By the time I finish this post, it will be illegal in my country

Hello again friends.

As I wrote in the title, this post will be illegal in Spain in less than an hour. Why? Because in 1 July of 2015 will come into effect the new “Ley de Seguridad Ciudadana”, the “Law of Citizen Security” or how the people of Spain call it LEY MORDAZA, in english GAG LAW.

This law was approved by the government with the oposition of the rest of political parties, the population of Spain and even the EU, the UN and the Greenpeace between many others because is the most agressive attack to the human rights, particularly to the right of freedom of speech.

In less than an hour doing something of the next list will be illegal among many other things:

Manifestations around the Congress and the Senate

Take photos or videos of the police, even if they are using force against the people. 

Stop an eviction

The pacific resistance

Tweet or spread information about a manifestation in Internet

Criticize the spanish monarchy

Spread information of the crimes of an accused party (like those participants of the government and politicians who now are being accused of corruption)

But the worst part is that, if you do any of those 44 new guidelines, you will be found guilty no by a proper judge but the government itself under the accusation of administrative offence, with a fine till 600.000 €

In short: this new law search the most agressive way to silence an entire population against one of the worst governments we ever had since the dictatorship of 1939.

NO A LA LEY MORDAZA #NOSOMOSDELITO

Vera Rubin, the woman who discovered the first evidence of dark matter, has died at 88

Vera Rubin, the astrophysicist responsible for confirming the first existence of dark matter, died on Sunday night at the age of 88.

Carnegie Institution president Matthew Scott called Rubin “a national treasure as an accomplished astronomer and a wonderful role model for young scientist.”

Rubin and her colleagues observed galaxies in the 1970s, they learned the motion of stars is a result of a “material that does not emit light and extends beyond the optical galaxy” — also known as dark matter.

Swiss astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky proposed the idea of dark matter in 1933, but Rubin’s groundbreaking work subsequently led to the confirmation of the material.

This finding is what led to the discovery that 90% of the universe is made up of dark matter, a finding some colleagues felt was overlooked and deserving of a Nobel Prize. Read more
