Above all I am a firm believer of the British system. Its not a matter of support, instead I consider the British establishment as an example to the rest of the world, not only because I recon must countries have to adopt some of British manners, but because Britain has really shaped much of what is good in the current world order: the rule of law, democracy, and tradition.

During these past weeks we’ve all seen the Murdoch scandal burst on screen. That’s great, I am appalled by what he did with News International, appalled to see how far he was willing to go in order to get stories, to sell toilet paper news papers. I recon the whole of the News Corp should collapse internationally, basically his morals were quite limited, his respect for human privacy and dignity were inexistent. It is of course a terrible moment for the Tory Prime Minister Cameron. But what’s great about Britain is that they don’t try to hide things, now that the news are out, this will continue to get bigger and bigger, and as big as necessary. I love it, I wish it would be like that where I come from.

In Latin America, normally we try to deny things, lie, lie, lie. I spot a clear difference; in here we are not straight forward about hardly anything, certainly not government issues. See how Chavez handles his illness, how the Castros handle everything in Cuba.

I wish we were a little British, especially when it comes to solving problems. Especially when it comes to speaking out the truth.

Now, back to Britain, of course I hope the worse for Rupert Murdoch, I never liked his newspapers; I profoundly dislike his business practices. David Cameron is in trouble, he is friends with this Brooks person, she has a lot of questions to answer, and so does Cameron.

But, once more, well done England I didn’t expect less from the BBC’s coverage on this story. I hope the whole of the British society vetoes what has occurred there so it never happens again.

Y ruedan más cabezas de dictadores

En estos momentos sigo la señal de Al Jazeera. Es impresionante ver como, en efecto, el análisis anterior fe acertado, hoy está a punto de caer el tirano de Libia.

Los libios, en situación desesperada, se van en carro, en burro, en lo que sea, huyen del pasado, huyen del presente, huyen porque no pueden más. Y ahoraaaaaaa.... a dónde vas Gaddaffi? dices que te quedarás hasta derramar la última gota, que bien, que empiece la carnicería.

Donde estuvieron los derechos humanos durante tunefasto reinado?, por qué ha de resétarsete la vida a ti? si no valoras a los demás, a sus criterios, si te crees el mártir salvador?. Huye cobarde Gaddaffi, en lugar de lanzar proyectiles, bombas, en lugar de agredir a tu pueblo. Ándate, corre, desaparece.

Pero, NOOOOOO.... morir así, derramando la última gota de sangre sería darte demasiado. Mereces cárcel, mereces procesos judiciales, que se te juzgue. Hay que defender el estado de decho, aquí allá, en todos lados. Es definitivamente la hora de la democracia y de las liberaciones.

Vamos mundo, vamos hacia la liberación de los pueblos, vamos hacia la independencia de las naciones, de los estados y vamos tras la cabeza de todos los dictadores. Pero a ponerlos tras las rejas, a enjuiciarlos.

No nos olvidamos de Mugabe, ja ja ja, te llegará Mugabe, te llegará la hora. Y vamos a empezar a contar las cabezas de dictadores que empiezan a rodar.

Así queeee autoritarios jefes de Estado o de gobierno que se hayan perpetrado en el poder más de la cuenta, que vayan más de diez años...., que se crean indestructibles, que se crean semi dioses, va a ser linda linda su caía, ahí estaremos celebrando. Al que le calce el guanteeee.... que se lo chante.

Es la hora de la libertad

Varias etapas ha vivido la historia de humanidad, la llegada de la democracia siempre fue una amenaza para aquellos que creyeron que sus ideas son la únicas válidas, las únicas perfectas, las únicas totales. Así un buen día rodó la cabeza de una reina en Francia, el imperio británico fue derrotado por un grupo de rebeldes que después construyeron otro imperio, mientras la América bolivariana consiguió la liberación de la corona española. Ha sido un proceso de liberación que, como efecto dominó, se propagó hacia distintas latitudes.

¿Quién hubiera pensado que los intocables del siglo XXI sean tocados?, ¿quién hubiera pensado que el omnipotente gobernante de Túnez sea derrotado por la ira ciudadana?. Y, por su puesto, ¿quién hubiera pensado que el intocable Sr. Mubarak haya sido derrocado por el pueblo que se rebeló sin dar tregua?.

Es definitivamente una nueva era la que hemos inaugurado en unos hermosos enero y febrero del año 2011. Ahora, ¿quién será el próximo?. Los que sabemos deben estar ya aterrados, hay algunos, son sanguinarios, otros son solapados.

Unos ejercen el poder en nombre de la izquierda, otros en nombre de la derecha, otros en nombre de Alá, otros en nombre de cualquier cosa. Pero ¿que dirá en estos momentos el Sr. Robert Mugabe sobre lo que le ocurrió a Mubarak?. ¿Qué tendrán que decir los señores que conforman la junta de Mianmar?, ¿el Sr. que preside el gobierno en Corea del Norte?. Hay otros y otras, vamos omitir sus nombres porque sus pueblos bien los conocen. Los razgos: culto a la personalidad, algunos incluso osan en decir que han ganado constantemente las elecciones (claro, las que ellos mismos arreglan, con sus monolíticos y monopólicos sistemas), porque ellos son y siempre serán los únicos que tengan las mejores ideas, nadie más puede liderar, hablar, sugerir, criticar.

Bueno, les tengo malas noticias señores dictadores: ¿creyeron que siempre reinarían? ¿Creyeron que sus mentiras dichas mil veces se convertirían en verdad?. Pues… tiembla Mugabe, porque el Internet ahora le va a facilitar a la gente enterarse de lo que pasa en Egipto, es posible que ni todos tus matones, ni tus armas, ni tus mentiras, ni tu dictadura disfrazada de democracia duren más. Tiembla ahora, tiembla mucho, ellos te alcanzarán, a ti y a todos los cobardes dictadores intolerantes.

Tiemblen, huyan, porque ya les llega la hora. Ábranse cuentas en Suiza, en las Islas Caymán, disfruten de sus corruptos yates y mansiones. Pero sus pueblos van a hacerles entender que deben dejarlos en paz.

¿Quién será el próximo? Yo le voy a Yemen

Pretty much looks like Labour is over

2010-04-06T18:56:00.001-05:00

It's been quite some time since Tony Blair took over as head of government in the UK. Those old days when the Queen first met a young and aparently-innocent guy are over, of course Labour is indeed an old fashion now. It is actuallly rotted and rusty. These words don't mean to cause harm, bu it is obvious that it's time for change and renewal.

It's the Irak war, the financial crisis, this and that. Not necessary the Tories will do a better government, it's not like they know the secret way out from the crisis for Britain.

Neither it is going to change the way Britain relates with the ridiculous European Union. If only a miracle could save Gordon Brown's job, then it requires a huge one to make the difference between the conservatives and Labour. And it doesn't look like Nigel Farage is going to become Prime Minister any time soon.

So as a conclusion of mine: nothing will really change, Britain will continue to give into the EU and melt. It won't be different unless real change arrives.

Disappointment

2009-10-29T23:08:00.000-05:00

I can see Barroso’s face, he shines. Nothing can be more annoying in this world than that.

Looks like they’ve won, yes indeed they have. I can’t believe even the Irish have sold their souls to the big monster (The EU). Greed is unstoppable, the Czechs have agreed to sign the bloody Lisbon Treaty.

Now What?
What’s next?

Well they must elect a president, it looks like critics such us ‘Private Eye” were not so wrong after all when they drew Blair as a puppet wanting to be called President. He might be president after all. It doesn’t really matter if it is President Blair or President Fritz, the damage is already done.

There will be a United States of Europe. Churchill’s Orwellian nightmare is on now. Rolling, as the darkest of Quenting Tarantino films.

Yes the reservoir dogs are out…. Careful World.

What do we expect now?

NEO CLONIZATION, AT ITS PUREST.

The citizens of the free world have lost, long live the Big Monster, its alive joyful and greedier than ever. Sad, sad days coming.

I am too, extremely delighted.

