Retail 'Luxury' is Dead

Of course no one in the industry is going to face it. They'll all just go broke quietly, and die off, and disappear and we'll never hear from any of them again in our lifetimes.

There are major shopping malls around the globe, that are completely empty even as we speak. And not because of cyclones or 'global warming.'

A Marol high thread count shirt there...

Filled with over-priced tacky stock-lines - gold Rolex's that no one buys anymore, peculiar 'fashion' clothing that only the lunatic Left in England and California wears - and next door, this year's atrocious computer-generated re-iterations of stale car designs with plastic bits inside and dodgy fake leather and 'carbon fiber' features, out in the car lots and glass-covered showrooms. That's the world of premium retail shopping today. 

Even some of the mainstream news reports are covering Ferrari wholesalers shoving transporter loads of these expensive pieces of trash into 'storm damaged, badly flooded' showrooms... in order to claim on insurance.

I say 'trash' because most of the models produced nowadays are exactly that - expensive rubbish. Anything that you have to pay over a million dollars for and that you sit in, needs to be able to fly. It's 2018. We want the flying cars. For real.

No more CGI. Quit with the damn CGI already. I don't need to see another flick involving lurid pointless violence, reptilians, car chases, car chases with aliens, gays, and how 'science' saves the world and solves everything by having another car chase and doing some gratuitous violence, but only more and better violence than the putative 'bad guys' in the mix. 

What is going to happen when the greater mass of the general public is dying of boredom...

They've already been so 'dumbed-down' that there are serious commentators using the phrase 'the low information voter' as a meme for the important swing vote percentile.

What Was It Really All About?

This week the bespoke division of Aston Martin managed a joint announcement with Jeremy Hackett of London's Hackett Tailoring, to the effect that Jeremy Hackett would be carrying out a 'designer treatment' version of the new Aston Martin Rapide S.

...As you can see, I am assiduously steering clear of any 'spy talk' just for now.

Hurricane Florence has come and it will go. And then there will be a flurry and a lightning storm over in Washington D.C.

Meanwhile, allow me to treat you to some nice pics in lieu of the real thing:

'Joy of Blackwater...' LOL

And if you might think we have all run a bit dry over here for some nice juicy NEW information, forget it! I have been literally overrun with absolutely stunning material which even I had little suspicion even existed.

This is one of these things which may have to stay deeply tucked into the lower drawers for a while yet but I shall pose this therefore, rather rhetorical question - do you think that Truman Capote was such a great writer that simply everyone who was anyone came to his masked ball that time...? Seeing as how to make things all the more absurd, he was really a hick-town boy from a place in Alabama that no one ever heard of albeit it was named after the fifth President of the United States James Monroe.

I mean you (IE meaning I, 'you' generically; thou, all of us) have to be pretty damn stupid to believe all the drivel about Capote and that damned silly 'black and white ball' back when... That is to say, when you think about it all now.

This is the place we're talking about, around about the time in question

I mean if you put your mind to it, you can really get taken in by the news-media and propaganda. See the thing is, media people have been lying viciously to the public for decades upon decades now. 

I'm not going to plaster the same old slick and glossy pics of that goddamn ball, with absolutely every single big-wig from high society swanning around in the Plaza Hotel in New York in 1966.

Maybe we can just stick a pic up of Truman and his friend Marilyn Monroe...

These things all just happen, see. Especially because farm boy was a such good writer - which he wasn't actually 'cause he could never even actually finish a book and even 'Breakfast @' turned into mush more than half-way through. 

Yeah. These things all just happen the way they tell ya.

Really Hard Trying To Stay Away From It

Ah well, here I was, doing my best as long as I could ta just shut up prior to the de-classifying by Donald Trump of the FISA documents and inter-office texts relating to Carter Page and George Papadopoulos - and lo and behold Papadopoulos and his wife gets onto Sean Hannity's show on Fox and blurts out that he thinks he might have been drugged during that London wine bar interchange with Alexander Downer, whom he thinks was improperly recording him on his cell phone (which is illegal - it's illegal under US law for a foreign person to covertly record a conversation with a US citizen). He even went so far on Hannity to actually specify the 'Five Eyes' group and he pinned the 'disappeared' spy Joseph Mifsud, AND Alexander Downer (and that would be a correct assumption by George Pap.) as Five Eyes operatives and spies.

