about.com: "the plane that crashed into the empire state building" (via the cardhouse).
history revisited.
yesterday i watched tv while the cleaned floor was drying (cleaning-up is always a good way to distract myself). two stations showed "saving private ryan" and "platoon". was this just by chance or was it by moral purpose, to deter the retiliation fanatics from war with so-called anti-war movies? another channel broadcast the not less gory voodoo thriller angel heart and i switched through many action movies with a lot of shooting and high "bodycount" (as the lethal poets say). could be that this was and is just the normal tv programme, i am no tv junkie at all (but don't take my word for it). however, to me it appeared as incredible contrast to the grief marathon of the last six days.
peter stettner: "anmerkungen zu dem problem eines antikriegsfilms".
the interview i gave last wednesday is availble as mp3 et. al. at fm4. gosh, just speaking about technical circumstances... but it's edited very nicely.
there is also a pointer to chuck d's weblog: "i was talking to my assistant a couple of months back, and while we were talking about the obvious differences in men and women, i had to give up and say that men couldn't handle the period cycle that women go through. she countered and told me men do have periods... they're called 'wars'".
until now, i only knew some beautiful movies of mohsen makhmalbaf (thanks to viennale film festival). via scripting news, i now found out that he is an ambitious writer and political activist, too: "limbs of no body – world's indifference to the afghan tragedy".
war is a record label. it shouldn't be anything else.
khilafah.com: "a us military intelligence source revealed details of an internal intelligence memo that points to the israeli mossad intelligence service having links to the world trade center and pentagon attacks".
optimistic view: we will watch the united states not bombing afghanistan to ashes.
pessimistic view: we will watch afghanistan being bombed to ashes just as we watched the towers collapsing.
either way we will only watch.
up to now, i heard none of those big world leaders say that one simple word, not even in context: peace.
btw. the alphabetical listing of all translations of the universal declaration of human rights.
has anyone noticed that there are only males talking on tv now? the warlord and the peacefool.
