http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/12/31/bbcs_adam_curtis_on_the_contradictory_vaudeville_of_post-modern_politics.html

quote:

Surkov turned Russian politics into a bewildering, constantly changing piece of theater. He sponsored all kinds of groups, from neo-Nazi skinheads to liberal human rights groups. He even backed parties that were opposed to President Putin.

But the key thing was, that Surkov then let it be known that this was what he was doing, which meant that no one was sure what was real or fake. As one journalist put it: "It is a strategy of power that keeps any opposition constantly confused."

A ceaseless shape-shifting that is unstoppable because it is undefinable. It is exactly what Surkov is alleged to have done in the Ukraine this year. In typical fashion, as the war began, Surkov published a short story about something he called non-linear war. A war where you never know what the enemy are really up to, or even who they are. The underlying aim, Surkov says, is not to win the war, but to use the conflict to create a constant state of destabilized perception, in order to manage and control.

Farscape is actually pretty cool.
there's a bunch of mcdonalds around here that have black "100/0" signs outside of the drive thru which is apparently some poo poo an idiot picked up from some kind of leadership seminar.

it means "100 percent responsibility/0 excuses" and the employees at the mcdonalds wear pins that say "100/0" so they can be constantly reminded of how seriously they need to be taking their fast food jobs.

He's the guy who made putins propaganda and gaslighting regime, he developed the concept of "politics as reality TV" in Russia you guys should be very afraid of this person and should do everything in your power to stop him, he is a huge threat to democracy and a huge asset to developing the framework of propaganda for fascist regimes in the 21st century.

unrelated to US politics but pretty funny, and also he blames the "musclims"

a guy in india creating a plane hijacking hoax to avoid going on a vacation with his online girlfriend because he's actually married with a child:

quote:

"hi sir am female here am doing this mail frim Hyderabad as i don't want to revel my details couse am a female and scared of issues, and mailing u this couse in the after noon around 2pm while having lunch there were 6 guys talking those guys are musclims, they were talking abt plane hijack tommarrow in Hyderabad chennai and Mumbai airport they were talking very slowly but unfortunately i heard few conversations abt this, they were saying all us 23 people have to split from here and have to board flights in 3 cities and hijack them at a time. They spoke some other things also but i couls not hear them as i heard only these few sentences from them, i dont know do am i doing correct or not and they are true or not but heard this so kindly go through this and as i informed this as a duty and a citizen of india and pls dont make me to get into issues."

When I was scuba diving in very cold water I'd eat a huge Macdonalds meal at the end of the week because I needed the fat and calories so badly.

I would shove handfuls of fries in my mouth and squirt mayo in there.

Their strawberry shakes are pretty ok.
