the ravages of neoliberalism HAITI
The 7.0 quake was so devastating in Haiti because it hit an urban extremely poor and overpopulated
houses built on each other, made even the hands of poor
And the accumulation of many years of underdevelopment and political chaos has meant that the Haitian government was unable to answer such a disaster
Let me explain why so Haitians, 2 to 4 million, live in the area of Port-au-Prince
It is largely the result of policies of the United States, according to their development model for poor countries
From 1957 to 1971, Haitians lived under the shadow of Papa Doc Duvalier
A brutal dictator who had the full support of the U.S. because he was seen as a reliable anti-communist
After his death, his son Jean-Claude Baby Doc became president for life at age 19, he ruled the country until he was overthrown in 1986
was during the years 1970 and 1980, Baby Doc and Washington, and investors have the capital Port-au-Prince on the way to what became the city January 12, 2010
After the crowning of baby doc, they started their plan to make Taiwan the Caribbean Haiti
Haiti has been ordered to abandon its agrarian past and develop a sector Robust manufacturing, export-oriented
From the perspective of the World Bank and Washington, Haiti was the perfect candidate for the neo-liberal experiment: privatization, tax changes that benefit the wealthy, deregulation, cuts in social programs
The masses of poor could well be forced into jobs that bordered slavery
But we had plans for the rural also
Not only Haitian cities would become export bases, but the Haitian agriculture would be profoundly transformed into export product to open world markets, also
Open Market, which means open dumping of U.S. agricultural surpluses, heavily subsidized
Forcing Haitian peasants who could not hold on to migrate to cities, especially Port-au-Prince where manufacturing jobs would be created
But there was never enough for everyone
And the slums began to sprout like mushrooms
And to meet the housing needs of displaced peasants, buildings cheap and fast were erected, even on top of each other
Along the way, planners American and Haitian elite have decided that the development plan did not work too well in Haiti so they abandoned
But the consequences, they remain to this day
COLONIALISM IN HAITI
The U.S. and France have worked hard to break Haiti for two centuries, Canada is a more recent practice ...
These countries therefore need huge sums in Haiti ... and certainly not charity
Obama promised $ 100 million in aid after the earthquake ...
to put things in perspective, a couple of Kentucky won the lottery for $ 140M during the holidays
No, U.S. $ billions are Haitians
is that Uncle Sam has used Haiti as a plantation during its entire history
Washington has bled the country's economy since the slaves are freed them to form their own republic
The U.S. invaded Haiti repeatedly and openly supported dictators who have abused the people
and used the country to its economic advantage, ruined its roads, its agriculture and reverse democratically elected politicians
In 1804, when Haiti was ripped his freedom from the hands of France, the first successful slave revolution in the world, the U.S. refused to recognize the sovereignty of the new country
Washington has continued in its refusal Recognition for 60 years after that
All because there were millions of slaves in the U.S. ... it was feared that would recognize Haiti's encouraged to do likewise
After the 1804 revolution, Haiti was embargoed by the savage U.S. and France
The U.S. sanctions lasted until 1863
France has ultimately used its military force to compel Haiti to pay reparations for freed slaves ... at a cost of 150 million francs
Haiti was forced to borrow money to banks American and French pay for it, a major loan was finally repaid in 1947 ...
With the current value, its reimbursements to banks totaled $ 20 billion
The U.S. invaded and occupied Haiti from 1915 to 1934 killing thousands of people
For 19 years, the U.S. controlled the borders of Haiti, collected taxes and sales taxes, led several government institutions
It begs the question: how many billions the U.S. has been sucking in Haiti during these 19 years? We do not know
not forget the Duvalier father and son dictators who have stolen millions and have earned hundreds of millions of dollars in debt that Haiti must always
In fact, Haiti is still $ 1.3 billion debt External, 40% of that debt comes from the foul Duvalier
Thirty years ago, Haiti imported no rice ... now, thanks imposed the doctrine of neoliberalism, Haiti imports all its rice
Haiti has been the capital of the Caribbean cane sugar product to be imported now, too ...
All because institutions overall financial dominated by the U.S. forced Haiti to open their markets to the world
Then, the U.S. threw millions of tons of rice and sugar heavily subsidized on Haiti, destroying the agrarian sector of the coup Haitian
In 2002, U.S. have prevented hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to come Haiti, the funds that were to be used for public projects such as education and roads
The same routes that rescue teams have as much trouble navigating at the time that I speak
In 2004, the U.S. has even destroyed democracy in Haiti, when they supported the coup against the democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide
U.S. companies have agreed with the Haitian elite to fill the sweatshops of tens of thousands of Haitians who earned less than $ 2 per day
The Haitian people have resisted both although the evil military and economic power since independence from U.S.
Like all of us, Haitians make their own mistakes, too, of course
But it is the foreign states that have forced Haitians to pay the biggest price: Death, debt and abuse.
