Thou Shalt Not Eat Other People's Waste

The global criminalisation of poverty stretches credibility. Making poverty history was a fashion statement not so man years ago but who would have thought that it would be being poor which became the crime not causing poverty by means of corporate greed.

And so, stories of well meaning people being arrested for feeding the poor become more and more common whilst people, who by virtue of their desperation, turn to desperate acts, are prosecuted for their hunger; one might argue that they are actually persecuted.

The BBC report today that:

Three accused of stealing food from Iceland store bins

Three men are to stand trial after allegedly taking cheese, tomatoes and cakes from bins behind an Iceland shop.

Paul May, William James and Jason Chan were arrested in Kentish Town, north London, in October. Iceland said its staff did not call the police.

At a court hearing in November, the men denied being found in or upon enclosed premises, contrary to section 4 of the Vagrancy Act 1824.

They will next appear at Highbury Magistrates' Court on 3 February.

'Waste and austerity'
The items allegedly taken from the store's bins amounted to a total value of £33 and included tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese and Mr Kipling cakes.

Mr May, 35, Mr James, 23, and Mr Chan, 31, all of no fixed address, are expected to say they had been "skipping" - a term used for taking food that would otherwise go to waste from a bin or skip.

Mike Schwarz from law firm Bindmans, who is representing the men, said: "The prosecutor's view that there is a significant public interest in expending public money to prosecute 'skippers' at times of shortage, waste and austerity, seems at best short-sighted, at worst perverse and certainly disproportionate.

"The defendants will say that they were not acting dishonestly."

In a statement, Iceland said: "The store in question is next door to a police station. Iceland staff did not call the police, who attended on their own initiative.

"Nor did we instigate the resulting prosecution, of which we had no knowledge until the media reports of it appeared yesterday evening.

"We are currently trying to find out from the Crown Prosecution Service why they believe that it is in the public interest to pursue a case against these three individuals, and will comment further when we are more fully informed."


What is hugely significant is that the de facto owners of the food, Iceland, are not the ones prosecuting, it is the police from an adjacent police station who are pressing charges. Iceland seem totally bemused by the situation and, according to their statement, do not understand why the law so keen to prosecute.

No doubt the sight of people so hungry that they would eat from a skip upsets the appetite of the officers as they tuck into their takeaways between arbitrarily stopping ethnic minority individuals to search them and beating up innocent people in their cells.

It probably doesn't help that I just watched the film adaptation of Irving Welsh's Filth but the police do not do themselves any favours when they act like complete aresholes but it seems to be their nature.

UPDATE:

All credit to Iclend for speaking up.

Iceland food bin theft case dropped

The case against three men accused of stealing food from bins outside an Iceland store has been dropped by prosecutors.

Paul May, William James and Jason Chan were arrested in Kentish Town, north London, in October.

The men denied charges brought under the 1824 Vagrancy Act.

The Crown Prosecution Service said Iceland had made representations that "affected our assessment of the public interest in prosecuting".

NSA GCHQ use Angry Birds as a Trojan Horse

There is never likely to be more conclusive proof that the NSA's spying programme had little, if anything to do with defence or counter-terrorism than Edward Snowden's most recent revelation.

The liklihood of radicals from either end of the bogus political spectrum or the extremes of any religion are unlikely to be detectable within a boolean hoop as massive as the 1.7 billion players of Angry Birds. If your brain is jellied sufficiently to gain anything meaningful from playing the game, it is extremely unlikely that you are going to pose a threat to western civilisation but according to the latest leaks, that is not how intelligence gatherers see things.

US and British spies 'get personal data from Angry Birds'

That is, of course, unless those cartoon anarchists are practicing throwing their fizzing bowling ball bombs on their iPhones cunningly disguised with feathers.

The greatest sadness I feel here is that those most affected by this are the ones who will least give a shit. They will reside firmly in the 'if you've done nothing wrong, you've nothing to hide' camp. But it questions the role played by developers such as Rovio and manufacturers such as Apple play in producing and marketing extremely addictive Trojan Horses for the nefarious exploitation of government spies and the relationship between corporate and government power which has become increasingly nebulous.

From The Blackpool Gazette 26th January 2014:

Bishop hails investment in BAE future

The Bishop of Blackburn has hailed the “huge investment” made by BAE Systems into its next generation of workers.

The Rt Rev Julian Henderson, who arrived as the head of the Anglican Diocese for Lancashire in October, visited the company’s sites in Warton and Samlesbury during a day-long visit which also took a look around the firm’s training centre in Preston.

He met some of the latest intake of apprentices who are spending the first 12 months of their training at the centre before visiting different parts of the business which employs more than 10,000 people.

The Bishop said: “Seeing the enthusiasm which the apprentices tackle their training was great to see.

“They get the opportunity to see the company from the bottom upwards and it seems to me this is a great way to get to know a profession. It is so important we continue to invest in our young people and for BAE Systems it is a huge investment in its future.”

During the visit, the Bishop attended the company’s site at Samlesbury before finishing his tour at Warton where he visited the Typhoon final assembly line and Hawk manufacturing facility to look at the aircraft which the RAF fly in frontline action and to train their pilots of the future.


That, of course, would be the Rt Rev Julian Henderson of BAe investors, the Church of England who, let us not forget have a vested interest in Armageddon.

I have always had a problem with Christian involvement in any aspect of war. It's a bit trite to say it but the fifth, sixth or seventh commandment, depending on which bit of the Bible is being referenced, states, 'thou shalt not kill' not 'thou shalt not kill but...' or, 'thou shalt not kill except...' It's amazing how flexible the clergy can be when interpreting the Word of God.

