How Can They Tell?

 



Apropos 'The President is in Africa' and Gore Vidal's response 'How can they tell?'

Melvyn Bragg Interviews Gore Vidal - Southbank Show - 2008





It's a wonderful conversation although for me, there are two exceptional moments in this 2008 Southbank production. Baron Bragg says he saw the US President was in Africa on TV that morning but Gore Vidal interrupts his story.


'How can they tell?'


Lord Melvyn Bragg tries not to laugh louder and it's worth paying attention.


I'll come back to the second moment a little later.


Took ages to find out the word I couldn't understand. I find listening very difficult in any language and generally respond to body language more than words. That's why podcasts are the best way of learning for me. Nothing to distract my eyes. In any case Gore Vidal is referring to Torquemada. A name I've never heard before.


What's striking is the comparison with Bobby Kennedy and saying it on camera. This is why Gore Vidal was a Greek among Romans. He said what he thought even if it took its toll, as he did with the Salzburgers who own the New York Times, now even worse and inarguably a propaganda rag. GV was an insider and knew the Kennedys so it's an exceptional piece of intel as we're now presented with RFK Jr who has done an excellent job on the Covid scamdemic only to declare his unfailing support for Zionism despite Ben Gurion's role as the highest authority (he reported to the next level up) for initiating JFK's and by extension RFK's assassination. To understand all that do a search on JFK + PERMINDEX then look at the correspondence between JFK and Ben Gurion on Dimona. JFK was adamant that Israel would have no nukes and that decision cost him his life.


Don't get me wrong. JFK upset everyone you could imagine (CIA, DoD and the FED etc) but the one thing nobody discusses is that he was bloodline and he chose to make the speech that went too far at the Waldorf Astoria which is Astor bloodline. They had to take him. He was doing everything he could to expose them. 




Another gem that I picked up from Gore is that his blind Senator grandfather was 33 Degree Mason and that it's common in bloodline families for one child to be clued up and another to have no idea. They are 5th Dan black belts in secrecy and most people haven't a clue.


I'm going to use this space to share a little more of what this video confirmed for me but only those who bother to check back on this post will know. I have no intention of embarrassing anyone, but the above video confirms my hypothesis and that's a confirmation that is mostly for my indulgence. I hope the future looks upon In Our Time as a very classy effort at asking difficult questions to answer about their lies. 


The credit goes to the man in the arena.

It's Only Climate If It Changes - If It Doesn't Change - It's Not Climate





I've yet to meet a Climate Panic-Janet who knows how much of the trace element CO2 is in the atmosphere. Anybody who thinks this Grand Solar minimum (I've waited a decade, I'm calling it this year/harsh winter big time) is a shocker needs to skate across the Thames or jump up and down killing thousands of red and black ants in the scorching but awesome summer of 1976. Yeah that's a lot of bad Karma there for me. I wouldn't even kill a cockroach these days if I can avoid it but it's too late right? Don't pass go, back to square one.

Some may recall that I'm authentically frugal in many things as I want to leave the lightest footprints when it's over but, I'm here to challenge anyone; if you think the BS from the toxic legacy media is sincere.. that's ignorance, but it's not ignorance that reigns. It's cowardice and that's how fear works on gentle humans or Hobbits as Tolkien called them. But we need one of you timid ones to stand up and walk with your back straight. So all can see that it can be done.



The price of silence over known liars is unacceptable. Let me bring the Suppuku sword so you can leave with dignity for your offspring who will still pay the price.

The X Files




The revelation of the method is both open and transparent, as well as plausibly deniable. 

The entertained to death crowd think its script gaffes and subscribe to coincidence theories.

Researchers see it as an opportunity to squeeze some more intel out of the info, just in case there's a small detail worth looking further into.

(That's A) Televised Mind - Fontaines D.C.








There's some comfort to be had when a track hits the spot of the Mindwipes™ who believe (they don't appear to be thinking) the pandemic, by any measure, is real.

Caveat: I suspect that a 2nd wave of whatever bioweapon is at play will be much more serious thus discrediting those of us who know that people are not falling dead in the streets as a real pandemic would indicate.

Matt Hancock Crying With Laughter - Piers Morgan Acting Too




We learned from Robbie Parker at Sandy Hook in 2012, that it doesn't matter how hard a crisis actor laughs; hypnotised TV consumers will justify it as grief. 

Piers plays part of the double-act here by pretending to take his emotions seriously when it's plain to see the Health Secretary Matt Hancock, is creased-up laughing at the notion of the second person to receive the Pfizer vaccine, William Shakespeare.

