3 SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE A PAWN OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER

August 23, 2017 by Edward Morgan

The mother lode of all conspiracies is the New World Order. In essence, it is a high-level, multi-generational plan to render all sovereign national governments subservient to an unelected, supranational, authoritarian world government. In this scheme, the people of planet earth will be micro managed with strict social, technological and financial controls. It is the total consolidation of global power into the hands of a ruthless, minority elite who aim to rape the planet and enslave the human race.

They can’t do it alone, though, they need your help. They need witting and unwitting minions to set the brush fires of revolutionary change in our towns and cities. They need pawns to agitate and disrupt the relative peace, and to upend the status quo with turmoil. They need senseless, animal-like violence, caught on camera and replayed ad infinitum on cable news and social media. They need terror, of both the foreign and domestic variety. They need fear in the streets, and fear in the minds of the proles.

Most of all, though, they need you to create chaos, so that they can bring order.

The powers that be, those demons of the deep state, those orchestrators of fear, famine, debt and war, cannot achieve their plan without leading the masses into confusion and disarray, for only then will the masses demand an end to their own freedoms and privacy. And sadly, it appears their army of minions is growing in strength and audacity.

In the aftermath of Charlottesville it is more clear than ever that there is no shortage of pawns for the New World Order. The armies of ignorance are gathering, and here are three signs you might be among them.

1. You’re Playing the Divide and Conquer Game

Left vs. right. Black vs. white. Republican vs. Democrat. Citizen vs. Immigrant. Communist vs. Fascist. Have vs. Have Not. My Team vs. Your Team. Me vs. You.

There a thousand and one ways for a society to faction and split apart, but without community and unity we are lost, doomed and done. If you’re entrenched in one side of any dualistic paradigm, seeking to convert or to crush the other side, then you’re playing right into the hands of the NWO.

The powers that be, those demons of the deep state, those orchestrators of fear, famine, debt and war, cannot achieve their plan without leading the masses into confusion and disarray, for only then will the masses demand an end to their own freedoms and privacy. And sadly, it appears their army of minions is growing in strength and audacity.

In the aftermath of Charlottesville it is more clear than ever that there is no shortage of pawns for the New World Order. The armies of ignorance are gathering, and here are three signs you might be among them.

2.) You ‘re a Vocal Supporter of the War DuJour

Today the drums are beating for a nuclear assault against North Korea… and military intervention in Venezuela. Just recently we’ve been told we need to prepare for conflict with Russia, and that an invasion of Syria is in our best interests. Prior to that we destroyed Libya and Iraq, we occupied Afghanistan, and we’ve been using the war on drugs and the war on terror as casus belli for interference in dozens of countries around the world.

The imperial mindset is several generations deep in America, and the citizenry has all but fully abandoned the anti-war stance in favor of gung-ho, jingoistic cheerleading of any and all military escapades.

The New World Order is brute force, but in our hyper-connected world they need to create the appearance of public support in order to advance the military industrial colonization of the world. It cannot do this without the public support and advocacy of at least some segment of the proletariat.

If you’re always on board for the expansion of international conflict, taking cues from mainstream media in this regard, and demanding action against all of our perceived enemies, you are aiding and abetting the New World Order.

3.) You Direct Your Anger and Frustration Towards Anyone but Those at the Very Top of the Pyramid

Zero doubt there are a million problems plaguing our complex world today, and it can be comforting to blame someone whom you can look in the eye, someone who is unprotected by the wealth and security afforded by the oligarchy. Emotional reactions to the stresses in our modern world are to be expected, but without knowledge of the contemporary power structures pulling the big strings, those reactions can be sorely misdirected onto lesser players and other pawns.

The truth is out there. At the root, a geo-political financial elite is conquering the world through manipulation of currencies, the imposition of astronomically insurmountable levels of public and private debt, and full spectrum military dominance of uncooperative nations. This program is far above and beyond the capacity of your fellow citizen.

If you’re convinced that taking your outrage to the streets in war against your fellow countrymen is going to solve the problems of the world, you’re helping to fulfill the goals of the New World Order.

Final Thoughts

Social unrest and civil war are the final stepping-stones to a brave new authoritarian future. In order to get there, the American people must exhibit a self-motivated and determined resolve for violence against each other.

