Chile: Pinochet is dead

Chile, Dec. 10, 2006. Old General Pinochet is dead. Some, for whom the military dictatorship was right, those who have never wanted to face the real face of the regime, they cry. But so many people down the streets of Chile and celebrate. E 'but a celebration bitter because Pinochet has not served one day in jail for what he has done and too many people can not "celebrate", because killed by his regime.
What I tell you now is the recent history of dictatorship that has struck at the heart of Chile, Latin American country sandwiched between the Andes and the Pacific, and a bad history of impunity.

1970, Chile
After an intense campaign, the Socialist candidate Salvador Allende, head of the Unidad Popular Front wins elections by going to lead the country. It 's the first time in history that a socialist government into power in a democratic way, without the services of a revolution.

Once in power makes some important reforms: nationalization of copper mines (great resource of the country), nationalized private banks and foreign trade, provides impetus for agrarian reform promotes collective forms of production (in a country where the estate was still popular). The Allende government did not however an easy life. Chile enters a serious economic crisis, sharpened by the cutting off of funds by private banks and the U.S. strikes in the transport sector. Today we know that the U.S. government because of Nixon did everything the Allende government fell by financing strikes and paving the way for what will be one of the most brutal dictatorships of the twentieth century. The rest was not acceptable to the U.S. state of South America to become "communist"!

South America, the word of Nixon, had to be the "backyard" of the United States. A land-use and then, from which the resources without any problems.

's September 11, 1973 ,
military aircraft bombed La Moneda, the presidential palace. Columns of tanks occupied the streets of the capital, Santiago, Chile began a military coup. President Allende, barricaded himself inside the presidential palace defends himself in arms along with a posse of deputies and supporters, and he falls in battle.
But before he died, talking to radio Magellanes, whose microphones are located just inside the palace. His voice is heard by thousands of Chileans, all over the country. That speech, disturbed by the noise of the bombs, it concluded: "Other men will overcome this gray and bitter moment when treason seeks to impose itself. Know that, sooner rather than later, will open the great avenues for which free men will walk to build a society migliore.Viva Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers! These are my last words and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain, are certain that, at least, a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice and betrayal. "

Then it all goes off, the radio will not transmit more and Chile plunged in darkness.
the first day of the coup sweeps are made in every city in the country, the police arrest anyone in the eyes of the scheme is "dangerous" dissident.

Thousands of people are crammed into barracks, gymnasiums and sports stadiums. In the soccer stadium in Santiago, Chile for example, are deported only about seven people in the early days of the dictatorship. Many of these will be tortured and shot in the locker room in the basement. E ' here dying Victor Jara, Chilean singer songwriter wonderful as "Te recuerdo Amanda", "A desalambrar", "Duerme negrito" rebel song, singing of exploited miners, who claimed the need to "ground for all" impoverished peasants, who sang the revolutions taking place in other Latin American countries. Poems of revolt accompanied by simple guitar sound. Things that the regime could not accept. And then crushed.

Even Pablo Neruda, the great poet, he also Chilean, died just a few days of that terrible September 11, at his residence in Isla Negra. He died of cancer, but the soldiers have time to search his home several times, and is famous the phrase that he said would open to them: "Look around: there is only one form of danger here, for you poetry." (Very nice about the film "The Postman" by Massimo Troisi, the novel by Skármeta).

The military dictatorship led by General Augusto Pinochet, will last for seventeen years. Unfortunately
had substantial support from that part of society who had opposed Allende, from those who really believe that it was better the firm hand of the military rather than a socialist government, a government "red".

There were, however, also anti-Communists who were busy clandestinamen-te to save from torture and killing many people. That was a vicious dictatorship, where he disappeared from circulation for ideas, for his political activity, for songs or books, or only a suspicion. Where the armed forces were entering homes at night by snatching sleep boys and girls, men and women, taking them away forever from their families, friends, the love. A dictatorship in which books were burned, killed all forms of art, free thought, freedom of the press.

Freedom in Chile was killed over a low heat for 17 years.

But to maintain the consent of the dictatorship had to hide much of what he did, not would last so long if he had made it visible that he was carrying out the massacres.
Yeah, massacres.
Why in the years 1973 to 1990 in Chile are thousands of people died. More than three thousand ... Many of these deaths were not "formalized". English for "missing" is "disappeared" thousands of desaparecidos populated Chile, as well as Argentina, for almost twenty years. People a day were taken away by police, arrested and disappeared forever. How many family members and friends have asked about over the years, until the madness, always getting the same answer: disappeared, disappeared.

