We all are fond of a good read, and I have to say that last year, when I attempted again to read Luther Blisset’s “Q“, I remembered why I’d flung the book at the wall in annoyance on the last couple of attempts; it had been a collaborative effort by several authors, which often leaves the reader feeling that the novel’s structure is confused, and lacks cohesion, as a whole. I kept the book, as it had a pretty cover, and dusted it off, when everyone in the Truther Community was wondering about the identity of the Q poster causing a stir on the chans, with his cryptic political posts.
Now, I often review books on my own YouTube channel, and my videos don’t exactly set the intellectual firmament alight, but your average Truther tends not to be the arty type, preferring often to see things in black and white, rather than the full spectrum, when it comes to truth. Or maybe my videos just bore them. This one, by the Wu MingFoundation won’t, if you’re a Truther, as it’s related to the increasingly raised vibes the Truth Community is experiencing at the moment, from the dropping of a variety of truth bombs about how the conspiracy community’snarratives, that the various channels explore, are conceived, and organized.
Who did what, and when, are relevant questions, when the truth is at stake, and funnily enough, a lot of channels are still keeping rather quiet about their sources and affiliations, and leaving a lot of awakening-but-still-slightly-bewildered subs in the dark. Well, I do my best to seek the light, when it comes to truth, and looking behind some of the stories on YouTube’s Truth channels has been something which was a big influence on a lot of my posts over the last year or so. Turns out that Truther narratives are quite like a series of books, all around related themes, with some of the authorship shared. A lot of games get played, and strategy is all important in games.
Bound to happen, when life is like art, and inspires art, or the other way around, sometimes. What do artists like to do? Play with ideas.
In this next livestream, below, I discuss some of the games that informed ideas that become Truth Community projects, often referred to, yes, even by me, as LARPs, because they are like a game that everyone in the Truth Community participates in, whether they are aware of it, or not. I even got credited myself in other people scripts, on the Tube, and on other blogs, without having actually written a line of the thing, because if you are in the vicinity, you are in the game, according to the LARP rulebook.
What struck me as odd, or maybe not, was how little the origins of the games channels were playing were being discussed, openly, until very recently, and I’m very glad to see that the conversation is happening now, as I’m a big believer in truth, and transparency. Some of the links I provided along with my last couple of videos are useful, if you are interested in the mechanics of the thing, not just how the cogs and wheels move, and who’s running the projector, but who’s writing the scripts, and why. I’m including below some of the links I populated my chat and comments on my videos with, because you might find them enlightening, inspiring, and/or educational. Check out the links in this post, and the many links included in my two videos shown here, above, to be taken to some real red-pilling info, which requires, perhaps, a love of reading, rather than games, to be able to see the full picture to come into view.
Although we all can see things differently, we are all players in the game of life. Have fun, and be prepared to possibly end up with some muck on your clothing, and a few holes in the well-manicured lawn, when life and art intersect.
A Project Mayhem YouTube video, from 2012
A relevant clip from the movie, Fight Club. Warning: it’s pretty grisly, and the rules are, there ARE no rules.
It may seem complex, but you can figure it out. You have the keys. The secret is that there’s no secret, as it’s all there on the internet. You just have to know where tolook. My videos included above provide you with the links to help you figure out the rules to the game played regularly within the Truth Community, and decipher the scripts for yourself. Learn about the game, or level up in your own game, if you seek to avoid a download of chaos and mayhem, and are determined to seek your truth. Or you could just wait for a White Rabbit to appear.
A big shoutout to the kind reader who hooked me up with this Wikipedia page, which discusses Howard S. Becker’s social theory of “Moral Entrepreneurs”. I found it really interesting, particularly in relation to the idea of splitting this group into Rule Creators, and Rule Enforcers, and studying their role in society, along socio-economic lines, and I wanted to read more, after my interest had been stimulated by this always relevant topic. I came across this WordPress site, which expanded on the topic, and I thought my readers might find it interesting.
