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 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 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.
