A Reminder for the Teacher

“I may be different tomorrow if some new lesson changes me. I have no authority to exact belief, nor do I desire it, for I do not feel myself to be well enough instructed to instruct others.” (Montaigne)

TEDxAmazonia speaker Zé Claudio Ribeiro

One of our speakers, Zé Claudio Ribeiro, was murdered, together with his wife, Maria do Espirito Santo. The couple was on his way home, in a agro-extractivism settlement, in Nova Ipixuna, south of Pará, a state that concentrates a big piece of the rainforest and is neighbor to Amazonas, where our event took place. Zé Claudio made his living from the extraction of nuts and other fruits and, therefore, always refused to negotiate the trees with woodcutters. The piece of land he lived in was protected by law and the cutting of trees was forbidden. But pressure was big and many settlers had already sold their land, illegally. Zé Claudio repeatedly denounced the crimes and was constantly threatened to death. He told this story during TEDxAmazonia. In his talk, he said: “They want to do with me, what they did to Chico Mendes”, referring to another murder due to land dispute in the forest. Here is a short piece on the NYTimes that tells his story. It’s worthy listening to Zé Claudio’s talk again, watch it here. If the subtitles are not shown, click on CC down the YouTube bar and they will come up. We got to know Zé Claudio thanks to Felipe Milanez, who introduced to us his exciting story, his love for the life of men and the life of the forest. But Felipe brought us sad news. The Comission of Pastoral da Terra was at the murder scene - a bridge 8 km from the house of José and Maria. At 7:30 in the morning, they left for the city, probably to denounce the threats. There, they were ambushed by two men using heavy weapons (38 gun and pistol 380). The couple was shot and the murderers even cut off one ear of each to prove the crime. They both fell beside a big tree. The police arrived around noon, according to the Commission of Pastoral da Terra, they were unprepared to protect the crime scene for the investigation. Zé Claudio and Maria do Espírito Santo were afraid, and they were going to denounce the threats.

Now, our mission is not allow the crime to go unpunished. We ask the TED community to mobilize and spread this news.

theatlantic:

Last week, the Gallup Organization released a poll showing that Americans, on average, estimate that one in four people in this country is gay or lesbian. If that number seems high, it’s not just you. Calculations of the population vary, but most recent surveys place the percentage of LGBT Americans at around 3.5 percent.  Curiously enough, Americans made this wild overestimation even before the era of Lady Gaga and Glee. In 2002, the firm asked the same question and found essentially similar results: the average estimate then was that 21 percent of men were gay and 22 percent of women lesbian. Moreover, estimates of sexuality aren’t the only place in which Americans have trouble with numbers or massively overstate the role of something they see as memorable

Why yes, heliocentricity is in here. 

Sad to say, I am not surprised.

Daniel Ellsberg:

I was the Bradley Manning of my day. In 1971 I too faced life (115 years) in prison for exposing classified government lies and crimes.  President Obama says “the Ellsberg material was classified on a different basis.”  True. The Pentagon Papers were not Secret like the Wikileaks revelations, they were all marked Top Secret—Sensitive.

Ultimately all charges in my case were dropped because of criminal governmental misconduct toward me during my proceedings.  Exactly the same outcome should occur now, in light of the criminal conditions of Manning’s confinement for the last six months.

With all these debates and movements to support and oppose the RH Bill , could somebody please tell me what happened to the Freedom of Information Bill? And the Maguindanao Massacre?
