Alex Jones. The Right To Arm Bears

Alex Jones. Now here's a man who says that the "second amendment is sacrosanct". As with all individuals alluding to the sacred to support their cause, I feel some suspicion. Watching him agitate void of manners vis-à-vis CNNs Pierce Morgan didn't put that feeling to sleep. But let's give the bawdy badger some credit, after ...

Sarcastic rhyme about gun control – do not read

For the next school shooting - may God prevent it - for all those cynical left wingnuts out there who still don't think that when guns evolve as a solution, one should also invent the problems it can solve, here's a distasteful song that you may reprint for free. If you are personally affected by ...

The Decade of Inertia

Obama was perhaps catapulted into power by nifty social media outreach and a moderately credible promise of change we can believe in. When I look at the news, I don't believe in " real change" any more. Isn't the 'outcome' of climate conferences, such as those in Rio and Doha, always the same: empty promises ...

Very Bad vs Downright Catastrophic Climate Change

Image courtesy of realclimate.orgOn this blog I find myself often describing the psychological features of our climatic predicament. I mean, we know the facts, people are working around the clock to get the facts straight, and have succeeded in spite of the heavy lobby in favor of 'the economy' and against the facts. You can ...

Safehouses against capitalism

I'm penning these words while the election in the US is underway. Both candidates seem to give absolute priority to 'repairing the economy', to creating jobs, install the necessary pipelines, wage the necessary wars and destroy the necessary wildlife sanctuaries to keep gas conveniently low at the pump. This is insane and disgusting. What are ...

Bullying!

Bullying! that's the solution. All we need is thousands of anonymous people following the decision makers of the big corporations (Monsanto, DOW, Bayer, Pfizer, Shell, Chevron, Conoco, Vale, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, BP, Coca Cola, Nestle, Apple, Samsung, Goldman Sachs, ...) everywhere they go. Make graffiti, pee in their gardens, block their garages and lawns, ...

Japan voor een nacht

Een meisje dat alle talen sprak knikt de passagiers toe bij aankomst en wijst ze de juiste wachtrij aan. De boot vanuit Korea is over het water gevlogen, en de passagiers hebben geduldig in de comfortabele stoeltjes gezeten. Binnenruimtes zijn klein in Japan. Ik ben niet zeeziek maar mijn benen draaien nog een beetje als ...

Best of humanity

"This is not a vacation, gentlemen" sounded the speaker of the space shuttle. A group of five distinguished white males looked at each other but didn't seem the least uncomfortable. "You have been democratically elected because you are the most promising individuals to continue humankind. We the people have voted for you. Don't let us ...

random

"We hebben hier een antikapitalistische dichter." Hij kijkt de groep pubers aan die zijn zwembad komen bezoeken. Waarom had hij de dichter genoemd? Dacht hij dat het goede reclame was, dat de pubers vanwege die dichter liever in zijn zwembad zouden springen dan ergens anders? Hij herinnerde zich aan de Blauwe Golf aan de ...
