Like all Uruguayans, the "debate" (a common euphemism for ambush journalism) Bordaberry Jr .- Michelini Jr. left me as surprised, but unless the check, at least for many respondents in the street these days, was a kind of contest in which Michelini Jr. lost. Or confirm the unusual ignorance of the media by publicizing the defense of Juan Maria Bordaberry would present their dirty recordings as evidence, something that even the stupidest of shysters know that it is legally inadmissible silly (and useless) . Or note that the majority of Uruguayans do not recognize a press operation the size of the cock of John Holmes even if they leave ass like a flower.
But I want to talk about something else and are two facts / opinions related to the two sides means that lent themselves to this amazing cleaning operation abhorrent dictator and member ever expelled from the Colorado Party - Julio Maria Bordaberry, ie Urban Area and Search.
The Urban Zone is already incredible, I remember, despite being the antithesis of thought of their drivers, have defended what I thought was a good example of revitalization of the language of television news programs, and have noted that actually the speech of the program was reactionary but valid, the sense that exposure is not insignificant in itself by the fact that I do not share. But Urban Area has been something more interesting: from who expelled Gustavo Escanlar the program has definitely turned into pure speech and yellow hard right (let's be fucked to become more right for casting to Escanlar) and operate politically left and right on issues such as (in) security "of which have become the major broadcasters / media terrorists as well as cutting-edge work in the interests of the fall of Minister José Díaz - or judicial power (remember the report on the judge Eguren, judge unpresentable but against whom the report did nothing more than piling assumptions, and remember also that the emphasis on the judge had a lot to do with the actions of the same in the case Peirano, sensitive issue for an employee of The Observer as Gabriel Pereira ).
But I want to focus on a point that is not an operation but merely repulsive opinion from the absolute ignorance and feathering. Before serving Bordaberry Peter Bell, the three drivers spent the previous block ZUR talking about the "missed opportunity" of Free Trade Agreement with U.S. They did, of course, with a train of toy giving round the table in relation to the silly and repeated metaphor Vázquez on the need to jump on the bandwagon of TLC before they pass you by. The three drivers complained bitterly and without the slightest qualms about how he had missed an historic chance was to get us well and we would take the First World (the memory will menemismo recalled the pure language of the mouths of three conductors). Cecilia Bonino almost pouting and said she was working in slums and used to be in contact with these poor people that he had taken an opportunity to raise its head, only for ideological reasons and backward, and that was something I could not believe. Well, I personally do not think Cecilia Bonino can get a real idea of \u200b\u200bwhat life is really lumpen or even a dozen of these make it a gang-bang Miguelete the shore, but I was not very important " ideological. "
After the president of stupidity trying to opposition to the FTA as "ideological" against economic reality, a theory that assumes that the economy is a natural law that weighs no ideology-something that does not take a philosopher to hold his head at the paradox, since this theory itself is, by definition, totally "ideological" - all has been repeated like parrots revealed truth without stopping a second to think about the nonsense they are saying. But besides the three journalists ie people informed, the program is spent in the ass an objective and essential: the FTA for the fast track wrecked by the opposition is not "ideological" of the small left-wing fundamentalist groups are sprouting every time they see a U.S. flag, but precisely because of opposition within the FA in the non-"ideological" and rather moderate. The TLC was wrecked, or was delayed because the cretin Danilo Astori keeps repeating that he wants, stubborn as belly-eating crow because of opposition from economists of the caliber of Carlos Quijano , political analysts as Gerardo Caetano, politicians and Alberto Couriel , journalists like William Waskman , intellectuals such as Hugo Achugar ... that is, people a thousand times more intelligent and prepared than the three drivers ZUR, people who asked the questions that none of the neo-liberal spokesmen, from Astoria to Isaac Alfie - wanted to do, and that just did not know respond. Questions that did not come from the moral outrage anti-imperialism but of the simple scale that assesses the results from a pragmatic point of view . And lo
key word: pragmatism. I do not necessarily seem wrong for a country decides not to trade on a preferential basis and do not establish economic ties (ie, politicians) very consistent with murderous nations like U.S., China or Israel, in fact I'd like to see more often. But I'm not a fool to ignore the fact that almost half the population still mired in poverty, thanks to good driving gear neo-liberal in recent decades, the amount of choice is rather stark. And, pragmatically , an FTA with the U.S. can be beneficial, something that to me or to those who were on edge against the same we were able to convince pragmatic arguments. But nevertheless
Ignacio Álvarez front springs are cameras and claims, again and again, pragmatism in government pragmatism, by God, abandon the ideology, pragmatism now. And one is left wondering what the hell this guy mean by pragmatism .
