Ouch, McKinnon extradition emminent…
Who the fuck were they trying to kid anyway — trying to prevent the USA from getting their scapegoat: Gary McKinnon is to be extradited to US.
If he is prevented from committing suicide, and if he’s technically any good, he is most probably going to end up working for the US army.
Either way, good [...]
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:

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, [...]

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

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

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.

So I was trying to Google a telephone number…

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.

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

“Minority report” slowly becoming a reality…

Freaks of Nature (or: why cellphone-based triggering devices are only used in the movies)
Freaks of Nature, and I’m not talking about a band name. I’m talking about what happened to me last week.
You know, with the summer coming, we bought this handy wireless doorbell so that we can hear it ringing when we are, say, drinking with friends in the garden. Our ‘default’ doorbell doesn’t ring that [...]
Congress finds ‘proof’ for Jihad against the US.
Well, ‘proof’….
Some guy created a video where, instead of attacking Muslims or whatever, you could see American soldiers getting shot. OMFG — people are really getting uptight nowadays.
If that is proof for a jihad, then there’s plenty proof for a big large psy-op where the majority of the people has been tricked into believing [...]
New ‘cybercrime’ laws in effect…
| by in Freedom & Repression, Internet & Technology, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, Security & Privacy, The Netherlands |
Well, in the Netherlands anyway.
Today, parliament decided to accept 2 new laws in order to make it easier to repress, suppress and oppress.
See, this new law has some things in it that could effectively send anyone to Gbay, or at least some jail.
Now it is made illegal to intrude a computer system.
No matter [...]
Amnesty International: Irrepressible.info
You might already have heard about it — because of increasing Internet censorship, Amnesty International started the irrepressible.info site. I read about this site a few days ago, but today, after signing the pledge, I also found some time to include censored fragments in the header of this page. (Banners in my header are displayed [...]
In a true ‘free’ world…
So, in the Netherlands, mucho talk about this newly formed political party getting all this media attention.

WHAT FUCKING FREEDOMS (Dutch) ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I look around and see the quality of life terribly deteriorating: schools don’t have any decent budgets because of the ongoing mock-up wars. I can’t even walk the fucking street at night without getting fucking stared at.
So who’s the fucking terrorist? No ‘terrorist’ has bombed my neighbourhood. [...]
Bin Laden declares that Moussaoui is not linked to 9/11
Hey, but we only believe terrorists when they say they have done something that we still have to find a scapegoat for.

What’s wrong with that picture?

It’s official: The World suffers from War On Truth Terror
Amnesty International’s 2006 World Report is released today, RadioFreeEurope reports:

Ayaan: the ‘plot’ continues…
| by in Freedom & Repression, General, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, Security & Privacy, The Netherlands |
Now it’s mentioned on the news that she believes that the Dutch government should protect her, even when she’s in the US.
She says that the governments responsibility doesn’t end at the border. Well, last time I checked the Dutch law I read that is only applicable on Dutch territory.
Yeah yeah, so she wants us [...]
More on Ayaan…
…so I hear on the radio that the US criticises the way that us Dutch people are handling Ayaan’s situation, throwing her out like that.
Apparently, some diplomat from the Dutch embassy over there told the US press that, she isn’t being thrown out as the media implies.
Of course, I see the stage getting set — [...]

Media attack on Charlie Sheen

Hmm interestingly the web attempted to close in on Charlie Sheen, but luckily it failed:
WTC survivor and truth activist William Rodriguez was contacted by the Anderson Cooper show and asked if he would go on record as saying the new Pentagon footage dispelled all 9/11 questions. They also requested that he attack Charlie Sheen’s public [...]
Interesting point regarding Flight 77…
I just finished reading this Alex Jones’ article and read this possible scenario, which could possibly be true:

A colleague of mine made the remark that the US is a dangerous country. That seems true at first, but I couldn’t resist making a parallel with the old saying `Who is more a fool, the fool, or the fool that follows the fool?‘.
So, who is more dangerous?
A big bad arrogant country, or all [...]
Don’t believe the American lies!
Well, this comes as a surprise (sarcasm): The Washington Times reports that:
Venezuela has allowed its intelligence service to become a clone of Cuba’s while it shelters groups with ties to Middle East terrorists and allows weapons from its official stockpiles to reach Colombian guerrillas, a senior U.S. official said yesterday.
Of course, that’s a lie. A [...]
Pentagon video released — yeh so what’s new?
So I was making my coffee this morning while my girlfriend was watching the morning news on TV. Suddenly I heard the anchor say “The video surveillance tape of the attack on the Pentagon has been released.“.

Old Commodore 64 game ‘De Sekte’

“Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? Why are we not told [...]
The world according to Chávez
I just discovered this article on the Guardian about Hugo Chávez. I saw some news on TV this morning about the US and some embargo because of Chávez’s ‘liberal’ stance towards Iran.

The biggest sell-out bitch in Dutch politics is in the news, once again. At least on the radio — haven’t read it in (online) print yet.

Nuclear is still nuclear
Interesting to note that there’s some research-reactor in Petten, the Netherlands.
More interesting is its recent switch to a different type of uranium. Apparently, the US government and the International Atomic Energy Society pressured them to do this as the type of uranium they used could be used to manufacture nuclear weapons.
Interesting fact is that the [...]
So what’s in that letter from the Iranian president?
One wonders.
One can only speculate.
One obviously cannot believe what the Rice or Bush say about it.
One remembers the fact that, long before the US started killing and maiming people in Gulf War I, Saddam Hussain did suggest a diplomatic solution (you might not remember because your government was actively repressing that information).
Anyway, what is in [...]
Oh no!

Bruce Schneier, on his blog, mentions the project Rubberhose that implements a ‘Deniable Filesystem‘.

Burqa-wearing women shouldn’t get any social ’security’
Here in the Netherlands, we have this system that gives some ’social’ security to people without a job. Recently, a debate has started that questions whether women, that wear a burqa, that cannot get a job because of the burqa, shouldn’t get any money.
Wow. I made the point in earlier posts, that this anti-burqa thing [...]

Well, ‘fool’ may be a bit harsh. [...]
New UK anti-terror law: Orwell will turn over in his grave
Just reading an article about new Anti-Terrorism Laws going into effect today in the UK.

Yay, they have just criminalised protests [...]
We don’t deal with terrorists!
Our foreign affairs minister, Ben Bot, turns down a report on Islam saying that he will not deal with organisations that support terror.

In case you didn’t know her — she’s our local Condoleeza Rice (in other words, she’s our local enforcer of the racist American imperialist policy). Yeh the US gov’t loves her poking around in Europe.
She’s rather [...]
Another fine example of short-sightedness…
Over the recent months, ’secret’ government information has been leaked through various channels: officials leaving PCs on the pavement for garbage-disposal and leaving information, plain-text, in rented cars on USB sticks.
OK — let it sink in for a while…
What do you think they are doing to prevent this?
Insulted by a ‘mere’ pencil?
The Dutch Volkskrant runs an article in which somebody, again, says something along the lines that it is silly that ‘these people’ are ‘insulted by a mere pencil’. Again, pointing blame at them in stead of the real culprits.
Riiiiiiiiight. Just…
Are we really that civilised?
I just read this post showing the following ‘cartoon’:
Translated
Top Right: “This is Anti-Semitic!â€
Top Left: “And this is Racism!â€
Bottom: “And this is Freedom of Speech!!â€
Nice find, Sean. It’s spot on…
Freedom of Speech, Cartoons, Propaganda, Politics, Media
Publication of cartoons orchestrated?
In Dutch media I found this article which title suggests that the muslim-society was behind this hate-campaign all along. It even hints at the fact they were behind its publication, too.
The article itself, however, never states or actually proves that point. It only speaks of certain groups using the same cartoons as propaganda material.
You would [...]
Paris – Sonic Jihad
| by in Freedom & Repression, Music |
I recently ordered the CD Sonic Jihad by Paris:
It arrived yesterday together with the deluxe edition of an oldie, Sleeping with the Enemy that I also ordered.
Speaking of Sleeping with the Enemy — did you know:
Originally slated for a pre-presidential election release in 1992, this sophomore effort by Paris was intentionally suppressed by the [...]
Burn the US-flag day!
Celibrate Burn the US Flag Day — oh — and your silly god doesn’t even fucking exist.
War in Iraq was already decided on in 2003…
The Guardian reports that:
Tony Blair told President George Bush that he was “solidly” behind US plans to invade Iraq before he sought advice about the invasion’s legality and despite the absence of a second UN resolution, according to a new account of the build-up to the war published today. A memo of a two-hour [...]
Geert Wilders is a dangerous, provoking, politician…
Hear ye’, hear ye’…
Geert Wilders: Another Dutch corrupt fuck ass-hole politician.
If a Muslim burns a European flag or American flag, the country he lives in is as good as invaded and an interim-government installed before you can spell ‘jihad‘.
Dutch mission to Afghanistan is most probably GO
As I predicted earlier, it will be highly improbable that we are not going to send military troops to ‘assist’ in the mission in Afghanistan.
Tomorrow the government will be briefed on the so-called ‘NATO Rules of Engagement‘ that apply in Afghanistan, but I don’t think that’ll stand in the way of this mission.
War On Terror, [...]
Remains of the ‘first African slaves’ discovered
According to an article at LiveScience, researchers have discovered the remains of, probably, the first African slaves in the ‘New World’:
The remains, in a colonial era graveyard in one of the oldest European cities in Mexico, date between the late-16th century and the mid-17th century, not long after Columbus first set foot in the Americas. [...]
RFID passports ‘cracked’…
| by in Freedom & Repression, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, Security & Privacy, The Netherlands |
Fear the Dutch — according to The Register, face and fingerprints swiped in Dutch biometric passport crack:
Dutch TV programme Nieuwslicht (Newslight) is claiming that the security of the Dutch biometric passport has already been cracked. As the programme reports here, the passport was read remotely and then the security cracked using flaws built into the [...]
Maybe Disney’s take-over of Pixar ain’t at all that bad…
According to an article on the Independent Online, Pixar chief asserts his authority over Disney by axing ‘Toy Story 3′:
On Wednesday, less than 24 hours after Mr Jobs and Disney’s new chief executive, Bob Iger, unveiled the merger, Mr Lasseter went to Burbank with Pixar’s president, Ed Catmull. He announced that Toy Story 3 would [...]
Myths about the 1986 Challenger disaster
Interesting article on MSNBC explaining the myths about the Challenger shuttle disaster:
[...] here’s the way the mission may be remembered:
1. Few people actually saw the Challenger tragedy unfold live on television.
2. The shuttle did not explode in the common definition of that word.
3. The flight, and the astronauts’ lives, did not end at that point, [...]
Damn those patents!
What the f….. — this patent-business is insane. The Registers reports on a smileys-patent.
It isn’t about protecting ones intellectual property anymore. Nowadays companies just look around, think of something that is used everywhere, and will attempt to patent it.
With the amount of corrupt fucks in the whole system it seems possible too. Stranger patents have [...]
Now Israel rules out talks with Hamas as well…
Well, following up on this thing, it really comes as absolutely no surprise that now, Israel rules out talks with Hamas as well.
See the game being played and how the Palestinians are treated? As long as the US and Israel don’t like its’ new government they’re on this childish tip until people vote for a [...]
On sex, love and the Pope…
Yeh an eerie combination I know.
Anyways, the pope says that Loveless sex deceives. I don’t know, but I find sexless love much more deceiving!
And why’s this guy an authority on love and sex? He only loves his sexless god and is basically talking about stuff he doesn’t have any experience with.
Or does he? Maybe he [...]
US don’t want to deal with Hamas
Of course the US pushes to keep Hamas out — that’s exactly what Israel told them to do:
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on Thursday, US President George Bush said he would not deal with Hamas unless it abandoned its tough stance on Israel. “A political party, in order to be [...]
