<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://twentyfourframes.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/daisy-kenyon-dvd.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-627" title="daisy-kenyon-dvd" src="http://twentyfourframes.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/daisy-kenyon-dvd.jpg" alt="daisy-kenyon-dvd" width="450" height="450" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span>     </span>After leaving MGM where she reigned as the biggest star on the lot Joan Crawford signed a contract with Warner Brothers and had series of hits that rank up there with her best from MGM, “Humoresque”, “Possessed” (1947), her Academy Award winning role in “Mildred Pierce.” While under contract to Warner’s she was loaned out to 20<sup>th</sup> Century Fox for “Daisy Kenyon”. Kenyon has been called a woman’s picture, a melodrama and a film noir. Though released on DVD by 20<sup>th</sup> Century Fox as part of its film noir series this is misleading. The movie, while it may contain some noirsh style lighting, that may have more to do with Ms. Crawford being too old for the part with the dark shadowy lighting used to cover up the effects of her fortyish age. Either way, Joan was still at the top and could command leading men of status like Dana Andrews and Henry Fonda to be her co-stars.<span>  <a href="http://twentyfourframes.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/daisy-kenyon.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-628" title="daisy-kenyon" src="http://twentyfourframes.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/daisy-kenyon.jpg" alt="daisy-kenyon" width="450" height="153" /></a>       </span><span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span>     </span>Here Crawford was given two of the top male stars of the time to co-star with, Preminger favorite Dana Andrews who had appeared in at least five Preminger films and Henry Fonda. Billed third behind Andrews, which may be surprising to some, Fonda, just back from the Army was at the tail end of his studio contract and was ready to go out on his own. Andrews was a big star and on a roll during this period having just appeared in “Boomerang”, “The Best Years of Our Lives” and “A Walk in the Sun.” “Daisy Kenyon” is the story of a young commercial artist who is having an adulterous affair with big time lawyer Dan O’Mara (Andrews). O’Mara always got everything he wanted. He never lost a case; he had a family with two young daughters who love him and a beautiful mistress. Daisy wants to get married however, the smooth talking O’Mara strings her along never committing. Daisy meets psychologically disturbed war veteran Peter Lapham (Fonda). After a single date he professes his love for Daisy. When Daisy rejects his proposal, he just disappears. Later on, realizing Dan is not going to divorce his wife (Ruth Warwick) marries Peter though she still in love with Dan. O’Mara however, cannot get over Daisy and after losing a case for the first time, where he was defending a Japanese-American war veteran who came home to find his property taken away from him, he makes the decision to divorce his wife and come after the now married Daisy. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span>    </span>Preminger who was at the height of his career in the 1940’s through the 1950’s does a nice job of keeping the suspense up on whom Daisy will decide on until the very end. From what I have read, Preminger did not think much of the final results of the film.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span>   <a href="http://twentyfourframes.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/daisy-kenyon-poster.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-629" title="daisy-kenyon-poster" src="http://twentyfourframes.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/daisy-kenyon-poster.jpg" alt="daisy-kenyon-poster" width="450" height="342" /></a> </span>Of the three leading characters, Crawford’s Daisy is probably the least interesting though as usual, she plays a strong female character and her presence alone is powerful. Fonda’s character is a bit of an oddity, as is the pairing of Crawford and Fonda in general. There does not seem to be any chemistry between them making their scenes together disappointing. Dana Andrews gives a fine performance as Dan, going from a smart over confident self centered charmer to a man who suddenly realizes he is losing everything. You can see the confidence drain from Andrews face as his fortunes decline. A really nice performance, the most successful in the film though his character is not very likeable.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span>    </span>There are also problems with the script. Dan’s relationship with his children seems like it needed to be explored more. Similar is the relationship between Daisy and her friend Martha (Mary Angelus) who always seems to be hanging around Daisy’s apartment making you wonder if there is more to their relationship than is being said.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span>     </span>Look for cameo appearances by John Garfield, writer Damon Runyon and newspapermen Leonard Lyons and Walter Winchell in the Stork Club scene. The film was written by David Hertz was based on a novel by Elizabeth Janeway. As an aside, Elizabeth Janeway was married to Elliot Janeway who was economic advisor to Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and later to Lyndon B. Johnson.</span></span></p>

Rápidamente se convirtió en partisano y luchó en territorio eslovaco contra los alemanes. Al terminar la guerra fue nombrado comandante de un batallón acorazado. Ascendido a teniente coronel entre 1947 y 1949, mandó la guardia personal del Presidente de la República. Se incorporó entonces al Ministerio de Defensa como jefe de Departamento. Al producirse el levantamiento popular de octubre de 1956 se pasó a los insurrectos y destacó al frente de los defensores del Cuartel de Kilián. Como dirigente destacado de la insurrección, el 31 de octubre se convirtió en comandante de las fuerzas armadas unificadas revolucionarias, el denominado “Comité de la Milicia Revolucionaria”. El 1 de noviembre el Gobierno de Imre Nagy lo nombró Viceministro de Defensa. Formó parte de la comisión del Gobierno húngaro encargada de negociar con las autoridades soviéticas el fin de su intervención armada y la retirada del Ejército Rojo de Hungría. En la noche del 3 de noviembre, en el momento de iniciarse las conversaciones en Tököl, fue detenido por agentes de la KGB. Condenado a muerte en el proceso contra el grupo de Nagy, Maléter fue ejecutado el 16 de junio de 1958. Sobre este personaje y su tiempo publicó Miklós Horváth un libro en 1995: <em>Maléter Pál, Budapest, Osiris-Századvég Kiadó, 1956-os Intézet</em>.</p>

Terminada la Segunda Guerra Mundial se dedicó a la diplomacia: fue embajador en Belgrado de 1947 a 1949; en París, de 1949 a 1954, y en Varsovia, de 1955 a 1956. En el momento de la revolución era miembro del Comité Central del Partido y el 1 de noviembre formó parte de la comisión gestora del nuevo partido de Kádár, el Partido Socialista Obrero Húngaro. Fue Zoltán Szántó quien negoció con el embajador yugoslavo en Budapest la entrada del grupo de Nagy en dicha legación diplomática. Por sus vínculos con el grupo también terminó recluido en Rumania junto a Nagy y sus compañeros, pero finalmente no fue procesado y se retiró de la política.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Sympati for Djævelen.</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Jeg bestiller bare billetter. I avisen står der <em>”..har inspireret Cassavettes og Fassbinder” </em>. Man skulle da være et <em>bæst</em>, hvis man forlangte yderligere anbefalinger.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Jeg møder altså ikke specielt velforberedt, men jeg forestiller mig vel, at en mand på 81 med kunstnernavnet <em>Anger</em>, er en bøs, indesluttet type.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Der findes muligvis dem, der mener at vide, hvordan man genkender en homoseksuel okkultist, men ikke mig.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Vred ser han absolut ikke ud til at være, da han træder ud på gulvet i Trappesalen på Statens Museum for Kunst. Han er glad for at vise sine film i så smukke omgivelser, siger han. Da en eller anden vælter en flaske ned ad marmortrappen, mens han taler, redder han straks situationen ved at sige, at glas, der splintres er et vigtigt element i hans film. Det er ikke bare høflighed eller betænksomhed. Han udstråler en fantastisk energi. Han er absolut nærværende.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Inden hans første film, Fireworks (1947) bliver vist, spørger aftenens vært ham, hvad han ville opnå, med filmen. Instinktivt kryber jeg sammen af skræk for den smøre om <em>curriculum-building</em> og <em>carrier-opportunities</em>, sådan et spørgsmål kunne udløse hos en ung, ambitiøs kunstner. Men der tager jeg helt fejl:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->Jeg ville udtrykke mig, svarer Kenneth Anger.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;">(Phyy.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">En googel-søgning, senere, viser mig, at spørgsmålet var stillet med fuldt overlæg.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Aftenens vært, <em>Carl Abrahamsson</em> er også okkultist. Satanist, skriver han på sin hjemmeside.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p><a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewTaggedPhoto&#38;friendID=184058077&#38;imageUserID=359455183&#38;imageID=3609002"><img title="Koncert" src="http://a967.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/85/m_977c84e26b6b710588ebdc7f82cc376e.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="113" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Satanisme</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alt hvad jeg ved om satanisme, ved jeg fra <em>Alfred Lehmanns</em> legendariske bog <em>”Overtro og trolddom”</em>. Jeg har altid opfattet den bog som gammel som bjergene. Og paradigmet er da også skiftet en del gange, både indenfor psykologi og religionshistorie, siden den udkom. Men bogen er kun syv år ældre end Kenneth Anger.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Nå, men <em>satanist</em>. Noget med at realisere sit selvs potentiale. Skabe sin egen orden, på sine egne præmisser.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Abrahamsson lader Anger starte med essensen af sin egen synsvinkel: Kunsten er at realisere sit eget perspektiv. Anger tilføjer, at filmen er inspireret af en drøm, han havde i sommeren 1944. Drømmen var inspireret af en virkelig hændelse:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p><a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&#38;friendid=184058077"><img class="alignnone" title="Marines" src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/giancarletto/FILM/ANGER/300/Fireworks.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="223" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Virkeligt drømmeforlæg</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I 1944 lå den amerikanske marine ankret op, udenfor LA, klar til at sejle ud og deltage i afslutningen af Anden Verdenskrig. De ventende marineinfanterister var ikke vanskelige at provokere, forklarer Anger, psykologisk var de allerede sat op til at gå i krig. Derfor havde de havde set sig vrede på nogle mexicanere, der gik i røde og grønne dragter, der bestod af bukser, der sad tæt til benene og med jakker over, der havde lange skøder. <span> </span>Alt i alt for meget for de adrenalin-pumpede marinere, der en dag gik ud og bankede en mexicaner i sit outfit, hvorefter de hev hans dekadente tøj af ham.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">En drøm om en virkelig hændelse, en virkelig hændelse filtreret gennem en drøm, bliver den første af Angers film, der får premiere.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">To ting, jeg <em>overhovedet</em> ikke mindes med vemod fra min tidlige ungdom: puddelhunderock – hvilket måske er grunden til, jeg aldrig rigtig har sat mig ind i okkultisme. - Og bodybuilding.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Nå. Lige meget:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.sensesofcinema.com/contents/directors/03/anger.html"><img title="Fireworks" src="http://www.sensesofcinema.com/images/directors/03/24/fireworks.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="134" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Fireworks&#8217; handling</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Som flere af aftenens film, starter denne her med, at hovedpersonen ligger og sover. Ham her med en mere end almindeligt stor erektion under lagenet. Personen springer ud af sengen, med ’erektionen’ i hånden. Det viser sig at være en afrikansk fetisch-figur.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Der er et stænk af falde-på-halen-komedie i alle filmene.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Som det sker i drømme, går hovedpersonen, med fetishen i hånden, ind ad en dør, der med meget store bogstaver forkynder <em>’gents’</em>. På den anden side af døren finder han ganske rigtigt en <em>herre</em>, iført marineuniform.  Han poserer, nøjagtig som de bodybuildere gjorde det i ’80erne.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Lyssætningen og kameraet kærtegner de svulmende mandlige former. Han stiller sig fuldstændig uden anstrengelse på hænder. Kameraet bliver så forelsket i posituren, at det også må vende sig på hovedet og et øjeblik ser man verden vendt på hovedet, i ’håndstandsperspektivet’. Kameraet udforsker hans muskler i brystkassen og ryggen. Fascination er så velformidlet, at jeg må give kameraet ret. Marinesoldaten er smuk.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Gentlemanden begynder at slå løs på den sagesløse hovedperson, der ser ud til at lide voldsomt. Ikke mindst, må man gå ud fra, da der pludselig er en hel flok marinesoldater, og de flår hans mave op, så man kan kigge ind til indvoldene – blandt indvoldene ligger et stykke rundt metal.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Filmen indeholder mange flere forgreninger. På et tidspunkt har hovedpersonen ikke længere en afrikansk ibenholtsfigur, men et stort juletræ i hånden. Senere er det blevet en stang dynamit, som han fyrer af fra gylpen i sine bukser. I et glimt ser man hovedpersonen, der vågner på et offentligt toilet. Og man ser ham vågne i sin seng, nu med marineren ved siden af sig.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hvorom alting er, ligger hovedpersonen, tilsyneladende, død til sidst med vand strømmende hen over sig.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.sensesofcinema.com/contents/directors/03/anger.html"><img class="alignnone" title="invocation of demon brother" src="http://www.sensesofcinema.com/images/directors/03/24/demon.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="146" /></a>/&#62;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Magi og eros</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Erotik og kult er fra filmens åbning sammenkædet i den afrikanske figur, der, placeret under dynen, ligner en erektion. <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Gentlemanden, marinesoldatens, krop, som kameraets øje så smukt hjælper os med at se, er på en gang sensuel, som organiske former er det – og urealiseret potens. Ordet skal forstås både erotisk og magisk-religiøst.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hovedpersonen er draget af den maskuline skønheds magisk-erotiske potentiale.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Det urealiserede potentiale finder udløsning i marinerns overfald på hovedpersonen, gennem hvis øjne vi, størstedelen af tiden, oplever filmens virkelighed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hovedpersonen er det villige offer, der vækkes af det erotisk-magiske potentiale, der rejser sig fra hans underbevidsthed/krop under søvnen.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&#38;friendid=184058077"><img class="alignnone" title="Curtains" src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/giancarletto/FILM/ANGER/300/angerv1-04.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Kult og dramaturgi</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Drømmeforløb og ritualforløb minder meget om grundlæggende dramaturgi:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Har en person slået et søm i væggen i første akt, må der nødvendigvis hænge en person ned fra det ved afslutningen af tredje akt. Har man sagt A, må man også sige B.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Ritualet – eller kultdramaet – holder hus med sine virkemidler på samme måde.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Lader hovedpersonen sig vække, er der altså kun en vej for handlingen – fremad. Hovedpersonen må gå ind ad døren med det overdimensionerede toiletskilt ’gents’.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">(Hvor ikke bare denne films hovedperson, men også andre mænd, i stort set samme ærinde, fx George Michael, er kommet så grueligt galt af sted. Også George Michael valgte at følge dramaets regler og gav sit velkendte kunstnernavn til politiet, frem for sit ukendte, græskklingende, civile efternavn.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Marineren bag toiletdøren gør, som gentlemænd bør gøre. De følger de kultdramaturgiske regler og forløser deres potentiale. Da hovedpersonens hud gennembrydes, opløses hans fysiske grænser, ligesom hans psykiske grænser er blevet det, i smertens ekstase.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p><!--Google Video Error: bad URL entered--><a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&#38;friendid=184058077"><img title="Film by Anger" src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/giancarletto/FILM/ANGER/300/anger123.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Den dionysiske kult</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I filmen forenes offer og bødler i voldens ekstase, som i det dionysiske kultdrama, hvor oldtidens kvinder (der var udelukkede fra det velorkestrerede apollinske kultdrama, der foregik om dagen, i byens centrum) løb ud i skoven om natten og fangede og spiste vilde dyr rå, og helst mens de endnu levede. Livskraften i dyrene, den dionysiske kraft, der gennemstrømmede skoven, sikrede kvinderne liv og frugtbarhed, når de indoptog kom i kontakt med dem. Enten fordi de spiste dem (dyrene indeni kvinderne) eller fordi kvinderne gik i ekstase og forlod deres fysiske krop.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kvinderne kom i kontakt med kraften på to måder:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Ved at spise de levende dyr og smøre sig ind i deres blod og</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Ved at gå i ekstase. – Altså ved at give slip på deres individuelle krop, forlade den, og gå i et med den dionysiske kraft, der omgav dem. Deres grænseløse eller stedsløse ånd gik i et med skoven (kvinderne indeni skovens kraft).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Dyrene måtte dø, kvinderne måtte lade deres individuelle jeg dø for en tid. Men når spændingen var løst og damerne på vej hjem, bar de nyt liv i sig.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Vi kan vælge at slutte her: Angers film genfortæller et dionysisk kultdrama, hvor hovedpersonen ofrer sig selv i en erotisk ladet hyldest til de dødbringende dionysiske kaoskræfter. Liv og død, spænding og forløsning er to sider af samme sag.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Drømmetid</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Men vi kan også fortsætte:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I hovedpersonens mave ligger en metalskive og glimter i lyset fra månen. Hovedpersonen var svanger med et spejl, lyset kunne skinne i, og han blev forløst af ekstasen og døden. Vandet, op ad hvilket alle levende skabninger engang er kommet, understreger pointen.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Vandet, der risler ned over filmlærredet i sidste billede, viser igen Angers sans for det organiske og det sensuelle.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Jeg kender fra mine egne drømme, at <em>man drømmer hele drømmen på en gang</em>. Man rummer hele dramaets logik i et <em>take</em>, så at sige: er man vågnet med en afrikansk kultfigur i hånden, må man nødvendigvis ligge opsprættet med et spejl i maven, i samme åndedrag.