The Weapon behind the Joint

On it's 20th of August edition, "Público", the main Portuguese Daily newspaper has published a small article over the Boom Festival, the biggest Psy-Trance occurring in this country, with the title "Drugs and weapons apprehended in the Boom Festival".

In this small article, responsibility of LUSA news agency, it was reported the detainment of 17 persons accused of drug possession. From these 17, only six were prosecuted with possession and consumption of drugs, which were mainly haxixe.

However, three others were caught with illegal guns, that means, guns without a legal licence. These three persons were not detained, just identified for future purposes.
These behaviour from local authorities lead us to severe and several doubts over the security of the Portuguese community in it's all.
It seams that, under it's law, someone carrying joints is a further bigger threat to its community, than rather someone carrying a gun.

Nevertheless, the violent crime is rising sky high in Portugal and each year, a local phenomenon of violent killings in the big cities night life, is gaining dangerous and uncontrollable proportions.
Meanwhile, as the state and it's politicians pretend drugs don't exist, there are many being poisoned with adulterated stuff, while others make their biz, living and enriching with it. As they do, the state as a whole is losing the tax money from it's selling (as it happens otherwise in Holland) and, much worst than that, is losing the precise idea of how much is sold and how many consume, so true preventing policies can be defined to attack the problem. By prohibiting it, not only they enhance the health problem, as they loose it's true dimension.

On the other hand, people holding and carrying guns, which cannot be normally and mentally sane if they take them to a 25.000 people festival, are left free, without not even being presented to a judge to explain the reason of their act.
So, I leave here these questions to us all, hoping some politician, judge or officer might one day read these lines.

1- Why does someone take Haxixe to a Psy-Trance Festival?
2- Why does someone take a Gun(?!?) to a Psy-Trance festival?
3- Why is to the law, more dangerous to carry haxixe than a gun?

And if someone responds that is to defend himself, I leave therefore a final question:

Who or which law can defend us from someone taking a gun to a Psy-Trance festival or wherever else this person may go?

Se a única certeza é a perpetua mudança, porque pensa que o mundo onde vive não pode um dia ser assim?

Ou "o que faz falta para acordar a malta", " 'For the times they are a-changin' "

E se cada sindicato fosse um banco
E o seu lucro estivesse ao seu dispor do trabalhador?
E cada crédito de cada casa
E de cada obra e de cada carro
Pagasse com o seu juro,
Casas para alugar, bolsas para estudar
Seguros de saúde e fundos de pensão
Para cada trabalhador?

E se cada empresa pedisse ao Banco do Estado
O crédito para se financiar?
E o juro desses créditos, fosse para fazer escolas e estradas
Hospitais e lares, menos estádios e mais campos de bola,
Parques, piscinas e tartans?

E se a verdade entre oferta e procura fosse reposta
E finalmente proibidas e controladas todas as formas de especulação?
E cada acção só pudesse ser vendida um ano após ter sido comprada?
E se cada casa tivesse de ser alugada e depois vendida, se não fosse usada?
E se o mercado fosse pelos investidores e contra os especuladores?
E cada nação recebesse cada cêntimo do seu barril,
Directamente da industria que transforma o seu petróleo?

E se acabassem os intermediários entre produtor e industria?
O “homem do meio” ou a “mão invisível”,
Que nos escraviza, empurra para a ruína, guerra e atrocidade.
O homem e a mão que existem e controlam as agendas políticas.
Esses homens bem identificados
Sempre ligados aos centros financeiros, às bolsas e especulação.
Aqueles que convidam para reuniões Bilderbergs,
Os nosso futuros primeiros-ministros, antes de eles o serem.

E se, quando as empresas tivessem a sua conta no estado,
Se acabasse a fraude financeira e fiscal?
E cada cêntimo de imposto roubado
Reposto a todos os outros que por ele pagaram?
E se os sindicatos, com o lucro dos seus juros,
Proporcionassem saúde, seguros, casa, educação
Pensão e até arte e lazer a cada seu sócio sindicalizado

E se com o lucro do Banco do Estado
De todos os empréstimos creditados,
Por todas as empresas para seus investimentos,
Fizesse suas escolas, estradas hospitais e aeroportos,
O dinheiro que faltava para tudo o resto,
Não era assim tanto que não desse para baixar o imposto.
Daria pelo menos para acabar com o IVA de 5% e 12%
E ainda baixar o IRS de quem ganhasse menos que um deputado.

O estado deve mais do que tem,
Tantos de nós devemos mais do que temos.
Se tudo fosse igual, o sistema fosse mercado
Mas apenas sem juro privado nem especulação?
O que seria dos donos do mundo?
Dos donos dos bancos e dos ex e ainda políticos pululando em seu redor?
O que seria de um mundo sem agiotas?
Onde apenas o interesse colectivo
Pudesse usufruir do interesse do juro?

O que seria de burlões, corruptos e traficantes
Se não tivessem onde esconder o seu dinheiro?
E se o sistema pagasse o suficiente aos seus políticos,
Para lhes impor exclusividade e incompatibilidades até dez anos depois?
Os impostos são altos, para pagar o que a divida não comeu

E se o Estado, em vez de divida, tivesse condições para ter lucro?
E cada conta de cada empresa fosse transparente à máquina fiscal?
E se o único juro que um privado pudesse usufruir
Fosse aos dias de retenção do seu salário, até ao dia que é pago?
E se a cada dia de trabalho, dinheiro na conta,
Ou paga juros por cada dia trabalhado,
Investindo o dinheiro dos outros que não paga durante o mês?

E se o único juro permitido a um privado
Fosse somente a força do nosso trabalho?

Tantos ses dependendo só do fim de tão poucos
Os mesmos de sempre, afinal
Bancos e juros, estatais ou mutualistas,
especulação nunca, num mercado livre entre oferta e procura
e neste ses, se libertará a humanidade da sua escravidão

The men behind the curtain

The price of oil and food is rising creating an unprecedented crisis hanging the most of mankind by the will of a few thousands. There is no more free market, as offer and demand are daily manipulated by faceless speculators no one knows precisely who may they be. After all the invisible hand of market is not working by itself, as these few powerful men make everything at their reach to determine it.

Zeitgeist goes from the beginning of the history of mankind, to tell us the story of the men behind the curtain, until this day. Seeing Zeitgeist - The Movie is having a perspective of ours most probable future. As we resiste to know it, someone is planning our lives for us.

These are the men behind the curtain. Will you dare to pull it and take a peek?

From Freedom to Fascism

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.

Aldous Huxley



Freedom to Fascism is a video google blockbuster. Millions have seen it and not seeing it it's one's own choice to continue ignorant of what surrounds you.

When the happenings in the USA move with every human life around the world, it is our responsibility to pursue truth. This movie explains us in an easy understanding way how we are enslaved in our lives by the two most powerful weapons of the system: Taxes and Bank Debt. It shows clearly how and why we work, not truly for us, but for paying a financial created debt. Directly or indirectly the money ends up always in the same hands: the union between State and Banks, the owners of the major industries and corporations, just like in a fascist state.

The first part is dedicated to the legal fraud of IRS tax in the United States. It shows clearly it is unconstitutional and that there has been no law created to implement it. The second part is telling us about the union between corporations and states to create a situation both people and countries cannot find a way out: Public and Private Debt.

Freedom to Fascism shows us how war is in the end a way of achieving both financial wealth to corporations and debt to the state. And all is paid with tax payers money.

Gata que foste

Mas aqui ficaste...

Nas nossas almas vazias

Nos cantos da casa ali ficando sem ti.
Gata que foste mas teimas em partir

ficando, como sempre, no amago da nossa emocao

Gata que te sinto, so nao te consigo ver,

Olhando por mim,

Tao curiosa, por tudo quanto eu esteja a fazer

Gata linda, encerrando a beleza toda do mundo

Num só teu olhar. Grande, redondo, brilhante e amarelo,

Como o sol num par.

Fazes-me falta Gata, embora te sinta aqui.

Mesmo te sentido comigo,

Se te encontro, sempre perco o sentido

De teres partido assim.