I used to work with a Christian whose equally Christian husband worked at this very same factory yet did not see any conflict of interest. When I started to reel off the atrocities which have been carried out using machinery which was manufactured by British Aerospace such as the napalming of villagers in East Timor by the Suharto regime of Indonesia in the 1980s which was regarded by many scholars as genocide, I was told that they had children and 'had to put food on the table'.

 Well, first of all, the woman was senior to me and therefore better paid than me. Secondly, it was during a period when things were very different to the current situation and there were other jobs with other companies which an engineer could easily have found. But thirdly, British Aerospace workers are paid extremely well, largely because of the contracts with very wealthy tyrannies around the globe - so one must wonder exactly what kind of food was being being put on what kind of table.

Do these people not have a fucking brain? Oh, yes, that's a very well made spigot, you have there. I can just visualise its purpose in the mechanism which efficiently releases the payload of lethal weaponry upon foreign brown people as they dig in the dirt foraging for food.

They disgust me. And no amount of repeated views of Major Barbara is going to make me think any differently even to grasp the irony. They are supposed to be the agents of our creator and are blessing the instruments of mass murder. It is hardly possible to escape the conclusion that hypocrisy is not something which concerns them.

Censorship: Suppressive Powers for the Masses

I think everybody who isn't fascinated by the arrest of Justin Bieber will be aware that the mainstream media manipulates the news and, more subtly, its coverage of the news to suit its agenda or that which it has been assigned. It's so obvious and well documented, it is almost a waste of a paragraph to even mention it but it has to be reiterated in order to make a point which is in danger of becoming as much of a truism because whilst it is unacceptable that the mainstream news media effectively lie (omission is a form of censorship and deception ergo a lie), it is accepted that they do. It is, by virtue of their stated remit, even less acceptable for the so-called alternative media to censor especially when they openly market themselves as an antedote to the homogenous diet of information which people are fed daily. It's common knowledge that Alex Jones will not tolerate any criticism of Israel. Indymedia, who are ostensibly diametrically opposed to Infowars also avoid, as much as possible, the Israel thing (except when it involves Palestinians) and comb out any posts which mention 9/11 (except when it endorses Keane and Hamilton), Freemasons, chemtrails or a multitude of other subjects which, for its own purposes, it deems inappropriate.

But what about our latest alternative outlet? A voice for the voiceless. Be part of the heard not the herd.

Well, that's all well and good but what if the voice does not agree with you? What if the mind behind the voice actually thinks you are not quite as virtuous as you make out? There is always censorship but that would not look too good, would it. It goes on within the alternative media and it subsidiaries and everybody knows about it but it is forbidden to mention it - that will result in further censorship. In not so extreme cases, this could lead to banning or, as mentioned previously, what one forum euphemistically calls, 'inactive' which suggests that the user has elected not to say anything for a while. Not unlike a police officer looking down upon a bloody beaten prisoner tied to a chair with gaffer tape over his mouth and saying, 'he's gone a bit quite'. It's the same fucking game, Sean. You are no different.

But what is (only slightly) more surprising is how easily the rest of the flock come around to that way of thinking - just like the liberal Obama supporters who overnight saw the merit and positive ethical aspects of drone strikes on foreign civilians.

Today, we have one David Icke forum member, 3point5 saying, 'I help run a pretty popular Facebook page. We kept having one or two members that were causing grief on the Facebook page. You know what we did? We blocked them. It solved the problem instantly, and it meant we didn't drag our own name through the mud by arguing with them publicly.'

Whilst forum moderator, scottishryan responds, 'You are completely correct, I find blocking out such disturbances works the best. I personally had to do it in my Youtube Channel too, there is a line that can be crossed when this is the best first option to take.'

Yeah, fucking hypocrites, right? That's what they are all saying on the forum at sanctumzone.co.uk - all the refugees from David Icke's forum who are disenchanted, suspended or ...er inactive have gathered at one of the relatively new so-called alternative (to) David Icke forums. All those self-congratulatory folk, not unlike the Obama types, who think they have found a life raft in the turbulent sea of censorship. Except that they haven't because sanctumzone.co.uk is guilty of censorship like the two previously mentioned strata of deception; whether intentionally or by neglect. Having experienced the digital Heath-Robinson of the sanctumzone.co.uk forum, I am willing to accept the possibility that there is some technical explanation for what I have witnessed but until I have received an explanation from whoever is responsible for the site's administration, I am going to assume the inevitable. And I am willing to wager that all the other alternative Icke sites are equally flawed in their ethics.

What is certain is that there is no such thing as free speech anywhere on the internet where there are people with administrative privileges acting as gatekeepers. I tried it once - the only posts I deleted were blatant spam with links to whatever was being flogged at the time. Ironically, one or two of the members didn't like free speech and at least one of them has spent the past eight or nine years bad mouthing me for all manner of ridiculous ills conjured up by their paranoid delusions. S/he is a moron. I could name them but why throw fireworks on the fire? Self-censorship? Maybe but I believe in the words of Henry Delaune, 'Think all you speak but speak not all you think;' and I assure you, some people don't know how grateful they might be for that. Unfortunately, in this digital world everybody who is counter-inclined has the indiscriminate power of a flamethrower.

Hypocrite Considers Throwing Persistent Internet Pirates in Jail [sic]

OK, so, it's only two days since I publicly announced that I was bored with it all but I wasn't expecting David Icke to throw me an irrisistable meaty chunk like this.

Anybody with any interest in free speech and who has observed the Stalinist censorship on David Icke's forum will know that any mention of certain words or phrases relating to BitTorrent will be redacted with a nice row of asterisks and links to torrent sites will consquently have thir URLs broken. The reason for this is supposed to be because it is illegal to mention BitTorrent or link to torrent sites, according to clueless Technical Adviser, 'i_am'. As pointed out previously here, that would put many major websites such as The Guardian, BBC, Wikipedia, Google and thousands of others on the wrong side of the law. The real reason, as is pretty evident when one has frequented some of the torrent sites in question, is that David Icke, via his sidekick, Sean Adl Tabatabai, has threatened those sites with legal action unless torrent of his 'message' are removed.

Before we go on to today's little gem, perhaps we should explore this facet of David Icke's persona for a moment. He proselytises that people should see through materialism because it is all an illusion, he never ceases preaching about how tirelessly he works to get 'material' out and at a very famous turning point in his life, claimed to be a son of the godhead.

Without wishing to make a direct comparison, just suppose that Jesus returned. Would it be reasonable of him to threaten people with legal action for sharing the message which he was so interested in spreading? However, that is what David Icke, who is regarded by many on his forum as a saviour, does, and does so to protect the income he makes from the sales of hard copies of his material. And he is quite happy for people with very little money to forego paying their rent in order to line his pockets. This is a man who quotes Gandhi and borrowed the words of Jesus for the title of one of his books, '...and the truth shall set you free'. Unfortunately, his disciples cannot see the truth of utter hypocrisy at every level of this man. Many have given money they can ill-afford to do without in order to fuel the latest vehicle for his ego in the belief that he will save them. They are stretching their cognitive dissonance to its limit yet still yearn to find another last penny to donate. But that's just the back end. Anybody with any objective detached reasoning can see what a phony, David Icke is, his integrity has the breaking strain of a Kit-Kat.

Professing that everything, including money, is an illusion whilst charging people to read and hear what you have to say on the matter shows about as much faith in one's own words as the Pope riding around in a bullet-proof Popemobile [nod to Bill Hicks] or the Church of England insuring its buildings against acts of God.

Bullshit!

Anyway, on today's David Icke headlines page, I saw this:

UK Considers Throwing Persistent Internet Pirates in Jail [sic]

‘During a debate on the UK’s Intellectual Property Bill, the Prime Minister’s Intellectual Property Adviser has again called for a tougher approach to online file-sharing. In addition to recommending “withdrawing Internet rights from lawbreakers”, Mike Weatherley MP significantly raised the bar by stating that the government must now consider “some sort of custodial sentence for persistent offenders.” Google also got a bashing – again.’

Which in turn, links to this on Torrent Freak:

UK Considers Throwing Persistent Internet Pirates in Jail [sic]

It may not be immediately apparent but here we see yet another dimension to David Icke's hypocrisy. He appears to be giving a display of support for internet freedom whilst taking his own stand against filesharers. But, not only that, he has posted a link to a site which is forbidden on his website forum. I wonder how 'sean', 'i_am', 'ex sheep' and 'zhiba' will explain the asterisks should anybody attempt to share David Icke's headline story on the forum.

I doubt that any of David Icke's lieutenants ever visit here but if they do and read this far, you are lost so far up your master's arsehole, you cannot tell shit from Sugar Puffs.

Bored with it all, now...

I was planning to write an article today entitled, 'If David Icke did not exists the New World Order would have to invent him'. But I'm not going to bother, I really can't be arsed.

I'm not so stupid that I would say that I will never post again and it may well be that I post again next week, next month or later today. But I really feel like saying, fuck it. Fuck everything and everybody - I'm going to trash my conscience and get a sales job selling shit to any fool who will buy it and live it up on the killing I will make. Not that I am capable of ignoring my conscience, I just sometimes wish I didn't give a shit and that living on this planet wasn't such agony.

I have reached the point that I think that only divine or alien intervention can save humanity from itself. I think I reached that conclusion many years ago but refused to give up fighting anyway. The last few years have been one coffee morning after another in terms of dawning reality. There has been just one long list of disappointments as far as what I have thought I could believe.

The recent farce and malfeasance which has been evident at a certain new media outfit coupled with the emergent ethical fascism 2.1 on the forum which gave its backing to the project; moral, material, creative and financial didn't come as any surprise to me. I have had personal dealings with some of the players involved and although, like many, I hoped something good would come out of it, I said privately that I predicted that the main personality behind it would either resign or be forced out within a year, mainly because I have seen things come together in the same badly conceived way before and I could not imagine that adding a great deal of money to the formula would help - in fact, it would be like throwing petrol on a fire, an instantaneous flash of energy which could not be sustained.

Hiring people who have qualification and/or experience but lacking in knowledge and commitment to the idea - rather than the organisation whilst exploiting the good will and depth of others is a recipe for conflict which would feed on itself. I've seen this in charity organisations as the transform from grass roots organic groups into corporations. The soul is bought out. Revelations which testify to this in this instance emerge almost daily.

The assurance of free speech for all is made in publicity material but there are countless instances of people who have volunteered their voices and skill but have been ignored. The forum from whence much of the viewership spends much of its time has become an information police state. You support the project or you are out, either temporarily suspended or permanently - as they newspeak euphemistically put it, inactive.

There are plenty of other forums which give voice to those people who do not share the narrow views of that forum and they have become busier over the past few months as members are suspended or made inactive. They feed on discord and are a feeding ground for gossip and logical triple jumps - woe betide anybody who can be cross referenced by the smallest detail - they will be marked for life. I tried to follow the lynching of one individual through several pages of one thread and there was not one single attempt to verify the information being posted before the horse's backside was slapped and the victim was left dancing on the end of a rope.

These forums are merely another level of a riven society. They are operated as macrofascist communities who tease out their own agendas to create another in a myriad of ideological apartheids. If they use the same methodology, they are no better than the regimes they purport to expose, they should be avoided by any free thinking person. They are an angry mob writ digital.

I concede that having written about certain matters, I have contributed to the online mire and I recognise that sometimes it is impossible not to vent one's spleen but it it is probably having imbibed toxic material which was the cause of the need to expell it and there is virtually an infinite amount of it being squirted into the human brain which it is incapable of processing. I don't really know how to stop it but the inevitable conclusion of over consumption of information; unverified, useless, news, gossip, statistics, crap, horror, titilation, illusion, fear, hate etc. etc. is some form of psychosis.

I was minded just how germaine this is when I read the following story:

Mother urges internet awareness after daughter's suicide

In the article, the girl's mother summed it up perfectly and concisely when she said that her daughter had been 'in the clutches of a toxic digital world'. That is exactly what I see. I can see how people with certain personalities or characteristics will become addicted to the toxins and will not be able to wrench themselves from it. Fortunately for me, I have a personality which binges on something until it makes me sick and then at some point recognise that it has to stop and act decisivley - or at least try to. Hence my abstention from alcohol, tobacco and other drugs as well as from television. Purging myself from the toxic digital world may prove more problematic as so much of modern life is wired into it but seeing it for what it is is a start.

TPV Team Latest: The Saga Which Writes Itself

When I was a kid, there was an advert for canned mushrooms the strap line to which was, 'you have to get up early to pick mushrooms a fresh as Chesswood'. It was strange that that advert came back to me as I was browsing the David Icke Forum at 11.00am but as I read one thread with no replies entitled, 'Another Volunteer Leaves TPV', I started to read it and due to its content became curious what other forum members thought even before I had finished, so I refreshed the page. There were a couple of comments. The thread linked to a blog article and I decided to continue reading on the blog itself. It was not particularly short so when I returned to the browser tab on the forum, I was about to hit refresh when I thought, either there will be more posts or the thread will have been exterminated - so I saved the page as a web archive before refreshing and sure enough, it was gone.

The thread linked to this post on Mother Damnable Returns blog:

The Fatal Flaws at 'The People's Voice'

It transpires that it was written by the woman who was named by Chris Spivey as the TPV assistant producer who contributed the other half of the conversation when he was bumped from being interviewed on a hitherto unknown TPV show. The blog post suggests that the show was the Mark Windows vehicle which was hastily introduced to replace Sonia Poulton Live!

At this point, I feel that I have to clarify that I have mixed feelings about Chris Spivey. I admire anybody who is dedicated to revealing the rot which underlies the establishment - and much more so somebody who does it without pursuing financial gain. But I also know that he is prone to lengthy foul-mouthed rants against anybody who just happens to be standing in the wrong place - so I half expect a tirade dedicated this opinion without any sense of irony. However, Chris Spivey was treated very rudely and unprofessionally by The People's Voice and he was gracious enough to acknowledge that it was not the assistant producer's fault but that there was something culturally very wrong with the organisation if that's how guests were treated.

The blog post expresses how the writer views the infestation of The People's Voice by media whores and how certain paid members of staff use their status to bully those they describe as 'gentle'. It exposes a very unhealthy sounding environment which embodies everything which, one must take as read, donors to The People's Voice assume it to stand against. It is actually quite disgusting to read but, if true, is very likely the signal that the end is very near unless there is radical change.

It is, however, quite significant that the writer of the blog remains loyal to David Icke believing that he has been let down by those leaping on the bandwagon which The People's Voice provided to a media industry which is vastly overpopulated - it is said that there are more media students than there are jobs in the media (not vacancies, jobs!).

In the article, the writer does not hold back from naming names. They say of producer Richard Rowland 'boasted to me how he had deliberately upset her by constantly changing her running order whilst she was live on air. He told me he had decided that  “she would be out of here before I am” on his first day, and that she didn’t "respect" him enough.'

And that referring to Jacqui Deevoy, Richsrd Rowling said, 'I’m fucking that tonight' but she didn't seem to mind.

Mark Windows 'stunk to high heaven, clearly never washed and wore the same clothes day after day...
...Difficult as Mark Windows is only interested in Mark Windows, but I persevered.'

Perhaps mostdisappointing for an alternative media outlet, there is an account of how a great stories were dropped and other guests left hanging, in one case at 4.00am because the people responsible are too disorganised an bad mannered.

Just out of curiosity, I thought I'd take a quick look at one of the people mentioned in the article.

Jacqui Deevoy appeared in a Daily Mail article whining that she could not afford to send her son to a private school. How awful! I can't really object to people sending their kids to private schools (they ought to be free to do what they want with their money) but please don't beg for sympathy - especially when some people struggle to even feed their kids. I'm not sure this falls within the parameters one might expect for a channel purporting to be champion of the people.

The shame when you can't pay the school fees: Mother reveals the heartbreak of having to remove her son from private education

She also wrote an article saying that she thought it was OK to spy on one's partner by reading the text messages on their phone - you should fit in well at TPV, then, Jacqui because the way things are going they will be introducing a macro-spy grid. What does David Icke call it? The totalitarian tiptoe and it starts with a single shuffle.

