Get a first life

Get a First Life: A One Page Satire of Second Life. Linden Labs are amused. Probably since their take on life is as pathetic as the original.
With all the hoopla about Second Life, virtual news agencies on virtual matters, taxation and virtual embassies it is starting to get more than a little creepy. It […]

Private Health Insurance and Tax Breaks

From the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. Skip ahead to around 01.20 for a legendary summary of private health insurance and its use as a rationale for tax breaks. The same concept holds true for much of the promises made by the new political right, and not just in the US. It’s more than a […]

Windows Vista Launches

But before everyone jumps on the bandwagon I’d recommend reading A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection.
Executive Executive Summary
The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history

Remembering the Holocaust Racket

January 27th. Around the globe, world leaders were eagerly falling into line, towing the Zionist line. We are urged to remember past atrocities. Well, just the one actually. One that happened to take place in the west and did befall white people. How original indeed.
So here we are with a Holocaust remembrance day out of […]

Domestic Military surveillance on the march

It would seem that Sweden is going the way of the United States by employing a military spy agency to surveil the general public. At least we should be glad we were informed about it beforehand. But at the same time it is deeply troubling to see basically the same discredited and disgraced methods end […]

Arms exports and double standards

I found this peculiar article (”Liberal: stop arms deal with UAE”) this morning. Some liberal MP wanker is outraged that Sweden is selling weapons to the United Arab Emirates because the country, for starters, lacks universal suffrage, or indeed any form of suffrage. The real hypocrisy is evident when said MP declares that she is […]

US drafts Holocaust Denial Resolution

Hijacking the UN machinery. What a cruel joke.

The United States has drafted a U.N. resolution condemning the denial of the Holocaust, a spokesman said Monday, a month after Iran provoked widespread anger by holding a conference casting doubt on the Nazi genocide of Jews during World War II.
According to a copy of the draft made […]

Global opinion of US deteriorating

No wonder really. Which is why I ought to pinch myself and realize that George W Bush and his neocon entourage is the best thing that has happened in a very long time. Military imperialists are considerably more provocative and just so heavy-handed that anyone is able so see the disconnect. As opposed to lets […]

Microorganisms accelerating in Iraq war theater

Wired: Potentially lethal microorganisms getting even more aggressive in the slaughterhouse of Iraq. (via Raw Story)

Since OPERATION Iraqi Freedom began in 2003, more than 700 US soldiers have been infected or colonized with Acinetobacter baumannii. A significant number of additional cases have been found in the Canadian and British armed forces, and among wounded Iraqi […]
