Love cosmic Jelaluddin Rumi Persian Sufi born in modern Afghanistan September 30, 1207 and died Dec. 17 in Konya, in modern Turkey, so epsrime ':
' religion 's Love is put into play themselves lost and beyond any religion '
The proposal of this reading of the poetry of Rumi wants to identify three basic
of' hypothetical journey towards the Beloved :
The initial suffering for the lack that leads to his research, the evidence of love and the loss of the usual sense of self as an effect of his presence and, finally, the ecstasy of union as a peerless
joy and reward.
amplify the music and talking with whispers of the poetic to enhancing the universality, the symbolism and the endless movement of rotation about themselves that the research needs of the beloved.
The mosaic and intermittent use of English in addition to and repeat the Italian translation will serve to underline the message that the journey to the Beloved Rumi represents a journey that will take us to a whole life, although the love will always remain a stranger in a strange language ...
These two videos from Youtube made me think a lot ... or rather, made me rethink a lot on Italian television. The ideal is to look in the sequence in which they load, so that we can account for what the television of information in Italy and then of why it is so. Enjoy.
The second is just the first part of this exciting American documentary which, of course, has never spoken in Italy. On Youtube you can find it divided into five parts. Please watch: nothing new, but said in a definitely correct.
Air CIA: from kidnapping and trafficking of cocaine the service is extra luxury
From the Middle East to Latin America, from the ancient beauty of old Europe to the white beaches of the new world, the CIA really seems to be everywhere. At least that is reading the printouts of his jet to fly business class.
from What's Up for March 2009
one curious incident in Mexico, where a marked N987SA Gulfstream jet driven by three Americans crashed in the Yucatan Peninsula reveal a load rather illegal (more than three tons of cocaine) has revealed that the airplane had flown over repeatedly the skies of France, Britain and Ireland, and later dedicated routes to more exotic, like the United States - Cuba, Guantanamo Bay to be precise. This jet will be further mentioned in the list that the Council of Europe evaluated in the investigation into the operations of "extraordinary rendition", that is kidnapping and illegal detention, which the CIA carried out against citizens with suspected terrorist ties. The public, in the case of those European Community surveys were literally kidnapped and deported in secret prisons that the CIA manage countries outside the EU's strict laws, such as Morocco. As happened in the case of Imam Abu Omar in Milan, the victims of these abductions are carried in small airports before being transferred to small private jet in more small prison cells. For Abu Omar the CIA used the base of Aviano, a Learjet 95, Gulfstream very similar to the above, with which the cleric was transferred to a remote village in Egypt. Secret agents, of course, they do not love being seen, let alone travel uncomfortable and, if a little less air in the eye, a business jet class allows a considerable comfort made of leather seats, ample legroom and a mini bar for everyone, including the deportee. For suitcases full of cocaine, and rightly so, it could be argued that comfort can be redundant and advantage of decreased capacity, but hey, it is turned out that the CIA kept on the payroll even an old DC9 Mc Donnell Douglas 45 meters to 55 000 kilograms of payload. I gave up a two riders in 2006, also in Mexico, after a crash landing. Inside were found 5 tons of white powder. Thus, between-class flights and cargo operations of the secret services could prove a significant number of plots "air", but on everything continues to be drawn a veil of silence. In addition to the already well-known privileges enjoyed by the Agency world's most famous, is the recent news that Barack Obama presented himself as an innovator with respect to the grading of the previous Bush administration did not want to give up on the state secret " extraordinary rendition, "though he assured the prisoners will not suffer more torture. At the very least.

In Czechoslovakia in 1977 appeared a manifesto called Charter 77. About 250 artistic personalities, political, philosophical critics of the government and calls for greater respect for human rights. The material of the card writer Vaclav Havel (President elected in 1989), was arrested and served five years in prison. Following that protest, albeit marginally, contributed to the passage of Czechoslovakia by the communist regime to democracy. Sixty years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Washington, 1948) in China, a group of 303 people signed the Charter 08, which, paying tribute to the Czechoslovak document criticizes the current Chinese policy and calls for more human rights in a country notorious for its record of executions annually.
Unlike the 70s in today's China the benefit of the promoters of the Charter 08 is a media that, due to its physical relocation, can be very damaging to a regime like that of President Hu Jintao: the Internet. Within a few months, the document has traveled to blogs and forums, often closed or opposed by the government, and added about 8,000 signatures, dwarfed by the billion and a total of 300 000 Chinese citizens, but should not be underestimated for the composition of the signatories. The names on the document, in fact, are those intellectuals, entrepreneurs, farmers and ordinary citizens, even some government officials. Of all stands to Liu Xiaobo, a famous human rights activist who, like the promoters of the Charter 77, was arrested (and was not the only one), but this time with an amazing sense of timing. Two days before the sixtieth anniversary of the Declaration of human rights activist was taken by police and locked in a secret location on charges of "subversive conspiracy against State security ". But what to call these Chinese citizens and their governments to justify such a negative reaction to this initiative?
