Looks like last week's article in the press had some kind of positive effect. As a result Fife Council have now been forced to drop their ludicrous 0845 telephone number.
Also included was my response to Anne Muir's idiotic comments and an article that spawned from the unpublished last paragraph of my letter.
The press should give me a goddamned column just to bitch about shit on a weekly basis. (Dunfermline Press story, letter & article). media-underground.net

Well, ten out of ten to the Dunfermline Press for not portraying me as a complete dick. Their article on my fight with the local authorities was published this morning, and - to be fair - they quoted me on all the important points without being fearful of appearing politically incorrect.
I will of course be retaliating against Anne Muir's dumbass comments about making things convenient for the customer. How the fuck is dialing an 0845 number in any way convenient when it costs the customer money to phone them? How the hell is paying your council tax at an off licence more convenient than paying it at a local council office? And as for Direct Debits, of course she "actively encourages" people to pay by this method when it gives the authorities more control over when they take the payment and how much they decide to take. With a Standing Order the control is firmly placed in the customer's hands with them deciding when and how much the institution shall receive.
The difference may appear subtle, but it's the difference between you controlling your finances as opposed to giving them the authority to just take. An institution will always favour the Direct Debit since the payment is instant and there is no waiting period.
Well, I say screw them, they can freaking wait, and I'll decide how long and how much they'll get from my goddamned account.

Last week I sent a letter to my local press whining about the council. I'd had a few beers at the time and was in a pissed off mood - plus I emailed them before I had enough sense to look the letter over properly.
Next thing I know, I get an email from the local press telling me how they want to make a feature out of the story.
So what do I do?
As usual I throw myself into it all - with a goddamned photographer coming round to the house to take snaps of me looking all aggravated and pissed off on the phone.
Two pints later - sitting in the pub reading this week’s local press - I’m looking at the kind of journalism this newspaper churns out and thinking to myself: they are gonna make me out to look like a right dick!
So needless to say I emailed them, asking them not to make me out to be some poor little bastard being screwed over by the local council, but rather someone sticking the finger up to a corrupt system.
We’ll see what happens on Thursday. In the meantime, you might as well read the letter I sent and judge for yourself (since it’s obviously too politically incorrect to publish, but relevant enough to make a bloody feature out of)...

I'll be away for a few days into the wilds again for a little solitary excursion around the Central Highlands. This means there will be no updates for a few days.
If you get bored, download something off the torrent tracker or sign up to the media underground forum.
Normal service shall resume Thursday or Friday, depending on the weather or how long I feel like camping out in the middle of nowhere.
If World War III breaks out, then - personally speaking - it's probably a good time right now, as I'll be nowhere near the onslaught. media-underground.net

It's been rather quiet around here at the Media Underground Nerve Centre for the past week. That's because I took a small vacation at the beginning of last week and went up the hills for a few days, bagging some bothies around the Schiehallion region and enjoying the solitude of being alone in the middle of nowhere.
After a couple of day's rest and a few much needed showers, it was off to Dumfries & Galloway for the annual countercultural Wickerman Festival.
This was my first time at Wickerman and indeed my first time at any kind of music festival. Being a somewhat loner and antisocial creature most of the time, the idea of camping in a field with thousands of other people never really appealled to me, but on this occasion I decided to grit my teeth and see what this event had to offer.
The turnout, I estimate, was probably in the region of about ten thousand - a nice amount by all standards with music and entertainment tents all within easy walking distance of each other. Mohawks, hippies and all round general weirdos seemed to make up the vast majority of the crowd, whilst the festival at the same time managed to maintain a family friendly policy with an environment that was suitable for all ages.
Police and security were also quite relaxed and only idiots who promoted their substance use were busted upon entering the site. Instead the festival maintained a policy of tolerence, concentrating on drug education and support rather than coming down heavy on users and abusers (if only that policy could be adopted for the rest of the country we might have fewer casualties).
Top favourite artists: Neville Staple (The Specials), Hugh Cornwell (The Stranglers) and Gary Numan (whom a friend said "performed the kind of material Nine Inch Nails could be doing if only they weren't such pretentious pussies").
The mainstream media has largely ignored the success of Wickerman and I'm glad. With no major incidents taking place it would be a shame if the festival became as popular as the likes of T In The Park or Glastonbury, both of which have become mainstream, commercial and over-populated by morons.
I'll be there next year for sure and will probably continue to return each year until it has been ruined by popularity and hijacked by popular culture. media-underground.net

Okay, so I did it. I cut my ties with trying to use social networking tools as a means of promoting this site. What the hell is the point?
I understand how some of you creative people use it as a tool to market yourselves, but I can bear it no longer. Bebo, MyFace, SpaceBook, Tripe, whatever.
No. No more. No more of this Rupert Murdoch wet dream!
If you are using social networking to keep in touch with friends, then maybe you should delete your profile and go for beers with the people you claim to care about so much. If you are using it to market your product/self/idea/website/book/band/whatever, then make your idea different enough to not need the likes of MySpace.
If it fails, it's probably because you and your ideas are crap.
I'll take my chances without it. Thanks all the same Rupert, for your handy tool. media-underground.net

Well, here it is: me being interviewed by Greg Kaminsky on his Occult Of Personality podcast. This is my first ever introduction to podcasting but fortunately for both of us Greg is a good interviewer who had enough questions to ask to keep the discussion going. So here I am talking about stuff I rarely talk about, and sounding very Scottish.
All that aside, Greg's show is awesome. He gets all kinds of guests. So once you get fed up listening to me, go check out his archive.
Greg has also written a very positive review of my The Probationer's Handbook which I'd like to thank him for:
'Having read this book, it is recommended to anyone who has a desire to practice Magick in this system. The selected material and it’s composition is excellent. George’s commentary is both accurate and helpful, notably his descriptions and methods for working through difficult periods of study and practice. This is something that is extremely valuable in a practical sense. A truly effective instructional manual that was previously only available in very limited private release, this work is a worthwhile addition for those aspiring to practice in a Thelemic tradition.'
Tune in to hear us discuss Magick, Thelema, the AL II 76 cipher, UFOs, media and much, much more. (Occult Of Personality podcast). media-underground.net

Written ten years ago and filed away on a shelf to gather dust, The Probationer's Handbook was a project I had all intentions of getting published at the time, but never quite got around to.
Now with the arrival of innovative book publishing websites like lulu.com, The Probationer's Handbook is finally available to purchase in paperback.
Subtitled A Manual Of Instruction For The Student Of The A.'.A.'., the work is primarily a handbook for those wishing to commence solitary work on Aleister's Crowley's A.'.A.'. system of magical and spiritual attainment.
Receiving an outstanding review from the late occult writer Gerald Suster in the winter 1997/98 edition of London based esoteric journal Talking Stick, the book - whilst no longer reflecting my prefered approach to modern day occult practice - is still considered by myself to be an invaluable handbook for those interested in commencing the probationary tasks of the A.'.A.'. syllabus.
As Gerald Suster wrote: "Mortimer's book is grounded in that of Crowley yet he goes beyond it and I think the Master Therion would applaud. He tackles issues obviously based on experience, which have never been satisfactorily tackled before. If you have the slightest sincere interest in Magick and human evolution, you really must get hold of this book. The author's acid wit regarding New Age garbage adds spice to this excellent work. Do you really want to make Magick? If so, you must beg, borrow or steal a copy of this wonderful book."
Available for a mere £7.77 ($14.10) at lulu.com one hopes that individuals drawn towards Crowleyan occultism will find this 100-page manuscript helpful and informative despite being written a decade ago.
Personally, I'm just glad the damned thing is out so that I can finally move on to other projects without having the niggling knowledge that I spent so much time writing it to see my only copy wither away on a dusty bookshelf.
Order your copy today and feel free to write a review, post feedback or contact me with questions. media-underground.net

This time the cocksucker was unable to cause the amount of damage that he did last time, due to me applying multiple passwords to the various applications running on this site.
From what I understand, the BitTorrent tracker had a security flaw whereby a guest user could upgrade himself to administrator and then create havoc from within. This flaw has now been fixed, however, it required another database reset, which means that - yet again - you will have to register your account with the tracker.
My apologies for the inconvenience. Clearly someone doesn't like what we're doing here, however, it was fortunate that another attack happened in such a short space of time.
On this occasion the hacker left a calling card (I would suggest that you don't try to access the URL on the image - it'll probably initiate a malicious script).
A quick Google search on the name, however, reveals a considerable history of pissing people off, (most notably throughout the hacker community). If anyone wants to help me track this fucktard, feel free to email me with information. I'll be pursuing any leads vigorously.
In the meantime, you might as well sign back up to the tracker. media-underground.net
Friday, June 8. 2007
The media underground BitTorrent tracker is now up and running again. Unfortunately I've had to make a fesh installation of the software due to the original database being damaged beyond repair.
This means that if you've had an account with us before then you'll have to register again. Whilst this is a pain in the ass, it's hardly a tragedy since our first attempts at running this tracker were fairly unsuccessful.
We now have an opportunity to make a fresh start, and having just built myself a new download PC (which I plan to keep connected to the internet 24/7) I'll be uploading a number of torrents over the next few days.
Please try and share back as much as you download, and help make this the place for underground torrents (Torrent Underground). media-underground.net

For anyone who doesn't know: media underground got hacked at the weekend and the entire website file structure was deleted from the server. Fortunately I was able to recover everything and upload all the files again (so go blow that out your ass, jackfuck who screwed this place up for two days).
Somethings aren't working properly yet (notably the forum and the torrent section), but I should be able to figure it out before the end of the week. The forum is currently proving to be a bit of a headache, but I'm getting there and haven't lost any of the archived data.
In the meantime we've still got the chat client running, so click on the chat button to the left if you need to speak to anyone that usually hangs around on the forum.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks to everyone who emailed me pledging their support. I guess the only sensible way to deal with this is to treat it as a compliment and realise that we must be doing something right to warrant such an attack. media-underground.net

Alright you twisted freaks!
We've now set up our very own live chat client. You can access it by clicking on the "chat" button to the left.
Plans are underway to set up a weekly discussion roundtable, where we will discuss any given subject and no doubt solve all the world's problems without actually doing anything.
It should be a blast, possibly.
Otherwise you can use it to plan the revolution or get to know the small selection of freaks who regularly visit this site.
Enjoy! media-underground.net

This whole sordid situation is an utter disgrace and emphasizes clearly what we have all known for ages: that fundamentally Britain is in America's pocket.
British citizens can be plucked from their home soil and extradited to the U.S. on nothing but suspicion alone, whilst American citizens are protected by their constitutional rights from ever being extradited to the United Kingdom.
McKinnon was clearly on British soil when he commited these crimes - if one could actually consider them crimes at all.
Internet security is the responsibility of all internet users. The fact that the most powerful nation on the planet didn't have the common sense to apply the most basic internet security to its most sensitive data is, quite frankly, an international embarassment if not a manoeuvre to deliberately entrap and make an example of someone as naive as Gary McKinnon.
I suspect he'll lose his case and be shipped out. Who needs passwords to protect sensitive data when you can simply apply fear and terror to diminish human curiousity?
The sooner Britain gets out of America's pocket and learns to stand on its own two feet again, like the powerful nation it once was, the safer all U.K. citizens will be (whether from terrorist threats, unnecessary extradition, or gung-ho, crazy Yank, retard-cowboy foreign policy). Sure, Britain would suffer financially (at least initially), but even temporary poverty is a small price to pay for true freedom.
Curiousity may have indeed killed the cat, but is it right that it should imprison McKinnon? media-underground.net

Regulars to media underground may have noticed that a number of new individuals have been contributing material to this site over the past couple of months.
Basically, I felt that this site has been reflecting my own personal opinions for too long and I figured it was time to expand and let others in on the action.
Check out the about page for a breakdown on each of the contributors. Others will be sure to join us once good people have been identified.
If you're interested in becoming a contributor to media underground then sign up to the forum and start debating. If you appear to talk sense then the current team will take a vote on bringing you on board. media-underground.net

James Inman sees a grassy knoll on every corner, which is why I'm delighted that he's agreed to come on board as a columnist and submit material to media underground from time to time.
Standup comic, hopeless alcoholic, and author of the wonderful travel guide Greyhound Diary, Inman is a trip and an international treasure.
Here's what he had to say about me:
"I've said it before and I will say it again: Mortimer is an alien. He was sent to earth to spread perplexity. I have no idea why no-one else sees this, I have eyewitness testimony and physical evidence that he has an alien spaceship in his basement and he's trying to backwards engineer the technology for nefarious purposes. If you meet him in person you will not meet the real Mortimer. He has an exact replica double that he sends out for media events and he lives in a castle in Edinburgh. This castle is fortified with a ten foot metal gate and surrounded by surveillance cameras. The property is owned and operated by Raytheon."

