Buna seara la romani

Ne-a fost inoculat ca entertainment-ul este o componenta esentiala a bunei functionari a unui organism sanatos. Daca stati si analizati de cine de ce si cu ajutorul cui nu e greu sa punem cap la cap toata masinatia capitalista. Intrati in direct cu noi, votati cu echipele concurente! Ei, artisti care ne "incinta" cu talentul lor nu voteaza cu noi! NU sint alaturi de noi pe cimp, la locurile de munca, in mine, atunci cind avem nevoie de ei. Saltimbanci au fost in toate vremurile care se hlizeau pe linga noi sa le aruncam o bucata de piine, dar ei erau atentie cei ce erau oropsiti de D-zeu, si nu puteau sa munceasca fizic. Ei ne insoteau la munca si ne inveseleau cu prostia/nebunia lor. Azi lumea e cu curu in sus. Oamenii au uitat ordinea lucrurilor si iau de bun ceea ce vad s-au cum am spus li s-a inoculat de generatii intregi fie sub regimul comunist care din fericire nu a incurajat prea mult "cultura" si "arta" dar mai mult sub dictatura imperialista post decembrista unde dezmatul si depravarea au gasit un teren fertil sa isi inmulteasca tembelitatea in rindurile unui popor lipsit de informare. Sa ne mai miram unde am ajuns? Sa ne mai miram ca sarim din lac in put si nu avem habar ca "liberatorul" constintei noastre fie ea si cea nationala va fi iarasi un esec atita timp cit educatia adevarata si nu aia pe care credeti ca o primesc copii nostrii cind merg la cursurile de obedienta si comformism, va prevala. Somn usor!

Gadhafi warns that Libya could strike in Europe unless NATO bombings halted

 TRIPOLI, Libya - A defiant Moammar Gadhafi has threatened to carry out attacks in Europe against "homes, offices, families," unless NATO halts its campaign of airstrikes against his regime in Libya.

The Libyan leader, sought by the International Criminal Court for a brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters, delivered the warning in a telephone message played Friday to thousands of supporters gathered in the main square of the capital Tripoli.
It was one of the largest pro-government rallies in recent months, signalling that Gadhafi can still muster significant support. A green cloth, several hundred meters long and held aloft by supporters, snaked above the crowd filling Tripoli's Green Square. Green is Libya's national colour.
A series of powerful explosions later rattled the heart of the capital, apparently new NATO airstrikes, as Gadhafi supporters cheered, honked horns and fired into the air in the street. Black smoke could be seen rising from the area near Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound.
Gadhafi spoke from an unknown location in a likely sign of concern over his safety. Addressing the West, he warned that Libyans might take revenge for NATO bombings.
"These people (the Libyans) are able to one day take this battle ... to Europe, to target your homes, offices, families, which would become legitimate military targets, like you have targeted our homes," he said.
"We can decide to treat you in a similar way," he said of the Europeans. "If we decide to, we are able to move to Europe like locusts, like bees. We advise you to retreat before you are dealt a disaster."
It was not immediately clear whether Gadhafi could make good on such threats.
In the past, Gadhafi supported various militant groups, including the IRA and several Palestinian factions, while Libyan agents were blamed for attacks in Europe, including a Berlin disco bombing in 1986 and the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people, mostly Americans. Libya later acknowledged responsibility for Lockerbie.
In recent years, however, Gadhafi was believed to have severed his ties with extremist groups when he moved to reconcile with Europe and the United States.
Al-Qaida and other jihadi groups have opposed Gadhafi since he cracked down in the late 1990s on the Islamist Libyan Islamic Fighting Group which sought to replace his regime with an Islamic state.
A U.S. State Department spokesman, Mark Toner, said the U.S. would take Gadhafi's threat of attacks seriously, as his regime carried out such actions in the past. Toner said he did not know if there was intelligence to indicate Gadhafi's regime would be able to carry out such attacks.
"This is an individual who's obviously capable of carrying these kinds of threats, that's what makes him so dangerous, but he's also someone who's given to overblown rhetoric," Toner told a news conference in Washington.
Friday's rally came just four days after the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Gadhafi, his son Seif al-Islam and Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanoussi for crimes against humanity. International prosecutors allege government troops fired on civilian protesters during anti-Gadhafi street demonstrations earlier this year.
The popular uprising has since turned into a protracted civil war, with anti-government rebels controlling much of eastern Libya and parts of Libya's western mountains. NATO has been bombing government-linked targets since March.
In his speech Friday, Gadhafi denounced the rebels as traitors and blamed them for Libya's troubles.
He said Libyans who fled to neighbouring Tunisia are now "working as maids for the Tunisians."
"Tunisians used to work for Libyans. What brought you to this stage? The traitors," he added.
He called on his supporters to march on rebel strongholds, including the western mountain area and the port city of Misrata, both in the otherwise Gadhafi-controlled western Libya. "We must end this battle fast," he said of the attempts to oust him from power, which began with an uprising in mid-February.
Gadhafi's speech signalled that mounting international pressure, including the arrest warrants against him, have made him only more defiant.
His son, Seif al-Islam, who like his father is a wanted man, denied in a TV interview that either of them ordered the killing of civilian protesters in Libya, as prosecutors charge.
The younger Gadhafi told Russian news channel RT in an interview posted online Friday that "most of the people" died when they tried to storm military sites, and that guards fired on them under standing orders to protect the bases and themselves.
However, documents from the International Criminal Court outline multiple instances in which the tribunal prosecutors allege government troops fired on civilian protesters during anti-Gadhafi street demonstrations earlier this year.
The younger Gadhafi had once been viewed as a reformer by the West and was being groomed as a possible successor to his father.
Seif al-Islam wore a thick beard and traditional clothes in the interview. He denounced the international court seeking his arrest as controlled by the NATO countries now bombing Libya.
"This court is a Mickey Mouse court ... For me to be responsible for killing people, it was a big joke," he told the Russian state-funded network.
The Netherlands-based tribunal on Monday issued arrest warrants against the Libyan leader, his son Seif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanoussi.
The three are accused of orchestrating the killing, injuring, arrest and imprisonment of hundreds of civilians during the first 12 days of an uprising to topple Moammar Gadhafi from power, and for trying to cover up their alleged crimes.
Presiding Judge Sanji Monageng of Botswana has said that hundreds of civilians were killed, injured or arrested in the crackdown, and there were "reasonable grounds to believe" that Gadhafi and his son were both responsible for their murder and persecution.
But Seif al-Islam denied that he and his father specifically ordered protesters to be killed.
"Of course not," he said, arguing that government troops fired on protesters out of self-defence.
"Nobody ordered. Nobody. The guards fired. That's it. ... The guards were surprised by the attacking people and they (started) ... firing. They don't need an order to defend themselves," he said.
Seif al-Islam accused Western nations of intervening in Libya because they are after the country's oil and other resources. He said the goal is "to control Libya," and he vowed to fight on.
"Nobody will give up. Nobody will raise the white flag," he said. "We want peace, but if you want to fight, we are not cowards. ... We are going to fight."

Why Diary Industry milk turn bitter instead sour when spoiled?

Raw milk is illegal in many countries as it can be contaminated with potentially harmful microbes. Contamination can also spoil the milk, making it taste bitter and turn thick and sticky. Now scientists have discovered new species of bacteria that can grow at low temperatures, spoiling raw milk even when it is refrigerated. According to research published in the November issue of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, the microbial population of raw milk is much more complex than previously thought.

"When we looked at the bacteria living in raw milk, we found that many of them had not been identified before," said Dr Malka Halpern from the University of Haifa, Israel. "We have now identified and described one of these bacteria, Chryseobacterium oranimense, which can grow at cold temperatures and secretes enzymes that have the potential to spoil milk."

New technologies are being developed to reduce the initial bacterial counts of pasteurized milk to very low levels. Most enzymes will be denatured at the high temperatures used during pasteurisation, which means they will stop working. However, the heat-stable enzymes made by cold-tolerant bacteria will still affect the flavour quality of fluid milk and its products. Because of this, research into cold-tolerant bacteria and the spoilage enzymes they produce is vital.

"Milk can be contaminated with many different bacteria from the teat of the cow, the udder, milking equipment and the milking environment," said Dr Halpern. "Milk is refrigerated after collection to limit the growth of microbes. During refrigeration, cold-tolerant, or psychrotolerant, bacteria that can grow at 7°C dominate the milk flora and play a leading role in milk spoilage. Although we have not yet determined the impact on milk quality of C. oranimense and two other novel species (C. haifense and C. bovis) that were also identified from raw milk samples, the discovery will contribute to our understanding the physiology of these organisms and of the complex environmental processes in which they are involved. There is still a lot to learn about the psychrotolerant bacterial flora of raw milk."

