R.I.P. Don Vito Corleone & Colonel Kurtz

Marlon Brando dies at 80

A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
Some day, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me.
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse


I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A ile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us.

Al Qaida: the end of the European Cease-Fire...

As of Today, the terrorist nutcases declare the ceasefire in Europe "void".
We should brace for new and even more murderous attacks, and the consequences are "entirely our own responsibility"... (claim by the al-Masri Brigades in a Londonistan newsgazette)

Is this related to the wave of attacks on Jews in Antwerp by people of Maghreb origin?

Another Day in Hell - Another Dutroux Arrested?

Earlier this week, police and authorities arrested Mr. Fourniret, who was denounced by his wife for allegedly killing more than 8 people, 6 being children. Of French nationality, the guy selected his victims along the Franco-Belgian border, burying them in different sites. A couple of weeks after the Dutroux trial (convicted of 4 child abductions and murder), this new development turns a different spotlight on the "network" theory/conspiracy.
Fourniret allegedly bought a castle with the war-funds of a French Communist terrorist group called "Action Directe", responsible for some serious attacks in Europe in the 80ies...

Real Travellers - Honest Advice

Le Vatican publie le dossier noir de l'Inquisition

Le document de 783 pages retrace l'histoire de ce chapitre douloureux, qui court du XIIIe au XIXe siècle. L'Inquisition naît de cette traque de l'hérésie qui obsède la chrétienté médiévale. Sous le pape Grégoire IX, en 1233, elle devient institution permanente, sous la forme de tribunaux confiés à des religieux dominicains et franciscains qui siègent dans les couvents et les palais épiscopaux.

Après un "temps de grâce" permettant au suspect d'abjurer, l'aveu est obtenu par la torture. Les condamnations, prononcées lors de cérémonies publiques, comprennent la prison ou le port de croix jaunes sur les vêtements, le pèlerinage obligatoire - dont la longueur est proportionnée à la "faute" -, la flagellation ou la confiscation des biens. L'hérétique qui refuse de se repentir, ou le récidiviste, est condamné à mort, puis livré à la "peine de feu", le bûcher.

Un inquisiteur général est nommé, le célèbre Thomas de Torquemada, prieur du couvent de Ségovie, qui enverra 2 000 personnes à la mort en quinze ans de procès, au rythme de 6 000 par an. Parmi les plus célèbres victimes de l'Inquisition figurent Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), partisan des thèses de Copernic, brûlé à Rome, et Jérôme Savonarole (1452-1498), qui périt sur un bûcher à Florence.

Sous la poussée des idées libérales, les tribunaux de l'Inquisition ont été abolis en Espagne en 1832. Mais, au Vatican, la congrégation de la Sainte Inquisition a siégé jusqu'en... 1908, transformée en Saint-Office, également de sinistre mémoire, avant de devenir la Congrégation pour la doctrine de la foi.

The rich are gettin' richer -> Get your million $ war on!

At the end of 2003, there were about 7,7 Million individuals roaming this planet with one common denominator: each of them was worth 1 Million Dollars in financial assets (not counting their immobilized assets such as houses...): their total worth increased by 7,7% compared to 2002 and together they weighed 28,8 TRILLION dollars. At this rate, their total worth will reach 40 Trillion dollars by the year 2008.

These guys only carry 10% cash, the rest is being invested in all sorts of financial instruments ... and that paid off well, from the first time since the dot-com-crash.

Most of these millionaires live in Europe and the USA.

More surpisingly: there are about 70.000 individuals with assets estimated at (at least) over 30 million dollar each.

It makes me think about an old friend who, staring from his hot tub at the sunset over a splendid Northern Lake, whispered the following words:

Vanuit het telbureau

Ik ben gisterenavond tot tegen 10 uur aan het tellen geweest, een gezellige boel en een leuke oefening in directe democratie, je voelt je (tijdens die paar uren dan toch)verbonden met de honderduizenden anderen in Europa die ook aan het tellen, hertellen, nog eens hertellen zijn.

