STACI

Staci siempre estarás conmigo. Ese cobarde no te apartó de mí. Gata valiente y curiosa. Guerrillera del sueño.

Mi cómplice.

Mi maestra de katas. Donde quiera que estés estás conmigo. Nadie nos ha separado. En el antiguo Egipto quien mataba a un gato se jugaba la vida. Que se cuide aquel que intentó derrotarnos. Somos invencibles. Bastet nos protege. Hasta la victoria miau, miau...Viva  CAT & UÑA.

Desde Euskadi con amor.

Hola Vladimir. Aquí tienes dos caballos libres y felices en Euskadi. Bueno más que a tí mi post va dedicado a tu Chudesnaya moscovita.

Muerto el perro no se acabó la rabia.

Osama bin Laden’s Second Death

                                                         by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Paul Craig Roberts se refiere aquí al día 1 de abril que en algunos países anglosajones viene a ser algo así como la fecha para tomarle el pelo a la gente. La muerte de Osama bin Laden ha desencadenado todo tipo de hipótesis, versiones y cábalas. Entre ellas no faltan las teorías conspiratorias. El momento de un deceso largamente buscado le viene como anillo al dedo al presidente Obama. Craig Roberts se pregunta cómo un hombre con una salud tan deteriorada pudo sobrevivir en  montañas y desiertos donde resulta muy dudoso el funcionamiento de un equipo de diálisis. ¿Qué impidió que no lo eliminaran en 10 años?. Bin Laden era al morir tan millonario como lo fué en vida. ¿No podían trazar su dinero?.Y sobre las presuntas armas de destrucción masiva, mejor cubrir un tupido velo. Da como que verguenza ajena.

If today were April 1 and not May 2, we could dismiss as an April fool’s joke this morning’s headline that Osama bin Laden was killed in a firefight in Pakistan and quickly buried at sea. As it is, we must take it as more evidence that the US government has unlimited belief in the gullibility of Americans.


Think about it. What are the chances that a person allegedly suffering from kidney disease and requiring dialysis and, in addition, afflicted with diabetes and low blood pressure, survived in mountain hideaways for a decade?

If bin Laden was able to acquire dialysis equipment and medical care that his condition required, would not the shipment of dialysis equipment point to his location? Why did it take ten years to find him?

Consider also the claims, repeated by a triumphalist US media celebrating bin Laden’s death, that “bin Laden used his millions to bankroll terrorist training camps in Sudan, the Philippines, and Afghanistan, sending ‘holy warriors’ to foment revolution and fight with fundamentalist Muslim forces across North Africa, in Chechnya, Tajikistan and Bosnia.” That’s a lot of activity for mere millions to bankroll (perhaps the US should have put him in charge of the Pentagon), but the main question is: how was bin Laden able to move his money about? What banking system was helping him? The US government succeeds in seizing the assets of people and of entire countries, Libya being the most recent.

Why not bin Laden’s? Was he carrying around with him $100 million dollars in gold coins and sending emissaries to distribute payments to his far-flung operations?

This morning’s headline has the odor of a staged event. The smell reeks from the triumphalist news reports loaded with exaggerations, from celebrants waving flags and chanting “USA USA.” Could something else be going on?

No doubt President Obama is in desperate need of a victory. He committed the fool’s error or restarting the war in Afghanistan, and now after a decade of fighting the US faces stalemate, if not defeat.

The wars of the Bush/Obama regimes have bankrupted the US, leaving huge deficits and a declining dollar in their wake. And re-election time is approaching.

The various lies and deceptions, such as “weapons of mass destruction,” of the last several administrations had terrible consequences for the US and the world. But not all deceptions are the same. Remember, the entire reason for invading Afghanistan in the first place was to get bin Laden. Now that President Obama has declared bin Laden to have been shot in the head by US special forces operating in an independent country and buried at sea, there is no reason for continuing the war.

