Femicide: this body is mine, don’t touch..rape..kill

Rosemary Gonzalez was murdered in 2009, the victim of a war that ended in 1996. One day, 17-year-old Rosemary said good-bye to her mother Betty, walked out of their small house on the outskirts of Guatemala City and was never seen alive again.

Rosemary and Betty lived together in the poor neighborhood of Barcenas, under the constant shadow of violence. Across Guatemala, nearly 5,000 women have been killed in the past decade, attacked for the simple fact of being women. The women of Barcenas know well this fear—they live at the epicenter of this crisis.

In Guatemala, generations of women have faced murderous violence, but at its core is war. Now, the same dynamic is emerging in Iraq.

The Latin American women’s movement has given this crisis a name: femicide. It is defined by various forms of gender-based violence against women, including murder, and characterized by impunity for perpetrators and a lack of justice processes for victims. It occurs in conditions of social upheaval, armed conflict, violence between powerful rival gangs and militias, rapid economic transformation and the demise of traditional forms of state law enforcement.

For Guatemalan women, particularly those who are young, poor or Indigenous, the war against them continues — and Rosemary is one of its victims.

Young women in Rosemary’s community of Barcenas have few options other than backbreaking work in themaquilas (sweatshops) for meager pay. After long shifts, they walk home at night, looking over their shoulders for the attack they know could come at any moment…..

In Iraq, the U.S. invasion in 2003 also triggered a surge in violence against women. The overthrow of the Ba’ath regime ended decades of nominally secular rule, in which women consolidated certain human rights gains. The U.S. occupation brought to power Islamists whose vision of the world hinged on a fundamentalist policing of social roles for women.

Grassroots Responses

In Guatemala, a grassroots organization called the Women Workers’ Committee has created an oasis of safety for women and girls. They organize workshops and community watch groups to help

this body is mine..dont touch..don't rape..dont KILL

women know their rights to life, health and decent work and to enhance their safety. They provide crucial counseling for traumatized women and girls and legal services for families of murdered women. Guatemalan women have learned a bitter lesson. The crucible of war allowed violence against women to become entrenched in communities. Femicide has become the “new normal,” something women must think about every day.

Guatemala’s long history of slaughter by US and local ‘white’ fascist rulers

“School of the Americas Watch is where I first came across the involvement of the Zetas with the cartels. Then I saw a website by Mothers of the murdered young women of Juarez accusing the Zetas of being involved in the torture killings of their daughters. The saddest part of all is that Guatemalan Kaibiles, notorious death squads trained by US Special Forces and known for disemboweling pregnant Mayan women in Guatemala and Chiapas at Acteal, also have been working for the cartels as many of them mutinied as well for more money. “Both Zetas and Kaibiles have been hired as mercenaries in Iraq. Kaibiles were even hired as UN Peacekeepers in the Congo! So called Peacekeepers have been killing and raping in Haiti, the Congo and Bosnia.” There is more information:

Change to NH3 fuel..Cheaper, safer, no CO2, no SOx, .

