This post is about the reason for Being and if you have wondered how or why about you or your self or anything else then you should read this and get an introduction in to the schools of thought that will help you find the answers.
Philosophy, semiotics, magik, all stems grown from the same tree and all are used in this post to deliver this set of ideas.

Is it possible that the universe is just the creation of an unconscious mind?

Where there is choice there is meaning
Nothing is ever an accident, there are no mistakes and the is no such think as a joke
Every word and every action has a thought behind it, a choice has to be made, a decision is taken and the expression of the word or action is the result.
The meaning or reason for each decision is not often clear, especially if you’re not looking for it and even if it is clear it only leads to more questions of “why”.
This is when the tool of semiotics is needed, to be used on the world as a giant magnifying glass so as to expose all the reason and meaning behind people's choices.

Semiotics – the study of sign systems

Symbols given meaning become signs- signs convey information-information educates you and leads you to your understanding
So if you undo this and follow it backwards;
All of your understanding has been learnt from information gained from signs that where nothing more than symbols that you attached meaning to.
To understand what the meaning of the symbol represents to the user gives you a key to open a door and explore the unconscious mind.

once inside the unconscious mind you can deconstruct everything that has been built in there and have a look at how it has been put together. Its a bit like the way a mechanic can take apart an engine to look inside it and see how it performs, then he can put it back together in a better condition and more highly tuned, or he can just leave it lying in broken bits on the floor. Once you have been inside an unconscious mind You soon realise that reality is only as you make it and is also rather fragile.

To deconstruct everything like this soon has you arriving at a place where you don’t exist and there is nothing to exist in. Quite a disconcerting and fretful thought as nothing is much more troubling for the human soul than loneliness; however,it is this empty nothing-ness which can be filled with everything and anything.
This is not a journey to be taken by the weak willed or faint of heart, but if you’ve ever wondered why, about anything, semiotics will give you the answer.

To know that there are no accidents, that nothing is ever a mistake and that everything has reason should give you hope and confidence in the coldest and darkest of moments, as it should help you to overstand (not standunder) the world that you find your self living in

Any thing that you think was a mistake wasn’t. It was an opportunity for something to happen and allowed a set of events to take place.

Any thing that you think was an accident wasn’t. It was an opportunity for something to happen and allowed a set of events to take place.

The only mistake was to think that your conscious mind was ever in control

This raises some interesting questions and when explored further leads you in to the territory of “fate” and “destiny” and this is swampy ground as it has been well trodden by many a religious lunatic who have left the terrain behind them littered with dangerous ideas.

What I will say is that all things are as they are meant to be and I shall leave it at that. I think Alistair Crowley said it best when he said “the will shall be whole of the law”

It is an individual’s will that makes the choices and the decisions which are behind their actions.

Therefore It’s OK to say
Its time for me to change my self so that I can be…(…enter own word here- proud, happy, confident etc….)

Now to fresh ears this may all start to sound rather abstract and the more you explore it the madder it gets, and when praticing what was once called the dark art it may stat to "drive you insain", as the expresion goes.
I have always enjoyed the word “insanity” because it is the word we use to mean madness or crazy yet to my minds eye it says “enter sanity” due to the first half of the word being “in” which means to “enter”, so to say “he went insane” to my minds ear means "he entered sanity”. Oh the irony. There are many examples of these kinds of words in English which lend them selves so beautifully to a little semiotic analysis and deconstruction but more on that later.
I think there is a lot, if not the whole truth, in the saying “You have to loose your mind to find it” so let your self go, cast it to the wind, loose any notion you have of who you think you are, just enjoy the charector you have made... and if your not enjoying it then all you need to do is change it.

The world is a stage and we are all just players upon it

Let us condemn no one lest we condemn our selves
Let us judge no one lest we judge our selves
Let us make no laws lest we become like the lawmakers

OK, ALRIGHT !! Mustn't grumble and all that but now and and again its only healthy to let loose a little steam to stop from blowing up..... so with that being said - WHAT THE FUCK IS CHRISTMAS ALL ABOUT?!?!?!?!

I MEAN REALLY? COME ON NOW??...ARE WE REALLY STILL SO NIEVE?!?

It was a disheartening and sorry sight to see the seas of fretfull souls in a spending panic as they fought and hustled their way through each other to lay thier hands on meaningless trinkets, empty of craftsmanship , devoid of any meaning and yet where held on to as if they where the elixier of life it self.

The prophet jesus would i am sure be beautifully toaist about the whole situation and would laugh at its obserdity...i however, not having attained such enlightenment as yet, feel the need to express my dismay and sorrow that so many are aimlessly wandering like lost sheep in to the arms of a ravanous wolf dressed in the guise of CONsumer capitalism.

HAPPY SOLSTICE BROTHERS AND SISTERS....

Educated Fools

2007-11-29T05:00:00.000-08:00

so Goatboy has been missing for a while- (not that anyone noticed)but all good things are in there own place and time.

Everything is politics....and we are living in a time where many of our teachers have yet to learn and many of the learned are being ignored.

I saw this posted innocently on a friends facebook page and although it is harmless enough I thought I’d use it as an example of how the many “educated fools” of our age have once again missed the fucking point!
Here is what was posted:

Only great minds can read this

Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

here Goatboy’s response:

only 55 out of a hundred eh? well firstly, that’s more than half so if you cant read it then you are in the minority so its not that amazing and a mute point. What this does go to show, more interestingly than the stupid research findings which this nonsense reports, is that what the eye sees and what the mind makes of the information given to it by the eye can not be trusted to be correct or accurate at all. In fact the mind is constantly perverting the information to enable people to operate without having to think to much, it replaces what it doesn’t know with something that it already knows...it is essentially a lazy survival instinct for the scared, a bit like when a kitten is nervous of stuffed toy animal.
But those that are braver can learn to control this instinct. They do so that they can see further afield and thus explore further depths of experience.
This is also a survival instinct but one born out of the desire to PROGRESS and further the self/species, otherwise the self/species becomes stupid, unable to cope or understand its environment and is soon outdated/extinct/surplus to requirements as the evolutionary paths continue developing.

Try and look for what the eyes can see put the mind has never been shown.
Remember, there was a time when you saw these symbols and they where not words, they made no sense to you, now you have grown and trained your mind to see these symbols as words and have attachment some meaning to them.
Learn to read the signs

if you can read this forward this ;-)

Be a lion not a scared kitten
and don’t stop thinking just cos it starts to hurt. lets raise our selves to higher levels

Climate change, environ-mentalists and the future of earth

2007-08-09T15:00:00.000-07:00

This week the Government admitted to the inevitability of loosing large parts of the country to rising sea levels and is resigned to the fact that there is nothing that can be done to stop it.

Even with a complete about face in Lifestyle choices it could not halt the tides (pardon the pun)
A drastic change is required if humans are to continue to enjoy the luxuries that are being paid for at the expense of future generations.

Luxuries such as unseasonable fruit and veg, standby buttons on electrical appliances, plastic bags (the curse of modern man) to carry home an apple. Apples wrapped in plastic and worse than all, the unneccsersay gas guzzlers that fill the air with thick black smog as they transport unhealthy, week legged children to school.

There is not nor has there ever been a problem with creating energy to fuel these unnecessary and fruitless desires, the problem has only ever been, what to do with the waste that is created with it. we are fortunate and indulgent people but are lazy and irresponsible with it.

This problem of waste has now reached epidemic proportions and is no longer one that can be ignored or swept under the carpet, so as to speak.

In the past this problem seemed an unimportant quandary as the amount of industrial and social development gained from coal, gas and nuclear fuels far outweighed the problems of waste management.

The developments in social and cultural advancements due to new production techniques allowing for plastics, metals and chemicals to be manipulated in to wondrous things, have all aided to the growth and development of the human race.

