      <title>Grant Morrison's latest comicbook sigil</title>
      <link>http://grantmorrison.tribe.net/thread/20c6b536-c91f-4a4e-8e59-72373540be99</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I know that he likes to put himself in comics for magical purposes, as he did in The Invisibles. In some interviews he related the results of that experiment. Now he has put himself in Batman#666 as The Batman himself. What do you think will happen him? Anyone know how to reach him? I'm interested to know what the results of his latest magical operation will be this time.  Maybe someone could ask on barbelith.com. &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Final Crisis exit interview</title>
      <link>http://grantmorrison.tribe.net/thread/fbc47d2e-8eb5-45fe-a565-0e933e91c21d</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;"It’s one of the most highly-structured and demanding pieces of work I’ve done and brings to fruition a lot of long-time obsessions, I suppose. It’s my Monitor-vision, high-altitude view of the DCU as an entity; before I take a long-awaited break to do some other work. It’s my sci-fi/horror version of everything I love about DC, everything I ever thought or felt about DC, in one book. It’s about the confusion and excitement of getting into this wild, colourful fictional continuum as a kid, and it’s an attempt to define what makes DC unique and vibrant in relation to other superhero universes. It also offers a full cosmology of higher dimensions, including our own, and an insight into the creative impulse of God, so it’s well worth the cover price, I like to think. It’s filled with interesting and life-changing occult and philosophical secrets too and the more you read it, the more you’ll pick up on them."

      <title>Grant On All Star SUPERMAN [Originally Posted in SUPERMAN tribe]</title>
      <link>http://grantmorrison.tribe.net/thread/531ded93-7846-47f3-a992-c6cc46c6c5ad</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;All-Star Superman 
&lt;br/&gt;"He was perched with one knee drawn up, chin resting on his arms. He looked totally relaxed...and I suddenly realized this was how Superman would sit. He wouldn't puff out his chest or posture heroically, he would be totally chilled. If nothing can hurt you, you can afford to be cool. A man like Superman would never have to tense against the cold; never have to flinch in the face of a blow. He would be completely laid back, un-tense. With this image of Superman relaxing on a cloud looking out for us all in my head, I rushed back to my hotel room and filled dozens of pages of my notebook with notes and drawings." 
&lt;br/&gt;—Grant Morrison, on his meeting with Superman. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All-Star: The concept behind All-Stars is to get the hottest, fan-friendliest writers and artists to do their interpretations of classic DC characters in their classic scenarios, free of the restraints of current post-Crisis continuities. If you haven't read DC books in years, you'll immediately feel comfortable with All-Star books. At the same time, these books will look and feel like 2005 publications. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Grant Morrison writes: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All-Star is not about continuity—it's about about telling new stories for a very different audience we've got now because they're reading manga and adults are looking at superhero movies. 
&lt;br/&gt;Frank and I are keeping modern sensibilities in mind while trying to make sure that each of our stories addresses some basic human fear or need in a big, colorful, comic book way. We hope to produce a collection of science fiction folk tales with Superman at the heart of them. I like to think of these stories as 'relevant' to the human condition although not necessarily relevant to the current headlines, if you see what I mean. The All-Star Superman is intended to appeal to a wide audience of diverse people for a long time, like the Greek myths. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We're using the leeway the All-Star concept gives us to take the best elements from every era of Superman and use them to build a whole new world and direction for the character. I'm certainly looking at this as my definitive statement. After Superman, I have no mainstream comics work lined up. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dan wanted this to be 'Original' Superman, 'Classic' Superman basically—more like a movie or the animated version where the set-ups are the familiar ones most people know—i.e. Lois doesn't realize Clark is Superman, Jimmy Olsen is a cub reporter etc. Back in 1999, however, one of the lynchpins of my Superman 2000 pitch was to make the married Superman scenario work as well as the previous Lois/Clark/Superman triangle had. Mark Waid and I argued over this at length, believe me, with Waid—that arch iconcoclast—coming down, for a change, on the side of tradition. With All-Star Superman, I think I've come up with a whole new approach to the Lois, Clark and Superman too relationship, so I'll leave it at that until you see how it plays out in the books. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We deal with the entire origin sequence using four panels on page one of our first issue, in a way I think fans will find amusing. My only rule with Superman is that he does not kill. That's the essential core. He always finds a way to solve every single problem without anyone being hurt. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There are a few little bits and pieces left over from the aborted Superman 2000 pitch which I came up with but this is something new and most of this material was put together over the last two years. My comics tend to be inspired by whatever's going on in my life and in the world at the time and Superman is no exception. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Comic books have changed and my ideas are constantly evolving and changing with the times. The best Superman idea I ever had, I gave to Mark Millar for the conclusion of Red Son, so I've been forced to try even harder to do something even better here. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The first issue "Faster..." starts with Superman attempting to rescue the first manned spaced mission to the sun. Some astronauts have tried to land, so he has to go rescue them. His solar cells become super charged by an overdose of solar radiation. They're designed to absorb solar radiation, but this time, because of the amount and the proximity, he's overdone it. There is a fatal chain reaction in his cell structure and his cells begin to self-destruct. He finds out he has a year to live. P.R.O.J.E.C.T. specialists race to create a new Superman. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The whole thing starts with Superman: "Okay, what do I do now"? It's a big science fiction story about Superman's death and what he'd do if he thought he was dying. It's also Luthor's biggest scheme—he's in prison in the first issue, and that's exactly where he wants to be. It's all worked out, there are lots of twists and turns. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The first issue ends with Superman revealing his identity to Lois and the second one has this take on the Lois and Clark relationship that no one nas ever done before. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Issue #2 is the 'Lois-Lane-in-the-Fortress' issue of All-Star. It's the Lois we all love—shrewd, witty, romantic, tough...and obsessively trying to crack the secrets of Superman's civilian identity. The Fortress is stuffed with a ton of new toys and gets haunted by the bandaged ghost of the Unknown Superman of 4500 AD. The Kandorians finally get out of that bottle. Superman gets a new power. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Issue #3 is 'Lois Lane--Superwoman!' so dig it. Lois is a complex and fascinating character, that's all I'll say until the book comes out. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Clark Kent winds up sharing a prison cell with Lex Luthor in issue #5. The Bizarro Cube Earth invades our world in an epic 2-part adventure (no 'decompression' here!) and we're recasting the Bizarros as a frightening, unstoppable zombie-plague style menace. The Bizarros are a lot more predatory in All-Star and their touch is infectious. It's a 'zombie apocalypse' approach to the Bizarro concept and the idea of an unstopable plague of backwards-talking idiocy sweeping across the globe seems ironically amusing right now. Bizarro Jor-El and the Bizarro JLA turn up in the second part of that story too. What else? We meet Earth's replacement Superman and Clark Kent takes on a new superhero identity... Ten of the 12 issues are complete short stories in 22 pages, so lots of stuff happens. And it all links together as a maxi-arc or whatever they call them these days, entitled 'The 12 Labors of Superman'. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In All-Star, Superman doesn't talk much. He just shows up and saves the day and then leaves. He's more like the early Superman in that sense. He saves the day and doesn't give speeches on what's right and wrong. To me, he's a big folk hero. He's been around forever. He's like Paul Bunyan or Johnny Appleseed and here I'm allowed to tell new stories of these amazing folk heroes. You've got to make Superman about a few things. It's got to be about big emotions and big human feelings like death and loss and bereavement and grief and joy. Then you weave those weird sci-fi stories around those themes. I think those are the best Superman stories—the ones about human feelings but on a huge, cosmic, ridiculous, superhero canvas. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We're changing his costume slightly...the symbol slightly. And for a small part of it, he won't have those red trunks on. I mean, we all want to see it. We all want to know, "Would he look really cool without the trunks?" 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;No one has ever done Clark Kent to Superman; showing the difference between these two guys. And Frank can do it. He can do the body language in a way you've never seen it. You'll actually see his whole posture change and his paunch disappear and his three chins disappear. This is a complete transformation. This is like Jekyll and Hyde. We've never seen it before in 70 years of Superman. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ma &amp;amp; Pa Kent—one dead. We're going with the version where Pa Kent has died. That's the day Superboy becomes a man. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We've got a very different version of Lois. This is a Lois who's been through a lot. Superman's been lying to her for years. When she gets the real story in the first issue, she doesn't necessarily believe what he tells her. It's clearly a different dynamic. Lois and Clark are kind of seen as Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Lois likes Clark because he's smart and witty. Even though he's a big farm boy, he knows things; she can talk to him. There are really two Clark Kents. There's Clark on the farm and then Clark acting in Metropolis. The Clark I like is middle-America values and he applies those to morality. There's the new Clark Kent; he's interesting. He's the one I like. The bumbling Clark Kent is Superman acting. Every time he knocks something over he's doing it to save somebody. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Superman's pal has to be the coolest guy on Earth. We're doing Olsen as the guy every teenage boy wants to be—smart, fearless, funny, a big hit with the girls, a good loser, a great fighter, an action correspondent on the sexiest newspaper in town and best friend of Superman! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Luthor is the part of us that's the most evil, the most human, and the most brilliant. He's never managed to get rid of Superman because deep down he knows that when he does, he'll be forced to prove himself to the world...and be found wanting. This is the subconscious engine that drives his hatred of his nemesis. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The rest of Superman's Rogues Gallery is pretty weak, so I've tried to add some characters I think might enhance the mix. Solaris, the Tyrant Sun from the DC 1 Million series gets a makeover and a return visit, and I figured Superman could use a 'Subhuman' counterpart, so I've created Krull, an evolved dinosaur dictator who rules a monstrous civilization at the center of the earth. He's only in the story for a few pages but the concept is strong and feels like one that could be used again. Then there's the Abominable Snowman, a tragic scientist who's a bit like a refrigerated Incredible Hulk and turns up for a couple of pages. Superman needs some good tough monsters to fight, so I've tried to think along those lines. In most cases, the villains only get walk-on roles in this one, however. Overall, the series is more about Superman's relationships with his friends and with the world than anything else. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;People know my stuff and I'm sure they can guess what to expect. It's going to be big, bold sci-fi Superman for 12 issues. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;- Grant Morrison &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes</title>
      <link>http://grantmorrison.tribe.net/thread/180845e8-6c29-4738-abaa-9c44ca07915a</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Deepak Chopra and Grant Morrison explore the social subconscious.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thursday at the San Diego Comic-Con brought an intriguing collaboration. Grant Morrison and Deepak Chopra, having met for the first time the previous night, had a discussion about the role superheroes play in the social fabric.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A superhero is "symbolic expression of the social subconscious," according to Chopra. "The superhero is a mythological being" who exists "beyond outerspace and innerspace, creating a new idea of being."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Even deconstructing superheroes, a '90s movement fronted by the likes of Morrison, "comes from fear," according to the comics writer. "People are scared to be hopeful." And though writers and society pummeled Superman, he persevered and the core character survived for the new era of comics just now emerging.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Chopra suggested that the seven spiritual laws could mirror the seven chakras. "A Chakra is a junction point between consciousness and reality," Chopra explained before leading the audience through all seven.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"First chakra - Stability. Infinite centered awareness and dynamism.
&lt;br/&gt;Second chakra - Transformation. An absolute allegiance to transformation. Willingness not to have a permanent identity
&lt;br/&gt;Third - Power. Not in the sense of muscle, but in intention.
&lt;br/&gt;Fourth -- Love and compassion. Nothing better it is integrated with the rest of the Chakras.
&lt;br/&gt;Fifth - Creativity. Always creative solutions.
&lt;br/&gt;Sixth - Intuition.