Is it ever ok to check your other half's text messages or emails?

No Poetry Please! We're Loyal Servants of Adolf Ickeman

The Third RIcke on the David Icke Forum just took an anti-culture swipe at a forum member called giblet for speaking or, more precisely, typing in rhyme. The thread which contained the post has been exterminated and the author has been marched off to a death camp, the user's profile now says 'inactive' which is a David Icke Forum euphemism for banned; if the user tries to log in they will find that they cannot even read any posts let alone speak ill of Der Führer.

As can be seen from this URL, the post no longer exists:

And if you are prepared to risk entering the Neo PolIcke State, here is giblet's remains:

So, what did the wretched traitor write to deserve to be expunged? Fortunately, having had a premonition that they would pay the ultimate price, I copied it to my clipboard. I'm not a huge fan of poetry but occasionally I will hear or read something which resonates and before I even digested this, I felt there was something significant about it. And thankfully, giblet provided a short explanation to one of the less intellectually endowed forum members, as you will read.

I thank you, giblet, and I hope you do not object to be reproducing your work here, there is a link below to another page where you have published it. Here it is as it appeared on the David Icke Forum:

Advice Kid Your cards they are a tumbling and falling,
Pennies from heaven can not save you now,
For you destiny has come a calling,
Yet your demise seems a pity somehow.

But your days they have always been numbered,
Alongside all the steps that you would take,
To save each opportunity blundered,
Not just for your's but everyone's sake.

Your sheep are naked lost up on the moor,
Your dogs have been barking up the wrong tree,
One thing will remain forever for sure,
The simple fact that you never fooled me,

Though I smile as you take your final bow,
Your demise still seems a pity somehow.


rainbow pharoah
So what's your point

giblet
The title is an anagram of David Icke.

Pennies from heaven refers to his constant begging for money from his followers who perceive him to be some kind of saviour.
Opportunites blundered refers to the fact that although he has made a hash of The People's Voice he could fix it through accepting responsibility and moving on instead of blaming those who haven't sent him money.
Sheep is his favourite way of describing people who fail to follow his preachings. They are naked because they have been fleeced.
Dogs refers to the moderators on his forum who are rabid in their blind defence of him.
And yes his demise is a shame considering the good he could have done.

Any Questions? The gentleman at the back with the turquoise shell suit... yes, you sir...

From today's headlines page on David Icke's website:

Do Schizophrenics Live in Parallel Universes?

Maybe that's a question which should have been asked a long time ago, David, only perhaps the other way around. Or maybe it's a subtle way of countering your clearly observable symptoms muxed with an opportunity to market the concepts within a book you have just published.


And on the subject of books, you regularly share an interesting observation with one of your headline graphics (slightly retouched below) which could easily be levelled at your congregation. Funny how the world of the reader illustrated (who, according to the caption, is only thinking what everyone else is thinking) occupies a world which he shares with a multi-tentacled creature, weird looking potions and what appears to be a plasma coated holgram.

This is the exemplification of DIF GroupThink, is it not?


The Widow's Mite: Techniques for Effective Extraction

I have borrowed words from somebody else's thoughts which pretty much summed up a great deal of what I had wanted say about the extremely questionable values which are being exhibited at and by The People's Voice, though I have added a bit afterwards. This was originally posted on EarthlingGB's blog:

 David Icke: HELP! HELP! The Reigstad’s [sic] on fire!!

stephen said, on January 19, 2014 at 10:55 pm

I very rarely visit the DIF nowadays but after hearing David Trickers video i decided to pop over and i am utterly speechless.
They begin by blaming Russel Brand. Another poster actually seems to think Alice Rothschild should chip in.
We have someone else has been off work all week glued to tpv and is going to jack in his job after secret information revealed on tpv that his employers are breaching health and safety and is to donate his last £225 to tpv And is going to sell all his belongings and give to David Icke. ARE YOU ACTUALLY GOING TO ACCEPT THIS ICKE? IF YOU DO YOU ARE A WEASEL.
Someone else thinks he needs to go to Peru for a few weeks and take some ayahuasca. DEAR GOD!
Then we have someone bumped SKY tv in order to give the money to TPV. But that is impossible. You cannot bump sky. If you dont pay they switch you off, that simple.
Someone else felt so guilty they ordered an i love David Icke t-shirt with the last of her giro. Next weeks giro is going on the perception deception.
Someone else reckons he needs more vitamin B12.
Someone else thinks more donate buttons is what is needed.
Someone else thinks smoking some weed would be good for him.
Someone else thinks it is great that since Icke made this video donations have increased by £10k.
Another two posters begin panicking the world is about to come crashing down and it is all the faults of the 99.9% of people that have never heard of the illuminati.
Someone else advocates using MK ultra techniques to manipulate the sheeple away from msm. WHAT?
Someone else says donations are now upto £74k. That is a quick £20k.

Then we have a Russel Brand mass tweet campaign to give him dogs abuse and this is advocated by a forum advisor. I HOPE RUSSEL GOES TO THE POLICE!!

Someone else has a thread suggesting the Illuminati have a Toxic mole placed inside TPV.
Another guy wants the studio cctv’d with PC’S and phones rigged and that anyone not happy being stalked orwellian stye should be sacked. MY GOD YOU COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP.
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1061947445&postcount=11
Someone else reckons the government are waging war against tpv.
Someone else reckons David has the cooperates running scared. Funny how it is not them i see running around screaming HEEEEEEEELP HEEEEEEELP GIVE ME MONEY WE ARE GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEE.

