Soilidarity with Alfon, only arrested remaining in jail after the paneuropean strike on 14-N: new spanish political prisioner



Spain kingdom of satrapas, thieves and butchers. The number of political prisioner rise in europe. After the first paneuropean strike on 14-N there is still one person in jail. It is not a coincidence, as Alfonso Fernandez, Alfon, as his mother, are well know as activist. His detention was not fortuite, 100m from his home door, acompanied by his girlfriend. Hours of policial interrogatories every two hours, tortures and death threats made by hood terrorist. An as always Policial set [policial manipulation] and political interest. The govertment can't break his decision to fight, neither of his family.
This case looks similar to Alessio del Sordo case in itali, also victim of the state terrorism.
Alfonso Fernández Ortega, Alfonso, a 21-year-old neighbor of Vallecas in Madrid, left his home early on Wednesday November 14. There was one morning but that of 14N, day of the general strike. He was addressing to an informational picket, accompanied by his girlfriend. He planned to meet at a time with his mother and his uncle, that also support the strike actively. But Elena Ortega, the mother, could not locate him: a hundred yards from his house, Alfonso and his girlfriend were arrested . She was released with charges and must appear in court twice a month. Alfon spent in pretrial detention and meets in Soto del Real prison [Madrid] in what can be considered a penalty early to the sentence.
Preventive detention is a precautionary measure applied in cases that produce great social alarm. It's what the judge argued to send Alfon to prison, although it seems more alarm caused his arrest, and even what seems to be pursuing this case. Many accuse him of mounting police, allegedly to divert attention from the success of the general strike in Vallecas, where the closure of small businesses reached almost 100%.
Police said Alfon carrying a bag with gasoline at the time of his arrest, he denies end: "I'm calm because I have not done anything, I know I'm a scapegoat, that the purpose of the police was another and have used me for it. " He has told to his mother in one of the few visits that have allowed in jail. An arrest that seems not be fortuitous as Elena Ortega is a well-known activist in Vallecas neighborhood.
In an interview with the program Todo por la Causua [all for the cause] of Tele K, Vallecas local television, she says her son and his girlfriend refused to testify without counsel present and therefore suffered psychological torture: they were interrogated every two hours by hooded men threatened them doing "horrible things" to their families. As any statement failed, police decided to search at home. Elena realize that when five hooded policemen also appeared at dawn at home, trying to frighten she and her husband, also threatening them with what would happen to his son. She was adamant: "It is clear that we are leftists. Here are my republican flag, my shirt from the public school, the kind of books I have. But we are not terrorists. "
A Alfon has been applied F.I.E.S. Regime (Jail internal files and tratments), which involves isolation (called "prison within the prison"), restricts communications (can only receive a visit from his family) and controls its correspondence. It applies to the prison system inmates considered "dangerous", usually people belonging to armed gangs or drug lords. The High Court itself considers FIES illegal, violate the rights of prisoners and competencies overdo regulations. That has been applied to Alfon go on the same line of their detention: the criminalization of youth organized, critical and demanding through a nearby young antifascist groups and fan Rayo Vallecano Football Club. Bukaneros headquarters, supporters of this team declaring "racism, repression and football business", was also under policial search.
According to Elena Ortega and Bukaneros, which later issued a statement, the Ministry of Interior and the Government Office will undergo unprecedented persecution from 25-S because banners denouncing parties take, for example, that the Congress of the Deputies were surrounded by 1,500 police while Cristina Cifuentes's husband is "whereabouts unknown." Also reported that the arrest and imprisonment of Alfon delivery may be a smokescreen to divert attention from the historical manifestations of 14N and charges "disproportionate and inhumane" of the security forces.
Alfon's mother, who took her story to the International Congress Against Repression, organized by Animal Equality and held with great success in Madrid on 6 and 7 December, insists that government want to criminalize young people and working class neighborhoods shaken by the crisis, as Vallecas, Villaverde or Carabanchel neighbordhoods. He complains that are young wich have to deal with a system that denies them the future, kids who have had to leave the university because they can not pay and even vocational training after the rate hike, kids for whom there is no provision either they can enter the labor market. "A youth," he says, "no expectations, cornered, harassed and persecuted by the police."
She resists "the force of reason and truth" because Vallecas known since he was a handful of shacks and knows is the fight what can organize neighborhood. So warns that the mothers of these young people are reaching a limit: "We have given birth with love, have grown up with love and with great respect, and now are suffering thrashing, abuse and expoil. We will begin to react because we are not willing to allow  wrecking uor sons. "
Part of the process of destruction is the preventive detention. If a detainee is unprecedented and has a known address, should not go to prison. Nor if no flight risk or can be controlled by imposing a proportional bail. The opposite is to create a prisoner. In this case, for ideological reasons, is a political prisoner. As political as a general strike. http://kaosenlared.net/component/k2/item/40261-alfon-un-preso-pol%C3%ADtico-en-madrid.html

