Heiko Lassek (1957-2011)
A surprise to all, passed away on 28.12.2011 Heiko Lassek. The day before yesterday's funeral was held in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
I could not believe the sad news at first barely. For the physician, scientist and author who himself to the continuation of the research of Wilhelm Reich , had prescribed for others in the field of body psychotherapy and to questions of cancer, have been used to Eva Reich, even as the official successor of her father was reached, just the age of 54 years.
Heiko was a brother to me in spirit and heart, although we met only a few times in life. However, our encounters were always marked by great intensity and lively exchange. Heiko gave one the feeling that he is genuinely committed to the other person, and whose life projects interested. of this entry »

Necessity is the mother of invention, even recently, the federal government. Because of the emergency nurses we adopted last Monday summarily and with little fanfare a law change that expanded the powers of the authorities or shifted. For example, police officers are to engage with immediate effect nursing homes under the armpits.
A photojournalist get these shots immediately after entry into force of the amendment. They show motivated officers on duty, as they promote a friendly older gentleman, this time without pressure support and even shoot photos of him. The police finally friend and helper!
But wait, something is wrong. No one keeps the grandpa "Against Stuttgart 21" sticker in his hand? And what is the title of "pensioners against S21-demo"? of this entry »
Second June 2011 Late last year he had considered it, but now he is getting serious: A few weeks ago , the Dalai Lama from his Indian asylum, that he resigns from his position as political leader of Tibet. His successor in that office shall be elected to office, it said. His position as spiritual leader while he was keeping.
A clever, especially a long overdue step. It is exactly this Vereininigung two offices in his person or the resulting confusion, who was speaking to his people, for now, the secular or the religious leader, it forbade his people to oppose him. Because its Buddhist leader had been to follow unconditionally, but not its political, it said the former German translator of the Damai Lama, the Buddhist Helmut Gassner, zeitgeist against them in an interview . read more of this entry »
19th May 2011 At the beginning of the year I was by Andreas Bleeck (on behalf of the party of the Violet, which I'm incidentally not a member - I am in no party at all and I will come never in one, which I alone demanded the journalistic neutrality) interviewed where there is a concern to portray the publisher of the so-called cultural and creative media landscape and their motives. The interview was now on the website of the "Violet" published - as an audio recording as well as a transcript of the same.
When asked I was zeitgeist magazine of my journalistic concerns the origins and of course the current contents of (the incidentally do with the "Zeitgeist Film" or initiated by the movie "Zeitgeist movement" to do has. read more of this entry »
21st March 2011 Lobbying that a manifest evil in our society is, will today deny nobody better. Many networks and cliques make behind the scenes with the politics of the day - with the motto: one hand washes the other. In Berlin alone, over 5,000 lobbyists do their mischief.
Posturing, misinformation, unfair collusion, bribery, nepotism, subtle influence and votes on bills, before division ... in bidding - seems endless list of influences and misdemeanors of which the worthy average citizen mitbekam nothing long. Or could not imagine / wanted, as unscrupulous politicians and business leaders are able to act. Many are also privy to, and remain silent for fear of cowardice or because they benefit themselves.

