POLITICS:

Make Love, Not War--Or Else

"Nice fantasy. If only Laura Bush could be more like the eponymous heroine of Aristophanes' antiwar comedy "Lysistrata," who uses the sex-for-peace strategy with great success. Lysistrata encourages women from opposing sides of a civil war to withhold sex from their husbands until the men, conquered by unrequited lust, agree to ratify a peace treaty. The play captured the imagination of two New York actors, Kathryn Blume and Sharron Bower, who in early January kicked off the Lysistrata Project, a series of readings of the play that will take place throughout the world (in all 50 states, and 49 countries so far) on Monday, March 3.

Atom and his package

Adam Goren alias Atom and his package is on tour in the US and he's got a tour-diary on his site. Adam is great. He plays music with his guitar and a bunch of sequencers and synthies while singing stuff like "The Palestinians Are NOT the Same Thing as the Rebel Alliance, Jackass".
Here's a interesting article about the new king of nerds titled "This is punk?"

POLITIK:

Die märkische CDU zieht in den Krieg

Dieser Jörg Schönbohm, seines Zeichens Innenminister von Brandenburg, braucht mal wieder Aufmerksamkeit. Mit großer Geste schwadroniert er über Folter-Methoden für potentielle Terroristen und überhaupt kommt die CDU nur noch mit Vorschlägen, für die man mindestens das Grundgesetz ändern müßte. Das ist die Sehnsucht nach einem Deutschen "Patriot Act". Da passt auch die vom Abgeordneten Dieter Dombrowski initiierte Resolution, mit der sich die märkische Union stramm auf die Seite der Kriegstreiber begibt und jede Menge Solidarität bekundet. Was für Einfaltspinsel und was für eine durchsichtige PR-Kampagne. Ähnlich sinnvoll wie die US-Tour von Angie Merkel, die über die Selbstwerbung hinaus keine weitere Bedeutung hat. So sind sie, die teutonischen Kleingeister, die noch nicht verstanden haben, daß sie international keine Rolle mehr spielen. Das passt ihnen nicht, den Knalltüten von der CDU. Mancher wünscht sich jetzt die Mauer zurück um endlich mal wieder von den Amerikanern beachtet zu werden.

Das konservative Lager hat einen Komplex. Man möchte doch dabei sein, von der Völkergemeinschaft geliebt werden und endlich die schlimme, schlimme Vergangenheit vergessen. Gleichzeitig will man aber auch populistisch gegen den Krieg sein, wohl wissend, daß sich die Brave New World Order von Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld und ihrem Hampelmann George W.Bush keineswegs mit dem Irak zufrieden geben wird. Immerhin hat man noch 58 weitere Staaten auf der Liste, in denen keine Amerikanischen Soldaten stationiert sind und vorher wird der vielfach proklamierte "Kampf gegen den Terrorismus" nicht vorbei sein. Dafür sorgt wohl schon die CIA, Vollblut-Profi in Sachen Terrorismus, Mord und Todschlag. Nach dem Irak ist dann Syrien an der Reihe.

Das Gezanke um die Resolution des UN-Sicherheitsrates mutet dabei an wie der letzte Akt der alten Welt bzw. der Nachkriegsordnung. Jedes Kind weiß, daß es Dick Cheney und Angela Merkel scheißegal ist, ob die UN dafür oder dagegen ist. Im Angesicht der neuen Weltordnung von WTO, G8 und Co sowie der Erfahrungen aus der Entscheidung für einen Krieg im Kosovo, ist die UNO als Kontrollinstanz längst ausgehebelt. Was wir derzeit erleben ist nur eine Simulation. Die Entscheidungen sind längst gefallen und der CIA hockt längst mit der türkischen Armee im Norden des Iraks um die Sache mit den Kurden zu verhandeln. Das hatten sich die Amerikaner einfacher vorgestellt und so ist ein wenig Zeit verstrichen, aber ein mutmaßlicher Erstschlag des Irak auf die Türkei, der den Einsatz der Europäischen NATO-Freunde notwendig machen würde, erscheint somit absurd. Der Krieg im Irak hat längst begonnen. Den Diplomaten kann es nur noch darum gehen, eine Öffentlichkeit zu bekommen um die nächsten Angriffe auf 58 weitere Staaten zu verzögern. Ob die derzeitigen Proteste dann noch immer noch hip sein werden, bleibt abzuwarten.

