There's so much corruption at the very top.
| Time Magazine wrote: | Who's Who in the U.K. Phone-Hacking Scandal
Brief bios of the major players in the scandal that has shocked the world
•Rupert Murdoch
CEO, News Corp.
The 80-year-old Australian-American is the chief executive officer of News Corp., which owned, via News International, the embattled and now defunct tabloid the News of the World. Rupert Murdoch has personally taken charge of the media giant's response to the phone-hacking scandal. In addition to appearing before the British Parliament on July 19, 2011, to answer questions about the controversy, he shuttered the 168-year-old News of the World and, in light of growing opposition to his plans, pulled out of his bid to acquire full ownership of satellite broadcaster BSkyB.
•James Murdoch
Chairman, News International
James Murdoch, one of the tycoon's sons, heads News International, which manages the company's stable of British newspapers. He has emphasized that the firm is fully cooperating with the police investigations and that he was unaware of the alleged phone hacking at the News of the World, which he described as "shocking and hugely regrettable."
•Rebekah Brooks
Former chief executive, News International; former editor, the News of the World
Despite her denials of any knowledge of the alleged events, it was on Rebekah Brooks' watch as editor of the News of the World that the voice mail from murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's cell phone was allegedly intercepted and tampered with (an incident that gave Dowler's family false hope that she may have still been alive). After mounting pressure, Brooks resigned on July 15, 2011, and was arrested two days later on phone-hacking and corruption allegations (she was later released on bail).
•Andy Coulson
Former editor, the News of the World
In 2007 Andy Coulson resigned as editor of the News of the World following the conviction of the paper's former royal editor, Clive Goodman, and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire on phone-hacking charges. That same year, David Cameron, then leader of the Conservative Party, appointed Coulson as the party's director of communications — a job Coulson continued to perform after Cameron became Prime Minister in 2010. Coulson quit his position at the start of 2011, claiming that the ongoing hacking scandal was too distracting. He was arrested in July 2011 by officers investigating voice-mail interceptions and illegal payments to police. He was later released on bail.
•David Cameron
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
The Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader has come under fire for his close ties to Murdoch's media empire. David Cameron hired former News of the World editor Andy Coulson as the party's communications director after Coulson left the paper following the first wave of phone-hacking revelations in 2007. Cameron was criticized for inviting Coulson to Chequers, the Prime Minister's country residence, in March 2011 — two months after the hacking scandal prompted Coulson to resign from his government post. Cameron has maintained relationships with other high-profile News Corp. executives and attended a now infamous dinner with James Murdoch at then News International executive Rebekah Brooks' home over Christmas 2010.
•Les Hinton
Former chief executive, Dow Jones
Les Hinton, once head of Murdoch-owned newspaper the Wall Street Journal and its news service, Dow Jones, presided over News International, News Corp.'s British-newspaper division, from 1997 to 2007 — when the worst-known instances of phone hacking occurred. On July 15, 2011, Hinton resigned his post at the Wall Street Journal just hours after Rebekah Brooks, his successor at News International, stood down. The British-born Hinton, 67, began working for Murdoch at age 15 and was one of the media mogul's closest advisers.
•Sean Hoare
Reporter, the News of the World
Hoare was the first News of the World journalist to publicly claim that former boss Andy Coulson knew of and encouraged phone hacking. The veteran show-business correspondent, described by colleagues as "an old-fashioned Fleet Street character," first blew the whistle on the News of the World in September 2010 as part of an investigation by the New York Times. Hoare's revelations helped reignite the scandal that ultimately forced Coulson from his post as spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron. Hoare, who was in his mid-40s, was found dead at his home in the London suburb of Watford on July 18, 2011. Police said the death was "unexplained" but "not thought to be suspicious."
•Sir Paul Stephenson
Former commissioner, Metropolitan Police
Britain's top cop resigned on July 17, 2011, over mounting speculation about his links to Neil Wallis, former deputy editor of the News of the World. Police probing the phone-hacking scandal arrested Wallis on July 14, and it emerged that Stephenson had hired Wallis as a part-time p.r. consultant, paying him more than £1,000 ($1,600) per day. Stephenson used his resignation speech to turn on David Cameron, suggesting that the Prime Minister risked being "compromised" by his close relationship with Andy Coulson, the tabloid's former editor. Unlike Coulson, whom Cameron employed as his communications chief, Wallis did not resign from the News of the World following outside pressure and was not associated with the 2006 phone-hacking investigation.
•Hugh Grant
Actor; hacking victim turned campaigner
In April 2011, Hugh Grant secretly recorded a conversation with a former News of the World journalist who boasted about an extensive culture of phone hacking at News International and claimed that editors had tapped into Grant's phone, too. Grant published his account of the encounter in the New Statesman, a British newsmagazine, and has since become the most outspoken member of Hacked Off, a group that represents high-profile victims of hacking and campaigns for greater press regulation. Now a fixture on British news shows, Grant pushed for a judge-led inquiry into the hacking scandal and on July 14, 2011, filed a lawsuit against the Metropolitan Police to disclose documents it seized in 2006.
•Lord Justice Levenson
Chairman of the phone-hacking inquiry
As part of the public inquiry into the News of the World scandal, Lord Justice Levenson has the authority to call media editors, proprietors and politicians to give evidence under oath. The terms of reference call on him to examine the "culture, practices and ethics of the press," including their relationship with police and the contacts between national newspapers and politicians. Levenson chairs the Sentencing Council, which draws guidelines for courts, and was the lead prosecutor in the case of Rose West — Britain's most notorious female serial killer.
•James Weatherup
Former Assistant News Editor, News of the World
Appointed by Andy Coulson, Weatherup served as assistant news editor at News of the World from 2004 until 2006, the period during which phone hacking is known to have taken place. In 2006 he returned to a senior reporting position, and was replaced on the news desk by his friend Ian Edmondson. Colleagues later described the two as extremely close and "thick as thieves." On April 14, nine days after authorities detained and questioned Edmonson and Neville Thurlbeck, police arrested 55-year old Weatherup. His most recent front-page story, published last September, described secretly filmed footage of former world boxing champion Ricky Hatton snorting cocaine
•Neil Wallis
Former News of the World Deputy Editor
Known as "The Wolfman" on Fleet Street, Wallis served under editor Andy Coulson and succeeded him in 2007 when the phone hacking scandal first broke. Wallis left the newspaper in 2009 to work for a PR agency. On July 14 — the day Wallis was arrested on suspicion of engaging in phone hacking while at News of the World — the Metropolitan Police Authority announced that it had employed him as a PR consultant as recently as September 2010. This revelation ultimately forced the resignation of senior Met officers Sir Paul Stephenson and John Yates.
•John Yates
Assistant Commissioner, Metropolitan Police
Yates, one of the highest ranking members of London's police force, resigned July 18 in the face of mounting questions regarding his handling of the police's investigation into the phone hacking scandal. Yates quit after learning that he would be suspended pending investigation of his links to former News of the World editor Neil Wallis, who was arrested in July on suspicion of phone hacking. It's alleged that Yates failed to adequately vet Wallis before the Met hired him as a PR consultant and that he helped Wallis' daughter secure a job at Scotland Yard. Yates also twice declined to reopen a phone hacking inquiry, once while Wallis was in the Met's employ in 2009. He later described this decision as "pretty crap." Prior to the controversy, "Yates of the Yard," as he was known to colleagues, was considered a likely candidate for commissioner.
•Clive Goodman
Former News of the World Royal Editor
One of the first casualties of the phone-hacking scandal, Clive Goodman — who covered the royal family for the News of the World — was jailed for four months in 2007 after confessing to unlawfully intercepting hundreds of telephone voicemail messages intended for three staffers at Buckingham Palace. Royal officials had complained to police about possible voicemail hacking after Prince William became suspicious over a November 2005 story in the tabloid about a knee injury he'd suffered but had told few people about. In July 2011, Goodman was rearrested on suspicion of corruption and was released on bail.
•Glenn Mulcaire
Private Investigator
One of the first figures to serve jail time in the phone hacking scandal, Mulcaire admitted in 2007 to unlawfully intercepting voicemail messages that had been left for three royal aides (Mulcaire was working with Goodman and on an annual contract for the News of the World). The private investigator also hacked the phones of a host of public figures, including model Elle Macpherson, actor Steve Coogan and soccer player Ryan Giggs. But the most shocking accusations against the private investigator didn't emerge until July 2011, when it was alleged that he had hacked into murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's cell phone. He is also suspected of obtaining the phone numbers of relatives of service personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
•Colin Myler
Former Editor, News of the World
A veteran tabloid journalist who previously worked at The Sun and the Daily Mail, Colin Myler was the final editor of the News of the World and led the paper from Andy Coulson's resignation in 2007 until its closing in July 2011. While Myler came to the paper after the most egregious known instances of hacking took place, he has not been able to avoid the scandal entirely. In 2009, Myler told a Parliamentary committee that only one News of the World reporter, Clive Goodman, had hacked phones, although subsequent inquiries indicate more were involved. He also convinced James Murdoch to authorize a payment of almost $1.6 million to hacking victim Gordon Taylor in 2008
•Milly Dowler
Murder Victim and Hacking Victim
In March 2002, 13-year-old Amanda "Milly" Dowler was abducted while walking home from school in Surrey, England and subsequently murdered. During the search for Dowler's whereabouts Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator working for the News of the World, allegedly hacked into her voicemail — deleting some of the messages and giving the Dowler family hope that she was still alive and checking her phone. After The Guardian published details of the Dowler hacking in early July 2011, public outrage helped prompt News Corp.'s decision to shutter the News of the World, as well as Prime Minister David Cameron's call for an independent investigation into the phone hacking scandal.
•Ed Miliband
Member of Parliament and Labour Party leader
Miliband took over leadership of Britain's opposition Labour party in fall 2010 and got off to a fairly mediocre start. But if anyone can be said to have emerged from the phone-hacking scandal looking better than he did before, it's probably him. The brother of former Foreign Secretary David Miliband, he's vigorously pursued the main actors in the phone hacking scandal, including the Murdoch family, Rebekah Brooks and his political rival, Prime Minister David Cameron.
•Ian Edmondson
Former Assistant News Editor, News of the World
Edmondson was suspended by the News of the World just before Christmas 2010 after the Guardian newspaper obtained documents that alleged he had asked reporters to hack into phones belonging to actress Sienna Miller. Several weeks later, News International submitted several e-mails written by Edmondson to the authorities and Scotland Yard formally reopened its investigation into phone hacking. On April 5 police arrested the 42-year-old journalist "on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications," part of the force's Operation Weeting, which is examining whether there are grounds for bringing further prosecutions in the phone-hacking scandal. Edmondson was released on bail and denies any wrongdoing.
•Neville Thurlbeck
Former Chief Reporter, News of the World
Thurlbeck's credits at the tabloid include a 2004 story that alleged David Beckham was having an affair and a 2008 article which described Formula One's then chief Max Mosley "as a secret sadomasochist sex pervert" (Mosley won record damages from the paper in a subsequent privacy case). Documents seized from Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator employed by the paper, implicated 50-year old Thurlbeck in the phone hacking scandal; he was arrested April 5, the same day as News of the World associate news editor Ian Edmondson. Thurlbeck denies any involvement in the scandal.
•Terenia Taras
Freelance Journalist
The fourth journalist to be detained, Taras, 39, was arrested in her home on the morning of June 23. Police released her seven hours later without charge. Taras, the ex-girlfriend of former News of the World assistant editor Greg Miskiw, contributed to 36 stories for the tabloid over a six year period, and also wrote for other tabloids including the Daily Mail and the Sunday Mirror. As part of her bail conditions, she must return to a police station near her home in West Yorkshire in mid-October, and could face further questions.
•Sienna Miller
Actress and Hacking Victim
The British actress received an unwanted star turn in the scandal after the News of the World hacked several of her phones. Miller formally settled with the newspaper in June 2011 for $160,000 plus damages and costs and News Corp apologized for the "harassment and distress" it had caused.
•The Windsors
Britain's Royal Family
Undoubtedly, Prince William would much rather look back on 2011 as the year in which the world watched his wedding to Kate Middleton. But for William and his brother Harry, the year has also brought them back into the in the phone-hacking scandal. It was a News of the World report on Prince William's knee injury in 2005 — an accident only known to a few people in his inner circle — that prompted the first investigations into the current scandal; Prince Harry's phone was also allegedly hacked in order to intercept a voice mail from his brother about an alleged visit to a strip club. Their father Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall may also have been targeted by the newspaper, and it has been alleged that police officers in the Royal Protection Squad were paid by the paper for private information on the Royal Family.
•Gordon Brown
Former British Prime Minister
Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown could not have been pleased when some Murdoch-owned newspapers switched their editorial support to the Conservative Party in the build up to Britain's 2010 election. But he already had reason to dislike Murdoch's The Sun after the newspaper obtained access to medical records relating to his son Fraser's cystic fibrosis condition in 2006 (the Sun maintains the information wasn't obtained by illegal means). In July 2011, Brown upped the ante, lashing out against News Corp in his first major speech in the House of Commons since leaving the prime minister's post and accusing it of "law-breaking on an industrial scale".
•Wendi Deng
Rupert Murdoch's Wife
Born to a factory director in Guangzhou, China, Deng took an internship at News Corp's Star TV in 1996, shortly after finishing her MBA at Yale. By 1998 she had become a junior executive at the company, and served as Murdoch's interpreter during one of his business trips to China. Murdoch's junior by 38 years, the 42-year old Deng became the third Mrs. Murdoch in 1999; the couple have two children. During the parliamentary phone-hacking inquiry on July 19, she demonstrated the loyalty of a devoted wife — and the physicality of a factory-town streetfighter. When British activist/comedian Jonnie Marbles attempted to throw a shaving-cream pie in Murdoch's face, Deng leapt from her seat and delivered a swipe to Marbles' head.
•Jonnie Marbles
Comedian and activist
Born Jonathan May-Bowles, the political activist and stand-up comedian goes by 'Jonnie Marbles' whenever he causes a ruckus. Last year he helped found the left-wing protest group U.K. Uncut, which campaigns against the government's public spending cuts. He came to national attention on July 19 after he gained access to the parliamentary phone-hacking inquiry and attempted to throw a plate of white foam at Rupert Murdoch's face. "I'm actually in this committee," he tweeted at 3:01pm, about half an hour into the hearing. At 4:51, moments before the attack, he portrayed his imminent act as heroic. "It is a far better thing that I do now than I have ever done before #splat." Police charged him with "behavior causing harassment, alarm or distress in a public place." He'll appear in the City of Westminster Magistrates Court on July 29.