I had a spur of the moment notion last night. I thought, dammit, I’m gonna do another livestream, ‘cos I like where the Q conversation is going, and I got some things to say. They might seem to be taking a rather jaundiced view of Q, but I’m not known for being a yellow-belly, so I took the plunge, and after a quick smoke and scribble on a sticky pad, had my topics organised, and was good to go.
Marketing, dull, dull, dull. But relevant to the topic, particularly the subject of deep marketing techniques, in relation to the YouTube (and perhaps, now, more main stream trending topic of Q). If you don’t know who the heck Q is, start here, and work your way back to me, ‘cos you are coming in at the tail end of the story. If you are familiar with the Q phenomenon, you might get a different perspective from my livestream chat (lecture, to be honest) about it, streamed over about an hour and a half. I tell you the order of topics in the beginning, so you can skip to the bit you are interested in if you are stuck for time, however, the topics are interrelated, so they make sense when the whole video is watched. Hope you find something of interest to aid you in your Q search for truth. UPDATE: The Discordians latest attempts to conflate Q, Cicada and thegame23, in accordance with the LARPing nature of the movement’s stated aims of turning everything anyone ever believed into such confusing nonsense that all of reality becomes a gluey soup where your mind gets stuck forever, making you incapable of distinguishing reality from fiction, and they get to laugh their socks off at meta-intellectual they are being. Truly nasty people, who don’t care what damage is done to people’s sense of reality, or what damage is done to other’s genuine projects, as they claim credit for the work of others, in order to carry out their OperationMindf*ck plans.

My recent tweets about Discordia and thegame23, and replies
And so the #QHydra shows it's core, #QAnon, Im sure I have seen him in twitter call it a hunch, he might not be the one that post, but he is the one that calls the shots #WWG1WGA#MAGA#WWG1WGAscam – So this is a game for you? play with hope? 🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/1QOequBJLy
Denise’s Youtubian Privacy Video, removed 3rd April, 2018
YouTube provides the transcript from Denise’s video Youtubian Privacy below; I discussed this video on this post, which sadly has gone the way of some of the past inflammatory diatribes, taken down by the user and assigned to the garbage bin, less than a day after it’s initial broadcast. For those of you who read this post, here’s the transcript of the video. It’s a bit patchy, because it’s YouTube generated, but here it is. It’s better than nothing. I’m sure the original is saved on a few hard drives somewhere, but why waste download allowance, is the way I look at it. She’s just not worth the bits. Oh, and there’s a new gem fresh from production, which I present for your edification here. It contains important new theories about alt-left, alt-right and Alex Jones trolls, plus an interesting metaphor involving a provocative dress in a red-light district and Discord groups. Anyhow, enjoy the April 4th video; it’s an exciting production from Natural Orchid Crafts, called
Jason Goodman, Alex Jones, Jerome Corsi: Your Shill-Mob Army Will Not Take Us Down!
Oh, and let’s not forget Brian Birmingham, and Rick Ross, who are still very much part of Denise’s world, as they appear to be playing a pivotal goal too, according to her recent video, What is Going On in Youtubia:
Now, I know you’re probably needing to be reminded of who Brian Birmingham and Rick Alan Ross are again, what with your head going into meltdown mode trying to grasp the other ins and outs of the plot, so this video from 2010 should make it a lot clearer for you.
Not quite coming gelling yet? OK, this will make it much clearer. You’re welcome.
Update on Denise’s theory, posted on 8th April (oops video removed 40mins. after the stream, transcripts and live chat disabled too- pity, it was a doozy). It must have ended up in the twilight zone somewhere, or a parallel universe:
What, no transcript, and now no video?
Transcript of ‘Youtubian Privacy’ video, from ‘ Natural Orchid Crafts’ YouTube Channel (Denise Matteau) 2nd April, 2018.