POLITIK:

Korruption, Peanuts und Lappalien

Haut dem Hoeness mal einer auf's Maul, oder was? Nachdem der geheime Vertrag mit Leo Kirch nun aufgeflogen ist, gibt sich der FC Bayern arroganter denn je. Eigentlich sind nur die anderen Schuld, die solche Verträge für Millionensummen irgendwie unlauter finden. Obersturmbannführer Beckenbauer zischte zum Vorwurf der Korruption nur kurz mal "Schmarn" in den Äther und damit scheint für die Oberen des Vereins die Sasche wohl erledigt. Unklar ist, wer nun für die Bestrafung zuständig ist und so dürfen sich Hoeneß, Beckenbauer, Rummenigge und ihre Amicos freuen. "So a Hund," entfährt es dem gemeinen Bayern voll Bewunderung für das Kartell der Abzocker. Wer durchkommt, ist ein Held im Bayernland, wo Korruption und Bestechung längst gemeiner Alltag zu sein scheinen. Und in Frankreich haben Clubs wie Olympique Marseilles, Paris St.Germain, Lyon, Bordeaux oder der AS Monaco schließlich auch ähnliche Geheimverträge in Sachen Einzelvermarktung mit Canal Plus abgeschlossen. Auch dort fand die Öffentlichkeit die Machenschaften unsportlich, aber passiert ist im Prinzip so gut wie nichts.

Da kann der Herr Andracht von der Harald Schmidt-Show ruhig frohlocken, daß man dem FC Bayern die Punkte der letzten Jahre samt Meistertitel entzieht und der FC Köln rückwirkend wieder in der 1.Liga spielen darf. Ohne Bayern keine Bundesliga, heißt es ja jetzt schon allerorts.

Gegen die monströsen Abfindungen, die im Falle Mannesmann an die Spitzen der Deutschen Wirtschaft gezahlt wurden, muß man da eh zwei Augen zudrücken. Immerhin sind nicht irgendwelche Trottel aus der zweiten Reihe angeklagt und so darf man sich nicht wundern, daß die Staatsanwaltschaft den Beschuldigten schon mal ein wenig entgegen kommt. Munter werden da Details aus der Anklageschrift an die Presse getragen um sicher zu gehen, daß die Angeklagten sich später schön auf Vorverurteilung berufen können. Ist nämlich eigentlich verboten, vor der Hauptverhandlung mit Ermittlungsergebnissen an die Öffentlichkeit zu treten. Wenn's nicht klappt, kann man immerhin noch sagen, man hätte irgendwem sein Ehrenwort gegeben und dann wird es auch schon irgendwie gehen. So können sich Klaus Esser und Co schon mal die Hände reiben und die rund 57 Millionen schön behalten. Scheinbar hat man Angst, daß die Wirtschaft ohne diese Herren irgendwie zusammenbricht.

"Wer das Geld hat, hat die Macht und wer die Macht, hat das Recht." (Ton, Steine, Scherben)

Korruption, Schwarzgeld, Unterschlagung und Betrug werden gesellschaftsfähig gemacht und gelten jetzt als Rettungsanker für eine lahmende Wirtschaft. Mit großem Tam-Tam sollen Schwarzgelder zurück in's Land geholt werden und die Öffentlichekit findet nicht mal was dabei. Mafia, die Du Deine schmutzigen Gelder waschen willst, Deutschland hat ein Angebot zu machen.

Breaking into Los Alamos - Whoops, there goes security!

"LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico -- There are no armed guards to knock out. No sensors to deactivate. No surveillance cameras to cripple. To sneak into Los Alamos National Laboratory, the world's most important nuclear research facility, all you do is step over a few strands of rusted, calf-high barbed wire. I should know. On Saturday morning, I slipped into and out of a top-secret area of the lab while guards sat, unaware, less than a hundred yards away."

Does Scientology also own the the secret to life itself?

Google has given up quite fast after Scientology threatened the company with a DMCA lawsuit. The pseudo-church demanded to cease linking to Operation Clambake . I mentioned that before, but this article in Wired also brings up a few other facts considering the Google-policy. And what I also didn't know was that Scientology has already bought the Cult Awareness Network, which used to operate a hotline for friends and family of people who had joined cults. The Church of Scientology sued them to bankruptcy and afterwards they bought the Network . If you call the Cult Awareness Network today, you will be talking to a Scientologist.

Google-Watch has some interesting facts too... You can still vote for Google as Big Brother of the Year

The future of Weblogs - Google bought Blogger

Bill Thompson's article Is Google too powerful? has caused an outcry. Tom Coates of plasticbag.org has already commented on the statements that Weblogs are not journalism and all that. No need to quote the entire article. Coates wrote another piece called Weblogs and Journalism a while ago. It's all about writing columns.

But Thompson had another point nonetheless:

"Google is a privately-owned US company that has a policy of collecting as much information as possible about everyone who uses its search tool.

It will store your computer's IP address, the time/date, your browser details and the item you search for.

It sets a tracking cookie on your computer that does not expire until 2038.

