Robert J. Burrowes has a lifetime commitment to understanding and ending human violence. He has done extensive research since 1966 in an effort to understand why human beings are violent and has been a nonviolent activist since 1981. He is the author of ‘Why Violence?‘
As I read of the latest coup in Brazil, once again removing a democratically elected leader from power, my anger surged. Not again! However, as I see and read about the ongoing massive protests, as well as calls by prominent community leaders to mobilize in defense of your country’s democracy, I feel great hope for Brazil. Having been a nonviolent activist for many years, I would like to support Brazilian activists to develop a nonviolent strategy that will increase your chances of success.
Behind the scenes, of course, the United States elite was heavily involved. With vast quantities of highly profitable fossil fuels, mineral and forest resources, as well as fresh water at stake, the US elite (and its allied elites) is not going to stand aside while Brazil and BRICS endeavour to create a more just world for at least some of its human inhabitants. See ‘Impeachment of Dilma Rousseff: Brazil’s Parliamentary Coup and the “Progressive Media”‘http://www.globalresearch.ca/brazils-parliamentary-coup-and-the-progressive-media/5543597
Despite what has happened and as your ongoing street protests demonstrate, you know that you do not have to accept this outcome. You also know that you do not have to wait until the 2018 election to register your disapproval of this coup.
Given my own support for your right to elect any president of your choice (and to remove them if necessary at a subsequent election), I invite you to consider planning and implementing a nonviolent strategy to remove the coupmakers in your country and restore the president that you elected.
Vitally, the strategic goals need to include mobilizing people in strategically focused ways and causing the police and military to withdraw their support for the coupmakers. It will usefully include causing key local and foreign corporations to withdraw their support too. This would usually include corporations involved in the weapons industry, the mainstream media, banks and the resource extraction of fossil fuels, strategic minerals, forest products and fresh water. To make it clear, I have listed a provisional set of strategic goals that you might consider modifying as appropriate below.
Of course, as suggested above, you will need a comprehensive strategy and it might take some time to plan and then fully implement.
However, if you do plan and implement a comprehensive strategy, you have every chance of reversing this coup with minimal loss of life. For example, the article ‘Nonviolent Action: Minimizing the Risk of Violent Repression’https://nonviolentliberationstrategy.wordpress.com/articles/minimizing-risk-violent-repression/ identifies 20 things that you can do to minimize the risk that your mobilizations will be violently repressed. This article was written after a careful study, throughout history, of nonviolent mobilizations that were met with extreme violence.
Suggested Strategic Goals in a Nonviolent Strategy to Liberate Brazil
Strategic goals that would usually be appropriate for resisting a political or military coup include those listed below although, it should be noted, the list would be considerably longer as individual organizations should be specified separately.
Of course, individual groups resisting the coup would usually accept responsibility for focusing their work on achieving just one or two of the strategic goals. It is the responsibility of the struggle’s strategic leadership to ensure that each of the strategic goals, which should be identified and prioritized according to your precise understanding of the circumstances in Brazil, is being addressed.
To cause the women in [women’s organizations WO1, WO2, WO…] in Brazil to join the liberation strategy by participating in [your nominated nonviolent action(s)/campaign(s) and/or constructive program activities]. For example, simple nonviolent actions would be to wear a national symbol (such as a badge of your national flag or ribbons in the national colors), to boycott all corporate media outlets supporting the coup and/or to withdraw all funds from banks supporting the coup. For this item and many items hereafter, see the list of possible actions you can take here: ‘198 Tactics of Nonviolent Action’. https://nonviolentliberationstrategy.wordpress.com/strategywheel/tactics-and-peacekeeping/198-tactics-of-nonviolent-action/

To cause the foreign managers and technical workers [working for resource extraction corporations X1, X2, X…] who are from [the United States and other relevant countries where the elite supports the coupmakers in Brazil] to withdraw from Brazil.
To cause the workers [in trade union or labor organizations T4, T5, T…] in [the United States and other relevant countries where the elite supports the coupmakers in Brazil] to interrupt the supply of military weapons to Brazil.
To cause the workers in [trade unions or labor organizations T7, T8, T…] in [the United States and other relevant countries where the elite supports the coupmakers in Brazil] to interrupt the transport of [military personnel/military weapons] to Brazil.

