The European Union Intensifies the Effects of Unemployment

I have been a Euro-enthusiast since I was 16; however I am beginning to understand the Euro-sceptics... The European Union (EU) was created under the guise of bringing prosperity to all its members. I remember that, little after the Maastricht Treaty was signed, there was this concern that the traditions and culture of each country-member would be affected - people were not too keen on having Brussels interfering with their way of life. I also remember having an interesting discussion, with one of my high school teachers, in which I argued that the Portuguese had nothing to fear because it was up to us to protect our culture, our history, our way of life and that the Portuguese Members of the European Parliament ( MEP ) would make sure that our interests would be protected - as you can see, at 16 I was politically romantic. The EU didn't change our basic culture or traditions (although the Portuguese began travelling more); but it did assault the way small business was do...

Texts: The Way of the Warrior

Prophetess Anna by Rembrandt WHAT, AM I? A seeker bearing tears; a ball rolling laughter. Who, am I? I am that am; a hushed voice. Where, am I? A Universe knows no bounds: but itself. When, am I? Now the waters flow, and now they stop. Why, am I? Wind scatters dust, but suddenly one speck is not a speck, but a seed of hope. How, am I? The singing bird asks not of its origin. It lives instead, each day born anew: A Timeless, Dawn. -- Stephen Cheney This most beautiful poem was brought to me by this blog's Contributing Editor . Besides having evoked in me deeper existential questions, it has led me to ponder upon the importance of analysing and interpreting texts. If an individual is capable of analysing and interpreting a text, he will be able to communicate properly with others - he will convey his message in proper terms and he...

Maxiavelli: The War of the Tribes

Mosaic of the 12 Tribes (from a Synagogue wall in Jerusalem) "And they [the Levites] shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord is their inheritance, as He hath spoken unto them. And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw." - Deuteronomy 18:2-3 The Haredim are practically the contemporary Levites: they diligently study all Jewish Religious Texts; they assiduously perform the Tefillah , they lead a (often strict) religious life and, quite frankly, they hold the key to the original Jewish history, tradition and identity so that Am Yisrael never forgets where it came from. Jews were commanded to observe the Torah in its entirety; but today not all Jews observe the Law - some secular ones even eat pork (mainly in the US and in the UK); but I digress. In a modern analogy, God set the contemporary Levites ...

The Hottest Passport in Town: Cape Verde's

By Max Coutinho All of the sudden, we see Cape Verde’s Passports everywhere. This should not be strange if we think that Cape Verdians rank as one of the world’s top emigrants; however, when the holders of such passports are citizens stemming from Senegal, Guiné-Bissau, Angola, Ivory Coast etc…we can’t help but to wonder… One could argue that maybe they lived in the Islands for more than a decade - yes, true but they don’t speak either Portuguese or Cape Verde Creole. They speak French (including the individuals from Guiné-Bissau). Raise your hand if you get the point. Cape Verde and the CPLP bloc should look into this phenomenon, specially given the recently created mobility pact - we know Portugal is keeping an eye open regarding fake passports and the Immigration Services have been arresting foreign citizens who seek to get residence permits with such documents. Normally, these things happen because someone tips people about such issues “Oh go to Cape Verde: there you can...

Maxiavelli: Fight Terror & we'll Remit

The Portrait of an African Gentleman by Jan Mostaert Hi, my name is Max and I am a politicoholic. - Hi, Max! Yet, sometimes, politics can get to my wits… In less than a month the world has witnessed two strong examples of why some say politics is dirty. The Demise of Meles Zenawi Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, died on the 20 th of August 2012. Upon his demise world leaders praised what they called “one of the greatest African leaders”: “Prime Minister Meles (..) demonstrated his strong personal commitment over many years to improving the lives of not just his own but all African peoples, through his work on African unity, climate change, development and in promoting peace and stability, particularly in the Horn of Africa.” José Manuel Barroso, European Commission president “His personal contribution to Ethiopia's development, in particular by lifting millions of Ethiopians out of poverty, has set an example for the region.” David Cameron, Briti...

Training Knights Lesson 9 Soldiers’ Duty

By Stephen Cheney Soldiers’ Duty A reminder is needed for a broader consideration when seeking to resolve obedience or disobedience to an order from a higher authority in an organization, especially a military one. This article applies to all military personnel whether their commanders be good or bad. Who or What are we? We each determine our essence and value by the choices that we make each day, each moment. NATIONS A nation is a cluster of somewhat similar cultures, or cultures that are willing to live near to and tolerate each other. When peoples seek to be a nation, borders are established to define the area of existence in which their authority rules. Foreign armies are not to violate the wishes of a people by crossing borders and seeking to destroy or subjugate them. Crossing borders with soldiers may be met with a fight to the death. Not prominently considered is the drive and nourishment given to a culture by ...
