From Brasília, the capital of Brazil.
This is the last article of this year. From December 12th to January, 12th of 2021, I will take a sabbatical, that is, I will reoxygenate myself in other “beaches”. I will continue to be so happy doing everything or nothing because my life has continued and continues the motto of having fun working and working having fun.
The historical approaches to politics, philosophy, education and teaching that I have been carrying out throughout the more than 840 days that I have written for this “web” newspaper, have the purpose (at least in my wishes as a teacher and writer) to draw the attention of the unsuspecting and those who want to reflect about our past, so that with that knowledge we can make our present a launching pad for our sustainable plans and implementations for a better and longer-term future.
I have no doubt that we are capable. The question is to discover who is truly aware that winning requires stubbornness, unwavering courage to pay the price for success.
Each one doing his part without contributing to destroy the success of the others, with smiles that hide disguised envy and spite. Without waiting all the time for the biblical apocalypse to destroy humanity. Preaching, educating and teaching new generations love, prosperity and respect for differences, with these destructive efforts behind them, reinforces hypocrisy and keeps us on the trail of those who talk a lot and do little. What fruits have we reaped in this way of proceeding? If the fruits are not good, why insist on this plantation? Why expect to reap different things by always planting the same seed?
Unfortunately, the manufactured and perpetuated ignorance of our populations allows very few to be able to detect the importance of allowing themselves to be educated and taught, and to exercise the right of resistance, when politicians stealthily deny us the education and teaching that the State owes us, having in mind that we are the only ones who finance it with our taxes, fees, improvement contributions, public prices, patrimonial income, etc. You must understand that the State owes infinitely more to the people, that the people owe the State!
Following this reasoning, it should be remembered that the world always experiences widespread scaremongering every time humanity is subjected to global trials, as, for example, in the cases of the First and Second World Wars.
For a long time, the arguments of the Cold War period (1947 to 1991) between the United States and the USSR, which culminated in the fall of the Berlin Wall, were that the arms race, and the creation of biological destruction super viruses in the laboratories, would be the perfect threats for the Soviet bloc to turn us all into communists and into beneficiaries of another of the dreamed earthly paradises.
The rest is history! After the Iron Curtain fell, what the world saw was misery, poverty and the spirit of each nation broken and scared for the future, as it actually continues today in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Transcaucasia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
Communism spread throughout the world and in Africa, it catechized countries such as Angola, Mozambique, Libya and Ethiopia. In Central America, he catechized Cuba (where I was on a research trip). Cuba, which was the spearhead of the USSR, exerted and still exerts influence over all communist movements in Central America (see Nicaragua, for example). In South America, Cuba catechized Venezuela (where I was on a research trip), and till today has ideological and political influence in parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Paraguay.
Cuba, also, exerted enormous influence over Brazil throughout the left-wing government, with numerous financial and ideological favors such as ports and other infrastructure investments that Brazil made there, in addition to the famous and corrupt “MORE DOCTOR” political program that, according to reports my wife, and I, with two other friends we heard directly from a doctor who fled the Cuban dictatorship, and was a newcomer to Miami. It worked like this: Brazil paid 30% (thirty percent) of the salary agreed to with each doctor, while the other 70% (seventy percent) were referred to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba.
Communism in Asia was led by Mao Zedong, who led the Chinese communist revolution from 1947 to 1950 and imposed his rule and ideology until his death in 1976.
With the fall of the Berlin Wall, China realized that evolution and time have condemned communist ideology, and with much-spied technology from developed countries, it has flooded the world with other categories of powerful weapons. Here are some examples of the new domination strategies that are working with total effectiveness and efficiency:
1 — The sale of trinkets and poor quality products at negligible prices, knowing that you benefit more because there are more miserable and economically poor people in China(1.3 billion people), in India (1.2 billion people), and in the rest of the other 5 billion people that make up the population of the rest of the world.
Make no mistake, spreading the MADE IN CHINA brand through so many products of poor quality, to the argument that they are extremely cheap and accessible to all economic classes constitutes an extremely powerful propaganda weapon, as much as the propaganda machine created by Hitler and his staff. What changes are the new nomenclatures, but the idea of domination and exportation of nationalist ideology remains the same.
