Greece's Golden Dawn party embracing extremist role
By Andy Dabilis for Southeast European Times in Athens -- 17/09/12
Golden Dawn capitalises on an anti-immigrant stance, but many Greeks refuse to accept the party.

Although Greece country suffers through a crushing economic crisis, most citizens are not desperate enough to embrace the hate rhetoric and immigrant-bashing of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party.
"They have a bad history and violence breeds violence," Athens resident Stavros Petropoulos, 35, told SETimes. "People are in despair, but Golden Dawn is a trend and they will be over."
The extremist group, which was regarded as a joke three years ago when it won only 0.29 percent in elections, got 6.97 percent this year to garner 18 parliamentary seats on an anti-immigrant platform and now has the support of 10 to 12 percent of voters, polls show.
But its leaders have been anything but parliamentarian after taking their seats. Several of its MPs took part in a party raid, smashing immigrants' stalls at a local fair, causing some to call for authorities to pull their political immunity.
The neo-Nazi party embraces an extremist ideology. They promised to rid the country of illegal immigrants and plant landmines on the borders to make sure no more came in. They put up hate flyers around Athens' gay club district. They said people with disabilities were undesirable. They even threatened to unleash "stormtroopers" on Greece.
Founded in the early 1980s by backers of the vicious military junta that governed Greece from 1967 to 1974 and tortured opponents, Golden Dawn party members wear black T-shirts bearing the meander, an ancient symbol that resembles a swastika. It gives away food and calls for blood banks for Greeks only, conjuring recollections of Aryan superiority messages in Nazi Germany.
Golden Dawn's leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos, who has twice been imprisoned and tossed out of the military, gives bombastic speeches against those he perceives as enemies, including the parliament, and has targeted the disaffected and dismissed criticism and suggestions the party should be banned. He would not talk to SETimes despite repeated requests for interviews.
"We feel disgusted in the parliament," Golden Dawn's leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos said in August. [Reuters]
With nearly 2 million people out of work and the country's politicians and rich elite above the fray, Golden Dawn has associated itself with the working class and poor, and played on the fears of illegal immigrants overrunning the country, who they blame for a surge in crime.
PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos said, however, that disdain for Golden Dawn is widespread among the mainstream parties. "Parliament cannot become a place for those nostalgic for fascism and Nazism," he said.
George Tzogopoulos, a research fellow at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy in Athens, said the party's popularity should not be a surprise.
"Its rise is a normal phenomenon in a time of crisis," he told SETimes. "When people suffer, they tend to endorse the rhetoric of extreme parties."
Yiorgos Tsalikis, 45, a clerk at a fast food outlet in an Athens neighborhood said many Greeks who support Golden Dawn don't like what it stands for, but have given up on the country's leaders. "It's because of the despair people feel, they are desperate and don't trust politicians," he told SETimes.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, overseeing an uneasy coalition with his otherwise rivals, the PASOK Socialists and the tiny Democratic Left, has been forced to take a harder turn to the right, ordering a roundup of illegal immigrants to be put in detention centers around the country.
Supporters of Golden Dawn secure an area where fellow party supporters are distributing food to residents suffering from the economic crisis at the Syntagma Square in Athens. [Reuters]
"Many Greeks are for different reasons disappointed by the established political system and they express this disappointment, or anger by voting for Golden Dawn which appears itself as an anti-systemic movement," Klapsis said.Alex Afouxenidis, a sociologist at the Athens-based National Centre of Social Research told SETimes that, "Golden Dawn managed to bring together a number of people who existed across the established political spectrum. There have always been many, many people in Greece with such opinions, extreme right wing, racist, and highly conservative."
"I don't like them, but they are the only party that does something," Yiota Lazarou, 18, told SETimes.
Alexandros Sakellariou, a sociologist and researcher at Panteion University in Athens, told SETimes that he's worried that young Greeks especially are ignorant of the Nazi occupation of Greece and atrocities. "This means that the ground is fertile for Golden Dawn," he said, adding that he thinks the party is dangerous.
"They attack immigrants and other social or religious groups and homosexuals and Muslims, threatening them that they are the next to come. Golden Dawn does not have any legitimate place in the government, but it does have a legitimate place in the political arena from the moment it is a legitimate political party," he said.

In practical terms, dollars are valuable because other people will give you stuff or do things for you in exchange. Or at least they will if you can convince their bank to change the digits in their bank account. Their bank has to trust your bank which has to trust you. It all works because we all trust it will work. And why do we trust that it will work?
