said that Mylie is becoming Justin. Now, here's a

I put the words into Sir David's documentary

I am amazed to see that reality follows fiction
once again. It has to do with a joke entry
where I had Sir David Attenborough
doing a documentary on human activity.
And now, he copied my idea, in almost
the exact same words.
So, for the uninitiated, Attenborough is
a famous animal documentary guy whose
voiceovers and speaking style are famous,
hence my joke doc, below. I must say
that curling is funnier.

So, last month, I wrote:

and more specifically:

What's this? The ultimate in insults. She is offering her
buttocks in order for them to be kissed by the
opposition. As David Attenborough would say
"watch the defiant look on the face of the female
exposing her genitals, in a sign of superiority"

Now, the story, video and transcript from Huffington Post:

"Attenborough’s iconic voice gently guides viewers through a
face-off  between the United States and Great Britain. At the
beginning of the video (above), he says, “Watch as the alpha 
female displays her dominance over the herd by tapping 
the end of the frisking broom to check for rogue insects.”"

Sir David Attenborough Narrates Women's Olympic Curling Event, And It Is Pure Gold
| by Emily Thomas
Sir David Attenborough, a legend in nature documentary narration, was recently asked by BBC Radio 1 to narrate a women’s curling event from the Winter Games.

Suffice it to say we’re very grateful he obliged.

Attenborough’s iconic voice gently guides viewers through a face-off between the United States and Great Britain. At the beginning of the video (above), he says, “Watch as the alpha female displays her dominance over the herd by tapping the end of the frisking broom to check for rogue insects.”

As Great Britain's Anna Sloane casts her team’s stone across the ice, Attenborough explains her movements in his signature soothing tone: “Off she goes, gently, but flamboyantly launching the oversized walnut down the frozen river.”

But that's not all.

After Sloane's teammates take over control of the stone’s path by sweeping the ice ahead of it to land in the "nest" he notes, "The frisking is frantic and often futile, making no difference to the success of the net thrust, but it is playful, all part of what makes this game the sliding curlers play so magical."

Attenborough, you’re magical.

Canada will face off against Sweden in the women’s curling finals on Thursday, Feb. 20.

Is this a picture of Assange and his "victim A" , 2 days
after the event?

[Daily Mail]

This can be interpreted many ways. On the surface, it looks like
the gal was later manipulated into charging Assange,
or, she decided to blackmail Assange
or, that Assange set the whole thing up to promote himself as
a Jesus figure, and to highlight the "democracy" that we have.
This last one is far-fetched but his lawyers have not explained
how somebody who has not been charged can be put
under internal exile, and then exported to a place that
cooperates immorally with US policies.

Imagine, then. Assange would have to be a dynamo to have
bagged one happy customer, and then went on to rape
another, during a short trip. He doesn't seem like a lothario.
we'll see. Maybe Sweden needed a second voice to make
sure the inuendo sticks.

it's never too late for an academic to change his spots

Rubini has been accused by the French of being an apologist for Wall Street.
However, he now seems to be making heads spin by citing Karl Marx.
Naturally, the dense writers at CNBC jump up and shout, "commie",
when Marx had nothing to do with the manifestation of communism
in the Soviet Union. BUTT, it makes a nice title, innit?

Of course, it's been 2 years since I brought Marx back from the dead to
triumphantly claim that the fall of communism has allowed capitalism to eat itself.
That's what Rubini said of Marx, too.
If there's no regulation, hording of cash by the rich will lead to
a crash. So, share! you greedy halfwits.

