Deconstructing David Icke

"he who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man"
-Johnson

I really like David Icke. Not necesarilly for his predictable critique of everything right wing (everybody already knows we are ruled by lizards!) but because of the stunt he pulled in 1991 on TV. Dressed in a gawdy eighties style neon jumpsuit he declared on a talk show that he was the SON OF GOD, which got him much expected ridicule.

Not the craziest statement considering we might all be the children of god/nature (woops tones of grandeur there) but anyone who pretends to be anyone, even in the 90's without authoritive approval is obviously sacrilegious. This has been the style of talk show stunts everyday since then, he might of even been the pioneer. Especially with Jerry Springer and the likes, so it's hard not to consider that this decision on Icke's part wasn't premeditated. I mean look at that jumpsuit.. thats so deliberate Dave!! I'm deeply sorry for whatever turmoil you might of been going through with your marriage  but you didn't look like you were in any pain! Well anyways, it's just clothing.. but Icke has said it many times himself that anyone who can escape the psychological inset of public approval and always worrying of what others think is finally free to think and maybe do what they want (hopefully without escaping the responsibility of treating others with respect) and David is always a gentleman. So what do you do after everyone in the world laughs at you? You write books about how ridiculous those people are for following fascist dogmas so blindly with weak opiated materialistic smiles... and thats the profiteable trend now. Alex Jones is compareable the way he went through a crazy phase of ridicule with his blaring megaphone, and his stuff is questionable at times, (he looks like he could be a hard line left wing dictator when he turns red) but we like dissent these days in all forms. That's our pressure release valve for conformity.

David Icke is just an average intellectual guy who stumbled on an insight, acted on it, and likes to write about it. I like your style.

Schizophrenic P.O.V. # 23 : Smearing

Skin care companies back in their incarnation must of been looking hard for something cheap to spread on people's skin that wouldn't give rashes. It seems that many man made products don't give good results when smeering on our bodies, so they would of needed something like a genetic byproduct in large amounts that no one would need otherwise, such as .. FAT or some tree juice left over at the pulp and paper mill. When I get dry hands, or dry scalp, proctor and gamble or ponds, or any other company like them would have you believe that you are difficient in their product, like god on the third day of creation forgot to invent it, but the truth is dry hands and scalp come from being in contact with too many man made products, especially treated water. Chemicals are used to treat the water we bathe in because we have this inset corporately induced fear of germs (and our water is getting really messed up from this repeated process) and showering or bathing in this chlorine that sinks into our skin as any lotion would has an effect on our bodies, because things that kill germs in water also kill natural oils in skin. Rather then try and find a remedy to this, we capitalize on the wrong situation by making more products to mask the problem. Head and Shoulders like dandruff shampoos regulate the PH on our heads, and lotions give TEMPORARY relief from dry hands. Once you use the product it is addictive because the water always washes away the oils and proper PH balance, and then you need the product to try and restore it to a supposed better state. In short, your body loses it's innate ability to regulate it's pH level on the surface with all the cosmetic tampering so it surrenders to chaos. Smearing things on our skin is a form of encouraged insanity that makes alot of capital for some on the receiving end. Without seeing you naked I can tell you the softest healthiest skin is on your back where you can't reach it enough to mess it up.

This is why I am making my own lotion. A mixture of granulated fingernails, nose boogers, baby tears, norwegian clay, and dolphin sperm. I smear it all over my body before my chemical bath / shower and it protects me from the dangers of the sterilized world. It reverses my age, so now I look like Dr. Quinn medicine woman, Cher, and that woman on Seinfeld before she got old. Best of all I don't need to cover up my face anymore in make-up like some women are encouraged to, and I am proud to say I have now achieved some semblance or normal thanks to this realization.

Money Changers

Jesus rarely got this angry

I met JP Morgan in a dream of mine, and I asked him: "Why did you switch America over from a democracy to a capitalist system that exploits resources and people for profit?" and he replied

"we needed a system that was in check with and undermined human nature", and I said "maybe it's just a weight bringing out the primitive side of man and slowing his true evolutionary potential", then disgusted he said "don't try to tell me about human nature when the saviour was crucified, and we have seen so many bloody wars" and I thought, weren't those events brought on by the money changers?