All of this was done so with scant regard for the cause and effects of these advancements. And why should those pioneers of cared? One can not know the outcome of ones work until the work has been done.

However, over the decades the waste that was created has slowly become such a large and encompassing problem that it now over shadows all the benefits that has come from these energy sources.- household waste, industrial waste, commercial waste, loss of fossil fuels and the release of poisons in to the atmosphere all threaten to change the physical face of the planet. How humans adjust to these changes remains to be seen.

I was standing on the millennium bridge recently looking at the spectacular skyline of London at night, and I was admiring how beautiful it was when it was lit up. My enjoyment was hollow though, as I was more than aware of the irreversible damage that was being done to the planet for me to enjoy this light show.
I considered the dichotomy of life.

It was pretty, but essentially unnecessary, it looked nice but served little purpose other than that of ostentation. Most of the building that where lit where empty and many of the brightest lights are over advertising boards. Street lights where excessive in number and of an old design which made them wasteful and inefficient.

Only once the fuel that is used to lighten up the night skies of London is obtained from reusable or sustainable sources, I will be able fully to enjoy it.

But what could those sources be I hear you ask?

For those that know that all life is just energy and that energy never dies, it only ever transforms, it is easy to conceive of methods to obtain and create energy in many different ways.

Here’s one: miniature turbines under the pavement that produce and collect energy as people walk over them. They could be under the roads and pavements and would consist of a small air filled pouch that was connected to a turbine, as people or cars past over them the air would be squeezed out thru the turbine creating a small amount of electrical energy which could be stored. They are small and alone would produce only a little energy but if the highways and path ways of Britain where covered with them we would produce so much energy that we would have surplus amounts of it.
It would be free to produce other than the set up costs; it would be clean, sustainable and out of sight.

Just a thought

This form of energy production is not very profitable for company’s looking to maintain control and sales of energy production. There are very little production costs other than the initial start up costs and maintenance, and it would be produced by the populous thus making it difficult to claim ownership of the energy produced. This is a very unprofitable proposition for the many energy companies who currently sell us energy

Energy companies know that their days are numbered and that is why they are so intent on trying to gain control over any new developments in the field of energy production.

They are keen to be seen as developing new ways of generating energy that is clean, reusable and sustainable but in reality they are the ones who hold the patents on many new methodology but will not release them until the time is right for them economically.

Money is at the heart of this problem too, as with most things, because there is an economic stability that needs to be maintained whilst the transition is made over to new types of fuel development. That is if increased profits are the main objective and not humanity’s evolutional development.

We have arrive at a time of “acquired knowledge” and are now progressing towards the age of “application of knowledge”

We must remember that the evolution of the human race is a work in progress and we in this time are merely playing our part in turning the wheels.
It may be that our role here is no more than to see how far we have come, how far we have yet to go and to direct the course of our progression towards that future.

A future with clean, sustainable or renewable energy sources. Sources which work with rather than against the planet.
I
This is where you can help make a change by changing your lifestyle; it is your lifestyle which requires that economic situation. Work towards producing your own energy and producing your own crops. Seek out methods of fuelling your lifestyle in ways that are clean and sustainable such as running your car on vegetable oil. Give up your unseasonable veg, switch off your electric appliances, let go of your plastic bags and stop buying things if they are un-necessary.
Question what are your wants and what are your needs and do they match?

For example, do you want a disposable lighter or do you need one? I would suggest you use a zippo or refillable lighter. I would suggest that the extra effort or cost incurred to make that happen would be worth it if it means not flooding the lands that we live on or poisoning the waters we drink from.

Added to that ask yourself just how much you need to go on holiday abroad when you haven’t even seen half of your home country, ask yourself just how much do you really need to make that trip by plane and not train and then ask your self just how indulgent are you that you can take “holidays” at all, at the cost of humanity’s future.

I only present these questions as a way of starting you down a road of exploration on the issues facing climate change and energy consumption, as one answer will lead to another question about our individual role in this matter.

Energy companies will change upon demand and only at an economically favourable time. So it is up to us as individuals to stop requiring such “old school” energy production as we have now, and we must request change from these companies.
Customers must demand new sources of energy but must be willing to pay the cost of this change.
We must be willing to change our lifestyles, so as to change the direction of this planets physical Course

We must remember that the evolution of the human race is a work in progress and we in this time are merely playing our part in turning the wheels.

everything is politics

2007-08-02T06:23:00.000-07:00

Everything in life must have its purpose, and so must Goatboy’s pen. This blog has been struggling to find its raison d’etre since its creation but after looking back over the past posts I found that they have become increasingly politicised. But then ….Everything is politics,

and so it is that Goatboy’s pen has decided that this is to be a place for political commentary, delivered in goatboy's own unique style.

so with that said, to the matters at hand
This week:

JAH CURE is FREE!!!

After his 9 year incarceration, enforced by a corrupt judicial system, for a crime with no supporting evidence, concocted in order to remove him from being a voice for the people…Jah Cure is free from prison.

The details of his charges are irrelevant for this post and if you wish to learn more about the trumped up charges they hit him with , please do so in your own time as I will not waste any more words on them.

There was much jubilation and celebration in the streets of Kingston, Jamaica where fans greeted him on his release.
Jah Cure said, "Life goes on - this is earth – a lot of things happen." He also said "there is no room for negativity but only for forthrightness and humility in full faith of the power of Jah Almighty."

his message to the youth was plain and simple. He said, "Stay focused - no need to go down certain roads whether purposefully or not. Be conscious - don’t try certain things – stay away from certain things

His music is where you will find out what these “certain things” are ,and it was for this reason that he was locked up in the first place.
The authorities and the “powers that be” are displeased when people suggest that there may be other lifestyle choices and types of behaviour that you can live your life by which do not support a capitalist regime or even make you pay taxes.
you may end up not even recognising such regimes and governments as a part of your reality at all.

He was producing such great,conscious music which was being heard by and educating so many people that, it is my opinion, he was locked up so as to remove his ability to be heard by anybody, anymore.
This is not the first time that it has happened to a wise outspoken soul nor will it be the last , but we can take great comfort and joy from knowing that , just like Mandela before him, his day will come, his words will be heard and the truth will out.
He is currently penning a book and is getting back to the studio to put down his new material…..I cant wait to hear it.
The world better watch out, now that Jah Cure is back at the mic.

Drugs in sports- cycling and the tour de farce

So cyclists are taking performance enhancing drugs are they? Well the clue is in the title- ”performance enhancing”.

In this age where competition is all about performance and no longer about taking part, I think it would be bloody obvious that cyclists and most sports men and women for that matter, are going to be taking performance enhancers.
The problem that people seem to have with this is that it is some how unfair on the other competitors who are not taking them (why not??!!??) and also that it is in some way unnatural or cheating to take such enhancers. This seems like nostalgic folly to me (the bike isn't natural for a start).
As with everything in life from small amoebas to mobile phones all things will evolve with time. Amoebas get larger and phones get smaller but in all cases it is so as to be an improved version of the last.
Runners are faster, cyclists are quicker, footballers are fitter, triathlons are longer and even darts has gone alcohol free. Sportspeople are judged on their achievements and there performances and not for their taking part, so it will be that the aim of any sportsperson is to be able to perform to best of their physical ability….
deciding what methods are used in attempting to achieve this, is when the drugs problem rears is head. There are guidelines which govern which drugs are legal and which are not legal to use in aiding the body’s fitness and this is why there is a problem. All drugs should be allowed to be used or none at all, and to ban all drugs from use would be a nonsense because then you would have to quantify just what is a drug? tetrahydrogestrinone? , caffine? the sugar in a banana? Or all three?

