Liberal Hypocrisy on Obama Vs Bush – Poll

Are liberals in favor of policies under Democratic President Barack Obama that they despised under Republican President George Bush? Sadly the answer is yes according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks down a piece by Glenn Greenwald on the topic including thoughts on Gitmo and drone strikes.

Black March Message

Original Black March Message – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWzRHnVbw5I

New Black March Message – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7DkMrC57TE

Transcript:

Greetings citizens of the world. This video is in reference to operation Black March. I encourage you not to see any movies in theaters during March. Do not purchase or download any movies or music, legally or illegally. Do not buy or rent a single video game. Do not buy or download a single book or magazine. This will cause an extreme drop in profits for the organizations pushing for radical censorship laws. It is easy. In order to send this message, you must simply do nothing. Do not purchase or download any of these forms of media & they will notice.

I encourage anyone and everyone to repost this to their Facebook status, Twitter and / or YouTube bulletins and to encourage their friends and family to do likewise. The more widespread we are able to make this movement, the bigger the impact these organizations will feel. Show them the consumer holds power in this relationship. We made them what they are and the power they hold over us is only to the extent that we allow.

Some of you may be wondering, why you cannot download it illegally as that will not put money in their pockets. The answer is this. One, this movement aims to beat these companies legally. We do not condone disobeying laws that operate at a level of fairness. We believe companies deserve money for their media works but we will not tolerate their methods of radical censorship.

Two, organizations keep records of how many times a product is downloaded illegally, even if they are unable to track it. This shows the level of addiction that their product causes. The more a product is downloaded legally, or illegally, the greater the potential to make money.

If it is done illegally, many will be caught and charged with piracy with heavy fines. Either way, the company profits. The only way to truly hurt them is to legally boycott them. This will send the message that the consumer owns the product and not the other way around.

Please join us this March 1st, 2012 through March 31st, 2012, in not making any media purchases or downloads during Operation Black March. The message is clear. The method is simple. The result is keeping media in check to preserve our freedoms.

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

Peter Weyland’s TED 2023 Address

There are about a million reasons why I am excited for Prometheus, and this clip of Peter Weyland’s address at the 2023 conference is just one more.

The prospect of a philosophical and esoteric Aliens movie is blowing my mind.

The Hermetic Library Anthology Album – Magick, Music and Ritual 2 by The Hermetic Library

occultpunk:

The Hermetic Library at Hermetic.com has an overall vision of Archiving, Engaging and Encouraging the living Western Esoteric Tradition. I started the benefit anthology project to help promote newer works in the Western Esoteric Tradition to the audience of the Hermetic Library and beyond. The anthology project also further raises awareness about the corpus and culture of magick and ritual. 

This is the second issue from the Hermetic Library Anthology Project, and is being released on Imbolc in Winter 2012. I have 6 tracks by 6 artists this time around. This playlist starts strong with a track about moving from darkness into light, through an invocation and liberation of the divine feminine that is also a lament about loss, followed by a fantastic new cover of a Coil track. The playlist continues with a bright track but that is followed by some gritty and creepy noise to remind us that the light hasn’t fully returned. After that I, for my part, am glad of a reminder that the days are getting longer, so there is a final track which brings us back to the theme of returning mercy and light. Quite a nice playlist that works well with the season. 

I encourage you to check out the Hermetic Library at Hermetic.com, if you aren’t already familiar with it, as that’s the reason this project exists and may also offer inspiration to you. The site was started in 1996 and has ever since consistently been an extremely popular resource for students and researchers interested in the Western Esoteric Tradition. You may also wish to check out other posts at the Hermetic Library blog and the Twitter and Facebook reflections to see how the library engages people in a living Western Esoteric Tradition. 

Please join the Hermetic Library in promoting these artists who have contributed their work to this benefit anthology album project. All proceeds from album sales will support the library to help cover hosting costs and other expenses like materials acquisitions. 

The World is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it’s real, because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round, and it has thrills and chills and is very brightly colored, and it’s very loud. And it’s fun, for a while.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they’ve begun to question, ‘Is this real, or is this just a ride?’, and other people have remembered, and they’ve come back to us and they say ‘Hey, don’t worry. Don’t be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.’ and we KILL THOSE PEOPLE.

“Shut him up! We have alot invested in this ride! SHUT HIM UP! Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account, and my family. This just has to be real.”

It’s just a ride.

But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that. You ever noticed that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter, because … It’s just a ride.

And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear wants you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead see all of us as one.

Here’s what we can do to change the world right now, to a better ride:

Take all that money we spent on weapons and defense each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and WE CAN EXPLORE SPACE, TOGETHER, BOTH INNER AND OUTER, forever … in peace.

— Bill Hicks (1961 – 1994)
