Herpes And Mosquito Bites

Against Cuba, which is more "lie still" Fidel "



always been like, medium-sized beings are picking on the young because they do not mean any threat to their safety. The large but prove a great reason to be hit with the skin stay clean, because nobody has the power to ko him down with her cheek.
Let's review the situation in Cuba, are called "dissidents" in violation of principles enshrined in the constitution of the island (approved at referendum by a large majority) in exchange for economic improvements from the bloody hands of the Cuban-American Mafia based in the Florida, perform actions contrary the current system. The magnitude of the actions is debatable, but always affecting the integrity of the system, and that is reprehensible, especially when it violates constitutional rights and does not represent more than 1% of the Cuban population.
In addition, over 150 U.S. wars in its arsenal, is able to attack any dark corner of the world, killing civilians, innocent people, women, children and also have the power to imprison anyone, not even allowed to trials summaries, and keep them locked up without the right to defend itself, to top it off these people are brutally tortured.
The European Union represents an average force, and as he feared the rule makes a decision, to punish Cuba for violating human rights. But where is the penalty to the U.S.?, Because they block it?, Because it is not analyzed the situation of this power? It is easier to create facade of Democrats helping to sink a small isolated country economically by the USA, for having committed the terrible sin of choosing their own path.

against Yoani blogger? Cuba is not

www.rebelion.org Site Taken

Funny how the anti-Castro blog Yoani Sánchez and the hype that continues to give the newspaper El Pais . So funny, it is serving to let the world see that in a country where they say there is no freedom of expression a woman published every day what he wants without successor nothing. Did not have access to mass media on the island? Nor do we have other access to mass media in Spain. In addition, Yoani published using a blog on the Internet in which she hangs his articles, in which he denounced, among other things, that the Cubans have no Internet access.

On 25 March, Google accounted for in 40 / 2 "news media that complained that the Cuban authorities had blocked famous blog. The news was based only on the author's assertion that the Cubans could not access your blog because he had blocked the Cuban government. Did not we agree that the Cubans could not access the Internet? What will block you? The news was baseless, I called half a dozen friends in Havana and everyone could access your page, however a few weeks ago an entire ministry was two days without being able to use the Internet by a technical problem. Do they also blocked the Cuban government itself?

As Yoani criticizes what he wants in a country where they say you can not make criticisms and hangs his word every day in a blog in a country where they say they are prohibited from having Internet El Pais says now in his home June 21 that Fidel Castro of his last fights a battle against freedom of expression on the Internet "because he criticized an article in the famous blog. It took into the inside pages of the newspaper , read her husband's response to Fidel Castro, known for the umpteenth time that day the prize, remember Yoani texts that alienated the Cuban president, and finally, the fourth paragraph of the story we read inside Castro's attack on freedom of expression. It was in the prologue of a book on Bolivia and responded to the statement, "blogger" who claimed that there is opposition or have "political color" and that for his generation, the left and rights are "increasingly obsolete concepts." Castro replied: "We are serious allegations of this kind, immediately reported the mass of imperialism, but the generalization as their slogan, worse still, it has young Cubans who think this way, special envoys to conduct sabotage and press work neocolonial of ancient English metropolis that reward. " That is the modus operandi with the "dictator" and "repressive" freedoms attacks freedom of expression. Write that in the preface to a book, an eloquent example of the relentless fury with which the "Castro dictatorship" crushes raising his voice.

Of course, at such ferocity Yoani could only act in response to this example of feminism and maturity: "The feeling attacked by someone with power infinitely superior to mine, with more than twice my age and also, as my neighbors say the children-by a 'macho-male-male' I decided to be my husband who will respond.

Connect me.

optical fiber ensures a broadband connection very secure, efficient and high capacity. Currently you can not conceive that the connectivity of a country is structured on the basis of satellite connections. Cuba does not have an efficient connectivity, much money is paid annually by a satellite connection that only provides the bandwidth equivalent to any American institution. That is a country of 12 million has a transfer rate comparable to that of a foreign school. Supposedly
Cuba citizens are deprived of full access to the Internet (which most evil government) all boast to say that ordinary citizens are deprived of this precious right, but what is being correctly accusing responsible? I think not, on many occasions we have tried to agree on access to the extensive network of fiber optic cables that we circulate, and always negative justification of illegal economic blockade against the island echoes to orders.
Who is responsible for the lack of access to the network of networks, Cuba, or the American blockade. Draw your own conclusions. Here I post images
cables around us, so close and we can not connect.

