Prepared for war at 9 am





Some signs in EKA say "Bush is a UFO"

When they told me I couldnt walk this way, I ask but why?, really why? What does the life of this person has to do with my life?

This morning, the city centre of Tallinn was turned into a graveyard, a murder scene. Streets were empty of cars, pedestrians, life and everything except those flashy yellow vests in every corner. Most of these flashy yellow vests were just looking at the shop windows, talking and spending the time. When I came out of home at 6.30 they were already there. There were not even souls in the street, but they were "guarding" bodies.

Physical bodies which can never experience a city as it usually is. They are cursed to live in empty streets full of yellow ghosts, for all their lives. I feel sad for them. Life under constant protection must be horrible. And it is in moments like today, that ideotic movements and closings in the space it interacts with us. This is the way Bush interacts with Estonia. It is all a game, what are they playing behind those fences? The magic circle is closed to those who carry no metal parts nor are normal. You must be abnormal to play such a game.
