Inertia Creeps

Recollect me darling raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure then you can't inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying I fit nearly
Surrounds me though I get lonely
Slowly

Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly

In my home no chrome as clear as
See me now with my nearest dearest
Been there when I'm over careering
Room shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Would you found my irritant's itching
Been here before
Been here forever

Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly
She comes moving up slowly
Inertia creeps moving up slowly

She comes
I make no sound in my eider-down
Awake I lie in the morning's blue
Room is still my antenna in you
Nylon burns the bedspread with two
Gravity's zero see me stall
I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall
It can be sweet though incomplete though
And the frames will freeze
See me on all four's
It's been a long time

She comes
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
I want to x you
She comes

I caught your radio waves
I caught your radio waves
Will you take a string
Say you string me along
Say you string me along
Say inertia creeps
Inertia creeps and she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes

it's for U believe me !! Open your mind :oP

The First Time lyrics

I have a lover, a lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing.
Shows me colours when there’s none to see
Gives me hope when I can’t believe
That for the first time I feel love.
I have a brother, when I’m a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me.
I feel myself goin’ down
I just call and he comes around.
But for the first time I feel love.
My father is a rich man, he wears a rich man’s cloak.
He gave me the keys to his kingdom (coming)
Gave me a cup of gold.
He said “I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see”
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key
And I threw away the key.
For the first time, for the first time
For the first time, I feel love.

Disowned by the Ownership Society

"Disowned by the Ownership Society" by Naomi Klein
"Before the ownership society had a neat label, its creation was central to the success of the right-wing economic revolution around the world. The idea was simple: if working-class people owned a small piece of the market (...) they would cease to identify as workers and start to see themselves as owners, with the same interests as their bosses (...). Class consciousness would be a relic.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disowned by the Ownership Society

Naomi Klein

Remember the "ownership society," fixture of major George W. Bush addresses for the first four years of his presidency? "We're creating...an ownership society in this country, where more Americans than ever will be able to open up their door where they live and say, welcome to my house, welcome to my piece of property," Bush said in October 2004. Washington think-tanker Grover Norquist predicted that the ownership society would be Bush's greatest legacy, remembered "long after people can no longer pronounce or spell Fallujah." Yet in Bush's final State of the Union address, the once-ubiquitous phrase was conspicuously absent. And little wonder: rather than its proud father, Bush has turned out to be the ownership society's undertaker.

Well before the ownership society had a neat label, its creation was central to the success of the right-wing economic revolution around the world. The idea was simple: if working-class people owned a small piece of the market--a home mortgage, a stock portfolio, a private pension--they would cease to identify as workers and start to see themselves as owners, with the same interests as their bosses. That meant they could vote for politicians promising to improve stock performance rather than job conditions. Class consciousness would be a relic.

It was always tempting to dismiss the ownership society as an empty slogan--"hokum" as former Labor Secretary Robert Reich put it. But the ownership society was quite real. It was the answer to a roadblock long faced by politicians favoring policies to benefit the wealthy. The problem boiled down to this: people tend to vote their economic interests. Even in the wealthy United States, most people earn less than the average income. That means it is in the interest of the majority to vote for politicians promising to redistribute wealth from the top down.

So what to do? It was Margaret Thatcher who pioneered a solution. The effort centered on Britain's public housing, or council estates, which were filled with die-hard Labour Party supporters. In a bold move, Thatcher offered strong incentives to residents to buy their council estate flats at reduced rates (much as Bush did decades later by promoting subprime mortgages). Those who could afford it became homeowners while those who couldn't face rents almost twice as high as before, leading to an explosion of homelessness.

As a political strategy, it worked: the renters continued to oppose Thatcher, but polls showed that more than half of the newly minted owners did indeed switch their party affiliation to the Tories. The key was a psychological shift: they now thought like owners, and owners tend to vote Tory. The ownership society as a political project was born.

Across the Atlantic, Reagan ushered in a range of policies that similarly convinced the public that class divisions no longer existed. In 1988 only 26 percent of Americans told pollsters that they lived in a society bifurcated into "haves" and "have-nots"--71 percent rejected the whole idea of class. The real breakthrough, however, came in the 1990s, with the "democratization" of stock ownership, eventually leading to nearly half of American households owning stock. Stock watching became a national pastime, with tickers on TV screens becoming more common than weather forecasts. Main Street, we were told, had stormed the elite enclaves of Wall Street.

Once again, the shift was psychological. Stock ownership made up a relatively minor part of the average American's earnings, but in the era of frenetic downsizing and offshoring, this new class of amateur investor had a distinct shift in consciousness. Whenever a new round of layoffs was announced, sending another stock price soaring, many responded not by identifying with those who had lost their jobs, or by protesting the policies that had led to the layoffs, but by calling their brokers with instructions to buy.

