2008 year of the censors

Don't be surprised. It's the general trend. So 2008 will be a more censored year then the year before. election haze. We will be lured by election hazes more then ever, the capitalist system, the corporates are trying to sell campaigns for democracy. only strong action by the populaces offers a chance on somewhat representative "results" tho. People are very easy to believe.

A recent example is the "speedboat incident" another insignificant if even real incident that will take a prominent place in wikipedia-en.(most probably)
for one thing the us navy said it had video.. but released scenes only later.
That beside i have a slight suspicion boats are around there all the time, and this time may have thrown sigaret buds in the water?

It's just an example how hardly noteworthy and possibly framed incidents, the viddeo is not very convincing, are abused to influence one of these supposedly 'significant' 'democratic' elections. If you keep an eye open in the current trend of stressing elections in the media and reward disproved results 'incidents' will be more often witnessed. Usually it is the timing that tells the character of the incident.

For example: the incident in pakistan today. Why was it timed there? was the man exploding before the lawyers arrived purposedly?? yes. most probably, if the current version is true (he didn't crash a motorbike in a truck, and he was not on foot),
but arrived on motorbike (largely undamaged) , and ran into a crowd of policeman,
he deliberately targetted the police, or perhaps the cops. However the timing then suggest an alliance with the gathering of lawyers. Not improbable, the anti- musharaf lawyers do tend to democracy perhaps, but tend to be the ones with the conservative aproach, logically speaking, from our point of view, because much of the legal dispute is focussed around the implementation of sharia, or it's veritability contrary to the juridical system.(iafaik)
there is the usual natural alliance of this 'taliban' with the more libertarian forces ofcourse, because both are repressed. However i have not discovered a party in pakistan politics intend on serving the populace (as opposed to eg. their purses), or it must be musharafs. So i kind of exclude the really progressive forces in pkaistan of teh violence. (perhaps not justified, pronouncedly so if the pakistan army itself would be known inside pakistan to use means equaly awfull, (practically , the same). If all 3 recent attacks would be framed by musharaf he certainly hates the cops. Not the most fearsome aspect a dictator could have.

A enough about it.. i could tell more but this is about 2008, not about 8-01-2008
First time i got the numbers riot the first time in the year i think. Poverty got its needs. uhm, part of the nr's.

Economy of this reality depends on cooperation. There have been and , most probably are to be, rather large disasters. Their results we could use to set up something like a patchwork disaster service. I fear they will not be without work in a decade.
Perhaps its a nice replacement for all these armys.

Disasters tend to be survivable, recent floods not only in mid america have prooven that with support many people can be saved from physical harm. It is a nice precursor to ecological landuse that these people need to be provided and resettled.

One thing we may still have to account for is droughts. However both the need for reforestation and the need for water can easily be solved through ecological
planologics. They would have been solved if we had started this worldwide 30 years before.

Forestfires will be inevitable, as a result everywhere were dry circumstances occur uggly lanes through the areas must be realised wich is practical with woodcut but does not at all relate to the corporate models of landuse..

Generally crops can be climate independend. Certain crops, and certain varietys of crops stand a climate, eg. the dutch, better. that besides some stand rain better and some drought, by producing a part of the food along these lines the world could build up much needed resources relatively cheaply and at the least ecological expense. It is also a better guarantee to misfortune. If i understand correctly everywhere on the planet foodprices have been on the rise.

Birth reduction. At least under circumstances of war the arguments are pretty simple.
An adult relation with other nations means that you have a productive birth-control
program.(joke),

Stopping clichees. There are to many evident clichee, even i am to blame, i try not to be clichee wich is why i know. People urgently need to stop talking of other people as tribes , religions, etc.political terms are the only really acceptable ones
for an adult discussion of politics. (i predict billions will fale miserably in this aspect this year;)That means you can say capitalist, socialist, or whatever you want, african unionist, unionist soberly, libertarian or whatever. But if you take a standing point like a kapitalist pig would somebody may call you a kapitalist pig.

Thats not a clichee (else we'd be all f**king rich). anyway..

other great events for 2008. development. Now that slowly the uselessness of the production oriented economy dews in, development on itself is not the hardest point anymore. it became a matter of conscience. One might say 'awareness'. Environmental awareness basically. There is an environment where we can provide everyone with food , education and entertainment. But the lower the overall measure of luxury, the more chance we can afford it.

political turmoil. For the left wing it is important to realise that the mass, the general people, the ones that find hardship maintaining their existence, are not so much in a position to protest over remote wars anymore. The luxury is already gone.
We don't protest over vietnam anymore or a ridiculous wikipedia that claims kongo was a deadlier event. 15 years ago, i think, i told you that also the usual people would become very marginalised, and it is pretty much what has happened.
