How Volvo Created the Jean-Claude Van Damme 'Epic Split' Video
The Internet is buzzing about a new online commercial that shows actor Jean-Claude Van Damme appearing to perform a split between two moving Volvo FM trucks. Volvo says the stunt really happened.
"The stunt is real and is performed in just one take," said Anders Vilhelmsson, public relations manager for the Volvo Trucks brand. "It's a daring stunt but we had full control. There was never any real danger involved."
Van Damme, 53, was hooked to safety lines that aren't visible in the film, and each foot is on a small platform that was built on the trucks' side mirrors.
Van Damme's feet aren't secured to the mirrors, video director Andreas Nilsson said, "but we had him rigged so that if he would fall off he wouldn't die obviously. We didn't want to be responsible for killing the Muscles from Brussels."

President Hugo Chávez was reelected in October 2012 following a campaign in which economic growth, abuse of state resources, and public sympathy for the ailing incumbent trumped the opposition's increased level of unity and discipline. Chávez-linked candidates also dominated state elections in December, winning 20 of 23 gubernatorial races. Nonetheless, the government's acknowledgment the same month that Chávez's undisclosed form of cancer had returned fueled uncertainty about the future of the president and his socialist revolution.
The Republic of Venezuela was founded in 1830, nine years after independence from Spain. Long periods of instability and military dictatorship ended with the establishment of civilian rule in 1958 and approval of a democratic constitution in 1961. Until 1993, the center-left Democratic Action (AD) party and the Social Christian Party (COPEI) dominated politics under an arrangement known as the Punto Fijo pact. President Carlos Andrés Pérez (1989–93) of AD, already weakened by the violent political fallout from his free-market reforms, was nearly overthrown in two 1992 coup attempts—one led by Lieutenant Colonel Hugo Chávez, and the other by a group of disgruntled military officers. Pérez was subsequently impeached as a result of corruption and his inability to stem the social consequences of economic decline, which had coincided with lower oil prices beginning in the 1980s. Rafael Caldera, a former president (1969–74) and founder of COPEI, was elected president in late 1993 as head of a 16-party coalition.
Chávez won the 1998 presidential contest on a populist, anticorruption platform, and immediately proceeded to draft a new constitution. The resulting document, approved by voters in 1999, strengthened the presidency and introduced a unicameral National Assembly. Although Chávez retained his post in elections held under the new charter in 2000, opposition parties won most governorships, about half of the mayoralties, and a significant share of the National Assembly seats.
Chávez's use of decrees to enact controversial laws in 2001 provoked the largest street protests ever recorded in Venezuela. In April 2002, following the deaths of 19 people in a massive antigovernment protest, dissident military officers attempted to oust Chávez, the vice president, and the National Assembly with backing from some of the country's leading business and labor groups. However, the coup was resisted by loyalist troops and protesters, who brought Chávez back to power. The country was racked by continued protests, and in December 2002, oil workers backed by opposition leaders called a general strike that lasted 62 days. With the help of the military, the president managed to survive the strike and place loyalists in charge of the national oil company. The opposition then sought to trigger a recall referendum through a signature campaign. Under strong international pressure, Chávez agreed to the referendum, which was scheduled for 2004. In preparation, he launched a series of bold social initiatives in 2003, including urban health and literacy projects, many of which were staffed by thousands of experts from Cuba. He also continued to increase the number of loyalists in the judiciary, electoral bodies, the media, and other institutions.
Chávez won the recall referendum, taking 58 percent of the vote amid high turnout. National Assembly elections in 2005 were boycotted by the opposition, which accused the National Electoral Council (CNE) of allowing violations of ballot secrecy. A mere 25 percent of eligible voters turned out, and all 167 deputies in the resulting National Assembly were government supporters.
In the 2006 presidential election, Chávez defeated Zulia state governor Manuel Rosales of the opposition A New Time party, 61 percent to 38 percent. The incumbent exploited state resources during the campaign and drew on enduring support among poorer Venezuelans who had benefited from his social programs. He was also aided by high abstention rates among opposition voters who were convinced that the balloting was futile or not entirely secret.
Soon after the vote, Chávez pressed forward with his program of radical institutional changes. Most progovernment parties merged into the Unified Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), and the socialist "Bolivarian revolution" deepened economically with a series of nationalizations of private assets. Cuban advisers acquired increasing influence in the health and intelligence services, among other sectors.
Referendum voters in December 2007 narrowly defeated a package of constitutional amendments, among them the removal of presidential term limits. The vote reflected a new push for electoral participation among the opposition, public disappointment with rising inflation and crime rates, and a degree of disaffection among Chávez supporters. However, a set of 26 new laws decreed by Chávez in July 2008 appeared designed to institute measures that were rejected in the referendum.
State and local elections in November 2008 were preceded by the disqualification of over 300 candidates, including some opposition leaders, by the nominally independent but government-friendly comptroller. The opposition captured the mayoralty of greater Caracas as well as five of 22 states, including the three richest and most populous. Government candidates won 17 states and some 80 percent of the mayoralties.
A government-backed referendum in February 2009 abolished term limits. In March and April, the legislature passed laws allowing the national government to strip states of key governing functions and cut budget allocations; in practice, opposition-governed states and particularly the Caracas mayor's office were most affected.
In the run-up to National Assembly elections in September 2010, the PSUV benefited from significant exposure on state-run media and pressure on public employees and neighborhood groups. The opposition, grouped together as the Unity Roundtable (MUD), took more than 47 percent of the vote, the PSUV captured 48 percent, and the opposition-leaning Fatherland for All (PPT) party obtained over 3 percent. Due to electoral rules revised in 2009, however, PSUV candidates secured 98 of the 165 seats, MUD candidates took 65, and the PPT won the remaining two.
With the PSUV facing the loss of its supermajority in the new legislature, Chávez urged the outgoing chamber to enact a raft of new legislation before dissolving. Over 20 laws were passed or modified in December, including highly controversial regulations related to the internet, funding for civil society groups, education, procedural issues within the National Assembly, territorial reorganization, and the distribution of resources to subnational governments and community groups. In addition, the legislature again voted to grant Chávez wide-ranging decree powers for 18 months.
In 2011, the opposition began its primary campaign for the 2012 presidential contest; Miranda state governor Henrique Capriles received a majority of the 3 million votes cast during the February 2012 primary. Also during 2011, after weeks of rumors surrounding an operation he underwent while visiting Cuba, Chávez revealed in late July that had been diagnosed with cancer, though he refused to divulge specifics and made clear his intention to run for reelection in 2012. Critics bemoaned the lack of transparency, particularly given Chávez's personalized style of rule and the absence of a clear line of succession within the PSUV. Meanwhile, unstable social and economic conditions continued to pose difficulties for the government, as moderate economic growth was paired with electrical blackouts in parts of the country, stagnant industrial production, escalating crime, and persistent shortages of some food items.
The economy regained strength in 2012, spurred by continued high oil prices and, typical of electoral years under Chávez, a boom in state spending. Real wages were increased substantially, especially for public employees. The largest disbursements went to a project known as the Great Venezuelan Housing Mission, which provided or promised new housing for over a million Venezuelans. Other spending included payments to senior citizens and the distribution of appliances to low-income households.
