I’ll say two things: death of accountability and Joseph Moshe. Thanks to J for sending this in.

Possibly my favourite true story of all time.

“The Penultimate Truth about Philip K. Dick”

In 2007 I produced this documentary about the mystical experiences of sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick.

Philip K. Dick is considered by many to be one the world’s greatest science fiction writers ever; as a sufferer from mental illness himself he had the ability to turn his hallucinations about the universe into an extraordinary writing career.
During his lifetime, Dick produced an astonishing amount of prize winning novels and short stories, which were translated into more than 25 languages. Three of his literary works were transformed into blockbuster movies: Blade Runner, Minority Report and Total Recall.
Several years before his death, Philip started having mystical experiences that affected his everyday life. As a result, he started to wonder if what he had imagined for his stories was real and if life was just an illusion or the creation of each person’s subjectivity.
This in-depth program explores Philip K. Dick`s world, a universe full of mysteries and intrigues.

‘VALIS’ is a fascinating book to read. I also recommend ‘a scanner darkly’. I hope to read more of his work in the near future.

If you can’t see the subtitles, hover over the icon in the bottom right hand corner and click ‘cc’ (closed captions).

Hmm. Strange. This wasn’t in the London Times weekend supplement, ay?

Something about the way this creature moves, whatever it is, sets off that chilling “run, now” voice in the back of my head. I suspect it’s an ape or more likely a bear.Whatever it is, it’s fast and strong and furry. The speed and the way it approaches the cameraman makes my hair stand on end. Perhaps this is either a rabid bear or a hunting trip gone wrong? Whoever the cameraman is or was, he got f###ing owned by this thing.

Be patient, this clip contains a little back story and is best footage of the actual “gable” film I could find. Go to the you tube page and you can watch it in HQ.

The best overall presentation of the footage is probably here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8z2ne_the-gable-film_tech

Yes, they are coffins. But most likely this is land leased by this company: www.vantageproducts.com

What I’ve come to expect from just about anyone or anything in this new era of lawlessness.

There is something very, very wrong with these decisions; the overt arrogance with which this power is being abused is incredibly worrying. How much longer can you keep topping up a bucket that is already full of shit?

This is nothing less, if you don’t know already, than a corporate coup of the modern free world. Welcome to post-modernity.
