Give Your Current Human Life Back!!

I just experienced one of the top three or four all-time greatest performances of live art and culture and high intellect ever.

It was the October 2018, Sydney performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 performed by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra under Edo de Waart - together with the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and the soloists Amanda Majeski (soprano), Caitlin Hulcup (mezzo-soprano), Kim Begley (tenor), and Shenyang (bass-baritone).

Of the other 'top of all time' are of course, Nureyev's Casse Noisette with Merle Park circa 1968, Maya Plisetskaya's Odile (Black Swan) and whatever other obscure performance the grande aficionados will include that must always be included as that 'mystery' item.

There is no possible way you will ever get a better, more self-assured and confident rendering by a live orchestra of this greatest of master-works.

You can - if you are also one of these 'high art and culture' types - watch the performance here:

It's about an hour and something to get through, and you need a good beer (thanks Hakim...) and maybe a clear starry sky to look up into as you experience the mind of God at work. 

And if you haven't got that sort of time, and even if you do and watch the thing and don't get it - hand your life back in to wherever you stole it from! If you ever wanted to know what you are doing here on this planet, follow the link above, and imbibe deeply.  

Abdul al-Ziphr - The Slave of No One

This wine-drenched Christmas-tide we spent a good few recent evenings with a certain Saudi Prince-ling (who shall remain nameless) indulging the wicked Western Jesus culture of wine drinking - although he (the Prince-ling) refrained, of course, being more than adequately inebriated on money and power.

I thought he was being the typical smart-alec rich person, with this silly plastic Swatch item on his wrist, until he casually remarked that it was made entirely of a single piece of corundum crystal - and so I took a second look.

Visually, in fact, it's quite a nice piece... On second glance I realized it was much better looking than your average Swatch watch. 

It was of course, the latest Hublot Unico Red Ruby - lab-grown crystalline aluminium oxide mixed with chromium: ...IE., a ruby. A whole solid ruby casing for the Swiss watch mechanism.

And we are a little like this ourselves on this Blogspot - not exactly what everything at first appears.

You see, the matter one has to be careful of these days, is not to expose things, formats, details, even style, in the open public channels, because unscrupulous and misguided people just plain steal what you are doing whole-cloth and then replicate it in the exact same format but pushed as if it were a viral phenomenon - thereby damaging what you are actually doing by not being able to provide or to carry forward on the substance. 

So, for those of you are relatively new to these pages, we do not say everything here, and nor do we really explain what we are doing precisely - but only offer a few directions. 

As far as the Saudi poker advances thing is concerned, those who have registered formally, get directed to private web-sites and web addresses which cover what is going on in detail.

Lanique is a very Arabic Damask and Taif rose-essence liqueur...

We're operating in a big - nay, a HUGE market space. It's not just that there are 2 billion Muslims who are allowed to play this Baloot game and its money-prizes format, but the whole entire Western casino business would like in... ...and can't get in. And not to mention that what they would really like is to be able to replicate the staking advances process that is inherent to the Gulf B aloot championships, and be able to apply it to the many more billions of Western poker players.

So, don't mistake where you are, and what you are reading...

In The Money!

Ah well, accidental good timing... Well, there is just nothing like it, really. No amount of 'genius' financial logic and thinking will ever beat 'good timing.'

Feeling that 'charter the private jet' feeling...

I have no particular reason to have literally picked the actual bottom of the digital crypto-currency market last month. The market had been nothing but falling knives for weeks and months, ever since hitting the ATH of more or less twenty thousand USD a while back - in fact, on December 17, 2017.

Because of this poker staking ('buy in') advances thing we're running right now, we bought a small chunk of Bitcoin at $3,000.

I've been extremely specific about using digital crypto-currencies as bridges for on-line transactions of exotic, mostly digital 'work' and not trying to invest in them or deal in them as investing commodities as such. And so, booking some kind of profit right now doesn't necessarily mean anything compared to the objective of achieving expanded digital networks and the developing of digital trading or things using crypto-currencies.

Of course, however, one would be rather miserly to fail to allow a fulsome commitment to carousing and wassailing this particular Christmas!! 

