When Mommy is a Headbanger
DALLAS - They're housewives, workaholics, PTA members and ... rock stars?
Women fighting to shatter the stay-at-home-mom stereotype and rediscover their youthful voice are forming bands, such as Housewives on Prozac in suburban New York, Frump in Dallas and Placenta in Oakland, Calif.
These moms are rocking the house and the cradle, singing about breast-feeding, exhaustion and making kids do their chores.
"I feel like what we do is remind people about their passion and that sense of importance and that sense of vitality," said Joy Rose, a 47-year-old mother of four who founded Housewives on Prozac in 1997. "Life is really short, and it's important to live colorfully."
Mothers have struggled for identity and fulfillment for decades, growing more exasperated with their increasing career and child-rearing demands, said University of Michigan professor Susan Douglas, who co-authored the book "The Mommy Myth."
She said those feelings may explain the growing number of mom rock bands. (Rose estimated there are about 50 active mom bands across the country, with 20 of them having been formed in the last year.)
"In our cultural common sense, what could be more opposite from the icon of mom than a punk rocker?" Douglas said.
Suzie Riddle, who has three children aged 19, 12 and 6, started Frump in 2001 as a gag for her 40th birthday party. A punk rocker in her youth, then a librarian, Riddle hounded other mothers at her church and her daughters' school until she found three women willing to play along.
At first, they performed five songs, including "Suzie Is A Headbanger" by the Ramones and "We're Really Beat," a song Frump guitarist Frances Peterson wrote to the tune of "We've Got the Beat" by the Go-Go's.
"See the mothers driving down the street, see their makeup melting in the heat, straight from work, the pantyhose are tight, it's take-out tonight," the song begins.
Three years later, the band has grown to five, adding new members as others have moved away. Frump practices every Saturday night and performs about once a month at parties, churches and community events such as the Punky Mamas Christmas Bazaar in Dallas.
The band members even encouraged their daughters to get involved, and the girls formed their own band called Spawn and have played at two gigs with their moms.
"It is the best feeling in the world," said Frump lead guitarist Diane Harris, whose 11-year-old daughter Anna plays drums in Spawn.
Frump is still trying to forge an identity, teetering between being a novelty and a serious band, Riddle said. She'd like to add a second weekly practice and focus on cultivating a unique sound.
But any group that bills itself as an all-mom garage band is going to get a few chuckles, she conceded.
"I am really proud of this, and I'm proud of the attention that it's gotten us," she said. "It's kind of a silly idea, and a lot of people have taken notice."
At the Punky Mamas Bazaar, an audience of mostly middle-aged women and their children clapped and tapped their feet to Frump's music, even getting up to dance to "Twist and Shout." A few young couples on a Saturday evening date watched from the back of a half-full dance hall.
Julie Hougland came with her 6-year-old daughter, her 55-year-old mother and her 35-year-old sister. She said she was surprised by how much fun they had.
"How many venues are there where I can take my daughter and dance?" Hougland said.
Rose hopes the movement soon will catch on commercially as more people see mom bands in concert. Housewives on Prozac has recorded two CDs and a holiday CD single, which is available on Amazon.com.
Several mom bands will converge on New York City throughout May for the fourth annual Mamapalooza festival. The festival, founded by Rose, will feature at least five days of events, including a free outdoor concert and a poetry and jazz night.
========
This having been said, the fragment of the song "Pick Up Your Socks" made me laugh. Chuck Eddy to thread. Fly me into NYC and I'll cover Mamapalooza and do a MommyMetal review. Placenta, jeezus. All the best jokes get overtaken by real-life. Too bad no one would know the meaning of "Miltown" anymore.

man, more jpt scare band - excellent. i have to pick up "past is prologue," i didn't even know that was out.

