Wäre ich als Lehrerin vor dieser Klasse gestanden, hätte ich einigen Jungen und Mädchen dies sagen wollen:

Ihr wisst nicht, warum ihr hier zur Schule geht. Ihr seid hier, weil das Erziehungskonzept unserer zivilisierten Länder euch dazu zwingt. Ihr müsst euren Tag hier verbringen, weil ihr während der Schulzeit an keinem anderen Ort sein dürft.   Continue Reading…

Zuerst erhielt ich folgendes e-mail:   Continue Reading…

Non-governmental organizations are an increasingly important part of the 21st century international lanscape performing a variety of humanitarian tasks pertaining inter alia to issues of poverty, the environment and civil libertites. However, there is a dark side to NGOs. They have been and are currently being used as tools of foreign policy, specifically with the United States. Instead of using purely military force, the US has now moved to using NGOs as tools in its foreign policy implementation, specifically the National Endowment for Democracy, Freedom House, and Amnesty International.   Continue Reading…

What chance does the new minister of interior have in building public confidence in the way Egypt is policed? – Published on Al-Ahram weekly, by Reem Leila, 15 – 21 December 2011.

Newly appointed Minister of Interior Mohamed Ibrahim Youssef has received strict instructions from Prime Minister Kamal El-Ganzouri — they have met three times since Youssef was sworn in last week — to ensure security returns quickly to the streets. Youssef has pledged to rebuild confidence between the public and the police, ensure public safety and impose law and order in the streets.   Continue Reading…

… why not create them analog to Swiss political Institutions – we have:

• an Executive branch: the Federal Council, Switzerland’s government, has seven members. Each year, a different member becomes Federal President …
• a Legislative branch: the Parliament: The Federal Assembly is made up of two chambers, the National Council representing the people, and the Council of States, representing the cantons …
• The Sovereign is the people, as they people has the power for the last decision: (see politics of Switzerland: For any change in the constitution, a referendum is mandatory; for any change in a law, a referendum can be requested. Through referenda, citizens may challenge any law voted by federal parliament and through initiatives introduce amendments to the federal constitution, making Switzerland the closest state in the world to a direct democracy).  Continue Reading…

The first stage of Egypt’s first post-Mubarak parliamentary elections saw the silent majority turning out in their millions to vote despite continuing unrest and political divisions – Published on Al-Ahram, Issue No. 1074, weekly online, by Gamal Essam El-Din, 1-7 December 2011.

… A large number of foreign and local civil society organisations took part in monitoring the polls for the first time, with observers coming from the US-based International Foundation for Electoral Systems, the Carter Center at Emory University, and the National Democratic Institute and International Republican Institute. The observers toured a number of polling stations in Cairo, and reported positive experiences.   Continue Reading…

Published on Global Research.ca (see also on WORKER’s ACTION), by Shamus Cooke, November 21, 2011.

The Occupy Movement couldn’t have come along at a worse time, from the viewpoint of the Democrats. Election season is just getting started and Occupy has thrown a giant wrench into the political machinery. Some labor leaders too are sensing “politics as usual” shifting under their feet; the “get out the vote” for the Democrats may elicit blank stares from the rank and file. Occupy has the potential to create earthquakes within the labor movement and labor’s relationship to the Democrats, if it approaches the subject intelligently. This seismic shift could permanently change politics in the United States, much for the better.   Continue Reading…

History shows us it is easy for ‘grassroots’ campaigns to become co-opted by the very interests they are fighting against. A 21st-century grassroots movement faces many pitfalls. This was as true back in 1968 as it is today. It could be infiltrated by law enforcement and intelligence agencies, or co-opted by a major party. As the state continues to creep further into our lives, activists can expect that it will use all its resources – not just the violent reaction seen in New York overnight, but also its agents, informants and surveillance packages – in its effort to monitor both sides of any serious social debate.   Continue Reading…

1989, in einer Zeit intensiver Esoterik-Therapie-Workshops geschrieben (aber der Ursprung all dieser Erkenntnisse muss irgendwo zwischen der Psycho-Werkstatt in Big Sur /Kaliforniern und den buddhistischen Klöstern in Japan liegen, wo die Gründer von Big Sur damals ihre Erleuchtung holten … gemäss dem, was uns damals erklärt wurde). Hier also der Text gemäss dem, was ich selber damals verstanden habe. Und weil ich heute, im September 2011 immer noch dazu stehen kann, habe ich das damals Geschriebene zum Teil bloss etwas besser ausformuliert.  Continue Reading…

an expat women living in the United Arab Emirates made a trip in Europe for shoppings and found a nice sex toy for her personal use. Coming back to the UAE, the customs made her open bags, the toy was found and confiscated. No right to enter this in the UAE, even not for personal use. Even not for expats.

