Torpedoes Capitalism :: New Ireland Editorial - 27 January 2021<p><br></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mj51UPeeZvg" width="720" youtube-src-id="mj51UPeeZvg"></iframe></div><br>Hello again, James McAnespy here, founder of New Ireland TV. Back again on this the 27th of January, and big news today is that Reddit has pretty much torpedoed capitalism! <br><br>A subreddit on Reddit, obviously, called Wall Street Bets — it seems to be just a lot of amateur investors we're trying to, sort of, predict short selling. <br><br>They were trying to predict short selling on the New York Stock Exchange, and they successfully did it with a company called GameStop. Basically it's a business that looks like it doesn't have a lot of future because it’s a bricks and mortar video games company, whereas the entire industry seems to be moving to online shop fronts and storefronts, and away from physical sales in that industry.<br><br>The market really wants to move in that direction so GameStop was looking like a sort of bad investment. So we had a lot of vulture capitalists were coming in to basically bet on the fact that the shares would go down. And so this subreddit — this forum of amateur investors — decided to bet against the short selling and seem to be winning — and they seem to be winning massively.<br><br>The short sellers needed to guarantee that they were going to continue to buy the shares, they were expecting the shares to be, you know, much lower than they paid for them. But in fact, they were more expensive than what they paid for them and a lot of these vulture capitalists are losing billions of dollars and all I can say is WHEEEEYYYY<br><br>The entire stock exchange and stocks & shares is just an absolute joke. It’s basically just a very expensive gambling forum. you bet on, say, the price of oil is going to go up or down in three months time. That's basically a lot of what they're doing that's selling futures.<br><br>There's a lot of them where they will bet on mergers and acquisitions so all they want to see is more mergers and acquisitions. What what it turns into then is that down on the high street, and instead of having, you know, vibrant businesses that are serving their communities from the ground up, or created innovations in products or services. <br><br>What you have is now businesses are starting up with the express intention of being bought out. They're not serving their customers - they’re not even looking to necessarily make profit! They're just looking to be sold, and it's it's making capitalism eat itself, which it has been doing for about 100 years. <br><br>But now it's becoming so ridiculously unsustainable that even people who have normally been a supporter of stocks & shares, or even investors, are sitting looking in thinking this is not a sustainable model.<br><br>The entire modus operandi of capitalism is growth and it's always infinite growth, which is obviously impossible. Any person who studies thermodynamics will know that infinite growth is just not possible — sooner or later something will have to crash down. <br><br>Usually this meant a sort of “correction" in the markets, so you had the things like the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and that sort of thing and right up to the 80s.<br><br>But then they stopped letting the market correct itself; they started bailing out the financial institutions every time it looked like there might be something going on. So, for example, if the New York stock market fell more than 20 percent they would close the market immediately. <br><br>So they weren't actually operating a free market economy, they were operating a protection racket. The numbers involved in the stock exchange; you're talking about tens of billions and trillions of pounds changing hands on a daily basis. <br><br>That is all imaginary. There is no way that they could actually produce that value of currency in one physical space, even if the entire physical space was the entirety of the surface area of the land on the planet. <br><br>It has been maintained with a pathological fervour by most of the G20 governments across the world — most of the English language governments across the world, quite a few of the French-speaking languages across the world; you're sort of seeing the pattern here aren't you? A lot of Spanish-speaking nations across the world — just basically the Imperialists and the post imperialist economies.<br><br>All are wedded to this idea of, you know, infinite growth; infinite growth; F**k the consumer, f**k the employee; infinite growth! As long as the shareholders are happy that's all that matters!<br><br>I think most people now on ground level are starting to realise this. I think that even people, as I said, who would traditionally be the sort of wannabe stocks and share types — the chattering classes — are even getting to the point where they cannot, without irony, defend the scenario, when the likes of Jeff Bezos is the richest person in the history of the planet… on paper.