That'll do as a spurious segue into mentioning that Earl Shilton, who used to be in Bolt Thrower, has remixed Alter Ego's 'Rocker'. Which is a genius piece of lateral thinking. The mix itself I cannot comment on as yet

I merely pointed out that a 13 minute metal song about the Loch Ness Monster could only be brilliant. How could it possibly be bad? Even if it were a child banging on a plate for 13 minutes with a guitar solo (even a KK Downing guitar solo) over the top and Rob Halford going 'waaaaaaaaah! Hot rockin'', the fact remains that it would _still_ be a 13 minute metal song about the Loch Ness Monster, and therefore it would _still_ be brilliant.
But if you are right, if the impossible happens, and it turns out to be not brilliant, I promise you you will receive an apology from me sir.

Enemy of God is great.
Right now I'm nuts over Behemoth's Demigod, which surprised me how catchy it is for a black metal album. "Conquer All" totally rips off Anthrax's "Be All End All", but in a good way.
Also, I can't get enough of the new Cursed album. They start out sounding kind of Converge-y, but then a really cool sludge influence starts to pop in, and the album winds up sounding like early Mastodon. It's the best Canadian metal album I've heard in a while (though I expect the new Strapping Young Lad album to top it in a month or so).

Samael's pretty much off on permanent tangent, but it's interesting. The new one is Rammstein + Egyptian music + the Dimmu Borgir black orchestra thing Samael invented. Pretty much hits the Satanic side of Soft Cell in a couple choice moments. Also remarkably mid-tempo -- some kind of Swiss timing thing.
Napalm Death's THE CODE IS RED...LONG LIVE THE CODE totally rages. Lots of simple hooky riffs at a faster speed than usual, it improves over the last two already good Napalm CDs. Not a bad Jello B. guest spot, either -- ie he does more than warble "yo yo yo" into the mic a couple times.
I also heard most of the new Hypocrisy over the weekend -- with Horgh of Immortal now on drums, it sounds like the shoegazer death metal of The Arrival landing over the tumult of Sons of Northern Darkness pt. II. Pretty powerful and vicious.
Even with the hiring of regional doom manager Joe Preston, can't work up the enthusiasm to listen to the new High on Fire. Well, there, I said it.

Yeah, the Mercenary's good, if a little samey, and it gets deeper and darker around "Sharpen the Edges." And shortly after that, there's this total crossover Bon Jovi/ Duran Duran sounding thing that I dug.
Samael seems VERY samey, though not always in a bad way.

The Muggs -- terrible name, Detroit band that doesn't sound at like Detroit. Yay!!!! Sounds like mid-70's crunching white boy blooz raunch. Lots of guitar, weedy lead voice by guitarist. Drummer can play a good shuffle and therefore the band has groove. One of the tunes, a good one, recycles ZZ Top's "everybody get high high high" signature from "Thunderbird."
Fat Nancy Pure American Muscle, Baby Terrible name and terrible album title obscure quality. Dude from Circus of Power, who has been trying to make a fair to really good biker rock album for close to two decades, finally succeeds, all COP stuff being fit only for the trash. Lots of tuneful hard rock sung by a halfway decent vocalist.
Hognose Longhandle Stoner band from Texas who manage not to totally stink up the place by playing too slow. The best stuff is short form -- which is more than half -- and if you edit out the seven minute bubbling distortion dirges (something that can be done with most of the stoner metal records I've had in the last two year, thereby making them !new and improved!), it rocks. Usual stoner-type he-man going out to beat the dog behind the shed and then beat the wife after half a bottle of JD shit goddamn I'm a motherfuckin' Texas man vocals. They really should think up a new style and lose that. Claim to sound like ZZ Top but don't at all which doesn't detract from the enjoyable tunes.

He rocks in a first album by Stray Dog with Snuffy Walden before he went "thirtysomething" or "twentysomething" whatever that old show was called kind of way, which is pretty good. "Rolling B-side Blues" is one of the best tunes on the disc. So is the other with "Blues" in the title. I can do without the seven-minute thing at the end but since it's at the finish, you can lift the laser.

Cover of "Whiplash" is fair. Cover of Tom Waits' "The World Died Screaming" is done as straight as a band of this type can manage andturns out astonishingly good, easily the best tune on the CD. Plus it shows some love for blues and a faint grasp of melody.