Sabotage: How to sabotage INDITEX, Biggest textile multinational in the world


BERSKA is missing covered by the skull

Why sabotage Inditex?
  The reasons are well known, such as working conditions similar to slavery in the sub-subcontractors in developing countries, voluntary redundancy for most senior staff or overloaded slave work for staff ...
  The result of this explotation is evident in the middle of the global crisis. In example Inditex [world first multinational textil group] has dropped 4% sales in Spain an other european countries, but increasing group profits in 22%. This is by selling in the Asian market, to a greater extent, and in the American, the total turnover of the group reached up to 17% compared to same comparative period of 2011.
    Amancio Ortega [Owner of the hole group] has become this November the second richest man in the world, Inditex knows no crisis but yes the employees: not hired enough staff, exploits existing one and who does not accept the rules it is fired. It's time to strike back.

Small actions imports:
 Here some actions we can take to stop or slow the sale in stores in the group, depending on the choice we will get a more or less long term. Small looses are big problems for the company.

1) Breaking Security Archs:
Each store has security arches, depending on the size of the store and the number of entrances there. We will find: metal detecting devices, anti bunker bags (bags filled  with foil aluminium paper) and alarms.
The company in charge of maintaining the arches takes time to repair and even more if have to replace, and depending on which city has produced such failure or breakage, so at least a couple of days the clothes with alarm output can be undetected. Considering that security personnel in retail stores it is not present in full time, certain number of people in small towns for example could find out what is the best time to go. In these shops in the morning often lack security. Always check the state of the exit arc by nearing "distractely" an alarmed cloth to see if the security system is really broken.

2) Spray in action: Quick and easy.
With a command of four or five people: two or three diversion safety employees, throwing dummies, noising. vandalized entry, etc.. while the remaining peers, one for each side of the store are arranged to spray the choths on the walls. Each tent has walls and tables, the tables do not interest us [cheap good]. The small furniture are not of interest because they don't involve large amounts of money to the company and are more easily spare, so we focus on the walls.
The walls are the target of the spray, we just need to go running around and creating a continuous line around the walls clothing and general store.
The damage from this action is important, talking about spoiling all the product displayed, becouse they remove the painting clohts from the sale at minimum damage. [They will close the store].
If the store is small it is sure they do not have either to replenish merchandise in the store.
This is surely one of the great - small actions, with little done maximun damage.

3) Broken windows:
A classic. The big crystals take days to relocate once requewsted. Meanwhale they usually clouse the shop.

Inditex Window Dresser Service outsourced to the company, so will have to make an extra outlay when the damages remedy. It can take days if produced by several shops, as the team has to move.

4) Break cash register:
Each store has some counters and these in turn with "x" cash register with touch screens, without which no one could keep the store running. The more cash register broken less profit for the company, if the operation paralyzed them closed shop.

Actions should also be done from within: internal sabotage
For all those people who are working for the Inditex group, you know better than anyone how much is achieved with little, are those who best know the operation and therefore how you can get to help the cause without being discovered, some of ideas are these:

- Turning off the security system of the entries:
The day of the strike, or every other day. A reasonable minimum of time, small spaces etc just moments. This is undetectable and allow increased thefts.

- Unconfiguring security systems:
As it was a power surge, security systems, ie alarms, are unconfigured if you lower the tab in the control panel and re-upload. This repeated quickly, system unconfigured just go crazy making and sound without having to do or not to do when you need to. It also undetectable. The result is that systems should be put on hold for review, increasing thefts.

Solidarity with Alessio del Sordo: anarchist comrade and political prisoner



   Alessio del Sordo, anarchist comrade, has always been a committed activist. In prison after the crackdown against NoTAV resistance of Jan26. The Italian political police, the DIGOS, has always been very aware, so it is of the few people still in jail even though the rest have been released. As so often we find a police set whose sole purpose is the domestication and control over the people in their desire to create slaves.

