  • A Response to some current events (Sopa, wikileaks, Joyce, Pipa)

    A Response to some current events.

    A Joke for January 2012:

    “What are you in for, buddy?” said the Bad Bwoy

    “I got drunk and drove my car into a breast implant centre, killing two pedestrians and injuring six women because my wife planned to have em’ removed, i got 4 years.” Pipa replied… “what are you in for?”

    “I shared the biggest ever batch of classified documents about the inner workings of global governments, corporations and banks, I just got out of the hole where they mentally tortured me. I’m in for life, me.” said the Bad Bwoy.

    “And you, hey, you, what you in for kid?” Pipa asked the third prisoner.

    “I downloaded the complete Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars movies for my grandma, I got five years”

    “What!”

    Joyce and Pipa

    While the copyright on the major works of the Irish Genius James Joyce expired on the 1st January 2012, moving them into the public domain, to my delight, the rest of the world’s literature, film, music, arts and business are threatened by Sopa and Pipa, exaggerated draconian laws which like most bad policy, in fact, work to increase the confusion and do little to curb the problem. I wonder…is Joyce having the last laugh at us all stumbling around within the English language networks and webs, meanwhile, surrounded by the cloaking tech-cloud of all languages, translation tools, and nearly all combinations of languages and possible phrases, slang and everything under the sun, together swirling around in cyberspace, copying itself into a giant bubbling soup, our internet, like Joyce’s Wakean ‘nat’ language, seeking replication and interuption, new combinations.

    Tony Bliar: Sports Chimp

    I saw that old cheating chimp Tony Blair in a disgusting news item from the even more disgusting, to me, Time magazine reporting his sport campaign that got me hopping mad there for a few minutes yesterday (Jan. 18th) but soon, I realized, he’s not worth shedding many finger strokes over is he? (do I look bovverd?) so I skip the two-faced Bush puppy, war monger-lyer, and move on…Name calling always feels better while typing than reading afterwards.

    Faith-Based

    Many words have been shed on the general troubles in the middle East, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan. It’s complex, I can say that much. Yet I would repeat here my shared hope, somewhat riffing on something I heard from uncle Bob once, the general idea that if all sides in these conflicts were to drop their conflicting–equal and opposite religious faith–which tells them that they and they’re group, party, or nation, whatever and only they’re group, party or nation, whatever; know the divine holy truth, then, maybe, some progress might be made in sharing the abundance of resources surrounding them.

    Negotiating towards making global trade, shared resources, without being dictated too based upon some out-of-date scripture or totalitarian spy state system that embodies similar religious ‘faith based’ ideology, such as: trust in your government and one nation under surveilance. O.K  

    The problem of faith-based government, meanwhile, gestates in the west causing equal havoc and confusion. Not checking the facts for yourself can leave you with piles of useless, empty bonds, useless laws and law enforcement and, a self-destructive industry built upon munitions, warfare and what Bucky Fuller aptly calls ‘Killingry’. Wake up, think for yourself, stop the war, stop the cuts.

    Rupert Sopadoch

    That of all the scum bags to come out in support of the ‘Stop Online Piracy Act’ Rupert Murdoch crawled out from a stone and said (tweeted?) something uninformed and typically volatile on the issue, how do these damn papers and news websites publish his words without reminding us of the recent Newscorp Phone Hacking Scandal? How contradictory his words seem, to me, in the light of facts about that case.

    I implore my readers and friends to boycott the entertainment industry as far as the super majors are concerned, and at your own discretion, but, please be conscious of the fact that when you buy movie tickets, and DVD’s and CD’s from the Major labels and production factories your supporting them and their ilk, you are what you buy into, Food, clothing, drinks, music, entertainment, everything you interact with. Nobody is perfect, but make an effort to think. A new war sounds like fighting talk, but a war metaphor is invoked here, this war, to me, started when entertainment industry stared ‘fattening frogs for snakes’ as the saying goes.

    (slight rant) It started, I reckon, when the no-playing motherfuckers in the entertainment business started war/relations with those who challenged they’re authority, the content providers, and so begun signing artists and projects based upon they’re commercial viability opposed to artistic merit (e.g see the latest incarnation: Simon Cowell) and openly attacking any and all alternative entertainment culture (see counter counter-culture history) eventually co-opting them to jive with the slick super-global corporate model, presenting watered down snips trickled out to specific segments of the public in pre-meditated programming, interspersed with adverts and flashy edits, censors and any whims of whoever holds the money, at least, thas’ I see it, after this recent Sopa/Pipa malarchy and the Hollywood, Pop Music industry and Book publishing house support for an incredibly ill thought out and dangerous set of new laws.