Some might consider it a step backwards to have ended up a postman after working in the Process Department of a “prestigious” defence contractor. But I couldn’t really give a shit. There’s something honest about being a posty that resonates deeply within me and seems to be more constructive than engineering machinery for war.
Of course, for all I cared or understood, I could’ve been making parts for washing machines or vibrators and took no interest in any of the products whatsoever. Eight years of having no interest is a long time. Eight years of listening to corporate horseshit and dealing with malicious back-stabbing can turn a man bitter, and what better a way to purge the bile from one’s system than to be out in the open early morning air.

Several days ago I started working for Sky, a company that is owned by that evil bastard Rupert Murdoch. This for me was to be little more than a stop-gap job until I found something real to do. The job entailed me being part of the technical support team for the forthcoming Sky Broadband service that is currently being hawked at every media outlet.
"If you hold out for your 13 weeks probationary period you'll be given free Sky TV,"; was the main rhetoric that came from the lips of every soulless cabbage working there.
Oh Jesus! Lucky freaking me! I can’t imagine anything more exciting than being surrounded with Sky propaganda for 39 hours every week, and then coming home to have that bullshit beamed directly into my living room.
Well, I’m happy to say I didn’t last 13 hours in that job. After two days of attending their team playing, group hugging, pointless fucking training program, I came over all faint-like and vomited the entire contents of my stomach into their toilet bowl.

I've decided to feature some of the more interesting material that appeared on the old media underground site over the years.

I will continue to add to it as the weeks progress. media-underground.net

Yesterday afternoon I received an email from Andrist asking if I'd been abducted. "If you need words that rhyme with suck for a review let me know," he remarked.
I felt bad. I'd been sitting on his CD for months and had been promising to review it ever since it was sent out around March this year. In my defence I'd been going through some weird shit which culminated in me being fired from my day job.
So I promised to review it the following day and sat down that night to watch What's Eating Gilbert Grape - a movie that I hadn't seen in quite some time. And that's when it hit me. Holy Jumping Jesus! Andy Andrist reminds me of Arnie Grape (the retard played by Leonardo Di Cappuccino in the movie).

Alright you twisted freaks!
Well, I know things have been quiet around here of late, but over the past couple of weeks I was going through the process of being fired from my highly inspiring day job.
I must be the only person ever to get fired plus acquire money from my employers in the process (okay John Prescott probably beats me on that one), however, it only took three working days to pick up another job, so no love lost. You'd think after 8 years with one company I'd actually give a damn.
Wrong again.
I'll be ramping things back up here on media underground very soon so bear with me.
The old archive site has been taken offline since it was using up way to much bandwidth, but I have plans to feature some of the old shit whilst moving forward with something new.
Joyride journalism, baby. Stay tuned. media-underground.net

Here’s a little advice to anyone thinking of signing up to a new broadband service provider...
Avoid Evolution DSL at all costs.
It’s been over ten days now since I stupidly signed up to them, and without a word of a lie I’ve had better speeds on dial-up.
It was greed, initially, I guess. The promise of having an unlimited monthly download allowance on a “blistering 8Mbit” line for only twenty-five quid a month seemed too good to resist. It was also too good to be true and I think Chris Wilkie (the company’s director) really meant to say “blundering 8Kbyte”.
Wilkie has already admitted to bandwidth shaping on an unofficial support forum, despite the company’s promise of unlimited internet with “no P2P throttling, hidden caches or bandwidth limits”. The reason this is on an unofficial support forum is because, well, Evolution DSL don’t provide any support. There’s no telephone number to call, no support team that will respond to your emails, and no way of getting your hands around the criminal Wilkie’s neck to strangle the bastard to death.
Try as you might to acquire your migration code, your emails will be flatly ignored, which is why I figured it would be much better to use what little bandwidth I have left and expose this cowboy through the only medium that might make any difference.
Having contacted Watchdog, Ofcom and Trading Standards, I have to say I prefer this approach. 8K might not be a lot, Mr. Wilkie, but it sure is enough to hang you up by the balls with.

