Feeling film Vitalina Varela

 By Milton Lima

December – 3-12-22

 


I've wanted to write about a film for a few days now and today, precisely, that day has arrived. It is very true that time has passed since the last time I wrote. But also because when we lose our time of life, we also lose its grace. Earlier I was talking about politics, control, and forms of domination. Just as a reminder, you can read them here and here. At the same time cinema like literature makes me vice-versa of a lot of things.

Early on they spoke, but out of my ignorance, I couldn't really notice what they were talking about. They were walls and they were also streets. This is how the film begins and it takes us along a path in which step by step from childhood into each old age it returns again. The language is Portuguese, and the country is Portugal. When I looked face to face, it showed more others, since those who had colonized siblings, few or none of them spoke. I broke this silence. The relationship is as if our present had already passed. So, first and foremost, the film Vitalina Varela (2019) is about class struggle.

Why should we watch this film? Because we can learn about what life is about. Both you and I can see a woman being the protagonist of her own story. She directs and, at the same time, is the main actress.

Thank you a lot, Pedro Costa.

A sedução tecnológica

 

Milton Lima
Sociólogo
03-16-2022

Em busca da dignidade humana, o ser e a máquina, já estão lado a lado com a sedução. O tempo continua sendo sua extensão vazia de expressão, num destino de náusea artificial. Contudo, o que realmente importa é o objeto das coisas. Já tem algum tempo que eles a chamam de revolução. De início ela vinha como palavra cruzada e caçada pela própria extinção, mas hoje é elevada para 4ª dimensão – enquanto isso revolução industrial.

O tema é quente e a floresta vigiada por satélite também vê a sedução. Entre o aquecimento e a mudança, a tecnologia tem sua sedução pautada no futuro de uma agenda que era 21, mas agora passou a revelar um apocalipse vindo da escolha, de tragédia ou esperança, assim legada a outra agenda para o ano de 2030.  

Parece tudo tão bonito. E a dignidade humana será proposta por uma renda mínima global? Será pautada pela frase do WEF ‘não terá nada e assim será feliz em 2030’, é isso mesmo? Que sedução, não?

A sedução tecnológica é tampouco sua sobrevivência humana, é tampouco sua importância na terra. A sedução tecnológica, embora não trate o sintoma da caça à palavra, que retrata a tragédia ou a esperança, sobre elas, humanidade ou morte? Parece que a resposta já foi dada. Nano daqui, Spike dali, novo normal acolá e de cá? Por o que ainda se luta? Diria o sábio que o fim do jogo nada mais é que o reconhecimento da falha minimalista do apocalipse desta loucura sã da sedução tecnológica. Será a face da dignidade agora uma vergonha?

This is a thread from the inventory of the war in Ukraine

By Milton Lima - 03-13-2022

On this see also previously before and mechanism of geopolitical

If you have any debt to our current community, say it now or forever hold your peace. As if it were possible that their policy could be truly sincere. So as a sample let's see what Soros and the WEF elite will say about our protection in their project the new reset - or new normal.

It seems to me that at this time the great need of humanity is infinite to understand its own truth. Look at you who is not the one who says, but who has the right to say what is true or false? Would a climate change be a lie or a truth? What science serves human dignity? My distrust is total when someone wants to tell me about the future. That is, when perhaps their domination is by the conquest of territory with water, with forest, and when NGOs silently become part of our education. My distrust is total, so I would ask if they can really want localised sovereignty in this country? What do you know?

Humanity may lose face if nothing is done. Because it seems that this plan already has a family and this has happened again. Keep it up for the bonds that go from bomb to bomb creating ideology to keep power in families forever. The great reset was programmed and the pandemic only helps your idea to fix a new world and a new normal. To dream with them and the elite is to turn our world into a technocrat world. That since Brzinzeski UK and the US the head and central bank head of the BIS or Basel has this sympathy in its aim. A single currency is also a dream for them. Try to follow who really gains from it? With such a war, what we have looks like a scandal.  

Can't I say that Russia, China, Brazil and India could be sovereign countries and as powerful as these Anglosaxon empires? Would London, Washington and Jerusalem, Zionists and neoconservatives, be willing to respect peace with sovereign nations? What do you expect? The truth or the lie?

The debts that this family plan has created since Bretton Woods have left countries in misery. Their policy is one of reprisal for all those who do not follow the current order of the dollar. We can never forget September 11 and the hunt for those responsible, does anyone believe that this same elite is not trying to find a culprit for the pandemic? Or is the pandemic itself part of this new technocratic world order of agenda 2030? Real Politik and Real Politik - or cui bono ? or see sanctions.

Here and here, see how there are many things hidden behind this war. And between truths and truths, see also here and here, again we will see migratory crises, economic crises, poverty and deaths. Debt and more debt for the usual poor, and of course war and peace over the mistrust of truth and lies.

A escrita de uma vida positiva

 

Milton Lima
Sociólogo
03-09-2022

A esperança urge um mundo melhor. Agora também há de se reconhecer que a palavra esperança, no anseio deste mundo da pós-verdade, tem sido muito machucada em seu esperar. Entendendo o cenário que me exponho ao ridículo de acreditar em um mundo melhor, e, porque não sob o risco de ser interpretado como romântico nele à beira da guerra, que eu longe do apocalipse prefiro o ter esperançoso, desde que, a positividade se sobressaia em vida.

A escrita de uma vida positiva traz no horizonte um conhecimento que busca sua verdade. A verdade que se limita numa busca constante, no presente e no passado, é também esquecida na velocidade imprimida do nosso tempo – que eu não o considero nem no espírito e nem no corpo como totalmente perdido.

Tampouco a esperança é percebida, logo ela é subjugada pelos números de momento, e o que não faltam para sua dissuasão é divergente para submeter esse combate contra a verdade. Mas o reino de mentira minimiza a esperança, e isso ocorre porque o estado de natureza se encontra no direito do outro (onde há quem o chame de liberdade, ao invés de utilidade) para dizer o que é certo, e o que é errado, sem que o ser esperançoso seja de fato, convidado a existir por ele próprio e desmentir o mundo fadado à miséria que assim o fora impresso.

Quando experimento pensar fora da caixa que tem nos condicionado no tempo, eu quero mergulhar no conceito – com muita discussão entre Platão e Aristóteles – próprio da filosofia que concebe a coisa do trabalho uma face da tragédia humana. Veja que aqui cabe o dinheiro, e agora a moeda digital. Mas para ficar na esperança como modo de produção de luta por um mundo melhor, eu prefiro convidar quem o leu a fazer assim como eu, mudar o olhar e a freqüência para luz que nos guiará para esse mundo melhor.

The EU is about to be sacrificed on the death knell of the dollar, part 1

Milton Lima
Sociologist
03/07/2022


It is clear that a series of war diaries are coming

In seven days

This second episode brings the latest events. Important news from Eurasian places like India helps for a world tour we will have to take. 

Formally those happenings are linked to a new paradigm, so that war is not only economic but also political.  

Well, when on February 24 Russia launched a special operation (see Putin's full speech) in Ukraine, it was not only the defence of the expansion zone that NATO together with the United States that Russia was defending but also its position for a multipolar paradigm. This was clear days earlier, in early February, when Putin and Xi unveiled a strategic economic and all-technology agreement under the umbrella of the new silk road. 

The climate has taken on a very dangerous scale. Because more than once President Putin has put his armed fleet on alert for the use of deterrence, which would be on the nuclear and atomic scale, against any outside interference. 

Over a week of the war, what was at all times being expected by Russians identified as a special operation to denazify and demilitarise the neo-Nazi regime supported by the United States since the 2014 coup inside Ukraine, happened through the Western media, which at all times showed Putin as an invader and spread the idea that his plan was to return with the former USSR.



From a special operation that would find several biological weapons laboratories on the border with Russia, and violence to Russian citizens in Ukraine, where over 14,000 civilian deaths have been counted since 2014, the solution was to recognise the independence of this Russian-speaking population, Donetsk and Lugansk. And to make the public aware of the role of the special operation. What happened was the opposite, and the tenor of total war came full steam ahead with declarations and sanctions. Not to mention the combination of fascism against all Russians in Europe, considering them to be ungrateful people, with persecution even of books by Russian authors.

This led to another once again very dangerous conflict. With the climate of total war and a lot of misinformation, several airlines have announced the cancellation of trips from Europe to Russia, until in the last few days the United States also made the same announcement. In addition to the ban on banking transactions, several companies have closed their businesses in Russia. A total war was started on the country by economic means. 

In recent days, Putin has launched a law to imprison people who transmit false news, and several measures, such as the retaliation of social media in the country, like Facebook that had already blocked news from the country, and also banned them from working in Russia. 

We remember what will say, Pam Martens and Russ Martens:

There is a known $41 billion in Credit Default Swaps (CDS) on Russian debt. There is likely many billions more in unknown amounts. There are also billions more in Credit Default Swaps on state-owned Russian corporate debt and non state-owned Russian corporate debt.

In addition to Wall Street not knowing which global banks and other financial institutions are on the hook to pay out on the Credit Default Swap protection they sold in case of a Russian sovereign debt default (or Russian corporate debt default), there is also approximately $100 billion of Russian sovereign debt (whose default is looking more and more likely) sitting on the balance sheets of foreign banks.

Silent in war

Milton Lima
Sociologist
03/04/2022
March

When my silence says nothing more, it is because our world has screamed. 

When I read the news about a war, I also read a silence within me. My heritage ( I knew it was searching) with dignity sought to understand why we forget this feeling of death. A war carries within it this real body and machine, in which no sense manifests itself. That is when it becomes just a thing. 

In this speech, a general would say that the value of victory itself would have no cost. It is not only about Ukraine, but also about refugees, famine, poverty, or has anyone forgotten Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen? Would those wars be justified? I agree with a writer who would have said that "barbarism has a human face". 

We live doing war, be it for territory, be it for money, be it for defence, and who pays with all that we know or don't know? The Indians? Who else?

Last but not least, this pandemic that made money out of it, again when the poor die, they insist on the version that it was a war, how long have they lied to us? With all this, I mainly prefer my silence. My conscience is at peace, I wonder if one day they will know it too.  

Silent and Peace.

Expolitic *Sphinx

 

Milton Lima
03-02-2022


Sphinx - March

Impenetrable. Whatever you want or whatever you want. That's a puzzle, that's something that goes into a real Sphinx. Here, to believe is to decode. The verbs in infinity justify, not for nothing, our freedom - and therefore a total mistrust of technological reality bequeaths as imagination an especially necessary formula. 

Da Vinci. Choosing the codes for the treatment of power has not been an easy task. Language, in general, is binary in the virtual world, 0 or 1, which could then by itself be justified as failure or success. Such a 0 would be nothing, and the 1 would be the first to arrive and conquer its power. The code here is expolitic. 

The aliens are here. This is not news. However, believe it depends very much on the imagination. As it depends on the belief in the world leader to bring good to humanity. If we live in conflict and the struggle for power has always been seen, what would lead us to believe that such peace would come to humanity. The game is deep and until we have the pieces to fit together, it will be difficult to understand what is happening now. 

This sphinx is still impenetrable. But, like all myths, it will be deciphered. As war knocks at the door of the imagination, humanity is moving towards nobody knows where. What presents itself is total control and it seems we are in the divided realm and families are always the same who arrive and stay in the binary place number 1. Number 0 has the chance of everything being confirmed as a lie and the classic statement is that. It is no 0 chance that there is an alien that messes with my mind daily, which I don't even know if it is human anymore. Between the number 0 and the number 1, I decided to pick nine to be born, which means another imagination, if you think about it, could be. I close with some thoughts on 2022. They say our reality will never be the same, they bring the goal as an ideal type close to Weber, ultra bureaucratic and supreme as the court of imagination. They are codes and it is up to us to decipher them. About who commands, it seems they are not the bosses of the land, it is still confusing to understand how and when it all fits together. But one thing becomes more and more certain, it is an expolitic who commands this place.

War diary my commitment is to the truth

Freedom of expression?

Will be?



To start with some harsh words, I would say that censorship in the Russian media environment like RT agency, Sputnik, inside the EU is totally against freedom. First of all, a reminder to my last post when I brought the timeline of what is not put in the media. So the war is also in the cyber field, where the media comes out in defence of its master. 

