12:15- Bargain Hunt: Fake eccentrics wear silly jackets and bow ties in an attempt to impress lonely old ladies.

19:30- Eastenders: Cultural Marxism masquerading as drama, with random murders keeping the public in a constant state of anxiety and fear and with story-lines that push the neoliberal agenda of multiculturalism, homosexuality and everything else that is designed to destroy western civilisation.

22:30- Local News: Apparently not. Are you scared yet?

22:37- Weather: Random guesses about whether or not it’s going to rain tomorrow.

22:40- Imagine: Alan Yentob (former ‘Director of Drama, Entertainment and Children's Programming’ on the BBC during the Jimmy Saville child-rape era and chairman of fradulent, money-wasting charity ‘Kid’s Company’) is given legitimacy that he does not deserve. Here he interviews one of his old architect mates. A show for the drunk, dead, or family members of Mr. Yentob.

23:50- Possession: 2002 movie about eccentric English poets. Reviewed on the BBC website by Jamie Russell, where he describes it as, ‘Lacking the intelligence of an arthouse picture, or the classy sheen of a British production, "Possession" isn't possessed of anything other than over-wrought emotionalism and unintentional silliness.’


Goodnight, and thankyou for wasting your day on BBC One. Same s**t tomorrow? You betcha.

Comic review: Inhumans-Attilan Rising #5- ‘There is no freedom in this world.’

Writer: Charles Soule
Artist: John Timms
Publisher: Marvel
Released: 23rd September 2015



I’ve had a pretty intense comic book reading week. Dealing with the liberally skewed distortions of reality that come from progressive statists can be hard-work, so to end my week on a soft landing I’ve decided to conclude with a quick look at one of Marvel’s ‘Battleworld’ event books.

That book is ‘Inhumans-Attilan Rising #5’ by Charles Soule, a writer who writes a lot, some of it good, some of it very good, and some of it painfully mediocre. Inhumans #5 fits securely into the ‘good’ category.

The story isn’t particularly complex or revelatory, but I did get a glimmer of truth from it, something to use for my own deviously anti-statist purposes. What am I talking about?

I’ll explain.

The narrative is about subjugation, about a people being enslaved, and not really understanding that they are enslaved.

‘The world is not as we have been told. We are DOOM’S playthings. He caused DEVICES to be built into New Attilan that broadcast a signal. It keeps the populace from realising one essential truth…There is no freedom in this world.’ (Medusa)

Replace ‘Doom’ with ‘Government’ and ‘Devices’ with ‘Mainstream media’ and you pretty much have a perfect encapsulation of what is happening in the western ‘democratic’ world today. A tax net population enslaved under the illusion of authority, propagandised through their televisions, newspapers and I-devices, and told that their enslavement isn’t actually enslavement at all. That’s our world, and that’s how we live today, but how many of us see it for what it actually is?

Do you see it, or are you getting angry with me for pointing it out? My message is simple. You are owned, and your owner is government. I don’t even think that this is a particularly extreme thing for me to say. It’s a bit like me pointing out that water is wet, so why do people get so angry with me for pointing it out? Oh well, that’s the matrix that we all live in. It annoys me, but I’m used to it now.

Did Charles Soule deliberately include an anti authority meaning within his comic book narrative, or is it just me (as a nasty, anti-authoritarian anarchist) that is putting meaning into something that is not there?

To me, it doesn’t really matter. The meaning is there, whether it was deliberate or not. I read comics to find meaning, not for purely hedonistic purposes. That’s what I do, that’s the main reason why I’m writing these ‘reviews’ on my blog and not working for a comic book website that values hedonism and entertainment over reality.

That doesn’t mean that I’m a complete masochist though. I read comic books for fun as well, and as a comic book existing purely as a vehicle for narrative excitement and thrills, Inhumans-Atillan Rising #5 is pretty decent. The story is fast paced, the characters are interesting, and the art, by John Timms, is very pleasing to the eye. The final panel in particular is superb, featuring a young lady looking absolutely stunning.

So, that’s it for my blog this week. The Tithe #5 is the one book that you need to track down. 2000AD PROG 1949 features a very revealing contrast between two authoritarian Judges. Negative Space #2 is creatively weird and fun, and Inhumans-Attilan Rising #5 is a lot better than I thought that it would be.


Rating: 7/10 (Sweet art, involving story, interesting characters, worth checking out)

The infiltration of marxist, feminist, neo-liberal, progressive, collectivist ideology in contemporary US comic books: Can you see the Elephant in the living-room?

I haven’t reviewed many comic books this week, reason being that there hasn’t been anything released that is actually worth reviewing.

I don’t want to repeat myself, and I don’t want to waste my money, so why should I bother with DC, Marvel, Darkhorse (and the others) and their weekly round of identity politics, ignoring reality, nonsense?

If I want to see emasculated males and empowered females acting like the worst of men I’ll watch mainstream television. I’m not a fan of mainstream television. The anti-family/anti human programming is getting out of control now. If the collapsing Roman Empire had television I strongly suspect that it would look a lot like mainstream television looks today.

A culturally programmed ident-kit PC generation.

Blood, sex, violence, torture, inhumanity, pandering to corporations, banks and their puppet political parties, pushing drugs, pushing junk celebrity culture and ignoring all of the important issues of our times, whilst lying to us and telling us that ignorance is strength and that freedom is slavery. Who is running television these days? I assume it’s promoted idiots pushing an agenda that they don’t know about, not that they would care anyway, just as long as they continue to enjoy their lovely careers as the propaganda chiefs of a sick and decaying culture.

Television is a non-stop parade of freaks, creeps and idiots, and it’s all aimed at the mindset of a brain damaged perpetually adolescent child. It’s sick, so sick that it needs to be put down for it’s own good.

Contemporary US comic books take the satanic sickness of mainstream television, make every bloody story about a government sponsored teenage girl, and off they go, empowering the world by pushing marxist feminist, progressive, liberal slavery to the state.

Soft, cute, cuddly and deadly.

