“Wherever you go you will find death waiting for you,” states Osho. From our series 1001 Tales, compiled by Shanti.
King horseback
In all the directions death is waiting. In all the places death is waiting.
I have heard a very famous story, a Sufi story:
A king dreamt. In the night in his dream he saw Death. He became afraid. He asked, “What is the matter? Why are you making me so frightened?”
Death said, “I have come to tell you that tomorrow, by sunset, I am coming, so get ready. It is just out of compassion so that you can prepare.”
The king was so shocked, his sleep was broken. It was the middle of the night; he called his ministers and he said, “Find people who can interpret the dream, because time is short. Maybe it is true!”
Then the interpreters came, but as interpreters always have been, they were great scholars. They brought many big books and they started discussing and disputing and arguing. And the sun started rising, and it was morning. And an old man, who was a very trusted servant to the king, he came to the king and he whispered in his ear, “Don’t be foolish! These people will quarrel for ever and ever, and they will never come to any conclusion.”
Now, everybody was trying that his interpretation was right, and the king was more confused than ever. So he asked the old man, “Then what am I supposed to do?”
He said, “Let them continue their discussions. They are not going to conclude so soon – and the sun will be setting, because once it has risen the sunset is not very far. Rather, take my advice and escape – at least escape from this palace. Be somewhere else! By the evening reach somewhere as far away as possible.”
The logic looked right. The king had a very fast horse, the fastest in the world. He rushed, he escaped. Hundreds of miles he passed. By the time he reached a certain town, the sun was just about to set. He was very happy. He patted his horse and he said, “You did well. We have come very far.”
And when he was patting his horse, suddenly he felt somebody was standing behind him. He looked back – the same shadow of Death.
And Death started laughing. And the king said, “What is the matter? Why are you laughing?”
Death said, “I was worried because you were destined to die under this tree – and I was worried how you would manage to reach. Your horse is really great! It did well. Let me also pat your horse. That’s why I came in your dream: I wanted you to escape from the palace, because I was very worried how it would happen, how you would be able to reach. The place looked so far away and only one day was left. But your horse did well, you have come in time.”
Wherever you go you will find death waiting for you. So, that cannot be avoided – then mind starts imagining some way to avoid it.

Jul 20, 202100:09:37Tap to summarizeCerdo tele habla sobre el alcohol о Я могу тебе сказать только одно что я никогда не болела пневмониями И тем более летом и так тяжело люди эти умирают Я думаю что это существует вирус но его сделали специально как бактериологическая война как раз для того чтобы половина населения умерло Ну не половина часть и остальных заставить делать вакцины которые очень выгодно делать они обогатились миллиардами на этих вакцинах неизвестно на самом деле что-то внутри вакцин Мне кажется это сделано специально искусственный вирус который существует потому что берут анализ кого-то положительное вот отрицательный вот у нас по стране не будут брать мы не мы придумали же этот на вирус но он когда берут мазок из носа из горла он показывает либо исправить либо нет и через 2 недели мне возьмут мазок если будет положительный я буду дальше сидеть на карантине А если отрицательный то могу выходить из дома этот вирус он отличается от каких-то сезонных у меня дочка потеряла полностью и запахи и обоняние и вкус она не чувствует что она не чувствует запах духов Чего угодно а у неё так пошло у взрослых людей как у меня поражаются чаще всего легкие вот и это очень тяжело и он очень опасен Нет он существует ты Берегись от него потому что я тоже не хотела делать прививки я наоборот боюсь что они будут придумывать дальше новые штаммы и постоянно всех держать в страхе Что нужно делать каждые полгода эту вакцину вот у нас тоже население разделилось на тех кто делает вакцину на тех кто не хочет делать но у нас стало много ограничений нам на самолёт даже на юг поехать в Сочи нужно чтобы была сделана либо вакцина либо что ты переболел вот мы сейчас переболели внутри болеем с Машей нам дадут qr-код Вот и мы уже можем передвигаться на самом деле это тяжелая болезнь но и она видишь как ухудшаются вот я поначалу себя легче чувствовала и с каждым днём у меня нарастает но сегодня я сказала себе всё Сегодня я буду себя чувствовать лучше лучше чем вчера Я не хочу больше испытывать эту боль но она очень больная и температура только через 4 часа снижается вот так что тут даже дело серьезнее чем ты думаешь это не просто какая-то сезонная болезнь которая вдруг ни с того ни с сего Весь земной шар то хватило это учёные какие-то химики вот всё это придумали запустили вот сейчас в нашей стране ни с того ни с сего и постоянно всех держать в страхе Что нужно делать каждые полгода эту вакцину вот у нас тоже население разделилось на тех кто делает вакцину на тех кто не хочет делать но у нас стало много ограничений нам на самолёт даже на юг поехать в

ни с сего Весь земной шар то хватило это учёные какие-то химики вот всё это придумали запустили вот сейчас нашей стране ни с того ни с сего такая волна заражение у нас в одной Москве каждый день 5.000 зараженных новых Ну заболевших а во всей стране 25.000 у нас Ну всегда было 1.000 98 день по стране Мне кажется прямо это специально кто-то опять устроил именно для нас потому что только в нашей стране Такая прямо резкая волна пошла ни с того ни с сего и Видишь она задела меня потому что девочка Машина моей дочке одноклассница она ездила в санкт-петербург а там самый большой вспышка это Москва и санкт-петербург Она привезла и заразила всех одноклассников Но Маша молоденькая дочка моя Маша и она легче перенесла но только потеряла запахи вкусы А мне вот как досталась Я рада что я тебя поддержала спасибо что ты меня поддерживаешь and constantly keep everyone at bay What needs to be done every six months this vaccine here, too, our population