His appearances recurred so frequently that people were soon aware of what was happening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762166419-LEJL2A336KY8GJ0HUSC5/5+.jpg Sigmund Fraud - In 1921, Streger got the idea of inviting Sigmund Freud to Brindenbourgh The latter, flattered and unsuspecting, was happy to accept. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762232261-LPCVQ9WPHNILRXW5JDCI/6+.jpg Sigmund Fraud - We now understand Freud’s true motives: to create a business in which the customer was always wrong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762289852-L0DE7RXTZFAH3CHSG1WV/7+.jpg Sigmund Fraud - Tired of being anonymous, the unconscious, in a game of verbal hide and seek, leads the specialist —never a lay person— with slips, even suspicious omissions, until it succeeds in giving itself away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762354117-8QJWY6B6VSB34I8S6F99/8.jpg Sigmund Fraud - In an old book Freud found an oriental proverb that became the pillar of his doctrine: “He who knows keeps silent; he who speaks knows not.” This adage inspired the idea of elevating silence to the category of a profession (1892), something completely new in the history of humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762410452-J4SRRRIF95TAZZAPWQQQ/9.jpg Sigmund Fraud - With the seeds of despair and madness already implanted in post-industrial mentality this fabulous delirium of Selves, Electras, Narcissi, Oedipuses, Wolf Men and Superegos was accepted without question, quickly becoming a collective Utopia —an ersatz science that would never produce demonstrable results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762480033-4AD60N4N11MEAKG0PTJE/10.jpg Sigmund Fraud - They were now in the psychological dimension, inside Freud’s psyche. “All this pollution will soon seep into reality,” Koetler predicted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762557544-4VNVKIMQL5GIDMXKZ7R9/11.jpg Sigmund Fraud - The crash of objects falling into the street revealed that Streger had lost control of himself. “This man is an imbecile!” he shouted, beside himself. “What an outrageous fantasy!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762630071-ZJ87THH9W5BYU1O20L90/12.jpg Sigmund Fraud - Psychoterminal at the height of the season. The proverbial human fascination with the morbid led other patients and neighbors to participate in those trips. Numerous groups of people entered and left Freud’s interior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762697116-YRZMKQYI4JK3WIVHL4NW/13.jpg Sigmund Fraud - The Erotic Conspiracy During one of the expeditions, he surprised the crew by telling them that they would attempt to press toward a deeper level of consciousness: the unconscious of the individual selves. Was it possible that selves could be manipulated in turn by forces they were unaware of? It was a tense moment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762765410-EYI57GHEO5CGYYJDOAJI/14.jpg Sigmund Fraud - The return trip was torture for him. Every kilometer of consciousness that separated him from his beloved caused him greater anguish. For days he went about tripping over things, glands aflame, choking for air, while his soul panted after that fantastic woman in some distant confine of that abominable psychiatrist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762821532-XLJMOW4HDCX2D4EDH9A9/15.jpg Sigmund Fraud - Streger was somewhat less compassionate toward the enamored swain: “Look, ” he said, “that glittering parcel of pearls, pins, creams, earrings, nail polish, eyeliner, necklaces, wigs, lipstick, bracelets, tulle, lace, falsies and embroideries... Aren’t you just a little suspicious of such a fancy package?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531762892556-CGA9SFYK032OJQYK51QX/16.jpg Sigmund Fraud - He was surprised to notice how everything had changed. The selves were having their annual dance. Some partygoers: Toulouse Lautrec with two can-can dancers and on your right, “The Goddess of Silicon. ” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531763050227-AC85MQWGIYL1QEVE4YT5/17.jpg Sigmund Fraud - Somewhat intimidated by so many celebrities, Koetler simply shook every hand extended. The obvious mixture of fiction and psychoanalysis that had shaped the guest list corroborated his hypothesis that Freudian prototypes were of literary origin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531763125639-0M8NI13F2FLTV4TJLT3C/18.jpg Sigmund Fraud - Judging by the flow of arriving guests, the party has just begun. Here, the entrance of the “Rabid Fetish.” To the right, The King of Joy, and again, Queeny Manfred, out of Fraud’s closet queens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531763205486-EX098BCQ794AJEAJXT1K/19.jpg Sigmund Fraud - Followed by Friedrich Nietzsche, probably the most damaged victim by Freud’s intellectual encroachings. Lautrec’s Ivette Guilbert escorts him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531763264999-Y52SUXODUZVZDK2N29KW/20.jpg Sigmund Fraud - “What king,” he thought, “would not envy the domain of a single one of these famous tyrants?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531763408905-KVWK4NIUKE1BUTYN79WE/21.jpg Sigmund Fraud - Note the permanent mutation of the sex object, Helga, eternal Phoenix of amorous desire https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531763473925-C2GWAUM8JLSK8BM7PHJ9/22.jpg Sigmund Fraud - A sharp pain in the lower abdomen of the flesh-and-blood Freud made him hurl the book he was reading against the wall. He went to the window, crossed his arms behind his back and stood there thinking how ridiculous it was that his outburst had been so far in excess of the physical pain he had suffered. “There is more here than meets the eye,” he concluded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531763591358-U4P1PB4NSRY37RYV4YLZ/23.jpg Sigmund Fraud - The “exchanging of balloons”: end of Freud’s childhood innocence.

This was a grotesque entertainment in those antechambers of sex, as a demonstration of rebellion and courage, that often led to knife duels, boasting, represented fully in the dance by glory of the arabesques. A sordid confluence of eros and thanatos. That is why the tango, the hymn of the suburbs, bears that warm breath of sin, resonances of a forbidden world, extramural, and leaves floating over the body of the woman, according to Ezequiel Martínez Estrada, “a breath of sorrow, something sticky and viscuous, as the echo of its movements and its deliverance in a trivial dream; because the woman has not been possessed by an incubus, but by her own cellibacy”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535722377943-OEE9EA2QAKK8NXB44QN4/2.Lautrec%27s+galley.+La+galera+de+Lautrec.jpg Tango Cadence - Lautrec's galley I always believed that the blades of the Moulin Rouge must have been like those shown in the picture because they represent the circular dance characteristic of the place, the Can-Can, baptized as French Can-Can, paradoxically, by an Englishman, Charles Morton, and because the attraction of the place were the legs of the chorus girls when they lifted their skirts all at the same time. It is a cabaret situated in the red light district of Pigalle, in the Clichy boulevard, near Montrmartre, in Paris. It was constructed in 1889 by the Spaniard Josep Oller, who was also owner of the Olimpia. The wealthy Argentine class, who enjoyed the Parisian night, tried in some way to transport it to Buenos Aires.

In fact, both rhythms coexisted in the dancing rooms of the old Buenos Aires, where they played so much the typical tango orchestras as the sets of jazz and fox-trots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535734567858-YPKB9N7FZKZLIT9SORW0/3.Dadou+Le+Brun+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Dadou Le Brun Towards the end of the 19th century the strip-tease started to be practised in Paris: a woman would search for an unexistant flea in her clothes while she took these off with studied parsimony, (another variation, practised by Germaine Aymos, consisted in appearing in the scenario dressed only with three shells to cover her charms). The Moulin Rouge and the Follies Bergere were the stars of the Parisian nights. World celebrities acted there, such as Jane Avril, Charles Aznavour, Josephine Baker, Bing Crosby, Yvette Guilbert, La Goulue, Dean Martin, Liza Minelli, Mistinguett, Yves Montand, Edith Piaf, Ginger Rogers, Frank Sinatra and Peter Ustinov, but, doubtless, the most important figure that was associated with the cabaret, was Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa, the “Quasimodo of art”, as he was called, a disabled aristocrat that would become famous as a painter, and for entire seasons lived with the prostitutes, painting them. Possibly, by his inability to move his legs, Lautrcec was able to capture their movement in his paintings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535735252722-WI3VAQVQGNQ1VMT3NJXS/4.Tessa+Le+Brun+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Tessa Le Brun The wealthy Argentine class of those days fluctuated between Paris and Buenos Aires and tried to duplicate the Parisian night on the shores of the Río de la Plata (silver river). Between 1857 and 1924, the immigration mass was made almost entirely by men. To alleviate their loneliness, in 1875 the opening of brothels had been legalized —euphemistically “houses of tolerance”— where tango was danced. There were any amount of these in the lower quarter, although one of the most famous operated in Corrientes 509, with three courtyards and eleven rooms, frequented by the bourgeouis, where German, Polish, French and Austrian women worked. Another famous establishment was “Lo de Madame Blanche” (La Dame Blanche or The White Lady), a name probably inspired by the comic opera by the composer Francois-Adrien Boieldieu, as an extension of the literary magazine La Revue Blanche, founded by the Natanson brothers, where the most important French artists of that era contributed. The truth is that after several changes of venue “Lo de Madame Blanche” finally moved to the heart of the city, in Montevideo 775, and that those French prostitutes, forerunners of the Belle de Jour, owned by Joseph Kessel, and popularized by Luis Buñuel, would return to their native France to continue their lives as chaste wives. It is said that the pianist Enrique Saborido played there for the first time his famous tango “Felicia”, dedicated to the dancer Felicia Ilarregui, towards 1907. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535735448335-AM62EPOH69PDUJUUYQ5W/Brothel%27+angel+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Brothel' angel Another of those cabarets, and perhaps the most luxurious one, was the Armmenonville, that functioned between 1910 and 1920, and the famous Café de Hansen (Lo de Hansen), situated in Avenida de las Palmeras (now Avenida Sarmiento), in Palermo, perpetuated in the verses: “Te acordas, hermano, la Rubia Mireya que quité en lo de Hansen al guapo Rivera?” (“Do you remember, brother, blond Mireya, whom I snatched at Hansen’s from the bouncer Rivera?”), and in Manuel Romero’s picture “Los muchachos de antes no usaban gomina”. (Yesterdays’ youths did not use brillantin). These bordellos were the place where most of these true goddesses of erotism shone, such as Sarita, a certain “Juana, la Cívica”, and the legendary sisters Le Brun, Dadoo and Tessa, whose likeness decries the suspicion about their false parentage, about whom nothing was ever known after, and just the memory remains. Stereotiphied, pimps, with an abundance of flesh, bijouterie and fetichism. It is noteworthy that in those days cocaine and other products derived from the coca leaf were sold freely as a local anesthetic and were consumed in those places. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535769954003-RQLCVYSJ7WV0X9U9I13M/Room+of+an+immigrant+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Room of an Immigrant Our ancestors, at sometime in their lives, bore their hopes and belongings beyond the horizon seeking a salary based society where the pay was not an end in itself, but a means of achieving their own worth and the recognition of others. Pregnant for months in the bowels of ships, those immigrants were birthed on unknown land. There they had to adapt to a new language, new customs and jobs and activities which they never imagined they would find themselves doing. They will take refuge in transitional rooms which will never modify due to their longed return to homeland, which will however never take place, anchored as they already were to their foreign children. They wrap themselves in their rooms, halfway between hope and reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535735969557-LFY6PGBCBH47SDSH0OJH/15.Poor+multi-family+dwelling+of+Buenos+Aires.+Conventillo+de+Buenos+Aires+with.jpg Tango Cadence - "Conventillo": poor multi-family dwelling of Buenos Aires It was the first transitional home of most immigrants arriving on the shores of Buenos Aires. In general, it consisted of a central courtyard and one hundred and twelve rooms with a kitchen added to each one on its front. The sanitary conditions were quite precarious. They mixed people of all languages and nationalities, mainly Italians, Spaniards, French, Jews and Arabs, and gave rise to works of tango as “El conventillo de la Paloma”, by Alberto Vaccarezza, based on the construction that still survives in the neighborhood of Villa Crespo. At some point a woman arrived, “La Paloma”, a manufacturer or prostitute, according to the different versions, which originated the name of the place and the character of the sainete mentioned, premiered in 1929. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535737054144-JBDL54IV0KJX2R5FLLLT/Tranv%C3%ADa+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Buenos Aires Tramway In 1897 Buenos Aires, like all the great capitals in the world, adopted the tramway as its public transport. The sight of these trams boosted the immigrants’ illusions and hopes to have reached a better world (see image).

