I'm still waiting for the report from Alcinous regarding the shot. There are a few possibilities

1) being the shot scheduled for the small hours of a saturday, Alcinous was partying hard (veredict: execution)

2) Alcinous traded xxx sex at Middle Eastern civilian gay pubs, not military ones (veredict: execution)

3) The Chilean crook sold me faultering equipment (veredict: invasion of Argentina, even if the Chilean would applaud to that)

4) Have you heard explosion or seen a mushroom cloud from neighbouring blogs? (veredict: depends if the failure was due to wrong input in the rocket launcher -veredict: execution- or if it was due to faultering equipment in the first place)

5) Radiation is already around here, poisoning, you just took it as last night's psychotropicale fallout.

Well, in any case, yes, we (good ol' Alcinous and myself) may start something like a reverse blog on things you dont care about and opinions you didnt ask for (and supply you with fresh bloghunt stuff ;)
In any case, I just didnt picture ISTM saying anytime soon that Interpol (band) are GODS, nor opening a Yiddish/Nazi German retrospective reconciliation effort or similarly mandatory stuff for a blog in 2008.

We'll keep you posted. Literally.

Alcinous, comencem ja o què?

2008-07-12T15:15:00.000-07:00

Most dear BNS,

We are only some hours short of the ultimatum to expire and you haven't hinted any proposal nor showed the slightest will to discuss, per the terms of my previous notes.

I am quite disappointed, to say the least.

Not the least because you have showed me what I knew already in the first place: appeasement does not work. It is taken as weakness. If you thought my "positive discrimination" previous post was downplaying my determination, that was a terrible mistake. It was only posted as means to show what it could have been should you have opened your blog to our force de frappe.

God, I made this exception with you despite all my hawkish lectures for Adm. Alcinous only for you leaving me high and dry, in a somewhat embarrassing position, before the most promising Adm. Alcinous.

The cautionary tale is "De Jong, stay the course, doesnt matter how much you could possibly appreciate the enemy". I certainly will, as I always did before.

I guess it will change nothing in your stubborn resolution to commit suicide, but, given our past fruitful joint actions, I guess you deserve to know that, when the ultimatum expires tonight at 5:39am GMT, ISTM will receive something.

During these days, I have been able to get shipped to Adm. Alcinous a spare old LGM-118 ("Peacekeeper") ballistic missile from some Chilean crook. In turn, for its warhead Adm. Alcinous has been able to get a ***dirty bomb***
(I will certainly be proposing you, Admiral, for a Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse. You are welcome) following a strict work protocole at selected Middle East gay pubs for high rank military (so did you finally get it in Damascus, Admiral?).

So, yes, by 5:39am GMT tonight the missile will impact your blog, temptatively at the Che Guevara, left shoulder, point, (won't be necessarily impacting right there, nor 5:39 sharp, since these "Peacekeeper" class is pretty old and has been ill-maintained: please allow a couple of minutes and/or inches of margin and please dont use it as a excuse to bring the whole thing to any given ill-fated UN sponsored International Court if you recieve it, say, by 5:37am or right in the hat, or something).

The dirty bomb has been estimated at a modest half a kiloton yield, but the subsequent air burst is likely to be able to collapse the whole blog. However, we can't rule out that these damn Syrian arm traffickers (or was he Lebanese, Alcinous?) having deceived us; if tha was the case, the explosive yield could well end up being half of the estimated. But still surely exceeding carrying capacity at your blog, nearly Armaggedonian in ISTM terms, or so I think.

In any case, neither Adm. Alcinous nor myself will be daring around here your blog to the fallout. So, starting by tomorrow, you will have to survive (I assume that you will make it: that is why I am telling you in advance) on a limited number of freaky mutant (out of radiation) Marxist creatures or, even worse, the multiculturalist love&peace&antiamericanism breed.

As a contingency plan, due to your staunch refusal to cooperate and open this blog to alien influence, I am instructing hereby Adm. Alcinous to set a new blog. This will outrank very soon ISTM on opinions you dont ask for and things you dont care about.

We will be hailing from there via Radio Free Europe, just in case you change your mind in the future and decide to join us.

