... why madness is taking over the world ...

... and what to do about it ...

Coupling available radio frequency technologies with amplification (see NASA silent speaker), reading people mind seems now a reasonable reachable technology.

The problem of governments pushing to "chip" with RFID devices their citizens opens a serious ethical problem, and is a step towards destroying democracy planetwise.

The fact that not only freedom of speech, but also freedom of thought is in danger, may push humanity back thousands of years in history, humans must prepare to fight for their freedom.

I urge people to take action and resist, to prevent the "chip" problem to become the instrument of the new holocaust. Also I invite people to emigrate and support with financial investment, governments and countries with legislation prohibiting human implant of chips, while desupporting financially the countries that plan to implement human chipping technology.

... amen ...

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Benjamin Franklin

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." - James Madison


"I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious." - Thomas Jefferson - Letter to William Ludlow, 1824

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson

"No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer or if he fall in defense of the liberties and Constitution of his country." - Daniel Webster

"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world." - Daniel Webster, 1851

"Contrary to the Marxists, the Nazis did not advocate public ownership of the means of production. They did demand that the government oversee and run the nation's economy. The issue of legal ownership, they explained, is secondary: what counts is the issue of control. Private citizens, therefore, may continue to hold titles to property-so long as the state reserves to itself the unqualified right to regulate the use of their property." - Ominous Parallels, Leonard Peikoff

... rants ...

I just finished reading the troll post number one-zillion and something, over the windows versus Linux OS battle, that other unknown troll has digged, causing a surge of arguing as usual. By the way, the Steve Jobs of Linux are at least two, Stallman and Torvalds, and money is not the metric of everything in the universe as you folks think in amerika.

That's why Saint Francis may have not lived a comfortable life like reverend Dollar (is not a joke, it is his name, Google 'IRS Dollar' and you get the article), but Saint Francis is part of history while reverend Dollar may only remain in the history of the IRS claims, suppose they keep the records of the deceased after death.

Anyways, while I was reading the article, flashes from the past came to my mind, from the times the only Microsoft thing existing, was a BASIC compiler, I think it was called BASCom, was not that bad for the times of CP/M but I used Nevada FORTRAN and COBOL, cheaper, producing portable source for other places than PC's and more useful work.

In the early 80's I was asked an opinion on appropriation plans, and I suggested to give a try to a distributed architecture of servers/workstations of the AT&T B class. For various reasons the choices were however going in different directions, and I therefore opted for Honeywell.

I never had an MS/DOS machine, until Windows became a "standard", mainly for lack of decently priced competitors, Concurrent DOS and DESQviewX were clearly superior, but nobody really bought them for serious projects around the environment I was in, nor bothered to ask what we could have wanted.

Anyways, one day I found out that the geniuses in the engineering area, had appropriated a zillion of DOS machines with Windows 3.0 to build a distributed architecture using the Honeywell servers and LAN Manager network. That's when my battle with viruses started.

Never seen a virus before. Not in VMS, not in GCOS, not in CP/M, not in Xenix, not on Mac OS, so I assume, unless anybody can prove me wrong, viruses officially were introduced to computing with the advent of Microsoft introduced features. The introduction of the problem created two new working positions in my branch, and an entire new office at general services, just to support the PCs (I can't resist not to laugh when somebody talks of windows TCO, I had a GCOS machine with years of uptime, all it did in NINE years was crashing one single LARK disk, and the VAX did not even have a single failure in the same time period, I did not check the uptime but I'm quite sure it was the same).

At this times, the Windows machines troubles, in addition to the other folks mentioned, took half my time, and some unaccountable time from the users trying to fix their system before finally giving up and calling from help, admitting of having been 'bugged' somehow. For whatever reason, my Xenix box was not having any issues either, nor it was the OS/2 server, nor the VAX, nor the GCOS systems, not the Mac's, all on the same network, just DOS and Windows.

Next, I left for a new life and now I had to pay for my own software (sigh). I found some work with this software company, and they had a few VAX, a few Alpha, and a few PCs, we ran Tru64, SCO, VMS and NT. The miracle discovery was that there were no viruses running on the Alpha NT, so in a minute of hope I thought that finally windows x86 and PCs were going to be in a giant future trash can, and Alpha would have became the paradise of Windows computing.

In the mean time, I was running Windows at home, and at the business, struggling with the viruses, and hoping that the new emerging Linux would catch up to be usable as SCO. The main issue was recompiling the kernel, on a 386 sometimes it would take all night. At one point I even had one of the first Slackware and Debian running, with dial-in over the phone, so I could provide a cheap x86 stations running a free OS.

For about seven years after, I was out of the computing business, and during this time my systems were dual boot until the advent of XP. Microsoft in the mean time cancelled the Alpha version, obviously when you have something that works and with no viruses, why keep it, it would look bad if you are in the virus distribution servers market (I did not claim the right for this one, he he).

With XP I decided I was done with MS. I bought one for my kid, that's it. I still run 2k versions, only inside virtual machines, most of the times with the network disconnected, and just to run legacy applications until they are ready for the garbage. I may have to buy one more XP64 maybe, but I hope by the time this XP64 will be good to trash, there may be no more need of Windows and MS for the things I do.

Now I run Debian GNU for multimedia, and develop on Oracle on Fedora, Suse and Solaris. I could use Designer in the Windows VM if I have to, but I generally use XE on the Fedora installs. I found peace, no more viruses, no more wasted time, so hopefully as there were no viruses before Microsoft, the hope remains that there will be none left after Microsoft.

If I had to give advice to anybody, I would suggest to buy a Sparc, dual boot with Solaris and Fedora Core, and an AMD_64, quadruple boot with Fedora, Debian, Suse and Solaris. Also, for the ones that are nostalgic of the times of reliable computing, an old Alpha dual boot with Fedora and VMS is a kick, Alpha core runs very very nice on my Miata. I have not had a chance to own an Itanium 64, that would have been my next wish, possibly with VMS, HP-UX and Debian, and maybe also a newer Ibm 6000, but it may not happen any soon.

... about the bandits (part 2) ...

To be able to define a society as "civilized" it is required the same level of civilization to apply both ways.

As anybody would think is a madness to give an ecclesiastical authority position to each government member, as it was at the times of the "Pharaons", just because of his status, so it is to permit appointing of people who claim to believe in higher authorities than the legitimate governments. The conflict of interest is clear, and so is the basic violation of requirements of unicity of rules and command, making this type of people "unfit" to represent common law interest. I am sure most of the very few religious spirits who are not religious just because of the power and social advantage of being so, may probably agree on this issue. It is quite simple. if you don't believe in a republic because you want a monarchy, don't seek public office and go open the political party for a poll to establish a monarchy, and if you don't believe in the authority of governments because you believe in the highest authority of god, don't seek public office and go open a church.

The second part of this problem, is the misuse of governments funds to finance churches, and the lack of collection of taxes for such institutions, which should technically considered a form of racketeering. Obviously, if anybody should be equal in front of law, in a "real" state of law, churches should equally pay taxes as corporations.

The third part of the problem are the basic human rights of birth, poverty, death, marriage and health, whereas strongly governments and churches are allied with the organized crime racket, to squeeze whatever they can from their citizens. A "civilized" country, one in the future, because nothing as such exists to our days, would nationalize and provide free this services to their citizens. Also a "civilized" country would not stick it's nose in a discriminatory way into contracts such as marriages, that should regarded the same way as business contracts. It is not the business of governments to indicate or to determine "morals". So it should be an argument left to the snake oil salesmen to discuss on sundays on their altars.

may you all live interesting times

... taking care of the bandits ...

The late 20Th century has replaced the colonialism of the countries with the colonialism of the multinationals and the currency. The dismiss of Bretton Woods agreements forced unilaterally by one country to the whole world, for its selfish benefit, has created a system of new colonialism, the colonialism of the currency.

My friend time ago asked me what was my suggestion, and I indicated the solution to the problem in consolidation of larger continental currencies. The independent choice of a pan-Arabic currency, a pan-Asian currency and a pan-Latin-American currency, would exactly sort this effect and set back the united states and the dollar where it belongs.

Unfortunately we are a long way from this, because people are easy to corrupt and most of world countries are ruled by puppets at the service of the American finance. Only when the people will start setting aside their personal dirty interest, justice will be served.

.. from a new book I'm writing: "about the empirical onthology" ...

Why governments and churches distort the concept of nature


The answer is quite simple, because is something they can turn into a profit and more political power, and use as escape goat to change subject when they are caught stealing, murdering, conspiring, you name it. They are not stealing, murdering, conspiring, they have the approval from god, they do it for god, one nation under god, they are all on a mission from god like the blues brothers.

Look for example at bisexuality, why should not be "ethical", half animals and humans in nature are bisexual. So if the answer is in the bible that states the ones that lie with their own sex should be killed, so Christians should kill all the dogs and half the Indian truck drivers ?

The real story is that the "against nature" wording is used to pursue an agenda, when is convenient. Because if people should chose to be "conformant to nature" instead than the other way, then eating your born dead babies like cats do, would be acceptable, as long as they die on their own. In fact, in Cambodia, eating dead human bodies is not a crime, as long as you don't kill them.

The whole problem with what is "against nature" depends on the subject speaking, subjects have different natures, so what is natural for one may not for another. Like for instance, since bonobos spend all day having promiscuous sex orgies, should all in the Vatican do so, to be "pro nature" ?. Now the point to make here is that morals are different things than rights of law, so if the law chooses to be legitimate, has to found its bases not on the concept of moral or nature, but on the concept of damage. A country that can not make this "distinguo", like for instance the united states, can not be called technically a "state of law".

Now it becomes suddenly clear that where there is no social damage there should be no regulating laws, but this is unfortunately a concept that bigots can not understand, so in any country successfully dominated by the church-finance "sacre" alliance, justice is not just, because punishes non-crimes that are not damaging, like consumption of light drugs, while legally permitting damaging crimes, like usury or government sponsored murder sometimes called also death penalty.