I’m a forty-two year old guy who grew up in a world that wasn’t completely taken over by the new world order banks and corporations that run it (the west anyway) today. I grew up reading stories where men were still men. I grew up reading stories that promoted freedom, not collectivism. I grew up reading stories that cared more about telling a good adventure yarn than pushing identity politics and cultural marxism.

So when I read a contemporary comic book in 2015, and read panel after panel, book after book of something that looks like it was constructed as a group project from a neo-liberal, feminist/marxist college class, how do you think I am supposed to react?

I’d be a bit odd if I liked it. I’d be a bit odd if I pretended that the programming wasn’t there, and I would be an out and out LIAR if I didn’t mention it when I reviewed a comic book.

So I mention it. I mention the nonsense that is going on in contemporary comic books, and I go online and check out all of the other reviews of the same book. And what do I read? I read positive reviews, negative reviews, indifferent reviews. They discuss the art, the dialogue, the plot twists, the panel layout, the individual characters (it’s all about the characters really) but none of them mention the big old FARTING AND SNORTING ELEPHANT in the living-room.

It bewilders me. Can they not see it? They are reading a comic book that is full to the brim with cultural programming, yet to them, it’s as normal as breathing air as you sleep, which is an apt comparison, because it appears that that is exactly what is happening here. A generation programmed with cultural marxism as they sleep, and they don’t even know that it is happening.

New boss, same as the old boss.

Am I being unfair here? Maybe they do see it. Maybe they like it. Maybe they want it. Maybe, the prisoner/slave training is so advanced now, that anybody under the age of his/her mid-thirties is unable to differentiate between living in a cage, and living as a free human being?

You know the old story about freed slaves not wanting to be free, right? Perhaps that’s what’s happened to the west today? Decades of cultural programming has left us defeated, unable to free ourselves, and worst of all, unwilling to even try, because we like it, we like being slaves, and all we really want, is more slavery?

It’s a terrifying thought, but this might be the end. The new generations are tied up in identity politics. They are slaves and they like being slaves, just as long as the new slave master is of the right gender, skin tone and sexuality, of course. This is just a short little rant, and I’ll end it with a couple of questions. Answer if you like. Carry on reading comics as usual if you don’t even care.

Can you see the elephant in the living-room?

And if you can, does it even bother you?

Comic Review (X-Files) Millennium #5- Sleepwalking Into a New Dark Age

Writer: Joe Harris
Artist: Colin Lorimer
Colourist: Joana Lafuente
Publisher: IDW Publishing
Released: 3rd June 2015



This X-Files cross-over book has now come to it’s dramatic conclusion, the series is over, put up your feet and stick the kettle on. So let’s scratch our noggins and ask the question, was it worth it?

For the nostalgia, art and beautiful colouring, yes. For the story and any deeper meaning that I could salvage from it, not really.

It did give me one thing though, that being a reminder of the times in which I am now living. A time when old (middle-aged really) men are portrayed as the sad, dying past and young girls are presented as the shining new, hope filled future.

It’s a lie of course, as everything connected to the corporate whore mainstream media is, that kind of goes without saying, though I do like to repeat it, less we forget.

I did however find Millennium #5 to be useful, as it’s narrative conclusion is a mirror that points at the norms of contemporary comic book culture. I can now take that mirror and shine it back onto itself, and explore what is happening within mainstream comic book, and corporate media programming.

The useful mainstream/corporate sponsored narrative 'liberal' lie of our age goes thus: The ‘mistakes’ of the past, the ‘mistakes’ that have made the world so unfair today, were caused by racist, sexist, homophobic white men. What we need now is a new age of strong independent young, multi-racial women with purple hair, nose rings and blurred sexual identities to see us into the promised land of butterflies, tolerance and free lollypops for everyone.

The implication here of course is that there is nothing wrong with the system itself, it's the people within the system that need to be changed, then everything will work out just fine.

Funny, isn’t it? You have to laugh, if you don’t then it’s crying time, and what’s the point in getting all depressed about the mainstream media anyway? It’s dying, it’s message is discredited, the lies are catching up with it, and whatever it portrays is well known to be fraudulent, manipulative bs coming direct from PR firm’s press releases, regurgitated onto newspapers and television screens by career journalists who couldn’t give a damn about the truth and what is going on in the world.

The mainstream media might be dying, but it still has the power to set the agenda. When that agenda is neo-feminism, lots of young girls are going to buy into it, not because they want to make the world a better place, but because the system is now opening doors where young women can have successful careers working for the corrupt system of human enslavement.

It might not be a very moral thing to do, to join a cartel of human slave owners, but the pay will be good, and the feminist guff gives it the illusion of ‘progress’ as well.

Lots of young men will go along with this nonsense as well, not because it benefits them, but because they want to impress young girls and show how politically correct their attitudes are, even if that means them facing a lifetime of low paid work or unemployment. They’ll understand later on, but by then it will be too late for them to do anything about it.

The new slave handlers, or management class of humanity, will be women, with careers and money thrown at them to keep them onboard. Not all women, of course, it will be a rat race for those controller jobs and those who do get them will actually feel like they have accomplished something, when all they are doing is helping the neo-liberal slavery system to continue business as usual.

Writer Joe Harris (of Millennium) is not part of some great ‘conspiracy,’ where he is subtly influencing the minds of his young readers. The conspiracy doesn’t work like that. What he is doing in this book, by having a young woman defeat evil, reject the help and advice of her father and leave to join a cool and sexy secret group (Hello CIA) is to play into the agenda as being set by the dying mainstream media.

All of the old men in this book are useless bystanders. They represent yesterday’s way of thinking. They represent a failed generation, used up, worn out and no longer needed. The female protagonist has the power of options now, and she doesn’t need old men in her life anymore.

She wants to join something cool, something fresh, something sexy, and something that will really upset her mean old Daddy. What does he know anyway? He’s just an old man, and he failed. She will choose to be used by the system, the system wants her, they can feed off each other, parasitic and diseased, they can rot the collective soul of humanity together. She can even kid herself that she is keeping evil under wraps, when she herself is the very embodiment of it.

