MAMOUDOU

Image
I n Paris, Mamoudou Gassama, an illegal resident coming from Mali, climbs barehanded in 30 seconds up to the balcony of a fifth floor and saves the life of a 4 years old child hanging in the air. That heroic act earns him on the spot dazzling fame and allows him to earn the French nationality. What an achievement! Internaute.com   « I was afraid, but I did not think at anything, I just thought about saving him, and thank God, I saved him. And then, we entered the apartment, I began to shake, I could not stand on my two feet anymore» he explained, all moved. If all human beings cannot be like Mamoudou, it is not because we lack energy; what we lack very often is the spark. That spark resides in the heart of the humble of the Earth who risk their life each day to carve for themselves a little place on the planet. Used to storm    mountains deemed insurmountable, it is not the five stories of a building in Paris that will frighten them. Our...

A SELDOM SEEN VISIT IN JERUSALEM

Image
Pic.:Tracy Johnson I had a dream. The chief Rabbi, the chief Mufti, Benjamin and Mahmoud took their seats around the negotiations table. They are waiting for Trump. But, instead of Trump, it is God in person who presents himself at the meeting (he had not showed himself in the region for ages…) The negotiations have not yet begun that already daggers are being drawn with one another: -  Jerusalem is the capital of the Jews! -   No it is that of the Palestinians! -   We arrived here 3000 years ago! -   You were away for 2000 years and we came.     It is from this place that Mohammed went to heaven... God sighs, the Temple of the Mount shakes. Total silence. God takes the floor:   I will be short. In your opinion, dear Jews, Jerusalem is your eternal capital. But here we have a little problem: your temple that was destroyed by the Romans 20 centuries ago, you are dreaming of rebuilding it on the sa...

NOTRE PASSÉ JUDÉO-CHRÉTIEN

Image
Les nouveaux curés et les nouvelles prêtresses de la pensée correcte de notre Québec n’en finissent pas de blâmer l’abominable Église catholique pour tout ce qui est croche dans notre petit monde québécois. Notre côté bougon, quétaine, « grand parleux-p’tit faiseux » ; notre méfiance maladive à l’égard des riches et notre rapport trouble au sexe et au progrès, tout cela nous viendrait de ce passé judéo-chrétien que l’Église, la mère de tous les maux,  nous aurait vissé dans les os et planté entre les deux oreilles pour les siècles des siècles. C’est en mettre gros sur le dos de l’Église. Il me semble que le défrichage d’un pays extrêmement rude et notre soumission forcée à un conquérant riche et méprisant (pourtant aussi judéo-chrétien que nous), nous ont cassé les reins autrement plus sûrement que les commandements de Dieu et de l’Église. Quand du haut de la chaire l’Église martelait que l’argent était la source de tous les maux et ne devait pas ê...

SAINT HEROD Political story with known characters.   Tired of being thought of as a baby eater, king Herod converts to religion. Perched on a golden palanquin held up by twelve slaves, he goes to the Crib of Bethlehem to adore the Infant God. The stench of the place is nauseating and nearly suffocates him. He tears his shirt as a mark of disgust and cries out with a slight cough: ««By the beard of Abraham, what a shame! And what a way of welcoming God on Earth!». He kicks out the shepherds, the sheep and other creatures, takes the holy family under his wing, sets the stable on fire and goes back to Jerusalem. He himself carries the infant Jesus in his arms, tickles him, cradles him and becomes so fond of the kid that it did not take time before he adopted him as a son and make him heir to his throne. Joseph, like his famous ancestor carrying the same name, is appointed prime minister of the kingdom, and Mary, as First Lady, is given the sweet task of dispensing priv...

CASTRO THE MYTHICAL

Internet                     No oppressor is good, and no oppressed is bad Fidel, I do not want to offend you, but I am asking myself how come you let Nelson Mandela overtake you... The apartheid regime of South Africa was maybe more cruel than the one laying to waste Cuba under the thumb of Batista and of his mafiosi yankees. Under the inspiration of the CIA (her again!), the criminals who were ransacking and pillaging South Africa took hold of Mandela and had him imprisoned. For 27 years, he suffered hell. But in jail, Mandela grew up, so much so that in the eyes of the people he became a hero as popular as you in Cuba.    When he came out of that inferno, he could have only to snap his fingers so that the people rise up and make a stew with the oppressors. But Nelson did not chose that path. He chose to initiate a revolution light years away from yours. Animated by an inner strength that he had develo...

DRAGON

My dear Dragon, in any case, of all the dragons of the world, you are the most wonderful!  Your mother was an exquisite sausage princess who had a sulphurous affair with a police dog…From that atomic fusion, dear Dragon, you were born as the synthesis of the thesis and the antithesis. With you the conflict of the opposites is over and the eternal battle between the intelligence and the stick comes to an end. When you entered my life in Tilcara, some thirty-five years ago, you were only a puppy given by a nice boy of the village to my son Edu. He and I welcomed you, filled with joy, like a little star fallen from above.   Your childhood was a non-stop running of mischievousness and laughs. With the time, you sat down and you became my secretary and confidant. After dinner, lying like a mat on the floor you would listen with patience the monologues in Spanish and in French of the incorrigible dreamer that I always have been. At times, you would look at me with bo...
