Karlox: I am sitting here laughing. I pickup on the language, was pretty sure it was Spanish. I do know a little of that.
I also recognized that the video had to be a spoof on a sex scandal. Thought of the scandals presently happening in Spain.
So, you came to mind, but it was not in direct ref to the quality of your character.

karlox: Now, that makes sense. I didn't understand the language. Was looking at telsa stuff on you tube and this video came up. Thought it was in Spanish, but it was Italian? Try with this young spanish protester RAP against politicians, corruption... Does it sound different? ;D (still wondering why you thought of me with THAT video ) youtu.be/w8GoUw2finYYes, it sounds different. After watching the video, I will state this. I am an old feller, but the day an officer tries to hit me with a baton, if I were protesting something, he had better have a lot of fellow officers around. Watching the officer as he used the baton on a woman on the ground.........offfffffta.

Watching the officer as he used the baton on a woman on the ground.........offfffffta. Demonstrators in S_Pain have shown to be 99% cases very peaceful (compared to Greece we are like Mother Teresa of Calcuta) Then, whenever a clash is produced, general public first thought is "I don´t want to find myself amid of such type of unbalance battle ever". So this type of behaviour is meant to create FEAR in general public, which makes people much more reluctant to participate in protest... Some Police Proffessional Association also highlited the fact that, somecases, they have got the feeling that government tries to derive the focus of the protest from the real target of people demonstrating to headlines of "the unrest and violence on streets", so next we are not talking about democratic regeneration but on police behaviour etc... Old technique being applyied. One elder officer keeping a barrier 200m from our Cortes (Congress) replied to my inquiry on why such an unprecedent deployment of forces against a few hundreds of citizens protesting... He pointed his thumb back to the Cortes building and said: "Because THEY are scared" (meaning congressmen, government etc.). So nothing in general against police by my side: Generalization is the Chatechism of mediocrity... As for sexual schandals by top politicians, as our King´s private life was ´untouchable´by media up until recently, most presidents and ministers and congressmen have feel much more free in this country that they would be in USA... But I am affraid that in Latin countries things work more like with Berluscconni... part of their fan supporters even like that attitude -alike Vladimir Putin´s- showing how ´macho´they are... while others like me feel them as repulsive due to their attitude. Example on how things work here on sex and politics: Mr. Rajoy is subtlety being accused -from time to time- of being a hidden gay that finally married 41 since where he lived (small city in rural Galizia) people had starting ´talking´about Mariano´s real likes... Not that anyone would dare to openly say that gay politicians shouldn´t be elected -that claim would be unconstitutional- but rather on how hypocrite could be a person that had put a suit against civil gay marriages in our Constitutional Court (that claim was discarded only a few months ago) So we would care about coherence, not about whom is with you in bed tonite. (we´ve got quite a few out-of-the-closet politicians on local, regional and government basis -latter in the past- and was no big deal in media)

Though in Spanish I share this video related to police aggresion to an ederly protester in Puerta del Sol -Madrid- right in front of Regional Government Presidency Headquarters (formerly Franco´s Police headquarters). She explains first what happened then next you could see what was going on while she was kept by the police and people´s crying for them to release her and asking officers for their ID; finally Med-Aid services attended her. You could tell how mad and angry people is getting here... youtu.be/2rlJtj3YQBY

Futurama Citizenship Education. 2024 Edition Chapter 12.: From Large Intervention bailout until today. The Third Republic could be viable in a year. A critical mass of Citizens -because they were not recognized the power of decide on most important issues affecting them in daily basis- occupied themselves during those dark years to the task of drafting from the basement our current constitution. Next year, 2025, King Felipe X the ´wise´(El Sabio, to say of monarchists) shall be subject to the scrutiny of the people for first time in history. First constitutional referendum on our Federal State model, according to the Constitution of 2015 that he King Felipe endorsed and supported after his father´s dismisal. So Spain could again be a Republic, if that is what the qualified majority of citizens want; though the Constitution of 2015 was designed to work under either Political Regime: Monarquy or Republic. Next referendum could not be held before 15 years, according to our Constitution too. Catalonia decided to remain part of Spain back in 2020, so next referendum on that possibility won´t be celebrated until at least 2035. The rotten political party system, illuminated by the torches of citizens, and guided by the spirit of D. Torcuato Fernández Miranda, plus always living inspiration of President Adolfo Suarez, successfully emulated harakiri same way as the latest Franco´s Courts did back in 1975. With the profound changes to the Electoral Act -which led to everything else to come- former prevailing PP and PSOE reluctantly opened the door to democratic regeneration. karloxxxx.blogspot.com.es/2013/02/educacion-para-la-ciudadania-edicion.htmlKing Juan Carlos and National Anthem strongly wistled in final match King´s Cup Vitoria 2013 (Basque country) youtu.be/xTga0hZB-aEAttachments:

Rajoy and Berlusconi being two main dangers for economic recovery within Eurozone, according to German´s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has not hesitated to point to those who, for the Germans, embody the main threat, double, for European economic recovery: Mariano Rajoy and Silvio Berlusconi. The first by corruption. The second for his possible return to active politics. A lethal pair, according to the German newspaper, "Berlusconi Rajoy and scare away investors", and are causing a delay in the possible recovery of European markets. According to this newspaper ahead forecasts, and that based on reports and analyzes from large banking groups (teams cite Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland and Citigroup), "accusations of corruption that destabilize the government Spanish Prime Minister, and the threat of the return of Berlusconi in Italy ", have meant a halt to financial recovery. These uncertainties would be the main cause leading banks to provide for a fifth consecutive quarter of contraction económica.El German paper outlines how the destabilization brought 'papers Barcenas' the Government and PP have infected not only Spanish markets but also Europeans. The news about corruption in Spain, according to the newspaper, "have meant significant losses in equity markets and increased risk premiums in the bond markets." The euro zone economy, the paper concludes, will shrink even more, and the debt crisis, far from over, will last longer. "Mariano Rajoy faces the battle of his life" This information coincides with that already offered the Financial Times a few days ago and we reflect on ELPLURAL.COM. The international business newspaper then stressed that "analysts suggest that the scandal Barcenas has undermined the credibility of the Rajoy government in a time when confidence in key institutions is also in decline." Even devoted an editorial to the crisis of the Spanish government and warned that "Mariano Rajoy faces the battle of his life. There must be a thorough, transparent and independent investigation of these financial Barcenas. Neither the government nor the country can afford anything other than that " www.elplural.com/2013/02/11/rajoy-y-berlusconi-se-convierten-en-los-grandes-peligros-para-la-recuperacion-en-europa/Attachments:

FEAR TO FEAR As I was born in 1955 -I can promise and promise- that in the first ´transaction´, I mean Transition, it was largely the fear of losing what we were just winning, which conditioned our Magna Carta (Constitution) and there was the germ of present institutional degeneration and decay. The bound and well tailed bi-partisanship imposed on us with great joy of the two larger, EU, U.S. and NATO, among other acronyms, and also counting -and as has always been- with the 'feel' and blessings of the 'markets' ... In this our second transition -we endure and suffer- fear will be the biggest determinant for things being not made, or wrongly or partially made. Our greatest enemy is fear. If the country is intervened, and we would be ruled the coming years from the ECB, the IMF and some more acronyms ... What better collective task for a people politically idle period to open a constituent? A new constitution to leave it tied and well tied up, that the Cleptocracy game is over forever. May the spirit of Don Torcuato (1) nest so again in the Cortes, to enlighten their Lordships, and so they would happily perpetrate their political harakiri, delivering us, for example, a good brand new electoral law to begin with. Amen. (1) Latest Franco´s Courts President working from inside the system -with King Juan Carlos and President Adolfo Suarez- to dismanttle the Regime. It was said that the Courts were wise enough to commit harakiri, opening our first democratic constituent process after civil war. karloxxxx.blogspot.com.es/2013/02/fear-of-fear-miedo-al-miedo.htmlAttachments:

EL PAIS comments on Mr. Rajoy recent interview with THE ECONOMIST. "Mariano Rajoy is so little accustomed to answering questions from a journalist normally, the fact that it does almost immediately becomes an event. The president has accepted a short interview with sort of very direct questions of the editor of The Economist for Latin, Michael Reid, who left on all important matters of the Spanish policy which Rajoy barely speaks mostly because hardly gives interviews . And in a relaxed, more didactic than usual when dealing with a foreign journalist, in a conference organized by the prestigious weekly, the president launched his political views that draw background well his vision of key issues. For starters, the corruption and the political crisis. Rajoy still pronounce the word "Barcenas" and sees no need, he raised the journalist following the British model of parliamentary or independent research outside the court. "I've already ordered an internal investigation into the PP" merely states. On the political crisis, Rajoy sees no bipartisanship crisis in Spain, moreover, believed to be very positive. "Spain is fortunate to not have as in other EU countries quirky games," said explaining that there are no major right-wing formations, or anti-European or anti-political as it is called in Italy the Movimento Cinque Stelle Beppe Grillo. Rajoy welcomes it and does not believe that bipartisanship is so in crisis as proposed. "All the polls are still putting the PP and the PSOE party and the first and second. We both have alternated since 1977, because the PP today is like the UCD then. A country that does not have big games can fall into undesirable drifts. Spain is stable. The party situation is reasonable. Rajoy draws and a vision that downplays the political crisis of speaking all analysts, although it is provided to improve things, and ensures that the discussion will announce reforms of the nation state. "I am willing to change things to make the game more transparent, to change things in the ECA, although this is not a problem of laws but law enforcement," he says. But he insists: "Spain is a serious country, with controls, the institutions work". MORE INFORMATION Draghi arrives in Spain But independence ensures that facilitate the fight against corruption The Government chest out in defense of labor reform Rajoy avoids criticizing Barcenas and claims that he has already said all the scandal The President, in that line of stability and system defense, also committed not to touch the electoral law, as the reporter asked whether we should not think of a formula to the domes of both parties do not control all decisions . "It is a law that was made in 1977 to seek consensus among people coming from exile and people who had been minister of Franco. With it has ruled the UCD, the PSOE majority and without it, and the PP with and without it most. I never modifies the majority electoral law would have to be a broad consensus. " The president, relaxed and has made a sincere effort to also talk about his first year in office and the way he has broken his promises. "I went with a manifesto in which he promised he would not raise taxes. And I've probably violated that promise. Well no, probably not. I failed my promises, but at least I think I have done my duty, "he said after explaining that through these decisions has improved the collection and therefore control the deficit. Rajoy also spoke calmly of Catalonia. So much has moved, perhaps thinking of the international audience, his assurance that there will be separate from Spain. The president rejected the idea of constitutional changes - "You have to keep something that united us all, do not think there's a more decentralized worldwide Spain" - and the reporter asked. And with this system will be able to keep Catalonia in Spain? "Yes, do not worry you so," Rajoy has answered firmly. The president has taken the view that the wave is no majority for independence. "With Catalonia unites us all. I have the conviction that the vast majority of Catalans want us as we are now, I see why they want to deprive the Catalans of Spain. I do not think that most people want. " Rajoy has acknowledged, though, that "some want other things", referring to his covenant Artur Mas and CKD sovereigntist promotes a referendum in 2014. The president has ruled out that option without mention. "There are procedures for that. If someone wants to change the Constitution can do so while respecting the laws. There is a procedure, but you need the votes. " The opposition of the PP, with its absolute majority, makes this option unfeasible. "I am always open to dialogue, soon I will have a conversation with Artur Mas [is imminent appointment at La Moncloa], but there is only one thing I can not ask. I can not break the law. " The President, in the presence of bankers as Francisco Gonzalez (BBVA) or entrepreneurs as Antoni Brufau (Repsol) has offered economic news in his speech before the questions but wanted to send the message that it is changing the perception of Spain markets and various data, especially the trade balance and gait in the automotive sector, indicate that the tide is turning. Rajoy offered only news in the questions, but declined to accept it could hacérselas anyone present, including the Spanish journalists. Open debate is usual in this format of the conference of The Economist and is what will the other speakers at the conference. But he asked and obtained that only made him question the reporter Reid. Still, the result was something like those interviews which avoids both Rajoy and reflected several novel aspects of its political analysis that he normally does not raise in his speeches always controlled and unable to ask. Holders of President Reforms: "The reformist zeal or distracted, or falters or is exhausted". "We've done a lot but not enough" and "much remains to be done. Labor reform: "They're showing their effect on the Spanish economy" Unemployment: "A quarter of the jobs lost in the public sector is" Catalonia: "With Catalonia unites us all." "No way can I ask who violates the law." Reform of the Constitution: "We must know what we want to reform" Corruption: "Spain is a country with controls, which now has its economic difficulties, has its political problems, but Spain is a serious country that has improved a lot in recent years" Economics: "The outlook shared by international agency, anticipate that in the latter part of 2013 the economy recorded GDP growth rates."" politica.elpais.com/politica/2013/02/12/actualidad/1360655666_833015.htmlAttachments:
