words JOSEFA Director BICYCLE DIARIES Preview
Cycling through the streets of life now get a strange but beautiful place, full of expectant eyes in an uncertain but promising. The kalitropico is an undiscovered paradise or by completing the destruction. The struggles that can give your save women and men are justified, requested convened. Social mobilization is the only alternative left. In a world system where the major institutions fail and not protect the majority. The bike is the mobility and mobilization, a salute to the biciexpedición (http://enbiciporsuramerica.blogspot.com) for the America of our forefathers. Over 500 years have passed since he came here an empire to steal and destroy, and since then we have allowed to plunder and destroy this land. They won the war at that time the English because they had gunpowder, now we must move with dignity and courage, and today we can use the powder but the empire of the moment has tons of missiles and new robots. The destruction and war it is very lucrative because then rebuild everything with their companies and their taste. We are the sons and daughters of the abuse of an empire in the past and I think it is time to lift up your head and look in the eyes of the empire of the moment. That is the mirror. The great battle of our time is against an empire that already dwells within us, in our minds, capitalism fiction, last mutation of consumer capitalism. Alika would say "do not give that power to kill you, to feed the hand that wants to crush you, Babylon is powerful because it gives you, do not want to walk along streets with names of murderers, I do not celebrate the anniversary of any oppressor or repressor of my people "Do not give strength to the empires that prey on life, the bike is also a mechanism of resistance to the hegemonic system of oil or why they believe that despite the excellent climatic and topographic conditions are not Cali have built the network of cycle routes? Do calculations to analyze: a pedestrian daily roundtrip spent 3,000 pesos in its displacement (If not more) in Cali about 200 thousand transit riders daily as the master plan study of cycle routes in 2006, if they had their bikes would have to pay 3000 pesos for a return flight ticket or whether these 200 thousand cyclists account for 600 million pesos a day left to enter the coffers are plundered by the white collar thieves. Multiplied by 30 days per month is 18,000 million pesos a month that can be used in homes for other purposes. Now, 200 000 daily riders and we have no bike paths, where they are already built, that number will multiply because many people stop riding the bike for fear of cars. A shift of empires sustainability does not suit them, if there is something for everyone in abundance no one pays, it is not necessary, the scarcity raises prices, we are taking bottled water and bags because that leaves the key is contaminated even though they charge the purification process and the more polluted the water comes from faucets sold more water which have taken over it. They do not agree that there is water for everyone, not convenient to sustainable mobility, does not suit them know your plans.
These hard times test the dignity, wisdom and courage of the people. Everywhere I look lately I see a new breed of warriors of light waking consciousness universal. Hail to the MINGA SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY RESISTANCE walking the floor for Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela giving example, showing the path of social mobilization as the fifth power mentioned Ignacio Ramonet, CIVIL SOCIETY is mobilizing against power bigger and now with the internet we globalize the struggle. We need to recover our memory, they want to erase what remains of it or modify it at will. Mobility
cycling, social mobilization, the night of peoples becomes somewhat dark before dawn. Save the kalitropico, Sustainable Mobility, to rescue our seven rivers that are dying, Defend the University Valley public education and all violence, symbolic or physical harm to the short, medium or long term. The war against terrorism is a war against thinking differently. For the dignity of our people, because most who have tried to make us forget who we are today still here, now resisting and counter-attacking. Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and gave it to men and women of the mythological era were in darkness so they could develop the culture and self-knowledge. In the eyes of each of the present and see the burning fire of Prometheus, we gather our flames and burning those ideas that got us into the head for so long. Turn off the TV and let us look in the mirror of our lives as responsible for our historical moment. 's Organize. There are many fronts of struggle: Food Sovereignty, Sustainable Mobility, Conscious Consumption, Alternative Medicine, Self-Healing, labor rights, rights of nonhuman animals, Alternative Media Production. Liberation of Mother Earth. All in Mingo, unite all causes, all are ours, unite all struggles for life and dignity of peoples, all are ours, natural resources, all are ours, royalty free copyright licenses for creative common. And so many other fronts he left out for no more than these words extend are written with the spirit of the Promethean fire that I pass on their looks.

I thank the team of PROMETHEUS PRODUCTIONS who worked so hard and for so long on this project, and who waited patiently for the results, the product of the sum of our efforts on a project open license that they do not represent monetary gain.
