Fakery in Orbit: THE I$$

[lux]

I also noticed the views out the windows behind Kelly are conveniently flared out so we can't see anything.
Another odd omission. You'd think they'd at least put a back projection there showing us the curved
Earth -- always a heart-string tugger for us dumb Earthlings. It would've also gone over so well with his stupid
word cutouts. Must have been some reason they couldn't do that (no projector setup on the Vomit Comet?)
so they just pointed some lights at the "windows" and let it go.

[nonhocapito]

It is absolutely impossible for the light outside to never change while the ISS runs around the earth. Without even considering that the observation deck is supposedly pointed at the earth, not at the sun (yeah, forget the contradictory statements according to which the ISS "spins on itself": all videos document complete steadiness of its alleged flight path).

But even imagining a lot of post production (duh) it remains that this video appears to be filmed and photographed by professionals. But there are no professional cameramen on the ISS, aren't there: supposedly, only fellow scientists.

This would be a complete joke, if the "one world nation" propaganda didn't make it actually not funny.


Is this an astronaut or a fool?

Why the actornaut seem to jump up and down and back and forth as he reaches for the half words? With the 9th piece, "Beau", it is particularly noticeable.

oh, I get it... 9 "beau" 11 "day"...

* * * "U2" digression * * *

The song "Beautiful day" by the propaganda band U2 is (I believe) an anthem in honor of the then upcoming events of 9/11. The song came out in 2000, the album cover shows the band at the De Gaulle airport with the J33-3 departure sign at their back, which Wickedpedia explains to be coming from Jeremiah 33:3, "Call unto me and I will answer thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not." Whatever.


Coincidentally the expression "to leave behind" will be linked to George Bush as well, because of his "leave no child behind" act, incidentally the reason why he was in Sarasota on 9/11 for his educational program.

Here are a few excerpts from the lyrics of "Beautiful Day":

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground <= skyscrapers downtown
There's no room, no space to rent in this town <= silverstin, better clear up some room!
Sky falls, you feel like It's a beautiful day <= why the sky falling would make this day beautiful?
You love this town even if that doesn't ring true. <= what exactly is not ringing true?

This has probably already been noticed, anyway: The "All that you can't leave behind" album contains 11th songs.
The 9th song is called "When I Look At The World", and it contains these verses:

I'm in the waiting room / I can't see for the smoke / I think of you and your holy book / When the rest of us choke.

Finally let's not forget the Superbowl 2002:

Following the Elevation Tour proper, the band performed a three-song set during the halftime of Super Bowl XXXVI. The set opened with "Beautiful Day," with Bono entering through the crowd. Next was "MLK". The highlight was a performance of "Where the Streets Have No Name" in which the names of the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks were projected onto a tall backdrop, scrolling up towards the sky. At the end of the song the backdrop was released, descending to the ground in a gentle revisiting of the World Trade Center's fall. Bono then opened his jacket, which he had worn throughout the Elevation Tour, to reveal the American flag printed as the lining, an image that was widely reproduced in the media. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevation_Tour

No, "die-in-a-lie" doesn't seem to be in the list. Too bad.

[fbenario]

I don't think I've ever come to despise a band, and a lead singer, as much as I have U2 over the last 15 years. What charlatans - and all for the love of money and fame, and critical respect.

I was one of their first American fans, from before any of their stuff was released domestically. I had an import copy of their first album, Boy, before its U.S. release, and spent my Thanksgiving vacation 2nd year of college in 1980 alone in a dormitory playing it repeatedly. And then they came to a local nightclub one week later. Here's the comment I posted under this video on the Wolfgang's Vault site.

I was at their 2nd-ever US concert, The Bayou, Georgetown, Washington, D.C., on December 7, 1980. I went with a friend from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Bellew Sean McManus. We were there when the doors opened at 6 PM, immediately claimed a table up front, and sat down. A few minutes later, 4 scared-looking young guys came in. My friend heard their accent and immediately called out, "Hey Bono!" When those 4 guys heard a familiar Irish accent their faces lit up, and they came over and sat down. I actually talked to Bono for 15 minutes before their 2nd-ever US show!

And Lo the twin towers themselves shalt appeareth ! But wait...'A' plane approacheth! Eyed up yonder steadfastly by pig eyed sheepherder a miracle unfolds! holy of holys the word 'beautiful' gusheth out (or gusheth in) from zone of impact.
Protect us from all anxieties conspiratorially ! Praise be to the Lord (bono)!

[Maat]

I don't believe perp puppets like U2 are really consciously aware of how they're being used, simply seduced and blinded by their desire for recognition, fame and a feeling of importance. No doubt believing they do 'good' with their 'humanitarian' causes. Basically just very "useful idiots" — hardly likely to be 'in on' any actual plans of the PIC (Pigs In Charge)

As for the Kelly word-game special FX, there's obviously no need for any time consuming or complicated logistics (like the 'vomit comet') to create a weightless illusion — and not a very good one at that — when all he's doing is hanging upside-down (puffy faced, duh) and releasing paper cards. The rest is video edits & shoop FX with animated cards that they couldn't even get right (remember the inverted hand of that Norway vicsim?)