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Af og til er der et ’hak’ i drømmen, som i en gammeldags grammofonplade – og man begynder at gentage sig selv: Nu er det bare ikke en inbenholtfigur, man har i hånden, det er et juletræ. Dramaet udspiller sig igen. Man må gennem toiletdøren. Tæsk af marineinfanterist. Død med spejl i opsprættet mave. – Hak -. Ikke en ibenholtfigur, men en stang dynamit. Skal, i drømmelogikken, fyres af fra gylp i bukser. Toiletdør. Marinesoldat. Spejl i mave.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Vi kan vælge <em>kun</em> at se drømmen som en homoseksuel sadomasochists ønskedrøm. Men så har vi overset filmdrømmens magisk-kultiske symbolik:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Volden, der af udøveren opfattes som en straf, er for ofret en vej til ekstase og dermed enhed med det guddommelige. I ekstasen undfanger offeret spejlet, evnen til at reflektere lyset, skaberkraften.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&#38;friendid=184058077"><img class="alignnone" title="faceincage" src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/giancarletto/FILM/ANGER/300/PleasureDome2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>WASP- virkeligheden</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Angers virkelighed i 1944 er en protestantisk-kristen virkelighed, der har sin egen orden i fx definitionen af mandligt og kvindeligt. En rød/grøn beklædningsgenstand, der dækker overkroppen og når til knæene er ’kvindelig’. En seksualitet, der er rettet mod mænd, er nødvendigvis ’kvindelig’ – og har reproduktion som mål.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Den virkelighed, Anger lever i, i 1944, er et sted, hvor mænd med kvindeattitude er uorden, kaotisk, forkert. Derfor har marinen (iført godt protestantisk tøj, der henviser til tanken om <em>arbejdet</em>, pladsen i samfundet, ikke seksualiteten, som livets mening) en underforstået, <em>kulturel ret</em> til at banke ham på plads.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://lesviergesmodernes.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/rabbitsmoon.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-42" title="rabbitsmoon" src="http://lesviergesmodernes.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/rabbitsmoon.jpg" alt="rabbitsmoon" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Sex-magiens virkelighed</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ved hjælp af sit kamera og sin ritualforståelse skaber Anger en ny orden, hvor der er rum for hans egen ’forkerte’ seksualitet. Det er en orden, hvor alle de elementer, vi kender fra <em>White AngloSaxon Protestant-ordenen</em> stadig er til stede. De er bare stillet op på en anden måde og deres interne referencer fungerer helt anderledes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hovedpersonen, den homosex-fixerede yndling er en synder, der skal straffes, under <em>WASP-ordenen</em>. De retfærdige, straffende, er marinesoldaterne, der i deres tøj er orienteret mod deres arbejde. - Modsat mexicanernes <em>flashy</em> rødgrønne outfits, der fremviser dem i en narcissistisk, homoerotisk selvforelskelse.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Under den <em>sex-magiske orden</em> bliver marinerne, med hele pakken af arbejdstøj og vrede mod erotiseringen af kroppen og ego’et, den fetichistiske kraft, der vækker hovedpersonen. Hovedpersonens sadomasochistiske homoseksualitet forener modsætninger som kærtegn – smerte og mand – kvinde. Som bæreren af en <em>omnipotent</em> seksualitet, er det netop ham, der i den magisk-erotiske ekstase kan besvangres - med et spejl. Et spejl, der reflekterer den kraft, ved hjælp af hvilken hele dramaet blev fortalt: <em>Lyset.</em><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<div id="attachment_41" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 180px"><a href="http://lesviergesmodernes.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/angerlucifer.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-41" title="angerlucifer" src="http://lesviergesmodernes.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/angerlucifer.jpg" alt="Anger showing Lucifer-tatoo" width="170" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Anger showing Lucifer-tatoo</p></div>
<p><strong>Lyset, der lyser på sig selv</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>Lucifer</em>, den faldne lysbærer, er dels det diabolske brændpunkt i Angers sex-magiske orden, dels, naturligvis, filmmediets skytsånd.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Som i ethvert solidt modernistisk kunstværk viser det sig, at udtryk og indhold har hinanden som vigtigste budskab.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Samtidig får Anger triumferende fortalt tilskuerne, at vi skønt vi måske tror, vi er en del af en sekulær-kristen virkelighed, så er det kun et overfladisk lag i et drama, der rækker langt dybere. Vores forståelse af, at det er heteroseksuel seksualitet og hårdt arbejde, der viderefører slægten, er blændværk.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Det er den <em>omnipotente</em> seksualitet, dyrket for at nå ekstasen, der repræsenterer den sande undfangelse og reproduktion. Reproduktionen af lyset og kreativiteten. Virkeligheden tilhører Lucifer, der styrer os som marionetdukker, der poserer og står på hænder. Som hovedpersonens seksualitet er lyset omnipotent – ud af det skabes alt. Lyset forener modsætninger og overskrider alle grænser. For eksempel grænsen mellem form og indhold og mellem film og virkelighed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Viden, kendskab til verdens sande indretning, og kreativitet og (selv)skabelse hænger sammen i Angers sex-magiske univers, præcis som det gør i <em>Gnosticismen</em>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Lyset findes, tilskuerne lever under Lucifers orden. At det forholder sig sådan, ved vi, når filmen slutter og forstår at hovedpersonens død er en hyldest til Lucifer og vi, tilskuerne, bare ved at kaste vores nyfigne blik på lærredet, netop har deltaget i hyldesten, ved, som Lucifers marionetter, at lade os genne ind foran lærredet og spille rollen som – tilskueren.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Narrative lag og virkelighedstolkning</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Når Anger følger sine film rundt i verden og præsenterer dem, har han mulighed for, fortsat, at bruge sit kunstværks dynamik. Den virkelige historie og marinen og de dekadent klædte mexikanere i Los Angeles, 1944, drømmen om den virkelige hændelse og den filmatiserede drøm er lag, der kan lægges ovenpå hinanden, som man lægger to filmstrimler ovenpå hinanden og integrerer to filmnarrativer i en ny, tredie.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Nutiden bliver en del af filmens iscenesættelse. Den tager sin tilskuer og indsætter vedkommende i sin nye virkelighedstolkning.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://lesviergesmodernes.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/isis2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-46" title="isisbyanger" src="http://lesviergesmodernes.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/isis2.jpg" alt="isisbyanger" width="130" height="96" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Det kulturelt/religiøse rum</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Vil man i snak med nogen, man ikke kender, og ikke forstår, kommer man ikke udenom den trafik. Følger man ikke den kommunikerende ind på hans præmisser, kommer man aldrig i dialog. Man vil slet ikke være i stand til at <em>se</em> den anden, hvis man ikke et øjeblik ser verden gennem den kommunikerendes øjne. Sine egne øjne kan man naturligvis aldrig give helt slip på. Men jo mere, man <em>giver slip</em>, jo klogere bliver man - siger Anger.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Men når nu, det handler om noget så personligt som forholdet til ens egen krop og forholdet til religionen. Er det så ikke et overgreb, at trække tilskueren ind i sin egen virkelighedstolkning? Måske. Følsomme sjæle vil måske føle det på den måde. Men så vil Anger også kunne opfatte sig selv som offer for et overgreb:  Vi, de sekulariserede protestanter, trækker jo vores virkelighedstolkning ned over hovedet på ham, alle de resterende 364 aftener om året.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:right;">پاکستان کی عمر ساٹھ سال سے زیادہ ہو چکی، پاکستان کی بزرگ نسل جو ستر سال کی عمر  کو پہنچ چکی ہے پاکستان کی چشم دید گواہ ہے بزرگ نسل نے پاکستان کو بنتے دیکھا ان  کو علم ہے کہ ہم سب کے آباؤاجداد نے پاکستان کے لئے بے پناہ قربانیاں دیں انہوں نے  اپنا جان و مال اور عزت سب کچھ پاکستان پر نثار کردیا نوجوان نسل اپنے بزرگوں کی  قربانیوں کا اندازہ نہیں کرسکتی کاش ہم اپنے نوجوانوں کو علم اور بے مثال قربانیوں  سے آگاہ کر سکتے اور ان میں پاکستان کی آزادی بقا اور سلامتی کے لئے تڑپ نظر  آتی۔کلدیپ نیئر بھارت کے نامور صحافی ہیں 1947ء میں ان کی عمر 24 سال تھی ان کے  والد ڈاکٹر تھے اور سیالکوٹ میں پریکٹس کرتے تھے قائداعظم محمد علی جناح نے اقلیتوں  کو مساوی حقوق دینے کی یقین دہانی کرائی تھی کلدیپ نیئر کا خاندان پاکستان میں ہی  رہنا چاہتا تھا مگر بھارت کی تقسیم کے بعد اچانک فسادات پھوٹ پڑے اور کلدیپ نیئر کے  خاندان کو اپنا سب کچھ سیالکوٹ میں چھوڑ کر دہلی جانا پڑا۔ کلدیپ نے اپنی نئی کتاب  ’’Tale of Two Cities‘‘ ’’دوشہروں کی کہانی‘‘ میں سیالکوٹ سے دہلی تک کے سفر کی  روداد بیان کی ہے جو دلچسپ بھی ہے اور چشم کشا بھی ہے کلدیپ نیئر بیان کرتے  ہیں۔’’میں سیالکوٹ سے جانا نہیں چاہتا تھا سیالکوٹ میرا گھر تھا اور جہاں پر میں  پیدا ہوا اور پروان چڑھا تھا میں نے اس شہر میں زندگی کی 24بہاریں گزاری تھیں میرے  بچپن کے دوست اس شہر میں رہتے تھے اگر بھارت میں کروڑوں مسلمان ہندوؤں کے ساتھ رہ  سکتے تھے تو ایک ہندو خاندان پاکستان کی اسلامی ریاست میں کیوں نہیں رہ سکتا تھا۔  یہ درست ہے کہ بھارت مذہب کی بنیاد پر تقسیم ہوا تھا مگر کانگریس اور مسلم لیگ  دونوں نے آبادی کی منتقلی کی مخالفت کی تھی لوگ اپنے اپنے شہروں میں رہ سکتے تھے  1947ء میں مجھے سیالکوٹ میں ناپسند کیوں کیا گیا جہاں پر میرے آباؤ اجداد صدیوں سے  قیام پذیر رہے تھے۔میرے والد کے مریض مسلمان تھے اس لیے بھی ہم سیالکوٹ میں ہی رہنا  چاہتے تھے میرا بہترین دوست شفقت تھا جس سے محبت کے اظہار کی وجہ سے میں نے اپنے  بازو پر چاند ستارے کا اسلامی نشان کندہ کرایا ہوا تھا میں نے فارسی میں گریجویشن  کی ہوئی تھی حکومت پاکستان نے اردو کو سرکاری زبان قرار دے رکھا تھا اردو میری  پسندیدہ زبان تھی ہماری کافی جائیداد تھی اور نوکر چاکر تھے۔ اگر ہم ہجرت پر مجبور  ہوتے تو ہم کہاں جاسکتے تھے ہمارے پیر کی قبر بھی ہمارے گھر کے عقب میں تھی ہمارے  خاندان کو کوئی مشکل پڑتی تو یہ پیر ہماری رہنمائی کرتے ہم اپنے پیر کو کیسے چھوڑ  سکتے تھے پیر کی قبر ہماری پناہ گاہ تھی ہمیں وہاں روحانی سکون ملتا تھا میری ماں  جب تھی میرے باپ سے جھگڑ پڑتی وہ سکون کیلئے پیر کی قبر پر چلی جاتی۔ ہم تین بھائی  اور ایک بہن ہر جمعرات کو پیر کی قبر پر عقیدت سے اپنا سر جھکاتے اور دیئے روشن  کرتے۔ یہی ہمارا مندر تھا سیالکوٹ کے باسی سادہ، نرم دل اور برداشت کرنے والے تھے۔  وہ ایک مختلف سانچے میں ڈھلے ہوئے تھے مذہب کی بنیاد پر ہمارے درمیان کوئی فاصلہ  نہیں تھا سیالکوٹ میں ستر فیصد مسلمان اور تیس فیصد ہندو اور سکھ تھے جہاں تک مجھے  یاد ہے ہم کبھی آپس میں تلخ بھی نہیں ہوئے تھے۔ہم مشترکہ طور پر عید، دیوالی اور  ہولی مناتے تھے۔ محرم میں ہم سب ماتم کرتے ہمارے کاروبار مشترک تھے ہندو مسلمان  اکٹھے مزدوری کرتے تحریک پاکستان کے عروج کے زمانے میں بھی سیالکوٹ ٹینشن (کشیدگی)  سے محفوظ رہا کاروبار معمول کے مطابق چلتا رہا سیالکوٹ میں مسلم لیگ اور کانگریس نے  چند جلوس نکالے تھے پاکستان کا اعلان ہوتے ہی ہم سب نے خوشی منائی خوشیاں اس وقت  ماند پڑنے لگیں جب مسلمان بھارت سے ہجرت کر کے پاکستان آنے لگے البتہ کشیدگی پھر  بھی پیدا نہ ہوئی ہم سب پنجابی بولتے تھے۔ایک دن ہم لنچ کر رہے تھے کہ محلے میں  سراسیمگی پھیل گئی اور ہمیں اپنا سب کچھ چھوڑ کر سیالکوٹ سے رخصت ہونا پڑا دوپہر کے  بعد ہماری جیپ لاہور پہنچی لاہور کے مضافات میں ہمیں رکنا پڑا ہمیں بتایا گیا کہ  امرتسر میں مسلمانوں کے قافلے پر حملہ ہو گیا ہے اور لاہور میں مسلمان سڑکوں پر  کھڑے ہیں تاکہ انتقام لے سکیں ہم جیپ سے نیچے اتر گئے اور خوف سے خاموش کھڑے رہے  اللہ اکبر، یاعلیٓ، پاکستان زندہ باد کے نعروں کی آوازیں آر ہی تھیں جب ہم سرحد پر  پہنچے تو ’’بھارت ماتا کی جے‘‘ کے نعرے سنے ہم خوش تھے کہ زندہ سرحد عبور کر سکے  میں نے دوسری جانب سے کچھ لوگوں کو آتے ہوئے دیکھا وہ مسلمان تھے ان کے چہروں پر  بھی اذیت کے تاثرات تھے انہوں نے اپنا سامان سروں پر اٹھا رکھا تھا اور ان کے بچے  سہمے ہوئے ان کے ساتھ چل رے تھے وہ بھی اپنے گھر، دوست اور امیدیں چھوڑ کر پاکستان  آئے تھے ہم نے پاکستان کی جانب آنے والے کارواں کے لئے راستہ چھوڑ دیا ہم رک گئے وہ  بھی رک گئے مگر کسی نے کوئی بات نہ کی۔ ہم نے ایک دوسرے کو خوف سے نہیں ہمدردی کی  نظروں سے دیکھا ہم دونوں مہاجر تھے دونوں کے زخم، نقصان اور مجبوریاں مشترکہ تھیں  امرتسر ریلوے سٹیشن مہاجروں سے بھرا پڑا تھا جو ٹرین آتی فوری طور پر مسافروں سے  بھر جاتی۔ مجھے دہلی کی ٹرین میں گھسنے کے لیے پوری طاقت استعمال کرنا پڑی میرے  بازو پر کندہ چاندتارے کا اسلامی نشان نظر آنے لگا میری شناخت کے بارے میں کھسر  پھسر ہونے لگی کیا یہ مسلمان ہے ایک نے گالی دیتے ہوئے کہا اسلامی نشان نے گاڑی کے  ڈبے میں موجود مسافروں کو میرے مسلمان ہونے کا یقین دلا دیا۔ مجھے لدھیانہ سٹیشن پر  گاڑی سے باہر نکال لیا گیا اتفاق سے سیالکوٹ کے اکثر ہندو لدھیانہ منتقل ہو رہے تھے  سکھ تلواریں اور خنجر ہاتھ میں لیے میرے اردگرد جمع ہو گئے مجھے کہا گیا کہ میں  ثابت کروں کہ میں ہندو ہوں۔ ان کی آنکھوں میں خون تھا قبل اس کے کہ میں اپنی پتلون  اتار کر اپنے ہندو ہونے کا ثبوت پیش کرتا میرے محلے کا ایک حلوائی میری جان بچانے  کے لئے آگے آیا۔ اس نے چیختے ہوئے کہا کہ میں ڈاکٹر صاحب کا بیٹا ہوں ایک اورشخص نے  تصدیق کی اور ہجوم منشتر ہو گیا میری جان بچ گئی اور میں دہلی پہنچ گیا محترم  قارئین یہ ہندو مہاجر کی کہانی ہے میں اپنے کالم مسلمان خاندان کی بھارت سے پاکستان  ہجرت کی داستان بھی بیان کروں گا تاکہ میرے دیس کے نوجوان جان سکیں کہ پاکستان آگ  اور خون کادریا عبور کر کے حاصل کیا گیا تھا پاکستان کے والی اور وارث نوجوان ہیں  وہ اپنی مادر وطن کے تحفظ اور دفاع کے لئے آگے آئیں۔</p>

<description><![CDATA[.
1) O Parmera:
Em 1947, era dado como certo o primeiro tricampeonato da triste história leonoresca]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">1) <em><strong>O Parmera:</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em 1947, era dado como certo o primeiro tricampeonato da triste história leonoresca. Seria o terceiro título paulista em três anos, mas o Verdão entrou em campo para rasgar as vestes da meretriz, aplicando-lhe um 4 x 3 e desmanchando seus sonhos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Campeã paulista de 48 e 49, Madame chegava ao ano santo de 1950 novamente embalada e favorita ao título; mas teria de enfrentar e bater os Homens de Verde para conquistar a glória inédita do tricampeonato, e aí não deu&#8230; Em uma partida no Pacaembu que entrou para a História como &#8220;o Jogo da Lama&#8221; (devido à emoção da peleja e à forte chuva que esmerdeou o gramado, não graças a mais uma falcatrua do emo-clube), o Alviverde conquistaria seu segundo título do ano (conquistaria mais três, fechando as Cinco Coroas do ano santo).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Já na década de 70, Madame fez tudo direitinho: tinha um ditador de presidente, árbitros que eram coniventes com o poder público, por bem ou por mal, e ainda conseguiu transferir todos seus jogos importantes para o Privadão, que fica ali na chácara da esposa de Adhemar de Barros. E assim sagrou-se bicampeã paulista, nos anos de 70 e 71. E, em 1972, o clube bem-amado fazia uma campanha impecável, e chegou ao final do certame invicto: agora vinha o tri?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bom, acontece que participava daquela disputa uma certa Academia, que estava tinindo, e que havia anotado uma campanha ainda mais irretocável. Na hora do &#8220;vamo vê&#8221;, sobraram os dois, invictos, e os Homens de Verde jogavam pelo empate. E foi com um clássico 0 x 0 que o Palestra novamente frearia os anseios da grande cortesã, sagrando-se campeão paulista.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pulamos para a década de 90 quando, sob a liderança de um bonequinho de <em>marquetíngue</em> que vendia <em>Danete</em>, Madame obteve êxito em 91 e 92, abocanhando mais um bi Paulista. 1993 chegava com a promessa de levar para o Jd. Leonor a primeira honra de um tricampeonato. Nesse ano, porém, as meninas sucumbiriam diante do nosso rival nas semi-finais. Mas, por um capricho histórico, no ano onde novamente o tri não viria, o Palmeiras se sagraria campeão.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quatro vezes. No cu dela.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Aí vieram as obsessões que a nossa geração já conhece: Madame bate o pé e afirma ser tricampeã mundial, mesmo a Fifa desautorizando, mesmo que ela compute nessa soma dois jogos na neve do Japão, às 9:00 da manhã, contra times mistos da Europa em pré-temporada. Em um deles, ganhou contra o Milan, que nem campeão europeu havia sido - estava lá somente para tapar o buraco do Olympique, pois o time francês acabara de ser banido de competições internacionais justamente por se comportar nos bastidores de uma maneira <em>à la</em> SPFW.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ganharam, sim, três Leonores de América. Mas não foi na sequência e foi daquele jeitinho que já nos cansamos de mostrar, eliminando à fórceps seus concorrentes indesejáveis, como o Palestra, mais recentemente, por exemplo. Um torneio que nunca mereceu destaque algum na grande mídia, até que o mais querido conquistasse o primeiro triunfo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Porque aqui, entre os nossos, onde o futebol é escrito com F maiúsculo e onde todos desprezam essa corja imunda, não conseguiram nenhum tri, não: sempre apareceu o Palestra Itália para restabelecer a ordem das coisas, sempre que foi necessário.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por isso fiquei feliz domingo à noite, quando olhei a tabela. Agora sei que seremos campeões.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">2) <em><strong>A Putana:</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">*Se você passou hoje pelo blogue no Palhaço Juquinha, já deve ter visto essa: o chupa-ovo deixou um post maldoso ali, tirando sarro da condição etílica de Rubens Barrichello na festa que sucedeu aquela veadagem de F1. Sim, o P.J., o mesmo garoto de recados que teve de ligar para o resgate e precaver os paramédicos para que comparecessem com litros de glicose à sede da ESPN, após entrevista com J.J. Scotch Whiskey. Mas, sobre isso, você não vai ler uma linha lá.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">*Palavras de José Roberto Wright, que, não por acaso, faz um biquinho nas páginas do Boletim de Madame: &#8220;<em>Não acho que haja dolo ou complô por parte da Comissão Nacional de Arbitragem ou dos mesmos. A maior besteira que escuto seguidamente é que os apitadores querem ajudar os clubes de São Paulo. Quanta bobagem!</em>&#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Também acho, Wright. Afinal, o único time de sampa na disputa é o Verdão, que tem sido seguidamente prejudicado. Santos e Lusa estão se afogando, o rivale nem está entre nós e aquele time genérico (por todo canto do mundo há um time de elite, que joga sujo e que todos rejeitam) poderia ter surgido em qualquer lugar onde as liberdades individuais de um povo fossem suprimidas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">3) <em><strong>O cabeçudinho:</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">É tanta falta de cultura que nem sei se vale a pena responder a esse parasita sem talento. Diria que o comentário da leitora <strong><a href="http://cruzdesavoia.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/sem-talento-e-educacao/#comment-2747" target="_blank">Mi</a></strong> é mais que suficiente para reduzir à insignificância o caráter do filho do camelô midiático. Mas vou deixar aqui pequenas considerações; assim, da próxima vez que ele for tentar ser mal-educado com um torcedor que lhe apresenta argumentos, pelo menos não vai passar o vexame de se mostrar um ignorante que só está onde está porque o papai tem dinheiro.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Em primeiro lugar, se fosse realmente preciso, pegaríamos em armas, sim. Nossos antepassados fizeram isso para defender os constitucionalistas de 32, pelo simples fato de que queriam ser vistos como brasileiros, queriam ser aceitos pelo próprio povo&#8230; Entre outras coisas, não queriam ver um verme sem cultura e sem história como você vir vomitar esse tipo de merda 80 anos depois.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">* Outra coisa, orlandinho: a Academia foi prejudicada, e muito. O time da ditadura militar, aquele para o qual papai te ensinou a torcer porque &#8220;é uma grande moleza&#8221;, garfou o título de 71 quando o sr. Armando Marques anulou gol legítimo de Leivinha, com medo do governador biônico que estava sentado no banco de reservas e era presidente da Boutique. Nem isso você sabe, marginal&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In 1900, India was part of the British Empire; but by the end of 1947, India had achieved independence.</p>
