Chica/chico y tiarrón uniformado
Desmadre festivo en el txupinazo Gora Iruña
Me he abstenido de colgar la secuencia siguiente de la presente imagen perteneciente a theblog.es ya que codondesastre.blogspot.com tiene numerosas visitas de USA, y ya saben cómo de pacatos son por esos lares. Las chicas terminan mostrando sus pechos entre el alborozo generalizado. Luego otras se animaron y la cosa se puso realmente divertida. GoraSan Fermín y que se jodan las feas.

Muerte de aves y abejas en América
Death of the Birds and the Bees Across America
By F. William Engdahl

La presencia de aves e insectos puede ser un indicador de la salud del medio ambiente. Cuando desaparecen puede indicar una alteración en el ecosistema. El artículo de Engdahl versa sobre dicho fenómeno. Si están interesados consulten la URL señalada.

Birds and bees are something most of us take for granted as part of nature. The expression “teaching about the birds and the bees” to explain the process of human reproduction to young people is not an accidental expression. Bees and birds contribute to the essence of life on our planet. A study by the US Department of Agriculture estimated that “...perhaps one-third of our total diet is dependent, directly or indirectly, upon insect-pollinated plants.”1
The honey bee, Apis mellifera, is the most important pollinator of agricultural crops. Honey bees pollinate over 70 out of 100 crops that in turn provide 90% of the world's food. They pollinate most fruits and vegetables--including apples, oranges, strawberries, onions and carrots.2 But while managed honey bee populations have increased over the last 50 years, bee colony populations have decreased significantly in many European and North American nations. Simultaneously, crops that are dependent on insects for pollination have increased. The phenomenon has received the curious designation of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), implying it could be caused by any number of factors. Serious recent scientific studies however point to a major cause: use of new highly toxic systemic pesticides in agriculture since about 2004.
If governments in the EU, USA and other countries fail to impose a total ban on certain chemical insecticides, not only could bees become a thing of the past. The human species could face staggering new challenges merely to survive. The immediate threat comes from the widespread proliferation of commercial insecticides containing the highly-toxic chemical with the improbable name, neonicotinoids. Neonicotinoids are a group of insecticides chemically similar to nicotine. They act on the central nervous system of insects. But also on bees and small song birds. Recent evidence suggests they could also affect human brain development in newborn.
Some five to six years back, reports began to circulate from around the world, especially out of the United States, and then increasingly from around the EU, especially in the UK, that entire bee colonies were disappearing. Since 2004 over a million beehives have died across the United States and beekeepers in 25 states report what is called Colony Collapse Disorder. In winter of 2009 an estimated one fifth of bee hives in the UK were lost, double the natural rate.3 Government authorities claimed it was a mystery.
And in the USA a fact sheet from the Environmenrtal Protection Agency (EPA) on Bayer AG’s Clothianidin, a widely used neonicotinoid, warned:
“Available data indicate that clothianidin on corn and canola should result in minimal acute toxic risk to birds. However, assessments show that exposure to treated seeds through ingestion may result in chronic toxic risk to non-endangered and endangered small birds (e.g., songbirds) and acute/chronic toxicity risk to non-endangered and endangered mammals.”4

¡ Gora Sanferminak ¡
Estoy de Sanferminak, lo que quiere decir de fiesta total, con cuerpo de jota. Me he puesto una camiseta de años anteriores, pero muy aparente: parece que tuviera una herida sangrante en torax y abdómen, como resultado de una buena cogida. Tengo en la mínima mochila otra camiseta de Kukusumuso, marca vasca que recomiendo por su gracia transgresora y fresca (no me han untado para que lo diga). Ya me he regalado con un opíparo desayuno de chocolate espeso y caliente. Ligué la hebra con unas señoras bien de Pamplona y resulta ser que una era Goikoetxea, como mi abuelo. Aquí das una patada a una piedra y salta un Goikoetxea, que se traduce del euskera como "casa de arriba". No es una pretención clasista, aunque la "etxea" de los "Goiko" tiene su bonito blasón con un grifo y un jabalí. La cuenta atrás para el "txupinazo" ya ha empezado. Y por supuesto he cumplido con el ritual de pasar por los corrales para admirar los astados de Dolores Aguirre. Me gusta una fiesta que cada quien vive como le da su real gana. Donde nadie es extranjero. Dicen que San Fermín era un santo de la era del imperio romano y que su prédica del evangelio irritó tanto a los poderosos que murió degollado después de horribles torturas. El "capotico" de del Santo ampara a los mozos que corren con los toros. Que el querido San Fermín nos proteja a todos por igual frente a la adversidad.

