To me-it’s being left, unarmed, in a sealed cell with a drooling beast of prey or a maniac who’s had some disease that’s eaten his brain out. You’d have nothing then but your voice-your voice and your thought. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;You’d scream to that creature why it should not touch you, you’d have the most eloquent words, the unanswearable words, you’d become the vessel of the absolute truth. And you’d see living eyes watching you and you’d know that the thing can’t hear you, that it can’t be reached, not reached, not in any way, yet it’s breathing and moving there before you with a purpose of it’s own. That’s horror.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; Well, that’s what’s hanging over the world, prowling somewhere through mankind, that same thing, something closed, mindless, utterly wanton, but something with an aim and a cunning of it’s own.

Num ápice, a história sobre uma rede de corrupção que se estende da sucata às altas instâncias perdeu relevo perante o debate dos labirintos jurídicos que permitem ou, aparentemente, não permitem escutas telefónicas a conversas em que o primeiro-ministro participe. Há sempre um pormenor chato qualquer a perturbar a investigação e, claro, a eventual condenação das manobras mais extravagantes perpetradas pela classe política. É assim na tal "Face Oculta", foi assim na nacionalização (de facto) do BCP, na partidarização da CGD, na lendária Fundação para a Prevenção e Segurança e note-se que só vamos em "A", de Armando Vara. Muitas letras se seguem, nenhum processo do género, quando por descuido se instaura um processo, seguiu para lá do rebuliço público inicial. É demasiado azar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;Um azar determinado pela eventual coincidência entre os que fazem e aplicam as leis e os que delas beneficiam. Por regra, cada "caso" murcha graças à soberana, assaz soberana, necessidade de se defender uma coisa chamada "Estado de direito", o qual, curiosamente, vai desaparecendo em proporção directa ao zelo com que é defendido. O "Estado de direito", conceito em teoria louvável, vem sendo adaptado na prática às conveniências dos que mandam nele, ou seja, na prática a impressão é a de que a manha e a trapaça se apossaram de tudo, ou de quase tudo, o que não é o mesmo mas, em matéria de falência do regime, é igual.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;Embora o mérito não pertença exclusivamente ao eng. Sócrates ou ao PS, eis a maior e mais autêntica reforma "socrática" e socialista: aqui há anos, achava-se espantoso que tantos portugueses não acreditassem na Justiça; hoje, o que espanta é ainda haver alguém que acredite. E, segundo demorada consulta a analistas televisivos, artigos de opinião, blogues e caixas de comentários dos "sites" informativos, há.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;Ou talvez haja. Temos de excluir das contas os que fingem confiar no sistema somente porque estão no poder, vivem das migalhas do poder ou aspiram a uma das opções anteriores. Falo dos cidadãos que, sincera e desinteressadamente, crêem no "bom funcionamento das instituições". Não os censuro, antes curvo-me em admiração e pergunto-lhes: como conseguem? De onde lhes vem o optimismo com que declararam "aguardar que a Justiça faça o seu caminho" quando a experiência sugere que, em certo tipo de processos, esse caminho aponta, invariavelmente, ao arquivo morto? O que os torna indiferentes à impunidade dos que, por dever dos cargos, estariam teoricamente sujeitos a superior escrutínio? Em suma, a que se deve a sua cegueira? Juro que quero saber: dadas as circunstâncias, não ver nada é uma virtude fundamental para se suportar o estado, não o de direito mas aquele a que isto chegou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6006819-8880569753833191026?l=cavernaobscura.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://cavernaobscura.blogspot.com/2009/11/estado-de-coma-por-alberto-goncalves.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (FMS)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006819.post-2348824214938402069</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-15T15:08:34.165Z</atom:updated><title></title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 19px; "&gt;É muito engraçado.

