Is Kaneda still around there? He was a funny guy.

#3632 The Garden » Europe close to creating ‘budget tsar’ » 757 weeks ago

Europe is moving toward the creation of a “budget tsar” with expanded powers to scrutinise national governments’ finances after the European Commission handed new authority to its top economics official.

Under the new arrangement, rival commissioners would have limited means to challenge the decisions of the commissioner for economics and monetary affairs - a post currently held by Finland’s Olli Rehn - when it comes to ordering member states to rein in spending.

Their ability to challenge Mr Rehn’s decisions to launch disciplinary proceedings against profligate governments, including possible sanctions, would also be curtailed.

Commission officials argue that the new changes are necessary to prevent national governments from exerting pressure on their commissioners, who are supposed to defend the European interest as opposed to the national one.

“We’re basically turning this into the way we deal with mergers and competition policy where you give much more autonomy to the commissioner,” one Commission official explained.

I'm amazed we're even allowed to drive still.

#3637 Re: The Sunset Strip » Michael Jackson Discussion » 757 weeks ago

I'm not really arguing one way or the other. Just saying MJ was a truth teller and they usually end up dead when they become celebrities. You can't really argue against that there was a conscious and consistent campaign against him after Dangerous. In my experience the people capable of doing that are also capable, and motivated, to go that extra mile.

Murray will likely get off with a few months. Not exactly a Hyman Roth mission if the money's good enough, and he's the only link you need.

Point is we don't know about these things since the authorities are always covering it up. But the possibility should always be considered when free spirited people wind up dead. If you start to look around well known people have a lot of "accidents". By doing that, just maybe the truth would come out in time once in a while. Like in the middle ages with Nixon and Watergate.

Michael became marked for destruction when he challenged the establishment with "They Don't Care About Us". Don't know about his death, but since then the media certainly had an agenda to demonize him. It's certainly possible they murdered him though. Not like they haven't before. Heart attacks and cancers are the new magic bullets.

The "freeing" of the slaves is another forgotten takover. Actually, if you read the amendment they didn't free black people, they just made white people equal. Ie. slaves. Black people were already protected by the constitution, people just didn't give a fuck!

Lincoln is great simply for being shot. You don't get shot unless you try to do something good.

That was pretty good. Better than the original. I think I still consider it the best Slash song post gn'r.