<p>For most of the Nineteenth Century, India was ruled by the British. India was considered the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. Queen Victoria had been made Empress of India and the British had a major military presence in India.</p>
<p>Indian nationals had no say in central government and even at a local level, their influence on policy and decision making was minimal.</p>
<p>In 1885, educated middle class nationals had founded the Indian National Conference (INC). Their aim was to get a much greater say in the way India was governed.</p>
<p>In response to this development, the Morley-Minto reforms were introduced in 1909. Morley was the Secretary of State for India and Lord Morley was Viceroy of India. Their reforms lead to each province in India having its own governor and Indian nationals were allowed to sit on the councils which advised these governors.</p>
<p>After 1918, nationalism within India intensified. This was probably due to 2 reasons:</p>
<p>1. Many educated nationals in India were far from satisfied with the Morley-Minto reforms. White Englishmen still dominated India and there had been no real decrease in their power or increase in national power. The INC (Indian National Council) wanted a lot more.</p>
<p>2. Woodrow Wilson had stimulated the minds of many people with his belief in national self-determination – i.e. that people from a country had a right to govern themselves. The whole concept of national self-determination undermined the basic idea of the British Empire – that the British governed this empire (or people appointed by the British to do the same). For national self-determination to fully work, India would have to be governed by the Indians living there.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>With the arrival of the cold weather I have heard predictions of a hard winter to come and I thought back to the winter of 1947. No doubt the adults viewed it in a different light from us, but to us it was a magical time, deep snow for weeks on end and extra days off school when the boiler broke down, the pipes froze or there was no coke to stoke the boiler! When we were at school I remember having to break the ice on our free bottles of milk. On the days off we would take our sledge to the forest and toboggan up and down the slopes and have snowball fights. I was quite spoilt as I was the only girl in my brother&#8217;s gang as well as being the youngest. I unashamedly played on  this and would have four little boys pulling me on the sledge, while I was cosily wrapped in the snow suit my mother had made me from her old fur coat.</p>
<p>This was soon after the war and rationing was still in force and even coal was rationed though we were more fortunate than some as my father worked for the colliery and we had the miners allowance plus a load of logs, sent to us by a relative in the country to supplement our fuel.</p>
<p>Power cuts did not affect us as much as they would nowadays as there was no TV and we had few electric gadgets and few homes had central heating. We had one coal fire in the living room and this was part of a range which had an oven on one side and a boiler on the other. There was no heating upstairs unless we were ill and then a fire was lit in the small fireplace, the rest of the time we got undressed very quickly and snuggled under extra blankets and a huge fluffy eiderdown.</p>
<p>We had lots of homemade soup, stews, apples, pears and bottled fruit preserved from the summer. We also had a daily dose of cod liver oil and malt, so stayed pretty healthy despite the weather, so all in all we children had a wonderful winter!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="snap_preview">
<p>1947 started with a nightmare. A creature grabbed hold of me, keeping hold of me by force, “I have something I must give you.”</p>
<p>The creature engulfed me. I could not breath, though I fought to scream. I could not move, though I tried my hardest. It had me in its clutches and refused to let go.</p>
<p>I woke with a jolt, taking a deep breath but I did not scream. I’m just not a screamer because this nightmare should have done just that. My fight or flight response was off the chart, yet I lay there trying to forget the creature.</p>
<p>The clock read just after three, I’d hardly been asleep for an hour. I put my head back on the pillow but could not close my eyes. Each time I did, I was suffocating again. Thirty minutes was enough and I was out of bed, sitting at my computer trying to ignore the creepy crawls that were still with me as well.</p>
<p>I am plagued by nightmares. For as long as I can remember I’ve always had them, which is funny in itself because it takes a lot to scare me. I will admit that my creature visit did it. It’s been almost a month and I still shudder at the thought of it.</p>
<p>The questions I asked myself from the moment it spoke was, “What did it give me, or try to?”</p>
<p>The next morning I received my answer.</p>
<p>I’d gone to bed early, since thanks to my nighttime visitor, I was a little on the tired side. I’d fallen asleep easy, also very rare for me. And I’d dreamt, which I always do. This was different somehow. Very clear, each word, each scene, each person.</p>
<p>“She stole the money.” People kept whispering.</p>
<p>“You have to go home,” said the honey-haired man in the army uniform.</p>
<p>The woman with auburn hair sat on the dock fishing. I saw the coast and saw her travel. I saw the story and the people in it. I saw 1947.</p>
<p>So, I woke that morning and sat at the computer, this time not sending a 4 am email about the creature to my poor sister, but to write out Maddy’s story. Maddy was the woman sitting on the dock and I could see her, and the creature wanted me to tell everyone about her.</p>
<p>I do hope that if the creature wants to give me more stories, that it does so in a better way, but as long as they are stories like Maddy’s I will take them however it wants to give them.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Coloradoan says Republicans so far outnumber Democrats in early voting here in Larimer County. &#8220;Corridors leading to the early voting site at the county courthouse, 200 W. Oak St., were busy all day,&#8221; it reads.</p>
<p>This calls for a visual metaphor: </p>
<p><a href="http://lostfortcollins.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/elephants2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-491" title="elephants2" src="http://lostfortcollins.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/elephants2.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>This 1947 photo shows elephants marching from the train on Mason Street to the Circus at City Park. See the familiar stone wall that marks the entrance to City Park at right? </p>
<p>So you see, elephants on Oak Street are nothing new.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Bisher sind<strong> 2.800.000.000.000 Dollar vernichtet</strong>. (Davon könnte man sich 138 Millionen Flaschen des Lieblingsweins der Banker kaufen, siehe unten.)</p>
<p>Den Betrag nennt die Bank von England. (Quelle siehe unten, <em>The Guardian</em>.)</p>
<p>Der englische Wirtschaftsminister warnt: &#8220;<strong>Wir erleben eine beispiellose Finanzkrise. Ich glaube nicht, dass die Menschen schon erkannt haben, was die Auswirkung  für die reale Wirtschaft sein wird</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Mandelson was more blunt as he warned of the impact of the recession. &#8220;We are facing an unparalleled financial crisis,&#8221; he said during a visit to Moscow. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think yet people have realised what the impact is going to be on our real economy.&#8221;"<br />
<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/oct/28/economics-credit-crunch-bank-england"><strong>Quelle.</strong></a></p></blockquote>
<p>Der <em>Guardian</em><strong> </strong>fragt am Ende des Artikels wie man mit der ungeheueren Summe  (2.800.000.000.000) zurande komme und nennt anschauliche Beispiele. Eines ist:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Wenn man den Lieblingswein der Banker nimmt - Petrus Pomerol von 1947 - so könnte man davon 138 Millionen Flaschen kaufen.<br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s equal to <strong>138m bottles of 1947 Petrus Pomerol, </strong>the bankers&#8217; favourite vintage.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Wenn die Angaben des Guardian korrekt sind so ergibt meine Rechnung einen Preis von 20.289,86 Dollar pro Flasche Petrus Pomerol 1947. Ich hoffe falsch gerechnet zu haben.</p>
