"Was
the crafty monarch who dreamed up the Trojan Horse a flesh-and-blood
ruler or just a figment of Homer’s imagination? Modern scholars
generally view the epic poem as folklore. But in recent years,
archaeologists working in Ithaca have found evidence that the ancients
viewed the story quite differently. High on a rocky ridge, they have
uncovered what might be antiquity’s most devoted fan club: the ruins of a
sprawling, 2,400-year-old sanctuary with details suggesting that King
Odysseus was a figure of local worship."

"The Achilles’ heel of autocrats is mockery, said Taylor. And Trump and his feather-thin skin is particularly sensitive to it.
“Strongmen can handle all the hatred because, weirdly (and this is Trump’s long-standing view), the hatred confirms their power,” said Taylor. “What they actually have such a hard time with is laughter. When people point and laugh, they cower and quiver. The tactic is as old as time.”

A lot has changed. Television is now the dominant medium in basically all of entertainment. The shift in perception is widely credited to the arrival of The Sopranos, which completely reinvented the notion of what a TV show could do. But that doesn’t mean everything that came before is primordial slurry. While this list of the greatest TV shows ever is dominated by 21st century programs, from The Wire to Succession to Adolescence, there are many shows that deserve credit for laying the groundwork for this current golden age.

Dias atrás, o secretário de Defesa dos Estados Unidos, Pete Hegseth, mostrou-se satisfeito por ser inquirido sobre Cuba. Era, finalmente, uma ocasião de ostentar musculatura fácil, mudar o foco da desconcertante humilhação que vem sofrendo há seis meses com a exasperante guerra sem heróis contra o Irã.
— Todas as opções estão na mesa, o que inclui opções militares, e seria sensato por parte de Cuba prestar atenção às declarações do presidente Trump sobre as prerrogativas estratégicas dos americanos — respondeu. — Com certeza [Cuba] não é páreo para os Estados Unidos... Estou animado com as muitas opções que temos.
Vestia uma camiseta verde-oliva que deixava à mostra o “We the People” da Constituição tatuado em letras garrafais no antebraço direito.
Imagem, para Hegseth, é crucial. Apesar de estar no comando do Pentágono e rebatizá-lo de Departamento de Guerra, ele conta com pouco mais do que sua estampa para sobreviver no cargo até o fim do mandato de Trump, em 2028. A audácia do rapto e substituição de Nicolás Maduro na calada da noite, na Venezuela, lhe rendeu bons louros graças à indiferença do mundo diante de violação tão gritante da ordem internacional. Mas, de resto, nada mais parece funcionar para Hegseth — nem no Irã, nem no Oriente Médio, nem com seus éditos sobre o baixo nível de testosterona nas casernas. Até o presidente Trump vem dando mostra de exasperação com seu protegido.
É nesse panorama que Cuba se apresenta de forma tentadora também para Hegseth. O “também”, no caso, importa, pois tem gente mais graúda de olho nesse troféu. Antes de tudo, Cuba é a tentação fundamental para todo ocupante da Casa Branca desde que os barbudos de Fidel Castro tomaram o poder na ilha em 1959. Já são 13 os presidentes americanos consecutivos, de Dwight Eisenhower a Donald Trump (seis democratas e sete republicanos), que tentaram remover, isolar ou mudar estruturalmente o regime cubano. Alternaram-se apenas as abordagens táticas — de tentativas de assassinato e operações clandestinas a décadas de asfixiamento econômico e alguma diplomacia na era Barack Obama. Trump, que já prometeu acabar com duas guerras em 24 horas e está atolado em três, deposita no almejado retorno de Cuba à esfera de influência dos Estados Unidos a chance de conseguir o que a História certamente lhe negará — ser chamado de estadista.
O secretário de Estado, Marco Rubio, tem interesses mais terrenos: se conseguir colocar as mãos em Cuba em tempo hábil, suas chances como presidenciável republicano em 2028 dão um salto de catapulta. A ponto de empalidecer seu concorrente mais imediato, o atual vice-presidente J.D. Vance, cuja esfera de poder passa ao largo do Hemisfério Ocidental idealizado por Trump.
Com esse pano de fundo, merece atenção um relatório divulgado duas semanas atrás pelo Departamento de Estado de Rubio. “Cuba, a Capital Comunista do Século XXI”, diz o título. O preâmbulo não é menos alarmado:
— O ataque de Cuba aos Estados Unidos nunca foi, em sua essência, uma disputa sobre política econômica, soberania ou mesmo posse de um determinado território. Foi uma revolução contra a própria civilização ocidental — travada, em parte, pelo método inédito e insidioso de persuadir os filhos do Ocidente a se voltar contra sua própria herança. Essa é a campanha que Castro lançou em 1959, e é a campanha que seus herdeiros estão travando.
Ao longo de 99 páginas, o relatório afirma que “mesmo com sua economia à beira do colapso, o objetivo fundamental do regime cubano permanece sendo a revolução marxista hemisférica capaz de apagar os Estados Unidos da face da Terra”. Não fica muito claro como ela se daria. Isso porque, “um dos maiores, mais sofisticados e perigosos vetores de influência estrangeira hostil na História moderna americana” são, segundo o documento, as ONGs, organizações ativistas, redes ideológicas e grupos de fachada cubanos. Dos tumultos antirracistas decorrentes do assassinato a frio de George Floyd à explosão do ativismo pró-Palestina nos campi universitários, tudo tem ligação “de alguma forma, à influência cubana” e sua “revolução existencial contra os Estados Unidos”. Caramba!
Philip Agee foi agente da CIA por nove anos na década de 1960. Nascido na Flórida de Rubio (cujos pais cubanos emigraram antes da revolução), morreu na Havana de Fidel Castro em 2008, execrado pela agência por ter publicado um catatau autobiográfico de quase 700 páginas narrando sua vida de espião. “Dentro da ‘Companhia’: Diário da CIA”, publicado no Brasil pelo Círculo do Livro em 1974, tornou-se um clássico. A avaliação de Agee dos motivos que levam os Estados Unidos a precisar estrangular Cuba foi feita em entrevista ao programa de TV “Alternative View” e data dos anos 1970:
— Se Cuba, um país pobre, conseguisse demonstrar que é capaz de oferecer cuidados de saúde melhores e outros avanços sociais, isso representaria uma ameaça à narrativa dos Estados Unidos sobre a superioridade de seu modelo. Muitos americanos poderiam olhar para Cuba e pensar: “Se eles conseguem fazer isso com uma renda per capita de US$ 2.000/US$ 2.500, enquanto a nossa é de US$ 22.500, que problemas existem em nosso próprio sistema?
Continua valendo.

