Don't Take The Red Pill

I spent much of yesterday researching 911 conspiracy theory.

I don't like what it's done to my head. 

Are the secret chiefs who run our world really so sneaky, smart and super-efficient? 

What about the fuck-up theory of history?

Conspiracyland is such an unhealthy place to live. Ooh, the paranoia!

Frankly, I'd rather forget all about it.

But maybe that's what the secret chiefs are counting on...

That's a great quote. Thanks.

I've been thinking quite a lot about the banality of TV- how there's so little on any channel that stretches the mind or the imagination, how the TV news casts (even here in the UK) just trot along behind the Murdoch agenda.

And these lines of John Lennon's keep popping into my mind.

"Keep you drugged on religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see....."

I wonder if we can pin the last 20 years of Hollywood on TV's ability to kill the imagination. Sequel after sequel, remakes of older films, or movies based off television series. The lack of creativity is appalling.

TV and film- it's the same industry, more or less- with the same suits in charge of things.