That's why bisexuals are hanged in Iran, that's why eugenetics, the base theory that led to German Nazism, was forged in the united states, or that's why Americans feel free to torture people, and also in their "grandeur" redefine the meaning of the word in the dictionary, because, like the french king sun probably would say in this circumstance, "they are the semantics".

That is also why the universal misconception that free market loving libertarians are running the united states is dead wrong. The united states are ran by an alliance of socialist-bigots and greed-obsessed-haters, where some are both, American libertarians are less than 2% in this nation, when the above crooks chat of "free market" they play with the double-sense of the word in English, what they really mean is that they want to own the world market for free.

So I would just invite humans, regardless of their country, race, tribe or species, to be more tolerant, and to start trying analyzing if the theory of damage could not be something their god they mention so much in their speeches, could like better than their own current interpretation. Maybe something they could all understand better is mentioning a Prophet that always claimed not to be one, Zoroaster, "think good deeds, do good deeds, live good", so all of you think about this words and what they mean.

... prodotti compatibili con l' ambiente che l'industria si rifiuta di vendere ...

La realta' e' che il metodo di produzione basato sulla logica consumista, anziche' sulla logica di 'prodotto eterno' distrugge l'ambiente. La soluzione non piace all' industria, che ovviamente vuole succhiare il sangue a tutti, come i vampiri, ma la realta' ecologica non si chiama 'usa e getta' ma 'usa e conserva, per sempre':

-stampanti senza caricatori (ricaricabili con inchiostro, come i plotter degli anni 80)
-gadgets alimentati con cellule fotovoltaiche senza batterie
-veicoli diesel raffreddati ad aria multicarburante con lubrificazione a perdita senza batterie (con APU o starters pneumatici), con valvole rotanti e cilindri accessibili e riparabili individualmente. Il fallimento del sistema di raffreddamento liquido e' evidente, se cosi' non fosse computers ed aeroplani sarebbero raffreddati ad acqua e non ci sarebbe nessuna necessita' di risanare ecologicamente le aree di rottamazione.
-Le emissioni vanno controllate nei riscaldamenti delle case, nelle centrali elettriche, nel trasporto pesante, nelle ciminiere delle fabbriche. Le auto sono solo una goccia nell' oceano dell' emissione nociva.
-impianti in costruzioni edili con recupero acque piovane, taniche di riserva e stabilizzazione termica sottotetto, depurazione o riutilizzo delle acque grigie, riutilizzo bio-energetico delle acque nere
-computers modulari standardizzati con moduli inter-operabili, ciclo di vita di un modulo cpu di un computer ? -> 20 anni ? . Quando ha finito il lavoro di workstation, va nei sistemi multiprocessore, e quando e' obsoleto li, va nel mondo degli 'embedded', ovviamente la logica di tutto il sistema va cambiata. Da una parte buttiamo gli 'obsoleti', e dall' altra li ricostruiamo come embedded boards, un sistema completamente senza senso.
-centrali termiche ad idrogeno, nucleare ?, no grazie, costa poco quando si costruisce, ma l'industria ha mentito, i costi di bonifica sono cento volte piu' alti delle stime, chiedetevi per un istante il perche' l' america non costruisce piu' reattori nucleari da 30 anni, poi ditemi la sola risposta che ha senso.
-bassi consumi elettrici, LED e cosi' via

... a public domain project ...

Lamee' technology versus a lame technology (RFID)
... amen ...

... from another new book I'm writing "Technologically progressive" ...

Modularity and interoperability would be the success key of any new mass-distributed mean of manufacturing, construction and transport.

While the materials exist, the issue is within the design logic. Most of raw parts are built in different measures to fit a design, after transformation, or custom-built, and therefore "non inter-operable".

For instance, in the case of frames, the design logic could change if we start thinking of a smaller "standard size" "interoperable" component, and of design logic of the system whereas the "design" consists on assembling the base blocks in the optimal configuration to obtain absolute oustanding performance, "without" altering the base block.

Now an air carrier can be recycled into enough modules to build two thousand homes or two thousand cars, at end of operational life, generating "positive income" at disposal, instead than the additional liability of spending more bucks to sink it in the middle of the pacific.

We have forgotten the most important phase in engineering, or we have not learned the most powerful force in nature and evolution: "disposal" and "reutilization".

We have also forgotten another critical item: "strategic reserves". Nature has its own, somewhere, of anything needed in its cycles. We do not, and we rely on industries that may not exist at the time we may need them.

Probably 90% of any structure human made can be reduced to interoperable triangles, a modest contibute from Geometry, to the miopic boxy car designers and box home builders, that can not see the round curves of the Universe.

... come e' accaduto che i "paladini della liberta' nell' occidente" stiano divenendo i burattinari architetti del nuovo incubo mondiale ...

