this page, we solidarity with all the Libyan people for the events that are happening in their territory.
European states have sought for some excuse to intervene riots in that state because of its oil wealth .
regret not defend with the same momentum, Bahrainis, of pakistan, and other dictatorships that kill silently as he has been to Libya.
Violence begets violence, revolt in Egypt was peaceful, all dictators massacring their people, bomb and kill innocent stoop to do what he does and Gaddafi bomb, course is not the solution.
Europe should have used economic pressure, Europe but as we are seeing there, the UN either.
Germany alone has shown wisdom, perhaps because they do not play anything else, would have avoided this season.
We are facing not only the dictatorship capital but an economic dictatorship where human rights do not paint anything. buy the information is lying in order to get economic and strategic objectives.
Since Europe is supporting one side of a civil war aimed at dividing the country and ensure the supply of oil, and this is sold as humanitarian aid.
We can not agree to overthrow a dictatorship with violence. And from my personal point of view can not support these actions.
As a picture is worth a thousand words, attached Libyan exports to the comparéis with those involved in this war.
There are countries where oil revenues will allow citizens a basic income per capita more than double average English income. All that money is in Western banks on behalf of dictators. We can not support dictatorships that massacred his people, if we should not be ethical to accept this money, or sell weapons to these characters. But we put employment and our concern for human rights and that is the problem.
'll leave you with some reflections of a Nobel Peace Prize
Pérez Esquivel: "What interests the U.S., Britain and France is to take the oil"
The Nobel Peace Prize, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, reflected this morning of the attack allied forces engaged in Libya. Said it was an "unnecessary war," lamented that the UN is subject to the five big powers "to do what they want and not what" should "and pointed to Barack Obama for failing to comply with any of his campaign promises.
declraciones program in "Two types bold" in LT8, afitmó: "When you do a closer reading, is that what interests the United States, Britain and France is to take over oil resources. So have done in Iraq. I've been 12 days and saw the disaster and death that have caused these countries haras of an alleged democratization. "
"One wonders how a person like Kaddhafi has been in government for 42 years," he added. It is clear that only he could do because these countries were partners. Currently there are more interested in, then look to build on it. " And ventured
that the next war will be against Iran "and for the same purpose: to control oil resources in that country. "Unfortunately the media hide the truth of what is happening and give us a false picture of the situation in the Middle East, so what happens in Libya as what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Esquivel noted that the arguments put forward by the powers to go to the Middle East, are all lies. And he said directly to the president of the United States to disengage from the promises made to stop war and human rights violation. "Unfortunately this person was expected other conduct, but one comporende one thing is to get the government and another to power. "
In this regard, said Obama's role is even more questionable for being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 "for his vision of a world without weapons." "When Obama gave what I sent him a letter. I said, was a surprise to everyone that have given you the peace prize, so now you have it you must be consistent from what the peace prize and policies to implement. Of those promises did not meet any: ending the war in Afghanistan, close the Guantanamo prison, and try to find a solution for peace in the Middle East and none of that happened, things have worsened. "
"The facts are showing. If at all this time that the government was unable to advance in one of these campaign promises we have the situation in the world. We will have to keep working and trying to avoid further damage," said .
also questioned the actions of United Nations Organization (UNO). "The other important note is that under pressure the United Nations sought to support this invasion, is an organization that has lost all credibility, has lost his way because he has to preserve peace and not to promote war and unfortunately we are about United Nations under the five major powers who do they want and not what they owe. "
In 1980 he received the Nobel Peace Prize for his commitment to defending human rights in Latin America.
As
D. Ramiro Pinto says on its website:
Why the attack?. You can not make it by repression, because these conditions occur in Yemen, Syria, Israel, the Saharawi people. We see that if an arms embargo on Libyan state can not reach this country, all the same to buy them or not. And l or have done is first lien accounts Libyan state and the fortunes of this country. It seems that had begun to sense that the Libyan government was taking over 32,000,000,000 dollars, probably more , three U.S. banks, one English, two Italian and two French. In Spain had paralyzed large urban projects, the crisis or whatever. The tracking of this money was that was happening to other monetary systems, the ruble and the yuan. It seems that the new country is the money and not going to acquiesce. If they had, within the freedom of capital movements and the free market funds, had bankrupted not only banks, but those countries that have entered into bankruptcy.
Within the mobilization of the Arab world, who have been preparing U.S., with Israel and support in Europe for years, to ensure the stability of these countries with controlled democracies or tyrannies friends, is Israel seeks stability and disposition of oil at affordable prices. Came time to settle accounts with the Gadhafi regime for r ethene their bank accounts and seize its vast capital, pinning him to keep him out. With the intervention will be more deaths, do not care. It's going to escalate the conflict. They do not care. Only interested in money . The end justifies the means, including war. And anti-war groups have been duped, left, fixed public opinion not to war with a performance of humanitarian intervention is not true. The power of the media has created a pressure from the media capable of generating a psychological influence, if favorable to military intervention, camouflaged in the speeches of freedom, democracy and resolutions that are not even respected.
