"Ma photographie la plus aponévrotique" by xlew b. masset

xavierlewmasset.blogspot.fr/2015/10/ma-photographie-la-pl...

Garantie sans aucun poil pubien apparent.

"Surpris à chaque fois de voir ma 'photo' la plus aponévrotique semée puis resemée à tout bout de contre-champ illustratif de la glèbe d'un texte ou d'une thèse. Remué d'être systématiquement de la baise et de la revoyure dans les échanges inter-névrotiques des premiers ubernautes venus, fussent-ils des moins célèbres. Genug, genug, Ich habe genug. Homme déjà comblé dans mon Schlummer argentique, n'ajoutez pas s'il vous plaît des petites pierres à mon demi sommeil délicatement étalé dans les allées et les linéaments d'une mémoire poudrée comme le visage d'un vieil aristocrate dont les rides sablées à la farine de poisson tiennent encore à peu près d'équerre le fragile assemblage de leur squelette archivistique. Cette photographie était au commencement parfaite facétie, à l'origine le cliché d'un dôme soyeux fait en loucedé dans une piscine et saisi aux rayons X à l'insu du triton perpétrateur, ou la capture d'une monstrueuse éruption volcanique sur l'exoplanète Carteria-Lehika 14 HBv, puis abandonnée par le laborantin peu rigoureux, je ne m'en souviens plus vraiment. Je pris sur moi de renverser sur elle-même l'épreuve qui s'était retrouvée par un chemin de traverse et de hasard, impossible à développer ici, en mon indigne possession. Je voulais exprimer par la nouvelle présentation toutes les aponévroses d'intersection qui fouillent les entrailles des photographes qui travaillent l'inouï de l'instantané dans les sels des noirs et des blancs purs, au couteau, au doigt ou à balle perdue depuis le canon de l'iris, souligner les entrelacements vertigineux du septum et du fascia aux bords des membranes du cadre, leurs bâillements et bavures. Noter tous les accidents, les écrabouillements invisibles de mes Facel Vega spirituelles ou de mes Triumph intimes (oui; les photographes de l'inouï roulent aussi en automobile ou en motocyclette) (et que Willy Ronis rogna toujours car il ne se déplaçait qu'en cerf-volant) lorsque j'appuyais sur le bouton comme sur un champignon, je voulais montrer tous ces microscopiques feuillets qui s'enroulent dans l'imagination instantanée des Inouïstes professionnels, de la plus infime lamelle Y du cerveau jusqu'à la ligne blanche abdominale des plus minces tissus conjonctifs. Du sexe il n'était point question, j'avait trop bien bouclé les jointures du boîtier de mes libidos, relativement calmes et modestes, obturé d'un drap les suintantes fentes de la vile Pornofest. "No Sex Direction Aum, mes bons messieurs. Je le répète, contre toute autre interprétation, de nullité je crois pouvoir dire que je proteste.""

Auto World Museum by lukedrich_photography

Source: www.autoworldmuseum.com/about.html

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.

William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.

Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.

After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.

The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.

Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.

I was curious if I could get all my touring gear on my Salsa Campeon without racks. Was not only a success, but it blew my mind when I put it on the scale and it weighed in at 34lbs.

For a touring bike it rides and climbs like a demon. I think I've reached a whole new level of spoiled.

"Le rapport de la « commission d’enquête » présidentielle passé au crible

115 mensonges sur les attentats du 11 septembre

par David Ray Griffin*

Il n’existe toujours pas de version officielle des attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Aucune enquête judiciaire n’a été ouverte sur les attentats eux-mêmes, ni d’enquête parlementaire d’ailleurs. Tout au plus dispose-t-on d’une version gouvernementale explicitée par un rapport rendu par une commission présidentielle. Le professeur David Ray Griffin, qui a consacré un ouvrage de référence à l’étude de ce rapport, y a relevé 115 mensonges dont il dresse ici la liste.

Pour chaque mensonge, on se réfèrera aux analyses du professeur David Ray Griffin dans son ouvrage Omissions et manipulations de la Commission d’enquête. Les chiffres entre parenthèse renvoient aux pages du livre dans son édition originale états-unienne.

1. L’omission de la preuve qu’au moins six des pirates de l’air présumés (dont Waleed al- Shehri, que la Commission accuse d’avoir poignardé une hôtesse de l’air du vol UA11 avant que celui-ci s’écrase sur la tour Nord du World Trade Center) sont toujours vivants (19-20).

2. L’omission des preuves concernant Mohamed Atta (comme son penchant signalé pour l’alcool, le porc et les danses érotiques privées – lap dances – ) sont en contradiction avec les affirmations de la Commission selon lesquelles il était devenu un fanatique religieux (20-21).

3. La confusion volontairement créée autour des preuves que Hani Hanjour était un pilote trop incompétent pour amener un avion de ligne à s’écraser sur le Pentagone (21-22).

4. L’omission du fait que les listes des passagers (flight manifests) rendues publiques ne contenaient aucun nom d’Arabe (23).

5. L’omission du fait qu’un incendie n’a jamais causé l’effondrement total d’un bâtiment à structure d’acier, ni avant ni après le 11 Septembre (25).

6. L’omission du fait que les incendies des Tours Jumelles n’étaient ni extrêmement étendus, ni particulièrement intenses, ni même très longs en comparaison avec d’autres incendies dans des gratte-ciels (de structures) similaires, qui eux ne se sont jamais écroulés (25-26).

7. L’omission du fait qu’étant donné l’hypothèse que les effondrements aurait été provoqués par l’incendie, la Tour Sud, touchée plus tard que la Tour Nord et en proie à des flammes de moindre intensité, n’aurait pas dû s’effondrer la première (26).

8. L’omission du fait que le bâtiment n°7 du WTC (qui n’a pas été touché par un avion et qui ne fut le théâtre que de petits incendies localisés) s’est aussi écroulé, un événement que l’Agence Fédérale pour le Traitement des Situations d’Urgence (FEMA) a reconnu ne pouvoir expliquer (26).

9. L’omission du fait que l’effondrement des Tours Jumelles (et du bâtiment n°7) présente au moins 10 caractéristiques d’une démolition contrôlée (26-27).

10. L’assertion que le coeur de la structure de chacune des Tours Jumelles était « un puits d’acier vide », une affirmation qui nie la présence de 47 massives colonnes d’acier qui constituaient en réalité le coeur de chaque tour et qui, selon la théorie de « l’empilement des étages » (the « pancake theory ») explicative des effondrements, aurait dû restées dressées vers le ciel sur de nombreuses dizaines de mètres (27-28).

11. L’omission de la déclaration de Larry Silverstein [le propriétaire du WTC] selon laquelle il décida, en accord avec les pompiers, de « démolir » (to « pull », argot technique) le bâtiment n°7 (28).

12. L’omission du fait que l’acier des bâtiments du WTC fut rapidement déblayé de la scène du crime et embarqué sur des navires à destination de l’étranger AVANT qu’il puisse être analysé pour y déceler des traces d’explosifs (30).

13. L’omission du fait que le bâtiment n°7 ayant été évacué avant son effondrement, la raison officielle invoquée pour le déblaiement rapide de l’acier [sur ce site] (que certaines personnes puissent être encore vivantes sous les décombres) ne faisait aucun sens dans ce cas précis (30).

14. L’omission de la déclaration du maire R. Giuliani selon laquelle il avait été prévenu que le WTC allait s’effondrer (30-31).

15. L’omission du fait que Marvin Bush, le frère du Président, et son cousin Wirt Walker III étaient tous les deux directeurs de la société chargée de la sécurité du WTC (31-32).

16. L’omission du fait que l’aile Ouest du Pentagone [celle effectivement touchée] était la moins susceptible d’être prise pour cible par des terroristes de al-Qaida, pour plusieurs raisons (33- 34).

17. L’omission de toute discussion pour établir si les dommages sur le Pentagone étaient compatibles avec l’impact d’un Boeing 757 se déplaçant à plusieurs centaines de kilomètres/heure (34).

18. L’omission du fait qu’il existe des photos montrant que la façade de l’aile Ouest ne s’est effondrée que 30 minutes après la frappe, et aussi que le trou d’entrée apparaît bien trop petit pour un Boeing 757 (34).

19. L’omission de tout témoignage contradictoire au sujet de la présence ou de l’absence de débris visibles d’un Boeing 757 que ce soit à l’intérieur ou à l’extérieur du Pentagone (34-36).

20. L’absence de toute discussion pour établir si le Pentagone disposait d’un système de défense anti-missile capable d’abattre un avion de ligne commercial, bien que la Commission suggéra que les terroristes d’al-Qaida n’attaquèrent pas une centrale nucléaire parce qu’ils assumaient qu’elle serait ainsi défendue (36).

21. L’omission du fait que les images de différentes caméras de surveillance (y compris celles de la station service en face du Pentagone, dont le film fut confisqué par le FBI immédiatement après la frappe) pourraient sans doute donner une réponse à ce qui a réellement percuté le Pentagone (37-38).

22. L’omission de la référence du Ministre de la Défense D. Rumsfeld à « un missile [utilisé] pour endommager [le Pentagone] » (39).

23. L’approbation apparente de la réponse totalement insatisfaisante à la question de savoir pourquoi les agents des Services Secrets permirent au Président Bush de rester dans l’école de Sarasota à un moment où, selon la version officielle, ils auraient dû assumer qu’un avion détourné aurait pu prendre l’école pour cible (41-44).

24. L’échec à expliciter pourquoi les Services Secrets n’ont pas demandé la protection de chasseurs pour [l’avion présidentiel] Air Force One (43-46).

25. Les affirmations selon lesquelles lorsque le cortège présidentiel arriva à l’école [de Sarasota], personne dans l’assistance ne savait que plusieurs avions avaient été détournés (47-48).

26. L’omission du rapport selon lequel le Ministre de la Justice John Ashcroft fut averti d’arrêter de prendre des lignes aériennes commerciales avant le 11 Septembre (50).

27. L’omission de l’affirmation de David Schippers qu’il avait, sur la base d’informations fournies par des agents du FBI à propos d’attaques prévues dans le Sud de Manhattan, tenté en vain de transmettre cette information au Ministre de la Justice John Ashcroft pendant les 6 semaines précédant le 11 Septembre (51).

28. L’omission de toute mention que des agents du FBI auraient affirmé avoir eu connaissance des cibles et des dates des attaques [terroristes] longtemps à l’avance (51-52).

29. L’affirmation, par une réfutation circulaire qui présume la question résolue, que le volume inhabituel des achats d’options à la baisse avant le 11 Septembre n’impliquait pas que les acheteurs savaient à l’avance que les attaques se produiraient. (52-57)

30. L’omission des rapports selon lesquels le maire [de San Francisco] Willie Brown et certains responsables du Pentagone reçurent des mises en garde sur le fait de prendre l’avion le 11 Septembre (57).

31. L’omission du rapport selon lequel Oussama ben Laden, qui était déjà le criminel le plus recherché des États-Unis, fut traité en juillet 2001 par un docteur américain à l’hôpital américain de Dubai et y reçu la visite de l’agent local de la CIA (59).

32. L’omission des articles suggérant qu’après le 11 Septembre, l’armée américaine laissa délibérément Oussama ben Laden s’échapper (60).

33. L’omission de rapports, incluant celui sur la

visite par le chef des services de renseignements saoudiens à Oussama ben Laden à l’hôpital de Dubai, qui sont en contradiction avec la version officielle selon laquelle Oussama fut renié par sa famille et son pays (60-61).

