"In Perfect Moments, I Want To..."

"Annihilate the guard and surrender - but I cannot be that tender."

LOL

Who...?

Anyone, anyone?

But onto the material physical world of manifested creativity, one of the chief designers at Rolls Royce, conceived the beautiful Faberge 'Spirit of Ecstasy' Egg, which was brought into reality by the House of Faberge last year. It's been doing the rounds of places like Doha and the like, where us Plebs never much venture because we have too few bucks to even breathe the expensive Oud-redolent out air there.

Faberge Rolls Royce 'Spirit of Ecstasy'

Alex Innes, the designer behind the shape, proves once again, albeit it is among a small nay, tiny set of examples of design and creativity in today's world - that humans are not yet completely exhausted as a creating species... Even so though, you would have to say that at virtually every level of popular culture now at least, it is decidedly an effete Age.

In the hands of the top-end mass-market commercial corporations and their chosen design-houses (they are always groups and virtually never individuals in this sector), the exhausted phase of society and culture expresses itself visually in particular in artificial 'cleanliness,' and an imposition of 'purity' onto complicated things and complex systems. Here is an example by the German Design House Cheil - in theory this is a Korean company underneath the Samsung Brand, but in all practicality it is run by Germans. There appears to be some sense in which the top people don't trust in people's capacity to handle sophistication.

This is going to be the style of the Samsung 'pop-up' stores around the world
for the near-term future. An example of what I consider extremely bad design... (There's a truly gratuitous comment for ya).
And yet, there are some stunningly good Samsung 'pop-up' stores around - but these are
where the shopping center management itself imposed their own 'conditions' and effectively,' their own design ideas.

The true leading-edge of human thinking and society and culture now is becoming ever that much more thinned out... There are fewer and fewer people with the active mindsets capable of appreciating sophisticated things and trusting humanity and the intellectual power of human beings.

What does this mean for the future?

I can but smile. Although it is not a nice; not a generous, smile.

Glacial, Slow Revelation re Bugging People

Middle of Summer in Europe is the main 'Vienna Waltz Concerts,' see...

Time when they have to try and 'shoe-horn' the Chairman of the Bank For International Settlements into some kind of tux, maybe, and then after that drama, actually shove him through the two-leaf main hall doors to get him into the theater.

Augustin Carsten is a bloody damn big guy.

Champagne cocktails for after-show parties! 

Not even going to stick a pic of him here - it would damage the 'feel' of the place that much.

The BIS (Bank for International Settlements), basically the thing that runs all of your mainstream retail and commercial banking worldwide, is a NAZI organization, begun by NAZIS and NAZI sympathizers in Switzerland, and funded after the War through melted gold taken from people of all kinds killed in and around Germany and whose gold was taken from them. And that's just a plain fact. Sorry.

Most of those NAZIS involved in banking on 'the wrong side' during the WAR, positioned themselves AFTER the War in... wait for it... wait for it...

Big name opera singer opens the show.
They mostly never show you on the TV, but people have tickets and are seated
all around the auditorium above the dance floor...

Mexico.

Strange how there is this controversy over porous borders down there... Ahem. Cough.

Anyway not to worry. Tonight there is the main Vienna Walzer Concert and party, and Saturday is the 'Supreme Concert.' Continua continua, as the Romans say. Things go on - the story is fundamentally the same. The power-plays are being enacted now beneath the radar; though less so now due to the internet and communication technology and computers. Will we all credit what was going on - when we finally find out... 

Arabism, Orientalism, Modern-esque...

Jones - is this your dad here?

You didn't know he was a famous Paris DJ now, did you...

Claude Challe

This is Claude Challe, a Tunisian who started, along with the Romanian interior designer Raymond Visan, the hugely successful 'Buddha Bar' establishments, virtually right across the globe now.

The absolute 'best-est' one though, is the nightclub/dance-floor, cocktail bar with restaurant, and ultra-private dining rooms - in Monaco.

Most of you will be at least vaguely familiar with the phrase 'Buddha Bar' because it occasionally comes up on your Foxtel music backing between when you are couch surfing and channel switching to try and find (foolishly) anything actually worth watching.

Monaco 

The 'Buddha Bar' LP music is indeed compilations put together by Claude Challe literally from either the Bucharest Buddha Bar or the Monaco one and at least earlier on, his Paris dance clubs and studios.