Een paar opmerkingen voor de vuist

- de vooruitgang van het Blok zal niet te stoppen zijn: bij de volgende gemeenteraadsverkiezingen krijg je een pak zwarte burgemeesters. En bij de volgende Vlaamse verkiezingen wordt het Blok wellicht de grootste partij in Vlaanderen? Ook in Brussel en Europa gaat het Blok vooruit, meer dan vooruit zelfs...

- regeringsvorming: een heel mooie patstelling van jewelste die de traditionele partijen toch maar mooi verdiend hebben na 15 jaar wanbeheer (of zelfs langer). Gisterenavond op TV waren de tussenkomsten van bijzonder laag niveau (met str*nt naar elkaar smijten, de burger nog meer schrik aanjagen. Wat de uitslag in België betreft: PS gaat ontzettend vooruit en Di Rupo (of Di Rupette zoals hij in de Walen wordt genoemd) kan nu pas echt de Vlamingen gaan gijzelen... Het gekonkelfoes zal lelijk om zien zijn, en de burger vaart er slecht bij. "Antwerpse toestanden" - daar zitten we in ons welvarend, "warm" en "bang" Vlaanderen niet echt op te wachten.

- signalen en tekens aan de wand: CD&v + NVA/VL Blok (dus de zogeheten "zwarten") kan voor het eerst ooit eens conservatief gaan besturen ,de staatshervorming voltooien, de paarse miserie van "alles gratis" herstructureren, Dehaene tot Voorzitter van de Commissie brengen, de mensen gerust stellen met een gezonde mix van goed beheer en méér belastingen en vooral de al veel te lang verwachte hervorming van de sociale zekerheid doorvoeren... om nog maar te zwijgen over eindelijk Brussel-Halle-Vilvoorde te splitsen... Hoe onwaarschijnlijk het ook moge klinken: bovenvermelde coalitie is de enige die krediet zou krijgen van de burgers, want procentueel gezien goed en ruim verkozen. Edoch, het zal er nooit van komen...

- Groen haalt haar drempel, maar ik moest meewarig grinniken.... De crypto-communistische alter-mondialisten werden gered door een actie van BV's. Maar iedereen kijkt toch maar mooi weg als Jos GYSELS in zijn BMW X5 aangevlamd komt (gisterenavond voor het hoofdkwartier, op de VRT gezien). Ook een interessante reactie gehoord van de Limburgse Groenen die zich de "vrije groenen" noemen...

- de VLD krijgt op haar kas. Wat had je anders verwacht. Het gezicht van Karel De Gucht stond op onweer, zijn ogen gevuld met tranen. Woest haalde hij uit en hij sloeg om zich heen.

- en Piqué in Brussel zag in de vooruitgang van het Vlaams Blok in Bxl geen bedreiging: oef ze gaan ons niet kunnen saboteren... Jamaar Jamaar, valt er eigenlijk in Bxl iets te saboteren? Het draait daar sowieso al spaak. Verder had Picqué zijn hoop gevestigd, samen met al Brusselaars op een "LABIELE regering" - een lapsus van formaat, nochtans is stabiel in 't Frans bijna homofoon...

- Europa blijkt voor de Europeanen steeds meer de ver-van-mijn-bed show en circustent te zijn. Ik zag een bulderende Staes (die zijn énige Groene zetel behoudt - en dan nog nipt ook), een sipkijkende Nelly Maes (Spirit, ex-Volksunie) die buitengebonjourt werd (ik zat hier 5 jaar en 9 maanden iets (?niks?) te doen, een tevreden "Redder des Vaderlands" Dehaene en een pronkende Annemie Neyts die al pienter zat uit te rekenen dat de 3e VLD zetel wel eens ... naar haar zou gaan. De opkomst voor Europa was in elk geval zeer zeer laag en de resultaten duiden op 1 evolutie: de Europeanen gebruikten hun Europese stem om hun eigen regeringen een opdonder te verkopen.

