Freedom - A Personal Voyage

Today until early evening I am identifying as Alexander the Great, former king of Macedonia. I studied under Aristotle for three years, before becoming a brilliant military leader and establishing a great but short-lived empire, stretching from Greece to northwestern India.

From evening until the mid-morning of tomorrow I will then be identifying as a well-respected sports journalist writing for the Sunday Times. I have a passion for all sports, and, it has been noted, quite a considerable vocabulary. I have a particular interest in regarding sportspersons from a psychological perspective. I once read a book on postcolonialism which was eye opening.

This above was probably the greatest ever interaction between the mainstream media and a political representative.

Factions

“Who would you have been for: the Guelphs or the Ghibellines?”
“The who!?”
“You know in the medieval period in the city-states of central and northern Italy they were two factions: one supporting the Pope, and the other supporting the Holy Roman Emperor. Which side would you have been on?”
“And which one was which?”
“What do you mean?”
“Which group was supporting the Pope, and which one was supporting the Holy Roman Emperor?”
“I’m not sure.”

Whispers, Acting, Thoughts


As things get ever weirder with the freak show of “Joe Biden” as shown above, I have a few thoughts to try to get down. As shown pretty clearly here - https://wwwinabstentia-andrewk.blogspot.com/2021/06/consistency.html - this man is not the real Biden, who presumably, in an earthly sense, is no more. This if new to the thought of course sounds crazy,  but given the clip above and many other ones, it’s clear we’re already in the land of the madhouse, and so whether it is Biden or an actor having taken his place doesn’t really make things a whole lot weirder. But just to reiterate, you can trust your eyes and your brain: below really are two different people, it is not the same person. “But he might have got plastic surgery to change his ears.” Oh right yeah. It took years off him. They also, to add, don’t talk like the same person. 







Photos 1 and 4 are not the same person as photos 2 and 3.
Why the cabal behind pushing him forward have gone down this path is crazy, but then again they really are crazy in a diabolical sense, even if generally the logic of their actions has been very effective in the terrains of worldly power. It was perfectly obvious long before the US election that this man was utterly unfit for office, but the blatant evidence of this was and has been covered up by the media in general as best as possible - in absolute contrast to their treatment of Donald Trump.

Now though as we see with such clips as above, with such behaviour the unhinged  reality is spilling out beyond the possibilities of containment. The fake media perhaps are forced by pressure of circumstances to in some degree address the weirdness, even though they presumably will just try to laugh it off. But what is going on with “Biden” himself here?

Firstly we see from loads of examples that he has some kind of degenerative mental condition. Beyond even this condition though, I think things have got a bit unexpectedly awkward for the deep state/cabal/whatever we call them. Biden’s role is to be a puppet, to perform the role allotted him by his masters, but there is still a real person in there with his inner drives and inevitable yearnings for self-assertion. 

Someone who would take on this role of pretending to be Biden would in his core have to be corrupt, as in lacking any integrity. It’s not something a remotely healthy honest person would accept. One quick related thought is that there is something about acting to begin with, in terms of voiding one’s own psyche and taking on the energy of an alternative psyche, that is potentially quite dubious - especially as it gets taken to obsessive method actor levels. Not that this is has to be the case, and of course acting can be a genuine exploratory art form, but at the same time by acting’s very nature there is bound to be a lot of psychological unhealthiness in that world. It naturally lends itself to a blurring of reality, and is an inevitable enclave for the narcissistic spectrum, of people fragile in their real selves, escaping into alternative realities, and desirous of soaking up admiring attention of an audience.

