Climate change threatens food supplies


"One area where we will have to adapt very quickly is in food production,"

The head of Australia's national science organisation says climate change poses extraordinary challenges to global food production in the future.
CSIRO chief executive Megan Clark has warned higher prices on water and agricultural carbon emissions will make it difficult to sustain the world's growing urban population.
Dr Clark told the National Press Club in Canberra that the amount of food needed over the next 50 years is equal to the total amount of food ever produced by humans.
"That means in the working life of my children as much grain as has ever been harvested since the Egyptian time," she said.
"As much fish as we've ever eaten, as much milk as we've ever taken from reluctant cows on frosty mornings, every frosty morning that we've ever known."
She says the challenge will be made even more difficult because climate change will put a higher price on water and on agricultural carbon emissions.
"One area where we will have to adapt very quickly is in food production,"
she said.
"It is really hard for me to comprehend that in the next 50 years, we'll have to produce as much food as we have ever produced in human history."

Radio Globo, Honduras.The Voice of the resistance to the coup.








Recent events show the world that the army and police of Honduras are over the constitution of the Republic, only in the service of a class dictatorship of the wealthy and privileged over 80% of the country's poor that has no representative in the National Assembly where it is forbidden to discuss issues of social justice and equity of participatory rights for the entire population.
the root of the problem is on the need for the army of Honduras and the police to have mandatory respond to the Constitution of Honduras and, in the National Assembly, leaders of the poor have representation to expose social problems but nobody has spoken at the OAS about.
Because high levels of corruption,based on moral, ethical and legal reasons, what happened in Honduras forces governments of the United States, Canada,
Spain and the European Union to monitor the activities of its banks and companies in this Central American country because of the possibility of being involved in a "status quo " discriminatory towards the majority of Hondurans populkation, actually, in helplessness before its own legal system, as well as NGOs in the international community and consumers in rich countries should be alert and warned of the marketing of goods produced by corporations based in Honduras recruitment of labor in semi-slavery conditions.

Debido a que existen altos niveles de corrupcion, y a razones eticas, morales y legales, lo ocurrido en Honduras obliga a los gobiernos de Estados Unidos, Canada, Espana y la Union Europea a monitorear la actividad de sus bancos y empresas en ese pais centroamericano debido a la posibilidad de estar involucradas en un "status quo" discriminatorio hacia la mayoria de los hondurenos en indefension ante sus propio sistema legal, asi como las organizaciones no gubernamentales de la comunidad internacional y los consumidores de paises ricos deben estar alertas y prevenidos sobre la comercializacion de articulos producidos en Honduras por corporaciones basadas en la contratacion de mano de obra en condiciones de semi-esclavitud.

Recordamos, que, cuando no existia ni Chavez, ni los chinos, ni los rusos en America Latina, en una situacion parecida a la que actualmente presenta Honduras en tasas demograficas y posicion geopolitica, en Cuba, el 10 de Marzo de 1952, el general Fulgencio Batista, apoyado por Estados Unidos, dio un golpe de estado tres meses antes de las elecciones generales violando la Consitucion de 1940 que finalmente desaparecio por completo en un proceso revolucionario que dividio la nacion y lanzo intempestivamente a la clase minoritaria rica cubana a la emigracion hacia Estados Unidos y Espana con perdida total de riquezas, propiedades y privilegios en una lucha de clases que dura hasta nuestros dias con una poderosa influencia en las relaciones de Estados Unidos y la Union Europea con America Latina.

This process in which the army and police shy away from the constitution and the country's population is the biggest indicator of high levels of administrative corruption as happened in Cuba in the aftermath of the coup d'etat of Fulgencio Batista with similar demographic indicators to Honduras current.

Los acontecimientos recientes demuestran al mundo que el ejercito y la policia de Honduras,por encima de la constitucion de la Republica, estan al servicio de una dictadura de la clase rica y privilegiada sobre el 80% de la poblacion pobre del pais que no tiene ningun representante en la Asamblea Nacional donde esta prohibido debatir temas de justicia social y equidad de derechos participativos para toda la poblacion.

Sobre la necesidad de que el ejercito de Honduras y la policia respondan a la Constitucion y en la Asamblea Nacional los lideres de los pobres tengan representacion para exponer problemas sociales no se ha hablado en la OEA.



United States and the European Union would have ended quickly with the coup in Honduras freezing the bank accounts of the coup and landlords as well as bank transfers. internationally, but have preferred delaying maneuvers in the OAS with a situation that suits them for the domination of their businesses in Latin America.

America and Europe, particularly Spain, can not take lightly the civilian-military coup in Honduras because sooner or later, will topple the country's constitution as a coup overthrow the constitution of 1940 gave way in Cuba a bloody and painful process that divided the nation, especially if we take into consideration that occurs in a volatile area of very high drug trafficking activities, forever linked to terrorism, and is the area, the Central American region that most illegal immigrants launched by sea to the U.S. from across Latin America.

Central banks in the U.S. and Europe can easily monitor any movement of currency or/ and "money laundering" to support the coup d'etat in Honduras, as everyone knows by Pinochet's secret bank accounts that came to light recently behind military and civilian conspirators against a consitucional President, as usual, the local oligarchy move millions in currency transfers from rich countries banks and tax havens.

Much worse than Chavez's influence is the chaos that this may give rise across the region as a step with the coup of Fulgencio Batista in Cuba.


Estados Unidos y la Union Europea hubieran terminado rapidamente con el golpe de estado en Honduras congelando las cuentas bancarias de los golpistas y los terratenientes, visas de negocios y turismo de la clase rica, asi como las transferencias bancarias,. internacionalmente, pero han preferido dilatar con maniobras rocambolescas en la OEA una situacion que creen que les conviene para la dominacion de sus empresas en America Latina y parar la influencia de Chavez, dando tiempo a que se vacie de contenido la personalidad politica de Zelaya, un pensamiento infantil en un mundo de economia global que requiere imaginacion y nuevas soluciones a viejos problemas jamas resueltos, ni en la izquierda, ni en la derecha.

Sin embargo, sin hacemos un analisis profundo e historico del problema, America y Europa, particularmente Espana, no pueden tomar a la ligera el golpe de militares y civiles en Honduras porque, tarde o temprano, va a derribar la constitucion del pais al igual que un golpe de estado derribo la constitucion de 1940 en Cuba dando paso a un proceso sangriento y doloroso que dividio a la nacion hasta hoy, por varias generaciones, sobre todo si tomamos en consideracion que se produce en una zona volatil por la miseria, de muy alta actividad del narcotrafico, siempre vinculado al terrorismo, y es el area, la centroamericana, que mas inmigrantes ilegales ha lanzado por mar a Estados Unidos de toda America Latina, aunque la prensa poco ha hablado de esto ultimo para dar mas enfasis al caso de Cuba con mucho menor inmigracion.

Los bancos centrales de Estados Unidos y Europa pueden monitorear facilmente cualquier movimiento o "lavado de dinero" para dar el golpe de estado en Honduras, ya que como todo el mundo sabe por las cuentas secretas de Pinochet que salieron a la luz, detras de militares y civiles complotados contra un Presidente constitucional invariablemente se mueven millones de dolares provenientes de dinero lavado (para operaciones especiales) de transferencias de moneda, de bancos de paises ricos y paraisos fiscales.

Mucho peor que el temor a la influencia de Chavez es el caos a que esto puede dar origen en toda la region como paso despues del golpe de estado de Fulgencio Batista en Cuba.

The youth of Honduras in the streets facing ten wealthy families who paid the goverment and army.Micheleti actually represents them.

Eye was clear to the world that the U.S. conduct "frivolous" to Micheleti , this set of military and oligarchy civil conspirators against President Zelaya never dared to "non legal" court proceedings, nor to massacre the population of Honduras with the army and the police or to develop an electoral process through curfews, muzzled press and assembly under the heel of the oligarchy who have his money in U.S. bank deposits so that the geopolitics toward the region by Washington in its opposition to the influence of Chavez and Russia , would be acts "under the table" as political hegemony as happened with Allende in Chile, Micheleti really, what shall declare Obama, has a blank check from Washington in his hands and President Zelaya is the black sheep with more defects than virtues despite the fact that he is the constitutional president of the country. Washington don't cares about democracy in Latin America or human rigths, it seems, no matter, to be democrat President or dictator "de facto" when it comes to U.S. ambitions in terms of spheres of influence in Latin America.This is reflected in the importance in American politics that have claimed two problems of different nature, even without a solution: Iran and Honduras, both linked to a Russian spheres of influences.
Queda claro ante los ojos del mundo entero que sin una conducta "frivola" de Estados Unidos hacia Micheleti, esta junto de complotados contra el Presidente jamas se hubiera atrevido a un proceso extrajudicial, ni a masacrar la poblacion de Honduras con el ejercito y la policia, ni a desarrollar un proceso electoral en medio de toques de queda, prensa amordazada y una asamblea bajo la bota de la oligarquia que tiene su dinero en depositos bancarios norteamericanos de manera que la geopolitica de Washington en la region por su oposicion a la influencia de Chavez y de Rusia en la region,obra como hegemonismo politico al igual que pasara con Allende en Chile, realmente Micheleti, declare lo que declare Obama, tiene un cheque en blanco de Washington en sus manos y Zelaya es la oveja negra con mas defectos que virtudes pese a que de hecho es el presidente constitucional del pais.?Le importa a Washington la democracia en America Latina?, todo parece indicar que para Washington poco importa ser democrata o dictador "de facto" cuando se trata de las ambiciones de Estados Unidos en cuanto a esferas de influencia en America Latina.Esto se refleja en la importancia dentro de la politica norteamericana que han cobrado dos problemas, de distinta naturaleza, aun sin solucion: Iran y Honduras, ambos vinculados a las esferas de influencia de Rusia.John Locke, English physician and philosopher, 1832-1704 was the first to establish the ethics of social responsibility in the bourgeois right much more comprehensive than the ideologues of the French Revolution to get worked individual rights.
John Locke is the philosopher who has a direct influence on the Constitution of the United States of America (We, the people...") that for the first time in history of humanity provides the protection of the legal person "common" under U.S. jurisdiction and justify the goal of "happiness of the People "without mentioning even once the word "property".

"Fair trade" (The logo)
ideal in the international economy relation of the rich with the poor nation born from this british philosofy but it is impossible to apply under condition of explotation of rich minoritary class based on non democratic participation and poverty of the 80% of the population as in Honduras is happening, now.


The Honduran oligarchy must learn the Cuban lesson, a non-democratic country, ruled by a communist party, with very low rates of violence, disease and emigration with respect to Central America and Mexico, which grants social security, access to education until University, medicine sport, culture, work, housing for all citizens and in addition, guarantees basic food diet. If Honduras is applied ethics of bourgeois right all Honduran citizens without discrimination against any of them in participatory democracy they could offer a similar opportunity as that enjoyed by every citizens of Cuba providing access to social gains to the whole population of Honduras without the need to impose a dictatorship of privileged families for their wealth and power that presidents removed and put "ab lib.

Taking into consideration that most of the 80% oh hondurians are illiterate, are not entitled to any kind of social security, physician care, even legal personality in his own country and live as slaves crushed by a rich minority of ten families and his associates, as with one of the highest rates of emigration from in Latin America: the social explosion in Honduras is touching the door to Micheleti coupd'etat, as in Cuba happen in 1959 at that time in similar conditions as hondurians today, that could throughout Latin America to trigger a sharp slowdown in the countries of open democracies as step happen after the overthrow of Allende in Chile. In many Latin American countries, foreign companies will be monitored by governments to root of what is happening in Honduras now and this could hinders trade in the region.


80% of Hondurans do not have internet access, or actually have the means to express their opinions in the media, a silent majority that may be the trigger for social unrest due to the "status quo" of coup d'etat..
"The resistance of ordinary people in their unequal struggle against 7,000 soldiers and 10,000 police, lack of solidarity against the 10 families that control the country, against an entire political class that last Sunday in June was welcomed with much fanfare, pleased the military pajamas had kidnapped the president's constitutional." in
"Zelaya, in the ladies' room" by PAUL ORDAZ (Special Envoy) - Tegucigalpa - 27/09/2009 "EL PAIS", Madrid, Spain,

Nobody should be mistaken, the youth of Honduras is fully aware that behind the de facto government of Micheleti are the dark interests of small groups of wealthy who traffic in stateless misery of millions of Hondurans, which has led to its oppressive behavior of the highest rates of emigration to the United States of the region and who also received the support of capital and foreign partners associated with the plundering of Latin America and the destruction of the environment.
Nor America nor the European Union can endorse, give credit to such infamy, nor should be responsible for further globalize what is currently in Latin America: oppression, servitude and misery of millions of Hondurans, or Pledge generaciones future of their young in the hands of a handful of rich contemptuous and cruel to his own people so to keep their privileges and perks Consitucion trampling of Honduras and the International Public Law as usual in the region by priviledged families with the psichology of slave owners.

La juventud de Honduras tiene valor y dignidad y debe ser apoyada por la comunidad internacional.


The youth of Honduras are showing the world her civic courage, patriotic and dignity to hit the streets to support President Zelaya, and challenge the civic-military board "de facto" that is actually manipulated, really, under the table, by a minority of rich landowners operators, foreign partners and companies transnational investments in this Central American country.
The young Hondurans know that there are two options, or be exploited as meek servants of the leaders and foreign investors or owning their own country and destiny.
In Honduras, not only solve the social problem with the replacement of Zelaya, but with the dialogue between classes to undertake profound social reforms without a class struggle not to go throwing thousands of Hondurans to emigrate to the U.S. and Spain as usual today, that gives each citizen the opportunity to participate as Honduran with real legal protection in his own country, legal and constitutional economics, social goods and the politics of his country.
Currently, the Honduran Constitution actually protects, under the jackboot, the handful of rich and their foreign partners who forged and supported the coup.
Honduran youth deserve a future of peace and harmony as well as millions of Hondurans who are kept in their homeland as slaves of petty interests.
The companies and corporations that today are collaborating with the coup plotters in Honduras should be monitored by the international community because they are in fact primarily responsible for the misery of the Honduran people, today, under the boot of a small group of wealthy and privileged and their foreign partners as it was Cuba before 1959.

Jhon Locked,medico y filosofo ingles, 1832-1704 fue el primero en establecer la etica de la responsabilidad social en el derecho burgues mucho mas abarcador que los ideologos de la Revolucion Francesa que exhaltaban los derechos individuales.

Jhon Locked, es el filosofo que tuvo una influencia directa sobre La Constitucion de Los Estados Unidos de America ("Nosotros, el pueblo...") que por primera vez en la historia de la humanidad establece la proteccion de la persona juridica "comun" bajo jurisdiccion norteamericana y justifica como objetivo "la felicidad del Pueblo" sin mentar ni una sola vez la palabra propiedad.El "Fair Trade" es inaplicable en Honduras donde una minoria rica y despreciativa de su propio pueblo y constitucion vive explotando el 80 % de la poblacion y la lanza a la emigracion hacia Estados Unidos y Espana para evitar estallidos sociales y mantener sus prebendas y privilegios.
La oligarquia hondurena debe aprender la leccion cubana, un pais no democratico, regido por la burocracia de un partido comunista, bajo embargo norteamericano durante medio siglo, con muy bajos indices de violencia,enfermedades, y de emigracion con respecto a Centroamerica y Mejico, que le otorga seguridad social,seguridad probada a la poblacion contra cambios climaticos superior a la de Estados Unidos, acceso a la educacion superior, medicina, al deporte, a la cultura, al trabajo, a la vivienda para todos sus ciudadanos, sin excepciones, y ademas, le garantiza una dieta basica de alimentos. Actualmente la matricula universitaria cubana se acerca al millon de estudiantes con doce millones de habitantes y su sistema de educacion y salud gratis universal es considerado uno de los mejores del mundo con indices superiores a Estados Unidos.
Si en Honduras se aplica la etica del derecho burgues a todos los ciudadanos hondurenos sin discriminar a ninguno de ellos, la democracia participativa pudiera ofrecer una posibilidad similar a la que tienen los ciudadanos de Cuba dando acceso a conquistas sociales a toda la poblacion de Honduras sin la necesidad de imponer una dictadura de burocratas de Partido o de familias privilegiadas por su riqueza y poder que quitan y ponen presidentes "ab lib" .
El 80% de los hondurenos no tiene acceso a internet, ni realmente, tiene medios de expresar su opinion en los medios de prensa, una mayoria silenciosa que puede ser el detonante de disturbios sociales debido al "status quo" de golpe de estado. Si tomamos en consideracion que la mayoria de ellos son analfabetos, no tienen derecho a seguridad social, atencion de medicos, ni siquiera personalidad juridica en su propio pais y viven aplastados como siervos de una minoria rica, con uno de los mas altos indices de emigracion de America Latina: la explosion social en Honduras esta tocandole la puerta a Micheleti, tal y como paso en Cuba el 1 de Enero de 1959 en condiciones similares a las de los hondurenos de hoy, y pudiera desencadenar en toda America Latina un fuerte retroceso en los paises de democracias abiertas tal y como paso con posterioridad al derrocamiento de Allende en Chile.
En numerosos paises latinoamericanos las empresas extranjeras estaran bajo observacion de los gobiernos a raiz de lo que ocurra en Honduras y esto dificultara el comercio en la region.
"La resistencia de la gente corriente en su lucha desigual contra 7.000 soldados y 10.000 policías, contra las 10 familias insolidarias que controlan el país, contra una clase política al completo que aquel último domingo de junio se felicitó con grandes aspavientos, complacida de que los militares hubiesen secuestrado en pijama al presidente constitucional del país."en "Zelaya, en el tocador de señoras" por

Nadie se llame a engano, la juventud de Honduras esta plenamente conciente que detras del gobierno de facto de Micheleti estan los oscuros intereses de pequenos grupos de ricos apatridas que trafican con la miseria de millones de hondurenos, que ha provocado con su conducta opresiva una de las mas altas tasas de emigracion hacia Estados Unidos y Espana de la region y que ademas recibe el apoyo de capitales y socios extranjeros asociados al saqueo de America Latina y la destruccion del medioambiente.(Esas empresas tan explotadoras del metal del diablo que pagan centavos, sin responsabilidad de beneficios, ni seguro de salud que le de atencion medica al trabajador y su familia, ni seguridad social, ni justicia laboral y administrativa,simples "negreros esclavistas" que reciben a cambio millones y que operan con impunidad con gobiernos "de facto" como el de Micheleti y tantos como el, destruyendo invariablemente el ecosistema, en latinoamerica y el caribe con entera impunidad de los paises ricos que se hacen de la vista gorda)
Ni Norteamerica, ni la Union Europea pueden refrendar, dar credito a tanta infamia, ni deben hacerse responsables de globalizar aun mas de lo que esta actualmente en America Latina, la opresion, la servidumbre y la miseria de millones de hondurenos, ni de empenar el futuro de sus jovenes genraciones en la manos de un punado de ricos despreciativos y crueles con su propio pueblo con tal de mantener sus privilegios y prebendas pisoteando la Consitucion de Honduras y el Derecho Internacional Publico.
Los jovenes de Honduras le estan demostrando al mundo valor civico, patriotico y dignidad al lanzarse a las calles para apoyar al Presidente Zelaya y desafiar la junta "de facto" que en realidad es manipulada por una minoria rica explotadoras de terratenientes, socios extranjeros y empresas transnacionales con inversiones en ese pais centroamericano.La jovenes hondurenos saben que hay dos opciones, o dejarse explotar como mansos criados de los jerarcas y los inversionistas extranjeros o ser duenos de su propio pais y destino.En Honduras, no solamente se soluciona el problema social con la reposicion de Zelaya, sino con el dialogo entre las clases para emprender profundas reformas sociales, sin una lucha de clases que no siga lanzando a miles de hondurenos a la emigracion hacia Estados Unidos y Espana, que le brinde a cada hondureno la posibilidad de participar con verdadera proteccion juridica, legal y constitucional de la economia, los bienes sociales y la politica de su pais.En la actualidad, la constitucion hondurena realmente protege, bajo la bota militar, al punado de ricos y sus socios extranjeros que fraguaron y apoyaron el golpe de estado.La juventud hondurena se merece un futuro de paz y armonia asi como millones de hondurenos que son mantenidos en su propia patria como siervos de intereses mezquinos.Las empresas y corporaciones que hoy colaboran con los golpistas de Honduras deben se monitoreadas por la comunidad internacional porque de hecho son las principales responsables de la miseria del pueblo hondurena, hoy, bajo la bota de un pequeno grupo de ricos y privilegiado y sus socios extranjeros, tal y como lo fue Cuba antes de 1959.

Zelaya, Honduras, "no lo contendere" "status quo"?



News is being received on communications between the President Zelaya of Honduras and government officials Micheleti coup, but the first condition "sine qua non" is to restore the democratically elected president by the people in office and from there to talk as have to talk in a general anmesty and with the participation in the National Assembly of the union leaders of Honduras. If the international community accepts a "status quo" based on a kidnapping and coup d'etat, without due process of courts, imposed by military and civilian conspirators in Latin America, will inevitably sharpen the class struggle and no democratically elected government, nor state will be stable in the region.

Let there be peace in Honduras, but in order.
For corporations and businesses in rich countries who go to Latin America with the mentality of looting and assaulting the environment to be provided with a quick profit, the civilian-military junta of Micheleti is a natural glove at his hands. Zelaya is a straw, an obstacle for them.
Because crimes against the immunity of a head of state, moreover, are violations of all international institutions and diplomatic constitutional law, and in fact, destabilize the entire region, I believe, that the issue of Honduras has sufficient merit to be discussed within the Security Council of United Nations for its implications in causing low-intensity conflicts throughout the region.
The international community must be clear, not only in the fact of "De Rerum Natura" of the current government "de facto" in Honduras is a coup in the early morning military operated with kidnapping and extradition of the constitutional President, something totally unacceptable to democracy in Latin America but that this "court" statement is executed, so the voids, makes it "not applicable" to any lawyer or legal proceedings to exhaust the list ipso facto subject reported in the process, so that the cause is canceled and not be judged by the same person twice for the same offense as claimed Micheleti or retroactive prosecutions can be established, all that seeks to legally Zelaya is inappropriate in any court anywhere in the world, nor to the Public international law governing United Nations or the Vienna Convention, to which Honduras is ascribed letters ..
If the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean look with tolerance that America and the European Union, which have more investments and interests in the region, admitted the existence of Micheleti as "status quo", which already do their international press agencies Micheleti's calling "ruler", when it is a government coup d'etat in Honduras, no democratically elected, all head of state in the region are sure they will have in the seat of government the Trojan Horse that demolished both Allende and Zelaya as at least expect it.

