    There's no escape.
    The big pricks are out.
    They'll fuck everything in sight.
    Watch your back.

    Harold Pinter


    Weather Forecast

    The day will get off to a cloudy start.
    It will be quite chilly
    But as the day progresses
    The sun will come out
    And the afternoon will be dry and warm.

    In the evening the moon will shine
    And be quite bright.
    There will be, it has to be said,
    A brisk wind
    But it will die out by midnight.
    Nothing further will happen.

    This is the last forecast.

    Harold Pinter

    Já agora, e também sobre o Pinter...

    House of Commons Speech - Tuesday 21st January 2003

    One of the more nauseating images of the year 2002 is that of our Prime Minister kneeling in the church on Christmas Day praying for peace on earth and good will towards all men while simultaneously preparing to assist in the murder of thousands of totally innocent people in Iraq.

    I've been taken to task recently by the American Ambassador to Britain for calling the US Administration a blood thirsty wild animal. All I can say is: take a look at Donald Rumsfeld's face and the case is made.

    I believe that not only is this contemplated act criminal, malevolent and barbaric, it also contains within itself a palpable joy in destruction. Power, as has often been remarked, is the great aphrodisiac, and so, it would seem, is the death of others.

    The Americans have the ostensible support of the 'international community' through various sure-fire modes of intimidation; bullying, bribery, blackmail and bullshit. The 'international community' becomes a degraded entity bludgeoned into the service of a brutal military force out of control. The most despicable position is that of course of this country which pretends to stand shoulder to shoulder with its great ally while in fact being more of a whipped dog than anyone else. We are demeaned, undermined and dishonoured by our government's contemptible subservience to the United States.

    The planned war can only bring about the collapse of what remains of the Iraqi infrastructure, widespread death, mutilation and disease, an estimated one million refugees and escalation of violence throughout the world, but it will still masquerade as a 'moral crusade', a 'just war', a war waged by 'freedom loving democracies', to bring 'democracy' to Iraq.

    The stink of the hypocrisy is suffocating.

    This is in reality a simple tale of invasion of sovereign territory, military occupation and control of oil.

    We have a clear obligation, which is to resist.

    Harold Pinter

    Seis anos passados. A actuação das "freedom loving democracies" continua por esse mundo fora. Nauseabunda e com os olhos da morte entranhados nos rosto mas isso é só o caminho necessário e inevitável como alguns querem fazer crer.
