The Andalusians aNumber: reinventing Zeno's Paradox and the Tortoise.

Yes, after hearing the news following:

"The Court of Administrative 5, Sevilla trial held today fine imposed by a national police, which was sanctioned by the Guardia Civil for driving without a seatbelt in your car while chasing criminals. "

I imagine this renowned police defying laws of physics governing formula that relates the speed the time and space , and, as in the equally famous paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise, which turtle reaching the criminal police and the offender a swift Achilles, that yes, it would require time to waste it take to remove the seat belt, the After that time employee could emulate a infinitesimal and space travel could be considered hopelessly long as the movement is an illusion as well be deduced from Zeno's Paradox:

"If Achilles wants to catch a turtle that flies from him, must first get to where the tortoise was when Achilles started their march, but by then the tortoise will be a new position, which must also be achieved by Achilles before catching the tortoise. As this is repeated over and over again, without end, Achilles will not reach the tortoise. "

What I would also use the cruising speed of your car-not exceeded in any time of persecution the limit.

Things that happen in Andalucia.

"Either way, the concept of infinity is not infinite."

Mexico: Killings of immigrants

EACH YEAR ARE KIDNAPPED IMPUNITY 20,000 IMMIGRANTS. FEAR IS THE APPEARANCE OF GRAVES WITH HUNDREDS OF DEAD BODIES AND MORE tragedies like TAMAULIPAS, ZETAS ASSIGNED TO GOVERNMENT QUESTIONED IN A VERY VERSION

The number of homicides in Mexico came to 8,786 in the first eight months of the year, higher than the deaths recorded for 2009, according to Mexican newspaper Millennium. In his usual

record of crime in the country, the newspaper recalled that during the previous year the figure was 8,281 performances by the increase of organized crime. According

the Millennium count , August was the most violent month in the current Administration, having seen 1322 murders related to drug trafficking and overcome the previous month (July), when added 1234 cases.

Chihuahua, with 518 executions in the month just ended, got another lamentable record for that territory, to accumulate so far this year 3,145 deaths, equivalent to 35 percent of the national total. Sinaloa

also exceeded its own historical balance of monthly killings, these two states accounted for almost 60 percent of the narco-executions took place in August. According to the publication, violence in the north of the country, focuses on five areas, Chihuahua, Tamaulipas, Sonora, Nuevo León and Baja California.

ran organized crime in August to 91 women, 11 minors and six officials, among them the mayor of the municipality of Santiago, Nuevo León, Edelmiro Leal Cavazos and Marco Antonio Leal , Mayor of Hidalgo, Tamaulipas.

During the 31 days of August there were 49 police casualties: 27 city officials, 11 state and nine federal, two soldiers also died in the fighting to the underworld, according to the newspaper.

20,000 immigrants per year kidnappings

Several Mexican civil organizations reported that each year about 20,000 immigrants are kidnapped in Mexico by "criminal groups acting with impunity" , as with the slaughter that claimed the life of 72 'paperless' in the state of Tamaulipas .

That figure "is not a speculation" and is derived from reports prepared by the National Human Rights Commission, said at a news conference President the Citizen Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice (Ccspjp), José Antonio Ortega.

A statement read by Ortega and representatives of the White Movement and Social Network for a Mexico free of Addictions says "could be more cases like that of Tamaulipas, there could be dozens of mass graves and hundreds of bodies, both foreign and domestic migrants. "

The paper warns of "a real humanitarian crisis" in the country, affecting Mexicans and Central Americans "suffer the most diverse abuse "in transit to the U.S. border.

According Ortega, is called" train death "-a huge freight train passing through Mexico from south to north which traces this trail of abuse by requiring governors to be investigated all the states covered by his route, and the authorities of the National Migration Institute .

Ortega denied that the massacre was produced Tamaulipas after the victim refused to be recruited by Los Zetas, as claimed, according to authorities, the testimony of the sole survivor. Freddy Luis

Lala, an Ecuadorian who returned today to his country managed to notify the Marina after escaping from San Fernando ranch where they were massacred 72 Ecuadorians, Guatemalans, Salvadorans, Hondurans and Brazilians, of that forty have already been identified.

The event is part, said today these organizations in the joint statement, in the spiral of kidnappings that threatens those who pass through Mexico north, and is a kind of warning to criminal gangs seeking to take that trip .

"If you are hospitalized in Mexico they had better have someone who can pay their ransom " , sentenced, to which added that" if governments are unable to protect migrants, they are not able to do with nationals. "

Such partnerships described a scenario in which "Mexico flows swiftly to the status of failed state" , where the number of hostages killed this year could double the previous one.

According to data handled, drawn from official sources such as Attorney (Prosecutor ) General's Office, 163 Kidnap victims have been killed so far this year, while 2009 ended with 99 people killed in such circumstances.

attributed this rise to increasing numbers of criminal gangs who kidnap and stated that the 1,203 kidnapping victims killed since 1971, 37.41 percent died during the current administration of President Felipe Calderón .

Something similar happens with the alleged kidnapping, which, at the end of 2010-predicted-will be about 1,800, an amount by 193 percent greater than that recorded four years ago.

All this without having the data reported kidnappings, which, as explained, outweigh the other reported in states like Chihuahua, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Nuevo León and Veracruz.


the humanitarian disaster of the "paperless"

In recent years, thousands of Central American immigrants have gone to Mexico cross bound for U.S. , as reported civilian organizations.

The situation worsened in the past three years, when increased kidnappings of illegal immigrants by Mexican criminal gangs, says Edith Zavala , secretary of the National Forum for Migration in Honduras. "Many paid the extortion and did not know of his family. It is a humanitarian disaster that happens in Mexico " he says.

The number of immigrants who lost contact with their families is unknown. For example, a report from the House of Representatives Mexico states that 60,000 people disappeared between 1998 and 2008.

human rights organizations Central Americans to have documented several hundred cases, but say the real figure is higher.

In El Salvador, for example, an average of 300 people day trip to undertake United States without documents, most by land and across Mexico.

There is no record of how many immigrants are lost on the road, "says Perez Gilma of Human Rights Institute of the Universidad Centroamericana Jose Simeon Canas of El Salvador . " Many families do not register cases. They have little doubt that the complaint will make them appear again" he admits. Thus, cases that go to the authorities of Central are few compared to those that might exist. In El Salvador, for example, the International Police has 50 reports of missing migrants. And Honduras, one of the countries with the highest output of people in the region, there are 600 documented cases. Edith Zavala

of Honduras considers that and "it is time that the Central American governments to assume responsibility ... In Mexico there is a manhunt against the undocumented."

Tamaulipas, Mexico's black hole
By Daniela Pastrana-IPS

Tamaulipas has become the black hole of organized crime in Mexico. There is little record of accelerated social disintegration that border state living for six months as the local press is completely silenced.

"We have no choice, we simply have no choice," he told IPS by telephone, the correspondent of a national newspaper who asked his identity. Like others, this reporter refused to send their daily information about the murder of the mayor of Hidalgo, a small neighboring town of Ciudad Victoria, capital of the state located at the northeastern tip of Mexico. The

Mayor, Marco Antonio Leal García, was ambushed and killed on Sunday 29 in the afternoon, while traveling by car with her 10 year old daughter, who was wounded in the legs. Just on August 13 had been killed his predecessor as mayor, Cesareo Rocha Villanueva.

On Monday 30, Victoria City newspapers published obituaries of the mayor murdered, but no news of his death, because all the editors were threatened, allegedly by organized crime groups.

Tamaulipas is a state border just over three million inhabitants, with an area equivalent to the combined territories of El Salvador and Costa Rica. Shares a long border with Texas and has one of the main ports on the Gulf of Mexico, Tampico.

In that area of \u200b\u200bnortheast operate the Gulf drug cartel - which controls the border towns - and a violent organization known as Los Zetas, made up of military deserters who had been trained in combat and counterinsurgency techniques by U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Intelligence Agency (CIA).

"The original Zetas began running selected targets with military efficiency and economy of bullets," he told IPS Jorge Luis Sierra, a journalist specializing in security and militarization.

"But after the excesses began, and now Los Zetas are not the old soldiers, deserters, but units mixing civilians, police, former soldiers and gunmen from other bands, who play three strategies together: they act as drug dealers and terrorists and guerrillas at the same time, "he added.

The assassination of Mayor Garcia Leal preceded a weekend very violent, with explosions in the cities of Reynosa and Tampico, and the explosion of a car bomb outside the premises of Televisa Victoria, on Friday 27 dawned with its signal off.

On Sunday there was a clash over nine hours between soldiers and criminals in the region Pánuco southern border of Tamaulipas, which was registered by users of the Twitter network.

They are not the only cases, nor the worst. Six days before the July elections, was murdered in the front-runner for governor, Rodolfo Torre Cantú, the Institutional Revolutionary Party. And just last week, members of the Navy found on a ranch in the municipality of San Fernando the massacred bodies of 72 immigrants, presumably, for refusing to work for the Zetas.

From murder of immigrants, "there are several interpretations: one is that Los Zetas are the most brutal and violent than we know, two, that they may have been detected, and killed them all before you leave the place, and three that another group has committed the action and it has been assigned to The Zetas to exterminate them from the area, "he surmised Sierra.

Los Zetas, he said, never claimed their shares. The" communications policy "is the act itself. Instead, your enemies are using psychological warfare tactics such as car bombs. In this sense, "killing 72 immigrants and attributed to The Zetas may be an act of propaganda and part of a strategy of psychological warfare," he said.

Anyway, Los Zetas years ago found a gold mine in kidnapping undocumented.

According to official figures, about 22,000 people in Central and South America each year across this country without permit and at least half are extorted and placed in the dilemma of joining the ranks of Los Zetas or pay for their release and continue their journey to America.

The National Human Rights Commission says that each month were kidnapped about 1,600 immigrants.

At the opening of a forum on human trafficking in Mexico City, the federal MP Rosie Orozco said the market for this crime represents one of the three main sources of income for organized crime and "has grown in most state, becoming a national security issue. "

While this is true throughout the country rages on in the "Border Girl" in Tamaulipas, a strip of counties in the northwestern state is key to the drug trade and where they dispute the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, who joined recently - according to testimony from people - the Sinaloa Cartel, led by "El Chapo" Guzman Loera Joaquín.

"There's an amazing failure of intelligence" in the entire security apparatus, "especially considering that this was not the first case of illegal mass kidnapping", questioned Sierra. "How is it possible that organized crime has been kidnapped and killed 72 immigrants without military intelligence has detected what?".

The worst case scenario is that these territories ungovernable expand more and achieve "strategic points: facilities oil, financial areas, government offices, large concentrations of people, "he said. None of it is discarded.

What cynicism to the tragedy

By Ana María Aragonés (*)

The killing of 72 migrants from Central and South America, allegedly killed by members of Los Zetas, which were discovered by another migrant who escaped the slaughter because they believed he was dead, and not because the authorities had been mindful of its responsibility, we are filled with great anger when Felipe Calderón said that this because "the cartel Los Zetas are resorting to extortion and kidnapping of migrants as a means of funding and recruitment." And worse still when the new security cabinet spokesman, Alejandro Poire, states that this occurs in the context of "a violent and extremely bloody fight between the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, which has brought a substantial increase in violence the Northeast. " That is, the government is doing so well that these organizations are facing a very adverse to supply resources and to recruit volunteers.

What kinds of explanations are those that, despite all the evidence, still foolishly arguing that the drug war is declining to the cartels. And if so, then why not put them behind bars since they no longer have the resources, rather than the abduction and rape of women? Who can believe that these cartels are economically depleted when the reality is that the lack of absolute authority and lawlessness in the country is allowed to organized crime not only the traffic of drugs, but expanding its criminal chain with absolute impunity and corruption.
This situation lacerations to the entire Mexican population is even worse for immigrants, since it is the most vulnerable group, as we tirelessly denounced in this medium, because undocumented workers. Why Mexico is doing the dirty work for the U.S. southern border, making the damn border as many have named? Why to Mexico, Mexicans in the U.S. are workers, not criminals and they must also be granted amnesty, legalized? What is the difference between Latin American undocumented migrants, if they also look the same as Mexicans? Why not treat them as one would like to be treated the Mexicans? How can state government has an active policy of promotion and respect of human rights of this group country vulnerable when permanently violate international treaties? How are you going to justify what happened to these migrants to the governments of their countries? It is not enough empty words such as Poire when asked unanimous condemnation of society and the authorities of what happened. Pure cynicism.

Unfortunately what happened to the migrants in our country is not new, as noted in a major study National Commission of Human Rights in 2006, and as role models have been reported which are in front of several houses for migrant and only found, at best, indifference of the authorities, if not attacks front.

not only undocumented immigrants but the Mexican population is exposed to the horrors known as a result of a war on a totally perverse argument supports the government by pointing out that some would like not to do anything. No, Mr. Calderón, this is a false argument for not accepting that the aim is to change a strategy that is leading the country into the red pages around the world.

forums in recent days to discuss national security issues were of no avail, because you do not listen to the experts who are tired of offering proposals that have been successful in the world and you refuse to launch. You, Mr. Calderón, continues its senseless war, putting the military on the streets, which are other functions and thus the constant violations of human rights that have been documented, supporting the possibility of a single police force but have not set bodies shielded against the corruption that abounds at the moment between them.

we also can not fall into cynicism and indifference. You have to push for the government to accept responsibility and act accordingly, and thus prevent further committing gross human rights violations that put Mexico as a disgrace to international opinion and promote suffering endless.

José Manuel Zelaya Letter to the Honduran working class

the desk of former President José Manuel Zelaya Rosales General Coordinator FNRP


Partners (as) Workers Honduras:

Me am writing to give them strength and encouragement at this time, the levels of brutality of the regime, can only be compared with the desperate race to have to deliver all assets of the Honduran transnational capital and local representatives.

In the history our country never experienced a more difficult situation, and we had to confront the insatiable greed of a few, now reveal without reservation before our eyes and strange.

The defenseless of our population against the repressive forces is palpable fear that unite to defeat them.

victims of repression in the coup, as the receiver beatings and torture, are now subjected to embarrassing trials, which have no legal reason, but if they express the arbitrariness and barbarism that prevail today in the Honduran institutions.

wish to express my appreciation to the partners committed to human rights by their status as true representatives of justice in Honduras.
For now, the government of Porfirio Lobo, by order of the oligarchy, only seeks to avert teachers' unit and the labor movement, which looks in their eyes as the force that must dismantle all costs.

The current situation, although still remains uncertain, should result in the UNITY of all social forces, we must the safety of workers each day, the countryside and the city focus its efforts on the unit and the organization to combine step by step the positions of all sectors deal with this struggle and the struggles to come.

demands to create unity and popular support should not be shy, be bold and clear against the urgent need to improve people's living conditions.

Considering the poor level of commitment that this government has with the social sectors, it must be vital, forceful and outspoken in demanding the popular classes and give no space under the working-class struggle.

Teachers in struggle, must have full support, to overcome the disdain with which they are treated and claims priority should be an integral part of the claims.

The minimum wage for workers is merited and should be appropriate to the cost of basic food basket ranging on average between L and L 6600.00 6 900. 00 monthly

is not a gift, what we need. We demand what rightfully belongs to the working class.
This year should be debt including maquila and commitment to them.

should make a general appeal to the working class, farmers, across the country, especially the low aguan in intense fighting and uneven. Call to integrate
the sectors neglected for centuries indigenous rights, Garifuna, Miskito, women, LGBT and all marginalized sectors that may escape my memory at this difficult time.
All events clearly show us a scheme in which it is imposed by all means fear and division of all the forces of political and social opposition in order to break the resistance. Today

back all laws, decrees, regulations and measures they take to benefit the people. Measures that often meant clashes with the oligarchy that always insists on charging people regardless of the levels of Neo slavery and poverty.

Access to basic services, today almost all privatized banking system to credit at low interest rates for farmers to lower the cost of living, medicine, health, education must be considered in the proposals.

The violent outcome and implementation of strong fist for men and kid gloves for the coup and the oligarchy, is the worst of the paths he has chosen the current system, every day people are more rejection.

peers, the moment requires a great deal of effort and progress for the organization; The journey is the unbreakable unity of working men and women primarily, about the National Front Popular Resistance.

elite often mistakenly believe that employees are only those of us who marched in demonstrations, workers are those that we deliver our work force and wages and other compensation in most of the time or in domestic work is recognize us.

For this reason, it is important to understand that the popular movement is a whole, the working class, employed, unemployed person, sub used in the countryside and the city should feel unified, identified in this fight.

I invite you to participate, associated with firmness and conviction, I'm sure convinced that victory is in our hands, but let's our the uncertain future dominated by the arbitrariness with which we are governed, our mind takes over.

A ruling class, we say: you are wrong because they want to, never losing the right to water, work and life and the rights that belong to us.

although we will not allow outsourcing and want to impose the conference time or we manage the sectors that have proven to betray the people.

are thousands and thousands who have no work, we sell products under one-sided interest loans, which are victims of violence, injustice, corruption and impunity, those who suffer persecution vile system judicial abject and cowardly, who remain in exile by force of guns murderers, we are all one people, and we're all going today with the workers and especially workers with teacher education, to paraphrase when talking MORAZAN conservatives.

"You talk to enemies of freedom ... .. These people you are trying to vilify your lies will soon be your judge."

WORKERS OF MY LAND.