'Tycoon Tan's' baked crab (Hong Kong eating place)

Biting The Tax Apple...

PEOPLE DO NOT BELIEVE IN IDEAS, THEY BELIEVE IN POWER

There is no 'apple' in the Book of Genesis, okay. We've already talked about that.

But there also, is no 'Apple' on the US taxpayer register. Not really. But you can 'bite' Apple if you are willing to 'do certain things.'

I think I must tread carefully here.

This is the stuff of Bond movies...

Silk Road oasis 'village.' A veritable 'Garden of Eden' to some;
Eden is a relative 'place.'

You see, what do corporations as large as Apple - do with all of that tax dollar allocation, which they never hand over to the government as actual taxes?

Do they organize themselves and conspire to have a shadow government that they control, against the legitimate legacy 'government' we all believed we were pledging our faith and allegiance to?

The human condition...

No one at the top of these organizations would be so bold, would they?

Now here is the key to following how humans function as groups:

People do not believe in ideas, they believe in power.

There is no known 'bridge' between static mathematics, in their pure 'idea' forms, and material action and motion. Numbers do not move off the page by themselves, nor do shapes, or volumes, but more importantly, not a single 'idea' converts itself into the action and motion of any physical object out in the world we can see; and nor does it even transfer itself by itself, or transform itself from an idea, to a real material thing.

And this is the principle reason people viscerally dismiss ideas, and are enthralled with action in front of their eyes. 

They might not openly admit it, but they don't believe in ideas. And they will even deny that they dismiss ideas. ...But they dismiss ideas.

Ideas - numbers, shapes, physics - none of these have emotion contained literally in them as an actual part of them. Humans have emotions; and so you can see, that there is a stark difference in nature between humans and ideas. 

Dostoevsky and Sundar Pichai

Okay so I've been shoving this joke around recently, that I didn't know who or what a 'Sundar Pichai' was - so I 'Googled' it and came up with a picture of an idiot.

As you all know, one of the whinges Congress just had about Google - which they voiced to Sundar Pichai, the current CEO of Google LLC - was that Google was a politically-biased organisation that spun searches in an anti-Right Wing manner: by example, if you 'Googled' 'idiot' it gives you pages of pics of Donald Trump. 

I love Google, I use Google a lot. But it is rubbish. That is, it should be so much more but it isn't.

The androgynous look, was around back in the
day of Leon Bakst and Diaghilev -
absolutely nothing about it is new at all...

You see, for me, this thing about political spin is nasty enough but that is just froth and bubble compared to the hard inner kernel of sheer illiteracy and ignorance that has been allowed to masquerade for too long as 'orthodoxy' and even 'academic knowledge.'

It is a waste of time pointing out the many glaring mathematics and science errors and shocking falsehoods all over Google searches and of course, certainly in Wikipedia in particular (as one of the first line/first page results almost always) - even today's mainstream academia will in fact not accept that they are wildly wrong on a bunch of things... They want the position, and they will cling onto it and they will tell lies. Period. ...Waste of time contending there.

But the most problematic failure of Google is that they are run by illiterate and ignorant people of absolutely zero discernible culture whatsoever.

If you 'Googled' 'idiot' what you ought to get somewhere - at least somewhere close to the top - is Dostoevsky's book 'The Idiot;' a book in which you will find the sentence 'beauty will save the world.'

These people who are running a lot of matters at the moment, pushing themselves to the head of the social pack, seemingly dominating capital and finance, are not mere idiots - they are liars, thieves, ignorant people, illiterate, boring, and they are venomous in what they have done to the minds of young people, and what they are still doing to them. They are causing a road-block to the upward progress of Mankind.

You can 'go around' this road-block, and you need to. They will lead you and themselves into a calamity and they're heading there very fast. Faster than people suppose.

PS (But you watch, now that I've mentioned this, you will see Dostoevsky creep up the results list a little...)

Busy Shots

Well I mean really busy backgrounds in shots.

When I go to see a Bond movie, I go to see the Walther PPK, or the tux, or the jet-pack, or the Aston Martin, or the Bond-girl, or the glossy lipstick red undersides of her Louboutins, or the villain. I don't want to go and see some urban householder's interior design concepts, 'adorning' the set as well. 