The problem is that with all of the acquired knowledge now available to humankind it is possible to create an almost infinite amount of drugs for producing very specific and different effects, to aid the human body in achieving athletic feats. It is my opinion that all and any techniques/drugs or methods should be allowed in all sports.
A handful of commentators maintain that, as outright prevention of doping is an impossibility, all doping should be legalized. However, most disagree with this assertion, pointing out the harmful long-term effects of many doping agents. With doping legal, all competitive athletes would be compelled to use drugs, the net effect would be a level playing field but with widespread health consequences. - wikipedia

Maybe there could be a separate competition for athletes that wanted to remain drug free and then the best from the drugged up athletes and the best from the dope free sports folk could go head to head in a showdown.

With a legalisation of all drugs Sportspeople would require a knowledge of chemistry and physics to go with the biology they already know.
Sport would be complete.
At the moment sportspeople, as we have seen in the “tour de farce” this week, are all ready combining these 3 sciences to great effect, the only problem is the archaic rules that are governing the sports deem it illegal to do so.

On a side note….
I thought it was a bit rich that champion cyclist lance Armstrong was having a go at the “drug takers” this week, wasn’t he a man who beat cancer before winning his tours?
i dont mean to sound harsh, but Im sure that there were plenty of wonder drugs used in beating his cancer and it wasn’t done by drinking orange juice and doing sit ups was it? No! it was lots and lots of drugs…lovely, powerful body performance enhancing drugs.!

..so no I wont be easy on him just because he had cancer. What does he want? a fucking medal. Hes got 7 of them…and all down to orange juice apparently.

anyway now for your edutainment...

Thatcher's reforms are to blame for 7/7

2007-07-22T18:09:00.000-07:00

First things first...it appears, with hind sight that I may have been a little harsh in my last post when noting the death of Glastonbury due to a corporate murder carried out by twats wearing fashionably essential mud on their Donna Karen and Pradas. I had taken exception to the way it is organised, policed and priced so as to keep away the very people who first started the festival. However from those who were able to attended and obtain a ticket to get you past the Israeli border style security gates I here that great times where had and the experience was a much enjoyed one so for that I am very glad and apologize for putting a downer on it.

Now... to more interesting issues. the roots of Islamic extremism.

I have just read Ed Hussain's book "The Islamist", which is a fascinating and insightful recount of a London born and raised Bangladeshi man, and his journey towards extremist Islamist ideals.

The story he tells starts of with him as a young Asian boy, with glasses, who is a bit of an outcast amongst his fellow pupils at school and who attends Stepny Green in Hackney. An important fact is the time in which this took place.
He was starting school at the time when Margaret Thatcher was disbanding the I.L.E.A, (the London education authority) which was responsible for the running and funding of London's schools. She then placed the funding and organising of schools in to the hands of local authorities. Under qualified, under resourced and undermined local authority's.
Hackney of coarse was one of the poorest boroughs in the country and had little money to provide the means for a decent schooling. It also had the highest Asian population in the country.

This essentially led to thousands of young Asian men in the borough getting very little access to good education.

A bad education or only a little information are a dangerous thing.

His path towards his extremist views was mapped out by a combination of politically minded individuals, who took advantage of him and his willingness to learn, and his ego driven ideas born out of an ill education.

He had adopted all manner of highly dangerous political ideals born out of irrational, emotionally charged opinions, unsupported by facts, logic or any kind of rational. It was only later in life after he gained himself an education, done by means of formal study in a supportive and secular environment, that he realised the ignorance and harm of his extreme totalitarian political beliefs which he had previously owned.

The point here is that it was the heartless Conservative, social policy reforms of the late 80's ,which denied education,employment, and opportunity to the people who needed it most, that Mrs Thatcher implemented, which are responsible for the many, ill educated young men, who are now susceptible to the teachers of politicised Islamic teachings.

Margaret Thatcher and her right-wing social reforms are to blame for the 7/7 London bomb attacks as much as anything or anyone else is ....probably more

knowledge is the key to understanding

The heavens love nothing higher than a scholar

education,education,education..... Ive heard that before somewhere? cant think where

more soon folks....
and don't forget.....
...cos we wont

It has been an eventful time that Goatboy has endured these past few weeks, what with the snake leaving Downing street ( and in the most undignified manner too….oh how I laughed when he arrived back in his constituency and the mischievous little curators of fates made his car late to pick him up and he suffered the most shameful of ego-deflating moments by trying to get in to wrong vehicle only to be told that his was not the “Lexus” but the shitty looking hatchback over the road ahahaha SHAME! hahaha).

Goatboy has also been ordained as a year older in earthly years and as such has been partaking in the expected rituals as is the custom with this occasion. Bacchus has been a constant companion over these festivities and as much as he is loved by Goatboy, it is a relief that he has left , as it is to awaken without hearing the bells of death ringing inside ones cranium.

So firstly…
A big “thank you” to all of you who made the snakes exit such an uneasy one.
Well done to you all

Secondly…

Seeing Mark Thomas talk was a great pleasure and if I was a critic I would have to quit or change my job description to promoter because it was close to perfect - if such a thing there is.

One man , a Voice and his words that told stories that where captivating, humorous, insightful, informative and most of all important.

(for as the quote goes.. “if what you have to say is not greater than silence, stay silent”)

He spoke about SoCa , this is the law which has made it illegal to demonstrate anywhere near Parliament without official police permission.
This was brought in essentially to deal with Brian Haw (or so they claim), David Blunkett even said “it is a sledge hammer to crack a nut, but he is a nut” - but even that missed, as Brian Haw is the one person exempt from the law because he was there before it was brought in and the law can not work in retrospect!

Mark Thomas gave a riveting account of his efforts to combat this law by inundating the police with requests for lone demos, with demonstrations being waged on everything from banning trolls to saving surrealism.

He also talked about the arms trade and his investigations in to the dark and murky world of selling weapons. All information is available from his web site here….

http://www.markthomasinfo.com/

And look out for the McDemos company he has set up and have him hold a demo on your behave . You can demonstrate against anything you like from the comfort of your own living room! Well worth a look.

In other news ……

War –

Are all up this week, while;

Peace –
Sharing –

Are all down this week ,as the stock market for global harmony took a nose dive due to the huge expenditure and general ignorance at the Earth-day and Diana-day debacles.
This did not help the shaky situation that had already been created by the death of Glastonbury when the corporate capitalist love-fest that has now become, fucked the last breath of life out of it.

Lets hope for better things next week

Protest at Downing Street on Blair's last day

London Wednesday 27 June
From 10am
Join Military Families Against The War
Supported By Stop The War Coalition

Military Families Against the War, supported by Stop the War Coalition, are planning to make Wednesday 27 June an anti-war day in Downing Street.
This is the day Tony Blair leaves office to be replaced by Gordon Brown.

Tony Blair will leave Downing Street in the morning and our protest will begin at 10am. Gordon Brown will enter in the afternoon (we will publicise the time as soon as we get it), when Military Families Against the War will deliver him a letter asking him to meet them, a request that Blair has turned down repeatedly over the past three years.

Please join us to make sure that Blair’s last day in office is marked by his true legacy: up to one million killed in Iraq, over four million Iraqis – one in seven of the population – now refugees and 151 British soldiers killed in an illegal and unnecessary war.

With Goatboy going to see Mark Thomas later on in the week I thought I'd leave it to him to give a few words on this day, when we can finally breath a sigh of relief that the wretched politician that was Tony Bliar is gone. Thank the heavens....
I have also reposted Brian Haws speech because he is one man who has been there with Tony for nearly his whole time in office, only Brian wasn't in an office or even a building but camping outside the Houses Of Parliament, relentlessly reminding those inside of there crimes. His words ring out load and clear both in this clip and on his megaphone at Parliament Square and it hard not to love him for it.(unless your a heartless basted bathing in bath of blood money that)
See ya Tony ...Run along..... and don't come back!!