Harris is working on a subconscious level here, and is producing a story that is allowable, that will shift a few units, comply with the PC dictates of the time, and not upset anybody. To this end he has succeeded.

Old fans of the X-Files and a couple of new fans will read the book. They will enjoy the art, and it will be mostly forgotten. What will remain, however, is the idea that the new age is a female age, that males are no longer necessary, that the system is fine, it just needs a personnel change, and that experience doesn’t bring wisdom, it brings obsolescence.

I don’t mind having women in positions of authority, but changing the gender of the person holding the whip is not genuine change, it’s Obama change, it’s fraudulent, and we need to call it out for what it is. Placing women in positions that used to be held by men is not the way to change a corrupt system. The system will easily adapt, and women thinking of themselves as survival of the fittest Darwinian alpha-females will be used as pawns and puppets against humanity, just as the men have been used before.

The cries of sexism, racism and homophobia will herald the dawn of the new world order, and as the lucky chosen few, purple hair and nose rings amongst them, take their positions as cattle controllers, for the vast majority, it’s more of the same.

There will be a new, friendlier feminine voice barking out the orders, as opposed to the old and out of date masculine version, but nothing else of any substance will change for the slaves on the corporate plantation. That is the vision of the future that is being presented in so many mainstream media narratives, and also in this fabulously coloured and drawn, but woefully entrapped in the mainstream matrix X-Files cross-over comic book. You boys have had your fun, but it's all about the girls now.

I loved how it looked, but the more I think about the story, the more depressed it makes me feel about the state of the world as it is, and also what is going to come next for the entire human race as a whole. But will I let it get me down? No way, the future is not set in stone, and slave masters don’t always get what they want, especially when the slaves get wind of what they are up to.



Rating: 5/10: The art and colouring by Colin Lorimer & Joana Lafuente worked so well together, creating something that I enjoyed looking at, even if the story itself ultimately didn’t offer me that much except confirmation of the agenda that I’m already (vote Hillary) aware of.

Book Review: Truth is a Lonely Warrior- The Meaning of Life

Full title: Truth Is A Lonely Warrior- Unmasking The Forces Behind Global Destruction
Author: James Perloff
Publisher: Refuge Books
Released: October 10th 2013
Author’s website:
http://jamesperloff.com/truth-is-a-lonely-warrior/



Have you ever read a book review that started out by discussing the meaning of life? Perhaps you have. I don’t know, but if you haven’t, you’re in for a new experience, because that’s exactly what I’m about to do here, to discuss the meaning of life.

James Perloff

I don’t even know why it’s such a mystery really, as to me it’s simple. The meaning of life is to grow, physically and spiritually. The first part is easy. It’s the second part that people have problems with.

Life is a test. You are challenged to grow from the baseness of the body, and material desires, to spiritual enlightenment, fulfilment, or Nirvana.

That’s the goal, and that’s what you are here for, to understand that you are a spiritual being having a material experience in order to learn and grow.

Do you know how you are guaranteed to get nowhere? Sit in your house, watch television, and go to work, and back. Repeat forever, don’t forget to eat, and don’t forget to vote every four years or so. Is that life? Yeah, it’s life, but do you think that you were put on this beautiful and terrible planet to do just that?

I don’t, and that’s why I come across like a pompous ass, and talk about concepts like truth, knowledge, morality and spiritual enlightenment. It makes me unpopular, but seeing as popularity is not something that I’m going for, I can deal with it. No, what interests me more than anything else is learning the truth about the world, so I read. I attempt to gain knowledge about what has gone on, what is going on, and therefore what is likely to happen in the future.

A lot of people like myself, with my thirst for knowledge, start off with history books, and that’s what I did, and continue to do. But as I continued to read and grow I saw a pattern emerging. That pattern was the control of information, through the schooling and educational and media monopoly systems that are corporate/government sponsored. It became increasingly apparent to me that knowledge was being controlled and manipulated to serve the agenda of the status quo control system structures of our society.

Examples are everywhere, from the JFK assassination, to the suspicious circumstances surrounding 9/11. The mainstream acceptance of government sources was getting ridiculous, so I began to search outside of the mainstream, to look at information that was not government approved.

This questioning of official sources seems pretty obvious now, especially after what happened with the Iraq war and the mythical WMD’s, but the process of awakening takes a long time. It’s not like the Matrix movie, you don’t wake up one day in a tank of goo. You have to read, watch videos, listen to long talks, question everything, especially the new information, and come to your own understanding of what is going on in the world. I’m not fully there yet, but compared to fifteen years ago, a time when I didn’t question anything, I’m a completely different person now.

Mocking the msm idea of the paranoid 'conspiracy nut.'

That brings me to this book, ‘Truth Is A Lonely Warrior- Unmasking The Forces Behind Global Destruction, by James Perloff. The book looks at the world from a Christian point of view, and that fact alone would have put me off reading it before my slow process of awakening. Fresh from my mainstream education into atheism I would have laughed at it, mocking the very idea of Christianity and I would have refused to even read the book.

If I was forced to read it, I would have rushed through it, determined to mock it with a scathing review that I’m sure would include some reference to Richard Dawkin’s and the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the sky.

I would have done that before, but not now. With the university arrogance now just a distant (bad) memory, I look at the book with impartial eyes, and I carefully process the information, reading the facts, the details and not just what I want to read in it.

The book is not only from a Christian point of view, it’s from an American one. The writer is American, so it’s understandable that he wants to know what has happened to his country, and why it has become the global Empire of lies, war and destruction that it is today. The book takes the reader on a journey, starting with the false flag (deliberate acts designed to justify war) that define America’s history. It talks about the banking cartel that has taken over the country and how they use the media, education, freemasonry, environmentalism, terrorism and wars to control a nation. The book also discusses the ideologies of Zionism and Marxism and how they tie into Satan’s plan, the plan being the creation of a New World Order, a centralised control system for the entire planet.

A lot of this is not new to me personally. I read about this agenda all of the time. I see it being justified on my television set and newspapers by the puppet politicians, as they come and go, changing their faces, their races, their genders, but always pushing the same totalitarian control system, and the creation of this tyrannical one world government control system for the entire planet.

