This Is The Basic Problem:

Look you can't blame producer Barbara Broccoli too much. For one thing she is not British, she is American. And in the second place she originally contracted the screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade because she has seen an earlier work of theirs which she described as being 'dark, witty, sexy and inventive...' ...indeed all the things you would want in a Bond movie.

And then, she hired Martin Campbell the director to try and revive the franchise - which he managed to do especially in Casino Royale, which was a commercial success and really unearthed the English-speaking mainstream public to Eva Green who went onto substantial successes in more movies.

'I just know you guys are going to f* it up!'

But then - and for me you can see the signs already beginning to creep in in Casino Royale when someone is placing various policy pressures onto the director - the whole enterprise goes badly downhill in a very tragic way when the entire Bond 'canon,' let's say, the authentic book-based narrative about what this thing is all about, turns into some kind of political propaganda pantomime horse. 

And that is because there is a difference between 'writer,' and 'screenwriter.' The two things are not the same at all - and neither Purvis nor Wade are acknowledged writers with any real body of print work published beforehand.

A screenwriter is a visual logistics manager or documenting clerk. A writer deals with all kinds of ideas communicated in the first instance through words and language. And there are some ideas that have no visual image analogs to render the real sense of them. In films they require to be implied by scenes, images, and perhaps sound - and even then, they will rely on the audience having an ability to make the impressionistic leaps needed.

'Petrichor' has no direct visual analog. 'Aldehyde' hasn't either. Nor does 'louche;' at least not in the modern world.

Once you have the screenwriters also bringing their own personal private life biases into the stories which are not part of the real originator's 'canon,' you massively run the risk of losing the audience that made you rich in the first place who liked what was there when they were attracted to the product. 

Len Deighton and Leslie Charteris were significant writers long before they worked on Bond films as screenwriters, even though they were both good screenwriters, especially so Charteris. They understood what today's Bond developers appear to have no clue about, which is that the Fleming stories do not revolve around the following:

Weird Characters
Location
Politics
Crazy Objective (of inverted 'protagonist' character; namely, the villain)
Anti-Protagonist (Bond)
Conflict caused by Bond blocking the objective
Car-chase
Violence and pain
Dangerous edges
Explosions
Bigger Explosions
Huge vast explosions
Credits and music

...What they revolve around I do know - but it would cost you a damn lot of money to get it from me!

You're on your own coughing up twenty bucks plus coke and popcorn money for the rubbish you will get from Eon and the two gay guys inclusive one heroin addict. Good luck.

Scientist Goes Missing...??!

Like, yeah, so what?

Rami Malek is announced as coming onto the cast of the new Bond scam. And a comedy writer(!) is also announced as THE MAIN SCREENPLAY WRITER(?)

Okay so what has been going on with the Bond franchise for years now is that they hold off on production until they get what they reckon are adequate placement and support contracts before they make the next movie or even commission a script and screenplay. Variety Magazine reported the producers have secured a hundred million dollars from a list of brands like Belvedere vodka, Heineken, Gillette, Omega watches...

So now you know (ought to be able to guess) how the French actress from the Schlumberger family got her part.

Yep. Sony was kicked off the distribution account and substituted with Universal Pictures, who clearly take a far lesser cut now.

The next Bond, whilst it will sink like a stone at the Box Office, will still be a 'success' for the producers, who don't give a f* about talent or being a faithful custodian of the true Bond 'brand,' or thrilling or entertaining the audience or paying real screenwriters or meaningful writers generally.

It seems that the mode for all the big movie franchises now - because people don't spend money going to movie theaters anymore and are getting everything they want from the internet - is product-placement and other angles to make money other than real ticket sales. Marvel creates one disaster after another and still goes on. 

Apparently the main plot line of 'Bond 25' is that a scientist goes missing where Bond is vacationing or maybe more or less in retirement.

Yawn...

And with Malek turning up the continuing undercurrent will be that everything about Bond will be gay-themed and there is not a damned thing real fans of the real books and original films will be able to do about it. 

Scientist missing - no doubt a 'climate change expert' or even better still, could be a vaccination biochemist...

...And Rami Malek. Doing bad impressions of Montserrat Caballé. Why not.

Wonder how much Malek had to tip in to 'get' a spot. He's just come off a 'great success' from er, er, er, global marketing contracts. 

Precious Metals Lack A 'Narrative' Today

I received a communication very recently discussing the prospects for silver.

Categorically it is not possible to view price stability exhibited in both gold and silver markets as absent of interference by 'the Russians...' It must be 'the Russians,' after all - it can't be a concerted effort by the global network of Clearstream-enabled Central Banks. Because then that would be criminal fraud and conspiracy to cheat traders and investors and others.

But regardless of whoever is doing it, it is difficult to see near-term price rises without some obvious change in this scam of limitless forward selling using printed fiat and then 'buying in' on the shaken out 'longs' and even commercial vault holders of physical.

Yet, against the background of this seeming absolute 'control' of the market, is the existence of an unacknowledged crack in the fabric of all bankers' 'space-time continuum.' Clearstream, the public-company owned iteration of what was originally the vital Swiss Settling and Custody Aktiengesetz that all Central Banks previously depended on for the SWIFT system, has had a declining uptake against competing platforms such as the basic internet Blockchain system. What this really means is that something has gone wrong with the 'elite.' They control nothing now. Theoretically, maybe, they could control some aspects of governments' policies to do with the internet, but they literally cannot control the actual internet itself because it is independent - with modern wireless systems - of network infrastructure run by government, or even 'seen' by governments.

