JO TAMBÉ ESTAVA AL PARLAMENT... I HO TORNARIA A FER
El dia 31 de març comença el judici contra les 20 persones imputades per l’intent de bloqueig del Parlament del 15 de Juny del 2011. Aquell dia s'anaven a iniciar el tràmits per aprovar els pressupostos amb el primer paquet de retallades a Catalunya, que va propiciar el tancament d'empreses públiques, la privatització de la sanitat, les retallades al sector de la cultura, educació, etc.
La mobilització “Aturem el Parlament” va succeir dues setmanes després del brutal desallotjament de la Plaça Catalunya a mans dels antidisturbis dels Mossos d'Esquadra a les ordres del que era conseller d'Interior i ara ho és d'Empresa i Ocupació, Felip Puig. També responsable del dispositiu policial que va disparar contra l'ull d'Esther Quintana.
La criminalització per part de la premsa subvencionada pel Govern i l'escalada repressiva que va venir després (judicis contra persones que volien impedir un desnonament al Clot, nombroses detencions a les vagues generals, multes absurdes per les persones que es manifestaven o per enganxar cartells, etc), va ser i és encara, una resposta planejada per procurar frenar l'augment de la indignació i de la força de les protestes populars contra el poder polític, econòmic i altres injustícies quotidianes, com el patriarcat i el racisme.
Durant aquells dies, la gent es va organitzar arreu per construir política des del carrer, com moltes seguim fent. La política que volem és assembleària, horitzontal, autogestionada, sense representants, és del poble i per al poble, i xoca amb la política institucional que ens governa. La qual ha estat protagonista d'un espiral de corrupció i de tenir llaços, sovint familiars o personals, amb grans empreses privades que reben encàrrecs d'obres públiques i amb els peixos grossos del poder financer.
Aquell dia érem milers de persones les que vam anar a intentar aturar el Parlament, per combatre el drama de tantes vides immerses en la misèria, els acomiadaments per les retallades, els suïcidis pels desnonaments, etc. Perquè moltes d'aquestes barbàries s'aproven dins dels murs d'aquest edifici. Per aquest motiu estàvem assenyalant els culpables el 15 de Juny de 2011 i per això mateix, ho tornaríem a fer sense por, perquè legitimem la nostra actuació, i perquè si la gent del carrer, a qui ens afecta tot això, no lluitem, ningú altre ho farà per nosaltres.
Sabem i tenim clar que aquest és un judici polític, una farsa per atemorir a aquelles que decideixen plantar cara i actuar contra els responsables de tanta precarietat. De fet, ens reafirmem al comprovar que l'acció directa contra els poderosos i generar alternatives de vida els molesta, i molt. Per això, i perquè som conscients del poder que podem tenir quan ens organitzem, no ens volem doblegar davant les seves intimidacions i fem una crida a estendre la solidaritat a aquells i aquelles que pateixen la repressió i la violència quotidiana d'aquest sistema econòmic, en les seves infinitats de formes.
Convoquem manifestació el dia 29 de març a Barcelona a les 18:30 a Plaça Catalunya.
SOLIDARITAT AMB TOTES LES REPRESALIADES I AMB AQUELLES QUE LLUITEN!!
La propera vegada que agafin un helicòpter, que sigui per marxar ben lluny i no tornar a molestar!

I was at the Catalan Parliament too…
and I would do it again
On March 31st the court case against the 20 people who are charged with an attempt to block the Catalan Paliament on June 15th 2012 will begin. That day in June, the process of implementing the first round of budget cuts in Catalonia began. Cuts that involved closing public companies, the privatization of health care,as well as cuts in the area of culture, education, etc.
The mobilization “Aturem el Parlament” (“Paralize the Parliament”), took place two weeks after the brutal eviction of Plaza Catalunya (Barcelona), by the riot police Mossos d´Esquadra under the command of Felip Puig. He was the minister of the Interior at that time and is currently the minister of companies and labour. He was also responsible for the police operation that shot Esther Quintana in the eye.
The criminalization by the media (that is funded by the state) and the increase of repression which followed (court cases against people trying to prevent an eviction in the neighbourhood of el Clot, many detentions during the general strikes, absurd fees for people protesting or hanging banners with tape etc), was, and still is, a planned response to try to stop the rise of outrage and the strength of popular demostrations against economic and political power, and other daily injustices (such as patriarchy and racism).
During those days, people organized themselves all over to build and create politics from the streets, as many of us continue to do. The politics we want are based in assemblies, horizontal, self-organized, without leaders; they belong to the people and they are for the people, and clash with the institutional politics which govern us. The same institutional politics and their protagonists are creating a corruption spiral and have relationships, mostly family-based, with private companies (that receive contracts for public constructions) and with high-up people with economic power.
That day we were thousands of people trying to paralyze the Catalan Parliament in order to fight the drama of so many lives embedded in misery, the layoffs due to the cuts, the suicides due to evictions, etc. Because many of these atrocities are approved behind the walls of that building. This is the reason that we were pointing out the guilty ones that 25 of June 2012, and because of this, we would to it again without fear. Because we legitimize our action, and because if we, the people from the street -whom are the most affected-, don´t fight, nobody will do it for us.
We know that this is a political court case, a farce to scare those who decide to stand up and take action against thoseresponsibleforall this precariousness. In fact, we reaffirm our ideals and actions after proving that direct action and the creation of alternatives of life bothers them, a lot. Because of this, and because we are aware of the power we can have when we are organized, we don´t want to bow down to their intimidation. We call for a spread of solidarity for all the ones who suffer daily repression and violence within this economic system, in its infinite shapes.
SOLIDARITY WITH ALL THE REPRESSED AND THOSE WHO FIGHT!!
The next time that they take an helicopter, it should be to go far away, and not come back to bother us.

Repression in Spain. A call for international solidarity
During the last three years Spanish society has witnessed a period of intense social protests against austerity, corruption, unemployment and so on. As in other times in history, the greater and more radicalised the protest the bigger the repression that the state organises against it. Since the general strike in September 2010, a common trend of this repression strategy is been a kind of ‘laissez faire’ in the streets but followed by ´selective´ detentions months later. Police have been literally knocking doors down of those who continuously take part in different actions and demonstrations, and consequently dozens of people have been arrested.
On June the 15th 2011, ten thousand people surrounded the Catalan parliament in Barcelona. That day the government wanted to approve a vast austerity cut in health and education, and the idea was to block politicians from getting into the building. “Inexplicably” the police did not protect some politicians, which caused direct confrontation with protesters, and of course that fact was used by the media as an example of violence against democracy. After that, people were violently dispersed, and the MPs could do their job.
On October the 4th 2011, 22 people were arrested in their homes. They have been accused of a crime against the state, using a law designed for coup leaders and that had never been used before in Spain. They now face a penalty of up to 8 years in jail, whereas some of them have been also accused of different crimes related to other demonstrations. The trial will start in March the 31st 2014 and it is expected to last four days.
There will be a national day of solidarity in Spain on March the 29th with demonstrations in several cities. So we also call for international solidarity.
You can call, email or block different Spanish embassies or institutions. Or you can do whatever you consider appropriate…
“That day we tried to block the Catalan parliament to combat the drama of many lives immersed in poverty, layoffs by cuts, suicides by evictions, etc. Because many of these atrocities are approved behind the walls of that building. We were pointing at the guilty, and because of that we would do it again without fear. We know this is a political trial, a farce to scare those who choose to stand up and take action against those responsible for such precarious living conditions. In fact, we reaffirm it to find that both direct action against the powerful and generate alternative lives bothers them a lot. For this reason, and because we understand the power that we can have as we organise ourselves, we do not want to bow to their intimidation and we make a call to extend solidarity to those suffering the daily repression and violence of this economic system, in its myriad forms”.