0:00
we’ve had quite a serious eruption of
00:05
troll attack since you know rock and
00:12
defang go went public and actually lift
00:17
the bail those three channels you know
00:19
rock defang go and Nathan over at lift
00:23
the veil went public with the fact that
00:28
Jerome Corsi the famous dr. Corsi and
00:32
the Alex Jones Channel are apparently
00:37
sending fraudulent emails to people like
00:41
me I was a whistleblower on it but I
00:44
wasn’t the only one but I you know I was
00:47
the one that they went with because I
00:48
said go for it I mean are we ready
00:50
strolls and have been for quite a long
00:53
time and anyway you might say there’s no
01:01
such thing as privacy in YouTube and in
01:04
a way it does seem like to talk about
01:06
privacy in YouTube is a little bit of an
01:08
oxymoron this little video that I’m
01:12
making now is just a general look at
01:19
some of the basic rights that we can
01:22
assert against these trolls what is
01:26
going on in the last 24 hours since you
01:33
know rock first opened up the livestream
01:35
and then was followed by defang go and
01:37
then then lift the veil those three
01:40
began to really look closely at the way
01:44
that certain people have used the queue
01:47
postings to scam others now this is not
01:51
about queue or the original queue
01:54
phenomenon this is about a team of
02:00
charlatans fraudsters opportunists maybe
02:06
even at some level political extremists
02:10
we don’t know we’re still researching a
02:13
lot of
02:14
but the intimidation and takedown of
02:18
YouTube channels has not all been coming
02:22
from the corporation of YouTube and
02:24
Google a lot of it has been coming from
02:26
an organized gang of trolls one of the
02:31
things that they’re doing is copying
02:34
material and publishing it in other
02:37
websites and you might say well that’s
02:40
okay well actually depending on the kind
02:45
of license you place on your ute on your
02:50
video you enable most kinds of public
02:55
display and YouTube does not block
02:58
anybody from seeing a video so even the
03:00
trolls who are doing the attacks are
03:03
able to see this video it’s not like
03:05
Facebook the trolls are setting up
03:10
secret pages in Facebook blocking out
03:14
their targets and pulling material from
03:19
here I I’m not going to try to answer
03:28
chat I already answered some of this in
03:29
comments and I don’t want to be
03:31
distracted so I apologize I you know
03:34
there was a mixup there was a mixup in
03:37
my email some similarity of names made
03:40
me think somebody was somebody else
03:42
I’ve apologized it straightened out
03:45
don’t worry about it what’s going on now
03:49
is chatters let me just put that out of
03:54
the way so I don’t know let’s find the
03:56
on I’m just not gonna there okay
03:58
I put chat hidden so I if I can’t see
04:01
your chat and it’s no offense I’m trying
04:03
to stay focused we have the right to
04:09
have this kind of show that I put on
04:11
which is not a news show it’s an
04:14
informal sowing get together it’s a very
04:17
creative it’s a very creative use of
04:21
YouTube we are not concocting little
04:25
troll wars against other pee
04:28
we defend it by using the YouTube
04:32
provided tool of keeping people out of
04:39
chat so that those who want to talk
04:41
about things in a friendly manner and
04:44
stay on topic with whatever it is can do
04:47
so without having these vicious
04:52
predatory trolls coming in and there’s
04:59
nothing wrong with that you have the
05:01
right to decide just how big and
05:03
expensive you want your chat to be
05:07
nobody has the absolute right to go into
05:10
any producers material the copyright is
05:16
how we can control where things get
05:19
published now you have to assume that
05:21
anything that appears in a video is
05:23
going to be published anywhere they want
05:25
it unless you put it under privacy and
05:29
all that other stuff which I don’t the
05:32
chats are closed at the end of the show
05:36
most of the time and I have to wait
05:38
about five minutes to do that I spoke
05:43
with an attorney after discovering that
05:46
several people who were recently booted
05:50
out of my chat have been copying the
05:54
chance and republishing them somewhere
05:58
else
05:59
so I spoke to the same attorney who’s
06:02
helping me with the email issue and he
06:06
said it’s it’s included under copyright
06:12
because YouTube does not give permission
06:17
to copy these things I files I can file
06:22
copyright complaints at court if
06:26
necessary at this point we’re just
06:28
putting together how far this has gone I
06:31
can file those complaints as the
06:33
producer of the video who essentially
06:35
owns the channel YouTube owns YouTube
06:40
but
06:41
while we’re here we own the rights to
06:45
our channel as far as other people are
06:48
concerned if you are commenting and you
06:55
discover that your comments including
06:57
your identity is being copied
07:02
individually when you discover that it’s
07:06
being published somewhere outside of
07:08
YouTube you can file a copyright or
07:12
privacy or a harassment complaint
07:15
against that person who’s doing that and
07:22
you can take them to court because they
07:27
are trying to rob you of your right to
07:31
use YouTube YouTube is not kicking you
07:36
out YouTube is not taking your right to
07:39
use the youtubes away these trolls are
07:44
and if they’re angry because I blocked
07:47
them from the chat they’re free to go
07:50
and speak their anger anywhere they want
07:52
but when they start stalking people and
07:54
this is stalking you go ahead and make
07:56
fun of me for using that word alright
08:02
there’s gonna be a lot of that you’re
08:04
gonna hear a lot of people saying I’m
08:06
crazy because I amend that when somebody
08:08
copies stuff and puts it outside in
08:12
another place and writes an article
08:15
they’re saying I’m crazy because I think
08:19
these people are Charles and that is a
08:20
troll doing that you know on the one
08:24
hand I don’t have to worry anyone who
08:25
reads of that sees how stupid they are
08:27
but on the other hand I do have a very
08:32
strong claim and a financial claim
08:37
against these people for interfering
08:42
with my business my subscribers are my
08:45
customers and if you think
08:51
that I don’t have a legal basis against
08:58
everyone who goes beyond expressing an
09:01
opinion and starts putting up those
09:05
pages in Facebook and those other blogs
09:09
that are popping up elsewhere and you
09:11
think I can’t see them we are going to
09:19
organize a legal battle that is going to
09:25
let every and you put them in an article
09:29
somewhere else this is not a free speech
09:35
every single one of these people and I
09:40
counted at least a dozen every single
09:47
one of them has a right to file a
09:49
separate complaint in court if necessary
09:56
and you go ahead and laugh especially
10:00
those of you who use nicknames and think
10:03
that it’s not going to be easy to find
10:06
out exactly who you really are
10:14
we are fighting back
10:17
we are fighting back hard that is why I
10:21
don’t back down and that is why I speak
10:24
about these things because some of you
10:29
trolls were doing this to my business
10:32
and my customers before I ever said a
10:35
single controversial word
10:46
so I want to encourage everybody if you
10:51
suddenly find yourself afraid to go into
10:54
chats in different channels because you
10:58
know that some of these people are doing
11:00
this or they threatened to do this when
11:03
you find out where they publishing your
11:05
stuff and they can’t hide it from
11:08
everybody go and take a screen print and
11:13
file a complaint and eventually we are
11:19
going to start grouping together I don’t
11:22
mean eventually really right now several
11:25
of us are already talking about it I had
11:27
an attorney listening to you know rocks
11:30
livestream not against you in Iraq but
11:37
just listening in generals like what’s
11:38
going on with this Corsi stuff Corsi
11:41
it’s really you you don’t know how deep
11:45
the rabbit-hole with coarse egos and
11:47
it’s all financial and I want to tell
11:50
you something the minute you mess with
11:51
money it doesn’t matter I’ve had people
11:54
tell me that my quilts that start at one
11:57
hundred and seventy five dollars each
11:59
are too cheap I know that but it doesn’t
12:08
matter because you add up a few quilts
12:10
at one hundred and seventy-five dollars
