In the Norwegian tabloid "Dagbladet" reporter Line Fransson today, in bold headlines, cites Hisham Mashdoub from Libya, whom the reporter talked to in telephone: "Our children are experiencing peace and freedom" and the reporter also cites a small girl, Rami Shaib, flying the Libyan flag stating "I'm dancing with happiness".

The truth is that the NATO air strikes, with the Norwegian forces at front, threw the once prospering country by African standards back into the Middle Ages, and still worse, they plunged it into a civil war. We are witnessing a spread of radical Islamism, as in the case of Mali and Algeria. The events in Mali and Libya are closely intertwined. Gaddafi waged a war on radical extremism and kept the situation under control. More than 600 Islamists were in jails. After the fall of Gaddafi, they walked free and joined radical groups, including those operating in Mali.
Arabian analysts state; Libya today is “a territory of absolute lawlessness” and is a hotbed of instability for the entire North Africa.

Not much happy dancing in peace and freedom for others than blatant propagandists.

I read the book "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe and did think about "Winnetou" by Karl May and "Röde Orm" by Frans G. Bengtsson. All three books about people meeting the Christianity, and its power.

Sometimes an artist can inspire you - however subjective and bizarre the weltanschauung and however conservative or radical the style of sHes art and philosophy.
So did I meet Miles Mathis on his website - and was transferred from there to an other artist - unknown by most European editors of Art books: Thomas Hart Benton.

The papers of Miles Mathis are based on his, according to himself, superior math and physics. In fact, the Artist (with a big A) considers the physicists of our time to be wide off the target and the mathematicians haven't even got π right.

That's a rather hefty accusation and worth a lot of respect!

But one can ask oneself; how come the Jumbo jet engines, the turbines in nuclear plants and the F 1-cars are working at all when the construction engineers, according to Miles Mathis, are working with fundamental errors in their basic math?

Maybe that's not an appropriate question - an artist should have the right to question every detail in the scientific consensus, whatever consequences, for the rational mind.

Truth is a threatened species.
Western media has abandoned truth - and in Libya the invaders are called rats. That's true.

Lust and Pain - twins - the one cannot exist without the other - standing back to back - because they are each others opposites. According to DaVinci, that is.

The happy few live their life in peace. The world is out there somewhere and Me myself is here somewhere. Zen-like in the wrong place at the wrong time. But that is the feelings of my imprisoned Ego. Due to the eternal judgment I do the right thing by being a slave, hurting nobody and just being an all right guy offending nobody. I will have a price to win, by those who knew me, and look forward to - "he was a good man"...

The French jetfighters of NATO took out the Libyan leader Gaddafi, after the destruction of his home city, Sirte. The "freedom fighters" symbolically ended his life in a water pipe. For future students of the deeds of the Military Power Sirte will be the Guernica of Northern Africa.

Natural behaviour is to be lazy. Let the gravity take care of business. Let the wind carry your seeds.
Rely on the genetic education in the school of Time.
Rely also on luck - one day is your lucky day -  when you are at the right place at the right time.
Natural beauty is this behaviour resulting in the aesthetics of the wilderness. The blue mountains, forested and crisscrossed by rivers and canyons with lakes and marshlands hosting birds and fish, amphibians and insects. In the wilderness and the animal kingdom you seldom observe unnecessary work and newer garbage.
Ugliness is a strictly human category.

Picture: "Dont combine them" by Birgitta Bjerke

Once more we have to watch a massive attack, "The Odyssey Dawn", on a sovereign state, this time with the full support of UN, by the "international community",  not so international anyway due to the fact that Germany, Brazil, Russia and China does not participate in the attack. Not to speak about Iran.
With tremendous force the western allies hammer the "air defences" of Gaddafi implementing a no fly zone, heralding the UN resolution 1973 as a mantra. All the warriors interviewed, sharp nosed and burning of an ice cold death wish, in BBC and CNN, repeat the mantra; UN resolution 1973, 1973, 1973...
General Clark, sitting by the sideline, is confident that missiles and bombs are the right democratic medicine for Libya. Congressmen Lieberman and McCain thinks the medication is two weeks late.
The Arabic League, who unanimously voted for the implementation of a no fly zone over Libya, now, in the aftermath of the initial fierce bombardment, step back and "criticize" the use of overwhelming force.
What other repercussions will backfire in the Arabic and African world?

Heavy snowfall and winter activities to stay alive, to be able to drive the car to the the supermarket. Old muscles suddenly repeating its movements from prehistorically times of genetic refinement, to get the snow out of the way. Humanity and me myself want to stay alive.

In a sudden the natural aspects of the development and destruction of civilisations have been addressed in scientific circles' and in media. The volcanoes have spoken. Earthquakes have shaken the firm beliefs of the humanists. The astronomical  and geological discoveries has transformed the meteoritic nightmare to reality.

One explanation of why people seem to be unable to live in peace and harmony could have its roots in the fact that the Earth is chocked by natural catastrophes, all the time, and that people have to be physical and psychological strong to survive the hardships following a major impact by an asteroid or series of huge volcanic eruptions.
In peace and harmony people tend to go to the movies, have delicious food with a nice glass of wine. With long good nights sleeping and pleasures in the bed the bodies of the peaceful are degenerating.
The battle of post cataclysmic survival, will be a severe chock for the wealthy and rich.

The philosophers related to Nietzsche state that we need the wars to be hardened and my interpretation today is that we thus will be able to cope with the next grand natural catastrophe.
When the North Africans go further north into Old Europe its time to wake up again.
When the Europeans went to America two hundred years ago they travelled in small ships, a few at the time. The Indians accepted that. "We have plenty of land".
Today the immigrants come in huge vessels and they will be able to come all at once. Urban youngsters in the millions, hungry and healthy, will not accept to stand outside the privileges of the civilised Europeans.

The question is what will become of the young European football hooligans, Hells Angels, Death Metal head bangers, mountaineers, base jumpers, motocross bikers, computer freaks playing Battlefield 3, Call of Duty 2 and Assassin Creed and the rest of the wild European youngsters?

Will they accept to loose their privileges?

Do they have a strategy or are they the losers in the clash of civilisations, together with their moms and dads and the USA?

Or have they learned something from the two world wars that originated in Europe?

Nowhere in history have the privileges of one civilisation and the suffering of an other existed side by side - if they knew about one and other.   

So the Middle East is, as always, the root of wars and the hub of genetic exercise - the fitness centre of mankind.

Newer lay back and believe you are there. There are always struggles ahead!

                                                                                                The bail out of Assange

The hacker, the drop out genius and the actual focus of global media;
Julian Assange have announced that he will write a book about what
have happened to him since he began his work for opening up the closed
spaces around the American diplomats and consultants to the US Government.

