Links in Nature

by Eko Prasetyo @ 10:47 PM

A tale of natural friendship : Desert gives life-giving dust to Rainforest. If this conclusion is true, then nature has given us another example of perfect act of balancing.
An arid desert, almost devoid of life, gives a life-giving part of itself to another, life-abundant region. Talking about sharing your excess!!

Smoke Screen

by Eko Prasetyo @ 12:44 PM

This “media reform” is clearly a sign of more paranoia and, in its core, a statement of being a loser. This will be another set of lies erected to enclose other set of lies built to hide the true movements that have been operated by those slaves of sins who call themselves Government of United States of America.

 

Trust me, if we still let this lie goes on, in the end, no human civilizations will withstand.

Matsuri

by Eko Prasetyo @ 9:39 PM

That's Japanese for Festival. Kitaro's best composition is called Matsuri, a festival of sounds. It portrays a harmony of strong-beat drums, alluring windpipes, dancing brasses, and dynamic humanity. Then a question rises: Kitaro's Matsuri, a harmony of almost pure natural sounds, can be enjoyed by everyone on this face of the earth. Then why not all humans can enjoy harmony among themselves?

Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Pride, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth, Envy, and foremost Greed. One man once said: Sins are nothing then act of some people that diminishes the rights of other people.

So, listen to Kitaro's Matsuri and think: Why not The Harmony?

I know artists need to be deviant and all, but this development is showing that european burgeouis artists community has not learnt that insulting Muhammad can have dire effects.

The Departed

by Eko Prasetyo @ 4:11 PM

With this, I hereby declared Mark Wahlberg has joint my pantheon of Top Notch actors together with Willem Dafoe, Steve Buschemy, and Johnny Depp.

Leonardo DiCaprio needs to do a Tim Burton movie before they can join them.

Man, foul-mouthed Dignam is the single most interesting character in the movie. He mercilessly precondition poor Billy Costigan with everything he got till the aspiring cadets gave up his dreams and submit to the foulmouthed sergeant desire. He then blatantly challenged the rising star that is Colin Sullivan to force him to open the undercover agents files which he stubbornly defended and preferred to turn down his badge then hand them. He went on foulmouthing reasons into the cracking Billy Costigan so that the poor agent can continue doing his job nicely. He even put ice on the double-faced Colin Sullivan's guts during the movie turning point event, letting his foulmouth run loose so that the mole can be identified sooner.

And one final act has him put plug in the final hole of series of events of the movie, making his character is the single most questionable character in the movie: is he truly a geniune cop who uses his foulmouth so that no one will use him? Is he a Costello guy pulling strings so that Costello can be killed and he take over? Who gives him the clue of Colin's true nature: himself or the double-pleasuring lady?

Mark Wahlberg. Just give him a movie about gangster and he will make the movie attains its perfect taste.

Death to NGOs

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:03 PM

Praise Putin for making NGO registration an obligation. NGOs are mostly cancers that hinder the growth of a nation by unleashing unhealthy and overhyped issues concerning governmental programs. Many of them are spies. They often say they speak on behalf of the majority, but in similar ways to any political parties, they mostly speak for the one who feed them.

And in any countries where USA is looking closely, NGOs are cheap weapons to slowly disrupt the stability of incumbent governments.

So, Death to (overly hyping and foreign funded) NGOs.

Beer Air

by Eko Prasetyo @ 1:55 PM

Or Kingfisher Air.
Talking about capitalization and catching up on global trend of cheap airlines. Wonder if anyone will get free beer as compliment? Indonesian cheap arlines only give water for inflight consumption for short distance flight

Child Labor

by Eko Prasetyo @ 1:29 PM

I know Bindi Irwin is the child of the honorable Steve Irwin, but isn't this show an exposure of child labor of highest clarity? I mean, everywhere in USA you can find airports which suggest not to use Indonesia's textiles because they use child-labors, but there are commercials and shows and whatnots there that are highly clearly a show of child-labors doing their job.

Well, in this reality cluster (go go Slam of The Next), there are always two sides of a coin...

Religion and Economy

by Eko Prasetyo @ 9:13 PM

It just occured to me that religions and money have been walking along side-by-side. Two of the world's major religons, Christianism and Islam were spread by tradings. Christianity was spread by trading and colonization, while Islam was spread by trading and teaching to commonsfolk. And India has the most religious sects and beliefs that thrives by teaching love and peace and at the same time receiving a lot of donations, the same with religions all over the world.

So, why there are still poor people all around the world that has nothing but God with them in their heart? Is religious prosperity can only be owned by the hypocritic, God-calling capitalists or the pretexting priests?

Money is the source of frictions between religions because no matter how much peace and love they teach, the fear of losing capitals make them unable to give up their beliefs, no matter how old, dysfunctional, and illogical it is. There's alos the inherent arrogance to accept that what they have been believing for their life are wrong and tainted so much with lies and forgeries.

Korean Poker

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:18 AM

If this was a nuclear explosion, it would be a case of a failed explosion

-          Michele Alliot-Marie, French defence minister

 

 

Sceptism over the much-hyped allegedly North Korean nuclear bomb test abound.

 

"Both from a technological as well as a political analysis, you would expect North Korea to build a 10-20 kiloton bomb. The fact that it is smaller than that suggests the test was not very successful," he said.

 

So, will my hunch that North Korean (and USA, Japan, and China) have been over-hyping this “tiny” detonation be confirmed?

 

A one-off test may be a sign it has only limited quantities of weapons-grade plutonium and has some way to go on the design of a nuclear weapon. A second test would answer those doubts, and clear up the uncertainties still lingering from the first.

 

Really? So why not all espionage agents in the world stop plutonium from coming to North Korea? Or Iran? Or, while we’re on it, North America?

 

Nuclear weapons strategy, post-Hiroshima and Nagasaki, are nothing but poker players bluffs.


New York: Plane Magnet

by Eko Prasetyo @ 5:17 AM

Are New York's buildings have become aircraft attracting magnets? What makes this latest aircraft accident not seen as terrorist attack? Will New York aerial space be made an aircraft free zone?

Stay tuned folks, we'll see where the Bush paranoia gank will do regarding aircraft and skyscrapper.

Korea Nuclear Test

by Eko Prasetyo @ 10:49 AM

Well, I can’t shove off the feeling that Korea Nuclear Test is just a hoax to put another nails in the coffin of the dying world’s liberty. I meant, why not the oh so great country of America makes use of its supposed-to-be-great espionage and stop all korea access to atomic things. I mean, it’s a small and poor country, how hard it can be to stop them from acquiring plutonium?

 

With their failure to stop 9/11 and all of bombings in the world, it is clear that American espionage actors are nothing more than economic sabotageurs and bluffers living in illusion de grandieur

Religion : Biggest Money Maker ?

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:48 AM

Well, looking at this reading, something went “BLINK!” on my head. You see, to be rich (or simply to be free from world’s financial problems), or you need to do is preaching about peace and such and talk about it with a taste of religions here and there, gather few followers, and voila, you’re rich, famous, and worshipped.

 

Or you can be labeled as insane person and went to insane asylum and be fed freely for life.

 

Now that’s a twisted use for religions. Kinda bleh fact for me.

Democrazy

by Eko Prasetyo @ 10:22 AM

Is it healthy for mankind when dreams of many can be suppressed by fear for one?

No, it is not. But it is what has been happening today: dreams of many have to be suppressed so that they can serve one. This one was selected by the dreamers in hope that they dream can be fulfilled at last. But no, this one has dream himself, and his dream can make other dreams into nothingness because he has powers. Powers given by those dreams he erased.

 

Is it right? No, it’s wrong.