Due to circumstances that require me to meditate over matters material rather than write about them i am going to leave words to a minimum from myself today and leave the words of wisdom and edutainment to some fine and respected voices.
The "Good riddance Tony" theme is still an influence behind this selection of musical enlighteners, although i feel that the overall tone is one that presents a very different idea of how we could be experiencing this existence than that held by your average educated fool.

Let love be our light and the pain be our reason

2007-06-22T19:16:00.000-07:00

So with Tony slowly making his way out of the exit lets take a quick moment to ask just where it all went wrong for the man so full of hope when he first arrived on the scene.
He came to power with promises to clean up politics and left it looking dirtier than a club toilet off the back streets of Soho,
Personally I think his world changed when he got to spend a cozy night with his future dominatrix, G.W Bush., at Camp David,
The hopeful and naive young man that he was when he arrived at No.10 was gone by the time he returned from his camping trip with Dubbya and what was left was a pathetic gimp of a man who looks as if he would like to cry. He was/is a naive God fearing prat, lets not forget, and I think that when he got to Camp David he realized that G.W threatening to kill him, his wife and his kids unless he shut up and followed orders was more scary than some fictional hell. Since that day he realized that he wasn’t a great inspirational and (to quote Labour) New, type of Politician, he was a simple pawn like all the others before him and all the rest to follow him.

here's today's little bit of fun and all at Tony's expense ( still i think he owes us that much at least!)

i’ll leave it to George Galloway to sum up Tony’s legacy , because what ever opinion you might have of him he certainly hits the nail on the head here when describing T.Bliar in this clip

ill have more comedy for you tomorrow and some music too cos that basted cant have all the focus
actualy with that said let me post this little gem for you so that you can listern to a real spoksman for the people, the great (and dare i say Prophet) Robert Nesta Marley

See ya Tony..won't wanna be ya!

2007-06-21T18:52:00.001-07:00

Education, education, education and being tough on crime were among the keywords of Tony Blair's first Prime Ministerial campaign.

Well he has managed to educate us in the folly of trusting politicians who make promises but can’t keep them.
He has tried to educate us in to accepting misinformation and political rhetoric as fact and he has tried to educate us in to thinking that we should be fearful and untrusting and suspicious, and as for being tough on crime I think it is fair to say that he may be one of the biggest criminals and mass murderous in recent history.

So..Thanks Tony. Thanks for the ego fueled runaway train that you have had us all riding along with you on for the past ten years, or at least since you returned from Camp David, (what did happen to Tony over there? I have my theories but I will save those for later in the week when I post more about the leader we are about to lose, thank God!...and not before time either),
I'm glad his time at the helm is over, not because I think that there will be some great and radical change in the way that politics is carried out in the halls parliament with out his wicked influence ‘cos it wont happen, but because I simply cant stand seeing this degenerative, deflated and crazed looking husk of a man any more. He looks like a mad old dog that needs to be shown outside because it cant find the door for itself ….. more of my thoughts on Tony each day as we count down to his big “Fuck Off” party and I don’t mean big.
so until then lets just enjoy these clips of Tony …as they say in Big Brother:
“ Tony, Here are your best bits ”……………

It all started with a kiss.... Tony's love affair that ruined him

Police invasion of Finsbury Park Station

2007-06-20T18:56:00.000-07:00

I happened to be in krapyrubsnif otherwise known as Finsbury park when I noticed that something was terribly wrong. I wanted to get on the underground service but when I arrived at what I thought was the station I was confronted by so many police that I thought I was at the cop shop. I was wrong and to my surprise I wasn’t at the local butchers despite the smell of pig and I was actually at Finsbury park underground staion but the police had decided that they where going to place a metal detector at each exit and search everybody that came out..or at least search the ones that their pig ignorant prejudice minds wanted to search, which meant young lads with African or Caribbean heritage.

JUST WHAT DO THEY THINK THAT THEY ARE DOING!?!? ……
What are they trying to achieve here?
How is this effective policing?
Why are they all standing around with their hands in their pockets?

How is this NOT an invasion of civil liberties?
How is this even legal?

Haven’t they got better things that they could be doing? Why are they all so thick? I guess that’s why don’t they realize that they and the police force as an entity only exist as a piece of theater to give the public peace of mind.
They cannot nor will they ever be able to do anything to prevent crime or its cause. They can and will only ever be able to give the appearance of doing so.

I took this footage so as to show just what an imposing site it was for someone who just wanted to get a tube home but happened to have a couple of grams of herbal medicine in his pocket, which shouldn’t be a problem, but due to some very old and bizarre legal laws still in place about it, it was a problem to have it now. After taking the footage I went around the corner, stuck the offending herbs in my shoe and proceeded to run the gauntlet of trying to get a tube train with out P.C Fukwit wanting to touch me up and stick his fingers up my bottom.
Thankfully P.C Fukwit was busy trying to work out why it gets darker when he puts his sunglasses on, so I was able to pass him without any drama….this time. I have been less fortunate in the past in this very same situation.
You may not think that this manner of policing is a problem and that they are doing a valuable and important task, especially since 7-11, and that in these times a terrorist could be boarding the tube with a bomb and that this could stop him…etc etc. well that is nothing more than wishful thinking on your part is all I need to say about that.
I will repeat
They cannot nor will they ever be able to do anything to prevent crime or its cause. They can and will only ever be able to give the appearance of doing so.

So you should be concerned with seeing this kind of police activity because today its weed smokers and kids with out the money for a ticket that they are coming for….but tomorrow it could be you.

First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Muslims, and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Muslim.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left
to speak up for me.

In the words of the great voice of the people Mr. Ice T….”Fuck da Po’Lice”

Make Geldof History

2007-06-18T07:14:00.000-07:00

Bob Geldof is a self promoting egotist who's efforts to see an end to global poverty are nothing more than a vehicle for Bob to ease his own conscience about the huge home that he owns and the vast capitol and wealth that he has.

I had the chance to ask him about this after the "MakePovertyHistory" rally in Trafalgar square.....having cornered him as he was having his ego stroked by autographs hunters and I told him that I thought his speech was nice and all, but it lacked any actual power. I told him he had not talked about what we would have to do in order to make poverty history...
"but Bob, what did you ask the people to change ?" I asked "You didn’t ask them to stop consuming or change their habits did you Bob? Why not Bob?"........

He was drinking Champaign at the time and this question threw him a little....I think he thought I just wanted to be seen with him like everyone else there rather than engage with him on the reason we where there at all, but he did take the time to think about it ( I could hear cogs churning over) and then he told me ..

" but that’s cos they don’t have to give up anything!"
he then rose his arms up as if in a victory celebration at this gem of wisdom he had spouted. The crowd loved it and cheered him.

I was less impressed...
"but Bob that’s a nonsense" I said, his arms came down. "we all have to make a decision on how, why and with whom we are going to spend our money don't we? if we are to really going to "make poverty history". I mean its all a matter of capitalism isn’t it?..let me give you an example...."

"...do you like my outfit Bob, I looks alright doesn’t it?". Bob looked and agreed it was a nice get up. I was, as the fates would have it, dressed in a very nice outfit that day, dark blue jeans, a nice dark sweater with a dark navy pin stripped jacket, a pair of no-name brand but slick looking trainers and a baseball cap that was also dark blue. No logo. It was, even if I say so myself , a fine ensemble of items that looked good...this is important not for my ego but for the purpose of the story.

" well thank you Bob, I do try and make an effort" i said "but the point here is that all this gear is form charity stores, all new and unworn and cost me about £15 head to toe.....even my socks are knitted by my girlfriend, and that’s the choice that I have made, Bob, to try and combat the capitalist machine that "makes poverty happen". I gave up my Nike trainers and Versace shirts...how about you bob? what did you give up? How much was that nice coat your wearing Bob? see my point?"

Bob was wearing a very expensive looking full length coat, and his shoes where none to cheap looking ethier.

