The President of France expose him proposal for a «Pacte de Responsabilitè» (January 14, 2014):

«(...) c'est sur l'offre qu'il faut agir. (...) Sans entreprises, pas de créations d'emplois. (...) Je fixe un nouvell objectiv, c´est que d´ici 2017, pour les entreprises et pour les travailleurs indépendants, ce soit la fin des cotisations familiales. Cela représente 30 milliards d´euros de charges (...) moins de charges sur le travail, moins de contraintes sur leurs activités et, en même temps, une contrepartie, plus d'embauches et plus de dialogue social.»

«Je constituerai autour de moi un conseil stratégique de la dépense. Il se réunira chaque mois pour évaluer les politiques publiques (...) loi de programmation de nos finances publiques et sociales sur la période 2015-2017 (...) votée à l'automne.»
The President propose a decrease  of public expenses (weight of 57% of GDP!) as a way to control public deficit, not by taxes:
- 15.000 M€ - 2014 
- 50.000 M€ - 2015/2017

http://www.lesechos.fr/medias/2014/01/03/640486_0203218966204_web_tete.jpg
«L'Insee estime que le crédit d'impôt compétitivité emploi permettra de créer 30.000 emplois au 1er semestre 2014.» http://www.lesechos.fr/economie-politique/politique/actu/0203217977134-pacte-de-responsabilite-les-scenarios-pour-faire-baisser-les-charges-sociales-des-entreprises-640486.php

So France slowly, try to change the hard weight of it State, but we don´t see at the moment a deep reform of the State as the root of the intentions about public expenses and riks like in Portugal to a biase related to the sense of the decrease: support direct and indirectly the creation oof Value by France, by Portugal or by other European country with the diferent but also with the same problems: Europe need a State that support all of actual good ways that generate Value and not all of the actual bad ways that don´t generate Value! For example a very good Public offer of health cares and education services with efficience and efficacity create Value. The purchase of submarines or cars for the European net of polital societies wth primary keynesian arguments, don´t create Value! Blinded cuts of public expenses in Health, Education, Training, Research and Culture, for example, with primary liberal arguments, don´t prejudice the creation of Value by the Nations!
In United States of America we have the example of the blind «Tea Party» but also the blind Paul Krugman in the other side. We need a much more complex and in the same time simple approach about Public Action!

PORTUGUESA(E)S - LUSITANI - PORTUGUESE


Montgomery County Council President Nancy Navarro, Cidalia Luis-Akbar and Natalia Luis, owners of M. Luis Construction Co., Inc. with Portuguese roots

In him visit to M. Luis Construction the President of United States of America said in 3-10-2013 (http://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/2013/10/03/president-obama-speaks-economic-impact-government-shutdown#transcript):

«Remarks by the President on the Government Shutdown

M. Luis Construction Company, Rockville, Maryland
10:49 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT:  Hello, everybody!  (Applause.)  Good to see all of you.  Please, please have a seat.  Well, hello, Rockville! 
Let me start by recognizing three public servants who fight hard every day for Maryland families and businesses.  First of all, Congressman Chris Van Hollen is here.  (Applause.)  Yay, Chris!  Congressman John Delaney is here.  (Applause.)  And we have the acting head of the Small Business Administration -- Jeanne Hulit is here.  (Applause.)
And I also want to give a big thanks to your bosses, Cidalia and Natalia, for being such gracious hosts.  I had a chance to meet them at the White House.  (Applause.)  Thank you.  Now I know where they got their good looks from, because I had a chance to meet mom and dad, and their beautiful families.  So I’m so glad to be here.  And I had a chance to learn a little bit about their story.  So when their parents brought them from Portugal to America almost 40 years ago, no one in the family spoke a word of English.  But that didn’t stop their father, Manuel, and their mother, Albertina, from having a big dream -- believing that if they worked hard, they could get ahead, and that even though they’d never had any schooling, maybe their daughters could go to college; maybe in America you could make it if you tried.  That’s what they believed. 
So they started their own construction company with a pickup truck and a wheelbarrow.  And when Cidalia and Natalia turned 14, they began to help -- cleaning tools, translating documents.  And they became the first in their family to go to college.  After graduation, they started their own business, and later they bought the family business from their parents.  So today, M. Luis Construction is a $60 million company with about 250 employees.  (Applause.)  And I understand you’re opening your fourth office at the end of this month.  So this story is what America is all about.  You start off -- maybe you don’t have a lot -- but you’re willing to work hard, you put in the time, opportunities out there, and you’re able to pass on an even better life to your family, your children, your grandchildren.
And it’s good news that after how hard the construction industry got hit during the recession, things are starting to get a little better.  Remember, it was just five years ago that our economy was in free fall.  Businesses were shedding hundreds of thousands of jobs every single month, and the recession ultimately cost millions of Americans their jobs, their homes, their savings -- everything they had worked hard to build. 
Today, over the last three and a half years, our businesses have added 7.5 million new jobs.  (Applause.)  Our deficits are falling.  Our housing market is healing, which means construction is improving; manufacturing is growing; the auto industry is back.  America is on pace to become the number one energy producer in the world this year.  (Applause.)  More small businesses have gotten loans so they can grow and they can hire -- just like M. Luis did with the help of the Small Business Jobs Act that I signed three years ago.  So that’s part of what allowed this company to grow.  (Applause.) 
So we still have a long way to go.  We've still got a lot of work to do, especially to rebuild the middle class.  But we're making steady progress.  And the reason I'm here is, we can't afford to threaten that progress right now.  Right now, hundreds of thousands of Americans, hardworking Americans, suddenly aren’t receiving their paycheck.  Right now, they're worrying about missing the rent, or their mortgage, or even making ends meet.  We can all relate to that.  Imagine if suddenly you weren't sure whether you were going to get your next paycheck, with all the bills that might be mounting up.  Well, that’s what's happening right now to hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country. 
Companies like this one worried that their businesses are going to be disrupted, because obviously, particularly in an area like Maryland, Virginia, where there are a lot of federal workers, you don’t know how that’s going to impact the economy.  Veterans, seniors, women -- they're all worrying that the services they depend on will be disrupted too. 
And the worst part is, this time it’s not because of a once-in-a-lifetime recession.  This isn't happening because of some financial crisis.  It's happening because of a reckless Republican shutdown in Washington.
AUDIENCE MEMBER:  That’s right!  (Applause.) 
THE PRESIDENT:  Now, we’ve all seen the offices locked down, the monuments closed.  We’ve heard about services denied, we've heard about benefits that are delayed.  But the impacts of a shutdown go way beyond those things that you're seeing on television.  Those hundreds of thousands of Americans -- a lot of whom live around here -- don’t know when they're going to get their next paycheck, and that means stores and restaurants around here don’t know if they'll have as many customers. 
Across the country you've got farmers in rural areas and small business owners who deserve a loan, but they're being left in the lurch right now.  They might have an application pending as we speak, but there's nobody in the office to process the loan.  The SBA gives a billion dollars of loans a month to small businesses -- a billion dollars a month goes to small businesses all across the country.  Right now those can't be processed because there's nobody there to process them. 
Veterans who deserve our support are getting less help.  Little kids who deserve a Head Start have been sent home from the safe places where they learn and grow every single day.  And of course, their families then have to scramble to figure out what to do.  And the longer this goes on, the worse it will be.  And it makes no sense. 
The American people elected their representatives to make their lives easier, not harder.  And there is one way out of this reckless and damaging Republican shutdown:  Congress has to pass a budget that funds our government with no partisan strings attached.  (Applause.) 
Now, I want everybody to understand what's happened, because sometimes when this gets reported on everybody kind of thinks, well, you know, both sides are just squabbling; Democrats and Republicans, they're always arguing, so neither side is behaving properly.  I want everybody to understand what's happened here.  The Republicans passed a temporary budget for two months at a funding level that we, as Democrats, actually think is way too low because we’re not providing help for more small businesses, doing more for early childhood education, doing more to rebuild our infrastructure.  But we said, okay, while we’re still trying to figure out this budget, we’re prepared to go ahead and take the Republican budget levels that they proposed.
So the Senate passed that with no strings attached -- not because it had everything the Democrats wanted.  In fact, it had very little that the Democrats wanted.  But we said, let’s go ahead and just make sure that other people aren’t hurt while negotiations are still taking place.
So that’s already passed the Senate.  And we know there are enough Republicans and Democrats to vote in the House of Representatives for the same thing.  So I want everybody to understand this:  There are enough Republicans and Democrats in the House of Representatives today that, if the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, simply let the bill get on the floor for an up-or-down vote, every congressman could vote their conscience  -- the shutdown would end today.
The only thing that is keeping the government shut down; the only thing preventing people from going back to work and basic research starting back up, and farmers and small business owners getting their loan -- the only thing that’s preventing all that from happening, right now, today, in the next five minutes, is that Speaker John Boehner won’t even let the bill get a yes-or-no vote, because he doesn’t want to anger the extremists in his party.  That’s all.  That’s what this whole thing is about. 
We’ve heard a lot from congressional Republicans in the past couple of days saying they don’t want this shutdown.  Well, there’s a simple way to prove it.  Send the bill to the floor, let everybody vote -- it will pass.  Send me the bill; I will sign it.  The shutdown will be over and we can get back to the business of governing and helping the American people.  (Applause.) 