Als conclusies:

- me dunkt dat we in Vlaanderen naar een schone propere tripartite gaan, die zo steriel zal regeren, ondanks de "mooie", maar vooral brave tussenkomsten van Freya e.a. Kwestie van la Raison d'Etat niet te veel op 't spel te zetten, anders krijgen we binnenkort misschien wel eens federale verkiezingen, en als het Blok daar goed scoort hebben we Di Rupette als Premier - wat eigenlijk feitelijk nog niet zo slecht zou zijn, want dan gaan de Vlamingen hun ogen missschien écht open...

- in Brussel blijft alles "op zijn antwaarps", en Johan Demol verkondigde al: "spijtig, maar de volgende keer zijn we, dankzij de vorderende verloedering, veroverende islamisering, etcetera, écht wel de grootste ... en het zijn de Franstalige Brusselaars die nu en masse voor ons stemmen..."

- en Europa: dat wordt grappig, of treurig. Quote: in het Europees Parlement is het de individuele inzet die telt... en niet die van partijen..." Welaan dan; ik hoop dat de Europese volkstribunen zich goed zullen blijven inzetten: er is immers nog werk aan de winkel, wat zeg ik ...de winkel van politiek bewustzijn bij de Europese burgers staat er nog niet eens.... En ik zal het stemgeheim maar bewaren en niet openbaren wat er op al die ongeldige Europese stembiljetten stond geschreven...

Hopelijk hebben jullie ervan genoten! En hopelijk mogen we de volgende keer allemaal elektronisch stemmen...

In het telbureau waren we er overigens, over de partijgrenzen heen, allemaal van overtuigd dat we BHV moeten gesplitst krijgen. Volgende keer tellen we die franstaligen niet meer... en verklaren we ze ...allemaal ongeldig...

En voorts, ik ben geen "bange" Vlaming - maar een Vlaming, en ik hoop dat de CD&V ook genen bang heeft...

Communication and Intelligence of Parrots

Parrots, and other talking birds, have fascinated mankind since Aristotle. Once thought to be mere mimics, these affable, entertaining and often quite lovable creatures are now known to possess remarkable intellectual abilities. Since 1977, Dr. Irene Pepperberg's studies in Animal Behavior, and Animal-Human communications have provided insight into the capabilities of these animals to talk and to understand.



"What I've tried to explain to parrot owners is that what they have in a cage in their living room is a creature with the sentience of a four- to six-year-old child. I try to convince them that you can't just lock it in a cage for eight hours a day without any kind of interaction."

Bilderberg 2004 meeting: the ultimate conspiracy

50 years after their first meeting the Bilderberg conference members will meet early June in Stresa, Italy.

An elusive club of multi-billionaires, monopolists, bankers, industrialists, royalty and heads of state, the Bilderberg group, chaired by Vicount Davignon, meets once a year to discuss a global agenda of "current affairs" (including oil, Iraq, US upcoming elections, Al Qaida,...). There are no press conferences, and all members are sworn to secrecy.

The press exagerates the "secrecy" and "conspiracy" aspects of these meetings, however it is noteworthy that it's probably the most influential club in the world, ... and membership is of course by invitation only

On the road ... with Bruegel

'On the road with Bruegel' is an artistic project starting in the lively heart of Brussels an ending in the Pajottenland, southwest from the capital. About twenty contemporary artists show their works at eight different locations. This route offers some fine views, all of them being references to masterpieces of Pieter Bruegel the Old.


Zomerparcours voert van centrum Brussel naar Pajottenland
Vijftig vogelsculpturen nodigen uit om de weg van Bruegel te bewandelen: van de Kapellekerk, waar de oude meester begraven ligt, richting Pajottenland, waar hij inspiratie vond voor zijn landschappen. Onderweg brengen hedendaagse kunstenaars een hommage.

The Dutroux Trial: a big "farce"?

Launched in the town of Neufchâteau, the pedophile Dutroux is in trial for the sequestration and abuse and murder of 6 children, facts dating back to the nineties.