There is an ongoing debate about the benefits and risks of drinking unpasteurised milk. Some people believe the health benefits resulting from the extra nutrient content of raw milk outweigh the risk of ingesting potentially dangerous microbes, such as Mycobacterium bovis, which can cause tuberculosis, and Salmonella species. Because of these risks, many countries have made the sale of unpasteurised milk illegal. Pasteurisation involves heating milk to around 72°C for 15-20 seconds in order to reduce the number of microbes in the liquid so they are unlikely to cause disease. Some bacteria produce extracellular enzymes that are remarkably heat tolerant and can resist pasteurisation. Lipase enzymes cause flavour defects and proteases can lead to bitterness and reduced yields of soft cheese.

Raw milk is consumed in rural areas of Europe and is also available in large cities. Distribution of unpasteurised milk is legal in England, Wales and Northern Ireland but illegal in Scotland. There are around 275 establishments in England that are approved by the Food Standards Agency to sell raw milk. However, the green-top bottles must display a warning that indicates the content has not been heat-treated and may contain harmful organisms. Furthermore, farmers are not allowed to sell unpasteurised dairy products if their herd is suspected to be infected with bovine tuberculosis.

"In Israel, dairy companies estimate that cold-tolerant bacteria can cause a 10% loss of milk fats and proteins. When researchers looked at these bacterial communities, they found that 20% of the bacteria isolated were found to be novel species and 5% of these were members of the genus Chryseobacterium," said Dr Halpern. "Because of their effect on milk quality, it is important that we develop sensitive and efficient tools to monitor the presence of these cold-tolerant bacteria."

Lacrimile lor ar trebui sa fie si ale noastre

Numiti-ne pe toti Muslim, Crestini sau Evrei daca vreti dar numiti-ne mai ales fiinte umane care inca credem ca atunci cind unul din noi sufera toti suferim, ca nu trebuie sa ne intrebam pentru cine bat clopotele, bat pentru noi toti pentru ca lacrimile unei mame in Gaza sint si lacrimile noastre, ca vaietele copiilor insingerati din spitale sint vaietele propriilor nostrii copii. Dati-mi voie sa inchei cu ultimul nume, dati-mi voie sa-i numesc pe aceia care trimit tancuri si avioane de lupta sa bombardeze bordeiele cu familii inghesuite fara ajutor si speranta din Gaza. Lasati-ma sa-i numesc pe cei ce impiedica dreptul copiilor la copilarie, dreptul bolnavilor la asistenta medicala, acei ce tortureaza, acei ce comit asasinate in camerele de hotel si in strazile din Gaza, acei ce interzic hrana celor ce au nevoie de ea acei ce suprima dreptul si justitia, aceia ce deformeaza adevarul prin propaganda guvernamentala oficiala. Hai sa-i apelam nu pe titlurile onorifice si pozitiile care le detin in putere ci pe numele pe care si l-au cistigat pentru ei insisi prin varsarea de singe inocent in nisipul din Gaza. Hai sa-i numim asa cum sint: Teroristi

Facilitati fiscale

D-le Pradila, ministerele nu pastreaza actele, numai cer acte, ei dau legile in favoarea lor, nu sa ajute micul investitor roman ci ca sa il descurajeze sa poata motiva ca romanii sint lenesi, analfabeti si incuiati si nu stiu sa isi compelteze 3 formulare ca sa obtina subventii. Nu acelasi lucru se intimpla si cu marii giganti agroindustriali care au personal calificat si care scuipa favoruri astfel incit birocratia noastra autohtona nu se mai poate abtine de la vouchere si beneficii. In cazul asta cum sa nu-i ajute? Eu trimit actele tin copiile la dosar luni de zile in asteptarea unui raspuns iar cind disperat ii intreb daca au binevoit sa se uite peste dosarul meu imi spun ca au pierdut actele sau ca a fost ceva "incomplet" si ca trebuie sa depun altele. Intre timp perioada s-a incheiat. Asta nu se face numai in Romania, se face peste tot unde este la conducere plutocratia oligarhica corporatista care are interesul de a domina prin forta, razboi, infometare, privare de resurse. Victimele si supravietuitorii in lipsa de alternative, nu vor avea decit o solutie supunerea oarba, sclavia mondiala cu 16 ore de lucru pe zi, 7 zile pe saptamina, o zi de concediu pe luna ca in China. Ei vor sa ne includa formal in lumea occidentala corporatista in descompunere/putrefactie, pentru ca stiu ca noi nu putem fi inclusi, una ptr. ca nu avem infrastructura necesara, educatia si mentaliatatea nu se schimba in 20 de ani, trebuie sa treaca citeva generatii, dar sanatoase, nu ceea ce avem azi, iar alta ptr a-si motiva ca in democratia corporatista egalitatea sanselor trimbitata este o realitate care noi cei inutili si disponibilizati nu stim sa o fructificam oferindu-le astfel lumina ptr adevaratii investitori, cei din lumea lor. Iar noi, aceleasi victime colaterale lasatii in grija p (sortii), raminem dependenti subzistenti de ajutoare internationale - in lipsa cum am spus de alternative - mediatizati pentru a evidentia latura filantropica a capitailsmului hidos cu moaca umana - Statul Corporatist. 

