Here is a brilliant WWll Russian propaganda Poster. I've decided to update it like it was Vassili Zaitzev in "Enemy at the Gates" in 1999, who - after others seem to have been somewhat exclusivist for a very very long time - bursts in on their Party and says ........
After 40+ years the Nazis in the Poster are the 'usual suspect' Network. The same People who - after that length of time - have become so nepotistic to be nauseating.
ReplyDeleteMaybe HSBC should start having a "Where did you get that" Campaign because this had gone on for so long. All their ATMs display a Photo of Jack Sparrow - with the Quote as the Caption. Ostensibly it's aimed to combat Credit/Debit card fraud - where People are using stolen/cloned Debit or Credit Cards, but it also says something else about another Card that has gone on for more then 25 years. Just as you put your Card (and CARD being the operative Word here) and before it shows the PIN Screen, you get the Sparrow thing and the Question ......
In other words it speaks to that Coziocracy as much as it does anyone else using those ATMs.
HSBC used to be called something else - and it was run by someone else, who had a Friend and Colleague, and while People might stupidly listen to Songs like "Penny Lane" and subscribe to it, every creative Venture had to be financed. In the 1920's and 30's Hollywood's Financier was Motley Flint - who the Producers would go to to obtain their Film Budget. He also financed the Incorporation of a certain Warner Brothers Film Company.
The difference between then and now is you didn't have this bulshit Attitude from People, and those "Children" might "Laugh behind" someones back in the Beatles Song, but what do you suppose those BECTU Unionized Technicians would say if no-one financed the Show and thus they won't be paid? Ditto for everyone from Ian McKellan to Cate Blanchett and Marton Csokas.
Heck, even Mr "Smoker you drink" wouldn't be making Records at all if the eagles and the James Gang if someone hadn't financed their Eyrie in 1928. The Question for him and his Group is - which "Eagles Nest" do you want to be?
Those 'usual Suspects' in the Poster could be People now in their early 50's, but might as well be in their early 70's being a continuation of what was wrong with the 1970's and 80's, while those supposed 'Newbies' were that of the 1980's and 90's. Subsequently, for some People it might as well still be the 1970's. That isn't having to deal with a bit of Nepotism or those doing favours among Friends, it's an extreme form of social Incest.
ReplyDeleteWhat also seems to be apparent is how the creative Process merely panders to it. That it will cultivate the next Bunch of 'usual Suspects' and conveniently as ever avoid resolving this.
There has been a Group of People who have been using a stolen Card since 1993, and Clones of it there-of. What seems conspicuous, and now very obvious, is how they've got it set up so others could never access that Network.
Not only that, but there's all the other Stuff they have to put up with too!
This isn't "Hotel California" - it's something that has been wrong since the 70's, while Songs like that, and those that subscribe to them, are part of the Problem not the Solution.
There are several things going on here.......
ReplyDeleteIt's like the Russian Soldier is calling the Social Inclusion Bluff by busting in to the Dinner Party. 1997 wasn't just the year of Tony Blair's Election Win it was also when a Hand came out of the Sea holding a Rose, rather like one from a Lake doing same a few years before. The Soldier has fought his way from a City whose "Eternal Flame" is a Hand coming from the Ground holding a Torch (Stalingrad) while there is another at Arlington Cemetery (Jack Kennedy's Grave).
"Oh hear us when we cry to thee, for those in peril on the Sea" they sang in a Sunday Service in "Titanic" which they also played at Kennedy's Funeral. Jack is turned away from that like he would be banned from his own Funeral. This was 7 years into a Decade that started at the real JJ Astor's Hotel - a Press Conference for a Human Rights Project in 1990. Someone was connected with a real Wedding which the real JJ Astor was invited, unlike the pretend one Rose was having in a Film. By the time he posted this about a year and a half ago he was starting to think that Gordon Browns "Social Inclusion" was just as pretend.
"It's my Life (Don't you forget it)" could be "A Night to remember" some of which was filmed at that Hotel.
Maybe we should have this Poster in mind when we gate crash the Dinner Party!
ReplyDeleteA Hand came from a Lake holding a Rose in 1993, a Hand comes from the Ground holding a Torch, the Eternal Flame at Stalingrad. Jack Kennedy's Grave is similarly named.
ReplyDeleteIn "Titanic" the posh People sing "Eternal Father, strong to save" - which was played at Jack Kennedy's Funeral, with that famous archive Film of JFK Junior saluting the Procession!
Jack is turned away in the Scene from the Film, the Implication being he would have been banned from his own Funeral.
The Soldier in the Poster was being turned away in his own Country and while the Nazis dined on the Produce of occupied Russia he doesn't wait for an Invitation!
If the Russian Soldier from the Land of the Eternal Flame (Stalingrad) or even Arlington Cemetery was to gatecrash the Dinner Party like he does here it's not just what might he find, but also who?
ReplyDeleteAll those People who kept him on the Street for years playing "Let's pretend we don't know each other" probably!
And while Sansa Stark says how there was no Reward for Loyalty and no Punishment for Treason, she could also criticize how there doesn't seem to be anything for those who gave everything, and everything for those who gave nothing.
ReplyDeleteThe Soldier has fought his way from the Land of the Eternal Flame (Stalingrad) like he was Jude Law in a Film, busts into the Dinner Party and sees all sorts of non-contributors!
You don't suppose Sasha was the same age as the Lad in the Pirates Movie when Major Koenig hung him do you?
ReplyDeleteI posted this as an Expression of my Disgust at a certain Cabal of People who could be in a Restaurant or a Dinner Party rather like the Nazis in the Poster. There was a Reason why I did which was similar to whoever designed and drew it 80 years ago at the Soviet Propaganda Office. That there was a Cabal of Fascists then like there seems to be now, doing the same as each other. A Nazi Dinner Party in the 1940's/ another in the 21st Century - and if the latter aren't they've done a very good Impression of those who are. Whoever drew it obviously saw them in the same way I have come to.
ReplyDeleteThe Russian Soldier might be the real life Vasily Zaitsev who has fought his way from the Volga since 1943. Fought his way from the Land of the eternal Flame to reclaim something. (See Illustrations in "Titanic ...." Post.
And there were several things that prompted it ......
ReplyDeleteNot least that disgusting episode in 2008.
Stranded in the High Street for quite a while because what I was supposed to be doing didn't happen and the Stuff I used to do disappeared into the Nazi Scumbag Dinner Party there was nothing left by then but that.
18 years before I was at the Waldorf at that Press Conference - even before 2008 I was seething knowing how I ended up there, and what happened that Day made that 100 times worse.
The Russian Soldier bursts in on their cozy Scene.
He could burst into Pinks Aftershow couldn't he, wanting to reclaim the Millennium saying "Here we are!"
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm not putting up with what happened nearly 15 years ago because a bunch of corrupt, cronyist Saffron Scumbags want to act like they were at another Dinner Party at Wannsee in 1942.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Russian Soldier isn't wearing a stupid Pink Cap either ....... Tony!
ReplyDeleteAnd who's this "Paul" they keep on about in Radiohead land? How all of this stage managed Shit keeps playing out the only Paul I can think of is the Nazi General who invaded Stalingrad.