Well, what does the western media want if not to win the narrative that Russia is solely responsible for this war? So watch out for the warnings that will say Russia is attacking civilian people. Because it is a lie. 

Here is another text that the Western press will not present to you about the war in Ukraine. 

The United States does what it wants and nobody says anything. And their partners, what do they say? They say nothing. 

The United States, in previous years, supposedly to guarantee its interests and its security has done harsher things, thousands of kilometres from its national territory, without any authorisation from the UN Security Council. 

Yugoslavia was bombed, and on what pretext? With the authorisation of the UN Security Council? Where is Yugoslavia and where is the United States? They destroyed the country. Yes, there was an internal conflict, they had their own problems, but who gave them the right to attack a European capital? Nobody. They simply did it. Their allies kept quiet. 

Here is international law. 

On what pretext did the United States enter Iraq? Development of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. They went in, destroyed the country and created the space for international terrorism. They said our intelligence failed. That was the explanation. 

And what we have here, no weapons of mass destruction, nothing compared to that, on the contrary, the military bases were destroyed, as it should be. 

And how did they get into Syria? With the authorization of the Security Council? The United States does what it wants.

Translation of the video. President Putin.

A guerra na Ucrânia por trás do discurso hegemônico

Fonte: Die Welt


Milton Lima
Sociológo
02-26-2022


Jack Matlock: “O que precisa ser entendido é que a Rússia entende esses assuntos como problemas vitais de segurança nacional”.

No instante em que escrevo esse texto muita água tem rolado por de baixo da ponte. Antes de qualquer coisa o mundo inteiro está falando sobre a guerra na Ucrânia (alguém disse que é uma operação especial?), como também são muitas as opiniões contra a Rússia.

Sob o aspecto do discurso na mídia atual, os meios de comunicação têm fortes tendências por escolher um lado da história. Contudo, vale o questionamento: esse conflito entre Rússia e Ucrânia poderia ter sido evitado? A resposta é: sim. Mas tal pergunta não entra na pauta da grande mídia, e por isso, esse texto pode ajudar entender o que está em jogo nesta disputa de poder pela hegemonia.

Pretendo ser curto e grosso. Não se trata de defender a Rússia aqui. Trata-se de mostrar o porquê se desembocou esse conflito que vidas serão ceifadas e que ninguém da imprensa convencional trará um debate honesto do que está acontecendo. O que está em jogo é o controle da narrativa, e nesse sentido os Estados Unidos tem nadado de braçada no que tange a opinião pública. Afinal, se isso poderia ter sido evitado, então, por que não foi? É aqui que trago um mapa de hoje, de um jornal alemão, e alguns comentários também sobre o texto. 

Fonte: Die Welt



O texto traz a chamada “In einer ANDEREN WELT” Em outro mundo. E então destaca a fala da ministra de relações exteriores, Annalena Baernock (verdes), que está de preto, talvez querendo se despedir e dizer adeus. Assim começa ela, hoje despertamos em um mundo diferente. Isso aconteceu depois de meses de planejamento, de mentiras e propagandas, onde o Presidente Putin tomou sua decisão onde cumpriu com sua ameaça e invadiu à Ucrânia. A invasão russa traz o alerta para todas as nações da OTAN.

Vejamos que esse texto será lido pela população alemã neste final de semana. Claramente a posição condena a Rússia por ter invadido a Ucrânia. No entanto, essa narrativa já estava sendo implantada pela imprensa norte americana desde 3 de dezembro de 2021, quando o jornal Washington Post, publicou uma matéria dizendo sobre os planos russos de invasão. Aproximadamente um mês depois em 4 de fevereiro, o jornal New York Times, trouxe a chamada “Se Putin quiser guerra suas tropas estão prontas”. Veja a imagem abaixo:


Assim que tomamos contato com outra visão da história, esse debate pode ser mais interessante. Por exemplo, escutar o que o Presidente Putin disse assim que autorizou a operação. Assista ao vídeo abaixo: 


E como um exímio cientista social todo historiador deve preservar e indicar sua fonte, assim como todo cientista social deve trazer a discussão o que na análise de discurso chamamos de ideologia. Esse texto contém uma diversidade de links para que, cada um de nós, possa entender esse debate que é muito complexo. Recomendo a leitura completa deste link a qual deixo a citação e por fim outro texto do autor do mesmo autor. Cito o diplomata americano e professor da universidade de Duke, Jack Matlock em artigo na CNN Brasil:

Não se trata de dar à Rússia o direito de reclamar uma esfera de influência e sim de levar em consideração as possíveis consequências de insistir em incluir a Ucrânia na Otan e, em consequência, colocar a parceria militar na porta da Rússia.

Para o historiador e diplomata experiente, a Rússia argumenta que o discurso do respeito à soberania é usado apenas quando convém dadas as intervenções americanas em diferentes países. Basta falar do Iraque para não voltar demais na roda da história.

Mas ele diz que a Ucrânia só tem um caminho para se tornar um país unido e próspero: manter uma relação civil e relativamente próxima com a Rússia, dando a seus cidadãos de língua russa igualdade de direitos linguísticos e culturais. “Os amigos da Ucrânia na Europa e na América do Norte deveriam ajudá-la a entender isso ao invés de perseguir um caminho que pode muito bem se tornar uma rota suicida”.

O que penso de tudo isso? Vamos lá. Penso que todo país que se preze uma nação soberana deve defender seus interesses. Se vocês escutaram o presidente da Rússia, no vídeo acima, puderam perceber que houve diversas tentativas de acordo. Quando a Ucrânia através de seu governo é a favor da entrada do país na OTAN, isso oferece um perigo real à nação russa. Por isso insistiria a quem puder ler com atenção isso ninguém te contou sobre a Ucrânia. Mas tem algo econômico por trás disso tudo que explico e finalizo essa reflexão. 