The independence of the English crown and his life as a Catholic Republic, began in 1830, with three separate alleged powers: the President, the Congress and justice. This triggered the appearance political parties, all catóicos of course, but different leaders or owners. radical Catholic parties were in the mountains and defended the religion, slavery of blacks, concertaje, tithes, first fruits and compulsory labor of the Indians. We headed landowners, military, and cures name. Each province had surnames ancestry keys or families that persist to this day. but with far fewer pretensions. On the coast, they lived in another way, the virtues come not so much the name and faith, but economic power, the economic power were mostly traders and bankers later, many of whom came from out as the Lebanese and Jews. While society of domination of the political parties, the most important is money in the company of territorial domination is the personal power, the moral dominance, is religion and the knowledge, the saber.y technology. money originated in the cities, is a value that allows the exchange of goods, a service or meet a need, a symbol mediantae accepted by the negotiating parties. For Marx was the value of work. This money gave power to cities, where merchants, people with a skill, knowledge, or power, manufacturing, construction or production, provide raw material suppliers, goods, or knowledge they otors, etc, what they believe is theirs. Thus, while the field is losing the ability to be self-sufficient, the city devel the human capacity for interdependence, complementarity, exchange. This is the origin of the policy. That is the activity of the cities that consolidates his power. The policy has been developed mainly by the use of media unidierccionales, ie that which has control of the media, be it a forum, a newspaper, radio or TV channel where this possibility, you can send messages to your audience has the capacity to respond to or for the same resources. The policy truth disappears and is replaced by propaganda. The propaganda is the way to lead the masses without using the word of god or violent intimidation as persuasive appeal, but distorting reality to make adequate conveniently through marketing and positive behavior is achieved. from the car park of the city-states like Athens, in the western hemisphere, which came to dominate the Aegean Sea and other Greek islands and territories, politics or money cult was developed not as a religion but as the opposite. In religion the power is out of the individual in the superiority of an imaginary being commonly accepted, through the influence of a cult and its priests. The territorial domination or kingdoms, the power is in a person, surrounded and with the power given by the strength of its warriors. In politics, power is given by the concentration, use and distribution of material wealth, that each person can have, but who gets to be concentrated in towns and cities within those individuals or groups to create and manage organza, such as corporations, political parties or the Mafia. Some are organized to a specific objective, political parties, in contrast to a total target, social control that exists in their area of \u200b\u200binfluence. For political parties, power to them was a goal, both in terms of his members of the party leadership pouedam access to public coffers, make laws favorable positions available, the power of weapons and other resources of a community. This use of power and collective recusos may be for personal gain, his followers and allies, those who support or of all people is what makes their dierencias. The first president of Ecuador, Venezuela, Juan José Flores, was the country estate of his wealthy family, the family Jijón, a family of lineage from the colony in the Royal Audience of Quito. This will generally be opposed by the local peasants under the leadership, for an intellectual Vicente Revolcuón Rocafuerte in Los chihuahua and then some merchants of Guayaquil, which finally succeeded in 1845 out of the presidency, the next 20 years, political disputes became so great that by 1865 the country came to have 4 chairs at the same time: one in Quito, one in Guayaquil, Cuenca and a third in last quarter of Loja, the southernmost province, which almost leads to the engagement of the Amazon by frustrated Mapasingue treaty with Peru. The reufinicación the country went through a civil war, which put in power a dictator for 15 years, Garcia Moreno, a Guayaquil, fanatical Catholic who converted to Ecuador in a theocracy, where the confessionals, priests, nuns and parishioners were spies and main collaborators of a regime holding power of a church, which owned the education, health, 75% of cultivated land in the Sierra, controlled the entire the Amazon. textile production and social communication. It was the country where gossip, envy, and seven Sins found shelter under the cloak of a religious practice, which fed on all the fear and hatred of the Protestants, liberals, los.mazones, the diabolical, heresies and other forms of danger seen everywhere: , requiring the inhabitants, the so-called acts of faith, as a means of subjection and qualification. This country developed the so-called double standard, in which the same groups were demonstrating in a way, personally and came close in the opposite way, which led to the atrocities against the Indians, blacks, and poor mestizos reached intolerable levels. end century, the Montoneros, hordes armed peasant, managed by a civil war, take the clergy and their puppet governments. But the illusion lasted lasted a decade. An alliance between bankers Costa and so-called "curuchupas" mountain Catholic landowners, encouraged by the Church and newspapers, burned to the leaders of the Liberal Revolution in the Park Ejido in the capital, a January 28, 1912. political and philosophical currents that dominated the first century of the country were of French origin under the flow of romance that inspired the Simon Bolivar struggle, and based on freedom, equality and fraternity, the three principles of the French Revolution, which was the basis also of the U.S. Constitution. But then, the pragmatic Anglo norteamiericano had more weight and did so with the goal was to concentrate power, wealth and knowledge in cities, with Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca, the most favored. This concentration of power at the expense of more distant areas. favored territorial loss to the extent that the country was left with a third of its