Although widely believed to be a part of a network, no testimonies have proven so far that this is more than just 1 manipulator-madman operating on the edge of society.

However, a couple remarks:

- Dutroux was able to operate for almost 20 years, staying low under the radar for his gruesome cirmes. Although arrested and imprisoned for car theft, the searches of his houses never revealed the caves he specially built to detain his victims -> only ni Belgium
- Dutroux made a spectacular escape back in 1998 , only to be caught by a forest warden. Public Ennemy #1 escapes from prison? -> only in Belgium
- during the trial a couple of "faits divers":

* they found the key to handcuffs in a jar of salt
* the door of the van transporting PE1 doesn't close properly
* they found a razor blade in the van...???

Is this all staged, is someone really trying to liberate this guy? Or are we all victims of our imagination?

Just finished Michael Moore's latest "Dude, where is my country".

After the events of 9/11 and 3/11, it appears that the message from the REM song: "It's the end of the world as we know it..." is picking up some momentum.

Check out this timeline of events leading up to 9/11 and the numerous early warnings you can find between the lines. Especially intersting are the following:

- preemptive assassination of Massoud, the Lion of Pashtun
- inside trading on American Stock (especially the 2 airlines,...)
- Israeli's everywhere: Mossad agents on the scene in NY documenting the attacks. 1 very special-forces dude on one of the planes, assassinated before impact.
- the ghost flights of Bin Laden relatives and Saudi Royals in the hours following the strikes
- the USA refusal of a deal proposed by Pakistan to hand over OBL in the weeks after 9/11....

Does it strike you as odd, that 3/11 happened?

And now.... today at 500 AM local time, Israeli gunships fired 3 rockets killing the famous blind and parapleg. Hamas leader... A Gov't sponsored assassination...

Where is this leading?
World War IV for the next 50 years?

Confiance prédictive vs. Confiance normative

Selon Locke, la confiance est le lien de la société (vinculum societatis). Dans le monde économique, nous pouvons dire que pratiquement toute transaction commerciale, et plus encore, toute transaction qui se prolonge dans le temps, contient un élément de confiance. Martin Hollis distingue deux formes de confiance, "prédictive" et "normative", selon que l'on attend ou que l'on s'attend à quelque chose. Par exemple, dans le premier cas, je fais confiance à mon pommier car je prévois qu'il produira des pommes et non des prunes. Dans le second cas, non seulement, je prédis que vous me rendrez le livre que je vous ai prêté mais encore j'ai le droit de recevoir ce livre en retour et vous êtes en faute si vous ne me le rendez pas. Les obligations "normatives" ont donc une saveur morale (tu dois, tu devrais, on attend que tu ...) que n'ont pas les simples prédictions.
Si la confiance basée sur la prédiction "pure" est suffisante pour une simple coordination car le comportement de l'autre est uniquement guidé par la rationalité, la prédiction "normative" détient la clé de l'énigme de la confiance. La première me force à vous faire confiance alors que la seconde me donne le droit à votre confiance.

Mustafa in Court

Read this story from the Reuters Wire: An IMAN convicted for preaching how to hit your disobeying wife... (no comment)

A Spanish court sentenced an imam to 15 months in prison Wednesday for writing a book instructing husbands how to beat their wives without leaving bruises. A lawyer for the Egyptian-born imam, Mohamed Kamal Mustafa, 44, vowed to appeal, telling state radio the ruling was unjust.

The Barcelona court found Mustafa guilty of provoking violence on the basis of gender in his book "Women in Islam," published in 2000. The book recommends that in the case of a "rebellious woman" a husband should attempt "serene dialogue" and if that fails, refuse to sleep in the same bed. If rebellion persists, the woman should be struck in a "symbolic" way and "without excesses," the court order cited the book as saying.

"If one needs to use blows, they should be administered to specific parts of the body like the feet and hands, using a light and thin stick so it will not leave scars or bruising on the body," read an excerpt from the book quoted in the ruling.