In case anyone missed it, the mirror writing 'oops' pics are in my post of yesterday (before the thread page changed)

I also think the back-lighting was done that way to give the effect of sunlight without any 'blue earth' that might distract from the PsyOp's main message — as well as disguising his 'suspended' face in shadow

[nonhocapito]

In case anyone missed it, the mirror writing 'oops' is in my post of yesterday (before the thread page changed)

I considered it, Maat, and I am not sure that I am seeing what you see. The letters "ION" are upside down, and this is consistent with the spinning of the word "NATION" that we see happening (in fact, you simply flipped the image vertically to make it read right).

It is confusing that the backing strip should appear at the front at that point, not again at the back, which, you're right, seems truly odd.



On the other hand we are not seeing the front mirrored here, because the dark lines are missing. Actually the same thing happens at the beginning, with "7 Bil"



The thing is that the backing strip does not appear to run all the way to the back.
At the moment I have come to the conclusion that this is not a backing strip per se, upon which the letters have been glued: but rather a single piece of cutout paper where the lines have been printed.
In other words, when the piece spins, we see the backing strip as being in the back, only because the paper on the other side is printed in dark grey.

Not that this diminishes in any way the absurdity of what we are seeing.

Ah, I'm sorry Nonho, my referring to it as a 'backing strip' to indicate where to look seems to have confused what I was trying to explain. That was a descriptive term to see the outline of the letters for comparison, and how they are shown to be read. It is the last 3 letters of NATION you can see at the edge (with just the bottom edge of the 'A').

However, regardless of whether they are stencil cut, pasted or painted, turning letters upside down only (like the 7-BIL] cannot make a mirror image, i.e. back-to-front. English ain't Russian

I realize I should have added this first flip image in the sequence before 180 rotation to make it easier to follow:

EDIT 2 add: Notice in this horizontal FLIP that the ATION is now showing correctly as it should when upside-down — but the rest of the scene is reversed!





P.S. I know it's a mind-bender, Nonho, but remembering the N is supposed be at the end of the word might help

[nonhocapito]

I'm not sure I'm following Maat!

Isn't this image:



simply flipped vertically here?



Now the writing reads correctly. Doesn't this show that the "nation" cutout simply flipped on itself floating around...? The video shows the cutout flipping and not simply rotating. In fact we see the back here, and not the front. Or am I being very stupid...?

Re: U2 - Puppets or not, they are canny enough to live in Ireland.
Why?
Because as artistes, they are exempt from taxation on their 'work' as given below in the Irish Tax Act below:
Also see link http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/reliefs ... ption.html

Guidelines
Introduction

Guidelines were drawn up in 1994 to determine whether works falling to be considered under Section 195, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 are original and creative works and whether they have, or are generally recognised as having, cultural or artistic merit.
General

Section 195, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 provides that a work for the purpose of the Section is an original and creative work in one of the following categories:
a book or other writing;
a play;
a musical composition;
a painting or other picture;
a sculpture.
Revenue may determine such a work to have, or to be generally recognised as having, cultural or artistic merit.

In broad terms, therefore, in order to secure exemption under Section 195, a work has to be both original and creative and to have either cultural merit or artistic merit.
In order to be granted a determination under Section 195, it is not necessary for a work to have both cultural and artistic merit - the presence of either quality is sufficient.
In applying these guidelines, Revenue may, as provided for in Section 195, consult with such person or body of persons as may, in their opinion provide authoritative assistance to them in establishing whether a work is a qualifying work for the purposes of Section 195
Back to Top

Definitions
Cultural or artistic merit

A work has cultural merit if its contemplation enhances the quality of individual or social life by virtue of that work's intellectual, spiritual or aesthetic form and content.
A work has artistic merit when its combined form and content enhances or intensifies the aesthetic apprehension of those who experience or contemplate it.
Original and Creative

For the purpose of a determination under Section 195, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 the term "original and creative" encompasses any unique work which is brought into existence for the first time as an independent entity by the exercise of its creator's imagination.
A non-fiction work in category (a), a book or other writing, will be considered original and creative only if,
It comes within one of the categories cited in Appendix A, and
The essence of the work is the presentation of the author's own ideas or insights in relation to the subject matter, and the ideas or insights are of such significance that the work would be regarded as a pioneering work casting new light on its subject matter or changing the generally accepted understanding of the subject matter.
Exclusions from the compass of "original and creative"
The following types of work in the categories set out in Section 195, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 will NOT be regarded as coming within the compass of "original and creative".
A Book or other writing, notwithstanding paragraph 9, above
A book or other writing published primarily for, or which is or will be used primarily by, students pursuing a course of study or persons engaged in any trade, profession, vocation or branch of learning as an aid to professional or other practice in connection with the trade, profession, vocation or branch of learning.
An article or series of articles published in a newspaper, magazine, book or elsewhere - except a book consisting of a series of articles by the same author connected by a common theme and therefore capable of existing independently in its own right.
A Play
Types or kinds of plays written for advertising purposes which do not exist independently in their own right by reason of quality or duration.
A Musical Composition
Types or kinds of musical compositions written for advertising purposes which do not exist independently in their own right by reason of quality or duration. Arrangements, adaptations and versions of musical compositions by a person other than a bona fida composer who is also actively engaged in musical composition.
A Painting or like picture
Types or kinds of photographs or drawings (other than a set or sets of photographs or drawings that are collectively created for an artistic purpose) which are mainly of record, or which serve a utilitarian function, or which would not exist independently in their own right by reason of quality or by reference to their potentiality for inclusion as part of an art exhibition.
A Sculpture
Types or kinds of objects which are primarily functional in nature, objects produced by processes other than by hand, objects produced by hand by persons other than those actively engaged as bona fide artists in the field of visual arts.

"Yes, let's reduce third world debt whilst I pay no taxes" I wonder when their song of that title is coming out?

Now the writing reads correctly. Doesn't this show that the "nation" cutout simply flipped on itself floating around...? The video shows the cutout flipping and not simply rotating. In fact we see the back here, and not the front. Or am I being very stupid...?

Ok, I think I just recognized why the 'backing strip' effect, as depicted to outline the letters forward, is really relevant. The left-to-right facing N (of NATION) is rendered as if on the front of a backing strip (in relief &/or outlined) — as the others are. That is why it should not be showing it as forward or in front when it is vertically flipped.



Also the fact that it defies all practical sense of how simple stenciled word cards would be made in reality; so complex with a strip sandwiched between a back and front part of each letter, FFS? Just proves it IS CGI to me! Does that make better sense?
Sorry for being so useless at explaining the ridiculous anomalies I'm seeing in their crappy, inconsistent CGI feckery!

BTW, I found the wedding ring. He's wearing it on a cord around his neck. It pops out from behind his head (under his right ear) briefly during the word cutout thing.

Also BTW, I don't see the words as being CGI nor Kelly hanging upside down. For one thing he'd be hanging at an angle and bent at the waist while manipulating objects. It would be awkward as hell. But, if he is upside down and if the words are CGI then the cord around his neck would have to be CGI too.

I don't completely rule out CGI but it just doesn't look like it to me. Except for the "interference" which is fake of course. The interference seems to be trying to convince us they are in space which makes me think they must not be or they wouldn't be trying to convince us. That's why I made the Vomit Comet conclusion.

There are tons of "weightless astronaut" videos with floating objects. It's not a big deal for them to do it. Whether they're really done in space is another matter but I think the weightlessness is either real or simulated via Vomit Comet or other means.

Yeah I tend to agree with you, the videos from the interiors of the ISS and shuttle do look particularly "believable" so to speak. This has been discussed before and a lot of hypotheses have been made. From CGI to "magic" tricks a la Copperfield with invisible threads, from filming missions inside high-altitude planes to them having a filming studio capable of re-creating weightlessness with magnets or the vomit comet or something. Let's not forget the wide array of "scenes" that the actornauts have been played over the years. We even had a guy playing a trumpet on the ISS... sometimes, with certain scenes, CGI appears the most obvious possibility. Some other times, when you have dozens of objects floating around and three or four different actors at play, it does seems difficult. It remains that the videos are fake. So methinks we'll figure it out sooner or later.

[Terence.drew]

NASA have fired their previous animators. This video clip of Kelly by the new animators is quite slick and is very much in line with NASA's new 'add stars to the photos' policy of this year.

However their new efforts are even more see through and pathetic.

Here is Kelly before his bout of verbal diarrhea and just before a blast of 'interference. Lets call this 'Kelly1 pic'



Enter interference. The original clips cuts to this grainy effect for a few frames...

I made this photo below in photoshop from the 'kelly1pic' using the following filter MEZZOTINT-GRAINY DOTS. You can find this effect in the PIXELATE collection.. I thought it was the film grain filter but it is not.

The 'interference' then continues in the original clip for another few frames turning into this lined effect ...

I made this photo below in photoshop from 'keely1pic' using the following filter MEZZOTINT - SHORT STROKES(PIXELATE). I thought it was crayon or some other filter but it is this one.




more 'interference' later with new shockingly obvious and transparent filter effect...

with this frame following the one above...the word 'nation', floating upwards in the frame above, is now at the bottom of the screen


My take on U2 is as follows. Like in the film 'Trading Places', perps enjoy and get a kick out of turning once talents and outspoken people into their own Satan's little helpers through the process of drip feeding their egos and plying them with money. Think of all the grammys U2 have won and as Simon rightly points out above Bonos little visits to the white house etc. Same goes for the other Irish walking embarrassment SIR bob Geldof. Same goes for politicians.
The biggest risk to perps are well known people speaking the truth. They must replace the natural cultural dialogue with their own form of culture dialogue populated with their automatons and superblands.