Buddha Bar menus are all pretty much upscale 'Asian Fusion' food, but the local establishments do also tend to reflect the general local standards too - and consequently, it is the Dubai and the Monaco Buddha Bars that are far and away the most exciting and high quality when it comes to what you are served. 

Paris is today unlivable and the prices are beyond the simply exorbitant. You are better off going to Dubai or Monaco... ...where not only will you get real value for money, but the quality of service and the general atmosphere and interior designs and decor are absolutely stunning. There is a thing called 'Secret Gateway' in Monaco, which you will give you privileged access to the ultimate... ...um ...and quite special... ...moments.

Paris Opera Anniversary

Today is the 250th Anniversary of the Paris Opera, founded by Louis XIV the Sun King.

The program schedule consists mainly of sections of the massive Wagnerian Ring Cycle - which is scheduled to be run in complete form as the mainstay of the season next year, 2020.

Paris Opera 

As usual Wikipedia gives us what appear like full factual details but which are scant elements of the whole matter - for one glaring example, the account leaps from 1669 to 1875 from the moment when the actual patent letters were signed by Louis, to the time 200 years later when the Opera Garnier (theater auditorium) was built, with not a single word on where or how or when if any, actual operas were held in the location or under the name of the Paris Opera.

Common sense, sorely missing in many places these days, would grant that either the Sun King was about to take an unusual zillion-dollar flyer on the theoretical future creation both of an opera company of players, as well as some suitable building to house the productions and seat thousands... ...or such a place and people had been being trialed for some time already.

Anyhew...

Enough with the whinging already. We have the Wiki. And we're stuck with it. Tomorrow's people will possess the foundations upon which they no doubt will attempt to go to Mars.

Beautiful as it indeed is, it is in danger of being burned to the ground as Pierre Boulez once offered sarcastically, to do. Since after all, we simply must have some space in Paris city for another monument to um, Macron as Jupiter and maybe a smaller one to Baal.

Verona

Burn the Opera to the ground, I say.

Of course the Palais Garnier and the entirety of the Paris Opera complex are stunningly beautiful buildings and artworks.

But the best large opera facility in Europe is undoubtedly the Verona Amphitheater, and this is where the best opera singers headline the schedules.

Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov... Muslim name, as you will
note, both of them just from a successful season in Dubai.

You See, The Problem With MI6, Is This

Now you will see in the media - as a direct result of the upcoming declassified transcript documents relating to Alexander Downer's taping of George Papadopoulos - that the UK government will claim that it only knew of some of the matters regarding Russian interference in US elections, and compromising material uncovered by Christopher Steele (this latter of which is entirely false material, as we now know) around 2016 just AFTER the election of Donald Trump. And the UK government has itself just begun the 'backgrounder narrative' of its 'story' (fairy tale) by releasing to its own home media, that memos were received by heads of its Intelligence Services, and the relevant ministers including the Prime Minister, at that time (IE, 2016).

The problem with these lies, is that they are pathetic attempts at covering up a depth of lying that raises a lot of serious questions:

Sir Alex Allan, was the UK High Commissioner in Western Australia even before 1999. He was previously, a personal private secretary to UK Prime Minister John Major. Major owns several businesses in Western Australia, establishments I have personally been to to meet with UK spies. And, there are several of our friends who read here and sometimes contribute articles, who were themselves also there or who directly know about those instances and circumstances. And that would have been before 2010.

Allan was the Chairman of the UK JIO, which gathered and analysed information from MI5, MI6 and material from GCHQ - he was/is himself a computer communications expert in his own right. I have met him a few times. I found him, frankly, a very nice man on the surface.

Foreground, extreme left - Joseph Mifsud.
Interesting robes...

The trouble with the current 'official' story is that it is my personal knowledge, and it is also reflected in mainstream media reports at close to the times in question, albeit somewhat buried now - that Sir Alex was a personal friend and colleague of Alexander Downer, this latter individual as you all now know having been the AUSTRALIAN High Commissioner in London and evidently the person who taped George Papadopoulos, or at least one of the key people who did.

...And you all who have been here from the start KNOW FOR SURE that I am telling the truth 'cuz I posted it in here back near enough to the times in question!

So who am I then, eh? Anyone, anyone? ; ))

Who are we, Bill? Ssshhh. Don't answer that. Not fully, anyway. Not yet. Coz the show ain't over yet. LOL

Fun times in Carson City. 

This Title Is Cryptic

One of the well-known jokes about all the James Bond books, is that if Bond were a real human being, and he really did consume as much alcohol as indicated in those stories... ...he would have to be a Freeman of London City.

One of the 'freedoms' of these folk, is that whilst within the perimeter of the City of London, they shall be 'bundled off into a taxi and conveyed home' if a policeman finds one of them drunk and incapable of driving or perhaps actually even walking responsibly anywhere.

There are a lot of aspects to 'the City of London' that are not spoken about virtually anywhere. No one - absolutely no one at all - is permitted into the City to bear arms against a Freeman, or prosecute them in any way, or do any kind of personal aggression against such an individual; and no one ever has. That is, not even UK soldiers, brigades, armies or any powerful group, ever have nor under present circumstances will they ever enter there to touch a single hair of any of the 'Freemen.'

And the only real way for that to be able to be continuously effected, is that there are mirror organisations - all of them highly secret - outside of the City who procure this situation, and ensure that it remains the way that it is.

The City of London runs things in the United Kingdom. 

Theresa May is a 'Freeman of the City of London.'

Christopher Steele worked inside of offices funded by Freeman of the City of London run through various charities.

The City of London is extremely powerful. But, alas, it is largely composed of drunkards and knaves now, who aspire to the heights of the old French Court of the Louis' and to European actual 'royalty' per se - and so they mimic a lot of the fashion statements of the (past) day that were aspects of that old world. At the same time, by force of practical experienced reality, and their money, they try to use and exploit modern technology to do whatever they want to do. When you see various 'names' of organizations that crop up in the newspapers these days concerning various scandals and the messy exploding of the underhanded things that were being undertaken... ...read 'Freeman of the City.'


ADDENDUM These characters love to be seen as just some quaint old jocular folkloric sort of merely local cultural phenomenon, mostly game fellows who are agreeable with doing silly dress-ups for the sake of American and Japanese and recently rich Chinese tourists. Don't fall for it. They are deeply sinister and wholly evil.

Why The Media Is Dead

Yes, it is actually quite dead. And it ain't coming back to life.

For years and years they wanted an easy path to significance and courted the press secretaries of politicians and ended up being absorbed into the clique.

By having 'exclusives' with important people (government ministers and the like) meant the media company owners could sack street level reporters. Just taking in hook, line and sinker the press releases, the hand-outs, the sponsored content meant you could next sack all the journalists as well. This happened over decades rather than any short amount of time.

Meanwhile, the world went to hell.

And this has had an enormous psychological impact on people, especially the so-called elites - for they, have seen themselves as different from, different to, and above, everyone else. But they failed to gouge out their own eyes and so they are completely surrounded by the murder and mayhem they themselves helped establish as a fixture of modern life.

Psychopathic or not, they have become depressed as a result and live within a cult of death in order to try and adapt somehow to the reality around them, that they possess no means to escape.

All 'mainstream' news media these days consists of the following few elements: something desperate, maudlin, unsolvable, and then next of course death, the superficial pronouncement of someone else's extraordinary wealth (always not real), dystopian images, and falsified definitions.

And there is virtually nothing that reflects what is really there, out there, on the actual streets, in the homes, or countrysides or establishments either of race or culture - because there is literally no one out there with a camera. Yes RT is out there but they don't represent the mainstream media at all.

The city of Paris is gone. It is no more. It will never come back now. 

In this month of Ramadan, we can consider the moon... We can realize that the main reason the new Bond will fail, just like politicians are wreaking havoc worldwide, destroying the great cities of the world, and all else like grasshoppers and locusts in a plague - is that the people involved are illiterate. And it just plain does not matter how many University degrees they have.

If you asked anyone on this new Bond 25 set and crew and production team and its directors (whichever of the proposed ones survive till the end...) - off the top of their head: what was the great classic opera music that really was featured in the soundtrack credited to Marvin Hamlisch, due to John Barry being unable to work in the UK for tax reasons... (Direct quote from the Wikipedia entry) UNABLE TO WORK IN THE UK FOR TAX REASONS. Can you believe it. I mean it's certainly true.

The point I'm making for my friend Ian Dickerson, is that 'tax reasons' contribute a lot to the lies told by Hollywood.

Wikipedia says that Chopin, Bach and Saint-Saens are reportedly heard in the movie. I mean sure they are there, but what was 'Hamlisch's' composed score based on? 