Is Nouriel Roubini a Communist?
Published: Monday, 15 Aug 2011 | 3:30 PM ET

CNBC.com Staff Writer
Nouriel Roubini & Karl Marx
Karl Marx, meet your 21st century acolyte: Nouriel Roubini.
Nouriel Roubini a communist? It sure sounded like it, when the head of Roubini Global Economics, reputed Dr. Doom and forecaster of the financial crisis indicated sympathy with the Das Kapital author.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Roubini delivered a fresh prophecy of disaster for the US economy, but amped it up a bit by agreeing with Marx that capitalism ultimately will collapse under its own weight.
“Karl Marx said it right. At some point capitalism can self-destruct itself because you cannot keep on shifting income from labor to capital without having excess capacity and a lack of aggregate demand,” Roubini said. “That’s what’s happening. We thought the markets work. They’re not working.”
Marx predicted that capitalism would fail because people would act for their own self interest and ultimately doom society as a whole.
For that reason and others he said capitalism was inherently immoral.

the US Republicans sense libertarian danger

I mentioned, a couple of stories ago, that Ann Coulter is a Republican
front operation, telling the Drooling end of the market how to vote.

She says "Ron Paul is the antichrist", essentially.

Now, I'm not a Ron Paul fan (and I don't vote in the US anyway) , but he certainly
is a breath of fresh air, i.e. not visibly corrupt.

Anyway, I can now see the campaign is mounting to get rid of Paul

Time Magazine is getting in on it.
I rest my case.
I didn't add it, below, but one talking theme was the pull-back from wars that Paul wants.
So, he's getting an audience and talking about stopping war, so who's behind all
the Republican screaming? MIC?

There's no other reason for them to be bleating so early.
Therefore, you can now see how the media (Ann Coulter and Time) is being
controlled by the powers. It sure looks like it, doesn't it?

Time Magazine Attacks Ron Paul Conservatives
Monday, June 20, 2011 – by Staff Report

Conservatives used to be the ones with heads firmly based in reality. Their reforms were powerful because they used the market, streamlined government and empowered individuals. Their effects were large-scale and important: think of the reform of the tax code in the 1980s, for example, which was spearheaded by conservatives. Today conservatives shy away from the sensible ideas of the Bowles-Simpson commission on deficit reduction because those ideas are too deeply rooted in, well, reality. – Time Magazine

Dominant Social Theme: Leviathan cannot provide prosperity for all and you better not forget it.

Free-Market Analysis: This article, written by CNN correspondent and CFR member Fareed Zakaria provides us with a good idea of the arguments that the Anglosphere elites are trying to use against the growing Internet Reformation. This sociopolitical and economic movement is one that likely cannot be stopped but the elites will do their best to slow it down and further manipulate it if they can.

The article is apparently based on the recent Republican presidential debates that no doubt frightened elite apologists. In the years since the last set of debates, the libertarian ideas of Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex) have gained considerable ground.

Much of the recent presidential debate turned on foreign policy and the idea that US imperial overreach was not feasible anymore. These were arguments that Paul was making four years ago and they were not well received by other Republican candidates. Today they have resonance. Ron Paul is making them again, with even more power and vigor.

the '08 crash was just a drama, boo-hoo

Recently, in my 'too big to see their peewee' article, I agreed with
some other wise bloggers that the author of the TBTF book
which became a big tv movie, A. Sorkin of the NY Times, was whitewashing the crash.

BUTT, It is I who has figured out that he was
light on the crash facts

so that he could get the sweet book deal to

set himself up for life:

Royalties,
the best parties that bankers can throw,
which means two things, mainly-

coke and whores!

Here's my proof on Sorkin:
It turns out Sorkin, a 'journalist', is already
sucking hard, and turning into a shill for Goldman.
for that, Matt Taibbi trashed him in Rolling Stone:

The Times' Andrew Ross Sorkin Gives Goldman a Rubdown[that's a polite word for it- Cos67 xD]
I've been trying not to say anything bad about Andrew Ross Sorkin. I even made a point of not watching Too Big To Fail so as not to get upset -- and when I heard from friends that the film turned Hank Paulson into Joan of Arc, that decision seemed to have been validated.

Now I’m bummed to see that Sorkin has written an elaborate defense of Goldman in the New York Times "Dealbook" section, arguing among other things that Lloyd Blankfein probably did not commit perjury and that the bank did not have a huge directional bet against mortgages in 2007. As evidence, Sorkin cites unsubstantiated Goldman documents and Goldman sources who claim, among other things, that the bank had $5 billion worth of long bets on MBS "in other parts of the company," offsetting the now-notorious "Big Short."