34. L’omission du compte-rendu de Gerald Posner sur le témoignage de Abu Zubaydah, selon lequel trois membres de la famille royale saoudienne (qui périrent tous mystérieusement à huit jours d’intervalle) finançaient al-Qaida et avaient une connaissance anticipée des attaques du 11 Septembre (61-65).

35. Le démenti par la Commission d’avoir trouvé une preuve du financement d’al-Qaida par les Saoudiens (65-68).

36. Le démenti par la Commission d’avoir trouvé une preuve que de l’argent de la femme du Prince Bandar, la Princesse Haifa, alla à des agents d’al-Qaida (69-70).

37. Le démenti, en ignorant tout simplement la distinction entre vols privés et vols commerciaux, que le vol privé transportant des Saoudiens de Tampa à Lexington le 13 Septembre violait les règlements de l’espace aérien en vigueur à cette date (71-76).

38. Le démenti que des Saoudiens furent autorisés à quitter le territoire des États-Unis peu de temps après le 11 Septembre sans avoir été l’objet d’une enquête appropriée (76-82).

39. L’omission de la preuve que le Prince Bandar obtint une autorisation spéciale de la Maison-Blanche pour les vols des Saoudiens (82-86).

40. L’omission de l’affirmation de Coleen Rowley que des responsables au Q.-G. du FBI avait vu le mémo de Phoenix de l’agent Kenneth Williams (89-90).

41. L’omission du fait que l’agent du FBI à Chicago Robert Wright affirme que le Q.-G. du FBI referma son enquête sur une cellule terroriste, puis tenta de l’intimider pour l’empêcher de publier un livre relatant expériences (91).

42. L’omission de la preuve que le Q.-G. du FBI sabota la tentative de Coleen Rowley et d’autres agents [du FBI] de Minneapolis pour obtenir un mandat pour rechercher l’ordinateur de Zacarias Moussaoui (91-94).

43. L’omission des trois heures trente de déposition devant la Commission par Sibel Edmonds, ancienne traductrice au FBI, déposition qui selon une lettre rendue publique par elle et adressée au Président [de la Commission] Kean, révélait de sérieuses dissimulations de la part de responsables du FBI, en relation avec le 11 Septembre, et ce au Quartier Général même du FBI (94-101).

44. L’omission du fait que le Général Mahmoud Ahmad, le Chef de l’ISI [les Services de Renseignement Pakistanais], se trouvait à Washington une semaine avant le 11 Septembre, et rencontra le Directeur de la CIA George Tenet ainsi que d’autres haut-responsables étasuniens (103-04).

45. L’omission de la preuve que Ahmad, le Chef de l’ISI [les Services de Renseignement Pakistanais] avait ordonné l’envoi de $100,000 à Mohamed Atta avant le 11 Septembre (104- 07).

46. L’affirmation de la Commission qu’elle ne trouva aucune preuve qu’un seul gouvernement étranger, y compris le Pakistan, avait financé des agents d’al-Qaida (106).

47. L’omission du rapport selon lequel l’Administration Bush fit pression sur le Pakistan pour limoger Ahmad de son poste de Chef de l’ISI après la divulgation de l’information selon laquelle il avait ordonné l’envoi d’argent de l’ISI à Mohamed Atta (107-09).

48. L’omission de la preuve que l’ISI (et pas seulement al-Qaida) était derrière l’assassinat de Ahmad Shah Massoud (le commandant de l’Alliance du Nord en Afghanistan), qui se produisit juste après une rencontre qui dura une semaine entre des responsables de la CIA et de l’ISI (110-112).

49. L’omission de la preuve que l’ISI est impliqué dans l’enlèvement et le meurtre de Daniel Pearl, journaliste au Wall Street Journal (113).

50. L’omission du rapport de Gerald Posner selon lequel Abu Zubaydah affirma qu’un officier militaire pakistanais, Mushaf Ali Mir, ayant des liens étroits avec l’ISI et al-Qaida avait une connaissance anticipée des attaques du 11 Septembre (114).

51. L’omission de la prédiction faite en 1999 par Rajaa Gulum Abbas, un agent de l’ISI, que les Tours Jumelles « s’effondreraient » (114).

52. L’omission du fait que le Président Bush et d’autres membres de son Administration évoquèrent à plusieurs reprises les attaques du

11 Septembre comme des « opportunités » (116-17).

53. L’omission du fait que le Projet pour le Nouveau Siècle Américain (« The Project for the New American Century »), dont de nombreux membres devinrent des figures clés de l’Administration Bush, publia un document en 2000 disant qu’un « nouveau Pearl Harbour » aiderait à l’obtention de fonds pour une transformation technologique rapide de l’appareil militaire américain (117-18).

54. L’omission du fait que Donald Rumsfeld, qui était le président de la commission de l’US Space Command et avait recommandé l’accroissement du budget alloué, utilisa les attaques du 11 Septembre le soir même pour s’assurer de tels crédits (119-22).

55. Le fait de ne pas mentionner que les trois hommes responsables de l’échec à prévenir les attaques du 11 Septembre (le Ministre Rumsfeld, le Général Richard Myers, et le Général Ralph Eberhart) étaient également les trois principaux promoteurs de l’US Space Command (122).

56. L’omission du fait que Unocal avait déclaré que les Talibans ne pouvaient pas garantir une sécurité adéquate pour commencer la construction de ses pipelines (de pétrole et de gaz) depuis le bassin Caspien au travers de l’Afghanistan et du Pakistan (122-25).

57. L’omission du rapport selon lequel des représentants des États-Unis dirent à l’occasion d’une rencontre en juillet 2001 que, parce que les Talibans refusaient leur proposition de développer la construction d’un oléoduc, une guerre contre eux commenceraient en octobre (125-26).

58. L’omission du fait que dans son livre publié en 1997 Zbigniew Brzezinski avait écrit que pour que les États-Unis maintiennent leur primauté globale, ils avaient besoin du contrôle de l’Asie Centrale, avec ses vastes réserves de pétrole, et qu’un nouveau Pearl Harbour serait utile pour obtenir l’adhésion de l’opinion publique américaine à ces visées impériales (127-28).

59. L’omission du fait que des membres clés de l’Administration Bush, dont Donald Rumsfeld et son délégué Paul Wolfowitz, s’étaient démenés en faveur d’une nouvelle guerre contre l’Irak pendant de nombreuses années (129-33).

60. L’omission des notes des conversations de Donald Rumsfeld le 11 Septembre qui montrent qu’il était déterminé à utiliser les attaques comme un prétexte pour une guerre contre l’Irak (131-32).

61. L’omission de la déclaration contenue dans le Projet pour un Nouveau Siècle Américain que « le besoin pour une présence américaine forte dans le Golfe dépasse le sujet du régime de Saddam Hussein » (133-34).

62. L’affirmation que le protocole de la FAA (Federal Aviation Agency) au sujet du 11 Septembre requérait le long processus de passer par plusieurs étapes dans la chaîne de commandement, même si le Rapport Officiel [de la Commission] cite des preuves du contraire (158).

63. L’affirmation que ces jours-là, seules deux bases de l’US Air Force dans le secteur Nord- Est du NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command pour Centre de Commandement de la Défense de l’Aérospatial de l’Amérique du Nord) conservaient des chasseurs en alerte et qu’en particulier il n’y avait pas d’avions de combat en alerte à McGuire ou à Andrews (159-162).

64. L’omission du fait que la base Andrews de l’US Air Force convervait plusieurs avions de chasse en alerte de façon permanente (162-64).

65. L’acceptation de la double affirmation que le Colonel Marr du NEADS (North East Air Defense Sector) devait téléphoner à un supérieur pour obtenir la permission d’envoyer des chasseurs depuis [la base] d’Otis et que cet appel nécessita huit minutes (165-66).

66. L’approbation de l’affirmation que la perte du signal du transpondeur d’un avion rend virtuellement impossible sa localisation par for par les radars de l’armée américaine (166- 67).

67. L’affirmation que l’interception de Stewart Payne n’a pas montré que le temps de réponse du NORAD au vol AA11 fut extraordinairement lent (167-69).

68. L’affirmation que les chasseurs de la base d’Otis restèrent cloués au sol sept minutes après qu’ils en eurent reçu l’ordre parce qu’ils ne savaient pas où aller (174-75).

69. L’affirmation que l’armée américaine n’était pas informée du détournement du vol UA175 avant 9h03, moment exact où il percutait la tour Sud du WTC (181-82).

70. L’omission de toute explication sur (a) la raison pour laquelle un rapport antérieur du NORAD, selon lequel la FAA avait notifiée les militaires du détournement du vol UA175 à 8h43, était maintenant considéré comme faux et (b) comment ce rapport, s’il était faux, a pu être publié et ensuite laissé non corrigé pendant près de trois ans (182).

71. L’affirmation que la FAA n’a installé de téléconférence qu’à partir de 9h20 ce matin-là (183).

72. L’omission du fait qu’un mémo de Laura Brown de la FAA affirme que la téléconférence fut établie à environ 8h50 et qu’elle porta notamment sur le détournement du vol UA175 (183-84, 186).

73. L’affirmation que la téléconférence de la NMCC, (le Centre National de Commandement Militaire ou National Military Command Center) ne débuta pas avant 9h29 (186-88).

74. L’omission, dans l’affirmation de la Commission que le vol AA77 n’a pas dévié de sa course avant 8h54, du fait que des rapports précédents avaient annoncé 8h46 (189-90). 75. L’échec à mentionner que l’annonce du crash d’un jet dans le Kentucky, à peu près au moment où le vol AA77 disparaissait du radar de la FAA, fut prise suffisamment au sérieux par les responsables de la FAA et de l’unité du contre-terrorisme du FBI pour être relayée à la Maison-Blanche (190).

76. L’affirmation que le vol AA77 vola près de 40 minutes dans l’espace aérien américain en direction de Washington sans être détecté par les radars des militaires (191-92).

77. L’échec à expliquer, si le précédent rapport du NORAD selon lequel il fut notifié du vol AA77 à 9h24 était « incorrect », comment ce rapport erroné a pu voir le jour, c’est-à-dire, de savoir si les responsables du NORAD ont menti ou furent « embrouillés » pendant près de trois ans (192-93).

78. L’affirmation que les avions de combats de Langley, dont le NORAD avait tout d’abord dit qu’ils furent dépêchés pour intercepter le vol AA77, furent réellement déployés en réponse à un rapport erroné de la part d’un contrôleur (non-identifié) de la FAA à 9h21 que le vol AA11 était toujours en l’air et se dirigeait vers Washington (193-99).

79. L’affirmation que les militaires ne furent pas

contactés par la FAA à propos du probable détournement du vol AA77 avant que le Pentagone soit touché (204-12).

80. L’affirmation que Jane Garvey ne s’est pas jointe à la vidéoconférence de Richard Clarke avant 9h40, c’est-à-dire après que le Pentagone soit percuté (210).

81. L’affirmation qu’aucune des téléconférences ne parvint à coordonner la FAA et les réponses des militaires aux détournements parce « qu’aucune [d’elles] incluait les bons responsables au sein de la FAA et du Ministère de la Défense », bien que Richard Clarke dise que sa vidéoconférence incluait la Directrice de la FAA Jane Garvey comme le Ministre de la Défense Rumsfeld et le Général Richard Myers, le Chef des Forces Armées par intérim (211).

82. L’affirmation de la Commission qu’elle ne savait pas qui, au sein du Ministère de la Défense, participa à la vidéoconférence avec Richard Clarke alors que Clarke affirme dans son livre qu’il s’agissait de Donald Rumsfeld et du Général Myers (211-212). 83. L’approbation de l’affirmation du Général Myers qu’il se trouvait sur Capitol Hill pendant les attaques, sans mentionner le compte-rendu contradictoire de Richard Clarke, selon lequel Myers était au Pentagone et participait à la vidéoconférence avec Clarke (213-17).

84. L’échec à mentionner la contradiction entre le témoignage de Clarke au sujet de l’emploi du temps de Rumsfeld ce matin-là et les propres déclarations de Rumsfeld (217-19).

85. L’omission du témoignage du Ministre des Transports Norman Mineta, donné à la Commission elle-même, que le Vice-Président Cheney et les autres [personnes présentes] dans l’abri souterrain étaient avertis à 9h26 qu’un avion s’approchait du Pentagone (220).

86. L’affirmation que les responsables du

Pentagone ne savaient rien d’un avion s’approchant d’eux avant 9h32, 9h34, ou 9h36, et dans tous les cas seulement quelques minutes avant que le bâtiment soit touché (223).

87. L’acceptation de deux versions contradictoires au sujet de l’appareil qui percuta le Pentagone : une qui relate l’exécution d’une spirale à 330 degrés vers le bas (un « piqué à grande vitesse ») et une autre dans laquelle il n’est pas fait mention de cette manoeuvre (222-23).

88. L’affirmation que les avions de chasse de Langley, qui reçurent soit-disant l’ordre de décoller rapidement pour protéger Washington contre le « vol fantôme AA11 » n’étaient nulle part près de Washington parce qu’ils furent envoyés vers l’océan par erreur (223-24).

89. L’omission de toutes les preuves suggérant que ce qui frappa le Pentagone n’était pas le vol AA77 (224-25).

90. L’affirmation que les militaires ne furent pas informés par la FAA du détournement du vol UA93 avant qu’il ne s’écrase (227-29, 232, 253).

91. La double affirmation que le NMCC n’a pas contrôlé la conférence initiée par la FAA et donc fut incapable de connecter la FAA à la téléconférence initiée par le NMCC (230-31).

92. L’omission du fait que les Services Secrets sont capables de savoir tout ce que sait la FAA (233).

93. L’omission de toute enquête sur les raisons pour lesquelles le NMCC lança sa propre téléconférence, si, comme Laura Brown de la FAA l’a dit, cela n’est pas le protocole standard (234).

94. L’omission de toute enquête sur les raisons pour lesquelles le Général Montague Winfield fut non seulement remplacé par un « bleu » (a rookie), le Capitaine Leidig, en tant que Directeur des Opérations du NMCC mais encore l’a laissé au commandement quand il fut clair que le Pentagone était confronté à une crise sans précédent (235-36).

95. L’affirmation que la FAA notifia (de façon erronée) les Services Secrets entre 10h10 et 10h15 que le vol UA93 était encore dans le ciel et se dirigeait vers Washington (237).

96. L’affirmation que le Vice-Président Cheney ne donna l’autorisation de tir qu’après 10h10 (plusieurs minutes après que le vol UA93 se fut écrasé) et que cette autorisation ne fut pas transmise à l’armée US avant 10h31 (237-41).

97. L’omission de toutes les preuves indiquant que le vol UA93 fut abattu par un avion militaire (238-39, 252-53).

98. L’affirmation que [le Tsar du Contre-Terrorisme] Richard Clarke ne reçut la demande d’autorisation de tir qu’à 10h25 (240).

99. L’omission du propre témoignage de Clarke, qui suggère qu’il reçut cette demande d’autorisation de tir vers 9h50 (240).

100. L’affirmation que Cheney ne gagna l’abri souterrain du PEOC [ou CPOU pour Centre Présidentiel d’Opérations d’Urgence]) qu’à 9h58 (241-44).

101. L’omission de multiples témoignages, dont celui de Norman Mineta [le Ministre des Transports] à la Commission elle-même, que [le Vice-Président] Cheney se trouvait dans le CPOU avant 9h20 (241-44).

102. L’affirmation que l’autorisation d’abattre un avion civil devait être donnée par le Président (245).

103. L’omission de rapports que le Colonel Marr donna l’ordre d’abattre le vol UA93 et que le Général Winfield indiqua que lui et d’autres [officiers] au NMCC s’attendaient à ce qu’un chasseur atteigne le vol UA93 (252).

104. L’omission de rapports indiquant qu’il y avait deux avions de chasse dans le ciel à quelques kilomètres de New York et trois à seulement 320 kilomètres de Washington (251).

105. L’omission du fait qu’il existait au moins six bases militaires avec des chasseurs en état d’alerte dans la région Nord-Est des États-Unis (257-58).

106. L’approbation de l’affirmation du Général Myers que le NORAD avait défini sa mission en termes de défense seulement contre des menaces dirigées [vers les Etats-Unis] depuis l’étranger (258-62).

107. L’approbation de l’affirmation du Général Myers que le NORAD n’avait pas envisagé la possibilité que des terroristes pourraient utiliser des avions de ligne détournés comme des missiles (262-63).

108. L’échec de mettre en perspective la signification du fait, présenté dans le Rapport lui-même, ou de mentionner d’autres faits prouvant que le NORAD avait effectivement envisagé la menace posée par des avions de ligne détournés d’être utilisés comme des missiles (264- 67).

109. L’échec de sonder les implications de la question de savoir comment les manoeuvres militaires (« war games ») programmées ce jour-là purent influer sur l’échec des militaires à intercepter les avions de ligne détournés (268-69).

110. L’échec de discuter la pertinence possible de l’Opération Northwoods avec les attaques du 11 Septembre (269-71).

111. L’affirmation (présentée pour expliquer pourquoi les militaires n’obtinrent pas l’information au sujet des avions détournés à temps pour les intercepter) que le personnel de la FAA inexplicablement faillit à suivre les procédures standards quelques 16 fois (155-56, 157, 179, 180, 181, 190, 191, 193, 194, 200, 202-03, 227, 237, 272-75).

112. L’échec de mentionner que l’indépendance proclamée de la Commission fut fatalement compromise par le fait que Philip Zelikow, son directeur exécutif, était virtuellement un membre de l’Administration Bush (7-9, 11-12, 282-84). (ndt : un proche collaborateur de Mme. Condoleeza Rice)

113. L’échec de mentionner que la Maison-Blanche chercha d’abord à empêcher la création de la Commission [Officielle d’Enquête sur les Attaques Terroristes du 11 Septembre], puis plaça de nombreux obstacles sur sa route, comme le fait de lui accorder un budget extrêmement restreint (283-85). (ndt : estimé à environ 15 millions de dollars, quand le film de fiction « Vol 93 » de Paul Greengrass en a coûté 18, et « World Trade Centre » d’Oliver Stone 4 FOIS PLUS soit 60 millions de dollars ; concernant le premier point, il a fallu attendre 441 jours pour que cette Commission soit créée et M. Bush proposa que M. Kissinger en soit le président…avant de se rétracter sous les critiques virulentes de l’opinion publique.)

114. L’échec de mentionner que le Président de la Commission, la plupart des autres Commissionnaires, et qu’au moins la moitié du personnel avait de sérieux conflits d’intérêt (285-90, 292-95).

115. L’échec de la Commission, qui se vantait que la présentation de son rapport final s’était faite « sans dissension », de mentionner que cela n’avait été possible que parce que Max Cleland, le Commissionnaire le plus critique à l’encontre de la Maison-Blanche qui jura « qu’il ne serait pas complice d’un traitement partial des informations » dut démissionner pour accepter un poste à la Banque Export-Import, et que la Maison-Blanche transmit sa nomination seulement après qu’il soit devenu très direct dans ses critiques (290-291).

Je terminerai en précisant que j’ai conclu mon étude de ce que je suis venu à appeler « le rapport de Kean-Zelikow » en écrivant ceci : Au final, le Rapport de la Commission d’enquête sur le 11 septembre, loin de chasser mes soupçons sur une complicité officielle ne servit qu’à les confirmer. Pourquoi les responsables chargés de la rédaction de ce rapport final s’engageraient dans une telle entreprise de supercherie, si ce n’était pour tenter de couvrir de très grands crimes ? (291).

Taiwan’s Ex-President On China, Nuclear Power And ‘The Most Stupid Policy In The World’

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou, interviewed on Nov. 23 in Taipei, said he wears this T-shirt, with the logo "Nuclear can help," because he believes nuclear plants can meet Taiwan's power needs with technology that's better for the environment.

TAIPEI, Taiwan ― Like much of the world, Ma Ying-jeou believes Taiwan is part of China, destined to eventually, someday, reunify with the mainland.

As president of the self-governing island from 2008 to 2016, he pushed for more trade to integrate the two economies. In 2015, Ma held a historic summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, becoming the first Taiwanese leader to meet his Beijing counterpart since the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949.

Ma’s successor, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, takes a different view. Her Democratic Progressive Party believes Taiwan should remain a de facto sovereign nation. While China has grown more authoritarian under Xi, Taiwan ranks alongside countries like Iceland and Estonia for transparency and democratic openness, far ahead of the United States. And though Tsai has stopped short of triggering potential war by declaring independence or formally disavowing the country’s official title of “Republic of China,” her administration has hewn closely to the U.S. as the global superpower increasingly jockeys with Beijing for military and economic supremacy in Asia.

You might think then that Ma’s approach to his country’s energy problems would be to make Taiwan more dependent on China while Tsai would seek a system capable of withstanding whatever blockade or amphibious invasion the People’s Liberation Army might attempt.

You’d be wrong. Among the biggest policy differences between the Chinese nationalist Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party is on what Taiwan’s two biggest parties want to do with the country’s four nuclear power plants.

An ardent supporter of atomic energy, Ma tried to complete construction on Taiwan’s fourth and most advanced nuclear power station to date, though he ultimately caved during an election year to anti-nuclear protesters’ demand to pause work on the plant.

Longmen Nuclear Power Plant, shown on Nov. 23, in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The plant has never opened.

After taking office in 2017, the Tsai administration went in the opposite direction, passing a law mandating the phaseout of all nuclear energy by 2025. The government aims to generate most of the highly industrialized republic’s electricity from fossil fuels, particularly natural gas and coal. Tsai had promised that wind and solar would help make up for the zero-carbon generation lost when the nuclear reactors shut down. But those renewables today generate a tiny sliver of Taiwan’s power, almost certainly putting even the government’s revised-down goals out of reach.

The debate over nuclear energy mirrors those in South Korea and Japan, but there’s an extra element at play here: Taiwan’s precarious statehood. Unlike those two East Asian neighbors, who represent themselves at the United Nations and can count on the U.S. military to defend them, most of the world recognizes China’s claim to Taiwan. And Washington remains committed, at least on paper, to its policy of “strategic ambiguity” as to whether and how it would fight to defend an island whose government it works with but does not formally recognize.

Despite all the punditry drawing parallels with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it’s impossible to definitively predict how a Chinese takeover of Taiwan might pan out.

But some things are certain. Taiwan has only a week’s worth of natural gas in storage, and a blockade like the one that followed a controversial visit last summer by then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would send gas barges scrambling away from Taiwanese ports. Coal similarly requires steady imports to the island. Same with oil. And while China can’t darken the sun or halt the wind, Taiwan has limited space and resources for solar panels, turbines and batteries, and their supply chains also overwhelmingly run through the mainland.

By contrast, nuclear reactors can pump out steady carbon-free electricity for two years or more without needing fresh uranium fuel.

I interviewed Ma toward the end of a two-week trip to Taiwan in November, during which I spoke with executives, activists and academics about what could happen if the government successfully ends atomic energy production in the next two years.

Professor Tsung-Kuang Yeh, a nuclear scientist at the National Tsing Hua University, has become an outspoken advocate of saving Taiwan's nuclear reactors since the current government's shutdown policy went into effect.

Among them was Tsung-kuang Yeh, a prominent nuclear engineer and professor at the National Tsing Hua University. He asked if I would be interested in meeting one-on-one with former President Ma to speak about this issue. On Nov. 23, two days before my return flight to New York, I drove with Yeh to the office in a glassy Taipei tower where Ma’s foundation is headquartered.

Ma’s assistant served boba milk tea and, after a few minutes, Ma strode into the conference room with a big grin as he pointed two index fingers at his chest. His blue T-shirt featured polar bears and the English words “Nuclear can help.”

We spoke for more than an hour. His staff had been hesitant about me asking about anything other than nuclear energy, but Ma answered every question, touching on his party’s authoritarian past, growing tensions with Beijing and why he doesn’t think Taiwan should be compared to Hong Kong.

The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.

I want to start with a question about what Taiwan is. Many of my readers in the U.S. might not have a full understanding of Taiwan’s status in the world, its statehood. There’s a book I read before coming here that compared Taiwan to Israel, the “Israel of the East,” a small country with powerful friends in the West, a world-class technology sector and military prowess.

But a comparison I have thought about a lot during my time here, and one that’s very close to my heart, is with Puerto Rico, an archipelago whose sovereignty is controlled by a nearby superpower and whose party politics revolve around questions of status. Where do you feel Taiwan falls between those two places? Are those similarities correct?

Usually the world sees Taiwan as a small country facing a big enemy. As you know, we had a civil war with the communists in the late 1940s. Eventually we lost the mainland and moved to Taiwan. In the last almost 70 years, we’ve built an economy which is unparalleled in many ways. Particularly in high technology. A lot of countries actually depend on the supply of [semiconductor] chips from Taiwan. In addition to that, we also showed the world that we’re able to build Taiwan and feed 23 million people and educate them. This is something we’re proud of. But, of course, we have encountered many difficulties: Our relationship with the mainland, our energy problems and a lot of others.

No matter what the problems and how difficult they are, I think we have accomplished a lot in the last 70 years, ever since we came here in 1949. We’re proud of our accomplishments, but we also understand the difficulties we’ve had.

Another country Taiwan is frequently compared to these days is Ukraine. Do you see that as a fair analogy?

Not quite, because Ukraine is connected with the Soviets by land. We’re separated from the Chinese mainland by the Taiwan Strait. It’s more than 100 nautical miles. On the one hand, this is part of our defense. On the other hand, in case we had military difficulties, we have no place to go. That is why wisdom is very important in dealing with a strong neighbor. We speak the same language. We have relatives over there. So we hope we can avoid a war. We have to make all the necessary preparations for war. But we have to try to avoid it and try to seek peace.

This is actually the essence of my administration from 2008 to 2016. Before that, we had very little contact with the mainland. When I became president, I tried to establish a relationship never before seen in this part of the world. We concluded 23 agreements with the mainland, covering almost all walks of life. Eventually I had an opportunity to meet with their leader, Mr. Xi Jinping, in Singapore, and we agreed we should solve our differences through peaceful means. I told him, ‘Listen, we’re building a great bridge of peace across the Taiwan Strait. As long as we follow the traffic rules, either side could use it.’ This is what I accomplished as president.

Unfortunately, after I stepped down, everything changed. Just giving you an example: An important newsmagazine, The Economist, in their editorial in 2015, they said the meeting between Taiwan and mainland Chinese leaders is the biggest concession the mainland Chinese made regarding the status of Taiwan.

That was 2015. Six years later, in 2021, the same magazine had as its cover story: Taiwan, the most dangerous place on Earth. What happened in the six years? Well, the change of government. The policy of the current government made us face this difficult situation.

Can you explain what the 1992 consensus is and what it means today?

The ’92 consensus is the consensus that binds the two sides together. Mainland China says there’s one China ― they’re that one China. We say the same. Both of us believe in the one-China principle but differ on its interpretation. So the ’92 consensus means one China, respective interpretations.

Of course, the current government in Taiwan does not accept that. They have an even more difficult situation with the mainland than we did in those years. The ’92 consensus is the very important common political basis for our relationship.

How would you summarize your interpretation of the ’92 consensus?

This concerns the respective constitution of the two sides. In our constitution, it says that currently China has two parts: Taiwan and the mainland. The mainland’s says the ’92 consensus is the compass of our relationship. Both sides attach a lot of importance to that concept, because either side of the Taiwan Strait maintains that there is only one China, and Taiwan is part of that China, though we differ on the interpretation.

You can see a comparison in the two Germanys before 1972. As you know, in 1972, the two sides of Germany reached an agreement. In English it’s called the [Basic Treaty]. In German, it’s Grundvertrag. That’s how they define each other. That agreement was able to maintain peaceful relations between the two sides in Germany, and eventually they were reunified in 1990.

We don’t know if we’ll be reunited with the mainland or not. But at least the existence of the ’92 consensus gives the two sides a reason to treat the other side peacefully.

Going off that ― and I only just learned this while I was here ― but the U.S. once proposed that Taiwan and China should have two separate seats at the U.N. At the time, Taiwanese leader Chiang Kai-shek said he didn’t want that and that reunification with the mainland would eventually happen. In hindsight, was that the right decision?

Reunification is still very far from us because we need to do a lot of things before we can do that. The most important thing is to maintain a peaceful relationship, otherwise nothing can be done. What I did from 2008 to 2016 was to build that basis of relationship. People asked me: Why didn’t you sign a peace treaty with the mainland? I said, I have signed 22 peace treaties. All these agreements, without peace, cannot be accomplished.

So, only one seat at the U.N. was still the appropriate pathway, you think?

We haven’t reached that point yet. The mainland would never allow Taiwan to become independent.

On the other hand, they want to incorporate Taiwan now. Obviously right now the people of Taiwan do not accept that either. It’s important for the two sides to at least maintain the kind of relationship I helped establish from 2008 to 2016, what I called a peaceful development relationship. Whether we can go from there to reunification is something else that takes time. But at least we have to make the relationship peaceful.

You were born in Hong Kong. Obviously the crackdown there since 2019 has changed a lot of people’s views about the reality of “one country, two systems.” Has what we’ve seen in the Special Administrative Region changed your view of what is possible with the mainland?

Hong Kong shouldn’t be a good example for Taiwan because Hong Kong used to be a British colony. Taiwan isn’t any other country’s colony.

In Hong Kong, before they were part of the mainland, they had freedom and rule of law, but they didn’t have democracy. This is very different from Taiwan. We have all three of these things in Taiwan.

You have called Taiwan under President Tsai an “illiberal democracy.” Can you explain that?

This idea is from Fareed Zakaria, who used to be a writer for Foreign Affairs, in a book called ”The Future of Freedom.” If a leader who was popularly elected but, once inaugurated, starts to end his own term or to criticize or squeeze the opposition party, then the country is no longer a liberal democracy. It becomes an illiberal democracy. I’m afraid Taiwan is going through that process.

You’re probably not aware, but about three years ago one of our TV news stations was shut down by the government.

Which one?

Chung T’ien Television. It was in 2020. [Taiwanese regulators declined to renew the pro-China station’s broadcast license over its alleged repeated airing of what the government called disinformation.]This is really incredible. No free or democratic country ever did that.

In December 2020, one of the professors in National Taiwan University was taken by the police to the police station and interrogated for about two to three hours because he criticized the government’s cultural policy. For me, this is unthinkable. It doesn’t sound like a democratic country. There are quite a few examples, which I assemble here. This is what Fareed Zakaria believes are symptoms of illiberal democracy.

ormer President Ma Ying-jeou said it takes time for people to understand the importance of nuclear energy. "Fortunately, in the last couple of years, the situation is getting much clearer and clearer, that the world cannot survive without nuclear power."

Taiwan has consistently scored above my own country, the United States, on rankings like the Freedom House, the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Bertelsmann Transformation Index and the Varieties of Democracy’s Liberal Democracy Index. In fact, three out of those four saw an increase in Taiwan’s ranking in the years since you left office. The fourth, BTI, stayed constant. So, what do you think that those scores are missing?

In the last couple of years, many people in the United States have considered that American democracy is also in crisis. Your people say this is no longer the United States of America, it’s the Divided States of America.

Again, do you think these rankings I listed are ignoring the incidents you’ve highlighted of illiberalism?

That’s right. When people have power, sometimes they abuse it. But they have to understand it takes many people’s efforts to have democracy. So they have to be very careful in using their power.

You held this historic meeting with Xi Jinping. What do you think is the biggest misconception people in the West have of the Chinese leader?

China, everybody knows, it’s a dictatorship. In dealing with mainland China, we certainly have to be careful. But we also have to be fully cognizant that there should be only one China, although we do have different conceptions of what that one China is. On that basis, the two sides can talk to each other and even make some progress on the relationship. The issue of reunification is not an easy one, and it takes many years to accomplish.

I’m sure you have read the book by Grant Addison, ”Destined for War.” He studied 12 or 16 cases of European countries to show that war is inevitable. I told him that in China, we had a history of 4,600 years, and 70% of the time China was unified. The other 30% it was divided. From unification to division, or from division to unification, it always took war.

We, as the offsprings of those ancient people, should be smarter than they are. We should learn how to solve disputes in a peaceful way. This is what I told Mr. Xi Jinping in Singapore, face to face. I told him that, where we sit with “one China, respective interpretations,” we will not interpret that as “two Chinas,” “one China, one Taiwan” or “Taiwan independence.” We do this not to please you. Rather, this is just not tolerated in our constitution. We have to find another way to accommodate each other’s differences in a peaceful way. I’m confident we can do this.

I want to switch to energy now. Nuclear power once provided more than half the electricity in Taiwan. Now it’s down to about 10%, and the government plans to phase it out completely by 2025. What do you see as the biggest motivator for the “nuclear-free homeland” policy we’re seeing implemented now?

If I understand correctly, the nuclear-free homeland idea came up when President Tsai Ing-wen was chairwoman of the DPP. So, 11 years ago. At the time, what happened in Fukushima [the 2011 disaster at the nuclear plant in Japan] really scared everyone. The DPP from the very beginning was opposed to nuclear power.

For a country like Taiwan, nuclear power is so important. We started using it about 40 years ago, and we’ve had a relatively good system. I don’t know if you have seen the report by the International Atomic Energy Agency [on countries’ “unit capacity factor,” a measure of how efficiently nuclear plant operators are running reactors]. There are 31 countries in the world that have nuclear power. We have actually been among the top five in the world for quite a while. That means we have actually outperformed at our plants at roughly 90%. This is something we’re proud of.

I met with President Tsai six years ago, after she was first elected. We had a meeting about the transition. I said, “You’ve got to understand, you plan to amass 20% of energy to renewables, but this is not possible.” Bloomberg Intelligence predicted Taiwan can do only about 9%. My economic minister said no more than 10%. But Tsai wants to have 20% by 2025. I think that’s not possible.

Her response was shocking. She said, “My energy expert told me it is possible.”

That’s convenient.

What happened next is, a year later, we had nationwide blackouts in 2017. So far we’ve had five of these big blackouts, precisely because we do have an electricity problem.

It was in 2014, when you were still president, that the fourth plant was mothballed. I imagine you intended that to be temporary?

The decision was made by me. The reason being, at the time, there was a big difference between the two parties. I thought, maybe we should make that decision sometime later. I thought, this is the right decision, at least to avoid the imminent clash between the two political parties.

We believe that after a while we may be able to do it again. But it takes time.

When you say “clash between the two parties,” do you mean you were concerned it would take an electoral toll on your party if you did not postpone the power plant?

Yes. There was a very acute clash between the two parties. At the time, people thought nuclear power was really dangerous. They didn’t understand we’ve done very, very well ever since we’ve had nuclear power.

So you were hoping that, in the two years, the KMT would be reelected and you could help educate people in the interim?

Yes. It takes time for people to understand how important nuclear power is. Fortunately, in the last couple of years, the situation is getting much clearer and clearer, that the world cannot survive without nuclear power. That’s the reason I wear this T-shirt.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi had a similar message at the U.N. climate summit in Egypt just last week.

Earlier this week, I was on Lanyu, where a past KMT government decided to store low-level radioactive waste. Once the indigenous Tao people discovered what was going on at the facility, which I actually just visited yesterday, they protested, and it helped to fuel the anti-nuclear movement. What do you think that the government could have done differently back then? Was it a mistake to put the waste on Lanyu in the first place?

When we did it, it was more than 30 years ago. After 30 years, people there and elsewhere understand it’s not as risky as people thought. This is very important. People there certainly now hope the waste will stay so they continue to get the subsidies. We’re looking for other places in order to deposit the nuclear waste. But people understand it’s not as dangerous as they thought.

One of the arguments I’ve been hearing a lot from anti-nuclear people is that there’s not any room to store the waste. It makes me wonder if there’s enough room, then, for all the renewables you need to replace nuclear power. Do you think that there is enough room to keep what spent fuel you have and continue to produce nuclear energy?

The current government’s policy to develop renewable energy to replace nuclear power is, I think, the most stupid policy in the world. No country has done that. Why? Because nuclear power is considered green energy already.

We should use renewable energy to replace coal or natural gas. But not nuclear.

What do you think of the current government plan to become more dependent on liquefied natural gas? I know they’re building a new import terminal in Taoyuan County. What are your biggest concerns with that plan?

Just recently, when our president talked to the Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dr. Lee Yuan-tseh, the Nobel winner asked the president: “If you do this, what will happen in 2025?” Her answer was really shocking. She said, “Well, my term ends in 2024, so anything after that, I don’t know. I won’t be responsible.”

This is their problem: I don’t know whether they are fully aware. In Taiwan, we should develop renewable energy for sure. Actually, I was the person who pushed for the enactment of the 2009 Renewable Energy Development Act. But Taiwan’s natural conditions are not really that good for either solar or wind. Nuclear power is still very important to Taiwan. The percentage of nuclear should be at least 20% [of the national energy mix]. Renewables can hardly reach 20%. Maybe they can do 15%. I hope we can be able to have more nuclear energy that can better serve our country.

Taiwan is an economy that cannot just be stopped even temporarily without electricity.

The DPP was founded the same year as the Chernobyl disaster, so I’ve heard the argument that this has always been part of the party’s founding mythology. I’ve also heard the argument that the DPP perceives nuclear power as a partisan issue, something that the KMT pursued and which you must be against if you’re against the KMT.

In a way, it’s become the ideology of the DPP. They believed that this was a bad thing for Taiwan from the very beginning. But they fail to find out what else we can do if we lack the conditions to develop renewable energy. Certainly we’d be happy if we could develop as much renewable energy as the DPP thought they could. But it’s not the case.

When people say they’re afraid of earthquakes or afraid of Fukushima, what do you say? Like Japan, Taiwan sits within the seismic Ring of Fire. Is there something fundamentally different about Taiwan’s nuclear power plants that makes a situation like Fukushima unlikely here?

If you knew Fukushima, you’d understand there’s no single person who died out of contamination of radioactivity. Not a single one. This is also true in Taiwan. We have had nuclear power for more than 40 years. There’s no single person who’s died from radioactivity. But there are a few people who just don’t like the truth. There’s even some DPP politicians who keep finding some geological fault regarding the location of the nuclear power plant. I think it’s just very stupid.

Are you aware that nuclear power plant No. 4 was under their supervision and, because of the budgetary problems, Ms. Tsai actually increased their subsidy in order to make it work?

The DPP itself probably had an anti-nuclear ideology. But after so many years, people should understand this is really a myth. I don’t know why they still stick to it.

What about the hunger strike protest at the time, which had garnered a lot of attention?

You’re talking about the DPP politician? Lin Yi-hsiung?

Yes.

You have to understand, Mr. Lin has been deified. He’s been treated like a god. Whatever he says, people have to follow. That makes it even more difficult to solve the problem.

But I’m sure after so many years people are starting to understand nuclear power is no longer something very dangerous.

In hindsight, is there a way you wish you could have responded to those protests at the time? Could you have prevented him from being deified?

The reason why I mothballed the nuclear power plant was precisely because I wanted to avoid the forthcoming clash between the people. On the fourth nuclear power plant, we still had some work to do, so we could wait for a while. But after so many years, after so many debates, I think people now understand nuclear power isn’t that bad. If we really want to move Taiwan ahead, we have to use it.

I imagine nuclear power will be part of the KMT’s platform in two years.

Of course.

What would you say to a regular voter to persuade them? How prominent do you imagine the energy issues being in that campaign two years from now?

It’s now a little easier than before to convince people that we need nuclear power because renewables, as we said, do not come so easily. They have their own problems, too. We have to have an economy with multiple energies: renewables, coal, natural gas. They all should have their respective place in the energy picture. To get rid of nuclear power isn’t very feasible or smart. It has a lot to do with, as I said, ideology.

But if you look at what happened more than 10 years ago, even the current president asked the nuclear plant supervisor to work harder to achieve our target and offered to give more money to complete the construction. This is so political that it makes people think, “Don’t trust those politicians.”

Will the deployment of small modular reactors change perceptions and make it easier to build new nuclear reactors again?

I believe so, but it takes some time for the training and to help people understand SMRs. Our American friends may be able to help us with this. Then we wouldn’t have to build a big nuclear plant, which is not so welcome by the people living nearby.

We have several science parks, which are very important in our computer and other industries. For things like that, having the small reactors would make nuclear more marketable.

Some big manufacturers in Taiwan are looking at building small modular reactors abroad, maybe in the Philippines, with hopes that someday, if policy changes in Taiwan, they can bring the technology home. Are you concerned that that demonstrates a loss of economic competitiveness for Taiwan, especially as its neighbors, such as Japan, South Korea and China, embrace nuclear energy?

The general trend of the world is quite clear. If you look at what happened in South Korea and Japan, they have their own independent energy systems. Taiwan is the same.

Look at what happened in Germany. Germany was the country that led the fight against nuclear power after the Fukushima incident. They were supposed to phase out all of the nuclear power plants by the end of this year. But they’ll have some delays now to make sure they get through the winter. The Ukraine war makes it very clear that energy becomes a weapon. Germany learned that lesson. And this is even with a coalition government where the Green Party plays an important role, I think even the economic minister is a Green.

That’s right. Robert Habeck.

They have gone so far as to phase out later instead of sooner. This is something not so easy. Everybody learned something in the process.

I want to ask one more question related to Ukraine. Right now, as you said, Russia is waging war against Ukraine through what the Financial Times recently referred to as a “blackout blitz.” That’s both in terms of just bombing electrical infrastructure and limiting how much natural gas is flowing to Ukraine’s allies. Are you worried that increased reliance on natural gas could be used as a weapon against Taiwan?

Of course!

What do you say to people who say, “If war comes, we don’t want there to be a nuclear power plant that could be bombed”?

People in Taiwan have so far appreciated the lessons Ukraine has taught us, particularly concerning liquefied natural gas. As you know, under the DPP’s energy blueprint, LNG will occupy 50% of the energy mix. We import all the LNG from Middle East countries. We produce nothing.

That could become a very important weakness of our national security. Mainland China doesn’t even have to fire a shot. They could just announce: “Stop exporting LNG to Taiwan” and suddenly we cannot cook! It’s not a question of the military but of our households. It’s very important that we know we have to become a multi-energy country. Coal has to be reduced as much as possible. Natural gas, you cannot really let 50% of your energy supply depend on LNG.

You have had a very blunt attitude about what a military conflict would be like with China. The phrase you have used is: “The first fight would be the last.” I think all Taiwanese agree that war must be absolutely avoided. Do you really think defense is pointless? What role does energy play in deterrence?

Generally people in Taiwan now do not appreciate the problem of energy’s place in our national security. Maybe it’ll take a little while for them to understand. But we have to keep in mind that we can’t let energy like natural gas occupy 50% of the picture. We import 100% from abroad. That could kill us. Sooner or later, people will have to understand nuclear power is much more dependable than fossil fuels.

Is nuclear power a better deterrent than F-16s?

Look at what happened in Germany. When Germany said it wanted to phase out all the nuclear power plants by 2022, they seemed so confident it would happen. But it changed. And, I’m sure you know, the price of electricity in Germany is five times that of Taiwan.

If we depend so much on fossil fuel, we certainly will have the same problem. The price of electricity will go up 30%, maybe even 45%. What happened in the world over the past couple of years gradually made people appreciate that the role of nuclear energy is very different than what they thought before.

I’d like to end on a lighter note. What do you think is Taiwan’s greatest cultural export? Is there one thing you love particularly ― one food dish, one piece of music or art or a movie from Taiwan that you think the rest of the world should enjoy?

Ever since we started our relations with the mainland, the popular songs of the two sides have become an important part of life. One of our singers, Deng Lijun, actually occupied the minds of many, many mainland Chinese.

Nowadays, there’s another mainland Chinese singer, Hong Qi, a young man who wrote about a love affair in Xinjiang in a remote area. It’s been sung by several billion people. It’s really incredible. The cultural bonds of the two sides make it a very important element of our relationship.

When Taiwanese songs became very popular on the mainland, the name of the singer was Deng, like [the former Chinese leader responsible for reopening the country to global trade] Deng Xiaoping. They called the lady “small Deng” and him “Big Deng.” That’s the sort of thing that binds us together. We should continue to do that.

What is one phrase in Mandarin that you wish Americans knew?

I was told that on an occasion when mainland philosophers and educators met from different cultures, just like you asked, everyone was asked to pick just one sentence. Eventually the one that got the approval of almost everyone in Chinese was: 己所不欲，勿施於人。

“If you don’t want something, don’t force someone to do it.”

It’s something everyone believes is important. It’s from Confucius, someone who existed more than 2,500 years ago.

And yet relevant today still.

They give us many, many good lessons, even in areas of ecology. Mencius was also a disciple of Confucius and says you should not use fish nets that are so small that you cannot let all other species of fish go, that that will actually kill the fish.

When I studied the law of the sea at Harvard University, I understood that in the year 1990, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution that forbade the use of drift nets. You know what a drift net is? It’s a very big net that grabs almost everything, even seabirds. So they said no North Pacific countries should allow the fishing boats to use that. I looked at that and said, God, we had this 2,600 years ago. In the time of the Zhou dynasty, every fisherman, if he caught a small fish, he’d have to give it back to the sea. At the time, people were ecologically so advanced.

It feels like we’re relearning a lot now.

When I was the mayor of Taipei City, we were supposed to have a ceremony for Confucius every year on his birthday. I’d repeat that story and say, “Don’t believe that ancient people are stupid.” They are not. They have ideas that we do not have in our society about nature. This is something that shows how important and how great Chinese culture is.

¶

In the year 2250 A.D. historians will look back (with their 100Mpx photon-sensors) on graphic design as a profession connected to the short period of 20th century industrial printing. In a more timeless manner it could be said that graphic design is the of placing and organizing symbols on a 2D surface. A discipline obsessed with flatness. Although ink-on-paper is no longer culturally or commercially hot this basic act is certainly still relevant. Ex-graphic designers are migrating to a new Flatland – the crystal clear display of a tablet or phone – and learn to co-exist with the unclean masses of Web Designers and Photoshop-users in order to survive.

¶

Graphic design is a process of flattening, simplifying and ordering. 2D representations of reality are arranged on a symbolic surface. In order to present a clear and striking visual image contradictions need to be resolved and confusing details removed. From nuanced shading to smooth vector shapes. A dangerous operation.

¶

The screen is the interface between the individual and the world. The point where the Cloud meets the dirt of human existence. Reality is constantly passing back and forth at this intersection. The user looking, touching, caressing, tenderly swiping, her reflection overlaid on top of the projection of the Other. Narcissus bent over his pool, seeing a dark shadow passing overhead. Flesh becomes images and images become flesh in a hi-speed HD cybernetic loop. The designer plays a intermediary role: optimizing the image for viral circulation and high clickability – using her skilled labour to shape the fluid, shapeshifting grids that we pour ourselves into.

¶

The one-milli pictureplane is our public space. This is where social interactions take place, where low as well as high human emotions and desires are expressed with very real consequences. The Facebook-Like and the precision strike of a MQ-1 Predator are opposite points of the spectrum of human relations. The user gazing into her smartphone – the drone pilot looking at a screen in a command centre far away from where the actual violence takes place. A smooth gradient from the round-corner-rectangle marking the face of a friend in the social network to the crosshair marking the body of an enemy. The Terrorist is the opposite of the Facebook-Friend. The 0 to the 1. The Yin to the Yang. Complexities reduced to pure black or white and snapped to the grid. Either you’re a FFriend or you’re not-human.

¶

In representative democracy the politician play a similar role to the designer. His job is to listen to the citizen/client and present a clear and simple Solution to the Problem. The citizen does not act – the politician represents him and acts in his place. Both politicians and designers are middlemen, service providers. They both try to justify their positions while claiming that their hands are tied by the market and complaining that there is nothing to be done about it.

¶

2013. Everyone is an image producer. Torrents put the tools of the trade in the hands of the amateurs. At the same time the net has become centralized to a few major corporations who capture the value of the creative labour of its users. The wild frontier days are long gone. Our desire to be connected is monetized within sophisticated social grids. The Harlem Shake Meme is exposed as not a spontaneous expression of the global subconscious but the product of a viral marketing group owned by Youtube. In this situation the role of the cultural Prosumer educated for the old-world profession of the Graphic Designer should be to use this knowledge to propose alternatives and to make them visible. Direct Action on the thin border between the possible and the real.

Horch 853 Spezialroadster vers 1937

Châssis n° 853177

Moteur n° 851234

•Marque allemande de prestige

•L'une des 950 construites

•Entièrement restaurée par Horch Classic

•Boîte cinq rapports

August Horch, l'un des pères fondateurs de l'industrie automobile allemande, était né à Winningen en 1868 et, après des études techniques dans une école d'ingénieur, avait travaillé pour un constructeur de moteurs marins à Leipzig. Il dirigea ensuite l'usine de moteurs de Kral Benz à Mannheim, mais sa frustration devant l'approche conservatrice de son patron le poussa à chercher des fonds pour monter sa propre entreprise. Horch jugeait la « voiture sans chevaux » à moteur arrière de Benz archaïque et sa première voiture, en 1900, arborait un moteur bicylindre installé à l'avant et un arbre de transmission aux roues arrière, une première en Allemagne. Des modèles à moteur quatre et six cylindres suivirent et Horch devint incontournable dans les compétitions et les courses de côtes de l'époque, mais cette pratique l'amena par la suite à entrer en conflit avec sa direction et entraina son départ en 1909 pour fonder Audi.

En 1923, Horch embaucha Paul Daimler, le fils de Gottlieb, comme ingénieur en chef, la première voiture à porter sa griffe étant la 300. Elle était animée par un huit cylindres en ligne à double arbre à cames en tête de 3, 2 litres, un type de moteur qui allait avoir les faveurs de Horch tout au long des années 1920 et 1930. Après le départ de Daimler, Fritz Fiedler (qui allait ensuite s'illustrer chez BMW) prit sa succession et conçut une huit cylindres en ligne à simple arbre à cames – la Horch 450 – qui fut suivi par les modèles 600 et 670 à moteur V12 de 6 litres en 1931 et par la 830 B à moteur V8 de 3, 5 litres en 1933.

En 1932, la société fut intégrée à Auto Union qui réunissait Audi, DKW et Wanderer. Horch sortit une véritable pléthore de versions de ses modèles dans les années 1930, avec des choix incroyables de cylindrées, d'empattements et de styles de carrosseries, tous destinés au marché du luxe sur lequel Horch était le seul concurrent national sérieux face à Mercedes-Benz. La 853 de 4, 9 litres, dévoilée pour l'année-modèle 1936, était propulsée par un huit cylindres en ligne simple arbre reposant sur dix paliers, conçu par Fiedler et installé dans un robuste châssis doté d'une transmission à quatre rapports avec overdrive et de freins hydrauliques assistés. La 853/853a, un élégant cabriolet sportif, fut produite jusqu'à l'entrée en guerre, date à laquelle 950 de ces voitures très exclusives avaient été construites.

Après la seconde guerre, l'usine Horch de Zwickau se retrouva dans la partie est de l'Allemagne où elle fut utilisée pour la construction des utilitaires Trabant, une bien triste fin pour cette marque aristocratique qui avait figuré parmi les meilleures du monde.

Malheureusement la carrosserie d'origine de cette 853 a été perdue pendant la seconde guerre ou peu après. Selon les informations fournies par le vendeur, le dernier propriétaire de la voiture l'avait équipée d'une carrosserie pick up et l'avait utilisée pour transporter des denrées sur son exploitation agricole en Ukraine. On ne sait donc pas si elle avait reçu la carrosserie Sportcabriolet d'usine ou une carrosserie réalisée par un artisan indépendant à l'origine.

La voiture a été achetée en Ukraine en 2009 par Horch Classic qui a aussitôt entrepris une restauration de sept années qui a demandé des milliers d'heures de travail. Il a été décidé de construire une réplique de la légendaire carrosserie Spezialroadster Horch Classic a fait des recherches dans diverses archives (mais aussi dans des documentations privées) pour retrouver des photos d'usine d'époque.

Grâce à la longue expérience de Horch Classic, à la documentation photographique et aux gabarits maison, une forme en trois dimensions fut construite. On la recouvrit de tissu pour visualiser les lignes et les volumes de la carrosserie. De nombreuses modifications furent apportées à cette forme de départ, avant de trouver les bonnes proportions. C'est seulement à ce stade que l'on put commencer à construire la structure en bois de la carrosserie.

Des gabarits furent à nouveau utilisés pour reporter les volumes de la forme et réaliser la structure avec de nombreux essais pour ajuster et trouver les bonnes lignes. À l'aide d'un niveau laser, on a assemblé et collé les composants de la structure entre eux et on les a vissés au châssis. Puis, les panneaux métalliques de la carrosserie ont été fabriqués, ajustés et soudés ensembles. Le châssis Horch avait auparavant été nettoyé et l'épaisseur de son métal et son éventuelle corrosion vérifiées. Les parties trop corrodées ou jugées trop fines avaient été remplacées apprêtées puis recouvertes de plusieurs couches de peinture.

Dès le départ, on considéra de la plus haute importance, non seulement de trouver l'harmonie de couleurs parfaite entre la carrosserie et l'intérieur, mais aussi de trouver un aspect conforme à celui de l'époque pour l'ensemble de la voiture. En conséquence, une couleur de base gris métallisé fut donc choisie, changeant en fonction de l'éclairage, du gris métal pur à un gris avec une légère pointe de rouge. Pour accentuer les lignes fluides de la voiture, des filets furent tracés à la main sur les garde-boue, sur le capot, les portes et l'arrière de la carrosserie.

L'intérieur de la voiture a été tendu de velours noir de haute qualité avec un passepoil du même cuir rouge que les sièges. Le cuir des sièges a été choisi car son aspect ressemble à celui des cuirs utilisés à l'époque. Le logotype Horch a été brodé sur le dos des sièges avant et sur les contre-portes au fil noir. De gros efforts ont été consentis pour le ciel de capote en Alcantara.

Le tableau de bord, constitué d'une seule pièce de bois, a été plaqué de ronce du Canada, laquée et polie pour obtenir un effet miroir. Les boiseries intérieures ont un léger reflet rouge qui s'harmonise à merveille avec les couleurs de l'intérieur et de l'extérieur. Les écussons Horch, sur le radiateur et le coffre, ont été plaqués en or 24 carat par un joailler. Tous les chromes ont été préparés et rechromés ou ont été reconstruits et chromés quand c'était nécessaire.

Le moteur d'origine, les essieux avant et arrière, le différentiel, la boîte de vitesses et la direction ont été démontés et révisés quand cela était nécessaire. Le moteur a été entièrement démonté et toutes les pièces calibrées et vérifiées. De nouveaux roulements ont été montés, de nouveaux pistons installés, l'arbre à cames et les commandes de soupapes révisés. Des joints de soupapes neuf ont été montés et des joints modernes à lèvres d'étanchéité ont été montés sur le moteur, à l'avant et à l'arrière. Le vilebrequin et le volant moteur ont été équilibrés avec précision. Le moteur, essayé au banc pendant une vingtaine d'heure avant d'être réinstallé dans la voiture, tourne parfaitement avec douceur, tandis qu'une boîte a cinq rapports révisée vient augmenter le plaisir de conduite et permet de tenir une bonne vitesse de croisière à des régimes peu élevés. Un faisceau électrique neuf a été refait et recouvert de coton vernissé pour reproduire l'aspect d'époque. Il va sans dire que tous les éléments de sécurité des freins et de la direction ont été rénovés. Un système d'allumage additionnel a été installé.

La voiture est vendue avec un reportage photographique de la restauration, ses papiers d'immatriculation allemands et un contrôle technique (TüV) daté du 11 juillet 2014. Un grand nombre d'articles et de publications sur la marque accompagnent la voiture, ainsi que son manuel du propriétaire (copie), une liste des pièces détachées (copie), un atlas Horch des routes secondaires allemandes, Horch: Typen-Technik-Modelle de Peter Kirchberg et Jürgen Pönisch et The Coachwork of Erdmann & Rossi, Berlin de Rupert Stuhlemmer. Une plaque émaillé Horch Dienste, un thermomètre Horch et un parapluie Horch Classic font également partie du lot.

c.1937 Horch 853 Spezialroadster

Chassis no. 853177

Engine no. 851234

•Premier German marque

•One of only 950 made

•Fully restored by Horch Classic

•Five-speed gearbox

One of the founding fathers of the German automobile industry, August Horch was born in Winningen in 1868, and following an technical education at engineering school, worked for a marine engine manufacturer in Leipzig. His next job was managing Karl Benz's motor works at Mannheim, but frustration with his employer's conservative approach prompted Horch to seek financial backing for his own venture. Horch regarded Benz's rear-engined 'horseless carriages' as out-dated, and his first automobile of 1900 featured a front-mounted, twin-cylinder engine and shaft-driven rear axle, the first time this latter innovation had been seen in Germany. Larger four- and six-cylinder models followed, and Horch became active in the trials and competitions of the day, though ultimately this policy would bring August into conflict with his fellow directors and force his departure in 1909 to found Audi.

In 1923 Horch engaged Paul Daimler, son of Gottleib, as Chief Engineer, the first car to bear his stamp being the '300'. This was powered by a 3.2-litre, double-overhead-camshaft, straight eight engine, and power units of this type would be favoured by Horch throughout the 1920s and 1930s. After Daimler's departure Fritz Fiedler (later of BMW fame) took over, designing a single-overhead-cam straight-eight - the Horch 450 - which was followed by 6-litre V12-powered 600 and 670 models in 1931 and the 3.5-litre V8-engined 830B in 1933.

In 1932 the company became part of the Auto Union together with Audi, DKW and Wanderer. Horch produced a veritable plethora of model variations in the 1930s, ringing the changes on engine capacity, wheelbase and styles of coachwork, but all were aimed squarely at the prestige end of the market, where Horch was the only serious domestic rival to Mercedes-Benz. Introduced for the 1936 season, the 4.9-litre Type 853 was powered by a Fiedler-designed, SOHC, ten-bearing straight eight mounted in a solidly built chassis boasting a four-speed overdrive gearbox and servo-assisted hydraulic brakes. A stylish sports cabriolet, the 853/853a was produced up to the outbreak of war, by which time a mere 950 of these exclusive cars had been built.

After WW2, Horch's Zwickau factory ended up on the eastern side of the border where it would eventually be pressed into service manufacturing the utilitarian Trabant - a sad end to a once noble marque that had ranked among the very best.

Unfortunately, the original body of this Horch 853 was lost either during WW2 or soon after. According to information supplied by the vendor, this car's last owner had fitted a pick-up body, and used the car to transport materials on his farm in Ukraine; thus it was not possible to tell whether a factory Sportcabriolet or an independently coachbuilt body had been fitted originally.

The car was purchased in the Ukraine in 2009 by Horch Classic, which then embarked on a seven-year restoration that took thousands of working hours to complete. It was decided to build a replica body in the style of legendary Spezialroadster. Horch Classic researched in numerous archives (and also private sources) to find original factory photographs.

Utilising Horch Classic's long term experience, researched photographic documentation, and in-house made templates, a three-dimensional body buck was fabricated. This buck was then covered in fabric to create a first impression of the body's lines and proportions. Numerous changes had to be made to the original buck before the form and proportions were right; only then could the construction of the wooden body frame begin.

Templates were again used to transfer the buck's shape to the wooden frame, with lots of trial fittings until the right shape and form had been achieved. Using a laser spirit level, the frame components were then glued together and screwed onto the chassis. Then the individual components of the metal body were fabricated, measured again and welded together. The Horch chassis frame had already been cleaned, measured and the metal checked for thickness and corrosion. Parts of the frame which showed either too much corrosion or were deemed too thin were replaced and then primed and painted with several coats.

From the start it was considered very important, not only to achieve perfect harmony of the body colour and interior, but also to arrive at a period-correct look for the car as a result. Accordingly, a base colour of silver metallic was chosen, which changes under different lighting conditions from a pure silver to a silver with a slight red tinge. To emphasise the car's flowing lines, a coach line was applied by hand to the mudguards, bonnet, doors and the rear of the body.

The car's interior was clad in high quality black velour carpet, which was piped in the same red leather as was used for the seats. The leather for the seats itself was chosen for its period-authentic surface texture. The Horch logo has been stitched into the back of the front seats and the door cards with a black thread. A great deal of effort went into the Alcantara hood lining.

The dashboard, made from a single piece of wood, has been covered with Canadian burr veneer that has been lacquered and polished to provide a mirror-like finish. The interior woodwork also shows a slight red tinge, which harmonises beautifully with the interior and exterior colours. The Horch Logo on the radiator and the boot lid were plated with 24 carat gold by a jeweller. All chromed parts were either prepared and re-chromed, or where necessary newly fabricated and plated.

The original engine, front and rear axles, differential, gearbox and steering were dismantled, measured and overhauled where necessary. The engine was completely dismantled and all parts measured and checked. New bearings were fitted, new pistons installed, and the camshaft and valve gear overhauled. New seals were fitted to the valve guides, and modern radial oil seals fitted to the engine at front and rear. The crankshaft was finely balanced together with the flywheel. Dynamometer tested for some 20 hours before fitting to the car, the engine is reported to run very smoothly, while a comprehensively overhauled five-speed gearbox enhances the already pleasurable driving experience and helps to keep the engine revs low at cruising speeds. A new wiring loom has been made and covered with woven cotton to replicate the appearance of the original. It goes without saying that safety-critical components for the steering and hydraulic brakes were renewed also. An additional ignition system is fitted.

The car is offered with photographic documentation of the restoration; German registration papers; and an historic TüV dated 11.07.14. A quantity of marque-related literature comes with it to include an owner's manual (copy); spare parts list (copy); Horch B-Road Atlas Germany; 'Horch: Typen-Technik-Modelle' by Peter Kirchberg and Jürgen Pönisch; and 'The Coachwork of Erdmann & Rossi, Berlin' by Rupert Stuhlemmer. A 'Horch Dienste' advertising enamel sign; a Horch thermometer; and an umbrella with Horch Classic print are included in the sale.accompagnent la voiture, ainsi que son manuel du propriÃ©taire (copie), une liste des piÃ¨ces dÃ©tachÃ©es (copie), un atlas Horch des routes secondaires allemandes, Horch: Typen-Technik-Modelle de Peter Kirchberg et JÃ¼rgen PÃ¶nisch et The Coachwork of Erdmann & Rossi, Berlin de Rupert Stuhlemmer.

Am 24. Juli 1879 zog Major Cavagnari mit einer Eskorte von 89 Kombattanten als britischer Gesandter in Kabul ein; aber schon 3. Sept. erfolgte ein Massenangriff auf das Gesandtschaftsgebäude und die Ermordung des Gesandten und seiner Begleitung. Zur zwangsweisen Durchführung des Vertrags und Wiederherstellung der britischen Ehre erfolgte sofort ein erneuter Einmarsch englischer Truppen unter dem General Roberts. Der zweite afghanische Krieg 1879 begann. Kabul, 12. Okt. besetzt, mußte 10. Dez. wieder geräumt werden, ward aber 27. Dez. aufs neue genommen; ebenso wurde Kandahar besetzt, der Hilmend von Girischk aus überwacht und Ghasni genommen. Jakub Chan, der Mitschuld an der Ermordung Cavagnaris überwiesen, ward 13. Dez. 1879 in die Gefangenschaft nach Indien abgeführt.

Von englischen Truppen standen damals General Roberts mit 10,000 Mann in und um Kabul, Bright mit 12,000 Mann zwischen Kabul und Peschawar, Stewart mit 9045 Mann in Kandahar, im Kuramthal 9150 Mann. Trotz dieser Truppen fanden aber überall Aufstände statt, und die Anhänger Jakubs riefen in Ghasni den einzigen fünfjährigen Sohn desselben, Musa, zu seinem Nachfolger aus, Mohammed Dschan wurde sein Vormund und Regent. Letzterer eröffnete den Glaubenskrieg, ward aber 19. April 1880 vor Ghasni geschlagen und durch die Einnahme dieser Stadt der Ghilzaistamm niedergeworfen. Waffenruhe herrschte nunmehr im Kabulthal wie in Kandahar. In einer im April vom Oberkommandierenden nach Maidan berufenen Versammlung der einflußreichsten Einwohner ward denselben bekannt gemacht, daß England nicht die Absicht habe, A. dauernd besetzt zu halten, vielmehr einen vom Volk gewählten Emir anerkennen und dann seine Truppen zurückziehen würde. Schon früher war A. englischerseits bekannt gegeben, daß die Provinz Kandahar abgetrennt und zu einem selbständigen Reiche gemacht werden solle. Im April wurde es zur Thatsache: der bisherige Gouverneur von Kandahar, Schir Ali, ward zum Wali oder Fürsten des neuen Reichs ernannt; eine englisch-indische Brigade hielt Kandahar besetzt. Die Afghanen, sehr mißgestimmt, verlangten Wiederherstellung eines ungeteilten A., besonders Mohammed Dschan in Ghasni mit seinem Anhang wie auch die nördlich des Kabulthals seßhaften Stämme.

In diese Zeit fällt das Auftreten Abd ur Rahmâns, Sohn von Afzul, Enkel von Dost Mohammed. Nach der Niederlage Azims, seines Onkels, bei Ghasni im Dezember 1868, floh Abd ur Rahmân zuerst nach Persien und dann nach Rußland, wo er als russischer Staatspensionär mit 2500 Rub. Apanage in Samarkand lebte. Mitte Februar 1880 tauchte derselbe mit einer turkmenischen Streitmacht in der afghanischen Provinz Badachschan auf und wurde hier zum Herrscher von A. ausgerufen. Anfang April erkannten ihn auch die Bergstämme am Südabhang des Hindukuschgebirges an. Auch die Anhänger Jakub Chans liehen ihm Unterstützung. Infolgedessen entsandte die englische Regierung eine Gesandtschaft, um Abd ur Rahmân auch ihre Anerkennung als Emir von A. unter gewissen Bedingungen anzubieten. Nach langen Verhandlungen kam es schließlich 22. Juli in einer Versammlung afghanischer Häuptlinge in Kabul zu der Proklamierung Abd ur Rahmâns zum Emir von A. Abgesehen von dem englischerseits eingesetzten Wali Schir Ali von Kandahar, existierte aber auch noch eine Nebenregierung in Herat. Hier war 1879 Ejub Chan, Sohn des Emirs Schir Ali und Bruder des in Indien gefangen gehaltenen Jakub Chan, als Gouverneur eingesetzt. Um nicht selbst infolge der in seinem eignen Heer ausgebrochenen Kämpfe zu Grunde zu gehen, sah er sich genötigt, nach außen thätig zu werden. Die Proklamierung eines neuen Emirs von A. gab ihm Anlaß dazu, indem er eigne Rechte auf den Thron geltend machte. Ende Juni 1880 war er mit seiner Streitmacht von Herat über Farah nach dem Hilmend aufgebrochen. Gegenmaßregeln wurden von Kandahar aus getroffen. Hier stand General Primrose mit ca. 4000 Mann englischer Truppen, auf den rückwärtigen Verbindungslinien befehligte General Phayre. Der Wali Schir Ali hatte eine eigne Streitmacht organisiert. Letzterer rückte Ejub Chan entgegen; General Burrows wurde von Prim- rose mit einer gemischten Brigade zur Unterstützung des Walis detachiert. Infolge der Desertion des größten Teils der Infanterie und Artillerie des Walis mußte General Burrows vor den 12,000 Mann und 36 Geschützen Ejubs zurückweichen. Auf halbem Weg zwischen Girischk und Kandahar kam es östlich Kuschk i Nakhud 27. Juli zum Gefecht; die englische Brigade, fast aufgerieben, wurde auf Kandahar zurückgeworfen. Ejub traf 6. Aug. vor dieser Stadt ein. General Primrose verfügte über nicht ganz 5000 Mann mit 18 Geschützen. Infolge der durch Ejub unterbrochenen Verbindung mit Tschaman und Quetta war auf Unterstützung von dorther nicht zu rechnen. Man detachierte den General Roberts von Kabul auf Kandahar. Am 7. Aug. brach er mit rund 10,000 Kombattanten auf; 8000 Mann Lagertroß, 2000 Pferde, 750 Artilleriemaultiere und 1225 Transporttiere mußte er mit sich führen. Bei den Terrain-, Bevölkerungs- und Ernährungsverhältnissen des Durchmarschgebiets war das Unternehmen äußerst schwierig, zumal schon den gegebenen Versprechungen gemäß Kabul geräumt werden mußte. Schon 10. Aug. verließen die letzten englischen Truppen letzteres und zogen auf Gandamak ab. General Roberts verlor somit jede Basis; nur in der Erreichung seines Ziels und einer glücklichen Entscheidung durch die Waffen konnte ein Erfolg erzielt werden. Ejub hatte bereits 10. Aug. das mit 4630 Mann besetzte Kandahar von allen Seiten eingeschlossen. General Roberts langte 23. Aug. in Kelat i Ghilzai an, nahm die dort befindliche englische Besatzung von 1200 Mann mit und setzte seinen Marsch fort. Ejub hob auf die bezügliche Nachricht hin schon 23. Aug. die Belagerung auf und nahm mit seiner jetzt 20,000 Mann betragenden Armee etwa 15 km nordwestwärts der Stadt eine Stellung. Schon 31. Aug. war das englische Entsatzheer in Kandahar eingezogen. Am 1. Sept. griff General Roberts Ejub in der Stellung am Baba Wali an und schlug ihn vollständig. Ejub flüchtete über Farah nach Herat, wo er mit den Trümmern seiner Getreuen (die irregulären Truppen hatten sich zerstreut, die Kabuler Regimenter sich nach Kabul geflüchtet) Ende September anlangte. Nach diesem Sieg konnte das Kabinett Gladstone an der beschlossenen Räumung Afghanistans festhalten. Am 12. Sept. war von den Truppen des Generals Stewart der Chaiberpaß passiert; auch General Roberts trat schon wenige Tage nach seinem Sieg den Rückmarsch an. Nur 13,000 Mann unter dem mittlerweile von Tschaman angekommenen General Phayre blieben bei Kandahar und Tschaman.