Known is that the big US/English Media Concerns have sponsored the Assange project from the beginning and that the project is looked upon as a project of rightfulness among many known media figures with something like an own personal opinion, i.e. not represented by an "agent", "producer" ("owner" in the old days).
Pop stars are represented by agents and supposed to say the right thing when appearing in media, reporters are managed by editors out on their scoops, researchers are more and more there for some grand idea - "halt the greenhouse effect", "stop the MIC", "Prove that Allah Akhbar", "Finish the Likud - make peace in the region by eliminating the Iranian nuclear program" - a lot of hidden agendas lurk in the shining Nobel price charisma of the "neutral scientific researcher".
Were is "The Truth" to find in the sharp nomenclature of the demagogues and rhetoric of modern politics? What is political correctness and consensus and what is not?
In Norway the correctness is correctness violated in China, which is expanding its political sphere in Sweden, as the new owner of one of Sweden's most important industrial players during the last century, but retracting from Norway where the Chinese political sphere has imploded. There is no flow of information between the Chinese and Norwegian leaders.
The rifts has also opened between EU and Norway outside EU, and between NATO and Sweden outside NATO.

A seeker of truth has difficulties already on the local level, where information is rich and the mere knowledge of languages make it natural to think - "at least what concerns my personal truth - I know, as Descartes has it, where the limes is drawn - what is possible to know, is true!"

I know, for example, that it is true that I write this blog right now, but I don't know exactly what my son is doing on the second floor.
But I know it it true that I can find out what he is doing there - playing a Lego game on the television screen or looking at a cartoon (Simpsons or Family Guy) - by just making a physical move up the stairs and find out with my own eyes.

What Assange presents for the world at the VickyLeaks website (when it is accessible) is not possible to check with some normal method so there is room for denials and doubt, there is always possible to make interpretations and the rhetoric's of the diplomats and politicians can always be repaired by pundits of the democratic nomenclature.

What is the truth when China expands in Africa today is the same truth that made Sweden expand in South Africa, long before the Mandela victory - the truth that political power comes with the help of "the enemy of my enemy"!

Assange and his media status as hero or traitor focuses on the double reality of the modern world - a terrorist is a hero in certain religious AND political spheres and the Christian western world has a huge problem lurking in its colonial history.

The time is over when presidents and kings could send troops to curb the Boxers or the crowds of distant colonial cities rioting for food or freedom. Or is it? Saddam and his holy guard was curbed all right.
The real test will be Northern African upheavals and Ahmadinejad and his structure of power.

In the meantime poor crowds of immigrants have invaded the western cities and are expanding within, saturated with a more or less unconscious sense of  revenge and at least exploitable for the violent ideas - Jihad or Revolution

The feminists in the same grand cities are participating in an other revenge project - to dismantle the male power.
Said Emmeline Pankhurst, in the beginning of the 19-hundreds:

"The militancy of men, through all the centuries, has drenched the world with blood. The militancy of women has harmed no human life"

Lets see what the feminist style of the new millennium will look like.
Maybe the Goddess Gaia will seize the power of life once and for all and dethrone the Universal Father and make him a material provider of dead stardust from the supernovas - like the Assange diplomatic files.

Imagine the multiple meteorite downfall when the rivers from the Great Lake District in a sudden are beginning to flow north instead of south!

This is a mega impact straight into the slowly retracting Laurentide Ice Sheet with huge geological consequences but, so far, few historical or archaeological traces

Then imagine the fast continuation of the melting of the Laurentide Ice Sheet AND the the ice sheets all over the planet and the subsequent fast rising sea levels of the oceans.
The land bridge of Beringia is flooded 11 000 y.a.

http://www.esd.ornl.gov/projects/qen/nercNORTHAMERICA.html

The Laurentide Ice Sheet retracts up into the mountains of Alaska and will totally disappear during the Bronze Age.
The lush plains of Indonesia - the land mass between Australia and Asia - are flooded, like the continental coastlines along Norway and around Europe, India and all along the continents of the Planet Earth.

And, again, Plato talks 500 b.c. about the destruction of Atlantis occurring "9000 y.a." and he refers to Solon and old Egyptian knowledge.

As the Homeric myths of the Trojan Wars have been showed to contain a core of historical fact, the Atlantic myths will do too.
Facts are transferred through time in a poetic shroud and is visible in the light of modern science.
It's like x-ray observation of the bones of the sagas, visible only due to technological advances of humanity.
Pollen analyzes and 14C dating is combined with ice core analyzes, paleometeriological plottings and oceanography.

The poetry of Snorre and the Norse sagas convey the human observations and mythical names - like the Fimbul Winter - but modern science can present the geological, meteorological and astronomical interpretation of the misty mythological language.

The polarity of poetry and hard facts is like an Icelandic volcanoe emitting glowing lava into the many thousand feet thick ice sheet covering the caldera; a lot of ash explodes into the atmosphere and the cataclysm is possible to observe all over the northern hemisphere.

Intelligent people and archaeologists all over will be able to look into prehistorically epochs with new methods of observation and their collective tale will condense into the myths of the future, contained in the hard disk back ups stored in the cold and stable safes of the evolving civilization.

The Iceland Volcano Eyjafjallajokull gives us a hint of our vulnerability as inhabitants on the northern hemisphere. But for now the activity has cooled down.

http://www.icenews.is/index.php/2010/05/05/geologist-answers-iceland-volcano-questions/

The Katla caldera, 30 km from the current eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, has a diameter of 10 km covered with a 700 m thick ice sheet.

Underneath Katla there is a hot spot - a huge plume of magma rising up from the hot centre of the Earth.

An eruption of Katla would diminish the current eruption to insignificance and would be a mayor catastrophic event causing dramatic effects on the climate and block out the sunlight for months. The amount of ash, created when lava is blown strait into the ice, spewed into the atmosphere and troposphere (and even higher) would be of truly colossal dimensions.

In the Edda of Snorre the multiple year winter, following such an eruption, is called "Fimbulvinter".

In 2003 Frank Partnoy did send me a book describing the methods of a Morgan Stanley salesman, howling: "There's blood in the water. Let's go kill someone".
Most often it was, Frank Partnoy writes in his insider diary "F.I.A.S.C.O.", the investors investing in different pension funds on the global markets who got killed.
Ripped off. Fooled. "Hey guys, look what I just sold - a Three-Year Currency Protected Sterling Inverse Floater" meaning something opposite to the sales arguments.  The future losses were packed in Freddie Mac AAA:s and the implicit backing by the US Treasury.
It was all about selling the POs and IOettes to Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae, Sallie Mae and Freddie Mac and executing the AMIT and MX transactions.

The killers were boozing around, looking for prey and the RJR Nabisco deal and other swap deals were profitable beyond imagination.

