Ir is only a revolt, it is not a revolution. To have a counter-revolution, a revolution is needed. They just want a change of government, and some want Morales back again
Mujica said that he tried to make changes, but the market system was stronger than he was.
He said that capitalism wastes too many resources, including human beings.
Instead of buying a presidential aeroplane, he decided to buy a helicopter with a hospital inside to be used for national emergencies.
He went to Germany, and they forced him to ride with an escort of 50 BMWs and a big mercedes Benz and he said that he did not need that, but German authorities said that they were responsible for his life.
He said that, as a president, he lived the life of the majority of the people of the world, living in poverty, but that most presidents are forced to live like the minority of the people of the world, living in opulence; he was part of the majority.
Uruguay does not have any religious celebrations; schools, hospitals, and public places do not display any religious signs.s

He said that people buy things with the money obtained from economic exploitation and the time invested during their li.feHe said that he did not care to say publicly that religions and religious leaders ride on the backs of the poor people, and that he was an atheist; he did not believe in mythology.
He supported a secular society without the intervention of religion. Uruguay does not have as much religious affiliation as other countries in Latin America, where catholicism has been imposed on the population and the educational system

An atheist president known as José Mujica, ex president of Uruguay.
He lived a simple life; his poor house was his presidential office, and he drove an old VW.
He did not have any bodyguards, and nobody tried to kill him, and he was a member of the Tupamaros
The trade war has already started with Canada, and the Canadians have answered back with their own 25% and 50% tariffs on American imports. Some Canadian manufacturers and retailers have reduced their prices to fight back against the American tariff. Canada might turn off the electricity in some 20 American states that receive electric power from Canada

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/canada-imposes-tariffs-us-imports/I didn’t say I wanted to die, just that I’m glad that I will be dead by the time physical books disappear.
You see, they have been my whole life and my greatest joy since early childhood.——————————————————————————————————
I understand your concern; I am a bibliophile too, and I was surrounded by people who enjoy reading and collecting books. My father, who was not an intellectual, was always reading, and he carried one of his fingers inside a book while he was taking care of his business. He was not a catholic, or a protestant; he was a Freemason. They used to call him: ‘Maestro”, and the whole town respected him
I don’t think that all physical books are going to disappear. Publishing companies will continue printing books, and newspapers will continue printing paper.
They have fired linotypists, but they are using WordPerfect and Microsoft Word to type books, and many writers continue printing books, and bookbinding companies continue fixing old books and binding paperbacks.
Book collectors and bibliophiles are not selling their books; on the contrary, they are taking them to bookbinding companies.
It is like cinematography, cinemas have replaced old projectors with digital laser projection, but small-town theatres continue using old arc voltaic projectors and celluloid films of 35 mm; some are using 70 mm films.
Some collectors are still using 16mm films and projectors.
Cameras are digital, but some photographers prefer 35mm film and black-and-white pictures.
Most stereo equipment is digital, but analogue is coming back, including hybrid, LP vinyl, and cassettes.
In Japan, many old formats still exist, including DAT and reel-to-reel. Much vintage stereo equipment is being refurbished, and old technicians are very busy now
Nostalgia will never vanish from human beings.
I have both worlds: Physical and digital books
I am not young either, and I enjoyed my youth, and I do not want to die yet.
I have a lot of work to do, socialists and academic works
This reporter sounds like a robot, and they do not understand what is happening. Now, with YouTube, anybody can become a reporter.
She is not reporting properly; they are scanning the books in order to turn them into digital books for Kindle. It is not only Amazon and Barnes and Noble, which are bookstores, is also doing the same thing.
. This format produces more profits than physical books because buyers of the digital format do not own the books; they only have access to the information, which is written or dictated.
Companies that sell iPads or tablets are also making large profits because many school textbooks are becoming digital books; customers must buy the digital format and the devices, and their devices are in colour, and they use retina and 4 K displays or high resolution, which give sharper images.
Kindle is black and white, and they are small to be read in the palm of your hands, and the tablets are in colour, and they are 12 inches long and 4 inches wide, which is the normal size of a university textbook, especially law books, hornbooks and casebooks, and many medical textbooks, which are very expensive .ve
They have a lot of customers because digital books are cheaper than physical textbooks; they can also be found at the university and public libraries, and both must pay a fee ( fee income ) to have access to the digital books.
It is like buying a Microsoft key: you can install the software, but the buyer of the key does not own the software.
It is not free software like Linux or Unix; Apple is free software, but you must buy the hardware, and the hardware is very expensive; it is part of the process to make profits; it is part of the capitalist market system.
Movies are turned into digital format to be downloaded online, and they sell access to the movie through Amazon Prime, and Amazon makes money from access to the movie and buying an Amazon Prime subscription; it is a capitalist process.
Many people buy the movies in digital format because they have been transformed into high-definition and box-letter format or wide format, and they have better picture quality better thanCinemascopee, and they have added closed captions and subtitles. They are buying old movies filmed on celluloid, and there are companies dedicated to repairing them and turning them into colour; they are also making profits, and they are hiring professional people to do this kind of work.s
It is not a right-wing takeover; it has nothing to do with Nazis; that process has existed for many years. It is the normal process of capitalism to produce profit; it is American social romanticism.
Left-wing organisations are doing the same things; they are scanning books and publishing them online instead of having bookstores like in the old days. The company that has copyright over the works of Marx and Engels has also scanned the 52 volumes and put them into digital format.
When Progress Publishers owned them, the whole collection cost around $150.00; now the whole collection costs more than $3,000.00. You can download them for free in PDF format to your desktop or a tablet. They have also sold access to universities.
Imposing 50% tariffs on some countries and imposing more sanctions on Iran, who is China, India and Turkey trade partner is going to created a world financial and market crisis, probably the world capitalist class wants Trump to be removed
When Jesus addresses God, he calls on El, not Yahweh.
Baal was Jesus’ uncle.
———————————————————
According to Canaanite mythology, the same gods and mythology that the polytheist Hebrews worshipped in Canaan, Yaveh and Ba’al, were sons of El; therefore, they were brothers, and they belonged to the same Pantheon. The Hebrew monotheist scribes invented the enmity between them
Yahweh’s wife was Asherah, whom he stole from El.
———————————————————–
Archeological finding has proven that she was also worshipped by the polytheistic Hebrews; she was removed from the bible by the monotheistic scribes. She was the mother of more than seventy deities and the consort of El. This is a real religious conspiracy
.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AsherahAnd Genesis, Exodus, and all the books “of Moses” were written over by the later monotheistic Jewish scribes, eliminating the old polytheism of the Jews. But bits were missed, like “Elohim”, which is plural.
————————————————————————————————
Elohim means gods. Most pagan gods had a wife ( or wives, like Zeus ), but the Hebrew god is single, and he is a man, showing the social mentality of the Hebrew scribes.
The Tainos had female gods; their personal names ended with female names, and they had women who were chiefs or caciques, and they called the earth Mother and the sun the father, and the continents had female names like Abya Ayala.
In the New Testament, Jesus used the expression Abba, which means father, but some scholars say that it means Mother and father; he never mentioned Javeh.
The ex-president of Colombia, Petro, said that Jesus had a female partner and that he was polygamist. That statement sparked major controversy within the Catholic Church. During the election, that catholic and protestant leaders preferred to support an atheist, who is the new president of Colombia and a supporter of Donald Trump. Lately, he changed his stance; he is saying that in one hand he is holding a rifle and in the other hand he is holding the Bible
In Egypt and Canaan, the serpent was worshipped like a god; it was not a demon, and the concept of the devil was taken by the Jews from Persia. In Genesis, Jehovah defeated the Egyptians’ and Canaanites’ gods. Many passages in the bible are trying to avoid the defeat of the Hebrew god, which would have shown that it was not a very powerfull like the pagan gods, or the gods of the Gentiles. The whole thing about the paradise and the serpent is just a mythology
Dogs bark when someone invades their territory; all animals create their own territory to protect themselves against predators and to protect their food supply.
Some tourists go to parks where there are wild animals, and when they invade their territory, the animals will go after them. They do not understand the world of the animals; the animals do not care anything about human rights.
Even more, small birds like finches create their own territory, and they will attack bigger birds that invade their area.
Doves ( mourning and ringneck doves ) emit different sounds when the female is sitting on eggs to protect her and their young; their nature is to reproduce.
I breed different types of bird species in aviaries, and inside the aviary they create their own territory ( and their own nests), and they live in peace and harmony, probably more harmoniously than human beings.
People have been brainwashed by the business world which generates billions on animal foods and devices. You do not need any special devices; they know what to do. You spread the food on the floor and keep clean water, vegetables, plants, branches and fruits; they will take care of the rest
