Halloween Horror Request!!

Fellow CC2day Blogger the CapeCodCrusader requested a Halloween post from your Gothic host and I'm thrilled to comply!  I've been working since late spring on an illustrated master outline tying together all my published comicstrip serials and unpublished fragments dating back to the mid60s...  this cheerful scene is based on recently-discovered notes from a lunch I had 23yrs ago in the Columbia U. neighborhood with WBAI-FM radio host of The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade, and GNOSIS Magazine contributor Peter Lamborn Wilson... Mister Wilson went on to conceptualize the Temporary Autonomous Zone and thus became the father of the Rave Scene and the chief influence on the Burning Man Festival...  In this update of the scenario hip-hop superheroines The Bomb and Tone Arm, working undercover doing sound at Club Narthex, aka the recently desanctified Saint-Athanasius-In-The Mews, investigating 'Vitamin Z'~a new anentheogenic drug sweeping the Club Scene~look on in cosmic dread as Skippy the Acolyte discovers his boss~ the Rev. Montague Knell~ slumped across the downstairs bar on a Sunday morning!  Skippy gets on the horn with Episcopalian Mystic and Psychic Detective Richard Falcombe who's living-under-a-curse 4 blocks to the west at the Amalgamated Theological Seminary.  Falcombe pulls on his broadbrimmed black Borsalino and the Occult Thrills commence!!The Death of Knell

How CIA is Murdoch?

http://aconstantineblacklist.blogspot.com/2009/07/cias-rupert-murdoch-ted-shackley.html  Really?  The Emperor of Oceania, the High Priest of Maverick-ness was 'brought along' by Ted"The Blond Ghost", "the Proconsul of Saigon"Shackley? 

Remember Gloria Steinem admitting that the CIA jumpstarted her seemingly-countercultural career? http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=a1M9EAly2hog&refer=home

Reading the lurid pulpfiction account of the Big Bust of cartel"La Familia" on the frontpage of the CCTimes at Buckies Biscotti this evening, it hit me... how far do you get in the American mediasphere without playing ball with the Company?  How do you get American citizenship that quickly?  Why are all media-consolidation laws rewritten at your request? 

"During the buildup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, all 175 Murdoch-owned newspapers worldwide editorialized in favor of the war..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Murdoch  Fascinating!

Are Murdoch's NewsCorp outlets saying anything that the CIA wouldn't be happy with?  Who's the Dog and Who's the Tail in this scenario? 

The tale of Dick Cheney's motel-room televisions being preset to Fox comes to mind, of course... http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0322061cheney1.html

Aren't 'mavericks' supposed to be the young cattle that overcome their herding instinct... ? Aren't we being efficiently herded no matter how 'outlaw' we try to be?

Be a mustachioed desperado while you still can... switch your ad budget to Cape Cod Today Dot Com... Protest the Rising Tide of Conformity!

Dominionism's Smith&Wesson-Oil Comes to Community Access!

C3TV mid-cape community access cable, beginning today if I'm correct, just began airing the for-profit televangelism of Dominionist Terry Shuttlesworth.  He mixes Prosperity Preaching with End-Times Imperialism like nobody's Bidness... what's the point in getting rich right before the Rapture?  Maybe 'The Secret' is that you CAN take it with you!

 Shuttlesworth is a close crony of Sid Roth, a televangelist on Channel 9 WYDN The Daystar Network~~ why is Shuttlesworth on Public Access when Daystar is available?  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5578254614466798011#

MurdochWatch Part 17~ Obama Says It's War...

Walter's been urging me to try embedding a YouTube vid in one of my rants so we'll give it a shot... plus, something clicked when I read this page on Salon this morning... http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2009/10/12/glenn_beck/index2.html  One of my loyal trolls has been for a couple of years been apoplectic about my artistic 'pretensions' and 'fraudery' in um, actually supporting myself as an illustrator for almost 40 years... I've never gotten what his beef is... "Entartete Kunst" and Tom Wolfe's ''From Bauhaus to Our House'' seem to come into it... My stuff's good ol' cheezy pop-culture... Glenn Beck started out as a Morning Zoo Jock... would he find my illustrations dangerously progressive?  A validating notion!  Back to the headline meanwhile... the recently-elected President of the United States has now declared war on the fella who owns our local daily The Cape Cod Times!  So... Support our Troops!  Cancel your subscription to the CCT and switch your advertising budget to CapeCodTodayDotCom!!!