is divided into those who make the vaccine for those who do not want to do it, but we have many restrictions on the plane, even to the south, we need to go to Sochi so that either the vaccine or that you have been ill now we are ill inside we are ill with Masha they will give us a qr code So we can already move in fact this is a serious illness but you see how it gets worse so at first I felt lighter and every day it grows but today I said to myself everything Today I will feel better than yesterday I don’t want to experience this pain anymore, but it’s very sick and the temperature only decreases after 4 hours, so this is even more serious than you think it’s not just some kind of seasonal illness which all of a sudden the whole globe was enough it scientists some chemists have come up with all this launched now in our country, for no reason at all, such a wave of infection in we are in Moscow alone every day 5.000 infected new ones Well sick and in the whole country we have 25.000 Well it was always 1.000 98 days in the country for no apparent reason, and See, she touched me because the girl The car is a classmate of my daughter, she went to St. Petersburg and there the biggest outbreak is Moscow and St. Petersburg She brought and infected all classmates But Masha is my young daughter Masha and she is easier endured but only lost the smells tastes And this is how I got it I'm glad that I supported you thank you for supporting me Good morning Good morning I can only tell you one thing that I have never been sick with pneumonia And even more so in the summer and so hard these people die I think that there is a virus, but it was done specifically as a bacteriological war just so that half of the population would die Well, not half some and the rest are forced to make vaccines that are very profitable to do they have been enriched by billions on these vaccines it is not known in fact something inside the vaccines I think this was done on a specially artificial virus that exists because they take an analysis of someone positive here is negative here in our country we will not take this one for the virus, but when they take a swab from the nose from the throat, it shows either to fix it or not, and after 2 weeks they will take a swab if it is positive, I will continue to quarantine And if it is negative, then I can leave this house the virus is different from some seasonal ones, my daughter has completely lost her smells, smell and taste she doesn’t smell perfume Anything but it went so badly in adults as my lungs are most often affected, so this is very difficult and he is very dangerous No he exists you Beware of him because I also didn’t want to be vaccinated I’m the other way around I'm afraid that they will come up with new strains and constantly keep everyone at bay What needs to be done every six months this vaccine here, too, our population is divided into those who make the vaccine for those who do not want to do it, but we have many restrictions on our plane even to the south you need to go to Sochi so that either a vaccine is made or that you have been ill, now we are ill inside, we are sick with Masha, they will give us a qr-code So we can already move in fact, this is a serious illness, but you see how it gets worse, so at first I felt better and every day it grows with me, but today I told myself everything Today I will feel better than yesterday I do not want to experience this pain anymore, but it is very sick and fever but only after 4 hours it decreases, so that even the matter is more serious than you think it is not just some

Following the crimes, she told police a man had attempted to carjack her and had shot the children. She was convicted in 1984 and sentenced to life in prison plus fifty years. Downs briefly escaped in 1987 and was recaptured. She is the subject of a book by Ann Rule and a made-for-TV movie based upon it, both called Small Sacrifices. She was denied parole in December 2008 and again in December 2010; her next hearing is set for 2021.[1] Contents 1 Early life 2 Shootings 2.1 Prosecution 3 Aftermath 4 Parole hearing 5 See also 6 References Early life Diane Downs was born in Phoenix, Arizona, on August 7, 1955, to parents Wesley Linden (1930–2017) and Willadene (Engle) Frederickson.[2] She has testified that her father sexually abused her when she was 12 years old.[3] Diane graduated from Moon Valley High School in Phoenix where she met her husband, Steve Downs.[2] After high school, she enrolled at Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College in Orange, California, but was expelled after one year for promiscuous behavior, and soon returned to her parents' home in Arizona.[2] On November 13, 1973, Diane married Steve Downs after running away from home.[2][3] Their first child, Christie Ann, was born in 1974. Cheryl Lynn followed in 1976, with Stephen Daniel being born in 1979. The couple divorced in 1980 because Steve thought Stephen Daniel, known as Danny, was the result of an affair Diane had.[4] On May 8, 1982, Downs gave birth to a daughter through surrogacy. She named the child Jennifer before turning her over to her intended parents.[3] Prior to her arrest, Downs was employed by the United States Postal Service, assigned to the mail routes in the city of Cottage Grove, Oregon. Cheryl Lynn, shortly before her death, reportedly told a neighbor of her grandparents that she was afraid of her mother.[5] Shootings Downs with her three children On May 19, 1983, Downs shot her three children and drove them in a blood-spattered car to McKenzie-Willamette Hospital.[6][7] Upon arrival, Cheryl (aged 7) was already dead, Danny (aged 3) was paralyzed from the waist down, and Christie (aged 8) had suffered a disabling stroke.[8] Downs herself had been shot in the left forearm. She claimed she was carjacked on a rural road near Springfield, Oregon, by a strange man who shot her and the children. However, investigators and hospital workers became suspicious because they decided her manner was too calm for a person who had experienced such a traumatic event. She also made a number of statements that both police and hospital workers considered highly inappropriate.