And specific to this Biden person is that he didn’t take on this role presumably simply for money. He is presumably some relative nobody, and this is the chance for incredible attention from the outside world. He keeps saying “I’m going to get into a lot of trouble” whenever he goes a little off the path and answers, (or tries to answer) unscripted questions. He is a puppet and he will get in trouble with his masters, whoever particularly they are.  So why is he wilfully getting himself into this trouble? I think, particularly after going off to an international summit and being in this environment, he is torn between playing his role as best he can, and his pretty screwed up ego going into orbit with all the attention. They want to minimise him as best as possible, not take unscripted questions and so on, while he has a yearning in the opposite direction beyond the script, of maximising his performance, and the celebration of himself. And so with this crazy, creepy whispering he’s actually getting cocky about things, and trying to swagger in this exaltation of himself - and of course because he is crazy and creepy, these dominant traits like above are seeping out for all to see. He really will get into trouble for these deviations, but at times he can’t help himself! So all concerned have this to deal with.

Renegade Soundwave Leftfield Remix



From 1994. The comment that seems to stand out from the YouTube page (from a different upload of the same song) is “Whenever I need to use my martial arts skills to kill a load of sexy vampires in slow motion, this is on my headphones.”
Obviously not high on melody, but certainly top heavy on hypnotic swagger.

Night Fell

Then night just fell as they came out of the wood and were about to slip down Aubignane vale. It was their old friend the night, whom they knew and loved, night with her arms all wet, like a washerwoman, night bespattered with sparkling dust, carrying the moon.

Second Harvest Jean Giono, 1930.

Police Chief


A proud moment for Police Chief Murray, Mary or Murphy.

Not only did it take three attempts to arrive finally at presumably the correct name, the police chief also in this tiny segment had to be relocated verbally from Baltimore to Baton Rouge. So two attempts to get the place right, three attempts to get the name right. With persistence though and a stout heart we see that we can triumphantly overcome all obstacles, even perhaps potentially embarrassing ones such as difficulties in reading.

Consistency

 Consistency is a lot to ask of anyone, and maybe is not even necessarily always a good thing - the ability to discard old unsatisfactory patterns and beliefs and adopt new ones may be very healthy rather than being stuck like a robot in the same mode of being forever. However, one area we might reasonably expect relative consistency from someone is in the shape of their ears. These features should be pretty stable and consistent, even if our body may sag a little in places as it ages.


Here above is Joe Biden, and down below we are reliably informed is also Joe Biden, though it seems with a different set of ears - or at least a different right ear. Below him is again Joe Biden, sporting those same ears, but underneath that Joe Biden we see what seems to be the first pair of ears above make another appearance.





Earlobes are either ‘attached’ in which case they are attached to the side of the head, or ‘detached’ where they are only connected to the ear itself. Mr Biden appears to inhabit a very unusual spectrum where sometimes his earlobes are attached and sometimes they are detached. It appears from a little looking that images of the younger Biden all show detached lobes, while in more recent years it seems to have become less predictable what form they will take. 

Is this some special adaptive skill Mr Biden has developed over the course of his political career, or is there some other key to the mystery? Could it have something to do with his dementia? 

You might also notice that when Joe’s earlobes become more attached to his head, the gap between his mouth and nose extends, whilst his nose itself shrinks. More anatomical mysteries. His voice and manner of speaking also change quite significantly once these changes have occurred.

The Engine Room of Truth

 


Another Kind of Love


By John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, from which Peter Green and John McVie left to form Fleetwood Mac.

Coal Mining

Many years ago  Joe Biden’s attempt to become US President failed abysmally after he was discovered to have plagiarised a speech from the British Labour Part leader, Neil Kinnock. Plagiarism might not be so bad, but in a display of off-the-scale weirdness and shameless lack of concern with truth, Biden decided also to insert the Kinnock family background of working within coal-mining into the story of the Biden family. Joe liked this family background, even if it wasn’t specifically his family background. He admits this below in 2004: “It turned out I didn’t know anybody in the coal mines. I tried that crap. It didn’t work.”


