modern, new

Yes, we are modern. Building a new modernity. Let's shelve definitive values \u200b\u200band mindsets that exist during the last 30 years in Western culture.

Postmodernism had his one. Molona proved to many. After the idealists and radicals 60 and 70 years of the twentieth century, after the disappointment of 80, a Most people settled into a comfortable postmodernity empty of content but full of complacency.

was something that happened in the world, but in Spain, many would blame it practices the government of Felipe Gonzalez, who sits on a pervasive pragmatism would open the doors to the culture of the pitch at first, and a relatively widespread corruption afterwards. Corruption, which to our regret, it has only been a crescendo since then.

Modern and Postmodern

I never felt comfortable in the culture of disenchantment, in that lack of values. Even I liked, I confess, or Madrid nightlife and music, or that aesthetic of tacks, shoulder pads and stiff hair. And not just because I had already begun, at that time, to lose mine.

Insconcientemente on my part, then those eighties were not to my liking. Then I've been becoming aware of why. Had spread among the people of identity left in doubt on the idea of \u200b\u200bprogress. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a definite bump occurred among those who had always dreamed of a just society and an alternative to capitalism. The message that permeated among young people since then is: if there is no better future, enjoy the present.

But progress is possible. Of course, I am not referring to any kind of growth, not even any 'sustainable development' worth (hardly find another concept so prostituted by use intentions and interests like this).

Several factors have led us to become aware of this impossibility:

• globalization. It is not physically possible that the entire world population could live while maintaining the standard of living in Western countries.
• the energy crisis. We are close to reaching peak oil, this means that No more cheap energy and system-wide consumption and sustained mobility on it.
• finitude of the planet. The Earth always seemed big (although as of today not so much), but the truth is that it has a certain size: it is not infinite. Resources, therefore, are limited.

progress can not therefore be understood hereafter as material growth, and enjoy more objects, more products, more luxuries. There is progress, but fails to strike a new balance with nature and with ourselves.

passes a new economic culture supported the possibility, real, live better with less.

And he goes, especially, by the need to a new political culture built on values \u200b\u200bof ethics, equity, justice and solidarity .

That must be the new currency

Of all depends on building a better world

Public and private and State Privacy

You know my fondness for the opposite of my tendency to perceive the duality of things or try to see both sides of the coin. Not in vain several entries in this blog have taken in her degree as a confrontation of terms. Examples are: secularism versus Lacicidad "," "or more More Lyrics Science?" , "Culture and Market " or " Land: love sacred and profane love "(one of the oldest). And more.

The fact is that this game has a different objective examinations in each case. My purpose today is to demonstrate that public and private non- enemies but necessary constituents both a life in freedom.

I recently read the book by the German sociologist Wolfgang Sofsky entitled "Defense private " and agree with him that privacy is the foundation of personal freedom. Without private space can not be freedom. What would be defending when we defend freedom, but the right to be different in our individuality, the right to "our area of \u200b\u200bfreedom, our privacy. This includes the right to organize our lives according to our own desires, habits, beliefs, and do not topemos how far to the right of others.

However I am not anything agree with him when positioned against the aggressor state par excellence of the freedom of individuals. Do not think so. While not the State was for many centuries the greatest enemy of freedom, I believe that today is a necessary guarantor of freedom of the individual against another attacker much more dangerous: the Capital.

For example, when talking about free markets, freedom of private initiative as the best law of collective organization, which is really defending is the freedom of capital against individual freedom. When it is said, in line with the liberalism of Adam Smith and modern followers of neoliberalism as Milton Friedman, the interest own selfishness that is in interaction and conflict with the interests of others, is the best means of achieving social balance, which is defending is not nothing but a pecking order.

Investing and sheltered behind their sacrosanct free enterprise, neoliberalism seeks the disappearance of the state as the main obstacle to the course to attain proper balance of capitalist society. But that balance is none other than the maximum concentration in the hands of a few. This was already written 150 years ago.

The defending individual freedom of liberalism is nothing but the freedom of capital to obtain maximum benefit. This is done at the expense and against the person, trampling and destroying any rights, including the right to life, health, employment, housing, a healthy environment, and much more. Because the capital, looking only his own gain, unable even to anticipate their drift, destroys and depletes everything that sustains life on Earth, and heads, and leads us to destruction.

In response, the state and the public, controlling and putting an end to capital, become the only guarantee of real equality of people. It is true that the state can be, and indeed has been traditionally oppressive and invasive of individual privacy. Even more so can be, and is somewhat of today, due to the instruments of information and control, technological and cultural, that it possesses. The key is building a truly democratic state based on participation, equity, justice and ethics. A state endowed with the necessary instruments of control, and now I am referring to instruments of control by the public. A state that guarantees equal opportunities, to promote access to education for all (not just those with means) to protect the public good against private encroachment.

Because I believe in all this is why we always: I have been very jealous of my privacy, I always claimed my right to be different, I have opposed and fought against gregariousness, against the instruments of state control, etc, etc.