I will not bore readers by explaining the history and meaning of the word originates from the Greek praxis , nor recalling the American philosophical school that William James pragmatism defined as a paradox, a ideology . If in doubt do a search and make inquiries. But what would that tell-low and slow if you can so that no problems-that pragmatism , unless the school is a follower of philosophical (ideological) of James, not a word identical to under . Pragmatism is a capacity, as indicated by its name, a practice, an instrument by which someone sacrifices a priori conviction in light of the events or the lesser evil theory. Is not unusual, either in this government, nor in the West in general, rather the opposite. It is not related to the East praise as a distinctive change of life, because this at all case would suggest the trip of a belief to another. It is simply what is meant as a convenience, high degree of ideology and, as I said before, not necessarily a virtue .
In fact one of the most repellent human beings is the moral pragmatism, or use convenient of human relationships. It's something we all know as fallutería, everyday betrayal, manipulation or trepadurismo, and all people of minimal decency reject with disgust, though increasingly, as one of the worst pests of social life, but perhaps as you are not commonly referred to as moral but pragmatic terms más groseros, es posible que gente no muy informada como los de ZUR no la relacionen con su querida palabra de origen griego. Además estoy haciendo trampas, se está hablando de pragmatismo en términos de conducción gubernamental, no en casos individuales. Bueno, ahí se podría apuntar a que la filosofía pragmática consiste en sacrificar un pensamiento macro, una filosofía moral en aras de una contingencia particular. Bueno, en estos casos tampoco -a menos que se sea de la escuela de James, repito- se considera al pragmatismo como una virtud sino como una necesidad y, a menos que estemos hablando de fundamentalistas, una necesidad de diverge el daño para más adelante. Pongo un ejemplo kid: a castaway, who is also environmental-lands on a small island where there is only one rare species of coconut palm. When you get the cold night the castaway decides to cut the coconut (after fixed if it is not Keith Richards above) and use the wood to keep warm and not freeze to death. The castaway knows that is not only eliminating a rare species of palm, but also is eliminating its food source once you run out of coconuts collected. But pragmatically concludes that their chances of survival are exposing more so every day to cold at night and kicks the problem cutting the coconut forward and making it a nice fire. There is nothing good in itself or virtuous in its decision and in fact an expert on the fauna and flora of the islands may have a more focused second opinion. In fact, pragmatism, as in the case of NAFTA, which could entail the expulsion of the Mercosur and various misfortunes long-time objective has more to do with a bet, with chance and with a short-term vision more than anything else.
This claim economistic pragmatism as a virtue is an integral part of apocalyptic neo-capitalist thinking, but is fully exposed as ideological or fart who's applied their private lives. Here's an example rude: economistic vision of absolute maximization of economic benefits as the only value would result in its consistency, for example, that drivers of ZUR-two of which are considered physically attractive people take advantage of their media exposure, to mount a empresita of fellatio between block and block, or sacrificing a few minutes after closing the program. A home economics will come out great and, considering the popularity of ZUR will not (hopefully) to be permanent, this may be a passing train only once. However, I believe and I believe that none of its members sell oral favors in the free spaces program. Which is very pragmatic .
The memorable last Wednesday's show ended with a striking reflection of Gabriel Pereira I used to go to part two of this post. After the exchange of obscenities and false dobledemoníaco balance between sniper and ambush, Pereira, pragmatic man of which eventually became the direct relationship with the Uruguayan PCU through its work in to The Republic climb The Observer to have direct source Sanguinetti, became angry and said something like " Do you know what? I I have rotten truth to this matter of looking back, I have rotten with that instead of engaging in future follow and continue to stir the past .. . "An interesting thought from someone who has helped set up the circus" widows of insecurity "as the equivalent right of the relatives of the disappeared, but whose most interesting part is not the usual rant vs future. Justice , tommy scared the sectors repeat again and again as if the economic country every time to stop a milico put in jail, but the first part: "A ME I have rotten ... . "A VOS -person with no personal relationship with any of these cases you have "rotten" - well, what? "When justice became the instrument of personal recreation of Gabriel Pereira?
There are two mysteries of media politics that I'll never finish explaining, and that somehow are related, one is the image of great democrat, maintained for decades and just eroded by strong data and statement as a pineapple Tyson, the former president and current senator for the Partido Colorado Julio Maria Sanguinetti. The other image inexplicable to me is the aura of objectivity and independence of the weekly Search. And both pictures were recently hand an event last week that perhaps went slightly unnoticed, despite the 5 page dedicated search-because of the scandal-Michelini Bordaberry.
The issue, as many know, was as follows: someone made an anonymous call to the "Blue Line" of INAU (Institute of Child and Adolescent)-line established during the last government of Sanguinetti, so that witnesses domestic violence against children could make their complaints without having to compromise by going to a branch and being virtually identified by characters who are violent denunciation. The system, although it may allow unjust accusation cases is established in many parts of the world on the assumption that, above all, protect the child. Lo and behold, denounced the call Pastor Gabriel, deputy editor of Search, accusing him of verbal abuse toward his 6 year old son. From this the Uruguay heard the statement of Senator intempestuosa colorado, oh and ex-president, Julio Maria Sanguinetti, who honored the search period in question seemed important enough to devote an entire session of the Senate to what claimed was a "verbal harassment and in fact some media and journalists considered opponents of the government of President Vázquez . "And suddenly the whole INAU was on the defensive. The argument was that the complaint had been received the day after that search advertising Pastor a" hard "complaint about violations of secularism in the Institute and considering that the complaint was anonymous, for the defendant, because the call, contrary to the assertions by Pastor at first, had been properly registered for the service of the "Blue Line" - all had to be done obviously a false accusation designed to make you a hard time with Pastor and Flia.
That may be, in fact, gives to suspect, "but also may not, in fact the truth was unknown to any it was not Pastor, his family and the complainant. INAU until the matter was made public by the intervention of Sanguinetti and his raging lieutenants, had maintained a prudent reserve this respect and, possibly, the case had not been leaked to the press if he had not come back, by express Pastor-order issue of debate in the Senate.
There are many ugly things in this case: in fact we can consider that there is now a de facto conflict between Search and government. This was shown in the statements, a few months ago, labeled A Search Vazquez and other media automatically "opposition" (which in the light of subsequent events does not seem so crazy) or the monumental amount of rotting flesh-issued search dedicating entire pages-5 on the murders of Michelini Ruiz-Gutierrez two weeks ago. Rotten meat does not take a genius to trace their origin to the house of Bordaberry Jr., and argued with great conviction that there had been involved in these murders Uruguayan-exclusive work, of course, Argentine-and perfidious the phone had been a fortune tupamaro that Michelini kept under the bed or something. A "cleansing operation" disgusting beginning to prepare the punch line since last Wednesday in Urban Area, that is not exactly objective and verified information Search for which prides itself on publishing, but something made with a clear intent to affect a trial of notorious political consequences.
