Cancellation of our mind

What I read during the first week of June was extremely interesting. I deliberately draw attention to communication and worldview. As a researcher, I analyse the extreme politics and discourse used by those in power to construct their arguments. I also strive daily to broaden my worldview. History is my passion. From an early age, I was curious and loved reading, and my tastes improved when I learnt other languages.

As this is a brief note, we must choose our battles carefully. I have been writing in this space for some time, and you can find a series of texts about the books I have read from around the world. I usually avoid delving too deeply into communication, but today, out of respect for the reader, I would like to present a logical approach to how I gather and share news.

Having a world view is essential for reading with a cognitive bias. The more you read, the more you stray from reality because nothing is as it seems. People in power who make decisions lead different lives. What does that mean? It means that we have been fooled for too long by distractions such as colour revolutions. Or by news reports that condemn some and acquit others.

In this worldview, news follows the current pattern and is reported accordingly. When I analyse the chaos and the way communication is presented, I wonder how readers interpret the news without distancing themselves from the medium. To understand the economists' thoughts on war, geopolitics and artificial intelligence, I look for sources validated by this group. By this, I mean newspapers that are widely regarded as prestigious.

So, in each country, you find the traditional press validating what is right and wrong. This is why, when I comment on the news I read in the second week of June 2025, I feel like we're still discussing what we read when we should be talking about what we didn't read.

No matter which source you choose to believe, everything is very relative: who is writing; who they are writing for; why; how; what they are reading; what they believe; who they are representing; and so on.

When you go back to modern thinking, cancel culture becomes commonplace. The obvious response to cancel culture is to ignore it, but what happens in a capitalist society? The culture of cancelling affects not only public image, but also what is valued in the competitive economic landscape.

The current crisis of values experienced by society is structural and unequal. The media will never question the status quo; they will simply follow the rules of the game. If you read the main French newspapers, for example, you will notice a consistent editorial stance and clear criteria for what is or isn't considered relevant for publication. The same applies to Germany, Spain and Italy. However, the world is not divided between London and Washington. We know how the financial elite operates. Do we? Just look at how complex it is.

Turning to Latin America, the most pressing issue is identity. Politically, news moves from one interest group to another, and it's clear that they all the sources come from the same place: the Anglo-Saxon world.

The other day, I read a story about young Indians who were worried that the university and immigration crises would stop them from studying in the US. The desire for knowledge is a natural aspiration for young people, and culture has always encouraged them to pursue it. We have visited almost every continent.

These prestigious newspapers around the world do not address the repercussions of Russia and China seeking an alternative to global trade. I'm not defending a particular model, but I am questioning why we are not exploring other models. The BRICs are countries that have long dreamed of independence.

What I've read this week is history being demonised once again. It's astonishing how eager the West is to portray the Russians as villains, while the Chinese, with their ancient culture, are committed to the national power project they established, which they must maintain at all costs.

Trump needs to understand the deep state's game and see who remains allied, because the behind-the-scenes fight is happening now and isn't reported in the newspapers. If Trump didn't give the green light to attack Russia, who did? Have you heard any rumours of a possible coup? And if there is a coup, what will the cost be? Clearly, part of the global elite wants a hot war. This would maintain the debt and the system, and nothing would change except how history is recorded. The risk of war is immense, and Trump is a completely manipulated figure in this game. Only the three leaders of these powers — Putin, Xi and Trump — can prevent disaster. However, all sides are promoting division and forcing people to choose sides, and not everyone is interested in the side they're given.

Politeness and wisdom to live in peace: surface relief of the death

 

Politeness and wisdom to live in peace: surface relief of the death



By Milton Lima 29-07-2021

Today we live in a world fully connected by things invented one. But why do we be affirmative? From this shift we were connected with science and if we care about her before it is because in the last two centuries before it’s clear of WWII such shift propaganda would be great to mankind? Well first point here seems to be a key in which this world should be another thing to be invented. Now like it, politeness done to a world limited by its borders can be transformed into another thing? What do I call the spirit of peace on this wisdom? Just right would give account on this and law or contract? How will we organize it? To answer them I must remember once that it or better to all that it is a hypothesis of work and that only will make sense if we look at the whole. When we know that of course it new shape of world nonsense is nothing more than a new form of power control.see here  

So it is that now we’ve called the new normal nothing more than a totalitarian system. When I had its idea to write and too can to speak of peace I  thinking in a translate that did here of Giorgio Agamben with title: Cittadini di seconda classe, and after it I believe to be very need to had in mind that now more that never we need of the wisdom to survive.



