Η Vadganna τα ακούσε κανονικότατα σε πρόσφατη συναυλία της στο Βουκουρέστι, όταν υπέδειξε στα (κατά τα άλλα) συμπαθέστατα Ρομουνάκια να αντιμετωπίζουν ομοφυλόφιλους και τσιγγάνους ως ίσους. Οι ευγενικές συστάσεις της Μαντόνα μάλλον άγγιξαν ευαίσθητες χορδές μερίδας του κοινού, που δεν φάνηκε να συμμερίζεται τις φιλελεύθερες απόψεις της με αποτέλεσμα να στολίσει την τραδουδοποιέσσα με μια ωραιότατη και καθόλα δημοκρατική γιούχα. Αυτά για μην νομίζετε ότι το προνόμιο της καφρίλας κυκλοφορεί μόνο στα τιμημένα μας πάτρια εδάφη.
Και ιδού το διάρκειας 15 δευτερόλεπτων απόσπασμα από το πολυαναμένο Celebration video που κατά πάσα πιθανότητα θα πρόβληθει επίσημα στις 11 Σεπτεμβρίου. Η διαρροή του υλικού στο ιdερνετς πριν την ανακοινωθείσα ημερομηνία είναι μάλλον βέβαιη. Εμφανίζονται ο καινούριος μουστερής της miss dry and sour ονόματι Χεσούς αλλά και το πάλαι ποτέ είδωλο της dance μουσικής σκηνής Paul Oakenfold στην πλήρη του αποκαθήλωση σε ρόλο τζόβενου τεντυμπόη. Αυτό δεν είναι ο ιερέας της progressive, είναι ο Στάθης Ψάλτης λίγο πριν πέσει στον έρωτα της Καίτης Φίνου. Οι άκρως χαριτωμένες χορευτικές φιγούρες του Paul σύντομα και στο νέο βίντεο κλιπ του Πασχάλη.

Mai toti romanii (dar si multi occidentali) au auzit deja de incident, pentru cine nu, uite aici clipul (restul discursului cantaretei, aici)
Asadar, o parte din fani s-au gasit sa o fluiere. De ce? Spun unii ca “Madonna i-a jignit pe romani“. Ca a vorbit despre discriminarea din Romania. Asa sa fi fost?
Madonna s-a aratat intristata de discriminarea din Europa de Est. Atat. A spus ca toti meritam acelasi respect, indiferent de etnie sau orientare sexuala si s-a aratat intristata, nu i-a facut pe est-europeni rasisti. Iar Europa de Est inseamna Romania, Ucraina, o parte din Rusia, Bulgaria, Serbia. In acceptiunea unora, si partea de Europa Centrala care a stat sub comunism (Ungaria, Polonia, etc).
Or, daca in Romania “doar” 25% dintre rromi se declara discriminati, iar in Bulgaria 26% (intrebarea e daca inteleg toti rromii sensul cuvantului discriminare), in Cehia e vorba de 64%, in Ungaria de 62%, in Polonia de 59%.
E discriminare in “Est”? Este! Si chiar daca nu ar fi fost, fanii care au huiduit au fost fie surzi, fie nu si-au putut controla pornirile rasiste. Discriminare in Est? Ok, in Est, nu doar la noi, si-ar fi putut spune niste fani cu auzul mai dezvoltat si/sau mai rationali.
Sau poate ca e mult sa ceri ratiune la un eveniment la care pasiunea vine pe primul loc? Daca-i asa, cu atat mai mult ii apreciez pe cei care fie au strigat yeah, ca fiul lui Florin Dumitrescu, fie si-au tinut, in mod intelept, pliscul.
Olahus
PS: Chiar daca ar fi vorbit doar despre Romania, Madonna ar fi avrut dreptate sa-si arate “intristarea”. Ba chiar sa-i acuze pe unii romani ca sunt rasisti. Daca artistii si sportivii (care sunt mai credibili decat politicienii si poate, chiar decat jurnalistii in ochii maselor) nu condamna o problema sociala,atunci cine s-o faca? Iar Madonnei, daca i se pot reprosa multe, nu i se poate reprosa ca a fost vreodata rasista, si are cu atat mai mult dreptul sa condamne rasismul intr-o tara sau o regiune.
PPS: De remarcat ca si cealalta reactie: romanii sunt rasisti pentru ca au huiduit-o pe Madonna, e gresita. Eu unul am intalnit-o la o amica din Belgia, de origine rroma, dar teama mi-e ca multi occidentali s-au grabit sa generalizeze astfel. Dar daca generalizam asupra tuturor romanilor pornind de la cativa fani ai Madonnei, e ca si cum am generaliza asupra rromilor pornind de la cativa criminali, hoti sau mafioti.