[3] Suspicions heightened when Downs, upon arrival at the hospital to visit her children, phoned Robert Knickerbocker, a married man and former coworker in Arizona with whom she had been having an extramarital affair.[9] The forensic evidence did not match her story; there was no blood spatter on the driver's side of the car, nor was there any gunpowder residue on the driver's door or on the interior door panel. Knickerbocker also reported to police that Downs had stalked him and seemed willing to kill his wife if it meant that she could have him to herself; he stated that he was relieved that she had left for Oregon and that he was able to reconcile with his wife.[10] Downs did not disclose to police that she owned a .22 caliber handgun, but both Steve Downs and Knickerbocker informed them that she did. Investigators later discovered Downs bought the handgun in Arizona. While they were unable to find the actual weapon, they found unfired casings in her home with extractor markings from the murder weapon. Most damaging, witnesses saw her car being driven very slowly toward the hospital at an estimated speed of 5–7 mph (8–11 km/h), contradicting her claim that she drove to the hospital at high speed after the shooting. Based on this and additional evidence, Downs was arrested on February 28, 1984, nine months after the shooting, and charged with one count of murder and two counts each of attempted murder and criminal assault.[11] Prosecution Prosecutors argued that Downs shot her children to be free of them so she could continue her affair with Knickerbocker, as she claimed that he let it be known that he did not want children in his life.[3] Much of the case against her rested on the testimony of her surviving daughter, Christie, who, once she recovered her ability to speak, described how her mother shot all three children while parked at the side of the road and then shot herself in the arm.[3] Downs was convicted on all charges on June 17, 1984, and sentenced to life in prison plus 50 years. She was required to serve 25 years before being considered for parole. Psychiatrists diagnosed her with narcissistic, histrionic, and antisocial personality disorders.[12] Most of her sentence is to be served consecutively. The judge made it clear that he did not intend for Downs to ever be free again.[13] Aftermath Downs' two surviving children eventually went to live with the lead prosecutor on the case, Fred Hugi. He and his wife Joanne adopted them in 1986.[13] Prior to her arrest, Downs became pregnant with a fourth child and gave birth to a girl, whom she named Amy Elizabeth, a month after her 1984 trial. Ten days before Downs' sentencing, Amy was seized by the State of Oregon and adopted by Chris and Jackie Babcock, who named her Rebecca. As an adult, Rebecca appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show[14] and ABC's 20/20[15] discussing how she feels about her biological mother. She wrote to Downs in her younger years and has stated that she regrets it, regarding her mother as "a monster."[16] Downs was incarcerated at the Oregon Women's Correctional Center in Salem. She escaped from her cell in Oregon on July 11, 1988 by scaling an 18-foot razor wire fence. For ten days Downs managed to escape despite a 14-state manhunt before she was recaptured.[17] She received an additional five-year sentence for the escape. After her recapture, Downs was transferred to the New Jersey Department of Corrections Clinton Correctional Facility for Women after heavy lobbying from Hugi.[18] The Salem prison was located 66 miles from Hugi's home in Springfield; during her ten days of freedom, Hugi had feared that Downs would attempt to travel there in hopes of contacting Christie and Danny. Despite significant security upgrades at the women's facility after the escape, state officials accepted Hugi's argument that the risk of harm to Christie and Danny in the event of another escape was too great for Downs to remain incarcerated in Oregon. In 1994, after serving ten years, Downs was transferred to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.[19] While in prison, she has earned an associate degree in General Studies.[19] In 2010, she was located in the Valley State Prison for Women in Chowchilla, California,[18] but transferred out when the facility was converted to an all-male institution in 2013.[20] Author Ann Rule wrote the book Small Sacrifices (1987) detailing Downs' life and murder trial.[21] The book documents accounts by friends, acquaintances, neighbors, and her surviving daughter Christie, who question the quality of her parenting.[22] A made-for-TV movie also titled Small Sacrifices, starring Farrah Fawcett as Downs, aired on ABC in 1989. Parole hearing Downs' sentence meant she could not be considered for parole until 2009. Under Oregon law at the time, as a dangerous offender, Downs would have been eligible for a parole hearing every two years until she is released or dies in prison.[23] In her first application for parole in 2008, Downs reaffirmed her innocence. "Over the years," she said, "I have told you and the rest of the world that a man shot me and my children. I have never changed my story."[24] Her first parole hearing was on December 9, 2008.[24] Lane County District Attorney Douglas Harcleroad wrote to the parole board, "Downs continues to fail to demonstrate any honest insight into her criminal behavior...even after her convictions, she continues to fabricate new versions of events under which the crimes occurred."[24] He also wrote that "she alternately refers to her assailants as a bushy-haired stranger, two men wearing ski masks or drug dealers and corrupt law enforcement officials."[24] Downs participated in the hearing from the Valley State Prison for Women.[24] She was not permitted a statement, but answered questions from the parole board.[24] After three hours of interviews and thirty minutes of deliberation, she was denied parole.[24] Downs faced her second parole hearing on December 10, 2010, and was denied.[25][26] Her next parole hearing is scheduled for 2021.[1] See also Crime in Oregon Familicide Filicide List of murdered American children P vip.svgBiography portalFlag of Oregon.svgOregon portalJohnny-automatic-scales-of-justice.svgLaw portal References Steves, David (December 11, 2020).

Jan 8, 202100:01:35Tap to summarizeNEWS WEBSITE OF THE YEAR Subscribe now Free for one month Log in See all Travel Telegraph Travel Lists Which countries haven't embraced mandatory face masks? OLIVER SMITH DIGITAL TRAVEL EDITOR 25 NOVEMBER 2020 • 4:30PM 62 "Ah, Sweden. The Marmite of the pandemic" 'Ah, Sweden. The Marmite of the pandemic' CREDIT: GETTY There’s a startling lack of evidence to suggest face masks stop the spread of respiratory illnesses in the community, with the latest study from Denmark – the most comprehensive random control trial of its kind – concluding: “The recommendation to wear a surgical mask when outside the home among others did not reduce, at conventional levels of statistical significance, the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in mask wearers.” No pandemic plan put forward by health authorities – until 2020 – contained the advice: “Make everyone, even the healthy, cover their face.” (Nor did any advise governments to lock up their citizens, but that’s another story). Until less than six months ago, both the World Health Organisation and Public Health England did not recommend them, with Jenny Harries, deputy chief medical officer, even warning that they could increase the risk of infection (something seen in a 2015 Vietnamese study). In March, chief medical officer Chris Whitty summed up the stance of most rational public health bodies around the world: “In terms of wearing a mask, our advice is clear: that wearing a mask if you don’t have an infection reduces the risk almost not at all. So we do not advise that.” Since March, no new scientific studies have emerged that warrant abandoning decades of scientific consensus. We’ve seen drawings of men urinating on one another, and videos showing particles moving around a person’s head, but nothing in the realm of properly conducted clinical trials. And yet... Masks are everywhere. In Spain, France and Italy, to name but a few, masks are obligatory whenever people leave their home (or hotel) – even in an empty park. In New York, such is their devotion to the cult, the “liberal” residents have taken to verbally abusing those who walk the streets bare-faced. A nationwide mask obsession doesn’t seem to do much when it comes to tackling the spread of the disease. Spain, France and Italy have battled with some of the highest infection rates in Europe, despite the mask mandates. Furthermore, draconian mask rules turn once pleasant streets into a dystopian nightmare. When I’m on holiday, I don’t want muffled conversations and a sweaty rag glued to my face. I want to be greeted with smiles, not rows of fearful eyes. So where can I go (after lockdown, that is)? Where are things relatively, dare I say, “normal”? Short-haul Sweden Normal rating 8/10 Can I go? Yes, but you will need to self-isolate when you return to Britain. Ah, Sweden. The Marmite of the pandemic. Some think it is the only sane country in the world. Others think it is conducting some dastardly experiment in herd immunity. Its status as Covid hero/pariah has taken a hit recently, with PM Stefan Lofven overruling state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell and introducing new stricter guidelines. However, most of these remain voluntary: shops and restaurants are still open, masks are rare, and hugs are exchanged. Covid cases per 100,000 (last 7 days): 325.3 Where to go? Sweden’s beautiful south. BA and SAS are offering regular flights to Stockholm and Gothenburg. See our pick of the best hotels in Sweden. Norway Normal rating 7/10 Can I go? Only if you are able to self-quarantine for 10 days on arrival. Norway, like its Scandi neighbour, has not embraced face masks. Its health authority says: “The most important measure to avoid transmission is to keep a distance to others, maintain good hand hygiene and stay at home if you are ill.” Masks are only required on public transport and at the airport, and polling suggests 70% of Norwegians wear them rarely or never. Covid cases per 100,000 (last 7 days): 69.3 Finland Normal rating 7/10 Can I go? Not yet. Plans to reopen to tourists on November 23 have been shelved. Finland’s mask policy mirrors Norway’s; they are required on public transport and in airports, but nowhere else. Polling also shows it has one of the lowest mask wearing rates in Europe, with 58% using them rarely or not at all. Alas, the country has not reopened its borders to tourists having mothballed plans to do so this month. Covid cases per 100,000 (last 7 days): 47.9 Iceland Normal rating 6/10 Can I go? Yes, with provisos. All passengers arriving in Iceland can choose to either self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival or take two Covid-19 tests, one on arrival and another 5-6 days later. Test negative, and a land of relative normality awaits. Masks are only recommended when social distancing cannot be maintained – and not outdoors. Paul Sullivan went there recently for Telegraph Travel. He wrote: “It’s just a few hours since I was given the all-clear from a not-too-comfortable but blissfully quick Covid-test at Iceland’s Keflavik airport, and I’m neck-deep in the milky-blue, geothermally heated waters of the famous Blue Lagoon. In normal times, the lagoon pulls in around a million visitors a year, but today just a couple of hundred people are wading around with the venue’s trademark white silica smeared on their faces. And almost all the voices I hear are Icelandic.” Covid cases per 100,000 (last 7 days): 23.5 Where to go? Blow the budget at the dreamy Blue Lagoon Retreat. EasyJet, Wizz and Icelandair are offering flights to Reykjavik. Now that looks very pleasant Switzerland Normal rating 5/10 Can I go? Yes, but you will need to self-isolate when you return to Britain. The mask rules in Switzerland are similar to Britain’s. They are required in shops, restaurants (when not sitting down), and other indoor public areas. However, the country is clinging on to normality in other ways, keeping businesses open and prioritising the economy. It has even been dubbed the new Sweden, with finance minister Ueli Maurer warning a second lockdown would be “disastrous”. He accused the Swiss National Covid-19 Science Task Force of “short-sightedness and moralising”, branding its scientists as “know-it-alls”. “We have to live, we have to be able to earn money, to be able to shop,” he said. Covid cases per 100,000 (last 7 days): 352.9 Where to go? Our regular contributor William Cook is a big fan of underrated Basel (EasyJet and BA will fly you there). Pretty little Basel CREDIT: GETTY Estonia Normal rating 8/10 Can I go? Not unless you are able to self-isolate on arrival. Masks are recommended in crowded indoor spaces, but not mandatory. They trust people to make their own risk-based decisions. Sadly, if you’re arriving from the UK, you’ll need to self-isolate for 14 days, but you have the option of taking a test to reduce this. Covid cases per 100,000 (last 7 days): 161 Best of the rest Mask wearing is relatively rare in Gibraltar, Denmark, Latvia, the Netherlands and Germany, but required in indoor public spaces. Belarus is the Sweden of Eastern Europe (no mask), but its volatile political situation hardly makes it an enticing travel option. Long-haul I am struggling to find decent recommendations beyond Europe. The Foreign Office website contains little information on face mask rules for non-European countries, and much of what it has it out-of-date. This website has useful info and links but is not comprehensive. In the most part, they seem to be mandatory in indoor public spaces, but not outdoors.

A recent visitor to Tanzania, the so-called Sweden of Africa, Sarah Marshall wrote: “Borders have remained open, there are no testing requirements for entry, and anyone is allowed in. It sounds like a melting pot for a Covid casserole, but extraordinarily, official figures suggest there have been only 509 cases and 21 deaths – although those statistics haven’t been updated since May. “In Arusha, I witnessed scenes I’d long forgotten in Europe: crowds squeezing through market stalls; bars spilling with noisy revellers; friends greeting each other with hugs in the street. No-one was wearing a mask.” They are worn in airports and in public areas of hotels, however.

Yes, but there are lots of hoops to jump through (including a test before departure) A recent addition to the travel corridor list, Cambodia recommends masks in certain scenarios but this is only guidance. The FCDO website states: “You’re expected to wear a face covering when inside the airport and many airlines will ask for face coverings to be worn.

Jan 18, 202000:32:27Tap to summarizeThe king who tried to escape death 1001 TALESDISCOURSES JUNE 14, 2017 SHARE “Wherever you go you will find death waiting for you,” states Osho. From our series 1001 Tales, compiled by Shanti. King horseback In all the directions death is waiting. In all the places death is waiting. I have heard a very famous story, a Sufi story: A king dreamt. In the night in his dream he saw Death. He became afraid. He asked, “What is the matter? Why are you making me so frightened?” Death said, “I have come to tell you that tomorrow, by sunset, I am coming, so get ready. It is just out of compassion so that you can prepare.” The king was so shocked, his sleep was broken. It was the middle of the night; he called his ministers and he said, “Find people who can interpret the dream, because time is short. Maybe it is true!” Then the interpreters came, but as interpreters always have been, they were great scholars. They brought many big books and they started discussing and disputing and arguing. And the sun started rising, and it was morning. And an old man, who was a very trusted servant to the king, he came to the king and he whispered in his ear, “Don’t be foolish! These people will quarrel for ever and ever, and they will never come to any conclusion.” Now, everybody was trying that his interpretation was right, and the king was more confused than ever. So he asked the old man, “Then what am I supposed to do?” He said, “Let them continue their discussions. They are not going to conclude so soon – and the sun will be setting, because once it has risen the sunset is not very far. Rather, take my advice and escape – at least escape from this palace. Be somewhere else! By the evening reach somewhere as far away as possible.” The logic looked right. The king had a very fast horse, the fastest in the world. He rushed, he escaped. Hundreds of miles he passed. By the time he reached a certain town, the sun was just about to set. He was very happy. He patted his horse and he said, “You did well. We have come very far.” And when he was patting his horse, suddenly he felt somebody was standing behind him. He looked back – the same shadow of Death. And Death started laughing. And the king said, “What is the matter? Why are you laughing?” Death said, “I was worried because you were destined to die under this tree – and I was worried how you would manage to reach. Your horse is really great! It did well. Let me also pat your horse. That’s why I came in your dream: I wanted you to escape from the palace, because I was very worried how it would happen, how you would be able to reach. The place looked so far away and only one day was left. But your horse did well, you have come in time.” Wherever you go you will find death waiting for you. So, that cannot be avoided – then mind starts imagining some way to avoid it.