The Postcard
A carte postale that was published by Lévy et Neurdein Réunis of 44, Rue Letellier, Paris. The card was posted in Dinard (Ille-et-Vilaine) on Saturday the 8th. September 1923.
The card was posted to:
Miss Harper,
Haye Road,
Callington,
Cornwall.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Hotel Crystal,
Dinard.
This is where we
landed - a most
interesting old town
with a rampart all
round.
We are having lovely
hot weather. Miss
Ford is well.
J. S. Ford."
Saint-Malo
Saint-Malo is a historic walled port city and commune in Brittany on the English Channel coastline of northwestern France.
Saint-Malo in World War II
In World War II, during fighting in late August and early September 1944, the historic walled city of Saint-Malo was almost totally destroyed by American shelling and bombing as well as British naval gunfire.
The Allies believed that the Axis powers had thousands of troops and major armaments built up within the city walls – though there proved to be fewer than 100 troops manning just two anti-aircraft installations, with the much larger and heavily armed Axis presence in strongpoints outside the city walls.
The Americans used napalm for the first time.
Saint-Malo was rebuilt over a 12-year period from 1948 to 1960.
Hyperinflation in Germany
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 8th. September 1923, a parade of housewives marched through Berlin carrying empty baskets in protest of their inability to buy food due to hyperinflation.
The Honda Point Disaster
Also on that day, the Honda Point Disaster off California sank seven destroyers and killed 23 sailors in the worst peacetime accident in U.S. Navy history.
On the evening of the 8th. September 1923, seven destroyers, while traveling at 20 knots (37 km/h), ran aground at Honda Point, a few miles from the northern side of the Santa Barbara Channel off Point Arguello on the Gaviota Coast. Two other ships grounded, but were able to maneuver free off the rocks. Twenty-three sailors died in the disaster.
The area of Honda Point is extremely treacherous for central California mariners, as it features a series of rocky outcroppings, collectively known as Woodbury Rocks (one of which is today named Destroyer Rock on navigational charts).
Called the Devil's Jaw, the area has been a navigational hazard since the Spanish explorers first came in the 16th. century. It is just north of the entrance to the Santa Barbara Channel, which was the intended route of the destroyers involved in the disaster.
Honda Point is located on the seacoast at Vandenberg Space Force Base, near the city of Lompoc, California. There is a plaque and a memorial to the disaster at the site. The memorial includes a ship's bell from Chauncey. A propeller and a propeller shaft from Delphy is on display outside the Veterans' Memorial Building, in Lompoc, California.
The Disaster
The fourteen ships of Destroyer Squadron Eleven were steaming south in column from San Francisco Bay to San Diego Bay. All were less than five years old.
The ships turned east, supposedly heading into the Santa Barbara Channel, at 21:00. The ships were navigating by dead reckoning, estimating positions from their course and speed, as measured by propeller revolutions per minute. At that time radio navigation aids were new, and not completely trusted.
USS Delphy was equipped with a radio navigation receiver, but her captain, Lieutenant Commander Donald T. Hunter, who was also acting as the squadron's navigator, ignored its indicated bearings, believing them to be erroneous.
No effort was made to take soundings of water depths using a fathometer, as this would require the ships to slow down to take the measurements.
The ships were performing an exercise that simulated wartime conditions, and Captain Watson also wanted the squadron to make a fast passage to San Diego, so the decision was made not to slow down.
Despite the heavy fog, Commodore Watson ordered all ships to travel in close formation and, turning too soon, went aground. Six others followed and sank. Two ships whose captains disobeyed the close-formation order survived, although they also hit the rocks.
Earlier the same day, the mail steamship SS Cuba ran aground nearby. Some attributed these incidents in the Santa Barbara Channel to unusual currents caused by the great Tokyo earthquake of the previous week.
The lost ships were:
-- USS Delphy, the flagship in the column. She ran aground on the shore at 20 knots (37 km/h). After running aground, she sounded her siren. The siren alerted some of the later ships in the column, helping them avoid the tragedy. Three of her crew died.
-- USS S. P. Lee was following a few hundred yards behind. She saw the Delphy suddenly stop, and turned to port (left) in response. As a result, she ran aground on the coast.
-- USS Young made no move to turn. She tore her hull open on submerged rocks, and the inrush of water capsized her onto her starboard side. Twenty men died.
-- USS Woodbury turned to starboard, but struck an offshore rock.
-- USS Nicholas turned to port and also hit a rock.
-- USS Fuller stuck next to Woodbury.
-- USS Chauncey ran aground while attempting to rescue sailors from the capsized Young.
Light damage was recorded by:
-- USS Farragut ran aground, but was able to extricate herself and was not lost.
-- USS Somers was lightly damaged.
Rescue Efforts
Local ranchers, who were alerted by the commotion of the disaster, rigged up breeches buoys from the surrounding clifftops and lowered them down to the ships that had run aground. Fishermen nearby who had seen the tragedy picked up members of the crew from USS Fuller and USS Woodbury.
The surviving members of the crew of the capsized Young were able to climb to safety on the nearby USS Chauncey via a lifeline.
The five destroyers in Destroyer Squadron Eleven that had avoided running aground at Honda Point were also able to help by picking up sailors who had been thrown into the water and by assisting those who were stuck aboard the wreckage of other ships.
Disposal of the Wrecks
After the disaster the US government did not attempt to salvage any of the wrecks at Honda Point due to the nature of the damage each ship had sustained. The wrecks themselves, along with the equipment that remained on them, were sold to a scrap merchant for a total of $1,035.
The wrecked ships had still not been moved by late August 1929, since they may be clearly seen in film footage taken from the German airship Graf Zeppelin as she headed towards Los Angeles on her circumnavigation of the globe; the film footage is used in the documentary film Farewell (2009).
Court Martial
The seven-officer Navy court-martial board, presided over by Vice Admiral Henry A. Wiley, ruled that the disaster was the fault of the fleet commander and the flagship's navigators.
They assigned blame to the captain of each ship that ran aground, following the tradition that a captain's first responsibility is to his own ship, even when in formation.
The eleven officers involved were charged with negligence and culpable inefficiency to perform one's duty. This was the largest single group of officers ever court-martialed in the U.S. Navy's history.
The court martial ruled that the events of the Honda Point Disaster were directly attributable to bad errors and faulty navigation by Captain Watson. Watson was stripped of his seniority, and three other officers were admonished.
Those officers who were court-martialed were all acquitted.
Captain Watson was commended by his peers and the government for assuming full responsibility for the disaster at Honda Point. He could have tried to blame a variety of factors for the disaster, but instead, he set an example for those others by accepting the responsibility entirely on his shoulders.
A Court of Inquiry recommended Cmdr. Roper for a Letter of Commendation for turning his division away from danger.
Navigational Errors
The fourteen ships of Destroyer Squadron Eleven were to follow the flagship USS Delphy in column formation from San Francisco Bay, through the Santa Barbara Channel, and finally to San Diego.
Destroyer Squadron Eleven was on a twenty-four-hour exercise from northern California to southern California. The flagship was responsible for navigation. As the Delphy steamed along the coastline, poor visibility meant the navigators had to go by the age-old technique of dead reckoning.
They had to estimate their position based on their speed and heading. The captain of the Delphy was also acting as the squadron's navigator, overriding his ship's navigator, Lieutenant Lawrence Blodgett.
The Delphy did have radio direction finding (RDF) equipment, which picked up signals from a station at Point Arguello, but RDF was new and the bearings obtained were dismissed by Hunter as unreliable.
Based solely on dead reckoning, Captain Watson ordered the fleet to turn east into the Santa Barbara Channel. However, the Delphy was actually several miles northeast of where they thought they were, and the error caused the ships to run aground on Honda Point.
The Kennedy intercepted radio bearings to the Delphy and to the Stoddert, and accurately determined the fleet's position. When the Kennedy reached the turning point, Commander Walter G. Roper, in charge of Division 32 (Kennedy, Paul Hamilton, Stoddert, and Thompson) at the rear of the column, ordered his ships to slow down and then to stop, and avoided running aground.
Ocean Conditions
At his court martial, Lt. Cdr. Hunter, the navigator of the Delphy, testified:
"I think there is also a possibility that abnormal
currents caused by the Japanese earthquake
might have been another contributory cause, or
magnetic disturbances connected with the solar
eclipse affected the compass – but of these I
cannot, of course, speak with any first hand
knowledge."
On the 1st. September 1923, seven days before the disaster, the Great Kantō earthquake had occurred in Japan. Unusually large swells and strong currents arose off the coast of California and remained for a number of days. Before Destroyer Squadron Eleven even reached Honda Point, a number of ships had encountered navigational problems as a result of unusual currents.
As the ships began their exercise run down the California coast, they made their way through these swells and currents. While the squadron was traveling through these swells and currents, their estimations of speed and bearing used for dead reckoning were being affected.
The navigators on board the lead ship Delphy did not take into account the effects of the strong currents and large swells in their estimations. Consequently, the entire squadron was off course and positioned near the treacherous coastline of Honda Point instead of the open ocean of the Santa Barbara Channel.
Coupled with darkness and thick fog, the swells and currents attributed to the earthquake in Japan made accurate navigation by dead reckoning nearly impossible for the Delphy. The geography of Honda Point, which is completely exposed to wind and waves, created a deadly environment once the unusually strong swells and currents were added to the coastline.
Once the error in navigation occurred, the weather conditions and ocean conditions sealed the fate of the squadron. The weather surrounding Honda Point at the time of the disaster was windy and foggy while the geography of the area created strong counter-currents and swells that forced the ships into the rocks once they entered the area.

Eye in the Sky - Philip K. Dick - reviewed 12-20-2009
I have read many of Dick's novels and can say with some confidence that this is not the one I would recommend to new readers. It contains narrative themes that I find engaging and challenging but also exhibits Dick's tendency to wander into muddled plot entanglements that could put you into a coma.
The story has our obsessed protagonist Jack Hamilton fired from a California defense research lab because of a suspicion that his wife is a Red. Soon after he is on a tour to witness the first test of a "Proton Beam Deflector" and, well, something goes dreadfully wrong - welcome to alternate universes and a creepy vision of God's eye.
1950's McCarthy-era paranoia is believable especially if you spouse is working in defense, but giving tours of an experimental radiation accelerator during first turn-on is just a characteristically implausible Dick plot contrivance.
The authors descriptions of the God encounters in this novel are hilarious and sometimes very, very weird. It is a theme explored in greater depth in several of his later works. As only Dick could tell us: "Nobert Wiener," Tillingford said. "You recall his works in cybernetics. And even more important, Enrico Destini's work in the field of theophonics." What's that Hamilton asked?" Tillingford raised an eyebrow...Communications between man and God, of course...Destini was able to set up the really adequate system of communication between earth and heaven in 1946." Later a brilliant passage has Hamilton praying to God for his $400 pay and bucket of change rains down upon him. Seems God pay off in coin not currency. This event occurs soon after Hamilton and a friend ascended to heaven on a holy umbrella only to find a gigantic eye.