Chiara Volpato writes Italian Women Rise Up, in response to Berlusconi’s fascist and misogynist Italy:
The Italian media only exacerbate this bleak reality by presenting a picture of women that is incomprehensible to the rest of Europe. Private TV channels have started to broadcast images of women who are typically lightly dressed and silent beauties serving as decoration while older, fully dressed men are running the show. (It is worth noting here that Mr. Berlusconi owns the leading private television networks.)
The impact of years of brainwashing is plain to see: recent research demonstrated that the most popular ambition among female teenagers is to become a velina (basically a showgirl). Young women and girls are consistently taught that their bodies, rather than their abilities and their knowledge, are the key to success. At the same time, the sexism portrayed on TV reinforces chauvinistic ideas among the culturally weakest parts of the population. Researchers who study female body objectification need only look to Italy to witness the sad consequences of this phenomenon.
The portrayals of women bring to mind darker moments in our country’s past. During Italy’s Fascist era in the first half of the 20th century, there was no shortage of derogatory images of people from its colonies in Africa. Women were portrayed as sexual objects and the men as barbarian enemies. In recent years, as immigrants have been flocking to Italy, these kinds of crude stereotypes have been coming back. To give just one example: The leader of the Northern League Party, Umberto Bossi, has called immigrants “bingo bongos.” These attitudes in part reflect the feelings of economic and social insecurity that have only deepened over the past decade or so. The responses to this, namely sexism and racism, are just two sides of the same coin.
No mention of the Church though – is this good or bad?
Madonna this week spoke out about wide-spread discrimination towards the Roma people. For this she was booed by a Romanian audience, and denounced on the internet – see the comments!:
“It has been brought to my attention … that there is a lot of discrimination against Romanies and Gypsies in general in Eastern Europe,” she said. “It made me feel very sad.”
A few cheered when she added: “We don’t believe in discrimination … we believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone.” But she got more boos when she mentioned discrimination against homosexuals and others.
Thousands booed and jeered her.
Please see The Roma Series for more on discrimination against the Roma in Greece.
I particularly enjoyed an interview with Fay Weldon, in which she says:
The whole argument of the feminist movement was that there was no difference between a man and a woman, but Weldon believes it is time to accept that fundamentally, biologically, there are differences. There may be plenty of women who are perfectly happy without men, but if you want children and are putting it off for practical reasons then you should perhaps wake up and smell the coffee you have just brewed for your boyfriend.
“I think we should have more teenage pregnancies, and work afterwards. If you have children late you have no energy left for sex, and then men wander off to find someone else. The definition of a good man has become ridiculous. I just think that as long as you have a sort of semi-good looking, able-bodied, intelligent man, you should have his baby.”
Fay Weldon has written a new book, Chalcot Crescent, but obviously she was interviewed for the most part about being a woman, not about the book. For typical unimaginative backlash against Weldon see here. The Telegraph then asked a selection of women to comment on Weldon’s more outlandish comments which is just as good reading. Joanna Trollope is spot on! I just hope I will still be around at 78 so I can be just as outlandish.
I love Fay Weldon’s work, and it is hard to pick a favourite, but if I was pushed then I would have to highlight Praxis, which is an absolute gem of a book.
Bryony Gordon finished the interview by stating “Feminism? I don’t know. But it’s certainly something to think about.” Which leads me nicely into my next target, as it sums up Feministing.com very nicely.
The Snip, picked up by Feministing contains the paragraphs:
I did have one question that I know wasn’t on the standard menu. “So my wife and I do a lot of BDSM, and squeezing and slapping testicles is a big part of our intimate conduct. How long until we can resume that activity?”
“BD …? I’m sorry, I don’t recognize the acronym you used …”
It was my turn to be surprised. This is New York — really, Doc? BDSM? Never heard of it? Okay. I explained.
I explained, because some day some other guy is going to be sitting in that chair. And he’s going to need to have a frank talk with this same surgeon about what he does with his penis and testicles. And he may not be as affluent or as educated, or straight or married or cis-sexual. He (or she or ze — lots of folks need to see a urologist) may be in a less privileged, more vulnerable position than I am in any number of ways. Or he may just not be as comfortable with what he does with his sex partners. Any way you slice it, I could just abstain from ball-smacking until I felt ready, but I’d rather have a straight answer from the doctor, and damnit, if he’s going to have to have an awkward conversation with some kinkster, let him do it the first time with me. I don’t bruise easily.
Anyone else get the image in their head of teenage boys boasting in the playground when reading the quote above? I am almost certain Fay Weldon would!
