Time no more

Nu ne-a mai ramas timp mult! Cu cit prelungim refuzul nostru de a confrunta sistemul corporatist cu atit mai mult devenim impotenti ca si societate in descompunere. Jocul electoral politic care legitimeaza dreapta sau stinga in spectacole ieftine, este doar o loterie. Ne disperseaza  de la ce ar trebui sa facem zi de zi: DEZMEMBRAREA bucatica cu bucatica a bratului de otel pe care corporatia il tine deasupra vietilor noastre. Speranta in mai bine este un cuvint care se aplica numai asupra celor ce detin puterea, cei care manipuleaza realitatea si destinele nostre. Speranta adevarata se topeste in autodeceptiile noastre colective. Decizia si actiunea este in puterea noastra. Putem ori sa ne aparam impotriva sistemului totalitar corporatist, elitei corporatiste, chiar daca asta inseamna nesupunere civica, respingerea sistemului sistemului traditional in favoarea unui nou radicalism politic ori sa raminem in continuare pasivi asteptind de la altii primii pasi (care nu vor veni) si sa ne consumam energia si viata in asteptare. Timpul cum am spus nu e de partea noastra. Cu cit mai mult asteptam cu atit asiguram mai mult distrugerea noastra la nivel de societate civilizata si democratica. Viitorul daca alegem sa raminem pasivi ne va fi smuls de "evenimente". Obligatia nostra morala este nu catre structurile puterii ci catre VIATA!

Asigurari de sanatate

Private for-profit health system is driven by insurance companies whose goal is to avoid covering the elderly and the sick. These groups, most in need of medical care, diminish profits that is why poor people who have a tendency to have chronic health problems are cut from premiums. If you are healthy and employed, which means you are less likely to need expensive or complex treatment, the inssurance corporations swoop down on you like birds of pray. These corporations want to control our perceptions of health care. Patients must be viewed as consumers. Doctors, identified as "health-care providers", must be seen as salespeople.

Asigurari de sanatate

Future eaters

We will either defy the corporate elite, which will mean civil disobedience, a rejection of traditional politics for a new radicalism, and the systematic breaking of laws, or see ourselves consumed. Time is not on our side. The longer we wait, the moire assured our destruction becomes. The future, if we remain passive, will be wrested from us by events. Our moral obligation is not to structures of power but to life.

Dismantled piece by piece

Vanatoarea de vrajitoare dupa comunisti incepe imediat dupa anii 94-95 ca mijloc de a anihila de a pune botnitele la gura miscarii socialiste, anarhiste, pacifiste si chiar verzilor, intr-un cuvint tuturor celer care stiau si se impotriveau abuzurilor clasei capitaliste nou instalate la putere. Sindicatele care normal aparau interesele clasei muncitoare sint ademenite, transformate si domesticite devenind de acum "parteneri" ai noii clase capitaliste. Organizatiile sindicale sint reduse la simple unelete de schimb de marfuri, trocul inlocuind negocierea.   

The Art of SelfDeception

How about a society based on H.C. Andersen's short tale "The Emperor's New Clothes"? The citizens are kept prisoners not by police brutality, but by financial means. The freedom of speech would be guaranteed by all kinds of "Charter of Rights" and Freedom Acts and Human Ridiculous Rights but in fact what you see will be a well organized system that will spread its propaganda deep in the large society's social layers. What about when the common citizen would be so abused, harassed, discriminated and discouraged for decades and would not have any choice but to be obedient and follow the official free democratic propaganda? What about when common people under the influence of fictional life would not be able to clearly separate reality from deception? Everything would just be an enormous machine which is fuelled by our deceptions and ignorance.

Tecumseh

Following America’s successful war for independence, land hungry white settlers streamed across the Appalachian Mountains into the region known today as the Old Northwest, the present states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Shawnee people of Ohio and their neighboring tribes across the region viewed this influx with alarm. Hills and forests that had comprised their hunting and farming territory from time immemorial were rapidly becoming cluttered with the white man’s cabins, crops and towns.

In 1786, after 800 Kentucky militiamen burned numerous Indian villages along the Miami River in Ohio Territory, the Indians concluded that meaningful negotiations with the white man were impossible. Led by such able tacticians as Blue Jacket of the Shawnee and Little Turtle of the Miami, the Indians responded in the manner of anyone seeing their homeland invaded…they fought back.

Sa aratati bine ! Nu se stie ...

