Iron Man 2

Marvel comics has to have been the greatest $4.24 billion purchase Disney ever made.  They have now an unlimited supply of quality stories to be told in a cinematic age that can bring these pages to life in a way that just hadn’t been possible in the same way before.

Iron Man 2 is an all American film best described in the line delivered by Tony Stark (Rober Downey Jr) “I successfully privatised world peace”.   I guess this is where Bush got his idea of sending the likes of Blackwater into the war in Iraq.

It’s a disgustingly all American film and for that you have to love it. It’s big, bad and in your face. AC/DC made the sound track for the movie and it’s just what you want when tons of mechanised, metal war machines go head to head in a battle between good and bad.

I do not have to talk about the story line and I can tell you exactly what you are going to get.

  1. America “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHA” yeah baby!
  2. A smart hero
  3. Cute girls that fit everything
  4. Futuristic battle machines that bring big and exciting bang
  5. Head nodding rock that will keep you till the end.

When the film ended I stayed to listen to AC/DC on a great stereo system, in dolby, in a perfectly acoustically designed  room. This is a great choice to go to the cinema for!

There is BTW a sneaky little bit after all the credits to remind you of what’s to come.

Dinosaurs in Cambodia

Well my friend showed me this picture years ago and I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen it before. It is truly an amazing snap at one of the worlds wonders Ankor Wat.

If you have ever been to the amazing ruins that exist there, it is fascinating that a civilasation can have disappeared of the face of the earth to such extremes that we are only really trying to grasp it’s history in the last ten years.

I have been lucky enough to also visit the ruins at Hampi in Karnataka in India and it is believed that both these cities were trading around the same times in history and based on their sizes you can well imagine an amazing and vibrant internationally trading community in both cases.

In Ankor there are large collection of temples to be visited that to properly look at them all would take weeks,months if not years to study them and work out how they came to be and develop in the way they are.

However, many of them are decorated by figures of the day in much the same way we would take pictures of wild life that fascinate us, the people of a by gone age would carve what they saw on to the walls of these magnificent temples.

The carving that you see here clearly shows us that had any kind of primary school education about the dinosaurs a stegosaurus.

Is this the proof that dinasours walked among us not so long ago?

Is this proof that someone else has been trying to misinform us of our world history?

Is this a doctored carving to use as a piece of evidence to reorder the future based on any of the above?

If you walk around Ankor you will see all kinds of renovation work taking place, using original and classical techniques that give results that could easily look authentic. There is an enormous black market out of this area for carvings and Buddhas and many more artifacts that could keep any collector excited for years. Each year they find more and more of the city disappearing deeper and deeper into the forest.

Hopefully we can find the rest of the dinosaur bones to get a better concept of reality.

Russian and British Aristocracy Celebrate Mole Clegg

The Lib dems did not manage to get the great results of “Clegg mania” they were expecting, but sitting in the middle of a hung parliment still provides them with more power they have ever had in their rather fruitless history.

As a dejected Nick Clegg sought to pick up the pieces from a bitterly disappointing night for the Lib Dems, in which they looked set to lose five seats, he restated the party with the most seats had the first right to seek form a government.

As he arrived to cheers from supporters on the steps of the Liberal Democrat headquarters in Westminster, Mr Clegg said it was now for the Tories to prove themselves capable.

He said: ‘I have said that whichever party gets the most votes and the most seats has the first right to seek to govern, either on its own or by reaching out to other parties and I stick to that view.

‘I think it is now for the Conservative Party to prove that it is capable of seeking to govern in the national interest.’

Clegg is in a unique position that any double agent could wish to be in and with a grandmother that was a Russian baroness, and her mother was the daughter of an Attorney General in the Russian Imperial Senate, he has become the new oracle to those in power at the Kremlin.

Ther skeletons in the Clegg family closet, show his great-great aunt, Moura Budberg, was almost certainly a double agent, working for both the British and the Soviet Union after the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917. Her lovers supposedly included Herbert George Wells, Maxim Gorky and Robert Bruce Lockhart, the British spy chief who inspired the James Bond stories.

Zakrevsky, his great great-grandfather, lived on a large estate in modern-day Ukraine, not far from Kiev. The crumbling estate is currently occupied by an agricultural college, but still boasts a two-storey classical mansion, annexes, and a large park. It also has a pyramid, the most blatent shrine to his illuminati roots.

Zakrevksy – like Clegg, a passionate internationalist – travelled to Egypt as ambassador in 1898. He came back with building material and ordered the brick pyramid to be built in his garden. He died in Cairo in 1906, was embalmed, taken home and buried under it.

“He was a man of liberal views and European education,” Valentina Gonchar, who runs a museum in the small village of Berezova Rudka, in the Poltava Oblast – or district – where the estate is situated, said.

“His articles on legal topics appeared in many journals at the time. He was also a leading Mason. Tsar Alexander III sacked him from the senate in 1900 after he wrote a letter to the Times in support of Alfred Dreyfus.”

According to Gonchar, the Zakrevskys fled Russia immediately after the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, with Clegg’s Russian-speaking relatives settling in Germany, France, Luxembourg and the US.

This comes at a time when almost a year ago the Russian Prosecutor General’s office did, in its own words, ‘rehabilitated’ six members of the former Russian Royal family, the Romanovs.

In a moment of huge symbolism, soldiers from Britain, France, Poland and the United States will step onto the square’s famed cobbles while Russia proudly displays nuclear-capable missiles that once threatened Western targets.  It marks victory in World War II the collapse of the Soviet Union and all new Westminster/Kremlin relations.