2 — China exported the idea which is already repeated by other overpopulated countries such as India. This also polluted the mentality of countries whose motto was to produce the best to sell at the lowest price, so the global industrial and technology park with rare exceptions is leveled below. The motto is to produce with the lowest quality and sell at the highest possible price, as has always been and continues to be the case here in Brazil, where ads are liars, “Black Friday” is a fallacy and people forget that elegant and stylish is paying less for higher quality products.
3 — China is still communist internally, but it has been totally open to all capitalist principles to maintain a super-dictatorship against its citizens while selling the image of liberals to the rest of the world. It deceives both sides and increasingly enriches their parks: military, industrial, artificial intelligence, and secret political information.
And capitalism? It continues to evolve towards evil, focused on producing super-rich, with its startups and Unicorns(those born worth more than a billion dollars), all within the so-called Fourth Industrial and Technological Revolution, which continues to exist to confirm the wealth of those who were already rich and the poverty of those who are getting poorer, and at the service of the public and private sector for which the welfare system is given in drops as if they were doses of vaccines that neither can be distributed simultaneously to the entire population because the private companies that manufacture them have the support of world governments to profit greatly from each drop they manufacture. It is the promiscuity of politics, added to the religious promiscuity, promoting the promiscuity of science.
We have the strategies of political domination, added to the strategies of religious domination, all wanting to catechize faithful to their creed. The science that can help humanity so many remains in limbo, waiting for the goodwill of politicians and religious people and, ultimately, the lack of investments necessary to produce physical, social, and economic well-being. After all, easily found research on Google already knows that for every dollar invested in research, there is another $12 in reward with the scientific and technological return.
It can be interesting as a global strategy to let part of the population of our overpopulated world die and disguise with the creation of dozens of NGOs that continue to ask for donations to save lives and people for whom the Democratic States of Law does not allow them to be educated and we taught how to do birth control because such control does not serve for political campaigns or to comply with the divine mandate to “grow and multiply”, although such a method generates hordes of economic wretches, in need of donations whose deviations cause scandals that suffocate in everyone, so as not to drive away from the poor, who continue to be the most compassionate and who donate the most of their time and money.
In this scenario, radicals from all sides every time they hear a thunder sound louder on the horizon they see the “Trick, track, boom” of the opportunity that their God or gods have to destroy the world, already so destroyed and broken due to the economic, social and ethical crises that plague the mass of human beings and of “humanity” that in us is moving faster and faster in the direction of thingify humans and humanize things. In the midst of this dystopia I bring pieces of utopia that make me think that if we really want to, each one of us can contribute to change our environment for the better.
And to finish, and since I love December parties, I wish you happy Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties. If for some reason you have to spend these days alone, remember that your own company can be the best of all because it is better alone than surrounded by those who can cause you physical or psychological harm!
May you, in 2021, create the courage to persist and realize some of your dreams! You can!
A fraternal hug and my gratitude for the kindness you showed me by accompanying me this 2020, a year that has been a roller coaster of sensations for this World sicked by the pandemic.
Let us all continue with the hope that Science will bring us cheap, safe, and effective vaccines for that and other crises to come, so that we can take hopeful steps in the new reality and, above all, I ask for we do not forget the lessons of this period, that demand more humility of all. We are fragile as a species and not seeing this can be arrogant and destructive.
Thanks a lot! Do not leave me. I need you! In 2021, I will return with two new series of articles:
First series: SCABROUS CASES OF THE “WAR” BETWEEN STUDENTS AND PARENTS OF STUDENTS AGAINST TEACHERS AND OTHER TEACHING PROFESSIONALS. WHO WINS AND WHO LOSES?
Second series: TIME, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND AUTOMATION, THREE SERIAL KILLERS OF PROFESSIONS AND ACTIVITIES. BE EQUIPPED OR PERISH!
REMEMBER: Give books as gifts for Christmas and for any day of the year. By reading you are educating yourself, and the world around you to think, and express better.
The reflections in this article can continue to expand a lot, with the reading of my new book, “From apocalyptic alarmism to social and economic resurrection (utopian world, dystopian world) available in Spanish and Portuguese:
