[dlpdev] ken campbell's bibliographies

[Saul Albert]

suggested field trip:

Ken Campbell's meaning of life.

http://www.drillhall.co.uk/theatre/campbell.html

I went to see Ken Campbell talk for 2 hours about his collection of books
and jackie chan videos.

He's reached some amazing conclusions about the world based on his readings
and watchings of a very obscure selection of material.

Books (from memory, I've lost the damn flyer with the bibliograhy)
- Anne of Greengables
- page 81 of the Times Books Atlas of the Crusades.
- Last of the Moe Haircuts - the influence of the three stooges on 
  twentieth century culture
- A script written by and about an Italian cult of Damanhur who've built
  a huge temple carved into the Alps so they can travel through time.
- The Nag Hammadi Library - a collection of Gnostic scriptures

loads more that I forgot.

Videos:
- 'The West Wing' series 2 box set
- Jackie Chan in Drunken Master 2
- Stephen Spielburg's 'Taken' box set
- Tv adaptation of Anne of Greengables box set.

more...

Anyway, he weaves these things together with his experiences of recording
a series of interviews with the world's most eminent sceintists on the subject
of quantum physics and particle research.

His supposition from his readings is that the Italian time-travellers are 
right. In our timeline, the world ended in the 60's, but because an intrepid 
bunch of time travellers from another dimension have come back in time, been
reincarnated and changed the course of our history, it's being staved off
for the time being by the creation of the temple and time-travelling forays
by this Italian lot into ancient babylon. To tell the truth I can't quite
piece it all back together from memory, but I'm hoping to find my bibliography
which should help.

There's some background info on the Damanhurians (the italian cult) in a book
by Jeff Merrifield, more here: http://www.meryfela.demon.co.uk/damanhur.htm
which has some bits about their esoteric physics.

I think Ken's touring the UK, but he's back in London after christmas, so if 
anyone fancies going, I highly recommend it. 27th or 28th December at the Drill
Hall.

If you don't know ken campbell's stuff, a good place to start is his translation
of Macbeth into pidgin english: http://www.puffinry.freeserve.co.uk/wol-wantok/
where you can download an mp3 bit of it if you want.

Cheers,

Saul.