So who is scared? is the one begging for help and donations the one needs helping and suffering fear or is it the one that does not ask for help nor feel the need to recieve help that is riddled by fear?

I personally think this is new-age evangelists and nothing more annoying and destructive than those try force help on those dont want it.
They attempt to instill fear where no fear is present in order to offer their solution which is not required by people with no fear.


On a slightly different angle but not unrelated to the dubious values displayed by The People's Voice, there has been a suggestion that TPV should implement electronic surveillance in their premises to keep an eye on the staff. It has also been suggested that TPV should only use self-employed people so that they don't have to contribute towards National Insurance or have to pay for sick leave or holiday pay.

If any of The People's Voice management are reading, here is somebody who has equipment which may be able to extract mites from widows more efficiently and a technique for sofa cash removal.



The People's Voice: A New Pearl Harbor [sic]

I'm not the only person to smell a rotting red herring regarding the latest wave of 'attacks' on everything linked to David Icke and TPV. I first suspected it in the first few weeks after The People's Voice started streaming - every time there was a technical hitch, or more likely, gross incompetence, the Corporal Jones figure of David Icke would start rabbiting about being under attack followed by the bleating of every other member of his flock; most of them parroting jargon which they probably did not remotely comprehend.

There were DDoS attacks, hacking and sabotage of the teleprompter. The very fact that they wer using a teleprompter whilst knocking the mainstream news media presenters for reading from scripts is just one of many sore thumbs which does not seem to have bothered those responsible for the running of TPV. Far from it being an alternative to the mainstream media, it has merely reflected it.

Then, just as it looked like The People's Voice was going to croak because those managing it had blown all the money and the ill-timed and over-ambitious telethon (just over a week after Christmas when most people are skint and asking for four times the initial target of the first appeal) was dying in the water, David Icke put out a video which most outside his claque would recognise as a transparent emotional blackmail. If people did not give more money, their grandchildren would suffer horrible painful death at the hands of the New World Order.

Now, apart from those busy fulfilling their roles as useless eaters, who would deny the threat of the New World Order or perhaps if it suits one's personal paradigm, an entity of some other name? That is not really moot here. But the self-portrait as the sobbing wounded saviour of humanity who has dedicated his life to spreading information - whilst conveniently not mentioning making a great deal of money from it and shutting down anybody who tried to share that information without him getting his whack.

This hysterical extortion was not enough, though. A day or so later, it was announced that there had been a fresh wave of attacks; all the videos on the YouTube account of The People's Voice had been deleted, the PayPal account had been hacked and the Indigogo appeal page had been defaced.

There hasn't been very much evidence of these attacks made public but it all seems a bit coincidental, convenient and not to say odd. Odd because from the perspective of most observers, the output of The People's Voice has been very poor, bland and benign - nothing like the hard hitting champion of the people which had been promised, though, to be completely fair, with one or two very notable exceptions.

So, why is there no evidence of any of this? And why are the TPV hackers the only hackers who do not parade all over the internet with evidence of their conquests; posting a screen grab of a defaced website is mandatory for a hacker. If, as I am sure David Icke would like everybody to believe, the hackers were government agents, would they not try to pass themselves off as some shady disparate  bunch of geeks? Surely, they wouldn't want anybody suggesting that agents of the Crown had tried to interfere with the operations of a legitimate OfCom licensed broadcasting company.

But there is a mole, apparently, a mole who has been identified and allowed to continue operating in their midst and who will be publicly revealed in the next two weeks. Now, I think anybody would agree that knowing about an infiltrator is a definite strategic advantage in the right circumstances but surely, when one is running amok causing (supposedly) a great deal of damage to an operation, where is the advantage? Having a phantom mole is just a convenient cover story for the self-inflicted injuries that David Icke and his confederates are using to garner sympathy.

It's pretty despicable for somebody to resort to the deceitful and oppressive tactics of which they accuse tyrants.

Alex Jones vs the Israeli Defense Force Fanatic at the JFK Memorial Demonstration

I am a bit late with this one as I should have posted it in November when it happened but there were other things which were demanding my attention.

Like many, I suppose, having little better to do on a rainy Friday afternoon, I found myself watching a live stream of the protests in Dallas, Texas to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F Kennedy.

Everything was as might have been expected, Alex Jones was mouthing off to a loyal mob of listeners who had turned up to get his autograph or touch his coat tails and there was a bit of argy-bargy with the police which happened mainly off camera and was over so quickly that I missed it.

But there was one protester who followed Jones waving an Israeli flag which made me both curious and uncomfortable. It's a bit of an acknowledged truism that Alex Jone never speaks out against Israel's atrocities against the Palestinians nor does he ever give truc to any notion that Israel may have had any involvement in September 11th attacks despite volumous evidence which deserves attention if not thorough scrutiny.

Eventually, as can be seen in the following video at 3h 50m 47s, Jones asks the man with the flag why he has it and the man replies that Israel has the best army in the world, it was the perfect opportunity for him to draw attention, should it be of any concern him, to the oppression and slaughter of the Palestinians but he didn’t, he simply agreed that it was a very strong trained military.

I feel quite certain that his role is to divert attention from all Israel’s malfeasance and point the finger in any expediently different direction. After many years wondering about Alex Jones, this was the moment that the penny dropped.





The People's Voice T-Shirt Ideas Which Were Rejected

I've just come out of a long meeting with executives at The People's Voice* having tried to persuade them to accept my T-shirt ideas but unfortunately they were outvoted by the Ché Icke baseball cap and the I Like Icke button badge. Still, if they change their minds, I'll post them here for their reconsideration.

