Neda muriò en Bilbao

El jueves 18 de Junio de 2009, por la noche, Eduardo Puelles se acostó con la sonrisa puesta. Él y su hijo de 16 años, Asier, habían disfrutado de lo lindo con ¡Vaya semanita!, el programa de la televisión vasca que ofrece una semblanza irreverente y desmitificadora de Euskadi. Se metió en la cama diciendo que le encantaba esa serie porque se reían de todos y de todo. Era casi la medianoche y cayó rendido enseguida. Faltaban nueve horas. Su coche estaba aparcado donde siempre, en batería, con el morro sobre la valla quitamiedos, que, precisamente, luce una vieja pintada con esas tres letras siniestras tan familiares para los vascos. A esa hora, los asesinos no habían aparecido todavía por la pequeña explanada que sirve de aparcamiento en el barrio de La Peña, en Bilbao, no habían colocado su carga mortífera en ese ángulo muerto, junto al depósito de gasolina, que queda fuera de la vista en una inspección superficial de los bajos del vehículo.

Es otra Neda pero en tierra vasca, es otra Neda en territorio europeo, que se cree màs civilizado. Otra vìctima inocente de una lucha que no tiene sentido y cuyo eco no sale de las fronteras de España; quizàs porque son demasiadas las catàstrofes mundiales, quizàs porque a pocos nos importa, quizàs porque a quièn le importan no tiene suficiente voz para hacerse oir.

Esperemos que la vida de Eduardo no sea en vano!

Web Cut in Iran

According to a huge number of web sources Iranian people have now strictly limited acces to the net. Youtube, Twitter and Facebook are now under Ahmadinejad's government control.
Apparently the Net Control System is Nokia and Siemens join venture product, but the two big Network companies are now publishing a blog with a few articles in deny with the news.

If they can cover the net, let's pretend that the information is true, Iran will also cover research on Nuclear Weapons development, casualties during the revolt.
If this stuff is true the end of the revolt is kinda close.
And now i don't really know what to type or think since Mousavi has got criminal issues in his records...



The only thing we have to be sure about is that many people, the media, and many governments are hiding the truth.

Here's a request by Iranianriots blog:

Plea to the world: Iran needs Anti-filters (filter-shekan)

9:53 am on June 29, 2009

Dear Friends,

Unfortunately the government is assisted by multi-million-dollar companies, and they are able to detect and block anti-filters quickly.
Access to internet is strictly limited, and does not allow for many reports.
Please, please, any help is appreciated in terms of software and/or technological development, in order to help the people bypass all the filters and report on the situation.
We need more working software that can bypass not only the censorship, but also our online activities, and if possible hide our bandwidth usage.

Project Kaisei - Catch the Trash!

Project Kaisei consists of a team of innovators, scientists, environmentalists, ocean lovers, sailors, and sports enthusiasts who have come together with a common purpose. To study how to capture marine debris in the North Pacific Gyre and to study retrieval and processing techniques that could be potentially employed to detoxify and recycle these materials into diesel fuel. This first research Mission, scheduled for the summer of 2009, will be critical to understanding the logistics that would be needed to launch future clean-up operations and testing existing technologies that have never been utilized under oceanic conditions.

Project Kaisei will examine the largest area of the Plastic Vortex, an ocean gyre, situated to the North East of Hawaii, and approximately five days by boat from the States (San Francisco area). The Mission will consist of a large pass through the Plastic Vortex, with the aim to collect plastic and other debris samples from the ocean in order to showcase some of the new technologies that will be used for processing and recycling.

Who's The Green Wave Leader

Here's some history of Mousavi, Ahmadinejad's opponent in the Iranian riots.
Apparently the Green Wave Leader has some dark memories on his resumee:

The youth continue to gain a voice under the theocratic regime in Iran. However, history dictates that Mir Hussein Mousavi, the reformist candidate leading the protests, has a questionable track record that Neo-cons seem to be overlooking.