To cause the members of [your exile communities E1, E2, E…] in [the United States and other relevant countries where the elite supports the coupmakers in Brazil] to support your liberation struggle by participating in [your nominated nonviolent action(s)/campaign(s) and/or constructive program activities].
To cause the students in [students organizations S4, S5, S…] in [the United States and other relevant countries where the elite supports the coupmakers in Brazil] to support your liberation struggle by participating in [your nominated nonviolent action(s)/campaign(s) and/or constructive program activities].
In the struggle to make this world the place of peace, justice and environmental sustainability that it could be, the people of Brazil have been playing an inspirational role. You do not need to let this coup be more than a temporary setback. You also have solidarity allies around the world and many of us are willing to assist you, if you decide to let us play a role too.
6 Real Cyber Attacks vertical Out of a Bad Hacker Movie
artist thinks that computers run on black magic and hackers are wizards. In motion, computers can blow up houses, shut down highways, Release plagues and make Matthew Lillard attracting women. however,within the other hand, Our collective groaning about how laughably unrealistic these movies are seemed to be premature, Because sometimes reality of digital mayhem comes very close to sounding like the plot description of Swordfish 2: Travoltuna.
6. A judgement Bomb Detonates Siberia
keep in mind how loud you shouted “bullshit” When the hackers in Live Free or Die Hard used their computer wizardry to ignite a bunch of gas pipelines? many do, in the process. really, Tuck your napkins into your collars and plan to eat some exploding crow, Because it turns out that that actually happened., Six years prior to when the Die Hard franchise was even a thing.
so you see, The CIA under the Reagan government found out that the KGB had been stealing technology from the West for years. individuals. “, The CIA decided to feed the KGB a big, Fat booby trap in what may be the primary uses of a idateasia review Trojan virus. They more or less had a list of things they knew the KGB would definitely steal, So they added a special item to the mix: A computer software used to help idateasian.com review regulate gas pipelines. military services then dropped a “reasoning bomb” In application and waited, using not to laugh.
“Send a thousand large chicken wings to Kamchatka. It’ll be uproarious,
A logic bomb essentially makes a program switch to a different mode after running into the millions cycles (to be changed its “judgement”). The pipeline progams logic bomb was set to go off after 10 million cycles. The KGB thieves weren’t stupid they checked the stuff they were stealing but since the software was first working fine, They brought it back to a pipe in Siberia that extended into Western Europe, Singing songs of their luck.
The program ran fine for a couple of months (the aforementioned 10 million cycles), But therefore, It took the pipeline’s pumps and converters aside and told them, “Today is the day that we run a pressure test at dangerously high levels, After careful data, The CIA expected the pipeline to merely spring leaks right across Siberia. strongly, They overestimated Soviet engineering.
“In Soviet russian federation, Pipes leak on YOU a result of CIA meddling. super,
near June 1982, American early warning satellites detected a tremendously large blast in Siberia as the pipeline motherfucking exploded. The great time was 3 kilotons, Or roughly one fifth of the strength of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. it was “The most amazing non nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space, a phrase that here means “The most brain shittingly awesome spectacle ever saw by the endless folds of the universe,
5. A Laptop Brings the office of Defense to Its Knees
While we’re picking on Live Free or Die Hard, There is another scene where Bruce Willis’ grandfather finds out that the bad guy was able to shut down NORAD with a laptop. And while tech savvy audiences everyplace shared a hearty chuckle at the idea, it turns out you can totally do that. State and Defense division, Beaming related information back to its unknown master. Scrambled together a reply team called Operation Buckshot Yankee (following having a spirited round of Mad Libs) To isolate and remove the malicious code from the top secret networks. It’s like that guy nobody invited but who is theoretically someone’s cousin, Just creeping from house party to house party, Texting his friends which garage doors are unlocked for them to come by later and steal power tools.
“with no, I totally got invited here. Government devoted to tracking it down. It wasn’t finally defeated until countless machines were taken offline and reformatted, And thousands of infected thumb drives had been repossesed. goodness me, can happen! currently worst that can happen? oh yea, most suitable. idateasia review large explosions.
4. Hackers Encrypt Medical records and Hold Them Hostage
We’re guessing that no hacker outside of a made for Lifetime movie has ever broken into a person’s system, Then sent them a note made of letters clipped from fashion periodicals saying “if you’d prefer 2 sEe ur DAtA aGaiN U wiLL pAy US $50,000, little, Something that chilling yet cornball could only happen in the real world.
as an instance, by July 2012, A group of hackers got into the computer networks of a medical practice known as the Surgeons of Lake County, Stuck a proverbial flag in the earth and encrypted all that shit down. The practice’s entire database of patient medical records and other sensitive documents was no longer offered to anyone, Completely shutting down the companhy. Then the hackers posted are just looking for ransom note to the medical practice, Demanding an undisclosed amount of cash for the release of the hostage information.
The medical practice turned off the server, documents be damned, Then contacted the police and notified their clients that their information had been compromised, given fuck ransoms.
“you will be doing great. now, Just extend the middle one entirely out and point it at this webcam,
And they weren’t the first victims of such type of thing in 2008, The endorsed drug benefits company Express Scripts was sent an email with the Social Security numbers and medication records of 75 customers, Demanding an unspecified sum to keep the words secure. evidently, Express Scripts to be able to put their customers’ interests first and refused to pay, Then sent all 700,000 of their potential customers (retain in mind, that’s exactly 699,925 less than the hackers had actually destroyed) To let them know that their information had probably been stolen. We guess that’s much better than just giving in, Although ideally there’d be some kind of computer code Liam Neeson you could call to relieve this kind of thing.

During his first term as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Paul founded the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (FREE), a non-profit think tank dedicated to promoting principles of limited government and free-market economics.

