Political Compass

Just went you thought I couldn’t be any more of a commie…

I’ve re-assessed my political compass. It used to be:
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64
As of late last year.

Now it’s:
Economic Left/Right: -6.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51

Muahahaa, it’s only a matter of time until I unite the left, and turn Australia into a communist paradise.
Get your political compass here.

EU takes swipe at Microsoft

‘She did not mention Microsoft by name Tuesday, but encouraged computer users to avoid formats that, like many Microsoft products, are based on proprietary standards.’

‘”I know a smart business decision when I see one – choosing open standards is a very smart business decision indeed,”‘

‘EU agencies “must not rely on one vendor” and “must refuse to become locked into a particular technology – jeopardizing maintenance of full control over the information in its possession,” she said.’

Europe leads the way!
Well no, I suppose Cuba does, but the EU is still very good.

Also, my theories on looking at 4chan while studying are now scientifically proven

‘they exhibited improved cognition and creativity after exposure to sexy stimuli.’.

News on 911 & HAARP / China’s Earthquake

USA Military Officers Challenge Official Account of September 11

One quote within the artcle:
“Building 7, was never hit by a plane and even NIST is ashamed to advance a reason for its collapse. And, miracle of miracles, these three buildings just happened to be leased and insured by the same guy who is on tape saying they decided to ‘PULL’ the last one to fall.”

I think that just summarises everything quite nicely?

China’s Earthquake Hrmmmm….

All the various theories & arguments behind it’s true nature are too complex and numerous to summarise, so I shall just link to the main discussion thread here, and some interesting news articles:

Clarification on the true nature of Microsoft

Today was a great day. In my computing lab, all me and my friends did was talk about programming and computer languages for two hours. And we also talked to our awesome tutor, John Shepherd about it.
Best lab so far, I reckon there’s not enough time in our course to just…talk about really cool stuff like that.

But moreover, Matt said the most profound thing, which many have perhaps heard before, but I’ve certainly forgotten it,

“Microsoft is not a software company, it’s a marketing company”.

I could not agree more 8)

Lolwut? I know how to fix every windows problem

For some reason, I googled to find my own blog. How odd? Natural reaction to when I need to find something I guess.

Anyway, it just hit me. We always joke about this, but I’m being super serious.

I can fix any windows problem with a linux install disk! It’s like Stalin said, “No man…no problem”. Well I extend that to computing and say, “No Windows…no problem”.

Excellent :D

Fake Terror Alerts, Tibetan Monks & 2012, More Iran Lies & Private Armies

High-Level Officials Warn of Fake Terror Alerts

I don’t think this should surprise anyone, but just in case – more high ranks from the US intelligence community have come forward to state that the US government manipulates the American public, by using flimsy intelligence to issue serious terror threat alerts, when the polls are bad.

Tibetan Monks and 2012

As you should know, at the end of December 2012 of the Georgian Calendar (ie. the one which modern society uses), the Mayan calendar ends. This goes with the prediction of major changes in our world, or perhaps “the end” of life as we know it.

Now, the Hindu prophesy predicts the very same thing for the very same date – and the amazing thing, that the Hindus and the Mayans did not have any contact with each other! Coincidence? No way!

“””
It is amazing that both calendars began at about the same time over 5,000 years ago and both calendars predict a totally new world and/or golden age after about 5,000 years into their calendars! We are definitely on to something with these Mayan and Hindu 2012 predictions. Historically, this is an amazing fact since these two ancient cultures did not have any contact.

More Lies about Iran

Take a look here. Clearly, the US government is is waging a war of propaganda on Iran, so that when they decide to attack, it seems justified.

Also note,

“””
Military commanders in Baghdad are expected to roll out evidence of that support soon.
“””

Wow, that sure is funny. If they actually HAD any evidence, wouldn’t it make sense to present it BEFORE actually making the claim, and not the other way around?

Blackwater

First of all, I’ll mention that there is a very good documentary called “The Rise of Private Armies” or “Private Armies” or something. I haven’t had time to watch it myself, but I hear it’s good, this I recommend it. No need to buy anything, simply hit it up on Google Videos.

Now, instead of linking and quoting, I’ll let let this thread take care of the job.

My input is, this is very similar to the secret police in George Orwell’s 1984. This should not not be overlooked.

One Final Thing

Un-Natural Earthquake Grid at Nevada, For those whom don’t know, both Area 51 & S-4 are in Nevada, and there used to be a nuclear testing site there (which got shut down due to international nuclear arms control treaties).