The concept of FOUR objects for your eye to fall
on and to send to your brain to think about - the
shot is 'busy,' but not really...

I don't need to see that the actress is so thin that her arms literally compete with the fake pampas grass-tree on top of the never-used kitchenette. Or that she is so short that the armchair back is at head-height when she climbs onto it - so that, later on in the scene, she needs to literally sit astride the chair back! ...Just to be in frame of the other character in the shot.

We built long plywood runways for Mel Gibson in 'Year of Living Dangerously' to accommodate his walking into the ballroom with Sigourney Weaver.

This also seems busy - but again, it isn't.
It's a composed arrangement from a Spanish brandy advert.

In the last article here you will note that Diana Widmaier Picasso was one of only four torsos in camera shot. This photograph is a lesson in human subject photography. It has everything: subject, object, alternative perspective, and the abstract as also a representative 'other' human subject - and with even greater potential depth to that last element than all the rest.

Last night, the television was so boring, that I was avidly looking forward to the Geminid Meteor Shower - and, not letting me down, Nature also provided a lightning storm with limited clouds at the same time. We had thunder, lightning, meteors, and flying Pterodactyls. Okay, we didn't have the Pterodactyls. Although we might have had those but I fell asleep at some point in the hammock.

What Is Gold...

You know, what I really want to do, is just show a series of well-composed photographic shots. For me, I find that even the rich studios making movies for Netflix and mainstream Hollywood, are apparently not capable of finding camera directors and production designers who know a single thing about why human beings are attracted to visual images and stories told through the visual media.

I was watching through - I stopped following it properly almost within seconds - this new production titled 'A Simple Favor,' and the whole thing was made by an amateur; if you ask me.

Great place, what the hell are we going to show, though

You see, whoever made the movie has an ambition to present, to show visually, one thing - which is namely, these 'motifs' about the upper middle classes, maybe even the elite; all kinds of images and more-or-less memex concepts and style object/icons particularly to do with male-centric 'success'-related culture. Underlying the narrative themes is a twisted political hypothesis about gender...

Yeah... Boringly, we have an apparent female plotting and committing, and then failing, to get away with a murder for gain and materialistic objectives. How original and so stunningly confronting to our attitudes...

Not.

I say 'apparently' because this leads me onto another (live performance) art form I recently sat through - this time the 'high-brow' cultural disquisition in actual practice, of operatic singing.

Now it's no big deal for European high brow people this whole thing about gender-swapping or gender vagueness or gender uncertainty - Edward De Vere's plays are filled with the kind of thing, so to the writing of Virginia Woolf, and the most famous theatrical Impresario of all time - Diaghilev - had many friends of the 'uncertain gender' kind.

I can tell you that it is well known in the world of operatic singing for there to have been lead singers and stage performers said to be male, who were not, or female, who were not.

But today, in a world that makes much of 'honesty,' I think it would be somewhat of a shock that mainstream opera and classical singing production companies are pushing 'stars' - literally the lead sopranos - around the world, who are in fact men or transgendered.

I am not going to say who is, in the current season of opera performance around the world.

But suffice for me to advise you, that there are, some.

But back to the film shot composition matter - these idiots who are making this run of modern era rubbish (and there have always been the crowd that does it) do not understand a lot of basics; and it just won't do to say 'oh they intend to do it this way.' No, they don't. Because the movies are failing at the sales counters.

They are failing to make money. And yes, you can go full Gonzo and insist that this also means they are so smart they actually intend to fail because it is consistent with their intellectual objectives of 'art.'

So in any case, what I will be doing over coming articles, is attempt to showcase a few photographs and images I think demonstrate what a good shot is like. I'm not going to go into the technical details because hell, others will have a lot more technical detail than I can enunciate hereabouts. 

Here is a pic of Diana Widmaier Picasso, the grand-daughter of Pablo Picasso. You can see she has the sensitivity to the composition of shots, that too many of today's camera directors simply do not have. 

She is also a proponent of gold-backed currency.

If The English Had Stewart Kings Today

What would a modern-day 'Stewart' look like, or be like?

There were, of course more than fifty recognized claimants to the throne on the disappearance of James II - though these were not specifically sons of James of course! Nor of his brother Charles II.

When Henry Sydney and Thomas Osbourne brought in the House of Orange-Nassau, those Stewarts who I suppose 'missed out' turned to other matters - piracy, theater, all kinds of things.

Chivas Regal 'war-room' and Savile Row

Most of these people had very rare British surnames, and often those names are composites of French place-names combined with English or Welsh or Scots or Irish phrases and occasionally names.

One of these families is the 'Coverdale' family who were basically in everything from tea shipping and merchant trading as well as stage and theatrical productions and music and dance. Music, of course, especially of the more formal kind, was not a cheap business, as the paper stock used was the first grade even before bank certificate paper.

Here we have David Coverdale, originally from Yorkshire, more or less seventy years old now - whose grandmother was the leader of a Dance and Music troupe in Scotland and England known as 'Clara Coverdale's Nine Dancing Dots...'

The Coverdales are one of the legitimate lines to the Stewart Kings, also being closely related to Louis the 'Sun King' of France.

What kind of place might Paris be today, with David, King of France and Britain leading the band there, instead of 'Macron...' 

Waiting For A Star To Fall

The modern politician on the whole is a soulless individual. There is no scope to give ground on this description for someone like a Macron, for instance.

He is presiding over the total destruction of the Eternal City of Love and Romance...

No bad thing can come from the beautiful...

There are people in the internet world who believe he literally is some kind of 'End of All Time' figure in that speculative narrative about the future. Maybe Nostradamus spoke of him, maybe the Book of Revelation! I don't know...

You see, I think we've talked about this before - this 'chateau' in Belgium specifically, the one with the dome ceiling 'of a thousand points of light.' The Chateau des Amerois. People are of course, mixing up a lot of modern urban mythology about the Rothschilds and so on, and maintain that this chateau is where the 'elect' of a particular European Satanic cult conduct various gruesome blood-sports and then induct some acolyte of theirs, whom they then put into worldly power at their malevolent and diabolical service. Macron was a protege of the Rothschild (French branch) banking group.

But you see, that which has fallen is not a star any longer, and if it falls having lost its 'astral effulgence' it no longer has the 'spirit power' of a star. 

There are two distinct types of 'star' coming down to Earth. One comes without ever having lost anything - it comes on a deliberate purpose, on a mission...

  

Make A Wish II

Don't make any mistake, this is the place where magic is spoken about.

Ancient Egypt - although in fact the term was also applied at the height of the Pharaohs - to Byblos, and the city of Thebes - that whole empire was known as 'Al Khemet;' the lands of the greatest sorcerers. 

Christmas gifts from the East...

As you already know, the magician never shows his tricks - so a warm welcome to all those new folk who have responded to our little marketing stunt elsewhere re the poker staking advances project. But as little said about that for the present the better; let's not disclose too much there for the moment. Suffice to say, once you think about it you will realize that once you show where money is actually flowing, every man and his proverbial dog makes for that stream!

...And muddies it for you. And then you won't be able to see the diamonds or the emeralds or rubies in the clear stream as before.

Magic - real magic - is done by very few people on Earth at any given time. What you see everywhere are rumors about it and speculations dressed up as knowledge and these have even become actual ritualistic practices with names and labels about the bodies of belief entailed to the extent that at least in the wider and factually relatively ignorant community of ordinary people, these labels have become the very things they parodied or aspired to being from the outside. ...Leaving the real stream to be clear all on its own somewhere else.

This is a video made for the Arabian Oud company, and it very cleverly parodies some words and phrases from Islamic scholarly traditions - it talks about 'ideas,' 'lack of understanding' 'hidden depths of knowledge' and how those deeply learned are the only ones able to penetrate the mysteries and secrets even though all can experience the power.

This Yule-Tide...

I was watching the rather infamous 'Red Ice TV' this morning - which had been completely banned from YT for a while, and then 'shadow banned' but it's back up and running now with its particular version of the Viking or 'Scandi-White Supremacy' thing.

