Scenariile privind viitorul Uniunii Europene

După ce am analizat şi răsanalizat, am măsurat, am cântărit şi testat fizico-chimic şi termodinamic mie mi se pare că scenariile 1, 3 şi 5  propuse de Comisia Europeană ar fi ce ne trebuie, viabil ar fi scenariul 3, care ar rupe gura târgului iar dezirabil ar fi o combinație între scenariile 1,3 şi 5 care ne-ar coafa corespunzător.

La voi ce scenariu iese ?

Medieval

Kalamazoo by  Josephine Livingstone

Every year, three thousand people gather in Kalamazoo for the sake of the years 400 to 1400 (approximately) of the Common Era. The International Congress on Medieval Studies, held annually at Western Michigan University, is the largest gathering of medievalists on earth. They come from all over the world to participate in panels like “Attack and Counterattack: The Embattled Frontiers of Medieval Iberia,” “Waste Studies: Excrement in the Middle Ages,” “Historical, Ethnical and Religious Roots of the Thraco-Geto-Dacians and Their Successors: Romanians and Vlaho-Romanians” and “J. K. Rowling’s Medievalism (I & II).” They are literary critics, historians, experts in numismatics and linguistic datasets, and nuns. There are over five hundred sessions: meetings and drinks parties and bookstalls; groups of monks dressed in black; bespectacled, serious, young men; elderly ladies in capped sleeves. Here is a ragtag bunch of human beings all on the same pilgrimage, playing a part in a story that they can’t read, because they’re in it.

Centenar

La multi ani !

De Centenar intram in era populismului

Nu conteaza cati psdisti au fost la miting, daca au venit fortati sau nu la Bucuresti sau daca au inteles despre ce a fost vorba. Eu cred ca oamenii au fost toti constienti ca vin pentru PSD, si-au asumat tot ce au spus liderii partidului si ca si-au confirmat asteptarile.

Mai important este modelul PSD impus pentru viitor. Vom avea un model de populism care nu va semana cu cel din Europa Centrala, va fi un populism cu mai multe elemente de violenta. In Ungaria si Polonia populismul va pastra elemente functionale dar la noi, adevaratele decizii in forta se vor lua pe stadioane. Justitia oricum este deja un model perimat si compromis pentru actuala putere.

Cam tot ce va imaginati rau ca se poate intampla in timpul guvernarii PSD cu siguranta se va intampla si probabil mai mult de atat.

Si, da, istoria oricarui regim dictarorial incepe cu un lider care a avut o condamnare, care a fost capitalizata politic cu abilitate si transformata in avantaj electoral.

Julia Kristeva

Bulgaria Says French Thinker Was a Secret Agent. She Calls It a ‘Barefaced Lie.’ By JENNIFER SCHUESSLER and BORYANA DZHAMBAZOVA

Julia Kristeva, at 76, is one of Europe’s most decorated public intellectuals. Her more than 30 books have covered topics including linguistics, psychoanalysis, literary theory and feminism. Her many prestigious honors include the Vaclav Havel Prize, the Hannah Arendt Prize and France’s Commander of the Legion of Honor.
But now, a furor has arisen over whether it is time to add a more surprising line to her résumé: Bulgarian secret agent.
The notion surfaced on Tuesday, when the Bulgarian government commission charged with reviewing the files of the country’s notorious Communist-era secret service released a terse document alleging that the Bulgarian-born Ms. Kristeva, who has lived in France since 1966, had served in the early 1970s as an agent known by the code name “Sabina.”
The allegation was greeted with shocked disbelief by those immersed in the work of Ms. Kristeva, who is known for her staunch defense of European democratic ideals and opposition to all “totalitarianisms,” as she puts it, whether state Communism, American-style identity politics or religious fundamentalism.
The mystery only deepened on Friday, when the commission, in response to intense international interest, took the unusual step of posting online the entire dossier on Ms. Kristeva.

The hundreds of pages of documents include Ms. Kristeva’s supposed registration card as an agent of Bulgaria’s former Committee for State Security and extensive reports of alleged conversations with her handlers in Parisian cafes and restaurants between 1971 and 1973. But there is not a single intelligence-related document written or signed by her.