•Louise Mensch
Member of Parliament
Conservative MP Louise Mensch jumped into the Hackgate fray with both feet on July 19, as one of the most persistent questioners in the Parliamentary testimony of News Corp executives Rupert and James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks. But Mensch dug in even deeper later that day, when she engaged former News of the World editor and TV presenter Piers Morgan in a nine-minute row live on CNN, in which she claimed that Morgan had been involved in phone hacking himself and had even bragged about it afterward — allegations Morgan strenuously denied. The 40-year-old politician is also a prominent British chick lit author under the name Louise Bagshawe (which is also her maiden name), and is married to Peter Mensch, the manager of rock bands Metallica and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
•Piers Morgan
CNN Host, Former News of the World Editor
At age 28, Piers Morgan became the youngest ever editor of the storied News of the World tabloid in 1994; two years later, he became editor of Britain's Daily Mirror. A noted British TV personality, he's currently a judge on the ABC reality show America's Got Talent and host of the CNN program Piers Morgan Tonight (CNN is owned by Time Warner, which also owns TIME and TIME.com). Morgan has tried to stay out of the spotlight during the hackgate affair and has consistently denied any phone hacking took place during his years as editor. He faced his strongest questioning yet during a heated on-air exchange with British MP Louise Mensch in which she alleged he had in fact boasted of doing so in his 2005 autobiography, The Insider (Mensch apparently misquoted his statements in the book). Morgan called the accusation an "absolute, blatant lie" and "a deliberate and outrageous attempt to smear my name."
•Sara Payne
Mother of Murder Victim and Alleged Hacking Victim
After Sara Payne's 8-year-old daughter Sarah was kidnapped and murdered in West Sussex in 2000, the News of the World threw its weight behind Payne's successful campaign to enact "Sarah's Law," which allows U.K. parents to check whether people with access to their children are sex offenders. On 28 July, 2011, it was revealed that Payne was a potential phone hacking victim of the paper's investigator, Glenn Mulcaire. Scotland Yard investigators recently discovered Payne's personal details in Mulcaire's notes, after telling her earlier that there was no evidence she was a target. The revelation has the flavor of betrayal — after Sarah disappeared, Payne was befriended by then-editor of the News of the World Rebekah Brooks. The number in Mulcaire's notes is alleged to be that of a cell phone Brooks gave to Payne to keep in touch with supporters. Before the revelation, Payne penned a farewell column for the final edition of News of the World, calling the tabloid "a force for good." |

This guy Mark Lewis is fucking awesome. He's coming to America to fight The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, and The New York Post. It's like the second coming of Christ. Let's wish him all the best.
| Time Magazine wrote: | CrimePhone-Hacking Scandal Makes Its Way to America
By Megan Gibson
April 12, 2012
Mark Lewis, who is expected to pursue legal action against News of the WorldIt looks like the saga that’s engulfed the U.K. could make the leap across the pond, as a British lawyer has announced he’ll be taking legal action within the U.S. on behalf of three new alleged victims of phone-hacking.
Mark Lewis — a major thorn in News International’s side as the representative of the family of Milly Dowler, the teenage girl who had her phone hacked by the Rupert Murdoch-owned News of the World after she was murdered — is reportedly set to travel to New York to get the ball rolling on hacking incidents he said took place in the U.S. “I will be having a series of meetings regarding matters relating to phone hacking claims against the News of the World, which has issues in American jurisdictions,” Lewis told the Daily Telegraph.
(LIST: Who’s Who in the U.K. Phone-Hacking Scandal)
While the details of the claims are unknown, Lewis is expected to pursue legal action against News of the World, involving at least three people who allegedly had their phones hacked while on U.S. soil. The BBC reports that of the three, one is a “well-known sports person” and another is an American citizen. Lewis has declined to name his clients, saying that “people are entitled to some element of privacy.”
The scandal has so far been largely contained to the U.K., where dozens of arrests have been made with relation to alleged nefarious press practices, but no charges have been made. Still, there has been significant damage to Murdoch’s U.K. subsidiary, News International. Murdoch shuttered News of the World, though later launched SUN on Sunday, and his son and the company’s heir apparent, James Murdoch, recently resigned as the nonexecutive chairman of the broadcaster BskyB. What’s more, news of the U.S. lawsuits raises the possibility that the scandal could touch down on his stateside News Corporation empire, which includes Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post.
As Lewis told the BBC, “This goes to the heartland of News Corporation and we’ll be looking at the involvement of the parent company in terms of claims there and that is something that will be taken more seriously by perhaps the investors and shareholders in News Corporation.” The BBC also reports that News International has so far declined to comment on Lewis’ statements.
Meanwhile, Britain has continued to deal with the scandal’s fallout. On April 12, the Independent Police Complaints Commission openly criticized Scotland Yard for compromising policy and blurring boundaries by appointing former News of the World executive Neil Wallis as a press adviser for the force. |

| "Don't build your own benefit on someone else's harm." Isn't that a simple, lovely teaching? That's my old guru Gyatrul Rinpoche's explanation of Santideva's teaching. I make this post because there's this evil, pervasive belief in our society of the opposite these days. |

| We're making the video, "Psycho Santa," right now. It's going to be interesting. We're coming onto your playground, evil children. We're going to make an intelligent video. It's not like there are very many out there. Thank God for the ones that are there. It'll probably be another day or two. There is so much you can do when you make a video. |

All answers to the questions of our fucked-up world can be found in Carl Jung's "The Red Book." Below is an example of the perverted gnostic-fascist thinking behind Inman's vicious attack on Charles Carreon. Remember that weird movie with Johnny Depp, "Once Upon a Time in Mexico," where he plays a CIA agent and kills the Mexican chef because he is too good at what he does? The cook hero was too dangerous to the New World Order to be allowed to exist.
