George Orwell may have been off a few decades but he was right. The government wants total control over your life. They don’t control all information (yet) but are getting ready for that. It turns out the US government spied on all electronic data traffic at AT&T.

Mark Klein who retired from AT&T was responsible to split all fiber optic channels within the AT&T facility in San Francisco to the secured room 641A. Access to room 641A requires NSA clearance. As Mark Klein puts it “I connected the Big Brother machine”. All traffic is copied to the secret room. This is a violation of the constitution. Here is the video in which Mark Klein blows the whistle.

Jim Morrison, the famous lead-singer of ‘The Doors’, allegedly died on the third of July in 1971 at the age of 27. The news spread like wildfire around the globe, soon followed by an enormous amount of rumors. Jim died under mysterious circumstances. As with the passing of all great artists a lot of people can’t believe it is true and claim that Jim is still alive. The claims are often accompanied by statements like “Jim staged his own death to get away from the business” or “to get out of a record deal” and the list goes on and on and on…

As someone who is skeptic by nature I don’t believe all this talk about Jim not being dead and faking his death and stuff like that. I just enjoy what is left of Jim (& The Doors), two handful of great records. Did I already mention I’m a skeptic? Well, I’m a skeptic.
Well, I was a skeptic………

The global warming hype is omnipresent. You can’t turn on a news channel or read a newspaper without being dictated the ‘global warming’ issue. Although the ‘global warming’ (or climate change) theory is really just a prediction the media report on it as if it is a fact. Why is there so little attention for theories that oppose the ‘global warming’ theory?

You have to hand it to the global warming theorists: they use a brilliant strategy. From now on I will use the term globiwarmis^®™ for ‘global warming theorists’ to save some typing. Their strategy is to predict doom and adopt the ‘act now!’ solution. There is really no way that the globiwarmis can lose. Here is how…

My good friend and colleague Karel Kubat offered me a good suggestion to kill some time (thanks Karel). “Flock of Dodos” is a documentary on intelligent design and evolution. Very interesting stuff regardless which side you are on. It is currently on YouTube, 9 pieces of 10 minutes each. Get your fix now… links are included.

Help me eens herinneren… was het niet in mei 2006? Ja, het was in mei 2006. Minister Donner heeft weer eens een aangescherpt wetje door de eerste kamer gedrukt. Of hoe zou Pronk dat zeggen? “Donner heeft er weer een wetje doorheen ger-r-r-rommeld”. Ik hoor ‘t Pronk zeggen.

Nu kun je van minister Donner zeggen wat je wilt maar het is wel een gluiperig, achterbaks mannetje. Althans dat is mijn mening, zo komt hij op mij over. Mijn vertrouwen in hem gaat niet verder dan ik hem kan gooien. Het is iemand waarvan je ten stelligste vermoed dat hij twee gezichten heeft. Of beter: in ieder geval meer dan één.