It could happen in the next half hour.  National parks, monuments, offices would all reopen immediately.  Benefits and services would resume again.  Hundreds of thousands of dedicated public servants who are worrying about whether they’re going to be able to pay the mortgage or pay the car note, they’d start going back to work right away.  So my simple message today is:  Call a vote.  Call a vote. 
AUDIENCE:  Call a vote!  (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT:  Put it on the floor and let every individual member of Congress make up their own minds.  And they can show the American people, are you for a shutdown or not?  If you’re not for a shutdown, you’ll vote for the bill; if you’re for a shutdown, you won’t vote for a bill.  We don’t have to twist anybody’s arms.  But that way, the American people will be clear about who is responsible for the shutdown.  Or, alternatively, more hopefully, they’d be clear that this is something that doesn’t make sense and we should go ahead and make sure that we’re looking out for the American people.  It should be that simple.
But as I said, the problem we’ve got is that there’s one faction of one party, in one half of one branch of government that so far has refused to allow that yes-or-no vote unless they get some massive partisan concessions in exchange for doing what they’re supposed to be doing anyway, in exchange for doing what everybody else agrees is necessary.  And they won’t agree to end the shutdown until they get their way.  And you may think I’m exaggerating, but just the other day, one tea party Republican called the idea of a shutdown “wonderful.”  Another said that a shutdown is “exactly what we wanted.”  Well, they got exactly what they wanted.  Now they’re trying to figure out how to get out of it. 
Just yesterday, one House Republican said -- I'm quoting here, because I want to make sure people understand I didn't make this up.  One House Republican said, “We’re not going to be disrespected.  We have to get something out of this.  And I don’t know what that even is.”  That was a quote.  "We're not going to be disrespected.  We have got to get something out of this.  And I don't know what that even is."  Think about that.  
You have already gotten the opportunity to serve the American people.  There is no higher honor than that.  (Applause.)  You've already gotten the opportunity to help businesses like this one, workers like these.  So the American people aren't in the mood to give you a goodie bag to go with it.  What you get is our intelligence professionals being back on the job.  What you get is our medical researchers back on the job.  (Applause.)  What you get are little kids back into Head Start.  (Applause.)  What you get are our national parks and monuments open again.  What you get is the economy not stalling, but continuing to grow.  (Applause.)  What you get are workers continuing to be hired.  That's what you get.  That's what you should be asking for.  Take a vote, stop this farce, and end this shutdown right now.  (Applause.)
If you're being disrespected, it's because of that attitude you got that you deserve to get something for doing your job.  Everybody here just does their job, right?  If you're working here and in the middle of the day you just stopped and said, you know what, I want to get something, but I don't know exactly what I'm going to get.  (Laughter.)  But I'm just going to stop working until I get something.  I'm going to shut down the whole plant until I get something. 
AUDIENCE MEMBER:  You'd get fired. 
THE PRESIDENT:  You'd get fired.  (Applause.)  Right?  Because the deal is you've already gotten hired.  You've got a job.  You're getting a paycheck.  And so you also are getting the pride of doing a good job and contributing to a business and looking out for your fellow workers.  That's what you're getting.  Well, it shouldn't be any different for a member of Congress.     
Now, unlike past shutdowns -- I want to make sure everybody understands this because, again, sometimes the tendency is to say, well, both sides are at fault.  This one has nothing to do with deficits or spending or budgets.  Our deficits are falling at the fastest pace in 60 years.  We’ve cut the deficits in half since I took office.  (Applause.)  And some of the things that the Republicans are asking for right now would actually add to our deficits, seriously.
So this is not about spending.  And this isn't about fiscal responsibility.  This whole thing is about one thing:  the Republican obsession with dismantling the Affordable Care Act and denying affordable health insurance to millions of Americans.  (Applause.)  That's all this has become about.  That seems to be the only thing that unites the Republican Party these days. 
Through this whole fight, they’ve said the American people don’t want Obamacare, so we should shut down the government to repeal it or delay it.  But here's the problem:  The government is now shut down, but the Affordable Care Act is still open for business.  (Applause.)  So they're not even accomplishing what they say they want to accomplish.  And, by the way, in the first two days since the new marketplaces -- basically big group plans that we've set up -- the first two days that they opened, websites where you can compare and purchase new affordable insurance plans and maybe get tax credits to reduce your costs, millions of Americans have made it clear they do want health insurance.  (Applause.) 
More than 6 million people visited the website HealthCare.gov the day it opened.  Nearly 200,000 people picked up the phone and called the call center.  In Kentucky alone -- this is a state where -- I didn’t win Kentucky.  (Laughter.)  So I know they weren't doing it for me.  In Kentucky, nearly 11,000 people applied for new insurance plans in the first two days -- just in one state, Kentucky.  And many Americans are finding out when they go on the website that they'll save a lot of money or get health insurance for the first time. 
So I would think that if, in fact, this was going to be such a disaster that the Republicans say it's going to be, that it was going to be so unpopular, they wouldn’t have to shut down the government.  They could wait, nobody would show any interest, there would be, like, two people on the website -- (laughter) -- and everybody would then vote for candidates who want to repeal it. 
It's not as if Republicans haven't had a chance to debate the health care law.  It passed the House of Representatives.  It passed the Senate.  The Supreme Court ruled it constitutional -- you remember all this.  Last November, voters rejected the presidential candidate that ran on a platform to repeal it.  (Applause.)  So the Affordable Care Act has gone through every single democratic process, all three branches of government.  It's the law of the land.  It's here to stay. 
I've said to Republicans, if there are specific things you think can improve the law to make it even better for people as opposed to just gutting it and leaving 25 million people without health insurance, I'm happy to talk to you about that.  But a Republican shutdown won't change the fact that millions of people need health insurance, and that the Affordable Care Act is being implemented.  The shutdown does not change that.  All the shutdown is doing is making it harder for ordinary Americans to get by, and harder for businesses to create jobs at a time when our economy is just starting to gain traction again. 
You've heard Republicans say that Obamacare will hurt the economy, but the economy has been growing and creating jobs.  The single-greatest threat to our economy and to our businesses like this one is not the Affordable Care Act, it's the unwillingness of Republicans in Congress to stop refighting a settled election, or making the demands that have nothing to do with the budget.  They need to move on to the actual business of governing.  That’s what will help the economy.  That's what will grow the economy.  That’s what will put people back to work.  (Applause.) 
And more than that, House Republicans need to stop careening from one crisis to another in everything they do.  Have you noticed that?  Since they've taken over the House of Representatives, we have one of these crises every three months.  Have you noticed?  And you keep on thinking, all right, well, this is going to be the last one; they're not going to do this again.  And then they do it again.
I know you're tired of it.  I’m tired of it.  It doesn’t mean that they're wrong on every single issue.  I've said I'm happy to negotiate with you on anything.  I don’t think any one party has a monopoly on wisdom.  But you don’t negotiate by putting a gun to the other person's head -- or, worse yet, by putting a gun to the American people's head by threatening a shutdown. 
And, by the way, even after Congress reopens your government, it's going to have to turn around very quickly and do something else -- and that's pay America's bills.  I want to spend a little time on this.  It's something called raising the debt ceiling.  And it's got a lousy name, so a lot of people end up thinking, I don’t know, I don't think we should raise our debt ceiling, because it sounds like we're raising our debt.  But that's not what this is about.
It doesn't cost taxpayers a single dime.  It doesn't grow our deficits by a single dime.  It doesn't allow anybody to spend any new money whatsoever.  So it's not something that raises our debt.  What it does is allow the U.S. Treasury, the U.S. government to pay the bills that Congress has already racked up.  I want you to think about this. 
If you go to a restaurant, you order a meal, you eat it.  Maybe you have some wine.  Maybe you have two glasses of wine -- great meal.  And then you look at the tab -- it's pretty expensive -- and you decide I'm not going to pay the bill.  But you're not saving money.  You're not being frugal.  You're just a deadbeat, right?  (Laughter.)  If you buy a house and you decide, this month I'd rather go on vacation somewhere so I'm not going to pay my mortgage, you didn't just save yourself some money.  You're just going to get foreclosed on. 
So you don't save money by not paying your bills.  You don't reduce your debt by not paying your bills.  All you're doing is making yourself unreliable and hurting your credit rating.  And you'll start getting those phone calls and those notices in the mail.  And the next time you try to borrow, somebody is going to say, uh-uh, because you don't pay your bills, you're a deadbeat.  Well, the same is true for countries.
The only thing that the debt ceiling does is to let the U.S. Treasury pay for what Congress has already bought.  That's why it's something that has been routine.  Traditionally, it's not a big deal.  Congress has raised it 45 times since Ronald Reagan took office.  This is just kind of a routine part of keeping the government running.  The last time the House Republicans flirted with not raising the debt ceiling, back in 2011 -- some of you remember this -- our economy took a bad hit.  Our country's credit rating was downgraded for the first time, just like you'd be downgraded if you didn't pay your mortgage.
This time, they are threatening to actually force the United States to default on its obligations for the very first time in history.  Now, you'll hear John Boehner and Mitch McConnell and these other Republicans say, we don't want to default.  But everybody knows -- it's written about in all the papers -- that their basic theory is, okay, if the shutdown doesn't work, then we are going to try to get some extra concessions out of the President.  We'll put like a long laundry list, all the things that we want that we can't get passed on our own.  And if we don't get it, we'll tell them we don't -- we won't vote to pay the country's bills.  We'll let the country default. 
I'm not just making this up.  I mean, it's common knowledge.  Every reporter here knows it.  And I want you to understand the consequences of this.  As reckless as a government shutdown is, as many people as are being hurt by a government shutdown, an economic shutdown that results from default would be dramatically worse.  In a government shutdown, Social Security checks still go out on time.  In an economic shutdown, if we don't raise the debt ceiling, they don't go out on time.
In a government shutdown, disability benefits still arrive on time.  In an economic shutdown, they don't.  In a government shutdown, millions of Americans -- not just federal workers -- everybody faces real economic hardship.  In an economic shutdown, falling pensions and home values and rising interest rates on things like mortgages and student loans -- all those things risk putting us back into a bad recession, which will affect this company and those workers and all of you.  That's not my analysis.  That's -- every economist out there is saying the same thing.  We've never done it before.
And the United States is the center of the world economy.  So if we screw up, everybody gets screwed up.  The whole world will have problems, which is why generally nobody has ever thought to actually threaten not to pay our bills.  It would be the height of irresponsibility.  And that's why I've said this before -- I'm going to repeat it:  There will be no negotiations over this.  (Applause.)  The American people are not pawns in some political game.  You don't get to demand some ransom in exchange for keeping the government running.  You don't get to demand ransom in exchange for keeping the economy running.  You don't get to demand ransom for doing your most basic job.        
And the sooner that the Republicans in Congress heed the warnings not just of me or Democrats like Chris and John, but heed the warnings of the Chamber of Commerce, and CEOs, and economists, and a whole lot of Republicans outside of Congress  -- they're all saying, do not do this.  They're all saying to Congress, do your job; and the sooner you do your job, the less damage you'll do to our economy and to businesses like this one.
So pass a budget, end the government shutdown.  Pay our bills.  Prevent an economic shutdown.  Just vote and end this shutdown.  And you should do it today so we can get back to growing this economy, creating jobs and strengthening our middle class.  (Applause.) 
Let me close just by sharing a story I heard as I was getting ready to come here today.  Many of you already know it.  Two years ago, a mulch factory next to M. Luis's main equipment storage facility caught fire, and most of the company's equipment was destroyed, causing millions of dollars in damage.  But even while the fire was still burning, dozens of employees rushed over to the facility and tried to save as much as they could -- some of you were probably there.  And when they finished cutting fire lines and spraying down the perimeter of their own property, they went over to help their neighbors. 
And afterwards, even though all the employees here at M. Luis are on salary, even though the company had just taken a big financial hit, Cidalia and Natalia paid everyone overtime, and along with each check they included a personalized note saying just how much they had appreciated the efforts of the workers.  And Cidalia said, everybody says the biggest asset to a business is employees.  Some people mean it, some people don’t -- we actually do. 
So this company right here is full of folks who do right by each other.  They don’t try to see if they can work every angle.  They don’t lie about each other.  They don’t try to undermine each other.  They understand they're supposed to be on the same team.  You pitch in, you look out for one another.  When somebody gets knocked down, you help them back up.  You don’t ask what can you get out of this, because you know that success doesn’t depend on one of you, it depends on all of you working together.
Well, America is no different.  I see that same spirit in so many cities and towns that I visit all across the country.  It is alive and well all across the country.  It's alive and well in this community where restaurants and businesses are rallying around their regulars, and they're looking out for all the dedicated public servants who have been furloughed.  You've been reading stories about restaurants who are saying, you know what, while you're on furlough, come on, we'll give you a burger, we'll give you a meal, we'll help you out.
That’s the American ideal.  It says, we're working together, looking out for one another, meeting our responsibilities, doing our jobs, thinking about future generations.  And that’s why I believe, ultimately, reason and common sense will prevail.  That spirit at some point will infiltrate Washington as well.  Because I think the American people are so good and so decent, they're going to get better behavior from their government than this.  And we'll once again make sure this is a country where you can make it if you try.

