1. Energy War? Lebanon Warns Israel ‘Playing with Fire’ Offshore
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Lebanon has warned Israel it is “playing with fire” by staking out energy claims in the Mediterranean Sea, where Beirut says Israel’s discoveries are in its territory.
The Israeli Cabinet, heading off another dispute similar to the Sheba Farms land dispute at the northern border, approved a “marine economic zone proposal” Sunday after Lebanon presented maps to the United Nations, marking maritime borders that would include part of the giant Leviathan and Tamar fields. The United Nations previously has refused to take repsonsiblity for marking the maritime borders.
The Lebanese daily As-Safir, in an article under the headline “War of Oil: Another Phase of Israeli Offense,” reported that Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water Joubran Bassil said Israel “is playing with fire “by violating Lebanon’s maritime border and oil rights.”
He added, “Obviously we will prevent any violation. However, in case of violation, Israel will not be the only damaged part, but also large companies that cooperate with it. We, in Lebanon, respect the rights of others, and we don’t want to violate the rights of others, but at the same time, we do not want someone to attack us. Lebanon will not give up its rights or its borders”
Israeli firms discovered the gas fields, which also are believed to hold large commercially viable oil deposits, two years ago. Afterwards, Lebanon said the discoveries are in its territory, and it recently has announced that a Norwegian company will start a seismic research offshore.
Hizbullah, with its eyes on the rich reserves, previously has threatened that Israel is risking war by planning to “steal” its offshore energy reserves.
Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon Sunday morning denied a report n the Haaretz newspaper that the United States already has backed the Lebanese position.
"The dispute over the border with Lebanon was created by the Lebanese,” he said on Army Radio. “It is incorrect that the Americans sided with Lebanon in this dispute. There are very objective and organized rules, and I think that Israel will have no problem proving its ownership of the maritime areas that are ostensibly in dispute."
He also said that Israel has unsuccessfully tried to talk with Lebanese officials about maritime borders, despite the countries' officially being enemy states. "We've been in contact with Lebanon for a very long time," he explained. "We have an interest in demarcating and setting all the borders, but they refuse."
“Even the current land border, which is recognized by the United Nations, [was demarcated] without Lebanese involvement or recognition,” Ayalon said. “After the huge gas reserves were discovered, they suddenly woke up. Now that they've suddenly sent maps, we have no choice but to set the borders ourselves."
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman charged that Lebanon is “under pressure from Hizbullah” and “is looking for friction.” He added that there are "very strong arguments under international law" that back Israel’s claims.

2. UN ‘Human Rights’ Official Apologizes to Jews and Animals
by Gil Ronen
The United Nations Human Rights Council’s special rapporteur on Palestinian rights, Richard Falk, has published an “apology” for the publication of an anti-Semitic cartoon showing a kippah (skullcap)-wearing dog on his Internet blog.
The apology, however, is just as offensive, as it is directed equally toward both Jews and animals, as if each was insulted by being compared to the other.
The cartoon appeared on Falk’s blog as an illustration to an entry he made regarding the supposed anti-Arab and pro-Israel hypocrisy of the United States and the International Criminal Court. It shows Lady Liberty taking her dog for a walk. The dog wears a shirt labeled “USA” and dons a Jewish kippah on its head. It is shown gobbling a pile of bloody human bones while wetting Lady Liberty’s foot.
After initially denying that he had even published the cartoon, Falk removed it from his blog. He issued this “apology”:
"With apologies, I realize that the cartoon... had strongly anti-Semitic symbolism that I had not detected before it was pointed out to me...
"My intention has never been to demean in any way Jews as a people despite my strong criticisms of Israeli policies, and some versions of Zionist support...
"Beyond this, if we are to have a sustainable human future we must also make peace with nature, and treat animals with as much respect as possible...
"At the same time, I am quite aware that many of the messages were motivated to discredit me due to my views of Israeli policies and behavior."
The cartoon was noticed last Wednesday by UN Watch, which demanded that UN Human Rights Commissioner, Navi Pillay, issue a statement on the matter.
Falk responded on that same day by saying: "It is a complete lie. I know nothing about such a cartoon, and would never publish such a thing, ever." Later that day he deleted the cartoon. He explained: "Maybe I do not understand the cartoon, and if it offends in this way I have removed it from the blog. It may be in bad taste to an extent I had not earlier appreciated, but I certainly didn’t realize that it could be viewed as anti-semitic, and still do not realize."
In another post Wednesday he commented: "I did not perceive any racist connotations, and certainly no anti-semitic implications, and since it offends people I have removed it without understanding why." He also blamed his imperfect eyesight, at age 80, for causing him to think that the dog's Star of David-adorned kippah was a helmet.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, denounced Falk’s cartoon on the floor of the US Congress.
Falk is Jewish himself. He taught international law and international relations at Princeton University for forty years.

3. Yehoram Gaon: Did Police Need Rabbis’ Fingerprints?
by Gil Ronen
Yehoram Gaon, legendary Israeli singer-actor and cultural icon, questioned the state’s wisdom in arresting Rabbis Dov Lior and Yaakov Yosef over their “haskama” to a book called “Torat HaMelech” (“The King’s Torah”).
Gaon hosts a weekly radio show on government-run Voice of Israel Radio / Reshet Bet.
Gaon hinted that the state authorities had made a mistake by placing Torat HaMelech in the spotlight, when it would have gone unnoticed otherwise. “I, for one, would never have reached this book – what interest would I have in Halakhic quotes about morals in wartime? – but how do you explain the fact that for two weeks since I went out and looked for the book, I have been reading it and trying to understand what the fuss is about…?”
Gaon made clear that his criticism of the law enforcement authorities does not mean that he supports the rabbis’ refusal to show up for questioning. From the moment the rabbis were summoned, he opined, they had no option but to comply immediately with it. He cited the famous precept “dina demalchuta dina,” which enjoins Jews to respect the law of the land wherever they might be.
“Without respect for the State, Torah will not be heard in our region either – only the roars, growls and barks of the multitude. Respect for the State in the only glue holding us together, secular and hareidi-religious Jews.”
Were a rabbi called in for questioning over suspicion of theft or bribery, noted Gaon, no one would have said anything. The anger over the arrests erupted because the rabbis were not suspected of a criminal deed but about “philosophical musings,” he explained, and this is “a twilight zone.”
The police could have asked the rabbi same questions they asked him in the interrogation room over the phone, protested Gaon. Not only that, but they took his fingerprint “so that if he picks someone’s pocket, they will have his thumbprint in the offenders’ registry,” he added sarcastically.
“The rule of law is above everything, even above the rabbis, and because it is so strong, exclusive… it should be completely self confident and not just right or just. It should also be smart,” Gaon added.

