The Economic Crises 2008-2013

Capitalism is running out tricks, a system base on privilege, nepotism, cronyism, and power in the long run get reduced to pure corruption, the malaise, which run into central economy of the socialist, communist, fascistic state. In many ways the new deal, was to tame capitalism, to give the illusion, the bottom, working class had a stake in the system, but  when Regan rein power started the Ann Rand fantasy, George W B with Cheney culminated the fantasy with the economic meltdown of 2008. Cheney said they created reality, now we are leaving the consequence of the fantasy, except Paul Ryan wanted to make the dystopia permanent.

The Original Sin

The concept of the original sin was developed around the second century by Ireneaus the Bishop of Lion in the struggle against in the Gnosticism (ODCC, ed by Frank Keslie Cross, Livingtone, 2005. Original Sin, The Oxford Dictionary of the Chritian Church (3 Edition), Oxford Press), his stamen: Adam action had grave concequence and it’s the source of mortality, sinfulness and enslavement by the sin. What was the original sin the pleasure of the material world (Akin D L, 2007. Atheology for the Church, B&H). At other words, we all born with a blemish soul, just because we born.

Greece and Rome societies were built on slave, most the slave was on subjugation of others (Finley, 1980. Acient Slavery and Modern Ideology, edt Brend D Shaw, Markus Wiener Pub). Findley for a slave society need 3 conditions, the society must be an agrarian society and private ownership of the land, secondly, the economy need to have a developed commodity market, third not enough labor. These conditions created environment for slave trade by the Portuguese, Spaniards and English. The innovation in the British colonies was the race as perpetual defined economic system (Charles Johnson and Patrica Smith, 1998. Africans in America: America´s Journey through Slavery, A  Harverst Book Harcourt Brace § Company; Hugh Thomas, 1997. The Slave Trade, Simon § Schuster). Two significant events, the constitution gave the slaves owners one in half vote against non-slave owners and from 1791-1801 slaves where use for the construction of the white house and the capitol in Washington – the  owners got pay between 40-60 Dollars (History of Slave Labors in the construction of the United States Capitol, William C Allen, Architectural Historian Office of the Architect Capitol, Richard Baker Historian of US Senate and Kenneth Kato Chief, Office of History and Preservation U.S. House of Representatives, 2005). Despite, the emancipation proclamation 3 years (1863) after the Civil War began in 1861 and civil right act of 1963, the New Film by Ken Burns (Sarah Burns and David McMahon) in 2012 film the central park five, narrated the story of the Central Park Jogger Case (1989), were fourth juveniles because their race and ethnic group (Spanish (Latin)-Decent), a trial by Media and the New York Police (not the first or will be the last) coerced into making false confessions, with no evidence like DNA, in fact the DNA from the crime scene did not match, in 2002 a confection by Matias Reyes serving a life sentence for other crimes, but not for the rape and killing of Trisha Meili, with the DNA evidence  match Reyes, exculpation, to the fourth innocent, the conviction was base the jury was all white. Burns as a guest NBC Meet the Press December, made the comment, Jefferson as one of Authors of the US constitution owned 150 other humans, and race in US as the original sin.

Friedläder in the 1980 engaged in debate with German historian Martin Broszat over the historicization of Nazi Germany (Broszat, hypothesis said the driving force of Nazi Germany was due competing internal at the time German institutions and not Hitler, implied the responsibility for the Holocaust was not Hitler). Friedländer respond to Broszat are in his two books Nazi Germany and the Jews: The years persecution, 1933-1939, 1997, Harper Collins and Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and Jews, 1939-1945, 2007, Harper Collins, where consider the Holocaust was a special period and not a long term evolution of the welfare state set in motion by Bismarck in the 19 century.

In 325 the First Council of Nicea call by the Roman Emperor Constantine, impacted the Jews and history of Europe in two fold, with separation from the Jews Calendar linked to the Jewish Passover and created a Christian independent calendar, but this independence when further, to be a Christian without the circumcision and  prohibition of Jews to won slaves (Kelly J N D, 1978. The Nicene Crisis in Early Christian Doctrines, Continuum), (the latest one impact economic relation between the Jews and Christians, Rome was build and economy of Slaves and through period of time, Jews were deny any right of land ownership to anything to survive, such marginalize group).

