there will be no christmas in the land where jesus was born. not this year, not last year, and we still don’t know when again. that land, by the name of Bethlehem, where now houses are rubble, where now dreams are nightmares, where now children aren’t innocent anymore, where now people are ghosts and justice became revenge. no, there will not be christmas anytime soon there.

O Estado é impiedoso com os honestos mas misericordioso com os desonestos!...

Democracy and Human Rights are so bent and twisted that life for the future generations will be harsh -like going back to the 1900’s. Plus today’s challenges, like global warming and the rise of the neo-facists/nazis, and it looks bleak, very bleak.
And poverty is still left for the remorseful philanthropist to end it, with a badge of honour and pardon weaved together on a pattern of novelty; he who created it in the first place!

Nas duas únicas vezes que a América teve a oportunidade de eleger uma mulher para o cargo de presidente do país... foi eleito um homem, o mesmo das duas vezes. E se na primeira vez foi um erro de ‘casting’ na segunda vai ser um ‘lasting’ erro. E não só revela um machismo bacoco, como que a educação não acompanha a evolução...
O tempo do revivalismo da doutrina nazi veio para ficar!
Humans can’t win any war, ever!
My friend,
My neighbour,
My enemy,
My sister,
All live around me
Like people,
Like me,
Like one and all,
With hair,
With eyes,
With fear
And the occasional tear
I love,
She loves,
They love,
We love
And occasionally we fight deadlier,
Proudly first,
Tired and frightened in the end,
But too late for the dead,
Of course,
And to right the wrongs
While the lessons of war
Became an extended loop;
As if reason could be resuscitated,
After being shot through the heart,
By pouncing it repeatedly,
Unfortunately it never happened
And my enemy is no more,
And my friend is no more,
And my sister is no more,
And my neighbour is no more,
And I will be, too, no more
If I can’t declare war illegal
Oftenlly we should dare... peacefully!

Once upon a web, there were people preaching values without any value. They are fronting the backwards movement, teaching their followers how to channel likes-money into their pockets in exchange of mental mayhem first, and mental paralyzes afterwards.
Very articulate in nothingness and willing to forgo most basic decency, they fill their dreamers, another adjective for the blind crowd of followers, with enough prejudice and malice that the devil, quite certainly, will be out of a job, and his future looks bleak; he may, even, be considered a saint, pretty soon, if we manage to have a good look at this devious matter.
'It's the education, stupid!'
Now that everybody’s surrender to the not so obvious iconic picture of the man conquering nothing -I believe many compare it with the Iwo Jima display of the American flag by brave soldiers- but a few more years of the same life, I would love to see the frail one to get it and say out loud: ‘Kamala, it’s time for a woman to take over where men failed over and over again. I quit and may you bring wisdom to this nation and, therefore, to the world too. Thank you and goodbye!’ That's what I would call a brave wise move!
I do not condone violence, but for a man who wants to be president of a country to say ‘fight!’ and show up a fist, the very first words after an attempted assassination… he isn’t talking about the Russians but its own folk -at least half of the country, the ones who don’t vote for him. Humility does not come easy. That is very sad.
