buvau filmo perziuroj the end of suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of The American Dream .
atrodo pasaulio pabaiga arteja kartu su naftos pabaiga, ten visokiausi protingi zmones kalbejo apie gamtines dujas ir naftos isgavimo pika, kad prieinama iki maksimumo , o tada isgavimas mazeja,ir brangsta, reikia giliau, daugiau energijos ir t.t. ir kokia katastrofa laukia pirmiausiai amerikietiskos svajones svajotoju su ju priemiesciais, dzipais ir drive thru mcdonaldu ir baznyciu. sako reikia kazka daryt nedelsiant , nes bus velu. gyvenimas sia diena nesites amzinai. alternatyvu nera. arba jos irgi reikalauja daug energijos. todel kuri laika reikes verstis per galva, uztikrint naftos tiekima, ieskot nauju priesu, nauju pavoju kad viskas butu pateisinta. nes bet kokiom priemonem reikia islaikyt esanti gyvenimo buda. koks politikas atsistos pries kamera ir sakys , viskas baigta taip gyvent kaip mes negalima. cia butu didziausia is revoliuciju. tokiu politiku prie kameru neprileidzia. cia daug info kalbejo apie relokalizacija, kad reikia pargrizt i miestus ir vel ismokt vaiksciot. statistika sako kad vidutiniskai maisto produktai keliauja tukstanti myliu kol pasiekia vartotoja. reikia pradet pirkt/augint vietinoj, bet kai visi laukai paversti i priemiescius, greitkelius ir shoping mallus kas tada? 200 000 000 masinu cia. o jei kinijos naujieji vartotojai prades pirkt hummer'ius ?? kas tada. kaip pasauline nafta dalinsimes? cia terminatorius arnoldas turi ju sako tarp sesiu ir astuoniu. istrauka is interviu 2000 metais: Currently I have four, including the very first civilian Hummer ever built. I first discovered the Hummer during a film shoot in Oregon -- there were a few of them driving in the street and we stopped them and asked, "who makes this car?" Later I called the company and had to convince them to make it because they had no interest in ever making the Hummer a civilian vehicle, so I flew to the factory, met with the chairman of the board and finally they bought in on it. They said, "Will you help us with the promotion?" I said, "Yes and I don't want anything. I'll buy my Hummers."
apie 25 litrai simtui kilometru beja, cia mano grubiais apskaiciavimais.

sutikau po filmo studenta is kolumbijos , jis koncertus pas save namie daro ir rodo trumpus klipus pries ir tarp muzikos su biskiu politikos ir informacijos, bet sako daug zmoniu kurie vaiksto i koncertus apatiski, sakau gerai zinau tai, visur taip.

Last week probably set a record for demonstrations in Israel against the
occupation -- a result not only of the 37th "anniversary" of the occupation,
which we mark in June, but also of the ongoing violence in Gaza: Some 30-40
more Rafah homes were destroyed this week, while many Palestinians were
arrested and some killed. Comparatively speaking, the army is now showing
restraint compared with the original onslaught, thanks to the outcry from
people all over the world. If you ever lose faith that your faxes and phone
calls make a difference, remind yourself that hundreds of homes, maybe even
thousands, were saved as a result of your efforts in this campaign. Keep
them coming.

The streets of Tel Aviv had "walking exhibitions" this week, as protesters
donned "sandwich boards" showing photographs of Gaza and the so-called
"security wall". On Wednesday, shoppers downtown and university students
got to see these graphic scenes and, on Friday, a big beach day in Tel Aviv,
the exhibitors snaked through beach chairs and blankets, bringing some
reality into the sunbathing. More reality was brought to Tel Aviv's
cultural set on Saturday night, as women brought the photos of Rafah's
destroyed homes to the lines of people waiting to get into the Philharmonic,
Habima Theater, and a movie theater. "How can you watch movies when homes
are being destroyed in Gaza?" chanted the women. Just in case people in
cars missed the sights, the women also blocked the streets (see photo), and
a car accompanying them projected slides onto the shutters of buildings
along the road.