Antonin Dvorak's 'Song To The Moon' from 'Rusalka' the fairy-tale about the Little Mermaid. 

Don't Be Under Any Illusions...

You know, ever since the word had seeped out that the Mueller Report was being brought to the Congress and the whole sorry thing to a close, I have been doing my best to walk away from the whole nasty business. It's horrible, the whole of it. I don't want to talk about it - it's messier than the general public knows or probably can ever know under all of the circumstances.

Part of the background of why this web blog-spot exists at all is that there is work going on all the time creating 'dendrite-like' networks - and part of that is just the constant creation of, a kind of intelligent form of 'white noise.' This provides a canvas onto which tiny little brush-strokes are made occasionally for those with the requisite 'art appreciation education...' ...to be able to perceive. LOL ...If you know what I'm saying. Which you do because you're not silly.

Andrey Cheglakov - at a French music charity evening.
A good man. Supporter of the Arts.

So on the whole we want to do nice, happy, satisfying stuff - like you know, what the effects of a decent French onion soup are.

At the same time it is not the right thing to do to let innocent people walk around without warning of impending disasters, be they so small that they are not going to wipe out whole countries as such, but material enough to hurt actual people, innocent by-standers who happen through no fault of their own, to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And so with that in mind let me put it out there, that, if say, the worst of the conspiracies are even close to the truth - say, regarding Five Eyes and people like Jonathan Winer and James Comey and that coterie of people, then it is unreasonable to think that at some point, someone isn't going to shoot their way out of, into, or around just to make enough noise to scare the jungle monkeys out of the trees in which they are hiding.

Lt General Flynn. Good man. Supporter of America.
And the others are not.

And with that thought in mind, I cannot recommend going to any private clubs, be they ambassadorial, or academic, or global commercial - in Londonistan or Washington and by Washington I also mean Boston. ...Nor any 'cigar lounges' or wine bars in London.

The reason you see today's story in the BBC about the minister seeking 'general amnesty' for officials (he says 'military personnel') having killed civilians in enterprises against terrorists in foreign lands... ...is because these idiots all took Ian Fleming just a touch too much at his express word when they swallowed all of that 'lament over the End of Empire' that Fleming over-indulged himself and subsequently all of us in, far too many years ago now, to still be exerting influence over mindsets now.

The 'Directions' On The Path

We've been down this path before, haven't we, boys and girls.

A long long time ago now, we have talked about Mancur Ojjeh and his business and sporting partnership with one of the greatest analysts and strategic and tactical minds of our time - Ron Dennis. 

Ron Dennis with Mancur Ojjeh - Mclaren Racing

Formula 1 has nothing very much to do with anything in particular when it comes to the matters in the press at the moment to do with spying, but of course it does provide a convenient, controlled venue for international 'meet-ups' under the guise of some benign activity. That's fairly obvious and it doesn't take someone 'on the inside' to realize so.

At the moment the US media is softly running stories about a circle of UK spies resigning from a Cambridge seminar group due to the 'dangerous involvement' of Russian Intelligence people with the funding of that group. 

Now to cut a long story short, this is just a 'cover' to pretend that these UK spies ever held any real interest for the Kremlin. I mean, yes they held and still hold 'an' interest - but only in the way of that no one from the Kremlin ever wanted to or wants to get even within a hundred miles of these people; the Kremlin already has a low opinion of them and very little respect for them and would have zero plans or interest to 'get close to them.' If anything, the Kremlin would keep tabs on them to run very fast away from them.

Now you should be under no illusion at all that these people are dangerous. 

Andrey Cheglakov - Marussia Racing Team.
Supposedly a Kremlin agent who could have 'influenced' some Cambridge
academic group. Maybe...
And maybe he could have. So what? Why draw attention to it?
...If it's really true as stated. It isn't.  

What is clear in the hub-bub of recent disclosed matters, is that a large-scale, convoluted, tricky, and probably rather sinister deep network run by the Cambridge academia crew whose 'business' is spying - has been blown apart disastrously by the Trump Presidency.

What these spooks achieved was a massive great big FUBAR.

They're very brilliant people, you know - several of them have a range of higher degrees as long as your right arm. 

Now I tell you all of this to alert you to the mischief that is perpetrated by propaganda experts in the media, who use terms and phrases in very deliberate ways in order to mislead.

The phrase you will hear over and over about Stefan Halper and Christopher Steele is that they had sources in the Russian Intelligence world. Now a 'source' is someone or somewhere that gives you good information intentionally when you ask them something, or they volunteer it because they want to assist you. A 'target' is someone from whom you attain information (which might be good, or it might not in varying degree) with out without their knowledge or agreement. 

The woman on the right is the person implicated by MI6 as being
the Russian agent who led/trapped Mike Flynn into
some secret 'collusion' with the Russians. She is Svetlana Lokhova;
Sort of like 'Lois Lane,' really: Lana Lokhova. A bit like,
also - 'Lana Loco.' All I can say is, the Brits are so screwed here it hurts when
I laugh.
Stefan Halper, by the way, was arrested for cocaine possession but the case was
'sealed' - and dropped, because he is a government spy. UK government.
Svetlana was known as 'Crazy Miss Cokehead' when she worked as a London City banker.

For the FBI to say such a thing as 'Steele was a reliable source' disguises firstly that he was only a conduit and NOT in fact THE ACTUAL source at all of the secret/s, but worse still - when the FBI says 'reliable source' they mean different to any independent authentic and genuine SOURCE; in that, he was also in fact an OFFICIALLY-CREDITED person (and 'source' for the purposes of their phraseology). Officially-credited means the UK government openly said to the US government that he worked for them ('at some point...').

So what we have, let's propose, is that the FBI likes to rely on reliable sources (IE they are snobs and only 'credit' sources who exist at the same stratospheric 'level' with themselves), and in this case too, that they want it to seem that Steele generated a 'credible' report from his 'sources' that might have had enough basis to establish a further 'look see' officially now by the FBI.

See - I am not a 'reliable source.' But I am an authentic and genuine one.

The problem is that when the FBI relied - relies - on some other foreign government-credited source, they must, MUST know that government is completely up-front with them. How do they know that? There is simply no such basis on which to really guarantee it. You can have 'reliable sources' and you can have authentic sources, and genuine sources with or without authentication - but you cannot trust any single one always above any other one; the ones that are good for you function appropriately for you and benefit you.

The UK has never not even one single time since the infamous 'September Dossier' benefited the USA with any of these 'secret advice/information' documents.

And now I'm suggesting to you that you also, cannot take it for granted that the words 'reliable source' are going to be of benefit to your appreciation, understanding, and eventually, use of the 'knowledge' currently being dispensed by your local friendly media.

Christopher Steele simply never had a 'source' at all. He 'could' have had a 'target,' he might have had some 'intelligence resource' to exploit but not 'a' source.

For Christopher Steele to have been being given credible beneficial information intentionally from a Russian Intelligence source, they would have had to have forgiven him and his handler Pablo Miller and MI6 - for turning Sergei Skripal into a traitor all those years before.

How does that even make sense?

It doesn't. It's a lie. All of it. All of what you are hearing in the media is a huge deception. 

Congratulations To Those Poker Kids (With Their Hoodies)

About two and a half months ago half a dozen teenagers and twenty-something year old's picked up our $500 worth each of 'poker staking advances' in digital crypto from our Qatari Baloot Championship sponsors.

And today, just as an organic result of the incredible recent rise of BitCoin they have all - at least on paper - turned a profit of greater than a 100%.

Next round should be end June of this year.

Good luck to all who participate.

Theatrical Pantomime, NOT Illuminati!

There's no Illuminati nuthin' at any of these things like the Met Gala red carpet.

This is strictly theatrical pantomime - and always has been. I would even suggest Diaghilev has touches of the panto - he was most certainly of the 'morally decadent' kind (that Stalinist Russia did not approve of). Diaghilev's costumes was one of the early 'Met Gala' themes...

We're talking the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute (a separate division within the museum organization). We're not talking the New York Metropolitan OPERA (also referred to sometimes as 'the Met').

This is Mrs Martin Shafiroff - and she's a more high profile
New York super elite socialite, basically her husband is a public funds manager...
So the profile in charities works on several levels. But these Galas are totally
different to the Met Gala. And they don't make the media. Usually.

But you won't see the 'costume' part actually attached to the 'Museum of Art' phrase in Wiki's BS page, especially not where it relates to costumes from 'theater.' What the Wiki says is that the thing was formerly known as 'the Costume Institute Gala.' But that's not right: 'THE Costume Institute' IS the NY Met Museum of Art.  

