The (Not So) Neutrals of World War II

"The neutral states of World War II -- among them Switzerland, Sweden and Portugal -- composed their neutrality day after day"

''Sweden was not neutral, Sweden was weak,'' said Arne Ruth, a Swedish journalist who has written a book on the Third Reich. ''Its sales of iron ore made an important contribution to the German effort. It allowed German troops and weaponry through its territory to Norway. In 1943, its government told the central bank to ignore suspicions that German gold Sweden received was looted."

Shame on you....Sweden !

The Pandemrix vaccine Swedish health authorities used in 2009 to mass vaccinate the population, devastating 470 lives (mostly young persons) with the disease narcolepsy. The proposed indemnities to the affected is a mockery. So it is always with indemnities in this country. A bloody joke and a serious case of state arrogance....

Just for the register....

A survey of the UK's Creative Industries Federation members has shown that 96 per cent are in favor of remaining in the European Union. The UK creative industries deliver a massive £84.1 billion to the British economy.

"No Facebook, indignação, mas cautelas ao vivo!"

Depois da denúncia nas redes sociais, tem sido um dos assuntos do dia em França, como mostram as edições online dos jornais franceses (e o DN também fez eco): a estudante Marie Laguerre, de 22 anos, vinha pelo passeio e cruzou-se com um homem. Este disse-lhe qualquer coisa, ela respondeu, ele atirou-lhe com pequeno cinzeiro de esplanada, ela respondeu, ele foi atrás dela e deu-lhe uma bofetada que a fez levantar os pés do chão e esvoaçar os longos cabelos. Sabemos (vemos, sem palavras) tudo isto pelo vídeo que foi publicado pela agredida no Facebook. As imagens são da câmara de segurança que vigiava a esplanada do bar, em frente à qual a agressão foi feita.

Aconteceu a 24 de julho, ainda havia uma bandeira de França à porta do bar, pela vitória no Mundial de futebol. Foi no Boulevard de la Villette, no bairro XIX, do norte de Paris, onde é frequente as mulheres serem inquietadas por bocas machistas, e mais. Este caso tornou-se famoso quando Marie publicou um post no Facebook com as imagens. A repercussão pode ser medida pelas afirmações da secretária de Estado da Igualdade, Marlène Schiappa, que prometeu medidas mais duras contra as agressões verbais e físicas. Com especial atenção para bairros onde é necessário, disse a governante, fazer-se a "reconquista republicana" (leia-se, lugares onde o viver democrático, sobretudo os direitos das mulheres, não é respeitado).

A troca de palavras conhece-se pela versão da agredida; a agressão física é testemunhada pelas imagens. O abuso causou uma enorme comoção social, que se conta nas redes sociais, como se sabe, pelo número de partilhas, centenas de milhares neste caso. Mas eu quero trazer para aqui uma comoção menos partilhada. Possível de se ver - mas só vendo o vídeo, não basta olhar de soslaio e mais rapidamente clicando.

A câmara fixa mostra-nos o terraço durante 1,17 minutos. Na primeira dúzia de segundos, os dois protagonistas, o agressor e a agressora, nem ainda apareceram, vão cruzar-se logo de seguida no passeio. Aproveitemos parar a imagem para contar quem vai testemunhar a agressão: os clientes na esplanada. São 15 sentados nas mesas da esplanada e um outro cliente que vai sair do bar. Todos jovens, da mesma compleição do agressor, cinco mulheres e onze homens. Onze homens que parecem terem esquecido a bandeira à porta e o que onze homens podem fazer.

Avancemos para a sonora e brutal bofetada. Todos olham. Só um homem se levanta com vontade de fazer frente ao agressor, corre para ele com uma cadeira. Mais três se aproximam mas com gestos apaziguadores. O da cadeira hesita perante a falta de... de... como dizer?, falta de comoção viral. E todos deixam o agressor ir embora.

Van Gogh....or did they meant a Van Damme ?

"The White House asked last year to borrow Van Gogh’s Landscape With Snow (1888) from the Guggenheim’s permanent collection, to hang in the president’s private quarters. Nancy Spector, the museum’s chief curator, politely declined. But she offered ****** and ******* an alternative: Maurizio Cattelan’s interactive work America, which had recently come off public view at the Guggenheim, and was available for a long-term loan. “It is a solid, 18k gold toilet that was installed in one of our public restrooms for all to use in a wonderful act of generosity"."
