[monochrom] patterns
The universe began as an infinitely large area of space filled with a liquid-like substance some have called The Aether. Reality started out being completely static, still, and unchanging in nature, and had no begining or end in both linear time and space. Then, out of no where something happened. A vibration in the Aether arose, and this vibration caused two areas in the substance to change. One area gained density/compression of the base substance, and another area lost some of its density and became less compact. The two areas of displacement became the very first set of polarities to manifeste in existance. The vibration that birthed the polarities was spontaneous, unexpected, and mysterious. The patterns below show how the polarities look. http://www.freewebs.com/cropcirclelanguage/ - -- Pt! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

[monochrom] An Alienation Artist: Kafka and His Critics
The most common complaint among revisionist biographers and doting critics of Franz Kafka is that, in the eighty-odd years since his death, the deification of the writer has reduced his work to the level of the aphorism. If Kafka has not yet found his way onto the walls of every dentist's waiting room, the photograph of his stony countenance and doleful eyes, so frequently invoked as a stand-in for his vision of the world, sometimes seems to be everywhere else, including the cover of novelist Louis Begley's recent book-length biographical essay on Kafka, The Tremendous World I Have Inside My Head. His stories are still read widely--less so his novels--but have in the popular imagination been subsumed by a one-word slogan: Kafkaesque. That grainy likeness is its logo. http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090302/provan/single?rel=nofollowLink -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2009/02/alienation-artist-kafka-and-his-critics.htmmonochrom at 2/19/2009 12:33:00 PM
[monochrom] Blackwater and Friends: No Mercy for Mercenaries
After raking in more than a billion dollars from its contracts in Iraq, Blackwater is finally being forced to leave the country that it has terrorised for so long. But the notorious mercenary firm's departure will likely have more symbolic significance than any real impact on the day-to-day lives of Iraqis. First, only Blackwater as a corporate entity - which just changed its name to Xe in an effort to shake its bad reputation - is being given the boot. Iraqi officials have said that its operatives will be allowed to stay in the country by switching companies, as long as they have clean records. While this sounds reasonable, making that determination will be next to impossible. According to US officials and the contractors themselves, the actual number of shootings in Iraq by private military companies is far higher than is publicly acknowledged and they are rarely reported by the individuals involved. Second, Blackwater never was a lone bad apple. The entire mercenary industry is rotten and needs to be discarded. Consider Dyncorp and Triple Canopy, the two mercenary outfits that will be filling the hole left by Blackwater. In 1999, for example, Dyncorp employees were implicated in a sex ring in Bosnia that involved the trafficking of women and children as young as 12 years old. When whistleblowers came forward to expose these heinous crimes, they were promptly fired. And there is no sign that firm has cleaned up its act in Iraq and Afghanistan. The US state department has repeatedly rebuked Dyncorp for being unprofessional and too aggressive. In one embarrassing incident, a BBC correspondent actually saw a guard from the company slap the Afghan transport minister. http://www.zmag.org/znet/viewArticle/20613Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2009/02/blackwater-and-friends-no-mercy-for.htmmonochrom at 2/19/2009 12:43:00 PM
