Fragile Existence

Published on January 29, 2010 in Culture, Politics and Solzhenitsyn. Closed

“Things have almost reached rock bottom. A universal spiritual death has already touched us all, and physical death will soon flare up and consume us both and our children–but as before we still smile in a cowardly way and mumble without tounges tied. But what can we do to stop it? We haven’t the strength? We have been so hopelessly dehumanized that for today’s modest ration of food we are willing to abandon all our principles, our souls, and all the efforts of our predecessors and all opportunities for our descendants – but just don’t disturb our fragile existence. We lack staunchness, pride and enthusiasm. We don’t even fear universal nuclear death, and we don’t fear a third world war. We have already taken refuge in the crevices. We just fear acts of civil courage.”

- Excerpt From The Essay: Live Not By Lies, by Alexander Solzhenitsyn

“To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented,forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed, and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.”

Evening Of Support For The Karen People

Published on January 28, 2010 in Culture, F.A., France, Karen, Politics and Zentropa. Closed

On January 19th, with the support of Project Apache, the Zentropa community organised an event to raise awareness about the cause of The Karen resistance. Around 40 people gathered along with 2 special guests: Franco Nerozzi, president of the humanitarian group Popoli, and journalist Gabriele Adinolfi. After showing a film introducing the situation of The Karen people and the actions pursued by Popoli towards these persecuted people, the speakers stressed the exemplary nature of this identitarian struggle.

Far from being an “exotic” cause, aid for The Karen people is a natural extension of anti-globalization and pro identity commitments. It is as much the occidental multinational corporations as it is the Burmese army, that starves and slaughters The Karen. The cause represents an obstacle for international finance. It represents a people who dare to stand against mercantile globalisation, while continuing to live according to their own values and laws.

Franco Nerozzi who travels to the Karen territory with members of his association twice a year, reminded everyone of the ethical strength of the Karen freedom fighters who refuse resorting to drug trafficking in order to finance their guerrilla warfare.

He then presented the future projects of his association, which consists of creating on-site agricultural villages which will enable The Karen to achieve autonomy and self-sufficiency. This ambitious project can only be realised thanks to the generosity of all those who are sensitive to the need of defending the plurality of the world, as well as the honour, of those people in struggle.

In conclusion, Gabriele Adinolfi talked ironically about all the major detractors of globalisation, who are incapable of investing themselves towards people in utter destitution and near-total isolation, who’ve been in armed struggle for years .

Following the presentations, thanks to the generosity of the participants, 770 Euros had been collected and given to Popoli.

After kind salutations the participants left, keeping in mind that this event is not the last, but on the contrary, the beginning of more action in support of the courageous Karen people.

The Impulse

Published on January 26, 2010 in Jack London, Literature and Politics. Closed

“The point really is that the mass of mankind is miserable, not for want of the wealth taken by the capitalist class, but for want of the wealth that was never created. This wealth was never created because the capitalist class managed too wastefully and irrationally. The capitalist class, blind and greedy, grasping madly, has not only not made the best of its management, but made the worst of it. It is a management prodigiously wasteful. This point cannot be emphasized too strongly. In short, so blind is the capitalist class that it does nothing to lengthen its lease of life, while it does everything to shorten it. The capitalist class offers nothing that is clean, noble, and alive. The revolutionists offer everything that is clean, noble, and alive. They offer service, unselfishness, sacrifice, martyrdom — the things that sting awake the imagination of the people, touching their hearts with the fervor that arises out of the impulse toward good and which is essentially religious in its nature.”
