Aldeia Maracanã: Sobre índios, história e um governo demolidor

Dica de Marko Adjaric

 

"Enfim, quanto ao “compramos e pagamos para destruí-lo”, é triste ver tamanha deturpação – consciente ou não — entre público e privado, individual e coletivo. Mas, infelizmente, tal argumentação não chega a causar surpresa. Na sanha destruidora empreendida pela dupla de demolidores Cabral-Paes em nome da Copa do Mundo e da Olimpíada, é grande a lista de imóveis ameaçados ou já desaparecidos, dentre os quais, além do Museu do Índio, encontram-se a fábrica da Brahma, o prédio do Iaserj, a refinaria de Manguinhos, o estádio Célio de Barros e o parque aquático Júlio Delamare."

The Disastrous Influence of Pope Benedict XVI

 


 Spare me any more reverential coverage about Pope Benedict XVI and his decision to give up his office. On a personal level, I wish him well. At the age of eighty-five and increasingly infirm, he surely deserves a rest. But as far as his record goes, he can’t leave office a moment too soon. His lengthy tenure at the Vatican, which included more than twenty years as the Catholic Church’s chief theological enforcer before he became Pope, in 2005, has been little short of disastrous.

Pope Benedict XVI wearing hats : Hanging Up His Hat: Pope Benedict’s History of Fanciful Headwear |

From the mighty mitre to more whimsical sombreros, Pope Benedict has long adorned himself with headgear worthy of His Holiness. Some towered tall above him. Others enveloped his head. All served to showcase his status as the pontiff of the Roman Catholic church.

Pope Benedict's resignation brings end to paradoxical papacy |

 The abuse scandals dominated his seven years as leader of the world's Catholics.

 In 2006, he outraged Muslims when, in a scholarly lecture at his old university in Regensburg, he used a quotation to the effect that the contributions made by Muhammad were "only evil and inhuman".

Benedict offended indigenous Latin Americans by claiming that the colonisation of their continent had not involved "the imposition of a foreign culture". 

And he angered Jews by allowing wider use of the old, Tridentine liturgy, which includes a Good Friday plea that they be "delivered from their darkness". That decision stemmed from Benedict's keenness to heal the breach with the ultra-traditionalists of the Society of Saint Pius X. In 2009, another raging controversy erupted when he lifted the excommunication of four of the society's bishops. One was a Holocaust-denying Briton,

Yet another row blew up in 2009 when Benedict argued that the distribution of condoms in Africa, far from alleviating the problem, was actually making it worse

The Delhi rape, Savile, Ohio – this violence will no longer be tolerated | Eve Ensler | Comment is free | The Guardian

 Like climate change, only the patriarchs with power seem to be blind to the magnitude of the horrors. As a matter of fact they are engineering it. There is a rape culture – a mindset that seems to have infected every aspect of our lives: the raping of the Earth through ecological destruction by the corporate powerful, pillaging resources for their own coffers with no concern for the Earth, or the indigenous peoples, or the notion of reciprocity; the rape of the poor through exploitation, land grabs, neglect; the rape of women's bodies through physical violence and commodification, where a girl can be purchased for less than the cost of a mobile phone. The modelling and licensing of this rape culture is done by those protected by power and privilege – presidents, celebrities, sports stars, police officers, television executives, priests – with impunity.
