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.

Lord of War: Man of God Applauds Arms Trade

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?

Just to close, here is the URL to the disappeared thread on the David Icke Forum and a screen grab:

Another Volunteer Leaves TPV

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.