At this point Bob's face had changed and had the look of a man who was hearing his mother telling him off...he didn’t give me an answer, he just huffed a little and tutted, gave me a look that said your "cramping my style here", i cant be sure but think he even said "whatever" and then turned on his heels and walked in to his chauffeur driven Damlier...still with Champaign in a fancy glass ( a cracked t-cup would do me) and left. not even a wave to his fans.
What a twat.

so when you see Bob tell him you don’t like Mondays but he’s even harder to like.
tell you what Bob ill do a deal with you....you give up your mansion home, stop indulging your ego with your greedy self serving desires, donate your wealth to the third world and ill stop telling everyone what a cunt you really are. deal?
lets make Geldof's chaaarritywagon history

Goatboy is back ..

2007-06-11T11:51:00.000-07:00

Goatboys Pen has been left unattended in recent weeks but upon my return I am happy to find that it has survived unharmed and is and has been pleasantly resting in its own little corner of cyberspace.

In the most recent post's this blog has become more political in its expression, although its difficult not to do so as every thing is politics, however there is one avenue for political discourse that remains the most enjoyable and more importantly powerful than most forms of expression, comedy. In the camp of enlightenment comedy sits with art and music shining the way for any who see it.

Check out the comedy central "Axis of Evil Comedy Tour"

With the conflicts in the middle east, the war on Islam and the general ignorance that surrounds the West's consumerism which supports it, this comedy central show was a great opportunity for some of America's finest comics of Arabic and Middle Eastern heritage to have their say and express their perspective of life in America during these times.

watch the full show here
http://joox.net/cat/137/id/1278137

on a slightly lighter comic note....here is Sarah Silverman ripping on Paris Hilton at the Mtv awards.
This has caused so much traffic and responses on youtube that it is amazing to think that this is what most Americans are getting their knickers in a twist about while half the world lies dying and are trying to see the funny side of that.
Fuck Paris Hilton and the pumpkin stage coach she rode in on
If you don't know Sarah Silverman then you should get to know her...

Sarah Silverman Rips Into Paris Hilton at Mtv Awards...

and to finish to days post her is some rare footage of the messiah of comedy Mr Bill Hicks
thanks to a guy called muhoboika on youtube for this.
Bill is was and always will be the master of comic timing,performance and content, all wrapped up in his own unique and honest free flowing form.

Something smells fishy in the waters of Iraq

2007-04-02T10:41:00.000-07:00

15 British soldiers are apparently captured in Iranian waters by Iranian military after mistakenly entering the restricted area.

The British response to this is to claim that the captured seaman where not in Iranian waters but within Iraq’s waters of which they have a right to be in and patrol.
The Iranians claim the opposite and have released video confession from the detainees admitting that they entered Iranian waters

The right to patrol and police these waters is in itself a dubious claim but that is not the issue which is most bizarre about this situation.
If the British soldiers where in Iraq waters, doing their usual patrols, how is it that they where able to be captured by the Iranians? They must be pretty useless soldiers. If they where in Iranian waters by accident, then it leads one to believe that these soldier’s orienting skills are somewhat lacking and are thus pretty useless soldiers.

The way that the British press is handling the situation is by turning it in to a human interest story and thus generating public support for the captured soldiers because it’s much easier to find sympathy with a young white chap from Essex called Dave than it is for Private 91354, and did I miss a memo? but why have they suddenly become “captured sailors” and not “captured soldiers” as was first reported. What a very subtle but very effective way of re-branding the captured military personal.

It all smells very much of what playground dwellers call “shit-stirring”- a tactic used to create a drama out of which can arise the opportunity for a punch-up. Only in this case it will be bullets and mortar rounds that will do the striking.

If the British Government are guilty of trying to make a crisis out of a drama they are not alone, and the Iranians are just as keen to play sillybuggers.
The Iranian government is also guilty of helping to instigate a skirmish by acting like the injured party aggrieved at the dishonesty of the invasion in to their waters and trying to draw Teachers attention to the outrages acts committed by their foe , for no other reason than to wind them up. The Iranian government stands behind Teachers back laughing with 2 fingers up as the British jump up and down spluttering “but. but…” getting more and more incensed at the apparent injustice of it all.

The whole situation is extremely fishy and I would doubt that it what hold up to any real investigation. The evidence is all rather flimsy and there remain a few odd questions…odd only because they have be asked.

Where the British soldiers in Iraq or Iranian waters? And did they know that they were there?
Did they go there on purpose or was it a genuine mistake?
Could the British have set this up in attempt to secure a reason to invade Iran?
Could the Iranian government be using this opportunity to try and secure the release of captured Iranian personal?
Is this a double bluff by one of the governments or a just a genuine diplomatic balls up by both?

A quote in today’s Guardian newspaper from an Iranian business man, Hamid,34 say “They should be released, The Iranian government is misusing it to deflect attention from other problems”

This could be said of the British Government also.

It’s a shame that the U.N cant act like the older, more responsible member of the playground and take a hold of the situation while teaching both of the squabbling little nations how to work their difference out sensibly.
However that’s probably far to much to ask as they have never been able to do that will more than likely shy away from the situation and sulk in the corner muttering to themselves asking why should they bother cos nobody ever listens to them anyway.

Music is the food of love....

2007-03-19T16:03:00.000-07:00

Goatboys'pen has posted a selection of music videos for your enjoyment and edutainment.
Music is food for the soul, a fuel for the expression of feelings that are otherwise unexplainable. It is though music that language transcends its limitations of construct and form and are allowed to break free to create entirely new meaning. We act as vehicles for the words to arrive and as such we see that out physical form is just a tool for the expression of the voice inside.

Goatboys'pen has, over the past few posts, become increasingly political, which was never the intention for this blogsite. In these times of global social and political conflict, it is important to remember that life is just a spell, just a passing moment in the memory banks of our psyches. We would do well to spend as much of the experience as we can , simply enjoying it for what it is..... and what is it? Well, who can tell?
can you?

so here is a collection of comic clips, routines and happenings to help you remember to smile and most importantly...not to take it all to seriously.

Tim Vine…
If some quick fire hits of stupid gags timed to perfection is what you need then look no further… Tim Vine is the spitfire of one-liners

Demetri Martin…. Gentle punchlines, like a master of the martial arts, Demetri delivers a powerful punchlines with the gentlest of touches

Sarah silverman....
The amazing, insightful, intriguing and ever so watchable Sarah Silverman plays with her audiences and their sensibilities as she walks the fine line of good taste with artful grace.

More from Sarah doing what Sarah does….

Is Jesus God? Sheikh Ahmed Deedat vs Anis Sorrosh

2007-03-15T04:41:00.000-07:00

For some religion is dead ....consumerism has killed it

For others it it is not..
in these times more than ever it is necessary to explore the theology that separates and connects the beliefs that people have.
with more than 1 billion Muslims worldwide and the Islamic faith rapidly growing while Christianity is decreasing, we could do well to try and understand the conflict that lies between these two schools of religious thought.
It is a very simple and basic theological problem and it lies with Jesus......
(always getting the blame isn't he! maybe he shouldn't of bothered and just stayed at home with his mum)
The discord arises out of the Resurrection of Jesus because this ,to the Cristian, is the prove that he was not a mortal man and in fact "God"-(whatever that means) where as any Muslim is quite happy to go along with Jesus being a prophet, a great master and holy man......but only ever that ...just a Man, a mortal man, like you and me.

This issue separates theses two cousins of the house of Abraham because essentially the Muslims think that their Christan cousins are living in la la land and believe in people who can do party trick magic as their saviour, and the Christians think that the Muslims are all crazy because they don't believe that the tricks are real!

Sheikh Ahmed Deedat was challenged to a debate to discuss this contentious issue in an historic event held at the Albert hall.
Deedat masterfully deconstructs the theories that the christian scholars put to him on the "immortality" of Jesus and then proceeds to expose how Christians have used the bible as a book of misinformation, which it is has become.

