Jam's Garden

The malevolent authoritarianism in our world is very often hard to define literally; it lies under the surface and inside of our lives. However sometimes an event takes place that illuminates our predicament like a bolt of lightning. Jam Imani Rad is a retired teacher and today is a keen gardener. He lives in a block of flats in Preston, Lancashire owned by a housing association called Gateway. Because it's a block of flats obviously the residents have no gardens; some flats have a small balcony and nothing else. Like a lot of social housing the block could be seen by many as a depressing and unsightly place surrounded by a bare grass and concrete courtyard, so Jam decided to turn the courtyard into a garden. He grew plants and erected statues. He built gazeboes, trellises and pathways until the front of the block of flats looked like an enchanted forest. He also covered the walls with artwork. He spent five thousand pounds and it took him ten years. Jam's neighbours love their unique community garden. It brightens up their lives. However, the housing association denied him permission. They said that the garden breached health and safety regulations and that the statues might "cause offence" to residents and passers-by, even though nobody complained about them. Jam was ordered to destroy the garden and return the block's grounds to their original state. He refused. It wasn't that he didn't want to, he couldn't. He would have endured removing the statues, but as a passionate gardener, he couldn't kill the plants. He had grown them and nurtured them from seeds. Jam's story spread around the world and people everywhere wrote to the media to pledge their support for Jam's garden; a Change.org petition was started. After a long court battle the council issued an order and workmen have moved in to destroy the garden. Part of the court order was that protesting was banned. Jam has even been threatened with prison. Jam's plight has been covered by my friend and fellow radio host Lisa Philips on Cry Freedom Radio, see: https://www.mixcloud.com/lisashunkahawanagi/the-cry-freedom-show-live-wed-20th-july-2016-with-jam-imani-rad-emlyn-mousley-mark-cocking/listeners/.

There is a twisted logic to what has happened here. Jam's garden was harmless, beautiful and it inspired and enriched people's lives... therefore it had to go. As Andy Thomas has said, everything is designed to break our spirit. As a result anything that lifts our spirit is a danger to the authorities. The government have no problem putting up frightening and disturbing artwork that messes with our heads, for example see: http://spreadingtheword-now.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/not-for-arts-sake.html. If only the workmen who the council ordered to demolish Jam's garden had refused! I sometimes wonder if rather than completely stopping the New World Order, it should be allowed in one small location, maybe a town in the middle of a desert or a remote and uninhabited island. Then the people running the council and courts in Preston and the Gateway housing association can go and live there. It's what they deserve and clearly they would enjoy it. Jam has a fansite, see: http://www.gatewaytenants.co.uk/. I recommend taking as many photographs of the garden as you can. I know it's not the same as the real thing, but I have endeavoured to do this myself in similar situations; see background links below.

Kubrick's Daughter on the Moon Landings

The forty-seventh anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing has brought the possibility of it being faked back into the public consciousness. A recent development in the run-up to the anniversary is the reignition of the idea that the hoaxed moon landing footage had been directed by Stanley Kubrick. I talk about this in detail in these background links.

See here for important background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/kubrick-moon-hoax-confession.html.

And: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/moonwalkers.html.

This time the daughter of the famous film director has spoken out. Vivian Kubrick has written an open letter on the subject:

I actually think she makes some good points here. Why would Stanley Kubrick agree to such a dastardly and monumental lie against American citizens and the world? He was indeed renowned for his anti-establishment views, and he expresses them in many of his films. He was also good friends with the Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky; this was during the Cold War when the Soviet regime in Russia was at its prime. If you were the perpetrator of the conspiracy to fake the moon landings would you recruit somebody who you knew had a social conscience and was in contact with a Soviet celebrity? What's more there was also the possibility of him blowing the whistle very publicly. Somebody that famous with all that information would be a liability. His absence would also be noticed by the rest of the Hollywood community while he was busy strutting around a studio at Area 51 yelling "ACTION!" No, far better to bring in somebody less-well known who would be ignored if he spoke out. What's more this nobody would make an equally small ripple if he "fell under a bus" one day. Together with the other points I raise in the background links, above and below, I doubt very much that Stanley Kubrick was the director of the fake moon landings. The most interesting thing about Vivian Kubrick's letter is not what she says, but what she doesn't say. She defends her later father robustly, but she does not comment on the general question of whether or not the moon landings were real. She just tells us her dad didn't do them.