El lunes 25 de noviembre es el Día Internacional contra la violencia machista y a lo largo y ancho del mundo se celebrarán masivas manifestaciones en respuesta a esta lacra. Como ya hemos hecho en multitud de ocasiones -desde el 8 de marzo, pasando por las movilizaciones masivas contra la justicia patriarcal que amparó a “la Manada” y, ahora a la “Manada de Manresa”- en el Estado español volveremos a exigir el fin de la violencia machista que año tras año nos explota, oprime, humilla y asesina.
No tenemos miedo, sí tenemos rabia
La fuerza arrolladora que ha demostrado el movimiento por los derechos de las mujeres trabajadoras y jóvenes es imparable y sigue siendo un ejemplo muy poderoso. Por eso no es ninguna casualidad que la derecha franquista -PP, Ciudadanos y Vox- ataque e intente desprestigiar la lucha que millones de mujeres, junto con nuestros compañeros, estamos protagonizando.
En el Estado español estas manifestaciones del 25 de noviembre se celebrarán tras las elecciones generales del pasado 10-N, cuyos resultados vuelven a poner encima de la mesa una cuestión fundamental: que la lucha de la clase trabajadora y la juventud en defensa de nuestros derechos y contra los y las culpables de nuestra opresión es nuestra mayor fuerza. Desde Libres y Combativas no minimizamos ni restamos importancia al avance electoral de la extrema derecha de Vox, pero sí queremos resaltar que el bloque reaccionario ha vuelto a fracasar en su objetivo de hacerse con el Gobierno y que la derecha tiene enormes dificultades para seguir ganando apoyos: pierden casi 900.000 votos respecto a las elecciones del 28A.
La derecha y la extrema derecha son una amenaza muy real para todos los derechos que hemos conquistado en base a la movilización y a la lucha en las calles. Por eso sabemos, que la única forma de derrotar la ofensiva que representan es precisamente levantando una izquierda combativa en las calles, que defienda un feminismo revolucionario y de combate, un ecologismo anticapitalista, el fin de los recortes en la educación y la sanidad, el fin de la precariedad y la explotación, que garantice un sistema de pensiones público y digno… todas las reivindicaciones que durante años hemos exigido en las calles.
Conseguir todas estas reivindicaciones no es ninguna utopía. El próximo gobierno de coalición entre el PSOE y Unidas Podemos ha sido recibido por amplios sectores de la juventud y la clase trabajadora como una oportunidad para ello. Eso supone confrontar con los grandes poderes económicos, con los bancos, con la Iglesia Católica y los planes de austeridad de la Unión Europea. No queremos palabras, queremos hechos. Ya tenemos la experiencia de los últimos meses de gobierno del PSOE, que a pesar de considerarse el "gobierno más feminista de la historia", seguía respetando, entre muchas otras cosas, la justicia franquista y patriarcal que deja en libertad a violadores y culpa a las víctimas. No echamos a Rajoy de la Moncloa ni hemos derrotado a la derecha en las urnas dos veces para que todo siga igual. ¡La lucha debe continuar!
Somos feministas y anticapitalistas
La batalla contra la violencia machista es la lucha contra el sistema capitalista que la genera. Es la lucha contra la cosificación y la mercantilización de nuestros cuerpos, contra la trata, los vientres de alquiler, la prostitución y la pornografía. Es la lucha por unos salarios justos y unos puestos de trabajo dignos. Por una educación sexual inclusiva en los centros educativos para educar en el respeto, la igualdad y la inclusión. Contra la LGTBIfobia y la moral podrida de la Iglesia Católica.
El próximo 25 de noviembre tomaremos las calles de nuevo por todo ello. Porque es en las calles donde venceremos a este sistema y construiremos una sociedad nueva donde nadie conozca la explotación, la injusticia ni la miseria.
¡Únete a Libres y Combativas!
¡El 25N todas y todos a las calles contra la violencia machista!
..................................................Monday, November 25 is International Day against sexist violence and massive demonstrations will be held throughout the world in response to this scourge. As we have done on many occasions - from March 8, through the massive mobilizations against patriarchal justice that protected “La Manada” and, now to “Manada de Manresa” - in the Spanish State we will demand the end of the macho violence that year after year exploits us, oppresses, humiliates and murders.
We are not afraid, we are angry
The overwhelming force demonstrated by the movement for the rights of working women and youth is unstoppable and remains a very powerful example. That is why it is no accident that the Francoist right -PP, Citizens and Vox- attack and try to discredit the struggle that millions of women, along with our partners, are leading.
In the Spanish State, these demonstrations on November 25 will be held after the general elections of the past 10-N, whose results once again put a fundamental issue on the table: that the struggle of the working class and youth in defense of our rights and against those guilty of our oppression is our greatest strength. From Free and Combative we do not minimize or downplay the electoral progress of the extreme right of Vox, but we do want to highlight that the reactionary bloc has failed again in its objective of seizing the Government and that the right has enormous difficulties to continue gaining support : they lose almost 900,000 votes regarding the 28A elections.
The right and the extreme right are a very real threat to all the rights we have won based on mobilization and street fighting. That is why we know that the only way to defeat the offensive they represent is precisely by raising a combative left in the streets, defending a revolutionary and combat feminism, an anti-capitalist ecology, the end of cuts in education and health, the end of precariousness and exploitation, which guarantees a public and dignified pension system ... all the demands we have demanded for years on the streets.
Getting all these claims is no utopia. The next coalition government between the PSOE and United We have been received by broad sectors of youth and the working class as an opportunity for this. That means confronting the great economic powers, the banks, the Catholic Church and the austerity plans of the European Union. We don't want words, we want facts. We already have the experience of the last months of the PSOE government, which despite being considered the "most feminist government in history", continued to respect, among many other things, the Franco and patriarchal justice that frees rapists and blames the victims. We do not throw Rajoy de la Moncloa nor have we defeated right at the polls twice so that everything remains the same. The fight must continue!
We are feminists and anti-capitalists
The battle against sexist violence is the fight against the capitalist system that generates it. It is the fight against the reification and commodification of our bodies, against trafficking, rent bellies, prostitution and pornography. It is the fight for fair wages and decent jobs. For an inclusive sexual education in educational centers to educate in respect, equality and inclusion. Against LGBTIphobia and the rotten morals of the Catholic Church.
On November 25 we will take the streets again for all this. Because it is in the streets where we will overcome this system and build a new society where no one knows exploitation, injustice or misery.
Join Free and Combative!
The 25N all and everyone on the streets against sexist violence!
Trust me, I really am going to be writing to you soon.

Inside the Union Carbide pesticide factory scene of the world's worst industrial disaster.
Interior shot of the factory before it was stripped of some of its most valuable components and subsequently abandoned to the elements.
The factory remains ruined and abandoned to this day and there are approximately 350 Metric tonnes of highly toxic waste stored above ground.
Of greater concern are the many thousands of tonnes of toxic waste that were buried, in an untreated state, on the site.
Rain water runs through his waste, along with the remains of the abandoned solar evaporation ponds, and leaches toxic chemicals in to the local ground water aquifer.
The toxic plume has now spread for miles from the factory and many thousands of impoverished people have been using it, for decades, as their primary water supply.
Ana, es tan corta la vida,
y son tantas despedidas
llenas de promesas vanas.
Ana, ¿qué será de nosotros
cuando caigamos y otros
ocupen nuestro lugar?
Ana, ¿dónde será la batalla
próxima en que perdamos
la guerra contra la soledad?
Ana, volverás a escuchar
las piedras que contra tu ventana
lanzó la felicidad.
Lanzó la felicidad.
Ana, es tan corta la vida,
quizás me vuelva mentira
y no te conozca mañana.
Ana, cuando te esconda un abrazo
recuerda entonces el año
en que forjamos la paz.
Ana, quizás me marche y no vuelva,
quizás me muera y no tengas
que maldecirme jamás.
Ana, te veo y me declaro culpable
de desear tu presencia
más que desear la paz.
Ana, ¿qué hago yo con mis canciones,
con el manojo de escarcha,
con mis ganas de matar?
Ana, ¿qué hago yo con las montañas
de papeles que he firmado
jurando morir o amar?
Jurando morir o amar.
Ana.
Para mi amiga,noo,AMIGA Ana,por lo que me das sin saberlo.
"I was alive'. The Breaking Bad Finale at Cadillac Lounge, Toronto © Linda Dawn Hammond / IndyFoto.com 2013
SPOILER ALERT
Like many others, I've been in the grip of a particular TV series for years now, and it all came to a head this past Sunday. Not wanting to face the finale of "Breaking Bad" alone, I headed to the Cadillac Lounge. As it happened, I ended up watching it on a small TV screen above the bar, as their "big screen" was peppered with dead pixels, much as if someone had sneezed cocaine over it. Almost fitting, had they been blue rather than white speckles. The place was dead quiet but we nevertheless strained to catch the dialogue. Anticipating the problem, I had asked the barman to put on my TV's subtitles.
It went down largely as I'd anticipated and hoped. I wanted Jesse to survive. Skyler and family as well. Walter was destined to die one way or another, and I was fine with it. I predict my son won't share this view as he was routing for Walter White, despised Jesse's "weakness' and like many viewers out there, wished all kinds of ill on Skyler the "bitch" wife, who inevitably saw through Walt's deceptions and demanded accountability. See "I Have a Character Issue"
By ANNA GUNN for her insights into a certain segment of the public's hatred of strong female characters. www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/opinion/i-have-a-character-iss...;
In the scene in this image, Marie's phoned Skyler to warn her that Walt's been sighted in the vicinity. From this, we can anticipate that the 2 sisters will eventually reconcile. As she hangs up and the camera pans, we realize he is already present in the room. Skyler greets the visit with skepticism and mixed emotions. Her family's safety has been threatened by drug dealers and DEA alike. She's endured so many lies and deception from Walt in the past, and been drawn in far too deeply. If Walt's skill and passion was chemistry, hers was accounting, which she took to with growing enthusiasm when he required her specific talent to "launder" the drug money. Walt had tried to deflect all culpability towards himself in a previous phone call (and episode) to Skyler. Made in full expectation that the DEA were listening in, he had established her as an unwitting, unwilling victim of his alter ego, the monstrous, murderous tyrant and drug lord, Heisenberg. Shady lawyer Saul had advised Walt to hand himself in rather than going on the lam, as he knew the DEA would continue to look towards Skyler if they couldn't get their hands on either him, the missing DEA members or the drug money. Walt however still has an agenda, and it doesn't include jail. Uncle Jack and the Aryan brotherhood had ignored Walt's pleas to spare Hank's life, even after Walt had revealed that the GPA coordinates to the site in the desert also led to his money, all of which he offered up in exchange. The neo-nazis nevertheless executed his brother in law and DEA partner, AND stole the bulk of his stashed drug money, leaving Walt one remaining barrel of cash and an uncomfortable handshake, in return for sparing his life and to establish complicity in the murders. He intended to get it back, "for the family" of course, as “Then and only then am I through.”
In that scene, Walt had then spotted Jesse cowering under the car following the DEA shoot-out and betrayed him to the Brotherhood, saying he was owed his death. Did he anticipate they would spare it and rather enslave him to produce blue meth? It seems unlikely. I wonder why he chose that moment to reveal to Jesse that he had been instrumental in the overdose death of his girlfriend, Jane. It was a blow intended to demoralize Jesse further, but for what purpose? Revenge for ratting to the DEA, or did he also personally blame him for the death of Hank, as Jesse (with the DEA) had lured Walt to his desert stash by suggesting he had found it and was in the process of burning his money. In a frantic fury, Walt had been tricked into leading the DEA to the location, and thinking it only Jesse, had in turn sent for the Nazis to come rescue him. By the time he realized it included Hank, he had lost the power to change the course.
Now, in pursuit of his ultimate agenda, Walt has come to make his final good-byes, offer more excuses and provide his wife with yet another "Get out of Jail" card. He gives her a lotto ticket with numbers that now reveal the GPS coordinates to the desert grave of Hank and Gomez rather than the site of his drug money stash, for her to use as an additional bargaining chip with the DEA. He tells her who was responsible for their deaths, not including himself.
She stops Walt before he can offer up one last excuse for his transgressions.
“If I have to hear one more time that you did this for the family...” but on this occasion he surprises her, and likely himself, with the truth. “I did it for ME... I liked it. I was GOOD at it. I was alive.”
And that moment of revelation and honesty breathes new life into Skylar's character. Actress Anna Gunn, describing the scene during a discussion following the finale, said, “She was waiting so long... and became such a shell of a person." This released her, like a long awaited sigh. She allowed him to say farewell to baby Holly, and he watches his now estranged son enter the house, but from a distance. He has lost the love of his family, and they no longer need him.
For Walt too, the admission allows him to free himself for the final scene, where all obsessions, aspirations, hatreds and perhaps the only love he has remaining, culminate as temperature and ingredients fuse in a final cook.