However, there were a couple of interesting points raised by this post:
- The doctor asking if the wife was in agreement with the procedure was completely inappropriate, just as asking a woman if her husband approved!
- Responsibility for contraception lies with both parties. Women are routinely blamed for being spongers and feckless for bringing up their children as lone parents. Hardly ever do we hear a negative word said against the fathers of these children.
Victoria Brittain writes The moral challenge of the 21st Century, commenting on the work of Nicholas Kristof among others:
The Nobel prize-winning economist Amartya Sen’s famous dictum that “No famine has ever taken place in the history of the world in a functioning democracy” can be seen as a buttress for this argument. Educated women resist ignorant dictators who impoverish their countries.
But the change in women’s lot never came as so many of us thought it would, because women were not a priority, neither in their own societies, nor in ours. However there are now changes in the most unlikely places, invisible to most outsiders, and the New York Times has given us a glimpse of what is there to build on.
In recent years, Kristof has been the most consistent, hard-hitting reporter on the worst of women’s fates in societies where they are considered second-class citizens – and on the women who have fought back. Sex trafficking, brothels full of homesick young girls, mass rape, needless deaths in childbirth, forced marriage and untreated fistula are among the subjects he has forced onto his paper’s op-ed pageand filled pages of blog posts with.
Germaine Greer writes Caster Semenya sex row: What makes a woman? This article has been denounced all over the blogosphere, and one of the more balanced ones can be found on The F-Word.
Greer also writes about the demise of Big Brother, including a lovely tribute to Jade Goody:
Jade Goody was both spontaneous and simple, in the best sense of the word. Big Brother taught us to sneer and jeer at her and finally to condemn her utterly. Even so, Jade’s career was the ultimate Big Brother success story. She was the one person who was famous for being famous. Then reality intervened. In Jade’s handling of her grim fate and the elegant and courageous manner of her dying, it became clear that she really was a star. She died in earnest.
I did watch the 2002 show in which Jade Goody was a contestant, and she gave me many laughs and much enjoyment, along with her housemates. I didn’t see the celebrity version on which she was derided.
But I did see the show in 2006 which showed George Galloway and Michael Barrymore bullying Jodie Marsh without mercy – funny how that wasn’t a matter for public distress! (Just in case you don’t click onto the Barrymore link above – then please do, as it is an article about the campaign that Terry Lubbock is forced to continue to get justice for the 2002 murder of his son in the house of Barrymore)
I also watched the show in 2005 when Greer was a contestant, and spent much of it wondering where the Greer who wrote The Female Eunuch had gone?
NB – I have just seen Fay Weldon’s This Much I Know published today and I feel less then underwhelmed that she knows this:
No amount of sex education is going to help a young person not get pregnant. It just makes them feel even more sexy. And now girls have the state for fathers. Why are we surprised?
The state for fathers?!?!? A novel twist on the nanny state I suppose. I heard an interview with Ms. Dynamite years ago on Woman’s Hour where she emphatically explained why no father was a much better option than a bad father.

BUCHAREST, Romania – At first, fans politely applauded the Roma performers sharing a stage with Madonna. Then the pop star condemned widespread discrimination against Roma, or Gypsies — and the cheers gave way to jeers.
The sharp mood change that swept the crowd of 60,000, who had packed a park for Wednesday night’s concert, underscores how prejudice against Gypsies remains deeply entrenched across Eastern Europe.
Despite long-standing efforts to stamp out rampant bias, human rights advocates say Roma probably suffer more humiliation and endure more discrimination than any other people group on the continent.
Sometimes, it can be deadly: In neighboring Hungary, six Roma have been killed and several wounded in a recent series of apparently racially motivated attacks targeting small countryside villages predominantly settled by Gypsies.
“There is generally widespread resentment against Gypsies in Eastern Europe. They have historically been the underdog,” Radu Motoc, an official with the Soros Foundation Romania, said Thursday.
Roma, or Gypsies, are a nomadic ethnic group believed to have their roots in the Indian subcontinent. They live mostly in southern and eastern Europe, but hundreds of thousands have migrated west over the past few decades in search of jobs and better living conditions.
Romania has the largest number of Roma in the region. Some say the population could be as high as 2 million, although official data put it at 500,000.
Until the 19th century, Romanian Gypsies were slaves, and they’ve gotten a mixed response ever since: While discrimination is widespread, many East Europeans are enthusiastic about Gypsy music and dance, which they embrace as part of the region’s cultural heritage.
That explains why the Roma musicians and a dancer who had briefly joined Madonna onstage got enthusiastic applause. And it also may explain why some in the crowd turned on Madonna when she paused during the two-hour show — a stop on her worldwide “Sticky and Sweet” tour — to touch on their plight.
