Disaster Capitalism: "Shock Doctrine" (video)

(A2zme) Shock Doctrine by Alfonso Cuarón and Naomi Klein, directed by Jonás Cuarón.

"When I finished The Shock Doctrine, I sent it to Alfonso Cuarón because I adore his films and felt that the future he created for Children of Men was very close to the present I was seeing in disaster zones. I was hoping he would send me a quote for the book jacket and instead he pulled together this amazing team of artists -- including Jonás Cuarón who directed and edited -- to make The Shock Doctrine short film. It was one of those blessed projects where everything felt fated" (Naomi Klein).

Paramilitary tactics on a peaceful civilian demonstration? It's what US police have been waiting to unpack as they take us from Brave New World Order to Orwellian nightmare.

OAKLAND, Northern California - Shock and awe. Police in full riot gear with tear gas and three helicopters overhead cleared anti-Wall Street Occupy Oakland protesters this morning (Oct. 25) from the plaza in front of Oakland's City Hall where they have been camped out for about two weeks. TV news footage shows numerous people in plastic handcuffs being led away from the site by police around after the 5:00 am raid. The protesters did not appear to be resisting, although an officer did fire a [potentially deadly] non-lethal projectile from a shotgun at a protester who lobbed a bottle, authorities told the San Francisco Chronicle.

This morning at 5:00 am over 500 police in riot gear from cities all over central California brutally attacked the Occupy Oakland encampment at the intersection of 14th & Broadway. Riot police attacked the peaceful protest with flash grenades, tear gas, and [deadly canon style] rubber bullets after moving in with armored vehicles. Apparently, the media was not allowed in to document this repression, and one was warned or allowed to leave. Police established barricades as far apart as 11th and 17th. Over 70 people were arrested, and the camping gear was destroyed and/or stolen by riot police. Contact the mayor and tell her what you think of her actions.

• Reconvene today (Tuesday, Oct. 25) at 4:00 pm at the Oakland Library on 14th & Madison.

• We will be protesting this planned atrocity at the next City Council meeting.

President B.S. Obama is a "Savior Machine"

David Bowie (PROGNOSTICATION)

Redd Kross once had a new song. Only it wasn't new. It was David Bowie's "Saviour Machine." Move over, Nostradamus. It's as if Bowie had a psychic vision about our very own Barry Soetoro Obama, future leader of the un-free world.



"President Joe once had a dream. The world held his hand, gave their pledge. So he told them his scheme for a Savior Machine. They called it the [Obama Plan]. Its answer was law. Its logic [start]ed war, gave them food. How they adored till it cried in its boredom: 'Please don't believe in me! Please disagree with me! Life is too easy. A plague seems quite feasible now. Or maybe a war. Or I may kill you all!

"Don't let me stay, don't let me stay. My logic says burn, so send me away. Your minds are too green. I despise all I've seen. You can't stake your lives on a Savior Machine! I need you flying. And I'll show that dying is living beyond reason, sacred dimension of time. I perceive every sign. I can steal every mind! Don't let me stay, don't let me stay. My logic says burn, so send me away. Your minds are too green. I despise all I've seen. You can't stake your lives on a Savior Machine!'"



We voted Kucinich. But we were happy a biracial (gay, slightly Muslim, and almost certainly not a citizen) man won. It was considered impossible just a year before. "Change"? We should have known the bankers who funded him were not going to allow that. But who expected him to go to the right of Cheney/Bush, beating the Tea Party at its own game?

Remote Viewing: Military Wants it for Soldiers

ALBANY, New York - The cavernous hall of shops that 
connects the buildings in this 98-acre complex is a popular venue for autumnal events: Oktoberfest, the Maple Harvest Festival, and today’s “Mystic Fair.”

Amid all the bustle and transparent hustles, few of the dabblers at the Mystic Fair are aware that there is a genuine mind reader in the building, sitting in an office several floors below the concourse.

This mind reader is not able to pluck a childhood memory or the name of a loved one out of your head, at least not yet. But give him time. He is applying hard science to an aspiration that was once relegated to clairvoyants, and unlike his predecessors, he can point to some hard results.

The mind reader is Gerwin Schalk, a 39-year-old biomedical scientist and a leading expert on brain-computer interfaces at the New York State Department of Health’s Wads worth Center at Albany Medical College.

The 
Austrian-born Schalk, along with a handful of other researchers, is part of a $6.3 million U.S. Army project to establish the basic science required to build a thought helmet -- a device that can detect and transmit the unspoken speech of soldiers, allowing them to communicate with one another silently.
