In Venezuela, the lack of electricity and fuel is among the main challenges faced by the country’s population, according to local economists. The Venezuelan Association of Electrical, Mechanical and Related Professionals (AVIEM) noted that over the last 20 years, “Venezuela was a fully electrified country (97% coverage) and had a robust system that was an example in Latin America. Now, it lives dealing with an electrical system in operational collapse, deteriorated, difficult to recover”, according to recent information from the German broadcaster DW. Venezuelan economist Daniel Cardenas, professor of macroeconomics at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV) and the Metropolitan University of Caracas, tells BBC News Brasil that oil production between 2021 and 2022 increased from 300,000 barrels per day to around 700,000 barrels per day. However, this number is nothing compared to production in the 1990s, when the country produced more than 3 million barrels a day.

El directivo de la Asociación Venezolana de Ingeniería Eléctrica (#Aviem), Rafael Rodríguez, aseguró que para reconstruir el sistema eléctrico nacional se tardaría unos siete años para lograr la estabilidad en el servicio que el país tenía hace más de una década. El especialista dijo que la solución se resume en un programa de mantenimiento permanente que requerirá de grandes inversiones y en la que se incluye la capacitación de personal.  #Sosvenezuela #sistemaelectrico #crisiselectrica #nohayluz #sinluz #sinagua #sincomida #sinmedicinas #sincobertura #sosvenezuela #vivavenezuela #SosVzla #Venezuela #venezuelalibre https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv_3U6XlE0F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=adfdd6mhq37t

[feathersforclones]

Background

Korbinian:

This man has an air of innocence about him. 

His slanted eyes are tangerine-colored.

He has shoulder-length, slightly bed-head, chestnut hair with two braids framing his face. In between his hair are feathers in a rusty color, they grow on him and it hurts to rip one or two out, but like hair, they will grow again. His form is very slender. He has prominent cheekbones.

He has a natural connection to many animals, so they even want to adopt him. Or steal him away, which is always very fun for Mesmer - NOT! Korbinian is the old Padawan of Master Plo Koon and even adopted him as something of a Flockleader.

Federling and Planet:

Korbinian belongs to a race of sub-humans, the "Federling"s, a race of human look alikes with slightly elongated ears, sharp eyes and some bird features. The diversity in the features is vast, ranging from feathers to clawed feet to feathers on normal skin, scales on arms and legs and so on. Some ancient myths even talk about Sirens and Harpies living in the mountains curtailing the only ocean on the planet. The Planet "Aviem" is mostly a rocky terrain, but with forests and many lakes. There is only one ocean. Multiple mountainranges sit on the planet. There is only one big rainstorm for harvests and such and it never ends, always wandering in one big storm over the surface of the planet, giving water and life to everything it drifts over, but also devastation through the sheer masses of water. Federling need and are dependent on social connections, the attachements the Jedi always preach against. But because he needs it to survive, it is allowed for him to form loose attachments to others. They need a "flock" and even mark their mates, brothers and sisters. For this race, the family you choose yourself is much more important than the family you are born into. (You can't help to whom you are born, you can choose your family and that means so much more) Federling are proficcient in medical things, very good healer, surgeons and scientists. Most work in that area. But there are many wood workers, stone carvers and hunters as well. If they don't have to, Federling don't fight much.

History: Korbinian had it tough when he was young, no one from his blood family could really bond with him, so he was borderline sick before a travelling Jedi found him and brought him before the Jedi Council. Federling Jedi are far and few in between but happen sometimes, so Korbinian got accepted into the Temple and years later became the Padawan of Master Plo. A few years before the Clone Wars, Korbinian got knighted and works more as a travelling healer and guardian than anything else. He gets send when a deep connection with the force is needed. Korbinian has a deep connection with the force, he is excelling in healing others (not himself) and sensing. He is good with a lighsaber, but would really like to not use it. He much prefers to use the force, because it just sings in his blood.

Believe:

He is more a gray Jedi, even prefers the old code but would never say something against other believes out loud.

