Brazil: If I can´t dance, it is not my #BRevolution

#BRevolution, Brazilian remixed shout for Global Spring

The sleeping giant is waking up. Brazil is awakening from the Fake Progress Dream of the 1%. Brazilians are taking the streets, but the media only talks about macro politics. Brazilian youth-and-not-so are demanding other economic, civic and social ways. But the media hides the facts:

political assemblies in public, occupations of municipal assemblies (as Belo Horizontes´s occupation),

new networked collectives fighting for the right to the city, for political participation… Continue reading “Brazil: If I can´t dance, it is not my #BRevolution”

Patriarchal power: from Witch Dunking to Family Courts

According to a report released by the United Nations World Heath Organization (WHO), 35 percent

of women around the world experience some form of physical or sexual violence, whether by an intimate partner or stranger, and the problem is so widespread that it is now considered a global public health problem.

While legislative actions are commendable, to date these measures have not led to a world free from violence—women continue to be subject to it, the media continues to report it, activists continue to fight against it and we end up in a perpetuating cycle of institutional inertia.

Perhaps we need to look more closely at the history and present day use of Patriarchal Power…..

Putin and the Patriarch jailed Pussy Riot, only to see the Femen movement take off.

Patriarchal power: an insidious double-bind that undermines mental health Continue reading “Patriarchal power: from Witch Dunking to Family Courts”

Super typhoon Huanang/Soulic heads for Taipei..265kph gusts now

Huanang/Soulic is the first serious typhoon of the season.

Already some forecasters say it could be a top level Super Typhoon.

Latests forecasts put it’s route more to the south..

It’s now predicted to slam into the northern tip of Taiwan, that is Taipei, Keelung and Wenshan where over 4 million people live.

Especially exposed are the eastern coastal cities of Luodong, Yilan and Toucheng.

Let’s hope Soulic changes course and stays at sea!

Note. One effect of Climate Change is more and more wild weather.

At present there is NO international agreement to control fossil fuel burning (oil, coal gas)

It’s almost too late already to stop emissions at a safe level, because they are cumulative and

take decades to take effect.

Please please if you’re affected by Huaning/Soulic try to get compensation and force the authorities to address climate change.

Gas Amazónico: new book exposes Ethnocide and Ecocide

Repsol in Camisea, Peru: Perpetrating

another ethnocide?

The book Gas Amazónico “Amazon Gas ” exposes those responsible for the violation of the Rights to Life of peoples living in voluntary isolation.

by Marc Gavaldà.- The oil companies that are to exploit the Camisea Fields are operating with highly favpourable terms with questionable practices that violate the rights of native communities. The inaccessibility and lack of witnesses, combined with misleading government complicity and corporate image and community relations campaigns, allow Repsol, Petrobras, Hunt and Pluspetrol , the operating companies of lots 56,57,58 and 88, to act with a comfortable margin of impunity.

The book Gas Amazónico, a study under the Environmental Governability Program-ENGOV-which was recently published by the Icaria Editorial, provides new evidence of the misdeeds of these companies on both banks of the Urubamba River, south of the Peruvian Amazon.

There, dozens of indigenous communities, peoples Matsiguenga, Yne yami, Ashaninka and Kakinte have been entrapped to carry out an unprecedented industrialization of their territory.