justify human rights? Policy and Speed \u200b\u200b

By Eduardo Hernando Nieto

Recently I was cordially invited by a young (and not so) of the NGO "Transparency" to intervene in a discussion: with Professor Alessandro Caviglia, concerning the validity of human rights.
Since I had nothing to substantiate or prove - as to why there are those who worship them - Alessandro Caviglia started her argument [1] ruling out two options for foundation level that have accompanied particularly the legal discourse of human rights, namely, the argument of nature (read Locke for example) or the positivist argument (Bobbio, or Ferrajoli). Obviously, as Berlin would appeal to nature would allow the imposition of a totalitarian regime justified precisely on the weight of the nature of things (sic). Certainly, as a good liberal Kantian Caviglia then flatly rejected the "nature" as the foundation of human rights and then also leaves questions about the viability of the positivist argument would also lead behind a authoritarian tendencies (just recall the thesis of Hobbes or Bentham)
Then the options before the teacher Caviglia in this case were reduced to two, the intuitive argument and historical argument. In the first case, saying any reasonable person would have to recognize the advantages and correction of human rights, that is, considering that a society is just if it defends human rights than one who does not. The historical argument on their part would say that since the religious wars, until the French Revolution, the establishment of representative democracy, granting women's suffrage, etc., Etc., The world has evolved and human rights have consolidation, ie, that human history leads inevitably to that destination.
Obviously, it was difficult to find reasons that could challenge such claims, first I remembered that Robert Nozick in 'Anarchy, State and Utopia "(1974) also appealed to the same intuitive argument here is not to justify or Liberal Welfare State but rather a Libertarian state, ie that only minimal state as sacred property rights and market but flatly ruled out any social or economic right (probably the most desired by my friends and Caviglia Gamio)
On the other hand, the historical argument always turns into a double-edged sword because although you could say that there is a tendency that leads to the consolidation of human rights to the story is nothing to prevent further take other paths, ultimately, appeal to history is to fall as Strauss would mark the second wave of modern, romantic as that represented by Rousseau and Hegel those trying to overcome positivism and its affirmation of a truth only gave us more of a myriad of truths that could lead us to relativism [2] .
At this point it would be feasible to define and some preliminary conclusions:
1. None of the arguments seem solid enough to justify the reason the doctrine of human rights
2. If this is so then we could say that these are not rational
3. If they are not rational then they are:
4. I argue that they are basically an emotional and sentimental
product precisely, we can see an exaggerated passion in their supporters and some say maybe this is the new religion that corresponds to the "'last man', ie a man twilight dying civilization to the spiritual emptiness that has been submitted. Even as a liberal academic Michael Ignatieff speaks of human rights as idolatry to this attitude exhibited by activists and their high priests (the scholars who defend them) to take them as ends in themselves [3] .
The identification of human rights with the advent of "last man", is associated specifically with the demonstrated inability to not endure the pain and suffering [4] . Contemporary men defend human rights because they do not tolerate human suffering [5] , and is not that bad to show compassion, but the devil is in the abuse of it and intend to bring this attitude to all areas of human life, then considering the punishment makes no sense and should always reign comfort. I think finally after this cult of decadence is hidden the old problem of the denial of good and evil, fans Human rights do not believe in the merits of Evil (or Good), although they say they fight (for example, when embodied in a "human rights violators), if they believed in it then they could truly be tolerant for pain and suffering and could accept punishments for terrorists for example.

Since then an explosion of emotion we are confident that at some point could be diluted to the extent that human passions are also extremely volatile, of course, would have to appear before a new cult to replace him, maybe things are whatever comes could be even worse.
[1] This is Incidentally, there is then said she really would not have to sustain it were self-evident truths. (Sic)
[2] Indeed, cultural critics and communitarians to human rights is based on the historicist assumptions.
[3] Cf Michael Ignatieff, Human rights as politics and idolatry. Cambridge, Polity Press, 2003. Ignatieff is a Liberal close to the thought of Isaiah Berlin and think that human rights activists have the problem than as the freedoms and more positive when they point out that should only be taken as negative liberties.
[4] Recommended reading for my fellow liberals: Ernst Jünger, On Pain.
[5] Although this is also relative because I imagine if you enjoy the suffering of a "human rights violator"

Newest Proxies For 2010

Forgive me but I live in Cuba and Bolivia

Look, here they are, they're beautiful, you like! The want? Hmm ... that's another dilemma, if you want my friend go to Cuba, a country that is prohibited.

many times on the roads of the information I come across such ads. It is usual for the Cuban surfer get motivated by the quality of a product to your home, especially when it is directly accessible, violently a determination from your IP address, you are not fit for consumption. The question is: Why?, As very simple, to live in a communist country, evil, haunted ... in order to live in a country prohibited.

This is a punishment imposed on the people of Cuba for refusing to be a colony of an empire, to try to get ahead. No matter the Cubans will continue to fight to keep our ideals and at any time denounce the evil that the rule imposes.

The so-called postmodern philosophy has been characterized in recent years to make attractive and suggestive reflections on the characteristics of contemporary societies. [1] In this sense, the atosigante presence of the media virtual hegemony of images, and the acceleration of time with the consequent reduction in space thanks to technological advances, have completely disrupted the way they act and think of all men, including even those who live in outlying areas, far from the great centers of production technology but also share in this revolution.

This revolution has the maximum speed as its emblem because it is one that represents the essence of the contemporary world and can perceive from something as basic as TV zapping to the way modern wars are developed in order to be effective and get the win apparently without major human costs. [2] This situation also tends to reshape the spaces, that they are now becoming a means to an end own motion [3] . However, a phenomenon described has immediate effect within the political space, which will also be transformed by the speed as with the urban space. For example, if the speed states that urban areas be designed in a way that facilitates rapid communication then this will result in schools, malls, residential areas etc., Will be located in the center and not the periphery impacting in politics to generate a series of closed areas avoiding contact with "strangers" [4] and contributing to the solidification or freezing of human and political relations. [5]

Certainly, the current context is far greatly than it was for example the scenario that began to form in the liberal state - democracy and formal legality, as well, "when Kant was writing his most important political texts late eighteenth century, the clocks did not have a second hand, took a week to prepare the press for printing a newspaper, if you travel within Europe could be used several weeks to do and if it was an Atlantic crossing, this could take even months " [6] . Therefore, in this context is not yet perceived with great intensity the effects of the civilization of the time and speed. Still made sense then respect the space and real flesh and blood actors (citizens) who inhabited the city. Obviously, no one could assume that physical contact might be associated with the disorder and rather it was connected with the ideas pro - universalist Kant himself hurried to present [7] . They decided so by the proximity and contact rather than by physical separation and isolation, integration stimulated by the rationalist ideal was one of the most representative of this era.

The time it develops the liberal state - democracy, rule of law, then it will be characterized by a large presence in print media that will basically be symbolized by the book. From this moment begins to break through then the world ruled by the statement containing a series of knowledge and instruction they hope the reader and be transmitted by the teacher. Culture or area of \u200b\u200btext, that is, the grafoesfera, is necessarily associated with the institutional and legal.

The modern law, manifested in legal positivism, could not exist without the book culture, the legal text is the constitution or the code sets out a series of commands (rules) that emanate from a supreme will (power) and to prohibit or allow something to the citizens, and we can not ignore what the law orders as there is physical proof of their existence.

However, the speed kills the book and it also undermines the law, the spaces disappear and finally the time for conversation and camaraderie (activities closely linked to politics) is diluted in medium speed.

All these changes necessarily have to affect the development of modern political institutions and weaken the process of civic education is needed for the proper functioning of liberal democracy.

funny thing with all this history it seems that contemporary liberals have not noticed the presence of this phenomenon gestated by the same currency as they continue day to day by selling the dream of citizenship, (now through multicultural) state Constitutional Law of the Republic so liberal., unaware that the speed prevents these projects can operate to the extent that completely subverts the meaning of these and the real possibility of its viability. Question: How could there be a republic without citizens?, How have citizens uneducated and books?

has correctly noted that the political philosopher Leo Strauss, the great problem of modernity is that she has undermined its own purposes and is destroying the very institutions. Huge problem for modern, how to overcome the contradictions of the modern project and realize finally achieve their purpose?. Obviously not subscribe as modern theses, this question should be answered by those concerned but perhaps the only possible answer would be to say that there is no response.
[1] think not only the aforementioned Paul Virilio, but also a number of authors and texts, and indeed quite lucid pessimistic about the future of modern civilization among others we can mention Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle, Jean Baudrillard, Gilles Lipovetsky, especially Regis Debray. , The State Seducer, who are going to take your reading on the technological and social transformations that they generate to critically evaluate the various modern political institutions.
[2] think of events like the blitzkrieg, or lightning war to the virtual wars in Iraq and Yugoslavia.