Taking the edge off of pot smoking

Have you ever heard a pot smoker talk about their weed use, or try to justify and make sense of their plant addiction? I've heard them talk about how it takes the edge off of the speed of social progress etc, which I can relate to as a modern city dweller, worker, and socializer. It's called dope because thats what it does and its nice to just go low, or be stupid for a while when you have to be on your toes all the time in the "real" world. I mean, what if you have these instincts that would normally serve you well in a real setting but when you come to the city your instincts do nothing but bombard you with "this isn't right" and feelings of imbalance and warning as any animal or hybrid half animal would. The city isn't a very natural thing. It's a sort of simulation / manipulation, or production hub, where you must bend yourself into new shapes on an increasing daily basis to help make this product for the economy. Somehow you must convince yourself this is "reality" and you learn how to cope and accept it eventually. So when a pot smoker says it "helps take the edge off" I think cool well if it keeps you from turning into an anxiety stricken maniac like many I see (many who have turned to big pharma) then it's all good. I think well maybe thats the gift of such a plant that it can curb your instincts for just a while so you can learn to accept this massively unnatural way of living, and maybe.. just maybe.. enjoy yourself the way you deserve to. Sounds nice.

I had this thought the other night that some people are like those popper things, you know the ones you'd get in your cereal box and when they pop they kind of jump and it's so very exciting. Well you've probably heard the saying "I'm gonna pop!" before and my thought about that is well some people are stuck in a concave mode (introverted) and some people are already popped in a convex or extroverted mode, so it's only possible to really POPP! if you are a concave popper. But with every daily occurence even convex poppers bend inward occasionally, and concave poppers bend outwards depending on the severity of their experiences. Life as either one can be difficult and I can attest that it is truly possible to suddenly wake up one day and find you have changed from one to the other but it depends on who you are too. Sometimes it's good to bear all, and at other times it's good to be a fly on the wall. You also don't want to pop too much because it can wear you out.. but thats treading on another conversation to do with bi-polar / borderline diagnoses that doctors hand out frequently today. I'd like to hear a doctor say "no there's nothing wrong with you, and I'm not going to presribe twenty different corporate drugs for you to line my pockets, it's just society and the institution I work for thats messed up. Hope that clears everything up for you, now go home, try to ignore the lack of public confidence in our "elected" leaders, relax a little, and have a nice day".

A doctor could just as well say SMOKE THIS, then send you home, but I'm still sitting it out on the fence for this one. I've had many good times with my "chemo" friends but Marijuana users have a tendency to be really apathetic about EVERYTHING. "Yeah man, those people fighting in the middle east.. their just not getting good stuff, or yeah those control freeks in government that want to enslave us.. they need to change their dealer or grow homegrown." Thats their attitude about everything! Do you see how private interests behind the usefulness of boozing everyone up can easily get behind mass marijuana sales? I mean, when is anger or fear or anxiety ever justified?! Sure nobody likes these emotions but what if they are a very natural reaction to a very unnatural thing that is brewing underneath the bowels of the ruling class? Nature gets angry with storms and whatever to try and restore balance and maybe not enough lately. Will civil disobedience stop our government from building the "black box" in utah? How do you go to work everyday living with the possibility that you are helping to build a future of enslavement? Strange days indeed.

Well, anyways it's spring-time in Montreal now and we have protests every weekend almost resembling student parades and they are becoming increasingly profiteable for hot dog vendors! Pot smokers really digg that.

Timothy Leary and cyberdisease

I once read a book by an over the hill Timothy Leary praising the information age and the new generation of cybernuts for their ability to process millions of realities per minute. At the time I thought it was somewhat commendable for Leary to embrace modernity the way he habitually tries to welcome the unknown but now I realize how completely ridiculous it is for an acid wave guru hippy like him to praise the virtual world. I think his final days were a little obscured by clouds of schizophrenia. I've spoken to numerous cyerfreaks and heavy computer users of all sorts; web surfers, administrators, developers, various pencil pushers, and the likes who spend wayyy too much time infront of the screen taking in radiating waves of synthetic light and they share this opinion concerning its effects mentally. It strains your eyes, and reduces your attention span because every train of thought is interupted by another window of thought so frequently. There's no room for tangents of clarity. Infact a common side effect and trigger response to frequent computer use is brain freeze where your mind just periodically resets, and your forget what you were doing completely, like your mind stalls and resorts to some protection mode measure to prevent further damage. When this happens its time to recharge spiritually, physically, and metaphysically. Go outside and leave the technology behind for as long as possible to allow your psyche to heal. If it means changing your line of work, then so be it. Nothing is more important then your state of mind.. you dont want to fall into the grip of mental disease. Trust me it can get rough and you don't want to go there, no matter how much the paycheque.

