what, did they call his favourite aunty a bitch?) and secondly, that the Security Service 'knew' about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What an absolutely embarrassing pile of bullshit; if he was tortured,

Listen to some of the songs of the Stranglers, or Elvis Costello for example.&lt;br /&gt;But do you ever get the feeling that the bastards are looking at you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a jewish girlfriend; some random guy at work starts talking in obscene detail about jewish girls, it never happened before or since.&lt;br /&gt;I wrote a warning letter to a girl called 'Kate' (the rape-militia has itchy fingers, all the way from New York down to Africa - Rolling Stones ), and the following week one morning driving down a deserted street, a car cut me up, with a bumper-sticker saying 'Kate came first'.&lt;br /&gt;This month a French girl was nice to me, and in the pub we moved onto half an hour later with the group, I hear a group of blokes start telling insulting jokes about the French.&lt;br /&gt;Now some of it could be bad luck; some of it could be coincidence. But not all of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's not possible. You see, I am a dangerous man. I once challenged orthodoxy with my fists, and orthodox thuggery is useful to those who really control modern British society, the society of Atlas Shrugged or the wood-tossing creeps of Rostand's Paris.&lt;br /&gt;Here they do whatever it takes to keep us under control, usually not much, as to them there is the matter of their humanitarian illusions.&lt;br /&gt;But they are ever present, and will keep on working just as long as it takes to reduce us to compliant little slugs; slugs ruled by slags, with smiles bared at us only to emphasise their withdrawal should we fail to be good little boys.&lt;br /&gt;Their stormtroopers are recruited and trained young.

What were they thinking? What are they thinking?&lt;br /&gt;Never mind the creatures in the streets - uniform rebels conforming to the tyranny of loose-woven woolen hats, dreadlocks and nose piercings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No. I mean the creatures inhabiting the conference halls. The so-called politicians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I understand them.&lt;br /&gt;You see, I grew up in the late sixties and seventies, so I remember how it was. These were the glory days, the days when politicians were permitted the illusion that they mattered, when the deluded media greedily sucked up every drop of spume-covered rubbish that these deficients uttered.&lt;br /&gt;When Maggie came along in 1979, they didn't suspect. They thought she was promising a new flavour of the same game, and they rode the delusion to it's end, blaming her for the wake up call that left them naked and empty in front of a laughing populace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since, they have been resentful of us and longing for the previous golden age of crises, an age when the media game of communicating communiques from the terror groups elected to misrepresent us was the only game allowed, and they and their clients could live safe off the land with the fantasy of self-importance.&lt;br /&gt;They longed to bring this all back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now they have. In Obama they have somebody who doesn't realise yet the game he is playing, somebody who is making it to the world stage with every fake fanfare that can be mustered, in the firm belief that he will deliver that harmonious tyranny which will trumpet the end of history and the beginning of a new brass age, where the little crooks can exploit their games to the bitter end and we can all go to hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we are the truth.&lt;br /&gt;And the truth is the first casualty of war, especially a war against humanity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-6247797122116144015?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/6247797122116144015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=6247797122116144015' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/6247797122116144015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/6247797122116144015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-were-they-thinking.html' title='What Were They Thinking?'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-3086956194729510291</id><published>2009-12-08T13:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-08T14:01:38.429-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What Will The Neighbours Think?</title><content type='html'>By which I mean our interplanetary neighbours.&lt;br /&gt;They will visit Earth in 50 years and find nothing but ruins.