<br><br>My solution to this is the bread standard — I can tell you more about that in a separate video<br><br>The great leveller of capitalism is the idea of open competition: whoever innovates better, whoever brings something to market that is either better or less expensive for the consumer, are generally going to are usually going to triumph in the long run, or they'll have to keep innovating in order to maintain their market dominance.<br><br>Again that has been completely wiped away so any residual benefit that capitalism might have got from innovation? It's out the window now because all that happens is one player gets dominant in the market; takes over their biggest rival; and takes over 70 market share, and then they're untouchable. So it’s got the point where, you know, less than 10 companies in the world probably own about 80 percent of all intellectual property on the planet!<br><br>So where does it end like?<br><br>But stay tuned to New Ireland TV, we've got lots of fresh intellectual property that we will be entertaining you with from here on out. <br><br>We're still a bit of a tinpot operation, but stay tuned you will see us grow; and grow organically and sustainably. And we will be seeking to make profit, we'll also be looking to serve our customers and innovate as much as we can because we are a new TV station for a new Ireland<p></p><p> </p><p><span></span></p><a href="http://blog.jamesmcanespy.co.uk/2021/01/reddit-torpedoes-capitalism-new-ireland.html#more">keep reading »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">amazon_ad_tag ="jammca-21"; amazon_ad_width ="468"; amazon_ad_height ="60"; amazon_ad_link_target ="new"; </script><script src="http://ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/s/ads.js"></script></div>Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857003500661641211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443032117620509645.post-37171475400776725882021-01-25T16:15:00.006+00:002021-06-29T16:34:14.589+01:00Scotland Referendum // New Ireland TV Editorial - January 25th 2021<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UPZCMlzuypo" width="720" youtube-src-id="UPZCMlzuypo"></iframe></div><br />Hello, James McAnespy here, founder of New Ireland TV. it is the 24th of January today<br /><br />Well, the big news today is that Scotland - specifically Nicola Sturgeon - has declared that if the SNP should win the May assembly elections she will go ahead and run a referendum with or without the permission of Whitehall. <br /><br />We discuss this quite extensively in the Michael Collins episode of Chatting Pictures Podcast <br /><br />“…They’ll get to an impasse where Boris will not let them have a referendum. So at that point what is their options? To hold their own illegitimate in-house referendum? Or just to totally, as a parliament, start ignoring and refusing the British Empire…” <br /><br />I posited that, sooner or later, Boris Johnson is going to have to be faced with the situation where he will have to put handcuffs onto Nicola Sturgeon if she keeps going this way<br /><br />At what point will we get to that? Will Nicola Sturgeon spend the night in a prison cell before the UK forces of security start bashing heads?<br /><br />That's the position that we're going to find ourselves in within the next two or three years. Now we are definitely on a path that is unprecedented really, in the amount of changes we are going to see.<br /><br />Pretty much this has been on the pipeline since Brexit. As soon as Brexit was an issue this was always going to be a possibility. I didn't actually think we'd get this far down the road so quickly, but such is the incompetence of the supporters of the United Kingdom as an entity, that they kept shooting themselves in the foot at every chance they had to bolster Northern Ireland, and Scotland's relationship to Westminster, for example, when they sabotaged and torpedoed Theresa May's Brexit deal, which actually would have been the best of all worlds and we would be, you know, two or three years into a Brexit that would have been probably forgotten about by this point. If it had actually passed Theresa May's deal <br /><br />But here we are now. Gordon Brown has weighed in - he seems to have a lot of affiliation for the entity of the United Kingdom — to be fair he was a Prime Minister of it for a very brief moment, do you remember that? — but he has been retired for 10 years now and yet he seems to be the only person that the London media can get to speak persuasively from Scotland on the Scottish issue.<br /><br />Ruth Davidson would have been obvious candidate, but she no longer wants to be seen to be a representative Boris Johnson to her credit, and i'm sure she was going on ahead with her life etc<br /><br />But now the chess pieces have been shifted dramatically, and it happened in the days before Christmas - nobody else noticed this but i'm pretty sure in the days before Christmas, in locked rooms in Whitehall, there was an arrangement made where Northern Ireland would basically be cut off in order that Scotland would remain with Britain.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure now there's going to be a very intensive divide and conquer campaign waged by the Imperialists, that we need to be very wary of. They will start petting Scotland against Ireland's interests and we have to be aware of that. We have to spot it when we see it we have to call it out when we see it.<br /><br />And not only that we have to actually manipulate it to our own benefit because they will try this - it’s the only tactic they have. They pretty much exhausted all their good reasons for staying in Britain in the 2014 referendum, and the best one was that Scotland would remain in the EU, which obviously is no longer the case.<br /><br />So we need to now put a support behind the Scottish independence referendum bid as well as our own, because what I foresee the plan being from the Imperial side is that they'll be happy to cut the raft of Northern Ireland off in order that they keep Scotland. <br /><br />So just be aware of that, call that out when you see it, I certainly will. And keep tuned to New Ireland TV. A new TV station for a new Ireland.<p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">amazon_ad_tag ="jammca-21"; amazon_ad_width ="468"; amazon_ad_height ="60"; amazon_ad_link_target ="new"; </script><script src="http://ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/s/ads.js"></script></div>Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857003500661641211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443032117620509645.post-34219890160202788542021-01-23T15:44:00.000+00:002021-06-29T15:45:21.355+01:00Lockdown Extended // New Ireland TV Editorial: 23 January 2021<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hx7EoqB5NxU" width="720" youtube-src-id="hx7EoqB5NxU"></iframe></div><p>Hello again, it's James McAnespy here, founder of New Ireland TV. </p><p>Here again, this time out in the daylight, but as you can see we have had a dusting of snow overnight.</p><p>The other big news of course is that the Lockdown restrictions are going to now be extended.</p><p>Which to me seems like a massive failure of pandemic response by not treating the island of Ireland as an island. <br /><br />An island is a natural defense to an airborne pandemic. And yet Dublin airport is packed, you know? DUP MPs are flying back and forth to Westminster as if they were just clocking up their air miles.</p><p>New Zealand, for example, has a direct comparison -- a similarly-sized nation with a similar colonial history to our own. Earlier this summer they were able to put on a full program of top level elite professional rugby in front of sellout crowds in stadiums.</p><p>They were doing that back in July and August and yet we're still stuck here where people can't even go on a 5k in the morning. A woeful, woeful response that totally negated our natural defense: the fact that we are an island. </p><p>Being an island is quite advantageous and we should have made a point of pressing home that advantage!</p><p>But what <b>we</b> are going to do though is to continue to create new content, and create new TV shows showing Ireland and what a newIreland could be like. <br /><br />Because the lockdown will be pushing us back a wee bit - or the restrictions will be pushing us back a wee bit - it will give us more time to use this as a runway to, sort of, take off from.</p><p>We're coming from a very low base in regards to resources etc. The east coast ones already have their built-in revenue streams, such as license fees for example, or they're established advertising platforms which is fair enough. </p><p>So we have to start off small, but continue checking in! We will continue to be adding new stuff especially when you lock down though. </p><p>People have pretty much hit the bottom of Netflix at this point I think so it's time to look for something fresh, which is New Ireland TV - a new TV station for a new Ireland.<br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">amazon_ad_tag ="jammca-21"; amazon_ad_width ="468"; amazon_ad_height ="60"; amazon_ad_link_target ="new"; </script><script src="http://ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/s/ads.js"></script></div>Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857003500661641211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443032117620509645.post-3984594399799740132021-01-21T17:03:00.001+00:002021-01-21T17:28:29.238+00:00New Ireland TV<p> I am delighted to announce the impending arrival of a brand new TV station, broadcasting from right here in Tyrone! <br />From 2021, New Ireland TV will be available with all new original and licensed content, produced in Ireland, for a twenty first century audience.

And hopefully by the time Lockdown is over, we will have loads and loads of stuff to show you, and we'll be able to start inviting you into studios<br /><br />And just feeling like a new TV station. A new TV station for a new Ireland.<br /></p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">amazon_ad_tag ="jammca-21"; amazon_ad_width ="468"; amazon_ad_height ="60"; amazon_ad_link_target ="new"; </script><script src="http://ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/s/ads.js"></script></div>Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857003500661641211noreply@blogger.comOmagh BT7854.5977149 -7.309959699999999426.287481063821154 -42.4662097 82.907948736178838 27.8462903tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443032117620509645.post-63067249897231879232020-12-26T18:56:00.001+00:002020-12-26T18:56:10.617+00:00Winner of the Fishpond.ie monologue competition!<p> During Lockdown, Dublin casting website fishpond.ie hosted a series of monologue competitions, based on screen monologues. They invited their roster of talent to apply, while providing free access to the site as a reflection of the fact that the entire freelance industry collapsed overnight.</p><p>I was actually completely oblivious to this generosity in the first few months - I had to move out of my flat in Belfast two weeks after the Lockdown started (where I did the bulk of early the Oasis videos that you'll have seen on this blog). Then because I was aware there were no acting roles being offered, I hadn't been keeping on top of all the communications coming from them (also it was largely being announced through social media, which I have consciously divested myself from in the last 18 months).</p><p>When I did spot it, I entered immediately, and the chosen monologue was from Peaky Blinders. I studied the monologue, but I had only ever watched the first two or three episodes of the show, and that was about seven years prior, so it was similar to getting a fresh script. <br /></p><p>This is the monologue I sent in to them:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="395" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bSHlBMugsPg" width="475" youtube-src-id="bSHlBMugsPg"></iframe></div><br /><p>That was back in August/September. I showed it to a few friends, who charitably (!) turned it into a meme for Whatsapp! But I do what I always do with auditions, and largely forgot about it.</p><p>Until last week, when fishpond.ie announced their shortlist for week 16, which included myself! This was even more serendipidous when last night (Christmas), I receieved a peak cap gift, which got me to thinking if they had released their winners yet, and sure enough:</p>

The winningest game you can play!<p>A number of years ago I made a new year's resolution (a novelty for me, someone who has demonstrated precious little appetitie for self improvement in ever), which was to try to find a song that's <i>new to me</i> on average once a day - so I aim for 365 (or 366) songs per year. It's a great little challenge to yourself, and it's a game I recommend everyone try!<br />
<iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="380" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/52expG2hlAaYEmHxBGnXzN" width="300"></iframe> </p><p>It started because I was getting frustrated that I would find a new song that I would like, but if I couldn't call it to mind, it would be lost to history forever. This is very much a 21st century first world problem, but it harkens back to the first family computer we had (in the twentieth century), which had a whopping <i>20MB </i>of onboard storage - equivalent to about seven songs in mp3 format. Useless in other words. Often when I was on the much-missed <i>AudioGalaxy </i>and another song was queuing up for download, I would have to choose one of the ones already downloaded for culling. It was a cruel time, similar to the savage Spartans who would chuck their own babies over a cliff if they didn't display physical prowess from birth.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJRsSQWpfUD4u5v2ppYe8Tw9C1yys5rcKofI35Jt3O11qhwapvvsrae2Ckc7JIbolXUs71o9I-S0ByF4nkUDXKvJc6SH2cvGu1mTPHEyyF25_WUmvIalDnJLow_A9FbwRCW2IUuE5Duq0/s670/Screen+Shot+2020-11-23+at+17.12.51.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="570" data-original-width="670" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJRsSQWpfUD4u5v2ppYe8Tw9C1yys5rcKofI35Jt3O11qhwapvvsrae2Ckc7JIbolXUs71o9I-S0ByF4nkUDXKvJc6SH2cvGu1mTPHEyyF25_WUmvIalDnJLow_A9FbwRCW2IUuE5Duq0/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-11-23+at+17.12.51.png" width="320" /></a></div><p>Eventually Steve Jobs came up with the answer - the iPod (early mp3 players also had an issue with very limited storage space), so I was able to start burning all my CDs onto iTunes, and even burn everyone else's CDs when I got the opportunity! It was a glorious exercise in sharing the gift of art, and if I didn't have it, it's probable I would have forgotten about the artists who I would consider my favourites today.