This video tape depicts for the first time biological transformation (or pleomorphism) of a rod BACTERIA INTO a healthy RED BLOOD CELL—

This has now brought me to my current hypothesis that germs or microbes are the expression of a physical or emotional disturbance, and NOT the cause of a specific

dis-ease or diseased state.– Dr. Robert Young

As a result- Dr. Young concludes:

1) Microbes including bacteria, yeast, molds and
viruses DO NOT CAUSE DIS-EASE or DISEASE but are
the expressions of a dis-eased or an acidic environment.

2) The true cause of dis-ease or disease is due
to an acidic or inverted way of living, eating and
thinking.

3) The cure for dis-ease or disease will be found in its prevention not its treatment.

4) The key to health, energy and longevity is to maintain
the alkaline design of the body— in other words, emotional, mental, and physical HARMONY.

As stated by Neil Solomon, M.D., Ph.D. and
former head of research at Johns Hopkins,
“Dr. Young may be on the threshold of a “New
Biology” whose principals, if proven, could
revolutionize the biology and medicine
worlds.

————————

It is slow, but one day in the future, biological science will realise that each element attracts the same element, and so it is natural that illness should attract illness; thus- inharmony attracts inharmony, whereas harmony attracts harmony.  It is beyond words to tell what an extent the thought, the feeling, and the attitude help one to become cured.  —

Born 1937, Derbyshire is known as “the mother of electronic music”.   She was the third member of the British experimental band “White Noise”, but, perhaps is best known for her electronic realization of composer, Ron Grainer’s theme music for the science fiction TV series Doctor Who. She was also a prominent member of  the famous BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

+In 1959, when applying for a position at Decca Records, she was told that the company did not employ women in their recording studios.

+In 1963,  Ron Grainer was asked to compose the theme for Dr. Who. As part of the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop, Derbyshire developed his written notes into the version that was then used on the original show.

Grainer was so impressed by Derbyshire’s interpretation, which used electronic oscillators and magnetic audio tape editing (including tape loops and reverse tape effects) to create an eerie and unearthly sound that was quite unlike anything that had been heard before. Derbyshire’s original Doctor Who theme is one of the first television themes to be created and produced by entirely electronic means.

Derbyshire was a member of Unit Delta Plus, an organization which was intended to use, create and promote electronic music. In the late sixties, she helped set up the Kaleidophon studio in London’s Camden Town district with fellow electronic musician David Vorhaus. The studio produced electronic music for various London theaters and in 1968, they used it to produce their first album as the band WHITE NOISE.  The debut, An Electric Storm is now considered an important and influential album in the development of electronic music, prefiguring the sound of Stereolab or Broadcast by 20 years.

I personally remember being haunted by the sound of this record when I was 18 and being impressed with how progressive it was, especially to have been recorded back in ’68.

I had no idea of the story behind it or anything about Delia Derbyshire until just recently- which kind of blows my mind!

Watch the great Delia in action here:

showed us this clip directed in 1976 by Claude Lelouche that is the closest thing to a first hand, high-speed drive through the streets of Paris in a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 (top speed 235KM/h). Shot in a single take, it is an example of cinéma-vérité.

from the wikipedia entry:

It starts in a tunnel of the Paris Périphérique at Porte Dauphine, with an onboard view from an unseen car exiting up on a ramp to Avenue Foch. Well known landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe, Opéra Garnier, and Place de la Concorde with its obelisk are passed, as well as the Champs-Élysées. Pedestrians are passed, pigeons sitting on the streets are scattered, red lights are ignored, one-way streets are driven up the wrong way, centre lines are crossed, the car runs on a pavement to avoid a refuse lorry. The car is never seen as the camera seems to be attached below the front bumper, judging from the relative positions of other cars…

It’s pretty rad….

Martín Ramírez (1895–1963) was a self-taught artist who spent most of his adult life institutionalized in California mental hospitals, diagnosed as a catatonic schizophrenic.

Having migrated to the United States from Mexico in 1925, Ramírez was institutionalized in 1931, first at Stockton State Hospital, then, beginning in 1948, at DeWitt State Hospital in Auburn, near Sacramento, where he made the drawings and collages for which he is now known. At DeWitt, a visiting professor of psychology and art, Tarmo Pasto, came across Ramírez’s work and began to save the large-scale works Ramírez made using available materials, including brown paper bags, scraps of examining-table paper, and book pages glued together with a paste made of potatoes and saliva. His works display an idiosyncratic iconography that reflect both Mexican folk traditions and twentieth-century modernization: images of Madonnas, horseback riders, and trains entering and exiting tunnels proliferate in the work, along with undulating fields of concentric lines that describe landscapes, tunnels, theatrical prosceniums, and decorative patterns. Since his death in 1963, Ramírez’s drawings and collages have become some of the most highly valued examples of outsider art.