In 1983, acting prime minister Mousavi reportedly had a hand in the Beirut barracks bombing that left an estimated 300 U.S. Marines dead. Mousavi was also a lead contact Imad Mughniyah, the alleged brain child behind the barracks bombing. The track record behind Mousavi also includes running operatives through Kuwait and Iraq, along with a 1988 truck bombing that left five Americans dead in Naples, Italy.

It should also be noted that retired Navy Admiral James “Ace” Lyons sought to kill Mousavi’s operatives in the 80’s, but was met with roadblocks after Reagan secretary of defense Caspar Weinberger ‘sabotaged’ the plan.

Neda got killed in Naples.

As you look at it you can deeply feel the experience of an historical moment, big crowds, guns and fifteen minute heroes. Flags, deaths, ideas.
Neda made all of us feel the "Tienanmen experience", she died and became an icon, the gun that shot her shot us all. I believe every single one of you watching that video felt shame and horror and rage.
The same day she was shot the whole entire world and even Barack Obama were with her.
Her death found support, sympathy and love for the cause she was supporting.
All eyes on Teheran. Iran must be saved.
Neda didn't die in vain.

FAIR ENOUGH.

While the attention was all over Iran another event was brought to the public attention by the news industry.
On the 26th of May 2009 Petru Birladeanu, a romanian musician, a football player, actually, was shot in Naples at the Montestanto metro station. He was a casualty of the Camorra people, who shot. Actually, they were meant to kill some other "target" some other enemy of their clan for the territory dispute.
And something just came to my mind.
The news about Petru were released in the mid-june period, nearly one month after his death and just because the La Repubblica (Italian newspaper ndr) website published some security camera footage of what happened. (Romanian musician killed by camorra - security video violent content)
Nobody showed any kind of sympathy for Petru's death, even in the video. His wife was scereaming at the top of her lungs and none of the people in the station stopped, they just wanted to be out of it.
Petru was bleeding on the floor.
Naples is still bleeding on the floor.
Now that Gomorra is just something to have on our bookshelves, now that we think about the Camorra wars as a movie, something far away, we can look somewhere else pityingly and cry for Iran and Neda.
We don't realise that we have a civil war in the middle of Europe, as Saviano was writing in his Gomorra investigation, the number of Camorra's war victims is 3.600 people since 1979.
No heroes, no flags, no ideas, no sympathy.
Petru is one of the last innocent people that died in the Bella-Napoli conflict and he should be part of the "Tienanmen experience".
I want people to stop and cry for him and scream for vengeance as Neda's friends on Teheran's concrete.
I want bloggers to write about a non-resolved conflict in the south of Italy.
I want people to care at least about a human life as they cared about Neda's icon.

We have to emancipate from media's hypocrisy.

Neda was not a casualty.

I personally felt the need to talk about what is happening in Teheran, since I just saw some footage of a really touching event.

The content is extremely violent, and i really struggle to type about it.

A girl got killed on Saturday 20th June 2009, a regular Saturday for me, for most of us in Europe, US, and Oceania. Her name was Neda.

Neda was a regular girl, a girl i could have met in a square wherever in the world. I just saw her bleeding, her eyes spreading wide while she was exhaling her last breath. Shot like a rabbit by one of the policemen fighting the demonstrants against Ahmadinejad's government.

I will not link the video from Youtube on our blog, we decided not to incourage vouyersim on such a tragic matter. If you guys want to watch it just go on Youtube and find it. I can tell you it ain't going to be pretty.

If you want to learn more, or have a closer look over Iran riots i can link you this blog: IRANIAN RIOTS

We just want to spend a moment and think about this young girl fighting for her country and falling dead the same day together with 19 other demonstrants.

On both Facebook and YouTube, the video comes with this explanation, written by someone who says that he was present when this video was shot and describes what it shows:

Basij shots to death a young woman in Tehran’s Saturday June 20th protests At 19:05 June 20th Place: Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st. A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests was shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house. He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed straight her heart. I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her. But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim’s chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes. The protests were going on about 1 kilometers away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gass used among them, towards Salehi St. The film is shot by my friend who was standing beside me. Please let the world know.

Another blogger writes about Neda and quotes some feeds from Twitter:

Her name was Neda, an innocent bystander shot dead just for watching.