Nearly all the people will have marched dutifully to the extermination camps to "save the planet".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There won't be many people left; a few cave dwellers perhaps, more likely no people at all.&lt;br /&gt;What will the visitors conclude?&lt;br /&gt;They will examine the ruins and find that the world of Humans was destroyed by a fraud; it will be destroyed by the mixture of trust and lies, the poison that allows and ultimately creates all holocausts.&lt;br /&gt;They will look at the mid twentieth century and see the monomental effort of moral expression that stopped the Nazis; the dogged determination that saw to it that the Soviet Union also collapsed, and they will conclude that the real perpetrators of these monstrosities were merely toying with the humans.&lt;br /&gt;The humans failed to identify them and their evil accurately enough or often enough, and like the infinitely patient game-players they undoubtedly were, they just swallowed every truth, took every setback in their stride and put an arm around humanity's shoulder and led the dazed, tiring population from one illusion to the next, pausing to reveal themselves and their evil hatred only when some human of stature resisted too well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this stage, they could be seen. But the watchdogs of humanity were too incompetent to bark. Like dogs miaowing, they merely snorted and went back to somnolent staring, allowing the evildoers to manage yet another fait accomplit.&lt;br /&gt;And around 2020, when it was found that there were just too many people, found by 'science', the absurdity of scientific socialism was suddenly standing before humanity, saliva dripping from its jaws, in a ruder health than it had ever been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this time no moral effort; the children had been destroyed in advance and made to believe that the lies were true, or that they were lies that couldn't be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;Not all of us died voluntarily.&lt;br /&gt;That's why there will be plenty of ruins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The age of humanity is over.&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the new Hell.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-3086956194729510291?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/3086956194729510291/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=3086956194729510291' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/3086956194729510291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/3086956194729510291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-will-neighbours-think.html' title='What Will The Neighbours Think?'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-4893493354737331116</id><published>2009-12-06T03:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-06T03:44:13.309-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Private What Now?</title><content type='html'>The 'Private Sector' is a piece of bullshit phraseology used everywhere a mainstream pundit dribbles over a keyboard or microphone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is NO 'private sector'.&lt;br /&gt;There is the economy(the private sector), and there is the rest, the parasites, the people who live without living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any other sector exists by robbery of the 'private sector', which is the entire real economy.&lt;br /&gt;Nothing else produces anything.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-4893493354737331116?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/4893493354737331116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=4893493354737331116' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/4893493354737331116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/4893493354737331116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/12/private-what-now.html' title='Private What Now?'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-9147372893349795342</id><published>2009-12-05T10:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-05T11:00:14.141-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Star Wars 3</title><content type='html'>Star Wars the Return of The Jedi; had me weeping today.

The lie was so big that it beggared belief that anybody could be deliberately trying to deceive on such a large scale.&lt;br /&gt;The technique that liars used in the early part of the twentieth century was to tap into popular delusions and so exploit the things that people &lt;em&gt;wanted&lt;/em&gt;  to believe, especially about themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, any crank who could lay claim to salving the consciences of a large number of people was able to reach a threshold of popularity that would bring him to the attention of those people that still made up what is commonly known as 'society'; furthermore, such people would view the emergence of these characters with awe, coming as they did from nothing on a wave of popular sentiment that all were being told was 'historical' and therefore in keeping with the times and progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, Hitler and Mussolini came to power by degree, until that power was absolute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the lies were repeated for an international audience, the better to lull it into acquiescence and leave the way clear for the weirder indulgences these creatures had in mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, as it happened, despite all the social engineering and moulding that had been going on, there were just enough people of age, such as Winston, who were just good enough at communicating with the citizenry of drones that had been created since the turn of the century, but still had cultural residual intelligence enough to see some truths (when pointed out), so that the monsters were stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cultural peversion and communistic demoralisation continued, however, and society is now comprised of mean, vicious little apparachniks who willl fight to the deaths of their last useful idiots to preserve their Cotswold cottages and comfy retirement plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest of us can go to hell, and indeed anything they can do to send us there quicker is a welcome obsession for the creatures of rule, needing distraction from realisation as they do;&lt;br /&gt;but now, they are dealing with a populace, the bovine stupidity of which is almost embarrassing and certainly endearing to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So do lies need to be big?&lt;br /&gt;Not anymore.&lt;br /&gt;Today, any lie is credible the moment it is uttered.&lt;br /&gt;If a refutation is immediate, the lie will be repeated later on, or obliquely, in order to make it stick.&lt;br /&gt;The lies are then left in the open.&lt;br /&gt;Nobody much will question them, because today's people need to be told what to think. In the world of propaganda the populace has long lost any ability to work things out. They just see or hear some rubbish on the television or radio, and that is what they believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lies won't be challenged. The novelty is when a truth is uttered by way of variety; this causes no more perturbation than the lies, and may even be a truth that people happen to believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the masters wonder at the disillusion and lack of debate, complain about 'apathy' and go on trying to be the voice in the ear-trumpet of a population educated to senility from the age of five.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-79015333946181713?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/79015333946181713/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=79015333946181713' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/79015333946181713'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/79015333946181713'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/11/bigger-they-come.html' title='The Bigger They Come....'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-2913730543261620478</id><published>2009-11-05T11:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-05T12:06:59.063-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Band Aids.</title><content type='html'>Socialism has missed the point entirely.&lt;br /&gt;What socialists have tried to do is create a political, legislated structure which forces certain rationed outcomes for people feckless or unlucky enough to need them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In replacing personal motivation and responsibility with a state steamroller, they have stopped the normal decision-making processes of persuasion and argument and led to instant rejection of any situation in which genuine assistance may be needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was deliberate.&lt;br /&gt;The cry of the Labour socialists in the 60s and 70s was "rights not charity".&lt;br /&gt;This is of course absurd, as the right to a physical product can only be achieved by production; if you don't produce, then such a right has to be granted by a producer (in which case it is only a priviledge) or inflicted on the producer by violence (socialism).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this is not the point that they have missed. This point is that people will go on being stupid, ignorant, malicious fools and treading the best among us into the mud, so long as they are left alone to do so. And socialism has been very careful not to interfere with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If socialism wanted to help humanity, then it would have used the massive publishing and communications empires that it can marshall as a way of pushing the truths that would leave the molluscs no stone to hide under.&lt;br /&gt;If socialists want to help, they should be attacking the evil which banishes the producers to the margins of society, and totally buries them when the fat bastards of the status quo think they have enough physical stuff and food to be getting on with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's an interesting fact, that in North America, you still see many jolly fat people, while here, they are mostly ugly also, defiantly so, with poor clothing sense and styles of their own which seem calculated to emphasise their lack of personality; they are like the methane-producing drones that socialists would have us believe cows are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To liberate life and legalise freedom should be the only possible course open to any 'progressive'. But they aren't socialists. They aren't progressives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They think that they are democratic.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

