4.0

En el mes de febrero y marzo de 2022, recién iniciado el conflicto entre Rusia y Ucrania, comenzó a circular un documento elaborado por la RAND Corporation en 2019 denominado ´´Extending Russia – Competing from Advantageous Ground’’ el cual indicaba abiertamente ser patrocinado por la Oficina de Revisión de Defensa Quadrienal del Ejército y la Oficina del Subjefe de Estado Mayor G-8 de Estados Unidos. A su vez, dicho documento indicaba que su propósito era examinar una gama de posibles medios y escenarios probabilísticos sobre la extensión de influencia territorial de Rusia y la definición de medidas, no necesariamente violentas, que podrían estresar al ejército o la economía rusa así como su posición e injerencia política a lo interno del propio país y el extranjero, con el fin de contener dicha expansión. Lo curioso de dicho documento es que aparentemente pronosticaba de una forma muy detallada, las características del conflicto que recientemente había explotado entre Rusia y Ucrania en febrero.

BrownTown continues to dialogue about the relationship between electoral and radical politics with Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez and Alderperson-elect Jessie Fuentes. With the historic 2023 Chicago municipal elections in the rearview, the team situates what this never-before-seen cohort of socialist and progressive alderpeople and new mayor means in terms of the city's social movements and political history. If electoralism is a mere tool in the toolbox in the work towards collective liberation, what potential does this new energy from Chicago's Left have to facilitate the conditions for political and social transformation?

In this fourth installment, BrownTown and the alders discus everything from the decades-long history of mayors and movement, voter turnout, the power of relationships in organizing, to pop culture-saavy internet memes. We've witnessed the number of socialist and progressive alders grow exponentially from 2015 to 2019 to 2023. As insiders, Byron and Jessie share about going from movement to municipal government while all four unpack the nuances of sustaining a liberatory praxis in relationship to the state apparatus. Originally recorded April 6, 2023, two days after the municipal run-off elections.

GUESTS
Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th Ward) came to the US alone as a teenager where he found care in teachers, coaches, and community members who gave him shelter, guidance, taught him English, and a pathway to a good education. He eventually settled in Pilsen, a historic immigrant working class neighborhood in Chicago, and worked as an adult education teacher, founding the bilingual adult education program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Byron became politically active when he successfully lead community efforts to keep a neighborhood public school open after then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel attempted to close it. Later, he served as the Director of the Pilsen Alliance and co-founding the campaign to Lift the Ban on rent control in Illinois. As alderman, Byron was the Chief Sponsor of an ordinance to curtail harassment of homeowners who have been targeted by predatory developers. He is a member of the Chicago DSA. Byron holds a BS in Mathematics and Business Administration, an MS in Economics, and is currently a PhD candidate in Urban Education Policy.

A child of Humboldt Park and a seasoned organizer, Jessie’s lived experience overcoming poverty, violence and generational trauma, coupled with her professional accomplishments, prepared her to serve the residents of the 26th Ward. Through personal resilience, community support, and restorative justice she was able to turn her most challenging life experiences into tools to uplift others facing similar life circumstances.

Toda historia tiene un antecedente. Un origen a veces difuso que se escapa a la mayoría. El tiempo juega con nuestra percepción y así medimos y juzgamos las realidades más cercanas según los acontecimientos más recientes. Aquellos acontecimientos que sí se nos son revelados y están a nuestro alcance. Pocos tienen acceso a los entresijos históricos y a aquellas huellas que si no fuera por las crónicas de la época, se perderían para siempre. 

En el caso de las guerras, pocas veces suceden por solo un factor aislado, sino que por el contrario, son fenómenos multidimensionales y archi complejos, compuestas de diferentes capas de profundidad y en la cual intervienen una miríada de intereses y figuras. 

Abramos nuestros oídos, ojos, alma y mente. Permitámonos dar paso al pensamiento crítico y rebusquemos en los orígenes del conflicto. Por primera vez, hagamos el esfuerzo por leer el PREÁMBULO de esta novela de terror. 

La historia está plagada de medias verdades y nosotros las consumimos constantemente. Las aceptamos como inequívocas y las replicamos. No solo ello, sino que nos encargamos de esparcirlas y acrecentarlas. Alguien dijo que una verdad es solamente una mentira repetida muchas veces, e incluso… una mentira con el marketing correcto. 

De hecho, hoy estamos expuestos más que nunca a una maquinaria propagandística de intereses difusos, que emplea todo medio de comunicación disponible, incluidas las redes sociales, para lograr sus cometidos. Y cuáles son esos cometidos, pues colocar en nuestros idearios ‘’una verdad’’…, ‘’su verdad’’. Y quiénes son ellos? Pues cualquiera con el poder y la capacidad monetaria suficiente para mover los entramados de la industria mediática, de comunicación y publicidad. Gobiernos, redes institucionales, empresas privadas, organizaciones no gubernamentales…, en fin. 

