 Reflexión de Manuel Caballero, venezolano (Barquisimeto, 1931-Caracas, 200), polémico historiador y periodista, autor de más de 50 libros sobre historiografía política y literatura; miembro de varias academias nacionales e internacionales, ganador de codiciados premios y hasta ahora es el único criollo publicado en la Universidad de Cambridge, donde se doctoró con una tesis sobre la Internacional Comunista y la revolución latinoamericana. Éramos un país de viajeros gozosos instalados en la dulzura ochocentista del ta`barato dame dos mayamero.

 Celebrábamos los Carnavales en Aruba, Semana Santa en Cartagena, vacaciones escolares en Miami y Navidades en el Rockefeller Center.

 Nuestros únicos exiliados eran los becarios del Plan Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho que se iban llenos de dòlares como abejas golosas a las colmenas del saber gringo. El que más o el que menos tenía un hermano, un primo o un novio protegiendo focas en Hawai o estudiando zootecnia en los bosques de Wichita, y uno que otro hijo de inmigrantes aterrizaba en casa de la tía gallega en La Coruña para estudiar medicina o con la abuela catalana en Gerona para estudiar Ecología.

 Pero el destino nos alcanzó, como en la película,- y nos sumamos al resto de países latinoamericanos como Argentina, Perú, Ecuador, Colombia, Rep.Dominicana o el Salvador, que luchan por un empleo de tercera en cualquiera de los países del primer mundo.

 En Europa era frecuente ver a los venezolanos de turistas manirrotos conociendo la tierra de los abuelos y mirando con lástima a los argentinos, que habían llegado por aluviones a los países de la comunidad europea en las diversas oleadas que las sacudidas políticas y económicas han arrojado fuera de la otrora Suiza de América.

 Aún no nos reponemos del shock. Desde hace 6 años, Venezuela se desangra buscando fuera de nuestras fronteras lo que dentro de ellas dos generaciones de venezolanos no pueden encontrar: trabajo, seguridad y una manera digna de vivir y de labrarse un future.

 Somos tantos los que huimos, que en las afueras de Miami ya hay un pueblo de quince mil habitantes que llaman popularmente Venezuelaville y que tiene la bandera de Venezuela como enseña en el cartel a la entrada al pueblo.

 En Atlanta hay cafés llamados Caracas y Ocumare, y dos areperas que hacen las delicias de colombianos y chicanos. New York está lleno de bartenders maracuchos y caraqueños. Las Islas Canarias parecen el Boulevard de Sabana Grande, y en Barcelona, en pleno otoño catalán basta con entrar al Corte Inglés para comprar harina Pan, tostoncitos o una polarcita bien fría, y encontrarse en la caja número 2 a un ex compañero de la UCV haciendo el mercado de la quincena. En menos de una década nos han convertido en un pueblo de inmigrantes, llenos de nostalgia de torontos y añorantes de queso telita.

 Hace veinte años, los intelectuales venezolanos se preguntaban que era "la identidad nacional", en este país de mientras tanto y por si acaso, cuyos monumentos históricos no pasan de la década de los albores del siglo XX, y la respuesta iba más allá de esta Venezuela bolivariana de Revista Tricolor, que intentan vendernos los neochavistas. Más allá del Turpial y el Araguaney, más allá del Flamboyan y de la Semana Santa de los 7 templos.

 Portugueses, italianos, españoles, eslavos, judíos y alemanes, fueron llegando a nuestras costas como sobrantes de una post-guerra de miseria y necesidades. Ahora hijos y nietos de esta marea aluvional, regresan a los países de donde vinieron los ancestros, para encontrar que valen lo mismo que un africano de patera o un colombiano sin papeles: o sea nada.

 El venezolano de clase media que emigra buscando la esperanza en otros países, ve convertidos sus títulos e innumerables postgrados en sólo papel mojado y generalmente termina aceptando el primer trabajo de mesonero o empleado que le permita pagar el alquiler para sobrevivir al invierno. Las mujeres venezolanas, acostumbradas a la paridad gerencial y a las conquistas logradas post era perejimenista, se encuentran con un mundo de amas de casa que tienen veinte años de atraso con respecto a Venezuela, en la mayoría de los casos europeos, y sobre todo en la supuesta "España moderna", que tiene la mayor tasa de violencia de género de Europa, que se escandaliza porque las Ministras del gobierno socialista posan para Vogue y en las que las mujeres en vez de jugar un papel en la historia juegan un trapo, como bien reprocharía Mafalda en uno de sus chistes más mordaces.

