2012 and the euro

rather had it been 2012 and people, but what attention would that draw, rather the kind of thing to schedule for the summer or a special occasion.

in principle i am a proponent of unified monetary systems. have been that, so much so that i would not feel ashamed to say for the euro you have me to blame, i guess it means my opinion matters.

the reason for that is given transparance the more simple and less diverse administrative functions like money are organised the less it costs, and more important, the less opportunity for fraude there is. especially on macrofinancial scales.

that is given transparance.

however this transparance that would basically disallow immense personal profits, to the benefit of a future, a future climate, a future food production, and a future 'society' in a way to the benefit of us all and all our children is not yet there.

as such the euro is an abusive toy in the hands of the elite that get their power and wealth from such macro'economical' and macrofinancial abuse.

people like a republican in the states that says, we have to have the rich pay even less, wich would mean someone earning a million would get about 250k more,

some people like the todays gossip from london, i dont even know what the pr office (really they "call" financial rating buro ), the instrument of the banks name. wich means i hardly ever heard of it before, and that in turn tells us (me at least) it is a pr stunt,

it said euronations needed to be 'downgraded', ok no news there , it is what the pr of the rich says, but why exactly? oh the overall problems everywhere (usias problems that),

and 'the high labour cost'.

well for us common people we can be pretty simple about it.

what we want is a juster world, a cleaner , not a doomed, and a pleasant to live in.

that means , no greater gaps between rich and poor, not making more poor.

it used to be when people would start working in there early 20s rather quickly they build up a decent wage. not anymore, people go untill their 30s under stressfull requirements and laborous manipulations to keep them poor.

it did never really help, because the story has been the same all these decades

the rich want more, wich they tell by shouting less tax and cheaper labour.

if we get our act together we learn to recognise this standard assortment of excuses to inflict damage on society as a whole and the majority of people in general.

as soon as romeny shouts: less tax for the rich, you know where he is at.

he wants to destroy us and the environment for money.

soon as an institute says that, you can also be sure the people there are rich, and will be even more priviliged even more in a position of abuse, if the other get poorer.

so actually what you hear for 'news', it's only propaganda.

the masses of people that are the victim, probably know well they can also not trust tehirselves,

i can't really trust them, try crossing a street, people tend to be nice in many ways, but on the road, or in the going of the ways of society, they can't really.

still, if we, the masses of disadvantaged, the poor, disabled, the labourers, even the poorer midclass, don't get our act together nothing is going to work.

it will keep on becoming a worse police state.
more of our public space and institutions will be scavenged,
the differences will only grow,
poverty will become really painfull in large parts of the world,
pollution will be incredible,
and the earth will rather sooner than later have to give up the struggle to have us survive.

and all that, we can change, through transparance .. we could.
the other thing we need is actually called trust.

makes reason doesnt it, don't we think of trust when we think of why we cannot easily be friendly with another? like on the street or somewhere else?

that trust is in simple things for the rest,

less tax for the rich is bad.
trust in companys and corporations is dumb, they are for the rich
state is (could be(1)) good , government can be bad, police is usually mediocre, but state itself, tax, roads, insurances, housing, water. electricity, all these together things, are ok or good

it depends what you do with it, but it is good for the majority of us. that is why taxes are good.
small taxes for the small, big for the big. good!

smaller wages is bad.
its allways bad, richer is more powerfull rich.

smaller wages for labourers is a bad tool and it means to hate your fellows.
never believe anyone that calls for smaller wages for the labourer
its simple but it works.

smaller wages for the rich is good. good for us, and very good for planet earth, we can do something usefull with the money.

thats all really,
bout the euro.

to survive it, the mass will have to learn to stick together. one way would be through real transparance, wheres the money, whats the money, wheres it go, all of it. privacy is a pr tool of thr rich and an utter farce. because the good part of it is so dear that we(the masses) defend the bad idea that was made out of it.

wonder.. if this text will be rewritten by self ..
wonders..

