"Unauthorized Biography of the Vatican", Santiago Camacho

At left is the cover with which I meet when I came across this volume of 336 pages of English journalist Santiago Camacho. We see the very famous St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican (which I was lucky enough to visit), with a purple sky behind it, where it hovers in a lighter shade a huge swastika. While a blanket cover these features can sensationalize some prejudices about the supposedly impartial intentions of the author, a reader must support the reactionary move from page to page, the image does not exaggerate, or better, well worth a mass. Camacho has a predilection with issues relating to secret societies and conspiracies, and realize other books of his authorship as 20 great conspiracies of history or Sewers Empire. In this installment, the writer makes a comprehensive review on the recent history of the Catholic Church and his left hand during the twentieth century transformation into a true multinational company, like any other group, can be dirty (and is) uncomfortable airing .

The impoverishment of the Catholic Church during the nineteenth century became final with the gradual reduction of the territories belonging to the Papal States, and was sealed in 1870 when his dominions were reduced the current 0.44 km. squares Vatican City. The precarious economic situation remained unchanged until 1929, when Pius XI and Mussolini's Fascist government signed the Lateran Treaty, which meant exorbitant financial concessions on the part of Italy the sovereign State of Vatican, among other royalties courts. Thereafter, the Istituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR, or better known as the Vatican Bank) trusted papal coffers as dark characters Bernardino Novara, Michele Sindona, Roberto Calvi or Cardinal Marcinkus, whose movements of money from investment walked in Italian and international companies, to explicit link with the Sicilian Mafia and U.S., the CIA (and the financing of the fight against the Communist bloc), fascist regimes (the same Italy, Croatia, Germany), the extreme right, warlords Hispanic and trafficking of arms and heroin. Among the many shocking events, documents how the Vatican is facilitated Hitler's rise to power, kept silent about genocide, given asylum in their compounds and p
dismissed his flight to help Nazi war criminals (with false passports and Red Cross help of the CIA), or as articulated a series of rinses and money laundering holes ending with individual prosecutors and the scandalous collapse of Banco Ambrosiano in 1982 (being the main shareholder IOR). There is talk of the rarefied circumstances surrounding the death of Pius XI and John Paul I, the assassination attempt on John Paul II and the actions of Propaganda Due . More intrigue and blood in the best Scorsese films.

Although the work is well documented, at times one misses a large number of references to literature sources from which it received at least one engaging in the text data. Unauthorized Biography Vatican (2005, Ed Martínez Roca) has the merit of data already known (unfortunately for the Holy See), but exposed in a chronic form of orderly, accessible, and indeed terrifying which plots the raw truth: the business of selling faith is governed by laws as Machiavellian as they were evident at the time of the Borgias.

To reach San Martin de los Andes, the easiest way is to do in Bariloche, heading north about four hours. It is a mountainous city founded in 1898, located at the eastern end of Lake Lacar meandering freshwater reserve that will give the border with Chile. The town is fast emerging thanks sanmartinense mountain tourism and the town has a ski resort.

are municipal ordinances that determine which buildings must have wood facade, be no taller than 12.5 meters and have a special type ceiling. Such measures do nothing but betray the consciousness that they care beyond the civic heritage, a notion consistent architecture and landscaping finished. In Chile, however, the master plans do not really know if any good. Valparaiso dazzles me walk up and see huge buildings in Buenos Aires hillsides amid centuries-old traditional houses.

Calf Exercises For Bowlegs

"The Dying Animal" Philip Roth Bonsai

A few days ago a dear friend of mine, conspicuous and acute psychologist, appeared smiling with this title as a gift for my birthday, knowing that I would complicate the existence during the time it would take read it. It was.

This is a short novel, but not too simple. Narrating in first person, a university professor and seventy years is installed on your couch next to a listener unfamiliar that the reader can assimilate as soon oneself, to hear that, patient, a cluster of reports that the professor has to tell, or in my impression, to confess. The memories start eight years earlier, and revolve around an intense relationship the teacher establishes with a student of Cuban origin, thirty-eight years younger than him. The result of all this is a wonderful delivery from the American Philip Roth, where we get into the conflicts of a learned man, and seductive sound that pays not without difficulty and first time negligent emotions, insecurity of obsession, passion anachronistic, the uncomfortable lack of control of the intellectual. We have a really dense novel, which deceives easy reverberates reading but before long, their deeply human thoughts about sex, anarchy, love, the inevitability of aging and death attitude. This is the dying animal.

In short: short text, but focused and subtle, and therefore almost damn-inducing violence against the hard facts of life. Reading experience, mature and highly recommended.

First Auditions Mediafire

Man or restriction of thinking

Each of us is a seed, an individual who has latent potential to germinate and result in a leafy tree, perfect, certainly, but whose roots delve into solid humanistic values; flexible, more trunk strengthened by the care of their training. The fact leads us, however, to meet a man bonsai: plant, arrested in its development by repeated pruning and the finest ties, yet stronger than the wire, twisted with grace and will of those who understand the art to shape and form partnerships with the desired direction, devoid of cultural compost to facilitate their full growth.

In terms of thinking all is said, that's clear. However, the literature finds many leading thinkers, who have already sketched lines of discernment whose validity transcends generations, that based concepts have been analyzed and the common man today can access through your own intuition and reasoning, but unfortunately often fleeting paroxysms of light. The average human being who lives only, not mostly interested in the justification of freedom, the existence of the property. Occasionally sees some operational definition, tentative, and after a few minutes to leave because it is not useful in day to day. There may be convicted for it: he is alone and nobody helps deepen their natural instinct for the understanding of things. Can not form an opinion full of nothing, now that alternatives to the counts are low, shallow and filtered by the system in which he lived.

"The Republic" Plato's "Nicomachean Ethics" of Aristotle, "The Prince" Machiavelli, "The Praise of Folly" by Erasmus of Rotterdam, "Leviathan" of Hobbes, "The Spirit of laws "of Montesquieu and" The Social Contract "of Rousseau, to name a few examples, are books that I got on my own. During my school years, works like these not only were not included in basic reading, but their very titles were rare or no time mentioned. In Chile almost nobody reads the classics, are omitted from the school no more, and few miss. Yes prominently in educational programs, however, magical realism, the apotheosis of the third world literature suburb, in short, a culture of mediocrity, the ne plus ultra and fortified stronghold.

I find it difficult not to recognize, or at least suspicious of all this a systematic screening, expressly made the most egregious "fertilizer of thought" to be found in the lyrics universal. What's happening? Nothing new under the sun. Two thousand five hundred years of experience plutocracy in the West provide sufficient experience to the ruling class that it knows exactly the enzymes that promote companies to challenge the order they imposed.

Young people studying for the day to day, learning is disposable, saving the pitfall of the note is. On the other hand, schools do not teach children to learn, to understand why it is necessary reading and personal training. While there is no drastic change at this level, and the system continues to restrict access to lines of thought, action is just and intellectually motivating catalyst that can make every family in homes. I believe that this space is essential to supplement education in those areas where falente. Texts like those above are an encouragement to the reason for the forging of ideas and the creation of an adult with discretion and sound concepts. It should encourage critical reading, analysis, discussion of the contingent and not bury our heads to reality. It is necessary that future generations do not just live, but to form an opinion on the various aspects of life itself. Culture may sponsor, good book, and ultimately, the freethinking.
