A travez del tiempo



A través del tiempo



A medida de que la humanidad ha ido evolucionado, se ha intentado remplazar  las tendencias agresivas, el salvajismo y el instinto animal que llevamos bien adherido en nuestros genes a expresiones más sutiles. Cuando la humanidad dio el salto al lenguaje escrito se produjo un enorme avance sobre las expresiones animales básicas hambre, sed, dolor, deseo frio, calor etc.

Hay tantas teorías que tratan de explicar cuál es la cualidad distintiva que nos separa de los animales pero ninguna es más convincente que nuestra capacidad para dominar el lenguaje y la escritura, y un sinfín  de libros para corroborarlo.
Por medio del lenguaje se pueden decir y hacer cosas sin llegar al contacto directo. Se puede atacar, se puede alabar, se puede crear una magnifica pieza literaria y al mismo tiempo destruir el carácter de una nación, persona o raza. Se puede enaltecer y/o envilecer.
Por ejemplo; los aztecas eran un pueblo cruel despiadado y maldito. Después de haber sido expulsados de Aztlan por las tribus nephitas debido a su carácter destructivo, emigraron hacia el sur dejando a su paso solo destrucción y dolor.  Practicaban la hechicería, los sacrificios humanos, y la guerra sistemática.
O se puede decir también. Los aztecas eran un pueblo valiente disciplinado y refinado, amante de las artes, la astronomía, la agricultura, la arquitectura y la religión cosmogónica.
Tanto las religiones como la ciencia nos muestran una visión de la humanidad muy similar. Pero no fue hasta el siglo  XX con los avances en el terreno de la psicología cuando pensadores y científicos como Segismundo Freud
postularon ciertas teorías que tienen sentido para explicar ese animal racional llamado hombre.
Según Freud  todos encerramos una fiera rabiosa que siempre quiere escapar,  gritar, copular, comer y a veces hasta destruir o herir. Esa bestia se encuentra escondida algunas veces dormida en esa maraña inexpugnable de pensamientos y emociones reprimidos que guardamos en el subconsciente. Para Freud somos una vasija de deseos reprimidos, una bestia enjaulada que busca salirse a todas horas. Todos los actos de salvajismo de la humanidad, crímenes, guerras,e inclusive los robos y los atracos que efectúan las elites financieras en contra de pueblos enteros son el resultado de esa bestia que se escapó y buscó satisfacer su instinto de dominación.
Si alguna vez le han dado un vistazo a las notas rojas de EUA o México veremos un sinfín de actos de violencia de humanos contra otros humanos, sin contar la que les inflijamos a los animales. Asesinatos, robos, violaciones y hasta torturas sin distinción de edad o sexo. Es esa bestia salvaje y hambrienta que anda suelta y buscando victimas.
Algunos de los condenados a muerte en EUA se han atrevido al último momento de confesar que sienten una urgencia irresistible por intoxicarse con la adrenalina que les da el quitarle la vida a otra persona o el forzar a alguien sexualmente y posteriormente asesinarla.

Mutilando nuestro planeta en nombre las utilidades ilimitadas



La agricultura industrializada en estos días no se conforma con supuestamente producir inmensas cantidades de comida y obtener con ello buenas ganancias. Es necesario crear una periferia de lucro alrededor de ella uso masivo de insecticidas y fertilizantes en conjunto con la introducción de “la más avanzada biotecnología” patentada para explotar al máximo la protección legal de la patente, que incluye demandar a cualquier agricultor que tenga entre sus cultivos plantas genéticamente modificadas si estos no la han comprado. O sea que si por accidente los campos se contaminan con semillas patentadas por algunos de los gigantes de la agro biotecnología esencialmente la transnacional Monsanto, entonces serás demandado al menos en los EUA pero ellos (las corporaciones) quieren aplicar los mismos principios en todo el planeta. Afortunadamente todavía hay algunos países que se oponen a estas prácticas monopolísticas, predatorias y dictatoriales.