   Faced with a new punishment moving to other prision we publish a letter of August 23 so you can see how far the power of a person to preserve his dignity. The puerile attempt by the state to break their will and eliminate its membership is having the opposite effect expected, creating solidarity circles beyond the struggle for liberation.
   Alessio was finally moved to Asti.

   Compagno Alession, non stai solo. Tuoi camarade ti aspettano colle braccia aperte, la causa trascende il fatto, e gli fatti le frontiere. Tra poco tra noi. Giù le mura della prigione.
Forza Alessio!!!   

 Letter of August 23, 2012.
Hello to all:
I'm writing from Prato prison where I was transferred yesterday afternoon. A few days ago I reeked of transfer, so I was prepared for it. The previous days had been messing with a brigadier who had to leave the session after insults and blows. So I took it for granted the deportation and so I prepared.
They arrived at 05:30, I was awake and said I had no trouble making the trip. I wasted time going to the bathroom, drink a coffee (no revelry without coffee) and prepare my best to resist. At 06:30, one guard came to tell me it was time to go. I replied that I would not move. The guard was taken aback and I suggested him to ask for reinforcements. At that time, I alerted friends and fellow section saying that I was preparing to resist. I seid to my new cellmate not to meddle in the middle.
About an hour later, eight came believing that the mole would impress me and that I would yield. Actually, I was prepared. Well slathered in sunflower oil, a paper with all directions and three stamps pasted on cock with tape. To give me a little edge, covered the floor of the entrance to the cell with oil. For the umpteenth refusal they came, and the momentum made two slipping on the oil, a brigadier crashed the stool and was stunned. Just going to tip another blow and jumped on me. Melee a started . But thanks to the oil and some moves I learned in the yard, I resisted. I was defeated, as planned, but when you can not win, you have to make the defeat worth of telling.
They carried me on wings for the entire section in shouting insults mixed with greetings and lucks. I know nothing of my stuff. In the registry office, I followed challenging the carrion, inviting them to enter in the isolation cell. The cowards did not enter.
I should have left at 07:00. I left Le Vallette around 10:00. From armored I glimpsed comrades that came to hand out leaflets at the release from prison. The trip was a sauna. The bastards of the escort goes to eat at autogrill and left me boiling for an hour.
When we walked in Prato, I saw a red painted a yellow vomit wall : "VIVA Bresci". And, dammit, fellows, viva Bresci.
I enter in my section at 19:00, after classics prosecutions for entering.
Section III, medium security cameras everywhere in the hallways.
We are in three-cells, two kids with me who have just arrived from isolation. I said "good afternoon, prisoners, can I?", Response: "You're right, we are imprisoned, not arrested. Sure you can. " I received me by feeding me and getting ready the bed . For chronicles expect this morning. I admit I was a little tired yesterday.
Now I know that in this prison are 700 rooms, three quarter in medium security and high security the rest. They tell me that Prato is a punishment center. Meanwhile, this morning, after spread the word that had reached a new pilgrim, others came to greet me. Most know "Olga" and maintained correspondence. Someone has taken a look at a pamphlet in which I was a letter of mine, so they greeted with pats on the shoulder.
Now I want to resist better, I familiarized a bit and see how things go.
After several months in Turin XII I can take stock and think that we can get much organising among prisoners. I can take advantage of months of experience and a greater determination.
I am serene, with high morals and I know that the only defense against power is the direct attack.
I know a lot of fellow believe my choice of not to take legal defense is an unwise choice, little cunning and undermines the unity of the NO TAV movement. Think what you want, buddy, I can only say that I will use intelligence, cunning at my disposal to join the men and women who fight this system, to throw punches increasingly accurate and make it clear that I will continue facing wherever and whatever.
And be given to any arrangement petty politicians.
That said, I'm fine but devoid of virtually everything.
I will write again soon.
Fire and revolt,
Alessio

Banks own spanish main media


Translation from the article taken from Vertex Inmediaísta: Spain: The bank owns media groups.
The extra July / August issue of the journal 'Mongolia' appears with a detailed report that shows how deep these criminal institutions are in the ownership of the spanish mean media: Prisa, Unidad Editorial, Metro, Vocento, Grupo Godo ... all Large media conglomerates have banks among its major shareholders. Here an extract of the study:

Media and journalists like to see themselves as the Fourth Estate. A powerful image that makes them in addition a basic pillar of democracy. And, perhaps, still are. But it's doubtful that the power resides inside: the crisis has accelerated the "financialization of media companies," a very visible phenomenon in Spain.

The financial sector has always had a great influence over the media by two ways: by hiring advertising-banks are often among the major advertisers-and lending. But the recent crack shoot up debts of major Spanish media companies, and now, as they can not afford it, the bank is incorporated directly into the capital.

The group Prisa case , publisher of El Pais and owner of the Cadena SER, is paradigmatic. His debt was as high as 5,000 million € and reduce it to just 3,000M€. But by the way have joined capital from the Wall Street conglomerates , clustered in the Liberty vehicle, and now with Santander Bank, HSBC and Caixabank. And as the debt will still be too bulky, the company has opened its capital to twenty other banks.

On the companies board of directors of nearly every major media sit directly CEOs from the financial sector. And the symbiosis goes in two directions: the editors of La Vanguardia and La Razón are in turn vice CaixaBank and Sabadell Bank , respectively. The Fourth Estate should no longer put up with the pressure of the financial sector: now is directly the financial sector.

Despite of all, Prisa debt is around 3,000 million€ and the company has invited the following financial institutions to redeem debt and join the company's capital or increase its current stake: BBVA, Banco Sabadell, Banesto, Bankia, Bankinter Banca March, Kutxabank, Banco Caixa Geral Spanish Cooperative Bank, Ibercaja, Banco Pastor, Banco Popular, ICO, Liberbank, Cajatres Bank Group, NCG Banco, Bankia, Banco Holy Spirit, Caixa Banco de Investimento, Vitybank, Crédit Agricole, Societe General, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Commerzbank, Fortis, Raiffeisen Cooperative Centrae Boerenleenkbank, Alie Street Investments, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, BP Bank, Bank of America, Banco Itau, Bank Audi Saradar, Natixis.

PLANETA GROUP
The mean shareholder is Jose Manuel Lara, who in turn is vice president of Banco Sabadell.

The council includes Antena3 Marco Drago, director DeA Capital Fund (the fund linked to De Agostin, shareholder of A3) and Pedro Ramon Cajal (Renta4 Bank board).

VOCENTO
The Board of Directors includes Fernando Azaola Arteche (BBVA CEO), Rodrigo Echenique (Santander Bank) and Jaime Castellanos (Lazard).

ZETA
Principal creditor: Caixabank, which oversees the restructuring through John Llopart, one of his trusted consultants and council strongman Zeta.

Past and present of American military bases in Spain


What happened to the American militar bases in Spain?

HISTORY

  United States founded NATO in 1948 with two purposes. First was prevent European countries, weakened after 2nd WW, fell under the political influence of the USSR. The second was provided militar bases for possible open confrontation to spearhead its expansion in Europe, as at present time.

   On the defensive Spain-USA agreement of 26th september 1953, "Madrid Pacts", signed by Generalisimo Francisco Franco and the President Ainserhawer, USA manage to install military bases in Spain and close the clamp on the Mediterranean sea. The agreement was presented by the fascist regime of General Franco as a model of mutual aid, military and economic, between "two powers". USA secret clauses reserved the unilateral initiative and use of the facilities. USA kept the space under American laws.
   USA started investing and building military bases and installations. USA held the sovereignty of the bases and, despite participating staff from both countries were governed by U.S. law. The impact of the agreements conferred to Spain the figure of vassalage and the ability to automatically go to war if the U.S. did.

   In 63, with the signing of the "Joint Declaration", the bases went to Spanish sovereignty. It results in the recognition of Spain as a "strategic ally", confirmed by the construction of the NASA satellites monitoring and spying center of Robledo de Chavela, Madrid, and the construction of the first nuclear power plant, in Zorita, Guadalajara. Nevertheless maintaining American court of jurisdiction. American plans for Spain were large, judging from the investment.

   From 1973, with the advent of satellite technology, most bases and checkpoints become obsolete and was gradually transferred to the Spanish army.

   In 1986, after decades of joint maneuvers, Spain joins NATO. The novelty of the covenant is that the NATO organization controls the militar bases and facilities, not America. But if the United States controls NATO it was not a substantial change. Translate, USA had no staff or facilities to mantein becouse subcontracts Spain to do instead. It was cheaper.

   Everyone knows the large American military bases of NATO in Spain, as Torrejon de Ardoz, now used for civilian services as to NASA, Zaragoza Spanish base now that supports American logistical needs and Rota and Moron as permanent NATO military bases. But what of those other facilities?

 << "forests" of antennas, towers, bunkers, acuertalamientos, buildings of 15 storeys ... Everything came out of nowhere in 1954 at the summit of Mount Gorramendi in Elizondo (Navarra). That American base called Control Warning Squadron 877 W-6, was for 20 years the epicenter of the mystery until everything disappeared in 1974 after being blown fulminant facilities. The Franco regime was never clear about the activities that took place there, but it was suspected that it was a secret base communications prepared for any eventuality nuclear >>. 
Right now demolished and in ruins. DEMOLISHED.

Estaca de Bares, Galicia, Navy Base.
This base was opened in 1962 to operate in the LORAN system (Long Range Aid to Navigation). In 1978 passes to the USAF . The base served as a communications station until 1991. Demolition planned for 2007. In present days these facilities are in ruins. Almost from its opening was the source of all kinds of myths and legends, even saying that nuclear submarines were located. DEMOLISHED.

L'Estartit, (Baix Empordà), Catalonia, Navy base.
Also belonging to the naval base LORAN system. Located on Mount Rocamaura. The base was abandoned in 1994. The demolition of the military base antenna culminated in May 98 the dismantling of the military base. In recent years only worked on it a guidance system for boats left satellite radio obsolete. NATO bombers have there the tracing and coordination center between America, Europe and southern Africa. At least American released that other centers had more hidden and more strategic interest across Europe. DEMOLISHED.

CONCLUSIONS:
  In 1953 the regime capitulated to Ameicans. Since long, movements of rapprochement between the two regimes was expressed. The Spanish State Bankruptcy accelerate the process. Access to the installation of foreign forces in return for economic aid. Besides start settling foreign heavy industry through low cost of labor.
In 1963 U.S. install nuclear power plant in Spain, its strategic value is incalculable. Technology and operators were Americans. In 1968 Spain joined the treaty of non-proliferation. This does not prevent Americans keep on with its own nuclear policy at will, using the installed bases at its own. Nor off Spanish claims to be able to build a nuclear bomb.

Inoges, Soller, Estaca de Bares, Menorca, are fulcrums of general telecommunications network at service of Hunosa base.

  The radar systems and antennas was part of a network of flight tracking for a possible nuclear war with Russia. In this war, each country was a puzzle piece and like it or not they have a specific place on the global map. USA had a special interest in Spain by its position in the Mediterranean: shutoff valve and first transatlantic scale.

  At the end of the 70 American military bases in Spain have no longer interest in the outdated radar technology. 2 airports are now in civilian use. 2 LORAN tracing bases demolished, 2 aerial surveillance bases, Elizondo and the crumbling Sierr of Aitana also demolished. All other operating bases. The two shipyards were converted part of their business and private enterprise will, which also shows the interest of this militarily.

  It is remarkable the importance for the American military development position in the Mediterranean the  Balearic Islands. It is not possible to determine whether base has or has not American personnel.
NATO reconverted military sector. Got rid of the bases of less value, and increased the most importants. Americans, thanks to the treaty firm in 1953, which provide 25% of the Spanish budget, served to get control of his allies by the economy. In addition served to control his enemies by his strategic positioning. Finally the countries where invested in facilities and equipment meet part of their wars, as in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Libya.
  Spain has signed contracts for the sale of military equipment to countries from which supposedly have to defend, Venezuela for example. It is a question of money and represion, no of security.

  The army, far from disappearing strengthens. With each tecnologial  improvement increases their ability to control. In recent times it has transferred some of his power to Police Services, which have been militarized in equipment and tactics.
  Huge amounts of money are serve every year supporting this parasita that use the money in tis own profit. As they have the atribution of violence enay tentative to stop the daing will be stop with blood.
The military pantomime is play in this global world as a any other speculative business. Instead of CEO a General, instead of employee soldier. Their work: spend a earn money. They tools are the arms. But the raw material is human meat.
  We must said no to the army, no to the thievery and assesination. As our voice is not heard, weselves have to impose the sanity. No doubt that now the war is on the streets.

Spanish parasitism: 1 of the 15millones workers are unproductives by definition. And we wanted to change the unions!