DISGUISED ATTACK ON HELP: HAITI
The need for international assistance to Haiti is without doubt extremely urgent
But the usual models of assistance in Haiti in need of serious change if the you want to prevent the current catastrophe becomes worse
Because that what I see and hear in our media everywhere is that, once again, Canada is conspicuous by his generosity and compassion for Haiti
Must be careful, because this reminds me of generosity to that which we bragged when our government directly help overthrow the elected government of Haiti in 2004
The Haitian struggle for independence and decolonization is still running, two centuries after the declaration of independence
And forever It was common practice to pass the attacks on aid to Haiti
And now more than ever, it is important to disentangle the true practice of using, say, criminal
assistance was justified for one of the greatest crimes of Canada's foreign policy of the last decade
The coup of 2004 was one of the worst attacks against a rich poor country
This intervention was preceded by years of instability and foreign
February 29, 2004, Marines occupied the presidential palace and forced President Aristide into exile in South Africa, where he remains
Canadian Troops have secured the airport from which he was forced to leave the country
Then a presidential term that would end in 2006 was violently cut
Among the alleged crimes of Aristide was the construction of a legal case for France to repay the payment extorted by France in the 19th century as compensation for lost slaves in Haiti's independence
The equivalent of 21.7 billion has now been reimbursed for decades
Dikta Aristide was also resistant to the IMF and its structural adjustment program in exchange additional loans
After the coup, paramilitary forces known for their use of torture and extrajudicial killings have targeted the main political party of the poor that led to Aristide's party Lavalas
In At that time, in 2004, I was deeply shocked by the message of our mass media that it had all turned into a gesture of charity to help poor Haitians who can not do anything for themselves ... blindly following the main message of the Liberal government of Paul Martin
During the summer of 2004, the Canadian military has opened the way for involvement of police units from Canada, especially Quebec, Montreal
While funding the installation of the puppet government of Gerard Latortue
Who were all violently suppressed the movement which demanded the return of ousted president was
a period of mass imprisonment without courts, prisons filled with political prisoners
The round of destabilization and repression was an exclamation point over a long period of underdevelopment imposed
What made that we found in this time of terrible tragedy, before institutions of sovereignty infirm, putting the fate of Haiti once again into the hands of those who raped for two centuries
The danger is that these countries use the current crisis to increase their control over Haiti is real
And yet, I mean day after day since last Tuesday comments like:
Ah, that poor blacks who do not know how to deal with government and themselves
is not only absolutely racist to say that, but those who say and believe demonstrates their total ignorance of the history of Haiti and the role of aggressor played by France, the United States and Canada
ECONOMIC POLICY OF THE WILD LATVIA
All the signs of global recession are still present in the small republic of Latvia, Eastern Europe
Emigration is growing rapidly
Latvia has reached World Record history by losing 24% of its economy in just two years
The IMF predicts another very bad year in 2010, with a GNP will decline by another 4%
This will make a 30% drop in three years, surpassing the U.S. decline during the Great Depression from 1929 to 1933
Latvia is an extreme case, pensions were brutally cut, affecting mainly the poor, and we can not even estimate the long-term damage on the education system which has seen its budget cut as deeply
Nevertheless, the Government of Latvia will continue with its tax policy known as pro-cyclical, that is to say focused its efforts in macroeconomic next wave in the manner that it breaks
What is the opposite of what the world governments who prefer since last year to stimulate their economies with policies against so-called cyclic to accelerate recovery from the global depression
Pro-cyclical logic goes as follows: Latvia has a fixed exchange rate with the euro, and the government does not want that to change, so for 0.7 euro a Lat ... making it an overvalued currency
An overvalued exchange rate hurts a country's exports by making them more expensive and encourages imports by making them artificially cheap
But there is a bigger problem that this trade imbalance : the government's failure to adopt policies that lift the economy out of recession using the tax tool, monetary policy rate currencies
The Central Bank of Latvia can not implement policies expansionary monetary, for fear of the fixed rate with the euro disappear
And the only way to lower the value of their currency to the international to do so in real terms ... which means lowering wages and prices, pushing the country further down
In other words, the production of Latvia can become more competitive internationally if prices and wages are lowered while keeping the international currency with the Euro set
Although on paper, a student of economics would tell me that all this is correct, it is extremely difficult to achieve ... because this way is equivalent to proceed to cure the disease by killing the patient!
Unemployment exceeds 22% in Latvia, and despite the worldwide decline of GNP, the real exchange rate has not budged
Bearing is fixed, overvalued also creates uncertainty which cuts cause investment and capital flight
The IMF forecasts that 1.5 billion euros this year will leave Latvia
Still, the government says it does not have the choice to keep the anchor with the euro ... the alternative is worse, they say, the loss of the fixed rate would cause rampant inflation because import prices increase
And since 85% of Latvia's loans are in euros, greater fear is that a devaluation would cause bankruptcies
But this fear of inflation are greatly exaggerated ... anyway the biggest threat to economic recovery is deflation, a decline in the price index which increases the weight of public debt
A devaluation would help solve these problems
It makes no sense continue to shrink the economy of Latvia, with no end in sight to the recession, just to maintain a fixed exchange rate
Argentina has tried the same from 1998 to 2002, suffering its worst recession in history and growing 42% of households below the poverty
After the devaluation, a remarkable recovery took place with 60% growth in just 6 years
still the same, the Economy of Latvia will be even smaller in 2014 than in 2006 ... and a public debt of 90% of GNP
Where did this brilliant economic policy? Well, European governments themselves, who advance money on loan to Latvia
banks of Austria, Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands, France has hundreds of billions of euro loan to Europe Central and Eastern
Devaluation in Latvia could trigger the same in Lithuania, Estonia and Bulgaria
Increasing the number of bankruptcies on bad loans that these banks have done over the region in recent years crazy bubble hypergonflée
With its purely short-term financial, preventing Latvia to boost its economy, to invest in social programs ... within a generation, Western Europe will then be a much more serious problem in the hands
THE EXTENSION OF THE PARLIAMENT AND OMAR KHADR
Decision to extend the parliament was made inter alia in order to avoid additional questions about the scandal of torture of Afghan prisoners
Recall that the House of Commons will be closed until March, after the Olympics
The most surprising in this debate is that the detainee is held without ties to the broader issue of Canada's role in the occupation of Afghanistan
The war itself is a scandal
Torture is not a stain on our supposed humanitarian intervention in Afghanistan
torture and other violations of civil liberties are a tool of imperialist domination, what the invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, two wars in which Canada has contributed
The case of child soldier Omar Khadr illustrates the close ties between war, torture and empire
Khadr, a Canadian citizen, was 15 when he was severely wounded by a special unit of the U.S. Army on the house where his father lived, supposedly a member or supporter of al-Qaida ...
The young Khadr was charged with war crimes and murder for having, supposedly forever, throwing a grenade that killed a member of Delta Force commandos
He then declared an enemy combatant and subject to the processes of a military court where he was denied his basic rights
Khadr's lawyer argued that the U.S. military had manipulated reports on the events of the day in question in order to trap
Khadr was also learned that Khadr would have narrowly escaped from a summary execution on the day of his capture after he was shot twice at close range in the back
It does is not uncommon that special forces are accused of this kind of extra-judicial killings
So for the past seven years, Khadr has been kept in a black hole, especially in Guantanamo, Cuba
Obama's promise to close the prison has not been held, and Khadr did not appear about to regain his freedom
it will eventually be transferred identical to a prison in Illinois where his court will be held
Were it happens, it will be the first time in history that a child soldier will be tried for war crimes
two different governments were left to rot and Khadr we will probably leave be transferred to Illinois
All this, without regret Conservatives who ignore requests Repeated Canadian courts for the repatriation of a Canadian citizen
Why? Well because it's part of an ideology, that of the permanent war economy, one where the oil barons and arms manufacturers are pushing their politicians puppets to expand and maintain an empire paid by the public, and profits remain still and always privatized.