But for that very reason: I have banded together to win greater freedom and I associate with those who defend the common good read: public roads, a healthy environment, a living space in my city, sustainable mobility , etc, etc.

And to achieve or defend all that in what I believe, is why to this day, consider it imperative that new men and women with whom I share the same ideas, help clean up politics.

Chronicle Charity

This has been a difficult week for me, for various reasons, and perhaps a bit late to make a chronicle of what happened on 13 February.

But I prefer not to let the ink remaining in the impressions that I took that day and thinking I've matured.

The first consideration is to Anonymous, a movement began to take shape organically few years ago in the Together, and gradually being introduced in our country.

Who or what is Anonymous? Let's read the Wikipedia:

Anonymous (English: Anonymous) is a term used in two senses. As an internet meme or phenomenon, is the concept of many online community users or the community itself, acting anonymously in a coordinated manner, usually vaguely agreed to a target.

is also a label adopted by groups of people, without a definite organization, which does not belong to any association, but to join the protests and other actions under the name of Anonymous, which is derived the same meme. Generally considered as a term for certain Internet subcultures.

The actions attributed to Anonymous are carried out by unidentified individuals who call themselves Anonymous. After a series of controversies, protests and DDoS attacks in 2008, incidents involving its members are increasingly common. Anonymous

But when he jumped into the international arena was when he recently broke down pages Visa, Mastercard , Amazon and PayPal by distributed denial of service (DDOS) to protest harassment the channels for financing Wikileaks .

So this was my first touchdown on Anonymous, and the first of many, as later, in a demonstration for Julian Assange in the Plaza de Callao , I found some guys with the mask of Guy Fawkes handing out stickers Anonymous self-managed.


Thanks to that contact, I have first hand COUNTRY INFORMATION and how self-Anonymous, in his famous IRC channel, and what was going on in that mind hive, which supposedly makes decisions and decide the following collectively.

In practice, we have here in Spain is a rather chaotic motion, driven mostly by people too young, some of them full of revolutionary ideas, but many others just by desire for power and megalomaniacs. In this sense we can interpret spokesman reported against of freewikileaks.eu or threats Neuro published on his blog (the blog that is a hive) against Nano Anonymous.

Although disappointed by these internal disputes, however I decided to attend the rally that Anonymous had called the day of Goya, but rather than go to the Plaza del Rey (where the municipal authority had ordered relocate concentration), the expression was changed by a concentration of citizens in the same hurdles the Royal Theatre.

February 13 celebrated the "feast" of English cinema, whose only value can be exported image of our cinema to the world, since the ceremony and the awards themselves are nothing but a cock comedura collective, in which nobody really wants to open a productive debate on the future of English cinema.

A English market, certainly, is experiencing one of its lowest moments in our country, but paradoxically we are witnessing a mass exodus directors, directors Photography, composers, technicians, actors and other professionals in the film industry to other countries, especially the United States, where a dry of ideas Hollywood has long since started a estrategegia import talent.

This was, then, the scenario that would develop the show of the Goya. Only a few "rebels" of our film, as the director of the Academy Álex de la Iglesia, and Serna Asumpta and Imanol Arias, gave a show of support to the group of citizens that Sunday was beginning hurdles to concentrate behind the safety device had been assembled for the event.

In the safety device included the presence of private security, as the individual who is seen in the photo below. The blog's author believes was a private security professional for comments he made to his companions and they snapped into a walkie-talkie: "[...] we encountered a group of suspicious-looking individuals in one of the [...]". side fences


Rumors about the presence of infiltrators aborotadores that would burst the merger, was something that had been discussed in social networks and forums in the days prior. But this intimidation, rather than fear, was an incentive for the undecided, and so about 20:00 hours, and with some hesitation, began to hear the first song and the first slogans in front of the Teatro Real.

And it was a success and an example of behavior for all who attended there. Anonymous True silence when some troublemaker advised a slogan that would involve an insult, and when some threw eggs at the attendees at the gala, they were immediately rebuked by anti-slogans.

concentration itself was fairly consistently collected by some independent media. Of course television and traditional media manipulated the information as possible, describing the concentration and an anecdotal note on a great festival of English cinema (in this strategy of manipulation, the organization even placed a row of attendants with umbrellas for Anonymous saliésemos not in the photo of the party). Yet, just needed to see the face of industry professionals coming into the Theatre Royal to get an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat was afoot was: a real pressure cooker of slogans, songs, good cheer and protest against a minister (Ángeles González-Sinde), but especially a law that attacks the freedom of the Net as we know it today.


Sinde-Biden law, a term coined by the binomial González-Sinde (Culture Minister) and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, is a first step in a roadmap designed from United States, with the connivance of the European Union to end the existing freedom of information Internet today. This roadmap begins with a law permitting the closing of any "website that has caused or is likely to cause property damage", which in practice could close any existing web page: Who has not searched on the Internet any image with which to illustrate a post? Who has not quoted a journalist or media?

This type of crime, which could have made sense when drafting the intellectual property law in our country twenty years ago, have it stop when it comes to Internet, when everyone has returned to normal patterns of behavior and netiquette.

So the second final provision of the law of sustainable economy, commonly known as Sind-Biden bill is so dangerous. It is not just that we stop "getting off" movies and series. This is is an attack on the separation of powers, the first stab at the Internet as we know it, and the first attempt to build an Internet TV like a 2.0.

Citizens do not want Internet is another video on demand. We want the freedom to read and write than the Internet gives us that we have now, freedom of linking and redirect, the liberty of quoting and sharing.

culture industry as we know it must change or die. Should open new markets, new systems of production, distribution and marketing it to reach the millions of people who daily download movies and series, with an adequate supply, would not. Those who govern us will not understand that there is a bigger niche than ever, but the poor and unfortunate supply that exists in this country makes this niche is redirected toward free options.


Sinde law will only create alternative ways to download information, but has breached the public trust to our leaders (officers, ie, politicians, and unofficial communication industries and corporocracias). The people we have been attacked on our freedom, and the manifestation of 13F was the first act of a war that historians will talk tomorrow.

The war for freedom of thought. The war for the freedom of communication. The war will be fought not only in social networks, twitter and facebook, as they believe, but to be a war down the street (as Anonymous boys have shown). A war that will go to the mall and leaflets goal in the books. A war which will be photocopied and distributed flyers on the subway. A war which ATMs have anti-graffiti system. It will be a war in which the citizens will demand participatory democracy. Will be a war where the enemy is PPSOE and bipartisanship that we try to become consumers.

We are not consumers. We are citizens. We are anonymous. Do not forget and not forgive. We are legion.


Wait for us.

Cycling in Córdoba. Its future policy and political

Uncertain Future (photo R. Morrison)

is a shame to spend this time and see how this city \u200b\u200bis hesitant to take decisive action in favor of bicycles as transportation. So far prevailed, admittedly, the many words and too little concrete.

was almost 15 years ago, was in December of '96, when this council, or rather the then Councillor for the Greens (and split from UI) Pepe Larios, presented a draft to the European Union for the construction of the first bike lanes in Córdoba .

Policy Things that money were given to our town for this (program POMAL FEDER funds) were managed in the end by the Popular Party, who govern this city between 1997 and 2003. In particular he was a councilmember did July Berbel after having been responsible for a much larger area was the responsibility as municipal finance, "was relegated "to the ever less important area of \u200b\u200bEnvironment.

And it was he who, strangely, will bring forward two very important actions for cycling in Cordoba: the full approval of the Bicycle Master Plan Cordoba (with the opposition United Left) and the construction of complex Lane North-South axis bike (from the San Rafael bridge to Avenida de America).

Later, with the return of United Left municipal government, the bike languished again in Cordoba. The truth, it must be said, is that this was mainly due to the blockade that the former "town hall" Rosa Aguilar established on sustainable mobility policies.

R. Aguilar. Trassiera Rally in September. , 2003

all know of his taste for big infrastructure, and his passion for motorcycles (I had no qualms about being photographed with motorists Fascist paraphernalia and tattoos) and races cars (and his famous photo with helmet in a car rally racing in the Sierra Morena).

Who has seen and who sees it is now Minister of Environment.

Anyway, Córdoba, having been one of the first cities in Spain to consider the promotion of cycling as a means of transport is running in the caboose of the shift towards sustainable urban mobility. Have so far proved insufficient good intentions that the current Environment Councilman Cobos Curro is developing in recent times in its favor, in particular, since she could do something after the pink faded to Seville. "

Some facts for comparison:

• While Zaragoza is currently a network for urban bike hire has 100 stations and 1,000 bicycles 29,000 citizens used (soon will be extended by another 30 stations that will serve 10,000 subscribers in more than the 20,000 expected), in Córdoba we paltry sum of 36 bikes and 4 docking stations. Is approximately a ratio 30 times lower when the population is whether the half.

• While Seville was built in just a couple of years a comprehensive network of bike lanes citywide, here 15 years and we have only achieved the network that we unraveled, with a maximum extension recent times is taking place thanks to the bike lanes constructed promoting new urban spaces (by the obligation set by the General Urban Plan), which would only have to add a bike lane loose like the ave. Linnaeus (Botanical Garden and Zoo) and the intervention was to protect, at first completely useless bike lane ave. Agrupación Córdoba (former Military Hospital)

• While in San Sebastian are already working on a Mobility Plan that is marked, among other objectives to achieve by 2016 the proportion of trips by bicycle than 35%, what are the objectives that we here in Cordoba? What do we want for our city?

I think it is essential to enter the city of new people with clear ideas about what policies are most appropriate to develop as soon as possible to achieve a model of sustainable urban mobility.

The bike needs people who believe in it. Better still if they move there.