Haaaaaaaaaaar 'Mateys'!!

Cape Cod Times publisher Rupert Murdoch and lovely third wife Deng Wendi were captured by our camera Sunday as their swanky new Hongqi V12, a Mainland update of the classic Rolls Royce Phantom, cruised down Commercial Street... as one of the floats in the festivities surrounding Leather Mates Weekend.  It is Good to be Master and Commander... 'Top' of the World!   ...And  my favorite Hongqi!!

MurdochWatch: Britain's 'Smartest' Supermarket-Chain Pulls Ads from Fox!

The Glenn Beck boycott goes international! 

Cape Cod Times - owner Rupert Murdoch is Australian, but he learned his tabloid shtick on London's Fleet Street... and now Waitrose Supermarkets of Britain no longer find Fox 'cool'...

Waitrose dumps Fox News in protest
over remarks about Barack Obama

His last-minute Olympic sprint to Chicago may have come to nothing, the Afghan quagmire may be bubbling away and Sarah Palin may be topping the bestseller list, but Barack Obama can at least take comfort from the fact that Britain's most upmarket supermarket chain is on his side.

Waitrose, which prides itself more on its "quality food, honestly priced" than staring down rightwing attack dogs, has become the latest firm to pull its ads from Fox News after presenter Glenn Beck's remarks about the US president...

Your fingertips~and karma!!~ will be far cleaner if you get your Cape Cod news from...  AND DO YOUR ADVERTISING in... CapeCodToday Dot Com!  Beat Media Consolidation- support the Alternative!

Consider Yourself Carded!

Playing  around with my new and spectacularly-cheap HP Deskjet F4400 which I got on sale for 69 bucks at Staples Orleans Monday.  Don't call me 'cause I'm usually napping during bidness hours, but don't say I never gave you nuthin'.

The Boopcard!

Today in Oceanian Shenanigans!!

Cape Cod Times owner Rupert Murdoch's imperial chess-game follows an inscrutable longterm strategy this week as FoxNews openly solicits a Legal Fund for http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=1411  Hannah Giles who portrayed the 'ho' in this summer's nationwide series of illegally-videotaped ACORN stings... right~ make Fox viewers 'pay for the play'!  Bloody Brilliant!   Today we hear that Rupe's UK SUN http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/benedict-brogan/6248447/The-sun-has-finally-set-on-New-Labours-love-affair-with-the-media.html  has officially withdrawn support from Gordon Brown's Labor Party, returning to its Reagan-era backing for the Conservatives.  Maggie Thatcher always used to say, "There is no Alternative" and that's true now... 

With Republicans in decline and Democrats firmly Neocon, there's no Alternative here either... All Hail Oceania!  Gotta love Big Brother Rupert....  where's my Victory Chocolate bar?  Gotta get the taste of Freedom out of my mouth...

Fox25 Boston Runs Anti-Spanking Story?!

All thru DOLLHOUSE's season premiere, y'know that sexy, violent Joss Whedon/Eliza Dushku show about mind-control of sci-fi indentured servants, our 'local' FoxNews affiliate was running teasers about the correlation between spanking and children's IQs... so I sat glued to my set and weirdly Murdoch's minions touted the work of New Hampshire U.-based Murray A. Straus, who spoke at a conference this afternoon in San Diego... http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=105943  (DOLLHOUSE is set in Los Angeles)...  unlike Focus On The Family's James Dobson http://cafephilos.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/james-dobsons-intriguingviews-on-beating-dogs-and-spanking-children/  Straus is AGAINST spanking http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Beating-the-Devil-out-of-Them/Murray-A-Straus/e/9780029317303  Is there documented correlation between childhood spanking and adult sadomasochism?   "In February, Straus published research linking being spanked in childhood with an adult preference for sadomasochistic sex"... http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/living-well-usn/2008/06/12/a-good-parents-dilemma-is-spanking-bad.html

Isn't Murdoch's whole message about encouraging sadomasochism to maintain Oceania's chain-of-command pecking-order?  Punishing and Jack Bauer-ing terrorists and evildoers?  What's a few IQ points compared to encouraging the proliferation of fashionconscious dominatrices?  Did someone not check upstairs before running this?  No that NEVER happens at Fox... something else is going on...
