In the elections, terrorists and other stories ... Manuela
Trasobares Haro
In recent years I have been active in politics as a councilor exercising my town and being a candidate in the last general election. I also used to study in depth the pages of twentieth century history that the officers tried to hide. This has shown me how absurd it is trying to change a state whose economic and political roots are rotting.

Neither justice nor revenge, but crime Pep Castelló
kills Empire who should be no more purpose than to achieve their goals.
the militarily most powerful country in the world is governed, both politically and economically, by criminals of the worst sort.

Open Letter to Barack Obama: the Nobel laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel
President of the United States Dear Barack
When addressing this letter I do fraternal and simultaneously to express concern and indignation to see how sown death and destruction in several countries, in the name of "freedom and democracy", two words and empty of content prostitutes, ends justifying the murder and is celebrated as if it were a sporting event.
Outrage over the attitude of sections of the population of the U.S., European heads of state and other countries that came to support the murder of Ben Laden, ordered by your government and complacency on behalf of an alleged justice
sought not arrested and tried for crimes allegedly committed, resulting in greater doubt, the objective was to kill him.
The dead do not talk and fear of the executed who could say things not suitable for the U.S., was the murder and ensure that "dead dog rabies is over, regardless of who do nothing but increase it.

Lies and the unknowns in the death of Bin Laden Fidel Castro Ruz
The men who executed Bin Laden did not act on their own, following orders from the U.S. Government. Had been carefully selected and trained for special missions. It is known that the U.S. president can even communicate with a soldier in combat.
Hours after performing the action in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad, the headquarters of the most prestigious military academy in the country and major combat units, the White House offered to world opinion carefully crafted version of the death of the head of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.
Obviously, the world's attention and the international press focused on the subject, displacing other news from the public sphere.

has not been done justice, but vengeance Leonardo Boff
would need to be an enemy of himself and against the minimum humanitarian values \u200b\u200bto pass the terrible crime of terrorism of Al Qaeda's September 11, 2001 in New York . But it is wholly unacceptable that a state, the world's most powerful military in the field to response to terrorism has transformed himself into a terrorist state. Bush did just that, limiting democracy and suspending the unconditional validity of certain rights, which were the pride of the country. He did more: he directed two wars against Afghanistan and Iraq, which devastated one of the oldest cultures of humanity, which has killed more than hundred thousand people and has been more than a million displaced.

oppressors and Hate Castelló
Pep came the first of May, historical date for the working class, but ignored by most who live on one salary. An ignorance that gives victory to those who oppress the oppressor succeeds only because when the oppressed accepts without resisting oppression. Nothing
now expect organizations close to earthly powers, whether governments, unions or religious organizations. Today as yesterday the fight is still the bottom up. Nobody is in favor of the above can be said to the people. Conversely, whoever you are faced with the one above, whatever their ideology, should be taken as an ally.

oppressed Antonio Gramsci
hate the indifferent. I think that living means taking sides. Who really lives can not fail to be a citizen and partisan. Indifference and apathy are parasitism, are knavery, not life. Why I hate the indifferent.
Indifference is the dead weight of history. Indifference operates powerfully in the story. Opera passive, but active. It is the fate, that which you can not tell. Twist programs, and ruin the best-conceived plans. Disrupting is the raw material of intelligence. Whatever happens, the evil that has befallen all happens because the mass of men abdicating their will, allows the passage of legislation that will repeal only revolt, consent to the accession to power of men, who get only a mutiny then overthrow. The mass ignores carelessness, and then it seems inevitable thing that everything and everyone runs over, to which consents, as well as the dissenter, who knew, just as the did not know, to assets, as well as the indifferent. Some whine mercifully other obscenely blaspheme, but no or very few people wonder: if he tried to assert my will, would have happened what happened?

Mourning indifferent between life and death Leonardo Boff
In recent times there has been growing collective consciousness that is engaging in a real duel between the mechanisms natural artificial life and death mechanisms triggered by our system of living, producing, consuming and treat waste. The first victims of this war are human beings themselves. Much of living with inadequate livelihoods and super favelizados its workforce. What lurks there suffering, frustration and humiliation is unspeakable. These are times of new barbarism, denounced by many global thinkers, as recently Tsvetan Todorov in his book "Fear of Barbarians" (2008). These realities that really count because they make us human, or cruel, are not included in the calculations of the benefits of any company and are not considered in the GDP of the countries except Bhutan, which established the National Happiness Index of its people. The other victims are all ecosystems, biodiversity and the Earth as a whole.

capitalism and class struggle James Petras The class struggle is an activity that is being waged in two ways: while workers and other exploited class struggle from below, the ruling classes and States engage their class struggle from above to increase their profits, productivity and power. stuck in the imperial countries "developed", the state has spent to download the full cost of the "recovery" on the backs of workers and public employees based on cut jobs, salaries and social benefits, while the bankers and business elites get richer.

Current Challenge Aldo Etchegoyen
The Greek language has two words to talk about time, chronos and kairos. Cronos is the time in minutes, hours away is the clock. Kairos is time and space of life, time planting or harvesting.
undoubtedly live in our country the "kairos" Native Peoples, valuable time when these communities have decided to renew their long struggle for land rights, their culture, their language and way of life.
thought occurs to me that this fight against hand we are also living the "kairos" of soybean and soybean when the border moves without limits and large landowners need more and more land to earn more and more money. Another curious thing
and significant is the fact that we are also in the "kairos" the greed of powerful mining companies, companies of oil or real estate move on native lands. How to call this phenomenon? "Prey of the powerful? "Pillage" legal "?