There are many words one can use to describe the anomaly known as James Inman. ‘Stand-up Comic’ is one such phrase, ‘Rural Punk Gen-X Anti-Hero’ is another. One might also refer to him as a ‘Recurring Alcoholic’ or ‘Angry Middle-Aged Man’ - yet whatever James is he certainly loves to torture himself, and in so doing can occasionally manifest “Genius”.
I first met James at the Edinburgh Festival in 2004. After his show we went for drinks where he proceeded to knock back a number of large shots in what seemed like some peculiar mission to rid himself of the evils of abstinence.
“Don’t tell Father Luke,” he whispers to me through the haze of some alcohol induced exorcism, “I just fell off the wagon last week in Amsterdam.”
I nod in agreement, not quite sure how else to react.
“Mortimer, you’re an alien...” he remarks at the end of the evening, “and I’m watching you very closely.” His eyes narrow into paranoid slits before he staggers off into the night.

Check out this highly entertaining Channel 4 News video report about George Galloway's exposure of News Of The World 'investigative journalist' Mazher Mahmood - aka the 'Fake Sheikh'. Mahmood's hack style of entrapment reminds me a lot of another News Of The Screws 'investigative journalist' - Chris Blythe - who cost occult writer Gerald Suster his job as an English teacher at a top public school back in the late 80s (article here). Fortunately, like Mahmood, Blythe came to a sticky end in 1996 when he was killed in a road accident at the age of 30 (never fuck with an occultist). It would seem, however, that rags like the News Of The World have an ability to produce more than their fair share of vile scum resolute on destroying people's lives for the purpose of creating a titillating read. Incidentally, several years after writing this article on Suster for Disinfo, I received an email from one of Gerald's former pupils who described Suster as being an inspiring and popular teacher who was unfairly dismissed for his interests in Thelemic culture. The incident cost the News Of The World £90,000 but it cost Gerald his job, home and two years of agony before the matter was resolved in the courts. Anyway, ten out of ten to George Galloway for bagging another hack. media-underground.net

Saturday night's trip to see Henry Rollins perform at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh seemed like a damn good closure to an otherwise chilled week's holiday. Taking time out from the usual mundane horseshit - whilst simultaneously switching off from most of what's happening in the media - was wholly necessary and beneficial towards recharging my batteries. I'm trying to start up my own business this year in an effort to quit working for the man. Too many projects and so little time. The only thing that keeps me ticking over is the knowledge and confidence that I'll soon be out of the rat race once the business becomes financially viable. It feels good to be on that road - to be building something up that is generated by my own momentum. Once established I doubt I will ever work for another organisation again.

Man, it feels good to wake up on a Sunday morning with no memory of any madcap activity from the night previous. Last weekend, however, things were very different indeed, yet we had good reason to celebrate.
You see, Scotland beat England at Rugby in the Six Nations Tournament and we don’t normally tend to win at anything in this country (since fundamentally we’re a nation of losers). If you live in the States you probably have no idea what Rugby Union is, suffice it to say that it’s like American Football but without all the padding and gayness.
Rugby, however, is a proper sport and not at all like the bastardised version played across the pond. It’s the last of the great blood sports (since boxing has become all too safe recently) and participants regularly break bones, lose teeth and tear ligaments in the name of entertainment. The only way Rugby could be made more interesting is if you released wild beasts onto the pitch, otherwise it’s a fine and perfect sport.
Rugby is also appreciated by civilised people and doesn’t attract the attention of fuckwits like its counterpart Football (aka ‘Soccer’ if you’re an illiterate American). The problem with British Football is that nothing actually happens. Basically, two teams of sissies will pass a ball backwards and forwards for 90 excruciating minutes. Every so often one of the sissies will pretend to have been kicked, at which point he will roll around on the ground and start crying until he is either stretchered off the field or wins a penalty. Very often games will finish on a nil-nil draw, at which point the crowd leave the stadium so frustrated and enraged that they go stab each other to death on the street for no reason other than one of them prefers the colour green over blue (or vice-versa).

