You’re probably wondering what Koldo, Kasparov and Kali have in common. At first glance it seems like little, but these three KKK (do not confuse them with the Ku Klux Klan) summarize not only the current news of the last week, but also summarize the drift of planet Earth towards an increasingly corrupt world. more bellicose and speculative, where anyone can be labeled a “terrorist” at any time and where the most terrible misfortunes become food for influencers.
First K. There is something that is there, that is not seen, but that we hear about and that generates authentic acts of faith. No, it is not about God, but about bitcoin, a cryptocurrency that is the most distorted mirror of humanity. After sinking in 2022, bitcoin has returned strongly and its price reached its highest record this past Tuesday, reaching $69,200. One wonders why we go to work if we can get rich just by praying to the Bitcoin divinity. In parallel, we have seen how Data Protection prevented Worldcoin from scanning irises in exchange for cryptocurrencies in Spain. This action had already made obsolete the expression “this is going to cost you a kidney”, which the Royal Spanish Academy of Language (RAE) will have to update sooner or later, changing it to the more modern “this is going to cost you your iris”. Bitcoin and all cryptocurrency are a reflection of this increasingly volatile and speculative world in which we live, in which the corrupt move like a fish in water. And in that Spain is a leader. Now, the (alleged) fashionable case is that of the first K, by Koldo, but, when this wave passes, another will come. It is always so. Although it is said that “not everything goes in politics”, in reality, it has always been the other way around, “anything goes, especially in politics.”
Second K. We could assign it to Karles Puigdemont, if it were not for the fact that his name is written with C for Carles, so we will refer to the K for Kasparov. As with Puigdemont, it is another example that anyone can be branded (and even accused) of being a suspected “terrorist.” It turns out that Russia has included the exiled former chess champion Garry Kasparov on its list of people declared “terrorists and extremists”, according to a statement from the Russian financial intelligence service. Kasparov was one of the greatest chess players in history before becoming a fierce opponent of Vladimir Putin, who clearly does not like to be contradicted. And, if not, there is the case of the ill-fated Alexei Navalni. The most curious thing about Kasparov, who now lives in the United States, is that he fought a long duel in the 1980s with another Soviet chess legend, Anatoly Karpov, who later supported Putin and became a deputy in the Russian president’s party. . Even in that they are rivals.
Third K. It is for an Indian goddess who, when she wants, has a very bad temper, Kali. She can be brutal and inspires fear in evildoers by her cruel practices. This week we have seen how it manifested itself in India, when a terrible case of multiple rape of a Spanish tourist has come to light which, however, has generated surprise due to how this authentic misfortune has been treated from the influencer’s point of view. It has also been impressive how quickly the Indian police seem to have resolved this case (how many other less high-profile cases have been left in limbo in a country with 86 rapes per day?), which has affected a couple with almost 330,000 followers in Instagram. Even the compensation they have received has been express (a check worth one million rupees – 11,121.75 euros – as compensation after the gang rape), when in Spain we have to sit and wait for justice to be applied to them. turtle pace It has also attracted attention how the Indian police lead the detainees: with a hood and with a rope tied to their waist. Another world, without a doubt, whether visited by motorcycle, plane, train, car, scooter or tuk-tuk.