I’m not a fan of government. As a general rule, and with regard to my historical understanding of world history I think it’s an unarguable fact that the more government you have, the less freedom you get. So the idea of one all-powerful WORLD government controlling everything and everybody is completely insane in my eyes. Why would anybody want that? It’s madness, and I’ll fight will all I have to stop it from happening.

‘Truth Is A Lonely Warrior,’ is a concise, easy to read book that gives a historical context to what is happening in America right now. It doesn’t mess around. It’s angry, and it wants to tell you all about what is happening, and who is responsible. It’s particularly detailed when it comes to the truth behind vaccinations, giving testimonial after testimonial from Doctors and parents of children damaged by them.

Reds under the bed.

If you didn’t already know about the eugenics programme that is modern vaccinations, then this book will shock you, not because it’s silly ‘conspiracy’ opinion, but because it contains cold hard facts and detailed evidence about what is actually going on.

The book is split into tightly edited chapters, and the writer uses a kid friendly technique of using a little frowny face as a dissenter, questioning him as he goes along. It helps to clarify points, and is very useful, not just to young readers, but to adults who instantly dismiss any new information as a reflex reaction caused by their many years of mainstream indoctrination.

I sped through the book relatively quickly, and I have to applaud the writer for his clarity, for a writing style that was extremely reader friendly, enjoyable, angry, but always aware that a book with important information should steer away from being too dense and too academic.

I would give this book as a gift, to either a child (ten or above) or an adult not yet aware of what is happening in the world. I would give it as a gift that is intended to spur spiritual growth. It’s strongest on vaccines, and the influence of Marxism today, and how it has become a huge factor in mainstream educational establishments, warping the mind of supposed ‘intellectuals’ making the bright dumb, and convincing them that they are superior from the common cattle whilst doing so. 

I enjoyed the book, and now I will pass it on.

Help each other out, share what you have learnt. It’s not always going to make you the most popular person in the room, but the meaning of life is to grow in spiritual knowledge, not just in social-status and popularity. Truth might be a lonely warrior, but what else are you living this life for?


Rating: 10/10 (Reader friendly and packed full of essential information)

Review: Sheltered #15 (THE FINAL ISSUE)- Formulaic book, horrible ending

Writer: Ed Brisson
Artist: Johnnie Christmas
Publisher: Image Comics
Released: 11th March 2015


It was all random, and meaningless. The story was about the personalities involved, nothing else. The authorities were blameless. Any questioning of official narratives is being disrespectful of the dead. ‘Closure’ is all that matters. Let’s move on. Nothing to see here. End of story.

Does all of that sound familiar to you? It does to me. It’s the usual pattern that you see repeated in the mainstream media when anything involving the Police occurs. The message is clear. Trust in authority, don’t look, and don’t ask questions.

That’s the ending of Sheltered, well it should have been, but keep on reading to the final panel and you’ll get a twist that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.  It comes across very badly, and I know that it’s going to upset a lot of readers.

So what happened? Why did writer Ed Brisson go with the final panel twist that negated everything else that he had previously written?

My guess is that he looked at the ending to his formulaic cult leader story, thought it was a bit dull, so went for the obvious twist in order to spice things up a bit. It didn’t work.

It failed because it was cheap, easy and unconvincing. It failed because it wasn’t properly thought out and was lacking in creativity. It failed because it was the kind of twist that you would expect to read in a child’s first story in a creative writing class.

So, what should he have done? Should he have gone with the dull ending? No, he should have written a better story that had more depth and more ideas, but he didn’t do that, so he was left with only two choices: 1- End it with the surviving characters looking sad. 2- End it with the predictable (yet unconvincing) twist.

He opted for the later, but it was his lack of creativity that forced him into this corner in the first place.

Ed Brisson can put a narrative together. He’s shown that in this book, but you have to ask yourself this question- Does the man have anything to say? My answer, after reading fifteen issues of Sheltered is NO. That sounds harsh, but that’s how I feel after investing all of my time and money in Sheltered.

I won’t be reading anything else from the pen of Ed Brisson. I gave him a chance, and he didn’t deliver. I’ll continue to look for new writers who have something to say, and I’ll continue to keep on writing for myself.

Sheltered turned out to be a very ordinary cult leader book with a desperately sad, tacked on ending. There was nothing new here, and after finishing it I'm left with the feeling that I put too much faith into something that never really delivered.

As I was reading the earlier issues of this book my mind was racing with the endless possibilities where the story could have gone. In the end it went nowhere. I assumed intelligence and creativity, and what I got in return was mainstream compliance, a lack of ideas, a painfully amateur ‘twist’ ending and a book that had absolutely nothing to say. I shouldn’t have wasted my time on this one. Oh well. You live, you learn, and you move on.

Rating for issue #15: 0/10
Rating for entire series: 2/10 (Interesting start, but gets very formulaic, and ends badly)

Perhaps they just want to help?

The mainstream consensus corporate/political media elites have their collective (and yes, it is very collective) arm around certain ‘victim’ groups, crouching to support the weak, or so it seems.

How benevolent of them, don’t you think?

Would those in a position of power help people, knowing that by doing so it would threaten their own positions?

It seems unlikely.

So why would they do it?

Why would they support social justice groups if these same social justice groups threatened their centralised control system?

Answer: Social justice groups supported by the mainstream consensus corporate/political/media elites are useful, not detrimental to the agenda of the control system.

Or, perhaps the psychopathic murderous scum in charge of the slave system known as western democracy just have a soft side?

Perhaps they just want to help people?

What do you think?

Comic review: Green Lantern #40- Corporate neo-liberal brainwashing 101

Writer: Robert Venditti
Artist: Billy Tan
Publisher: DC Comics
Date of publication: 4th March 2015


I couldn’t help but read this book as the corporate mainstream whore satanic system trying to make excuses for itself, it’s actions and the fact that the alternative media is destroying its credibility on an hourly basis.

