… On the day of his death, we should look past the accounts of his life, the real and the imagined legend, and focus instead on those for whom the myth was created, and for whom the truth had, at all costs, to be kept. Read the rest of this entry »

Zwei Monate nach dem Tod von Muammar al-Gaddafi hat der UNO-Sicherheitsrat die Sanktionen gegen die libysche Zentralbank und die Auslandsbank aufgehoben. Damit steht der Weg für die Freigabe von Dutzenden Milliarden Dollar an die neue libysche Führung offen. Read the rest of this entry »
Banks receive some people’s savings and pay them a very small interest. Then banks lend this money to clients and ask some more interest. Till here I understand, as the banks have to pay employees (the amount is another question). But the bank also lends only 10% (or less) of the savers money, the rest, 90% or more will be virtual money - means created out of nothing, means: THE BANK DOES NOT POSSESS THIS 90%.
THUS, WHY THE HELL DO WE PAY THEM INTERESTS FOR THIS 90% ? Read the rest of this entry »

Slavoj Žižek is pleased to note that behind the worldwide protests, from Tahrir Square to Occupy Wall Street, there’s a common impulse. It is not just about single-issue protest, it’s also not a simple demand for democracy. No, it’s anti-capitalism. Read the rest of this entry »

… Mais, la position de la France si innovante qu’elle soit, ne doit pas faire oublier les sévices faits aux femmes dans les autres pays occidentaux, voire dans le reste du monde. D’ailleurs, d’après le rapport du Fonds des Nations Unies pour la population (FNUAP) de 2010, au moins une femme sur trois dans le monde a été maltraitée, battue ou contrainte à des rapports sexuels dans sa vie… Deux millions de filles âgées de 5 à 15 ans se retrouvent sur le marché du sexe chaque année.

about the 99%’s desire to imitate the 1%, see my comment at the end – Linked on our blogs with Michael Albert, USA. – Published on ZNet, by Michael Albert, November 21, 2011.
One of the most celebrated features of the recent occupation movements has been the slogan, “We are the 99%.” Participants effusively love the slogan, but I have mixed feelings. Occupation critics bemoan absent demands. I say, patience. Occupation critics question ubiquitous moralism. I say, would you prefer being immoral, amoral, or moral? Read the rest of this entry »

The right questions should be:
1) are we able to make a consciously managed systemic change (crash)?
2) or shall we need the experience that no more any manipulation will save the joke?

… But most of the 7 billion are not endangering the earth. The majority of the world’s people don’t destroy forests, don’t wipe out endangered species, don’t pollute rivers and oceans, and emit essentially no greenhouse gases.
Even in the rich countries of the Global North, most environmental destruction is caused not by individuals or households, but by mines, factories and power plants run by corporations that care more about profit than about humanity’s survival. Read the rest of this entry »

Published on Rael.org, March 3, 2011: This planet is sick, with countries treating each other badly and governments treating people badly, and it’s that way everywhere … revolt is happening everywhere. People are fed up with their governments, so they’re making revolutions …
my comment: yes, this text is from March 2011, but it means what I think since a moment: we need to become able to shut down all these authorities making us only weak (as others act in our place), stop hierarchies making us stupid (as others think in our place), and corrupt (as we have to excuse and defend constraints weself not agree). And later, when this humanity will realy be grown up, we even no more need someone telling us all this stuff …
Die Idee zu dieser Aussage trottet seit längerer Zeit in meinem Kopf herum. Wenn ich den Satz in Google search eingebe, zeigen sich folgende Websites, welche ihn in einem Stück produzieren: Sirius Network /Geheime Technik, Black Projects; Iarga-Kontakt 1969; Alien Treatys, Begegnungen Mit Ausserirdischen, 63 S.
Mein Kommentar dazu: das Interessante an diesem Resultat ist, dass scheinbar NUR Leute, welche sich mit UFO und co. befassen, überhaupt fähig sind, diesen Satz zu konzipieren. DAS ist für mich die wichtigste Aussage!

… Manufacturing Dissent:
At the same time, “manufactured dissent” is intent upon promoting political and social divisions (e.g. within and between political parties and social movements). In turn, it encourages the creation of factions within each and every organization. Read the rest of this entry »

Wieder einmal grosse Aufregung über Hooligans. Jeder sagt, jetzt muss etwas passieren … aber unsere Gesellschaft ist nicht einmal fähig, am TV die Gesichter der gefilmten Kerle offen zu zeigen. Immer noch werden, wie fast immer in der Schweiz, die Täter besser geschützt als die Opfer. Gerade jetzt, in dem Moment sagt ein Verantwortlicher des Fussballs am Schweizer TV /der Rundschau, man werde Gewalt wohl nie aus dem Fussball verbannen können. Ich frage jetzt: was soll dieser Bullshit?
Ich schlage vor, dass wir das Volk diese Leute jetzt filmen, fotografieren und deren Gesichter ins Internet stellen.
Wenn Ihr Verantwortlichen immer nur redet und streitet, statt handelt, müssen wir halt selber tätig werden. Denn auch wir als Volk sind verantwortlich und können nicht immer nur reklamieren. Heidi.

It pours and pours. There has been no let-up in the torrents across the Badin district – a land that receives less than 60 mm of rain in a year has now seen over 300 mm in just of 48 hours. But it was a crisis already in the making because of record rains in the country’s southern province of Sind which received an incredible 1,000 mm of rain in less than three weeks and the deluge still continues pounding several districts in the area.

Solange wir nicht bereit sind, bei solchen Gewaltakten KOLLEKTIV alle Beteiligten zur Verantwortung zu ziehen, und die ganze Meute einzuräuchern, abzuriegeln und zu verhaften, wird sich die Polizei, und damit der Staat bei diesen Raudis nur als Weicheier auten. Jeder, der in dem Haufen mitläuft hat die gleiche Verantwortung und weiss genau, bei was er da mitmacht. Read the rest of this entry »

This blogs seems wasted, just a few entries per month. First dedicated to my personal life, it shows that not much has to be told about me beside my eternal fascination for divings, fishes and corals. But I have a personal interest: politics … this sandbox and all its actors playing above our heads, with consequences for our daily life. So why not have a better look at what is happening? So, what about …
