BUENOS AIRES, 27 dic (IPS) – Cobró impulso en Argentina una causa judicial sobre graves delitos cometidos durante la Guerra Civil Española y la posterior dictadura de Francisco Franco (1936-1975).

La jueza federal argentina María Servini de Cubría abrió este mes una investigación a raíz de la querella presentada en abril de 2010 por abogados humanitarios de Argentina en nombre de familiares de víctimas del régimen franquista……….

……..El objetivo no es cuestionar la vigencia de la ley de amnistía española, ratificada recientemente ante un intento de derogarla, sino ejercer la jurisdicción argentina respecto de crímenes “que ofenden y lesionan a la humanidad y que permanecen impunes”, remarcaron los abogados.

Organizaciones de derechos humanos estiman en 113.000 la cantidad de personas desaparecidas en la guerra civil y el régimen de Franco, muchas supuestamente enterradas en unas 2.500 fosas comunes. Pero habría además unos 30.000 casos de menores supuestamente sustraídos de sus familias y apropiados ilegalmente…..
“En el caso de España, cuando presentamos la querella había al menos 13 militares vivos, y además están los casos de 30.000 personas que desconocen su verdadera identidad”, dijo el abogado.

“Queremos una investigación a fondo, que se determine la verdad y se establezcan las responsabilidades. Si no lo hace España, lo haremos acá. Ojalá que haya colaboración”, agregó. (FIN/2011)…

Huelga de Hambre contra el Sistema/ Hunger Strike vs. the System,

Huelga de Hambre contra el sistema/Hunger strike against the system  (in English below)

 La situación económica que prercariza a los más desfavorecidos, no es fruto de una “crisis” sino de una ESTAFA producida por el sistema financiero y respaldada por los poderes públicos de todo el Estado español. A su vez, estos poderes públicos están respaldados por todos los políticos institucionalizados del país, desde la derecha, pasando por los nacionalistas, hasta la “izquierda”, con su muda política de “quien calla, otorga”, quienes, en vez de tener la más mínima decencia de abandonar todos los parlamentos para dejar gobernar a los ladrones en solitario, participan democráticamente del latrocinio institucionalizado.

Los ricos, cada vez son más ricos y cada vez pagan menos impuestos.  Los pobres, cada vez somos más pobres y cada vez pagamos más impuestos.  Los esfuerzos de nuestra supervivencia, sólo están destinados al enriquecimiento de los ladrones institucionalizados.

Por tanto, yo Francisco Javier Cañadas Gascón –Xavi para los amigos- nacido y residente en la ciudad de Barcelona, en plenas facultades mentales decido unilateralmente declararme en “Huelga de Hambre y Sed, indefinida” a partir de 31 de diciembre de 2011, a las 12,00h ante la puerta principal de la Generalitat de Catalunya, situada en Pl. Sant Jaume. Y exijo, porque en esta ocasión no es de recibo pedir a los políticos ladrones institucionalizados, los siguientes puntos, para deponer mi actitud:

1.- Eliminación por Decreto Ley del Copago sanitario.

2.- Absolución sin cargos de los 20 compañeros y compañeras acusados de terrorismo por el juez Eloy Velasco de la Audiencia Nacional, por el “Cas Parlament” del 15 de junio de 2011, porque considero que la disidencia no es terrorismo y sí lo es el “latrocinio político institucionalizado”.

3.- Abolición inmediata de todos los desahucios, con carácter retroactivo desde 2008.

4.- Abolición inmediata de la Monarquía.

5.- Eliminación, por decreto ley de la cámara del senado.

6.- Nacionalización de toda la Banca-Usura.

7.- Reducción del 75% de las retribuciones de todos los “Políticos Institucionalizados” de España.

8.- Reducción en un 200% de los presupuestos de Defensa e Interior.

9.- Requisación de todas las cuentas situadas en paraísos fiscales y expulsión permanente del país de todos sus propietarios.

10.- Aumento en un 200% de las partidas presupuestarias de Sanidad, Educación, Cultura y Servicios Sociales.