Abd ur Rahmân hatte seine Herrschaft in Kabul und Nordafghanistan wesentlich befestigt: Mohammed Dschan, selbst die Ghilzai hatten sich unterworfen; im südlichen A. fingen die Verhältnisse sich zu konsolidieren an. An Stelle des nach Indien gegangenen Walis Schir Ali wurde der 26jährige Mohammed Hassim Statthalter von Kandahar. Die Engländer traten 17. April 1881 auch von hier aus ihren Rückzug an. Somit war der Emir thatsächlich Herr von Nord- und Südafghanistan, nur Herat und somit der Westen war ihm noch nicht unterthan. Hier hatte Ejub trotz Geldverlegenheiten mit großer Energie seine Streitmacht neu organisiert und war mit seinem wachsenden Ansehen wieder zu einer beständigen Drohung für Abd ur Rahmân, ja selbst für England geworden. Hier herrschten über die für Südafghanistan einzuschlagende Politik die verschiedenartigsten Ansichten; die Räumungspolitik Gladstones hatte indes die Oberhand behalten, nur am Kodschakpaß war die englische Nachhut stehen geblieben. Mohammed Hassim war keineswegs populär, und sein Ansehen stand je weiter nach Westen, desto mehr dem Ejubs nach. Während Abd ur Rahmân mit der Befestigung seiner Stellung und Organisation seines Heers beschäftigt war, zog Ejub gegen Kandahar. Schon Anfang Juni war es am Hilmend zwischen Abteilungen Hassims und den Durani, Anhängern Ejubs, zu Kämpfen gekommen. Schon 15. Juli erschien letzterer bei Girischk, passierte den Hilmend, schlug Hassim 26. Juli bei Karez i Alta und besetzte am folgenden Tag mit seiner Vorhut Kandahar. Erst jetzt sah sich Abd ur Rahmân, dessen Sache man selbst in England schon für verloren ansah, veranlaßt, auch seinerseits Gegenmaßregeln zu treffen. Am 1. Sept. traf er mit Verstärkungen bei Kelat i Ghilzai ein, während Ejub bis dahin in und bei Kandahar stehen geblieben war. Jetzt bezog er unmittelbar östlich davon eine Stellung. Abd ur Rahmân konnte sich nicht zum Angriff entschließen. Ejub, für seine Rückzugslinie nach Herat besorgt, gab jene Stellung auf und nahm eine andre südwestlich der Stadt. Hier, bei den Ruinen des alten Kandahar, kam es 22. Sept. zur Schlacht, in welcher Ejub hauptsächlich infolge Verräterei seiner Truppen unterlag. Bevor jedoch Abd ur Rahmân seine Absicht, auf Herat zu marschieren, ins Werk setzen konnte, war das Schicksal dieser Stadt schon entschieden. Unter Abd ul Kudus Chan und Ischak Chan waren nämlich dem Emir ergebene Truppen aus dem afghanischen Turkistan bereits Ende September auf dem Marsch gegen Herat. Der hier zurückgebliebene Gouverneur Inniab rückte ihnen entgegen, wurde aber 2. Okt. bei Schaflan geschlagen. Am 4. Okt. war Herat in der Gewalt der Sieger. Ejub Chan, durch dies Mißgeschick vom gefeiertsten Prätendenten zu einem anhangslosen Rebellen geworden, flüchtete, jeder Hilfsmittel beraubt, auf persisches Gebiet. Auch in Herat wurde jetzt Abd ur Rahmân als Emir proklamiert: er wurde Herr des ungeteilten A. England, das 17½ Mill. Pfd. Sterl. in der dreijährigen Feldzugsperiode geopfert hatte, konnte nunmehr seine Truppen auch aus Tschaman, wo sie bis dahin noch Wache gehalten hatten, durch den Kodschakpaß und das Pischinthal nach Indien zurückziehen. Quetta ist die Kandahar zunächst liegende englische Garnisonstadt.

Die augenblickliche Lage (1884) läßt sich dahin zusammenfassen: Abd ur Rahmân hat sich als Beherrscher Afghanistans zu erhalten gewußt, wenn auch um den Gouverneurposten in Herat wiederholte Streitigkeiten ausgebrochen sein sollen. Die politische Situation des Emirs ist eine äußerst schwierige in Rücksicht auf das gegenseitige Verhältnis Englands und Rußlands in Innerasien. Es ist daran zu zweifeln, ob er im stande sein wird, das strategische Dreieck Kabul-Herat-Kandahar als neutrale Zone zwischen den Machtsphären jener beiden Reiche intakt zu erhalten. Gelingt ihm oder seinem Nachfolger dies nicht, so wird A. ein Territorium sein, auf welchem sich zeigen muß, ob Rußland oder England die Fäden der asiatischen Politik geschickter zu spinnen weiß. Der Afghane fügt sich nur der Macht. Rußland ist darüber vollständig im klaren. Es wird an seinen Zielen festhalten. Von der Politik Englands wird es abhängen, ob Rußland auch hier sein Ziel, wie in Zentralasien überall, erreichen wird.

Watch the Storm Chasing Video from that day's Chase on Flickr Click Here

No tornadoes on this day's chase, but some incredible supercell structure out on the plains of Nebraska.

We started the day with a supercell that had several meso structures being reported from radar. This storm was tracking slowly about 12 knots cresting from the northwest to southeast. Classic June storm structure for this time of year in Nebraska. Northwest of North Platte Nebraska it had reported wall cloud and we definitely wanted a piece of this action.

We arrived as it was gaining strength as it has pushed through Maxwell Nebraska. We stopped in Brady, just to the southeast via I-80 corridor to get the bugs off of the windshield and as the storm was gaining strength. We had stopped just a few miles to the south of Brady we set up shop to catch this storm. Nice clear beautiful structure accompanied the underbelly of this supercell. Though we had a clear cut defined wall cloud this storm never did show us her tornadic teeth.

After about an hour on this storm in the same position (rare for us to do this) we eventually had to back off and get back to the east. We had to get south of Gothenburg just a few miles off the I-80 exit area for the next structured shot of this supercell. Oh we got just what we were looking for! Phenomenal base rotation!

Eventually we had backed off again as the hail core was approaching. Plus this cell was loosing its steam. We moved back to the I-80 corridor then south of Cozad Nebraska and this cell was in redevelopment mode and we had some waiting to do. Though not a long wait as this original cell fizzled out but we had one more chance for good structure south of Overten Nebraska. We headed to Loomis Nebraska for another treat to end the day. Oh did I say treat? We got a whole bunch more eye candy than expected.

Just to the east of Loomis Nebraska we encountered some incredible supercell structure. This storm wasn't going to be shy, and she eventually showed us some teeth.

Personal Note: For some odd reason I didn't clear my memory card on my last chase, and I ran out of room on my SD Card. I had to stop shooting after the wall cloud was right over my location my Loomis Nebraska. I didn't have time to pull out my spare card and load it due to the strength and this fast moving cell. This storm cell became outflow dominate and man do I mean dominate. We got caught in the outflow boundary several times with tons of gustnadoes and almost haboobish. I did have my trusty camera with me... I was in the drivers seat so when we had a chance, I did capture some incredible pics that blew me away literally. Either I'll make another short video to proceed this one or you'll have to wait till I get them posted on my Flickr site flickr.com/nebraskasc.

All in all. I'm not always about catching the tornado. I had some good friends and fellow storm chasers along side that day. In my opinion... just another EPIC chase day in Nebraska!!! Woot Woot. More to come!

Childrens room with furniture from my childhood by pubdoll

Blogged about here: pubdolls.blogspot.com/2010/01/memory-lane.html

I was recently tagged by Rebecca and here is my response.

The rules of this game were: if you're tagged, upload a photo saying you were tagged, put 10 random facts about yourself into the description, and tag 10 other people by adding them to the photo. I'm not much of a follower of rules and Rebecca has already tagged most of the people I would have tagged, so I will just give you the 10 random facts:

1. I have played the piano since I was 6 years old. I got the piano from one of my grandmothers and was taught to play by the other. I thought about studying music but found I wasn't good enough to make a decent living of it.

What I like most is to sit by the piano and improvise, it helps if I'm stressed or sad. Most of my songs are rather melancholic. I made my first song when I was seven, it was just one line and was supposed to sound oriental :-) I have written down some of the songs, but none of them are very original. The first song I wrote down, at 14, was one page long and was dedicated to a boy in my class who I had a crush on for several years. I wrote my best piece when I was 18 and gave the notes as a present to my grandmother who had taught me to play.

Recently my nerd of a husband wrote a Pre-Indo-European blues with the subtitle "The horse, the wheel and language blues" based on a book review. I made a tune to it, with all the blues clichés I could think of, and whenever I play it, he gets in a good mood. (I thought blues should have the opposite effect?)

2. I have sung in choirs most of my life. These days I sing in the church choir (which often consists of me alone).

3. I once won a limbo contest, but now I'm sadly unfit, so there's no chance I will be able to repeat that.

4. When I was fourteen we were in Morocco, and my father was offered 35 camels for me, luckily for me he rejected the offer.

5. I hate housework, so when we finally decided to hire a cleaning women, our house was a real mess.

6. I also hate woodeating ants and I am almost obsessive about killing them.

7. Like Rebecca, I'm interested in genealogy. One of my foremothers was Norway's most famous witch, Anne Pedersdotter, who was burned alive at the stake in the city of Bergen on the 7 April 1590.

8. I love reading about the Big Bang, nuclear physics and the space, even if I just understand a fracture of what I'm reading.

9. I'm an avid Dr Who fan, but I've only known the 9th and10th doctor.

10. I added the Gauguin painting www.flickr.com/photos/pubdolls/4298496293/ not only because of the colours, but because a copy of the painting (by one of my great aunts) is the picture I remember best from my grandparents home. Now it's mine, and below is the painting hanging on my staircase wall. Underneath it is a painting I did myself some years ago inspired by François Boucher (when I had a wall that needed something in those colours).

Auto World Museum by lukedrich_photography

Source: www.autoworldmuseum.com/about.html

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.

William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.

Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.

After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.

The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.

Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.
