Fascists and Church stole and sold 300,000 babies, executed 150,000..

When the fascist government finally fell apart in Spain there was a ‘transition’ and an amnesty law. After 40 years in power the ‘rabid right’ and the Church owned most property and wealth and to this day they hold power behind the scenes, controlling the police, army and judiciary.( really, they control the High Court).

Half a million died in the fascist takeover, and they executed over 100,000 more afterwards.  All Spain is littered with mass graves and associations of relatives pay to have them dug up and analyzed. You can’t get any official help, even the invented crimes for the mass summary executions are still legally valid.

The amnesty law still stands-. There is no closure. No justice. The Spanish State,  monarchy and religion are founded on gigantic mass butchery, life sentences and the worst tortures imaginable. No wonder they’re not popular!

The criminals and their heirs are still managing their fortunes and living in luxury. The Church owns half the country and pays no tax.  Britain, France and the USA of course helped set up the regime. They always armed,  aided and shared profits from the Fascist reign of terror for 40 years.

Now another well known but buried fascist crime has gone public, due to a documentary by the BBC, boosting their ratings and income.

Over 300,000 babies were taken from their parents, often by nuns who controlled the hospitals,  and sold, right up till the 1970s.

”The practice of removing children from parents deemed “undesirable” and placing them with “approved” families, began in the 1930s under the dictator General Francisco Franco.

At that time, the motivation may have been ideological. But years later, it seemed to change – babies began to be taken from parents considered morally – or economically – deficient. It became a money-spinner, too.

The scandal is closely linked to the Catholic Church, which under Franco assumed a prominent role in Spain’s social services including hospitals, schools and children’s homes.

Nuns and priests compiled waiting lists of would-be adoptive parents, while doctors were said to have lied to mothers about the fate of their children.

The name of one doctor, Dr Eduardo Vela, has come up in a number of victim investigations. Dr Vela is confronted with the allegations in the documentary.

In 1981, Civil Registry sources indicate that 70% of births at Dr Vela’s San Ramon clinic in Madrid were registered as “mother unknown.”read lots more on BBC  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15335899

Permaculture at Occupy Wall Street

 

permaculture design at occupy wall streetLike many of you, I’ve been watching the Occupy Wall Street (and local OccupySTL) protests with fascination. While I know the mainstream media hasn’t gotten too creative in its reporting (once it started reporting), the little bit of digging I’ve done on “on-the-ground” reporting has turned up more than just angry kids, but an ongoing experiment with political participation and governance itself.

Sure, unemployment, income disparity, and the American dream have been at the forefront of the movement… but I wondered early on if environmental sustainability was getting a “place at the table” as this movement forms and grows.

The answer: yes (as I suspected). This morning, I received email from the OWS Sustainability Working Group and Seismologik Media about a short film the latter had produced in partnership with One Pack Productions (unfortunately, embedding Vimeo wasn’t working for me today, so you’ll have to click through). Of course, I’m happy to see permaculture on display at Occupy Wall Street; I’m even happier to see that there’s more than protest going on there, but also experimentation with alternative, sustainable ways to meeting needs (which, of course, is its own form of protest).

Take a look at the film (it’s just under five minutes long), and let us know what you think. What other kids of sustainability experimentation could be going on in the midst of this activism?

 

macho Spain:81 mujeres muertos/ 81 women killed by sexists

anti patriarchy demo

25-N 2011: Que no nos cuenten cuentos. El patriarcado mata

25th Nov.: Don’t tell us Fairy Tales. Patrarchy kills.

Un año más, la cifra de mujeres asesinadas por la violencia machista ha sido espeluznante: 67 mujeres y 14 personas relacionadas con ellas: hijxs, hermanxs, amigxs…Seguramente, cuando estés leyendo esto, haya alguna mujer más muerta.

 For yet another year the figures for women murdered by sexist violence have been horrific. 67 women and 14 related to them: daughters, sisters, girlfriends..Surely just as you’re reading this there’s another woman being killed.Ninguna persona esta a salvo cuando tiene lugar este tipo de agresión. A pesar de que la violencia que mata es escandalosa, consideramos que hay otros tipos de violencia más sutiles y, a veces, completamente invisibles a los ojos de la sociedad, que siguen perpetuando el sistema patriarcal y que impiden nuestra evolución como mujeres libres.…Secretaría de la Mujer CGT

 Nobody is safe when this type of violence takes place. Even though violence that kills is a scandal, there are other types of violence more subtle and sometimes invisible to the eyes of society, which continues to perpetuate the patriarchal system and which blocks our evolution as free women.

World demo news: 350,000+ Occupy Barcelona..

15 O..one of many actions in Barcelona

There was no trouble because the police kept away, though I saw dozens of banks and the stock exchange being

heavily ‘redecorated’. The mainstream paper ‘El Periodico’ estimated 350,ooo participants, an enormous turnout

of every imaginable sector in festival mood and yelling anti Capitalist slogans.

