I should be delighted that the European Union Court of Human Rights has ordered a compensation to the family of 105,000 Euros թ§Չ-Չ the precision is jaw-dropping, why not as the British do add 3 Pounds and 3 pence for postage … or make it a Fiver if you feel generous today!
There is a spine chilling sordidness about this news I find despicable թ§Չ-Չ the shamelessness that any committee can decide the price of a priceless human being. For me, not even a billion is enough as a price tag for my friend Hrant Dink. As during the times of Slavery, there may soon arise a hierarchy of price tags թ§Չ-Չ what price a Dr. Kelly, the British UN weapons inspector in Iraq? Whatթ§Չ-Չ§s the price tag for Allende, the once democratically elected President of Peru murdered by now the self-confessed CIA braggarts? Should the European Court force our Mrs. Thatcher still alive pay the Compensation, as she was the defiant defender of the arch-murderer Pinochet, when he was arrested in London?
In the Marxist system of Das Kapital, everything, but everything has a price թ§Չ-Չ when it comes to Money թ§Չ-Չmaking, there is no ethics, no common humane decencies; Profit is the only interest (pun intended!) of transactions. And I think it is this which makes me despise it թ§Չ-Չ the commoditization of the human being, which is what gave rise to formal Slavery in the first place, and post-modern whoredom today. While I welcome the EU decision թ§Չ-Չ it may even be a first in historical terms evaluating the dead (not only compensating the injured) թ§Չ-Չ I abhor its grand formalization of the capitalist commoditization of human beings. Hitherto the dead were commemorated in stone, public sculptures and poetry. Now, political assassinations are turned into a profitable business. And this sends chills down my spine.
