Kick Starter and Ideas

Post by Ry » Fri Jul 12, 2013 8:38 pm

I've been at this game for 13 years almost 14 years. Some of the stuf I wrote like 'You Are Not What You Own' was when I was 17 years old. It's time to upgrade everything. I work a full time job and two part time jobs. I would like to quit both of the part time jobs and eventually replace the full time job with just part time if it is possible. And it is if I can up the political game. The ultimate aim is to create a real alternative news net work. I want it based on journalism not personalities or sensationalism. And I do have a team in mind. First things first is taking this site to the next level. I also want to run my own show because I don't like just getting famous guests. I want to be in charge so that I can interview whoever I want, whoever I judge competent whether people gave heard of them or not. A couple of guests on BFP never made it on the BFP page because Sibel didn't know who they were. Their names didn't have the drawing power of my other guests... I dont think I have to explain how much I disagree with that. Jeff Gates one of the last ones was such a a case.

I know it is a sad reality but the youtube stuff I do can't just be me talking to a camera with now and then some slide show screen shots in them. I am going to make a video about making things more presentable to judgmental people. I am going to explain what many have told me: it SHOULDN'T matter how I look and people ought to base it on the content but people are spoiled and stupid and so the entire message is lost for many if they don't have the news presentation they are used to. It's like Moses and his robes the moment his children saw him drunk and naked asleep in the cave he had to punish them because they saw him without his robes. I cant get my foot in the door with some folks so that they never even hear my content because I don't have the authoritarian look they require.

Now I'm not going to be over idealistic and say well screw them they shouldn't be so judgmental. Yes they shouldn't be, but in the long run here, the pragmatic side of me says do we want justice or not? should I be trying the most people or not. And of course I do. You'll be able to share a video with your less open minded friends if it looks like what they need it to look before they listen to a person. Face it, open minded people are not the problem. That's not who we need to change. Its the sheep that need help. And that is why I am upgrading my stuff. Im making a kickstarter which officially is to help finish and distribute a movie about Egypt. (thats the rules in kickstater that it be for artistic projects) however any extra money (which will be most of it) will be to creating a commercial page for selling T-shirts, Ebooks, and DVDs and to upgrade my video presentation on youtube. Also to pay professionals to translate War by Deception into French, Japanese, Spanish and so on. I'd also like to make More than Taboo in German.

So that's the long term plan. I will have the T-Shirts tonight. I will photo one and post that and then I am creating the site for them and the kickstarter all at once. You don't have to wait for that though, you can use the paypal button on the top on the page and get one for $30 I have M girls size and L and XL for guys. The girl shirt is actually cut for a girl. Maybe you can post your photo again. After Monday the price is gonna be $35 and on the new site it will be $35 so you can save $5 however I cannot mail anything until Tuesday Japan time since Monday is Ocean Day which is a national Holiday. Shirts cost me 17 to make and more to mail. I will be looking for a US distributer and a European distributor but its hard to find people I can trust. Sadly I think I will find the European one faster.

I sent this to a pilot friend:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1JYHNX8 ... e=youtu.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

(Flight 214 media mess up in Bay Area)

And he immediately thought it was real, because the host sounded real. I myself thought it was a good fake, but before telling him, I looked it up and holy cow, it was real and aired on T.V.

With the sheep, if it sounds real and professional, they will listen and believe it. I also sent the same friend War by Deception and he turned it off after 2 minutes and replied, "I can't listen to this sh!t."

well I can't do kickstarter because I don't have a US cell phone and to have kickstarter you also have to have Amazon to have Amazon you can't live on Hatteras Island you have to live in the main land US because amazon doesn't take PO BOX numbers and apparently is unaware that not everywhere in America has home delivery. You also have to have a US cell phone so that you can verify who you are with a text message. After all that bullshit you can do kickstarter. I wish they had done that in step one so that I did not waste the day make a promotional video, a write up and all this other stuff only to reach a dead end with Amazon.

UPDATE after a bunch of bullsht i got an amazon thing but it will take up to 7 days to "process" aka check my taxes and shit. So until that is done i can not begin the kickstarter thus i also have to extend the funding 7 extra days and delay to project 7 extra days.

AND the guy that does my shirts did not have them last night! I went all the way to Osaka to the meeting place where he left a bag for me with some of the old no aid to israel shirts with a guy there that knew me. AKA he didn't want to meet me in person. His excuse was that he didn't get the right file type for the printing but that is BS because this one was made by a graphic designer out of charity for the cause I know 100% it was done correctly. He was just trying to con me with a technical excuse.

Such is my life. Anyway they will be ready when they are ready I hope by Monday.

You should hunt down Micheal Nystrom (owner DialyPaul) and have a meeting/coffee, he's in Japan somewhere now.

I'm not a professional of any kind but I'm a native speaker so I am offering to do finnish subtitles. You don't have to pay me but I won't say no if you want to.

i did edit war by deception like 6 times i dont know which version you saw there aren't any words in it really.


good news is kickstarter finally went through i am changing a video in it and it will be on the way. I also edited the first 10 mins of this film. I'm like 8 years older than i was when i started war by deception, and i have new software and stuff for the audio. This film on Egypt, Israel, the Kenndies, and Nuclear Weapons go over all the wars, the Lavon affair, Liberty attack, Numec, assassinations, revolutions, everything. It's going to be a must have.

If the money goes over the mark ill use the extra stuff to translated WBD into Japanese. Its already 65% done in French.
Why those languages? Why not Spanish? Because that's what I know and I don't speak Spanish or Chinese and those would be what I'd like the most.

Naava I will pay you. It won't be very much but I will certainly pay you. If I can get this going and right now I have no idea if its going to raise a lot of money or not, but if it goes well then the first thing I am going to do is pay translators.

Is the War by Deception dvd gonna have a start up menu where you can choose the language cause that would be cool. Or do you mean to make copies in different languages separately on demand?