The New World Order needs blue pill takers, those people who deliberately choose ignorance in exchange for spurious peace of mind. They need useful idiots to help distract the rest of the population from the crimes of the oligarchy. They need armies of volunteer foot soldiers and pawns who will create the conditions necessary for martial law and even broader restrictions of rights and freedoms.

For the New World Order to succeed, we must ultimately demand our own slavery.

The Possible Chaos if Congress Fails to Raise Debt Ceiling by October

What the chaos looks like if Congress fails to raise debt ceiling by October

by Jeanne Sahadi @CNNMoney
August 24, 2017: 11:40 AM ET

If Congress fails to increase the debt ceiling before October, the federal government could struggle to pay nearly 25% of the country's bills for the month.

And those owed money would face increasing delays in getting paid.

That's according to a new analysis by the Bipartisan Policy Center.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin would face a host of chaotic, legally questionable, and technically difficult decisions of who to pay on time and who to put off until lawmakers act.

The reason: Without an increase or suspension of the debt limit, the Treasury Department would lack legal authority to resume borrowing. And because the government spends more than it takes in, it must borrow to make up the difference.

"Due to the unpredictability of cash flows," the bipartisan think tank said, "policymakers would need to act in advance of October if they intend to ensure that all obligations of the U.S. government are paid in full and on time."

Defaulting on any U.S. legal obligations is a treacherous prospect without real precedent. Markets likely would buck, and if the impasse isn't resolved quickly, the economy would suffer.

Absent action on the debt ceiling, the Bipartisan Policy Center calculates that Treasury would fall short by $80 billion in October, meaning it couldn't pay 23% of all its bills for that month.

That assumes that the so-called X date hits on October 2. The X date is the first day that Treasury won't have enough money on hand to pay all the bills due that day.

The exact X date is unknown, since it's not clear yet how much revenue will flow into Treasury in September. The Bipartisan Policy Center and the Congressional Budget Office have estimated it will occur between early and mid-October.

When it does, one thing is very certain. "On a day-to-day basis, handling all payments for important and popular programs (e.g., Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, defense, military active duty pay) would quickly become impossible," the report notes.

The choices facing Mnuchin would be unpalatable.

Say he chose to pay what the government owes bond holders, Social Security and Medicare recipients, the military, defense contractors and education programs for October -- that's a total of $267 billion. He still wouldn't be able to pay tax refunds, federal workers, veterans benefits, health and human services grants and other bills coming due.

It shouldn't have to come to that. Republican leaders keep promising that the debt ceiling will be raised in time. But their caucus can't agree on how to do so.

Among their disagreements is whether to pass a "clean" debt ceiling increase -- meaning no other measures are attached to the bill -- or tie any increase to spending cuts that many conservatives are calling for.

If they can't resolve their differences, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will have to lean on Democrats to get an increase or suspension of the debt ceiling across the finish line. Then, President Trump must sign the bill.

Trump tweeted about the issue Thursday morning.

"I requested that Mitch M. & Paul R tie the Debt Ceiling legislation into the popular V.A. bill (which just passed) for easy approval. They didn't do it so now we have a big deal with Dems holding them up (as usual) on Debt Ceiling approval. Could have been so easy-now a mess!"

...didn't do it so now we have a big deal with Dems holding them up (as usual) on Debt Ceiling approval. Could have been so easy-now a mess!
-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 8:25 AM - Aug 24, 2017

Never mind that attaching an increase to the Department of Veterans Affairs bill could have caused conservatives to balk and jeopardized passage.

Despite the fracas, the expectation is still that lawmakers will avert default.

Nevertheless waiting until the last minute has a cost. Past debt ceiling showdowns raised the country's borrowing costs by hundreds of millions of dollars because investors hate uncertainty. It's starting to happen again.

And just this week, the credit ratings agency Fitch said it would review the United States' sterling AAA credit rating "if the debt limit is not raised in a timely manner prior to the so-called 'X date.'"

In the wake of the 2011 debt ceiling crisis, S&P stripped the country of its AAA rating, citing what it said was a decrease in the stability of America's governance and policymaking.

