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 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.