Firstly, here is a design which is exclusivley for donors to The People's Voice.

Then we have a little reminder of how it all began.

Finally, my personal favourite, which has multi-layered subtlety. For anybody struggling with this one, there is an explanation hidden below.





*Not really.

This is the barcode from David Icke's book, '...and the truth shall set you free'.

The truth is that everything about David Icke reeks of hypocrisy from the barcode on his books which are sold on Amazon to his exhotion that everything including money is an illusuion to his extortion of hard cash from his followers with television evangelist style emotional blackmail. From his claims of giving the people an uncensored voice whilst his forum administrators and moderators weild Stalinist
powers deleting and banning dissent and his utter compliance with authority such as obtaining an OfCom license for TPV and paying his poll tax whilst advocating that people do not comply.

Did you ever wonder why nobody checks David Icke's work?

There is shit flying in all directions regarding The People's Voice and the not wholly inexpected departure of one of its stars - the factors involved were far too volatile for there to be peace and love.

But whilst the aroows rain down on both sides, it's reassuring that David Icke, with true goalkeeping discipline, has not taken his eye off the ball. He is maintaining a steady output of thoroughly researched articles for his site's headlines page. And there, in the midst of the news stories for today, 9th January 2014, is the following image:


You will notice that the caption asks, 'Did you ever wonder why "Latin" was removed from STATE schools?' It is not really clear why the word Latin is wrapped in quotation marks or indeed why the word STATE needs to be shouted. But anyway, the image then shows the coat of arms of the City of London or, more precisely, the City of London Corporation, as opposed to the actual city of London itself.

Anyway, that hors d'oeuvres of pedantry out of the way, on to the plat principal. The motto on the coat of arms reads, 'DOMINE DIRIGE NOS' and below the image is a list of suggested translations of the Latin motto which appear to assert that the motto means something about mistress or domination dividing or destroying us.

Well, the first word is not far from being a rough translation, it's actually the wrong gender as it translates as lord. However, the second word is misspeled in the list (right next to the word itself) and instead of being spelled dirige is spelled diripio and so any translation of this is irrelevant because it isn't even the right word.

Nos is corectly translated as us.

So, whilst this image tells those who will not bother to check (i.e. probably every devotee of David Icke) that the motto translates as something akin to mistress destroy us or tyranny divides us what it actually means is. lord guide us; a fact which can easily be verified with any online Latin translator if you don't happen to have a Latin scholar at hand. And if you can't find an online tranlator, there is always Google:

http://translate.google.com/#la/en/domine%20dirige%20nos

Such risible rubbish is standard fayre on David Icke's headlines page but also throughout his prolific canon which none of his disciples ever bother to check. This excellent piece by Martin Frost from five years ago must have escaped David Icke's attention otherwise he would have heeded its advice.

Finally, there is plenty of comment elsewhere on the current state of chaos at The People's Voice, without any need for my input, perhaps the most cogent of which is earthlinggb's blog here:

The People's Voice - a slight throat infection

It seems there may be laryngitis at The People’s Voice - all is not well.

Whilst I am critical of much of the way The People’s Voice operates, I generally think the idea is a good one - so good, in fact, that I had it myself in 2002 in the run up to the war on Iraq but learned that many people live in a ‘can’t be done’ paradigm. Thos same people tried to stand in my and other people’s way to stop us from taking other positive steps but failure was theirs.

There is a massive difference between standing in the way and trying to prevent something and offering constructive criticism - though, of course, constructive criticism may not be received as intended - especially if the recipient is as prickly as some. But when that constructive criticism is ignored and consequences unfold accordingly, it would only be with massive restraint or indifference that the constructive criticism did not turn negative.

From the outset, an from well beforehand as stated, I have thought that something along the lines of The People’s Voice was an excellent idea. However, having somebody like David Icke as its figurehead was a fundamental error. There is no way that David Icke is going to shake off the reptilian/hollow Moon albatross, the rotting carcass of which poisons the well of what is coyly called the ‘truth movement’. In fact, just in case the corpse has sunk into the sediment, David Icke will periodically stir it up again. Even most of the members of David Icke’s forum (who are, as will be shown later, completely ignored) do not believe in this stuff - so why does David Icke maintain it as the bedrock what he professes and, perhaps more importantly, why does he have so many followers who actually think that what he says is a load of bollocks? And if his they don’t actually believe what he professes, his lack of credibility beyond his following is a serious liability.

As far as The People’s Voice is concerned, it would appear that its days may be numbered unless it takes a radical tack to avoid the rocks. The  second ‘telethon’, which took place on the first Friday after the Christmas and New Year break when most people have either spent up or have got themselves in so much debt to satisfy the consumer needs with which they have conditioned their children and a mere week or so from what has become known as ‘Blue Monday’, the most depressing day of the year, raised just over £6,000 towards its 30 day target of £400,000. The current campaign is labelled as ‘flexible funding’, unlike the ‘fixed funding’ of the original campaign. It’s unclear how a campaign is nominated for flexible funding but essentially, it means that the funds are released at the end of the campaign whether or not the target is met - as things stand, it seems unlikely that £13,333 per day will be raised when only £6,000 has been raised in the 24 hours following the telethon.

