Charlie Hebdo and the End of History
In the wake of the shocking murders in Paris I was requested to write an article and an illustration for the Rio Negro daily. So, I called my beloved Escher to help me with such a task. Here is a translation of the last paragraphs I wrote: And it’s hard to consider the effects of […]

The Washington paradox
November 21, 2014
Here’s the biggest irony of Tuesday’s mid-term elections: the U.S. government will continue demanding that Mexico, Colombia and other countries fight the marijuana trade as part of its “war on drugs,” while Washington voters have just approved making pot legal in the U.S. capital. I’d add to another irony: as fewer people goes to ballots […]
(Happy?) New Year
October 12, 2014
If you think this was a horrible year for Peace in the Middle East, think twice. In the future it may be worse. The Forward’s JJ Goldberg learned that Bibi is transforming intelligence branches across Israel to become acquiescent unanimously with his belligerent way to live with their neighbors. And he is able to do […]
The real meaning of Brazil’s elections
October 5, 2014
The elections that take place in the largest country in South America are crucial to the future of the region. What is at stake is whether the economy will be held by political parties elected by their constituents or by the big business through a puppet figure promoted by an overwhelming campaign of the media.

World Cup: soccer, stars and money
July 4, 2014
The World Cup entering its final stages gives some food to chew. As a beautiful sport this cup showed some improvement. Mainly from some “lesser” participants while some of the “big ones” showed the poisonus side of money: as they can buy players they fail to promote local youngs to the front. England, Spain and […]

Snowden, from villain to heroe?
January 3, 2014
The New York Times (in an Editorial column, no less) says Edward Snowden “has done his country a great service”. The so-called father of the WWW, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, also praises Mr. Snowden’s whistleblowing “has become an important part of the effort to protect the Internet and his concept of the open Web.”
Chile: inequality is the name of the game
November 17, 2013
Today the Chileans are called to elect a new president and the odds are overwhelming in favor of Michelle Bachelet to regain the post over the rightist candidate, Evelyn Matthei. But this doesn’t mean there’s an easy task for her to comply. There are a lot of reforms her people claims for. Inequality in the […]
Spy vs Spy
November 14, 2013
The Snowden case picked up last month around the “outrageous” scandal of NSA’s wiretapping of friends and allies. As Nancy Becar of AP points out, there’s not a sacred ground to the intelligence business. Not even between best friends, as Niccolo Machiavelli made it clear many centuries ago. True, moral outrage and public hypocrisy is […]
The Castro vs USA soap-opera
November 1, 2013
The ritual repeat itself every year: the United Nations condemn the American blockade on Cuba (only USA and Israel disagree). The USA government invoke the lack of democracy in Cuba while goes to feed the starving people of the “democratic” North Korea regime and buy tons of electronics from the “democratic” Chinese regime. And from […]
Chile: a nightmare 40 years old
September 10, 2013
40 years ago on 9/11 the bloody coup of general Pinochet (with the help of the White House, Corporate America and the Neocons) against the constitutional president of Chile, Salvador Allende, inaugurated the worst period of Imperialistic rule in South America. As an Argentinian who lived that nightmare I want to shout out to my […]

The panda & the bald eagle
August 23, 2013
Some say China has overtaken US in global commerce. Not just in such regions like Africa and Latin America in search of a better treatment from its partners. But also in places like S. Korea. Other say that the star of the rising markets like the BRIC is dwindling and China is about to crash […]