He is a Mexican, about sixty-eight years old, who is classified as a chronic paranoid schizophrenic and considered incurable, having been institutionalized for over twenty years. His art activity dates back about six years. He is slight of build, greatly underweight, a former tuberculous patient who spends his time on his art. He does not speak to anyone but hums in a singsong way when pleased with his visitors. Conversation as an exchange of ideas is impossible.

Written by Dr. Tarmo Fasto for the Public Relations Department of Stanford Research Institute Stanford, California, July 1954

The TV Channel announced that Al-Zaidi is in a difficult condition, with broken ribs and signs of tortures on his thighs. Also he can not move his right arm.***

I don’t care what nobody says— in this era of squeaky-cleanism and public figures being afraid to stand up and truly express themselves outright— I have to give credit where it’s due.  Yeah, my man took the XL risk by throwing that shoe— one that is surely seeing him getting his ass BEAT somewhere in a jail cell right now— but at least he had the courage to speak his mind and represent for the people without a voice.  I was reading somewhere about this guy and how his feelings were influenced by witnessing the agony suffered by everyday Iraqis. Most of his stories focused on Iraqi widows*, orphans, and children, and at times he’d CRY on TV while reporting.

Next time I have a glass, I’ll raise it to ya, baby:  AL-Zaidi.  Here’s to EMPATHY– and COURAGE.  Bon Chance, my man….may the Force Be With You………

Didnt know what time it was the lights were low

Some cat was layin down some get it on rock n roll
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase  werent no d.j. that was hazy cosmic jive

Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hes told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

The TV and the computer merge into one thing…and THIS is how we’ll interact with it in the near future:

The Mysterious Stranger is an unfinished work written by the American author Mark Twain that was worked on periodically from roughly 1890 up until his death in 1910. The body of work is a serious social commentary by Twain addressing his ideas of the Moral Sense and the “damned human race”. Twain actually wrote multiple versions of this story, each unfinished and each involving the character of “Satan”.

The Mysterious Stranger was also adapted to a short scene in the 1985 claymation film The Adventures of Mark Twain, in which the children meet an angel named Satan. The resulting piece is strangely unsettling and was subsequently banned from several television stations.

part of our “vibe project” is spreading the word as much is we can, and in the most outrageous extreme ways.  While I’m in ISRAEL visiting, Sonny sent me about 30 posters that, for most part, I’ve been nailing to trees around town.

Most of them stay for a few days before they’re taken down–I’m still not sure if it’s the city is responsible, or random people–but whatever- the responses have been FCK*ing amazing.

———————

Fast forward to last week: I went to a huge art opening at a big respectful museum (http://cartoonmuseum.org.il). The show was called “post-pop“, and as usual, I had some posters with me to post in the street.

As I’m standing @ this posh opening- the idea sparks in my head: “How about I go gorilla and post MY piece in here?”

very fast (and with out much thinking), I pulled out one shiny poster, a hammer and nails.  With the help of my darling friend- who held the poster while I hammered- we NAILED it to the museum wall—-DURING the height of the art opening.

Looking around-no one seemed to really give a damn, but the adrenalin was rushing in my blood anyway. When we finished, we decided to check out the rest of the exhibit.

Walking around, I came across the legendary Israeli artist, Eliezer Sonnenschein, who started his own career by illegally adding his pieces to museum exhibits. He did it 5 times before he got officially invited by the museums to show his work.

While he and I were chatting, I told him what I had just done and he was so into it that he FORCED me to sign the vibe poster.  It was at this moment when the manager of the museum noticed us.  Before I knew it, I was in the middle of a huge controversy….

She was very offended and took it extremely personal that I had, in an act of vandalism, sabotaged her “baby”.  Eliezer argued in my defense that the museum is funded in part by tax payers and so in a way, the space belongs to the public.  He then asked her name and wrote on the WALL (right in front of her), “I love you,________ “!!!!

This pissed her off even more:  “You think this is funny”???  She was livid.

I walked away to tell my friend, and after 30 seconds, we saw the manager lady walking away smiling. It turns out that the curator had come, loved the piece AND how I had installed it.  Later, both the manager and the curator approached me saying that they’d decided to accept it as part of the exhibit!  All they needed now was the artist information:

The poster is now exhibited in an international museum. I guess the moral of this story pretty much is: “GO FOR IT”.  It was illegal and risky, but— you never know, right??

The Washington Post today reports on plans to station 20,000 more U.S. troops inside America for purposes of “domestic security” from September 2011, an expansion of Northcom’s militarization of the country in preparation for potential civil unrest following a total economic collapse or a mass terror attack.

“The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials,” reports the Post.

The contention that the troops will merely help “recovery efforts” after a major catastrophe is contradicted by the fact that Northcom itself, in a September 8 Army Times article, said the first wave of the deployment, which was put in place on October 1st at Fort Stewart and at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, would be aimed at tackling “civil unrest and crowd control”.

After a controversy arose surrounding the admissions made in the Army Times article, Northcom retracted the claim but conceded that both lethal and non-lethal weaponry traditionally used in crowd control and riot situations would still be used in the field.

In the short term, the domestic deployment of troops is likely aimed at combating likely civil unrest that will ensue after a complete economic collapse followed by a devastating period of hyperinflation.

This warning was again echoed a few days ago in a leaked internal memo from Citibank

German photographer Martin Schoeller’s new book of portraits aims to highlight the contrast between the extreme physiques of female bodybuilders and the vulnerability expressed through their eyes and nuanced facial expressions. Schoeller is known for treating all subjects the same, whether the New York-based photographer is shooting celebrities for Vogue or unknown members of the Pirahã tribe in Brazil.

The country’s top trends forecaster, who accurately predicted the “panic” of 2008 nearly a year before it unfolded, is now ominously suggesting that next year will come to be known as “the collapse of 2009″.

Around this time last year, Gerald Celente sent the following message to his Trends Research subscribers:

In 2008, Americans will wake up to the worst economic times that anyone alive has ever seen. And they won’t know what hit them. Just as they were in a state of shock on 9/11, they’ll be frozen in fear when the Economic 9/11 strikes at the heart of Wall Street.

Dismiss this trend forecast at your own peril. If you believe everything will be all right, and that the ship of state is sailing along just fine, toss this out and go about your business.

Having correctly forecast the “Economic 9/11″, Celente is warning that people should prepare for something much worse in 2009.

Celente recently told media outlets that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.

In 2007, Celente forewarned that “giants (would) tumble to their deaths,” which is exactly what we have witnessed with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and others.

Celente has stated that the current financial downturn will ultimately lead to nothing less than revolution.

“There will be a revolution in this country,” he said. “It’s not going to come yet, but it’s going to come down the line and we’re going to see a third party and this was the catalyst for it: the takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight by Wall Street in this bloodless coup. And it will happen as conditions continue to worsen.”

On one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia stands a huge granite monument. Engraved in eight different languages on the four giant stones that support the common capstone are 10 Guides, or commandments. That monument is alternately referred to as The Georgia Guidestones, or the American Stonehenge. Though relatively unknown to most people, it is an important link to the Occult Hierarchy that dominates the world in which we live.

The origin of that strange monument is shrouded in mystery because no one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who commissioned its construction. All that is known for certain is that in June 1979, a well-dressed, articulate stranger visited the office of the Elberton Granite Finishing Company and announced that he wanted to build an edifice to transmit a message to mankind. He identified himself as R. C. Christian, but it soon became apparent that was not his real name. He said that he represented a group of men who wanted to offer direction to humanity, but to date, almost two decades later, no one knows who R. C. Christian really was, or the names of those he represented. The messages engraved on the Georgia Guidestones deal with four major fields:

(1) Dramatically reducing the population of the world.
(2) Promoting environmentalism.
(3) Establishing a world government.
(4) Promoting a new spirituality.

Yoko Ono was recently quoted as referring to the American Stonehenge, saying:

“I want people to know about the stones … We’re headed toward a world where we might blow ourselves up and maybe the globe will not exist … it’s a nice time to reaffirm ourselves, knowing all the beautiful things that are in this country and the Georgia Stones symbolize that. ” (1)

The Alpine Capsule is an 8-meter wide structure with a double-glass skin that is covered with a special reflective coating. The coating meant to reflect the structure’s surroundings and blend in with the environment. “It’s completely transparent from the inside, and at night you can see the stars. That will be a remarkable experience to be warm and cozy and intimate with this vast universe.”