Tem culpa quem achou e continua a achar que habitamos uma região civilizada do globo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;A seguir, morrem esquecidas e deixadas à sua sorte pelo mesmo Estado que alimentam e que faz ponto de honra em extorquir-lhes (dir-se-ia que nisso se comprazem) toda a água, sal e ureia que os corpos puderem gerar. Já vi dois sogros, um tio e indirectamente mais meia dúzia de casos partirem sem regresso, muito antes da sua hora, por culpa, repito, culpa no sentido formal, ético, jurídico e deontológico do termo, do Estado português. A negligência, a estupidez e o fardo das décadas fazem com que haja aí, à solta, uma besta maior que todos nós e que nos leva aqueles a quem amamos, só e apenas porque alguns de nós ainda crêem que as coisas podem funcionar como é esperado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;E por fim morrem aguardando, implodidos, sucumbindo ao próprio peso, numa espécie de hino débil e retorcido à condição humana, agravados pela miserável e abjecta circunstância sob a qual insistem, ano após duro ano, em deixar bater o coração. Num hospital, num ficheiro qualquer, na estrada, no quarto sombrio e calado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Então, nesta terra, a um dia de semana em que trinta e cinco graus e folhas verdes desmentiam Outubro e ainda voavam moscas, teve de haver outro enterro, onde sabem que mais, estava cheio de gente, e cheirava a resignação, e a pó, e a sujo e a vinho e a cansaço e a despojo e havia um odor dentro do odor e nas veias e nas calças gastas de quem já não trabalha e por isso pode ir a funerais em dias úteis, nesses tecidos havia muito pouca coisa que eu tivesse visto que me fizesse mudar de ideias quanto à verdadeira lástima que se tornou este país onde ainda vivemos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6006819-2377340895885804945?l=cavernaobscura.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://cavernaobscura.blogspot.com/2009/10/ouco-dizer-que-ha-um-sol-inclemente.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (FMS)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006819.post-4451557368126278636</guid><pubDate>Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-14T11:51:42.336+01:00</atom:updated><title>The inmates are running the asylum (II)</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida console', 'courier new', sans-serif;

Grandes são as virtudes de coesão nacional e de brandura particular do povo português para que essa anarquia que está nas almas não tenha nunca verdadeiramente transbordado para as coisas!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Bandidos da pior espécie (muitas vezes, pessoalmente, bons rapazes e bons amigos - porque estas contradições, que aliás o não são, existem na vida), gatunos com o seu quanto de ideal verdadeiro, anarquistas-natos com grandes patriotismos íntimos - de tudo isto vimos na açorda falsa que se seguiu à implantação do regimen a que, por contraste com a monarquia que o precedera, se decidiu chamar República.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A monarquia havia abusado das ditaduras; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;os republicanos passaram a legislar em ditadura, fazendo em ditadura as suas leis mais importantes, e nunca as submetendo a cortes constituintes, ou a qualquer espécie de cortes. A lei do divórcio, as leis da família, a lei da separação da Igreja e do Estado - todas foram decretos ditatoriais, todas permanecem hoje, e ainda, decretos ditatoriais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A monarquia havia desperdiçado, estúpida e imoralmente, os dinheiros públicos. O país, disse Dias Ferreira, era governado por quadrilhas de ladrões. E a república que veio multiplicou por qualquer coisa - concedamos generosamente que foi só por dois (e basta) - os escândalos financeiros da monarquia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A monarquia, desagregando a Nação, e não saindo espontaneamente, criara um estado revolucionário. A república veio e criou dois ou três estados revolucionários. No tempo da monarquia, estava ela, a monarquia, de um lado; do outro estavam, juntos, de simples republicanos a anarquistas, os revolucionários todos. Sobrevinda a república, passaram a ser os republicanos revolucionários entre si, e os monárquicos depostos passaram a ser revolucionários também. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;A monarquia não conseguira resolver o problema da ordem; a república instituiu a desordem múltipla.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;É alguém capaz de indicar um benefício, por leve que seja, que nos tenha advindo da proclamação da República? Não melhorámos em admninistração financeira, não melhorámos em administração geral, não temos mais paz, não temos sequer mais liberdade. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Na monarquia era possível insultar por escrito impresso o rei; na república não era possível, porque era perigoso, insultar até verbalmente o sr. Afonso Costa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;O sociólogo pode reconhecer que a vinda da república teve a vantagem de anarquizar o país, de o encher de intranquilidade permanente, e estas cousas podem designar-se como vantagens porque, quebrando a estagnação, podem preparar qualquer reacção que produza uma cousa mais alta e melhor. Mas nem os republicanos pretendiam este resultado nem ele pode surgir senão como reacção contra eles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;E o regimen está, na verdade, expresso naquele ignóbil trapo que, imposto por uma reduzidíssima minoria de esfarrapados mentais, nos serve de bandeira nacional - trapo contrário à heráldica e à estética, porque duas cores se justapõem sem intervenção de um metal e porque é a mais feia coisa que se pode inventar em cor. Está ali contudo a alma do republicanismo português - o encarnado do sangue que derramaram e fizeram derramar, o verde da erva de que, por direito natural, devem alimentar-se.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Este regimen é uma conspurcação espiritual. A monarquia, ainda que má, tem ao menos de seu o ser decorativa. Será pouco socialmente, será nada, nacionalmente. Mas é alguma coisa em comparação com o nada absoluto que a república veio a ser.»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;- Fernando Pessoa, "Da República"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6006819-8829628265800926222?l=cavernaobscura.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://cavernaobscura.blogspot.com/2009/10/o-observador-imparcial-chega-uma.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (FMS)</author></item></channel></rss>
