spirituele guerrilla 







De engtes in de kruik hebben mij al lang in de gaten

Alleen in mijn revolutie
In mijn ommekeer barst ik
Los in de storm des levens
En regen mezelf bij nachte
Over de wereld in trage, hysterische cirkels

Geen gips van licht
Die mijn breuk neurien kan
Zelfs niet de armoedige ochtend
Die de maan klauwend slaat

Geteisterd door de dwang van rustige regels
Die als een blinde drug mijn leven vergiftigen
En in wartaal mijn voetstappen naar nergens bewegen
Landt mijn regen in een helle dromenstad
Waar mijn zen groeit in hongerige
Panden en duistere krochten

Onheilige bodem van gouden daarom
Stoffige poort met erachter een gevleugeld gedacht
Dwarrelend kleed dat uitnodigend lotus gebaart
Leun je leugen op dit roestige schrijven
Drijf je maskers temidden van de een-
Zame hemel en gebruik de oogbal
Van je rechtvaardige stiltes
En plens je vertrouwde
Voeten als veertjes
Op mijn dronken
Ontembare
Water
Lich-
Amen

Onherroepelijk
Regen ik mezelf in
Trage, hysterische cirkels
Verdrink totaal of
Breng de karavaan
Thuis

Nescio: 'Schrijft U over mij maar niks' 






Een groot dichter zijn en dan te vallen. Maar er kwam nooit wat van, want als je een dichtertje bent, dan lopen de mooiste meisjes altijd aan den overkant van de gracht. En zoo werd z'n hele leven één gedicht, wat ook vervelend wordt.

(uit: Nescio, Dichtertje, Nijgh & Van Ditmar, Amsterdam)













1999 



"Song for just another ugly stranger"

I may be weak;
but I'm strong too,
I'm twenty- six
and I'm sick;
I choke
and it ain't no joke
that I'm also sick of you!

Cause you...
You think you're the best
better than the rest,
a Satan, a God,
the biggest..!
you're nothin'
but a noisy ranger

your paintings sucks,
your body smells like shit,
you're drunk
as I am;
I'm twenty-six
and I'm sick...
Dirty old man,
in fact for me
you're just another ugly stranger

1995 



"The soldiers deep within'"

When Time Goes By
And Kills The Pain;
And Time It Surely Will,
We'll Flow Together
Side By Side,
Skin To Skin,
We'll Glide With Pride
To The Soldiers Deep Within;
We'll Make Some Ardent Weather!

Some Turbulence
Who Can Deny
The Energies When We'll Pass By
We'll Tear Through Steel And Leather
With Eyes;
And Be One Between Whomever.

The Skeletons Which We'll Strip
With Nails,
Will Show The Memories
That Remain
Of The Soldiers That We've Been...

Through All The Ages,
All The Stages;
Through All The Pages That We Dial;
Time Goes By And Kills The Pain,
Let's Be Quiet,Enjoy The Rain
And Let's Wait A Little While

(Meet You In Heaven!...On Earth ? )

The mind of the world is a temporary file 





What you see is what you get
All is in your mind: match game set
If you have visions of revolution
Start with your bodily constitution

Death scratches us with it’s claws
The clock melts in it’s gentle jaws
All must come to it’s ferocious smile
United we rock the boat for a while

Revolution will come to you
Nothing more no thing less
If all the things you have to do
Aren’t anymore up to you

Brave is the one who finds one’s grave
Whilst surfing point break on a living wave
Don’t have to swim, don’t have to run
Just, stay cool at the barrel of any gun

"Nobody in this town but me"


Deeper than the deepest sea...?
Nobody in this town but me
Oh yes, and I hear you say by now
That you too
know hurt
and how
you'd seen dark days
and how
you've prayed in vain
and how your hopes seemed
to vanish like snow in the rain...
Don't you realise dear
that you're just another number...
leaving a trace of.... nothing

India 23 mei 2004, 




Tot op vandaag laten de ervaringen van toen me niet los. Zo dacht ik nog net aan Ram, wiens vader verslaafd is aan drugs. Hij is een jongetje van vier dat zich voortdurend verminkte door in zichzelf te bijten en de wonden open te krabben. Hij speelde nooit mee en zat meestal in een hoekje. Niet dat de andere kinderen niet om hem gaven, voor hen was hij gewoon een deel van de groep. Ik heb meerdere keren gezien dat hij geknuffeld werd door een ander kind. Hij werd trouwens beschermd door de oudste van de groep (11 jaar). Slechts uitzonderlijk zag je een glimlach op zijn gezicht. Hij sliep beneden in de eetkamer. En op een van de avonden heb ik hem zien rechtstaan en een autootje nemen om wat te spelen. Man dat was hard om te zien.


Een ding is zeker, ik weet niet hoe het komt, maar ik heb er 7 dagen buiten op de grond geslapen, met voortdurend lawaai om me heen, met een minimum aan eten en privacy en toch verdween de luxe waar ik normaal om geef in het niets.

IGNU 





 

IGNU

 

On top of that if you know me I pronounce you an ignu

Ignu knows nothing of the world

a great ignoramus in factories though he may own or inspire

them or even be production manager

Ignu has knowledge of the angel indeed ignu is angel in comi-

cal form

W.C. Fields Harpo Marx ignus Whitman an ignu

Rimbaud a natural ignu in his boy pants

The ignu may be queer though like not kind ignu blows arch-

     angels for the strange thrill

a gnostic women love him Christ overflowed with trembling

     semen for many a dead aunt

He’s a great cocksman most beautiful girls are worshipped by

     ignu

Hollywood dolls or lone Marys of Idaho long-legged publicity

     women and secret housewives

have known ignu in another lifetime and remember their lover

Husbands also are secretly tender to ignu their buddy

oldtime friendship can do anything cuckold bugger drunk

     trembling and happy

 

 

Ignu lives only once and eternally and knows it

he sleeps in everybody’s bed everyone’s lonesome for ignu

     ignu knew solitude early

So ignu’s a primitive of cock and mind

equally the ignu has written liverish tomes personal meta-

     physics abstract

images that scratch the moon ‘lighningflash-flintspark’ naked

     lunch fried shoes adios king

The shadow of the angel is waving in the opposite direction

dawn of intelligence turns the telephones into strange animals

he attacks the rose garden with his mystical shears snip snip

     snip

Ignu with his wild mop walks by Colosseum weeping

he plucks a clover from Keats’ grave & Shelley’s a blade of

     grass

knew Coleridge they had slow hung-up talks at midnight over

     tables of mahogany in London

 

 

sidestreet rooms in wintertime rain outside fog the cabman

     blows his hand

Charles Dickens is born ignu hears the wail of the babe

Ignu goofs nights under bridges and laughs at battleships

 

 

ignu is a battleship without guns in the North Sea lost O the

     flowerness of the moment

he knows geography he was there before he’ll get out and die

     already

reborn a bearded humming Jew of Arabian mournful jokes

man with a star on his forehead and halo over his cranium

listening to music musing happy at the fall of a leaf in the moon-

     light of immortality

table-hopping most elegant comrade of all most delicate man-

     nered in the Sufi court

he wasn’t even there at all

wearing zodiacal blue sleeves and the long peaked conehat of

a magician

harkening to the silence of a well at midnight under a red star

in the lobby of Rockefeller Center attentive courteous bare-

     eyed enthousiastic with or without pants

he listens to jazz as if he were a Negro afflicted with jewish

     melancholy and white divinity

Ignu’s a natural you can see it when he pays the cabfare

     abstracted

pulling off the money from an impossible saintly roll

or counting his disappearing pennies to give to the strange

     bus-driver whom he admires

Ignu has sought you out he’s the seeker of God

and God breaks down the world for him every ten years

he sees lightening flash in empty daylight when the sky is blue

he hears Blake’s disembodied Voice recite the Sunflower in a

     room in Harlem

No woe on him surrounded by 700 thousand mad scholars

     moths fly out of his sleeve

He wants to die give up go mad break through into Eternity

live on and teach an aged saint or break down to an eyebrow

     clown

All ignus know each other in a moment’s talk and measure

     each other up at once

as lifetime friends romantic winks and giggles across conti-

     nents

sad moment paying the cab goodby and speeding away up-

     town

 

 

One or two ignus in the Pack

one laughing monk in dungarees

one delighted by cracking his eggs in an egg cup

one chews gum to music all night long rock and roll

 

 

one anthropologist cookoo in the Petén Rainforest

one sits in jail all year and bets karmaic racetrack

 

 

one chases girls down East Broadway into the horror movie

 

 

one pulls out withered grapes and rotten onions from his pants

 

 

one has a nannygoat under his bed to amuse visitors plasters

     the wall with his crap

collects scorpions whiskies skies etc. would steal the moon if

     he could find it

That would set fire to America but none of these make ignu

it’s the soul that makes the style the tender firecracker of his

     thought

the amity of letters from strange cities to old friends

and the new radiance of morning on a foreign bed

A comedy of personal being his grubby divinity

Eliot probably an ignu one of the few who’s funny when he

     Eats

William of Paterson a dying American ignu

Burroughs a purest ignu his hearcut is a cream his left finger

Pinkey chopped off for early ignu reasons metaphysical spells

     love spells with psychoanalysts

 

 

 

his very junkhood an accomplishment beyond a milliondollars

 

 

Celine himself an old ignu over prose

I saw him in Paris dirty old gentleman of ratty talk

with longhaired cough three wormy sweaters round his neck

brown mould under historic fingernails

 

pure genius giving his fiving morphine all night to 1400 passengers

     on a sinking ship

‘because they were all getting emotional’

Who’s amazing you is ignu communicate with me

by mail post telegraph phone streets accusation or scratching

     at my window

and send me a true sign I’ll reply special delivery

DEATH IS A LETTER THAT WAS NEVER SENT

 

Knowledge born of stamps words coins pricks jails seasons

     sweet ambition laughing gas

history with a gold halo photographs of the sea painting a

     celestial din in the bright window

one eye in a black cloud

and the lone vulture on a sand plain seen from the window of

     a Turkish bus

It must be a trick. Two diamonds in the hand one Poetry

     one Charity

proves we have dreamed and the long sword of intelligence

over which I constantly stumble like my pants at the age six__

     embarrassed.

KINDERLIEFDE 



Er steken bomen in de geijkte deur
Open dicht artifisiëel licht
Zelfde ritueel elke dag
Gewapend met borsten en blote benen
Vouw je de wereld tot een gekleed gedicht
O! pen die zich tot je vijgenblad richt
Bloed groen uit je tere ad'ren
En bewapen je blinde massagraven tot op de tanden
Er steken bomen in de kisten
Dor en afgeslepen om de broeierige lijken heen
Neem dan je BMW landrover en omarm je broos kind ermee
Ram er op los in de gekelderde wegen van dit verstedelijkte bos.

DOEL WIT 



(Uit de nog onafgewerkte siklus)



Niet alleen de joden
Ook de kristenen
Ook de vrij zinnigen
Evenals de moslims
De hindus
Ook de boeddhisten
Alsook de reeds ingekisten
En de gebetonneerden

Op de brandstapel
In het vage vuur
In het heldere water
In de gaskamer
In de nuklejeire voorkamer
Met een rake mokerslag
Of met geweld
Indien nodig

Blinkt de dageraad
In het oog van de maan
Dag zegt de lange nacht
En op komt de ronde zon
Vierkant tuimelt licht
In de hangende wind
Zingt een bang kind
Zichzelf een weg

Door deze nare wereld
Met vol wassen ogen
Aftastend regen
Een koele zegen
Rollend vangen
De gekuilde wangen
Glinsterende regenbogen

Traan voor traan
Druppel voor druppel
Huilt ze
Het verderf
Van de wereld
Van zich_t
Af

What Is Copyleft? 



Copyleft is a general method for making a program free software and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free software as well.

The simplest way to make a program free is to put it in the public domain, uncopyrighted. This allows people to share the program and their improvements, if they are so minded. But it also allows uncooperative people to convert the program into proprietary software. They can make changes, many or few, and distribute the result as a proprietary product. People who receive the program in that modified form do not have the freedom that the original author gave them; the middleman has stripped it away.

In the GNU project, our aim is to give all users the freedom to redistribute and change GNU software. If middlemen could strip off the freedom, we might have many users, but those users would not have freedom. So instead of putting GNU software in the public domain, we ``copyleft'' it. Copyleft says that anyone who redistributes the software, with or without changes, must pass along the freedom to further copy and change it. Copyleft guarantees that every user has freedom.

Copyleft also provides an incentive for other programmers to add to free software. Important free programs such as the GNU C++ compiler exist only because of this.

Copyleft also helps programmers who want to contribute improvements to free software get permission to do that. These programmers often work for companies or universities that would do almost anything to get more money. A programmer may want to contribute her changes to the community, but her employer may want to turn the changes into a proprietary software product.

When we explain to the employer that it is illegal to distribute the improved version except as free software, the employer usually decides to release it as free software rather than throw it away.

To copyleft a program, we first state that it is copyrighted; then we add distribution terms, which are a legal instrument that gives everyone the rights to use, modify, and redistribute the program's code or any program derived from it but only if the distribution terms are unchanged. Thus, the code and the freedoms become legally inseparable.

Proprietary software developers use copyright to take away the users' freedom; we use copyright to guarantee their freedom. That's why we reverse the name, changing ``copyright'' into ``copyleft.''

US powerless to halt Iraq net images
By Robert Plummer
BBC News Online


Last year's US-led war in Iraq presented a showcase for the Pentagon's superior military technology - but as the occupation drags on, gadgetry is increasingly showing another side of the American armed forces.

When the shocking images depicting the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US troops began to surface, it became clear that many of them were amateur pictures, apparently taken by soldiers using their own private digital cameras.

The internet also played a role in the distribution of the photographs, highlighting the ease with which troops serving in Iraq can now send pictures to friends and relatives back home.

Many of these are quite innocuous, the equivalent of the snaps taken by tourists abroad. But whatever the content, the images are not subject to any kind of military censorship and are transmitted freely back to the US.

In his testimony to congressional committees, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld indicated that the flood of pictures was now beyond the US authorities' control.

"There are a lot more photographs and videos that exist," he said. "If these are released to the public, obviously it is going to make matters worse... I looked at them last night and they are hard to believe."

Bush takes Greenpeace to court 




flash movie


Tue 10 May 2005
UNITED STATES/Miami


Question: What do the following have in common?
A tall blonde
A 55 year old teenage runaway
A top Miami lawyer
A Brazilian legislator
The US Attorney general, John Ashcroft
A former Clinton aide
A death threat
19th century brothels
Oh... and a lot of trees




Answer: Greenpeace

Throughout the 33-year history of Greenpeace the most unexpected people have come together to protect the environment and used non- violent direct action to highlight environmental crimes and injustice.

But this collection is perhaps one of the most extraordinary. What they do in the coming weeks could have significant implications not only for the future of Greenpeace in the United States, but also for civil disobedience and the right to freedom of speech for all in America and even beyond.

Next week, on May 17th, Greenpeace USA will be under threat of being declared a criminal organisation at the behest of the US Attorney General, under an obscure law that has been invoked only twice in its 130 years on the statute books - the last time was more than 100 years ago.

Individual activists have been prosecuted in the past for carrying out action in support of Greenpeace campaigns worldwide - it is not unusual, and those individuals are prepared to take the consequences of their actions.

circles in a marvelous fotolog 



the circle game

After posting the first image, i walked back into the studio and discovered something that somehow, had managed to escape me: i had moved from imagery involving "grids", "windows" and "doors" and have been painting circles for months. The surprise, that the merging of the 2 worlds had been well on it`s way before i was conscious of it, was a powerful confirmation of the goals i had set for myself and reinforced for me one of the most necessary components of creative work: trust in the process. I share this because it always helps me to read something that i already know and because, being able to participate in the experiences of those around you is a necessary component of community.

Open brief

Als mensen die wonen, werken en leven in Antwerpen Noord en samen met individuen en groepen die in deze wijken zeer uiteenlopende initiatieven ontwikkelen en/of eraan deelnemen, maken wij ons ten zeerste ongerust over een aantal recente ontwikkelingen in deze wijken. Ondermeer het gevoerde beleid rond het De Coninckplein baart ons zorgen. Het is een aangenaam pleintje geworden midden in het hart van " l' Anvers Africain ", een mooi voorplein van de nieuwe bibliotheek ook, dat vraagt om leven en invulling. Hier wringt nu net het schoentje. Enerzijds wordt in de pers een vrij negatief beeld opgehangen van het plein, vaak gebaseerd op mededelingen en uitlatingen van politiemensen die verantwoordelijk zijn voor deze wijken ( Cf. Gazet van Antwerpen, De Standaard van 6 mei ) en die het De Conickplein steevast verbinden met criminaliteit en overlast. Anderzijds praten ook officiële en minder officiële stadsgidsen die het plein bezoeken met de hen toegewezen groepen over het hoge criminaliteitsgehalte van het plein, daarbij weinig gehinderd door enige kennis van feiten, sociale achtergronden, gewoonten en gebruiken van de bewoners van de wijk en het plein. Ook in allerlei vormen van het wijkoverleg is de politie steeds aanwezig en worden de situatie en eventuele problemen in de wijk overwegend door een bril van criminaliteit- en overlastbestrijding bekeken. Als kers op de taart de politiebarak : zeer discreet pal voor de bibliotheek geplaatst. Misschien tempert dit het onveiligheidsgevoel voor sommige bezoekers van het plein. Voor haar bewoners en vaste gebruikers is dit een vorm van intimidatie. Daartegen wensen wij met klem te protesteren.

Met hetzelfde discours rond veiligheid en overlast wordt het mensen van - in casu - Afrikaanse origine, actief in de gemeenschappen op en rond het De Conickplein, er vaak ook levend en werkend, verboden om nog een feest te organiseren op het plein. De aanvraag van de voorzitter van een Afrikaanse zelforganisatie om een feest te organiseren op het De Coninckplein op 5 juni, goedgekeurd door de cultuurcel van het district Antwerpen, werd negatief beoordeeld door de politie. Een vertegenwoordiger van een andere
Afrikaanse zelforganisatie kreeg op het wijkoverleg van 28 april in het Permeke gebouw - waar culturen elkaar ontmoeten staat te lezen op de gevel, je moet net boven de politiebarak kijken - te horen dat er geen enkele organisatie nog toelating krijgt om een feest te organiseren op het plein. Dat 'privilege' komt nu exclusief de Zomer van Antwerpen toe met de overigens zeer gesmaakte en gewaardeerde woensdagavondconcertjes tijdens de maand augustus.
Maar mensen die actief zijn, georganiseerd zijn in zelforganisaties en met hun gemeenschap een leven hebben op en rond het plein, wordt dit verboden. Is dit op initiatief van de politie ? Dat kan dit onze ongerustheid over de ontwikkelingen in deze stad en wijken enkel maar voeden. Het ligt niet binnen het takenpakket van de politie om een beleid rond een plein vorm te geven. Is dit een raadsbesluit ? Dan neigt dit naar racisme van overheidswege. En zeker naar de geest van de wet is hier sprake van een schending van burgerlijke vrijheden. Ook hier wensen wij met klem te protesteren en vragen de onmiddellijke intrekking van het adhoc politiereglement/raadsbesluit ? dat - Afrikaanse - mensen en organisaties verbiedt op het plein waar zij wonen, leven en werken, dat zij frequenteren, nog feesten te organiseren.

Tegenover het gevoerde discours en de repressieve beleidspraktijk stellen wij een emancipatorische aanpak voor, mét de mensen die in de wijk en op het plein leven, wonen en werken. Een aanpak voor een levendig plein, waar àl haar bewoners, ongeacht hun sociale situatie en hun afkomst, zich veilig en aanvaard weten. Met bibliotheekbezoekers en -personeel. Met zwarte, blanke, Aziatische en Maghrebijnse horeca uitbaters. Kortom, met alle mensen die de veelzijdige charmes - die het De Conickplein, ondanks alle negativisme erom heen, steeds heeft gehad - hebben gemaakt en weten te smaken en appreciëren.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder 





From Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association, 4th edition, 1994, commonly referred to as DSM-IV.

"An all-pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or in behaviour), need for admiration and a marked lack of empathy which starts at early adulthood and is present in a variety of contexts."
At least 5 of the following should be present to qualify a person as suffering from NPD:
(1) Possesses a grandiose sense of self importance (for example: exaggerates his achievements and his talents, expects his superiority to be recognised without having the commensurate skills or achievements).
(2) Pre-occupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance and beauty or of ideal love.
(3) Believes that he is unique and special and that only high status and special people (or institutions) could understand him (or that it is only with such people and institutions that it is worth his while to be associated with).
(4) Demands excessive and exceptional admiration.
(5) Feels that he is deserving of exceptionally good treatment, automatic obeisance of his (usually unrealistic) expectations.
(6) Exploitative in his interpersonal relationships, uses others to achieve his goals.
(7) Lacks empathy: is disinterested in other people's needs and emotions and does not identify with them.
(8) Envies others or believes that others envy him.
(9) Displays arrogance and haughtiness.

>How do you explain the face of the American soldier, leering over the faceless, naked bodies to a child? How do you explain the sick, twisted minds? How do you explain what is happening to a seven-year-old?<

by riverbend


sean spoke of america, as a whole, losing it's flag...it's pride and meaning...america losing what it stands for due to back handed tactics and political jargon...we do not invade...we liberate...it all makes so much sense to me now...we could not fly the flag because of a word...we could not fly the flag because where our flag goes it brings a trail of war with it...we conquer...we assimilate...we americanize...we outpost and fortify......we do these things and the world sees it...the world bears witness and it testifies...
flying flag=invading force
hidden flag=friendly, helpful neighbor
the american flag does not fly in iraq...

Zero Times Infinity 





The Goal of Zero Times Infinity is experimentation of all forms, with a consideration of all sound creating devices as equally deserving of the title 'musical instrument' and all forms of consciously manipulated sound as valid. Experiments may be focused on chaos, perception, thought control, releasing listeners from thought control, heightened & lowered awareness, among other possibilities.

Zero Times Infinity has over the years gone through a metamorphosis from performance to performance and is always close to the time of self-destruction and reinvention.

Zero in Four Dimensions: 



Cultural, Historical, Mathematical, and Psychological Perspectives


"A delightful site for writers and lovers of words and language. It is all about the number zero, its place in the history, philosophy, and world literatures.

We have heard of calling someone 'a total zero' as an insult, but what does 'zero' really mean? This thoughtful and informative Website from Dr. Hossein Arsham, Wright Distinguished Research Professor of Statistics and Management Science at the University of Baltimore, discusses the history and philosophy of zero.
Items presented in this site include arguments for and against dividing by zero, the ideas of zero as a void and as a number, zero in limits, square roots, and divergent series and floating points. The text is peppered with links to related mathematics, computer science, and history of mathematics sites. The Zero Saga is a good read for mathematicians, college and graduate level students in mathematics, or anyone interested in logic.

A discussion of the mathematical problems associated with the number zero. The purpose of this page is to raise students and teachers awareness of issues with zero and other numbers. Imprecise mathematical thinking is by no means unknown. But, argues Dr. Arsham, we need to think more clearly if we are to keep out of trouble. This site is entertaining and educational, two concepts that need to go together in math education. The Menu has links to quickly bring the viewer to the desirable section. Scrolling through the document is also an option

Presents a historical and cultural views of Zero including detailed account of the Islamic Culture to its major development and its influence into European Culture which enabled scientists to do computations which were not possible with the dominated Roman numbers with serious drawbacks including lack of zero."



Zero Saga

Numbers Rule the Universe.

-- Pythagoras



The introduction of zero into the decimal system in the 13th century was the most significant achievement in the development of a number system, in which calculation with large numbers became feasible. Without the notion of zero, the descriptive and prescriptive modeling processes in commerce, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and industry would have been unthinkable. The lack of such a symbol is one of the serious drawbacks in the Roman numeral system. In addition, the Roman numeral system is difficult to use in any arithmetic operations, such as multiplication. The purpose of this site is to raise students and teachers awareness of issues in working with zero and other numbers. Imprecise mathematical thinking is by no means unknown; however, we need to think more clearly if we are to keep out of confusions.
Professor Hossein Arsham

Zero Saga
Zero is a number, and a concept for "nothing."
"What number will you get if you break 4 into zero equal parts?" The answer to this question is that, it is impossible to break anything including numbers into zero equal parts. Right. Try to break an apple into zero equal parts!