In it's second week of release The Darkness album has slipped to no 34 in the UK album charts. Down from it's 1st week entry of 11.
So the 'peoples band' can't blame the critics for 'the people' ignoring it if the album has had positive reviews.Maybe a big hit single in 2006 will help it climb back up.

Their recent album In Disgust We Trust wasn't great, but wasn't terrible either. The two cover tunes you cite make me wanna hear the one you're talking about. Iron Monkey's first EP was okay if you really really really liked Eyehategod, but the cover art was better than the music, and by the time they got around to putting out their second album, with horrible cartoon cover art, it was all over. I did like the title of their third disc, though - We've Learned Nothing.

The Rolling Stone review was essentially a pan with an olive twig or two thrown in. I still haven't heard it. Am unlikely to. I'm done with requesting promos of it. I carried enough of Darkness's water two years ago.
I good article could be written on the intersection of two facts: (1) Everyone who reviews the Darkness grabs their strong link to the sound of classic '70's metal and hard rock. The Darkness live or die by it. (2) In contrast with the classic '70's metal and hard rock bands they draw from, they took nothing from the models of music biz success those bands vigorously practiced. In other words, you could have a career if you releases at least one and often more than one album a year for a regular period.
Now perhaps The Darkness felt it didn't have to do that because it was a big deal in England. But every BIG band in the genre from the UK from their roots time DID adhere to a fast release schedule. Status Quo and Slade immediately come to mind. UFO certainly released many, many records. None of these bands let the grass grow under their feet. Neither did Queen. No one did. Period.
So what was and is in their heads? They've made their job impossible in the States without a breakthru hit on video in 2006. Goofs.

The dichotomy between the Darkness's overtly 70s sound and their overtly 2000s (and, make no mistake, label-mandated) production rate is interesting, and I agree it could be part of their downfall. (The other big part is that they're yet another UK band that thinks being the hype-toys of the UK press means something - anything - in America.) I would love it if bands hewed to the work ethic of Ted Nugent in his prime - five studio albums and a double live disc between 1975 and 1980. But the big labels want an album every 2-4 years from the acts they're pumping the hardest. Shit, look at what happened to Prince - WB pretty much ordered him to shove the vast majority of his output back on the shelf.

Yeah, I agree, Phil. It's just damn foolish. Since audiences are more fickle now and have a lot more to divert them, you just kill yourself by not keeping in front of people -- good, bad or indifferent. It's no more hard now to produce a hard rock album than it was in 1975. Technology and experience has actually made it magnitudes easier.
I fail to understand the artificial barriers to publishing combined with the let's-sit-on-our-asses-for-a-good-long-while practice of The Darkness. Without a substantial miraculous hit, they're in for a rude months-long shock when they get back here to tour. Keep it up, and in another year, they'll be lucky to be booked in the standard metro-dives in ten of the biggest cities.
In other matters, Saxon had been skedded to play an Allentown metro-dive and the show fell through. Struck down by US policy in the war on terror and inability to get past the border for unspecified flimsy reasons. Or maybe they just didn't really want to come. Anyway, Exodus and Three Inches of Blood had been there a week or so prior, my colleague tells me, and that show was a good one.

I'm starting to have the same worries w/r/t Rammstein. I got their new album last week, and it's fantastic, stronger than its predecessor which had two or three videos that got brief MTV attention (on Headbangers' Ball anyway), but it doesn't have a US release date yet as far as I know, and they haven't toured the US since about 2001 or 2002, when they were supporting Korn and Limp Bizkit on one of the early Anger Management runs. I wonder if their label has decided not to bother trying to get them any bigger in America than they were a few years ago. If so, that'd be a damn shame.

