ZNet Venezuela Lessons of the April Coup After the coup d'état we have transferred soldiers, and the just thing is that the decisions have direct relation with the level of gravity of the implicated person. Those who really participated in the coup d'état, those who had been planning it for quite some time and those who subscribed to the operation of manipulation and support of the coup are no more than 20 per cent, and perhaps I'm exaggerating. Some military chiefs involved in the coup took advantage of the situation to control the troops by means of hierarchy and lies. zmag.org /content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=45&ItemID=2842   (7017 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: French Revolution Bonaparte's return and the coup d'état of 18 Brumaire (10 November 1799) were necessary to strengthen the glory of the French armies and to restore peace to the country and to consciences. The Directors, alarmed by what they considered a reactionary movement, commissioned General Augereau to effect the coup d'état of 18 Fructidor (4 Sept., 1797); the elections of 49 departments were quashed, two Directors, Carnot and Barthélemy, proscribed, 53 deputies deported, and laws against the émigré and non-juring priests restored to their vigour. The first was Treilhard's motion (17 December), demanding in the name of the ecclesiastical committee of the Assembly, the closing of useless convents, and decreeing that the State should permit the religious to release themselves from their monastic vows. www.newadvent.org /cathen/13009a.htm   (7795 words)

Suppressing the World's break for Economic Freedom This included picking Chilean military personnel for training at the School of the Americas (then in Panama, later in Fort Benning, Georgia, then renamed to the Center for Inter-American Security Cooperation, but properly nicknamed The School of Assassins or School of Coups). It might be said that this cleansing of the economic system is the real reason for most of the coups d’état and that political ideology has very little to do with it.... An earlier coup attempt with the CIA backing the remnant colonial elite with money and arms failed, so the CIA prepared more thoroughly for Arbenz's overthrow in 1954. www.ied.info /books/ed/suppressing.html   (189 words)

Chat de Schrödinger - Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre et gratuite Du coup, on ne sait absolument pas dire si le chat est mort au bout d'une minute. Erwin Schrödinger lie l'état du chat (mort ou vivant) à l'état des particules radioactives, de sorte que le chat serait simultanément dans deux états (l'état mort et l'état vivant), jusqu'à ce que l'ouverture de la boite (l'observation) déclenche le choix entre les deux états.
