El muerto K

Representó lo peor de la Argentina, el resentimiento, la soberbia, la prepotencia, los negocios turbios con empresarios turbios, el enriquecimiento ilícito,los ataques permanentes a las tradiciones y a la religion de los argentinos, la destrucción sistematica de las instituciones, la venganza, los golpes bajos, la alianza con los peores elementos de la sociedad ...me alegra que este capitulo se haya cerrado, pero no hay que bajar los brazos y recordar la frase de Brecht.

...

Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men. For though the world has stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again. Bertold Brecht

De otros medios:

"La Argentina padeció a lo largo del siglo XX, y sobre todo a partir de
1930, año del golpe fascista –en sentido estricto– del general Uriburu,
gobiernos que pueden contarse entre los peores de Occidente para
sorpresa de propios y extraños, que nunca entendieron –entendimos– cómo
aquello era posible en un país culto, con la tasa de analfabetismo más
baja del mundo y con una librería en cada esquina de las grandes
ciudades. Pero de todos los que padeció, excepción hecha del período de
las juntas militares, el de este hombre que acaba de morir lleno de oro
y odio fue el peor.

Ni merece un análisis sociológico más allá de la estructura del poder. Se resume en delincuencia sindical y policial, reivindicación de un terrorismo en el cual ni siquiera había tenido el valor de militar, podredumbre ideológica, financiera y moral, y un autoritarismo que hizo perder sentido a la palabra democracia.

Chávez se explica por su rostro de animal vengativo –es un tiranuelo de los que profetizó Bolívar, "de todos los colores y razas"–. Kirchner, descendiente de croatas, era simplemente un hombre feo y desesperadamente codicioso –su viuda y presidente rinde idéntico tributo a la codicia– en el que costaba imaginar las raíces del odio, pero rebosaba de él, un odio generalizado a su país y sus paisanos."
--- Horacio Vázquez-Rial

The UN

Excelent posting by our blog-friend the Monarchist quoting Gerald Warner at the Telegraph:

Gerald Warner, where art thou?

I've no idea where The Much Honoured the Laird of Craigenmaddie has gotten to these past few weeks, but I miss him dearly. No one, it seems, is better equipped at encapsulating the ills of our time than he:


"The EU and the UN are working to establish a monocultural world government. Its malign culture is one of population control, secularism, relativist morality, materialism, self-conscious modernity, equality of all under the benign rule of the totally unequal governing elite. It promotes the New Man: cellophane-wrapped, emasculated by health and safety, dedicated to extending his meaningless and despiritualised existence by medical improvements, inhabiting cities rendered anonymous by globalised architecture and the ubiquity of international corporations.

The intolerable antithesis of that Utopian future is any society that values tradition, that clings to custom, that engages in virile activities such as hunting or bullfighting, that serves God rather than Mammon. The free spirit who owns a gun, cherishes wildernesses not yet tamed into heavily sign-posted heritage parks, practises Christianity in the manner of his forefathers, respects animals as part of creation but would never equate their status with human beings – such men are a hostile spectre haunting the social engineers charting our global future. They must be eliminated, and useful idiots in politically correct parliamentary assemblies are the instruments of that purge."

Fútbol y Política

"Football (il calcio) has constantly mirrored the political circumstances of Italy and has been regarded as a legitimate arena for activism by political actors across the spectrum: Mussolini’s PNF (Partito Nazionale Fascista), liberals, pro-catholic, and right and left organizations have all valued the game as a tool for their proselytizing (Agnew, 2006, Foot, 2006 Ginsborg, 2001; Martin, 2004, Porro, 1992). Political careers run synonymously with positions within football clubs."