We now know with certainty that they were killed, thrown in mass graves at night, away from the eyes of those who did not want to see, or who had no idea the true face of military dictatorship.

There is a wonderful book, a novel, which tells of this. Of dictatorship, as some part of the Chilean people ignore (or do not want to see) what was happening, the disappeared, and a love that was born when all this happened. It is called "Of Love and Shadows" and is written by Isabel Allende, niece of Salvador Allende that killed the first day of the coup.

were many Chileans who fled their country with false documents, but many of them were captured by police neighboring states such as Argentina and Bolivia, where there were ruthless military dictatorships very similar to that of Chile. Some managed to save themselves jumping into the walls of the
European embassies, including the Italian. The embassies organized, with great difficulty, their escape. And it is in Italy that many Chileans have remained in exile for many years, and has received a solidarity that does not forget. Proof of this is the tribute that the famous Chilean musical group Inti Illimani, who happened to be in Italy for a tour on the day of the coup, has done to our country with his album "Long live Italy!".

The DINA
The Pinochet regime merited a notorious secret police, whose job was to assassinate politicians uncomfortable for the dictatorship, also abroad: the case of the Chilean Christian Democrat who was preparing Leighton, exile, a Democratic plan to rescue his country .
is killed in Rome in 1974, in Via Aurelia, from Italian men hired by the DINA. It was probably the group of fascist National Vanguard, whose head was Stephen Chiaia man, however, also linked to some of the Italian secret services. See if this same group is the author of the strategy of tension that would also lead Italy to an authoritarian turn, and making havoc in the streets trains.

1983: evidence of revolution
Chile lives in 83 days of high tension, which light up hope in many. They boldly proclaimed, once a month, demonstrations demanding the return to freedom.
The police always respond with guns, and many people die. The world was horrified attend the scene of demonstrations bloodily suppressed, the armored columns that shoot at the demonstrators with water cannons filthy water. The repression is increasing, and who had tried to raise the head is hopelessly crushed, again. He dies again the dream of freedom.
Meanwhile in the country are mind-born illegal guerrilla groups seeking to oppose the law enforcement: September 7, 1986 one of these, the Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Frente, an attempt to try Pinochet. The operation is called "vente siglo" and is told in a beautiful book, "pale flags," written by Paco Ignacio Taibo I, which tells it so novel. Guerrillas armed with bazooka attack the presidential procession during a shift of the general, but something goes wrong el'agguato fails. Men die of Commons. Pinochet not only survives but has the excuse to strengthen even more its power, by brandishing the bogeyman of the "communist threat" and convinced many right-thinking that it is better the dictatorship of a free country. And in the night Chile continues.

Then, all this is over.
After a referendum held in 1988, to decide whether Pinochet should remain in power or not, and decided to NO, the evening of 11 March 1990 the ceremony of greeting the general.

dictatorship, after seventeen years, is over.
began the long and difficult period of transition to full democracy, which is certainly not easy to regain after nearly two decades of government was allowed to stand the terror, violence.
It also began the transition process, attempts to unmasking of the many massacres committed by the military in all these years. Is appointed a commission of inquiry into the crimes dictatorship, but it is not easy to find justice in a country where the military is still very powerful, where those who committed crimes can afford to fabricate false evidence and false leads to not being charged.

In 1991 comes out the "scandal" of the cemetery in Santiago: it turns out that many graves each containing the remains of two and even three victims of repression. Augusto Pinochet responds well to the discovery: "You have seen how conserved."

But not only in the cemetery of Santiago you will discover the remains of the disappeared; throughout Chile have many, many who were buried secretly, for years, and slowly being discovered.

Chilean Democracy lives a very important day in early 2000, when he won the election the Socialist Ricardo Lagos: after thirty years exactly, the Socialists returned to power. But in the meantime the world has changed, and the very idea of \u200b\u200bsocialism in power is very different from that practiced by Allende. The country's economy has been transformed in almost two decades of dictatorship, there is no room for ideals of social justice for 70 years, which had been promoting Allende. American capitalism reigns now all over the world, and the new socialism is only a faded memory of the old one.

capture
On 16 October 1998, while located in a hotel in London, Pinochet was visited by officers from Scotland Yard who will deliver an arrest warrant issued by English Judge Garzon. The reasons are many, the killing of Chilean democracy through the use of force liability in dozens of murders, and that he had organized the "Condor Plan".
Pinochet remained for almost a year and a half under house arrest in London, while opening a long dispute over what should be done to him: Spain in the first place, but also France, Switzerland and Belgium in their wish to be extradited countries, and there tried for the crimes he committed. But

2 March 2000 comes the twist: Pinochet, now 85 but is in good health is considered "unfit to stand trial" because "learning difficulties and can not remember recent events and the past."
A sick then, almost insane, and as such is not actionable
. Is released in this way.
A plane of the Chilean armed forces him back to his homeland on March 3, 2000, after several detours in the skies of the planet, to avoid calling in countries that require his arrest.

