Parecem fenómenos diferentes, embora neles haja aspectos comuns.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Na Europa, regista-se a exasperação das forças do trabalho, com o mercado invadido por vectores de migração a fazerem baixar os preços da mão de obra, acrescendo a pressão dos fundos financeiros e outros vectores de especulação,- somados ainda ao “preço” da presença das elites árabes, asiáticas, russa,brasileira, até e mesmo Norte Americana – que fazem subir os preços do imobiliário e retiram das cidades – mesmo com propósito confessado, como está a ser o caso de Lisboa – os vectores de classe média e média baixa que nelas sempre habitaram e lhes davam a cor e a identidade.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
As classes médias foram postas em risco de vida pelo sistema e defendem-se. Como o sistema, de resto. As populações sentem-se atacadas pelos seus próprios estados. Com razão, infelizmente. E o sistema começou a defender-se contra a sua própria gente. Mobiliza a imprensa. Calunia, troça, desvaloriza.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
E a população reage pelas redes sociais. Abandona os jornais. troça das televisões. E vota onde vê apoio. A “extrema direita”, o “populismo”, defende a paz – contra a loucura da OTAN cujos funcionários querem a guerra a todo o custo – os “populistas” defendem o trabalho e a vida. (Os recentes decretos italianos são de uma evidência a dispensar comentários).Defendem até a liberdade. A França vive há três anos em estado de sítio e se a designação foi abandonada foi porque Macron introduziu na Lei, como habitual, essa solução antes excepcional.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
São poucos e pequenos os vectores organizacionais de esquerda que conseguiram resistir à descaracterização da “modernidade” da terceira via. A “esquerda” e a “direita” transformaram-se em empregados de especuladores financeiros e às vezes desenvolveram as suas próprias máfias, com parasitagens gravíssimas do aparelho de estado. Os ditos “intelectuais” fazem figuras grotescas. Apelando à defesa de uma “liberdade” que identificam com um sistema que deixou de a proteger.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
A anterior “extrema-direita” aparece com fantasias, completamente imbecis, como o “marxismo cultural” que é evidentemente uma ficção. O “gramscianismo”, dizem. Um disparate. claro, que nada tem a ver com o pensamento de Gramsci, homem notabilíssimo que, de resto, tal gente nunca leu.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Tal coisa emerge, é claro, da imbecilidade católica brasileira, “os arautos”.”Ordem religiosa” que se funda num movimento político. cujos “monges” se vestem de arlequins e andam de botas altas, pondo-se em bicos de pés para procurarem parasitar o fenómeno do grande descontentamento. Mas, onde há cérebro, a antiga direita radical refunde-se. A senhora Le Pen é disso um óptimo exemplo. E responde, ou procura responder, ao apelo social. Com êxito variável. Porém, aos novos problemas cabem melhor novas estruturas. Nova gente. Novas cabeças. Sem nenhum dos velhos vícios. E isso vai surgindo na Europa.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nas Américas, foi Trump quem salvou a paz. Os cretinos clintonianos e obamascas queriam a guerra por confrontação directa e imediata com a Rússia, logo em Janeiro de 2017, se a Hilária tivesse ganho. Teria sido uma bela ida “de ventas à torneira”, como é costume dizer-se, que nem os serviços de informação militar faziam a menor ideia do grau de eficácia e modernização militar da Federação Russa.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mas o projecto está ainda de pé. Depois de dezassete anos, a quinhentos mil milhões de USD anuais para despesas “de defesa”, sem aumento de impostos, as finanças da América do Norte estão comprometidas por décadas, se acaso o Estado escapar à insolvência.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
O belicismo serve como nova aplicação do “capitalismo de casino”. Não está mal – não acham? – como contraste com a grande esperança que Obama tinha corporizado. Era afinal e apenas um valido dos senhores da guerra, a celebrar em público o cruento assassinato como política de estado. E o belicismo aponta à miragem da morte dos credores, a suscitar pela guerra. Trump frustrou a sinistra aventura, que teria significado o colapso de tudo. Porque é um comerciante. E raciocina, graças a Deus, como um comerciante.O eleitorado entendeu-o. E desautorizou a imprensa, reduzida à mera propaganda, em proporções nunca antes vistas.</div>

O Brasil foi a caricatura do processo norte-americano. Também alimentado pela ácida decepção, suscitada pelo pretenso pragmatismo do PT que aceitou confundir-se com aquilo que se tinha comprometido a eliminar. A corrupção agoniante onde tudo está à venda. E onde o PT se pôs a comprar votos à escumalha, até a escumalha perceber que se o PT não podia subsistir sem ela, ela podia substituí-lo. E assim foi, num dia inesquecível, com a deposição de Dilma. Agora, segundo tudo indica, vão aplicar-se as receitas de Macri com um histérico no comando.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
A registar, em todo o caso, que Bolsonaro desprezou os debates, onde o esperava o fracasso certo, na tarefa – para um grunho, impossível – de enfrentar a cultura universitária do opositor. Também desprezou a imprensa, dispensando-se até das acções de rua, tudo substituindo pelas intervenções em redes sociais. E esta acentuação do fenómeno da dispensabilidade da imprensa – e das suas multidões de parasitas e agentes de mil propagandas – esta acentuação, intensamente demonstrativa, é para reter. E usar.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Abandonando – gradualmente embora – o “projecto global”, Trump quer retomar a América Latina. E tem conseguido importantes êxitos. Não me parecem decisivos, nem definitivos, em todo o caso. E são catastróficos para as populações locais, bem entendido. A teimosa resistência de Maduro também não saiu barata aos venezuelanos, bem sei. Mas se conseguir vencer, como parece, a Venezuela será um ponto de apoio formidável para mudanças significativas.</div>

Na Eurásia, o novo eixo do mundo reforça-se. Não vejo nada capaz de se opor à força gravitacional respectiva. A unidade eurasiática é o destino da Europa ocidental. Em alternativa, só a desintegração e uma pobreza, sem precedentes conhecidos.</div>

De novo ressurge a evidência apontada por Oliveira Martins, sublinhando o ocidente da península ibérica como natural princípio e fim de todas as vias férreas europeias. Acrescente-se, de todas as rotas marítimas do Atlântico Sul – e algumas do Atlântico Norte – o mesmo se dizendo para as rotas aéreas e para as estradas. José Sócrates tinha entendido isso, visivelmente. Mais ou menos enleado por tralhas várias, nada lhe tirou desembaraço em opções estratégicas fundamentais.</div>

Agora, estamos quase há dez anos parados, como outros pretendiam que ficássemos. Quase há dez anos exclusivamente entregues a uma sucessão de idiotas ostentando uma imbecilidade larvar. (Nesta legislatura, conseguiram evitar a morte por inanição da população inteira, já não é mau).</div>

Mas o mundo está a mexer muito e muito depressa. E perdemos (mais) dez anos.</div>

Já tresandava a corrupção da grossa, há bastante, e fugindo a debates com quem seja mostra que sabe não ter capacidade para sequer negar o que seja. Não esconde a sua perfídia, e não tem como esconder a perfídia que está por detrás dele (e esses sim, mandam, claro).<br />
Temos portanto um B - de bosta, sim, e de bolçar, e este Bolsonaro.<br />
<br />
(Bolsonaro - um fácil marreta útil para um qualquer golpe, visando impor um ditadorzeco, e obviamente acabar com o que resta de qualquer soberania, neste caso - a do Brasil, país com os recursos que se sabe, e um historial de luta assim como de opressão. É impossível não se saber da ainda bastante recente ditadura militar que o país teve. E, a perfídia, como sempre, conta com o esquecimento que tentam impor, conta-se com a desinformação e com a ilegalidade até, para impor suas mentiras).</span><br />

Regresso após um periodo de ''pausa'' / Re-opening this blog - Public Petition, Judicial Exemption, Sports, Society <br />
<h3>
[Post idioms: PT / <span style="color: #9fc5e8;">EN]</span></h3>
<br />
Há cerca de um ano que não tenho cá vindo. É verdade. É um artigo sobre futebol?<br />
Sim, também o é, só que é bem mais que isso, como se sabe.<br />
Parece-me justo reabrir isto com um assunto (aparentemente) desportivo. E, em certo aspecto até é bem feita (para mim). Quem me mandou amuar no meio das cinzas de um país que arde e que arde e... que arde?<br />
Se é preciso sentir um valente pontapé nos direitos de cada um, e, se é preciso de forma cristalina ver bem a dimensão de certos tentáculos que estrangulam tudo e mais alguma coisa, assim num caso, então que o seja. <br />
<br />
Muito bem. Está aqui a petição.<br />

Não tem nada a ver, naturalmente, com o se ser militante de quaisquer clubes, ou, de se ser ''anti'' este ou aquele.. Tem a ver com transparência, e, evidentemente com isenção na magistratura que num caso como este, fica mais fácil se averiguar, mesmo.<br />
<br />
É portanto de ler, e de assinar, por favor.<br />
<br />
Ah, e não nos esqueçamos que, para que se leve a mesma à AR, a plataforma envia para o nosso Email uma mensagem, instantes após a assinar, a fim de podermos validar as nossas assinaturas.<br />

Eu sei que a nível internacional as coisas estão a ferver. E é preocupante. Irei deixar esse assunto, embora se possa possivelmente fazer certas ilações para o que aqui trago, para outra publicação. Espero que, caso me desejem ler sobre essa matéria, me entendam.<br />

<br />
É um caso grave e sabe-se mesmo muito bem que o é, de resto, daí tanta perfídia trabalhar para tapar como se com uma peneira o que se vê ao sol de qualquer um. Tal como muitos têm referido, com muita razão, não é apenas um assunto que diz respeito a quaisquer clubes de Futebol. E está mais que escancarado, e evidente, que não. <br />
<br />
Tem-se também sempre assistido a umas mãos veladas surgirem, e bem ao estilo de Goebbels, a fim de torcer e entortar no que podem, e onde podem.<br />
E, claro está, sempre torcendo como estamos fartos (todos estamos tão fartos) de saber coisas a nível do próprio Estado -(do estado e da Política, e da política de Estado), e essa/s ao ponto que se sabe, e tudo o mais...<br />
<br />
Pega-se, também, em classes inteiras de profissionais (quaisquer delas), e, pela mão de uns poucos, leva-se tudo para a lama com aquela bizarra facilidade, na sua totalidade (disso estamos fartos de saber, também). <br />
Tão útil isto, a alguns. <br />
Também o foi no tempo do Sidónio Pais entre outros, não foi? Pois foi. <br />
(Ah pois foi.)<br />
<br />
Para além disto, pidescos seres proliferam, empoderados pelo crime que se esconde, (aliás os crimes, e os atropelos cometidos contra o - Direito).<br />
Só nos faltava isto, não é?<br />
____________________________________<br />
Já que no caso supra, que envolve e implica não apenas o mundo do futebol, estando a coisa tão escancarada como nunca, dada a dimensão e gravidade da coisa, façamos então isto chegar à AR, pois.<br />
Como diz um ente querido: «A descrição e isensão dos masgistrados não é uma questão de clube, é uma questão de estado»<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
E eles que se amanhem como conseguirem, para nos dar explicações e, ou, para averiguar. (porque lá chegando, o têm de fazer. E o fazer perante nós - à sociedade civil).<br />
<br />
Eu assinei isto que vos trago, há dias. Assinem por favor. <br />

I don't have the heart to share work made yesterday and today as I tried to liberate my thoughts and feelings on paper and canvass (it's hard for me at the momment to look at them, or share) , <br />

If you have the chance, by all means do not miss the opportunity to see this special event, this year marking the piano master - Richie Beirach's 70th birthday celebration (his having turned 70 last May). <br />
<br />
It promises to be an absolutely magical event, counting on the awe-inspiring talent of the master himself and those close to him. <br />
Joining him on stage shall be Jazz legend - David Leibman (old freind and spellbinding accomplice)<br />

For those who shall have the good fortune to catch this happy chain of concerts, eventhough you shan't be in want of anything to add to the enchantment of each date - may the Perseids that are currently still showering our spinning blue ship as is sails around the universe, tagging along with all it's sister ships in our mothership's Solar Fleet, bring extra blessings each day and night.</div>

I shall, therefore, just leave us with the following interview. Some of the issues are of course more pertinent to those who live in the US, nevertheless, so much of what he says merits reflection on the part of so many (any one of us) outside said country, as well, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/frhKQfroYh0/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/frhKQfroYh0?t=2m10s feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
By the way, the fact that so much of our mainstream media seems to be so hysterically hyped as it reacts to present-day Venezuela, is starting to make me think that they must be doing something right (in Venezuela, that is.. and regardless or despite of what I may think of their current leader, as a person, for it is a Venezuelan affair). Why is it that any of the Latin American countries not being under NATO's feet (as a mat), or others for that matter - seems to get their (the media's) panties tied up in a bunch like this, I wonder? <br />
<br />
I'm sure it has nothing to do with their having or wishing to have control over their own natural resources (hmmmm..., East Timor comes to mind - with those strange «coup d'etat» events back in 2006 or 2008, among the other usual examples when one thinks on this matter, no? ) . <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
(yes, a person doesn't even need to stick to the middle east to see certain things, it seems.. How sad this is, when we think of how supposedly all of us are lead to believe we should be happy with all those hopes, and promises, to finally become free from so much dependence on certain types of finite ''energy sources'', but that's probably beside the point, <span class="un" tooltip="{hmmmmmm} : unknown word">hmmmmmm</span>...)<br />
<br />
<br />
(oh yes, how I love to be brainwashed by all this easy-made media hype, where one is always told how ''Mr Syria'' is so terrible and ''Mr Saudi Arabia'' is so cute and fluffy, for instance, or any of the BRICKs (or conveniently neighbouring countries) - do this or that, or how good it is for this or that place to be full of investment in solar energy and yet... ) <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
...and yes, I'm wondering also as to - what ever happened to ''freedom of the Press''? - among other things, but alas, that appears to be old news...</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
And just to ''play fair'' I won't leave out the continuous Athabaskan saga - in Canada, or Norway's wish to drill the heck out of the Arctic.. Did I leave out POrtugal?<br />
(as Poirot would say ''Please to forgive me'')<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
(I hope that this nonsense doesn't get us ''bombed to smithereens, among other things that is)</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
But our newscasts seem to only be interested if Ronaldo has burped his child, or weaned a calf, or anything like that. It's either that or turn themselves into some kind of gory game show where a TV host puts up placards to pin the names on who was or was not in fact burnt to a crisp in this or that fire... Yes, they can be so tasteful, can't they?)</div>

I might not seem at this precise moment to be in a good mood, but do not get me wrong, sometimes just by simply losing track of time on a Saturday , even when decompression makes oneself blunder a bit - can make a two month holiday at a Jamaican Spa or in Monet's gardens (or a mix of both) seem small by comparison. So, I hope that the sun and the evening stars shine bright and sweetly for you, no matter how stormy or iffy the horizon may seem, as they did for me yesterday<br />

I don't even know how long ago it was that I first saw this film, but, it was due to of one of my favourite soundtracks (l'ascenseur pour l'échafaud) that I first encountered one of the many cinematic treasures in French Cinema, many of which with<br />

It's been a while since I've had a chance to write in this blog but, with the excuse of this amazing Tarkovsky masterpiece's new restoration finally being complete (soon to be available), I resume posts. <br /><br /><br />Hope all are having a wholesome and safe summer<br />

Uma pessoa, aqueles momentos depois de ultrapassar o choque da notícia começa logo a pensar que - se é difícil encaixar partir o amigo, e claro que o é, o será ainda mais para quem lhe iluminava os olhos da forma mais bela.<br />
<br />
Por isso<br />
um forte abraço aqui fica, à família, e aos outros amigos também. <br />

More than one of my absolute top bassists, he is one of my all time favourite musicians. <br />
(And, he is so well loved by colleagues, friends & family, so special..)<br />

<br />
<br />
I won't even go into the anguish and sorrow one has, when thinking of how the country where he lives doesn't seem to respect its citizens in the most basic of needs. <br />
<br />
<br />
How many countries are astronomically ahead in terms of safeguarding access to proper health care for it's people? <br />
I wish he could have multiple countries as his home, so he (or others like him) wouldn't have to deal with such a predicament. <br />
As time is definitely of the essence, I shall say no more, and hope he gets better.<br />
<br />
<br />
♥<br />
I hope he gets (and in time) the funds to regain his health, I really do.<br />
<br />
God bless you Mr. Mraz.<br />

Love her. It's impossible not to) <br />

- ♥ Bowie (Why? - well, he's Bowie, I don't really feel a need to give any other particular reason...) <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
and now - ♥ ♥ ♥ a beautiful friend whom I cherish, <br />
Christian. <br />
(Why? Well, besides the friendship, the talent, the extraordinary heart, and will, it's similar to the two above, for his Humanity. Love him, and he knows it) <br />
<br />
- So, I'll repeat two videos with him playing (two samples) - One where we can see another, so fabulously playing along side his beloved friend - (my goodness, speaking of talent, and art and so forth..) Richie Beirach. It's so pleasing (among other things) to see this quartet perform. <br />
The other is a ''trio'', one I love to hear - so very much.<br />
<br />

These five things I place above, other than exemplifying what I personally wish to dedicate this year on our tiny blue dot (as Sagan used to call it): Friendship, Love, Talent, Art, Humanity, and so much more than what I say (for not everything I know how to say, in words), they show great spirit - the kind that not only shine's through one's own talent, but even more when said talents are made stronger and even larger - through the bond of friendship shared therein. <br />