4. Two Rocket Attacks South of Ashkelon; IDF Bombs Tunnel
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Terrorists in Hamas-controlled Gaza attacked south of Ashkelon Saturday with two rockets, and the Air Force retaliated by bombing a terror tunnel.
No damage or injuries were reported in the missile attacks, and the IDF said the retaliatory bombing scored a direct hit on the tunnel. As in the past, the Defense Ministry did not explain why the terror tunnels, designed to help terrorists infiltrate and carry out kidnappings, are bombed only after missile strikes on Israelis.
Terrorists have attempted to enter Israel via Hamas-built tunnels, under cover of haze when weather conditions cause poor visibility, and by attempting to cut the security fence. Often, mortar and rocket fire towards Israel are employed in an attempt to distract IDF soldiers.
The Hamas and allied terrorists have escalated attacks on Israel the past two weeks after a lull of more than two months. A roadside bomb caused light injuries to one tank soldier on Thursday. The same day, the IDF said it is installing the Windbreaker system, shielding tank against missiles, on another battalion in the brigade that is based near Gaza.
Earlier last week, the Air Force strafed and killed two terrorists as they were preparing to launch rockets n the western Negev.
Hamas officially declared a ceasefire in April but has violated it several times, as in the past.

5. Report: Gaza Terrorists use Google Earth to Pinpoint Targets
by Maayana Miskin
Terrorists in Gaza have a new tool helping them to fire on innocent civilians living in southern Israel – the popular satellite mapping program Google Earth. A group of terrorists from the Al-Aksa Martyrs' Brigades recently described their use of the program to a reporter for Slate Magazine.
“The technology is always improving,” a terrorist calling himself Abu Saif told journalist Sharon Weinberger. “Our struggle started with the Kalashnikov, and then it moved to the suicide bomb, then the locally made rocket, and now the Grad rocket.”
Gaza's rocket launching crews use Google Earth to aim their weapons, Abu Said said. The program is seen as superior to maps because it is more up-to-date and gives precise locations for potential targets.
Terrorists who spoke to Weinberger said they plan to continue with rocket attacks despite the deployment of the Iron Dome system, which shoots short-range rockets out of the air. “The Israelis are using a lot of money for this defense, but during the last rocket attacks, our rockets made it through,” explained Abu Hamza, a senior Islamic Jihad terrorist.
Abu Saif suggested that terrorists were getting their hands on new technologies that would help them continue attacks. “At some point in the future, the Grad will be a thing of the past,” said Abu Saif.
Terrorists are believed to have used a laser-guided missile in a recent attack on a school bus that murdered Israeli teenager Daniel Viflic.
Another way in which terrorists are using modern technology is public relations. They have begun making their own videos to send to the media in hopes of gaining support. One recent video filmed by Abu Saif's group was sent to Al Jazeera.
“In some way, rocket making has almost become an extreme form of reality television,” Weinberger suggested, “with the militants understanding that playing to the cameras is as important as, or perhaps more important than, actually launching rockets.”

6. No Anthem – No Money, According to Proposed Law
by Gil Ronen
MK Alex Miller, Head of the Knesset’s Education, Culture and Sport Committee, is initiating a bill that would make academic institutions that do not play the national anthem in their ceremonies ineligible for state funding.
The bill was conceived after Haifa University and the Hebrew University’s School of Social Work refused to play the national anthem at their latest graduation ceremonies. The refusals were explained by the claim that Arab graduates would be offended by the anthem.
The bill determines that institutes for higher learning that wish to be funded by the state must play the national anthem at every formal ceremony, including commencement ceremonies and other events that have national meaning.
“In view of the fact that the State of Israel funds the institutes for higher learning and invests tens of thousands of shekels in every student, the decision to keep the anthem out of commencement ceremonies is a particularly insolent and unacceptable one.
“This action has nothing to do with academic freedom and expresses the private will of people to use their position and status in order to express a radical political stance that disrespects national symbols. Some hinted that they decided to forgo the playing of HaTikva so as not to offend certain populations. This is a slippery and dangerous slope. What will be the next stage? Will they also remove the national flag?”
The Knesset’s Education Committee will convene Monday for an urgent meeting in which Miller intends to notify the heads of academic institutions of the legislative initiative. “The Council for Higher Learning and the Council of University Heads should realize that there is a limit to [their] disregard and cynicism, he warned. He hinted that if the obligation to play the anthem is written into the universities’ internal rules and enforced, he would forgo the legislation.

7. Netanyahu Extends Recognition to South Sudan
by Gil Ronen
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced at Sunday’s cabinet meeting that Israel recognizes the newly declared country of South Sudan.
“Yesterday, a new state was born, South Sudan,” he said. “I hereby announce that Israel recognizes the Republic of South Sudan. We wish it success. This is a peace-seeking country and we would be pleased to cooperate with it in order to ensure its development and its prosperity. Greetings to South Sudan.”
South Sudan broke off from Sudan following years of persecution of its population -- which is mostly Christian and pagan -- by the Muslim North. Some analysts therefore see it as a natural candidate for diplomatic cooperation with Israel, which also suffers from its Muslim neighbors. South Sudan expressed interest in such ties even before declaring independence.
Netanyahu went on to thank “Israel’s friends” for helping to block the attempted “fly-in” by pro-terrorist activists. He did not name names, but among the countries that acted to stymie the efforts were European Union members that prevented would-be protesters from boarding flights to Israel.
“Last week, we stopped the defiant fly-in against the State of Israel," Netanyahu said. "We acted methodically and successfully in a variety of spheres – diplomacy, intelligence, public security, migration control and others, in order to frustrate this provocation. And indeed the provocation was foiled.”
“The agents provocateurs who tried to enter the State of Israel, a considerable portion of them were stopped at their points of origin, some were stopped at Ben-Gurion International Airport and some, a minority, entered the State of Israel and were detained here.”
“First of all, I would like to thank our many friends around the world who helped us in this matter. I also thank Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, whom I asked to coordinate the effort in Israel and who did so very well. I also thank Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Interior Minister Eli Yishai and his people. Thanks, of course, to Israel Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino and the police, and to the security forces and the Population Authority personnel.”
“I would also like to thank all of the Government officials who worked successfully on this issue," he added. "I would also like to make it clear that Israel will continue to frustrate provocations and attempts to break through our borders, whether by land, sea or air.”
Comment on this story

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced at Sunday’s cabinet meeting that Israel recognizes the newly declared country of South Sudan.
“Yesterday, a new state was born, South Sudan,” he said. “I hereby announce that Israel recognizes the Republic of South Sudan. We wish it success. This is a peace-seeking country and we would be pleased to cooperate with it in order to ensure its development and its prosperity. Greetings to South Sudan.”
South Sudan broke off from Sudan following years of persecution of its population -- which is mostly Christian and pagan -- by the Muslim North. Some analysts therefore see it as a natural candidate for diplomatic cooperation with Israel, which also suffers from its Muslim neighbors. South Sudan expressed interest in such ties even before declaring independence.
Netanyahu went on to thank “Israel’s friends” for helping to block the attempted “fly-in” by pro-terrorist activists. He did not name names, but among the countries that acted to stymie the efforts were European Union members that prevented would-be protesters from boarding flights to Israel.
“Last week, we stopped the defiant fly-in against the State of Israel," Netanyahu said. "We acted methodically and successfully in a variety of spheres – diplomacy, intelligence, public security, migration control and others, in order to frustrate this provocation. And indeed the provocation was foiled.”
“The agents provocateurs who tried to enter the State of Israel, a considerable portion of them were stopped at their points of origin, some were stopped at Ben-Gurion International Airport and some, a minority, entered the State of Israel and were detained here.”

8. Former Security Chief: 'The Rebbe Knew All About ISA Operations'
by David ben Yacov
Yaakov Peri, former chief of the Israeli Security Agency and now head of the Mizrahi-Tfahot Bank Board of Directors, participated in the Tammuz 3rd National Chabad Convention commemorating the passing of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe.
The Chabad Online website brought Peri's description of a meeting he had with the Rebbe. “It was a great privilege for me. I never met anyone like him. He was as familiar as I was with ISA operations. We discussed Palestinian and global terror."
The meeting took place in 1989 in the Rebbe’s home and Peri related that “the Rebbe gave a perfect forecast of global and Arab world events, tying them into the destiny of the Jewish People. He said that Islam knew no limits, and would continue to engage in terrorist activity, and he ended with a blessing for those in our secret service which I conveyed to them upon my return.
"His assessments all came true, matching the forecasts of the Military Intelligence and the ISA. He foresaw that the Cold War between the United States and Russia would soon end, and so it was."
Peri also praised the global Chabad representatives, who bring Judaism to the most remote corners of the Earth, inspired by the Rebbe and his teachings. “The elevation of the soul on its day of passing is like a wedding. This is also the joy inherent in the mission of the Chabad representatives. This is the legacy of the Rebbe,” Peri concluded.