Now, amazingly, I've had an opp to listen to The Darkness. The mark of Roy Thomas Baker is strong upon it. They or someone must've dragged him out of retirement with the promise that he could go to town. Anyway, I'm still with the conviction they've waited too long but the title cut and "Knockers" right off the bat give the label things to work. The title cut is slightly better -- it has a wonderful chorus hook -- and a sitar break in it not played by a sitar, but probably by a Variax guitar. It's a guitar with a computer in it that emulates vintage instruments, and it works, and it has sitar algorithms in it, that sound just like what is on the Darkenss LP. I know 'cuz I have one. For the Darkness, it sounds like a sitar but played like a metal guitarist would play, which is what you get when a guitarist does that with a Variax. Trivial, but it made me laugh.
Also the "Knockers" refrain, "I like what you've done with your hair" and rhyming "busty" with "I'm rusty." I suspect the humor will be lost on most of the potential US audience.
So there's a chance.

Speaking of dance-industrial, can anybody explain by what logic Nine Inch Nails get classified as "hard rock" but Rammstein and Ministry get nominated as "metal" by the Grammy nominees? ....Well, I guess Ministry and Rammstein *are* more metal; I never gave a shit about NIN and never will, and I haven't made it through a Ministry album in at least a decade, and never even knew Rammstein (who I like) put out a new album this year, so big whoop. But all three of those bands, I'd think, have more in common with *each other* than with the other respective bands in their categories (Audioslave, Queens of the Stone Age, System of a Down, Robert Plant in hard rock; Mudvayne, Shadows Fall, Slipknot in metal). Seems almost arbitrary. Which maybe it is. (I'd never call System of a Down "hard rock" either, but whatever. By now, they probably belong in the world music category. Just kidding.)

EZO, as far as I knew them, had been a Gene Simmons import job. Saw them live wherein they dressed up as weird combo of Kabuki and geishas. They were a little arty and totally hookless but very rhythmic and pounding and the audience, average metal fans in some dirtbag venue in the Lehigh Valley, were left silent. My drummer liked them because they invited him backstage after the set and turned out to be hard to understand but warmly hospitable for a place that had been totally inhospitable to them.
So Loudness transforms into this relentless and merciless pounding act with a raw screaming singer. The change in style accidentally (or maybe not) takes them into rhythmic grind. The main man remains the guitarist, Takasaki, who destroys, which sets them apart from everyone else since he has a tendency to go between Yngwie Euro-shred to bluesy fills and nasty standard hard rock comping. A lot of the operatic style they were known for early on is also subdued and these albums -- Heavy Metal Hippies and Loudness -- are uniformly good, even excellent in some parts.

My mission at the roadrunner office party at nokia the other night was to school europeans that SUNN does not rhyme with SANYO. "Oh, it's like an emoticon" said the German. Yes.
The roadrunner party was a hell of a good party, and a fun show. Glen Benton wore his full iron face mask, and two of the best speed metal guitarists ever created, Andreas Kisser and Jeff Waters, dueled on "Curse of the Pharoahs." And the Trivium guys shredded impressively in unison on two of Dimebag's guitars on loan. Greatest office party ever.

Kayo Dot reminds me of a cool, underloved mid-90s Cargo Records band called Creedle.
The Scum supergroup record is a near-miss, but I'm glad I have it.

eMusic has some of the Ted Nugent catalog, the stuff not owned by the big label which made him a star. And I'd go into a lot of it but Nugent from the 80's was definitely worth the download and burn. St. Holmes came back to the fold and Nuge promised a returned to the sound of Ted Nugent but he did the production himself which pretty much ensured it wouldn't quite get there. But some of it does and the last two numbers, "Let's Rock Tonight" and "Tailgunner" which make up about ten minutes, are excellent recreations of the style and vibe, pretty much ignored by everyone when the record came out.
I was suprised because I'd ignored it in favor of Little Miss Dangerous which was Ted thinking he was going to be a Tv or movie star and up there with the Miami Vicers. I still like that, it's the oddest and most experimental (if Ted could ever be said to be "experimenting") sounding record in his catalog. But I recommend Nugent to longtime fans.

i got that mail too and really, that's a strange deal. They're not metal at all, maybe they've changed there style to meth-rock (as in metal combined with mathrock hah)