This idea that Papadopoulos may have been drugged, rather than that he or anyone else at that meeting, was drunk - has been given zero coverage in the standard corporate media, and you cannot find it in the top-ranked links on a Google search about it; it's almost as if it has been quite deliberately blocked from being seen by the public.

But you and I, Bill, know that this kind of thing is exactly what goes on with Five Eyes operatives specifically, as far as their standard modus operandi goes, and we know it from personal experience over here. As I have long maintained, James Packer was or is still at severe risk, in my view, from these aggressive acts of malice, opportunity, and greed. And why would what are basically government agencies and their officials be motivated by greed? Because they have not been 'peopled'  by anyone on merit at the top for decades. This is all about the corporate, banking, and global political sponsors behind the Eu-Commission and NATO, and Londonistan. And the criminals they have installed inside various strategic places by patronage and corruption...

Even Pakistanis have recognized that their own 'orthodox' Islamic leaders have long ago been swiped by this underhanded wealthy elite who run things - Imran Khan, whom the Pakistani public themselves voted in as President there, is not a standard Muslim at all; in fact his form of 'Islam' (Ahmadiyya) is regarded with a great deal of derision as more than just a cult, but a lunatic fringe thing by ordinary mainstream Muslims. He has basically effectively been able to make the point to his constituencies that their 'formal orthodox' religious and political leaders, are not that at all, but some replacement by people with undue power and influence, and extremely deleterious motives against the general public.

This is pretty much the situation now across the whole globe; it's not restricted to the Muslim world, or Asian nepotism-style politics.

One sad fact is, that it has been extraordinarily simple to appropriate fools like Joe Scarborough, and Chris Cuomo and Alexander Downer (among a long list of idiots here in Australia working for ASIO and the Australian Federal Police that I could name), to use as cats-paws to laugh off and scoff at reality in the public media while they help further the aims of criminals who are working against ordinary people everywhere.

George Papadopoulos actually said, live on Sean Hannity, that he couldn't remember what was actually said at the meeting in the London bar with Alexander Downer and the Greek Foreign Minister, and that his recollection of the whole thing was a blur because he suspects he might have been drugged.

Yep, George. You were.

...And possibly that idiot Downer sprayed himself with some Nina Ricci 'purse pack' stuff and accidentally drenched you and himself with something less potent than the 'Novichok' that was used on the Skripals (not), though nonetheless, a preparation straight from the laboratories of MI6.

  

Extraterrestrials in the Vedas

As all of you scholars of the Purana texts know, Shiva, the major Cosmic Deity in the Vedas, is also described as 'Yaksaswarupa' - 'Extra-terrestrial.'

And things could not be more clear than that.

And by the way, 'yaksa' is pronounced more or less 'yexcha' and you can get away with 'extra...'

Just sayin'. LOL

This kind of setting is called 'thali.'

And beings come from far far very far away, to eat this kind of thing.

Sailing In Calmer Waters

But let us see shift away from all of the 'too hot' stuff about modern politics and so on...

Allow me to take a brief look at what is going on these days in the world of live tournament poker.

I remember, I think, recently, I was suggesting here that you can 'discern' certain potential psychological states of gamblers from the colors in the clothing that they wear.

And I personally believe that to be a true factor that reflects some underlying states-of-mind in people who are doing, well, anything really, not just gambling.

The current vogue among tournament poker players is jackets with poker industry logos on the shoulders, caps, maybe different kinds of hats, dark glasses sometimes, sneakers. Although I haven't seen anyone wearing velvet sneakers yet...

Vans brand velvet chukkas

Now, what do you think the theory behind this 'symbolism' is?

There are University courses in psychology which go into people's responses to color: red implies 'action,' or 'danger,' green means 'go,' or 'fresh/growth,' white means you have to spend a lot of time with a cleaning cloth...

In the Vedic system, colors have definite causes stemming from the release of energy from a higher state dropping down to a lower state - which is pretty much what modern electronics also says.

However in the ancient Vedic teachings, the higher mind equates to intense white, and the immediate lower purple/indigo equates to the so-called 'third eye,' then blue is the throat area, green the heart, just below that is the golden-yellow navel, and beneath that are the red energy circles.

A gambler wearing purple or mauve or violet (who has subconsciously selected that color feature) might be someone who has been doing a lot of calculating and is stepping down from that phase after their thinking has reached a temporary conclusion. This is a person who could be a successful risk-taker on course, or at a poker table.