Questo e' quel che l' America era:

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania (1759), quoting Cesare Beccaria

Questo e' quel che l' America e' oggi:

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans."
-- William Jefferson Clinton, USA Today, March 11, 1993.

"The American standard of life is not in discussion" -- George Bush (before the invasion of Afghanistan)

In parole povere, interpretando fra le righe della alleanza santa di queste due famiglie, che ora guida il paese da venti anni, e probabilmente continuera' a farlo con qualche nuova scusa, lo standard di vita rimarra' uguale in america per i pochi figli dell' oca bianca, "non gente qualunque". Neppure la gente qualunque in america, ha piu' diritti, figuriamoci gli alleati esteri, o addirittura i non alleati.

Non sembra questo un chiaro progetto su scala mondiale, volto a mandare al collasso tutte le economie del mondo, per poi comprare a prezzi stracciati cosa rimane ? (proprio come in russia, direbbe il mio amico di san francisco). La realta' sembra essere che i paesi che non permettono il "lassez faire" richiesto per fagocitare le loro economie, vengono attaccati militarmente, e quelli che lo permettono vengono distrutti finanziariamente.

In parole povere, in guerra o in economia, loro attuano la politica dei "larghi orizzonti" cosi' come De Gaulle all' epoca dell' uscita dall' alleanza militare della nato, giustamente, intraprese.

Ora la conclusione. Se non c'e' parita' di relazione non c'e' alleanza. Lasciategli fare la loro nuova nato nei paesi dell' est. Non c'e' ragione per alcun paese europeo di sottostare ad una relazione-capestro, non basata su parita di diritti. Se loro ci considerano nemici comunque, perche' essere compromessi in una politica internazionale lurida come "alleati".

Non sarebbe forse meglio adottare la saggezza del Generalissimo, che di fronte ad una guerra oviiamente demenziale, decise la neutralita' della Spagna ? Forse, alla resa dei conti, l' america finira' per attaccare anche l'europa, ma se siamo abbastanza fortunati, con una politica di neutralita' la lista di altri paesi da attaccare prima di noi e lunga lunga.

Personalmente, io leggo in questa gente, quando parlano, la realta' dei fatti. Leggo nella loro mente gli insulti, leggo nel loro linguaggio del corpo il disgusto del fatto che devono mantenere una conversazione falso-cortese quando parlano con qualcuno che non e' "dei loro", o anche con i loro inferiori, perche' il classismo e la discriminazione castale, qui, sono la regola.

Percio' non aspettatevi che questa sia la stessa gente del 45, quella era brava gente, ma i pochi rimasti sono negli ospedali geriatrici. Quelli che sono cresciuti qui' nel dopoguerra, sono stati indottrinati in uno "stato di polizia" dove l' unico concetto comune e' la loro "superiorita" e desiderio di "dare lezioni" a tutto il resto del mondo, quelli che, dicono loro, "non hanno standards", perche' per parafrasare il re sole "lo standard sono loro".

... per tutti quelli che vogliono in europa un sistema sanitario simile a quello americano ...

Quando gli ipocriti (tutti rigorosamente cristiani, ce ne fosse uno ateo), parlano di "diritto alla vita" intendono "diritto alla vita che fa comodo a loro, politicamente", nel gioco del potere della casta.

Questo e' praticamente il risultato di un sistema di assistenza medica sul modello statunitense. Chi puo' pagare paga. Chi non puo' pagare ed e' servo delle chiese riceve la carita', e chi non puo' pagare muore.

Da chi e' stato inventato questo sistema ? Dalle multinazionali statunitensi, che lo hanno imposto al paese grazie a politici svenduti al miglior offerente. Ora stanno tentando di esportare questo modello CRIMINALE anche in Canada, dove vogliono distruggere il sistema sanitario pubblico con lo stesso metodo, comprando i politici.

Certo, il mercato internazionale di organi umani e' una grande e redditizia risorsa, per gli assassini legalizzati delle corporazioni del ventunesimo secolo, che si sentono nel diritto di monopolizzare il mercato della vita e della morte, perche' loro come dice il dio dollaro, "confidano in dio".

Praticamente un nuovo sistema legalizzato per assassinare chi non e' "conforme" alla logica del potere. Un sistema evoluto, non classificabile come "genocidio" perche' non fa' distinzione di razza, ma solo di censo o di sottomissione religiosa (l'uno o l'altro, i dollari o la carita' del prelato).

Dai tempi dell' eugenetica e dell' AG Farben che supportava l'olocausto, solo una cosa e' cambiata, il metodo, quanto piu' subdolo perche' invisibile, ma sempre basato su tendenze omofobiche verso qualche categoria bersaglio di un paese che si sente investito da dio in persona del diritto di decidere di vita e morte del prossimo.

Pensate per un momento che chiunque vi sia caro, sia destinato nel disegno celle caste di potere, a corto o a lungo termine, a divenire un nullatenente ammalato in mezzo alla strada. Pensate per un momento che chiunque vi sia caro, un giorno, debba morire perche' non puo' pagare il conto dell' ospedale. Questo e' il disegno dei cleptocrati, clericali o monetari che siano non fa' alcuna differenza.