El Possible Caos si el Congrés no aconsegueix elevar el sostre de la Deute cap a l'octubre

El que sembla el caos si el Congrés no aconsegueix elevar el límit del deute a l'octubre per Jeanne Sahadi@ CNNMoney 24 d'agost de 2017: 11:40 AM ET

Si el Congrés no aconsegueix augmentar el límit del deute abans d'octubre, el govern federal podria lluitar per pagar gairebé el 25% de les factures del país durant un mes. I els diners deguts s'enfrontarien a retards creixents en el pagament. Això és d'acord amb una nova anàlisi del Centro de Política Bipartidista. El secretari del Tresor, Steven Mnuchin, s'enfrontaria a una sèrie de decisions caòtiques, jurídicament qüestionables i tècnicament difícils, de qui pagar a temps i qui ha de deixar de banda fins que actuen els legisladors. La raó: sense un augment o suspensió del límit del deute, el departament del Tresor mancaria d'autoritat legal per reprendre l'endeutament. I perquè el govern gasta més del que necessita, ha de demanar prestat per compensar la diferència.

"A causa de la imprevisibilitat dels fluxos d'efectiu", va dir el grup de recerca bipartidista, "els responsables polítics haurien d'actuar abans d'octubre si pretenen assegurar que totes les obligacions del govern dels EUA es paguen íntegrament i puntualment".Defectuar qualsevol obligació legal dels Estats Units és una perspectiva traïdora sense precedents reals. Els mercats probablement aniran a frenar, i si l'impasse no es resolgui ràpidament, l'economia pateixi.L'acció absent sobre el límit del deute, el Centre de polítiques bipartidista, calcula que el Tresor es reduirà a 80.000 milions de dòlars l'octubre, el que significa que no podria pagar el 23% de tots els seus comptes durant aquest mes. Això suposa que l'anomenada data X arribarà el 2 d'octubre. La data X és el primer dia que el Tresor no tindrà prou diners a la vostra disposició per pagar totes les factures que es deuen aquest dia.

Es desconeix la data exacta de X, ja que encara no està clar quants ingressos ingressaran al Tresor al setembre. El Centro de Política Bipartidista i l'Oficina de Pressupostos del Congrés han estimat que es produiran entre principis i mitjans d'octubre. Quan ho fa, una cosa és molt certa. "De manera quotidiana, el maneig de tots els pagaments per a programes importants i populars (per exemple, la Seguretat Social, Medicare, Medicaid, defensa, pagament militar de drets actius) seria ràpidament impossible", assenyala l'informe. Les eleccions a què s'enfronta Mnuchin seria desagradable.

Diu que va optar per pagar el que el govern ha de lliurar els bons, els beneficiaris de la Seguretat Social i Medicare, els militars, els contractistes de defensa i els programes educatius d'octubre, un total de 267 mil milions de dòlars.Encara no podia pagar reemborsaments fiscals, treballadors federals, beneficis veterans, beques de serveis humans i de salut i altres comptes vençudes. No hauria d'haver d'arribar a això. Els líders republicans continuen prometent que el límit del deute es generarà amb el temps. Però la seva càtedra no pot estar d'acord en com fer-ho. Entre els seus desacords està saber si s'ha de passar un augment del sostre de deute "net", que significa que no s'adjunten cap altra mesura al projecte de llei, ni vinculen cap augment de les retallades de despesa que molts conservadors demanen.


Si no poden resoldre les seves diferències, el portaveu de la Cambra Paul Ryan i el líder de la majoria del Senat, Mitch McConnell, hauran d'inclinar-se als demòcrates per aconseguir un augment o suspensió del sostre del deute en la línia de meta. Després, el president Trump ha de signar la factura. Trump va tuitejar sobre el tema el dijous al matí. "Vaig demanar que Mitch M. & Paul R vinculés la legislació del límit de deutes amb la factura popular de VA (que acaba de passar) per a una aprovació fàcil. No ho van fer, ara tenim un gran problema amb els Dems que els sostenen (com de costum ) Sobre l'aprovació del sostre de la deute. Podria haver estat tan fàcil, ara un embolic! "

... no ho va fer, ara tenim un gran problema amb els Dems que els ocupen (com de costum) a l'aprovació del sostre de deute. Podria haver estat tan fàcil-ara un embolic! 
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 8:25 AM - 24 d'agost de 2017