glad to be of service

(1) obviously state can also be bad, as an anarchist i would not want to call it 'state' when we get it working. it is mere proffesional organisation. also the association with authority is to strong, the state should in fact not be an authorical one but rather like a cooperative network, otoh as long as we stick to monetary systems , might as well keep a tax based public institutions and probably in a way, people are really to dumb in general to have a system working without a 'state' riot of here. since a huge part of the problem is in the ways we are made to mistrust one another and get brainwashed with endless rubbish from all kind of rich people that want to tell they or people like them are great, or so, sometimes it escapes me, what would they really have to tell, such empty pr. nobody is perfectly happy, not a poor, not a surgeon, not a millionaire.
no amount of money can change all of that. egoism is typically not a very constructive habit for the rest of the people, that is very wrong with todays values in capitalism.
rather simply cause and effect. capitalism is bad.

2012 and syrian powersharing everywhere

the history of syria is a troubled one. the old assad really had a bad name. as a baath socialist, and in the western view a dictator that did no better then the other muslim despots.

now the western views are very biased. many people in the west suffer poverty and injustice of many kinds. if you forget about the police state saddam took better care for his people.

yet the baathphilosophy and saddams own taste of power required strict ruling of the unruly sects.

a dogma, to go forward in the development of the arab culture. forward in modernisation and technology. and to work against narrowmindedness, born from ignorance, lack of education and colonialist manipulation, and against intolerance.

in name.. saddam killed 170000 ppl. then came in usia and the coalition of the killing, with already 100000s children dead through the sanctions and killed millions.

theres 6 million widows now in irak that were no widow before.

so what does syria want?

young assad did better than his dad. i am not sure, but so is my impression. overall level of wealth, or so you want consumption rose significantly, and despite contrary events in the region, lebanons invasion, the continuing hassle over israel, the muslim government of turkey, and the invasion of irak amongst things, that gave the syrian regime not allways the room it needed to struggle for that advance and progression.

nevertheless the regime has a rather bad name outside syria, and reknownedly also in syria.
perhaps not with everyone, but with many people. that is no news. i do not remember much of homs 1982, but the events were not allways pretty,

we may assume assad and his sympathisers , followers or the ones that just don't think the other party will be an advancement in fact feel rather desperate, for the first time in decades syria is running a bit and a major part of the populace rises, dreaming on the one hand of elementary freedoms, and on the other hand probably of a material advantage, an improvement of their position, in incomes, positions, lobbying, amd perhaps weirder things, sharia to force women to do work, and clergymen to explain how the rich do everything just fine.

not the most pleasant sight. as in libya there is every reason to worry about killings, vengeance and ongoing disagreement in the nation.

if people don't get together and find a decent way out it may become a biggest mess, in as far as we get informed about what syrians think (my opinion the whole approach i get from 'our' media is very onesided) it is obvious there is against, and "not with against."

i don't like compromise and i do not suggest it, i prefer to shape a workable situation.

with the protests supported by the traditional anti-social nations, usia, uk, europe and other capitalist 1% nations, ofcourse the capitalist vultures and bloodsuckers will be ready to rob the syrians. rob them of equality and in the long term consience, dignity. blast them with garbage adds. that make it acceptable an environmentally friendly person get gassed, almost driven over, exploited by high fees for public transport and registered with every step, and next fined.

after all you had been no danger to anyone.

like in syria immediatly a bank or something like it, will pop up and outsource the existing system. worse when foreign powers needed to play more of a role(sanctions). starving children is something capitalists think deserves a reward,

european common people nor usians can give the syrian people any guarantee it would not be worse.

simply because it probably would be worse. it is worse here, and it is getting only worse, for decades now.

whatever system syrians long for, it should be said it is not the capitalist wests system of expendable slaves and cheap labour. not the approach of maximal support for the rich and minimal options for the poor. not the mentality that allows the dutch parliament to declare a law to leave ppl dying in front of haospital is humane.

really it would be no help. they must find their own way out.

just like every sitting clique, baath and assad has the spoils. they do not want to loose any, but the consequence is allways they need and will. otoh if the impartido, the rebellion just goes for a single object, their succes, they will not succeed in a peacefull change at a great speed, and probably they will loose syria as they know it theirselves as well.

think of it like 20 years back in time. even if you win that 20-40% of suria 'rather has assad', and in fact 'rather has baath', no, in democratical terms there need not be a problem,

the real problem is the capitalist terms, i strongly suspect that the actual guarantee the regime seeks, and actually no other requests are ethic, 'permissible (dont know how to say it that word is a bit strong)'.

so these are requests for a public healthcare, a carefull approach with fuel consumption, federal say in landuse, democratical institutions throughout, educational and womens rights.

social and humanitarian guarantees, that if the opposition is not ready to meet show her as a tool,
not a tool of qatar, or israel or usia or uk and europe , not without some remarks,
'
it would be a tool of a small clique in syria that hopes to be the new winner of the spoils of war and power. (think "millionaire(its never theirs" refugees "reclaiming their palaces and servants ('property'))

before that i beg everyone to reconsider and find a way out that will leave everyone in dignity,
not talking the imams and presidents, just all the people that are secular, sunni or christian, allawite and maybe even kurd that don't feel safe by a shia renaisance and the shia.

it is a bit unreasonable to ask perhaps, in the light of the problems in irak, and the somewhat scary polarity in iran, unreasonable, yet realist,

if you don't prevail it, prevent it, step ahead of this blues, things will be worse.

i hope i have been clear and negotiations can start on this basis, that we can forfill the request for assad to stand down, and the request from the regime and its many believers(!)(,we have those everywhere), to set out reasonable, secular, internationally recognised principles of equality and human rights, to request a guarantee of a social policy that will not sell out the not to plentyfull richess and resource of syria, not 'privateer on the masses', will not start a new terror or a war for it, that will not lock 10000s up, like in irak or afghanistan, and that also will get done with repression.

if need be to the cost of a few years of consumption growth, you can survive without allways growing fatter,

gl.
i hope i will proudly look back at what i write, and everyone in syria with me can be proud,

better late than never (1)

2012 and the spirit of a dead friend

since i heard the news yesterday i have not really been alone. that should explain the 'friend' and it also tells the man/boy/person, who died had a brain and a mind not only occupied with himself, but with social and psychological, or so you want philosophical topics as well. (1)

just that bit closer and he would much be missed by me.


since i was a small kid i brought the revolutionairy message, alltho it lasted almost a full 20 years before i defined myself as sth. else but anti-political, a-political.

anarchist.

sometimes it is hard for me to understand the majority of people, not hard in the sense of 'what are they doing' (well not only;)..

in the sense of "why are not they doing it".

in my errant, in that i erred. my idea was people dont understand, people seem not to have the capacity to draw the lines, appear not to have the memory to connect the dots, even "my" people will never change. seemed not to "do about it".

but it was not true. people that did explicitly not allways understood what i was on about, lived their lives with nevertheless a defiant and tenacious effort to change the injustice, to emancipate the stigmatised, in all those shady and mingled areas where we still have some autonomy, where often a way of life was turned into a way of crime, by destroying rights, and the purpose of the law, by promoting fascism and superficiality.

already for some years now i understand how much i was wrong. that many people i met and spoke with, sometimes trusted, gave their everything for that ideal of a world that is rational and just.

and died.

to many died.

last year the most horrible death was the suicide of a young girl, a pretty , funny and sometimes disturbingly distraught girl, i am fortunate not to know any better then i did, because it would have depressed me for more then the few days it did.

we had one long conversation once, and when the next day we acidently met she sort of thought it was my purpose, so i actually didn't try in the least to meet again. to my late regret.

what i learned of it is that if ever anyone is open to a serious and deep exchange next time i will be very cautious before loosely letting go and setting aside worry.

alltho really i am sure it has little to do with her emotional situation or psychological well being when she died months later.
suicided, before a train.

when it had happened i voiced my disgust with a system of what is called ' income-coaching'

it means people are put without an income and it all goes to people getting a bolus per person defrauded out of the circumstances for life, and an extra income from what those would been due.

actually another friend under that circumstance died mysteriously, he was cremated before we even knew, we don't even know if he was cremated in situ, in the institution they put him in after driving him mad with destitution, like happens to so many under the circumstance(2) (one more went to that institution that year, and one person got a heroine addiction) but ofcourse that is the tip of the iceberg, i don't know everyone nor everyone's circumstances.

yet now another friend died. supposedly he died on an overdose of injected ghb.

weird as it may seem, i never heard before people (or he) injected that, and even feel a bit distrustfull about the whole thing, it is worth some observations.

financially i think he was well off. alltho this money was in the hands of other people far away, and i did not at all trust them to return plenty of it or the fruits of it to him, i said that to him, and perhaps shouldn't have.

he was quitte sick once before and got a preferential treatment compared to all other people, but one (who also gets a preferential treatment(3)) i know, in the same institution the other one died that was cremated before we knew he'd died.

now that may seem a bit weird, but it is the only such institution here and he surely had a problem when they put him in.

so i dont want to say his death is an impossibillity, what we know of it, only...

hadn't the police and authoritys acted up in other ways, that served a capitalist, absolutist and political target, more or less evicting our collective space, the place we met, talked, joked, ate, shared food and drinks, and actually also sometimes 'drugs' (4),

the place would have been still open for that, we would have still talked, i could have known if he was bad, perhaps visited if he was sick.

so it's a strange thing, but political prosecution and death in netherlands usually coincide when i know the people that die. (5)

2012 and the political spirit of a dead friend.





(1) and science, he was a rather brilliant researcher with enough fantasy to mean a thing

(2) of 'income coaching'

(3) and a more pleasant kind of preferential then this second person. the reason i believed his story about moneys in the first place)

(4) allthough ghb has no appeal for me

(5) under say 65

2012 and more

yeah what 2012 and action, 2012 and direct action, 2012 and culture, 2012 and drugs, 2012 and crime, 2012 and each of the industrys, 2012 and capitalist illusions, 2012 and climate catastrophe, 2012 and emancipation, 2012 and xenophobism, 2012 and disarmament, 2012 and hereditary despots, 2012 and guided democracys, 2012 and boko haram?

really don't know where to start.

boko haram?

seems like a usefull topic. jonathan opened up for negotiations. now that is reason for carefullness.

nigeria is a us client, because of the oil. the typical thing would be to blame islamism. up in the north, in the maghreb there are a few desolate islamic desert tribes, that once persisted on trading stufss trhough and thro said magreb, but these days have difficulty paying their satelite internetties and wider universitary tutelage from the incomes.

so thats easy, blame the difference, tell people those are insane fanaticals, kill a couple of people with bombs or other means, and.. the mullahs are to blame.

wich mullahs is a second, in this case it would be the sunnite ones that give the shia minoritys such a hard time. you would say there we have iran riot in the middle, an ideal partner..

shiism is a bit boko haram ofcourse, i don't quite get the peculiars but it has ado with the old fashioned rites and refering of several uncles of prophets who are not really, or perhaps it just doesn't matter, as important as uncles of prophets happen to be sometimes, for other mullahs.

so it may be a point, who is the prophet so to say, but it won't solve a thing.

nigeria is a staled faith, is the problem. it used to be you send out a white bishop every once and a while, to enjoy theirselves with the little sizzies, that would keep half of the people happy.

then you gave 'm batons, and teargas and the oil would continue flowing. but not anymore, second hand cars and cheap fuel have had the nigerian economy booming, the former christians are now car owners. ofcourse that diabolic tool spoiled their saintly minds, and like everywhere we didnt have to wait for the airbag for them to become extremely dangerous.

all of nigeria meanwhile went with the flow, more and more modern, bigger and bigger cars, higher and higher rises, and more and more police. it got quite messy with not enough roads even to accomodate all the police. roadblocks sprung up every remote location, and the newly employed security industry went loose with all the illuster methoods of the african continent.

send your daughter to islam school on saterday? forget it, at the second roadblock she would be broke and have to turn around in the hopes at getting at least back home again without another payment.

saterdays were good days for the industry in nigeria. not on sundays, on sundays the soldiers and police hold to their bases, so that every young boy can visit the sunday school.