Devido à parceria que Rússia e China firmaram no mês de fevereiro, tida por diversos analistas de geopolítica mundial, como o acordo do século XXI, isso envolvendo um projeto chamado, a nova rota da seda, que esse conflito se desenhava. Tanto os Estados Unidos (USA) quanto o Reino Unido (UK), através do sistema financeiro dominado pelos bancos mundiais dominavam o mundo. E todos que acompanham a política internacional têm conhecimento que a nova crise financeira está prestes a explodir desde 2018, o que se postergou com a crise da pandemia desde 2020. Isso posto, a iniciativa que enxerga um mundo multipolar que está sendo dirigida por China e Rússia, é algo que esse poder hegemônico não aceitou e nem aceitará sem uma guerra. A guerra começou com a tecnologia e se estendeu pelas sanções. Agora o que está em jogo é uma agenda. A escala desenhada pelos americanos está clara, o próximo alvo será a China, principalmente com uma aproximação dos americanos e ingleses com Taiwan. Dias sombrios para o cenário global. Por fim, gostaria de dizer que isso não termina aqui, espero que entendam que um império não dará seu bastão de graça e que as mortes por essa guerra têm assinatura, e bastam olhar o exemplo do Afeganistão.

 


Between heaven and hell: aliens in war

 

Milton Lima
Sociologist
02-26-2022

When we went back to the classics, we would meet Dante to see his account between heaven and hell. If we also went back to Cervantes, we would see both of them in search of a brilliant imaginary to know art. They were telling us about the human power to imagine another world. Between heaven and hell is also a way we think after the war to imagine what we will find. 

I said a few days ago that one had to go back to Günter Anders to understand about death. If we are too deeply involved in this story to take risks, then I invite you all to reflect between heaven and hell. 

Starting with great witnesses of the war. First, they may ask under our faith path, they may also go back on the old question if God exists, why is this happening on earth? Then all people look at this world with total mistrust. But who makes or has made wars, if not men themselves? Here is another possible question: would men have enough intelligence? Would there be an exopolitc behind all this?

There is a clear boundary between reality and fiction or you are either on the side of truth or lies. But where does such a change in this boundary actually take place? So we will work with hypothetical money would it be true or lie that war only became a fiction to control our reality. What would an ex-politician have with it? 

See it is only fiction. 

Common among us is the idea of heaven and hell. Our imagination is controlled by this narrative. When you are born into a technical environment where your life has such a choice, the question is what is your choice between heaven and hell? 

I imagine that within fiction we can go further, and ask: why would humans be exploring other planets? If at the moment as we are witnessing there is a war involving the world's two greatest armed powers, how could extraterrestrials help us? If they really existed, would you ask why they don't stop this war? Here comes the fictional surprise. 

We think that among us there are many powers, they are divided between heaven and hell, so they occupy places in the major powers and have already become hybrid beings. There in command, they know all the limits of the human mind, and there they say who survives and who says goodbye. So we have come to so many wars, and the question remains, who are we, humans or aliens? If we are divided would the new age that starts in 2024 be the limit for the great revelation that this war on earth is no longer human? Wait for the next episodes of life running to survive in the war between heaven and hell on earth.

Time charter


People around the world are hoping that a viable solution will happen now. So that means a lot to what the Schiller Institute brings us: "In light of the escalating Ukraine crisis, people around the world are urgently asking themselves and their political leaders where this is all going to end. Is this heading towards a very large, perhaps even thermonuclear, global confrontation? Are we facing reverse and more dangerous Cuban missile crisis? Will humanity really survive?".see here

Letter from time is a call to do differently, our world need not be a world of horror, war and violence, it can be a world of development of all nations and aiming at the highest human essence that resides in creativity.

Mechanism of geopolitical power

 

Milton Lima
Sociologist
02-23-2022

A) How have I been watching all the news about the war?

First I must invite you all to go back a few days. Specifically when it comes to talking about conflict of interest. The goal of this conversation is to understand all the power mechanisms at play here and there. Where there is smoke, there is fire. So the narrative and again the narrative we are given will address only one part of the pizza. Where do you live it has been common to hear that democracy is dead? So we come back to the ideology and the power of one part of this pizza. Remember that I made an invitation.  I, as a sociologist, have a keen interest in political science. So I have been reading some analysts who will say that the war is just beginning. As I noted, my view is that first of all there is a powerful mechanism here and there. There as the media must do everything to always tell the truth. Lies. Why is there no talk of a financial bubble close to bursting like a bomb? That the new reset is an agenda to be followed?  So we go back a few days. First with an ItalianFederico Dezzani researcher - who clearly deals with the dangers of war and danger dominant interests - and with Alastair Crooke researcher. 

As the authors treat, I also see many things hidden about the war. For Latin America, we will not have the focus only on Venezuela by the Americans, now for sure the focus will be on Argentina, it will not be a surprise if the Mercosur country goes into the rout once it has moved closer to China and Russia. Germany, as the signs indicate, has chosen the NATO side and cancelled its energy agreement with the Russians. The impact of this cancellation will be measured in the coming days. Although Turkey is little publicised, it seems that it too must take a stand soon on what is happening on the Russian borders and with the support of NATO and the EU, which side will Turkey take? Scenes from the next chapters. For those who understand Italian well, I recommend this work by Stefano see here, who has done daily analyses on geopolitics. See you soon.

Immigration is an important discussion today (part 1)

 

Milton Lima
Sociologist
02-17-2022

Weeks ago, I spoke with friends in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, the United States, about a concern I had when it came to war. I was concerned that recently the political debate had dealt with the consequences and not the causes when the subject was immigration. There were experts there whom I greatly respect in the field of economics. I went back to the example that Helga Zepp-LaRouche had given of the alarming (see a bit here) number of women and children in destitute conditions in Afghanistan.

Cutting ongoing essays in the academic world

Milton Lima
Sociologist
02-16-2022

Continuous point being our discourse a real and imagined moment. Why do I believe an essay is a continuous point? Because a real essay is made of cuts. Certainly, the academic face is not easy to undo. I say this because within work or my field of endeavour there are narratives as discourses and ideology. Credo here and also there, where for a long time it has become true. Just remember that until yesterday it figured to be forgotten who really was the wisest. Therefore, it is impossible not to return to the age of philosophy. 

Welcome to the new era. Here our hero is a stitch. Once again, I want to draw attention to our way of giving reason to our imagined world. Let the evil be nipped in the bud. Thus we can turn our attention to mediumship. This hidden world must awaken us to what is to come. 