Reteta de succces:

- se ia o natiune din lume a 7-a, fara resurse sau crestere economica, debusolata, in cautare de recunoastere internationala.  

- se introduce un "investitor" strain ( ca ai nostrii e hoti mari) care la masa acasa nu mai are piata de desfacere;

- se cauta loserii societatii si se promoveaza in diverse festivaluri, muzica, teatru, dans etc;

- se mediatizeaza relatia fan-"vedeta" astfel incit daca nu esti in trend, esti un loser automat. Aluatul va creste exponential;

Se amesteca ingredientele de mai sus, se obtine o imagine cool, o "personalitate" care de aci incolo va avea un "look" identitar. Vestimentatia de "scena" va fi asigurata binenteles de investitorul nostru, cu orice sacrifiicii financiare. Se coace citiva ani la foc moderat dupa care chirurgia plastica va inlocui sporadic locurile neacoperite din faza de coacere.

Piata indirecta de desfacere va fi asigurata de cei din fata scenei, de scumpii nostrii fani fara de care nu am putea sa va jefuim si sa va dam tepe. Le multumim si pe aceasta cale pentru idiotenia lor si statornicia de care dau dovada pe termen lung in a ne sprijini intreprinderile intr-un tinut atit de sarac si "innapoiat".

Following the yellow brick road ???

Brad: revin ptr ca ai spus ca ai fost confuza, te-ai intrebat:
1. cum colonelul cu mercenarii lui inarmati pina in dinti de 40 de ani incoace, lupta cu protestatarii neinarmati de o saptamina poate mai mult? In conditii de razboi, iar el nu s-a temut sa foloseasca toate mijloacele posibile, nu ar trebui mai mult de cite ore ca sa anihilezi orice demonstratie.

2. ai vazut cum "massmedia" i-a transformat din civili pasnici in rebeli in citeva zile, dupa ce publicul a inceput sa se intrebe: de unde au arme de calibru greu, echipament militar, daca te uiti atenta o sa vezi ca au bocanci militari, de unde au atita munitie? Se stie ca de la colonel nu au dezertat decit citiva (un colonel care nu pot sa-i dau numele aici, care de fapt a si fost ucis ieri).

3. stiai ca in urma cu o luna au intrat in partea de est (acolo unde este juice-ul) mii de experti in toate domeniile cu misiunea de a oferii suport rebelilor in a forma noile institutii ale noul stat care urma sa se separe in caz ca colonelul ar pierde controlul in partea de est. Noi care avem experienta unei "revolutii" ar trebui sa intelegem cum functioneaza masinaria imperialista anglo-americana.

Nu e greu ca pe fondul nemultumirii generale generata de criza alimentara si alte crize sa scoti in strada citiva someri sprijiniti din spate de o armata de mercenari. Cred ei ca americanii ii vor ajuta sa se dezvolte? Americanii nu se pot ajuta nici pe ei. Singurul lucru care il fac foarte bine este sa vinda imagini si sa rascoale toata lumea ptr ca ei sa preia controlul. Daca tineretul "revolutionar" musca momeala noi nu ar trebui sa muscam. Acelasi scenariu ne-a fost si noua oferit in '90 cred, cu Tg. Mures, 10 Martie, norocul nostru a fost ca armata romana, pe atunci inca existenta, a avut informatii si nu a pus botul, ca noi civilii si am sarit sa ne omorim unii pe altii. Daca numai o zi s-ar fi prelungit ajungeau camioanele cu arme si munitii si aveam si noi razboi civil.

Dor de acasa

Exista inca multi academicieni in Romania care sint convinsi in urma experientei lor turistice in ... "america" ca ponderea agriculturii de numai 3-4 % dar nu oricum ci mecanizata poate sustine nu numai populatia autohtona dar sa genereze si exporturi. Tot ei vor sa re-aduca cooperativele si asociatiile pe pamint (dar si pe produse) ca sa gestioneze intinse suprafete binenteles cu o rentabilitate si eficienta maxima. Nu e de mirare ca acesti academicieni sint trecuti de virsta  de 60-70 de ani dar nu asta e problema ci aceea ca ei se cred revolutionari si ne spun ca romanul are o reticenta fata de cooperative si asociatii pentru ca sint "comuniste".