His Commando:

Mesmer:

Mesmer is one of the clones that he rescued, fished him right out of a raging river and then named the poor and half frozen Shiny after the clones slightly different eyes, because they are mesmerizing. Later he gifts Mesmer with one of his feathers, claiming him into his flock. Mesmer went straight to a tattoo artist and now a tattoo of the feather in rust, brown and red colors sits above his right eye. Poor Mesmer has his hands full with the naive General. Always hunting him down, always explaining social cues, always wishing for a leash or at least a tracker on his new "brother" or "Feathermate"/"Feathersibling". Mesmer specialises in Tracking and Guarding roles and he is the first of the small commando group of 4 clones, all rescuees from Korbinian.

Kin:

Kin (from Kintsugi) is the second rescuee from Korbinian. He got left for dead on a small battlefield, lost his main hand and covered in open wounds from shrapnel and Korbinian found him. It took Korbinian a few weeks before Kin could be left alone again with his injuries. Some Generals were discussing sending him back to Kamino for other duties or even to get disposed off, bur Korbinian put his foot down and argued against everyone. Even went so far to hiss and crackle at the Council. Korbinian took Kin to his home planet for surgical procedures, so he could have his hand back. There Kin got his scars tattooed in gold and silver, giving him his Name. After Korbinian claimed him into the flock, he even got the same feather tattoo as Mesmer, only his is in gold and bronze tones and curves over his right jaw.

Kin specialises in Guard roles and even as support.

Trump pardons Israeli officer who recruited spy Pollard

Trump pardons Israeli officer who recruited spy Pollard

In his final hours in office, outgoing US President Donald Trump issued a full pardon to Aviem Sella today, an Israeli Air Force colonel who was indicted by a US federal grand jury in 1987 for espionage. Sella recruited Jonathan Pollard, who spied on America and passed US intelligence secrets to Israel. Sella, 75, fled after Pollard was arrested in 1985. Sentenced in 1987 to life imprisonment…

John Kiriakou _ _spent 14 years at the CIA as an analyst and case officer, exposed the Bush-era torture program, was the only official jailed in connection with it. Kiriakou was reportedly told he could secure a presidential pardon from Trump for $2 million. His memoir is titled Doing Time Like a Spy: How the CIA Taught Me to Survive and Thrive in Prison.

CIA Whistleblower: Biden Intel Pick Avril Haines Approved Obama Drone Strike Kill List, Hid Torture

JOHN KIRIAKOU: I’ve been in very close touch over the last couple of weeks with people around Julian and people on his legal team, and we’ve been trying to read the tea leaves relative to the British court’s decision not to extradite him to the United States. That’s being appealed right now. And, you know, you hear things both ways. For example, when you read the judge’s ruling, until the very end, it looks like Julian is just getting clobbered in this ruling. The judge essentially agreed with everything that the Justice Department said, and then, at the very end of the ruling, said that because Julian suffers from depression and is suicidal, that sending him to the United States, where he would be subject to solitary confinement, which the U.N. has declared to be a form of torture, would push him over the edge. So, the ruling was great. The reasoning leading up to the ruling was not so great. And now the Justice Department is appealing.

The rumor that I heard was that perhaps the Biden people reached out to the British and said, “Look, we wouldn’t be terribly upset if this thing were to just go away.” And then we got the great ruling. Well, now it’s being appealed. So, what happens if he loses the appeal? Even if he wins the appeal, if there’s no pardon or commutation — and so far there isn’t — what’s to keep the British from expelling him to Australia and then the Justice Department just asking the Australians to extradite him all over again? So, really, the only way we can end this whole thing for Julian is through a presidential action. It has to be a pardon or a commutation.

AMY GOODMAN: And people can go to democracynow.org to see the speech of Nils Melzer, who was the U.N. special rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. He visited Julian Assange at the Belmarsh prison.

Finally, John Kiriakou, what happens to this money, the millions of dollars they are raking in? Is it Giuliani? Is it going to some bank account for Trump when he leaves, like the hundreds of millions of dollars he raised after the election lying about election fraud? Who tracks this money?

JOHN KIRIAKOU: Ah, that’s a good question. And the answer is that nobody tracks this money. This money goes directly into the pockets of the lobbyists and the lawyers who charged it.