What makes me say that? Just reading the book and seeing how the Green Lantern character (Hal Jordan) is acknowledging that the system that he represents is now seen as ‘Cops, and everywhere we go, people don’t want us.’

Soldiers are not ‘cops,’ they are not peacemakers, they are not flying around the world to save and help poor innocent victim/civilians. They are told that they are the heroes, but that is a lie. We know it is a lie, everybody knows it’s a lie, so let’s start pointing it out. Uniformed order followers of the state operate as the private mercenary army of powerful banking and corporate interests, the 1% that the Occupy movement has been talking about, and ridiculed for it’s truth telling in the corporate whore mainstream media.

Green Lantern #40 is the story of one individual order following soldier. He defends the system that he is a part of, leaving it in order to personally shoulder the blame for it’s recent abuses, all of which are characterised as ‘mistakes’ rather than anything that is inherently wrong with the system itself. He acknowledges that he is not to blame, but he is prepared to shoulder that blame in order to prop up a system that he has religious faith in.

Hal Jordan has deliberately turned himself into a villain in order to back up a discredited control system. The system itself will use this sacrifice to carry on with business as usual. He’s sacrificed himself, just like a good soldier would sacrifice himself for the benefit of his comrades on a battlefield. This is a standard technique used by control systems, and the best thing about it is that no coercion is required, as the indoctrinated individuals willingly sacrifice themselves for what they see as the greater good.

Green Lantern #40 is reflecting the religious faith system of mainstream western ideology. That faith system is an unquestioning belief in neo liberal capitalism, centralised, corporate statism and with an army of order following mercenary soldiers to back it up with violence. The act of sacrifice, of having faith in a system that is rotten to the core, is presented as a heroic thing for a soldier to do.

Sacrifice yourself to the gods of the corporations.

Sacrifice yourself to the gods of the banking sector.

Sacrifice yourself to the gods of the mainstream media.

Sacrifice yourself to neo-liberal crony capitalism.

Sacrifice yourself to wars based on lies.

That’s how it works, hundreds of thousands of Hal Jordan’s pumped up with false pride, indoctrinated, propagandised since birth, sacrificing themselves to the centralised control system, the borg collective hive mind that helps the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the entire planet enslaved…forever.


Rating: 4/10 (Subconscious mind-set of a neo liberal corporate slave)

I didn’t want to write tonight- Anarchy, compromises and a nice cup of tea

I don’t want to spend my Friday evening writing. I don’t want to have to think too much, too hard, editing and sculpting my words down until they resemble something that could be passed off as a readable tract of writing. No, I would rather not say anything at all tonight. I would rather not rail against the deliberate ignorance that has invested 95% of the comic books that I read today. I don’t really want to upset the writers anyway, and they have kids to feed and they have bills and car payments and stuff, and I understand why they are running on the corporate treadmill. Yeah it’s a bit cowardly, but that’s the compromise of life, isn’t it?

If you want a wife, kids, a car, a house (and things to put in it) then you need to compromise, right? You need to put your morality aside and look after yourself first, right? Because that’s what most of us do. I look around me and I don’t see heroes. I don’t see villains. I see compromises. That’s what makes the world, those compromises fuel the evil that we pretend does not exist. Well, we pretend, but I’m here shouting about it on my blog, annoying those poor compromised writers, and I didn’t even want to write tonight, so I need to shut up. I want to make myself a cup of tea, put on some music, read a book that comes from the mind of somebody, anybody who refuses to compromise, because that’s what I want to do tonight.

Behind my left shoulder, on my clean as a politician’s soul (it’s actually a lot cleaner than that) floor, and amongst the silly, childish comic books there is a big old proper book. It’s a book about the potential that we all deliberately stifle in order to fit in, a book with a dirty word on the front cover. That book has a great title: NO GODS NO MASTERS- An Anthology of Anarchism by Daniel Guerin. Did you spot the dirty word? That word, of course, is anarchism. That filthy, never to be mentioned in polite society word signifies the freedom that we are not allowed to claim as our own, as long as we continue to bow down and worship a centralised state control system of human slavery. Yes, anarchy is such a dirty word. So dirty that it’s not allowed on television, well unless there is a university-approved expert there to soften it’s blow and remove any real meaning that it’s trying to convey. No freedom here, this screen is a no freedom zone.

Oh television, how you made me into something that I hated, moulded me into something that no longer even resembled a human being. We had a long relationship, too long, but I had to break away from you. You talked and talked and talked, but nothing was ever said.  We are strangers now. I look at you with pity, with the sad recognition that what we had was a lie, that I had to move on, that I had to grow the Hell up. Ha, I’m waffling now, so self-indulgent, and I didn’t even want to raise my head above the parapet tonight, but here it is, so take a shot. I’m a manic street preacher yapping like a little doggie into the big black bottomless GCHQ Internet void. A revolutionary, that’s me. No black mask or red flag needed, I drink tea and read a book, and I need to shut up now, stop writing (which I didn’t want to do tonight), put the kettle on and get back to my original plan for the evening. Goodnight, have a great weekend, don’t follow orders, be nice, and speak the truth.

Comic Review: Green Lantern #39- Questioning American Exceptionalism

Writer: Robert Venditti
Artist: Billy Tan
Publisher: DC Comics
Released: 4th February 2015



Green Lantern #39 is a fascinating book because it offers comic book readers a much-needed insight into the current neo-liberal world-view consensus known as ‘American exceptionalism.’

There's always a new threat used to justify US imperialism

The term is a short-hand phrase, commonly used to describe the belief (in US mainstream circles at least) that America is unique in world history, that their empire is a force for good in the world, unlike all of the other empires that have preceded it. The belief in American exceptionalism is a belief that American foreign policy/imperialism is based on issues to do with morality, freedom and human rights rather than reasons of naked corporate/banking self interest dictated by a tiny number of ‘elite’ families.