 Y el Norte, el Norte sigue siendo una quimera a ritmo de merengue venezolano, que atrocidad!. Un Norte de Migra persiguiendo petareños por la calle Ocho de Miami, de policías aduaneros que prácticamente te instalan un localizador satelital para encontrarte post vencimiento visa turística.
En Estados Unidos nos llaman "los balseros del aire", en Canadá nos niegan las visas antes de respirar siquiera y en los consulados australianos (por sólo dar tres ejemplos) nos colocan un "warning" alrededor de la nacionalidad.

 Ya no somos el país bienvenido del oro negro. Somos un país de exiliados forzosos, instalados en la añoranza de una Venezuela que no volverá y que nos dejó botados a las puertas de la historia, con nuestra rabia como única arma para derrotar a los mediocres que nos sellan el pasaporte a la salida.
Como decía Charly García, el último que salga que apague la luz...porque los que regresen tendrán la terrible mirada de los que no creen en nada.

 ¿Por que?, Por que carajo no cambiamos nuestros horizontes en vez de huir buscando un "sueño americano" ¿Por que no buscamos un "SUEÑO VENEZOLANO".
Este pais tiene todo lo que cualquier pais del mundo desearia, lo que nos falta es coraje para enfrentar de verdad las injusticias y lograr que los que estan engañados se den cuenta y reaccionen positivamente al sueño que todos tenemos de lograr un pais con futuro para nuestros hijos, y no huyendo en busca de un mundo de fantasias,.. . pero de otros, donde nos desprecian y humillan por no tener el valor de defender lo nuestro.
¿Sera que los venezolanos no tenemos cojones??? M.Caballero

La Guarimba ha sido una importante herramienta para el pueblo contra gobiernos abusivos.

Barricadas (Guarimbas) en París 1830-1968: La Arquitectura Defensiva de insurgencias
Saturday, March 8th, 2014
Amigos encontré un artículo histórico sobre las guarimbas de París, Francia. No dice mucho pero contiene muchas fotos interesantes. La Guarimba ha sido una importante herramienta para el pueblo contra gobiernos abusivos. Aunque en estas fotos se ven Guarimberos armados, yo creo más prudente solo resistir sin combate. Llega el opresor, entras a tu casa. se va, sale a la calle.
 
Barricadas (La Guarimba) en París 1830-1968: La Arquitectura Defensiva de insurgencias
 
el 08 de enero 2012 Por Léopold Lambert

Barricada durante la Comuna de París en 1871
Actualmente estoy escribiendo un ensayo sobre " paisajes de la insurgencia "a través del cual la tipología arquitectónica de la barricada (La Guarimba), por supuesto, la predominante. Este mensaje no se elabora sobre este tema, ya que yo estoy haciendo en este ensayo, sino que da un conjunto de referencias específicamente para el ejemplo de París desde la revolución de 1830 para los estudiantes y trabajadores de la huelga general de mayo de 1968. París es, en efecto, probablemente, el ejemplo más documentado de tal arquitectura militarizada pero barricadas se han construido y se utiliza en muchas ciudades (Barcelona, ​​México, Varsovia, Riga, etc) en todo el mundo durante el siglo 19 y 20.
- Para los lectores franceses, el libro La Barricade editado por Alain Corbin y Jean-Marie Mayeur como una colección de conferencias dictadas en un simposio en 1995 y publicado por La Sorbona es una mirada histórica preciosa a las barricadas parisinas del siglo 19 y, finalmente, ampliarla a otras ciudades y otras épocas.
- En Los Miserables , de Victor Hugo describe escenas de guerrilla urbana durante una insurgencia en 1832 incluyendo una que se mantuvo famoso en la historia de la literatura francesa, cuando el joven Gavroche es disparado por el ejército real mientras canta una ritournelle (ver artículo anterior ).
- En 1848, justo después de la revolución, Marshall Thomas Bugeaud que era famoso por derrotar a la gran Abd-el Kader y su movimiento de la ciudad / del ejército, la smala, y poniendo así fin a la colonización de Argelia (1837), escribe un libro titulado La Guerre des Rues et des Maisons (Guerra de calles y casas), que establece una serie de estrategias de lucha contra la insurgencia
en París que involucran a un grado muy importante, la arquitectura y el entorno construido.
- En 1866, Auguste Blanqui publica clandestinamente un tratado aún opuesta similares, Esquisse de la marche à suivre dans premio d’une arme à Paris que traducida parcialmente un artículo de edad . Este breve texto describe muy metódica cómo transformar un barrio urbano en una verdadera fortaleza, construyendo barricadas en marcha (incluso da cálculos para saber cuántos empedrado que pueda necesitar), sino también en el interior de los edificios, perforando paredes y suelos para maximizar los defensores la circulación y reducir al mínimo el oponente.
- Acerca de la Comuna de París 1871 (ver artículos anteriores 1 y 2 ), el relato ofrecido por Prosper Olivier Lissagaray que estaba en París durante esos tres meses de la independencia socialista, es generalmente considerado como el más útil para comprender los acontecimientos. Sin embargo, el docu-ficción La Comuna creada por Peter Watkins (ver los muchos artículos anteriores ) en el año 2000 ofrece paradójicamente una representación que no debe estar tan lejos de la realidad.

