Obsessives cannot be allowed to scare us
Recently, 43 year old eco-terrorist James J Lee was shot dead in order to help release the three hostages he had taken within the headquarters of the Discovery Channel in Maryland.
He'd wandered into the Discovery Channel as part of his obsession with his version of saving the planet, for which he believed he needed to strap explosives to his body and take hostages.
His take on life was simple. He hated the human race and had extreme issues with people having what he called 'filthy human children'. He hated immigrants. He hated the Discovery Channel for not broadcasting programming that would tell his version of reality to the world.
In lots of ways his radical obsession is no different to those indoctrinated enough to blow themselves up in suicide bombings, or those who invade countries as part of their religious obsession.
In all cases the obsession is based on hate.
We have seen many people with mental illnesses becoming obsessed with Middle Eastern religions like Christianity, but there are frighteningly new obsessions replacing these in this modern world. We have watched the religion of 'Climate Change' grow amongst those who are easily manipulated into the faith of the 'warmists', and we've seen supposed 'pro-life' protesters deciding that the best way to show how much they love life is to murder doctors. We've watched as 'protesters' cruelly dig up the corpses of young children's dead grandmothers in order to protest about what they have decided is animal cruelty.
The obsessive knows no sense of right beyond their own obsession. Their pre-occupation with it requires they close their minds to alternative ideas or thoughts. They will only accept what they themselves have cast in stone as part of their mental illness. They believe they can never be wrong and no logical discussion or debate, nor counter evidence will get through to them. In order to pursue their obsession they know no limit. Nobody is safe.
Usually their illness will make them focus blame onto one particular individual - this can be an organisation or a race or a religion - but usually it is made personal and so they chose an individual to hound and, in extreme circumstances, kill.
Families, children, pets, homes, or even co-workers of their victim also become legitimate targets in their eyes, such is the power of obsession.
In a very mild version I have watched obsession and the associated mental illness grow within followers of radio stations ('anoraks'), especially Radio Caroline. None of the obsessives have killed anybody (yet) or dug up their dead grandmother, but the building blocks of their obsession are identical to those of the likes of James J Lee.
In the case of radio obsession there is a chicken and egg problem about which came first. Did the obsession with radio then manifest into a mental illness, or did a mental illness manifest an obsession with radio? I guess the question isn't reserved to radio obsession, but relates to all obsessions.
Some obsessions, like religious ones, are of course not of the individual's own making. These are usually installed by the parents or later by the preachers and re-enforcers from the religious organisation whose job it is to ensure the flock remain constantly re-hypnotised to obsess to the bidding of those who are manipulating them.
And ultimately of course, those who are obsessed with money and power are the winners once their little army of obsessives has done the 'dirty work' for them.
In that sense, someone somewhere will benefit from the death of James J Lee.

The man who should be Prime Minister
It's Flashback Friday. Every Friday we bring back a golden oldie article from yesteryear. A chance for you to re-read it and see if it is still relevant today!
It is fashionable amongst the ex-Britpop and new media generation to be right-on New Labour supporters. All that's vulgar about this selfish binge drinking coke snorting middle-'new money'-class who are now in their late 30s early 40s was epitomised in New Labour when it swept to power in 1997. The 'spin' lunatics had taken over the asylum, and so started the reign of lies and deceit that nobody objected to because at least it wasn't the Conservatives any more. They could push through legislation and policies far more 'right-wing' than the Tories ever had because the New Labour generation were too busy sniffing to smell a rat. They could lie far worse lies than the Tories had done, but it was alright, they weren't the Tories so nobody cared. Not a soul blinked as Margaret Thatcher was called to advise and discuss policies with Tony Blair.
Meanwhile, whilst New Labour's Blair went on religious crusades into other countries on false premises that nobody really worried about, the Tories entered their wilderness decade. Their support depleted and having grown old and tired, they fumbled around weakly missing every opportunity to show the country what was really going on. A succession of leaders with confused and grey ideas failed to generate more than a tiny whisper into the public's ear. A new image and new mouthpiece was needed. But, that's where the wheels ground to a halt. Until now.
At last, there is one single person who will lead a youthful rebellion against the Labour liars and bring a more honest government to the new generation.
For some people he was discovered in one of the most obscure places, although he has actively been around for very many years, but not in the public eye or capturing their imagination the way he already is right now.
Only a few have sussed who he is so far, and a young lady called Chloe finally put in writing what those of us who observe these things had all been thinking. In fact, she hired a plane and put it in writing on a huge banner that was flown all over London.
The man she supported, indeed, the man I support and want as a leader of the Conservative Party is everything that Labour spin doctors will tell you the Tories aren't. He is black and he is homosexual. We need him as our Prime Minister.
He is Derek Laud and he is currently a housemate on the Channel 4 reality TV show Big Brother. On the show he has continually proven himself capable of taking a logical and fair stand on all issues, and despite being nearly twice the age of some of the other more unbalanced contestants, has shown he has honesty and integrity, strength, compassion and understanding of the issues that affect them. Despite a passion for hunting with hounds and the traditions associated with the old Tory party membership, he is completely grounded with an appreciation of modern youth culture, its music and its passions. He is the perfect mix of old and new values, and tomorrow's generation believe in the people they see on TV.
Derek Laud is not completely perfect in every way, nobody is, but he is the perfect candidate for a future leader of this country. Political history is peppered with missed opportunities, and it will be extremely distressing if this opportunity is missed. I have already signed Chloe's petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/drk4pm/petition.html and I would urge you to do so as well.
Once Derek is out of the Big Brother house he needs to be fast-tracked into the political lime-light, and into a position where he can speak to the people. He needs to challenge the complacency in the Conservative party, and lead them to victory and so save our country from the decade of Labour horror, lies and spin extending for any longer than the next Election.
Vote for Derek Laud!

Climate Change religion summary
Although this piece I'm linking to and asking you to read was written over 3 years ago, it still holds good today. It is probably one of the best summaries I've read about the whole Climate Change religion, and is penned by John Brignell. It was written before the people trying to scare us rebranded their fear stories as "Climate Change" from the old religion of "Global Warming", so it refers to the Global Warming religion throughout, but, since the planet is no longer actually warming, the 'fear' is nowadays known as "Climate Change".
I think they chose "Climate Change" because it's harder to scientifically prove there is no more "Climate Change" than usual, and the man-made "Global Warming" theory has been mainly disproved scientifically.
Have a read, http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/religion.htm and let me know what you think.
To amplify his point, John keeps a living list of links to mainstream media 'fear' articles containing anything they want you to believe "Global Warming / Climate Change" is to blame for, even the articles that completely contradict each other.
The list is hilarious, and now has over 800 links on it and growing. The point, of course, being that the more you feed the people the lie, the more they are likely to start to believe it. And this is how they want to control our minds and control what we do and how we act. Keeping a population in fear keeps them compliant. Are you complaint and have you been taken-in by the whole Global Warming / Climate Change 'fear'?
Only when you are able to distance yourself from it and see the bigger picture do you start to see the truth. So, for a start, have a regular check out of what's blamed on Global Warming / Climate Change. Once you see how it contradicts itself, you realise there's a con going on.

My Supercar
Getting this bloody anti-gravity car thing I invented to keep still and air-park properly is a bloody nightmare. It sort of drifts a bit whilst I'm away. Plus kids come along and push it into the bushes, damn them. But, hey I'm getting there, and working on an anchor. As for its top speed of 200 kilometres per hour, I'm working on that too. It's a tough life being an inventor, but I think I'm going to be famous with this technology.

Derren Brown
![]() |
| I know something you don't know |
You may have heard of this guy. He famously did a live TV show where he pointed a loaded gun at his head and fired it in Russian Roulette style, having correctly predicted into which chamber his willing assistant had placed the live round. More recently there was a TV show where he took a bunch of impressionable students into an old deserted hospital and appeared to engage in a seance with somebody that had killed themself there. It was all a trick of course, but the pre-show publicity caused outrage and panic.