It was around 1938 that her apparitions and disappearances began. She refuses to sing in public, then before his own musicians (she order to place a curtain between her musicians and her), until in 1942, he resigned in full success to artistic applause, "she sold everything owned, her beautiful villa in the province of Cordoba and her fine jewels of Cartier, to help the poor "(According to Discépolo told by Cadícamo). She keeps immersed in a total mystery, that the disproportion of its public and journalism explained by saying that she had become a nun. However, torn between the profane and the sacred, Ada Falcón, mysterious in her own way as Greta Garbo, was imprisoned in that locality with a prophecy name (“Salsipuedes”: get out if you can) a town in the mountainous area of Cordoba. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535736574559-2T65IYLXFI2VS3OF70L6/14.Suburbian+Roughneck.+Guapo+del+suburbio+with.jpg Tango Cadence - “El compadrito” (suburbian roughneck) Who knows what is the reason That name is searching for me.

The desperate search for models that exceed their miserable condition, has made man deposited in some people icons in which he wants to be reflected, prodigious qualities that exceed notoriously the vulgarity of the individual itself, and converts them into extraordinary, mythological beings (from Greek μῦθος, mythos, "story"), even supernatural. The oral tradition places them in an unattainable place, and they become part of the cosmovision of a nation. Carlos Gardel met the ideal conditions to embody this fundamental narrative, exacerbated in him by the anguish of an uncertain origin and suspected of unseemly, that overflies the hybridization of the Argentine himself. Gardel was disputed for years between Argentina, France and Uruguay, until the discovery of the registration of his birth in the civil registry of Toulouse, France, with the name of Charles Romuald Gardes, on December 11, 1980, put an end to the citizen resistance, and ended with his tragic death, on June 24, 1935, in Medellin, Colombia ("who knows one night I face death and, dear Buenos Aires, I do not see you again!"

It is the neighborhood, the childhood, it is a meeting of the bar, billiards, the place to start a romance, the place required for the exchange of ethical, aesthetic and metaphysical concepts ("a school of all things ..."), and the inspiration that gave rise to myths and literary pieces. So much so, that the porteño invites coffee before that to his home.

Inexplicable as many of the traditions that we carry in our blood, this myth embodied in the Argentine woman, who goes to these night places, where the currency of payment is the good dance. The women leave the premises in groups, with the excuse of accompanying themselves to return to their homes, when in reality they will meet the goat of the day known in the milonga, whose meeting was scheduled in the corridors or on the way to the bathroom and has decided which of the two will come first.

This famous truism of Gardel, who as a musician, did not happen to be more than a guitar scraper, may have been the first disqualification perpetrated by a former tango to the extraordinary Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla. By that time, he was already trying to prove the basics of his vision and exhibited the pretense of having taken over the tango. A tempting idea, given the pedestal on which he had wanted to position Hollywood, in his failed attempt to replace the idol Rodolfo Valentino. His disappearance in full success ended up turning it into the porteño myth par excellence. Scholarship by the government of France, Piazzolla studies with Nadia Boulanger, who according to the musician himself discovered his line to follow. From there he would form the Buenos Aires Octet, the string orchestra, the Quintet, the New Octet and the Nonet. The conspiracy started by Gardel would be devastated by the evidence: Piazzolla had come to resize the tango. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535988518119-3WQX4UI9AX4K4UK7NTJP/13.Edmundo+Rivero+with+.jpg Tango Cadence - Edmundo Rivero This “character of the Quixote born in La Pampa”, as Cátulo Castillo said, a native of Valentín Alsina, owner of a “basement voice” became one of the exponents of the reflection tango, since people stopped dancing to hear him sing.

All committed suicide by great ethical disillusions, seeing that their struggle had been sterile, as Socrates had done, and already in our days, René Favaloro. Apparently always, as Sartre said in “Closed door”, because "hell are the others who look at us". But Discépolo dared to incorporate it into his lyrics. In “Tres esperanzas” (three hopes) and then in “Infamia” (Infamy), he tackles the subject of a woman with a bad life who tries in vain to regenerate and ends up committing suicide: “... people are brutal and always hate the one who dreams,” conclude Discépolo. Camus was one of the few great writers who dared to analyze the subject. In “Misunderstanding”, for example. And he returns to reflect on it in The Myth of Sisyphus: “There is only one really serious philosophical problem: suicide. To judge that life deserves or not to be lived. ” A final decision that does not support replicates and leaves silent who claims coherent and rational answers. Melancholy embodies Discépolo`s most successful tangos: Cambalache, Cafetín de Buenos Aires, Tonight I get drunk, Uno, Alma de bandoneón, El choclo, Qué vachaché, Yira, yira. A porteño culture of friendship, but a constant melancholy tinged with anguish. “I was always alone with the people, as with my family”, he stated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535990343821-9YAS86Y86H5YGY8Y2NBH/23.The+house+of+my+parents.+La+casita+de+los+viejos+color+with.jpg Tango Cadence - The house of my parents “I return defeated to the house of my parents, each thing is a memory that is stirred in my memory, my twenty April years took me away ... youthful follies, lack of advice ...” So begins Juan Carlos Cobián the letter of one of the most popular tangos. The return, full of guilt and frustration, makes the rapporteur lament his ingratitude: “There is a deep and cruel silence in the house, and when I hit the door, like a stranger, the old servant receives me ... I will have changed so much, that the old man only by my voice recognized me. " The protagonist wants to retrace his decision to have left, and regrets without remedy. The concept has a significant analogy with that of the tormented poet Agustín Gagliardi, who “having lost in psychoanalysis even the precarious shreds of decency that remained, begins to disrupt his despair through the alleys, he becomes entangled in an underworld of grisettes, alcoholics, whores, and pimps, organizes “free fights” among women. Hostage of his own sexual impulses, dragging in his face the scar of evil, he travels for the last time the path of the cemetery, digs the grave and exhausted belly of his dead mother and ends up submerging forever in that swollen flesh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535994312102-SK33SGG8W6D4JXMED05T/Pan%C3%A9+with.jpg Tango Cadence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535991964213-INKKNPYNZNTYN26OEYT5/24.The+carnival+troupe.+La+cumparsita+with.jpg Tango Cadence - La cumparsita. Voice coming from Carnival comparsa, La cumparsita —the popular hymn of Uruguay since 1998 by Uruguayan Legislative Power Act— is a tango originally thought as a march composed around 1915 or 1916 by the Uruguayan musician Gerardo Matos Rodríguez. The lyrics of this tango, created years later, have common roots with “Let’s follow the corso” (que siga el corso), and it reminds us that in the exaggerated and rumbrous game of archetypal characters coming from the French Comedy and the Italian Commedia dell’Arte, the show of life will inevitably continue, since “the whole year is Carnival”. But it is only from the great interpretation of Julio Sosa that reaches its maximum drama. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535994898047-4F3ZV62Q9Y3ZVE5O9XDB/Volver+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Return "The reason for return in tango has embedded the idea of transience, of the catastrophic modification done by time. The protagonist returns with his "dream shattered" ("The forty", Garrido), "withered forehead" (Lepera) to a city, a neighborhood, a street, surely a woman, from far away and in time. He returns anguished, old, disinserted from the new reality, with fears and also with hopes (Jorge Götling). It represents the melancholy idea of the return to a time inexorably derived towards eternity, from which, the rapporteur recognizes himself among the demolished: "I will have changed so much, that the old man by the voice, only recognized me" ("La casita of my old ones ", Cadícamo). The illustration of "Back with the withered forehead" was published in Clarín on Thursday, January 22, 1987 on the tango Entertainment page section accompanying the note by Jorge Götling, icon of Argentine journalism, which he received from the King of Spain. Spain the Don Quixote prize, on December 2, 2004. He died on August 26, 2006. Referring to the tango, Götling said: "It's a story of three minutes that has a beginning, an argument, a character, a definition and a final one". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535993628091-HFJNIM52NEUHMRD14ZHO/Volutas+nada+m%C3%A1s+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Smoke Volutes, nothing else There is no doubt that the biggest serial killer in history was Elisabeth Bathory, that killed 616 women. Spine-chilling record, if we think about it, and difficult to surpass. This is the story of Marie Latour Legrand, more known as “Zizette”, the most sought killer towards the end of the nineteenth century, not only by men avid for sex, but also for policemen avid for glory, and sex. The story suffered multiple versions, and ended up relating it to the lyrics of the tango "shadows, nothing more", which speaks of a finished love that has left the protagonist empty and longing (shadows, nothing else). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535992595563-UFVRVNRRF7JV8ZLQ5AQW/La+musa+mistonga+baila+el+tango+como+ninguna+with.jpg Tango Cadence - The mistonga muse dances the tango like no other Celedonio Flores assured that the vernacular muse leaves happy to the tango when it gets dark, to complete with her shadow the figures produced by the compadritos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535993919089-7D5ROWJBPUGFX1NBM0T7/Sur+with.jpg Tango Cadence - South The first description: San Juan and ancient Boedo and all the sky ..., puts aside the buildings towards a "Heaven (Paradise) lost", reaffirmed later. Then comes an enumeration of great symbolic content, wreathed with nostalgia. the yellow warehouse light wriggling behind the fogged glass, and then the poet joins the description being reflected in the stained glass window, waiting to meet his young love and continue his march under the stars of that primordial sky. I heard this poem in different periods of my life, and I felt strongly the author's presence at his door at the end, the open envelope of that intimate mail from where his hand clings to the splendor of his youth, his first girlfriend, with whom runs through that body ridged with notches. And despite having visited that memory so many times, that defeated man finds it nested with candor. All the words that since then he tried to write to his love, were necessary to learn to say the latter. The lyrics are of such emotional charge that according to Héctor Stamponi, Ernesto Sábato said that he would give all his literary work in exchange for the privilege of being the author of Sur. Borges said that the south was the secret heart of Buenos Aires, not the ostentatious center that we show tourists. “When I think of Buenos Aires, it was that of low houses, with patios and halls, of cisterns with a turtle and windows with bars.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535994554578-DZHE582U4R7HZX5ADOB1/Historia+de+una+pasi%C3%B3n+devoradora+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Jörgen’s Tango Based on Jörgen’s knife legend. “…By means of an unexplainable dream, Jörgen introduced himself to Isabel and led her to the Tango, where they glided in a marginal, almost indecent revery; at dawn he dragged her to the sordid seclusion of his furnished room and, desperate, possessed her with bestial lust, amid the fragrance of honeysuckle under an enormous moon. On the following nights an uncontrollable passion carried them through the city…” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535993291330-L0CAF40B66G2TIEOSQTU/26.+Tango+with+ornaments.+El+firulete+with.jpg Tango Cadence - "El firulete" (Tango with ornaments) In what seemed to be the final decline of tango, overwhelmed by the international popular music, Mariano Mores composed the tango milonga "El firulete" -in homage to Alfredo Bevilacqua- with lyrics by Rodolfo Taboada, that Julio Sosa turned into a true success for the time. The first record of this compadrona song had been in charge of the Quintet Pirincho, by Francisco Canaro, in 1958. Then Julio Sosa and Beba Bidart took him to the cinema, starring a spectacular dance show full of cuts and ravines, where the dancers made gala of the famous phrase "get chip of the floor", filigree that recalled the feints of the cutlers in duels and would be incorporated into the sport by soccer players of the Rio de la Plata with the characteristic "gambeta". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535989602851-ZG8SFXLL9SPG9DS3ZAYT/20.The+procurer.+El+fiolo.+with.jpg Tango Cadence - El cafishio The “fiolo”, “cafiolo” or “cafishio”, cutler (remember that they were called “cirujas” -or surgeons-, for their skill with the knife), coward and pimp, exploiter of women, also called “840” (by the edict condemning that practice), of some woman who forced prostitution, has its parallel in the English voice “stockfish”, dry fish, which refers to the cargoes of trafficking women. Some criollos maintained a strange sentimental relationship with their companions —called yiros or loras— who were forced to prostitute themselves, a strange society brilliantly painted by Borges in his story “La intrusa” (the outsider), where he tells the story of two brothers, the Nilsons or Nilsen, brave men from Turdera, and his concubine. These so-called sex workers are also mentioned in the lyrics of some tangos, such as “Cara y Ceca”, by Homero Expósito. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535996032476-7GAPMUEACPS6X5YBYA3D/El+chamuyo+with.jpg Tango Cadence - El chamuyo In the Argentine slang, the chamuyo is the conversation of a man who entangles a woman to take her to bed, although it is also used to say that someone is giving himself importance with not too clear intentions. Borges mentioned that once Roberto Arlt was accused of his ignorance of lunfardo (slang). "Well," he said, "I grew up in Villa Luro, there in the outskirts, next to the poor people, among the bad guys, and I did not have time to study the lunfardo." "I have been a friend of many outsiders, even of cutlers," said Borges, "and I have never heard them say a word in lunfardo." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535992876027-BHCA9DIU2TSSL60I1F59/22.Ernesto+S%C3%A1bato+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Ernesto Sábato "In this country of opponents, every time someone does something, immediately thousands of critics sprout that demolish it with sadistic thoroughness." "The millions of immigrants who rushed into this country in less than a hundred years", he continues, "not only engendered the two attributes of the new Argentine that are resentment and sadness, but prepared the advent of the most original phenomenon of the Río de la Plata: the tango". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1535995372607-4XI0HPGZ26A0SKMMO4BX/Grandes+int%C3%A9rpretes+with.jpg Tango Cadence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1536013763291-IHHYTA8PXVIQ91RFYLUH/Colombina+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Colombina Colombina (from the Latin ‘columba’, pigeon) is the female character with greatest presence in the Commedia dell’Arte, and one of the main ones in tango. It happened in 1525, between Lille and Paris, when Margarita de Navarra, sister of King Francisco I of France, sheltered the sect of the French libertine Recullier. In exchange, in a special ceremony, the Dutchman David Joris, who practiced moral anarchy, gave him a mask of those used in the orgies of the Castle of Flers, where he practiced the so called by Martin Luther “Pecca Fortier”. These masks, the only garments worn by attendees, had the property of leveling social differences and opening access to pleasure for all diners alike. It was the custom that these masks would be hung after the meetings, and that those who attended the next one would place themselves by whim or chance the mask they would use. Centuries passed, the Castle underwent several restorations, and in the last, in 1935, it was decided to remove the masks stored in a large trunk, and place them side by side in the room where they had been used. With great surprise, one of them was missing, and was inexplicably found in a baalare of Baigorria street in Buenos Aires, after the carnival of 1936 *, and inventoried today as “the mask of repentance” (Le Masque de la repentance) —that many attribute to Margarita—, which appeared torn by a tear that time did not manage to repare. (*) Gardel’s death had occurred the previous year. The fact receives special interest due to the existing relationship with one of the tangos interpreted by him, “Que siga el corso”, by Anselmo Aieta and Francisco García Jiménez (“That Columbine —the marquesse, that serpentine of crazy laughter that painted her mouth for kissing a clown— she put smoke in her dark circles from the bonfire of his heart"). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1536014074133-AG7V7LJWLQ0YJ3JAE50D/16.Mariano+Mores+with.jpg Tango Cadence - Mariano Mores Elected as the “Best Tango Composer of the Century”, Mariano Mores (Mariano Alberto Martínez), born in Buenos Aires on February 18, 1918 and died on April 13, 2016, was a notable pianist, composer and Argentine conductor, author of true classics of the genre (“Uno” and “Cafetín de Buenos Aires”, with Enrique Santos Discépolo, “On this gray afternoon” and “Gricel”, with José María Contursi, and many others: “Cuartito azul”, “Taquito militar”, “El patio de la morocha”, with Cátulo Castillo, etc). He produced comedies for television and acted in cinema, and in many of his productions he surrounded himself with his family, of which he made a cult. https://www.horaciocardo.com/heroes-and-demons daily 0.75 2018-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531701583654-0VVSCXDIADLF8EXCP04T/He%CC%81roes+y+demonios+modificado+sam.jpg Heroes and Demons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531355788863-R4NRKLS8Y357A4OXNDT0/1+Galileo+Galilei.jpg Heroes and Demons - Galileo Galilei https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531356067127-ZC2JDL7X0K4LTEQ5PIBR/2+Bertrand+Russell.jpg Heroes and Demons - Bertrand Russell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531356290704-2T07J1SYZWRA8C97KTPN/3+Charles+Darwin.jpg Heroes and Demons - Charles Darwin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531405267771-L7WNK0D9QQW2RFGKJIXX/4+Wolfgang+Amadeus+Mozart.jpg Heroes and Demons - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: the Music’s Elf Celebrating the anniversary of the death of composer and pianist Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Theophilus Mozart Wolfgangus Johannes Chrysostom), who was born in Salzburg on January 27, 1756 and who died in Vienna on December 5, 1791, Time Magazine selected seven artists and requested them to prepare a testimonial illustration of the famous musician. I chose as my subject the prodigious child that Mozart once was, since he played the clavichord at the age of only four, he had a prodigious memory and composed small considerably complex works. When he was only six years old he played the harpsichord and the violin with great ability. Today Mozart is considered one of the most influential and prominent musicians in history. Quite a paradox, since he was forgotten and rediscovered by chance, fifty years after his death. A case similar to that of William Blake (De Quincey, a contemporary of the artist, in the fourteen volumes of his works, only once mentions him, and calls him “the crazy printmaker William Blake”). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531405409710-EMJ5ETE3G7JOSVRQ4RRZ/5+Ren%C3%A9+Descartes.jpg Heroes and Demons -

