all of this
website has been built and is performed on
computers that could be bought cheaply
because of slavery

environmental damage involved in
their making.
to make a difference for a next time and
help reduce the load of violence &
destruction here's a
European initiative started in the
Netherlands.
A free search engine

many other search-engines) - I am

dance does not happen in an empty space, but
in today's conditions, locally and globally.
below is a selection of movements & campaigns
for a more sane existence on this planet,
alternative sources of information and
media-channels which don't get a lot of mainstream
attention yet. there are many, many more, just as
valid or even more valid ...
since the beginning of this
collection in 2007, much of it has been continued on
the links
that Thomas posted under his personal
profile on Facebook.

meanwhile....
Schiphol
contains one of the ugliest aspects of
contemporary Dutch and European culture,
which is a far cry from anything 'humane'
and in fact very comparable to Guantanamo
Bay:
People marked as "illegal migrants"
from all over the world are detained in a
special prison-complex indefinitely in
atrocious, i.e. 'privatised' circumstances
until a Dutch court has decided on their
status, most likely deportation.
There are many such "Collection Centers" all
over Europe, but this is one of the more
openly hostile prison-like complexes.
In the night of 26-27 October 2005 eleven
people died in a fire in one of these prison
complexes. The Dutch goverrment blames a
single person, an inmate, as their
scapegoat.
The Dutch government admnistartion tried to
single-handedly pass a law for the
introduction of "smart meters"
for gas, water, and electricity.
It is very disputable inhowfar such
legislation would be in accordance with the
Human Right to Privacy,
nevermind the extra energy they would cost
to run ...
Energy generated by a user, eg. by Solar
cells,
would NOT have been registered,
even if its surplus is given back to the
net...
UPDATE:
The 1st chamber has vetoed this law
proposal.
JUST A NOTE:
IN THE NETHERLANDS, A LOT OF TRASH IS STILL
BURNED,
IT IS ARRANGED TO BE CHEAPER
THE AIR QUALITY OF THE NETHERLANDS,
PARTICULARLY THE SOUTHERN RANDSTAD
URBAN AREA IS DECLARED ONE OF THE
WORST IN THE EUROPEAN UNION ...