There are governments and laws to back them up. Why do we trust the government and laws? In practical terms we trust the government and laws because... well... they have ballot boxes. And judges and police forces. But mostly we trust the government and legal system because it sort of works and is often not abusive. At the bottom, it's because there's this web of trust which collectively holds everything together. Until of course, it doesn't. Because there isn't a bottom, it's turtles all the way down.
If you haven't heard of Bitcoin, let me give you this non-technical summary. Bitcoin is a recent implementation of the idea that money based on a web of cryptographically secured assertions is sounder than money based on a web of governmentally secured assertions. If as many people believed in cryptography as believe in astrology, we'd be using Bitcoin today.
The magic result is that an entity that gets society to trust its currency can then print money.
When the currency is truth rather than coin, judges and guns don't work so well. Traditional hierarchical authority systems are breaking down. What's replacing them is open authority systems. Systems such as wikipedia which allow everyone to participate in the construction of truth, not by being correct, but by being fixable. And to the frustration of many, Wikipedia delegates all its authority to things that are "citeable".
So how do you get to be an authority that Wikipedia believes? The two criteria that seem to matter most are
- Openness. If wikipedians can't read you, you don't exist.
- Authority. People need to believe you.
As usual, I take a long time getting around to my point. Which is this: If you want to be in the business of printing truth, the best license to choose for your business is the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). For now. And if you're printing science, medicine, technology or even philosophy, I really hope you want to print truth.
The Creative Commons part speaks to the need to be open. In the age of the internet, you can't print truth and keep it secret. No one will believe you.
The Attribution part builds your most valuable asset, your reputation. No one believes anonymous assertions.
You might ask about other options, for example, Non-Commercial (NC), No Derivatives(ND), Share-Alike (SA).
I've written about reasons to use NC and ND. Those reasons don't apply to the truth-printing business.
Can you imagine if your dollar bill said "This note is legal tender for all non-commercial debts public or private". That would be silly. The whole point of money is that it doesn't change depending on its use. And its the same with truth. There ain't no such thing as non-commercial truth. You can't control the uses of the truth you print. You can't even demand that people who consume your truth share that truth the same as you do..
A lot of people get confused about using no-derivative licenses. They think that if you print that the sky is blue, your credibility will be hurt if someone reprints a derivative of your truth and says the sky is black. But that's exactly what the attribution requirements prevent. But more than that, if you print your truth as chiseled in stone, then no one will believe it in a few years or so, because we all know that the truth hasn't been chiseled in stone for at least two thousand years. Nowadays we can make cryptographically strong proofs that assertions aren't being fiddled with and were made by the entities they're attributed. We can track the trail of assertions through history. And the provider of that chain of provenance is you, the truth printing proprietor. The longer the trail of conflicting assertions, the more crucial your authority as a truth printer becomes.
The problem of turning the currency of truth into harder currency is left as an exercise for the reader.

SEGUIMIENTO METEOROLÓGICO ESPECIAL 29-9-2012 TEMPORAL DE LLUVIA EN CATALUÑA
Fantástico día de lluvia este pasado sábado día 29 de septiembre del 2012, día en el que recibimos en Cataluña una buena ración, causado por la borrasca que viajó desde el Suroeste peninsular hasta nuestras mismas costas, dejando abundantes cantidades de precipitación en prácticamente todo el territorio catalán, exceptuando el Pirineo de Lleida, donde las lluvias apenas acumularon unos litros.
Registros que superaron los 100 mm. en muchos observatorios, lluvia que cayó sin ser torrencial, pero que al estar más de 15 horas lloviendo sin parar, los ríos y rieras se llenaban de torrentes de agua marrón por la gran cantidad de litros caídos durante la jornada, aunque afortunadamente lo hicieron en mucho mayor tiempo que en el Sur y Sureste peninsular, donde finalmente se han producido, hasta el momento, 10 víctimas mortales desgraciadamente.
Viendo las imágenes de los radares meteorológicos, tanto de Cataluña como de toda la península, podemos ver el movimiento que tuvieron estas precipitaciones, y como al llegar al Mediterráneo, comenzaron a tener movimiento ciclónico, es decir, movimiento contrario a las agujas del reloj, perfectamente acordes al movimiento que la borrasca les daba. Es espectacular ver como se movían de forma casi circular, entrando a Cataluña por la zona de Girona y saliendo por la costa de Tarragona.
En este vídeo también se ve perfectamente el movimiento de esta borrasca en las imágenes del satélite. Fijaros en la banda de nubes que vienen hacia Cataluña tras recorrer la zona sobre el Mediterráneo. Se ve perfectamente como al llegar frente a la costa catalana, las nubes comienzan a crecer y expandirse como un abanico, realmente una imagen espectacular, dando una idea del por qué de esas lluvias tan intensas y extensas.