Nyírbátor Elhunyt 1614. augusztus 21. (54 évesen)[1][2] Csejtei vár Állampolgársága magyar Házastársa Nádasdy Ferenc Szülei Báthory Anna Báthori György Foglalkozása sorozatgyilkos A Wikimédia Commons tartalmaz Báthori Erzsébet témájú médiaállományokat. Ecsedi Báthori Erzsébet vagy Báthory[m 1] (Nyírbátor, 1560. augusztus 7. – Csejte, 1614. augusztus 21.) magyar grófn?, a történelmi Báthori-család szülötte. A család a sváb származású Gutkeled nemzetségb?l ered. Báthori Erzsébet alakját rémséges és kegyetlen tettek legendái övezik, amelyek mára úgy váltak világszerte ismertté mint a vámpírszer? borzalmak egyik jelképe. Habár a történelemtudomány ma már koncepciós vádakként tekint ezekre, az újabb és újabb feldolgozások és kitalált történetek, még mindig a magyar história egyik legismertebb tévképzetét folytatva és er?sítve, negatív színben tüntetik fel alakját és életét. Azonban a Báthory Erzsébet elleni vizsgálatot nem a kínvallatásnak alávetett „tanúk” által elmondott borzalmak teszik átláthatatlanná, hanem az ügyében vádlóként szerepl?k kiismerhetetlen politikai és emberi szándékai. Férje, Nádasdy Ferenc magyar f?nemes. a magyar rendi ellenzék vezéralakja volt, aki a végvári harcok egyik legjelent?sebb hadvezéreként 1604-ben meghalt. Halála után az özvegyen maradt Báthory Erzsébet hamarosan komoly támadások céljává vált. Özvegyen maradva ? irányította a több százezer holdas birtokait, támogatta a külföldön tanuló peregrinus diákokat, jobbágyaival nagy szeretettel bánt. Hitelesnek min?sült levelei alapján egyértelm?en szociális érzékenységgel megáldott, istenhív? nemesasszony volt. Gyógyítással is foglalkozott, kastélya kórházként m?ködött. Valószín?leg birtokainak elkobzása volt az ellene felhozott hamis és koncepciós vádak („Több leányt és szüzet és más n?ket, akik lakosztályában tartózkodtak, kegyetlenül és a halál különböz? nemeivel megölt és megöletett.”) indítéka.[3][4] Kutatások szerint Báthory Erzsébet szoros rokoni kapcsolatot tartott fenn unokaöccsével, Báthory Gábor erdélyi fejedelemmel, aki 1605-ben nyíltan átállt Bocskai István pártjára, akit pedig 1605. április 17-én a szerencsi országgy?lés Magyarország és Erdély fejedelmévé választott. A fejedelmi rokon éppen Báthory Erzsébet meggyanúsításakor tervezett egy nagy Habsburg-ellenes hadjáratot, s ez a tény is közrejátszhatott a koholt vádak megfogalmazásakor.[5] Thurzó György eljárásában Báthory Erzsébet egy politikai b?nügy áldozata lehetett, mert a nádornak a hatalmas vagyonra is fájt a foga, de még a Báthoryak elleni sért?döttsége is motiválhatta. A nyomozás során[6] a tanúknak feltett kérdések rávezet?ek voltak, a válaszokat kínvallatással csikarták ki, amelyeket már a korabeli jogfelfogás sem fogadott el perdönt?eknek.[7][8] Báthory Erzsébet harminc éven keresztül élt házasságban Nádasdy Ferenccel, aki hadvezérként a törökkel folytatott harcokban sikeres volt. Öt gyerekük született: Anna, Orsolya, Kató, Pál és András, közülük Anna, Kató és Pál érte meg a feln?ttkort. A tényeket kutató történészek Báthory Erzsébet két, saját kezével a férjének írt levelét ismerik 1596-ból, és azokban a gyermekeikr?l és a betegeskedéseikr?l számol be férjének, és semmi sem utal bennük lelki rendellenességre.[9] „ Az én szerelmes uramnak, az Nagyságos Nádasdy Ferencznek, nekem szerelmes uramnak adassék ez levél. …Az gyermekek fel?l Kegyelmednek írhatom, hogy az Anna, Istennek legyen hála, egészségben vagyon, az Orsiknak az szemei igen fájnak, s Katónak ismét megveszett a szája. Magam Istennek legyen hála, egészségbe vagyok, csakhogy a szemeim fájnak. Kegyelmed szolgáló leánya Bátori Erzsébet. ” – Báthori Erzsébet levele férjéhez, Nádasy Ferenchez Tartalomjegyzék 1 Élete 2 Báthori Erzsébet címere 3 Állítólagos vérfürd? és egyéb könyörtelenségek legendája 4 Letartóztatása 5 Koncepciós vádak 6 Báthori Erzsébet alakja a m?vészetben 7 Irodalom 8 Megjegyzések 9 Jegyzetek 10 Források 11 További információk Élete Ecsed vára 1688-ban, ahol Báthori Erzsébet a vár kastélyában töltötte gyermekkorát, 1575-ig Apja ecsedi Báthori György volt, aki 1570-ben halt meg, anyja somlyói Báthory Anna, anyjának testvére Báthory István fejedelem (1571–1586), aki kés?bb lengyel király lett (1575–1586). Báthori Erzsébet az ecsedi vár kastélyában töltötte gyermekkorát. Nádasdy Ferenc gróffal, aki nála öt évvel volt id?sebb, tizenegy éves korában jegyezték el egymást. 