The Dublin Correspondent

Very first, Mik, thanks for leaving a comment! It’s a sham that we didn’t think about this earlier, but, at least we have several lines for communication! Have put a bit extra work in the blog since I’m a hard line anti-Facebook, so every positive feedback is a craic! About the Norwegian part: sorry, just a bit in lack of time to do the English proper, and you know how it is in December, time isn’t what we have enough of. But thanks for reading, and guess I see you at the next breakfast!

To Rick, who thought that I were Irish; apologies, I’m only living here in Dublin, and do some correspondence back home to Norway, hence, the Dublin Correspondent. Anyway thanks for reading my blog, I have been totally lost in work the recent days so it has been rather limited writing at the blog. Anyway, you are right; at this Emerald Isle it is the Irish who is the Catholics and the Protestants in Ulster who has a Scottish heritage, known as Ulster-Scots (it is 12 US presidents who had their ancestors in what is the North of Ireland today). However, it is some 100.000 Irish in the Republic who are Protestants as well, so the ethnical boundaries between them are not that clear-cut as it may look like. When it comes to the NWO I do find it more like an interesting theory, with, what do you say, remarkable many evil coincidences to the real life. My favourite indicator that something is wrong:

In the wake after the Irish rejected the Lisbon Treaty in the referendum the in July this year it was a lot of discussion between the defeated Pro-Treaty campaign about how it was possible that Sinn Féin and Declan Ganley had managed to defeat the overwhelming Pro-Treaty attitude in the Dáil (SF holds 4 seats out of 166). One of the reasons who was pointed out as the most crucial was that the voters where misinformed(Irish Times 10.10.08) and points out that One of the main reasons for the result was that "The internet was almost exclusively used by No campaigners" and that they’re in need for “the creation of a new communications culture in the commission and the need for "misinformation to be targeted by activating a rebuttal function in the member states and/or directly from Brussels”. I think that’s quite interesting that an EU official, the Vice-President of the Commission, blames the judgments of the people for the failure and want to create a mechanism to dictate, or licensing them self, to hold “the Truth”.

At nearly the same time Marianne Mikko, member of the European Commission on Cultural Affairs presents her ideas of how to stop the pollution of the cyberspace and, surprise, surprise, stop misinformation and ensure the “quality” of the interactive media. I call that I rather suspicious coincidence. I do not trust them, neigther if it is a proposal for registration of the bloggers, de facto us, even if they says it is to secure the property rights. So there you go Rick.

Anyway. I'm alive, just wanted to point that out after my abscense the recent week scince people had posted comments here I want to show them the respect by answer the.