We are Neda and all those who fell with her.

Neda is one Iranian. Neda is all Iranians.

RT May God cradle #NEDA in Peace and wake her soul to show her that she was not lost for nothing, her blood rained freedom

The World cries seeing your last breath, you didn’t die in vain. We will remember you.

Desnudos por la ecología en Londres

Ciclistas desnudos promovieron transporte "VERDE"

Desnudos por la ecología en el DFCiclistas promovieron transporte 'verde'
Más de un centenar de ciclistas mexicanos se desnudaron en la Ciudad de México como parte de un movimiento mundial para promover este medio de transporte ecológico y pedir a los automovilistas respeto para los usuarios de bicicletas.
Los manifestantes, algunos desnudos, otros en ropa interior y unos cuantos con el cuerpo pintado, recorrieron el turístico Paseo de la Reforma para llegar hasta la plaza central del Zócalo, en el corazón de la capital mexicana.
Es la cuarta ocasión en que usuarios de la bicicleta en la capital mexicana salen a pedalear desnudos como parte de la Rodada Mundial Ciclista al Desnudo (World Naked Bike Ride), que se celebró en numerosas ciudades.

Oil Addiction

Thanks to GOOD magazine, another enlightening video about oil consumption and addiction nowadays.
These awsome GOOD campaign could maybe bring us to the developement of new energys sources, green minded and environment-friendly.



If we're addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem. As the price of oil creeps higher, finding new energy sources is more important than ever. But the search for alternatives, combined with environmental disruptions, is putting new pressures on other essentials like food. There are some things that are going well in the world. Right now, the economy is not one of them.

Los Guardias Revolucionarios amenazan a la prensa y a los 'blogueros' con "acciones legales" en Irán

Teherán prepara su quinto día de protestas, a pesar de la suspensión de páginas de Internet y servicios de sms.
El Gobierno iraní ha dado hoy un paso más en su estrategia de acoso contra la prensa y los blogueros.

Los Guardianes de la Revolución emitieron su primer comunicado desde que se celebraron las elecciones el pasado viernes, en el que exigen a todos los sitios de Internet y blogueros que eliminen de sus páginas cualquier contenido que "cree tensión". Quienes intenten burlar la orden deberán enfrentarse a acciones legales. Los Guardianes de la Revolución, más conocidos como Pasdarán, son el ejército ideológico del régimen y sólo responden ante el líder supremo. Ya tienen una dilatada experiencia en la persecución de blogueros.
Los frecuentes cortes de las líneas de móvil, la completa suspensión del servicio de sms y el cierre de la mayoría de las redes sociales en Internet, no han logrado impedir la coordinación de los opositores. Una increíble red de voluntarios mantiene a todo el mundo informado de las protestas y se encarga de que éstas transcurran en silencio y de forma pacífica para no provocar a las fuerzas del orden.
Ésta es una muestra de como se puede luchar contra lo que no nos gusta, contra lo que no estamos de acuerdo!!Las nuevas tecnologías sirven también para esto!!
Han intentado echar del país a TVE porque su presencia les resulta incómoda. En Irán contar la verdad tiene un precio muy alto...la vida!!

Green Bikes for Peace

The Green Bikes for Peace project is a 30-day-long biking tour crossing 5 countries, with youth participating. The aim of the trip is to draw attention to sustainability.

Between June 19 and July 19 2009, 25 youths will cycle through 5 countries and 11 cities from Trieste to Ljubljana, then from Linz to Pécs.

The task of the youths participating at the tour selected by the partner organisations is to explore Europe now without borders, comparing it to the unified Roman Empire two thousand years ago.

The main objective of the project is to actively include youths from the cities concerned and a real dialogue could be established how they see the world and their environment. Therefore during the tour workshops and cultural events are organised (e.g. concerts, expos, statue inauguration ceremonies, etc.) with the cooperation of local NGOs, municipalities and companies.

Iran doesn't like Ahmadinejad Extremism.

Yesterday afternoon I was walking in the streets of Milan, and i just bumped in the most paceful and genuine demonstration in the Duomo Piazza.
Iranian people, guys and girls, were simply singing against the Ahmadinejad government and the rigged elections in their country.
I asked a couple of them what was going on, they told me in the most precise and polite way that seven people got killed the same day in Teheran in a pro Mussavi protest and they felt the need to stand up for Iran rights.
On their placards these simple words: WHERE IS MY VOTE!

Here's a sad footage of the demonstration day in Teheran.


Iranian people still believe in Freedom.

Corea del Norte condena a 12 años de trabajos forzados a dos periodistas de EE UU

Corea del Norte
El juicio contra las dos periodistas estadounidenses de origen asiático, Euna Lee y Laura Ling, que trabajan para el medio de Internet de San Francisco (EE UU) Current TV, se desarrolló del 4 al 8 de junio en Pyongyang.
"El juicio ha confirmado el grave delito que cometieron contra la nación coreana y su paso ilegal de la frontera", por lo que cada una de ellas ha sido sentenciada a 12 años de internamiento en campos de trabajo norcoreanos.

Desde el pasado 4 de junio el máximo tribunal de Corea del Norte juzgaba bajo acusación de "actos hostiles" y "entrada ilegal" en el territorio a las dos informadoras. Ambas periodistas fueron detenidas el 17 de marzo en la frontera de Corea del Norte con China mientras grababan unas imágenes sobre el tráfico de mujeres refugiadas norcoreanas.
Las dos periodistas han mantenido contactos por carta y uno solo telefónico con sus familias durante los meses que han permanecido bajo custodia de las autoridades norcoreanas en Pyongyang.

World Enviornment Day 2009

Yesterday, 5th of June was a moment of deep focus on environment matters.
"Home" was released on the same day, a movie by Yann Arthus Bertrand.
Here's the trailer.



We gotta respect our own home, let's think about this.
Bless.

Korea does nuke too!

So this is it, North Korea is willing to pump up their nukes, great, wonderful, awesome;
The irony of all this is that North Korea entered the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968, but suddenly dropped out in 2003.

On the 25th of May 2009 the missiles charged with hydrogen power are flying again in the eastern sky, test flights on and on, and here in the west we're still thinking "Oh! that's so horrible, oh, naughty naughty North Koreans! Why in the world would they do that!"

We are not asking ourselves the correct question: As I am writing this article, all the countries that signed the 1968 Treaty are still equipped with nuclear missiles. No wonder the Pyongyang dictatorship feels legitimated to research nukes if the threat of a nuclear war with the US is still out there, real and ready to happen.

The news program critics are incredibly opposed to the nuke tests in North Korea, they condemn Pyongyang’s appalling attitude, but nobody mentions that France, the US, India, Pakistan, Israel, China and Russia still have plenty of nuclear devices. I won’t bother writing all of them here but check this list out and scream if you want: Wikipedia list of nuclear weapons on earth
Do you get the issue here?
Pyongyang is not the main problem.
The main problem is the existing number of nuclear arms on the planet and the fear populations have towards one another.

It's just ridiculous that in an era of global communication and exchange of information, governments feel the need to have weapons of mass destruction. Governments should come together and decide that to best protect their nation they must throw the enormous amount of nuclear crap away from earth and try to figure something out together!

Whoever wants to sign a new petition to stop the countries researching nuclear weapons, please sign our petition here: YES I SIGN AGAINST NUCLEAR WEAPONS RESEARCH
We believe the net is the only way to make the world less rotten than it already is.
Peace out.

Sail in plastic - The Plastiki Expedition

Inspired by a UNEP report on marine litter, David de Rothschild wanted to create a compelling and pioneering adventure that would inspire people to act more responsibly towards our planet.

Moved to action, David and a handpicked crew of leading scientists, sailors, adventurers, thought leaders and artists plan to set sail approximately 10,000 nautical miles across the Pacific. The boat, called Plastiki, is a distinctive, one-of-a-kind 60-foot (20m) catamaran made out of reclaimed plastic bottles, srPET plastic and recycled waste products.

Their mission: To beat waste by thinking smart and showcasing how refuse can be used as a resource thus inspiring sustainable solutions for a better way of living.

Like David, we like a different point of view.