As the country where I was born prepares its farewell to one of it's towering figures of the XX'th century, an unstoppable Human Right's lawyer - one that up to his age of 50 - amidst the known oppression of the prior regime, defending even others who were (attorneys for Human Rights), and great minds such as Salgado Zenha <i>(to mention one, but there were more such lawyers and activists defended, and those from other fields as well</i>), whom after 74 set the ground work for our latest ''democratic'' rule (<i>the one occurring in the xx century still, born through the hands of other great minds and men as well - Alvaro Cunhal, instantly coming to mind, and of course others such as Sá Carneiro, not to mention who actually changed the regime in 1974 (among others), - in the nation's armed forces, the only ones who actually could ... but I shall not linger on the subject at this time</i>) - and as a statesman, internationally, his working alongside other European heads of state, leaving at the time he had done so his ''footprint''<i> (so to speak) </i>upon the EU during the timespan of his influence - <br />
(I was saying)<br />
- as the country prepares its farewell, I write this post. <br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, the arts make us more Human, mirror us, are food for the soul (et cetera, yes, and indeed they are). The sciences take us further on our journey <i>(within our Humanity - as a collective</i>), and are somewhat similar <i>(also so important)</i> for such things <i>(especially as the tool that it is, and depending on how and by whom it's wielded</i>), just as contemplation / meditation and so forth, through our spirituality (be it though any ''organized'' religion or not) does, as well. <br />
<br />
So now I leave three or four links - that concern the activity that seems to epitomize (mirror, make us more Human <i>(in the noble sense of the word, as always when I use it</i>), and yes - are also ''food for the soul'' (for so many reasons), and never any less than the afore mentioned ones<i> (of the previous paragraph).</i><br />

OOoops, I was searching for a LINK, in one of two blogs <i>(pertaining to this one, that is)</i> and since Gandhi is rather stretched ou in - and throughout either, I'll just simplify with an image I'd made some years back on the occasion of his birthday and place it here (also) as a symbol of the Civil Rights <i>(Human Rights)</i> Lawyer. <br />

So this is my first post for the year (because the previous one, made two days ago, would have been made any time of year that a statesman such as he leaves...). <br />

At times like these, there is no sense in attacking whom is no longer with us, and especially a cowardice for anyone to imagine or attempt to do so - not only to those whom feel more directly his passing. It would be barbaric, to say the least, and I will not have it.. For this reason I hereby state the following.<br />
This blog will not tolerate, by any means, any comment to this post that will diminish the man.<br />
<br />
<br />
I may understand that there might be some people (there always are, especially with icons such as he) regardless my agreeing or not, any criticism - concerning anything of the ''political'' Mario Soares, and I stand up for freedom of speech, but, I will not tolerate the afore mentioned type of cowardice or ''barbarie'', on this post. through any comment that may come.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I've never vented any things I may have not agreed to, concerning decisions (obviously not easy ones), as he led the country (when he was in office), but when I ever did (not written, but spoken, among friends, though not with many I admit), concerning some things, it was always ''political'', and never the man.<br />
Concerning his activity as a lawyer, especially prior to the fall of the previous regime, he's always commanded my utmost respect.<br />
I cannot ever forget that it was he that defended, even at his own peril, others of great stature: among some of which were Salgado Zenha, the family of the assassinated candidate Umberto Delgado, Alvaro Cunhal, and many more. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
On the other side of his ''political'' sphere, he was respected by, and maintained friendship with the likes of people such as Adriano Moreira</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
(a Lawyer himself, and also imprisoned by the regime to which he had been a minister of. <br />
Many people, such as the two, met by having shared cells in the time of the dictatorship, and became friends for life).</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
We know all too well how easy it is to criticize, but, we also know how easily one forgets the full picture. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
He was not only of significance nationally, but as is known, on the international stage.</div>

I was shocked to hear of the plane crash. <br /><br />As I mention above, I wasn't expecting to make another musical post so soon, much less for such a reason. <br />

It is a such tragic loss for the world and for Music. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Soube há pouco do acidente ocorrido no dia de natal, através de vários amigos na rede social fb, pois, que nos canais televisivos, aparentemente de tão ignorantes sendo, não se terão dado conta da enormidade que é, ou da dimensão da tragedia. </span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Deixo uma das publicações, de um deles, por onde soube do acidente que nos faz perder assim num ápice o precioso grupo.. Estou sem palavras perante isto, e perante a falta de noção de alguns (pelos vistos a generalidade) dos canais de comunicação social. Chamá-los de broncos, não chega. <br /><br />Triste notícia, esta.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/zeantonio.franca/posts/10211481087123438" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: black; color: #ffd966; font-size: x-large;">Ligação</span></a> </span><br />

The message that had been originally planned for the season</h3>
<br />
Sometimes I suppose it's easier for those of us used to working closely with others from any number of lands, others of different age groups, credence and (verbal) language groups. It's perhaps easier in some professions to see the ''common denominator''. Since I am no doctor (physician), nor sociologist, but rather from the arts, I'll use one of those for the season. It's easy for anyone (I believe) to picture an orchestra, for instance, and as we know - in the orchestra, for something to be created (or ''recreated''), to such a degree that special moments can be shared, by audience and musician alike, there must be passion. <br />
But passion per se, is what it is. It moves people, and outside the ARTS, especially outside those, when it is wielded outside the realm of Love, things have quite a different perspective and outcome (usually destructive - through the ''hate'' or ''distrust'' of another.<br />
<br />
When evoked under other instances, with other goals in mind, goals such as ''nationalistic'' ones, or when two athletic teams challenge each other such as in Rugby, Football, Hockey, Basketball and other types, with their respective cheering committees (fan groups), all too often one sees ''passion'' drive people in the desire for the annihilation of ''the Other'', or a will to conquer ''the Other'' and lay them asunder. We're all aware of hooliganism, as we are aware of what the rise of ''nationalism'' brings about. <br />

This said, it doesn't mean a Hungarian can not maintain his or her nationality, adopt another alongside it, see the beauty in a work written by a German author, for instance, and shape it through an orchestra that is not in Germany. Moreover, through said passion and care bring the work (any work) to life so as to create and share it with people of any land, hair colour, skin tone, language groups, whether they pray or not pray. And more than this, one easily can find in an orchestra (for instance, but there are others, within and without Music) - whilst working together for a common goal, a prime example of so many people from so many different regions and walks of life, sharing that common passion as they work together, to create something that in turn is shared with others. <br />
Does it really matter if we or anyone else use a fish fork (and knife) to eat our fish? <br />
<br />
Does it matter if we haven't the means to know how to use them, the knowledge of their existence, why they are used in some cases by some, or perhaps even in some cases don't have the means to attain them (they're not expensive, but perhaps in remote areas such as the Artic, they are)? Is it important the difference in the the way one eats one's fish, or why? <br />
The only problem I can see (and probably whomsoever reads this message), is the absence of fish, and their dying off, suffocating and smothered in polluted waters (which I believe is somethings that bothers all uf us alike, be we from anywhere we may be, any one of us). <br />
<br />
<br />
We indeed have one planet, and regardless we use fish forks or not (for any reason that may be), we need our home, our tiny - ''pale blue dot'' as Sagan used to call it. And we know we do. </div>
<div>
What I've said is probably construed as 'preaching to the choir' (so to speak), so I shall proceed to finish this article with things I love, and love to share. <br />
They are all examples where whether or not one uses a fish fork, makes no difference whatsoever. It makes no difference in terms of things we can build or receive (and share in - said moments, regardless our being on stage or off).</div>
<div>
<br />
So I leave examples where despite each one on its own would merit its own post in this blog (just as many other examples, or others that I've already posted here throughout the years). <br />
They come together in said spirit, and share said common denominator.<br />
I thus leave things from the musical arts, of three types of musical construct: <br />
* Vocal<br />
* Instrumental (with instruments other than the voice)<br />
* Vocal & Instrumental, </div>
<br />
and bid you the best of possible holiday seasons. <br />
<br />
Regarding the year to come, may it bring us a world of less hardship, less bloodshed and war. Hopefully we (on the whole) shall someday begin to appreciate one another. It always seems to be a step in the right direction in order to not be manipulated on the part of any whom, for some reason, seek to control or subjugate others. Does this mean one should not be on one's guard? No. Does it mean one should not feel one has more a right to anything than anyone else? Yes. Does that mean one should look the other way when anyone hurts another? No. Does it mean one can be active and come to the aid of any whom are down, (as doctors or anyone can)? Yes. Does it mean one should place oneself in the shoes of a superior diety? No, I don't think so. <br />
I have one or other family member that doesn't get along too well with me, and perhaps rightfully so, but does that mean that they can not count on having a roof to sleep under as long as I'm around and have one? No. On the other hand, does it mean that if ever they are in need of it, that I must remain under my own roof and not seek peace by not remaining under it (be it what it may be) myself? No. My remaining or leaving is my choice. It's so much easier though, when it's in regard to our own house, yet not so when one considers entire countries, or groups within countries. <br />
<br />
We all choose our own paths and how we treat each other.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We also choose if we defend to keep fish from suffocating in the seas, or other animal species to not suffer due to own animal species' collective abuse of the planets resources. Do I enjoy to eat fish once in a while? Yes, I do. Do I defend their right to share the planet, and live unfettered by our own abuse of our shared home, yes I do. It's their and other species' (including our own) home, as well. <br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure trees, flowers and cabbages don't hate us, or have a wish to annihilate us. (well, my fig tree does throw figs at me on occasion, but that's beside the point). <br />
Let's be like trees and grow. <br />

For the new year: <br />
<br />
I shall place here two things, out of so many I would like to place, Mr. Evans's ''Peace Piece'' for obvious reasons, and another with one of my all time favourites (among the double bassists that are such), Mr. George Mraz. <br />
<br />
Why finalize this post with Mr. Mraz? <br />
- Because I hope the year that comes brings us an end to something, not Mr. Mraz (I hope he recovers and blesses us with his music for a long, long time), but that time old problem in the land where he lives, where people aren't given a proper ''universal public health plan'', among other things. In other lands such a reality goes beyond one's imagination even, and it's so shocking and frightful a reality to conceive, indeed. <br />

<br />
<br />
Oh my goodness!!!!!!! <br />
<br />
Finally, some good news. <br />
<br />
<br />
To such an extent that I feel I finally have a heart to write some sort of a Christmas post...<br />
<br />
<br />
Firstly I shall leave here two links to the latest news attesting that not only Allepo is at the moment safe from those renegade mercenaries for hire (no matter who's been paying those pricks, they and their ''owners'' shall not prevail) - the Daesh, but even their very recent attempt at taking Palmyra has been completely shattered. Perhaps the spoiled brats best call up their ''mommy'' for some more pocket money for bubble gum as they probably lost it all when they had to hightail it out of there and got kicked out (again). <br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know who exactly has been giving them their well deserved spanking, but I for one am thankful to whomever those may be. Yes, we all know there is a difference between a ''mercenary'' group for hire (the murderous little nitwits), and the actual armed forces of nations. <br />
<br />
<br />
I leave forthwith the two mentioned links <br />
<br />

<br />
Secondly, <br />
I know the noble fight in the ''West'', now recently with support from veterans, this while I think of Mr. Leonard Peltier and his plight. <br />
<br />
Since I've already made a post in that respect (and since that battle has had some great valour and accomplished things that are amazing (and heart warming, to say the least), I shall keep this short and simply add LINKS, just as I had done in the first part of this post.<br />
- As apparently never has History witnessed, since the Battle of Little Bighorn, such a gathering of so many of the Great Souix Nation (from all the First Nations), and to add to that the Veterans... (my goodness), I have little more to say. <br />
However, that ''war'' has just begun for it has been made known that the corporations behind the continued raping and pillaging of sacred lands and waters, in dire disrespect even for Treaties (made known by they themselves), responsible for ''militarized police'' acting on behalf not of people but as a ''private police force'' - shooting water canons in freezing temperatures (which as I mentioned before, is ''murderous intent'' and can be deemed no other thing), this among other hideous manoeuvres perpetrated against their own citizens - manoeuvres that they intend to continue doing <span style="font-family: courier;">despite</span> <span style="font-family: courier;">and<b style="font-style: italic;"> in complete disregard of</b></span> : Treaties, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers decisions, or any Presidential vetos on the subject as a matter of fact. <br />