&lt;br/&gt;Seventh - Transcendence."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The seven chakras can also be linked to the idea of seven gods, a theme that clearly parallels the seven main characters of the JLA.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Look at the JLA," Morrison said. "They all map on the chakras. Batman is a human being of ultimate power [and intention.] Flash is communication. Superman is about giving selflessly He represents the sun. He is that thing that loves us unconditionally." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He added later that "Batman is like Christ harrowing Hell, because only he can withstand it. He endures everything for us. Batman is a character who was almost brought to the brink of his destruction," but who persevered. Batman is our shadow and "we have to look at the shadow and integrate the shadow [into our consciousness]."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And "yeah," Morrison admitted, Seven soldiers is an allegory to seven gods. "Mr. Miracle is the transcendent character," the seventh Chakra.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Superheroes are our new mythology. They are not so different from the Greek Gods, who were not as deeply seeded in religion as some may think. But what is mythology on a deeper level?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As Deepak Chopra asserts, a mythology "must address the collective consciousness in a certain archetypal way. It must offer an idealist vision to aspire [towards]." He added that, "a good story should never end and good guys should never win."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"There are six plots that people retell," Morrison said. "These stories are told again and again."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Myth is related to the word mother. As Chopra called it, "the womb of creation." Myth is not just hokey stories that explain why the sun rises and falls. That's a very simplistic view. To put it poetically, myths are where "we express our deepest longing and aspirations of collective being." Myth is a social experience beyond genetic codes or organized religions. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The human story is about a quest, falling down, but getting up again," Chopra said. "Death and rebirth. It's about redeeming yourself and then redeeming others."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our existence is still young in the eyes of the universe. "In many ways," Chopra said, "we are reaching puberty. There's a lot of curiosity, mistakes, risk-taking. But it is an exciting time." One full of possibilities, though there are certain to be some growing pains. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Chopra proposed that our current destructive nature may not mean the end of human existence. In fact, it could be part of the natural order of evolution. "The are no fossil records of the evolutionary transition between lizard and bird." It happened, but we have no true proof, just as we cannot find the missing link between ape and man. Chopra suggested that it is possible a species can experience a "creative quantum leap."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Think of a caterpillar. "A caterpillar consumes more than it needs to eat until it reaches a point where its body begins to decay and die. Imaginal cells cluster. The send communications to each other. The caterpillar is imagining a new entity. [The imaginal cells] use the dying carcass of the caterpillar to feed. A dormant gene awakens and the dying caterpillar becomes a butterfly, a completely new creature."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now consider that "cloning, tinkering with the intelligence of the universe," are "ideas that existed in ancient mythologies." Yesterday's mythologies are today's science.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So think of our modern myths. Think of the superhero. "Look at destruction of environment," Morrison said. Look at what has become of our world and our society. "We are the imaginal cells."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Chopra put it plainly. "Superheroes may be a prelude to an actual leap in our evolution," as our social conscious has the knowledge of the possibility of flight and other incredible, superhuman feats.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>HAVE MORRISON'S COMICS INFLUENCED YOUR DREAMS?</title>
      <link>http://grantmorrison.tribe.net/thread/37492505-92e9-4fd6-8c03-b936ea9bf61a</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;yes! the other night i had a dream about Mason Lang from The Invisibles. he'd captured &amp;amp; was interrogating an agent of the Archons. this agent was a phoney guru intent on mentally controlling rather than enlightening people. to prepare, Mason had drank some of the liquid that he had first sampled as a child during his "alien abduction" experience, thus enabling him to see into the enemy agent's mind. he finds, however, that past a certain point, the enemy agent has put impassable barriers much in the way that Gideon put up similar barriers during his interrogation at the hands of Sir Miles.
&lt;br/&gt;on awakening from this dream i got to thinking...was the liquid given to Mason as a child &amp;amp; the liquid that Sir Miles drank from Miss Dwyer's breast the SAME stuff?