I didnt expect it to be this way, but you didnt help that much either.

It was my pleasure.

Best regards.

2008-07-11T10:59:00.000-07:00

If I am reading you ok, all we need is a legal frame ensuring that everyone has the same chances. In other words, your view of multiculturalism is a liberal one, same laws for everybody (so that IS the French model, dude!) i.e., you are NOT a multiculturalist as we know them, and I feel fine.

Hopefully, as a corolary, we also agree in that so-called "positive discrimination" is a dangerous hemorrhagic fever which got out of control at the laboratory of any given lefty University with poor biosafety practices and unscrupulous marxist professorat.

Fortunatelly this epidemic seems to be reduced to more manageable terms in its American original hotbed. Reversely, it seems to be moving to more benign biotopes, and so it is now striking hard in Europe, particularly in backwards socialdemocratic countries (namely Spain) where it has become very virulent, possibly endemic, in areas like Catalonia or the Basque Country under its regional nationalist form.

The current deep economic crisis at European markets should be enough to remove from this continent the excess of sucrose and political polysaccharide feeding this virus. That goes for everywhere except, of course, those areas in Spain with enough sugar multiculturalist content to support this virus.

Mr. Namedsue, the clock is ticking...tick, tick...boom?

2008-07-11T01:15:00.000-07:00

Re multiculturalism, I'm an old school control the means of production kind of guy, so I don't think it's the governrment's job to fund, get involved in cultural matters.

What I want is that discrimination on the basis of race (access to jobs, housing, services) is illegal. After that we don't tell anyone what language to speak, what cultural practices to follow etc.. With the important proviso that the law applies equally to everyone.

That's the basis of how multiculturalism should work. Unfortunately it is not strong enough in stamping down on discrimination, or on applying the law equally to all citizens (both penalising and letting off minority groups, seemingly dependent on political expediency)

2008-07-10T16:07:00.000-07:00

to: Adm. Alcinous

Alcinous, please tone down your language when addressing BNS at this point: we could be at the break-even point, and, while we're waiting for a formal offer from his side, slightly abusive language won't help.
This is not an order, since I am actually asking you "please". But I hope you take it into consideration.

[However, dude: if you are trying to out-hawk me in order to increase your appeal in the ultraconservative lot, just be careful with what you are doing: I can see you coming.]

To: Presidente BNS.

As you see, Alcinous is totally subdued by a seasonal Sturm und Drang mode (sometimes it happens to him, especially if he's been interrupted right in the middle of a beauty salon session).
As I said, I won't be able to hold him forever now that he is brimming with bluff and ardour.

On the other side, I'm sure you understand that I can't afford myself to sound doveish, otherwise my reputation will certainly suffer and Alcinous could well be aiming to outrank me in the end.

In other words, I am still waiting for your offer. Via email is fine, but, if you want to stage one of those "participatory democracy" shams here in the open air, that is ok, too, I guess.

As a means to ease the way, let me draw a sketch for you.

A revamped ISTM republic (I can't guarantee that the name won't end up being discarded, though) could have The Marxist Corner, where you could meet along your kin (I dont expect it to be a very lively place anyway) of communist venal psychic amputees, to smoke whatever you see fit and stuff. Neither I nor Alcinous would break into the place with inflammatory wording or waving guns aggressively.

Then we could have Goebbels Caffe, where you could join Alcinous and myself for the occasional coffee under a pale sun and discuss my military industrial illusion of democracy project. Air conditioning would be kept at 21º all year long.

Regenbogenkrieger Sushi Bar would be run by Alcinous, with the latest fatty tuna cebiche house specialities.

Cartesian Plaza would be in the stiff part of town, where la bête and other french speaking folks would amicably depart in their black&white horizontal stripes pullovers on how to call a new strike or flirt with any given gal, always keeping their noses up.

I would run the National Front Disco Records, where I could even DJ for you my friends abrassive tunes like "Swastika Eyes" (look here how hard Bobby Gillespie tries to be exactly like De Jong, even stealing my own words

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eFOJ1X5EeU&feature=related

by the way..."but let's kick off with a bit of frenzy" how SAD is that intro for this song from a guy looking like Jools Holland?)

