Between tsunamis and corruption
The earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan in recent days moved to reflection, yes to fear, itself a surprise, yes to sadness, but also reflection. What would we do if something similar happened in our country?
The earthquake of 1985 marked the beginning of the organization of so-called civil society, corruption was that prevailed in the construction of buildings and houses, the exploitation of working men and women, the simulation of the authorities, the inability of a president of the republic, Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado, who was stunned by the magnitude of the disaster.
addition to the above, this event marked our country where civil protection culture was something lacking. Since then opened the habit of working on prevention, training and simulations to create a culture of protection to our reality: we are susceptible to a new earthquake occurs, they have to suffer the ravages of a disaster.
Authorities have Ph.D. in simulation we have suffered several natural disasters and the dead have joined a list that impunity will reign and there will be justice. Mobilized dozens of agents, television hosts, prosecutors and the media to a girl who mysteriously disappears, but the death of the poor, fucked up, that can be forgotten without much problem. AMLO How right in denouncing the mafia in power.
In Veracruz natural calamities have occurred recently. The floods of 2008 and 2010 have been only a warning, something worse can happen for the effects of climate change. What is the culture of civil protection that we have Mexicans, especially the Veracruz?
drills are conducted in industries and institutions, citizens do their best but civil protection measures play at the pace of authority. The state government has a doctorate in simulation, in the long tongue of Fidel Herrera Beltrán, hide data, to use the misfortune to profit politically, to divert electoral pantries for use in late to deny any blaze that had white balance , that the Culture of Civil Protection of the Faithful was a resounding success.
The last emergency in Veracruz ended up being a huge circus with Jar Jar Herrera (by the long tongue) to the front, talking and talking without concrete results.
In year 2008 I had the opportunity to coordinate the support of Olmeca TV to deliver support to the most damaged in Minatitlan, Cosoleacaque and Las Choapas, a little help to the gap in living our brothers. Minatitlan, was outrageous receive messages and calls from people close to Guadalupe Porras to ask what we gave support colony, in which community, for us to visit some of her assistant to monitor who we gave him. Of course, sent it flying despite its threats of going to accuse us with a certain Marcos.
By way of Fidel, Ms. Porras pressed until the reporters wait with patience until CIRIT his son, to deliver groceries and pose for the photo. The kitchens in the shelters did not deliver the food ration for her to authorize up to the last kilo of beans, a gallon of milk, diapers, shoes, clothes, everything, only until she could deliver appeared with his aides and his son to take the picture, smiled and endlessly declare that she was a benefactor of the poor, almost almost believed it to fool you, it came out good the so Porras. That was the True Culture of Civil Protection.
The year 2010 showed that we like, without warning, without works that really help people to avoid misfortune more, authorities simulators, lying and at worst, extremely corrupt.
Japan lives in disgrace despite being one of the most prepared countries in prevention, with a strong culture of civil protection. Sure, we blame nature but what about our culture of prevention?
Veracruz Fidel Herrera withstood the earthquake and tsunami Minatitlan Guadalupe Porras. It causes me real sorrow the corruption that has prevailed between the outgoing and current, between the impunity of negotiating and forgive those responsible in the event of a major disgrace. If no action is taken right from now, before any type of emergency, culture civil protection will come out more like a simulation.
What if you lose the life of someone? As I said, those dead are forgotten, such as do not vote, those do not matter.

famine threatens us
With climate disasters possibly triggered by the emission of greenhouse gases, the 2003 heat wave in Europe fell by a third its grain production. Russia, the third largest wheat exporter in the world, for reasons similar closed in 2010 its exports and Canada adopted similar policies. All forecasts indicate that global warming and climatic disturbances tend to increase their evil influence, but are not the only factor in the global food shortage.
Capitalism can not solve this situation: it is he who creates it. Their industries and vehicles contribute to climate disasters trigger. The capitalist does not grow to satisfy hunger, but for profit. Devotes an important part of the crops to the textile industry, livestock feed and bio fuels. Transnational corporations have made massive purchases of land in the Third World, devoted to monoculture crops for export and not for domestic food. The Organization of the United Nations Food and Agriculture (FAO) admitted in 2004 that neo-liberal policies, free market and the adjustments dictated by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization it impossible for countries to ensure the human right to food ("The famine is born of economic model; www.patrialibre.org 24/06/2008).
The capital is concentrated in a shrinking number of hands: the food too. A dozen interconnected corporations and 36 subsidiaries dominate global production and marketing. Sign up the Anglo-Dutch-Swiss, twelve of them are associated to the lineup of Windsor, the English ruling house, the others are mostly related five other royal houses. Just two, Continental and Cargill, control more than half of global grain production. This colossal oligopoly dominates 95% of food production in the United States, Europe, the Commonwealth countries and Latin America, especially Argentina and Brazil, and their harvests depend five billion people. In the rest of the world have depressed food production by initiating the removal of protectionist policies and subsidies, the suspension of funding and large agricultural projects, dumping and control over seeds and fertilizers (Jerome War: "The scarcity and shortages as weapons of mass destruction "; Rebellion 24/02/2008).
Before the collapse of 2008, the speculative economy exceeded eighty times the actual production of goods. The same is beginning to happen with food.
According to FAO figures, and in 2007 the international price of maize increased by 31%, rice by 74%, 60% vegetable oils, dairy products 83%, 87% soy and wheat 130% (http : / / ipsnews.net / news.asp? idnews = 42,294).
