"Don't look to see Condoleezza Rice in any "I Love New York" ads anytime soon. After catching a Wednesday night performance of Spamalot (where she was booed when the lights came up), the Secretary of Insensitivity went shopping at Ferragamo on Fifth Avenue. While browsing thousands of dollars in new shoes (replacement dominatrix boots?), a horrified fellow shopper shouted, "How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!" For being so forward, Condi rewarded her by having her security toss the shopper from the store — and then decided to cut her stay short to, uh, do her job."

"London: Authorities in Serbia are investigating reports of a real-life Superman, which was seen flying in the sky by the local people.

Numerous residents in Ljubovija claim that they have seen a cloaked figure flying crazily over their houses.

“As if he had an invisible engine on his back” and changing directions while in mid-air, Fox News quoted a resident as telling local daily Blic.

“It was like something out of Superman or Batman. No one has any rational explanation for what we all saw,” he added.

However, police in the town have refused to give their comments."

"Two amateur documentary makers say they've infiltrated the UFO cloning sect known as the Raelians and come away with candid videos they hope will further tarnish the group's reputation and even help shut it down.

The Raelians are no strangers to bad press: Brigitte Boisselier, a Raelian bishop and biochemist, created a media furor in December 2002 when she announced the world's first successful cloning of a human. But her credibility, as well as the Raelians', was questioned when she never produced "baby Eve" or 12 other purported clones.

Now, rare video footage of the group taken at one of its Las Vegas seminars has been spun into an as-yet-unreleased documentary that brings a fresh, critical slant to the Raelians -- replete with allegations that the sect uses sex as a recruitment tool, targeting people most likely to sympathize with its message that aliens populated the world: "Trekkies and whatnot," explained Abdullah Hashem, who taped the group in May as part of a broader, personal investigation of the group.

"There are a lot of people (at these seminars) who believe in aliens, and all these beautiful women who will have sex with you even though you're a dork," he said. "And that's why most people were there."

She is eleven years old and people like Robert de Niro and Tom Cruise desperately wanted to be in a movie with her; a young actress who can really act! Dakota Fanning is ready to get a solid picture on her own. She was the little girl in "War of the Worlds", the worst movie ever made, but that wasn't her fault. She was so much better than Tom Cruise, the Special Effects and the awful script that I remembered her name and rented "Hide and Seek" also starring Robert de Niro, Famke Janssen and Amy Irving.

Wow, that what I call a really good scary movie and Dakota Fanning is terrific. No spoilers, you might think the premise sounds lame, but it's a great twist for an old story which you love. This is, well, well, I was really really scared and I can't sleep now because of Charlie and all that!

Kids are very good in scary movies. Haley Joel Osment should have gotten an Oscar for "The Sixth Sense" (1999) back then, I thought, but this young lady is even better. Precious Dakota is gonna be big. You got fansites now and all that, Dakota. Don't break, kid! Be brave!

"It could have been a scene from The Sopranos except that it was for real. It took place on February 2, 2001, and the feds caught it all on audio tape. Two made members of the Mafia and an associate had met to discuss the shakedown of a Hollywood movie star. The actor was a martial artist who specialized in playing tough-guy heroes on the big screen. Throughout his career, the star had made several claims of real-life heroics, including black-ops jobs for the CIA and encounters with organized crime figures around the world. The actor also apparently had a fixation with urban Italian-Americans, claiming at one time to be half-Italian when in reality his mother was Irish and his father Jewish. In one of his films, he played an Italian-American detective with close ties to the old neighborhood and the hoods who infested it. In one scene, the hero sits down for espresso with the local boss, showing him the same respect that any of his soldiers would.

Perhaps this is why the real mobsters at the wiretapped meeting were having a good chuckle as they recounted a visit that a couple of them had paid on action-star Steven Seagal."

I met Tamara in New York last year and I admired her eye for details. One of her photos is hanging on my wall. She has worked with Bowie, Metallica and some other big names in the music industry. Just found her online exhibition "no adults allowed". Great stuff, young lady!

"Playgrounds at twilight: empty, lost, abandoned of their daily life force. Yet, there is the remenents, the obvious signs of use, and the ghosts of those that have been there. For all of my 'adult' life I have gone to playgrounds at night to think, reflect. Many hours have been spent on the tops of slides reflecting on the stars, swinging and working out the day’s trials and tribulations. On my relocation to New York I started to pay witness to the playgrounds in Manhattan. They are hidden in and amongst the labyrinth of cement and glass, they are in the corners of parks, they are on the edges of the island. Refuges of the childhoods for many who are growing up in the glare of this city, the playgrounds are also an obvious sign of the world we live in. Encircled in fences, gated, locked at night and with notices postedNo adults allowed unaccompanied by a child”. (Tamara Rafkin)

That's one great conspiracy theory you made up, Mr. Lightfoot. The horror writer does actually really look like Mark Chapman.

