πασιένσια // πέιΣενς.

                                               la cuna de la democracia.
y una de las cunas de la deudocracia, en europa.
                                         necesariamente, la cuna de la Némesis de nuestra era, también.
                  esto no es una frase sentimental. sino una realidad histórica.
                                                                paciencia.

the cradle of democracy.
                                                     and one of the cradles of debtocracy, in europe.
                         necessarily, the cradle of the Nemesis of our era, too.
                                       and this is not a sentimental phrase. it is a historic reality.
                                                                 patience.

(EN) right at the very top we ask, 'where is the [old] world heading'. 

it seems we have entered the era of IN-humanity, where the most unimaginable, apocalyptic, fierce, anti-21st c. scenarios are taking place; what used to be called politics is a collection of exhibitions of power, of blackmailing and threatening, in a setting where the average human, the silent watcher or the active defender of morality, values, and human achievement, loses the concept of logic: what is democracy, law, human right, freedom (individual and social), what is humanity, what is peace, what is equality and harmonious coexistence...

no. fierce is all it is. wild is the word. monstrous is the new concept.
until. well... . ...until.

(ES) lo que preguntamos ahí arriba, sobre el rumbo de este mundo, es una pregunta ya permanente. lo que está sucediendo simplemente refleja una era nueva para la humanidad, por mucho que nos cueste reconocerlo o aceptarlo, ya que todo lo que representa valores, derechos (individuales y sociales), la posibilidad de coexistir en el planeta como iguales, el concepto mismo de democracia, libertad y paz, está en peligro. directa y abiertamente. lo que solía llamarse política es una constante exhibición de poder salvaje, de chantaje y amenazas. 

y no. no es éste el s.XXI que nos imaginábamos. una sociedad de monstruos es la realidad nueva.
hasta que. bueno... . ...hasta que.

(EL) γιὰ τοὺς ἑλληνόγλωσσους, ἑλλαδίτες - κυπρίους - ἢ τῆς διασπορᾶς, εἶναι περιττὲς οἱ ἐξηγήσεις. ἡ νεοταξίτικη ἀτζέντα ἐξακολουθεῖ, πιό ἄγρια καὶ πιό ἐπιθετικὴ ἀπὸ ποτέ, νὰ δείχνει τὰ -χαλασμένα, μὰ μακάβρια-- δόντια της, καὶ ἀδίστακτα ἐπιχειρεῖ, ἀκόμα καὶ ἐν μιᾶ νυκτί, νὰ ἐπιβάλει τὴν αἱμοσταγῆ ἐξουσία της. 

ὥσπου νά. ...ἔ. ...ὥσπου νά.




IMPORTANT NOTE: as shown in the second picture above, the northern part of the island of cyprus (which is obviously the current epicentre of the discussed topic), a 37% of the total territory, was invaded by turkish troops in july 1974, and, against international law, is still being occupied today, and Nicosia, the capital (greek: Λευκωσία [lefkosía] ) is the only divided capital in europe.

la noche.
la comunicación agradable, la comunicación problemática.
la comunicación ausente.
las almas que escriben con alma y arrojan sus botellas electrónicas en el océano, un océano www.

un océano antrópico.

ὠκεανὸς ἀνθρώπινος. ἀνθρώπειος.

'uno nunca quiso ser héroe, nunca tuvo interés en ser mártir', escribimos. y ellos entendieron.

la felicidad de antaño, cuando estaba claro (?) que íbamos a vivir --¡qué suerte!-- en un lugar y una época sin guerra, que nuestra generación no iba a sufrir como la de nuestros padres, de nuestros abuelos, de nuestros... ...; pero nos tocó otra cosa. nos tocó esto. a nosotros, a nuestros hermanos del mediterráneo, y a muchos más. 

¿entonces?

vivir. de acuerdo. un eufemismo. εὐφημισμός, ὅπως τόσοι ἄλλοι.

and what comes to mind, lo que se te ocurre por enésima vez, that sweet song by VNV. and you sing along. and you feel along,

arrojando tu propia botella. de noche.

my restless soul is longing/

the european south is still burning, still boiling. why?
because certain countries ( = certain governments = certain powerful(?) centres of this planet = certain agendas etc. etc.) want it this way.

gxi jam faras tion.

the SHOCKING REALITY keeps dancing

1. this morning an elderly man committed suicide in public (Syntagma sq., 'platía syntágmatos', πλατεία Συντάγματος = square of the Constitution!!*) stating that he couldn't live/survive any longer under the pressure of the financial 'crisis' imposed on the country (of course, thousands of suicides [almost 2200, according to official sources; the actual number might be bigger] have been committed in Greece 'privately/quietly' (?) over the past two years for the same reason)

2. yesterday a greek court found a german magazine that had published a peculiar (insulting) version of an ancient greek statue on its cover, not guilty

one more time: GREECE'S FATE IS IN THE HANDS OF SPECIFIC DECISION-MAKING CENTRES OF THIS PLANET, WHO WON'T HESITATE TO IMPOSE THEIR LETHAL POLICIES ON ANYONE TO MAKE SURE THEIR IMPERIAL AGENDA IS CARRIED OUT  N O   M A T T E R   W H A T .

unless.

unless.


* opposite the greek parliament in Athens (in Syntagma square, which was the main setting for the protests and demonstrations that started on May 25, 2011 [hence the count on this humble blog] and also the huge outbursts, time and time again, of police brutality)

globalization & social media nonsense

what is globalization really, other than the coordinated bloodthirsty efforts of the mortiferous economic system, which has one purpose and one purpose alone: to oppress, exploit and ultimately kill...

just a thought ----

and, as though this were a situation we can deal with, we have to read on social media profiles of people, young and educated, alas, the information they choose to disclose about themselves, in a cool and OK manner too, throwing it at any reader, total strangers in their majority no less, to manage to do WHAT exactly? WHO CARES? WHAT EGO TRIP are they on and how on earth can they think that anyone cares??!! hellooooo, the planet is sinking, ever heard of that??

insignificant creatures that once created the illusion that, perhaps, they mattered.

greece, democracy, europe

what are people(s) in europe (and, of course, the rest of the world) complaining about? don't we have enough democracy all of a sudden? aren't we, all of a sudden, free enough?

this is the era of free access to information; one should take a look at the sources, and, thank God, there are several free voices across the globe that can --still-- speak; and be heard;

developments in the european continent are important and happen fast; some say, not fast enough; not a long time ago we heard official references to the southern countries, and ireland, as PIIGS!!!!... seriously??!... it is a long established fact and an everyday reality to every living person on this planet that the one omnipotent word [and, obviously, activity] is economy; again: not too long ago, people were talking about the european union as a union of the people(s); as it turns out it is more like a union of the markets; oh, and btw, what does the euphemism 'markets' mean? answer: it means the banking system, basically; it means those specific people who pull the strings and get to decide on the kind of present and future that each country, people, human being is going to have; right now, as we speak, there are different intentions and velocities at which the components of the continent are moving ---

but i digress... ----greece: in 2009 there was a change of governments; the conservative (right wing) party had to go; literally; we are now told that its leader was 'ordered' [by ...???] to step down; they gave the power to the so called socialist party; via elections, certainly... only: the socialist leader was promising at the time that there would be no crisis any longer, due to the fact that "...there IS money"; that turned out to be the biggest lie; a conscious deliberate one; it was later proven that the man had already been negotiating with notorious international fora before being elected, after that the party in question kept undermining the country's financial position via insulting statements (which have a direct negative effect on the 'markets'), actions and omissions, left the boat helpless amidst various international winds for months, and then, one morning, announced that "we are getting 'help' from the imf"; all that time, and up to this very moment, individuals from within the local and international banking system have kept high places inside the government and operating in mysterious ways; the government (actually: the two major parties that have been forming governments for the last decades) is supposedly seeking rescue, but in fact working with the very people who either participated in the disaster or are just taking care of their own interests, which is the 'natural' thing to do: money...

to cut a long story short, anyone who is misinformed will gladly think and/or talk about the greek people in the worst of words; that is what propaganda does; they will attack their productivity, their honesty, their ethos; the truth is that the greek people, the citizens, are to blame for one thing and one thing alone: they trusted their leaders; they trusted their politicians who are the only ones responsible --along with a few others, NOT unknown any more-- for what is going on now;

and what is going on now? ---from 2009 to this very moment a zillion of measures has been taken behind the people's back; the greek people, the sovereign voting citizens, apart from being manipulated, deceived and now exploited, were never asked to give their opinion about anything; not once; they just had to sit back and watch their politicians act against their will; two things: a) were there other alternatives in the first place? -- independent economists keep proving that there were and still are, different ways to build the economy without falling into the nightmare; b) did the people actually show that they are against all this? -- YES, repeatedly; from the month of may onwards, the country has been boiling: peaceful protests and gatherings outside the parliament, public figures with their speeches, music and dance and happenings in all cities: the state answered with fierce attacks of the riot police often acting as common criminals DELIBERATELY, multiple incidents of extreme violence took place, officials remained in their places and everything went on as before...

THERE IS NO DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTION CAPABLE OF HELPING AND PROTECTING THE GREEK PEOPLE AGAINST THEIR HOSTILE REGIME !!!



THE NIGHTMARE. THE PRESENT

A) in november a parliamentary coalition was formed and took over, with a representative of the banking system playing the role of the prime minister [interestingly enough, something similar has just happened in italy... wow...] : NOT VIA ELECTIONS, NOT VOTED FOR, THUS NOT LEGITIMATE; they will carry out the pending program THAT LITERALLY KILLS THE CITIZENS whereas there is only a vague whisper about elections at some future point; was that what the people demanded?  N O !  --and who gives the orders, again? check your sources, people...

B) justice sleeps or works side by side with the regime and against the people in a number of ways: the treaties that were signed, the measures taken and the overall political decisions not only were never approved by the people thus lack all legitimacy, they are also directly against the constitution and the articles that rule procedures like that; at the same time, both the political and the judicial system fail to shed light on the corruption, which has been playing its own part since day one (as in ALL countries of the world), and send even ONE politician to prison for their actions; another keyword: Argentina, 2000-2001...

BTW: corruption exists in ALL countries of this planet; he in whose country there is no corruption cast the first stone...
C) the suicide rate has gone up because of the situation; how can something like that even go unnoticed???!!! and yet, on top of that, the 'government' has now decided to cut off the electrical power for all those who are no more capable of paying their taxes (one tax, in particular) ; just days ago the european officials in charge of those matters [nothing to do with any 'officials' who take active part in destroying the country] stated, after being notified by a greek left wing official (not by the government of course), that, on top of everything else, such measures are AGAINST the european community law and as such they are UNACCEPTABLE --- so what? the greek government, a coalition now, formed by the right wing-the socialist party-and the extreme right wing, doesn't give a &*^&; they go on as planned;

THE GREEK POLITICIANS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LEFT WING, SPREAD THE TERROR AND BLACKMAIL THEIR OWN CITIZENS:  M A D N E S S !!!

THE VERY ONES WHO SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING THE NATION OVER FOUR DECADES TO THIS MESS, ARE STILL IN THEIR ARMCHAIRS AND ACT AS SAVIOURS:  M A D N E S S !!!

(it is interesting to bear in mind that a long time prominent member of the socialist government and also current minister of finance is a former professor of constitutional law... i rest my case...)


