Wikileaks ....Updates (4) - Ethio-Cables
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/246644
The statement needs special attention:
"Summary
"...the concept of democratic accountability on its head. Democracy in Ethiopia must
develop organically, and Ethiopians must organize and fund themselves and defend
their own rights.....(my emphasis)."(cf. Melesse in the cables)
*
I will take it literally and ...reflect
What is the discourse behind the statement?
Why is it reiterated in such a manner?
Is it authentic?
Is it for a public consumption?
Is it played ...?
Does it originate from "bad faith"/Sartre/ ...? etc.
*
Whatever it is, what does it tell about the "source" of the "opinion"? "Nationalism" in Autocracy?
*
This has to be taken as a challenge to the Ethiopian democratic sphere !
*
The cables to download
*
Worth noting in a sort of footnote : Inspite of their great purpose - TRANSPARENCY- there is some internal controversy in the life of wikleaks behind the public face. No surprise. Everything has its own morphology! (cf. Spiegel Online /German/: http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/0,1518,732889,00.html and see "The flash of the day"/ sidebar on this blog ).
Nonetheless, we need the cables! and the following discourse is valid for all "Things" (wikileaks included):
"For the theorists of the art of government, such as Guillaume de La
Perriere, ‘government is the right disposition of things, arranged so as to lead
to a convenient end’ (quoted by Foucault, 1979a: 10): ‘things’, here, refer not
only to the territory and subjects of the Prince (as in the theory of sovereignty),
but primarily to their interrelations; and the ‘end’ envisaged is no
longer the ancient ‘common good’ of obedience to laws, sovereigns and God,
but instead ‘good government’: internal to the state, under the auspices of
multiple authorities (including fathers, superiors and teachers), and involving
informed and tactical – as opposed to divinely ordained – uses of the law
(Foucault, 1979a: 9, 13). Thus, this new pragmatic political rationality,
‘instead of seeking its foundation in transcendental rules, cosmological
models or philosophical-moral ideas’ (Foucault, 1979a: 14), was premissed on
the existence of the state: ‘the art of governing is rational, if reflexion causes
it to observe the nature of what is governed – here, the state’ (Foucault, 1981d:
243, original emphasis; 1988b: 149; 1981c: 355)."

A Flash of the Day (Archive)
1. Working on the big "GOOD SENSE": The sense of Beauty.
6. Demoralization is a disgusting political tool -an expression of inhumanity employed in a social evolution, indicating the inhumanity of the employer! A disaster! (7/10/2010).
7. "In Girard's language, the law order is "mythical" and as such obeys the logic of the founding murder." (cf. Peter Robert Stork; 2005)
8. "Wenn sich zwei streiten, freut sich der Dritte"/When two people quarrel, a third rejoices... This will be a legacy; and in the 21st century, "Wenn sich zwei einigen, freut sich der Dritte" may take over. /A mutual understanding of two people rejoices the third/.
9. My quotation of the Day (8.11.10):
Baldwin’s thought: ("The Baldwin effect")
“It is as inexorable as the colour of his eyes and the shape of his nose. He is born into a system of social relationships just as he is born into a certain quality of air. As he grows in body by breathing the one, so he grows in mind by absorbing the other.’ (Baldwin, 1906: 69-70)
10. If "I AM" the observer (the conscious entity) so that the quanta of matter/mass (the wave function) would collapse to be a particle /the particle object), enhancing IT to the phase of THE Existing Reality.
Couldn't I -The Self- hope and help the spiritual energy/ my consciousness/ as well, to extend the transformed energy /After Life/to collapse into that existence of "THAT Beyond" Life (1). Life pertaining to "intelligent" energy (spiritual beings in the sphere of the Akashic Field), as the reflection of the "intelligent" matter or mass (human beings in the sphere of "thermodynamics" or gravity ). 17.11.10
*
(1) like J.Wheeler's Model of "the participating observer" in the Universe.
11. Forget Time! And mind Your Mind only (24.11.10).
I.e. "Talk about "time out of mind"!"(1)
12. Wikileaks in Amharic philo-play:
የዊቂ -ሊቅ ሰዋ ስው ...ባልታወቀ ነገር፤ሊቅ ፤ቂል ፤ ቅልቅል ፤ ቅል፤ ቀላል ቂል ወይስ ....በቃኝ ብሎ፤ ቅንጣት ቅብ -ብቅል ቀልቦ ፤ወደ ብቃት ሲቃ፤ ሲግዋዝ ይሁን ፤ ሲያንቀጠቅጥ ወይስ ተቀላቅሎ ሲያንቀለቅል።ያልታወቀ ነገር። 02.12.10
13. Gates and Centres:
Life , nature and actually the whole Universe know nothing about Top and Bottom or Up and Down. There are just centres in reality. Centres and Centres with all of them having their Gates, Gates leading to the Centres. What is wrong with mankind, always with the tick for tops and bottoms or ups and downs and not centres, but fixed to the gates, without the moral courage to move towards the centres -to build the symphony- the symphony in the SPHERE.
The SPHERE:
- The SPHERE of IDEAS is THE WORD of the SOURCE. THE WORD - The PLAY where this ASHORE and that BEYOND of the HARMONY is eternally tuned to exist in the SYMPHONY of ALL, flowing and floating like in the "Ballet piece of Joseph Strauss " -the Dynamiden Waltz- with every being offering its harmonious "musical touch". (cf. The Harmony Model)

14. መቃብር ላይ የሚፃፍ /+++ተጨማሪ!/
( via cf. "The Logic of Sense" /Deleuze) (9/2010)
2. በትርታ ይጀምራል፤ ትር ትር ይልና ይተርታል ወይንም ይተረታል ወይንም ተረት ይሆንና ይተረተራል፤ ተረት ይሆናል።(9/2010)
3. Degrading the other to "none-will" is inhuman and counter productive... The human point is to come to a common "Big-Will"(10/2010)
4. The "inner universe" (mystics) to the "outer universe" (physics) is allegorically related as the conscious mind to the virus in the human body. (6/10/2010)
5. Feeling is the language of the "inner Universe". Music/arts is the interface between the "inner" and "outer" universe.
7. "In Girard's language, the law order is "mythical" and as such obeys the logic of the founding murder." (cf. Peter Robert Stork; 2005)

15. Human DIGNITY:
21st century is the era of Liberation Movements for Human Dignity, encompassing all other Movements, to make them superfluous – non-dogmatic, non-religious and non-ethnic with the great Common Collective Will for Human Empathy!