Hunger strike against the system / Hunger Strike Against the system

The economic situation prercariza the disadvantaged, not the result of a “crisis” but a SCAM produced by the financial system and supported by governments around the Spanish State. In turn, these public authorities are supported by all political institutionalized in the country, from the right, to the nationalists, to the “left” with its policy change “who remains silent, gives” who, instead of having the slightest decency to leave all parliaments to stop thieves govern alone, participate democratically in the institutionalized theft.

The rich are becoming richer and more and pay less taxes. The poor, we are increasingly poor and increasingly pay more taxes. The efforts of our survival, are only intended to enrich the institutionalized thieves.

Therefore I Cañadas Francisco Javier Gascón, Xavi for friends, born and residing in the city of Barcelona, ​​in sound mind decided unilaterally declared an indefinite “Hunger and Thirst Strike, undefined” from December 31, 2011, to the 12.00 h at the front door of the Generalitat de Catalunya, located in Plaça Sant Jaume. And I demand, because this time is not acceptable to ask politicians institutionalized thieves, the following points, to depose my attitude:

1 .- Elimination of Copayment health Decree.

2 .- Absolution without charge of 20 colleagues accused of terrorism by Judge Eloy Velasco of the National Court, on the “Cas Parlament” of June 15, 2011, because I think that dissent is not terrorism, and yes it is the “institutionalized political thievery.”

3 .- immediate abolition of all foreclosures, retroactively from 2008.

4 .- immediate abolition of the monarchy.

5 .- Disposal, by decree of the senate chamber.

6 .- Nationalization of the entire Banking and Usury.

7 .- 75% reduction of the salaries of all the “Political Institutionalized” from Spain.

8 .- Reduced to 200% of the budgets of Defense and Interior.

9 .- requisition of all accounts located in tax havens and permanent expulsion from the country of all its owners.

10 .- Increase by 200% of the budget of Health, Education, Culture and Social Services.

anonymous: Robin Hoods steal and give Millions!

 Anonymous hacks thousands of credit card numbers from security firm and cyphers money to charity.

Doing whatever it takes to bring some perceived justice back in the world…

Looks like the hacking group ‘Anonymous‘ has been back at it with its latest disclosure that it has stolen thousands of credit card numbers belonging to clients of US based security think tank Stratfor with as much a million dollars to date being donated to charity.

At present Anonymous is boasting that it has stolen Stratfor’s confidential client list, which includes outlets like Apple, the US Air Force and mined it for more than 4000 credit card numbers, passwords and home addresses.

To date ‘Anonymous’ has posted a small slice of the 200 gigabytes worth of sensitive client information, going so far as to go on twitter to taunt that more outlets have been earmarked in days to come.

Strike at the Heart of the Beast!

According to ‘Anonymous’ it was able to attain access to client credit card information because Stratfor failed to encrypt the codes, an embarrassing snafu for an outlet that’s in the business of security.

Hours after publishing what it claimed was Stratfor’s client list, Anonymous tweeted a link to encrypted files online with names, phone numbers, emails, addresses and credit card account details.

‘Not as many as you expected? Worry not, fellow pirates and robin hoods. These are just the ‘A’s,’ read a message posted online that encouraged readers to download a file of the hacked information.

What is particularly distressing to clients at present is the extent of information that ‘Anonymous’ has been able to steal and what some of the notes on various emails may have to say. Something that could prove to be very embarrassing as well as incriminatory given the sensitive information that an outlet like the US Airforce would be privy to.

This evening ‘Anonymous’ went online with images of receipts of charitable donations it already has begun to administer.

Hours after publishing what it claimed was Stratfor’s client list, Anonymous tweeted a link to encrypted files online with names, phone numbers, emails, addresses and credit card account details.

One member of ‘anonymous’ went so far as to go on twitter using the handlebar, AnonymousAbu alleging that more than 90,000 credit cards from law enforcement, the intelligence community and journalists — ‘corporate/exec accounts of people like Fox’ News — had been hacked and used to make more than one million dollars worth of Christimas donations to entities that include for instance the Red Cross, CARE, Save the Children.Wishing everyone a “Merry LulzXMas” – a nod to its spin-off hacking group Lulz Security – Anonymous also posted a link on Twitter to a site containing the email, phone number and credit number of a US Homeland Security employee.

