Throwing Up With Soapy Taste In Mouth

Haiti: God squeezes but does not release Powers

As the saying goes a friend of mine "God squeezes, but not loose." Between God and man we have buried the Haitian people, so ultimately, the landfill of history, as we have done with 80 percent of the African continent. And we are advancing a lot ...
I like especially the article Maruja Torres , which begins:
"A new asshole with a capital nature, always, when he kills, as if the majestic appoints Parca-ha left a devastated country and an international community that turns to send help. Devastate and tip are two verbs in the process of devaluation, because of the use and abuse. For not only the mother earth shakes from time to time to crush the most pariah among its occupants. The first world also helps with their invasions, their plundering, their lend a hand to corrupt governments and their foolish and void understanding of local realities. The map is halo of pins that indicate the landfill of history created by the human hand, and the tapes that same hand has permitted, in a vain attempt to stem the bleeding. "
Here are some facts about a country called Haiti
In 2004, the Security Council adopted a new UN invasion of Haiti. Since then, 7,031 "blue helmets" and 2,034 police, supported by 488 international staff, control the country. The troops occupying the "United Nations Mission for the Stabilization of Haiti (MINUSTAH) are commanded by the generals of Lula, and are composed mainly by Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Guatemala, among others. Brazil and Uruguay are the ones with the largest contingent of soldiers.

Haitian police chief is an African: Moutanga Mamadou Diallo, the Republic of Guinea.

Five years after the invasion, the Haitian people are still in terrible misery. The "humanitarian intervention" of the UN has only brought more "stability" for multinational companies that install maquiladora factories in free zones and exploit natural resources. For poor and working people no improvement. The crumbling health and education. Civil infrastructure collapsed. When the people protest (which happens regularly), it is worse, is brutally suppressed by the "blue helmets." Popular and humanitarian organizations speak of hundreds of dead, wounded and imprisoned.
When the shocking images of the earthquake began to spread, "Latin American Overview" reported a new political assassination. Upon leaving the University, was shot the writer John. Anil Louis-Juste, author of numerous complaints about the occupation of MINUSTAH and advocate self-determination of the Haitian people.
Amidst all the tragedy, CNN in English stressed, finally, an "encouraging news": Obama government decided the "temporary suspension" of the deportation of "illegal immigrants" Haitians.

How To Make Cool Designs On A Graphing Calculator

communism or criticize without postmodernism

can be left without critical postmodern lexicon and a good example is Daniel Bensaid, philosopher and revolutionary activist, who died yesterday, after a long illness. Here is the last paragraph of your last item. In the case of "Powers of communism", a short, heterodox and clarifying text he wrote for the No. 4 Contretemps journal, which was founded, and has published the magazine Viento Sur .

Communism is not a pure idea, not a doctrinal model of society. Is not the name of a State, nor of a new mode of production. It's a move that permanently exceeds / deleted the established order. But it is also the goal that emerged from this movement, guided and allowed against unprincipled policies, actions, not continuous, daily improvisations, to determine what about the target and that away from him. In this title, is not an objective and scientific knowledge of the way, but a regulatory strategy hypothesis. Names, inseparably, the dream of a different world irreducible, justice, equality and solidarity, the permanent movement aimed at overthrowing the existing order in the era of capitalism, and the hypothesis that guides this movement toward a radical change in property relations and power away from the accommodations with less harm than would be the shortest path to the worst.

crisis, social, economic, ecological, and moral capitalism does not back their own limits and at the price of an excess and a growing injustice, threatening both the species and planet, put back on the agenda "Today's radical communism" that Benjamin invoked against the rise of inter-war dangers.

What To Wear To Morning Naval Retirement Cermoney

Patio Open Letter to the Mayor of Madrid Maravillas

The first is that we are glad to hear you talk about us and we in the media after two and half years of silence. So finally, is the social pressure, and not his good nature and disposition, which makes the politicians talk.
says he speaks to "encourage" to submit the draft to public tenders Patio Maravillas. When the company
Triball and council began work on the remodeling called "triangle of Crossbow" , Thereby increasing rents in the Malasaña, make-up of "pop culture" which is nothing but a speculative operation, moving into the neighborhood and killing the old rental flats-what tender won?. What
participation model proposed for the city council that social dialogue becomes a form? Now you will come to defend the public? "After handing the income of the citizens of Madrid to the private sector to build infrastructure do not need and never ask?.
Finally, what tender was awarded to the owner of Agreement 8 the right to private pension provision, which has remained closed for over ten years? What defense of the public has led to hundreds of riot in the street Agreement on 5 January?. No. El Patio Maravillas
and won his own contest for two years. El Patio Maravillas does not belong to the public or private property, but civil society in Madrid. Only she who has given birth years. To conquer civil and social rights, citizenship Madrid no need to apply any record.
To fill projects and forms to legitimize their city model look elsewhere. We have another hunch. Can, as they have so far, trying to "disintegrate" and make us disappear, but know that Madrid's civil society, citizenship rebel who walks the streets of this city has already decided. And as for us disappear ... no offense, but we believe that, for the moment, we are winning.
us and we do not occupying the building at Calle Agreement No. 8 and the street fish 21 to limit ourselves to raise our voice and we hear with the hope that the council repair in our presence and let us participate in their model city, but to build together other lives and other cities. Daily suffer unemployment or job insecurity, the disintegration of the minimum space that created a collective defense our fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers. We live in a border violence of any kind or through the systematic privatization of services, culture, etc. We know exactly what is being "integrated" into their world. We have given no choice in the matter. What we offer from the council is not new, is the song that you sing every morning and offer us the lullaby every night before bed. And we and we are here to sing other songs and dance other dances. So his proposal to "business as usual" us and we say no.
So no. Without respecting our autonomy, respect our ways organization, seeking to reduce this experience to that of a public cultural center there is no negotiation or agreement possible. If you want to talk about how to ensure continuity of Wonders Patio project as the people of this city it is demanding from its opening, here we have to sit and talk. It would be a nice way to start doing what any member of the administration should do: "obeying"