I grew up in Chile, got my medical degree there, began an academic career in 1970, and left for the USA due to the military coup in early 1974. My first job in the USA was working as a public nutrition professor in the international programme of Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee.
I started to travel to Africa in 1975, and worked a year in Cameroun in 1980 helping to prepare their five-year nutrition plan. I then moved to New Orleans, to Tulane University’s School of Public Health, and taught in the department of nutrition for ten years, before moving to Nairobi where I was an advisor in the Ministry of Health. Seven years there got me into extensive consulting in Africa, often on nutritional issues. In 1995 moved to Vietnam where I worked for two and a half years in the Ministry of Health as a senior primary health care advisor.
Many years of touching the reality on the ground, in Latin America, then the USA, then Africa and Asia, has made me understand that the real challenge is in the social and political determinants of malnutrition. I have devoted my writings and teaching to that. Over the years, I have found an important shift in my colleagues’ attitude and understanding towards acknowledging the basic causes of malnutrition. But yet I see little happening as a result. I submit that it is our guild’s lack of experience in the political arena that explains this dichotomy. I devote much of my energy to bridge this gap, and am a fervent advocate of empowering claim holders to demand needed changes from duty bearers. Nutrition is a perfect port of entry for that. Equity, social justice and people’s empowerment in a human rights sense is what really will make a difference.
There is no alternative but to deal with nutrition problems as indivisibly linked to social, political and environmental problems. We need to address them as such. The question is: are we all prepared to do that? The answer, in my view, decides whether we are part of the solution or part of the problem. Travelling and living in different parts of the world has reinforced my conviction that we need to get down from our academic ivory towers, and need to change the curricula of our young and upcoming colleagues, to give them the tools to act in such a context. To me, public health nutrition cannot be anything but that.

A logic bomb essentially makes a program switch to a different mode after running into the millions cycles (to be changed its “judgement”). The pipeline progams logic bomb was set to go off after 10 million cycles. The KGB thieves weren’t stupid they checked the stuff they were stealing but since the software was first working fine, They brought it back to a pipe in Siberia that extended into Western Europe, Singing songs of their luck.
The program ran fine for a couple of months (the aforementioned 10 million cycles), But therefore, It took the pipeline’s pumps and converters aside and told them, “Today is the day that we run a pressure test at dangerously high levels, After careful data, The CIA expected the pipeline to merely spring leaks right across Siberia. strongly, They overestimated Soviet engineering.
“In Soviet russian federation, Pipes leak on YOU a result of CIA meddling. super,
near June 1982, American early warning satellites detected a tremendously large blast in Siberia as the pipeline motherfucking exploded. The great time was 3 kilotons, Or roughly one fifth of the strength of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. it was “The most amazing non nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space, a phrase that here means “The most brain shittingly awesome spectacle ever saw by the endless folds of the universe,
5. A Laptop Brings the office of Defense to Its Knees
While we’re picking on Live Free or Die Hard, There is another scene where Bruce Willis’ grandfather finds out that the bad guy was able to shut down NORAD with a laptop. And while tech savvy audiences everyplace shared a hearty chuckle at the idea, it turns out you can totally do that. State and Defense division, Beaming related information back to its unknown master. Scrambled together a reply team called Operation Buckshot Yankee (following having a spirited round of Mad Libs) To isolate and remove the malicious code from the top secret networks. It’s like that guy nobody invited but who is theoretically someone’s cousin, Just creeping from house party to house party, Texting his friends which garage doors are unlocked for them to come by later and steal power tools.
“with no, I totally got invited here. Government devoted to tracking it down. It wasn’t finally defeated until countless machines were taken offline and reformatted, And thousands of infected thumb drives had been repossesed. goodness me, can happen! currently worst that can happen? oh yea, most suitable. idateasia review large explosions.
4. Hackers Encrypt Medical records and Hold Them Hostage
We’re guessing that no hacker outside of a made for Lifetime movie has ever broken into a person’s system, Then sent them a note made of letters clipped from fashion periodicals saying “if you’d prefer 2 sEe ur DAtA aGaiN U wiLL pAy US $50,000, little, Something that chilling yet cornball could only happen in the real world.
as an instance, by July 2012, A group of hackers got into the computer networks of a medical practice known as the Surgeons of Lake County, Stuck a proverbial flag in the earth and encrypted all that shit down. The practice’s entire database of patient medical records and other sensitive documents was no longer offered to anyone, Completely shutting down the companhy. Then the hackers posted are just looking for ransom note to the medical practice, Demanding an undisclosed amount of cash for the release of the hostage information.
The medical practice turned off the server, documents be damned, Then contacted the police and notified their clients that their information had been compromised, given fuck ransoms.
“you will be doing great. now, Just extend the middle one entirely out and point it at this webcam,
And they weren’t the first victims of such type of thing in 2008, The endorsed drug benefits company Express Scripts was sent an email with the Social Security numbers and medication records of 75 customers, Demanding an unspecified sum to keep the words secure. evidently, Express Scripts to be able to put their customers’ interests first and refused to pay, Then sent all 700,000 of their potential customers (retain in mind, that’s exactly 699,925 less than the hackers had actually destroyed) To let them know that their information had probably been stolen. We guess that’s much better than just giving in, Although ideally there’d be some kind of computer code Liam Neeson you could call to relieve this kind of thing.
