YIHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Just wanted to share with you: I got the great news that Iron Maiden will be at Wacken Open Air this year!!!

Yihaaaa! And we’ve allready got tickets! I am soooo looking forward to Wacken! Still many months to go…

Yes, here I am, back in America, and back to the problem of ”What am I going to drink”. Usually that’s water and tea (also made of water).
Now I am used to get my water from the tap, but early this year I went to Houston, and I could not drink the tap-water because of the nauseous amounts of chlorine, the fumes wafting towards me as soon as I opened a tap.  So, when I looked up what exactly is put  into the water in America I found to my utter amazement that water in America is not only heavily chlorinated, but is still fluorated!!!! Fluoride is a neuro toxin!!!

The upshot of this is that I have to buy bottled water for my entire stay here. You see, Chlorine and especially Fluoride are dangerous poisons and I don’t want to put this into my body.  So I can write looooong posts about how there is no medical evidence for the efficacy of Fluoride as far as tooth decay goes, but there is evidence it will destroy your teeth. I could write about how the Nazi’s already used it (provided by IG-Farben, the same company who provided them with Zyklon-B used for gassing the Jews in the death camps). The Nazis laced the drinking water in the ghettos and concentration camps to control the populations. Because Fluoride does have some significant effects on the human mind besides poisoning the body. It makes you docile, and subservient, and stupid.
Fluoride is a nerve poison. In the most infinitesimal small amounts!!!

“The vital statistics provided by the health authorities of that city to the United States Public Health Service and published in ´Vital Statistics of the United States´, Part II, Table 14, for the year 1945 (the year fluoridation was installed in Grand Rapids) show that 252 persons died of cancer. Four years later, the same sources showed that the deaths in that city from cancer totaled 349. This is an increase of approximately 39 percent in cancer deaths during the first five years of fluoridation in Grand Rapids. It is significant that the records for the five years previous to the adoption of fluoridation showed an actual decrease in the cancer death rate of approximately 6 percent.” Perkins C.E. (1952): “The truth about water fluoridation”; published by the Fluoridation Educational Society, Washington D.C., pp. 32-33

The use of Fluoride is not based on medical science, it is based on lobbying. It started with the Manhattan project, ”The Bomb”.  Fluoride was essential to enrich uranium. As they used it and spilled it, plants, animals and people started dying and victims started lawsuits. Hence the spin-doctoring, the lobbying, and the indoctrination of the public with the wholly invented erroneous notion that ”Fluoride prevents tooth decay ” . Like I said: we in Europe do not fluoride our water and do not have more cavities in our teeth. If you want to prevent tooth decay, you should look at dental hygiene, nutrition, and lots of vitamin C.

And so I refuse to drink American Municipal poisoned water. Neither do I use fluorated toothpaste, or mouthwashes. Nor do I drink soda drinks which are also made using fluorised water. It is true that our bodies contain very minute traces of fluoride, but the Sodium Fluoride used to poison Americans is is industrial waste, it is a deadly poison which is entirely different from the organic calcium-fluoro-phosphate needed by our bodies to built and strengthen our bones and teeth. Organic calcium-fluoro-phosphate, derived from proper foods, is an edible organic salt, insoluble in water and assimilable by the human body. Non-organic sodium fluoride, used in fluoridation of water, is instant poison to the body and fully water-soluble.
Sodium Fluoride is an industrial waste product of the nuclear and aluminium industry.

Putting into the drinking water is also mass-medication. It ridiculous; some people drink more water, and some drink less. People with diabetes drink a lot of water so get a lot more fluoride poison into their systems. And what if you want to opt out? You have to spend a lot of money buying bottled water. And even if you choose to buy bottled water you have to check, because more and more brands are now adding fluoride poison to bottled water as well!

And to cut a very long post short, a few bullet points about Fluoride.

What Fluoride does (just a small selection of facts):

• It makes your teeth brittle
• It has significant effects on your thyroid
• It reduces your IQ by ten or fifteen points
• It weakens your bones
• it leads to arthritis
• It causes bone cancer
• Populations who are exposed to fluorised water show a significant growth in deaths from cancer
• It doubles your chance of getting heart disease
• It makes women infertile
• it causes pulmonary fibrosis
• It causes mental deficits in children, attention deficit, ADHD, and others
• It makes the menses of girls start significantly earlier
• It makes you age much faster
• It is the most effective rat- and insect poison; once they ingest it nothing can safe them
• It causes sexual dysfunction in men
• It has been used by the Nazis, Russians, and Chinese to reduce fertility, intelligence, and create docility in large groups of people
• And it is used by America to get rid of poisonous industrial waste

Do you really want to stay silent and swallow this?

Dr Phyllis Mullenix is a brilliant scientists asked to do research on the effect of fluoride on rats. She was unwilling to waste her time on this because ”fluoride is so safe”. What she found out is that is isn’t safe, the rats became stupid, docile, and basically ”couch-potatoes”. She was ordered not to publish her findings. She did and she lost her job, and even though a brilliant scientist got blacklisted and never got another research grant. All for telling the truth: America is poisoning it’s children and reducing their IQ.

I found this very disturbing, because you see cows really suffering from fluoride poisoning, so maybe you don’t want to watch this

As a lot of my friends have young children I can ony advise to educate yourselves and make up your own mind!!! Read the following material, and watch this series on YouTube:

Have you ever heard of Nicola Tesla?
You should have.

Nicola Tesla has invented the technologies on which our modern world is built. Scientists are still discovering what Tesla has predicted, are still studying his theories and research. His work is still, in many ways, future technology.

Nicola Tesla had an amazing mind, he was a scientist, an engineer, an inventor, a mystic and poet. His mind was too great to be fully appreciated by the people of his time. During his lifetime he patented more than 700 inventions. A list, by no means complete, of the inventions which still power our world today.

1. Tesla Coil & auto ignition system
2. AC induction engine (no carbon brushes)
3. Solar powered engines
4. Transmitting Power without Wires (called WiTriciity in 2007)
5. Seeing by Telephone and wirelessly (TV & Radio)
6. A Means of Employing Electricity as a Fertiliser
7. Fluorescent Lighting & neon lights.
8. Specialized lighting and a precursor to the X-ray machine
9. Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft
10. Terrestrial Stationary Waves
11. Robotics
12. Meters
13. Valvular Conduit
14. Earthquake Machine
15. Magnifying transmitter
16. Laser
17. Death Rays
18. Thermo-Electric Power
19. X-Ray machine
20. Radar
21. Electrotherapeutics and Biotronics
22. Computing Logic Circuits/Remote Control/Communications
23. Bladeless Turbine
24. Solar Tower

Tesla coil from above

Tesla is also the inventor of the Tesla-Coil, without this device none of our electrical apparatusses would function. And yes, dear readers, that includes our laptops!

So you might still think that it was Marconi who invented the principals of radio-transmission, but in fact Tesla had the first patent. The American patentoffice later gave the patent to Marconi and Tesla spend many years fighting this decision.
In december 1901. Marconi established wireless communication  between Britain and Newfoundland, Canada, earning him the Nobel prize in 1909. But much of Marconis work was not original. Many theories and parts to build a radio were inventions by other people. The heart of radio transmission is based upon four tuned circuits for transmitting and recieving. It is Tesla’s original concept, demonstrated in his famous lecture at the Franklin Institute in Philadephia in 1893. The four circuits, used in two pairs, atre still a fundamental part of all radio and television equipment.
In 1943, six months after Tesla’s death, the United States Supreme Court recognised Tesla’s more significant contribution as the inventor of radio technology.

Tesla’s letterhead, showing the the antenna of  Tesla’s “World’s radio station” which he constructed in Long Island in the vicinity of New York. It testifies his farsightedness and ingenuity. His idea was that this station, build in 1900 should by remote wireless control transmit throughout the world not only the news but music and photographs as well. However, that great plan could not be carried out because when it was realised free unmetered energy would also be made available (the tower would also send out free electricity) to everyone Tesla’s funding was terminated and his tower was destroyed.

Yes friends, think about that. This project was destroyed because everybody would get free energy, and Tesla’s partner JP Morgan wanted money. Metered energy for which you could charge people.

And Tesla never got a Nobel prize.
He should have gotten about ten at least.

Tesla dreamed of free power for everybody, he believed that electrical power could be drawn freely from the potential electricity in the area above the magnetosphere. Actually Nasa has now done this using Tesla’s research.

Our AC electrical power is the result of Tesla winning a huge fight with Edison, who wanted electrical power being delivered by DC. Now DC has a much lower voltage and cannot be send over large distances, (more than 2 miles) like AC can. If Edison had won we would need a powerstation every two miles, so really the use of Electricity would never have become widespread.

At Niagra Falls, Tesla was the first to successfully harness the mechanical energy of flowing water. Change it to electrical energy, and distribute it to distant homes and industries. His revolutionary model set the standard for hydroelectric power as we know it to day. Since his childhood, Tesla had dreamed of harnessing the power of the great natural wonder. And in late 1893, his dream became a reality, when Westinghouse was awarded the contract to create the powerhouse. It was the most likely power source for Tesla’s wirelessly powered car….

Think about that…

Tesla was working on X-ray photography at the same time Röntgen was. He send his photographs to Röntgen.