http://www.naderlibrary.com/redbookjung.toc.htm
| Carl Jung, The Red Book wrote: | | I must say that the God could not come into being before the hero had been slain. The hero as we understand him has become an enemy of the God, since the hero is perfection. The Gods envy the perfection of man, because perfection has no need of the Gods. But since no one is perfect, we need the Gods. The Gods love perfection because it is the total way of life. But the Gods are not with him who wishes to be perfect, because he is an imitation of perfection. |
One of the heroes that Carl Jung kills is Siegfried, the beautiful, noble, blonde Norse prince who he values above all others. Carl Jung betrayed his country, and his own highest ideals. He was working with the American and British fascists against Germany, supposedly to bring us all to "the new-old" God! Or to McDonalds, more like it.
The idea works like this: By betraying your own ideals, and everything good in yourself and the world, by getting down into "the mud," with the slithering, slimy snakes, you can overcome man and become the Superman. |

In this example, the audience would get big LOLs because they knew it was lava the whole time! |
I think there's some correspondence here between Matt Inman and Carl Jung. Both into Vulcanism and chaos, perhaps alchemy. Just like the Bush hard-liners: Lewis Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, and Condoleezza Rice, who called themselves "Vulcans." http://www.american-buddha.com/911.fallofavulcan.htm . Wasn't there some Inman upset because of a certain song Charles wrote about Condoleezza, which song was the subject of the Inman gang's first DOS attack against my websites? http://www.naderlibrary.com/poet.condoleeza.htm#CONDOLEEZA And a picture I made of her called "Tits and Rice," which was designed especially to communicate with the Bush cannibals about a more enlightened version of cannibalism, one without explicit violence like Inman's so-called "art." See? Nobody's grimacing. There's no trauma being foisted on anyone. Just a peaceful, strongly-worded message of dissent.
And wasn't Condoleezza George Bush's mistress?
Well, I'm happy to be fighting about art, philosophy and sex.
| Carl Jung, The Red Book wrote: | He who enters into his own must grope through what lies at hand, he must sense his way from stone to stone. He must embrace the worthless and the worthy with the same love. A mountain is nothing, and a grain of sand holds kingdoms, or also nothing. Judgment must fall from you, even taste, but above all pride, even when it is based on merit. Utterly poor, miserable, unknowingly humiliated, go on through the gate. Turn your anger against yourself, since only you stop yourself from looking and from living. The mystery play is soft like air and thin smoke, and you are raw matter that is disturbingly heavy. But let your hope, which is your highest good and highest ability, lead the way and serve you as a guide in the world of darkness, since it is of like substance with the forms of that world.
The scene of the mystery play is a deep place like the crater of a volcano. My deep interior is a volcano, that pushes out the fiery-molten mass of the unformed and the undifferentiated. Thus my interior gives birth to the children of chaos, of the primordial mother. He who enters the crater also becomes chaotic matter, he melts. The formed in him dissolves and binds itself anew with the children of chaos, the powers of darkness, the ruling and the seducing, the compelling and the alluring, the divine and the devilish. These powers stretch beyond my certainties and limits on all sides, and connect me with all forms and with all distant beings and things, through which inner tidings of their being and their character develop in me.
Because I have fallen into the source of chaos, into the primordial beginning, I myself become smelted anew in the connection with the primordial beginning, which at the same time is what has been and what is becoming. At first I come to the primordial beginning in myself. But because I am a part of the matter and formation of the world, I also come into the primordial beginning of the world in the first place. I have certainly participated in life as someone formed and determined, but only through my formed and determined consciousness and through this in a formed and determined piece of the whole world, but not in the unformed and undetermined aspects of the world that likewise are given to me. Yet it is given only to my depths, not to my surface, which is a formed and determined consciousness. |

Another one of my heroes is Douglas Adams, who wrote "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." He had a similar non-violent approach to art. When one of Magrathea's nuclear missiles gets launched against the Heart of Gold spaceship that Zaphod Beebelbrox has stolen, Douglas Adams rushes to reassure us that no harm will come to anyone -- just a bruise to someone's forearm, and the death of a sperm whale who has been "suddenly called into existence," against its traditional, nihilist, fascist philosophy:
http://www.naderlibrary.com/hitchhiker.screen.htm
| Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy wrote: | STRESS FACTORS UNACCEPTABLE
[Narrator] Stress and nervous tension are now serious social problems in all parts of the Galaxy, and it is in order that this situation should not be in any way exacerbated that the following facts will now be revealed in advance.
SOOTHING IMAGE 12
[Narrator] The planet in question is, in fact, Magrathea. The missile attack shortly to be launched by an ancient automatic defence system will merely result in the breakage of three coffee cups and a mouse cage, the bruising of someone's upper arm and the untimely creation and demise of a bowl of petunias and an innocent sperm whale.
SMALL UNALARMING BRUISE
[Narrator] In order that some sense of mystery should still be preserved, no revelations will yet be made concerning whose upper arm has been bruised. This fact may safely be made the subject of suspense since it is of no significant whatsoever.
