“ Diceva Eschilo che «la prima vittima della guerra è la verità». Ma la seconda è la logica. Putin affermava di voler «denazificare l’Ucraina», ma usava le bombe e i carri armati, cioè gli stessi metodi con cui Hitler nazificava l’Europa. Gli atlantisti ribattevano che «non si tratta col nemico»: semmai si tratta con l’amico, ma su cosa? Boh. Joe Biden dava del «macellaio» e del «genocida» a Putin, epiteti decisamente appropriati, soprattutto il primo. Ma un tantino indeboliti dal pulpito da cui provenivano: quello del padrone della macelleria (che ha fatto molte più guerre e molti più morti di Putin e al massimo potrebbe assumerlo come garzone). Bill Clinton coglieva l’occasione della guerra di Putin per vantarsi di aver allargato la Nato a Est «pur consapevole che i rapporti con la Russia potevano tornare conflittuali», perché «l’invasione russa dell’Ucraina dimostra che era necessario». Che è un po’ come dire: l’ho preso a calci in culo e lui mi ha spaccato la faccia, quindi avevo ragione io a prenderlo a calci in culo. I trombettieri delle Sturmtruppen ripetevano due mantra. 1. «La Nato è un’alleanza difensiva» (ma non spiegavano come mai nella sua storia abbia aggredito mezzo mondo). 2. «La Nato difende i valori della democrazia» (ma non spiegavano perché vanti tra i suoi soci la Turchia di Erdoğan e abbia appena fomentato un golpettino in Pakistan per cacciare un premier non gradito). Il presidente ucraino Volodymyr Zelensky intimava all’Ue di rinunciare al gas russo «sporco di sangue», «finanziando il genocidio»: lui però continuava ad acquistarlo tramite Paesi vicini e società svizzere, pagandolo profumatamente, «finanziando il genocidio» e per di più incassando da Putin 1,4 miliardi l’anno «sporchi di sangue» per i diritti di transito del gasdotto russo sotto il suolo ucraino.

L’Onu espelleva la Russia dal Consiglio per i Diritti Umani, presieduto dall’Arabia Saudita (nota culla dei diritti umani, apprezzata da Matteo Renzi, ma soprattutto da Jamal Khashoggi, da ottanta giustiziati nel mese di marzo, nonché dai 370mila morti e dai venti milioni di affamati nello Yemen). Per non dipendere dal gas e dal petrolio dell’autocrate Putin, Draghi firmava contratti per far dipendere l’Italia dall’autocrate algerino Abdelmadjid Tebboune (che reprime partiti di opposizione e sindacati, fa arrestare attivisti per i diritti umani ed è fra i migliori partner militari di Mosca) e di altri regimi autocratici che hanno rifiutato di condannare la Russia all’Onu: Qatar, Egitto (vedi alle voci Regeni e Zaki), Congo (vedi alla voce Attanasio), Angola e Mozambico. E continuava a vendere armi all’Arabia Saudita e agli Emirati Arabi Uniti (i macellai dello Yemen), all’Egitto e al Qatar. A supporto del ribaltamento della logica, si provvedeva a ribaltare anche il vocabolario, secondo i dettami del ministero della Verità in 1984 di George Orwell: «La guerra è pace», «La libertà è schiavitù», «L’ignoranza è forza». Putin vietava di parlare di «guerra» perché la sua era solo un’«operazione militare speciale». E chi diceva il contrario finiva in galera. Ma in passato anche i buoni occidentali, quando aggredivano militarmente questo e quello, la guerra non la nominavano mai: meglio “missione umanitaria”, “esportazione della democrazia”, “peacekeeping”. A ogni strage di civili – regolarmente attribuita ai russi, anche nei casi in cui era opera delle truppe ucraine o dei loro fiancheggiatori neonazisti del Battaglione “Azov” – si ricorreva a termini impropri come “genocidio” (distruzione sistematica di un popolo, di un’etnia, di un gruppo religioso) e a paragoni blasfemi con l’Olocausto, la Shoah, la Soluzione Finale (termini finora usati da tutti, fuorché dai negazionisti, esclusivamente per quell’unicum storico che fu lo sterminio nazista degli ebrei). Ma bastava leggere i libri di Gino Strada per sapere che le stragi di civili sono una costante di ogni conflitto e si chiamano precisamente “guerra”, visto che in ciascuna il rapporto fra vittime civili e militari è invariabilmente di 9 a 1. E quella in Ucraina purtroppo non faceva eccezione, malgrado l’indignazione selettiva dei fanatici atlantisti che – per bloccare sul nascere qualunque tentativo di portare Putin al tavolo del negoziato – si affannavano a dipingere quel conflitto come diverso da tutti gli altri per le vittime civili, le fosse comuni, le torture, le violenze gratuite e le armi proibite (anch’esse caratteristiche costanti di tutti i conflitti, inclusi quelli scatenati dai “buoni”). “

It turned out the secret bombing of Cambodia and Laos, which lasted years, represented a template. When Nixon in 1970 revealed the secret bombings, it was a step too far even for Thomas Schelling, one of the Pentagon’s favorite defense academics, who called them “sickening.” As Grandin writes in Kissinger’s Shadow, the Cambridge-to-Washington set was not prepared in 1970 to accept that the U.S. had the right to destroy an enemy “safe haven” in a country it was not at war with and to do it all in secret, thereby shielding a war from basic public scrutiny. After 9/11, those assertions became accepted, foundational pillars of a War on Terror permitting four presidents to bomb, for 20 years, Pakistanis, Yemenis, Somalis, Libyans, Syrians, and others.

....

In 1999, Pinochet was arrested in London through an effort by Baltazar Garzon, a Spanish judge investigating Operation Condor. Kissinger urged the British not to extradite the general. “I would be very happy if Pinochet was allowed home,” he told an interviewer. “This episode has gone on long enough and all my sympathies are with him.” Two years later, the administration of George W. Bush responded contemptuously to the Chilean Supreme Court’s efforts to compel Kissinger to testify. “It is unjust and ridiculous that a distinguished servant of this country should be harassed by foreign courts in this way,” an official told the Daily Telegraph. The paper noted that Kissinger was an “informal adviser” to Bush, as he was to many presidents.

Bush’s declaration of protection for Kissinger, coupled with his rejection of the Rome Treaty on the International Criminal Court, extinguished a glimmer of hope that Kissinger would someday join Pinochet under arrest. It was always a fantasy. The international architecture that the U.S. and its allies established after World War II, shorthanded today as the “rules-based international order,” somehow never gets around to applying the same pressure on a hegemonic United States as it applies to U.S.-hostile or defiant powers. It reflects the organizing principle of American exceptionalism: America acts; it is not acted upon. Henry Kissinger was a supreme architect of the rules-based international order.

TWO MORE TENOR/BASS/DRUMS TRIOS 9 PM SETS AT SMALL’S JAZZ CLUB

COUCH TOUR: STEVE CARRINGTON with Boris Kozlov and Uros Markovic, 15 FEBRUARY 2023

ALMOST COUCH TOUR: THE FRINGE (George Garzone, Jon Lockwood, and Ben Perowsky), 3 FEBRUARY 2023

The STEVE CARRINGTON date was advertised as a tribute to John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Dexter Gordon so my curiosity was piqued. GEORGE GARZONE had been booked for a prime weekend run, so that too was an endorsement which I took up having seen Carrington. Plus I had the Julieta Eugenio/Melissa Aldana/Nicole Glover run to explore this ensemble which was itself on top of an Aldana and Crash Trio exploration of Mark Turner’s work in Fly Trio and Warne Marsh with Red Mitchell.

CARRINGTON explicitly invited us back to the Village Vanguard where the Rollins album was recorded but also, I think, Chasin’ the Trane for which McCoy Tyner sat out. I don’t recall a Dexter Gordon trio date, but Carrington’s lush playing and approach to standards (Nostalgia and My One and Only Love) covered that base. He opened with Coltrane’s Lonnie’s Lament and included Rollins’ Pent Up House. While I think of those two giants as having big sounds (and they do), it is Gordon who is more lush. Carrington is more in the middle while sharing the melodicism of each of them. He was rarely in a furious sheets of sound mode and he bounced happily to the music.

