The Golem: Israel's Nuclear Arsenal and the Road to Armageddon

Another conspiracy theorist, Michael Collins Piper, has written book where he refers to the Israeli Nuclear arsenal as the Golem of today. One of the original stories say that the Golem is created to protect the jews from their enemies, so yeah, he must have been glad when he got that idea. Piper is noted for his anti-semitic ideas and has also been called a holocaust denier, so of course he's a loony too. A real one this time. Nice book cover though. I read about the book here.

The Golem Spotify Playlist

I'm posting a spotify playlist. Don't know what it's got to do with Golem, but I can at least say it's inspirational, and something I'm listening to right now when I'm making my game. Maybe it's not easy listening, some of it is noisy disted rock, some live recordings and some are electronica. It's a mixture of old alternative and new Pitchfork, Hipster music. It starts of with Major Lazer, Planningtorock, and Peaking lights and goes on with Baroness, White hills and an old liverecording with Joy Division. There is also Ariel Pink's haunted graffity, Edward Sharpe & the magnetic zeros, Micachu & the shapes  (great band names by the way), Caribou and Anna Calvi. Enjoy!

Down syndrome has been invented by people who are too lazy to...

Funny, when I first read it I believed the blogpost was for real. I guess nothing suprises me about the big country in the west, which seems to contain every radical political view and religious believe there is. I should of course have been suspicious when it was written by the alias - Cranky old man. People who actually think like this probably don't have such self-irony.


Cranky old man

"Down syndrome has been invented by people who are too lazy to study, too lazy to work and even too lazy to wipe their own butts. By acting like complete idiots they avoid scrutiny and get passed all checks in our system to receive free care and free money without ever having to do anything to actually deserve all that. Parents who are too lazy to properly raise their children teach their children to behave like drooling idiots so they no longer have to fulfill their parental duties."
"Increased rates of autism is thus a will of God, because He wants to see how good the parents are in guiding their children to Jesus. If you want the test to end or become less intensive, all you can do is to spank your kids diligently."

Landover Baptist Church is a fictional church in the fictional town of Freehold, Iowa. The whole website and the Forum with over 34000 members is a satire of fundamentalist Chritianity in USA.
Cranky old mans blogpost 10 reasons why god is hating Sweden, headed with a danish flag, is also extremely funny.

I wonder though if some of the members of the Forum, like I did, believe it's for real. There are some critical voices in there who has been labeled - Confirmed enemies of god, Banned from landover, Aeternal damnation assured. So I guess I have it coming too.