Capriles sought to project a centrist, positive image in his campaign, pledging to maintain popular social programs while improving the quality and efficiency of governance. The Chávez campaign was more negative, alleging that an opposition victory would signify the end of the Bolivarian revolution, a return to the "oligarchic" model of the Punto Fijo era, and the start of a new era of violence in politics. Campaigning was largely peaceful, although several violent episodes targeting Capriles supporters occurred. Capriles could not match the government's turnout machinery, due in part to the collection of detailed personal information from recipients of state support. Moreover, the Chávez campaign enjoyed a significant resource advantage, including the melding of official publicity and campaign propaganda, the use of state vehicles to transport supporters to rallies and voting sites, Chávez's legal ability to take over the airwaves to make speeches, and generally weak oversight provided by the CNE. The skewed media coverage was especially noticeable in nonurban areas, where most media are state controlled.
Turnout proved decisive on election day in October, and Chávez was reelected with over 55 percent of the vote, to Capriles's 44 percent, with some 80 percent of eligible voters participating.
Chavismo maintained its momentum in the December state elections, with PSUV candidates winning 20 of 23 contests, including in several populous states that had been governed by the opposition. However, Capriles was narrowly reelected as governor of Miranda, reaffirming his status as the opposition's standard bearer.
In early December, Chávez acknowledged the return of his cancer and departed for Cuba for an indefinite course of treatment. In a sign of the gravity of his condition, before leaving he anointed Vice President and Foreign Minister Nicolás Maduro as his preferred successor; in the event of the president's death, new elections would be required within 30 days. As the year ended, Chávez's ability to return for his inauguration on January 10, 2013, remained uncertain, and the constitutional implications of a failure to do so were the subject of heated debate.
Relations with the United States remained stable but tense, and the United States continued to lack an ambassador in Caracas in 2012. The bilateral friction was partly attributable to Chávez's creation of ostensible leftist alternatives to U.S.-backed regional trade pacts and political bodies; his weapons purchases from Russia; and his rhetorical support for and economic cooperation with Cuba, Iran, Syria, and other nondemocratic states. The Venezuelan government stirred regional controversy in September 2012 when it announced its withdrawal from the American Convention on Human Rights following a series of decisions against it by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
Venezuela is not an electoral democracy. While the act of voting is relatively free and the count has become fairer since 2006, the political playing field favors government-backed candidates, and the separation of powers is virtually nonexistent.
Ballot secrecy has been a source of controversy. After the failed 2004 presidential recall referendum, tens of thousands of people who had signed petitions in favor of the effort found that they could not get government jobs or contracts, or qualify for public assistance programs; they had apparently been placed on a blacklist of President Hugo Chávez's alleged political opponents. After a boycott of the 2005 National Assembly elections, the opposition decided to actively contest all subsequent elections, and the voting is generally considered free and fair, but the CNE has failed to limit the use of state resources by Chávez and the ruling PSUV. The promotion of social and infrastructure projects often blurs the line between PSUV candidates' official roles and their electoral campaigns. Public employees are subjected to heavy pressure to support the government.
The unicameral, 165-seat National Assembly is popularly elected for five-year terms. The ruling party's majority acts as a reliable rubber stamp for the executive, and Chávez's control of the 2006–10 assembly allowed him to further curb the independence of institutions including the judiciary, the intelligence services, and the Citizen Power branch of government, which was created by the 1999 constitution to fight corruption and protect citizens' rights. The December 2010 grant of decree powers to Chávez was the third time he received such authority. He used it to enact 54 laws before the period expired in June 2012. The president serves six-year terms, but due to the results of the 2009 referendum, he and other elected officials are no longer subject to term limits.
The merger of government-aligned parties into the PSUV is largely complete, though several groups retain nominal independence. PSUV leaders are generally selected by the president, rather than through internal elections.
In 2009, opposition parties established the MUD, which selected unity candidates—in part via primaries—for the 2010 and 2012 elections. Opposition leadership in some states and localities has been blunted in recent years by laws allowing the national government to strip important functions from subnational administrations.
The government plays a major role in the economy and has generated regulatory restrictions that increase opportunities for corruption. Several large development funds are controlled by the executive branch without independent oversight. The largest, the National Development Fund (FONDEN), has received over $100 billion since 2005 and provides half of Venezuela's public investment, with no legislative examination of its many large-scale, unproductive allocations. Anticorruption efforts are a low government priority, and the lack of state transparency makes citizen investigation and exposure of corruption difficult. Venezuela was ranked 165 out of 176 countries surveyed in Transparency International's 2012 Corruption Perceptions Index.
Although the constitution provides for freedom of the press, the media climate is permeated by intimidation, sometimes including physical attacks, and strong antimedia rhetoric by the government is common. The 2004 Law on Social Responsibility of Radio and Television gives the government the authority to control radio and television content. Opposition-oriented outlets make up a large portion of the print media, but their share of the broadcast media has declined in recent years, in part due to closures by regulators and other forms of official pressure such as selective exchange rate controls. Coverage of election campaigns by state media has been overwhelmingly biased in favor of the government; private outlets have also exhibited bias, though to a somewhat lesser degree. As of December 2012, the local press watchdog Institute for Press and Society had registered 194 press violations during the year.
The government does not restrict internet access, but in 2007 it nationalized the dominant telephone company, CANTV, giving the authorities a potential tool to hinder access. A law passed during the December 2010 lame-duck legislative session extended the 2004 broadcasting law's restrictions to the internet. In 2011 and 2012, dozens of prominent opposition activists and journalists found that their Twitter microblog accounts had been hacked and used to disseminate antiopposition messages.
Constitutional guarantees of religious freedom are generally respected, though government tensions with the Roman Catholic Church remain high. Government relations with the small Jewish community have also been strained at times. Academic freedom has come under mounting pressure since Chávez took office, and a school curriculum developed by his government emphasizes socialist concepts. A 2008 Organic Education Law included ambiguities that could lead to restrictions on private education and increased control by the government and communal councils. In universities, elections for student associations and administration positions have become more politicized, and rival groups of students have clashed repeatedly over both academic and political matters.
Freedom of peaceful assembly is guaranteed in the constitution. However, the right to protest has become a sensitive topic in recent years, and rights groups have criticized legal amendments that make it easier to charge protesters with serious crimes. According to the local rights group Provea, at least 10 protesters were subjected to unconstitutional trials within the military justice system in 2012. Workers, particularly employees of state-owned enterprises, are the most frequent demonstrators, followed by citizens protesting poor public-services delivery and high crime rates.
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are also frequent antagonists of the government, which has sought to undermine the legitimacy of human rights and other civil society organizations by questioning their ties to international groups. In December 2010, the lame-duck parliament passed the Law on Political Sovereignty and National Self-Determination, which threatens sanctions against any "political organization" that receives foreign funding or hosts foreign visitors who criticize the government. Dozens of civil society activists have been physically attacked in recent years, and other forms of harassment are common, including bureaucratic hurdles to registration.
Workers are legally entitled to form unions, bargain collectively, and strike, with some restrictions on public-sector workers' ability to strike. Control of unions has increasingly shifted from traditional opposition-allied labor leaders to new workers' organizations that are often aligned with the government. The growing competition has contributed to a substantial increase in labor violence as well as confusion during industry-wide collective bargaining. According to local rights monitors, labor violence caused the deaths of 65 workers between January and September 2012. Labor strife has also risen due to the addition of thousands of employees of nationalized companies to the state payroll, and the government's failure to implement new collective-bargaining agreements.
Politicization of the judicial branch has increased under Chávez, and high courts generally do not rule against the government. Conviction rates remain low, the public defender system is underfunded, and nearly half of all judges and prosecutors lack tenure, undermining their autonomy. The National Assembly has the authority to remove and appoint judges to the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ), which controls the rest of the judiciary. In December 2010 the outgoing legislature appointed nine new TSJ judges who are generally viewed as friendly to the government. In April 2012 a fired and exiled TSJ judge, Eladio Aponte, leveled accusations that administration officials instructed judges on decisions in sensitive cases. Judge María Lourdes Afiuni remained in confinement throughout 2012. She had been arrested on corruption charges in 2009 after ordering the release of a prominent banker who had been held without conviction for more than the maximum of two years. In November 2012 she alleged that she had been sexually assaulted while in custody; the minister of prisons responded by calling for a defamation investigation against her.
Venezuela's murder rate is among the world's highest. The nongovernmental Venezuelan Violence Observatory cited at least 21,692 murders in 2012, an unprecedented figure that represents a rate of approximately 73 homicides per 100,000 citizens. The police and military have been prone to corruption, widespread arbitrary detention and torture of suspects, and extrajudicial killings. In 2009, the justice minister admitted that police were involved in up to 20 percent of crimes; few officers are convicted, partly due to a shortage of prosecutors. Prison conditions in Venezuela remain among the worst in the Americas. The NGO Venezuelan Prison Observatory reported 523 violent deaths within prison walls between July 2011 and July 2012. In June 2012 the minister of prisons announced that 24 new prisons would be constructed over the following two years.
The increasingly politicized military has stepped up its participation in the delivery of public services. Foreign officials assert that the military has adopted a permissive attitude toward drug trafficking and Colombian rebel activity inside Venezuela, though improved relations with Colombia have led to increased cooperation, including the capture of Colombia's most wanted drug lord in Venezuela in September 2012. In recent years, the division of responsibility between the military and civilian militias has become less clear, and informal progovernment groups have been responsible for attacks on press outlets and, occasionally, individual journalists and opposition supporters.
Property rights are affected by the government's penchant for price controls and nationalizations. While the pace of nationalizations has declined from previous years—due in part to the state's dominant position in many strategic industries—the government continues to threaten to nationalize businesses deemed to lack commitment to revolutionary goals. Accusations of mismanagement, underinvestment, corruption, and politicized hiring practices within nationalized businesses are common. Declining productivity and other problems in the politically sensitive oil industry were highlighted by an August 2012 refinery explosion that killed 42 people.
The formal and constitutional rights of indigenous people, who make up about 2 percent of the population, have improved under Chávez, though such rights are seldom enforced by local authorities. The constitution reserves three seats in the National Assembly for indigenous people. Indigenous communities trying to defend their land rights are subject to abuses, particularly along the Colombian border. Afro-Venezuelans remain marginalized and underrepresented among the Venezuela elite.
Women enjoy progressive rights enshrined in the 1999 constitution, as well as benefits offered under a major 2007 law. However, despite some improvements on implementation, domestic violence and rape remain common and are rarely punished in practice. The problem of trafficking in women remains inadequately addressed by the authorities. Women are poorly represented in government, with just 17 percent of the seats in the National Assembly, but they hold a number of important offices in the executive branch.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Sen. John Kerry, testifying before a Senate panel Thursday on his nomination as secretary of state, said the United States must find a way to work with Russia.
But Kerry said he is not optimistic about the U.S.-Russian relationship, though, "I have hope."
"I would like to see if we can find some way to cooperate," Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which he still heads. "We need their help and cooperation with respect to [ending the civil war in] Syria.
"I would also say that with respect to Russia, Russia has helped on a number of different things that are critical to us, and people should not overlook them," Kerry said. "They did cooperate on the START Treaty itself. They did cooperate on the P-5-Plus-1 [the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany] and are cooperating today in that initiative [to prevent Iranian nuclear weapons]. They have cooperated on the sanctions [against Iran]. ...
"I think it's fair to say that everybody here knows that [Russian leaders] warned us and said, 'If you do X, Y or Z on such-and-such a thing we may respond,' and we've gotten into that little back-and- forth. So we're gonna have to work our way through it. I'm confident we can."
Kerry warned he was not totally sanguine about the relationship.
"I don't want inquisitiveness or curiosity about what possibilities might exist with the Russians to be translated into optimism. I don't have optimism. I have hope."
As for the Syrian civil war, "The Russians have indicated -- and I've had personal conversations prior to being nominated to secretary with Foreign Minister [Sergey] Lavrov which indicated a Russian willingness to in fact see President [Bashar] Assad leave, but they have a different sense of the timing and manner of that."

The tragic death of Hollywood star Paul Walker on Saturday has shocked cinema fans around the globe and leaves a major hole in one of the world's most successful movie franchises.
The seventh installment of Universal's Fast & Furious series had already been shooting in Los Angeles and Atlanta and was scheduled for release on July 11. But following Walker's death at age 40 in an auto wreck over the weekend, director James Wan has held a meeting with studio bigwigs to discuss the future of the project, reports Variety.
Judging by photos posted on social media by cast and crew, it appears many expensive action sequences have already been shot, raising questions about what creative solutions may be employed for Walker's character, former Los Angeles police officer Brian O'Conner.

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend
|Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend
Niko Bellic, Patrick McReary, and Gracie Ancelotti (foreground) meeting Gay Tony and Luis Fernando Lopez (background) at the exchange of the diamonds for Gracie.
|Gerry McReary
|Bulgarin's Men
|Charge Island, Dukes, Liberty City
|Niko, Packie or Gracie Ancelotti is killed.
|New Random Character Gracie Ancelotti
|Unlocked by
|She's a Keeper
Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend is the final mission for the McReary Family. In this mission, Niko Bellic and Packie McReary arrange a deal on Charge Island to exchange their hostage, Gracie Ancelotti, for a ransom of diamonds.
Niko and Packie offer to give the Ancelottis back Giovanni Ancelotti's daughter, Gracie, in exchange for diamonds Luis Lopez stole back in an earlier incident. While Gracie is successfully returned to her family, the deal is interrupted (for Niko and Patrick only) by Ray Bulgarin, whose men temporarily steal the diamonds. Niko and Packie engage them in a prolonged gunfight both at ground level and in the catwalks above (this is one of the biggest gunfights Niko will encounter in the game -- make sure start this mission with full ammo, health and armor, though an armor pick-up can be found on the catwalk. Once Niko and Packie climb to the upper level, a 2-star wanted level is triggered, so shooting the gang members without hitting cops (and increasing the wanted level) becomes difficult. Eventually, Niko and Packie corner the thug with the diamonds, but the man with the diamonds throws them into a passing dump truck out of spite, trusting neither Bulgarin nor Niko and Packie to let him live. Packie does indeed kill him, and the pair are left with neither their hostage nor their ransom. To complete the mission, Niko must safely escort Packie back to a vehicle (not easy since the area will be swarming with cops by this point) and drive him home.
Niko comments in Serbian: "Fucked Up. As Usual."
After the mission, Gracie becomes a random character. Encountering her is required for 100% completion but is easily missed because, unlike other random encounters, the "pegman" icon does not appear on the radar. Instead, look for a white Cognoscenti to appear in front of Gracie's home in Alderney (which was featured in I'll Take Her). Niko has to walk up to the car to trigger the encounter, which consists of a brief gun battle with Gracie's bodyguards.
On the radio and in The Liberty Tree an article mentions a poor man living in the garbage finding a bag of diamonds, and becomes rich. The man said he was going to Vice City to open a weapons business. However this is ret-conned in The Ballad of Gay Tony where in an updated version of the story states that he found them in the trash in Meadows Park (as seen in the closing cutscene of the mission Departure Time) in Luis' side of the story.
See also
- The mission's name is a likely reference to the song of the same name by Carol Channing, which was later popularised by Marylin Monroe.
- This mission is played through Luis's point of view in The Ballad of Gay Tony's mission Ladies Half Price.
- Prince's glasses change between this mission and Ladies Half Price; they are blacked out sunglasses in this mission and become his normal black and purple glasses in Ladies Half Price.
- If you call Roman after this mission, he will mention Luis shooting up the museum and how he was also at the deal. Roman, however, will compare this talk of coincidence to one night that he slept with two girls, later realizing they were mother and daughter.
- If you haven't killed Ray before this mission, you will automatically call him afterwards. Niko will mention that a "serious Russian" he knows also claimed that the diamonds belonged to him, and inform Ray of their likely destination.
- Luis could've been killed with no penalty in the mission Three Leaf Clover, which would make the events of this mission and TBoGT impossible. For the player to do this is obviously non-canon, as Niko would not just shoot an innocent hostage. Likewise, Johnny and Niko can kill each other in their respective missions (Johnny will fail, Niko will not), again they would have no reason to want to do this. Luis can too kill Niko and Packie during Ladies Half Price or Not So Fast. These instances are not intended (Though a failure phonecall can be accessed if Niko dies in Collector's Item, but the game will say Niko was injured, not killed).
- After the diamonds are thrown into a Biff, you can see the Biff driving down the freeway overpass, albeit without the diamonds.
- Dimitri Rascalov will call soon after this mission to frame Niko for stealing off Bulgarin a second time. It appears Dimitri knew about the deal and informed Bulgarin which is what led him there, and thus Dimitri is the reason why the deal went sour. Dimitri also says he went to where the deal took place, only to find Niko's body not with the others, to his grand disappointment.
- After the mission is completed, a Weazel News report will state that Elizabeta Torres was arrested and given a 300-year sentence. This means her trial ended after Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend, following her initial arrest after Have a Heart.
- After the diamonds are dropped into the Biff, every car on the streets of Liberty City is a Biff (they can spawn in any variant) until the mission ends. This is likely intended to discourage the player from attempting to locate the truck with the diamonds, which is not part of the mission.
- This is the only time two important NPC from their respective story lines will interact with each other in this case Gay Tony and Patrick McReary.

More people are seeking care in hospital emergency rooms, and the cost of caring for ER patients has soared 17 percent over two years, despite efforts to direct patients with nonurgent problems to primary care doctors instead, according to new state data.Hmmm. Isn't this exactly what I wrote a few days ago? And tweeted?
ER congestion is as much due to the insured as the uninsured, and provision of universal health insurance will probably do little to alleviate the overcrowding. In order to abate the ER crisis, there will need to be:
Either fundamental restructuring of Primary Care reimbursement to create the capacity for caring for all these low-acuity patients in the ER (which will take many years) OR a massive expansion of ERs nationwide to accommodate the volumes.
AND new rules & practices and inpatient capacity to end the practice of inpatient boarding in the ER.

Those of you who hopped on our Golden Globe live-blogging adventure on Sunday (which was way, way more fun than I expected — GIVE YOURSELVES A HAND) might be interested in the following posts on Jezebel about (sadly predictable) sexist reactions to various women at the show:
James Cameron & Kathryn Bigelow Used To Be Married — Get Over It
'You Don't Put A Big Girl In A Big Dress': Dissing Christina Hendricks
And, my personal favorite: Paper Devotes 363 Word Article To Mo'Nique's Leg Hair
Basically these are all iterations of a theme: woman dares to look "different" (i.e., boobs, leg hair) and/or succeed artistically, must be put in her place. Well played, media journalists. What daring provocateurs you are.

The Movie:
Directed by Jerry Hopper in 1952, The Atomic City tells the story of Dr. Frank Addison (Gene Barry) and his wife Martha (Lydia Clarke) who live a content and peaceful life with their young son Tommy (Lee Aaker) in New Mexico where Frank works as a nuclear physicist at nuclear plant. Given the fact that what Frank and everyone else in the plant have to work on is top secret and that they don't want any of what the employees know to fall into the wrong hands, everyone lives in the same pre-fabricated suburb and is always very closely watched.
Things are going fine for everyone until the day that Tommy hops on the school bus to head out of the community on a school trip but then he doesn't come back, he's been kidnapped. Of course, the reasoning behind Tommy's kidnapping is that the enemy agents who have taken him want to hold him for ransom in exchange for what Frank knows about America's military projects, specifically the H-Bomb project Frank is involved with. The F.B.I. send some agents out to get Tommy back, but they find themselves in a race against time and Frank with some difficult choices to make, while Tommy's life hangs in the balance.
Shot in and around California and New Mexico, The Atomic City is a fast paced thriller that makes great use of its locations and which played off of the nuclear paranoia that was running fairly rampant in the era in which it was made. The movie also very effectively exploits the 'every parent's nightmare' scenario that Frank and Martha find themselves in when their son is kidnapped and they find themselves having to fight to get him back. The locations are shot with a great eye for shadow and composition, giving the whole thing a nice sort of noirish feeling at times. Playing off of the fears of impending nuclear destruction and the threat of communist invasion helps add an interesting paranoid slant to the emotional weight already supplied by the kidnapping angle to the storyline, so we wind up with a fairly taut film made all the more interesting thanks to the striking camerawork.
As far as the performances go, if Aaker is a little too wholesome as the all American kid then at least Barry and Clarke make up for it with very believable work here. Barry in particular, best known for the various science fiction films being churned out around the same time as this picture, does a very good job of letting us into his character's head a bit. This in turn lets us feel for his predicament and how he wrestles with putting family ahead of country and vice versa. Clarke as the loving wife is also very good here, understanding of the situation that everyone is in but of course, wanting more than anything for her son to be returned. She gets to run an interesting range of emotions and handles this all quite well.
While the film might be dated on the political side of things, the camerawork and strong acting on display here is timeless so you don't have to have been a child of the McCarthy era to enjoy what Hopper has put together here. Rather, you just need to appreciate atmosphere, suspense and solid technique and Atomic City offers up all of this and then some.The Blu-ray:
The Atomic City arrives on Blu-ray in an AVC encoded 1.37.1 fullframe presentation in full 1080p high definition. It's probably a safe guess that the same master that was used for the DVD was the one used for this Blu-ray release but the increase in detail is quite noticeable, especially in close up shots where you can notice the various pore on faces and details in skin. There's no evidence whatsoever of any noise reduction to note, nor does there appear to have been any heavy edge enhancement applied. Some minor print damage is noticeable as is a fair bit of grain but it's never particularly distracting. Could Olive have done more cleanup work? Yeah, probably, but you can say that about almost all of their releases. This was, however, taken from a sharp and clean source and is presented here with very nice contrast, good blacks and a nice film-like texture to it.Sound:
The only audio option on the disc is a fairly simple English language DTS-HD 1.0 Mono track. It sounds fine and has a bit more depth to it than the Dolby Digital Mono mix did on the DVD release, but the upgrade isn't quite as obvious in the audio department as it is in the video department. With that said, the levels are nicely balanced, any hiss or distortion that creeps into the mix is minimal, and the score and dialogue both sound good. Performers are always plenty easy to understand and for an older film made on what was probably a pretty modest budget, things sound just fine.Extras:
Aside from a static menu and chapter stops there are no extra features on this disc at all.Final Thoughts:
A well-acted and slick looking cold war era thriller, The Atomic City sure could have used some extra features but looks and sounds better on this barebones Blu-ray release from Olive Films than it did on their admittedly fine looking DVD release from awhile back. The movie is good enough that it's worth seeing, an enjoyable mix of paranoia and tension given a nice high definition presentation here. Recommended.

I take the war on terror personally because the war on terror is really a war on difference, because my body strikes terror in the hearts of other Americans.
My body and the bodies of the people I love are the most intimate sites of American imperialism. Because our sex anatomy isn't normal, they operate on us without our consent. Because who we have sex with isn't normal, they won't let us get married. Because our gender isn't normal, they don't give us jobs, health care, or housing. We work, we pay rent, we pay taxes, but because we're not normal, we don't get the same freedoms other Americans enjoy, the same freedoms American soldiers are murdering to protect.
Normal is a weapon of mass destruction. It's just as deadly, and just like those weapons, it'll never be found.
— Thea Hillman, Intersex (for lack of a better word), 2008
I very highly recommend this book: it's fascinating and moving.

I have another chibi character for you that is pretty darn cool. I'm pretty amazed that I never did this tutorial before, but now that I thought of the idea, here it is. Today I will start the day showing you all "how to draw chibi Deadpool", step by step. I gotta tell ya, this is a wicked cool drawing of Deadpool. I really love the way he came out because even though he is in his baby form, he still looks like his bad ass self. Deadpool is one of my favorite characters, and I can't wait to see Deadpool the movie. Anyways, this should be a very entertaining lesson to tackle so I hope you have fun. I will be back later with some more fun for you all so try to either stay tuned in, or come back mañana (tomorrow) for more drawing fun. Adios amigos and enjoy!

A side dish can be as simple as a bowl of chilled watermelon or as complex as twice baked potatoes.
I had company today, Greg grilled the meat I had a bowl of chilled melon, a dish of strawberries and some yummy roasted red potatoes. We also had fresh corn on the cob, but somehow we forgot about it. Stuff happens. But the potatoes were a hit, all 6 adults agreed they were blog worthy! This side will appear often in our dinner rotation.
Roasted Red Potatoes
4 red potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons Panko Crumbs
2 tablespoons fresh grated Parmigiana Reggino cheese (I buy a wedge at Costco, it last longer if wrapped in foil)
Salt, pepper, smoked paprika, Pampered Chefs Crushed Peppercorn and Garlic Rub--or whatever your favorite seasoning is
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Slice potatoes into wedges and place in bowl. Toss in olive oil until coated and then add all remaining ingredients and toss until evenly coated. Bake in a Pampered Chef Bar Pan that has been drizzled with a little olive oil. Bake in preheated oven 30-40 minutes or until desired degree of crispness, turning wedges over halfway through baking.
This recipe was inspired by Amber's Delectable Delights--a blog full of yummy food. I bookmarked several recipes I want to make.

It is easy to forget, in this new day of Ron Mexico and dogfighting, that Pac Man Jones was once the poster boy for All That Is Wrong With Humanity. It seems so silly now, doesn't it? Man, the guy just wants to rassle professionally. Is that so wrong?
It all started with that whole strip club shooting thing — which, we remind you, did leave a man paralyzed — and was gussied up by the whole Making It Rain business, a phrase for which a grateful nation of white people thanks Pac Man. And then was kicked out of the league for a year and plans on spending that time rappin' and rasslin'. It has been a busy year.
But is he a Hall of Famer? Seventy five percent is the threshold for induction. Vote below: Polls will be open until next Monday morning.

The epitome of Costa Rica, Tamarindo is a perfect Pacific Coast getaway for families, romantics and groups of friends. With all the tropical charm and beauty you're hoping for, Tamarindo also caters to the active traveler with ample watersports and jungle adventures. This area is often referred to as the "Wild West" of Costa Rica; much of the inland region is dedicated to ranching and farming. Immerse yourself in the local culture, engaging with the lively people of Guanacaste Province – festivals are a great way to get to know the destination, so consider attending a rodeo or bull-riding event for a taste of the "real" Tamarindo. For the driest weather, visit between December and April.
Surfers and sport fishermen flock to Tamarindo for the record catches of marlin, sailfish and giant tuna, yet these Pacific waters are fantastic for all manner of watersport. Take a guided surfing trip or learn how to surf from one of the ubiquitous surf shops in town. If you're into fishing, there's no need to take out a boat. You can surf cast and handline right from the beach in front of your holiday rental, then cook up your catch in your fully equipped kitchen. You'll definitely feel like a local! Go snorkeling, waterskiing, Jet skiing, sea kayaking, sailing, horseback riding and biking. Visit giant leatherback turtles at National Park Las Baulas. Tee off on championship golf courses. Or head into the rain forest or to a nearby volcano.
With a plethora of holiday rentals, Tamarindo offers accommodations that are low cost, family-friendly and full of amenities. You'll feel at home in paradise, whether you choose a beach house, cottage, apartment or villa. Consider a beautifully appointed condo across the street from the beach and in the town center – a wonderful balance of beach life and nightlife. Or spread out in a three-bedroom home in the Tamarindo hills, with an oceanview infinity-edge pool, hammock, gourmet kitchen, tropical garden and more. Condo rentals offer all the privacy of your own apartment, but at the same price – or lower! – as a traditional hotel room. You'll have access to all of the condo association's or resort's amenities, often including a golf course, tennis court, private beach access, spa services and more. Holiday rentals are the perfect choice for families, allowing flexibility, privacy and the ability to cook and eat meals on your own schedule. Or, hire a locally recommended babysitter, feed the kids dinner and then head out on the town yourself!

Strike at the Heart of Capital: John Holloway and the veils of theory upon Common Sense
This is a review upon a recent interview published by Leftvision on 13/12/2011 wherein an overall view of the world was given by John Holloway (born 1947) a Marxist theorist that I got to meet him on a few occasions while trying to grasp sociology and its function toward an actual 'change in the world,' which lead me to realize that academy – as controversial as it may intend and pretend itself to be – is Still feeding off of the same system – or biting the hand that feeds – which is what I find interesting considering that he's talking about how the opposition eventually gets absorbed by the system, which is precisely what any social theory and their creators end up doing anyways, and it's perfectly normal. Why? because there is no actual 'way out' of the system:
We Are The System
There seems to be a common stigma attached to the word 'System.'This word is coming through with a charge of antagonism, disgust or even absolute rejection while perceiving it as a synonym of 'control' and oppression. However, a system implies perfection, implies functionality, implies consistency in its application which makes it trustworthy, just as the system that this entire planet is existing as.
'Fighting the system' has certainly become the shout-out for everyone still participating in protests that have been going on for the past two years now on a global scale, and as much as John finds them 'fascinating' as an indication of the 'cracks within the system,' we have defined them as useless and futile in their existence as long as there are no actual practical and defined proposals to their intent to 'break the system/ make wall street fall.' As much as they can be an indication of this current system being obsolete or developing such 'cracks' as John explains – which I definitely agree and its self-evident in all ways – we say that there is another way, and time is being wasted by people camping on the streets instead of becoming educated on how to stand within the system to create a change/ transformation from within.
We have to being by saying: The eternal support toward 'fighting the system' must come to an end – common sense, the system feeds off of such struggle, just like light is created from rays going from cathode to anode – that's how this reality operates, powered through polarity – hence any form of opposition, revolution or eventual war only creates another stepping stone for it to upgrade, rejuvenate and keep functioning within an improved level of control, which is what the current protests are managing to provoke within the world at the moment.
Having placed some basic clarifications here, let's walk through some statements made through the interview which I will discuss in order to place some basic common sense points to consider within this seemingly elusive endeavor to 'crack the system' – which is currently capitalism – at its core.
"We are the crisis of capitalism "
The fact that one can conceive capitalism without an inherent quality of crisis is rather innocent, to say the least. It cannot possibly be that 'all of a sudden' the word crisis is linked to capitalism which is almost like saying 'the grass is green.' It is obvious that the moment that a system is founded upon make-believe values upon reality, deliberately schemed to polarize society and endorse all forms of abuse toward humanity and the ecosystem, that it would eventually reveal itself as unsustainable within the consideration that such values are not based upon the physical reality = they can be manipulated 'at will' which is how economy and laws have been keeping a system of inequality in place, without having any intent to create an Equality-System within this world, for the obvious reason that there must be slaves in order for masters to exist.
If you look at the human body as the perfect system that it is, all cells are equally important to create the tissues, the organs that create the systems which comprise the totality of the body – there is no 'more or less' in that – hence capitalism is like suddenly making the cells on your liver more important than the ones on your colon, or more important than the cells that create the veins that make the money flow throughout the body in an equal manner. What happens with the unequal growth of cells in the body? Cancer is created as that bodily rebellion to point out where we have created such a disparity within ourselves, which eventually leads to decay and eventual death. That is what is happening at the moment with capitalism, we have developed the cancer and the cure is HERE yet only more greed for power could be the obstacle to neglect the solution, which is as we have mentioned: an Equal Life based System.
Thus capitalism has been an inherently flawed system from its inception. In other words: it was meant to get to a point of inevitable crack/ crisis and we all have certainly accepted and allowed it, this should have been a premise within the realization that no god has placed the rules of the game in this world: it is our creation, it is our responsibility to change the rules of the game to equalize the playing field.
"Capital is a constant attack on people"
Capitalism is not just a system, it's not just an unjust system – it is a constant aggression
The general approach of 'capitalism' as this separate entity from ourselves is rather pointing out to abdicate Self Responsibility within our very participation of creating and feeding such 'monster.' The attack that we are inflicting upon ourselves and the entire biosphere can only have its origin within separation. By neglecting the basic principle of Equality and Oneness as the physical non-spiritual realization that we are Here in this world as physical-beings that coexist within the same biosphere, we create a leeway for systems like capitalism to exist. Hence the problem is in its very core educational, because the schools are created within a system of profit – hence profit is what will be endorsed and supported as a general aspiration to achieve within the individuals. If we had been actually indicated on these very basic common-sensical aspects of reality, such delegation of responsibility to a fictional-entity that is powered through our participation would have been stopped from the very beginning. Thus the attack is on us, the joke is un us and we have created it.
We could go further into the realization of how we have created of this system an external-manifestation of our own mind as a social, economical and political system wherein we all claim dementia as if the rules of the system had been laid by a god and were 'immovable' or 'divine' to ever challenge or question.
"You must work faster" = Profit for capitalism
We don't want to be robots = we got other tings that are important in our lives"
The moment that we created this division of ourselves between our physical body and our mind, the moment that we accepted and allowed ourselves to believe we are this thinking-thoughts and feelings and emotions, we created the first divide that would eventually be the starting point of creating a system wherein we have created and set-up our own jail, our own system of abuse. While writing this, we can forgive ourselves for having played dumbed all this time, blaming a god for apparently placing some form of biblical damnation upon Earth and its inhabitants as to create some form of meaningful lesson in life that can only be evident as the realization of how far we can go to abuse ourselves and give continuation to that abuse as long as our personal interests are not intercepted by the implosion of reality within this current economical system.
For great power to exist, you require a lot of energy – and that energy has been each one of us living in a system that is constantly producing in means of 'economic growth' without ever realizing that in that, life was never being considered. We can only be the ones that have set up a system in separation of 'that which is important in our lives' which is LIFE itself! Common sense, how have we created our own repression through the participation in a system that is evidently not caring about life at all, but only caring about numbers within a system that can be translated as money that can be used within the same system to live at the maximum ability to exploit others and live like kings and queens.
Our vocabulary says it all: we have accepted slaves and royals as roles in humanity which indicate the extent of brainwashing we have learned from kindergarten – there is no one to blame, but only actions to take on to ensure this won't ever 'happen' again.
The cracks
in the system
"We are proud to be the crisis of a system that is destroying humanity"
-Refusal to turn into machines: "our insubordination, our refusal to bow down – 'find the way of living according to a more human logic, a logic that 'makes sense' – we're going to do things in a different way"
Giving continuation within the understanding of this 'evil system' being our creation, we can see that we are only fighting ourselves the moment that we pretend we are actually able to find a 'better way' within human logic. Human logic is a synonym of self-interest, greed and – last but not least – reptilian logic. Some basic anthropocentric considerations must be in place to realize that because we have created the current system, the way out of such system can only come in a way that we do not only 'defy' the system in itself, but also 'cracks' the foundation of the infamous 'human nature' that is based upon greed, desire for power= money and the eternal pursuit of happiness that is constantly implanted and impulsed as part of the carrots on the stick for everyone to keep going without ever having time to question anything about this deceptive and masochistic mechanism to generate profit as the fuel for the system.
Within this, being such 'cracks in the system' can only be a rather schizophrenic mode of attacking ourselves to then come through as the victorious vindicators of mankind, without realizing: we have done it all toward ourselves, there can be no proud in breaking something that we built in the first place, it would be just a form of dissociation from reality which is what we have been living as for a long time already. Such stand-off is then absolutely unnecessary as it only promotes a rebellion toward: ourselves. This is how the regular anarchism relies on pointing fingers toward others, endorsing separation and further alienation from 'the system' while justifying it with the self-sufficiency excuse.
These cracks are necessary – however there is no proposal toward a definitive outcome – it's not to 'bring the cracks together' to create a bigger crack and eventually find out what to do next – no. And saying 'there is no future for humanity' are big words for a single mind that cannot see the fact that we have been the ones building our own doomsday all along = it can be stopped, it can be corrected. Knowledge can be the obstacle on the way of Self Realization.
The way to 'make sense' is simple: Common Sense = what's best for all in all ways. that's the most encompassing and equalizing sense there can ever be, yet it is vital to understand equality as the principle that must be understood not only as 'fairness' but as the realization of who and what we all are as equal-parts of this entire world.
"We're going to create a new way: Ecological community, going back to the land "
As much as it sounds like a nice plan, if such community only considers a lifestyle that is pertinent to the Zapatistas, then it would certainly create a major exclusion that is simply not viable in this world. I would say it is not about getting to know how such community will function – which is then looking at how the current Resource Based Economy proposals are basing their foundation upon. No – it is about first and foremost implementing a living-principle that can ensure that such community is not only considering a few 'outcasts of the system' which can only be a preferred belief by anyone that wants to 'step out of the system' – or believe that such thing is possible – as a way to not have to take Self Responsibility to implement a solution that is equally applicable and viable for every living being in this world.
Unless the whole is considered, be sure that such communities will turn into another system of tribes/groups that will eventually have to impose another form of control over the resources in order to survive – see 'Bartering is still capitalism' for further reference.
I do suggest that lectures and seminars on sociology, economy and any other form of political consideration must go back to the very basics of understanding how only a system based in Equality can thrive in this reality.
"Are we walking in the wrong direction?
We don't want to go into the direction of capitalism, we want to find the way to disobey"
The way of protesting, fighting and battling against each other is certainly promoting the 'wrong direction' simply because it has been tried ad nauseam throughout history with no conclusive outcomes that can be deemed as actual solutions within this world.
I definitely do not support and question the endeavor to promote disobedience and dissidence as 'the way to create a change' in this world, which is the usual resistance that in physical laws can only create more 'heat' toward that which is being resisted. Thus – we definitely have to first stop trying to 'riot the system' as it is only by standing within the system and the realization that we have the faculty to create the laws in the system, that we can implement the new way of living, which must be Life in Equality.
Creating an idyllic sense of 'solidarity' through joining in to 'oppose the system' is not precisely what the 'brotherhood of man' should have as a glue. Such 'networks of solidarity' must be founded upon the realization that we are equal and one in this reality and that we have to start living by basic principles such as Equality as Life wherein we understand that only through working together toward a single outcome will be be able to create an actual transformation in this world.
The current problem is as we know, the lack of cohesion that we have lived as simply by having been instructed and indoctrinated to live in a world wherein 'there is not enough for everyone' and in this, instilling the idea of everyone being a potential enemy that could take the throne before us. This is exactly the type of survival skills/ genera conditioning that the Equal Money will bring to an end. It is a cease to the ongoing fire that we have continued in means of winning and/or defeating to an 'opponent' which we have neglected is an equal part of ourselves within this world.
Thus, you cannot 'fight capitalism' by using the very means that have built capitalism in the first place, such as divide and conquer. We are a group: humanity, we must stand together. There is no 'they' within this, there is only us having to take Self Responsibility, stop all malarkey and walk toward the implementation of a system that is truly considering all as equals.
How to stop reproducing capitalism?
"We don't know"
That's certainly not an acceptable answer.
Is 'breaking' and 'avoiding' the solution? Is a 'constant struggle' and 'rebelling' the solution? After 17 years of the conflict in Chiapas = nothing has happened other than remaining as an elusive 'movement' that has gained more fame for its characters than any actual substantial reform within the system. Why? Because separation cannot be the way to 'regain a dignified living.' Zapatistas represent separation through a self-righteous move to create an 'autonomous' entity outside of the country. The moment that special rights are created toward people according to their ethnicity or nationality = no change will ever go on, because the way is not to exalt a certain group to 'overcome' the ones that are perceived to be in power – but to establish a system that works for everyone equally.
"We don't have any model"
We do, it can only exist by a principle, not by ideology or model presented within the past.
It's called the Equal Money System and it breaks apart any form of convoluted social theory that has only dissected human beings as subjects of study without ever actually considering the most basic, simplistic facts that must be included in any form of social reform and/or consideration of guarantees/ rights that can be applicable to all beings regardless of their current affiliations. Equal Money System is of actual substance: the only value in this world must be Life in Equality.
"I think we can only see it in the context of an ongoing struggle"
See, the entire Marxist approach of struggle of the classes and the continual proposal for the proletarian to overcome the bourgeoisie is not applicable any longer, as that would only create a reversal of the roles. We cannot possibly remain at the level of theories that were developed over a 100 years ago! We cannot possibly remain in such theoretical stagnation taught in universities as part of a 21st century sociological approach toward this entire system in spite of the evidence of it requiring a major reform. This is outdated and certainly a waste of time to try to continue revamping the ideals that have been proven to be ineffective in the world. As long as the heads of the academy remain married to the heroes of the past, we won't actually walk into the realization that:
Nothing of the past has ever worked to create an actual transformation and reform at a social, political and economical level – hence WHY are we still trying to take the past as a reference to a world that has already given its last turns around capitalism? We are NOT any longer entering an Industrial Revolution – in fact, we have Depleted the world now as a result of that. We cannot base life upon 'work force' or selling it as a form of survival. We cannot possibly remain creating ideas of only achieving any form of change through 'struggle' – that is as archaic as our own existence has been in this world.
We have to stop the 'survival of the fittest' type of approach toward any form of change/ transformation in this world.
As an example in relation to one of Holloway's fervent causes, to me the Zapatistas remain only as a reminder of how Not to create a group that becomes part of a national novelty wherein no actual change or progress is made. Time to move on.
"Escape the circle of reintegration through permanent moving and the strike at the heart of capitalism"
"We hope because we know that there is no alternative" – there is no way out – 99% probable there is no way out, we're doomed, this is it, this is the end of humanity, we're on our way but somehow we have to look for this 1%, for this Insane possibility that we can still break the system"
I agree, it is an insanity within the current parameters wherein Equality is diminished and often misunderstood as communism, thus relegated as some form of relic that has no 'chance' within our current world.
It is thus such insanity yet extreme simplicity such as the principle of Equality that we are in fact 'breaking the system.' We have been testing this through the presentation of the Equal Money System wherein everyone sees it as something 'impossible' which only confirms the effectiveness of "education" within our reality to numb ourselves to ask very basic questions like: 'How have we accepted and allowed ourselves to create and participate within a system that is clearly not supporting everyone equally and even endorsing abuse in the name of profit?' – However, we have been so imbued in our personal bubbles that any concern of 'the greater sphere' as the world is only relegated to the job of a few that we 'pay for/ vote for' in order to 'take care of such businesses.' Then we dare to complain because of the misused of resources and wrong-decision-making in congress?
That is certainly not acceptable. We have to stop neglecting the reality that we are missing HERE wherein such 99% represents the percentage of time we have spent in our minds, worried and concerned about 'that which is more important to us' as Holloway mentioned in the video, wherein the very functioning and management of the system that makes our lives possible is seen as some alienating monster-like entity that we have to fight in order to 'break free.' That is certainly not the way and it even sounds like another heroically achieved outcome can be created out of that, ensuring there are some others 'losing' in the way. So, where does Equality fit in such equation?
"I think capitalism is always going to want and reintegrate rebellion"
"We can't allow ourselves to be institutionalized, we just have to move on, we have to rebel in other ways" –
That is certainly so – hence none of the revolutions have actually made a change in this world. Why? Because opposition gets absorbed by the system, just like the current attempts of communism in the world or the very 'dissident theories' that are considered as 'leftists' within a usual 'rightist' system – just another side of the same coin, really.
Unless there is an overall reform within the system for ALL equally, there will still be parts that will try and absorb/ reintegrate the dissidence. However, this can only be as long as we remain separated through our own beliefs, theories and neglecting the most basic common sense: we must work together with Living Principles and not only remain within ideological or theoretical approaches to what's best for all. This is how knowledge corrupts life.
If a system that's best for all and considers life is implemented in this world, there is and will be no need to fear being institutionalized – this is yet another stigma such as the one placed onto 'system.' It's merely the way that we have lived the words that frightens us, yet is is our very own creation that we have built out of proportion.
"I think the heart of capital is Money – maybe what we have to think, maybe the big challenge is: how do we break money?"
Holloway calls this the real challenge of the crisis and indeed, it is so. However it's fairly easy to see how money can be 'broken'/ reformed from its current foundation on debt, basing its existence upon laws that are deliberately created to confuse the population about the most basic facts wherein it's obvious that money is a synonym of control – just as knowledge and any other form of theorizing about reality.
Therefore, how to break the spell of money as power? of money as control? We Equalize it as Life, as equally accessible for everyone – that breaks the spell of it. See, the approach is not to 'fuck the system' / break it – but rather stand within it to re-form it and transform it into a system that works for all.
People panic about the current future of the Economy, however that is only looking at the already fixed system that controls money as 'power' in this world over others. By reforming this monetary system, removing its spell as this all-mightiness attribute we've given over life, we'll start realizing what type of religion as values, codes and creeds we have implemented upon the life that is here as Earth.
"How do we break money? "
Equal Money System – Equalization is the only way you can break any spell of polarization in this reality – in all ways.
Holloway makes a cool point: Money is already the point of social cohesion in capitalism which is one of the reasons why we have explained that we cannot just 'remove money' and go for a 'resource based economy' – which I still don't get the title of that as economy implies management and for managing you require an accounting tool which is what we are explaining Equal-Money will be . At the moment it is about creating a 'homeopathic cure' to the current capitalist system – that implies using a placebo such as equal-money to create a proper understanding of what we have created within this world when implementing differential values upon reality, instead of living within a one and only common-value which can only be LIFE.
This might create extreme resistances to acknowledge, even after having spent several years of walking around theories trying to find a solution while in fact, we have missed it all the way: Life in Equality is the solution to this world.
And this would be In-Fact the type of revolution that capitalism cannot reabsorb simply because the current capital rules that are based upon money as it currently exist, will be no more once that we equalize money as life – simple, once that all values are equalized, value in itself ceases to exist.
The fact that 'Money is so central to the existence of capital' makes it seem as 'the root of all evil,' while we have explained that it is not so that money in itself is the problem – money is innocent: it is the rules under which money is currently existing that are the problem in the world. Money is our creation – hence we are perfectly capable of changing the rules of the game through political reforms.
"Fighting to push money out"
See – there's no need to fight, but only educate ourselves to see how it is that money is a make-believe system that is currently diverting our attention into a survival mode, instead of realizing that money in itself doesn't have to be fought against or exterminated, but only reformed from its roots toward an equalized value which, obviously means no more values will exist – but only physical accountability of individuals and their requirements to live/ exist in a dignified way as Equals.
Isn't this what all revolutions in the past have fought for? Why was it never actually implemented then? Because of money remaining intact in its 'lucrative foundations' which were never intended to benefit ALL Equally.
Who is the real enemy?
You have to ask yourself: who's the real 'evil' in this world' Is it the entity we have pointed-fingers at as "capitalism?" No! That is our creation, that is our cookie-monster that must be debunked with common sense = what is best for all. As long as we give power to a make-believe system of money as god, we'll remain trapped within the illusion that 'change is impossible' or that it will be a battle royal to do it. It certainly won't be an overnight reform, however it won't either be an armed revolution because there is no need to fight or oppose those in power. Equality System implies ALL are included – so, there is no need to overcome a particular elite – it is about dignifying the life of those that have nothing to eat, of giving proper living-conditions to every living being in this world and that does not only include human beings, but animals, plants and the entire planet that IS the real and only 'value' that can exist, the real and only resource that allows us to continue the rhetoric in such theoretical mindfucks while the answer has always been here in simplicity.
We can only forgive ourselves for the ignorance that we have played out, trying to complicate ourselves and find ways within a system that should have been based in Equality as Life since the very beginning. We can't change the past – we are here to create the present into a sustainable equality equation. That begins within our very own mindsets that must be cleared up from academy bugs that have kept theories and systematic criticisms at the margin of just that, nothing but words that have never been able to consider the most basic and incredibly simple – yet overlooked al this time – reality facts: we require to establish a system of Equality in the world through money valued upon LIFE itself – no more waiting for miracles.
To recap:
Creating a 'rebellion' that capitalism cannot re-absorb:
Equalize money as Life and capitalism cannot exist in Equality.
"We don't have the answer"
WE DO have the answer: equalmoney.org
Wiki entry on the Equal Money System
"We have to keep developing the questions and keep fighting for that"
See, this is how I would always end up in any of the sociological or theoretical meetings about the current state of the world- and by this I don't only mean Holloway's conferences/ lectures – but throughout our entire educational system, we are always left with that 'spine' wherein it is apparently impossible to come to a definitive conclusion about the course of action that must be taken. To me then it seemed as if because being a sociologist is a profession within the realm of Capitalism as well, that such 'elusiveness' within it was reinforced just so that everyone could keep their jobs in theorizing about reality without being able to come up with a simple solution that can literally, actually, debunk the roots of this current capitalist system.
Capitalism is nothing else but the ego of man built upon as the godly effigy over a reality that has been unconditional in giving/ providing everything that we require to live. What have we done in exchange? Abuse, manipulate, control and extort others in order to maintain a system of energetic disparity wherein only some could have all the money to be able to have subordinates doing all the 'hard work.' What type of lazy abusive gods have we been and become throughout time?
This is how Equal Money System not only represents the equalization of Money to become a single accounting tool to distribute/ give equal access to the resources/ means necessary for each living being – but it also represents the perfection that the human has sought throughout its history, neglecting the very first point which is seeing god as something separate from ourselves; instead of realizing that we are the creators of this reality and that we can actually set the rules wherein there can be no 'more' or 'less' than – and within this, debunk the entire hierarchical structure upon which the current system is cemented upon. This is then the principle that humanity has only written in constitutions, never realizing that as long as money was placed on top of Life itself, the god-money would rule over common sense.
