The first 2007's A-kontra - If the science research will save us

Main theme of this issue is highly actual - the science. Four paragraphs are addicted to this. The first one is mostly inquired into embarrassments of current western science, the second is uncovering the dependence between country and science and their connection with bussiness sphere. This is followed by a story about relation of science and art and the Jiřina Šiklová's article about marxism's influence onto science research in the last regime.
Private corporations are leading the war, paying dog soldiers, disposing of regular military array, fairly big amount of money are flowing to them. They are raising their own power position. This is not an annotation to till this time unknown novel by George Orwell but hard reality of current Iraq which is treated about in the article from british SchNews - purchasable military. About trip adventures, concretly from spanish Sevilla, talks the specific travel book.
In not so far time we were witnesses of a couple of demonstrations which by way of different "aim" had the similar author - far nacionalistic and neonacionalistic block. These actions, anti-actions and their primitive medial "pulverization" is A-Kontra also interested in.
We have prepared the dialog with the member of anarchistic-studies Institute. This is rare organization with center in the USA which (by lot of different methods) supports publishing (not only) of anarchistic ideas about current worls's problems.
Large book review onto the book about anarchopunk draws its delineation in the 80's in the Great Britain. You will also read the recension to the movie "Kupredu leva, kupredu prava" (Left ahead, right ahead) and the book Cosmic snake, which with unison with main theme addicts the relation with western worlds and types of understanding the reality by tribes.
Slightly controversial is the article from one reader which is directed to parallels of the anarchism, gay-sadomasochism and the nazi-fetishism.
The capitol itself is the insert, which is composed by translation of the Sixth declarationg from Lakandon rainforrest released originally in summer 2005 by southmexican Zapata's national liberation military and the text which is showing it.
