A book trailer for 'My Two Chinas'

Evidently, this is the way to do marketing in this day and age. Make a *video* "trailer" (on YouTube) *for a book*... At least this one is a worthy book, by Tang Baiqiao with Damon DiMarco - and one which the China Support Network will promote heavily in the coming New Year. :)

    "You may remember that in 1851
    the New York Herald Tribune
    under the sponsorship and publishing
    of Horace Greeley,
    employed as its London correspondent
    an obscure journalist by the name of Karl Marx.

    We are told that foreign correspondent Marx,
    stone broke, and with a family ill and undernourished,
    constantly appealed to Greeley
    and managing editor Charles Dana
    for an increase in his munificent salary
    of $5 per installment,
    a salary which he and Engels ungratefully labeled
    as the "lousiest petty bourgeois cheating."

    But when all his financial appeals were refused,
    Marx looked around for other means of livelihood
    and fame, eventually terminating his relationship
    with the Tribune and devoting his talents full time
    to the cause that would bequeath the world
    the seeds of Leninism, Stalinism,
    revolution and the cold war.

    If only this capitalistic New York newspaper
    had treated him more kindly;
    if only Marx had remained a foreign correspondent,
    history might have been different.
    And I hope all publishers will bear this lesson in mind
    the next time they receive a poverty-stricken appeal
    for a small increase in the expense account
    from an obscure newspaper man."

  5. Ah yes Pod for the "Secret Societies" speech at the Press Club 1962...
    A very strange speech in actuality...not the normal anticom code of the day, reaching deeper into the heart of the conspiracy.

    Yes the book does look powerful--they have a heck of a trailer. brilliantly produced.

  6. Something about this post makes me feel very sorry for anyone under 50, with so much of their lives to still live.

    I feel blessed to have lived my youth when I did.

    If there is not a transformative event in the nearterm--and things progress according to the NWO Illuminati plan...Hell on Earth.

  7. yea rogue,

    the 1% will use any -ism to control the herd
    or is it, the herd will let any -ism control them

    the 1% will tell you
    'the herd wants to be controlled,
    needs to be controlled,
    their happier when controlled,
    so any -ism will work'

    the synthesis between
    capital-ism and commun-ism
    is control-ism

    it's for your own good !

  9. The publisher is supposedly
    ' Promethius Books '
    yet I have searched
    their web-site and found nothing

    http://www.prometheusbooks.com/

    and I even went to their facebook page

    http://www.facebook.com/PrometheusBooks

    nothing !

    However, I found something interesting ;
    a sculpture of Prometheus in front of the GE building
    at the Rockefeller Center , NY

  10. Nice story- but if it hadn't been Marx, someone else would have helped crystalize the sentiments of revolt against the elitist repressions of those days.

    We have mostly forgotten about the Revolutions of 1848 ...which generally failed but foreshadowed what was to come. We are also encouraged to "blame" (or "credit") individuals for what are actually popular movements. And that makes it easier for current perception managers to defuse surges in public consciousness and reassert zombie-mode submission.

    It sure looks like the Oligarchy wants to reclaim the divine-right of hedge fund managers, and return the people to powerlessness. And we are the seeds of the kickback which is sure to come.

  12. The modern world is a horrific terrain of constructed knowledge—organically directed toward the eradication of all free thought. Contrasting this modern manifestation of Control with its historical antecedents, Burroughs writes, “To confuse this old-style power with the manifestation of control madness we see now on this planet is to confuse a disappearing wart with an exploding cancer.”

    “The program of the ruling elite in Orwell’s 1984 was: ‘A foot stamping on a human face forever!’ This is naïve and optimistic. No species could survive for even a generation under such a program. This is not a program of eternal, or even long-range dominance. It is clearly an extermination program.”~William S. Burroughs

  13. Well Laudy,

    The 1848 uprisings were certainly not spontaneous, but were of the master agenda we keep investigating today.
    Individuals are only important in the interface with the system, and the matrix of the individual actors and their imprints define and frame that matrix.

    then I searched Xuejing Chen

    and then I stumbled on this;
    any connection to Prometheus ?

  17. Hmmm...perhaps I am Illuminati {grin}

    I wrote an essay on Peter Pan as an allegory to Prometheus. Never Never Land as Turtle Island, with the Indians of course. The "Lost Boys" as the revolutionary colonists. And of course Hook in his Red Coat and pirate ship; Britain. Tinkerbell is the "muse" of the craftsmen and artisans of agrarian liberal society.

    Bringing all this to relate to the future of that revolution of America, Tinkerbell leads the Pan to the suburban home of the children he introduces to Never Never Land.

  22. I've read Anton Wilson over the years and am fascinated with his mind and thinking. Met Leary and Lilly, friends of his, but never Wilson his self.

    I was and am a futurist in such terms myself. Spinning in this cocoon, only a butterfly in my imagination....so far.

  23. If you're looking for more about the book, you may be right that it's not at Prometheus' website yet. But you can go here--
    http://www.damondimarco.com/

    --And that's the co-author's website, where he's been posting the endorsement blurbs (including mine) as they come in. For instance, it was great news when we learned that the Dalai Lama would contribute the book's foreword.

  24. Thanks john,
    I found an interview
    of Tenzin Gyatso
    part as follows ;

    "I think the major flaw of the Marxist regimes
    is that they have placed too much emphasis
    on the need to destroy the ruling class,
    on class struggle,
    and this causes them to encourage hatred
    and to neglect compassion.
    Although their initial aim might have been
    to serve the cause of the majority,
    when they try to implement it
    all their energy is deflected into destructive activities.
    Once the revolution is over
    and the ruling class is destroyed,
    there is nor much left to offer the people;
    at this point the entire country is impoverished
    and unfortunately
    it is almost as if the initial aim were to become poor.
    I think that this is due to the lack of human solidarity
    and compassion.
    The principal disadvantage of such a regime
    is the insistence placed on hatred
    to the detriment of compassion."

    forgiveness
    is the attribute of the strong

    so we have compassion for the 1%

    If we see them in ourselves
    and ourselves in them
    we lose all fear

    as master Yoda said ;

    Fear is the path to the dark side

    fear leads to anger
    anger leads to hate
    hate leads to suffering

    we forgive the 1%

    yes or no ?

  25. "fear leads to anger
    anger leads to hate
    hate leads to suffering

    we forgive the 1%

    yes or no ?"

    For everything there is a season.

    Forgiveness is not necessarily amnesty.
    We may fogive in our own hearts, and not punish beyond the point of stopping evil.
    A very lightly drawn line at times.

    There are other paths to anger than fear.
    Yea even righteousness.

    It depends on definitions as always.

    Is anger necessarily "mindless rage"?
    Or is anger "energy"--the energy to act.
    This question goes to the electro-chemical nature of our being.

  27. yes rogue,

    'There are other paths to anger than fear.'

    Unfulfilled desires
    and expectations
    lead to frustration,
    frustration leads to anger,
    anger leads to suffering,
    and suffering leads to sorrow.

    We can or will
    transmute neutral energy
    into creative or destructive realities

  28. There are few times where the will to change is not fueled by rage and vengeance: we've seen a few in recent years- So. Africa, the Philippines.... But sadly the conditions for the peoples there are only slightly different. Structural domination and injustice leave marks for generations, and often new elites rise to replace the old in the meantime.

    I think our world was populated throughout well before the "age of discovery" by people willing to live in the harshest physical conditions in order to escape petty despots in their places of origin. Sadly, those frontiers no longer exist.
