Ozzy and Out… With Rock Star Celebrity Academic Self-Parody Satire

I hope the mistYmuse helped you through the four darkest months in the northern hemisphere, and you all have a great eight months of spring, summer and early autumn/fall. Here’s a bonus blog post from Facebook this morning. You can join me there or on LinkedIn, or contact me at greengrey@gmail.com. Hope to see you for mistYmuse 2019/20 on November 21st…

Self-Parody Satire Encore

I’m going to act like the proper academic I trained to be by studying a PhD: assigning myself ‘eight months research leave’. Unfortunately without their full pay and a sexy secretary!

Possible ‘celebrity’ reactions to this new Osbournes video that you won’t see on breakfast news, after Lorraine Kelly won a tax battle against HMRC by claiming her breakfast news appearances were an act: she said she plays the nice, happy role ‘Lorraine Kelly’ persona as dictated by her bosses.
I’ve been saying this for years, and been castigated for daring to question ‘lovely celebrities’, right up to princesses Diana and Meghan.
The NZ PM is the latest who looks very fake, but it is a role she has to play! Not that I support the shooting, or think she does.
I’m in line with the left-wing and Russell Brand’s beloved Chomsky there: ‘Manufactured News’; which I read a decade before Brand was lauded for repeating it, and calling for a real revolution, leading his followers on Westminster. The NZ shooting is what a real revolution looks like Russell, who’s now enjoying life on Celebrity Bake Off!

Self-Parody Personas Reaction to Osbourne Children Video

A Lorraine Kelly ‘paedo persona’: sexy.
A Lorraine Kelly ‘white supremacist persona’: hope for the future.
A Lorraine Kelly ‘animal rights persona’: at least they’re not biting birds’ heads off!

The above is self-parody satire, and in no way reflects my real views. It’s the kind of satire seen on mainstream television satire shows, so I don’t think I’m out of line.
In my real view, I think the video is sweet, but don’t know if it should be shared online.

I also hope Ozzy gets better soon, but stops promoting and celebrating the biting of bats and birds!

Yesterday I ended the season on fmpoetry by supporting poor Amber Rudd, castigated for using the term ‘colour’ recently by Diane Abbott and the media, after Gemma Chan used it to support herself playing white roles, after all the whitewashing debate in media studies over the last decade: a debate I was basically excluded from, for being too stale, pale and male!

Australian Sunset Photos for POPolutionaries: Has Amber Heard?

I saw several stories I thought I should comment on, but then remembered I’m in the POP age now, so I should just ignore the chatter, even if Reggie Yates (will Chuku Umunna call him vile like he does Donald Trump?) and Lily Allen stories showed why I was right to criticise Russell Brand’s revolutionaries. I also watched The Riot Club recently, which I think showed the kind of revolutionary riot culture Brand stands for, and where most of his supporters come from; a kind of Marquis de Sade – Aleister Crowley do what thou wilt (rich and/or manipulative men) ethos.

If women like that then fine, but from the post-Weinstein scandal fall-out it doesn’t seem to be for most of them, although they think they have no choice at the time.

I did once joke that my L.A. metal name would be Marcy de Sad (inspired by names from bands like Guns N’ Roses, Faster Pussycat and Love/Hate), combining my name, wordplaying on Sade and incorporating my bipolarity; and I think humans should be as free as possible to do what they want, like Crowley, but without harming anything else.

My Ethical Celibacy Positive Twisted Weird Negative

In total contrast, I thought I should ask you to let Amber Heard know about this blog post, with parody comedy based on real amour (thinking Pepe Le Puy!), using the parodying Twitter viralism hashtag #hah (has amber heard), as she’s apparently in Oz now, but then thought she should know by now (Hank Melvin’s song, written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, comes to mind; by the way, I added that Jagger was particularly greenYgreying and that ‘summer’ should be changed to ‘winter’ in yesterday’s blog post; not that I prefer winter to summer, quite the opposite in fact, and for negative-greenYgrey conspiracy theorists, Jagger is still going strong, while the Starman has unfortunately passed away, albeit at the grand old age of 70; If you don’t know me by now), and must think I’m not worthy of romance. I was thinking fondly of Cressida Bonas last week too, but guess she doesn’t think of me as a true blue!

Those types of women have always been my favourites, with early versions Debbie Harry, Brigitte Bardot and Britt Eklund. I liked ABBA’s Agnetha when I was 10 because of her face and hair, not the apparently large bum she’s got; that I hadn’t even noticed until watching recent documentaries about her.

