Election time

Copenhagen is pretty far from Washington DC. and the rest of the United States. Still the US election campaign is taking up so much time and space in the Danish media I use - and I don't even watch television anymore. But that's ok, I think, because it's important (even though most Americans don't seem to think so). It's important because US foreign policy has such a huge impact on the lives of everybody else on the planet.
I hope the majority of the Americans that can be bothered to vote will vote for John Kerry. It's not that I believe that he will do much better than George W. Bush, but I think that, at least he can't do any worse.

Super Preis

I just recieved Super Preis - the new cd from K&A (Kirsten Reynolds and Ashley Davies). It's out on Phono Erotic. Part of it is recorded at Komponent in Copenhagen, where I usually spend a lot of time.

Satanists are as good soldiers as anybody

For the first time the British navy has let its first registered satanist onboard, BBC reported today.

A spokesman for the Royal Navy said: "We are an equal opportunities employer and we don't stop anybody from having their own religious values."

Private military companies

A couple of days ago Denmarks Radio Radio1 aired a documentary on private security personel in Iraq. Link (in Danish). In short, it told, that there are about 30.000 private security people in Iraq at the moment. They guard people, building and infrastructure - such as harbours. In March this year four employees of a security company, Blackwater was killed and mutilated by an angry mob in the Iraqi city Faluja. Among Blackwaters recent jobs are - according to BBC - the training of the bodyguards, that protected Paul Bremer (the former US head of occupied Iraq) and providing security for food deliveries in Iraq.
One of the many companies mentioned in the documentary was Vinnell, which I have been doing some research on, but I have never gotten around to write the story that I meant to do. I still have a load of material about the company and its doings, so I guess I should get myself together and do it asap.
I will post some more information about Vinnell and other private military companies (there are many of them) in the future.

K&A Live in Copenhagen

Two weeks ago Kirsten Reynolds and Ashley Davies performed as K&A together with Apeiron, nomadstation and Martin Picton at Komponent in Copenhagen as part of the D.O.R Motion and Time tour. It's always a pleasure to see Kirsten and Ashley.
