    That’s what Michael Lind claims, in Salon.com:

    Street theater. Communes. Manifestoes. Denunciations of “the system.” The counterculture is back. Only this time it’s on the right.

    Political factions that are out of power have a choice. They can form a counter-establishment or a counterculture. A counter-establishment (a term that Sidney Blumenthal used to describe the neoconservatives in the 1970s) seeks to return to power by reassuring voters that it is sober and responsible. A counter-establishment publishes policy papers and holds conferences and its members endure their exile in think tanks and universities.

    In contrast, a counterculture refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of the rules of the game that it has lost. Instead of moving toward the center, the counterculture heads for the fringes. Like a…

  • $10,000 Reward If You Can Watch This Horror Movie

    phoonk 2From Reuters:

    A Bollywood filmmaker has issued a lucrative challenge to horror movie fans: a $10,000 reward for anyone who can watch his latest supernatural thriller, alone, in a cinema until the closing credits. Ram Gopal Varma’s “Phoonk 2,” a sequel to his 2008 film of the same name, is about an evil spirit that traumatizes a family.

    MUFON Case #21985
    Event Date: 02/22/2010 15:35
    Location: Hazelhurst, Wisconsin
    Shape:    Bullet/Missile
    Summary: Bullet shaped aircraft screams across northern Wisconsin sky.

    Report:
    I was traveling southbound on US-51 when I saw this aircraft screaming across the sky from east to west. I was about 5 miles north of Hazelhurst. I know the photos aren’t the greatest but I had little time to react and got lucky because for the most part it was very cloudy. It didn’t look like a jet or a rocket. It looked more like a bullet shaped aircraft and had a very thick and solid contrail with a line down the center of it.

    At first I thought it was just spraying a chemtrail but afterwards it seemed more like a high speed space plane to me. 

    It wasted no time on getting out of there and the last photo shows what it left behind.

  • World Government, Alex Jones and Me

    Columnist Gideon Rachman credits Alex JonesAlex Jones with his success (sort of), in the Financial Times:

    To this day, the most successful article I have ever written was a column called “And now for a world government“. By successful, I don’t mean that it was a particularly good article – this is “success” defined in terms of internet hits.

    I noticed the other day that if I type my name into Google, one of the first popular searches suggested is “Gideon Rachman world government” which yields over 40,000 results. Gideon Rachman and new world order produces 844,000 results. Slightly weirdly, another popular search seems to be “Gideon Rachman, Jewish”, which produces over 15,000 hits.

    The common thread, I think, is that my world government piece was picked up by the loony right in America…

  • Glenn Beck Supporters, Not 9/11 Truthers, Are Advocating Violence

  • Councils Ticket Their Own Cars and then Sue Themselves!

    ‘Crackpot councils are wasting thousands of pounds by suing THEMSELVES over parking tickets. At least six local authorities have issued tickets against their own vehicles – then refused to pay the fines to themselves. Some cases went through a staggering 14 stages before reaching a Parking Appeals tribunal. One farce saw Islington Council in North London issue a ticket, then take itself to an appeal hearing – where it asked for costs against itself. The costs process involves another four steps. Stunned adjudicator Gerald Styles said he could not make an order for costs because the council could not “act wholly unreasonably or vexatiously against itself”.’

  • Al Gore’s Communist Connection

    ‘ In his prepared remarks, Lewis touched on a matter that has attracted our interest in the past—Vice President Al Gore’s Communist connection. But Lewis didn’t put it that way. Instead, he referred to Al Gore and the “controversial” Armand Hammer, the late chairman of Occidental Petroleum. In fact, Hammer was a Soviet agent and money launderer for the Communist Party who helped Vice President Gore and his family become rich.

    Lewis explained how, personally and professionally, Gore still profits from Occidental largesse. “To this day”, Lewis said, “he still draws $20,000 a year from a land deal in Tennessee brokered between his father and Hammer. The total amount is more than $300,000. The personal relationship between young Gore and Hammer was very close throughout the 1980s, including trips on Hammer’s private jet and constant campaign contributions.” Lewis explained how the Energy Department in 1997 sold 47,000 acres of federal oil reserves to Occidental, after Vice President Gore, who has a reputation as a staunch environmentalist, recommended that the president give oil companies access to this land.’
