In the early XXIth Century.

As i  have studied History, i like to use it in my reflections. 

Checking some of the pieces of new that we have been reported in the latest month, i see that in our early XXIth Century we still aren't able to solve the grand troubles of our humanity; Poverty, inequality, racism or xenophoby,  and if we go on walking by this way, we definitely won't do.

In first place i will talk about Greece, its debts and the European Union: The past week we were reported about the Greek Referendum, that in Spain has been baptized as "Greferendum". The debate in Spain and in the whole world is if Greece must paying the debt in complete and applying the reform that Euro Group ask to that country. The greek gobernment is trying to negotiate a release of the debt as it is as much high that is impossible to paying in complete. The Greek population is being drived by Europe to a terrible situation because they are supporting the consecuences of the bad politics that their past governments have done. But where  Europe Union was when these irresponsible governments were doing that politics that everybody now criticize? These irresponsible polititians were their allied by promoting in Europe the wonder of capitalism in opposition to socialism, and supporting allied is expensive, of course!
And to justify the politics of cuts which only goal is removing every kind of protection of population to defend thenselves of the economical power, they are using the lie to try to convince us that keeping social services, education and health care is too much expensive so we must to privatize. 
Lots of studies about the system of health care in USA have shown that privat health care system is much more expensive for administration as it means to finance privat firms.
They are really conscious of the fact that Greece can not paying the debt and the fact that applying the reforms which are focused to cut much more the funds for social services, reducing much more the salaries, and increase the taxes over consume are going to impoverish the country. They know because they are done in other countries already and in other times in our history. Mostly the underdevelopment is set on that kind of politics. 
Today I was reading an article written by Juan Torres, professor of Applied Economy in the University of Seville, where he explained that the destruction of Greek Economy will destroy to Europe too. The only benefit in this play of destruction will be by the moment Germany, but not the german population who is suffering the same kind of ideology which aspire to become every necesity of the people in a product to sell and consume.
Finally Greece is accepting the deal of Europe, in spite of being against their principles of keeping the basic protection to a population which is every day more impoverished.
Germany should remind that they were excused to paying 50 per cent of it debt in 1953 and part of that debt was cancelled by Greece. 

Now is the time of talking a little about the reborn, or better said, the "never deceased" racism in USA. No reform of the language which teach us to say "Coloured" in the place of "Black", no black president or no school programmes which goal is teach us that skin, religion, country and culture doesn't do us different. In the early XXIth Century we still have to see some people who attack and kill others cause by its race.
The racism is an ideology, of course, the one which says that there are people in the world that are superior because are more white than others. Is the greatest stupidity but there are even racists who are intelectuals, and who even writes books which people read.
To me racism and xenophoby is another face of the global injustice in the world  and we won't be able to make it dissapear while the inequality keeps existing.
The past year i did an excellent course about Black Women Movements and Social Rights in USA, and is so sad to see that the situation is no very different in 2015, and that Ku Klux Klan still exists.
That is a cancer that our society have created and we will have work strong to remove it.



Finally, i won't go without mentioning Spain and its Security Citiciens Law, that we call Gag Law. They passed in 1st of July basicly to punish our protests.
I will write an entry about this but in other time!

Hugs and Revolution.

Scalibur and the ebola in Spain.

This past summer we woke up with a piece of news, three Spanish persons had been infected of ebola in Africa and  the government had decided to move them from Africa to Spain, in spite of the advices of doctors and specialists about the danger of doing something like this, because it meant to introduce a very dangerous illness in Spain.

The Minister of Healthy and the government said that the protocol of security was perfect and nothing would happen. These three ills dead because, as the doctor said, Spain hasn't the necessary infraestructure to deal this kind of illness. But the worse thing is that people who was dealing with the ills were not ready to do that work and they weren't right trained and correctly dress for it.
The ill nurse went on vacation and the 30th of September asked for being seen because she had fever. The proof has been made in October, and now we know she has ebola, so Spain is the first country where there is an infected outside Africa. I think it is a very serious error, and the government has put in danger to the people in Spain.
How to know how many people has been in contact with her during her vacation? How to know if there are more people or worked from that hospital afected?

Now a new stupidity from them, they have decided to kill the nurse's dog, Scalibur, without even make him the proof to know if he is really infected. They are going simply to kill him, when the doctors say that it is not necessary, just they must put him in quarentine.

The last thing is that they are trying to blame to the nurse of her infection... That is Spain!

The criminal's right to defend themselves.

From Gaza we receive every day heartbreaking images. 500 dead, 100 children between them, 3000 injured. This is the horror account.
The media mass which take part aside Israel informer us about 20 dead in Israel. They meant that both sides are guilty.
The protector of Zionist government of Israel, USA government, begins to stammer when they have to defend something simply imposible to defend. They say that Israel has the right to defend, but this right is turning on a humanity crime. So maybe, staying alone at home, while eating the lunch or dinner they choke with their food then of watch the image of a child under a destroyed bulding.
Since Israel was founded in 1948 they have only had one goal, to occupy the land of Palestine. But I don't going to talk here about the story of this conflict, because I am not expert.
I just want to share my opinion with you.


I was looking for information about the number of dead in this conflict when I found an article from a site entitled “Jewish”. In it the man who wrote it was counting the dead people since the conflict began in 1948, about 50,000 people he says.
Then he compared the number which other killing in the history to conclude that Israel is not that criminal which people say, because it caused less dead than others.
So he counted the dead to be able to say to himself; they aren't too much.
It's clear that some people confuse being jewish with the fact to defend the crime made by Israel government and its army. I am catholic, just by accident because there was a time when in Spain to be Catholic was a duty. The thing is that i will never defend the ideas of Catholicism in gays issues (they condemen the freedom of people to chose), or abort (they condemen the freedom of women to chose), or even the crimes in the name of Catholicism in the past (Inquisition).
What did these people who defend this crime of Israel, in the name of being Jewish, say if we said that Holocaust was the right of Nazis to defend. They simply would horrify!
As I do when I read or listen to people justify in this way the killing of innocent people in Gaza.
I know that lot of jewish people is agree with me because they are decent people who put ahead his human condition of his religion or culture.
Lot of people from USA condemned and protested against wars and external politics of their government and they aren't less american cause by it.
Decent people can't defend the crimes.
I wonder where is the humanity of the people who defend the killing that Israel makes against innocents in Gaza currently.


Obama says that Israel has the right to defend, but at the same time he express against “the right to ukrainen partisans to defend theirselves” from what they think is the usurpation of their choice, because the government they chosed was deposed by a coup.


Now, while blood plows through the streets in Gaza, they look like very worried about to find out who launch the bomb to the plane in Ukraine, as if they never would have been able to prevent. And the history comes to me so easy, like the words in that song... There is always a blast; a ship in Cuba War, Ocean Liner in First World War, Pearlharbor in Second World War, Twin Towers, and now a plane... It's hard to me not think about the interest of USA diplmacy in all these stuff... Because they use the emotion and the pain when they want to justify something. It sounds like a movie who you have watched lot of times so you know the end.


The Nobel of Peace Obama is too much involved in wars in my opinion. I keep a comment that I have read in facebook... maybe he is busy looking for the Nobel award which must be lost, and I add... maybe Nobel decided to move from Obama's home.

ABOUT EU ELECTIONS AND THE ABDICATION OF JUAN CARLOS I

We are possibly living an important historic time, but we might aren't able to analyze  it with the necessary perspective.

In 2011 the social movements in Spain come together in only one, it was the birth of 15th of May. Only one meet "ocuppy your square" and million of hearts.

The difference of this new great movement was understanding the importance of the citizen into the politics.
People were tired of being drived and asked for their participation.

So the motto was: "They don't represent me".

Since this time until now there have been lot of attempts to turn this movement into a politic tool to replace the traditional concept of representation for a new one of direct participation. 

I was into this kind of issue when few months ago a new project borned. It is Podemos (or We Can).
Our We Can is not a motto, it is a project to produce citizen participation. Pablo Iglesias is our more popular face. Media normally says that Podemos is Pablo Iglesia's party, but i want to expline that it is not in this way.
He is a professor of Politics Science in Complutense Unversity who has been popular in debates about politics in tv programmes.
So when the past Sunday Podemos obtained 5 sits in the European Parlament, everybody run to say that it had been cause by media, because Pablo Iglesias is a celebrity.
I never will able to understand the foolish way to analyze the fact of some people (politicians, journalists and other). In my neighbourhood lot of people who decided to take the paper with the candidates of Podemos even didn't know  Pablo Iglesias.
Being exacts... how many people do watch politics debates on tv? I think not much.
It places like my neighbourhood the most important has been the Circle's work.
We had in Seville, my city, almost 300 people working voluntary for Podemos, and any of us are militans, but citizen who have ilusion to change the things.
The campaign has been built working with neighbours, with very little money and facilities.
In our politics meeting the "main role" was the neighbour, the teacher, the worker... there weren't professional politics...
It is the real reason of the result in my opinion.
While analysts talk about our future (if we will get to stand or we will die), we are already working for the next election (municipal). Because our goal is not to sell something but to create citizen participation.
Podemos is a tool for the citizen who want to participate directly in politic.

CIRCLES:

Podemos is built by Circles. They are citizen assemblies, where the freedom is the rule. I mean, you don't need any card or have concrets ideas. We don't care who you voted the past, only care about what you want for the future.
If you are agree with us in the way to organize this future, you are welcome.
The role of the circles will be basic to create participation, and it is our actual work.

THE ABDICATION OF JUAN CARLOS:

The debate is set in two ideas: To go on with the Monarchy or to make a referendum and leaving people decide if we want or not keep the monarchy.

In a side the Traditional Parties (the ones who have access the power), PP and PSOE; they want to go on with the system, and it is normal because they are the system.
Their representatives said today in a tv debate that a referendum could cause instability, so they chosed estability. Of course that their estabilty is very unstable (unemployment, corruption, poverty...) Because it is the situation that Spain is living actually.
In the other side: All those who want the Referendum (Podemos, Izquierda Unida, EQUO and other) They call to the necessity that people feel is participating and take this important decision.
They call for the real democracy.

