That's a fine translation. I would, however, take issue with the passage that pictures Asia's appearance: As 'Asia' clearly is the common grammatical subject of all the lines from "Doch bald... [But soon]" to "...Mir Asia auf [welled up inside me]", I don't see any reason to make the "tendrils...

Reuters: I can't wait for this one! Speaking of which, I always liked the Latin-American governments for their relaxed and unprejudiced stance towards the topic. The Brazilian military has even publicly acknowledged numerous sightings, saying that what they witnessed on radar or what was...

This latest bolstering of the domestic police state dovetails nicely with the recent US efforts to finally take on the big boys Iran/Pakistan and conflagrate the Middle East for good - WWIII, here we go! It seems that the Arab Spring has played out exactly as its engineers desired, resulting in...

Well, the documentary mentions that Khodorkovsky, just prior to his arrest, was liaisoning with the Bush clan and preparing, or rather finalising, contracts to sell substantial YUKOS assets to Exxon and Chevron. This is an undisputed fact. Debatable, however, is the extent of Khodorkovsky's own...

Just watched Cyril Tuschi's documentary Khodorkovsky which follows the fallen oligarch's biography from his post-soviet heyday to his time as the richest man in the world under 40 and his eventual imprisonment. I was impressed, to say the least. You get an in-depth look at the mechanics of 90's...

Yeah, Marcel Proust would have a blast at Christopher Street Day. Now why don't you piss off and post a poem on some facebook wall?

Excellent post, Vimothy. I especially liked the bit where you muse about the precise nature of the bereavement that has befallen contemporary culture and how most people are (blissfully?) unaware of the fact that they have been deprived of something fundamentally important. Reminded me of...

The wealth of links to substantial articles I provided and an engaging and matter-of-factly debate that unfolded with craner notwithstanding, this thread has now officially descended into an amateur theatre stage where self-indulgent losers are allowed to make their infantile and worn-out jokes...

A quick search turned up this BBC article from 18 September, 2001: Regarding Rumsfeld and Cheney: The consortium and PNAC are not the same thing. It is, however, very likely that two of the most prominent members of the PNAC, Rumsfeld and Cheney, are also members of the consortium. Could...

I suppose that when you're sitting in some black prison in an unknown location somewhere on the globe waiting for your next round of water-boarding you won't be able to knock on the door of your cell and shout: "Warden, get me a NYT reporter, I'm going public with this bullshit!"

Your synopsis gets it about right except for two points: Firstly, I never equated the rogue consortium with the PNAC - although Rumsfeld and Cheney are likely to be members of the former as well - and, secondly, I didn't mean to suggest that each and every one of the last decade's geopolitical...

Quite frankly, I'm not in position to judge whether or not there were or are viable and pragmatic geo-politico-economic alternatives to the UNECOL (sic!) pipeline. I must say, that how you describe the Afghanistan war coming into being as ahaphazard undertaking determined by military doctrine...

Sure, off the top of my head I can provide two sources: There's Noam Chomsky on Press TV making a point about the illegality of the Afghanistan war and the lack of evidence regarding a substantial Taliban/al-Qaeda connection: And then there's the very informative piece "Did 9/11 Justify the...

Fine, so case officers recognised some of the names on the passenger lists - - "Ah, yeah, I know him, that's the guy with al-Qaida connections who's been taking flight lessons in Florida for the last couple of months - who'd've guessed..." - - but where exactly comes the Afghanistan connection...

Say, they used a refurbished passenger aircraft equipped with transplanted remote control technology from high-end drone systems. Is this idea so much more outlandish than the official narrative where, unnoticed by the most powerful intelligence services in the world, a gang of Arab students...

My guess is that it was pulled off by a P2-style consortium of intelligence forces, military hardliners, neocon hawks and private industry interests (arms, finance), for the sole purpose of garnering the support in the general public for perpetual war in muslim countries. In one of their policy...

With the 10th anniversary of 9/11 coming up, it is important to resist the attempts of the corporate media to perpetuate and consolidate the official version of the events - which, if you look at it carefully, turns out to be the greatest conspiracy theory of all - and to remain mindful of the...

Mind-boggling. Are they preparing the general public for disclosure or where do all these high-quality confirmative documentaries come from? Anyway, the fact that in the wake of the Phoenix Lights incident and the notorious press conference that followed of all people that AZ governor himself...

There is more authenticity in a terrorist attack than in contemporary art. There is more reality in stock photography than in contemporary art. There is more beauty in plastic surgery than in contemporary art. There is more truth in a corporate mission statement than in contemporary art...

Fascinating. Thanks for posting this report, bruno. Also, that video on youtube strikes me as a prime example of competent documentation. Good call, nochexxx, on juxtaposing the material from bruno's post with the footage from St. Petersburg. Now I'm almost under the impression it's the same...
