LAGO EN EL CRÁTER

Entre el bien y el mal hubo una guerra.

Decidimos que el cuerpo fuese el bien.

Eso hizo que el mal fuese la muerte,

que el alma se volviera

completamente en contra de la muerte.

Como un soldado que desea

servir a un gran señor, el alma

desea cerrar filas con el cuerpo.

Se puso en contra de la oscuridad,

en contra de las formas de la muerte

que reconocía.

De dónde viene la voz

que dice: y si la guerra

fuese el mal, que dice

y si fue el cuerpo el que nos hizo esto

nos hizo tener miedo del amor.

Louise Glück, de “Averno”

Traducción de Abraham Gragera López y Ruth Miguel Franco

"¿Por qué me odias, mamá?"

Esta vez, traigo una reseña sobre otra obra cinematográfica, evitando profundizar en la narración de las escenas. Prometo enfocarme en las ideas que la película Pearl (2022) me ha traído después de verla apenas una vez y el texto, difícilmente, seguirá una línea de tiempo coherente para que ustedes puedan formar su propia opinión.

La obra está ambientada en algún lugar rural de los Estados Unidos de América durante 1918, en el último año de la I Guerra Mundial. Al igual que en el cartel de la película, las primeras escenas ocurren bajo un régimen de estricto secreto. Pearl, la protagonista, aprovecha la soledad y la falta de supervisión para explorar sus fantasías actorales que comienzan a parecer cada vez más perversas.

Ruth, su madre, guarda ciertas semejanzas con el personaje bíblico. Ambas son migrantes, ambas deciden asumir otra identidad, y particularmente, el personaje permanece junto a su familia a pesar de la miseria que sobrevino con la vejez y la enfermedad de su marido. Ella se convierte entonces en metáfora de compañía femenina y soporte. Su relación con Pearl recuerda al autoritarismo del nazismo a través de los diálogos en alemán, sin embargo, es una actitud contradictoria debido al ocultamiento del origen germánico. Son tiempos peligrosos y los americanos no verían con buenos ojos a una familia alemana entre ellos, lo que nos recuerda como las expresiones del fascismo europeo encuentran una forma de pasar desapercibidas en naciones democráticas.

El contexto histórico también coincide con la gripe española, que pasa a ser aprovechada por Ruth como dispositivo de control de la perversidad de su hija. Los fines de su manipulación parecen algo pragmático al principio - evitar contagios en un hogar donde vive una persona debilitada - pero a medida que la película avanza, nos damos cuenta de que hay motivaciones morales que buscan la perpetuación de lo que se asume como una vida normal, homogénea, tradicional, sin sucesos sensacionales ni impresionantes. Claro, Pearl lucha contra esta imposición hasta el fin del rodaje.

El padre de Pearl sufre una condición que lo mantiene en una silla de ruedas con parálisis total. Sus deseos y valores son expresados, defendidos por su esposa. En varias escenas, Pearl es obligada a atenderlo: lo alimenta mediocremente, lo limpia después que ella aprovecha el agua de la bañera. Ella se pregunta si hay alguien dentro de ese cuerpo enfermo en una escena sinuosa, y en cierta forma, él corporeiza la obligación moral del patriarcado. Podemos pensar que Ruth lo utiliza como dispositivo para mostrarle a la protagonista cuál es el lugar de la mujer en una sociedad, cómo su papel de sumisión y obediencia les ayudará a mantener la harmonía de la granja. El operador de cine aparece como un antídoto para alimentar los deseos de Pearl de salir de aquel pueblo y comenzar una vida moderna como estrella actoral y musical. Él promete llevarla al estrellato mientras le muestra pornografía y la seduce con su tono de voz atractivo, con la esperanza de hacer sonrojar a una joven que alimenta caimanes en el lago.

Pearl envidia a su cuñada Mitsy. Sin embargo, no la envidia porque sea más linda, culta, interesante. La envidia porque ella es normal. Todo lo que su madre impone como padrón de normalidad se expresa naturalmente en el modo de actuar y sentir de Mitsy. Ellas compiten secretamente en un concurso de talentos que la protagonista usa como bote salvavidas en medio de una serie de actos desesperados, pero cuando Pearl descubre que el jurado busca a alguien como Mitsy - rubia: genuinamente americana -, la tensión la lleva a confesar su verdadera naturaleza sin eufemismos ni disimulos. Su cuñada la escucha atemorizada, sin sospechar que ese desahogo oculta una rabia descontrolada que la protagonista acaba vomitando hacia una realidad que no puede ser moldeada.