original territory. currency, trade and repression were from the beginning the tools to generate this concentration process, where the largest recipient was the British power, which funded the end of the English empire and then took control of ports and foreign trade, as payment for debts independence. We are a debt paid off until 1974 when we had oil and was then followed by a debt agobiantae especially the U.S., we pressed so far. In the nineteenth century, more than the liberation of Spain, blacks in 1851 and the coast since 1895, did not achieve the liberation of black and Indian captivity mountain farms until the early twentieth century seternta. with land reform. In the twentieth century, the laws that are most important for policy, came from a fraudulent election process usually in a country of illiterate population, and where few had the right to vote. The arrival of liberalism in the twentieth century and with it of secular education, tax free, the rules changed in subsequent years the policy was the trick to make laws for the exploitation of the poor, settling conflicts between the rich and strengthen the administrative apparatus and repressive state. With the advent of radio and television, broad spectrum of popular participation and control, as for political power, the most important thing is propaganda, and since independence again this depended on the press first, but Radio and television, people who could not be mobilized and began reading to have involvement in the disputes of power. The media were the ones who generated sympathy or antipathy of the candidates and gobernanes. This gave way to populism, a form of seduction that thanks to the radio, led to excess Hitler, Mussolini, then to other world leaders and Velasco in Ecuador. The electronic media allow this to create dictators or totalitarian states semitotalirios as socialist states of Europe and other continents , where the trial and the conduct of most people, came to be manipulated and manipulable insane extremes. The first and second world wars are used pruega criticism of politics. Par the twenties and thirties enters the scene, the left parties competing for votes and supporters with the conservative-Catholic and liberal Catholic layman, which guenero borer in guayaquil massacres and political persecution to the 90 in which the Soviet Union disappeared. This political-military influence persists in Colombia and Ecuador. The fundamental attack began against socialism from Russia against the Orthodox Empire, his doctrine exandió quickly from Mexico to Patagonia, which was against the Catholic power, and capitalism, which is the form of political domination that allows the concentration of wealth in few hands and that favored the emergence of commercial empires headed England and France and industrial powers led by the U.S. and its companies. This battle allowed macabre and cruel military on the continent, making theirs sponsored by the United States and take power since the postwar years until the 90's, because after the Second World Guera, the victorious Unidense state government came to control 70% of world market of raw materials and processed goods, and in some cases as film, more.
Ecuador has established a form of political game called "compromise." It was a system that the opposite of any government, gathered in a house, with or without the military, and then went to hit the barracks to promote actions of the armed forces, who switched to other governments elected by them. Normally these compromises went hand in hand for an approval from the American Embassy, \u200b\u200bbut there were situations like the fall of Jamil Mahuad, who got out of hand as the Indians in alliance with the lower-ranking military achieved a successful mobilization that the embassy quickly neutralized.
This process was in place until the fall of Lucio Gutierrez in the compromise of meeting in a public building and while the protesters called "outlaws" the patriarchs and made to accommodate the events in his favor. It was removed 4 of the 5 times he was elected Velasco and almost all governments who have not completed their periods. Since the second half of the twentieth century, there is a rapid process of deconcentration, which is enabling the emergence of nuesvas cities and groups to participate in the political banquet. So Indians and blacks have come to enjoy local, cantonal and provincial and even to be part of the central powers. Their presence has cast doubt on the honesty and capacity of traditional politicians, but in politics, the greed, the devil's favorite sin and power, also have corrupted many of them. The electoral political game, had many interruptions in the republican era, since the 80's where television comes to become the main means of mass influence, political parties came to turn Ecuador into a festival promises, lies, deals and corruption that led him to obtain the global award in the country where people perceive corruption as the greatest evil.
for politics and politicians is the side that are the most important thing is money. In the left-wing governments, the money is needed for public works and improve the living conditions of the population. For right-wing politicians, money is the fuel they need taienen those already and want more. In both cases the money is also used to compare or get favorable votes, and the population has learned to "sell" or "negotiate the vote." This is offering his vote in exchange for something. This so-called "give and take," or giving and receiving, is what undermined because it's not really the common good as sacred, satisfaction, and satisfaction in a political society of "having money "unlike" being tein "which is what makes knowledge in the new society of knowledge that spans the globe. Being a person means to have character, temperament, desire and every thought himself born of frequent exercise of choice. " The knowledge society is what allows democracy, is the opposite of politics. In politics a few achieved through elections or any other remedy, be privileged with the power to decide the fate and death of so-called city under their control. In democracy on the other hand, each person decides by frequent daily exercise choice in everything from the clothes you wear, what you eat, muisic you like, etc. to what we want people who serves in public office do for him. This requires that knowledge, which is what allows you to decide, accessible worldwide, and this was possible only with the advent of the Internet, globalization and variety.
As there are more people with the ability to affect political control, the policy is conducive to the use of pubic resources and the country, to change the situation of the disadvantaged for centuries. or to get sympathy, fear or resignation of a population, in exchange for keeping this issue where a few are privliegiados so extraordinary .. The cronyism, patronage, the militants, in exchange for favors, are among other ways of being a beneficiary of politics and politicians in power. The new religion called marketing, which has the ability to sell everything and can convince people of anything. Marketing can do away with the truth, instead being under the influence of propaganda, the convenient truth that characterizes the societies of domination by political parties or movements and business market control of voters, consumers or users. . But laws, favorable mechanism of control of political parties in today's society of Ecuador and the Western world, have the conflict, which quickly become obsolete, as technological advances change the lives of people and these changes make them embarrassment, the immutable laws are intended to set up situations, fix something that in many cases do not respond to the new reality, which is rapidly changing, therefore the violation of current law is not extraordinary, and this complicates the life of the state and the individual. The courts and prisons saturated reveal the problem, we're getting to a time when we are all victims of laws and regulations and ended up in prison or outside of prisons, victims of annoying rules that are out of context . These changes are due to the dominance of the knowledge society is influencing. In the knowledge society of domination, the law ceases to be important, what matters is the personal conviction born of education and the environment to make it right, that is, doing something that produces an effect without hurting and for this you need to know. If anyone know that the lack of hygiene, or risky behavior to avoid disease and has at its disposal mechanisms for tissue or cautious, it will change their behavior, because it will be affected or be socially isolated and will be autodegradado . domination in the society of knowledge, which our country and the world is going, the people hear what the president and his officials, calls for transparency in public administration, and reliable information, and will form an opinion that goes beyond the simple criteria of sympathy, by criteria of efficiency, honesty, etc. In the society of domination by political parties or party-as it is called in Ecuador, there is a crisis, it is confronted every day, although the policy is now a staple of every day in the life of Ecuadorians. Although the current government seeks to prove that the politician's honesty put in power, drag middle defects and has trained with the traditional view. For the Ecuadorian politician remains a known opportunistic a predator, that he puts his hand "legally" his pocket. This approach allows us to say that there are two kinds of people, those who work and so they get what they have or are what they are and they do things the wrong way, those who "tunean" means that border a "good trees" including are politicians, although they appear every day on television, or play in public office for the makeup people are crooks. This is the difference between a politician and a Democrat because the Democrats is that it teaches people to decide for himself at all, while the policy is intended to decide for others.
In this Blog, we sympathize with the tragedy that has led to the Earthquake and Tsunami, for the Japanese people and hope that the consequences of nuclear accidents are the smallest possible.
recently had the opportunity to read a fascinating article, published in several newspapers, in this case has been extracted from: http://www.voltairenet.org/article168911.html and reproduced below.
A part of the title, The "decontaminant" Chernobyl claims that it learned from the mistakes within the article presents a very interesting reflection , says: In his view "has not learned from mistakes", as left to the operators of a private company in a critical situation Fukushima like a rash, because they are unprepared to deal with an emergency of this magnitude.
This forces us to think, as it is possible that an industry as dangerous, the effects of disaster require state intervention and whose huge profits go to private hands and when there is a disaster should intervene, the army, and the fire department of the nearest cities,
This forces us to reflect, in all media continues advocating nuclear energy, is obvious that if this is financially viable because it does not internalize the costs they must pay the state as waste management. Large companies elective use nominee companies so that in case of accidents not splash their stock prices.
problems in Japan have begun to be solved when it government function and the military.
hope to be controlled and that the sea is not damaged, for the danger to the environment can be disastrous.
In this blog we talk about basic income, but here we see the similarity, the problem is not that money for not working. The problem is that it is always best to get a greater benefit at the expense of others. We prolong the life of the plants for more profit. Greenpeace complaint in Spain in 2005 were three nuclear power stops at the same time due to technical problems. The vent valve has been used in Japan in the accident, did not work in a plant. corrosion by sea water affected a cooling pipe since 1993 and in 2004 had not solved the problem.
The benefits are for the operating companies and multinationals that control, it is obvious that with so much money to buy political will and regardless of ethics.
in Germany apparently politicians are afraid of the voters and ethics to his people and therefore have begun to take serious action for the abandonment of nuclear energy by fission.
in Germany is moving forward with the Basic Income, in the end it is that everyone can live with dignity, so that the work is free and serve to contribute to the welfare of the country, we must not forget that all Everybody wants to work. And everyone makes sacrifices for his country when he plays.
And we all want the best for our country, the question is because they shut down and nuclear plants can not be closed if the benefits should rest with the state, already serving a general interest and the consequences of a disaster will suffer all.
What can not be is that you use as an excuse, when profits are directed into private pockets.
'll leave you with the wonderful article that has no waste. Nuclear
no thanks.
The "decontaminant" Chernobyl claims that it learned from the mistakes
responsible for decontaminating the Chernobyl from 1986 to 1991, Yuri Andreev, considers the situation that exists in Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant shows not have learned lessons from the accident in the former Soviet Union.
In his view "has not learned from mistakes", as left to the operators of a private company in a critical situation like that of Fukushima is foolhardy, because they are unprepared to deal with an emergency of this magnitude.
"The nuclear operators are not prepared to address an emergency of this nature. You need to create an international group specialized in this type of situation to learn from other disasters such as Three Mile Island (USA) and Chernobyl" explained.