While I’ve been concentrating on sunrises over the last decade I was more of a sunset person before, due to being more of a night-owl than an early-bird. Here’s some photos I took in Australia in 1989, showing I loved natural beauty back then too, before I met all the people from the 1990s who think they’re a big influence on me, with the first one a true Blue Peter POP (PinkyOrangePurple) one I made before:

How ‘Powerful Men’ Control Masses and Women

Over the last fifteen years I seem to have been intermittently at war with powerful men like Harvey Weinstein, and the masses (students, workers and readers) have nearly always sided with them.

Russell Brand

Although Russell Brand had no further education when he launched his Revolution, and I’d spent ten years at university, graduating with a PhD, he was considered worthy of listening to, and even considered one of the most important thinkers of our time.

When the Revolution never got off the ground Brand is welcomed back into the mainstream media world as if nothing happened. Women consider him a revolutionary feminist, despite his Weinstein-style womanising, and never mentioning the grooming scandal, or even expressing any sorrow or regret for the terror attacks in London or the rest of Britain.

Workplace

As Jane Fonda said in her interview yesterday, the Weinstein boss is more the ubiquitous norm, and that’s the experience I’ve had. The managers usually control the debate, and my image in the workplace, as they’re there much more than me, and can spend hours on the telephone stirring and demonising; as well as gossiping and grooming.

They can do the same with customers in shops, and often live locally to the area they work in, whereas lower ranked workers are just visiting and passing through to work and there for less time. This refers more to my experiences in previous marketplaces I’ve worked in, with the city centre providing a more balanced location.

University

The two Heads of Department when I was doing my PhD were apparently acting like the stereotypical Weinstein boss. One got engaged to his student/secretary after a conference in Hawaii and chaperoning her, and her him, in lectures and seminars. The other staff members congratulated them, and she acted like the cat who’d got the cream, as if knowing she’d won a great prize. And she was right, fast-tracked to Professor.

When I complained I was considered either jealous of him or her.

In reality, I would have liked a good academic job at the start of my PhD, but had decided to finish as soon as possible and get out after I wasn’t upgraded straight away after the first year (when I had much less supervision than I should have, and nearly all with a trainee supervisor doing her first one, as my main one was the first Head of Department; the main examiner was the second one!), and my appeal took nearly two years to process.

She was a borderline for romance, nothing more.

Demonising the Whistleblower

Although the above are all personal, and influenced by my upbringing in the 1980s, when socialism and unions were still strong, and workers still had rights, I’ve had all kinds of demonisations thrown at me; I presume originating by those in power.

The Russell Brand fans seem to think I’m jealous of him, and/or that I’m an old right-winger, in the way of their colour Revolution! They think Islamism is the cool revolutionary thing, inspired by women who cover up, while their Saudi sisters are trying to go the other way, and other women around the world are losing their freedoms and rights to Islamism. They include white British girls of the Jordan (Katie Price) generation who only know grooming and gratification; monetary value is all, care and consideration is creepy.

Workplace managers work the staff and locals against me either by saying I’m not really one of them; a full-time company worker for staff, or a local-to-the-area person for customers. While I don’t mind those, as they are true, they also lie and spin to increase their hold on the workplace, and lessen my popularity: I don’t like the area, I don’t support the local team, I don’t like their nationality/ethnicity, I only complain because I’m a competitor for their job/grooming target, I’m interested in them sexually etc.

I think the same or similar was true in university, but they put me complaining and leaving more down to not liking the university, or because I didn’t like the city, or the class system. The latter was partially true, as I wanted to research how multiculturalism was diminishing class equality, and especially the grooming scandal that was still simmering under the surface at the time, and which would continue for another decade. I was never offered a job, as some people seem to think.

Bleak Blighty

I must admit I was looking for such scandals, being a 1960s-inspired critical theorist, but I thought the scandal and power control attitudes were only at the top, and that the masses were generally critical. Unfortunately, I’ve found the attitudes are ingrained in British and Irish culture, and that the ‘new cultures’ of multiculturalism are just as bad or worse.

Moreover, the Jordan generation seem likely to be as bad or worse, mixing the worst aspects of traditional power, Brand sexploitation and the paedophilic sexism of ‘new cultures’. The old union jobs are dying, and they are being replaced by zero contract style jobs, with no rights, and applicants forced into a ‘get the job at any costs’ outlook.

Can a bright brave new world like women are calling for after the Weinstein scandal emerge in such a culture. Not if the majority of students and workers are going to put their university or workplace brand first, and people second; and listen to the bollocks spoken by their great leaders as they try to groom them!