On the CIA rendition report…
A crap-load of talk these days about the CIA rendition report, but basically nobody’s saying shit. The main way it seems to be handled in global media is, well, negative. It seems that some want everybody to think that it’s wrong.
WikiNews, however, seems to pick it up quite opposite main stream (US) media:
The report [...]
BBC Hardtalk Extra: Chuck D – still fighting the power
In the latest edition of BBC Hardtalk Extra an interview with Chuck D:
In a HardTalk Extra interview screened on 20th January, Gavin Esler speaks to Chuck D of ground-breaking rap group Public Enemy.
The quality of the online video sucks, so I’m a wait for the re-run on BBC World. Public Enemy, Chuck D
The future looks bleak…
This Movie-Making game reported about on Wired News seems to be the next step surely deteriorating society as we know it.
The article roughly explains how this new game works:
The options available in The Movies are staggering, and are, thankfully, introduced incrementally. You start out by recruiting actors, building a couple of basic sets, and making [...]
Bush lied about Katrina
We all know that Bush is a lying son-of-a-bush, but it’s always nice to see these kinds of things confirmed. According to the Washington Post, it now seems that the White House got an early warning on Katrina:
The documents shed new light on the extent on the administration’s foreknowledge about Katrina’s potential for unleashing epic [...]
2004 US election most probably fraudulent…
This doesn’t really come as a surprise… Either you supply the proof that you are innocent or, well, you’re not innocent.
The Alaska Democratic Party wants the raw data of the 2004 elections, but the Division of Election refuses:
The state Division of Elections has refused to turn over its electronic voting files to the Democrats, arguing [...]
When activists become terrorists, rebels become activists and the innocent become suspects…
This is a trend that I, and probably many others with me, had seen coming — Indymedia reports on Operation Backfire, an FBI operation to silence environmentalists and animal rights activists.
The nation-wide sweep of arrests, dubbed “Operation Backfireâ€, has been declared by the FBI as a major hit to environmentalists and animal rights activists who [...]
US can execute terrorism suspects now, too
Woah — this is not a good thing. According to this Dutch article, the US has found a way to handle the over-population problem.
Yeah, what to do when you brand every single person, that doesn’t agree with your politics, a terrorist and lock ‘m up?
Too many prisoners to question — and as they aren’t [...]
Enron the 9/11 smoking ‘cannon’?
An interesting article by Devvy Kidd on Enron being the possible smokin’ cannon of 9/11, with an interesting view on events, implicating former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling of prior knowledge of 9/11.
Quite worth a read…
911, Enron
Halliburton Watch
I just discovered Halliburton Watch, a site dedicated to the practises by Halliburton, the company that actually makes money of wars and `rebuilding‘ countries.
Interesting fact:
The arrival of Dick Cheney as CEO in 1995 was, by far, the best decision Halliburton ever made. Under Cheney’s tenure as CEO, Halliburton’s revenue from federal government contracts nearly doubled. [...]
Uranium run on 25th January 2006
| by in Health, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, Sad Stuff, Space & Beyond, The Netherlands |
On Indymedia there’s an article explaining how, on the 25th of January this month, a train will be shipping Uranium Hexafluaride (UF6) from Germany to The Netherlands, and from there to Russia:
German and Dutch nuclear opponents plan to disrupt a consignment of depleted uranium hexafluoride they say is due to run Wednesday, 25 [...]
Microsoft fines delayed even further
Well, it is safe to conclude that Nelie Smit Kroes is one spineless useless little politician. According to The Register, the European Commission grants MS fine to be delayed even more:
A spokesman for Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes told IDG: “Microsoft has requested an extension.” The spokesman would not say how long the delay is for. [...]
Liberty is Security
An interesting article linked-to on Perilocity, claiming that Liberty Is Security.
In this age where every terrorist action seems to be met by politicians and the public rushing to clamp down on the liberty of people who had nothing to do with it, my mantra is Benjamin Franklin’s comment:
They that can give up essential liberty to [...]
Iraqis and Afghans optimistic about economic future
Some brilliantly intelligent person at BBC News wrote an article about a poll finding Iraqis and Afghans surprisingly optimistic:
Iraqis and Afghans are the among most optimistic people in the world when it comes to their economic future, a new survey for the BBC suggests.
And this is news? We go on in and blow everything to [...]
`Europe knew about CIA flights’, report says.
BBC news reports that Europe ‘knew about’ CIA flights, quoting:
“It is highly unlikely that European governments, or at least their intelligence services, were unaware,” the report said.
Yeah — just as unlikely as it is that president Bush, as well as the American intelligence agencies, did not have prior knowledge of 911.
Sadly, lots of people cannot [...]
A nasty vision of the future…
CNN reports on Bush telling abortion foes, ‘We will prevail’:
“You believe, as I do, that every human life has value, that the strong have a duty to protect the weak, and that the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence apply to everyone, not just to those considered healthy or wanted or convenient,” Bush told [...]
Author’s sales jump after Osama mentions book

Also in the Oddly Enough section at Reuters — Author’s sales jump after Osama mentions book. According to the article:
An unexpected endorsement from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has resulted in a huge jump in sales for a book by a critic of U.S. foreign policy. William Blum’s “Rogue State: A Guide to [...]
