Can Greece Shrink the Submarine Bubble Without Burst?

05-01-2015 22:34

The European currency is a case of a congenital error that can only be survived with early awareness and correction. Every other culture, even the North Americans with their obscene adoration of money, has different words for cash and people. Only the Euros do not. So while everyone else sees money as some kind of tool in their hands, Europeans are seduced by language to perceive money as an equivalent of themselves, not as a dead thing with function and purpose but as a living entity with will and soul. Yet the European languages do not put up a grammatical wall between living and dead things, nor between liveable and unliveable ones. In this sense the British separate currency is European as well, because it is cherished as a matter of identity rather than an exchange technique. It would have to be advised that, when change is being made to that, it should directly go to separate words for currency name and currency unit such as grammatically appropriate for material things instead of remaining in the half-way position of different words but indifferent grammar. Money is a material thing such as mud and not a living entity such as Earth. “The Euro” is a speculation currency with no anchor in natural treasures set to be passed on to these who do inherit the outcome of it. It breathes like an exotic lilly under the cheese-cup of Unitedstates military dominance, which is another shared circumstance with its British counterpart. But with the revolutionary cause of anti-austerity accordingly accomplished, the Greek awakening seems to have gained momentum to paradoxically save the “European” currency from itself by squeezing it down to healthy dimensions before it collapses into nothingness.

UG#700 - Is There No Other Way the World May Live? (Audiocollage of Dissidents)

31-12-2014 12:32

Audio
To mark our 700th show, a 2 hour audiocollage of new material which questions 'official' reality. Beginning with fairly broadly understood deceptions such as the War On Terror, Democracy and Economics we look at their philosophical underpinning - the notion that humans live in a dead, machine like, essentially meaningless universe which spontaneously arose out of nothing. What if life and communication are more widely spread than we believe, if human consciousness is just one part of Gaia, a universal consciousness which transcends human attempts to pin it down, a life force more accessible to our hearts than our heads?

UG#699 - A Country with A Military or A Military with A Country?

31-12-2014 12:29

Audio
This show contrasts the perspectives of two whistleblowers on the inside the US War Machine. One, Scott Bennett, from whom we heard last time, blew the whistle in 2014 and offers fresh first hand testimony from the machine designed to serve up an unremitting diet of war and fear, and moving USA rapidly towards a full-on totalitarian police state. The other, Sibel Edmonds, who blew the whistle on false flag terror in the immediate wake of 9-11, shares her acute awareness of the operations of the deep state and explains why she has just published a fictionized account of her discoveries as a whistleblower.

UKIP RACIST TROLLS - A HUMANE APPROACH @exposing_ukip @slatfascists @edlnews

31-12-2014 03:03

Since the marvelled conception of the world wide web at Oxford Uni by Timothy Berners-Lee, artificial intelligence has sought to emulate the real world intelligence through the creation of the first chatrooms onwards, where real life racist cowards who wouldn't say boo to the proverbial goose when confronted with a six-foot-six non-white male, can rant and rave all morning, day and night long in a fixated fervour of racism, homophobia and sexism until his heart's content. Finally, the tap room bigot propping up the bar of his BNP boozer could open his arms and say "hello world!" while cheaply lambasting Muslims, black people, asylum seekers, lesbian and gay people, migrant workers and immigrants.

UKIP's WHITE SUPREMACISM - @exposing_ukip @hopenothate @edlnews @leejasper

27-12-2014 16:57


UKIP's most popular and prolific tweeter David Jones, who is regularly retweeted by all the UKIP hierarchy including their two MPS and their MEPs, has twelve and a half thousand followers which makes him the most popular member of UKIP on social media. His twitter account is peppered with calls for Islam to be banned and tweets calling for Muslims to be expelled from Britain, but Muslims are not Mr Jones's only pet (race) hate.

He also loathes black people with a vengeance also, and wishes Britain was wholly white (read on).

Rebellions In North America

Around the world, the class struggle, the struggle against state is a struggle against the policial state and his terror: the killing of Rémy Fraisse in France, the attack and torture against Nikos Romanos in Greece, and the recent/preventive actions against anarchists in Catalonia, and the attack on Westfield demonstrators in London. Until today's accounting, there are incidents of riots and social protests in at least 21 countries since the beginning of November.

Volcanology on sabotage and accuracy

18-12-2014 10:58

In Germany, there have been some attacks on infrastructure: mobility, transport and distribution logistics and communication systems. We are fans of such acts of infrastructure sabotage ourselves and we would like to open a discussion, not least because there is some critique regarding accuracy of such actions and explaining them to the public. We want to start with an example: In the summer of 2014, refugees in Berlin squatted a roof of a hotel in order to put pressure on German authorities which refused to give them a right to stay. „Autonomous groups“ attacked successfully the Berlin public transport in that area, stating their support for the refugees, see  https://linksunten.indymedia.org/en/node/121525 (in english language).

Glenn Pells, Nazi UKIPer @exposing_ukip @slatfascists @edlnews @tellmama‏

14-12-2014 10:43

Officially (on paper at least) UKIP still maintain they refuse to allow members of fascist groups into their party, but a mere cursory glance at UKIPers on Facebook and Twitter reveals hundreds of party publicists who trumpet not just UKIP but a whole host of far right organisations across the board from the EDL to the FN. So much so, that the common retort /excuse of UKIP's senior members is that EDLers, Britain Firsters and BNPers are "pretending to be UKIP to discredit the party", even though many of the aforementioned neo-Nazi UKIPers are regularly liked and retweeted by top ranking UKIP officials, giving them the social media seal of approval.