He was not exactly tall, not exactly broad, but there was about him the air of potential violence, a frame that moved fluidly and not in any way identifiable with any of the usual traits.&lt;br /&gt;In fact it was this that led to trouble – as it always did – whether or not Arthur gave a damn. Which he usually didn’t.&lt;br /&gt;His face was violent only in its calmness, and his eyes roved sardonically from incident to incident with barely a flicker of interest.&lt;br /&gt;He had a scar above his left eye, a small scar that told little of the fury that had caused it.&lt;br /&gt;As he walked down the street, he saw the local neighbourhood kids standing outside one of the doors.&lt;br /&gt;He liked them. They’d asked him his name and made friends with him. On the way back from the Chinese take-away  the other night they’d showered him with their water pistol while screeching with delight. He smiled at the memory, a gentle, true smile.&lt;br /&gt;There was an adult with them.&lt;br /&gt;The adult saw, and hated, and coughed.&lt;br /&gt;“Ey up, mate. Corrupting your kids are you?”&lt;br /&gt;No reply. Just a dirty stare.&lt;br /&gt;“You’re not a nonce or something are you?” Arthur grinned after he made this remark. The other guy was bigger than him. The other guy left the kids alone and stood up straight.&lt;br /&gt;“Cos I like these kids, and I’d hate to see anything happen to them.”&lt;br /&gt;Arthur’s voice had hardened. It sounded flat and deadly.&lt;br /&gt;“Fuck off mate. I’m their uncle.”&lt;br /&gt;“Lucky for you.”&lt;br /&gt;Arthur glowered as he strolled past. The other man stood straight and shrank at the same time. ‘Not in front of the kids’, thought Arthur.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-2082684942608469118?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/2082684942608469118/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=2082684942608469118' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/2082684942608469118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/2082684942608469118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/10/opener.html' title='The Opener'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-1121468559540839794</id><published>2009-10-09T12:12:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T12:12:44.582-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Why Can't We All Just Get Along?</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LO2eh6f5Go0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LO2eh6f5Go0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-1121468559540839794?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/1121468559540839794/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=1121468559540839794' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/1121468559540839794'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/1121468559540839794'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/10/why-cant-we-all-just-get-along.html' title='Why Can&apos;t We All Just Get Along?'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-9008531434845684603</id><published>2009-10-06T10:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-06T12:56:53.384-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Why Can't We All Just Get Along?</title><content type='html'>Ever get the feeling something is going on?