Well below we see from this recent international summit, Joe has put his great grandfather back in the coal mines! He’s either forgotten or simply doesn’t care that he already admitted it was all made up. The effortless ease with which he lives in a world of total fabrication. Besides the lies, the eloquence of the overall delivery is all that we’ve come to expect. He also uses his now much used line, “I’m going to get into a lot of trouble.”  Who is he going to get in trouble with? Maybe he knew the vicious truth hounds at outlets of integrity like CNN and the BBC were surely going to call him out on his lies, but he just couldn’t stop himself. The roots of coal mining are just too deep in his blood.

Dragonfly


And below a live performance of the same song by Danny Kirwan, dating from shortly after Peter Green had left Fleetwood Mac. It’s maybe a pity the exciting new visual effects weren’t reined in a bit.



The Possessed?

One point I’ve alluded to, tying in with Dostoevsky’s novel Demons or alternatively translated, The Possessed, is people at the cutting edge of extremes in political areas may be genuinely possessed. That’s crazy talk! I’m not going to make a big argument in its favour but I’ll just have a little look at some emails that have come to light from Democrat Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot. This is someone who recently announced she would enact a policy of giving interviews only to journalists ‘of colour’ - which is unarguably racist. How any democratic populace could accept something so bizarre is kind of beyond me, but anyway. Such a policy is utterly toxic, but how toxic really is the mind, and the group-mind behind this? In terms of the answer, feel free to substitute  “seriously unhinged” for “possessed” if it feels more comfortable. I think to be honest you’d have to be seriously unhinged yourself to find this remotely sane behaviour, and is of course spectacularly reminiscent of  Jack Nicholson’s character in The Shining after he goes completely nuts. Imagine getting these kinds of messages from your boss at your workplace! Interesting little chats during break times, I would imagine, in the absence of said boss.
Also it seems worth wondering that within certain corridors of power, have such people as this been approved of and elevated to positions of authority in spite of being deranged or because they are deranged.

Revival

Are you a white progressive liberal? Do you feel deep shame because of your whiteness and all the pain you have caused? Are you embarrassed to leave the house because of your skin colour?  Have you thrown out any mirrors from your home to avoid seeing your reflection? 

If the answer is yes to these questions, this is both understandable and laudable. You are at the cutting edge of social awareness. However, there is a solution to your guilt and trauma . . . 


It’s time for a revival. Blackface is coming back.

Truths

“I was reading some interesting stuff the other day, and I was wondering if it was really true or not. How do you find out if something pretty controversial is true or not?”
“Well the easiest way is to do an internet search on the subject, and if the result shows a few of those fact-checking sites like Snopes or whatever are going to the trouble of denying it, then there’s a very good chance it’s true.”
“Oh it’s that easy?”
“Yeah. You don’t even need to read the article. You just know that if their world is threatened by some ‘truth’, well then, however they might try to make it look, it probably really is a truth. Otherwise they probably wouldn’t be much interested in it in the first place.” 
“Oh you mean like when they fact-checked and denied claims the Wuhan lab researching and experimenting on Coronaviruses had something pretty specific to do with the Coronavirus which came out of Wuhan?”
“Yeah, that would be a good example. And then later, perhaps after lots of kicking and screaming, the ‘fact’ ceases to be a fact. And of course they could never have known such a thing was a fact in the first place.”
“So they should probably be called bullshit artists rather than fact checkers?”
“Probably yeah.”

There’s Something Happening


 

North Korean versus US Indoctrination - Which is More Extreme?

 I posted this recently of KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov from the mid 1980s, and talking of how incredibly quick and widespread was the leftist indoctrination of the US. https://wwwinabstentia-andrewk.blogspot.com/2021/05/kgb-informant-details-woke-subversion.html

Here is a defector from North Korea and escapee from sex-slavery talking of how having got to the US and loving the country, she finds to her horror the indoctrinating and thought control within an Ivy League campus is as bad or perhaps even more oppressive than growing up under the system of North Korea.


