- Hey, remember that movie The Dark Knight? You know the movie that everyone saw but no one seems able to recall? The one whose IMDB board is filled with chatter having to do with everything but the movie? Is it because generally liberal-leaning superhero and comics fans are silently embarrassed about falling for what is essentially a neo-conservative propaganda film? It isn’t just iMDb- no one on any of the comics or movie sites I checked seems to talk about what is one of the highest-grossing movies of all-time, one that came out less than 18 months ago. Very strange. Usually, these kinds of blockbusters continue to resonate for a while after their original run, but not this film.
Why is that?
Is it possible the poor reception that greeted Watchmen (which is cosmically superior to TDK, IMO) is a hangover from critics and fans uncomfortable with having championed a film that celebrated torture, vigilantism, broad-spectrum surveillance and jack-booted stormtroopers marching in the streets? That depicted terrorism as simple nihilism, and cross-dressing, sexually-ambiguous nihilism at that?
CIA Officer Robert Steele Says what is Wrong with the US Military/Intelligence Community, Banksters and the Illegal Drug Trade.
- i agree with him on the several points, but hear some red flags in his speech and wonder if his inclusion on a site that has honest ties to the US military (this is hosted on the First Earth Battalion page) makes him credible in all his “change the system” glory. For example on one point, i think the whole “banksters problem” is legit, but simplistic, and in no way encapsulates ALL the control systems vying for top dog status that in turn makes the world go ‘round in very violent ways. This omission can be telling of his true agenda. Steele might be a disinfo agent in the same sense that makes Earth Battalion ideals seem embraceable by left communities… stir in some nice new age beliefs but the rub is to still let Uncle Sam’s Army run the show…that’s not change I can believe in. -Ledger.
Big hat tip to Uncertain Times.
- It is often overlooked, but the Marshall Plan executed after the second world war may have been the largest humanitarian exercise in the history of the planet. The allied armies decided to put Europe back together. Military forces had, and have, the tools and proper organisation to help reconstruct the very things they have destroyed. Imagine if all services were asked to recover the living biosphere of our planet which we know is compromised. The Earth is the only stage for life that we have.
- After years of thinking I have conceived of important missions matched to a corresponding capability for each branch of service. The army would properly reforest and clean the fresh water sources. The navy would control over-fishing and recycle the ocean waste. The marines would tend the shorelines and restore the coral reefs and wetland areas. Then the air forces would sense the environment from above and detect polluters while also having the instant mass transport of rescue villages for all the displaced refugees likely to surface during climate change.
- The many national guard units would reconstruct the countryside with the assistance of the youth to bring nature back to her fullness for a more decentralised and sustainable world.
- The corporations would all shift 30 degrees to the green. Global villages and the internet will become our worldwide exchange system, and former power centres will just be support services. The world is already one culture. Countries are obsolete and have been for 30 years.
1) Star wars
Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defence Initiative was hyped as the ultimate defensive weapon, a missile shield impervious to Russian ICBMs. Unfortunately it didn’t work but, thanks to devious technological sleight-of-hand, the Pentagon made sure that SDI’s trial by television was a spectacular success. An impoverished Soviet Union couldn’t hope to keep up the pace of the arms race and its sense of defeat was a contributing factor in the end of the cold war.
2) Mind control
From the late 1940s, the CIA secretly attempted to control human minds using drugs and technology. They defended the practice by saying that the communists were also doing it. In fact Soviet “brainwashing” was a CIA propaganda creation, though the Russians no doubt started their own programme after learning what the Americans were doing. Other experiments used electronic implants, mostly inserted into animals: a donkey was steered up a hillside, a charging bull was stopped dead in its tracks. Today the same technology is used in humans, controlling Parkinson’s tremors or allowing disabled people to operate computers and robotic arms.
3) Remote viewing
The US army and CIA experimented with psychics from the mid 1970s to the mid 1990s. The psi-war began in the early 1970s as news of Soviet psychical research, combined with rumours of Uri Geller’s abilities in Israel, reached America. The leaked Soviet research was possibly disinformation intended to waste US time and resources. However, some of the project’s early psychics did appear to demonstrate feats of anomalous cognition, unless this was disinformation too. Over 20 years the programme’s budget was approximately $20m, suggesting that it was considered a marginal operation at best.
4) Weather warfare
On September 22 2005, Scott Stevens quit his job as a TV weatherman in Pocatello, Idaho to research weather warfare. Stevens was particularly concerned about Japanese gangsters armed with Soviet hurricane-forming technology. Others have had the same idea. An internal US air force paper from 1996, Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025, discussed the potential for weather modification, which some believe to be the purpose of the HAARP project in Alaska and Puerto Rico. But when it comes to cloud-seeding, the process of making rain by firing rockets into clouds, the Chinese are world leaders, where the practice has led to regional disputes over resources.
5) ET tech
“We have things flying in the Nevada desert that would make George Lucas drool,” says an anonymous Lockheed engineer in the February 1988 issue of Gung Ho: the Magazine for the International Military Man. The article was among the first to suggest that alien spacecraft were flying at Area 51, the once super-secret Nevada airbase. Tales of the US air force back-engineering downed alien vehicles date back to 1950, but reached a fever pitch in the late 20th century, resulting in complaints from French military officials that ET tech gave America an unfair advantage in the arms race. Whether or not it’s true, several million people, some of them quite powerful, believe it to be so; but perhaps our own technology is now so advanced as to be indistinguishable from the aliens’.
Michael Echanis was a martial artist, mercenary, remote influencer, and some say, psychotic. Without a doubt, a shadowy character who may have either been politically assassinated while training death squads in Nicaragua or killed by misadventure when letting a jeep run over him! Nevertheless, stories about the United State’s first “Super Soldier” will continue to grow. The article above on his life is a high quality scan not available anywhere else.
For information on his Remote Influencing (stopping the heart of a goat) see this post on Rigorous Intuition. With so much disinformation about this man, I cannot say with certainty whether he was or wasn’t involved with Project Jedi, Project Stargate or the First Earth Battalion.

Lachrymarum - Stan Douglas
This, from the re-imagining by Stan Douglas (with John Medeski and Scott Harding) of the soundtrack for the Italian horror film Suspiria, is scientifically-proven to be the scariest song ever.
Feel free to use it to keep trick-or-treaters away.
Great movie, great tune.
Bruceploitation
I realize I should be sending this wikipedia find through the proper channels, but I couldn’t wait and wanted to include this supplemental video, a clip from The Ninja Strikes Back (1982) starring the inimitable Bruce Le (not to be confused with Bruce Li or Bruce Lei, who were hacks).
Bruceploitation is a cultural phenomenon mostly seen in the 1970s after the untimely death of martial artist and actor Bruce Lee in 1973. Movie makers in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan hired a great number of Bruce Lee look-alike actors to star in many cheap knock-off martial arts movies to cash in on his success after his death.
Some of the movies were simply rehashes of Bruce Lee’s classics, such as Re-enter the Dragon, Enter Two Dragons, Return of Bruce, Return of the Fists of Fury or Enter the Game of Death. Others told the life story of Bruce Lee and explored his mysteries, such as Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger, a fan favorite, where Bruce Li is asked by Bruce Lee to replace him after his death, My Name Called Bruce and Bruce’s Fist of Vengeance.
Winners: Exit the Dragon and My Name Called Bruce.
NOTE: Justin Lin (Better Luck Tomorrow, Fast & Furious) paid homage to Bruceploitation in his 2007 low-budget mockumentary Finishing the Game: The Search for a New Bruce Lee, which is honestly not that bad.