Desde la introducción del famoso insecticida Round Up hasta la famosa semilla terminal (suicida) la agro-industria se enorgullece de sus triunfos glorificándolos hasta el cansancio y ocultando y/o desprestigiando a quienes se opongan o duden de las virtudes de esta nueva tecnología. Bienvenido al nuevo mundo de la alta biotecnología y la ingeniería genética. La de los cultivos y el ganado producidos a la medida de “nuestras” necesidades (supuestamente). Este es el mundo de los organismos genéticamente modificados.
Si a esto le agregamos que a China le ha gustado la idea de introducir cierto cultivos GMO (golden rice). Lo que hace pensar que China ha brincado de lleno a esta tecnología, por sus aplicaciones en control de población, mas las fabulosas ganancias que ofrece, y menos porque realmente sean benéficas. El famoso mito de la republica popular China se ha caído desde hace tiempo. Ha sido solo un mito, siempre han sido dirigidos por una elite dictatorial y sin escrúpulos.
Pero los EUA donde se originan estas tecnologías donde se queda? Estados Unidos la potencia protectora imperial de las libertades civiles y la democracia alrededor del mundo, de repente se revuelca en un lodo inmundo y propicia el despegue de una China amenazadora e inmensa, al comerciar e intercambiar bienes en su mayoría en condiciones de semi-esclavitud y sin derechos laborales incluyendo trabajos forzados y explotación de menores. Además de otorgar la protección de la ley a compañías monopolizadoras y con reputación criminal al aprobar patentes que protegen productos para consumo humano que dañan a la salud y por lo tanto a la población.
Primero nos han tratado de engañar con el cuentito de que la humanidad siempre ha modificado la semillas para incrementar la producción. Ese proceso se llama hibridación y es muy diferente a las nuevas técnicas que insertan un gene de un organismo totalmente ajeno a la planta o animal tratados. Estos tipos de Monsanto se pasan de listos, primero nos quieren hacer creer que sus técnicas no son diferentes en principio de las técnicas de nuestros antepasados. Cuando son expuestas sus falsedades las quieren cubrir con otra mayor afirmando que sus productos son substancialmente iguales a los que en condiciones similares la naturaleza produce.
Esas son la clase de mentirosos que la potencia americana promueve y defiende alrededor del mundo.

The Box of Pandoras



 The immigration debate in the US and Mexico its turning complicated at its best and dishonest at its worst, in both sides of the border there is plenty of hypocrisy. Everyone is pursuing their own selfish political and/or economical interests, and if that means never solving this problem, so be it.
 Everything gravitates around two systems in perpetual moral bankruptcy, one north, the other south of the Rio Grande.
North of the Rio Grande the once powerful “Coloso del Norte” (Northern Colossus,)like the Mexican media calls the US receives thousands of immigrants legal and illegal each year. Most of them from Mexico. Sixty per cent of all immigrants into US are from that part of the world.
 Lets zoom a little bit into Mexico; second largest Spanish speaking country, most populous Spanish speaking country (100+million people.)Second largest economy in Latin America and the third commercial partner of the US for at least 30 years, barely under Canada and China.
 Unlike the US its population has not been fostered by immigration from Europe due to the fact that Spaniards came to conquer and loot, (they didn’t bring their families) and didn’t do a thorough job in exterminating the natives as well as their Americans (Europeans) counterpart did. So its population is mainly mestizos or natives with a small percent of whites and Asians.
 Despite of the fact that Mexico and the US are from two different stocks of either white and/or native population you could say that Mexico has been an appendage of US since its inception.
All the leaders of the Mexican revolutions (independence and civil wars) found refugee and help in the US. (US intervened in other countries since its birth)not to mention the Mexican American War.
 From the very beginning US infiltrated the Mexican government to influence policies in Mexico. In exchange US will grant the Mexican political elite a great deal of slack regarding their internal issues.
 Two hundred years after its birth Mexico finds itself more dependant of the US than ever and the same could be said about the US. The most pressing issue now is indisputable crime. For others would be the economy, or immigration (all linked.)
 In 2011, in the state of Tamaulipas MX, a group of 72 immigrants from Central America, were kidnapped and later murdered in cold blood by one of the many rapacious criminal organizations that control the border with US to exploit every possible criminal endeavor.

 These crimes would have been just another massacre in a long list of unsolved murders along the wide Mexican territory if one poor soul hadn’t survived the ordeal. Later that same person identified Mexican immigration officials as the ones who delivered the immigrants to the brutal cartel.

 You might think these murders would open a Pandora box, in which the Mexican government would pursue justice for all immigrants crossing the Mexican territory to reach the American dream. Wrong! It just opened a box of pandoras that keep coming out without end in sight.
The root of the problem is entrenched very deep in the night of time, but is suffice to say that corruption is prevalent in all areas of the Mexican government. Everybody knows that in Mexico a moving violation is deleted right in the spot with a bribe.
As you ascend the chain of command of the Mexican security apparatus the premiums (bribes) to solve any problem civil or penal are adjusted according to the wealth of the suitor and the seriousness of the offense(like crooked insurance agent.) With this in context lets go back to the immigration issue  For the last ten years the immigration of Central Americans and others to US via MX has been increasing adding this to the long list of problems that the Mexican state is facing.
Central Americans emigrate to US for the same reasons Mexicans, Albanians, Africans or Russians do, to find their American dream, for some is work hard for a decent retirement, for others have a business, for others go to college, and for others just survive of the magnificent services that this country offers to the poor.
To get to US Central Americans have to cross multiple countries violating several sovereign states. In a perfect world, immigration would take place respecting international treaties and borders to guarantee the security of immigrants, and the integrity of the process. But we live in an unpredictable world with many dynamic situations. USA is an industrial power who has already peaked. The other countries are ascending that lather. (to be continued.)

The city nestled by the ocean, the forest, and the mountains

I always wanted to write reports about our surrounding world, more than a journal, a report from the road and/or of the road, a Rick Steves of the Americas. And to begin with, a report about the city I been living most of my life, Seattle WA.
Low tide
Rick trade mark is to travel through Europe narrating in more and less accurate and articulate way the main touristic attractions, including; food, restaurants, monuments, landmarks, and a little bit of culture and politics.
Seattle is a very cosmopolitan city; all the races and peoples of the world are amongst its inhabitants but in minor scale than Chicago and New York, and more and less like LA and Portland. The shortest sentence to describe Seattle and replace the old “Emerald City” cliché could be something like this; “the city nestled by the ocean, the forest, and the mountains. These headlines are enough by themselves to catch the attention of any tourist and all the tourists of the world.

The Reptiles are on the wall





The Reptiles are on the wall


Powerful in paper and virtual money, they are the parasitic elite of financiers, bankers, hedge fund managers, a conglomerate of investors, with interests mainly but not limited to the pharmaceutical, agribusiness, oil, including the military industrial complex contractors and subcontractors. They are the spearhead of American capitalism gone wild beyond any mad scientist’s expectations.This bundle comprises the degenerates that control everything. ‘Money, politics and power in this United States of amnesia,’ to quote the great Gore Vidal.They are the rulers of a game that has been rigged from the beginning. Our economic and political systems are based on inside information, peddling of influences and/or outright imposition on the more pure Soviet style. By interfering with and influencing who wins and who loses the famous free market enterprise of our capitalistic system is just a masquerade to hide the Wizards of Oz behind the bamboo curtains. The rulers of America are writing and rewriting the rules to favor some interest even if it means harm to our environment and consequently our health. Just ask Monsanto how many court decisions have been manipulated to favor its interests.Both political parties are entangled very deep with these parasitic elites. Bush was put in power by the barons of oil and in return he gave them tax breaks, deregulation and a series of never-ending wars enough to make each of his compadres millionaires. Obama was put there by Wall Street and in return he did pay their outstanding bills and backed down from his promises of universal health care. Instead he made health care insurance mandatory a beautiful gift to insurance companies, in fact we have a publicly subsidized financial sector. The rules are always twisted in favor of private interests in detriment of the common good and/or public interests.Knowing all these facts it is easy to deduce that the real power behind the throne is in the financial corporations and their toxic derivatives like oil companies, insurance companies, agribusiness, pharmaceutical, and - ah! - forgot to mention the weapons industrial complex. They control our health care system and our lives too.These blood sucking vampires are loyal to no one - their only purpose is to create fake wealth out of speculation. They fabricate weird terms like, Credit Default Swaps and Synthetic Collateralized Debt Obligations to play with our money and justify their voodooo math.We got to the point where the once proud people of the USA have been cornered with no choice but to submit or resist. The powerful private interests, especially mega corporations, will never give up an inch by allowing public interest to prevail.They have tasted already unlimited power and money under George II of Transtexania and they want more of it, like an insatiable nymphomaniac. They are sick to the bone.The illegitimate owners of the U.S., have the legit owners (We the People) under a heavy headlock to accept slavery. We have been brainwashed into believing that we have health care reform and financial reform, what a joke!And adding insult to injury, the Supreme Court has decided in favor of declaring corporations as having the same right to free speech as individuals. Can you believe BP has the right to the 5th thanks to Clarence Thomas, Scallia and all those Bush appointed judges in the pockets of BP or GE or Boeing?What a travesty of justice. Probably deep inside those corporate monsters minds lingers the evolutionary theory of the survival of the fittest no matter what. Sorry to tell you the truth but this is your evil mind telling to cheat, steal and kill in order to be filthy rich for the rest of your life uh!

Pirates in the Wall


Financial Pirates


Financiers, bankers, investors, speculators the Maddofs and Soros of the world. They are in control in Wall Street manipulating all possible situations and permutations. From mega frauds perpetuated against the American people and the whole planet to the mega Eco-disasters in the Gulf of Mexico.

The two disasters have something in common. They have been the product of excessive greed and despise for human life and nature. Our planet is going in flames and smoke just because they got us well situated as consumers of their products and ideas like in the movie The Wall “just another brick on the wall. Is anybody out there?
