Living in Peru : your everyday companion

So the operation ran smoothly?

In spite of the death of two police officers, the mission was successful. Getting back the Pomac dry wood forest after twenty years is a miracle and a gift to Peru. No one thought it possible to get it back.

Police intelligence reports indicate that there were armed individuals in the area. Wouldn’t it have been better to delay the operation?

Those who committed the crime were not the people per say but rather hired hit men. The land was initially invaded by the poor from Chota, and then it was developed in a land deal. Who would have thought they would hire criminals? I also have information which states that there was a group of police officers with guns and AKM misiles but that the vastness of the territory rendered them useless. The Public Ministry even said it was not a good idea to go in with weapons.  Though it is unfortunate that the lives of two police officers were lost in the end what was done was what was necessary, hopefully the third wounded officer will be able to recuperate.     

The food and water supplies did not arrive on time, communication was not efficient…

There were many attempts made but there was also fear. Different businesses promised to lend machinery for the operation but pulled out in the end because they were afraid of demonstrators who in the past have been known to through rocks or shoots. What the protesters wanted was to keep the police from fulfilling their duty. That there were missteps, of course there were.

Which were?

The supplies offered by the Ministry of the Environment, which did not reach everybody even though there was an outreach program aimed at giving psychological help to people. We have been offering to help relocate them since 2003. It is said that the police chief was not present, for goodness sake; the person responsible for this operation is a general who the minister put in charge and whose plan was followed. If there were missteps then that was their source. In regard to the lack of communication, excuse me that is the way things are here in Peru, there is a lack of formality and unfortunately it is something we always realize after the fact. This leaves a lesson to be learned.

Will the police be armed now?

Due to recent events the police will be armed, not to kill, and if there was the necessity to shoot they would aim for the legs. What would have happened if it was one of the invaders who was killed? We would have a list of complaints and criticisms a mile long. They were criminals hired by someone. We have someone in custody and have received information leaking the names of those responsible. We will soon bring the culprits to justice. There were lawyers and other professionals present at the eviction, they refused to leave because the amount invested in the land is quite high.

Then how was the police brought in having known that…

The police did not know they would be facing criminals, the guy managed to kill someone. That had never happened before in the history of the nation when it came to an eviction.

Things are getting quite heated in Congress.

The situation is being exploited from a political stand point. There hasn’t been a cold analysis of the facts but rather a heated response, which is the nature of our democracy. On Tuesday we will head to Congress and try to explain and display what happened. If the Congressmen and women know the Pomac forest they will understand the effort which was put into the operation. 
  
Congressmen, including a member of the Apra, state that 18 police officers have died during Minister Hernani administration and that he has dedicated most of his efforts to institutional affairs. 

Excuse me, how is it possible to predict an ambush.

Is General Hernani a good minister?

He tries to do the best he can, he will gain the public’s trust with time. The police’s problem is that there still remain antagonistic feelings between the different departments. Hernani has been advised to build up the bonds of trust between the state police, the investigations department and the National Guard. Let’s give him time and see.

The former director of the PNP said there was no direction or planning.

When Salazar was calling the shots Hernani criticized him. Now it is Salazar who criticizes Hernani, it’s a vicious cycle which will continue. This country needs to grow up. I ask for calm.

Does Apra member, Congressman Edgar Nuñez also question the actions which took place?

He has his own point of view which must be respected but does not help the situation at the moment. Nuñez is part of the Apra and he must help his government.

What result do you think will come from minister Hernani’s administration?

The ‘Marcas’ is Lima have pretty much been eradicated, drug smugglers have been hit hard. Social security is not an issue of today. Let it not be said that they dedicated themselves only to research because Hernani’s proposal is set to unify investigation efforts and social security in each police station to strengthen networking between stations in different districts.

The people’s defense detects 134 unresolved conflicts in Peru and the amount of conflicts actually resolved is very low, it only reaches 18. How will you handle those while facing the crisis?

Since I have been in office there have been no conflicts. Protests are often valid, due to the absence of the state or of a fair dialogue. I have traveled 11 times in the past 100 days of my regime. We have the bad habit here of over burdening the PCM when problems overflow even though the issues brought to the table should really be resolved by the ministries.
 
Times will be difficult, people will be let go, and there will be protests. Are you thinking that far ahead?

Of course we have considered that scenario. I have had meetings with the CGTP, in spite of all that is going on; Peru is in a good position to face the crisis. The procedure we must follow is that of open dialogue and appraisal on site. We have recently solved a serious problem in Ayacucho involving the gas company. Now, I am not traveling around the country delivering empty threats. We will not allow people throwing stones or blocking roads, civil disobedience or anarchy to win. We have drawn up an anti-crisis plan which involves investment in infrastructure which will help lower unemployment. We have met with the unions, with ADEX, they have come up with a proposal and that will mean a compromise will be made so that less people are let go.   

Which proposals of ADEX’s will you enforce?

We will reduce the fuel fund debt. Last Thursday almost 500 million soles were paid. In the coming days gas prices will fall and people will feel it. I’d rather not get ahead of myself but income tax will be able to be paid off in installments. There will be a campaign to increase the purchase of Peruvian products. 

How many jobs will be lost this year?

There aren’t real figures but we are growing between 5, 5 and 6%. That means there will be employment. Workers have not been let go yet in the magnitude which is anticipated. The floor is level for now.

The prices of products made from wheat are not decreasing. Is there a monopoly?

They will soon decrease. We are speaking to flour mills and with other business owners. We have spoken to the president and there are compromises which must be met.

 Social development programs have yet to become efficient…

We have seen the flaws; every program works on their own and we must make them come together. We are working hard to get help to those truly in need and we have managed to reach marginal urban areas. In Peru 250 thousand families are being helped and my goal for 2009 is for that number to rise to 800 thousand families all over the country. That is achieved by better distributing the budget available. I want to clear up what has been said about teenage girls getting pregnant in order to receive money from the Juntos project, that statement is false. Our studies have proven that it is.

What was said and later recanted about the Cabinet’s pay raise createda lot of buzz.

It painted us in a bad light because this is not a Cabinet which goes back on its word. It was done at a bad time. The president had good intentions and none of the ministers said no, in the end the blame was on everyone.

Irish men and women to become slaves?

Catholic Church "child death rape camps" in Ireland - The mind murder machine.

Ireland's traditionalist and totalitarian tendencies revealed.

Irish Times 21st May, Page7: Fianna Fail's Minister Martin Mansergh
(son of Nicholas  Mansergh, knight of the realm), recently used Irish
Parliamentary Privilege as his shield when he commented that the Ladies
and Gentlemen of the Irish Judiciary were "unseemly gleeful" with
over-literal or close reasoning when it comes to technicalities. His
criticism may have also been interpreted as a criticism of broad legal
interpretations. Was it at the lower and/or upper judicial body? No-one
knows just what he was at. Let him explain.

It was reported he intimated that "some" Judges, when it comes to
spirit of law, are applying double standards of personal legal
applicative tendency and legal logic theory interpretation (broadly
called interpreting the spirit of legal provisions and Acts) as between
technical defects to applications of the European Arrest Warrant, but
yet they do not apply the same or consistent interpretation of such
spirit in other domestic  legislation. He also reminded the Dail about
past "impeachments" and "capricious judges". Now that is very
serious.....Don't you think.

There are many examples of such parliamentary obtuse obliqué on judicial findings in many different state machinations across Republican State
histories. So while from one perspective his comments could plausibly
be viewed as business as usual, in light of these extraordinary times
it is believed his utterances are worth comment.

Is the Irish body judiciary the veiled sword of the Executive? Is the
judiciary behaving in a rather irregular manner? Worse than that is 
the Fianna Fail Minister suggesting their application of and 
interpretation of the spirit of law contradicts Cabinet policy on legal
spirit and technicalities? On the one hand you have the principle of
the Separation of State, on the other the principle of Parliamentary
Privilege. The Minister is obviously not subverting in content or
delivery. So, what's the problem with the few inches of copy in the
Irish Times this week?

The Parliament and the Senate should not be the Executive's plaything
Parlours. The traditionalist power asymmetric of the Irish State is
traditionally Executive centered. In a word, traditionalism. The
concentration of power tendency has always been advantageous to
executive actors who seem beyond and above the power reach of the
Nation's Sovereign Body, Parliament. So tell us something we do not
know.