This international body of emergency response for nuclear accidents should have an independent structure of the nuclear industry and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Ineffectiveness of the IAEA
"Strangely enough, the nuclear industry is not interested in learning the lessons of nuclear disasters. For any mention of a catastrophe plummet makes the public image of atomic energy. So try to hide any mention of a catastrophic scenario, "he said.
The IAEA, in its view," is very close to the nuclear industry interests, "because virtually all experts from companies or are linked in some the same way, so its findings should be viewed with caution.
also believes that an organization is "very weak" to deal with a situation like this because it depends on the information that will give him the member states and the game of diplomacy.
That makes ineffective in a situation like the present, in it is "time to push for real data to evaluate what happens," he said.
"In such a situation is not the time for diplomacy but to act", which should make the international body specialized in atomic accidents.
Chernobyl experience
Andreev, 73, explained that in April 1986 in Ukraine's Chernobyl nuclear power plant "was experienced the same situation: workers lacked training resolve the situation and had to be the Soviet Army, which was official, the that would create a scientific unit to manage the effect of the nuclear accident.
Spetsatom born from this experience, an entity created to carry out repair work in emergency situations and to prepare staff required to work in very high radiation conditions.
This emergency unit, where he was director, ceased to exist when the USSR collapsed in 1991, the year he emigrated to Austria, where he teaches at the University of Vienna and has also acted as advisor to the Ministry of Environment on issues of nuclear safety.
"After the Chernobyl accident, I told the then head of IAEA, (Hans) Blix, it was necessary to create an organization whose function was to deal with accidents, but not taken into account, "he says.
rating on the situation in Fukushima
On the future of Fukushima, believes the most likely scenario is that there is any kind of radiation leak "not very powerful" but prolonged in time, for days or weeks, to stabilize the situation. In his view, will not come to a devastating scenario of a fusion chain reaction.
"If there is significant leakage, decontamination tasks would be very complicated, because it is a very densely populated area," Andreev said adding that "the area closest to the plant would be very difficult to recover."
his opinion the most dangerous situation is addressed in the reactor 3, fed with "mox", a mixture of plutonium and uranium that is much more dangerous than nuclear fuel from other reactors in this and other plants.
policy Acts that affected the lives of Ecuadorians
by Maximiliano Moreno
Since the arrival of the Incas, the territory of the Northern Andes to Huayna Capac, the conquest began, it was a difficult territory of submission, because the inhabitants of these areas available and self-sufficient ecosystem trade relations developed for centuries, which allowed them to prolonged resistance. On the Peruvian side, however, survival depended on the occupation of different climatic zones where there were other tribes, which generated a process of conquest was ultimately beneficial for all Andean nations, as it really was self-sufficient and no trade did not significant levels mainly due to the wild of nature.
The subjugation of the northern territories depended exclusively on the Inca military apparatus, the military apparatus took 20 years to consolidate positions in this region extending Grass Knot, north to south Cajamarca. It was a long war for the northern front, while in Cuzco developed palace life, with friendly relations between the nationalities under the new regime.
The arrival of the English was based on a period of coexistence between Cuzco Incas followers of Huascar that allied themselves with the conquerors to defeat that saw usurper Atahualpa and his northern warriors, while in the north the English had defeated RESISTANCE-which after 10 years of struggle and the founding of Guayaquil, this dominance territory would be called Royal Audience of Quito, was based above all on a very powerful church, which occupied the Incas sacred sites in Cuenca and Quito, with temples and where the struggle for power was among Jesuits, Dominicans, with its Holy Inquisition Franciscans and Mercedarios founding of Quito. behind them the Royal Barracks in Lima, and the Grenadiers of the Viceroyalty of New Granada.
Most of the territory of the Royal Court was the territory of Misiones, where the Jesuits were the most skilled in the fearsome insight to areas like the Amazon or coastal forests. After each mission, had been a soldier.
With independence, the Venezuelan Llanos were placed in front of this territory since 1822. These irregular soldiers, characterized by their ability as horsemen and spearmen, changed the way European fighting formations, attack systems such as the Janissaries were the Arab conquest of Spain in the apparent chaos, speed and surprise were the pillars of victories. These soldiers were illiterate, brutal and ambitious, who commanded the first president of the fledgling republic of Ecuador in 1830, Juan José Flores, raided the public coffers, making what was the Royal Court in an area of \u200b\u200babsolute poverty for most part of the rural population and city.
For 100 years the military trained the damn, brutally, in campaigns against the Indians, rebels, and against anyone who was perceived as an enemy of government, established themselves as a dominant class, where officers had to be families ancestry.
But
Emerge about 1890 new soldiers from the plains of the coast, called Montoneros, peasant militias that are accompanied by their families, who make an informal war where the ambush, surprise and daring in many cases staff are victories
The ideal that moves is a utopia called freedom, because they were not really oppressed peasants, small farmers, but were left out of the central government, which controlled the Sierra, Guayaquil and large coastal cities, but beyond. were only the victims of the occasional visit to recruit young soldiers, used as cannon fodder in the political disputes between landlords mountain and coastal traders.
The montoneros achieve what was possible in other South American nations, defeating the power of the clergy, this is the Catholic Church, which was what was behind all governments since independence. His victory gave way to secular education and military academic Eloy Alfaro Military College.
But this triumph lasted a decade after 10 years, the biggest beneficiaries of the Liberal Revolution, were the bankers of Guayaquil that consolidated an alliance with the Church, would handle the power through a military repressor and since 1936 with General Enriquez Gallo with a police apparatus, which for 1944 in the government of Arroyo del Río was intended to make calls caravineros power through a repressive body, such as uniformed fucking hit from Mexico to Argentina until today.
Fortunately the military defeat in the 1941 war, forced to rethink on the armed forces, which were an institution divorced entirely from the people, until the 1968 case the death of Che Guevara in Bolivia and the student protests in France.
Static
States, decides to fight communism for which goes to the wars in Korea and Vietnam. In Latin America, your backyard, harass Cuba, following the failure of Gallegos Arbens and socialism in Guatemala. Cuba becomes the nail in the shoe. Che Guevara, the martyr who symbolizes the soldier morally solvent own ideals, not simply obedient and never deliverante uniform, which since colonial times and independence, was in command of their superior officers with no remorse consciousness.
By then, 1968, a president who won election 5 times and only managed to complete his term of 4 years, described by the bourgeoisie of crazy, Demag, populist, José María Velasco Ibarra, studied in France, took the ideals of the French students protesting against the Western educational model, and demanded free access to universities, the joint co-government, ie students, workers and teachers, have the same reprentación in decisions of universities, academic freedom for teachers to teach what they believe is best and not what the government, church or think dictator is conveninte, and orders the military training , but they will overthrow him, and managed directly by the pentagon, are trained at the School of the Americas, the cradle of American military, dictators and military bloodthirsty in Latin America ..
in Latin America in recent years, dictators and militarism reached its peak. Bloodthirsty soldiers, vain, estúipidos, permeating the governments with which today are ashamed Repíblica national and Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala's repressive beasts, Somoza in Nicaragua, the corrupt Colombian military, the traitors of Venezuela, and the 70's militaristic cruelty of South America reached its most gruesome dictators expression as Estrosner in Paraguay, the Argentine military junta, defeated by the shameful war in the Falklands, and his worst example: Pinochet owner of Chile for two decades.
But a wave of military thinking also emerged from Panama, Peru and Ecuador.
Oil and the questions they received from their adversaries, the university, who were his own children, who were now going to university in the people, not elites, with the exception of Catholic universities, where they were the rich. Careers as medicine, architecture, petroleum, veterinary, agronomy, journalism, careers were unique to public universities, where the rich rubbed shoulders with the poor. Universities Latin America's public spaces became training to the military resistance to American manipulation and disaffection with the masses of peasants, workers, intellectuals, or those groups who ruminated daily power and behavior of the rich this subcontinent.
But after that period, the military decided to make their own schools, colleges, universities, become a caste, elite, not harmful. Oil money helped privileges enjoyed starting in the military casinos and ended at the large military schools in the world. But this contact with military smarter than instuían School of the Americas, changed its outlook on Ecuador, a small country that must face three forces far beyond their power: the Peruvian ejécito huge and highly bellicose since the time of the Incas, the Colombian army, the army with the most long military exercise of a civil war in Western history, confronting it and for almost half a century to the most experienced and effective guerrilla in the world, the guerilla in Colombia and the Colombian guerrillas, with fighters and tactics that can break the Ecuadorian military.
The strategy to curb the Peruvian army who always showed their superiority and whose power it mita stripped of its territory just across the border, was to create elite forces, led by indigenous Amazonian capable of highly efficient irregular warfare, knowledge of terrain, logistics facilities thanks to its small territory, but all high intellectual training of their officers and soldiers, which was the weakest point of the Peruvian army.
Front Colombian army, he took from Ecuador a third of its original territory do, not make war, and the guerrillas, who used to Ecuador as a source of supply and shelter, the most important thing was to win the affection of his people, the guerrillas, paramilitaries and Mafia hitmen and the Colombian army have a weakness in common, they are hated by some of the Colombian population.
To win the people, military conscription have used the land, planting forests, land reform and settlement support to education, health, transport, the small farmers who support extreme rigors of the Amazon, the Andes and the Galapagos. And finally, after the government of Leon Febres Cordero, who used them to crush the rebels de Alfaro Vive Carajo, with its behavior disobedience to rulers unable as Abdullah Bucaram, Jamil Mahuad and even a military, as was the colonel Lucio Gutierrez, laid the foundations of military conduct and self-consciousness approach.
This does not fire on the people is the key variable that differentiates the Army of Ecuador and other Latin American armies has been given the status of political arbiter, together with a Catholic church who are experiencing a sea of \u200b\u200bcontradictions and still being one of the puppeteers of the national reality.
experiencing a domestic drama as a part of the Navy, has been entangled since the time of Febres Cordero in corruption closely related to his inner circle at Club La Union, which is the club of wealthy families from the coast, many of is recipient of the mangroves, protected areas under the care and responsibility of the navy, to shrimp, breaking the law. This club is a must the compliment to the naval officers also were involved in permitting and laziness against illegal fishing by foreign vessels or large domestic fishing companies, who can not fish in areas close to the beach and other abnormalities.
