A Party with Pirates.

Party for the Pirates.

On Sunday Germany goes voting. What will they vote for?

France just passed a law that will exclude people who download from the Internet. Sweden passed a law that gives the government the right to monitor in reality all Internet traffic in the country. And many more countries around the world are passing laws that can be used to turn normal people into criminals for sharing information. So the time is right, I believe that there is a use and a need for a party like this. Just like the small environmental parties back in the day. They helped the green movement. Now there is a need for a Pirate Movement.

Information should be free, the Internet should be free. Without freedom of speech we're screwed. So remember to vote. You can also join the Pirate Party in the country you live. Who knows you might one day be a parliamentarian.

But tonight it's time to find another party. One with drinks and music. Have a great weekend, I know I will.

Solar Power

The One True God.

Let there be light and there was light. It's not a coincidence that that is right in the beginning of a certain book. It illustrates how important the light is. The Christians got the idea of the one god from the Jews. The Jews got the idea from Egypt. The place where Ra was the sun and the sun the one god. What are you really praying to in your church?

And what would we do without the sun? Hide in bunkers under the earth? Hiding like rats. In the long run we would not have a chance. We would starve and wither away.

It's good that we're not in that situation. At least not yet. The sun holds so much energy. It is the real reason we exist. And none of the fossil fuels that we use today would be there if it wasn't for her. And even though this planet sucks up every little ray of sunshine it can get, there is still so much to go around.

Without clean energy we will never be able to stay on this planet. The reason for our energy and resource problems is the lack of clean energy.

It's time for all nations on this rock to start building. Use the desert and the hot valley's. Build vast solar parks that stretch as long as the eye can see. That will be a big part of the solution.

The only time that exists is now.

European Election.

Go Dammit!

Today the race begins, England and The Netherlands go to the polls. And the rest of the 27 countries will follow suit.

This is not really a post to say that the EU is good or that we together can do good shit. I don't know if the EU is such a good idea, I mean do we really know what is going on so far from our home? It is a valid question. I wonder who is really checking what they are doing in Brussels.
And that we together can make good things happen, well I know that we can do more if we work together but I also see that the main reason that we have the problems we have is because of the greed. Over the years ultra-right wing morals has blown over Europe and the world, spreading greed. People don't really care about there fellow man.

But I care and there for I just want to say, Go vote! Any one that can vote should go vote. These people in Brussels have move power that we can imagine. Make sure that there are good people in the Parliament. So tell everyone that it's time to vote. Do you have a friend in Europe tell that friend to vote. Do you live in Europe tell everyone to vote. Vote Dammit!!!

Disappearing Civil Liberties Mug

Gone with the heat.

The Bill of right seem to be disappearing and it is. So here's a mug that shows that. When the heat goes up the rights fade.

A funny way of pointing out that what ones was is now slowly disappearing. Sometimes it's a bit scary that rights seen as set in stone now seem not to be worth the paper there written on. And when basic human rights are removed we move towards a place that reminds me of 1984. I like the idea but the design could have bin a bit better.

I hope the right of free speech will survive here on the Internet.

The Pirate Party.

Party for the Pirates.

In June of this year the European union has it's elections. A total of 496 198 605 people in 27 countries will be affected by the outcome. This means that this is just as important as the elections for the senate and congress of the U.S.

Europe is going to the polls. And in Sweden it looks like The Pirate Party is going to get the acquired votes for a chair in the EU-Parliament. This party is a minority party that is based on the idea that information should be free. That downloading should be free.

France just past a law that will exclude people who download from the Internet. Sweden past a law that gives the government the right to monitor in reality all Internet traffic is the country. And many more countries around the world are passing laws that can be used to turn normal people into criminals for sharing information. So the time is right, I believe that there is a use and a need for a party like this. Just like the small environmental party's back in the day. They helped the green movement. Now there is a need for a Pirate Movement.

Because information should be free, the Internet should be free. Without freedom of speech we're screwed. So remember to vote. You can also start your own Pirate Party in the country you live. Who knows you might one day be a parliamentarian in the EU.

Low energy light bulb.

Shine a light.

Could it be better? Stronger, better, cheaper and cooler. Getting these installed is not only good for you but for everybody.

I thought about this little thing the other day. And even if it sound hippie, after changing all my bulbs to low energy ones I feel a lot better. First because it's a good thing to do, second because I know that I'm saving money. Saving money being so in when a so called "financial crisis" is eating up our money.

And just look at this little thing, it look a lot better than the old style ones. A bit like how they would imagine light bulbs in the future in the 70's. Sure they don't fit in every lamp but who cares. Soon all lamps will have adopted the new standard.

We all have to do what we can (the less know big O slogan).

To arms.

To the Barricades.

Tomorrow is the first of May, a holiday for the worker. On this day you don't need to work but you should go out on the streets and demonstrate you views and show you discontent. And for such activities you need a Palestinian scarf. This is not only a fashionable accessorise but also a vital street war necessity. A piece of combat gear with many uses. As the pandemic moves on and spreads the scarf can be used as a mask. As a mask the scarf hides you identity from all watching big brother, if soaked with water it makes it easier to breathe when the teargas comes flying and since your in a big crowd the germs will also have a hard time to get through.

It does not stop there, if you or a fellow fighter gets injured it can be uses as bandage until the medics can get there. And I'm sure that it can be used as a rope to tie thing together.

But in later days this scarf has hit the big fashion outlets and can be bought in all colors. No longer a way of showing solidarity with Palestine or ones political views. So how to wear this scarf. Well, the white with black or white with red can be a nice detail. All depending on what you wear with it. I like the green with black, the military one.

The Best Stuff I See will be back on monday so until then watch out and give the Man hell.
