REINO UNIDO II - UNITED KINGDOM II

Much more than «to be or not to be» ... a lot of doubts about the referendum: London, Manchester, Leeds, ... Scotland, North of Ireland ... vote for UK remain in EU!

REINO UNIDO - UNITED KINGDOM

 

«We all know that the vast majority of the terrified, friendless and profoundly vulnerable child refugees scattered across Europe tonight came from Syria.
We also know that as that conflict enters its sixth barbaric year that desperate Syrian families are being forced to make an impossible decision: stay and face starvation, rape, persecution and death or make a perilous journey to find sanctuary elsewhere.
And who can blame desperate parents for wanting to escape the horror that their families are experiencing. The reality in which children are being killed on their way to school, where children as young as seven are being forcibly recruited to the front line and where one in three Syrian children have grown up knowing nothing but fear and war.
These children have been exposed to things no child should ever witness and I know I personally would risk life and limb to get my two precious babies out of that hell-hole.» JO COX (2015)

LUSITÂNIA II - LUSITANIA II - LUSITANIA II


Exposição Lusitânia Romana. Origem de dois povos / Lusitania Romana. Origen de dos pueblos.


LUSITÂNIA

Após um longa e dialéctica evolução
Nasce uma Luso Latina Nação
Criada pelo divino Amor no coração
Manifesto numa oração:

"Oh Lusitânia formosa
Nascida do Sol e da sua Esposa
Onde a Estrela diz ao europeu dia adeus
Não por Zeus, mas por Deus

No europeu extremo ocidental
Onde a Serra da Lua encontra a atlântica onda
Se vai casar mais tarde com Portugal
Numa Latina União profunda

Lusitanas Latinas, Lusitanos Latinos
Com fadados destinos
Onde o poder encontrou o Amor
A paz se manifestou numa lusitana flor"

Entre lígures e celtas
Emergiram as pessoas lusitanas
Que se confrontaram com as invasões romanas
Em profundos e dialécticos deltas

Num deles se notabilizou Viriato
Pela sua palavra e acto
Catalisou as lusitanas almas
Ás suas liberdades chamou amas

Os homens lutavam ao lado das damas
Com muitas penas e dramas
Por contra posição
Se criou espaço para a Nação

Pela vil e cruel traição
Se chorou o amado herói da revolução
Sem qualquer pena e perdão
Roma não pagou, foi a sua razão

A História repetiu-se com Sertório
Pelos plebeus, aliado de Mário
As pessoas lusitanas de novo derrotadas
Foram depois amadas

Entre o Anas e o Douro
Emergiu a cobiça da prata e do ouro
Que financiou o poder do ambicioso César
Que gostava de depender das parcas sortes, do dado azar

Do Rubicão aos idos do mês do deus guerreiro Marte
Enfrentou também ele a brutal traição de uma parte
Em nome da anti tirania
Assim sempre aos tiranos se assassinaria

Lusitânia latinizada
Terra lusa valorizada
Tinha Olisipo encantada
E em Emerita augusta a capital encontrada



«Auto da Lusitânia» pelo grande Gil Vicente (1531)

«(...) Naquella cova Sibylaria, muito sabio e prudentissimo Senhor, o autor foi ensinado que ha tres mil annos que h~ua generosa nympha chamada Lisibeia, filha de h~uua Rainha de Berberia e de hum principe marinho; que a esta Lisibea os fados derão por morada aquellas medonhas barrocas, que estão da parte do Sol ao pé da Serra de Cintra, que naquele tempo se chamava a Serra Solercia. E como por vezes o Sol passasse pelo opposito da lustrante Lisibea, e a visse nua sem nenh~ua cobertura, tão perfeita em suas corporaes proporções, como fermosa em todolos logares de sua gentileza; houve della h~ua filha tão honrada de sua luz, que lhe puzerão nome Lusitania, que fooi diesa e senhora desta Provincia. Neste mesmo tempo havia em Grecia hum famoso cavaleiro e mui namorado em extremo, e grandissimo caçador, que se chamava Portugal; o qual estando em Hungria ouvio dizer das diversas e famosas caças da serra Solercia, e veio-a buscar. E como este Portugal, todo fundado em amores, visse a fermosura sobrenatural de Lusitania, filha do Sol, improviso se achou perdido por ela. Lisibea sua madre, desatinada ciosa, morreo de ciumes deste Portugal. Foi enterrada na moontanha que naquele tempo se chamava o Feliz Deserto; onde depois fooi edificada esta cidade, que por causa da sepultura de Lisibea lhe puzerãoo nome Lisboa (...)»





(IN)JUSTICE

http://www.tennisgrandstand.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Maria-Sharapova-7.jpg
Maria Sharapova - tenis player, a recent victim of the injustice of human beings ...

«Today with their decision of a two year suspension, the ITF tribunal unanimously concluded that what I did was not intentional. The tribunal found that I did not seek treatment from my doctor for the purpose of obtaining a performance enhancing substance. The ITF spent tremendous amounts of time and resources trying to prove I intentionally violated the anti-doping rules and the tribunal concluded I did not. You need to know that the ITF asked the tribunal to suspend me for four years – the required suspension for an intentional violation -- and the tribunal rejected the ITF’s position.
While the tribunal concluded correctly that I did not intentionally violate the anti-doping rules, I cannot accept an unfairly harsh two-year suspension. The tribunal, whose members were selected by the ITF, agreed that I did not do anything intentionally wrong, yet they seek to keep me from playing tennis for two years. I will immediately appeal the suspension portion of this ruling to CAS, the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
I have missed playing tennis and I have missed my amazing fans, who are the best and most loyal fans in the world. I have read your letters. I have read your social media posts and your love and support has gotten me through these tough days. I intend to stand for what I believe is right and that’s why I will fight to be back on the tennis court as soon as possible.
Love, Maria
P.S. My lawyer prepared a short summary of how the ITF process works so I thought I would pass it along to my fans so you too can be aware of what the ITF rules call for» https://www.facebook.com/sharapova/

«Know, that on the right hand of the Indies there is an island called California very close to the side of the Terrestrial Paradise; and it is peopled by black women, without any man among them, for they live in the manner of Amazons (...)»
«Sabed que a la diestra mano de las Indias existe una isla llamada California muy cerca de un costado del Paraíso Terrenal; y estaba poblada por mujeres negras, sin que existiera allí un hombre, pues vivían a la manera de las amazonas. Eran de bellos y robustos cuerpos, fogoso valor y gran fuerza. Su isla era la más fuerte de todo el mundo, con sus escarpados farallones y sus pétreas costas. Sus armas eran todas de oro y del mismo metal eran los arneses de las bestias salvajes que ellas acostumbraban domar para montarlas, porque en toda la isla no había otro metal que el oro.»
Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo Las sergas de Esplandián, published in 1510, written before 1505.