Recently I discovered that a CO2 -free fuel for internal combustion engines already exists and would be cheaper and less dangerous than petroleum products.
MUCH less dangerous as burning it produces no SOx, no Carbon Monoxide, very low NOx etc which worldwide
cause hundreds of thousands of extra deaths from respiratory diseases every year.
WHY then don’t we use it?? Because the oil corporations have us hooked on their products.
I was inspired to publicize the existence of  NH3 fuel in a small way with this blog and Farcebook.
Incredibly when publicized as an Event there was little interest..MORE AGAINST THAN IN FAVOUR.
People cant believe it and see me as one more internet crank. The best response so far comes from Anne J., see below,
  • i have visited your page, also followed the links that i could find, now need to research the claims before i can like or share, as i could not find a simple to understand explanation of how this technology works… as time is of the essence, doubling up my time when such a simple explanation probably already exists to enable understanding by everyday people (who do not hold chemical/mechanical engineering degrees) would see your page, and this technology, greater general public awareness.
    Warm regards
    Anne
  • REPLY….. TheFree Mikegilli
  • thanks ANNE FOR YOUR SUGGESTION.. I didn’t realize this was an issue and will try to find such an explanation. however I fear that no matter how it is explained, nobody will listen to me, when lots of credible scientists have been ignored for so many years. One angle I thought of was appealing to people suffering respiratory illnesses linked to pollution from oil based motors.
What can I say.? The corporations and markets are lauding and rewarding a small army of influential Bloggers who ridicule scientific articles and evidence on anything that doesnt give them more short term profit, including NH3 fuel,  as well as promoting fracking and Tar Sands as another bonanza for greedy investors. For Example Geoffrey Styles’ article here https://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/ex-texaco-guru-relegates-co2-free-nh3/
NH3 fuel is a reformist proposal, (we really need a world revolution), but it could save millions of lives and be a key element in preventing catastrophic climate change. All it needs is a few thousand activists to seriously promote the idea.
Greg’s CO2-free ammonia cars

All I can do here is reprint the Wikipedia article.

Ammonia as a Fuel

Ammonia was used during World War II to power buses in Belgium, and in engine and solar energy applications prior to 1900. Liquid ammonia was used as the fuel of the rocket airplane, the X-15. Although not as powerful as other fuels, it left no soot in the reusable rocket engine and its density approximately matches the density of the oxidizer, liquid oxygen, which simplified the aircraft’s design.

Ammonia has been proposed as a practical alternative to fossil fuel for internal combustion engines.[39] The calorific value of ammonia is 22.5 MJ/kg (9690 BTU/lb) which is about half that of diesel. In a normal engine, in which the water vapour is not condensed, the calorific value of ammonia will be about 21% less than this figure. It can be used in existing engines with only minor modifications to carburettors/injectors.

To meet these demands, significant capital would be required to increase present production levels. Although the second most produced chemical, the scale of ammonia production is a small fraction of world petroleum usage. It could be manufactured from renewable energy sources, as well as coal or nuclear power. It is however significantly less efficient than batteries.[citation needed] The 60 MW Rjukan dam in Telemark, Norway produced ammonia via electrolysis of water for many years from 1913 producing fertilizer for much of Europe. If produced from coal, the CO2 can be readily sequestered [39][40] (the combustion products are nitrogen and water). In 1981 a Canadian company converted a 1981 Chevrolet Impala to operate using ammonia as fuel.[41][42]

Ammonia engines or ammonia motors, using ammonia as a working fluid, have been proposed and occasionally used.[43] The principle is similar to that used in a fireless locomotive, but with ammonia as the working fluid, instead of steam or compressed air. Ammonia engines were used experimentally in the 19th century by Goldsworthy Gurney in the UK and in streetcars in New Orleans in the USA.

Hoare’s murder let police, Coulson, Cameron, Murdoch off hook

 

Who killed Sean Hoare?

Not me, said the drink, though his liver I did shrink

Not I..said the press, though we made him a mess

Not us said the coppers, though he wanted to shop us

Not me said Murdoch, though he mired me in muck

Not  us said Cameron and Coolson  though that would be fun

It was I, said MI5.. Would I tell a lie!

Who killed Sean Hoare?

               ……………………. apologies for the doggerell

Chief suspect so far  is not Murdoch’s mafia, but MI5, the huge secretive control apparatus dedicated to protecting the criminal British State and ruling class.

from..death of News of the World whistleblower “not suspicious?”

By Chris Marsden 20 July 2011   The morning after Hoare’s body was found, former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson and his former deputy, John Yates, were to give evidence before a home affairs select committee. Stephenson had tendered his resignation Sunday and Yates Monday. They were to be quizzed by MPs on their failure to pursue any serious investigation into phone hacking or on the bribing of police officers. This was to be followed by the quizzing of News Corporation head Rupert Murdoch, his son James, chairman of News International, and former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks.

The death of Hoare means that his testimony will never be heard by any such inquiry or, more importantly, by any criminal investigation that may arise.

His public statements to date—coming from within News International, News Corp’s UK arm—are highly damaging. Last year, Hoare gave interviews to the New York Times and the BBC in which he said Coulson knew about hacking that was “endemic” and part of the “culture at News International.”

A week ago, Hoare told the New York Times about journalists making payments to the police, and about the use of “pinging”—locating people via their mobile phone signals, a technology supposedly to be used only for anti-terror purposes. He alleged that News of the World executive Greg Miskiw had used such techniques. He said journalists were able to purchase the mobile phone tracking data from police for £300.

A Guardian report also notes that Hoare’s body was found at 10:40 am, but “It was not until after 9 pm, two hours after news broke that the phone hacking whistleblower had been found dead, that more uniformed and plainclothes police arrived at the scene. At about 9:15 pm, a police van marked Scientific Services Unit pulled up at the address, where a police car was already parked.”

The immediate response of the Hertfordshire police was to issue a public statement declaring his death to be “unexplained but not thought to be suspicious.” The statement is at the very least extraordinary, and at worst sinister in its implications.

The British establishment have been quick to close ranks in attacking Sean.. a mere ‘Arsenal and Labour supporter’ and ‘drunken hack’. The police persecuted him from the start, treating him as a criminal suspect. The newspaper NOWS paid him to mix with celebrity coke addicts then fired him for complaining .

 

 

15M.”La calle es nuestra. No pagaremos su crisis”.

El miércoles, un cordón policial establecido por los Mossos d’Esquadra en la calle Marqués de la Argentera impidió que  la manifestación que habían convocado en protesta por los recortes  llegara al Parlament de Catalunya, en el parque de la Ciutadella.

Ante la imposibilidad de acceder al parque, los organizadores improvisaron una asamblea  ante  el edificio de la Estació de França de las más de 30.000 personas que según ellos participaron  en la marcha —7.500 según los  Mossos y la Guardia Urbana–.

La manifestación se inició en la plaza Catalunya de Barcelona tras una pancarta que rezaba “La calle es nuestra. No pagaremos su crisis”.    En primer lugar, la marcha  se dirigió al edificio de la Bolsa, que estaba custodiada por cuatro furgonetas de los antidisturbios de los Mossos d’Esquadra y con su perímetro vallado. Los indignados  lanzaron consignas contra la Bolsa como “¡Manos arriba esto es un atraco!” y “¡No hay pan para tanto chorizo!”.  No se produjeron incidentes.

Pintadas y carteles

Los manifestantes siguieron después su camino hacia el Parlament, pasando por delante de la sede de la patronal Fomento del Trabajo, en un marcha en la que se tardaba 20 minutos en recorrer la distancia entre la cabecera y la cola.

Al paso por la calle Consell de Cent,  algunas personas  pintaron los escaparates de  tiendas de productos de lujo, como la de Ferrari –que cerró su puerta principal–, con leyendas como “Vuestro lujo es nuevas miseria” y “Miles de personas durmiendo en la calle. Esto es violencia”.

También colocaron carteles en las sucursales bancarias con la palabra “Culpable” y han exhibido otra pancarta con el lema “La usura es la justificación de la estafa”. Entre los manifestantes también se encontraban colectivos de emigrantes.

Hoare accused Coulson, Cameron’s aide, before death

 A former News of the World journalist who blew the whistle on the extent of phone hacking was found dead Monday.

A week ago David Cameron described Andy Coulson as “a friend” and insisted he would be a “pretty unpleasant sort of person” if he turned on his former aide.

Sean Hoare, 47, who accused his former editor, Andy Coulson, of complicity in the illegal activity, was discovered dead at his home days after he made a series of fresh allegations against the paper

When the Murdochs and Rebekah Brooks go before the culture, media and sport committee, some members will be intent on asking questions about Andy Coulson, David Cameron’s former communications director, in an attempt to bring the crisis closer to the door of number 10.

