Israeli Terrorism



If it wasn't so awful and degenerate, the imposition of Israel on the world is an extraordinary story. It already had the power to control global politics before WWII but it waited patiently till after so that a cover story of the allies winning could be established.


Power never exposes itself. Not real power which controls puppets and sycophants, chancers and traitors.


This is not going to end well for Zionism but first we should tackle the traitors at home like Rishi Sunak, Joe Biden and and most pseud-leaders in the worlds for deluding themselves that they are in control.


That's an error beginning to hit home.


If anyone has any information contra to this post let me know. Otherwise let's begin the decapitations.

Lord of the Dance





I first heard this rendition of Lord of the Dance 11 weeks ago during the musical intermission of a podcast. I don't think I've heard it for three or four decades, and it celebrates an unanswered question I've long held that is absent in all three of the Abrahamic faiths. 

The Torah, Bible and Quran are empty on human warmth, such as our God given and divine ability to laugh, embrace, sing, dance, hug, write, draw and play musical instruments.

It's took me 10 weeks to track down. I tried to find it from memory by jumping around YouTube versions, but nothing was quite hitting the spot. It's the bass singer that makes it memorable.

Eventually I found the recording by trawling through the archives, and then played it to my phone to get the details. It's The Salisbury Cathedral Choir.

Along the way I came across a name stealers version on Radio 3. Have a listen if you can to Aaron Copeland 


It's the same right? I did a bit of digging and the melody was originally written by J Bracketts and called "Simple Gifts". It's a Shaker song written and composed in 1848, generally attributed to Elder Joseph Brackett from Alfred Shaker Village.

However, if you go to Aaron Copeland's website, he takes the credit for the work, and is awarded musical prizes and everything, yet makes no mention of the writer of the music. Look at him. An avuncular chap like him nicking someone's work and grafting the Shaker theme into the ballet he premiered it with.


Now then, do I conflate Zionists with the Sons and Daughters of Shem?

Absolutely not. What do you think I am. A pedestrian and odious racist?

One of my favourite past times is speaking another language.

Dangerous Data

Jason Oke of Leo Burnett Toronto pretty much demolishes the idea that people tell the objective truth during quantitative questionnaires in a post today. It blows up the myth of veracity by demonstrating one of the most flaccid of urban legends. Any study which suggests that men are more promiscuous than women flops miserably by failing to acknowledge two really important factors. Firstly it takes two to tango and secondly many men exaggerate their sexual activity. Or maybe the figures have been 'inflated' by other elements? There's a time and a place for quantitative questionnaires and so in the interests of trying to make them workable I always say quick and dirty is a good rule of thumb.

I make no excuses for making a post with the most puns on this occasion.
