Jamaica Update, June 28, 2021: Anxious doctors, relaxed protocols, and the Saudis visit
It has been raining, thankfully. It has been damp and humid and thundery, and the garden is flourishing. Plus, the Euro football competition has been more than usually compelling. Apart from that, it’s been pretty much business as usual on this island – although I do sense a certain amount of tension and anxiety as July 1 approaches – when our curfew hours will be relaxed, besides rules for gatherings. The entertainment sector is quite happy, but to be honest the timing seems off. We shall see. A planned concert organized by the Government for International Reggae Day (July 1) at Port Royal has been called off, (cancelled or postponed?) due to the weather forecast (we do have tropical waves and a system approaching) and there will be a film showinstead – or was it because the response to the idea has been less than positive?

Majdan Imam u Isfahanu, Iran – Meidan Emam in Isfahan, Iran
Esfahan nesf-é jahan, što znači “Isfahan je centar svijeta”, bila je rečenica na usnama svakoga ko je u sedamnaestom vijeku posjetio ovaj grad; ljudi su bili zadivljeni njegovim veličanstvenim građevinama i razmjerama trgovine koja se tu odvijala. Ipak, ovaj čudesni grad stvoren je u roku od samo 30 godina zahvaljujući jednom ambicioznom vladaru koji je umio da iskoristi usluge dvojice najamnika. Tokom cijelog šesnaestog vijeka dinastija Safaved, koja je 150 godina vladala Persijom, posmatrala je kako se njena teritorija sve više smanjuje i prelazi u ruke Osmanlija. To je trajalo sve dok ser Entoni Šerli i njegov brat Robert nisu zakucali na vrata šaha Abasa I. Dvojica engleskih avanturista prethodno su se ponudila evropskim dvorovima da preuzmu diplomatsku inicijativu – za uzvrat su tražili novčanu naknadu i titule – kojom bi Safavedima obezbjedili podršku protiv Turaka. Pored toga, predložili su da upute Persijance u “magičnu” moć novog pronalaska, baruta…

ASCOLTA IL MESSAGGIO DELLO SCIAMANO YANOMAMI – L’APPELLO DELLA FORESTA!

“Yanomami osservando un sito minerario d’oro nel loro territorio” – Foto degli Yanomami, Alto Orinoco, Amazonas, Venezuela e fotomontaggio: Barbara Crane Navarro
«Ehi, guardaci!
Ti vediamo
Cerchiamo di mostrartelo
Non ti sei mai preso la briga di imparare la nostra lingua
Guardavi sempre in basso
Ti avvertiamo dall’inizio
La terra è viva
Questa terra non può essere posseduta
Questa terra siamo noi
Tutti noi
Volevi le pietre
Oro
Le tue cose splendenti
Titoli – Bandiere – Profitti
L’hai chiamato progresso
Cerchiamo di insegnarti
Ma sei sempre stato così avido
Troppo primitivo – troppo selvaggio
capire
Adesso porti ancora maledizioni sugli Yanomami
Malattie
E di nuovo moriremo
E tutte le terre native si trasformano in
cenere e fango
Cinque secoli
Non hai mai alzato gli occhi per scoprirlo
quello che teniamo al suo posto
Il paradiso stesso
Le tue città possono vederlo
Le tue culture possono vederlo
I tuoi figli possono…

Dispossessed, Again: Climate Change Hits Native Americans Especially Hard – The New York Times
The Pacific Northwest, coastal erosion and storms are eating away at tribal land, forcing native communities to try to move inland. In the Southwest, severe drought means Navajo Nation is running out of drinking water. At the edge of the Ozarks, heirloom crops are becoming harder to grow, threatening to disconnect the Cherokee from their heritage.
Do NOT Talk About Race!
There is a racial divide in this country……we can pretend that it does not exist (not in this country) but sadly there is and I have written about it several times……
In case the posts were missed I will help with this issue…..
The absurdity of the Republican Party’s culture wars has reached new heights. A slew of GOP-led state legislatures are enacting new laws that ban teaching “critical race theory” an academic framework that has become the latest conservative boogeyman.
Do you want to learn about racism, discrimination and privilege? Well, Republicans are trying to make it really hard to do so with a slew of bills designed to muzzle educators. In Texas, House Bill 3979…