According to the global organization GRAIN the current speculation on food rose from $ 5,000 million in 2000 to $ 175,000 million in 2007, that between August and September 2010 on the Chicago Board of wheat jumped its price from 60 to 80% with respect to July; that according to Hilda Ochoa-Brillembourg, president of Strategic Investment Group, investment advisers from the World Bank estimates that since 2008 the speculative demand for agricultural commodities futures has grown between 40 and 80 percent ("get money to hunger; Environment Bulletin, 10/03/2011). Speculation and the scarcity leads to dramatic price increases. September 2011 a bushel of corn was $ 466.3, for March 2011 has reached $ 788. Wheat in the same period jumps from $ 2,794 to $ 3,675 a bushel, with sugar, a bushel of $ 5,616 to $ 7,437 (Cynthia Carreño: http://www.publico.es/dinero/364865/el-hambre-de-ganancias-infla -the-price-of-the-food). Behind the turmoil in Europe and the Arab world are critical shortages and price hikes of food.
Are we free from this crisis in Latin America?
By contrast, our status as dependent economies makes it feel multiplied the effects of global disturbances. Illustrative purposes only examine some Latin American countries traditionally regarded as strong producers and exporters of food.
Mexico began to lose that status after the signing of NAFTA, which allowed its agriculture was destroyed by competition from subsidized U.S. crops. Some four million farmers lost their land and had to migrate to cities for 1995 the government declared five "areas of hunger."
The Bank of Mexico reports that in 2007 the country paid $ 5 billion dollars in 2005 for the importation of 127 basic food items and agricultural inputs, an increase of 62% and that two thirds of the increases are reflected in five commodities: corn, wheat, soy, milk powder and seeds (Laura Carlsen: "Behind Latin America's Food Crisis, America's Program, 5/19/2008). By 1989 another
traditionally agricultural country, Colombia, produced 90% percent of food consuming, two decades later by political and social matters over 90% percent of the corn, rice 57% and 44% of the beans, and coffee production is in ruins. Although the country has not enacted a Free Trade Agreement with the U.S., they will sell agricultural products by $ 1,500 million, 38% of the $ 4,000 that sold annually in Latin America ("The famine is born of the economic model www.patrialibre . org 24/06/2008).
One of the countries with higher agricultural production is Brazil, where agriculture pays 8% of its huge GDP, covering domestic needs and employs a quarter of its workforce, placing it as the largest producer of sugar cane and coffee and a major exporter of soybeans, snuff, chocolate, orange and wood. This enormous expansion of food production has been done however at the expense of deforestation and destruction of huge tracts of forest, tropical forest and "closed" that could eventually jeopardize the water supply, and by the uncontrolled expansion of estates, sometimes transnational property, which has left the status of "landless" or poverty for millions of Brazilians, of whom 46 million have been declared "unsafe food." Brazil has increased greenhouse gas emissions by 41% between 1990 and 2005. To be located in the equatorial zone, is and will in future be one of the countries most affected by global warming, which affect food production. Argentina, another major agricultural producers, was hit between 2008 and 2009 by the worst drought in a century.
Also, between 2010 and 2011 unpredictable droughts and floods devastate agriculture in Colombia and Venezuela. According to World Bank reports, the total agricultural production could decline by between 3 percent and 15 percent due to global climate change by the end of the century, and some studies say these figures could be much worse in the agricultural regions of the equatorial zone of Latin America (http://solveclimate.com/news/20090306/climate-change-could-devastate-latin-americas-agriculture). Extreme measures
emergency situations require extreme measures and immediate. To begin to remedy the situation, movements and progressive governments must stop the destruction of green areas and wetlands on the planet, veto any efforts to privatize water systems or for distribution, limiting the emission of greenhouse gases; place social control water and arable land, prohibiting bulk purchases of land by transnational or foreign powers, perform radical land reforms, declared of public interest and protect food production, limit the cultivation of biofuels, textiles and vegetable consumption and promote livestock species for direct human consumption, hold the import or export of such goods to the public interest monitor GM and severely penalize land speculation dramatically or with food. Low will
however such measures while the attempt within the capitalist mode of production, who founded the accumulation for the few over the misery of all. Still other elements highlight the urgency of building a new mode of production. Studies all credit worthy of note that already exceeded the peak of exploitation of hydrocarbons, and now on his farm yields reduced. Some estimates indicate that by 2050 oil will be exhausted. Other calculations extend this expectation, but overconsumption can shorten it. Anything else will the coal, further polluting fuel, but also be consumed. With them will go out the model of civilization in which we live. There are technical means to survive this catastrophe, but not the social and economic organization to enable their implementation. Rather than create, the developed countries oil pillage.
Those who have, we should organize ourselves to survive.

The Presidency of the Republic:
heating phase
I will give giddy with social events today, makes most sometimes decide the issue we can deal, however we must not ignore the fact that the immediate future of our country which will involve the lives of many Mexicans, so we should not fail to observe the development of political activity today.
The process of political change - Not the democratic transition of our country - has eventually incorporating unique edges because our electoral evolution as one of the first moments of democracy remains unfinished and imperfect process, subject to the amendments the applicant company itself is doing well as suggesting guidelines that the correlation of forces groups to political and economic actors you are imposing.
In this way we detected an interesting process that identifies a framework for expansion of freedoms, which at times degenerates into debauchery threatening the principle of tolerance as well as the objective expression of ideas, they have already been engaged as daily practice of our social world and that is why, in the prospective electoral politics in 2012, found as the main adversary of citizen participation is a serious risk of lack credibility.