1575-ben léptek frigyre, amire még Miksa magyar király is hivatalos volt, habár ? az út veszélyeire hivatkozva nem jött el. Nádasdy gróf feleségének a csejtei kastélyt és a körülötte lév? 12 falut adta nászajándékba. A Pöstyén közelében fekv? összes falu csak 1602-t?l lett a Nádasdyak tulajdona. Erzsébet el?ször Sárvárra került, ahol a Nádasdy családnak volt kastélya, majd ezután nemsokára a Pöstyén közelében fekv? Csejtére költöztek. Nádasdy Ferencet – aki gy?ztes csatái és várvívásai nyomán a rettegett „Fekete Bég” nevet szerezte magának a törökök körében[10] – az Oszmán Birodalom ellen vívott csatározások kötötték le, Erzsébet sokat tartózkodott egyedül, magányos és zárkózott volt. Pártfogásába vette a török által kirabolt-fölégetett falvak legyilkolt férfiainak özvegyeit, a meger?szakolt, mindenükb?l kifosztott lányokat-asszonyokat, nemzetiségükre való megkülönböztetés nélkül. 1603 ?szén Nádasdy Ferenc egy Buda környékén vívott csatát követ?en már betegen tért haza Sárvárra, [11] és 1604. január 4-én[12] váratlanul meghalt. Erzsébet ezután özvegyként élt tovább. Nádasdy Ferenc a „fekete bég” „ Én az tekintetös és nagos batory Ersebeth asszony, az néhai tekintetös és nagos Nádasdy Ferenc meghagyott özvegye […] az én szerelmes három gyermekimnek, hajadon két leányom és neveletlen kis fiamnak, özvegy kezemre és gondviselésemre jutván egész ez ideig Istenem kegyelmes segétségéb?l, özvegységemnek szorgalmatos gondviselésével, nem csak jószágok állapotjából és testi táplálásokból az ? rendik szerint viseltem gondjokat anyai szeretetemb?l; de mikor az felséges Isten az ? kegyelmes jóvoltából szerencséjeket az két leányomnak, Nádasdy Annának és Katának megmutatta is, kiért dicsértessék az ? áldott szent neve, a ki minden árvákra és özvegyekre kegyelmes gondvisel?nk; azokat az ? alkalmatos idejekben, atyai házokból szüléikhez illend? tisztességes költségvel férjhez is adtam; […] És nagy gondviselésemmel, fiamnak is Nádasdy Pálnak neveködésében ?rizésére, tanóságára és idejét az nagy Úristen arra hozván tizenkét esztendeje eltelvén, f?ispánságnak tisztire az böcsületes Vasvármegyében megesködni, ahhoz illend? tisztességes módjával és költségével gondját viseltem Istenem kegyelmes segétsége által, kiért dicsértessék az ? áldott szent neve... ” – Báthori Erzsébet végrendelete 1610. szeptember 3-án Házasságukból hat gyermek született: Anna (kb. 1585 – 1605 után), Zrínyi Miklós dunántúli f?kapitány felesége Katalin (kb. 1594 – ?), Homonnai Drugeth György felesége Pál (1593/1597 – 1633/1650), Nádasdy Ferenc apja, akit I. Lipót a Wesselényi-összeesküvésben való részvétele miatt 1671-ben lefejeztetett András (1598 – 1603) Miklós (? – ?), Zrínyi Zsuzsanna férje Orsolya (? – ?) Báthori Erzsébet címere Báthori Erzsébet családi címere, a címerpajzson a Báthory család három vörös ékje ezüst alapon, id?vel az ékeket ívelt vonallal rajzolták meg, melyet a régi magyar heraldikai hagyományok szerint farkasfognak neveztek Azért került sárkányfog a Gutkeled nemzetség családi címerébe, akikt?l a Báthoryak is származtatták magukat, és származnak a Báthory-címer díszei is, mert az egyik ?sük, a Báthori család eredetmondája szerint, Bátor Opos vitéz, a bajor Vencelint?l ered? Márton fia Szent István korában legy?zte, és megölte az Ecsedi-lápban rejt?z? sárkányt. A h?s vitéz, hogy bizonyságát vigye tettének, kitörte a sárkány három fogát, és ennek jutalmául nyerte el a szabolcsi Vid-birtokot. Ezt a motívumot er?sítette a család egyes ?seinek tagsága a Sárkány Lovagrendben is, amelynek jele a pajzs köré tekered? sárkány, a körré görbült sárkány képe, amint farkát nyaka köré tekeri, és háta közepén hosszában feje és orra elejét?l farka végéig fel van hasítva, s a vére vesztése miatt fehér és vértelen hasíték bels? széle mentén hosszában elhelyezett vörös keresztet visel. A heraldikában ez a legteljesebben, legbiztosabban meghatározható magyar nemzetségi címer.[13] Állítólagos vérfürd? és egyéb könyörtelenségek legendája Els?ként egy protestáns prédikátor, Nádasdy Ferenc udvari papja és tábori lelkésze, Magyari István kezdte terjeszteni a hírt arról, hogy Csejte úrn?je a kastélyában okkult tudományokkal foglalkozik, és ördögi praktikákat folytat.[14][15] Báthory Erzsébet legendája egy 1729-ben megjelent, a Magyar Királyságot és uralkodóit bemutató Tragica historia cím? könyvben szerepelt el?ször.