Indeed a lot of the water still runs here. We live in a world in which truth has now become relative, where lies are evaluated as true by giants big-tech, when your power becomes easy to again create polarization, be it political or not. Well if we did a search with the name Eugène Sue, we would have arrived at death in a determinate epoch. Go on!


However, we will have more ways of light and the unforeseen. ST. Augustine's and Hannah Arendt together can aim us to understand this moment of shadow, but their same love needs to be tested as positive or negative, and mask too, acknowledging this. Here it seems to me that they are welcome, first because one paints a city with two ways with symbolism between goodness and madness, the second will go to trouble who indeed was given such a way of hope. It goes to love. The framework of death in action arrives in the conscience of a new age. For its direction we permit this development. They are here and there, in my country and amid us, maybe a contingent when just is possible see them like heroes.

Death in Brazil health gets mirror inside COVID-19.

By Milton Lima 18-04-2020
I’ve views mere things last days, and ensure to my mind such silent is frightened and not by stay home but yes at regard ensure hasn’t nothing after – if not revisited these dead.



Well to we arrive in this lockdown around worldwide was need a pandemic, who when tell of silent by behind sense than the death had as human compassion doesn’t more same.





But we will see that while words are things and the same not are deemed words we’ve on the occasion an atmosphere which this silent not complete the sense of word death.



For me does can available how and why such silent was appropriate of word I duty back to Latin, there choose the word that goes bring my thought, is word call them emolimentum to own difficulty.



Now is world running to avoid my neurosis and madness into faith in world unknown?



So there is the death of system we have world known - see Alexander Dugin and well too Pepe Escobar.

Health or Death a question to silent of Brazil


When so president Michel Temer (MDB) in year 2017th he gave this signature to go Constitutional Emend 95 (EC) which congeal spending with Health, him were in truth  narrowing basic recourse to more poor. 



Second the economist Carlos Ocke, spending with health in Brazil is reducing well too. The peoples already are oldest and worst scenery is when the system seems deeply most poor.

To according with the Francisco Funcia search of health and economy since approbation their (EC) 95, those spending that were 15% of receipt government fall to 13%. 




COVID-19 Death and Brazil a dream hidden future
Likewise that congress Brazilian approved R$ 3, 6 trillion in December of 2019, these spending not are 15% with health and while there is time to stay home, less will told of understood of death of health amazing to poor. While in year 2014, each people coasted R$ 595,00 in year 2020 such cost R$ 555,00. 
Second the site of congress country rate result red counts and a deficit finance R$ 124,1 billion.
So the Health System Unique (SUS) sees own collapse when president of republic and his minister farm will approve PEC 186/2019, as PEC 187/2019, together goes back a cliquey political class – or elite.
I believe that the graphic demonstrative do site UOL bring all death in Brazil until here.

And by end the question who wins with it, health or death? Who live the virus or tough man?

O Brasil, a Itália, e a verdade conveniente do COVID-19


A felicidade é uma arma Geopolítica

Ao som de Belchiorsaia do meu caminho”. Por Milton Lima. 02-24-2020.

Por aqui nas bandas não tão largas do Brasil, pouco se lê na mídia ou meios de comunicação sobre a greve na Petrobrás. Eu faço do caso uma novela tanto irônica diria, enquanto presumo o porquê do não lugar da opinião pública sobre o ocorrido; e como sendo de práxis por aqui se contar o final feliz depois que se apagam as luzes, me parece ser a tônica desta questão nacional. Nada tão cômico que o trágico não faça-nos aguardar até o fim. De volta a felicidade, retomemos a canção ‘saia do meu caminho’, do saudoso Belchior (1946- 2017) – nos dissera para não esquecê-lo, pois ele “preferiria andar sozinho e decidir a própria vida”. 

O compositor e cantor de música popular brasileira até parece que compôs para o nosso tempo presente. Recobrar a memória é lembrar Belchior e sua canção, que infelizmente não é apenas ‘Alucinação’. Mas atravessa-nos no tempo à medida que nos ofertara seu ‘Coração Selvagem’[1]. Pois, ele dissera na ocasião, não estar interessado em nenhuma teoria.