&lt;br/&gt;what do YOU think?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Seven Soldiers</title>
      <link>http://grantmorrison.tribe.net/thread/383ef255-12bc-4bbc-90df-1583cb2804f3</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Surely there are people here with something to say about this?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Me, I'm really enjoying it.  The whole idea of making Klarion the Witchboy -- a memorable but obscure Jack Kirby character -- the lead in his own title is some kind of genius.  But surprisingly, that's not the only Kirby homage in this event.  The Manhattan Guardian isn't just a revamp of a Simon-Kirby character and costume; it's an example of taking something apart and putting it back together differently that suits Kirby's spirit of inventiveness.  And oddly, the Shining Knight first issue is also constructed on a standard Kirby template -- the opening splash page followed by a two-page spread; joinging the action "in media res" and providing background info on the fly.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Meanwhile, the Zatanna book is true to every aspect of the character's history while still taking her someplace new.  Letting an established character keep his or her convoluted backstory and still keeping a story accessible to new readers is a neat trick, and Morrison is the best of anyone working in comics today at doing this.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have no idea where this project is headed but I look forward to finding out.  Anyone else?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Grant Morrison's Psychic Powers</title>
      <link>http://grantmorrison.tribe.net/thread/2249843c-8241-47a7-8a97-8869a52ad19c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;My local comic shop is having a moving sale, and since I've been on a huge Grant Morrison kick, I decided to buy his back catalogue.  I bought spotty collections of Animal Man, Doom Patrol, Sea Guy and X Men.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I was reading the beginning of his X Men run that started with the 3 issue mini series "2 Is For Execution".  Xavier's twin wants to kill all mutants using Junkyard Sentinals,...blah, blah, blah.  It's an OK story, but seems a bit of a trifle compared to his other work.  I get to a scene in the second issue where you see an aerial view of a city that get's closer and closer interspersed with Mutant school dialogue.  The city is on an all mutant island, and the next scene, you see a view from inside of a skyscraper of a fighter jet with a big metallic fist coming right at it.  The scene then changes to a side view of the plane slamming into the building.  The next page is a full page spread of huge buildings collapsing on shrieking, running crowds.  This all took place within 3 pages.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I started having these huge flashes of all of the 9-11 imagery that's saturated into my head.  If Grant wrote this after 9-11, than that's pretty fucking insesnitive.  If he wrote it before, well that's pretty fucking clairvoyant.  I looked at the date on the comic.  It said August 2001.  This kind of blew my mind.  I looked ahead to the next couple issues to check to see if anyone else noticed this (how could they not?).  Their were letters pages in the next two issues, but when the letters page was about the August issue, they didn't run one.  I had purchased the next 10 issues and their were no more letters pages.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anybody else pick up on this?  This happened to a couple of other artists.  The movie Donnie Darko was released on 9-11 and a major theme in the movie was an airplane engine slamming into a house.  Jim Woodring also drew a picture of one of his characters being chased by a giant toy airplane driven by a skeleton (an unusually unsubtle image for Jim)&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://grantmorrison.tribe.net/thread/59a92f04-606a-4d8a-998d-a78846b2f660</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;The Sunday, July 31 2005 edition of the New York Times Arts &amp;amp; Leisure section has a front page, first column article about Grant redesigning New York's architecture for The Manhattan Guardian.  This is probably the best and least patronising article I've ever seen about comics in the Times, with plenty of quotes from GM and Cameron Stewart and an accurate description of the book and the whole Seven Soldiers project.  It's lavishly illustrated with well-chosen panels...and for a wonder, it includes the covers of the first three issues, so non-fans can go into a comic shop and know what comics they're looking for.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'll post a registration-free link to the article as soon as it appears online, either tomorrow or the next day.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.wakeupwalmart.com/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You Can Change Wal-Mart
&lt;br/&gt;Wal-Mart is the largest private employer in the world with over $10 billion in profits. Yet, Wal-Mart lowers our wages, ships our jobs overseas, and shifts their health care costs onto American taxpayers. We believe it's time for Wal-Mart to Wake Up.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Wake-Up Wal-Mart campaign is a grassroots movement of Americans who believe by joining together in common purpose we can change Wal-Mart and build a better America. Sign up and take action NOW!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;...
&lt;br/&gt;also what happens if you go in to shop but you don't buy anything but you do this instead.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;first how many friends do you have?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;how many buss it? or drive or car pool?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;what happens when on mothers day or shortly before hand, like this week ahead.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;if you happen to be a clutz? what happens when people knock shit off the shelves by addicent?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;you remember family matters? urkel?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;don't buy, drop it , knock it off, don't pay, leave, wave and say goodbye to the filled pockets of the waltons, sure, if they loose money?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;would that free up money and allow for ma and pa shops get bigger?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;free up the market?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;could it do that?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i think so.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i think it would also feel good to drop a jar of smuckers, or maybe maybeline?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;clean up on aisle 12
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;clean up
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;clean up on isle 24
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;clean up on 12 &amp;amp; 26
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;number 9 clean up.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;clean up on wall street.
