"Admito que hoy me derrumbé por completo. Lloré sin control. No pude contenerme después de presenciar con mis propios ojos lo que vi. Hoy, fuimos a filmar un reportaje periodístico dentro de las tiendas de desplazados a lo largo de la costa. Lo juro, lo que presenciamos superaba lo que cualquier ser humano debería tener que soportar. Vi a hombres llorando amargamente. Hombres a los que nunca había visto llorar cuando perdieron a sus hijos o cuando sus hogares fueron destruidos. Hoy, los vi llorar porque eran impotentes para hacer lo más simple: proteger a sus hijos del agua y del frío. Hablamos con familias que nos contaron que habían pasado toda la noche cargando a sus hijos en brazos después de que el agua de la inundación cubriera los suelos de sus tiendas y empapara sus colchones. No pudieron encontrar un solo lugar seco para poner a sus hijos. Ni siquiera pudieron darles unas pocas horas de sueño. Vi a niños de no más de cinco años, sin ropa adecuada para protegerlos del frío, sin calefacción y sin un lugar seco para dormir. Niños temblando dentro de tiendas que no pueden mantener fuera la lluvia, protegerlos del viento ni brindarles ni siquiera la sensación más básica de seguridad. ¿Qué más tiene que pasar para que este mundo actúe? ¿Cuánto más sufrimiento deben soportar las personas antes de que alguien recuerde que son seres humanos? Estoy harto de este mundo. Estoy harto de su hipocresía y sus lemas vacíos. Que se joda un mundo que habla sin cesar de derechos humanos mientras deja que los niños se ahoguen dentro de sus tiendas. Que se jodan todos los que han presenciado este sufrimiento y han elegido el silencio, y que se jodan los gobiernos y las instituciones que tienen el poder de actuar pero siguen dándonos la espalda."

I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes. Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure. I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold. We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep. I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety. What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings? I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.

People wonder why I'm so obsessed with donkeys. I've looked into it, and my only finding is that the rest of you are underdoing it. The donkey was built for the ground where everything else gives up. It lives on thorn and scrub that a horse would starve beside, climbs rock on hooves like chisels, cools itself through those ears, and can lose nearly a third of its body weight in water, carry on eating, then drink 25 litres in three minutes and walk off as if nothing happened. We tamed it 7,000 years ago in the dry country of East Africa, and it has been the animal of the hard places ever since. So it was the donkey, long before the horse, that carried civilisation on its back. One of Egypt's first pharaohs was buried at Abydos with ten donkeys laid in graves beside him, every spine worn from a lifetime under loads. The grain, the salt, the copper and the news of the ancient world moved at a donkey's pace, and wherever a hill is still too steep for a wheel, they still do. The same animal fed our babies. Donkey milk is the closest milk on earth to a human mother's, Hippocrates prescribed it, and the foundling hospital in Paris kept a stable of jennies so the orphans could be put straight to the udder. A fair share of Europe's abandoned children owe their first month to a donkey, and most of those donkeys carry a dark cross down the back and across the shoulders, which the old story says was given to them on Good Friday. It carried our wounded too. On the beach at Gallipoli a stretcher-bearer from South Shields found a stray donkey, and for 24 days the two of them walked up and down Shrapnel Gully under fire bringing broken men down to the boats, until a machine gun got the man. The donkey went back up with the next one. Of everything the Anzacs brought home from that campaign, the thing they chose to remember was a donkey. Then there is the stubbornness, the one fact everybody is sure of, and it is the opposite of the truth. A horse meets danger by bolting, which is why horses die on cliff paths. A donkey stops, looks at the thing in front of it, and makes a decision, and it will refuse to step into water it cannot see the bottom of because it is right not to. For 7,000 years we have been calling a risk assessment an attitude. Put one in a field of ewes and it appoints itself. A fox or a loose dog comes through the hedge and the donkey goes at it, head down, front feet first, and keeps going until the thing has gone. Nobody trains that in. It decided they were its sheep. It remembers a face and a field after 25 years. It will stand over a dying companion for a day. It lives to 40 and outlasts half the people who ever owned it. There are about 50 million of them alive, carrying water, firewood and children for the poorest people on earth, and close to 6 million a year are now killed for their hides, boiled down into a gelatine sold as a tonic. The animal that did the most work for the least thanks is being melted into a wellness product. Seven thousand years of hauling us uphill, feeding our orphans and carrying our wounded, and the best we managed in return was to turn its name into an insult. So no. Not nearly obsessed enough.

In December 1960 the most famous writer in the world was checked into the Mayo Clinic under his own doctor's name, officially for his blood pressure, and given up to fifteen rounds of electric shock to the brain, and when he came out he could no longer write a sentence, and six months later he was dead. Ernest Hemingway was 61. He had the Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer, the houses in Cuba and Idaho, and a head that had been battered more times than anyone could count. He had been blown up by a mortar in Italy in 1918, split his skull open in a London car crash in 1944, been thrown from a motorcycle by a shell in France the same year, and walked away from two plane crashes in Africa on consecutive days in 1954, the second leaving fluid leaking from his skull. He drank enormously. By 1960 he was paranoid, convinced the FBI was following him, unable to finish the Paris memoir he had nearly completed. The Mayo psychiatrist, Howard Rome, treated it as depression and gave him the treatment of the day. Electroconvulsive therapy was the modern answer in 1960, quicker than analysis and tidier than the lobotomy it had replaced. Hemingway went home to Ketchum in January. He was worse. Asked to write a single line for a presentation volume for the new President Kennedy, he sat at his desk for a week, could not do it, and wept that it just won't come anymore. In April his wife Mary found him in a state that terrified her, and he was flown back to Rochester for another course of shocks. At the Mayo he told his friend A.E. Hotchner what the treatment had done. His memory was his capital, he said, the thing his whole trade was built on, and they had wiped it and put him out of business. "It was a brilliant cure but we lost the patient." The clinic discharged him at the end of June as improved. On the morning of 2 July 1961, at home in Ketchum, he took his own life. The psychiatrist who has studied his head injuries most closely, Andrew Farah, argues that the man in Rome's office was not simply depressed but living in a brain wrecked by a lifetime of concussions and drink, and that electricity was the last thing it needed. The FBI files released in the 1980s showed he really had been watched for years, which is a hard way to learn that a patient's paranoia was partly a report. None of that got a hearing in 1960. The diagnosis was in the textbook, the treatment was in the textbook, and the patient's complaint that it was taking his mind was in the textbook too, listed as a side effect, expected and temporary. They treated the most observant man in American letters for being wrong about what he was seeing, and the last thing he saw clearly was what they had done to him.

¡PORTUGAL YA EMPIEZA A NOTAR LA AUSENCIA DE CRISTIANO RONALDO! La selección portuguesa podría perder cerca del 40% de sus ingresos comerciales tras la retirada de CR7. Varios patrocinadores abandonarían el proyecto, mientras que otros estarían dispuestos a renovar sus contratos, pero reduciendo considerablemente las cantidades que pagan. Portugal ha intentado impulsar la imagen de Bruno Fernandes, João Neves, Vitinha y Nuno Mendes para ocupar el vacío comercial de Cristiano, pero no todos los patrocinadores están interesados. Al parecer, muchos estaban allí por una sola razón: CRISTIANO RONALDO. 🤯

