The Cove

Several months ago I wrote Don Webb about a documentary I had just seen at the Melbourne Internationa Film Festival: the eco-thriller The Cove. We talked about Arkte, Runa, the scientist John C. Lilly, the media's power to construct and shape social realities, and exchanged anecdotes about dolphins and other cetaceans.


 


Tonight, The Cove won the Best Documentary Oscar at the 82nd Academy Awards, beating out Food, Inc and Burma VJ, which are also worth seeing. National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos and dolphin activist Ric O'Barry attended the Academy Awards ceremony (Psihoyos' acceptance speech was cut short). To learn more, visit the sites for the Oceanic Preservation Society (Psihoyos), and the Earth Island Institute and Save Dolphins Japan (O'Barry).

New RfR Talks

New RfR Talks The incomparable Geoff has reviewed two new Radio free RUNA talks now available at
http://edred.net/community/index.php?t=browse_vault

RFR #70 - ALU (25:45)

The book ALU, a very exciting project hinted at in earlier RFRs, is nearing completion. Edred talks some about its place, scope and methods.

"A decades in the making follow-up to FUTHARK, if I were to write FUTHARK today, how would I write it?...it would be ALU."

To illustrate this book is no re-hash, he reads material on a couple of Runes and promises to return again on future broadcasts. The depth of research and synthesis is stunning. Polarian Method? Damned right, and then some!

Personally I can't wait for this book. It literally goes where no other has.

Listen to this one with your ears on.


RFR #71 - "Texas, Our Texas" (31:49)

This one gets its name from the state song of Texas because of the little story Edred uses as a symbol for a larger sickness. As he discovered, the UT Austin campus apparently no longer hosts a Texas Independence Day celebration because, in the words of one of the faithful, "someone complained".

Political correctness, topic of a great past RFR (#37), is around everywhere. Here's a recent blog by "Steven", on a Daily Texan (student newspaper) blogspot:

"The Declaration of Independence was written by racist George Campbell Childress from Tennessee who was a friend of Andrew 'Indian Killer' Jackson. Anglo-American immigrants were invited into the new Mexican nation but didn't want to obey the laws here and rebelled against their adopted country. The Alamo 'heroes' were really a bunch of mercenaries and adventurers who fought for power and glory. Then the illegal, unjust U.S.-Mexican War was waged as part of the European idea of Manifest Destiny to continue to expand to the West and become larger and more powerful. There is so much of Texas history that some people simply don't want to hear about. It just feels too good to believe we have a glorious and heroic past, why spoil it what the ugly truth."

Edred begs to differ - to say the least - offers some reasons why he feels this way, and some timely ideas about real agendas. Things are rarely as they seem. Hail Edred!

By the way, adjacent to this blog entry was a link to the headline "Majority of Students Believe Humans, Dinosuars Coexisted".


A look at the Law of Nine and 'Reality TV'

A look at the Law of Nine and 'Reality TV'

There are several ideas/projects I am currently working on, and a few of which I will be posting here to give back to the community here and what everyone else offers, as well as just the need to send ideas out into the world.


This is an exploration into the Law of Nine and Cycles of Nine in relation to an observed and current event.  Whether or not this event is the direct result of a directed Working is of no real consequence, it can help with understanding certain aspects of these cycles (and other cycles) as well as the importance of timing within larger cycles and thinking of how one's actions can be best suited at a particular moment.


Also just thought it was an interesting parallel.


The article is behind the"read more" link below all this text.


For anyone interested I have various music I've been working on uploading here, most are older sketches and experiments I have worked on, with a wide range of sounds and lengths (some may be 1 minute long, some may be 7 minutes long).


You can find those here : http://edred.net/community/members/460/vault.php


At the moment I have been working on a new piece, which I've put an early version up for free download here : http://edred.net/community/members/460/vault.php?p=9


This will be expanded and uploaded in the future.


I'd like to thank everyone else who contributes here and Edred and Waldo for setting up and maintaining this community, reading the posts of everyone else on here has been of beyond value.


Also I recommend checking out Waldo's "Matrix Logic & the Runes" if you're so inclined, it's just given me a lot to think about and the implications are far reaching if you look into what is being explored there.  You can find that here : http://edred.net/community/members/4/vault.php


Also check out Waldo's 'Paradox Games', based on reading Matrix Logic and the Runes it should be quite interesting!


Feedback or thoughts on music or the article I'm posting here greatly appreciated.  Hope it can help spread some ideas, thoughts, inspiration, and entertainment.


Xeper!