What is the minister's politicking tactic? By obtuse obliqué he blew hot
air across the (Four) Courts sails to have their legal horizon line
adjusted?  This would raise a professional mans antennae and make him
listen up. Many years ago itinerant travelling ladies in Swinford, living in dire conditions used to prick their babies with a needle when begging so as
to make them cry hysterically, thus attempting to coerce the sympathy
of passers by. Every actor was corrupted. Cabinet Ministers do not rule
in an Irish State of Nature.....no? The coarse lack of sensibility of
the Minister's outburst is bad form, debasing the bodies of State. Such
an engagement should have occurred within formally dedicated Government structures and normal systems of State administration available for review under Freedom of Information legislation. So why the big public gesture by the honorable gentleman?

Looking at the context around the minister's outburst, the Executive
and the Department of Education/Finance mandarins must have been very annoyed over the recent Supreme Court findings regarding the child
abuse case costs, where due to the exceptional circumstances of the
case and "the complexities of the state-church-school relationship",
the State failed to get its costs. The complex church-State personality
driven relationship "complex", is indeed complicated. The shame of the
State to pursue the costs in the child sex abuse case speaks for
itself. The legislative framework effectively nullifies the State from
responsibility for children in church managed schools (where all school
board meetings start with an evocation of the Lord, Jesus Christ).
Notwithstanding the legal risk analysis provided to the State by
solicitors and Counsel prior to the proceeding, the exceptional
judicial effect was to turn this legislative position on its head.

The Catholic Church's Constitutional placement has existed since the
veritable inception of the State. It is definitely reasonable to say
and plausible to argue that the attitude within State mandarin circles
is that the judicial effect of the SC common law finding has  hammered
a wedge into this primary fundamental grain of legislative and
Constitutional power "integrity". The integrity of the State's
progenitor conceptual framework, though ephemeral, is now cracked and
the genie is trying to get out. Genies are big trouble. Ali Baba will
confirm this. From their history the Germans call it the "Mythos of 
the uncontrollable".

The resulting voids undermine the sovereignty of the Nations Body.
There are more and more abuse proceedings to come. The Dublin Arch-Diocesan child sex abuse report is too be released soon. It will be very bad. Thejudicial effect has been to put the relevant Department(s) under admonishment and costs. Some professional servants of State, State constructivists,  might take that very personally and do so in an
objectively historical sense too. It is not so much that the rot has
set in, but that the rot has been exposed for all to see.

In a similar manner to the Minister's outburst, the judicial body's
reasoning in the case, by way of its finding did not subvert in
construction or delivery. Loyalty and honour. They provided as just an
outcome as was possible. Contrast this to Minister Dr. Woods ineptitude
of letting the religeuse off the reparation hook. Was that just
ineptitude? Why was there such a state of inept Fianna Fail
degeneration in 2002? On a Radio One weekend show, Dr. Woods explained the negotiation meeting took 20 minutes for EUR125,000,000 (which ends up to be EUR1,200,000,000)! What is the cost of either amount per
second of the meeting?

Minister Dr. Woods and Bertie slit the throats of their own political
legacies. They did this by way of their own hands. Look at the blood.
It is on their hands. Institutionalised blood of children. The blood of
the Nation's Sovereign Body! Cowards? Idiots? Slaves? Expediency? For
the victims? How many ways can you talk around the problem? Such
ducking and diving is galling. Hope is a Theological precept, and there
is little hope as regards charity and mercy, because they have killed
vocation and charism, now left to the X-posé TV dining set.

Immediacy is king. On to the next frontier - the real politic polemic.

In the same vein, one of the other ongoing state constructivist and
moralist voids between the provision of free market liberal economic
Justice (NAMA - central toxic bank) and Social economic Justice (short
to medium term nationalisation of banks) will inevitably have to be
adjudicated in the Supreme Court when either the Council of State refer
NAMA legislation, or when the speculators respond litigiously to being
NAMA'd. The Supreme Court may view the matter through the prism of an Executive driven confluence, via vulgar political public outbursts in
the Nation's Sovereign Body, infusing that free market construct into
the body judiciary. Executive Ministers will have to make a lot of
"constructivist" noise in their "parlour".

Will such outbursts politicise the judiciary? The writer does not 
think the NAMA war theatre is popular political distraction i.e
propaganda. Is Mansergh the new spearhead of traditionalist radicalism?
What's that? Is the Executive acting like the bankers - Street fighting
like Dempsey's hard nuts? Personally the writer believes there are a
few very negative cracked-actors and brokers in the Executive. Mansergh
is a bit of a psyche knot? Things are not yet unrecoverable. The writer
has not as yet seen any swastika eyes. Time to get them out though.

Things are too bad at the moment for us not too ask some serious
personality and psyche questions of those in the Cabinet. Personal
family and childhood histories make the man. When your back is against
the wall, and they are coming for you, it is not who you are, but what
you are that can decide the future of a Nation. Going on past political
form it looks bad. Look at what the coward drunk Jack Lynch did. The
list goes on. Short sightedness, immediacy, survivalism, state of
nature, primitivism, selfism, and cowardice. The reflections are
negative.

Surely State emanation actors will have to meet quietly to discuss
matters of interim intra-State emanation power distribution and
sovereignty-creep and possibly judicial body pragmatism. The writer was
tempted to write submission - in a kind of church-state-judiciary
domino effect sense? This is classic theatre surely. Get me Fintan
O'Toole (IT arts journalist) on the phone please. When things get
"complex" negotiators get their clients to compromise and spread risk
through distributive constructions that usually go on the balance of
fairness. They also get into brinkmanship mode. It enables them to
fight over every point and every penny. A man influences fairness by
blowing in the wind. State emanation actors may be placed  into
abstract places and come to believe, think and say that any such
"complex" chats,  over  good food and fine wine (it is always sensibly
important to decide things on a  full stomach), are in the interest of
the citizenry and national stability? Thus a free market NAMA solution.
This is by way of the writer's speculation. Justice will be done and
will be seen to be done on NAMA it can be hoped to be sure. Regardless, the Supreme Court will effectively decide the economic policy and
future of every citizen. Both Cabinet and Parliament nullified. Unless
they sell off the Constitution and bring out the Army? They have
already sold off the country and leased off our natural resources.

However that is but one element. The courts are involved in
repossession of private residences, and insolvency arrangements across
the country. Some of those people were not greedy speculators. Some
over stretched themselves when the bank manager sold them excessive
credit beyond their repayment capacities. Not all of them should be
looked at down the noses of the scornful. Some were foolish. Some must be dealt with seriously. The court carries out a noughties Cabinet
policy failure insolvency mop up operation and property demob on behalf
of the banks, as duty binds them. At the same time Cabinet gives the
banks the Nation's wealth to keep them in EUR500,000 salaries and keep
international speculation betting on Ireland. We must be heading into
the interzone of economic slavery regardless of any upturn. What words do you use to describe the future?

So, back to the future. The initial obtuse obliqué by Mansergh at the
judicial body is formidable and should not be underestimated by
Republican citizens heading into lower class transitional poverty.
These are the ones who are hatefully in intellectual revolt as
reaction. Unemployment lines are not pretty. Any non-judicial influence
on the judicial body has ephemeral effect and its core paradigm is
totalitarian. It is always presented in constructivist terms. It will
bring a classist  creep-back into extent. All actors are to be
corrupted, even citizenry. If there is no  upturn, this will mutate and
degenerate into a dead-zone process of statist  traditionalist
colonisation of the body politic. That is rational.

The state of affairs today would have been dealt with viciously by
polemic Thomas Paine. Will the Taoiseach allow his underlings to bust
around the State glass house while more citizens enter into the grey
interzone of the new unemployed underclass? Cowen sounds pretty much
out of touch this weather. The electorate did not elect him Taoiseach
and national punditry has no issue with this and refuse to project it
in democracy as irrelevancy terms because apparently it happened before
with Fine Gael and thus is merely political and not a flaw in
traditionalist Statist thinking and practice. That's called
justification. Why are we asleep on that point? Vincent Browne
(journalist) does not like it mentioned either.

