I was going to compare and contrast competing Visions of the Future by pasting up the Suicide Booth scene from Futurama, but the only online clip I could find that hasn't been taken down by the copyright bots was in Czech
Mind you, whilst unintelligible, it does have a charm of its own
And one of these days I would like to sit down and compile a list of all the characteristics of the genre of propagandistic film-making that I will forever associate with the Blair years in the UK.
There's a shared look and sound to the style of films I have in mind and they are often associated with the kind of 'Common Purpose'-esque, public-private initiatives which piss me off something rotten - however mumsy the voice over
Whilst I appreciate that many loons out there like to describe this propaganda as 'communist' or 'marxist', they're wrong. It is the product of an unholy merger of corporate and state power, and that is fascism, well mostly
I appreciate that it's easier for people who don't see themselves as lefties to identify anything they perceive as evil as being 'Marxist' or 'communist' (and for lefties to identify anything evil as being 'fascist') but the situation is a little more complicated than simplistic use of poorly defined or understood terms like 'Marxism' is capable of describing
The fact that unaccountable foundations, pressure groups and think tanks, like the one that made the video at the top of this post, are funded by big corporations as well as government should be a bit of a fucking clue as to the nature of The Beast.
If your definition of communism encompasses activities that are promoted by and benefit large, privately owned corporations and billionaire individuals it might be worth your while contemplating the internal contradictions in that point of view. I can understand how people might argue that a bastardised form of communism might, like so many other 'isms', be co-opted as a tool of those private corporations and billionaires but are those corporations and billionaires themselves communist? What word would you, should you use to describe them?

like when Ricky Gervais takes the piss out of brown people and spastics
year ago I seen Goodfellaws when it first came out,the violence in it it shocked me back then,,,this type of video is very sinister.Maybe Ike is on to something with his references to the "lizard people!"
Here is the creepy little cunt that made the No Pressure video
Richard Curtis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Curtis lives in Notting Hill and has a country house in Walberswick, Suffolk - the same village in which former BBC1 controller Peter Fincham has a weekend retreat[6] - with script editor and broadcaster Emma Freud.[7][8] Their children are: daughter Scarlett Rachel Anne, and sons, James William and Charlie Spike.[9] They have another country retreat in Henley, Oxfordshire.
Whenever I see arch-communist Richard Curtis' name mentioned I always have to link to this...
Richard Curtisland
It's a Pavlov thing
NB When I say arch-communist I am, of course, using the term in the sense of it meaning a wealthy person with lots of capital who strives to perpetuate and extend the system which has enabled them to be disproportionately wealthy
Words like communist/ marxist/ socialist can no longer be used to describe people of average or below average means who are striving for a fairer deal.
And if there is no word for something it makes discussing it a tad difficult
Panopolis. If it aint Communism, it sure is totalitarianism:
"tightly planned and controlled urban transport..."
"calorie card..."
"allotted journey time ..."
""so glad there's a mega computer in charge ..."
"our kids ... allocated a school..."
"calorie fucking ration..."
"what's on the fucking menu this month?"
"the fucking Global Food Fucking Council are doing a really fucking good job letting us have food every month ..."
"You don't get the choice you used to ... but this Victory Brand pablum is really fucking nutritious."
"the fucking State knows ..."
"so much better to grow food in parking lots - wot with no fucking sunlight? Get real."
Maybe not quite verbatim. But there's no doubt this woman's a fucking serf and fucking well revels in it.
Here's the list of morons and shysters who support this vile propaganda:

Boycott the lot of 'em.
"Panopolis" should be Planopolis, obviously
Panopolis. If it aint Communism, it sure is totalitarianism
That's the kind of language I'm personally much more comfortable using
And whilst on the subject of manipulating the masses...
Nudge, nudge, wink wink... How the Government wants to change the way we think
Eco-friendly funerals
"
Nudge, nudge, wink wink... How the Government wants to change the way we think"
Exactly, that's why the voice of the government must be silenced. That means ending all public education, immediately and, more generally, disbanding virtually the entire public service.
The only thing the government should do is guarantee everyone a job at a living wage, which would be easily enough done by (a) abolishing the minimum wage, and (b) instituting a negative income tax.
Then, if your market value was less than a living wage, the government would pay you some money, rather than tax you. Since, under the regime I propose, there would be few government services to fund, the negative tax scheme could be quite generous, ensuring every worker, however low their market wage, an incentive to increase their earning power.
The cool thing about the scheme is that it could revive British industry, since the minimum market wage would now be below the market wages paid iby Asian sweat shops.
You mean that wasn't satire?
oh my
but rather difficult to impliment when Britain's climate begins to resemble Lappland's.
There could be fines for not removing snow and icicles from roofs, however.
It is getting increasingly difficult to distinguish between satire and not-satire. There's probably something about it as being a sign of End Times in Revelations somewhere
And if failure to clear snow ever becomes a capital offence I'll be getting myself some of these puppies
and in, related news, commentators' attempts to answer a question posed by Guardian writer result in "This comment has been removed by a moderator. Replies may also be deleted" frenzy
Why have UK media ignored climate change announcements?
Komment macht Frei...
This is the 3rd time I've tried to leave this comment, so I guess Blogger don't like the content:
Here are 2 links worth checking in order to gauge some measure of how hypocritical the Global-Warming Hysterics are
An Inconvenient Question: The Age of Stupid NYC Premiere
10:10 – our chance to save the world
that second link should have been http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/10/07/frannys-guilty-pleasure/
~I also spotted this bit of Marketing twaddle
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/feb/28/franny-armstrong-filmhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/feb/28/franny-armstrong-film
and this
There will be blood – watch exclusive of 10:10 campaign's 'No Pressure' film which, had they stuck a laugh-track on it, might even have passed unnoticed.
This is pretty weird - I have had the same comment deleted 3 times now yet 2 others got through - so I will split the comment in 2 and see what happens:

and a 5th time:

Apparently "2-Jags" Prescott is now known as LORD Prescott - which came as a surprise to me let me tell ya.
For some strange reason the BBC refer to him as "The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly Rapporteur"
anyway here's the obese twunt actually lecturing about the immorality of the 'Western Lifestyle' while blaming Andrew Neill ("people like YOU!") for daring to draw attention to not only his LORDships moral bankruptcy, but the moral bankruptcy of the Eco-hysterics in general.
His Lordship even takes what I suppose he thinks is a clever dig at Neill, by mentioning 'Weight'.
Fekin hilarious . . . .

I wonder if this one will get through,

working through the 'spam' now - the folks at blogger clearly think they've come up with the perfect spam filter system as there's no fecking way of turning it
...off
here's a good one -
http://tinyurl.com/William-Connolly-Wikipedia
William Connolly (or associates using his login credentials) altered and in some cases deleted entirely articles from Wiki challanged challenged the orthodoxy of human-caused global warming.
Typical examples were: Claiming that when Vikings named Greenland 'Greenland' the 'Green' was not a reference to the colour of plant-life but instead to some silly theory made up by the likes of Connolly where Green referred to the existence of flat-land in the area.
Connolly also edited articles on the Roman and Medieval warm periods to downplay the positive benefits warmer temperatures had, and any articles that suggested increased CO2 would result in faster plant growth and more food for a starving world.
ok - maybe you might tidy up some of the duplicates for me - cos otherwise I'll just end up looking even more of a complete loon than I usually do
thanks
bloody hell it just relegated to 'spam' my latest comment as well - FFS.

every comment marked as 'spam' has contained links to egregious examples of Eco-hysteria-hypocrisy - all others got through

"working through the 'spam' now - the folks at blogger clearly think they've come up with the perfect spam filter system "
well if the purpose is to hinder people pointing out the hypocrisy of the Eco-tards - then they HAVE come up with a pretty good spam filter
in order to get anything past the filter I had to hide it by first going to TinyUrl and making a new link and also making sure that the new link had no reference in the new-name to the subject matter
still, looking on the bright side, after a little tidying this comment thread looks just like a Guradian Komment macht Frei AGW article after the mods have been unleashed
thx for the link to the vid about 'Age of Stupid' in particular
Flipping over to Franny Armstrong's wikipedia entry...
"She is primarily known for three films: climate change blockbuster The Age of Stupid..."
a blockbuster no less
and then there's this little curiosity...
On 2 November 2009, Armstrong was threatened in the streets of north London by three girls whom she described as looking "like something straight out of central casting". They pushed her against a car and pulled out an iron bar. She cried for help and was rescued by Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, who was cycling by. He chased off the attackers and then insisted on escorting Armstrong home. During this 20-minute journey, she suggested that he adopt the 10:10 policy for the tube and that he pedestrianise Camden Town. He replied that he wanted to pedestrianise areas across London.
She thanked him with a 10:10 badge and a copy of Age of Stupid. When interviewed afterwards, she praised him as her "knight on a shining bicycle". Politically, she still preferred his predecessor Ken Livingstone, for whom she had campaigned but allowed that "If you find yourself down a dark alleyway and in trouble I think Boris would be of more use than Ken".
George Monbiot, Eugenie Harvey, Franny Armstrong, Richard Curtiss ...the very epitome of proletarian communist class warriors
I wonder what the police report on Franny's encounter looked like
Perhaps the police report looked like the one generated after this Myleene Class incident.