All the world is a stage?

Jack Hargreaves & Southern Television





By "us", I mean my siblings. A younger brother Alexander, and my older sister Maria (Marie-Elaine). 

I think they have both personalised their monikers now, so don't let me define how they like to be called. 

We children ("us") were born before the internet, and as kids if you wish, were often bored at the available options on Sunday for example, but even the weekdays and evenings could be tedious from a child's perspective. Uneventful if housebound.

Sunday was largely commerce-free (shops including supermarkets were closed), which isn't the same as commercial-free. 

The local TV station (Southern TV, TVS (subsequently Meridian) often broadcast perplexing Television content like Jack Hargreaves' Out of Town program about the countryside. 

Internally, we knew it wasn't designed to be boring but it does take aging to appreciate how "slow", can be imbued with more value than fast.

Unexpectedly, a nine-year-old or even an eleven-year-old wouldn't ordinarily be interested in fly fishing, or agrarian seasonal activity. 

It pleases me that I can revisit the "Out of Town" content on the internet, and reassess my somewhat immature, youthful reaction.

I'm still working on the 11:11, 555, 333, etc post. 

Update: Barry at the Waterloo Arms tells me Jack was a complete wanker.

Lord Mountbatten - Thames Television - Today Programme



In this interview, Mountbatten says he has no idea of television and how it works, yet in Brian Hoey's Mountbatten book he advises the author to be filmed a few inches above his head so the lines on the aging face are not visible. He said he learned this from his Hollywood friends. He and his new wife Edwina also honeymooned in Hollywood.

Mountbatten was best friends with Douglas Fairbanks Jr and so while it's clear he's arrogant and haughty in this follow up interview, it's also clear his obsession with staging events down to the smallest detail proves he knew exactly what he would be getting into when he made a 12 part Television series puff-piece about his life.

I Don't Understand American Grief





Politically it's to my advantage that Islamophobia is being taken seriously, and so this isn't going to make me many friends.

I watched this and I don't know how anyone could go on Television and not cry after their brother was murdered only hours before.

Maybe I just don't understand American grief but to be honest I don't want to either if it feels so synthetic, dry and scripted.

Anderson Cooper is a full on media weasel. I'm just saying.

The Rockford Files - Backlash of the Hunter




Actor James Garner died recently and I remembered that I felt warm towards his Rockford Files character from the days when I used to watch television as a child. He was more modest than most detectives and lived on the cheap as I recalled, so I downloaded the first series to see if it's the sort of thing I could relax to without thinking to much.


I watched the first episode from around 1974 last night and it was spectacularly badly-written with plot holes wider than a crack hookers spread, and characters that would do well in the yearly pantomime at the Southampton Gaumont. 


But still, it was kind of enjoying to watch and the guest star of this first episode is Lindsay Wagner, a stunning American babe from that period in the 70's when things were a lot less complicated than they are today and women were a lot slimmer. 


She now does new age spiritual retreats which I think is the perfect way for a beautiful lady to age gracefully and make a contribution. 


There's lots of episodes up on Youtube. 


Share the love.

Naughty LG Commercial for Big Screens




It's hard to tell if some of this isn't fully scripted but either way it's a flawlessly executed commercial. 

I love the ad but I generally can't go into a bar or restaurant that blast TV these days.

However hats off to LG for seeing this done properly.

Gore Vidal Censored by Television




The great Gore Vidal is for me one of the few whistle-blowers of his class. In this short clip he explains why he isn't allowed back on Television. If he was the dog and pony show called American politics would stand bare for what it is. A diversionary strategy.

American Ninja Warrior - Not All TV Is Evil





I'm horrified by the toxic corporate news media and violence on TV. They program people to tolerate as normal the unacceptable. For two years I've been pointing out that London, D.C, Tel Aviv and Saudi have been bleeding Syria dry, using Al Qaeda for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with promoting democracy.

Most people haven't noticed the media narrative changing in Syria because as long as their comfortable living is maintained what does it matter if MI6 and the CIA destabilized the country to let the psychopaths in and break it up.

However, I had the good fortune to watch more TV than I've seen in years a few nights ago and it was great fun. 

The series is called American Ninja Warrior and if we excuse the two douche bag hosts with botox driven commentary I was reminded that Americans can be among the best and most liked people in the world. All the contestants were fabulous and watching them going through their paces was good entertainment.

It's important to spot the poison on TV but equally it's only fair to point out when it does something right.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder - Berlin Alexanderplatz

 



I'm in to Rainer Werner Fassbinder's work now after spending fifteen hours watching this 1980 production. My only hope is I will get a chance to watch it again as it works unlike any other piece of art I have experienced. The two hour epilogue above is untypical of the first thirteen parts  and is a spoiler too so don't watch it unless like me you have a poor memory.

There's so much I could write about this including some very heavy synchronicity with people who I know in real life but there's an excellent review over here that if you're too impoverished to watch all of it, at least makes up for an intelligent essay by Ian Baruma. If you can't do the fifteen hours then the fifteen minutes is the least you can do to digest this wonderful piece of work.

C - Span Is A US Cable Television Station That Still Asks Questions




James Corbett does a show on C-Span, a channel I've often referred to for its refreshing interviews and content on Iran Contra etc.

The Below Average Representation The Corporate Media Portray Of The Human Experience



KPTV - FOX 12


Having a negative view of yourself and of humanity is a crucial part of the military industrial complex's propaganda to sell wars and have no feeling for others pain. Please enjoy your TV entertainment and avoid thinking about the extended responsibilities consuming toxic messages has on yourself and on your fellow humans.

I don't care who has sex with who or what as long as it is consensual but there's no need for this information in mass media programming. Enjoy the commercial break.

Breaking The North Korean Mind Control of The USA Media - HBO's The Newsroom





There's a seed of something unusual (and possibly divine) in the USA but its just a seed. It's not yet a sapling nor a tree, because if we really dig into the history of the US it has been raping the non European world and inflicting death, destruction and misery through force of arms and propping up its pampered peoples with a media lie that its prosperity comes from only hard work and innovation. Yes they are part of the story but nowhere near the whole picture.

As the smash hit new HBO series The Newsroom articulates. The first step in solving a problem is recognising there is one.

I put it to you that if you need HBO to tell you that you're never going to realise what the real problem is. Just a hunch. It's a nice scene but it stinks of worthy sentimentality that entertainment or a flickering screen is the way out of this mess. Throw your TV out.

Crying With The Onion



Sometimes humour isn't there to entertain us it's there to facilitate bearing the unbearable. What might not be obvious to the amused observer is how fake the presenters and the commercial breaks are to the person who doesn't watch Television. 

Should we really be laughing at the blowback of a music factory churning out the least desirable role models for our children possible? From the presenters to the celebrities to the commercials. Television is diseased.

All of this becomes extraordinarily crystal clear once TV is rejected in a persons life. I'd rather have a vagrant opposite me than listen to someone else's profit agenda spewing out. At least the vagrant is real.

Regrettably the only way that the United States can comment on the Western consumer models' sickness is with humour. The Onion, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are pretty much the only serious cultural commentary on commercialised politics, commercialised art and commercialised wars and one gets the impression that because it can only be tackled with comedy that many don't know how to take it seriously.

Göbekli Tepe Is Embarrassing The Smithsonian Over Stonehenge & Pyramids



Ancient Aliens has pretty much jumped the shark with Giorgio Tsoukalos now more memorable for his carefully contrived hair than science, as well as his absurd piece to camera one liners such as "If X therefore Extraterrestrials" for example "If cosmic pubic hair therefore extraterrestrials (pronounced EGG-TRA terrestrials as he needs to jam as much idiosyncratic mnemonics into his sock puppet lines as possible to prolong the fame.

However Ancient Aliens has done its job of carefully inserting a future meme of  'hell they been coming and going forever" just in case they turn up again shortly and a few elite institutions look like they have been holding back on us.

It's a bit like the Precog crime unit in Minority report where the job isn't to prevent murder but instead dampen any future public backlash. TV and Hollywood does this best. It's a Precog outrage unit.


In the mean time a dozen threaded and interweaving historical revisions are unravelling around the world as we speak, it's just that most of them aren't getting prime time like Ancient Aliens which adds fuel to the rumour mill of, is something alien in the offing? 

The entire para-history picture hangs together if we interrogate it hard enough such that the Göbekli Tepe ruins in Southern Turkey rewrite the fundamentals of ancient history right down to how long the spurious time it took for language and the neocortex to evolve. In the mean time it's probably best to take a pointillist approach rather than the oil landscape route as the Göbekli Tepe ruins are older than Stonehenge and the Cheops Pyramid. If that doesn't raise a few questions for the inquiring mind to dash of a letter of protest to The iniquitous Smithsonian Institute then stick to the Ancient Aliens and their Eggstraterrestrials along with 'millions around the world'. 

It's a good start but a little stage managed for the connoisseur.