Whilst I've never been a great enthusiast for Microsoft products, I've equally never been a huge supporter of the current Mozilla Firefox fad that seems to be taking the internet community by storm. Sure, the tabbed browsing is sweet, but other than that the browser seems a little ropey to me, having a tendency to mess with the overall design of certain websites whilst eliminating a number of aesthetic features such as customised scrollbars and the like. Fortunately, last week, Microsoft released their first public beta of Internet Explorer 7, and I have to say it makes Firefox look like an incomplete college project. Tabbed browsing is included in the new IE7 along with a wonderful new security feature to eliminate phishing. Whilst it is clear that Microsoft have once again pilfered all the good ideas from their rivals, they have equally, at least, finished the job off properly with the most streamlined version of Internet Explorer yet. You can check out the new beta version of IE7 here, however, you might want to hack round the Security Certificate if you're running a ripped copy of Windows XP. Microsoft, like a company desperate to send itself to the grave, have prevented the browser from being installed without first passing an online certification check. My advice is to download an already hacked copy of IE7 from a reputable BitTorrent site if you happen to be one of the many millions who opted not to pay through the nose for your operating system. media-underground.net

A change is as good as a rest, as they say, and who the hell am I to argue with “them”? After seven years of working for the same company it is clearly time to look at taking the middleman right out of the financial equation entirely and start earning directly from the source. That is why I’ve just purchased a reliable car. That is why this year, ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to become my own boss. It’s not that I particularly detest my job at present - sure the internal politics are downright bizarre and the money’s crap, but it’s not exactly ball-breaking work. What concerns me is that industry, in general, is evaporating from this country, and I swear I can almost smell another recession just around the corner. The culprit is, of course, the abundance of cheap labour overseas. Why pay a fat white guy a hundred quid to do something dull when you can get a skinny little brown dude to do it twice as fast for a fraction of the cost? It makes good business sense to the shareholder perhaps, but when there’s no economy left who the hell does your company sell its products to? Maybe it’s the onset of my midlife crisis, but as I fast approach halfway through this gig, I reckon there’s gonna be pretty much nothing in the pension fund for me at 65. In fact chances are - if I keep travelling down the path that I’m currently on - I’ll be working well into my 70s (if I haven’t killed myself first, of course). No way, Jose. Time for a rethink, methinks.

Am I the only person in the world who thinks George Galloway is cool? Man, I love that guy - what a freaking rock star! I mean, balls of steel. Galloway for PM! Everybody I speak to thinks he's a dick, but that's only because they read The Sun, subscribe to the herd mentality, and are completely incapable of any form of independent thought whatsoever. I find it amusing how the gutter press and his fellow parliamentarians had to wait until he was out of the way for 21 days to launch criticism against him, yet now that he's out of the Big Brother house they're cowering in the corner like common fly larvae. Sure, Galloway's antics in the BB house were controversial - if not occasionally embarassing - but Jesus, imagine how much of a twat any one of us would look if cameras were to be trained on us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for three monotonous weeks. Normally I despise reality TV shows like Big Brother, but this time - for some peculiar reason - I was glued to the tube every night of the week like a video game retard.

My good friend Father Luke (the renegade priest) seems to have either hit the road again or has merely decided to ditch the internet for a while and seek inspiration elsewhere (and perhaps all with good reason).
He's left a mission statement on his website that should be a wake up call to a lot of people out there - particularly many of you who visit media underground and then email me with your dumb perceptions of what you think is right. As the padre explains...
'I'm a writer. What you are perceiving takes place in your own head when you read the words.
'Remember, these are words. The action takes place in your imagination. If the words upset you? Hey, congratulations! You’ve found your very own imagination and you’re using it to be upset at me.'
If you've never read anything by the Good Faddah then I guess it's time you did. His words will either move and inspire you or simply disturb and subvert - depending on how much of a moron you are.
Now go read Father Luke and learn something before his wonderful website disappears.
Oh yeah, and Padre... best of luck to you man, wherever the hell you are.