The Virtual Economy

Ever notice how much emphasis there is on economy in the last ten years? Everything rides on the economy now, but where is it? Do we have eight out of ten, or maybe a B-, or a D+ ? Sometimes it feels like this word they throw around for stimulating growth where they see fit. Where can I check the state of the Canadian economy online? Is there somewhere that solidly grades our economy, where I can see this economy thing? We work for the economy, because if it fails then everything fails, but where the hell is it? The system of economy is quite simple, it's devised like a reward system, like a doggy biscuit. Because our country does not print it's own money (Bank of Canada is not accountable for digital money and electrons in circulation) we borrow it from someone else.. so depending on how our prime minister spends this money we get a good economy rating. Like in grade school! Simple right? If Harper kisses the right asses in trade talks, we are rewarded with some less worrisome economy figures to bring home to our parents. That's all. If we participate in the G8 and secure free trade then we will not be threatened with a bad economy like Brazil had theirs taken away by the world bank some time ago, or Greece. Just suck up Harper style to whoever your superiors are, and you'll get your bursaries and place on student council.

I've scoured the internet for Canada's economy advisory system and all I found was this ..

Yeah you remember that thang. You might recognize it from when George Bush was in power down south, and it's a scare system that has been recently decommissioned due to it's apparent stupidity. It's been replaced with another system that doesn't exist, except in the form of an email (when the economy is bad)

So how is the economy different then this chart above? They both exist in some virtual, non-physical / tangible form and are used to scare people into perpetual motion. Where would the world be without incentive for growth? Well incentive can come in the form of believing in your elected leaders and their wholesome purposes but since we don't have that any more, we have the word "economy" to toss around like a hot potato token ring. That, and a big depression epidemic when there is no public confidence in our system or leaders which is completely ignored and profited off of by privatized healthcare hacks with their happy pills.

It's not uncommon to see that the economy looks promisingly good, and then really really BAD on the same day! You can read this suave guy's opinion on economy, where there is suggestion that you'll find the answers in a crystal ball! How appropriate.

Long live Santa Claus! and the economy. Here is Stephen Harper's Christmas wish list! Enjoy!!

Notice the part in this document about the engineered "whatever's good for the economy" and the "planned to fail economy". Everything makes so much more sense now. No wonder Harper always looks so relaxed, he has the easiest job in the world.. just do whatever's good for the bloody economy!! and the ruling elite in Britain / Switzerland will send you a Christmas turkey with bells on.

Social Progress for the Myopians

Sitting out a Canadian winter is a constant reminder of how badly we need natural light to feel good. The sun, and the fresh air outside awakens something dormant inside us all. Myopia or near-sightedness, once believed to be a side effect of being smart, is a steadily rising problem. It seems the more we park ourselves in sterile indoor places, in front of short focal distances between us and books, TVs, and computers, the more our eye balls and brains bend out of shape. You might call myopia, along with allergies and a slew of other emerging problems, modernity disease. We're just not meant to live this way. Consider the iconic almost religious presence Future Shop has become in our lives. In Montreal it stands tall across from the St James church, and you can guess which one gets more action. There's something sardonic and sick about calling a store "Future Shop" and associating it with this idea that we are "experiencing the future" by shopping! Like a bar window that says "free beer tomorrow", are we there yet? Is this the future yet?! Of course not because the future will always be in the future, and the latest technology will never be made available to you low class peon schmucks at any price. There's this dreamy Utopian view of the future we were implanted with at a young age that keeps us buying into these cheaply made electronics from Taiwan that gauge out a significant portion from our wallets and much of our waking lives. Yet much like other things that keep us stupid (beer, war, cars, violence permitted on TV before showing people making love (oh the humanity!), TV, computer generated radio friendly music sung by a big boobed girl named Katie or Britney) technology is pushed major big-time to keep us indoors. Hollywood, heavily influenced by Nazi-era Germany is of course responsible for much of the entertainment that keeps us coming back to artificial light. Pair Hollywood up with IBM, Microsoft, At&T, CNN, GM, and Future Shop, and now you have one hell of a lot of myopia power. Two dimensional myopic children stuck indoors sucking intravenously off of this privately owned machine but most importantly, readily controlled and malleable to centralized command. What do you do when you soon get them all inside? YOU GENERATE FEAR TO GO OUTSIDE!! The terrorists are coming! The end of the world, the killer bees, the killer banks are coming!! You can bet your frilly underwear this is next on the list, but what if some of these people venture outside their bank owned future shop holes? You know.. protestors, vagrants, and the likes who disrespect public *ahem* I mean private space and the whole concept of ownership over earth, water, and air?

