LA MALINCHE

The "Women" Thing

 

Today, on the anniversary of Katrina, we see its ghost (Hurricane Isaac) pummeling New Orleans.  The second day (third day, really) of their Shindig closes, and angry white Repoobs revel in Tampa.  Tonight they will parade a curious collection of women to shield them from the image of tribalism they have been projecting.

 Two of the women are Condoleeza Rice and Governor Martinez of New Mexico.  So far the Repoobs have ignored the economy to focus on their hatred for President Obama.  Boehner, McConnell, and Governor Barbour (whose state is also being impacted by Isaac) have paraded before the cameras to vent their bile against the President; while failing to offer any solutions to our problems as a nation.

 

Those of you who know the history of Mexico, also know of Malinche

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Malinche.  Those who know of the history of race in the Americas know that Cortes, who brought  us most of the historical evils of the Spanish invasion; to include chattel slavery, would almost surely have failed in his attempt to conquer Mexico without the support of Malinche.  Condoleeza provided  "cover" for the Bush Administration as they fumbled our protection on 9/11.  Gov. Martinez may be setting the stage for a similar fate for "Hispanics" at the hands of global financiers, brought to us courtesy of Mitt and the Repoobs.

What lies behind the tendency of people to betray their own?  Check out Henry Bamford Parkes' book: "A History of Mexico", 3rd Ed., Houghton Mifflin, 1960.  It is about the best and most thorough history of Mexico, from the arrival of the Aztecs through all key events up to 1940.  This shows in detail how closely Cortes came to failure, and the role played by La Malinche.

A famous artist, Thomas Satterwhite Noble

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Satterwhite_Noble painted "The Price of Blood" which depicts the fundamental flaw in our national psyche that permits greed to trump humanity.  See

http://themorris.org/ourcollection/noble-price.html which undergirds the tribalism we now see on display by Repoobs.  The action depicted in the painting is traced to the Biblical story of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac.

Stay Vigilant !  Chilling, isn't it?