Even at this relatively early stage after the disaster extensive protest graffiti is seen on the perimeter wall of the abandoned factory along Union Carbide Rd.
On Sunday 4 March Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned in Salisbury with a military-grade nerve agent of a type developed by Russia.
Russia has provided no explanation as to how this agent came to be used in the UK, and there is no alternative conclusion other than that the Russian State was culpable for the attempted murder of Mr Skripal and his daughter. This represents an unlawful use of force by the Russian State against the United Kingdom.
Here are four key pieces of evidence that support that conclusion.
Poem by Mike Jenkins 2011
He writes, ‘It came about because last week my wife decided to avoid traffic queues and take the old road, so my young daughter had a clear view of the cemetery above Aberfan.’
THE WHITE ARCHES
‘What are they?’ she asks
(on the old route for once),
across a valley of river, road, rail trees,
markings of a canal and a mine
long gone, the tips cleared;
new school a boast of glass and wood
‘Those are the gravestones of the children.’
The white arches on the hillside,
clean, bright teeth in a row,
arms of ‘dansio gwerin’ linked;
but bones will not grow
and arms won’t catch hold.
Waste piled for years above the school
shifted in heavy rain, warnings
the Coal Board and Council ignored;
that boy with his painting of planes,
NCB on them, dropping black bombs:
stirrings of a premonition.
She’s at the front, so much going on,
listening to music, playing her games,
words of her ‘llefaru’, tune of ‘alaw werin’
competing on the stage of her brain.
Ones like her, chopsy mouths and wayward hair,
speech turned to sludge on their tongues.

The story of the Rajneesh Movement in Oregon involved the largest single incident of fraudulent marriages, the most massive scheme of wiretapping and bugging, and the largest mass poisoning in United States history. However the greatest luck of the entire incident-the fact that no one actually died-meant that it has largely been forgotten in American history, especially in comparison to far more fatal mass cult cases like Jonestown and Waco. Periodically media attention refocuses on the event, such as after the second (and to date last) biological attack in United States history, the 2001 Anthrax Attacks, or the 2018 release of the Netflix Documentary Wild Wild Country.
After deportation back to India, Rajneesh became a hero denouncing the United States. However authorities quickly tired of his antics and non-Indians in his party had their passports revoked. He moved to Crete, only to have his visa rejected by Greek authorities, and so on; moving to Switzerland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Uganda, Jamaica, and finally back to India. Rajneesh returned to his old haunts, but his health was clearly deteriorating; renaming himself "Osho", he claimed that he was poisoned by US authorities in prison; others have suggested chronic diabetes or even AIDS. He died of heart failure in 1990, though the movement (which still remains) claims that he had died because "living in the body had become a hell". He was never prosecuted for the attempted murders or biological attacks.
Sheela and Puja, who actually committed the biological attack and attempted murders, only served 29 months of their sentences before being released on good behavior. Sheela was then deported to Switzerland, where she married and is apparently running two nursing homes.
Rajneeshpuram reverted to the State after its abandonment; in 1987 the courts finally decided on the long-running court cases: the formation of the city by the cult had indeed violated the church/state division, while the incorporation of the city had not violated the state planning system's agricultural land goals. Neither court decision mattered, as the city was gone. Big Muddy is now Washington Family Ranch, ironically run by Christian Youth organization Young Life as a summer camp. One of my professors apparently worked there briefly.
The culpability of Rajneesh on the dark crimes of 1984 remains an open question to this day. His supporters claim that the guru was kept in the dark about Sheela's activities, who used Rajneesh's vow of silence and transfer of power of attorney against him and kept him a prisoner within his own cult. Detractors, including Sheela, claim that Rajneesh had control of his subordinate every step of the way, and was capable of violence-which was supported by his apocalyptic rhetoric. It probably will never be known for certain, though if he was a fool, I suppose he was a very very stupid one that failed both himself and his own supporters.
As for Antelope, Oregon, after returning to their original name the locals found out that the Post Office had never bothered to change it in the first place. It remains a quiet, sleepy town (I saw absolutely no one). The only memorial to the entire drama of the Rajneesh is this little plaque beneath the flagpole in front of the post office. It reads:
"Dedicated to those of this community who, through the Rajneesh invasion and occupation of 1981-85, remained, resisted, and remembered..." and "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing (Edmund Burke)".

Ariadne Awaits Dionysus
How I long for this divine androgyne
after all that muscle and bluster.
Give me skin smooth as a grape,
supple limbs, a torso like alabaster;
I’ll be his most devoted Maenad –
I’ll coax favours from him – master
of satyrs, with his stalk of fennel
adrip with honey; soft thruster
of a different kind of sword. I’m
ripe and ready. Come here, mister.
Poem by Giles Watson, 2013. After the warrior Theseus, the slayer of the Minotaur, abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos, she precipitately married the god of grapes, wine-making, ritual madness and ecstasy, Dionysus – and does not appear to have regretted her decision. The later iconographic tradition depicts Dionysus as an androgynous youth carrying a staff of fennel, but his female devotees were homicidal, ferocious and highly-sexed, and his male followers were virile satyrs. In some traditions, Theseus was not culpably forgetful, but was ordered by Dionysus to abandon Ariadne, and his memories of her were wiped clean as he sailed away from Naxos. The picture is a life-drawing, 1st February, 2013.
The Postcard
A postally unused briefkaart with an undivided back. The card was published by J. H. Schaefer of Amsterdam.
There are many postcards showing Dutch women and girls on this photostream, and they are almost invariably shown knitting.
Where boys are also present, they are usually shown wearing very baggy trousers and smoking a pipe, which would certainly not be allowed today.
Volendam
Volendam is a small town in North Holland in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Edam-Volendam. The town has about 22,000 inhabitants (November 2007), and is twinned with Coventry in the UK.
Originally, Volendam was the location of the harbour of the nearby Edam. However in 1357, the inhabitants of Edam dug a shorter canal to the Zuiderzee with its own separate harbour.
This removed the need for Volendam's original harbour, which was then dammed and used for land reclamation. Farmers and local fishermen settled there, forming the new community of Volendam, which literally meant 'Filled dam'.
In the early part of the 20th. century Volendam became an artists' retreat, with both Picasso and Renoir spending time there.
The majority of the population belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, which is deeply connected to the village culture. Historically, many missionaries and bishops grew up in Volendam. Today there is the chapel of Our Lady of the Water, which is located in a village park.
The Volendam Café Fire
The Volendam New Year's café fire occurred during the 2000–2001 New Year's night. The fire began early on New Year's Day 2001 and caused the death of 14 young people. 241 people were admitted to hospital, 200 of whom suffered serious burns.
The fire took place in a building that housed three bars. On New Year's Eve it was packed with more than 350 young people between 13 and 22 years of age when a short blaze happened in the café De Hemel ("Heaven") which was located on the top floor after a sparkler hit Christmas decorations that hung from the ceiling. The temperature in the room reached 400 °C (752 °F). Many of the partygoers were wearing highly flammable synthetic fabrics which clung to their flesh as they melted and burned.
There was great panic and the heat, lack of oxygen and people falling over each other made escaping extremely difficult. There also were bars in front of the windows and there were too few emergency exits, all of which contributed to the high number of injuries.
Survivors stated that shortly after the fire began, all the lights went out, contributing to the panic.
The first report reached the Amsterdam ambulance service at 00:38 local time on the 1st. January. The first fire engine arrived at 00:46.
Mayor Frank IJsselmuiden claimed that the crowd had panicked because all but one of the emergency exits were blocked.
Many of those injured were hurt when they smashed windows and leapt from third and second floor windows in an attempt to escape the fire. Others including 53 injured individuals were admitted due to burns, with some being flown to special burns units in Belgium and Germany.
Investigation Into the Fire
The fire was initially investigated intensively by media and politicians. New rules were introduced for decorations in cafés, nightclubs and other venues. The owner and managers of the building were indicted for culpability.
An inquiry showed that the owner Jan Veerman had been negligent in providing escape routes, as well as failing to soak the Christmas decorations with a fire-resistant substance. Also there were too many people in the building at the time of the incident.
The owner was given a conditional prison sentence and community service. As a result of the inquiry Mayor of Edam-Volendam Frank IJsselmuiden and alderman Wim Visscher resigned their positions.
Tourism in Volendam
Volendam is a popular tourist destination. It is well-known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents.
The women's costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is often featured on tourist postcards and posters (although there are believed to be fewer than 50 women now wearing the costume as part of their daily lives, most of them elderly).
There is a regular ferry connection to Marken, a peninsula close by.
Volendam also features a small museum about its history and clothing style, and visitors can have their pictures taken in traditional Dutch costumes.
Volendam on Film
Volendam was a shooting location in Vikas Bahl's 2014 Bollywood film, Queen. The actors established an Indian food shop called Rani's Gol Gappa.
The owner was an Italian, Marco Canadea, as Marcello. The role of Queen was played by Indian actress Kangana Ranaut.
The film follows the story of Rani Mehra, a diffident Punjabi girl from New Delhi who embarks on her honeymoon to Paris and Amsterdam by herself after her fiancé calls off their wedding.
Queen is cited as a ground-breaking and an influential feminist film by many scholars. Over the years, the film has built a strong cult following. It was named as one of the best films of the decade (2010's) by multiple publications such as Paste and Film Companion.
Several publications such as O, The Oprah Magazine, and Cosmopolitan have named it as one of the best films of Indian Cinema. Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express named Queen as one of the 75 finest and most iconic films made in India in the last 70 years.
Music in Volendam
Volendam is well known for its distinctive music, which is called Palingsound (literally "Eel Sound") in reference to Volendam's status as fishing village.
During the 1960's, the local group The Cats was a very popular group in the Netherlands and abroad.
Another band from Volendam was BZN, which became popular in the late 1960's and early 1970's. In 1995 BZN performed a duet with the ten-year-old Jan Smit, who quickly became a celebrity in his own right.
The popular music groups 3JS and Nick & Simon are famously from Volendam; their members have all participated in local musical performances through the years.
You Will Never Be The Same - Cordwainer Smith (Paul Linebarger 1913-66) [2014-04-02 516 SF]
comments by CR:
"We were drunk with happiness in those early years. Everyone was, especially the young people. These were the first years of the rediscovery of Man, when the Instrumentality dug deep in the treasury reconstructing the old cultures, the old languages, and even old troubles." from "Alpha Ralpha Boulevard" by Cordwainer Smith.
This book "You Will Never be the Same" (1963) by Cordwainer Smith has, in my estimation, the singular distinction of being the only collection of science fiction stories whose title accurately describes the effect it will have on the reader. As the book states on the back cover: "Read them and YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME." Smith's vision on the future, introduced in these stories and further developed in others, is a mesmerizing prologue to a fully realized alternate future call the Instrumentality of Mankind.
Smith's first published science-fiction book consists of nine stories all previously published in magazines 1948-1961. All stories are part of The Instrumentality of Mankind future.

QUOTE….“ We were drunk with happiness in those early years. Everybody was, especially the young people. These were the first years of the Rediscovery of Man, when the Instrumentality dug deep in the treasury, reconstructing the old cultures, the old languages, and even the old troubles. The nightmare of perfection had taken our forefathers to the edge of suicide.

