Skin Colored Bumps On Body
material resources are not spared neither human, nor effort, and obsessive planning. The 33 miners returned to the surface with very few (and minor) physical symptoms for the 70-day ordeal and mortification. And apparently with few psychological trauma for the claustrophobic anxiety about death and statistically almost assumed inevitable, except in the limit, there when Delta X tends not know how long, which almost never happens, except the ever elusive and mathematical theory and infinite zeros. A recurring job that tomb naturalized reality mining in Chile and we dedicate a cover of this newspaper a few Sundays. This will be for this limited and inflection of the standard media: that of the mass grave was not this time. Because Pinochet revived found a gold vein ideological veneer that seek their death and brass escutcheons rusty. More valuable even than the atom 79 of the periodic table of the elements of Mendeleyev: the elusive physical gold was exhausted in minute proportions in
Mine San Jose, appealing for it at the highest occupational hazard in the use of brute human strength. It is understood then the government efforts to exploit that vein that promises huge profits symbolic and political rejuvenation miracle, the best style of Dorian Gray reflected in the prose of Oscar Wilde. however should not stop to greet and congratulate the rescue operation and its results even though it was concocted and executed by the current thugs (not so far in the future) terrorist state. Saving lives, tender hands (or duct) attached, to provide creative minds and innovations, safeguards and rights, excluding the assignment exceeds the bitter left to reach a level suprapolítico and universal. Although these steps are taken by the most criminal of the right to try to disguise or bleached with it, will be celebrated and accompany them. As the hand that could lay any criminal habitually U.S. Marines also victims buried, but then under rubble and slabs, the earthquake in Haiti. Nor should we recommend to rein in emotional eruptions emanating from the dormant volcano often Justice, nor fear the potential political cauterization of lava. Tears are not necessary sign of political weakness or irrationality. May also accompany births, even historical.
If the media billionaire turned politician knew calculate proportions between costs and benefits of their own, better yet knew where the investment was with outside resources, although there is nothing to wonder about the appeal of these financial sources. While millions were spent to state vital ejection of miners from the filthy damp and dark tunnel, but the political dividends deposited provisionally Piñera accounts. This game was played in the Chilean president's camp and their own rules. Under these conditions blackmailed the survival of the 33 workers. The world then attended one of the largest media operations in the history of communications. The right-wing endorsed a sufficient just cause dramatic charge and took it to catch on and spread with the most modern techniques of video politics that characterized the Italian political scientist Giovanni Sartori. Precisely those with which the entrepreneur built his business and eventually won the presidency. Effective doses of soap opera mixed, reporting, technological input and superstition. A huge global audience of one billion people, even higher than that of the South African World Cup final, according to estimates TV Chile, recognized the narrative between magical and restorative. Special programs competed in audience with the most frivolous and tellers and all news channels geometrically increased its rating in the world. Much more so in English because it was not necessary translation and environmental audio, masterfully calibrated in seemingly casual, spontaneous intimacy, not let out any details before the official speeches scripted. Even those who do not have television ended up leaning on the bars of pubs empantallados by the current fashions. In order to prevent any diversion of the narrative script, the government monopolized all communication, whether from within the television media partners only to the press. Plotted at the camp "Hope" a literal barrier handcuffed journalistic work.
Security (ACHS), Codelco (the mining company was nationalized by Salvador Allende), companies that operated the drilling (as Geotec) and ministries involved. Secom The official reports only reduced the daily press conference of the Ministers of Mines, Laurence Golborne (who went from supermarket a successor to Piñera), and Health, Jaime Mañalich, plus the head of rescue, André Sougarret. Finally came the president to personally take only official discourse, broadcast to the world by the official media product.
remote from my childhood in the year 69 when Apollo 11 landing on the moon , I had the feeling of being simultaneously shared with much of the world through a single, monopolistic half , anxiety and uncertainty of the steps that were given in real time, or the subjective feeling of cardinal importance of the event. It was well before the destruction of the Twin Towers, so sudden and unexpected event, on par with its tragic character and consummated. I suspect that the moon and the bottom of the mine have in common some implausibility and remoteness, and inhospitable elusive away, always opposed to real, everyday world, and visually related gestalt that this Gómez Armstrong. It even seemed that the speed of the rescue capsule kept pace with advertising requirements. The television entrepreneur, and rescue in action even more simplified and unified message. Stripped of the technical details need to emphasized its interpretation of the event, explained his wishes and even confessed his supernatural abilities. On the one hand made a generic claim and recognition of job insecurity and its interest in the need to transform that reality, something denied by the continuity of working conditions in mining. Furthermore, repeated the mantra somnifera cloyingly national unity is a major ideological impediments to establish differences in the political responsibilities to the worker mortality. Finally, to display their supernatural ability to interpret through the crudest stereotypes of ability to communicate with God and to interpreting the meaning of every tear, every gesture, every hug. The result was immediate. According to a recent poll, his approval rating has jumped ten spots to reach 56%. By way of a good actor, he built a character with a dose of ethical leader, resolving and principled attitude to life, at the same time righteous to punish those responsible for the accident that trapped the innocent workers. Tried to maintain that in the San José mine had an accident irresponsibility product isolated from their owners, bypassing by-case basis in addition to that accident, in Chile there were more than 31 other accidents so far this year, which killed 35 workers , two more than they could constrained in this opportunity, as the Department of Geology and Mining (Sernageomin).
takes a lot more than the hypocrisy of a wealthy joker to reverse the long list of tragedies in the Chilean mining and exalted by Neruda against mine Sewell. But the phenomenon is not just Chile. Today there were two miners sought in the region in Colombia TOPOG where another has just died.
turn in Ecuador are trapped workers 4 150 meters deep in a mine in the Ecuadorian province of El Oro, 750 kilometers of Quito. Meanwhile there are other two hundred and thirty employees of the mining company that owns the mine that had the good fortune of not being there that day, but they are hostages of irresponsibility. They are nothing: not the check or paid (as at 33 but with less visibility). If employed with another employer could obtain complicarseles of compensation. The miners marched for the third time in the middle of Copiapo asking also that the months are owed pay and bonuses. The government, despite the discourse of Piñera noting that real wealth was not mine, but miners and would intervene by modifying working conditions, even before this shameful involved reviewing expropriation of the workers. Even ratify it, with the already mentioned information monopoly that silences protest. To the extent that they are not even allowed workers to be close to the stage of rescue, or camping with the family, so they can return to meet with their peers. Most saw him on television, as all recipients of the speech of this South American Berlusconi.