I am now distant from Britain. Although I still care for what happens to Britain and inside Britain.

This last election has been one of the most joyful moments I have seen in British politics since I remember. The major achievement was to speak out loud to beaurocrats in Brussels and to those in Westminster with a clear message: |” who the hell told you we went more Europe, who the hell told you we want to give up being British, who the hell told you we agreed with the stupid masked European constitution”.

The greed from politicians whose conscience has been sold to Brussels and whose lack of independence and dignity has no limits has taken the BNP and UKIP up in the polls and up in the votes.

I imagine now people like Jeremy Clarkson are indeed quite happy just as I am. With such despise for the continentals, as the one I experience this can’t be anything else but a bright and glorious day.

I have not changed the way I feel about Britain in Europe, and Europe in the World.

Well done British public, I was starting to think you had given in to the stupid United Status of Europe.

Long live British pubs, the British way.

Greetings to Britain.

Ha ha ha. You lost Barroso

2008-06-13T18:56:00.004-05:00

Today Ireland has voted NO for the masked EU constitution, I rejoice, I simply can't find words enough to express how happy I am for the welfare of the world of Europe and the stability of a group nations that enclose such immense richnesses in culture. I like Europe in its parts not in a whole faky mask of absurd bureaucracy.

It was about time to stop these group of greedy bureaucrats, it was about time to tell them what other counties so much want to yell.

And, oh, how dissponig the British attitude, SO TWO SIDED. It seems like the England of Vera Lyn has faded and sold its dignity to a flag of yellow stars and blue instead of sticking to the heroic Union Jack. Big shame on you England, big shame.

It seem that Jeremy Clarkson's complains were not enough at all, neither were the adverts of the UKIP and the worthy attitude of Nigel Farage.

Learn from the Irish Britons, they have shown you a lesson of dignity you haven't had the courage of giving yourselves.

Long live the dignity of the Republic of Ireland, long live the beautiful NOOOOO.

Victory at all costs!!!!!!

Matemático demente fallece trágicamente.

2008-01-19T13:20:00.000-05:00

El conocido matemático Juan José Illingworth falleció hoy tras masivo baile del chulla quiteño en plena 9 de octubre en la ciudad de Guayaquil. El académico, entre sus obras más importantes, tuvo la retirada del nombre de la calle Pichincha en el centro del Puerto Principal, además de haber quemado banderas de Quito durante una marcha a favor del ex banquero Fernando Aspiazu en 1999.

Illingworth, al ver la manifestación masiva con un claro mensaje de unidad nacional, alcanzó a exclamar la frase "Guayaquil Independiente", mientas sus últimas palabras fueron "he arado en el mar”. Así lo informó la familia del activista político que durante toda su vida repudió a la capital de la república, y según sus médicos falleció tras un fulminante infarto.

And Tony Blair goes

2007-06-18T07:23:00.000-05:00

As a foreigner, I see Tony Blair from distance... I tend to say to myself. Truth is that I cannot remember much more than him from Britain, only blurry images of a silver haired John Major. By then I had no concern about Britain.

When I turned 21, I departed from Quito to London to live in southwest England for a year, after that, I fell in love with an English girl and Britain has been part of my life. In Britain I was introduced to the "third way" and what Tony Blair meant for the Labor Party. It happened to be that he is a left wing guy with a mixed economy perspective, instead of a backwards state-basted socialists view of the world.

Some aspects of this so-called "third way" turned out right for Britain, some of them seemed a disaster. The NHS seemed quite efficient for me, although I heard it was suggested it should have private involvement, for me that sounded a bit like a bad idea.

But in addition to all this uninteresting facts I am mentioning, I could witness how Britain is on gear, with a powerful economy and a decent welfare state, absent in other countries in the world.

Blair's legacy is marked by saying that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, which turned out to be a lie. I sincerely think nobody will ever forget that inside or outside the UK. But Blair is much more that just his lies on Irak, he is in fact a quite charismatic leader who has led Britain well.

As I now visit England frecuently, I must confess that many countries in the world would really like to have Tony as a leader, and to enjoy the UK's wealth.