<p>Ich fürchte die Rechnung stimmt: siehe <strong><a href="http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/Ch+Petrus/1947/-/USD/A/-/0">hier</a></strong> und nach unten scrollen, Auszug folgt:</p>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Kashmir Black Day, the annual commemoration of the landing of Indian security forces in Srinagar]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><a href="http://shahrulpeshawar.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/slide115.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-757" title="slide115" src="http://shahrulpeshawar.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/slide115.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Kashmir Black Day, the annual commemoration of the landing of Indian security forces in Srinagar on Oct. 27, 1947, is being observed to highlight the plight of Kashmiris caused by India&#8217;s deployment of 700,000 troops in the valley. Thousands of its inhabitants had been martyred. The <span class="yshortcuts" style="background:none transparent scroll repeat 0 0;cursor:hand;border-bottom:#0066cc 1px dashed;">Jammu and Kashmir</span> dispute is one of the oldest unresolved issues of the world and one that has always remained a top priority for the Muslim Youth Movement of <span class="yshortcuts">Malaysia</span> (ABIM).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><a href="http://shahrulpeshawar.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/slide210.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-758" title="slide210" src="http://shahrulpeshawar.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/slide210.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">ABIM reaffirms full solidarity and support with the <span class="yshortcuts" style="cursor:hand;border-bottom:#0066cc 1px dashed;">Kashmiri people</span> in their legitimate struggle for self-determination through peaceful means and in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions. We appreciate the commitment made for an early, peaceful and negotiated settlement of this dispute by <span class="yshortcuts">Pakistan</span> and hope that <span class="yshortcuts">India</span> demonstrates the same determination in order to give the peace process a significant push. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">India</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">&#8217;s illegal occupation of Kashmir is a dark chapter in the history of human rights. A continued denial of the right to self-determination to the Kashmiri people is morally unacceptable, economically unsustainable and politically inadmissible with regard to any scheme aimed at ensuring global and regional peace, stability and security. Kashmir can never be resolved without the participation and consensus of the people of Kashmir. Contrary to prevailing mythology, Kashmir is not merely a border quarrel between India and Pakistan. Its central concern is the self-determination and human rights of the <span class="yshortcuts">Kashmiri people</span> that have been scorned, mocked, and trampled on for more than 60 years. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The chilling suffering and misery of the Kashmiri people continues every day a peaceful resolution is deferred. We believe that the way to a peaceful settlement of the Kashmir issue lies in tripartite negotiations between India, Pakistan and the accredited leadership of the people of Jammu &#38; Kashmir from both sides of the Cease-fire Line. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><a href="http://shahrulpeshawar.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/slide33.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-759" title="slide33" src="http://shahrulpeshawar.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/slide33.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">ABIM, together with Global Peace Malaysia, friends and sympathizers of the Kashmir cause in Malaysia and the region will be organizing a &#8220;Kashmir Black Day&#8221; in solidarity with the oppressed of Jammu &#38; Kashmir people. Their sufferings over the past six decades will be highlighted during mini exhibitions and speeches planned to mark the day. </span></p>

of the Macedonian Minority in Greece</p>
<p>July, 2008</p>
<p>Dushan Sinadinoski</p>
<p>The modern Greek folly has always been its persistent but reckless denial of the existence of a Macedonian nationality. The hysteric intolerance against ethnic Macedonians has distorted the Greek collective consciousness so much that Greeks are no longer capable of differentiating between their wish that Macedonians were truly nonexistent and the actual Macedonian reality, which so defiantly confronts them.</p>
<p>As their Macedonian phobia continues to feed their schizophrenic psyches, rather than dealing with the Macedonian reality like rational people, they instead cry out for sympathy and comfort while hoping to be freed from their Macedonian nightmare, just like a small child who has awakened from a bad dream and cries out to his parents for comfort.</p>
<p>Such was the case in 1947 when the Greek government protested to the United Nations’ Security Council regarding border violations by its northern neighbors. Greece demanded that Yugoslavia cease and desist overt military and logistical aid to the guerrillas fighting in the Greek Civil War, many of whom were ethnic Macedonians.</p>
<p>On December 19 1946, a Commission of Investigating was established by the United Nations pursuant to the resolution of the Security Council to examine alleged Greek frontier incidents. To the surprise and dismay of the Greek government, the Commission of Inquiry broadened its scope of investigation to include the treatment of minorities, tendentious misstatements of facts in press and radio, activities of foreign military and police missions in the four countries concerned and arraignments of free port or free zone facilities in Salonika.</p>
<p>Outraged by the Commission’s expanded mission, Greece threatened the immediate execution of political prisoners and captured “bandits” unless the Commission narrowed its scope of investigating to the original request. However, after heavy arm-twisting by the United States the Greek government halted the executions and allowed the Commission to proceed without further impediment.</p>
<p>The United States was concerned that if Greece carried out the execution of the Macedonians world opinion would turn against Greece, which would give Yugoslavia, supported by the Soviets, a pretext to invade and detach Aegean Macedonia from Greece. In order to save face, and perhaps their country, Greek Ambassador, Dendramis, was instructed by the United States to inform the Security Council that Greece’s protest was filed merely so there could be no grounds for misunderstanding regarding the interpretation of the terms of reference” (Telegram from Secretary of State to the US Embassy in Greece, February 8, 1947).</p>
<p>The United States understood that if Greece continued on its reckless political course it was only a matter of weeks before it fell to the Soviet block. Therefore, such a communist scenario for the future of Greece had to be prevented from becoming a reality.</p>
<p>Once the Commission began its work, the investigation of the Greek border incidents was downgraded as a minor issue. Such incidents, as the Commission contended, were regular occurrences in the Balkans for centuries and this issue in itself did not warrant an investigation at the United Nations level.</p>
<p>But the United States and Britain used this issue as a pretext to counterbalance Soviet expansion to the Balkans by preserving Greek territorial integrity. Britain and the Unites States were convinced that Yugoslavia wanted to detach the Aegean and Pirin parts of Macedonia from Greece and Bulgaria respectively and create an autonomous Macedonian state within the Yugoslav Federation.</p>
<p>Thus in the midst of this global political drama, the Macedonian issue again took center stage. But the ensuing colossal political battle between East and West instantly relegated Greece and Macedonia to the sidelines as spectators of their own destiny. The political drama was moved from the bloody foothills in Greece to the stately halls in Geneva. There, the ideological demarcation line between East and West was drawn alongside the Greek-Macedonian border, and as a result Greece and Macedonia continued their bitter rivalry on opposite sides of each other.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, the Commission’s investigation was not interrupted and it was able to gather first hand information on the issues in question. However, before the findings were officially published, Commission representatives regularly communicated their findings to their respective governments for further evaluation and for instructions by their foreign affairs departments.</p>
<p>In one instance, the US Commission representative, Mark Ethridge, on May 8, 1947, sent a secret telegram to US Secretary of State, Marshall, informing him that “Greece itself by its own short sighted attitude and by its discriminatory and gangster-like methods was providing grist for the mill of political indoctrination and training in northern countries. It is noteworthy that a very large proportion of the refugees from Greece are Slavo-Macedonians who bore the brunt of discrimination. It seems clear to me that unless the discriminatory treatment stops flight to the mountains or across the borders will not stop. Thus this is the interrelation between nature and the causes and conclusion that Greece’s discrimination has caused thousands to flee.”</p>
<p>This short but revealing passage summarizes the entire political landscape in Aegean Macedonia and accurately depicts the state of the Macedonian minority in Greece. It is also evident that the American diplomat clearly acknowledges the existence of the Macedonian minority in Greece and he leaves no room for questioning which minority he is referring to. Additionally, he doesn’t hide the fact that Greece’s domestic policy is the root cause of the plight of refugees and the discrimination against the Macedonian minority.</p>
<p>Ever conspiring and manipulating, Greece could not admit to the world it could be guilty of the most notorious crimes against the Macedonian minority. Greece wanted the free and democratic world to believe that the existence of the Macedonian minority, the plight of the Macedonian refugees and the execution of the Macedonian political prisoners were fallacious charges because Greece denied them. To further cover up their mess, Greece shifted the blame on Yugoslavia for stirring up trouble in Greece.</p>
<p>In their support, Greece offered to the Commission as evidence quotes from speeches of Yugoslav and Bulgarian statesmen from articles in the press, which to the Greeks meant unequivocal proof that Yugoslavia agitated a separate Macedonian state within the Yugoslav Federation and thus exploited the aspiration of Macedonians in Greece for an autonomous Macedonia. Thus it seems Greeks wanted to simultaneously claim both the non-existence of the Macedonian minority and blame Yugoslavia for fermenting dissatisfaction and disturbances among the Macedonians in Greece. This can’t be true in any world, not even in a Venizelos’ Greek-a-polis.</p>
<p>Based on its findings, the Commission’s conclusions clearly and unequivocally put the blame on Greece for a policy of systematic discrimination and persecution of the Macedonian minority in that country. Even though Macedonians in Greece were not the primary goal of the Commission, some of its conclusions undeniably confirmed the existence of a Macedonian minority:</p>