       

"Resolving conflict"

Step 1:

            Brigette DePape: She did not think that Stephan Harper's agenda for the future would be well for future generations so she took a stand by making a "Stop Harper" sign and held it up at a Senate meeting.

            Stephan Harper and company: Did not think that this action was appropriate and expelled her from the room with security and later fired her.

 

Step 2:

Brigette DePape wanted to change something in the government in a way that she thought would benefit her generation most. She believed that by showing that sign she would start a movement to eliminate Harper and improve plans for future generations.

 

Step 3:

            "Harper's agenda is disastrous for this country and for my generation," DePape said in the release. "We have to stop him from wasting billions on fighter jets, military bases, and corporate tax cuts while cutting social programs and destroying the climate. Most people in this country know what we need are green jobs, better medicare, and a healthy environment for future generations." – CBC.ca News

 

Step 4:

            I suggest that Brigette talks to Stephan Harper about her concerns.

 

Step 5:

            Harper could listen to what Brigette has to say about the current agenda and suggest making small changes to the area that she is concerned about. In return Brigette could say that if her suggestions didn't work out as planed then Harper could change the schedule back.

 

Step 6:

            In three weeks they can meet up again and see if what Brigette said is doing well and if it is then they could make even more improvements. If it is not going so well then they could change it back the way it was before.

 

Step 7:

            Brigette and Harper will meet up and discuss the concerns that Brigette has. Harper can make a few small changes in the most needed areas. In three weeks they meet up again to discuss how thing are going. If they are not doing well then Harper can change his agenda back, but if they are going more smoothly then before then they could make more changes and improvements.

ROSTUL
http://bradut-florescu.blogspot.com/2010/03/rostul.html

Când te desparţi din vina ta, încerci o vreme să te lupţi cu ireversibilul, îţi dai seama că n-are sens, te lamentezi de formă şi renunţi. Când te desparţi din vina celuilalt, ai nevoie de o perioadă de timp ca să înţelegi ce s-a întâmplat. Iei povestea de la capăt, pas cu pas şi te chinui să pricepi ce n-a fost bine şi unde ar fi trebuit ca lucrurile să apuce pe alt drum.

La fel se întâmplă şi atunci când te desparţi de ţara ta. Dezamăgit, înşelat, mânios, îndurerat. Nu ţi-e uşor s-o laşi. Ţara şi mama nu ţi le alegi. Te aşezi pe celălalt mal al lumii şi cauţi răspunsul: ce s-a întâmplat cu ţara mea de-am fost nevoit s-o părăsesc.

României i-a dispărut rostul. E o ţară fără rost, în orice sens vreţi voi. O ţară cu oameni fără rost, cu oraşe fără rost, cu drumuri fără rost, cu bani, muzică, maşini şi ţoale fără rost, cu relaţii şi discuţii fără rost, cu minciuni şi înşelătorii care nu duc nicăieri.

Există trei mari surse de rost pe lumea asta mare: familia, pământul şi credinţa.

Bătrânii. România îi batjocoreşte cu sadism de 20 de ani. Îi ţine în foame şi în frig. Sunt umiliţi, bruscaţi de funcţionari, uitaţi de copii, călcaţi de maşini pe trecerea de pietoni. Sunt scoşi la vot, ca vitele, momiţi cu un kil de ulei sau de mălai de care, dinadins, au fost privaţi prin pensii de rahat. Vite slabe, flămânde şi bătute, asta au ajuns bătrânii noştri. Câini ţinuţi afară iarna, fără măcar o mână de paie sub ciolane.
Dar, ce e cel mai grav, sunt nefolosiţi. O fonotecă vie de experienţă şi înţelepciune a unei generaţii care a trăit atâtea grozăvii e ştearsă de pe bandă, ca să tragem manele peste. Fără bătrâni nu există familie. Fără bătrâni nu există viitor.

Pământul. Care pământ? Cine mai e legat de pământ în ţara aia? Cine-l mai are şi cine mai poate rodi ceva din el? Majestatea Sa Regele Thailandei susţine un program care se intitulează “Sufficiency Economy”, prin care oamenii sunt încurajaţi să crească pe lângă case tot ce le trebuie: un fruct, o legumă, o găină, un purcel. Foarte inteligent. Dacă se întâmplă vreo criză globală de alimente, thailandezii vor supravieţui fără ajutoare de la ţările “prietene”.
La noi chestia asta se numeşte “agricultură de subzistenţă” şi lui tanti Europa nu-i place. Tanti Europa vrea ca ţăranii să-şi cumpere roşiile şi şoriciul de la hypermarketuri franţuzeşti şi germane, că de-aia avem UE. Cântatul cocoşilor dimineaţa, lătratul vesel al lui Grivei, grohăitul lui Ghiţă până de Ignat, corcoduşele furate de la vecini şi iazul cu sălcii şi broaşte sunt imagini pe care castraţii de la Bruxelles nu le-au trăit, nu le pot înţelege şi, prin urmare, le califică drept nişte arhaisme barbare. Să dispară!
Din beţivii, leneşii şi nebunii satului se trag ăştia care ne conduc acum. Neam de neamul lor n-a avut pământ, ca nu erau în stare să-l muncească.

Noi, în calitate de comuniști români dar și militanți pentru pace, membri ai Asociației Militanților pentru Pace Egalitate și Progres Social”Scânteia”, privim cu mare îngrijorare şi condamnăm cu fermitate agresiunea brutală a câtorva ţări membre NATO împotriva statului libian independent şi suveran.
Până acum imperialiştii americani, francezi şi britanici, cei mai importanţi reprezentanţi ai alianţei imperialiste NATO, au întreprins peste 100 de atacuri aeriene şi cu rachete de croazieră împotriva Libiei, atacuri soldate până acum cu sute de morţi din rândul populației civile.
Imperialiştii americani, britanici şi francezi, sprijiniţi şi de alţi imperialişti, cum ar fi de exemplu cei israelieni, au atacat Libia pentru că doresc să compenseze teribila pierdere pe care blocul imperialist din jurul SUA a suferit-o la începutul acestui an în Egipt, când o AUTENTICĂ revoluţie populară, la care au participat oameni din cele mai diverse pături sociale şi forţe politice, a măturat de la putere marioneta americano-israeliană Hosni Mubarak. Pierderea Egiptului, ţară cu peste 80 de milioane de locuitori, pierderea Tunisiei, unde un alt satrp al imperialiştilor, Ben Ali, domnea în mod tiranic, reclama pentru blocul imperialist din jurul SUA o COMPENSAŢIE, adică locul semicoloniilor Egipt şi Tunisia să fie luat de o altă semicolonie importantă în zonă, actualmente stat independent şi suveran, condus de liderul antiimperialist Muammer Gaddafi. Aşa se explică aşa-zisa “revoltă din Libia”.

How to Overthrow Corporate Rule in 5 Not-so-easy Steps

Resources and information on fighting corporate power, democratizing our government and freeing people's time.

Many people are spending a lot of their time volunteering to stop specific environmental threats, to address a specific labor issue, or to stop various other corporate abuses to our communities. The number of problems seems endless. Isn't there a faster way to save the world?
This page is devoted to those who are interested in getting to the root of society's problems. How nice would it be if our government wasn't answering to their corporate masters, but to community concerns? How much easier would our efforts be if people weren't so overworked and had more time to volunteer? Wouldn't it be great to have the media reporting critically on serious community issues rather than pandering to the the interests of their wealthy owners and advertizers?
These are the reforms that make other reforms possible. If fighting for institutional change is too difficult for you, jump down to the section on personal things you can do to consume less.

Take away their money:

1. • Stop privatization / Re-socialize systems
     Privatized systems mean that corporations get to profit from providing important social services which could be provided by (hopefully democratically-controlled) public bodies. Get involved in efforts to stop privitization of schools, municipal water/sewer systems, trash collection or other social services. Better yet, get involved in efforts to put services like health care or electric power under public control.
     White Paper on Privatization
     Polaris Institute
     Public Services International Research Unit
   • Boycott / protest big corporations
     Withdraw your support from large corporations by consuming less and supporting local, small businesses when possible.
     Corporate Dirt Archives (learn what's wrong with specific corporations)
     What should I buy?? (personal things you can do to consume less)
   • Fight corporate "wealthfare"
     Get corporations off the public dole and work to stop subsidy abuse by opposing things like public funding for private stadiums, excessive and unneeded highway projects and other tax breaks, subsidies and bailouts which are not in the public interest. Welfare is for people, not corporations!
