Sustainche™ likes movement

Sustainche – while enjoying German snowy winter time – for the longest time thought that this country and its citizens can not move AT ALL. Ok, Sustainche admits that it is really difficult to move 82 Million citizens … something similar like 360 degrees turning an oil-tanker on a postage stamp. 

In this respect, Sustainche during this week was amazed when he followed an underwater volcanic eruption reaching the ice-covered German surface. A new movement was born in Germany: The Solidary Modernity / Die Solidarische Moderne !

 

What happened ? On Sunday 31 January 2010, 150 people met in Berlin and founded ‘The Institute of Solidary Modernity’ as a think tank for finding alternatives and new paths beyond the real existing Neoliberalism. Sustainche enjoys reading the headlines

Social Justice
Solidary Economy
Ecological Justice

on the front page of the institute’s web site. “Well, I’m only a small Polar Bear, but to me this sounds very much like the three pillars of Sustainable Development”, Sustainche is sure. 

Interesting enough and as soon as the web site was launched on Monday, more than 300 additional members joined the club. Today more than 1,700 people subscribed the newsletter and the facebook community sees an explosively growing number of more than 1,600 members.

What does all this mean ?

First of all, it means that beyond the often described political lethargy and privatisation of living there is a general resentment against what politically happens at the moment in Germany.

Secondly, the political establishment in ALL political parties is obviously not able – or otherwise too busy – to think beyond daily politics and remains in the trenches of reproaches and networks of intrigues.

Thirdly, the reservoir and critical mass of Sustainable Development inspired members of the civil society is large enough to now take the future in their own hands. 

Sustainche enjoys this kind of movement and takes pleasure in supporting The Solidary Modernity ! … ok, the name might need some rethinking and future revise …

Sustainche™ supposes it’s just a point of view

Yes, Sustainche supposes it’s just a point of view ! 

A blanket of nice, white snow has covered Germany. When Sustainche looks around and virtually takes away people, cars and houses, at least it looks a bit like he remembers his home Polar Region. When winter arrived there this was the time of pleasure ! The water of the Polar Ocean started freezing and there were plenty opportunities for hunting seals near the ice holes. There was eating and ‘zivej’ every day during the dark winter time. It was only the moon to provide light and mum’s body heat was enough to enjoy the strongest blizzard.

Human mammals in this part of the world with a temperate/mesothermal climate also know winters … some of them even more than 50 winter times. Although having such a long experience many human Germans don’t like winter weather. “Ok, this can happen”, Sustainche thinks. “Suppose it’s just a point of view.” 

However, what Sustainche can’t understand is that many people here seem to be really surprised every year again that it ‘dares’ snowing during winter. If there is snow for more than one day – which is also not very unusual according to the weather records of this climate region – this appears to be a ‘catastrophe’ (from Old Greek καταστροφή, the turn to ultimate decline) already. Then TV stations send their journalists to the most endangered and blizzard vulnerable regions in Germany and make them report about each and every single catastrophic event they can become aware of … even if it is a normal idiot who drives with summer tires in the snow. “Suppose it’s just a point of view.” 

Of course German human mammals have heard something about global warming. Just recently in Copenhagen in December 2009 they were bombarded by the serious message, that if global warming can’t be limited to 2°C than mankind will have a serious problem. And now the Germans find themselves stuck in the snow … and can’t enjoy driving their cars … which for sure is the most sickening thing that can happen to a normal German. “Hmmm … it might be that the Germans and other Europeans did not listen carefully enough”, Sustainche assumes. “Nobody said that with climate change the daily weather will become precisely 2°C warmer,” Sustainche starts to elaborate. “Weather is weather, and climate is climate … ; every first year Geographer student learns that climate is a time category of many years, usually 30 years of weather record as classically defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).” Interesting enough and although claiming to have received one of the best school educations on Planet Earth, the majority of Germans obviously have some problems with Geography topics … and this goes beyond knowing where they are and in particular where they enjoy their holidays. 

Yes, Sustainche is surprised. Nobody told the Germans that with global warming there will be no winter for them any more. Really nobody ! However, what was indeed published and publicly presented already during the 1970ies by Professor Dr. Hermann Flohn – a famous German Meteorologist and Geographer – is that during the time of climate change the EXTREMES of weather events from one year to another or within one year and in specific regions (extreme rainfall, dry spells, hail, strong thunderstorms and even tornadoes) will become more abundant. Exactly this happens now: There was the extremely hot and dry summer 2003 and there was the snow rich winter 2005/2006, now probably followed by another snow rich winter 2009/2010 (at least in north-eastern Germany). “Suppose it’s just a point of view. Suppose it’s also just a point of view in terms of geographical location what will be the real surprise in terms of climate change.” Sustainche concludes.

By the way, surprise, German humans: It is still not decided yet whether climate change due to human induced global warming might trigger something like the Younger Dryas Period which happened towards the end of the last glaciation between approximately 12,800 to 11,500 years ago … or at least something like the Little Ice Age, which ended only about 120 years ago in Europe. In this respect this winter’s ‘snow chaos’ can be nothing else but some kind of ‘warming up’ training course …

Sustainche starts singing:
“Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we’d live our lives together
And not estranged” …

Enjoy as well !

Sustainche™ is inspired !

Sustainche during the peaceful Christmas days enjoyed reading about Jesus of Nazareth. Not everything that he found is according to Christian religious belief. Never mind, Sustainche is inspired by both, the historical figure of Jesus as well as by what his followers reported about him. 

First of all, Sustainche felt a bit sad when he understood that the Holy Night story unfortunately is nothing else than a nice legend. Well … Sustainche would have loved the idea that the Messiah and Son of God was born in a rather poor environment, somewhere in the fields, rest in a crib and being guarded by sheepches, donkey and ox. In fact, also Jesus’ youth obviously was not very spectacular. Most probably, Jesus worked in the profession of his father, Joseph, as carpenter or village craftsman. So far, so good ! Until here, we could speak about a normal life of some young boy in the nowadays Palestinian territories two thousand years ago. 

However, the first unusual event is reported in the Gospels, presenting Jesus’ engagement in frequent ‘question and answer’ religious debates with Pharisees and Sadducees, who represented the religious establishment of its time; indeed, even today this is remarkable for a young carpenter. Sustainche on the other hand was really surprised when he noticed that it was only around the age of 30 years when Jesus started travelling by foot in the rural regions of historical Galilee, Judea and Samaria and began preaching, teaching, and healing. Sustainche is sure that Jesus must have been a strong charismatic person to collect so many fellows during the shortest possible time of only three years of his wanderings. 

Of course, Sustainche with pleasure read the ‘Jesus and the Money Changers in the Temple’ story, when Jesus said to those who sold doves: ‘Get these out of here! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!’ Wow, this must have been a great show, and Sustainche wonders what Jesus would do today with bankers during nowadays ‘Global Financial Crisis’. Very unusual for his times as well as in strong contrast to Roman Catholic present practise, Jesus recruited males and females as his closest fellows. Honestly, Sustainche can’t understand why females are not allowed to say anything in today’s Catholic Church and priests are not allowed to get married. “Hmmm … this can not be the original position of Jesus”, Sustainche is sure. It is very clear for Sustainche: Jesus of Nazareth introduced a new message in the world; the message of LOVE. Therefore Sustainche feels that Mary Magdalene at least played a major role in Jesus’ life. Isn’t this nice ?! Sustainche by looking at his big red heart is very happy. 

Yes, Sustainche is confident that the true story of Jesus of Nazareth was a love revolution, and a life unplugged from society conventions and traditional worriers behaviours. How nice … Sustainche is reminded on Neo and Trinity in The Matrix ! 

Sustainche’s central question is how it was possible for Jesus to overcome both, the religious authorities as well as the world’s leading power of that time, the Roman Empire ? Sustainche does not want to speculate, but it seems that human mammals even after 2,000 years still remember Jesus of Nazareth because of his death. A young man who persisted preaching about love and peace was sentenced to death and crucified. Jesus’ only ‘mistake’ was that he challenged the establishments. Jesus’ mother Mary and Mary Magdalene stood under his cross, and not by accident it was Mary Magdalene who reported about the empty tomb, an event that stimulated the believe of Jesus’ resurrection. “Indeed, true love reaches beyond death !” Sustainche confirms. 

