Naomi Klein’s set to release a new book, The Shock Doctrine, tying what we here would call psychological warfare or psy-ops to corporate and governmental interests in our current Spectacular Times. I’m glad to see this book coming out because I’ve been telling people that events like 9/11 are exploited to induce trance and [...]
The Great Internet Echo Chamber & The Osama Tapes Debate
Posted in 9/11, Consciousness & Alternate Perception on September 11, 2007 | 7 Comments »

Standing on the subway at two a.m., I see two movie posters side by side and I begin to sense the unsettling nature of the current zeitgeist. Call them Signs and Signifiers of the Spectacular Times.
I first saw the poster for this movie:

Not too long after discovering Freeman Fly, I found Kent Daniel Bentkowski’s work at The Kentroversy Papers. The first things I read that engaged my attention concerned education, since he cited educator John Taylor Gatto, a man whose research on and experience within the “educational” system in the U.S. has influenced me greatly.

If you’ve been consuming the news about Virginia Tech in high saturation from the various, hypnotically-voiced mainstream media sources, you may already have reached the predictable conclusions that are expected of you.