pêndulo de demolição - revista piauí
" Na hora combinada, Lopes apareceu ao lado de um casal, que apresentou como sendo Jailma, a vítima do estupro, e seu namorado, Lucas. Jailma é uma mulher magra, com cabelos lisos e escuros que chegam quase à altura da cintura. Lucas, um rapaz alto, que vestia bermuda e chinelo. Pediram que a conversa se desse em off, de forma preliminar, sem gravação. Sentada na praça de alimentação do shopping, Jailma contou então sua história. Disse que tinha 8 anos quando sua mãe começou a trabalhar como empregada doméstica na casa de Alfredo Gaspar, em Maceió. Contou que ajudava a mãe nas tarefas – e, às vezes, recebia presentes do dono da casa, como bonecas e um celular. Jailma afirmou que, quando tinha 13 anos de idade, teve relação sexual com Gaspar mais de uma vez. Na conversa com a piauí, não tratou os episódios como estupro, mas como “agrados”. Disse que foram relações consensuais. Ainda assim, seu relato é grave porque a lei brasileira entende que não existe consentimento num ato sexual com uma criança de até 14 anos. É, necessariamente, um crime."
IN MEMORIAM GERALDINE DE HAAS
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, bend over willow and weep for me

In one of the most remote towns on earth, on the frozen crust of Greenland’s east coast, the American oilman made his pitch.
Near to the very room where they were all sitting, he told a crowd of Greenlanders, could be as much as 13 billion barrels of oil. His company planned to drill two exploratory wells, and if it struck oil, it could be a major worldwide discovery bringing much-needed jobs, loads of tax money and relief to world energy markets.
The people who attended the meeting, which was held in June in an isolated town called Ittoqqortoormiit, had some questions.
Why would Greenland get only 15 percent of the profit?
What kind of chemicals would be used?
And what about the musk ox?
(Musk ox hunting is a big deal up there.)

The meeting wrapped up with a lot of unhappy people filing out, according to a video of it that was shared with The New York Times, and a showdown over oil exploration has now joined the cloud of issues swirling over Greenland.
The wildcat oil project is being pumped up by Dr. Phil McGraw, the TV personality known as Dr. Phil, and Gov. Jeff Landry of Louisiana, both powerful allies of President Trump. It’s the latest push by the MAGA camp to close in on this gigantic Arctic island that Mr. Trump threatened to annex and remains a fixation of his.
If the discovery is anything close to what the company says, and if it makes economic sense for major production — and those are two enormous ifs — this project could thrust Greenland into a radically different future, possibly as an Arctic petrostate.
But it’s off to a bumpy start. After a wave of negative publicity, protests by Greenlanders and a slip-up by the project’s organizers who have a drilling license, Greenland’s authorities tapped the brakes. This week the government pushed back the timeline for granting final approvals, saying that it’s unlikely any drilling would be authorized before 2028.
The Texas-based firm leading the project, Greenland Energy Company, now says it will focus on drilling only one well, not two. And the delays are expected to cost millions. As a result, Greenland Energy’s share price has plummeted, trading at little more than a dollar, half its value from just days ago.
A few years ago, Greenland declared it was suspending oil exploration. The Arctic is among the fastest-warming regions in the world, and the Greenlandic government felt it was wrong to contribute more fossil fuel pollution.

But the oil prospectors in this case are operating with a valid license granted before the policy changed, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times. So Greenlandic officials, who have been trying to navigate the intense pressure Mr. Trump has put on them, find themselves in a tight spot.
They are more than aware that if they reflexively block Americans from drilling, especially at a time when world events have squeezed the global oil supply, that could give Mr. Trump the pretext he needs to return to his threats to “get” Greenland, “one way or the other.” At the same time, there’s obvious resistance from ordinary Greenlanders and government officials to the project.
“In a world where Donald Trump has pursued such a confrontational policy toward Greenland, you can’t help but be a little concerned,” said Mikkel Runge Olesen, a senior researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies. “If you suddenly throw a major oil discovery into the mix, who knows what might happen.”
For months, the United States, Greenland and Denmark — the island’s former colonial master that still controls many of its affairs — have been locked in sticky negotiations over the island’s future. One key issue has been American access to Greenland’s natural resources.
Ever since Mr. Trump set his sights on the island, Greenland has become a magnet for investors and allies chasing Arctic resource dreams. But oil has never been easy.
Chevron and Shell prospected decades ago with no success. It’s incredibly expensive to build an oil industry from scratch in one of the most remote and inhospitable places on the planet. Most of Greenland is covered in ice. One major U.S. company, ARCO, decades ago sank today’s equivalent of $250 million — far more than the $80 million the current players have raised — into seismic studies in the same area, only to abandon the project in 1990.
“There are so many red flags here,” said Naaja Nathanielsen, Greenland’s former minister of natural resources and now a representative in Denmark’s Parliament. She says she hasn’t seen any hard data supporting the project’s tantalizing claims, adding, “I think they are selling hot air.”
Not so, say the backers of the project, a joint venture between Greenland Energy, the small, publicly traded U.S. company that raised the money, and 80 Mile Plc, a British outfit that acquired the drilling licenses several years ago.
Roderick McIllree, 80 Mile’s executive director and a board member of Greenland Energy, said this stretch of Greenland had the same geology as the North Sea oil fields, where European countries have extracted billions of barrels. And climate change is working in their favor, he said.
Warming temperatures mean less ice clogging Greenland’s coast, making any oil discovered cheaper to export than it would have been decades ago, he said.
One investor is the Citadel hedge fund, run by the investment titan Ken Griffin, and the Trump administration fully supports the project.
“Greenland could be exporting two million barrels of oil a day,” said Governor Landry, Mr. Trump’s special envoy to Greenland, in a Fox News interview in May. He added, “Think about what kind of pressure that would relieve in the Straits of Hormuz.”

Before the project is allowed to start, its plans, including a detailed environmental assessment, must be approved. But the organizers have been moving ahead anyway and recently carried out two disputed equipment transfers.
First, they brought in a barge of equipment from another part of Greenland on what authorities said was an expired permit. Jorgen Hammeken-Holm, the head of Greenland’s mineral resources department, called the move “naughty, naughty.”
Then, a few days later, they unloaded another piece of heavy equipment without proper notification, the authorities said.
“We have the police and the military,” Mr. Hammeken-Holm warned. “They can assist in dealing with unlawful activities if necessary.”
Mr. McIllree, the 80 Mile executive, admitted, “We kind of fell down.” He said the company apologized to Greenlandic officials.
The potentially oil-rich area, known as Jameson Land, is a highly protected environmental zone, an Arctic swampland of sorts, home to tenacious shrubs and musk ox, foxes and migrating birds like the pink-footed goose. The musk ox is prized for its meat and its fur, which is turned into a luxurious yarn.
All this has attracted Dr. Phil, who did a recent 44-minute podcast on the project. He titled the episode “Frozen Gold,” and according to documents on Greenland Energy’s website, the company has established “a wide-ranging partnership” with him to make a six-episode series on “this modern-day treasure hunt.”

His company did not respond to requests for comment about his involvement in the project. But on his podcast, Dr. Phil said he would soon head to the Arctic.
“I’m going to have to mug a kitten and get some mittens because I’m going to go up there and see this firsthand,” he said.
Ittoqqortoormiit (It-tok-kor-TOR-meet), population 329, is trying to make sense of what’s happening. This spring, members of the local council seemed ready to negotiate and drafted a list of things they wanted from the oil company: a heated community pool, new hunting cabins and funding for residents to fly over Jameson Land in helicopters one last time before their hunting grounds were turned into an industrial site.
But the public meeting in June changed the mood.
Mr. McIllree conceded that the team that led the meeting didn’t show enough respect.
“They forgot whose house they were in,” he said.
Still, some residents support the project.
Aage Uugi Pike Barselajsen, a construction worker, said in a telephone interview that Ittoqqortoormiit desperately needed jobs.
“You have to think about the future and the money,” he explained. “Maybe Greenland could become like Dubai. That’s my dream.”