Invito tutti gli amici, e tutti i cittadini in Europa, alla RESISTENZA, non a parole, ma nei fatti. Quando i governi corrotti dalle multinazionali tentino di cambiare leggi, pensate che voi, le vostre mogli, i vostri parenti e i vostri figli, molto probabilmente diverranno tutti potenziali vittime di questo sistema che non ammette dissenso.

Questo non e' un discorso di politica di partito, ma di logica omofobica, di odio e vittimizzazione della dignita' umana, percio' destra, sinistra o centro, non hanno alcun significato, ma l' unica domanda da porsi e' "hanno diritto costoro di determinare vita e morte ?", ed anche "negare cure mediche e speculare su organi umani, puo' essere considerato un crimine contro l'umanita?". Per me la risposta e' ovvia.

E' necessario introdurre in ambito europeo legislazione che limiti il tipo di impresa autorizzata ad operare nell ambito della comunita'. Poiche' non esiste metodo per controllare l'industria multinazionale estera, allo stadio di produzione, sarebbe bene proibire l'operato in europa di multinazionali estere che agiscano in settori strategici per la sopravvivenza umana. Cio' include non solo il campo medico e sanitario, ma anche settori come chimica, biogenetica e bioingegneria.

Se cio' non fosse possibile, come al solito a causa della corruzione generata da questi soggetti, non rimarrebbe alla gente altra alternativa, se non la RESISTENZA, non a parole, non con gli scioperi della fame, non con i cortei, ma con la azione concreta, come nel 43, per davvero. Gente di questo tipo, ed i loro tirapiedi e servi politici ed industriali, meritano di penzolare dai balconi, e' ora che il mondo se ne renda conto.

Il fine ultimo di questi cialtroni e' il dio dollaro, e quando l'europa sottovaluti il rischio legato a tale logica, il vecchio continente sarebbe esso stesso a rischio di fare fine simile al genocidio degli indiani d'america o degli schiavi d'africa.

... from a new book I'm writing: "about the empirical onthology" ...

Apparently the churches have never heard of the roman expression "medice cura te ipso".

The history of churches appears to present a consistent pattern of abuse within the centuries, so why should anybody expect such abuse to be ended now ?, maybe because they repented from their sins and self-absolved themselves ?, or because "they state" a god nobody has ever seen "forgave their crimes ?". Therefore while the concept of ethics and spirituality could be synonym of a legitimate humanist concern, the empirical evidence of the behavior of churches, makes church ethics an oxymoron.

Certain worlds have traditionaly become feuds of such abuse, such as the "vountarism and charity" industry and the retail industry. Within the charity and voluntarism industry, such vision is perpetuated in organizing services for the religiously submitted desperates, so that a high level of power is achieved by the religious referents whenever some dirty work to save them is needed.

Whitin the religiously obedient retail industry, such path is perpetuated with the same kind of connivence, and the word tweakers (note the expression of common language of drug "dealers"), and dealers are synonyms, for instance. Not that I may have anything against tweakers, "per se". The problem lays in deeper reasoning schemas of the industry, whereas further oxymorons like "business ethics" are used. There is no such ethics as "business ethics", there is either one or the other, unless you are a non profit corporation distributing free commodities and services, that is the only possible "ethic business".

The results of such logic, added with the enourmous social value of forgiving sins, creates a society where tweakers manage or sabotage the others, either in religion, or business or both, because obviously the "motivation" of any tweaker is wide stronger than the one of anybody normal, and in absence of real ethics, substituted by the profit logic oxymoron of "business ethics", is self explanatory of why the system tends to stabilize into the pyramid of tweakers.

That's why anytime I hear the words "faith", "motivation" or "ethics" I suddenly feel in need to go look for a rifle. I learned with the years, that people concerned about real ethics, use more wording as "fair profit", and "human natural rights", instead than than the prior ones. Humans that preach godness and have dirt in their yard, are the best "empirical" evidence of the historical connection and jerarchical relation between the sinners and the ones that "forgive" sins, and indicate clearly that religions in general are type of cults, and organized religion itself is a form of constitutionally protected racketeering, whereas constitutions are unfortunatelly not worded to make a distinguo with the legitimate and natural right of choice of spiritual belief, and businesses or other forms of association that call themselves religions.

Nietzsche wrote " ... has not observed life carefully, the one that has not seen the 'charitable' hand that kills ... ". We would add, "has forgotten history as well", and the "charitable" hand is the one above. They wont kill you in their church or business, but they'll make your life miserable, they'll conspire lying about you with their employees and congregations, they'll manipulate your family against you, they'll slave you until you are sick and with no energies, they'll discriminate you on anything you do, they'll make evident to their disciples you are "fair game", so the "seculars", the ones criminal under them that had their sins absolved by their god, could target you more effectivelly.

Unfortunatelly, in the western definition of "state of law", the provvisions of rackeetering don't include such physical and juridical subjects, nor the ignorance of the people helps in applying the existing legislations to destroy such types of rackeetering, because the ignorant folk can not see the danger of the hate churches produce.

