  • Reading Finnegans Wake: Bloomsday In Antwerp 2018

    maximum respect to DJ Stephen MC, lighting, camera crew, chief grip and soundancers, and special FX from old bill.

  • What if the almanac were the Tesla papers?

    What if the almanac were the Tesla papers?

    What if the almanac were the Tesla Papers?

    And McFly was Biff
    And Biff’s nephew were Donald Trump
    And Donald Trump’s uncle was called John
    An M.I.T electromagnetic physics don?

    What if the Almanac were the Tesla papers?

    What if John Trump got into capers
    With Tesla’s secret weapons papers
    And went to Malvern in a hurry
    To build a bomb, and some radar therapy
    Was it covered in the newspapers?

    What if the Almanac were the Tesla papers?

    And Back to the Trump/Biff future
    A plan by the man to sell more arms
    What if the USA & UK & Canada
    Secretly pursued Tesla’s killingry
    While ignoring Bucky Fuller’s plans for livingry

    What if the Almanac were the Tesla papers?

    What if this little poem was coded
    And overloaded with things that exploded
    What if the worlds weapons programmes
    Nuclear, electromagnetic, high energy laser
    And space weapons all stemmed from Tesla’s work?

    What if the Almanac were the Tesla papers?

    What if, to continue a popular meme
    Dr. Emmett Brown was really mean?
    And McFly really that Biff guy
    And the Flux Capacitor from Tesla’s dream?
    I mean

    What if, the Almanac, were, the Tesla papers?

    What if all humanity deserved a cut of the
    Trillions of Dollars and Pounds of profit
    Gained from research at Malvern and other
    Weapons facilities?
    In accordance with Tesla’s free-for-all proclivities

    What if the Almanac, were the Tesla papers?

    What if John Trump travelled into the future
    And created Cambridge Analytica,
    To ensure his nephew Donald became Prez
    Who sez that’s crazy talk?
    Just google John G Trump + Malvern
    And ask yourself to wake up and smell the vapours

    What if the Almanac, were the Tesla papers?

    what if John passed Death-star plans to Reagan?
    What if Doc Brown were a charlatan like Fagin
    And Elon Musk were using Tesla’s ideas
    Free of charge, trips to mars and tiny nano-gears
    What if a white devil ruled from Skyscrapers

    What if the Almanac, were the Tesla papers?



    Footnote A:
    Depending on what you know about Nikola Tesla, or have read, and believe? there’s many avenues here to jump ahead of the facts, proposing for instance, that John Trump was secretly continuing Tesla’s work on more exotic inventions, such as time-travel, and exotic weapons, and fucking weather control. If you want to explore this area of the Trump-Tesla connections, be sure to put on your tin-foil hat and watch yer’ heads goin’ in. Folks, there’s a lot of speculation, but the facts are equally sensational, makes for a heady mix. John G Trump, was indeed a technical aide for Division 14 of the National Defence Research Committee, he reviewed and analysed the Tesla papers after Tesla died. Trump was also the director of the British Branch of the Radiation laboratory based at Malvern, the BBRL, which in turn was a part of TRE, the Telecommunications Research Establishment. There’s dozens of cans of worms to turn over, but my can of worms involves Trump and his connection to Malvern, 1942.

    Some of the most influential and key figures within British and US intelligence were gathered on and around the grounds of the Old Malvern Boys School, in Worcestershire, UK. Including John Trump, and undoubtably many scientists with a shared interest in the work of Nikola Tesla. Who can estimate how influential Tesla’s ideas were in the second world war, and other conflicts were electricity and energy became weaponised? Once again, there’s a lot of room for speculation, and some people have gone all the way, proposing secret military operations that include deep tunnel projects, space colonies on the moon and mars, and interstellar spacecraft powered by advanced propulsion systems, weapons, lasers, radar. You name it. But it’s the time-travel devices that have really captured the imagination of some contemporary conspirators.

    If it takes a wild conspiracy theory about how Donald Trump’s uncle worked on a time-travel technology, that has been used and abused to ensure that Donald became President, and, that the movie Back to the future II” was trying to warn, or prepare us, so be it. Imagine Dr. Emmett Brown as John Trump, who’s using Tesla technologies to send his nephew, Biff, not Marty McFly, back through time to profit from advanced Tesla technologies. Now if Biff is in fact the Donald, and we continue the Back To The Future analogy, then we’re looking for something in the ascendence of Trump to the political kingdom that relates to the almanac? But, instead of an almanac of the results of sporting events, to make bets, win big and take over the world, what i f the almanac were in fact the Tesla Papers? Trump acts in secret, through his uncles old boys circles and manages to feed the technological Tesla almanac and it’s contents to American industrialists, such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, DARPA and more recently Space-X. Musk, let’s not forget, in wisdom named his super advanced car, TESLA. The first movie, Back To the Future was released on July 3rd, 1985. John trump died Feb 28th, 1985.  Death Rays, Trump, Tesla, Time Travel, Malvern and Marty McFly, Oh my.

