A couple of days ago I’ve seen “An African Election“, a documentary movie of the 2008 Presidentual elections in Ghana by Jarreth Merz. The film offers an unusually deep insight into political processes in central Africa and fondly reminded me of “Heart of Darkness“.
I warmly recommend to watch Jarreth’s impressive Film.
In the beginning there was only darkness, water, and the great god Bumba. One day Bumba, in pain from a stomach ache, vomited up the sun. The sun dried up some of the water, leaving land. Still in pain, Bumba vomited up the moon, the stars, and then some animals: the leopard, the crocodile, the turtle, and, finally, some men, one of whom, Yoko Lima was white like Bumba.
Anticensorship in the Network Infrastructure: Watch out for Telex.
Telex is a new approach to circumventing Internet censorship that is intended to help citizens of repressive governments freely access online services and information. The main idea behind Telex is to place anticensorship technology into the Internet’s core network infrastructure, through cooperation from large ISPs. Telex is markedly different from past anticensorship systems, making it easy to distribute and very difficult to detect and block.
What makes Telex different from previous approaches:
Telex operates in the network infrastructure — at any ISP between the censor’s network and non-blocked portions of the Internet — rather than at network end points. This approach, which we call “end-to-middle” proxying, can make the system robust against countermeasures (such as blocking) by the censor.
Telex focuses on avoiding detection by the censor. That is, it allows a user to circumvent a censor without alerting the censor to the act of circumvention. It complements services like Tor (which focus on hiding with whom the user is attempting to communicate instead of that that the user is attempting to have an anonymous conversation) rather than replacing them.
Telex employs a form of deep-packet inspection — a technology sometimes used to censor communication — and repurposes it to circumvent censorship.
Other systems require distributing secrets, such as encryption keys or IP addresses, to individual users. If the censor discovers these secrets, it can block the system. With Telex, there are no secrets that need to be communicated to users in advance, only the publicly available client software.
Telex can provide a state-level response to state-level censorship. We envision that friendly countries would create incentives for ISPs to deploy Telex.
Telepolis schreibt: “Nun gab der frühere EMI-Manager Douglas C. Merrill auf der CA World Expo in Sydney zu, dass eigene Studien seines ehemaligen Arbeitgebers ergaben, dass Personen, die über P2P-Dienste unlizenziert Musik herunterluden auch die besten Kunden von iTunes waren. Filesharing sieht er deshalb als “try-before-you-buy marketing”, für das die Musikindustrie nicht einmal zahlen müsse.” … – Wen wundert’s? Ach ja stimmt: Sony, EMI und die ganze Bande haben es immer noch nicht begriffen.
It drives me insane when people argue their unscrupulousity and ignorance by not wanting to believe in negativity and the bad, instead of reflecting about facts and coherence! – الله أكبر
Es macht mich krank, wenn Menschen ihre Unreflektiert- und Unwissenheit damit argumentieren nicht an das Schlechte und Negative glauben zu wollen, anstatt über Fakten und Zusammenhänge nachzudenken! – الله أكبر
“Exterminate all the Brutes” is a quote from the famous book “Heart of Darkness” by Joseph Conrad, a great writer who invented and described an exemplary character “Colonel Kurtz“, a radical imperialist and “Nigger hater”, imposing western doctrines and establishing structures to exploit under-developed countries’ resources.
The character was later picked up by Francis Ford Coppola and fondly influenced the story of “Apocalypse Now” the role of Marlon Brando, a “jet d’oeuvre” and histrorical film documentary and “anti-war” film in Vietnam.
In our days it’s is even worse. – Instead of exploiting in a straight and honest way, using the language of domination and repression, neo-imperialism appears in the cloak of development aid and salvation. Through disinformation and continuous feeding of stereotypes like the poor, starving black children in Africa, massive amounts of donations are abused and controlled to introduce neo-liberal structures of economical exploitation. The prime examples are: Alloil drilling companies (under the argument of producing “green power”, they slaughter african cultures), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (which undertakes pharma experiments with humans, arguing to make humanity healthier), Agricultural companies (e.g. Monsanto, testing their genetically manipulated seeds on soils they exploit. To generate sterile seeds, which can’t be used after harvesting, but need to be re-bought every season and can’t be reproduced, as they are patented), development aid companies such as “Save the Children” and “World Food Programme” massive amounts of donations and United Nations Development funds are abused and returned into the structures of western economies.
This brood of exploitation and hatred against less developed races needs to be extinguished and exterminated. The heteronomous circles of deception and self-distruction has to be broke-up. Third world cultures deserve the possibility to establish and rule their own future with integrity and the respect of human rights.