Now this fellow has written a book about Ivar Kreuger (to counter the information on www.qikrux.com/kreuger) using his experience from the Wall Street to smear more grease on the memory of citizen Ivar Kreuger.

When this book is published and marketed BBC gladly states that Ivar Kreuger shot himself in a hotel room in Paris.
BBC colports that Ivar Kreuger managed a Ponzi scam far bigger than Bernard Madoff's and builds on the corrupt information of Frank Partnoy, Allen Churchill, Robert Shaplen, Ilja Ehrenburg ( even if it would surprise me if these British fellows know about him - the only Stalinist exile with access to Stalin himself) and Graham Greene (the Bolshevik author, inspired by the art of El Lissitzky, Picasso and Neruda) and his book about Ivar Kreuger, “England Made Me” 1954, and heads strait to Hell.

Ivar Kreuger was found dead in his apartment opposite Grand Palais in Paris, where he had lived for many years. He owned several buildings in central Paris.
At Place de Vendôme he and his building company Kreuger & Toll had constructed a beautiful neo classic palace for the Kreuger bank – Banque du Suède et Paris - with a winter garden on top of it, overlooking St Denis and Versailles. The private apartment on the two top floors was furnished with priceless art treasuries and a library containing the masterpieces of literature.

The work and life of Ivar Kreuger was solid like a rock. He made a brilliant carrier in construction, participating in the construction of Flatiron Building, working as chief engineer building Humboldt Stadium and Syracuse University. Going back to Sweden taking on the reconstruction of the Match Industry and continuing into cellulose buying and fusing a long row of Swedish saw mills and cellulose companies, thus constructing the SCA, which in a few years grabbed 40% of the world market for cellulose.

He controlled 40% of the world market for high quality (> 60%) iron ore with LKAB, Stora Kopparberg and Gränges. He invested heavily in SKF and was in the beginning of the thirties in an merger process with Timken. He and Carl Schwab of Bethlehem Steel were on speaking terms and their close relation was not at all in the like of J P Morgan.

The Kreuger bonds was the most traded paper in the world due to the fact that it gave up to 30% annual profit from 1919 to 1929. The success was fundamentally based on concrete reality – the Kahn bar patent, construction companies, industries, timber, ore, power plants and real estate, not to mention the global network of companies owned by and associated with the Kreuger concern like Trussed Concrete Steel Company, later Truscon, Nippon Kokan KK, and Guggenheim Brothers and the network of political leaders who had accepted the biggest state loans in history from the Kreuger concern - so far from the illusive tricks' of a Bernard Madoff that the comparison stinks.

So far from the Morgan Stanley, according to Frank Partnoy, scams it is possible to come.

Ivar Kreuger was working for world peace and had the economic muscles to fight the MIC. He was the leading financier backing the Briand Kellogg pact, stating that war is a criminal act, signed by more than 20 of the world’s biggest states, including the Soviet Union and he was invited to speak at the Peace Conference in Genève in June 1932.

But already the 12th of March 1932 he died at Avenue Victor Emmanuel III no 5 with a book by this Stalin friend Ilja Ehrenburg on his night table, “Die heiligsten güter” printed 1931, and translated to Swedish, describing the life and untimely death of the match king Sven Olsson, in a hotel room in Paris.

There was no speech, together with Albert Einstein, one of the other supporters of the Briand Kellogg pact, in Genève.
Instead the whole pact was forgotten and the world accelerated towards war and pogroms again, with the MIC agents acting on every possible level of global affairs.

The merchants of war and unhealthy high interests didn’t like Ivar Kreuger and mobilized in the aftermath of the 1929 crash to finish him off.
An unholy alliance of brutal Bolsheviks, fanatic nationalists and militant super capitalists formed and congregated in Paris on the funeral day of Aristide Briand - the 12th of March 1932.

At 10 AM, New York time, that day, hours before anyone, but the inner circle, knew that Ivar Kreuger was dead, the biggest sell order in the history of Wall Street was called in from Paris.

The Kreuger scandal was orchestrated by the lugubrious forces behind the media of the early thirties whom inverted the truth and made Ivar Kreuger, who successfully fought the pirates of baisse speculation and economic swindle, a swindler himself.

On Big Island Hawaii there is a constant eruption from many different calderas. From this one close to Hilo the smoke comes from the top but the lava is erupting further down, close to the sea and flows into the ocean in an cloud of hot boiling sea.
We visited friends living close by, on land created only fifty years ago. There were this creative feeling of the pioneers, always coming first.

If you hate the American style of governing the world you at least verbally understand the ugliness of that power execution. You are able to read the documents and penetrate into the decision maker databases. But what about your absolute ignorance concerning Chinese, Arab, African documentations?

The global financial crash is here. Intelligent people have observed the signs for decades ending up in the present crash. Its time for reflection and self analyzes - what went wrong? In the crash 1929 people were not ready either - they were taken by surprise.
A planned action can be seen - the financial system is vulnerable - you have to have "trust" to be able to act on the markets. But who trusts Morgan? Who trust Credit Lyon? Who trust Lehman Brothers? When the financial Giants themselves are not trusted the breakdown comes. Who trusts Uncle Sam? Who trusts FED?
The subprime swamp is a misguided and corrupt American welfare program where people with small and sporadic incomes have had the opportunity to buy real estate in an acceptable but when time flies, more and more dangerously hot mortgage climate.

As long as "growth" is a fact, as long as the Financial Pyramids are sucking in from the bottom; the growing populations ever growing consumption everything is OK. But there are disturbances to this growth. War is a great disturbance. And war it is - the war against terror - sclerotization of the world trade and finance. First North Korea then Iran. Regions of no transfer of capital tend to aggravate the choking of capital flow on a global scale.

A war is like an infarct. Everything around Israel dies - Palestinians, the fish in the rivers, bees in the gardens - depleted uranium and pesticides. The ecological catastrophe is the side effect of war and war-like conditions.

Nothing good comes out of war - only more greed and impotence, sorrow and pain.

The war against terror is terror itself.

Anyone interested in alternative facts should read the Pakistani newspapers, Indian Times, Japanese newspapers and listen to Japanese radio where Stanley Hilton reach out, accusing the straussians in the US-government for planning and executing the 911 catastrophe with remote controlled planes and an air force which thought it was just an other "drill".

Stanley Hilton himself wrote a "master" dealing with the scenario that an US president is arranging a Pearl Harbour chock and thus seizes the dictatorial power. 
Stanley Hilton was schoolmate with many of the neocons and knew most of them very well. He has personal knowledge of how the people in the bunker thinks and has in the storm of hormones and blindness of youth maybe inspired them.

It looks so - when the details are scrutinized the plot looks perfectly like the one Stanley Hilton described in a political academically manner many decades ago - around the 60-ties. The Air force deluded, the Army unknowing, fire-fighters sacrificing their lives, policemen trapped in death and horror, thousands of people burning in hell, jumping out of the windows from the burning towers...and it was just another "drill" - no air force to be seen - when the normal procedure is to act on every little Cessna, within minutes, which is a few yards out of stipulated route.
Within a few days the president is giving his famous speech drawing every conclusion possible - the war against terrorists is declared.
The plan is all chopped out on the stone walls in the bunker - air force One is flying straight into the mountain - huge Bond-like structures in action - the vice is in command - "disappeared" for some time.
First Taliban then Saddam!
And most of all - oil! The MIC always needs oil for the machinery of war and war it is! Chock and Awe. Television screens all over the planet flashing.
And Victory is announced. The neocons disappear one after the other and the only thing that is still there is the power of the president.

The Patriot Act 1 and 2 is giving the president of USA unheard of power in all aspects of the ordinary citizen - it’s a clean cut rule of dictatorship.

Stanley Hilton is addressing this and points out that around 50% of the New Yorkers think that the government was involved in planning and executing the catastrophic 911 event.

In Canada the figures are even higher - polls show that 2 out of 3 Canadians think so.

In Asia the figures are almost the same.

Even in Europe people are beginning to look at the Internet articles that abound all over telling the "truth".

When Stanley Hilton ascends the horizon of media - something terrible must happen - again! And again. That’s the Way of the Warrior.

Down the road people are smashing each others heads in ordinary pub-clashes every Saturday night. Not so many dead, though in our land of plenty. Heads are hard.
In USA students are killed in mass killings at High Schools and Universities by persons committing suicide after emptying their weapons strait into the crowds.
Suicide seem to be a popular thing among youngsters in this crazy moment in time.
In war zones as well as in academically peace the suicide seem to be a method for escape...the whole world must be in a terrific limbo.

Innovation is in the vocabulary of almost every politician today but my suspicion is that it's just an other mantra - real innovation is derived from practical work and out-of-the-box thinking.
When a real innovator tries to get funding from the system of established funds - he will notice that his innovative mind is like a sphere being pressed into a square opening. He is forced to stop being innovative and begin to adjust himself to the language of the red-tape to be able to get funding.
The suspicion that he is a bluff and bogus is the first encounter with the red-tapes - because by definition what an innovative person comes up with does not exist, but is his innovation - and even worse, his invention. I know, by own experience, how the red-tapes by force make a burning innovative mind cooler and cooler...funds are like tranquilizers for crazy people...come down and be practical!

After a lengthy period of illness and planning the Qi is low and feelings of Krux - crucifixion - is high - a living soul in this hard world must consider luck and bad luck - every day - what is luck? The good consciousness - you made your family happy through the Christmas time - you paid their gifts and made everything as good as expected with a Christmas tree blazing and the cat content and snow in the slopes for the young ladies...
Bad luck? - your art is not recognized anywhere, you are a nobody in the large world.
But here on the blogline you are the master of cermonies - I know everything about myself better than everybody else. Yes, the best thing to know is that you do good things for your loved ones. Easy - but ego-death.

The non voluntary experience of being disconnected from the web is like going into a depression.  It's a modern feeling of incompleteness, a feeling of loss. Its quite similar to abstinence - the feeling of non connectedness - the loss of self access! 
More and more people are addicted to the internet and when the lambda-net and the possibility of shifting 100 gigabit per second is around (within less then 20 years) the addiction to the internet will be absolute - we will be connected all the time and different kinds of sensors will monitor our health, psychic stability and humanity will, in a strange way, be merged into a super humanity. Voice-to-screen and automatic translation will make it possible to communicate with people from all around the world. (www.uninett.no)

The Grand Chessboard at my bedside all the summer long - a few worlds here and a few worlds there. Main Kampf not in sight though and not at all The Protocols of the wise of Zion. Which they sometimes were once in my youth, strong and ignorant, when I was a student of the outsides of the University. 

Propelling far beyond the Bolzano mathematics and the statistics of Professor Herman Vold at the Uppsala University I began looking into old politics and old stratagems of war. 
In the small bookshops around the Swedish capitals - The Capital of  - Zueuz - "Svearna" - Stockholm and the Capital of the Goeths - "Gøterna" -  Gothenburg I did find some rare examples of holistic thinkers. 
After the student period with Strindberg and Bjørnson, Dostojevski and Vonnagut - yes, Shakespeare and The Fugs, allrigh, and the poems of Ferlingetti, OK - there was a silence!
The silence of making money - fast! And the silence of losing money - even faster!
Then I met Koestler and changed - with him the fragments of the English language began to fall in place and the bizarre world of statistical "reality" problems appeared on the horizon.

How come that dogs bite the same amount of postmen during the years? Not exactly 43 a day, but 37 one day and 46 the other - how come that a almost the same amount of dogs, of all the existing X dogs in the district in focus, aggressively attack almost exactly the same amount of  Y postmen - year after year?

What about the serialities of Kammerer? 

A  person that I never have met before is standing in my preferable bookstore - "psst, who is that?", "it's the famous philosopher Lindstrom." 
Along the book shelf's there are many possibilities making acquaintances and I had a fast chat with the man - he just had spotted The Ship of Fools, by Katherine Ann Porter.

The day after, in an other part of the city, I bump into the philosopher at a crossing; "sorry!" - "no problem, did you like the book?"

On the third day after our first meeting we bump into each other again - "I'm sorry, but are you pursuing me?" "I'm really sorry, no I am not - this must be pure coincidence!"

He believed me and I asked the philosopher if he by the way could give an interview, now that we seem to bump into each other anyway.

He accepted and we meet a few times at his home. He explained his branch on the tree of Philosophy  - the logical mathematical one.
"A person can not be both long and short"  - "There is very little to be sure about - I don't even know who my neighbors are - and even less about their thoughts" OK. 

Seven years passed. And we didn't meet one single time during those years

One day I was standing in the Gothenburg Public Library reading a new article by professor Lindstrom in a monthly magazine - dealing with the two questions: (1) Are we free agents? and (2) Can we be morally responsible for what we do?
 I recognized his ways of double-ney-thinking - somewhat dryer than the Darwinian bio-chemical genetics of the foremost academic thinkers. The supreme materialism, one might say.

I left the Library, full of intentions and feelings of moral responsibility for my daughters, who I intended to fetch from school. 

I drew my car up the Victor Rydberg Street and in the end of the uphill - I saw the characteristic figure of the philosopher Lindstrom - full brake - making a sharp turn, jumping out of the car; "Five minutes ago I finished reading your brand new article concerning the Freedom of Will and noticed that you nowadays are at the helm of the Philosophical Institution - congratulations."
"Strange, there might exist something we cannot talk about" and he held his index finger and thumb a few millimeters apart in the air.