12:11
each and I show proof to a judge in any
12:15
county in the United States that I’m
12:18
losing quilt sales at one hundred and
12:21
seventy-five dollars a pop that’s for
12:23
the small quilt by the way three hundred
12:25
and fifty dollars for most of them
12:27
because people keep ordering the big
12:28
ones so I show that you have cost me ten
12:34
quilts it’ll more than pay for the trip
12:38
and by the way I was talking to somebody
12:42
just recently about maybe I do need to
12:46
take a road trip so maybe what I’m gonna
12:48
do is organize my road trip county by
12:51
county and learn the laws of all across
12:55
this wonderful nation and start showing
12:57
up county by county mmm
13:03
because once we get a few of your legal
13:08
names and you don’t all hide them we’re
13:14
going to start filing those lawsuits we
13:19
are going to defend our right to free
13:23
speech in YouTube if YouTube takes
13:26
people down and there’s a battle with
13:28
YouTube there’s a complaint form and
13:29
then appeal form and everything else
13:31
fine but when you’re taking us down you
13:34
individual little trolls are taking
13:37
channels down by scaring people with
13:42
tactics that go far beyond a report to
13:45
YouTube when you’re trying to take
13:48
people down by taking their private
13:51
information and putting it in blogs and
13:53
putting it in Facebook and lying
13:58
slandering and labelling when you’re
14:00
doing that to destroy a business and
14:03
you’re destroying many businesses
14:08
because I understand that they’re going
14:11
after stony stones channel just because
14:13
he had me on as a guest
14:15
now you’re destroying a family business
14:18
up there one of you who made that
14:24
Facebook page to attack him you went on
14:29
about how he has some kind of high tech
14:32
well you know something if you know that
14:34
the guy has a lot of high-tech stuff
14:36
devoted to his channel then you’re
14:40
dealing with a high amount of financial
14:43
damage that you’re doing to that man and
14:48
he can sue you
14:54
you know these rights that we have to
14:57
express ourselves they’re not all
15:00
defended by the Second Amendment a lot
15:02
of them are defended by the right to
15:05
face the accusers and take them to a
15:07
court of law
15:08
and say you do not have a right to
15:10
intimidate or extort you don’t have the
15:19
right to intimidate people and it’s
15:24
going to stop and that’s what I have to
15:27
say I will open up the chat
15:29
I hope the wrenches have been busy and I
15:32
apologize to anyone that feels offended
15:36
by my tone but we are living in
15:40
difficult times and somebody has to do
15:43
it somebody has to stand up to these
15:45
people and I don’t want to do this in my
15:49
regular show I need to start doing this
15:51
outside the regular show so that we can
15:54
get back to where we want to be we’re
15:56
not going to give these people the right
16:00
to destroy channels they don’t have that
16:03
right and God bless you all and thank
16:07
you so much now let me just open up chat
16:13
there hmm it’s not showing
16:32
oh there it is okay
16:38
hey Denise Jonnie on I’m sorry you know
16:44
what I thought that that person was
16:47
taking down her own comments and then
16:50
sending me an email to make me think
16:53
something was going on and I just left
16:57
it alone that’s okay just don’t worry
16:59
about really don’t argue with these
17:01
people because if you argue with them I
17:05
can’t file a complaint like this see
17:08
every time you argue with them I mean
17:12
like in chit chat back and forth they
17:15
delete what they said and they leave
17:17
what you say and then I can’t file a
17:22
complaint saying look what’s going on
17:23
because it changes but if you just
17:26
ignore them and if it if like I say they
17:30
start doing things like they’re copying
17:31
people’s material and putting them in
17:34
these places out there we are gonna
17:36
write a letter to Facebook about it
17:38
because Facebook is getting involved in
17:41
intimidating youtubers well the thing is
17:43
Facebook has been losing people to
17:46
YouTube a lot of the people I’m pretty
17:48
sure a lot of my channel followers are
17:51
people who used to do Facebook and gave
