Voting for Bush is just a way of confirming what we all know already: The terrorists have won.

Reading this article on the mysterious Berg "beheading" video at the Asia Times Online I have come to the conclusion that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is most likely dead. The US administration (via their intelligence) tries to blame almost every recent terrorist attack on him. The Berg "butchering", the bombs in Madrid etc. They try to hide the fact that they have no idea who directed these acts of terrorism. Like they had no clues about WMDs. It's better to build one man up as the über terrorist than to admit that one has no idea whatsoever who is behind the terror. Somebody who is already dead is much better to blame as he can't defend himself anymore and will never be arrested. He is the perfect Satan. The war on terrorism can go on forever if the people it is hunting are already dead. And that's all the Bush administration is aiming for.

P.S. I am not yet there to believe in conspiracy. But conspiracy is more likely than the authentic beheading of Nick Berg. Which is maybe not such a bad thing. Supposing the US citizens get rid of the Bush gang(sters) in November.

P.P.S. Why did Bushco chose al-Zarqawi as the new leading terrorist? Bin Laden was too ill and looked too weak on his last videos. What's the point of hunting an old dying man everyone has pity with? Therefore they had to fabricate a new young and dynamic successor.

Is George W. a "Dry Drunk"?:

P.S. I wrote him an e-mail. And I am very curious about the reaction. The real one after the immediate robot reply.

P.P.S. No e-mail response yet but Mr Kerry vanished from my referrers. Just a coincidence? In any case I wish him best luck to beat that other guy in autumn, what was his name again?

P.P.S. JK is a loser.

Vorhin im Radio ging es um RFID (radio frequency identification), die chipbasierte Nachfolgetechnologie des Barcodes. Ein Datenschutzexperte sagte etwa sinngemäß, dass Big Brother heute kaum zu fürchten wäre, da die Staatsbediensteten sich als kaum kompetent bis völlig unfähig bzgl. neuer Technologien erwiesen hätten.

Ich schätze mal, es kommt eher umgekehrt. Die sollten sich warm anziehen, sonst können wir die Beamtenschaft morgen alle im Internet beim Büroschläfchen live beobachten.

A history of the Iraq war, told entirely in lies.

The cover story of the German news magazine Der Spiegel from three weeks ago (God, why am I always so much behind) is online. Unfortunately only in English, only German reading Germans have to pay €0.85. It's on the confessions (probably forced by torture) of two leading characters behind the 9/11 attacks (code word Porsche 911): Operation Holy Tuesday. It's a long article, you'd need at least thirty minutes to read it all. But it's worth it.