Explanation: not compatible with UAE’s rules.

The difference between Europe and UAE is – in fact – not only in the use of sex toys, but mainly that a state, a nation, a so called governement dominated by a ruling family can decide about privat lifes inside the own house – even of (westeners) expats.

Don’t be mystified by the so called modernity of Scheik led countries: they are deeply dominating your privat life, even if actually no arab spring is happening there. They are still deeply dictatorial about all your life.

to all those complaining Obama’s unability to save the world:

• Hey guys, do you forget that it is up to the US-people, means up to YOU to force a president what has to be done!
• Instead you are waiting that any poor president may perform miracles to save your A…, regardless all blackmailings of this naughty US-oligarchy and AGAINST a congress YOU had elected?

(War schon im Februar 2006 auf meinem Blog Mein privater Garten, heute etwas verdeutlicht).

Das Recht auf Distanz zur öffentlichen Meinung zu gehen und nach aussen zu vertreten fängt damit an, diese Fähigkeit erst einmal zu entwickeln. Das heisst, intim überzeugt sein, ich habe dieses Recht. Dann zugeben, wie viel bin ich dazu fähig? Kann ich öffentlich Anderstdenkenden gegenüberzutreten? Bin ich fähig, grösserem Druck stand zu halten? Es wird immer wieder vergessen, dass das auch gelernt werden muss (heute in der Schweiz etwa Arenafähigkeit* zu zeigen, dort auftreten zu können).

Dann weiter: bin ich überhaupt gewillt, zu so etwas anzutreten? Alleine? Denn gemeinsam (besonders als neu entstandene Partei oder gar Sekte) geht es doch besser. Solange Gemeinsamkeit besteht, kann eine öffentliche Gegenmeinung sehr lustvoll sein.  Continue Reading…

Was already my blogs on February 2008 in Mein privater Garten. – Linked on this blog with Ein kleines Arabermädchen in german.

Everyone has the right to change his individual behaviour, his believes, the way we understand ourselves. We are allowed to change all those arrangements giving an individual its Identity. Clan traditions have to come second. Formulated in UN language we could say: We have the right to change our identity, as long /as soon as we are able to do so.

But these Rights were created by a society of individuals, our western world. If we do not accept the behaviour, the mentality, the law of a group, we leave it as soon as we can. Or we try to change the group, we manipulate it in our sense. Continue Reading…

War schon im Februar 2006 auf meinem Blog Mein privater Garten.

Schon anfangs vierzehntes Jahrhundert waren die reichen Bürger von Köln die Herren der Stadt. Die Adeligen wohnten auf ihren Burgen, bekriegten sich gegenseitig, indem sie einander die Bauernhöfe niederbrannten und sonstigen Unfug anstellten. Sie begannen zu verarmen, weil sie nie arbeiten lernten.

Der Erzbischof von Köln durfte um 1340 herum nur dann in die Stadt, wenn seine Schäfchen ihn verlangten, oder wenn er in zweiter Instanz Recht sprechen musste. Da erfanden die Adeligen einen Trick, um die Macht wieder zu erhalten.

War schon im Januar 2008 auf meinem Blog Mein privater Garten.

Im Frühjahr 1989 beobachtete ich in der Pariser Metro – dicht neben mir stehend – eine Arabersippe, viele Erwachsene und zwei kleine Kinder. Ein Bub von zwei und ein Mädchen von vier Jahren. Die Fahrt dauerte lange, ich hatte genug Zeit zum hinsehen.

Alle Erwachsene stierten fortlaufend, ohne Unterbruch, mit hätschelnden Blicken auf den kleinen Knaben. Er war offensichtlich ihr innigstes Vergnügen. Das kleine Mädchen wurde während der ganzen halben Stunde nicht ein einziges Mal richtig beachtet. Ich startete eine Provokation. Ich stierte die ganze Zeit nur das Mädchen an, ruhig, innelich lächelnd, selbstbewusst bewunderte ich die Kleine.  Continue Reading…

A reaction to Mgcini Nyoni’s statement in Making a difference, my comment as a modest Swiss women watching Swiss politics:

Our neutrality:

• Neutrality is not meant when we face suffering and all the rest of world’s mess, but yes, some use the concept of neutrality as an excuse for zero responsibility for other countries.
• We Swiss feel ourselves being like all normal people, sometimes egoist and sometimes giving rather much of our personal money to charities for Africa and elsewhere, but then often we observe how our money disappears in endemic corruption and never reaches the real poor.
• Thus, our Swiss neutrality is in the collimator of opposite realities which fight each other. We the Swiss people make ourselve our legislation, often for the best of ourselves, not for the best of the rest of this world, a world showing behaviors we cannot understand nor accept.
• Our neutrality – like all human goods – can be, and is – misused by humans having the opportunity to do so. Misused to justify retirement of the world instead of acting in it.   Continue Reading…

Update May 24: read first Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation, on Global Research.ca, by Washinton’s Blog, May 21, 2011.

Ein paar Ueberlegungen:

Unser Wissen über die ganze Naturwissenschaft ist immer noch inkomplet. Wir blenden einen wichtigen Teil davon aus.
Schon in den achziger Jahren erzählten Physiker, der von uns als greifbar wahrgenommene physische Teil der Realität pendle laufend (Nachtrag: spekuliert wird 1 Mio/sec) hin und her zwischen dem Zustand, der allen unseren naturwissenschaftlichen Gesetzen entspricht (in diesem Zustand sind die bekannten Gesetze also wahr), und einem anderen Zustand, der mal als eine Art Energie, oder als Kleinstteilchen, in Science Fiction mal als Plasma, oder Antimaterie beschrieben wird. Dieses Hin- und Her pendeln passiere derart schnell, dass beide Teile praktisch immer gleichzeitig präsent seien (wie die zwei Seiten eines Geldstücks).  Continue Reading…

Published on Dissident Voice, by Manuel Garcia Jr., April 6th, 2011.

To the oppressed people of the world: if you want freedom, you will have to achieve it yourself. If you need help, you don’t deserve it. When you fully understand this, you will realize it is the most enlightened political principle that should govern international relations. This is humanitarian nonintervention.

If you live under a repressive government, a dictatorship, a kingship, or any form of unrepresentative and arbitrary authority, and you would like to overthrow it and punish your oppressors, and establish a government that is widely representative, that safeguards your political freedom and provides easy access to meaningful participation, then be aware that you must do this entirely on your own. There is no possibility of help from foreigners.

The reason for this is that your freedom is inconvenient to the rest of the world. The world has made its accommodations with your present regime, and any disruption of those arrangements will inconvenience the plans of your international neighbors, by disrupting their expectations. It does not matter whether your oppressive government is seen as “good” or “bad” by other states, it is simply that they are accustomed to their present protocols of interaction, and any interruption of business-as-usual costs money and time, and creates anxiety about the future.  Continue Reading…

My belief/comment to Fidel Castro’s text – Linked on this blog with NATO’s Inevitable War: The Flood of Lies regarding Libya.

• 1): Our humanity’s REAL big rainmakers are not bound by heart or any attachment to a country, even not to a region, not to a religion and never to any political party or Gov. They are not WITH them, they manipulating them. Their only God is power play, money, politics, desinformation, manipulation and other nice tools helping them to succeed. Point.
• 2): If you watch the Fruit-of-the-Tree factor, you may admit that they created an empire (America), becoming their tool helping dominate globally what exists.

But really successful rainmakers never put all their eggs in the same basket, so America was for a long period only their Army, and I guess Swiss banks were their money administrator and England was the dragon’s Head/gov.

After WW2 they began to diversify, first the Head, more and more the money and since some decades also the army. WHY?  Continue Reading…

… Mubarak has said he will not step aside until elections in September … //
… In talks with some opposition groups on February 6, including the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, the government offered some concessions, but protesters say that is not enough.
On February 7, Mubarak announced a 15 percent increase in public-sector wages and also … (full text).

My comment: and here is exactly the point: this elite, from which Mubarak is only the face, will NEVER give up. Now they try to divide the people into those receiving a bit more, and the rest. We can imagine that military and administrative elites receive more than 15%.
This brings me to the point that those who are the real poor people (the jobless not elite) are prepared by the actuel rulers to loose the fight. I guess with success, as this people’s manifestation is only accepted as long as fightless, called peacefull, means powerless, able to be removed in some hours by some privat police or mercenaries.
Mubarak and all elites worldwide know this, and as long as parts of a middle class elites can be recuperated, a real change will never be possible. Thus, the only solution lays in not letting split any civil society of any country into poors and less poors.

Already published on Mein Schreibstuben-Blog on August 6th, 2008. – Linked on my blogs with We Are The Power … , and with my reflection in german: zu Peter Sloterdjiks Buch die Verachtung der Massen. Update: also linked with Paradiesvorstellung.

(My today updated comments:

• this text was written questioning why people elect a Bush, later an Obama, and then are not (cannot be) satisfied in any way. Today I see the same reflections valuable for Egypts and other mass protests;
• please, to change people DOES NOT mean they have to submit. I mean we have to take back our planet, our economy, our ability do decide … etc …but people has to admit that they/we have still much to learn HOW RUNNING A REVOLUTION NOT ENDING IN A MASSACRE).

Have we to change the elite? Or, may be we have to change the people?   Continue Reading…

Watch this video: We Have The Power 9.31 min, published on David Icke.com, telling what many of us think by ourselves.

My comment:

• First question: WHO IS WE? I guess, in this video, WE means the whole humanity without this small group of submitters. But: what about those of our humanity who protect dictatorial structures against protests, fearing to loose their small advantages in this structure, thus being surrounded by a smell of corruption?
• Second question: exists there a real physical group of submitters – or is what we are living only the result of a complex structure we never were able to manage? Means, we only should learn to drive this machine?
• Third big question, if a hidden bad group exists really: how can we recognise them?

Do not forget beliefs on Social Darwinism … or of these perpetual tellings that we should reduce this humanity to 2 billion persons (idea mainly widespread in esoteric circles) … or this negative human vision seeing in poors only junkies and lazy people not wanting work … you know this list. These believes may encourage some to act in a sense we, the people, do not want.

Here I guess dominators would NOT be the ones operating actively the mentioned submission. This operators, the normal elite are themselves submitted to what happens … most of them not believing in conjuration theories, but believing theories of Social Darwinism … thus producing the same effects.

Have you never encountered in new rising groups (quickly called sects by the establishment), in groups learning a new technology to free yourselves etc. etc. … have you never encountered there tough, shining persons influencing the guide or the management with only small silly, not important beliefs? I have. Guess who they are?  Continue Reading…

(Schon am 6. August 2008 auf Mein Schreibstuben-Blog veröffentlicht, irgendwann anfangs der 90er Jahre geschrieben).

Auf meinen Blogs verlinkt mit Realität Lüge Ego-Aufgabe, mit Gefallene-Engel, Nicht-Gefallene-Engel … und wir als Menschheit, mit … trouvé pendant le reveil: le désir chez Freud, und mit zu Peter Sloterdjiks Buch die Verachtung der Massen.

Die menschliche Zukunft findet nur statt, wenn wir u.a. die Spaltung in x und y in ein akzeptables Gleichgewicht bringen und nicht mehr als Drama hochstilisieren. x und y stehen innerlich für Ich-Funktion zu unserer eigenen verlorenen Paradies-Ganzheit, aber hauptsächlich äusserlich für Einzelmensch zur ganzen Menschheit.

Spaltung durch alle Aspekte hindurch IST Leben, unvermeidlich und nicht ausradierbar. Das ist schmerzlich und doch gleichzeitig gewünscht: es steht Unabhängikgeit gegen Geborgenheit, wir wollen beides. Continue Reading…