By sharing views with various people, the common of them have as a reference for policy, political parties, government and public servants to corruption, regardless of whether all those involved in public service or have not with examples of honesty, for ordinary citizens, politicians and what relates to their activities, it smells like rotting punitive. Cataloguing
Liked this phenomenon, we consider that part of our social reality as a niche opportunity for those running for office next year, and prepare their arguments and proposals in a convincing way to regain the credibility that unfortunately because of the greed and improvisation of some, not just by the way, has wronged political practice and many who work with commitment in the areas of government are unfairly target qualifiers nothing pleasing, it is important to dignify politics and rescue the massive smear that is due to the stupidity of those who failed in the time considered as a noble and transcendent.
is why citizens should be more informed and objective analysis of what happens in the world is broader audience, so one of the instruments for measuring the popularity of those who aspire to compete for the presidency of the republic are the polls and according to the results of a gives them some indicators such as:
count public acceptance by political parties whether or not there are alliances during February fell by 40% in favor of the PRI, 22% for the PAN and 19% for the PRD, so the tricolor but decreased one percentage point, keeps track of preferences from October to date.
The analysis reveals that 9 out of every 100 citizens interested for what happens politically while for 52% of elections are useless, so there is a 39% interest it does not define whether to participate with their vote is helpful or not, so here it is identified an important group of exploration political parties and which in turn could be candidates.
Recall that according to COFIPE within each political party who aspire to elected office, may participate in an internal process to then go to the arena to win votes with their competitors who happen to be, so it is in that moment where you will know the level of maturity acquired and preventing fragmentation of the militants accepting internal results should all be very careful not to wear them fall into force remaining in the road that will run later, and this will be the third week of December to the third week of February.
This internal process is applicable to candidates for president of the republic, the senate and federal delegations, so we will see an intensive process that will define scenarios and possibilities of one or another political force.
However, within the PRI, so far ahead in the polls who is the State of Mexico Governor Enrique Peña Nieto to a significant margin above the coordinator of the PRI senators Manlio Fabio Beltrones, for the moment to leave tricolor leadership Beatriz Paredes Rangel was not involved and the national leader of the CNOP Emilio Gamboa, who also raises his hand as the former governor of Veracruz Fidel Herrera Beltrán.
Everything will depend largely on 3 factors that are the result of the elections in the State of Mexico, whether or not alliances between the PAN and the PRD, the PRI's internal unity in truth and strategy need to define for electoral competition, while the percentages are there.
As regards those who aspire for the PAN, the order of positioning is as follows: Santiago Creel to the head (though not the candidate Calderon), Josefina Vazquez Mota, very smart and skilled in various scenarios showing that gender equality is one of the elements that help in time, the current Secretary of the Treasury and Public Credit Ernesto Cordero (the other, with the blessing of the Lord), who will try to overcome their unfortunate statement that a householder can afford the tuition of their children particularly with an income of 6 000 pesos a month and Alonso Lujambio, Secretary of Public Education that came at least in the mind of the leader of the teachers to open Elba Esther Gordillo the institutional field to members of a new teachers union recently launched the other 6 for the 10 that says absolutely not presume nothing.
Add to this the statements of the supreme commander of the forces PAN Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, who said a stroke almost without saying that if necessary to rely on an external candidate, which in the understanding of interpretation means that none of the mentioned in the blue and white up to win, well that is what is meant, regardless of the unfortunate recipient of such a controversial event and the statement said contrario pan national leader Gustavo Madero, who said his candidate for presidency the republic will be 99.99% PAN, there are statements that guide his approach everyone.
As regards the PRD, or who hesitate, out of 3 PRD, 2 are with Lopez Obrador and the remainder to Marcelo Ebrard, the case of López Obrador is always controversial, as well as the figure with the highest negative percentage among the citizens, the PRD remains a leader, to the extent that has the sympathy of 50% of the membership of his party and if the PRD is going into alliance with the PAN and López Obrador is the candidate of the PT and Convergence, 47% of the PRD vote for him, ie have a hard vote would represent a major loss for the PRD to the dogs.
Without the participation of Tabasco does not guarantee victory to the candidate of his political boss Calderón and is to this stage you have to see what the strategy should be weighed Marcelo Ebrard and Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas opinion regarding a possible López Obrador leadership for the second time in the game of the Aztec sun, something meant. Only
just add on 22% acceptance of the PAN and the PRD 13% to realize that at this time or allies reach the tricolor or its nominee if now he were Pena Nieto, the PRD restémosle This should be done López Obrador if the course of the division was upgraded and the numbers are not very encouraging for the hypothetical alliance, so here are the scenarios in this time, just enough to remember that photography can move according to a number of variables. We'll see what happens

North African ARABS José Manuel Villagomez Chain
I am sure and convinced that the recent social events in North Africa appear to specialists in various disciplines such as history, sociology, etc., as a rich vein of research on social movements. There is raw material for many years.
For a long time, except sporadic relevant events, the invisibility of these countries in the Western world moving to media headlines for religious affairs, tribal fighting, coups, and its huge oil resources, by the trappings of some of its pharaonic rulers, etc. Little is known
many Western civilized countries they sell weapons and the finest luxuries in exchange for oil Pharaonic mainly upon which the economy in most of these desert places. Injections of euros and dollars, that rest and treasure in the first world banks aseptic Islamic ideologies.
Except now, the current social events, a vast majority did not know, and we in the same situation, that the incalculable resources obtained of their main source of economic resources, the energy is trapped in the hands of the ruling class nepotistic.
In other words, the money did not translate into better quality of life for the people. Unemployment, high poverty levels, lack of political freedoms, prohibited the creation and existence of political parties, an underground opposition disjointed domestic or foreign, tribal or religious domestic struggles, young college without occupation, etc. We can summarize that we speak of nations with minimal power elite and a huge people miserable.
Despite the strong and repressive iron fist that rules this unholy leadership, the nonconformity finally reached unsustainable levels and that home was a revolt moved to a bloody struggle, as the case of Libya.
The initial demands were, if there was the will, the sensitivity required and necessary, have been resolved favorably to the plaintiffs. Popular demands, modest in its aspirations, could have been resolved with relative ease, because the same was reduced to maintain the standards of survival and at no time were radical political aspirations.
The wrong response to the disagreement he was giving a different dynamic to this social struggle, the petitions were raising their sights, and soon sought, which not requested from the beginning, the overthrow of the ruling caste. Although there was a belated response to this clamor reformist, social struggle and was on track. Tunisia and Egypt are the example and result of these movements.
It seems that the satrap of Libya you are receiving the holy oils, which is a matter of hours or days the fall of the dictatorship of operetta. Morocco, Algeria and other countries have their seeds of civil rebellion but not stages that allow us to ensure that the same thing happen with earlier peoples. Each has similarities and specificities to consider making it very difficult to predict their future. The reality is that the North Africa is changing.
We should not expect them to install a Western-style democracy for several reasons. In areas where the revolution overthrew their oppressors there is a power vacuum in the absence of political parties, because it was an active and diverse civil strife, there was no dominant political actor, his previous forms of government, monarchy, have been reigning since long time many of their military representatives have or had the power, if it is true that the militia has been lenient with these changes, we can not measure their rates of nostalgia in relation to the gravitational force of attraction of political power. In short, time tell us which direction they took these epics popular at the moment, are in the crucial stage to consolidate and give direction to a new relationship between rulers and ruled.
Now, much has been allotted to social media to have been the protagonists of these stories. I think he's overstating the important service they had in these cases. They were and are a factor in information systems where the only way to receive it was illegal and blocked, but the central role and it was categorical civil mass through them articulated and wanted to give wings to their complaints.
Nor are forms to fill in other countries to start riots. The degrees of oppression are not identical in other places even if they have similar limitations and shortcomings such as high unemployment, lack of democracy, poverty and rampant poverty, etc. Otherwise, half the world would be in flames if they participate in those exact hardship, but as not, this indicates that require subjective and objective conditions to achieve these stages of struggle.
What we should consider any government or satrap, is that nothing is immutable, that the territory of the people's patience has its limits as well as different resources for the satisfaction of their demands. You have to know how to take the power to rule in favor of popular causes, but eventually, you need to know to give it to new winds fresh and modern. That is the lesson, I hope to digest those seeking to become eternal in the charges.

Please note!!
A car parked in the shade during the day with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg. Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 16 º C, the benzene level will rise to 2000-4000 mg., 40 times the acceptable level ...
People who get in the car with the windows closed in quick succession inevitably suck excessive amounts of the toxin.
Benzene is a toxin that affects the kidneys and liver. Worse, it is extremely difficult for the body to expel this toxic substance.
Simple
Air Conditioning or Air of Cars
In the driver's manual states that before turning the air conditioning, should one open the windows and leave them like that for a time of two minutes, but do not specify "why" only hint at it is to his "best performance" .-
Here comes the medical reason:
According to one study, the cooling air before going cold, sends all the air from hot plastic which emits Benzene , a toxin that causes Cancer (takes a while to realize the smell of heated plastic in the car). Hence the importance of keeping the windows down a few minutes.
"Please do not turn the air conditioning or just the normal air immediately to get into the car.
You must first open the windows and after a moment on the air and keep the windows down until after a few minutes.
addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduced white blood cells.
Prolonged exposure can cause leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.
can also cause an abortion. The appropriate level of Benzene in indoors is 50 mg. per 929 cm2
So folks, please before entering the car, open the windows and the door to allow time to air out and disperse within the deadly toxin.

"When someone shares something of value that will benefit you, have a moral obligation to share it with others."

power
The official unveiling took Josefina Vazquez Mota out on Tuesday 6 night with Mr. Juayderito, Joaquin Lopez Doriga, puts a special ingredient which is presumed to be the Mother of All Battles in the year 2012 election: the election of the President.
National Action Party will by then occupied the presidential chair for 12 years: 6 years with Vicente Fox, whose greatest merit was to have defeated the then all-powerful PRI and 6 years of Felipe Calderón, who defeated Andrés Manuel López Obrador when many took for the fact that El Peje govern our country. By 2012
Mexicans already have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow they have governed two parts: First, the PRI corrupt and complicit, creator of the poor, rich factory of chiefs, white collar thieves, on the other hand, the PAN that has disappointed many who did not go back against vowed to fight impunity , which ended up being complicit in shameful agreement with the powers of our country.
So far, it appears that will be left far behind the "merit and" from 1988 and 2006. Although AMLO and Ebrard are tapping between left party, internal division, the current struggle and the structure created in pure pragmatism, affect the public perception that a government can be improved what's left of our country then.
For the PRI, we know, Enrique Peña Nieto, the brightest star in the Channel of the Stars and their corrupt accomplices: Fidel Herrera Beltrán, Ulises Ruiz, Carlos Romero Deschamps, Mario Marín Torres, Carlos Salinas de Gortari, Manlio Fabio Beltrones , all accompanied by regional petty thief, with very few exceptions. Return to the past with the future image, with mirrors and promises that "we learned and do not do it again."
in the national media had indicated that the PAN had no roosters, but which fungi in the first rains, just spoke President Calderón, left all in droves to show muscle, people know all-white horses. Josefina Vazquez Mota
he was already in pre-campaign, had traveled several states under the pretext of showing the legislative agenda and "reforms that Mexico needs."