The new thousands are prole-creeping into the welfare lines. The home
repossessions by the banks via the body judiciary continue. His State
is backing the banks. Maybe all the above is diversion for the
forthcoming welfare slash and burn under the guise of a
EUR1,000,000,000 employment project managed by the problematic FAS government body. That's the good news? This may well be the inflection or tipping point for non-aligned civil disobedience.

All is perceived in a very negative manner by the public. The gaps
between precept and practice look like a sort of proto-fascist power
obsession. The writer thinks it is just that. It may be more likely
called a free market religious conservatism, not proto-fascism, but it
reads like Spain in the 1970s. Franco was always the one who said his
enemies had nothing constructive to offer. The writer calls it
"Traditionalist State Reversionism".

And then the other thing. This traditionalist set all have the gibs of
their cowardly sick political progenitors (yea....their auld fellas)
who engaged in the nexus of cover up and protection of pedophiles, who
raped and committed acts of necrophilia on those children made the
living dead through dehumanising brutality in a church-state
mind-murder complex. Child rapists systematically hidden by the
catholic church hierarchy.

Irish poverty culture, with the depraved power class, judicial
progenitors (including..yea......their auld fellas), perpetuated the
totalitarian complex with all citizenry reduced into a State of Nature
and behaviorally contained into a socialised guilt complex of ignorant
and sexually self-hating complicity. The writer's mother walked by a
local institution in the 1940's. She was 9 years old and was told that,
"it's where they keep bastards". She is guilty of complicity
"obviously". My lovely half-blind mum. The writer saw such mindsets in
1980s in his home town and it was just a matter of luck that he was not
physically dehumanized. National life as death-cult? Fear driven
amorality idolatry? They didn't commit mass rape (or rapes at masses)
after the irish famine (1840's), and that was a pretty bad time to be
about the place.

The above reality reads like Constitutional subversion and seditious
conspiracy to the writer, with the power and economic classes acting
like enemies of the people. A disgrace of our civilization, comparable
to the debasement of the old colonial masters. But the Constitution
protects the Nation's Sovereign Body, and the other emanations of
state, not so much the people’s human rights (or women's right to work, or their corporeal emancipation, or children, or queers, or queens, or
lesbians, or single mothers). It references Jesus Christ and a church
demeaned by its functionaries as church of Anti-Christ. It is not good
enough for the President to merely say child rapists be criminalised.
The evil lies within the Constitution. The evil is inside. One cannot
subvert or be convicted for seditious conspiracy against the people the
writer understands. Tough luck. Why they did not put that in? It might
have come to be known as a "Constitutional oxymoron"? I suppose they
might have lost their jobs in the Executive more easily too. That
sounds like a good idea at this stage in our generation's history. Our
generation.

The BBC have gone more native than usual and started using the term
"the people". Like an auld Times tendency, they too instinctually are
going for a more power centrist executive angle, reporting that the
"mother of all Parliaments" has been over democratised over the last 20
years. Here in the Republic, Irish punditry and the media haven't a
clue what is going on or what to say about the sick State functioning
and practice in concise deconstruction. Even the Irish Times is
grasping at were to put its feet, whether to go native with the
anti-liberal traditionalist religious power centrist statists, or  to
go with the rest of us. Tough call. They think we don't want a State!
The people's mood is one like a Romanian crowd chanting "Freedom,
Democracy" over and over again and it is 1991. We are bounded into a
traditionalist State of Nature here as far as the writer's generation
can see. Political Primitivism theory rules the ephemeral of the State
Cabinet. How could you even join a political party.

Civilised citizenry, respectful of quality law in spirit, want
environmentally progressive social economic cohesion through a
disparate democratic state administration i.e. direct democratic access
to power decisions and legislation creation systems. This would
modernize business regulation beyond all competitors' legislative
bodies. Regulation will be king maker for the writer's kind of
political leader. All the Devil gives us are idle democratic statist
executive propagandists and a centrist power obsessed executive 
through poster democrats who use democracy as a poster story play thing
perpetuating the other national weakness of Irish political party
patronage. They are supported in this by all elements of the Irish
media, particularly the loyal Statist Irish Times, which along with the
IPR as classical Republican pamphleteering, is the only paper the
writer buys. He should get it for free, and probably read other papers
too. Ireland's current democracy is a power diversionary trick. Only
the courts give people an idea of justice and faith in what we Irish
call our democracy. But it will be good to get the current crowd out
within the next 6-12 months. The reader should pick up a copy of the
“Rights of Man”.

