people that can't take a hint...

Question……….Why did Gavin Rossdale and Band relocate to the US – become what they became – and met his future Partner? Because he knew that the UK in the nasty 90s wasn’t going to be at all viable to do anything – while certain other Groups – part of that Culture of Wretchedness - met their Raison Detre in America. Another Question……….Why did the US get what I call the Post Hostage Era right when the UK descended into what it became in that horrible Decade? Why do they still continue to get it right – without the sort of shoddy gestures contrived by the UK Creative Economics of recent Years? What was all the Hippiephobia about in the 90s when we’ve just had Neil Young headline the Glastonbury Festival?

I don’t buy into the Idea that the US or Israel are the Bullies of the World in this Context. Indeed has anyone considered why Americans are American or why Israel exists at all or even why English-speaking People now live in a Country called Canada? I’d say that if there was any Bully in the World it’s probably what the UK became in the 90s. The ‘be sensitive or else’ thing might have had resonance in the US but certainly not here – even if it might now be 2009. Getting fractured bones doesn’t seem particularly indicative of anything sensitive going on at all!

More Questions………………….the Anti-War Movement? Hmm – I remember when they protested against the Vietnam Conflict – where People quite bravely spoke out against it and genuinely got together and did something about it. Organised Concerts, Be ins, Get Togethers and Publicity. They weren’t the painful Conspiracy Theorists of this supposed Protest Group, indulging in exactly the sort of Elitism that not only causes War with its own sense of Lebensraum but also reminiscent of the 1930s. Nope, rather being Human Beings concerned about other Human Beings and being very human about it and - just as importantly - also putting forward viable Alternatives. I reckon there was something very manipulative about some of this current one – a Mirage designed to make you feel as if there was a Movement – but in reality something that would serve to further uproot certain People – alienate them from anything of any substance and then continue the Isolation Process. Also, have you ever seen the Film Zeitgeist? Not only rivven with Anti-Semitism but also a hefty dollop of Astronomical Psuedo-Science that doesn’t tally with further Investigation using NASA, ESA or even Russian Astronomy Programmes. If this was the definitive anti-war Statement then why isn’t shown in any Cinemas - even the Indie Picture Houses (you have to watch/download it via the Web) and why not after the Obama Inauguration as a Testamony against the Neocon Era? This presents the Paradox against the Conspiracy Theorist Movement because it's the Jewish Human Rights Groups who are probably more conducive to anything genuine in that they speak out against their own Governments Activities against the very People who are a continuous Threat to them…………much more Ingenuous!!!!!

How about this one? Why – when confronted with so much to the Contrary - do People persist in trying to get me involved with completely inappropriate Projects – like the one of recent Weeks?

There has been so much Bulcrap here for almost the entire time since the Hostage Crisis ended that it isn’t surprising that nothing worked.

Oh, and does having my David Kosoff Book stolen equate with ‘Losing my Religion’?

There might come a time when Republican, Democrat, Labour and Likud could realize how they were conned by all this as I was. I wouldn’t like to be on the receiving end of whatever those particular 4 Horsemen might decide to enact!

You have Music Festivals in Israel - probably rather more Multi-Cultural than the dismal Psuedo-Cultural 90s/post 90s Offerings of the UK (yeah, Neil Young might have played Glasto on the Saturday - but Blur - with their horrible little Brit Pop Ditty - on the Sunday so more dubious choreography - this time form our supposed Love and Peace Community - Chav trendy Stylee), you have Street Musicians, Artists, Theatre etc without getting beaten up for it - while you also have Human Rights Groups (6 - interestingly) who also don't get beaten up for speaking out against what is probably the most Militarised Government in the World.

People might raise Issues about the recent events in Gaza - something I also did via this Site - but then I began to realise that that was exactly what had been done to me here............................and the Ghettoisation (1930s Stylee) probably began at some time in the 1990s. this wasn't done by Israelis either but by a Cabal of Goyim Gnomists and a Yuppie Elite.

Wow, lucky me. I get to wake up and get a little light reading...

I'm too young to understand the peace movement - even my father was just a kid back then. The latest peace movement? Whatever... who wants to get dragged to the wacko fringe, in any direction? Unless you're already there in your heart. All those chick mobiles with the peace sign in some pastel color ... that's the peace movement. Viable alternatives? If there is no war, then there is no peace... and some things are worth preserving, and fighting for. Peace is the anomaly.

a Cabal of Goyim Gnomists and a Yuppie Elite.

It seems more like idealists run amok than some conspiracy. Label the aggressor, and oppose them... it's just about that simple. They even look in the mirror, and see the aggressor, and - well, just look at our foreign policy now. From crusaders to chumps. Opposite stupid is still stupid.

lighthouse, mon ami:

two things:

1. did you get lost? This is the pet peeve's thread, and not sure you meant to post those here, as those are full blown peeves, not just pet ones.

2. Also, need to trim down that signature. Here's a link to the new size limitations.

thanks man, and hope you are well.

Sisters who decide to wake their brothers up from a nice nap, intended to help snuff out the jet lag, by sticking an ice cube down their t-shirt. A victim of a conspiracy by wife and sister.

[valis]

Victim, hardly. YOU failed to lock the door correctly, so YOU are the one at fault.

They merely took advantage of the situation. You should laud them, instead, methinks.

[CADude12]

Actually, I am lauding them. I was at my parent's on the porch, so locking the doors was really not an option... I'm still staying up to try to kill the last of the jet lag.

Here’s something that got back to me the other day………………….

Someone who has a Relative who works in the Industry seemed to be under the impression that I was gay. Hmmm – so it seems that for a very long time someone has been going around the Biz telling everyone that I‘m not interested in the Ladies. Oh they do a thorough job of your character assassination don’t they? Not surprised I’ve had problems over the Years – I mean, what are you supposed to do when confronted by this all the time? There are other things said by some that suggest even worse has been bandied around too – so what I want to know is why does the US get it right with a rather cool TV Programme, Israel has its 6 Human Rights Groups but Britain begins to assume the rather unpleasant Aura of a Nietschian Nightmare?

Obviously it was a complete waste of time working at the Beeb in these Circumstances and maybe I’ll just forward my writings to the Company that made that TV Series who also have Don McLean and America on their Roster and have a Chat (“Hi – I’m that descendant of Owen you might have heard about”) with some People who don’t still think that it’s either the 19th Century, shackled to the establishment – or some bleak re-run of the late 1970s. (I did say once how I was trying to get home). Why is the UK so conservative – even now in the 21st Century? Yeah I guess I look like a Hippie Journalist – but then, so do quite a few of them. Y’know, when I read some of that stuff now – written when I was still only 25 Years old – I reckon that had this been the US – now 45 – I’d probably be an $80,000 P.A Associate Editor for one of those NY based Arts/Music Publications; with a Wife/Partner (Probably a Journalist) and some rather creatively informed Children than this these days. It’s almost worth doing battle with Depression just long enough to get the Plane Ticket and Israeli Visa Money because the UK is gradually turning into those ‘Concrete Killing Fields’ once referred to in an Essay I wrote all those Years ago.

There probably stopped being anything left here ages ago – maybe even in that now distant time of the late 1970s.

lighthouse - Dude, you really need to find a woman! I guess you know that by now, it doesn't seem to be getting any better for you. And it's 2009, not 1979. You're imprisoning yourself in your own metaphorical gulag. BTW, I enjoy your posts.. I just hope you find your way out of that depressive mood you seem to be in most of the time.

[lighthouse]

Thanks and yeah - I'll agree thoroughly on the Partner thing The 1970s? Hmm - I wrote this a moment ago - and the 1979 Angle is covered!

Has anyone ever told those Punk Rock Affectationists why it’s most famous Protagonist left the Sex Pistols? John Lydon (his real name because both Rotten and Sid Vicous were just Characters created by the most detestable Manager n Music Malcolm McClaren) refused to make a Record with an Accessory to Murder (ask anyone from ASLEF about how ‘Great’ the supposed Train Robbery of 1963 wasn’t) or a Nazi War Criminal (Boorman). By then he had also abandoned the ‘Rotten’ tag and resumed his Life as Mr Lydon and began to reinvent Music with PIL. The Sex Pistols existed to promote one Album and that was all and he’d realized that the Glitter’worst’ Management Company were beginning to make some very dubious Decisions indeed. (Arabella Lwin was most certainly one of them).

Also, in an Interview he gave in the 1980s he expressed his exasperation at how 80s ‘Punks’ were going around being just as retrograde as anyone being Rod Stewart or the Bay City Rollers were in 1976. Both Creativity and Music were infinitely more inventive in the 80s than it ever was in the 70s and an 80s ‘Punk’ was something of a Paradox, so if the Movements most famous Spokesperson says this why can’t the 90s/post 90s Media get the Hint? Why was the BBC and Creativity more innovative in the 1950s and 60s than it ever was in the 1990s – when it became more conservative than it had ever been? Maybe these two Phenomena answer that particular Question. But then – it’s exactly because of that conservatism the UK had become the Poor Man of Europe (Reinforced Concrete where freshly mixed Cement ought to be) but who’s going to put that back in its Place huh? I’ve had it with how that conservatism effectively puts a G Clamp on our lives and then criticizes those it affects for living its Symptoms. They’re like those who knock Israel for their Achievements or People who move to the US and become successful.

If someone can write – as I’ve often been told I can – then in the US you get employed to do so – and sometimes rather well remunerated for it. In the UK you have to satisfy those same retrograde Influences – get paid almost nothing for it – and if you aren’t part of some Establishment thing your time would be very limited indeed! They’ll ask you if you have a Degree – although for some that is a bit daft when they probably have more Skills derived from a lifetime of Observation and its University than anything gleaned from a 3 Year Study Course. (That shouldn’t be misconstrued as a Critique of the Educationalist either because some are doing a brilliant job in what can be a very difficult and stressful Environment) You’ll get the almost incessant politics – which takes precedent over actually doing the Job or being creative - and all of this has produced a Society where no-one really achieves much or some get What’sthepointitis and an Atrophy develops. Oh, and don’t get me started on the various Cliques and Cabals either. This is why Americans are American etc – because their Ancestors weren’t involved in any of that!

I’m starting to think that I might be more Americanized because of those 9 Years in an Area once dubbed ‘Little California’ than I initially thought! Perhaps too Americanized for the BBC.

Hi lighthouse.

You have managed to completely ruin this thread which was fun as well as entertaining to read until you started in with your ramblings as you have done in other threads.

I hope that was your goal.

you have spouted some interesting material but it needs to be confined to it's own thread not spread around.

That is just my opinion so take it as you wish...

Hi gm3, I totally agree with you that he needs to start his own thread

this guy remains such a mystery to me all I really know is that he seems to have unlimited access to a computer

[Gabriel]

That is a legitimate peeve....however, LH is peeving in his own way, too