I'm sure however that the survivers of the second war concentration camps, can see the the historical and empirical conclusions here. The thousand of years of faith related wars, for the ones that believe in historical evidence, should leave no doubt. The burning crosses in the southern states should leave no doubt. The terror regimes of theocracies should leave no doubts.

So we want to extend an invitation to any human being valuing ethics and spirituality, to extend an inter-faith message to each other, to stop supporting organized religion, to stop meeting in their locations, to resign from works where religious talks are made, and to start assembling in public parks, with other people of good will, orderly, in small groups and at different times, to discuss the real issues of life and death, without having to support the snake oil god salesmen of the churches and their politics, in the process.

Any political issue of spiritual concern can be adressed in a civilized manner, by universal ballot. There is no reason of "representatives" middlemen milking the cow, neither in the feuds of organized religion nor in the political one. Time to go back to DIRECT democracy, since the indirect representatives trusted deserve no trust, at the bottom line, "the people" do.

In the little prince, there is a mention that more or less sounds like 'monarchs have no peers, only subjects'. However, the king in the little prince is a very wise king, that listens of what his subjecs say, need and want, and exercises power in that direction.

I wish this was the situation in amerika, but unfortunatelly is not. Amerikans see foreigners as 'subjects', therefore we have to assume amerikans are all kings.

Anyways, if anybody in the world would ever think this people here would consider them peers, think again, they dont, and they never will, they have been indoctrinated and grown on the myth of the american supremacy, and they think that they are a superior race just because they are born in amerika.

Amerika is no longer just a plutocracy, but is now also a kleptocracy.

... about glass recycling ...

Ok, here is the situation in northern california:
-glass and plastic bottles go in the garbage, weigh too much or are too big in volume, and have a redemption value not justifying collecting them, or nobody wants them, like happens with wine bottles.
-seems to me quite of a huge amount of glass and plastic, so I'm asking myself why there is no separate collection of glass and plastic in a separate can, like in the nations that don't have so high standards like amerika
... just my five cents ...
... I hope amerikans that know everyting by statute under god, may not be offended by such a suggestion, by a poor non-amerikan peon ...

... how amerika is being framed ...

From The Washington Post of 2006/02/15:
South Riding, Va.: Which is worse?
- Knowing that there are hackers controlling botnets, or
- Knowing that companies like JP Morgan Chase, Cingular, T-Mobile, Monster.com and Expedia.com will pay for their ads to appear on the computers on the botnet?
It would seem to me that part of the solution is to convince the big companies to stop paying 180solutions to distribute their ads.

now, for a minute, think of this:

-the government, the industry and any other spammers now have the power to target, for whatever "agenda" they may have, the mail address of the people they dislike, with the spam "designed" to trigger the electronic surveillance on them (like keywords of the kind "anarchism", "terrorism" and so forth).

... nice, not even orwell had tought of such perversion level ...

... about the economic turmoil ...

causes:
-quadrupled public deficit
-wild speculation
-deregulated usury, spelled also as "fees"
-"at will" labor policy
-unregulated (and tax free) offshoring of labor
-loss of credibility
consequences:
-massive unemployment and underemployment
-mass scale insolvancy
-international ripercussions
-giant drop of internal and external demand
remedy:
-monetary policy, "throttle the slide"
-elimination of non-profit exemptions
-universal social security and medical system managed by the military
-shift on tax incentives (longer terms of admortization credits, introduction of "tax and social security credits, for employers")
-shift from "service profits" and "financial speculation profits" to "commodities profits" giving tax credits and grants for production of commodities
-depenalization of stupid crimes to monetary fines, concentrate on reducing the worse ratio of murders in the western world
-privatization of public services, except justice and defense, dismantle the public cows, at state and federal level
five years term goal:
-100 millions of new jobs, note I said "jobs", not "ronald mc donald jobs", a country on minimum wage is not going to save the fall
-100 millions of new immigrants
worst case scenario:
-apparently the ratio of real dollars versus "dollars on paper" is 1 to 30, so you "qualified" guys do the math, see what happens when your velocity of circulation trends to zero


My old professor of Economics used to say: "you shave the sheep, you don't kill the sheep", I don't know, you "qualified" guys maybe can express your educated opinion on this matter.

Oh, I forgot the christians, sorry guys and gals, you run this country, so you may as well take your responsibilities, keep praying and preying, we have seen where it leads, pray Saint Torquemada, maybe he understands you and gives you a miracle.

L'Ame du Vin - L' anima del vino - The soul of wine (Charles Baudelaire, Fleurs du mal)

Un soir, l'âme du vin chantait dans les bouteilles:

«Homme, vers toi je pousse, ô cher déshérité,

Sous ma prison de verre et mes cires vermeilles,

Un chant plein de lumière et de fraternité!



