Poetry of the Spectacle
'The society whose modernisation has reached the stage of integrated spectacle is characterised by the combined effect of 5 principal factors; incessant technological renewal, integration of state and economy, generalised secrecy, unanswerable lies and eternal present - the spectator is simply supposed to know nothing and deserves nothing. Those who are watching to see what happens next will never actand such must be the spectator's condition .'
- Guy Debord

Just got confirmation from reliable techs involved with Super Bowl that it was all lip-sync!!! moby.to/fn2q3t
M.I.A. couldn't give a 'shit'...
'...don't play the stupid game!'
'...Instead, in the few bars Madonna was kind enough to grant her during the biggest television event of the year, M.I.A.'s message to America was simply, "Fuck you." Well, in M.I.A.'s own words, the little people will never win, but they can fuck shit up. Success might be the best revenge, but apparently, being an asshole is forever.'

Thousands flee Mali amid Tuareg rebellion
More than 15,000 people including Malian military personnel have fled to neighbouring countries since members of the Tuareg ethnic group launched a rebellion against the government last month, aid officials say.
Some civilians were fleeing violent areas, while others feared there could be revenge attacks against those believed to be Tuareg. At least one Tuareg family's home has been attacked near the capital, Bamako.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says 10,000 people had crossed into Niger after fighting in towns across the border, and the humanitarian group is preparing to provide food and shelter. "Some of these people have been taken in by villagers, but the local capacity was very quickly overwhelmed," said Juerg Eglin, head of ICRC delegation for Niger and Mali.
Another 5,000 people have fled to Mauritania, according to an official who works at an international humanitarian organisation based in Mauritania's capital. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorised to provide figures to the media.
The Tuaregs, a nomadic people dispersed across the Sahara desert, have risen up against the central government in Mali several times since the country's independence from France in 1960.
The latest rebellion, launched in January, broke years of relative peace, and is being fuelled by the return of Tuaregs from Libya who had fought in Muammar Gaddafi's army.
In the past two weeks, the Tuareg group has attacked six towns spread over more than 500 miles across Mali's vast north.
A group calling itself the National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad (MNLA) was formed in October and seeks self-determination of the north of Mali. The government has accused the group of joining forces with al-Qaida's North Africa branch, which is active in the region. The MNLA denies the accusation.
Among those fleeing to Niger were military personnel and their families, said Franck Kudzo Kuwonu of the Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the capital, Niamey.
Although there is no evidence that those with northern features are being systematically targeted in Mali on a wide-scale basis, there is a tangible sense of panic among Tuareg and those who feel they might be mistaken for Tuareg. Even people from countries such as Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia have been leaving Mali on such fears.
On Wednesday, Mali's president addressed the nation and urged people not blame Tuareg and others with northern features for the acts of just a few rebels. "Those who attacked certain military bases and towns in the north should not be confused with our Tuareg, Arab, Fulani and Songhai compatriots who live with us," Amadou Toumani Touré said in a speech carried on state television.
The president's message did not stop the protests in the capital and other southern towns such as Segou and Sikasso on Thursday and Friday, and many in the south fear what might happen to them. "When you see so many people leaving, I wonder whether I've made the right decision to say," said one Arab man who has lived in Bamako for many years and spoke on condition of anonymity.

'You can't spin the fact that more men are getting blown up every year'
Since enlisting in the Army in 1985, he said, he had repeatedly seen top commanders falsely dress up a dismal situation. But this time, he would not let it rest. So he consulted with his pastor at McLean Bible Church in Virginia, where he sings in the choir. He watched his favorite movie, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” one more time, drawing inspiration from Jimmy Stewart’s role as the extraordinary ordinary man who takes on a corrupt establishment.
And then, late last month, Colonel Davis, 48, began an unusual one-man campaign of military truth-telling. He wrote two reports, one unclassified and the other classified, summarizing his observations on the candor gap with respect to Afghanistan. He briefed four members of Congress and a dozen staff members, spoke with a reporter for The New York Times, sent his reports to the Defense Department’s inspector general — and only then informed his chain of command that he had done so.
“How many more men must die in support of a mission that is not succeeding?“ Colonel Davis asks in an article summarizing his views titled “Truth, Lies and Afghanistan: How Military Leaders Have Let Us Down.” It was published online Sunday in The Armed Forces Journal, the nation’s oldest independent periodical on military affairs. “No one expects our leaders to always have a successful plan,” he says in the article. “But we do expect — and the men who do the living, fighting and dying deserve — to have our leaders tell us the truth about what’s going on...”

Neil Young says:
'What I like about record companies is that they present and nurture artists. That doesn’t exist on iTunes, it doesn’t exist on Amazon. That’s what a record company does, and that’s why I like my record company. People look at record companies like they’re obsolete, but there’s a lot of soul in there – a lot of people who care about music, and that’s very important.'

The death of Tommy Cooper - 'When I go I want to be on stage I want the audience laughing and everyone happy'
Tommy Cooper was a Welsh-born, British prop comedian and magician, famous for the red fez he always wore, and the persona he crafted of a magician whose tricks always go wrong. Cooper died on April 15, 1984, as he performed live on television for a variety show entitled “Live from her Majesty’s”. During a sketch in which he was to pull numerous objects from a gown, just after his assistant helped him put the gown on, Cooper collapsed and sat against the curtain while the audience and his assistant laughed, thinking it was an impromptu part of his act. He then fell backwards onto his back, creating more laughs. However, as the minutes passed, it was apparent that something had actually gone wrong, and it wasn’t part of his act. Another curtain was closed to hide where he had fallen, and other acts carried on on the front of the stage. People backstage tried to resuscitate him but couldn’t. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Westminster hospital, from a heart attack. He was 63 years old.
I remember watching this at my Nan's house in Liverpool and we were pissing ourselves sure, like everyone else that it was part of the act...
