Actividad cósmica y solar al alza, allá vamos 2012

Como sea, le hecho es que la actividad solar y cósmica va al alza o al menos esa es la percepción, tal como los mayas vaticinaron.

La mega mancha solar AR1302 emitio hace  unos días una explosión enorme y de muy elevada carga ultravioleta, dichas emisiones no han estado directamente alineadas hacia la tierra pero en los próximos días estará en linea con la Tierra así que una emisión smilar no sabemos que efectos pudiera tener en el planeta. Adicionalmente la mancha AR1302 sigue creciendo y no hay indicios de que deje de acerlo o decrezca en un futuro cercano.

Invitación a l@s compañer@s progresistas a nuestra marcha.

Estimados compañer@s progresistas;
Favor de Difundir.
  
Necesitamos el apoyo de todos los movimientos y organizaciones autónomas de México, con el propósito de detener la embestida de la Iglesia Católica, el PAN y otros grupos, empecinados en imponer en México una anticonstitucional legislación antiabortista, por medio de legislaciones estatales que reprimen el derecho de las mujeres a disponer libremente de su cuerpo, y a la sociedad imponerle el nacimiento de hijos NO DESEADOS, que frecuentemente son seres desdichados que se unen a la delincuencia. (Estadísticamente está probado que en USA bajo considerablemente los índices de delincuencia, veinte años después de la legalización del aborto en ese país)
 

En México, hay 17 estados de la República que tienen una anticonstitucional legislación que penaliza el aborto. Esta legislación ha sido introducida principalmente por los legisladores del PAN, aunque hay diputados y senadores de todos los partidos que han sido cómplices. Esta legislación es muy peligrosa ya que puede generar mucha muerte, dolor y violencia en contra de las mujeres en los próximos años (talibanización del país)
 
Necesitamos urgentemente el apoyo de los y las ciudadanas conscientes de esta problemática, ya que en estos momentos en la Suprema Corte de Justicia, con la iniciativa del Magistrado Franco, se está decidiendo sobre la inconstitucionalidad de la legislación represora de los derechos de la mujer.
 
Te invitamos a participar en la Gran Marcha que todos y todas haremos el próximo miércoles 28 de Septiembre para apoyar la despenalización del aborto y por la inmediata puesta en libertad de las mujeres injustamente encarceladas por abortar. 
 
TRAYECTO DE LA MARCHA: 
Trayecto: Monumento a la Madre, 16:00 HORAS,  Av. Reforma, Av. Juárez, Madero para llegar al Zócalo

Federico II de Prusia "El Grande" era rey, militar, filósofo, músico y ahora poeta sexual.

Encontraron un poema perdido, bastante subido de pasión:

http://www.thelocal.de/society/20110915-37615.html

Un vestigio más de Prusia que clama por renacer.


The love which joins them heats their kisses,

And leaves entwined even closer,

Heavenly sensuality! Ruler of the world!

Mother of her pleasures, always fertile springs,

Witness in my verses with your voice,

Her fire, her conduct, the ecstasy of her senses!

Our happy lovers, in their most extreme passion,

In the exuberance of love they knew only themselves,

Kisses, which dissolve in passion, sighing and die,

Arise again in a kiss and become passion again.


Y aquí un pasaje que para Senarclens ilustra la dicotomía sentida por Federico II entre sus labores reales y deseos personales.


Happy, he whose spirit is never decayed by the pomp of power,

And who knew pleasure,

A moment of passion is, for those who enjoy it,

Los muchos seis millones que los judíos siempre dicen que murieron



Desde 1902 ya daban cifras de seis millones, de oprimidos, maltratados o asesinados pero con los nazis si les fraguó esto. Seguramente el número tiene algún significado en su cultura y más en sus intereses.

Auftragstaktik o la superioridad militar táctica pruso-germana

Una sola palabra envuelve mucho más sentido y alcances que un objetivo de misión determinado, encierra todo un pensamiento y filosofía de mando, identificada la necesidad por Federico II de Prusia "El Grande" no fué sino hasta el genio militar de Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke que se formuló como un concepto que más tarde con el ascenso de Moltke pudo ser llevado y probado hasta que en 1888 apareció de forma oficial en el manual de campo del ejército prusiano. No percibido por ingleses y americanos y más difícil aún ser comprendido por cuestiones idiomáticas, "un democrático sistema de mando"  donde quienes están al frente son quienes pueden definir y determinar los alcances y las tácticas, no es raro por esto que a diferencia de otros muchos generales de los viejos ejércitos alemanes morían en el campo de batalla pues dese ahí dominaban la acción y podían definir, redondear, extender,  modificar en sí el alcance de la misión.