“It has been brought to my attention … that there is a lot of discrimination against Romanies and Gypsies in general in Eastern Europe,” she said. “It made me feel very sad.”
Thousands booed and jeered her.
A few cheered when she added: “We don’t believe in discrimination … we believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone.” But she got more boos when she mentioned discrimination against homosexuals and others.
“I jeered her because it seemed false what she was telling us. What business does she have telling us these things?” said Ionut Dinu, 23.
Madonna did not react and carried on with her concert, held near the hulking palace of the late communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.
Her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, said Madonna and other had told her there were cheers as well as jeers.
“Madonna has been touring with a phenomenal troupe of Roma musicians who made her aware of the discrimination toward them in several countries so she felt compelled to make a brief statement,” Rosenberg said in an e-mail. “She will not be issuing a further statement.”
One Roma musician said the attitude toward Gypsies is contradictory.
“Romanians watch Gypsy soap operas, they like Gypsy music and go to Gypsy concerts,” said Damian Draghici, a Grammy Award-winner who has performed with James Brown and Joe Cocker.
“But there has been a wave of aggression against Roma people in Italy, Hungary and Romania, which shows me something is not OK,” he told the AP in an interview. “The politicians have to do something about it. People have to be educated not to be prejudiced. All people are equal, and that is the message politicians must give.”
Nearly one in two of Europe’s estimated 12 million Roma claimed to have suffered an act of discrimination over the past 12 months, according to a recent report by the Vienna-based EU Fundamental Rights Agency. The group says Roma face “overt discrimination” in housing, health care and education.
Many do not have official identification, which means they cannot get social benefits, are undereducated and struggle to find decent jobs.
Roma children are more likely to drop out of school than their peers from other ethnic groups. Many Romanians label Gypsies as thieves, and many are outraged by those who beg or commit petty crimes in Western Europe, believing they spoil Romania’s image abroad.
In May 2007, Romanian President Traian Basescu was heard to call a Romanian journalist a “stinky Gypsy” during a conversation with his wife. Romania’s anti-discrimination board criticized Basescu, who later apologized.
Human rights activists say the attacks in Hungary, which began in July 2008, may be tied to that country’s economic crisis and the rising popularity of far-right vigilantes angered by a rash of petty thefts and other so-called “Gypsy crime.” Last week, police arrested four suspects in a nightclub in the eastern city of Debrecen.
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia also have been criticized for widespread bias against Roma.
Madonna’s outrage touched a nerve in Romania, but it seems doubtful it will change anything, said the Soros Foundation’s Motoc.
“Madonna is a pop star. She is not an expert on interethnic relations,” he said.
BUCAREST, Rumania, ago. 27, 2009.- Miles de admiradores abuchearon a Madonna luego que la estrella pop se manifestara en contra de la discriminación de gitanos en la Europa Oriental durante un concierto en Rumania.
Madonna hizo una pausa durante su espectáculo de dos horas para decir que los gitanos, también conocidos como Roma, eran discriminados en el este de Europa y que eso la “entristecía” porque nadie debe ser discriminado.
Miles de los presentes entre una multitud de 60.000 personas la abuchearon. La cantante no reaccionó.
Varios músicos Roma y un bailarín Roma participaron en el concierto, a pocos metros del enorme palacio del ex dictador comunista Nicolae Ceausescu, y el público aplaudió sus actuaciones.
Según datos oficiales, unos 500.000 Roma habitan Rumania, pero la cifra real podría ascender a 2 millones. Los gitanos enfrentan prejuicios y discriminación en Rumania y otros países de la Europa Oriental.
Acum am aflat cine a fost organizatorul: Emagic. Ei, astia mi se par niste baieti de viitor, mai ales comparati cu alte firme de profil din .ro (read: Evets, cu al lor dezastruos Rolling Stones). De ce zic asta? Pentru ca mi se pare ca evolueaza si invata din greseli. Primul Depeche Mode a avut o gramada de hibe, cea mai trista fiind accesul la bauturi. Era al naibii de cald si era cat pe ce sa crap de sete, iar cand am reusit sa ajung in fata la coada kilometrica, n-am avut ce sa fac decat sa accept o sticla de apa calda. Concertul Metallica de anul trecut a fost insa o imbunatatire consistenta. Dar cea ma mare reusit a lor pana acum e conturarea primului festival adevarat din Bucuresti, B’estFest. Anul trecut n-am ajuns decat intr-o singura zi, dar mi s-a parut foarte OK. Anul asta n-am fost deloc, poate si pentru ca nu m-a atras foarte tare nici o trupa (la Killers nu puteam merge din alte cauze), dar am auzit lucruri bune despre organizare. Asa ca per total ma bucur ca organizatorii de concerte din Romania incep sa se maturizeze si sa creasca calitatea spectacolelor. Daca B’estfest-ul ar gasi o locatie mai convenabila ar putea sa o ia timid pe urmale festivalelor mari din Europa.
