How To Make Truck Side Rails

Selling fear risk: children in the war against narco

Although official rhetoric of President Calderon now renaming their "strategy", it is clear that in the few days ago called "war" against drug trafficking has not worked: the drug continues to flow, no no withdrawal from organized groups, however, and, increasingly accumulating data indicate that among the many side effects of narco empowerment, highlights the increasingly clear participation and involvement of young people either as victims or victimizers. According to the journalist Daniela Rea Reforma , who agreed to by Federal Law of Transparency and Access to Information, I checked carefully for an interview I did, "participation" real or manufactured minors in the criminal chain has been linked to drug trafficking increasing since 2006. The report
SEDENA delivery is clearly seen that the 5 main reasons leading to the arrest of juveniles are drug crimes, organized crime, robbery, kidnapping and violation of federal law of firearms and explosives . Ranging in age ranging from 13 to 17 years, the states with a larger number of juveniles detained by the army, according to its own report are Guerrero, Veracruz and Baja California, three states where operations against drug trafficking are emblematic of the "strategy" Calderon. The drug not only reach young people, but takes them in a difficult return journey. Something is wrong with the calculations, something is not functioning in everyday actions, something that does not meet or rhetoric, and pricked the faces of those responsible for national security.
On the other hand, the PGR data, noted for example that in 2009, the main reasons for the detention of juveniles involved in drug trafficking, are trade (61 cases) and possession (582). Undoubtedly have to see how many of these cases have been tested and many have been making fast track of responsibilities, would lack clear information on what is considered possession. But beyond the critical distance to these legal criteria, the data is that the drug reached, the drug is there. Then one of the pillars that support the war, now fight for security, "that the drug does not reach your children" collapses before the evidence of official numbers themselves, who can not convince me, because my young child count that are involved in drug issues are more (no data on Chihuahua, where the so-called gang raids, are our daily bread.)
Another phenomenon that has caught my attention is the creation of intergenerational criminal cells, for example in a cell of 7 or 8 individuals captured, the age composition is more or less like this: three subjects over 35 years, a greater than 45 and rest under 23, with members who do not reach 18. This is a very important figure, as it is showing that the relationship with these worlds paralegals (paralegals call the social, economic, political and cultural set up by the drug trade, governed by its own norms and values) can not be understood from a single logic, much less serve to make young people a reason for criminalization, scapegoats for the failure of this war-fighting that is blind to the economic / cultural make up these parallel worlds.
The drug came to stay as currency and survival for many sectors of the population, because for example, criminal groups (especially the Gulf Cartel and Sinaloa), changed the system of payments for protection, rather to pay bills, paid with merchandise. This is a phenomenon studied in the mid-nineties in the neighborhoods of Guadalajara (not something new, as you think or make you believe President Calderon), community policing is full of merchandise and had to give out, what better strategy to recruit to the youth of the bands to use as small distributors. In the hot summer of 1993, entire neighborhoods were covered with white snow. The spiral continued and organized groups were able to see in those small local markets (consolidated and stable) an interesting and attractive fringe, are now trying to take control of these small territories with fire and sword, at the point of decapitation and exemplary punishments for narcomenudistas.
The issue is complex, dynamic with many actors. A frontal attack against professionalized cells (if I may say so) is totally inadequate, if not simultaneously serve the local dynamics of these small markets, characterized by poverty, neglect and lack of state. What has happened in my view, which does not collect statistics is the growth of a brutal neo-liberal logic that sends the youngest in a race for self-subsistence "business", but instead of "little shop and the beetle" as Fox suggested cheerfully, the axes of the micro-enterprises were others.
For every young or less "locked" using the language of the Navy Department, emerge ten, fifteen, twenty, ready to self-procure the necessary safeguards for the day after, though aware of the costs, many young people only can sell in a collapsing economy, in a political system in which everything seems to be worth, is risky, as my good friend José Antonio Pérez Islas. Our young sell risk and no actors willing to pay that "good" at prices that are attractive when the alternative is to live apart from the most basic satisfactions. It is also true and that is worrying that among the three youths arrested in 1600 or "secured" so far of this administration, whose legal processes do not know (live at Mothers, fathers, wives or husbands, brothers , children, the vulnerability to the surface), there may be a number of "crimes Porting face "of police reprisals, the required quota of duty. Young people have been in this country a sector which pass the bills.
I have more questions than answers, but I made sure to build in these years of trying to understand the phenomenon: those who are bearing the brunt of this insane and failed war / struggle are young, they and them, excluded or included unevenly First, the cannon fodder of Tyre and the Trojans, are the great army that not only lost but lost for the purposes of future history.

