| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: The true life of Pablo Escobar Astrid Maria Legarda Martinez, 2017-11-24 Hello beautiful. I am Popeye. In 1998 I met Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez—alias Popeye—lieutenant to the Medellín Cartel's leader, Pablo Escobar Gaviria. Our first encounter was at the high security yard of the Modelo Prison in Bogotá, Colombia. I visited the prison frequently as a journalist for RCN TV. I was always conducting interviews and speaking to the inmates, uncovering news about what was really happening inside the prison. At that time, stories about confrontations between guerrilla and paramilitary factions were everyday news. You could often hear shots inside the prison as the different sides fought for control. I had always wanted to meet one of the members of the Medellín Cartel. I was curious to know who they were, what they looked like, and what these men, who belonged to the most powerful drug cartel that has ever existed in Colombia, were thinking. At the high security yard I was able to talk with two of them. The most notorious was Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez. Hello beautiful. I am Popeye. The man who sat in front of me stared at me. His pale skin reflected the six years he had been in prison; in fact, it looked as if he had never once stepped outside. Popeye smiled at me with curiosity while his cold eyes examined me from head to toe. We were introduced by another inmate, Ángel Gaitán Mahecha, a man accused of paramilitarism and homicide. My first impression was surprise and curiosity; I also examined him from head to toe. He wasn't quite six feet tall. His slim body and the smile on his face almost put me at ease. I thought this man couldn't possibly frighten anyone, and yet I couldn't forget the number of homicides in which he had been involved. I wanted to see into the mind of the man who planned and participated in the most horrible homicides that the cartel had carried out in their war against the state. |

He cumplido a la sociedad con mi larga condena, pero quizá no haya alcanzado su indulgencia... ¡Cuánto he vivido, por Dios...! Sobreviví a Pablo Escobar Gaviria, el Patrón, y fue la fuerza de su indomable espíritu la que, no sé bien ni cómo ni para qué, me sostuvo a lo largo de estos años, pues su presencia sigue marcando cada día de mi existencia. Los crímenes del Cartel de Medellín pesan, igual que ayer, sobre mis hombros. Mi juventud perdida en el crimen se transformó en la espada que pende sobre mi encanecida cabeza. Para el mundo siempre seré alias Popeye, el sicario del temible Cartel de Medellín, el hombre de confianza de Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria... Cómo decirles que soy un hombre nuevo... que 23 años preso en este infierno transformaron al hombre que fui. |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Women & Power Mary Beard, 2017-11-02 An updated edition of the Sunday Times Bestseller Britain's best-known classicist Mary Beard, is also a committed and vocal feminist. With wry wit, she revisits the gender agenda and shows how history has treated powerful women. Her examples range from the classical world to the modern day, from Medusa and Athena to Theresa May and Hillary Clinton. Beard explores the cultural underpinnings of misogyny, considering the public voice of women, our cultural assumptions about women's relationship with power, and how powerful women resist being packaged into a male template. A year on since the advent of #metoo, Beard looks at how the discussions have moved on during this time, and how that intersects with issues of rape and consent, and the stories men tell themselves to support their actions. In trademark Beardian style, using examples ancient and modern, Beard argues, 'it's time for change - and now!' From the author of international bestseller SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome. |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Unbreakable Jenni Rivera, 2013-07-02 The story behind Telemundo’s Jenni Rivera: Mariposa del Barrio series, now streaming. A New York Times bestseller, this is the official biography from the beloved Mexican-American singer who lost her life in a tragic plane crash. The only autobiography authorized by Jenni Rivera I can’t get caught up in the negative because that destroys you. Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do. I am a woman like any other, and ugly things happen to me like any other woman. The number of times I have fallen down is the number of times I have gotten up. These are the last words that beloved Mexican American singer Jenni Rivera spoke publicly before boarding the plane that would crash and cut her life short on December 9, 2012. However, they are not the final words that La Diva de la Banda had for the world. Those are found in the pages you hold in your hands, Jenni’s own account of the highs and lows of her extraordinary journey. She became the most acclaimed Spanish-language singer in the United States and sold more than 15 million records worldwide. A single mother of five and grandmother of two, she was also an actress, a television producer, the star of her own reality show, and an entrepreneur. But for all its immense success, Jenni’s life often seemed to be a series of personal battles in which perseverance was her only weapon. As her fame grew, she made it her mission to speak about her struggles, forging an intimate connection with her fans. She became a figure of strength and a source of encouragement to women of all ages. In Unbreakable, Jenni recounts the crucial moments in her past, revealing her experiences with domestic and sexual abuse, divorce, body image issues, making her way in a male-dominated industry, raising her children as a single mother, and learning that she could depend only on herself. Though she is no longer with us, Jenni will always be the Rivera rebel from Long Beach, the girl who maintained her sense of humor and fighting spirit in every circumstance. In this remarkable memoir, Jenni leaves behind a legacy of inspiration and determination that will forever live on through her precious family, friends, and fans. |

| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Pablo Escobar and Colombian Narcoculture Aldona Bialowas Pobutsky, 2020-03-18 How the legacy of Pablo Escobar inspired the development of narcoculture in Colombia and around the world In the years since his death in 1993, Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar has become a globally recognized symbol of crime, wealth, power, and masculinity. In this long-overdue exploration of Escobar’s impact on popular culture, Aldona Bialowas Pobutsky shows how his legacy inspired the development of narcoculture—television, music, literature, and fashion representing the drug-trafficking lifestyle—in Colombia and around the world. Pobutsky looks at the ways the “Escobar brand” surfaces in bars, restaurants, and clothing lines; in Colombia’s tourist industry; and in telenovelas, documentaries, and narco memoirs about his life, which in turn have generated popular interest in other drug traffickers such as Griselda Blanco and Miami’s “cocaine cowboys.” Pobutsky illustrates how the Colombian state strives to erase his memory while Escobar’s notoriety only continues to increase in popular culture through the transnational media. She argues that the image of Escobar is inextricably linked to Colombia’s internal tensions in the areas of cocaine politics, gender relations, class divisions, and political corruption and that his “brand” perpetuates the country’s reputation as a center of organized crime, to the dismay of the Colombian people. This book is a fascinating study of how the world perceives Colombia and how Colombia’s citizens understand their nation’s past and present.

| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Surviving Pablo Escobar Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez, 2017-05-03 I've begged God for forgiveness, but I won't know till the day I die if He has truly forgiven me ... I've paid my dues to society by serving my long sentence, but perhaps I haven't earned His indulgence ... Oh my God, I've lived so many different lives! I survived Pablo Escobar Gaviria, El Patrón (The Boss), and it was the strength of his indomitable spirit that kept me going all these years; I don't quite know how or why. I still feel his presence every day of my existence. The Medellin cartel's crimes weigh as heavily on my shoulders today as they did yesterday. My youth, wasted in crime, became the sword that now hangs over my graying head. To the world, I'll always be known by my alias, Popeye, the fearsome hitman of the Medellin cartel, Pablo Escobar Gaviria's right-hand man ... How can I make you understand I'm a new man ... that twenty-three years behind bars in that hellhole have transformed the person I once was. Now the freedom I yearned for is vanishing in the murderous hands of my enemies. Perhaps fate has extended my life only to toy with me by preparing my own dying moments. I survived in captivity but I don't know if I'll be able to live in freedom ... A prisoner of my own mind, I'll try to fight to find some peace ... It's very cold ... now it's August 2014. I'm one step from freedom and I'm still breathing ... still here in this dimly lit cell in the maximum security prison in Cómbita, Boyacá. |

| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Pablo Escobar Shaun Attwood, 2016-08-25 The mind-blowing true story of Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel beyond their portrayal on Netflix. Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar was a devoted family man and a psychopathic killer; a terrible enemy, yet a wonderful friend. While donating millions to the poor, he bombed and tortured his enemies - some had their eyeballs removed with hot spoons. Through ruthless cunning and America's insatiable appetite for cocaine, he became a multi-billionaire, who lived in a $100-million house with its own zoo. Pablo Escobar: Beyond Narcos demolishes the standard good versus evil telling of his story. The authorities were not hunting Pablo down to stop his cocaine business. They were taking over it. Shaun Attwood's War on Drugs trilogy - Pablo Escobar, American Made, and We Are Being Lied To - is a series of harrowing, action-packed and interlinked true stories that demonstrate the catastrophic consequences of drug prohibition. |

| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Corruption in Cuba Sergio Díaz-Briquets, Jorge Pérez-López, 2006-10-01 While Fidel Castro maintains his longtime grip on Cuba, revolutionary scholars and policy analysts have turned their attention from how Castro succeeded (and failed), to how Castro himself will be succeeded - by a new government. This is a comprehensive analysis of corruption in Cuba, and prescriptions for minimizing it in the post-Castro era. While Fidel Castro maintains his longtime grip on Cuba, revolutionary scholars and policy analysts have turned their attention from how Castro succeeded (and failed), to how Castro himself will be succeeded - by a new government. Among the many questions to be answered is how the new government will deal with the corruption that has become endemic in Cuba. Even though combating corruption cannot be the central aim of post-Castro policy, Sergio Diaz-Briquets and Jorge Perez-Lopez suggest that, without a strong plan to thwart it, corruption will undermine the new economy, erode support for the new government, and encourage organized crime. In short, unless measures are taken to stem corruption, the new Cuba could be as messy as the old Cuba. Fidel Castro did not bring corruption to Cuba; he merely institutionalized it. Official corruption has crippled Cuba since the colonial period, but Castro's state-run monopolies, cronyism, and lack of accountability have made Cuba one of the world's most corrupt states |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Manhunters Steve Murphy, Javier F. Peña, 2019-11-18 The explosive memoir of the two legendary drug enforcement agents responsible for taking down Pablo Escobar and the subject of the hit Netflix series ‘Narcos’. Javier Peña and Steve Murphy risked their lives hunting large and small drug traffickers in the decades they spent working for the US Drug Enforcement Administration. But their biggest challenge was the hunt for Pablo Escobar in Colombia. The partners, who began their careers as small-town cops, have been immortalised in Netflix’s ‘Narcos’, a fictionalised account of their hunt for Escobar. Now, for the first time, they tell the real story of how they brought down the world’s first narco-terrorist and ended the reign of terror of the world’s most wanted criminal. Manhunters takes you deep inside the inner workings of the Search Bloc, the joint Colombian-US task force that resulted in an intensive 18-month operation that tracked Escobar. Between July 1992 and December 1993, Peña and Murphy lived on the edge, setting up camp in Medellin at the Carlos Holguin Military Academy. There, they lived and worked with the Colombian authorities, hunting down a man thought to be untouchable. Their terrifying first-hand experience coupled with stories from the DEA’s de-classified files on the search for Escobar forms the beating heart of Manhunters, a gripping account of how two determined and courageous agents risked everything to capture the world's most wanted man. Praise for Manhunters ‘A riveting account of two brave DEA Agents who put their lives, along with their families’ lives, on the line to fight the war on drugs. A must read on the take down of Pablo Escobar.’ Joe Pistone, a.k.a. Donnie Brasco ‘A fast-paced tale by two agents who had the inside track on bringing down the most wanted man in recent US history.’ Bruce Porter, New York Times bestselling author of Blow ‘Steve and Javier's experience on the front lines of the war on drugs over the last thirty years made them an invaluable source of information for a narrative of one of the most complex, poorly reported, and misunderstood chapters in our recent past.’ Eric Newman, Executive Producer, ‘Narcos’ ‘Manhunters grabs you from the first page and gives you a front-row seat into the harrowing hunt for the brutal narco trafficker Pablo Escobar. Two unlikely heroes recount their stories in a way that is both compelling and captivating.’ Congresswoman Mary Bono ‘A compelling read about the adventures of two true American law enforcement heroes who ultimately took on the world’s first narco-terrorist, the world’s most wanted criminal, the world’s largest cocaine baron, Pablo Escobar, and won!’ Barbara Comstock, former congresswoman |

