Yes, quite true. Bear with this: Yesterday RT TV conducted an interview at its fourth or fifth New York bureau location. A person was videoed by an unstaffed camera being coached by an earpod from voices at the DC or Moscow control room, ye gads, Moscow Central is alive at the Counterrrorism Center, Mclean, VA. The stooge watched his image tilting forward a la Charlies Rose stupor with an inserted background of teeming 3rd Avenue outside not the actual background drooping black fabric, surgical clogs and getaway bags. An engineer had arranged the mic and earbud and checked the camera then left for lunch or a secret mission to climb into the ceiling above to capture brainwaves, or plant a tiny seed in the noggin of the dupe, or wank a wad of infinite jest. Nobody below in the "news bureau" except the dolt yarping artless drivel to monodical questions of an android unseen being patched into the show, live, it was lied, but probably a staff lunchroom comedy lampooning eager beggars of attention at the bottom of the TV cess spew. RT TV in NYC is located amidst the UN missionary-rich SIGINT-capacious nabe of copious diplomatic cablings of neant cum dasein cum dang an sich. Viewable panning in neighbhood windows are pan-national cameras capturing the UN Central urgency of how little is happening outside the overtaxed homelands. Shortly a live butt-heaving beauty enters the suite, declaiming, that was fantastic, the best we've ever had. We want you back, what's your availability frame? Hypnotic smile, a squeeze of your bicep, leg akimbo. Well, you blurt, pumped with range-free lust , I'm free all week. That's fantastic, she says, fantastic, let me check with headquarters, I'll email you in an hour. You were great, just great. Thank you for coming. Cheek kiss, not air, real gloss to mark you pwned. You wait in the hall for the elevator. The bureau emits telltale SIGINT hoots. No email, nothing, that's it, fake-humped and forgotten. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