17:54
up on it and came over here and now
17:58
Facebook is gonna allow this to go on
18:02
I’m gonna be contacting those people
18:06
with that lawsuit I’m gonna look into
18:11
that because Facebook doesn’t have the
18:14
right to to be used as an attack zone
18:17
against youtubers excuse me I have that
18:22
stupid allergy hmm but I mean it’s hard
18:32
because you get so angry as you know I
18:34
do you want to speak to them Delphi I
18:38
don’t want you here oh I need to that’s
18:42
the thing a lot of people are coming in
18:44
here because they’re not blocked here
18:45
and they were
18:46
blocked on the old channel that person
18:49
here let me see yeah I can’t block her
18:55
out somebody with a wrench block her out
18:59
she’s sending me some really nasty
19:02
emails and I don’t even I don’t even
19:05
care
19:08
thank you I have plenty of email if she
19:12
tries to file a complaint against me for
19:15
putting her out I have a whole bunch of
19:18
email stuff that was sent to me or
19:22
mentioned and I have email from her
19:26
proving that it’s justified and I’m just
19:30
simply you know I mean she’s been
19:36
mounting attacks in other channels and
19:39
and it’s this is going to stop this is
19:43
people like that don’t have the right to
19:45
run people out of business
19:51
up my chat went away again yeah come on
20:03
there is mm-hmm
20:07
[Music]
20:11
yeah I think what’s going to happen is
20:14
we’re going to continue to sort of
20:15
shrink in a way but at the same time
20:18
when people understand the reason for
20:20
this and it’s it’s going to level off
20:23
this Corsi thing is is making things
20:26
very ugly this Corsi thing is making
20:33
things ugly because it’s a lot of money
20:35
involved if you go to I think it’s
20:40
defang go but it might be you know rocks
20:42
video read through the comments there
20:47
are a couple of people who’ve done some
20:50
wonderful work and they apparently we’re
20:54
doing this before I got those emails and
20:57
spoke to you in Iraq
20:59
Corsi was involved in several huge
21:04
financial embezzlement scams under like
21:11
10 20 years ago and he got away with one
21:15
of them by taking all the money he had
21:18
scammed from people and it was written
21:21
this is a matter of court record
21:23
okay this also this stuff was fought out
21:25
in court and that’s how they’re finding
21:27
this stuff he was sued by a whole bunch
21:30
of people that he ran an investment scam
21:32
and he ran with a lot of political
21:37
people starting in 1968 okay he is older
21:41
than me he’s in his 70s and what he did
21:44
in 1968 was he wrote a book about how to
21:52
interact with these politics of not oh
21:55
you know the big demonstrations if some
21:57
of you remember some of us remember and
22:00
others maybe I don’t know if they teach
22:01
about it in school or not I have no idea
22:04
what they teach but 1968 was a big year
22:07
for big demonstrations outside the
22:09
Democratic convention it was like the
22:13
grandparents of
22:14
Tifa you know and he apparently wrote a
22:18
book that was essentially about how the
22:22
government could control these things do
22:28
you see where this is leading but
22:30
alongside his political strategy and you
22:36
know being hired by the government
22:38
essentially or some part of the
22:40
government to control opposition deep
22:43
state really he he did steal a lot of
22:50
money from a lot of people and he was
22:54
sued over it and there was decision that
23:00
the money was to be paid back so that
23:02
decision was out there now that I’m
23:07
referring to a lot of material that was
23:10
put in the comments in defang goes
23:13
underneath the fan goes video that he
23:17
published last night this is what this
23:23
is April 2nd yeah so if you look at his
23:25
videos that were published April 1st in
23:28
April 2nd it was like midnight so I
23:30
don’t know what date is on it but you’ll
23:32
see it it’s the one about Corsi and the
23:34
emails same thing with you in Iraq the
23:40
other thing about Corsi that’s coming up
23:42
and this is something I want to start
23:44
digging into and encourage people to
23:46
start looking at
23:48
apparently he’s part of something called
23:52
something national CNP and it has to do