    Rollingstone leaks

    There’s a great interview with Julian Assange in Rollingstone Magazine which, for me, backs up the reasons I like and support Wikileaks in their work, and Assange as an individual who seems totally committed to his work, tha I find mind boggling in its brevity and daring and staright up genius. The global village crisis as defined by Assange reminds me of hagbard Celine’s Law ‘National security is the chief cause of National insecurity’.

    This same sentiment, I think, can be distilled from two recommended sources, Cory Doctorow’s excellent presentation ‘The coming war on general computation‘ at the CCC 2011 conference, and Mark Pesce’s brilliant book/on-line interface ‘Nextbillionseconds’. Both of these network minded individuals deploy a sense of optimism and factual knowledge in their illuminating communications. Both reflect the benefits and the migration of information towards ‘open networks’ and the ‘copy and copy and copy’ nature of networks. Thankfully their exciting and rich language outlines the context of Sopa/Pipa and other ‘net censorship’ projects. Very fresh, highly recommended.

    Some of their work draws parallels, to my mind, with the war on some drugs and pharmacological Inquisition. Once again we have policy and laws made by people who have very little experience and knowledge of the field, the abuse of generalized terms, ambiguous phrases and disproportionate punishments for potential offenders. I think that Cory has mentioned this connection, emphasizing the drug war without end, like the war on terrorism without end, defined by who, we may ask? and how? As the boundaries between the chemical and the digital and biological blur, this connection between internet prohibition and drug prohibition may fuse into a general ‘information prohibition’.

    I think it’s not in the nature of self-owning humanity, in the midst of a rupture or–information explosion—to stop copying, the shit’s gotten everywhere now and cannot be put back inside any Genii bottle or doggy doo bag. The shits already spread all over the bag and the smell will probably never go away.

    Peace out peeps, steve fly

  • Bucky Living Through Chemistry and Planetary Synergy


    Bucky Living Through Chemistry and Planetary Synergy

    Buckminster Fuller developed a game he called ‘world game’ that gives the players the opportunity to manipulate and ‘play’ with the global ‘planetary’ life-support systems, putting players in the most powerful positions of world power and sharing the agency to change policy and trade and spending within specified territory. Players can experiment with various strategies for creating a healthy co-operative relationship with other players, and with luck a ‘planetary synergy’ of shared, interconnected resources and intelligence.

  • Two new rants: Where’s Frank and Who Killed Kelly?

    RANT 1:

    “The existence of the secret mind control programme of the CIA and the Army only came to light after Nixon’s resignation in 1974, when a fresh wind of “openness” seemed to flow through the opened windows of the Washington governmental offices. American journalist John Marks requested, using the Freedom of Information Act, several documents on the subject, which would result in Senate Hearings that occurred in 1977. A can of worms had been opened. Were there any references to Puharich in these documents? One of the projects that was part of this programme, BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE, ran from 1952 till 1956, roughly coinciding with the period when Puharich was assigned to Edgewood.–Philip Coppens, Beyond the stargate.

    ‘Where’s Frank?”

    1953-56
    A Can of worms or
    A barrel of Cobras or 
    An Oil tanker, full of Killer halibut?

    1953-56, while be-bop blazed
    Inside the heads of a whole new language
    A Bluebird ate an Artichoke in Maryland.

    What devilry possessed the authorities
    To break the first rule of psychic engagement?
    They altered the mind-scape of psychiatric patients
    At Powick 1953-56.
    Sheer coincidence?

    Puharich’s book ‘The Sacred Mushroom’
    Can be found
    In a library quite near to that famous Hospital
    Called Powick, where Elgar found inspiration.
    And where John Rowland Reece, and
    Doctor Ronald Sandison gave LSD,
    And WHO KNOWS? whatever else,
    To inmates, patients, subjects, whatever you like
    To call those people without medical training
    At Tavistock, Harvard, Camp-X? etc.

    Yes, you guessed it,
    You have arrived in my conspiracy
    A number of dots, nodes, junctions in history
    That tie together a bunch of loose laces,
    And not just any old boot,
    These are in fact Wellington Boots,
    With deep Amazon jungle vine, latticed
    Across and around them.
    Here we simply show how similar ideas and practices
    Of a particularly secret and sordid species,
    Were taking place AT THE SAME TIME.