So, what has gone wrong? Why does an internet based television station which had initially asked for £100,000 but received £300,000 suddenly found itself in urgent need for another £400,000? The answer to that may remain a mystery because despite the fact that the project was funded by donations, David Icke and his business partner, Sean Adl-Tabatabai, do not seem to think that the transparency which would be expected of any other entity dealing with public money is necessary.

Discrepancies in the scant figures have been revealed by those who have volunteered at the Wembley headquarters of The People’s Voice and no account has been made of what became of the £300,000 especially in light of the much celebrated studio equipment being acquired for a song, in relative terms:

David Icke: And the little question about approximately £270K of profit from donations

It is also apparent from many posts on the David Icke forum that the incentive gifts from the first telethon which began at the end of May 2013 have not yet materialised. Unfortunately, it looks like some of the money which they are hoping to raise now may have to be used to pay for the incentives which were promised eight months ago. This is the territory of absurd and the way that government budget is treated like a family paying their household bills with a credit card. National debt spirals off into the invisible distant future, to infinity and beyond.

Let us not forget, at this point, that David Icke professes that money is an illusion. Despite the fact that David Icke claims that everything is a hologram he does not offer an explanation why he needs money if everything, including money, is imaginary but the argument, which percolates via his acolytes, seems to be that we are living in the real world. This kind of inconsistency is what one might expect from a cult leader, surely, not somebody who claims to have the answers to release us from the shackles of our enslavement.

David Icke posts stories on his headlines page every day of the abject poverty in which many people are forced to live these days. If he were to venture into his own forum, he might notice that many of the people who post are amongst those who are struggling most of all. He seems to be asking them to give up their meagre income (even as little as a pound a month) so that he can build his vanity castle in the sky.

Since its launch, The People’s Voice has been riddled with problems, perhaps the most serious for a media company being dead air, long periods - sometimes hours on end - of blackness and silence or, if we were lucky, an endless graphic loop. The audio is often awful and mixed so badly that it is impossible to listen. There are self-promoting adverts which come on straight after low audio and practically rupture speakers. It has been suggested that these audio levels may even breach the OfCom regulations to which The People’s Voice controversially agreed by being licensed. But the main question here has to be, is nobody actually monitoring what is going out? It would be a massive oversight if nobody is because nobody seems to take a blind bit of notice what anybody outside the cl-ICKE says.

The best bit of unintentional self parody, by the way, was Gareth Icke’s shot to camera during one of the promotional videos saying, ‘…who needs rules? BLEEP rules!’

There is no tolerance of criticism - anybody who does air their feelings on the David Icke forum, for example, is castigated and put on the spot to justify themselves and say how much money they have donated or what they have done to support The People’s Voice. But there is a strong feeling that it is The People’s Voice in name only and that nobody who is not directly involved is heard.

The published schedule rarely bears any resemblance to what is actually broadcast - it would not be difficult for anybody with a very slight knowledge to edit a web page to reflect what had been lined up to be shown. The office looks full of computers which are surely all connected to the internet.

Threads on his website forum are abundant with posts from people who have offered their skills to The People’s Voice and have not received so much as an acknowledgement. The staff is furnished with people who were already connected in one way or another to David Icke or   Sean Adl-Tabatabai so it seems impossible for anybody with real technical knowledge, skills and experience to get their foot in the door.

There is a minor revolt on the David Icke forum about the continued inclusion in the schedule of the phoney psychic, Monica Sepulveda who has upset many people with her rudeness whilst demonstrating her ineptitude at even cold reading callers. As one forum poster pointed out, ‘she gave a reading for [a] guys dead dad. It turns out it was actually his brother that had died and she'd misheard, his dad was alive and well and sat next to him’. But as another has also claimed. ‘She's also a 'friend' of Icke's, so look likes she's staying.

Some of the programmes can be quite interesting and informative one minute and the next minute let somebody with significant questions to answer slip through their fingers - the perfect example of this being Richie Allen’s cosy chat with Edwina Currie of whom he failed to demand explanation the uninvestigated revelation in her autobiography that ‘…he’s what they call a “noted pederast”, with a liking for young boys. He admitted as much . . . when he became deputy chairman of the party but added: “However, I’m very discreet” — and he must be!’ going on to say that the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher was aware of his ways.

Other presenters can be very unconvincing. On her recent and highly acclaimed (by David Icke’s forum followers) visit to the anti-fracking demonstration at Barton Moss, Sonia Poulton started to say that the real agenda behind fracking was a mass depopulation programme. When she was asked (quite understandably and in a very friendly way - she was at an anti-fracking demonstration, after all) how depopulation, vaccination and GMO foods related to fracking, there was a moment of passive aggression when she said sarcastically and with a poignant hand gesture, ‘is this forty questions? because I don’t mind’. Unfortunately, she sounded like she was trying to recite something which might have been written by David Icke and stumbled around key words and phrases like ‘Agenda 21’ and ‘killing by stealth’  in a way which made it sound like she wanted to be seen to know what she was talking about without actually synthesising any of her own thoughts - possibly having to ween herself off the autocue. Sonia Poulton can be a good presenter when she is on her own territory but very often she looks out of her depth - especially when she is parroting David Icke. What does he repeat about repeaters.


Whilst it is very clear that the venture is being very poorly managed from the apex down, expect another very stern talking to from David Icke very soon to tell you that you are not providing enough money to keep The People’s Voice going and to be made to feel guilty that The People’s Voice may not continue for much longer. And as you are recoiling from every lash of David Icke’s tongue, take a little time to reflect on the way that the poor and underprivileged have been made to take the brunt for the government’s mismanagement of the economy and the crimes of those in institutions which are beyond reproach.
