What happened to the bacofoil rocket suits and personal robots?
Eco-sustainable Planned-opolis...
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?

Pyramid Spotting
A little something to illustrate a comment underneath an earlier post...
University College London Hospital. Hmmm, pointy...
If the City of London is the centre of the financial power of the British oligarchical elite, the area around University College is the heart of its psychological and pharmaceutical power.
The City is about fucking with your wallet. Bloombsury is about fucking with your brain and your body
Bloomsbury is home to a delightful mix of state run academia, big pharma and benevolent (sic.) charitable foundations, all fused into one big yummy, indistinguishable mass; which some people would describe as fascistic but I think is just plain scary
The local architecture is a bit of a give-away
And one thing that continues to baffle me is, how when some of us point out that the oligarchical elite has a demonstrable fondness for fruity little clubs, rituals, symbolism and architecture, the sheer lunacy of the fruity little clubs, rituals, symbolism, and architecture is somehow laid at the door of the people doing the pointing out, not the people responsible for it all
Did I mention that the Tavistock Institute was founded in Bloomsbury?

Don't hold your breath but...
"Police have been ordered to release footage of the 7/7 bombers following a freedom of information request by the Press Association.
The request for seven pieces of footage to be released has been ongoing for three years.
The images show the terrorists chatting, putting on rucksacks and buying snacks on their way to blow up trains on the London Underground.
The suicide bombings on 7 July 2005 killed 52 people in London.
The explosions caused by Mohammad Sidique Khan, Jermaine Lindsay, Shehzad Tanweer and Hasib Hussain also left hundreds injured..."
This could be interesting
And an Establishment Gold Star for the State Broadcasting Company for including the mandatory, cut and paste, 'The suicide bombings on 7 July 2005 killed 52 people in London' line, as if anyone has forgotten.
And another a Gold Star to the the SBC for being able to unequivocally identify the perpetrators of 7/7 without the need for any trial or investigation into the atrocity
Presumably the Beeb's taking the Met and Home Office's word for what happened
After all, it's not as if anyone in the Met or Home Office has been caught out lying about any murders recently

First they came for the smokers...
I went for a long walk around North Central London today - Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets
And I saw dozens and dozens of the same poster plastered all over phone boxes and bus stops
This poster...
there's also a link to a related wesbite
Last night I got involved in an extended, extended by me anyway, chat with someone in the comments under one of my posts on the subject of big government vs small government
I maintained that the relative size of government is an irrelevance and a distraction from more significant concerns
I would, however, argue that when government starts spunking money taken off people under threat of imprisonment (i.e. tax) on expensive cross-media marketing campaigns which tell those same people that they are dirty pigs then, yes, the people employed doing that are probably better employed in a private sector sweatshop - preferably somewhere nasty .

The Common Enemy
Further to my previous post about Islamo-Fascist Awareness week and the traditional anti-Muslim knees up being planned in London on 26th October…
One of the reasons why the organisers of the demonstration selected the 26th was to coincide with a rally calling for a referendum of the proposed EU treaty/ Constitution the following day
The implication being that they anticipate a large overlap of those against further EU integration and those who believe that Muslims are taking over the country
Because, as everyone knows, the EU is completely controlled by militant jihadists
Over the weekend, someone very thoughtfully sent me a link to a two hour long film on google video of someone in a church hall making a presentation about how the EU is attacking UK society from within via an entity called ‘Common Purpose’...
Common Purpose is a peculiar wee organisation which provides what it calls 'leadership-training' courses to select individuals within the private and public sector. It also offers extensive networking opportunities to its ‘Graduates’ after their training.
From what little I’ve been able to pick up from the bland yet creepy Common Purpose website and other little snippets I’ve encountered here and there, Common Purpose gives off a vibe of some kind of cross between Scientology, EST therapy, the Stepford Bureaucrats and the Masons
Leadership Training selection process...
Which I would, under other circumstances, find amusing, except for the fact that literally thousands of people from the police, the armed services, the education service, local government, national government, the NHS, and the prison service have all been subject to Common Purpose indoctrination at public expense
And yet hardly anyone has heard of Common Purpose
Common Purpose is also, by its own admission, actively selecting children it judges most likely to be future leaders and giving them a spot of training too
Well, that’s not sinister at all
Common Purpose is part of a much wider malaise and a component of an interlocked network of dodgy think tanks, quangos, lobby groups, and consultancies, populated by the kind of bloodless, sociopathic droids who now dominate our political parties and public sector. I don’t know whether they were born or made but they’re a bunch of fuckers wherever they came from.
Now the problem with the video about Common Purpose I was given the link to and have, in turn, pasted into this post is that the person making the presentation and the people watching it are just a teensy weensy bit, er, reactionary
OK, make that extremely reactionary
Which means that even though quite a lot of decent and informative research is contained within the presentation the conclusions that people in the film draw from that research are shaped by some pretty ropey world views
And this, for me, is the tricky thing. When presented with evidence of the existence of murky, unaccountable and powerful organisations exercising malign influence on our lives, independent Right Wing thinkers will start talking about Marxist conspiracies. Yet, when presented with exactly the same evidence, independent Left Wing thinkers will start talking about Fascist conspiracies
My own take is that Left and Right Wing independent thinkers are hampered by their existing terminology and are therefore both wrong. But, in a way, they’re both correct and they could achieve much if they would look past their differences and realise that they have a Common Enemy in organisations such as Common Purpose and, more to the point, the elitist bastards behind them. If those bastards win we're all fucked - Left and Right Wing alike
-
PS As an aside, the last time I posted about Common Purpose, and the equally creepy Tavistock Institute, was back in May. The thread of comments underneath that post catalysed the creation of the Conspiraloon™ Alliance which is destined to one day eat Common Purpose for breakfast and ask for seconds, MuahahahHAAAAA!!!

"both the left wing and the right wing are flapped by - and attached to - the same bird, which unfortunately continues to fly on its chosen course - and we continue to blame its flight upon one of the wings, when blame should be apportioned to a limited degree to both wings, and in particular to the supporting frame to which they are secured, and without which neither would exist"
