Gone In An Instant

I just realized that my ‘allan at banditobooks’ emails are no longer being forwarded to my main account, which means that any emails sent via this blog in the last couple weeks did not get through. I just spent an hour at the other Inbox going over the many comments that needed moderation. So if you commented and didn’t see it,…

Now We Wait

(Note: sorry about the formatting glitches) I spent several hours yesterday editing the Ike speech to see if I could reproduce the effect we are looking at: I wanted to find out which version was the ‘base’, the one Ike actually ‘did’. (The scare quotes are because at this point we don’t really know anything about what’s going on.) I found…

Mandela Addendum

It’s interesting that this doesn’t seem like much of an issue to many of you. I get it, though. I’ve been watching and editing films for a decade, many of them documentaries that include that portion of Ike’s speech. It really is possible that I’ve heard it/seen it a hundred times. When it came on the other day with the…

A Brand New Mandela Effect (?)

I was going to try to get cute with the title, but then I was thinking how important this is, I think, and decided against it. See, I might be losing my mind. A couple days ago I happened to view a clip from Eisenhower’s famous Farewell Address from 1961, the well-known bit about the ‘Military Industrial Complex,’ and which I have…

The Funk, Part One

But goddamn I am in a funk. There, I did it. I started a post. Okay, now I just got to keep on going…. (A half hour later) I used to wake up early because I couldn’t wait to get to the Macbook and play those keys like a Steinway. Could not wait. One word followed the next like water going downhill.…

What Started as a Book Review…

“If the U.S. government is capable of killing innocent American citizens in cold blood, sometimes by convoluted schemes, what aren’t they capable of?’…. Tom O’Neill, from CHAOS; Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties Opening Addendum: This essay is geared to my blog readers, especially long-timers, plus others who already have a notion of how the world really works (HTWRW) in terms…

Another Book Review

Sorry for the extended silence but I’m into something pretty deeply. I should be done in a week or less but if you want to get started you can review ‘Miles Mathis’s’ limited hangout essay on the Manson/Tate ‘event.’ My essay will in essence be another of my book review/exposés, this one on the new book on the event, CHAOS; Charles…

Back to the Moon?

My last post might’ve been an error in judgement, as it turns out. I spent the last few days in confusion, not knowing where to focus my attention, and your various comments were not a help. I’d read one, nodding and mmmming, make a note for the ‘Big Board’ (Strangelove), then get distracted by the next comment… Addendum: Since last…