I’ve written this post because my old buddies from my student years have re-instated our internet group, the ”Tesla-Net”.  And I thought it was high time I payed my own tribute to this great man, the architekt of our time.

That’s the name of the big horse and coach expo I went to with The ”Istituto d’Arte Equestre”. The classical dressage institute from Maestro Giorgio Mereu Pez who is my riding instructor. The whole weekend was a good time. I had some paintings, to cheer up the stand, and made drawings, and finished a painting of the maestro himself.

I sold quite a few of my diary paintings, and got some commissions, but unfortunately I invested the proceeds in a very good Champion and Wilton side-saddle….

I’ve got a bit of a writer’s block, besides being very busy, with painting, cleaning, horse and saddles, (I’ve brought the Champion and Wilton side-saddle remember!!!)
Everything’s going swell, and I will be with the Q again soon. And will be stuck in America with lots of time to write

This is a drawing I did last weekend, sorry for the bad quality, I had to photograph it and it was dark, all my photos of the weekend are bad

This post by Achelois, or rather the comments, reminded me of the problems we encounter regarding the word, or concept of ”feminism”. There are nowadays a lot of different interpretations of what it means, and especially there is a lot of shying away from the word itself. Why is that?

It seems to me that here has been a fairly succesful attack on the concept of feminism, with the result that most women who truly are feminists in the original sense, feel constantly compelled to regularly add the comment: ”I am not a feminist”.  Sorry, but all the intelligent women I have met in Blogsphere àre feminists.
Any woman who insists she has a mind of her own, who does not want her intelligence diminished by artificial patriarchal or religious misogynism is a feminist in the true sense of the word.

Feminism stands for women’s rights.
What can be so bad about this that women who also stand for women’s rights have to denounce the suspicion that they too are ”Feminist”?

Let’s recapitulate, feminism  stands for human rights for women.
Such as:

• the right to vote,
• the right to be educated,
• the right of reproduction, both having children, or using contraceptives to avoid having children,
• the right to own property,
• the right to be an individual,
• the right of bodily integrity and autonomy,
• the right to work,
• the right to be protected against violence, abuse, sexual harassment and rape,
• the right of equality to men,
• the right of equal pay for equal work,
• the right to get medical assistance,
• the right to be protected against gender-specific discrimination
• the right to choose religion
• the right to speak out

These rights are still not fully established in what is generally called ”The West” and the rest of the world is way behind. Because ”The West” happen to be those societies which where most succesful towards gaining some of these humanitarian rights for women, people from other societies on the planet like to point out that these basic human rights are not suitable for their cultures or religions and that therefore they do not need to heed them. Moreover, they claim ”feminism” is an evil ”western” influence.
I beg to differ.
These ”feminist” rights are human rights, which apply to any human, any woman and any culture. When ”culture” disagrees with feminism, culture is wrong. When a religion disagrees with women’s rights, religion is wrong.
As the different cultures and religions of the ”West” were wrong when they disregarded the rights of women. As the misogynist cultures and religions of ”The West” had to give up their misogynist ways to the demands for equality and human rights by strong intelligent and organised women, so can the faults of other cultures be amended by women and men if they are strong enough.

And that’s a good thing. Not a bad thing. Feminism is a good thing.

I want to share this video’s with you. Heartrending story of a woman ”Riverbend” in Bagdad, and heartrending but beautiful artwork by Danijel Zezelj. It’s narrated in German, beautifully by Sherin Zayed, but with English subtitles.

Another year has passed, another Barbarian festival. Last night I went with some friends to ”Muziek theater Romein” in Leeuwarden for another ”Barbaars” heavy metal concert. And this time I managed to make some acceptable photos. We were late. We had a nice dinner at M’s, and then drove to the city of Leeuwarden. So we missed the first band, and as one of the other bands didn’t turn up, we saw three bands. And Waw! Were they good!

The first band was my fovorite; Methusalem. Great music, great musicians, and a great singer!
Check them out on mySpace.

The next band was Wizard, also very good!

The last band was Freedom call.
Some of their songs were “Party-Metal” they really got the crowd going!

I had a great time!

Me and the singer of Methusalem.
Or the Singer of Methusalem and me…

I made these paintings.

Read all about them on my Art blog!

I have started a new project, I am writing a diary, only not with the pen, but with paint.
I will post these small paintings, with a short description, every day on my art-blog.

This is 23 oktober

Well, friends it seems that Obama should not have been given the Nobel price for peace, but the Nobel prize for weaseliness selling out our hardwon rights for freedom and free speech.

To my utter amazement the Obama Administration supports the sick and anti-constitutional fascist religious insane Islamic/kolonialist ”Un-resolution to ban religious blasphemy”.