<br />
Lastly, to whomsoever may still be confused (perhaps still) as to the American Elections, I leave my thoughts on the matter. <br />
<br />
First I must say that I hurt for those Americans I know and admire, as I imagine them having to face and deal with there being a President Trump. <br />
You have my solidarity for having had things come out in such a way that the two final and ''major'' contenders (backed by what is said to be - two political parties) were Mr. Trump, and Mrs. Clinton, and I'll say why. <br />
<br />
But to say why, I must go back a few decades. It seems that ever since the IMF came into existence, and more so as time pushed forward, that despite there being two parties what one sees due to well known lobbying, is as if there has been one. (and said ''party'' has wielded its influence perhaps on some ''candidates'' and elected presidents of that land, more than others, but..... One way or another it has been as such, it seems, until these last American elections.<br />
<br />
<i> (Yes, Mr. Obama is an elegant man, and I believe that domestically he has been a positive one, nevertheless, that said, I can not say I appreciate whom he had as ''Secretary of State'', for instance, the same way as I never really liked her husband, nor - from the other so called political party, Mr. G.W. Bush, his Mr. Cheney, and so forth. </i><br />
<i>Personally, due to what I know of the following people (and regardless their being Dem. or Rep.), for example, I somewhat like Senator Sanders (what is known so far), for instance, and more recently I heard of yet another (who actually also ran for that Presidency) - Dr. Jill Stein. <br />
I found out late in that country's Presidential campaign that she exists, and she became more visible to me after having taken a stand for Standing Rock. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i><br />
But that is me, and I am not a voter in America nor am I an American (just as I am not Russian, nor British nor, Spanish, nor Ecuadorean, nor..., ah but I do appreciate people from many lands) - I'm not important here. It is who reads this that can perhaps be, in the case that this post have any visibility whatsoever)</i><br />
<br />
We all know that recently another ''world banking institution'' was born. <br />
Things have since then been rather ''heated'', to say the least. <br />
Since we live in a world of global economy, and corporate warfares and such, I believe it healthy to take certain things into account. <br />
It has always seemed, especially concerning ''foreign'' affairs, that the IMF has had <i>(one way or another)</i> much of a say as to whom gets to actually be a plausible presidential candidate in either party. This is not to say that they are all mere puppets, no. They, or their ''staff'' have wills of their own, but I feel it is always limited (more or less) not only by the elected Congress of that land or the Senate, but, since the Federal Reserve is and has always been a ''private'' bank (despite its name), unlike the banks of other countries, entities such as the IMF are an issue. <br />
As is known in 2012 the NDB (a counterpoint to the IMF, if you will) began to be devised, and by 2013 its existence was agreed upon. During the following year its foundations were laid out and by last year (2015) it came to be (It was ''born''). <br />
So I suppose that now, in one way, there is no longer one ''party'' with respect to the will - of ''interests'' in the private financial sector, in either of the two political parties. <br />
But these are financial ''interests'', and those are the only ones that I can see meddling in the way that that country's (or other countries') political parties ''acquire'' their candidates, not political leaders of foreign lands (any foreign land). It is the people of that land who vote, not people outside that land. <br />
If You were left with a choice between a Clinton and Mr. Trump, perhaps you should indeed ''follow the money'', but the choice between the two, no. In that case, one was elected by the habitual electoral process, just as had been Mr. Bush (both of them), Mr. Regan, Mr. Clinton, Mr. Carter, Mr. Kennedy.. and so forth. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is not to say that Mr. Trump has more financial interests in the IMF or in the NDB (and frankly, it now no longer makes a difference, to me at least, in any way). <br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: #b4a7d6;"> Briefly, on the side, but nevertheless on the topic of ''special interest groups'', though elsewhere - In some lands the perfidious Octopus Dei likes to wreak havoc and try to create madness in society</span><i><span style="background-color: black; color: #b4a7d6;"> </span></i><span style="background-color: black; color: #b4a7d6;">(such a wretched faction they are, morally and ethically speaking) and there are other groups that have, in some lands, succumbed in recent times to the entry of many people of a truly dubious nature (perhaps not all, but many it seems. And those ''many'' - they too wreak havoc, and similar to the conduct of ''Octopus'' Dei such people like to bend things to their own perverted caprices that are never for the ''public good'' in any conceivable way). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b4a7d6;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b4a7d6;">As is known such ''interest groups'' are not very interested in ''Freedom of Speech'', among other things, and due to their wedlock with institutions in High Finance, in some cases to the point of even stretching out their tentacles to the judicial system and political ranks - in some lands it brings back the stench of the Holy Inquisition (in such a way that they strangle them to the point of there being not only a death of democracy and the democratic process, but indeed a fierce attack on basic Human Rights) </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b4a7d6;"><br />
</span> <span style="background-color: black; color: #b4a7d6;">Yes, If Galileo were around today, once again he would most definitely be either locked up. beaten or in the least prohibited from saying anything that could displace their pretty (sorry, I meant petty) little mind-sets, and BS that they should wish to enforce. (to the point of incarceration). Yes, for some people, if they can not win by reason or wits, brute force is used (to the point of being liable for committing criminal acts against peoples' basic Human Rights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b4a7d6;"><br />
</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But let us forget those (and said other lands) for the moment and get back to the case of the recent American elections. <br />
<br />
So, regarding all the hype in much of the media about ''the electoral outcome'', and now I am addressing this especially to whomsoever has wished to sell certain ''ideas'' to be thrown on the table, for some reason or another. <br />
(To others, which includes friends that are American along with others in other places and lands across the globe, please bear with me as I pose my thoughts to said faction who can actually much more easily ''plant'' stories in the media of that land - in the US - than any foreign nation can). <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;">__________</span><br />
Ok, so now - <br />
<br />
Are any of us supposed to believe that the country that claims itself to be a leader of ''whatsoever'' and as being the most powerful nation in the world, can have foreign nations (any) getting into its panties? <br />
Really? I mean let us think about it? <br />
<br />
Ummmmmm..., do you see China or India or Russia or <i>(oh - I ''dunno'', ummm, South Africa, or Canada, or....... or Papua Nova Guinea or .... Liechtenstien or....)</i> ..., claim such others influence and cause their own elections to go one or another way? <br />
I mean really, Russia? <br />
Ummmm.. let me see, does that mean that Russia can say the same about the USA? How about New Zeeland, hmmm? Does Russia, the USA, China or Japan make them vote in (into office) their leaders too? <br />
Russia, reeeeally? <br />
<i>(apparently the so called ''winners'' of the Cold War and Arms Race by the time the Wall came down in Berlin, although we all know Russia is still formidable in that aspect, of course, just as the US would be if it were the other way around, <br />have forgotten who apparently came a little more out ''on top'' with that one). </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br />
</i> Really? <br />
I'm supposed to buy that brilliant idea? (Well that is just so cute isn't it? I wonder if they've ever thought of a job as comedians? What a waste of talent).<br />
Ok now, even if such a thing were possible or plausible<br />
<i> (my goodness it is so far fetched that it hurts to think how little, whomsoever tries to play that card, thinks the thinking capacity of the general ''public'' is),</i> <br />
there is one basic fact that must be addressed. <br />
Mr. Trump was in fact elected, and whether it is liked or not, it is a fact. <br />
Some may not like him, which may seem understandable to anyone like me, but he is the elected one. No Russians, no Japanese, Canadians, French, Congolese, Ecuadoreans, Brits, Israelis, Palestinians, Saudi Arabians, Iranians, Brazilians, Maltese, Swiss, South Africans, Bolivians, et cetera, elected him - the American public did. <br />
<br />
<br />
Even if I were to go out on a limb here, and say that Mr. Putin or the Cookie Monster were the ''rulers'' of the NDB, (ok - I have to let that sink in, I have to grasp that idea) ....hasn't it been the ummmmm... the errrrrr, ummmm.... hasn't it been the Chinese and not the Russians that have invested like nobody else in that country? Well, let me see... ummm, now wait a minute. I don't see any charges made against China running things in the United States (Oops, forgot to think the thing through, is it? Perhaps, to make it somehow more feasible? BS, all the same, but at least more feasible?) .<br />
Ah, but wait, don't give up. It may someone else! Yes, the British!!!!!!!!!!!! <br />
All that talk of dumping tea into a harbour.. (I mean think about it). I'm sure they've never truly forgiven such a gesture, though no scones were thrown in with it, and have been seething in wait for the right opportunity to come along and ''Bam'', along comes an election and finally the Revolution can be repealed, and... Ah yes, I've heard of 007.. It could only have been him. Yes, Her Royal Majesty has finally avenged all that tea thrown away to the fish. But in all due fairness it was the Portuguese that gave the British their tea, so perhaps it was the Portuguese that kept pestering the British, saying they didn't deserve the right to have tea in view of what had happened in that harbour and thus through manipulation and contrivance forcing the British monarch into sending Mr. Bond, James Bond into action. No, wait! The Spaniards! They've always had it in for the Portuguese and probably thought of hitting three birds with one stone - getting the pesky Portuguese to manipulate the pesky British so that they in turn pester the pesky tea hurling Americans who attempt to speak Spanish too often for their taste. Nanananananannah, it was the French, that's the easiest bet. They must have placed a bug in the statue's skirt, and... hmmmmm.., yes, I've always heard the phrase ''never look a gift horse in the mouth'' which in turn takes us back to the real culprits, the Greeks and the Trojans, of course. <br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;">____________</span><br />
All right, now that that's been cleared up, it was Laocoön and his pesky sons.<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
Ok - Back to the matter at hand.. <br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;">____________</span><br />
<br />
<br />
So it seems to me you have one of two options, if you are an American. <br />
You either are in fact democratically sound, and respect your country's democratically elected one (Whether you like him or not, as in any election in any democratic country, past or present, is beside the point after whomsoever is elected, if indeed you respect ''democracy'') <b>What do democracies</b> <i>(depending on the ''health'' of said democracy, in any land)</i> <b>do?</b> <br />
They have ''oppositions''. And unless the president elect has ''absolute'' power, which apparently (still) isn't the case, you go through your proper channels and hold whomsoever accountable, or block whatever you oppose. In the case of the US, you have your Congress (that wields power, over the president for instance though he or she be your ''commander in chief'' ), and your Senate. <br />
If you nevertheless, this time, do not accept the use of ''opposition'', as you have always used (hopefully) in the past, you will then be for opening up a civil war. There is no way about it if it be the case. Any other way if you fail to accept what you have always accepted since you took over indigenous lands and founded said nation, is impossible. <br />
<br />
If on the other hand you wish to buy into the hogwash of that time old McCarthian narrative - ''Oh, it was the Ruskies'' - ''put the blame on them'', then you will be advocating waging war against whom? Russia? (for the sake of a comfortably spewed lie or whatever you want to call it?) <br />
Is that a sane or sound thing to do? (not to mention fair?) Is this a normal ''thought process'', is it fair?<br />
<br />
If so, if that become the case then I now understand why the country is accused of waging war everywhere it feels like for any reason, because people will always buy into any ''comfortable narrative'' that is given to them, perhaps by whom would never fess up to treating everyone as fools, American and non-American alike. <br />
<br />
That decades of cold war and what that can do to a country's psyche has no bearing when any ''hidden agenda'' <i>(if there is one, that is)</i> wishes to use the ''Russia card',' is there no thought to the matter? It has no bearing on the ''why''- for the use of that excuse on the part of certain people who we all know to not be stupid? I mean they may not be nice, but that doesn't mean they're stupid <br />
(unless you use the same definition of ''stupid'' as I do. If that be the case, then ok). <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So because of who would never put their own lives at stake, but put everyone else's (American, and non-American alike), such folly is possible? Because Mr. McCarthy is alive and well (it would then seem) we all must die? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Isn't it enough to know (with sorrow, I believe, anyone who reads me), that for 500 or so years you've (sorry - 'some of you've') been as you've been toward the indigenous (not even abiding Treaties, and continuing to disrespect said people, whom as you know fight for all as above mentioned, indigenous and all others), and why the great (and so sorely missed) Dr. Martin Luther King stood his noble ground? <br />
<br />
Isn't it enough to recall what caused the vile act of his assassination?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Or in another instance in history, the excuse of WMD to wage another war, doesn't that ring a bell? <br />
<br />
When other nations hold elections in full democracy and respecting such values, such as Chile had in September of 1973, and some ''factions'' as is well known - from within a Super-power (one of the two during the Cold War) didn't like that outcome, in a time when perhaps either Super-powers could cause havoc in another land ►<br />
<i> (</i>though not in each other's did they ever. <i>Both ''Super-powers'', nevertheless, had far more ''power'' than either have today in the world, not just the former USSR <br />
- if you want to say that Russia and the former USSR are one and the same, </i><br />
<i>but the USA as well.)</i><br />
► upon having Mr. Pinochet placed into power, in complete and utter disregard for the electoral outcome by that country's population. Doesn't that ring a bell either?<br />
Indeed, as the people rejoiced in the streets (it is documented, and unadulterated through images (film, TV, radio, etc) - right after that election, and as in any land went to greet and hear whom had been placed into office, bombers flew over the Presidential Palace and bombed away. <br />
After that ''incident'' it is fully known what happened under Mr. Pinochet's <i>(the one whom seemed all too pleased to become the imposed leader, and no more democracy for anyone until he fell)'s</i> - rule.<br />
<br />
I seem to recall Mr. Lester B. Pearson was not popular south of his border, nor Mr. Trudeau or subsequent leaders of that other North American country, for having not only - not abided the international embargo placed against Cuba (always maintaining trade between nations, which I'm sure was good news to Americans that wanted to smoke a Havana cigar. All they had to do was go north of the border.) - I was saying, not only not abiding that embargo, but not accepting to join in and go off to Vietnam (as was requested time and time again). <br />
<br />
I'm aware that Mohammed Ali didn't buy into certain narratives, and I'm sure many still don't (I hope, for all our sakes). <br />
Furthermore, isn't it enough to think of your war veterans, for instance, as well? Those very same ones that risked their lives serving at their own peril, and that in such large numbers have taken stand to protect a truly noble stand (taken on for such a long time by the oldest Americans on the continent) - one that in turn is meant to protect, firstly, the people of said country from dire peril on the part of multinational corporations (foreign power, so to speak), not to mention the planet itself plus the people and all living things on it, from further rape? At least those that did so, not to mention those they have vowed to take a bullet for and protect, seem to protect your own constitution, and wish to respect and uphold Treaties (those same ones that have been recklessly trampled over and over again). Is their no respect for them as well? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
... <br />
Ok. <br />
<br />
So now shall I pose the question (but this time, once again, to those who actually advocate and spread said McCarthian excuses) - Was it Moscow that caused the USA to loose the War of 1812?<br />
<br />
Oh, gosh golly, those evil little culprits... <br />
grrrrrrrr, yes, of course, I see it.<br />
It was Moscow that caused the USA, as a nation, to loose it's first ever war with another. <br />
Holy Mackerel, I just don't know why the horse-shoe falls weren't called ''Na Zdorovie Falls (or: На здоровье Falls or whatever..). <br />
Is Niagara a Russian author? (Czar, Saint, Vodka, type of soup, ...)?<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Note:</span> Out of fairness, I leave the past December 12 interview of President Obama, who unlike your future President Trump <i>(at least to this date, that is - I know not the future Mr. Trump, as President elect, despite what he has shown in the past)</i> - I was saying whom is eloquent and intelligent as he speaks, and with respect to his own country, despite lobbies that have worked within your congress and even within administrations, speaks clearly, where one can tell he does have a love for his country. That said, he has been a leader of a country that has nevertheless caused great havoc, and definitely no less than other nations around the world, after WWII.<br />
So here is President Obama, interviewed by Trevor Noah.<br />
<div class="uglyModalEmbed">

</div>
</div>
<br />
Also out of fairness, I leave President Putin, who just as much has a right as President Obama or any other president, to love and protect their own country, but more than that - I must say he seems far more interested in terms of ''protecting'' as Pres. Obama in relation not only his own nation, but much more than Mr. Obama's and his predecessors' administrations - with respect of the rest of the world. He (President Putin) most definitely did not create either Daesh (ISIL) nor the civil war that began in a sovereign nation that had had enjoyed peace prior to that, for instance. It is a country viciously turned into a battle field since 2012. And what should I say more that could add to the harrowing fact of the aftermath of the coup d'état created in the Ukraine, that has been a stable country for so long as I (and so many better than I) in another post regarding <a href="http://guidarte.blogspot.pt/2014/03/the-ukrane-new-european-powder-keg.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffd966;">the Ukraine - as a new European Powder Keg </span></a>?<br />
He also did not invade Iraque or leave a chaotic aftermath in that country. <br />
He is not creating or financing what is happening in Yemen (also truly horrific).<br />
He was distressed and gave heartfelt condolence to France, and other European countries that have had terrorist attacks (claimed by the Daesh), or their predecessores (Al-Qaeda), by no means less than his American counter-parts during those periods. He was truly distressed, just as he was addressing terror attacks in his own nation or the USA as well, upon having them.<br />
Why is it that no one in certain interest groups fail to acknowledge that all one has to do is - ''to follow the money''? <br />
So I leave you with a man by no way less reasonable than President Obama when speaking (with a difference that, concerning ''foreign affairs'' - seeming far more reasonable than most American Presidents as of late, including the charismatic and illustrious Mr. Obama. <br />
I give you President Putin, also highly intelligent, illustrious and charismatic.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">(oh, and by the way, I must admit that though somewhat skeptically, I used to at times buy into some of the old rhetoric regarding Assad, but, as of the past few years and witnessing as others what's been going on, I have noticed something quite striking. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">I never have seen women of his land ''covered up'', or rhetoric coming from his country showing ''hate for women'', not any in pictures or speech. This is so very different than the habitual images and rhetoric coming out of not only creatures such as the Daesh (ISIL), but the Taliban, and SA (Saudi Arabia) as well. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">This is a fact. And the difference is indeed striking.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Sometimes, in linguistics - where one looks at speech and ''speech patterns'', and certain recurring ''subject matters'', we can easily see where the affinities and cultural ties lay, can't we?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">In the words of the mighty poet - Fernando Pessoa: ''my language is my nation''.)</span><br />

Aw, Greg.. <br />
(I always thought that you looked and sounded like an angel, since I was a bitty kid and saw you thusly.., back when at an age where we find it normal to see angels, and Father Christmas, and elves and leprechauns...... One look at you and it was instant - ''Oh, see, he's an angel, with bangs coming down and touching his nose''. As time passed, with all of us in our mortal forms walking this earth, it still seemed as if it were perfectly natural for one to see that even through Time painting any of us - though line, hints of silvery greys here and there, and so forth, that you resembled just that all the same, when contemplating you as an ''artist'' - on various stages. To your loved ones the painting was certainly more complete and sweet to look upon, with any imperfections that even make us more endearing to whosoever loves us... ) ... what took you is a terrible thief. <br />
<br />
<br />

The whole post in the above link which is not very long is, in my opinion, of utmost pertinence, all of it, every single word, however, I shall also leave just below this something he himself included therein, a link to a Bussinesswire news article from yesterday. <br />
