Commenting on the Bin Laden tape, the esteemed Bob Dobbs remarks:
"...................The important pattern to get from the "Bin Laden Tape" is the revelation that UBL's main problem was to prevent so many, even among his immediate associates, from figuring out what was to come, thanks to their dreams. So, UBL's task, as one representative of the rise of the Anthropomorphic Physical (which is the effect of the present medium of Voluntary ESP, built via the WWWeb), was to block the inevitable reflex in the parallel environment of Cloned ESP (the Android Meme, built from 1960-90) - the common experience of synchronicity for millions today.
For him, it was to ward off as long as possible the xenochrony ("strange synchronicity") of the AP/AM wrestling match.

Claudia just emailed me some great find and words by the great Bob Dobbs :
"This frustration we all have in communicating an epiphany personally
between one or two people is now being enacted in front of six billion
people as we confront the world anxiety. Because the world communication
networks are having the same dilemma."
--Bob Dobbs
"The perfect crime is not the one which leaves no trace. It is the one
which is impossible to reconstruct because it has no motive and, at
bottom, no perpetrator."
--Jean Baudrillard
"Hollywood means "sacred grove," and from this modern grove has issued a
new pantheon of gods and goddesses to fashion and trouble the dreams of
modern man."
--Marshall McLuhan (1954)
"Maritain has explained this pagan view of man as an angel driving a
machine, his body. So that granted the pagan premise that man is simply
a fallen angel, the ideal of modern industrial humanism is quite
consistent. Let us doll up the fallen angel and let us put it in ever
more powerful machines until the whole world looks like Marilyn Monroe
in a Cadillac convertible. Powered by the magic of the camera eye and
the means of duplicating its imagery universally, we have begun to
approach the realization of this angelic dream."
--Marshall McLuhan (1954)
"There's a reason why spelling is called spelling, and it's quite
serious. The alphabet is a condensation of desire."
--Grant Morrison
"The Federal Reserve has a magic wand and when they print paper they
pass the magic wand over it and it becomes money. When the Mafia prints
paper in their cellar, they don't have the magic wand so it's not real
money. But supposing Andy Warhol found a Mafia dollar and put a frame
around it? It'd be worth more than the Federal Reserve money. How does
the Federal Reserve get away with this swindle and no one ever suspects
it?"
--Robert Anton Wilson
"When something is current it creates currency."
--Marshall McLuhan
"When we transfer money from one bank to another, they don't actually
send a boodle of physical cash to the other bank; they SIMPLY AGREE that
one bank now has more money and the original bank has a little less.
Only financial energy, or fergs, have been transferred. The study of
the motion of fergs through the sociosphere is the study of the blood
circulation of the SICK ORGANISM that is society. At the moment, its
"blood" -- or ferg cells -- are being rerouted, due to the disease we
call The Conspiracy, to the wrong places, i.e., to tumors, or to the
wrong glands, or to the Mindless Aggression part of the social brain,
whereas the part of the "brain" inhabited by SubGenii is wilting like an
old man whose arteriosclerosis is blocking the oxygenation of brain
cells, bringing on senility..... of course this is just an analogy."
--Philo Drummond
"Science enables man to operate as if he were nature on other men."
--Wyndham Lewis
"It is popular or unpopular to attack advertising. But is is unheard-of
to take it seriously as a form of art. Personally I see it as a form of
art. And like symbolist art it is created to produce an effect rather
than to argue or discuss the merits of a product. .. The advertiser
proclaims to his clients that his pictorial and verbal magic is linked
to the assembly line. No pictorial magic, no mass production. The
primitive witch-doctor had spells which controlled the elements. The
modern advertiser concocts spells which compel the customer. What the
advertisers have discovered is simply that the new media of
communication are themselves magical art forms. All art is in a sense
magical in that it produces a change or metamorphosis in the spectator.
It refashions his experience. In our slap-happy way we have released a
great deal of this magic on ourselves today. We have been changing
ourselves about at a great rate like Alley Oop. Some of us have been
left hanging by our ears from the chandeliers."
--Marshall McLuhan (1954)
"Resistance is Futile."
--McDonald's Advertisement
"Paradoxically, the machine has not stiffened but melted life. It has
rendered all the conditions of experience so fluid and frothy that men
are now swimming in another Flood."
--Marshall McLuhan (1944)
"All media during the age of Pisces were extensions of Water, so you get
this fish thing. And now, we get out of the bowl!"
--Bob Dobbs
"Everything makes sense in reverse"
--Jean Baudrillard
"To put the thing briefly, Poe saw that poetry should be written
backward. One must begin with the effect that is to be acheived and
then seek out the means for obtaining that effect and no other effect.
Thus the same insight which enabled Poe to be the inventor of symbolist
poetry also made him the inventor of detective fiction. For the sleuth
works backwards from the effect of the event to reconstruct the
circumstances which produced the particular event or murder. In this
way the detective does not produce a theory or a view of a case. He
recreates it for your participation."
--Marshall McLuhan
"Junk is the ideal product.... the ultimate merchandise. No sales talk
necessary. The client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy....
The junk merchant does not sell his product to the consumer, he sells
the consumer to his product. He does not improve and simplify his
merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client. He pays his staff
in junk."
--William Burroughs
"Everything is tautology except black coffee"
--Marcel Duchamp
"Behailed His Gross the Ondt, prostrandvorous upon his dhrone, in his
Papylonian babooshkees, smolking a spatial brunt of Hosana, cigals, with
unshrinkables farfalling from his unthinkables, swarming of himself in
his sunny room, sated before his comfortumble phullupsuppy of a plate
o'monkeynous and a confucion of minthe (for he was a conformed aceticist
and aristotaller), as appias a oneysucker or a baskerboy on the Libido,
with Floh biting his leg thigh and Luse lugging his luff leg and Bieni
bussing him under his bonnet and Vespatilla blowing cosy fond tutties up
the allabroad length of the large of his smalls. As entomate as
intimate could pinchably be."
--Shaun
"You MUST perform deviant sex!!!"
--The Church of the SubGenius
"Abstinence is the only deviant sex left."
--me
"With Tibetan Monks, celibacy is used as a magick battery."
--Genesis P-Orridge
"The release of human life through massive ritual sacrifice provides an
energy level that will power psychic technology."
--The Church of the SubGenius
"As always the lunch is naked. If civilized countries want to return to
Druid Hanging Rites in the Sacred Grove or to drink blood with the
Aztecs and feed their Gods with blood of human sacrifice, let them see
what they actually eat and drink. Let them see what is on the end of
that long newspaper spoon."
--William Burroughs
"Consider how calmly people accept food which has no nourishment in it,
and then pay extra for advertisements which tell them that some of this
nourishment (vitamins) has been generously restored."
--Marshall McLuhan
"The earth has become small, and on it hops the Last Man, who makes
everything small."
--Friedrich Nietzsche
"Noooooooo Body!!!!!!!!"
--Mel Last Man
"That all your troubles come from that charming neighbour of yours,
whose bald head you see peaceably shining in the early morning Sunday
sun while he waters his lawn, who is always ready with a cheery word on
the weather, the holy days, the cricket score -- that is what is
intolerable."
--Wyndham Lewis
"We are getting bilked in so many ways that listing them all might get
me charged with inciting a riot. But who cares?"
--Michael Moore
"I ain't got no body, no body-cares for me"
--Van Dyke Parks, from the album 'Discover America'
"Having infinite power, I sink to my knees and weep."
--Albion Moonlight
"In the name of the former and of the latter and of their holocaust.
Allmen."
--Shaun]]
