'Richard Martin's Wake Up Call'

Very occasionally I get the chance to recommend something - another site or news service or as in this case, an esteemed analyst who has a podcast service.

http://www.richardmartinswakeupcall.podbean.com/

The thing about pooled analysis of the kind that goes on in what are effectively social media control rooms belonging to GCHQ or the GRU or even the FSB, is that all those who end up with decent Intel-driven conclusion reports, started with a group of people around a large table, all of whom can easily have quite individualistic perspectives.

The point being, of course, that they all also have an adequately advanced mindset fully-equipped with good intellectual tools at their disposal.

It's 'old school' but it's not really old school...

I can say without hesitation the podcast I am recommending here comes with all those credentials, having been able to demonstrate them over decades in one form or another. 

Factually speaking, and I would say that it is a fact - today, none of the big agencies I mentioned above are only 'head-quartered' and centralized; they have distributed nodes of analysis experts 'out in the field' be it in the corporate city blocks of major financial centers, or inside research facilities of many different kinds - IE., Fabrica in Italy, other European design centers and especially also, in general academia. Almost all major masthead newspapers have editors who regularly sit on (government) Intel Committee panels.

And these basic government institutions now have a lot of 'competition' from big organized internet communications companies, to say nothing of how the Chinese government operates in the on-line and digital data collecting space.

Japan always had 'JETRO' and this was well-recognized as a benign and even a useful universal corporate intelligence dissemination agency - but of course, they definitely had internal analysis and policy directorates driving a Japanese government policy stance on things. And that's very fair enough, I would say. 

My school...

'Independent,' I would say - if you mean highest level, educated, independent analysis - probably fits neatly into the simple nomenclature of stock standard ethical old school, um, Alphabet stuff... ...that is, absent of sophisticated and surreptitious infiltration by political and/or particular moneyed interests, then your stock standard Harvard or Cornell or MIT and especially Brookings along with their panoply of orbital relationships - ISO and Amacom publishing - academic team-people, is what we would serve with the same set of defined characteristics and also report to at some point, that is, to the same democratically-elected policy leaders. Albeit, for all scrutiny that could be shone, independently.

Hey! Who's that? Now that's 'old school!'

I don't have a problem with that. I would tell the explicit and complete truth to the CIA if they ever asked (not that they will) and I probably would as well to quite a number of others not restricted only to US-led Western government authorities; unless I was told to shut up which I have been from time to time (LOL). And I would recommend the same stance to others to take; these guys are not nearly as bad as pop media and conspiracy thinkers make out. 

Boris Johnson is going to have a lot of trouble pulling the UK government and bureaucracy octopus into line though... I don't have much time for those guys unless I see enough evidence that the right people are back in charge there. The Five Eyes has been a big mistake. But... ...well, not my call there. We'll see what happens. 

We are heard in the courts of kings and princes, so let's
all be respectful about what we do and say and the way we do things around here, not that any of us
ever have been anything other than that... 

You see, how many of you know that the infamous Alexander Downer, was on on the board of Huawei...?

See what I mean?

What Does 'Deep' in 'Deep State,' Mean

"THUNDERBALL!" Ghislaine Hoch took that pic above...

Now as I write this, there are not too many people in the world, who know or are able to say, where the much-wanted Joseph Mifsud, is.

Right now Joseph Mifsud is in the Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel in London, England. How long he will remain there I cannot say, because I do not know.

What I do know, is that very unfortunately there are connections between Harvey Weinstein, Joseph Mifsud, Jeffrey Epstein, Stefan Halper, 'possibly' Prince Andrew, the Clinton Foundation and so on of that vast spectacle of an 'elite' crowd.

Kimpton Fitzroy - a chintz-y, re-worked, fake 'olden days'
facade of a place... Kinda nice inside, but very fake.

And what I do also know, is that there has been some speculation by a few of the team members in some pretty highest level 'analysis' circles - that the person you are seeing who is called 'Ghislaine Maxwell' is not the person who was Robert Maxwell's daughter; Maxwell, as you know, having disappeared from the deck of his boat the 'Lady Ghislaine,' at around some time after maybe 4.45 a.m., on the 5th of November 1991, off the Canary Islands.

Now, what you may not know, is that, regardless of the information about Jeffrey Epstein owning an island, or several islands - there are in addition other places out at sea, where this particular group goes, can go, does go, is...

These are undersea structures - I kid you not - as well as floating sort-of 'ships' of a kind.

Maxwell's real name is 'Hoch.' And he was born in the Ukraine and all of the narratives about him claim that he is a Jewish person. Which would make him, it would seem, a Ukrainian Jew...