it doesnt happen there in the north, but that is only because they are no christians.

there is not a lot they can learn without getting a problem, security industry? an obvious no.
petrochemical industry? well no.. it obviously destroys nigeria, no future there, burocratical education? well no, they are only good to send out the security industry, so there is nothing to learn either. finances? no need to ask. farming? impossible.

nothing to learn. all you can learn is doing so much damage, it is just better if people don't get into the kind of bussiness.

so.. you have to be a bit carefull when negotiating. what is it really about?

is it about keeping northern nigeria an empty space? distribution of wealth? positions? all of it?

about the police state and the neccesary poor to maintain one? about institutes buying up the land? about that couscous from a magnetron tastes way worse than from a woodstove?

we need to know it all.

updated, alltho i do not agree to all what was said, i was told that the wish to live on in the traditional way is very much behind most unrest in africa. that 'traditional ways' means ways of sustenance, way of life and i assume the cultural patterns to go with it.
complicated, so it is really about magnetron or woodstove, not wanting to do with big bussiness meaning it is good if women carry water for many hours a day etc., etc.

the obvious conclusion would be that sustenace and to live a (quasi) natural life need to be considered, you would say that is not hard to meet. but apparently the opposite is true. it gets easier to understand (i figure) if you look for example at african (or in similar poor nations) metropoles.
eg. great poverty and lack of opportunity promise no great results of modernising society.

i was also told most african struggles are fought by people not really a voluntary part of the forces (i only accepted that after concerning social pressure, 'control'). a personal sidenote there: if you leave a modern army to stop being a murderer you also get courtmartial, it is not surprising militias need to claim similar absolute loyalty then.

2012 transparancy or nothing

for some reason the word "transparancy" has not yet become completely obfuscated.(intransparanted)

it is coming, attempts to do the turnaround trick have already been succesfully promoted,
quite possible in laws, in legislature,

ofcourse it happens on that line as well as in shimmery financial promotions, ofcourse that is "organised", and ofcourse it is mediawise (and criminal as so surpisingly often with the legislature's acceptance of malversation, but it is not yet criminal, people go unpunished for the kind of 'product' for a 'market'.) selling lies, spreading lies, malversations, once under a corporate (lets put it shortly: financial) guise they are a product.

that is not so with truth. truth is a "secret", and can be censored.
because people tell truth and corporations want to lie

(as thus instituted by those 'judges' of no value at all).

it is really important we all realise how little avail the law will be with a struggle for justice,

it is an intrinsically complicit and extravagant tool of corporatism,

with only one but, just like their friends with the pretty jobs, that want to foul, control, devastate, keep the people poor for cheap labouring, and probably often the fun to see them suffer,

at least humiliation is the receipe for me at courts,

they are people. they do it for theirselves.

they believe in their outrageous systems of repression and degradation, control and lie,
manipulation and secret, because it benefits them. they are well off, with their cosy friends high up, who can lie and cheat and pollute and steal and resist taxes, falsify any paper, publish anything contrary to facts, steal the fruit of people's minds, have their servants,

their yes and sir etc. sayers.

just people. horrible awfull people, the only group in society of wich you can say, exactly the past 30 or so, years once again : "they did this".

wars? allowed by law. pollution? allowed by law. taking poor people's bread? allowed by law.
promoting more pollution? allowed by law. promoting stupiditys as benefit is only in production?
allowed by law.

sanctified actually. prepared.. again and again

so. perhaps, you would like to know what they know about you?

how about we would know all they know of us?

secret.. you are not allowed to know (well from now on you probably are) that the supermarket scans your faces, films your every step. that actually you are filmed a huge part of the day.
that your medical file is there, that your secret services files will never be released to you, no matter what you or they pretend, every incident with police, and for the older for example the school, for younger people it is ofcourse a bit more.

that besides they probably have all the phonenumbers you ever called, especially since 1996.
if anything you say is interesting in any way, they have it. if you speak openly about yourself they'd keep it.

that is because nowadays most of it can be checked by computers. before that it was of not as much value.
every email you send, every tax you payed, or didn't pay, every 50 , 100 or much more they stole from you (dare to doubt that tho), all that.

every time you have been rapported about, school or medical, psychological or social, by police or undercover , and quite a few more, is or could very well be there. and probably so is most of what you ever said in a public building. well unless you really have nothing of interest to tell.

nothing against war, nothing against poverty, nothing against injustice, nothing about the rich, nothing about a whole lot of things, and explosives.

i dont know how they deal with weapons, i suppose they don't go by phone.

in fact it has been confirmed every email or post you make is saved and checked. every stupid act you do on internet, and every keystroke and it's specific rhytms or rhymes, in windhoos proper. and thus in apple(would otherways be illegal in usia), and go figure available under linux(2).

next they register everything you buy or pay for, (and obviously whatever they can you don't)
and all of them engage in making deceiting phonecalls from illegal lists, probably police compiled hacks that standard land in your mailbox, under the most proper of guises) ;)

and every other method.

wich is one reason they want to force more passes on us. pas for this, that and more and more and more

the best they like it if you put invisible cash in them. invisible cash wooow.
(3)

that system's judges will clique against any change, massively.

now, talking about transparance, really we could have so much more of it.




(2) or perhaps don't. it's networks after all.
(3) bank accounts for example are just not at all safe against the interference of services in any way.

2012 solidarity or nothing

earth's endurance is limited and people are just vulnerable, whole nations are at steak, and the whole lot of the world is getting toasted radioactively yet by the war industrys.

blind, egotist, reactionairy, sociopath predators, popularly guised for employers, for reasons hard to understand (but psychologically perversely simple), extract great tolls of habitation, and inhabitants alike , for that clueless 'profit' and that mindless 'greatness'.

that is just one such industry. there is a security complex (split people in proprietary's soldier ants and prisonslaves).
the pharmaceutic: it is likewise closer to the military industrial complex that it's ruthlessly disgarding a future and medical consequence, the dead road they are walking is like in the war industry, not that unclear from within.

relatedly there is the biotechnologic industrial complex. that one is perhaps not yet an industry of it's own but an accumulation of abuses by the other branches of industry, a complex of it's own but only in the making.

there is the nuclear industry (one utterly hellbound and catastrophal beyond description)

the oil industry (related enough to the petrochemical industry to perhaps be better considered only one, but also in action to contain concurring markets , and overtake energy related pollutionism in the other industrys.)

there is an attempt at water monopolisation going, with the drinks and food industry involving.

railroads are being neglected, now owned by the other industrys, phones and internet became nominally corrupt in the hands of 'private property' (theft).

and the housing rip finally burst. exposing once more the greedy credits that form the vampiric fundament of the 'financial industry'.

all of those are served by an educational erosion that is also corporate, and a media industry that is a full 100% ready and set to lie, and influence everything from the events to the subconscious.

the traditional complaint, that the burocratic industry and legislature is the responsible and greatest infiltrator and cheater, the class-justice, is phenomenal in the not anymore public transports, if there is a reason to fly, we could fly equal. if there is a reason to train, it is to pay the empty 1st classes. my whole life long.

it is not that *i* did not notice.

2012 apocalypse now.

jay this was a great celebration. i love the sound of explosions, and the orchestration of our new years party was fascinating and creative. all through the evening , here and there, now and then, big bangs started a new universe, made me think of all these poor kids to lay wake for hours after been put to bed to early.

the mood was very positive.. i thought: well now we scared away the evil spirits..., repeatedly.

the fireworks that regularly went of that tad to early to make it an interesting evening, instead of an interesting and expensive ten minutes, made it almost fairy tale like.

around 12 fireworks of every kind and color sprung up, and from my viewpoint, everything was painted in colorfull lights of many kinds.

still a waste of money, but amazing how it was as if all the people together turned our everyday reality into a film, a rather moody one, of joy, future and togetherness.

it made me wonder so much if other people (so, forgive the curse, other nations) also managed to achieve this effect. this has nothing to do much with my usual topics, yet i really liked it a lot.