Before the Da Vinci Code phenomenon there was The Passover Plot (1965) by Hugh J. Schonfield. Schonfield invented the hypothesis, that a mortal Jesus had planned his ministry and crucifixion according to the Old Testament prophecies to fulfill Judaism's messianic tradition. John Lennon explained his famous 'Beatles Are Bigger Than God' sound-bite with Schonfield: 'My views on Christianity are directly influenced by this book. The premise in it is that Jesus' message had been garbled by his disciples and twisted for a variety of self-serving reasons by those who followed, to the point where it has lost validity for many in the modern age' (Boston Globe newspaper, 12 December 1980)

"Schonfield's controversial bestseller argues that the fictional premise "used. . . by George Moore in The Brook Kerith and by D.H. Lawrence in The Man who Died"--that Jesus survived the crucifixion--really happened. To the task of proving this thesis, Schonfield brought a prodigious command of scripture, new insights (largely gleaned from the recently published Dead Sea Scrolls) into the Jewish sectarianism of first-century Palestine, and forty years' experience studying and teaching (at Oxford University) early Christian history. He also brought a conspiratorial worldview that prompted him to weave from all the ancient sources available to him a story that explained on entirely rational grounds all of the events mentioned in the Gospels. The miracles and mysteries that serve to establish Christ's divinity in the church's official narrative are to Schonfield telltale signs of a plot--masterminded by Jesus himself--the purpose of which was to prove that this son of a Galilean carpenter was the Messiah whose coming had been predicted by certain Jewish sects since about a century and a half before his birth.

Steeped from his youth in the religious ferment of his day, Schonfield's Jesus gradually becomes convinced that it was incumbent upon him to manifest his Messiahship by ensuring that his demise conformed to the prophesied pattern. To this end, writes Schonfield, Jesus minutely planned and orchestrated the events of Passion Week so they would culminate in his crucifixion on Friday afternoon. For the Passover Plot, timing is everything; delaying the Messiah's predicted ordeal until just before the Sabbath, writes Schonfield, would enable Jesus to survive crucifixion by faking his death. The custom of removing the bodies of the crucified from their crosses before the Sabbath meant that Jesus' time on the cross would be minimized, allowing him to receive quickly the medical attention he would need. And by appearing to die on his own Jesus would be spared having his legs broken, the usual means by which the Romans hastened the deaths of crucifixion victims.

Every conspiracy theory needs a leap of faith; Schonfield's is the precise means he thinks Jesus used to fake his death. Jesus' words "I am thirsty," writes Schonfield, were a signal to Joseph of Arimathea, who dispatched a servant with a vinegar-soaked sponge on the end of a twig of hyssop. But, says Schonfield, there was more than just vinegar in this sponge. Had this liquid consisted of the "the normal wine vinegar diluted with water," he writes, "the effect would have been stimulating. In this case it was exactly the opposite. Jesus lapsed quickly into complete unconsciousness. His body sagged. His head lolled on his breast, and to all intents and purposes he was a dead man" (191-2). As John Lennon might have said had he witnessed the scene as Schonfield drew it, 'He's drugged!'"

Quoted from "The Beatles, the 'Passover Plot,' and Conspiratorial Narrativity" by Matthew Schneider.

The Passover Plot disinfo-mini-site

'Believe that there is a secret and you will feel an initiate. It doesn’t cost a thing. Create an enormous hope that can never be eradicated because there is no root. Ancestors that never were will never tell you that you betrayed them. Create a truth with fuzzy edges: when someone tries to define it, you repudiate him. Why go on writing novels? Rewrite history.' (Umberto Eco, "Foucault’s Pendulum")

It's just a fantasy-novel, but Dan Brown’s bestseller "The Da Vinci Code" made half of the world-population believe in the good old myth about the order of the Templars and the holy grail as the bloodline of Jesus Christ, who did not die on the cross as described in the bible. Even good friends of mine believe in this fairy tale. The book "Holy Blood and Holy Grail" by Henry Lincoln, Richard Leigh, and Michael Baigent came up with this idea first. A whole lot of people, including certain satanists trying to start their own order in Berlin-Charlottenburg, fall for this. Lots of them are right-wing revisionists trying to rewrite history from the very beginning. Lincoln and his friends claim that Jesus died in France and was buried in Rennes-le-Château in France. They found all these "clues" that were scattered throughout history by "initiates" of "the secret order of extraordinary gentlemen", people like Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo and Leonardo da Vinci.

Massimo Polidoro asked the right question: "Who invented such an incredible story?" He travelled to Rennes-le-Château to have a look at these "clues" himself. The story is a complete lie of course, but is has been around for a long time and Polidor finally found the guy who came up with it: Pierre Plantard.