But perhaps the most vulnerable part of militarism Ecuador is the police. Key player and now the repression of an uprising. The police, is one of the least credible institutions in the country, not only by the stars revolt, but as in Mexico, some of its members have been part of gangs, and even territorial disputes what happens with the band in Manabi of Choneros.
police until the arrival of Correa's government was a force to direct orders from the U.S. Embassy, \u200b\u200bwhich gave and took away the computers with which it worked. Under the pretext of combating drug trafficking, a structured police force of privilege under the control of the DEA, which was actually an elite force to stabilize or destabilize governments, as when rulers are insecure, the cops of the country are transferred to Independence Park to guard the Palacio de Carondelet and the pursuit of traffickers, also registers those who oppose the government.
The last statement to the police, revealed the great power of the police, since its absence or in anger with an agent, creates traffic problems, circulation, Supply balance and encourages more serious crime in a country where respect for others is born of awareness and personal conduct, but the presence of police, because our schooling and the media conditions us to think so, except in indigenous communities now reject this and are arranged so as not to submit.
The state police are the most widely used instrument for political and bureaucratic corruption, their positions are rotating and their performance does not meet the needs and demands of the population, but the cravings officials and officers on duty so that the police are still lagging badly remainder of famed Latin American militarism. The day the police to be chosen on merit for every inhabitant of a village or neighborhood the story begins to change.
Dear readers, as there can be no other Thus, the government in this case is confusing the bacon with the speed, and instead of defending the rights of consumers, defends always, to shareholders of large companies.
Reducing speed on motorways, may have different arguments but will not assume certainly save energy, because trucks and transport are not going that fast and most travel as a rule not be made through these channels.
But so far as feathering of the crisis constitutes a success because at the moment is gone except the crisi for self-employed and 4.3 million unemployed.
While we read articles like this in the world, where competition highlights the English pay more than 1600 million more on fuel than the surrounding countries.
But neither is true for the government to manage the fuel taxes to discourage use. therefore leaving no entering government and others who make oil always goes lower consumption of citizens. From aluego so does not solve the crisis. If we add that the electric bill all of their energy as renewable if not it is, due to some opaque formulas promoted by the government, in the end we must have doubled the energy bill from our homes in just three years.
'll leave you with the item, used to see what really is happening.
The National Competition Commission (CNC) has returned to warn of the irregular operation the fuel sector in Spain.
The lack of competition in the sector, among other factors, make the English pay 1,600 million euros more on fuel compared to countries like Germany or France, estimates the agency directed by Luis Berenguer.
Competition two years ago published a devastating report in which he denounced the dominance
Repsol, Cepsa and BP
in the English market asked the government to take steps to facilitate the entry of new competitors in the petrol sector. Now Competition regrets that the report has fallen on deaf ears. "After nearly two years since the publication of that report and parliamentary initiatives urging compliance, continue without taken effective measures to implement the recommendations," says the new report by the CNC.
According to the body, it is urgent to implement these recommendations "with the rise of fuel prices in coming months, the upturn in oil prices tensions arising from the Maghreb and the Middle East. "
According to the CNC," remain serious competition that largely explain the maintenance of price levels before tax higher than the Most of the countries around us. "
militarism Acts that affected the lives of Ecuadorians
For Maximiliano Moreno In the previous issue of territorial losses, we talked about how power struggles between Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca, was one of the key elements that Ecuador emerged as a weak state. To this must be added regionalism. Regionalism was above all a power struggle between the Sierra and the Costa, complicated in the past quarter century with Amazon regionalism. In addition regionalism has been the provincial caciques, and even cantonal and parish, which has turned the country into personal plots, ethnic, territorial, moral and religious. regionalism has its origins in the remarkable differences that success among the inhabitants of the natural regions, as in the Andes developed sedentary cultures, which had permanent villages, crops, land routes, which allowed a stable way of life the inhabitants of the valleys and mountains. They were also lands conquered by the Incas, who brought the Quechua culture was predominant. Along the coast, semi-nomadic cultures developed within and more stable, but sailors or operators in the coastal mangroves. cultures or call semi-nomadic cultures of cocoa and cassava, had a link with the Indians of Central America as the Maya and Quiche, in the northern Andes as the Chibcha and Arawaks and the Caribbean as the Caribbean. In these cultures, the cocoa drink came to be sacred and currency, but hurricanes and storms in Central America, such as drought and inudaciones produced by the marine currents of Humboldt, the Boys and Girls here, leaving devastation that forced move from side to side. On the coast, Ecuador became the shipping center of a culture, it is believed that even that was influenced by Pacific and Japan. This culture shipping company, he developed a currency called espondilus, a shell that responds to the presence of the child's current and growing even in the depths near the coast. This culture influenced sailors from Mexico to Chile, and are among the calls of corn and cotton in the Valdivia culture cultivated 7000 years ago. The coastal cultures living in a constant war since each spoke different languages, and had hunting and fishing territories with natural disasters in conflict