Arthur's next question is very complex and difficult, and Zaphod's answer is wrong in every important respect.
[Arthur] Is it safe?
[Zaphod] Of course! It's been dead for five million years.
(FANFARE)
[Slartibartfast] Greetings to you.
[Zaphod] Computer, what's this?
[Computer] A five-million-year-old holotape being broadcast at us.
[Slartibartfast] This is a recorded announcement as I'm afraid we're all out at the moment. The Commercial Council of Magrathea ...
[Zaphod] A voice from ancient Magrathea!
[Ford] OK, OK!
[Slartibartfast] ... regrets that the entire planet is temporarily closed for business. Thank you. Leave your name and the address of the planet where you can be contacted when you hear the tone.

[Trillian] They want us to leave. What do we do?
[Zaphod] We keep going. Got that, Computer?
[Computer] Got it!
[Slartibartfast] (FANFARE) It is most gratifying that your enthusiasm for our planet continues unabated, and so we would like to assure you that the guided missiles currently converging with your ship are part of a special service we extend to all of our most enthusiastic clients, and the fully-armed nuclear warheads are, of course, merely a courtesy detail. We look forward to your custom in future lives. Thank you.
[Arthur] If that's their sales pitch, what's the complaints department like?
[Zaphod] Listen, you semi-evolved simian! Will you crowbar this into your cranium? We just triggered off an ancient recording device. It doesn't apply to us.
[Trillian] And the missiles?
[Zaphod] Missiles? You want to make me laugh? Show me some missiles!
[Ford] I think they're going to have a very good try at applying to us.
[Arthur] What?
(BEEPING)
OBJECT PROXIMITY
[Zaphod] Terrific! They're trying to kill us! You know what that means?
[Arthur] Yes, we're going to die.
[Zaphod] Yeah ... no ... maybe ... It means there's something down there they don't want us to have, and if they don't want us to have it that badly, I want to have it even worse.
[Trillian] So there is someone down there?
[Zaphod] No. It's automatic defence systems.
[Ford] What are we going to do?
[Zaphod] Just keep cool.
[Arthur] Is that all?
[Zaphod] Er, no, we're also going to take evasive action. Computer, what evasive action can we take?
[Computer] Er, none, I'm afraid, guys.
[Zaphod] Or something ...
[Computer] There's something jamming my guidance systems. Impact minus 150 seconds. (ALARM) Sorry. I didn't mean that. Please call me Eddie if it will help you relax.
[Zaphod] Right, Computer, I want full manual control of this ship now!
[Computer] You got it.
[Trillian] But can you fly her?
[Zaphod] No. Can you?
[Trillian] No.
[Zaphod] Ford?
[Ford] No.
[Zaphod] Fine. We'll do it together.
[Arthur] I can't either.
[Zaphod] I'd guessed. Computer, activate the manual consoles.
[Computer] Sure thing. Good luck, guys. Impact minus 125 seconds.
[Zaphod] Here goes!
[Trillian] We're veering too far.
[Ford] She's going into a spin!
[Zaphod] Then, dive her out of it! Dive! Dive!
[Narrator] It is, of course, more or less at this point that one of our heroes sustains a slight bruise to the upper arm. This should be emphasised because, as has already been revealed, they escape otherwise completely unharmed, and the deadly nuclear missiles do not eventually hit the ship. Our heroes' safety is absolutely assured.
[Computer] Impact minus 88 seconds, guys.
[Arthur] You can't shake them! We're going to die!
[Computer] (SINGS) When you walk through the storm hold your head up high ...
[Zaphod] Shut that bloody computer up!
[Trillian] Zaph, do you think we can stabilise at X00 547 if we split our flight path tangentially across the vector of 9 GX 78 with a 5 degree inertial correction?
[Zaphod] What? Yes, I expect so, just do it! Do you think she's bluffing?
[Trillian] Here goes!
[Ford] Hey, where'd you learn a stunt like that?
[Trillian] Going round Hyde Park Corner on a moped.
[Zaphod] What?
[Trillian] I'll tell you later. Hold tight.
[Computer] (SINGS) And you'll never walk alone ...
[Arthur] The missiles are gaining on us! We are quite definitely going to die!
DANGER
MANUAL
IMPROBABILITY
CONTROL
[Arthur] Hey! Why don't we use the Improbability Drive?
[Zaphod] Are you crazy? Without programming, anything could happen.
[Arthur] Whereas, at the moment, we just definitely die. Is that it?
[Trillian] Does anyone have a good reason for not using the Improbability Drive?
[Computer] It's been great getting to know all you guys. God bless.
[Trillian] Does anyone have a good reason for not using the Improb ...?
[Zaphod] What the photon happened?
[Arthur] Well, there's this switch here ...
[Zaphod] Where are we?
[Trillian] Exactly where were were, I think.
[Zaphod] What about the missiles?
[Ford] Well, according to this, they have turned into a bowl of petunias and a very surprised-looking whale.
[Computer] At an Improbability Level of 8,767,128 to 1 against.
[Zaphod] Did you think of that, Earthman?
[Arthur] Well, all I did was ...
