<p>Religion + 9/11 + the Federal Reserve. Now that&#8217;s enough content to fill a movie. I&#8217;ve always loved conspiracy theories &#8211; that &#8216;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VQ9Fs2fM20">Neo effect</a>&#8216; when you&#8217;re offered the &#8216;insight&#8217; that everything you know is wrong. This video has been around for a while. It is somehow a cleverly mastered, disturbing, facts and guesses, mind-blowing piece of Youtube-reporting which has that annoying effect of making you think &#8216;this might actually be true!&#8217;. In addition, it&#8217;s also won <a href="http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/">some prizes</a> of which I can&#8217;t tell if they&#8217;re worth anything (but they look rather official). Every intelligent being, of course, would doubt the context of such a dubious video appearing on the web but you can&#8217;t help but feel that tiny voice telling you you&#8217;re being fooled by powers you have no knowledge of.</p>
<p>Just because of the name I&#8217;m mentioning <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118883/">this great movie</a> with <a href="http://www.philipcoppens.com/consp_02.jpg">Mel Gibson</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/06/17/iran.elections.hackers/index.html" target="_blank">CNN reports</a> on a webdesigner from London who unknowingly helped taking down some government websites in Iran. His <a href="http://www.pagereboot.com/" target="_blank">website</a> offers a very simple functionality through which you can <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/pagereboot1.jpg" target="_blank">have a website of your choice be refreshed every so many seconds</a>. Protesters in Iran have <a href="http://www.iranian.com/main/node/67772" target="_blank">massively used the service</a> to overheat e.g. <a href="http://djiin.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/061129_ahmadinejad_vlrg_4awidec.jpg" target="_blank">President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad</a>&#8216;s websites. Ryan Kelly at first took down his website after receiving messages that his website was being abused. But in the mean while he has decided to let his service be used in this way and thus choose sides in this political matter which has caused <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fhashemi/sets/72157619758530748/" target="_blank">an outcry for justice all over the world</a>. Another great example of how the Internet keeps on breaching our traditional power patterns. Although few people will be alarmed about the way this service is used right now, it will be interesting to see how it can/will be used in less laudable ways.</p>
