– I am the type of person who likes to know how things work. And, as an analyst, this means I always want to figure out the truth. Unlike other analysts in my section or other sections within the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, I was not satisfied with just scratching the surface and producing canned or cookie cutter assessments. I wanted to know why something was the way it was, and what we could to correct or mitigate a situation.

“The truth shall make you free.”

I hope that we will put this war behind us...

1978-79: The creation of The New Nation was inspired by Funkadelic's 1978's album "One Nation under a Groove". It was meant to be an unofficial Scandinavian "fan-club", but nerveless the responded letters to the official "fan-club" PO Box, The New Nation became comprehended with 3 members from start ;-) and took a sentence from the album cover "The World is a Toll-Free Toilet for Political Assholes" as a club-motto.

The New Nation was meant as an imaginary place with equal rights for all living, and deprived from political assholes. When you are a self-aware teenager and feel like living forever, such ideologies are popping up.
The New Nation was a place where the act of creation was brought into existence vs the destructive Punk movement.

The New Nation is a place in the state to share the history of Hip Hop and to contribute to the outlaw spirit by questioning the common policy and mainstream art of today by using one or several of the outlaw instruments as an expression.
The Dark Roses since 1984: From the beginning TDR adopted the nature of The New Nation and until this day a place without borders. Where the color of skin have no confinement, where religion or atheism is a private matter, and limitations of the not yet created, poisoning human and political selfishness belong in a toilet.

Distinguish many differences between crew members of The Dark Roses, the spirit of being, experimenting or producing something never created or experienced before is the bloodline of TDRs existence. In a creative manner, it is a continuous search in i-dee'ó-lu-jee and languages never spoken before.

A Gallery due to our spirit

The artist or subjects in this gallery are not necessarily entirely those to the members of The Dark Roses that should have all the attention and respect in the world.
It would undoubtedly have been a lifetime travelling, writing of articles, editing, taking and posting photos - which a lifetime unfortunately are 2 short 4, when it's not the core subject on thedarkroses.com

An Internet and life with responsibility

Otherwise if you believe in such lies, the unregulated, uncontrolled mass collection of data by governments or private interest and one of the greatest public lie will be continued.
Mass collections of data are mostly used to minimize and to control your choices or the public unconscious of own knowing or perceiving. In the hand of despotism and corporate to which nothing matter more than control and maximize profit as sociopathic behavior, you will truly find the dark side of mass collection. If not already, then one day you will find yourself in a position of limited control of your own and without any control of your data, and there will be no such thing as redoing or removing those data which already have been shared, collected or used by third parties connected to the Internet.
In a world where the hand of power want everything digitalized, may the WorldWildWeb be with you and what matters you shall be in your control - is this for the worse or a better future?
