[waterspindle]

it takes genius to find, focus, ruminate on, and re-produce genius.

you have managed to accomplish something important in this.

thanks for sharing; the weight of his message is heavy ...

I notice that Bill sheds no tears for the people of the Philippines. Or Shanghai. Or Nanjing. I'd say that Hiroshima and Nagasaki are payback for Nanjing. Karma is a bitch Bill.

[infradig]

[squarefair]

"If control's control is absolute, why does control need to control?"

Rhetorical question. control is NOT absolute.

"control will lead only to the 'need for more control' "

-William S. Burroughs

Circa 1945.

[CLGartman]

[FreddoX1]

Watta hell was this? :S sucha weird clip :S like a was brainwashed to become a serialkiller

[Karmu2]

Great video, great text, thanks!

[patronise]

This dude DID NOT create this film. All Scotland born Karma here was add his name and change the title. This film is the property of PHILLIP HUNT OF GERMANY.

It's fine to upload films that you enjoy so that others may access and enjoy them too. But it's fraud to say that you created this. CHANGE IT. Please.

[patronise]

Whoops, I humbly apologise! All you did was use the audio track and create new imagery for the film. Sorry dude!

[Karma9800]

Thanks, phillip hunt created an animation and had nothing to do with the audio either - the audio I use in the track Ah Pook created and read by William Burroughs the novelist himself from Dead City Radio, Phillip Hunt took this audio and part from a lecture to use on his very excellent animation. William Burroughs is the creator of the audio in both this vid edit and Phil Hunts excellent animation sequence.

[patronise]

At least I'm not the only one whose made this mistake.

[mojoraisin]

And don't forget John Cale's music ;)

[dantheman1980uk]

Oh, well done, I think not.

All you did was completely rip-off the audio from the British animation by Philip Hunt made back around 1994-5. And not one mention of it anywhere. Plageriser.

[Karma9800]

I think youll find the audio is properly credited - which Philip Hunts animation is about - William Burroughs Ah Pook - have a look for dead city radio - Phillip Hunt animated to the audio - i edited video to the audio - no need to credit Phillip Hunt as he only put images to the original audio - and have a look at my second comment mentioning hunts animation

[dantheman1980uk]

Then, in light of your information, I was incorrect in assuming you had plagerised Philip Hunt's animation. And for that I apologise and retract the above statement.

[wi11ydapimp]

@Karma9800 ignore that idiot Karma, great great job. i'm a huge Burroughs fan...

[Wyrehedd242]

looking forward to 2012 baby! its finally all coming down!

[guinnesshead]

Havent felt the hairs on my back stand up in a long time, well done Karma...Thats excellent work...P.s. Whats the droney audio at the end? where can I hear more Music like that?

[Karma9800]

Thanks guinesshead - the haunting audio was actually taken from the soundtrack of the movie Eyes Wide Shut - the track is Masked Ball by Jocelyn Pook

[demmyjames]

i remember the original vid for ah pook is here and loved that but this is very fine - well posited and diminishes none of it's sources - instead you seem to have dignified both your intentions and the subjects. nice one karma 9800. cheers

[Karma9800]

Again im flattered :) Thank you demmyjames - It was a struggle to attempt the imagery to match the audio from burroughs - very happy you have enjoyed it

[CLGartman]

It's also spelt more commonly as Ah Puch, and I really like this video though. It puts meaning into something meaningless and vice versa. Ultimate peace is without absolute control. Take that Stalin!

[Karma9800]

Heh heh many thanks and im glad you like it :)

[CLGartman]

Holy fuck...that's when I turn 34!

But I was wondering, did you show Oppenheimer in a negative way? B/c if so, I know this may sound hyparitcal of me, but I think he was an innoscent man.

[Karma9800]

Hi Gartman, I dont think its a negative light to Oppenheimer. He perhaps was in a difficult position but he did achieve his goal. The footage used of him is after the first test. His actual words I think expressed how he saw his work, "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

And that is why Molly Shanaquarab always used extra malt sauce on her two scoops of ice cream.

Wither Canada indeed?

[evildude0095]

Where can I find this story of ah pook the destroyer, is it a story that is written, told or otherwise?

[Karma9800]

There is no story as such of Ah Pook, but mayan texts and histories etc will refer to the god.

William Burroghs wrote - Ah,Pook and other Texts. Available through Amazon.

There is also a great animation on here - search Ah Pool - it is by Phil Hunt and won several awards for the work.

[Karma9800]

Search Ah Pook :) not Ah pool ;)

The film is entitled Ah Pook is Here