The Christian Social structure was based on the Ideal given by Plato in the republic and Augustine the Ideal City, where the Authority emanates and legitimize to the Church by a God and higher Feudal society.

The events created the Sin of Europe: Antisemitism. The first instances of physical violence against the Jews are mention by Philo of Alexandria, who witness events, the roots while were economics, but the legitimization because the Jews did not represented God physically, the non-Jews consider none physical God as Atheistic-denial of God (Gambetti S, 2007. Alexandria Progrom in Levy, Richard S, Antisemitism: A Historical Encyclopedia of Prejudice and Persecution, Vol 1, ABC-CLIO).

To the reformation, Antisemitism has been used as power relationship between the autocratic governance and the ideals of the pyramid of the Plato Republic, an order, where peasants under nobility, the nobility under king, and legitimize to governance given by Church and God.

The greater manifestation is found reconquest of Spain by catholic kings. In December 30, 1066 , Joseph HaNagid, the Jews vizier of Granda was crucified by an Arab Mob and proceeded to raze the Jewish Quarter and slaughter its 5,000 inhabitants (Stilmman N, 1979. The Jews of the Arabs Land, The Jewish Publication Society of America). The first expulsion of the Jews in Spain occur in 11 century under the Taifas (Szarmach P E, 1979, Aspects of Jewish culture in the Middle Ages, State University of New York Press), while in 589 the Third Council of Toledo under Visigoth rule, force baptize the children of mixed marriages between Jews and Christians, moreover, forbade the Jews from holding public office, from having intercourse with Christian women, and performing circumcision on slaves or Christians. In the great pyramid the Jews were under control and grace of the king, in all over Europe, the Nobility used the Jews situation is power play, in many case nobility borrow sums from Jews Lenders, and the nobility used this events to tax or used the population against the Jews. The first crusade victims were the French and German Jews.

While in Spain the culmination appear with the expulsion of 1492, and the hate of the new Christians culminated with the establishment of the inquisition. A reason was fear of the last days of Kingdom of Granada will ask for help of the Jews. While Catholic Monarch promised the Moorish Kingdom, they could continue to enjoy the right of practice their religion and civil rights, but in February 11, 1490 was repudiated.

Netanyahu in his book the Origins of the Inquisition in fifteen century 1995, introduce the concept used by the Old Christians against the New Christians was concept of Pure Blood (pp 1017-1018), while some critics made issue if comment had a race connotation, Netanyahu had access of the comment made by the Bishop of Toledo 1547, who made the original reference comment in the Achieves of University Salamanca-the translation given by Netanyahu is correct (Kaplan J, 1988. Jews and Judaism in the social thought of Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in Shmuel Almog, ed, Antisemitism Through the Ages, New York : Pergamon Press, pp153-160).

But the control of Antisemitism yield by Roman Catholic Church was lost in the reformation. Luther in 1543, 3 years for before his death, Luther wrote 65,000 word pamphlet, On the Jews and their Lies, after he try to convert Jews to the Christian reformation and his failure gave him the reason to write the remedial actions, like synagogues and Jews schools should be burn, religious written taken away, Rabbis forbidden to preach and execute if they do, the   Jews Population to be put to work as Agriculture Slave Labor (Luther Martin, On the Jews and Their Lies, Trans Martin H Bertram in Luther’s Works, 1971, Philadelphia Fortress Press).

The instruction of Secular Antisemitism, and Pogroms in late 18 and 19 century had Christian Religious connotation, the Roman Catholic Church, solidify the Antisemitism, by introducing an irrational hate, in the case of  Maddalena  a non-Jewish women working for a Jews family took the new born and baptize, eventually the church forcing the family relinquish the child, even in the 1800´the New York times make a crusade against the church for this force baptize, like in the case of Edgardo Mortara (Kerzer DI, 2001. The popes Against the Jews: The Vatican´s role in the rise of modern Anti-Semitism).

Antisemitism in the 19 century, in many places in Europe, in France with Dreyfus the Jewish Capitan accuse of spying for the German Higher command (eventually the real spy Major Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy, ousted by Lieutenant Colonel Picquard, in 1897 try to persuade his superiors of the culpability of Esterhazy, he was transfer to Tunisia, given the letters incriminating Esterhazy to Dreyfus Attorney, and Esterhazy lover published the incriminating letters. Esterhazy had a close door military trial and clear he was acquitted, which ignited anti-Semitic riots in Paris. Forcing Zola an open letter, j´accuse, saing the French government had accuse wrong men, and being Anti-Semitic.

With the introduction of race to the Antisemitism question, in the 19 century, taken deep roots in Germany, not just in conservative Germany Aristocrats, but the left, in part Marx theory of Labour theory value, where alienation of work given his own nature, the scope of the alienation when to national identity and Europe Jews were consider non-person, when Napoleon recognize the Jews one first acts is to have a least name, given place in the society.

Because Marx does not recognize, ethnic identity, the Jews in the socialist view because Jews hold to their identity to be oppressors, and this excluded from any rights (Götz Aly, 2011, Warum Die Deutschen? Warum Die Juden, Gleicheit, Neid und Rassehass 1800-1933, Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag, (Götz Aly was heavily criticizes by Daily Telegraph during WWII black soldiers were rapists and Gandhi was friend of Hitler = In this last one, first Gandhi in letter to Hitler July 23, 1939 used the word friend in a plea not to initiated an arm conflict, by then Germany had annex parts of Czech Republic, the letters are display a Indian film release in 2011 dealing with the letters, created a controversies from India actor portrait Hitler and Eva Braun to context of the film, while the director, producers defended the film show the differences between ideology of Gandy and Hitler and superiority Gandy Philosphy). The personal conflict between Marx and Bakunin (Michael Bakunin, Polemique contre le Juifs, 1872; Wheen Francis, 1999. Karl Marx Fourth Estate, W.W. Northon & Company Inc) and mutualism Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, accepted the concept alienation and exclusion of the Jews, by default the socialist argument regarding the Jews, he wrote this argument on the pamphlet on the Jews in 1847. Thilo Sarrazin, member of the German Democratic Socialist Party with controversial comments about immigration in his book Germany is Doing Away with itself, by limiting immigration to high skills, and saving the Muslims immigration is reluctant to integrated and relay on social dependents or Günter Grass served in 10^th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg and tired against Israel.

Between 1933-1942, 70 % of SS were German, Austria’s; most officers were Attorney and Roman Catholic (Weiss J, 1996. Ideology of death Why the Holocaust Happen in Germany, Elephant Paper Backs), more explicit Rosenberg Alfred the ideologies of Nazi party made construct the white is a race, when Germans start killing in Ukraine, Rosenberg made argument they also belong to the white race (Piper Ernst, 2007. Alfred Rosenberg: Hitlers Chefideologe, Panteon). The intellectual justification was given by the rector of Freiburg University, Heidgger, where the Super Man was only in the white Race had the right for expansion and the justification of expansion to Russia is room to growth (Farias Victor, 1987. Heidegger And the Nazism, Temple University Press). Rosenberg request to included Ukraine was not heard, but Cossacks in many cases defecting from the Red Army, 20,000 fought with Nazi German against the Russians.  

But In Lithuanian, Latvia and Estonia units attached to SS, fought against Russian, and they like in case of Hungary, Slovakia and Croatia, so efficient in exterminate Jews, Slaves and Partisan, in the case of Lithuanian and Estonia’s, the German carry the extermination in place the German brought Jew from France and Holland for liquidation, because Lithuanian and Estonia’s were more efficient in the killing then Germans (Margolis Rachel, 2010. A Partisan from Vilna, Academic Studies Press; note to mention in the Afterword, the translator mention the Attorney General call the author, because the own countrymen Lithuanians exterminated themselves 95% of the Jews, as mention in the book closed to Vilnius an open pit are the aches of 70,000 Lithuanian Jews, but she was summon for war crimes committed by the partisan Fania Brantsovky mention in the Book, but of course any of the home units in Lithuania and Estonia are being praise, without holding responsible in the participation in Genocide ).

