The Road To Hell
IMPORT Tax Now
I call on the EU to collect these taxes: 1 – the difference between wage costs in product that is imported versus wage costs of an equivalent product manufactured locally is unfair competition. I say tax it – and then send half that money back to the workers of China. So if a bike imported…

Deaf parents can now dial-a-child – next engineer a deaf one ?
MUMBAI: US President Barack Obama may not recommend “cheap healthcare” in India for his countrymen but Alan and Brian, a deaf-and-mute gay American couple couldn’t find a better place to have their twins, a girl and a boy. After trying for a baby in the US for about six years, the couple decided to come…

Post Democratic Sentiments
No coincidence – I am holding a “white rabbit” brainstorm with a very strong slant suggesting a fundamental crisis of western Democracy – this thursday the club of Amsterdam is holding a meeting where the theme is more or less “Democracy is Dead”. The problem is that this can be argued in both (incompatible) directions,…

18 Signs The Collapse Of Society Is Accelerating
As the U.S. economy collapses, the thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted is going to begin to disappear. In fact, there are already an increasing number of signs that the collapse of society is accelerating. In cities such as Chicago, roving packs of young people are “mob robbing” local businesses, randomly…
Mother Glory Hole
Funny as always. Cant wait for the remixes.
Facts about investments that governments can do nothing about
These are facts. Digital Sky Technologies It a russian company. It is a heavyly exposed investor in the social network Facebook, the social game Zynga and owner of the communicator ICQ. It also invests heavily in the somewhat less palatable Groupon. DST is also heavily involved with Goldman Sachs. And these people came up with…
Today’s Harvest – June 17
Oh … and something different. Let me get this straight. The Netherlands is in the grips of a ‘simpleton rumbling majority government’, the PM is argueing for a type of austerity and established service cost cutting that will without any doubt will costs hundreds if not thousands of people their lives – and the analysis…
Please do not visit RWSENTOSA
These bastards hold dolphins in small bassins, with an average life expectancy in captivity of no more than months. These Dolphins literally die of infections and terminal depression. Please remind their partners of the consequences of their actions, and support this.
Khannea’s Monetary Axiomatic Statement
Without getting to alarmist – I foresee catastrophic economic turmoil. Monetary economies are suffering major problems. Without getting bogged down in details – I think this has been caused by several conflicting mechanisms: (i) there is ambiguous global economic growth. This is no longer true as peak-oil and the (alleged) effects of resource depletion, global…
THE ADDICTION TO ONLINE SOCIALIZING
A year ago I told myself I would quit spending so much time with online socializing and start blogging more. A few months ago my Facebook account was deleted and my private information was revealed to thousands of people. I have no idea why but for some sick reason I continued to socialize on Facebook….

New Republic: Let Them Eat Cake Or Don’t Bake At All
Flannery O’Connor once described the contradictory desires that afflict all of us with characteristic simplicity. “Free will does not mean one will,” she wrote, “but many wills conflicting in one man.” The existence of appealing alternatives, after all, is what makes free will free: What would choice be without inner debate? We’re torn between staying…

Greece – walk away
I have a message to the people if Greece. Walk away from the Euro. Default. Don’t pay any more. Fuck the banks. Let the European central banks crash. They are raping you. Don’t let them, say ‘NO’ and leave. Nationalize all banks, and declare an emergency situation. It will hurt massively, but you will retain…
Daddies and Mommies to save us.
There is a pervasive message in popular entertainment that there are saviours outside humanity, above the masses of humanity. These movies depict battles of Good versus Evil forces, and they depict we will all be saved, despite the attempts of Evil to destroy humanity. The most insidious aspect of this popular entertainment is that humans,…
Make it all wash away.
The rain is pouring over this horrible country. I feel more horrific than I have in ten years and I last months I have lived in cycles of 2 weeks of feeling worse and worse and more or less neutral. My country is collapsing. I am being strangled by an oligarchic government. I am regarded…
White Rabbit 12 : What Matters Most
This is a white rabbit presentation where I will in very simple terms indite what is catastrophically wrong with our current understanding of an imminent Singularity.