Curiosamente, las tormentas no aparecieron durante la jornada en nuestra zona, solo afectaron a los dos extremos de Cataluña y también fueron activas sobre el mar, como se ve en el mapa de rayos.
En Sant Boi se recogieron 60.2 mm. durante el episodio de 2 días de precipitaciones, una gran noticia para nuestros bosques y, por supuesto, nuestra zona del río y toda la vegetación de ribera.
Destacar la crecida que sufría el río Llobregat, más que notable, comparado con el caudal que ha llevado durante todo el verano, bastante seco.
Destacar también el estado del mar, bastante alterado, cosa que hizo, por ejemplo, que el triatlón que se tenía que disputar en Gavà se acortara y no se disputara el apartado de natación en el mar.

SPUC's Anthony McCarthy debunks the gay lobby's 'bigot' label
"I think objecting to what Nick Clegg said doesn't equate to bigotry! ... I think his statements about gay marriage, the fact that the Lib Dems coalition government never put in any proposal for gay marriage in their coalition agreement or even in their manifestos, and this is one of the most important changes being proposed ever, makes me rather suspicious of Mr Clegg."
"The proposals for gay marriage completely redefine marriage; they turn it into a genderless institution ... [T]here's no reference to children whatsoever, and also there's no rationale, then, for not privatising marriage, or even having incestuous marriages or having threesomes as we're seeing now in Brazil. All of that foundation which we build around children is actually shattered at the level of law, with this new conception of marriage."
"We're not going to be bullied by people who fling names at us rather than listening to our arguments. Calling people 'bigots' is not an argument, it's not particularly clever and it's rather bullying." Liddle: "... [I]t marks you down as people not to be taken seriously." Anthony McCarthy: "Yes. The other thing, it lumps - and I know that Peter Tatchell does this very often - he tries to draw parallels with racially-mixed marriages and with the opposition to that in some American states some time back ... I do think that (opposition to racially-mixed marriages) is bigotry, without a doubt; but of course those (were) heterosexual marriages. They did nothing to change the nature of marriage, so we are dealing with a completely different kind of argument there. Yet this constant lumping-together, to depict the opponents of (same-sex marriage) as bigots, is a form of thought-control. I hope people can see through it."

Model Cities Update
As our readers will recall, the oversight and transparency commission, headed by Paul Romer resigned en masse because they were shut out of the negotiations with Grupo MGK, and when they asked, denied permission to review the Memorandum of Understanding between Honduras and this group.
This lack of transparency seems not to bother Porfirio Lobo Sosa one bit. With the removal of Romer and the other "transparency commission" members from the oversight and approval process, this means that the Honduran Congress has all the oversight and approval power in the Model Cities process.
In a 50 minute interview with Michael Strong on a libertarian internet radio program on September 10, we learned that Strong plans that his model city will be in the valley around San Pedro Sula, and is not interested in the other locations being discussed. So much for idea that model cities would be in uninhabited areas: the San Pedro Sula area is the business and industrial center of the country, a region already host to many free enterprise zones (maquilas). San Pedro itself is the country's second-largest city.
Michael Strong is not proposing to build Paul Romer's vision of a model city.
Strong's vision differs, he says, in four key ways. First, it is based on the entrepeneurial model he says rules in Silicon Valley: start small and when that works, scale it up. In Strong's Free City, residents have access to the best laws without having to be governed by foreigners. Strong sees this as more respectful of local autonomy and sovereignty than Romer's model. Third, the governor, a Honduran, chooses what legal systems are available to the residents. Thus residents can have contracts based on Honduran law, or, as Strong advocated in the interview, on Texas business law, because that is the closest to the 19th century ideal he favors. Strong says, finally, that his model does not rely on a land grant from the Honduran government, but rather purchases the land to increase its size as needed.
There are signs that this normally rubber-stamp Honduran Congress is restless about the Model Cities project, however.
Juan Orlando Hernandez, the head of the Congress, and a presidential candidate for the National Party, announced this week that any vote establishing the bounds of the land for Grupo MGK would be delayed until after the primary elections in November. Ostensibly, the reason was that there were then 24 legal challenges to the law filed with the Supreme Court-- a number now much, much higher.
Practically, model cities are a political hot potato with the electorate. Moving the vote after the primary elections may also be intended to prevent voter backlash.