Je sais combien il faut, sur la colline en flamme,

De peine, de sueur et de soleil cuisant

Pour engendrer ma vie et pour me donner l'âme;

Mais je ne serai point ingrat ni malfaisant,



Car j'éprouve une joie immense quand je tombe

Dans le gosier d'un homme usé par ses travaux,

Et sa chaude poitrine est une douce tombe

Où je me plais bien mieux que dans mes froids caveaux.



Entends-tu retentir les refrains des dimanches

Et l'espoir qui gazouille en mon sein palpitant?

Les coudes sur la table et retroussant tes manches,

Tu me glorifieras et tu seras content;



J'allumerai les yeux de ta femme ravie;

À ton fils je rendrai sa force et ses couleurs

Et serai pour ce frêle athlète de la vie

L'huile qui raffermit les muscles des lutteurs.



En toi je tomberai, végétale ambroisie,

Grain précieux jeté par l'éternel Semeur,

Pour que de notre amour naisse la poésie

Qui jaillira vers Dieu comme une rare fleur!»



(Charles Baudelaire, Fleurs du mal)



Una sera l'anima del vino cantava nelle bottiglie:

"Uomo, verso di te mi spingo, o caro diseredato,

sotto la mia prigione di vetro ed i miei sigilli rossastri,

un canto pieno, di luce e fratellanza!



Io so cosa ci vuole, sulle colline infiammate

di pena, di sudore e di sole cocente

per infondere la mia vita, e darmi un'anima

Ma io non saro' ingrato e malfattore



Perche' io provo una gioia immensa quando cado

nella gola di un uomo consumato dal suo lavoro:

il suo petto caldo per me è una tomba dolce

e mi piace molto piu' che nelle mie cantine fredde



Vuoi sentir risuonare i ritornelli delle domeniche

e la speranza che bisbiglia nel mio seno palpitante?

I gomiti sul tavolo, e rimboccandoti le maniche,

tu mi glorificherai, e tu sarai contento.



Io illuminero' gli occhi della tua donna affascinata;

Ai tuoi figli io ridaro' la sua forza e i suoi colori.

E sarò per questo fragile atleta della vita,

l'unguento che rafforza i muscoli dei lottatori.



In te cadro', ambrosia vegetale,

grano prezioso, gettato dal Seminatore eterno,

Perché dal nostro amore nacque la poesia

che germogliera' su verso Dio come un raro fiore."



(da Charles Baudelaire, Fleurs du mal, traduzione di db 2007)



One night the soul of wine was singing in the bottles:

"Man, I push myself towards you, my dear disinherited,

under my glass prison and my reddish seals,

a song full of light and of brotherhood!



I know what it takes, on the flame-hot hill,

of pain, of sweat, and of burning sun,

to generate my life, and give me a soul;

But I won't be ingrate nor wicked,



Because I feel a great joy when i fall

in the throat of a man worn by his work,

and his warm breast is a sweet grave,

Where I feel much better, then in my cold cellars.



Do you want to hear again the sounds of sundays,

and the whispering of hope in the hartbeat of your breast?

The knees on the table, rolling up your sleeves,

you will glorify me, and you will be happy;



I will make bright the eyes of your fascinated woman,

I'll give back your kids, her force and her colors,

And I'll become for this fragile life athlet,

the rubbing oil that makes firm the muscles of the wrestlers



In you I will fall, vegetal ambrosia,

Precious weat, thrown by the eternal Seeder,

Because from our love, was born the poetry,

that will bloom up towards God as a rare flower.



(from Charles Baudelaire, Fleurs du mal, translation by db 2007)

... su cosa si basa la crisi americana ...

1)In sintesi, questi sono i punti chiave, che se imitati, produrranno in Europa gli stessi effetti.
2)Questa e' solo la punta dell' iceberg, l'iceberg potrebbe essere una crisi su scala mondiale simile al 29 in america.
3)Personalmente, analizzando la situazione sotto un angolo liberista, penso che le sole soluzioni per salvare capra e cavoli, siano nella politica monetaria e nella ri-definizione degli "standards" dei tracciati dei consumi, della responsabilita' finanziaria e della politica del lavoro.
4)Il modello economico americano e' destinato a degenerare sul modello argentino, con la differenza che a Washington e' difficile reperire qualcuno con il cervello di Peron e con l'oro necessario, per risolvere la situazione. L'unica cosa che saranno capaci di replicare dell' Argentina, e' il "dopo Peron", probabilmente, il mercato "liberalizzato" di organi umani in america, puo' usare con profitto i "desparecidos", e l'inflazione galoppante sincronizzata con gli orari di wall street diventera' la regola.