[Zaphod] That's a pretty hoopy piece of thinking, you know that?
[Arthur] It was nothing, really ...
[Zaphod] Was it? Oh, well, forget it.
[Zaphod] OK, Computer, take us in to land.
[Arthur] I say it was nothing ... Obviously, it was something. I was just trying to say that it's not worth making too much of a fuss about, saving everybody's lives ...
[Narrator] Another thing that nobody made too much fuss about was that, against all probability, a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence some miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it had to come to terms with suddenly not being a whale any more.
[Whale] Ah! What's happening? Er, excuse me? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by, "Who am I"? Calm down! Get a grip now! Oh, this is an interesting sensation. It's a sort of yawning, tingling sensation in my ... my ... Well, I better start finding names for things, so let's call it my stomach. So, a yawning, tingling sensation in my stomach. And that whistling, roaring sound? That can be wind. Perhaps I can find a better name for it later. Hey, what's this thing? Let's call it a tail! Yeah, tail. Hey, I can really thrash it about pretty good, can't I? Wow! Wow! Hey! Doesn't seem to achieve much, but I'll probably figure out what it's for later on. Oh, hey, this is really exciting! So much to find out about, so much to look forward to. I'm dizzy with anticipation. What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very, very fast ... so big and flat and wide, it needs a big, wide-sounding word, like round ... round ... ground!That's it -- ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?
[Narrator] Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias was:
PETUNIA CONSCIOUSNESS ARTICULATION
“OH NO, NOT AGAIN”
ACCELERATION RATE: 22ZLS/XC/XC
SPEED
95 ALTM/S
ATMOSPHERIC
RESISTANCE
15 ALTP / ALTM2
INCOMPREHENSIBLE
[Narrator] ... that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that, we should know a lot more about the Universe than we do now. |

This collage that I did of Kathleen Parker has been the subject of a lot of Inman gang conversation. They've gone through our entire ouevre, Charles and mine, to find every bit of potentially incriminating evidence against us, all at the urging of the disreputable and competing Internet lawyers Ken at Popehat, Marc Randazza of the Legal Satyricon, and sadistic "artist" Matt Inman of the Oatmeal, to name just a few of the bad characters in this play. The bad characters have been all over us for a long time now, ever since I shot my gun to warn off a trespassing CIA-Buddhist neighbor from an illustrious CIA family -- father general counsel for the CIA, mother secretary of the OSS under Truman, entire family in the CIA -- who was really pissing me off by messing with our gate, and ever since we published "The Ashland Free Press," calling the government on their 9/11 lies. They've been following and harassing us ever since. At least, I assume it's them. They don't actually say who they are. But in my darkened-enlightened judgment, these newest bad characters seem very like the rabid and pathetic children of chaos and darkness -- to use Carl Jung's words about himself (he's proud of it) -- as the previous ones. They've just missed us so terribly since we moved to Arizona, they just had to get back in touch!
My children turned out far better than these children of intelligence agents. Almost all children these days are children of intelligence agents. My children, however, are superior people, all three of them.
One of these previous bad characters threatened to kill me at the dinner table in Mexico. Another threatened to kill me at the lake in Mt. Shasta. Another guy at Shasta, one of a gang of guys who descended upon us, described in gory detail how he loved to wring the necks of birds. Another guy accosted Charles in an Ashland coffee shop and warned him about the spider pit in Florida. The story goes that you just show someone the pit, with the human bones stripped bare, nay, simply tell them about it, and they will back right off from doing what they know they shouldn't be doing to piss off the mob. There was the assassin that hard-assed us at the shooting range. And so much more I can't even tell you. They had huge gangs of people on our ass.
I think something similar must have happened to Bob Dylan, because he doesn't do anything political anymore. Joan Baez has had all the fire burned out of her. Neal Young is still going strong, thank god, a total hero. Iggy Pop is still fighting it out. They killed everyone else: John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Phil Ochs, Sandy Denny, Janis Joplin, Bob Marley, Jim Morrison, Peter Tosh, etc., etc., etc. Personally, I'd like nothing more than to see the CIA burn to smithereens in a fiery hell. Not the people, just the CIA. All the intelligence agencies, fuck them. I want the agents to go to re-education camps to study Thomas Paine. Because they are all about fascism, sadism, and madness. I'd like to see anyone intelligent try to refute the truth of that statement. And I'm going to keep telling the truth until the day I die.
So, if you want to know who you're working for, kiddies-against-Charles-Carreon, that's my best guess of who your Masters are. The CIA runs everything, despite Kay Griggs saying it's really NATO. The CIA are NATO's terrorists, and although I respect her judgment greatly, it is my judgment that when you are terrorists for NATO paid for by the American government, accessing an unlimited budget, it doesn't matter who your so-called "bosses" are. And if you think it's against their charter to be "domestic," when you're invincible, who cares about charters? They run the world as a giant totalitarian state, and everyone is completely ignorant of it. Those of us who do know are voices crying in the wilderness.
