XXXX. Dead?
In response to the eMail I sent detailed in an earlier post, I just recieved the following.
Dear Xade, It is with much sadness and regret that I write to inform you of the passing away of XXXX. His talent, generosity of spirit, his charm and wit were met with a sudden end on the afternoon of Sunday 28th July. The authorities are investigating what appears to be homicide. My sincere apologies for any confusion or inconvenience. It has fallen on me to liaise with you, should you wish to continue in your work with Neurocam. Thank you for your patience. Yours Sincerely, Dean Godman
hmmm... While I never met the man, I do have to say, I loved the suit.
I'll raise a glass to you tonight.

hhmmm... So. Who to trust?
Well, according to the latest from Tript, XXXX is alive and well and is currently in Brussels. Well, that is if you believe the enigmatic Iocus Severus. I for one, haven't had the same communications nor experiences as either Tript or Graham, so to say I trust the man wouldn't be truthful. Now, having said that, this is Neurocam. Or Nautionier. And deception does seem to be part and parcel. As Graham said, I spose we'll find out when they start mailing him to us. But then I hope that doesn't happen.
So. If XXXX isn't dead, where does that leave us? It leaves us with Dean Godman who looks to have taken the reigns over at Neurocam (or at least for the time being). And it leaves us with Nikolay (Who seems to be a Yellow 1 operative.)
Again, neither of these men I would trust, but I must say, I have had an interesting correspondence with Nikolay recently. An excert as follows.
You know more than you let on.
We need to meet in person.
Can you give me Dean Godmans email address or phone number?
First of all... A meeting with Nikolay!!. Interesting... Although Iocus seems to be sure that the 'footage' of XXXX was a fake, it still doesn't make me any surer of meeting this guy. We'll just have to make sure that it in is a very public place.
Secondly. Why would Nikolay be looking for Dean? Why would Nikolay be out of contact with Dean? Is Dean being an absolute sussy here? Has he make some kind of power play within the ranks of Neurocam/Nautionier? Will there ever be an answer to my questions? And why do I have the feeling that XXXX is ducking down, out of sight, behind that grassy knoll...

One night in Moscow.

Last night, I met the mysterious Nikolay. The arrangement was to meet on the corners of brunswick and Johnston streets, in a tiny pub with no name.
We idenitifed ourselves with a pre-determined gesture, the raising of a glass, and then we were talking.
Now, coming into this, I had a lot of preconceptions about this guy, mainly based on this comment over at Tripts house
You better watch yourself boy. If you really want to be invited to one of our barbeques it can be arranged.
lead me to lovingly refer to the guy as the crazy Ruskie. (Though never out loud where anybody would hear me...). But I am pleased to say that Nikolay was the nicest guy I've ever met. If I wasn't so taken... and hetero... and he wasn't working for some sus organisation... I so would have... If you know what I mean... ;)
But moving along. Conversation flowed, Neurocam came up, Yellow 1 came up. I noticed a couple of indescrepencies in what he said, namely that he hadn't heard of Tript? that one struck me as very odd considering the above comment... but moving along.
Apparently, he works for a division of Yellow 1. In true cloak and dagger style, the left hand of Yellow 1 doesn't know what the right hand is doing, so the was a lot of 'I don't know's or 'I can't tell you's. To be honest though, I don't know how much of it can be trusted though.

I think I did get out of it was a minidisk. The minidisk had a label with the name Dr [something I can't remember cause I'm at work and it's at home] Amed, and had a series of numbers along with the letters MDB. Nikolay seemed to insinuate that the disk contained information on the untimely disappearance of our friend Robert Henley. Sadly, I don't have a minidisk player, so until I find one, it's contents will remain a secret. (I'm chasing a couple of people, but any help on this would be great).
There was one other thing on the minidisk, under the label the was some writing that had been crossed out with a black marker. The first letter looked to be a P or an F and the last looked to be a 6. I tried to remove the top layer of marker and it started to come off. Thinking that Nikolay wouldn't have needed to cross it out if it could just be rubbed out, I put my back into it. Now it is gone :(.
Anyways. Back to Nikolay. We chatted. Had a drink or two. And then he was gone. My overall opinion of the guy was that he seemed alright. Still, he did let forth some conflicting stories, and I've been hearing some additional nasty pastyness on the grapevine which may or may no be made public soon... So I don't know. I don't think I will trust him (Not that I actually trust anybody associated with Neurocam). But having said that, if I met him in a dark alley, I don't think I would run. (Well, not straight away anyways...)