Auftragstaktik es sin duda una palabra más de esas al estilo alemán como Schadenfreude o Weltschmerz pero de características más delicadas, que depende como cais siempre en lo alemán de mejor preparación, criterio y también realización, no está libre de fallas pero ofrece ventajas evidentes. Las órdenes giradas por Oberst Kurt Zeitzler para invadir Francia solo fueron, atraviesen completamente las fronteras alemanas, atraviesen completamente la frontera Belga y atraviesen completamente el rio Mosa, así de sencillo... a su vez Heinz Guderian Lieutenant-General bajo su mando simplemente dijo a su XIX Panzerkorps "boleto de tren a la última estación" con ello diciendo que había que llegar hasta los poblados de la costa gala. ¿Sencillo verdad? Y la invasión procedió como ya sabemos.

Aquí dejo un ejemplo en inglés para tratar de entender en qué consiste:


In a hypothetical case an American company commander would get the order to attack and secure a certain village. He would be told to use first platoon to flank the village and third platoon to attempt a frontal assault. Four tanks would be attached to his company to support the frontal assault which would be the main effort. After several hours the company succeeded and the commander radioed back for further orders, the company commander all the while observing the actions from behind.

A German company commander would get the order to secure the village by 1600 hours period. Before the attack he would ensure that even a private knew what was expected of him during the attack. If his platoon commander and sergeant would fall, the enlisted man had to take over. The German company commander might put the allocated tanks on the heights adjacent to the village to provide covering fire or might drive them around the settlement to block the escape of the village defenders. He might take the village by frontal assault, infiltration or pincer attack -- whatever he saw fit the situation best and he would lead the attack that he had devised. After he secured the village he would pursue the remnants of the defenders and push forward with those of his elements who would not be immediately needed because he knew the overall idea of his superior was to attack and within the idea of Auftragstaktik all his actions were covered by the simple order to take the village at 1600 hours. Because of his training a German officer simply did not require detailed instruction.


This guy is coming at the U.S. military from such a different perspective that I am going to ask those who comment to read the twice piece before hitting send on their responses. 

And you thought I was tough on U.S. military education!
By Jörg Muth
Best Defense department of Auftragstaktikaffairs