&lt;br/&gt;put your money in someone else, a smaller big brother too wal-mart.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;then you pull it out of them after wal mart falls.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;and then bam keep the chain going.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;follow the laws of when you can withdraw and sell. and buy bye to corprate woes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;that's a theory that's a thought.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;it takes people with money to try it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;or to just do it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;like
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;another
&lt;br/&gt;what if?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;a mass of winno ryder lovers?
&lt;br/&gt;or just your common
&lt;br/&gt;mass 5 finger discounters
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;they don't have a football team or enough security gaurds to watch if you have 30 friends.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;30 friends can do alot if they all don't show up at once but with in 15 minutes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;you can hear they speakers go nuts.
&lt;br/&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Chaos magic is how our government controls us and through other means of course, but there is a lot going on right now. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You should look into what's gone down, so too know what's going down now. 
&lt;br/&gt;Add it up to subtract it down. 
&lt;br/&gt;Becoming a zombie is not a thing just for the movie ’s or for crack heads. 
&lt;br/&gt;It ’s something much worse. 
&lt;br/&gt;And it is wicked and it is coming our way. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Read Morals and Dogma, the last chapter is quite interesting to how our future is being directed. 
&lt;br/&gt;What is this book? 
&lt;br/&gt;It ’s what our president is reading or has already read …I think we ’ll continue to have one up on him on that one, but a lot of the other people you see sitting behind him and a lot of the one you don ’t see behind him are very much old 33 ’s and they know the book and live it ’s life, congress passed a doomsday bill 2 days ago did you know that? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When you become a thirty third mason this book is given to you to read, it claims to have all the truths of the world, I ’ve read it and can say it make a lot of sense, it make a lot of the question about history disappear, I feel much more clear headed, this is a book for a private club of rich people who run the world. 
&lt;br/&gt;This is something you should be aware of. 
&lt;br/&gt;It truly is, a sad and beautiful world. 
&lt;br/&gt;But if it ends like the book says then well it was great knowing you … 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Want to do something? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Read Talk Learn 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Shit that ’s as easy as 3 2 1 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;lovechao.tribe.net 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Love and Conquer, 
&lt;br/&gt;James 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;ps. sorry if you liked history the way it was lied to you. 
&lt;br/&gt;pss. ordo ab chao+ HAARP = DECEMBER 26th
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Look into the date December 26th find out what’s gone on that day
&lt;br/&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_26th
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;psss. this is an open discussion this is not spam.
&lt;br/&gt;please don't think i am trying to sell you anything.
&lt;br/&gt;this is about us learning how to change the future. &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;i  more or less like all the Invisibles &amp;amp; their assorted allies &amp;amp; find them interesting...&amp;amp;...it was interesting to watch Dane grow from a terrible brat to an authentic human being...but 2 of my favorite characters in the series are Audrey Murray &amp;amp; John-A-Dreams, not only for themselves, but for something they both have in common: each is seldom directly seen in the story, yet each is utterly PIVOTAL &amp;amp; IMPORTANT to key events in it. i consider Morrison's use of Audrey especially inspired, because when first we meet her in the Best Man Fall section, we have no reason to think she'll be any more than a strictly incidental &amp;amp; minor character...so her re-appearance later when i forgot about her was a total surprise!&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I'm a fan of Morrison's more "serious" work such as The Invisibles" and "The Doom Patrol" to name 2 but I still get a buzz taking on the DC Universe. I'm enough of a (recovering) fanboy to get excited when he's writing Batman, Superman and the rest.
&lt;br/&gt;Anybody here read the 2 issues so far of his JLA:Classified series? It abounds with the strange ideas and spot on characterisation which made his JLA run so charming for me.
&lt;br/&gt;I'm alread excited about his Seven Soldiers maxiseries, the trouble is I've still got a couple of months to wait...&lt;/div&gt;
