Independent media? I don't buy it.

a rant...

I love you Indymedia don't forget that, but
if your best friends can't tell you...

Independent media? I don't buy it.

It seems any criticism of indymedia.uk has the same effect .

pulled...

sad the level of intelligence these people have...isn't it...?

Stalinistic...authoritarian

they say that the site hopes to promote alternative and anarchistic viewpoints...

really?

also funny how the concept of 'globalisation' has been hijacked by the neo-liberals [consumers] who cannot accept that the whole process of 'globalisation' is being run by a corporatist CARTEL which is by definition a conspiracy

...this is where the cognitive dissonance begins...

they are so scared of being thought of as a whacko as they sit on the sofa in their 'Friends set' of a Bar in Islington... that they can't think straight anymore

so while not wanting to appear like a whacko,
they call anyone who disagrees with their party line, a nut...
which is exactly the same way the Cartel owned mainstream media treats them!

...and it makes them feel good, y'know : ALTERNATIVE...DIFFERENT...

The stereotypical veggie white dread...in his VW camper going to festivals and living off daddies money...parodied years ago as the two sons in the TV show Butterflies.

Little do these people suspect that anti-globalisation has become a recognized 'fashion' . And that the 'Camdenites' et al - are a whole market...to be advertised and sold to...and directed.

The stupid cartoon reality of liking scooby doo 'cos your on pot, maaan!'

They screened Tom & Jerry to the US soldiers in WWII & Korea, because they were KIDS!

Look at how many bank adverts on telly have dancing animated childish colorful imagery...

Advertising culture, under the guise of eclectisism and Post-modernism...wraps it's products in vague drug references.

Special effects morph gently behind every TV news report...and take up most of the running time on Hollywood [in] Blockbusters.

It's all just for you, dear alternative culture...

You're making them rich...

luckily many have studied the rise of beatnik culture, love, hippies and the strange coincidence of LSD being 'leaked into' and 'discovered' by U.S. 60's underground society...which helped stifle legitimate protest all steered along with operations such as FBI co-intelpro agent infiltration, and the CIA drug smuggling

They murdered Malcom X, Martin Luther King, John Lennon & many more.

It is a belief engine...a cultural Hijacking. A brainwashing tool for marketing a lifestyle

While it's true a chosen few, took drugs and used them to enhance their reality...

The Stones were rivalled against The Beatles, much the same as Oasis versus Blur in the cultural vacuum of the disgrace that was Brit-pop.

Do you think William Burroughs could cut it now...
What about Joy Division?

a homogenised, ruined dream...was part of the plan

"they're selling hippy wigs in Woolworths, man" [Withnail & I]

an MK SOCIETY experiment...in diversion... in psychological-economic warfare

They did it with the Eastern Block...Unions, anti-nuclear protesters, militants, and now anything 'Alternative' is targetted...

it is still going on...

Glastonbury being a prime example of the Cartel induced alternative culturing of reality: an overpriced extorrtion circus of mediocrity herded into areas surrounded by a wall of security.

I discovered that the 90's summer of love, wasn't all inclusive.

It was Cliquey & distorted...

I was around when Acid & E culture bared itself as the Gangster ridden, corrupt mindfuck which it really was...

I watched as Yardies in Stoke Newington, posed and gunned down each other for a quick quid...Under a police force that was dealing Heroin

I was there at Camelford in the early 90's, when the police switched the clean water supply off... and the E dealers, selling beers and bottled water from the back of their overloaded Ford Fiestas put their prices up...!

I wonder what the 60's were really like? much the same I suspect.

Conspiracy sites make more & more effort to sell us books and tapes than to try and reach a kind of truth, or encourage anyone to break free. They have become fodder for viral markting. Instead of lapping up redigested news, try finding out about how the corporate Cartel works...and who runs it...The internet IS media.

Examine it all...in order to examine yourself

f**k 'em...

never give up

re-invent yourself...