Such trios pose equal challenges for the rhythm sections and, while all four players delivered, with Carrington it was Boris Kozolov’s bass that filled up the space with very tasty accompaniment and inventive solos. With THE FRINGE, drummer Ben Perowsky was the big presence while Jon Lockwood helped ground things and mellowed a sometimes frantic tone. Garzone played to Perowsky, locking in with his back half turned to the audience to up the temperature.

My homework with George Garzone didn’t lead me to expect such a free set. His tone is dryer and the recordings I heard were standards. But THE FRINGE came out of the gates fast and furious, listening to one another intently but responding idiosyncratically. The tunes almost seemed to be medleys with Lockwood’s solos serving as resets suggesting new possibilities for Garzone in round two. Again, it was Perowsky who opened the throttle while finding flavors and commentary, melodic as well as rhythmic, at volume locked in with Garzone and sensitively behind Lockwood.

This was an interesting juxtaposition and a chance to see what players do without a piano. And it’s good to visit this ensemble, so of course I will again and again.

Cztery muzyczne znakomitości. Trzy wieczory w Los Angeles. Niewielki klub nieopodal lotniska.

Precyzyjnie wyliczone czasy trwania poszczególnych setów – każdy oscylujący w granicach godziny i dziesięciu minut.

Monday, October 4, 2021

Governing by crisis (AP) Washington’s tempestuous week of walking, chewing gum, juggling balls and spinning plates at the same time is giving rise to apocalyptic rhetoric about the state and future of the country. Four big things are happening at once, all attended by hyperventilation. The White House talks of a “cataclysmic economic threat” if Republicans don’t start cooperating. Republicans assail Democrats for unleashing a “big-government socialist nation.” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says: “Insanity and disaster are now the Republican Party line.” It’s a contest to see which side can bash back better. This is what governing by crisis looks like. The government has essential housekeeping to do this time of year. Yet no deal comes until it absolutely must. Why act at the 11th hour when you’ve got 59 minutes left? There are a couple of must-do’s. The government needed a law to keep itself open in the budget year that began Friday morning. That happened, with a few hours to spare. It also needs to raise or suspend its borrowing ceiling to cover current expenses and avoid a default on its debt payments over the next two weeks. Then there are the want-to-do’s. President Joe Biden, many Democrats and a sizable number of Republicans want to build or restore roads, bridges, broadband and more in an ambitious public works package. Biden and many Democrats, but no Republicans, also want to supercharge social and climate spending, potentially costing upward of three times more than the infrastructure one. All the plates are still spinning.

Military Bases Turn Into Small Cities as Afghans Wait Months for Homes in U.S. (NYT) In late August, evacuees from Afghanistan began arriving by the busload to the Fort McCoy Army base in the Midwest, carrying little more than cellphones and harrowing tales of their narrow escapes from a country they may never see again. They were greeted by soldiers, assigned rooms in white barracks and advised not to stray into the surrounding forest, lest they get lost. More than a month later, the remote base some 170 miles from Milwaukee is home to 12,600 Afghan evacuees, almost half of them children, now bigger than any city in western Wisconsin’s Monroe County. The story is much the same on seven other military installations from Texas to New Jersey. Overall, roughly 53,000 Afghans have been living at these bases since the chaotic evacuation from Kabul this summer that marked the end of 20 years of war. While many Americans have turned their attention away from the largest evacuation of war refugees since Vietnam, the operation is very much a work in progress here, overseen by a host of federal agencies and thousands of U.S. troops. While an initial group of about 2,600 people—largely former military translators and others who helped allied forces during the war—moved quickly into American communities, a vast majority remain stranded on these sprawling military way stations, uncertain of when they will be able to start the new American lives they were expecting. An additional 14,000 people are still on bases abroad, waiting for transfer to the United States.

Dwindling Alaska salmon leave Yukon River tribes in crisis (AP) In a normal year, the smokehouses and drying racks that Alaska Natives use to prepare salmon to tide them through the winter would be heavy with fish meat, the fruits of a summer spent fishing on the Yukon River like generations before them. This year, there are no fish. For the first time in memory, both king and chum salmon have dwindled to almost nothing and the state has banned salmon fishing on the Yukon, even the subsistence harvests that Alaska Natives rely on to fill their freezers and pantries for winter. The remote communities that dot the river and live off its bounty—far from road systems and easy, affordable shopping—are desperate and doubling down on moose and caribou hunts in the waning days of fall. “Nobody has fish in their freezer right now. Nobody,” said Giovanna Stevens, 38, a member of the Stevens Village tribe who grew up harvesting salmon at her family’s fish camp. “We have to fill that void quickly before winter gets here.” Opinions on what led to the catastrophe vary, but those studying it generally agree climate change is playing a role as the river and the Bering Sea warm, altering the food chain in ways that aren’t yet fully understood. Many believe commercial trawling operations that scoop up wild salmon along with their intended catch, as well as competition from hatchery-raised salmon in the ocean, have compounded global warming’s effects on one of North America’s longest rivers.

Crossing the Darien Gap (NYT) Migrants are surging at the Mexican border. Tens of thousands are passing through a deadly South American jungle to get there. The Darién Gap, a roadless, lawless land bridge connecting Colombia and Panama, was considered so dangerous that only a few thousand people a year tried to cross it. But the economic devastation wrought by the pandemic in South America has been such that 95,000 migrants, most of them Haitian, attempted the crossing in the first nine months of the year. “We very well could be on the precipice of a historic displacement of people in the Americas toward the United States,” a former national security adviser said. “When one of the most impenetrable stretches of jungle in the world is no longer stopping people, it underscores that political borders, however enforced, won’t either.”

Puerto Ricans fume as outages threaten health, work, school (AP) Not a single hurricane has hit Puerto Rico this year, but hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. territory feel like they’re living in the aftermath of a major storm: Students do homework by the light of dying cellphones, people who depend on insulin or respiratory therapies struggle to find power sources and the elderly are fleeing sweltering homes amid record high temperatures. Power outages across the island have surged in recent weeks, with some lasting several days. Officials have blamed everything from seaweed to mechanical failures as the government calls the situation a “crass failure” that urgently needs to be fixed. The daily outages are snarling traffic, frying costly appliances, forcing doctors to cancel appointments, causing restaurants, shopping malls and schools to temporarily close and even prompting one university to suspend classes and another to declare a moratorium on exams. Puerto Rico’s Electric Power Authority, which is responsible for the generation of electricity, and Luma, a private company that handles transmission and distribution of power, have blamed mechanical failures at various plants involving components such as boilers and condensers. In one recent incident, seaweed clogged filters and a narrow pipe.

Thousands in Brazil protest Bolsonaro, seek his impeachment (AP) With Brazil’s presidential election one year away, tens of thousands of demonstrators marched Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and dozens of other cities around the country to protest President Jair Bolsonaro and call for his impeachment. Saturday’s protest targeted the president for his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bolsonaro, who is not vaccinated and doesn’t usually wear a mask, has underestimated the severity of the virus and promoted crowds during the pandemic. Some 597,000 have died of COVID-19 in Brazil, a country of 212 million people. Demonstrators also protested surging inflation in mainstays like food and electricity. Over 130 impeachment requests have been filed since the start of Bolsonaro’s administration, but the lower house’s speaker, Arthur Lira, and his predecessor have declined to open proceedings. Division among the opposition is the key reason analysts consider it unlikely there will be enough pressure on Lira to open impeachment process.

Ecuador to pardon thousands of inmates after deadly prison riot (CNN) Ecuador plans to pardon and commute thousands of sentences in order to free up space in the country’s prisons following a deadly riot at a penitentiary in the coastal city of Guayaquil this week. The Director of Ecuador’s prison agency SNAI, Bolivar Garzon, said on Friday that up to 2,000 inmates, including elderly people, women and those with disabilities and terminal illnesses, would be prioritized on the pardon list for release and foreign nationals will be deported. Investigations are still ongoing at the Litoral penitentiary in Guayaquil, after violent clashes between rival gangs at the high-security facility left 118 inmates dead and dozens wounded on Tuesday. Those killed suffered from injuries resulting from bullets and grenades, according to regional police commander Fausto Buenaño. Ecuador’s President Guillermo Lasso said in a televised address on Wednesday that the prison was not yet entirely secured, and urged inmates’ relatives and families to stay away from the area.

After a century of waiting, Russians witness a royal wedding once more (NPR) Descendants of the czarist Romanov dynasty were married in the country’s first royal wedding in over a century—kicking off a weekend of lavish events that sparked public curiosity, awe and derision in seemingly equal measure. Under the dome of St. Isaac’s Cathedral in Russia’s former imperial capital city, Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov, 40, married his Italian bride, Victoria Romanovna Bettarini, 39, in an Orthodox ceremony on Friday before priests and several hundred guests. Czarist trappings included an engagement ring “traditionally exchanged in the House of Romanov,” according to a press release. The Russian Orthodox Church’s top official in St. Petersburg, Metropolitan Varsonofy, blessed the ceremony. “It’s a kind of imperial wedding. A remembrance of eternal Russia—of sacred czars and patriarchs and (the) church,” philosopher Alexander Dugin said in an interview with NPR.

China tightens political control of internet giants (AP) The ruling Communist Party is tightening political control over China’s internet giants and tapping their wealth to pay for its ambitions to reduce reliance on U.S. and European technology. Anti-monopoly and data security crackdowns starting in late 2020 have shaken the industry, which flourished for two decades with little regulation. Investor jitters have knocked more than $1.3 trillion off the total market value of e-commerce platform Alibaba, games and social media operator Tencent and other tech giants. The party says anti-monopoly enforcement will be a priority through 2025. It says competition will help create jobs and raise living standards. President Xi Jinping’s government seems likely to stay the course even if economic growth suffers, say businesspeople, lawyers and economists. “These companies are world leaders in their sectors in innovation, and yet the leadership is willing to squash them all,” said Mark Williams, chief Asia economist for Capital Economics. Chinese leaders don’t want to reimpose direct control of the economy but want private sector companies to align with ruling party plans, said Lester Ross, head of the Beijing office of law firm WilmerHale. “What they are worried about is companies getting too big and too independent of the party,” said Ross.

China sends 77 warplanes into Taiwan defense zone over two days, Taipei says (CNN) Taiwan has reported a record number of incursions by Chinese warplanes into its air defense identification zone (ADIZ) for the second day in a row, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said on Saturday night. The self-governing island said a total of 39 Chinese military aircraft entered the ADIZ on Saturday, one more than the 38 planes it spotted on Friday. The 38 and 39 planes respectively are the highest number of incursions Taiwan has reported in a day since it began publicly reporting such activities last year. The incursions on Friday came as Beijing celebrated 72 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Taiwan and mainland China have been governed separately since the end of a civil war more than seven decades ago, in which the defeated Nationalists fled to Taipei. However, Beijing views Taiwan as an inseparable part of its territory—even though the Chinese Communist Party has never governed the democratic island of about 24 million people.

Leaked records open a ‘Pandora’ box of financial secrets (AP) Hundreds of world leaders, powerful politicians, billionaires, celebrities, religious leaders and drug dealers have been hiding their investments in mansions, exclusive beachfront property, yachts and other assets for the past quarter-century, according to a review of nearly 12 million files obtained from 14 firms located around the world. The report released Sunday by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists involved 600 journalists from 150 media outlets in 117 countries. It’s being dubbed the “Pandora Papers” because the findings shed light on the previously hidden dealings of the elite and the corrupt, and how they have used offshore accounts to shield assets collectively worth trillions of dollars. The more than 330 current and former politicians identified as beneficiaries of the secret accounts include Jordan’s King Abdullah II, former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, Czech Republic Prime Minister Andrej Babis, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, Ecuador’s President Guillermo Lasso, and associates of both Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Russian President Vladimir Putin. “The new data leak must be a wake-up call,” said Sven Giegold, a Green party lawmaker in the European Parliament. “Global tax evasion fuels global inequality. We need to expand and sharpen the countermeasures now.”

Cities rethinking transit (NYT) Trams, cable cars, ferries: Cities are rethinking transit. Berlin is reviving electric tram lines that were ripped out when the Berlin Wall went up. Bogotá, Colombia, is building cable cars to serve working-class communities. Bergen, Norway, is running battery-powered ferries and buses. Where cities are succeeding in these and similar efforts, they’re also finding benefits in cleaner air.