Dozens of other Iberian cities were equally swamped with demonstrators. In Madrid a large empty hotel was occupied to accomodate families evicted for failing to pay impossible mortgages .

El grupo de indignados que ha ocupado esta madrugada el hotel Madrid, en la calle Carretas, tiene intención de “resistir pacíficamente” en el edificio y “cederlo” a la Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca.

Participant numbers. Cifras de asistencia en diferentes ciudades, según van contando las agencias: en Vigo, 10.000 manifestantes; Barcelona: 400.000 según la organización (la Guardia Urbana los cifra en 60.000); Alicante: 10.000; Elche: 2.000; Baleares, 5.000; Vitoria, 3.000.

Occupy! Your guide to the international Occupation Movement

October 13, 2011  (Peoples’ Assemblies) (, , )

An occupation guide out of Santa Cruz and Baltimore that provides an introduction to consensus decision-making, know your rights info, and contextualizes US occupation in the context of recent international uprisings.

The ultra-rich have us by the throats and they’ve had us by the throats for a long, long time.

While the rest of us suffer through a worldwide economic crisis, the people at the top are just getting richer. In a 2011 study, the richest 20% of the country had 85% of the privately held wealth. For the rest of us, nothing’s getting better: the state is closing schools and libraries, rolling back social services, shutting down bus lines and state parks.

But an international movement has sprung up to challenge the foundations of our global system of corporatism and greed. It’s a protest movement qualitatively different from any that has come before, a uniquely 21st century form. It’s a movement without party politics. It’s a movement inspired by the advances of communication that have allowed us to function without authority, allowing every voice to at last be weighed truly as equal. It’s a movement that doesn’t bring a list of demands to the powers that be but instead suggests that we can build a different society.

The wealth that it takes to get us out of this mess is right in front of us—we know because we are the ones who created it. We designed and built the cities. We # y the planes, crunch the numbers, grow the food, write the software, and do everything it takes to keep this society running. All the wealthiest do is sit there and watch their money make more money.

The wealth is right in front of us and yet they tell us there isn’t enough to feed us, to educate us. They’re lying. Maybe they’re lying to themselves, maybe they’re lying to us—it doesn’t matter. They don’t matter. We don’t need them.

We are the 99% and we are more powerful than they’ll ever be.

15 Oct 2011. One step for millions of Occupiers.

In my opinion, it is very likely that the historians of the future will look upon tomorrow as the day a truly global anti-capitalist movement was born. Following the example of Occupy Wall Street, Los Angeles, Boston, and hundreds of US towns and cities, a huge number of small and large occupations will begin on every continent except Antarctica (see Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America).

All proclaim their opposition to the capitalist status quo – with its obscene riches at one pole and sickening poverty at the other. All of this has been organised online, completely outside the clutches of the decaying trade union bureaucracies, for whom ‘international solidarity’ is just some words they used to say a few decades back. The old organisations of timid protest seek influence on the margins, but they are ignored and seen to be as irrelevant as they actually are. It is highly appropriate that this moment has been crowned by the apparently successful resisting of the attempt by New York’s mayor and second richest man to retake Liberty Park. There is a sense that the powers that be are losing control by the hour, if not the second if you follow it all on Twitter.

If you are can't occupy from tomorrow, you can follow the action on the #occupy Twitter hashtag, your local Indymedia site, and maybe even your local corporate media, if you've got the stomach for it.

Scuffles, arrests overnight at Occupy Wall Street
Although a massive march and rally in Lower Manhattan by Occupy Wall Streeters and their union supporters went off without a hitch Wednesday afternoon, the scene turned ugly again overnight when some protesters rushed police barricades where they were met with nightsticks, pepper spray and handcuffs.

‘Gasoline’ 100% free of CO2 and pollutants Exists NOW

note. posts on NH3 the CO2-Free fuel now have their own blog HERE.. http://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/

     For nearly 100 years we have been forced to use petroleum, causing environmental devast

at

ion, runaway climate change and the agonizing deaths of countless millions of us through air pollution.

Now at last, with Climate Chaos becoming a daily reality, people are starting to  ‘discover’ that a CO2, NOx and SOx FREE alternative has existed all along.

We are doing a micro campaign on this blog in favour of this  CO2-free fuel. It’s a reformist solution, but one that’s available NOW

The criminal oil industry wants to close blogs like this, afraid prices would collapse if we started making NH3 car fuel.. locally with just wind, air and water

Please can you help? We need lots of free publicity and to persuade ‘respectable’ blogs, magazines, etc to write about it.

I’ve done some research and lots of posts and links you can view HERE note. posts on NH3 the CO2-Free fuel now have their own blog HERE.. http://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/ Continue reading “‘Gasoline’ 100% free of CO2 and pollutants Exists NOW”