Things are now moving quicker than EVER before... Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary General Mohsen Rezaei flew to Moscow today and was received by Putin inside the Kremlin, and he did not arrive empty-handed, he carried a personal message from Ayatollah Khamenei to the Russian president.... A head of state cleared his own schedule for the "security chief" of another country, a former commander of the IRGC, and took from him a letter written by the Supreme Leader himself. Heads of state do NOT do that for a "routine" partner. They do it when the other man's front has become CENTRAL to their OWN survival... And for Russia, Iran has become this front... Iran is one of the GATES that I have written about previosuly (see link in comments). It is THE ground Russia uses to reach around American naval supremacy, down the North-South corridor, through Iranian territory, to trade with India directly without ever putting a ship in water the US Navy controls. If Russia loses Iran then Russia loses that critical door. So every time Washington leans on Tehran it is leaning on Moscow's corridor, and Putin knows it, which is WHY the president of Russia takes the meeting himself. People keep calling this "Trump's war", and that is where they ALL go wrong. Trump just lost everything he had to lose in an election, so from here he has little left to protect and a free hand to use it, but the war itself is "institutional" not personality driven. This war is CENTCOM against the IRGC command, two machines locked onto the same ground, each trying to clear the other out of the Middle East for good. Presidents come and go, but the institutions keep the war going regardless, and both sides are fighting it as the existential thing it is. The diplomacy and the kinetics are moving together now. Rezaei in the Kremlin, Russia telling its own citizens to get out of Iran, the Gulf states ringing Tehran's foreign minister the hour the US midterms closed. The whole board repositions in a single week, because everyone on it can see what is coming... My prediction stands and it is reinforced now post American and Israeli elections. Going back to 2016, the pattern under this administration is that the strikes fall on the weekend. I expect the next wave around 6 November Washington time, 7 November in Tehran, the first weekend after the vote, once the election can no longer cost anyone a thing. This is a global war of a kind we have not seen, fought on the diplomatic front and the kinetic one at once, and it is not slowing down. More is coming, and America is not finished with its military options. See the below two analysis. Follow, share and retweet to support my work. 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗔𝗟, 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗜𝗦𝗘!

El capitán Ibrahim Traoré se presentó ante los estudiantes de ingeniería de Burkina Faso y dijo lo que ningún presidente africano había dicho en voz alta. "No seguiremos apoyando ensayos largos. Si eres estudiante de ingeniería, para tu tesis, debes fabricar, copiar o construir algo." Luego les dio la frase que merece ser grabada en la puerta de cada universidad de este continente: "Copia todo lo que puedas copiar, excepto la teoría." Léelo de nuevo. Un continente que importa sus máquinas, sus medicinas y sus refinerías está finalmente diciéndole a sus mentes más brillantes: no necesitamos otro paper sobre ingeniería. Necesitamos que hagan ingeniería. Traoré no está atacando la educación. Está atacando la distancia entre el aula y la nación. Durante sesenta años, las universidades africanas han producido graduados que pueden describir un puente pero no construirlo. Que pueden escribir doscientas páginas sobre industrialización mientras el país importa cada tornillo y rodamiento que necesita. Que salen del campus con un certificado en una mano y nada en la otra. No les está pidiendo a los estudiantes que inventen de la nada. Les está diciendo que hagan ingeniería inversa. Que tomen lo que ya existe, lo entiendan, lo reproduzcan y lo mejoren. Así es como Japón construyó su industria automotriz. Así es como China construyó sus fábricas. Copiaron. Construyeron. Mejoraron. Luego superaron a las personas de las que aprendieron. Su gobierno está respaldando las palabras con infraestructura: escuelas técnicas secundarias ligadas a economías locales, una academia tecnológica, y un Estado que ahora posee las máquinas y plantas de asfalto para construir sus propias autopistas. El modelo antiguo estaba diseñado para producir empleados de oficina para una administración colonial. Sobrevivió a la independencia porque era conveniente para la élite. Sus hijos iban a París. Los tuyos obtenían un diploma y el pasaje de autobús de regreso a casa. "Copia todo lo que puedas copiar, excepto la teoría." Copia la máquina. Copia el proceso. Copia el plano. Luego constrúyelo aquí, con tus manos, para tu gente. Eso no es una degradación de la educación. Es la actualización que África ha necesitado durante sesenta años.

When someone says, “I don't know how to help,” remind them that there is something simple yet powerful they can do. Share our posts. Leave a dot in the comments. Make our voices heard. Every share, every comment, and every act of solidarity matters. The algorithm of genocide and oppression can be challenged through collective resistance, public exposure, and continued condemnation of the Israeli terrorist regime. Do not underestimate the power of your voice. Silence helps injustice. Speaking out is an act of resistance. Stand with Gaza. Keep sharing. Never stop speaking out.