Sustainche asks himself what he can learn from Jesus’ life in favour of his personal life vision, Sustainable Development ? True change needs to touch the heart and therefore can not be a matter of violent revolution. Yes, Sustainche is sometimes deeply disappointed and even angry … like Jesus in the Temple. However, Sustainche feels well prepared for a peaceful revolution. Polar Bear Sustainche has a big heart and he believes in a better quality of life where love has a much higher value than any material prosperity. From this perspective, Sustainche somehow is a Christian … perhaps the first existing Christian Polar Bear. Sustainche remembers that the power of love brought Neo, The One in the Matrix, further than anybody else before. Yet, both Jesus and Neo knew that they would need to make the final step of their path of life alone, without their beloved Mary Magdalene and Trinity. At the end of the day, Neo had no doubt that even though he would be able to destroy Agent Smith, millions of other Agents Smith would wait for him. The only way to finally succeed was to sacrifice himself in order to achieve freedom for his people. It was and it is inevitable !

Wishing a Happy New Year 2010 with Love, Peace and Sustainable Development !

Sustainche™ wants to know where The Balkans begins (III)

Concluded 

Well, to make it short: In 2008 Hypo Group Alpe Adria came in tremendous financial turbulences. The Global Financial Crisis exposed within a few days that Hypo Group Alpe Adria in fact is bankrupt, and so is the mother bank BayernLB. “Well, from a Geographers perspective a tsunami seems to be a quite helpful event in order to map vast subsurface swamplands of joint political and financial corruptive interactions”, Sustainche is convinced. Indeed, dubious national and international banking businesses, falsification of balance sheets, fraud, nepotism and money laundry is not restricted to countries that are traditionally called The Balkans. “Yes”, Sustainche concludes, “the Balkans does not begin in front of Vienna; the Balkans in fact DOES begin in Munich, Bavaria.

Sustainche is sad and speechless at the same time. When leaving Macedonia he thought that he safely escaped from the region of corruption, fraud, nepotism and money laundry, and now he finds himself in the same kind of surrounding environment, which by no means is in favour of Sustainable Development and a better quality of life. Also here politicians trample on each and every small flower planted and nursed by citizens to support Sustainable Development ! 

In the meantime the BayernLB is extremely happy to have sold their share of the Hypo Group Alpe Adria for only 1 (in words ‘one’) Euro (!) in order to not increase the losses beyond 3.8 Billion Euro. Hypo Group Alpe Adria is nationalized by the Republic of Austria and the Austrian tax payers start enjoying to pay the bill in the magnitude of 19 Billion Euro, which otherwise would have wiped out the wonderful tourism paradise Kaernten from the financial map of the world. Bavarian politicians now need to explain their beloved citizens that Balkan-Munich is not a financial centre of the world, and that unfortunately they have no moneyski left to support kindergarten and school education as well as University studies. 

All in all Kaernten politicians feel extraordinarily happy; they have a good laugh having shown the Bavarian provincial dwarf-(locally called ‘Provinzwichtl’)-politicians on the spot that they are the better Balkan boys. Sustainche would imagine that the honourable ‘Club of Best Balkan Boys (CBBB)’ already organized a huge Christmas party to celebrate the great victory with oro and skara in Hotel Aleksandar Palace in Skopje … wonderful ‘Golden Macedonia’ … wonderful ‘Golden Balkans’ …  

Merry Christmas, World !
Sustainche

Sustainche™ wants to know where The Balkans begins (II)