It's just a fact that the modern world is so literally 'dumbed-down,' that countries go to war, terrorism takes place, and acts and actions affecting millions of people's lives proceed from sheer ignorance that is grossly exploited by very malicious but highly-cognizant globalist agenda political groups. And their scheme runs quite broadly.

For example, all you hear these days from the standard supposedly 'Sunni' but otherwise still globalist propaganda machines - be they actual Muslims or just the BBC and the like - is that 1. Muslims 'have' Jesus in the form of some identity 'Issa' spoken about in the Quran; and 2. and Christians dispute that this is so because Muslims do not identify 'Issa' as any kind of literal, actual 'son' of God and nor did he (Issa) die on the cross.

A section of page from the actual 'Blue Quran.'

Well these are not facts. Mu'tazila Muslims definitely have the same conception of the Word of God that Christians do, and moreover, the Quran itself says it. And it says it in several places that are often avoided in this type of discussion.

The Mu'tazil (orginal, actual) version of the Quran is in the New York Metropolitan Museum and so far, no one from any 'Islamic' parts of the world have demanded it 'back.' And that's probably because - in my view - today's 'Muslims' have moved very far away from any real need to understand what the Arabic text actually says or means (the latter of which is called 'Islamic interpretation' or tawil). 

There's a lot of ignorance in today's world...

...the Met has nothing to do with authentic occult rituals or real occult groups. 

If you want real high level occult stuff, you cannot expect to find same in obvious, made-for-the-public-consumption symbolism or activities and festivals. The Edinburgh Festival's 'Queen of the May' fire celebrations which present depictions of the so-called 'Green Man' - some kind of Arcadian figure with horns on his head (ergo, must be the Devil and Satan, yes? LOL)  - is exactly NOT an occult thing. Even though every young man/woman/other and their dog wishes it so.

As I have explained before, 'the Green Man' (in fact it's 'the LITTLE Green Man') in authentic occult circles, is the Sun. 

Authentic, genuine, occult May Festival 'fire ritual...'
The Baked Alaska.

The May Queen...

And the High Society's May Queen Gala Ball is happening this year...

Yes, you guessed it (not!):

In Qatar! No, seriously. For real, it is here; started May 1 and moves onto ships.

How 'bout dat...?

This is from the actual - real - French initial 'pagan' ball this year

A lot of dingbats from today's University campuses fancy they are 'pagan,' you see, and so they apparently know what the festival of 'Beltane' is all about. Seriously, they really believe they are 'Wiccans,' and they know all about this stuff. Technically, the festival falls on May the First. And what is going on with all these young kids today painting themselves and playing with fire and so on is Neo-Paganism, and not actual Gaelic folkloric practice. 

But for those who are in particular circles, Qatar is acceptable because Beltane is a festival of interaction with the Si - the fairy peoples - and the Middle East does have places where these beings dwell...

Fire.

Meanwhile, In Actual High Society...

This:

Oh, you think this is from a movie, or something?

No, no. This is just a bunch of people at the Grand Bal a Chateau Versailles, 2019.

And here they are again:

Woman in lilac on the right is Madame June Clovis, aka 'Louis' as in
le Roi Louis... Oh yes but yes. 'Clovis' became 'Louis' down through history,
but some of those in that mob have gone back to 'Clovis' or ahem... 'Clos de ville,'
or 'Coverdale.'

So... Met Gala, ya think. Ya think?

And what we shall be posting in the immediate next article here - is going to send your head spinning. 

The Modern Media's Parallel Construction Fraud

A clue to this type of thing is the utilizing of similarly sounding names and words and terminology... And it is widespread enough these days for smart people to be on the look-out for. The purpose is often commercial, that is, for money. Political campaigns do it for political power, obviously, but behind that is still the fundamental money motive.

An example of a potential 'parallel construction' fraud -
this is not a pic from the movie or from during its making, obviously

It's quite an effective propaganda tool because with continuous repetition it becomes like a computer virus that self-replicates - a process in which people just uncritically repeat what is false until such a large audience 'know' the parallel constructed version that it becomes the 'lore' and then the 'truth.'

If you look at the standard modern media and observe the stories about 'society' especially celebrity society and the 'upper crust' you will see things like the Met Gala and whatever Hollywood 'red carpet' thing is 'happening' - and from this you can easily start to imagine (use your imagination; get images and ideas in your head that are essentially factually false but still drive emotional responses at some level... lol; just sayin') that the current 'fashion' among the rich and the connected and the elite and whatever else terms one can throw at 'them,' is LGBTQ, ungendered, heavily surgery-'enhanced' and 'progressive' (a label I once might have given to myself).

