Dutch right wing PVV party leader Geert Wilders wants to close the Dutch borders to refugees from all Arab countries including Libya. Wilders said that if a civil wars break out, “we must do everything to stop the refugee flow, ” says the PVV leader in an interview with the Dutch paper Spits.

The likelihood that that the refugees are Muslim, according to Wilders has nothing to do with it. “If it had been non-Muslim countries, we would not have coped with that mass either.” When Libyans cross over to Malta or Italy, they need to be collected in special camps.

The American couple Scott and Jean Adam, who have been sailing around the world since 2002 in their sailing yach ‘The Quest’ have been killed by gunfire aboard their yacht, which had been hijacked by Somali Pirates last week.

I have noticed some weird aspects to the story. First of all, they sent four warships to surround the yacht. That seems odd since there’s no way you could stop an good sailing yacht even with 4 war ships, so if ithe number was an attempt to block the ship that would have been fruitless.

Secondly reports say that ‘before the negotiations started gunfire was heard’ and when they went on board the four Americans were found dead and some of the pirates as well.

So what exactly happened here? Did Scott and Jean Adam manage to get hold of some of the pirates weapons? Why would they do so with four war vessels surrounding them? That doesn’t make any sense.

Maybe some pirates started to panic and started shooting, but that doesn’t explain why there are dead pirates as well.

Or what about option three: a fucked up rescue operation? Or option four: a mutiny and fight amongst the pirates? Lots of options on the table here, maybe later on someone can find out what really happened aboard the Yacht the Quest.

I find it incomprehensible that the international community has not been able to come up with an answer to this sort of piracy in years. With advanced technology it must be relatively easy to detect and defuse these guys. They can see the dust in your belly button with their spy satellites so its only a question of a decent sweeping routine combined with some radar-sharks with evolved DNA that fly and bite off the heads of pirates. Its just an idea but you get my drift.

According to a CNN report a law has now been passed in the Gulf of Mexico that makes it illegal for any media or journalist or blogger to come within a visible distance of any oil-cleaning operation. Is this is potent handling Obama was supposed to be all about? Just ban the media so no one sees whats going on? And what a flimsy excuse for this law: ‘the oil operations are supposed to be hindered by the presence of the media’ – yeah, right, and dictators are hindered by the presence of free media as well. Do these people actually have a brain?

Don’t believe this news? It even made the NY Times: See here

“Journalists struggling to document the impact of the oil rig explosion have repeatedly found themselves turned away from public areas affected by the spill, and not only by BP and its contractors, but by local law enforcement, the Coast Guard and government officials.”

The new law states that journalists, media and bloggers could be fined 40.000 dollars and prosecution for a federal offence if they are caught within a certain radius of an oil cleaning operation.

Absurd, utterly absurd. And a very strong signal that the States are still heading the wrong way, in spite of the more friendly Obama appearance. Its just an appearance, unfortunately. To forbid media access to one of the largest ecological disasters that has ever occurred on this planet is the act of either a lunatic or an evil man.

What is going on here? Why cant these people be honest about what is going on? Are the American people simply accepting this sort of censorship? It’s obvious that Obama is not very happy with the whole disaster but banning journalism seems an oddball way of handling the situation.

Sonette Ehlers, an inventor from South Africa where the rape problem is rather imminent has invented the ‘anti rape condom’ which is used like a tampon would be used: its inserted into the vagina and must be worn at all times. So far, so good. If anyone is insane enough to wear such an ugly device 24 hours a day to prevent a possible rape (and I’m as much against rape as anyone, but how can you seriously suggest someone should wear something like this for 15 years in their vagina just to prevent a possibility?) – look at what this actually implies: the woman must suffer for the potential behaviour of men.

In my opinion this is a criminal device, since the definition of a criminal device is that, wrongly used, it can harm innocent people. Who says this condom wont be used by revengeful lovers, by a wife tired of her husband, by idiots, by drunks, etc. etc.? The potential for abuse is huge, and its therefore a device that should be forbidden.

Instead of forcing women to wear unpleasant devices, why not actually try to educate the male part of the population? And mind you i’m no rose coloured spectacles sort of guy: I am talking a Spartan sort of education here, with serious sexual training for males. Lots of the problems comes from wrong education and wrong cultural traditions. Education is the only weapon we have against such inane traditions. Horror equipment like this wont do any good.

Spies? Russian spies in the US? Aren’t spies relics of the Cold war? Are there actually people out there trying to find information you could easily find on the internet? Apparently not. The US arrested 10 people yesterday who are accused of being spies.

Now, two of those spies lived together as a happy couple for years, doing the stuff spies do: normalising. Being as normal as possible. Being as American as possible. Their names? Richard and Cynthia Murphy.

Richard and Cynthia Murphy. That sounds almost like my neighbours. Will they still fit into the court seats after Americanizing for years? And as taking a whole range of psychiatric drugs is considered ‘normal’ nowadays we can safely assume they have been swallowing pills like crazy, just to appear normal. They must have been cheating on each other too, just to prevent standing out from the crowd.

Maybe they are not spies but the real Americans, while all the other ones are the spies. Are they on facebook? Hell yes! You cant normalise without having a facebook profile. Let’s see. Here’s Richard Murphy:

Richard Murphy

He’s kind of handsome, so Cynthia should better watch out. He looks like a young sturdy de Niro.
We also read that Richard Murphy has been renovating homes in the exclusive neighborhoods of Los Angeles for years.

Now where’s Cynthia? Well, here:

Cynthia Murphy

Hmmm. Who is the Cynthia? The left one seems rather ‘Americanized’. Or the right one, who is pretending to have studied and pretends to have an American mom?

This is definitely book material. The long romance between the girl who pretends to have an all american mom and the guy who pretends to be renovating homes in the rich areas of Los Angeles. As if we all dont know people do not renovate their homes there, they simply throw it away and buy a new one. We dont buy it, Russian Richard!

See what I mean? Facebook is the perfect tool for would-be-spies and cheap romantic novel writers.