The Christians are nervously shifting in there seats with a look of discomfort by time that Deedat has finished with them, He knows his bible better than they do, he is able to quote and reference it with out a copy in front of him and even corrects and explains misinterpretations that the Christians have made...of their own doctrines!!!

Deedat aimed at providing Muslims with theological tools for defending themselves against the intense missionary striving of many Christian denominations.
Deedat was a master of languages, a master of the Scriptures, a wonderful speaker who held the platform with grace and dignity, with humour and passion and was always a pleasure to listen too.... he was such a great man that as he takes to the platform to begin his response to the christian party, the Christian speakers hug him ( listen to one of them repeatedly say " i love you i love you" to Deedat.)

Here is an example clip of the debate and for the full lecture cut and paste the link below and watch the clip series at youtube.com
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcMzHgq2zRo )- for full lecture.

" WE are just WOOORMS! "
"We don't do monkey trickS!"
Deedat gets stuck in to the contradictions of the christian doctrines...

While not wanting to offer my own thought on the issue of Jesus and his mortality, as it is for you do find your own truth, i have always agreed with William Blake in his marriage of "Heaven and Hell" where he says....
God is made manifest through man- Christ was the first to make this distinction.

and as Jesus himself is supposed to of said-
"are ye not all gods?"

here is a some footage of Deedat taken in a more relaxed setting, where he Sheikh Ahmed Deedat debates with the American soldiers of the First Gulf War in Saudi Arabia.

See how the arrogant American soldier enjoys saying his name wrong to try and wind him up and Deedat simply says " just call me uncle"

It is an example of brain over brawn but is sad to see that someone as masterful as Sheikh Ahmed Deedat has to tolerate this petty minded infancy from grown men who really don't know any more than they did when they were 6 and yet now have the ego to think that they actually mean something.

Brian Haw wins Channel 4's Most Inspiring Political Figure Award 2007

2007-03-04T11:46:00.000-08:00

Brian Haw is a man who I have often described as an inspirational person, a true warrior for peace and a man who I have been in awe of for many years due to his unwavering commitment and dedication to his campaign for peace in Iraq. He is not fearful of voicing his objection to the hanous crimes and deceitful actions of government at the cost of innocent human life, when he speaks he speaks from the heart and so he always seems to say exactly the right thing, he speaks simply and yet powerfully. He is a true voice.
And so it was with great pleasure and joy that that I watched him receive the award for Channel 4's Most Inspiring Political Figure 2007

He has suffered in his campaign while fighting for his beliefs (although I reckon he would say that it's rubbish to suggest that when you consider the sufferings of those less fortunate than himself), the cold wet nights of a smelly, noisy, aggressive, central London is no picnic stop, and he has been camped there not for weeks or months but for years. Many years. To see him gain recognition and to be given the opportunity to speak in his wonderfully unchallengeable style was a great moment and a small little reward for his hard work and endeavours.

On the occasions that I have met Brian and been granted the honour of chatting to him, he has been enlightening and wise with his calm and reasoned manner, and also has the gift of wit about him which makes him a pleasure to talk too.
(sometimes he really isn't in the mood for dialog, and why should he be, I am basically walking in to his front room and seeing if he wants a chat...its not like he can close the door on the world for 5 Min's and keep himself to himself, hes there on public display ,24/7 ,365)

http://www.parliament-square.org.uk/
cut and paste this Link to go to Brian's Web page and find out more about him

Here is a video of him receiving his award and also getting the chance to tell to the faces of those who propagated and gained from this criminal war, why they must stop it.
(The basted politicians look ashamed of themselves, just as they should do!)

Noam Chomsky & Harold Pinter @ Columbia University

2007-02-15T12:11:00.000-08:00

-
I Had the great pleasure of being able to see the video Lecture of Harold Pinter's Nobel Lecture on Art, Truth & Politics, which was followed by an audience with the great Noam Chomsky. He took questions from the gathered mass and spoke for a about 45 minuets. I would of liked him for him to stay a little longer because it didn't allow for any really interesting questions to be asked of some one as knowledgeable as himself, although ,that being said ,its not the best forum to get really interesting debate when one is speaking to so many people. Plus it was a frighteningly cold winters evening and I'm sure he was keen to get back to the warmth, credit due, he could of opted for staying indoors by a fireside. It was a refreshing pleasure to see that amongst the warped zombies in the commercial capital of the consumer world, there where so many wise people, both old and young who still knew not to believe the hype.

The question that I was going to ask of Mr.Chomsky was this,
" Do you think that the so called 'War on terror' is in fact more precisely a 'War on Islam' with the reason for this being that under Islamic Law, capitalism would not be able to function or even exist which makes Islamic Law the last remaining enemy of Capitalism?"

As I was unable to get an answer from him at the time i will send him my question and see what response he send me...if any. I will of course post any response I receive.

Art,Truth & Politics.
He starts
'There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false.'
It is an extrodinary lecture in which he pulls no punches when discussing American Foriegn Policy over the past 50 yrs and sternly tells us how Britain is now "pathetic and supine"

It is a joy to watch and is incitfull and intreaging as we hear the views of a man is was directly involved in confronting the crazed power mogals of the U.S Politcal regime.

NewYork Subway BreakDancers

2007-02-15T11:44:00.000-08:00

These Guys Where putting on a show in the Subway of Central Station, Manhattan, New York. They Put on a short show of some amazing and extraordinary Break dancing moves, Which is one of the finest art forms. They entertained the crowd, they kept the lanes clear for the passing traffic and made sure we put money in the bucket because after all "this is NewYoik and aint nuttin' for free baby" .

I only had my phone to recorded it on and so missed some of the best bits of the show but it gives a little flavour of their performance

"NEW YORK NEW YOIK"

2007-02-15T11:13:00.000-08:00

Fresh back from the Big Apple that is New York City I am staggered to find out how inferior and tiny London really is. I had always seen the City of London as a tall encompassing monster that swallowed you up in its towing presence as it casts it shadows over your being. After having spent a week in the center of Manhattan, as seen previously on the likes of "Sex in the City" or "NYPD Blue" London becomes rather unimposing and quite frankly, a bit soft. The buildings in New york don't just tower over you, they rise up from huge roots and appear to have no end to them, you have to crane you neck just to see if they stop rising anywhere and even then the peaks of them are only just visible with out lying prostrate on the sidewalk. They line up side by side with no gaps between them as if they are a set of linebackers on an American Football team. They are a wonderment to behold when first encounted and a feast for the eyes to feed on but their awesome presence soon have you organised and focused with your eyes firmly on the floor in front of you. They force you to keep your head down and to get on to where your going with a stone Wall one the one side of your peripheral vision and a Yellow Cab on the other.

( I have Some great photos of the City, Which i will post A.S.A.P but i have to scan them in first as they where taken with some really old school technology where I have to take a plastic, filmy thing to a shop where this guy does some chemical stuff to it and then i get them back....on paper!- not even a memory stick?!?! )

Tom Cruise is still not Gay....He's Devine!!

2007-01-29T11:30:00.000-08:00

It's official - Tom Cruise is divine

The story goes that TOM Cruise has been named as the new “Christ” of Scientology, according to leaders of the pseudo-scientific religion. The leader of the Organisation, which is very definitely NOT a cult,(despite what the German Government might of decided), David Miscavige believes that in future, Cruise, 44, will be worshipped like Jesus for his work to raise awareness of the religion.
It would be easy to either laugh out loud or cry in despair at this latest tale from the strange happenings of Planet L.A Galaxy , U.S.A (Unbelievably Stupid Actors) but let us do neither.

Lets us not judge Little Tom, for only those who wish to be judged themselves should judge others, rather let us all send him this prayer, which has been adapted from "a prayer to be more like Jesus" so as to be more fitting to the latest divine little so and so to walk among us mere mortals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRAYER TO BECOME MORE LIKE JESUS…. The Tom Cruise Jesus!

