Portugal e a Grécia
Nós estamos num estado comparável apenas à Grécia: a mesma pobreza, a mesma indignidade política, a mesma trapalhada economica, a mesma baixeza de carácter, a mesma decadência de espírito. Nos livros estrangeiros, nas revistas quando se fala num país caótico e que pela sua decadência progressiva, poderá vir a ser riscado do mapa da Europa, citam-se em paralelo, a Grécia e Portugal" - Eça de Queirós In As Farpas. Há 140 anos já se sabia....
Burlados
As cruéis medidas tomadas pelo governo transformaram a vida dos portugueses numa tortura diária, uma vivência miserável e sem perspectivas de futuro, contando os cêntimos que sobram depois do assalto feito em nome da troika aos seus parcos ganhos, enquanto a elite nem beliscada é, completamente a leste do sofrimento do povo, vive despreocupada e incólume. As filas à porta dos centros do IEFP contornam as esquinas das ruas, centenas aguardam, olhando para os pés, à espera que as portas se abram, gastando as manhãs na tristeza de uma realidade imposta, defraudados sem misericórdia, burlados pelo seu próprio país.

Ora havia uma almofada que afinal não há porque os gnomos levaram a almofada e deixaram a fronha. É mais ou menos assim que o povo ouve as explicações dadas para, de repente, o défice ficar aquém do esperado. Já agora, ninguém opina sobre como é que um documento interno do Ministro Gaspar está nas mãos de todos? Não se tomarão novas medidas de austeridade diz o Ministro. Pois pois. Também não se iria despedir ninguém...fazem-se é rescisões amigáveis, de facto isso não é despedir. A modos que..é uma verdade mentirosa..ou uma mentira verdadeira...no fundo tem algo de verdade. Uma palavra aos meus amigos advogados e juristas, estejamos atentos em 2012 a esse caranguejo do Alasca chamado Caixa de Previdência de Advogados e Solicitadores. Pitéu!

Extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race - Official White House
Official White House Response to formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race - Disclosure.
Searching for ET, But No Evidence Yet
By Phil Larson
Searching for ET, But No Evidence Yet
By Phil Larson
Thank you for signing the petition asking the Obama Administration to acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.
The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye.
However, that doesn't mean the subject of life outside our planet isn't being discussed or explored. In fact, there are a number of projects working toward the goal of understanding if life can or does exist off Earth. Here are a few examples:
SETI—the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence—was originally stood up with help from NASA, but has since been moved to other sources of private funding. SETI's main purpose is to act as a giant ear on behalf of the human race, pointing an array of ground-based telescopes towards space to listen for any signal from another world.

Kepler is a NASA spacecraft in orbit that's main goal is to search for Earth-like planets. Such a planet would be located in the "Goldilocks" zone of a distant solar system—not too hot and not too cold—and could potentially be habitable by life as we know it. The Kepler mission is specifically designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover Earth-sized, rocky planets in or near the habitable zone of the star (sun) they orbit.
The Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity, is an automobile-sized rover that NASA is launching soon. The rover's onboard laboratory will study rocks, soils, and other geology in an effort to detect the chemical building blocks of life (e.g., forms of carbon) on Mars and will assess what the Martian environment was like in the past to see if it could have harbored life.
A last point: Many scientists and mathematicians have looked with a statistical mindset at the question of whether life likely exists beyond Earth and have come to the conclusion that the odds are pretty high that somewhere among the trillions and trillions of stars in the universe there is a planet other than ours that is home to life.
Many have also noted, however, that the odds of us making contact with any of them—especially any intelligent ones—are extremely small, given the distances involved.
But that's all statistics and speculation. The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.

What the hell am I doing here?
I’m continuing my endeavour towards professional misery and one step ahead towards personal freedom. What a conundrum! All the efforts I’ve been putting in solving the ditch my life had become were like slow, erratic strokes in an unfinished dark self-portrait. I am officially on a quest towards becoming what I am: who am I and what is my mission and my purpose in life? I have some clues: since I was a small child I dreamed of becoming first an actor and then involved in creating movies, like a director or someone who could live the tails, speak the dialogue, and embody the magic, wow the viewer with the power of my creativity. My first great movie was ET. This movie touched me deeply, more than the story, actors and all the sobbing did. Made me realize that I wanted to go with ET, and become part of my story, my adventure. This evolved towards loving the idea of going inside the movies. Now it stays the same, only I try to create stories and imagine filming them and being happy all the time.
Another truth of mine is that I love paranormal stuff, more related towards life after death and also UFO lore. Looking at the stars and imagining being among them, the planets, immersed in the majesty of the universe, brings me peace, fulfillment and stillness. Sometimes I get the feeling that I am really not from this planet since I miss something in the sky which is beyond my grasp. Also that I am here for a purpose which I am still looking for…
One night I asked myself for some time, about my personal life at the time, separating from my partner towards divorce. I discovered that in my previous lives, many, many lives, I’ve been doing the same pivotal decision over and over again: to divorce or continue the marriage. I got the information that what I did in this lifetime is the correct choice for this life, meaning to divorce and go our separate ways. Love is not there any more, for me, to stay would mean to lie to myself and continue the path of previous existences. Did I choose correctly? Yes because there is no love in me and my being tells me so. What I decided, I decided by myself. No other energy, but my one. I listened to myself, quietly, and the answer was clear.
So, who am I and what am I doing on this life, my purpose? Still fighting every day to find out those magical answers. I need them. My soul cries for them. I have to keep trying. I have to do something…but I am scared of the future consequences of some decisions if they are incorrect. But I also know there are no incorrect decisions. They are all my decisions and therefore valid, because they are mine, only for me, what I want and need, not because of third parties or pressures. MINE. If I leave my job or be released from it, how can I pay all my expenses? I can’t leave my job because I have to face all the expenses surrounding me. But on the other hand I am not doing enough to pursue my life quest, at least start in the direction of what I think is my life quest, and at least start trying to answer the 2 questions.
I am…. I am….my purpose is….today I am a soul and my purpose is to fulfill my soul. Fulfill myself. It is a start….