El 24 de febrero de 2022, pocos minutos antes de las 6 de la mañana, Vladímir Vladímirovich Putin, presidente de la Federación Rusa lanzaba de manera oficial una ‘’operación militar especial’’ en la región de Dombás, Ucrania, y casi simultáneamente se registraban fuertes explosiones en varios puntos del este de dicho país, desde Sloviansk y Kramatorsk a Járkov, a 30 kilómetros de la frontera rusa. Así daba inicio un cruento enfrentamiento entre el ejército ruso y la fuerza armada ucraniana, ambos bandos denominando a sus correspondientes cuerpos políticos como ‘’regímenes no democráticos y autoritarios’’.  Así se iniciaba un nuevo conflicto entre Ucrania y Rusia que será considerado sin lugar a dudas por el revisionismo histórico como el punto álgido y focal del quiebre civilizatorio de nuestra era pos pandemia. Punto de quebranto que realineará las fronteras conocidas y la política exterior de los herederos de Yalta. Acontecimiento que redefinirá las afinidades entre los países generando sin duda un choque entre globalismo y regionalismo, enfrentándose nuevamente Occidente con Oriente, ya no por diferencias ideológicas, sino por el choque de dos proyectos globales contrarios y cosmovisiones diametralmente opuestas. 

El 20 de enero del 2022  el Boletín de Científicos Atómicos de la Universidad de Chicago volvió a mover las manecillas del llamado Doomsday Clock, el reloj del juicio final, marcando funestamente un cruento presagio. Nos hayamos a tan solo 100 segundos para la media noche. 

Vientos de recesión económica mundial, la pandemia, crisis de la cadena de suministros global y el surgimiento de lo que parecieran conflictos inconexos en Eurasia y Asia Pacífico fueron el acabose para volver a estar, al igual que en 2021, a 100 segundos para la media noche. 

Interview mit Sebastian Scheler, Co-Founder von Innerspace

In der Nachmittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Sebastian Scheler, Co-Founder von Innerspace. Das Tiroler Startup erhält in einer zweiten Finanzierungsrunde ein Investment im siebenstelligen Bereich.

Das Unternehmen arbeitet an der Entwicklung von VR-Simulatoren für die Industrie 4.0 – mit Fokus auf die Life-Science-Industrie.

Seit 2018 spezialisiert sich das Unternehmen auf das Training von Mitarbeitenden in der Produktion von Life-Science-Unternehmen, wie pharmazeutischen Reinräumen.

In einer zweiten Finanzierungsrunde erhält Innerspace ein Investment im siebenstelligen Euro-Bereich von seinen beiden Bestandsinvestoren MAD Ventures und dem High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) sowie einem neuen Partner, dem AWS Gründerfonds. Bereits im Februar 2020 konnte Innerspace in einer ersten Finanzierungsrunde ein Millionen-Investment sichern. Das Startup wurde im Jahr 2017 von Sebastian Scheler, Bernhard Fercher und Andreas Berger gegründet.

Upward and Onward Productions Presents “Our Meeting at the Crossroads” music series episode “Red Clay Chronicles”. This segment is all about Tony Hightower’s road to jazz. Host Darren Lorenzo, takes you inside this musical experience. Join us for talks about Atlanta, the music industry and jazz. 

The art of cool has been wayward since the likes of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. As represented by these legends of jazz, cool is a state of mind, an attitude of confidence and strength in one’s craft. Jazz artist Tony Hightower encompasses a new age cool that is part homage and part regeneration. Being not only an admirer but a student of the genre, Hightower’s passion and direct connection to jazz music allows him the advantage of properly emulating the timelessness of the classics without the kitsch while still injecting his own interpretations.

Tony Hightower was immersed in multiple forms of music as a child. The son of prominent jazz vocalist Theresa Hightower, his experiences with music, jazz in particular, were ingrained in his upbringing. Regularly witnessing not only his mother perform but a wide range of talented artists helped shape his own penchants for singing and arranging. Hightower’s inherent musical expertise spans genres, allowing him opportunities to create with such talents as Lionel Ritchie, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Outkast, Dottie Peoples, Charlie Wilson and a roster of other artists and producers. Critically acclaimed musicians Freddy Cole and Wycliffe Gordon have both acknowledged Hightower’s ingenuity in regards to The New Standard, with Cole providing musical guidance throughout the conception while Gordon praised the project as a “great recording.” However, accolades for this album don’t stop there; The New Standard received a nomination, amongst veterans and major label-backed artists, as a candidate for the Grammy’s 2015 Best Jazz Vocal Album. Although the candidacy did not manifest into an official nomination, this high achievement further validates the authenticity of Hightower’s purist jazz vision.

The bare honesty in Tony Hightower’s works emit not only through his albums but also in his performances. Speaking on the live experience, he reflects, “Performing live is like a conversation, a conference call; the musicians are having a conversation on stage and then having a conversation with the audience. I enjoy the connection I’m able to have with the [listeners].” With only his passion and vocals on stage, along with the assistance of his band, Hightower confidently shares his labor of love and His respect for the cool.