</p><p>I had perfected a wonderful system of Smart Playlists, where if I heard a song on my iTunes or iPod, it wouldn't play it again for a number of days, unless I had rated it 5 stars out of 5 (ie my favourite songs to hear), when it wouldn't play it for the rest of the day. I discovered multitudes of new music this way, from the rock and metal I was into from my teens, to the different types of Jazz, classical, world and just checking out genres to see what was going on, to what I now consider my favourite genre - the 2000s north American indie music of the likes of Arcade Fire & Modest Mouse.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb7fo2ZPQaur52woM3bIglwiiAJoRfco4LkT3hJu6AZ3_5iu8IXfcbN_a9KfhlM1PMSuSROdIE7-EMY5vl7zd5A6PW79rj8Fm9IfQNGhWnl7EGHH1Rejc3Q00Z29WklWoT7oMjLN6mB6k/s1258/Screen+Shot+2020-11-23+at+17.40.58.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="669" data-original-width="1258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb7fo2ZPQaur52woM3bIglwiiAJoRfco4LkT3hJu6AZ3_5iu8IXfcbN_a9KfhlM1PMSuSROdIE7-EMY5vl7zd5A6PW79rj8Fm9IfQNGhWnl7EGHH1Rejc3Q00Z29WklWoT7oMjLN6mB6k/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-11-23+at+17.40.58.png" width="320" /></a></div>But then that was frought with it's own issues - hard drive failure, which I fell victim to on two seperate occasions, with the loss of around 22,000 mp3s. Luckily, I had been paying forward the gift of sharing, and was able to claw back most of what I'd lost by just copying my library back off friends (with the bonuses of their interim additions), so I was mostly able to claw back the large bulk of my library, but I'll probably never find the random songs I would speculatively download and stick in the Random queue. <p>Eventually I made the switch to Spotify. I had dipped my toe in the water for a number of years, but never fully made the plunge (I cannot justify why I was so reticent, it was literally everything I had wanted - pretty much all recorded music at the end of my fingertips). But then algorithms start to force themselves upon you, and thinks that if you liked listening to Smells Like Teen Spirit once, you'll always want to listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit! It becomes an echo chamber, and invariably it will start to churn out ecery band's Wonderwall - the famous song that a band has, but the band's fanbase have probably grown tired listened to. Oasis' is obviously <i>Wonderwall</i>, Rage Against the Machine's is <i>Killing In the Name</i>, James Brown's is <i>I Feel Good</i>, and so on.</p><p>So I went back to my old methods, of just hoovering up any song I could find that caught my ear - and with the miracle of Shazam, it's made it incredibly easy. I could hear a song in a bar, and within 30 seconds have it added to that year's list. Then I would just hit shuffle on that list and the better songs would enter my consciousness by osmosis. </p><p>I did actually hit the 365 once, about fifteen minutes before midnight on New Year's Eve - I just snuck <i>I Like to Move in the Night</i> by Eagles of Death Metal into the 2018 - A Year of Living Dangerously list (and made the title fo the list all the more apt!).</p><p>

</p><p>In all the other years, I've missed the target, but a definite pattern has emerged. At the start of the year there's a glut of new stuff from all sorts of places; around March I'm listening to a lot of Irish and folk music; summer is usually the big hits of the year have become established; then around September I start falling behind, but I've usually built up a big enough back catalogue that I'm ahead of the days count; then in October there's a load of heavy metal; and by late December I'm trying to find new Xmas tunes.</p><br />

<br />
<br />
<p>2020 has been an interesting one, since there hasn't really been much new music released, although the list is mostly older music - it's songs that are <i>new to me</i>. I'm currently on 262 songs, and I'm writing this on day number 329 - but it's all good, because the best thing about this game is everyone's always winning!<br /></p>

We had a few run ins with the Little People ourselves, as explained in the podcast, and it looked like they had struck us with another curse when we couldn't find the recordings. However, with a titter-a-wit that Darby himself would have been proud of, we've managed to source the original audio file and it's going through the post productions ready to be published before the end of this current season.<p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://chatting.pictures">Chatting Pictures</a> is sponsored by <a href="www.hangsandwich.com">Hang Sandwich</a> T Shirts.

Some noses may be metaphorically put out of joint. So, you know, content warning.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's hosted by anchor.fm, so it's on all the major podcast platforms, and it's sponsored by <a href="http://hangsandwich.com">hangsandwich.com</a>.

Mrs Doyle is besotted when she wins a competition to have her beloved TV host Eoin McLove visit her, but she's not the only one on the island who wants to meet him. Dougal thinks he's very cheeky, Ted doesn't approve of his poetry tastes and Jack waxes lyrical on the nature of fandom. </p><p>We also talk about treacherous male bonding games such as Eyeball Chicken and Killerball, fainting Michael Jackson fans and false rumours about Pope John Paul II.