Now. Lets move onto the important stuff. Like Neurocam.
It all started with the Mini-disc from the sus Russian Nikolay, you know, the one with the 'special ****'. tee hee... It's "special". So anyway, I got a mini-disc from this guy with the following label.
NIGERIA: DR SAMEUL AMEDU
234-1-776-9407
MDB: 234-803-046360
(Where the MDB could possibly have read MOB...)
Now, not having a mini-disc player, I concidered cracking the thing open to look for hidden messages, a-la Grahams slide, but I got an offer to use Tripts prior to me doing anything I might have regretted...
So anyway, the meeting was set. It was night, cold and the coffee was Starbucks. Damn you starbucks. Anyway, I met up with Tript, and I must say, it is good to put a face to the blog, and while I'm sure he hears this a lot, and to any ladies out there, Tript looks suprisingly like David Beckham. I dunno... maybe it's the eyebrows...
But anyways, we're sitting there, we have coffee. we have cigarettes, we have a mini-disc and a minidisc player, time to move to the business end of things...
ba ba baaaaam... to be continued... ;)

So, XXXX made a phone call
- and?
Did I mention he was suposed to be dead?
- no.
And he got involved in a Nigerian Fraud Scheme.
- So?
And that's where we are left. XXXX seems to have gotten involved in a Nigerian Scheme with a Dr Samuel Amedu, or at least that is how the conversation started. XXXX was then passed on to Samuels colleague, the esteemed 'Mr [I couldn't understand his name... Damn Nigerian Accent and shonky recording...]'. Now, apparently, XXXX wanted to fly to Lagos to meet with these two shady customers prior to commencing the 'transaction'.
The next part of the minidisc was what sounded like a voicemail message left for XXXX. It was left for him from someone from the 'Federal Ministry of Finance'. The message didn't really say a lot sadly...
Now, how this fits in with XXXX being Tortured/killed as Dean/Nikolay would have us believe, or hanging out in Brussels as Iocus claims, is a whole different question.
Though, maybe it's not.

I was all geared up this morning to front up...
and start venting some impatients on Neurocam...
Apparently that wasn't neccessary.
I got an email from our good friend Nikolay. I'm sure you all remember him.
While I'm going to keep a lot of it close to the table, I'll sum it up in three words.
Don't. Trust. Iocus.
It looks like a line is being drawn in the sand here. Which side will you be on when the castle falls. If the castle falls?
......
Oh, and on a less dramatic note, seems that XXXX IS in Nigeria. Shuting down the fraudsters. I just can't get the image of the white suit, swooping in, superhero like, putting an end to those endless bloody spams out of my head. Go XXXX.

