yesterday Dr. Dretakis showed me the view of my mulitple puntiform calcificated mamas in order to identify a more shining nucleo somewhere. "Can you see it"? she said pointing with big lens. "No, but if you see it, I guess it´s OK, you are here for that..." I said. What I saw really was something like an unusual starry night or the negative take on a somehow salitre land ... no less, no more. I tell her that I wasn´t worried for what she showed me in the images but about what the informe said (the necessity of each six months controlls) and the plus of memories of my mother ill from cancer at my same age. "I don´t have a fifteen years old daughter, but I can´t avoid worriying the same", I said, trying to laugh. "Oh, you were fifteen, times of great confrontation and passage, I know... I´m sorry this situation evocates you those times but what you have now have nothing to do what your mom had and it´s nothing serious even though you have a complex mamas, so don´t worry!" she said with a beatific smile. "Nevertheless, we´ll do an amplificated mammography now, we won´t wait six months, si?" she added. So..., welcome again to preemptive medicine world... an amazing experience on non-dual thought challenges to keep exploring in the future years...! (arrghhh!)

we already had our almost three days of summer-darkness in the building since wednesday until this morning (half of the building without electric light & all the building without lifts, cable & internet). That´s when the building machine begins to feel like a mix of a medieval aldea, a conventillo and the Ingalls ...

[the mingo]

No internet? OMG! The purest torture ever invented to bedevil the mind of man !!

[Arcadia]

yeah ...! we had several other electric cuts in these days, but at the moment the big monster it´s functioning near "normal" again...!

[Arcadia]

it´s a fact that we as humans keep doing sometimes silly things despite our own good, why not states? we may wonder ... But the idea that Israel consciously provoqued an autoatentado in the AMIA ´94 bombing just sounds too much (at least for me) ... I also skipped "AMIA, la mentira oficial" by Christian Sanz and Fernando Paolella (on pdf format on the net) ...

our congress in discussing this week the aprobation of a memorandum with Iran that according with canciller Timerman will help to reopen the AMIA caso and question the sospechosos ... the Jewish associations here (AMIA, DAIA) are against it.

http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultim ... 02-13.html

I tried to listen to the debate after having lunch today for a while but I got asleep at the moment when they were discussing if a memorandum is equal to a tratado ...

It´s not a funny thing to make a time voyage to the hidden late eighties and '90 around the Israel emabajada and the AMIA atentados, I guess...(Menem, Duhalde, the drugs, the arms, Al Kassar, Amira Yoma´s denuncias, Bush, Carlitos Menem´s death, the tres fronteras, the Syrian trail,the argentine link, broken tratados, nuclear research, the Hezbollah, the Lebanon, Iran, Peru-Ecuador war, the Croatas, what a mix ...!)... and now the "narcosocialists" are in the Santa Fe Government and all the rest it´s only Kirchnerland?? ... damn!

"ensure due process"
Además, enfatizó que la Argentina "garantizará el debido proceso" del caso, pero explicó que será el juez quien "determine el carácter legal o procesal del acto indagatorio".

The United States can do things because we are the good guys, we are God's chosen people. So we can kill people anywhere from afar. I been trying to get my head around that.

Sorry nothing to do with your post the bit about due process got me thinking about this.

of course I think it´s terrible the way your country takes security and justice in their arms ... Our canciller refered somehow to that yesterday without "making names" answering to one senator that objected the memorandum saying something like... "what do you want? that I do nothing? or that I go to other country and kill the sospechosos?"

I don´t know, maybe our government is doing the right thing suddenly focusing on investigating -after 19 years- the iranians (I wonder why not the Syrians now, as long as nobody will defend Al-Assad at the moment... no pruebas, maybe?), who knows...?. What I do know is that our government is lying and manipulating things inside our territory in each time more topics at this moment plus they were/are? part of the peronista bag (from wich we had Menem as president among other things)... how can I really trust them?. I can´t, at least now. Even though, I wish the best in their efforts for the good of all of us and specially of the familiares of the dead ones.

some links about the repercusiones around the aprobation of the memorandum yesterday (it´ll be discussed again in the Senate next week).

I don't lose any sleep over it. I just feel lonely, a way fairing stranger in this strange land. That uncanny feeling I mentioned before.

it sounds somehow poetic, s-t..!

Changing subjects, yeah, it looks like a big mess (it seems it´s a sign of the times... ) but I guess it´s good news that Ratzinger resigned!. After all, the Catholic Church it´s like the football club you were told to be part when you were a child, even tough the club is the the B serie, you have no idea what it´s really happening now and you don´t follow the partidos it´s good to know that maybe they will change for good...!

he come down hard on the american nuns, I am glad to see him go, he gave a creepy feeling. you said something about the church how they tell you the good things first when you were a child.

they tell us the good things
lonely children in a spiritual waste land that is the usa today, life in a messianic democracy,

Santayana saw the claw of satan reaching out to kill the Idea of god in a child.

[Arcadia]

well, I wish the cardinals avoid electing the argentine candidato for Pope!. I guess it will be too much for the end of the world...!

AMIA atentado & acuerdo with Iran is debated or something like that in the Congreso today:

The United States of America, I hardly knew ya.

[Arcadia]

yeah, how old is Kissinger??? ( it seems Charly García´s song "Dinosaurios" somehow don´t apply to him... ). I´ll listen the audio later, now I have to work at home despite I´m on strike.

& the malestar here nowadays is mostly around the inflación, the inseguridad, the narcotraficantes, the Malvinas and the iranies ...

Chavez died ... ( (at this point it was previsible, though...). I don´t imagine him resting, so I´ll wish him just good luck! . I wish also peace, solidarity, justice & prosperity to his dear people of Venezuela.

I didn´t read this as a Maduro´s autovictimization, I think it´s quite verosímil and maybe even true ... let´s hope these kind of attempts don´t increase with time ...:
