MC Frontalot — Secrets From The Future
 by in Arts & Poetry, Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Interesting Links, Internet & Technology, Media, Religion & Politics, Music, Security & Privacy |
Hey again! Long time no post, I know…. busy, life, et cetera, but this I just needed to share.
I was just reading Bruce Schneier’s CRYPTO-GRAM and he linked to this suprisingly good track (direct link to MP3) by MC Frontalot, called Secrets From The Future (direct link to the lyrics).
To quote the chorus:
You can’t [...]
Hey! Teacher! Leave those kids alone!
So a couple of weeks ago I heard the news that, on my old “high-school”, a teacher was put on non-active because he was having a sex-chat with a 12 year old girl on the internet while his laptop-screen contents were beamed onto a big screen in front of the entire classroom. (Dutch article here.)
Interestingly, [...]
Nice kit…
With the current iPhone hype it’s cool to see an open device like the Neo1973. There’s even an edition that includes a special screwdriver so you can really take that to the literal level.
Poisoning the Masses, part 2
| by in Conspiracies, Health |
A few years ago, me and my girlfriend started to become more aware of what food we are eating; specifically noting the various additives the industry puts in them.
As you may have read before we now stay away from products that contain aspartame and have stopped using toothpaste that contains fluoride.
At that time I hadn’t [...]
Brother Ali: Uncle Sam Goddamn
| by in Media, Religion & Politics, Music |
I hadn’t heard of or read about this artist until about half an hour ago, while reading about Rock The Bells (too bad it won’t be doing Europe). Anyway, here’s a video I could find:
Marten Fortuyn is only out for money…
So…. the brother of the politician that got shot dead in 2002, is going to sue the state, or at least two guys that were in government at the time. According to this news-article (Dutch), Mr. Fortuyn states that it is now time because he has had the time to get over it.
Well… get over [...]
So I was trying to Google a telephone number…
| by in Computers & Hardware, Freedom & Repression, Internet & Technology, Music Industry & DRM, Random Rantings |
…when suddenly Google suggested the following search term:
09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0
Now what the fuck is that?
You screwed around as a teen, now why can’t your kids?
Couldn’t help but notice the ‘hype’ surrounding the article entitled ‘You Grew Up Playing Shoot’em-Up Games. Why Can’t Your Kids?…. Although the title of that article may sound grown-up and wise, personally, I think it’s a bullshit wise-crack because I seriously doubt it has anything to do at all with computer games at all.
You [...]
The Inuit and Christianity
I was watching a TV recording last night, in it they showed an old news-reel of Inuit celebrating Easter. I was immediately like “WTF” — Christian beliefs, way over there? I couldn’t believe it. Because I wouldn’t think Christians would’ve their balls frozen off trying to convert those folks. And second, because I would’ve thought [...]
I got a voting-pass but I’ve lost the passion to vote
| by in Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Ideas & Concepts, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings |
So, following last years November elections, the upcoming government has been formed and we’re up for another term with Yawn-Peter Balkenende as our prime-minister.
It’s not surprising to see that these criminals get away with an un-just war. No investigation into the Iraqcle (Iraq + Debacle) — it’s a fucking joke how easy they can get [...]
LMAO! Minister must explain how a guy, with Joker-style make-up job, got a passport an ID-card
My girlfriend just called me about this hilarious bit about a guy that had gotten a passport with his picture made while he looked like The Joker from the Batman series.
Apparently, after stating that ‘this was his way of life’, the municipal office didn’t see no problem with it, and issued a passport an ID-card.
This [...]
Fuck The Police!
No justice no peace, motherfuckers.
When do this idiots get it into their thick heads that they are there to serve the fucking people, and not to attempt to keep up their appearance?
See, over here in the Netherlands, a 16 year old (!!!) girl was arrested and fined (and her jacket was taken) because her [...]
Saddam Hussein probably hanged this Saturday
Although denied by some officials, the rumours started to spread that Saddam Hussein might be hanged this Saturday.
Civilisation eh.
Developed eh.
Free world eh.
And if you don’t like it, we’ll hang ya.
Hang the imperialists!
Flaming one company and praising the other — while both companies are trying to accomplish the same goals — really makes you look like an idiot.

So, a lot of negative stuff about the PS3 I read this morning. Lately there was some rumours about stacks of PS3s at numerous stores, like as if nobody wants them. Today another story on Slashdot about PS3s freezing up — reportedly.
Anyways, I wouldn’t have given this any more attention if I didn’t catch somebody [...]
Samba developer resigns from Novell
Gloklaw has an article about a software developer’s resignation from Novell as a result of Novell’s deal with Microsoft, yesterday.
Jeremy Allison, a Samba developer, thinks the patent deal between the two companies will be “damaging to the Novell’s success in the future”,
Whilst the Microsoft patent agreement is in place there is *nothing* we can [...]
Gen-tech contaminated rice found in Dutch supermarkets
Earlier this month results from research by Greenpeace indicated that a certain brand of rice that is sold in Dutch supermarkets is contaminated with genetically modified crops. (I wouldn’t have caught this if I didn’t check Indymedia.)
According to the article, it’s contaminated with a type of modified rice that can survive a certain weed-killer. [...]
Terrorism-suspect being extradited to the US
Wow — some Dutch terrorism suspect is being extradited to the US.
That isn’t at all ‘news’ or anything, but I find it most interesting here (in my opinion anyways) that he will be the first guy tried for terrorism in the US since the 9/11 attacks.
Impotent government — they couldn’t even catch one on [...]
Cute…
Cute.. I quote:
Players and creators of video games could face imprisonment for acts of virtual violence under draft legislation being drawn up by two of Germany’s state governments.
It could’ve been an article on The Onion but sadly — it ain’t no joke. ‘Der’ Man wants to illegalise in-game violence thinking that it will prevent kids [...]
I guess the truth really, really is inconvenient…
I have just caught this article here and it sickens me how, the ‘free world that the terrorist envy‘, is all run by money. I just hope some of the parents are wise enough to teach their kids, though… I mean, yeah, they’re American, but that doesn’t mean that they’re all morons, even a retard [...]
“Minority report” slowly becoming a reality…
I just read this article about psychologists [that] are putting together a list of the 100 most dangerous murderers and rapists before they have committed any such crimes.
That’s pretty scary — especially if mix that news with a little bit of this and a little bit of that…
White-supremacist butt-fuckers messing wit’ MLK…
I just love this initiative to Googlebomb a white-supremacist website (found it while connecting*the*dots).
The content of the site really is sickening and vile. Of course, such a site should be taken down, but denial of service attacks are childish. And, everybody has a right to express themselves, even a white supremacist.
But… this isn’t expression… [...]
And in a couple of years, Linux users are terrorists, undermining our freedoms…
| by in Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Media, Religion & Politics, Music Industry & DRM, Random Rantings, Visions |
So, Microsoft has made the bold claim that their intellectual property is in it.
Oh my fucking god. This is serious because there are plenty of stupid people in this world to believe that crap. Fuck, the critical majority, in each and every issue, is dumber than a horses ass and knows just enough to [...]
Oooooh a student got abused and tazed by police — so now what?
I just caught this sick shit through The Register…. Guy gets tazed by cops because he couldn’t show an ID card.
“Stand up or you will get tazed again?”
What the frigging fuck? Of course, everybody says it’s a bad thing. Sure, I’m not saying that it isn’t….
But, I don’t know what upsets me more here. The [...]
Heh
In case you missed it, I just read on The Register about the Sun reporting on 2 guys showing up at the UN’s London headquarters to demand recognition for their religion…
I’m waiting for the frigging pope to start yapping about looking and acting like a Jedi is a threat to integration…
Quote Of The Week #34
I was listening some old-school music the other day (because I love to reminisce) and couldn’t resist using it as this weeks QOTW…It was Ice-T’s Power album, the song Radio Suckers I was listening to, hearing the following line again (which doesn’t even apply to rap-music only):
We shouldn’t sell out,we should just yell out
And get [...]