But why focus on the US so much? Because there isn’t much hope for the rest of the world if the US goes fully under. And there is a genuine and growing virile awakening and awareness there now of what is happening and what is at stake. There is a quote from George Soros, one of the most heralded figures in the push towards the Great Reset and a system of absolute tyranny: “The main obstacle to a just world order is the United States.” You’d have to be very naive to bow down to such a man’s notion of what equates to a just world order; and that quote in itself shows how important the US is with all this.

Terrifying

 “Which are you more terrified about - the COVID or the global warming?”
“I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. It’s hard to make up my mind. They’re both terrifying in different ways. It’s very exciting actually.”
“Yeah, I know what you mean. One day I seem to be more frozen in fear about the COVID, but then I kind of come out of it and start to look on the bright side, but then I remember about the global warming and I go into a panic, and I realise how selfish I was to be just focused on the whole virus stuff. I mean I might die from the virus but our children might die from the global warming. So it’s hard to know. Like you say, they’re both terrifying in different ways.”
“The international terrorism stuff seems a long time ago now, doesn’t it?”
“And the Brexit thing as well.”
“And the Cold War.”
“Yeah, yeah, that’s a long time ago. But there’s always something else that comes along once one crisis that’s going to destroy us fades away.”
“That seems to be the way of it all right.”

Which is Mightier

“You know that expression, “The pen is mightier than the sword” - do you think it’s true?”
“Well, it probably depends on the situation in which you find yourself. If someone was coming at me with a sword, I’d probably prefer to also have a sword rather than say a pen. But if I was sitting an exam, then I’d prefer to have a pen rather than a sword. It would be more appropriate.”
“They probably wouldn’t let you into the examination hall anyway if you had a sword in your hand.”
“Well they might be too intimidated to stop me, but even so I’d still prefer to have a pen in that situation.”

Fauci, the Face of Fraud

Seriously, some people are so obviously, just by looking at them, soaked in falseness. This impression may be added to considerably when they open their mouths.



By contrast we can flash back a year and a bit ago and see this below. I like the first highlighted comment on the YouTube page, ‘The seamless transition of the media from calling everyone a “conspiracy theorist” to “Yeah, we knew that all along” is both appalling and impressive.’ 
I know what he means but rather than it equating to ‘impressive,’ it’s really just their shamelessness. What might be described as impressive would be the overcoming of something, but for them, or at least the media referred to here in its essence, there is it seems no inner obstacle to overcome, no past to haunt them! In terms of inner substance, there’s almost nothing there, and so those transitions are pretty effortless if called for.

So anyway why did the vast majority of the mainstream media and big tech basically aggressively assume the roles of propagandists and protectors of the Chinese Communist Party, an unarguably toxic, tyrannical regime, and by definition an ideological enemy of the democratic world?

A Walk

 Naturally I haven’t written this yet. Well maybe not so naturally, I could I suppose have already written it on paper and now be merely transcribing it. 
I’m not so sure how much sense all that makes. Anyway we’ll proceed as if I haven’t already written it and see where it goes. I think the artist Paul Klee described drawing or a style of drawing as taking a line for a walk. So we’ll see where this walk goes, even if there isn’t time for it to go very far, and who knows, maybe the destination might end up completely different than one allegedly already arrived at - as claimed let’s say in some notebook or other written by someone.  Or maybe written by more than just some one, maybe it’s been revised and corrected by various entities, that is to say people, they poured over and calculated everything and arrived at perfection.
 But then I came along and didn’t end up at the correct destination. There must have been a mistake in the calculations, or maybe I just took a wrong turning somewhere. That’s probably more likely. There were signs and arrows pointing the way, but I didn’t notice them -  maybe I was pouring over some difficult problem of my own - and ended up God knows where.
Okay, time constraints, reality ... maybe I’ll come back to this later, but for now this is where the walk ended up.

Good, Evil, Babel, Faith


This will just be short, maybe quite random points rather than any kind of an essay.

Besides the biological aspects, the two most core aspects to us I mentioned being the instinct for language and the intellect as a whole; and also love and the instinct for moral truth, for a sense of good, and a wish for good to triumph over evil. The mind and the heart. The heart or emotional world is much the more powerful one, and even an intellectual ideal must go out of its way to harness the emotional drives to acquire any real force.

Evil isn’t simply a deficit of goodness, but is a pole of attraction in itself. Try explaining things like extreme child abuse or extermination camps without it. The nature of such phenomena lie way beyond things like intellectual error.  

 The Tower of Babel instinct: to create truth and ascend to heaven through our own independent efforts. The further one ‘ascends’ such towers, the more divorced from the heart, and the more artificial and ultimately diabolical the towers become. The deeper truth of socialism is atheism, and which is precisely such a tower.

Think of by contrast breathing. We are not creating this sustenance through our efforts. It is given which we accept on faith. So faith doesn’t mean overcoming of doubt. It is simply acceptance of being. Similarly language if used right is imbued with truth by its nature. It is not creating truth. Even mathematics discovers intrinsic truths, it doesn’t create them. If it created them, that would imply they were not truths before their ‘creation’ - for example, Pi or the circumference of a circle. This truth is unveiled, not created.

Identifying

Today I am identifying as a vaguely educated professional footballer playing for Manchester something or other for roughly 350,000 British pounds a week. I am highly socially aware and motivated. If I don’t receive my weekly wage packet very soon, I will know there is no justice in this world.

Brief

 This will be brief. In the future? Yes, and I suppose in the present. It will be brief in the present. 
It didn’t take long for things to get unusual. That’s what you get for refusing to harness your brain to the serious and accepted things of reality. Your thought processes become degenerate and yield strange fruits. And someone might come along and pick up one of those fruits and become infected with the strangeness. Imagine my sense of guilt after that. But maybe you’re sceptical about my sense of guilt, which is understandable. I’m the one who yielded such fruit in the first place. If I was so worried about someone coming along and tasting of it, what was I doing yielding and strewing it around the place? I’d have been more careful. And even if it it important for me to let such outpourings as these out of my inner self, to release them, that doesn’t have to mean I have to leave them around the place for other selves to inadvertently encounter them. 
Unfortunately for now I haven’t time to ponder this further, and will instead just leave it lying around.

Spielberg, An Honourable Man


 For quite a while until six or so months ago I was avoiding news and current affairs pretty diligently and successfully, so I missed this above story and video, from its original airing a year and a bit ago the first time around. It seems the absolute perfect embodiment of the spiritual core of Hollywood, and the wealthy ‘privileged’ left. You can’t get much more privileged, you might have thought, than to grow up a child of Steven Spielberg. That should be a roadmap for success, the best of educations, and protected from the harsher realities of life. Instead, amidst this ultra-privileged life, she is it seems a serious victim of child abuse, and later as a young adult goes on to decide to make porn videos - and to add whist being engaged to be married. I think we can be pretty certain this career choice is not coming from a healthy inner place. And what is the wonderful, protective and loving father Mr Spielberg doing about all this? Well he’s busy making a film about the dangers of Donald Trump. What a man. What a father. What an utter ... 
Just to add, not that I’ve kept up with his body of work, but I don’t think he’s made any films about the dangers, especially for children, of being around the environs and people of Hollywood.

If someone is experienced as a real threat to the world and values of these kinds of people, the chances are they are doing something very right.

Lovely People



Antifa and BLM are lovely people. I think we should all take the knee in support of such groups as often as possible. This is also well worth a watch below on these people from a Portland based black policeman, and he mentions there about how without roots these people are in their ties to community and history - and that reminded me of a line from Karl Marx, “If you can cut people off from their history, they can be easily persuaded." Thus, within this ideology in its broad sense, all of history, including all culture, is simply summed up as something shameful to cast off. That’s it! 