AS LONG AS THIS AND MORTENSENS HAVE NOT BEEN HANDLED TORE TOIVICCO ASKS UN SEND UN PEACE CORPS TO DENMARK:I ASK UNITED NATIONS TO SEND UN PEACE CORPS TO DENMARK TO QUARANTEE HUMAN RIGHTS AND EQUALITY FOR IMMIGRANTS AND MAKE LIFE SAFE HERE FOR IMMIGRANTS AND MUSLIMS.
DANISH PEOPLE DOESN´T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT IMMIGRANTS SHOULD HAVE SAME RIGHTS AS ANYONE ELSE.I CALL THIS DANSKCRIMINATION-IF IMMIGRANT COMPLAINS ABOUT CRIMES DONE TO HIM, DANISH PEOPLE MAY LAUGH, OR ONLY STATE THAT THATS NOT A CRIME,OR WE CAN´T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS IS HOW DANISH PEOPLE HAVE PROVOKED MUSLIMS BY USING PICTURES OF MOHAMMED(=BLASHEMY OF ISLAM).
I HAVE IN MY OPEN LETTER TO SVALI WRITTEN ABOUT MY SITUATION IN DENMARK,AND IT´S BASICLY THAT OFFICIALS ARE NOT INTERESTED TO HANDLE MATTERS THEY SHOULD,SO I DON´T GET ANY SERVICE FROM DANISH OFFICIALS, EXCEPT THOSE THINGS THEY CANNOT DENY FROM ME (BEING TO OBVIOUS RACISM).I HOPE THAT JESUS HELPS ME TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY AND GIVES ME CHANCE TO GET MY LOVED ONES IN DENMARK BACK TO ME.AND STOP THIS POSSIBLE CRIME OF "ILLUMINATI"-PEOPLE AGAINST ME,IN WHICH THEY HAVE STOPPED ME TO MEET OR SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY CLOSE TO ME,OR WOULD HAVE BEEN UNLESS SEPARATED FROM ME,WITH THE HELP OF OFFICIALS/THEIR CONNECTIONS.BECAUSE OF CRAZY "ILLUMINATI"-CONNECTED PEOPLE(BRØNDBY?)?JESUS LET IT BE CLEARED WHAT IS SITUATION REGARDING MY CHILD AND PERSONS WHOM I LOVE,LET ME GET JUSTICE HAPPEN IN DENMARK,AND LET ME BECOME FREE TO TALK TO THEM AND MEET THEM FREELY.
IMMIGRANTS REPLIES ARE MOSTLY REMOVED FROM DANISH DEBATES(IMMIGRANTS ARE UNDER SURVEILLANCE IN DENMARK?)THESE KIND OF THINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN SOL.DK,JUBII.DK AND LIBERATOR.DK -DEBATES.THIS WOULD BE RACISM OR NAZISM- DANSKCRIMINATION?MY MYMUSIC.DK MESSAGE HAS PROPABLY DISAPPEARED ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AFTER I HAD FINALLY GOTTEN IT ALMOST PERFECT.
Here is part of my letter to SVALI(EX-ILLUMINATI-MEMBER)YESTERDAY 18.2.I GOT FOLLOWED BY 2 MEMBERS FROM PLACE WHERE I USE COMPUTER,AND DSB(DANISH RAILWAYS)INSPECTOR WHOM I COMPLAINED WHEMN I WAS THREATENED BY VIOLENCE,JUST LAUGHED AND ASKED TO CALL POLICE,INSTEAD OF DOING IT HIMSELF.THOUGH SITUATION GOT HANDLED,BUT NOW THOSE PEOPLE,GANGMEMBERS?