Perhaps the precipitous decline in the US dollar in foreign exchange markets has forced some real budget reductions, which can only come from stopping the open-ended wars. Until the decline of the dollar reached the breaking point, Osama bin Laden, who many experts believe to have been dead for years, was a useful bogyman to use to feed the profits of the US military/security complex.

Viva Cataluña

Hoy  3 de mayo era la fiesta mayor de Figueres. La fiesta es en torno a la cruz de Cristo. He disfrutado mucho. Había una feria de libros viejos. Cruces hechas con flores. Fuí a la celebracióm religiosa católica que celebra la cruz como símbolo de victoria sobre la muerte. De resurección gloriosa. El órgano resonó en una iglesia románica bellísima. También florida.

Pero lo que más me gustó fue la actuación de la "colla" que hizo una torre andante coronada por una bella niña de unos dos o tres años. Luego esa catalana pequeñita se zampó un helado de chocolate. Y naturalmente se embadurnó toda la cara.


Vladímir que es muy majo y yo felicitamos a la madre y le pedimos su autorización para hacerle una foto a su hija que para mí fue lo mejor de una jornada gloriosa. (La noche anterior estuve bailando hasta pasada la una).




La niña que coronó el castell andante zampándose su helado.



Oficial de la Guardia Civil con tricornio

Ah se me olvidaba, cuando íbamos siguiendo a la colla acertamos a colocarnos junto a las autoridades militares, vestidos para la ocasión, con guantes, tricornios, y demás adornos. Mi amigo ruso se puso a hacerles fotos. Sentí cierta vergüenza ajena. Pero así es la ignorancia. Cosas de guiris.


Viva Cataluña. La fiesta sigue así que os seguiré contando.

Mataron a Osama pero, ¿por qué no lo hicieron antes?

Osama Bin Laden Is Dead ... But Why Didn't We Kill Him 10 Years Ago?
by Washington's Blog
Global Research, May 2, 2011

Introducción
Al parecer Osama bin Laden estuvo en más de una ocasión a  "tiro" de las fuerzas de EEUU. Por ejemplo, en diciembre de 2001. Con todos los recursos tecnológicos para seguir sus movimientos. ¿Por qué no lo liquidaron antes?.

Washington's Blog
President Obama announced tonight that U.S. special forces killed Osama Bin Laden.
That's great ... but we could have killed him years ago.
As I noted in 2009:
According to the U.S. Senate - Bin Laden was "within the grasp" of the U.S. military in Afghanistan in December 2001. But that then-secretary of defense Rumsfeld refused to provide the soldiers necessary to capture him.

This is not news: it was disclosed in 2005 by the CIA field commander for the area in Afghanistan where Bin Laden was holed up.

In addition, French soldiers allegedly say that they easily could have captured or killed Bin Laden in Afghanistan, but that the American commanders stopped them.

A retired Colonel and Fox News military analyst said that the U.S. could have killed Bin Laden in 2007, but didn't:

"We know, with a 70 percent level of certainty — which is huge in the world of intelligence — that in August of 2007, bin Laden was in a convoy headed south from Tora Bora.

We had his butt, on camera, on satellite. We were listening to his conversations.

We had the world’s best hunters/killers — Seal Team 6 — nearby.

We had the world class Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) coordinating with the CIA and other agencies.

We had unmanned drones overhead with missiles on their wings. 

We had the best Air Force on the planet, begging to drop one on the terrorist.

We had him in our sights; we had done it. Unbelievably, and in my opinion, criminally, we did not kill Osama bin Laden".

Indeed, a United States Congressman claims that the Bush administration intentionally let Bin Laden escape in order to justify the Iraq war.

Similarly, Cenk Uygur pointed out:

The New York Times reported : "that we sent in 36 U.S. Special Forces troops to get Osama bin Laden when we knew he was in Tora Bora".

By contrast, we sent nearly 150,000 soldiers to get Saddam Hussein. In case you're keeping count at home, we got Saddam and we didn't get Osama. What does that tell you about this administration’s priorities?