Misiunea Departamentului de Stat

Misiunea Departamentului de Stat:

"Advance freedom for the benefit of the American people and the international community by helping to build and sustain a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world composed of well-governed states that respond to the needs of their people, reduce widespread poverty, and act responsibly within the international system."

adica in benefiiciul evident al americanilor dar si al comunitatii internationale sa "ajute" asa cum numai ei stiu si pot sa construiasca si sustina nu numai democratic ci "mai democratic" sau democratic in sensul numai de ei inteles si acceptat, siguranta si prosperitatea statelor bine guvernate (intelegeti ce inseamna asta) ceilalti care nu sint prosperi si bine guvernati, nu mai conteaza, sa raspunda nevoilor (lacome) ale cetatenilor lor sa reduca (ma bine scria: sa re-aduca) saracia, se vede foarte clar cum s-a redus saracia daca comparam cu anii 60-70, sa actioneze responsabil atentie in interiorul "sistemului international". 

Pretinului meu Alice Curtu din Homoiesti, Curcea

Ca te-ai dat cu marile puteri ( 200 de ani??!!) nu mai am nici indoiala, ca esti plin de Romania si asta inteleg, eu am fost la fel cind eram acolo, bombardat de propaganda americana. Ce nu pot sa inteleg este de ce acum? De ce asa de tirziu, acum cind se scufunda si toata lumea intelege cine au fost si altele si altele. Tu cu inteligenta ta ai fi putut atit de bine sa cercetezi sau sa lucrezi pentru romanasii nostrii asa neajutorati si dezinformati cum sint. De ce nu te muti aici 5 ani sa lucrezi cu ei, sa ii cunosti, sa intelegi ca propaganda e una si viata reala e alta. Imi cer scuze, poate nu e nevoie sa spun eu astea, dar ptr mine nu se leaga niste chestii.

Lybia???

Cum ar reactiona un guvern al unui stat democratic care s-ar confrunta cu manifestatii de strada, greve generale asemanatoare celor in desfasurare din lumea araba? In primul rind ar declara grevele ilegale, grevistii ar fi concediati imediat si imediat din stocul de someri de la renumita poarta a fabricii s-ar gasii suficienti cocksuckeri care sa-i inlocuiasca miseleste pe fratii si surorile lor in numele unei economii subrede care trebuie sa sustina in continuare un nivel de trai artificial.

Egypt???

Ceea ce vedem zilele acestea desfasurindu-se in tarile arabe este democratia in lucru. Am vazut acum citeva saptamini cum o nesemnificativa parte a electoratului a reusit sa rastoarne prin forta strazii bazata pe un fond de criza generalizata, doi dictatori asezati in fotoliile lor de alte democratii mai mari doar pentru ca pazeau ca robinetele sa fie deschise si asigurau un climat de pace cu teroristii. Am vazut tineretul revolutionar sustinut de cele mai tari democratii din lume cum in inocenta lor au crezut ca de acum incolo va curge cu lapte si miere dinspre protectorul lor. Nu a fost sa fie chiar asa pentru ca este ... Criza.

Trail of Tears

In 1838, the United States government forcibly removed more than 16,000 Cherokee Indian people from their homelands in Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia, and sent them to Indian Territory (today known as Oklahoma). The impact to the Cherokee was devastating. Hundreds of Cherokee died during their trip west, and thousands more perished from the consequences of relocation. This tragic chapter in American and Cherokee history became known as the Trail of Tears, and culminated the implementation of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which mandated the removal of all American Indian tribes east of the Mississippi River to lands in the West.
Early in the 19th century, the United States felt threatened by England and Spain, who held land in the western part of the continent. At the same time, American citizens clamored for more land. President Thomas Jefferson proposed the creation of a buffer zone between U.S. and European holdings, to be inhabited by eastern American Indians. This plan would also allow for American expansion westward from the original colonies to the Mississippi River.

Traiu meu de banatana

Stiu ca sinteti inghetati si inerti, stiu ca sinteti departe si fara speranta de a mai trai liberi si fericiti, stiu ca sinteti impovarati de taxe, ginduri si griji, poveri materiale si stressul care vi l-a recomandat sa-l aveti cit mai aproape medicul dvs de familie sau prietenii de suflet. Stiu ca criza Lor a lasat la indemnul Partidului (pardon, massmediei) si sub acoperisul vostru fantoma Capitalistilor reformati. Dar mai sper ca putem sa ne intilnim, nu intorcindu-ne inapoi ci continuindu-ne calatoria in cercul vietii.

Rostopasca - o planta ce face minuni ?

Greu sa mai gasesti in natura o imperechere asa de desavarsita intre modestie si forta. Banala ca infatisare, cu floricica ei galbena pusa-n cruce, rostopasca este una dintre cele mai puternice plante de pe pamant. Nu degeaba credeau alchimistii ca pot scoate aur din petalele ei. Se spunea ca are o forta egala cu a soarelui si de asta romanii au botezat-o "Chelidonium", "darul cerului", iar vracii o culegeau numai in crucea zilei, cand soarele era in zodia Leului. Dar si faimosii botanisti ai antichitatii i-au acordat rostopascai mare consideratie. Paracelsus facea o analogie intre laptele ei de culoare portocalie si secretia biliara, folosind-o in vindecareaficatului, a bilei si-a fierii. Chiar si Hahnemann, fondatorul homeopatiei, isi vindeca bolnavii de ficat cu rostopasca, in vreme ce cu mult inaintea lui, Dioscoride o recomanda pentru vindecarea cataractei si a conjunctivitei. O confirmare "istorica" a calitatilor ei ii apartine marelui pictor german Albrecht Durer, care a imortalizat-o intr-o pictura, dupa ce cu ajutorul ei s-a vindecat de ficat. Astazi, rostopasca este recomandata ca remediu in peste 150 de afectiuni, de la dermatoze banale, la temutul cancer sau la infectiile virale, inca imposibil de tratat cu medicamentele actuale. Dar sa-i cunoastem mai indeaproape "minunile".

Egypt: The Next Volcano?

Eric Margolis

Veteran journalist; Author

Egypt is facing a potential political eruption that could rock the entire Mideast and seriously undermine US domination of the strategic region.
This threat comes as tensions in the Mideast are already extremely high. Threats of war involving US, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran are flying fast and furious.
President Husni Mubarak, the US-supported strongman who has ruled Egypt with an iron hand for almost 30 years, is 81 and in frail health. Amazingly, he has no designated successor. No one knows who will take over Egypt when he dies.
For Mubarak, it may be "après moi, le deluge." Dealing with elderly dictators is always an extremely tricky business.
Mubarak, an air force general, was put into power with US help after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat by nationalist soldiers in 1981. Sadat had been a CIA "asset" since 1952.
My sharp-tongued mother interviewed Sadat in the 1950's and described him as a "clown." Sadat was a hero in the US and Israel, but Egyptians hated him and greeted his killing with jubilation.
Egypt, with 82 million people, is the most populous and important Arab nation. Cairo has long been the cultural center of the Arab world. It is also an overcrowded madhouse with eight million people (12 million in the great Cairo area) crammed into an early 20th century colonial city built for 500,000. Cairo's population has tripled since I lived there as a boy in 1957.
About 28% all Arabs are Egyptians. Deduct North Africa, known as the Maghreb - and not traditionally part of the Arab heartland - and Egypt counts for a third of all Arabs. The Nilotic Egyptians are quite different ethnically from the Arabs of Arabia, Syria and Iraq, but they all share a mostly common language, religion, and sense of pan-Arab identity.
Egypt was once the heart and soul of the Arab and Muslim world. Under Sadat's predecessor, the widely adored nationalist, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt led the Arab world. By contrast, Egyptians despised successor Sadat as a corrupt Western toady, and sullenly accepted Mubarak.
After three decades under Mubarak, Egypt has become a political and cultural backwater, and a virtual American protectorate. Its political, intellectual, and religious life have been hand-cuffed by the security police.
In a very telling incident, Mubarak recently flew to Germany for gall bladder and colon surgery. After some $85 billion in US aid, Mubarak could not even trust a local hospital in the Arab world's leading nation to perform his operation.
The US gives Egypt $1.3 billion annually in military aid to keep the generals content, and about $700 million in economic aid, not counting large but secret CIA stipends to key generals, high officials, intelligence chiefs and Egypt's media. A small business elite attached to Mubarak has grown wealthy while the rest of Egypt remains mired in poverty, with a per capita national income around $1,600 per annum.
Egypt does not have enough arable land to feed its growing population, and must import 50% of its foodstuffs, mostly subsidized, low-cost US wheat. This food aid, on which Egypt
depends for sustenance, is appropriated each year by the US Congress.
Washington's powerful Israel lobby, which dominates Congress, could choke off US food aid to Egypt. Sadat and Mubarak gave Israel decisive influence over Egypt's policies in exchange for food aid and billions of dollars, a fact that enrages Egypt's Islamists and nationalists.