You know, there was a terrific article in The New York Times about six months ago talking about Rudy Giuliani’s fourth divorce. And in the course of discovery, The New York Times learned that Rudy is a member of 16 different country clubs. And he told the court that he needs $7 million a year to maintain his current lifestyle and to pay his dues at 16 separate country clubs.

And so, how’s he going to do that? He’s going to do it by gouging as many people as he possibly can. Rudy is not a stupid guy. He knew that the moment that Donald Trump walked out of the White House to get on that plane and fly back to Florida, that his career was finished, because now nobody is going to pay Rudy Giuliani anything. He’s done. “

Profiting from Pardons: Giuliani Aide Told CIA Whistleblower a Trump Pardon Would Cost $2 Million

Trump has so far rejected calls to pardon WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange or NSA whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Reality Winner.

Meanwhile, Trump pardoned Israeli spy Aviem Sella, who was indicted in 1987 of recruiting U.S. naval intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard to sell secrets to Israel.

This all comes as more details emerge about how allies of Trump have personally profited from people seeking pardons. The New York Times reports an associate of Rudy Giuliani told CIA torture whistleblower John Kiriakou a pardon is, quote, “going to cost $2 million.” Kiriakou declined the offer, but he did pay $50,000 to a former top Trump campaign adviser for help in his quest to secure a pardon.

Well, to talk more about the pardon system, we are joined by John Kiriakou himself, who is still seeking a pardon. Kiriakou served 23 months in prison after he exposed the CIA’s torture program.

Trump's last-minute pardons include Bannon, Lil Wayne and scores of others

Trump's last-minute pardons include Bannon, Lil Wayne and scores of others

The batch of 73 pardons and 70 commutations issued in the final hours of his presidency was expected, and is in keeping with a long-standing presidential tradition of exercising clemency powers at the last minute.

The list reflected a President keen on awarding pardons to his stalwart allies, an unusual number of whom have been swept up in corruption or lying charges.

The vast majority of the pardons and commutations on Trump’s list were doled out to individuals whose cases have been championed by criminal justice reform advocates, including people serving lengthy sentences for low-level offenses.

But several controversial names do appear, including Steve Bannon, who has pleaded not guilty to charges he defrauded donors in a “We Build the Wall” online fundraising campaign.

Bob Zangrillo, the Miami developer and venture capitalist charged in the Varsity Blues college admission scandal, also received a pardon. None of the other parents caught up in the probe were pardoned.

Though neither Trump or members of his family were included on his list, Trump has until noon on Wednesday to issue any final pardons before leaving office.

Last-minute scramble

Trump’s final acts of clemency come after a scramble in recent days among criminal justice reform advocates and several White House officials to finalize the list and convince Trump to approve the actions. These pardons will undoubtedly be overshadowed by the slew of controversial ones Trump also issue in the same final batch on Tuesday.

While outgoing presidents typically issue pardons before leaving office, Trump has proven more willing to use his pardon power to brazenly reward political loyalty, the wealthy and well-connected and those who did not cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

The January 6 riots that led to Trump’s second impeachment have complicated his desire to pardon himself, his kids and personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and a source close to the process said those are no longer expected.

After the riot, advisers encouraged Trump to forgo a self-pardon because it would appear like he was guilty of something, according to one person familiar with the conversations. Several of Trump’s closest advisers have also urged him not to grant clemency to anyone involved in the siege on the US Capitol, despite Trump’s initial stance that those involved had done nothing wrong.

Refocus on pardons

After weeks focusing on contesting the election and reeling from the fallout of the January 6 insurrection, Trump finally snapped back to attention on pardons in recent days, one source said.

“You couldn’t get the President to focus on this,” a source close to the process said of Trump in recent weeks. “And then this weekend, he didn’t have his Twitter, he didn’t have all these other distractions.”

Trump, who sank deeper into lame duck status in recent weeks, was reminded that his pardon power is one of the remaining undiminished aspects of his presidential power.

This source said Trump also resonated with cases in which individuals who went to trial got significantly more prison time than co-defendants who cooperated with law enforcement.

“I don’t think he likes when people get screwed just because they go to trial,” this source said.

While Jared Kushner has been closely involved in pardons throughout his time at the White House, this source said that Ivanka Trump became much more closely involved in the push for pardons in recent days.

