Zeitgeist Follow up: Waking Life

Alex Jones Rant



Theory and action

The most important post I have ever made: ZEITGEIST

This is a follow up post to yesterdays Psychological test post.

Ok, people of Earth. Here it is. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's not a commercial product meant to stimulate you as a consumer. It's not a biased hatchet job meant to pit US against THEM. It's an honest wake up call from a neighbor telling you that the house is on fire. It's nearly two hours long, so watch it when you can afford the time. Or watch it in segments.

In my opinion, this film is more important than Loose Change, An Inconvienient Truth, Sicko, ETC. It's beautifuly done. Well edited and not redundant. It's time to stop arguing and start arming ourselves with relevent information.



Go to Google Video to watch it full screen.

You can also find it in sections on YouTube (they keep getting pulled, for some reason, but they also keep getting reposted).

Thanks for playing.

Zeit·geist [tsahyt-gahyst]

Hi.
Ok.

Now watch this video clip from NBC and play along with the exercise. Don't read anything else in this entry until you watch the whole video.



Now scroll down for Gonzo/Expert analysis....


















Ok. Now we see that the Whie Shirt misdirection has led us to edit out the obvious beast that stands center frame.

Now how do we apply this to daily life?

"Watch the white haired heiress...Watch the White Collar "politicons"...Watch the prescribed distraction while you are robbed of your human rights, dignity, and future by the greedy beasts parading in unlikely costumes in plain view.


And no, this is not a black/white thingy. There is a full spectrum of mindfuck going on here.

Mike Gravel rocks. This is, by far, my favorite political ad I have ever seen.

"Rock"



It may not win him the democratic nomination, but it confirms why I took to him after the first democratic debate. It's a bold move. Compare the above video to the one below. Though the one below is from a Japanese game show, it's indicative of what marketers have stooped to in order to draw viewers in from the millions of videos available on the web. Warning: the video below may be the most bizarre clip you have ever seen. Ironic that I found them both last night within minuites of each other:

If you haven't seen Waking Life yet, you are missing one of the best movies of the last century. It's old news to some, I know, but easy access to this film is difficult to come by in many places in this world. Namely, Oklahoma. I wanted to rent it for my nieces last time I was in the heartland, but couldn't find it anywhere. I talked to one librarian, and she said it dissappeared each time she replaced it. A community that censors togeather stays togeather...

Speaking of censorship:


The aniversary of the Peoples Revolt in Tieneman Square just passed. In this Documentary on the man that stood in front of the tanks, I discovered that current students that attend the school that started the revolt had never seen the picture of Tank Man, nor did they know much about the revolt. Mind boggling.


Just watched a great documentary on the only Heavy Metal band to come out of Baghdad. "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" is an amazing look inside Iraq, and the outside that the Iraqi's have been forced to flee to. These documentary film makers are my heros, just as much as those young men in the band, Acrassicauda. Part 1 of 7 above from YouTube (You can find a better resolution version of all 7 parts [5 to 6 min each], and extended clips @ VBS.TV



A strange little gem. This was a scene from a show that I had never seen, American Inventor. This clip struck me as a metaphor for what we, as a nation, could have done to George Bush and the Neo-Con agenda if representative politics still worked on a national level. In this clip, W and the Neo-Con base are represented by the Cowboy, and the four judges represent, say, a real representative Govenment.


Ok. One more Waking Life clip (I have a feeling I'll be posting them on a regular basis for a while).

The Game

I discovered that my computer will read to me. I highlighted a transcript of an old jounal from the Los Angeles years.

Sitting @ the Waimanalo bus stop. A large pidgin speaker sat down beside me on the bench.

“Dat good beeah?” he indicated the Red Bull in my hand. No, not beer. Energy Drink. I took the last glug and started to get up to throw it away.


“No no no, take a shot.” A pole partially obscured the trash can on the up wind side. I calculated the wind then threw it around the outside of the poll. Two points.

“Yea, ya made it.” He cheered. You always gotta take a shot, brah,. If ya miss you jus pick it up.”