<p>1) It was pointed out to the Commission and not disputed that after the Varkiza agreement over 20,000 Greek citizens had fled into Yugoslavia either directly or through Albania or Bulgaria and approximately 5,000 into Bulgaria, a substantial proportion in each case being of Slavo-Macedonian origin. Evidence was also presented in support of the charge that Greece has sanctioned persecution of its Slavo-Macedonian minorities. Furthermore, the Commission heard testimony that the Slavic dialect spoken by Slavo-Macedonians who were believed to comprise about 85,000 people was not taught in schools and that in certain areas, use of this dialect was prohibited.” These findings by the Commission were so compelling in their condemnation of the Greek state that they left no room for doubt.</p>
<p>2) The Commission is of the opinion that as long as such discriminatory treatment continues, there will be unrest and discontent on the part of the Slavic minority in Greek Macedonia, which will provide fertile breeding ground for a separatist movement.</p>
<p>3) In connection with the present situation, the Greek Commission was presented with a body of evidence in support of the charges that responsibility for the situation lay with Greek domestic policy… This evidence was in effect that opposition political groups in Greece were persecuted by Greek gendarmerie and right-wing bandits, and that the civil rights of the Macedonian and Chamuriot minorities have been restricted</p>
<p>4) The Commission also received sufficient evidence to warrant a conclusion that immediately after the liberation of Greece, the small Slav speaking and Chamuriot minority in Greco-Macedonia and Epirus had been victims of retaliatory excesses, and Chamuriot minority had actually fled en masse from the country. As regards treatment of minorities, the Greek government asserted the acts in question were committed before it established control in the areas concerned, and that many members of these minority groups had collaborated with Axis occupying forces during war</p>
<p>Considering that these conclusions were unintended consequences, the findings of the Commission reveal disturbing and undeniable evidence of an official Greek policy of persecution and discrimination against the Macedonian minority. These accusations against the Greek state in 1947 were not “dreamed” up. They were findings by the United Nations Commission of Investigating and were consistent with the facts on the ground. These findings speak loudly and plainly to the world that the Greek denial of the Macedonian minority transcends all rationality. Indeed, this denial has become a Greek national blasphemy.</p>
<p>The Greek national obsession with the Macedonian issue continues to regenerate itself as a persistent and bloody hatred that is no longer capable of self-control. Greece has gone wrong on the Macedonian issue and Greek society cannot be expected to find a cure for its anti-Macedonian paranoia. It’s time for the international community to call upon Greece and help this nation transcend the bounds of its delusional fascination with the Megale Idea.</p>
<p>The report of Commission of Investigation was signed at Geneva on May 23, 1947. The conclusions were subscribed by Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, Columbia, Syria, United Kingdom and the United States. The delegations of Soviet Union and Poland did not approve the conclusions and the French delegation abstained. The United Nations has published the Commission’s report in Official Records of the Security Council, Second Year, Special Supplement No. 2.</p>

El final de la II Guerra Mun]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://historiaencomentarios.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/klement_gottwald.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-167" title="Klement_Gottwald" src="http://historiaencomentarios.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/klement_gottwald.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="371" /></a><strong>Artículo publicado por la web <a href="http://www.lorem-ipsum.es/publicaciones/articulo.php?art=68">Club Lorem Ipsum</a> el 13 de abril de 2007.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El final de la II Guerra Mundial trajo consigo la división del mundo entre las dos grandes cosmovisiones. En contra de lo que esperaban los occidentales más optimistas, Stalin y su régimen no habían cambiado -salvo en el incremento de su poderío- a raíz de su estrecha relación con británicos y norteamericanos durante el conflicto. La URSS mantenía su antigua aspiración de llevar a cabo la revolución comunista a escala mundial. De esta manera, a lo largo de los años 1945 y 1946, las diferencias entre los miembros de la triunfadora Gran Alianza –anglosajones y eslavos- fueron ampliándose. En 1947, como demuestran los documentos oficiales de estas potencias y las declaraciones de sus dirigentes, la brecha resultaba ya insalvable: había dado comienzo la Guerra Fría.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El “Telón de Acero”, descrito magistralmente por Winston Churchill en Fulton (Missouri), había caído sobre Europa. Sin embargo, cabe preguntarse cómo llegaron todos los países del Este a formar parte del sistema planetario que giraba en torno al gran sol del Kremlin. Es cierto que así lo habían acordado los vencedores de la II Guerra Mundial en las conferencias de Yalta y Potsdam. También es verdad que el Ejército Rojo ocupaba, con la presión que ello suponía, esos territorios. No obstante, lo más interesante de todo el proceso de sovietización de la Europa del Este no son estas cuestiones fundamentales para el triunfo comunista. Lo curioso, el aspecto en el que se va a centrar este artículo, es cómo se las ingeniaron los soviéticos para dar un ropaje de aparente legalidad a la revolución política que llevaron a cabo en esos países; cómo trataron de hacer creer al mundo –aunque en el fondo todos sabían la verdad- que eran esos pueblos los que habían escogido la senda del marxismo-leninismo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mientras el ejército de los soviets iba liberando la parte oriental del continente del yugo nacionalsocialista –es curioso ese fenómeno de cambiar la esclavitud parda por la roja-, desde Moscú se preparaban para transformar estos territorios en estados-satélite. Cientos de políticos y propagandista comunistas de nacionalidad húngara, polaca, checoslovaca, búlgara y rumana caminaban detrás de las divisiones rusas con la misión de organizar el partidos comunista de sus respectivos países. Sándor Márai, al hablar de ellos en <em>¡Tierra! ¡Tierra!</em>, dice que llegaron demacrados y sin nada que llevarse a la boca. Sin embargo, con la ayuda de las autoridades soviéticas, lograron ocupar los principales puestos de la administración del Estado en pocas semanas. Dejaron de ser unos miserables y pasaron a disfrutar de las comodidades y lujos reservados a marqueses, empresarios y mariscales. Así, más o menos, describe el literato húngaro la llegada de estos personajes. Ahí estarían comunistas míticos como Bierut, Rákosi, Gottwald, Rajk, Pauker… políticos que en pocos meses, bajo la supervisión y auxilio de Moscú, tomaron el control de media Europa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No obstante, resultaba evidente que, de cara a los primeros comicios de posguerra, estos misioneros del internacionalismo no iban a lograr el respaldo electoral necesario para gobernar. Por esa razón, Stalin decidió resucitar la figura del frentepopulismo para formar grandes coaliciones de izquierdas. Los Frentes Populares habían funcionado ya en el periodo anterior a la II Guerra Mundial -en especial en Francia y España-, y su finalidad principal era contener la expansión del fascismo por Europa. El Kremlin favoreció en los años treinta la consecución de esos pactos porque veía en ellos, no sólo un arma eficaz para evitar el surgimiento de nuevos hitleres, sino también porque aspiraba a instaurar el comunismo a través de ellos. En los gobiernos frentepopulistas los comunistas estaban destinados a ocupar los principales resortes del control estatal: la seguridad y la propaganda. Podían no ser numerosos, tampoco hacía falta que ocuparan muchos ministerios; tan sólo hacía era necesario que se situasen en los puestos claves. Desde esa posición de influencia los comunistas miembros del ejecutivo tendrían que ir eliminando legal o moralmente a sus rivales. Seguían la llamada “táctica del salchichón”: iban minando poco a poco a los enemigos, después a los aliados, y, finalmente, era en el propio partido donde se llevaban a cabo las purgas. Este manera de extender la revolución bolchevique se ensayó al final del periodo de Entreguerras, pero su gran éxito como modelo de actuación política llegó con el final de la II Guerra Mundial.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Entre 1945 y 1947 fueron desfilando por las cárceles y juzgados de la Europa del Este miles de personas acusadas de apoyar al fascismo. Las primeras víctimas de estos procesos fueron los políticos de la derecha, pero más tarde les llegó el turno a la izquierda moderada. A todos se les tachó de fascistas, tan sólo se salvaron los miembros de los partidos comunistas. Quedaba un pequeño paso para establecer regímenes totalitarios de partido único: su proclamación. A la altura de 1948 todos los países ocupados por el Ejército Rojo, con la excepción de Austria y Alemania, habían cumplido ese requisito. En apenas tres años el frentepopulismo había abierto a los soviéticos las puertas de la “revolución legal”. Habían eliminado toda oposición, incluso la de los antiguos aliados de la izquierda. A partir de ahí comenzaba un camino aún más tortuoso: el de las purgas internas. Entre 1948 y 1953 el pecado ya no era ser fascista, sino revisionista.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Así fue como, bajo el amparo del Ejército Rojo, se operó el cambio político al otro lado del “Telón de Acero”. Fueron necesarias la presencia militar de la URSS y la, hasta 1947, aquiescencia del mundo occidental. Sin embargo, la operación nunca hubiera llegado a ser tan perfecta sin el frentepopulismo y la “táctica del salchichón”. Gracias a estos dos elementos el comunismo construyó en estos países un edificio político que logró mantenerse durante cuarenta años en pleno corazón de Europa.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://historiaencomentarios.