[Goanet] Uninvited Cat

2022-03-07 Thread Joao Barros-Pereira
Uninvited Cat and What’s Next?

Last night an invited cat entered our storeroom without any documents
and other legal papers.

The cat went on to attack our cat and killed four of her kittens;
fortunately, one escaped unharmed.

Is this the model for life?

Darwinians will nod their heads in agreement - not sure in which
direction as people do to say yes, some side ways and some up down as
is done in Bulgaria. All the same, agreement means agreement!

I prayed to Jesus for help but got no reply. Maybe a change of address
or Jesus cannot understand English?

I will now christian the cat Putin. The cat was found this morning in
another room under the bed.

My staff and I held a high level meeting and decided to take decisive
action. Armed with sticks we challenged the cat who would not budge
for a few minutes.

We kept the windows open as cats are known to panic and also to send a
clear message to Putin we have back up on the way.

The cat snarled and howled and rolled his eyes in an evil way as we
saw in the movie Exorcist when the priest tried to get the Devil out
of the body of the possessed young girl.

Putin put up a great fight until I managed to hit him firmly on the
head with my Zen stick dislocating his brain. He screamed a death like
throttle but managed to stumble his way into the garden where he lay
immobile. RIP.

If we place Putin firmly in the context of International Politics we
get a good understanding of the Russian Putin the macho man who is
really a mad man.

Like the cat who wanted to take over our house and rule, the Russian
Putin wants to take over the Ukraine and other nations which were part
of the former Soviet Union.

We stopped the cat whom we named Putin and the international community
now has to stop the mad man of Russia who was named Putin by his
parents. Both have to go!

Every family and every country in the world has had conflicts in the
past ten, hundred, thousand years or more. We cannot attack a family
or country on this rationale - and if we do - there will be  no
nations and countries in the world of tomorrow.

No matter what the Darwinians have to say we human beings evolve, and
for this reason, the animal in the Putins of the world have to be
stopped.

They have no remorse, no feeling and if we who have evolved  to a
higher consciousness do not stop them they will not do it themselves -
and there will be no more world!

WILL THAT OLD GOA BUNGALOW MANAGE TO BE ABOVE THE LAW?

As predicted, the outrageous bungalow of BJP national spokesperson Shaina
NC which has come up within the heritage precincts at Old Goa has now got a
temporary legal reprieve. The matter may drag on for years if not decades
while it travels through various stages of our cumbersome legal process.

The battle to safeguard our heritage area had to be a people’s movement but
unfortunately this one was craftily high jacked and punctured by Amit
Palekar of Aam Aadmi Party who with vested political motives went on a
stage managed fast unto death vowing to see that the structure was razed.
The fast was however quickly withdrawn. It was a well orchestrated drama
with an eye on the Assembly elections. It proved to be a well-acted
theatrical farce. We will soon know on 10th March whether his politrik
worked to enable him to become an MLA and the fate of his Chief Ministerial
dream.

On that monstrous bungalow at Old Goa, it is imperative that all those
involved in fraudulent acts and forgery to facilitate this construction
must feel the full force of the law and be brought to book as a matter of
urgency. On this serious issue, may the wheels of justice turn a lot faster
and grind exceedingly fine sparing no one the punishment they deserve.
Justice delayed is justice denied.

The authorities are also duty bound to act against all other illegal
structures many owned by local elected representatives that have come up
with political patronage destroying the sanctity and solemnity of this
UNESCO world heritage site.

[Goanet] Keep Fighting Ukraine - We’ll Hold Your Coat

2022-03-07 Thread Roland Francis
From Canada’s National Post:
"The U.S. and its allies may be united in their repugnance about what is 
happening in Ukraine but the lack of will to deter the Russian bully is as 
transparent as the grave consequences it presents for global stability," writes 
Derek Burney. "Instead of throwing a gauntlet down, the posture of the U.S. and 
the West can best be described as ‘Keep fighting Ukraine. We’ll hold your 
coat.’ ”
Or, as an Indian Magazine has so well put it:

Russia is the bully who is merely troubling Ukraine. Along come the friends of 
the victims (the Western countries) who ask the victim not to endure the 
bullying and goad him into fighting the bully. As expected the bully thrashes 
the victim and instead of helping him all the victim’s friends flee. (They 
refuse Ukraine’s request for a no-fly zone and lately have denied a request for 
fighter planes to be sent so the Ukrainians can defend themselves).

I can relate to that comparison. I have a cousin like that in Goa. During 
school times he would goad me into challenging the neighbourhood bully when I 
went on summer holidays and after the actual physical confrontation started, 
this cousin would be nowhere to be seen.

[Goanet] Germany and Russia share common interest

2022-03-07 Thread Nelson Lopes
Relationship between Germany and Russia

Second gas pipeline  through Atlantic  ocean from Russia to Germany  called
Nord stream 2 is almost completed .It will be a game changer for both
countries.USA under Trump  had blocked it.Biden in order to appease Russia
removed the restrictions.The pipeline avoids land route through Ukraine
but the country is provided with aid to compensate the possible loss  .The
good relations with Russia may help  to pay in their currencies and not in
dollars as of now
 Russia speculates that Ukraine joining NATO will pose danger and security
to its interests   but Ukraine has not been admitted into NATO. Instead it
has become member of EU.The membership needs to be  considered by 27
members  ,besides European Parliamentand two other bodies.There has not
been aggressive posture by Ukraine towards Russia  and the cannrads  about
dirty bomb is absolute excuse to justify invasion. EU membership entails
many benefits besides common currency  ,travel and settlement  without
border restrictions.EU is not a military block like NATO   .Invasion by
Russia has been condemned by Nations and it is isolated with sanctions
imposed
The invasion in Afghanistan   Iraq   Viretnam  did not receive the same
emphasis. IN  future Taiwan, India may be targets if similar sdventurism
continues..Russia may be eying establishment of Soviet Union. with Crimea

[Goanet] Strutting Indian Politician Peacocks

2022-03-07 Thread Roland Francis
Unsurprisingly, Goa is full of them too. 

From The India Cable:

“It took a Romanian mayor to rip apart PM Modi’s gimmick of despatching four 
Union ministers to Europe for ‘evacuation’, which the Indian newspapers have 
hailed as yet another masterstroke. 

In an interview to The Quint, Mihai Anghel, Mayor of Snagov, explained that his 
verbal spat with Jyotiraditya Scindia was because he was standing up for the 
Indian students, who wanted to know just one thing ― when were they going home? 

“Our team received 157 Indian students. We received little help from the 
embassy here and all the food and other necessities were provided by us. The 
citizens of the Snagov region provided all of it. Then I saw this gentleman 
walk in in the late evening, appearing full of himself with cameras, and 
addressing the students in a very arrogant tone. He was as if prepared to 
present a PR speech, and not comfort the students who had just fled war and 
wanted to go home,” he said about the minister.

“I am receiving a barrage of hate messages possibly from paid trolls who are 
bombarding my official pages. I am a politician and I can handle all this, but 
receiving a hate message from foreign citizens and not my own people, is a 
first,” he reveals. But the students sheltered in Snagov have been sharing 
messages of gratitude to Anghel for his help.

Ukraine has been a happy hunting ground for photo-ops by Scindia and company to 
help the BJP in its UP election campaign. Earlier, students refused to say 
“Modi ji ki…” on cue. Now, Scindia faces satire, which the BJP has a healthy 
fear of”.

[Goanet] Goanet 112 on Sunday

2022-03-07 Thread Adolfo Mascarenhas
I was very pleased that Goa net Issue 112 arrivedseveral days ago I
received 105 .Is there any possibility of getting the outstanding 7
numbers
 There is a rumour   stating that they were mistakenly sent to Albania and
Bolivia...the extremist in my group state they were sent to
Ukraine...However. .My uncle on Mars states that I should be patient 
However my interest in Literature, including Greek literature reminds me
that my uncle may be biased You see Mars (Mavors or Mamers) is an old
Italian fertility god who came to be known as Gradivus, the strider, and
the GOD of WAR. Although usually taken to be the equivalent of the Greek
war god ARES
 Mars was well-liked and honored by the Romans, unlike Ares vis à vis the
ancient Greeks. etc etc

Sorry old habits die hard Needs to go to the supermarket and buy at least
two MARS bars.The HINDU genes in me remind me that *SKANDA *, the Hindu
god of war, is worshipped under many names, as Karttikeya No wonder tis
Goan is so confused
Grandolfo
Just out of interest ,,,doe the Goan word AARE originate from the Greek
ARES.