  Spain is a dump: 5 million unemployed persons, 15 million workers, of which 944 000 people are real parasite to serve its own interests and paid directly by the state. Taking advantage of the extortion applying to their lackay subjects called state taxes.
  This is the size, number, and aparance of the dragging system.
Politicians
A study that has been echoed by the Net amounted to no less than 445,568 political appointees who work in Spain.
 The Autonomic State has duplicated 17 times the structure of state, one by region. Hightest number and proportion in Europe.
Trade Unions Delegates-Neither the government nor the unions give official data on the number of union released in Spain and there is no census.
Two years ago the CEOE, patron organization, ventured to give a figure of 'liberated' in the private sector in a report which stated that 4,200 workers devote all their time to union issues.
-In the case of public sector figures are between 9000 and 10,000 (adding the central government, regional and local).
From Moncloa Accords in 1978 Spanish representative system forces companies to have certain union delegates, depending of number of workers, paid by both companies and state with only menaging functions. "Worker elite". They are choose in the corrupted Union elections. Parasites.
Patronal  released Workerin Spain there is about 35,000 people who earn their living by working in one of the 5,000 clusters that are part of the structure of the management nurse, the CEOE, according to his yearbook.
Spanish patronal organization and state paid a number of person for menaging this organization. This jobs are finger-selected, nepotism.
Police
According to EUROSTAT in Spain's 224,000 police officers. Heirs of dictator's age they think haven't still end. They have complete impinity. Hightest number in Europe.
Military
The number of soldiers is around 110,000. The same as police but with a aristochratic touch. Untouched by goberment cuts.
Priests and religiousAccording to Cadena Ser Radio, there are in Spain about 60,000 religious in the Social Security. From Vaticano II Accords in 1971 Catholic churc godes a lot of privileges, that includes their financial network. As organization untouched by goberment cuts.  Taking adventage of goberment "Concert" contract and "Fundation" companies, private administration of public money modes.
   A total of 944,000 people directly dependent on the organization, draggign and ruin of the state. As seen, estates are organized monopolizing the domes and intermediate positions. All this parasite factions are organized to share the pie of the state and everyone gets something.

   People are confused and disorganized. On one hand, there are the possibilists who spect some benefit despite to the full wave of cuts. And there are the disillusioned who believe that the state is completely corrupted and can not get anything out of something that is already divided and has an owner, as the items and budgetary adjustment measures. The action strategies are completely different.

  Why the population is divided? The various factions are mixed directly with influencing citizenship. Following, are helped by the media, owned by the very wealthy. They lay people with the same interests against each other.

The change starts with the unions, because they are a massive and organized, natural vanguard of popular demand.

  The worst thing is to see that the vanguard of the protest is spearheaded by the estate, held by the state. Shell Unionists.

  This produces a bicefalism, between the popular movement represented by the 15-M, which has been able to shed the burden of the game of political parties and the labor union movement, which has not yet begun the process that will detach from this.

  We must recover the unions if we are a true sovereign force .

  How to recover the unions for the people? These short, fair and logical measures may be asked and require. To them if they can influence their situation because they are more exposed to social action.

Union must disclaim subsidies and released delegated.

  This is the condition sin equa non, essential, for unions stop being businesses, and stop being another transmission belt. Until we meet these two simple and difficult conditions continue to belong to unions and government defending tooth and nail, and not workers.

  Sorry, but in the current conditions do not believe that any changes or possible social influence on the state despite all demonstrations, as demonstrated by the "No to War", "No to the Bologna Process", "No to labor reform", " No to. .. Tarcoteca still will go out to the streets as usual.

  Important PS: As we must say there is only one big statewide union without release or grants in all this country, the proud CNT.

World Devaluation Plan: U.S. working as a Chinese. The Fed devaluation strength to match with China wages

The heads of the Fed, Federal Reserve of United States, have decided to turn on the dollars printing machine to devalue the currency. But either way, but for the purchase of junk mortgages, the so-called "bad bank" in Spain.
- The Federal Reserve announced a new monetary stimulus plan in order to give life to the famished U.S. economy where unemployment remains well above the levels that existed before the outbreak of the crisis.
- So that from this month and unlimited amount of time, the Fed will buy 40 billion dollars in mortgage-backed securities, ie toxic assets or "financial weapons of mass destruction" that triggered the current crisis .
- Is a crucial commitment to revitalize the U.S. economy by way of the devaluation of the dollar. This plan, coupled with released last week by the ECB, makes it clear that today nobody wants to have a strong currency and each block is determined to weaken its currency and sink.
Translating: Devaluation and 'bad bank'.
  The Americans are in a financial system lock and productive stop. Have find two solutions to this problems: cash injection into banks to promote liquidity and promote currency devaluation to increase exports.
   The maneuver is classic, but the novelty is that the Fed is behaving like the "bad bank". Is buying mortgages, freeing them banks of toxic assets while dollars flooded the market. As in Spain or Ireland the Fed is not intended to reduce the burden on homeowners with mortgages. Just the opposite. People who have lost their homes can take for "devalued", mission accomplished. The Fed does not want or can sell these foreclosed properties, their claim is demolished and make new ones, as in Ireland, so its price will plummet until it reaches the market price. The Fed will lose money in change and consummate the devaluation. Two birds with one stone.
  The delicate balance of Fed devaluation is how to keep unemployment above 8%.
  This is a maneuver that euro countries like Spain are unable to perform due to technical reasons.
 Does prayer card scam? Fed QE3 and unlimited monetary expansion

World Devaluation plan
  U.S. throws in the towel, as Europe gets rid of the idea of ​​the welfare state and maintain a large middle class. Opt for the devaluation, reduced wages and services. Its objective is matching salaries with those of Southeast Asia.
  The draft of global devaluation and wage equalization is underway. The Chinese average wage is about 300-500 € / month, countries like Greece have already lowered from 800 to 600€. Greece and Portugal are achieving their objectives, have taken about eight years, and they have left, until the consummation of the plan to reach 500 € month, for at least another 8. Germany has the minijobs, 2 million people subsisting on € 400 a month, the new pariah. In Spain have managed to reduce by 20% the general purchasing power thanks to a 25% unemployment and a tax increase in just two years. The next step is to translate it into the reduction of the minimum wage and reviewing agreements. The problem is that unemployed has no productive uses: spare.
  Exercise: We start 2000 € / month average wage in USA. Each year can decrease about 100 €. Moreover starting from 400 € month in China, with annual growth of 7%, which means that every 15 years the salary is twice. When deemed equivalent? With this plan, if all goes well, in about 20 years, in 2030. We do not believe an 100% adjust, but will approach, emphasizing socioeconomic differences in USA.
  But that's not all, because when wages are equalized to the Southeast Asian maquilas will move to Africa, or South America, where there are already many emplaced, starting a new round of devaluation.
  At no time Fed have proposed the reduction of debt. In contrast, provide for the generation of money will firing debt.

Conclusions
  The system has not been touched, so we will continue to suffer gusting balls and crisis. The U.S. population will suffer a progressive loss of general purchasing power and will be accompanied by a re-concentration of capital in the hands of four offshore and a complete polarization of society. The creation of ghettos around cities is evident. The Transnational companies control over the state will be clearer if cave, since money is fiduciary and the state, through the police and the army, the guarantor of the debts are paid. Yet perhaps manage to maintain its productive and unemployment under the 8%.
  Life U.S. foreign policy is marked by dependence of recurring wars that have produced most of the foreign debt and world domination. But as we see, the existence of debt is not what they most value, but the value of its currency, so it is reasonable to conduct further invasions, which help to devalue its currency, and allowing them to reach their goal before .

 We headed to a world-ghetto: the employee living and working in barracks. The owner living in neighborhoods and fortified luxury complex, shopping with his bodyguards in his armored limousine. This image is already common in many cities. No more middle class.

  Money is the definitive system of subjugation of the weak by imposition or stupid by manipulation. Along with the production system, based on private property and the protection of the army and police are the base and apex of capitalism. It's a hoax.

  There will be no re-evolution without chage of exchange system
  Can we organize ourselves to achieve a system, that be not only just, but that does not require money and based on real needs and capabilities? The media around us say yes. If we organize ourselves, will be able both system to live together? If the answer is yes let's work. If the answer is no: let's work harder.
There are Cooperatives. There are Assemblies. Let's use it!

                     θα καταστρέψει τον καπιταλισμό ή να καταστραφεί.

Pitiusa Case: Spanish Goberment awarded Global Hacker with the direction of National Cybersecurity Center

The Pitiusa Case is the most important case of corruption occurred in Europe. For its size, involvement and affected. It is a cross plot with endless ramifications and crossovers. We focus on Matías Bevilacqua, director of CFLabs, accused and mastermind of the plot. Despite his "necessary collaboration" as getter and distributor of information is still awarding with millions. But either way, goberment has given the "keys of the kingdom": access to critical infrastructure and cybersecurity. Its meaning is clear.
CFLabs wins the National Center of Excellence for CybersecurityThe company of Matías Bevilacqua, 36, computer programmer arrested and charged in the purchase and sale of confidential data plot dismantled by police, is awarded with the National Center of Excellence for Cybersecurity that the European Commission has awarded the Ministry of Interior, the Institute of Forensic Science and Security (ICFS) and several companies associated with it, which include CFLabs. All combined to achieve this goal.
The National Cyber ​​Security Center will be located on the campus of the Autonomous University of Madrid where the ICFS lies and will be inaugurated in September with a grant of 700,000 euros granted by the European Commission.
Laboratory participates CFLabs Cyber ​​Critical Infrastructure ProtectionThe Matías Bevilacqua company also participates, from the hand of that university institute on a project for the creation of the Laboratory for Critical Infrastructure Protection Cyber ​​aimed at preventing cyber defense and the main facilities of the country. Juan Manuel says that this project "is parked" for lack of funds.
Collaboration with the CNI and the Ministry of Interior.Bevilacqua collaborates also with the National Intelligence Center (CNI), confessed to the police who arrested him in Barcelona. In his police statement justified the finding of 140,000 euros in the company headquarters in Barcelona with orders from the Defense Ministry. The plot's integrated a string of detectives, policemen, police officers, brokers, bank employees and telephone companies selling private data.
http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2012/07/27/actualidad/1343415228_243805.html
What is the National Center of Excellence for Cybersecurity
This is actually the first Spanish espionage center created after the completion of the Critical Infrastructure Program (EPCIP) approved by the European Union following the 11-S, in order to "protect national security and espionage cyberterrorism industrial "growing threats for states and for large companies.
Who is Matias Bebilacqua
Brief biography as a student at the UPC, Politcnics Public University of Barcelona, in this link.
Professor of members of the Judiciary, Army and Spanish police
Matías Bevilacqua has given numerous lectures, conferences and training courses to civil guards, police officers, detectives, prosecutors and judges of the High Court and the Supreme Court.
CFLabs Director: mercenaries network.
Before creating CFLabs the hacker worked in front of the R+D+ I in Cybex, computer forensics company administered by Juan de La Torre, detective for the Intelligence Bureau agency. Has been arrested with some others detectives whom coincided them. According to the summary has been imputed of the analyzed computers of Unilever and Mines of Rio Tinto and Niscayah managers on behalf of the same companies.
Collaboration with the Venezuelan government
CFLabs, the company was among the three hired by the Venezuelan government for the construction of forensic laboratories and technological equipment of the National Telematic Incidents Management Center VenCERT said Anthony Daquin, former security adviser to the General Command of the Venezuelan Army .
  Senior CNI, as he himself admitted during interrogation in the course of Pitiusa Operation.
  Accused of espionage by empty email of the detective Sara Dionisio Garcia, another person with he worked and with which collaborated in the plot.
  Accused of having extorted Telma Ortiz, sister of Princess Letizia, and Jose Lopez del Hierro, husband of the Secretary General of the PP [main spanish rignt party actually ruling the state], María Dolores de Cospedal.

Conclusions
- The Pitiusa Case seems to have reached a dead end. Too far. The manure pit that no one wants to clean. Translation, everybody knows the people involved but no one wants to start a war that will lose.

- As clean slate of facts, those persons involved in the case begin to develop their activities. This man such a filthy rich thanks to cyber insecurity that hiemself produces. With this award the state gets the gun to his head and forefinger on the trigger. Time to time.

- The ramifications of the case involve no less than to Ministries such as Employment and Home Affairs, the CNI [spanish espionage organization like a mix between CIA and FBI] and a myriad of entities, both public and private or purely criminal. Magistrates, military, police and all those who parasite lives bleed the population.

- For the operation of the plot would require the necessary assistance of at least a computer expert, a hacker, here it is. Catch, and far from being in jail is put forward directing and researching on cybersecurity, both the state and business. For them we sense this person has sensitive information. In his strategy has opted to take hold over the power that information gives. He has decides stand controlling the back door of the most important informatic systems in the state.

- Bevilacqua has been a "girl for everything". He has taught all kinds of reactionary and revolutionary, has worked, assembled and run by and for corporations, organized systems, hacked computers, pirated networks and stolen all kind of documentation. He has worked for the state and for their preambles. As a good entrepreneur has diversified. But what has pleased and so is fought for a place among the top management. Be CEO. Their services are beyond parties and politicians, because when these will fall by ballots he will remain at his post.

- As police traffics with drug this man traffics with the data retrieved.

- If the state is protected with this kind of people the capitalist system is closer than we thought to fall.

Congratulations, Mati, if anyone can make an hispaleaks that's you, pity you're a creep fascist.