In the case of Croatia and Slovakia in both countries the heads were Roman Catholic Priest committed the Genocide. Against the Jews, Roma, Slaves (In Hungary by the Fascist group Arrow Cross, even today Antisemitism and racism against Roma, the Jobbik Party receive 16.7% support).

The unique situation were two priest carry acts of Genocide, but the controversial does not finished there, Pius XII, is a controversial, after the diplomatic agreement between the Nazi regime and Vatican in 1933, being the Vatican, the first one to recognize diplomatic the new regime. In the 1920´s the Roman Catholic Church In Germany criticizes the National Socialism as incompatibility between the church and the ideology expose by the National Socialism, at the time 23 Million Germans were Catholics small compare to protestants close to 60 Million, but the Catholic Discipline had for example Catholic group was 1.5 Million, where protestant group was 700,000. Pacelline, being Cardinal in Munich at the time Soviet Republic of Bavaria, Pacelline view himself as Anti-Communist and dislike of the Jews because many belong to leadership (Cornwell John 1999. Hitler´s Pope: The secret history of Pius XII, Viking). One of critic against Pius XII, Roosvelt send his personal represented to inform the events Auschwitz, but Pius XII kept silence of any criticism of the Nazi Leadership (Santos Felix, 2012. Espańoles en la Alemania Nazi: Testimonios de visitatntes del III Reich entre 1933 y 1945, Edymion S.L.).

Franco send support to Hitler after support of Italy and Germany of 47,000 from June 24, 1941 to October 1943, part of the agreement, report by the Pais in fall 2012, the list of the name of 6,000 Spanish Jews, but Europe does not end with confronting the Protestant Germany and irony the head was Chancellor Adolf Hitler, but Vatican help to escape of the war criminals through Franco Spain Portugal, to the new home in Peron Argentina (Gońi Uki, 2002.  The Real Odessa, Granta Books).

In July 1940 to 1941, Tel Aviv, and Haifa was bomb by Fascist Kingdom of Italy and the bomb of Tel Aviv was together with the German Air force, in Tel Aviv 137 deaths, while Palestine was in control of the British mandated, the request come as personal appeal Mohammad Amin al-Husayni.

Al-Hussenie arrive to Italy, October 10, 1940, he outline a proposal the Axis Power will recognized independence and sovereignty of Arab States, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Tansjordan, the question of the holy place and Lebanon, and the Jewish question was solved in Germany and Italy (Lewis Bernard, 2002. The Jews of Islam, Greenwood Publising Group). November 28 meet with Adolf Hitler, in Al- Hussenie diary, he ask Hitler to make proclamation for Arab struggles for independence and liberation, and would support the eliminating of a national Jewish homeland. Hitler will not any such comment because will strength the Gaullists against Vichy France, but Germany objective would solely destroy of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere under the protection British power (Browning C R, 2007. The origins of the final solution: The evolution of  Nazi Jewish Policy, September 1939-March 1942, University of Nebraska Press; Fink Rober, 2006. The Great war for Civilization: The conquest of the Middle East, Harper Perennial).

In December 1942, Al-Hussenie gave the speech in the open of the Islamische Zentralinstitut, Berlin (From this center, seven center where created in Germany, but in the same time the center in Berlin become operational, a center in Munich being operational since 1941), which he serve as honorary chair, the institute gave the Muslims in Germany institutional ties to Nazi Germany (Güther, Niklas, Zankel, Sönke, 2006. Abrahams Enkel Jude, Christen, Muslime und die Schoa, Franl Steiner Verlag).