Talvez seu delírio o fizesse poeta são que longe da realidade estaria livre das coisas reais. Senão poeta do nosso tempo ao menos não esquecera de avisar-nos do que viria com o mundo novo, ah, elas, a solidão e o medo (se quiserem palavras presas). No tempo do homem que não viu a lua por não se vê na terra (seria tela?) plana, fora o cantor cirurgião quando nos apontou ‘em nenhuma fantasia’ estar interessado? Por se interessar em ‘amar e mudar as coisas’? Ou por sua pressa de viver que o velou tão jovem?  

A felicidade é uma arma? Sim caro Belchior, ela é uma arma ‘Geopolítica’. Quando a chamada não sem propósito se volta à vida feliz, quer-se chamar mais que sua atenção cara (o) leitor (a). O que é a tal felicidade? Mas como conectar a questão ‘saia do meu caminho’ a esta felicidade? Vejam as imagens que contextualiza nosso texto e tirem suas conclusões. Será que mostra-nos a felicidade? Então para respondê-la: leio os jornais.

Nos jornais do Brasil nada se lê da greve da Petrobrás que tampouco é discutida pela imprensa, à venda das refinarias de petróleo no país.

Isto se concretizado deve aumentar o desemprego e dificilmente encontraremos com quem esteja disposto a falar de felicidade. Portanto, o tema e a música popular brasileira se bifurcam em busca de uma saída onde vira muito bem Belchior que sua e nossa ‘alucinação é suportar o dia-a-dia’.

Paralelo a tal arma que consiste a política no país (não esquecendo que estamos em ano eleitoral no Brasil) nos é apresentado o vírus e a felicidade de viver longe dele; conquanto neste momento as deixemos de lado (por enquanto) e voltemos nosso olhar para Europa – que se estende para Eurásia e resvala na América Latina. Nas imagens acima vimos uma mulher (fonte La Republica) de máscara no rosto. E na segunda imagem – ambas na Itália – (fonte El Pais) uma reunião com o primeiro ministro do parlamento italiano, Giuseppe Conte, para tratar do alerta, em que se tem registro, até o momento de centenas de contaminados (veremos alguns números doravante), no país. Segundo as reportagens o COVID-19 fez duas vítimas fatais (23/02/2020).  

A imagem a seguir é do jornal New York Times[2]. Conforme lida a palavra que me parece ser indigesta na política do Brasil se transforma em quase tudo, menos não à toa, na esquecida palavra ‘crise’. No entanto, ela se esconde noutra palavra mágica, esta faz surgir à felicidade, alguém sabe qual é a mágica? Qual senão a economia... 


E por isso voltemos à China, USA, e a guerra comercial que se estende por uma verdade não muito conveniente. Tal verdade se torna indelicada quando fadada à pobreza, a fome, e a calamidade da saúde pública. A economia e o sistema financeiro mundial continuam independentes ou dependentes da crise? ‘Tudo de novo’ diria outra vez Belchior, e diria em tempo que ‘era estudante da vida’...

E sem esquecê-lo:

Belchior e o Pequeno mapa do tempo – trecho.

Eu tenho medo de abrir a porta... E se lá encontrar? (...) o fantasma escondido no porão... Medo, medo, medo, medo, medo... E se não encontrar-me no tempo?

Eu tenho medo e já aconteceu... Morre o meu medo e isto não é segredo...




Quando no final de dezembro de 2019, o mundo se preparava para uma nova década, se viu com espanto a nota emitida na cidade de Wuhan na China, que comunicava o mundo tal alerta de perigo - 2019-n Cov. Após o anúncio se viu em diversos ambientes o medo, o extremo valor e principalmente o controle. E a OMS controlada pela ONU era responsável por coordenar todos os trabalhos sobre o tratamento do vírus[3].  Segundo Daniel Bernabé (05/02/2020) pouco tem se falado da infra-estrutura em que a China foi capaz de construir (exemplo um hospital em 10 dias) depois do alarme de urgência, mas pelo contrário muito se fala do isolamento anglo-americano para lidar com o vírus. Não nos esquecemos que lá (USA) se paga para receber o atendimento no hospital, e se eles estão preparados para enfrentá-lo, é uma coisa, o que basta saber é se os mais pobres vão poder pagar. A crítica sob um espelho humano é conduzida por Bernabé que vê os dados da população em estimativa de vida em escala crescente, onde 72 anos é a média global. Enquanto o primeiro país do ranking, a Espanha, já alcançara os 83 anos nesta escala. Esta expectativa de vida traz conjunto a si outro louvor de alcance à felicidade de se poder viver mais? Ou a pergunta sobre não imaginar o fim do capitalismo é substituída pela imaginação da vida humana? Exemplo, nas ficções ultimamente não tem nos faltado, basta lembrarmos do filme de Steven Soderburgh, Contágio (2011). Por último Bernabé indaga se não seria um risco deixar os imigrantes sem cobertura sanitária? Os que não param de chegar à Europa. 

Sabe-se neste momento que a Itália é o primeiro país europeu com maior contágio do COVID-19. 

Na continuidade das leituras dos jornais, La Republica (02/23/2020), destacou que Roma assinou um decreto para proibir a mobilidade humana nas zonas afetadas. Segundo a reportagem de Michele Bocci e Matteo Pucciarelli, diversos municípios e províncias registraram casos. Piemonte, Lombardia, Padova, Codogno, Milano, Veneto, e Lazio.

O jornal espanhol El Pais (ditto), chamou atenção para o epicentro do contágio COVID-19, na região mais bem sucedida financeiramente da Itália – Lombardia.  

Por sua vez o New York Times (ditto) é o jornal que estende a preocupação. Apontou casos em outros países de mortes pelo COVID-19; Estes passando pela Coréia do Sul e Japão. E enfatizando os números de alarme, 763 casos foram registrados em seis dias na Coréia do Sul. E por fim destacando na costa da Líbia havia um navio que foi recusado com centenas de imigrantes.

As luzes estão se apagando devagar. No Brasil não se tem muita notícia da greve dos petroleiros. Enquanto isso na China Xi Jinping anunciou (02/23/2020) em comunicado seu agradecimento a Bill and Melinda Gates Fundation pela ajuda de R$100 milhões para o combate do COVID-19. E trouxe na sua fala que o mundo deveria se unir em cooperação para enfrentar a epidemia. 

E se buscamos Belchior, um cantor de música popular brasileira para esta análise, não o fizemos à toa, mas com o devido compromisso de pensar numa reflexão política em pleno carnaval por essas bandas trópicas. E saia do meu caminho, não é nenhum bloquinho de folia, muito menos é tão somente um calor súbito de mais um jovem latino americano, e sim desvelar o fantasma que mora no porão. 

A pobreza tem se intensificado, e o espetáculo que o mundo não vê, se chama guerra híbrida. A nova rota da seda está em pauta, e esta guerra que envolve o COVID-19 é por tecnologia e poder. Portanto, esta guerra não vai terminar com o fim dos créditos que hão de subir no apagar das luzes. 

Enquanto a economia dirige a felicidade nestas bandas; na Itália 50 mil pessoas se encontram em quarentena. 

Se por acaso ela, sim, a felicidade, resolver se esconder e sair do meu caminho, que não venha à economia dizer-me que a culpa foi minha. E também se por acaso apenas os pobres não mais ler os jornais, saberei que o medo emprestou-me com juros toda a sorte de estar no Brasil - o país do coração selvagem. Que as palavras presas se tornem palavras, de Kafka, Tolstoi, Shakespeare, Guimarães Rosa, Machado de Assis, Dostoievski, Clarice Lispector, Nietzsche, Freud, André Gide, Hannah Arendt, Toni Morrison, Joyce, Homero, Dante, Maquiavel, Darcy Ribeiro, Milton Santos, Fanon, Achille Mbembe, e Raquel de Queiroz. A lista continua, mas prefiro deixá-la com a interpretação de Noel Rosa com seu “último desejo”.

Ocean and chart of the spreading can trigger an endless war?




Ocean and chart of the spreading can trigger an endless war?



When James K. Feibleman wrote Understanding Civilizations the shape of history, in 1975 seemed have much happy, at analyzed religious as a drama.  In world of today we aim no more understanding the myth or a new way to civilization. So what we aim now if not look to history underway and doesn't whole cycle we looking coming be what are seen?