In my opinion the government, who is the only one that is able to ask for the Referendum, won't do. So all the people and parties that want to make important changes in this process are in need to work together.
Because the other two; PP and PSOE are already working together to avoid our progress.
We need work everyone  in our space, and get that this majority of people who actually don't participate, do it.
To get it is necessary to open the parties to the citizen and make them work altogether in the construcction of a new society where citizen participation and direct democracy be the rule.
We must to give them the tools.

Only in this way we will able to make a better world where unjustice be a bad memory!

I have too much things to say but little time to write.

Calle 13 is a music band from Puerto Rico whose new album has been called Multiviral. One of their songs; "Adentro" gave me the idea for the title of this entry. Because in it René (the leader of the band) says: "I have much to say and little paper", and I say: I have too much to write but little time.

Our world is running as quick like a ray, and the news passes in front of our eyes like if they were fashionable clothes, despite  they be the result of a dramatic reallity that overtake us.

Finally, we end up thinking that any of us is doing the best to avoid that our paradise, which is our planet, the one that NASA photograph while look for a twin planet in the space where go on exploting resources and maybe its inhabitants (if they existed), be destroyed.

Today I write about the madness that rule our world, where some people who call themself "democrats" don't stop in their desire to concentrate wealth in their hands, till the last consecuence; the destruction of the planet and being in it. They might be waiting for the discovery of the twin of our planet, in order to move there with their mansions and laminated way of life of Monsanto's transgenic.


The Thursday was reported Gabriel García Marquez's death. The great writer who made us dream on Macondo. He had lots of great quotations, so the net was flooded with them. The mine in Facebook was him too: If the shit had some value, poor would born without bottom.

Because we talk very much about poverty, but do very little to fight it.

Democracy, freedom, solidarity or equality are currently empty words often used to be sold in the market of the image.

Politicians pronounce them in their speeches to catch votes, but once the elections has finished, forget them, and do the best to protect the order and legality of the inequality by rules which benefit to the wealthy.

They tell  us (by their media mass) that the fact to privatise our resources or services is good for us, because in this way they will be more efficient or inexepensive.

So our health care or education is being privatized, as well our more important resources (water, energy, land...). At least the whole nature is being privatised!

The result of all this process is that every time less people is able to access to the basic resources to survive because we have to pay for them, and everytime our salaries are lower because these same firms which own the privatized resources, are pressing to the governments  to get advantages to reduce the expenses by laboral laws which benefit them; cutting back.

The actual crisis has become in a great chance for them, being the owner of the main financial centers and institutions like IMF or The European Bank, they make use of every one of their tools (grade agencies like Lehman Brother or Goldman Sachs) to mark the countries' economies and to influence in the inside politics by their suggestion, the ones are obligatory to obey if the countries want to receive financing.
This is the way they are promoting the politics of austerity adressed to reduce the expenses of the entreprenour and to turn on the worker class in a great dough of "cheap hands". We could call it: "Slavement of workers"

If i explain all this is because poverty is a great issue in speeches, songs, movies, campaignes to fund raising, etc. Lots of celebrities have their foundations to ask for our "solidarity". But the question is, how many of them are really committed in the fight to reduce the poverty supporting suitable politics?

How many of the people, not only celebrities or intellectuals, in this world who often talk about poverty know what kind of politics are suitable to solve this problem?

Because to me is senseless to do a speech about poverty in a rally, and to support at the same time the Neoliberal politics of IMF or European Bank.

But everyday politics parties like Democrats in USA or their equal here in Europe, Labour Parties, do that. In fact they apply this politics in their own countries or support the implementation of them in other ones (Obama, for example, is very agree with Troika's Austerity Politics)

Fighting against poverty is only possible by a way; restricting the control that the owner of the high fortunes put over the global economy and changing the global economy to make it fair and supportive.


But if go on welcoming the hypocrisy of our assumed representatives and we don't see that they aren't our reprsentatives, but the banker's and wealthy's representatives, we never are going to change anything, so we only will be able pronounce empty words.

It's a free world, the English Version.

In 2012 i started a blog which I titled "En un mundo Libre", the translation into Spanish Language of "It's a free world". My main interest was to have a space where writing about things that I'm worried about.

I'm now studying English Language so my level is still very basic. I ask to all the people who come here and read that not only express their on opinion but correct me the grammar or vocabulary, if it is necessary.

"It's a free world" is the title of a great movie directed by Ken Loach, from United Kindom, that I recommend you in case you hadn't seen it already.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Loach

The subject of this blog is related to the tittle and subject of the movie... the social injustice in our world, this one that we consider "free".

I will post some of the entries that I wrote for the Spanish Version.

The goal of this new project is first to help myself with the Shakespeare's Language, and second to address my vision about Spain and other issues to all the people who can't understand or read in Spanish Language but be interested in know about it.

Welcome to my blog!
