Defectivism posits a design, the Core Defective Design, and so too a designer. Therefore, Defectivism is not just a philosophy on the metaphysical structure of this universe. It is a Theology: the study of God (Fate) and God’s defective relationship to human consciousness (will) within this universe.”</p>http://thebigbattle.com/post/214863225http://thebigbattle.com/post/214863225Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:31:00 -0400<p>basically eat the heady fats to keep ur mental chi up…</p> <p><br/>“’The membranes of our neurons are composed of fat, so the quality of fat that you are eating definitely has an influence on the quality of the neuron membranes, and the body’s synthesis of neurotransmitters is dependent on the <a title="In-depth reference and news articles about Vitamins.">vitamins</a> you’re eating,’ Dr. Martinez-Gonzalez added.”</p>http://thebigbattle.com/post/214860155http://thebigbattle.com/post/214860155Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:26:00 -0400<p>pretty good excerpt from a noam chomsky interview in high times from ‘98…basically we can thank hitler, mussolini, and franco for killing the buzz and we can thank uncle sam and the godfathers for bringing it back, man.</p> <p><br/>“If you look into the history of what is called the CIA, which means the U.S. White House, its secret wars, clandestine warfare, the trail of drug production just follows. It started in France after the Second World War when the United States was essentially trying to re-institute the traditional social order, to rehabilitate Fascist collaborators, wipe out the Resistance and destroy the unions and so on. The first thing they did was re-constitute the Mafia, as strikebreakers or for other such useful services. And the Mafia doesn’t do it for fun, so there was a tradeoff: Essentially, they allowed them to re-institute the heroin-production system, which had been destroyed by the Fascists. The Fascists tended to run a pretty tight ship: They didn’t want any competition, so they wiped out the Mafia. But the U.S. re-constituted it, first in southern Italy, and then in southern France with the Corsican Mafia. That’s where the famous French Connection comes from.”</p>http://thebigbattle.com/post/214855375http://thebigbattle.com/post/214855375Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:18:37 -0400<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tzY5i4A1zgA&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tzY5i4A1zgA&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Real Life Zombie!!!</p>http://thebigbattle.com/post/214807852http://thebigbattle.com/post/214807852Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:03:10 -0400<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gAsUOZpPN9w&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gAsUOZpPN9w&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>SFPD arrests a skater for calling the officer a dick.</p>http://thebigbattle.com/post/204494871http://thebigbattle.com/post/204494871Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:28:31 -0400<a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/multimedia/2009/10/05/091005_audioslideshow_riogangster">Jon Lee Anderson on the gangs of Rio de Janeiro: Audio Slide Show : The New Yorker</a>http://thebigbattle.com/post/204485188http://thebigbattle.com/post/204485188Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:14:06 -0400<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qfmEUqmgsK4&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qfmEUqmgsK4&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Boeing Advanced Tactical Laser In Action</p>http://thebigbattle.com/post/204480180http://thebigbattle.com/post/204480180Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:06:26 -0400