No importa que afegir un augment a la factura del Departament d'Afers dels Veterans podria haver fet que els conservadors fessin i comprometessin el pas. Malgrat els fracassos, l'expectació continua sent que els legisladors evitaran el pagament per defecte. No obstant això, esperem fins que l'últim minut tingui un cost. Els enfrontaments del sostre del deute passat van augmentar els costos d'endeutament del país per centenars de milions de dòlars, perquè els inversors odien la incertesa. Està començant a passar de nou. I només aquesta setmana, l'agència de qualificació creditícia Fitch va dir que revisaria la qualificació creditícia AAA esterlina dels Estats Units "si el límit del deute no s'augmenta en forma oportuna abans de l'anomenada" data X "." A la continuació de La crisi del sostre del deute de 2011, S & P es va despullar


El país de la seva qualificació AAA, citant el que va dir va ser una disminució de l'estabilitat de la governança i la formulació de polítiques nord-americanes

El poder de crear con las manos

•  22 Agosto, 2017 

Nuestras manos y su poder creador

Las manos son sin duda, una herramienta divina que nos otorgó natura en su inmensa sabiduría

Pocas veces nos detenemos a pensar sobre el poder creador de nuestras manos. Estamos tan acostumbrados a su uso y es tan cotidiana la forma en que nos permiten realizar nuestras actividades, que literalmente las olvidamos y no reconocemos su enorme valor.

Y es que, las manos, son sin duda herramientas de creación para  nuestros cuerpos físico, mental y emocional. Los invito a hacer  un análisis de lo afortunados que somos al tenerlas y a practicar algunos ejercicios de creación, que nos acercan a la espiritualidad mediante el uso de nuestras fabulosas manos.

Y que nos ayudarán a ser más conscientes de sus asombrosas capacidades.

La creación a través de las manos como terapia ocupacional

Las manualidades nos sirven para distraer la mente de problemas y situaciones difíciles

La vida moderna nos aleja con mucha frecuencia de las oportunidades de esparcimiento y recreación que tanto merecemos. Por ello la importancia de dedicarle tiempo a actividades manuales, destinadas a relajar la mente y a olvidarnos de los problemas diarios. A veces, sólo necesitamos darnos la oportunidad de recrearnos en labores simples y divertidas para aclarar la mente. Y poder retomar el control de las situaciones conflictivas con renovadas fuerzas y una visión más objetiva.

Las manos nos sirven para ello también. Decídete a crear con tus manos. Una magnífica terapia ocupacional es la elaboración de piezas de arcilla o cerámica. Puedes involucrarte en el proceso de elaboración desde su inicio en el torno, posteriormente el horneado y grabado. O simplemente en la etapa de pintura y barniz. Incluso puedes elaborar piezas hermosas para decorar ese espacio de tu hogar que tanto disfrutas. O una bella taza para beber tu café de cada mañana.

Mediante el uso de nuestras manos, podemos concretar la hechura de artículos para las personas que amamos o para nosotros mismos

El uso de nuestras manos puede ser muy gratificante. Nos sentiremos invadidos de una alegría especial al sabernos útiles y capaces de crear.

Otra fantástica opción es la creación de prendas tejidas. Y en la actualidad hay mil formas de hacerlo. Desde el uso de tradicionales agujas o ganchillos, hasta sólo con tus manos. No hace mucho descubrí una serie de tutoriales en la red, que indican paso a paso lo simple que es tejer una bufanda o una chalina, utilizando sólo las manos y una madeja de estambre.

Además, tejer es una actividad que puedes realizar en grupo o en familia y que puedes disfrutar mucho mientras aprendes de una abuela o un amigo. O mientras tú le enseñas a tejer a alguien más. La finalidad no es la prenda. La idea es que explores las capacidades creadoras de tus manos y que ello sirva de pretexto para la convivencia con quienes te rodean.

Las manos son tan sorprendentes que pueden desarrollar habilidades complejas, hasta llegar a dominar la técnica

En mis épocas de colegio, mi maestra de costura me decía que la práctica de una habilidad, puede convertirte en experto. Pero sólo el amor que le imprimes a aquello que hagas, te convertirá en un artista.

Y es verdad. Muy probablemente en tu casa o en casa de tus padres, está guardada esa vieja máquina de coser que lleva años en la familia. Es una gran idea que la desempolvaras y decidieras darle un uso práctico.