L.Ron, our Father who is called Hubbard, You gave us Tom and have saved us and our thetans through him who is Christ, who is called Tom, Little Tom who is mighty, Oh Tommy, Tiny Tom, TommyTom . Through Him You have saved us from death, (which is like having no Oprah) and given us Your Divine life of grace ,(which is Oprah). By becoming more like TomJesus on earth, may I come to share His glory in Heaven, (which is not of this planet). Give me the peace of Your kingdom ( in Hollywood), which this world does not give (For Free).
By Your loving care, which is seen by the love you show to your wife, protect the good You have given me. Open my eyes to the wonders of Your Love, (which is not gay…at all …not even a little bit) that I may serve You with a willing heart (and open wallet)
Amen
..................................................................................
And let us not forget that he has already shown the world how he will use his awesome powers, when angered by disbelievers

As an Arsenal Fan and a football fan, Who had his introduction to the beautiful game and the world of the terraces in the era of George Graham's team, it was with great pleasure that i read this article in the Guardian Newspaper where Sam Wollaston meets Perry Groves. In the piece Sam Wollaston asks "How did a so-so player from the 80s find his new autobiography outselling Wayne Rooney's?" and more amusingly Cashly Cole's scrap book that he vomited up.

Benditson, but not Quite like Beckham

With all of the words that have been written about David "Goldenballs" Beckham and his highly lucrative move to L.A galaxy over this past week I don't really want to bother giving the sorry excuse of a footballer any more coverage, except to point out my favourite piece that I read. It was a small little piece included in the sunsports report on the MASSIVE wage salary that Peckham will be receiving.

It points out that while he will be earning about £3,000 an hour, his team mate Benjamin Benditson (nice irony) will be earning just £6,015 per year.

It also points out that Beckham will earn in one week, the same amount as Landon Donavon ,the highest payed player in the league , earns in a year.

So rumors that he went to America to further his career as an international image slag and reign with Victoria as king & Queen of the celebrity gimps, guided by their council of High Priest and Guru Mr Tom "i'm not in a Cupboard" Cruise and Princess Katie of Holmes, are all obviously false.
He didn't go to make money or make movies or to have sex with Miss Cruise because Mr Cruise doesnt want to, and thats not becuase Mr cruise doesn't like women much and would prefer to wrestle with his man friends instead.

Suggestions that some players are looking to kick seven shades of shit out of Beckham on the football pitch next year unless he pays for the sandwiches at half time are as yet unfounded and simply rummer.

Politics,politricks,lollisticks - Ruth Kelly Doh!

2007-01-08T15:42:00.000-08:00

Ruth Kelly believes that she is “doing the right thing” by putting her son through private schooling and it is not a bad decision.
Not from the perspective of a concerned mother who wants to provide the best opportunities for her child with special learning needs, but it is a stupid decision to make from the perspective of a former Education Minister who represents a government who have policies of integrating special educational needs in to main stream schools.

Which child doesn’t have special educational needs? And what exactly does that mean anyway?
The very nature of schooling or teaching is to help students to learn, to facilitate the student with a way of understand and acquiring knowledge on what ever the subject matter may be. The nature of the schooling may need to vary according to the learners needs but this does not, at any point, stop being schooling.
In which case, all learning, whatever the needs are, should take place in "school". One school, for all people, where education can be sort and gained, whatever the students learning requirements maybe.

The idea of integrating S.E.L needs in to mainstream schooling is a vital part of revolutionising the education system in to one that provides all schools with the ability to meet the learning needs of all its students, whatever they maybe.

The decision for Ruth Kelly to put her son thru private schooling did nothing to endorse or install confidence in the policy of integration, quite the opposite.
All she has managed to do is highlight the fact that local schools are under equipped and over subscribed with students with special learning needs, and that if you have money then you can buy your way out of this problem through private schooling.

Her decision was not very politically astute and nor was it very socially responsible either.
I have heard it said that her decision was probably more influenced by her relationships with opus dei , the hardcore recruiting branch of the Vatican, and that she probably didn't want her son mixing with all the unclean little heathen children at the local school but I certainly wouldn’t like to suggest that on this site.

Gardens and that...

2007-01-08T07:44:00.000-08:00

I was asked “why do you like gardens anyway?”…

I said
“Because they’re full of care. Someone has toiled in the earth and cared for the life that exists in its grounds. A garden is a testament to what happens when you care for something, nourish it, provide the best possible environment for its growth and development and then stand back and let it go.
The plants do what they want to do and do it to the best of their ability.
It is true that some wild plants might need some training to enable them to grow in a more orderly fashion however some wild plants are just best left to do their thing and they too, will produce beautiful results.

Left to do their thing and find their way, needing only a little care and attention when conditions require it, most living things will do just as their will supposes them to.”

That’s why I like gardens.

Clean your room! A book of two halves - a self help book that will change you life forever...or not

2007-01-07T15:06:00.000-08:00

People are messy. The world is messy. Who's gonna clean it up and why should they bother anyway?
This is a book of two halves, and I would like to add some pictures to it so I can turn it in to a little book that you can flip round from back to front.... One side for those that do because they know they have to and of the benefits that doing can bring, and another side for those that quite frankly cant be bothered to do ...and they will happily to tell you why too!

It came about after trying to convince someone that if they sorted out their house then it might sort their head out a little too, make them feel a little happier if you like,because after all ....ones environment is a reflection of ones self, isn't it? and if not, at the very least ones environment cant help but have some influence on ones self purely through its effect on the senses, visually, orally, physically and emotionally thus stimulating ones consciousness.

anyway its a little long in places and could do with an edit but for now here it is in its full copy :
The 10 reasons why you should and shouldn't clean your room

Cleanliness is next to godliness: 10 reasons to clean your room

1 – Be Brave , Better your self

It is a brave person who grips the challenge of a task firmly in hand, and delves in to the darkest most cluttered and untouched corners of ones room.
It is a brave person, full of courage who faces this challenge head on, and who, whilst knowing the unpleasant energy consuming task before them, takes a deep breath and sets to it.

It is a saintly person who does this without complaint.

2- Be strong- never put off until tomorrow that which can be done today

It is hardest to take those first brave steps in to places that have been left untouched for too long. In places such as these there is often much to be done. there are corners filled with clutter with forgotten historys, hidden beneath piles of dust.
The task can seem huge. So Starting is half of the journey. It is often easier for a person faced with this challenge to say to ones self “ well…there’s always tomorrow”

3- One shall reap the rewards and discover new joys from ones toil.
Unearth that which is buried

Upon setting to the challenge of sorting though the collected piles of life’s acquisitions, one will soon discover that although at times it may seem like a fruitless task, there are many rewards to be gained from assessing and sorting that which you’ve picked up along your way though life.
Many of ones priceless jewels and gems stored for safe keeping are rediscovered and enjoyed. Joyous memories and forgotten past’s and path (and pant)s are found and remembered. past talents can be rediscovered and lived once more.

4- Organise your room and give your room focus. (Vision/Perspective)
Only when you have focus can you see clearly

When cleaning out your room one should try to organise the things that are disturbed as one goes about attacking its peaceful clutter.
As one does this, one can often go around in circles trying to place things where one thinks it fits, only to later discover that something else should fit in its place and that it actually belongs somewhere completely different, where one had never even conceived of it belonging to until now.

The more one organises ones room the easier it will become to see where things fit.
One will discover which things have value and what their value is to oneself as one tries to place them.
With focus and clarity one can see that which is important and that which is no longer needed for its purpose has been served.

5- Free ones self ones possessions. Know the value and worth of that which one possesses

when cleaning out ones room one would do well to see what things one has in their possession that they are holding on to , even though it no longer serves a purpose.
One can see that which is worthless from that which has value, that which is useful from that which has not or serves no purpose or could be more useful to somebody else.
Deal with each item accordingly for this too will bring its own rewards.