In the trial Mustafa argued that much of his advice was based on the Koran, the Muslim holy book.

But the court said today's society was "not the Arabian desert of 14 centuries ago," and ruled that some passages violated the penal code and women's constitutional rights, partly because Mustafa was a prayer leader with influence over people at his mosque near Malaga, on the southern coast.

Spanish media reported that Mustafa would not go to jail because first time offenders in Spain who receive terms of less than 28 months usually have their sentences suspended.

The court also fined Mustafa 2,160 euros ($2,742) and ordered copies of the book to be confiscated, according to the written court order.

The court said parts of the book addressing menstruation, childbirth, makeup and clothing promoted sexual discrimination that was "intolerable and criminally reproachable."

Random thoughts

Ever-Increasing amount of tagging on publicity in Parisian subway system: some guys are really out to search and destroy the marketeers... Every day you see more of it sprawled all over posters, walls and trains. End-of-days type of environment, just picture th flying newspapers, and bang - you're in a remake of 12 Monkeys

Speaking of movies:
check out the following:

- DAS EXPERIMENT: a psyhological experiment, putting 24 people in a toy-jail where they have to impersonate guards and prisoners brings havoc and unleashes unexpected sadism, violence and terror...


Final remark: remember the old days when MTV used to bring you innovative music and programs, Beavis and Butthead in prime time, not interpuncted by zillions of commercials. Nowadays, it's swamped with the informecials and big black bad guys doing chicks, coke, and breaking the law, while pumping away some ghetto-blasting music. It seems the only thing those guys preach is: it is okay to run around in hillarious clothing, with big chains around your neck, lounging at the pool where the female to male ratio is 20/1 (all females are to be scantily clad,...)...

This made us think about putting up a list of

ingredients for successful rap video making


1. Make sure your lead singer is big, black, bald and bad, and with EQ and IQ subzero and no taste (for a female rap video: replace the lead singer with a female species (anything goes) and add some male scantily clad dancers, and of course, the 7002 girlfriends all scantily clad.)
2. At all times, make sure that the screen is filled at least up to 40% with naked flesh (human, brownish and "tanned")
3. Tatoos, man, lotsa tatoes, and gold !!!! bracelets, teeth, nipple rings, toe rings, neck chains, nose piercings (and big rocks, just like jenny from the block)
4. Unwearable, unfashionable clothes that display the complete lack of taste and style of the main charachters and the naked support group - as in: show up in this outfit, and you will never find a job. (and get pulled by cops all over the world)
5. Big HUGE cars (some car manufacturers fear and loathe their stylish cars being included in violent clips, others stimulate it: Rolls Royce, Cadilllac, big huge HumVees; Matrixstyle pickup trucks...)
6. The cash displayed is in dollars (very large coupons)
7. Storyborad All girls hang around the lead singer; all they ever seem to want is go to the master bedroom, get naked (all 7 of them at the same time) and wax his body-builded "frame" (as in: normal muscularistation is never gonna get you the typical bisceps and bull-neck, refer to plastic surgery in Hollywood asap...). The storyliune of the main character is something like this: you betrayed me, I'm now the king of the road and the 'hood, i'm gonna bust you up real good, and enjoy martinis with my girlfriends for the rest of my life.
8. You never ever get to see the "band", you only stare at a succession of close-ups of booty, shaking loads of cellulitis, and the ugly black teeth of the big bald bad black guy with an attitude
9. Get a well-known producer: Emninem or Snoop Dogggggggg (if the latter is not involved in porn-production)
10. Learn how not to spell and choose a "name", preferably from the 'hood.

We admit, hard rock or pop videos and/or ballads can be reduced to same tasteless stuff;
our decision: to stay away from t.v. (period!)

Week van het bos (bos bis boe...)

Ludo Sannen plant volgend jaar 800 hectare bos

- bron De Standaard 6/10/2003

MAASMECHELEN -- Natuurliefhebbers mogen in hun handen wrijven. Zij kunnen binnenkort 100.000 hectare extra bos verkennen.