This goes beyond incompetence. If you send only 36 soldiers to get somebody in the middle of Afghanistan, it means you don’t want to get him...

Osama had about 1,500-2,000 well-armed, well-trained men in the region. 36 guys to get 2,000? Why would we let ourselves be outgunned like that?...

There is an inescapable fact – if you put this little effort into capturing someone, it means you don’t want to capture him.

If people inside the administration actually held back from capturing Osama bin Laden when we had him cornered, it borders on treason.

Postscript: Of course, some people claim that Bin Laden was actually killed years ago. But as I pointed out in 2009, whether or not he was alive or dead was less important than the fact that the American government pretended that he was a supremely powerful boogeyman who justified an endless and all-consuming war on terror:

Many people claim that Bin Laden died a long time ago. According to Israeli intelligence, Pakistani intelligence, and other sources, Bin Laden is dead.

According to video experts and and top Bin Laden experts, recent Bin Laden videos are fake.

So if Bin Laden is alive, American leaders have to explain why they have repeatedly chosen not to pull the trigger.

And if he is dead, they have to explain why they are claiming that he's alive and authenticating his videos.

"Se ha hecho justicia", dice el presidente Obama

Muy solemne. Sin contraer un músculo facial (y también algo envarado), el presidente de los Estados Unidos Barak Obama no dudó en dirigirse a la nación bien entrada la noche.

Estaba más que justificado.

Los esfuerzos combinados de distintas agencias de inteligencia estadounidenses, entre ellas la CIA y las militares y de seguridad, habían logrado, después de 10 años, localizar el paradero exacto del enemigo número 1 de América.

Nada de cuevas o escondites subterráneos. Osama bin Laden habitaba en una mansión fortaleza en un barrio exclusivo.

En 40 minutos un comando de élite logró penetrar el recinto fortificado desde un helicóptero y liquidar a todos los ocupantes que allí se encontraban.

Un vecino chismoso se percató de tan inusual presencia aérea escuchó las detonaciones y empezó a "tuitiar" lo que en un principio le resultó muy divertido.

Hubo resistencia  pero Osama bin Laden cayó muerto de un tiro en la cabeza. No sufrió.

Se dice que su cuerpo fue arrojado al mar, en contra del rito funerario islámico.

"Se ha hecho justicia", resumió el presidente Barak Obama.

Con esa especial manía que tengo de ir a los lugares menos indicados en  momentos nada propicios, el 11/S  yo estaba en Gastonia, Carolina del Norte.

Cerca de 2 centrales nucleares, de un importante enclave  militar y para más inri, a medio camino de Charlotte.

Cuando el 11/S todos en Estados Unidos derramamos lágrimas de rabia, ondeamos banderas, salimos a la calle gritando consignas espontáneas, muchos rezaron.  Por primera vez Estados Unidos conocía la guerra en su suelo.

Toda América reaccionó con gran valor. Éramos una piña.

No dejamos de asistir a clases. Ni siquiera el día de los ataques se interrupieron las actividades docentes. Seguimos adelante. Había que hacerlo. Junto al heroismo de los bomberos y policías de NY, lo nuestro era el día a día.

Nuestra prioridad era proteger a los alumnos. Existía un plan de evacuación.

Recuerdo con especial admiración a dos de los más gamberros de mis clases, dos demonios que ponían a prueba mi paciencia.

Dos raperos de pro, callejeros y duros.

Tan listos que en medio del caos del momento urdieron  unos chistes guarros contra a Osama bin Laden  que no puedo reproducir aquí por lo mojigata que se ha vuelto la red.

Se les ocurrió vender unas camisetas en las que Osama aparecía como "camello". Arrasaron con ellas.

En America hoy es casi festivo.

Tal vez sea un buen momento para empezar el camino de la paz. (Aunque muerto el perro no se acabó la rabia).

Presidente Obama do the right thing. Stop the wars. Bring our soldiers back. Yes you can. You have a dream.

God bless you.

God bless America.