Bush came to office determined to take these trends even further, to deliver Social Security accounts to Wall Street and target minority communities--traditionally out of the Republican Party's reach--for easy homeownership. "Under 50 percent of African Americans and Hispanic Americans own a home," Bush observed in 2002. "That's just too few." He called on Fannie Mae and the private sector "to unlock millions of dollars, to make it available for the purchase of a home"--an important reminder that subprime lenders were taking their cue straight from the top.

Today, the basic promises of the ownership society have been broken. First the dot-com bubble burst; then employees watched their stock-heavy pensions melt away with Enron and WorldCom. Now we have the subprime mortgage crisis, with more than 2 million homeowners facing foreclosure on their homes. Many are raiding their 401(k)s--their piece of the stock market--to pay their mortgage. Wall Street, meanwhile, has fallen out of love with Main Street. To avoid regulatory scrutiny, the new trend is away from publicly traded stocks and toward private equity. In November Nasdaq joined forces with several private banks, including Goldman Sachs, to form Portal Alliance, a private equity stock market open only to investors with assets upward of $100 million. In short order yesterday's ownership society has morphed into today's members-only society.

The mass eviction from the ownership society has profound political implications. According to a September Pew Research poll, 48 percent of Americans say they live in a society carved into haves and have-nots--nearly twice the number of 1988. Only 45 percent see themselves as part of the haves. In other words, we are seeing a return of the very class consciousness that the ownership society was supposed to erase. The free-market ideologues have lost an extremely potent psychological tool--and progressives have gained one. Now that John Edwards is out of the presidential race, the question is, will anyone dare to use it?

Berlin, Berlin, Berlin, Berlin.....

In last days I had been talking with a lot of friends form Berlin and with others who are very near or wish to go to live into Berlin, that magic, vibrant, alive city. That's one of my places on earth, the perfect place to have a hub-studio, or an artivist hub or an artivist studio hahaha

A lot of thinkers and artists choose Berlin to stay because is one of the more open, underground and alive city of Europe. Yesterday I was talking with some german's institutions and seems I will find some supports for my idea :o))))))))

2 days ago our tv show had a great share and all people are happy, ( that means more work hahaha), but I would like to avoid of tv, in fact I rejected a job offert of a Tampere local tv channel, as well as other tv offert. I know that seems insane, but I'm focusing in film, documetaries and fictional tv , I'm a bit tired of tv shows as "pasa palabra", "metro a metro", "el hormiguero", or "once" grrrrrrrr

well, more soon :o))))) (yep!! I come back hahahahahaha)

Ecuador: Comunidad Sarayaku denuncia invasión de su territorio

Ecuador: Comunidad Sarayaku denuncia invasión de su territorio (Por Pedro Cayuqueo)

Azlintuwe Puyo, Ecuador, 18 de diciembre.- Construcción ilegal de pista de aterrizaje. Una nueva amenaza se cierne sobre el Pueblo Sarayaku, en la amazonía ecuatoriana. En las últimas horas, dirigentes han denunciado la construcción ilegal de una pista de aterrizaje ilegal dentro de su territorio en la provincia de Pastaza, acción que denuncian como una nueva estrategia de las empresas petroleras para ingresar a una zona de la cual fueron expulsados años atrás.

Azkintuwe visitó la zona y comprobó la veracidad de la denuncia. Un llamado urgente a la comunidad nacional e internacional realizaron en las últimas horas las autoridades del pueblo Sarayaku, en la Amazonía ecuatoriana, debido a la construcción ilegal de una pista de aterrizaje en su territorio por parte de ex miembros de la comunidad aliados con empresas transnacionales petroleras.

Asi lo informó a través de un comunicado Dionisio Machoa, Presidente del Gobierno Sarayaku, quien llamó a las autoridades a respetar la soberania territorial de su pueblo y terminar con estas estrategias de "desmembramiento" que los afectan.

A continuación, texto completo con la declaración de la máxima autoridad Sarayaku:

"Sarayaku es un pueblo indígena kichwa de la Amazonía ecuatoriana, con más de 1000 habitantes y un territorio que abarca 140 000 hectáreas, de las cuales casi la totalidad está cubierta por bosques amazónicos primarios. La gente de Sarayaku nos hemos dado a conocer a nivel nacional e internacional por haber expulsado de nuestro territorio a las empresas petroleras.

Para defender nuestra selva y asegurar un desarrollo armónico, también hemos desarrollado un plan de manejo territorial que regula el uso de recursos naturales por parte de nosotros mismos. Esta lucha ha generado que la Comisión y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos dicten medidas que obligan al Estado ecuatoriano a proteger la integridad del territorio de Sarayaku.

En la actualidad, sin embargo, varios intereses están intentando quebrar nuestra lucha, a través de la desmembración de nuestro territorio. En abierta violación de los Estatutos y del Plan de Manejo Territorial de Sarayaku, se ha construido una pista de aterrizaje y
varias casas en una importante zona de caza y pesca de la gente de Sarayakillu y Kalikali, dos de las comunidades del pueblo de Sarayaku.

No es la primera vez que se trata de incursionar en esta zona, ya en 1989 tuvimos que expulsar de ahí a los trabajadores de las empresas petroleras ARCO - AGIP. El principal responsable de esta incursión es el Sr. Sergio Gualinga, quien aunque nació en Sarayaku abandonó su pueblo hace unos 25 años, y desde entonces ha vivido en la ciudad de Shell, y además varios años en los Estados Unidos.

Trabajó varios años para la compañía petrolera CGC como relacionador comunitario. La tarea de él era quebrar la resistencia de Sarayaku a través de engaños, división y calumnias, pero no lo pudo hacer. Además, Sergio Gualinga ha viajado a Alemania y Suiza, para pedir fondos a la cooperación internacional presentándose como un defensor de la selva y de los pueblos indígenas, incluso llegando a la sede de las Naciones Unidas, cuando en la realidad es nada más que un oportunista.

En la actualidad, Sergio Gualinga es coordinador de la Fundación Jurijuri. Según conocemos esta fundación jamás ha realizado obra social alguna, sino es nada más que una fachada para que Sergio Gualinga pueda usufructuar recursos de varias fuentes. En algunos otros sitios ha intentado crear nuevos centros poblados, pero siempre con resultados conflictivos.

Dentro de la fundación Jurijuri figura también el ciudadano suizo Konstantin Walter Henzi, casado con la hermana de Sergio Gualinga. En
una reunión mantenida con los dirigentes de Sarayaku en la ciudad de Puyo, Sergio Gualinga informó que los fondos para las obras en
Kutukachi provienen de sus familiares en el extranjero.

Sin embargo, por medio de otros ciudadanos suizos que han tenido contacto con gente de Sarayaku, hemos tenido conocimiento de que en Suiza la Fundación Jurijuri recauda fondos, falsamente alegando que es para la noble lucha de Sarayaku y la defensa de la selva, cuando en realidad es para la destrucción del pueblo de Sarayaku y el enriquecimiento personal de la antes mencionada persona.

Atrás de Sergio Gualinga está también la compañía petrolera italiana AGIP. A pesar de que la supuesta comunidad de Kutukachi todavía no es más que una pista de aterrizaje y unas casas deshabitadas, ya está incluida en el programa de relaciones comunitarias de la AGIP.

Esta petrolera ha financiado varios obras, e incluso vuelos de helicóptero, para trasladar herramientas y materiales, y los supuestos habitantes de la comunidad, quienes en su mayoría son gente que ha abandonado Sarayaku hace décadas atrás y desde entonces viven en la ciudad del Puyo.

Es necesario aclarar que la zona de Kutukachi es una zona estratégica para la AGIP, ya que queda cerca de un pozo exploratorio y se sospecha que haya reservas de petróleo, pero por nuestra resistencia la AGIP no tiene acceso a la zona. Por lo tanto a la AGIP le resulta muy conveniente crear una nueva supuesta comunidad habitada por oportunistas ajena de la lucha del pueblo de Sarayaku. Esta es una
estrategia ampliamente aplicada por la AGIP y otras empresas petroleras.

El CODENPE (Consejo de Desarrollo de las Nacionalices y Pueblos del Ecuador) ha cometido el error de entregar personería jurídica a la
supuesta comunidad de Kutukachi sin investigar a fondo el asunto. Otro cómplice es también el Consejo Provincial de Pastaza, que ha proveído fondos a la Fundación Jurijuri para que construya un camino vecinal desde la comunidad de Muritikucha, entrando al territorio de Sarayaku, pasando por Kutukachi, y llegando hasta el Río Rutunu.

El Consejo Provincial recibe fondos de la AGIP para obras de desarrollo en las comunidades dentro del bloque 10, y al parecer son estos fondos que el Consejo Provincial invierte en esta obra de destrucción del pueblo de Sarayaku.

Ante estos acontecimientos advertimos que la zona de Kutukachi está dentro del territorio indivisible e inalienable de Sarayaku. Allí rigen
los estatutos, reglamentos y plan de manejo territorial de Sarayaku, aprobados por la asamblea general del pueblo. Es decir, la zona queda reservada para actividades de caza, pesca y recolección, y nada más. Esto lo haremos respetar a través de nuestras autoridades
tradicionales.

Denunciamos ante la opinión pública nacional e internacional, al Gobierno del Ecuador, y al Gobierno de Italia, que la compañía petrolera italiana AGIP, con pleno conocimiento de causa, intenta a destruir a un pueblo, por el simple hecho de que una parte del bloque 10, adjudicado a esta empresa, queda dentro del territorio de este pueblo que mantiene una posición de defensa territorial y ambiental que es contraria a la explotación petrolera.

Exigimos al Gobierno Nacional, Ministerio de Minas y Petróleo, Petroecuador, y la Dirección Nacional de Protección Ambiental que cumplan con las medidas dictadas por la Comisión y Corte Interamericanas de Derechos Humanos, interviniendo inmediatamente para
impedir esta desmembración del territorio de Sarayaku.

Además solicitamos lo siguiente:

- Que el CODENPE rectifique, anulando la personería jurídica otorgada, por ignorancia, a la supuesta comunidad de Kutukachi.

- Que el Consejo Provincial respete la estructura organizativa de los pueblos indígenas y se abstenga de entregar fondos a grupos minúsculos de oportunistas que actúan fuera de los estatutos y reglamentos internos del pueblo.

- Que el Sr. Konstantin Henzi y otros ciudadanos suizos se abstengan de financiar a la Fundación Jurijuri, ya que esta fundación es nada más que un negocio personal del Sr. Sergio Gualinga y un instrumento de destrucción de los pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía ecuatoriana.

Dionisio Machoa, Presidente del Pueblo Originario Kichwa de Sarayaku.

Burning other year !!

I had been in an amazing party during 5 days haha yep !! as when I was teenager some time ago ;o)

All started with Marilyn Manson + Turbonegro's concert in MAdrid, after in Barcelona, and the surprise party in Vitoria !! where I met some real authenthic persons (Diego, Gorka, Virginia, Gustavo, Elena,…….) very open, funny and insane persons :o)))

I really needed that trip, and these wild days with some of my friends and making new ones, I felt very alive !!

I'm 34 now, so I'm starting to burn other year, full of experiences, joy and creativity and of course love :o)))

I received one of the most amazing gifts (that trip included). Some friends in real life and some internet friends made a kind of Synnöve's book, where they speak about our relation (friendship), our experiences together, our thoughts and dreams………and after all answered a few questions as Synnöve's last madness, Synnöve's last funny situation, etc

I speak about these 2 questions because big part of my friends replied same experiences hahaha

Seems my “last madness” was some time ago when I dismissed myself of my job, because I wanted to know a person who I only knew thru internet, and I wished to be free to do whatever haha yep !! C'est moi. At the end I never met that person because he was lying to me (and my inner self knew it), so I went to Jaca with some friends for a time hahaha very passionate???? maybe but what is live if you can't do that insane things? Just follow your feelings !!

According with my friends my last “romantic adventure” was some days ago when a boy salved to me to be squashed by elevator's doors in a book shop hahaha that kind of things use to happen to me :o))

and a lot of questions, and funnies replies, I feel very charned and blessed with my friends in real live and thru internet, so……..I LOVE YOU SO MUCH :O))))

A new Stage ??

yep !! yesterday I probably started a new stage in my life and in my “career” haha

And , one of the first things going to be the next Ecosynergy Art meeting, where we will develop a project to help new artists, artivists, to show their art work, sharing opportunities and opening ways.

The other is bbbbbrrrrrrrr (bbbrrrr means drum roll ;o) I found a producer to my documentary serie about the spirit of europeans or European's spirit, where I'm going to talk about Tantra, Shamanism, Chi Kung, Zen, Antrophosophic, Asatru, Wicca, etc

And the big one about my people, Indigenous People :o))))))))

mmmm I like that new stage :o)

But that new part have a very difficult part. I think a mega-meta-project to save or change that world, isn't be feasible or realistic. I believe in smalls projects with Global Visions, so since now, I just going to support these projects, and the people who develop it.

Hope you don't understand me in a bad or wrong way, I like poetic dreamers, but not people who are all day dreaming or thinking and never TAKE ACTION !!

The quote or phrase “Think Globally, Act Locally” has a lot of sense for me, in fact I think that is the way to change the current reality of pain, control, oppression……

A Bitter-Sweet day

Today, all persons, and specially europeans might be happy for Poland results in theirs election, one of the fascist's twins is out , well done !! Now the other !!

But, the "surprise" live today in Switzerland, what fucking have between eyes?? I can't believe a nazi party come back to have power in Europe. Viva Switzerland netrality !! yesterday were jews, who going to be today? me? you?

In other way, seems we will have free land in Argentina for our Artivist Kollektivet !! but I can't celebrate it more, not after the fucking swiss decision