To be heard, it must be easy to keep in mind that your learning here depends on this point. This point is your consciousness. At first, I return to our picture from the point of view of religion. A rebellion has been going on for five centuries or so.  What may be madness in this story is our tendency to lose core values. See Socrates dies on the way for the attainment of truth. Plato there begins his rebellion. When the world of navigation is in place, our exploration will meet at this point I call here the imaginary point. We are a natural point. Nature is our soul, I hope you never forget it. 

I am cutting the ongoing essays off and in the academy. This ship is an invitation to our humanity. In the coming years, we have it to remember that she means to watch your mind. If since Plato such an academy has fought for genuine knowledge, it has also realised that it was not alone. A struggle for truth between machines is just beginning. Dear reader, this essay should be remembered from my next texts on astrology. There is a war psyche and it is not a toy. What I can say is that each of us has an answer.

A bomba e a psicose: em fase a face da ilusão

 

Milton Lima
Sociólogo
02-12-2022

No atual momento em que vivemos, numa era tecnológica ou numa era da velocidade, não importa muito o como receberemos a informação, seja como meme, ou seja, como piada, tudo ou nada, as notícias do presente parecem ser as do futuro, numa mescla com as do passado, resumindo em uma bomba e uma psicose. Falar de guerra quente quando todos nós sabemos da força bruta que alguns países guardam em seu arsenal é uma loucura sem limites, ou não?

Günter Anders foi lembrado aqui, ele melhor do que ninguém exemplificou a loucura em curso no século da velocidade. Outro com quem podemos nos encontrar nesse caminho veloz, talvez seja conhecido de muitos aqui, ou não, trata-se do italiano, Ítalo Calvino. Sendo sincero o “Porque Ler os Clássicos” deve ser sempre que possível, uma obra lembrada desse autor, que tão bem se dirigiu a velocidade com que o século XXI se encontraria em sua tecnologia.

O tedesco na comunidade italiana é uma língua conhecida. Então retomar a psicanálise de Freud, e dos outros que o sucederam, traz a tona o que interessa a face da ilusão.

Deve ser comum se ler que o século XX foi o século da ciência. Mas onde foi que perdemos a ilusão com esta ciência? Diria que a sociedade em si é uma ciência seja em qual século for. Contudo, se levarmos em conta o que Anders chamou da era do apocalipse após a bomba de Hiroshima, então para explicar essa ciência em pouquíssimas palavras, devemos voltar à fé. A ciência criou-se no conhecimento do seu fogo mítico de base a lá Prometeu sob uma fé em si mesma e para si mesma. No que se pede para voltarmos aos clássicos, tem-se como premissa que lá se encontram todas as respostas. Foi assim que Maquiavel teve sua obra proibida pela igreja e classificada como maquiavélica. Assim já podemos introduzir o que a ciência luta para manter entre nós, uma ética que estaria acima do bem e do mal e isenta de qualquer interesse privado, tudo para o bem comum de todos os seres humanos.

Seria muito lindo tudo isso na base romântica. Alguém já escutou ou estudou sobre a teoria de Malthus? A pobreza extrema seria uma forma de bomba? O outro como inimigo ou até imigrante também seria uma forma de bomba? A ilusão estaria no inconsciente humano de ser comum? Então... Vejam a razão como lógica do perdão. A ciência que trouxe a bomba como um filho, seria a mãe de tamanha desgraça humana? Teria sido essa a promessa? Voltemos ao mito e a tão clássica teoria econômica de guerra, esta sim consciente e totalmente privada.

Não importa o continente, o poder está atrelado ao sistema financeiro. O custo dado por conta das dividas impagáveis, sustentam os donos do mundo na criação de crises eternas. E se buscamos a razão e se buscamos o medo e a culpa do outro nesse processo, voltamos à psicose da guerra. Já escutamos a concepção de guerra santa? E guerra tecnológica? Estas guerras são deduções que vagam entre um poder e outro com a mesma intenção, dividir para reinar. O que de fato acontece com tudo isso retorna ao imaginário e a mente.

Finalizando a fase posta com a ideia propagada que a Rússia invadirá a Ucrânia, e que isso ocorrendo se iniciará a última guerra, o que tentam esconder de nós ou causar em nós? Medo ou esperança? Medo de mudar a ordem econômica com soberania de grandes nações seria esse o medo? Esperança que o mundo de ilusões de que a ciência realmente seria comum aos públicos versus os privados interesses? Para sairmos da fase de ilusão e acessar a fase de realidade precisamos obter de volta a razão, porque ela foi privatizada. Privaram na ciência a história e a verdade. Para sairmos da fase de ilusão e acessar a fase da realidade precisamos de fé não apenas na ciência, porque crer faz parte deste processo, inclusive cientifico, mas de toda fé no que nos é comum. Enquanto alguns continuam a sonhar com um mundo no metaverso, por aqui na vida real e periférica, continuamos a ter fé no sagrado de sermos ainda humanos e não transhumanos como os donos da ciência nos quer transformar. Resistiremos? A bomba e a psicose continuarão a nos assombrar com miséria e realidades de extrema violência. A simbologia passou longe do mito. A hegemonia ocidental respira por aparelhos.

Por outro lado a eurásia está no jogo e os próximos capítulos estão por vir.

Un pensatore fondamentale per parlare della morte: Günter Anders

Milton Lima
Sociologo
02-06-2022

Quando si parla di filosofia, o di Martin Heidegger, è comune ricordare la relazione tra il scrittore e Hannah Arendt.  Certamente questo nome, Günter Anders, è noto al popolo tedesco, ma non se ne parla molto, almeno quando si parla di tecnologia. 

Quello che pochi sanno è che Hannah Arendt ha avuto una relazione con Günter Anders, che può essere trovata in un libro chiamato: La battaglia delle ciliegie. La mia storia d'amore con Hannah Arendt. 

