Re: <nettime> Mesopotamia's burning

Keith:

As you probably know, the "occult" basis of the Saddam regime closely 
paralleled the occult basis of the Nazis.  The SS was the model for the SSO.

This museum (along with the various "palaces") was the storehouse for many of 
those SSO "fetish" objects and it might be a "good" idea to scatter them to 
various ritual "temples" in the Alps and Paris/London/Berlin (where they are 
now probably heading) than to have them around in Iraq as it trys to shake 
its heritage as the Ur-UFO landing site (i.e. the "cradle" of civilization.)

We live in *very* strange times, indeed!
