Breaking The Spell: Modern Revolutionary Theory

In representative democracy people abdicate their power to elected officials. The candidates’ stated policies are limited to a few vague generalities, and once they are elected there is little control over their actual decisions on hundreds of issues – apart from the feeble threat of changing one’s vote, a few years later, to some equally uncontrollable rival politician. Representatives are dependent on the wealthy for bribes and campaign contributions; they are subordinate to the owners of the mass media, who decide which issues get the publicity; and they are almost as ignorant and powerless as the general public regarding many important matters that are determined by unelected bureaucrats and independent agencies. Overt dictators may sometimes be overthrown, but the real rulers in “democratic” regimes, the tiny minority who own or control virtually everything, are never voted in and never voted out. Most people don’t even know who they are.

In the name of realism, reformists limit themselves to pursuing “winnable” objectives, yet even when they win some little adjustment in the system it is usually offset by some other development at another level. This doesn’t mean that reforms are irrelevant, merely that they are insufficient. We have to keep resisting particular evils, but we also have to recognize that the system will keep generating new ones until we put an end to it. To suppose that a series of reforms will eventually add up to a qualitative change is like thinking we can get across a ten-foot chasm by a series of one-foot hops.

We know that antiquated styles of protest-marches, hand held signs, and gatherings are now powerless to effect real change because they have become such a predictable part of the status quo. We know that post-Marxist jargon is off-putting because it really is a language of mere academic dispute, not a weapon capable of undermining systems of control. We know that all the infighting, splinter groups and endless quarrels over ephemeral theories can never effect any real change in the world we experience from day to day. We know that no matter who is in office, what laws are on the books, what “ism”s the intellectuals march under, the content of our lives will remain the same. And our boredom is proof that these “politics” are not the key to any real transformation of life.

However, in truth there is nothing more important than politics. NOT the politics of American “democracy” and law, of who is elected state legislator to sign the same bills and perpetuate the same system. Not the politics of the “I got involved with the radical left because I enjoy quibbling over trivial details and writing rhetorically about an unreachable utopia” anarchists. Not the politics of any leader or ideology that demands that we make sacrifices for “the cause.” But the politics of our everyday lives. When we separate politics from the immediate, everyday experiences of individual men and women, it becomes completely irrelevant. Indeed, it becomes the private domain of wealthy, comfortable intellectuals, who can trouble themselves with such dreary, theoretical things. When we involve ourselves in politics out of a sense of obligation, and make political action into a dull responsibility rather than an exciting game that is worthwhile for its own sake, we scare away people whose lives are already far too dull for any more tedium. When we make politics into a lifeless thing, a joyless thing, a dreadful responsibility, it becomes just another weight upon people, rather than a means to lift weight from people. And thus we ruin the idea of politics for the people to whom it should be most important. For everyone has a stake in considering their lives, in asking themselves what they want out of life and how they can get it. But politics often look to us like a miserable, self-referential, pointless middle class/bohemian game, a game with no relevance to the real lives we are living out.

What should be political? Whether we enjoy what we do to get food and shelter. Whether we feel like our daily interactions with our friends, neighbors, and coworkers are fulfilling. Whether we have the opportunity to live each day the way we desire to. And “politics” should consist not of merely discussing these questions, but of acting directly to improve our lives in the immediate present. Acting in a way that is itself entertaining, exciting, joyous – because political action that is tedious, tiresome, and oppressive can only perpetuate tedium, fatigue, and oppression in our lives. No more time should be wasted debating over issues that will be irrelevant when we must go to work again the next day. No more predictable ritual protests that the authorities know all too well how to deal with; clearly, those won’t get us anywhere. Never again shall we “sacrifice ourselves for the cause.” For happiness in our own lives and the lives of our fellows, must be our cause!

what is skype?

Skype (pronounced /’skaip/) is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. Calls to other users of the service and, in some countries, to free-of-charge numbers, are free, while calls to other landlines and mobile phones can be made for a fee. Additional features include instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing.

