The trial of alleged Nazi war criminal John Demjanjuk, began in Munich, this Monday, 30 November 2009, is accused of complicity in the deaths of nearly 28,000 Jews in the Polish concentration camp of Sobibor, during the 2nd War World.

The accused against John Demjanjuk, is that he was  one of the guards at Sobibor concentration camp.
Also  that his true identity is Ivan ” the Terrible”, one of the most wanted war criminals for all these years.

Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles says : “We should not make the mistake of thinking that the case against a war criminal is a case against of only one man”

John Demjanjuk, of Ukrainian origin, has lived the last years in the United States, where he was deported from in late May 2009, to Germany to face this trial as a suspected war criminal.
Before the trial, was passed by a medical board to see if he was able to face this criminal process, due to their age and several medical conditions he has, the Medical Board ruled that  he could face the process because even he is ill hes is mentally fine, although his presence in court is subject to 90 minute sessions to avoid draining.

At the time of deportation, John Demjanjuk, was in the top 10 list of most war crimes suspects wanted by the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

According to what we know, John Demjanjuk, was recruited by the Soviets in 1941, and after he was captured by Nazi forces he turned into security guard at the concentration camps of Nazi rule of the Third Reich, where he is remembered most is in the Polish camp of Sobibor, which states that introduced the power to men, women and children into the gas chambers.

JOSE “PEPE” MUJICA A FORMER GUERRILLA LEADER ELECTED PRESIDENT OF URUGUAY

FORMER MARXIST TUPAMAROS GUERRILLA FIGHTER JOSE “PEPE” MUJICA WINS THIS 2010 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN URUGUAY

A new president will take office in March 2010, emerged from this second round of elections in Uruguay, the Frente Amplio candidate, Jose “Pepe” Mujica and Vice President Danilo Astori, won the second round.

The speeches given after the voting results were very moderate and above all sought to quiet the waters of the confrontation which occurred during the political campaign for president of Uruguay.

Both sides, the formula Mujica and Astori, winner of the presidency and vice presidency respectively as their opponents Lacalle and Larranaga, sought to strengthen the concept of unity, as was said Mujica is now the president of all Uruguayans and as such should work as a unit for the country and its people.

In Mujica, owns words, “neither victors nor vanquished: just choose a government that owns the truth, which requires us all.”
“If at any time my temperament a fighter made me carry the tongue too far, I apologize for the offense and tomorrow we will walk together”

All candidates who were both in the first round of voting which took in October in 2009, Bordaberry by the Colorado party which joined in battled in the runoff, Mujica – Astori and Lacalle – Larrañaga, spoke of unity, a commitment to work together for the country.
A day of precedent civic example, where the only problem was the weather, flooded parts of the country, as well as an orange alert weather, the other quiet and above all, respecting freedom and democracy.

About 46 years ago, since the same Jose Mujica, faced with the weapons of democracy, because he said he not believe in it, and wanted to take power by force by the guerrilla group Tupamaros ( insurgency group Tupamaros), today the people and democracy, as chosen, according to this by himself, taught him that life is the people who decide not weapons.

It is the first guerrilla leader who became president of Uruguay, said that the years teach and suffering as well, I hope so and that the new president of Uruguay, and also my president has learned from its passage through the arms, wanting to overthrow the democracy in the decade of the 70s and his stay in jail and suffering of torture.

Today the citizenship, which once irreverence, to take up arms against democracy, elected him president, and gives him the opportunity to amend many of its past mistakes and always keep in mind the words of our national hero Jose Gervacio Artigas,

“My authority emanates from you and stops your sovereign presence,” The people, who gives democracy presidential power and as such should be respected, and that sovereignty resides in the people.

I hope that these words said by our founding fathers will be always be present in today elected president of all Uruguayans, by the sovereign power of the vote in a country like Uruguay where democracy is present and let stay alive.

Now to continue working for the country, all united, who voted for and against President-elect Mujica, we’re all in Uruguay and as such we must work for the country ,and all of us, we have make this country become better and the unique differents are given by the efforts of each of the citizens put in improvement, exceeded as a human being, as a worker, as a citizen.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN LATIN AMERICA: HONDURAS AND URUGUAY

Today in two countries of Latin American presidential elections are held: the second round “runoff “in Uruguay between Jose “Pepe “Mujica (former Tupamaro, former guerrilla, a participant in the epoch of the Tupamaros of bank robberies, assassinations, kidnappings and Luis Alberto “Cuqui” Lacalle (Uruguay’s former president in charge of the bankruptcy of one of the largest banks in an economic situation that almost destroyed the country with the subsequent suicide of several people) and on the other hand there is the situation in Honduras where brethren to Manuel Zelaya are asking people not to go to vote, because that Zelaya was expelled from the presidency through a coup d’etat to get him out of the chair one night expelled to Costa Rica and now a refugee in the embassy of Brazil in Honduras, Roberto Micheletti supporting that until a few days had been in power since the deposition of Zelaya, who look forward to these new elections to have a president elected by the people, the international community to react to the coup demanding the return to power of Zelaya but timidly that currently says “that will recognize the new president of Honduras, where the turnout in Honduras shows that the public took to the polls significantly”

in the situation of Honduras, there are some frays calls warning of bombs, the explosion of a bomb, and a population that simima not know what to expect and the reality is that anger afraid to throw on Sunday.

In the case of Honduras, democracy is being violated, because the right to vote is being jeopardized by attacks, with the possibility of retaliation if it is exercised and whether or not they subsequently be respected, if accepted to an elite who is chosen as president.
In Uruguay, the most right now are flooding concerns due to heavy rains in recent days, but democracy itself is to be exercised freely, without fear, without warning, without the possibility of anyone can be detained for going to vote.

As Uruguayan, and being that this year I will vote no because I do not agree with either candidate and in my opinion not that of the two may be better because if I’m honest, both candidates leave much to be desired and its past sentence, I’m proud of my country’s civic capacity.
I wish the brotherly people of Honduras, can return to resume their civic path, its path to democracy, without fear, with the freedom that we have the right to exercise them.

We will see who will from today, after the counting of votes will hold the Presidency in both Uruguay and Honduras, but in both cases, those who are elected, aware that the “power resides in the people”, the people is the supply to them, but it is the people who chose, and not forget what they say in political campaigns, let so much rhetoric, and knowing it is all talk, but do the people seeking , that the country better, and grow, be built, and go in search of prosperity always keeping ahead of democracy, freedoms of citizens, freedom of the people who elected them.

NEW RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT BREAST CANCER

In a meeting of medical experts appointed by the U.S. government (the group is call prevenitive exams force ), without cancer doctors present, provides a new way of dealing with breast cancer, a new form in time which should make mammograms and self-examination breasts.

* It states that it was undesirable that physicians teach patients to become self breast exam, because according to this group of physicians, no good, not too useful.
They say breast self-examination leading to breast cancer are false.

* The other resolution is that mammograms, they should be after 50 years and every two years (at the present time is from 40 years and yearly) in many countries because of this the mammograms from age 40 years are free or are covered by medical insurance as the pap smear.

The question now is because this change is due to high medical costs and insurance plans, including the free mammogram after age 40, is due to the health of these new patients or medical advice is to save money no matter patient health.

And if a false positivity in breast self-examination, that matter is nothing more important to prevent breast cancer, to diagnose when the patient has no solution or a way to avoid death.

Breast cancer is one of the cancers, which discovered in time, is more likely to be cured or at least prevent it from spreading.

With these new medical advice, the only thing that can be saved is money, especially for insurers, but for the patient, passing, do not mind the subsequent mutilation of the women that I have been warned, do not mind the death of these women to save women.

About 39 million women undergo mammography every year in the U.S., which means a cost of more than 5,000 million for the health system in this country.

It sought to save that, it would save money without MATTER IF WOMEN HAVE CANCER OR BE PREVENTED.

The most ridiculous of all, that this meeting was not represented medica Cancer Society, who recommend:
* Annual mammogram after age 40
* And self-examination in the shower after a period of at least once a month.

It is a shame, that in pursuit of saving money on mammograms, biopsies and other clinical examinations, these recommendations are published regardless of people’s lives, that world is this, that physician may consider more money for the patient, they forget the Hippocratic oath.

“… In any house that between, go for the benefit of the sick, refraining from any voluntary error and corruption …”

What is the meaning of the medical profession when a group of physicians, not preach prevention of disease.

CELEBRATION OF 20 YEARS OF THE FALL OF BERLIN WALL

1000 domino pieces were the symbol of the Berlin Wall came down – the first piece pushed by Lech Walesa, a symbol of the struggle against communism in Poland, chairman of the Solidarity movement that under all a time, suffered persecution, the death of many of his compatriots, colleagues, friends, family, becoming president of Poland to democracy.

Symbol also, that Poland, Chescolovaquia, Hungary, were the first to say no more to the communist regime, and were the trigger for the East Germans themselves, and especially Berlin encourage more, be encouraged to take to the streets without violence “The peaceful revolution,” saying we can leave our country without fear of arrest, to be killed, we want democracy, we can decide ourselves, we can do it and not need a government to decide for us, when in Leipzig, Alexander Square, in the church of San Nicolas (where the first congregation was performed against the wall in Berlin on 4 September 1989 and started the peaceful revolution that would end with the fall of the Berlin Wall), where candlelight swept the streets thousands of Germans calling for the opening of the Berlin Wall, even knowing that the East German army had orders to shoot them.

The courage, the desire for freedom, the desire to express were stronger, were a sign that people still want to gag when not achieved, that sooner or later, the desire to express what they feel is bigger

THE FALL OF BERLIN WALL

20 YEARS FOR THE CHANGE OF THE WORLD
THE END OF THE SYMBOL OF THE COLD WAR

It was the separation of the two Germanys after the Second World War ended and the way that great powers are winning the war divieron to Europe, with the desire that all were satisfied.

It was the night of 9 November 1989, after months of March, the German people to demonstrate their nonconformity, the authorities had to listen to the people, and open the borders in her Berlin Wall.

The story of the fall of the Berlin wall, in pictures, the time has arrived after that on 13 August 1961, was lifted this separation between the two Germanies.

The people of East Germany, were like little children, who sought only to go see a window that toy as expected, most return to what was East Germany, just wanted to cross these checkpoints, crossing the street, that the separated from the west, separating him from his family, their families, which separated from the other part of Germany, laughter, tears, surprise, printing, he had the other side, who had the other side of the wall, and waiting on the other side there was 30 years faces toward unseen, had grandparents who had never seen their grandchildren, there was joy, welcome, had a street as they had other Germans.

It was the crossing be free to cross a street to be also in Germany, in their country, cross over and see the other side, which was secrecy, concealment, a tell so far, if they cross are deserters, and now age are free, are free, are free to cross and return without it means prison or death.

It was for the East German know that was a man, free woman who had the same rights as any citizen of the world to cross the borders of their country, without retaliation.

They had won their fight from immemorial years, since the construction of the wall from before when he felt the cold war, when he had finished the second world war when, after the insane madness of Hitler, to the great Germany, had destroyed the country, generating millions of deaths, destruction of the homelands they claimed to love and want to enlarge.

THE BERLIN WALL A SHAME OF THE COLD WAR.

SPREAD A NATION, FAMILY, CULTURE.
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY NOT RESPECT TO HUMANS OR THEIR CITIZENS.
THE INDIGNITY OF WHO BELIEVED THAT IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND FORGOT ALL THE PEOPLE,  THE CITIZENS ARE THE REALLY BOSS, THEY ARE WHO GIVES THE POWER TO THE GOVERN AND WORTHY OF BE RESPECT.

The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer), known as “Anti-Fascist Protection Wall” (Antifaschistische Schutzwall) by the communist German Democratic Republic, sometimes known as “Wall of Shame” by the Western public opinion.

It was  built in  August 13, 1961 until 9 November 1989 spread to West Germany (West Germany Republic) and  East Germany until that year.

The  extention was 45 miles from Berlin city divided in two and 115 miles between the western part of the city of the territory of the GDR.

The Berlin Wall, the symbol of the Cold War implies the existence of the spies, led to movies, books, research, secrets, lies, neighbors spying on each other but which means more than anything was the separation of whole families, that a morning on rising, found that the wall was being built and houses were divided into two families that lived face to face were separated by a wall, and that during the years of the existence of the Berlin Wall would cease to be seen, the separation of children from parents who suddenly that day had stayed in a relative’s house, waking the next day could not go home, leaving grandparents to see their grandchildren, families lived in one street and other children and this madness of invasion, war, power, left separated by more than 30 years.

A shame for humanity.

On the night of 12 to 13 August 1961, without warning the whole wall was built, it was simply  built on August 13 a small part heavily guarded by

TRAFFICKING OF WEAPONS FROM URUGUAY TO BRAZIL

Sometimes tragic events are used by politicians to seek political mileage, I at least do not find meaning in it, not think about the pain of the families, friends, work colleagues, the lives that are lost.

This has happened in Uruguay, during the political campaign, in the runoff, which will be held on 29 November between two opposing visions, from the right formula comprised of white party Luis Lacalle and Jorge Larranaga and in the other corner, representing the Broad Front, currently in power, with groups from the socialist left as the most ultra-left groups that shaped the urban guerrilla Tupamaros, with the formula for Jose “Pepe” Mujica y Danilo Astori.

It happens in a house fire, that there would be nothing surprising, so the police sent a police man and a woman police to tell the landlord what had happened was right, had to give notice, but Here comes the tragedy, the police never imagining that the owner of that house accountant Saul Feldam , had much to hide, knocks on the door when they open the door and tells him what happened, the counter Feldman enters his house and fired from within against the police, who died while being taken to the police hospital.
that entrenchment occurs counter Saul Feldman, who for hours against the police firing, the geo panel that when he felt that he was hurt Feldman entered to see him and Feldman was dead by the time the police are about geo group shoots and kills him.

Towards the hours passed the day, with the hidden population to hurt them no bullet, police, geo group, military group attacked the house, throwing tear gas, which no one knew is that the morphine was injected Feldman which also allows you to put up with him suddenly heridasy also lose some of their mental capabilities at the time when injected continuously.

Accountant Saul Feldman, was in terminal stage of cancer, so he did not have much to lose, his death was assured, so resisted until a police bullet or by his own hand, not yet have confirmation,  conclude with his life.

But the most amazing was when the police entered, they had never imagined what they would find an arsenal of weapons, some 600 weapons of various types from FAL, AK47 and pistols Glok, also propelled grenades and rockets, also grenades, handguns, explosives military kevlar vests and gas masks, which are presumed to be those used in the war on drug trafficking in the Brazilian favelas.
Also found gold bullion, which is the way that drug traffickers pay the weapons are bought on the black market.

THE RESULTS OF VOTING POLLS IN URUGUAY

Uruguayan voting has ended with a new spin on 29 November 2009, the Frente Amplio has lost some of its members and did not get the 50% plus one he needed in the first round to achieve the presidency, they get only the 47%, according to political analysts, the reason the Frente Amplio lose votes, is that many people who vote for the Frente Amplio party, do not accept that the presidency be a former Tupamaro as Jose Mujica, which means the far left.
Meanwhile, the White Party, with the formula de Lacalle and Larranaga, reached 30%, compared with previous elections and the predictions of political polls, also lost votes because in the previous election had reached 36%, while the Colorado Party was the big winner, with the formula for Bordaberry and De Leon, managed to raise the meager votes that had been made at the last election, 10% to this year 2009 to reach 18%.

The formula consists of Bordaberry – De Leon, and said to back the white party in the November runoff, which if you add the two figures come to 49% may exceed the Broad Front or making the next election is much more tight, making the votes of the undecided or those who voted in this election on October 25 to other parties as an independent party, have to make a difference who wins.

In the runoff “ballotage”, the votes will be made of a simple majority to win the presidency of Uruguay.

As for the plebiscite, neither approved nor rejecting the application of the law of impunity for the military or the plebiscite ballot to make it possible for Uruguayans abroad to vote (voto letters).

In November 2009, finally we will decide who the next president of the Uruguayans.
