Operation InfeKtion

por josé simões, em 13.11.18

"Russia’s meddling in the United States’ elections is not a hoax. It’s the culmination of Moscow’s decades-long campaign to tear the West apart. “Operation InfeKtion” reveals the ways in which one of the Soviets’ central tactics — the promulgation of lies about America — continues today, from Pizzagate to George Soros conspiracies. Meet the KGB spies who conceived this virus and the American truth squads who tried — and are still trying — to fight it. Countries from Pakistan to Mexico are now debating reality, and in Vladimir Putin’s greatest triumph, Americans are using Russia’s playbook against one another without the faintest clue."

Mais de cem anos de repúblicas de bananas

por josé simões, em 04.11.18

A verdade é que os Estados Unidos começam agora a colher os frutos de décadas de apoio a governos corruptos e fantoches, da promoção e suporte de ditaduras militares amigas, sanguinárias e não menos corruptas, como na cantiga dos Jáfumega, "Do Paraguai a Porto Rico, Salvador ás Honduras, Da Bolívia à Guatemala, Argentina ao Chile", e a sentir na pele o que os europeus sentem há jà bastante tempo com as vagas intermináveis de migrantes e refugiados com origem na outra margem do Mediterrâneo, na sua grande maioria vítimas das guerras que os 'amaricanos' vieram inventar longe de portas por motivos geopolíticos e geoestratégicos que mudam com a mesma facilidade com que o vento muda, e até com a piedosa intenção de espalhar a democracia a todo o redor do país intervencionado, qual efeito dominó, pasme-se.

The Class of 1946–2018

por josé simões, em 30.10.18

Twenty-seven school-shooting survivors bear their scars, and bear witness.

On October 13, a group of hundreds of people gathered together to flee their impoverished home country of Honduras in a caravan headed toward the United States, seeking a better life for themselves and their families. That caravan quickly swelled to approximately 7,000 Central American immigrants as it passed north through Guatemala. As of today, most of these men, women, and children have just entered Mexico, yet they remain more than a thousand miles south of the U.S. border. President Donald Trump has called the approaching group a “national emergency,” vowed to cut tens of millions of dollars in aid to three Central American countries, and will possibly cancel a recent trade deal with Mexico if the caravan isn’t stopped before it reaches the U.S. Below, photographs of the caravan from its first 10 days and some of the difficult paths taken by those involved.

Dear Young People: “Don’t Vote”

por josé simões, em 28.09.18

The old white people of America have a message for the young adults of America: we’ll be dead soon but if you don’t vote, you’re letting us determine what kind of world you’ll live in.