2010: INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF BIODIVERSITY
Welcome to 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity
Despite the trend to be green everywhere, to look better and better feel we have hardly slowed down the pace at which we are destroying the ecosystems of the planet
We eat more fish in danger of extinction and we still do clear cutting of tropical forests and closer home: Lights
We love nature more than ever, apparently, but as soon as economic interests are threatened, our instincts dominating
back I came across the case of a project in Wales in UK to exterminate badgers, burrowing animals in the gene Groundhog
The Assembly of Wales announced last week its intention to reduce the population of badgers in a non-selective, but pro-active as they say in the west of Wales
That means the elimination of species, starting with babies who are born in May
is that badgers carry with them bacteria that causes bovine tuberculosis
The purpose of the experiment phase is to see if the number cows with the disease will be reduced by the elimination of badgers
And if it works, the method will be applied elsewhere
Except that science said that this experience is a total waste of time and money
In 2007, after nine years of research, the Independent Scientific Group on Cattle TB sent its final report to the government of the United Kingdom
report that says black white that culling badgers does not contribute significantly to the control of bovine tuberculosis in GB
And instead of removing the disease seems to kill badgers spread
Where experience has already been conducted, the levels infection increased by 20%
is that culling badgers changes behavior
They travel and mingle with others to benefit, either to escape the massacre and to investigate the ecological space opened by the disappearance of neighbors
In the end, costs were down 40 times higher than the profits
But the elite agricultural and veterinary countries gall seems to believe, contrary to scientific evidence, that the way to solve the problem of bovine TB is to control the population of badgers
Science even says that governments should instead make sure how the herds of cattle are kept and moved and tested, but it falls on deaf ears
All this has jump my British hero, the great George Monbiot, who said that the Welsh experience has nothing to do with science and everything to do with pressure from lobbyists from the beef industry has lost the reason
The only way that the killing may be work of exterminating the entire badger population of the united kingdom
This is a great proof that all the industries that cowardly to admit it or not, says Monbiot, aimed not only a monopoly market but also a monoculture, c'east ie the domination of a natural or cultural landscape
If we let it, the industry in the capitalist market economy does not tolerate deviance ... seeking to reduce all experience in synthetic content, tailored
In this international year of biodiversity is more important than ever to keep that in mind

report that says black white that culling badgers does not contribute significantly to the control of bovine tuberculosis in GB
And instead of removing the disease seems to kill badgers spread
Where experience has already been conducted, the levels infection increased by 20%
is that culling badgers changes behavior
They travel and mingle with others to benefit, either to escape the massacre and to investigate the ecological space opened by the disappearance of neighbors
In the end, costs were down 40 times higher than the profits
But the elite agricultural and veterinary countries gall seems to believe, contrary to scientific evidence, that the way to solve the problem of bovine TB is to control the population of badgers
Science even says that governments should instead make sure how the herds of cattle are kept and moved and tested, but it falls on deaf ears
All this has jump my British hero, the great George Monbiot, who said that the Welsh experience has nothing to do with science and everything to do with pressure from lobbyists from the beef industry has lost the reason
The only way that the killing may be work of exterminating the entire badger population of the united kingdom
This is a great proof that all the industries that cowardly to admit it or not, says Monbiot, aimed not only a monopoly market but also a monoculture, c'east ie the domination of a natural or cultural landscape
If we let it, the industry in the capitalist market economy does not tolerate deviance ... seeking to reduce all experience in synthetic content, tailored
In this international year of biodiversity is more important than ever to keep that in mind

body scanners VS FOREIGN POLICY
The Harper government, following pressure from Washington has decided to move the front and install a quarantine of body scanners in Canadian airports ...
which a dozen major cities immediately in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver
There's lots of debate about it since, in the public and the media, because activities in the Canadian parliament have been suspended, recalled, until the end of the Olympics
Is this an invasion of privacy? Is it going to work this machine there?
There is the whole issue of human rights and racial profiling, too.
question to which we must now add the Yemen, where the bomb was sewn to the undergarment of the terrorist from Nigeria
All matters of security at our airports and airplanes taking off from home to avoid the central problem I think.
Instead of implementing new machinery and inflate budgets Security ... amounts that will be passed on to consumers, as usual, would seek to reverse the trend of terrorism
The obsession with safety distances us from our foreign policy
like chewing gum and walk at the same time, you'd think it would be possible to talk about security and foreign policy at the same time
yet, no, there is the issue of security throughout
So all the plaster and nothing about the source of the bohemian as of
habit So why does he want Yemen to the U.S.?
Because unmanned drones have invaded their airspace and threatened innocent people in 2002and again last month
We did not like the invasion of Iraq in 2003, not more
The first attack against the U.S. embassy had place immediately after that, well before that which was planned recently
reserves remain without terror funds especially if we continue to fill with illegal invasions, wars and what kind of foreign policy
The hostile reaction to the Western countries is not unlike what we are told, based in religion ... in the kind of nonsense, they hate our freedom
remember that Iraq was a secular country before the 2003 invasion
hit someone in the face and often enough it will return to the racial memory and tribal gods
But instead of having serious discussion of our foreign policy, we flip the ears with the discussions on air transport
This week Transport Minister John Baird has recommended a variety of filtering techniques, saying that the reality of our generation is that the we should be concerned with terrorism
it would have been fun it has a more urgent approach to climate change when he was environment minister in any case
The war on terror is so vague that it can not be defined, and it may be that it lasts forever
approach Smart is that western countries redo its entire policy towards the Muslim world
But there are too many powerful people who benefit from the current situation for this: the oil companies, arms traders, producers of body scanners
There is also a deep need to be afraid of something, to have an enemy in mind, even if it is vague and undefinable ... Should a more
war against fear to replace the war on terror ...
we hear about
NUCLEAR TERRORISM
The recent rage against a failed attempt of a Nigerian student who tried to detonate his underwear distracts us a lot right now, as to forget that terrorism is born of the actions of our governments in their foreign policy
Worse still, will consider the possibility of a terrorist act much worse than blow up a plane
make a nuclear weapon detonated in a densely populated
Such a disaster which would kill hundreds of thousands of people, not at all an impossibility
Although terrorist groups have no fissile material, ie, the equipment needed to trigger a nuclear chain reaction
therefore fissile material needed for nuclear weapons production
there is evidence that it's been a long time they try to get them
that for decades they are trying to get their hands on it, either by purchase or theft
we say that Osama bin Laden has sought to procure at least since 1992
Not only was there a dozen theft and sale of fissile material for potential terrorists, who have all allegedly been arrested
but a significant amount of nuclear weapons have been lost by countries that possess
In addition, if nuclear weapons or materials fissionable material were available to terrorists overseas ....
It would quite easy for them to have them enter the U.S.
many experts say that if our governments continue with their current policies, a nuclear attack would be almost inevitable
The problem is a combination of terrorist activity and the ease with which they could cross the U.S. border with weapons
And the accessibility of nuclear weapons and fissile materials
Terrorism, as we know, is not about to disappear
Although on the surface, war on terror seems to have produced a decline in terrorist activity, although the cause-effect relationships are not at all obvious
although police activity has reduced the possibilities of terrorist acts, acts of terror are almost inevitable in today's world
So to avoid the worst case scenario, would have access to nuclear weapons and fissile material is impossible
Quite simply, without fissile material, no nuclear explosion
there is a vast amount of material there in the world, but it is not infinite, and it is indeed possible to properly secure
But there is still no treaty on access to fissile material
such a treaty would ban production of fissile material for nuclear weapons production
there too, I do not know me, the simple solution to remove large quantities of nuclear weapons in reserve in nine countries
When I speak, there are some 23,000 nuclear weapons, especially in Russia and the U.S.
