Storm Thorgerson Dies aged 69

Storm (what a great name) Thorgerson created some of the most iconic album covers of my generation.

 

 

Including 10 for Pink Floyd, of which, this one is arguably the most famous.

Here are some others.

 

 

 

 

 Simply some of the coolest album art ever produced.

Knowledge is Foolishness

As we continue to watch the global economy disintegrate. It occurs to me that Radical Islam, who we would have thought would be cheer leading the downfall of Western economic systems, seem to be unaware of the situation. It could even be argued that they are as much a part of the system as anyone else.
If there really is a surge in "short trading" to coincide with terror attacks, then we could safely assume that the "system" is patronised by all and sundry.

The Muslim Brotherhood shares some similarities with Freemasonry. There are some suggestions that founder, Hassan al-Banna,  was linked to the masonic fraternity and that the Lodge was instrumental in the rapid growth of the Brotherhood.

Its not easy to establish the truth when dealing with such shadowy organisations. They prefer to operate under the cover of secrecy. Of course that mode is in keeping with all occult activity. The key factor in passing on, arcane knowledge, is that the recipient has to be sufficiantly advanced before he/she is worthy to receive it.
The whole realm of witchcraft and magic operates this way.

Ultimately it is all about power over those beneath you within the hierarchy. And those who desire the secrets of the universe, are eager to jump through hoops for their spiritual masters.
Regardless of what secrets are offered, the path is a very poor second compared with a relationship with the creator Himself.

The Anti Communitarian League

Niki Rapaana, along with her daughter Nordica Friedrich are the founders of the ACL and authors of the "Anti Communitarian Manifesto"
Niki got into a spat with the local government in Seattle USA and now lives in a community of yurt dwellers in Alaska.

The basic thesis of the ACL is that "Communitarianism" is the "synthesis" of the Left/Right or East/West dialectic.
Sounds straightforward enough but even those who studied Hegel at university, struggle to grasp the basic tenets of the dialectical process. Maybe you have to escape before you can see it properly, maybe you need a different perspective, from the outside looking in as it were.

Here is Niki talking about some aspects of Communitarianism.



 

Clearly, this dialectic is unfinished, we still have such strong left v right rhetoric on a national level (evident with the death of Thatcher) Internationally we can see the same opposing ideologies played out in the Korean Crisis.

 

I always realised that opting out of the system was never really an option. That I simply would not be allowed to build a house of the side of a hill somewhere and live off the fruit of the land, minding my own business. All the land belongs to someone and as soon as I had any resources to live off, they would be taxed. Niki shows the kind of extremes that it is necessary to go to for such a lifestyle. It can be -30 degrees for weeks at a time in Anchorage.

 

While I am on this topic, it is worth noting that there is a convergence of thought/belief with Communitarianism (or one of its alternative appellations) and the philosophy of the New Age or New World Order. Which really equates to a reconstituted Babylonian civilisation. Sounds too far out but they say that "Fact is stranger than fiction" 

The Vampire Economy

This book which is available as free PDF download is a fascinating study of economics under the Third Reich. Simailarities can be seen in the way things have become here in 2013.

Confiscation of private property is one of the key indicators

What is Freedom?

This is crucial

Margaret Thatcher referred to the "freedom to choose" as a kind of moral requisite to be levied against the institutional socialism that was a result of 1970s Labour policy.
However, when she (and successive western governments) referred to freedom, they tended to use a kind of "Orwellian Doublespeak" 

This is hard to write about. There should be no ambiguity here. So much is at stake.

To illustrate the double meaning of freedom, there is probably no better image than "Lady Liberty"



The UNESCO "Statement of Significance" describes the statue as a "masterpiece of the human spirit" that "endures as a highly potent symbol—inspiring contemplation, debate and protest—of ideals such as liberty, peace, human rights, abolition of slavery, democracy and opportunity" (Source:Wiki)

The creator of the Statue of Liberty was Freemason, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. Anyone who understands what Freemasonry is REALLY about, will know that this "Masonic freedom cult" seeks to be freed from God's law. This is why Lucifer is venerated by occultists. He is considered to be the liberator of mankind from  the yoke of slavery to God.

The Hegelian Dialectic

I had decided to stay away from the Thatcher topic for a while but I can't.
When will everyone realise that things go much deeper than a simple left/right dichotomy?

Read this:

What is the Hegelian Dialectic?

Could Thatcher's Funeral Cause Riots?

Who would have thought the death of Margaret Thatcher would polarise opinion to the extent it has?

 

During a mini riot in Brixton last night, some "enterprising" individual, managed to change the display on the "Ritzy".

Spontaneous parties erupted across the country as news of the death of, "Pariah", Thatcher spread. Some photographs show images of Thatcher being burned, Middle Eastern style.

 

Meanwhile, there were calls for her statue to be erected in Trafalgar Square alongside the other great British Heroes.

 

I cannot remember seeing so much joy being poured out due to the death of an English person.

This means that she was hated more than we ever realised, or society has declined to the point where respect for the dead is no longer considered appropriate by many.

The first is evident. I fear the second maybe applicable too.

 

If this is the reaction following news of Margaret Thatchers death, what on earth is going to happen if they decide to hold a "Diana" style funeral service?

 

Should the government take note here? Yes, undoubtedly. There is a powder keg of dissatisfaction waiting to be ignited and the smallest spark, such as the perception of undue honour being bestowed upon "The Pariah" Thatcher, could blow the whole gaff up, seriously.

 

These are strange and dangerous times.
