Max Coutinho Av. Da República nº 9, 14º andar 1600-205 Lisboa Portugal Tel: 351 98 293 06 09 26th of October, 2008 Dear United States of America, It is with great joy that I pen down this missive to you, which I hope it finds you enjoying of good wealth health (please, do pardon my temporarily lack of sensibility; I am quite aware of the economic & financial constraints you are experiencing right now… and if there is something that I can do for you, and yours, please do not hesitate to request for our aid – times are harsh on everybody, but what are friends for?). I have been receiving news about the upcoming Presidential elections there: you must be tremendously excited about it! I also learned that for the very first time you are having a black candidate …oops; pardon my European nature once again; I meant Afro-American candidate (although I do not understand why you insist on designating Black people nés [1] in your country as Afro…darling, they are not African, they don’t e...

Chained

Imagine a brain, a heart and a soul all chained up...that is a woman. When a woman is born, the brainwash operation is launched: girls wear pink; girls play with dolls; girls play with kitchen sets; girls play with girls; girls must be nice and kind; girls smile all the time; young ladies must be careful with kissing boys; young ladies must remain pure; they must be virgins in order to find a good husband (as if virginity represented a safe collateral); women must have kids; women must have a husband; women must, must, must… Women have come a long way. They have battled through injustice, humiliation, disrespect and have conquered many rights, yet they remain under balls and chain. Yes, it sounds rather shocking…preposterous even; but if you look around closely you’ll realize how true it is. The female gender complains about sexism…who perpetuates it? Women do. How? By actively participating in the brainwash operation. Why do they do it? Because since they’ve been brainwashed, the...

Analysis: The Catastrophe

The Fanatics of Tangiers by Delacroix Last Sunday, the Palestinians staged a well prepared plot: to celebrate what they consider “ Yawm al-nakbah ” (Day of the Catastrophe), they decided to swarm into Israel, in a concerted action, to prove they are united, ready to invade and reclaim the State of Israel at their will. Hamas and Fatah have recently signed a reconciliatory agreement in order to achieve UN recognition for independent state in September 2011 and to avoid tensions similar to those occurring in Syria, Yemen and Bahrain for instance. Will it work? Palestinians should protest against Fatah and Hamas for not being able to serve the people instead of themselves; for not being able to stop violence and recognise the Jewish State of Israel; for not being able to ensure that Gaza borders would be considered safe enough so that the blockade would be lifted and finally commence the development of their Palestinian State. Palestinians should protest against its corrupt ...

About Satan...

Satan , שָׂטָן, in Hebrew means: the Accuser, the Adversary. In Judaism it is thought that the Accuser is a member of the Divine Council that looks after Humanity by following its activities closely with the sole purpose of searching for men’s sins, flaws, the rot within their souls and accuse them. This is the explanation behind his nickname “Divine Prosecutor” (the one that analyses human iniquities). The evidence of his being a member of God’s High Court rests in the book of Job, when the sons of God along with the Accuser came to present themselves before the Lord, Who told Satan to behold His loyal servant, Job. The Accuser suggested God that He would allow him to take Job’s wealth away from him, to see if he would continue to be as loyal as he appeared to be. Of course Job passed the severe tests and in the end he was reward a hundredfold. The most interesting part about the Jewish viewpoint is that it depicts a powerless Satan; it shows how little autonomy he has (since to test ...

2008 a time to...

Somewhere in Africa... Baba Mvula is sat on his chair gazing at the sunset. Florence, his granddaughter, sits beside him “Baba, tomorrow is the last day of the year….according to the calendar of the wazungu . What do you see for the next year?” Baba Mvula closes his big dark eyes, takes a deep breath and says, “Our land begins to open its eyes. Our people awake from their deep sleep, and decide that the present situation is no longer acceptable. Our land is shedding tears of blood; the wind carries the cry of our people throughout the world.” Florence starts having goose-skin; Baba Mvula continues “we need to go back to our roots: we need strong tribes, we need our chiefs and kings back; we need our healers back (not these false ones, whose sole interest is making money, not helping people); we need tribal counsellors; warriors…” the old man takes another deep breath and proceeds “our roots combined with what the wazungu taught us can, and will, change our land. What I see now is not ...
