D.C. Madame Dead - Predicted She Would Be ‘Suicided’

May 2nd, 2008 · No Comments · News

This is a huge story, which will be buried, along with her corpse.
She said she would be killed, and quick as she dies, TIME reports she swore she would commit suicide. Go in peace, dirty woman. All the Washington filth gets tiresome, the corruption and cover-ups too absurd.

Here are more odd tie-ins

And 9/11 connections.

Tibet: Beyond Geopolitics

April 30th, 2008 · No Comments · International, News, News Analysis


The sudden interest in Tibet by the global main stream media (MSM), with the Olympic protests as a backdrop, has brought on a full-blown debate that has swept from Parliaments to the Blogosphere with this long-ignored issue. The geopolitical focus of the debate, however, leads nowhere if it doesn’t factor in what is arguably the most important variable of them all: the spiritual relevance of Tibet for millions of non-Tibetan Buddhists worldwide. The global reach of the Olympic Torch protests cannot be explained geopolitically, which is why pundits, bloggers and Chinese bureaucrats just don’t get it –it’s the Buddha, stupid!

As the Torch sputters doggedly through its international “Olympic Spirit” shit parade (as invented by J. Goebbels) shielded by armies of police and sequestered for its own safety— Japan’s foremost Buddhist temple has politely refused to allow the Torch to visit its premises in solidarity with their brothers and sisters of Tibet.

“We are Buddhists, just like them,” explained a temple insider.

Films: Great & Kak

April 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment · News, Reviews

Film reviews by Igor Donne

Perhaps you will get the idea I do not watch much T.V. or film, and that is true.  Just what can be had from the library when a movie is in order.

Despite that reality this list follows, please send your contributions

with adulation or acrimony.

GREAT

Blood Diamond 

Battle for Algiers

Matrix (only the First film) - [everyone in the biz knows government agents put guns in those Wachowski bros. mouths and made them create sequels]

Sin City

300 (Didn’t Greek guys have hairy chests and arms and legs?  Did I miss a waxing scene?)

Ong Bak - Tony Jaa, the greatest since Bruce Lee, and in this film, perhaps the greatest ever.  A great film.

Ran - Kurosawa’s masterpiece

Kundun - Scorsese’s most beautiful film about the life of H.H. the Dalai Lama

Taxi Driver - Scorsese’s greatest ugly film.

Lagaan - Beautiful hindi film, robbed of the Oscar to facilitate the War n Terror

Children of Men - frightening and moving

Hideous Kinky - Brilliant study of the ex-pat spirt quest set.

 

Kak and utter kak 

Closer-So bad it is unbearable to watch

I Am Legend-Worse than Closer, if possible, perhaps the worst monster movie since The Relic

No country for old men - boring fake and insipid, that ass would get iced in one day acting the fool in this land.

Fantastic Four - oh my God, that was pure pain from beginning to end.

King Kong (And the revolting Ring Movies)

Iron Man (The Drug Use Avengers Squad - How did the director shed all those pounds? And let us not broach the topic of racist one dimensional Muslim baddies with no motive)

The Protector - Tony Jaa totally wasted in a deeply bad film.

The Interpreter - The first time anyone got full access to the U.N. building to make a movie and they made the most boring, pointless, nonsensical movie ever.