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/adolf_hitler.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-129" title="Adolf_Hitler" src="http://historiaencomentarios.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/adolf_hitler.jpg" alt="" width="295" height="320" /></a><strong> Artículo publicado por la web <a href="http://www.lorem-ipsum.es/publicaciones/articulo.php?art=58">Club Lorem Ipsum</a> el 23 de marzo de 2007.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En un artículo anterior indicaba que el nuevo orden internacional surgido tras la II Guerra Mundial era, en buena medida, obra del nacionalsocialismo. <a href="http://historiaencomentarios.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/la-postguerra-que-planeo-hitler/"><em>La postguerra que planeó Hitler</em></a> explica como en los propios postulados de dictador alemán se encontraba el germen del sistema de bloques que dio lugar a la llamada “Guerra Fría”. Él pensaba que el III Reich sería el encargado de dirigir el Imperio del Este contra el poder anglosajón. Sin embargo, como bien sabemos hoy, el conflicto acabó por dejar en bandeja a la Unión Soviética esa posición de privilegio. Hitler fracasó en su intento de llevar a los alemanes hacia la primacía mundial, pero parte de sus pronósticos fueron acertados: el mundo quedó dividido tras el conflicto que sacudió el orbe entre 1939 y 1945. Pues bien, en este nuevo artículo, en cierto modo continuación del que venimos comentado hasta ahora, trato de mostrar otro de los legados del austriaco: el proceso de integración europea. Esta afirmación, como es lógico, hay que matizarla para evitar que el lector se escandalice; a esa tarea dedicaré el resto del escrito.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La guerra provocada por el mundo nacionalsocialista fue uno de los factores indirectos que permitieron a los sueños de Coudenhove-Kalergi –autor de <em>Paneuropa</em>- hacerse realidad. En la mente de personajes como Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer o Jean Monet, estaba muy presente la idea de evitar una nueva guerra civil europea. Este miedo, lógicamente, surgía de la experiencia de dos conflagraciones en apenas treinta años. Sin estas el ansia de paz hubiera sido imposible. Pues bien, no hemos de olvidar que la segunda de estas dos guerras fue obra, deseo y voluntad de Hitler. Los “padres” de Europa querían dejar atrás para siempre las rivalidades existentes dentro del Continente, esas que tanto habían azuzado el expansionismo alemán y el “revanchismo” francés. Pretendían crear un organismo supranacional basado en la colaboración de todos sus miembros desde una posición de igualdad.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Europa se edificó sobre cimientos de ilusiones y buenos deseos, pero también sobre el miedo a los nazis. Este, no lo olvidemos, fue un factor fundamental en la construcción del edificio europeo en sus primeros años. No obstante, esta no fue la única aportación de Hitler al proyecto paneuropeo. La colaboración, especialmente de carácter económico, estaba esbozada en los planteamientos hitlerianos. El dictador austriaco tenía un proyecto de lo que debía ser, en el plano productivo y comercial, la Europa de postguerra. Y, como es lógico, la supresión de las aduanas y la planificación económica común estaban presentes en este plan. Es más, esto no fue sólo una idea en la mente de los economistas del Reich; desde 1941 los nacionalsocialistas fueron ejecutando esa unión económica. Hitler se percató de que los europeos necesitaban colaborar para crecer, de que en las pugnas de las últimas décadas las necesidades económicas jugaban un importante papel. De esta manera, los dirigentes alemanes fueron configurando esa estructura productiva y comercial en los territorios ocupados. Su éxito, todo hay que decirlo aunque este mal visto, fue notable: la maquinaria de guerra del III Reich se mantuvo más tiempo del previsto gracias a ese modelo económico.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El plan Schuman de 1950 presentaba al mundo un proyecto bastante reducido, pero ambicioso en sus aspiraciones. La CECA (Comunidad Europea del Carbón y del Acero) trataba de solucionar un problema del que Europa comenzaba a ser consciente: el futuro pasaba por la colaboración. Sin ella la paz no sería nunca un valor seguro, y las economías salidas de la guerra no podrían crecer. Tras las reuniones y discursos que configuraron la primera Comunidad Europea asomaban algunos fantasmas, uno era el de Adolf Hitler. Él provocó la II Guerra Mundial y el miedo a una nueva conflagración europea; él pensó y puso en práctica primero los planes de colaboración económica. La paradoja es que, en la década que siguió a la derrota del nacionalsocialismo, la recuperación económica tenía que fundamentarse en las bases de colaboración europea impuestas por el III Reich a la Europa ocupada. En cierto modo eso fue lo que hizo la URSS en el centro y este del continente, donde mantuvo la planificación económica de bloque al servicio de Moscú en lugar de Berlín. A esa conclusión también había llegado Jean Monet al presentar su famoso plan para Francia en 1947.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La construcción europea, aunque suene muy mal, era deudora de Hitler en aquellos primeros años. Muchos fueron los factores que condicionaron su formación; el austriaco fue uno de ellos. No obstante, la idea y puesta en práctica del proyecto hitleriano se diferencia en un aspecto fundamental de las incipientes Comunidades Europeas de los años cincuenta. Los alemanes entendían la colaboración entre Estados como una jerarquía: todos debían servir al astro rey, el Reich germano de los mil años. Por su parte, los “padres” de Europa postulaban la igualdad de todas las naciones que integrarían la comunidad. No existirían siervos ni señores; se trataría de una colaboración de todos en favor de todos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">De esta manera, las naciones occidentales del Viejo Mundo comenzaron la postguerra sometidas a dos grandes potencias. En cierto modo Hitler tenía razón cuando, consciente de su derrota, consideró que con él Europa había perdido su “última oportunidad”. Creía profundamente que sólo él y su Reich podrían salvarla de la amenaza bolchevique y anglosajona. Al fin y al cabo, el final de la II Guerra Mundial vino a confirmar el declive del Continente y su dependencia con respecto a los enemigos de Hitler. Sin embargo, los europeos ya habían tomado su decisión: preferían llevar su propio camino –por muy humillante que fuera- antes que someterse a los mandatos de un megalómano. Ahora que celebramos los cincuenta años después de los Tratados de Roma (25 de marzo de 1957) da la sensación de que la elección fue correcta.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ok, so not a cookbook. I know. But I recently found this at a thrift store and couldn&#8217;t pass it up.</p>
<p>This is a &#8220;booklet&#8221; offered by The International Harvester Company teaching you how to freeze food - a novel concept in 1947 for sure. Not bad advice, just outdated now somewhat. No vacuum sealing for instance. Or thawing in the microwave.</p>
<p>What really impressed me about the book though was the amount of color on every page. Just loaded with color everywhere! I mean look at the front and back covers:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/karmatir/Bento/cookbooks/?action=view&#38;current=freezer1.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:0 none;" src="http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/karmatir/Bento/cookbooks/freezer1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="450" height="343" /></a></p>
<p>This book is 6 inches wide by 9 inches long and 62 pages long.<br />
<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/karmatir/Bento/cookbooks/?action=view&#38;current=freezer2.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:0 none;" src="http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/karmatir/Bento/cookbooks/freezer2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="450" height="345" /></a></p>
<p>I wanted to show this page just because of the kitchen. Its hard to see without actually looking at the book but those are linoleum counters, of course. I love the steel cabinets.</p>
<p>This page highlights the EXACT scientific nature of what is present in the book and that is all indeed safe. Lots of reassurances around.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/karmatir/Bento/cookbooks/?action=view&#38;current=freezer3.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:0 none;" src="http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/karmatir/Bento/cookbooks/freezer3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="450" height="342" /></a></p>
<p>I thought the packing materials (and the use of an iron to seal a bag) was interesting here. Cartons and plastic bags&#8230;hello freezer burn! Interesting enough I didn&#8217;t see one mention of freezer burn in the entire booklet. Not one mention.</p>

<p>Good advice for freezing a few veggies and a bizarre fruit salad picture.</p>

<p>Good advice that still stands&#8230;except there is advice for slaughtering your own animals. Love the &#8220;aging&#8221; advice. Why do you think Omaha Steaks are so good?</p>

<p>Some generally good advice on freezing game and dairy products. Only one line intrigued me. Second paragraph at the top: <em>the freezing and storage of game meat is restricted in many states and you should familiarize yourself with these state laws in the locality where you live and hunt.</em> I wonder if that is still the case? I am not familiar with that information at all, in history or in life so I have no idea. But it intrigued me completely. I&#8217;ve only lived in states where they basically encourage you to hunt down the local wildlife so I have no concept of not storing something that we just killed. I think its time for me to do some research just for the heck of it.</p>

<p>More wonderful, and time tested, advice on freezing dough, cake and cookies. My only amendment would be that you CAN keep unbaked dough frozen for longer than a week, unlike what the book says. But like a lot of things, it does taste better the less time it is frozen.</p>