Continued

“Ok, so, let’s have a look further north”, Sustainche becomes enthusiastic. North of Slovenia there is a country situated that is called Austria, and Slovenia’s bordering Province (‘Bundesland’) is named Kaernten. Kaernten is a famous tourism resort for many foreigners. Kaernten for quite some time was ruled by an internationally famous local Prime Minister (locally called ‘Landeshauptmann’) whom many foreigners thought to be a right-wing populist, if not a Nazi. He tragically died in a car accident in 2008. Kaernten is also famous for a bank called Hypo Group Alpe Adria. In one way or another Hypo Group Alpe Adria Bank was always under control of local Kaernten politicians, and it were these politicians who fostered the banks expansion to the countries of Ex-Yugoslavia on the Balkans. Since 2004 Hypo Group Alpe Adria Bank is subject to various investigations on dubious national and international banking businesses, falsification of balance sheets, fraud, nepotism and money laundry. “Well, all this is expected to be very much likely for Balkan countries, isn’t it”, Sustainche thinks and he remembers that some strange mutual aid between banks and politicians were also discussed in Macedonia. 

Ok, some malicious Germans anyway express the strong opinion that the Balkans begins in Vienna, which somehow refers to the historical event that the Turkish Empire in the year AD 1683 stood in front of Vienna and there was besieged by a coalition of various Christian troops, among them Bavarians. 

Bavaria today is a so-called Free State within the Federal Republic of Germany. Bavarian culture is well-known to be different from other Germans’ behaviour in various ways. Bavaria is a famous tourism resort for many foreigners. Everybody around the world knows the legendary ‘Munich October Festival’, when annually in September absolutely normal people become so drunk that they don’t know where and who they are. Bavaria for quite some time was ruled by an internationally famous right-wing conservative local Prime Minister and – let’s say – businessman. He was so successful, and transformed Bavaria from an agrarian backyard into a prosperous business country, that he was always elected Prime Minister with more than 50% support by his beloved voters. Some Bavarians even today believe that the said Prime Minister and his ruling political party have also built the Alpine Mountains in order to support a flourishing tourism economy. There were also Bavarian Prime Ministers afterwards, but these politicians by no means were as successful as THE ONE AND ONLY Prime Minister. Of course Bavaria has its own Bank, called BayernLB. In 2007 the BayernLB all of a sudden discovered that the people in Bavaria and Kaernten have something in common in terms of culture and business behaviour. Therefore, the BayernLB bought the majority share of the Hypo Group Alpe Adria for 1.6 Billion Euro. Sustainche’s Blog readers might easily notice that the year 2007 is only three years later than 2004 . Sustainche remembers that he saw huge advertisement posters in Kisela Voda and Skopje proudly announcing the arrival of the Hypo Group Alpe Adria in Macedonia.

Sustainche™ wants to know where The Balkans begins (I)

Sustainche is well aware that Christian humans soon celebrate Christmas. This is to remember the birth of Jesus of Nazareth who as Jesus Christ gave the name to Christianity. During this time of the year Christians enjoy listing Christmas stories. Therefore, Sustainche has the great pleasure to present his very special Christmas story. 

Once upon a time Polar Bear Sustainche was born somewhere in the Polar Regions.  He does not know where exactly. It is assured that Sustainche lived in Macedonia, a country that is situated in the southern part of the Balkans. Now, that he arrived in Germany, Sustainche feels privileged to be able to discuss cultural behaviours and business approaches from different perspectives, for example the Central and the South-Eastern European perspective. 

Being a Geography student Sustainche is used to first of all spatially define the region he wants to discuss about: The Balkans. The Balkans takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia. Thus, the Balkans is basically a topographical-geomorphological description, which since Turkish times describes the chains of wooded mountains that are bordered by the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean and Black Sea in the west, south and east; the northern boundary is usually given with the Danube, Sava, Kupa and Krka rivers. 

Countries which are geographically fully or significantly located within the Balkans are: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro. Concordantly, Slovenia, Romania and Turkey are located mainly outside this given Balkan region and are therefore not considered to be Balkan countries. 

Well, Sustainche is quite aware of the fact that the Greeks do not like to be named Balkan people. Unfortunately, the topographical-geomorphological allocation of Greece is without any dispute. Sorry, my Greek friends ! Sustainche has read lately in the newspapers that the newly elected Prime Minister of Greece, Georgios Papandreou, announced: ‘We either change our behaviour, or our country will collapse.’ Mr. Papandreou referred to the tremendous state deficit of 300 Billion Euro which equals to unbelievable 12.7% of the country’s gross national product (GNP) and he further on elaborated that all this misery is due to continues corruption, nepotism and fraud.

Sustainche is sure that if he would ask anybody on the street somewhere in Germany, corruption, nepotism and fraud would be typical characteristics which normal citizens would find to describe the Balkans culture and business behaviour. In this respect the Balkans indeed could be spatially re-defined, let’s say based on perceived socio-economical behavioural attitudes. “This sounds to be a very interesting geographical exercise”, Sustainche agrees, “and I’m excited to see in particular how the northern boundary of the Balkans will be altered. 

While living in Macedonia Sustainche remembers that many Macedonians considered the Slovenians to be thieves. After Yugoslavia’s break up Slovenia used some kind of creative bookkeeping tricks to show off as to be a quite rich country and Slovenian companies were usually overrated in terms of their value. All this was of course a nice start-up in the new capitalistic freedom. “Hmmm … , Sustainche thinks, “I’m not sure whether this qualifies Slovenia to be included in the club of Balkan countries.” True, on a worldwide scale ‘creative bookkeeping’ sounds rather normal … as normal as for example in Japan.

Sustainche™ proposes to organize the ultimate strategic retreat (II)

Concluded

At a time when mankind finds itself at the defining moment of its history, Sustainche proposes the politicians in Europe and the western World in large to stay in front of their citizens and say: ‘Dear citizens ! We did not tell you the inconvenient truth*. It is high time for organizing the strategic retreat from our present way of living**. The period of growth is over and this period will never return. Our entire society system failed and our desire for steady growth has devastated our Planet. Planet Earth is in peril. We acknowledge that the Chinese will win the global competition at the end. This is just because of their overwhelming number of people; the Chinese might not even need to draw their wild card; the bonds of debt they hold and which they can ask to pay back tomorrow morning. Let us not surrender with a white flag in our hand. Let us excuse for the mistakes that we have made, both to the Planet and to those people that we and our ancestors have exploited and which generated our wealth. Let us change towards a new quality of life where more in terms of material quantity is not important any more. Does it really make us depressive if we can not eat strawberries during winter time ? Is it too much demanding if we enjoy our home-grown garlic rather than the garlic grown thousands of kilometres away ? Let us shift towards Sustainable Development as we already agreed upon in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Let us be clear without any stupid compromises. The strategic retreat is without alternative ! We have no other choice any more !’ 

Sustainche wonders who among the distinguished European leaders is prepared to give such a speech: Is it Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Mr. Barroso, Mrs. Merkel, Mr. Sarkozy hand in hand with Carla Bruni or Mr. Berlusconi … as soon as he is able to speak again … ?

Never mind, the voters of Germany’s general election of course were neither informed about such a situation without alternatives nor did they actually wanted to hear such a message: ‘Organized strategic retreat ? Pyromaniacs know best how to deal with fire !’ “In some way this is true”, Sustainche agrees. However, Sustainche recognizes that now, only two months after the general elections, Germans start having the weird feeling that their elected professional pyromaniacs simply don’t know what to do. Old ‘professionals’ who have had their time and no vision for the future, people without any capacity for anything except photo shootings and children without any life experience form the new Government. And now that many see the Titanic start to sink everybody tries to save his and her own skin … Sustainche doesn’t want to use the word ‘ass’: ‘Champagne and orchestra music on the upper first class deck and no space any more in the rescue boats for those under-privileged species on the lower emigration decks. 

“Cheers Titanic ! Well done, Germany ! Congratulations !” Sustainche is impressed by such a magnitude of ignorance !

* Ferenc Gyurcsány, Hungarian Prime Minister, September 2004 till April 2009. 

** Sustainche™ thinks about la génération précaire (II), 13 August 2009
“The inconvenient truth is that it is the time now to organize the decline of European and western World societies in large.”

Sustainche™ proposes to organize the ultimate strategic retreat (I)

Hello pitiful ‘Globalized World’:
Global man-accelerated Climatic Change, Global Financial Crisis, Global Economic Crisis, Global Schweinche Flu Pandemic, Global Génération Précaire, Global self-destruction of both Socialism and Capitalism within the shortest possible period of only 18 years … and then, finally, the last real-existing Communistic country on Planet Earth, The Peoples Republic of China, is celebrating the ultimate victory – world’s history it seems is not without a sense of dark humour … . Sustainche anticipates human mammals to have reached the period of consequences, whether they like it or not.

Sustainche is fascinated to observe how human mammals react in such a situation. Germany, for example, just two months ago held general elections. And what did 47% out of only 70% of all voters vote for ? They changed their Government from a coalition of two majority parties with Conservatives and Social Democrats in favour of a smaller coalition constituted by Conservatives and Liberals. Polar Bear Sustainche is not in favour of any of these parties. He doesn’t like political parties and mainstream thinking at all. Non-Germans, however, should understand that in particular the Liberals are those politicians who during the past decade strongly promoted exactly this well-known financial system that now was identified of having created the over and over discussed ‘Global Financial Crisis’. ‘Hands off from Governments’ influence in the markets !’ was the credo of these years. “Strange, isn’t it”, Sustainche thinks. “Now, that every possible crisis that human mammals can imagine is presented on the table, and citizens start to see their homes burning, they vote for a fire brigade full of distinguished pyromaniacs.” 

What does this mean, in general as well as specifically for Sustainable Development ? Are human mammals not able to think ? Are they blind to see ? Did human mammals not develop beyond the status of chimpanzees that will grasp the first available banana they are able to catch, even knowing that there are four bananas for them if they only wait a few minutes more … ?

Sustainche™ thinks about Public Participation and a Grass-Root-Parliament in the Spa (II)

Concluded

Sustainche is bored by watching Parliament discussions on TV. This was the case already in Macedonia, but it is even truer in Germany now. “These are strange people who today arrive in Parliaments”, Sustainche thinks and he wonders what these guys and girls are really able to do in real life. “Perhaps these people never found a friend when they were young, no other kids wanted to play with them and now they take final revenge”, Sustainche speculates. Sustainche honestly can not understand what keeps parliamentarians busy the entire day. In general Sustainche has the feeling that party leaders understand the majority of parliamentarians to be some kind of well-disciplined ‘yes/no-voting cattle’; nothing more. It is true: most parliamentarians not even remotely understand what they vote for. Beyond this, Sustainche has the strange feeling that parliamentarians are not even parliamentarians, but lobbyists and puppets on the strings who are allowed to play ‘Kermit Show of supposed Democracy’. 

Sustainche would like to start thinking the unimaginable … everything that was impossible in the past and is forbidden until today …

Sustainche presents his 10 points manifesto:

1. Grass-root Parliaments replace existing Parliaments;
2. Candidates for Grass-root Parliaments need to show their capacity by passing a Sustainable Development examination;
3. Candidates for Grass-root Parliaments are elected with a direct mandate of citizens for five years; proportional representation and party lists are forbidden;
4. Candidates for Grass-root Parliaments are committed to the Agenda 21 document as formulated and agreed upon in Rio de Janeiro 1992;
5. Grass-root Parliamentarians’ major duty is to discuss and decide about all issues of Sustainable Development as outlined in the National Strategy for Sustainable Development and its Progress Reports as well as the European Strategy for Sustainable Development;
6. In order to be relaxed and to enjoy, Grass-root Parliament session shall take place in spa centres;
7. Spa centres around Germany shall take bride in hosting Grass-root Parliament sessions in a rotational manner;
8. Grass-root Parliamentarians naturally speak free and without any manuscript;
9. Grass-root Parliaments supervise Sustainable Development implementation units;
10. Specifications will be discussed and developed further on.

Sustainche is cheerful !  

By the way: Did you know that a Grass-Root-Parliament in the Spa already exists ? Yes, in Iceland ! Iceland – volcanic island – geothermal water … this is clear. And again, yes, Iceland is bankrupt … also this is public knowledge. Therefore Iceland citizens don’t want to behave like sheep any more and don’t want to follow their traditional shepherds. They feel free and don’t hesitate to enjoy taking their future in their own hands … very much relaxed, with pleasure and enjoying in their spas …
