Red Bull Air Race

Took me a while to get to this one. Televised on 10th June. Some serious stunt / racing planes. I mean these babies swivel on their axis at serious rate. To give you an idea the pilot flips the wings side ways a split second before they go through a gate.

Most are those are of Paul Bonhomme for the Great Britain. The others are of Hannes Arch, Austria. What a sport !

Calling Nightjack

This is bloke one …. this is bloke one .. calling bloke two … Nightjack .. calling Nightjack ! Where are your anonymous remailers ? Where is your Tor and Electronic Frontier Foundation ? Where are your secret letters to third party posters ? Why do we stand in the headlights of authority while the cave of discourse is filled with the tools of freedom around us ? Why do we listen to the voice of finality that says that it is all over when it is not. Why is something called “anonymous” when anyone can find out who wrote it ? Would you walk down the street in a disguise with your name printed all over it ? So as we write the reality cheques the “bad guys” fleece us of our money that we left hanging out of our pocket for them to take. We cry “thief” ! While shedding the keys to our safes behind us. What is the world coming to when a decent bad guy has such easy pickings ? It’s no fun anymore. Ya know ?

Doing the Vulcan Shuffle

Palden Jenkins describes to me how the term Jihad describes the struggle with the self in the mind. The struggle with yourself. With “your own worst enemy” as it has been put. I still tend to think of things in process terms .. “if that bit of information were known then x would lead to y” and so on and so on. I forget that active change is not achieved by “doing things”. People learn about themselves. We help people to see what they are and how to move through their own minds … then big changes can happen. They are not made to happen by legislation or rallies.

Star Trek. Gene Roddenbury really got it. Look at episodes like Random Thoughts. But I will come back to that.

Dr. Tracy describes how the psych drugs cause a form of sleep disorder. The contents of the unconscious end up in waking reality. These school shootings – Columbine – and other acts of violence are, sadly, as a result of this. Jihad violence that should be in the mind spilling out into reality ?

How can humans be so evil ? How can we commit such acts of total abhorrence ? It is because those things exist in the subconscious of man. They are real, most people are aware of them, but not everyone lets them out, or they know how to settle and control the mind. This is the Vulcan in Star Trek. The message of the Vulcans. In the Voyager episode there is a moment when a Vulcan reveals his subconscious to someone. It is filled with the most disturbing, darkest thoughts !

It can be stopped. The violence in the world is the result of people’s actions. Of course. Those actions are an expression of the life of the mind. Where do we think this violence comes from ?

So maybe it’s not disabling the latest nuclear sub. Maybe disabling one’s messy mind processes disables a thousand subs.

A Very Serious Public Safety Problem

This has come up before but I’m certain about it now. I’m pretty pissed about it I can tell you.

A local carer (one of the better one’s I think) told me a story of stroke damaged man he took a few months caring for. At first he was pointing at the floor going “fish” … “fish!”. The carer could not work out what he wanted. A few months later, when he had recovered enough,  he asked him about this. “What did you mean when you were asking me about fish?”. The guy said that he wanted to put his shoes on and was actually pointing in the direction of his feet saying what he thought was “shoe”, but it came out as “fish”.

This is exactly what I do sometimes ! On my computer – I did it just now – I was copying an address – “shell.sourceforge.net”. It would not work ! I looked again. I’d typed “web.sourceforge.net”. I’m _sure_ now that I was *actually* typing “shell” but it came out as “web”. Just like the story.

This leads to the most excruciating frustration as it’s almost impossible to track down errors because I have what is really there recorded as something else.

Unbelievable. This is the height or demonic cruelty !

Even more seriously … what are the impications of this ? Those who have read this blog before may know, or guess that my brain damage is from having faulty pharmaceiticals forced upon me. So what about other people who are having these used upon them and getting the same damage ?

What about pilots ? Nuclear power station personnel ? The military ? What if they get “confused” due to structural brain damage and press the wrong button ?

Does anyone get this yet ?

Now you could argue that those who are given, or have forced upon them, these drugs won’t be in work or could be refused work, but that is simply not the case. Prozac is regularly prescribed by Doctors for all sorts of ailments and the patient will not tell their employer for fear of being dismissed.

This very serious public safety problem needs to be uncovered and bought to light. I urge anyone who understand these words to take action on this immediately.

Suspend the Reality Game – The Pharma Wars are Real

I wonder why some people don’t “get” that the Pharma Wars are real. Millions are tortured and killed.

Could the reason be that they don’t “get” it be that it conflicts with everything some people have been brainwashed into thinking about the West …. the USA and Europe ? Somehow they seem to think that “we” are the pinnacle of freedom and democracy. That somehow just saying so this makes it so. Take this Game Politics news item … “Guantanamo Game Project Halted in Wake of Controversy“. I don’t support people who bomb and kill either. That would be like being a “pro life” anti abortion activist and shooting doctors. But this game just came too close to what people hold at arm’s length so they can hold themselves in their fuzzy idea of being the “good guys”. The longer they hold themselves in that fuzzy area then the more likely they are to support the things that do bad in the world.

You see … it does’nt work … does it.

European and United States Capitalism is the most corrupt regime on the Planet. Holding those willing to be told lies in a net of “democracy” and “freedom” while that world simultaneously asset strips and misrepresents in the name of commercial forces … and I wonder why some people cannot face the dissenter chasing arm of that world. This arm watches for those who get “depressed” … often the first sign of seeing through the lie they have been told. They watch for those who get “depressed” and make sure that they never come out the other side because to do so would lead to seeing through the convenient illusion.

Take the way the 60’s are talked about. I was just listening to something on the radio about Rock and Roll and Hippies. The way it was talked about you would think that this period of history happened to the entire world. Where was China then ? Africa ? Russia ? South America.

We are some of the most arrogant and self centered people ever to hit this planet since maybe the Roman Empire. We’re so preoccupied with preening our identity as the “free” people that we’ve led ourselves down a dark path. A very dark path indeed. This darkness justifies the mistreatment of people in the name of “illnesses” and “care”. Somehow some people are able to stand in front of someone being massively abused and kid themselves that it is something else.

What a waste. What a shame. While we are exploring other planets …

… and achieving things that our ancestors fought for, for thousands of years, there is a situation going on, on this planet that cries out for a solution. It is the Pharma Wars. So I cry out to the other planets out there in every sense of that word … where are you ? We need help here. I see the most profoundly evil and disturbing sufferring going on. Why are the good people of Planet Earth left on their own to try and solve this situation without help ? Is it some kind of New Age philosophy of “oh, we are learning a lesson” … Yuk ! I reject that entirely. Why are we left here to fend for ourselves ?

New Allotment – After a 6 Year Wait !

P1000440

My part is in the corner near the path marked around in white. I requested a plot in 2003 !!!!

It needs mulching in the next few weeks. I will put semi permeable plastic over the top or some organic alternative to keep the weeds back and then planting “vigorous crops” bassicas, squashes and sweetcorn.

It was *so* hot when I was up at these allotements choosing this one. I had to leave ealy to avoid sun stroke. Nice people up there and a peaceful atmosphere. Some amazing looking plots.
