Killing Joke is the best and most prescient Brexit soundtrack



See the sun turn green
From a penthouse window
It's different now
Because you got no shelter
Alienation
By experimentation
Enjoy yourself
This is your new age

Complication

Ransom the birth
Of a new destruction
It's different now
It's what we've always wanted
Alienation by experimentation
Self-destruct
At the count of ten

Complication

See the sun turn green
From a penthouse window
It's different now
Because you got no shelter
Alienation
by experimentation
Enjoy yourself
This is your new age

Complication

All lyrics written by Jaz Coleman, all music composed by Killing Joke

2010 When Attorneys General Attack
Earlier this year Topix CEO Chris Tolles got the call no one wants to get – that they were under investigation by a government entity. Two attorneys general, one of which was deep into his senate run, were leveling accusations of abuse at Topix. The company eventually settled with thirty three AGs, plus two U.S. territories. We asked Chris to tell us about his experience dealing with these people. Too often, we’ve found, the office of attorney general is used for little more than a way to advance one’s political career.

that Confederate flag / rebel thing

Archer, animated tv series
season: Archer Vice (5th season)
episode: Palace Intrigue, part II
April 7, 2014


Lana: I'm leaving. Ray, airport, let's go.

Archer: Have you lost your mind?

Ray: Seriously, I am not your servant. [Archer slapping Ray's face] Ow, quit-quit Ow, ow, goddamn it!

Archer: Not that.  Lana, in case you haven't noticed, this place is crawling with rebels.


Pam: And not the good kind you get drunk with at Myrtle Beach and cruise the strip in the bed of their monster truck with a big rebel flag on it, flinging empty longnecks at people.

Lana: Yeeeah, those aren't actually the good kind, either.

Pam: Now who's racist?

Archer: Those guys, Pam, those exact same guys you just described.

Pam: Oh. Well now I feel like an asshole.

1985 - Jello Biafra, spoke word introduction to California Über Alles

Jello Biafra, spoke word introduction to California Über Alles, 
Blue Horizon Ballroom, Philadelphia, PA 
11/17/1985

Rambozo the Clown!
America's back!
America's back!

"Hey, I love our flag. I'll fight to the death to save her. I'll beat up people who disagree with me, in the redneck American way."

Patriotic rednecks...Patriotic rednecks, they bring our country down. Down!

If you really care about our country... you care about people. Not guns, not power, people.

All people.
Rich people
Poor people
Religious and atheist
Black and white... and green
and AIDS victims.

We're all people.

But not if the "christians" have their way. Then we're not people, we're fucking cockroaches.

Are you a person or are you a cockroach?!?

I don't know about you, but I am a human being goddamnit.

This is the only country I got. I'm not into nationalism, but I'd like to hang on to what freedom we have so it doesn't become a born-again christian version of Iran.

Jello Biafra meets the Space Brothers, 1992 interview of the Unarius ufo cult




description as posted for the Youtube video by Erleen Nada

In 1992 Richard Metzger produced a show which intended to expose the stranger cultural facets of America. Popular alternative icons of the time were asked to act as hosts of the show, interviewing different people in places that fit the model for the show.

Unarius, a cult based out of El Cajon, California, which believes in the existence of UFO's, who allegedly have direct contact with the "Space Brothers," aliens, many of which live in an underground city in Mars, and who practice "Past Life Therapy," among other unique practices and beliefs, were a perfect subject for the show.

Metzger recruited Jello Biafra (original frontman for the Dead Kennedys) to do an in depth interview of Unarius, questioning members and key leaders of the movement, including their founder,"Archangel Uriel" aka Ruth Norman.

Soon after filming this interview in 1992, all of the original footage was stolen and never recovered.

In 2014 Jello Biafra gave a copy of the rough footage to his friend Erleen Nada (musician and video artist), who had a long time fascination with Unarius. Driven by a need to share this incredible interview with the world, Erleen Nada edited the footage (with Richard Metzger's approval), to make it comprehensive for public viewing, and available for viewing on the internet.

Here for the first time ever, 22 years after the filming of this show, is the fascinating interview between Jello Biafra and Unarius.

The Rumpus Interview with Efrim Menuck

 We’re all armed with so much information. But there’s this denial mechanism that sort of infiltrates everything.
