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)."

Interesting and upsetting to read:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=22211

Censors block WikiLeaks website; Interpol issues arrest order; Canada demands Assange be killed
..
*

At the latest since wikileaks announced that it will publish highly charged "Bank Documents", Julian Assande, the Initator of Wikileaks is fugitive under an "alive or dead" warrant and siege.

Just to recall, commenting on Ethiopia and the "new foreign capital" grabbing the country (phenomena "land grabbing") I pointed in a flash of emotion, that....

http://berhane-aymero.blogspot.com/2010/11/flash-of-emotion-in-morning-ethiopian.html

"... an Autocracy is ... in such an environment, the most vulnerable form of Administration. If this happens to be radically "national" and a "nuisance" by hampering the "development" of the exogenous "new Capital", the latter can get rid of the "top man" by the "stroke" of the million dollars it pays to a professional "killer" or its "intelligence headquarters" at the service of the big capital dominating the region."

Imagine the fugitive Wikileaks initiator, Julian Assande to be "a leader of a State". He were a "dead man " long ago!
*
What a disaster for all the "masters" of Democracy.

Wikileaks seems to put all - the global "Masters" of Democracy on the
test-bench ? "Mafiocracy" or Democracy?

*

Wikileaks ...Updates (2)

"For the past three days, the WikiLeaks website (http://wikileaks.org/) has been under a massive "distributed denial of service" attack, "exceeding 10 gigabits a second," according to the world's most widely used whistleblower website. Amazon shut down WikiLeaks servers, it reported today on Twitter. But that's the least of its problems. Yesterday, a senior advisor to the Canadian Prime Minister issued a televised fatwa on Julian Assange. Today, Interpol posted its call for arrest of the website's founder and Ecuador withdrew its offer of asylum."

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=22211

*
The real scandal is the fact that, all the merits of Enlightenment - "Human rights, democracy, rule of law etc." are mercilessly thrown overboard, when it comes to the point of transparency.
For the centres of power -political power- the crux of the rule seems to be "Law and Order" under the principle of "እኔ ከሞትኩ ሰርዶ አይብቀል።"
As the Ethiopian saying goes: ' The Ass said, " After my death, let all grass be cursed not to flourish".

Under "the rule of transparency" the whole affair of "wikileaks" is a testimony of how upsetting and primitive the history of mankind and specially "the modern man" is; to speak with the words of Foucault:

‘the general principle of a new “political anatomy” whose object and end are not the relations of sovereignty but the relations of discipline’ (Foucault, 1986a: 208).

*

1) As quoted in the essay : An analytics of power relations: Foucault on the history of discipline; ROGER DEACON (2)

Abstract: ".......Via techniques of confession and ascetic conduct, faith and empiricism, and selfreflection and everyday reality, western political rationalities, in the form of combined totalization and individualization technologies whereby some (struggle to) discipline others even as all (are exhorted to) discipline themselves, have come to dominate the globe."

Wikileaks...Updates

The Updates on Ethiopia may come in the following days. I think they will be published in alphabetical order - one top-down and the other vice-versa; interpreting the actual one: Brazil & UK.
*
http://cablegate.wikileaks.org/reldate/2010-12-01_0.html

*
The website said has 1,395 cables that originated from U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia and a total of 1623 records on Ethiopia. Of the 1,395 cables that originated from the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, 162 are markedSecretand 612 are markedConfidentialand the rest asUnclassified”. The cables, which date from 1966 up until the end of February this year, contain confidential communications between 274 embassies in countries throughout the world and the State Department in Washington DC.
*
http://cablegate.wikileaks.org/
*
The period from 1966 up to 1991 would be more interesting for the future of Ethiopia (with a political reconciliation process), to find out how one whole naive generation, in its struggle for social justice, is played off to partially serve the dismantlement of its own state, instead of achieving an enlightened democratic and modernized state.

If only "THEY ALL" knew that Wikileaks is in a way liberating them from their "prejudices"- -The "attitudes" which are "the chains, that bind" (1) them all together in a nutshell. A nutshell of diverse "prejudices", that have been ransacking the globe with conspiracy and misery, since mankind stepped into nature (2)!

God bless the Age of Information! The new era , the new face of Enlightenment! Post-modernity seems to get its "Hero" !? Nonetheless it has to be remarked that the affair has an intriguing after-taste, that this should happen during the "Obama Administration"/After the conservatives, the champions of conspiracy, lost power/; i.e. with all their limitations, while social reforms are being introduced in the US.

There is an Ethiopian saying:
' The Ass said, " After my death, let all grass be cursed not to flourish".

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.

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

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)
