“Los cristianos en el mundo, más que ninguna otra comunidad religiosa, constituyen hoy en día un grupo perseguido y amenazado, urgentemente necesitado de protección y ayuda”“De acuerdo con el Center for the Study of Global Christianity, más de 100.000 cristianos han sido asesinados cada año entre 2000 y 2011, lo que supondría la muerte de once cristianos cada hora durante ese periodo”“De los 50 países que Open Doors identifica como en mayor o en menor medida responsables de persecuciones contra los cristianos, 39 de ellos cuentan con una población mayoritariamente musulmana, que suele coincidir con la presencia de la sharia como ley estatal”
Fifty years ago, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas by the bullets fired by a young communist sympathiser, Lee Harvey Oswald. It was then that the Kennedy myth emerged. The myth of a life cut short at full maturity, of a progressive presidency too soon interrupted and of a thwarted American dream. However, half a century after the Dallas assassination and thanks to both the historical perspective achieved over time and to several research works of very high historiographical value, it is possible to separate myth from reality.
This week, we Venezuelans are undusting our worst memories. The looting promoted by Maduro has forced us to face the spectre of Caracazo of 1989. 24 years later, oil 'rentism' is once again taking its toll.

The two armies, North and South, had left close to ten thousand dead, rotting in the summer of Pennsylvania, after the battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863), perhaps the most crucial one of the Civil War (1861-1865).