Beat them.

Just try sleeping in a public/private space and see how your treated. Despite the media's portrayal of more crime, there are far too many obedient domesticated goody two shoes today to seriously consider a need for more police. There is a conformity epidemic! Havn't you noticed? Seriously.. ipods, SUVs, Tim Horton's slave juice drive thrus, Snookie, and Justin Bieber fans, the war on drugs, the war on crime, the war on bullying even. Come on. There will always be bullies, but we always learn from life's experiences, thats why they are there. To help us grow balls. When's the last time you saw a car chase? Why must everything be so clean, sterile, boring, and safe? Crime rates are falling, and prisons are overflowing to the point that Harper must build many more. You will be beaten senseless until you own a "living room" with tele-umbilical cable cord attachment.

Does it sound so contrived that virtual worlds funded by future shop and friends are currently playing a large part in our hypnotization, buying time for shady world governments to lay the final pieces of our future slavery? Now we must watch the joke that is the American election race this year, with a bunch of millionaire talking head turkeys that bought their influence and way to power as they ignore the existence of one of the most sensible politicians ever, Ron Paul, because he wants to demolish the IRS, foreign military bases, and the federal reserve to save the dollar. He outwits them a million to one, every time! but somehow the media will make Mr. Paul look insignificant. We have never lived in so complicated a time, yet if you break things down to basics it can clarify much generated confusion. Ask yourself this. Why would today's governments want to rule over intelligent, insightful, self-powered people? Do you think this would be an easy crowd to take care of for them? I wouldn't think that an independent, rigid, strong society would be very easy to bend.. to recruit soldiers for instance. This is why myopia is necessary today, when logic is ignored. It kills insight, makes us malleable, and ultimately governable. How sad.

But don't be mad, governing is not easy. You don't want that job, it would desensitize, dehumanize, and make you have total disregard for the average person. Most people are in contempt of government (and for good reasons) that makes life for governing elites very difficult especially when we suck off of their welfare and social programs. If you were in charge of the world, you would likely hate your people to no end, that in return kinda hate you too, which makes up for one hell of a dysfunctional marriage. You would blame people for their needy behaviour, forgetting that it is a symptom of your own decayed governance. We hate our government because despite the need for "social progress" and the need to reform our primitive states for modernity to be possible, we are still just animals, like the cat staring out the window longing to be free. So here we are, domesticated pets, sick of feeding intravenously off this big ugly machine.. how do we turn it off.. and continue living? Life used to be so easy.. get a good job, make good money, buy nice things. It's hella difficult to unlearn bad habits, and learn how to be free, and independent of a polluting, exploiting system. Especially when we are so many.

There's a lot of silly pretentious words out there today, like "metaphysical", "unequivocal", and "literally". Oh? you literally fell down on the ground? Like, as opposed to what valley girl, did you fall down figuratively?? like, with emoticons? Totally, but that's not pretentious, it's just stupid. One word I hear a lot of today is SOCIAL PROGRESS, and it kind of urks me because I don't think anyone really knows WTF it means. It is said, in the academic lexicon that it kinda originated out of the age of enlightenment with some concern for peoples well being, mostly with economic accents. The thing is social progress can really be relative to anyone's beliefs. Are "socially conscious" people progressing socially? Is a generation of young button-pushers progressive, or sending a bunch of international development graduates to Africa socially progressive?