Of course I actually watch everything, all kinds of nonsense from total complete utter insane nonsense to just the fairly mild forms of nonsense and everything else in between.

If you are the kind of person who gets caught up in one, or a few, only, of any particular 'brands' of truth then I'm afraid the internet could do you more harm than it can just entertain or enlighten you. 

Kim Novak in 'Bell, Book and Candle.'

Anyway to get directly to the point, I watched one video Red Ice presented about the festival of 'Yule,' in which they asserted, virtually without any kind of doubts of themselves and what they were saying, that 'yule' is a Norse folkloric thing. And they jumped to all sorts of related other Winter Solstice items of folklore like Lussinatta (St Lucy's Day, 13 December) and a bunch of other stuff. 

'Yule' is an enormously ancient word and it is not a Scandinavian word nor is it of Nordic origin.

It occurs in the Book of Daniel in the original Aramaic in the phrase 'Attik Yo-El-min:' 'the one who is Ancient of Days.' Doesn't really say 'the One,' it says the 'God Person.' In the Book of Daniel he has a long white beard and lots of white hair and a long clean shining robe.

The other Red Ice TV clip I watched was of an interview with the young man who calls himself 'Styxhexenhammer666.' This gentleman is very learned for his age, and although I wouldn't call him brilliantly intelligent is nonetheless a kind of a modern day intellectual who has an extremely grounded mentality and a lot of common sense.

He refers to a lot of occult ideas regularly, and he seems to have a wide knowledge of a lot of the written occult texts, especially those of the last five hundred years or so.

'The Ancient of Day's' identity is the Primal Divine Being, who exists completely inside and outside of the whole spiral of Time - in the deepest Past, in the most vivid present, and even in the far distant Future. He carries a glowing lamp which throws light all around him even in the midst of utter darkness and the most bitter cold. The 'Yo-El' log is a piece of dried, dead, wood, that you burn in the middle of Winter, at night, when everything is cold and dark, and, in the embers of the burned log, a portal is opened through which enters the Spirit of the Ancient of Days. 

I've never seen anyone explain exactly where the word 'Yule' comes from as I have just done... 

You hear a lot these days about Wicca and 'natural religions' or 'Nature religions.' Most of these young kids swipe the ideas they have about Witchcraft and Nature Religions from movies like 'Bell, Book, and Candle' which they assume to be about Witches and written by Witches.

Bell, Book and Candle is about gays. And it's written by a gay who wrote during a time when there were still laws against homosexuality. The story masquerades as being about Witches and a small Community of Witches in Greenwich Village, Lower Manhattan - but it is actually about gay people in the gay lifestyle.

And so, what you know about Witches from these kids nowadays, that is if you get your information from them, is very wide of the mark indeed.

In the film of the original play of 'Bell, Book and Candle' it is claimed that the male version of the word for a Witch is 'Warlock.' And that is not correct. A male Witch is called a 'Witch.'

Poker Staking Advances From Saudis

The young Faisal,
on a train...

Okay so this is just to remind you all - which will probably be happening ALL NEXT YEAR (LOL - that'll learn yez) - that we have a wealthy Saudi friend who wants to run a professional Poker Buy-In staking project for some online side-bet gamblers in India and Pakistan (highly 'haram' of course).

So, if you want to make some spare cash as a micro-influencer down your own social media avenues - you can register here and you'll get sent some info that you can spread around to potential poker players and on-line gamers and stuff. Register here: interdeq@iinet.net.au

PS It's actually NOT haram because the same private App will be used for official Baloot games and the idea is that at some point the Poker players will have a go at playing Baloot.

That's not me on the train, by the way. Although, as I have said, my father's aunt Gertrude Bell, was Faisal's friend.

And, er, that same Bell family, were the founders of Marlborough College in Wiltshire, and Johore, Malaysia. 

Only fucking rich people get to go there - it is THE most expensive school in the world. Not even that Swiss girls' finishing school comes close to the prices.

Alex Younger, whom no one has ever heard of but who is the current head of MI6... went there.

Would you believe.
