The Empire forces Bolivian Presidential airplane to land in Vienna, evidencing its totalitarianism

In the most scandalous diplomatic incident since there is any sort of international law, the Presidential airplane of Evo Morales was forced to land in Vienna yesterday night. 

The versions so far contradict each other in the details but it seems that:
  1. France, Italy and Portugal did not allow the airplane to cross their air space.
  2. Spain allowed the transit only on the condition that it stopped in Canary Islands to be subject to military registry. Later it also forbade the transit altogether. 
  3. It is unclear by now if the landing in Austria was a mere emergency landing for lack of other options or if it was forced by the military of that country. What is clear is that the Austrian authorities searched the airplane thoroughly in clear violation of international law.
  4. By this time France and Portugal first and Spain later on have already lifted the flight ban, obviously after getting the approval of Washington.

The only comparable (actually worse) violations of International Law in recent times have been the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq by the USA (and vassals), in which no declaration of war was ever made. Excluding undeclared wars, we really have to dig in examples of very ancient times like the imprisonment of Richard Lionheart in Germany or the kidnapping, deceit and murder of Atahualpa by Pizarro.

And which is the pretext, the trigger of this unbelievable violation of sovereignty? The mere suspicion that whistleblower Edward J. Snowden might have traveled in that aircraft. 


The Empire of Terror versus Chaos and Freedom

Gladio ensign
Why is the Empire, not just the USA but also its boot-licking European vassals, so extremely overreacting, not even doubting to show their darkest Gestapo sewers' reality as a few individuals like Julian Assange or Edward Snowden challenge their secretive core in demand of transparency, of freedom of information, of democracy?

As I see it, the reason is that the secrets that have surfaced are just the tip of the iceberg: there is much more to hide like, for example, all the Gladio network of terrorist-spies that acts as underground government through NATO and some other associated countries, the fact that the Al Qaeda is nothing but an imperial sockpuppet or the truth of 9-11 (and many other "terror attacks") being actually false-flag self-attacks.

Most people even today refuse to believe, in spite of all the evidence, that the 9-11 attacks were performed by the USA itself, as a self-coup to impel the imperial totalitarianism both inside and outside its borders, serving as pretext for military invasions outside and emergency rule inside. But what if papers demonstrating this or other similarly outraging maneuvers would come to light? What if internal evidence shows beyond any doubts that we do not live in "democracies" but in fascist regimes with a mere formal varnish, that we are ruled by a terrorist mafia?

The Empire is therefore most nervous and is sending a clear signal to all would-be whistleblowers and researchers of the "deep state" to cower in fear: we will persecute you everywhere in the World, just like Rome did with Hannibal.

Of course many others are just silently killed in "accidents", "suicide" in jail by hanging with their hands tied to their back, or, as happened to Petra Kelly and her husband (former NATO general Gert Bastian) are shot in the most mysterious circumstances and police decrees it was "domestic violence". Other less important ones may lose their jobs, as happened to a CNT research journalist and librarian when she researched the Gladio network in the context of Spain, or, many years before her, Interviú journalists who dared to do the same. 

The shadow of Gladio, the "deep empire" is long and merciless. But then there are billions living precarious short lives on Earth, and many feel the need to do better than being cowardly accomplices of this machinery of terror... and the Empire cannot silence them all. This is surely the case of Snowden, who in spite of all, must feel he is for the first time in his life doing what he must, filling his existence with a wider meaning.

No, Chaos science does not allow for a perfect order in which everything is under totalitarian control forever, as in '1984': one gap after another will tear the dark curtain to rags. Such nightmare can only be a provisional situation, much more in the extremely complex and information-rich society we live in.

Kashmir: general strike and curfew after Army kills civilians

Indian-occupied Kashmir was paralyzed by a general strike on Monday after the Army murdered two civilians this weekend.

The occupation forces murdered one protester in a demonstration in repulse of the murder of another civilian just hours before. As reaction the independentist movement called for a general strike that had massive following. 

The occupant power declared the state of emergency.

Egypt: the massive protests continue, ministers resign, army sets deadline

The massive demonstrations in Egypt continue for three days in a row. 


At least five ministers, an advisor and former minister and the recently appointed governor of Ismailiya have resigned "in solidarity with the protesters".

The top commander of the Egyptian Army, Abdelfatah al-Sissi issued a deadline of 48 hours to "the political forces" to "solve and satisfy the demands of the people". Else they will intervene.

The anouncement was received with a clamor by the crowds, who chanted "Morsi is not our president, Sissi is with us".

Al-Sissi was appointed commander in chief by Morsi, in a move that was initially perceived as a maneuver by the President to keep the Army in line. However it is obvious by now that Morsi, who has been unwilling to behave democratically and call new elections for Parliament and the Constituent Assembly, angering everyone but his most fanatic followers, is totally out of touch with the social and political reality of Egypt. His rule is effectively over.

Brazil: football championship besieged by very angry protesters

Brazil just smashed Spain 3-0 inside the walls of the stadium but many Brazilians did not care at all. They were not there to celebrate nor cheer their national team but to fight against the waste of public resources in football instead of spending them in social programs. 

While the players kicked the pointless ball around the field, thousands of protesters and police forces fought a fierce battle. The tear gas unavoidably reached Maracaná Stadium, affecting part of the public. 

The demonstration began cheerfully at Plaza Saens Penha, some two kilometers away from the stadium, under applause of the neighbors. They chanted "Maracanós" (i.e. Maraca-us) and accused Governor Sérgio Cabral (PMDB) of being a dictator. 

However just hundreds of meters away from Maracaná, the clashes began as some protesters apparently attacked the police line. The 18,000 police and military personnel deployed responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and it seems that also live fire. 

A group of protesters attempted to assault the building of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CFB). 

Seven people were injured: five civilians and two police agents.

Cuba: Anarchist media arise in spite of censorship

Cuba also has many shadows. Until a few decades for example homosexuality was illegal and persecuted, fortunately this changed radically. But the persecution of communist libertarian (Anarchist) ideas and organizations, while less intense than in the past, is still ongoing. Therefore the shy rise of these media is to be welcomed and announced. 

Among these there is an irregular and so far clandestine newspaper ¡Tierra Nueva! (New Earth!), which invites to collaborate to all interested people except those who somehow live of others' work.

Anarchists fought in Cuba side by side with Castro and Che but, after the success of the Revolution, were persecuted by a regime that leaned too much in favor of the authoritarian Stalinist model. 

I can only hope that Cuba preserves the socialization of the economy while improving the grassroots participation and freedom of speech, as I believe is doing already to some extent. Not yet enough obviously.

Honduras: SAB-Miller illegally evicts again farmers from their lands

It is the fourth time in a row that seems endless. AZUNOSA, subsidiary of SAB-Miller has again evicted, with full state complicity, the farmers occupying lands attributed to them by the National Agrarian Institute (INA). 

It happened on June 29th in Aguablanca Sur (Progreso, department of Yoro) and, in spite of the blatant illegality, some 300 members of the police took part in the eviction. Heavy machinery also was used to demolish the homes of the farmers and destroy 420 Ha of maize plantations, as well as 280 Ha of yucca, banana, beans and vegetables.

Afterwards they began working the land to sow sugarcane.  

The farmers have been left with nothing but are reorganizing themselves.


Farmer occupation in Santa Barbara

600 farmer families took part in the recovery of lands in Canaan community (Naco, department of Santa Bárbara). They have already begun to work the land for food in what they describe as a process for food sovereignty. The occupied lands were assigned to agrarian reform in the 1970s.

Greece: bourgeois camp clearly heading to outright fascism

Two news snippets from I can't relax in Greece evidence how the conservative party (ND) in government (with necessary support from the so-called "moderate left") is clearly paving the way for the worst kind of fascism in the European country. 


Compulsory and arbitrary arrests for HIV tests

On one side the new Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, has re-issued a decree allowing police to arbitrarily arrest people to have them made forced HIV tests. The measure was in place previously for several months until it was suspended because of popular outcry. 

However in the time it was in place many people, mostly women, were arbitrarily arrested and those who tested positive saw their names and personal data published by the government, who accused them without evidence of being "prostitutes" and "a time bomb". 

The 17 women were not just publicly defamed but kept in jail for months and subjected to a mock trial in which they were accused of "intended bodily injury". They were finally acquitted and released in March.

This is the kind of human rights abuses one would expect of a Nazi regime, right? Exactly like the massive concentration camps for immigrants, allowing police to be penetrated to the marrow by the Nazi Party (Golden Dawn) or tolerating Nazi thugs to scare the hell out of the judge who was going to try one of them. 


Forming government with the Nazis

But is looks like it will get worse: after next elections, if maths allow, they will join forces directly with the Nazis. 

That is at least what Vryonas Polydoras declared this week when asked if they would join forces with Golden Dawn to form government: "of course". 

Polydoras, who used to be minister and speaker in Parliament, added:
We demonstrate sensitivity towards Golden Dawn, which got 600,000 votes [in the last election], will get one million [votes in the next] and we have memories of the Weimar constitution. We remember the Weimar constitution.

One wonders what he means with the references to Weimar, probably that the bourgeois collaboration of parties like his own or like PASOK in the rise of Hitler was "right".  Probably the guy thinks that anything is valid against socialism and he is surely ready to burn the Greek Parliament and blame the commies, exactly as the Nazis did with the Reichstag eighty years ago.


Update: example of highly unequal treatment to Anarchist and Fascists for the same crime

“DEMOCRACY FACTS: 

Sakkas K. He was arrested and is held in pre-trial detention for 30 months without trial. Accusation: Anarchist and possessing illegally a weapon (pistol)

Chaidas A. & Drakos P. Golden Dawn members who were arrested and were released immediately. Accusation: Possessing illegally a weapon (pistol, knifes, metal stick)

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FIGHTER AND PARA-STATE”

Notice that pre-trial detention beyond 18 months is illegal and therefore Kostas Sakkas is in hunger strike for his rights.