sunt artisti la care nu as fi mers niciodata la concert – cum ar fi Michael Jackson. cand a fost in romania aveam chiar un bilet, castigat de colegul de banca la un concurs national de fizica. nici macar nu banuiam ca ar putea exista si unii care sa-si taie o mana ca sa intre in posesia biletului, imi inchipuiam ca inconstientul care ar vrea sa-l vanda ar fi linsat de oameni, asa ca in zia concertului l-am aruncat la cos. aici
sunt artisti pe care nici nu prea ii ascult, dar as fi curios sa-i vad – cum este cazul Madonnei care, in mod paradoxal, imi place mai putin decat rapsoatul megastarul. totusi, i-am acordat (poate) nemeritat de mult timp si i-am vazut pe video sau dvd toate concertele, clipurile, am ascultat toate albumele, doar ca sa stiu sigur ca am “aprofundat-o bine”. nu am cum sa o consider “cantareata”, pentru ca nu are voce. este exemplificarea extrema a ceea ce se numeste “show cu multe beculete, topaiala si buci”. nu ma atrage deloc ca femeie, poate e in neregula ceva din personalitatea ei tematoare de imbatranire sau din felul in care incearca sa para o fetita zglobie fie o diva sexy intr-un corp de amazoana culturista. totusi de fiecare data cand ascult “Dear Jesse” ma simt cuprins de cele mai placute stari. fara nicio legatura una cu alta, pot sa mai pomenesc printre preferatele mele “You Push Me”, “Hanky Panky” si cateva balade de pe “Music”, un album plin de surprize mascate de superficiala piesa titlu.
concertul? nu cred ca pot sa pretind ca am fost la concert cu madonna, de vreme ce am avut bilet in zona B, de unde madonna se vedea cam cat un puric saltaret. nicio problema, am urmarit-o zbantuindu-se pe ecranul din dreapta scenei, la care din cand in cand mai dadeau rateuri ledurile. nu a fost “concert” deci, ci “vizionare”
organizarea a avut grija ca totul sa fie conceput in asa fel incat sa ne beleasca de bani cat mai bine, fara niciun efort din partea lor. in sensul ca daca voiai sa cumperi o bere, trebuia sa stai la doua cozi (sau 3, daca nu ghiceai cumva din start cu ajutorul unui simt special ca berea nu se cumpara cu bani, ci cu tichete valorice de la niste cascarabete galbene – alta coada) daca voiai sa mananci si un hotdog, se mai adauga o coada. in plus, foarte important este sa stii sa-ti planifici actiunile: sa te decizi daca ti-e mai mult foame sau mai mult sete si cum ai vrea sa te delectezi: cu o bere prosapata si un hotdog racit sau cu un hotdog cald si o bere rasuflata? ca sa vina randul tau, estimez un timp cuprins intre 25 de minute si 45 (daca esti visator si se baga altii in fata ta). nu uita de coada cea mai infernala, de la toaletele ecologice. eu unul te-as sfatui in astfel de ocazii sa faci pipi in paharele de plastic de la suc sau bere. reusesti tu cumva sa te palmezi, daca esti disperat. aici nu s-a gandit nimeni ca vanzarea ar fi mai rapisa cu doze/peturi/sticle ci doar ca e mai profitabil la dozator, chiar daca jetul e atat de lesinat incat un om cu nivel mediu de insetare reuseste in timp real sa bea paharele in ritm mai rapid decat le umplu ei. asta in conditiile in care ignoram norul de colb uscacois care pluteste in permanenta, ridicat de forfoteala. chiar in fata mea, berea s-a terminat asa am trecut la planul B instantaneu: zup. adica 7 up. sevanap. multumesc zen-ului pentru pacea mea interioara, altfel s-ar fi lasat cu urlete si varsare de sange. am incercat sa ignor toate aceste aspecte neplacute care te fac sa te simti ca un fraier la cheremul regulilor impuse de organizatori, ca sa fii belit mai eficient de banuti, si nu ca sa ti se ofere ceva anume, cum ar fi un cadru de calitate.