I can give a long row of examples of Jungian meaningful coincidences that have added meaning to my simple life - so when the politicians' at the Grand Chessboard talk about "luck" to achieve A New World Order - I understand what they mean. 

My understanding is thus based on my own observations and not on others - this methodology is suggested also by Descartes, and there is nothing more obvious, to a feeling and thinking self,  than the feeling of having good luck or the feeling of having bad luck!

The subjective world of feelings are above (under, around, encroaching) the philosophical flow of objective thoughts.

Books are there like stars on the night sky - when the day is sunny there is only Apollonian Subjectivism - warm and healthy.
Life itself is the answer to all questions - and to be is the feeling of having good luck.

Far away from the stratagems of the war zone!

In the valley the temperature rises to 22 degrees Celsius and the last rose is perfect beauty. The cat is a new member of the family, bringing some kind of paradox; soft and cozy but with really sharp teeth and claws.
The international affairs are diffuse, in a waiting mood,  and there is appeasement all the way, Sarkozy, Merkel, Fogh Rasmussen, Reinfeldt...

Three families took a boat tour on the oblong lake Eikern - landing on a small island at Hakavik. A sunny day, kids playing and having fun. We were looking at a huge Power Plant on the western side - our Captain told us that the Germans forces attacked this place, weeks before the invation in 1940, because the electricity produced here was specially designed (frequencies and voltage) to supply the trains between southern Norway and Oslo - a vital communication line at that time. 
The German elite guard came sneaking one day and "secured" the place.
Nobody knew anything and when the invasion came - this important Power Plant already was secured by secret German forces.

How many places around the world today is not secured by American forces?

In a sudden: the blue sky and optimistic attitudes appear simultaneously.
Polar people might have a more close connection to the climate and to climate changes - aware of the coming winter even in the midst of the summer, chopping wood, harvesting the crops and taking care of the buildings, looking after the furs and winter clothing...a primitive stroke of polar genetics.
I feel like an old polar inhabitant in a strange new world.
Technologies are there to send my body down south and warming is as natural as electricity in big city malls.
But the genes are the same as in the Fenno Scandinavian Golden Age of the low tech society.

In the Golden Age a king had his castle at Rauk, a fossil town, with well guarded halls, carved out in the huge rocks, from a sea bottom, 440 million years old.
A fossil reef for the 12 Norse Gods and the Gothic Semigods.
Discussing the difference between hypocrisy and cynicism, finding no School of hypocrites but for certain one of cynicists...

Loke looking on, with a grin on his scar face. Beautiful Freia flirting with everyone - in love with them all.

The king himself on his ship, floating on the Baltic Sea, scrutinizing the seafarers of the Seven Seas, exchanging gods for the Gods in Baltic Coastal areas.

Always close to the Sea - the Baltic People. With excellent soil for feeding their kids and elderly...

The Baltic Gods where of many genetic brands and had the stamina of the braking waves.

Nuclear waste in Kola, temporarily stored, for more than thirty years, by the soviet hardliners, is threatening to blow up. Salt water is poring into the containers. Old cracked pots of concrete containing tons of radioactive material from old nuclear submarines could make the whole of Northern Europe uninhabitable - if exploding.
What does the Russians do?
Building new missiles - caring less for old mistakes.

Today my eyes are falling upon the Russian Nationalist Eduard Limonov as the founder of a new party - Drugaja Rossija - together with chess genius Garri Kasparov and former prime minister Mikhail Kasianov.

1991 Limonov founded his first party - the National Bolsheviks' - occupying the Tower of Bells in Latvia focusing on the problems of the Russian minority in the former soviet republic and he even tried to invade Kazakhstan buying a lot of weaponry and planning the invasion in gross detail. For these activities he was arrested and jailed for a couple of years. 
In the war in Bosnia he fought on the Serbian side.

Now he states that bloody riots and revolutions are obsolete and that modern Russian politics is a question of assembling huge crowds and demonstrate political ideas and manifestos. To show the establishment that there is concrete opposition and what this opposition want is the goal of mass gatherings, which in themselves are an insurance against violence.

The OMON - the riot police force of Russia have microphones and lenses close to Eduard Limonov all the time and know exactly his whereabouts. 
"I will be arrested and killed in the cell or there will occur an accident in the street" says Eduard Limonov.

When James Lovelock these days takes place in the teachers chair he is not in the cheerful mood. He is blunt negative and declare the end of civilization as we know it, due to the "revenge of Gaia".

He talks about mass migrations to still habitable spaces - magnificent biblical pictures comes to mind - and his sayings are based on life long scientific studies.

It's not only the GW (global warming) James Lovelock is pessimistic about - the oceans are soon barren and empty, water all over the planet scarce and polluted, bees are dying due to EM-radiation and/or pesticides etc etc.

The last edition (April 2007) of National Geographic presents terrifying facts - for everyone to understand, except politicians and directors of industrial fishing fleets - that the danger is imminent that the whole ecological system of the Oceans of the World soon will collapse due to over fishing (as it already has done on the once rich banks of New Foundland). The international fishing fleet is far to big and the industrialized fishing is a total ecological disaster. 

Bird flue and the mad cows disease are only small hints of what will come due to greedy, unnatural and cruel farming with too small spaces and prophylactic penicillin administrated to the cattle and poultry. Hormones mixed in the food to speed up growing. Mono cultural farming with altered genes - vulnerable for unknown future diseases - spread by microbiological mutants. 

When the politicians now boast that they have the power to stop "emissions" to save the world, they instead are out for power. They (subconsciously?) see the chance, together with stupid media representatives (reporters) to seize power of the industrial community and the transport sector, which they themselves have given green light to expand unlimited all over the planet since the days of the T-Ford. 
Right now the authorities are engaged in dealing national carbon-gas as ridiculous merchants, instead of doing serious work, then they will do all the wrong things bureaucrats are able to do.

The more everyone will realize the futility of the political actions the more the warmongers are making themselves heard. War is of course the continuation of BAD politics and the upheavals following the GW and the starvation in the aftermath of ecological collapse will intensify the arguments of the aggressive forces in this militarized world.

Gaia is exhausted, overpopulated and poisoned.

It's worth while, once more, to read the Voluspá - the first song in the Norse Edda - Codex Regius - and for a while try to step out of the enlighten persona of the 21 Century.

When Al Gore educates the world about the consequences of global warming he is for sure on the right track. His staff has provided him with brilliant slides showing what happens if the sea level rises, due to melting of the Greenland ice sheet and/or parts of the Antarctic one.
That's all right - here at Qikrux we have rung the alarm bell for many years.

But there is something all too political about Al Gore and his project.
He stresses the must to stop "emissions" as if that is The solution! 

For us, with deep roots in the songs of the Edda, the sagas of the Mesopotamians and Egyptians the problem is perennial - Floods are coming and Ice Ages going. 
Long before the industrialization these changes in the temperature of Planet Earth - who some call Gaia - have been observed and mentioned in the myths of our forefathers. 
The global myth of Atlantis is the most adequate - 12000 years ago there was a sudden change in the global climate and the flooding ended the Atlantic civilization. 
All paleometeriological facts are consistent with the Platonic texts.

Even if the transport sector came to a complete stop, all industrial plants was shut off and people began to live like before Prometheus, the greenhouse effect would continue.

There is only one thing to do - and that is to look at the problem in a big way.
We humans have to realize that we are small ants on the Planet - and that the Planet once more is changing profoundly, as it has done many times before.
We have to open both eyes and see what's positive and not only look at what's negative about global warming.

We have said it before, here at Qikrux, but we must say it again; there are new habitats opening up when the atmosphere is expanding with 2-6 degrees Celsius. The monsoons will lift over the Himalayas!
The deserts of Gobi will bloom again, as it did during the Bronze Age with huge cities like I Zin and rivers in the Taklamakan desert, which Sven Hedin discovered in the beginning of the 19-hundreds.

Siberia will be the base for an agricultural bonanza.

Alaska and Northern Canada will bloom.

The pessimistic position that the deserts of Africa - i.e. Sahara - will grow is not a fact - it is a pessimistic projection. Most probably the rains will come there too - like 7000 years ago, when the Sahara's was a forested paradise for animals and human beings.

OK - there will be coastal catastrophes, en masse, and people will need ships! The bronze age rock carvings are telling you that.

But instead of despair directly after the period of denial, coastal people have to look for new land - again and again.

The most threatening stance of humankind is that the warmongers see their possibilities, in dire times, as they have tended to do for thousands of years.

Our best chance might be to establish a global matriarchate with other solutions than the historic male solution of war as the continuation of politics.

The music producer Aaron Russo, once working together with Greatful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, the Who and later with Betty Midler is still going strong. 
He has produced and made a documentary called "From Freedom to Fascism", possible to preview on Google and to order from http://www.freedomtofascism.com 

The film is an expose of the Internal Revenue Service, and proves conclusively there is no law requiring an American citizen to pay a direct unapportioned Tax on their labor. 
The Russo thesis is that this (illegal) tax was imposed after 1913 when the Federal Reserve was (illegally) established to pay the interest the private banks behind Fed requested for printing dollar bills out of "thin air"

Its a fascinating project. According to Aaron Russo the most important thing for maintaining freedom in this world is to observe where the real power resides and take democratic action to prevent this power from further enslaving the people of America and elsewhere.

In the small country of Sweden the new leader of the Social Democrats Mona Sahlin, a couple of times invited to the Bilderberg gatherings, meet the prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, a moderate right wing politician, and they don't seem to immediately fall into each others trout's.
Maybe they realize that the workers and the owners of the companies in Sweden are in the same global situation - if you don't produce the right stuff at the right time, you are lost.

Chinese or Indian companies are extremely well timed producers!
In Finland the right wing and the social democrats have made it  together in cooperation and maybe the Swedes are forced to do the same thing.
Small countries have to realize that if their workers and their bosses don't cooperate -globalization is going to wipe them out both.

Nowhere to go - stuck inside my body. The narrow brain, me myself, the boring limits of oneself. Like a prisoner in my own self I try to find something that inspires - anything!

When the wealthy and powerful pessimists discuss the green house effect they always focus on disasters - the deserts will grow even drier while the costal areas will flood. Ice bears will drown and insects will migrate north and spread plaques and pestilence. Storms and hurricanes will destroy harbors and whole cities.

The truth is that, with a warmer and thus more energetic atmosphere, more water will evaporate from the oceans and rainstorms will reach further in on the continents - the monsoon will lift over the Himalayas and the Gobi desert will bloom again. The arid regions close to the center of Australia will become more humid and fertile. Siberia will become a fabulous agricultural area!

When Al Gore wakes up and understand what is going on he finds the alarmist stance most profitable - its the world of the rich people that is threatened by rising sea levels. 
Ask yourself - who lives close to the sea? 

When we, knowing the bronze age world, with a temperature 3-4 degrees Celsius warmer than what has been normal until now, contemplate the art from that time, we feel this warmth and can understand the symbols, the rock carvings, as symbols of peace and tranquility. Dancing gods under the warm sun.

Bronze Age renaissance!

A lot of parents are disgusted and negative about the computer gaming of their children - "instead of doing all this unnecessary foolish games they should do something useful - something that evolves their brains -  this idiotic shooting, running and jumping games what are they good for?"

Well, in old peasant days, a first born son who wanted to "study" was looked upon as a traitor - he should stay on the farm and do the real work - instead of doing something unnatural - writing and reading - not using his hands in real work, how foolish! 

The computer wizards of today are the power people of tomorrow.

On an Islam holy day, Id al-adha, marking the will of the patriarch Abraham to sacrifice his own son, Saddam Hussein was executed - and the video capturing the event was leaked - for blood thirsty individuals all over the world to celebrate.
A State murder of a State murderer.

States are murderous since the days of Baal and Grand Egypt. In the name of the State emperors are sending young men to kill other young men and in the process death is secure on all sides of the frontiers.
In the name of the State and the Empire uncountable millions have perished and absolutely nothing has happened since the first States in history appeared on the human horizon.
In an article from 1939, Albert Jay Nock writes about the criminality of the State http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article16012.htm
The interesting conclusion in this article is that it is mostly Strong States, Empires, that do the most ugly things!
Attacking peaceful smaller nations, seizing their national recourses - like in the colonial epoch.

Excerpt from the article:

The weaker the State is, the less power it has to commit crime. Where in Europe today does the State have the best criminal record? Where it is weakest: in Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Monaco, Andorra. Yet when the Dutch State, for instance, was strong, its criminality was appalling; in Java it massacred 9,000 persons in one morning which is considerably ahead of Hitler's record or Stalin's. It would not do the like today, for it could not; the Dutch people do not give it that much power, and would not stand for such conduct. When the Swedish State was a great empire, its record, say from 1660 to 1670, was fearful. What does all this mean but that if you do not want the State to act like a criminal, you must disarm it as you would a criminal; you must keep it weak. The State will always be criminal in proportion to its strength; a weak State will always be as criminal as it can be, or dare be, but if it is kept down to the proper limit of weakness - which, by the way, is a vast deal lower limit than people are led to believe - its criminality may be safely got on with.

It looks as if this Strong State syndrome repeats itself today with the atrocities in the Middle East where the strongest State on this Earth is the main force, giving unanimous support to the continuous State murders of "terrorists" - wherever they are spotted.