In Chile the airport waiting for the military, which welcomed him as a hero, and is consumed on the runway of the insult in front of cameras all over the world Pinochet gets up from the chair Accessibility on which he pretended to be sick, and goes back to being healthy.

Latest
For all these years, Chile has had to witness the ugly spectacle of a process that never gave a final verdict, the indictment never a formula. Only
13 December 2004, the Supreme Court of St. James has given the green light to the arrest of Pinochet. A historical moment for a country where the influence of the general was still strong. Recently, however, that stop was suspended for the worsening of his physical condition.

(photo: Pinochet in 1973)

The first woman in power
early January 2006, a new historical fact has been consumed in Chile, the Socialist candidate Michelle Bachelet won by a wide margin the presidential election, becoming the first president of Chile However this woman, who was imprisoned and tortured during the years of dictatorship Augusto Pinochet before going into exile, it also becomes a symbol of redemption, of a desire to exceed past the final re-blood of the fascist dictatorship.
there is still much more to say about Chile, the internal political problems, poverty, indigenous Mapuche claiming more rights, of social struggles. All this will take space in another article.

Before closing However, it is important to note: the military coup of Pinochet in Chile was part of a wider framework, which saw the birth 70 years of military dictatorships in many other countries of South America including Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. This plan, called "Plan Condor", intended to eliminate all political opponents in joint operations with the secret services. The operational support, politically and economically in this terrorist plot was given by the CIA, that U.S. intelligence.
is why it is so weird knowing these historical facts the intent of the current U.S. Bush administration to "export democracy" in the world with their war on terrorism. How can believe in a country that funded the bloody dictatorships for the sole purpose of continuing to have control of certain economic areas, when he tells us that the purpose of its war against terrorism is to fight for the good of humanity? The one implemented in Chile, Argentina, Nicaragua, etc., was terrorism.

So near, so far

We know them only for theft and begging: are the gypsies, a people without a country with a long history behind it.

Gypsies Christians met for a week of celebration at the turn of May 24 in the town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a small pearl Camargue, as every year. Always nomads scattered among the nations of Western Europe come together here to worship their patron saint, a "holy gypsy", and its image, black, kept in the crypt of the cathedral in this sunny coastal village, and wet in the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Over time, the colorful and noisy caravans of wagons pulled by horses or men have become caravans, luxury cars sometimes, sometimes (more often) cans shaky, but the spirit remained the same, to celebrate, to sing, to rhythm of flamenco, dating and for once, just once in a years, defeat and dispersal distances, and gather together as a people, not just an uncomfortable minority, but as a true "nation." Write

this colorful celebration is just a small attempt to arouse interest in a people living among us but that we ignore almost completely if not the existence, surely the habits, identity. Wherever they live, in fact, the nomads are always surrounded by an aura of mistrust and misunderstanding (usually feeling returned, but it is not a valid reason to "turn a blind eye" to understand and decide).

To begin with, are the "sedentary" starting with a negative opinion, a priori.
Just open a dictionary to realize this: the simple words "nomadic" or "vagabond", immediately assume a negative connotation in our language, even contemptuous. And historically nomadic peoples represented cruelty, theft and looting, something to fear, the hordes of "barbarians" from foreign lands willing to put fire to the cities of Europe.

In fact, rather than the memory of past raids is the fear of such a different world view, the fear that what we seem to possess the right is actually a fragile agreement, though most of the nomadic peoples with which we had to do was devoted mainly in peaceful activities and harmless.
Today everyone knows that, but the nomads were primarily artisans, farmers and horse dealers, and favorite activities necessitated by their constant go (a passion that has now been transformed into love for cars), and famous musicians . The proverbial
cialtroneria served the Gypsies to settle in Christian: false stories depicting them as persecuted Christians of Egypt by the Muslims, many false bubble of imperial and papal which required local authorities to accept them.
Anyway, it is always a series of misunderstandings that created much of the traditional European hostility towards them were in fact exchanged or similar to the Saracens. It is with the modern age, however, starting with the most severe persecution, which culminated in World War II. But over persecution, is the attempt to assimilate by the sedentary population to threaten the identity of a nomad. And principles, ways of looking at life, radically different. In our view, are deplorable, as well as the tendency to commit theft (and attribute, generalizing to an entire people), inability to work, to "set up house," the apparent dirt, did not send their children to (our) school ...
On the other hand we are, from their point of view, to make usually seen as immoral actions. Wage employment, for example, is experienced by nomads who are or have been forced to do so, as a theft of time, something that upsets the natural rhythm that they have and they feel entitled to have. In many countries attempted to integrate them in this way, as in those former communist Europe, the result was failure: the highest level of absenteeism from work, and low productivity.

As for theft, one must consider that they have a much more bland concept of private property (the property is usually divided up between all members of the clan), and if this does not justify anything, from their point of view, even our properties, such as of the earth, and the misuse in order to gain profit, to squeeze the bone could be seen as an injustice.

There is also an opposite tendency, to idealize the "people of the wind, giving it a romantic character, libertarian (to which the bohemians), resulting in a series of stereotypes and simplifications. First of all, though it may seem surprising, the same nomadism. Today, many gypsies are indeed sedentary, and many are traditional, and live in shacks and in normal houses. In Eastern Europe there are many "gypsy neighborhoods." It is also the widespread belief that there is a "Gypsy People", while this term, like other similar products (gypsy, gypsy, Stroller ...) have been assigned by the "Gage, the non-Gypsies, in groups so different that it can not certainly be defined as one people. Change traditions, languages, from group to group, keeping track of the languages \u200b\u200bof the countries that went through, as well as religions, which, under a film of Christianity or Islam, are traces of ancient myths and cults.

remains the problem of a misfit people who are pushing to make the time to Westerners without such integration, the first step towards a solution is, first of all, know.

bombs and earthquakes

the night of Oct. 9, North Korea conducted an underground nuclear test, the first in its history . Thus becomes the ninth country in the world to have the atomic bomb.
North Korea has since claimed to have undergone the test, clearly due to the image (must show that they are strong), but if he had kept secret the explosion, we would have known?
The answer is yes.
underground nuclear explosions in fact, release an enormous amount of energy. About the point of explosion will generate strong pressure and temperatures in the millions of degrees, while the shock wave causes crushing rocks in a band more or less concentrated. They thus avoid the terrible explosions as earthquakes,
of elastic waves recorded by seismographs around the world.


But in the world takes place every day dozens of earthquakes as the natural ones can be distinguished from those caused by nuclear explosions?
There are differences, and these differences back to the type of cause: for example in nuclear explosions since there is no slip faults, the P waves (ie the type of seismic waves of compression-expansion) always have a first stage characterized by movement compression and propagate from the point of explosion out radially in all directions.

So any seismograph around the blast zone notes that the first arriving P wave is compression. When earthquakes occur rather natural, the first fluctuations of P wave detected by seismographs around the epicenter can be either compression or expansion, depending on where the seismograph is: remember the fact that natural earthquakes are generated by sudden breakage within the lithosphere, in which there is
relative movement of rock masses along a fracture plane. So the P waves do not propagate out radially around the breaking point.
(see figure below):
a.slittamento two rock masses
b.esplosione

E 'controlling all these factors since 1963 and during the Cold War, the U.S. and USSR have kept an eye on each other: the two superpowers of that time in fact, had decided to carried out since 1963 mainly underground nuclear tests, to avoid contaminating the world with their ongoing experiments on the surface.
To find out when and how the enemy was doing a test, were monitored daily earthquakes detected by seismographs, and stands in the way just described the natural ones caused by those tests.

Returning to North Korea is also the bomb detonated a few weeks ago has been detected by seismographs. If go to the website of the USGS (United States Geological Survey) is the agency that American scientific control of the territory, you can see the details of the earthquake caused by the bomb. http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/neic_tqab_m.html






















On the website of the Institute of Geology and Volcanology Italian instead, on page http://www.ingv.it/ ~ roma / framesx / projects / CTBTO / Controlloesplosioni.html # Anchor -Fundamentals-6638 , you will find information on Italian participation in the Project Control Total Ban Treaty of nuclear explosions, run by the UN. Using the same methods explained above is controlled so that the nine nations have nuclear weapons to respect the treaty. Korea has just violated.


A NOTE: There are
27 000 atomic bombs in the world. The only
countries that own them are the U.S., Russia, China, France, Britain, Israel, India and Pakistan.
Now comes even North Korea, bringing to nine the number of "bombers".
nations that have the most are the U.S. (there are thousands), and Russia, while our neighbor, France, has about 350.
us?
Well, Italy luckily did not have the atomic bomb.
Or rather, did not have the Italian state, because in reality of nuclear warheads in our territory there are and how!

know that in Italy there are over one hundred U.S. military bases? Well, between the Aviano base in the province Pordenone and to Ghedi Torre in the province of Brescia, some 90 nuclear bombs are stored. American.

Why were not the Chinese who now run the oceans and rob the Americas, Africa and Oceania of their resources?

You Get Me Horny Poem

multinational criminals, 1 episode: COCA COLA

Millions of people who drink Coca Cola in the world.
This soft drink, invented just over a hundred years ago in the U.S., became in time the best known, most publicized and most bought all over the planet.
In any city you go, from Europe to Asia, Africa, Oceania, you will find the famous white logo on a red field.
But if it's true that everyone knows, probably not everyone knows that behind its production, there are grave injustices, and that the leaders of the Coca Cola company (multinational bill every year 22miliardi dollars), must respond to criminal acts such as "violation of human rights." What

combines Coca Cola in the world?
Come to order.

COLOMBIA.
Latin American country bordered on the north by the state of Panama, Venezuela to the east, Ecuador and Peru to the west, Brazil to the south.

Here, for over forty years fighting a civil war between the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), and the army.
It is made of a guerrilla attacks, ambushes, on both sides. In this climate of confusion and violence that people are fighting in a peaceful manner human rights and carry out peaceful social struggles (such as trade unionists) are caught in the fray: do you think are over three thousand trade unionists killed in Colombia since 1991, by paramilitary groups acting with impunity, that is, with the coverage of government.

The Colombian government in fact, under the pretext of war against the rebels of the FARC (which are defined as terrorists), the country has established a climate of repression that involves those who have nothing to do with the guerrillas, But leading and forward requests for greater justice, MORE SAFETY AT WORK, MORE SALARY.

(you know that workers in Colombia, whether laborers or workers, are badly paid and exploited, with no trade union rights).

The massacre of trade unionists in Colombia and then, which is justified by the government as
the effect of the "war on terror" is nothing but a massive crackdown on those who seek to gain more rights.

And Coca cola, what does all this mean?

got to do and how! The union of the Colombian food industry (SINALTRAINAL) denounces the killing of year by Coca-Cola workers by paramilitary gangs. These workers are killed, are all trade unionists seeking better salaries and better conditions working to their leaders, industries and bottling of "magic" carbonated drink.

E 'obvious who has been a ferocious repression.

The dead have so far killed eight, in addition to the long list of threats and intimidation that have been made to hundreds of other workers, like, I'll kill you if you join the union, or torture, kidnapping of family members, fire house, etc. .

short, the Coca Cola has been accused in Colombia to take advantage of the climate of war and repression that already exists for some time to kill with impunity the people "uncomfortable" working in its industries and to terrorize anyone who "dares" join a union.

SINALTRAINAL, the union has managed to bring the Coca Cola company in court,
Federal court in Miami, where the court stated that there is enough evidence to continue the process.
has also launched an international boycott campaign by asking each person in each country not to buy Coca Cola products.

The boycott campaign is expanding with each passing year, and was even taken by some institutions that have rejected the sponsor of the Coca Cola in some public events like concerts and sporting events.
Another important event is the decision by some local authorities as
City Hall XI in Rome, the town of Fiano Romano, Empoli and others, to exclude the products of Coca Cola from the vending machines of its public facilities.


Even in the U.S., home of Coca Cola, the largest private institution (the New York University), will retire from the beverage vending machines and cafeterias, and soon other children poles follow the same path.

What is the boycott?
And 'the only form of protest that consumers can continue against the big brands.
And if this protest is massive and is accompanied by a political claim (like, if not improved the conditions of I will not buy workers), these large companies may be forced to rethink their positions. It 'just that a corporation suffers a loss of 5% of the total revenue, they can go in difficulty.

INDIA.
Big South Asian country, one of the world's population,
with over one billion inhabitants. Here

Coca Cola is accused of having caused, with its bottling plants, the lowering of ground water in certain areas. It should be said about that to make a liter of coca cola, it takes less than 9 liters of water. The amount of water taken is enormous.
In Kerala, a region of India, local people found themselves with dry wells and the inability to quench their thirst and irrigate the fields because the slopes were virtually dried up Cola's bottling industries.
.
Faced with protests that local communities have carried out, the boycott of its products, and before the ruling of an Indian court (which reiterated that the water is good for everyone and can not be privately owned ) to the multinational-
was forced to close some plants and has seen its revenue decline 18% in India.
In early August 2006
addition, four Indian states have banned the sale of Coca Cola because some tests conducted on soft drinks have found traces of herbicides, toxic. These pesticides were probably contained in the groundwater that the U.S. company has "sucked" from the territory.

OTHER DATA ON COCA COLA.

In 2000 he was forced to pay 2200 workers African Americans for racial discrimination in hiring and production.

The use of aluminum for the production of cans of Coca Cola has a huge impact on the environment, both in places of extraction, as a result, when the can becomes "waste".

Allegations of intimidation of union workers also came from Coca-Cola workers in Turkey, Guatemala, Pakistan, Russia.

[A small note: corporations are all those companies that control at least one subsidiary abroad. There are small (like the Italian companies open branches in Romania, where labor costs less) and enormous, like Coca Cola or McDonald's. These have a turnover in well above the U.S. dollar GDP of some poor countries of the globe. These huge companies can get to be the micro-states within the poor countries where they exploit the lack of human rights and environmental protection for profit. Often also take the natural resources of these countries and take away, in their rich countries of origin, leaving the inhabitants of those places only the crumbs. It is important to report when a multinational company, as well as a state, does injustice against the people. ]

"Do not make him vain," coral reefs are at risk

In the twenty-first century, evolutionism is still afraid.

(Charles Darwin)

Here we are in front of the long-awaited lists for access to advanced degrees.
My eyes immediately runs toward the ones of my degree, "evolutionary biology" ... 11! 11 new evolutionists on 235 questions! I did not expect such abundance! I look at the results of other specialist: a sell-out is recorded in the "biosanitaria" and "molecular genetic".
After the joy, spontaneous reasoning emerges: the evolution does not roll, biologists prefer other addresses, giving you more chances of finding work. I heard her say: "when you come into a laboratory nobody will ask who it was Darwin, you just press the button" ... BEAUTIFUL! I studied 5 years (if everything goes just fine) to "press the button! Fortunately, the aspiration of a "biosanitario" is not to press buttons in a laboratory and do not need to enroll in a graduate program in evolutionary biology to learn about Darwin or the theory of punctuated equilibrium, but at this point question about the fate of evolution remains: look in the media a certain indifference on the subject.
What causes this lack of interest? I look a bit 'round and immediately an individual stands to my attention: the pope.
If in 2006 we have a reactionary Church still so how can we expect in Italy, that people take an interest in Darwin? I do not say that punctuated equilibrium, but at least DARWIN!

Yet there are still those who writes: "Darwin is scary, but rather the evolutionary
brain washing is done with the money of all" (Franco Damiani, hosted by Forza Nuova) and there are still " scientists "who support creationism.
But how do you support, by scientists, a faith? A scientist may support a theory and creationism is not!
is as if a geologist said that the Earth is flat, the laugh in the face! So why if a "biologist" says: "God created man in His own image and likeness" does not happen the same? And even last year, the then education minister, Letizia Moratti, claims to remove the teaching of evolutionary theory in schools? "Because at that age are not ready" ... and of course, first of all, the catechism, then, who knows, God willing (or the Vatican), Darwin ... Embee, otherwise then the boy becomes schizophrenic and would ask questions such as "But he's right, the priest or professor of science?".
However, for now, the teaching of evolution is safe, but then ... except in what sense? And ok, that teachers are all communists (...), but who is that Darwin studied in school? Beyond the neck of the giraffe, I do not remember anything else! What then, so you're convinced that Lamarck was an idiot and actually had a great evolutionist too!
But what is the basis of anti-evolutionism? Ignorance.
As long as people will be ignorant can believe that evolution and creation are two theories, and of course choose the right one, what God teaches us through the mouth of the pope. The problem is not asking questions, accepting the word as it is. And when that man starts to ask questions? When is baby! If at that age he is told: "God created man in His own image and likeness" and maybe it warns against criticism of the Word, he will grow up with that phrase printed on the head and that you will not want to put in discussion. The church plays this: ignorance, fear.

And so Moratti and Dale (1) become the defenders of the divine word, against the heretics and scientists, perhaps, communists!

(1) Joseph Dale: geneticist known as an opponent of scientism, and has published numerous books including "Forget Darwin "(1999), as a journalist fights assisted fertilization, the removal of organs, animal testing.