Cosa ha portato alla situazione dei nostri giorni (cioe' ad una economia di cartapesta):
-"standards" troppo elevati, l'america non si puo' piu' permettere lo stile di vita degli anni 60, ma i politici ed i media continuano a mentire spudoratamente. Il risultato e' che qui' e' quasi impossibile frazionare le proprieta', quasi impossibile comprare un monolocale, lo "standard" della propaganda politica e' la villa, facile da comprare quando le cose vanno bene, ma impossibile da vendere quando le cose vanno male. Quando una volta ho fatto notare ad un meccanico aborigeno questo concetto, la risposta che ho ottenuto e', praticamente, che poiche' loro sono "americani", loro hanno degli "standards" che "gli altri", noi poveri incivili in europa ed in giappone, non abbiamo, ovviamente.
-prezzi "gonfiati" delle proprieta' immobiliari, tipo di costruzione in linea con tutta la logica di produzione demenziale inventata dagli "esperti" locali, cioe' costo minimo alla produzione per ottenere profitto massimo alla vendita. Il risultato e' che il costo durante la vita di un immobile in america per minuto mantenimento, e' altissimo (che cosa ci si aspetta quando si costruiscono case di cartapesta e compensato). Ovviamente i concessionari e gli idraulici locali, se mai faccio loro notare questo particolare, mi rispondono che loro hanno degli "standards" che "gli altri", noi poveri incivili in europa ed in giappone, non abbiamo o non siamo in grado di capire, ovviamente.
-"deregolamentazione" dell' usura, ove in alcuni casi, le "penalita'" sui pagamenti sono il settecento per cento della rata, o, al minimo, il cinquanta per cento della rata, e ove le penalita' vanno a sommarsi ad un tasso di "interesse" del trenta o oltre per cento.
-"deregolamentazione" del mercato del lavoro, da intendersi, notate bene, non come "mobilita" ma come licenziamento su due piedi, senza dover fornire alcuna "causa" (si chiama "employment at will"), ha ri-creato "monarchie assolute" sui posti di lavoro. Un tempo si parlava di "fair labor practice" ma direi che oggi il concetto e' rimasto solamente nel vocabolario. La realta' dei fatti e' che il lavoratore medio americano, e' oggi giudicato sulla base della "conformita'" a chi lo dirige, e come gli scandali della "corporate america" hanno provato nei fatti, quando si da' questo tipo di potere a criminali, si vede dove si va a finire.
-scomparsa dei sindacati, i sindacalisti americani dei nostri giorni, curano solo gli interessi loro, il sindacato e' divenuto per davvero un "syndacate", dove gli unici interessi protetti sono quelli lobbystici di una dirigenza, che non avendo piu' potere di negoziare nulla, cerca almeno di salvare il potere dei benefici personali.
-discriminazione degli anziani e dei disabili nelle offerte di impiego, quanto piu' subdola, basata su "requisiti " non necessari, ma incorporati in pressoche' qualunque offerta, talvolta comici, per non dire tragici, quali "capacita' di sollevare 30 chili", capacita' di piegarsi, torcersi, camminare a quattro zampe sotto i tavoli, e cosi' via.
-fanaticismo, tanto fanaticismo, l'establishment americano ha creato ne' piu' e ne meno quello spirito che fece alcuni dei perseguitati religiosi scappare in america, la vittima, se mai lo fosse stata, si e' trasformata nel carnefice, le lobby di potere in america sono nelle chiese cristiane protestanti, che aspettano da tutti sottomissione, in un clima da caccia alle streghe.
-alto costo di vita, con i piu' alti tassi di omicidi e di stupri nel mondo occidentale, qui' fa' una grande differenza dove si vive, anche in termini monetari, e questo spiega perche' molto spesso la gente sceglie di indebitarsi piu' del dovuto, qui' a volte e' un problema di "sopravvivenza" nel "far west" moderno, dove le "gangs" hanno sostituito i banditi della frontiera.

La conclusione e' semplice. Se la gente non ha soldi non spende. Se non spende, l'economia della "grandeur" americana chiude bottega. Le banche americane hanno davanti la interessante prospettiva di "riconvertire" in concessionarie di automobili ed agenzie immobiliari, se troveranno dipendenti che vogliono lavorare in cambio di auto e alloggio.

Il modello economico Keynesiano e' stato distorto in modo tale, che i benefici monetari e fiscali per supportare l'economia, non supportano piu' nulla, perche' non raggiungono piu' i consumatori, si fermano negli stipendi pubblici dove i portalettere guadagnano otto mila dollari al mese, nelle grandi gare di appalto, dove "subcontractors" figli dell' oca bianca, pagano sette dollari all' ora la povera gente per lavoro di "vigilantes", e fatturano lo stato per cento dollari all'ora e nel business della riabilitazione sociale, dove le organizzazioni (tutte strettamente religiose) mungono la vacca del governo locale, per indottrinare poveri disgraziati, che necessiterebero di cure mediche e psichiatriche invece che di prediche filosofico morali.

Poi si sorprendono di essere in "stagflation", cosa ne pensate, fanno finta perche' gli fa comodo, o sono imbecilli per davvero, o tutti e due i casi, oppure, piu' semplicemente, sanno che la nave sta affondando, e stanno rubando il piu' possibile per quando succedera ?.

Come finira' ? Non ho una sfera di cristallo per prevederlo, ma se devo dare una opinione basata sull' istinto, direi male,male, o anzi anzi male,male,male.
