History is full of myths that have distorted the truth, whether through ignorance or true intention of the managers of such myths. Recently saw a French program that takes care of marine life in this program was a controversial figure as it was the pirate Blackbeard, around which are woven countless horrific stories. Thanks to the patient work of researchers from many areas of science, these ideas have been clarified to show a more concrete character and a true biography.
In recent years, advances in archeology have been demolished one by one, a number of myths we grew in our school stage, therefore, was the story officer at the time. Inca The idea of \u200b\u200ba just, noble and kind, typified by Garcilaso and Guaman Poma, has been slightly displaced to make studies of the cultures with which the Inca had contact or were trampled on by the Inca expansionism. An example is seen in the ruins of Chan Chan and the remains of the Chachapoyas. Another myth I remember most was the contrast of the Inca rituals that were in front of Aztec cultures, the latter presented as bloody from a European perspective. Its museums exhibit the works of their "gods." In ours for a long time was a sort of taboo to think that our cultures have been bloody. The discoveries of the Moche culture, whether in Trujillo as Chiclayo, have revealed the bloody rites were done by the Moche, and suggests Campaign flowery "to capture prisoners for their sacrificial ceremonies. Burials made by the Sican culture (such as those found in the Huaca del Oro) were all an orgy of slaughter. The Lords of Sipan were not alone in this world, bringing in women, soldiers and even animals to the afterlife. In my school days, that was unthinkable.
The myth built around the loss to Chile between 1879-1883 has dragged the Peruvian psyche a kind of original sin continues to move our feelings of frustration, revenge, inferiority and even injustice. Our action runs always looking at what makes our southern neighbor. Extrapolating the situation is like watching Ecuador see what we Peruvians to lead its national life psychic. I think that does not happen, I have not heard his recent rulers worry defeat us in our GDP or per capita income. Yes we have heard it publicly AGP when he spoke of Chile. The statements in the presentation of Cesar Arias many college students it seemed the most sensible (although they may fit other possibilities): Chile has every intention of becoming a natural ally of the United States on this continent. Our absurd race to achieve this goal began with the story of Pinochet and his Chicago Boys, and the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing accepted into the select circle of First World countries. Chile has not armed to make war, but to become a policeman to support U.S. policy. Peru can not display these characteristics because our ruling classes have not been able to articulate the nation, despite some notable efforts (not just physically, but also - and above all, mentally). Our country wants to become another policeman, but the reality is a chaotic country with great economic gaps (more and more pronounced) and no clear policies on what you want to be and do as a nation and as Examples are that there are few state policies shared with all people of our nation. The proposal to walk alone to Peru (with Colombia) arose from an interesting strategy of the government of Toledo, at which time we have worked collectively to obtain fair prices for our raw materials (euphemistically called "commodities"), do Doha valid agreements and worked on negotiating blocs. And first world countries know what it is dealing with trading blocks (remember the OPEC and the effect of the boycott policy in the years 70). Peru and Colombia decided to walk alone to get help only TLC dangerous to keep our economy based on exports of raw materials. This period reminds me (saving distances and actors) to the period of Oncenio Leguia, stage of significant economic development to the debacle of 29. Our spread has left us a bit lonely and in a hurry to find as we sign FTA "solidify" our economy and thus make it attractive to be a first world country. The media tell us every day. But the pair have a strong social movement dysfunction (sick, outbreaks of violence, emergence of regional political movements, drug trafficking) that prevents promising to become a policeman, our path must be different. In the situation shown previously, many people yearn for "solid" obviously fictitious social peace lived at the time of Fujimori. That is why the popularity of his daughter that makes a budding rival in our election campaign next year.
In desperation to find a goal, is to wipe out everything and here we find a taboo: Juan Velasco Alvarado. This figure which rose by a coup in 1968, expressed the situation of an era. Some embarrassing situations, plus a severe economic crisis (we had a strong devaluation of the sun) and the occurrence of several outbreaks guerrillas demolished faith that had been in this government that promised land reform and inclusive reforms for the time. But the heavy A-APRA alliance in parliament blocked any reform, out of the big oligarchs of the era (about the most representative: Awful Beltran, owner of the defunct newspaper La Prensa). In a way, Belaunde was in a government of good intentions, in a strange land reform intended to colonize the forest to avoid touching the sugar plantations of the coast, and the great estates of the saw. His downfall March 1st of October had an impact of Lima and in some cities, but the national plight of the devaluation, the famous Page 11, the smuggling scandal involving several personalities of his cabinet and the occupation of the IPC in Talara made people see the situation differently government. The group of soldiers who had taken the government was not a group of traditional caudillo, had formed in CMEA, had been in other tanks, they had even seen the U.S. policy that our country was following him in Cuba. The explosive situation in Peru (remember Hugo Blanco, De la Puente Uceda, Héctor Béjar, among others) called for drastic changes in our society. One consequence of this period was the disintegration of the oligarchy who refused to lose their status. Have not done this, according to an analysis of the U.S. State Department the country was inevitably a guerrilla war that could have ended in a virtual civil war like we had in the 80 to 90. The possibility of inclusion began during this period, but was gradually sabotaged. The period of the military junta held a social volcano 68-75; the breakdown promoted by Morales Bermudez and then Belaunde, after which the pastiche that was the first AGP government revived the dreaded volcano manifest in two violent extremist groups, Sendero Luminoso and MRTA. The proposal of the Board invigorated Peruvian society is gave birth to the newly emerging groups (one of them will be the group Romero), there were social groups that were expressed, such as Afro-Peruvians: the time of Nicomedes Santa Cruz and Black Peru, del Toro Mata. It wanted to develop an industry for domestic and regional Andean, we must remember that the motor park development would rest with each country in that market (Andean Pact) and I remember that the city chosen to make the big fleet of Peru would be Trujillo (there was even some motorcycle factories and rings). People condemned the project for self-recognition as unable to use and create technology, and stay as we are now, mere producers of raw materials. In addition, subsequently demonstrated hatred has increased almost demented hatred of official society to the other Peru, who wanted to be shown, included and valued. So, at mass events like the mass burial of Flor Pucarina, the appearance of Chicha, Chacalón, the Chapis, and the boom of what is experienced as the fashion of chicha have not yet been formally assimilated into our society. Like it or not, this wave of cooking is, in some ways, the granddaughter of this thinking. The taboo remains, and very strong.
To close this reflection after the visit to Arias, it is clear that the myth of friendships between governments is a mere euphemism to disguise the true interest lies in the relations between countries. I want to clarify that high-level relations are not closely linked to relations between peoples, but those may be affected. The recent launch Wikyleak network (information leakage) has confirmed the true intention that each state has with its peers in the world interests. So we understand actions taken by the governments of Argentina during the conflict with Ecuador, Peru's position against the coup in Honduras, among others. To understand the magnitude is the most brazen of all is the prospect we have of Angela Merkel, the German prime minister, who has made an intensive campaign of close ties to U.S. diplomacy and has made some gringa prejudicial comments about him, though was broadcast in Germany that these statements would not affect relations, however, and shot the head of the foreign minister. The interesting thing is how moving our diplomacy, which has been hard work to heal some strained relations with several Latin American countries and understand the possibility of rearranging our relations with Chile, given the geopolitical maps of them do not necessarily pass through clash with us, but who wants to follow a course which (as he proclaims Toledo and AGP) envy and aspire to be a good backyard. One question: will we be selling the idea of \u200b\u200ba new Plan Colombia as a platform for our country? Or our ability as a country makes us unbalanced in the process of Colombianization?
