Guy Debord calls the apple store

The audio work is not mine, it comes from the fantastic people at audioanarchy.org. I downloaded their collection of readings from Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle, and was listening to it on my way to work on the subway the other morning. I spent the rest of the day in this strange 'matrix' like mode. I felt like Keanu Reeves, and instead of looking at my co-workers, products, billboards, food, etc.... all I saw the rest of the day was the matrix. numbers flying by me. I got home and made this little collage of some of the things from the spectacle to go with the audio...

‘Top Secret America’: A look at the military’s Joint Special Operations Command
Since 9/11, this secretive group of men (and a few women) has grown tenfold while sustaining a level of obscurity that not even the CIA has managed. “We’re the dark matter. We’re the force that orders the universe but can’t be seen,” a strapping Navy SEAL, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said in describing his unit.

Tomorrow's Land - [OFFICIAL SHORT TRAILER]

"Tomorrow's Land. How we decided to tear down the invisible wall" [OFFICIAL SHORT TRAILER]

At-Tuwani is a small Palestian farming village located in the hills south-east of Hebron, in what is known as the Area C of the West Bank,under Israeli administrative and military control.

Under constant threat of evacuation since 1999, the village is subjected to continuous attacks by Israeli settlers who live in the nearby settlement of Ma'on.

In response to this consolidated system of injustices a Committee of Popular Resistance was established, which for ten years has been the direct expression of the revolt of local farmers and simultaneously a powerful challenge to the mechanisms of control and repression put into practice by the Israeli occupation. With the support and collaboration of Israeli activists, the movement is growing and establishing itself on a regional level as a possible path in the imagination and construction of a better future.

There is a plan to strangle financially the nations so that the rich become richer and the poor poorer. A "select" few want to control entire states. To start with, the banks set in motion in each country the plan for the extreme accumulation of debt, assisted by corrupt governments.
Then comes the I.M.F. ...

Those who collaborated with the profiteers; those who bailed-out the banks; those getting ready to sell out the national property to the vultures that created the crisis; those who governed but failed to claim reparations for the World War II damages from Germany continuing instead -because of bribery- to buy weaponry from the "ally"; all these who undermined the public interest should be accused of high treason.
Instead unemployment increases dramatically, poverty goes rampant, businesses close down, the public sector shrinks, social welfare --education, healthcare, pensions -- are brought to nought, labour and social rights are cut down, justice disappears, equality is yet to be found, it is a struggle to maintain dignity with the cuts in wages and pensions, the country's resources and its property go to private hands, the nation's sovereignty is undermined, the very citizens themselves end up the property of those who rule the world.

EVERYBODY KNEW WHAT WOULD FOLLOW. Because all those who governed contributed to the present situation.

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. It started here but it will soon come home to you too. Unless if...

Since 25/05/11 the people in Greece have swarmed the public squares indignant, enraged, but even more determined. United against a rotten system they resist all these things that condemn them to a life without hope. They revolt against whoever endangers their freedom and wellbeing.
They took life into their hands and they are fighting to defend the real democracy which was reborn in the squares and in the people's assemblies.
They are sending this message to the entire world: to drive out for good all the financial terrorists and whoever tyrannizes the people and undermines their future.

17 September is Anti-Banks Day! A mainstream source writes:
BLOG: Banks and Banksters Beware of Anti-Banks Day September 17

By Brenda J. Elliott

Another anarchist website promoting the September 17 coast-to-coast US Day of Rage #occupywallstreet direct action launched on August 22. Antibanks — “Global actions against banks and banksters” — is a Take the Square group project.

The Antibanks announcement, September 17th EVERYWHERE!, provides a by-the-second countdown, followed by a menu of planned global direct actions.

Note: The hashtag (#) phrases link to Twitter messages. The Fb/fb indicates a facebook event. See the Antibanks website for embedded links.

In the United States they are preparing to occupy Wall Street, in Spain they will demonstrate at the Stock-Market headquarters… What’s going to happen in your city? ...


Some calls to action:
September 17th Day of action against banksters dictatorship

Athens 17 of September first gathering in Syntagma square at 12:00 and then march to the Bank of Greece on Panepistimioy Avenue. The peoples' assembly of Syntagma Square makes a call to all the communities and other cities assemblies in Greece to organise local actions against the banks.

Occupy Wall Street - Sep17

All of us have a reason to go to New York City on September 17th: to occupy Wall Street. As of October 2008, over two million quality jobs were outsourced between 2004 and now; racial economic disparities mirrored policing disparities; as of 2001 we have a 700 plus strong (and expensive) network of military bases and a Global War on Terror; and pollution has firmly established itself as a cause of disease among poor communities. This one action will not resolve all of these problems at once yet, like Egypt it will be a political breakthrough moment, or like in Spain tens of thousands of citizens did begin a direct-democratic process to build a new movement for social justice. Where the earlier alter-globalization (a.k.a. anti-globalization) movement left off, we will pick up the slack with a flourishing new movement of movements.

The demands are numerous and over reddit, facebook, twitter, and via email, activists and disenfranchised people are having a virtual assembly 24 hours a day to cite each abuse of this economic system. In this conversation, every progressive measure that is neccesarry to fix our county- and our world is on the table: ending corporate personhood, community control of localized economies, collecting corporate back taxes, community banking, progressive taxation, and a new deal-style stimulus plan.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

Robert Anton Wilson on Aleister Crowley part 1 of 4

Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

Aleister Crowley (pronounced /ˈkroʊli/; 12 October 1875 -- 1 December 1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley, and also known as both Frater Perdurabo and The Great Beast, was an influential English occultist, mystic and ceremonial magician, responsible for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema. Through this belief he came to see himself as the prophet who was entrusted with informing humanity that it was entering the new Aeon of Horus in 1904, a time when old ethical and religious systems would be replaced. Widely seen as one of the most influential occultists of all time, he was a member of the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as well as a co-founder of the A∴A∴ and eventually a leader of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.). He is known today for his magical writings, especially The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema, although he also wrote widely on other subjects, including a large amount of fiction and poetry.

Crowley was also a bisexual, recreational drug experimenter and social critic.[1] In many of these roles he "was in revolt against the moral and religious values of his time", espousing a form of libertinism based upon the rule of "Do What Thou Wilt". Because of this, he gained widespread notoriety during his lifetime, and was denounced in the popular press of the day as "the wickedest man in the world." Alongside his esoteric activities, he was an avid chess player, mountaineer, poet and playwright, and it has also been alleged that he was a spy for the British government.

Crowley has remained an influential figure right up till this day, and in 2002, a BBC poll described him as being the seventy-third greatest Briton of all time. References to him can be found in the works of numerous writers, musicians and filmmakers, and he has also been cited as a key influence on many later esoteric groups and individuals, including Kenneth Grant, Gerald Gardner and, to some degree, Austin Osman Spare.