La sonrisa de Pearl es atemorizante. Recuerda al gesto forzado en certámenes de belleza, evoca como la iconografía de mujeres en la historia del cine está asociada a una perfección que solo existe en la pantalla. Ella, si realmente desea triunfar, debe estar dispuesta a cambiar el color de su cabello, someterse a modificaciones corporales, asumir formas de vestir y andar que son propias de otras estrellas. Después de varios minutos, la dentadura expuesta nos recuerda a un animal asustado que intenta intimidar a algún depredador. Se trata entonces de un relato auténtico sobre la opresión de las verdaderas pasiones y la imposibilidad de pertenecer al entorno tradicional mientras el mundo fuera de la granja está en un cambio constante. Las lágrimas comienzan a correr por el rostro de la protagonista, recordándonos que ella no solo fue victimaria sino víctima, que su ruta de escape de la tradición falló, dejándola ante un futuro incierto en una granja llena de animales, cadáveres y ropas manchadas de sangre.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

More good news today for Bidenomics, as the gross domestic product report for the second quarter showed annualized growth of 2.4%, higher than projected, and inflation rose at a slower pace of 2.6%, down from last quarter and well below projections. Economic analyst Steven Rattner noted that as of the second quarter, “the US economy is over 6% larger than it was before COVID (after adjusting for inflation). At this point in the recovery from the Great Recession, 2011, the economy was just 0.7% larger than it had been in 2007.”

Both consumer spending and business investment, which is up 7.7% in real annualized terms, drove this growth. Business spending makes up a much smaller share of gross domestic product, but it drives future jobs and growth, and much of this growth is in manufacturing facilities. In keeping with that trend, the nation’s largest solar panel manufacturer, First Solar, announced today that it will build a fifth factory in the U.S. as alternative energy technology takes off. This commitment brings to more than $2.8 billion the amount First Solar has invested in the U.S. to ramp up production. 

While so-called Bidenomics is designed to rebuild the middle class, the administration is also trying to reestablish fair ground rules for corporate behavior. Yesterday, the Departments of Justice, Commerce, and Treasury invited American businesses to come forward voluntarily if they think they might have violated U.S. sanctions, export controls, or other national security laws by sharing sensitive technology or helping sanctioned individuals launder money. Coming forward “can provide significant mitigation of civil or criminal liability,” the note says. 

It highlighted the anti–money laundering and sanctions whistleblower program in the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN. 

While many of us were watching the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., to see if an indictment was forthcoming against former president Trump for his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, a different set of charges appeared tonight. Special counsel Jack Smith brought additional charges against Trump in connection with his retention of classified documents.

The new indictment alleges that Trump plotted to delete video from security cameras near the storage room where he had stored boxes containing classified documents, and did so after the Department of Justice subpoenaed that footage. That effort to delete the video involved a third co-conspirator, Carlos De Oliveira, who has been added to the case. 

De Oliveira is a former valet at the Trump Organization’s Mar-a-Lago property who became property manager there in January 2022. Allegedly, he told another Trump employee that “the boss” wanted the server deleted and that the conversation should stay between the two of them. 

In the Washington Post, legal columnist Ruth Marcus wrote, “The alleged conduct—yes, even after all these years of watching Trump flagrantly flout norms—is nothing short of jaw-dropping: Trump allegedly conspired with others to destroy evidence.” If the allegations hold up, “the former president is a common criminal—and an uncommonly stupid one.”

This superseding indictment reiterates the material from the original indictment, and as I reread it, it still blows my mind that Trump allegedly compromised national security documents from the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Defense, the National Security Agency, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (surveillance imagery), the National Reconnaissance Office (surveillance and maps), the Department of Energy (nuclear weapons), and the Department of State and Bureau of Intelligence and Research (diplomatic intelligence). 

It sounds like he was a one-man wrecking ball, aimed at our national security. 

