We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Big boom in Norway! This takes some beating for an alarming sub-header for an article:
As Wednesday morning dawned, northern Norway was hit with an impact comparable to the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima
Blimey! At least it happened in the middle of nowhere rather than downtown Oslo.
Still, we all know it was really caused by George Bush capitalism McDonald’s global warming!

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Care to elaborate for us mere mortals, Perry?
I haven’t a clue!
Should I have been paying more attention to the telly?
Yeah, Perry, how about a link! 🙂
I’m surprised it wasn’t attributed to George Bush. According to many USA pundits and spokesmodels for various nutter organisations, he was responsible for Hurricane Katrina hittting New Orleans because it was run by democrats. Amazing that this bloke is ascribed such god-like powers by those who hate him.
Hmmm… odd that the link vanished. Clearly the work of the NSA 😛
Gosh! How frightening!!
I wonder if my friends in Bern are ok?
I’m sure I felt the planking in the sauna
give a little sigh there for a moment.
Bush’s hurricane . . . the NSA . . . Bern, Norway . . . Boom!
Very confusing. This has Carl Rove’s fingerprints all over it.

I wonder who Allah is po’d at in Norway?
I wonder who Allah is po’d at in Norway?
When you say “bomb” were you talking about the meteorite, or the article on the same paper about Norwegian skiier Ingvild Engesland’s nude photos controversy???
It is a scientifically proven fact that an increase in global temperatures makes the gravitational field of the earth greater, thereby enlarging and capturing this meteorite into a near-earth orbit. Artic and sub-artic temps in Norway have increased substantially creating an even greater gravitational attractor sub-field that pulled the meteor to northern areas of the country.
NSA satellites have been able to monitor this increase in earth’s warming related gravitational field and experiments have been undertaken to attempt to influence upper atmosphere effects and direct the gravity fields to take near-earth objects and hurtle them at the surface of the earth causing catastrophic damage. This was obviously a test firing of the satellite control network, and the likelihood that it was 2 500-lb bombs that took out Zarqawi is nil. It was this system and a 15-lb space missile that did it.
Are there similar levels of devastation at the impact sites of nuclear weapons?
Wish I could afford to fly to Norway and go meteorite hunting.
Hope the meteor didn’t crush any Norwegian Blue parrots.
Kinda depends how far from ground zero you are!
So, SK, you’re saying it was a sudden gust of gravity, right?

I think it’s more likely to be the after effect of a gravity quake 😉
Given the target, I would say it was more likely a Gust of Adolphus.
Lets hope we get see some pics of the crash site. Neat there is a shot of the meteorite flying across the sky.
triticale, even by very rigorous Midwest standards that was a pretty good one. Or should I say a very bad one.
It’s very considerate of these meteorites to hit unpopulated areas, isn’t it? If it had hit Stockholm it might just have made it to the second news story, after the Global Kickball Tournament, naturally.
triticale –
Good one!
But that would put it right around St. Peters (Minnesota):)
And regarding a “gust of gravity”, who says conspiracy theories have to be consistent with laws of physics and the dynamics of the upper atmosphere? I bet a link could be easily found with the nuclear tests that caused the Indian Ocean tsunami and this meteor. Democracy Now! probably has a documentary in production already.

Aparently “Hiroshima” was a bit of exaggeration. Here’s an image of the suspected impact site, a rock face up north… note the yellow burned rock…
This just in ! !
ONE TRILLIONTH OF NORSE LICHEN HARVEST DAMAGED ! BLACKS AND WOMEN HARDEST HIT !
EU SPOKESMEN BLAME U.S. GLOBAL WARMING POLICIES !
Well the happy-clappy televangelists will be going ape. Meteors and earthquakes around the ring of fire…signs of the rapture naturally?
*NB: Or to a Cthulhuist signs that Cthulhu is waking and rather cranky.
First time I heard about this was about a week after the incident, in a bulletin from an american friend on myspace!
why the stuff I wrote above is intresting, well becouse I live in Denmark! Also a Scandinavian country, and I’m confused about why they never mentioned this in the news here.