'Spies Like Us' - we all go to the same bad tailor and (better) hairdresser

I just got some pics from people who took quite a long time releasing them... ...but most of them are shots taken from earlier this year. You might think they are from centuries ago, but mais non, they are more or less from right now. 

Now... ...I could also say there will be shots taken later this year, but that could easily be misconstrued so I won't say it.

Paris - earlier this year, 2019

Running Across The Town Square, Books Under Cloak

Somewhere in these pages over recent months (and just from memory, so I might not be able to point to where exactly right away) in quite a number of places, there will be phrases along the lines of '...and I have visions of running through the town square as the fire burns, with a stack of important books tightly held under my arm.'

However in all likelihood these books will be only of importance to me. And maybe a handful of others around the globe.

This is Trinity College Library, Dublin, not 'Trinity Hall' Cambridge...

You know, even such tomes as 'the Picatrix' are around in multiple copies and it is only a rare, a very rare range of titles, for which few or only one or two completely intact copies still remain to us. Professor Jonathan Bate (Professor of English Literature, Oxford) was on a Sky Television news backgrounder this week talking about god only knows what, I don't remember, but I do remember one particular phrase he uttered in running: 'as the classics drift away from us and are forgotten...'

See what I mean? This is THE head of English Literature at Oxford University right now. He received his first degrees from Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Why did he say that...? 'drift away and are forgotten...'

What does he mean? These things serve merely the purpose of artifacts? Is that what he means?

You can afford to forget something if it had no integral function of itself, and served only as an artifact, apart from which the core knowledge entailed was well enough known to everyone or at least to a sufficient number of experts.

Dr Pieczenik

Now here I'm going to dove-tail in another, yes another, reference to my earlier article respondent who mentioned that Charteris was not (or at least not credited as, or not widely believed to have been) a screenwriter for any Bond movie: Dr Steve Pieczenik, the US Intelligence psychologist who worked on some original regime changes in the Middle East decades ago now, was also on his YT channel saying that JFK had read '6 Days Of The Condor' liked it, but failed to appreciate it's significance as it might have applied to himself. Now as you all know 6 Days Of The Condor was made into the movie 3 Days Of The Condor and the book was originally published in 1974, long after Kennedy was assassinated. So was Dr P wrong? Was he mistaken? He seemed to be quite positive and definite in what he was saying.

The original manuscript you see, albeit written by James Grady, a personal friend of Dr Pieczenik's, was penned in outline form much earlier on by Lee Metcalf, the Senator and Congressman who started or helped start the DIA - the US Defense Intelligence Agency.

I could I suppose be altogether condescending and patronizing and appear as if turning personal folklore into fact, but here, here, let me offer all of you just this - and when you read it, read it very carefully, taking note of when I posted it here, and what happened shortly thereafter. Things are not always what they seem, are they, gunny...

And so, yes, a few more incidents are coming up the turnpike shortly, and we will indeed be speaking of them beforehand. 

Quoted, from this Blogspot, of Thursday 14 Feb, 2019:

"Thomas Sheridan recently produced a short series of YouTube articles about his visit to Sri Lanka, from where he brought back a small figurine of 'Kali' and then he just groaned that it had been badly smashed when it went through customs in Dubai... Well, it is common practice for almost all the Muslim personnel there to literally deliberately smash small idols - and they are known to do it regardless that some naiive traveler is simply passing through there. Sheridan is a widely-acknowledged expert on some aspects of British folk religions and what is termed Irish paganism, and he is a very fact-based, logical thinker on those subjects."    

Things You Won't Get From Wikipedia

Responding to a comment from a reader in an earlier article about the latest Bond mis-adventure, caused me once again to just shake my head at today's sad condition of the media and the misleading and often subtly deceptive information resources we all have and regularly turn to - I suppose, particularly, Wikipedia.

I understand that a fundamental protocol of what allows certain things to make it to a Wiki page and certain other things to 'not,' is this academia, campus-based 'peer review' and fact-checking volunteer scheme they have. Granted the Wiki began with a huge global co-operation of librarians and especially campus-based librarians, then no doubt they desire to preserve some kind of intellectual territoriality but so much of what they allow up onto the main pages is just so much nonsense really.

Lord Nicholas Windsor - his dad is the head of UK freemasonry (I think).
He went to Oxford, not Cambridge, unlike Charteris.

Nobody these days seems to have the common sense capacity to think through ideas logically and adjust things that appear through constant repetition but simply cannot be true realistically-speaking.

I mean, my own uncle went to school with Charles Yin (Leslie Charteris) and my father was just a year younger than Yin - and they not only thus lived in the same eras, but either in the same physical locations in the world and certainly in the exact same social circles.

If you go by Wiki, Charles Yin was footloose, moved around a lot, appearing to struggle from one job to another... ...and what I think you're meant to draw from this is that by travelling as much as he did at a young age, and experiencing so many jobs he gained a lot of experience for his eventual career as a writer.

Dr Peter Duncan, Cambridge expert on Russia -
the individual most singly responsible for current MI6 Russian policy. 

Wiki very casually explains that Charles Yin went to King's College Cambridge and Rossall School. I don't even want to go into what that means to knowledgeable people but if you look up even the silly Wiki entries and read through them at some point you are going to trip over certain er, 'associations' and 'clubs' let's say, that will give you cause to stop and think.

On Charteris himself (Bowyer-Yin), the Wikipedia entry again very casually says firstly that his father was 'a physician,' and that (and I find the phrasing quite rude, frankly) he - ' claimed to be able to trace his lineage back to the emperors of the Shang Dynasty.'

Well okay, let me tell you something about his father - he was the A-Number One Chinese physician across the whole of South East Asia, having surgeries all over the place from Siam (as it was then) to Ceylon (as it was also known then). He had a partner who was a compounding chemist as well as a medical GP - Doctor Lim - and in 1954, Doctor Suat Yin was the first and only person in South East Asia to own and drive a 'gull-wing' Mercedes 300 SL. And that was because he had the monopoly rights to manufacture medicinal morphine from the US Military (because it was a militarily controlled substance) into South East Asia. His partner Doctor Lim was highly versed in the chemistry and entire process of manufacturing medical morphine including the so-called Indian latex method of extraction and had been since long before WWII - and the US Army recognized this doubly so because Lim was an industrial chemist of sorts who also consulted to the wartime rubber (rubber latex, not poppy latex) plantations and first stage process works in Ceylon and India and Malaysia.

Wiki absurdly tells that Charteris worked on a rubber plantation. Doing what, exactly, did he 'work' on a rubber plantation - as a Tamil cutting rubber, or maybe a Chinese rubber tapper...? Rubber plantations were owned by literally the most wealthy people more or less in the world, due to the exorbitant prices on rubber caused by the wars.

Leslie Charteris - I hate to tell you all this - was a writer by no accident; he is related to the Mitford Sisters through his mother's family and their link to the Redesdale and Denham Baronetcy. Yeah he 'drove a bus' as Wiki rightly says - he tested out vehicles for my father's aunt and her then husband, who started the Green Line Busing Company of Thailand and Singapore. Probably worth - the bus company - today's equivalent of thirty to fifty million dollars or more.

Sometimes, I give up, honestly. 

Original Mercedes 300 SL

So, the comment pointed out that Charteris had never worked as a writer on a Bond movie. And that is certainly a conclusion one can draw from the Wiki entry on his work. He was contracted to Paramount, in any case, not Columbia. A little point about 'movies' generally... In the old days, movies were made by photographing on special film stock made by petrochemical companies exclusively. Shell made most of the film stock. It cost HUGE sums to even buy the unexposed canisters of film stock, never mind the movie cameras. Bell and Howell, Hughes Tool Corporation, and MGM either made the main parts or owned all the actual fully-made cameras - and the first two of these were deeply linked to the petroleum exploration and drilling industry. Now there are things that I can tell you about the movie 'Thunderball' that very few others alive today can - for one thing it was not all filmed in the Bahamas, although the story is set there and the movie intends you to believe it is all Bahamian scenery. 

John Hopkins has the screen credit as co-screenplay writer on 'Thunderball' - a story which was devised by Kevin McClory and produced by him. McClory was first cousin to the then Managing Director of Shell Far East, who provided the film stock at the expense of Shell.

Hopkins was also from Cambridge University - and hit his head and drowned in his pool in California in 1998, and, according to Wikipedia, that was 'following an accident in which he slipped.' 

Whatever.


Any-hew... Thanks to the Singapore government decently retaining some real history about itself, here is the official entry in its own records about Dr Yin Suat Chuan:
