I know this is hardly fresh news, as it was distributed by agencies in December. But I had to illustrate its Spanish translation a lot later. I find interesting to link the efforts by Russian bloggers to overcome TV censorship trough the Net with other reports about the government hiring hackers and trolls aiming to… [Read more…]

In the board game of Geopolitics there are always two sides playing. Or more, obviously. What is not so obvious is that reputed political analysts sometimes are just re-writing the guidelines provided by just only one of the players. This is what I thought of the brief Andres Oppenheimer’s piece I had to illustrate for… [Read more…]

After the 9/11 attacks, the hysteria for retaliation led the American people into the abyss of unending war, lost of civil liberties, moral debacle, monstrous debt and economic chaos. Bin Laden couldn’t dream of a biggest success. I’m not arguing here with the “truth” about who actually was the mastermind behind the attacks. I’m answering… [Read more…]

The prolonged crisis of Capitalism in the core countries of the “globalized” economy has an ideological by-product in the extremist political rhetoric. Although it would be more appropriate to speak of the descent into barbarism by the publishers of the Right and the mass media. Thus, any attempt to sustain the social protection of population at… [Read more…]

Sergio Bergman (2nd from right) is an Argentine rabbi of frequent media appearances who associated himself with local center-right politicians. He endorsed the movement headed by Mr. Blumberg (who’s son died when kidnapped) for “security” against marginalized youngsters. Then organized an NGO to raise money from wealthy Jews and contend in the community elections. Last… [Read more…]

The extradition of Julian Assange to be judged in Sweden sets the path to the end of what we can call the “romantic period” of cyber-activism. The dream of a perfect transparent society, free from secretive diplomatic deals, where the people have ALL the data that can affect his live is not a reachable one.… [Read more…]

Some of the 2010 developments which Andrés Oppenheimer thinks are shaping the coming years. Asiatic students ranked high in standardized tests, announcing a possible future leadership in innovation. While Brazil became a star as an emergent economy, its diplomacy showed an “alarming” independence towards such “pariah” states like Iran. Finally, the prosecution of Julian… [Read more…]

I did this illustration (obviously inspired by Delacroix) for an article in the Argentine daily Río Negro which summarize another one published by “Foreign Policy”. But, unlike the original reference, the Argentine counterpart underscores the source of the unlimited power that allows Berlusconi to turn Italy into a “bordello” (brothel): his uncontested control of the… [Read more…]

Hollman Morris, a Colombian independent investigative journalist and TV producer, was denied a visa to attend Harvard U for supposed ties with the FARC guerillas, according to the Patriot Act. Those ties never were probed but just claimed by the rightist government of Uribe, who’s links with the Death Squads Morris used to expose. The… [Read more…]

Another take on the hysteria spread by the media (with a little help by the WHO). How many lives have terminated by this so called “pandemic” disease and how many by the capitalist crisis? I grew up in a world worried by the impending nuclear war. Then came the AIDS, the Ebola, the islamofobia and… [Read more…]