The Justice Department has asked again for a protective order to protect the classified information at the heart of this case. In their request, they explained that, among other things, Trump wanted to be able to discuss that classified information with his lawyers outside a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, or SCIF, a room protected against electronic surveillance and data leakage. 

Former deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division Peter Strzok noted that there is “[n]o better demonstration of Trump’s abject lack of understanding of—and disregard for—classified info and national security. He is *asking the Court* to waive the requirements for classified info that EVERY OTHER SINGLE CLEARANCE HOLDER IN THE UNITED STATES must follow.”  

The Senate today passed the $886 billion annual defense bill by a strong bipartisan margin of 86 to 11 after refusing to load it up with all the partisan measures Republican extremists added to the House bill. Now negotiators from the House and the Senate will try to hash out a compromise measure, but the bills are so far apart it is not clear they will be able to create a bipartisan compromise. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has passed on a bipartisan basis for more than 60 years.

The extremists in the House Republican conference continue to revolt against House speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) deal with the administration to raise the debt ceiling. They insist the future cuts to which McCarthy agreed are not steep enough, and demand more. This has sparked fighting among House Republicans; Emine Yücel of Talking Points Memo suggests that McCarthy’s new willingness to consider impeaching President Biden might be an attempt to cut a deal with the extremists.  

As the Senate is controlled by Democrats, the fight among the House Republicans threatens a much larger fight between the chambers because Democratic senators will not accept the demands of the extremist Republican representatives.

The House left for its August recess today without passing 11 of the 12 appropriations bills necessary to fund the government after September, setting up the conditions for a government shutdown this fall if they cannot pass the bills and negotiate with the Senate in the short time frame they’ve left. Far-right Republicans don’t much care, apparently. Representative Bob Good (R-VA) told reporters this week, “We should not fear a government shutdown… Most of what we do up here is bad anyway.”   

Representative Katherine Clark (D-MA), the second ranking Democrat in the House, disagreed. “The Republican conference is saying they are sending us home for six weeks without funding the government? That we have one bill…out of 12 completed because extremists are holding your conference hostage, and that’s not the full story: the extremists are holding the American people hostage. We will have twelve days…when we return to fund the government, to live up to the job the American people sent us here to do. This is a reckless march to a MAGA shutdown, and for what? In pursuit of a national abortion ban? Is that what we are doing here? 

“The American people see through this. They know who is fighting for them, fighting for solutions…. Your time is coming. The American people are watching. They are going to demand accountability. We should be staying here, completing these appropriations bills, stripping out the toxic, divisive, bigoted riders that have been put on these bills and get[ting] back to work for freedom and for our economy and the American family.”

MP - Form (Nigeria) (LO2)

I asked my mate Ruth about any curiosities she has about Nigeria.

Biggest celebration in someone's life - Wedding

How's the school system split - Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, University

Nigeria was founded in - 1960 (Received it's independence in 1960 but named 1897 by Flora Shaw, a British journalist.

The hub city - Lagos.

Three major tribes - Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa.

How did Nigeria gain it's independence - In December 1959, members were elected to an enlarged House of Representatives. Sir Abubakar was confirmed in office and one of the first acts of the new government was formally to petition the United Kingdom for independence in October 1960, in accordance with the promise made in London two years earlier.

What's the job market - It's terrible for the youth but NYSC (compulsory palamilitary service for a year) helps people to get their feet into industry as they need to work.

Are there many foreigners - No, there aren't many foreigners in Nigeria, it's mostly populated with Africans. However, I will say they are treated well compared to other countries.

Where is Nigeria situated - South of UK in the world map.

What do Nigerians wear to church (She asked me this because I usually wear formal clothes)

Nothing really inspired me much because it was trivia-like questions but this shows and attempt to engage with the target audience.

Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, who presided over the resumption of sitting on Monday, announced the decision of the House, despite pressures from different quarters to have the decision rescinded. Obasa had said the confirmation followed rigorous and detailed screening of the nominees by a ad-hoc committee led by the Chief Whip of the House, Hon. Fatai Mojeed. The speaker commended the committee for its effectiveness and urged the confirmed nominees to always remember that they are in office to serve the people of the State and not individuals. #Lagos #reject17Commissionerslawmakers #rejection #SanwoOlu

These Massachusetts fathers don’t know best

One is believed to be a globe-trotting doctor who plays polo. Another is a former correction officer turned carpet layer.