If there was some nasty secret to be told about anyone in our family, everyone would know it by now, thanks to these guys' efforts. If you're black, they just kill you. They killed Martin Luther King. Other similarly conspiring groups of people use these methods to take down potential Presidents and seekers of public office. They killed practically everyone who was in a position of power who disagreed with them about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They killed Robert Kennedy. Look at what they did to Clinton, all because he let some girl suck his cock in the Oval Office. Big deal! I thought that was standard operating procedure for presidents. John F. Kennedy had a different girl waiting for him everywhere he went. All he did was fuck young, pretty girls. We saw a French movie the other night which was about rapeutation. A rich guy's business associates kidnapped him, ruined him, and stole his company.
A person posting at Ken's Popehat site, shamelessly mischaracterized this collage as Kathleen Parker getting gangbanged. The bastards always like to accuse you of the thing they're doing. Who cares if it's not true? -- it has its effect. Maybe no one will even look at the picture to verify the statement. Like weapons of mass destruction, people believe, and you can't turn the clock back. Even if a retraction is issued, a lot of people didn't hear it. Lies are very powerful. Which is why we should be more vigilant towards them in our society, instead of everyone not caring, and just believing. Thanks to religion, we have a world of believers. But do we even have a society? Nobody cares that America is run by a criminal government that is covering up for the real 9/11 attackers. So we obviously don't even have a society.
Talk about a gangbang, that's what they are doing to us. Of course, if you comlain, they'll attack with "don't give me that shit that he did it first."
Actually, it does matter. Our government always tries to pretend that they got hit first, whenever they want to start a new war. It gives them moral justification. There is a lot of social morality built up around the question of who did something first.
Kathleen Parker is not getting gangbanged in my collage. I would never do that to a woman, not even one I hate. It is corrupt boys and men who see every sexual encounter with a woman as a mandate for rape. If what this guy said were true, then every picture of a clothed woman with a naked man is a woman being raped. Funny, how when the men are clothed and the women are naked, the men AREN'T being raped. But that's the regular double standard we live with. Only the men get to do the raping. They lie like it's going out of style.
In my collage, Kathleen Parker is totally in control, grabbing two penises, which are entirely symbolic, the one on the left symbolizing UNCHECKED MILITARISM, and the one on the right CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT. Because she approves of these things. It's a political cartoon, protected by the First Amendment. Additionally, I made my meaning abundantly clear with the captions. I don't approve of art that is ambiguous. But of course, the penises also function as a sexual pun; however, NOT a rape pun, but a pleasure pun.
And these guys pretend to be First Amendment people. Yeah, right ------ And when the Republicans start talking about wintering wildlife, you know you got a problem. These guys would have been Tories during the Revolutionary War, hunting down Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine and turning them over to the English authorities.
Is it really so far out to symbolize these political realities as penises? Gimme a break! Rockets, guns, the military, the mafia, they're all about penises. We can't get away from the damned things. Our society is cursed with penises. The fact is that the Priapus people just can't stand me criticizing their principle object of worship! So much of the problems in our world come down to the Priapus people.

Click Fraud Overwhelms Net
The very underpinnings of the Internet economy are under assault. As clicks have turned into proxies for human attention, recruiting zombie armies, whether mechanized or human, has become job 1 for Internet fraudsters. Google and other online advertisers are unwilling to discuss the scope of the problem. The Federal Government is completely out to lunch. Individual consumers stand idly by while the digital economy is dwarfed by a wave of bullshit clicks.

[Trillian] Try some grated Arcturan megadonkey.
"PSYCHO SANTA BOOTLEG VERSION," by Charles Carreon

"DON'T MESS WITH MY MOM," by Charles Carreon

Actually, a few times they DID identify themselves. Once, literally out of the blue, like Star Trek, as if he beamed in on a matter transporter, a guy appeared into nowhere where we were hanging out on the lawn by a stream. I was reading a silly little book about the CIA that Charles picked up for me at Barnes & Noble. The guy walks up -- we're the only ones there -- and tells me that the book I'm reading is a really good book. I said, "No, actually, it's crap. He says the CIA can do whatever they want to do, that they are above the law." He was a very dignified, tall, dark-haired gentleman who said he was from Air Force Intelligence, made a little small talk, and then invited us to come to the local Ordo Templi Orientis library, that they had some interesting books he thought I'd be interested in. I'm thinking in my mind, "Right, like I'm going to walk right into the lair of the Devil! He must think I'm stupid. Then I'd be sacrificed on the altar in a Black Mass. I don't think so." Then he disappeared from where he came.
Another time Robert Anton Wilson (Uncle Bob) sent two of his goons to visit us: Eddy Nix and his beautiful "friend." Besides wanting to have sex with us, Eddy Nix (an Illuminati name) wanted to get Charles to help jack a rich Buddhist heiress named Mimi Hohenberg out of 5 million. I told Charles I would absolutely divorce him if he had anything to do with it. And I don't even like Mimi. She trashed the interior of my brand new Cherokee jeep just a week after we bought it when she borrowed it and moved her stuff in it. And she was an arrogant bitch about her money. "Tara, I'm rich!" Yeah, from the ill-gotten gains of slavery. But I'm not into female sacrifice, like so many other traitorous women in the world who bow to the Big Penis for "love" and money.
Now, having established my bonafides .... |