So thank you, everybody.  God bless you.  God bless the United States of America.  (Applause.)»

PERDÃO - VENIAM - FORGIVENESS

«Christ and the woman taken in adultery» Nicolas Poussin (1653)

Jesus words:
«Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself» Matthew´s Gospel 22:35-40
«Amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo.» Evangelho segundo Mateus 22:35-40

«8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.» John Gospel 7:53-8.1/8:11

«(...) dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris
. (...)» Verba secundum Matthaeum 6:9–13
«(...) perdoai as nossas ofensas assim como nós perdoamos a quem nos tem ofendido (...)» Evangelho segundo Mateus 6:9-13
«(...) forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (...)» Matthew Gospel 6:9-13

But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also.” Luke Gospel 6:27-29
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Luke Gospel 6:37

The answer to the tiranny of Nazism and the hommage of it victims is remember what happened for never forget generation by generation but also forgive the cumplicity of many persons with the monstruosity of the leaders, like Hitler or him partner Stalin, responsable together for milions of victims. In my opinion the Human penalty for that kind of human beings is the perpetual privation of them freedom, never what they did to the other Human Beings. The cumplicity with them by other human beings never implicate any kind of vengeance, only the privation of them freedom with different level of penalties in function of the level of gravity of them crimes.

Was not the case of many accomplices of III Reich that fall in an human and brutal injustice, like these SS guards of one of the many horrible champs of concentration created by them leaders:

Elisabeth Becker (20 July 1923 – 4 July 1946)

«(...) It was proved that she had been beating prisoners and that she was in charge of leading them to the gaschambers (...) She introduced a plea for clemency at the Polish Presidency . The court gave a favorable opinion to her demand and suggested a  15 year's imprisonment instead of the capital punishment as her crimes were lesser then Jenny Barkmann’s or Gerda Steinhoff’s , but President Boleslaw Bierut rejected her plea, confirmed the sentence (...)» http://www.geocities.ws/epjacobs4/elisabethe.htm
The President Boleslaw Bierut was an accomplice of the criminal tyrant Stalin that shared Poland with Hitler in a criminal pact in 1939 against Europe and Europeans. These capital penalties, like all, was a crime against Humanity. A court don´t have the right of decision about the sacred life of a human being. Only can private persons of them freedom. What happened in Nazism and Stalinism systems was montruous but the execution of the cumplices of Hitler and Stalin, like these SS guards, was horrible too.

The monstruosity of nazism against persons created monstruosities against nazis. This example is one in millions of victims of nazism and it terrorism:

Lepa Radić (1925–1943) a partisan victim of nazism. The nazis propose to her the revelation of her comrades and leaders identities. She responded that she was not a traitor and they would reveal themselves when they avenged her.

The abolition of capital penalty is crucial for Humanity. Don´t murder the criminal human being is included in the commandament «You shall not murder». Portugal was a good example in it abolition praised by the Humanist Victor Hugo in XIX century:
«Está pois a pena de morte abolida nesse nobre Portugal, pequeno povo que tem uma grande história. (...) Felicito a vossa nação. Portugal dá o exemplo à Europa. Desfrutai de antemão essa imensa glória. A Europa imitará Portugal. Morte à morte! Guerra à guerra! Viva a vida! Ódio ao ódio. A liberdade é uma cidade imensa da qual todos somos concidadãos» Victor Hugo (1876)
« [...] Messieurs, il y a trois choses qui sont à Dieu et qui n'appartiennent pas à l'homme : l'irrévocable, l'irréparable, l'indissoluble. Malheur à l'homme s'il les introduit dans ses lois. Tôt ou tard elles font plier la société sous leurs poids, elles dérangent l'équilibre nécessaire des lois et des mœurs, elles ôtent à la justice humaine ses proportions ; et alors il arrive ceci, réfléchissez-y, messieurs, que la loi épouvante la conscience [...] »
— Discours de Victor Hugo devant l'Assemblée constituante, 15 septembre 1848.

Jesus said to us to Love the other, included the enemies that implicate we forgive them and wish that they really repent of them ways of destruction and self destruction. By this way of peace we don´t have a long chain of destruction by destruction, war by war, vengeance by vengeance, negativity by negativity.
Jesus talk to us for we feel that and realize in our Being (to be), not only in our must or should be.

Escravidão: Ausência de Liberdade pela força bruta
do Neolítico à Antiguidade, à Modernidade e Época Contemporânea
Da invenção da Agricultura aos impérios da Antiguidade e da Modernidade até à actualidade

Servidão: Liberdade fortemente condicionada pela força
Da Antiguidade à Idade Média, à Modernidade e Idade Contemporânea
Do latifúndio romano (latus+fundus amplo+poder) ao Feudalismo que se estende até à Rússia do século XX

Exploração: Liberdade condicionada, consenso forçado pela dependência do trabalho para a sociedade
Da Modernidade à Idade Contemporânea
Da revolução industrial inglesa, o Capitalismo e a sua evolução, cada vez mais descondicionamento da liberdade nos países desenvolvidos até à emergência dos países menos desenvolvidos outra vez com cada vez mais condicionamento da liberdade

Criação: Liberdade descondicionada, trabalho livre para realização pessoal e social!
Da Idade Contemporânea à Idade Futura
A capacidade da Humanidade se descondicionar da Natureza e do materialismo e viver em Harmonia com o seu Meio Ambiente e consigo própria potencia menos tempo de trabalho necessário e condicionamento e mais tempo de trabalho-lazer com prazer, que muitas pessoas já realizam nos nossos dias. Será o advento da Economia e Sociedade baseada na Cultura, na Arte, na Espiritualidade, na criação em que o Ser está mais próximo do seu dever ser, em que o Ser está próximo do seu Criador!

A História da Humanidade vai criando as condições objectivo-subjectivas para a Evolução da escravidão à criação!


Com a agricultura
Começa a escravatura
Com o latifúndio
Começa o servo infortúnio
Com a capitalística revolução
Começa a livre mas condicionada exploração
Mas esta progressiva Libertação
Prepara o caminho para a pessoal realização
Numa sociedade e num Mundo baseado na Criação
Escravidão, servidão e exploração
São expressões históricas de tirânica opressão
Da brutal força a um brutal consenso
O poder exerce-se sem senso
Até que o Amor prevalecerá
E a criatividade cultural e felicidade se realizará

O respeito pela Liberdade da Pessoa é sagrado! O limite da Liberdade é a própria Liberdade!

«Mesmo» no dia «mais» alegre
s«em tempo de servidão
há sempre alguém que» lembre
«há sempre alguém que diz não.»

Portugal necessita de uma nova orientação política. Esperemos que o Partido Socialista a consiga concretizar de uma forma inovadora e favorável à Nação Portuguesa, invertendo o rumo de uma cultura política representativa muito pobre, perpetuadora do «Problema Português». É necessário reorientar o País para a criação de Valor, para o Desenvolvimento, para a realização do seu imenso potencial na Europa, na América, em África, no Mundo, para o Bem Ser e Bem Estar das suas Pessoas, seja qual for a sua Nação de origem. Sou defensor de um Nacionalismo Universalista, de um Humanismo Cristão e de um Socialismo Democrático, do aprofundamento da Democracia Representativa com dimensões participativas.

«Declaração
UM NOVO RUMO PARA PORTUGAL
Portugal precisa de um novo rumo.
As graves crises que hoje vivemos exigem de nós um novo olhar, uma nova vontade e novas soluções.
Um novo olhar para as suas causas e consequências.
Uma nova vontade para lhes pôr fim, criando um horizonte de esperança para Portugal.
E novas soluções que aproveitem o potencial do país e as capacidades dos portugueses.
A saída para as crises é política e obriga-nos a pensar e agir fora dos quadros habituais, trazendo para o espaço da política muitas ideias que já existem na sociedade.
Queremos construir um novo futuro com base nos valores da liberdade, da igualdade de oportunidades e da justiça social.
É daqui que partimos, do espaço da esquerda democrática.
É esta a nossa identidade.
Estamos abertos a todos os contributos e a todas as participações, procurando os compromissos possíveis que não ponham em causa essa identidade.
O espaço a que damos corpo tem como marcas distintivas a valorização do trabalho e a dignidade dos portugueses; maior transparência na vida pública e forte combate à corrupção; um desenvolvimento sustentável, solidário e ecológico; a defesa do bem comum e do Estado Social; a construção de uma Europa política, social e económica com uma dimensão federal que garanta a igualdade entre os Estados e entre os cidadãos; e uma democracia de participação.
2
Depois de Abril de 74, os portugueses fizeram um caminho extraordinário de liberdade e progresso. Mas não conseguimos resolver problemas estruturais essenciais: baixa competitividade; forte dependência externa, em particular na alimentação e na energia; e desequilíbrio das finanças públicas.
O Governo PSD/CDS tem agravado estes problemas, empobrecendo o país e aprofundando as desigualdades, de tal maneira que é a própria democracia que começa a estar em causa, não no seu sentido formal, mas enquanto capacidade de um povo decidir do seu destino.
Não tinha que ser assim.
Não há soluções simples. Mas há soluções. Há alternativas.
Temos a obrigação de mobilizar os portugueses, em torno de um projeto orientado para a criação de riqueza, a coesão social e territorial e a recuperação da sua dignidade.
É este o objetivo da Convenção Um novo rumo para Portugal.
A melhor maneira de celebrar os 40 anos de Abril é transformar 2014 num tempo de mudança e de viragem.
Sem demagogias. Sem ilusões.
A situação de Portugal é muito grave e requer um grande esforço coletivo que só pode resultar se houver um novo rumo.
A situação exige clarificação, que em democracia deve traduzir-se na concretização de alternativas.
Uma alternativa política responsável, aberta à participação de todos os progressistas que não se conformam, nem se resignam, com o estado a que o nosso País chegou.
Sem alternativas, a democracia esgota-se num rotativismo que nada resolve.
3
Portugal precisa de um novo rumo.
De uma nova visão.
De um novo impulso cívico.
Definir Um novo rumo para Portugal é organizar uma corrente de mudança com uma orientação clara e com sentido patriótico.
A CONVENÇÃO
A Convenção Um novo rumo para Portugal é o espaço de encontro dos portugueses que sonham um país diferente e querem protagonizar essa mudança. Pessoas, organizações e movimentos com origens e sensibilidades políticas distintas, disponíveis para convergirem numa proposta comum para Portugal.
A Convenção tem apenas duas regras: liberdade e conhecimento, liberdade com conhecimento.
A liberdade inspira o nosso debate, os nossos ideais, os nossos encontros.
O conhecimento mobiliza-nos para a construção de soluções concretas e credíveis.
As sociedades atuais são complexas e diversas. As pessoas têm um nível de educação e de cultura, e um acesso ao conhecimento, como nunca tiveram no passado. As tecnologias e os meios digitais permitem a todos expressar as suas opiniões, através de redes de relação e de comunicação.
Existem assim as condições para uma maior participação e proximidade dos cidadãos à vida pública. Governar na era das sociedades complexas implica alargar os espaços de liberdade e de debate, acreditar na capacidade de decisão
4
das pessoas e construir processos de descentralização e de cooperação que reforcem a partilha democrática das decisões.
A Convenção dará corpo, com clareza e rigor, à existência de uma alternativa construída com base numa aliança das forças progressistas, comprometidas com uma nova política de criação de riqueza e de recuperação da dignidade dos portugueses.
Os trabalhos da Convenção assumem o emprego como prioridade.
Portugal foi feito com o trabalho dos portugueses. E Portugal precisa do trabalho dos portugueses. O desemprego e a emigração, nomeadamente dos nossos jovens, são um desperdício de capital humano, uma perda de valor que não podemos aceitar.
Portugal tem o dever de proporcionar novas oportunidades para as pessoas que perderam o seu emprego e, desse modo, permitir que contribuam para a criação de riqueza e para o desenvolvimento do País.
UMA PRIORIDADE: O EMPREGO
O emprego é a chave de todas as oportunidades. E, por isso, tem que estar no coração de todas as políticas.
O emprego é muito mais do que um salário no final do mês. É uma condição da dignidade e da felicidade humana.
É um dos alicerces da coesão social. É o principal instrumento de combate à pobreza e à exclusão.
É com o emprego que as famílias podem ter uma vida estável, saudável e feliz. É o emprego que assegura a solidariedade entre gerações e a sustentabilidade da Segurança Social. É o emprego que abre perspetivas de futuro e de realização aos jovens.
5
Sabemos que são as empresas – e não o Estado - que criam e preservam postos de trabalho. Mas também sabemos que as más políticas públicas destroem o emprego e que as boas políticas protegem e estimulam.
É fundamental que a política económica ajude a criar um ambiente favorável ao investimento e à criação de emprego.
Uma boa política de qualificações aumenta as oportunidades de emprego. E uma política de ciência e de cultura, de investigação e de desenvolvimento, estimula a inovação empresarial e a criação de emprego qualificado. A melhoria do ambiente de negócios e da competitividade estimula o investimento e a expansão do emprego.
Por isso propomos um ‘pacto para o emprego’ a todas as forças políticas e a todos os parceiros sociais. Um pacto que concretize um novo acordo de concertação social de médio prazo, em torno de políticas orientadas para o emprego e de medidas concretas de combate à precariedade e à pobreza.
Este é o momento de agir. Não podemos aceitar que a solução seja a emigração, a redução de salários e o empobrecimento ou ficar à espera que o crescimento regresse simplesmente e crie emprego.
A nossa ação tem que ser assumida em três grandes eixos: desenvolvimento, contrato social e Europa.
6
UM NOVO DESENVOLVIMENTO
Precisamos de um novo desenvolvimento. Precisamos de aproveitar plenamente as capacidades do País, a sua riqueza em capital humano, a sua dimensão e a sua localização estratégica. Num futuro próximo não teremos mais recursos do que aqueles que hoje possuímos. Mas podemos viver melhor com os mesmos recursos. Para isso, precisamos de um novo desenvolvimento baseado numa economia do conhecimento, tecnológica, verde e inclusiva.
Temos uma visão integrada do território. Portugal tem uma dimensão terrestre de aproximadamente 92 000Km2. Mas se considerarmos a sua dimensão marítima, o nosso país tem uma das maiores zonas económicas exclusivas do Mundo (atualmente cerca de 1 728 000 Km2).
O mar e o nosso posicionamento em redes globais são alavancas estratégicas para a criação de riqueza que inspiram a nossa visão e a nossa ação.
Queremos levar Portugal a sair da atual crise através de um programa de desenvolvimento sustentável, criando uma economia mais verde, de baixas emissões de carbono, geradora de emprego e de bem-estar social e com maior qualidade ambiental.
Áreas como as energias renováveis, os recursos marítimos, a fileira florestal e alimentar, a agricultura biológica, a mobilidade inteligente, a logística, as tecnologias digitais, as indústrias criativas, o turismo e os serviços sénior (com destaque para a área da saúde), o calçado, os têxteis ou a moda, entre tantas outras, são exemplos de que é possível construir soluções com criatividade e espírito inovador. É necessário multiplicar estes exemplos, cooperando mais e alargando a rede.
7
Este é o caminho.
Avançar com a consciência de que não é possível regressar aos tempos do crescimento e do consumo ilimitados.
Ter uma visão integrada do nosso território (terra e mar).
E aproveitar as capacidades, a inteligência e os recursos existentes no nosso País e nas redes globais.
As lógicas tradicionais de crescimento e de consumo têm de ser progressivamente substituídas por novas formas de produção, de cooperação, de organização da vida e da economia. Possuímos os conhecimentos, as tecnologias e os meios que nos permitem concretizar, de facto, os princípios desta “revolução verde” de rosto humano.
Não é uma utopia, é uma necessidade pragmática. Precisamos de um novo desenvolvimento assente em empresas mais competitivas e capazes de ter sucesso nos mercados internacionais, em que o Estado assuma o seu papel no reforço das qualificações, no apoio à ciência, à investigação e à inovação, no facilitar da atividade empresarial e na criação de uma base social que garanta a igualdade de oportunidades e, desta forma, aproveite o contributo de todos os portugueses para o desenvolvimento do País. Um novo desenvolvimento é aquele que olha para as universidades e para os centros de investigação e os entende como centros de saber mas também como alavancas do conhecimento aplicado. Um novo desenvolvimento olha para estas instituições não como um custo, mas como um investimento capaz de acrescentar mais valor, ter empresas mais fortes e criar melhores empregos na sociedade.
Um novo desenvolvimento que tem na sua matriz a valorização e afirmação da Língua portuguesa no Mundo. Uma política ousada de promoção da Língua portuguesa e que transporte consigo a criação cultural dos portugueses. As
8
pessoas, a Língua e a cultura são o nosso maior recurso para pensar e construir o Portugal do século XXI.
Um novo desenvolvimento é condição para garantir o equilíbrio saudável das contas públicas e a sustentabilidade das funções sociais do Estado.
A educação pública, o serviço nacional de saúde e a proteção social são essenciais para garantir o contributo que todos podem dar para o desenvolvimento do país. E exprimem a visão de uma sociedade baseada na solidariedade, na justiça e na igualdade de oportunidades.
Este é um dos patrimónios mais valiosos da nossa democracia. Proteger este património, garantir a sua sustentabilidade, é uma responsabilidade que assumimos.
UM NOVO COMPROMISSO COM O CONTRATO SOCIAL
Precisamos de um novo compromisso com o contrato social.
Um novo modelo de desenvolvimento é condição para garantir o futuro do Estado Social, património central da democracia. Portugal precisa de um Estado forte e inteligente, que proteja as pessoas em situação de vulnerabilidade e constitua um elemento de progresso, coesão e de inovação. O diálogo social é uma condição fundamental para dar solidez ao contrato social.
É imprescindível traçar uma fronteira nítida entre o público e o privado, evitando uma promiscuidade que tem sido um dos principais fatores de desconfiança em relação aos políticos e de corrosão da democracia.
O novo compromisso com o contrato social introduz uma fronteira nítida entre público e privado, a começar pela área da Saúde que é aquela que mais afeta a vida das pessoas.
9
Um Estado forte tem consciência dos seus limites e da necessidade de respeitar e promover a participação das pessoas, a iniciativa e liberdade das empresas e uma organização mais autónoma das instituições.
Para isso, tem de ser capaz de uma ampla reorganização, que lhe permita agilidade, eficiência e capacidade de resposta para ajudar as famílias e as empresas. A valorização dos trabalhadores do setor público é uma questão decisiva para atingir este objetivo. O nosso País necessita de funcionários públicos motivados e processos administrativos simplificados, amigos das pessoas e das empresas.
O Estado tem de ser uma pessoa de bem que gera confiança nas suas relações com as pessoas.
O Estado não pode assumir compromissos futuros que não tenha a certeza de poder cumprir.
O Estado deve honrar os seus compromissos.
A estabilidade das políticas públicas é um elemento essencial deste pacto de confiança entre os cidadãos e o Estado.
O sistema fiscal, o salário mínimo nacional e as prestações sociais são três exemplos de áreas cruciais dessa estabilidade e previsibilidade, no quadro de equilíbrio sustentável e estrutural das contas públicas.
Em matéria de políticas públicas, para além das questões da saúde, da proteção social e da justiça, e de uma atenção muito especial à economia social e solidária, há três temas que queremos sublinhar como prioridade de ação.
A luta contra as desigualdades. Portugal é um dos países mais pobres da União Europeia, mas é também um dos mais desiguais. Contrariando o discurso neoliberal, temos de inscrever na nossa consciência a ideia de que uma sociedade inclusiva, da igualdade e da diversidade, é melhor para o bem-estar de todos.
10
O reforço do investimento na educação, na ciência e na cultura. Em tempos de crise é preciso escolher com cuidado os setores que são cruciais para sair da crise. A questão-chave é a ligação entre o conhecimento e a sociedade, no que diz respeito à modernização empresarial e tecnológica e à inserção profissional dos jovens mais qualificados.
A adoção de políticas fiscais desenhadas de forma inovadora, com um contrato claro e transparente entre Estado, cidadãos e empresas. O modelo de taxação dos rendimentos, em particular de capital, deve contribuir para uma distribuição mais equitativa da riqueza.
Um novo compromisso sobre o contrato social aposta numa política fiscal mais equitativa e mais progressiva.
Um combate sem tréguas à fraude e à evasão fiscal. Uma reforma global que dê estabilidade ao sistema fiscal, tão necessária para atrair o investimento privado, nacional e estrangeiro.
Uma reforma fiscal amiga da recapitalização das empresas e da criação de emprego.
Um novo compromisso exige uma regulação forte, independente e transparente que promova uma concorrência justa e proteja os direitos dos consumidores e dos cidadãos.
O novo compromisso sobre o contrato social visa alcançar um justo equilíbrio entre direitos e deveres que envolva as gerações atuais e futuras, onde todos os cidadãos possam sentir-se protegidos ao longo da sua vida nas situações de doença, maternidade, desemprego, velhice e morte.
O novo compromisso tem presente a mudança social profunda, os seus riscos e a necessidade de promover, através do diálogo e da concertação social, as reformas adequadas, no respeito pelos princípios da igualdade, da proporcionalidade, da sustentabilidade, da equidade e da proteção da confiança.
11
UMA NOVA EUROPA
Precisamos de construir uma nova Europa.
Portugal não está sozinho num mundo com interdependências crescentes.
Somos membros de pleno direito da União Europeia e só conseguiremos resolver os nossos problemas em conjunto com os nossos parceiros europeus. A dimensão europeia é um elemento fundamental do novo rumo que propomos ao país.
O sonho do euro alimentou nos povos europeus as expectativas de convergência, de crescimento e de equilíbrio. Nenhuma destas expectativas se cumpriu integralmente. As economias divergem e os desequilíbrios acentuam-se.
É necessário tirar lições deste facto, que foi um fracasso de todos e não, como agora muitas vezes se pretende fazer crer, o sucesso de uns e o fracasso de outros. É necessário corrigir esta União Económica e Monetária com novos instrumentos de convergência financeira, orçamental, económica e social.
Não é aceitável que as lacunas de construção desta União, e que as desigualdades financeiras e económicas que elas geraram, estejam a ser aproveitadas para criar uma hierarquização política e de divisão entre Estados Membros da União Europeia, subvertendo o funcionamento do método comunitário.
Pelo contrário, defendemos que é pelo aprofundamento no plano de igualdade entre cidadãos e entre Estados que se deve desenhar a solução para a crise que temos vivido.
E essa igualdade só pode nascer de um impulso que reforce a componente federal da construção europeia. Impulso que é preciso dar com lucidez, mas também com rapidez, nos planos da integração económica, orçamental, fiscal e política.
12
É este o desafio que o novo rumo assume para a Europa: uma Europa de cidadãs e de cidadãos, com Estados iguais, responsáveis e solidários. Uma Europa com soberanias partilhadas e cooperativas.
A única confrontação que deve existir na Europa é uma confrontação política, não uma confrontação geográfica que reforça sempre nacionalismos, em vez de promover o ideal europeu.
Uma Europa que enfrenta os seus problemas sem inventar “bodes-expiatórios”, nem pactuar com quaisquer tentativas de novas hegemonias nacionais.
Estamos na Europa com o orgulho de sermos parceiros de corpo inteiro. De termos dados contributos decisivos para o seu aprofundamento. De termos deveres, mas também direitos.
Os portugueses precisam de um Governo que os represente na frente europeia.
Portugal deve afirmar uma voz própria e autónoma na Europa e uma política europeia eficaz, para resolver o seu problema, mas também, para ajudar a resolver o problema europeu.
A voz de quem tem ideias claras e vontade firme.
A voz de quem acredita de alma e coração no projeto europeu.
Para nós, a opção não está entre ficar ou sair do euro. Para nós a opção está na urgência de mudar a zona euro e de a completar com a governação política, económica e social.

Goldman Sachs by different points of view (http://marketheist.com/2010/04/20/goldman-sachs-charged-with-fraud-who-could-have-guessed-part-1/)

Nas privatizações
Movimentam-se milhões
Não foram só ilusões, expoliações e salvações
As passadas e recentes nacionalizações

O ataque a Portugal
Que lhe fez muito mal
Foi lançado por homens dourados
E pelo FMI ou pela eurocracia passados

As incompatilidades de todos esses pobres seres
Deve-os deixar cheios de dificuldades com os seus deveres seres
Goldman tentacular e atento fmi
Não ficaram e não ficar por aqui

Não é moral!
Porque é legal?
Liberta-te de tal
Querido Portugal ...

Reorienta-te para a criação de Valor no Mundo indelevelmente
Reforma a tua Sociedade Política e o teu Estado profundamente
Assim contribuirás para o Bem Ser e Bem Estar da tua Nação
E não serás tão dependente do abutre e do tubarão

History will not forget all the victims of tyranny, ignorance and fanaticism, examples of which are:
- The persecution of Christians in Rome
- Atrocities of the 'Inquisition' and the religious wars in Europe,
- Stalinism and Nazism,
- Terrorisms,
- Slavery,
...
- Any kind of tyranny.

Respect for Individual Freedom is sacred! The limit of Liberty is Freedom itself!


A História não esquece todas as vítimas da tirania, da ignorância e do fanatismo, de que são exemplos:
- as perseguições aos Cristãos em Roma, 
- as atrocidades da «Inquisição» e das guerras religiosas na Europa, 
- o Estalinismo e o Nazismo, 
- os terrorismos, 
- a escravatura,

- qualquer tipo de tirania.