Harvey Weinstein, Russell Brand, British Hierarchy, Africa and the Male Norm

Russell Brand was recently in the media saying he’s skint because he’s given so much money away, being such a nice man, yet his new book is called Recovery! The last print interview I saw of his he was happy boating in posh Henley!! After his previous book was called Revolution, with masked Anonymouses (Anonymi?) calling him to lead them in a physical revolution against Westminster, maybe the third in Russell’s three Rs trilogy will be a Malcolm McLaren’s Sex Pistols-style Great Rock n’ Roll Swindle admission: Rip-Off or Rubbish.

Apparently, according to the news today, people mainly buy books to show them off on Instagram anyway!

Russell Brand and Harvey Weinstein

I don’t know if Russell Brand worked with Harvey Weinstein, but I’m sure Weinstein would have admired Brand, and therefore given him work. Brand apparently seemed like the next Jimmy Savile to some critics around him during his Revolution, but he was still worshipped and lauded by the Left and mainstream media, even though he’d obviously just read a bit of Chomsky to anybody who’d studied politics and international relations at university.

Since I complained about the Harvey Weinstein type hierarchy I’ve come into contact with my work has dried up, and I’m still in dispute with my university department over a decade after graduating.

While men treat you as either a homosexual threat or a gender traitor, some women also treat you as a weirdo if you don’t act like the Weinstein – Brand too; like the male sexist cliché to being rejected by a woman of ‘she must be a lesbian’; a tight gay b*****d if you’re not trying to buy and bed them, with continuous compliments!

When British and European men try to treat them with more care and consideration they go looking for a ‘real man’ in other cultures and races!

Scandinavia not Africa

While the British media loves to cover American black rights protests it has ignored mine against class prejudice and sexual exploitation at university and in work – some of it with the support of the ‘multicultural majority’, who consider ‘white trash’ like me in the way of their ‘revolution’.

Has Russell Brand ever complained about the U.K.’s twenty years grooming scandal, or voiced any other such concerns about sexploitation in the media or anywhere? I don’t know of any. Comparing himself favourably in bed to then chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne was about the height of his class-gender protest I can remember! Yet he’s serenaded as a great male feminist by Loose Women etc.

While there seem to be daily news reports of American black rights protests, there are very few about women crime victims, or the ‘white trash’ who are also suffering – giving a racist polarised view of what is really a gun and violence problem affecting all. While I don’t agree with unnecessary police violence against anyone, I saw a documentary about it earlier in the year that showed white people were also getting killed by trigger-happy police (understandable at times in the violent society they work), yet they hardly ever feature on news reports. As reported after the Las Vegas shooting, there were 15,000 gun deaths in the U.S.A. last year: 300 a week.

Lynyrd Skynyrd, Symbols, Africa, Caribbean etc

As immigration from Africa and Asia has increased in the U.K., so has gun crime, gang violence and sexual exploitation such as grooming; it’s not all down to immigration of course, and has always been a part of our society. I’d like to write all the world’s problems are down to Islamists, but it is not, as a horrific story from the Congo in the news today reports.

I know that’s an extreme case, but Africa is not the idyllic paradise some Africans like to make out. I’ve seen some Africans on T.V. recently wearing Africa jewellery. Lynyrd Skynyrd were criticised for displaying a Southern flag on stage, but Africans in the U.K. can wear geographical Africa jewellery as if it’s a shining example of human rights! That’s where all the people are trying to escape from!

One African woman in a debate about contraception and the Catholic Church’s opposition to it; note the Pope was this week saying Europe should do more for refugees – refugees partly caused by overpopulation because he and his church oppose birth control! – said African women weren’t going to listen to the West’s call for birth control.

Yet they expect Europe and the West to act as a release valve for overpopulation! We’ve left Africa and Asia (colonies) because that’s what they said they wanted, but now a lot of Africa and Asia seems to want to come to Europe, and especially cold wet Blighty! If you believe in a monotheistic god then you should be willing to die for it, and go to heaven or paradise; if you believe in your continent and race, then you should stay and fight for it. I know that is impossible for some people, but not all the boat-loads risking their lives to cross the Mediterranean.

I think black lives matter, but I also think that the group of that name can seem selfish, and ignores the rest of the people, such as women and white working-class, who are also victims; sometimes of the police, and sometimes of non-white people; not to mention the Native Americans whose country it really is; or the Latin Americans, Chinese and Asians who work hard and seem under-represented.

As I said a decade ago, British society and media seems to focus 90% of its prejudice focus on white against non-white racism, largely ignoring white and women victims. That’s why the white children grooming scandal went uncovered for twenty years, and why we seem to be heading towards an Africa-America social dystopia rather than a Scandinavian utopia (before all their immigration anyway – although a lot of it was apparently mythical anyway!).

It seems as if when non-white people complain about whites they are called justified heroes, when whites do the same about non-whites they are called racists!

