The analogue world is fighting back at digital reality - you will find the shell casings on their cutting room floors.

“THIS VIDEO IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE”

 

Tom Dennen

 

The ‘magic’ of the Internet is that it allows us to see the world in a much more holistic way – we can look at problems in context with data from every other related problem in real time and make assessments that are locked into yet forged by other emerging, automatically multi-referenced and catalogued data.

 

That may sound complicated, but that was the funny thing that did not happen to Hillary Clinton on her way to the White House: She stumbled into the real world and didn’t even notice it as her dance toward the ultimate executive job disappeared in a dust cloud of digital de-resolution.

 

Look back at CBS’s take on that part of her stump speech where she describes herself (and her daughter!) ‘ducking sniper bullets’ in a Bosnian war zone:

The digital world is instantaneous, so it’s much harder to lie in here, something the analogue people like Hillary seem very slow to catch: almost instantly there were copies of the actual event she was describing on YouTube and millions of people saw them – even Obama’s people, who are looking at a new Secretary of State in Hillary.

 

There were no sniper bullets!

 

The reality was all neat and tidy, like a tacky home movie, the Marines escorting her from the aircraft, a shot of her hugging a little girl, but with her voice over this tranquil and idyllic scene talking about sniper bullets!

 

Caught in the act!

 

I’m not sure why, but that one woke me up entirely. That and the fact that she didn’t stop the stump speech even after she must have been told that footage was on YouTube and that it had also quickly morphed into an hilarious piece of comedy which I found after hours of searching, and posted the two sites left that still showed it although even these may have been interfered with by now.

(Maybe she knew the analogue people would make the misspoken comment send up above  ‘no longer available’ – I’m still trying to find a clip, please help if you can as it makes a point worth making. Otherwise, wait a while on the two above and press ‘replay’ if and when it appears. (On my machine it played a little later in the day.)

 

Or maybe she just didn’t give a damn and kept on with the speech because it was such well-rehearsed and compleate one - the wry grin, the hesitant ‘recollections’ of the danger she went through for us, the brave chuckle: Been There, Done That – “I will do well at the helm of the ship of state,” she seemed to be saying, lying in the middle bits, promising us a glorious end.

 

So I’m learning to recognize garbage when I get to see it, but a lot of people are just not prepared to let go of a whole lifetime of analogue timelines, to let go of believing people like Hillary when they want us to believe what they say because, “That’s What Happened.”

 

Dropping Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy leads us toward reality but drops us before that into the on-the-ground mortgage and credit-bound reality only escapist fiction relieves.

 

But after quite a significant shift in attitude – from ‘conspiracy theory’ to the generally accepted laws of physic – I’ve made the leap and accept the conclusions emerging from today’s most significant dialogue, the WTC collapse.

 

I can see clearly now that the arguments, which claim the collapse of the Twin Towers was caused by aircraft hitting them because “that’s what happened” and WTC 7 just ‘fell down’, are a complete slap in the face of my entire life, let alone a reasonable education.

 

These ‘truths’ are exactly the opposite of ‘self-evident’, both in Bosnia and in New York.

  And an insult to everything I’ve learned about history and philosophy, culture and language, sense and sensibility, mathematics and all the sciences, not to mention the exacting disciplines of building construction and a host of others, particularly communication:

 

There were no sniper bullets!

 

The fast-disappearing analogue world of smoke and mirrors, the world in which all you have to do to make something true is to just say it’s so, “That’s What Happened” is collapsing into its own footprint at about the same speed as Galileo’s feather in a vacuum.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L55jImEhNZ0,

 

I'm glad The laws of physics are still available in the real world!

The feather's dropping (the penny's dropping?) a little slower in our minds, perhaps, because of all the mental inertia and the cloudy weight of faux history, but If you apply analogue arguments to the bailout 'solution' to the current financial ‘meltdown’, watch the lips saying ‘sniper bullets, sniper bullets’, take a close look at the economic and political events leading up to, say, the Great Depression and the Russian economic collapse, and you’ll see just how fast that feather falls.

 

I can access almost any bit of information I need (if it’s still ‘available’) when putting together an argument in the digital world. But the really tough part of this new, in-your-face reality is that you can’t tell people you were shot at when a statement like that will instantly come back and bite you.


However:

 

You are old Father William,

And yet you persist:

 

You ask us to ignore the laws of physics while the original WTC footage keeps rolling on, over and over and over, happily obeying the laws of physics until everyone who’s seen it is beginning to understand that, yes, anything that falls at ‘free fall’ speed cannot  have anything underneath it to slow it down.

 

Q.E.D. people, but the folks running the analogue world still believe that what they tell us is what they think we still believe to be the truth.

 

“That’s what happened!”

 

Analogue thinking has to be ‘classified’ and kept under wraps like the data on Pearl Harbor, so people don’t interfere with the interventions that are what government is all about (‘this video is no longer available” – but it’s too late, Analogues, the jury saw it),

 

So what I’m saying here is that I believe perceptual analogue reality is almost over with and Digital reality is taking its place probably because it is so very now and interconnected: The footage is always right here, right now and you can’t miss it unless you either consciously choose to – or it is ‘no longer available’.

 

Analogue time is linear – analogue events have a separate beginning, middle and end; so analogue thinking is predictable and therefore manipulative, it likes to work on the glories of the end, while lying about the beginning and middle bits and hopes that we go along with the ‘wonderful’ promises the end will bring, unaware of the intertwined interconnectiveness holding up the world we are discovering daily: the real one.

 

When I get online I imagine that I’m this totally impotent general observing a war where all military intelligence is available to me instantly in real time. I say 'Impotent' because, like all 'military' intelligence, some of it 'is no longer available.'

 

NO LONGER? SO IT WAS THERE!

 

I pretend that this is a huge war for hearts and minds of the whole planet and I’m trying to see just how much is going on all at the same time by looking at how it got to be going on over the analogue timelines that got them here and what happened (or what was said to have happened or is no longer available) on those timelines.

I understand that I can’t do anything but watch and try to comprehend how and sometimes why everything arrived at today’s battlefields at the same time.

 But one thing I can do is look back along the analogue timelines to the points where the factories started working as fast as they could making the shoes, socks, shirts, rifles, trucks, planes and tanks, canned food,  and medicines, toothbrushes and everything else that goes into the most elegant construction of instant obsolescence ever conceived.

 

And the most profitable.

 

But I can’t seem to do anything because … ‘this video is no longer available …’

 

(References: Mark Twain, ‘The War Prayer’, Major General Smedley D. Butler, USMC Retired, ‘War is a Racket’ … just follow the links still ‘available’ …)
