Austria: Politics: News analysis


Government collapses COUNTRY BRIEFING FROM THE ECONOMIST INTELLIGENCE UNIT

The vice-chancellor and FPO leader, Susanne Riess-Passer, the finance minister, Karl-Heinz Grasser, and the party's parliamentary speaker, Peter Westenthaler, resigned from their posts on September 8th, following a policy dispute with party members who were backed by the former FPO leader, Jorg Haider.

Wer bastelt mit ?


musik mit geschmack

das instrumentarium des 1. wiener gemüseorchesters besteht ausschliesslich aus gemüse, allenfalls werden zusätzliche (küchen-) geräte wie messer oder mixer eingesetzt. dadurch entsteht ein eigenständiger und völlig neuer klangstil, der mit herkömmlichen musikinstrumenten nicht zu erreichen ist.

The 9/11 $20 Message


September 11, 2001 will be a day that will live forever in infamy. Already, the hindsight machine is turning. How much did the FBI really know about the terrorist plot to crash planes into the World Trade Center? What should they have done about it? Interestingly, I was recently told of a "subliminal message" that perhaps could have hinted at the disaster that was to come. When the twenty dollar bill was redesigned in 1996 (the new bills were issued in 1998), apparently someone had a premonition of what was to come almost exactly a year later. I am not sure exactly what form of "visual embed" this would be, but folded a certain way, the new $20 bill shows images that bear a striking resemblance to the familiar images of the burning Pentagon and the WTC buildings on 9/11. What do you think?