But hey, maybe they have a confrontation and perhaps it the call has been forged by an official INAU resentful, angry about the note. Now, what did you do then INAU to receive the call? discard "a priori without investigation because a search period is obviously incapable of committing a crime? Breaking the security protocol of the "Blue Line" and give the complainant, the journalist? Perform an operation "hyper-secret research to maintain an number of privileges that you would never be a butcher of the Hill? Who the fuck is believed to be Gabriel Pastor to receive preferential treatment in a case in which, as far as the facts speak, involves an act of violence against a minor? I personally believe the thesis may well be a false call, and if so is the responsibility of INAU provenance research, upon verification of their falsity, something which can only be investigating those involved. In fact and in my experience, there is no reason for a journalist to have crowned. To be honest, I get the impression that the profession, by its nature, feeds some psychotic features, something of what we know of many examples.
(Speaking of guilds, APU, the guild as useless as opposed to the destruction of the union of the Republic was similar to that of a fart against the wind, then pulled chest to show solidarity with Pastor without having taken two minutes to internalize on the subject, as well as the SIP (Inter American Press Association, an organization of traditional links with Search). Because there are priorities and there are journalists who are more journalists than others).
Pastor's behavior, calling the hounds Colorado to defend not even ask why, not at all unusual. Almost could be considered as an editorial policy. And the case is good to remember one of the most shameful pages of colluding media-power in the history of Uruguayan democracy.
In 1997 Danilo Arbilla , then director of weekly Search and vice president of the SIP , sold a house in Punta del Este to a front corporation Juarez Cartel. Papers on both sides are processed by the clerk Javier Morassi personal friend of Arbilla and the Minister of Interior, the clerk also Guillermo Stirling. In March 2000, the Drug Squad of Punta del Este presented to justice a criminal complaint to investigate the assets of the Juarez Cartel in Uruguay, which are mentioned Arbilla clerk and his accomplices.
A couple of days later Danilo Arbilla was presented at the offices of Luis Hierro López, who was then Vice President, showing him a copy of the complaint directly and mysteriously stolen from the court, and claimed by the discredit that he means on being involved in such research. The next day, fast as a cadet (perhaps Gabriel Pereira speed that berates the current legislators to approve treaties blind) Iron in his office quoted the National Director of Police, Inspector General Roberto Rivero , y concertó una cita con Danilo Arbilla para ese mismo día. En ella Arbilla y Rivero habrían acordado "eliminar todos los juicios de valor" de la denuncia en cuestión.
Es así que la Brigada Antidrogas de Punta del Este presentó una segunda denuncia, pero no pudo dejar de mencionar a Arbilla porque, efectivamente, éste le había vendido una casa a los narcotraficantes. Cuatro días después el cadete Hierro se volvió a entrevistar con Rivero para hacerle saber que Arbilla no ha quedado nada conforme con la segunda presentación de la denuncia. Al otro día Stirling le presentó un memorandum redactado por Rivero y explicando la situación al presidente de Uruguay, Jorge Batlle, who had nothing better to do, obviously. Almost simultaneously, the Home Office lifted the second complaint.
But Argentina is then discovered that police undercover office of the Juarez Cartel in Buenos Aires received three calls from Montevideo and the three came from the office of Danilo Arbilla Search. Rivero then sought to reopen the case, but the minister denied Stirling, also dismantled a few days later, the Drug Squad in Punta del Este. Days later
Rivero Arbilla phoned home and as he threatened. The next day Stirling-politician who was never characterized by speed-fired Rivero of the National Police, the Minister Stirling gave as reasons "discrepancies in the conduct of the war on drugs." A week later Gap issued a note stating that the dismissal of the inspector Rivero was due to his refusal to stop investigating Arbilla. Asked by the press, the Minister Stirling explained that Rivero was dismissed for threatening and Arbilla accused without evidence, and called it a "terrorist state." Rivero was, before being appointed a controversial name for being identified as linked to the repression in the years of lead (as good amount of narcotics cops Uruguay). However, this only became relevant at this time, being remembered for the weekly search despite not being very consistent with its policy of "no looking back." Arbilla
then devoted himself to expose a conspiracy theory against that would be involved in the weekly PS, the newspaper Republic, the U.S. Customs Service, Rivero, the weekly Brecha , the radical left, the weekly Mate Amargo Argentina and police, all conspired to discredit them. Search Two journalists then took calls made from the office of his boss, saying that they had done to investigate the case and the APU filed a complaint over what they considered a puncture on the phones to search, without recognizing that the only thing was handled was the source and destination calls, not its content.
On June 13 President Batlle publicly supported the minister's decision to relieve the inspector Stirling Rivero. On June 14 counsel for the Police Prosecutor, attorney Juan Carlos Martino , refused to initiate an administrative inquiry into Rivero and unwavering in his resignation. Stirling later explained that he never ordered the police to investigate tax resigns Rivero, but just wanted you to call and to ratify or rectify his sayings, and she does not plan summary. The opposition called for the formation of an investigative commission but declined official representatives. And everything was there.
What's clear in all this, of course Arbilla no relationship with drug traffickers (which in 2000 seemed a nonsense but what my point of view has become more extensive in recent times) or goodness and honesty of the inspector Rivero-After a potential torturer and was relocated to another post-but the more unusual privileges enjoyed SNTE law who was just the director of a medium "Independent and objective", around which stood the entire state apparatus in the hands of party government at that time was to ensure and guarantee their rights not logical city, but the total inaccessibility of his person to the police research instruments which all other citizens have to submit without protest. A city so special that not only get access on a personal meeting with a vice president (something that occurs to us is not as normal in the world of John Doe), but also manages to have the vice-president, interior minister and the president himself operating openly in its favor against an investigation arising within those same powers.
Who can wonder, then, that Pastor is considered worthy of similar privileges? But the government changed, and one of those independent prestige not secure search box as before any preferential treatment, because in one of those things were not so independent. No I mean why did the kingdom of justice and fairness, I would like to see that the current government would demand compliance with labor laws newspaper friend Republic with the same rigor with which it is required other patterns, but at least Fasano not have the nerve to stand as "independent" or "objective."
Press (understanding as such not only to print media but journalism in general), as the word pragmatism, neither good nor bad in itself, but obviously for many holders of it is a kind of privilege that separates them from others mortal and that makes their views and sensitivities something important, something so important to have to modify the legal reality in relation to it. I remember that perfect moment when the great historian Carlos Demasi , questioned by ignorant people who may not even recognize the truth of the sexual history of her sisters said in a report, in relation to the protest of a legislator who said offended by Demasi historical observations-" Why the legislature thinks that his sensitivity is so important? why do not you go to hell? ."
course in some of these cases we may not be talking about sensitivity, but rather of impunity. Uruguayans know something in excess.
This complex and lengthy exercise of ellipsis seems an excuse not to discuss the burning issue in question and that really matters, the "debate" Bordaberry-Michelini. But for me it's not worth talking about it, I think any person of goods (excluding therefore the idiot who titled The Observer newspaper the next day matching program the situation of both children) has to be drawn clear conclusions about it. However
read about online surveys and came to the conclusion that the Uruguayans are mostly good people. In the same huge percentages ranging from 75 to 85% of the opinionated, Michelini state that was "unmasked" or "lost" the debate or the treacherous tactics of Bordaberry was "justified." And of course we must be very alert to notice that some supporters of Bordaberry must have been busy as online voting several times because the rates are ridiculous. But it is still worrying, because many of those views must be valid and if a rational person have the perception that he lied because another has been recorded in private saying something that was always implicit in their public statements, just because the other side is a madman screaming "you're a liar! unmasked you," then we are in the oven. I have no particular sympathy for Rafael Michelini, then by his family and that of Gutierrez Ruiz and by the growing number killed by the dictatorship of Juan Maria Bordaberry-president elected by the Colorado Party, to which he belonged when he gave the hit and that, again because I feel like it was never sent off, "commanded with unusual cruelty. I think it was wrong Michelini irritated and going the program, should have simply listened to the recording on the phone and then say "yes I just said what? ."
recently accused the younger generation to be totally literal, not being able to mistrust and uncritically accept what they say. Maybe I was unfortunately wrong, maybe this is not a feature of the younger generation but for society in general. But one thing is the online surveys and one is justice and, mysteriously, perhaps this is time for justice.