madonna si-a dovedit inca o data valoarea incontestabila de diva pop, incantand miile de fani cu celebrele slagare “Isla Bonita”, “Holiday”, “Express Yourself”… iar eu m-am plictisit ingrozitor, cel putin de un moment dat inspre tot finalul. dupa cum spuneam mai devreme, poate ca sunt mai cunoscator decat multi care se declara “fani impatimiti”, chiar am mancat pe paine TOT ce a scos pe piata madonna. concertul asta din parcul izvor, parca nu a avut sare si piper. gusturile personale nu mi-au fost flatatate cu nicuna dintre preferintele atat de selecte si secrete, iar unda generala a serii a fost “TECHNO”. chiar nu stiam ca pana si madonna este un artist neintelees daca ti-ai uitat acasa pastilele, timbrele si iarba, pur si simplu, prea mult rave – si inca din cel mai rudimentar, fara nici un strop din acea multicolora peltea de emotii a epocii colaborarii cu Mirways, pe albumul Music. iat-o iarasi in mana cu o chitara neamplificata la care zdrangane pozand smecher desi stim cu totii ca ceea ce se aude nu e chitara. ambitie de a aparea si in ipostaza asta PUNK ROCK sau aluzie ironica, asa cum au facut si ai nostri suie paparude intr-un clip de-al lor dandu-si seama ca oricat de cool suna termenul “electro”, vizual tot mai bine da o chitara decat o claviatura.
dar… pe la mijlocul cantarii a avut proasta idee sa tina un speech. asa ca toti cei din lumea civilizata si rafinata, ne-a servit pe tava un moft tipic american, care dovedeste superficialitatea si ipocrizia intregii lor culturi “politically correctness”. cuvintele ei au fost ceva cam de genul “am auzit eu ca voi aici in europa de est nu prea sunteti toleranti cu minoritatile rrome, adica tiganii. stop discriminarii rasiale! nu e bine sa fiti rasisti, suntem cu totii egali!” (probabil asta e motivul pentru care s-a apropiat de public exact pana la distanta la care sa nu poata fi atinsa, nici un milimetru in plus). o sfatuiesc pe madonna sa adopte cu totul satrele care sunt aciuate pe aici, tiganii care ocupa abuziv imobile pe care nu le intretin, sau ciorditotii de buzunare, sa-i duca la ea acasa si sa-i trateze ca pe egali. suntem trasi de urechi de parca noi am cacat pe cur aceasta rasa si acum nu o tratam cu respectul cuvenit. pe de alta parte, o natie prin excelenta nomada a ajuns sa fie vazuta ca simbol romanesc, doar pentru ca in lungul lor drum, au poposit si pe aici. pur si simplu au devenit ce le-am permis noi sa devina, adaptandu-se mai bine decat noi la realitatea noastra. nu pot sa-mi imaginez ce isi inchipuie unii sclifositi ca ar putea fi “rasismul” din partea noastra, cata vreme noi suntem cei asaltati de tuciurii care ne citesc ca in palma si ne fac fara regret. care rasism? care asupreala? cateodata am senzatia ca suntem noi cei la cheremul lor, instruiti si calauziti de un abil informator care le da de stire in intreaga tiganie care e pontul zilei. cine poate sa aiba incredere in aceste ciori care ne dau tarcoale, tigani borati …da, asta este rasism. si preconceptie. pranoia.
Hmmm… no “American Life,” after all. We get some soundtrack videso (surprisingly- but no “Playground”), but some notale omissions like “Oh Father” and “Bad Girl.” Plus, “Nothing Really Matters.”

Cristina Bazavan tökkkéletesen leírta azt, amiről a tegnap esti Pro TV-s hiradó óta beszélünk a kollégákkal…
“Madonna ne arata cum suntem ca natie. (…) Suntem complexati de succesul femeii asteia, ii aducem osanale intrecindu-ne in superlative si ne plecam capul, asezindu-ne in genunchi.
In niciun alt oras unde a concertat Madonna pina acum in acest turneu, televiziunile n-au fct breaking news, elicopterele n-au urmarit din inalturi masinile trupei ei aflate in trafic, iar viceprimarii nu s-au prezentat la stiri ca sa vbsca despre cintareata “ e o mare diva nu ati auzit ce cuvinte la superlative s-au rostit in ultimele zile?!”
Madonna este adepta culturii (cult , secta ) Kabbalah de foarte multi ani si o mare parte din castigurile ei ajung la aceasta organizatie, din care fac parte multe staruri.
Kabbalah este o secta in care au intrat mai multe vedete din toata lumea. Madonna este poate cea mai cunoscuta adapta.
Si daca credeati ca aceasta secta este activa doar in Hoolywood si Londra, va inselati: este si in Romania, chiar in capitala noastra aglomerata, Bucuresti, conform site-ului oficial al organizatiei.
`Zohar` este cartea care te invata sa te conectezi cu Lumina, si este de fapt o interpretare a Bibliei, structurata ca o conversatie intre un grup de prieteni, studenti si invatati spirituali.