A tempting target for any serial killer
so any significant reduction of these weapons is to reduce opportunities for hands on
and schedule, although it would reduce the possibility of nuclear war, as
I hope these points will be raised during the Review Conference of the Non-proliferation is coming in May to the nations United
ATTACK ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM OF TOGO
Let's strafing the team bus Togo's football that left two dead, 8 January, in the enclave of Cabinda.
Tragedy raises the question of organizing an international competition in a country at war.
According to the secretary general of the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), Rodrigues Minga, by mistake the football team of Togo have been attacked on January 8.
FLEC fighters were planning to shoot the Angolan security forces
Which opened the way to Togo convoy as it crosses the enclave of Cabinda, located mainly in the Democratic Republic Congo
On 11 January, two FLEC rebels were arrested by the Angolan police.
Behind this attack there as is often the case in Africa, a complex mixture of history, geography, oil and politics
Today, Angola is a country at peace, while the devastation of the long civil war from 1975 to 1992 becomes a bad memory
Except for the province of Cabinda, a coastal enclave that has no common border with the rest of the country
Cabinda has for several years a dangerous region because of the separatist insurgency operating the Mayombe rainforest
Now the blame rain around since the attack on January 8 against the football team of Togo who was moving his opening match at the African Cup of Nations
we asked why the players of Togo were conducted in Pointe Noire in Congo to the city of Cabinda
For the Liberation Front of the Enclave of Cabinda, FLEC, it was an irresistible invitation
The group launched a series attacks over the past two years
When the civil war in Angola ended in 2002, Angola has deployed about 30,000 troops Cabinda, for a population of 300 000
Nevertheless, the army has not been able to eliminate the threat of violence from the FLEC has several independent
aspirations range from FLEC decentralization, autonomy to full independence
And the attack against the football team of Togo reflects this fragmentation
Two factions of FLEC, the military position and FLEC-FAC claim responsibility for the attack during that others will distance
So this conflict, as many struggle for independence in Africa, has its roots in colonial times
The Cabinda region was established in 1885 as a Portuguese protectorate known as the Portuguese Congo
At a time when Angola was in full during the reign of Portugal and the Congo under Belgium
Separatists say that this region has never been administered as part of Angola
And so deserves to be considered a separate entity
Interestingly, the physical isolation of Cabinda from Angola could soon end
A Chinese company has been responsible for building a bridge 19km long, which would cross the territory of the DRC for connecting the province to Angola
The bridge, built at a cost of $ 2.55 billion expected to be completed in October 2012
But in the short term is expected to continuing insurgency operations in the northern Cabinda
During the football tournament, the security forces of Angola will do everything to prevent a future attack
but after the tournament, other operations of the FLEC are strong probable
TOWER DUBAI DEBT
The new tower in Dubai might be the symbol of the last decade must say it does not end until 2011
The building constructed at a cost of $ 1.5 billion had its unveiling Monday of last week ... it goes without saying that this is the tallest in the world
800 meters high, more than twice the height of the Empire State Building
Tower Dubai has 169 floors, the pool most high in the world, the place of worship the highest, etc. As
before the Empire State, the Dubai Tower was built at a time of global depression where cheap labor was easy to find
this marvel of engineering was built in the desert heat by workers from cheap labor abroad
mainly Indians and Pakistanis paid 5 to $ 20 per day
and it is a state secret how many have lost their lives in the process
The tower has 144 apartments and a hotel designed by Giorgio Armani
The super rich can spend their holidays and live in the tower without ever leaving
Mostly they are at ease, comfort requiring 14 million kg of ice per day for air conditioning
and consumption of billions of gallons of desalinated water in a city state that has the largest carbon consumption per capita in the world
Dubai tower was renamed the Tower Khalifa, Khalifa Burj
is that Sheikh Khalifa, the chief of the neighboring state of Abu Dhabi, Dubai has repeatedly saved from disaster Financial
There are only three weeks when the debt payments were not made
But there is none, by cons, to save people who live in the shadow of the tower
A tower abyssal debt where the rich continue to live in the stratosphere, no matter the state of the real economy
As I said, the perfect symbol of the last décennie
ROUMANIE 20 ANS APRÈS LA CHUTE DU COMMUNISME
Allons en Roumanie, un pays près de mon cœur depuis que j'ai la chance d'y aller en 2006 pour le sommet de la francophonie
il y a 20 ans, un peu avant noël, le pays est tombé dans une révolution chaotique
275 corps de jeunes hommes et de jeunes femmes ont été enterrés à Bucarest au jour de l'an en 1989
En tout, 1000 personnes ont perdu leur vie alors que les combats contre les forces communistes faisaient rage
Et là, 20 ans après la fin du régime communiste de Ceausescu
The country is in much worse unfortunately
There are no jobs, a housing crisis, no social safety net
Millions of Romanians must go abroad to find Revenue
so in two decades of economic transition to a market-based, Romania has been mired in debt
With a recent loan of $ 27 billion from the IMF, the external debt of Romania exceeds $ 100 billion
The country, at the end of communist rule, had no debt in 1989
Although wages and pensions in Romania are the lowest in Europe, though prices are comparable to those of rich countries
In 2005, 25% of Romanians were living below the poverty line
The three million Romanians have left the country since 1989 are a diaspora that sends billions to their homeland every year since
But the Romanians were not allowed to work in other European countries before 2014, they have signed contracts Temporary Epsagne, Italy and Germany for not much
Those who suffer most are the 300,000 children left behind in villages
Who is to blame for disaster transformation of the Romanian economy?
Who sold all businesses, farms, and who failed to established a solid infrastructure?
Ironically, the Communists. Since 1989, these are only the former communists in power ... and they sold out to line their pockets.
GOVERNMENTS VS PROGRESSIVE MEDIA RIGHT
past month in Ecuador there is a fight for media regulation
That makes the headlines in recent weeks, often daily
It reacts very strong against the government's decision to close a major television station for three days from December 22 to 25
And as is usually the case with private media monopolies are challenged by government
progressive point of view presented by these companies and their powerful ally the U.S. is biased and simplistic
Ecuador with his leftist government, faces the same challenges that all center-left governments of Latin America
Private media are dominated by corporate monopolization, and often highly partisan right, totally opposed to socio-economic reforms Progressive voters chose
As I said, all progressive governments had to face this challenge
In Argentina, a new media law is to break the monopoly held by media group Clarin, which controls 60% of media in the country
The Brazilian government has created for the first time in 2007, a public television channel
The Government of Bolivia, who faces the most hostile media in the hemisphere, has also been involved in public media
it's all in order to bring some media toward the center, away some content of interest that affect only the rich and upper middle class
Left or right, the most important thing is that all media adhere to the norms and principles of journalism, that is to say away from the pure disinformation media are a direct partisan political actor
In the case of Ecuador, have to say why the channel Teleamazonas was suspended for three days because for the second time in a year
The news of this channel have released a new fake that led to social disruption
During the first offense, a fine has been deposited
The news was that the government's electoral commission has a clandestine center that handles the election results ... new completely false
The second offense, committed in May, was a false report saying that given the exploration for natural gas to the island of Puna, the people there could not fish for six months
So all well deserved to suspend the station for three days ... especially if the evidence is there as is the case that stories were fabricated
The best solution for progressive governments, I believe, will introduce more competition in the media, increase the diversity of voices
The proposed law on media in Argentina could spread more equitably among the media the private, public and community
It is possible that Ecuador should go in the same direction
These changes are very important in a region where the coverage of Internet visits than a third of the population
And so the vast majority of people take their news from TV and radio should be noted
, the supposed defenders of freedom of speech, that the airwaves are public property, a lien fee, but certainly not a right
Until the day when the media become more democratic structure in Latin America, there will be conflicts between governments so progressive and right-wing media
course it is possible that governments abuse their regulatory authority
but so far it has always been the other way
The private media have the right abused their power and their control over the means of communication, so as to undermine the democratic process

The hostile reaction to the Western countries is not unlike what we are told, based in religion ... in the kind of nonsense, they hate our freedom
remember that Iraq was a secular country before the 2003 invasion
hit someone in the face and often enough it will return to the racial memory and tribal gods
But instead of having serious discussion of our foreign policy, we flip the ears with the discussions on air transport
This week Transport Minister John Baird has recommended a variety of filtering techniques, saying that the reality of our generation is that the we should be concerned with terrorism
it would have been fun it has a more urgent approach to climate change when he was environment minister in any case
The war on terror is so vague that it can not be defined, and it may be that it lasts forever
approach Smart is that western countries redo its entire policy towards the Muslim world
But there are too many powerful people who benefit from the current situation for this: the oil companies, arms traders, producers of body scanners
There is also a deep need to be afraid of something, to have an enemy in mind, even if it is vague and undefinable ... Should a more
war against fear to replace the war on terror ...
we hear about
NUCLEAR TERRORISM
The recent rage against a failed attempt of a Nigerian student who tried to detonate his underwear distracts us a lot right now, as to forget that terrorism is born of the actions of our governments in their foreign policy
Worse still, will consider the possibility of a terrorist act much worse than blow up a plane
make a nuclear weapon detonated in a densely populated
Such a disaster which would kill hundreds of thousands of people, not at all an impossibility
Although terrorist groups have no fissile material, ie, the equipment needed to trigger a nuclear chain reaction
therefore fissile material needed for nuclear weapons production
there is evidence that it's been a long time they try to get them
that for decades they are trying to get their hands on it, either by purchase or theft
we say that Osama bin Laden has sought to procure at least since 1992
Not only was there a dozen theft and sale of fissile material for potential terrorists, who have all allegedly been arrested
but a significant amount of nuclear weapons have been lost by countries that possess
In addition, if nuclear weapons or materials fissionable material were available to terrorists overseas ....
It would quite easy for them to have them enter the U.S.
many experts say that if our governments continue with their current policies, a nuclear attack would be almost inevitable
The problem is a combination of terrorist activity and the ease with which they could cross the U.S. border with weapons
And the accessibility of nuclear weapons and fissile materials
Terrorism, as we know, is not about to disappear
Although on the surface, war on terror seems to have produced a decline in terrorist activity, although the cause-effect relationships are not at all obvious
although police activity has reduced the possibilities of terrorist acts, acts of terror are almost inevitable in today's world
So to avoid the worst case scenario, would have access to nuclear weapons and fissile material is impossible
Quite simply, without fissile material, no nuclear explosion
there is a vast amount of material there in the world, but it is not infinite, and it is indeed possible to properly secure
But there is still no treaty on access to fissile material
such a treaty would ban production of fissile material for nuclear weapons production
there too, I do not know me, the simple solution to remove large quantities of nuclear weapons in reserve in nine countries
When I speak, there are some 23,000 nuclear weapons, especially in Russia and the U.S.
A tempting target for any serial killer
so any significant reduction of these weapons is to reduce opportunities for hands on
and schedule, although it would reduce the possibility of nuclear war, as
I hope these points will be raised during the Review Conference of the Non-proliferation is coming in May to the nations United
ATTACK ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM OF TOGO
Let's strafing the team bus Togo's football that left two dead, 8 January, in the enclave of Cabinda.
Tragedy raises the question of organizing an international competition in a country at war.
According to the secretary general of the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), Rodrigues Minga, by mistake the football team of Togo have been attacked on January 8.
FLEC fighters were planning to shoot the Angolan security forces
Which opened the way to Togo convoy as it crosses the enclave of Cabinda, located mainly in the Democratic Republic Congo
On 11 January, two FLEC rebels were arrested by the Angolan police.
Behind this attack there as is often the case in Africa, a complex mixture of history, geography, oil and politics
Today, Angola is a country at peace, while the devastation of the long civil war from 1975 to 1992 becomes a bad memory
Except for the province of Cabinda, a coastal enclave that has no common border with the rest of the country
Cabinda has for several years a dangerous region because of the separatist insurgency operating the Mayombe rainforest
Now the blame rain around since the attack on January 8 against the football team of Togo who was moving his opening match at the African Cup of Nations
we asked why the players of Togo were conducted in Pointe Noire in Congo to the city of Cabinda
For the Liberation Front of the Enclave of Cabinda, FLEC, it was an irresistible invitation
The group launched a series attacks over the past two years
When the civil war in Angola ended in 2002, Angola has deployed about 30,000 troops Cabinda, for a population of 300 000
Nevertheless, the army has not been able to eliminate the threat of violence from the FLEC has several independent
aspirations range from FLEC decentralization, autonomy to full independence
And the attack against the football team of Togo reflects this fragmentation
Two factions of FLEC, the military position and FLEC-FAC claim responsibility for the attack during that others will distance
So this conflict, as many struggle for independence in Africa, has its roots in colonial times
The Cabinda region was established in 1885 as a Portuguese protectorate known as the Portuguese Congo
At a time when Angola was in full during the reign of Portugal and the Congo under Belgium
Separatists say that this region has never been administered as part of Angola