Auftragstaktik. The word sounds cool even when mangled by an American tongue. What it means, however, has always been elusive to Americans. The problematic translation of that core German military word into "mission type orders" completely distorts its meaning. Auftragstaktik does not denote a certain style of giving orders or a certain way of phrasing them; it is a whole command philosophy.
The idea originates with Frederick the Great, who complained after more than one battle that his highly experienced regimental commanders would not dare take action on their own but too often ask back for orders and thus waste precious time.
Nearly one hundred years later the military genius Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke was the first to formulate the concept of Auftragstaktik. Moltke was a diligent student of Frederick's campaigns, of military history in general and philosophy. At a time when he was not yet famous and, not yet the victor of three wars, he observed the annual General Staff war games in 1858. The paperwork and the detailed orders appalled him because he knew that in war there was no time for such nonsense. During the war game critique he decreed that "as a rule an order should contain only what the subordinate for the achievement of his goals cannot determine on his own." Everything else was to be left to the commander on the spot.
In the following decades, when he rose to the highest rank of the Prussian and then the German Army, Moltke and his disciples promoted the concept in the military. However, the British military writer Basil H. Liddell Hart noted correctly, "that the only thing harder than getting a new idea into a military mind is to get an old one out." Thus Auftragstaktik, not yet known under a single name, was heavily embattled and discussed in German military journals who were then leading in the world. In 1888, the year Moltke retired, it finally manifested itself officially in the field manual of the Prussian Army.
Interestingly, the literally hundreds of American observers who were regularly send to the old continent during the course of the 19th century to study the constantly warring European armies completely missed out on the decade long discussion about the revolutionary command philosophy of Auftragstaktik. Instead they focused on saddle straps, belt buckles and drill manuals. This is one reason why the most democratic command concept never found a home in the greatest democracy. The U.S. officers simply missed the origins because of their own narrow-minded military education.
Auftragstaktik, a command concept in which even the most junior officers were required to make far reaching decisions, demanded a significant change in officer education. In the German Kadettenschulen (cadet schools) hazing was squelched in a short time. The educational reforms for the officer's training in the Prussian/German army, because of the new command philosophy, have so far been overlooked in historiography. An officer had to be taught self-confidence, independent thinking and responsibility and not to be denigrated. In addition the seniority system was not set in stone as at West Point. At a Kadettenschuleyounger cadets could with excellent performance overtake older ones. This, together with the exemplary behavior of the teaching officers, was one of the greatest safe guards against hazing. At West Point no real will ever existed to eradicate it, even though nothing is more harmful to the leadership education of a future officer.
Because the U.S. Army did not possess the command culture of the Germans and Auftragstaktikthe differences of two operations should exemplify this. The instructions for the American Forces to land in North Africa had the size of a Sears Roebuck shopping catalogue.
But when the Germans attacked France Oberst (Colonel) Kurt Zeitzler, then Chief of Staff of Panzergruppe Kleist told to the assembled subordinated commanders of the fast troops and their staff officers: "Gentlemen, I demand that your divisions completely cross the German borders, completely cross the Belgian borders and completely cross the River Meuse. I don't care how you do it, that's completely up to you."
Generalleutnant(Lieutenant-General) Heinz Guderian, commander of XIX Panzerkorps, which was subordinated to Panzergruppe Kleist, gave an even more famous order to his units in the spirit of Auftragstaktik when he told them they all had a "ticket to the last station," which were the respective towns on the French coast. How his troops got there was entirely up to them. As a result the German fast troops made unrivaled progress.
Even after studying the Prussian and German armies for decades, American officers showed a "difficulty interpreting" the concept of Auftragstaktik and most would not come closer to it when they attended the next higher military education institute.
Only a very few American commanders -- George C. Marshall, George S. Patton, Matthew B. Ridgway and Terry de la Mesa Allen -- understood the concept, even though it has never been taught to them in American military schools. In these schools doctrine reigned and not free independent thinking. Doctrine, however, is either based on past wars or on theory and thus can be no guideline for an officer in a present-day conflict.
In World War II the result was a sluggish and almost timid operational and tactical command of most U.S. units with the exception of Patton's Third Army. The dean of U.S. military history, Russell Weigley, noted correctly that when an American commander showed ferociousness or wanted to put "unrelenting pressure" on the enemy he usually had to do so "despite every discouragement from his superiors."
The Germans didn't know such hampering on the tactical level and U.S. intelligence officers noted that 22-year old German lieutenants would command battalions with great success when their superiors had fallen in battle. It is one of the core concepts of Auftragstaktik that the commanding officer is on the frontlines and fights and dies with his men. German generals wounded in battle many times, sporting a close quarter combat badge or a tank destroyer badge, were no rarity in World War II. More than 220 German Generals died in combat in World War II, in contrast to only 10 percent of that number on the American side -- and of these, less than a handful died fighting.
Auftragstaktikis such a core part of the German command culture that until recently no German has ever written a book about it. An American has never done it because it was never understood.
If you have read thus far and still don't know what Auftragstaktik means, here is an example:
In a hypothetical case an American company commander would get the order to attack and secure a certain village. He would be told to use first platoon to flank the village and third platoon to attempt a frontal assault. Four tanks would be attached to his company to support the frontal assault which would be the main effort. After several hours the company succeeded and the commander radioed back for further orders, the company commander all the while observing the actions from behind.
A German company commander would get the order to secure the village by 1600 hours period. Before the attack he would ensure that even a private knew what was expected of him during the attack. If his platoon commander and sergeant would fall, the enlisted man had to take over. The German company commander might put the allocated tanks on the heights adjacent to the village to provide covering fire or might drive them around the settlement to block the escape of the village defenders. He might take the village by frontal assault, infiltration or pincer attack -- whatever he saw fit the situation best and he would lead the attack that he had devised. After he secured the village he would pursue the remnants of the defenders and push forward with those of his elements who would not be immediately needed because he knew the overall idea of his superior was to attack and within the idea of Auftragstaktik all his actions were covered by the simple order to take the village at 1600 hours. Because of his training a German officer simply did not require detailed instruction.
So why the heck did the Germans lose the war if they had such a revolutionary command culture? As the name denotes, Auftragstaktik is a tactical and at most an operational concept, it has no advantage on the strategic level.
The other main reason for the defeat of the Wehrmacht is the sheer boundless arrogance of its officer corps. Being for so long the most famous and prominent group in a nation and admired by their countrymen and international observers alike left its pathological marks. The result became "a persistent tendency of most German Generals to underestimate the size and the quality of the opposing forces."
In the time of greatest crisis the German officer corps became its worst enemy. Traditionally, the most battle experienced officers would gain the highest ranks in the Prussian/German armies, but that had changed with the new officer selection system introduced after the Versailles Treaty. No staff officer who had never even held regimental command, and in the worst case only commanded a desk, would reach the highest ranks. That led to ridiculous situations.
During one of the many desperate situations of the Wehrmacht in August 1942 the Chief of Staff of the Army Generaloberst Franz Halder asked Adolf Hitler to allow units of Army Group North to pull back. The dictator replied that he deemed it not feasible and that "we must hold out in the best interest of the troops." Halder remarked angrily in return that "out there brave rifleman and lieutenants are falling in the thousands as senseless victims" because of Hitler's inflexibility. That, however, caused the dictator to boil over and he screamed at his chief of staff: "What do you want, Herr Halder, you who only, and in the First World War too, sat on the same revolving stool, telling me about the troops, you, who have never once worn the black wound badge?!"
And it was Halder, and not the Dictator Hitler, who basically nullified Auftragstaktikon the Eastern Front because he was no longer able to deal with the independence of the commanders of the fast troops. Hitler just took over the same system after he fired Halder.
All those immense flaws of the Wehrmacht senior officers counterbalanced the excellence in command, tactics and leadership German officers displayed in World War II. The latter explains why the German army was such an outstanding fighting force on the tactical level but still unable to win the war.
Though the mediocre professional military education of the U.S. Army has taken leaps and bounds since those dark times, never has it been attempted to introduce the most effective command philosophy ever invented into the U.S. Army.
An American brigade commander with more than two decades of experience still has to ask his division commander for permission to operate, who in turn asks the corps commander, who in turn asks the theatre commander. The latter two are usually - as it is unfortunate custom in the U.S. Army -- far removed from the battlefield. And decisions are made in an air-conditioned command bunker in Doha about a combat situation in Fallujah -- sometimes the results are merely comical, but sometimes they are fatal.
If the most important verb and the most important noun should be found for the U.S. Army and the Wehrmacht according to the vast amount of manuals, regulations, letters, diaries and autobiographies I have read they would be 'to manage' and 'doctrine' for the U.S. Army and führen (to lead) and Angriff (attack) for the Wehrmacht. Such a comparison alone points out a fundamentally different approach to warfare and leadership.
Because especially in the War on Terror there have been more and more swift actions by small units, a rigid inflexible command system has been hampering the progress of US forces all over the globe. It is time the U.S. Army assesses again its command culture.

Se pone más interesante: Marina turca escoltará a otro barco en misión humanitario a Gaza

Interesante, por fín alguien hace frente a la infamia y vómito histórico que día a día hisrael genera en Gaza y los territorios oprimidos de Palestina, si el primer barco con ayuda humanitaria fué abordado y arrasado por la virulenta y paranoide mentalidad judeo-israelí matando a muchos de sus ocupantes y esto no generó condena alguna por parte de otros países y menos un gesto de remordimiento de Israel nunca se disculpó, tal parecce que a Israel se le trata como a alguien traumadito "déjenlo que haga lo quee quiera póbrecito" y crece en asesino serial. Bueno ahora un nuevo barco con ayuda humanitaria sale hacia Gaza acompañado por la marina de guerra turca. Será interesante. A ver si no le llega un virus a los barcos turcos ahora que Israel es un hacker bélico declarado - y tolerado también - y cuando no es por armas es por virus informáticos pero siempre está dañando ese engendro de país.

Turquía que como nación en este sentido no ha cometid crímen alguno sino solo busca defender a estos barcos de ayuda huumanitaria, dicho de otro modo, es inocente, es amenazada por Israel de que este enfermo país en venganza financiará el movimiento rebelde kurdo. Que lógica política tan imbécil.

Definitivamente hay algunos que nunca debieron haber nacido.

Más eventos en el cielo: Una supernova a solo 21 millones de años luz

Como si los mayas hubiesen sabido algo los acontecimientos cósmicos se siguen succediendo unno tras otros, relacionados o no a lo dicho por lso mayas el hecho es que hemos vivido un periodo afortunado:

Una supenova ha sido descubierta a solo 21 millones de años luz por científicos de la Universidad de California y Santa Barbara. Visible en la noche al parecer tan solo con binoculares.

Alemania esclava de Israel se retira de Durban III, mientras tanto reporte indica que el ataque de Israel a flotilla fué excesivo e irrazonable.

Alemania preocupada pro no elevar el "anti semitismo" se retira de las celebraciones de Durban III una conferencia que extraña pero atinadamente señaló a Israel como un estado racista y peligroso. A la par de esto un nuevo reporte indica que el ataque de Israel a la flotilla de ayuda a palestinos el año pasado fué excesivo e irrazonable.

Alemania preocupada por mimar a un asqueroso país que se comporta como bestia rabiosa o neurótico paranoide - niño golpeado convertido a padre abusador y golpeador - empedernido. No Alemania, no judíos e israelíes el desprecio a Israel no es por conferencias es por sus acciones. ¿Cuando entenderan esto israelíes, judíos y occidentales?


Mientras tanto las tensiones con Turquía van en aumento pues esta demanda que Israel se disculpe por su acción bélica excesiva e irrazonable contra la flotilla donde perecieron ciudadanos turcos.

El reporte también condena a Turquía -estupidamente- por no evitar que ciudadanos concientes emprendieran tal acción, es decir permitirle a Israel seguir con su infamia y recomienda a Israel pagar compensaciones a familias afectadas... dinero ¡Carajo! Ni que fueran estos turcos cerdos materialistas queriendo compensar todo con dinero, creo que el panel que redactó esto tuvo una confusión histórica, los que piden dinero por todo, son otros.