We might have to face some situation at some point around the next corner, in which banks and traditional currencies develop insurmountable problems concerning being universally accepted tokens of exchange. I mean it seems silly, but what if dirty Russian 'money' starts transferring London real estate using BitCoin... It's not going to see the City of London prevent them from doing this, because money laundering using false valuations, is how London functions economically at all, and as long as they (the London Freemasonry 'masters') get their 'cut' they're not going to object especially not if it means not getting any 'cut' at all if they do object. If money is 'dirty' because it is from dubious Russian sources, BitCoin is far easier to 'acquire' without the taint if you happen to be a Russian oligarch with access to a Moscow semi-government financial account ledger.

Yeah. We've got a problem all right. And the media doesn't want to talk about it and governments are certainly not going to admit it. Literally, it's already the case that banks are an irrelevancy. Sure they still pay political lobbies, but to do what? They can attain no further control (from where they once were at the zenith) and have actually already lost control of the monetary tiger.

Very nice 'Damascene' silverware

Gold and silver have not changed their roles as a monetary 'backstop.' We can definitely look at slowly averaging a meaningful physical position.

But in terms of wider public demand, the public always needs a media-led 'narrative.' Gold Rush Fever! Spanish Silver! Pirates' Treasure!

Even the Chinese, who once were the leading exponents of silver casting, never talk about gold or silver in the terms they once did. Nor do the Japanese, and nor does anyone else for that matter.

There are some amazing arts that were historically associated with silver mining and silver stores - Damscening, the art of inlaying different metals, usually against silver or gold, produced stunning works in antiquity. Same with Toledo silver worked sword hilts.

A 'dirham' is an Arabic silver coin, as you well know

Sterling silver tea services are still bought at auctions but not given any kind of significant notation in the present-day media.There is a whole specific Russian silver style of craft that used to command huge prices - probably still does, but it is conducted outside of the media's glare.

There is no narrative going on in the general media and the public has lost interest in silver and gold.

And what does that mean?



    

Why Mueller's Material Omissions Are Significant

Basically, we are at a point where there are some things that no sensible, rational person, without a 'get-out' plan literally made by the head of a seriously powerful network, would say publicly.

And this is still, despite the extensive 'shadow-blocking' that has been going on this month, a public place; this blogspot is open to the public. And that means miscreants definitely can get to here and absorb stuff.

Nonetheless though, we will put out a few things in our own inimitable reckless way...

Joseph Mifsud is a formally-paid officer of the UK Secret Intelligence Services. But more than that, under the 'Five Eyes Co-operative Agreement,' he is a registered listed operative of the US Intelligence panoply.

Mifsud approached George Papadopoulos claiming to have thousands of intercepted Hillary Clinton emails that were extremely damaging.

At roughly the same time, a 'Henry Greenberg' approached Michael Caputo claiming to have 'damaging information about Hillary Clinton' (that he wanted $2 million for).

Some other 'Russian' businessman at the same time approached Roger Stone with more or less exactly the same offer. LOL

Robert Mueller made several very considerable material omissions in his report, one of them specifically being, that 'Henry Greenberg' was an FBI paid informant for 17 years.

Not just any old weapon... This is a 'message weapon,'
same as this was a 'message pic.' LOL This is hurting me.

In Australia, Pablo Miller, the handler of Sergei Skripal, was working inside the James Packer organisation to develop a very close line of access to the top tiers of Australian politics. 'Miller' is, I believe, currently residing in New Zealand along with Joseph Mifsud in a highly secured 'upscale' private farmlet property. They thought they were going to develop first grade access to the new Cuba, and have found likely to their extreme chagrin, that the Trump Administration has decided the WHACK HUGE sanctions on ANY EUROPEANS TRYING TO DO BUSINESS IN CUBA.

Miller is an absolutely deadly guy, with access to hugely toxic and internationally outlawed chemicals.

He is also an officer of the new Computing Center set up by UK spy chief Sir Alex Alan; he has extensive knowledge of gun-mounted wi-fi video camera equipment and real-time streaming.

Sure you got the same person, guys...
Believe me, this is all starting to be so funny it is literally hurting me.

Earlier this last week, the Trump Administration complimented General Haftar in Libya, on his rocking military campaign against Macron's er, oh sorry, against 'terrorists' operating in Libya.

You know if I said such a thing as a certain person is 'lucky to be alive' in context of this column, it might be viewed as a threat. So I will refrain from saying such things!

Yet you can see that a certain desperation is starting to creep into the dark minds of the insane people who tried this stunt about 'Russia something or other.' I mean, just look against what such schemes were averted: today you can see a huge expensive 'protest' is being stage-managed by the entire London Metropolitan Police and a thousand University students and PhD writers. Millions of pounds of government money is being spent in what is essentially, blatant in-your-face and rude propaganda - the work of charlatans.

Way, way over the top of your heads, guys.

Given that they are so powerful, you can imagine the irritation over how on Earth it was ever possible for Donald Trump to have been voted in... And how on Earth all their plans and schemes are being overturned, one by one.

Were, so powerful. But, as you know, when rats are cornered you get to really see the nastiness, of rats.

It's probably the time to do a 'reveal' - there are Russians, there certainly were Russians, doing things, as well as Americans working hand-in-hand with Russians... Robert De Niro, you might even like to hear this.

There were Russians. Though not the Russians you all went after.

You can't understand the game, Robert. And the rest of you on the wrong side here.

First, Clear Water...

'Oshibori' is the name given by the Japanese to the art and culture of hot towels and hot towel massage.

The practice is certainly known in other cultures too, of course.

All your senses, while put into a kind of temporary relaxed state, should still be working and available at a subtle level...