And so deserves to be considered a separate entity
Interestingly, the physical isolation of Cabinda from Angola could soon end
A Chinese company has been responsible for building a bridge 19km long, which would cross the territory of the DRC for connecting the province to Angola
The bridge, built at a cost of $ 2.55 billion expected to be completed in October 2012
But in the short term is expected to continuing insurgency operations in the northern Cabinda
During the football tournament, the security forces of Angola will do everything to prevent a future attack
but after the tournament, other operations of the FLEC are strong probable
TOWER DUBAI DEBT
The new tower in Dubai might be the symbol of the last decade must say it does not end until 2011
The building constructed at a cost of $ 1.5 billion had its unveiling Monday of last week ... it goes without saying that this is the tallest in the world
800 meters high, more than twice the height of the Empire State Building
Tower Dubai has 169 floors, the pool most high in the world, the place of worship the highest, etc. As
before the Empire State, the Dubai Tower was built at a time of global depression where cheap labor was easy to find
this marvel of engineering was built in the desert heat by workers from cheap labor abroad
mainly Indians and Pakistanis paid 5 to $ 20 per day
and it is a state secret how many have lost their lives in the process
The tower has 144 apartments and a hotel designed by Giorgio Armani
The super rich can spend their holidays and live in the tower without ever leaving
Mostly they are at ease, comfort requiring 14 million kg of ice per day for air conditioning
and consumption of billions of gallons of desalinated water in a city state that has the largest carbon consumption per capita in the world
Dubai tower was renamed the Tower Khalifa, Khalifa Burj
is that Sheikh Khalifa, the chief of the neighboring state of Abu Dhabi, Dubai has repeatedly saved from disaster Financial
There are only three weeks when the debt payments were not made
But there is none, by cons, to save people who live in the shadow of the tower
A tower abyssal debt where the rich continue to live in the stratosphere, no matter the state of the real economy
As I said, the perfect symbol of the last décennie
ROUMANIE 20 ANS APRÈS LA CHUTE DU COMMUNISME
Allons en Roumanie, un pays près de mon cœur depuis que j'ai la chance d'y aller en 2006 pour le sommet de la francophonie
il y a 20 ans, un peu avant noël, le pays est tombé dans une révolution chaotique
275 corps de jeunes hommes et de jeunes femmes ont été enterrés à Bucarest au jour de l'an en 1989
En tout, 1000 personnes ont perdu leur vie alors que les combats contre les forces communistes faisaient rage
Et là, 20 ans après la fin du régime communiste de Ceausescu
The country is in much worse unfortunately
There are no jobs, a housing crisis, no social safety net
Millions of Romanians must go abroad to find Revenue
so in two decades of economic transition to a market-based, Romania has been mired in debt
With a recent loan of $ 27 billion from the IMF, the external debt of Romania exceeds $ 100 billion
The country, at the end of communist rule, had no debt in 1989
Although wages and pensions in Romania are the lowest in Europe, though prices are comparable to those of rich countries
In 2005, 25% of Romanians were living below the poverty line
The three million Romanians have left the country since 1989 are a diaspora that sends billions to their homeland every year since
But the Romanians were not allowed to work in other European countries before 2014, they have signed contracts Temporary Epsagne, Italy and Germany for not much
Those who suffer most are the 300,000 children left behind in villages
Who is to blame for disaster transformation of the Romanian economy?
Who sold all businesses, farms, and who failed to established a solid infrastructure?
Ironically, the Communists. Since 1989, these are only the former communists in power ... and they sold out to line their pockets.
GOVERNMENTS VS PROGRESSIVE MEDIA RIGHT
past month in Ecuador there is a fight for media regulation
That makes the headlines in recent weeks, often daily
It reacts very strong against the government's decision to close a major television station for three days from December 22 to 25
And as is usually the case with private media monopolies are challenged by government
progressive point of view presented by these companies and their powerful ally the U.S. is biased and simplistic
Ecuador with his leftist government, faces the same challenges that all center-left governments of Latin America
Private media are dominated by corporate monopolization, and often highly partisan right, totally opposed to socio-economic reforms Progressive voters chose
As I said, all progressive governments had to face this challenge
In Argentina, a new media law is to break the monopoly held by media group Clarin, which controls 60% of media in the country
The Brazilian government has created for the first time in 2007, a public television channel
The Government of Bolivia, who faces the most hostile media in the hemisphere, has also been involved in public media
it's all in order to bring some media toward the center, away some content of interest that affect only the rich and upper middle class
Left or right, the most important thing is that all media adhere to the norms and principles of journalism, that is to say away from the pure disinformation media are a direct partisan political actor
In the case of Ecuador, have to say why the channel Teleamazonas was suspended for three days because for the second time in a year
The news of this channel have released a new fake that led to social disruption
During the first offense, a fine has been deposited
The news was that the government's electoral commission has a clandestine center that handles the election results ... new completely false
The second offense, committed in May, was a false report saying that given the exploration for natural gas to the island of Puna, the people there could not fish for six months
So all well deserved to suspend the station for three days ... especially if the evidence is there as is the case that stories were fabricated
The best solution for progressive governments, I believe, will introduce more competition in the media, increase the diversity of voices
The proposed law on media in Argentina could spread more equitably among the media the private, public and community
It is possible that Ecuador should go in the same direction
These changes are very important in a region where the coverage of Internet visits than a third of the population
And so the vast majority of people take their news from TV and radio should be noted
, the supposed defenders of freedom of speech, that the airwaves are public property, a lien fee, but certainly not a right
Until the day when the media become more democratic structure in Latin America, there will be conflicts between governments so progressive and right-wing media
course it is possible that governments abuse their regulatory authority
but so far it has always been the other way
The private media have the right abused their power and their control over the means of communication, so as to undermine the democratic process
1. Beyond the debate on body scanners at airports: a plea for reasonable foreign policy
2. The danger of nuclear terrorism, why was potentially seen anything with the attacks of September 11
3. History, geography, oil: The underside of the assault against footballers from Togo
4. The world's tallest tower in Dubai: a symbol of the last decade
5. Far from the Bread and Roses: Romania 20 years after the end of communism
6. The press in Ecuador: a typical fight against progressive government media powerful right
body scanners VS FOREIGN POLICY
The Harper government, following pressure from Washington has decided to move the front and install a quarantine of body scanners in Canadian airports ...
which a dozen major cities immediately in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver
There's lots of debate about it since, in the public and the media, because activities in the Canadian parliament have been suspended, recalled, until the end of the Olympics
Is this an invasion of privacy? Is it going to work this machine there?
There is the whole issue of human rights and racial profiling, too.
question to which we must now add the Yemen, where the bomb was sewn to the undergarment of the terrorist from Nigeria
All matters of security at our airports and airplanes taking off from home to avoid the central problem I think.
Instead of implementing new machinery and inflate budgets Security ... amounts that will be passed on to consumers, as usual, would seek to reverse the trend of terrorism
The obsession with safety distances us from our foreign policy
like chewing gum and walk at the same time, you'd think it would be possible to talk about security and foreign policy at the same time
yet, no, there is the issue of security throughout
So all the plaster and nothing about the source of the bohemian as of
habit So why does he want Yemen to the U.S.?
Because unmanned drones have invaded their airspace and threatened innocent people in 2002and again last month
We did not like the invasion of Iraq in 2003, not more
The first attack against the U.S. embassy had place immediately after that, well before that which was planned recently
reserves remain without terror funds especially if we continue to fill with illegal invasions, wars and what kind of foreign policy
The hostile reaction to the Western countries is not unlike what we are told, based in religion ... in the kind of nonsense, they hate our freedom

MORE THAN SCHOOLS CHURCHES AND HOSPITALS IN AFRICA
MORE THAN SCHOOLS CHURCHES AND HOSPITALS IN AFRICA?
It is very surprising that when we travel to black Africa from Ghana to Tanzania, Niger, South Africa has on this day is always the same song a little loan that is found, the multiplicity of churches and eglisettes. The African has given voluntarily for the phenomena of church and eglisettes.
A friend who had visited Ghana, for example, was very surprised that in all buses, taxis, trains, boats and airplanes that he borrowed, it was always the name of jesus that was sung and the sounds of eglisettes was at the top. Nowhere kwameh Kruma name was mentioned, for example, or even mentioned, he is the father of the independence of Ghana and father of Pan Africanism.
Sometimes we ask ourselves this question very honest about where would be the origin of this phenomenon. In the 80 per example, there were only churches conventional cad Catholic churches (the Mupes), Protestants (missions), the weapon of salvation and Islam (WARA) and black churches, not sure this well only in the Democratic Republic of Kongo, but also elsewhere in Africa. Arriving around 1980 came the big explosion of all the different sects of Christianity until today or in the big city like Kinshasa, for example, that at least one in four home is transformed 'into a Christian sect with very specific names. We find very fanciful names such as: the battle of time, the church of jesus of this or that, Jesus is coming soon are you ready? jesus is my strength and blah, blah .... These
eglisettes that function without structure or methodology, are based 'on a deluded notion of time, vague and strange. They are so numerous that one wonders, where did they really? Often these are young people who are unemployed but who know to read and write, which are spent for pastors as they can impress their mothers with the old art of manipulating the English or French, especially in rural rural or slum that swarm towers of the great urban centers in Africa. Or, a former magician, a former thief, a former Featured prostitute or who have more success taking the leadership of these companies to extort money. They hypnotize their followers with stories often invent their lives when they were old or when success was sinners. Sometimes they pay crooks who come to confession, giving false evidence fabricated. Evidence that always end on the note, Jesus saved me 'here is today it makes me a good man, a man of good life, a man of success, so they are very conscious of being crooks and opportunistically making use of the fragility of their mental victims. Another allure of these merchants of asphyxia spiritual, is the promise of success, work and offspring for barren women. All courses are based a successful sale, a better life with a lot of money or success to the poor believer in using certain interpretation very bad management of the bible or becoming champion in the detection of witches who are often very vulnerable people in the comunity who can not defend themselves, here I quote children and old people. In any case the old trick still works very well in Africa because of fear of injury and the belief in witchcraft.
However although the abundance of these is Jesus' promise eglisette has all the time to provide quick fixes to the country or individuals, the real problems of the country or their supporters became increasingly worse and the slogans of success and success remain dead letters. The African
built eglisettes has breathtaking speed and pace. If it was at the same rate as the African built hospitals and roads, Africa is already developed, very long time. Africa in need of hospitals, medicine and technology has it own. But today, it simply lose its energy in chimeras eglisettes which paralyzes and poisons his mental and spirit.
Anyway, I honestly asked the question to understand whether the development of Africa it is a function of the multitude of his hand eglisette swarming all?
When you look at the reality of it is ready soon realized that everywhere in the world is the man who has the ability to change its environment first, not a force illusionaire and chimerical as it became the case in Africa. When man and gave the resignation creates its responsibility for its future welfare and the benefit of a hypothetical, it is always the catastrophe that ensues.
The African is a nation full of energy, full of desire but it may be missing t it not a real or genuine visionary? In this rat race 'to the welfare or Africa today is latest statement by contributions to other continents, instead of staying with a situation or a situation of negativity refuse to face the real problem Africa and was playing the ostrich, it is high time that African understand that Africa needs development, road infrastructure, hospitals, education more than the construction of eglissete which are merely a real sleeping pill and a high way towards its destruiction.
Besides most of the leaders of these charismatic eglisettes not are and never was a good example for Africa. An example of love, compassion and respect for each other anyway, they are not!! The charismatic revival that was created and pilot 'with the American CIA money to brutalize completely to the 80 African, is now meeting stiff resistance because Africans are beginning to see clear and sought to take their destiny' their hands. Voyer by former U.S. president George Bush who led a crusade against the Muslim world in the name of Christianity, the way they treat the black man.
Look at this video and appreciate his greeting Bush at G black Haitians after the earthquake of January past and you get the same conclusion about the charismatic leader of the movement that infests' Africa as a major cancer.

In the 80 per example, there were only churches conventional cad Catholic churches (the Mupes), Protestants (missions), the weapon of salvation and Islam (WARA) and black churches, not sure this well only in the Democratic Republic of Kongo, but also elsewhere in Africa. Arriving around 1980 came the big explosion of all the different sects of Christianity until today or in the big city like Kinshasa, for example, that at least one in four home is transformed 'into a Christian sect with very specific names. We find very fanciful names such as: the battle of time, the church of jesus of this or that, Jesus is coming soon are you ready? jesus is my strength and blah, blah .... These
eglisettes that function without structure or methodology, are based 'on a deluded notion of time, vague and strange. They are so numerous that one wonders, where did they really? Often these are young people who are unemployed but who know to read and write, which are spent for pastors as they can impress their mothers with the old art of manipulating the English or French, especially in rural rural or slum that swarm towers of the great urban centers in Africa. Or, a former magician, a former thief, a former Featured prostitute or who have more success taking the leadership of these companies to extort money. They hypnotize their followers with stories often invent their lives when they were old or when success was sinners. Sometimes they pay crooks who come to confession, giving false evidence fabricated. Evidence that always end on the note, Jesus saved me 'here is today it makes me a good man, a man of good life, a man of success, so they are very conscious of being crooks and opportunistically making use of the fragility of their mental victims. Another allure of these merchants of asphyxia spiritual, is the promise of success, work and offspring for barren women. All courses are based a successful sale, a better life with a lot of money or success to the poor believer in using certain interpretation very bad management of the bible or becoming champion in the detection of witches who are often very vulnerable people in the comunity who can not defend themselves, here I quote children and old people. In any case the old trick still works very well in Africa because of fear of injury and the belief in witchcraft.
However although the abundance of these is Jesus' promise eglisette has all the time to provide quick fixes to the country or individuals, the real problems of the country or their supporters became increasingly worse and the slogans of success and success remain dead letters. The African
built eglisettes has breathtaking speed and pace. If it was at the same rate as the African built hospitals and roads, Africa is already developed, very long time. Africa in need of hospitals, medicine and technology has it own. But today, it simply lose its energy in chimeras eglisettes which paralyzes and poisons his mental and spirit.
Anyway, I honestly asked the question to understand whether the development of Africa it is a function of the multitude of his hand eglisette swarming all?
When you look at the reality of it is ready soon realized that everywhere in the world is the man who has the ability to change its environment first, not a force illusionaire and chimerical as it became the case in Africa. When man and gave the resignation creates its responsibility for its future welfare and the benefit of a hypothetical, it is always the catastrophe that ensues.
