I really believe that Twin Towers were intelligently demolished and the official version is government propaganda. If you think carefully, an airplane impact could only damage the building structure upwards, maybe some floors beneath, but never make the whole building accurately collapse as it did from top to the bottom. Of course, the majority of americans would eat what his government is giving them, without considering, so if the government says arabs, it's arabs. USA is the country on its own, quite far from the arabs as well as alternative opinions. Very few people would actually say "Hang on, the story looks well too prepared to be true". Anyway, americans are not the first victims of propaganda in this world. Did you actually wonder, how people could not only stand, but also praise  Stalin's or Hitler's tyranny during 30s and 40s, while millions of people were sentenced to death? State propaganda has always had very strong power and influence on the population. US government calculated things very well: if the majority catches the official opinion, those who oppose, won't go far, remain unconsidered or, even worse, prosecuted for supporting terrorism. Nothing new in this world, just open an average world history textbook. The official version is somehow very comfortable for the US government, opening all the doors around the globe and freeing their hands to do whatever they want for the sake of "fighting against terrorism". In the reality, "war against terrorism" is complete nonsense. Terrorism is abstract and is not bound to a region or a concrete country you can make war to. You destroy it here, it's going to appear there, you destroy it there, it's going to appear somewhere else. Moreover, destorying one country you make its population raise against you. I would not like to see tanks of some foreign country in my town, even if they come with a good mission. It could be more effective to look for eliminating the reasons of terrorism, if you really want to get rid of it.
Let me repeat, if you really want to get rid of it.
If US benefits from fighting against terrorism, it also might be interested to support terrorism in order to retain its benefits from fighting against it. I am not going to list all the benefits US government may have from this war - they are all well known. The only one thing I try to get to you is that to find someone resposible for something, whatever it is: war, terrorism - you only need to answer an old latin question : "Cui bono?".

The long-awaited "Democracy Tanks" album is finally out! It includes 11 songs and is related to current war in Iraq and US politics, for example, the heavy industrial song "Conspiracy" is about conspiracy theory of 9/11 being well orchestrated by US government (seen the movie "Loose Change" already?). The electronic-pop "My Honey Is Not A Man" is about gay trend, the fact that it has become a fashion to be gay, so lots of people are just following the trend. Also being a gay sells you better as an artist. The songs are ranging for rather heavy and eclectic to 80s electronic pop rhythms. It will be very soon available at iTunes & C=, so far it can be purchased @Nimbit by following the player on the left hand side of this page.

I don't know whether songwriters have started to react on what is going on in the world now, but I have not seen a lot so far, so I decided to drop the usual romantic topics for songwriting and write smth what really concerns me. The first song "Democracy: Go Ahead My Tanks" is the first of the album, a satirical melange of heavy guitar riffs, pulsing disco rhythm and mysterious lo-voices, which covers hot topics from recent US war campaign to homosexuality and cyberworld. Gravitator - is the gadget which creates gravity, a force which is pulling you down to earth. And that's what album is about.