This has been happening for a year now, first they see me, then suddenly they are 'living' in the flat downstairs, and now they are curious about where I go.&lt;br /&gt;They are just kids, but they are going to be bloody injured kids if they don't go away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I kept an eye out on the way home, and I wasn't followed.

The Hawker-Siddeley P1154 in the 1960's, a development of the Harrier which was cancelled by treasonous government, would have been faster 40 years earlier.&lt;br /&gt;Also, the P1154 was a true V/STOL aircraft, like the Harrier, whereas the F35 is some sort of hybrid abortion with a one ton deadweight lifting fan in ONE version, which gives it vertical landing capability only. So if your airfields are stuffed, so is the F35.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make up for the lamentable performance, the marketeers claim that the helmet-mounted sights make point and shoot a thing of the past, and so it will not even need to get on someone's tail to shoot at them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bullshit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I the opposition escapes at Mach 2, the poor little F35 won't be able to get in range.&lt;br /&gt;I don't think it can do Supercruise either( though I'm not sure ), so it won't be able to do a low visibility sneak attack on fast-flying aircraft.&lt;br

Or not. But the simple fact is that is has depended on trillions of dollars-worth of credit, three trillion just since Clinton, and now the USA is now the asylum of millions of inmates who don't make anything, not even money, and who cannot afford their desires and so spend 'invented' money on goods from China; the Chinese build them on the promise of owning their enemies houses, while these people get poorer and poorer while buying more and more.&lt;br /&gt;We are told that this despicably immoral depravity is acceptable because it represents the greatest good for the greatest number.&lt;br /&gt;Nobody says so, but that is the tacit excuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama slides his silken gloves around the mob's throat and leads it to a cage where promises are inscribed

There was some weird monkey-looking thing at the next table.

When I look, it freezes as if it is playing some sort of deluded musical chairs game.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I have my lovely breakfast, and the thing starts making yawning noises, to prove how relaxed it is in face of its own terror.&lt;br /&gt;Then it starts talking to the staff, and it is clear it is a local creature which knows and is known by the workers in the pub.&lt;br /&gt;So there it is. Tell it to fuck off and get thrown out? Or tell it to fuck off in little lipsmacking noises?&lt;br /&gt;What a heap of crap the English situation is.&lt;br /&gt;In America, you might shoot or get shot.&lt;br /&gt;But here you have to endure the victimisation by things which impersonate people, or get wrecked resisting.&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, they try it in the street too, and then you really can wind their little brains up and out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-1917885402074868476?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/1917885402074868476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=1917885402074868476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/1917885402074868476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/1917885402074868476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-to-do.html' title='What To Do?'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-8621509492388271934</id><published>2009-08-20T10:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-20T10:11:34.221-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Filth!</title><content type='html'>The Scottish gobshite authority, on behalf of Gordon(but not provably), has set free the mass murderer who killed hundreds of innocent children.&lt;br /&gt;Give me a gun and I'll show him 'compassion'.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-8621509492388271934?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/8621509492388271934/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=8621509492388271934' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/8621509492388271934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/8621509492388271934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/08/filth.html' title='Filth!'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-171201373536614984</id><published>2009-08-08T06:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-08T06:12:40.042-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Watch And Learn!

It's the stopping train, so it takes 2 hours to cover the 80 miles, but it is still quicker and cheaper than the car. There were many old staitons along the route, and several large junctions which I had no idea existed.&lt;br /&gt;After the single carriageway run to Yeovil came Castle Cary and Westbury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what are the Green Shoots?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the train company section running the line is Arriva Great Western.&lt;br /&gt;Great Western is the company which built the route originally over 150 years ago. This company was destroyed by the socialists in 1947.&lt;br /&gt;But today, individual station masters along this route have taken it upon themselves to recover and recondition old station furniture from storage or dereliction, and in several stations on the way to Bath, you can see 'GWR' benches, brightly polished and painted, as they were only 60 years ago; some of them have the curly GWR logo from Victorian days, others show the Art Deco 'GWR' of the thirties.&lt;br /&gt;As the sisterhood in Dune said, "Never to forgive, never to forget."&lt;br /&gt;The real Great Western Railways is a little nearer to restoration today, thanks to these enthusiastic people.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