Detenidos los chorizos del Códice Calixtino.
Y anda que no tenemos ejemplos de chorizos. Por un tubo, vamos. Lo ideal sería que la familia feliz cantara hasta la Traviata si es menester, a fin de recobrar para todos los españoles la que es posiblemente la primera guía de viaje del Camino de Santiago. Quienes, presuntamente, perpetraron tal delito resultan al fin y al cabo unos grandísimos tontos del culo. Unos verdaderos pringaos, pero pueden conducir a la policía hacia quien retiene en la actualidad una joya del románico que ni siquiera estaba asegurada.(Otra graciosa barbaridad). Si colaboran con la investigación desde luego que merecen cierta clemencia. ¿No se dice que todos somos iguales ante la ley?. Pues eso, que se los traten con el mismo mimo que reciben, por ejemplo, ciertos banqueros sinvergüenzas.

Hoteles de lujo: una dudosa ayuda humanitaria a Haití
HAITI: Humanitarian Aid for Earthquake Victims Used to Build Five Star Hotels
By Julie Lévesque
URL of this article: www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=31646
Mientras unos 500 000 haitianos todavía viven en campos de refugiados, se construyen cinco hoteles de 5 estrellas. Entre ellos el Royal Oasis del grupo haitiano SCIOP y que será gestionado por la empresa española Occidental Hotels & Resorts. ¿Contribuirán tales inversiones a paliar la miseria del país caribeño?. El artículo de Julie Lévesque ofrece elementos de juicio.
As some 500 000 Haitians still live in displaced camps, five star hotels are being built amid shanty towns.
As part of the country's "Reconstruction", The Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund recently invested $2 million in the Royal Oasis Hotel, a deluxe structure to be built in a poverty-stricken metropolitan area "filled with displaced-persons camps housing hundreds of thousands”. Royal Oasis belongs to a Haitian investment group (SCIOP SA) and will be managed by the Spanish chain Occidental Hotels & Resorts.
AP reported in April that funds raised by the former US Presidents to help the neediest Haitians are now being used to build a hotel for "rich foreigners" including tourists as well many foreign NGO "aid workers" currently in Haiti. (Daniel Trenton, AP: New hotels arise amid ruins in Haitian capital, Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, April 29, 2012)
It is worth noting that Western governments have insisted that aid money for Haiti be given to NGOs and foundations rather than to the Haitian government, which they consider to be "corrupt".
In the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake, people in the US, Canada and the EU, who made donations to those humanitarian organisations and NGOs did not realize that their contribution to Haiti's reconstruction would be channeled towards the building of five star hotels to house foreign businessmen. Their expectation was that the money would be used to provide food and housing for the Haitian people.

The Royal Oasis as well as other hotel projects totalling over $100 million are, according to AP, “raising hopes that thousands of [foreign] investors will soon fill their air-conditioned rooms looking to build factories and tourist infrastructure” (emphasis added)
The “10-story building [...] will include an art gallery, three restaurants, a commercial bank and high-end shops. Construction on the Royal Oasis began before the earthquake and is expected to finish by the end of the year.” The earthquake was therefore a blessing for the hotel promoter and contractors, bringing $2 million dollars originally raised to “go directly to supplying these material needs [food, water, shelter, first-aid supplies]” (see add below). Among the companies involved in the construction of the Royal Oasis two are Haitian, one is Canadian (Montreal) and the other American (Miami).