[16] Ekkor keltette Turóczi László jezsuita az asszony rosszhírét mint aki a vért mint szépít?szert használja.[17] „ Báthory Erzsébet, aki házasságban élt Nádasdy Ferenccel, hogy ennek a férfinak elkötelezettje legyen, lemondott a katolikus szentségekrõl, és a lutheránus hittel kötötte össze magát, amelyet férje vallott. Itt kezd?dik bukása. Beszennyezte Isten hitét, hogy ezzel is férje kedvében járjon. Vénusz, akit szolgálók keze ékesít, szorgalmasan nézegeti magát a tükörben. Kezét minden munkától megkímélte, nem kell semmilyen kötelességet teljesítenie. Hiú módon körbepillant, miközben a fés?nek a lehet? legkíméletesebben kell a haját érintenie. … E munka közben esik meg, hogy egyik el?vigyázatlan szolgálója megrántja az elragadó Héra haját. Erzsébetben felforr a düh, büntetésképpen azonnal szájon vágja a lányt. A lány vére kiserken, egy csepp az úrn? arcára hull, ? egy vászonnal letörli azt, és a helye – elámulva mondhatjuk! – részben megszépül. Közelebbr?l is megnézi, és csoda tárul eléje: az a hely vonzóbb lett… ” – Turóczi László jezsuita szerzetes, Tragica historia, 17...

Han sido cerca de tres mil asesinatos, perpetrados sistemáticamente desde el mismo momento en que la UP hizo su aparición en el escenario político, en 1986. Entre las víctimas, dos candidatos a la Presidencia, cientos de líderes regionales y locales, y muchos, muchísimos partidarios de esa agrupación. Como si fuera poco, la UP ha tenido que soportar, además de la política de aniquilamiento, una dolorosa indiferencia por parte de la sociedad y una escandalosa inoperancia por parte de la justicia colombiana. Para utilizar términos muy de actualidad, en el caso de la UP –tampoco– ha habido “justicia”, “verdad” ni “reparación”. ¿Cómo explicar lo que ha sucedido? ¿De dónde han salido las órdenes para “acallar” a voceros y seguidores de un partido político? ¿Por qué la sociedad y el Estado se han mostrado tan indolentes, cuando no molestos, ante lo ocurrido? La UP surgió de los acuerdos de paz entre las Farc y el gobierno de Belisario Betancur. Los dirigentes guerrilleros tenían la intención de contar con un brazo político propio, una estrategia nefasta, encaminada a multiplicar los frentes de acción de la insurgencia. En pocas palabras, la lucha no debía desarrollarse exclusivamente desde la ilegalidad –la guerra–; había también que aprovechar los espacios que ofrecía la vilipendiada democracia. Desde un comienzo, la gran prensa, la Iglesia, los gremios, los partidos tradicionales, el Ejército, se apresuraron a condenar a la UP por sus inocultables vínculos con las Farc. Razón no les faltaba, pues el brazo armado de la guerrilla pervertía el juego democrático allí donde la insurgencia tenía poder. Pero esos mismos sectores se mostraron mucho menos escandalizados frente a la política de aniquilamiento desatada por la extrema derecha contra la UP. Su indiferencia tampoco cambió cuando el partido, bajo la conducción de nuevos líderes que buscaban una mayor independencia con respecto a las Farc, empezó a criticar no sólo la “combinación de todas las formas de lucha”, sino la violencia como mecanismo para impulsar los cambios que el país necesitaba. Es decir, la guerra contra la UP no obedecía a sus vínculos con las Farc, como sostenían sus enemigos. Para amplios sectores de la clase dirigente, la creación y, peor aún, la consolidación de un partido de izquierda constituía una amenaza para sus intereses. En una alianza siniestra, miembros del Ejército, terratenientes, políticos locales, paramilitares, etc., recurrieron al terror para arrasar con todo lo que oliera a izquierda. Algunos periodistas, políticos y académicos han denunciado el doble discurso que la izquierda utilizó durante un buen tiempo. Pero también han sacado a la luz la guerra a muerte que libraron los sectores más reaccionarios contra la UP. Sin embargo, pese a todo tipo de evidencias, todavía son muchos los que se empecinan en negar los hechos. Ahora, a raíz de un libro sobre estos temas (Steven Dudley, Armas y urnas. Historia de un genocidio político, Planeta, 2008), en el que se analiza cuidadosamente una realidad bastante compleja, resulta, según algunos defensores a ultranza del Estado, que los únicos culpables son las Farc. Esa es la ventaja de tener siempre a la mano todo tipo de chivos expiatorios. * Profesor del Departamento de Historia de la Universidad de los Andes.