I had the chance to hear it twice, I think an interesting woman, educated and intelligent but, first, have to win the domestic jurisdiction of his party and, secondly, to compete against two men.
Felipe Calderón won the internal Santiago Creel when he had the support of Fox and Martha Sahagun, negligible support. Nobody gave a weight Calderon at the time. In the 2006 campaign, Calderón AMLO had to fight when he was up in all surveys, the PAN candidate was said to come at the wrong time, Lopez Obrador and Madrazo had spent years in pre-campaign. Today, Felipe Calderon is the President of Mexico. Josefina Vazquez Mota
has been in the SEDESOL, was one of the strategists of Calderon with the late Juan Camilo Mouriño. He was also head of the SEP and is currently the coordinator of the PAN bloc in the Chamber of Deputies. Has proven to be a woman prepared, clever, savvy strategies, knows how to measure time, had no other media wear political actors.
Apart from the internal election of the PAN, the competition against two men, one of the PRI and one on the left, JVM will have to fight against gender bias of giving a woman the most important position that a Mexican can expect: the presidency of our country. Are we prepared in Mexico for a woman to rule over us?
In Mexico, some women have held public office, secretaries of state party chairs, governorships, in our region, recently reached the number of women mayors: Regina Vázquez Saut, Gladys Merlin Castro, Guadalupe Porras David, Mary Esther Rico Angela Pulido in a substitution. What qualifications can give them?
If a woman take the example of Guadalupe Porras, Mexico would be a total disaster, fortunately, Josefina Vazquez Mota husband does not have a collection of tithes, yes she is intelligent, educated, prepared and has not been sick in the first brick. Josefina Vazquez Mota
now has the opportunity to prove that a woman can do better, low-profile compared with other PAN-the time when the race starts, the experience, the contrast in image and speech to their potential opponents, they play for it.
will see and say. This is just beginning.

That was the True Culture of Civil Protection.
The year 2010 showed that we like, without warning, without works that really help people to avoid misfortune more, authorities simulators, lying and at worst, extremely corrupt.
Japan lives in disgrace despite being one of the most prepared countries in prevention, with a strong culture of civil protection. Sure, we blame nature but what about our culture of prevention?
Veracruz Fidel Herrera withstood the earthquake and tsunami Minatitlan Guadalupe Porras. It causes me real sorrow the corruption that has prevailed between the outgoing and current, between the impunity of negotiating and forgive those responsible in the event of a major disgrace. If no action is taken right from now, before any type of emergency, culture civil protection will come out more like a simulation.

The capital is concentrated in a shrinking number of hands: the food too. A dozen interconnected corporations and 36 subsidiaries dominate global production and marketing. Sign up the Anglo-Dutch-Swiss, twelve of them are associated to the lineup of Windsor, the English ruling house, the others are mostly related five other royal houses. Just two, Continental and Cargill, control more than half of global grain production. This colossal oligopoly dominates 95% of food production in the United States, Europe, the Commonwealth countries and Latin America, especially Argentina and Brazil, and their harvests depend five billion people. In the rest of the world have depressed food production by initiating the removal of protectionist policies and subsidies, the suspension of funding and large agricultural projects, dumping and control over seeds and fertilizers (Jerome War: "The scarcity and shortages as weapons of mass destruction "; Rebellion 24/02/2008).
Before the collapse of 2008, the speculative economy exceeded eighty times the actual production of goods. The same is beginning to happen with food.
According to FAO figures, and in 2007 the international price of maize increased by 31%, rice by 74%, 60% vegetable oils, dairy products 83%, 87% soy and wheat 130% (http : / / ipsnews.net / news.asp? idnews = 42,294).
According to the global organization GRAIN the current speculation on food rose from $ 5,000 million in 2000 to $ 175,000 million in 2007, that between August and September 2010 on the Chicago Board of wheat jumped its price from 60 to 80% with respect to July; that according to Hilda Ochoa-Brillembourg, president of Strategic Investment Group, investment advisers from the World Bank estimates that since 2008 the speculative demand for agricultural commodities futures has grown between 40 and 80 percent ("get money to hunger; Environment Bulletin, 10/03/2011). Speculation and the scarcity leads to dramatic price increases. September 2011 a bushel of corn was $ 466.3, for March 2011 has reached $ 788. Wheat in the same period jumps from $ 2,794 to $ 3,675 a bushel, with sugar, a bushel of $ 5,616 to $ 7,437 (Cynthia Carreño: http://www.publico.es/dinero/364865/el-hambre-de-ganancias-infla -the-price-of-the-food). Behind the turmoil in Europe and the Arab world are critical shortages and price hikes of food.
Are we free from this crisis in Latin America?
By contrast, our status as dependent economies makes it feel multiplied the effects of global disturbances. Illustrative purposes only examine some Latin American countries traditionally regarded as strong producers and exporters of food.
Mexico began to lose that status after the signing of NAFTA, which allowed its agriculture was destroyed by competition from subsidized U.S. crops. Some four million farmers lost their land and had to migrate to cities for 1995 the government declared five "areas of hunger."
The Bank of Mexico reports that in 2007 the country paid $ 5 billion dollars in 2005 for the importation of 127 basic food items and agricultural inputs, an increase of 62% and that two thirds of the increases are reflected in five commodities: corn, wheat, soy, milk powder and seeds (Laura Carlsen: "Behind Latin America's Food Crisis, America's Program, 5/19/2008). By 1989 another
traditionally agricultural country, Colombia, produced 90% percent of food consuming, two decades later by political and social matters over 90% percent of the corn, rice 57% and 44% of the beans, and coffee production is in ruins. Although the country has not enacted a Free Trade Agreement with the U.S., they will sell agricultural products by $ 1,500 million, 38% of the $ 4,000 that sold annually in Latin America ("The famine is born of the economic model www.patrialibre . org 24/06/2008).
One of the countries with higher agricultural production is Brazil, where agriculture pays 8% of its huge GDP, covering domestic needs and employs a quarter of its workforce, placing it as the largest producer of sugar cane and coffee and a major exporter of soybeans, snuff, chocolate, orange and wood. This enormous expansion of food production has been done however at the expense of deforestation and destruction of huge tracts of forest, tropical forest and "closed" that could eventually jeopardize the water supply, and by the uncontrolled expansion of estates, sometimes transnational property, which has left the status of "landless" or poverty for millions of Brazilians, of whom 46 million have been declared "unsafe food." Brazil has increased greenhouse gas emissions by 41% between 1990 and 2005. To be located in the equatorial zone, is and will in future be one of the countries most affected by global warming, which affect food production. Argentina, another major agricultural producers, was hit between 2008 and 2009 by the worst drought in a century.
Also, between 2010 and 2011 unpredictable droughts and floods devastate agriculture in Colombia and Venezuela. According to World Bank reports, the total agricultural production could decline by between 3 percent and 15 percent due to global climate change by the end of the century, and some studies say these figures could be much worse in the agricultural regions of the equatorial zone of Latin America (http://solveclimate.com/news/20090306/climate-change-could-devastate-latin-americas-agriculture). Extreme measures
emergency situations require extreme measures and immediate. To begin to remedy the situation, movements and progressive governments must stop the destruction of green areas and wetlands on the planet, veto any efforts to privatize water systems or for distribution, limiting the emission of greenhouse gases; place social control water and arable land, prohibiting bulk purchases of land by transnational or foreign powers, perform radical land reforms, declared of public interest and protect food production, limit the cultivation of biofuels, textiles and vegetable consumption and promote livestock species for direct human consumption, hold the import or export of such goods to the public interest monitor GM and severely penalize land speculation dramatically or with food. Low will
however such measures while the attempt within the capitalist mode of production, who founded the accumulation for the few over the misery of all. Still other elements highlight the urgency of building a new mode of production. Studies all credit worthy of note that already exceeded the peak of exploitation of hydrocarbons, and now on his farm yields reduced. Some estimates indicate that by 2050 oil will be exhausted. Other calculations extend this expectation, but overconsumption can shorten it. Anything else will the coal, further polluting fuel, but also be consumed. With them will go out the model of civilization in which we live. There are technical means to survive this catastrophe, but not the social and economic organization to enable their implementation. Rather than create, the developed countries oil pillage.
Those who have, we should organize ourselves to survive.

The Presidency of the Republic:
heating phase
I will give giddy with social events today, makes most sometimes decide the issue we can deal, however we must not ignore the fact that the immediate future of our country which will involve the lives of many Mexicans, so we should not fail to observe the development of political activity today.
The process of political change - Not the democratic transition of our country - has eventually incorporating unique edges because our electoral evolution as one of the first moments of democracy remains unfinished and imperfect process, subject to the amendments the applicant company itself is doing well as suggesting guidelines that the correlation of forces groups to political and economic actors you are imposing.
In this way we detected an interesting process that identifies a framework for expansion of freedoms, which at times degenerates into debauchery threatening the principle of tolerance as well as the objective expression of ideas, they have already been engaged as daily practice of our social world and that is why, in the prospective electoral politics in 2012, found as the main adversary of citizen participation is a serious risk of lack credibility.
By sharing views with various people, the common of them have as a reference for policy, political parties, government and public servants to corruption, regardless of whether all those involved in public service or have not with examples of honesty, for ordinary citizens, politicians and what relates to their activities, it smells like rotting punitive. Cataloguing
Liked this phenomenon, we consider that part of our social reality as a niche opportunity for those running for office next year, and prepare their arguments and proposals in a convincing way to regain the credibility that unfortunately because of the greed and improvisation of some, not just by the way, has wronged political practice and many who work with commitment in the areas of government are unfairly target qualifiers nothing pleasing, it is important to dignify politics and rescue the massive smear that is due to the stupidity of those who failed in the time considered as a noble and transcendent.
is why citizens should be more informed and objective analysis of what happens in the world is broader audience, so one of the instruments for measuring the popularity of those who aspire to compete for the presidency of the republic are the polls and according to the results of a gives them some indicators such as:
count public acceptance by political parties whether or not there are alliances during February fell by 40% in favor of the PRI, 22% for the PAN and 19% for the PRD, so the tricolor but decreased one percentage point, keeps track of preferences from October to date.
The analysis reveals that 9 out of every 100 citizens interested for what happens politically while for 52% of elections are useless, so there is a 39% interest it does not define whether to participate with their vote is helpful or not, so here it is identified an important group of exploration political parties and which in turn could be candidates.
Recall that according to COFIPE within each political party who aspire to elected office, may participate in an internal process to then go to the arena to win votes with their competitors who happen to be, so it is in that moment where you will know the level of maturity acquired and preventing fragmentation of the militants accepting internal results should all be very careful not to wear them fall into force remaining in the road that will run later, and this will be the third week of December to the third week of February.
This internal process is applicable to candidates for president of the republic, the senate and federal delegations, so we will see an intensive process that will define scenarios and possibilities of one or another political force.
However, within the PRI, so far ahead in the polls who is the State of Mexico Governor Enrique Peña Nieto to a significant margin above the coordinator of the PRI senators Manlio Fabio Beltrones, for the moment to leave tricolor leadership Beatriz Paredes Rangel was not involved and the national leader of the CNOP Emilio Gamboa, who also raises his hand as the former governor of Veracruz Fidel Herrera Beltrán.
Everything will depend largely on 3 factors that are the result of the elections in the State of Mexico, whether or not alliances between the PAN and the PRD, the PRI's internal unity in truth and strategy need to define for electoral competition, while the percentages are there.
As regards those who aspire for the PAN, the order of positioning is as follows: Santiago Creel to the head (though not the candidate Calderon), Josefina Vazquez Mota, very smart and skilled in various scenarios showing that gender equality is one of the elements that help in time, the current Secretary of the Treasury and Public Credit Ernesto Cordero (the other, with the blessing of the Lord), who will try to overcome their unfortunate statement that a householder can afford the tuition of their children particularly with an income of 6 000 pesos a month and Alonso Lujambio, Secretary of Public Education that came at least in the mind of the leader of the teachers to open Elba Esther Gordillo the institutional field to members of a new teachers union recently launched the other 6 for the 10 that says absolutely not presume nothing.
Add to this the statements of the supreme commander of the forces PAN Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, who said a stroke almost without saying that if necessary to rely on an external candidate, which in the understanding of interpretation means that none of the mentioned in the blue and white up to win, well that is what is meant, regardless of the unfortunate recipient of such a controversial event and the statement said contrario pan national leader Gustavo Madero, who said his candidate for presidency the republic will be 99.99% PAN, there are statements that guide his approach everyone.
As regards the PRD, or who hesitate, out of 3 PRD, 2 are with Lopez Obrador and the remainder to Marcelo Ebrard, the case of López Obrador is always controversial, as well as the figure with the highest negative percentage among the citizens, the PRD remains a leader, to the extent that has the sympathy of 50% of the membership of his party and if the PRD is going into alliance with the PAN and López Obrador is the candidate of the PT and Convergence, 47% of the PRD vote for him, ie have a hard vote would represent a major loss for the PRD to the dogs.
Without the participation of Tabasco does not guarantee victory to the candidate of his political boss Calderón and is to this stage you have to see what the strategy should be weighed Marcelo Ebrard and Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas opinion regarding a possible López Obrador leadership for the second time in the game of the Aztec sun, something meant. Only
just add on 22% acceptance of the PAN and the PRD 13% to realize that at this time or allies reach the tricolor or its nominee if now he were Pena Nieto, the PRD restémosle This should be done López Obrador if the course of the division was upgraded and the numbers are not very encouraging for the hypothetical alliance, so here are the scenarios in this time, just enough to remember that photography can move according to a number of variables. We'll see what happens

North African ARABS José Manuel Villagomez Chain
I am sure and convinced that the recent social events in North Africa appear to specialists in various disciplines such as history, sociology, etc., as a rich vein of research on social movements. There is raw material for many years.
For a long time, except sporadic relevant events, the invisibility of these countries in the Western world moving to media headlines for religious affairs, tribal fighting, coups, and its huge oil resources, by the trappings of some of its pharaonic rulers, etc. Little is known
many Western civilized countries they sell weapons and the finest luxuries in exchange for oil Pharaonic mainly upon which the economy in most of these desert places. Injections of euros and dollars, that rest and treasure in the first world banks aseptic Islamic ideologies.
Except now, the current social events, a vast majority did not know, and we in the same situation, that the incalculable resources obtained of their main source of economic resources, the energy is trapped in the hands of the ruling class nepotistic.
In other words, the money did not translate into better quality of life for the people. Unemployment, high poverty levels, lack of political freedoms, prohibited the creation and existence of political parties, an underground opposition disjointed domestic or foreign, tribal or religious domestic struggles, young college without occupation, etc. We can summarize that we speak of nations with minimal power elite and a huge people miserable.
Despite the strong and repressive iron fist that rules this unholy leadership, the nonconformity finally reached unsustainable levels and that home was a revolt moved to a bloody struggle, as the case of Libya.
The initial demands were, if there was the will, the sensitivity required and necessary, have been resolved favorably to the plaintiffs. Popular demands, modest in its aspirations, could have been resolved with relative ease, because the same was reduced to maintain the standards of survival and at no time were radical political aspirations.
The wrong response to the disagreement he was giving a different dynamic to this social struggle, the petitions were raising their sights, and soon sought, which not requested from the beginning, the overthrow of the ruling caste. Although there was a belated response to this clamor reformist, social struggle and was on track. Tunisia and Egypt are the example and result of these movements.
It seems that the satrap of Libya you are receiving the holy oils, which is a matter of hours or days the fall of the dictatorship of operetta. Morocco, Algeria and other countries have their seeds of civil rebellion but not stages that allow us to ensure that the same thing happen with earlier peoples. Each has similarities and specificities to consider making it very difficult to predict their future. The reality is that the North Africa is changing.
We should not expect them to install a Western-style democracy for several reasons. In areas where the revolution overthrew their oppressors there is a power vacuum in the absence of political parties, because it was an active and diverse civil strife, there was no dominant political actor, his previous forms of government, monarchy, have been reigning since long time many of their military representatives have or had the power, if it is true that the militia has been lenient with these changes, we can not measure their rates of nostalgia in relation to the gravitational force of attraction of political power. In short, time tell us which direction they took these epics popular at the moment, are in the crucial stage to consolidate and give direction to a new relationship between rulers and ruled.
Now, much has been allotted to social media to have been the protagonists of these stories. I think he's overstating the important service they had in these cases. They were and are a factor in information systems where the only way to receive it was illegal and blocked, but the central role and it was categorical civil mass through them articulated and wanted to give wings to their complaints.
Nor are forms to fill in other countries to start riots. The degrees of oppression are not identical in other places even if they have similar limitations and shortcomings such as high unemployment, lack of democracy, poverty and rampant poverty, etc. Otherwise, half the world would be in flames if they participate in those exact hardship, but as not, this indicates that require subjective and objective conditions to achieve these stages of struggle.
What we should consider any government or satrap, is that nothing is immutable, that the territory of the people's patience has its limits as well as different resources for the satisfaction of their demands. You have to know how to take the power to rule in favor of popular causes, but eventually, you need to know to give it to new winds fresh and modern. That is the lesson, I hope to digest those seeking to become eternal in the charges.
CHESS CLUB:
Please note!!
A car parked in the shade during the day with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg. Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 16 º C, the benzene level will rise to 2000-4000 mg., 40 times the acceptable level ...
People who get in the car with the windows closed in quick succession inevitably suck excessive amounts of the toxin.
Benzene is a toxin that affects the kidneys and liver. Worse, it is extremely difficult for the body to expel this toxic substance.
Simple
Air Conditioning or Air of Cars
In the driver's manual states that before turning the air conditioning, should one open the windows and leave them like that for a time of two minutes, but do not specify "why" only hint at it is to his "best performance" .-
Here comes the medical reason:
According to one study, the cooling air before going cold, sends all the air from hot plastic which emits Benzene , a toxin that causes Cancer (takes a while to realize the smell of heated plastic in the car). Hence the importance of keeping the windows down a few minutes.
"Please do not turn the air conditioning or just the normal air immediately to get into the car.
You must first open the windows and after a moment on the air and keep the windows down until after a few minutes.
addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduced white blood cells.
Prolonged exposure can cause leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.
can also cause an abortion. The appropriate level of Benzene in indoors is 50 mg. per 929 cm2
So folks, please before entering the car, open the windows and the door to allow time to air out and disperse within the deadly toxin.
Thought:
"When someone shares something of value that will benefit you, have a moral obligation to share it with others."

Women
power
The official unveiling took Josefina Vazquez Mota out on Tuesday 6 night with Mr. Juayderito, Joaquin Lopez Doriga, puts a special ingredient which is presumed to be the Mother of All Battles in the year 2012 election: the election of the President.
National Action Party will by then occupied the presidential chair for 12 years: 6 years with Vicente Fox, whose greatest merit was to have defeated the then all-powerful PRI and 6 years of Felipe Calderón, who defeated Andrés Manuel López Obrador when many took for the fact that El Peje govern our country. By 2012
Mexicans already have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow they have governed two parts: First, the PRI corrupt and complicit, creator of the poor, rich factory of chiefs, white collar thieves, on the other hand, the PAN that has disappointed many who did not go back against vowed to fight impunity , which ended up being complicit in shameful agreement with the powers of our country.
So far, it appears that will be left far behind the "merit and" from 1988 and 2006. Although AMLO and Ebrard are tapping between left party, internal division, the current struggle and the structure created in pure pragmatism, affect the public perception that a government can be improved what's left of our country then.
For the PRI, we know, Enrique Peña Nieto, the brightest star in the Channel of the Stars and their corrupt accomplices: Fidel Herrera Beltrán, Ulises Ruiz, Carlos Romero Deschamps, Mario Marín Torres, Carlos Salinas de Gortari, Manlio Fabio Beltrones , all accompanied by regional petty thief, with very few exceptions. Return to the past with the future image, with mirrors and promises that "we learned and do not do it again."
in the national media had indicated that the PAN had no roosters, but which fungi in the first rains, just spoke President Calderón, left all in droves to show muscle, people know all-white horses. Josefina Vazquez Mota
he was already in pre-campaign, had traveled several states under the pretext of showing the legislative agenda and "reforms that Mexico needs."
I had the chance to hear it twice, I think an interesting woman, educated and intelligent but, first, have to win the domestic jurisdiction of his party and, secondly, to compete against two men.
Felipe Calderón won the internal Santiago Creel when he had the support of Fox and Martha Sahagun, negligible support. Nobody gave a weight Calderon at the time. In the 2006 campaign, Calderón AMLO had to fight when he was up in all surveys, the PAN candidate was said to come at the wrong time, Lopez Obrador and Madrazo had spent years in pre-campaign. Today, Felipe Calderon is the President of Mexico. Josefina Vazquez Mota
has been in the SEDESOL, was one of the strategists of Calderon with the late Juan Camilo Mouriño. He was also head of the SEP and is currently the coordinator of the PAN bloc in the Chamber of Deputies. Has proven to be a woman prepared, clever, savvy strategies, knows how to measure time, had no other media wear political actors.
Apart from the internal election of the PAN, the competition against two men, one of the PRI and one on the left, JVM will have to fight against gender bias of giving a woman the most important position that a Mexican can expect: the presidency of our country. Are we prepared in Mexico for a woman to rule over us?
In Mexico, some women have held public office, secretaries of state party chairs, governorships, in our region, recently reached the number of women mayors: Regina Vázquez Saut, Gladys Merlin Castro, Guadalupe Porras David, Mary Esther Rico Angela Pulido in a substitution. What qualifications can give them?
If a woman take the example of Guadalupe Porras, Mexico would be a total disaster, fortunately, Josefina Vazquez Mota husband does not have a collection of tithes, yes she is intelligent, educated, prepared and has not been sick in the first brick. Josefina Vazquez Mota
now has the opportunity to prove that a woman can do better, low-profile compared with other PAN-the time when the race starts, the experience, the contrast in image and speech to their potential opponents, they play for it.
will see and say. This is just beginning.
