Avira Free Anti-virus screws with Fruity Loops
Performance in Fruity Loops 9 was awful after installing the Oct 2011 update (new version) of Free Avira AV.
Uninstall it, back to normal. Thanks Avira. Get lost.

David Icke on OWS - He's Discovered Fractional Reserve Banking (lol)
He makes out that it takes 'research' to discover fractional reserve banking (FRB). He also seems to blame recession on it, rather than the business cycle.
He says if OWS is to mean anything it must end the ability of private banks to lend money by FRB. [Errr.....you *want* a credit crunch, Dave?]
He repeats the fallacy of there being insufficient money to pay off the debt.
Clearly he's a financial neophyte.
Boom and bust are "manufactured" he says. 'They flood credit, then find an "excuse" to remove the credit from circulation."
Hmmm. Very sophisticated.
He says in a recession the banks take back land and houses, taking "the real wealth"....because they weren't paid back the money they "made from fresh air" and which "never existed, and never will exist".
Funny, how can people buy "real wealth" with "money that doesn't exist"? If people borrow 'phony cash' from the bank for a property mortgage, then how phony is the money? He doesn't mind people borrowing phony money to exchange for "real wealth", he only complains when the bank exercises its contractual right to reclaim the security - suddenly it's "phony money" and a scam. Rubbish.
Don't like it? Don't do it. Stop blaming the banks. If one can buy "real wealth" with this "phony money" then this "phony money" is real wealth too. Duh.
Then he says "some group" are behind banks, government and industry. A handful of people. And they want total control over humanity.......it's called globalisation he says.....yawn. World government that will dictate all major laws. A world bank. A world army.....(apparently he means NATO). Libya he says. Rah rah rah.
"The Euro wasn't supposed to work....." - supposedly evidence of a move to a one-world currency. Eh?
"The EU is a fascist dictatorship......or a communist dictatorship.....whatever you want to call it...."
hahaha. Yeah, call it whatever you like, words don't mean a thing, right?
I can't take anymore.
Dancing Israelis? Bullshit
Iraq - Imperial Dominion, or Not?
We'll see what happens, but if this is correct it undermines the arguments of those of us who claimed the entire thing was an imperial project, that America would never leave, blah blah blah.Good for the Iraqis.
But maybe it only says American policy didn't come to fruition, even though the intent was always to subjugate Iraq? Nevertheless, if this happens it does seriously undermine notions about Iraq being an American outpost and part of a grand Imperial strategy. Yes, they might have intended otherwise, but if so, the fact they fail is even more important.
If America really does leave, and Iraq builds a relatively successful and democratic society then.....maybe in 20 years it will be impossible to conclude other than "it was worth it"? I never thought I'd say it....and I haven't yet.....but.....

Occupy.....St Paul's Cathedral
....and cost it £15,000 a day in donations.
Great.
I am getting sick of seeing OWS described as "anti-capitalist". Look at their demands, they are not anti-capitalist in the least. Their demands even include assertions that stock-markets should be run "properly".
Their most progressive lines are those which appeal to inequality, and the implied need for redistribution. But there's not a jot about how to do so. Ho hum.

Russian Revolutionary Architecture
In the courtyard of London's Royal Academy of Arts stands the 20th century's most avant-garde strand of architectural genetics. The veering red spiral, intersected by a girder jutting through it like a rocket launcher, is a copy of the original model of the Monument to the Third International, designed by Vladimir Tatlin in 1920. Had it been built to its intended scale as the headquarters of the Communist party, it would have dwarfed the Eiffel Tower. In a world awash with "iconic" architecture, nothing comes even close to radiating the raw potency of this truly revolutionary form.
That is why the Royal Academy's new show, Building the Revolution: Soviet Art and Architecture 1915-35, deserves to be stampeded. The word "revolution" has become discredited, and this show thoroughly re-energises its meaning in art and architecture. The key fragments of Russian revolutionary creativity still glow like radium, living on in its remaining art and buildings, and hard-wired into the imaginations of some of the 20th and 21st century's most influential architects.