Meanwhile, Hernandéz main legislation writing proxy in the Congress is hard at work, trying to fix the flaws in the law, presumably so that after the primaries, Hernandéz and company can proceed with their ever-evolving introduction of new colonialism in Honduras.

「太極拳する身体」をつくること,初心者はそこからはじめます。(李自力老師語録・その19.)
わたし:とんでもない話ですね。太極拳がまったくわかっていない。ひょっとしたら,楊名時さんの健康体操としての太極拳のことを言っているのでしょうか。
李老師:たぶん,そうだと思います。彼女の頭のなかには,太極拳は武術であるという発想はまったくありません。完全に健康体操の一種だと思っているようです。こういう人が多くて困ります。
わたし:じゃあ,剣でも持たせて太極拳をやってもらったらどうですか(笑い)。あるいは,長拳でもやってもらったら?
李老師:そんなことより,15分で太極拳を教えるという発想がまったく理解できません。たぶん,ゆっくりした動きなので,だれにでもすぐできると考えているのでしょうね。愛好者のなかには高齢者の方たちも多いことですし・・・。
わたし:そうですね。わたしの周囲にも太極拳はかんたんだと思っている人がいっぱいいます。
李老師:太極拳の稽古ははじめる前に,すくなくとも15分以上の準備運動が必要です。少し上級者になれば,30分はしっかりとアップして,太極拳のできるからだをつくります。それから太極拳の稽古に入ります。でないと,筋肉を傷めたり,怪我をしてしまいます。ゆっくりと動くということはとても大きな負荷がかかるということです。このことがわかっていない。困ったものです。
わたし:太極拳は健康のためにいい,というキャッチ・フレーズが世間に広まりすぎているように思います。だから,みんな単なる健康体操だと思っているんですよね。太極拳だって,ほかの武術と同じで,やり過ぎればからだを壊してしまいますよね。わたしも,夢中になって稽古をやり過ぎたときがあって,からだが奇怪しくなったことがあります。そのときに,先生から「やりすぎ」といって注意を受けました。
李老師:そうです。太極拳は上達するにつれて,太極拳をする身体ができあがってきます。それとともに稽古の時間や回数も増やすことができます。初心者は,しっかり準備運動してからでも,太極拳の稽古を15分もやればからだが悲鳴をあげます。それで,もう十分です。それ以上やると脚の筋肉を傷めてしまいます。ですから,まずは,じっくり時間をかけて太極拳をする身体をつくりあげることが大事です。ある程度,からだができあがってくれば,相当に無理をしても大丈夫になってきます。長時間の稽古にも耐えられるようになってきます。それまでは焦ってはいけません。いま,できあがっているからだのレベルでの稽古しかできません。それ以上の稽古を無理してやっても,ほとんど効果はありません。
わたし:なんだか坐禅の話とよく似てますね。初心者が無理をして頑張って坐禅をしてもほとんど効果はないといわれています。道元さんは「修証一等」(しゅしょういっとう)ということを言っています。これは,修行と悟りとは「一等」である,つまり,ひとつのことで表裏一体なのだ,というわけです。悟りに応じた修行しかできません,と説いています。
李老師:なるほど,よく似てますね。太極拳も徐々に,徐々にからだが出来上がっていくにしたがって,稽古の質も上がっていくということです。どの道もみんな同じことを説いていますね。老家思想も太極の思想も同じことを説いています。
わたし:それはそうでしょうね。禅は,インドから伝わった仏教と老家思想や太極の思想と接触することによって生まれたと言われていますから,同じでなくては困ります。
李老師:太極拳をするからだは,少しサボるとすぐにレベル・ダウンしてしまいますから,毎日,ほんの少しでもいい,自分のからだに合った稽古をつづけることが大事です。
わたし:ありがとうございました。今日はこの辺で。

日本触媒 事故原因と重合
アクリル酸の温度上昇
日本触媒の防火設備について、記事では触れられています。
ただし、窒素の投入は燃焼を防ぐことはできますが、化学反応は別問題です。
高分子ですので、重合開始剤、もしくは何らかの要因で反応が始まれば、温度は上昇します。
重合反応について
一度、反応が開始されると、温度が高ければ反応は早まります。
日本触媒姫路工場は、爆発の1時間前にアクリル酸の温度が異常に高まったことが報告されています。もし、重合反応の条件が揃っていれば、温度上昇は、急速に反応が進むことを意味します。
これは、管理人の想像ですが、タンクの下から中に向かって力が加わり破損した可能性はないでしょうか(あくまで想像です)。
重合防止剤の不足 点検の有無の可能性について
オギョモ (@ogyomo) 2012/09/30 05:17:37 from Echofon @Portirland 得られている情報だけでの推測。毎日JPには「爆発で飛び散ったゼリー状の物質」とあるので、これはポリマー?同じく「アクリル酸を中間貯蔵する円柱形のタンク」とあるので、貯蔵タンクと判断。よって重合防止剤不足→自然重合→温度上昇→暴走反応を起こしたのかな、と。 |
tamugon(嫌東電)脱原発に70億票 (@Portirland) 2012/09/30 05:29:09 from SOICHA @ogyomo 情報深謝です。連続生産中に起こるとすれば、前からもあり得ると思うので、定期点検か何かでプラント止めてたと思いますか? @ogyomo @Portirland 得られている情報だけでの推測。毎日(cont) tl.gd/jfifsv |
オギョモ (@ogyomo) 2012/09/30 05:49:02 from Echofon @Portirland そこは目を付け忘れていました。>「連続生産中に起こるとすれば、前からもあり得ると思う」仰る通り連続運転ならば起きなさそうですね。ふつう重合防止剤濃度低下って長期保管とかが原因ですし。そうなるとやはり仰るように定期点検等の理由で止めていたかですよね。 |
管理人は、定期点検か何かで、当時、何らかの設備が停止していた可能性が思い浮かびました。
どちらも推測ですが、今後の報道を見るうえで、一つのポイントになると思います。
温度管理について
tamugon(嫌東電)脱原発に70億票 (@Portirland) 2012/09/30 06:02:51 from SOICHA @ogyomo 仮に重合としても、温度が低ければ反応は緩やかでしょうし(ただ、内部の反応熱によるものと、量によるとは思うのです)。 @ogyomo @Portirland そこは目を付け忘れていました。>「連続(cont) tl.gd/jfij4r |
オギョモ (@ogyomo) 2012/09/30 06:30:23 from Echofon @Portirland 温度管理はとても気になります。仰る通り温度が制御できれば反応も抑えられますし。モニタはしているが制御していない、はあり得そうですが、6m弱のタンクなので冷却機くらいはついていても良さそうです。管制室で温度上昇を捉えたそうなので、モニタは出来ていた? |
化学反応で熱が発生しますので、反応が始まると熱により連鎖的に反応が加速します。
爆発の1時間半前に、温度の異常上昇は捉えられており、モニタリングはされています。
冷却機の稼動状態・重合開始(していたとして)に対して十分に冷却できる能力があったのかどうかも、一つのポイントになると思います。
オギョモ (@ogyomo) 2012/09/30 13:35:33 from Echofon @Portirland ちなみに北大大谷教授はリアクタの暴走反応という見解ですね。 goo.gl/p7W3h というか日本「触媒」だから触媒系の学者さんに伺ったっぽいですが、この事故についての見解は同業他社か高分子、化学工学系の人の方に聞くべきではないかと。 |
大谷文章・北海道大触媒化学研究センター教授(触媒反応化学)の話 アクリル酸は別の有機化合物の酸化反応でつくるが、それは熱が出る反応。いわば燃えているようなもので、反応を制御して温度の上昇を防がなければならない。何らかのトラブルで制御ができなくなると反応は暴走し、温度の上昇が止められずに発火する。
今回の事故では、反応の暴走で生じた熱が中間貯蔵タンクに伝わって、火災や爆発につながったのではないか。またアクリル酸から合成樹脂をつくる反応である重合でも発熱する。この際にも暴走することがあり、事故にはこの過程が関わっている可能性も考えられる。
オギョモ (@ogyomo) 2012/09/30 14:35:02 from Echofon @Portirland すみません、大谷教授のTwitterによると共同通信からの連絡でコメントをしたそうなので、日経取材ではないそうです。大谷教授は自分のフィールド内(タンクの前段リアクタでの触媒反応)でお話をされていますね。うちみたいに門外漢なのにあれこれ推測するでもなく。 |
オギョモ (@ogyomo) 2012/09/30 14:35:30 from Echofon @Portirland だんだん分からなくなってきました。大谷教授曰くタンクの前段(プロピレン→アクリル酸)、後段(アクリル酸→各種ポリマー)のリアクタでの暴走反応なら、タンクより先にリアクタで温度異常が検知(それ以前に温度制御)されるべきですし…また何か情報あれば共有します。 |
ただ、現状は化学プラントの、前後の工程の状況と状態を含めて、不透明な部分が多いです。

事故原因について、推測の内容が多いですが、それを否定・検証するためにも、当時の状況について情報が必要です。
日本触媒は、可能な限り素早く、詳細な情報を出すべきであると思います。HomeAny source