I suffered racism and prejudice around the world while travelling, although that was dwarfed by all the good experiences, but then when I went to university in my own country I was treated as some kind of redneck who’d just arrived in the city from the hills, and needed some prejudice to get me in line – often by non-whites and their leftie-liberal supporters – who hate white western society, with Jewishness a particular bane; I’m not Jewish, but like with the Nazis nose-measuring, looks count, and they ignore or don’t know about all the great Britons in history with big noses(we even used to be known as the long-noses) or those around the Mediterranean (like Yasser Arafat for example)!

The anti-Nazi left seem to support all the opponents of Britain and the West (and Serbs, Buddhists and Hindus) such as Ireland and the Arabs, without knowing, or ignoring, that the majority of Irish and Arabs were in fact allies of the Nazis in World War Two; admittedly allied in opposition to their common enemies rather than necessarily ideological.

Gender and Race

Scandinavia always dominates the best gender, sexuality environmental and media freedom league tables, as the greenygrey world map below shows on politics, yet it hardly ever enters the news and current affairs coverage, which is nearly always dominated by Africa and the Middle-East, along with our immigration (apart from some Europeans in recent years), and the increasing claims (and instances) of ‘racism’ that mass immigration almost inevitably brings.

The more immigrants we welcome, the more racist we’ll look – with Grenfell a disaster waiting to happen.

While the British media seem to think they are doing their duty focusing on white racism, the flip side is that they omit racism against whites, and especially women; and that other prejudices such as gender obviously lose out, and are therefore likely to go backwards in society – towards Africa, Asia and the Middle-East rather than Scandinavia.

While the media focuses on white racism, ‘minority gender crimes’ such as female genital mutilation go largely unreported, and while there have been many prosecutions for white race crimes (increasing since Islamist atrocity crimes provoked retaliation) there’s been none for FGM!

Race matters, but gender doesn’t?

If Quentin Tarantino isn’t involved in the Harvey Weinstein scandal maybe he could make a movie about white slavery now to balance out the good movie, Django Unchained, as I think such Hollywood movies provide a foundation for black victimhood and white shame-hate.

It might help prevent Jihadis like Sally Jones, or Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless exclaiming she wants to be black; providing a foundation for their beliefs; topped off by the extreme videos of I.S. etc.

Race not only Prejudice

There’s a lot white history to be ashamed of, but there’s a lot of black too, and all the other hues of humanity. While I was a critical theory student inspired by the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s I’m now sick of it dominating the media agenda, while women of all colours are the bigger victims, in the U.S.A., U.K. and world.

Moreover, while lefties call for the Falklands to be given away when they weren’t populated when Britain arrived, nobody is calling for the Caribbean to be given back to the Native Americans who were living there when the Europeans and Africans (admittedly mostly as slaves originally) arrived!

I don’t call for an end to black protest and media coverage, I just call on the media to show some balance, and black protestors to consider some other victims and the under-represented; as well as residents of other countries and continents, and the environment.

Environmentalism Quotes of Electric Cars Entrepreneur Elon Musk

I provided a few quotes I found relevant for my writing by Elon Musk from his Rocket Man book yesterday, and today I have a few quotes of his on the environment, quite relevant for my theory of everything (a la Hawking cosmology) including all human history attempt a couple of blogs ago.

With reference to my assertion that we humanity can only naturally live for long in a narrow band of troposphere on this planet, and that we seem to be doing our best to poison, kill and strip it (I’d read Musk before writing it, and it may have inspired it a little, but I think Musk’s views just reiterated what I already knew and believed, but with more scientific knowledge); but many countries have now set targets to go electric on the roads, with the U.K. date 2040, while Norway is 2025, as well as targeting zero deforestation, inspiring a tweet from Musk reported in the Independent:

Geosciences, p. 73: ‘… don’t understand that there’s a surface carbon cycle, but if you dig stuff up from deep underground and add it to the surface carbon cycle, that fundamentally changes the chemical equilibrium of the  surface of the Earth.’

Carbon Tax Opponents, p. 78: ‘… they’re using tactics that are very similar to what the tobacco industry used for many years…’

Solar Power, p. 79: ‘… the world is almost entirely solar powered already. If the sun wasn’t there, we’d be a frozen ice ball at 3 degrees Kelvin. The sun powers the entire system of precipitation. The whole eco-system is solar powered… You could power the entire United States with about 150 to 200 square kilometres of solar panels… Take a corner of Utah…’

Apologies to any good salt-of-the-Earth people working in the carbon industry, such as the miners I vehemently supported in the 1980s U.K. miners’ strike, but I hope clean air jobs will replace those lost; and for British lefties that Musk doesn’t fit into the J.C.-style flower-power Cavalier Revolutionary Brand!