A veces, dejamos de usar algunas prendas de nuestro guardarropa, porque se dañó la cremallera o se deshizo la vastilla. Y llevarlas al sastre cuesta dinero. Otra gran ventaja de aprovechar el poder creador de las manos, es arreglar esas prendas o confeccionar alguna que te haga falta en casa, como un mantel o las cortinas de tu habitación. En realidad, no importa qué hagas. Reiteramos que usar nuestras manos, bajo la conciencia de su capacidad creadora, le dará a toda tu vida un sentido diferente y hermoso.

El concepto “hágalo usted mismo”, representa grandes satisfactores personales.

A partir de la década de los años 60’s, se puso muy de moda el concepto “hágalo usted mismo”. Y hoy en día sigue siendo tan utilizado, que incluso en la gran mayoría de los países europeos y americanos, existen tiendas departamentales especializadas.

Todas ellas enfocadas a poner a nuestro alcance herramientas y materiales para realizar trabajos de carpintería, pintura, electricidad, construcción y jardinería.

A todos nos ha sucedido, padecer una gran tristeza cuando un mueble favorito, que nos fue heredado, se estropea. O tenemos que enfrentar la idea de desecharlo o asumir los elevados costos de enviarlo a reparar con un especialista. Sin embargo, con la disponibilidad actual de materiales, herramentales y cursos, lo podemos hacer por nuestra cuenta. Y no se trata de ahorrarnos el precio de la reparación. La idea es que el poder creador de tus manos, sea el que le de vida nueva a ese querido objeto. Una vez que lo hayas reparado por ti mismo, habrá elevado aún más su valor sentimental y lo disfrutarás con gozo y alegría. También puedes ocupar tus manos para renovar tu casa, lo que te hará involucrarte aún más con tu hogar.

Usando nuestras manos, podemos crear cosas asombrosas. Como alimentos nutritivos y deliciosos para compartir en familia

Vivimos en un mundo que se mueve tan deprisa, que incluso asuntos tan cotidianos y simples como cuidar y disfrutar de nuestra dieta, se convierten en verdaderos retos de logística.

Comemos lo que sea y dónde sea, sólo porque sabemos que necesitamos alimentarnos para tener fuerzas y desarrollar nuestras labores. Pero lamentablemente se está perdiendo el gusto y el cuidado que debemos tener por alimentarnos de forma adecuada.

Siempre que tengas tiempo, procura preparar tú mismo tus alimentos. Y si dispones del tiempo suficiente, date permiso de crear con tus manos, un platillo elaborado, sólo por el gusto de hacerlo. Así podrás cuidar a detalle la calidad de los ingredientes y el modo de preparación. Es otro pretexto perfecto para compartir con tu familia. Ya sea que los involucres en el proceso de creación o que les invites a degustar tus creaciones. Una vez más, el objetivo es reconocer las habilidades de tus manos y agradecer la magia de los resultados.

Las manos son herramientas de amor

Nuestras manos no sólo sirven para crear objetos o reparar cosas o complacer a quienes amamos. Con ellas también podemos regalar ayuda y tiempo de calidad a quienes lo necesitan.

Ahora bien, recuerda que tus manos no sólo te permiten crear artículos, preparar alimentos o reparar cosas. También las puedes enfocar en una de las formas de creación más sublimes: la ayuda a otros. Algunas personas de avanzada edad, o con algún problema de motricidad, requieren que alguien les ayude a realizar tareas tan simples como levantarse de la cama, darse una ducha, peinarse o alimentarse. Sin duda, prestarle nuestras manos a otro ser, es una maravillosa forma de crear. Estarás creando armonía y alegría en esa persona que recibe la ayuda de tus manos y, como recompensa, la vida te otorgará satisfacciones ilimitadas. Imagina lo sublime de utilizar tus manos para cubrir los requerimientos de otro ser. La luz de la creación divina que es nuestra esencia, se proyecta en casa cosa y actividad que concretan tus maravillosas manos. Su poder creador, enriquecerá tu mundo físico, mental y emocional.

If Venezuela falls, humanity falls

English
The Journey



John Pilger is a well-known Australian reporter and documentary filmmaker who received the UK Journalist of the Year award twice and two other UN Media Peace Prize awards.

