Amusing, watching this play out..

Patricia Nicol writes in the Sunday Times about Alexi Mostrous's podcast on the #HampsteadCase
Seems Nicol's is a fan of Marina Abramovic

standard.co.uk/esmagazine/art…
"She sits poised and immaculate, wearing a Burberry Riccardo Tisci silk monogrammed blouse and tailored black trousers. A mug of murky builders’ brew is placed in her hand and her response is rapturous. ‘Oh my god how you manifest this?!’ she declares.."

" When she lived in Notting Hill Gate in 1971 , [Abramovic] washed dishes and got sacked as a postal worker for discarding official-looking letters..Now ..she will be the first woman in the institution’s 250-year history to have a solo show across all of the RA’s main galleries"
"I have been in Abramović’s charismatic presence before, not that she could be expected to remember. In the summer of 2014, I was one of 129,916 visitors to her show 512 Hours at the Serpentine Gallery.."

serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/marin…
"The forerunner of the public’s leading role in that piece was Abramović’s 2010 blockbuster, The Artist is Present, at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The most popular show in MoMA’s history.."

🤔
"More than 1,000 participants — among them Björk , a teary Jemima Kirke, Lou Reed, Sharon Stone, James Franco and Rufus Wainwright — queued to sit at a simple wooden table opposite Abramović.."

🙄

"The work inspired the video for Jay-Z’s ‘Picasso Baby’. "

"That piece reflected a hunger among audiences for immersive, experiential culture, an area Abramović continues to explore. ‘That’s absolutely [of the] moment right now,’ she says..."

"Injury.. has played a key role in Abramović’s career.. She still bears scars from when things got dangerous..she set alight the 5 points of a communist star then leapt to its centre, could have killed her"

'Communist star' 😇
"Abramović, who dedicated her 2016 memoir Walk Through Walls ‘to friends and enemies’, says she comes from a ‘dark place’. She means aesthetically — post-war communist Belgrade ‘was a very ugly place’ — but also emotionally...
Abramović’s finicky, severe, hygiene-obsessed mother, a senior party figure, brought her daughter ‘up to be a soldier’. "
"There are frequent, scandalously untethered claims from Americans on social media that ‘Spirit Cooking’ — a recurring Abramović series invoking mystical incantations poetically — marks her out as a high priestess to Satan. "
"At the opposite cultural extreme, there are long-standing fans who complain that she has embraced the mainstream and become a brand. They question whether the Marina Abramović Institute , .. is about creating a legacy, or monetising her process."

The meeting between members of the Process Church and Alabama Governor George Wallace occurred around 1973 in Wallace's executive office, during a period when the controversial religious group had rebranded itself as the Foundation Church of the Millennium .. Image
The group was actively scrubbing its dark, countercultural, and apocalyptic image (which previously incorporated elements of fear, Satan, and Lucifer) to adopt a wholesome, mainstream-friendly persona resembling conventional church group ..
The connection between the Process Church's early roots in Fitzrovia, London and the broader folklore surrounding the Tavistock Clinic highlights a sprawling overlap between counterculture history, psychological institutions, and the late-20th-century Satanic Panic. Image

The Dark Kitchen Loop: Absorbing the "Shadow Zones" Image
"Dark kitchens" (or Central Production Units - CPUs) are windowless, delivery-only industrial cooking facilities packed into commercial units across Park Royal. They extract human labor from the autonomous, low-telemetry, non-secular communities .. Image
Inside the windowless Central Production Units (CPUs), human tracking shifts from public oversight to proprietary corporate data. Subcontracted, zero-hour, or cash-in-hand staff are often managed by third-party agencies or dynamic shifts apps."..🤔 Image

Marie-France van Heel (Mrs. Burnham) is involved with this modern energy network because the electric vehicle charging company she directs, Be.EV, is majority-owned and funded by Octopus Energy Generation .. Image
This ownership structure embeds her firm directly into the wider Octopus corporate ecosystem, which sits at the center of the modern smart-grid infrastructure.
While Mrs. Burnham does not directly run or own Kraken, the EV chargers managed by her firm represent the exact type of high-demand, decentralized grid nodes that Octopus's Kraken platform is built to orchestrate and optimize in real time.

GG : "The 2019 MoD initiative to recruit specialists for cognitive warfare aligns with GCHQ's move to Manchester by signaling a shift toward integrating behavioral science into military and intelligence operations. ..
While GCHQ historically used Palantir software to manage mass intelligence data, the timeline of 2019 serves as a critical bridge between the Ministry of Defence behavioral science expansion, the creation of the National Cyber Force (NCF), and the data-driven response to COVID" Image
The friction between academic freedom and military integration highlights a fundamental shift in how the UK state projects power. "..
