Dicono che sia il secondo lavoro più antico del mondo, di sicuro negli ultimi 20 anni ha avuto un boom di fatturato. È il mestiere del mercenario e la ditta per cui lavorano sono società di sicurezza. Si tratta di decine di migliaia di soldati capaci, a seconda dei casi, di addestrare, proteggere o combattere. Ma il vantaggio della privatizzazione è soprattutto nella nebbia. Pochi controlli pubblici e contratti senza appalto. I soldati a noleggio sono i co.co.co. della guerra, licenziabili a fine contratto e senza problemi di reinserimento a carico del bilancio pubblico. Gli Stati esternalizzano sempre di più il lavoro sporco nei conflitti: costa meno e non li espone politicamente, perché questi soldati non indossano divise. Nella definizione di David Isenberg del Peace Research Institute di Oslo i moderni soldati di ventura colmano il gap tra gli obbiettivi geopolitici e gli strumenti che il pubblico può accettare. Quando muore uno di loro è un incidente sul lavoro, quando muore un milite in divisa è un dramma nazionale. I casi di violenza e violazione delle regole internazionali non si contano.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of that frightening day when students protesting in the Tlatelolco plaza of the Three Cultures were attacked by the Mexican government. Much of it was covered up until recently. Yet there's still no justice for the victims 50 years later... Carlos Fuente "... at Tlatelolco, the plaza of the three cultures. Tlatelolco the same place where Pedro De Alvarado (a Spanish conquistador and one of Hernan Cortes' top lieutenants) had massacred the Aztecs in 1521." #tlatelolco #tlatelolco68 #mexicolindoyquerido #masacredetlatelolco #mexicanhistory #knowyourroots l #lovethyneighbor #rememberthepast #historyrepeatsitself #pedrodealvarado #hernancortes #gustavodiazordaz #guerrasucia #dirtywar #1968olympics #olimpiadas1968 #yearofrevolution #vivalarevolucion #libertad #igualidad #nosliberamos #amorrevolucionario (at National Museum of Mexican Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/BocSCiGnPbd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jpmtbep2dpuq

It has been called the "Silent Holocaust," but its survivors are unafraid to speak out.
More than 20 years after Guatemala’s civil war ended in 1996, civilians are still advocating for justice after the genocide that killed hundreds of thousands of Maya people. Guatemala’s military launched a campaign targeting Maya, claiming they were allies to guerrilla forces known as the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity.
Guatemalan photojournalist Roderico Díaz was 6 years old when the war uprooted his life. In 1982, Díaz and his family fled the coffee plantation where they worked to escape being killed.
“Of course that had a really strong impact on our family. We had to leave our house, we had to leave all our possessions behind and we were violently displaced," Díaz said. "It also meant that members of my family were forcibly disappeared, and we’re still looking for those people. Five years ago, we were actually able to find a nephew of mine and luckily he was still alive. We thought that he was dead and he thought that we were dead, but five years ago we found him.”
Thousands of other Guatemalans weren’t as fortunate. During the genocide, the Guatemalan military destroyed more than 600 villages, killed or “disappeared” more than 200,000 people and displaced an estimated 1.5 million others.

At the Branigan Cultural Center, Díaz with the help of translator Emily Rhyne, showcased his photographs of civilians affected by the massacres. His work is filled with images of families holding pictures of lost loved ones. Díaz said the search for justice is what initially inspired him to begin his career as a photojournalist.
“I was involved with that before, but then it was also learning about the other realities that are occurring in Guatemala: inequality, poverty, and it reminds me of how I grew up,” Díaz said.
Díaz said after the civil war ended with the signing of Peace Accords in 1996, he saw indigenous communities violently evicted from their lands.
“And I wanted to be able find proof, or show proof of what was happening, to be able to show what was happening from my own perspective, literally from my own eyes through the camera," Díaz said. "The lives of people are not respected even though the lives of these people represent thousands of years of indigenous culture, so I wanted to be able to document what was happening in Guatemala.”
One of the most impactful stories Díaz said he covered was the 2013 trial of former dictator José Efraín Ríos Montt, the country’s president during the height of the killings in the early 1980s.
“I was there for more than two months every day documenting the trial, and it was what made me even more committed to the work as a documentarian," Díaz said. "It was just the opportunity to be there, to hear the testimonies, and to see that there was a little bit of justice being achieved in Guatemala. To be part of that event, to be part of documenting the images and archives that can serve future generations. It was a very inspiring time and it’s made me even more committed to this work."
Although Ríos Montt was found guilty on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity, the conviction was annulled and the trial reset. Ríos Montt was diagnosed with senile dementia in 2015 and declared mentally incompetent for the retrial in 2017. Díaz said he hopes people will remember the victims of the massacres through his work.
“What I want people to know is that behind each of these difficult stories there’s a human being working to build a more just society whether that’s through asking for justice or working towards justice or defending their natural resources, defending their land. Behind each of these stories there’s a human being fighting every day for justice, and I want people to understand that more human part of the stories,” Díaz said.
Díaz’ photography is featured in the exhibit, “Defending Truth and Memory: The Path Towards Justice in Guatemala.” It is on display through June at the New Mexico State University Museum in Kent Hall. His work is also online at rodediaz.com.