The handbook adopts a progressive and thematic approach, including critical accounts of dark tourism history, dark tourism philosophy and theory, dark tourism in society and culture, dark tourism and heritage landscapes, the ‘dark tourist’ experience, and the business of dark tourism. The PalgraveHandbook of Dark Tourism Studies will appeal to students and scholars with an interest in aspects of memorialisation and morality in sociology, death studies, history, geography, cultural studies, philosophy, psychology, business management, museology and heritage tourism studies, politics, religious studies, and anthropology. |

| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: An Intellectual History of Cannibalism Cătălin Avramescu, 2011-08-08 The cannibal has played a surprisingly important role in the history of thought--perhaps the ultimate symbol of savagery and degradation-- haunting the Western imagination since before the Age of Discovery, when Europeans first encountered genuine cannibals and related horrible stories of shipwrecked travelers eating each other. An Intellectual History of Cannibalism is the first book to systematically examine the role of the cannibal in the arguments of philosophers, from the classical period to modern disputes about such wide-ranging issues as vegetarianism and the right to private property. Catalin Avramescu shows how the cannibal is, before anything else, a theoretical creature, one whose fate sheds light on the decline of theories of natural law, the emergence of modernity, and contemporary notions about good and evil. This provocative history of ideas traces the cannibal's appearance throughout Western thought, first as a creature springing from the menagerie of natural law, later as a diabolical retort to theological dogmas about the resurrection of the body, and finally to present-day social, ethical, and political debates in which the cannibal is viewed through the lens of anthropology or invoked in the service of moral relativism. Ultimately, An Intellectual History of Cannibalism is the story of the birth of modernity and of the philosophies of culture that arose in the wake of the Enlightenment. It is a book that lays bare the darker fears and impulses that course through the Western intellectual tradition. |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Por qué se reciclan la corrupción y el crimen organizado en Colombia Mauricio Beltran-Cristancho, 2017-06-28 La Gran Encuesta de mediados de 2014 reportaba una desconfianza gigantesca en las instituciones públicas. Incluso, el siempre bien valorado Ejército Nacional, escasamente conseguía un 56 por ciento de aprobación. Pero lo que resultaba inédito era la creciente desconfianza de los colombianos en su justicia que se equiparaba a la consuetudinaria del Congreso: casi un 80%. Lo más grave era que esa percepción se aplicaba a las tres grandes cortes. Hechos concretos reportados extensamente por los Medios demostraban que esa percepción no se trataba de propaganda eficientemente transmitida por algún sector de la sociedad. Dos años después, el escándalo de la multinacional brasilera Odebrecht probaba que la corrupción ya era transnacional, mientras que pasaba desapercibido que el crimen organizado en América Latina también lo era desde hace más de dos décadas. Lo que si ere evidente en Colombia, era que no había departamento del país sin microtráfico y que los cultivos ilícitos alcanzarían niveles sin precedentes en el 2017. Este libro, a partir de un acto de corrupción de junio de 2007 en el Inpec, el cual pasó desapercibido para los Medios, y que está estrechamente relacionada con la desmovilización paramilitar, demuestra que el colapso de la justicia, particularmente de la criminal, no se enfrenta con más códigos penales ni con reformas constitucionales, y menos, con procesos de paz. La realidad es que la gran corrupción y el crimen organizado han encontrado en las cárceles el mecanismo silencioso para mantener sus prácticas, mientras que el grueso de los colombianos en medio de un especie de estado de naturaleza, han entendido que solo la astucia, la violencia y/o la amenaza, los puede, no solo proteger de los demás, incluso del mismo Estado, sino tener una fuente eficiente de recursos y de estatus social. |

In this explosive tale of drugs, sex, wealth and violence, Vallejo describes the man she knew and loved. But, increasingly plagued by threats of kidnap and death for her knowledge on Escobar's ties to the political establishment, Vallejo sought extradition to the United States. Her testimony would reopen one of the most important criminal cases in Colombian history. |

| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Memoirs Pablo Neruda, 2001-01-15 The classic and deeply moving memoir by Pablo Neruda, the most widely read political poet of our time and winner of the Nobel Prize The south of Chile was a frontier wilderness when Pablo Neruda was born in 1904. In these memoirs he retraces his bohemian student years in Santiago; his sojourns as Chilean consul in Burma, Ceylon, and Java, in Spain during the civil war, and in Mexico; and his service as a Chilean senator. Neruda, a Communist, was driven from his senate seat in 1948, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. After a year in hiding, he escaped on horseback over the Andes and then to Europe; his travels took him to Russia, Eastern Europe, and China before he was finally able to return home in 1952. The final section of the memoirs was written after the coup in 1972 that overthrew Neruda's friend Salvador Allende. Many of the century's most important literary and artistic figures were Neruda's friends, and figure in his memoirs--Garcia Lorca, Aragon, Picasso, and Rivera, among them--and also such political leaders as Gandhi, Nehru, Mao, Castro, and Che Guevara. In his uniquely expressive prose, Neruda not only explains his views on poetry and describes the circumstances that inspired many of his poems, but he creates a revealing record of his life as a poet, a patriot, and one of the twentieth century's true men of conscience. |

| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Atrapada y en silencio Martha Salavarrieta Mora, 2023-06-15 ATRAPADA Y EN SILENCIO es el relato de un largo recorrido por las praderas sinuosas de la vida, lleno de historias imprevisibles en principio, pero que poco a poco se repiten como espejos indeseados y se van entrelazando en una memoria de seres que cobran forma y adquieren un papel capaz de impactar, con el carácter reiterativo de una violencia agazapada, el curso mismo de la propia existencia. Y su recurrencia se explica porque este libro es la confesión de una mujer que fue adicta al maltrato afectivo: yo misma. He cambiado algunos nombres para protección de los protagonistas porque este no es un libro costumbrista, ni una entrañable memoria familiar: es el relato real de una vida compleja, la mía. En algunas páginas encontrarán episodios gratos, pero los capítulos que al fin me atreví a escribir son, ante todo, memorias del abuso, de la violencia familiar, de verdades afectivas profundamente dañinas. Al emprender esta tarea literaria el objetivo principal, que rondaba mi mente durante tantos años, era escribir un libro de mujer a mujer. Lo he escrito con la desnudez y honestidad requeridas. |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Even Silence Has an End Ingrid Betancourt, 2011-08-30 Betancourt's riveting account...is an unforgettable epic of moral courage and human endurance. -Los Angeles Times In the midst of her campaign for the Colombian presidency in 2002, Ingrid Betancourt traveled into a military-controlled region, where she was abducted by the FARC, a brutal terrorist guerrilla organization in conflict with the government. She would spend the next six and a half years captive in the depths of the Colombian jungle. Even Silence Has an End is her deeply moving and personal account of that time. The facts of her story are astounding, but it is Betancourt's indomitable spirit that drives this very special narrative-an intensely intelligent, thoughtful, and compassionate reflection on what it really means to be human. |

| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Drugs and Democracy in Rio de Janeiro Enrique Desmond Arias, 2009-11-13 Taking an ethnographic approach to understanding urban violence, Enrique Desmond Arias examines the ongoing problems of crime and police corruption that have led to widespread misery and human rights violations in many of Latin America's new democracies. Employing participant observation and interview research in three favelas (shantytowns) in Rio de Janeiro over a nine-year period, Arias closely considers the social interactions and criminal networks that are at the heart of the challenges to democratic governance in urban Brazil. Much of the violence is the result of highly organized, politically connected drug dealers feeding off of the global cocaine market. Rising crime prompts repressive police tactics, and corruption runs deep in state structures. The rich move to walled communities, and the poor are caught between the criminals and often corrupt officials. Arias argues that public policy change is not enough to stop the vicious cycle of crime and corruption. The challenge, he suggests, is to build new social networks committed to controlling violence locally. Arias also offers comparative insights that apply this analysis to other cities in Brazil and throughout Latin America. |

| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Pablo Escobar's Story 2 Shaun Attwood, 2019-07 Pablo Escobar was a mama's boy who cherished his family and sang in the shower, yet he bombed a passenger plane and formed a death squad that used genital electrocution. Most Escobar biographies only provide a few pieces of the puzzle, but this action-packed 1000-page book reveals everything about the king of cocaine. Mostly translated from Spanish, Part 2 contains stories untold in the English-speaking world, including: How Pablo's craving for a teen volleyball player caused his brother-in-law's death. How half of the Medellín Cartel's big bosses fell. The fate of the survivors of the Palace of Justice attack. The state's role in the death of the popular presidential candidate Galán. |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Blood and Capital Jasmin Hristov, 2014-07-31 In Blood and Capital: The Paramilitarization of Colombia, Jasmin Hristov examines the complexities, dynamics, and contradictions of present-day armed conflict in Colombia. She conducts an in-depth inquiry into the restructuring of the state’s coercive apparatus and the phenomenon of paramilitarism by looking at its military, political, and legal dimensions. Hristov demonstrates how various interrelated forms of violence by state forces, paramilitary groups, and organized crime are instrumental to the process of capital accumulation by the local elite as well as the exercise of political power by foreign enterprises. She addresses, as well, issues of forced displacement, proletarianization of peasants, concentration of landownership, growth in urban and rural poverty, and human rights violations in relation to the use of legal means and extralegal armed force by local dominant groups and foreign companies. Hristov documents the penetration of major state institutions by right-wing armed groups and the persistence of human rights violations against social movements and sectors of the low-income population. Blood and Capital raises crucial questions about the promised dismantling of paramilitarism in Colombia and the validity of the so-called demobilization of paramilitary groups, both of which have been widely considered by North American and some European governments as proof of Colombian president Álvaro Uribe’s advances in the wars on terror and drugs. |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Crónica de una paz incierta Aitor Sáez, 2019-05-17 El plebiscito abrió la brecha entre las dos Colombias, la que vivió el conflicto y la que no. La histórica paz se diluyó en las tinieblas hasta adquirir una connotación incluso negativa. Se trata de los relatos de posguerra de un conflicto de más de medio siglo. Hasta hace muy poco tiempo habría sido impensable acceder a cuatro campamentos de las FARC (antes y después de su dejación de armas), a las filas del ELN, con los cocaleros, laboratorios de narcos, con disidencias guerrilleras, zonas fronterizas de contrabando, o simplemente a remotas veredas azotadas por los grupos armados. Con el secuestro y asesinato de tres periodistas ecuatorianos del diario El Comercio, a manos de una disidencia de las FARC, se ha marcado un antes y un después para la libertad de prensa en Colombia. Me entusiasmó descubrir rincones y comunidades inhóspitas, que en numerosas ocasiones, conocían a un extranjero por primera vez. Era una introspección en los sentimientos y comportamientos universales de la humanidad en situaciones límite. De los protagonistas también alimenté mi pasión por este país, que en las más dramáticas circunstancias era capaz de sacar esperanzas e invadirme por ese aguerrido optimismo. Me apasionaron sus extremos, esa posibilidad de toparse con lo mejor y lo peor de un momento o lugar a otro. Y no me hizo falta ver ninguna serie de narcos para vibrar con esas realidades, que trascienden a la morbosa ficción de un mafioso, cuya historia y época desgrano holgadamente en uno de los capítulos. Eso sí, sin adornos y con la mayor rigurosidad posible. De hecho, me irrito igual que mi compañera y como cualquier colombiano cuando en España asocian a Colombia únicamente con Escobar. Quizá ese es otro de los estigmas que he pretendido superar con este libro. |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Secuestro historias que el país no conoció Humberto Velásquez Ardila, 2020-12-10 Los escritos publicados sobre el secuestro extorsivo casi siempre tienen un enfoque académico, centrado en el papel que sus perpetradores han jugado en el conflicto armado colombiano; así mismo, varios de los sobrevivientes escribieron sus experiencias, las cuales quedaron como testimonios vivos de la crueldad y la humillación a las que se somete a un plagiado. Sin embargo, hacía falta el relato presentado por quienes luchan contra el delito desde el campo de la legalidad y la institucionalidad. Las crónicas que describe el libro SECUESTRO Historias que el país no conoció, cobran especial relevancia ante el nuevo comportamiento en los fenómenos delictivos que afectan al país, donde esta atroz práctica siempre es considerada como una forma de obtener recursos, para financiar otras conductas criminales y como mecanismo de presión hacia el Estado. Es nuestra obligación evitar que historias como estas se repitan. Si bien, los operativos acompañados de grupos especializados como los GAULA son parte importante del trabajo, no necesariamente conllevan el mayor riesgo; la mayoría olvida que, la gestión que lo precede, implica una minuciosa labor de inteligencia, investigación, táctica y estrategia que buscan determinar el lugar de cautiverio y el momento preciso para actuar, dentro de un engranaje milimétrico, en el cual ninguna de sus piezas puede fallar, para alcanzar el éxito. Humberto Velásquez Ardila, testigo directo de las historias reales que conforman este libro, combatió el terrible flagelo del secuestro, que hoy sigue llamando la atención no solo del país sino del mundo entero, por la extrema degradación y las atrocidades a las que son sometidas las víctimas; su práctica jamás podrá justificarse, en ninguna forma |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: The Essential Saker The Saker, 2015-11-17 These are some of the most essential articles written by the Saker on his blog. Even though they cover topics ranging from history, to politics, to religion, to military affairs, to social issues, they are all linked by one common thread: the full-spectrum clash between the Western world and what the Saker calls the Russian civilizational realm. Most Russians, especially when addressing a western audience, feel compelled to use a diplomatic and non-confrontational language. In contrast, Saker's style is informal, almost conversational, but also direct, even blunt. He is fully aware that his views might offend many of his readers, but he believes that there is also a bigger audience out there which will appreciate an honest and, above all, sincere criticism of what the Saker calls the AngloZionist Empire. The careful reader, however, will notice that the Saker's criticisms are always aimed at a political system and its constituent institutions and supporting ideologies, but never at the people, nations or ethnicities. In fact, the Saker forcefully argues for a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious Russia which would be fully integrated in a multi-polar world inspired by the fraternal diversity of the BRICS countries. Underlying the Saker's entire worldview is a categorical rejection of all ideologies and a profound belief that the root of all evil as well as the key to defeating it is always in the realm of spirituality. Gilad Atzmon, jazz musician and philosopher: As telling the truth is becoming a nostalgic endeavour, its seeking is becoming an heroic adventure. The Saker will guide you through the mist of concealment and disinformation. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy in the Reagan administration and author of 12 books on contemporary politics: The Saker provides facts and analysis that are antidotes to the anti-Russian propaganda that prevails in the West. Peter Lavelle, host of Russia Today's flagship program CrossTalk offered this: Reading the Saker is essential - it is at this media space where one can discern the real trenches and battle lines in today's super-charged information wars. I read the Saker not only for the facts (that are verified and applied in context), but also for a moral and discipled attitude toward geopolitics. The Saker is not only a good read; it is also a way of looking at the world. Simply put: the Saker is information that is weaponized and hits all the right targets! The Saker community of blogs is the only such international and multi-lingual community of blogs. We collaborate with all the main English language blogs about Russia and the Ukraine. Our articles are often picked up by Russia Insider, the Asia Times, Information Clearing House and many others news sources and our work has been quoted by Paul Craig Roberts, Sheikh Imran Hosein, Pepe Escobar and many others. The Saker was born in a military family of White Russian refugees in western Europe where he lived most of his life. After completing two college degrees in the USA, he returned to Europe were he worked as a military analyst until he lost his career due to his vocal opposition to the western-sponsored wars in Chechnia, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. After re-training as a software engineer, he moved to the Florida where he now lives with his wife, a veterinarian, and their three children. When he does not blog or help his wife at work, the likes to explore the Florida wilderness on foot, mountain bike and kayak or play acoustic jazz guitar. |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: El infierno en doce pasos Raúl Rodríguez Rodríguez, 2020-10-30 El infierno en doce pasos es la crónica novelada de hechos reales conocidos por el autor durante su labor social en un reclusorio de