And I'm not going to tell you what that means, or certainly might mean.

What I am going to show you, is the place where Prince Andrew entertained that young gal who is currently in the news on account she is a witness against Epstein in his case.

'The Tramp' private club, in London

And I'm also going to tell you that the Ziff brothers, the inheritors of the US publishing group developed and owned largely by William Ziff Jr until his death in 2006 - were on Harvey Weinstein's board of directors. Until they resigned when the negative stories broke into the wider media. And the Ziff's donated heavily to the Clintons. And, blah blah blah what a sad tragic damn mess.

And so, we cannot go much further than that at the moment and we don't really need to and in all events it's all very sordid and frankly, boring.

Yep, that's Ghislaine, getting out of a sub

Of course we don't like what happened - must have happened - to little kids. And perhaps the law will take its course there.

Robert Mueller was intrinsically involved in the * of a lot of money from the Ukraine. I say '*' but there are all these other phrases that are also used like 'pur*'d according to my purview.' Okay I made that up. 

It's not really an 'lol' thing, is it.

All those of you who are already in touch with us here privately, that is, by private contact via email and so on, are already getting some additional 'inside stuff' that is probably quite valuable. And we need to be most quiet about it all too.

The world has never been in a more dangerous, and frankly vile, place, when it comes to the big leagues of the money business. No one else needs to know, what you will come to learn and to know. And to have.

Our very own 'Russian friend' is leaving for Moscow in the next two/three weeks, and they have the brief to acquire some Russian er, er, some Northern Snow Marten glandular secretions, and some Siberian Musk... And maybe a sable hat or two.

Sable hats are very useful when you are out in the cold. And they're even useful when you come in from the cold, and get to say to the idiot across the table: '...Meanwhile, I have the sable hat, and you (still) don't.' And I hope you're all whip-smart enough to know the ins and outs of the movie scene from which that saying is taken.

Here... Here is a pick of a guy I once knew, not long ago passed away, who was a fishing buddy of the great Lee Marvin. That guy (not Marvin) taught me all I know about Martinis. His name was 'Martin,' as it happens. And he was a Fisher.

That's Martin, there, Bill, on the right next to Lee.
Obviously it was taken when they were both 'young enough.'
And by the way, thanks for EVERYTHING Bill re the little 'episode'
recently. You know how grateful we all are.

Why The Future - Because Nostalgia

What are we working towards?

What is the vision we hold in our minds, that we are endeavoring to construct some material components of, in order to realize that vision in the physical now?

Am I nostalgic? Yes. Of course. I experienced the high life in an elevated as-yet-still Colonial and then yet again, privateer, corporate social milieu - and that was many decades ago.

I think this works as design - it's modern, slightly futuristic,
but it's also authentic as a reflection of what it's supposed to be.
And I do think it is 'luxury.'

Those parts of it that I have an affection for, were very good parts indeed. The only things I saw that were negative - for the most part - were the unbreakable (and insane, as far as I was concerned) intent that quite a lot of people had, to engage in political and financial corruption in order to 'get ahead;' but not just 'ahead' as in what the modern middle class does or attempts to do, but 'ahead in the upper echelons...' They wanted to have the titles, the social position, the reverence that a handful of others appeared to command. And I most certainly saw the poverty of the outre. 

There was ugliness - as there still is. But there was the simply glorious, too.

Today, for me, the thing which stands out the most about the 'glory,' is its authenticity. If you have a lot of money today, and you are from the recent decades, you may not even know, what authenticity is... You see you can't substitute a synthetic simulacrum for something that carries a name, and a description of what it is - or is meant to be - and a manifesto of what function it performs, simply because the modern volume demand means there is not enough of the real thing to go around: you can't use a substitute, and pay the price of the genuine article, and think you are experiencing the thing.

'White musk' - is fake, you see. It isn't 'musk' at all. It's a synthetic chemical molecule made in an industrial laboratory.

And why is that a bad thing? Well it isn't a bad thing - it's just not the thing; and also it can't do the same thing, that the original genuine article can.

The characteristics of life style, of living, in the world, is changing, and will continue to change, and at some point widely deliver an experience of human life, of human society, of modern life style to many people that is a direct reflection of technology and advancement.

And there will be plenty of people with lots of money who will only assume they are living the high life, and they will not be - but you might be (living a very high life)...

