Mexico’s Undead Rise Up | Inter Press Service
After Marcos disappeared into the night, the assembled then heard a disembodied voice address them: “Good dawn, compañeras and compañeros. My name is Galeano, Subcomandante Insurgente Galeano. Does anybody else respond to this name?”
In response, hundreds of voices affirmed, “Yes, we are all Galeano!” And so Galeano came back to life collectively, in all of those assembled.
And now 43 disappeared student teachers have multiplied into thousands demanding justice from the state and greater autonomy for local communities, which are already building alternative healthcare, education, justice, and governmental systems. A general strike is scheduled for the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution on November 20th.
In Mexico’s unraveling, there is an opportunity for the rest of the world to witness—and support—the emergence of more direct and collective forms of democracy. As the now “deceased” Marcos said: “They wanted to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.”

Of course it makes no sense to ask the military for ID, but the gesture is what matters — and the result is that nothing happens for an hour. The heavily armed soldiers sit up on their vehicles while García’s people and the self-proclaimed village police force with their hunting rifles stand on the ground around them. It is a perfect image of Mexico in November 2014. Everyone is armed, but it is totally unclear who has control.

motto:“Ceux qui prétendent avoir des croyances ou des convictions n’ont jamais rien approfondi…”(Émile-Michel Cioran)
Au cœur de la forêt tropicale humide, des milliers de plantes ont toujours “survécu”. Il y en a tellement qu’il est souvent difficile, voire impossible, pour certaines espèces à trouver même un petit coin. Un oiseau ou une chauve-souris vient d’atterrir sur une branche ou dans un tronc creux: à l’intérieur, une graine va germer assez rapidement et elle va donner vie à un petit figuier… Au tout début, il va développer des racines de plusieurs mètres, assez longues pour atteindre la terre rapidement, au pied du grand arbre. Une fois dans le sol, le figuier peut bien se nourrir et il va “accélérer” sa croissance. Ses racines grossissent, pendant que ses branches grandissent, le pauvre arbre est complètement entouré, étranglé et se transforme en l’indispensable “support-tuteur” pour le figuier – encore trop jeune pour rester…

Ebola: [New] Updated Charts
Last Update: 29 October 2014 [Charts]
Current Update: 19 November 2014 [Data Source]


A few notes:
1. On October 29, the WHO reported ~3500 new cases and thus, a tremendous spike in cumulative cases emerged (shown here). However, about 700 cases were retracted between October 31 and November 5 (likely due to reconciliation of multiple data sources). To smooth the cumulative case and lab-confirmation curves, data from October 29 and October 31 were not included…
2. However, data from these dates were included for the monthly epicurve. Because a large number of cases were added late last month and then retracted in early November, the number of new cases reported this month appears small compared to October. While it’s possible that growth of new cases is indeed slowing, ongoing data reconciliation may be the most significant driver of this phenomenon.
3. Fully-updated data for…

via LaVern Baker – Shake A Hand – YouTube. All around the world, peace is here to grab and save, if we will stand up and do so. Those who use fear, abuse, terror, force are in reality too few to stand against those who just wish to live their lives in peace with family, friends, and neighbors. Shine your light, stand with your brothers and sisters… Peace is in your hands.