Max Spiers Death Update

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/max-spiers-dies.html.

The details of how Max Spiers died are slowly emerging. The primary source of the information is the witness to his death, Monika Duval whom Max had been staying with since he appeared at the conference she was involved with in Poland two months ago. According to her, Max collapsed on Saturday evening with "black fluid" issuing from his body via the mouth, nose and rectum. As yet no post-mortem has been performed, the coroner has not made a statement nor have the police investigated. Miles Johnston thinks we should be suspicious and he's explained why in an emergency interview with Kerry Cassidy, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih8qKY7orPg. In the background article above I say nothing about this. I felt it was important to wait for the information became available. Now, based on what we've heard, I agree with Miles. We do have reason to be concerned that this terrible tragedy may not be accidental. There is a very predictable response whenever this kind of tragedy occurs: "What you're doing is disrespectful!" This is the 9/11 official story-believers' constant refrain and I expect it from the skeptics. However, I'm disappointed to hear some people who would otherwise be very conspiratorially-aware repeating this clichéd epithet. Somebody wrote to me with a link to Miles' and Kerry's video and said: "Just look at the shameful self-advertizing being done here! You must accept that this is bad behaviour, Ben! They pretend it's an analysis, but it's just a quest for viewing figures and thumbs up! This bastard and this bitch are sucking on Max Spiers' bones for their own self-importance!" Here's another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy3JYKg4tiE. This is the very same moral equation I bring up in my 9/11 poem Show Some Respect! See: http://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/show-some-respect.html. It is based on two assumptions. 1. There is no evidence of foul play in Max Spiers' death. 2. Miles and Kerry know that and are therefore making it up. As a lawyer once said in a courtroom drama film... make assumptions at your own risk! People who make these accusations against Miles and Kerry are making assumptions both about the facts of the case and the personal motives of those commentating on it. Where do they obtain the informed knowledge to do so? If further information on this case emerges that tells a different story, that Max died of natural causes and nobody was to blame, I shall say so; I promise. Even the mainstream media has picked up on this, with one of their typically tongue-in-cheek ridicule-fests. The very term "conspiracy fans" indicates that they're not interested in objectivity, see: http://metro.co.uk/2016/07/19/conspiracy-fans-think-someone-or-something-is-killing-off-the-worlds-top-ufo-researchers-6017178/.

Britain renews Trident

Parliament has voted to keep the United Kingdom's independent nuclear deterrent. The bill was passed overwhelmingly, 472 to 117, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36830923. I have been covering this story for some time, see below.

See here for essential background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/replacing-trident.html.

And: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/trident-submariner-speaks-out.html.

And: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/trident-is-just-for-show.html.

And: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/new-trident-contracts.html.

The vote was very partisan indeed with every single Tory MP backing nuclear weapons. The Greens, SNP and LibDems all unanimously opposed the motion. The only split party was Labour 140 for; 47 against, including the party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Over thirty-one billion pounds will now be raised to fund the renewal of the submarine-based nuclear deterrent system Trident; that's enough money to construct fifteen fully-equipped NHS general hospitals. The four aging Royal Navy Vanguard-class submarines will be replaced by a new fleet, codenamed: "Successor". The government has gone for the full works option and rejected cheaper more limited alternatives. Four vessels will be constructed which will be able to provide "CASD- Continuous At-Sea Deterrent". There will also be a new arsenal of missiles and all the support services; the construction of some of which are already underway, as I describe in the bottom of the background links above. I'm very disappointed by this decision. As I explain in detail in the background links, I'm opposed to the nuclear deterrent because it is dangerous, unnecessary, ineffective and overly-expensive.

Max Spiers Dies

I'm sorry to have to report that Max Spiers has died. Max was a Bases Project witness and he appeared in Channel 4's The Great UFO Conspiracy TV documentary. He died in Warsaw, Poland on Saturday evening. Miles Johnston has made a statement which includes the small amount of information currently available about the nature his passing, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaRzhmNOWy0. His death comes just two days after the passing of Noel Howard, a member of the Berkshire and Oxfordshire Seeking Solutions group that I help to organize. Deepest condolences to Max's wife and fellow witness Sarah, and also to his family and friends. RIP Max.