Sembra che l'anno sarà lungo, e il tema della morte come è stato trattato merita tutta la nostra attenzione. I suicidi si sono moltiplicati e la nozione di Dio o la fede in qualcosa al di fuori della terra sembra cedere il passo a quello che molti avvertono da tempo come secolarismo. È per questo che parlare della morte coinvolge il nostro rapporto sociale con la vita che tutti sono consapevoli che la nostra fine qui sulla terra sarà la morte. La morte fisica fino ad allora aveva il suo valore. Ora sembra che oltre ad essere usa e getta, la parola morte ha lasciato il corpo fisico di chi lavora, e va verso la morte spirituale di un corpo che non è più umano, ma transumano. Ecco perché la bomba di Hiroshima ha il suo potere nel rapporto con i fatti e il nostro modo di affrontare la morte. Nonostante si abbia a che fare con la tecnologia, la guerra mentale è iniziata con la radio, con la televisione, ma come sarà la nostra vita senza un computer, qualcuno ha immaginato? Infatti l'idea è quella di trasformarci in una macchina, ma questa volta con un controllo totale sul suo modo di essere nel simulacro. Fate il parallelo con i poteri e cercate di scoprire come la morte sia una chiave nella guerra mentale. Disoccupazione, salute, economia, povertà, quale eredità viene lasciata agli animali? 

Anders ha la sua parte nella nostra discussione quando lo scrittore parla dell'apocalisse e la paura può essere vista ora in ogni momento. La dittatura è addomesticata e la paura è ormai impressa e la fede è passata a una scienza che il suo manuale e libro non porta la morte come dignità umana, ma porta il suo rapporto sociale come passaporto, per il futuro? Chi lo sa? Il fatto è che Günter Anders aiuta a pensare questa relazione di perdita della fede e di trasformazione della vita umana in qualcos'altro che non sia una vita normale.

February weekly newsletter start of the month

Milton Lima
Sociologist
02-04-2022

I confess that this week it will be quite difficult to choose just a few subjects, but I must be prepared to do so. So I must start with the elections. From Honduras to Portugal, the faces of socialism are back. This means that these governments with such lines are already moving the chess in the game. I say this because a fortnight ago the FT newspaper has once maintained the opinions of its columnists about the risk, for example, of Lula in Brazil supporting the governments of the left in the region. This same Lula was invited to the president's January ceremony there in Honduras. This game is old when the threat saw the government become populist. It is important to say that within politics, exactly nothing is what it seems. So we were not naïve yesterday and therefore we will not be naïve today. Who should offer more fear to Brazil or Argentina, Chile or perhaps Venezuela? On that, I will return to the periphery and I hope you all see it. 

In Europe, the conflict has been brewing since mid-December. When we point to the elections we must not forget that the Green party in Germany has dealt many cards in the government. This means that there what happens in the face of the conflict with Russia and natural gas has an ideological bias behind it. So the issue that should gain a lot of strength this year is climate change because anyone who has read the newspapers in Germany has noticed that there is a public opinion well directed towards the climate issue. In this case, my opinion remains the same, the psychological war will have many paths from the climate apocalypse, which has always been on the globalist agenda. 

Meanwhile, newspapers in Italy and Spain show how much the extreme right is organising with its grassroots. The elections in Italy are already knocking on the door. In France, it's not much different. Taking into account unemployment, the economic recession and the pandemic, which is far from over, the agenda is once again: what to do about integration? A hot topic that is likely to return to the agenda is immigration, whether there is a war or not. There is no need to go far, look at Afghanistan, at Yemen, people there are dying of hunger and endless misery. 

On the great meeting of leaders Putin and Xi, the covers did not waste much time for a smear, meanwhile, other covers show the seas around NATO near Ukrainian with several Nawians, that is, the conflict is just beginning. I keep hoping there won't be a war because that would be a catastrophe for all humanity.

Organs and bones in cognitive dissonance

 

Milton Lima
02-03-2022

This is how the theory of games came about, always close to our vital organs, first, they go in search of our ears after going straight to our eyes, they go straight to our mouth. When we didn't imagine that there too they would go looking for our bones. Above all what I hope everyone sees is that our struggle is forward, in which we want after all to remain only human and nothing more than that. 

As if there is no tomorrow. This system has been programmed to get our attention on a moral level. The more fear, the more its violence proliferates. Private propriety, rule of law, bureaucracy, the common parts go all the way back to Adam Smith in his book on moral sentiments. While the high court is set up to control their power there in democracy. They will drive all the governed out of their time, while we are undermining any boundaries to stop the madness in our minds. All this must involve their pain, their frustration, their sickness, their unhappiness, their misery, their want. Then we can see to imagine those who want the solitude of our soul. Again and again, against all and every moment, our mind is caught up in life in another dimension and we will forget a thread of honour in which we awaken our soul. 

Secularisation as path-loss was made to target this view from cognitive dissonance. See this as we believe we possess the mind and hearts here and now in the metaverse and virtual life, really they have thought it all out.

Política e Sociedade #temperatura eleitoral Brasil episódio #1

Milton Lima
02-01-2022


Fevereiro de 2022.

O dia começa com a pergunta: Quem leva a eleição de 2022 no Brasil, a terceira via ou o neoliberalismo? Xeque mate, será isso o que você está pensando? Ainda não, isso mesmo, por enquanto, eu não te darei uma resposta válida. Mas o que se segue é apenas uma visão do tabuleiro e contando com a mínima – ou talvez, quem sabe, uma máxima sorte - pretensão de dar-te no famigerado jogo ético, um ganhador seja ele lá quem for ou com qualquer que seja seu adversário. E talvez porque não lembrando Racionais mc’s, a personagem ganhe casa estilo o BBB, e até prêmio de mais de milhão de reais, e assim escolher dizer “Glória, Glória, sei que Deus tá aqui, e só quem é vai sentir”, e aí escolher o primeiro ou o novo “representante da história...” E o “guerreiro de fé...” “Judas... o Juiz... Ou, o Pastor”.

No futebol, a linguagem que bem retrata o fato é: o jogo é jogado, e o peixe, é pescado. Conforme a súmula do árbitro que traz o que de desagradável por acaso veio a ocorrer no jogo, tampouco se prepara com tamanha maestria o VAR que esconde os áudios que acredite você ou não, no final do jogo dirão que foi hakeado, e por isso devem ser esquecidos entre os juízes; então por assim dizer o campo da política tem nos últimos campeonatos, sido personificado entre, ou é tudo ou é nada. E nesse percurso houve governo destituído em 2016, o que levará a oposição a ganhar no tapetão nesta minimalista ocasião, mas como isso não é um jogo de futebol, continua-se na (querida) bola rolando à democracia no teatro da política.