The reason of this paradox is that it was precisely on board this ship that the worst horrors of the dictatorship took place, when on September 11, 1973 the Esmeralda was turned into a floating torture center, maybe commemorating with repulsive sarcasm the date of the coup that overthrew Salvador Allende, the president elected by the people. About 40 men and 70 women were obliged to remain naked in the same enclosure where they could hear the screams and moans of those being tortured. From there, one by one they passed into the horror chamber where they were given beatings and electric shocks. They were hooded and were not allowed to sleep. Sexual abuse of women prisoners was a constant occurrence and all of this occurred in an abominable chaos. After this, each one of them was sent to far away destinations in the country. As a symbol of the validation of torture and murder, Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte, the Chilean Army Commander in Chief and afterwards president of the Republic ratified by the 1980 Constitution, wanted that majestic ship to be there, to show the world the supremacy of torture. Years later, Pinochet’s criminal and mafia actions were exposed when the Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón ordered his detention in London on charges of genocide. He was accused of unlawful enrichment based on drug trafficking, as cocaine was produced in the Army Chemical Unit of Talagante. It was also proved that Pinochet had up to 125 offshore bank accounts and an estimated fortune of 27 million dollars. The Riggs Bank took care of concealing the accounts of the Chilean genocide for a time after he was elected. In 2002 American investigators discovered these accounts and the Bank was forced to close them. Instead of sending the funds to the courts, the Riggs Bank returned the funds to Pinochet for him to deposit them in another institution. Another cockade for the Chilean dictator was that Argentine Judge Maria Servini and later the Chilean Judge Alejandro Solis proved that Augusto Pinochet was the one who ordered the assassination of General Carlos Prats. As a result of a combination of international complicities and suspicious deceases, Pinochet never received any punishment. Needless to say, after his death, the Chilean Army refused to receive his ashes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1533321976260-2OX2MCNVTRCT2JMISKJY/Adolfo+Bioy+Casares.jpg Heroes and Demons - Adolfo Bioy Casares Our own house Fernando Alonso and María Esther Gilio commissioned a series of notes on the intimate meaning that each of the invited intellectuals gave to their house.

Facebook recorded that 90,000 Egyptians signed in adhering to the protests. The meeting points were changed continuously to prevent the feared Egyptian police knowing their movements. Tens of thousands of protestors chanted slogans against Hosni Mubarak as they threw stones and bottles, according to the Al Jazeera network reports, in a riot triggered largely by the Tunisian outburst. Though there is a marked difference, as the Egyptians did not have the support of the armed forces of their country as the Tunisian’s had. At the time, this was very important for the world, especially for the Arab countries, since if Egypt's revolution succeeded, the claim would spread to all the Arab countries.

García Márquez said the same in another way: “How mistaken are those who think that they no longer fall in love when they grow old; and do not know that they grow old when they no longer fall in love. Death does not come with old age but with forgetfulness.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532041639388-TGHRVOM5LX7Y221DNTSJ/Civil+war.jpg Visual Statements - Civil war Massive resurrection of the conflict between Cain and Abel. The history of humanity has suffered and suffers countless warlike conflicts of this type, such as the American Secesion War and the Spanish Civil War. The most recent ones occurred in Africa, where there were real holocausts in view of the world. For seven years, Scott Anderson, author of the article “The price of peace in Ulster”, published by The New York Times on January 18, 1994, traveled regularly to Northern Ireland meeting with the “strong men” both of the IRA and its rivals, the Ulster Defense Association. Having gained the trust of both made it possible for them to reveal a panorama of the underworld of Belfast. He corroborated that both armed movements were financed by nauseating activities such as the sale of protection and other schemes of extortion, including that practiced by drug traffickers, who hurt their people as much or more than the British. Typically mafioso activities concealed under a cloak of patriotism.

People deposit their scarce good feelings in them. Some are conscious of the fact. Konrad Lorenz said: “the simple fact that my dog loves me more than I love him is an undeniable fact, and every time I think about it, I feel ashamed”. The International Herald Tribune —today called The Global Edition of The New York Times—, with headquarters in Paris and circulation in Europe and Asia, published a supplement devoted to pets and their owners during the week-end of March 29/30, 2008. The difficulty with the illustration was due to the fact that it could not show an animal in particular —since the supplement contained articles on all kinds of animals—, and referred to pets in general. Pets end up mitigating human loneliness at times marked by isolation and even reclusion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532049875875-4M4GN977NRZ53GK6LGAX/Legado+-+Legacy.jpg Visual Statements - Legacy Balance by means of terror. Arms control treaties have been agreed as from the days of Emperor Diocletian in the III Century up until now, and reach as far as the regulations concerning cluster munitions signed in 2008 which were enforced in 2010. But as from August 1945, when two atomic bombs were dropped by the United States on the civilian targets of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons have become a credible and constant threat to mankind and a permanent concern for politicians and lawyers. In October 1986 in Reykjavik, Mikhail Gorbachov proposed the abolition of all nuclear weapons, and Ronald Reagan made a proposal to the same effect, although more moderate. Stephen J. Solarz, the author of an article published on December 22, 1986 on the Op-Ed page of the New York Times with the title “Arms control – Art of the Possible”, proceeded to analyze each one of the possibilities. He stated that even though it was desirable, Gorbachov’s proposal proved to be impracticable, due to the fact that compliance with such a treaty could not be verified, since mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles can be hidden in garages or caves, and weapon components can be manufactured and kept separately, to be assembled in times of crisis. And even if the observance of the treaty could be verified, this solution was not convenient for the United States and Europe, because the Warsaw Pact was still in effect, and gave the Soviet Union a substantial advantage in conventional forces over the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. After vindicating the NATO doctrine, as a result of which nuclear forces played an active and dissuasive role, and demonstrate one by one the lack of realism of all solutions, the author negotiates a 50% reduction of weapons, which is obviously as unrealistic as reducing weapons entirely. In 1996, the International Court of Justice received two petitions for Advisory Opinions on the legality of nuclear weapons. Just observing the intellectual derivations we can understand that the problem has no solution, since even the Court says one thing and then goes back on what it has said on each of the points. The English saying is as follows: “The strength of a chain is that of the weakest of its links.” Therefore, our survival depends on the most irresponsible of our rulers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532050018948-XDW9EXE16LN1ZGYC458Q/The+translator.jpg Visual Statements - The translator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532050250491-CNPXHYE6TCW7WKR0PBYA/View+of+America+for+Time.jpg Visual Statements - View of America for Time Time magazine selected 6 artists from around the world to give their visual opinion about the United States.

This represents one third of the total population of mnarchs in the northern hemisphere. If we consider that 90 percent of the world’s population of these monarchs resides in the Eastern Rocky Mountains and that they have a migration route from the south of Canada to the forest of Oyamel in Mexico—some 4500 kilometers—, we can imagine the cyclopean effort involved. Several generations span this journey and each female lays about 300 eggs each time. Totally adapted, these animals have been living in the frozen Oyamel mountains for more than 10.000 years, where the mountains are mainly covered by forests of oak trees at an altitude of up to 2900 meters, of pine-oak between 1500 and 3000 meters, and firtrees that grow between the altitude of 2400 and 3600 meters, serving as a kind of umbrella to protect them from the rain, and that the monarch butterflies have repeated this migration cycle year after year. What is the explanation for such an unexplained mortality? The explanation is that the destruction of the planet by the greatest scourge known, the human being, has also reached there. The felling of trees in the Oyamel forest has continued in spite of the express prohibition issued by President Miguel de la Madrid, as well as efforts of Canadian and North American institutions. The government itself continues to allow this destruction that threatens to cause the extinction of the monarch butterfly. The charges made by Homer Aridjis, president of the Group of 100, an environmental organization of Mexico, and Lincoln P. Brower, zoology professor at the University of Florida, were published on the Op-Ed page of the New York Times on January 26, 1996 with the title “Twilight of the Monarchs”. Eleven years later, WWF, an NGO dedicated to ecology, proved that over the period 2007-2008, this forest loss increased 6.5 %, based on data resulting from satellite photographic surveys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532050893912-ITQS7RBJSI7ZR52T4BZ5/Ku-kux-klan+in+the+Army+for+The+New+York+Times.jpg Visual Statements - Racism in the US Forces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532051039395-S83G4WTSVXIAO6LYP0AY/Weapons+of+mutual+destruction+for+Foreign+Policy+magazine.jpg Visual Statements - Weapons of mutual destruction Published by Foreign Policy magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532051137002-8WLYIMHY6PHHROUPR4AW/You+are+Charly.jpg Visual Statements - You are Charly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532051240436-363LTEEJZEDQHYTI3C5L/Pollution.jpg Visual Statements - Earth pollution Published by Institutional Investor magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532051339324-TCXI4T8XE6RK1W98YN4C/Inequalities+of+the+capitalist+system.jpg Visual Statements - Inequalities of the capitalist system https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532051408194-FM1K4G9PEZ7SQ53KEGMI/IHTribune.+Increase+in+the+price+of+gasoline.jpg Visual Statements - Increase in the price of gasoline https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532051487718-R3AXN6LFNMEU4I131ODU/Illusory+protection.+For+the+Chicago+Tribune.jpg Visual Statements - Illusory protection.

The president praised the clothing but said his desire was to see what was underneath. "Then I raised my skirt and showed him what he wanted to see," recalled the former intern. The president, in a formal tone of the occasion and the place, commented diplomatically: "Beautiful." The exquisite green dress that was stained with presidential semen should go to public auction, because it belongs to history. This was reported by Monica to a journalist from the British newspaper The Sunday Mirror and is included in the book: “Monica's Story”, by Andrew Morton. Between tears and sitting at the same desk where Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher signed their biographies, Monica signed copies of her autobiographical book at the famous British store Harrods. With the sale of the book and a series of scheduled interviews around the world, Monica hopes to raise the two million dollars she owes her lawyers for their services in the affair with Clinton. According to Monica Lewinsky confessed to Barbara Walters, of the ABC chain belonging to the Disney group, Clinton does not feel remorse for the passionate "affair" but regrets that they were discovered. After the first kiss, she added, she felt a very particular chemistry ... He kisses very well. He remembers how she masturbated the president while he discussed issues about Bosnia with members of Congress. In the book "Secret History of Mosad", the English writer on espionage Gordon Thomas, argues that the Israeli secret services recorded 30 hours of love talks between Monica and Bill, and used to blackmail the White House. Because of this, the FBI refrained from investigating an Israeli agent known as Mega. In September 1998, Keneth Starr presented his controversial 445 page report that was made public on the Internet.

This had been authorized by Obama. In fact, Obama did not deprive himself of anything when it comes to war. He used drones (unmanned aerial vehicles, known by its acronym in Spanish as VANT) that are used by the military both for reconnaissance and attack missions. On February 8, 2013, the International Herald Tribune published an article with the testimony of John O. Brennan before the Senate Intelligence Committee that questioned due to the lack of transparency and the guarantee of rights given by Obama’s Administration to counterterrorism. It was Brennan who had to stand up and defend this situation as the President had chosen him as the future Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Therefore, it is not surprising that Brennan strongly defended the quadrupling of air raids that took place under the presidency of Obama. Nor was it surprising to the world that Obama intended to launch missiles on Syria. Trembling from Putin’s threat, he decided to take the “democratic decision” of handing over this boiling cauldron to Congress. The prize has never been awarded with more coherence, if we consider that the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel made his enormous fortune thanks to his invention of dynamite and other explosives for the military industry. The Norwegian institute explained that the decision had been motivated by hope, in other words, not to see things as they really are, but as they wished them to look.

The concentration of capital is constantly increasing, and impacts campaign results directly, which inevitably turns against the population in a varied combination of manipulations. The System “does not play dice”. People with no economic power, become true civic “missing persons”, and are excluded from the election process. As in everything else, this biased filtering boils down to two opposite forces, which from the point of view of capital, are only one. Theories vary, candidates change, fears are manipulated and horrible outcomes are invented to deviate public attention that is seethed with anguish and quarrels that generate divisions, whilst the only constant in campaigns is money. The procedure is simple: just survive while the majority of the other candidates are forced to abandon. And the floating board is money. We have acquired universal suffrage, but we vote for those who have passed the financial test. In everyday language this means that we vote for what capital wants. And those who decide to protest by not voting do not matter, because their votes do not count. An obvious detail the System seems to ignore, lest vote actually becomes a power and is meaningful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532511617113-2V6X0E9AZSYQZLFHO020/Marco+Polo+original.jpg Visual Statements - Following Marco Polo’s footsteps Marco Polo (1254-1324) was a Venetian merchant and explorer who gained international fame for his worldwide travels. He was one of the first Westerners to travel across the Silk Road to China to visit the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Kublai Khan (grandson of Genghis Khan). His travels were narrated in the book Il Milione (“The Million” or “The Travels of Marco Polo”), dictated by Polo to a romantic writer, Rustichello da Pisa, during his time in jail in Genoa during 1298-1299. Travel, at that time, was dangerous and required a good deal of audacity, in addition to precise objectives. In a special supplement, The International Herald Tribune warned about the extraordinary growth as a result of e-commerce and other variations of financial transactions.

Designed by the American architect Maya Lin, they are in fact two walls facing each other that are 75 meters long and about 3 meters high. All the names of those Killed in Action as well as the names of those Missing in Action are engraved on these walls. As these walls reflect the image of those who visit the monument —three million visitors every year— the names are reflected onto the faces of those who stand in front of the monument, as though they were part of those who had fallen. A veteran of that war, Michael Norman, the author of the article “Lest We Forget”, reflects on the death of one of his comrades, shot in the stomach: “He may have died for his country or for his God or for nothing at all.” Knowing the view of General William C. Westmoreland, US Army General in command of military operations of that war, the first to be waged both in the battlefield and on the American television, we can’t help feeling that the latter and cinism were, perhaps, the predominant atrocity. “Due to the very nature of television, a distorted, compressed and visually dramatic vision of the war was presented [sic]. The war that the Americans saw was always violent, miserable and controversial [sic]. For the first time in modern history, the outcome of a war did not take place in the battlefield, but on the television screens.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532577137409-TSCAYVW3BF7CJJT4SJEZ/NY+we+don%C2%B4t+want.jpg Visual Statements - Doubtful transition Manhattan has become a foreign city, which most of its citizens do not want. Buildings of 30 and 50 stories multiply today in the midst of residential areas. Light and fresh air becomes scarcer as the phenomenon progresses. Edward Irving Koch, American lawyer and politician, who was a US Congressman from 1969 to 1977, and later Mayor of New York from 1978 and 1989, was the city authority when this article was published on November 28, 1987. The author, Philip K. Howard, director and counsel of the Municipal Art Society and director of the New York City Industrial Development Agency, suggested an elemental solution to the problem: laws should be passed for a better use of the land, and not for its destruction. “New Yorkers see the problem clearly”, he said. “The Administration should also see it”. The City Council had already provided ample evidence that the citizens demanded a new policy. A broad based coalition (including Henry A. Kissinger and activists from “Hells Kitchen”) appeared to try to block the proliferation of massive towers planned for Columbus Circle. Buildings of 50 stories are not something which belongs to the natural order of things, and is only aimed at raising revenues for the Administration. Why should the City Council focus its concern on maximizing revenues from these sources? In the meantime, residents of the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side wake up every morning amazed contemplating the facades of their businesses destroyed, and replaced by others to the taste of foreign customers. New voices have risen against the deterioration of the quality of life in the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532577785685-942VNP4OKT8H6O6E9XBO/Regreso+a+Katar.jpg Visual Statements - The return of the prodigal children Ahmed Ali Al-Hammadi, a Qatari who has a Wharton School degree in Finance from the University of Pennsylvania and a Masters degree from the Harvard Business School said: “Ninety nine percent of those who study abroad come back to work in Qatar*. “The opportunities are huge here both to move in the corporate ladder and in compensations. It rarely makes sense not to return". The story of Al-Hammadi is that of most of Qatari students, although it is more difficult for women to travel, because for Qataris there is no other choice but to study abroad. The initiative to promote high standards of education is that of the Gulf state authorities, who since 2006 are sponsoring special programs and even launched new programs in 2011 which were specially designed for executives to improve the skills of the people and attract regional talent. These new programs are intended for those who are already committed to a local business and want to stay.The idea is to create a solid cultural center, comparable to that of the West. “Someday we will achieve this,” reflected Al-Hammadi.

On August 18, 2008, sent by the Pulitzer Centre on CrisisReporting, Washington DC, Don Duncan, a free lance journalist based in Hong Kong, published in the International Herald Tribune his article “A tourist in Afganistan”. In it, it was made evident that two Afganistans co-exist, Mazar where peace reigns and where to this day, the walls of the fortress are not yet plastered, exposing machine gun impact, and the remaining rusted tanks and heavy artillery that lie scattered everywhere. International development groups had spent by that time more than 2.000 million in roads. Who return from the exile are forced to adapt to the extraordinary changes that have taken place: paved roads, roundabouts, all of which have the occidental touch, all these having been sponsored by France, Japan and Sweden. Also, which could not go without mentioning, the use of cellular phones among people. But the security and stability of Mazar starts to dissipate as you get near Kabul, an essentially cosmopolitan city, with a strong mixture of foreign culture, located only six hours of travel by road. The walls of the building are all cracked, as a result of the US bombings. The very Talibans have bombarded buildings at an effort to undo what the occidental influence means to Afganistan. The London Conference which ended on February 1, 2006, with the participation of 70 countries that promised 10.500 million dollars and aid to Afganistan to fight poverty, increase security and struggle against drug trafficking, apart from the “Pact of Afganistan” to rebuild the country, they seem insufficient to avoid the collapse of security, since 2005 was the year with a greater number of casualties since the North American invasion in 2001. The Taliban rebels are using the same terrorist methods used in Irak to undermine the Afgan government backed up by the Western world. The psychological legacy of the Taliban era will take a long time to fade. If such event were to be possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532619764998-7S5KZLIC3JQOSOJ2PP37/Milenio.jpg Visual Statements - New Millennium On January 1, 2000, Ricardo Kirchbaum, General Editor in Chieff of the Clarin newspaper, emphasized: “New Century, New Millennium, New Government”. Argentina was experiencing an auspicious fourth democratic change of Government. Apparently, the six fatal coups carried out during the XX century, in 1930, 1943, 1955, 1962, 1966 and 1976, 46 years of illegal government snatched by 14 dictators as so-called presidents. It is commonly said that the first four established provisional dictatorships, while the last two attempted to be permanent, implementing the bureaucratic authoritarian model of State Terrorism that victimized and disappeared tens of thousands of persons, whilst the rest of the population experienced a massive violation of human rights. The truth is that from the beginning, the Argentine military caste imposed inconceivable and arbitrary pretensions on the disarmed civilian population, and when they had to defend their country with honor, they failed disgracefully. The weapons used in the takeover of the La Tablada barracks on January 23 and 24, 1989 lead by the pathetic Gorriarán Merlo, were still warm. Even though President Alfonsín had to negotiate with the military mob with great courage, he managed to maintain an atmosphere of peace which lasted for many years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532623250599-PNNJT6ESOZW7RLXGIQXU/China+se+abre+al+mundo.jpg Visual Statements - China reopens its Frontiers Chinese architecture, which had fascinated the world with its impressive work, reopened its frontiers to international trade.