De hecho, esta película cinco largos por la noche (
que puede ser reloj integralmente aquí ) es un anacronismo en la tecnología (es un reportaje de la televisión!) y el lenguaje (personajes hablan en un francés contemporáneo), sino por su humanidad y su integración de las pequeñas y grandes desacuerdos entre las personas involucradas en la Comuna, se las arregla para llegar a un nivel

de clarividencia que podría ser más útil que una gran cantidad de narraciones históricas.

- En Barricadas y bulevares , nuestro amigo Carl Douglas (véase su ensayo invitado ) compara esas insurgencias del siglo 19 con la transformación militarizada más drástica de París por Napoleón III y su barón Haussmann .
Todas esas referencias están relacionadas con el siglo 19, pero barricadas han sido también la acumulación al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial durante la batalla por la liberación de París por la resistencia francesa, así que en mayo 1968 por estudiantes y trabajadores. En este último caso, una referencia adicional se puede encontrar en la película Los amantes regulares

(2005) de Philippe Garrel.

DID GOVERNOR CUOMO INVOKE THE CURSE OF THE AMIGOS?



Ironically, just a day after Silver shared the stage with Gov. Andrew Cuomo during his State of the State address, as Cuomo joked that he, Silver and the Senate majority leader were the "three amigos" of state government, Sheldon Silver is arrested by the FBI.

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his intentions to visit Mexico accompanied with Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. The Governor made this pronouncement with great fanfare and excitement, using a giant screen to show the three of them wearing Mexican hats with the caption: The 3 Amigos

When Rev-Sen Ruben Diaz gestured drawing the Governor's attention, Governor Andrew Cuomo responded by saying: These 3 Amigos are different than previous ones.

Implying that there was something wrong with the previous amigos. The Amigos reference might have been a swipe at Rev. Sen. Ruben Diaz who had put together a group called the 4 Amigos in 2010. From that group 3 of the 4 four wound up with serious legal problems and are no longer serving.  

Governor Andrew Cuomo himself is presently under federal  investigation and has retained criminal counsel.


Add caption
The original Four Amigos, Senators Ruben Diaz, Efrain Monserrate, Pedro Espada and Carl Kruger. Only senator Diaz remains unscathed.

BLOCK RADICAL ISLAM WEBSITES NOW


BLOCK RADICAL ISLAM WEBSITES NOW

You can't watch or download the latest Hobbit movie but people are able to reach terrorist recruiters through the internet. The Government should make available a constantly updated black list of these websites to internet service providers (ISP) and they should be blocked and disabled. While we're at it, block underage porn instead of leaving it as bait. In this day and age we can clearly identify dangerous criminal content. We block and delete viruses and malware all the time. 

Blocking these sites is something that will put a dent on the tide of terrorist violence. The internet is the easiest way they can recruit susceptible candidates and provide encouragement and propaganda to their agents.

