… [ another XLT giacomo-carmagnola remix, click to enlarge } … We’d really like to move on to serious strategical thinking, but that last round of debates just needs to be dissected ( and disarmed ) … “Having the last US Selections debate moderated by Fox News is a little like having Hitler’s right and only ball ask […]

{ 1936 Berlin } … … { Dreams Rewired, 2015 } … ” Connection so fascinates us in our wired-in, modern times, but hardly any film has been able to speak inventively about it. Precautionary tales like “Disconnect” or “Men, Women & Children” have gone in one ear and out the other, no different from tedious Facebook posts griping that our phone usage must be the downfall of all communication. The irony of disconnection through connected tech proves too easy, the nostalgia for non-wired-in days too shallow.

… “Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate” “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. ” - from The Inferno, the first part of Dante Alighieri’s 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. ” Are we having fun yet ? ” - Zippy the Pinhead comics, at the end of a bloody 20th century ………. Dear friends of arts, activism and “psycho-media” analysis, Times are looking hard, something between divine comedy and daily cartoons in hell, but we should – at the very least – be ready with some counter-proposals to the dreadful futures being prepared for us by the current coalition of willing idiocracies !

… { One of 1,000s of biting viral memes, expressing voter frustrations } Strategies for Turtle Islands Part 3 – The Media ( p.1 + p.2 ) … Naturally we’d like to just move on to discussing what movements are arising in solidarity to steer planetary consciousness away from the US “selectoral” trainwreck and onward to face practical on-the-ground challenges for both local communities and global inhabitants, and not just humans in the Anthropocene scenarios, but all our relations. The activated indigenous cultures ( repeatedly threatened by colonialism, displacement, slavery, genocides… ) are really at the forefront of holistic and revolutionary thinking, because frankly they are just NOT as invested in, or as much suckers to, the seductive + delusional practices/promises of the corporate brain-tap and nation-state agendas.

… < TBA > CiTiZEN KiNO #57+58+59 : Strategies for Turtle Islands Coming Soon ! We’re getting excited about this ! _______________________________________________ proposal: ( YOU are all welcomed to invite the project to YOUR local habitat ! ) Provide an overall summary of your campaign/project CiTiZEN KiNO is an initiative to create a new relationship to our rapidly “shifty” media environments. We experiment with a combination of online participation ( social media platforms ) and social gatherings (various local and neighborhood venues) which begin as a cinema environment, but which ultimately are transformed into realtime public forums.

… Originally we wanted to do a piece entitled ” The XLterrestrials Guide to U.$. $elections ” to help people navigate the mindfuck created by entirely fraudulent, coporate-massaged s-elections. But given the recent extraordinary standoff in Dakota – #NODAPL – against the Oiligarchy’s ever-expanding pipeline(s) to the great ecocide, a “parallel politics” arises which supersedes any critical analysis of the surrender ( and coercions ) into lesser evilism and the usual exercises of total democratic failure. More vital, urgent and engaging Post-Electoral strategies are already being born !