The Green Lanterns are the American military, and the Guardians are the US political leaders. The Guardians (Politicians) know best, and the Lanterns (Military/Police) unquestioningly follow their orders. The comic book narratives of our post 9/11 times have been simple. A dictator alien threatens galactic peace, and the Lanterns (or Avengers, or substitute any other group in contemporary comic books) are sent in to restore order. After lots of ‘cool’ battle scenes, a misdirection or two, the characters learning something about themselves etc, the threat is defeated, and order is restored. There is no bigger picture; no secret agendas are going on behind the scenes. That’s how these books are structured, that is how these stories unfold, not just in DC comics, but in just about every mainstream comic book available today.

US comic books back-up the mainstream corporate media consensus by supporting a world-view where the US military fly around the world saving people from evil dictators and spreading peace and democracy wherever they go.  The problem of course, is that this version of reality is a lie and in this age of Internet and whistleblower information and revelation the lies are becoming increasing self-evident.

So what happens when the US military/Green Lanterns are no longer seen as the protectors, as the good guys of the narrative? What happens when the lies propagandised through the corporate mainstream media disinformation system begin to break down and the US military are not viewed as defenders of liberty and freedom, but as harbingers of war, destruction, death and misery?

Hi John.

How do American comic books continue to spin the false narrative of US exceptionalism, of US morality, of the US defending democracy and freedom when the real world realities of the past decade lay waste to this lie? How do they get young men and women to sign up to the US military/Green Lantern Corps/Police forces when they are no longer heroes, but the villains of the story?

Green Lantern #39 has a problem. How to push the propagandistic mainstream line when this line is diametrically opposed to reality itself? It tries hard.

The book begins with the main hero protagonist (Green Lantern Hal Jordan) shown upholding the law and treating prisoners with humanity, but there’s tension with local law enforcement. They appreciate the help, but they don’t want the US World Police system that he represents, and he’s politely told to go on his way.

The Politicians

Jordan is then summoned to a meeting with his political masters (the Guardians) to receive his next orders. They outline their concerns, that the Green Lanterns (representing the US military) are becoming a bit unpopular in the galaxy. They are concerned that ‘anarchy’ is going to break out unless they are there to ‘Police’ the galaxy. That says everything that you need to know about the mind-set of contemporary comic book writers.

‘Anarchy’ to the mainstream means black masks, bricks through shop windows, riots and wanton destruction. The Police/Army/Green Lanterns/Batman/Spiderman are needed to stop humanity from destroying itself. Humanity is not to be trusted, and freedom is never on offer.

What does this say about their view of humanity? It says that comic book writers view humanity in a very suspicious, very paranoid, very evil light. This world-view sees people as inherently bad, they need to be policed, they need to be controlled, they can’t be trusted with true freedom, they need to be controlled like sheep with the threat of the sheepdog (Police) needed to keep them in line. The best way to shepherd and control the sheep/people of course is to is to herd them up, and stick them in a prison/pen.

That is the very definition of a scared liberal statist who fears humanity itself, and would rather live in a prison than be truly free. It’s the world-view of the coming New World Order, and it’s pervasive in the mainstream media today, a media that promotes fear, suspicion, and the police state as being the only thing that can protect us from ourselves.

The Soldiers/Cops.

Green Lantern #39 concludes with Soldier/Lantern Hal Jordan being given a new mission by his political masters. They recognise him as a trusted face, so they want him to ‘Help us reclaim the Corp’s good name.’ In other words, they want to use him as a public relations vehicle to sell their Galactic Police state to the DC universe. The most interesting thing about this book is that Jordan does not take the proposition at face value, and as the book concludes he thinks out loud to himself that he just might, ‘Do something crazy.'’

Will he really do something genuinely crazy in the context of a mainstream comic book? Will he challenge the very notion of authority to a centralised control system of political ‘experts’ that enforces their will on the people at the point of a gun, and with the threat of depravation of individual freedom and liberty?

Will Hal Jordan become an advocate for liberty, for anarchy, for freedom from the evils of statism and the New World Order Police state?

There’s a lot of questioning going on here, and I’m glad that I purchased this book now, because I was on the verge of dropping it from my pull-list. What’s going to happen next? Is Jordan really going to put down his uniform and start thinking, and acting based on morality, and not the US exceptionalism and lies that have defined the past thirteen years on planet Earth?

This book can go one of two ways. It could introduce a new threat and carry on business as usual, or it could start to question things on a deeper level. What is it going to be? Where is it going to go? At the moment I’m unsure, but what I do know is that issue #40 is already a must buy book.

Rating; 8/10 (For all of the intellectual stimulation that it provided)

Constantine- (TV Series)- REVIEW: Stale cigarette smoke lingers.

Available on: Amazon Prime

Original run: October 2014- Present

Starring: Matt Ryan- (As John Constantine)

Website:
http://www.nbc.com/constantine


I’ve been wasting my time on Amazon Prime, and trudging through the hypnotic, poisonous dross that is mainstream entertainment. Whilst there I stumbled across the new Constantine television show, and after watching almost six episodes of the programme I feel that I should at least say something about the experience.

Old Contantine look, needs updating for post 9/11 world

To me the character of Constantine is a rebel, but he’s a rebel stuck in time, and he has yet to be updated for the post 9/11 generation, probably for the same reason that many other characters haven’t been updated. That reason being that the post 9/11 world cannot be portrayed in the mainstream media without the mainstream implicating itself and admitting that it has been subjecting the masses to wave after wave of propaganda and disinformation ever since that false flag event was allowed to take place.

The corporate whore distraction and disinformation system (aka ‘the mainstream media’) fears mirrors more than anything else. If it puts up a mirror to it’s own face it will be disgusted, so no mirrors are allowed. To quote Kurt Cobain:

‘I’m so ugly, that’s okay because so are you. We broke our mirrors. Sunday morning is everyday for all I care.’ 

Kurt Cobain looked at himself in the mirror, saw the world, hated it, complained, hid in addiction, didn’t try to change it, or himself, took a gun and checked himself out, for good.

Kurt’s lyrics advocate living in blissful, doped out ignorance rather than facing an uncomfortable truth. The junkie wimps out, preferring to anaesthetise him/herself from reality in the soothing cocoon of addiction. The mainstream media viewer is living the same life, the only difference being that it’s ‘programming’ as opposed to heroin that is shielding addicts/viewers from the painful mirrors of reality.

More smoking in actual show please?

The Constantine television show is not as strong as Nirvana. It’s a weak drug, not very addictive, but it offers the same cocoon of non-reality that all drugs offer. It took me almost six episodes to get fed up of it, and that’s quite a lot for me.

The main actor (Matt Ryan) is a bit wobbly, sometimes good, sometimes not so good. His accent isn’t really Constantine, it’s a Welsh guy trying to sound like he comes from the 1970’s London of old Sex Pistols documentaries. I know he’s supposed to be a con man, but this con man wouldn’t fool anybody. His con fails because he’s out of date, he hasn’t updated his schtick for the I-generation, and he looks and sounds like a character from the 1990’s pretending that it’s the late 1970’s, but actually living in 2015.

Occasionally he slips into something that resembles authenticity, but he doesn’t stay there for very long, especially when he interacts with the younger characters on the show.  He’s too old to be considered ‘cool’ by teenagers, and he wears strange clothes, a uniform that looks completely out of place in a contemporary context. He looks like a character, not like a real-life character, more like somebody who is dressing up for a television programme or stage show about a detective.

X-Files

I can’t imagine any guy dressing like that today, perhaps a hipster, but even then it would be a hipster at a comic-con, and not a guy who actually goes to pubs and clubs looking like that.

Constantine would scare women, not attract them. His clothes make him look like a sexual deviant, and I can’t image any man wanting to put out that message, especially a man who is supposed to be the ultimate con man.
I know it’s the Constantine look from old comics, but it needs to go. No man of his age these days wears what he is wearing, so change it.

As for the script, it’s pretty much identical to your average, statist cop-show, but with added ‘supernatural’ elements, so rather than tracking a serial killer they are tracking a supernatural serial killer. There’s no criticism or questioning of the status quo and societal norms as programmed through the deceptive lens of the mainstream media. Constantine chases ghosts with his team of cute girl and quiet helper mate. He bumps into old friends, they help out, then it’s back to the beginning just in time for next episode and the latest ghostly serial killer, or whatever.

It’s not all bad though. If it were terrible I wouldn’t have sat through almost six shows. I would have seen one, and been done with it. So what did I enjoy about it?

Constantine's outfit looks very fake outdoors

Perhaps it’s because I am old, and I remember when Constantine was a super cool cutting edge character as written by Watchmen icon Alan Moore. I watch the show and get occasional glimpses of that old rebel, but he’s not as tortured, not as dark, not as interesting, and certainly not in touch with the zeitgeist of our times.

Yeah, it’s that smokey old memory that keeps me coming back. I want something to be there, and I get occasional flash-backs to fond memories of the comic books that hooked me into the genre over twenty years in the past.

It’s that memory that has me. It’s the memory of reading about a fascinatingly tortured and complex man. That’s the key to Constantine, he felt like he could actually exist. This television character feels constructed, it feels false, but occasionally, just occasionally it gets tantalisingly close to the old comic books and a feeling that this bloke is not Batman, he's not Iron Man, he’s living in something that resembles the real world, and yes, he could be real.

Hair looking too perfect

I watch the show and it’s fake, and it’s silly, and I know that this man does not exist. The spell is broken, Constantine is just an actor with carefully coiffured hair, in an old-man detective/flasher mac, and he’s talking in a weird Welsh/London hybrid accent, and it’s a bit ridiculous.

But then I get a look, a moment of dialogue from the character and he’s real again, and I’m reading a comic book, and it’s raining outside, and it’s 1992. I get a whiff of cigarette smoke, Alan Moore is writing him again, it feels real, but almost as soon as I get the feeling, the scene changes, and it’s gone.

What must contemporary American television audiences make of it all? I guess to them it’s just another television show with a funny accented ‘British’ character that makes them think that living in the UK is more eccentric and fun than it actually is. I can watch the show in short blasts for the nostalgic promise of bittersweet old memories, but I have to be honest and admit that it’s kind of crappy. It’s a bit blah, very mainstream, and just another heroin laced brick in that blood encased corporate sponsored wall of non-reality, compliance to authority, go to work, sleep away your lives, avoid mirrors, don’t question, vote for war and pay your taxes. Constantine still smokes, but he’s forever stubbing them out. Danger lurks, memories linger, but so far, after six episodes, this has been a predictably tepid affair.

Rating: 4/10

Comic book review: Sinestro #9- Evil Christians, drugs, police and dictators

Writer: Cullen Bunn
Artist: Brad Walker
Colourist: Jason Wright
Publisher: DC Comics
Released: 28th January 2015



For the first time in it’s nine issue run this comic book, as written by Cullen Bunn, reads like just another matrix dwelling mainstream slice of deception and disinformation.

It’s a shame, because I expected better than this, but after reading this new direction (after the New Gods crossover books) all I can do is call it out for what it is, and unfortunately it’s extremely derivative stuff.

The book begins with an attack on religion. Not the religions that are actually causing all of the troubles in the world today, but the religion that it’s politically safe to attack, that being good old Christianity.

I can envision people arguing that ‘The Pale Vicars’ or ‘The Sallow Priests’ are not Christians, they are ‘aliens’ but let’s be honest here. A vicar? A priest? It’s Christianity, so let’s stop pretending.

I don’t see any Rabbi’s or Imams being referenced in mainstream comic books, it’s always religious leaders that are connected to Christianity.

Comic book writers do this because they are allowed to criticise Christianity. If they criticise Islam or Judaism then they’ll lose their jobs. In other words, they are cowards who only criticise the religious organisations that they are allowed to criticise. I don’t respect that, at all. If you are going to criticise religion then criticise them all, and if you are too afraid to do that, if you value your career more than your integrity then I’m not going to read your comic books anymore.