6- Free from useless clutter, one can enjoy the freedom of space.
When ones room is free from rubbish and junk, once the clutter has been organised with focus and purpose, one is able to use and enjoy the luxury of new found space. This provides one self with a great freedom.

7- To clean ones room is to give one self the opportunity for rebirth and to allow room for new discoveries.

When ones room has space and order, when one has evaluated that which surrounds oneself and let go of that which is no longer needed, when one has rediscovered lost dream and treasures, forgotten pasts and pants, one is able to know what ones needs, desires and pleasures truly are.
One can decide what to do with that which one owns. One can decide what new things one would like to fill their life with.

8- Clean your room or else!....... for an unclean will only attract that which is unclean.

If one chooses not to clean out ones room, that is their choice to make and so be it. However, one should be wary of this choice.
If one chooses not to clean out their room then it will become stagnant and foul. It will grow diseased and may very well cause great sickness.

9- Clean out your room before its to late.
“Do not live in misery for fear of being miserable” -Leonardo Da Vinci

Try to never let the task of cleaning ones room become an impossible challenge or burden.
If a room is left unused or untouched for to long before it is cleaned it will only attract more filth and clutter to it as time goes by. This can make the often mountainous journey, that one needs to uptake, appear to be an imposable and unthinkable one.
Many will choose to accept this state and remain in it rather than do the unthinkable and actually just “clean out ones room!”

This is a sad and miserable existence for any body to live in and can often lead to great unhappiness and misfortune.

10/ Clean Room , Clean Mind, Clean Heart

One should clean out ones room for the simple reason that there is no greater pleasure to be had, than to sit in the peace and quite of a clean space which is ones own.
Now you can choose what to do with it……..

Chaos is good
10 Reasons not to clean ones room

1- Life is short
with the life span of the average human being about 70/80 yrs one may decide that the amount of time that one spends keeping ones room clean is to large of a proportion of their life times expectancy, in which case one may decide to surrender the cleanliness of one’s living space so as to spend more time pursuing the pleasures of life which they seek.

2- empty room, empty mind

surround oneself with clutter as clutter is a muse for ones inspiration. Its all very well obtaining a minimalist environment if one is attempting to achieve an environment for inner thought and peaceful harmony with ones self and there environment , but this will not serve at all for the creative, expressionist exploration of the personality. One needs clutter or “things” to stimulate is minds thought processes. Michael Angelo, Raphael or Monet would of painted rather drab and boring paintings if all they had for inspiration were four white walls.

Cleanliness is sterile and provokes stupor. Beware of the overly clean.

3- Cleanliness is fascism

Hygiene is a bourgeois social construct that lends it self to rightwing of politics, and so by cleaning ones room and adhering to the social conformities of “clean” one is taking part and actively supporting the fascist, controlling overseer of ones own self. BE “unclean” , Be Free

4- Order in Chaos , Chaos in Order

Mess and disorganisation and in fact in themselves perfectly organised and orderly. Everything is as it is meant to be. Destruction breeds Rebirth, The chaos is in Order, There are no mistakes, Nothing is coincidence. It is o.k. to be rubbish, one can still be happy and feel secure in ones self. One can still function and work and live and be. The universe will work weather it is one is tidy or not.
It is not necessary for one to be tidy or clean to ensure that one achieves all that one will from life.

5- Dirt is good

Dirt and rotting matter are very good for ones self. Decomposition leads to new life, this is the cycle life. If one wishes to be clean, one must first get dirty. The important discovery of penicillin which has lead to the greatest cures for ones ails was found only because someone was unclean and didn’t clear away their old food.

6- You want it ? You got it.

In the room of some one who does not clean and is messy often have an abundant supply of everyday consumables or commodities at hand. This means that in the environment of a messy person one can often find to hand just what one needs, and sometimes, even without the searching though collections of stuff that is usually required. A small amount of scouting maybe required but it is worth the effort and less effort than having to acquire that which is desired from the shops or elsewhere. There is great pleasure to be had riffling though the rooms, sheds, garages where people have stored a life time of clutter, in no order other than that of universal chance, and seeing what lies in wait for one to discover. How sterile an experience and how unadventurous would it be if all these items were neatly labelled in an inventory and stored in some order based on chronology or use, or worse ,on market value!

7- Strengthen one’s self

The consumption of and the exposure to dirt and messy environments builds the immune system and helps to makes oneself stronger. A lack of exposure to such things creates fragile and weak people who are unable to deal with any dirt should they come across it. They are often very susceptible to illness and stress.

8 – Make ones space a fortress for ones self

By deliberately creating an environment that is dirty or messy but which suits ones own personal quirks and comforts, one can create a space that is intolerable by other people and therefore securing oneself from any unwanted company or disturbance from people wishing to invade on ones space. People will be unable to remain in such an environment and will therefore be forced , by their own will, to exit, leaving one to enjoy ones space.
Never again will the likes of yoga enthusiasts, new age nonsense practitioners, or uppity middle class bigots try to impose on ones space.

9- Why Bother? Let someone else do it.

It is a simple truth that if one does not clean ones space, it WILL be cleaned for them. Somebody WILL clean ones room if one does not attend to it. It maybe ones mother, or partner or carer, it maybe that ones space becomes so unclean and un tolerable that it is imposing on others and so the appropriate authority’s will deal one room. It WILL, at some point be cleaned for oneself.
WARNING—
However, this may not suit one very much at all and one may find that out of ones hands, ones room is no longer ones own and is no subject to outside forces who now have control over ones space, which is a powerful and influential hold.

10 – Fight the power

Cleaning has always been a tool of the socially constructed male power system to repress women. Cleaning is a semiotic sign of repression and therefore no one should clean their room. Women should not clean their rooms as an active form of feminist protest against male oppression and men should not clean in support of their sisters fight against repression.

No one should clean, one with all should live in squalor until the day comes that one drowns in ones own waste and one dies, so as to be reborn with a knowing of mess and dirt and all things unclean and of their place in the universal order of things , and with universal balance one shall exist neither clean nor dirty but just being perpetually messy and clean, messy and clean just as night follows day and day follows night, just as order is chaos and chaos is order.

Just as there are two sides to every story , there are two sides to everything

Cheeky basted! No more demos

2007-01-07T14:09:00.000-08:00

This photo was taken on a Mayday outing when the anti- capitalism demonstrations and the workers and unions demonstrations where in full swing, prior to the clamp down on such undemocratic activities.

I think the irony of the two camps both holding separate demonstrations against governmental policy, at the same time and in the same place,was lost on most people, but this cheeky basted looks like he's seen a few of these demo's in his day and is calmly waiting it out untill he can clock off.

In this age that we live in when democracy is championed as the highest form of civilisation, for which democratically elected governments are willing to commit men to war to preserve or install democratic order, it is strange to find the very core elements of the democratic structure, such as the freedom to protest, being forcibly denied to its subjects by the very same governments.

No more demonstrations = no more democracy

but then who says we're not all be a bit demo crazy anyway?

2007-01-07T13:14:00.000-08:00

So the idea is that this will provide a forum for me to post photos, comments and opinion and anything else that i feel to.

To start somewhere, and that's often a good place to begin, here are a collection of photos that I have taken recently on a trip to Amsterdam. The medieval, historical and culturally rich city, home to artists like Van Gogh and Van Bastan and Gullit, but known all over the world for its killer skunk.
It was a lovely visit, the details of which i shall not bore you with, however i did stumble upon these fantastic young drummers who where doing their thing in the town center square and delighting the tourists with there energy and sound.
The routine was spectacular, the drumming tight,on point and funky but what really made it was the joy that the guys where having whilst playing. It shows in these photos and their enthusiasm shines through.