We could all gather and stroll down Unter den Linden boulevard to befriend and share the latest events regarding our zoophilia quirks. The city state would compliant with Kyoto, and so it would be all pedestrian, to counter the emissions of our air conditioning machines working full throttle all summer long.

To reassure you on the beneficial qualities of this project, I can advance that Argentinean males would be harassed, mobbed and finally bludgeoned to death in order to enforce the STRICT prohibition of this ecologically unsustainable pest, since I expect few girls to be around and we need them all.

Well, BNS, you are still on time, no rush. Take your time. Hurry up. The choice is yours. Don't be late.

2008-07-10T12:29:00.000-07:00

Oh, BNS, today must be your lucky day –I’ve never seen De Jong showing mercy with a latter day Marxist, let alone someone wearing a notorious Berlin 1984 aesthetics (up to you to decide which side of the Wall you want to be in).

He must have felt, like Cyrus, a bit crumbly at the sight of so many beautiful youth about to shed their blood as to give the order of attack, and consequently he spared you.

Today.

Let’s see with which officialship you pay him back tomorrow.

Thus, while our Obersturmbannführer engages in diplomatic talks to form a national unity cabinet with your PSUCK outfit, it is still my duty in my quality as interim Generalissimo to remind you and your government that Ausnahmezustand persists in the United States of Ishotthemosso for as long as you don’t provide a recipe or publicly declare the content of your fridge and freezer to this military authority.

Indeed, that would clear your red fashionista reputation after St Etienne’s thinspo, Can Masdéu’s romanzas (“te sentirás limpia por dentro”) and your pechopollo – panxeta phenotype.

By the way, Carmen Consoli is great stuff -it reminded me a bit of The Dø's 'A Mouthful'. Welldone.

Thank you (will be patroling around),

Adm. Alcinous //+++//

2008-07-10T10:34:00.000-07:00

BNS,

Now I AM worrying about the sound quality of your (ill-fated in the first place anyway) provisos.

how low is the threshold of you "minimum possible number of cultural demands", is it ZERO?

and how high is the standard to "ensure they are being treated equally"? does it include public funding for obscure "cultural associations" which we all know what they are all about? shouldnt the Saudis be the only ones funding that?

I am really concerned now if you are not the sound marxist you are supposed to be, one who dismisses polisexuality, "gender issues" (¿?) or Die Grüne stuff as decadent upper-bourgeoisie chatter but focuses on basic class struggle and/or ownership of the production means. A good communist who doesnt have the word "humanitarian" in his dictionary. A good communist who enforces the French way of "everybody bow now to the tricolore/red f(l)ag" instead of paving the way for the crony NGO business. A good communist who gets a hard on at the sight of a epilated curvy GIRL and doesnt give a fuck about, say, pet "rights".

If my own and Alcinous's abrassive, relentless, force de frappe is cornering you to the point of you resorting to multiculturalist crap, I -despite being on the winning side- call hereby a unilateral ceasefire

(Adm. Alcinous, retreat all your positions for the next 48 hrs.)

I just couldnt stand losing you to the grass-smoke surrounded easy rocking chair of flock multiculturalism just because I pushed too far.

You are better than that. Please, say you are not a bongo banger, too. Not you.

If you happen to were in the end, it would be Admiral Alcinous suffering my wild moods at the dinner table.

We all three deserve better.

2008-07-10T04:39:00.000-07:00

Yeah, welcome la bête.

Nem con, and under martial law, the poll is approved.

BTW, Boynamedsue, I was wondering how much do you pay (rent/mortgage) for your one-roomie (neighbourhood/total area/fixtures/amenities)?

I had been saving namely with the idea -social pressure, you know- of getting a decent familiar dwelling (and get tax exemption thanks to the housing account), but given my scant success with girls up to now, I believe I'm gonna forget about the whole family thing, get a luxury studio with hydromassage and parquet furnished with Bang & Olufsen amenities for **myself** and fuck respectable society.

I guess that'd be the most intelligent option.

De Jong: I won't be storming the Presidential Palace without a written order -what have you taken me for?

2008-07-10T01:58:00.000-07:00

Oh my! -did El Presidente write “take the economy out of the hands of the rich” here? I think I may have heard it before in, say, some tub-thumping speech by Joan Saura about ‘als pudarosus’.

Indeed -and while I wait in the hall of the Presidential Palace with my gunned crew De Jong’s precise orders- you’d do well to review your statement before some Standard & Poor’s intelligence clerk read it, for no one wants to invest in a country kidding with cash, chap.

Don’t you remember the outcome of the last niceties by socialdemocrats in this sense: Mr Guerra, not quite an example of political wisdom, stating in a meeting that the Spanish government would issue a law against writedowns; Mr Steinbrück branding ‘locust’ the financial markets; or more recently Mr Tontolaceja threatening Mr Trichet to ponder his words, before being severely scolded by Frau Kanzler in person?

Apparently you’ve been overexposed to all the current calls by Tontolaceja in his personal El Telediario to unite against those ‘immune’ to the crisis and giving more (reassuring?) calls in a quavering voice to keep social expenditure high, instead of proposing sound immigration restrictions, adjustment programs and budget retrenchment.

Altogether, it all sounds just like more of the old trite good-for-nothin’ Marxist scruffy talk leading to chaos.

Instead, European policy outside the happy chappy kingdom is clear about streamlining expenditure and controlling inflation through a close monitoring of the monetary overhang, namely after lots of cheap money have been flooding the markets for years.

Mr Tontolaceja, very much like Boynamedsue, proposes instead to blame the rich and int’l Jewry, eat maquerels instead of tourbot, steak instead of tenderloin, and white yoghurts instead of cuajada, while smoking the same spliffs and sniffing the same coke with his pals Mr Chavez and Mr Ahmadinejad in some La Kinky Beat concert in overcrowded BCN and shouting drunk "take the economy out of the hands of the rich".

De Jong, please hurry up or there’ll be a bloodbath here -my force de frappe is getting as trigger-happy as it gets.

If multiculturalism is merely making the minimum possible number of cultural demands on immigrants, while enseuring they are treated equally, I think it works just fine.

The alternative, the French system of "all bow before the state, now you are brothers and we will cease to keep any kind of records capable of saying whether you are being discriminated against" does not work so well.

But in general, you are right about the social sciences, the scientific method is just not right for studying human behaviour, and to be fair, my fellow marxists are amongst the worst offenders in this regard.

hi cat'scream: The soution is to take the economy out of the hands of the rich and put it under democratic control. One man one vote, not one Euro one vote. The process might not be a lot of fun, but we'll all feel better afterwards

2008-07-09T11:19:00.000-07:00

BNS, while I wait for Alcinous's Rainbow Warrior panzerdivisionen, I guess I can allow you one graceful post while you are still El Presidente.

[I also want to be nice to you while, admitedly, I am biting my nails as Alcinous seems to be taking forever to appear in the horizon with his much needed force de frappe to help me with my increasingly uncertain pronunciamiento]

Economists learnt the hard way by means of the dotcom burst that their talk of abolished economic cycles was nonsense. However, it only took them a few years to be back in the road with their rosy unstoppable growth expectations. You did very well in covering your druggy ass when you noticed economists back in 2003 talking wishful thinking like if they were mere multiculturalists or something.

Still, some economic disciplines do work well with "pure mathematics" such as in the stock exchange and similarly harsh terrains. With kilometric logarythms the machine retrieves the spare change in other company's pockets, to general applause and lavish bonuses on the table of whoever the Harvard Asian graduate who mastered the logarythm in the first place.

But, other than that, I agree with you in that so-called Social Sciences are steaming crap. They have been so ever since Marxist-Narcissists started their chatter on so-called scientific socialism.

So, up to here, we are fine. The consequences you inferred from your previous post are another story.

Capitalism, to Narcissist-Leninist dismay, has proven its resilience to recede, let alone die, no matter how deep the hole it may find itself.

As I said back then, I'd rather expect the liberal tide reversed back to increased protectionism, more proto-De Jongs here and there, immigrants deported and diminished funding for, say, the public studies covering the Catalan language sociolects rather than an explosion of red f(l)ags or the advent of that master contradiction in terminis "social property".
