2000 years of history

Old habits die hard. European habits are 2000 years old. I by now, am starting to believe they are immortal.

It's not cool to be nationalistic. It's cool to be United Europe.

But also, it's not cool for our European Leaders to take half-measure decisions. Like imposing a common fiscal policy without a common European democracy. 

I want to vote for EU President. I want to vote for the European Commission President. I want to vote for the general prosecutor. And by all means I want to have an Army if we're going to have a common fiscal policy anyway.

I guess since Europe never had democracy for 2000 years (on all its territory at once) why start now?

We will NEVER forget!

A comment on the site of UK newspaper The Telegraph about the current Euro crisis synthesizes the opinion of common people from Britain but also more often than not the opinion of British politicians:

"European politicians have almost created the very monster they claim that the United States of Europe was designed to prevent: future conflict. And still they cry "we need more Europe, not less."

It is past time for sanity to emerge; for the Euro to be abandoned and the EU to be remodeled into nothing more than a Single Market."


I want to send my own message to Britain today: 


Thank you for saving us from nazi troops. We will never forget.


Thank you for doing your best to destroy Euro and the European Union, and throw us all into misery just so you can save your damned pound and wrecked economy. 
We will NEVER forget!

It feels like that everyday nowadays

Four years ago (in 2007) when I was in Milan (for just 6 hours between flights) I took random shots of people in the Dome Square.


It was one year after I took the photo, when I was reviewing some of my travel shots that I realized what a powerful symbol this photo carries. I thought back then: Oh, what a lucky shot! Getting the feelings on film without the feelings even being there.

Even more years later, I realized how well it can depict the turmoil boiling beneath the European Union. Could it be that this shot shows that nationalism, xenophobia and racism were boiling long before we even realized it is here? Could it be that the photo actually recorded true feelings?

E.U. - We're doing it wrong

In 2007, well before the current turmoil hit the society, Jose Manuel Barroso (president of the European Commission) said: "Sometimes I like to compare the European Union as the creation of organization of Empires. The Empires!...But there is a great difference. The Empires were usually made through force in a center that was imposing a diktat... And now we have what we call a non-Imperial Empire." 


Years have passed by and it looks like European Union turned from a beautiful dream into a horrendous nightmare in a blink of an eye. Everything seems to crumble apart. Euro, the common coin (that the strongest economical states use) is at the brink of disaster. Peaceful, pro-European and anti-nationalistic feelings - the very fabric that holds this fragile union together are turning into hateful, egoistic and mean feelings. Day by day, Europeans start thinking not how to get along better but how to hate more.


Each day that passes, one European will stop believing in the United Europe project and start supporting nationalistic (even extremist nationalistic) projects. Each day that passes newspapers will publish a new article of how other countries or even the European Union are at fault for their own economical state. But never their own country will be at fault for anything.


European Commission is overwhelmed by the situation. Greece is falling apart while Merkel and Sarkozy are putting a feeble attempt to save what's left of the dream that no longer than 10 years ago was UNITED EUROPE. Sadly they too seem to be failing.


How is it possible, I wonder, that the best project of peace and prosperity that has ever been seen on this planet is starting to fail so miserably? Is peace overrated? Is economical prosperity pursued in its purest form of sincerity doomed to fail? Are people just selfish, narrow-minded and conflictual?


Actually, most of them are. And history has told us that any enterprise built on denying the reality of human nature - the true fabric of society - is doomed to fail. So shall the European Union in it's current state.


Because European Union is a synthetic construction, with a synthetic ideology and, more important that not, a synthetic communication policy. I mean, what the hell does that flag mean? Saint Peter? Jesus? The constellation of Orion?


Just as the whole structure in itself, the symbols of European Union are flat and lifeless. They are a depiction of the force, the engine that drives hundreds of millions of people into working, fighting and believing in something. That force is missing: a ring of stars.... Those do not even symbolize all the nations united under the flag. Pathetic!


People want GREATNESS! That is something that our European leaders seem to have forgotten long ago. Instead of firefighting the money shortness, in order to build a new Europe, Merkel and Sarkozy should focus not on fighting the banks, but fighting the lack of will of most Europeans these days. A country with an apathetic population will perish. An Empire with an apathetic population will disintegrate.


People want greatness. This is our only chance. People will not fight for something that do not understand (like banks and finance and budgets), but they will fight for that leader that brings greatness back to them. And greatness starts with the symbols of the Empire.


We may be a non-Imperial Empire, but we are an Empire nonetheless.


We the people of Europe want to see a flag, that holds the symbols which drove us to greatness, to work and to war for more than two thousand years: we want to see the Aquila, the lion and the bull united under the same flag. We want to see the cross, the grain and the olive branches. We want to have great symbols if you want us to be great nations united.


And this is how it would be done right. You can keep the blue color or you can have all the colors of Europe as long as all the rest is golden. And somewhere, tiny in one corner you can have your damned ring of stars.


Of course, a symbol is not enough. It takes a true leader to drive and hand it all together. We seem to be short of such at the moment...

Perhaps it never really ended...

The greatest unjust and murderous act mankind has ever seen is still ongoing. Because it is not even condemned, lest punished. And it's not the Jewish Holocaust. Not that the Holocaust was not an abominable act. It was, and it was terribly wrong. But yet, there was something worse than that and echoes of it are still heard today (and people are still killed for it).

Dedicate 85 minutes of your life to this movie (if you have not seen it yet): The Soviet Story by Edvins Snore.

Many words that need spoken will just remain mute after watching this soul shattering movie. However I want to ask that may be obvious to many but yet unspoken:

Why do Saddam Hussein and Stalin look alike? Why does Janis Dzinters (the KGB interogator in the soviet occupied Latvia) looks like Radko Mladic? Do genocidal monsters have a common DNA? WHY do they look the same?

And finally: if Putin had a toothbrush mustache and black hair, would he look like Hitler?...

The final part of the movie is terrifying and raises a good question: why is European Union still quiet about the terror and genocide that happened after the Nazi Germany was defeated? And more, why are the statues of Marx and Engels still standing?

We are fast approaching treacherous times and, as a historian of my country said more than 60 years ago (before he was executed by nazis): People who forget their history are doomed to repeat it.

It's time for us Europeans to get our shit straight so we don't live what our grandfathers suffered.

NOT a parallel Universe

July 22nd: A horrible terrorist act conducted by Jews. King David hotel where the English troops General Command was established was destroyed by a mine. Under the rubble were found 100 dead and many more wounded. This was cataloged by prime minister Athlee as a brutal murder and the greatest assassinate ever committed in Palestine. USA President has condemned the bombing declaring that such terrorist acts will delay efforts for resolving the Palestinian problem. The cause of this acts are the dis contempt of Jews against British that are not allowing the immigration into Palestine of Jews from Europe. In fact not only British oppose to the immigration but also the Arabs in Palestine that threaten they will oppose with weapons.


August 24th: Troubles and threats continue in Palestine against British that locked in camps the Jews that entered illegally in Palestine. Today the papers announce that "the underground Jewish move is mobilizing all it's forces to defeat the British blockade against immigration in Palestine." Sten organisation announces in Jerusalem that in case that it's 18 members that are on death row will be executed, Sten will carry out numerous individual assassination among British authorities in Palestine.


November 6th: The British Consulate in Rome was bombed. The attackers are believed to be Sionist Jews. Also, in Palestine the terrorist attacks against British authorities are a daily occurence: trains and buildings bombed or mined, military and political personnel assassinated.

How tough are you?

Big boys don't cry. 


That is almost correct. Even big boys cry from time to time. Rarely, when nobody can see them, big boys do cry. Last time I remember crying is 7 years ago when I watched The Last Samurai for the first time. I started when Tom Cruise said the story about the fighters in Thermopilae. And went through all the bullets of the machine gun.


I never thought I would be moved to tears again. Ever.


Until accidentaly I stumbled upon this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4CBLVNG2Q4

I will never complain about anything ever again. And I promise: after you see this video - neither will you.

Contingent Liabilities

A good way to tell that you're being jacked off your money is when people give you all this fat sounding nonsense that you can't make a damn sense off, Like:


"But the ECB rejected this request at the time saying it was not in its mandate and would impose contingent liabilities on its balance sheet."


What the FUCK does "contingent liabilities" mean? Can it be drawn on a piece a paper? Can it be explained by simple dictionary words in just one (even very long) phrase?


No? Than it's a rip off. There's no such thing good science can't explain in simple words. Isaac Asimov proved it [RIP]. Michio Kaku proved it. Stephen Hawking proved it. And THEY are the smartest people on this planet and still could explain us so that we can understand.

A matter of view

The higher the altitude you meditate over the world, the higher the moral leverage. I guess that's why rich people buy top floor offices. Imagine thinking about your next negotiation at sewer level.

Beethoven

"Beethoven was a total rock star. Besides the hair, there's a painting of him with his souped-up guitar, and of course the fact that he went deaf because he hadn't worn earplugs. And then there's the fact that he was never married but may have managed to get syphilis."

Great one mate!

"I was in a taxi the other day and the driver said:

- I love my job, I'm my own boss. Nobody tells me what to do.

I said:

- Turn left here mate."
