“...vestiges of a colonialism that we thought was completely

Argentinian President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner
on
the Bolivian President Evo Morales' 'plane' harrassment
Peep again, my good peops. Entirely excusable if you thought the above quote emanated from this blog. Nah. In one swoop of a concise sentence, the premier Argentinian Head of State has declared the whole of South American leadership in a H2Omeloncholy™ 'state' of mind.
This subject of freedom of movement just won't seem to let us be. Count it down, cuz: third post in a row on the subject - not by design - but by the flow or 'current' events.

One must beseech thy pardon for an indulgent description of the offense below. This blog is assured that readers return for no exposé, but op ed. You keep it real and know da deal. Howeva, this incident is so fresh that nigh extinct ink is still wet on traditional print media. On the eve of 'Merica's Independence Fest, the following example of H2Omeloncholy™
South American leadership stands today in commendable solidarity. What is commendable is their condemnation of an international diss of their autonomy. They ain't havin' it and the 'developed' world had bett recanize. An animated Justice League of leaders have flown to the defense of President Evo Morales after his 'plane' was refused airspace to refuel by France and Spain and Portugal and Italy. The aircraft was eventually rerouted to Vienna where Austrian authorities detained/delayed the 'plane' for reportedly fourteen hours which included a search of the 'body' of said plane. Sum'in be afoot...that shoulda been in flight.
(One's usage of ironic quotes and italicizing is robust this post. For that, one begs thy pardon. If granted, may a thousand melon seeds of gratitude find you and yours. One's keyboard etiquette, however, is at a loss when life does not imitate art as much as infiltrate - kinetically - our culture's creative dimension or backward asstral plane. Will try to keep such punctuation - that which defies the conventional realm of pop poli-correctitude - to a dull roar. And yet the Kabbalah-curious in one can promise ye Nothing.)
President Evo Morales of Bolivia...thaz elected President...had departed Russia after attending a meeting on the exportation of natural gas. There, he expressed an openness - not decision - gentlesoulfolk, but mere receptivity to granting political asylum to intelligence-leaker-fugitive, Edward Snowdon. A seed of suspicion was not only planted but took root and crawled across the melon-shaped clouds of the European skyways.
Perhaps like Oprah in a Hermès boutique...(My bad. The following simile would only be applicable had Hermès - in 2005 - allowed Ms. Winfrey admittance to cross ova the commerce threshold and experience the privilege of perusing their coveted handbags. Such was not the 'case'. Although, for the sake of a substantive metaphor, shall we not pretend Oprah Winfrey made it - in?) Doffing our collective, restrictive thinking cap - then - for wildest tendrils of imagination, picture global authorities taking the equivalent positionality of elitist clerks 'smartly' clothed in French-cuffed condescension. These taste makers followed President Morales around the 'store', i.e., body of the 'plane'. He - both sovereign statesman and human being who happens to hold the highest office in any country - was suspected of harboring Mr. Snowdon.
Space. Up in the air or elsewhere. And how we groove thru it - oft at some peril . 'In', we doth spin - before our stasis. We can be a billionaire peepin' just outside the window or right at the center. Our presence can be antagonizingly unwelcome, resulting in resistance, and thereby initially targeted. H2Omeloncholic™, we inhabit space with a value validated most - if at all - by our own autonomy. Contrary to world underestimation, we neva check ourselves with fellow, unidentified cargo. We concede to security and keep Self close, carrying ourselves on. Fuel is taken for granted until access to it is removed by some rumor of that same resistance which we knew better than to offer passage.
One refuses to justify the suspicions of Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Austria, and maybe others in the volatile EU by addressing the absence of Mr. Snowdon aboard. Such inadvertently mimics the U.S. State Department who declined to confirm or deny if the numerous EU nations had acted upon their/our instruction:
Hey, tongues are held for a plethora of 'sensitive, secretive' reasons. If this blog won't 'go there', my country is entitled thus. One prefers to reserve judgment. Still, one is most grateful for the above quote as it sharpens - down to its nub - every other Crayola in da-big-ol'-box to color me H2Omeloncholy™.
President Morales, a dignitary, was not window shopping down some exclusive, luxury row for a new briefcase to attend aG8...er-uh...G20 function. Not a member. And maybe that is the H2Omeloncholic™ point. Invisible. Save the border-crossing glare of suspicion. The 'plane' (French, by the by, with a French pilot) did not request nor require any form of international clearance. Sum'in as basic as fuel was withheld - until it was not - but then searched on the presumption of guilt. The subjection to this nebulous assumption (like 'cloud' above, yo) is the crux of H2Omeloncholy™. Shall we review? Hold up, let one first stop dabbing this melon stain as doing so is not removing it but only making it worse. O-tay, now for our review:
The arrogance to act upon this dissOrientalized equation - and with such rote compliance by an unapologetic international 'community' insistent upon POSTnessity - is best articulated thru deference to another President - of Argentina. Her quote bodes repeating. Feels almost esoterically apropos to begin and end a post with words in echo. The fact that such a chorus raises the roof atop otherwise, stateless H2Omeloncholia™ is far less dismissive of Latin America than it is further disheartening to Sense. Whateva that sense is worth and would that it were common, one senses the rarest, exported delicacy is authentic equality.