    Some problems, first of all, so what if John was Donald’s uncle, what does that have to do with his personality, even if it’s in the genes as Donald claims when speaking of his rich intellectual heritage (meaning John Trump).  Do all Trumps have a propensity to want to make an ill mannered, belligerent, rude, greed head like Biff, and the 45th president of the United states?  There is a lot of testimony on the web claiming that John Trump didn’t touch the weapons stuff. J Trump was certainly working alongside those who built the bombs and death weapons during the second world war. After the war, we can agree that in public sight he used new high-energy technologies for the betterment of mankind, for medical applications, and ecological projects like treating sludge (Maybe Donald could have used this technology to clean the swamp, rather than drain it?) Meh, it all sounds a bit air-brushed to me, I feel that John Trump was indeed capable of working on weapons. Is a time-machine a weapon?

  • Rockers, artists pay tribute to James Joyce with massive project

    “What I found out,” says Pyle, “was that there were all these niches and subcultures — dead heads, punk rockers, out-there artists, avant-garde classical musicians, Robert Anton Wilson fans — and within their subcultures ‘Finnegans Wake’ has a lot of importance. … What I think happened was we were able to bring together a bunch of niches, people who were interesting and also supportive — that cult thing, when you’re really into something, you’re really into something. We brought together those people as both audience and contributors.”

  • Unjust My Opinion

    Unjust My Opinion (UMO)
    (a freestyle driven by rhyme pressure)
    …unjust my opinion, makes me cry like a onion
    i feel my opinion, hurts my foot like a bunion
    opinion, i got a million, billion
    a trillion zillion 23 piece pinion
    I just can’t stand any more your opinions
    unless they be new ones, or clever funny uns’
    shoulda’ coulda’ woulda’ brudda’ what you sayin?
    why put me in a straight jacket of your wordplayin’ 
    pain, who’s paying
    you need an op to remove it
    that opinion, you can’t prove it
    logic in the way, just move it
    add to hard facts to soothe it
    like a bed of nails, you can’t smooth it
    like a sun in a ditch light groove it
    have you got more opinions than Trump
    cuz we got the funk to shake yo’ rump
    lance that opinion, remove the lump
    tomorrow your opinion lies dead in the trunk
    i think your opinion is your opinion
    so keep your eye on the group and beware the minion

  • Hi Kev

    Hi Kev,

    I thought you might enjoy an update as your all discombobulated and stuff, no longer here with us in this mortal rugby-scrum-of-a-form. I usually fucking hate these kind of notes to the deceased, you know the kind of thing: ‘hey, hey, hey bro…’ as if you can hear me, or as if you can read these lame words, however, with you mate, i thought it might make your spirit fizz, froth, and chuckle a little. And, it makes me feel less like i’m going so stour-crazy in your absence, and a bit more like your on a very very long holiday in some shit hole of a resort, with no wifi.

    Gordon Bennet, you really shuffled off the stage at a strategic point eh? sneaky bastid! and you set the 2016 death pool in motion that savaged many of your favourite artists like Prince, George Michael, Bowie, and Leonard Cohen. You woulda’ bin well gutted mate. Even Carrie Fisher died, maybe she’s already on the eternal dancefloor spinning on that galactic pole!

    Well, i suppose you’d want the low down on what’s going in town, and with your mates. A who’s who of who, and who’s doing who. Sorry, not tellin’…it’s just all as well as can be expected bro’, it’s not like anybody went and died or nothing like that, but indeed, some might be seen as the living dead on the dancefloor compared to yowa’ kevbot (had to drop the bot in here) Did i mention what a great time i had at your wake? man, after a few drinks i half expected you to walk in the door, pulling a Jesus move on us, but no. Seems you’re really dead, whatever that means.

  • A tough question and a poem

    To celebrate 100’000 blog views, a blog tough question, and a poem


    I started writing this as a response to the question below, taken from an article that whizzed by on social media. Since starting i watched some Slavoj Zizek on youtube, and marveled at his diligent dance around philosophical questions, and then recalled his comments on punching a nazi, a theme of this blog, that i conclude to mean, don’t punch a nazi, please, it lowers any progressive movement and authenticity of the undeniable force for good. By using the oppressors method of violence. Zizek holds his place as public intellectual and comedic philosopher of our times IMHO.