"Plantard was an anti-Semite and the leader of a minor occult, right-wing organization known as Alpha Galates. His scheme was quite ingenious and complex. He had the parchments made by an artist friend, Philippe de Cherisey; then, he passed them on as real to Gérard de Sède, to whom he also told the invented story of Saunière’s findings.

Plantard also invented the Priory of Sion in 1956 and created fake manuscripts and documents that linked the Priory to RLC and deposited them at the National Library in Paris, where he suggested Lincoln and friends go to look for important discoveries.

But why go to all this trouble? All this and more was necessary in order to demonstrate not only that Plantard was the current Grand Master of the elusive Priory but also that he was the last descendant of the Merovingians. This meant that he was the current vessel of Christ’s holy blood and, above all, the heir to the throne of France as its legitimate king.

The scheme did not work out, however; there were no descendants after Dagobert II, and there were no living Merovingians pretenders to the throne that fell with Louis XVI. Plantard’s fake geneology quickly dissolved under close scrutiny. "

"Hunter S. Thompson, the maverick journalist and author whose savage chronicling of the underbelly of American life and politics embodied a new kind of nonfiction writing he called "gonzo journalism," died yesterday in Colorado. Tricia Louthis, of the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office, said Mr. Thompson had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Woody Creek, Colo., yesterday afternoon. He was 65.

Mr. Thompson, a magazine and newspaper writer who also wrote almost a dozen books, was perhaps best known for his book, 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', which became a Hollywood movie in 1998. But he was better known for his hard-driving lifestyle and acerbic eye for truth which he used in the style of first-person reporting that came to be known as 'gonzo' in the 1960's, where the usually-anonymous reporter becomes a central character in the story, a conduit of subjectivity."

He’s back and this time he’s serious. German entertainer Stefan Raab is in Istanbul where he currently broadcasts Istanbul Total, a special edition of his show "TV Total" which is on every day of the week. For the third time he made the German finals for the Eurovision Song Contest which is held in Turkeye this year. First, Raab appeared as producer Alf Igel, a mockery of the music-producer Ralph Siegel, who had dominated the contest in Germany for decades. Raab had produced Schlagerking Guildo Horn, who had a strong fan-following with his parody of cheesy pop from Germany. Horn‘s real name is Horst Köhler by the way, the same as the future president of Germany. Strange coincidence....) He didn’t do too well in the finals, but Guildo Horn represented a strange change within Germany. For some reason everyone was taking this stupid song contest really serious and now the Germans sent this old man with a cape making fun of the whole thing and promising everyone rasberry-icecream and cake if they voted for him. What happened to the famous of lack of humour in Germany?

The year after, Stefan Raab won the first round on his own with "Wadde Hadde Dudde Da", a nonsense-song with a bombastic disco-production. The dada-title was easy to dance to and became a hit. The rest of Europe was stunned again. Even though Raab was a clown, he had come up with a great title, proving what he is best at: spontaneously coming up with lyrics and improvizing on his little ukulele with folks like Lionel Richie. Stefan Raab did a song about legalizing pot with Shaggy, he fought the female german boxing-champion and got his nose broken, he invented the wok-championship (bobsleigh with a wok!) and on Saturday he is out to win the Eurovision Song Contest.

This time it’s not about making fun. Raab appears as the producer and song-writer for Max Mutzke with "Can't wait until tonight". According to all european experts, Mutzke has good chances to win.

Max Mutzke was the winner of SSDSGPS (Stefan sucht den Super Grand Prix Star), a casting contest put up by "TV Total" as a reaction to all the fake-ass casting shows on TV. Compared to shows like "Popstars" or "American Idol", Raab managed to get real talent for his little contest. Instead of presenting good-looking bimbos who can dance, he found great voices and interesting singers. Even though, Germany had been casted to death, quite a few surprises appeared on the show. After Mutzke had been announced as the winner and the song had been promoted on the show for weeks, it skyrocketed into the German charts and the rest of the world is supposed to follow soon.

Stefan Raab is producing "TV Total" in Istanbul this week and the basic concept hasn’t changed much. There is the host playing the curious idiot commenting embarassing clips from other TV shows while his intern Elton makes a fool out of himself belly-dancing. They have turkish guests, teach the basic turkish and even though the show has seen better times, Raab is doing more for German-Turkish friendship right now than a lot of officials who have a problems with having muslims in the EU. But who are they afraid of? The turks sent Gökhan Özoguz and his band Athena this year, a tatooed punk with read hair and a ska-song.

Razi has a new website with some excellent photos and the first sort of complete biography written by Mr. Darius James. Someone should do a movie or a book about you, my friend!