Kazakhstán Kicks off.. Smash the criminal State!

  kazakhstan kicks off

Kazakh resistance to State massacres

On December 16th (Kazakhstan’s Independence Day) more than 3,000 people met up for a demonstration at the main square of Zhanaozen, a town situated in the oil-rich Mangystau Province in the west of the country.

The people who took part in action were the ex-workers of local oil companies, fired after a bitter seven month strike. Their main demands were the payment of all outstanding salaries and improvement of work conditions.

As expected the oil workers and other town folk announced their intentions to hold a peaceful protest to the authorities of Kazakhstan. However, during the demo, a police Jeep was deliberately driven into the crowd of protesters and ‘peaceful’ went out of fashion from there on in. Angry people turned a police car upside down and set it on fire. A nearby police bus and a yurt (placed on the square “for the celebrations”) were

oil strikers camp Kazakhstan

also torched. Following this, the people, armed with sticks, pipes and molotov cocktails occupied the office of the local gas company and burned rooms on the ground floor of its office building. The local council building and a hotel were also burned. The oil workers surrounded the building and would not let the firemen get to the building. As an encore, they looted the houses of the rich in the exclusive, private area of town.

The state’s answer was to send army divisions, armoured transport and more police. The town’s population defended the strikers and, as a result of the attempt to bring it to ‘order’ more than ninety people (civilians and security) are said to have been killed, with eight hundred injured (these numbers are constantly growing).

Unsurprisingly, official media channels tell of much lower numbers. Many workers across the region have stopped work in support of the demonstrators. First oil workers of Mangystau Province started a sympathy strike, then workers of non-oil industries in the region also stopped their work in solidarity. The protests have become a general strike.

In what will probably become a 21st century standard ‘state-under-threat’ response, mobile phones in affected areas cannot be accessed, landlines do not work, Internet social networks and media are being blocked.

Of course, no mention has been made of punishing any police officers for firing on unarmed and peaceful people.The vast majority of the profits from the sale of the country’s resources are not shared with the nation’s poor, and the Kazakh government has a terrible human rights record. Time and time again members of the security forces, torture, beat, and mistreat detainees. The government continues to use arbitrary arrest and detention, and selectively prosecutes political opponents, often detaining them for long periods.

One might say that the spirit of the Arab spring has been taken up by Central Asians, but with the current low media interest (apart from a few newspapers here and there), there isn’t the same pressure on president Nazarbayev that there has been on Middle-Eastern leaders this past year (and they weren’t exactly exactly keen to fold up that pressure in any event).

However, Kazakhs don’t need to look as far away as the Arab world for inspiration. Another ex-Soviet Central Asian country, Kyrgystan, chucked out their despotic president Bakiyev in April 2010, following riots and demonstrations that led to Bakiyev’s ousting and the formation of a transitional government, headed by former philosophy lecturer Roza Otunbayeva. And what country did Bakiyev flee to? Kazakhstan.

No doubt president Nazarbaev has double checked his private jets are full of fuel and that his Swiss bank cashcard is still valid. Just in case.

Politicos hide as US `occupy` jobless get Wild

image David Sachs with thanks

After visiting 94 offices on Capitol Hill Tuesday, unemployed demonstrators targeted a Newt Gingrich fundraising event on Wednesday night. The hotel, like many of the representatives’ offices, locked its doors to the demonstrators, who are in D.C. with a group called “Take Back the Capitol.” Wednesday night the demonstrators called for Gingrich to discuss his jobs plans with the “99% outside” protesting, rather than the “1% who are contributing thousands to his campaign,” according to a press release sent out by organizers. Gingrich never came out.

“Take Back the Capitol” is made up of “unemployed and underemployed people from every state, students, community activists, union members, healthcare advocates, and travelers from Occupy sites from coast to coast,” according to the group’s website. Organized labor has helped coordinate three days’ worth of Capitol Hill protests under that banner.

The protesters are in D.C. as Congress is expected to vote on extending unemployment insurance to 2.2 million unemployed workers who face losing their benefits if the legislation is not passed.

Today, Senate Republicans blocked a vote on President Obama’s nomination to lead the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Congress created the bureau, which was the brain child of Massachussets Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, during last year’s financial reforms. But Republicans have worked to strip its authority ever since, and have vowed not to confirm a director for it. Obama is weighing a recess appointment, which would circumvent the Senate vote.

Meanwhile, many of the demonstrators are using cameras on their mobile phones to upload images of members of Congress ignoring them. In the video below, Congressman Joe Walsh, who represents Illinois’ 8th District, was caught on video fleeing from his constituents. “We’ve been waiting a few hours to speak with you congressman,” a woman is heard saying as Walsh races down a set of stair. “You can at least acknowledge us,” the woman says once she realizes the congressman is fleeing.

California Rep. Elton Gallegly, a Republican who represents most of Ventura County and inland Santa Barbara Couny, at least acknowledged the demonstrators with a “Merry Christmas,” but he then ran quickly behind locked doors.

“Even when one of his constituents presented herself and tried to talk to him, he just kept saying ‘Merry Christmas,’” Esperanza Arrizon, a youth leader with Good Jobs LA, wrote about the event. According to her, before the congressman ran behind closed doors he did have one question for demonstrators, “I just donated 750 gifts to needy children, how many of you can say you did that?”

The event is being organized by several community groups by the American Dream Movement, a partnership between several groups including MoveOn.org, SEIU and other progressive, labor, and faith-based organizations.

Release Mumia Abu-Jamal NOW NOW NOW

“Because Mumia has for thirty years been subjected to torture on death row and because he is innocent, justice for Mumia will not be served by life imprisonment, but by his release from prison.”

Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams announced Wednesday this office has called off their 30-year battle to execute former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal for allegedly murdering a white police officer, the Associated Press reports. The decision comes just two days short of the 30th anniversary of the killing.

Supporters and advocates who argue Abu-Jamal is not guilty say Williams’ decision shouldn’t be a surprise.

“Now that it is clear that Mumia should never have been on death row in the first place, justice will not be served by relegating him to prison for the rest of his life—yet another form of death sentence. Based on even a minimal following of international human rights standards, Mumia must now be released,” South African activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu said in a statement sent out by FreeMumia.com.

“I therefore join the call, and ask others to follow, asking District Attorney Seth Williams to rise to the challenge of reconciliation, human rights, and justice: drop this case now, and allow Mumia Abu-Jamal to be immediately released, with full time served,” Tutu continued.

“The news that the DA’s Office of Philadelphia is no longer seeking the death penalty for Mumia is no news to supporters of the nearly 30 year Pennsylvania Death Row prisoner,” Dr. Johanna Fernandez wrote in a statement to the Loop21.com. Fernandez is a U.S. History professor at Baruch College and an advocate who’s been working on Abu-Jamal’s case for several years.

“Because Mumia has for thirty years been subjected to torture on death row and because he is innocent, justice for Mumia will not be served by life imprisonment, but by his release from prison.”

Fernandez, who produced a documentary on Abu-Jamal, explains the conditions today of the Pennsylvania courts that found Abu-Jamal guilty and describes his prison cell. From Loop21.com:

We must remember that the same Pennsylvania courts that are being denounced today for the mass incarceration of juveniles are the same courts that framed Mumia. Pennsylvania has more juveniles serving life than any other state in the nation. The backdrop of constitutional violations in Mumia’s case include: routine corruption, evidence tampering, prosecutorial misconduct, judicial racism, discrimination in jury selection, and the disproportionate incarceration of African Americans and Latinos. The issue of mass incarceration of black and Latino males is one of the gravest civil rights crises of our time.

We’re sobered by the realization that for 30 years an international movement kept Abu-Jamal alive long enough for the appeals process to run its course. But what if the movement hadn’t kept him alive? For 30 years Abu-Jamal has been forced to withstand tortured isolation in a windowless cell the size of a small bathroom. For thirty years the threat of execution has hung over his head, and he’s not been allowed to touch his children or his grandchildren, or his wife and siblings, or his friends.

Supporters of Abu-Jamal, including Princeton professor Cornel West and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, have a symposium planned for Friday at the National Constitution Center for the man they call an “innocent revolutionary and celebrated journalist.”