Step out of the economic standpoint, and into an evolutionary one. Are we progressing as people? growing?? If we aren't then there's no point.. were just wasting time, dicking around with hedonist flatulence. I saw a pack of two double AA disposable batteries for 15$ the other day when logic would dictate that disposable batteries should of died the day rechargeable ones were invented three decades ago, but our society discourages progress. They sale rechargeable batteries at dollarama but when I asked someone why they were buying the disposables they said recharge-ables don't last long. One step in the right direction is the Internet; the only good invention since the bicycle, and I guess computers too since they are a catalyst to that because the web has given us much food for thought and social organization especially for manifesting protest.. It is a virtual environment, yet unlike television, an interactive one that projects us into a world of information enabling us to make connections never conceived of before. I can find people elsewhere in the world that share my beliefs and wish to elaborate on them, yet regretfully, the streets are virtually silent away from the sports bars. The Internet does not dethrone the noble bicycle as invention of the ages yet, because the revolution has been a silent one. There's some drug induced drunken excitement occasionally, but the revolution is pretty introverted most of the time, the way they might prefer.

Maybe social progress in some regards is about dissolving the old brain and habits of isolation present in simple country folk. Assimilating primitives, who fear metropolitan hubs that strike fear and social anxiety in their hearts. Maybe social progress is getting rid of sweaty palms, nail biting, pencil twirling, fidgeting, armpit stains, and other very human side effects of mass conditioning. Unless you are rescuing your girlfriend from a grizzly bear which is not likely downtown, your adrenal glands won't be tolerated in the office. Adrenaline, triggered by fear that gives men wings, is not wanted, hence, if your still half animal then you will trust your instincts when they say you don't belong here (for many good reasons). For those of you who have successfully sublimated those primitive fears and feelings, congratulations, and good luck picking up the broken pieces of your soul. Unfortunately depleted adrenaline probably spells the end for other secretions such as serotonin which is responsible for feelings of euphoria and perhaps happiness. Because social progress is largely relative, it depends on who you are. If you are a common folk like me then you might smile at the use of corporate, and government transparency because you want to live in a world without secrecy. A world where people get on the bandwagon without a sales pitch and feel confident they are working with their superiors to make the world a better place. However if you are a fascist monarch, Rothschild, Builderberger, Rockefeller-skank, then you believe this is impractical, idealist, hippycrit-hogwash. People don't have the capacity to understand, or deserve to know certain things because YOU WANT THE TRUTH? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! We are to be treated as mere cogs in a wheel, mechanical hamsters to warm morning newspapers and toilet seats, power R&D for discoveries that will only surface after the cataclysm , because soon they will pull the plug on those expendable nauseating people who make the wheels turn for the ones on top. Those bucolic commoners that make them possible and should be neutralized before they awake to the truth.

Social progress is raising a population of people who know their actual ruling class superiors, trust their motives, and trust they will not pull the plug on them. Social progress is not using fascism and fear to keep people in check, because this is primitive! Getting people to trust in the evolution of government is progressive. Social progress is transparency, responsibility, and accountability, not generated confusion. Social progress is having at least one direction we can decide on, and not turning planet earth into an mineral excavation site for aliens. Social progress is believing in your own kind, that is ... if we are even governed by humans.

If there's anything we can learn from our new visitors, especially the greys, which have become the colour of mixing too many things together, it's that nature is the true vehicle for evolution. Yes you may build spaceships that can travel through multiple universes and dimensions after tinkering and exploiting enough resources but who comes knocking on our door when their race is dying because of a lack of proteins? Who comes knocking on our door when they need precious minerals to travel home? They made an evolutionary mistake, and now they (and maybe us) will have to pay for it. It makes me think of all the pictures I saw up north in the band office conference rooms of native leaders shaking hands with Jean Charest introducing his "Northern Plan" for reaping / ripping / raping the resources available up there. Overweight natives wearing sappy smiles holding a big white man’s cheque to buy them lots of white man's things that further assimilate them into the white race and distance them from their rich culture. It's no hair off Quebec's back.

Is their no end to what white man's machine will devour? Why can't we balance a small amount of renewable technology with nature and live happily, without a planned cataclysm to wipe out the hubs of a bloated population? Why can't we abandon infinite growth, and live simple happy lives "off the grid" with the discoveries we've made to date? This planet has the potential to be heaven on earth, we just have to get off the machine. It's time to take a step back, breathe deep, and part with the greed.