Designers like Ross Lovegrove, who think of cars on sticks and solar trees, are constantly pushing the envelope. You may think concepts like these are absolutely off the wall and completely impractical, but at the same time, innovation and crazy ideas can inspire brilliant solutions.

Hupa are Native North Americans whose traditional land is Hoopa Valley, California.  Their tradition suggests that they have lived in Hoopa Valley for over 4,000 years, and their language suggests that they moved to the area from what is now western Canada.

Their use of a sweat houses for ceremonies are not characteristic of that culture area.

Arthur Lee described himself as “the first so-called black hippie”.

He and his group, LOVE, were part of the same 60′s Hollywood scene that produced The Byrds, The Doors, Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas and the Papas.

Lee and his band became the first rock group to sign to The Doors’ Elektra label, releasing a self-titled debut in April 1966. Jim Morrison would later claim that the Doors’ original goal was to be as big as Arthur Lee and Love.

Lee, who established himself as the first black rock star of the post-Beatles era, fronted Love through astonishing musical changes that have continued to resonate for other rockers and a cult of critics and fans. Their first four albums ranged wildly, from prototypical garage-punk and jazzy experimentation to Spanish guitar.

Jimi Hendrix’s first known appearance as a session musician was on an early SURF song written by Lee. They later collaborated on a song entitled “The Everlasting First”. The song bemoaned the losses of Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King. There are some who say that Hendrix “borrowed” his outlandish dress style directly from Lee.

( “My Little Red Book” 1966)

Despite Love’s enduring status as a cult act with little commercial success, the band cast a long shadow. Syd Barrett called Love a defining inspiration for early Pink Floyd. Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant specifically mentioned Lee at the 1995 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The band’s lone Top 40 single, “7 and 7 Is” – a song that ended with the sound of an atom bomb exploding and foreshadowed late ’70s punk rock by 10 years.

(this is unprecendented, mind you) Northcom has announced that two more U.S. military units will be assigned for domestic homeland security missions, bringing the total number of combat ready service members operating inside the U.S. to around 4,700, as fears grow about the increasing militarization of law enforcement.

The announcement follows the controversy surrounding a September 8 Army Times report (revised on September 30), which revealed that the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, fresh from combat duties in Iraq, would be operating inside America for tasks including “civil unrest and crowd control,” a detail that was later denied by Northcom.

“In the next three years the military plans to activate and train an estimated 4,700 service members for specialized domestic operations, according to Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, commander of U.S. Northern Command, which was created in 2002 for homeland defense missions,” reports the Colorado Independent.

“It’s to help us manage the consequences of a large-scale event,” said Renuart. “We have one [unit] now trained and equipped and assigned to the Northern Command. We’ll grow a second one this calendar year of 2009 and a third one in the calendar year 2010 so we can provide the nation three sets of capabilities that could respond to an event of the size of 9/11 or larger.”

The first time I saw JESUS MONSIVAIS‘ work was when I haphazardly fell into the neighborhood bar I used to frequent during the Brooklyn era.  I recall being somewhat stoned when I walked in and saw these lavishly colored, mind-bending portal/paintings hanging up around the bar space.  “heLLLLO!!!!— “Who did these”? I asked the Mexican guy behind the bar (who seemed somewhat stoned).  He said, “I did”, sheepishly. From that night on, me and Monsi became good friends. Eventually, he would even rescue/consult me in a near-break up with my @ the time girlfriend, Tiease Lee.

“While in art school I became fascinated with time exposure photography at night as a way of creating images that involved principles of drawing, painting, sculpture, performance and installation. The work exists, as you point out, through the documentation process of photography.”

Vicki DaSilva’s photography is bright, bold and undeniably complex. She’s not only behind the camera, but in front of it, carefully crafting the light installations which serve as the subjects for most of her pictures. Though based in Pennsylvania, much of DaSilva’s work was influenced by the time she spent in NYC during the rise of graffiti and hip-hop culture.

Her current series that is a work in progress, Light Tartans, needed a site that would facilitate an intersection to create a plaid by crisscrossing the lamps running along the track system. That site is a cornered wall of a park’s soccer field. The 100-foot track is propped up on the wall and moved along repetitiously along either side. The wall is 10 feet high.

OBAMA: It’s interesting, the most powerful political moments for me come when I feel like my actions are aligned with a certain truth. I can feel it.

Daniel Nocera, a professor at MIT,  has developed a cheaper, easier way to split water using solar energy.

Nocera has been talking about his discovery in terms that are unusually rash for a scientist. “With this discovery, I totally change the dialogue,” he said. “All of the old arguments go out the window.” He believes that he has tapped into the power of photosynthesis and that we have finally harnessed it.

***************

This is very exciting news and it’s a shame that a discovery like this doesn’t get huge media coverage.  It literally is revolutionary.  By studying nature and the way leaves harness water and sunlight, he has figured out how to make solar energy a reasonable and EFFECTIVE source of real energy.  FINALLY.  I can remember reading about the “promise” of solar energy in science textbooks when I was in elementary school.  Necessity is the mother of invention.

The chairman of a key Pentagon advisory panel has echoed recent claims by both Joe Biden and Colin Powell, warning that the next administration will face an international crisis within months of taking office.

Michael Bayer, chairman of the Defense Business Board and veteran Pentagon consultant announced during a public meeting late last week that the new President should “prepare for a likely first-270-days crisis.”

The incoming administration “must not wait until June” to get assistant secretaries confirmed and October for deputy assistant secretaries to be Senate confirmed, Bayer’s briefing states.

Under the heading “First 270 Days” appears the following list of Presidents with crisis events next to their names:

The latest warning of a “likely crisis” comes on the back of Joe Biden’s “guarantee” that an “international crisis” will unfold shortly after President Obama takes office.

“It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy,” Biden told an audience in Seattle earlier this month.

“Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.” Biden continued.

The assured tone with which Biden delivered his forecast was staggeringly convincing, and left the observer in no doubt that there will be a major world crisis shortly after Obama takes office. “Mark my words, mark my words,” Biden stressed, adding that “tough” and “unpopular” foreign policy decisions will have to be made.

“I promise you it will occur,” Biden added, “As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it is going to happen.”

On the same day Biden made his prophesy, Colin Powell appeared on Meet The Press and stated “There’s going to be a crisis which will come along on the 21st, 22nd of January that we don’t even know about right now.”

One of the cultural mile-stones in the field of visual communication, the design of the XXth Olympiad was so successful because it articulated to multi-lingual/cultural audiences in an unprecedented way.  The pictogram system which was devised by Aicher and his team for the games was the perfect example of simplistic information design and has now become the universal standard.

On the political front, Aicher and the Munich Olympic organizers wanted to erase reminders of the last German-held Olympics, the 1936 games in Berlin- often called the Nazi games. The aim with the Munich poster designs was to create a color framework that completely negated memories of aggressive nationalism. According to press materials, the colors were to be “heiter,” that is to say “cheerful”. Missing were the sharp black and red colors of the national flag of Germany.

Aicher’s Munich posters  are full of furious energy, with style of brilliant smudged effect showing runners, gymnasts, basketball players, fencers and other athletes in action heralded by oranges, purples, blues and greens to make them look pleasingly and explosively international.

What is interesting is how Aicher’s designs were used not only in later Olympic games, but everywhere else in global public settings. Those men and women on restroom signs, the knives and forks for restaurants, the stripe that denotes everything like “no smoking” and “wheelchair access” are all part of the lexicon of our times.

Mandolin ShrinivasFYI– he’s playing a MANDOLIN- which is basically a miniture Italian guitar– or a lute.  It’s not really played in traditional Indian music.  It would be like someone playing a ukelele in a metal band.  you’ve never seen anything like it –especially @ about 2:06— look at THAT.

strange excerpt from Hendrix Concert Movie- RAINBOW BRIDGE—- Pay close attention @ about 4:47 where Hendrix tells a surreal, almost 4 MINUTE stream of consciousness story+++++

Opening sequence for the 1970 Movie:

” I want to turn people on. Yes, I have said that I am an electric religion – because it’s all about religion, not Christianity. It was the Christians who started most or the wars in this world. I can see a universal religion, containing all beliefs, containing the essence of them all. In that universal religion children can grow up and feel free, where they will not be programmed like they are today. I have been looking for a place, far away from this mechanical world where cities and hotel rooms run into each other. I have found it inside myself. Now I want to spread it. My music needs love and understanding. Through music you get more religion than through anything else…” J.H.
