Meine Highlights in Südamerika
Lateinamerika hat für mich seit langer Zeit eine ganz besondere Bedeutung. Die ersten Reisen, die ich in jungen Jahren allein unternahm, führten mich in verschiedene Länder des süd- und mittelamerikanischen Kontinents. Auch später besuchte ich vor allem in Südamerika mehrere Länder.

” As verdades e as quimeras.
Outras leis, outras pessoas.
Novo Mundo que começa.
Nova raça. Outro destino.
Planos de melhores eras.
E os inimigos atentos,
que , de olhos sinistros, valem.
E os aleives. E as denúncias.
E as ideias.

Jamaica’s private sector calls for transparency, adherence to rules in Bengal mining plans at Puerto Bueno
Today, the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) expressed concern in a press release today about what seems to be a volte face by the Prime Minister on the matter of mining permits for the Bengal area of St. Ann (Puerto Bueno or Dry Harbour Mountain), which for a while appeared to have been abandoned after the company in question had once again failed to meet the requirements of the performance bond. However, the company is now going ahead – even though they had already failed to meet the terms imposed by the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) not once, but twice. Well, third time lucky, it seems.
A reminder that the Holness administration recently demoted Environment and Climate Change (there is now NO ministryunder that banner) to “Economic Growth and Job Creation,” under the purview of his own office, like NEPA. There is no Environment/Climate Change Minister.

Voting Rights — Going … Going … ???
Most states are passing laws that restrict voting rights, especially those of Blacks, Hispanics, the poor, the elderly and the young, and some of those laws are positively draconian! For example, our friend Suze reports that …
“My own state has a bill under discussion that would make it a felony to provide transport to a voting site to anyone “not within their immediate family.”
So, if your neighbor’s car is in the shop being repaired, and the nearest polling place is ten miles away, you are forbidden to take them to vote??? I think not! If such a law were passed here, I would double down on my determination to drive my friends and neighbors to the polling station and dare anybody to cross me! Toss me in jail if you will … I won’t back down! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr …
Just this morning, Suze informed me that the bill failed…

Texas Man Charged With Threatening to Kill Georgia Election Officials – The New York Times
The Justice Department on Friday charged a Texas man with publicly calling for the assassination of Georgia’s election officials on the day before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
The case is the first brought by the department’s Election Threats Task Force, an agency created last summer to address threats against elections and election workers. Federal prosecutors accused the man, Chad Christopher Stark, 54, of Leander, Texas, of calling for “Georgia Patriots” to “put a bullet” in a Georgia election official the indictment refers to as Official A.
Mr. Stark, according to the three-page indictment, made the threat in a post on Craigslist, the online message board, while then-President Donald J. Trump and his allies were putting public pressure on Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state who certified Mr. Trump’s defeat in Georgia to Joseph R. Biden Jr.
“Georgia Patriots it’s time for us to take back our state from these Lawless treasonous traitors,” Mr. Stark wrote, according to the indictment. “It’s time to invoke our Second Amendment right it’s time to put a bullet in the treasonous Chinese [Official A]. Then we work our way down to [Official B] the local and federal corrupt judges.”
Mr. Stark was charged with one count of communicating interstate threats.
Kada adrenalin postane droga – When adrenaline becomes a drug
Naš adrenalin trebalo bi kategorizovati u drogu prvog reda – toliku zavisnost izaziva. I kao sa svakom drogom, u određenom trenutku otupimo na adrenalin. Zaboravljamo kako je osjećati se normalno, bezbjedno, srećno i dobro, dok se sve više navlačimo na adrenalin. To ne znači da on ne može da bude dobar i bezbjedan na odgovarajućim nivoima. Ipak je on potpuno prirodan dio naših tijela i presudan za opstanak naše vrste. U prošlosti smo zaista mogli da funkcionišemo na niskim, zdravim nivoima adrenalina, s povremenim skokovima kada smo u opasnosti. Poredite to sa šetnjom kroz cvijetnu livadu kada je divan, sunčan dan. Nebo je plavo, sunce sija i ptice pjevaju, potpuno ste mirni – sve dok ne primjetite zvečarku na putu. Nivo adrenalina momentalno vam skače dok smišljate kako da prođete pored zvečarke neozlijeđeni, i kada prođete, adrenalin vam se vraća u normalu. To je ekvivalent predigitalnog života i za to…

Where do we Stand — normabobb
Are we on the side of avarice and greed or do we advocate for peace and the equitable distribution of the world’s resources? Do we value Mother Earth, the life of all the inhabitants of this world including sentient beings? Do we delude ourselves into believing that the only thing that matters is the survival […]
