		<description>EL JUEZ GARZÓN Y GUANTÁNAMO.




Rafael del Barco Carreras




Abril 2009. Para quien ha pasado TRES AÑOS en La Modelo de Barcelona, 1980-3, que un juez español investigue GUANTÁNAMO, ya no es que sea una ininteligible falacia, que merece profundos estudios psiquiátricos o sicológicos, a la par que sociales e históricos… por el olvido colectivo de una perversión propia de las peores cárceles del TERCER o ningún Mundo. 

Garzón podría citar a todos los vecinos de unos 50 años de edad de alrededor del tétrico edificio que muchas noches, en masa, salieron al balcón gritando “asesinos, asesinos…” por los alaridos de los encadenados en LOS SÓTANOS DE LA QUINTA GALERÍA, perfectamente audibles. O consultar varios sumarios con “muertos”, verdaderos “asesinatos”, y como aun vivirán familiares y denunciantes… interrogar. !Qué ni han prescrito y sin alcanzarles la injusta Ley de "borrón y cuenta nueva"!

Él disfrutaría, porque en este sumario, no debería dictar un auto pidiendo la partida de defunción de FRANCO (habían pasado cinco años de su muerte), y aunque hayan muerto varios, el director CAMACHO (una verdadera bestia), viven de los que borrachos en sus guardias nocturnas se divertían torturando. Inmensas palizas…con muertos. En Barcelona eso lo saben todos los JUECES Y FISCALES de entonces, pero no buscan Guantánamos para montar numeritos… con olvidarse de lo sobreseído y archivado, basta. Preguntar al Presidente actual de la Audiencia, José Luis Barrera Cogollos, digno sucesor del de entonces Alfonso Hernández Pardo, con quien compartió Tribunal ESPECIAL (montado solo para ese caso "jueces contaminados") en el Juicio por el Consorcio de la Zona Franca, donde se me condeno a esos tres años pasados en prisión.

Las imágenes que tanto se han difundido de las especiales prisiones americanas son “infantiles” comparadas con lo que he vivido y visto… en una prisión rodeada de una CIUDAD que ya había votado PROGRESISMO SOCIALISTA, y que poco le importaba si allí había inocentes (que por las habituales torturas y sistema judicial los había muchos) o terroristas con decenas de muertos. 2.600 hacinados, y ríanse del “Expreso del medianoche”. 

En www.lagrancorrupcion.blogspot.com reproduzco las páginas de “Barcelona, 30 años de corrupción” para refrescar la memoria con el propio relato del primer juez de Vigilancia Penitenciaria en Barcelona, el otrora gran amigo de Garzón, Gómez de Liaño, preguntándose que fue de aquellas denuncias.</description>

		<description>I agree with Paul Krugman &lt;http://tinyurl.com/b6ajlh&gt; and am concerned that there is not enough spending. The problem was the negotiations with Republicans over the content of the package started in the house. Concessions were quickly made, yet the house Repubs never had any intentions of voting for it in the first place. That strengthened the hand of 3 senate Repubs and they ended up calling the shots for the entire package! I hope that is the last time the new president weakens his hand so early in negotiations.

Obama's speech last nigh was pitch perfect and the country needed to hear it.</description>

		<description>Ordinary hardworking American....please address the PORK...
there is total avoidance of the ridiculous items in this
stimulus package. Nothing has changed. Major rewards for big
contributors. Dumb things we don't need. Cut the crap. If there is "Joe the Plumber", I'm Dianne the Mother. I pay my fair share and more. Rewarding the gladhanders in Congress
must change. Where is the "Messiah of Change"? Nothing has
changed, he just has asmoother tongue.</description>

		<description>So, as long as King was only standing up for the African American plight, he was a media "plus." But when he started bluring the racial lines and changed the line from black &amp; white to rich &amp; poor; and then also came out against the Viet Nam war and started trash talking our foreign policy, he became a media "minus."? Was media, even in the mid 60's, influenced by the gov. and the $$$? Nothing has changed in 40 yrs.</description>

		<description>So typical of IL.  I guess old governor's in IL don't retire they go to prison.

I propose that since the Cubs were involved in this they forfeit some 2009 games.  A court order to this effect would be appropriate.

We need faster production of dolls - a Blago doll with a striped jumper outfit would be great right now.</description>

		<description>The jobs will be lost either way because in order to survive the big 3 need to become leaner and meaner.  GM's plan to congress contained thousands of job cuts.  It seems to me there will be fewer job cuts in bankruptcy because the companies will be able to restructure their union contracts and reduce costs to be competitive with the foreign competitors making cars down south.  Without restructuring of the contracts they will have to cut more jobs.

If Ford can avoid filing while GM and Chrysler do, and then they combine, Ford will be in a sweet position.</description>

		<description>Jeff, It has been said that 1 in 10 jobs in the US is related to the auto industry. That may not be exactly right. However, how should the government handle the thousands of jobs lost in the short term? Won’t government money end up being used to support these people through unemployment, etc? By the way, I don’t think Ford would end up in bankruptcy without the money.</description>

		<description>I like it how Obama is pulling in these people who were blacklisted by the Bushies because they were interfering with the "agenda" but in the end turned out to be speaking the truth. Or, who were much smarter than the current administration wanted to let on.

Who's next?</description>

		<description>Let them declare bankruptcy.  It's the only way to restructure the ridiculously expensive union contracts that are killing all three companies.  The government could structure a guarantee for customers' warranties to eliminate the only objection I've heard to bankruptcy.

In bankruptcy or not there are going to be thousands of jobs lost.  Other, possibly new, companies will buy the brands shed by the big three and will replace some of the jobs lost.

Giving them government loans now is throwing good money after bad.  All three can't survive given their current condition and outlook.  Let 'em declare.</description>