Stouffer Outlet Store Solon Ohio Hrs

case of Monsivais, "click" Monsi




Monsi Being, we are legion who have a first-person story to tell: in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, New York, but also in Germany, in Spain, France, in all that wide and long transited map Monsivais relentlessly. That speaks a lot about him, his generosity sity, as having a "secret", a joke, a serious and sustained conversation, a wonder, a passion shared with each of one and one of those who were lucky be not only friends but their partners on several fronts, places and pursuits. Although fails to amaze me, I find it exciting that the heart and ideas Monsivais protein have that capacity, intellectual, critic, activist, Farandulera, collector and irreverent questioning of traditions while exemplary memory.

Monsi
's legacy is widespread and no one can claim the monopoly of their knowledge and their intellectual feats, perhaps that is its greatest asset, never sought to have disciples, groupies or much less, although he loved, in that gesture "child", as his own, known known, loved and admired. It is curious that he is constantly saying that he would not like to be a teacher, who scolded me constantly in my teaching work (takes away time for writing, do not key "Prudence," he said, referring to Prudence Griffel, the actress who is the quintessential "Mexican grandmother"), is recognized by so many by so many - myself among these-as a case teacher. And, I see it now, Monsi had that rare quality of teaching fast track, yet he was a machine, a training device. Everything about it conspired to those around him drew on his infinite wisdom.

Carlos Monsivais despite himself, was a full-time teacher reluctantly and sometimes those rumble, emitting unintelligible when asked something, took charge of the "monsters" that his knowledge prohijaba. It was not at all paternal, erysipelas gave expressions of affection, she ran and slipped out of the situations that were uncomfortable and he was a swordsman with the language, when something or someone, we clashed. Nevertheless, his generosity with which he considered "his", the owner did have the protective mantle cat lovers: they turn a blind eye but are vigilant for the welfare of the litters.
Review
my years of friendship with him. Review phone calls (stressful because beyond the issue "official" calls us) in which I did not Monsivais respite, and read a guy, what happened to the University of Guadalajara, your student's thesis that gays in Colima , end?; saw the catalog of this exhibition, a barrage of cross-references that were so illustrative and amusing, confrontational and distressing. Review our intermittent but intense encounters in the country, outside the country, walking for Bogota, New York, Buenos Aires and I find that logic was the same: an aerobic exercise with an enormous intellectual capacity to challenge the smallest of my neurons and laughter so intense that caused tears. But I confess that, above all, cherish our email conversations (is an advantage and a disadvantage not having lived in the same city), much more restful, but equally urgent, "perhaps because that Monsi" writing "gave me the space to imagine my response, compared to any verbal quickly pales. In times of "situation", e-raged and we found (sorry for including it, he is not to deny it) a "style" of communication in which we talk about humor, about the different emergencies and urgencies of the country, in Latin America. Thus arose the joke of "The Cassandra Collective:" The catastrophe will prove us right, "he would decir.Éramos a group of two. Casandra

agreed to the gift of prophecy, transacting with Apollo, but "when he agreed to the secrets of divination, he rejected the love of god, he, looking betrayed, cursed spitting in the mouth: still have his gift, but nobody would ever believe in their forecasts. Some time later, to his repeated announcement of the imminent fall of Troy, no citizen gave credence to their predictions. "

yes I'm not prepared me for his death. I remember how we laughed with Jezreel and other young writers of the Centaurs (private police hired by the International Book Fair of Guadalajara), when after the launch of "The Essential awareness, coordinated by the same Jezreel, in December 2009 . Monsi out by young punks and scholastic anarkopunks security shirts carrying the name of "The Searchers." We saw him go laughing, we realized the hugs goodbye, we recognized in our heritage monsivarita. I, as he left the IDF, was smiling: Click Monsi, just him, I thought, surrounded by a team that surely postmodern Searchers were recruited in the last post punk concert. I wanted, now I know, ignore the signs, the signs of his imminent departure. Click Monsi.


It is at its worst, it leaves a difficult task. A country at the end of violence, the worst crisis of credibility facing the political system, a poverty that borders on pornography, which impunity can not afford the name. Fear, hopelessness, uncertainty. Many

"insult" that gave me: stressed here the last: what time are you going to take your place in the space of Mexican critics, Prudence, I said, your country is your trip, he said, returns to press, he said. But I Monsi, with respect, I do not belong in the pages of the mainstream media. That is not, Monsi, dear, where the country we want is brewing. You were the last public intellectual in this country. You place is irreplaceable. Others, the Legion, the tribe Monsivarita, must find its own space of enunciation. And you will be missed.


Sea.

Human Rights: unpunished crimes







The 2010 Report of Amnesty International, The State of human rights in the world, contains valuable information to try to develop a comparative map of the most sensitive issues and areas around human rights. In the case of Mexico, noted that the country was arrested and deported more than 60 000 illegal migrants, mainly Central Americans trying to reach the United States. In July 2009, the report cites the National Human Rights Commission estimated that up to 10 000 migrants could have been kidnapped. "The government initiatives have been totally inadequate," said Amnesty and a figure that is overwhelming, it is said that in January 2009, near San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas, police shot and killed three and injured illegal immigrants several others during a chase to the car they were riding. Closing the report, had not yet finished with the trial of the officers involved.
The section dedicated to the United States, erecting a champion democracy and human rights could not be more worrisome. Amnesty notes that the period covered by the report 47 people died after being subdued by police Taser discharge. These "incidents", including three unarmed young and involved in minor incidents. Another fact, in the maximum security prison at Tamms (Illinois), dozens of prisoners were held 23 hours a day in solitary confinement for a period of ten years or more. About the death penalty, 52 people were executed.
In Spain, the situation is very different, were presented 230 complaints of torture and ill-treatment by officials responsible for enforcing the law. In February, it was announced by police unions, which in many communities, the police received orders to meet a monthly quota of arrests of illegal immigrants. In December 2008, the High Court ruled that it lacked jurisdiction to investigate cases of disappearances dating from the English Civil War and the early years of the Franco regime, sent, therefore, 114 266 suspected cases of enforced disappearance to 43 tried in the locations where mass graves were found. 13 such court cases classified as "crimes." What followed, after the intervention of Judge Garzon, is well known.
Colombia these days living in a tense second round was in 2009, more than 286 000 displaced. In April of that year, the media made public that the DAS, an organization under direct authority of the president, had been performing for a long time, activities and widespread illegal spying against human rights defenders. The revelation in 2008 that the security forces extra-judicially executed a dozen young men in Soacha, forcing the government to take measures, in 2009, Extrajudicial Executions fell, but did not finish. The civilian population remains the main victims of armed conflict.














The report of 464 pages, draw a picture rather discouraging about the conquest of human rights, accountability and end impunity. Of the so-called first world nations to the poorest and most needy of the world, continues the abuse of power: judicial killing of persecution of human rights defenders, the failure international treaties, the senseless death of thousands and thousands of citizens who lost that status for various reasons (being female, being young, being transgender, migrant status), the map of justice in the world and equitable access to the right remain a chimera.

The city happens



as he toured the city today I noted the serious deterioration. I do not reach any of Calvin's invisible cities, even Eufemia, "the city where the memory is changed at each solstice and equinox at all." I got to play with your eyes runoff from the dreams of the modernists and the utopian and I could feel in the body the precariousness of the machinery that keeps it running, on edge, making crossings so that does not collapse all at the same time.
But I stopped at a corner, the best visual metaphor to talk about the contemporary city: a building crumbling and half-built. There, between cement and rods, walls fall and rise structures, lightweight intervention despite its lightness is not lost, a simple stencil in black and white, a square whose right-wing bird trapped in what falls and its left wing, badly drawn, looking for what is built. Did not bring camera, my labors were others-and claro, me arrepentí-, porque documentar la velocidad en que las ruinas se convierten en intentos de ciudad, amerita una documentación visual. Me detuve un momento para tratar de entablar un diálogo ficticio con Kublai: he visto una ciudad, Gran Kan, le diría, que se desbarranca sobre sí misma; no hay niños en esa ciudad y los jóvenes viven temerosos aprisionados por las ruedas de máquinas que les roban el aliento o atrincherados en el pequeño espacio que transcurre entre sus sueños y las posibilidades restringidas de esta ciudad que olvida su nombre. Un pájaro, Gran Kan, insomne y leve, vigila inútilmente la mutación de las ruinas.

Fear is the message








In a recent opinion article published in La Jornada http://http//www.jornada.unam.mx/2010/05 / 31/index.php? section = policy & article = 023a1pol , Carlos Fazio http://www.cubadebate.cu/categoria/autores/carlos-fazio , makes an interesting analysis of the kidnapping or forced disappearance Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, a former congressman, former senator and presidential candidate of the Republic in 1994 by the National Action Party (PAN). Fazio's article interested me discuss two issues. At first the concept of Faida, which the writer defines as follows: "beginning in the old Germanic law sanctioned the right to revenge. Thus, from the foundations of chaos "normalized" or naturalized in the government of the crime and the physical elimination as a mechanism for mutual protection against crime criminal through a supracriminalidad, and illegality through suprailegalidad "and, the phrase with which he concludes his article: "Diego is the message and no one is safe."
Faida With respect to a notion that was retrieved, updated and practiced by the Italian Camorra, I illuminator seems that for the first time (according to my data) displayed in the space of public expression, whose senses modern derivatives, refer to the exercise of violence by individuals (without the mediation of the state) to "charge "injury or damage, through the use of force. I believe that Fazio succeeds in translating the language of public opinion, which many scholars, myself, between women and men, we tried to emphasize: the need for processes that are experiencing violent and non-simplistic understanding perspectives, practices and logical organized crime. The escalation of violence, the growing sophistication in methods to die, directly or indirectly threaten, refer to my opinion, with great tact - what Fazio following Giulio Sapelli-called anti-institutionalization. In my own work I have been calling this process "paralegal", which I consider a more relevant and fruitful, to name the processes through which gangs generate a third space, that is, a practical space that opens and manages its own codes and values, its steering gear, its system of "justice", in which the Faida plays a key role. But not "a right to revenge", but as a principle that regulates the coexistence paralegals. The Faida (recovery of damages), and operating under the platform of the paralegal. Dimensions as the public discourse, government, institutional, often evade not only because of ignorance or the simplification that abounds in these territories, but also to evade a key issue: the cultural power of these groups and individuals.

In many ways, these issues lead me to question the role and the rule as we know it today. It is clear that different regions on the globe live and immersed in Faida and paralegals, generating orders alternate vestibular areas soon cease to be. I wonder if "paralegal" has not Only a criminal component, but a power instituting




And despite essentially subscribe Fazio presents the thesis in his article, I consider that although the "message is Diego and nobody is safe," the message "gravity" is still the fear component, brand management, indicating that the path of the facts Fadia (with all its collateral damage) and paralegal, with its enormous political power and symbolic advance in the transfiguration of the world we know.
is a pity that the rulers, chronically deficient, failed to display the cultural and political side of the case.