23:59
with the Knights of Malta because I
24:01
remember a lot of people were calling
24:03
him a Zionist but I remember him
24:07
speaking of himself as being Catholic
24:09
and I thought it was kind of odd because
24:13
of certain things I just thought it was
24:15
odd but the Knights of Malta
24:21
are a highly secretive group look up the
24:27
the order of malta or the knights of
24:30
malta in wikipedia and they’ve got a
24:32
website and they’re international and
24:36
they are basically they’re older than
24:38
the United States and they do not have
24:41
any respect for individual national
24:43
governments it’s a very strange group of
24:47
people and it’s also a highly
24:51
conspiratorial it’s the kind of
24:53
organization that creates and carries
24:56
out conspiracies I mean some guys really
25:01
just like to do that and they join these
25:03
groups but that is a group to look at
25:09
rush limbaugh was supposedly a member of
25:11
that group which I thought was
25:13
interesting and I don’t know how it
25:18
relates to other things but we have a
25:21
lot of political investigation to go
25:23
into and we don’t need to be discouraged
25:26
at all these trolls do not have the
25:29
right to silence people just because
25:31
they’re too ignorant to care or maybe
25:38
they just do have they do know what
25:41
they’re doing in there they’ve got
25:42
they’re on the other side of this it
25:43
doesn’t matter they don’t have the right
25:45
to silence us they have the right to
25:47
make their own videos and say whatever
25:48
they want but they don’t have the right
25:52
to destroy our channels and so that’s
25:57
that I’ve got to get I’ve got sewing to
26:00
doing I’ve got to get to that and just
26:02
relax and God bless you all
26:04
thank you for being here my shrinking
26:07
subscriber base we’re going to bounce
26:11
back though we really are
26:26
well over in out god bless you

Ok, so Christmas is over, and the cheesy decorations are down. The extra pounds and broken resolutions are all that remain. But you can still loll about on the weekends in your pyjamas, and if it looks like it’s not going to stop raining ’till June, never fear, ‘cos the internet’s here.
When I was a kid ‘Now, Voyager’was one of my favourite ‘girl’ movies, the sort of movie I used to always miss the first few minutes of on Saturday afternoons, when my big brother used to try to switch the station on me, and I used to silently hope there wasn’t a cowboy movie on the other station. The heroine in this one had an even tougher time with her mum than I had with my brother, and I was delighted with the twists and turns of the story, which is shown in full below. Leave your brain in the off position and enjoy the afternoon matinee. As for you lads out there, leave that button alone. Click here to see movie

Favourite moment: “Don’t ask for the moon – we have the stars.”
I think Scott Erb makes a good point here, that you don’t have to be Adolf Hitler to be a Fascist, you just have to believe that the state always knows best, and that what the state and its media vehicles tell you is always the truth, and you are well on the way to helping bring about a Fascist society. Erb discusses also how the advertising industry uses similar propaganda and manipulation devices to create new desires in people. He puts it so much better than me, so read on……
The term ‘fascism’ is one of those words that isn’t used in polite company. The images of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis mean that the term is rarely taken seriously, often used to just insult someone, like in a recent internet debate when one guy labeled for no apparent reason geologists concerned about peak oil as “fascists.” And, while Marxian theory and socialism remain acceptable despite the horrors done in their name, fascism is seen as the nefarious ideology, defeated and evil.
As someone who is most decidedly anti-fascist, I find that a dangerous state of mind. Fascism is not only real, but has many forms. It is not inherently anti-semitic, and in fact can appear quite benign. I won’t go into the academic debates about the meaning of the term, though wikipedia gives a good summary. They are concerned with political fascism, which is primarily a nationalist ideology which…
