Who said McDonald’s fries were vegetarian?

They’re small, full of fluid, and need to be constantly fiddled with and looked after in order for them to work. No, I’m not talking about the collective brains of the ANC’s propaganda tool known as the ‘official press corps’, but rather the ongoing maintenance required to run a Zippo. Take a look at some wild tricks available for Zippo owners at Zippo Tricks!.

Gee, it’s not only the Arabs who plant bombs, despite attempts by the mostly co-opted mass media to create that impression – here’s some news about Jewish Settlers caught planting a bomb in Bethlehem, read it at Jewish Settler Bombers.

The biggest story of the decade continues to be ignored by the media – the September 11 attacks. The facts seem to show that not only did the Bush Administration have advance knowledge of the attacks, but since the attacks, Bush and his pals continue to block honest attempts by the FBI to get the truth. Read this interesting article detailing The Story of the Century and the Attempts to Derail It. And to give an idea of the magnitude of this conspiracy, for a huge collection of hard questions that aren’t being asked or answered by any so-called reputable news media – take a slow read through 500 Questions on 911. Just to prove my point, dip into this story about US Department of Defence and the CIA blocking the official 911 investigation from the LA Times.

And to get a glimpse at the reality underneath all the fake media stories about terrorists, read the informative behind-the-scenes article called The Ex-Presidents Club.

So you’re a vegetarian, Cool, me too – but here’s a question – did you know that if you eat McDonald’s chips – you’re eating meat? McDonald’s has been quietly adding a ‘meat seasoning’ to its chips for some time now, allegedly to ‘improve the taste’. This fact has caused uproar and court cases around the world from veggies who were conned by McDonald’s (who state that they’ve never said that their chips were vegetarian) Hmmm.. one more reason to boycott, methinks. Read the story and info at McDonald’s Lies.

Then, in keeping with the general tone this week, for a big collection of assorted angry rants on a wide variety of subjects, browse through the topics on offer (or post your own) at Anger Central.

Seeing as the ANC, NGO’s and what laughingly passes for a police force, have no clue as to the coming chaos, demonstrations and possible bombings about to happen with the upcoming UN Summit in Johannesburg – I thought I’d do my bit to help locals treat the arriving UN dignitaries in the manner they deserve. Go and hone your special UN Summit skills at How To Swear In Foreign Languages!

Gear change: take a browse through a large site dedicated to crashes involving top of the range vehicles. Wrecked Exotics.

Big brother meets the Edwardian Era. How would staying in a house that’s fitted with all the luxuries circa 1905 feel to you? It’s the centre of a new television series that combines reality TV with historical fact – go browse the official pages at The Edwardian Country House.

Then for something rather different, get your box-cutters and turban ready as you browse through a site dedicated to that most advanced of all gastronomic delights – namely, Airline Food!.

Longtime readers of this column will have begun noticing that there’s an ongoing subtext generally, usually along the lines of ‘the world is stranger and more complex than you’re being told. With that in mind, take a look at a story dealing with UFO’s – or rather, how the mainstream media is deliberately ignoring the big story of a number of former government employees who’ve come forward to tell what they know about UFO’s. Go to UFO Disclosure Ignored.

A breaking news science story (April 29) that’s guaranteed to irritate local scientists who don’t keep up with new trends (if you know any researchers, show them this story) Basically put, scientists have discovered that bacteria – even when separated by plastic – are able to ‘pass information’ back and forth. This suggests a whole new structure to the concept of disease, which means there’s a lot of suddenly ignorant scientists and doctors out there. Heh heh. Read the story at Bacteria Passing Info.

Until the next time, if Macdonald’s death squads don’t get me.