KRONOS QUARTET AND DAVID KRAKAUER Osvaldo Golijov: The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind
I have this image of my great-grandfather, who shared my bedroom when I was seven. I'd wake up and see him by the window, praying with his #phylacteries in the early light. I think of him always praying, or fixing things, his pockets full of screws. I remember thinking, three of his children are dead; how does he still pray? Why does he still fix things? But we were taught that #God had assigned that task of repairing the world to the #Jewish people— Tikkun Olam. Incomprehensible.
About eight hundred years ago, Isaac the Blind—who was the greatest #Kabbalist rabbi of Provence, France —dictated a #manuscript saying that everything in the universe, all things and events, are products of combinations of the Hebrew alphabet's letters.
The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind is a kind of epic, a history of #Judaism. It has Abraham, exile, and redemption. The movements sound like they are in three of the languages spoken in almost 6,000 years of Jewish history: the first in #Aramaic; the second in #Yiddish; and the third in #Hebrew. I never wrote it with this idea in mind, and only understood it when the work was finished. But while I was composing the second movement, for example, my father would sit out on the deck with the newspaper, the sports pages, and, every once in a while, he would shout, "There you go! Another Yiddish chord!"
In the prelude, the music is like a celestial #accordion, rising and falling like breathing, like praying...like air...then the air is transformed into a pulse and heart.
The whole first movement is a heartbeat that accelerates wildly...becoming frantic. It's built on a single chord, rotating like a monolith. The Quartet obsesses in eighth notes, the #clarinet starts a huge line in long notes, but zooms in and is caught up in the gravitational spin. The forces of #God and man, they never unite, but they do commune; you can hear the dybbuk and the shofar, searching for a revelation that is always out of reach.
The second movement opens with a hesitating, irregular pulse, a skipping heartbeat, the rhythm of #death. The #violin and the clarinet hold forth in monologue at the same time, like those The Bashevis Singers stories told in a poorhouse on a winter night. The same four notes, the same theme, playing in endless combinations.
Kronos is an #accordion in the prelude, a klezmer band in the second movement; now, in the third movement, it's a shepherd's magic flute. The last movement was written before all the others. It's an instrumental version of K'VAKARAT, a work that I wrote a few years ago for Kronos and Cantor Misha Alexandrovich. In this final movement, hope is present but out of reach. There is a question woven into the hardening, inescapable pulse: why this task? Repairing a world forever breaking down, pockets full of screws. The question remains unanswered in the postlude.
— Osvaldo Golijov
Excerpts from a conversation With Brook Gladstone, October/1996.
Osvaldo Golijov grew up in La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina during the #DirtyWar. He lived in Jerusalem, Israel for three years before moving to the United States in 1986, and now lives in Newton, Massachusetts.

This quote comes from Smedley Butler's book, War is a Racket. His book was published in 1935 and it made it clear that corporate interests were dictating our foreign policies. Butler openly explained that his war efforts had propped up brutal right-wing dictators for the benefit of crony capitalists. Not much has changed since then. Now, the contracts for war are considerably more lucrative and the military industrial complex has more power than ever. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #war #military #militaryindustrialcomplex #corruption #corrupt #peace #smedleybutler #marine #marines #combat #corporation #corporations #lobbyists #lobbying #lobbyist #battle #propaganda #lies #falseflag #fakenews #wars #battle #battles #imperialism #imperialist #dictatorship #dictator #dictators #latinamerica #Caribbean #intervention #coup #coups #rightwing #revolution #revolutionary #CIA #cronycapitalism #cronycapitalist #cronycapitalists #exploit #exploitation #death #deaths #dirtywar #dirtywars #rebels #smedleybutler #General

Visited this this insanely beautiful place with a dark history, tree lined avenues and hundreds of birds sing ( while crapping on the floor). The #SpaceforMemory and the Promotion and Defense of #HumanRights is the name since 2004 of premises in #BuenosAires which until 1998 was the #TheSchoolofNavalMechanics (ESMA) , it was used as one of the main clandestine detention centers by the last civic-military dictatorship that ruled #Argentina between 1976 and 1983, otherwise known as the #dirtywar . The large site now functions with the aim of preserving memory and promoting and defending human rights . #...