Al-Hussenie settle in Berlin in 1941 and his actions include block any children to be settle in Palestine, in the case of 500 children September 1943 from the town of Arbe in Croatia, the negotiation collapse under his pressure a year later in 25 July 1944 he wrote to the Hungary foreign minister to block safe pass of 900 Jewish Children and 100 adult  (Zertal Idith, 2005. Israel Holocaust and politics of nationhood, Cambridge University Press).
Al-Husseini important action from 1941 to recruit Muslin Volunteers for the German Army, he visited Bosnia and convince Muslin leaders for a Muslin SS, about 20,000 members (Mousavizadeh Nader, 1996. The Black Book of Bosnia: the consequence of appeasement, London:Pan/Ballantine; Gordon 2004. The SS: Hitler´s instrument of Terror, St Paul: Zenith Press), this actions never forgot and the Balkan conflict, due to Tito unified Yugoslavia but not pursuing the group who supported such crimes. In 1942 Al-Hussain helped to organize Arab students and North Africa émigrés into Arabishe Freihetkorps, their job was to hunt Allied parachutist in the Balkans and fought in Russian front.  Al-Husseini was indicted of crimes against humanity by the Yugoslavia, the British requested French for extradiction, since was given by the Swiss to the French (Hershco Tsilla, 2006. Le grand mufti de Jẻrusalem en France: Histoire dúbne e´vasion, Controverser, 224-273), but the French harbor him and helping to leave to Egypt with a fake Syrian passports. He settles in end in Lebanon

The innovation of industrial-mass genocide was not a German creation, but in a more crude ways was the Ottoman Empire genocide of 1.5 Million Armenians, which starter April 24, 1915, by killing 250 Armenian Intellectuals (Gaunt David, 2006.  Massacres, Resistance, Protector Muslin-Christians Relations in Eastern Anatolia during World War I, Piscatway, New Jersey Gorgias Press; Schaller,, Dominik J, Zimmerer, Jürgen, 2008. Late Ottoman genocides: the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and Young Turkish population and the exterminations policies – introduction, Journal of Genocide Research 10: 7-14).

The Ottoman empire since his inception had two measure significance confrontation with the west, while the battle of Lepanto put an end to Imperial ambition (Wheatcroft Andrew, 2003. Infidels: A History of the Conflict between Christendom and Islam, Penguin Books), but actual stop was twice when they try to take over Vienna (Wheatcroft Andrew, 2008. The Enemy and the Gate, Basic Books), the conquest of Constantinople set the Ottoman Empire in collision with the west (Wheatcroft Andrew, 1993. The Ottomans Dissolving Images, Penguin Books) ended with the failure WWI and ended any Islamic Imperial desire.   

The original sin of Islam is in two folds, one is Dhimmi where any is a second class and they are under protection not just the original protection tax, where the Pasha put the feet over the Dhimmi or the tradition to insult during the tax payment, but Islam does not tolerated equals, since they, the believers by God have right, but in the second fold the first power dominance is not Dhimmi, but they are treat like a women. The women are the original sin, they are treat is objects and total dominance the Haram, the not allot is total dominance, half of the populations is not equal (Karsh Efrain, 2007. Islamic Imperialism: A History, Yale University Press).

Today new powers are emerging, but the Original Sin is being magnified, China, the corruption manifested in the oppression of Tibet and the leaders treating the rest of the population, India treating their women is objects, the power differential is being seeing in the Cast System, while corruption underline this many Emerging power, in Brazil due to race and Poverty, the Favelas are the soul and Problem, while Venezuela the Petro-dollars had fuel a corruption in the 70´s where only the elite benefit, today with Chaves in his last days, every week 530 bodies are found just in Caracas, the insecurity.

Borrow Time

We are living on borrow time, from the first inhale of air in our lungs, to the last. From the first moment we feel the world is around us, and not just the human or other species under our yellow sun, but in few Billions years from now, where the yellow sun, become a red sun, in that moment, the live evolved under the yellow sun, will be no more, then and now the question is what to do, by then our descents will move to new worlds, or leave an situation where not depending on the yellow sun.

For that reason our spaceship: Earth, therefore we need to recognize we are in stewardship of this place, moreover we need to recognize the we have an obligation to each other, In Dune, Frank Herbert an ecologist, in his fiction novel, Dune was to train the right, for us the right is not just a rugged individual or collective dictatorship, bur in between: solidarity.

The collective dictatorship is represented by subjugation of the individual, base a religious believe found in theocratic society, found in Islam, Christianity, Judaism, even a non religious Buddhism.

Islam, historically is not just a social behaviour, but a political solution, where the ones who do not believe in their dogma where relegated to a second status Christians to Blue patches or Jews to Yellow patches, even limited how big their house or form of transportations, non-believers are limited to donkeys and horses, not camels since will be taller then believers, even to the sizes of their houses or places of worship.

Today we found theocratic states like Iran, Saudi Arabia where by law not just women are second class citizen but are reduce to be just property, but minorities in some case, under law a little better than a female, but a second class never less, an example, not just identification as such, but impact their lives from equal under law, from education to right under court. Events like in Egypt where Islamic Brotherhood is imposing a Islamic stated, where Christian Coptic’s will be relegated by law is permanent second class citizens, they are historically being second class citizen, but since Islamic Caliphate will be reduce into second class citizens.

Christianity has his periods where in British Colonies reactionary Protestants puritans deny not Just Catholics or Jews but impose a behaviour law, in the name to achieve a purity of ideal of early Christianity. Today is found in Protestants Fundamentalist and Roman Catholic Church with his obsession of the female sex, describe as dirt, by controlling sex behaviour abortion, in some ways the fear of not controlling the off spring, reduce ones again the female to just a type of property.

Judaism is a little more complicated, since Rome conquers Judah and denies the Jews right to the land and Constantine inherent the region through the Roman Empire, re-name Judah (Israel), where the two temples and close of 1,500 years of history to the name of Palestine to deny any right to the Jews, the competition between Christianity, Islam and Judaism who own God. Islam conquest of Palestine and in the 7 Century Islam codifies the second class citizens to Christians and Jews. Both of them made Jews permanent outsiders, the consequence in Europe was the Holocaust and Islam made the Jews as permanent second class citizen.

Other examples of this neo-religion, while not group have the right to impose in the case of China to Tibet, but Tibet was rule by monks who impose their own view of the world to their population.   

India the revival of Hindu fundamentalism mix with nationalism, created conflict with Islam, not to say the are historical roots to the conflict, the conquest of Islam to India, but this conquest are not unique, Islam conquest and hold Iberia Peninsula for 800 years, eventually Christian north, expulse Islam of the Peninsula. Few hundred years, Franco used this Islamic Armies against the Spanish Republic, in the name of Fascism.

The region where Islamic conquest had grave consequences was the Balkans, where Turk conquest of Christian Byzantium, but the stop of the Islamic Army in the Gates of Vienna, and WWI the pact between Imperial Germany, Austria and the Ottoman Empire and second chances when the Mufti of Jerusalem not just encourage and sanction the attack to Tel-Aviv in 1944 by fascist Italy, but created units attach to the SS not just in North Africa, but in Bosnia and Croatia, he was charges with crimes against humanity, since his units committed Genocide acts against the Slaves and Jews in Yugoslavia, in the 1990´s the Serbs, felt the need for revenge was necessary, the acts of WW II was never forgotten.

The other Dictators is the pseudo-science of Race where the idea of Authoritarian created by Mussolini Italy and supported by the House of Savoy, but Germany race become a political ideology to justify Germany Imperial ambition.

The dictatorship of class, where in the Spanish Revolution the class dictatorship was in direct conflict with the dictatorship of race, in the early days of the conflict the dictatorship of class made pact with the dictatorship of race, while in the long run the corruption of the absolute power collapse. But this fact does not mitigate the reasons why this ideologies rouse, the inequality of the 99% of the population.

Where, the rugged individualism has manifested in Liberal Democracies, where has build on Nepotism and privilege, now the 1% does not feel any need to compromised, they will like to hold and make sure, their off spring hold a privilege, what the arrogance ignorance forget, the New Deal was created to mitigated the contraposition, especially the Dictatorship of Class. The error, where the majority of population is deny access from education, to right of any kind of leaving using gate keepers and this gate keepers decided who is come through the door, what 2012 elections show, the Original sin in US Race, against African Americans the permanent under class and immigrants, in the 18, 19, and 20 Century, where Irish, Italian, Catholics and Jews, today Latin Americans, but permanent demographic ship, alter, the electoral college, the problem is eventually they become the elite—so far an exception is African Americans, since many ways US was found on an economic exploitation base on colour of the skin.

The answer first and most is Solidarity, a recognition, our time is limited in this earth, we can not survived just as individuals or a group forcing their will to the rest.

They are many levels to achieved solidarity, the first the political is a direct democracy so everyone is feel empower, not want should hold the power as permanent, as better, even takes longer to build a consensus, but need to be bases an equality of gender, religion, ethnic, race or sex orientation should not be any base for inequality.

In economic base,  property is base on privilege given by the a class, should be abolish, access of education is not just an skill or profession, but need to open for exploring the world around and ourselves, the economy should be run on the community need, should be local, cooperatives, group run enterprise. Yes, space exploration should be a fundamental; our time in this spaceship is limited. We should used this time, to learn from the evolution experiments, since our own survival depends, we should question and learn from nature, they are many ways to interpreted and to analyze the information, but more the any thing, solidarity, we are in all together, not 1%, but 100%, the injury to one is injury to all, the Wobblies.

Destine for Extinction

A fundamental question in Billions years from our time, our descendents are destine for extinction. Asimov in short history: “The Lat Question”, where the question can we escape entropy and the computer said should be light universe began.

Holt in “Why Does The World Exits?,” is not just a existential question, but the fear with his mortality. The fear of death is the unknown, and the glimpse of hope, is our descendents, have a chance, whether eternity exist or entropy have the final say he explorer in alternative, if we can created a new Universe similar to the Brahmin, Indian traditions of eternal universe being reborn.

Slave Trade

Herodutus in: „The Histories,“ described the fleet of  Athens in the battle of Salamis, the cost was 50 Silver Dinars, what historians found the mines was over work by slaves. Athens the sit of Democracy was on the shoulder Economy of slaves and women with not rights.

Still, slave was not unique to Athens, from Egypt, to the Parthan (Persia), slaves come from prisoner of war.

The most vivid economy in antiquity was Rome, in general a second source of slave was debt, mention in Herodotus and the Torah, tries to give some humanity to the Slave institution.  When the Portuguese began the import of slaves, in west Africa, war raids to capture prisoners to become slave was common in Islam, but what Portuguese demands for the need of Slaved elevated to industrial scale. The Kingdoms like the Congo, I west Africa devices this industrial raids to satisfy initially the Portuguese, eventually most Europe.

The right to slave trade by Portuguese, Spaniards and eventually  rest of Europe, British and French, limited only to Christians, to be in the trade, the description can be found in Hugh Thomas book, “The Slave Trade, the history of Atlantic Slave Trade: 1440-1870.”

While the British perfection industrial scale, but was in colonies in Maryland where in the 100´s laws where pass not decent can ever be free, by creating a permanent institution, become illegal 2 years after the Civil War (1863) between states with the Proclamation act, while, the reason was to brake the agrarian south, which economy was agrarian society, and actually is legal action happen 100 years later, 1963, with the civil rights.

During WWII conflict Nazi German use Jews and other members of the occupy area to be slave for the state.

Today, still countries like Sudan in some Islamic countries like South-Arabia this practise has stop, the sad part in the west women from Easter Europe for prostitution against their will and workers from China are being brought to the west kept in bondage for slave.

Fall Days-2012

Utopia of Kytes

Fear of Equality

We are leaving in very tumultuous times and the 1 % upper elite, shows fear of equality, what is interested, across Europe (http://www.bootsnall.com/articles/09-05/bone-churches-europe.html), in the case of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic, some are from the black plague, with the exception of the Hallstatt Karner – Hallstatt, Austria, where the names identify the sculls, but some many grave yards and “ossuaries,” with not name, after all when the time comes, we all have a end day and will come and all the accumulation of the world, have not meaning, can not be taken, and only the 0.01% created monuments of themselves, will be found in reposition or  in the museum. What is our obsession of a futile accumulation can never be taking and our descents in some generations will have not meaning of value.

Maybe, there is a psychological need of certain in our world, knowing we do not have any kind. Still, what we left, is how we treat of each other, because not individual can do alone, we are because what each another, if human will end today, the universe will not care, will run his path independent of us, what is important to the universe, is us, and everyone of us.

The course of our history depend and judgement is how we treat the least among us, and we all be forgotten and even in the annals of history the few what remember: what kind actions, Pharaoh (the owner of the big house) was a tyrant, when we see his populace and yoke of exploitation, all the nobility is remember the cruelty toward his own people: because in the end we are bones, with time just dust in time, but what we leave are our actions, not wealth or possessions, just are actions towards each other.

