BRAVE WORLD TRUMP NEWSLETTER • DAILY EDITION WITH UPDATES ON THE US AND ISRAEL ATTACK ON IRAN
There’s an explosive phrase that comes from a book of short stories by an unfortunately dead writer, it’s a phrase that any reporter can get tattooed and it goes something like this, “For every war you need a lot of journalists, otherwise we’re screwed even before the bombs explode”: look at Gaza, Israel conditioned the work of journalists, look at Ukraine, which made it easier for journalists to do their job, look at both and see what we know about one of the places, Ukraine, and what we don’t know about the other, Gaza; see how Ukraine immediately had the support of an influential part of the international community, especially in the post-, and how Israel first had this support in the post-October 7th but how it lost it months later, especially in the post-reports of – Israel even denies that this famine exists but did not let journalists go there to feed the truth: there is manipulation of information in all wars, both those that let reporters in and those that don’t, but without journalism it’s like that Washington Post slogan, it’s total darkness, Democracy dies in darkness, says the Washington Post, “for every Democracy you need a lot of journalists, otherwise we are screwed before the truth even explodes”.
Iran is one of the cases where parties cannot act freely, but Sá Pinto, the football coach, had managed to leave Iran days before the attack by the USA and Israel, while he was there he saw humanity explode, “from 6:00 pm we avoided going out on the street, then from 8:00 pm, in short, a lot of people died that people have no idea about – in an unbelievable way because the demonstrations were very peaceful, except that there were plainclothes police officers mixed in among the protesters and They killed young people aged 20 to 30 in an unbelievable way, with a gun to the head from behind, young people, children and public figures, former football players… I knew one of them, he played against me three years ago here, he was with his family, they shot his wife too, the girl too”. Full report.
A, who does not necessarily need to be a journalist because that is what she is brilliantly every day in the newsroom of CNN Portugal, after all Democracy lives in light, Joana Azevedo Viana succeeded because two Iranian women managed to break it too, one of them told Joana, “on the 7th and 8th of January people took to the streets to shout for Pahlavi, which led to an unprecedented repression by the regime”, it is V. who tells this, it is V. and not a full name and surname because the fear of suffering reprisals remains, V. continues the report, “a huge number of people took to the streets – around 40 thousand”, V. explains that “many were injured” but that wasn’t even the worst because “many didn’t return home”, they disappeared, a euphemism that darkness uses for death.
V. is from Meshed, birthplace of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (1939-2026), and who will be succeeded by his son – Mojtaba Khamenei is -, V. is from Meshed and after those January days, V. was confronted with this, “from friends of mine who work in hospitals I heard reports of countless cases of , the images and videos that came to light were unbearable”, V. is an architect by profession and a woman of condition, “being a woman in an Islamic society governed by Islamic laws is the most difficult thing in the world, they control every aspect of our humanity – our clothes, our way of thinking, even the way we speak – and many of our natural rights have been violated to such an extent that it has become normal for us and we no longer even consider them as rights we deserve”, journalism also serves this purpose, to denounce and to show that the world we believe in is the world in which being a woman should be the easiest thing in the world – that is not it, another example, “after having refused to sing the Iranian national anthem – a gesture interpreted as betrayal by the most radical sectors of the country -, some players from the Iranian women’s team were seen making the international sign asking for help”, the story is told, “save our girls”, says, apparently.
Meanwhile, it was learned that – there are images of the wreckage -, a senior Iranian official told CNN that Israel’s attacks on oil and fuel depots lead to, as for us in Portugal, we already know that the increase in the price of diesel and gasoline is a direct consequence, although this is raising doubts because – but the price of fuel has increased even “abruptly”, the reasons for this are listed; What is not yet listed is which prices will rise after these, rises in the prices of gasoline and diesel are harbingers of other rises, there is already evidence of this – -, there is also news of thousands of people who have had to leave their homes, “the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees indicates that the places where they live due to the offensive by the United States and Israel in Iran, the Iranian regime’s retaliation against third countries in the Persian Gulf and the war between Pakistan and the Taliban”, about refugees there is a sequence of disarming phrases that come from a delicate book by an exiled poet,
Questions: What does ‘refugee’ mean?
They will tell you: He is the one who is torn from his homeland.
Questions: What does ‘homeland’ mean?
They will tell you: The house, the mulberry tree, the chicken coop, the beehive, the smell of bread and the first sky.
Questions: In such a small word, all of this fits, but can’t we?
It’s by Mahmoud Darwich (1941-2008) – or Mahmoud Darwish, the spelling varies depending on whether the translation is Francophone or Anglophone -, writers and poets have this profoundly effective way of translating the mysteries of the world into words, art humanizes us while with weapons we kill ourselves, “For each Nuclear Power Plant you need a lot of poets and artists, otherwise we’re f*d*ed even before the bomb explodes” – this is the phrase that even comes from the book of short stories “Feliz Ano Novo” by Rubem Fonseca (1925-2020), that phrase at the beginning of this newsletter was just a creative derivation but still a democratically valid derivation, Rubem may he forgive us; and the use of asterisks in f*d*dos is a matter of modesty because Rubem didn’t do it, he exposes the swear word in full because the circumstance of being written in a book of stories allows it – but convention and good manners require that swear words sometimes have an asterisk in newsletters like this one, in the same way that convention and good manners presuppose that when paying homage to the dead you don’t wear a golf or baseball hat on your head. , , the ceremony took place on Saturday, about this Fox News did this: in news it gave on the subject, and instead of always using Saturday’s images to report the arrival of soldiers fallen in combat, Fox used old images of Trump without a hat in a solemn session other than that, : “On Sunday afternoon, after the misleading use of the old video was reported on social media, (…) Fox used parts of the video recorded on Saturday in a subsequent report but the images were edited to show only the ballot boxes covered by the US flag, without showing images of Trump wearing the hat.”
In other words: “For every war you need a lot of great leaders, otherwise we are f*d*ed even before the bomb explodes”, did you see the imprecision in Portuguese?, there is no preposition contraction before an infinitive clause, it should be “we are f*d*ed even before the bomb explodes”, “de a Bomb” and not “da Bomb”, but “de a Bomb” kills the rhythm of the sentence, “da Bomb” safeguards the phonetics of thought, in short: as a writer who musically violating the rules is a reason for admiration, this is what makes the Language advance, a politician who does what he wants with the rules is a reason for division, this is what leaves the world in a military impasse but also an economic one – there is “”. Regardless of this: the bombs will continue to explode and take lives, the proposition is therefore infinitive – maintain the war.
