Heitor De Paola. Carta dos presos políticos militares argentinos Diferentes Penitenciárias Federais Estimados Senhores e camaradas: Dirigimo-nos aos Senhores pela primeira vez, dizendo-lhes que conformamos um grupo ao redor de 400 Oficiais do Exército Argentino, presos em diferentes Penitenciárias Federais de todo o país há já vários anos (em alguns casos mais de 6 anos), processados e alguns condenados pelas ações da Força na Guerra contra a subversão. Pertencemos, a grande maioria, à faixa de promoções CMN que vão da 93 à 106, quer dizer, que no ano de 1976 nos encontrávamos desde Subt(s) no 1º ano a Cap(s) no 2º ou 3º ano, isto é, todos Of(s) Subalt(s). Aqui existiu uma guerra e existiram ordens (nem legais nem ilegais), foram ordens. A isto soma-se a dor e a enfermidade de nossas famílias, essa “grande família militar” da qual tanto nos falaram e falamos. E também por favor, não se deixem levar pelos que falam “deste novo Exército”.

Charlie Beckett, POLIS Director » Blog Archive » Are We Ignoring the Dark Side of the Internet? Evgeny Morozov at LSE (Guest blog) This report on a lecture at the LSE by Evgeny Morozov is by POLIS intern, Beth Lowell. From discussions of Iran’s “Twitter Revolution” to praise for Google’s decision to stop its censorship in China, the Internet is often heralded as a vital tool for democracy.

The United States government in particular has long referred to the Internet as a beacon of hope, a great equalizing tool that has the potential to spread democratic practices across the globe by making information available to all. However, in his book The Net Delusion: How Not to Liberate the World, Evengy Morozov steps back from the glow of all this Internet hope and optimism to ask: aren’t we missing something? During his LSE public lecture, Morozov opened with a confession: he used to be an Internet optimist too. A native of Belarus, Morozov was initially drawn to Internet idealism but was quickly disheartened when he saw that his work with NGOs and as a blogger was not, in his opinion, making much of a difference. Anarchism and Other Essays: Anarchism: What It Really Stands For. Emma Goldman, Anarchism and Other Essays (Third revised edition, New York: Mother Earth Publishing Association, 1917) Ever reviled, accursed, ne'er understood, Thou art the grisly terror of our age.

"Wreck of all order," cry the multitude, "Art thou, and war and murder's endless rage. " O, let them cry. To them that ne'er have striven The truth that lies behind a word to find, To them the word's right meaning was not given. They shall continue blind among the blind. But thou, O word, so clear, so strong, so pure, Thou sayest all which I for goal have taken. THE history of human growth and development is at the same time the history of the terrible struggle of every new idea heralding the approach of a brighter dawn. Anarchism could not hope to escape the fate of all other ideas of innovation. To deal even remotely with all that is being said and done against Anarchism would necessitate the writing of a whole volume. What, then, are the objections? Destruction and violence!

La subjectivité cartographiée. La estrategia del nenúfar -- Los Dueños del Circo. Traducido para Rebelión por Germán LeyensLo primero que vi el mes pasado cuando entré en el avión de carga C-17 gris oscuro de la Fuerza Aérea fue un vacío, algo faltaba. Faltaba un brazo izquierdo, para ser exacto, cortado a la altura del hombro, temporalmente parchado y unido. Carne gruesa, pálida, manchada de un rojo brillante en los bordes. Parecía carne cortada en pedazos. La cara y lo que quedaba del resto del hombre estaban ocultas por mantas, un edredón con la bandera de EE.UU. y un revoltijo de tubos y cintas, alambres, bolsas de goteo, y monitores médicos. Ese hombre y otros dos soldados gravemente heridos - uno con dos muñones donde había habido piernas, el otro al que le faltaba una pierna bajo el muslo - estaban entubados, inconscientes y acostados en camillas colgadas de las paredes del avión que acababa de aterrizar en la Base Aérea Ramstein de Alemania.

Un tatuaje en el brazo restante del soldado decía: "MUERTE MEJOR QUE DESHONRA". "¿De dónde de África? " Política y Social media, cómo debería ser esta relación. No deja de resultar sorprendente el análisis de las tendencias, marcadas por los sucesos, que nos llevan a vislumbrar una única espiral conformada por los paradigmas tradicionales y los nuevos paradigmas sociales. Una espiral en la que, mientras la crisis estructural, sistémica y global, se consolida como una crisis provocada por el abuso y la vulneración de los valores inherentes a los seres humanos y últimos responsables de la convivencia pacífica y eficiente de las sociedades, el mundo virtual vive su momento de esplendor y sigue caminando hacia un ciclo de maduración que aún no se vislumbra.

Dentro de las grandes contradicciones con las que enfrentamos ésta dicotomía entre el mundo real y el virtual, existen varios conceptos entre los que destaca la confianza o más bien, la falta de confianza. La clase política ha errado en sus estrategias de marketing político, más que errar no le tomó el peso específico a las plataformas sociales.

Crooks and Liars. L-3 Communications attacked on heels of Lockheed Martin breach; RSA tokens apparently were used. Another major defense contractor hacked; RSA tokens likely involved L-3 Communciations attacked on heels of Lockheed Martin breach By William JacksonJun 01, 2011 Fallout from a breach at EMC Corp.’s RSA Security division earlier this year continues to cascade through the defense industry, as information taken in that breach is believed to have been used against major contractor L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. The report follows a similar attack against contracting giant Lockheed Martin. The L-3 attack was reported May 27 by Reuters, which said attackers reportedly were able to spoof the passcode from an RSA SecurID token.

Similar data is believed to have been used in a May 21 attempt to access Lockheed Martin, which the company described as a “significant and tenacious attack on its information systems network.” Related stories: 'Significant' attack shuts down Lockheed network Hackers gain access to RSA's SecurID security tokens.

Démocratie L'Islande invente la Wiki-Constitution C'est une première mondiale: l'Islande veut se doter d'un nouveau texte constitutionnel, et tout le monde peut participer. Via Internet et les réseaux sociaux, citoyens islandais et étrangers font évoluer le projet en débattant et en soumettant leurs propositions... Des membres du Conseil constitutionnel interagissent avec les internautes © Skrifstofa Stjórnlagaráðs / flickr Frappée de plein fouet par la crise économique, l'Islande avait besoin d'un nouveau souffle. Il pourrait bien venir d'Internet. L'Islande met en pratique le "crowdsourcing", néologisme apparu en 2006 qui désigne le fait d'utiliser le savoir-faire et la créativité d'un grand nombre d'internautes afin de réaliser un projet.

Une démocratie véritable Cas A : Vous n’êtes pas encore inscrits au site. Privacy Policy - October 13, 2011. Privacy PolicyOn the public commodification of privacy. We have no more privacy. That’s what we’re told; certainly it’s something we feel. Of course it’s been thrilling, for those of us with the means and the Internet, to be more connected to each other and the world than we could have ever imagined.

We can correspond at lightening speed. Vast, seemingly infinite quantities of information — more than we ever knew existed, more than we know how to process — is available for our consumption at any hour of the day or night. We the non-celebrities are making ourselves more available, in vaster quantities. We want access to information. “[Facebook] is just a few updates away now from euthanizing the concept of privacy,” Ben Parr recently warned on the social media website Mashable.

Yet, is there anything that we do in private that we don't do in public anymore? Consider a street in 19th-century France. Baudelaire takes pleasure in his work. Nonetheless, one must be careful. Statement of Principles. Book Review: Great Soul. Everything you ever wanted to know about anarchism. This classic statement of anarchism was written by a diverse group of anarchists in Cardiff around 1980 and it is an interesting historical record of the optimism of mainstream anarchist thought at that time.

There is probably more rubbish talked about anarchism than any other political idea. Actually, it has nothing to do with a belief in chaos, death and destruction. Anarchists do not normally carry bombs, nor do they ascribe any virtue to beating up old ladies. It is no accident that the sinister image of the mad anarchist is so accepted. The State, the press and all the assorted authoritarian types, use every means at their disposal to present anarchy as an unthinkable state of carnage and chaos. We can expect little else from power-mongers who would have no power to monger if we had our way.

They have to believe that authority and obedience are essential in order to justify their own crimes to themselves. Yet there are a limitless range of possible societies without the State.

"...this time however I come as the victorious Dionysus, who will turn the world into a holiday...Not that I have much time... " --Nietzsche (from his last "insane" letter to Cosima Wagner) Pirate Utopias THE SEA-ROVERS AND CORSAIRS of the 18th century created an "information network" that spanned the globe: primitive and devoted primarily to grim business, the net nevertheless functioned admirably.

Scattered throughout the net were islands, remote hideouts where ships could be watered and provisioned, booty traded for luxuries and necessities. Some of these islands supported "intentional communities," whole mini-societies living consciously outside the law and determined to keep it up, even if only for a short but merry life. Some years ago I looked through a lot of secondary material on piracy hoping to find a study of these enclaves--but it appeared as if no historian has yet found them worthy of analysis. Waiting for the Revolution You will argue that this is a counsel of despair. 1. 2. The Story of Your Enslavement. International Council >> Encuentros EL PAÍS. Krugman: “En España se decidirá el destino de Europa” España. Para el premio Nobel de Economía Paul Krugman el proceso de la crisis vuelve sobre los pasos de los años 1931, “el año donde todo se vino abajo”, cuando España aparece como el signo de ese probable desplome que “decidirá el destino de Europa”.

Así lo sostuvo en su columna del diario El País, desde donde viene siguiendo de cerca la crisis europea y donde había vaticinado la salida de Grecia de la Eurozona. Dice que en 1931, en pleno proceso de recuperación después del crack de 1929, la debacle empezó con una crisis bancaria en un pequeño país europeo: Austria. Austria trató de intervenir con un rescate bancario, pero al dispararse el costo del rescate, se dudaba de la solvencia del Gobierno. Los problemas de Austria no tenían que haber tenido repercusiones importantes en la economía mundial, pero, en la práctica, generaron un pánico que se extendió por todo el mundo. National - Bob Cohn - 21 Charts That Explain American Values Today. Americans say they are more tolerant and open-minded than their parents. Among the issues that rate more morally acceptable today than a decade ago: homosexuality, human cloning, pre-marital sex, and having a child out of wedlock.

At the same time, half believe the economic system is unfair to middle- and working-class Americans, and only 17 percent believe Wall Street executives share fundamental American values. In all, two-thirds think the country is heading in the wrong direction, 69 percent believe the country's values have deteriorated since the 1970s, and nearly half say values will further weaken over the next 10 years. Such are the highlights of The Atlantic/Aspen Institute American Values Survey.

Two-thirds of those surveyed say the country is heading in the wrong direction ... ... 7 in 10 say people's values have been getting worse in America ... ... and nearly half expect American values to weaken over the next decade.

The FBI yesterday announced it has secured an indictment against Faruq Khalil Muhammad ‘Isa, a 38-year-old citizen of Iraq currently in Canada, from which the U.S. is seeking his extradition. The headline on the FBI’s Press Release tells the basic story: “Alleged Terrorist Indicted in New York for the Murder of Five American Soldiers.”

The criminal complaint previously filed under seal provides the details: ‘Isa is charged with “providing material support to a terrorist conspiracy” because he allegedly supported a 2008 attack on a U.S. military base in Mosul that killed 5 American soldiers. In other words, if the U.S. invades and occupies your country, and you respond by fighting back against the invading army — the ultimate definition of a “military, not civilian target” — then you are a . . . Terrorist. Here is how the complaint, in the first paragraph, summarizes the Terrorism charge against ‘Isa: By “outside of the United States,” the Government means: inside Iraq, ‘Isa’s country.