Mr Hoare was found dead in his Watford home on Monday after neighbours reported him missing.

In an interview with the New York Times last September, he claimed he had played taped recordings of hacked messages to Mr Coulson when they both worked at The Sun.

When Mr Hoare moved to the NOTW he said Mr Coulson “actively encouraged” him to hack into phone messages.

In September 2010, he was also interviewed on BBC Radio 4’s PM programme and alleged that Mr Coulson had lied to Parliament when he denied knowing about phone-hacking.

Mr Coulson was the former ‘spin doctor’ of Prime minister David Cameron.

75 Anniversary Spanish Revolution

A  propósito  de  la  Spanish  Revolution…

Vivimos tiempos de Spanish Revolution. Pero hoy estamos aquí por otra revolución española, la Revolución de 1936. Para algunos esta fecha resuena a la Guerra Civil. Pero, en paralelo a la guerra, en este país vivió uno de los procesos revolucionarios más importantes de la historia de la Humanidad. La Segunda República no satisfacía el hambre de justicia del pueblo.

Los poderosos, temiendo la revolución popular que acabase con sus privilegios, animaron un golpe de estado con el fin de someter, violencia mediante, el ansia de libertad del pueblo español. Pero se encontraron con una desagradable sorpresa: El pueblo no se quedó de brazos cruzados presentó batalla.

El golpe de estado fracasó en gran parte del país. Por desgracia para las mentes de bien, los golpistas se hicieron fuertes en la otra parte de España. La guerra estaba servida.

Este mismo pueblo que presentó batalla e hizo fracasar el golpe de estado en la mitad de la piel de toro, no se conformó y construyó uno de los ejemplos revolucionarios más importantes de la Historia. Fábricas y granjas fueron tomadas y gestionadas directamente por los obreros.

El  pueblo,  la  clase  trabajadora,  organizada  y  articulada  por  medio  de  las  organizaciones
revolucionarias, tomó las riendas de la gestión de la cosa pública

Pero sin dirigentes ni dirigidos:  Una  auténtica  revolución  socialista,  una  auténtica  revolución  libertaria.  Esta
revolución demostró que el pueblo organizado no necesita del Estado, de los parlamentos, de
los patronos ni de los macarras de la moral.

Es un ejemplo que aún ilumina el espíritu de
muchos de nosotros.

Sean Hoare dead. Police deny suspicions.

Why don’t the police tell the truth?

How can Sean’s death be both ‘unexplained’ and ‘have no suspicious circumstances’??

Are the police qualified to investigate his death…since they themselves are

implicated in the disgusting scandal and even their boss had to resign??

Why would Sean conveniently overdose just when he’s been proved right all along??

See Craig’s report below…

Death of Sean Hoare  by craig on July 18, 2011

The best whistleblower so far from inside News International has just been found dead. Hertfordshire Police, either incredibly stupid or incredibly corrupt, have just been quoted on Sky News as saying there are “No suspicious circumstances”.

Whaether this is a convenient heart attack or a Kelly type “suicide” remains to be seen. Maybe the Met mistook him for a suicide bomber and pumped several shots into his head. With the exception of Kelly, this is possibly the most suspicious death of my lifetime. “No suspicious circumstances”. WTF!!

Sean Hoare’s testimony that Andy Coulson knew of individual phone hacking operations is pretty well certain to be true. I have written many times for national newspapers, and wherever I have written disparagingly about anybody, I have had to give my evidence. I have even, for example, been called in actually to meet the legal advisers at the Mail and discuss my evidence. The idea that journalists were not telling Coulson where they got their stories, or for what purpose they were laying out tens of thousands of pounds, is simply not practically possible. Same goes for the period when Rebekah was editor.

Sean Hoare’s testimony was plainly, absolutely true. His death discourages other whistleblowers a bit, doesn’t it? If the inquiries into News International are going to have any credibility, they are going to need a witness protection programme – from which the Met are totally excluded.