The African is a nation full of energy, full of desire but it may be missing t it not a real or genuine visionary? In this rat race 'to the welfare or Africa today is latest statement by contributions to other continents, instead of staying with a situation or a situation of negativity refuse to face the real problem Africa and was playing the ostrich, it is high time that African understand that Africa needs development, road infrastructure, hospitals, education more than the construction of eglissete which are merely a real sleeping pill and a high way towards its destruiction.
Besides most of the leaders of these charismatic eglisettes not are and never was a good example for Africa. An example of love, compassion and respect for each other anyway, they are not!! The charismatic revival that was created and pilot 'with the American CIA money to brutalize completely to the 80 African, is now meeting stiff resistance because Africans are beginning to see clear and sought to take their destiny' their hands. Voyer by former U.S. president George Bush who led a crusade against the Muslim world in the name of Christianity, the way they treat the black man.
Look at this video and appreciate his greeting Bush at G black Haitians after the earthquake of January past and you get the same conclusion about the charismatic leader of the movement that infests' Africa as a major cancer.

It is very surprising that when we travel to black Africa from Ghana to Tanzania, Niger, South Africa has on this day is always the same song a little loan that is found, the multiplicity of churches and eglisettes. The African has given voluntarily for the phenomena of church and eglisettes.
A friend who had visited Ghana, for example, was very surprised that in all buses, taxis, trains, boats and airplanes that he borrowed, it was always the name of jesus that was sung and the sounds of eglisettes was at the top. Nowhere kwameh Kruma name was mentioned, for example, or even mentioned, he is the father of the independence of Ghana and father of Pan Africanism.

Can I Make Bread Crumbs Out Of Special K
BLINDNESS OF INTELLECTUAL ELITE CONGOLESE
BLINDNESS OF INTELLECTUAL
Kongola
There are only weak, and weak minds who still believe in all kinds of crap balanced by pastors and cheap politicians who can be pushed around by now that things are. Obviously heaven and hell are here on earth! God gave us paradise and we turn to hell. What happens to the Kongo is worse than hell. I often wonder whether he really Kongola can afford to be afraid of hell because his condition now is worse than hell.
Is it not in the creed of the Christians say: "Jesus descended into hell and was buried"? But it is because of the cruelty of men and their ignorance. The Kongola pay today at high prices, the consequences of their ignorance, their amnesia, their cowardice, their consciousness and their naivete. They have the legitimacy through elections in 2006 by direct universal suffrage (sic) a liar President in the person of Joseph Kabila, whose real name was Hippolyte Kanambe turns out to be a Tutsi from Rwanda. The news that exists only for the Congolese ignorant, deaf or blind, Laurent Nkunda another Tutsi was strongly reaffirmed. Thus, our diplomas in all disciplines and our doctorates in science the most advanced of the world they are not strictly nothing? They have not prevented a tiny among the Nilotic people of just 800,000 souls come to dominate over 60 million Bantu KongolaisI what shame? Bantu ministers who form the current Congolese government, our historians, our journalists, anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, lawyers, doctors, engineers, agronomists, economists, chemists, polytechnic, but our generals, our colonels, our BEM (certificates of Staff), in short, all university graduates (there would be some 500,000 since 1954 to date) are proving every day that "science without conscience (ethnic) is the ruin of the soul." Is not that someone had said 'somewhere!
You can try to return the item in all directions and all angles, advancing all kinds of arguments you want, comfort you through all the arguments, philosophies, you can not untie or cut this Gordian knot, ie we are well-filled heads but very poorly done. Add to this defect visceral selfishness and materialism that does not burden any scruple to meet our needs the most vile and most basely eating and digestive and see why we are reduced today to suffer from blindness prevents us now to distinguish right from wrong, justice from injustice, a rabbit from a carp, a Muntu a Tutsi, a compatriot of a stranger, at night the day, the sun of the moon, man Women, the lie of the truth, truth from falsehood. Therefore, having lost all power of discernment, the Congolese have tumbled several degrees on the scale of evolution of living species. It is not even certain that at present, we are located above the maggots ...
In fact, judging by the treatment of the peasants of north Kivu by Kagame of Rwanda, we would now amount to as natural fertilizer we saw that he had ordered his soldiers to rush, live, hundreds of Congolese villagers in septic tanks where they were drowned in those holes filled with human waste.
Tell me, my brothers and sisters, did he ever existed such an abomination in the modern history of the horrors committed by the men since their appearance on this planet?
And it seems that the worst is yet to come.
Nature is generous indeed, but it is also unforgiving. Of all the faculties granted to humans, she prefers above all consciousness, because it serves key centerpiece to all other (intelligence, emotion, various sensory perceptions such as sight, hearing, touch, smell). Consciousness is indeed crowned the whole structure that nature has patiently built up since the mineral. It took billions of years to finally succeed in shaping the man to the potential image of God "for him to take possession of the Earth and gives a big boost to the whole of the lower realms.
But beware: any reverse gear is prohibited. That is why, according to my understanding, was intractable nature vis-à-vis all human beings, every nation, society, civilization or race, for his thoughts, practices and discourse, may cause a decline, which could reverse the march to begin the involution instead of stimulating the development. In descending into bigotry, losing all consciousness of the group, by engaging in the most obscene dances, giving free rein to the most irrational superstitions, allowing pseudo "men of God" to lead to the animal and to the most absurd religious beliefs; Bantu Congolese, while Nature was particularly generous to them by showering them fabulous riches human (over 400 ethnic groups and tribes) and geological, do not realize they have sinned against His law. The latter, the single, which governs the universe, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. No wonder, then, that Nature punishes us with the utmost severity. Tutsis as Hippolyte Kanambe, Paul Kagame, Nkundabatware, Mwando Nsimba, Tambwe Mwamba, General Kalume, etc.. Can be regarded as the instrument of His wrath and punishment of his tools. And if, God forbid, the Congolese Bantus refuse, despite the heavy blows them Assen, cure the defects that afflict them, Nature is ready to take the gamble and risk their extermination, pure and simple.
Moreover, they will not be the first people that Nature so willing to sacrifice. Simply to refer to the history of mankind. Countless, indeed, peoples, races, societies and civilizations that have disappeared from the surface of the Earth without leaving any trace or as souvenir for posterity. The Tutsi of Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda in general are just waiting for this opportunity to build their famous "Tutsiland" which would have the same dimensions as the current Democratic Republic of Congo (perhaps Also, who knows?) instead of limiting to only two or three provinces, as is the case in the project they feed since 1972.
Collabos and pastors continue to descend the Congo in hell with your stories here that do not stand up. Time will prove us right. The Kongo
whom I speak, our machines are, things? Time has not t he sounds' of us realize the seriousness of our illness and begin ay solutions needed. The time for action is dear friends, brothers and sisters Kongola.
Mama likembe.