And that’s in turn now evoked the thought of propaganda, which Merriam Webster Dictionary defines as “the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.”
Well within socialism, there is literally nothing but propaganda! I’m not using hyperbole here. Nothing is allowed any independent, intellectual life apart from its place within the furthering of socialism. All of history, all emanations of thought and culture, including all aspects of the spirit, must be interpreted in such a way that they are either the products of an enemy to overcome, or, and this is a much smaller field, part of that which furthers the cause.

93

The world may be in a state of great turmoil and division, but, regardless of colour, creed or even servile woke insanity, one thing that unites us all is a love of the golden age of electronic dance music in the forms of tunes such as Love Stimulation by Humate, and Fragile by LSG both from 1993.




And in a similar vein and from the same year, Remind from Orbital:



Rising to the Surface

 “There’s a war going on, and it’s not just physical. It’s much deeper than that, and is particularly now essentially at a very dramatically divided spiritual level. On two planes of good and evil.”
“I can to some degree accept there’s war on Machiavellian levels - a perpetual struggle between the “nobles” and their will to dominate and oppress, and the people to resist oppression - that’s even all intellectually quite respectable - but I don’t really go along with some kind of spiritual warfare. We don’t have to go beyond just basic psychological and animal drives. Are you actually trying to say there’s people acting as foot soldiers for some demonic agenda, and who may even be in some sense possessed? That’s just ridiculous.”

Utterance

If you have a thought and, even if it’s worth remembering, if you don’t utter it quickly enough, it will probably be forgotten. Forgotten by who? Well first of all, forgotten by yourself, and after you, everyone else. Well everyone else wouldn’t know it in the first place to forget it but you know what I mean. Their ability to know it and afterwards forget it is dependent on you being faithful to it and uttering it, say writing it down, giving it some kind of material substance so it can appear and dwell for a little in the public world rather than being confined, because of your laziness, for a few brief moments in the private world of your mind. And if we are too lazy to bother uttering the thoughts that come along, giving them substance, then we’ll probably find we won’t be graced with their presence too often, that is the presence of the thoughts worth remembering. The ones not worth remembering though, we’ll probably have an abundance of them.

X22 Report - COVID Exposure, Fauci

 Brilliant episode of X22 Report I’m half way through, focusing especially so far on massive exposures about COVID fraud involving Anthony Fauci. Just to mention, from a few clips I’ve seen the politician, also a doctor, Rand Paul has played an incredible job in grilling and pushing Fauci into a corner of late in whatever hearings have been going on. Walter Scott’s line of “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive” comes to mind, that since there is no truth or reality behind the lies, it is very vulnerable to attack if real pressure with real consequences can be imposed. Each lie can only make the defence weaker and weaker since it does not have reality behind it. Since Fauci has basically been exposed at an extremely serious and criminal level, the issue then is the ability to impose those consequences. Nothing ever comes easy here though, and there really is a war being waged. Unfortunately for the Deep State though, the opposition aren’t just obediently lying down to die!

BLM, Socialism, National Socialism


 Good video here where a former American BLM leader who had genuine idealism in the cause of improving black lives, and presumably the wellbeing of society as a whole has left the group, after its blatant toxicity became all too blatant. How it has as a core ‘value’ the attacking of the traditional family as an enemy of its ideology even though it is simply unarguably clear that black youths thrive to an incomparably greater degree within a traditional family structure, and conversely are endlessly more likely to struggle where the traditional family structure is broken. 

The other example Turley gives is of a Spanish teacher cancelling herself from practicing her profession because of her sin of being white. Critical race theory which is at the centre of this progressivism is unarguably racist. Remember the identity of the race being denigrated isn’t supposed to matter! Once a race is being negatively targeted, that’s racism. This is all obvious stuff but what I want to try to elucidate and what came to mind for me is the contrast or connection between socialism in the form of communism and Nazism, or National Socialism as the German Nazi Party was officially called. I’m not going to try to get into the intricacies of Nazism, and to what degree this “right-wing” movement was genuinely socialist, and which route is actually a bit of a red-herrring. One of the famous drives is the Will to Power, and Aldous Huxley wrote that, “Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen draw over their will to power.” So this psychological drive is far more to the point than the kind of bureaucratic nature of the idealism - the particular make-up of the supposed ideal state the political movement is driven towards achieving. Those are likely to be superficial intellectual aesthetics that lots of words will be wasted on, but it is the drive for power, and more and more of it, that is the core. 

