Manifestaciones preparativos

Ayer se celebraron 57 manifestaciones en toda España contra la reforma laboral, en vigor desde el pasado 12 de febrero. En la comunidad aragonesa hubo dos principales: en Zaragoza y en Huesca, aunque también hubo concentraciones en otros núcleos como en Benasque. las protestas de ayer escenificó un salto cuantitativo, por la multitudinaria asistencia, y cualitativo, por el hartazgo de jóvenes, parados y trabajadores que se sienten los únicos paganos de una crisis que parece no tener fin. “Se puede y se debe hacer lo que haga falta para no morir de rabia”, comentaba Soledad, de 61 años, que junto a Paqui –de 44 años y que encadena más de 30 contratos eventuales en los últimos once años– encarnaban la viva imagen del inconformismo.

humans: 7000m+.. silky sifakas: about 500

While we humans have topped 7000 million there may be less than 500 left of our fellow primate, the Silky Sifaka.

Q&A with Erik Patel

About how many Silky Sifakas do you estimate remain in the wild?

Patel: Silky sifakas are one of the rarest animals on earth and it is shocking to consider how few remain.

Over the past few years, our team has found 31 groups (131 total individuals) of silky sifakas in Marojejy National Park which contains the majority of their remaining population.

None at all are found in captivity because they have never survived in zoos anywhere.

Anti police demo victory in Montreal

MONTREAL anarchists are euphoric after an anti-police protest achieved spectacular impact.

Said a statement on Anarchist News Dot Org: “We flipped over a policecar on rue Sainte-Catherine. Prole stroll.

“Everyone was like WHOO! and happy kids were dancing on the chassis, happy cuz they were right to be happy. Banks got their windows broken. Fancy stores too.

LE 15 MARS, LA VENGEANCE. We could’ve done better, but we did what we did, and this was the one day when the pacifists weren’t out in force and the people who get harassed by the police on a daily basis were letting loose and we got to share some knowing looks with some of the kids we haven’t seen since this time last year. This was our day, our night. Prole stroll!

“Some comrades are in jail. Many people, perhaps not yet aware of the fact that we live in a surveillance society, did things that perhaps they should not have done with their faces unconcealed.

“The city is begging the province for more help with the security crisis: student demos everyday with more to come, and now this, the biggest March 15 in years, prole stroll like we ain’t seen outside of a hockey riot, what is sure to be a big embarassment to North America’s crowd control experts………………..

“THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO DO. Onward to March 22, onward to May Day, onward to the continental general strike and the infinite strike! Until neither the SPVM nor any other police agency nor any other institution of domination exist, our work isn’t done.

“And to the kids who looted Future Shop and got some PS3s, MAD RESPECT. We GET what we can TAKE.”

US govt. grabs right to Total Control

New Obama Executive Order Seizes U.S. Infrastructure and Citizens for Military Preparedness by Brandon Turbeville

In a stunning move, on March 16, 2012, Barack Obama signed an Executive Order stating that the President and his specifically designated Secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all domestic U.S. resources including food and water. The EO also states that the President and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside the United States as well as forcibly induct/draft American citizens into the military. The EO also contains a vague reference in regards to harnessing American citizens to fulfill “labor requirements” for the purposes of national defense.

Not only that, but the authority claimed inside the EO does not only apply to National Emergencies and times of war. It also applies in peacetime.

The National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order exploits the “authority” granted to the President in the Defense Production Act of 1950 in order to assert that virtually every means of human survival is now available for confiscation and control by the President via his and his Secretaries’ whim……………….

Some have no doubt begun to wonder why the President has signed such an order. Not only that, but why did he sign the order now?

Is it because of the looming war with Iran or the Third World War that will likely result from such a conflict? Is it because of the ticking time bomb called the economy that is only one jittery move or trade deal away from total disintegration?

Is it because of a growing sense of hatred of their government amongst the general public? Is there a coming natural disaster of which we are unaware? Are there plans for martial law?
Whatever the reason for the recent announcement of Obama’s new Executive Order, there is one thing we do know for sure – “It wouldn’t happen here” has been the swan song of almost every victim of democide in modern human history.

29M: No trabajes, No consumas. /General Strike

Cada vez somos más las personas que exigimos compaginar la Huelga General del 29 de marzo con una HUELGA DE CONSUMO. La Reforma Laboral del desPPido ha supuesto el mayor atentado a los derechos laborales de la historia reciente, a lo que debemos sumar el retraso en la edad de jubilación a los 67 años, la subida de impuestos a los que menos tenemos y los recortes a la sanidad y la enseñanza, mientras que bancos, multinacionales, políticos y especuladores en general, los mismos que han causado esta crisis, siguen enriqueciéndose a nuestra costa y para ello no les importa llevar al planeta al borde del desastre ecológico.

Huelga de Consumo Vs Huelga General
El derecho a la huelga es algo legítimo que ejerce libremente la clase trabajadora para demostrar al empresariado que se está en desacuerdo con su gestión. Lo cierto es que la idea principal de la huelga es conseguir que el empresario pierda dinero. La huelga es el mejor mecanismo de presión en procesos productivos industriales y algunos servicios. Si no se produce o no se vende el empresario deja de ganar un dinero.
Sin embargo en parte del sector de servicios y empleados públicos, una huelga no tiene tanto efecto sobre el empresario, ya que si el trabajo hoy no se hace, no sucederá nada especialmente grave, en ocasiones por los abusivos servicios mínimos o el miedo al despido. El retraso que se acumule se irá recuperando poco a poco.
En definitiva en una sociedad industrial la huelga general es la mejor medida de presión. Pero ese escenario ha ido cambiado con el tiempo, pasando a una sociedad basada en el consumo, donde lo que de verdad hace daño a todas las empresas es no consumir.
Imagina un día de huelga general y de consumo, de paro absoluto. Sin apenas consumo, sin compra de alimentos, prensa, tabaco, sin uso del transporte privado ni colectivo, sin movimientos bancarios, sin llamadas, sin gestiones con la administración, un día de total retiro del mundanal ruido. Bancos, centros comerciales, supermercados, gasolineras, comercios, centros de atención al cliente, todos ellos sin clientela. Si algún trabajador no secunda la huelga general por miedo al despido estaría cruzado de brazos.