Skype was written by Estonia-based developers Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu and Jaan Tallinn, who had also originally developed Kazaa.[1] The Skype Group, founded by Swedish-born entrepreneur Niklas Zennström and the Dane Janus Friis, has its headquarters in Luxembourg, with offices in London, Tallinn, Tartu, Stockholm, Prague,[2] and San Jose, California. One of the initial names for the project was “Sky peer-to-peer”, which was then abbreviated to “Skyper”. However, some of the domain names associated with “Skyper” were already taken. Dropping the final “r” left the current title “Skype”, for which domain names were available.[3]

The company was acquired by eBay in September 2005 for $2.6 billion.[4] eBay has written Skype down to $1.7 billion on its books and announced a public stock offering for 2010 to spin Skype off as a separate company.[5] Some media outlets have characterized the proposed sale and ongoing provision of Skype as being under threat, because of a software licensing dispute with the original creators.[6][7] On September 1, 2009, a group of investors led by Silver Lake bought 65% of Skype for $1.9 billion.[8][9] Later this amount was adjusted when eBay and the new investors settled a lawsuit that had been brought by a holding company set up by the original founders. It turned out that the holding company had always owned the underlying peer-to-peer technology. The lawsuit was eventually settled with ownership being divided with the new investors owning 56%, the original founders owning 14% and eBay retaining 30%

Mr Miko’s endorsment of a politically natured video through a website endorsing cultural sponsorship, especially a video where he stands to profit as producer is questionable in itself.

It is however an open attempt to suppress the truth of this video by an organization which claimes it promotes FYROMs culture.

The minimal footage that was included in this video was not a reproduction of the movies nor did anyone involved benefit financially in any way shape or form. Utilizing the Freedom of Speech Act, this video is a review of the two movies in question highlighted by existing events and policies that exposed the propagandistic content of both movies.

All offending content has been removed.

To withmacedonia.org

Truth will not be gagged.

The fraud:

A Name is a Name is a film conceived and developed by Icelander Sigurjon Einarsson. Though he now lives in Norway working with rock and roll artists, Sigurjon is a filmmaker by profession.

A cross between a documentary and a feature film, A Name is a Name is instead, a classic road film’, made largely on the proverbial and literal road over a period of seven months in the Republic of Macedonia.

At its heart, the film is about a people who call themselves Macedonians and what it means to them to be known as such.

The Truth

A Name is a Name and Ellada the other Greece are films conceived and developed by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and their collaborators for the pure purpose of deceiving the American public and the international community by Demonizing the Greeks and making victims of themselves.

The Film Fund of FYROM which operates with close cooperation and support from the Government of FYROM, pseudo academics and lobbyists have been dispatched around the world as part of a propagandistic push to wrest the historical name of Macedonia away from the indigenous Macedonians of Greece who can link to it in every way, in order to fulfill territorial claims and push an irredentist agenda.

A documentary implies that there is truth to what is documented yet no such documentation exists. Ellada The other Greece beyond assumptions and propaganda holds no valid or credible documentation of the existence of Nick Stoyan or of the events herein. A name is a name is a biased one sided view that is assumptive in its content and biased in its presentation.

Both videos disregard the cultural link, and 4000 year old history of the Macedonians of Greece focusing only on what it means for them to achieve the theft of the name.

It is synonymous to a criminal who plays the victim card by showing us what it would mean to him to own your car, and demonizing you, the owner for not allowing him to steal it with your blessing.

“In the Domain of The King” – Rodney Berry 2004

Did you know? In 1977, there were37 Elvis impersonators in the world. By 1993, there were 48,000. At this rate, by 2010, one in every three people will be an Elvis impersonator.

I was a little frightened when I first read it, but having subsequently lived through it all and seen its effects on my immediate family and friends, it wasnt really so bad as all that. It is in the nature of prophesies to be simple and perhaps a little naïve. If they had included the realities as we experienced them in our own lives at the time, perhaps the proclamation would have lacked resonance.

If they had predicted the mass hysteria as governments, sometimes violently, attempted to control this strange kind of rebellion (if it was rebellion).

If they saw my son, Spike, as he, in the space of just a few weeks, went from youthful curiosity to deep obsession. If they saw his complex dual identity evolve and fragment. If they saw the gatherings and disputes, the alliances and schisms.

If they saw how the distinctions recursively split and redefined. the different Elvis personas through which one passed in the course of ones life. The baby Elvis who awakened in the womb to the sound of a gospel choir. Vigorous young Elvis who played guitar and sang through a cloud of pheromones. Soldier Elvis who answered the call of duty and got a haircut. Fat, tragic and drug-dependent Elvis (perhaps the ultimate Elvis impersonator) who finally left his fragile body to float free in the dreams of the world.

The ones who were not really Elvis impersonators, but chose to impersonate Elvis impersonators. The Elvis impersonators who chose to impersonate non-impersonators or even ones who impersonated the former impersonators of impersonaters. More types emerged than one could even begin to classify or name.

The roar of the breaking wave, its energy dispersing as it diffused and divided, became a hiss of foam receding across the sand. In its wake, a collection of stranded creatures scuttling for shelter amongst the debris. And Spike? Hes fine, sitting here at breakfast like any normal seventeen year old, except for the creepy way he says Thankyer very much!

For the other two thirds of us, life comes down to one burning question doesnt it? If I am not Elvis, then who am I?

Background

Technology and many other social phenomena do not easily translate to simple lines on a graph. The future will be experienced as a qualitative thing by individual people. The kinds of population (rich, poor, happy, sad) and the kinds of technology are what will matter.

This piece is presented as a malfunctioning museum exhibit from some time after the great Elvis plague of 2010. By that time, memetic or cultural viruses have developed beyond what we see now and human hearts and minds are a battlefield. Flakey old technologies like augmented reality can only be shown under emulation

Augmented reality is by then an old technology and no longer anything special, certainly not such a clunky antiquated device as used in this piece. Personally, I think the terms virtual and reality are misleading and get in the way of more interesting ways to use this kind of technology. I prefer to think about what matters or what has meaning.

Technology

While still largely the domain of computer programmers, augmented reality is edging its way toward becoming a viable medium for artists and designers. Tools will soon become available to allow us to make our own works without having to actually program the thing from scratch.

This piece uses a camera to find the positions of special markers then tells a 3D modeling package where they are in relation to the camera. This lets us mix the computer generated and video camera image together to make a mixed reality in our field of vision. A video mixer lets the piece occasionally mess with the real image as well crating an even less secure image. The teething troubles of an infant technology, conveniently for me, echo the behaviours of the same technology in its future senility precariously sustained by layers of simulation.

Cardozo Cyberlaw Society: E-Discovering America, 5 of 7

Electronic Discovery in Practice: Discovery and ethics in the technology era

A lecture presented by the Cardozo Cyberlaw Society, featuring Mr. Paul W. Garrity, Partner, Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, on Columbus Day, Monday, October 8, 2007.

Technology has been changing the way law is practiced. It can increase efficiency, allow for greater flexibility and provides many other benefits. It also can add much complexity to the process of discovery. Law firms are learning how to deal with the massive amount of work sifting through potentially terabytes of data, looking for what they must provide their opponents, while screening out material that is privileged. In addition, lawyers often face related questions, both technical and ethical:
– What do you do if your opponent sends you an email with metadata that reveals confidential information?
– Who should bear the cost of discovery when it pertains to searching and restoring data from 1980, on ancient storage medium?
– What issues are involved in outsourcing e-discovery to specialized firms?

Every attorney must recognize these issues when they arise – ignoring them comes at the peril of malpractice.

Mr. Garrity, a partner at Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, is an expert on legal technology issues. He has litigated disputes involving trademark infringement, patent infringement, false advertising, trade secrets, copyright infringement, the DMCA, dilution, trade dress, parallel imports and counterfeiting before various federal courts and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Mr. Garrity has wide-ranging experience in Internet-related matters, including domain name arbitration proceedings and disputes involving the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, cybersquatting, “phishing,” meta-tagging, and keyword advertising. He has lectured extensively on discovery and technology.
