Spiegel International about Zone Interdite

"‘It is 2021, tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of 9/11. America is under oppression by ultra-liberal extremists who have surrendered governing authority to the United Nations. Hate speech legislation called the “Coulter Laws” have forced vocal conservatives underground. A group of bio-mechanically enhanced conservatives led by Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North, and a young man born on September 11, 2001, set out to thwart Ambassador Usama bin Laden's plans to nuke New York City.'"

'Radio talk show host Karen Kwiatkowski talks to William Clark, author of Petrodollar Warfare: Oil, Iraq and the Future of the Dollar, about the reason for American intervention into the Middle East: oil and the dollar. Clark discusses the origins of this problem going back the 1945 Bretton Woods Agreement to secret U.S./Arab negotiations that the CIA did NOT even know about in the 1970's to today's current situation. If what Clark says is accurate, there may not be much time left. MP3 available. No registration required.'

"When news broke in July 2003 that Thomas Pynchon would lend his voice to an upcoming episode of The Simpsons, it seemed so surprising, wacky, and surreal, in other words, so trademark Pynchon, that it simply had to be true."

Update: Rollins in his own words!

I just read this nice interview with Mr. Rollins at themodernword.com when the following popped up:

"Henry Rollins ran into trouble while flying from Auckland, Australia during the Big Day Out Tour.

Apparently, the former hardcore vocalist and author made the mistake of reading Jihad: The Rise of Militant Island in Central Asia while on the flight. The book - a largely academic look at the roots and conflicts in Central Asian and their connections to terrorism - apparently raised some red flags resulting in Rollins recieving what he described as "a latter from a nice woman who worked in one of those government areas that deals with anti-terrorism matters."

The individual who sat next to Henry had reported him to the government because of the book; while the letter he recieved from the government dismissed the accussation as "idiocy," Henry responded: "I was reading a book called Jihad by Ahmed Rashid which is a history of Central Asia. I didn't speak to the man next to me past how do you do. I think Ahmed Rashid is published by Yale University Press. Bush's alma mater. Please tell your government and everyone in your office to go fuck themselves. Tell them twice. If your boss is looking for something to do, you can tell him I suggest he go fuck himself. Baghdad's safer than my hometown and your PM is a sissy." Via Shoutwire oder so!

Reporters Without Borders said today it was shocked at the failure of Turkish police to prevent an attack on a woman reporter, Aliye Cetinkaya, of the daily paper Sabah (The Morning), during a protest against publication of cartoons of Mohammed in the European press.

A group of 30 men broke away from the demonstration, on 10 February in the city of Konya, and attacked the journalist, accusing her of not having her head covered, of wearing trousers and chewing gum. They threw shoes and stones at her and called her a “slut.”

Police surrounding the demonstration did not help her and she had to be rescued by colleagues.

“The police failure is disgraceful,” the worldwide press freedom organisation said. “She could have been seriously injured. This incident discredits the police, who could be suspected of allowing it to happen and being on the side of the protesters. The authorities must find out who was responsible for this error.”

Cetinkaya filed a formal complaint on 13 February and the Konya prosecutor’s office began an investigation. The attackers were identified in police photos of the demonstration and are expected to be prosecuted. Four Turkish journalists’ organisations strongly protested against the attack and demanded action from the authorities.

One of the groups in the demonstration, the Islamist “Association for Training, Research and Cooperation of the People” (HEDA-DER) meanwhile filed a complaint against Cetinkaya the same day, accusing her of disturbing the demonstration, an offence that carries a fine or between 18 months and three years imprisonment under a 1983 law on public demonstrations.

The Konya prosecutor’s office is expected to decide in the next few days whether to formally investigate her for this.

Phantastic stuff at animationarchive.org. Never heard of the guy, but "Lost And Foundry" (Quicktime 7 / 10 megs, a click to the right for download), a Fleischer Popeye cartoon from 1937 makes you think why animation is all about cuteness in ugly times like these.

The Worsley-Twist warp drive does not depend upon traditional emissions of matter to create thrust. Rather, the drive creates a change in the curvature of the space-time continuum — thus allowing travel by warping space-time. Worsley & Twist patent application recently suffered another setback."

Die Tagesschau ermittelt.

Für diesen Angriff auf die Freiheit der Kunst gehört Bayern boykottiert. Scharfmacher wie Stoiber scheinen vergessen zu haben, dass der Westen die arabische Welt in Actionfilmen seit über 20 Jahren zu einem Haufen Terroristen mit Handtüchern auf dem Kopf stilisiert. "Rambo III" bekam fürs Aufräumen in Afghanistan das "Prädikat Wertvoll". Und "Das Tal der Wölfe" ist ein Witz gegen die Realitäten in Abu Ghraib. Hallo, der Amerikaner foltert in seinen KZs im Irak auch Kinder (worüber die "Junge Welt" schon 2004 berichtet hat) und man weiß nicht mal wieso.

Du bist Deutschland

KILLING FOR JESUS! Americans torture children in their concentration camp in Abu Ghraib, but the US doesn't seem to care very much. Well, the Oscars are coming up and who cares about a bunch of dead muslim kids anyway. Europe doesn't and there are still planes with "suspected terrorists" in the air. How many children do we have to torture and kill until "the long war" is won? All of them? I guess... Indeed, it's going to be a "long war".

"In order to sidestep international laws against torture, the CIA currently uses a fleet of unmarked airplanes to kidnap, "render," and "disappear" suspected terrorists. The CIA takes these people to a clandestine network of prisons in countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, Egypt, Morocco, Iraq, Poland, and Romania: places where they can be tortured.

Because the CIA uses civilian (rather than military) aircraft for these "black" operations, they leave a publicly-accessible trail of flight logs, registration papers, and other legal documents. These paper trails are filled with forgeries, lies, and cover-stories, but nevertheless contain important clues as to who the "real" people behind these operations and unmarked planes might be.

One of these planes is a Boeing 737. Its tail number is N4467S. It is the property of a company called "Keeler and Tate Management," incorporated by a man named "Tyler Edward Tate." Mr. Tate does not exist.

Over the course of this presentation, we will navigate through the fog of misinformation surrounding Mr. Tate. We will visit the street addresses of his front companies, observe the airfields that his unmarked plane frequents, and introduce ourselves to some of the flesh-and-blood individuals who may have penned his name"