It is the Parliament that should be enabled to hold the executive by
the neck. To squeeze that neck. The Senate should round out the State ensuring the frolics of the junior emanations are matured and seasoned. Currently the Senate is perceived as a dumping ground for the colourful
and the useless. The writer thinks there are a very few who are an
exception to this as reality. It is effectively, by an executive
operative actor allocation, current and ex-student parental voting, and
obvious administrative systems structuring deficit, powerless. Cabinet
Ministers do not even bother to attend Committee. Parliament and State
administration redundancy extracted. Irresponsibility. Our State should
not be this way. The body executive bites its smiles smugly when
talking about popular modern participatory democracy as people power.
Modern power distribution systems exist in modern European countries,
but not here. In a word modernism. Bring in the modernists to the
Parliament!

The Irish Parliament is under-democratised, and will be superfluous in
the oncoming economic NAMA war theatre. The power goal of the actors is
to own the recovery for political posterity. That is all that matters
to the traditionalist statists. The unemployment body count that this
economic war causes is just free market cyclical collateral to them. 
Containment of the situation until the next cycle comes around is
primary. Society does not seem to exist to them. It is socially
destructuralising liberal economic modeling and the Irish-American
Chamber of Commerce they are interesting in.

The National Sovereign Body Parliament being bounded and constricted
coupled with an excessively handed and real national democratic inertia
provides sustenance to administrative asymmetric power traditionalism
within the State machinations. In the past, this distracted from,
assisted in and sustained the nexus of support for institutionalized
mass rape. Societial Genocide. Who will take the Irish State to the war
crimes tribunal in The Hague?  Can the Vatican as State be brought to
International Justice? The writer would guess they have the legal risks
of such a challenge rapped up already after 2000 years. However, Nazi's did have a justice placed upon their heads.

These dire paradigms continues today in Ireland into a totalitarian
type of leadership constructionist projectism currently manifest and
presented as liberal micro business proliferation via American
electronic  technology corporate focus. This is not intrinsically
negative as it creates liberalised employment infrastructures and
broadly speaking, is socially positive. The writer calls the
“leadership constructionist projectism” for what it truly is; “The
Taoiseach’s office, made artifice”.

What should also be happening is am immediate Cabinet driven
environmentally sustainable National energy project for completeness of energy independence. Current green policy and effect is only scratching
the surface. The Greens in cabinet are political minnows. All-Ireland
energy engineering projects on a scale not seen before in the State's
history must be initiated. Energy security and environmental
sustainability on a global scale is a problem of object reality.

Also, a totality of agrarian expansion is needed as food security
policy for all citizens sustainably into the next 70 years without the
need to import foodstuff commodities which can be grown here. This can save the farming communities being strangled within the EEA and CAP mere marketeering. This is one of the great Irish skill-set traditions.
Their problems are serious and real. Food security, pricing regulation
and chronic supply chain economic distortions made via middle
management greed, on a global scale are problems of object reality.

The cabinet's energy, focus of determination and old fashioned
concentration, taught to the writer by a good christian brother, should
be directed intently to such a great National projects with deep
deliverance of citizenry participation. Not merely the privateers.
Generational and societal consolidation is required.

The Parliamentary under-democratisation creates a sick curse which
riddles the State, the body politic and public life. The diseased 
State cries out; "A new Constitutional Settlement, Reform the
Constitution, Reform the Parliament, Reform the Executive, Reform the
Senate, Reform the state administrative bodies!" REFORM! REFORM! REFORM! Where are the counterculturalists when we need them?

Traditionalists are dumb to this and tactic through the gaps in their
silence. The old mans back again. The Long Fella. He is an expansionist
and he consumes. The Constitution protects the sick executive power
complex. They won't let go. Right now they are called Fianna Fail. 
This time their church is full of child rapists. All else is an
obfuscation. Dr. Woods let them off in twenty minutes. Who is raping
who young man? You are the guilty.