 

Spanish Tragedy-Valencia

Since the British brought Franco from Canaries to Spanish Morocco, in the time of the great social revolution 1936, due to the divided of the wealth to Nobility and few upper Burgess class, this tragedy and the fact when Nazi Germany  reoccupied the Rhineland, open salvo of WWII.
Fast forward after Franco death in the 1980´s, the Socialist Government like in the time of Republic did not carry the land reform, today 2/3 of Andalusia belong to a woman who spent most her time with plastic Surgery, La Condesa de Alba, an Aristocrat with more title any Aristocrat in Europe.
The crises of Span is base an pure Nepotism where political Parties use the Saving Bank is private funding to   extend to themselves, supporters and family.
Spain and Ireland crises was speculation of real state, between Marbella and Malaga, rest KM of white elephants of condominium (Legal, but the majority illegal, supposedly occupied by German and British retirees ( The Airport in Malaga, the welcome is written Firts in German, Second in English and the last in Spanish, the Famous Spanish pride has been lost for a few Euros) 
In the Summer when Spain was celebrated the European Football Championship, Valencia was burning 40,000 Acres, the tragedy of Valencia, a single Family (Fabar), from Alicante have rule for 140 Years, Communida Valencia, even they had not Aristocrat titles, just Nepotisim of 140 Years.

The disconnect the upper classes and the elites in this crises as example the Republican candidate visiting Louisiana recently beating by Isaac, where one of the residents complain the empathy show by this men was to go home (She loss her home) and call 112 (the FEMA, the federal Government Help line). The net worth of the Republican candidate is reported to be 250 Million USD.

The issue is not show empathy or not, the issue should be the despite of propaganda the Free Market has not exits and can never exits. The idol of his vice president is A R, in Atlas, her novel is base on the truth drivers of Capitalism, a women was rape become her partner in Business, but the undercurrent is about dominance and power.

While Marx, try to create a evolution of History base on Hegel rationalization of the reason entree for Christianity is an historical evolution. Marx wanted to separate two periods, Feudalism and Capitalism as distinct periods, but as results of a linear evolutionary process.

European philosophy has been obsess with power, since the inception of the fusion of the Catholic Church and Rome Empire by Constantine from Augustine to the German Philosophers of the 18 century, they have look every argument to rationalize and justification of the power of the few, but has not been unique to Christianity, Islam have gone further, using their own law is divine right to justify absolute power.

Free Market in the west mean, to the few, through controlling the access to vehicle to be in the upper class, gate keepers in the Education, limited to access to obtain the credit and therefore able to perpetuated the elite. In US the club is base on race--white, despite the US has the first African American President, but the measure power, from the wealth to the moral power.

The only problem is the immigration from Latin America to US: due to US interferences and support the small elite, who had hold, after Spaniard colonization. The Population has shifted, while the immigration has been culture conservative due to Catholicism, but because the white racisms in the US has not room for any one who is skin is different, the free market applied only to people who are like them white.

Antwerp and Flanders, have a tradition of race hate, in WWII, not just Anti-Semitics, not only a passive, but were part of SS 27th SS Volunteer Division Langemarck , participant in Eastern Front (Leningrad, Urine, Narva (Today Estonia, with SS units from Finland and Estonia) , Poremania) many were members of the Flemish National Party--at the time the Flemish wanted to be part of Holland, and the German had other plans.
 After, the race riots of the 1990´s (Flemish against everyone) and 2000´s (Muslim attack the Jews district), in both occasions were drive from economy disfranchises.
In the 60´s the Socialist Government encourage-supported the Flemish languages, and fomented Flemish nationalism. Today half of the public educations are most Muslim, but the city have many Flemish population and Jews Population.
The city is like island of different ethnic groups, with tense situation, while in the late 1990´s have a mix economy, Antwerp is the seventh large port in the world, Petrochemicals, Diamonds and around industrial base from textile, while the world economic meltdown of 2008, have today a major impact, Opel car manufacture and allot close real state.