Enkel gebrek aan bereidheid van de boseigenaars om mee te wandelen in de logica van de Vlaams minister van Leefmilieu, Ludo Sannen (Agalev), kan daar nog een stokje voor steken. Sannen lanceerde gisteren zijn Open Bos Plan tijdens de opening van de vijfentwintigste Week van het Bos. AMAI: gebrek aan bereidheid...


www.vbv.be/weekvanhetbos


Het planten van bossen schiet niet echt op. Minister Sannen lanceert nu een zijspoor om de bestaande bossen beter te beheren. Zijn Open Bos Plan moet het voor privé-eigenaars aantrekkelijk maken om hun domein duurzaam te beheren en open te stellen voor recreanten. Het plan kon te midden van de beuken van domein Heiwijk in Maasmechelen op veel ??? ach zo, en van wie dan, van de verzamelde agaleve-militanten, die zo'n zware klappen kregen bij de vorige verkiezingen....lof rekenen.

Zeventig procent van het Vlaamse bosareaal, of meer dan 100.000 hectare, is in handen van privé-eigenaars. ,,Die krijgen subsidies -- 50 euro per hectare -- als ...en enkel ALS natuurlijkze hun domein toegankelijk maken voor het grote publiek'', legt Sannen uit. (noot: plus de papperasserie, plus het tolereren van ADVIES van pasafgestudeerde groene bio-klungel-ingenieurs, die van achter hun boeken nog nooit een bos van dichtbij gezien hebben...cf. infra

De minister nodigt de eigenaars uit om zich te verenigen in zogenaamde bosgroepen "kolchozes". Die moeten het versnipperde Vlaamse boslandschap aan elkaar rijgen. Daardoor wordt efficiënter bosbeheer mogelijk. De eigenaars kunnen in ruil rekenen op gratis advies van onder meer bio-ingenieurs HOLA!!!!voor het onderhoud van hun stuk(je) bos. Sannen maakt daarvoor, samen met Europa, meer dan 1 miljoen euro (YIEHAA, enkel dus voor die cryptocommunistische groene boseigenaars) vrij. Een rondedansje met Week van het Bos-mascotte Boris de bostrol sloot Sannens imagocampagne gisteren vlekkeloos af. Toch is er weinig reden tot juichen. Voor de eerste keer in meer dan honderd jaar is er minder bos in Vlaanderen. QED!!!

De Afdeling Bos en Groen van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap, mede-initiatiefnemer van de Week van het Bos, beoogde tegen 2004 3.500 hectare extra bos. Sannen noemt dat vooruitzicht nu ,,misschien wat onrealistisch''. ,,Dit jaar kwamen er 280 hectare bos bij'', vertelt Roel Vanhaeren van Bos en Groen. Die povere evolutie zet de doelstelling van het Ruimtelijk Structuurplan op de helling. Het plan voorziet tegen 2007 in tienduizend hectaren nieuw bos.

Sannen geeft nu toe dat dat moeilijk wordt. ,,Het gaat allemaal wat trager dan verwacht. Misschien lukt het tegen 2010. Maar dan moeten we volgend jaar minstens 700 tot 800 hectare winnen.'' De onderhandelingen met grondeigenaars verlopen in een aantal gevallen stroever dan verwacht 't was te pijzen.

Een redenering van mijn voeten

Moet Vlaanderen zich schamen omdat het zo weinig bossen heeft? Hoegenaamd niet. Het kleine Vlaanderen heeft nog altijd veel meer bos dan heel Nederland, heel het Verenigd Koninkrijk en heel Ierland.

- bron: De Standaard 6/10/2003

Thema: week van het bos:

er loopt duidelijk iets mis in ons land/gewest,
men praat het gebrek aan "herbebossingsprojecten" goed door gebrek aan beschikbare landbouwgrond, want de boeren zijn niet van plan hun al beperkte landbouwterritoria aan bosbouwers te verpanden, want anders geraken ze hun streng gereglementeerde mestoverschotten niet meer kwijt...

Anderzijds, wordt de natuur in Vlaanderen overgereglementeerd, met VEN toestanden waar bestaande bossen, meestal in handen van privé-eigenaars die er goed voor zorgen, zomaar opeens gebroodroofd worden, én hun totaal-eigendomsrecht verliezen. Het zal zover komen dat boseigenaars bij de overheid en de zogezegde "natuurgebruikers" (wandelaars, fietsers, crossers, mountainbikers, ruiters, scouts, e.a. of liever... de zwijgende meerderheid half-communistische natuurmisbruikers, gerund door een hoop idiote "groen jongens -ecoterroristen") zullen moeten gaan bedelen om een paar dagen (op voorhand per fax vastgelegd) per jaar alleen in hun bos te mogen rondmijen...

De redenering vandaag de dag:

- overheid: indexeren van alle bossen, en ze dan ontfutselen aan de eigenaar
- overheid: ha, nen bos, direkt een autostrade doortrekken, dan hebben we er 2 (met dank aan Urbanus)
- groene jongens/rakkers/cryptocommunisten: how! privé eigenaars, onteigenen, bos overnemen, er niks mee doen, ... en AFSLUITEN voor iedereen met borden: "natuurgebied".... -verboden toegang voor onbevoegden
- natuurmisbruikers: how! appels ->plukken, noten... -> rapen, paddestoelen: zijn toch van iedereen? honden: mogen OVERAL loslopen, ....
- fietsers, zondagstoeristen: wegwerpen die verpakkingen, sluikstorten aub, wildparkeren, lawaaimaken OVERAL

als ge dan eens een vuilnisopkuisactie organiseert, of een hageplantingsactie.. en ge vraagt vrijwilligers in uw dorp, komt er geen kat opdagen....

De week van het bos:: guerilla voor het bos, een hol discours vol fratsen waar handenvol geld worden aan besteed

alle hervormingen van de overheid ten spijt, is het beschikbare bos in Vlaanderen voor de eerste keer in 100 jaar.... gedaald...
Quod erat demostrandum...
QED

Some questions:

Neo holds the faith of Both worlds?
What is the blindfold for?
What is the role of Persephone & the Merovingian?
Do the Zion Partisans enlist the help of machines to counter the attacks BY the machines?
Is Zion a parallel Matrix?
Is Cypher back?
Agent Smith, as a rogue programme, threatens the established order, and in doing so destroys both the Matrix and Zion?

Is Neo THE One, or the 6th One? Or is he just someone who believes that " a man's got to do, what a man's got to do":
Age quod agis, al de rest zijn vodden?

"Bah..." - uit De Standaard van vandaag

Vaticaan wil mis zonder applaus en meisjes-misdienaars

Om ,,liturgische ontsporingen'' te corrigeren werkt het Vaticaan aan een lijst van nieuwe verbodsbepalingen voor misvieringen. Zo zouden, volgens de voorlopige ontwerpteksten, meisjes niet langer misdienaar mogen worden. Dat meldde gisteren het katholieke Italiaanse maandblad Jesus.


Volgens het blad zeggen conservatieve kringen dat door de meisjes-misdienaars de voedingsbodem voor het rekruteren van priesters ondergraven werd. Ze bespeurden ze ook een eerste aanzet tot het vrouwelijk priesterschap. De lijst van nieuwe gedragsregels suggereert verder een verbod op applaus en dansen tijdens de kerkdiensten. Plus een verbod van lectuur van teksten die niet uit de bijbel komen, zoals onder meer poëtische teksten.

Italiaanse media meenden te weten dat een aantal ontwerpteksten, ter lectuur aangeboden aan een aantal bisschoppen wereldwijd, veeleer negatief werden onthaald. Allicht wordt er nog flink bijgeschaafd voor de definitieve tekst eind dit jaar of begin volgend jaar wordt gepubliceerd.