Koran Teachings Madness

suicidebombers remains

What makes Palestinian suicide bombers tick? Not the Koran, media pundits are quick to say.
They maintain they are martyrs for a political, not religious, cause and are only resorting to such violent extremes to defend against an oppressive Israeli military. The media romanticize the heinous bombings as the desperate struggle of the downtrodden.
Given the alarming toll of innocent Israelis (not to mention Americans) recently slaughtered by Islamic suicide attacks, this is a particularly noxious batch of politically correct swill to swallow.
And those in the media who know better should be ashamed of themselves for peddling it. They are nothing but professional liars. Others too lazy to read the Koran to independently verify the spin of "moderate" Muslim scholars are guilty of intellectual malpractice.
If you read the Koran (the Muslim-approved Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation), you discover that martyrdom is the only guaranteed ticket to Paradise for Muslims.
But don't take my word for it. Listen to a former radical Shiite Muslim tell it.
"The only way Muslims can have assurance of salvation and eternal life is by becoming a martyr for the cause of Islam," said Reza F. Safa, author of "Inside Islam."
"To a Muslim," he added, "dying and killing for the cause of Islam is not only an honor, but also a way of pleasing Allah."
That explains how a Palestinian grandmother could proudly pose with her beaming teen-age grandson for a final photograph knowing that just hours later he would strap himself with explosives and eviscerate Israeli "infidels" – and himself – in the name of Allah. This adoring old woman was actually celebrating the boy's imminent death, as if he were about to cross the stage at his high-school graduation ceremony. But to her, a death certificate sealed by Allah meant more than any diploma. She said she was happy – overjoyed that her grandson would soon disembowel himself – because she knew he would be instantly transported to a better place.
Where does she get such faith? From the Koran.
Meanwhile, the pubescent grandson dreamed of the carnal pleasures awaiting him in Paradise – "Companions with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes ... virgin-pure and undefiled" – just as the Muslim prophet Muhammad promised in the Koran (Surah 56:22,35-36).
And such Koranic promises explain how the father of another young Palestinian, who set off a bomb on a crowded commuter bus, could gush, "My son will go to heaven" – as if he had just scored the winning touchdown at the homecoming game in front of Ivy League scouts. Most fathers would be bawling their eyes out over such a senseless loss.
Safa says local Muslim clerics recite to such young men the verses from the Koran that promise the reward of Paradise, and all its oddly non-spiritual perks, if they die while fighting the "unbelievers" – Jews and Christians – in the name of Allah.
"'Are you ready for martyrdom?'" the young man is asked. "'Yes, yes,' he repeats," Safa said, explaining the ritual. "He is then given the oath on the Koran."
"These young men leave the meeting with one determination: to kill," he said.
Of course, the same media pundits who like to pretend Palestinians are fighting a political war for freedom and are only using suicide as a "cheap defense weapon," argue that the Koran forbids suicide. They claim clerics twist the meaning of the salient passages in the Koran to imply martyrdom paves the way to Paradise.
But don't be fooled. Typical of Islam's apologists, they are merely cherry picking verses to try to make the Koran seem less violent than it is.
Yes, the Koran tells Muslims not to "kill or destroy yourselves" (Surah 4:29) – but only when doing so is outside the cause of Allah. Dying for Allah is not viewed as a waste of life.
In fact, the Koran encourages it. Consider these verses:
"When ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks," Muhammad commands in Surah 47:4. "Those who are slain in the way of Allah – he will never let their deeds be lost."
"Soon will he guide them and improve their condition," he continues in Surah 47:5, "and admit them to the Garden (of Paradise), which he has announced for them."
And look at Surah 4:74: "To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah – whether he is slain or gets victory – soon shall we give him a reward of great (value)."
And Surah 3:157: "If ye are slain, or die, in the way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all they could amass."
Surah 3:140-143, moreover, glorifies “martyrs” who “enter Heaven” and, at the same time, ribs those who “flinch” from death. That’s followed by Surah 3:170, which says “martyrs” -- suicidal killers who “die in their cause” -- don’t really die, nor should their loved ones “grieve” for them.
Maybe I’m just an ignorant “kaffir” who is misreading the Koran, which I’ve read cover to cover in two translations now.
Or maybe not. Translator Yusuf Ali, respected the world-over by Muslims, reads it the same way in his commentaries.
In footnote 469, he says: “Dying in doing your duty is the best means of reaching Allah’s mercy.”
“Martyrdom is the sacrifice of life in the service of Allah. Its reward is therefore even greater than that of an ordinarily good life,” Ali says in footnote 2839. “The martyr’s sins are forgiven by the very act of martyrdom.”
So in the Muslim faith, the reward for death in the cause of Allah is greater than good works or faith in general. That’s what the Koran teaches, the book that Ali says is “the duty of every Muslim -- man, woman or child -- to read.”
But what of the wives and children left widowed and fatherless, or parents left sonless, by these men of fanatical faith, these duty-bound suicide bombers, these glorified martyrs?
“The dear ones have no cause to grieve at the death of the martyrs,” Ali says in footnote 478. “Rather have they cause to rejoice.”
Like the Palestinian grandmother and father mentioned above.
But cultural relativists among the punditry, such as Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman, aren't convinced.
Goodman recently insisted that the Palestinian suicide bombers are merely "desperate" to improve their lot, deluded by the "despair" of their impoverished existence. Some politicians call them "freedom fighters." Over the weekend, former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell even compared PLO leader Yasser Arafat to Nelson Mandela.
But if Palestinians are deluded into carrying out such wicked acts, it's not a function of their social or economic condition. It's a function of their faith.
They are deluded, quite simply, by their holy book, which teaches them to "fight unbelievers (Jews) who are near to you" (Surah 9:123) for the cause of Allah.
You never hear of Jewish or Christian suicide bombers for the simple reason the Bible does not encourage murder-suicide in the name of God. The Koran does.
Still not convinced?
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Syria, which according to Safa has helped the Palestinians against the Israelis, has this as its slogan:
"The Koran is our constitution, the prophet is our guide; Death for the glory of Allah is our greatest ambition."
Greater than land or voting rights. Greater than family or love. Above all, death. This is the enemy Ariel Sharon faces. This, sadly, is now our enemy, too.