Se não me deixo esquecer, alguns dividem tal polarização entre esquerda e direita. Mas, o desavisado dirá e o centrão... Outro desavisado e sem o sinal de (???) dirá está na terceira via. A ideia é quase bucólica do direito natural hobbesiano, o que seria cômico se antes não fosse trágico demais. Isso de tão irônico se levará por brincadeira, por assim dizer, até lá nos meados do vencedor do final do BBB.

Queria eu poder ser mais sério no trato com a política no mês do famoso carnaval, mas como as águas de março estão a passar, e dos gregos, palavras como delta não param de chegar, vou esfriar essa temperatura, porque afinal de contas o aquecimento global está aí para os políticos do A ao Z do alfabeto em todas as línguas. De economia vão emergir chicagos boys a torto e a direita ou ainda há quem dúvida disto? A impressão no final das contas, é que a moeda será a nova criptomoeda, e como um dia sem trabalho o aposentado sem pensão já terá se dado conta do (FUDEU) quão ele está endividado, lá vai ele votar no seu futuro bucólico.

Free Prometheus in the time of sacrifice?

 

Milton Lima 
01-31-2022

The theme of time management requires a logic that justifies it first as a power that will give the feeling that the individual has a choice, which henceforth will represent a subject who sees himself between the strength of his work as useful to be capitalised on and the time when his free time has become an object of desire in the modern world. 

The promise, in this case, finds the myth of the entrepreneur of himself, portrays the historical materialism that in its content, in fact, seeks what was promised to the subject, that famous freedom to be able to be in his constitution of himself, his own investment. 

No doubt when dealing with the Industrial Revolution the capital measured by reason, produced beyond the division of labour the fight for the rights of man in this time that we still seek what it really is to be free. Before we expose how we deal with such risk management in time, we present the classic Charles Chaplin's film "Modern Times" to think about our time. 

Now, what is free time? What was the labour society in the 20th century for Max Weber and how did Karl Marx influence it? How the Frankfurt school saw Theodor W. Adorno on time management. The film "Modern Times" is a silent movie classic from 1936, produced in the USA, by Charles Chaplin brought the critique of liberalism in times of Fordism, still reminiscent of that 1929 famine. 

To social scientists who experience the challenge of managing their own time, it is up to them to think about how neoliberalism promised the myth that would circumvent the historical course of social struggles in their rights. 

Thus, it is given to us to think about what was communism, socialism, capitalism, and how they meet in the process of absolute control of the bodies, and in this path, it will be possible to meet Michel Foucault and review the sacrifice.

No, the pandemic is not over

Milton Lima
01-29-2022

Cultural life here and there 

Every occasion and every situation, sooner or later, really seems to make light of the desert from the ready words. If we use a method to reach its political end, even such an unthinkable system as its representations cannot say that the sign of its goodness did not also come marching through the desert. 

He places it as desert mainly in fiction, so we must return to the idea that the pandemic is nearing its end. Here we can return to the word, war. Our image a few paragraphs above is important because it signifies a search, I would say a search for peace.  

Although this peace apparently does not allow to bring another war, this is efficient and evident for all those who study geopolitics, the war not seen and already put in a pandemic will be very evident in the coming years, and there is really a huge risk of nuclear war happening beyond fiction. 

Because some friends in recent weeks have commented that the news was good and that things were heading towards a resumption of what was before. So I make a provocation to them and to those who thought this would be true, has the economic bubble (this year I want to write specifically about the bubble) burst yet? Unfortunately, those who made the plan know very well how to execute it, and for this reason, I think no, that's right, the pandemic will not end this year. The reasons are diverse, but they are mainly political. When there is talk of war, the same narrative is sometimes used, that China will invade Taiwan and now Russia will invade Ukraine. Thinking about the hegemonic politics of endless war, it is to look at Afghanistan and see what actually happened in the last 50 years. 

As a praxis here I will end this short reflection. I bring Dino Buzzatti, whose literary work has been remembered in Italy (a country I have looked at closely because I like its culture) in a newspaper article. In particular, I have read "The Desert of the Tartars", and I was enchanted by the narrative. That's why I remember Dino with the same plot, the wait for the war, there it would start and here in our fictional world, our wait will be for the war to end.

É paz e não guerra

 Milton Lima

27-01-2022

O poder consciente para encontrar sua paz

De alguns anos para cá tenho decidido escrever noutra linguagem. Por isso, vê-se aqui ora ou outra textos, ora inglês e ora italiano. E, contudo, a língua mãe e com a qual mais sou familiarizado, por vezes tem sido evitada – a escrita aqui na língua portuguesa. Sem ser negligente o bastante, o português como linguagem (e sinal) é parte do meu ser construído nesta história. Já para mea culpa como também para cui bono, que as últimas conversas tais como as últimas experiências convidam para o poder consciente.

De fato, ou se tem formação ou se tem deformação, não no Brasil, mas em qualquer lugar do mundo. Devido a tantas coisas que por agora não vem o caso esticar, apenas, uma coisa pode ser vista no contexto de qual e pela qual vale lutar, isto é, à vida. Com esse sentido do estar consciente do como atingir seu maior potencial humano, que o objetivo destas poucas palavras é entrelaçar o poder positivo da consciência subtraindo de si a experiência.

O poder consciente se me permite, é algo que não tem volta, pois, seu próprio nascer não está pronto, porque ele é feito de vivência e por isso deve-se ter em mente que, seu nascimento qual tanto o meu, parte de uma mesma premissa que é umbilicalmente humana.

Se por um lado o poder traz consigo a experiência, por outro lado traz o mais sombrio vazio. Siga o silêncio e encontrará sua paz.

Politics for the ungoverned


 Milton Lima
01-26-2022

Politics for the ungoverned

When we had or while we had the perception that social democracy was a solution for all, in the very creation of the European Union, what the major leadership thought of was peace within a Christian structure. So everybody was one body. But if we also remember Brzenziski, our Robert Schuman hoped that Christian union and integration would become a religion as your role of politics for the ungoverned. What she has of her approach with what should go to war is understood by no one. So it will have had a faith path as an advantage, but it will also have had a disadvantage when such a religion became secularist. Perhaps we can understand this return of war when we return to the essentials, to life and death. Who lives and who dies?