This means that Google builds up a detailed profile of your search terms over many years.

Google probably knew when you last thought you were pregnant, what diseases your children have had, and who your divorce lawyer is.

It refuses to say why it wants this information or to admit whether it makes it available to the US Government for tracking purposes.

And the much-loved Google toolbar tells Google about every web page you look at. (...) Perhaps the time has come to recognise this dominant search engine for what it is - a public utility that must be regulated in the public interest.

The argument about keeping away from regulating the internet and the web has always been that the technology is not mature enough or important enough to merit government interference. "

Klammheimliche Freude

Pappnasen runter! Deutschland's größte Halle wegen Bombendrohung geräumt. Tausende von uniformierten Karnevalisten standen wie Idioten in der Kälte. Ist ja keiner verletzt worden und man hat woanders humba-humba-tätetä gefeiert. Kann man Geronimo-mäßig ruhig sagen, daß man da gelacht hat Wieso ist der Rheinische Frohsinn eigentlich überhaupt nicht abgesagt? Ach so, würde die Wirtschaft ein Vermögen kosten. Lustig übrigens, daß der Leipziger an sich wieder Montags-Demos abhält und wöchentlich gegen den Krieg marschiert.

Comics:

Duh! The first comic book printed in America was some arty french crap

The US didn't invent pizza and they didn't invent the comic-book either. Check out Gustav Dore, damned yankees!

"Originally published as Les Amours de M. Vieuxbois in 1839, the work saw American release as Obadiah Oldbuck in 1841 and claims arguable status as the first American comic book. In addition to a re-typset facsimile edition of Töepffer's work, the comic will include an introduction by Robert Beerbohm, a Martin Mystere strip, Italian translation of the original French captions and a new cover 'in the style of a modern comic book," reports publisher Alfredo Castelli to the Platinum Age Comics mailing list." Here's the cover (is that Tony Blair with his dog?)

POLITICS:

In the Panic Room with the Department of Homeland Security

Americans, don't panic, reread some Doug Adams, be informed about chemical threats, nuclear threats and all that stuff that evil terrorists might throw at you. "Seal all windows, doors and air vents with plastic sheeting and duct tape. Consider measuring and cutting the sheeting in advance to save time."

Come on, this is such childish propaganda. They're even still using the same slogans from the fifties: you know, if someone throws nuclear missiles at you, what are you gonna do? "Duck and Cover!"

Comics:

Do Ben Urich and The Thing have to stop smoking?

Marvel Comics has made some deal with the anti-smoking-campaign thetruth.com. The logo has showed up all over the New York-version of the Marvel Universe. Paul O'Brien has an article on this over at ninthart.com/:

"What can we tell from this surprising plethora of logos? And it's always the logo, by the way, pasted into the art. Well, two possibilities present themselves. One is that a whole load of Marvel creators have independently decided they'd like to promote the work of this admirable organisation, who have very generously agreed to make their trademark available for the purpose. The other is that the logos are paid adverts, incorporated into the artwork itself. I don't need to tell you which option is the more plausible."

The CIA and it's old habits

Does anyone remember Ollie North? Probably not. He was probably just a product of some odd conspiracy theory made up by drunken lefties in some shitty bar in a former communist country, right?

But, surprise, surprise, look at what AP reported:

"PHILADELPHIA - A federal jury awarded $1.5 million to two narcotics agents who claimed the Pennsylvania attorney general retaliated against them because they uncovered a drug-trafficking ring they said diverted profits to a CIA-backed Dominican presidential candidate. (...) McLaughlin and Micewski said they uncovered a drug-trafficking ring operating in Philadelphia, New York and other Eastern cities that funneled drug profits to the left-wing Dominican Revolutionary Party, which they claimed was supported by the CIA and State Department.

They said the U.S. government allowed the party's presidential candidate, Jose Francisco Pena Gomez, to return to the Dominican Republic after a 1995 fund-raising swing through New York with $500,000 in alleged drug profits.

CIA spokesman Tom Crispell on Tuesday dismissed the agents' allegations as "absurd."

Fucking hangover!

Bad vino and a lot of beer at "Konrad Tönz" and "Madonna".

It's been a good week. I wrote a proposal for an animated TV-series called "The Randy Rocket Show". Hopefully there will be dozens of little plastic hooligans and trading cards and I will make gazillions. Got some response for the Dean Reed-book. Did some rewriting on "The Stranded". Wrote a script for a short mad-science.net-trailer of 1:10 minutes because I had some extra-time left. Might get the chance to do some work for a big comic-publisher. No money. It really starts to suck.

Mr.Colin Raff wrote a great proposal for a series of graphic novels called "Phasmox". I'm currently reading his new novel "Feverpit". Pretty good, man!