A remarkable photo and video exhibit opened on Tuesday in Tel Aviv, showing
not art, but the abuse of Palestinians committed by Israeli soldiers in
Hebron. And who were the photographers? 30 soldiers who themselves had
served there. Through their stories and photos, this exhibit tells terrible
tales of violence, physical abuse, and property vandalism during their tours
of duty. Yehuda Shaul, a 21-year old, organized this exhibit after
completing his service in Hebron as an officer of a high level combat unit.
(After his release from the army, Yehuda stood with us several times on the
Jerusalem vigil of Women in Black.) When asked if the photos showed
isolated incidents, Yehuda replied, "Breaking silence about this subject is
exceptional, not the acts themselves."

At Thursday's gay pride parade in Jerusalem, Kveesa Shchora ("black
laundry"), the anti-occupation movement of lesbians and gay men, marched
separately carrying their own signs. The ultra-Orthodox Jerusalemites
turned out to insult and curse them, with a prominent Kabbalist rabbi
declaring that homosexuals were "subhuman" and would be "reincarnated" as
rabbits. "Be careful what you wish for," said a lesbian friend, thinking
perhaps of the procreation patterns of these sweet animal friends.

On Friday morning, we held a bus tour for women attending the Feminist
Conference in the north of Israel, bringing participants to see the
"Security Wall", which most had never seen before. This was followed by a
large Friday vigil of Women in Black, in which many conference participants
took part.

Saturday morning saw a joint Palestinian-Jerusalem demonstration at 'Aram,
just north of Jerusalem, where the government has just begun work on the
Wall. Fortunately, this demonstration went smoothly, with no violence from
the border police, which was another exception to the rule, unfortunately.

Saturday night, Peace Now held a demonstration in Jerusalem, where several
thousand people showed up to demand that the government leave the
territories. Amnon Lipkin-Shahak, former army Chief of Staff, called upon
everyone to go see the photo exhibition of the Hebron-based soldiers (good
for you, Amnon!). Less nice was the part where Peace Now told the police to
shut down the video screening of "Women Resist the Occupation" that we were
showing on a side street – in no way interfering with the main body of the
demonstration, which we supported.

Finally, beautiful purple posters bloomed like flowers all over Israel this
week, calling out "Dai Lakibush, Yad l'Piyus", meaning "End the Occupation,
Seek Reconciliation", and having the women's symbol on it (photo, above
left). We simply can’t imagine who would have illegally pasted posters in 3
cities, covering the walls, traffic signs, garbage cans, billboards, bus
stops, & fences...

buvau vakar premjeroj. nemaciau dar tiek miniu kino teatruose. visi seansai isparduoti. aisku koks nors ziedu valdovas taip pat parsiduoda. bet nesvarbu. filmas puikus. ankstesniuose jo filmuose buvo biski perdaug jo paties visa ko centre, o sitam nei perdaug nei per mazai. ypac rekomenduoju paziuret tiems kuriems karas 'nyku' ir kurie tiki priverstine demokratija, kaip vienintele iseitim. dauguma kadru ten kalba patys uz save.
tikiu kad stpriai paveiks rinkimus ir siaip poziuri i daugeli dalyku jei eiliniai amerikieciai masiskai eis i kinoteatrus ir ziures. nors kaip anksciau sakiau, kad ir koks prezidentas ateis bus panasus reikalas. problemos yra daug gilesnes, demokratija ir kapitalizmas don't mix mano nuomone, bet apie tai nenorima atvirai kalbet.

karas=taika!

pratesiant sita diskusija. pabandysiu per vasara gal padaryt koki zina ir santrauka apie visa sita reikala.nes visko per daug o man bloguose sunkiai rasosi.
'kodel cituoji orwella?', 'Ar budamas JAV pastebi totalitarizmo apraiskas ir bandai sieti demokratini
rezima su totalitariniu?'
bandau siet. ir cia kodel.

Ankstyvieji demokratijos teoretikai Europoje daug ideju pasiseme is Ameriku kolonistu. JAV konstitucija buvo ikvepta Irokezu konstitucijos. Ankstyvieji Ameriku 'atradejai' pasakojo nuostabias istorijas apie dideles visuomenes kuriose kiekvieno nuomones turi but atsiklausiama priimant sprendimus. Viena is pirmu knygu kelianciu demokratijos klausima buvo Thom Moor 'Utopia'
Tradicine demokratijos koncepcija isvystyta Svietimo amziuj turi gilias saknis nevakarietikose visuomenese, bet standartine istorija teigia kad demokratija buvo sukurta Graikijoj 500 PK, ir vel is naujo atrasta europieciu Svietimo amziuj.
Tie kurie remia Vakaru ekspansija daznai kalba apie vakarietisku vertybiu isplitima likusiame pasaulyje. Del to kad demokratija atsirado Europoje, tuo metu kai kapitalizmas buvo bespleciantis , daug vakaru mastytoju sieja viena su kitu.
Knygoje 'Demokratija ir kapitalizmas' Bowles ir Gintis priestarauja tam ir teigia kad demokratija ir kapitalizmas yra priesingybes vienas kitam. Kapitalizmas paremtas principu, kad zmones turintys privacia nuosavybe turi teise daryt su ja ka nori. Daug zmoniu galvoja, kad privati nuosavybe yra dalis demokratijos savokos. Bet tada tiems, neturintiems nuosavybes, reiskia kad jiems reikia parduot darba kad turet galimybe egzistuot, atiduodant savo teises laisvai valiai tiems kurie nuspres ka su tavim daryt astuoniu valandu darbo diena. Daugybe visuomenes aspektu, kurie yra butini zmoniu egzistencijai ir turetu but demokratiskoj kontrolej- nera, jie tampa asmeniniais sprendimais zmoniu kontroliuojanciu kapitala.(C.Kaufman)

paiimkim JAV pavyzdi, nes daugeliui kapitalizmo/demokratijos(?) salininku tai yra civilizacijos virsune. demokratija suprantama issirenkant atstovus kurie atstovautu daugumos intersus. taciau siuo metu tai yra korporaciju, didelio verslo zaidimu aikstele. demokratijoj (kur zmones dalyvauja, o ne jiems atstovauja) sprendimai turetu eit is apacios I virsu, o ne atvirksciai. nematau dideliu skirtumu tarp vertikalios hierarchiskos kokios bebutu totalitaristines valstybes ir 'demokratiskos'. rinkimams reikalingi pinigai, smegenu plovimo aka public relations ekspertai, ziniasklaida ir valdanciuju/turtinguju klasiu parama ir pritarimas. pvz. sie prezidento rinkimai. is pradziu buvo 10 ar daugiau kandidatu ir buvo keletas is ju kurie atrode tikrai jeigu butu isrinkti kazka pakeistu. vienas is ju denis kucinich, pagal mainstream standartus tikras radikalas , nors jo programoj nieko nesveiko nebuvo- sveikatos apsauga visiems, sazininga globali prekyba, moteru reprodukcines teises, aplinkosauga, taika o ne karas, tausojant energijos politika, pensijos ir t.t ar skamba kaip revoliucija? bet tai butu revoliucija sistemoj kur viskas nesa pelna. karas=pelnas. vezys, aids=pelnas. aplinkos naikinimas =pelnas. todel ziniasklaida kuri sukoncentruota keliu korporaciju rankose kurios atstovauja turtinguju interesus, tokius kandidatus sumala I miltus. reikia turet simtus milijonu doleriu kad vest rinkimine kampanija. o kas turi tokius pinigus ir gali investuot ? korporacijos ir visuomenes virsunes kurios nori kad esama santvarka isliktu ir butu galima toliau sekmingai pelnytis. ir tai yra uzdaras ratas. vienintelis budas kad kazkas pasikeistu yra aktyvus zmoniu dalyvavimas politiniuose procesuose, bet kada mediumas bendravimui yra skirtas pasyvumui augti, individualizmui aukstinti, kitokiems balsams slopinti, kaltinti save o ne sistema, uzsimirst prekybos centruose ir linksmintis, dirbt linksmintis. cia jus vadinat demokratija?

jav yra klasine visuomene. mitas kad klases neegzisuoja yra palankus tiems kas is to gauna nauda. tie kas yra virsuje, ar auskciau kitu. mitas kad visi turi vienodas galimybes, kad amerikietiska svajone kiekvienam pasiekiama idedant uztektinai pastangu. paimkim pavyzdi. kokios perspektyvos yra dviem vaikams. vienas gimsta aukstesnes viduriniosios klases priemiesciuose. mokyklos jav yra finansuojamos per nuosavybes mokescius. tai reiskia jei gyveni turtingesnej bnedruomej, tavo mokykla bus geriau finansuojama, o t.y. gersni mokytojai, saugene mokykla ir visos kitos priveligijos. bet jei tu gyveni inner city getuose, kur zmones skursta , moka mazus nuosavybes mokescius tavo mokykla bus priesinga. taip pat kulturine patirtis perduota tavo issilavinusiu tevu, pazistamu ratas ir t.t. priemiesciu vaikas baiges gera mokykla tures galimybe eit I gera universiteta, o po to turet ger darba, ir taip is kartos I karta. miesto vaikas is skurdaus rajono tures daug didesne galimybe, pradet vartot narkotikus, isivelt I smurta, nes visa aplinka yra smurtas. nuo gatves prievartos iki mass medios gangsterisku stereotipu ir vel amerikietiskos svojones, kad kiekvienas gali , bet kazkokdel ne. psichologines problemos, priesiskumas pries visuomene ir t.t. tada tokius (kuriu oda 'atsitiktinai' tamsesne ar kitokia) galima sukist I privatizuotus kalejimus. iseitis yra! o kai kalejimas privatus , reikia nuolatinio nusikaltusiu tiekimo, o kad butu garantuotas tiekimas galima paremt rinkimine kampanija pvz valstijos gubernatoriaus. o taip pat sveika visuomeneje visada turet baime. nes kai zmones bijo galima lengviau pateisnt sprendimus kurie yra ne nenaudingi daugumai, bet vardan saugumo. o tada galima daugiau parduot signalizaciju, daugiau privaciu saugumo organizaciju, ir t..t taip pat galima art dirva didesniems uzmojams. tada reikia saugotis ne tik vidiniu priesu bet ir isoriniu. tada ginkluojames, ginklus galimina privacios korporacijos kurios sako kad geriausias biznis yra biznis su vyriausybe nes ji nesismulkina ir moka daugiau neii bet kas kitas. tada kovojam su pasauliniu komunizmu, kuris pazeidineja zmoniu teises ir visus laiko priespaudoj. vardan pergales pries komunizma , kovojam su tom salim kurios 'neapsisprende' arba nori pasukt ne ta linkme. zudom. bet tai pateisinama, nes viskas vardan saugumo. renkames mazesni blogi. nugalim komunizma. atrandam terorizma. jie nekencia laisves todel nori mums pakenkti. atsitiktinai teroristai ypac megsta apsigyvent turtingose istekliais ar strategiskai issidesciuse valstybes kur mes turim verslo intersu ir musu ekonomika yra priklausoma. atsiranda terorizmo remeju musu salyje , bandom juos uztildyt, nes kalbedami jie tik padeda priesams.

ir t.t. ir t.t.

kodel rasiau kas karas=taika suprasi paziurejes ta filma. apie perasinejam istorija, siandienos priesai rytojaus sajungininkai ir t.t. o cia istrauka is izangis i 'amusing our live to death':

We were keeping our eye on 1984. When the year came
and the prophecy didn't, thoughtful Americans sang softly
in praise of themselves. The roots of liberal democracy had
held. Wherever else the terror had happened, we, at least,
had not been visited by Orwellian nightmares.

But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell's dark vision,
there was another - slightly older, slightly less well known,
equally chilling: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
Contrary to common belief even among the educated,
Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell
warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed
oppression. But in Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required
to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history.
As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to
adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books.
What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to
ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read
one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of
information. Huxley feared those who would give us so
much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism.
Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us.
Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of
irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive
culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture,
preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy
porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley
remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil
libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to
oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost
infinite appetite for distractions". In 1984, Huxley added,
people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New
World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short,
Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared
that what we love will ruin us.