Now China and Russia agree with USA that Iran need to be punished in one or the other way for their stubborn nuclear enrichment program.
Everywhere think-tank's are processing this curious consensus decision - the Dec. 23 United Nations Security Council unanimous vote imposing sanctions or Iran.
Here in the artistic studio two sinister scenarios pop up: 

1. Bush is top secretly dealing with Putin and the Chinese party bosses,
(like in Jalta after the WW 2 - when Roosevelt gave Stalin free hands in Eastern Europe and Churchill protested in vain) and offers China free hands in the region containing Japan, Korea and Taiwan and Putin free hands in Northern Europe/Artic regions with the rich resources of oil and gas and strategic importance.

2. Russia and China has a big surprise for USA/Israel stacked in the pocket - with their vote they give a positive signal to the Washington - Tel Aviv - axis and lure them into an aggression against Iran. 
When this nuclear or non nuclear attack comes, the Iranians have the resources to sink the US-warships, included the grand battleships in the Gulf-region, and take down the Awac' s with awesome supersonic missiles provided by the Russian (already tested by the Chinese Fleet) and as an Armageddon - finale they "Vaporize the Jewish State" with nuclear mega blasts according to the prophesies of  the late Joe Vialls. 

God forbid this poor artist is even close to the "truth".

I often wonder - what is there to blog about? - millions of thoughts passes through the brain - media penetrates your perception - the clever websites are all full of pundit clarifications - friends tell you the truth - family ask you if you are sound and healthy - life is evolving, if not revolting, forward in time - every second is new - music measures time in an creative way - the time of Mozart or the time of Chi - Myopic Utopia give a certain quality to time flow itself......music is a great way to measure time flow. Especially if you are free enough to dance to it.
You can have a great time doing the same things as ever - at work, drilling your holes, at home eating your dinners, together with your family, giving each other comfort and hopes but the inner cyclone reverberate and there you are - in your corner - feeling the need to tell someone - something. 
Here I begin to think about something that very seldom has happened to me; but I have heard a lot of those stories: you are able to do things, sexually, with total strangers that you are not able to do to your spouse. 
What is this? Some kind of alienation? Blogging is a symptom of alienation - YES! To get something out that you hope someone out there will understand!?

The established political discourse in Scandinavia, wherever it occur, seem more and more hollow and hypocritical. 
The fact that the peoples of the Norse regions are born in extremely prolific regions with abundance of water, natural recourses and since old times are used to work very hard, have made them rich beyond compare.
Now their politicians are busy to cover up the colossal fortunes the National State, as a consequence of the busy peoples earnings, have collected. 
The Norwegian State have "invested" 1500 billions in foreign companies (often competing with the Norwegian ones), while the wealthy people have to take 30 dead on the roads in one month (July 2006) due to primitive roads. (When a few persons, as a comparison, are sick from eating some sausages, media are flooded with articles about bacteria we all have around us all the time.) 
In Sweden the "liberals", in their political election propaganda,  are boosting their will to bug all citizens - to catch the drug lords and stop the illegal drug trafficking. 
Nothing about the massive down drug program of the multinational medical companies and their ever expanding market for more or less phony drugs in the health care system or the moral collapse in both maintaining the state monopoly on alcohol, selling more than ever, in the same time as alcohol is, beyond doubt, the main factor behind violence against women, hooliganism, accidents and sickness among the masses.
Both the Swedish State and the Norwegian State are very successful weapon exporters, in the same time as the governmental foreign aid gurus are ever present in the ether, involved in peace making all over the planet.

What is then the alternative to the National State hypocrisy?
Globalism - neo feudal global companies with one open agenda - making money and more money!

Maybe better to know who the enemy is than to believe sHe is your friend....

European astronomers have found  a planet in the inhabitable zone around the star HD 69 830 - 41 light years away and somewhat smaller then our Sun.
The planet is about the size of Neptune and probably it has, during eons of time, attracted a lot of cosmic ice (comets) - now contained as liquid water. The planet might have large Oceans with temperatures where biological life is thriving. 

How far has the evolution come there?

Dinosaurs of the waters? Swimming monsters and swimming smooth and benign creatures - dolphin like creatures - hands free and happy?

Our recent biological history is full of enormous swimming creatures - 200 million years ago the Earthly Oceans were teaming with huge beasts - bigger than the Blue whale - fierce and aggressive and a few of them developed into beautiful dolphin like and intelligent sea animals.

Why?

How did life ignite into biological growth?

When?

Could it happen around HD 69 830, on a planet ten times as big as our dear Earth, covered with blue water, an atmosphere with a nice and fine temperature around 30 degrees Celsius at sea level - the temperature of Paradise - and the temperature of the Paradise lost, too?

It is fascinating to read Pierre Bourdieu (PB)- so many years later.
Texts about the Intellectual  - PB places the sociological insight above art. An intellectual artist is like a male woman to PB - it does not exist such a thing!

Its like reading war mongers manual - war is to important to be left to the generals. The Prince have to take the command of the armed forces - in his own person! 

And if an intellectual is pointing finger at the Prince, the last mentioned might stop that intellectual from further making his living in the University as well as in the Private Business of education. 
It is dangerous to point finger. 

In France it's burning again -students and young soldiers and police forces clash again. 

Do we remember our own youth? Yes we do - it´s like yesterday!

Dangerous times again  -  not even the universities are safe havens for the clear thought and rational calculus.

Stupidity - like the brutal bolshevism - starts there - the misconceptions of equality start before you know anything about the long cycles of life.

As a student you are hot on the One and Only Explanation - the way of Stalin, the way of Hitler - you understand clear simplifications - with me or against me!?

Language of the power is somewhat different to that of PB and few understand what's really going on.

The sociologist know about human conditions - in "fields", where the invisible power lines go - the networks of the mighty - representatives of the State, the Business and University, The Military,  mingle and are actors in the "field" of human affairs.

PB very seldom makes explorations out in to the fauna and flora of the Planet Earth, no he does not.

But the sociologist is the King - states PB - and he looks like a typical intellectual - unfit for life, in some Darwinian sense.

The Artist looks upon the entire Universe from an astronomers time scale and the power lines in and around the Capitals of the Empires fleers like power eruptions around the Sun. 

When cosmic cataclysms rave - the Real Power show the real face - the leaders who really know the way are there - popping up from all classes - popping up from the aristocracy as well as from other races than your own! From other families! 

Cooperation follows real natural disasters - and must be learned the hard way!?

Pessimistic projections tell us that - we can only learn the hard way - we - the people! 
We, living entities. 

Fungi, plants and insects, animals and human beings!

Trying to look into the future as investors and politicians do, is always tricky - artists do it, generals do it; projecting fantasy into the non existing future.

The most realistic persons on earth use their fantasy to stay on top.

What is going to happen to Europe?

European science have ridiculed fantasy - and the future - 
what is not, is not!

Only metaphysics to speculate about something that isn't.

But, anyway, one thing to speculate about is the future of Europe.

When the immigration culminates, when the Oceans flood, when the battle between Euro and Dollar have no relevance any more - when reality faces the European citizen and the human conditions once more have gravitated into basic problems of mobility, healthy bodies and safety - what happens?

Imagine the future of Europe and see a revitalization of communism - of the left wing - of the politics of the proletariat!

Europe in collapse is a leftist scenario.

And in USA - the right wing - there is a revitalization of fascism due to the breakdown of the Civil Rights State in extreme inequality and Christianity.

The Atlantic Ocean might be an insecure zone in between - on the swollen ocean in Greenhouse Earth the oil-gas tankers are blowing up. Hit by Chinese/Russian missiles.

Then do stop the fantasy! Change polarities and go to an other scenario - the successful Olympic future of European peace with dignity and education, style and honesty.

Isn't it better to se Europe leading the world into the future with constructive engineering, good planning and an ability to look into the Future.

The elders have not many years to look forward to - the young have eons in front of them...the current crisis in Iran/Palestine/Afghanistan/Syria/Iraq seem to affect them differently.

Today religious forces and the forces of dissidents and the forces of plain youth take to the streets in religious frenzy, burning flags and puppets. Crying for the blood of the Danish drawers of caricatures of the prophet.

How did the western churches react 600 years ago when an artist painted an ordinary human with an erection? Not to mention an artist painting God Almighty like that?

Condemnation and not so seldom, death punishment!

The 1,5 billion Moslems of the world, are, in a strictly religious way,  600 years behind  the Christian westerners in the development of their respective religious societies. 

Moses 600 BC! Mohammed 600 AD!

For the Moslems of the world the year could be 1425 AD. 
Look in the history books and study how the huge crowds of protestant children and not so young beggars and thief's robbed the catholic churches and monasteries all over Europe and killed the monks and priests in the name of god! 
But on both sides blaspheme pictures were absolutely forbidden!

In the Moslem world there is great tolerance of violent actions among fellow Moslems - Shia - Sunnis - and violent actions against Jews, but there is absolute intolerance concerning blaspheme pictures.

In remote regions of the Planet Earth there will be new possibilities to live and work when the Green House Effect takes on - there will be habitable spaces where there was only tundra before.

Everybody feel the change - contemplating hurricane Gudrun, New Orleans, floods in Bangladesh, colossal rainstorms in Norway. Everybody understands that something has happened.

A few are beginning to contemplate the direct consequences for people by the sea, living by the waters edge - where the most expensive real estate on Earth is situated.

With a temperature rising three degrees Celsius the grand glaciers of the Southern hemisphere will begin to move. The northern glaciers will melt down and create new levels of the Oceans of the world. All over the planet the coastal regions will be flooded - permanently or during long periods of the year. 
One of the most impressive exoduses ever will occur - and where will the rich go? Where will the rich, sea loving folk’s move - when the Ocean have devoured their estate?
Up Hill - to new habitats, opened in the Green House Earth - with Bronze Age climate again.
Upsala; cities further up, up on higher ground.

Exodus - due to flooding, due to war, due to famine and ecological disasters.

A Grand New Exodus is coming!

Wealthy people have to leave the coasts due to flooding water and in desert regions poor people have to move due to lack of water - expanding deserts are consuming their villages and cities.

Where will they move? How will they create their new worlds? Who are the entrepreneurs and where is the planning?

Questions to be asked - right now.

In the Baltic Sea there are fabulous possibilities in the middle of this catastrophic forecast - if capital could be raised  from the inhabitants of the Baltic Region to make the sufficient research and matchmaking to prepare for saving the Baltic coastline from the flood.

This research would show the opportunities and benefits by constructing a dam - The Baltic Dam - easily built according to Dutch know how by Scandinavian constructors - just two names; Skanska and Aker Kvaerner.

The prospect could, except saving the homes of the wealthy inhabitants of the Baltic region, be very lucrative for the ancestors of the same, when the Baltic sea basin becomes an enormous sweet water reservoir!

With pipeline technologies of the oil and gas segment of the industry, water could be exported to arid areas around the Mediterranean sea, where a dam project in Gibraltar do not solve the problem with an increasing scarcity of sweet water and increasing ecological problems as a consequence of that.

The new habitats of the future will be designed by the established architects and will of course look like conventional cities - like the new urban projects in India and China.
But some of the new habitats will look different and will harness geothermal power, nuclear power and combine high tech with modern methods of agriculture, aquaculture and urban sociology.

Today there is this new scanner to celebrate - Epson Perfection 3490 Photo. The water color was painted in the summer of 2005. Close to the waters edge - waiting for nothing. In peace, listening to the sounds of the seabirds going to rest in the short Nordic summer night. Moments of ease. Fårö is the home of my soul. While my body works, deep down in the Silver Mines.
Scanning the summer that is already gone, working with the memories of what never will come back. That artistic moment of work contains thoughts adjacent to vision - ideas spinning around an old method of picturing nature - the water color is as classical as a violin in creating art. Modern methods are there - in a future scanning process - now - and possibilities to go on working with the picture in digital transformations. While sitting by the waters edge studying nature there are natural thoughts coming to the mind. What is balance? How do the birds live their lives?
Nature speaks to you, humble human being! Take care!

Snow again on the ice of the river - white days - everyone is waiting for King Harald to open the Norwegian Championships in cross country skiing. King Winter is kind to the King of Norwegians.

Aftenposten in Norway tell us that in Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the son of a blacksmith, talks about the arrogant western world trying to eliminate the Islamic Umma, but he insists that a wave of holy hate will expatiate upon every continent.

The well paid media mediocrity always deride theories of conspiracy and thus obviously preparing the ground 
for the next humbug of the super rich and powerful - private investors and governments.

In times of war, the first thing that falls victim is the truth.
According to Machiavelli and Clausewitz, war is a 
question of deceiving the enemy while elaborating on stratagems.

Disinformation need the press and the footmen of propaganda.

What else is this but conspiracies;

The First Gulf War - a PR firm (Hill & Knowlton) made up the story of Iraqi’s throwing foetuses out of the incubators when invading Kuwait and every news station in the world related the story, which after the war proved to be the mentioned PR-firms innovative and absolutely untrue short-cut, where the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the USA played one of the characters.

The Second Gulf War -  some advisors to the 
bush-administration constructs the story of Iraq 
producing WMD, referring to non existing deals 
with African states and the press all over the world is the willing megaphone of the US administration.