One simple case example is to do with modern fragrances, aftershaves, perfumes (and by extension flavorings in alcohol and wines and other food and beverages). You see, yes, the modern chemistry lab can render amazing molecules that mimic sensations and feelings and memories about places and things. But no, they are not the things themselves. And they are not because modern industrial chemistry has a long way to go to comprehend the mechanisms of sensation, and memory especially emotional memory, and the electromagnetic dynamic mechanisms of molecular communication systems. The revered perfume expert Luca Turin (worked for the US Military under a research grant at some point...) has the best grasp of what these mechanisms are, and he is just about the only individual whose work reaches the public; others are under wraps by big industry and the military.

'By the fireplace'

You'll be paying BIG money for a European brand name men's fragrance product - such as for instance something from Maison Margiela's 'Replica' line. I cannot even say that a large component of that price is going to marketing, because I don't think it is. Maison Margiela is a brand which produces fashion for women, some fashion for men, and only has the fragrance line 'on the side' even though it is regarded as a really important modern perfume and fragrance brand. But it's not their main thing.

So, you can have a bottle that literally does smell like 'by the fireplace,' or 'at the jazz club,' or 'at the barbers.' And very clever it is, what they do; no doubt about it at all.

And you will encounter many reviewers talk about these products the same way traditionally people did about complex perfumes and French Fashion/Designer House fragrances.

But they are not the same kinds of thing; these new things are molecular constructions that are simulations of something else. And so the experience you will have when wearing them, or using them, is different by great gulfs of sensation, when compared to the real thing.

But what is this 'real thing' you are speaking about, John?

And we'll talk about that side of it in more detail in the next article. 

Rusbridger And The Money Trail

As one of our readers pointed out via a linked article he posted in his comment (see 'Wreck Stuff' blog article here) - there is such a thing as 'over-fit' where people drawing conclusions from theories that could be seen as 'conspiracy theories,' needlessly include 'hot button' things extraneous to what is required to make the actual theory fit into the observed picture.

Over-fit can be misleading. And the fact of being misled at all could take you away from the critical, even the sometimes dangerous aspects.

I mean why do we talk about any of these kinds of political things at all, really? You know - why at all, anyway?

Well, it is because they have a crucial part to play in understanding what money is doing at any given geopolitical 'time.'

Can the price of gold rise? Can and will the price of silver rise? Can BitCoin rise more? What is the future of digital currencies? What about inflation or deflation? ...And so on.

Alan Rusbridger - the chief managing editor of The Guardian at the time Edward Snowden was leaving the West with his information, and Chelsea Manning handing over troves of material to Julian Assange - is a very sophisticated (and important) example of the strategic analysis dangers of 'over-fit' to any 'theory.'

Alan Rusbridger - when he was chief editor
at The Guardian

Rusbridger basically 'let Assange down.' He 'backed him in,' as far as to get Assange to work through The Guardian as the privileged mainstream conduit, and then dumped him when Rusbridger (along with some other big name media corporations) chose to bend to the conditions and controls of the US Intel agencies' panoply concerning the most significant Manning-origin data trove.

Now Rusbridger is one of the most intelligent people in the whole world today; no question. But he is conflicted by his elevated position, and his previous 'good relations' with the US Intel people and government. He has wealth and he has lifestyle and he has position. Everyone can have an ego and even if Alan Rusbridger would like to keep his own ego 'on balance' just how do you turn on your previous 'friends' let's call them, and say to everyone, well, those guys are criminals and cold-blooded murderers who acted with no legitimacy in certain cases...?

That kind of stand takes moral backbone which can see the peril of the likely consequences, and still stand up straight.

This is not 'conspiracy' - not any kind of dark conspiracy, which is needed to explain things: this is stock standard ordinary daily lifestyle impact decisions with a moral dimension.

Rusbridger would lose money, power, friends, reputation among the elite - in short, everything he was enjoying - for being a journalist who acted 'without fear or favor.'

Typical engineer's or consulting manager's conveyance...

In Australia, there are opaque rules called 'Journalist Information Warrants' which are roughly-speaking, similar to the US FISA Court warrants; except that these also empowered Federal Police to intimidate reporters, journalists, basically anyone who has any sensitive material that is regarded as 'to be kept secret' by government (and of course, which could or might damage the reputation and/or power of the government at that given time).

'The money trail' just leads to people who are in love with money. For me, because they are illegitimately using government mechanisms of power to suppress knowledge going to the public (at basic minimum) - it's not their money; it's yours.

Now... We can get money ourselves too, you know. If we knew what game others were playing at and that we needed to start 'playing against' them. Even though others are continuously seeking to have it all for themselves all the time.
  
Yeah... Why do I get the feeling things are about to change in ways the 'elite' and the mindless drones who have been propping them up all these decades, do not have the wit to perceive is coming down the pipeline?