The petitioners complain the lack of human rights denied by the State and claim that "government exists for the protection of human rights of its citizens "and continue reiterating a fundamental concept of all the Western democracies: "the exercise of state power must be approved by the people" . And not only that: the separation of powers, the separation between state and religion, guarantees of private property and federalism, are the other key points of the Charter 08. All critical that before any Western ruling class may sound justified, but, unfortunately for them, there is no democracy in China and the rulers call on governments of the immense sacrifices in the name of reason of state that, until now , has secured an unprecedented development and monumental wealth, accumulated in the coffers of the national bank. The recent economic crisis has, however, greatly flawed confidence in a social compact that has been evident unilaterally. The wealth accumulated not only remains in state coffers without being distributed, but the government's own admission, is undergoing heavy layoffs because of the global crisis has also affected the Chinese economy is untouchable and has already led to the dismissal of more than ten million workers. The middle class, the educated, the one with the computer and the one which was based on the consensus of the social compact that gives confidence to the Chinese one-party, began to doubt and wonder whether it is better to react. The Charter 08 did not submit a new proposal for a government, not announcing the birth of a new party and do not profess to violent actions to subvert the established order. In this paper, the citizens are asking their governments to become aware of their existence as human beings and take them into account in the management of power. While eight thousand signatures are nothing value of the Chinese, that have been spread on the Internet gives the opportunity to achieve, even if with difficulty, almost all computer owners.
Vaclav Havel was arrested in 1977 and twelve years later became President. Liu Xiaobo knows that even today can not affect with his work on the life of many Chinese. Still to come out alive from prison.

"Today we are called to a new era of responsibility, awareness, by every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world, duties that do not grudgingly accept, but we welcome with joy, knowing that there is something more pleasing to the spirit, no more annealing for our character, that work hard to resolve a difficult task. "
Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States, celebrated yesterday with a long speech (from Youtube ) his office at the White House. The last eight years behind and the bright sun of the flag that stands on the stars and stripes are the best summary of the speech in which Obama has called the work the American people, aware of the profound economic crisis, but also identity , which is facing his country.
"But I tell you, America will be met" . Instills confidence in the President so because, despite not being spared the kind of protocol with regard to his predecessor George W. Bush, Obama has stressed the worst aspects of last year Americans. a "weakened economy, because of greed and irresponsibility of some" and the tendency to "protect the interests and petty postpone unpleasant decisions" are a perfect critical synthesis of the main activities (or rather inactivity) of Republican governance. So what must we do to reverse this trend, Americans are clamoring for and more. "Starting today, we need to raise us up, dust off, and return to work, to remake America" \u200b\u200b. Obama knows how to answer this question, but the question arises: which to remake America?
In a situation very similar to that found today is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. With his New Deal America seemed to rise from the ashes of the huge crack in the '29 stock market, and from there to a decade, the country would dominate the world after the Second World War. America came where no nation or state or dictator or emperor had never come: from all its decision depended the future of the planet. With the nuclear bomb set a military record, with the Marshall Plan and the economic infused with Hollywood films throughout the world the impression that the U.S. was really the bearers of that ideological primacy of democracy and freedom that has so far scored any American foreign policy.
From Roosevelt was born a signature of the most powerful nation in the world and, even today, despite all the past, Obama said in his inaugural speech: "We remain the richest and most powerful nation on earth" . But, with this in mind, Obama seems to want to draw up its own fundamental values \u200b\u200bof Americans. "The divine promise that all men are created equal, and free, and that everyone is entitled to fully realize their happiness" , said the President, is one of the concepts on which it based the struggle of the American revolutionaries and founding fathers to create the United States. Liberté, Fraternité, Egalité , in other words summarizing the paper signed by George Washington on September 17 1787 in Philadelphia.
But as the French Revolution resolved Terror and the dictatorship of one soldier made it over the remnants of an empire staff, as well as America, with a longer gestation, has created the terror of nuclear war and empire and finance staff of the multinational Liberal and creative led to the economic crisis that has devastated the world.
Just today that we have reached the apex of this historic action, presents a unique opportunity for Obama. The President pointed out that America is "a nation of Christians and Muslims, Hindus and Jews and even non-believers" . We hope you realize that today America is not just the Americans, of whatever race or religion they are, but, because of the location where it was desired to place than the world, it belongs to all peoples of the Earth.
Obama cited a phrase with which Washington then revolutionary army general, addressed the American people before the Battle of Trenton, one of the most significant for independence. "Let the world know ... that in the future heart of winter, when nothing else survived, if no hope and the value ... the city and the countryside, alerted the common danger, came forward to address ".
Well, President Obama, that the future world to know that in the heart of winter, when nothing else survived, except the hope and the value, the West and East, alerted by the common danger, came forward to address it.
Maybe the man in charge of the most powerful nation in the world can not really do something?! As of today no longer a question of Yes we can. Today becomes Can you do it?