La politique d'assassinat des États-Unis
par Joe Kishore
| |
Le 8 juillet 2011
| |
Plus de cent jours depuis le début de la guerre en
Libye, il apparaît ouvertement que la stratégie des États-Unis et de
l'OTAN vise plus que jamais l'assassinat politique.
Des chasseurs américains et européens ont mené de
nombreux raids aériens contre l'enceinte résidentielle de Mouammar
Kadhafi, tuant ainsi des membres de sa famille. Frustrés par la durée de
l'opération, qui est essentiellement dans une impasse, les stratèges
militaires concentrent de plus en plus leurs efforts à déposer le chef
d'État libyen pour transférer le pouvoir à d'autres forces au sein du
régime. Cela pourrait se faire par une révolte dans le cercle rapproché
de Kadhafi ou, sinon, par l'assassinat.
Plus tôt cette semaine, Mike Turner, un congressiste
républicain et membre du House Armed Services Committee, a parlé d'une
discussion qu'il avait eue avec l'amiral Samuel Locklear dans laquelle
le commandant de l'OTAN en Italie a admis explicitement l'existence
d'une politique d'assassinat. Selon Turner, Locklear « a expliqué que le
mandat de protection de la population était interprété afin de
permettre la déposition de la hiérarchie de commandements de l'armée de
Kadhafi, dont Kadhafi fait lui-même partie ».
Mardi dernier, Stratfor, un groupe de réflexion
étroitement lié à l'appareil d'État américain, a affirmé que les
accusations de crime de guerre portées contre Kadhafi par la Cour pénale
internationale « donnent une impulsion accrue à l'actuelle stratégie de
l'OTAN consistant à utiliser la puissance aérienne pour assassiner le
chef libyen dans le but d'accomplir la mission : un changement de
régime ».
Mercredi dernier, le président américain Barack Obama
a amené sa position lors d'une conférence de presse qui traitait
essentiellement des plans pour d'énormes coupes dans les programmes
sociaux aux États-Unis. Grâce aux actions des États-Unis, a déclaré
Obama, cet « homme qui parrainait des opérations terroristes contre les
États-Unis d'Amérique est maintenant acculé au pied du mur et le noeud
coulant se resserre ». Ce n'était pas la première fois qu'Obama décidait
de faire référence au lynchage en parlant de Kadhafi.
La politique d'assassinat des États-Unis et de
l'OTAN, tout comme la guerre en Libye dans son ensemble, est clairement
illégale, tant sous le droit international que national. En tentant
d'expliquer pourquoi elle ne constituait pas une violation de la loi sur
les pouvoirs de guerre (War Powers Act), qui exige l'autorisation du
Congrès pour toute action militaire, l'administration Obama a soutenu,
de façon ridicule, que le bombardement de la Libye n'atteignait pas le
niveau des « hostilités ». Cependant, si c'est le cas, la politique
d'assassinat apparaît clairement comme la tentative éhontée du meurtre
d'un chef d'État étranger par une puissance impérialiste.
Durant sa conférence de presse, Obama a fait
plusieurs déclarations extraordinaires sur le sujet de la Libye. Il a
écarté les questions constitutionnelles soulevées par la loi sur les
pouvoirs de guerre – promulguée après les révélations que l'État avait
menti et agi criminellement durant la guerre des États-Unis au Vietnam –
les qualifiant de « bavardage sur le processus et sur la consultation
au Congrès, et ainsi de suite ». Le président, supposément un étudiant
du droit constitutionnel, a tourné en dérision ceux qui critiquent
l'illégalité de la guerre en Libye en disant qu'ils faisaient des
« histoires ».
Ensuite, n'ayant même pas d'argument pseudolégal pour
justifier sa politique, Obama s'est rabattu sur l'argument que Kadhafi,
« avant Oussama Ben Laden, a été responsable de la mort de plus
d'Américains qu'à peu près n'importe qui sur la planète ».
Personne des médias n'a jugé bon d'insister pour que
le président revienne sur cette question. Avant la décision de bombarder
la Libye en mars, Kadhafi profitait de relations amicales avec toutes
les grandes puissances, y compris les États-Unis. En 2003, la Libye
avait mis un terme à son programme d'armement nucléaire et biologique et
ce geste avait été louangé par l'administration Bush comme le modèle à
suivre pour l'Iran et la Corée du Nord.
En avril 2009, le fils de Kadhafi, à ce moment
ministre de la Sécurité nationale du pays, a été chaleureusement
accueilli par Hillary Clinton au département d'État. Cet événement a été
suivi deux mois plus tard par une poignée de main, bien couverte dans
les médias, entre Kadhafi et Obama.
Durant cette période, Kadhafi signait d'importants
contrats avec les sociétés pétrolières américaines et européennes.
Ensuite, pour des raisons qui n'ont jamais clairement été expliquées,
mais qui sont clairement liées aux intérêts géostratégiques des
puissances européennes et des États-Unis, la décision fut prise de
renverser le régime de Kadhafi et de mettre en place un régime qui
serait encore plus lié aux intérêts de l'impérialisme.
Après avoir d'abord tenté de déposer le gouvernement
en appuyant les « rebelles » à l'est et à l'ouest, les États-Unis et
l'OTAN adoptent maintenant une méthode plus directe.
Toutefois, la politique d'assassinat des États-Unis
ne se limite pas qu'à Kadhafi. Mercredi dernier, l'administration Obama a
dévoilé sa « Stratégie nationale de contreterrorisme », qui décrit une
stratégie d'« assassinats ciblés » partout où les États-Unis
identifieraient une menace à leurs intérêts. En présentant cette
stratégie, le conseiller au contreterrorisme, John Brennan, a déclaré
que « notre meilleure offensive ne sera pas toujours de déployer de
grandes armées à l'étranger, mais parfois de mettre une pression ciblée,
chirurgicale, sur les groupes qui nous menacent ».
Cette « pression ciblée, chirurgicale », signifie le
recours aux drones téléguidés de l'armée et de la CIA ainsi qu'aux
forces spéciales comme celles qui ont assassiné Ben Laden. Sous
l'administration Obama, les États-Unis ont considérablement intensifié
l'utilisation des drones en Afghanistan, au Pakistan, en Irak, au Yémen
et maintenant en Libye, pour tuer toute personne qui serait qualifiée de
« militant » ou de « terroriste ». Un sixième pays a été ajouté à la
liste la semaine dernière lorsqu'un drone américain a attaqué les
présumés dirigeants d'une organisation affiliée à Al-Qaïda en Somalie.
Dans une période historique précédente, des sections
de la classe dirigeante américaine ont vu les immenses dangers que
posaient de telles politiques. En 1965, après son arrivée au pouvoir,
confronté à la révélation de complots d'assassinat par les États-Unis
dans diverses parties du monde, le président Lyndon Johnson avait
déclaré que les États-Unis « dirigent un satané Meurtre inc. »
En 1976, la commission Church, qui a mené des
enquêtes du Sénat sur les complots d'assassinat de la CIA, avait conclu
qu'une politique d'assassinat « transgresse les préceptes moraux
essentiels à notre mode de vie ». Un ordre exécutif émis dans la foulée
de la commission a interdit explicitement cette pratique.
Évidemment, il n'y a jamais eu d'âge d'or de
l'impérialisme américain. Cependant, il s'est produit un véritable
effondrement de la responsabilité légale et démocratique, même si
celle-ci n'existait qu'en apparence, au cours des 35 dernières années.
Un politique d'assassinat par l'État est le couronnement d'un processus
formé de guerres d'agression illimitées, de torture, de détention sans
accusation, et de l'érosion des droits démocratiques aux États-Unis. Ce
processus est étroitement lié à la transformation des relations sociales
aux États-Unis, à la montée d'une aristocratie financière parasite et à
la croissance extraordinaire de l'inégalité sociale.
Des politiques visant à assassiner Kadhafi en tant
que stratégie militaire auront des conséquences majeures.
L'administration Obama et la classe dirigeante américaine démontrent
qu'ils sont prêts à tuer extrajudiciairement n'importe qui jugé comme
étant un obstacle. Ce n'est pas qu'un avertissement dirigé vers les
organisations politiques ou les chefs d'État étrangers. Il ne fait pas
de doute que le personnel du gouvernement américain utiliserait des
méthodes semblables contre toute opposition importante au pays même.

Tomgram: Barbara Ehrenreich, The Fog of (Robot) War
Last week, William Wan and Peter Finn of the Washington Post
reported
that at least 50 countries have now purchased or developed pilotless
military drones. Recently, the Chinese had more than two dozen models
in some stage of development on display at the Zhuhai Air Show, some of
which they are evidently eager to sell to other countries.
So three cheers for a thoroughly drone-ified world. In my lifetime, I've repeatedly seen advanced weapons systems or mind-boggling technologies of war hailed as near-utopian paths to victory and future peace (just as the atomic bomb was soon after my birth). Include in that the Vietnam-era, "electronic battlefield," President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (aka “Star Wars”), the “smart bombs” and smart missiles of the first Gulf War, and in the twenty-first century, "netcentric warfare," that Rumsfeldian high-tech favorite.
You know the results of this sort of magical thinking about wonder weapons (or technologies) just as well as I do. The atomic bomb led to an almost half-century-long nuclear superpower standoff/nightmare, to nuclear proliferation, and so to the possibility that someday even terrorists might possess such weapons. The electronic battlefield was incapable of staving off defeat in Vietnam. Reagan’s “impermeable” anti-missile shield in space never came even faintly close to making it into the heavens. Those "smart bombs" of the Gulf War proved remarkably dumb, while the 50 "decapitation" strikes the Bush administration launched against Saddam Hussein's regime on the first day of the 2003 invasion of Iraq took out not a single Iraqi leader, but dozens of civilians. And the history of the netcentric military in Iraq is well known. Its "success" sent Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld into retirement and ignominy.
In the same way, robot drones as assassination weapons will prove to be just another weapons system rather than a panacea for American warriors. None of these much-advertised wonder technologies ever turns out to perform as promised, but that fact never stops them, as with drones today, from embedding themselves in our world. From the atomic bomb came a whole nuclear landscape that included the Strategic Air Command, weapons labs, production plants, missile silos, corporate interests, and an enormous world-destroying arsenal (as well as proliferating versions of the same, large and small, across the planet). Nor did the electronic battlefield go away. Quite the opposite -- it came home and entered our everyday world in the form of sensors, cameras, surveillance equipment, and the like, now implanted from our borders to our cities.
Rarely do wonder weapons or wonder technologies disappoint enough to disappear. And those latest wonders, missile- and bomb-armed drones, are now multiplying like so many electronic rabbits. And yet there is always hope. Back in 1997, Barbara Ehrenreich went after the human attraction to violence in her book Blood Rites: Origins and History of the Passions of War. In it, among other brilliant insights, she traced the beginnings of our modern blood rites not to Man, the Aggressor, but to human beings, the prey (in a dangerous early world of predators). Now, in an updated, adapted version of an afterword she did for the British edition of that book, she turns from the origins of war to its end point, suggesting in her usual provocative way that drones and other warrior robotics may, in the end, do us one strange favor: they may finally bring home to us that war is not a human possession, that it is not what we are and must be. (To catch Timothy MacBain’s latest TomCast audio interview in which Ehrenreich discusses the nature of war and how to fight against it, click here, or download it to your iPod here.) Tom

War Without Humans
Modern Blood Rites Revisited
By Barbara Ehrenreich
For a book about the all-too-human “passions of war,” my 1997 work Blood Rites ended on a strangely inhuman note: I suggested that, whatever distinctly human qualities war calls upon -- honor, courage, solidarity, cruelty, and so forth -- it might be useful to stop thinking of war in exclusively human terms. After all, certain species of ants wage war and computers can simulate “wars” that play themselves out on-screen without any human involvement.
More generally, then, we should define war as a self-replicating pattern of activity that may or may not require human participation. In the human case, we know it is capable of spreading geographically and evolving rapidly over time -- qualities that, as I suggested somewhat fancifully, make war a metaphorical successor to the predatory animals that shaped humans into fighters in the first place.
A decade and a half later, these musings do not seem quite so airy and abstract anymore. The trend, at the close of the twentieth century, still seemed to be one of ever more massive human involvement in war -- from armies containing tens of thousands in the sixteenth century, to hundreds of thousands in the nineteenth, and eventually millions in the twentieth century world wars.

O Rio de Janeiro está um CAOS, agora o povo tem que fugir dos bueiros da Light para sobreviver, mas ninguém deixa de fazer piada.
Leiam e riam, mas não pisem nos bueiros da Light se querem viver. Reprodução da Folha de São Paulo  BUM! Buemba da semana: os bueiros-bomba! Os aerobueiros do Rio. O Rio vai mudar de nome pra Bueiros Aires! E Copacabana pra Copacabomba. E Leblon pra Leblomba! E uma menina no Twitter me disse que o Rio tem um novo terrorista: OSAMA BIN LIGHT! E que a Light vai lançar um programa de fidelidade. Pra quem quiser voar pelos bueiros. Milhagem de bueiro!E o Eramos6 pegou cinco tampas de bueiro e fez o logotipo da Olimpíada de 2016. Sabe aquelas cinco rodinhas? Agora são cinco tampas de bueiro. E saiu uma nova expressão: BUM-EIRO! Bum-eiro: buraco que esquenta e explode debaixo das pessoas. Rarará! Parece filme das Tartaruga Ninjas! E pior: "Light pode ter 4.000 bueiros com risco de explodir". Tá se preparando pro Réveillon? .  |

Boa, é a força da internet a favor da democracia.
Reprodução do site Jornal da Tarde (Grupo Estadão.com.br)
 Pedir
audiência com o subprefeito, queimar pneus e interditar ruas para
reivindicar melhorias nos bairros está ficando obsoleto. A arma de
algumas associações de moradores tem sido os blogs. Neles, as entidades
fazem as reivindicações e, principalmente, divulgam quando há descaso
do poder público. O resultado, dizem os blogueiros, é que os problemas
são resolvidos e com mais agilidade. Alguns cidadãos indignados com
questões de bairro têm usado a mesma estratégia.
Depois
de cinco anos à espera de uma solução para o problema de saneamento da
rua onde morava, Robinson Dias criou o blog SOS Rua Brasiluso.
“Comecei o blog como uma forma de desabafo sobre o descaso que
sofríamos, mas deu tanta repercussão que recebemos até a visita de um
secretário municipal que veio ver o problema pessoalmente.”
Lourivaldo
Delfino, do Jardim Tietê, zona leste, criou o blog Riacho dos Machados
para protestar. Segundo ele, os moradores ficaram quatro dias sem
assistência depois de uma grande enchente. Mas, o que era um protesto,
ganhou a internet. “Postando vídeos, relatando o descaso, enviando
links para vereadores, deputados e secretários, as coisas começaram a
acontecer. Os blogs dão muito mais resultado que queimar pneus e fazer
protestos. Não tenho dúvida.”
A
experiência deu tão certo, que Delfino diz já ter criado 56 blogs para
ajudar outras comunidades a resolver suas pendências com órgãos
públicos.
João
Maradei, diretor da AME Jardins, na zona sul, afirma que a entidade
tem um bom canal de comunicação com a Prefeitura. Mas o blog ajuda a
melhorar a relação. “Com publicações que fizemos, conseguimos eliminar
seis pontos de descarte irregular de lixo e entulho. A própria
Subprefeitura de Pinheiros se antecipou ao ver as postagens e as fotos e
resolveu o problema.” Para ele, essa é uma ferramenta que permite uma
relação de maior transparência com o poder público e os associados.
Rosa
Richter, vice-presidente da Amo Jardim Sul I e II, mantém no blog uma
votação para saber se os moradores querem uma subprefeitura exclusiva
para o Morumbi. Quando considerar oportuno, vai apresentar o resultado
para a Prefeitura junto com um projeto para sua criação. “O que percebo
é que os moradores querem esse tipo de informação da comunidade.
Existe uma grande demanda para isso.”
Carne e ossoA
coordenadora do curso de Ciências Sociais da Universidade Metodista,
Luci Praum, afirma que os blogs são uma ferramenta a mais dos
movimentos sociais. “Mas não substituem a organização direta das
pessoas, a presença em carne e osso.”
Em
sua avaliação, essas novas mídias servem para que os movimentos
avaliem qual a melhor estratégia para o objetivo que pretendem atingir.
“Um não exclui o outro.”

è pelo visto povo está fu..., quem mata no Rio de Janeiro tem grandes chances de sair impune.
Realmente muita coisa tem que ser mudada.
Reprodução do jornal Estado de São Paulo on line
 A
Polícia do Rio tem uma dívida acumulada de pelo menos 60 mil
homicídios não esclarecidos, a maioria ocorrida nos últimos dez anos.
Entre as vítimas, 24 mil sequer foram identificadas. Os números foram
levantados pelo Ministério Público do Rio para cumprir a meta
estabelecida pela Estratégia Nacional de Justiça e Segurança Pública (Enasp), do Ministério da Justiça, que pretende elucidar ou arquivar todos os homicídios registrados até 31 dezembro de 2007.
Levantamento da Divisão de Homicídios (DH) mostra que na capital fluminense, que concentra a maioria dos homicídios, a elucidação pouco evoluiu. A divisão, criada em janeiro de 2010, esclareceu em seu primeiro ano de funcionamento 14% dos 1.425 homicídios dolosos.
Em 2007, análise do sociólogo Michel Misse apontava que no mesmo prazo a polícia esclarecia 11% dos assassinatos. Em 1994, o antropólogo Luiz Eduardo Soares apontou que 7,8% destes crimes eram denunciados ao MP com a autoria identificada em dois anos de investigação.
Nesta semana, a população teve mais uma demonstração das limitações da polícia: a investigação sobre o sumiço de Juan Moraes, de 11 anos. Ele desapareceu em 20 de junho durante ação da PM em Nova Iguaçu, mas a busca começou 9 dias depois. Uma testemunha, Wanderson de Assis, de 19, foi preso como traficante e depois ingressou no Programa de Proteção à Testemunha.
A
perícia nas viaturas policiais foi feita uma semana depois e encontrou
sangue. No dia 30, a Polícia Civil anunciou que uma ossada havia sido
achada, mas a perícia disse que era uma menina. Uma semana depois, o
exame de DNA provou que os restos mortais eram de Juan. A perita e o delegado foram afastados e os quatro policiais suspeitos de matar Juan e ocultar o cadáver estão sendo investigados.
O
Rio está perto da média nacional de 8% de elucidação dos crimes,
segundo o Mapa da Violência 2011. Países europeus e os Estados Unidos
trabalham com média de 70% a 80%, embora registrem bem menos crimes do
que o Brasil. Entre os homicídios não solucionados no Rio, o último caso
de grande repercussão foi o da engenheira Patrícia Amieiro, cujo corpo está desaparecido desde 14 de junho de 2008, depois de seu carro ser atingido por disparos de PMs, ainda não julgados.
Gestora do Enasp no Rio, a promotora Renata Bressan
diz que parte do problema é do Judiciário. "Não é só a polícia que é
culpada. Em algumas comarcas, o número de processos ficou alto, porque
juízes se negam a arquivar casos. Quando promotores acumulam muito
trabalho, eles passam a trabalhar por amostragem." Segundo o Conselho
Nacional do Ministério Público, Minas ocupa o segundo lugar no ranking dos homicídios não esclarecidos, com 20 mil casos. São Paulo teria 1,2 mil.
Falhas. A promotora aponta que a má gestão do programa Delegacia
Legal, criado em 2000, contribuiu para o alto número de inquéritos inconclusos. Para cada Delegacia Legal, uma Delegacia de Acervo Cartorário (Deac) era criada para finalizar os inquéritos antigos e permitir que distrito informatizado começasse do zero. Caberia à Deac investigar os casos inconclusos, o que não aconteceu. "Na prática, o acervo cartorário virou um cemitério de inquéritos."

Vice-presidente sofre tentativa de assalto e não registra queixa, péssimo exemplo, demonstra não confiar na polícia.
Ao ler essa matéria me lembrei do Ciro Gomes que disse: "O PMDB é um ajuntamenro de bandidos e o Michel Temer é o chefe dessa quadrilha". Por fim, me lembrei de outro ditado: "Ladrão que rouba ladrão tem 1oo anos de perdão".
Reprodução da Folha de São Paulo
 O vice-presidente da República, Michel Temer (PMDB), foi vítima de uma tentativa de assalto no último dia 1º em São Paulo. O assaltante usava uma arma de brinquedo e, segundo a Vice-Presidência, escapou antes de ser abordado por seguranças.A Folha apurou, contudo, que o assaltante chegou a abrir a porta do motorista do carro de Temer e foi dominado pela segurança. A versão eletrônica da revista "Veja", que divulgou a história ontem, relata a mesma versão acrescentando que a arma chegou a ser colocada na cabeça do motorista. A Vice-Presidência dá outro relato. Afirma que Temer se deslocava em comboio pela avenida Cidade Jardim, na zona oeste. Um homem com uma arma abordou o carro e fugiu quando quatro seguranças do GSI (Gabinete de Segurança Institucional) saíram dos veículos atrás e à frente do de Temer. O homem jogou a arma no chão e fugiu. O comboio seguiu e não foi prestada queixa, já que não houve violência, segundo o Planalto. O destino do assaltante, após ser dominado, é incógnito. Temer, que foi secretário de Segurança de São Paulo duas vezes, nos anos 80 e 90, não quis falar sobre o caso. .  |

Fala sério !!!
Não é a toa que é no Brasil que os bancos mais lucram no mundo, motivo, metem a mão no bolso dos clientes.  O Ministério Público Federal no Rio de Janeiro entrou com ação civil pública contra os bancos Santander, Itaú Unibanco e HSBC para que devolvam mais de R$ 1 bilhão aos seus correntistas. O processo é relativo a cobranças de tarifas bancárias feitas entre 2008 e 2010 que contrariavam norma do Banco Central.Segundo o procurador Claudio Gheventer, uma resolução do BC publicada em 30 de abril de 2008 estabeleceu quais serviços os bancos poderiam cobrar, mas as três instituições continuaram a recolher tarifas que estavam fora da padronização. De acordo com a ação, o Santander cobrou R$ 351,6 milhões de comissão de disponibilização de limite (CDL) de abril de 2008 a junho de 2009. O HSBC cobrou comissão de manutenção de limite de crédito (CMLC, de R$ 7,6 milhões) de dezembro de 2008 a março de 2009. Já o Itaú Unibanco é réu em três ações por tarifas cobradas dos clientes do Unibanco: comissão sobre operações ativas (COA, R$ 100,8 milhões), comissão de manutenção de crédito (CMC, R$ 80,4 milhões) e multa por devolução de cheques (R$ 64 milhões). Segundo o promotor Gheventer, os bancos arrecadaram pouco mais de R$ 500 milhões, mas os processos pedem que o ressarcimento seja o dobro, de acordo com o Código de Defesa do Consumidor. Antes de entrar na Justiça, o MPF enviou recomendações para que os bancos fizessem o ressarcimento integral. Apenas o Santander respondeu, dizendo que devolverá os valores arrecadados a título de Repasse de Encargos de Operação de Crédito - REOC, em um total de R$ 265 milhões. Além dos ressarcimentos, o Ministério Público Federal quer a condenação a indenizações por danos morais coletivos, em valores que variam de R$ 5 milhões a R$ 30 milhões. O HSBC informou que, como o caso ainda está em trâmite judicial, não vai se pronunciar. Santander e Itaú Unibanco foram procurados, mas não responderam à reportagem. .  |

Mas um ótimo artigo que publico no blog sobre a "Cabralândia", a terra das MARACUTAIAS.
Reprodução da Revista Veja on line, Blog Reinaldo Azevedo
 Leiam o que informam Alfredo Junqueira e Luciana Nunes Leal, da Agência Estado. Mais tarde, volto ao tema.
Chamado
de “Pai do PAC” pela presidente Dilma Rousseff, o vice-governador do
Rio de Janeiro, Luiz Fernando Pezão (PMDB), comemorou como uma vitória
sobre os “ministérios públicos” a inauguração do teleférico do
Complexo do Alemão. Em seu discurso, ele também agradeceu às
empreiteiras responsáveis pela obras. Citou, inclusive, a Delta
Construções - empresa que está no centro da pior crise política
enfrentada pelo governador Sérgio Cabral Filho (PMDB) desde que ele
assumiu seu primeiro mandato, em janeiro de 2007.
“Ninguém sabe no Brasil mais do que a senhora (Dilma Rousseff) o que é fazer obra pública neste País”, disse Pezão. “Eu queria aqui dividir esse momento (…) por nós estarmos celebrando de vencer a burocracia toda, de vencer os ministérios públicos, de vencer todas as dificuldades que existem num processo como esse”, argumentou o vice-governador. Pezão comentava as dificuldades de se fazer obras públicas no Brasil quando se declarou vitorioso em relação aos órgãos responsáveis pela “defesa dos direitos sociais e individuais, da ordem jurídica e do regime democrático”, conforme explica a página da Procuradoria Geral da República (PGR) na internet. Braço direito e possível candidato à sucessão de Cabral (PMDB), Pezão também fez questão de agradecer à engenharia brasileira, antes de citar todas as empresas responsáveis “por essa obra extraordinária”. Ao falar da Delta Construções, Pezão poupou Cabral do constrangimento de fazer menções à empresa. Há 20 dias, Cabral pegou um jato emprestado do empresário Eike Batista, do grupo EBX, para ir à Bahia participar dos festejos de aniversário do dono da Delta em um resort. A queda de um helicóptero que servia aos familiares do político e do empreiteiro provocou a morte de sete pessoas e tornou pública a intimidade entre os dois. Cavendish perdeu a mulher, Jordana, e o enteado, Luca. No helicóptero também estava Mariana Noleto, de 20 anos, namorada de Marco Antonio Cabral, filho do governador. Pezão havia acabado de chegar à Sicília, na Itália, para passar férias quando ocorreu o acidente. Pegou o primeiro voo de volta ao Brasil para ajudar o governador a tentar administrar a crise. O governo Cabral já pagou mais de R$ 1 bilhão à Delta, de Cavendish. Pelo menos R$ 207 milhões têm origem em contratos assinados com dispensa de licitação. Eike, que emprestou o avião para Cabral, recebeu R$ 79,2 milhões em benefícios fiscais para a EBX durante a gestão do peemedebista. Para tentar contornar a crise, o governador editou um código de conduta para a alta administração estadual e vem concedendo aumentos e benefícios ao funcionalismo.  |

Essa matéria (abaixo) mostra mais uma vez o quanto é INCOMPEENTE a Secretária de Segurança Pública, a Rede Globo "achou" uma testemunha que a polícia "não achou".
A matéria também prova o quanto o povo NÃO confia na Polícia Civil, "alguém" entregou um áudio do suposto tiroteio a jornalistas, e não a polícia. Em suma, o caso Juan mostrou o quanto BURRA, INCOMPETENTE, e DESPREPARADA é a Secretária de Segurança Pública do Rio de Janeiro. Mas enquanto isso o secretário Beltrame não pode reclamar do salário, todo mês cai na conta dele mais de R$ 50 mil reais por mês (clique aqui e leia).

 RIO - O menino Juan de Moraes foi morto por policiais militares, que esconderam o corpo sob um sofá abandonado e voltam depois para levá-lo. A revelação foi feita por uma dona de casa ao "Jornal Nacional", da TV Globo. O crime aconteceu no dia 20 de junho na favela Danon, em Nova Iguaçu. Segundo a testemunha, cujo nome não foi revelado, havia realmente um traficante no local quando os policiais chegaram.
- Primeiro eles mataram o bandido, e o Juanzinho correu. Eles mataram o Juan e esconderam embaixo de um sofá - disse a testemunha. - Meia hora depois, eles voltaram, pegaram o corpo e botaram numa viatura.
No dia seguinte ao enterro do menino Juan de Moraes, de 11 anos - morto durante confronto entre policiais militares do 20º BPM (Mesquita) e traficantes na comunidade Danon,
em Duque de Caxias - teve início, por volta das 11h, a reconstituição
do crime, que só deve ser concluída no fim da noite desta sexta-feira.
Um áudio de veracidade não comprovada foi entregue a jornalistas por um
morador da comunidade Danon
que não quis se identificar, durante a reconstituição. Na gravação -
que o morador afirma ter sido feita no dia do suposto tiroteio, quando
estava escondido atrás de um muro - é possível ouvir muitos tiros, de
diferentes calibres.
Depois de o áudio ter sido entregue aos repórteres que cobriam a reconstituição do crime, outra pessoa não identificada,
que afirmou ser traficante, disse ter ocorrido uma intensa troca de
tiros no dia da operação policial. Peritos que vistoriaram o local do
crime, no entanto, encontraram vestígios de que apenas policiais teriam
atirado no dia da operação. A assessoria de imprensa da Polícia Civil
afirma ter tomado conhecimento do áudio por jornalistas, e divulgará
apenas neste sábado que medidas serão adotadas a respeito da gravação.

O Crea-RJ vistoriou 21 bueiros ontem,e disse que sete estão pestes a explodir a qualquer hora.
Em outras palavras "1", de cada 3 bueiros no Rio de Janeiro, podemos dizer que um está prestes a explodir. Em outras palavras "2", a cada 3 bueiros que pisamos, um pode nos fuder. E aí ? O que as autoridades públicas estão fazendo ?
ATENÇÃO: Não pise em bueiros da light, deixe para pisar na cabeça dos políticos !!!
Reprodução da Folha de São Paulo
 Ao menos sete bueiros no centro do Rio podem explodir a qualquer momento. A constatação é do Crea-RJ (Conselho Regional de Engenharia, Arquitetura e Agronomia do Rio de Janeiro), que vistoriou ontem 21 bueiros.A fiscalização do órgão avaliou que, em sete deles, existe "100% de chance de ocorrer uma explosão" caso alguma centelha seja acesa. "Para que uma explosão ocorra é necessário oxigênio, gás e um elemento que faça a ignição, que pode ser um fósforo ou um curto-circuito.A presença de 5% a 15% de gás já oferece risco", disse o engenheiro Luiz Cosenza, da comissão de análise e prevenção de acidentes do Crea. Segundo o órgão, cinco dos bueiros com problemas ficam na rua Uruguaiana, entre a rua Sete de Setembro e a rua da Alfândega. Os outros dois ficam nas ruas da Assembleia e Sete de Setembro. A CEG, concessionária local fornecedora de gás, admitiu responsabilidade na explosão de quatro bueiros no início da semana, que interditou parte da rua da Assembleia e deixou dois feridos. Em reunião na tarde de ontem, o prefeito Eduardo Paes (PMDB) pediu que a CEG assine um TAC (Termo de Ajustamento de Conduta) enquanto a rede subterrânea não for modernizada. Segundo o prefeito, a companhia reluta em fazer o mesmo que a Light, que se comprometeu a pagar multa de R$ 100 mil por bueiro que venha a explodir. Enquanto as concessionárias não eliminam o perigo de explosões, a prefeitura anunciou que vai contratar uma empresa para fazer o monitoramento constante das galerias da cidade, a fim de que os riscos sejam conhecidos. "A agência [Aneel (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica)] está meio ausente", afirma Paes. .  |

 RIO
- As fitas vermelhas amarradas em antenas de carros, um dos símbolos
do movimento salarial dos bombeiros, estão proibidas nos quartéis. A
decisão do comando do Corpo de Bombeiros foi publicada, na
quinta-feira, no boletim interno da corporação.
Além das fitinhas, também está proibida a entrada em qualquer estacionamento das unidades do Corpo de Bombeiros de veículos com banners,
adesivos, bandeiras, pinturas, faixas, adereços, adornos ou acessórios
que façam referência "explícita ou implícita aos fatos ocorridos
durante movimentos reivindicatórios por melhorias de vencimentos e de condições de trabalho", segundo o texto do boletim interno.
O
comandante-geral do Corpo de Bombeiros, coronel Sérgio Simões, também
mandou advertir 63 cabos bombeiros por terem cantado com excessivo
fervor o hino da corporação durante uma solenidade de formatura , na
quinta-feira, num quartel de Guadalupe. Os bombeiros teriam sido
especialmente enfáticos ao cantar o trecho "Nenhum passo daremos atrás",
verso que tinha virado uma espécie de lema no período das
reivindicações.
De acordo com a Secretaria estadual de Defesa Civil, os bombeiros advertidos pelo comandante-geral durante a cerimônia já entregaram um memorando com suas defesas. Dentro de 20 dias, será decidido se os militares serão punidos administrativamente.
O
trecho do hino é o mesmo que virou lema das manifestações por aumento
de salários, iniciado por guarda-vidas da corporação em abril. Quem circulou pelo Centro do Rio entre maio e junho
teve chance de ouvir repetidas vezes o verso, que virou palavra de
ordem nas escadarias da Assembleia Legislativa do Rio, onde os
manifestantes ficaram acampados. O movimento culminou na prisão de 439
bombeiros por uma semana por causa da invasão do Quartel Central, mês
passado na Praça da República.
Desta
vez, o trecho cantado fora do tom gerou constrangimento aos oficiais
do Curso Superior de Comando e alguns deles deixaram a cerimônia antes do fim. Apesar da ousadia, a Banda Sinfônica
do Corpo de Bombeiros, que executava a melodia, não interrompeu a
música. A formatura havia ocorrido no mesmo dia em que o governador
Sérgio Cabral anunciara a concessão de auxílio-transporte e
gratificações para parte dos bombeiros militares.

Temos visto que o Prefeito Eduardo Paes não economiza dinheiro para as escolas de samba no Rio de Janeiro, uma pena que a educação e a saúde não tenham a mesma ATENÇÃO.
O curioso da matéria abaixo é que o secretário de Conservação e Serviços Públicos da Prefeitura, Carlos Roberto Osório, que assinou o termo de doação do terreno para a Império Serrano, é "imperiano". Sabe como é, esse tal Carlos Osório acaba de garantir um bom reduto eleitoal. Esse é o Rio de Janeiro do Eduardo Paes, sem mais.

 O
Secretário de Conservação e Serviços Públicos da Prefeitura, Carlos
Roberto Osório, assinou, nesta sexta-feira, o termo de doação do
terreno aos fundos da quadra de ensaios do Império Serrano. Com aproximadamente mil metros quadrados, o local servirá de estacionamento e entrada vip aos frequentadores da escola.O Secretário de Conservação e Serviços Públicos da Prefeitura, Carlos Roberto Osório, que é imperiano e recebeu uma camisa oficial da escola de presente, falou a respeito da doação: "É um espaço que com certeza vai ser muito útil para o Império Serrano, e por isso o Prefeito ficou sensibilizado com o pedido do Átila e resolvemos ajudar a escola, liberando também a verba para reforma da quadra". A festa no Botequim do Império vai ter a presença especial do Grupo Auê, de bastante sucesso nas Zonas Norte e Oeste, com muito samba de raiz, alegrando a galera bonita que acompanha o pagode bem tocado dessa rapaziada. Os trabalhos serão abertos pelos grupos Pura Delícia e Quinta Essência. .  |

Não se sabe ao certo se foi um atentado, testemunhas disseram que foi um assalto.
Espero que a polícia investigue, e que prenda esses vagabundos que atiraram no jornalista. Por outro lado, se tiver sido um atentado por causa das denúncias que o jornalista faz em seu site o caso é muito mais GRAVE. Que PORRA é essa ? Agora esses políticos ladrões estão derrubando a bala quem lhe faz críticas e denúncias ?
A conferir.

 A
Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro apura se um jornalista que levou três
tiros na última quarta-feira (6), em Vassouras, na região Sul
Fluminense, tenha sofrido um atentado.
Proprietário do site Vassourasnanet que faz denúncias contra políticos na região, Mário Randolfo foi baleado no rosto, ombro e na mão quando chegava em casa.
Segundo relato de uma testemunha, o autor dos disparos foi um homem que disse ao jornalista que pretendia assaltá-lo. A hipótese de atentado, no entanto, não é descartada em razão da atividade de Randolfo.
O jornalista está internado no Hospital Universitário do município e, segundo a polícia, corre risco de morte.