In 1985, the world experienced relief when the Asiatic country joined the treaty. In 1991, after the United States complied with North Korea’s demand of withdrawing all American nuclear weapons from South Korea, Kim Il Sung agreed to stop processing plutonium and became a nuclear-weapons-free country. Kim Il Sung, founder of North Korea died in 1994, was not replaced and was named Eternal President of the Republic. He was succeeded by Kim Jong-il, and then by Kim Jong-un, a son and grandson of Kim Il Sung respectively, and in spite of this lineage, there still are some who refer to North Korea as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. In 1992 Kim Il Sung again accepted to safeguard internationally his uranium enrichment processing plant and take the plant out of service. Once again in 1993, North Korea accepted new negotiations, and Bill Clinton awarded the Korean President the highest rank North America has ever granted. In the meantime, violating the 1985, 1991 and 1992 treaties, Korea finished the construction of its first reactor, built others, and completed and expanded its reprocessing plant. At that time that Philip Zelikow, a member of the National Security Council between 1989/91, and professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Goverment, decided to raise his voice of alarm in an article entitled: “Can talks with North Korea Succeed?”, published in the Op-Ed page on June 24, 1994. In this article he denounced the North Korean system of wavering between intimations to negotiate and threats of war, and he condemned the unresisting attitude with which the world had negotiated and even indirectly accused Jimmy Carter of having contributed for all this to happen with his interventions. Democrat Jimmy Carter, who was in office at the White House from 1977 until 1981, has always been considered with great respect by North Korea, in spite of the traditional communist animosity with the United States. His popularity in the world bears no relation with the image that Americans have of him. Zelikow advised Clinton that he should announce that any movement of nuclear warheads, monitored through satellites, constituted a threat to the United States. In other words, these warheads would be destroyed. Secondly, Clinton should also announce that the international community agreed to buy these warheads in exchange for food or construction equipment, and furthermore that he was prepared to gradually strengthen American military forces in South Korea. At present, North Korea is the eighth country in the world in nuclear weapons. In the manner of “The Picture of Dorian Gray”*, the mirror image proved to be the true one. *Sort of the Portrait of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde (Irish writer). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532624810317-CZCJ530SZ7YYIAGPDYRP/Laestafa+de+los+asilos.jpg Visual Statements - The retiree, a civil hero According to two Minnesota University investigators, Robert L. Kane and Rosalie A. Kane, those confined to a home for elderly people receive less than three hours of treatment per day. A meager compensation considering that these institutions charge 60.000 dollars per year. Wade Blank of the protest group American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, says: “Nobody wants to live in a nursing home”, and requests that the government give him 5 of the 23 billion dollars for what he calls the “attendant services”, that consist of providing help to the elderly that have to repair their homes and cars and have lost the energy to be able to do so. But the American Health Care Association convinced Congress, Bush and all the people that the help is mainly medical. The article published on the Op-Ed on June 2, 1991 entitled “The Nursing Home Rip-off” —something like the nursing home swindles—; signed by Mary Johnson, editor of The Disability Rag, a publication that is dedicated to issues on the rights of the disabled, highlights the fraud of the nursing homes, and denounced a broader crime: public funds are being misused. Once confined to these detention centers for the elderly, the poor elderly are deprived of basic needs such as food and hygiene, uncertainty of appropriate use of medication, identity theft (their identity is generally obtained by rummaging through the victim’s trash), they are at the mercy of health insurance fraud that could implicate a medical team, sexual abuse, fraud with credit cards or hypothetical investment scams, swindles related to charitable institutions, and many other possibilities, including greed of the same family members of the confined person. But surely, neglect is the most painful form of taking advantage of the person. Family members are the ones who take the elderly to these modern “prisons for old age” and abandon them. The good old saying: “a parent can raise five children, but five children cannot take care of a parent” still holds strong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532629882325-E9555ZDSCUPYP2F4Z7GC/Los+tres+montescos.jpg Visual Statements - Transposing the democracy wall The Sunday, November 27, 1994 Op-Ed page of the New York Times, published an article by Ben Sherwood, director of the Kathleen Brown Democratic Government Campaign, under the title “California leads the way, alas”. That year, illegal immigration was the most important issue, as it triggered the re-election of Governor Pete Wilson, who just one year before, had been declared to have been left out of the game by public opinion polls. A specialist in illegal immigration, Sherwood concluded that though it will never be easy to control immigration flow, attacking this kind of undocumented immigration with harsh and responsible policies is better than trying to control the havoc that the settlement problem will cause. Years later, concepts such as this one were the origin of the wall built by the United States of America on its frontier with Mexico, under Resolution 6061, of the Secure Fence Act of 2006, and approved by the Senate on September 14, 2006. Washington built it in spite of opposition from its own people and foreign countries. The auto-proclaimed country of freedom once again played the same role as its demonized opponent, the Soviet Union, who had done so with the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961, that physically marked the precise division of spoils of the Second World War victors. Politicians and journalists speculate with the population’s fear of terrorism and invasion, showing dramatic photos of the despair of those who risk everything to work outside their country of origin. They manipulate public opinion using the expression “illegal immigration” —when there are many others: undocumented aliens, unauthorized immigrants, undocumented workers— to identify them, which has a strong criminal connotation when the immigrant simply abandons his culture, family and country, as a result of not being able to forge a future with decent economic prospects, and is exposed to abuse and discrimination. This vulnerability also encourages trafficking and exploitation of undocumented immigrants, even by members of the same community. The life of the undocumented immigrants is marked by the lack of rights, and forced illegality that makes the idea of a livelihood project fade into oblivion. For them, access is forbidden to public health services, to home ownership, social integration, to vote —an essential element of self-protection— and education. And immigration laws cause more clandestine situations. When borders are open, the flow of people coming and going is permanent. When closed, those who have managed to circumvent them, tend to stay for fear of not being able to return. Also to this respect, the abstract invention of capital has more rights than the individual of flesh and blood, and it circulates at will. From a broader perspective, illegal immigration, feared by host country citizens, ends up providing an important contribution to the social development of the receiving countries, enriching their economies and customs. Much has been speculated about this issue, accusing undocumented individuals of promoting unemployment and wage reductions. However, a United Nations report demonstrated that these arguments were false. Worldwide migration has always existed. Ironically, it was the Europeans who massively moved to other countries during colonialism. Today it is their descendants who may unconsciously fear being victims of a new colonialism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532644482686-T17VRSQJXL4FZF86DWS3/Franchising.jpg Visual Statements - Franchising Franchise is a binding contract between an investor, who provides capital and labor, and an established corporation.

But their definitions have much wider implications. The Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy, defines “Terror” as a very intense fear, whilst “Horror” is an intense feeling (not necessarily of fear) caused by something awful, something paranormal. It is essential that in all cases fear must intervene, that arouses thrill in the presence of what is unknown, and the exhaustion of the person when faced by a monstrous fact or event. This is the theme of six unpublished stories of Argentine writers, published in the Clarín newspaper’s Supplement “Culture and Nation”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532645669126-DOWT1F0YTZ2014MAIFIR/Respeto+chino.jpg Visual Statements - China stands up looking for respect As John Hobson shows with abundantly empiric data on the economic and technological superiority of China over the Western civilization in “The Eastern Origins of Western Civilization”, these characteristics led that nation to play an important role in the world economy between 1100 and 1800, up to its conquest and decay in the XIX century, followed by manipulation and mugging brought by England, and then by Europe, Japan and the U.S.A. After 150 years of disgrace and humiliation, China emerges from the ashes to become the second major world economy, achieved through the accomplishments from the Chinese communist revolution, and later on from the nationalist army of Kuomintang. However, half century of attacks against Confucious and all the values associated with his legacy on behalf of the communist party and the ideologic fanaticism of the Cultural Revolution during Mao Zedong had made the people forget about the glory of the great Chinese culture, an essential condition to help China with its transition towards capitalism. ‘The world’s oldest civilization searches for identity through confrontation’, concluded Lucian “W. Pye, professor emeritus on political science in M.I.T., who is the author of numerous books on Chinese cultural politics, and of the article published on February 19th, 1996, in the Op-Ed Page from The New York Times. Thirteen years ago, Andre W. Marshall, the most influential strategist from the Pentagon, supported the report “Asia 2025”, which stated the following: “A stable and powerful China will be constantly challenging the status quo in East Asia. An unstable and relative[ly] weak China could be dangerous because its leaders might try to bolster their power with foreign military adventurism.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532646096417-0HNDNFI4M0C8Y38KFTNH/Ingestas+curativas.jpg Visual Statements - Vegetables & Co. Laboratories are lucky that nature is not protected by intellectual property rights as they have stolen, and in some cases have synthetically reproduced, several of the most effective active principles of known medicinal plants, selling them as their own property. There still are people who use many healing herbs in an honest way, as these have not been processed industrially, and have only been exposed to minor refinement processes, as is the case of infusions sold at herbal stores which continue to be the most important basis for preserving the health of the community. On the cover of The Living Section of the Wednesday issue of February 7, 1990, the New York Times published a comprehensive survey of the recent research and experiments carried out in the United States with healing plants. The survey made emphasis on how at that time, the National Cancer Institute had developed, a 20.5 Million Dollar program to study photo-chemicals. These elements are related to the important role of ordinary vegetables in the prevention of cancer. For the following year it announced a project to identify the specific components that can cure cancer: some belong to the family of linseed, vegetables of the garlic family, citric fruit, parsley species and its related family, and licorice root extracts. The toxicologist leading the cancer institute program, Dr. Herbert Pierson, sustained that in nature you find plants with a variety of properties, some of which may even be toxic. Science can isolate, select and regulate the components in order to develop food products with the adequate concentration of photo-chemicals, which could contribute to fight diseases, all of which is far less costly than promoting the discovery of new drugs. As the amount of money involved is enormous, laboratories had already begun maneuvers to control this business. By the time this article was published, garlic already had nine patents in Japan, and the National Cancer Institute was planning to study the power of garlic to fight cancer. There is epidemiological evidence that garlic could reduce the incidence of blood clots, as well as citrus fruits that may help to treat different kinds of cancer. But their beneficial effects do not finish there, as they contain large quantities of Vitamin C they could contribute to combat certain viruses, low cholesterol and reduce arterial plaque.

However, he started a democratic era without precedent in Argentina, as since then there have been no military coups. With a clear vision, in 2005 he forewarned of the enormous possibilities of starting economic integration between Argentina and Brazil, avoiding the rivalry of the past that had generated huge economic costs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1533566700243-D41KTMHVZY3PMR78IKP3/Deidad+tecnol%C3%B3gica.jpg Visual Statements - Technological deity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1533566855184-TV7Q7VD8EVN92N21PN1E/Buho+para+el+Chicago+Tribune.jpg Visual Statements - Cultural watchtower Illustration for the Chicago Tribune sunday magazine cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1533567348116-BJXRKFDOL3030I7VTS89/La+memoria+de+Shakespeare.jpg Visual Statements - Shaespeare's memory In a hospital in the East, a dying soldier, Adam Clay, bequeathed to Daniel Thorpe the memory of Shakespeare, not without first warning him that although memory has entered his consciousness, he will have to discover it, which will emerge "in dreams, in the vigil, when turning the pages of a book or turning a corner ".

When Judas betrayed Jesus is, perhaps, the most famous of all, even though there are many other infamous examples: that of La Melinche who betrayed its own Aztec people, that of Marechal Petain to the French Resistance, that of General José Antonio Páez to Simón Bolívar, the plot that murdered General Augusto Calderón Sandino, that of Colonel Jesús Guajardo who betrayed Emiliano Zapata, etc. Great Betrayals and the shifts in conscious of the traitors have been so many and so extraordinary that, persuaded by them, Dmitri Mendeleev omitted, perhaps deliberately, to exclude human conscious in his “Periodic Table of the Elements”, as the most flexible element in nature. “A traitor is a man who leaves his own party to join another.

