David Icke - Was He Right?

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

this is the first time I’ve heard about the guy but he sure has some points

it’s not anything I haven’t heard before but he as almost everybody has his way of describing things

I liked his effort to tell the people they were controlled by the media by pretending he was God ;)

then when one kid laughed at his son for his dad being a “God” his son answered but your dad is too

that’s not true, you don’t know my dad, the other kid replied

EXACTLY! :)

Religulous

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

the movie is not that interesting as I thought it would be

it mostly deals with USA christianity but touches judaism and islam too

it looks as if they’ve took some of the ideas from Zeitgeist movie

anyway, go and see it and see what you think about it…

Peter Schiff And Ron Paul

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

I’ve been watching some vids on the economic crysis in USA and the only people who IMHO see the problem for what it is are Peter Sciff and Ron Paul

I’m not going to give links just go to youtube and search for them :)

Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

I upgraded few days ago and ran into problems

my wireless card based on atheros chip stopped working
it seems they’ve deliberatly removed madwifi support from wpasupplicant or something so I did two things, I downgraded wpasupplicant to hardy version and compiled/installed madwifi drivers from the project website

another problem that is still unresolved is the graphics
they’ve removed the old good driver, i810 and instead put intel driver for xorg
the intel driver is twice slower
I can’t watch flash movies any more, it’s that slow
and worse, if I hibernate from the X, I get garbled screen on next startup, nothing works
so I’ve found a workaround, I hibernate from text mode ;)

anyway, I noticed kde applications have better looking interface, a new sound manager (pulseaudio), no more gaim (now it’s called pidgin)…

Zeitgeist: Addendum

Monday, November 10th, 2008

this is a continuation of the original Zeitgeist movie

now it talks about the bad things of the monetary system and offers an alternative, a resource based system that would benefit everyone

at start it gives some info about how money is made of thin air
then goes on to explain how the globalization works

in the end it finishes with asking us to awake ourselves, see the system we’re in and change it to the better one, resource based

Biometric Passport

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

if you want to get a passport in Serbia then prepare yourself for problems…

I went yesterday to ask about the papers I need to get them to obtain a passport and it was simple

citizenship and a paper detailing where I was born I got fast and I paid like 15 euros for the taxes
I took a photo of me and paid some for that too

I found out that there are just too many people trying to get a passport these days
in fact there are so many of them that you have to wait A LOT

so the next day, I got up at 7am and was at the police at 8am
when I got there I was number 31 in line
that means 31 people showed up before 8am, some as early as 6am were outside the locked building, waiting to get listed ;)

the list was maintained by the people themselves, the police didn’t handout numbers or did anything
I guessed it would take like a couple of hours before it was my turn to get them the papers I obtained a day ago so I left for home and then, at about noon I got back to find out there were two people in front of me

and I was so happy thinking I will finish this in a reasonable hour or so ;) but then the police computer system broke down
for an hour
and that keeps happening a lot
I guess the computers too have to drink coffee as do the computer operators, so thats why they break ;)

during the whole day a lot of people wanted to get inside the operators office without standing in line or signing up for the list
one time a police officer had to be called since one guy got pi$$ed off and took the list and threw it away

all the time decent people were waiting other police employees were going inside taking envelopes with them so the operators could do their stuff first… talk about corruption
some people say they saw some people handing papers to the operators through the street window… and I’m not surprised to hear that

at one time a mother and a child came and ignored our line and all the people waiting
people can be so selfish but I never expected a mother with a child to behave like that
I mean, what is she going to teach that kid to do in his life
will he bully his school friends, steal, lie…
that kid deserves a decent mother

anyway, I finally finished getting them the papers at like 2.30pm
I have to get back in 30 days and stand in line almost another full day to pick up the passport

I joked with some people saying once I get the passport I’ll use it and won’t come back here soon ;)

the passport is biometric, meaning they took photos of me, fingerprints, my signature on digital medium, probably my eye scan ;) and I expected to get an id on my arm just as the cattle is tagged with burning steel mark
I mean, wtf, why does my passport has to be biometric, why are they treating us that way

most normal citizens oppose having an ID card but no, we need to have biometric ID cards and passports…

Cure For Homerism

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

is there cure for homerism?

I watch and enjoy basketball for a long time

and I always stick for the underdog, especially if he’s my countryman (patriotic) and if he’s maybe right

well I’ve been sticking for Darko Milicic for a long time

but I finally understood that they have a life of their own… yeah, it took me quite a while

but some other people are so blind…

this is the same kind of games as who has better internet connection, who’s dick is the biggest, who had the biggest orgasm, who’s national team beat the crap out of another national team or who’s daddy is the strongest (mine is in case there is any confusion ;) )

well that all is really childish but so are people

and this childish competition makes money

just ask NBA

and other sport associations

and while people measure their ego by watching World Wrestiling Stupidism, dog fights and similar crap some people are counting cash these events bring and selling us “We do care about our community” game

So I ask just one thing… be smart… stop the ego games… do something good for yourself and people around you

even if the people around you don’t appreciate it

you’ll feel better

and be smart!