16th February 2011 Our Lord of Defense, which is one of those. Not only that, he just did an article from the FAZ introduction to his thesis. No, he "forgot" even to name the name of the author and source. And in 2006, where he had been active in the middle of political business. What are we to make of it?
From the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, he should have taken something and thereby violates copyrights, know what the Swiss at once humiliating and exploiting the baron demand an apology.
Sure, it was never as easy as in the Internet era, to steal texts. But it was never so easy, dear Mr. zu Guttenberg, to check whether a text has been stolen!
Is this the end of his political career? read more of this entry »
9th January 2011 Wikileaks to be divided. Is the unveiling of the platform at the service of good or evil, ask now is not a few. Conflicting reports also polarize. As it says on the one hand, thanks to Wikileaks there is no censorship in Spain , then we read the same time, precisely because of the Wikileaks is censorship in Hungary was built. Yes, what is it now?
I know Wikileaks has been a few years, ie since the beginning. Early on there was all sorts of Explosive published, such as internal documents of Scientology, Internet block lists or records, the corruption scandals brought to light. At that time hardly a cock crowed after that, you see sometimes on the court actions brought by the Scientologists.
The media began only fire when the secret recordings of helicopter use, which liquidated the U.S. military, along with numerous Afghan civilians including a Reuters employees around the globe went and shook the man. Wikileaks was instantly on everyone's lips. Until that time, the operator of the whistleblower site had remained anonymous.
But then a certain Julian Assange spoke up, posed as chief of Wikileaks, elsewhere as a speaker. read more of this entry »
8th November 2010 Today overtook me the sad news that the estimate of my Barbel Mohr is no longer with us. She died on 29 October 2010 and closed too early at the age of 46 years.
I have been personally acquainted Bärbel, not very good, unfortunately, but our paths crossed again and again: When she still publishes the "solar wind", was published between 1995 and 2000, or at various events. She had discovered as a journalist always a good nose, 'leaving the subjects' early. However, she was particularly interested in positive news, because that would qualify as Barbel, in our, by negative headlines dominated media landscape just too short.
1999 it must have been when they on my invitation, gave a lecture in Stuttgart. At that time, it was later bestseller "orders with the universe" was released. It was her first appearance before a wider audience than ever. Nobody had any idea at that time to bring popularity to the timid who Barbel, who spoke to us because, even should ... read more of this entry »
5th June 2010 What did she have to listen to the eve of the Euro Vision Song Contest is not everything: how a Swedish speech therapist sounds, trying to imitate the Ali G, then the one and titled it as a dialect of disaster . Others remember their pronunciation to that of an Australian Outbackbauern . On stage, she moves like a "demented sick horse" , someone wrote in a forum, fidgety in the spotlight "Miss Kiss Kiss Bela Glos" spastic in front of him, even the FOCUS said in the meeting of their first album .
But then she's shown to all and won in Oslo after their single "Satellite" had earlier stormed the charts: Lena Meyer-Landrut, the new Miss German miracle. Nobody polarized the media landscape in recent times more over the 18-year-old, no such split the nation into two parts.
Meanwhile there is enough evidence that it is precisely the slope, which is supposedly "Spun," which fascinated and seduced the masses "entrain". read more of this entry »

"Decorated" Commerzbank-Arena is the place for a meeting with the Dalai Lama? (Photo: T. Röttcher)
This past long weekend spent the 14th Dalai Lama visits in Frankfurt. He who understands it like no other minister of the eastern hemisphere, the people (masses) to move. At least here with us in the West.
For the first time this year, it cost admire admission, the Tibetan "god king" to be allowed to live. The regular ticket prices ranged from 20 to just under 250 €, truly not chicken. With "Once in a lifetime to meet the Dalai Lama" was the organizer, the nonprofit Buddhism in Frankfurt GmbH in 2009, but the appropriate slogan, the crowd at the event to intensify. The Dalai Lama as the iconic pop star.
We took advantage of the zeitgeist-us editorial Saturday on the way to meeting more of this entry »

Stern 29/2009 Title: "Popstar" zu Guttenberg
This afternoon I read on the front page of T-Online ". Voters Favor: is Guttenberg's most popular politician" in the text goes on to say that he - like a Emnid survey and the ZDF-political barometer, has even surpassed his boss "The. ? rise of the black baron seems to be unstoppable ... "The star said previously (in No. 29, July 9):" Can he even chancellor, "Guttenberg there grinning from the title picture - but rather acts as if he had the night of drinking and found no time for a shave. On the young generation like the "cool" look, just like a pop star - but only if policy is mistaken for Hollywood!
Why the big media are suddenly closed behind Guttenberg? of this entry »

Dr. Eugene Gabowitsch (1938-2009)
Just recently I went to the sad news that I greatly appreciated Eugene Gabowitsch no longer with us. He died on 21 January in his 71st Age after several months of suffering. zeitgeist readers will remember from his chronology critical contribution from issue 1-2004 .
With a doctorate in mathematics Gabowitsch counted alongside Heribert Illig and Uwe Topper in this country probably the most famous historical analysts. Them all was and still is a concern - however different their approaches to research may well be - to show that so many of our era is not right, perhaps even centuries have been sealed so. Gabowitsch, which could represent quite daring theories (such as the fact that the Great Wall of China, as we know it today, not older than 50 years - he could also show correspondingly), always laid emphasis on talk of fictional time no forgery of time. The latter he sounded too much like a conspiracy and, moreover, would have the heart of the matter not taken. of this entry »