Catching flying machines (Creative Destruction) Throughout history, the destructive process has been considered as something abominable, and being condemned. German sociologist Werner Sombart took a positive approach on the subject and his ideas became popular as a result of Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter’s book “Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy”, printed in 1942. Sombart and Schumpeter see in destruction a process of innovation indispensable for Market Economy, since it opens possibilities of generating new products. Anarchist and philosopher Mikhail Bakunin did not delay in embracing the theory, and sustained that in general, the destructive force is the force that creates “the New” (The passion for destruction is a creative passion). Of course, for this to be possible, new creators should bring to life new goods knowing that they only exist to be destroyed in the future. This statement launched cheerfully as such into the flow of current ideas, stirred up the members of the Inventors Association of Vienna, who published a manifesto in which they expounded the paradox of this issue and questioned the validity of the supposed improvements that would replace their exhaustively proven inventions, and they portrayed Bakunin as a tramp in a manifest printed as a large poster condemned to oblivion, which we reproduce here. Fortunately, saved by the collective memory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530481224889-TSKUPDXPFOKK9LM3IHL4/Cultural+sentinel.+Centinela+cultural.jpg Crossroads - Cultural sentinel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530481271062-Y37I9Z4JI4C982O4Y8A5/Daydream+warrior.+Guerrero+de+enso%C3%B1aciones.jpg Crossroads - Daydream warrior The Partido de Navarro received its name from Captain Miguel Navarro, whom Juan de Garay grants in charge to the cacique Pibisque (or Chivilque) with the rest of his malón. Although perhaps the most relevant event in its history is the battle of Navarro, in which the forces of the Unitarian General Lavalle defeat those of the federal Colonel Manuel Dorrego, Governor of the Province. "... Five bullets were embedded in the chest of Dorrego", says the Zamba de Navarro alluding to his execution, on December 13, 1828, in the vicinity of the El Talar ranch. It would be more than a century after, in 2010, that the joint effort of the Cultural Institute of the Province of Buenos Aires and the Municipality of Navarro, made possible the creation of the First Painting Biennial Lucio Correa Morales, award given to this painting which reflects at the same time that bloody past and the custody of peace by art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530481273171-ILW67TN9F882L8LP3DL0/Dimensional+intersection.+Intersecci%C3%B3n+dimensional.jpg Crossroads - Dimensional intersection. According to the theory of the unfolding of the phases of time, of the French physicist Jean Pierre Malet, everything in the universe, from the planets to the grains of rice, have a double quantum, a double existence, existing in a wave state —the natural state of our energy body—, while we move in the physical one. In instants of millionths of a second and under the REM phase or paradoxical dream, when our activity is more intense, these two realities make contact. Then, the impression is so intense that it can be captured by our "nuptial" camera (marriage with ourselves). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530481382482-IBT1RGS6EI57J2WW1YJ9/Game+over.Final+de+juego.jpg Crossroads - Game over Our birth begins a kind of game in which the most authentic sensations begin to be deposited, those more significant, that will accompany us on our journey towards death.

The pigeon, however, is far from being a peaceful animal (it is enough to see how a couple blinds a third dove, whom they want to expel from their domain). A variety of hedgehogs (potentially extremely aggressive animals) has developed the voluntary ability to transform their thorns into tender petals, and deserves to occupy the seat destined for pigeons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530481387129-OU0LEEO8HLCEHMD5FD9G/Hera.jpg Crossroads - Hera (ἭραHēra) is the legitimate wife of Zeus in the Olympic pantheon of classical Greek mythology.

The word "mask" has its origin in the French masque, Italian maschera, Spanish masquera or the Arab maskhara: "jester" or "man with a mask". But the most revealing of all these meanings comes from the Latin (not classic) the mascus, chew, "ghost". Being an element of protection, it is logical that they constitute also the most vulnerable part of the human being, since darkness possesses a natural voracity for light (everything learned in them lacks truthfulness, since "experience comes from of the senses, for light is required for every manifestation " (St. Augustine). In our time, and from the statements of Max Planck, in 1899, quantum optics and especially Photonics study the behavior of photons, particles Fundamentals of electromagnetic interactions and their behavior in the use of information transmission. What is disturbing is that being a bridge between two universes, this exchange, whether conscious or unconscious, is reciprocal. One wonders who or who peek behind our mask, and for what purposes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530481801806-QTSHZ1HLF6DXKV9SGT2H/Meeting+in+the+Latin+Quarter.+Encuentro+en+el+barrio+latino.jpg Crossroads - Meeting at the Latin Quarter, Montmartre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530481929612-IFDPMI4V57EIHBLGZUHW/Minotaur+coming+out+of+his+labyrinth.+Minotauro+saliendo+de+su+laberinto.jpg Crossroads - Minotaur coming out of his labyrinth Men worthy of faith (but Allah knows more) count than in the first days there was a king of the islands of Babylon who gathered his architects and magicians and ordered them to build a labyrinth so perplexed and subtle that the most prudent men do not ventured to enter, and those who did were lost. Those works were a scandal, because confusion and wonder are operations proper to God and not to men. With the passage of time a king of the Arabs came to his court, and the king of Babylon (to make fun of the simplicity of his guest) made him penetrate the labyrinth, where he wandered affronted and confused until the decline of the afternoon. Then he implored divine help and found the door. His lips made no complaint, but he told the king of Babylon that he in Arabia had another labyrinth and that, if God was served, he would make it known some day. Then he returned to Arabia, gathered his captains and his wardens and ravaged the kingdoms of Babylon with such a fortune that he demolished their castles, broke their people and captured the king himself. He tied him up on a fast camel and took him to the desert. They rode for three days, and said: “Oh, king of time and substance and number of the century! In Babylon you wanted to lose me in a bronze labyrinth with many stairs, doors and walls; now the Almighty has seen fit to show you mine, where there are no stairs to climb, no doors to force, no tiring galleries to cross, no walls to see the way. “Then he untied the ligatures and left him in the middle of the desert, where he died of hunger and thirst.

One has begun to take the first steps through that greater universe than the one revealed to our eyes.

I drew life-size blue prints so that those who participated in the project could place themselves on it, and the closeness or distance between the individuals could be mathematically evidenced. To travel comfortably by plane, be welcomed at airports and received on arrival by our loved ones, was a historic event which took place on the maiden voyage of February 5, 1919, between Berlin and Weimar, via Leipzig, and perhaps may have occurred in some subsequent journey of the legendary airline PANAGRA, when governments had not yet imposed arbitrary measures on behalf of our security. Since then romanticism exponentially multiplied the number of passengers, while internal capacity of aircrafts remained relatively stable. To make matters worse, the number of airplanes has been declining due to terrorism and the curiously called “friendly fire” of zealous guardians of airspace, so it became essential to put valuable idle inner space to use. It was then that I conceived the idea of the multiple eccentric seats that would quadruple the available space within an aircraft, and which I baptized as “multiple cockpit seat”. It was not a name picked at random. The word cockpit first appeared in the English language in 1580: "a pit for fighting cocks" (or hole for fighting cocks), which perfectly conveyed the meaning of the apparatus. I suggested the airline should fly an experimental aircraft exclusively fitted with these seats. This alternative was negotiated, and I had to accept that the first eccentric multiple seat would be installed in a cabin on steel rails. The incompetence of one of the testers and (why not?) a boycott, locked the mechanism, making it impossible to rescue three of the crew members. Today, the experimental seat is exhibited at the Curiosities Museum in Maastricht, together with the mummified bodies of three of the four crew members who participated in the experiment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530482096962-OZ40OEIXBL5IX3LC9JD1/Self+Made+Man.jpg Crossroads - Self Made Man https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530482128674-XS3K0WRUA2LIXS84O7BO/Story+of+a+face.+Historia+de+un+rostro.jpg Crossroads - Story of a face https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530482191235-89A9MN3W7QH682S66G9A/The+Bermejo+Codex.+El+C%C3%B3dice+Bermejo.jpg Crossroads - The Bermejo Codex Indian, legs in parenthesis, flat profile and a quiet gaze, Bermejo Uribe showed all the features of his race, sensitive but inexpressive people, with hard manes like the grass of the Andean plateau. He was a member of the Curupaití tribe. The press had taken note of them when only three remained; Bermejo, his grandfather and an old woman aged seventy six, who was unable to bear descendants. He had dragged his ancestral determination to the city, took lodging in a boarding house, in a filthy room next to mine, and since then spent his time spreading his millennial silence in every corner of the house. His movements were slow and infinite, as if those gestures had been drawn on the blackboard of time and he was limited to reluctantly retrace them. He used to sit in the front hallway, at naptime. He lay there, on himself, with the sufficiency of inanimate objects, like a dying foreigner sheathed in his own story. Most of the time, however, he lay confined in that room, the number nine, the one of the door eternally ajar, as the chain that replaced the classic latch, battered by use and time, condemned it to hang inwards, like the jaw of an idiot. One night, around midnight, the voice of a reed flute called from that room. A while later, as if on tiptoes, another flute embraced the melody of the first one. Then there was a third, a fourth, a fifth one. I approached in the dark and slowly half opened the door. The moon which had been spying along the corridor spilled across the room. Huddled in a corner, Bermejo looked at me motionless with his eyes chipped. —Holes have opened in my body —he said—, holes through which my music escapes. And he hugged himself trying to cover them. By mid-night, the flutes amounted to thousands. The thousands of reed flutes of an Indian, who in a last embrace, united the entire race. Other indigenous instruments joined in that agonizing complaint, lacerating as torn leather, similar to an ancient and rough callus caress. Then I heard the steps of the wind carrying the sounds away. So much so, that the morning brought them back, encrypted in a moist breath.

The first three paintings will be housed in each of the naves, and the fourth will have an itinerant movement among the others, as a symbol of the renewal of life. The paintings provided by Il Vitti are of such realism and voluptuousness, that the monks hurry to cover them with separate screens of interwoven wicker, which is drawn back at will. Analogous episode, although more venal, than that of the dispute between Cardinal Carafa and Michelangelo when he painted The Last Judgment in the vault of the Sistine Chapel (the painter was accused of immorality for having captured all the nude figures, and only afterwards of his death —not the same Pope would have dared to face the anger of genius—, the artist Daniele da Volterra was commanded to paint a cloth that covered the genitals of the images, which earned him the nickname "Il Braghettone" Later, the convent of Zarauz is taken by French soldiers during the War of the Pyrenees, who looted the place and the paintings. Other wars followed to this one until finally the Peace of Basilea is signed, in 1795. It will be over 190 years without any change in the place. The history of the paintings, however, has been caught in popular tradition. Finally, it was decided to commission, in 1986, a replica of those paintings. It summons to the quoted artist Carlo Mastroleone, painter that adheres to the “caravagismo”, school that proposes to take reality as a model, the beings of the streets, in reaction to the mannerism. In the first meeting, Mastroleone warns: "Replicas, I do not make". He is clarified that it could not be replicas because they lack an original. The discussion turns then on the theme of the screens: "I do not paint to spare, but to reveal", insists the artist. They reply that this is the case, but because of the religious nature of the place, the nudes should be as less nudes as possible. Logically, the conclave derives in an imaginary erotic disectomy that takes days. The negotiations continue until an agreement is reached. The high cost of the budget allows to make a single painting, provocatively hidden by vines, willows and wood, elements used for the wine of the mass, which will attract decidedly to the parishioners. A group of seven young virgins are chosen according to the purity of the wine of the mass, large quantities of vines are partitioned with wicker panels, and the work is started. The young girls begin their slow and systematic circular walk naked on the grapes, following the traditional way of macerating the wine. Its festive and youthful characters do not take long to make all that flow into an unbridled intake of wine, alcoholic drinks and a guerrilla of grape juice, bunches of leaves and grapes. The contract specifies that the painter must sketch the first forms with spots of local wine, for which he takes decided participation in the game in what a posteriori will describe as an alienating dance. After sixteen days and their respective nights, the place is reopened, the girls leave it, and in the afternoon, the priests enter to supervise the task. The large-sized painting (see) portrays Gertrudis (Trudy), an 18-year-old pulpy Dutch. The cleric continues his inspection and notes that Trudy has been deflowered by the painter, and states that from that moment the nymph stops belonging to God to belong to man. The painter affirms that this is not blood, but wine, but the scene is too contaminated so as to arrive at a scientific conclusion. It is advisable to compensate the painter with a smaller amount than agreed, who, indignant, depart from the town with his work in Trudy’s company. Months later, a council arrived from Bilbao confirms that because of the sacred work of the Mass, the other six young women have also been pregnant in full grace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530482431333-0HO6QL4GGKC1DT2E6M6Y/Under+the+doctrine+of+national+security.+Bajo+la+doctrina+de+la+Seguridad+Nacional.jpg Crossroads - Under the doctrine of National Security "Are they watching us from space?" is the most frequent question currently in developed countries. What is true in the existence of a satellite —the "Black Knight"— alien that watches over us? Astrophysicists rush to send signals to space while asking what is the reason why we have not returned to the Moon in 45 years. The answer is so simple that will surprise you: "It's the Big Brother's eye, stupid." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1530482455033-78DA97HR2L2WCFC397C2/Virtue+and+fortune+%28Machiavelli%29.+La+virtud+y+la+fortuna+%28Maquiavello%29.jpg Crossroads - Virtue and fortune (Machiavelli). Machiavelli understands by virtue, the personal capacity to dominate the events and to realize, even resorting to any means, the desired end. He understands by fortune the course of events that do not depend on the human will. In any case, Machiavelli understands that what one achieves does not depend entirely on virtue or fortune, that is, not for personal merit, not for the favor of circumstances, but for both causes. Mandated to do the calculations in infinite, where parallels cross, that balance was impossible to achieve. That is why post-modernity assign greater specific weight to Murphy's Law. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531753828078-IZEO56NE2ZWA3ML5OZGA/In+the+tent+of+Arihento.+En+la+tienda+de+Arihento.jpg Crossroads - In the tent of Arihento. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1531753910726-QCOSEMIAS4DT8V17C92C/Creating+each+other.+Cre%C3%A1ndonos.jpg Crossroads - Creating each other.