LAS ARMAS: ¿O nos peinamos o nos hacemos rolos?


 
Mientras los acaparadores de armas aquí en los Estados inventan más razones para desarmar a los ciudadanos y prohibir cualquier cosa que se PAREZCA a un arma de asalto, Europa, con las leyes más restrictivas de armas en el mundo, está sufriendo una ola de asesinatos múltiples.


Es fácil y común para los malandros adquirir REALES armas de asalto militar automáticas através de fuentes subterráneas.


Los asaltantes son siempre envalentonados cuando pueden acudir sus "blancos blandos" y matar gente con impunidad. Ellos no tienen miedo porque en estos países, nadie tiene un arma, ni la policía.

Si hubiera habido gente armada presente en Charlie Hebdo o en el mercado kosher, estos incidentes hubieran terminado diferente o tal vez no hubieran pasado.


A los delincuentes no les importa qué ley imponen, van a conseguir las armas que necesitan para maltratar y matar a sus víctimas.


Si desarmamos a todos los estadounidenses vamos a necesitar endurecer todos los lugares  públicos con presencia policial.
Tendremos que vivir y comprar en fortalezas protegidas.


Espera… no queremos que eso tampoco.
 
 
 

¿Enfrentaremos malvados sátrapas pidiendo clemencia o vamos a defendernos?

América, es tiempo de madurar y ser realistas sobre las arma.

¿O nos peinamos o nos hacemos rolos?

GUNS: YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS


As gun grabbers here in the states find more reasons to disarm citizens and ban anything that LOOKS like an assault weapon, Europe, with the most restrictive gun laws in the world, is suffering a rash of multiple shootings.

It is easy and common for the bad guys to acquire REAL fully automatic military assault weapons through underground sources.

Shooters are always emboldened when they can walk into their "soft target" and kill people with impunity. They have no fear because in these countries nobody has a gun, not even the police.

If there would have been armed people at Charlie Hebdo and at the kosher market these incidents would have ended differently or maybe not happened at all.

Criminals don't care what law you pass, they will get the weapons they need to brutalize and kill their victims.

If we disarm all Americans we're going to need to have all public places hardened with police presence. We will have to live and shop in protected fortresses.

Wait, we don't want that either. Will we face evil cowering begging for mercy or are we going to defend ourselves?

Time to GROW UP and get real about guns America. You can't have it both ways.

INCARCERATION RATES AROUND THE WORLD






We have too many young people in prison for non-violent crimes. Many times the sentencing guidelines are disproportionate and the prosecutions selective. Once you make a youngster a felon for life you condemn him to live in a second class world. No voting, no jobs, ineligibility for education. These minor criminals have little options than to try to survive as "criminals". Lets not forget that prisons are a business.

Valledupar vivió su idilio con Willie Colón

Valledupar vivió su idilio con Willie Colón







En tierras de acordeones, la salsa se robó el show.
La capital mundial del vallenato gozó con la música del trombonista y cantante de raíces puertorriqueñas Willie Colón, quien fue el artista principal del Concierto por La Paz, que se llevó a cabo entre la noche de este sábado y la madrugada de ayer, en el Parque de la Leyenda Vallenata.  El evento que se desarrolló en el marco del cumpleaños 465 de Valledupar, contó en el escenario también con la actuación del salsero venezolano Luis Felipe González, Peter Manjarrés, Elkin Uribe, Kevin Flórez y Checo Acosta, quienes con sus voces encendieron los ánimos de los valduparenses  hasta las 5:10 a.m. de ayer.

Los teloneros fueron la Banda Municipal de Valledupar, quienes a las 7:45 p.m. subieron a la tarima Nicolás 'Colacho Mendoza', para entretener al público asistente con música representativa de la Región Caribe.  Acto seguido, Los Juglares Vallenatos, recordaron los clásicos del vallenato y con canciones como la Cañaguatera, interpretada por Isaac Tijito Carrillo, complacieron a los amantes del vallenato de antaño.