with its neighbors. On arrival of the English, Spain's power is concentrated mainly in the Sierra, while the coastal areas were territories outside the law, and even with its own laws chiefs and native leader, until the fifties of the century XX. This live outside the law arose from the need to replace the numerous deaths that occurred in tropical areas and epidemics that led to the near extinction of indigenous. So women took coastal extramarital pregnancy and safe fertilization, which ere a tradition as Manteños tribes, who organized festive orgies full moon to ensure fertility of all women as possible. As a result, the Sierra ecclesiastical marriage was obligatory for all, in the Costa happened to be a peculiarity of the whites and the rich to ensure inheritance. coastal language, characterized by its savings in pronunciation and speed, in contrast to the Andean language, where the ll rr and s are overly pronounced, while on the coast these consonants and sounds, or confused. The way to walk upright on the coast, as opposed to the curved form of walking in the Sierra, the music upbeat music as dominant, while in Sierra sad and melancholic music was common, and a diet based on cassava, fish, beans, fruit, in contrast to food-based mountain cuy, potatoes, cereals, legumes and vegetables. The differences were politically exploited by the English to keep the oppressed in their kingdoms in constant infighting, beneath the Roman principle fundamental to tyrannical government of "divide and conquer." to divide the Indians of the Andes, were given to each ethnic group a suit, which was designed by the king of Spain, so it was very clear for a differentiated otavalo a canary. On the coast it was not possible, only externally visible difference was the presence of blacks. The rest had no particular dress, dressing everyone as mestizos, except for the Tzachilas who kept his clothes and began to paint the hair in the early twentieth century, finding that Aedes mosquitoes are not transmitting the Egypty yellow fever, which gave off the smell of dye called annatto (bixin). nationalities who took refuge in the most remote jungles of Esmeraldas, as Chachi, had the particular thing that their wives did not cover their breasts and men wore skirts, even contact with the mestizos in the second half twentieth century. both the coast and in the Sierra were developed large estates, with the difference that mountain farms were producing products for domestic consumption, while the coastal haciendas began as the Americans for the export of snuff and alcohol. Since then the main source of income of the coastal farmer was wood and the places that still have the opportunity to knock down trees, still do. The Sierra not lived different periods to the Coast. In the Andes the colony that lasted from 1534 to 1822 then came the Catholic conservative republic, which lasts until now but had an earthquake with the Liberal Revolution of Eloy Alfaro, the Agrarian Reform of the 60s and 70s or the current period and the time oil flowers and greenhouse crops from the 80's. the coast lived in the colony with the Guayaquil port activity. This activity began with the production of ships, so it became the largest shipyard in the Pacific coast, then came the time to snuff, but the landlord power began with the husk, which was a joint venture with the Highlanders , then the cocoa and so-called "big Cacao" gained control of the country by bankers, to the year 2000 with an earthquake, but of recovering. La Costa has had clear periods of life, because farmers have been producing export products that have marked their lives and define it in their language telling time periods of cocoa, the ivory and rubber, the bananas, shrimp and palm oil. The time cocoa was a period that began in the late colonial and lasted until the 1929 crisis in the United States, where the market crash was followed by the abandonment of plantations and pests. The period of the rubber and tagua had to do with the period before the Second World War and the invention of synthetic rubber Banana period is a period that is divided into two: when did the United and Standard Fruit from 1948 to 1958 and the period of the queen Noboa banana family, which continues today. In the 70 oil was the time on the coast gave way to logging and cattle raising, until after the El Niño phenomenon in l982, it was discovered how to raise shrimp, it almost kills the mangroves and marine beaches, but fortunately got the white spot, a viral disease of shrimp in the late 90's, but this industry has been recovering gradually levels. In recent years, spread like a plague of oil palm plantations, teak (wood) and eucalyptus forest, causing ecological damage and the expulsion of peasants to the cities. In the coastal area is also developing industrial fishing, which has complicated the lives of fishermen, who resort to smuggling, human trafficking, and drug trafficking as alternative resources. Sea tourism started from the 80's and is much stronger growth in other parts of the country. Each period was followed by migration sparked a population concentrated in cities and towns, leaving vast areas for export plantations and production of rice, soybeans, hard corn for domestic consumption. While the agrarian reform had an impact in the Sierra, parceling the farms, and the Amazon, forced migration of settlers who entered indigenous territories, along with the oil companies and tourism, to appropriate pieces of jungle and turn them into pastures and only now in growing areas, this led to an indigenous reaction, characterized by their warrior spirit, which was the key to the organization CONAIE have much greater impact in their demonstrations. La Sierra, and Amazonia with their religion and the great influence of the clergy, professionals and bureaucrats, strengthened by oil, has had a long power struggle with the merchants, bankers, landowners and agricultural exporters coast, reaching the point where the Costa puts the president and the Sierra is lowered. From the 50's thanks to the revolution in medicine, roads, transport, coastal population growth has been explosive, becoming the voting power. The Sierra does however influence due to the high educational levels to have their middle and upper class. But within Ecuadorian culture is no doubt that the natural attraction because of their greater sexual vitality they feel the men and women of the Sierra by the Coast, which has always been one of the reasons for migration to these places are antagonistic force in this struggle for power.