This leader sent a powerful message to Central Europe, saying: “being united does not mean that we have the same identity and are uniform”. There were many differences among the diverse Soviet Union opponents. These differences were clearly visible during the visit of Jeri Laber, Executive Director of the Helsinki Watch and author of an article published on the Op-Ed of the New York Times on December 23, 1987, with the title of “Different Leaderships in the Eastern Bloc”. Laber had consulted the leaders of Poland and Czechoslovakia, on the effects of glasnost. The Czechs bitterly sustained that the new soviet policies appeared to have left them in the cold, and the Poles were so engrossed in discussing the reforms recently introduced in their country, that they hardly mentioned Gorbachov. Both Czechoslovakia and Poland had generated longstanding opposition movements: Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia, and Solidarity in Poland. In August 1991, the Party’s hardliners conducted a failed coup d’état seeking to reverse Gorbachov’s reform plan. In spite of the failure, the right wing continued its pressure and the republics of the USSR began to proclaim their independence one after the other, forcing Gorbachov to officially dissolve the Soviet Union before abandoning power. Boris Yeltsin, one of the masterminds of the backlash, became president of the Russian Federation. Many were the reasons that contributed to the resulting pandemonium, among them, the explosion of the nuclear power plant at Chernobyl on April 26, 1986, the Russian Afghan War from 1978 to 1992, the investigation that unveiled the truth of the massacre of thousands of Polish officers in the Katyn forest during 1940, attributed to the Nazis, when it was committed by Soviet troops. All this, added to economic problems, was instrumental to conclude the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall, a symbolic event of this process that reunited Germany.

Johnson, Health Official of Jefferson County and specialist in medical effects of radiation, from 1973 up until 1981, and who from 1975 until the end of his term, carried out research which found evidence that the mentioned plant threatened the City of Denver, 16 miles away, with radioactive contamination, increasing the incidence of cancer in the population. The political response was swift. The committee presided by Johnson was changed for another more permissive one, who forced the officer to resign. An explosion that destroyed 620 industrial filters added to the drama. This accident resulted in the Denver area being covered with a four-year accumulation of plutonium and uranium powder that was retained in these filters. This event was so serious that the whole area had to be evacuated. The Atomic Energy Commission and the State Health Department denied that this event could affect the health of the population, even though severe soil contamination was registered at a school located twelve miles away. This caused the leukemia death rate to rise to more than double than the national average. Since then, the evidences and deaths caused by radioactivity were so many that the nuclear plant ended up being closed down by a congressional investigation. The total number of contaminated victims will never be accounted for. Nor will these atrocities come to an end. After this accident (which was not the first), there were other major ones, like the Three Mile Island, in the United States, on March 28, 1979, the one in Chernobyl in Ukraine, on April 26, 1986, the most resounding of all due to the shocking consequences it caused, the one in Tokaimura, Japan, on September 30, 1999, and the chain of explosions in the Fukushima nuclear plant, on March 11, 2011. It is impossible to understand the arrogance and alienation of these governmental serial killers, that manipulate and in most cases hide or minimize with absolute impunity and contempt for their fellow citizens, the harmful effects of the so called nuclear cemeteries, and makes it imperative that special laws to punish them should be enacted where the severity must be measured according to such atrocity.

When this article was published on September 9, 1995, this issue had been reignited. The author, Kathleen Horan, an English teacher at the West Side High School in Manhattan, claimed that her classes were attended by a mix of Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim students along with students of other different beliefs. In a speech delivered in 1875 by Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United Sates from 1869 to 1877 he said: “Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributors. Keep the church and the State forever separated”. President Clinton, in office at the time this article was published, maintained that the Constitution contemplated that a student in a public school could pray in silence, before an examination, and said that he himself had done so. He also added that while religion should not be taught in schools, information should be provided about the different religions. And Mr. Clinton, why not avoid discriminations, and expand the field of spiritualism to include agnosticism and atheism? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532516891378-IZ9DDJMNNWTORAXCE9Q7/Rosenthal+Perm.jpg Eyewitness - Perm 35 Perm 35 belongs to a series of prisons, forced labor camps, lunatic asylums and frozen small villages where the communist regime isolated and locked in its opponents under the wicked Article 70 of the Criminal Code. This place of horror was also the destination for common criminals and those who tried to escape from their own country and were apprehended. Columnist A.M.Rosenthal was the first foreigner to have had access to that restricted zone of the so called Gulag, which was revealed to the Western Hemisphere by Alexander Solzhenitsyn in his work “Gulag Archipelago”, published in 1973. Throughout his entire mandate, Mikhail Gorbachov denied the existence of these prisoners but finally in a speech before the United Nations, he said that “no longer are people kept in prison for their religious and political views”. Obviously, prior to leaving for New York he had set free the great majority of these unfortunate prisoners. During a visit prepared as a show for the North American journalists that were part of delegation presided by Rosenthal, four prisoners still serving their sentences were allowed to talk to the visitors. This unleashed the fury of the guards which was only moderated by Ivan Rakhmanin, an officer of the Procurator’s Office who led the visit. In the past, Rakhmanin had signed articles in the name of the Soviet Government, responding and denying Rosenthal’s accusations on the existence of these camps. When these elucidating events take place, no matter how well organized the visit may be it is impossible to avoid exposure of many atrocities committed, as well as the filtering of undesirable and unwanted information. The imprisonment of people, tortures, humiliations, death due to hunger and cold and even of children, and the destruction of families, makes us wonder where the ideals of the communist revolution are, which overthrew the czarist regime to replace it with the Leninist, including the treason of Stalin, and exile and murder of Trotsky, who was downgraded to the rank of a traitor. Or the self imposed seclusion of Fidel Castro in 2012, instead of attending the celebrations prepared in honor of his 86th birthday. One wonders if that seclusion is not an act of repentance for the political prisoners he kept in captivity for life, even though he admitted after that the model he had defended was not valid: a tremendous burden on any conscience. Even though it has failed repeatedly, communism will remain alive due to its role as an essential opposite side of the same coin which keeps us bewitched: The System. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532519521132-KD1F56GAPMYR3NYA02T7/Hart.jpg Eyewitness - Last stumble to oblivion Gary Hart was presidential candidate for the U.S. Democrat Party in 1984. Former Vice President Walter Mondale was the clear candidate of the establishment, followed by activist Jesse Jackson. Hart was the loser but this did not dissuade him. In 1988, Hart declined his presentation to a third term Senatorial mandate and decided to run as presidential candidate. This time the polls showed him as the candidate with most chances of winning, but his love affairs, that constantly mined his marriage, ended up discrediting him. The final blow was his challenge to the media to prove the allegations made about his relationship with a young model Donna Rice. It was then that The National Enquirer published pictures on its first page of Hart on a yacht with his mistress Donna sitting on his lap. After a turbulent week, Hart resigned his candidacy. None of this had been defined when James Reston wrote the article on December 20, 1987, with the title “Hart’s latest Blunder”. In a jovial tone, Reston indicated that the best Democrats were not included in this campaign, and that the worst —referring but not mentioning Hart, who were ridiculing the party— were reluctant to resign to the campaign. He compared his behavior with that of the boy who murdered his parents and asked for sympathy on the ground that he was an orphan. He advised voters to express their dissatisfaction by staying home on primary election day, to force Democrats to reconsider the best person qualified to govern the country. Hart did not give them time and sealed his fate in his lap. ”One evening I sat Beauty on my knees, and I found her bitter.” Arthur Rimbaud. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532520275486-SJ7PDY73UTJX0Q6IOBKP/Populismos.jpg Eyewitness - Populism The international press alerts us to the danger of populism, the threat of the leaders, symptoms of what has been called the democratic recession, indicated by the minimum indexes of institutional trust. That habitual suspect adopts different morphologies in each country. It is not uncommon that Poland, Hungary or Turkey have fallen into these deformations, although it is that the United States or Italy are with this problem. Is it possible that an opposite version of what Mouffe called a "de facto coalition" is being given to them, referring to established democracies? Is it, as Vallespín wants, that populism operates like the Greek pharmakon, that term that so fascinated Derrida with all reason, since pharmakon means both medical remedy and poison? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532521029565-D7OPPJ3E72JF8IFRGGIM/Madelaine+Albright%27s+Trump.jpg Eyewitness - Shall we stop Trump before Is it too late?

Inside the Reagan White House”, where he portrays the president as someone reluctant to read, that paid little or no attention to what his staff was doing, and who was an easy prey for him, as the construction of the presidential image is attributed to him. He also referred to Nancy Reagan as someone “capable of stabbing (even her husband) in the back”. He finished up leaving his post as spokesman, where he had an annual income of $ 70,000 Dollars to earn $ 700,000 Dollars as the vice-president for communications at Merrill Lynch. Another ungrateful dummy that ended up biting the hand of the ventriloquist who fed him.

In 1977, the General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed March 8 as the International Day for Women's Rights and International Peace. In its issue of March 6/7, 2010, the International Herald Tribune decided to publish a Special Report devoted entirely to women, and the front page article bore the title: “In the 21st. Century, the final frontier”, written by Katrin Bennhold. The writer stated that the new century would provide a number of challenges for women, from achieving scientific skills to becoming an indispensable contributor to peace. Regarding science, Bennhold referred to the famous song "New York, New York" ("If you can make it there, you can make anywhere": if you succeed there, you can succeed anywhere), and “said: If women can make it in science, they can make it anywhere”. The truth is that there have been many outstanding women in science. The most popular of all is undoubtedly Maria Curie, a polish chemist and physicist, but we can mention other top-level professionals, such as British Ada Lovelace, Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Rosalind Elsie Franklin, Austrian Lise Meitner, North American Barbara McClintock and, the most important woman in the history of mathematics—as Einstein sustained— Amalie Emmy Noether. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532560024042-AKIM5JYLS9GZLBLU1SYE/Spies.jpg Eyewitness - Central Agency of Unintelligence Ltd. It is said that in the hands of a skilled operator, a polygraph test detects changes in blood pressure, pulse, imperceptible muscle movements and changes in breathing with a reliability level of 90%, and has been used for many years in the USA, especially and periodically with CIA agents to prove their loyalty. When agent Aldrich Hazen Ames was arrested, a former officer and counter-intelligence analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency, charged and convicted of espionage during 1985-1991 in favor of the Soviet Union, who gave the KGB the names of all American agents in the Soviet Union, was said to have failed the three polygraph tests he underwent, but that these irregularities were not reported. The article published on March 8, 1994 on the Op-Ed page signed by Ronald Kessler, unmasked an accumulation of errors, complicity and laxity of the system, and called for a prompt reform of the existing situation. The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, R. James Woolsey, in the presence of several hundred employees of the state office and over TV closed circuit for the rest of the staff of the CIA, said he was skeptical about the polygraph test effectiveness. This was not the only diffusion revealed since then. It was confirmed that the procedure of partitioning the information was continually violated when officers exchanged secrets over lunches or, as was the case of Ames, during outdoor smoking breaks at the CIA headquarters. As the CIA is focused almost entirely on foreign espionage, it is vulnerable to internal spies, as in the cases of Ames, Harold James Nicholson and Robert Hanssen. The subsequently revealed truth was that Ames acknowledged that techniques to defeat the polygraph test were relatively easy to learn and perform. Other notorious spies Karl Koecher, Ana Belen Montes, and Leandro Aragoncillo, also dodged the polygraph test. What the polygraph tests unquestionably ended up detecting were the limitations of the Central Intelligence Agency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532578879855-55YWL1U23VK8BRSKDVUL/Medusa.jpg Eyewitness - The tale of TV’s Power Myths often thrive in inverse proportion to their accuracy”, declares architect Douglas Davis in his article: “Zapping the Myth of TV’s Power”, published on May 20, 1988 on the Op-Ed page. He referred to one of the most popular clichés of our time: that television has changed the rules of politics, giving priority to style and minimizing contents. As proof and amongst others, he mentioned the failure of Senator Al Gore Jr. in the primary elections in Illinois and New York, who in spite having spent large sums of money in 30-seconds spots, whilst other politicians such as Jesse Jackson, vice president Bush and Michael Dukakis, obtained excellent results in spite of having almost ignored television. Who is harmed by privileging style? Valuable information is concealed from citizens, but seldom will any evidence make the myth decline. Should this be the case regarding politics, public preference for the well documented printed press would have made the myth of the omnipotent power of television collapse, which is sustained by the sin of pride of both politicians and the television media (who are the only beneficiaries). Although the audience will very soon become a victim of its own passivity due to its passion for zapping vertigo. This illustration was chosen amongst those published since the beginning of the Op-Ed page, to represent that page in the book “Newspaper Design for the Times”, by Louis Silverstein (Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, 1990), Chief Designer of the newspaper. Years later, a variation of this illustration was published in the magazine “Ñ”, of the Clarín newspaper, with the title “Homo zapping”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532579486912-UDS8FX8KMRT4IN4MJC6V/Rape+as+a+war+weapon.jpg Eyewitness - Rape as a weapon of war When the word genocide is said, people relate it immediately to the six million victims of the Holocaust. It was only in 1992, during the conflict of the Yugoslav Republic, when the Security Council of the United Nations called the detention and massive, systematic and organized rape of women, particularly Muslims in Bosnia-Herzegovina, as a crime, a more aberrant genocide, that adds pain, mutilation, segregation and shame to extermination. It is related to the systematic rape of girls and women in captivity to dilute the purity of their blood, or their genital’s mutilation, so that they no longer give birth. The denunciation, published in the International Herald Tribune, was written by David Scheffer, ex-ambassador of the United States on Special Mission for War Crimes (1997-2001), he is a professor of law and Director of the International Centre of Human Rights from Northwestern University’s Law School. These types of procedures have been put into practice in the Balkans, in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Uganda, Eastern Congo and Guatemala during the government of General Ríos Montt, to destroy and or cause serious lesions against ixile maya women, in Rwanda, where it is estimated that between 100.000 and 250.000 women were raped during the genocide that lasted for three months, in 1994, and in Darfur. The Court’s District Attorney, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, presented charges for the war crimes and crimes against mankind, against Omar Hassan al-Bashir, because his agents and forces took approximately 2,5 million Sudanese women by force, including a large number of fur, masalit and zaghawa to detention camps, where the rapes and other forms of violence took place, against thousands of girls and women. The order of arrest against Bashir, sent out on March 4, 2009, concluded that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to process him for genocide. If two and a half million victims seem to be insufficient to blame a murderer beyond any reasonable doubt, this make us doubt about the reasonability of the fifteen members of the Security Council of the United Nations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532580150252-UVS4YI9G5H5Y9SY4LMJ1/Pretensiones+desproporcionadas.jpg Eyewitness - Disproportionate ambitions The conflict which set off in the present Bosnia and Herzegovina on April 6th, 1992, known as Bosnia War, was caused by an intricate combination of political and religious factors which followed the fall of communism in the former Yugoslavia in 1991, and was part of the international affairs since the NATO intervention. The war finally ended with the Dayton Treaties in Paris on December 14th, 1995. When the article “What will satisfy Serbia’s nationalists?” was published in the Op-Ed Page of The New York Times on December 4th, 1994, its author, Stanley Hoffman, president of the Center for European Studies of Harvard, made an analogy between the way in which the international community had dealt with this topic and what the League of Nations had done during the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 and 1936, and the Angle-French treatment of the Czechoslovakian crisis from 1938. When Italy invaded Ethiopia, the League of Nations imposed mild economic fines on them, limited to certain products, whereas the British and French were negotiating giving two thirds of the territory to Mussolini. The British opinion broke that agreement, and Mussolini continued up to conquer all Ethiopia. The mistake of the international community was to chase two incompatible politics —shared safety versus aggression—, and a commitment negotiated between the parts, treating them as morally equivalent, which kept the meetings more at a symbolic level rather than a real one, and the aggression prevailed. The same situation had been seen during the mediation of the United Nations when leaving the Bosnians to the Serbians. The author concluded by warning that if we continued to give in to the Serbian pressure this could extend violence to Kosovo, Macedonia or Albania. And even worse, there was fear that this could turn into an international crisis in the Balkans, causing a confrontation between Russia and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), increasing the tension between Western Europe and the U.S.A. After many attempts to conciliation, NATO decided to participate actively in the conflict. Their F-16 airplanes knocked down four Serbian aircrafts in central Bosnia which had violated the prohibition flight zone from the UN. This hastened the agreement between the parts, signed in Washington and Vienna, known as the Washington Treaty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532621211304-1992ZBUWNFXTC19NKEW8/Ridin%27+US.jpg Eyewitness - Children of Caligula When "doing anything" to achieve goals is permitted, everything can happen. Tzvetan Todorov In early March 2012, the US Senate asked the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces, General Martin E. Dempsey, if a military intervention in Syria was foreseen despite being involved in other war scenarios and considering the specific Syrian context. The general’s response included this categorical phrase of only four words: "We can do anything", (The International Herald Tribune, March 12, 2012). Generalized and used in other areas, this phrase could become the symbol of one of the essential dimensions of our culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1532621560662-NTUHWZUAHPC87Q7I7FCJ/Cinema+village.jpg Eyewitness - Living from film to film Shakespeare was almost right”, said Leslie T.

It refers to the remarkable case of an Afro-American soldier in the Korean war who kept on shooting from the top of a hill, even after all the other members of his company had been killed. When he ran out of ammunition, he started to throw stones at the Korean soldiers climbing the slopes. The Koreans were so impressed that they stopped for a moment, before continuing their ascent. Once surrounded, he used his rifle as a bat and continued to defend himself slashing blows. He was captured alive on express orders of the Korean command, because in that country there is an almost venerable respect for courage, and he was given special treatment. When the war was over, he was set free and never received any award from the military authorities of the U.S. The editor received this drawing, and thought it perfect to illustrate the case of flagrant racism, but rejected its publication, on grounds that the New York Times could not portray a racist Army.

During seven years Scott Anderson, author of the article “The price of peace in Ulster”, published on January 18, 1994, travelled regularly to Northern Ireland to meet with the “strong men” of the IRA, as well as their rivals the Ulster Defense Association, and having gained their trust, both sides revealed an overview of Belfast’s underworld. Therefore he was able to verify that both armed rebellions were financed by loathsome means such as offering paid protection and other extortive schemes, including those applied to drug dealers who made their own people undergo degrading hardships just as much or more than the British. Typical mafia activities disguised as patriotism. At that time, Internet had not been developed as much as it has nowadays, with a flow of information that makes this article appear rather candid. Today, any somewhat well informed citizen knows that an enormous network of intrigues and corruption involve politicians, royal families, the global aristocratic élite, armed militias, intelligence agencies and dealers, all loyal to a purpose: the enormous volume of black money. John Gotti, when taken to court was very clear.

As a result, many presidents and even members of the royal houses ended up imprisoned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1533847565611-RT01MEL4C2SVR6GKHCGB/3.jpg Eyewitness - Famous newspapers that made history In the midst of the disappearance of printed newspapers, and their replacement to a large extent by the sometimes alarming opinions expressed in social networks, it is fair to pay tribute to the contribution of those pioneers in the formation of the average citizen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1533847799707-236RXJNAOUVU386J4TIZ/4.jpg Eyewitness - On national interest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1533848317158-ZKXDTLJAYAPGHRCD0T66/OPINION.Finchelstein.+Advertencias+de+Roberto+Bola%C3%B1o+.jpg Eyewitness - Acid political rain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534022250709-MLOAFZ2PXXV5T9PSJ2LW/Referendum.jpg Eyewitness - Referendum Faced with the manifest incapacity, apathy, incompetence and fatuity of members of Congress to address such vital issues as the legalization of abortion and women’s reproductive health, citizens demand a popular vote, possibly one of the rights that survive in democracy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534264567286-U061YEYITM7Q7HA38XN5/Autoritarismo.jpg Eyewitness - Authoritarianism “They practice censorship, they enforce an hegemonic thinking and discharge all their force, intellectual and brutal, to demonize criticism. It is what they are experts, those authoritarians, in the annihilation of the questioner thinking and in the effacement of persons that dare to object to their ideas”, wrote Angela Pradelli on May 7th 2007. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534265015313-41CWMF0L2EKXI5MN8KPQ/En+la+l%C3%ADnea+de+fuego.jpg Eyewitness - In the firing line March 6th 2007. The government’s inefficiency has exposed us to live amongst a war of drug dealers and vengeful hoodlums, cameras, barbed wire, dogs and armed guards. Even though we vote every four years, “the hour of the hood” can be similar or worse than “the hour of the sword”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534689985040-MUZLL3560RLPKYZLS63O/Esc%C3%A1ndalo.jpg Eyewitness - Scandals A certain irreducible optimism led to think that scandals are moments of moral regeneration and reaffirmation of the established legal order with which the law punishes corruption. After countless examples around the world —among which are the cases of Silvio Berlusconi and Donald Trump— the evidence is clear and overwhelming: there are countless facts where citizens, due to skepticism about justice and politicians, make the scandals do not substantially affect the fate of criminals. Without the sustained attention of public opinion and the institutions of democracy, its consequences fade over time. https://www.horaciocardo.com/new-index daily 0.75 2018-08-06

printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. https://www.horaciocardo.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2018-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534794482440-43F1V5V7PTY1VHICW155/9.Engraving+or+stamp+to+print+the+cover+of+%2522Antolog%C3%ADa+Po%C3%A9tica%2522%2C+by+Conrado+Nal%C3%A9+Roxlo..jpg ABOUT Original engraving to print the cover of "Antología apócrifa", by Conrado Nalé Roxlo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534794192781-IYIE234MGO9FERUPR4Z9/7.Gandhi.jpg ABOUT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534795007044-TOFE85ILU8LI4LWPDUW2/Three+views+of+his+house+and+studio+in+Pinamar.jpg ABOUT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534794676704-F6SO64HCAQLRC6C8GG1R/10.Payador+y+Hawthorne.jpg ABOUT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534792995818-9OATF5QEX3L0ATVFCCRL/3.Primer+premio+recibido+en+1965.jpg ABOUT First Prize of Cardo’s career, Gold Medal, at the Annual Salón of Drawing, 1965. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534794100274-B1Q0O6U4QN1K4BPZOWAV/6.Un+mundo+en+cine.jpg ABOUT A world in cinema, by Stanley Kauffman, Marymar publishing house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534794342581-4TBT14ID6100X359XFZI/8.Pay%C3%A9.jpg ABOUT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c856e1f14aa1916ae39c36/1534792480220-M0UCBBS1GBC7TA3XM7Z3/1.With+my+two+titans.jpg ABOUT The house that his parents built when Horacio was about to be born, located in Alberdi street 62, Temperley.
