Weapons that shoot microchips into the bodies of innocent civilians.
An artist smuggling blueprints for fake technology inside China’s first international weapons fair. Laughing arms traders drinking 30-year-old
Chivas Regal among teenage models advertising new weapons. No,
it’s not a chilling sci-fi movie; it’s reality, and a project by Danish artist
Jakob S. Boeskov.
Boeskov traveled to Beijing in June 2002 posing as the CEO of
Empire North,a fictional Scandinavian arms company. He infiltrated
CIEPE (China International Exhibition on Police Equipment) -- an
event where, for the first time, jet- setting international weapons
dealers rubbed shoulders in China.
In order to blend in, Boeskov brought 300 fake business cards and
a poster of a horrific, hi-tech weapon.
This weapon, the ID Sniper, was designed to shoot GPS (Global Positioning System) microchips into the bodies of innocent civilians,
whose movements later could be followed by authorities via a GPS satellite system.
Boeskov describes the 3 days at the weapons fair as “the worst
3 days of my life, like being trapped inside a nightmarish sci-fi novel that you authored yourself.”
With MY DOOMSDAY WEAPON, Boeskov develops what he calls “Fictionalism,” illustrating a need for political art to take risks by “hacking
reality.” He asks artists to “Turn your worst fears about the future
into a product. Present this product in present day reality. Report
the reactions.”

And to hear Boskov speak about this project on the WNYC program

Jakob S. Boeskov was born in 1975 and lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. MY
DOOMSDAY WEAPON is his first New York solo exhibition. For more

The End Is Neigh!
 Their beliefs are bonkers, but
they are at the heart of power.
US Christian fundamentalists
are driving Bush's Middle East policy
George Monbiot Tuesday April 20, 2004The Guardian
|
||||||||||
To understand what is happening in the Middle East, you must first
understand what is happening in Texas. To understand what is happening
there, you should read the resolutions passed at the state's Republican
party conventions last month. Take a look, for example, at the decisions
made in Harris County, which covers much of Houston.
The delegates began by nodding through a few uncontroversial matters:
homosexuality is contrary to the truths ordained by God; "any mechanism to
process, license, record, register or monitor the ownership of guns" should
be repealed; income tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and corporation
tax should be abolished; and immigrants should be deterred by electric
fences. Thus fortified, they turned to the real issue: the affairs of a
small state 7,000 miles away. It was then, according to a participant, that
the "screaming and near fist fights" began.
I don't know what the original motion said, but apparently it was "watered
down significantly" as a result of the shouting match. The motion they
adopted stated that Israel has an undivided claim to Jerusalem and the
West Bank, that Arab states should be "pressured" to absorb refugees
from Palestine, and that Israel should do whatever it wishes in seeking to
eliminate terrorism. Good to see that the extremists didn't prevail then.
But why should all this be of such pressing interest to the people of a
state which is seldom celebrated for its fascination with foreign affairs?
The explanation is slowly becoming familiar to us, but we still have some
difficulty in taking it seriously.
In the United States, several million people have succumbed to an
extraordinary delusion.
In the 19th century, two immigrant preachers cobbled together a series
of unrelated passages from the Bible to create what appears to be a
consistent narrative: Jesus will return to Earth when certain preconditions
have been met.
The first of these was the establishment of a state of Israel.
The next involves Israel's occupation of the rest of its "biblical
lands" (most of the Middle East), and the rebuilding of the Third
Temple on the site now occupied by the Dome of the Rock and
al-Aqsa mosques. The legions of the antichrist will then be
deployed against Israel, and their war will lead to a final
showdown in thevalley of Armageddon. The Jews will either
burn or convert to Christianity,and the Messiah will return to
Earth.
What makes the story so appealing to Christian fundamentalists is that
before the big battle begins, all "true believers" (ie those who believe
what they believe) will be lifted out of their clothes and wafted up to
heaven during an event called the Rapture. Not only do the worthy get
to sit at the right hand of God, but they will be able to watch, from the
best seats, their political and religious opponents being devoured by boils,sores, locusts and frogs, during the seven years of Tribulation
which follow.
The true believers are now seeking to bring all this about. This
means staging confrontations at the old temple site (in 2000, three
US Christians were deported for trying to blow up the mosques there), sponsoring Jewish settlements in the occupied territories, demanding
ever more US support for Israel, and seeking to provoke a final battle
with the Muslim world/Axis of Evil/United Nations/ European Union/
France or whoever the legions of the antichrist turn out to be.
The believers are convinced that they will soon be rewarded for their
efforts. The antichrist is apparently walking among us, in the guise of
Kofi Annan, Javier Solana, Yasser Arafat or, more plausibly, Silvio
Berlusconi.
The Wal-Mart corporation is also a candidate (in my view a very
good one),because it wants to radio-tag its stock, thereby exposing
humankind to the Mark of the Beast.
 The Mark of the Beast 666 will be a computer microchip called VeriChip or
VeriPay to be implanted in the hand or forehead. ...
By clicking on www.rapture ready.com, you can discover how close
you might be to flying out of your pyjamas. The infidels among us
should take note that the Rapture Index currently stands at 144, just
one point below thecritical threshold, beyond which the sky will be
filled with floating nudists.
 Beast Government, Wild Weather and Israel are all trading at the
maximum five points (the EU is debat ing its constitution, there was
a freak hurricane in the south Atlantic, Hamas has sworn to avenge
the killing of its leaders), but the second coming is currently being
delayed by an unfortunate decline in drug abuse among teenagers
and a weak showing by the antichrist (both of which score only two).
We can laugh at these people, but we should not dismiss them. That
their beliefs are bonkers does not mean they are marginal. American pollsters believe that 15-18% of US voters belong to churches or movements which subscribe to these teachings. A survey in 1999 suggested that this figure included 33% of Republicans.
The best- selling contemporary books in the US are the 12 volumes
of the Left Behind series, which provide what is usually described as
a "fictionalised" account of the Rapture (this, apparently,distinguishes
it from the other one), with plenty of dripping details about what will happen to the rest of us. The people who believe all this don't believe
it just a little; for them it is a matter of life eternal and death.
And among them are some of the most powerful men in America.
John Ashcroft, the attorney general, is a true believer, so are several
prominent senators and the House majority leader, Tom DeLay.
Mr DeLay (who is also the co-author of the marvellously named DeLay-
Doolittle Amendment, postponing campaign finance reforms) travelled
to Israel last year to tell the Knesset that "there is no middle ground, no
moderate position worth taking".
So here we have a major political constituency - representing much of
the current president's core vote - in the most powerful nation on Earth, which is actively seeking to provoke a new world war.
Its members see the invasion of Iraq as a warm-up act, as Revelation
(9:14-15) maintains that four angels "which are bound in the great river
Euphrates" will be released "to slay the third part of men". They batter
down the doors of the White House as soon as its support for Israel
wavers: when Bush asked Ariel Sharon to pull his tanks out of Jenin in
2002, he received 100,000 angry emails from Christian fundamentalists,
and never mentioned the matter again.
The electoral calculation, crazy as it appears, works like this.
Governments stand or fall on domestic issues. For 85% of the US electorate, the MiddleEast is a foreign issue, and therefore of
secondary interest when they enter the polling booth.

For 15% of the electorate, the Middle East is not just a domestic
matter, it's a personal one: if the president fails to start a
conflagration there, his core voters don't get to sit at the right
hand of God.
Bush, in other words, stands to lose fewer votes by encouraging
Israeli aggression than he stands to lose by restraining it. He would
be mad to listen to these people. He would also be mad not to.