Death to corporate mafia!

When I read shit like this it makes my fucking heart bleed.
PROPRIETARY software emperor Microsoft has struck a deal with the Linux reseller Novell to make it easier for customers to use both Linux and Microsoft’s Windows software.
The deal will make the Vole a SuSE Linux seller and will mean the pair will share technology. [...]
It’s 2006 and this world still stinks…
Last night I had a hard time getting asleep and couldn’t resist thinking about the sorry sick state our world is in, the way that it is getting spinned out of control caused mainly by the corruption-prone mechanics of politics and economics.
About how megalomanic people are put in powerful positions and how they, slowly and [...]
If they can’t even protect their ‘most valuable good’…
Reading about that ATM hack again today I was thinking this:
If they can’t even protect their ‘most valuable good’, how can we expect voting machines to tell the truth?
Jehova’s Witnesses at my door…
Ah — the joys of working at home… Not only are you able to do practical things like, be home to let some ordered goods arrive or go to the bank opened at times a normal person is working, but you also get to meet all those nice people trying to sell you crap.
For instance, [...]
A new coffeeshop has opened in town I grew up in…
If you remembered, I once posted about my favourite coffeeshop being shut-down in the city I used to grow up in. The municipality shut it down because it was too near a school; and the owners didn’t have a, well, completely ‘clean’ sheet. (Hell, to me its a few home-dealers going legit, which is a [...]
Just arrived by snail-mail: The Coup - Party Music
This is a relatively old CD (2001), but when Sean at connecting*the*dots once recommended it to me a couple of months ago I started looking around for it, checking for on-line stores that actually still had this CD in stock. At the time, I thought I found one, but it took a couple of weeks [...]
Yay, Donner stepping down.
It’s official, Donner is stepping down from his position as minister of Justice.
And it all happened while I was busy coding I didn’t even notice if the gf didn’t call me.
See, I never did trust the guy. During his time in the government, the guy survived a few ‘motions of distrust’, which they call [...]
Loose Change 2nd Edition to be aired on public Dutch TV
| by in Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, History |
So I was waking up this morning, when some morning TV programme my girlfriend was watching, was discussing something that I heard of earlier, the initiative ditkannietwaarzijn.nl (tr. this can’t be true) to get more attention to the lies and deceit that we have come to know as 9/11.
Well, anyways, the most important thing that [...]
Not having anything to hide; rather fearing other peoples interpretation of the facts…
| by in Computers & Hardware, Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Media, Religion & Politics, Security & Privacy, Software, Visions |
The title of this post has always been my biggest fear about Big Brother watching everybody’s move, registering everything they buy, et cetera.
See, I really have nothing to hide. I fear that ‘The Man’ only wrongly interprets the information and I get Red Flagged for nothing.
People always thought I was kidding when I said that, [...]
Plane returns to Schiphol…..
| by in Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, The Netherlands |
….and none of the arrested people have been taken into custody because of ‘terrorism’.
Now that comes as a surprise… </sarcasm>

Genetic class-system
So I was reading this blurb on Slashdot on a genetically modified mouse lacking a certain gene that is responsible for the feelings of ‘depression’ when suddenly this hit me:
In the future, not only will there be a divide in classes, i.e. an economic divide, but it will be genetic as well.
So, the ‘general public’, [...]
Analysis: Murder in the skies…
The Register runs a nice article analysis on the ‘foiled’ plane-bomb plan:
We’re told that the suspects were planning to use TATP, or triacetone triperoxide, a high explosive that supposedly can be made from common household chemicals unlikely to be caught by airport screeners. A little hair dye, drain cleaner, and paint thinner - all easily [...]
Quote Of The Week #22
For this 22nd Quote Of The Week, we’ll focus on Emiliano Zapata, who once said (or rather, wrote, in a letter to Pancho Villa):
Ignorance and obscurantism have never produced anything other than flocks of slaves for tyranny.
Quote Of The Week, QOTW
Homeland Security Scare System
Reading all the stuff about the recent ‘foiled’ terrorist attack, I GIMP’d together this thingy. I present to you, the Homeland Security Scare System:
It should be obvious when what level should apply.
Humour, Homeland Security, War On Truth, Propaganda, Fear
Aircraft bomb plot thwarted in Britain..
NY Times reports that a bomb plot has been thwarted, a plot which would create “mass murder on an unimaginable scale”.
Now that’s a hilarious thing to say. How the hell does the press decide what I can’t imagine? I see all the destruction, read stories about the millions of millions of deaths by the hands [...]
Dutch population-growth is slow this year
The Central Bureau of Statistics (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, CBS) reports that the Dutch population has barely grown: the last 6 months there was a mere increase of only 2.000 people, as opposed to 7.000 people in the same period, in the previous year.
Interestingly, the second quarter of 2006 only seen a decrease of [...]
Chomsky on Israel, Lebanon and Palestine…
After just reading a piece on morality, I incidentally discovered this Chomsky-interview published in the Middle East Online, in which he is asked whether the current actions by Israel are legally and morally justified…
The invasion itself is a serious breach of international law, and major war crimes are being committed as it proceeds. There is [...]
This guy doesn’t need no ass-breath killers
Every once in a while this happens. I just discovered this video through the Black Iris of Jordan. I didn’t know Galloway until a few minutes ago but I already like him.
And I’m glad I found it. It’s good to see politicians speaking up and use any opportunity to get ‘the truth‘ out there (in [...]
It’s official: Vulgar lyrics linked to early sex by teenagers
Wow, these guys really deserve a Nobel-prize or something.</sarcasm>
Sheesh — did they really have to research this? When will they realise it’s the nakedness on TV too?
Dumb shit like MTV showing a too-young-a-girl crawling over the floor singing “I’m a slave — for you”, people think that doesn’t influence a childs’ mind?
In Holland we got [...]
People that enforced Saddam’s “regime” now working under new government
This is definite proof that that whole war is a frigging facade.
If I read that the people, responsible for enforcing the killing, murdering regime that they want us to believe Saddam’s responsible for, are now working under the new government, well, need I say more?
You probably remember WW II — I do, it happened [...]
The Mythical Convergence Box
So, a Slashdot-post links to this article on the mythical convergence TV / PC that seems just that: a myth.
Obviously, the guy has never learned about MythTV: I got a PC running that in my living room — and it works like a charm.
The technology is already there, and peope are ready for it [...]
Give up your PIN-code to some criminal holding you at gun-point?
| by in Belegana, Freedom & Repression, Health, Ideas & Concepts, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, Security & Privacy, The Netherlands, Visions |
Well, go to jail already! In the Netherlands, the police will label anybody that hands over their PIN-code, as a ’suspect of a criminal act’. Of course, there are things to be said against, and pro…. But, of course, I’m more leaning towards against: I didn’t fucking ask for a fucking banking-card that is protected [...]
The irony: Windows broken before shipped…
| by in Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Humour, Interesting Links, Music Industry & DRM, Random Rantings, Security & Privacy |
So, while a Microsoft spokesman was trying to relay its wet-dream to listeners (i.e. was intellectually masturbating) on the security in Window Vista, a Polish female researcher was demonstrating how the ’security’ can be bypassed, thus resulting in exactly the same unsafe situation as with earlier Windows variants.
Real funny, that.
Safe computing is impossible if the [...]
Oh no the sky is falling: Terrorism-suspect arrested in the Netherlands
| by in Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, The Netherlands |
So the media finds it again necessary to turn up the heat (i.e. scare-monger some more) here in the Netherlands. During some routine check the police arrested a guy that was on an international all-point-bulletin type of thing. The person was suspected of slaying 15 people and, of course, of taking part in a terrorist [...]
Shifting away responsibility and blame…
So, de Van Der Sloot case is in the news again.
It really makes me sick how parents rather point the finger at someone else, whereas they are just as responsible for this situation in the first place.
Sure it is a sad story that somebody made the girl disappear, and of course, it is irrelevant that [...]