Together, Kushner and Ivanka Trump worked with the White House counsel’s office and Justice Department while also working to convince Trump to support a series of clemency actions in the vein of criminal justice reform.

After meetings this weekend, Trump met again with his daughter, son-in-law and other White House officials on Monday to finalize the list of clemency actions.

Copacul cu haine și omul lui Dumnezeu de la Parparnița

Aproape 6 ore de drum dus și alte 6, întors, în aceeași zi, după ce ziua de dinainte s-au strâns donațiile voastre la Copacul cu haine din Cișmigiu: alimente, rechizite, produse de igienă și jucării. 

A fost un drum lung și greu până la Parpanița (Vaslui), pentru că n-a funcționat aerul condiționat, așa că am ajuns chiauni și morți de cald.

Oprim mașina odată cu cea a preotului, care ne-a ieșit în cale. Ne salutăm, ne strângem mâinile, preotul se duce să vadă dacă încape mașina pe acel drum în pantă și scurt, iar din curtea de lângă mine iese o femeie.

Ci-i aici? Ci si audi? Cini o vinit?

Deschide poarta și iese în drum: Aaaaa, o venit ajutoarili, ne-a zis părintili dimineațî la slujbî cî vini șineva, dar nu știa cini nici el. Ci faciți aici? Ați vinit pi la noi?

Și bătrâna începe să turuie, drept pentru care și eu îi fac niște poze.

Vai di mini, da' nu-s îmbrăcatî di pozi, doamna ziaristî.

Eu nu înțeleg, că nu am zis la nimeni de acolo că-s ziaristă, insă părintele Mihai îmi spune, mai târziu, cum s-a prins ea: aveți aparatul foto la gât.

"Da' ci părinti bun aviem! Ni ajutî tătdeauna, nu ni lasî nișiodatî la greu. O făcut acolo sus la bisărîcă locul așela di oamenii săraci primesc di tăti. Uitați, o vinit fii-ca me azi-dimineațî la mini. Zici: di ci țîi frijidieru' gol? Pentru cî n-am și sî pun îl el. Eu fac oleacî di mâncari în fiecare zi,  că n-am cum mai mult, o împart cu veșinu' meu, cari-i olog șî, gata, s-o terminat".

Și povestește, și povestește, eu o ascult cu o ureche și mă uit în curtea sărăcăcioasă, dar curată. De fapt, tot satul Parpanița e curat, chit că acolo sărăcia e la mama ei acasă. Paparnița e un sat ce aparține orașului Negrești, cel mai sărac oraș din țară.

Adevărul adevărat e că eu nu l-am anunțat pe preot că vin la Parpanița, până sâmbătă seara, prin intermediari, că nu prindeam semnal. Am tot sunat, însă n-am avut noroc să-l prind, zilele de dinainte, așa că am zis că mă duc și gata.

Am ajuns cu vreo 2 ore mai târziu, pentru că s-au mișcat greu cele 2 dube pline de donații. Așa că nu am prins copiii din sat, la centru, dar fuseseră dimineață și avuseseră activități educative. Părintele Mihai însă le-a făcut poze și mi le-a dat și mie.

Părintele Paraschiv Mihai de la Parpanița e un om cald. Din prima te cucerește, vorbește blajin și e modest. Povestește cum a început, cum a continuat, cum încearcă să facă mai multe. Dar e nevoie de bani, nu? Îl întreb eu. Da...

Când a primit niște sute de sandale de la un văr din străinătate, s-a gândit ce și cum să facă cu ele. De dat prin sat n-avea cui, așa că a făcut ce a făcut și le-a v��ndut și s-a ales cu 7000 de lei. Uite așa a început centrul social. De jos, câte un pic.

Băieții și cei chemați de preot descarcă cele 2 dube și urcă donațiile în sala de mese. Sala de mese se umple ochi. Părintele Mihai intră și rămâne blocat: Doamne, nimeni nu ne-a mai adus atâtea donații odată! Mai donează oamenii, dar să se umple camera asta, niciodată!

Eu răsuflu rușinată. N-am avut bani decât de 2 transporturi de 3.5 tone fiecare, mă rog, pentru că un drum dus-întors costă 400 de lei pentru o dubă. Oricum, eu atât și preconizasem că se vor strânge alimente, rechizite și produse de igienă. Doar că am adunat 5 dube, așa că mai împărțim și altor comunități, săptămâna asta și cealaltă.  

Părintele Paraschiv Mihai mă duce să văd Centrul social. Intrăm în bibliotecă, unde sunt vreo 7000 de cărți. Donate, îmi spune el, de la tot felul de oameni. Aici, copiii vin să citească. Pe jos sunt 5 ghiozdane. Atât am putut să fac, mai e nevoie de încă vreo 95. V-am adus eu, îi spun, cu tot cu rechizite. Părintele Mihai se bucură ca un copil, în timp ce îmi arată foile scrise de copiii care merg la școală, pe care se regăsesc rechizitele de care au nevoie.

Cealaltă cameră, mare, de fapt, podul e amenajat ca o adevărată sală de conferințe. Ba, mai mult, e și un mic muzeu cu tot felul de obiecte tradiționale, icoane vechi și cărți vechi, de pe la 1800. 

Paraschiva ne face o cafea. Paraschiva e o tânără care a întrerupt școala la un moment dat, dar părintele Paraschiv Mihai de la Parpanița a avut grijă să o determine să termine liceul. L-a terminat și nu numai că l-a terminat, ci a intrat și la Facultatea de Medicină Iași, cu media peste 9. Despre ea vă mai povestesc eu, în curând, căci m-am decis să mă întorc cu Ceasul bun din Starea nației.

Terminăm de descărcat, iar părintele ține musai să ne ducă să vedem 2 locuri. Biserica nouă, construită din lemn pe locul vechii mănăstiri, unde vrea să construiască niște chilii. Chilii pentru stările de urgență, pentru cei care rămân fără case, de exemplu, dacă se întâmplă vreo tragedie să ia foc casa cuiva, să aibă unde sta.

Părintele povestește cu patima pe care o simt și eu când vreau să fac lucruri. Cu patimă și drag, la fel cum povestește de oamenii din sat, mai ales despre cei care sunt voluntari la Centrul social Parparnița. Îi pare bine că Paraschiva pleacă la facultate, însă e îngrijorat că n-are deocamdată cine să îi țină locul. Ea era aici mereu și știe tot ce trebuie și cum trebuie.

Plecăm apoi la o casă din sat. Intrăm pe poartă și dăm de o casă, de fapt, de pereții unei care aflată în construcție. În spatele ei, o căsuță mică, mică, din chirpici, crăpată și lipită cu lut peste tot. Pe prispă, o bătrână, în curtea mică, aleargă 2 copii. Aflu că bătrâna i-a crescut, mama lor a plecat de acasă. Întorc capul, dau de tată. Câți copii aveți? 8, dar acasă au rămas 2.

E-o sărăcie în aer, de mai că te ia în brațe. Intru în căsuța în care miroase a fum, încerc să-mi dau seama ce au de mâncare...

Pereții din beton ai casei începute sunt opera preotului, care vrea să o pună pe picioare. Și aici e nevoie de alți bani, nu-i așa? Așa e. Și îi aveți? Nu, ce-am avut până acum, s-a ridicat...

N-avem timp să stăm prea mult, suntem obosiți și trebuie să ne întoarcem în București, dar eu îi promit părintelui Mihai că mă întorc în curând.

Eu am făcut o pagină de FB Centrului de zi Paparnița. Pentru că nu are, pentru că preotul e modest, pentru că are treabă, pentru că alte o mie de proiecte în cap și trebuie să găsească soluții.

Iar aici aveți contul centrului, cu rugămintea ca, atunci când donați, oricât puteți, să menționați pentru ce donați: copii, bătrâni, centru, biserică, chilii ori construcție casă.

CONT: RO49 RZBR 0000 0600 1184 2435, Parohia Parpaniţa, oraş Negreşti, județul Vaslui.

Altfel, salutări de la toată echipa Copacul cu haine. Vă mulțumim!

Fata cu copaci la cap

PS - Fotografiile de sâmbătă de la Copac, restul de la Parpanița și ce vom mai face găsiți pe pagina de FB.

Des pannes de courant sans fin, le scénario qui se dessine pour le Venezuela