EPILOGUE


greece is dying. so is democracy. so is, perhaps, europe.

unbelievable, huh? the mind can't cope with the information... who would have imagined the face of europe in the 21st c. no less, like... this??...

and one last(?) question: who are the ones, countries? or organizations? or individuals?..., who demand that a country, a whole nation, SELL all its assets, at a 'good' price too, and turn its citizens into slaves with no sovereignty and no independence?... one more topic for further investigation...

and here's one more 'last' question: what is 'debt' really? where does it come from? how is it that soooo many countries owe those COLOSSAL sums of money? and whom do they owe them to??!! :O :O :O also: was greece the country with the biggest debt or the biggest deficit around???... more food for thought...

anyone reading this may take it as an appeal, or as a purely subjective text, as fiction, as whatever... however, it is based on undeniable facts and the question remains: greece aside, where exactly is europe headed? where is the planet headed, for that fact? who makes the rules and who is supposedly 'more equal' so as to decide on other people's future? whereas britain consistently refuses to be a part of the european 'dream', a few more european countries are either knocking or thinking about knocking on the imf's door... did the new currency, the euro, bring happiness ( = read: prosperity)? was it ever even meant to do that?

this is the greek, actually global, tragedy; ignoring facts is not bliss; accurate information is; and lack of bias; of course, the real tragedy is that even with that knowledge, an extra step needs to be taken.

retrakontoj / web stories

(EO) sxajnas ke la reto enhavas cxion: personojn kiuj emas afisxi iun ajn tipon de personaj/sensencaj/malutilaj/stultaj aferoj, ankaux personojn kiuj preferas uzi la mirindan ilon kiu nomigxas teknologio/interreto por publiki artajxojn aux scion aux informojn pri la gravegaj mondproblemoj --

cxiu elektas tion kion oni kredas plej bonan; tamen, eble la elemento kiu ludas cxie gravan rolon estas la afableco: bela retkonduto plibonigas la reton, la uzantojn kaj cxion generale...

(EN) it seems that the internet has everything: people who like to post any kind of personal/meaningless/useless/stupid things, and also people who prefer to use the admirable medium called technology/internet to publish artistic stuff or knowledge or information about the most serious world problems --
everyone picks what they believe best; however, perhaps the element that plays an important role everywhere is kindness: nice web manners improve the web, the users and generally everything...

world what??!!

this blog does not share the craze about world 'x day' or 'y day' or 'f day' : those are just alibis to give us some relief for being inadequate, completely or in part, during the rest of the year --whether it be a personal issue or, even worse, a matter of humanitarian or ecological dimensions;
all things really important -and there is not that many of them- require a lot more than a 24h reminder and certainly a lot more than a few people here, a few more over there, a tv commercial [always] or occasional smalltalk;

and by the way: someone said a long time ago that this here is a 'big disease with a little name' --it's true; we don't need capital letters that magnify, glorify and help spread the panic; the name is aids; simple as that; it doesn't have to stand out;

so they say it's big; might as well be; BUT

they should also say that

W E 

are

B I G G E R --

will you remember that tomorrow?
will i?

(conlangs) --> ConWorld(s)

the title implies that i had a different post in mind, namely one about conlangs, based on my experience/interaction with people who devote their energy to those creations, plus my own personal thoughts, but instead we're face to face with a new priority, which combines the intellectual activities of conlangers and the 'real world', the usual mortal three or four dimensions we all know --

a ConWorld, then? a new Creation that has been in many people's heads -pioneers' or not- or talked about in everyday conversations, dreamt about in individual visions and expectations, mentioned in boring or exciting political analyses, referred to in ancient traditions even... a World that can replace the present nightmare, a Conscience that can spread far beyond the critical mass, if it hasn't already, a Reality with no monsters, literal or metaphorical (which might be the only difference from the conlangers' version, haha), a Reality that will not use the word 'real' as a pejorative...

is that feasible? do dreams have a chance? do Dreams?

we might get sooome information tomorrow: there is a literal tomorrow (15.10 or 10/15) and a metaphorical one; the generations that are now occupying the planet [pun intended] must?/should?/are about to? generate something, it seems --

and then, there is the day after;