And so left-wing radicalism and right-wing radicalism both despise democratic systems of government, and both seek one-party totalitarian rule by of course themselves. So the psychological essence is basically identical, and the doctrinal differences not much more than window-dressing. It means little more than within each system certain elements of society are more likely to be heads of the queue in getting utterly screwed over first. The communists focused on class struggle, and so the middle-classes and upwards were the enemies of the people. They were also allegedly internationalist in scope, even if constrained by realities in having to work within national structures. The National Socialists were far more focused on good and evil divided along racial/ethnic lines with Jews, gypsies, Slavs and so on as prime targets.

And here finally is where I was trying to get to. Socialism is corrosive in its essence, and needs ‘privileged’ elements to serve as targets for negative emotions. It is always focused on oppression. What is interesting or striking now is that we’ll call left-wing socialism or progressivism is now shifting targets, and is now blatantly moving into the racial territories that National Socialism focused on. They focused on  particularly the Jews. The progressives now seem actually strongly focused in their direction again, but also whites in general are the most targeted area, and white males particularly. It’s all toxic garbage, but it is interesting to see how they have largely moved away from class struggle, which is obviously felt to no longer be an especially useful target, and have shifted into the racial areas which was the focus of their supposed ideological enemies, the National Socialists. Gender has been very much added to the mix as something to exploit also.

Just a final reminder that the very name Antifa is supposed to be Anti-Fascist, and I’m just recalling something I wrote before about such convenient ‘oppositions’:

Evil was losing respectability, so it divided itself into two halves, and each one justified the other.

No Existence

“Imagine if there was no existence - what would it be like?”
“What do you mean what would it be like? How could it be like anything?”
“I suppose it would be very boring.”
“There wouldn’t be anyone to be bored!”
“But if there was someone, they’d probably be bored.”
“If there was no existence?”
“Yes. And them stuck inside of the middle of it.”

Greta

“What would be a great sign that some agenda being pushed on people is tyrannical, fraudulent garbage?”
“Well unfortunately that kind of stuff would be very cleverly concealed and so really, really hard to spot. Maybe if they resorted to using a naive schoolgirl as some kind of focal-point and spearhead of the agenda, then that would obviously let everyone know that they were being treated like idiots. But sadly, shameless as those kind of people are, things would never be that glaringly obvious.”
“But what if the schoolgirl sailed back and forth across the Atlantic?”
“What?!”
“I don’t know where that came from but it just came to mind for some reason. I didn’t get much sleep last night.”

Seefeel


 Industrious from Seefeel’s 1993 album Quique. And as much maybe for the spectacle of their bass player as anything, then below live in Moscow in 1994. I think he might have had a couple of unusually strong coffees before playing.



Think

“What do you think of the brainwashing media?”
“Ah come on now, that’s a loaded question. You’re assuming I think.”

Nourishment

I’m not getting out of here until I come up with something written. And where am I? That’s my business. I could stop now, and yes, that would be something written, but it wouldn’t exactly be something to be proud of. I can’t imagine too many readers would go away feeling enriched by the whole experience. “My mind and soul have been nourished. I can now move on with the rest of my day.” It’s doubtful anyone would be coming out with those kind of words. Though, maybe, who knows, someone might come out with them, out of the kindness of their heart, but even there deep down they could hardly believe in the nourishment. And, for all their efforts, all that instead might in the long run even breed cynicism in such a person: “Does he really think it’s worth my time reading that kind of rubbish!?” It’s maybe not voiced, but it’s bound to be down there somewhere covered over in the depths. 
But anyway, there’s things to do, and so, whatever kind of nourishment this all is, here it is, written.