Second Feibleman (1975: 55) “Empire came to an end in 410, when the Goths broke through the frontiers and sacked Rome - an event that had a profound effect on Augustine".

To Borges a chart cannot answer reality and the writer of argentine is a author classic our time. Who would ask of genesis to our narrative if not St. Augustine "Why did God permit so much misery to happen to mankind?" (Feibleman, 1975: 57).



It all that to say: our civilization belong the other form of life. The news aimed always being in order, framework of path was belief in world better, but what freighted of truth always was his truth ness less of world being a happy desire to all. We will stop of killer us? The chart no went of life to death, the war no stopped in second time of football.



The peoples does his our history unknown the cause of dead that cannot have his death more cry.



The violence seem me grace divine, path and truth side the side, genocide, New Testament, its is here in our epoch at apocalypse technological.



Who would imagine that the technology prefer to believe in world modern?

Yes is truth that the world changed. The problem went having believed in truth.

Italy and all his empire, by sea discover the new world; already the Portuguese’s gone the way of the India’s and discover the Brazil. The community global today knows the Amazon in country of football. Last but not least if forgot say me why the world likes of forget deity or clean of death maybe I can say because you're believe the new Silk Road. And of new if forgets the banks e properly that the class underlet will be more a number dead.

The power of reading in world

The power of reading in world


Exist a war much silent happening at world. Their warring live to be of our sides dream with artificial intelligence same time that his death or life is view a failed economic system. Soon the account will arrive to likely half peoples as a new culture; right is that pain allies filling part of the discourse with change climatic isn't view as part of system and there is a world at dredgers who will need waiver. Nevertheless neither relief same poetry of Eliot "The Burial of the Dead" would able if keep tenable and undoubtedly the war must be core in everything that whether be happening in world.

To approaches of reading a world outwit of our culture is give step for forget it what Magritte call 'the false mirror' off willingness that us approach of being other consumers. Be the desire or matters must have a point common. The case also can and must be under a word who circles the world as soon as her is absolute send to happy with his etymology of happiness. How the belief, religion, as ideology and power strung to conquest a new memory. Since that everybody thought in connect us by internet last in globalization the financial capital not was more same. And now the question is why exist a principle common between us and them, between the speculation and o planet.




Disponível em: MoMA

The picture above was presented at The Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1928. And was James Thrall Soby who catalogues the exhibition of René Magritte.
Indeed a frame that can be view to reading or vision of world in this moment is the psychological war. The word crisis back be in taken crucial before the population increase but after of technology the policy over planet them flow whole about in power of preservation. At underwood or born in city the fire that us transform in culture is preview imperial system of domination in world. Underdeveloping or developing countries to apply capital controls tariffs will life the step with a new policy over climatic? I'd prefer believe that it have been role and interest of great monetary system fixed develop in mankind the own fear of war scientific and are the poor the 99% of a part and the rich 1% that sides out in this war.
The problem and impact of the change climatic not has called us into reflexion with emphasis us interest invisible who continues in economic world. Accumulation of capital and wash money, violence and a power wake does with that the world awakes the more soon possible.
At basis in this information seems clean the way of reading of world. The great potentials in world today project a new system. The new Silk Road promise have been available to next generation really behavior about make join the new policy in world. The USA, Russia, China, India, Japan.
Most of us can have subsidies as emprises? To Jane McAlevey (see here The Path to Climate Justice Runs Through the UAW Strike) the General Motors has received close to $50 billion in subsidies and has diminished number of jobs. Is as go say John M. Ackerman (see here 'Fake news': ¿Hay un punto de referencia? ) “The Internet is not a neutral space, but a battlefield where different interests and agendas are pushed”.

Maybe each power have his limit in development, but is need while reader choice this references often and not themselves form inside his own attack microcosm and macrocosm done whole of without. It means that the world with the internet discharges about us big responsibility politics. While are 99% without organization politics of power the others 1% have care draw in us make doing believe hope. Prometheus us the fire now what have mankind if not death heroic?  Prometheus us the democracy the freedom also the justice and by end liberty but whole history have been to told we and believe in dream who in the end will be free to forever of us slavers of work and wealth do will be go mind think because now have the power? 99% are poor is the democracy is of the people.