After Sinestro #9 lamely attacks Christianity it goes on to tell the readers that drugs are bad, and that we have to rely on a third party (the Police) to save us from the evil people who want to give us poor helpless suspect-civilians something that is bad for us. Wow, the book really is scraping the barrel this month. Christians baaaaaaad. Drugs baaaaaad. World Police goooooood. What’s next, a power crazed dictator who wants to get revenge on Sinestro?

Yep, that’s exactly what we get next. The good old power crazed dictator. A mainstream media generated villain, and the perfect justification for another ‘humanitarian intervention,’ another bombing campaign, another war waged for resources where the lives of innocent human beings count for absolutely nothing.

Forget about the reality on planet Earth 2015 where western ‘democracies’ have been waging war, raping, pillaging and torturing all over the planet for over a decade now (and that’s just recent history). I can’t believe that people living in 2015 are still pushing this fairytale that the number one threat to world peace is power crazed dictators, and not the centralised, top-down, corporate/banking interests that control western governments.

I’m standing back now, looking at what is on offer here in this comic book, and I just can’t read it anymore. It’s too simplistic, too lazy, too ignorant of reality, and it’s just not making any sort of connection to the real world realities that have taken place in the world post September 2001.

I can’t be buying this book and pointing out this stuff every month on my blog. I don’t enjoy it you know. It bugs me, annoying me big time that I’ve wasted so much of my time (and money) on a book that has given me absolutely nothing.

Writer Cullen Bunn has revealed himself here, and his mindset is worryingly stuck in generations passed. If he thinks that the most important issues in 2015 are Christian fanatics, dictators and the need for a Police state to save citizen-suspects from the evil of drugs then he is just the right kind of ignorant that the comic book industry wants. And when I say ignorant I don’t mean that he is stupid. I mean that he has chosen to ignore the world, and to push out a mainstream media version of reality that in no way whatsoever corresponds with what is actually going on in the world today.

I feel terrible now. I don’t want to put up these reviews where all I do is complain, insult the poor writer and go on about the mainstream media, the corporate matrix, etc, etc, etc, but what can I do? I buy a book, it insults me, and so I have to call it out. Sinestro is off my pull-list, so no more reviews of the book here on my blog. My search for awakened, independent, free-thinking writers working in the mainstream comic book industry continues. Wish me luck, it’s a bloody desert out there.

Rating: 3/10 (I enjoyed the colouring by Jason Wright)

Comic review: Alex + Ada #12- Breaking free from the lying box

Created by: Sarah Vaughn & Jonathan Luna
Publisher: Image Comics
Released: 28th January 2015


Alex + Ada #12 is an excellent book, but if you have read any of the previous issues you already know that.

I’ve already done quite a few reviews of the previous issues of this book, so please check them out if you think that I say anything interesting during this particular review. I'm a bit of a ranter, but I do occasionally stumble onto moments of truth, and this particular comic book gives me the opportunity to discuss some of the more pressing matters and concerns of our times.

On to issue #12 then, because as a stand-alone book it offers some very interesting new developments that I want to talk about. It begins with a fascinating case study that demonstrates the contrasts between a mainstream media narrative and the real world reality behind that narrative.

In short, a man who has been ‘programmed’ to think one way by the dominant mainstream media of his time comes across the reality behind that programming. After experiencing that reality his strongly held (but not properly examined) belief system crumbles. Real world experience breaks the programming, and he is already on his own personal journey of awakened reality.

That’s an important thing to discuss in a comic, especially when you look at what is happening in our real world reality of 2015.

At the current time the dominant mind programmers of the world are what can be collectively termed the ‘corporate mainstream media.’ It is their role to program your mind, to frame reality in a twisted way that suits their corporate control system. Truth has no role to play in their deliberately dumbed down manipulation of current events.

I admit that this next statement is an over-simplification, but a general rule of thumb is that when the corporate mainstream media tell you that something is black, then you can be pretty sure that if it’s not white, then it’s plenty of shades of colours, and those colours are not going to be discussed between the advert breaks.

If enough people obtained their information from real world experience rather than the mind control system that is their newspaper and television then a revolution would happen and the left/right political circus would be as redundant as it should be. The lesson of this issue of Alex + Ada then is to talk to your neighbours, talk to strangers, talk to your supposed enemy, just talk, and stop believing what corporate controllers are programming you to believe.

Narratively speaking, a death is always a big event, but when it happens in this particular book that death is only the background to the bigger picture. The book has already discussed consciousness, and now it’s moving on to the big questions, the questions that we all want answered:

What happens when the body dies? Does consciousness continue, or does it end?

This excellent book has already established that consciousness is about being aware, about breaking free from the mind control programming that society cages us within. The androids in the book are either aware or unaware, as are the humans. To use the popular vernacular that is used in so-called ‘conspiracy’ circles, some people are awake, but most are sleeping ‘sheeple.’

The western world as it is today is made up of two groups. The first group consists of order followers and career repeaters who read newspapers, watch television and repeat the mind control programming that is given to them by their controllers. The second (much smaller) group consists of truth seekers, of independent individuals who are actively attempting to break free from the mind-control and to get to the truth behind the myriad of lies that define our times. Guess which group the lying box in the corner of your living room wants you to belong to?

Some people might think that I’m going over the top here, making all of these statements when I should just be enjoying the comic book as a bit of silly sci-fi entertainment. They might even mock me and insist that I’m seeing things that are not there. I don’t think that this is the case. I read the book, and what I take from it I put into this review. That’s what I do, that’s the entire point of my blog. I want to talk about the bigger issues, and a comic book like Alex + Ada is perfect because it’s content allows me to do so.

I’ve heard other reviewers complain that this is a slow paced book that lacks excitement and action scenes, but don’t let that put you off. It’s slow for a good reason. That reason is that it has something to say, and it wants to say it properly. So far it’s doing an excellent job, and this issue, having already covered the initial philosophical aspects of consciousness is going to the logical end point, exploring what happens to us when we die. All of this in a comic book. It’s quite amazing really. I leave this issue of Alex + Ada #12 feeling happy, entertained, intellectually energised and above everything else, deeply, deeply impressed with the quality of writing that is on display here.

Rating: 10/10