- ARE AFTER ME?I CANNOT USE INTERNET FREELY,OR BE FREELY IN COPENHAGEN.TODAY ONE OMEMBER FROM INTERNET-PLACE WAS AT STATION WHICH I USE WHEN I GO TO COPENHAGEN.HE HAS EARLIER DISTURBED ME IN THAT INTERNET CAFE.ONE OF THOSE EPOPLE IS PROPABLE PET,OR SOMEKIND OF OFIICIAL CONECTED PERSON(DANISH).I GUESS I AM UNDER CONTROL, OR ALSO MY INTERNET -USE.SOMEOONE WAS STANDING SECRETLY BEHINSD ME YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS USING COMPUTER.THIS IS ONLY ONE DAYS HAPPENINGS, BUT THIS KIND OF THINGS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYDAY, EXCEPT THAT THERE IS NO VIOLENCE(ESPECIALLY IF I ALWAYS AVOI! D it="GO" ÁWAY).I GUESS IT´S POSSIBLE THEY TRY TO MAKE ME SOMETHING STUPID,GET ANGRY,VIOLENT,ETC.SO THAT THEY CAN JUST DESTROY ME.THIS MAY BE ALSO A WAY TO STOP ME SEEING PEOPLE IN COPENHAGEN,BECAUSE THIS WEEK WAS A WINTER-HOLIDAY IN DENMARK, AND THEREFORE I COULD HAVE MET SOME PEOPLE I CANNOT NORMALLY EVER MEET IN COPENHAGEN, SO NOW I AM STOPPED TO GO TO COPENHAGEN CITY.THIS WOULD FIT ILLUMINATI-THEORY,ILLUMINATI BEING BEHIND THIS DISCRIMINATION AND CONTROL OF MY LIFE HERE.I GUESS THIS CAN BE DANISH OR EVEN INTERNATIONAL ILLUMINATI/FREEMASON-MAFIA.IN DENMARK IS PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?INSPECTOR YESTERDAY DIDN´T GAVE HIS NAME.
Things like what happened 10.3.(BROENDBY STRAND) must be stopped.AM I UNDER SURVEILLANCE IN DENMARK?
F.EX. NOW THERE HAS BEEN GANGS IN SAME BUSSES I AM USING,AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL.BY USING MOBILES F.EX. DANISH FREE MASONS AND THEIR CONNECTIONS MAY MOBILIZE 10000-100000 PEOPLE IN COPENHAGEN AREA.IF THEY USE THIS AGAINST ME I BEING ALONE CANNOT DO ANYTHING.THEREFORE I AM AFRAID TO MOVE IN DENMARK.
DANSKCRIMINATION:"LIVING IN DENMARK IS A PARTY FOR DANISH PEOPLE BUT MADE A NIGHTMARE FOR IMMIGRANTS"
Have I been under surveillance IN DENMARK,AND POLICE REFUSED TO HELP ME OR INVESTIGATE IT?IF THIS IS THE CASE,I THEREFORE ASK COMPENSATION OF AT LEAST 14 MILLION US DOLLARS,AND THAT EVERYTHING IS MADE GOOD AGAIN.OTHERWISE I HAVE NO LIFE IN DENMARK,AND WE HAVE DISCRIMINATION OR PERSECUTION HERE?AND UN SHOULD SET SANCTIONS TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION.______________NOTES(DON´TAKE THESE opinions SERIOUSLY if you feel bad about them:)_I WANT TO STATE THAT MOST OF COLOURED IMMIGRANTS IN DENMARK ARE NOT PROB-LEM AND THEY ARE PART OF NORMAL LIFE IN DENMARK.I THINK MOST PROBLEMS IN DENMARK ARE CAUSED BY DF-PARTYS STATEMENTS AGAINST IMMIGRANTS AND JP-NEWSPAPERS MOHAMMED-DRAWINGS,AND THESE THINGS MAY BE MEANT TO IRRITATE MUSLIMS IN DENMARK ,AND WORLDWIDE?-I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I ACCEPT ALL MUSLIMS AND RELIGIONS ,UNLESS THEY ACTIVELY DO CRIMES(SATANISM?)AND I THINK THAT MOST CHRISTIANS ACCEPT MUSLIMS IN DENMARK,AND THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY PROBLEMS BETWEEN THESE 2 RELIGIONS.-ALSO IN YUGOSLAVIA MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS HAD LIVED IN PEACE LONG TIME,BUT WHEN RADOVAN KARADZIC CAME IN TO POWER,THERE STARTED TO BE RACE HATE-PROPAGANDA.-IT´S ALSO SAID THAT THERE WOULDN´T BE ANY RIOTS IN GHETTOS IN USA, UNLESS MEDIA WOULDN´T CREATE THEM.*****THERE HAS BEEN MUSLIM RAGE TOWARDS DENMARK.ANYWAY IT´S STRANGE THAT MUSLIMS HAVE NOT RAGED AGAINST RADOVAN KARADZIC(UNDER HIS REGIME THERE WERE about 100000-200000 MUSLIMS KILLED AND ABOUT 40000 MUSLIM WOMEN RAPED IN SERBIA.)HAS MEDIA SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS-IS MEDIA MANIPULATING OPINIONS OF MASSES?_-----MOST OF MY WRITINGS MAY FEEL STRANGE TO READERS WHO HAVE NO EXPERIENCE ABOUT OCCULT OR SATANIC GROUPS, BUT THOSE ONES WHO KNOW ABOUT THOSE THINGS MAY KNOW EVERYTHING TO BE TRUE.(OF COURSE I CAN BE WRONG.I HOPE I WE-RE...)OF COURSE IT´S NOT EASY TO KNOW ABOUT THOSE THINGS ,BECAUSE THEY ARE HIDDEN.*****_DANISH ILLUMINATI SYSTEM?:IMMIGRANT GANGS HANDLE "PROBLEMS",AND POLICE IGNORES?NØRREBRO IS KEPT FREE AREA FOR IMMIGRANT GANGS,CHRISTIANIA FOR DRUG DEALING(HELLS AN-GELS/BANDIDOS?)POLICE IS STATISFIED WHEN CRIMINALS KEEP PEOPLE UNDER THEIR COMMAND AND THEY DO NOTHING TO STOP THIS?POLICE STANDS AND ALLOWS ATTACKERS WALK FREE?*****DANSKCRIMINATION:ONE WAY HOW DENMARK STOPS INTEGRATION IS TO STOP IMMIGRANTS FROM CHATTING AND DEBATTING?*****POST DANMARK STOPS LETTERS GOING OUT FROM DENMARK?IT´S NOT POSSIBLE TO GET DATA FREELY OUT FROM DENMARK? Maybe not even e-mails?-----TORE TOIVICCO asks Denmark to apologize :STASI,hk,-----IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN WITH ME AT LEAST ONE WEEKS TIME IN DENMARK, HE WOULD PROPABLY HAD UNDERSTOOD WHAT MY SITUATION IS.BUT WITHOUT BEING WITH ME,IT´S MAYBE IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND.-----DANSKCRIMINATION:DANISH NEWSPAPER TESTED HOW DANISH OFFICES ARE ANSWERING TO IMMIGRANTS WHO CALLED AND WANTED TO RENT AN APARTMENT.ANSWERS PROVED THAT DANISH PEOPLE TOLD IMMIGRANTS MUCH LONGER WAITING TIME THAN TO DANISH CALLERS.*****_Illuminati business denmark?:I guess it can be that Illuminati-elite in Denmark GETS money FROM INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MADE BY "ILLUMINATI-IMMIGRANTS/ ILLUMINATI ORGANIZATIONS/FIRMS-BUSINESSES".DRUG TRADE?SEX?*****"IMMIGRANTS MAY NOT BE INTEGRATED INTO DANISH SOCIETY.THEY MAY NOT BECOME PART OF DANISH SOCIETY."*****DANISH IMAM AKKARI MADE A JOKE ABOUT KILLING A PRIME MINISTER,WHILE AKKARI WAS TALKING WITH SOME OF HIS MUSLIM FRIENDS.THIS WAS SECRETLY TAPED,AND HE HAD TO MOVE OUT FROM DENMARK.*****DANISH ATTITUDE?:"IT´S A CRIME TO LIVE IN DENMARK IF YOU ARE AN IMMIGRANT."*****______________________________SAID BY CIA-AGENT LEE HARVEY OSWALD(USA,1963) and CITIZEN TORE TOIVICCO(Denmark,2005): " I do request someone to come forward to give me legal assistance.