What we have now is the gradual inability to hide any longer the rampant, stampeding riot of little boys and girls that have suddenly realised that they are in mummy's bedroom and daddy's study, and they have gone away no-one knows where.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like dogs, they instinctively sniff and choke when they meet a scent they cannot fathom. Usually the scent of a Man.&lt;br /&gt;On a personal level, I see job descriptions, where the title might be 'software engineer', but the job is baffling and unconnected to any technical skills, usually paying much more than any market rate and as near as can be told, demanding social skills and the ability to understand the (public sector employer's) private verbal messages.&lt;br /&gt;There are thousands of jobs like this, the legion of the useless busybodying their way into prosperity and safety and influence and property, all at the increasing expense of the diminishing real work force.&lt;br /&gt;Not that I would apply, but I could not in a thousand years get such a job if I tried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, I walked into a college yesterday for a public lecture. What did I see? On the way up from the car park, a nasty, grey, shabby little old man, probably a lecturer, coughs (from behind of course) with such a fakeness and tone that he actually seems to believe he is expressing ssomething; this is the ultimate reaction to a human being, this supposedly 'unanswerable' critique-by-dint-of-saying-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;Obviously I say, 'my god, look what they're letting into these places'.&lt;br /&gt;When I get to the lecture hall I see a notice board, plastered with communist propaganda posters; this is a history department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have more than a passing suspicion that youngsters are being taught to frame their world views in such terms.&lt;br /&gt;If civilisation is to survive, the 'Gulch' time may be here.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-1347947855408515214?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/1347947855408515214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=1347947855408515214' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/1347947855408515214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/1347947855408515214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/05/plus-ca-change-plus-cest-la-meme-chose.html' title='Plus Ca Change, Plus C&apos;est La Meme Chose'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-5480295542356180730</id><published>2009-05-14T03:11:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-14T03:11:45.651-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Business is slow.</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MjERXrtRwiU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MjERXrtRwiU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14016359-5480295542356180730?l=owlsarentwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/feeds/5480295542356180730/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14016359&amp;postID=5480295542356180730' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/5480295542356180730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14016359/posts/default/5480295542356180730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://owlsarentwise.blogspot.com/2009/05/business-is-slow.html' title='Business is slow.'/><author><name>Sky Captain</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tFTeVSnCxmE/Sejjuh2l4yI/AAAAAAAABKE/J33zxEjbNb0/S220/SkyCaptain.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-2114900182403197512</id><published>2009-05-13T04:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-13T05:07:04.068-07:00</updated><title type='text'>All's Well</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I go down to the town centre pub at lunchtime and have a pint of whatever special they're running.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's strictly no children and today's was Theakstons Best.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The thing is, when you go to this pub you see the usual mix;

that we can confidently expect him to 'invest' £6 billion more in the health service; he doesn't mention anything about ROI(Return On Investment) or even whether we can expect improving mortality rates from this( a &lt;em&gt;presumed Government ROI&lt;/em&gt;), so I guess he's just talking through his arse as usual to give his hinterland of useful idiot followers something to parrot in the imaginary discussions that he supposes these fools to influence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, nobody is giving either airtime or credence to the regiments of fools any longer, so he is beginning to resemble a man whose insanity is driving him to build a brick wall around him with no doors or windows, from the demolished wreckage of the society he inherited, and is now spinning round in smaller and smaller circles of denial like a latter-day Hitler in a bunker of social insulation rather than concrete.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Talking of concrete, I have to wonder what, if any, the effects of this

type='text'>More Tricks on TV.</title><content type='html'>Turn on the TV. Within 30 seconds your tired of it.&lt;br /&gt;So, you start tuning around to try to find something that doesn't bore to offensive, impossible to watch, levels.&lt;br /&gt;You find a list show. Top 100....&lt;br /&gt;Today, it's Top 100 Couples We Love To Hate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, these people they are trying to lynch are actually mostly completely forgotten. But they nevertheless pretend we are interested, and we endure the talking heads and crummy library shots until we reach the stage of actively disliking what we see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But here's the trick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don't hate the TV company, or the programme, because there may be just one couple we remember with distaste, and want to see again, to see where they appear in the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So our hatred of the crap programme is sublimated to hatred of the couples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And lo and behold, we think we've seen something good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we haven't, it isn't, and after one or two such programmes, we return to avoiding them at all costs and switching round again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do they bother? Why is television so chronically flatulent and flabby that it must go on all the time, pumping shit out at all hours? It isn't television entertainment any more. It's a tool of mental illness.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