Both are wanted by the commonwealth of Massachusetts for failing to pay child support and made the latest Top 10 deadbeat dads list, released yesterday by the Department of Revenue.

Ruth Cram, a Marblehead horseback-riding instructor, said her fiance Fenton Gregory LeBon abandoned them when their daughter Isabella, now 13, was just an infant. The couple lived together while LeBon finished medical school and began his medical residency, but the DOR believes he now spends his days traveling the world and staying active in the polo community. The state says he owes $54,573 in child support.

“My daughter used to cry herself to sleep when she was little because daddy didn’t call, or daddy didn’t send a birthday card. It was very hard for her to understand how someone could do this to her,” Cram said.

Nean Dutton of Lunenburg received some payments from Terry Lee Azevedo after he pleaded guilty to criminal nonsupport of his 10-year-old daughter in 2004, the DOR said. He paid $10,000 and began making weekly payments, but he dropped off the radar soon after. The state says he now owes $69,122.

“I do believe that something will come out of this,” said Dutton, 40, who works as a hairdresser.

Mary Likins, 40, of Northampton, at yesterday’s unveiling of the 15th annual Top 10 roundup, said she is pleased to see her son Dominik’s father, Gilbert Allen Smith, listed.

“He’s had to go without a lot of stuff for way too long,” she said of her son. DOR says the listed men owe a total of $733,481 and are all believed to have fled the state. Other accused deadbeats include:

Christopher John Lagos, formerly of Plymouth, a mason/construction worker, $196,434;

Eric Alphe Grenier, formerly of Methuen, a construction worker, $188,733;

Asgaral “Lee” Hassanali, formerly of Brockton, food prep/cook, $54,519;

Joel Edward Cornish, formerly of Foxboro, a carpenter, $42,003;

Gilbert Allen Smith, formerly of Sandwich, a security guard, $41,800;

Gerard R. Colucci, formerly of Braintree, a restaurant manager, $32,074;

Bunroeun Min, formerly of Gloucester, a car salesman, $31,014; and

Hanan Hen Abitbul, formerly of Richmond, a hairstylist, $26,209.

30DAYS IN HIS PRESENCE Tagged: BORN FOR A PURPOSE Charge Focus: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT • Character is defined as strength of moral fiber. • Character is “the excellence of moral beings.” As the excellence of gold is its purity and the excellence of art is its beauty, so the excellence of man is his character. • Persons of character are noted for their honesty, ethics, and charity. Descriptions such as “man of principle” and “woman of integrity” are assertions of character. A lack of character is moral deficiency, and persons lacking character tend to behave dishonestly, unethically, and uncharitably. A person’s character is the sum of his or her disposition, thoughts, intentions, desires, and actions. It is good to remember that character is gauged by general tendencies, not on the basis of a few isolated actions. We must look at the whole life. For example, King David was a man of good character 1 Samuel 13:14, although he sinned on occasion 2 Samuel 11. And although King Ahab may have acted nobly once 1 Kings 22:35, he was still a man of overall bad character 1 Kings 16:33. Several people in the Bible are described as having noble character: Ruth Ruth 3:11, Hanani Nehemiah 7:2, David Psalm 78:72, and Job Job 2:3. These individuals’ lives were distinguished by persistent moral virtue. Character is influenced and developed by our choices. Daniel “resolved not to defile himself” in Babylon Daniel 1:8, and that godly choice was an important step in formulating an unassailable integrity in the young man’s life. Character, in turn, influences our choices. “The integrity of the upright guides them” Proverbs 11:3a. Character will help us weather the storms of life and keep us from sin Proverbs 10:9a. It is the Lord’s purpose to develop character within us. “The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.” Proverbs 17:3. Godly character is the result of the Holy Spirit’s work of sanctification. Character in the believer is a consistent manifestation of Jesus in his life. It is the purity of heart that God gives becoming purity in action. God sometimes uses trials to strengthen character: “we also rejoice in our sufferings (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CngryM5tiB9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