Transcript of Kapihan with Senator Honasan
Comments on the IIRC Report
We are at the mercy of the official publication of the complete report that has been the tact that your 4 committees have taken, the committee on public order and illegal drug that is one committee jointly with the committee on justice and human rights and the committee on public information and mas media and the committee on public services under Sen. Bong Revilla we will wait for the report but without prejudice further consultation with Sen. Chiz Escudero and Sen. Revilla the tendency of your committee on public order is to conduct at least one more hearing so that we can focus as it has been born out by bits and pieces of the IIRC report we can focus on the roles and relationship between the local government officials and the police in crisis situations like this like what happened last August 23 and the grievance mechanism that involve PNP personnel. We are planning this is just a plan of your Committee on Public Order and I will have to consult Sen. Escudero and Revilla we will call possibly Mayor Fred Lim, Vice-Mayor Isko Moreno, Col. Yebra and Ombudsman Gutierrez together with the original list that included the Sec. of DILG and the Chief of the PNP. That is the plan and the tendency as of this moment
That is the problem with dealing with the personalities if u noticed only 2 public officers have assumed frontally full responsibility. One is the President of the Republic and the other one is the ground commander, the Chief of the Manila Police who went subsequently on indefinite leave . In between we don't see the same tendency so it is ...for your Committee on Public Order and other Committees involve to look at in aid of legislation the weaknesses of the law, the weaknesses in the implementing rules and regulation including the relationships and of course the weaknesses of the offices involve or all of the above.
On whether there should be more names on the list recommended by the IIRC for possible filing of cases.
That is not our goal. The hearings of the IIRC have been exhaustive enough but we are looking at the possible gaps that your Committees in aid of legislation can cover. It is not within our mandate to look at the culpability legally of the personalities involved that is outside our jurisdiction our job and our mandate is to look at the law and everything that falls under the law, the implementation and the offices involve. We will not comment on whether the list should be increase or reduce. In fact, as we speak, a review by the no less than the office of the President is on going.
Q: You mentioned the next hearing that you will conduct inviting the Ombudsman, Are you optimistic about that since the Ombudsman was invited by the IIRC and was snobbed by the Ombudsman?
Maybe we will get a more positive response from the Ombudsman since the point in inviting the Ombudsman to this hearing aside in aid of legislation is to look at the grievance mechanism that maybe part of the root causes of this hostage taking incident last Aug 23, they might be more responsive to your committees invitation.
On P02 Gregorio Mendoza was not at all included in the list.
Whether we are surprised that will be limited to personal opinion but that is the judgment call that falls back on the exhaustive investigations and marathon hearing in fact that have been conducted by the IIRC. We will not comment on that.
Any parallel investigation that will serve the same objective will be welcome. The Senate Committees will limit itself to its mandate in aid of legislation not in aid of prosecution just to complete the entire picture. The gaps that the IIRC reports may have left we will try to cover. Any internal investigation that will be conducted by the Ombudsman reportedly will be welcome. On whether there will be another hearing.
Yun pa lang ang plano nang Committee on Public Order. We will have to consult Sen. Chiz Escudero and Sen. Bong Revilla.
Napag isipan na namin. Even with the limited information that we got from reports. By the way I should update you, your Committee communicated officially to the no less than the Sec. of Justice the reply was that the President should approve the release of the IIRC Report to your Committee. We went to Plan B which was manifested on the floor by Sen. Migs Zubiri that the Senate as a chamber officially request of a complete copy of the IIRC report. I understand that is on-going. On what the IIRC report did not cover.
Yung relationship. The IIRC report may not have covered the relationship between the police and local government officials including a backward integrative effort towards the grievance mechanism. Yun ang objective nang one more hearing as far as your Committee on Public Order is concern
On legislating PNP protocol vis-a-vis hostage crisis
What we might end up doing is to give PNP Circular Memorandum 2006-022 define the relationship pero walang provision kung i-violate ang memorandum na yun that's one area that we will be looking at. By the way, this might interest you as we said in our Committee hearing of your Committee on Public Information and media and it is on going now and we are encouraged by the positive result we are allowing media to get together so that they can craft their own code of ethics covering more participation from all media network. I would like to underscore it does never been the intention of your committees to use media as a escape goat.
On whether the media met after the hearing
No, Manong Jun. On the contrary, I understand there was a group that met in Tagaytay. After the the hearing without the benefit of the minutes, among the the major networks that we invited and their representatives, only one network reacted.
On jueteng.
On calling for DILG Usec Puno to attend the next hearing
Senator: Either si Sec. Puno who was involved in other issues. Baka ipatawag namin ulit si Sec. Robredo.We will not comment on that list until we look at the IRRC complete official report.
Well, apparently, from one hearing and including the privilege speech of Senator Santiago, we have two choices - enforce it or legalize it. So, the problem now is getting additional information so that we can make a rational decision on the matter.
Q: Enforced again, I mean who do you charge? Looks like the whistle blowers that the witnesses for the peer because medyo dala na e.
Arbishop Cruz made that very clear na he's not even inclined to encourage the other resource persons to come forward because of the discouraging experience, painful experience and in some cases fatal experience.
Q: Sir, ang public order ba hindi isasama sa investigation on the jueteng?
If it is referred to our committee. In fact, kasama na rin diyan ang games and amusements. Kaya lang I think it was a laudable initiative of Chairman TG Guingona and Chairman Bongbong Marcos that they took the initiative.
Q: Kasi before public order talaga ang ganyang event.
Public order at saka games. Pero we can take it from there. It doesn't really matter as long as the issues are joined and made public. There is enough word for anybody.
On the hostage crisis.
Actually, may mga mas malalalim pa diyan e at hindi lang sa kaso ni Capt. Mendoza. Siguro sya lang iyong narating iyong hangganan niya at nag desisyon siya na gumawa nung ganoong klaseng marahas na hakbang na kinukundena naman natin. Kaya itong susunod na hearing na binabalak natin kapag nakapag desisyon na kaming mga chairman ng committee. Si Senator Chiz and Sen. Bong Revilla ay titingnan, iyong grievance mechanism. Bakit? Alam mo, iyong kapulisan natin, isang reklamo lang sa ombudsman, internal affairs. 'Yung people's law enforcement board, local government, regional offices and provincial offices, isa lang ha. Talagang umiikot na ang mundo.suspendido, tigil iyong salaries and benefits. So, ang balak natin ay i-consolidate ito para kung may reklamo ka na sa isa, harassment o hindi, unang-una ay mapabilis iyong resolution at mapatanuyan na ito ay may laman, may sustansiya at hindi ito harassment case lang. Pangalawa, this is the other side of the coin so to speak, ito perennial na reklamo. Personally, lumalapit sa akintayo kasi ang kasalukuyang chairman ng public order. Yung kapulisan ha, yung legal support system na dapat tutulong sa kanila kapag kinakasuhan sila ay napakahina. Para bang pulis ka kapag kinasuhan ka, bahala ka sa buhay mo. So, kailangan palakasin din iyon para hindi na maulit ito sa ganitong klaseng sitwasyon. So tatanungin natin ang ombudsman na kausap ko the other day, immediately after the hearing, si Dir. Gen. Bacalso. Sabi ko, minsan pupuntahan ko kayo diyan para magkaroon tayo ng more comprehensive briefing doon sa gusto natin hindi lamang doon sa PNP reform law kundi din sa isyung ito kasama na siguro iyong sa jueteng and grievance mechanism.
On what the police should do
Yung batas kasi, huwag sanang detalyado para me latitude tayo doon sa implementing rules and regulations. Huwag masyadong broad para subject to misinterpretation. Iyan ang isang area na pag uukulan natin ng pansin. A sort of prescribing na ito ang gawin ninyo... A,B,C,D dahil kung gawin natin yan, magiging redundant na yung leadership ng kapulisan, yung leadership ng DILG. Ayaw natin na masyadong i micro manage ito and at the same time, ayaw natin ng masyadong motherhood baka mawalan na ng latitude yung batas. But, ang puno't dulo nito, you cannot legislate conscience. These are things that you cannot legislate. Talagang tao pa rin ang pag uusapan dito.
On hierarchy of authority
Kasama na iyon dahil sa nangyaring ito. Isa sa ating unresolved issues na lagi nating inilalantad kapag may pagkakataon, the DILG Secretary is wearing two hats... chairman din siya ng NAPOLCOM. Kaya kapag nagsalita siya, siyempre susunod ang kapulisan, meron din siyang administrative supervision over the local government officials. So, what hat is he wearing for every situation? Unresolved iyon. And, the PNP kahit masyadong prominent yan in this issues, is just one bureau under the Department of Interior and Local Government.
On the speech of Senator Santiago
Ang assessment natin doon ay hindi naman talaga nawawala. Naaalala niyo yong sinabi ni Archbishop Cruz, noong lumantad ang isyung ito, many congresses ago, sabi niya natigil ng 3 weeks tapos lumabas na naman. So, hindi talaga tumitigil. So, yan ang pag-uusapan ng mabuti para once and for all we decide. All out ba? Yung tanong ni Senator Santiago kahapon, na kung hindi natin kayang sugpuin, e di i-legalized na lang natin. Bakit tayo mag-aaksaya ng panahon, resources.. ba't natin ulit ulitin ang isyung ito. I agree, we have to make a decision. Now is the time that we face the issue and on. Nalantad iyan noong hearing di ba? Sabi ni Senate President, you study legalized again. Pero sabi niya din doon sa PCSO, sa pulis.. sa DILG, you submit to us your intelligence report, your studies. Pati BIR iniimbita na, pati anti-money laundering council.
Q: Sir, kapag na legalized, yong mga lumilitaw na nakinabang sa jueteng money, wala na bang liability?
Well, i-aaply natin diyan ang batas, yong retroactive effect. Pero may sinabi din si Archbishop Cruz, yong sagot nya sa katanungang "Archbishop, what do you think of legalizing it?" Sabi niya, kapag I legalized niyo yan ay may bago na naming susulpot na kapalit. Doon nawawala ang revenues, hindi ba? Kapag i legalized mo, assuming effective tayo, na sa kaban ng bayan mapupunta. Kapag ginawa mong illegal or may sumulpot na illegal, hindi sa gobyerno iyon mapupunta. Yon ang area... ang gray area sa batas.
On supporting the move to legalize jueteng
Senator: No, I support the move to make a decision already. I mean for information. Hinihintay pa natin yong intelligence report, yong report ng PAGCOR and PCSO and iyong magiging report ng BIR and anti-money laundering council. Iyon ang problema natin when we deal on decisions like this. Kulang sa impormasyon and then biglang you come up with the names and allegations. We have to be fair to each other.
On conducting another hearing regarding jueteng
I asked the same question because I have conducted and attended many hearings before in the past regarding jueteng. We are hoping and we should be working towards this objective na dapat this time may mangyari. In fact sabi ni Senator Santiago, may existing na mga batas, kailangan lang palakasin at i-refocus.
The problem has never been solved. Walang closure. May committee report, but the fact that jueteng exists means that even in aid of legislation we have not been effective in solving this problem, but I would also agree doon sa sinabi ni Chief PNP Bacalzo na this is a multi-dimensional problem. Example, pag walang alternative livelihood at ipilit nating sugpuin ito, there will be a rise in crimes against person and property, including illegal drugs. We have to deal with that.
On Congress legislating a law penalizing operators of jueteng.
Kung all-out. Tama 'yung sinabi ni Senator Santiago. That is if we consider Plan A, kung all-out. Pag-aralan din natin 'yung Plan B, legalize. So, choices.
On whether the government is conceding the fight against jueteng with its legalization.
'Yun na nga ang sabi ni Senator Santiago, tanggapin na natin. Ilang taon na, marami nang administrasyon, marami nang Presidente, hanggang ngayon nandiyan pa 'yung jueteng. Baka kailangang tanggapin na natin na ang solusyon lamang diyan ay i-legalize. So, hindi ko sinasabing all-out war, or i-legalize. Panahon na para magdesisyon tayo at 'yung desisyon na 'yan, manggagaling sa impormasyon na manggagaling sa inyo sa media, sa police, sa DILG, sa BIR, kay Archbishop Cruz, sa anti-money laundering council, sa PCSO, sa Pagcor. 'Yan ang mga involved so far.
On creating a law that will kill illegal gambling.
'Yun ang magiging dulo nito. 'Yun ang objective dito. Makagawa ng batas, palakasin 'yung batas. Pero 'yung batas na 'yan, ay tutugon pa rin sa desisyon na binanggit natin kanina. Either palakasin natin 'yung batas para all-out na tayo na sugpuin 'yan for the last time, or palakasin 'yung batas, para i-legalize 'yan. 'Yun ang magiging desisyon natin.
Actually we have to dig deep into our archives so that we can consider the whole body, the entire body of hearings, propose legislation, resolutions, including intelligence reports on information that will allow us once and for all to make an informed decision and choice. Until we are able to consolidate, magiging piecemeal na naman ito at pag nawala na naman ang isyung ito, makakalimutan at maghe-hearing na naman tayo sa 16th Congress.
Q: Sir, 'yung legalization parang nakaka-frustrate if you go towards that all-out instead of information? Kasi 'yung mga nilagay sa listahan, both by Archbishop Cruz and Senator Santiago, what, they go scot-free?
That is entirely procedural. 'Yung tinanong kanina, ito ba ay may retroactive effect? 'Yung mga na-pinpoint na ebidensiya, hindi ito allegations lang na talagang involved, will the law impact on them retroactively? That is a legal, technical and procedural issue. Walang pinag-uusapa diyan.
On how to enforce the law against jueteng when it seems impossible to do so.
Hindi lang 'yan. Iba 'yung issue na kaya mo bang sundin 'yung money trail? Paano mo susundan kung cash ang transaction, at hindi dumadaan sa banking system? How do you trace that? Kung nakatago sa baul o sa ilalim ng kama o sa sako 'yung pera, paano mo susundan? That's why you want this, to get this straight from the BIR, from the Anti-Money Laundering Council, and corroborate this with what should be accurate intelligence reports from the PNP, the DILG, and add that to the initial information that was given by Archbishop Cruz.
On how to trace the money used in jueteng if it did not pass AMLA
Tama 'yan, that is part of the complexity of problems kaya I agree that we should reduce it to its simplest terms and make a decision dahil sa ang problema talaga, ang hirap i-trace. Ang hirap i-pinpoint. Wala kang ebidensiya, wala kang icha-charge. Involved ang police allegedly. Involved ang government official, media. Now, we have another dimension, some nationally elected officials. How do you fight a problem like that? Legalize. It might partially solve the problem but it is better than what we have now. We're up against a blank wall.
On whether legalization of jueteng means integration with the STL.
No, it does involve STL. All forms of gambling. Technically, ang hinahanap natin 'yung revenues na dapat mapunta sa gobyerno. Pag sinabi nating gambling, illegal lahat 'yan, 'yung karera ng Bangka, pag pumusta kayo diyan, illegal 'yan. Hindi pupunta sa gobyerno 'yung kinita mo diyan.
Pero at the same time ginagamit na cover 'yun. Kunyari STL, pero under the surface, illegal pala, jueteng pala. Ang hinahanap talaga natin dito, kung saan napupunta 'yung dapat mapunta sa gobyerno para magamit? Nakit ninyo 'yung figures na sinabi ni Senator Santiago kahapon. Kaya illegal, dahil hindi napupunta sa gobyerno. Napupunta sa kung sino-sinong bulsa, kung kani-kaninong bulsa.
Q: Siguro sir, misnomer 'yung illegalize 'yung jueteng? That is not the only form of illegal gambling. They now have such things as loteng, last two.
Hindi lang 'yan. The moral issues, sabi nga ni Senator Santiago, she will not debate on that. 'Yung kaunting kinikita ng magsasaka o tricycle driver, pag tinaya sa jueteng at natalo, magugutom 'yung pamilya. Ngayon, may other dimension, dinadaya daw ito. May dayaan, how do we deal with that?
On Senator Lacson
Separate issue 'yan. The Ethics Committee has to decide on this, deliberate on this, at 'yung procedural na legal, it is entirely up to the courts. Sooner or later, if you ask me, I would advice my classmate Senator Lacson to subject himself to due process. That is the only way to go.
" Adjutant Karl Höcker's postwar trial documented his culpability in mass murders committed at this camp.
"On 3 May 1989 a district court in the German city of Bielefeld sentenced Höcker to four years imprisonment for his involvement in gassing to death prisoners, primarily Polish Jews, in the concentration camp Majdanek in Poland. Camp records showed that between May 1943 and May 1944 Höcker had acquired at least 3,610 kilograms (7,960 lb) of Zyklon B poisonous gas for use in Majdanek from the Hamburg firm of Tesch & Stabenow."
In addition, Commandant Rudolf Höss of Auschwitz wrote in his memoirs, while awaiting trial in Poland, that one method of murder used at Majdanek (KZ Lublin) was Zyklon-B."

QUOTE….“ We were drunk with happiness in those early years. Everybody was, especially the young people. These were the first years of the Rediscovery of Man, when the Instrumentality dug deep in the treasury, reconstructing the old cultures, the old languages, and even the old troubles. The nightmare of perfection had taken our forefathers to the edge of suicide. Now under the leadership of the Lord Jestocost and the Lady Alice More, the ancient civilizations were rising like great land masses out of the sea of the past”….from Alpha Ralpha Boulevard by Cordwainer Smith

El lunes 25 de noviembre es el Día Internacional contra la violencia machista y a lo largo y ancho del mundo se celebrarán masivas manifestaciones en respuesta a esta lacra. Como ya hemos hecho en multitud de ocasiones -desde el 8 de marzo, pasando por las movilizaciones masivas contra la justicia patriarcal que amparó a “la Manada” y, ahora a la “Manada de Manresa”- en el Estado español volveremos a exigir el fin de la violencia machista que año tras año nos explota, oprime, humilla y asesina.
No tenemos miedo, sí tenemos rabia
La fuerza arrolladora que ha demostrado el movimiento por los derechos de las mujeres trabajadoras y jóvenes es imparable y sigue siendo un ejemplo muy poderoso. Por eso no es ninguna casualidad que la derecha franquista -PP, Ciudadanos y Vox- ataque e intente desprestigiar la lucha que millones de mujeres, junto con nuestros compañeros, estamos protagonizando.
En el Estado español estas manifestaciones del 25 de noviembre se celebrarán tras las elecciones generales del pasado 10-N, cuyos resultados vuelven a poner encima de la mesa una cuestión fundamental: que la lucha de la clase trabajadora y la juventud en defensa de nuestros derechos y contra los y las culpables de nuestra opresión es nuestra mayor fuerza. Desde Libres y Combativas no minimizamos ni restamos importancia al avance electoral de la extrema derecha de Vox, pero sí queremos resaltar que el bloque reaccionario ha vuelto a fracasar en su objetivo de hacerse con el Gobierno y que la derecha tiene enormes dificultades para seguir ganando apoyos: pierden casi 900.000 votos respecto a las elecciones del 28A.
La derecha y la extrema derecha son una amenaza muy real para todos los derechos que hemos conquistado en base a la movilización y a la lucha en las calles. Por eso sabemos, que la única forma de derrotar la ofensiva que representan es precisamente levantando una izquierda combativa en las calles, que defienda un feminismo revolucionario y de combate, un ecologismo anticapitalista, el fin de los recortes en la educación y la sanidad, el fin de la precariedad y la explotación, que garantice un sistema de pensiones público y digno… todas las reivindicaciones que durante años hemos exigido en las calles.
Conseguir todas estas reivindicaciones no es ninguna utopía. El próximo gobierno de coalición entre el PSOE y Unidas Podemos ha sido recibido por amplios sectores de la juventud y la clase trabajadora como una oportunidad para ello. Eso supone confrontar con los grandes poderes económicos, con los bancos, con la Iglesia Católica y los planes de austeridad de la Unión Europea. No queremos palabras, queremos hechos. Ya tenemos la experiencia de los últimos meses de gobierno del PSOE, que a pesar de considerarse el "gobierno más feminista de la historia", seguía respetando, entre muchas otras cosas, la justicia franquista y patriarcal que deja en libertad a violadores y culpa a las víctimas. No echamos a Rajoy de la Moncloa ni hemos derrotado a la derecha en las urnas dos veces para que todo siga igual. ¡La lucha debe continuar!
Somos feministas y anticapitalistas
La batalla contra la violencia machista es la lucha contra el sistema capitalista que la genera. Es la lucha contra la cosificación y la mercantilización de nuestros cuerpos, contra la trata, los vientres de alquiler, la prostitución y la pornografía. Es la lucha por unos salarios justos y unos puestos de trabajo dignos. Por una educación sexual inclusiva en los centros educativos para educar en el respeto, la igualdad y la inclusión. Contra la LGTBIfobia y la moral podrida de la Iglesia Católica.
El próximo 25 de noviembre tomaremos las calles de nuevo por todo ello. Porque es en las calles donde venceremos a este sistema y construiremos una sociedad nueva donde nadie conozca la explotación, la injusticia ni la miseria.

..................................................Monday, November 25 is International Day against sexist violence and massive demonstrations will be held throughout the world in response to this scourge. As we have done on many occasions - from March 8, through the massive mobilizations against patriarchal justice that protected “La Manada” and, now to “Manada de Manresa” - in the Spanish State we will demand the end of the macho violence that year after year exploits us, oppresses, humiliates and murders.
We are not afraid, we are angry
The overwhelming force demonstrated by the movement for the rights of working women and youth is unstoppable and remains a very powerful example. That is why it is no accident that the Francoist right -PP, Citizens and Vox- attack and try to discredit the struggle that millions of women, along with our partners, are leading.
In the Spanish State, these demonstrations on November 25 will be held after the general elections of the past 10-N, whose results once again put a fundamental issue on the table: that the struggle of the working class and youth in defense of our rights and against those guilty of our oppression is our greatest strength. From Free and Combative we do not minimize or downplay the electoral progress of the extreme right of Vox, but we do want to highlight that the reactionary bloc has failed again in its objective of seizing the Government and that the right has enormous difficulties to continue gaining support : they lose almost 900,000 votes regarding the 28A elections.
The right and the extreme right are a very real threat to all the rights we have won based on mobilization and street fighting. That is why we know that the only way to defeat the offensive they represent is precisely by raising a combative left in the streets, defending a revolutionary and combat feminism, an anti-capitalist ecology, the end of cuts in education and health, the end of precariousness and exploitation, which guarantees a public and dignified pension system ... all the demands we have demanded for years on the streets.
Getting all these claims is no utopia. The next coalition government between the PSOE and United We have been received by broad sectors of youth and the working class as an opportunity for this. That means confronting the great economic powers, the banks, the Catholic Church and the austerity plans of the European Union. We don't want words, we want facts. We already have the experience of the last months of the PSOE government, which despite being considered the "most feminist government in history", continued to respect, among many other things, the Franco and patriarchal justice that frees rapists and blames the victims. We do not throw Rajoy de la Moncloa nor have we defeated right at the polls twice so that everything remains the same. The fight must continue!
We are feminists and anti-capitalists
The battle against sexist violence is the fight against the capitalist system that generates it. It is the fight against the reification and commodification of our bodies, against trafficking, rent bellies, prostitution and pornography. It is the fight for fair wages and decent jobs. For an inclusive sexual education in educational centers to educate in respect, equality and inclusion. Against LGBTIphobia and the rotten morals of the Catholic Church.
On November 25 we will take the streets again for all this. Because it is in the streets where we will overcome this system and build a new society where no one knows exploitation, injustice or misery.
Join Free and Combative!
The 25N all and everyone on the streets against sexist violence!