What more do we need to be in order to have dignity as the living inheritance of Christ? Well, once again we will have a problem. Because this war is so much more sophisticated now, it must mentally control our spirits. As long as we are subject to stories told by them, nothing of fear or violence can move our way from the homeland to hope of transition for them. Such a transition will be seen within Politics for the ungoverned. 


Would it be a condition that man would have been more fearful of God since those times they could know your dying day? When did the man feel that the nature of life came to be something else? Perhaps when the man behind the law was common to his principles. That said simply, in the last days of this ending month of January, law and laws have returned to the debate of the early seventeenth century, that is Hobbes will be present in the defence of God and the defence of natural law. 

The trigger is the views of the young. They struggle to stop their quest and it is said that where he went he came back no more. In the midst of war around the world, where then the world extended forward there are deep roots, we have to return at the almost beginning of the real economy. And then to the speculative economy. Until then in an economy for humanity and not just for the machine. So is the war to continue, as Hobbes said: All against all; Young people are targets for a simple reason, if it is tamed in school, it will be easier to control. Politics for the Ungoverned brings out how contemporary this is. Be it by speeches from them against us, to the climate apocalypse or the fear of the death of the planet alarmed by globalists. In the endless war lasting over 40 years in Afghanistan and the big milestones of 2001 with the Protection Act, and absolutist control at the same time of globalisation, where has the Christian faith of the unity of the governed gone? 

Acting on their divide and rule logic, a colonising group of bankers have made us disposable beings. While people are starving, the 1% holds the most wealth in front of the 99% left. Faced with starvation, the ungoverned start looking for another faith, and when they find peace, they are barred at the borders. Here the school tells us to forget the boats on the high seas.

The world breathes the tension of war in the air. Russia shows that it has faith and that by faith it is ready to defend its governed. European Union, see France and Germany, beckoning NATO that they cannot sacrifice their rulers to support economic sanctions against Russia. Although famous for American democracy, it would itself come to be seen as ungovernable with the electoral defeat of Donald Trump, but the Biden administration seems to be waging its own war of imposing policy on the ungoverned by a democracy that seeks at all costs to maintain its personal war against China, and Iran. The administration has seen the polar bear with Hobbes' primer, and even far from ending this war, the value it seeks to control now, among minds and hearts, only faith still believes in humanity.

The confession around to death while word: letter A


 Milton Lima
23-11-2021

The other universal face of death 

A) It is the death of the nature

I have confessed for five years that this theme makes me think about life. The fortitude with all its breadth will lead us to face science as it has come to think about death. I see it from poetry as another toolbox, where we bring our dreams and where all human beings go.  Therefore, I repeatedly invite our reflection on them. Who are they? Well, here our problem begins. Concepts and worldview, conscious and unconscious, structure and system, war and peace, love and hate, all well built Malthusian. Thus, they are the ones who have made us believe that life will become virtual. Yes, your time now is their time. Do you believe in your heart that your work will now be back with the rights of man? They are crazy to make you believe that life is now something else. If life is not the same, how will such knowledge help me understand if death is death itself? We think of this first with one word: universal.

Power and power. Since I learned a language system, I also learned to read the symbols. I was born close to 90 years old. Where, in time, I saw that everything they did for me was a machine. But such a machine would come to move my social relationship with death. How this machine-made me without becoming a man of quality is the role at this point of reflection. While now I have my face of death in the care of medicine where I will say that I fall into reality when I am saved for science. It would be very nice if it were not for man's controlling role in nature. 

They have an agenda. And it seems to me that science now strives to facilitate the social role of death to be forgotten. When we understand to look at death with its other meaning, then we return to the verb that said the Lord is my shepherd and nothing will blame me.

Tribute to the poet of the dead society.


20-01-2022
Milton Lima 

I looked around the time to see who was there. I found an ordinary day, the 20th of January. As if poetry itself begins on its day. So I am going to talk about these dead poets. Where should I start from? Perhaps inspiration would be wine. Then, from whom does it come and to whom does it go, that which comes to me? Only time itself will tell. I remain a confidant a witness, and also a poet. 

Because Erasmus himself, when he wrote about madness perhaps he was praising all the dead poets? Because it is a worldly madness, to understand what we do not feel or only see? What can we feel in verse or on the edge of having eyes contemplating a poem? The living praise and the dead feel the applause of the true heirs of their poems.

Tribute to the poet of the dead society.

The emptiness of death in film: this must be the place





Home is where I want to be

Pick me up and turn me 'round

I feel numb, born with a weak heart

I guess I must be having fun

The less we say about it, the better

We'll make it up as we go along

Feet on the ground, head in the sky

It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing



It is a dramatic and moving film. Directed and written by great filmmakers, this film deserves much praise, however, I will make some notes here, as I have proposed for films with an anthropological eye here - previously film Sweat

Both Paolo Sorrentino and Umberto Contarello need make no comment. Let's go to the film! First of all, the choice of name for me here is based on the thunder light in the scene where the phone rings and he finds out that his father has passed away.  "The emptiness of death in film: this must be the place".

by Milton Lima

16-01-2022

Following the same line of films watched in the year 2022, always on Sundays, I will be brief. The family in anthropology is much studied, in culture, in society, in groups. The structure of language, and so many details, that does not come to the case, but it is worth remembering that I follow these concepts to write what comes next.

The art is to move and to make people cry. Drama is a fabric to make one dream. This film brings to light the issue of fame, success, depression, father and son, husband, wife, daughter, and friends. Social interaction is macro and micro in this film. 



Taste, Roland Barthes once said, brings the taste of words. The taste of this film brings me the word culture and with it its breadth of the traction issue of death. The main character, a rock star figure, lives in his memory a constant world of contradiction - perhaps here it is real life and not art imitating life. The character expects everything even to understand the loss of life, of his friend and father. The emptiness of death, a name I gave here, brings death into the debate that is not physical but totally social, and that is independent of social class. The charm of the film, through the gaze of death, passes through the dog, through the boy who seeks to date his daughter, and through the fantasy of superman. Finally, death in this case reminded even the great writer Franz Kafka, because the traditional family problem with the father is always involved in the great classics of our art.


See you at the end of this month
