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.
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!
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 [...]
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 [...]
“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 [...]
Death to corporate mafia!
| by in Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Internet & Technology, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings |
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 [...]
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 [...]
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…..

….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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
BlackHat conference demoes US citizen-only targetting smart-bomb, triggered by RFID chip on their passport
| by in Freedom & Repression, Interesting Links, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, Security & Privacy |
Just read that, at the BlackHat conference in Las Vegas, some folks demoed a bomb that will explode if an American passport is in its vicinity — a scenario not that hard to imagine.
Basically, RFID passports do not guarantee the safety and security they were invented for in the first place.
Now, I am not [...]

Alexander the Great is attributed to once have said the following:

On the ever-changing world around us…
For many years, I have spent time studying / reading up on History, Religion and the Ancient Philosophers. I have always found history, in general, to be intriguing, enlightening but most of all inspiring. If you read how these old guys viewed the world around them — you know how the saying goes — although [...]
They said the technology wouldn’t be abused in such a way — but …. it is.
| by in Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, Security & Privacy |
Okay so I read this stuff here (Dutch) which tells about how surveillance camera’s (put there to increase public safety) are now being abused to give parking-tickets.
Of course they say ‘these wrongly parked cars are hindering the ambulances‘. Although that may be true, that sure is hell isn’t the real reason they’re doing this. It’s [...]
Israel instates 48-hour cease-fire
Did they reach their f**king quota of dead Lebanese children? We have a word for that, it’s called genocide.
And now there’s a cease-fire? What do they f**king expect now — a f**king Nobel-prize for Peace?
Nobody seems to really respect life this day and age. Terribly sad, really…

Engineering students to investigate whether the US gov’t themselves blew up the WTC
According to this article (Dutch), eight students of the TU Delft (Technical University in Delft) are going to investigate whether the US government blew up the World Trade Center in the 9/11 attacks.
Simply because the official answers to all the questions don’t seem to hold water. It has to be noted that the research shall [...]
This’ll send a mixed signal…
Ironically, some well-known anti-smoking guru called Allen Carr died of was diagnosed with cancer this weekend.
It’s like yelling `Saddam Hussein is an evil man and he harbours terrorists and he has weapons of mass destruction and we need to rid the world of that evil!‘, to find out that he, well, actually didn’t, and [...]
Judge says teen doesn’t have to undergo chemo treatment (for now…)
In an interesting case in the US, AP reports about a judge concluding that a certain 16 year old kid (wanting alternative treatment) should not be forced to undergo chemo-treatment.
It sure as hell would be pretty insane if one cannot decide what’s to happen to ones own body. Isn’t that a persons’ own choice, just [...]
Verichip RFID clonable (thus totally unsafe), despite the company’s promises
I just heard from somebody that on HOPE, a presentation was given how easily the Verichip RFID chip implant can be cloned (thus identities stolen, people posing as other people getting easier because nowadays, somehow, everything must be digital or something.
Basically, the work is done by this device, called the proxmark3, that;

McKinnon to be extradited to America after all
| by in Computers & Hardware, Freedom & Repression, Internet & Technology, Media, Religion & Politics, Sad Stuff, Security & Privacy |
Seems like the pleads didn’t help Gary McKinnon at all. Because of a dumb extradition treaty he’ll be extradited to the US. For, according to the media,
[..] the “biggest military hack of all time” [..]
Which in itself is absolute bullshit because the ‘biggest military hack’, at least strategically, is the forced usage of Microsoft Windows [...]
Our ‘boys’ on their way to Uruzghan, Afghanistan
| by in Conspiracies, Freedom & Repression, Media, Religion & Politics, Random Rantings, The Netherlands |
Yeh — so I read that our military has gone on a new mission to Afghanistan.
It’s going to be a ‘tough mission’, they say, but they’re going to do everything that’s necessary and possible’.
These words are nothing more than, well, just mere words. It sounds cool, just like the ‘Support Our Troops’-slogan — but it [...]
On smell-technology…
It’s amusing to see how ‘new’, almost magical technologies get embraced with so-much naivety. Slashdot has this little blurb about an article in the New Scientist on ’smell-technology’;
“Simply point the gadget at a freshly baked cookie, for example, and it will analyse its odour and reproduce it for you using a host of non-toxic chemicals. [...]
Rice: Nuclear deal with India made under special circumstances
So, sell-out and betray-the-people Rice states that the ‘nuclear deal with India made under special circumstances‘.
Aha — that must be the same ’special’ circumstances under which, back in the day — when the export of 128bit encryption was still prohibited — the US allowed India to buy this ‘illegal’ encryption technology (if I remember correctly, [...]
US senate to take up flag-burning issue
As I noted earlier, a Senate panel approved a measure that would change the Constitution to let Congress ban burning of the American flag burning. Today Reuters reports that a vote is expected this week. What I didn’t really know was this:
There were 13 instances of flag burning or vandalism last year and four so [...]
Kansas reinstates death penalty — WTF?
So, Kansas is reinstating the deat penalty, joining another 37 states in the US that are up to these uncivilised and inhumane practices. That’s not a good thing at all. Yeah, the US, the land of the free, and murderers of the possibly innocent (and that’s not limited to their internal politics either).
The church did [...]