De-a lungul istoriei mai multi adepti ai Kabbalah au fost evrei, insa au fost si multi adeptii de alte religii – o personalitate a istoriei a fost Isaac Newton. Secta a fost creata insa mult mai devreme, fondatorii sai fiind Rav Isaac Luria in secolul XVI si Rav Shimon Bar Yochai, cel care au descoperit Zoharul acum 2000 de ani.
Simbolul-accesoriu al sectei, o bratara rosie, este purtata de Madonna, Billie Piper, Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham si mai nou Sir Mick Jagger de la Rolling Stones. Se spune ca bratara are puteri de protectie impotriva fortelor rau-voitoare.
Adeptii devotati organizatiei fara scopuri comerciale sunt de asemenea sfatuiti sa bea apa sfintita vanduta cu 20 de lei sticla.
Interesul vesnic tanarului Jagger (de 64 de ani) pentru partea spirituala a vietii de apoi a crescut de cand a cunoscut-o pe fostul model si actual designer L”Wren Scott.
Anul trecut, in timpul turneului sau din America de Sud, cantaretul nu a pierdut ocazia de a-si `curata` aura intr-o ceremonie cu fum facuta de un saman nativ.
Fosta sa sotie a recunoscut public ca a intrat in secta imediat ce s-a despartit de solistul Rollig Stones.
Kabbalah este o doctrina mistica de interpretare , o traditie esoterica , este stiinta secreta a magilor antici si moderni…..dar in primul rand este explicatia mai ales prin analogie a macrocosmosului(Universul) si microcosmosul(omul)…Kabbalah detine cheia marii enigma a cretiei….iar cunoasterea si practicarea stiintei cifrelor este puntea de legatura energetico-informationala intre Macrocosmos si Microcosmos….
Universalitatea kabbalei este dovedita in primul rand prin suita de idei care se regasesc si in celeleate stiinte ale vietii…De exemplu idea Unitatii care se regaseste in alchimie (unitatea materiei) , filozofia ermetica(un singur dumnezeu)…
Din aceasta unitate Kabbalah face sa derive Binarul , Tertiarul, Cuaternarul..etc…Ca si principii universice nascute din aceeasi sursa, principii ce pot fi vazute ca si forte de sustinere a intregului concept Dumnezeiesc care exista si isi sustin existent prin miscarea lor in campurile energetico-informationale ale Creatiei…Surprinderea si intelegerea miscarii acestor principii(cifre) prin oceanul infinit al creatiei este de fapt armonizarea si sincronizarea cu mintea unitara (a luiDumnezeu)…De aici putem trece la un alt nivel de intelegere si simtire a vietii si a matematicii universale care detine secretul evolutiei si al perfectiunii.
De asemenea, in kabbalah exista idea Fluidului subtil sau a vidului, sursa de energie infinita a creatiei….
Acest fluid este unul din elementele kabbalei alaturi de puterea creatoare a cuvantului(frecventa de manifestare). “Cuvantul nu exprima ideea, el a creat-o”….
Astfel, Puterea cuvantului,Puterea Fluidului, care leaga impreuna tot ceea ce exista printr-un lant subtil, si Puterea Cifrei sint estenta Kabbalei si structura ei. Exista un raport armonios intre Univers, Materie si cifre.
Trebuie insa sa intelegem ca aceste cifre arabe nu fac altceva decat sa mijloceasca intelesul unor principii/forte mult mai subtile dar pe care nu le putem inca intelege si constientiza.
1-Kether – FIINTA -Reprezinta sursa ,Divinitatea care contine Totul si din care decurge Totul. Forta lui 1 este forta indivizibila care este pretutindeni si necesara intr-un mod absolut, deoarece nu exista principiu in care sa nu se regaseasca Unitatea…1 este principiul impulsului, al inceputului si al sfarsitului, orice ia nastere din 1 se reintoarce in 1… Intelegerea si integrarea principiului unitar constituie ultimul pas in evolutia si miscarea prin labirintul Creatiei. Odata cu integrarea principiului unitar fiinta atinge perfectiunea alchimica interioara si ajunge la transmutare/transformare. Acela este momentul de explozie al metamorfozei interioare prin care fiinta launtrica ajunge la puritatea absoluta … FIINTA
2-Chokmah- UNIUNEA-Reprezinta nasterea dualitatii si a luptei …extrapolarea unitatii …2 este forta actiunii si este reprezentata de 2 momente ,actiuni sau evenimente care se ciocnesc pentru a crea miscarea. Unirea a 2 forte este impactul, explozia ,evenimentul care animeaza calmul si staticul principiu unitar .2 reprezinta de asemnea baza mintii umane care este constituita mereu din impletirea ratiunii cu intuitia sau mentalului cu emotionalul. El este imaginea din oglinda sau reflectarea asupra interiorului, poarta catre “celalata realitate” , catre nivelul imediat superior. Este celalat tu privit prin ochi tai si tu esti celalat el privit prin ochi lui, iar impactul antagonic este estenta pura/fiinta perfecta/echilibrul suprem.
3-Binah-GENERAREA -reprezinta estenta desfasurata a unitatii, 3 deriva din 1 dar 1 il contine pe 3 pana la cea mai adanca structura. 3 este forta iesita din vid care intra intr-o matrice de manifestare si experimentare a principiului dual. 3 este de fapt crearea unui pattern, el este mediul de dezvoltare al “atributului”/caracteristicii/proprietatii . El este fiul iesit din vidul creatiei , dar si vibratia care strabate si anima forta lui unu si forta lui doi intr-o miscare de impletire care da viata unei forme geometrice hiperspatiale ce se misca prin matrice implementand in ea “energia de forma” a triunghiului hiperspatial.
Primele 3 forte reprezinta Trinitatea creatoare (unitate, dualitate, lumina/vibratie) si formeaza prima terta.
A 2-a terta
4-Chesed –LEGEA-este principiul de “schela” sau sustinere , fundatia intregului Univers. El este cel ce implementeaza si mentine informatia in fiecare forma iesita din vidul suprem….4 reprezinta forta informationala a fiecarei manifestari …este partea logica si exacta a matricei creationale . De aici s-au format si cele 4 puncte cardinale, cele 4 elemente . 4 are o miscare continua care penetreaza orice forma pana la cea mai adanca structura , ii impune ordine si miscare bazata pe patternuri-sincronicitati.
5-Geburach-STIINTA-Este forta care canalizeaza prelevarea informationala a structurilor care experimenteaza si care se misca prin diferite matrice . 5 face posibila evolutia si permite fluxului energetico-informational sa curga prin formele hiperspatiale si sa rupa bariera de intelegere limitata. Forta lui 5 este prezenta mereu, invaluind asemenea unu cocon de lumina fiecare structura energetic a vie care se misca prin timp-spatiu si dincolo de el.
6-Tiphereth-PROGRES-reprezinta forma perfecta care este imaginea idealului. 6 arata calea iar forta lui 6 este cea care animeaza scopul si care tine treaza in fiecare idea de perfectionare. El este energia care ne arata incotro ne indreptam si care trensforma miscarea structurilor dintr-un haotica intr-una controlata si personalizata patternului de dezvoltare autoimpus.
A-3a terta
7-Netzah-ADEVARUL –este cifra perfecta a matematicii mistice , si de asemenea este flacara Adevarului suprem care ramane nealterata indiferent de mediu de incubatie si de influenete. Este acea parte a fiecarei structure energetic vii care pastreaza puritatea absoluta a divinitatii complete. 7 este scanteia divina intima fiecarei entitati si nu numai, ea este forta care combate manipularea structurilor si care arata tot timpul aceeasi directive, si anume starea de beatitudine si perfectiune absoluta. 7 se misca mereu in sensul pe care il indica Adevarul launtric.
8-Hod-FATALITATE/SINCRONICITATE –dublul cuaternar este o forta liant care impune o anumia directie miscarilor prin timp-spatiu. El este destinul sau sincronizarea perfecta a universului. 8 leaga evenimentele intre ele astfel incat Intreagul sa isi mentina forma compacta de Tot Unitar si fluent. 8 este sincronicitatea interioara nealterata .
9-Yesod-CUNOASTERE-este forta care implanteaza noi structuri in diferitele matrice. 9 forteaza la evolutie si cunoastere totala. El reprezinta circuitul energetico-informational prezent peste tot si in ori si ce structura.Astfel se vor remarca in Mitologie 9 muze –Clio, Melpomene, Talia, Euterpe, Erato, Terpsihora, Urania, Polimnia, Caliope. 9 este de asemenea avatarul evoulutiei si a transcenderii ierarhice prin cunostere si putere, el este corelat cu cele 9 ceruri ale crestinilor…9 fiind cea mai inalta treapta in ierarhia ingerilor dar si cea a demonilor.
10-Malkuth-nu are atribute, este forta ce actioneaza dincolo de timp-spatiu, transcende orice manifestare subiectiva si trece dincolo de fatalitate/sincronicitate. In kabbalah, 10 este cifra perfecta . Este decada studiata sub numele de sephirot, pluralul feminine al lui sephora sau sepher care inseamna cifra. Ceea ce indica perfectiunea suverana a fortelor.