The Sorkin piece reads like it was written by the bank's marketing department, which may not be an accident. In November of last year, the New York Times announced that "Dealbook" was entering into a sponsorship agreement with a variety of companies, including ... Goldman, Sachs. This is from that announcement last year:

Contestant 1: "If I foreclose, I get a commission."
Host: "You'll get committed alright, if you don't shut it."

Overdub guy: "which is what the price would be if it weren't for the housing bubble."

Remember those houses with fraudulent mortgages (without papers) that were
cut up into 10 000 pieces?
Well, now! It's come to be that the housing market is so bad, because of banker malfeasance,
that banks see it's not worth their while to break the law, to
get their hands on a house. In the end they will be paying municipalities
for the taxes and upkeep of the properties. So, they'll be losing money.
The houses will not be sold for a good 5 years. So, they're walking away.
Those municipalities are themselves often close to bankruptcy, largely because
of the death of private credit markets, and fraudulent derivatives
that they bought from many of those same banks.
The banks are trying to get their money back by signing a deal with the federal gov.
They want to pay $5 billion for this (borrowed money) when it's worth $30 billion.
Nice try.
and this is just the beginning of their legal problems. They're a "litigation sinkhole", and they
can't cover their losses.

Epilogue:
I was wondering when all this blogging and networking was going to start paying off.
Now the mainstream media gets its reporters to occasionally steal a story
from the new media. Not me, but the sites I cite. I'm just a spinner.

I've been busting my skull wondering how it is that the banks can always win.
Well, Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone just wrote the article that may have
turned the tide. I heard on Keiser today that Goldman's stock lost $6 billion TODAY!
This guy named Bovey in NY has told his clients to sell their Goldman stock!
People seem to think that it will become an embarrassment to the government
if they don't get their fat arses off their banker-funded chairs, and put one of the
big sharks in jail, even for a year. Look, DSK is in Rikers.

Foreclosures Prompt Four U.S. Cities to Sue Banks for Mowing, Home Repairs
By Thom Weidlich - May 12, 2011 5:00 AM GMT
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-12/foreclosures-prompt-four-u-s-cities-to-sue-banks-for-mowing-home-repairs.html
Four major U.S. cities that pay for the upkeep of foreclosed properties are trying to recoup the costs of services including lawn mowing, repairs and security by suing banks they claim contributed to their “urban blight.”
A federal judge in Memphis, Tennessee, on May 4 and another in Baltimore on April 22 denied Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC)’s request to dismiss the predatory-lending lawsuits brought against the bank. A lawsuit by the city of Cleveland against JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and Ally Financial Inc. is also pending before an Ohio judge.

In one case, Deutsche Bank AG, described by Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich as one of the city’s “major slumlords,” may be found liable for hundreds of millions of dollars, including restitution for current and former tenants, according to a statement by the city.

“We started out looking to sue as many as 16 lenders,” Webb Brewer, a lawyer who represents Memphis, said in a telephone interview. “It’s a tall order to fight all those banks at once. We never alleged that Wells Fargo was alone in employing these practices.”

The cities’ lawsuits invoke various legal theories, and some have targeted the banks as bundlers of mortgages into securities rather than as lenders. The cases brought by Baltimore and Memphis, which will now shift to pre-trial evidence gathering, are similar. They both accuse San Francisco- based Wells Fargo of violating the Fair Housing Act by so-called reverse redlining -- targeting black neighborhoods for predatory lending.
Buildings in Disrepair

Los Angeles sued Deutsche Bank May 4 as trustee of mortgage-backed securities and is seeking reimbursement for costs of property repair. The city accused the bank of buying more than 2,200 properties through foreclosure and letting vacant buildings fall into disrepair. The day before, the U.S. government alleged in a lawsuit seeking $1 billion that the Frankfurt-based bank lied to qualify thousands of risky mortgages for a government insurance program.

relax, it's all an illusion

Michael Betancourt was on Max Keiser's show, recently.
He told us about how our modern 'Immaterial finance' doesn’t require workers.
money is immaterial, not based on anything [fiat currency, much like the cars].
Your pension, is also an illusion. You surrender your pension deduction
and it disappears down at the stockmarket. You're left with a lousy IOU.

an OPTICAL ILLUSION:

It's debt-based currency because you get this piece of paper that says "20 pounds"
and then you hope someone else will give you something in exchange for it. One day, though, it'll fall so much in value that you will lose money every day you hang onto that piece of paper.

It's all derivative.

This system depends on circulation of money, not hoarding.
He warned that there will soon be hoarding by the rich, and so the system will collapse.

From "the Story of Economics", 16 March on BBC Radio 4:

Aristotle said:
Trading one product for another is ok.
Selling something for money is unnatural.

Also on the show:

How people should create trust. Follow the Bonobo monkeys:

They have sex before conducting any business. That should increase the number of women, young women, on boards of directors.

Woman rescues husband in tiger attack
February 14th, 2011 08:02 AM ET

A villager in Malaysia has his wife to thank after she charged a tiger that had pounced on him in the forest, according to the Malaysia Star.
Tambun Gediu, who is in his 60s, was hunting for squirrels Saturday morning when he heard some rustling in the leaves, he told the Star.
He said the tiger was upon him so fast he didn't have time to react, according to the paper.
“My first instinct was to climb a tree but the tiger pounced and started clawing me,” he told the Star. “I had to use all my force to push the tiger’s mouth away from my face while shouting for help.”
Han Besou, 55, who was several feet away, heard the screams of her husband and charged the tiger with a large soup spoon, bopping it on the head, the paper reported. The animal fled.
The attack happened in the Gerik Belum Forest Reserve, where the aboriginal Orang Asli people reside. The attack was unprecedented in the village, the Star reported.
The villager, who suffered wounds to his knees, head and neck, was in stable condition Sunday after being transferred to Hospital Raja Permaisur Bainun, state Wildlife and National Parks Department director Shabrina Mohd Shariff told the Star.
Wildlife officials were awaiting a permit Monday to chase the tiger farther into the jungle, the director told The Star.

Formula number one for destruction of public cash

[F1 to get clipped]

In my 'how do you like my balls now?' piece, I said that paying millions for F1

is totally stupid when you're asking grannies to pay 150 pounds a year for a tv license,

to "support British arts".
The kind of carving up of cars that goes on in F1 is not really art.

And, I like Formula 1. actually, I like it because it's basically the only widely-available

racing on tv. It's actually fairly boring. and the money is obscene.

well, it turns out that Formula 1 demands 40 Million a year
from the public broadcaster, the BBC, for the rights to show the 18 or so races!

not exactly a moral citizen of the country; and all the F1 bosses
including Bernie Ecclestone the car salesman, are British.

the first hints are going around that the BBC is gonna drop Formula1. They'd be nuts
not to.
UPDATE:
Bernie, always the promoter, is now telling the world that it would terrible to have Formula 1 only on pay tv. I foresee riots in the streets. xD

Well, then, perhaps Formula 1 should ask for a lot less than 40 million a year.

Otherwise, chop it. These are tough times.

Voices of the Protest
Delivering Moral Support in a Steady Stream of Pizzas
STEVEN GREENHOUSE
Published: February 25, 2011
MADISON, Wis. — Someday the ruckus here might be remembered as the Pizza-Powered People’s Uprising.
very day for the past week, the two Ian’s Pizza shops in town have fed the hungry masses, delivering hundreds of free pies to the Capitol. The owners of Ian’s boasted that supporters from all 50 states — as well as Bosnia, China, Egypt, France and 20 other countries — had donated thousands of dollars each day so they could give protesters the calories they needed to keep going.

On Wednesday alone, nearly 800 Ian’s pizzas were delivered to the Capitol, often 30 at a time, with police officers and legislative aides, Republican and Democrat alike, also partaking.

Underneath the Capitol’s majestic dome, as drummers drummed, demonstrators drew posters and some protesters did yoga, dozens of people swarmed toward Paul Sarnwick, an Ian’s deliveryman, as he opened a stack of boxes containing pizzas like spicy chicken taco, lasagna and buffalo chicken with blue cheese. ...