QUOTE “Perhaps you have heard of my by another name? By the name of the Soul Thief?” The creature lashed its serrated tale and its bovine nostrils dissented. The horned head swayed on the short neck and the long teeth gleamed in the darkness. It reached out scaly claws and began to lumber towards the Prince of Ruins. From The Vanishing Tower by Michael Moorcock
Yes, I know this is not a photo of Mads Brügger, director of the incredible and hilarious documentary 'The Red Chapel'. But he did write down the name of his next project, 'The Quatraro Mystery' and beneath it his autograph. Let me rewind a little ...
'The Red Chapel' screened in the 2010 New Directors New Films series. It documents Mads Brügger's clever and cunning infiltration into North Korea under the pretext of cultural exchange. Along with two Korean-Danish comedians, Brügger was granted tightly-controlled access to a 'virtual reality' version of North Korea that was scrubbed clean of all signs of repression, persecution or dissent.
Also conspicuously missing from their tour were disabled North Korean citizens - an absence frequently addressed by the film and by Jacob, one of the Korean-Danish comedians who is himself disabled, and describes himself as a 'spastic standup comedian'. The North Koreans reviewed Brügger's footage every night for objectionable content, but were apparently unable to decipher Simon's speech (subtitled in the movie) and didn't discern Brügger's true intentions until the movie was completed and on the festival circuit.
You can read more about this amazing movie elsewhere but here's some notes from the Q&A with Mads Brügger at the MoMA that followed afterward:
- Ms. Pak, the North Korean minder who was presumably a member of the secret police, encouraged the Korean-Danish comedian Simon (the bigger one) to move to North Korea to become an action movie star! Apparently he possesses features that conform to the North Korean ideal of beauty. Simon declined. This conversation was excluded from the final cut due to length
- Brügger is unaware of where Ms. Pak is, or what happened to her once the North Koreans once they realized they'd been tricked. Asked whether he felt any guilt for using Ms. Pak, and possibly endangering her life, Brügger responded that he attempted to absolve her of any culpability by stating very clearly in the film that she was completely faithful in her duty and devotion to the state as their guide, and was not party in any way to the film's ultimately scathing, accusatory angle
- The North Korean censors objected to footage of a statue of Kim Il Sung that made him look chubby
- Brügger consulted Danish experts on North Korea on what North Korean humor is like. Apparently, they like fart jokes. So Simon and Jacob incorporated farting into their original standup routine
- Also learned from the experts on North Korea: Hennessy is the preferred brand of the Dear Leader
- Brügger: 'Being in North Korea is like shock therapy for paranoids' - spent most of the final two weeks of filming drunk (I'm trying to avoid giving away an astounding scene toward the end, but you'll know it when you see it)
- Asked further about how he managed to gain access to film in North Korea, Brügger said he believed his resemblance to Lenin helped in negotiations
- Once the North Korean government realized they'd been deceived, they sent a message (a fax, if I recall correctly) to Brügger, saying that The difference between man and animal is conscience. And you have no conscience (snap!)
Anyway, I couldn't find my little moleskine notepad so I doodled notes onto the back of my program from Good Friday service. After the Q&A I approached Brügger to tell him how great I thought the movie was and what is he working on next? He said he was investigating the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a high-ranking official of the European Union. The project is called 'The Quatraro Mystery'
The what? I said, reaching for a pen
Here, I'll write it down, offered Brügger (see picture)
I asked him if he'd autograph it also and he said sure. In the photo above, a New Directors New Films program guide/booklet is resting on top of the program (I didn't have this until after the screening)

We already have the experience of the last months of the PSOE government, which despite being considered the "most feminist government in history", continued to respect, among many other things, the Franco and patriarchal justice that frees rapists and blames the victims. We do not throw Rajoy de la Moncloa nor have we defeated right at the polls twice so that everything remains the same. The fight must continue!
We are feminists and anti-capitalists
The battle against sexist violence is the fight against the capitalist system that generates it. It is the fight against the reification and commodification of our bodies, against trafficking, rent bellies, prostitution and pornography. It is the fight for fair wages and decent jobs. For an inclusive sexual education in educational centers to educate in respect, equality and inclusion. Against LGBTIphobia and the rotten morals of the Catholic Church.
On November 25 we will take the streets again for all this. Because it is in the streets where we will overcome this system and build a new society where no one knows exploitation, injustice or misery.
Join Free and Combative!
The 25N all and everyone on the streets against sexist violence!
El lunes 25 de noviembre es el Día Internacional contra la violencia machista y a lo largo y ancho del mundo se celebrarán masivas manifestaciones en respuesta a esta lacra. Como ya hemos hecho en multitud de ocasiones -desde el 8 de marzo, pasando por las movilizaciones masivas contra la justicia patriarcal que amparó a “la Manada” y, ahora a la “Manada de Manresa”- en el Estado español volveremos a exigir el fin de la violencia machista que año tras año nos explota, oprime, humilla y asesina.
No tenemos miedo, sí tenemos rabia
La fuerza arrolladora que ha demostrado el movimiento por los derechos de las mujeres trabajadoras y jóvenes es imparable y sigue siendo un ejemplo muy poderoso. Por eso no es ninguna casualidad que la derecha franquista -PP, Ciudadanos y Vox- ataque e intente desprestigiar la lucha que millones de mujeres, junto con nuestros compañeros, estamos protagonizando.
En el Estado español estas manifestaciones del 25 de noviembre se celebrarán tras las elecciones generales del pasado 10-N, cuyos resultados vuelven a poner encima de la mesa una cuestión fundamental: que la lucha de la clase trabajadora y la juventud en defensa de nuestros derechos y contra los y las culpables de nuestra opresión es nuestra mayor fuerza. Desde Libres y Combativas no minimizamos ni restamos importancia al avance electoral de la extrema derecha de Vox, pero sí queremos resaltar que el bloque reaccionario ha vuelto a fracasar en su objetivo de hacerse con el Gobierno y que la derecha tiene enormes dificultades para seguir ganando apoyos: pierden casi 900.000 votos respecto a las elecciones del 28A.
La derecha y la extrema derecha son una amenaza muy real para todos los derechos que hemos conquistado en base a la movilización y a la lucha en las calles. Por eso sabemos, que la única forma de derrotar la ofensiva que representan es precisamente levantando una izquierda combativa en las calles, que defienda un feminismo revolucionario y de combate, un ecologismo anticapitalista, el fin de los recortes en la educación y la sanidad, el fin de la precariedad y la explotación, que garantice un sistema de pensiones público y digno… todas las reivindicaciones que durante años hemos exigido en las calles.
Conseguir todas estas reivindicaciones no es ninguna utopía. El próximo gobierno de coalición entre el PSOE y Unidas Podemos ha sido recibido por amplios sectores de la juventud y la clase trabajadora como una oportunidad para ello. Eso supone confrontar con los grandes poderes económicos, con los bancos, con la Iglesia Católica y los planes de austeridad de la Unión Europea. No queremos palabras, queremos hechos. Ya tenemos la experiencia de los últimos meses de gobierno del PSOE, que a pesar de considerarse el "gobierno más feminista de la historia", seguía respetando, entre muchas otras cosas, la justicia franquista y patriarcal que deja en libertad a violadores y culpa a las víctimas. No echamos a Rajoy de la Moncloa ni hemos derrotado a la derecha en las urnas dos veces para que todo siga igual. ¡La lucha debe continuar!
Somos feministas y anticapitalistas
La batalla contra la violencia machista es la lucha contra el sistema capitalista que la genera. Es la lucha contra la cosificación y la mercantilización de nuestros cuerpos, contra la trata, los vientres de alquiler, la prostitución y la pornografía. Es la lucha por unos salarios justos y unos puestos de trabajo dignos. Por una educación sexual inclusiva en los centros educativos para educar en el respeto, la igualdad y la inclusión. Contra la LGTBIfobia y la moral podrida de la Iglesia Católica.
El próximo 25 de noviembre tomaremos las calles de nuevo por todo ello. Porque es en las calles donde venceremos a este sistema y construiremos una sociedad nueva donde nadie conozca la explotación, la injusticia ni la miseria.
¡Únete a Libres y Combativas!
¡El 25N todas y todos a las calles contra la violencia machista!
..................................................Monday, November 25 is International Day against sexist violence and massive demonstrations will be held throughout the world in response to this scourge. As we have done on many occasions - from March 8, through the massive mobilizations against patriarchal justice that protected “La Manada” and, now to “Manada de Manresa” - in the Spanish State we will demand the end of the macho violence that year after year exploits us, oppresses, humiliates and murders.
We are not afraid, we are angry
The overwhelming force demonstrated by the movement for the rights of working women and youth is unstoppable and remains a very powerful example. That is why it is no accident that the Francoist right -PP, Citizens and Vox- attack and try to discredit the struggle that millions of women, along with our partners, are leading.
In the Spanish State, these demonstrations on November 25 will be held after the general elections of the past 10-N, whose results once again put a fundamental issue on the table: that the struggle of the working class and youth in defense of our rights and against those guilty of our oppression is our greatest strength. From Free and Combative we do not minimize or downplay the electoral progress of the extreme right of Vox, but we do want to highlight that the reactionary bloc has failed again in its objective of seizing the Government and that the right has enormous difficulties to continue gaining support : they lose almost 900,000 votes regarding the 28A elections.
The right and the extreme right are a very real threat to all the rights we have won based on mobilization and street fighting. That is why we know that the only way to defeat the offensive they represent is precisely by raising a combative left in the streets, defending a revolutionary and combat feminism, an anti-capitalist ecology, the end of cuts in education and health, the end of precariousness and exploitation, which guarantees a public and dignified pension system ... all the demands we have demanded for years on the streets.
Getting all these claims is no utopia. The next coalition government between the PSOE and United We have been received by broad sectors of youth and the working class as an opportunity for this. That means confronting the great economic powers, the banks, the Catholic Church and the austerity plans of the European Union. We don't want words, we want facts. We already have the experience of the last months of the PSOE government, which despite being considered the "most feminist government in history", continued to respect, among many other things, the Franco and patriarchal justice that frees rapists and blames the victims.