So, finally he produced a TV show called Messiah. Really, this was just another application of his 'tricks' but in a twisted setting. He challenged basic core religious beliefs, and belief systems. He went to America where he is unknown, and he posed as a number of different people with very specific 'gifts'. In front of religious loonies he fairly instantly 'converted' an audience of 'unbelievers' (who had answered an advert in a newspaper) into full-on Christians. He convinced some UFO abductees that his own (pretend) abduction experience had left him able to read their minds and he was able to successfully bring very accurate messages from 'the other side' during a session pretending he was a spiritualist medium.
What was interesting, and indeed, the thrust of the point he was making, was that at no point did anybody ask if it was a trick. They just blindly accepted his 'gifts' as being real. In other words, he really was a highly efficient evangelising Christian, he really was able to communicate with the 'other side', he really was able to read minds.
What it does make the sceptical like myself realise is just how damn easy it all is for these nutters to take control of people and make them believe their funny beliefs, whether that be a belief in a god, or a belief in messages from beyond the grave.
In his more conventional TV shows, Derren has done some pretty bizarre things. Most memorably, after saying seemingly random phrases through the PA of a shopping centre for 20 minutes he then gave a command and the crowds instantly lifted their right arms but didn't know why. Or there was the one where he'd somehow make people forget which station they were getting off from their train journey home. Or ringing random phone boxes and making the person answering just slowly fall asleep. He'd appear to do these things without having met the people before or doing any form of preparation work. Unless I'm missing something, what he disturbingly shows is how easy it actually is to manipulate people to do as you want them to do, without them realising it. If he's doing it as a 'sideshow', what are others doing to our heads to make us think things or buy things?
Overall, there are more questions than answers, and the brilliance of Derren Brown is that somehow he makes me feel extremely uneasy. I know that's what he wants me to feel, but I don't know if I just feel uneasy, or if he's 'controlled' me to feel uneasy. And that's making me feel even more uneasy.
How music radio is dead and buried
I recently spent some time looking at a service available to subscribers to Talk Talk TV called V:MX.
Talk Talk TV is like Virgin TV, except it comes down the BT telephone line. Of course, it might no longer be 'BT' by name since you can be billed by Talk Talk or any number of other 'service providers' for what actually still remains a 'BT' line. Anyway. By using broadband capacity, the Talk Talk Plus box plugs into into any standard router and provides TV programmes directly to the TV, just as Sky Plus or indeed Virgin boxes do.



Exclusive to Talk Talk are a set of music video channels generically called V:MX. In truth there is just a single server streaming on demand any one of over 8,000 music videos. The 'secret' is to playlist them under music genres and so as far as the general public are concerned there are 6 'different' actual music channels, V:MX Alt, V:MX The Pit, V:MX Urban, V:MX Pop, V:MX Dance or V:MX Retro.
There's also a 'main' V:MX channel from which a comprehensive search through the music-video library can be made regardless of the genre.
The 'themed' channels also have 'sub-themes'. For example, switching to V:MX Dance you might want to then pick 'Good Times', and that will start a playlist within a playlist with all the 'Dance' tracks being, erm, 'Good Times' type tracks.
So, the viewer can, should they want to, just leave the 'channel' of their choice on to allow the server to select and supply the videos just as they would expect from any normal one-way only MTV style channel.
But here's the most important part: If they get bored with a particular song they can just press a key on their TV remote and move on to the next one. Likewise, if they really like a song, they can 'rewind' and play it all over again again. They can also tag songs and create their own playlists from what they've just heard and liked.
In other words, unlike when watching a typical one-way music TV channel over which there is no control, with V:MX they have identical control to any iPod or mp3 player.
This, to me, is the future. People don't want to have to sit through things they don't want to hear at that moment. Likewise, when they hear something that's good, they want to be able to play it again, Sam.
Music radio cannot and will never be able to do this, and so this is why it will continue to die and has less and less of a place in society. And why should it? There was a time when radio was really the only efficient way to 'stream' music to an eager listener. Those days have passed and so a radio station with nothing much more than sequenced music playing from a server that the end user has no control over, really has no place.
This is why radio has to re-invent itself and be the provider of 'stuff' that isn't provided by other superior means. Radio needs to get away from playing back-to-back songs desperately trying emulate an iPod. Radio can never be an iPod, so why is it trying to be? Sure, if radio wants to, it can supply music, but just seguing it like an iPod isn't going to work is it? Radio is one-way only, so it can't be an iPod. It has to do something else alongside the music to compete with the iPod.
With the inconvenience of listeners not being able to 'control' radio like an iPod can be controlled, fresh thoughts have to be applied to music radio's future or it really is going to be completely dead and buried within a generation.

Big Brother is the new crack cocaine
So, here we are in a Britain with kids wandering aimlessly around in packs.These bored, restless and feral latchkey kids are going out and mugging, nicking cars, and generally terrorising people. It doesn’t matter where they live in the UK. It’s not a town thing. It’s not a country thing. It’s everywhere. Why?
Soap operas and Reality TV.
Where once upon a time children felt loved and the centre of attention, and life revolved around the family and them, it now revolves around Corrie and Big Brother. Parents have no time for their kids any more. Instead, they are hooked up to the crack cocaine-like bliss that they get from Eastenders and I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, saying “Shhh” whenever the child dares speak. Even when a conversation is allowed it is either during the commercials or with one eye permanently distracted by the live feed where ‘real’ people may or may not be about to have sex or beat each other up.
This neglect and child abuse is so prevalent that storylines in the soaps will even reflect it. However, rather than get the message and look at their own lives and question why they are falling apart and why their kids are causing so much grief, the concern is concentrated on who’s going to find out who’s the real father of a soap character’s baby. They are far too busy living the lives of the housemates to notice their own household is in ruins, as they shout at their own questioning child who dares to want to speak to and get comfort and love from his mother whilst Trisha or Kyle is on.
On those rare occasions when they are out of range of their TVs, they’ll be thinking not about their family, but about the pretend families they live to watch every evening. They’ll even discuss them at great length with their friends and neighbours, and buy magazines dedicated to them.
When faced with problems Christians often ask “What would Jesus do?” In the average UK household it’s “What would Grant Mitchell do?”
The reason they have no idea what to do is because their brains have been completely destroyed by their addiction, and they only know how to look on in ore as storylines unfold before them, with problem and then solution all decided by the writers and played out by the actors, with no need for thinking on the part of the viewer. They have no idea how to make decisions on their own. They have no idea how to deal with the real life problems surrounding them. They have no idea that there are real life problems surrounding them.

They have no idea how to make decisions on their own. They have no idea how to deal with the real life problems surrounding them. They have no idea that there are real life problems surrounding them.
The addiction used to be a lot less when there were less soaps and reality TV shows. But now there are soaps 7 days a week, and there’s live streaming of reality TV.
Now they can sit in their own filth and dysfunctional household watching strangers in a TV-set based dysfunctional household. We look on in horror when the addiction causing child neglect is drugs or alcohol related, but for some reason we just accept this new addiction as if it’s ok.
Big Brother ran for nearly four months over the summer. Pity the poor kids who were on holiday and really would have liked to do something with mum or dad, but had to spend all that time just forgotten about and amusing themselves whilst they tried but failed to compete with the live streaming that’s far more important than they are.True, some of the kids gave up and just sat there trying the experience as they probably do with heroin addicted or alcoholic parents, letting it dull their brains to the sadness of the neglect they feel. Soon they knew exactly who to boo on eviction night rather than cry for their own sad life. But others were out in the streets causing problems and difficulties to those not already at home watching celebrities having sex or a plastic duck tend to farm animals.
Would the addicts all still be watching if all that happened on Hollyoaks was everybody just sat watching the live streaming from Big Brother? Sadly, I suspect they would.

Druggie Big Brother
It's Flashback Friday. Every Friday we bring back a golden oldie article from yesteryear. A chance for you to re-read it and see if it is still relevant today!
It was interesting that the druggie won Celebrity Big Brother. This guy Bez, who is so addicted to 'weed' that he was having extreme problems holding himself back from hurting other contestants or smashing the place up, as he was going through the withdrawal, captured the public vote. Maybe that says more about them than it does him.
He'd been so worried about being separated from his drugs that he'd discussed secretly smuggling tabs of 'E' into the house by putting them in a plastic bag up his bottom. One assumes he didn't. He'd even brought with him some St John's Wort in the hope that by taking it he would be able to ease the withdrawal, but that obviously failed as it wasn't long before he was making menacing faces at the camera and getting quite frighteningly aggressive for no real reason. I'm sure I've seen that aggression and desperation on the faces of people who have mugged me before, I assume to pay to feed their habit.
I've never understood why people give beggars their spare change so that they can go and spend it on drink or drugs, yet the public decided that Bez should win the £40K prize plus his £40K appearance fee, and you just have to wonder how high you can get on that! There'll be a potential mountain of pills to take, powders to snort, and plants to smoke. Well done the British public.
Meanwhile, back at the game, it was interesting how the public always do this thing of getting rid of any real characters and personalities. They leave behind the people who are either bland or twisted in some sad way that isn't funny. You end up with no real characters and so nothing to watch.
The greatest star from Celebrity Big Brother was racing pundit John McCririck with his completely free thinking independent and rude attitude. He was excellent, and is excellent. His fight with Big Brother over the supplying of Diet Coke was pure comedy, and his outspoken attitudes when everybody else was being so politically correct made him the real winner. This man is a comedy genius and deserves to front Diet Coke ads for the rest of his life at an extremely fat fee.
As for the rest, well with McCririck gone, Kenzie should have won. He probably added so much more to the house than any of the others, and actually came in with an open mind. He had to do a lot of adapting and learning in order to mix with the rest, so made the biggest effort. He was quick witted and the sequences whilst dressed as an egg were divine comedy moments. He came second, but was robbed.
He was outvoted by the druggie supporters who probably voted for Bez because they remember their hazy smashed days of the late 80s and early 90s when they were always high, feeling some form of empathy for the junkie, whilst having little or no appreciation of what Kenzie actually brought to the house. Shame on them.
It was interesting that the druggie won Celebrity Big Brother. This guy Bez, who is so addicted to 'weed' that he was having extreme problems holding himself back from hurting other contestants or smashing the place up, as he was going through the withdrawal, captured the public vote. Maybe that says more about them than it does him.
He'd been so worried about being separated from his drugs that he'd discussed secretly smuggling tabs of 'E' into the house by putting them in a plastic bag up his bottom. One assumes he didn't. He'd even brought with him some St John's Wort in the hope that by taking it he would be able to ease the withdrawal, but that obviously failed as it wasn't long before he was making menacing faces at the camera and getting quite frighteningly aggressive for no real reason. I'm sure I've seen that aggression and desperation on the faces of people who have mugged me before, I assume to pay to feed their habit.
I've never understood why people give beggars their spare change so that they can go and spend it on drink or drugs, yet the public decided that Bez should win the £40K prize plus his £40K appearance fee, and you just have to wonder how high you can get on that! There'll be a potential mountain of pills to take, powders to snort, and plants to smoke. Well done the British public.
Meanwhile, back at the game, it was interesting how the public always do this thing of getting rid of any real characters and personalities. They leave behind the people who are either bland or twisted in some sad way that isn't funny. You end up with no real characters and so nothing to watch.
The greatest star from Celebrity Big Brother was racing pundit John McCririck with his completely free thinking independent and rude attitude. He was excellent, and is excellent. His fight with Big Brother over the supplying of Diet Coke was pure comedy, and his outspoken attitudes when everybody else was being so politically correct made him the real winner. This man is a comedy genius and deserves to front Diet Coke ads for the rest of his life at an extremely fat fee.
As for the rest, well with McCririck gone, Kenzie should have won. He probably added so much more to the house than any of the others, and actually came in with an open mind. He had to do a lot of adapting and learning in order to mix with the rest, so made the biggest effort. He was quick witted and the sequences whilst dressed as an egg were divine comedy moments. He came second, but was robbed.