Previo a la intervención de Colón, saltó al escenario el salsero caraqueño Luis Felipe Rodríguez, quien fue el encargado de dar el cambio de vallenato a salsa, un giro de 180°, que fue bien recibido por los asistentes que aplaudieron y corearon fuertemente éxitos como La Sirena, La Saporrita, El Emperadorcito, entre otros.  A medida que transcurría cada uno de estos clásicos, la plaza quedaba cada vez más preparada para que una de las leyendas vivientes de la Fania All Star, se luciera en una ciudad que demostró estar abierta a otros ritmos.  "Aquí siempre y cuando la música sea buena tiene sus seguidores, prueba de ello es este espectáculo, en el cual hay muchos vallenatos que estamos gozando con buena salsa venezolana y ahora estamos esperando a Willie", dijo Heiner Castro.

VALLEDUPAR QUEDÓ COLONIZADA
A las 11:50 p.m. comenzó el show central, que tendría como protagonista a Willie Colón, quien totalmente vestido de negro y con sus infaltables lentes tipo Ray Ban, comenzó a interpretar 'Talento en Televisión', pieza musical que puso de pie a los asistentes al evento y a cantar cada estrofa de este éxito que salió al mercado en 1995.  Su voz lucía intacta, pese a sus 65 años.  "Buenas noches Valledupar, es un honor poder estar aquí", fueron las primeras palabras que entregó a los vallenatos, luego de enjuagar su boca con una fina bebida que tomaba de un vaso ubicado sobre su izquierda.   El show siguió con el disco que más coreó el público, 'Idilio', palabra que describe lo vivido en el parque, donde los vallenatos sostuvieron una relación musical romántica e intensa con el Rey del Trombón, quien de inmediato comenzó a hacer gala de sus dotes de músico al interpretar este instrumento de viento.

HUÉSPED DE HONOR
En medio del acto, el Malo del Bronx como es conocido en el mundo salsero, fue declarado huésped de honor, al recibir las llaves de la Ciudad, de manos del alcalde de Valledupar, Fredys Socarrás Reales.  "Es la primera vez que me dan unas llaves como esta en Colombia, para mí es un honor, de verdad, muchas gracias".

La presentación de uno de los mejores arreglistas que ha tenido la salsa siguió con éxitos como Asia, Sin poderte hablar, Gitana, Che che Cole, Calle luna, calle sol; ¡Oh! Qué será, y El gran varón.  "Si el mundo fuera justo, Héctor Lavoe estuviera vivo y todos los imitadores muertos". Colón también interpretó una estrofa del 'Cumpleaños feliz' a Valledupar.

Hacia la 1:25, William Anthony Colón, se despidió de los vallenatos con un hasta pronto y salió del escenario cantando.  El público lo aplaudió de manera constante y cuando se creía que la función había culminado, Colón regresó.  "Mi primer disco salió en 1966, era muy joven, hice este tema con Héctor Juan Pérez Martínez, y a partir de ahí cambió su nombre a Lavoe y quiero hacerle un tributo, porque si no fuera por él yo no estuviera aquí. Su música aún suena por todas partes y Colombia no es la excepción", declaró el nacido en New York, quien interpretó el disco 'Homenaje a Héctor Lavoe': "Lavoe, la voz del movimiento, Lavoe, de un buen puertorriqueño, Lavoe, mi voz te canta en esta función".

Discos como Periódico de ayer, El Todopoderoso y El cantante también fueron desempolvados por Colón y sus coristas.  Finalmente, luego de dos horas de buena salsa, a la 1:40 p.m. concluyó su show.  "Gracias por hacerme quedar bien, si no mañana salieran unos titulares muy feos diciendo que Willie Colón vino a Valledupar y nadie llegó".

Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth

 

Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth

Sunday, 16 Nov 2014 07:46 PM
By Clayton B. Reid
           
Image: Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth
With nasty cold fronts thrusting an icy and early winter across the continental U.S. — along with last winter described by USA Today as "one of the snowiest, coldest, most miserable on record" — climatologist John L. Casey thinks the weather pattern is here to stay for decades to come.

In fact, Casey, a former space shuttle engineer and NASA consultant, is out with the  provocative book "Dark Winter: How the Sun Is Causing a 30-Year Cold Spell," which warns that a radical shift in global climate is underway, and that Al Gore and other environmentalists have it completely wrong.  [Get "Dark Winter" with Free Offer — Click Here]

The earth, he says, is cooling, and cooling fast.

And unless the scientific community and political leaders act soon, cold, dark days are ahead.

Casey says the evidence is clear that the earth is rapidly growing colder because of diminished solar activity.

He says trends indicate we could be headed for colder temperatures similar to those seen in the late 1700s and early 1800s when the sun went into a "solar minimum" — a phenomenon with significantly reduced solar activity, including solar flares and sunspots.

If he's right, that would be very bad news.

"Dark Winter" posits that a 30-year period of cold has already begun. Frigid temperatures and the food shortages that inevitably result could lead to riots and chaos.

Casey tells Newsmax, "All you have to do is trust natural cycles and follow the facts, and that leads you to the inevitable conclusion that the sun controls the climate, and that a new cold era has begun."

Casey is president of the Space and Science Research Corp., an Orlando, Fla., climate research firm.

His new book debunks global warming orthodoxy. For more than a decade, he reports, the planet's oceans have been cooling. And since 2007, the atmospheric temperature has been cooling as well.

"The data is pretty solid," Casey says. "If you look at the 100-year global temperature chart, you look at the steep drop-off we've had since 2007. It's the steepest drop in global temperatures in the last hundred years."

So how can the media and scientific elites make a case for global warming when it's actually cooling?

Casey suggests climate-change theorists have simply wedded themselves to the wrong theory — namely, that global temperatures respond to the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Story continues below video.

Any scientist suggesting otherwise is castigated as a heretic, though there are other prominent scientists who support Casey.

Noted Russian astrophysicist Habibullo I. Abdussamatov has argued that a new mini-ice age has begun, though Casey doesn't go that far.

He does agree with Abdussamatov that the real driver of global climate is solar activity, namely sunspots. These correspond to shifts in global temperature with a greater than 90 percent accuracy, he says.

Special: Get John Casey's "Dark Winter" With Free Offer — Click Here

The environmental left focuses instead on ever-rising greenhouse emissions, suggesting nature is just taking a bit of a breather before the upward march in temperatures ineluctably resumes.

"There are two fundamental flaws with that," Casey says. "No. 1, the greenhouse-gas theory, and the global climate models that they produced, never permitted a pause. As long as CO2 levels were going up, the only thing that could happen was global temperatures could go up. That has not happened.

"No. 2, there could absolutely be no cooling, much less a pause. And yet we've been cooling for 11 years now."

The recent polar vortex that sent temperatures across the Midwest plunging to sub-zero records is not an aberration, Casey says.

If "Dark Winter" is right, that means the nation is busily preparing for the wrong calamity.

"We don't have 10 years," Casey warns. "We've squandered during President Obama's administration eight years ... and we didn't have eight years to squander."

The worst of the cooling cycle, Casey predicts, will hit in the late 2020s and the early 2030s.

Food riots will break out, demand for heating oil will spike, and the failure of the corn crop will put the squeeze on ethanol.

He even predicts the United States will ban agricultural exports to feed its own citizens.

When Casey developed his theories in 2007, he emerged with several predictions.

Rising temperatures would begin to reverse themselves within three years. The sun would enter a phase of reduced activity he called "solar hibernation." And oceanic and atmospheric temperatures would enter a long decline.

Special: Get John Casey's "Dark Winter" With Free Offer — Click Here

So far, all of Casey's predictions have come true. He says, "My theory tells you when it will be cold ... and it is the cold that kills."

Casey also suggests that a long-term cold spell will have dire effects on the earth's geology.

As air and ocean temperatures cool, the earth's crust begins changing, leading to more volcanic activity and earthquakes. Casey notes that the worst earthquake to strike the continental U.S. in modern times was in 1812 in New Madrid, Missouri — during the last great solar minimum.

The climate changes also will affect human activity and may be a prelude to revolutionary politics. He says the French Revolution took place at the beginning of the last solar minimum in 1789.

"It could be one of the reasons Putin is so eager to get Ukraine," Casey says. "For many decades before Ukraine became independent, it was the primary source of wheat for the Soviet Union during cold weather times. Putin must have the wheat of Ukraine for the new cold era."

Casey has a worried look as he talks about the revelations in "Dark Winter."

"There is no human on earth, much less here in the U.S., who has experienced the depth and duration of cold we're about to experience — it's that serious," he says.