Interviewed recently by TeleSur said: "the decent world must support Venezuela, now subjected to a virulent propaganda that is warfare through the media. If Venezuela falls, humanity falls. "

The Australian journalist's warning is far from disproportionate. What is at stake today in Venezuela is similar to the dilemma that humanity lived during the Spanish Civil War, or to which Latin America suffered as a result of the coup in Chile against President Salvador Allende.

In the first case, the triumph of the Franco regime opened the way to the expansion of Nazism and fascism in Europe. In the second, the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet was the turning point for the establishment of varied gorilatos and the wild expansion of neoliberalism in Latin America.

If the Venezuelan opposition allied with the United States triumphs in its attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government of Nicolás Maduro, the door will open to a new, brutally reactionary wave in the world.

The affinity of important sectors of the Venezuelan opposition with the Francoism and Pinochet is public, however much its image designers try to hide it. The two-time defeated presidential candidate by the MUD, Henrique Capriles, declared in July 2013 that "Pinochet was a Democrat in the service of the Chilean people." And Lilian Tintori, wife of Leopoldo López wrapped by the international right, justified "that Venezuelan opponents cheer Franco, it is normal: if he lived would support us like Rajoy."

Those who support this part of the Venezuelan (hegemonic) opposition unambiguously support both openly fascist forces and the interests of the United States in the region.

Without going any further, just last August 11 Donald Trump threatened to invade that nation militarily. "We have many options for Venezuela. And by the way, I will not rule out the military option.

We have many options for Venezuela. This is our neighbor. You know, we are all over the world and we have troops all over the world in places that are very, very far away. Venezuela is not far away and its people are suffering, and they are dying.

We have many options for Venezuela, including a military option if necessary, "he said.
And MUD, instead of confronting the explicit interventionist threat of the United States, not to mention Donald Trump, chose to denounce that "Venezuela has for years intervened militarily and politically for Cuba, not only affecting our sovereignty and independence, but also constituting one of The main causes of violence ". It could not be otherwise. His real bet is to a foreign war intervention.


According to Pilger, "the threat of a military invasion of Venezuela by Donald Trump is typical of US threats to the world in the past 70 years." And it's not even new. "The United States has already invaded Venezuela with subversive groups like the NED, which support a so-called 'opposition', which seeks to overthrow an elected government by force: a high crime under international law."

Interviewed also by Telesur about the bravado of the US president, linguist Noam Chomsky described Trump's statements as "shocking and dangerous." He added: "The best hope is that some of the generals around them, who presumably understand the consequences, manage to control it."

Trump's fears were preceded by the confessions of Mike Pompeo, head of the CIA. On June 20, at the Aspen Security Forum, the head of the agency said: "Every time you have such a large country, and with the economic capacity of a country like Venezuela, the United States has deep interests in ensuring that The country is as stable and democratic as possible. So we are working hard to do that ... we are very optimistic that there may be a transition in Venezuela ... I have just been in Mexico City and in Bogota, the ancestor week, talking about this precisely, trying to help them understand The things they could do to achieve a better result for their corner of the world and our corner of the world.

As the philosopher Slavoj Zizek recently recalled, the economic war that Venezuela suffers and that precedes recent threats of military invasion was designed and implemented in Washington. This was acknowledged in an interview with Fox News Lawrence Eagleburger, who was George W. Bush's secretary of state. "If at some point the economy starts to go badly," said the former official, "Chávez's popularity will begin to decline. These are the weapons we have against him, and that we should be using.

 That is, the economic tools to make the Venezuelan economy worse, so that the influence of Chavismo in the country and the region will go down ... All we can do to make the Venezuelan economy in a difficult situation It's well done; But we must do it in such a way that we do not enter into a direct confrontation against Venezuela, if we can avoid it. "

No matter how their intellectual allies pretend to present the Venezuelan opposition as modern fighters for freedom (as they did with the Nicaraguan counter or with the Taliban who fought in Afghanistan to the Soviet Union), that opposition, which admires Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet, represents, plain and simple, the interests of the United States in Venezuela.

John Pilger is right. If Venezuela falls, humanity falls.

P.S. To the memory of Jesus Aranda, exceptional journalist and magnificent companion. He always learned something from him.
