7 signs of terrorism

“Once upon a time a famous pirat prisoner was brought in front of Alexander the Great. Alexander asked him:’Why do you infest the seas with so much audacity and freedom?’. The pirat answered:’ For the same reason because you infest the earth; but becasue i do it with a little nship, i’m called pirat; because you do it with a big fleet you’re called emperor’”.
De Civitate Dei, Augustine of Hippo

A prisoner from Saudi Arabia died yesterday in Guantanamo. The american army said that it should be a suicide. Last year three people suicide themself in Guantanamo and a member of the department said it was a ” mediatic move“, while the base commander Navy Rear-Admiral Harry Harris said: “They have no regard for human life, neither ours nor their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation but an act of asymmetric warfare against us“.
I think its a matter of point of view….

The idea is simple: take your TV, your DVD player, your video iPod, your XBOX 360, your laptop, your PSP, and say goodbye to them all for seven days. Simple, but not at all easy. Like millions of others before you, you’ll be shocked at just how difficult – yet also how life-changing – a week spent unplugged can really be.

But there’s a lot more to TV Turnoff Week than shaking up your relationship with passive entertainment. It’s all about saying no to being bombarded with unwelcome and unhealthy commercial messages. It’s about saying no to unfettered corporate media concentration and to the democratic deficit that results. And it’s about challenging the heavily distorted reflection of the world that we see on the screen, a reflection that is keeping us ill-informed and unaware of the very real political and environmental crises that we all currently face.

This year, we’re returning to the kind of stunt that spawned the Adbusters Media Foundation and our ongoing Media Carta Legal Battle against the corporate gatekeepers that control access to the public airwaves. There are loads of ways you can get involved, whether it’s spreading the word with a poster campaign, posting our spots on your video blog, or making a donation to help us air the uncommercials on broadcast TV.

The domain of our media reality seems to be quite “polluted” and not healthy for the truth to grow. We’ve seen four years of war in Iraq, the anniversary was two days ago, and the only liberation of Iraq i can see is this one painted by Sandow Birk, for his series “The Depravities of War“, where trough 15 large woodblock prints, he presents the war in Iraq of the memesphere…

But the domain of reality isn’t this one?