    Yet, in modern historical studies,
    Political, psychiatric, cultural and lingual we find no
    Official record of these things ever taking place
    As a part of a bigger, more Unified, cross-Atlantic
    CONSPIRACY.
    You dig?
    Here, once more, fly agaric 23 presents:
    Beyond 2012 and the Storgate Conspiracy.
    Where’s Frank?

    I’ll get back to my tiresome intellectual pursuits
    That center around uncovering beauty and symmetry
    In language and culture, and sharing.
    Making music, poetry, and fun, for the most part.

    Helping other artists and individuals discover
    Poetry, music and ‘new questions’,
    I’ll get back to ‘art for social change’ after
    I write my piece leading directly into
    ‘The social’,
    Yet operates
    To nullify and ‘void’ the sad atrocities we have seen
    perpetuated by Military Industrial pharmacological
    Complex.

    Church and State departments seem to me
    To have sat around
    Thinking of new ways to trick, torture and steal from
    THE PEOPLE,
    The serfs, the rest of US, not serving
    Them directly or on the pay roll?
    Imprisoning us in State Department Stores
    And Church led psychiatric shops.

    Drug stores and more stores than anyone
    Even Orwell or BILL HICKS could have imagined.
    ALL THIS mockery of the great human potential
    And power for ALL-AROUND-THE-WORLD
    Co-operative collaborative systems!

    Inter-accomadative systems
    Like those defined by the great
    Buckminster Fuller, who, between the years
    1953-56 seemed to be perpetuating LIVINGRY
    And with POETRY.

    And with attention to LANGUAGE. And to STRUCTURE
    Clear and well defined.
    Technical, mathematical, and simplified
    EQUATIONS,
    Bucky mixed all styles of textual communication,
    Combined with his vast Omniverse of
    DESIGN REVOLUTIONS.

    And Bucky was mostly ignored, for the most part
    By the special PSYCHIC-DRUG lords,
    Busy tampering with mind-altering drugs
    In the name of National Security, and the usual
    Illuminati agenda of control, manipulation and
    Masks.

    1953-1956, where’s Frank now?
    What were they up?
    Them same old company tricks?
    We can only guess that the smoke thickens
    Light disappears and Oxygen leaves the room
    “Breath once more, son, and your history”
    The spook said in my ear.

    Don’t ask, don’t mention it,
    “An Iraqi super gun full of sea-monkeys?”
    The round table conferences
    The Wasson trips and Life magazine,
    What year, what year was it now? huh?

    Wiki the decade 1950-1960.
    See what’s up?
    Wiki Powick, wiki Mk-Ultra
    Wiki John Rowland Reece
    And James Jesus Angleton
    Wiki ‘Dr. Timothy Leary’
    And compare your Government employed
    Agents, and those self-employed.

    Would they, could they
    Did they, dey they?
    What else did they do to us, drugs and experiments
    Do you feel it yet? the pressure
    Of having something terrible to describe
    Like torture and scenes of abuse, the worst kinds
    Of atrocities that ‘take away’ what defines humans,
    In my view: the ability to say NO and mean it.

    Maybe I am wrong on all accounts
    Possibly…
    a. There were no LSD experiments at either Powick or in Maryland during the period 1953-56.
    b. There were experiments but with the intention of purely medical and research based experiments, to improve our collective understanding of the unconscious and help humanity and the individual better their communication, or some such ‘positive’ goal.
    c.  The experiments were only conducted using Mescaline and/or other psychoactive drugs, and/or methods such as Electro-shock so no LSD was used.
    d. The secret services were not involved with the naive search for a ‘Truth serum’ and have had no interest in drugging people without their knowledge and observing them for the purposes of ‘intelligence gathering’ in the tradition of the more well known ‘Nazi Doctors’ and their in-human experiments.
    e. I am an LSD casualty myself, and due to encounters with this marvelous medicine have developed an entire historical hallucination based upon a fictional Universe where nobody, not a soul, other than ‘I’ inhabit? None of these ‘things’ I write of are real. I invented them in a drug induced ‘psychic’ break with reality, in the singular.

    And to Camp X-factor we run
    Motor-way’s and ‘fish n’ chip shops’ flash by.
    Alone, a thinker on the street, a self-employed
    Agent dedicated to evolving all-around-the-world
    Humanity,
    And not just one company coffer.

    I want the truth,
    You can keep the serum,
    Where’s Frank?
    I’ll walk the plank scale for this my lovelies
    James Bond dealt the acid, but never ate himself,
    You dig.

    Like Batman’ s psychological warfare belt
    Of drugs and potions,
    1953-1956, come now, tell us, tell us all
    I want to know your tricks and I want
    To learn your trade, mate.
    Is Frank here yet?
    Where’s Frank

    RANT 2:

    Who didn’t murder David Kelly?

    Who who who?
    Somebody tried not to kill David Kelly, who?
    David Kelly killed David Kelly?
    Who didn’t want him dead?
    Who wanted David Kelly ALIVE, and why?
    Who got blood on their hands, and who put
    Blood on the Tele’?

    Who who who?
    An Iraqi weapons trade group?
    Who want’s him dead, who wants him alive?
    Dead or alive, the question remains…
    WHY DID TONY BLAIR OVERSEE FAKE INTELLIGENCE?
    Why did the UK Government send hundreds of soldiers
    To their deaths, based upon ‘sexed up intelligence?”
    Who who who benefits?
    What wouldn’t YOU have put past BUSH and BLAIR?

    If D.K killed himself due to an honor principle
    I would be honored if the other lying bastards behind the
    Intelligence ‘lies’ concerning weapons of mass destruction’
    Did the same thing, like how Bill Hicks might say it
    “Kill Yourself, really” one less moron.
    One less spook motherfucker!

    So far, only David Kelly has done the honorable thing
    Killed himself for what he had been a part of:
    The manufacture of consent, the ‘hoodwinking’
    Of an entire nation, for the purposes of a continued
    TRADE in weapons, poison, germs, guns and steel.

    Tony Blair and his FAITH
    In Lord Hutton, and Lord Hutton’s faith that
    70 years should do it, 70 years should be enough time
    For humanity to forget, WHY, David Kelly killed himself
    or Murdered himself? Murdered himself, huh?

    So, it follows, if Kelly killed himself
    We may look into the complex of factors that
    Pushed him into the act, may we not?
    Journalistic harassment, work pressure,
    An unhealthy diet, psychiatric imbalance?
    Lets not rule out any of these contributing factors
    To his death, based on the ‘suicide’ model.

    Maybe David didn’t eat enough Artichokes?
    What inquiry would find the media corporations
    And Military itself ‘guilty’ of murder?
    Like the JKF inquiry, you don’t think these
    Intelligencers are foolish enough to not have
    THEIR MAN heading the so called inquiry?

    Go back and look at the 911 commission
    The 7/7 inquiry, the IRAQ WAR TRIALS,
    The expenses scandal and, in fact, most Government
    Investigations and inquiry’s, even at the local level,
    The courts have been ‘packed’
    The council ‘stacked’ with
    THEIR men and their women,
    Pretending to ‘represent’ us as some kind of
    Autonomous ‘free agent’ whereas, in fact
    They remain chiefly whipped into order by
    Executive powers, spooks, investors,
    Religious scripture.  

    Who who who?
    Who can break this spell,
    Who can show us the relative truth,
    In such a way that we’ll never forget again,
    The power of motivated individuals to transform
    Humanity through peaceful, non-violent means.
    Who who who?

    Ray Kurzweil, the Dali Lama?
    Madonna, Oprah, Robby Williams
    Who who who?
    Mick Jagger and Paul Mcartney?
    Ken Wilber, Alex Jones?
    Arianna Huffington, Stephen Hawking?
    Who who who, who can lift the great ball of crystal
    Julian Assange?

    Suicide or Murder?
    What’s the difference?
    The question is WHO helped deceive the British people
    Into buying a WAR and supporting a group of serial killers
    In their on-going international ‘shopalypse’ campaign?

    Who killed him, who killed Diana?
    Who poisoned the Russian agent,
    Who set the underground bombs,
    Who befriended Hitler’s buddy
    Who invented the ‘spy’ game?
    What’s their name, rank, and file?

    Who befriended the American spooks?
    And invited them into town, Vatican contacts and all?
    Who who who?

    Who killed senator Wellstone,
    Who set the building seven ‘bomb’
    Who hired Diabold
    Who wanted John Lennon shot?
    Who paid Trent Lott
    Who hired terrorists?
    Who runs a flight school
    Who dealt the ‘promis’ software
    Who flew those planes
    Who builds the weapons, the guns, the poison?
    Who tops the pop charts,
    Who hosts the XX factor.

    Who killed David Kelly, and who forces us to
    Stop thinking about it by releasing ‘papers’ that say
    Keep calm and carry on?
    Ignore the Kellenedy assassination.
    Your missing valuable drinking time.
