The WikiLeaks affair has twofold value. On the one hand, it turns out to be a bogus scandal, a scandal that only appears to be a scandal against the backdrop of the hypocrisy governing relations between the state, the citizenry and the press. On the other hand, it heralds a sea change in international communication â and prefigures a regressive future of âcrabwiseâ progress.But letâs take it one step at a time. First off, the WikiLeaks confirm the
fact that every file put together by a secret service (of any nation you like) is exclusively made up of press clippings. The âextraordinaryâAmerican revelations about Berlusconiâs sex habits merely relay what could
already be read for months in any newspaper (except those owned by Berlusconi himself, needless to say), and the sinister caricature of Gaddafi has long been the stuff of cabaret farce. Embassies have morphed into espionage centres ... http://www.presseurop.eu/en/content/article/414871-not-such-wicked-leaks ------------------------------------------------------------ December 2, 2010 Fascisme een beschavingsvorm? Judith V. aka The Frontline PrincessEerst wanneer het lijden van de mens exclusief is geworden, zo begrijp ik
het, raakt de mens aan het principe van beschaving. Noodlottigerwijze is derhalve het fascisme een beschavingsvorm, met ditvoor ogen dat objectivering en subjectivering een achterhaalde fase in de behoefte aan 'het wezenlijk goede' is en uitsluiting van het eigen lijden
een prototype schept waarbinnen de grondslag van vernietiging een kenmerkende 'painkiller' is voor de eigen, te nauwe, schacht van het bewustzijn. http://www.nictoglobe.com/wordpress/?p=139 ------------------------------------------------------------ November 25, 2010 Italy: Senate, airport, train stations to be occupied Stop the Country, take back the Future!Italy - Senate, airport, train stations, cities: students have stopped the
country fighting education reform and the cuts to education! These are very intense days in Italy: final cuts to the university has created a huge mobilization all over the country. Tens of universities,more than 200 schools and even more colleges are going to be occupied this
night: if Parliament is going to approve the education Reform, studentswill go on occupying everything. An entire generation is rebelling against
the destruction of the university and the dismantling of research.

Ritman Library Dear reader, please forward this request for the petition. Express your protest against the dissolution of the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica (Ritman Library) http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ritmanlibrary/ http://www.ritmanlibrary.nl/ IS A UNIQUE LIBRARY IN THE WORLD !!! It is widely known that the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica inAmsterdam, founded by J.R. Ritman, was in great danger in the 1990s, when the ING bank took possession of the collection and threatened to sell it. Fortunately, the Dutch government intervened: the BPH was put on the list of protected Dutch heritage, and the State eventually acquired over 40% of it. The books remained at the same physical location, integrated with the rest of the collection, and the government would eventually acquire all of it. As part of this process, there were great plans for further expansion.
Largely due to the financial crisis and a change of government this was taking somewhat longer than originally anticipated, but nobody doubted that the library was safe.Last week this turned out to be incorrect. An extremely valuable medieval
manuscript owned by the BPH (The Grail of Rochefoucauld) was put on saleat Sothebyâs, and this triggered a reaction from the Friesland Bank, which
took possession of the library, that had apparently been brought in ascollateral, in order to get back a 15 million euro loan from mr Ritman. At
present the BPH is closed, and intense negotiations are going on behindclosed doors. It is impossible at this moment to predict the outcome, but there is no doubt that the situation is extremely serious. There is a very real possibility that the Friesland bank will try to sell at least the ca. 60% of the library that is still owned by mr Ritman, and nobody knows what implications this will have for the rest of the collection and the BPH as a whole, including its staff. The brand-new government of the Netherlands
has announced a program of radical financial cuts in the culture section and elsewhere, which makes a renewed intervention from that side highly unlikely. If the Ritman library would go down, this would mean an enormous blow to international scholarship in hermetic studies. The damage would be irreversible. By signing this petition you express your concern, and ask the Dutch government and the Friesland bank to do their utmost to ensure that the collection will be saved and will remain available for the international scholarly community. Additionally, you can express your concern by means of a signed letter. The initiative for this petition comes from the Center for History of Hermetic Philosophy and related currents at the University of Amsterdam (organizationally independent of the BPH, and not in any danger itself), so please send your letter to its director: Prof. Wouter J. Hanegraaff, Oude Turfmarkt 141-147, 1012 GC Amsterdam, The Netherlands. http://www.ritmanlibrary.nl/ ------------------------------------------------------------ November 19, 2010 REFF RomaEuropa FakeFactory Salvatore IaconesiREFF RomaEuropa FakeFactory is back. A book is coming out in Italy (and an
international version is following soon, before the end of the year) together with the next step in our action in favor of better innovation policies and practices for arts and culture. During these days Italy is living strange times, with a government that is something that could easily be called a "soft dictatorship" and an extensive crisis scenario across culture, imaginaries and perspectives.

perfect order, implacably unrolling the logic of its predictable consequences, and prompt to repress all violations by the sanctions that it inflicts, either automatically or â more unusually â through the intermediary of its armed extensions, the International Monetary Fund(IMF) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
and the policies they impose: reducing labour costs, reducing public expenditures and making work more flexible. Is the dominant discourse right? What if, in reality, this economic order were no more than theimplementation of a utopia â the utopia of neoliberalism â thus converted
into a political problem? One that, with the aid of the economic theory that it proclaims, succeeds in conceiving of itself as the scientific description of reality?