la Ciudad de México. En ella se muestra el horror que puede vivir el ser humano, cuando es presa de las adicciones, pero también muestra la inmensa necesidad que tenemos de recuperar la espiritualidad pues solo en ella se puede encontrar la fuerza interior que todos tenemos, solo así se halla la forma de superar todos los obstáculos y sobreponernos a la mayor adversidad que podemos padecer: nuestra autodestrucción. Raúl Rodríguez Rodríguez, con inmensa capacidad descriptiva plasma el mundo oscuro que nos habita y la forma como el ser humano es capaz de sobreponerse a todo, si conecta con su espiritualidad. El infierno en doce pasos es más que una radiografía del bajo mundo, es en realidad la historia de los que logran dar la batalla espiritual que requiere nacer dos veces. La novela negra encuentra en este talento mexicano un gran exponente y es con El infierno en doce pasos que Cangrejo Editores inicia su colección para los amantes de este género literario |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: El gran aviso Christine Watinks, 2022-07-25 «Christine Watkins nos ofrece el conocimiento más completo sobre El Aviso que jamás haya leído. Aunque estoy familiarizado con muchas de las profecías sobre El Aviso, la lectura de su libro me dio una comprensión más profunda gracias a los relatos que comparte, en primera persona, de quienes han experimentado una iluminación de su conciencia. Ella sitúa de tal modo a estas personas en el contexto de su propio itinerario personal y combate espiritual que, mientras leía estos testimonios, sentí como si estuviera vivenciando sus experiencias. Conozco personalmente a varias de las personas de quienes se habla en el libro. Todas estas historias pueden cambiar la vida de quienes las lean. Son muchos los que creen que experimentaremos El Aviso o Iluminación de Conciencias en nuestra época. Para prepararse será de gran ayuda este libro informativo e inspirador. Es difícil dejar de leerlo. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente». |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Yihad en Latinoamérica John Marulanda, 2017-09-01 Se trata de la expresión propia, muy afortunada y precisa, sobre la geopolítica actual, proveniente de la experiencia y el estudio. Es el resultado del trabajo adelantado por años, en materia de seguridad, mediante la pluma de alguien que conoce a fondo las relaciones existentes entre las ideologías y creencias, por una parte y, por otra, la actividad proselitista de movimientos políticos y religiosos de distintos orígenes y en diferentes latitudes. El autor, merced al seguimiento que emprendió y ha efectuado tanto en el campo académico como en el de su actividad práctica, sabe muy bien las características de la política activa y de la vinculación que con ella tienen ciertas doctrinas religiosas, y la forma en que se expanden, incluso por fuera de las fronteras de un determinado país. Cuando esas doctrinas e ideas son extremas, no es extraño que su expansión tenga lugar por la vía del terrorismo, la intolerancia y la violencia. En los últimos años, el mundo ha visto —asombrado e impotente—el desarrollo de conflictos que, en Irak, en Siria, en Pakistán y en otros países, parecen no tener fin. Y, con verdadero pavor —que es lo que busca siempre el terrorismo—, ha presenciado en los medios de comunicación y en las redes sociales actos de barbarie. Ejecuciones, masacres, ataques suicidas, bombas activadas en lugares concurridos, con el consiguiente alto número de muertos y heridos. Niños tratando de huir de la guerra. Familias destrozadas. Miles de personas que han preferido morir en frágiles embarcaciones, en busca de un puerto, antes que vivir en medio del hambre, la destrucción, la incertidumbre y el miedo. |
| popeye sobreviviendo a pablo escobar: Frida Íntima Isolda P. Kahlo, 2019-10-01 Isolda P. Kahlo, única sobreviviente de la familia Kahlo, ha dejado estas memorias: de la mano de sus duendes infantiles recorre de nuevo la Casa Azul de Coyoacán, entre sombras crecidas: su infancia ha sido un mar turbulento. Abre puertas cerradas, pasajes ocultos... No puede llevarse toda esa carga de silencios a cuestas, ni es posible apostarle por más tiempo al espejismo engañador. Ofrece su álbum de fotografías inéditas al ojo de los lectores y documentos que avalan lo dicho. Al caer las piezas que lo maquillaban surge una verdad clave en la interpretación de los hechos. La historia relatada en este libro, es una nueva verdad que se suma a otras historias subjetivas e investigaciones hechas en torno a la figura de Frida Kahlo. Ya se sabe: No hay una sola verdad ni existe un criterio universal para juzgar, con justeza, a un personaje. Sin embargo, una nieta se cansa de ver rodar las lágrimas de su abuela, quien no encuentra en tantos libros publicados, a esa Frida que ella conoció y quiso; a la que vivió a su lado y compartió con ella tantos momentos. |
