Olá,
Antes de mais nada e antes que me esqueça espero que todos vocês assinalem o Primeiro de Dezembro como a tragédia histórica que foi. É prova que há muita coisa de mal que acontece por bem. Se não houvesse Primeiro de Dezembro hoje seríamos parte de uma região autónoma de Espanha, seríamos todos muito mais ricos e como minoria poderíamos sempre garantir mais tachos e mais fundos dos socialistas espanhóis afirmando estarmos a ser discriminados. Os socialistas entram sempre em pânico quando são acusados de serem racistas ou de serem culpados pelo facto de alguém há 600 anos ter morto alguém que era de outra raça ou nacionalidade e resolvem o problema como sempre: atirando dinheiro (dos outros) ao problema.
Mas hoje escrevo para vos dizer que o futuro poderá afinal não ser aquilo que era. Cheguei a essa conclusão quando tinha a televisão ligada para o novo canal de notícias de 24 horas, a “Al Jazeera English” que começou a emitir há poucas semanas - como o nome indica - em inglês.
Pois tenho a dizer-vos que estava eu a olhar para o meu computador ao mesmo tempo que um apresentador da “Al Jazeera English” falava já não me lembra sobre quê quando subitamente ele disse algo que me fez engasgar … e rir como eu não pensava ser possível rir a ver a Al Jazeera … mesmo que na sua versão English. Pois como estávamos a chegar à hora certa, (tempo dos anúncios), o apresentador diz (em English claro está) que “vou fazer uma pausa. Não se vão embora. Estão sintonizados com a Al Jazeera e eu sou Kamal Santa Maria”.
Kamal … Santa Maria???? Na Al Jazeera? Claro que me engasguei, então não havia de me engasgar!! Umas horas antes tinha sorrido para mim mesmo quando dois apresentadores de nomes bem ingleses (Felicity Barr e Stephen Cole) e com uma pronúncia inglesa “Oh tão classe alta e fina” se apresentaram dos estúdios em Londres acrescentando “ and you are watching Al Jazeera broadcasting from London”. Sorri para mim mesmo porque me veio logo à cabeça a ideia que no futuro a capital inglesa teria que provavelmente mudar de nome para Londristão. Lembro-me de olhar para a Felicity com a sua pronuncia “oh tão classe alta” e começar a imaginar como é que ficaria de véu.
Mas depois de ouvir o tal Kamal Santa Maria (onde é que raio o descobriram?) comecei a tomar atenção aos correspondentes da “Al Jazeera English” e afinal parece que o futuro já não é o que era. E isto ao que parece graças – pelo menos em parte - a esse grande campeão da globalização que foi o Infante D. Henrique (é verdade ) e também à globalização de ideias.
A “Al Jazeera English” tem uma correspondente em África com o nome de Gabi Menezes, uma outra que estava na Turquia chamada Barbara Serra e aqui em Washington uma tal Ghida Fakhry de uma beleza de caír para o lado (sem véu e pela qual fiquei logo apaixonado) e vejam lá o Dave Marash. Vocês não conhecem o Dave Marash. É um tipo de barba branca assim para o pesado, afável, com um daqueles sorrisos amigos, de gajo que compreende e uma voz de gajo paciente. Nunca se excita. Vejam lá que o Marash … é judeu! A pergunta que todos os árabes e judeus (e alguns que não são uma coisa nem outra) fazem de imediato é: o que é que um judeu está a fazer na Al Jazeera ?
Presumo que o mesmo que o Kamal Santa Maria. Isto é apresentar notícias no bom estilo da velha BBC. Vejam lá que outro dia a “Al Jazeera English” até tinha uma reportagem sobre um exilado que regressou ao Curdistão, que detesta o Saddam Hussein e quer vê-lo pendurado pelo pescoço o mais rapidamente possível. A certa altura nessa reportagem um taxista dizia ao retornado curdo que “nós gostamos muitos dos americanos e dos ingleses. Só é pena que os americanos não nos deixem acabar com os árabes”. Fiquei a pensar que só isso deveria ser o suficiente para alienar metade da população árabe e também de grande parte dos intelectuais europeus pois como nós sabemos no que diz respeito aos EUA muitos intelectuais europeus de esquerda não têm (ao contrário do que pensam) opiniões, mas sim sentimentos e tendem a confundir as duas coisas.
Não sei se as reportagens da Al Jazeera English são uma demonstração de que pelo menos em certos círculos árabes há uma luta sobre as normas e valores do Islão que ao que parece não são compatíveis com uma sociedade plural. Porquê? Porque não são apenas um punhado de crenças e princípios individuais mas sim acima de tudo um credo social, um meio de organizar a sociedade. E é esse debate que tem que haver no islão e por isso o “liberalismo” da Al Jazeera é uma lufada de ar fresco.
Pode ser que não. Ao fim e ao cabo Al Jazeera em árabe significa ilha e a cadeia de televisão abandonou os seus planos iniciais de chamar ao seu canal em Inglês “Al Jazeera International” escolhendo “Al Jazeera English” porque alguém teria feito notar que internacional não é …. English. O Jacques Chirac deve ter batido palmas a essa bacorada. Alguém me fez notar também que no portal da internet da Al jazeera English a hora dada é “Meca Time”, com uma referência ao lado da hora universal. Talvez um indício que o futuro poderá ser afinal o que era - pelo menos aí desse lado do oceano – e regulamentado parcialmente pela Meca Time.
De qualquer modo para já… viva o Kamal Santa Maria!
Ah já me esquecia…. antes de me ir embora tenho a dizer vos que também comecei a rir sozinho quando vi a reportagem do Papa na Turquia onde foi recebido apenas por alguns minutos pelo primeiro ministro turco porque este tinha que “ir a Riga” participar na cimeira da NATO.
Se o João Paulo II ainda fosse vivo ou teria rebentado a rir como eu ou então ter-se ia sentido insultado. É que (para desagravo dos letões) em Polaco a expressão “ir a Riga” significa … ir vomitar. Imaginem a cena. O primeiro ministro turco a apertar a mão ao Papa e a dizer-lhe “tenho que ir a Riga”….
Um abraço,
Da capital do Império,
Jota Esse Erre

[color=#58a]Hi
With the continuing rise in popularity of facebook poker chips as a virtual currency in zynga texas holdem poker game a lot of scammers have engaged themselves, who try their best to trick unsuspecting players out of their hard earned tagged poker chips. All over the internet forums are littered with posts by innocent people who have had their poker chips stolen. Nothing is as sorry state as logging to Facebook or MySpace to play a few games of poker only to find that your account is hacked and your poker chips are gone.[/color]
[url=http://www.chipshut.com][img]http://www.chipshut.com/img/facebook-poker-chips-hut.jpg[/img][/url]
[color=#58a]Keep these basic things in mind to protect your facebook poker chips:
Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy. You may meet a pretending star in poker room and you are friends with him/her. He/she will keep interacting with you days before playing her trick. So be carefull enough to protect your login credentials to yourself, else this may lead to disaster.
Be careful about what you download: Professional online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an advantage on their opponents. Poker is no different and there are many websites on the internet having facebook poker cheats and hacks for those brave enough to download and install them. But many of these so called facebook poker cheats have viruses or trojan programs. The moment you install any of these your computer is at the risk of attacks by the creator of the program. He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you’re probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.
Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Theives send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the hacker who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.
YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you’ll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.
Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by scammer, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.
Hope these tips help you saving your chips.