Se estan recibiendo noticias sobre comunicaciones entre el Presidente de Honduras Zelaya y funcionarios del gobierno de golpe de estado de Micheleti, pero la primera condicion "sine que non" es restituir el Presidente democraticamente electo por el pueblo en su cargo y a partir de ahi conversar cuanto haya que conversar bajo una anmistia general y con la participacion en la Asamblea Nacional de los lideres sindicales de Honduras. Si la comunidad internacional acepta un "status quo" basado en un secuestro y golpe de estado, sin debido proceso de tribunales, impuesto por militares y civiles complotados en America Latina, se agudizara inevitablemente la lucha de clases y ningun gobierno por eleccion democratica, ni estado sera estable en la region.
Que haya paz en Honduras, pero con orden.
Para las corporaciones y empresas de paises ricos que van a America Latina con la mentalidad de saquear y agredir el medio ambiente con tal de obtener ganancias rapidas, la junta civico-militar de Micheleti les viene como anillo al dedo.Zelaya es un clavo ardiendo, un obstaculo, para ellos.
Debido a que los delitos cometidos contra la inmunidad de un jefe de estado, ademas, constituyen violaciones a todas las instituciones internacionales del derecho constitucional y diplomatico, y de hecho, desestabilizan a toda la region, considero, que el tema de Honduras tiene el suficiente merito para ser debatido en el seno del Consejo de Seguridad de Naciones Unidas por sus implicaciones en el desencadenamiento de conflictos de baja intensidad en toda la region.
Si los gobiernos de America Latina y el Caribe miran con tolerancia que Estados Unidos y la Union European, los que mas inversiones e intereses tienen en la region, admitan la existencia de Micheleti como "status quo", algo que ya hacen sus agencias de prensa llamando a Micheleti "gobernante",cuando es un gobierno de golpe de estado en Honduras, ningun jefe de estado democraticamente electo estara seguro en la region sino que tendra en la sede de gobierno el Caballo de Troya que derribo tanto a Zelaya como Allende cuando menos se lo esperen.
La comunidad internacional tiene que estar clara, no solo en el hecho de "de rerum natura" del actual gobierno "de facto" en Honduras es un golpe de estado que en horas de la madrugada, un agravante de nocturnidad, operado por militares usando disparos y rompiendo puertas, otro agravante de violencia, con secuestro y extradiccion, delitos internacionales, del Presidente constitucional, otro delito sujeto a la causa por Magnicidio, son figuras delictivas graves extrajudiciales, algo totalmente inaceptable para la democracia en America Latina sino que el procedimiento "extrajudicial" y la forma y la naturaleza conque se ejecuto, de por si, vicia el proceso y la sentencia, la anula, la hace "no ha lugar" ante cualquier abogado o procedimiento juridico exhimiendo ipso facto al sujeto encartado y denunciado en el proceso de instruccion y, por tanto, se sobresee la causa ya que todo es indebido, de manera que la causa queda anulada y no se puede juzgar dos veces a una misma persona por el mismo delito como pretende Micheleti, ni se pueden establecer enjuiciamientos retroactivos, todo lo que se pretende con Zelaya legalmente es una mostruosidad juridica, improcedente ante cualquier tribunal y derecho, sea Napoleonico, de precedente legal norteamericano o corte inglesa, lo saben todos los abogados y fiscales en cualquier parte del mundo, ni ante el derecho internacional publico que rige Naciones Unidas, ni la Convencion de Viena, a cuyas cartas Honduras esta adscripta.Y esta es nuestra consideracion que someto a escrutinio de todos los juristas y diplomaticos que siguen este blog.
Por la causa que se quiere juzgar a Zelaya, por esa misma causa soldados ignorantes crucificaron a Jesucristo, Poncio Pilatos se lavo las manos y puso libre a un asesino y... Judas recibio como pago de su infamia treintres monedas y un plato de lentejas.

Honor Guard at Mauseleo of Jose Marti in the cementery of "Santa Efigenia" in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. Guardia de honor a Marti en el Mausuleo de "Santa Efigenia" en Santiago de Cuba, Cuba.

All that is acting on the union of all Cubans and Cuban Americans in the nation and the common historical and cultural heritage between the U.S. and Cuba, which was the guarantee of independence and nationhood in the past, as well as established and Felix Varela Jose Marti in Florida and New York, so it is today, the main geopolitical strategy of the sovereignty, independence of Cuba and Latin America
.
Todo cuanto obre por la union de todos los cubanos y cubanoamericanos en la Nacion, y por el patrimonio historico y cultural comun entre Estados Unidos y Cuba, lo que fue garantia de la independencia y la nacionalidad en el pasado,como asi lo establecieron Felix Varela y Jose Marti en Florida y Nueva York, asi como es hoy, la principal estrategia geopolitica de la soberania, la independencia de Cuba y America Latina.
Jose Marti at the center of the picture links to all Cubans for the independence of Cuba in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida, USA.
In North American soil, within the Cubans and Cuban exiles the Cuban nation was forged from the time of Felix Varela, who first taught us to think like Cubans.
The biggest challenge(for Cuba) would be sustained in reality a project that includes all the Cubans, to avoid a catastrophic social collapse and to ensure a decent life for all: Martiana Republic to be built "with all and for the good of all."(from Leonardo Padura interview in "El Pais")
.....................................................................................
Each Cuban and Cuban-American, the samed cuban Nation, must overcome the temptation to escalate social positions by political opportunism, that scourge of the colonial past to earn money without working position reached out the hand to Senator in charge in the way it deposited the ashes of the big cigar and then wiped with the same hand the senator's white guayabera, the sort that has not disappeared among us Cubans appears to be the most harmful to our union.We must be more ethical an have better bechavior inside us and with the other one if we want to be join in the cuban nation dreamed by Jose Marti.Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34233.
Yo pienso, con respecto a lo que el escritor Padura dice, que el sindrome de esclavitud y servidumbre heredado en la programcion del cerebro a partir del regimen de hacienda esclavista espanola, esa cultura marginal que se confunde con el folklore, nos divide mucho mas a los cubanos que cualquier influencia negativa de Stalin en Cuba.
Cada cubano y cubanoamericano debe vencer la tentacion de escalar posiciones sociales mediante el oportunismo politico, esa lacra del pasado colonial que para ganar dinero y posicion sin tener que trabajar extendia la mano para que el senador de turno le depositara la ceniza del tabaco en la mano y luego le limpiaba la blanca guayabera con la misma mano embarrada de ceniza, verdadera estupidez, esa especie que no ha desaparecido entre nosotros los cubanos, y que no fue un invento exportado por Stalin, resulta ser la mas danina a nuestra union.Tenemos que ser mas eticos y rectificar conductas con nosotros mismos y nuestros semejantes si queremos unirnos en la Nacion que sono Marti.(Ref:.

INTERVIEW: Leonardo Padura CUBAN WRITER

Cuban writer Leonardo Padura reflects on the "perversion" of socialism in 'The man who loved dogs, "his latest novel
MAURICIO VICENT - La Habana - 23/09/2009 Mauricio Vicent - Havana - 23/09/2009. "EL PAIS", Madrid, Spain.


The interview was held in his home district of Havana Mantilla, where Leonardo Padura has lived since he was born 54 years ago and where he has written nine novels he has published so far. La última, El hombre que amaba a los perros , recién salida en España, revive el crimen de Ramón Mercader, el asesino de León Trotsky, y reflexiona sobre la perversión del socialismo como gran utopía de la humanidad en el siglo XX. The last, The man who loved dogs, just out in Spain, relive the crime of Ramón Mercader, Trotsky's murderer, and reflects on the perversion of socialism as the great utopia of humanity in the twentieth century. Una utopía que, desde luego, tuvo consecuencias en Cuba. Utopia, of course, had consequences for Cuba.
Question. What's the story now?
Respuesta. Mercader es un hombre que estuvo alrededor de uno de los acontecimientos históricos más dramáticos, simbólicos y reveladores del siglo XX. Answer. Mercader is a man who spent over one of the most dramatic historical events, symbolic and revealing the twentieth century. Su historia, además, es permanente: un hombre que renuncia a todo por una fe, que se inmola por una ideología cargada de escolástica y trascendentalismo, como sin duda fue el socialismo soviético. Hes story also is permanent: a man who gives up everything for a faith that is sacrificed by an ideology full of scholastic and transcendentalism, as no doubt was Soviet socialism. Mercader es un símbolo de cómo el fanatismo es capaz de pervertir y utilizar a los humanos, y pocas realidades pueden ser más actuales. Merchant is a symbol of how fanaticism can pervert and use to humans, and few can be more current realities.
P. ¿Qué cosas descubrió durante la investigación que no sabía? Q. What things discovered during the investigation that he knew?
R. Durante cinco años consulté las fuentes más diversas. A. For five years I consulted many different sources. En todo ese proceso lo que más me impresionó fue descubrir lo poco que sabíamos los cubanos de mi generación de lo que había sido la verdadera historia soviética y comprender por qué ese país y esa sociedad debían desaparecer: eran criaturas falsas y enfermas desde hacía muchísimo tiempo que, incluso, practicaron la traición y el crimen de Estado. Throughout this process, what impressed me most was to discover how little we knew the Cubans of my generation than it had been real Soviet history and understand why that country and that society should disappear, creatures were false and had been sick a long time that even practiced treachery and state crime.
P. Uno de los protagonistas de su libro dice: "sintió pena por él mismo y por todos los que, engañados y utilizados, alguna vez creyeron en la validez de la utopía fundada en el desaparecido país de los Soviets". Q. One of the protagonists of his book says, "felt sorry for himself and all those who are misled and used ever believed in the validity of utopia founded in the late land of the Soviets. ¿Compartes esta reflexión? Do you share this thought?
R. Sí. A. Yes. Nuestro conocimiento de lo que ocurrió en la URSS fue parcial y seleccionado, se nos hizo creer en algo de lo que no conocíamos las entrañas más oscuras, que eran muchísimas. Our knowledge of what happened in the USSR was partial and selected, it made us believe in something they did not know the darkest depths, which were many. Creímos -o trataron de que creyéramos- que cada soviético era un hermano, que el futuro de la humanidad pertenecía por completo al socialismo y otras frases así. We thought, or tried to have us believe that every Soviet-era one brother, the future of mankind belonged completely to socialism, and other phrases as well. Y con aquellas frases iba toda una historia falsificada por Stalin, sus cómplices y sus seguidores, una ideología que se presentaba como la consumación del humanismo pero que en realidad arrastraba la sangre de diez, quince millones de víctimas. And with those words was a story fabricated by Stalin, his accomplices and his followers, an ideology that was presented as the consummation of humanism but actually drew the blood of ten, fifteen million victims. Y el sudor y la esperanza de otros muchísimos millones de creyentes. And the sweat and hope of many millions of other believers.
P. El protagonista de la novela casi llega a perdonar a Mercader. Q. The novel's protagonist comes to forgive almost Mercader. ¿Y usted? Do you?
R. Yo he tratado de entenderlo, de buscar sus razones. A. I have tried to understand, to seek their reasons. No niego que su final, casi abandonado, sabiendo que había sido utilizado y engañado, llega a provocar una cierta compasión. I do not deny that his final, almost abandoned, knowing that had been used and deceived, comes to bring some compassion. Pero no lo perdono, eso no. But I forgive him, not that. Siempre queda, incluso en el totalitarismo más férreo, un resquicio ético que el individuo puede manejar desde sus propias convicciones y que te permite decir que no ante lo inadmisible y no convertirte en parte de algo reprobable, como el crimen, la delación, la traición. There is always, even in tighter totalitarianism, an ethical gap that the individual can manage from their own convictions and that lets you say no to the inadmissible and not become part of something objectionable, such as crime, betrayal, treachery .
P. ¿Cuál fue la principal estafa del socialismo? Q. What was the main scam of socialism?
R. El estalinismo, sin duda;. R. Stalinism, without doubt. Las proporciones de la perversión política, económica, filosófica, ética y hasta estética que implicó la apropiación por parte de Stalin de una idea y de una revolución que pretendían crear una sociedad con la mayor equidad social y con las máximas posibilidades de realización humana, fue la mayor traición. The proportions of perversion political, economic, philosophical, ethical and even aesthetic involved the appropriation by Stalin of an idea and a revolution that sought to create a society with greater social equity and with the highest potential for human fulfillment, was the ultimate betrayal. El estalinismo se exportó y se convirtió en legado y, con otros métodos y rostros, frustró la realización del gran sueño utópico de los hombres: la sociedad de los iguales. Stalinism was exported and became a legacy and, with other methods and faces, thwarted the realization of the utopian dream of men: the society of equals.
P. ¿Qué ha dejado en Cuba la copia del modelo socialista soviético? Q. What has made Cuba a copy of the Soviet socialist model?
R. Creo que Cuba, desde que se anunció el carácter socialista de la revolución, trató de crear su propio modelo. A. I think that Cuba, since the announcement of the socialist character of the revolution, tried to build its own model. Y en buena medida lo logró: solo así se entiende que haya desaparecido el socialismo soviético y europeo y que Cuba, sola y con un embargo y la hostilidad norteamericana, haya mantenido su estructura política y social... And largely it did: only then is gone means that European and Soviet socialism and Cuba, alone and with an embargo and U.S. hostility, had maintained its political and social structure ... Pero, claro, quedaron cosas importantes, como la economía centralizada, la mayoritaria propiedad estatal de los medios de producción (incluida la tierra) y otras que hoy se discuten y que, quizás, pronto sean cambiadas. But of course, were important things, like the centralized economy, the majority state ownership of the means of production (including land) and others are being discussed today and that, perhaps, soon be changed. En Cuba, solo con transformaciones esenciales del viejo modelo puede empezar a pensarse en un socialismo posible, en una sociedad más equitativa y que económicamente sea un proyecto viable. In Cuba, only with substantial alterations to the old model can begin to think of a possible socialism, in a more equitable society that is economically viable project.
P. En esta novela y en otras suyas muchos personajes son gente decepcionada y arrepentida. Q. In this novel, and his many other characters are people disappointed and sorry. Gente que se quiere ir del país, que está cansada de anteponer los sueños individuales a los colectivos, harta de que el Estado se meta en todo... People who want to leave the country, who are tired of putting the individual to the collective dreams, tired of the state gets into everything ...
R. Desde los años finales del siglo pasado en la narrativa cubana se ha trabajado lo que se ha dado en llamar la literatura del desencanto, que no es solo un reflejo de la crisis que vive el país desde entonces, sino y sobre todo, del cansancio de los individuos. R. Since the late nineteenth century in Cuban narrative work has been what has been termed the literature of disenchantment, which is not only a reflection of the crisis facing the country since then, but mostly, the fatigue individuals. El exilio al que se han ido tantos cubanos es una de las manifestaciones de ese desencanto. The exile to which many Cubans have become one of the manifestations of that disappointment. Pero también lo es la opción por la crítica y el debate de muchos de los que nos hemos quedado a vivir en la isla. But so is the option for review and discussion of many that we are left to live on the island.
P. ¿El socialismo cubano puede reinventarse o ya está agotado? Q. Cuban socialism can reinvent or already exhausted?
R. Yo no soy un político y no sé si el modelo está agotado, porque de hecho se ha sostenido veinte años después de la caída del muro de Berlín. A. I'm not a politician and I do not know if the model is exhausted, because in fact it has been held twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Pero como ciudadano que he vivido muchas de las carencias, vicisitudes y dogmatismos que nos han asediado por años. But as a citizen I have lived many of the weaknesses, vicissitudes and dogmatism that have bedeviled us for years. Como escritor y hombre de pensamiento, creo que se necesita refundar una utopía y no solo para Cuba, sino para todo el mundo. As a writer and thinker, I think it needs re-found utopia and not only for Cuba but for everyone.
P. Al llegar al poder Raúl mucha gente albergó expectativas de cambio. P. Raul coming to power many people harbored expectations of change. Han pasado casi tres años... It has been almost three years ...
R. En Cuba se libra una lucha contra el tiempo, y cada vez hay menos tiempo. A. In Cuba is a struggle against time, and there are less time. Hay lastres muy pesados y peligrosos para la estabilidad y el futuro del país: la ineficiencia y la asfixia de una economía que no acaba de encontrar cauces productivos; el crecimiento de la marginalidad y la corrupción (y corruptos son, sobre todo, quienes tienen algún poder); el burocratismo agobiante y parasitario; la acumulación de necesidades muy diversas (vivienda, alimentación, la relación desquiciada entre salario y costo real de la vida, etc.); la desorganización... There is very heavy weights and dangerous for the stability and future of the country: the inefficiencies and suffocation of an economy that just will not find ways of production, the marginality and growth of corruption (and corruption are, especially those with some power), the stifling bureaucracy and parasitic, the accumulation of different needs (housing, food, insane relationship between wages and real cost of living, etc.). ... disorganization Hace falta ver si todavía hay capacidad para cambiar todo lo que debe ser cambiado, introducir esos cambios estructurales y conceptuales que se mencionan pero no se definen. We need to see if there is still capable of changing everything that must be changed, introducing such structural and conceptual changes that are mentioned but not defined.
P. Todo sigue estando en manos de los históricos ... Q. Everything is still in the hands of the historical ...
R. Los cubanos llevamos casi veinte años viviendo en medio de una crisis económica propia, y antes vivimos todas las carencias y sacrificios de los años sesenta y setenta -incluida en ese tiempo la más férrea ortodoxia política que marginaba a religiosos, homosexuales, y condenaba cualquier desacuerdo y que, por respuestas como las que le doy ahora, me hubieran caído encima años de marginación intelectual-. R. The Cubans we almost twenty years living in the midst of an economic crisis of its own, and before we live all the failings and sacrifices of the sixties and seventies at that time included the meanest political orthodoxy that marginalized religious, gays, and condemned any dispute and, for answers as I give now, I have fallen off years of intellectual marginalization. Por esa persistencia de las crisis hay tantos que emigran o se agotan: pero precisamente por haber soportado tantos sacrificios y necesidades, creo que la gente en Cuba se merece un futuro mejor y el derecho a la crítica. For this persistence of the crises are so many migrating or exhausted: but precisely because he endured so many sacrifices and needs, I think people in Cuba deserves a better future and the right to criticize. Entonces, ya sean los 'históricos' o los emergentes, el deber de los que gobiernan es responder a esa necesidad e introducir los cambios que preserven lo aprovechable y que procuren soluciones a lo no resuelto. Then, whether the 'historical' or emerging, the duty of the governors is to meet this need and make the changes that preserve the profitable and to seek solutions to unresolved.
P. ¿Qué le pareció el concierto de Juanes en la Plaza de la Revolución? Q. How did you like the Juanes concert in the Plaza of the Revolution?
R. Me pareció muy bien. A. I was fine. Un concierto sin consignas políticas, en el que el mensaje principal es la paz y la comprensión, eso en Cuba me parece una cosa extraordinaria y necesaria. A concert without political slogans, which the main message is peace and understanding, that in Cuba it seems an extraordinary thing and necessary. El concierto tuvo un mensaje renovador, fue un revulsivo de cosas que están anquilosadas... The concert had a message of renewal, was a shock to things that are stagnating ... Todo lo que sea apertura, en cualquier sentido, es importante. All that is opening in either direction is important.
P. ¿Cuál es el mayor reto de Cuba hoy día? Q. What is Cuba's biggest challenge today?
R. Preservar el sueño de una sociedad mejor es, sin duda, una de las responsabilidades históricas. R. Preserving the dream of a better society is undoubtedly one of the historical responsibilities. El mayor desafío sería sostener en la realidad un proyecto que incluya a todos los cubanos, que evite un desplome social catastrófico y que garantice una vida digna a todos: la República Martiana que se construiría "con todos y para el bien de todos". The biggest challenge would be sustained in reality a project that includes all the Cubans, to avoid a catastrophic social collapse and to ensure a decent life for all: Martiana Republic to be built "with all and for the good of all."

The last editorial in the Spanish newspaper "El Pais" on the crisis in Honduras trying to cover the sun with a finger.


None of the representatives of diplomatic missions of Honduras appointed by government "de facto" gorilla Micheleti oligarchs and their repressive and human rights violators have credit to the Vienna Convention, it is clear, under the constitution of Honduras and international law public that President Zelaya legal representative, democratically elected by the people, and who is now a refugee in Brazil's embassy in Tegucigalpa.
Those who attempt to legitimate a government by the de facto representative of the wealthy minority that exploits and demeans people of Honduras using an army of illiterates repressive military and as a step back to the people in Cuba before 1959 have created conditions for social revolution and intense class struggle in that country would make it more radical and tempestuous social leadership positions in Latin America and its relationship with the U.S. and the EU ... The international community must work for the reposition of the democratic President Zelaya, the only option for a pacifical political process to avoid class strugle in Honduras, every country of United Nation to not certify, not legalizing and not providing any funds to that minority who fight for their perks and privileges to subject the majority of the Honduran population to the state of emigrates,servitude and slavery. The international community should know that a disproportionate number of the population of Honduras has been forced by this situation of being subjected to the tyranny of wealthy landowners to take refuge in the United States from which country to send remittances to their families so they do not die of hunger and this is apparent if we go to the United Nations demographic tables. If the international community allows representatives of gorillas coup operator of the extreme right, as Mr Micheleti perpetuate the status quo that the Hondurans sent to jail, death or forced emigration and otherwise , making them serfs in their own country, we will be more than leaders of nations as "dead souls", these characters on the novel by famous Russian writer Gogol that only existed to support the lowest interests that make profit based on human suffering.


Those who take positions in Honduras today of class dictatorship as they think themselves in power position should not forget that the City of Havana was taken in January 1959 by an army of illiterate peasants, hungry and armed with hunting shotguns and weapons made by craftsmen mostly who was installed in power until the sun of our days.
The problem of President Zelaya of Honduras is not from the influence of Chavez or Lula as it said some of the international media to justify the kidnapping and coup d'etat of a democratically elected president, the problem is that the psychology of the Latin American bourgeoisie and its associated opportunistic still think like in the fifties of last century thought in Cuba was before 1959, and has not yet woken up to a new world in Latin America.
El problema del Presidente Zelaya de Honduras no es a partir de la influencia de Chavez o de Lula como ha dicho cierta prensa para justificar el secuestro y golpe de estado de un Presidente democraticamente electo, el problema es que la sicologia de la burguesia latinoamericana y sus asociados oportunistas todavia piensan como en los anos cincuenta del siglo pasado se pensaba en Cuba, antes de 1959, y aun no se ha despertado ante un mundo nuevo en America Latina.
The marches in the streets of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, are constitutional voters that elected a Democratic president in no case can they be described as "sympathetic" as does the Spanish newspaper "El Pais" and other media of rich countries.
The semantic game in these media is a way to censor the truth and confuse the reader.
Los que protestan en las calles de Tegucigalpa, Honduras, son electores constitucionales de un Presidente democraticamente electo, en ningun caso se les puede calificar de "simpatizantes" como hace el diario espanol "El Pais" y otros medios de prensa de paises ricos.El juego semantico en estos medios de prensa es una forma de censurar la verdad al lector y confundirlo.
"El Pais" Madrid Spain, Lula criticized for giving asylum to Zelaya in Brazil's embassy in Tegucigalpa accusing him of hegemony in Latin America and the way mass defines Honduras as "sympathizers" of Zelaya, a tactic to discredit by semantics games the irreversible social processes in Honduran society and is now evident to the world.
"El Pais", diario de Madrid Espana, critica a Lula por darle asilo a Zelaya en la embajada de Brazil en Tegucigalpa, acusandsolo de hegemonismo en America Latina, una tactica para desacreditar mediante el juego con la semantica los irreversibles procesos sociales de Honduras que ahora son evidentes para el mundo entero.
Behind the publisher of "El Pais" seem to lie the interests of companies plunder Latin America workers by paying poverty wages, no benefits, no health insurance as usually happens in Honduras where a worker does not earns almost to buy food for a month of the family barquet and can not supports.much less to buy a pair of shoes and their only option to improve life is to emigrate to America or Spain, where in fact there is, rigth now under the tolerance of United States, a disproportionate share of the population of that country as that never happen in Lulas's Brazil..
Detras del editorial de "El Pais" parecen esconderse los intereses de las empresas espanolas y sus asociados de la comunidad europea que saquean a America Latina pagandole a los trabajadores sueldos de miseria, sin beneficios, ni seguros de salud como usualmente pasa en Honduras donde un trabajador no gana para comprar la comida del mes de la familia que sustenta, mucho menos un par de zapatos, y su unica opcion de mejorar de vida es emigrar a Estados Unidos o Espana, donde de hecho se encuentra una parte desmesurada de la poblacion bajo la tolerancia de Estados Unidos a este "status quo" de ese pais lo cual no ocurre en el Brazil de Lula..
Zelaya is the constitutional President of Honduras, freely chosen by the people of Honduras and El Pais "has no authority, nor merit" to qualify the Honduran as "fans of Zelaya" or "political party supporters" as "protesting" against a really vulgar coup d'etat attempting- unacceptable from any ethical and moral point of view- unable to judge a President ad posteiori his abduction, Extradition and, that's like trying to justify the infamy of a group opportunities and privileges for the sake of more profits and more privileges,
Zelaya es el Presidente constitucional de Honduras, libremente elegido por el pueblo hondurenos y "El Pais" no tiene autoridad, ni merito, para calificar de simples "simpatizantes" a los hondurenos que protestan, como si eso se tratar de un partido de futbol,contra vulgares golpistas que intentan sin capacidad, ni constitucional, ni juridica para ello, de juzgar a un Presidente a posteiori de su secuestro, extradiccion y golpe de estado mediante cohecho, no ha lugar, eso es como querer justificar la infamia de un grupo oportunista y privilegiado en aras de mas ganancias y mas privilegios,
"El Pais" he is doing a disservice to the bourgeoisie and landowners Honduras operators whose interests and privileges intended to save because whom wrote the editorial is an illiterate in Latin American history because he have forgotten that a coup d'etat in Cuba sponsored by a stupid and irresponsible bourgeoisie with its own people that maintained, before 1959 in Cuba, much of the population as domestic servants, underpaid, no benefits or health insurance and illiterate neither a legal protection "de facto" about citizen rigths as seen now in the conduct of the Honduran army and police to its own people and as time goes happen for the cuban cuban richest on beaches, hotels and casinos to which only they have had real access based on power of money and position, if not, with little trip to Florida and Europe, from that behavior as we are seeing now in Honduras, born La Revolucion Socialista de Cuba and an intense process of class struggle that ultimately divided the cuban nation and took the
brunt of the bourgeoisie precisely that today has to take refuge in foreign countries lossing all his properties and priviledges in the island fifty years ago for ever.
"El Pais" le esta haciendo un flaco favor a los burgueses y terratenientes explotadores de Honduras cuyos intereses y prebendas pretende salvar debido a que quien escribio el editorial es un analfabeto en historia de America Latina ya que han olvidado que se embarcaron ya que a raiz de un golpe de estado en Cuba- de la misma naturaleza del hondureno, casi calcado,- auspiciado por una burguesia cubana inculta, estupida e irresponsable con su propio pueblo que mantenia a gran parte de la poblacion como empleados domesticos, mal pagados, sin beneficios ni seguro de salud y analfabetos mientras pasaba el tiempo en playas, hoteles, cabarets y casinos a los cuales solo ellos tenian real acceso, cuando no, con viajecitos de fin de semana a La Florida y Europa nacio La Revolucion Socialista de Cuba y un intenso proceso de lucha de clases que finalmente dividio a la nacion cubana, y la peor parte la llevo precisamente esa burguesia, cuyos intereses pretende defender "El Pais", y que hoy, con mucho menos nivel de escolaridad, salud y cultura que los que habitan la isla, tiene que refugiarse en paises extranjeros con perdida de sus propiedad y privilegios para siempre...
El Sol no se puede tapar con un dedo.
If we agree in the conclusion of the Spanish newspaper on the need for a national dialogue to avoid the maximum class struggle in Honduras, but we must clarify the terms of this dialogue "sine qua non". The first is to replace the president in his office and declare a general anmesty including all Hondurans. The second is that Honduran union representatives participate in the dialogue and debate in the National Assembly on the vital social programs that require Honduran society at large under the supervision of the Organization of American States and United Nations international observers on the ground. The rest is easy, become intelligent before losing everything and being swept into the dustbin of history as the "petit blancs" of Haiti on the novel by Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier "The Age of Enlightenment.
Si estamos de acuerdo en la conclusion del periodico espanol sobre la necesidad de un dialogo nacional para evitar al maximo la lucha de clases en Honduras, pero debemos aclarar los terminos de este dialogo "sine qua non".
Lo primero es reponer al Presidente en su cargo y decretar una anmistia general que incluya a todos los hondurenos.Lo segundo es que representantes de los sindicatos hondurenos participen del dialogo y debate en la Asamblea Nacional sobre los imprescindibles programas sociales que requiere la sociedad hondurena en general bajo la supervision de la Organizacion de Estados Americanos y las Naciones Unidas con observadores internacionales en el terreno.Lo demas es facil, volverse inteligentes antes que perderlo todo y ser arrastrados al basurero de la historia como los "petites blancs" de Haiti en la novela del cubano Alejo Carpentier "El Siglo de Las Luces.

The class struggle as a strategy of power politics in Latin America is not the guarantee of social justice, nor guarantees the independence and sovereignty of a nation, but only the union of all for the good of all is the true tree where settles our culture and identity, as proclaimed Jose Marti.Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34233.

What is the reason why we urgently need a triangle Sarasota-Cuba-Miami-Mexico scientific research on marine resources?


The aggression of businesses and corporations in commercial and productive activity must have an income tax to cover investigations of the sea and the climate and climate change lost by paying double or triple the poor economies of the Caribbean islands .
Central banks should take steps to avoid debt progressive high interest rates and abusive opportunistically to these small Caribbean nations that are attacked by the action of industry and commerce on the climate and the ocean in his eagerness to profit without paying a cent for environmental damage and contribute to their recovery.
? Who pays, for example, the plastic packaging waste in the ocean? So far, the corporations that trade with plastic do not pay a penny for this international problem.

The best example is here in Sarasota, Florida, where I live, the local government has been forced by lack of funds to reduce personnel guarding and preserving the beaches, but no company has a tax to help pay for the care of beaches, companies will increase their profits further contributing to climate change costs by obviating the use of green technology to expand business faster and when they recover or preserve ecosystem damaged areas in Sarasota will gain much more without taxes, of course in a poor little island in the Caribbean the goverment spend a lot worse, all they have to import it and pay it in gold.




O como decimos en buen cubano: "El muerto alante y la griteria detras..."

Or as we say in Cuban popular proverb: "the dead before and yelling and crying behind ..."

Although there are (not completly full filled) international and interdisciplinary studies that propose lifestyles and socioeconomic models suited to the preservation of balance in the system of biological corridors of the triangle-Florida-Cuba Mexico and this lack of knowledge is affecting the climate and the economy throughout the planet. The problem of the Kyoto Protocol was badly managed by the U.S. against their own interests because of poor science education and in some cases nonexistent, in the politicians and American reporters academic level..

The media are managed in many cases by illiterate communicator and journalists in science, technology and engineering under pressure from investors and advertisers, this leads to censorship of the danger threatening the natural paradise that artificially keep the rich countries with millions of dollars and resources in their own countries while the rest of nature around them suffers irreversible changes that eventually sink into a swamp of low quality of life in these societies at one step to dissapeared as happens with Katryna and could happens with pandemic diseases ...
The U.S. Geological Survey led a new assessment of the implications of a warming world on "ecological thresholds" in North America. The report, which was commissioned by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program and authored by a team of federal and academic climate scientists, ...

...An ecological threshold is the point at which there is an abrupt change in an ecosystem that produces large, persistent and potentially irreversible changes.
...acidification across much of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, reports strong natural variations in ocean chemistry in some parts of the Caribbean that could affect the way reefs respond to future ocean acidification.

This is not no secret, for many years is the highest concern of scientists Americans, Cubans, Mexicans, English and Norwegian at the increasing acidification of the Caribbean Sea and the irrational policy of preventing the communication and exchange of data based on international geopolitical reasons is taking us all on the planet at a steep economic climate and we do not know when it may occur as a step to Katryn in New Orleans.
Esto no es un secreto para nadie, desde hace muchos anos es la mas alta preocupacion de cientificos norteamericanos, cubanos, mejicanos, ingleses y noruegos ante la creciente acidificacion del Mar Caribe y la irracional politica de impedir la comunicacion y el intercambio de datos a nivel internacional por razones de geopolitica. que nos esta llevando a todos en el planeta a un despenadero climatico y economico que no conocemos cuando podra ocurrir como paso con el Katryna en Nueva Orleans.
In the triangle-Florida-Cuba Mexico, The Gulf Stream there are a process like a modulator mechanical effect of the climate from which is known directly affects the Norwegians rigth now. And rainfall in the city of London, always in danger of overflooding.(Ref: 1)

We believe the outlook for science and science education as bleak in USA, and, in my opinion, the Achilles Heel of the present society in this country where we live. We can not forget that in 1933 Germany began to lose his logic as a state when they attack their own people (Albert Einstein, for example) and scientists using ideology as the instrument to manipulate humans as items to be used as they wish to trade with the main objective to care safe Hitler ( whom suffered some kind of mental diseaseas assessed by psychiatrists of Russia) amd the elite in the power , theirs families of the inner circle and the families of his friends and relative in brotherhood with the burocrazy of the industry(At that time with the support of IBM, american insurer companies and big brother of oil american companies until 1941-42 plus in secret The Sweden goverment bankers to launch Germany against Russia) in order to prevailed over the rest of the population to accomplish this Nazi ideology that make by a "tour de force" inside the ethics constitution the legalizetion of the medieval practice of Chatolic Inquisition based on torturing the prisoners, secret prisons, disappearances, keep women entirely separate from the direction of the state infraestructure and structure and manipulate the masses of the people by diverting the hate against ilegal inmigrants, foreigners as spyes, Jews and homosexuales in Germany which to that date had millions of unique patents in the world( all stolen during the ocuppation by the Allied) and a Nobel prize World leadership but under this discipline in a few years lost its major scientific and was invaded to finally ended divided into four parts. We can not wonder now that American society is at a dead end, at least not till ten years to this date when the heavy industry can be able to change by 2020... when, maybe, this crisis is supposed to stay only for poor countries with a recovery to twenty years or maybe more, perhaps,for some of them, never, as it happens always with the poor Haiti or so many countries inAfrica.(Florida because it is a poor state of wealthy retirees, tourism and restaurants, took more than twenty years to recover from the crisis of the 30(little one compared to this one) that started with the problem of home sales in Sarasota, Florida,like today happen the same, where I live and write these lines, that crisis was much less problematic and large than this one we are living rigth now, today, and which Obama has no guilt or quickly solution because his not a magician, neither can be the NASA, in the circus of the economy an climatic disaster of the planet...)
(will continue...)

We need an International Team Work by area of Climatic Change linked to socioeconomic tables to know where we are and how we can go in a road that garantee the life based on the main sources: atmosphera, water, food and energy.
Necesitamos trabajar en equipos interdisciplinarios internacionales de area vinculados a los especialistas socioeconomicos que elaboran las tablas demograficas para saber en que lugar estamos y de que manera podemos andar por un camino que garantice la vida basada en las fuentes principales: atmosfera, agua, comida y energia.

Consideramos el panorama de las ciencias y la educacion de ciencias como desolador en Estados Unidos de America, y, a mi concepto, el Talon de Aquiles de la actual sociedad en este pais donde vivimos. No podemos olvidar que Alemania en 1933 comienza a perder la logica como Estado cuando arremete contra sus propios cientificos usando el instrumento ideologico con el objetivo de que una elite lidereada por Hitler, su familias y las familias de sus amigos prevaleciera sobre el resto de la poblacion, para lograr esto la ideologia nazi tenia como base etica legalizar constitucionalmente la tortura de los prisioneros,carceles secretas, desapariciones, mantener a la mujer totalmente separada de la direccion del estado y manipular las masas de la poblacion desviando el odio racial hacia extranjeros, judios y homosexuales.Alemania que a la fecha contaba con millones de patentes unicas en el mundo y un liderazgo en premios Nobel en pocos anos perdio sus principales cientificos y finalmente termino invadida y divida en cuatro partes. No podemos asombrarnos hoy de que la sociedad norteamericana se encuentre en un callejon sin salida, no al menos hasta que pasen diez anos y la industria pesada cambie su naturaleza, alla por el 2020, cuando quiza esta crisis, se supone, que quedara en la historia como la del 30 solo para paises pobres con una recuperacion a veinte anos o quizas nunca.
.(Florida debido a que es un estado pobre de ricos retirados,turismo y restaurantes, tardo mas de veinte anos en recuperarse de la crisis del 30 que comenzo por el problema de la venta de casas en Sarasota, Florida, donde vivo y escribo estas lineas, aquella crisis fue mucho menor que la que vivimos hoy y de la cual Obama no tiene ninguna culpa.)Will continue....(1)Waste radiaoactivos and military ammunition in the seabed of the Caribbean by naval and submarine activities without any university can monitor its impact on the ecosystem by the same political reasons that disengaged from each other.
(1)The financial turmoil is creating uncertainty in corporations aligned within the military-industrial complex and self-destructive behavior of nature and the habitat that should be monitored by international interdisciplinary teams of scientific researchers to alert us in time what might happen.
El caos financiero genera incertidumbre en las corporaciones alineadas dentro del complejo militar-industrial y conductas auto-destructivas de la naturaleza y el habitat que deben ser monitoreadas por equipos internationales e interdisciplinarios de investigadores cientificos para alertarnos a tiempo lo que pudiera acontecer.

The need for interdisciplinary team is given in the triangle area Sarasota-Cuba-Miami-Mexico due not only to the impact of climate change on the economy, but the depth of the crisis under the threat of explosive six hundred trillion dollars in paper money which are not known, nor was it really worth as in the present circumstances. There are two possible outcomes: if picked up this money can produce another prolonged recession or economic crisis, a second wave of financial panic, if the money flows will be a great global inflation and under any of these circumstances corporations begin to transfer missed hitting each other not only consumers but the economy further accelerating climate change, is required for control and monitoring scientific, technical and administrative officer of this acute problem.
La necesidad de este equipo interdisciplinario esta dada en el area triangulo Cuba-Sarasota-Miami-Mexico debido, no solo a la incidencia del cambio climatico en la economia, sino a la profundida de la actual crisis bajo la explosiva amenaza de seiscientos trillones de dolares en papel moneda que no se saben donde estan, ni se sabe realmente cuanto valen en las presentes circunstancias.Hay dos posibles resultados: si se recoge este dinero se puede producir otra prolongada recesion o crisis economica, una segunda oleada de panico financiero, si este dinero fluye se producira una gran inflacion a nivel mundial y bajo cualesquiera de estas circunstancias las corporaciones comienzan a transferirse perdidas unos a otras golpeando no solamente a la economia del consumidor sino, peor y con mas impacto, acelerando aun mas el cambio climatico, se requiere pues un control y monitoreo cientifico, tecnico y administrativo interdisciplinario de este agudo problema.
Like Juanes's concert in Havana recently module a current artistic and spiritual over millions of teenagers around the world for peace and love among human beings, in the triangle of study is designed a modulator of climate of the planet and certainly known who has a clear influence on the climate of Norway: The Gulf Stream.
As we know the climate should decide the economy of the habitat in the human being and their ability to survive hunger and extreme conditions that today are strongly related to astrophysics, the study of magnetic field of the particles in the atmosphere, NASA, the Russian space agency and others that that we need as another parallel to the Juanes concert, a concert that will allow us to know how to survive in an uncertain and unknown future and unfortunately it has no impact in the news inside the common man because of poor education in sciences of our communicator and journalists almost iliterate in this field most of them. Unfortunately, most, or the Latin American television, nor the U.S. Hispanic disclose their interest in science linked to survival of a Nation, but are almost only, now, interested in a scandal or a yellow press release that the hearing and working with our unconscious on the subject area level because Latin American television stations tend to copy the mostly stupid Hispanic U.S.TV real black boxes plenty of cursilerias needs and useless.
La necesidad de este equipo interdisciplinario esta dada en el area triangulo Cuba-Sarasota-Miami-Mexico debido, no solo a la incidencia del cambio climatico en la economia, sino a la profundida de la actual crisis bajo la explosiva amenaza de seiscientos trillones de dolares en papel moneda que no se saben donde estan, ni se sabe realmente cuanto valen en las presentes circunstancias.Hay dos posibles resultados: si se recoge este dinero se puede producir otra prolongada recesion o crisis economica, una segunda oleada de panico financiero, si este dinero fluye se producira una gran inflacion a nivel mundial y bajo cualquiera de estas circunstancias las corporaciones comienzan a transferirse perdidas unos a otras golpeando no solamente la economia del consumidor sino acelerando aun mas el cambio climatico, se requiere pues un control y monitoreo cientifico, tecnico y administrativo de este agudo problema.Al igual que el concierto de Juanes modulo recientemente en La Habana una corriente artistica y espiritual sobre millones de jovenes en el mundo entero en pro de la paz y el amor entre los seres humanos, en el triangulo de estudio se disena un modulador del clima en la tierra del cual se conoce con exactitud que tiene una clara influencia en el clima de Noruega: La Corriente del Golfo y como sabemos el clima decide la economia del habitat en el hombre y su capacidad de sobrevivir al hambre y las condiciones extremas que hoy estan fuertemente vinculadas a la astrofisica, el estudio del campo magnetico de las particulas en la atmosfera, la Nasa, la agencia espacial rusa y otras.e necesita pues otro concierto paralelo al de Juanes, un concierto que nos permita saber como sobrevivir ante un futuro incierto y desconocido y que por desgracia no tiene el impacto noticioso en el hombre comun debido a la pobre educacion en materia de ciencias de nuestros informadores y periodistas.Para la mayor desgracia, ni a la television latinoamericana, ni a la hispana en Estados Unidos les interesa divulgar ciencias de la cual depedende la supervivencia, mas les interesa un escandalo o una noticia morbosa que levante la audiencia y esto colabora con nuestra inconciencia sobre el tema a nivel de area America ya que las televisoras latinoamericanas tienden a copiar las hispanas de Estados Unidos, verdaderas cajas negras de necesidades y cursilerias inutiles.
The governments of Latin America and the Caribbean instead of dealing with the media to be critical in party politics, ought seriously to address the content of television programming and radio and its usefulness to production, education and information science, the engineering analysis of social problems and instead of dismissal and jail journalists should pay university studies in science to harness the talent, no people surviving mass ideology and politics of any type of party, are not sources of food or energy but real fireworks amid climate change and threatened, and almost touching the door knocks, another economic crisis of longer duration and magnitude. by Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34233.

Los gobiernos de America Latina y del Caribe en vez de ocuparse de los medios informativos por ser criticos en politica de partido, deberian seriamente de ocuparse del contenido de la programacion de la television y la radio y su utilidad a la produccion, a la educacion e informacion de ciencias, al analisis ingeniero de los problemas sociales y en vez de despedir y encarcelar periodistas deberian pagarle estudios universitarios en ciencias para aprovechar el talento, ningun pueblo sobrevive de ideologia y politica de masas de ningun tipo de partido,no son fuentes de comida, ni de energia sino verdaderos fuegos artificiales en medio de un cambio climatica y bajo la amenaza, ya casi, tocandonos la puerta a aldabonazos,de otra crisis economica de mayor duracion y envergadura by Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34233.

Barbados Goverment poised to compete with private sector.BGISMEDIA.BARBADOS GOVERMENT AGENCY.


PM: State-Owned Agency A ContingencyBy Gillian ApplewhaitePublished: September 17, 2009
If local consumers are of the view that prices are decreasing, government is willing to "leave it to the private sector" and shelve plans to set up a state-owned agency that offers goods at more competitive prices.
Prime Minister David Thompson made this statement recently, during an interview with members of the media at Ilaro Court.

Mr. Thompson stressed that the state-owned agency was a contingency, in the event that cooperation was not received from the private sector, and noted that government was therefore willing to analyse the situation.
He said, however, there was evidence as government had suggested of areas in which there could be "considerable reductions" in prices. "Some of the middle men are the same people who are the end-sellers of products. And, some of the mark-ups in relation to those middle men can be eliminated, and we will not rest until that is achieved," Mr. Thompson warned.
Reiterating that he would like to see a competitive environment, the Prime Minister pointed out that meetings could be held with the private sector, but emphasised that "they would have to bring good evidence to us that they have been efforts, and serious efforts, to reduce the cost to consumers".
He pointed out that markups had nothing to do with taxes. "Whenever people talk to government, they want to talk about taxes - reduced taxes, we have some other things we want to talk about - the maintenance of jobs, [and] restraint in relation to profit levels over the period of the recession," he added.
Prime Minister Thompson said that they would reward those companies which worked with government to achieve national objectives. Stating that he was not antagonistic towards the private sector, he cautioned that he would be, "if the discussion only centred around taxes because that was not the substance of the debate".

United States: racism and foreign policy toward Caribbean and Latin America..



Maintaining the embargo on Cuba for over fifty years is totally unacceptable, however, we must regard as highly complex U.S. domestic politics at the moment for President Barack Obama and Cuban-American leaders in Washington and therefore requires intelligence and spiritual status of all because the geopolitical design decides the future of Latin America and the importance of the Cuban lobby in Congress and the Senate.
El mantenimiento del embargo a Cuba por mas de cincuenta anos es totalmente inaceptable, no obstante, debemos considerar como sumamente compleja la politica domestica norteamericana en estos momentos para el Presidente Barack Obama y para los lideres cubanoamericanos en Washington y por lo tanto se requiere inteligencia y altura espiritual de todos ya que el diseno geopolitico decide el futuro de America Latina y la importancia del lobby cubano en el Congreso y el Senado.

From the time criticizing Simon Bolivar on U.S. publications as a leader of blacks and Indians to the time when the U.S. Congress approved the purchase of Cuba to Spain for an ethnic cleansing of U.S. territory,
forcing the black population to live on the island, racism and all kinds discrinacion chaired the American foreign policy toward Caribbean and Latin America. So historically we have looked with contempt and arrogance.
Desde los tiempos en que criticaban a Simon Bolivar en las publicaciones norteamericanas por ser lider de negros e indios hasta la epoca en que el Congreso de Estados Unidos aprobo la compra de Cuba a Espana para una limpieza etnica del territorio norteamericano obligando a la poblacion negra a residir en la isla, el racismo y la discrinacion de todo tipo ha presidido la politica exterior norteamericana hacia el Caribe y America Latina. Asi nos han mirado historicamente en Washington, con desprecio y prepotencia.

This problem of racism is delaying immigration reform that is central to Hispanic immigrants used as cheap labor and docile to destroy the American labor movement, cut benefits and get more gains on the part of the leadership of the bourgeoisie individualistic, arrogant and irresponsible inside United States and now has brought the country to economic bankruptcy and an irreparable loss of image politics.In the historical evolution of the American nation this syndrome of imperial arrogance has now become a double-edged sword that sharpens the class struggle within American society and divides the country into warring communities where the black is diluted in the discriminacion of the Hispanic community that for local racists is still the same thing, then come homosexuals, the Hindu, Arabic and Chinese communities and women, an element of division contradictory, as happened to Germany during the Third Reich when faced against its own Jewish population based on discrimination of german woman during the period, homosexuals and inmigrants. Former President Carter said recently as this racism was enthroned in Washington politics to hamper the administration of President Obama for the simple fact of being a black in the presidential chair, this has significance in foreign policy and in two cases we see this sad America : Haiti's misery, forgotten for a Europe without consciousness of itself, and the case of the embargo on Cuba for over half a century ... and you know the rest of the continent can expect after that...

Este problema del racismo se ve en la demora de una reforma migratoria que es fundamental para los inmigrantes hispanos utilizados como mano de obra barata y docil para destruir el movimiento sindical norteamericano, rebajar beneficios y obtener mas plusvalia por parte del liderazgo de la burguesia individualista, prepotente e irresponsable de Estados Unidos que ahora ha llevado al pais a la bancarrota economica y a una irreparable perdida de imagen politica.
En la evolucion historica de la Nacion norteamericana este sindrome de prepotencia imperial se ha convertido hoy en una espada de doble filo que agudiza la lucha de clases en el seno de la sociedad norteamericana y divide al pais en comunidades enfrentados donde la discrinacion del negro se diluye en el hispano que para los racistas locales viene siendo la misma cosa,luego vienen los hindues, arabes y chinos, un elemento de division contradictorio, como le paso a Alemania durante el III Reich cuando se enfrento contra su propia poblacion judia. El expresidente Carter expreso recientemente como este racismo estaba entronizado en la politica de Washington entorpeciendo la gestion del Presidente Obama por el simple hecho de ser un negro en la silla presidencial, esto tiene trascendencia en la politica exterior y lo vemos en dos casos tristes de America Latina: la miseria de Haiti, olvidado por una Europa sin conciencia de si misma, y el caso del embargo a Cuba por mas de medio siglo... y ya sabe el resto del continente que puede esperar "after that..."

Instruments is not enough for us an ideology against imperialism and colonialism if we do not have the intelligence to analyze the problem of human behavior long before Marx wrote "Das Kapital" And long after Christ was crucified by the betrayal of one of its most faithful followers.

No basta que nosotros instrumentemos una ideologia contra el imperialismo y el colonialismo si no poseemos la inteligencia para analizar el problema de la conducta humana mucho antes de que Marx escribiera "El Capital" y mucho despues que Jesucristo fuera crucificado por la delacion de uno de sus mas fieles seguidores.

The Cuban-American lobby is the only heavily Hispanic leadership in the Senate, Congress and the Pentagon, which is crucial for relations between Cuba and the United States and future relations with the rest of the Caribbean and Latin America so we must work based on consensus with the goal that in any way to achieve the task of enhancing the nation and achieve a positive and necessary relationship with the North American power on the basis of consensus and bilateral technical aspects as much as possible guided by the philosophy of patriotic Vietnamese brothers whos Jose Marti began to Cubans as the supreme example of patriotism and intelligence on "The Golden Age."("La Edad de Oro", original title)

El lobby cubanoamericano es el unico liderazgo hispano con fuerza en el Senado, el Congreso y el Pentagono, factor fundamental para las relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos y futuro de las relaciones con el resto del Caribe y America Latina de manera que de cualquier manera para lograr el objetivo de engrandecer la Nacion y lograr una relacion positiva y necesaria con la potencia norteamericana se debe obrar sobre la base del objetivo del consenso en cuanto aspectos tecnicos y bilaterales tanto como sea posible guiandonos por la filosofia patriotica de los hermanos vietnamitas que Jose Marti puso a los cubanos como ejemplo supremo de patriotismo e inteligencia en la "Edad de Oro".


Global trade, the consesos of recently Russian-American treaty, from an old relation of dependence between the two power in the military, industrial and space industry. , China and the United States as engines of the world economy coupled with the juncture of climate change and economic crisis that lasted at least ten more years in poor countries, imposes political dynamics on new bases and prospects of joint, because, moreover communications technologies have been changing the mode of production each six months and therefore the conception of geopolitical area.

El comercio global, los consesos y tratados ruso-norteamericanos, a partir de una vieja relacion de dependencia entre los dos poderios en las esferas militar, industrial y de la industria del espacio, China y Estados Unidos como maquinarias de la economia mundial sumada a la coyuntura de cambio climatico y de una crisis economica que durara no menos de diez anos mas en los paises pobres, impone dinamicas politicas sobre bases nuevas y perspectivas de conjunto debido a que las tecnologias de comunicaciones estan siendo modificadas cada seis meses y cambian la naturaleza del modo de produccion, y por ello, la concepcion de area geopolitica.

Without ceasing to be political leaders in Latin America, in the Caribbean and latinoamerican- American communities in North America(Canada) affected by several problem, shoes down to earth and full of obligations, if we want more light to fix them, we have to go to the very spirit of our nations, our cultures that is the only thing that has sustained us throughout the history of relations with the U.S. ally to a disengaged Europe to Latin American problems, perhaps, with the only exception of Spain, who describe racists in east europe as part of Africa after the Pyrenees so that a Cuban ambassador said me on one occasion: Spain, for not passing beyond "because they are, the rest, a group of pedants"

Sin dejar de ser lideres politicos de America Latina, el caribe y de las de las comunidades norteamericanas afectadas por el racismo y la prepotencia idividualista, con los pies en la tierra y llenos de obligaciones, si queremos mas luz sobre este problema, tenemos que acudir al propio espiritu de nuestras naciones, de nuestras culturas que es lo unico que nos ha sostenido a lo largo de la historia de las relaciones con e Estados Unidos aliado a una Europa desentendida de los problemas latinoamericanos, quiza, con la unica excepcion de Espana, a quienes los racistas europeos califican como una parte de Africa despues de los Pirineos de tal manera que un embajador cubano me dijo en una ocasion, de Espana para alla no pases "porque son un grupo de pesaos"

The worst thing is that this scourge of racism based on discrimination of women and slavery in the brain is programmed within ourselves, white emigration in Miami and in Havana blacks who have no cubaamerican family,no care from them,neither love, no remittances and gifts from the "petites blancs" Cuban-American "white", without exception, the racism that almost completely disbanded the party founded by Jose Marti in Tampa, Florida after his death in combat in Cuba.
Only there is a difference, racism in Latin America and the Caribbean and its base, discrimination of women divides us as a nation, weakens the state and separates us completely from the leading of our own community in the Nation and the leadership scientific, intellectual and artistic of the American people with whom we share common cultural heritage vital factor, in the interaction, for the development of Latin America and Caribbean as it has been for China, so the lack of intelligence in dealing with North-South ideological lines only takes us away from a fight intelligent and judicious to maintain the sovereignty and independence that was achieved in Cuba with the union of all Cubans, black and whites with different ways ofr meanings, in their struggle against colonial Spain, mainly based on U.S. territory, hence the importance of not treating the affairs of state in black and white when it comes to geopolitical area or with chauvinism, nor ideological mirages, we need more spiritual height and soul of a Jesuit.


Y lo peor es que este flagelo del racismo con base en la discriminacion de la mujer y el esclavismo programado en el cerebro es que esta dentro de nosotros mismos, los blancos en la emigracion de Miami y en La Habana los negros que no tienen familia en el extranjero,ni cuidado, ni amor, ni remesas de dinero y regalos de sus hermanos "petites blancs" cubanoamericanos "blancos",salvo excepciones, el racismo que disolvio casi completamente el Partido que fundo Jose Marti en Tampa luego de su muerte en combate en Cuba.
Solo que hay una diferencia,el racismo en Latinoamerica y el caribe y su base, la discriminacion de la mujer ,nos divide como naciones, debilita el estado y nos separa completamente de la vanguardia cientifica, intelectual y artistica del pueblo norteamericano con el cual compartimos patrimonios culturales comunes, factor vital para el desarrollo de America Latina como lo ha sido para China, de manera que la falta de inteligencia al enfrentar las relaciones Norte-Sur solamente con lineas ideologicas nos aleja de una lucha inteligente y discreta por mantener la soberania y la independencia que se logro en Cuba, solamente, mediante la union de todos los cubanos en su lucha contra Espana, fundamentalmente con base en territorio de Estados Unidos, de ahi la importancia de no tratar los asuntos de estado en blanco y negro cuando se trata de geopoliticas de area, ni con chovinismos, ni con espejismos ideologicos occidentales,
nos hace falta mas altura espiritual y alma de jesuita. Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34233.

Swimming in the Sahara? Yes, it was..

The world's largest desert was once a green Eden. One day it will be again.by Alex Stone

The Sahara, which covers nearly a third of Africa, was once a lush savanna, teeming with wildlife, fish-filled lakes, and ancient humans. "Between 10,500 and around 5,550 years ago, it was a good place to live," says
Stefan Kröpelin, a geoarchaeologist at the University of Cologne in Germany, who has spent the last 30 years leading excavations in the eastern Sahara, a region that until recently has been largely unexplored.

The 2010 World Development Report argues that industrialized countries must pay climate mitigation costs for poorer nations

The World Bank's new 2010 Development Report says that one of the effects climate change has already had on the world's poorer countries is that it is diverting development funds away from their traditional uses, such as road-building, irrigation and infrastructure improvement. Some of those funds are now being used to help countries deal with the destructive effects of more extreme climate events. Co-author Rosina Bierbaum says a better use of this money would be to pursue the goal of what she calls a "climate-safe world," where global temperatures rise no more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Achieving that goal, says Bierbaum, will require innovation, diplomacy and technology. "This will require enormous transfers of funding, but it will actually be far cheaper if activities are undertaken in both the developing and developed world simultaneously."

Refugees Warehoused in the Sahara Desert for 30 Years
Posted by rhea 17 September 2009, 12:02 pm

Sahrawi refugees are among the longest warehoused refugee groups in the world. In a situation lasting over 30 years, more than 90,000 refugees wait in four remote refugee camps — El Aaiun, Awserd, Smara, and Dakhla — in the desolate Sahara desert in southwest Algeria.

The international community has all but forgotten these men, women and children, who fled their homes in the mid-seventies because of fighting between the Moroccan military and the Polisario Front, a rebel group who seeks independence for the Western Sahara. The refugees remain trapped to this day in refugee camps in a remote part of the Sahara often referred to as
“The Devil’s Garden.”

These refugees live in mud-brick huts and canvas tents; endure frequent sand storms and scorching temperatures of above 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. They subsist on mostly rice, lentils, and bread and many suffer from chronic malnutrition. Not allowed to leave the camps to seek work, they have no choice but to rely on rations supplied by the international community.

Not only have the parties failed to resolve their dispute in order get these innocent civilians out of the camps and grant them the opportunity to rebuild their lives, but they have not even protected their basic human rights as refugees. UNHCR has no staff in the camps dedicated to monitoring the human rights of those in the refugee camps near Tindouf, where reports show evidence of slavery, imprisonment of women for adultery, and restricted freedom of movement.

Lavinia Limón, USCRI President, explained: “The fact is, we have all failed these human beings. An entire generation has already grown up and known nothing other than a refugee camp and a second generation will soon face the same fate. We need to act today to get these refugees out of these camps and back to living productive lives.”

“Algeria should shut these camps down and the international community should offer transportation and resources to the refugees so they can relocate to more hospitable locations where they can be self-reliant while waiting for resolution of the plight.”

USCRI continues to lead a growing coalition of hundreds of nongovernmental organizations in the campaign to end the human “warehousing” of refugees — a practice that deprives millions of refugees worldwide of the rights to practice professions, run businesses, own property, move about freely, and choose their place of residence.

Konstantine Isidoros, Oxford: Morocco: Government Uses Torture to Silence Sahrawi Activists(Western Sahara in the map)


From very young I received at my home, when I was living in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, many young Saharawi medical students and hear from his own lips the oppressive regime and violator of human rights are subjected to by the regime of Morocco for the simple fact assert to have expression of their national identity, talking or singing, I saw the sadness in his faces of the oppressed people and at the same time, the twinkle in her eyes of heroic hearts fearlessly fighting for the sovereignty and independence.
Today, the situation is much worse for sarahuies due to the poor or no attention to this deplorable human rights situation and violations of the Geneva Convention on Torture is part of the rich countries even though young women are being raped and tortured by the Moroccan repressive forces.
The brothers of the Sahara under our Jesuchrist love, are also under the protection of God that in his dwelling is watching and judging our actions with the most humble and needy.
I believe that we as Roman Catholics we are obligated to take international action about this problem which are responsible the Moroccan government and its closest allies.Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34233.


Konstantina Isidoros

Konstantina Isidoros is a doctoral researcher in Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford. Her field of specialisation is on nomadic pastoralism across the Sahara Desert with a particular interest in the hassaniyya-speaking Sahrawi nomads of the western Sahara.

'The international community ought to react quickly to stop these atrocities.
The double standard in dealing with human rights must come to an end, and the human dimension referred to by the United Nation's Security Council Resolution 1871 must have substance'.[11] The United Nations Mission for a Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) has been increasingly under pressure from campaigners and a number of governments to properly assume their responsibilities to monitor these human rights violations in the Moroccan occupied territory. Last time the issue was raised in the UN Security Council, the suggestion was blocked by France.
Until now, Morocco has fairly successfully kept the beatings and killings of Sahrawi students in the Occupied Territories beneath the radar of the global media. But now the internet, mobile phones and video uploading have played a crucial part in getting evidence through Morocco's propaganda wall, thereby enabling campaigners and analysts to monitor and examine the situation. The vast network of NGOs, academics and analysts provides a literary 'Green Line' between Morocco's 'tools of persuasion' and - as Pazzanita so aptly put it - the 'antidote to propaganda' (1994: 274).[12]


There are an increasing number of Sahrawi student-led internet blogs which record these human rights abuses and upload video clips as evidence. One such site has Hayat Rguibi's videoed testimony of her rape by Moroccan police, and postings about the killings of two male Sahrawi students, Houssein Abdessadik Alktaif and Khaya Baba Abdelaziz, in December 2008 in Agadir, Morocco.[6]
Another site has video clips commentated on by Rabab Amidane, a young female human rights student activist who won the Norwegian 2009 Student Peace Prize.[7] Rabab's video clips record Moroccan police violence at student demonstations.[8] Also both UPES and Reuters report that another young Sahrawi human rights activist, Ennaama Asfari, was sentenced on Thursday 27 August 2009 to four month's imprisonment 'because of his political views in favour of self-determination of people of Western Sahara'.[9] This prompted the Sahrawi President Mohamed Abdelaziz, to write to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to call for the establishment of a mechanism to ensure the protection of human rights of the Sahrawi in the Moroccan occupied territories of Western Sahara.[10]

Cuba won't take steps to better relations with US

HAVANA — Cuba will not make any political or policy concessions to improve relations with the U.S. — no matter how small, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said Wednesday, snubbing Washington’s suggestions that some reforms could lead to better ties.He told a news conference that the United States must lift its 47-year-old trade embargo without waiting for anything in return.Rodriguez said U.S. trade sanctions have cost the island $96 billion in economic damage since they took form in February 1962 as part of the Trading with the Enemy Act.“The policy is unilateral and should be lifted unilaterally,” Rodriguez said.He called President Barack Obama “well-intentioned and intelligent” and said that his administration has adopted a “modern, less aggressive” stance toward the island.But Rodriguez shrugged off the White House’s April decision to lift restrictions on Cuban-Americans who want to visit or send money to relatives in this country, saying those changes simply undid a tightening of the embargo imposed by former President George W. Bush.“Obama was a president elected on a platform of change. Where are the changes in the blockade against Cuba?” Rodriguez asked. Cuban officials have for decades characterized American trade sanctions as a blockade.Obama has suggested it may be time for a new era in relations with Cuba, but has also said he will not consider lifting the embargo. On Monday, he signed a measure formally extending the policy for one year.U.S. officials have said for months that they would like to see the single-party, communist state accept some political, economic or social changes before they make further modifications to Cuba policy, but Rodriguez said it was not up to his country to appease Washington.The foreign minister also refused to comment on suggestions by New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson that Cuba take small steps to improve relations with the U.S.The governor, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, suggested during a recent visit there that Cuba reduce restrictions and fees for islanders who want to travel overseas and accept a U.S. proposal to let diplomats from both countries travel more freely in each other’s territory.Rodriguez took office after a March shake-up that ousted much of Cuba’s younger leadership, including Foreign Minister and former Fidel Castro prodigy Felipe Perez Roque.Officials from the U.S. and Cuba plan to meet Thursday in Havana to discuss reviving direct postal service between their countries, but Rodriguez refused to comment. Mail between the U.S. and the island has had to pass through third countries since August 1963.

The digital divide in the Caribbean countries is a source of backwardness and freezing of the economy. The flow of information now determined, through the cellular and Internet, the economic movement and the participation socialde the population. In the poor countries of the Caribbean the state must ensure, by treaty, that all social classes have open and free access to mobile telephony and the Internet, proportionately, and international rates as equivalent to achieve a balance in the volume of information with United States and Europe, the owners of the information superhighway servers and nets”.

It has been shown that cellular telephony and the Internet based on the privilege of political groups, racial and gender divides a country, creates conflicts, reduce the participation of the masses and causes great contradictions in the domestic economy because the group can communicate becomes dominant.

The Internet and cellular services should be sources of communication with free public access for every group of citizen to prevent dominant groups can monopolizes the media.

"European governments regulated the Internet as though it were a public utility. Amsterdam’s “Digital City” (Users were defined as participants in their city’s life, not as consumers. With an aim to involve more citizens in creating better public policy, the Digital City was designed to promote universal and open access.)went online in 1994 and was so popular that the city suffered a modem shortage during its inaugural week. The Digital City employed cutting-edge technology with both sound and moving images, at a time when the Web site for the White House in the United States was little more than a text archive for press releases.
“Imagined as a public sphere that would help produce a more functional state, the Digital City was presented as a new, communal space, a technology that would provide users with information about and access to their government,” Schulte wrote.


"The U.S. Department of Commerce warned about a digital divide that was leaving parts of the nation behind.

"These are really exploratory talks and they are very technical in nature ... We see it as a potential avenue for improving the communication between our two countries," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said in Washington.
"We hope the talks will lead to consistent use of direct mail transportation between the U.S. and Cuba," he said.

The real crisis facing Jamaica stems from the low levels of trust between the public and private sectors, arising from the Government being asked to perform a role that deep down everyone knows it can't fulfil. Surveys conducted by OTF Group in 2003 found that 84 per cent of respondents agreed that trust between the public and private sectors in Jamaica was amongst the worst in the world.

Israel Rejects Call for Gaza Inquiry
By ISABEL KERSHNER
JERUSALEM —
Israeli officials on Wednesday bluntly dismissed one of the main recommendations of the United Nations fact-finding mission’s report on the three-week war in Gaza last winter: a call for the Israeli government to begin an independent investigation of “serious violations” of international humanitarian and human rights law, including evidence of war crimes, during the military campaign.
Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that the internal military investigations into the Israeli army’s conduct in Gaza already under way were “a thousand times more serious” than the investigation just completed by the United Nations mission led by Richard Goldstone.
Mr. Goldstone, an internationally respected South African jurist, was once the lead war crimes prosecutor for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
Mr. Regev called the military justice system in Israel “highly professional” and said that Israeli civilian courts had judicial review over the military courts. “Let’s see what the military investigations produce,” he said.
Reflecting a broad consensus in Israel, the Israeli president, Shimon Peres, also harshly criticized the report, issuing a statement calling it “a mockery of history” for failing “to distinguish between the aggressor and a state exercising its right for self-defense.” Mr. Peres, an internationally respected Nobel Peace Prize laureate, added that the report “legitimizes terrorist activity, the pursuit of murder and death.”
The report, which was released on Tuesday, recommends that if no appropriate independent inquiry gets under way in Israel within six months, the United Nations Security Council should refer the situation to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. It made a similar recommendation for Palestinian authorities, calling for an inquiry into evidence of war crimes committed by Palestinian armed groups firing rockets into Israel. The Palestinians have not commented on that aspect of the report.
The publication of the report elicited a furious reaction in Israel, where it was immediately rejected as one-sided and biased.
Asked about the recommendation of an independent inquiry, Yigal Palmor, the spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, said, “What would be independent enough for the Goldstone committee after they trashed all the legal, political and other authorities here and said that none were reliable?”
He added, “Just as their report was written as if in a vacuum, without any context, so this recommendation is disconnected from reality.”
In particular, Israeli government officials were incensed about what they called the report’s delicate treatment of Hamas, the Islamic group that controls Gaza. Israel mounted its military offensive as a last resort, they said, to try to curb the rocket fire from Gaza against southern Israel.
In a statement late Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry said the report “effectively ignores Israel’s right of self-defense, makes unsubstantiated claims about its intent and challenges Israel’s democratic values and rule of law.”
“At the same time,” it said, “the report all but ignores the deliberate strategy of Hamas of operating within and behind the civilian population and turning densely populated areas into an arena of battle. By turning a blind eye to such tactics, it effectively rewards them.” The report addressed the Israeli allegations, but said it found limited evidence that Palestinian fighters had deliberately pursued a strategy of using civilians as human shields.
Most Israelis strongly supported the military offensive in Gaza, viewing it as the only way to stop the rocket fire. The growing international condemnation of Israel’s actions during the military campaign did little to crack national unity during the war, and the highly critical reports in the months since by international organizations and human rights groups have not caused serious divisions. The more usual response here has been indignation, and a sense that Israel’s very legitimacy has been under attack.
Amid the furor, some in Israel concurred with the panel’s call for further investigation. A group of nine Israeli human rights organizations said in a joint statement that they had recently written to Israel’s attorney general to demand that he establish an independent body to investigate the military’s activities in Gaza, but that he rejected their request.
Boaz Okon, a legal affairs commentator in the popular newspaper Yediot Aharonot, suggested that it might be advisable for Israel to form an independent commission of inquiry into the army’s actions during the Gaza war. “Moral reasons require an examination of these severe allegations,” he wrote in Wednesday’s newspaper.
“In addition, there are utilitarian reasons. Even if decision-makers in Israel believe that no war crimes were committed, the findings of an independent commission of inquiry could serve as defense in international law, and prevent the prosecution of soldiers and commanders abroad.”

Cuban Americans lost in the new generations roots with Cuba and influence in Washington.


The dialogue of the Cubans in the Nation is of strategic importance for Las Americas and will decided the next future of the hemispheric relations with the United States.
This is a much more capital than the U.S. embargo because of its greater political nature affecting even the U.S. internal politics.
El dialogo de los cubanos en la Nacion reviste un caracter estrategico para Las Americas y va a decidir el futuro cercano de las relaciones hemisfericas con Estados Unidos.
Este es un tema mucho mas capital que el embargo norteamericano debido a su mayor naturaleza politica que afectara incluso la politica interna norteamericana
by Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34233.

According to former President Carter on racism(*) in America has entered politics when Obama is criticized for its political lines. This is the same historical racism in America that destroyed the Tampa Revolutionary Party founded by Jose Marti, and today could permanently divide and weaken the Cuban nation and the Cuban lobby in the Congress.Without roots with Cuba, in the next future, after two generation more, we can be disappeared as a cuban community in United States as historically happens with another communities in this country.

(*)"Ironically, racial divisions within the Cuban community marred certain pretenses of ethnic solidarity. During the late nineteenth century the emigre community in Ybor City worked to liberate Cuba from Spanish control. Those involved in the nationalist movement were dedicated to a “Cuba Libre” (11). Yet for many of the Afro Cubans who joined white Cubans in providing critical economic, political, and military support, race remained a factor and at times a barrier in organizing efforts for the Cuban War for Independence. Prominent Afro-Cuban leaders, including Bruno Roig, Cornelio Brito, and Paulina and Ruperto Pedroso, endured racial animosities within and outside of revolutionary organizations.
When the Cuban patriot and national hero Jose Marti was invited by the Club Ignacio Agramonte in November 1891 to visit Ybor City, he was determined to directly confront the racism within the Cuban community. Marti recognized the importance of incorporating Afro Cubans into the nationalist movement. In his famous “Liceo” speech, Marti demanded that white Cubans alter their racist attitudes in the name of a “Cuba Libre” by reminding Cubans that this would be a “revolution [in which] all Cubans, regardless of color have participated” (12). To maximize his base of support, Marti’s words had to be inclusive and yet critical of those who employed racist tactics and practices. He achieved this tenuous balance by requesting that Cubans put aside the racial divisions that stood in the way of a unified nationalist movement. His tactic for diffusing racial divisions was to construct an ethnic identity, a Cubanidad, strong enough to overcome racial differences. Moreover, the need to do so underscored the fact that racism was not exclusively a problem of the United States

A house divided against itself, it will disappear ... and when that happens, without any cubanamerican community as strong lobby in Washington, the relationship between Cuba and the United States will be for ever tense and complex influencing in the whole America area as is happening now, with no gain or profit for anyone ..

A house divided against itself, it will disappear.More than twenty years ago when I was living with my family in Cuba,the cuban goverment took the decision to quietly invite a Cuban-American legislator to visit Cuba and discuss the problems between the two Cuban communities, but on that occasion had no such support in Miami and the visit was not even considered, much less a protocol for dialogue within the nation, both in Miami and Havana. Today I see that happening as well, history repeats itself, although it remains the policy of Raul Castro in Cuba to discuss everything except the sovereignty and independence of the island.
Taliban groups which are also called Cuban exile intransigent positions worthy of the age of the caves are today the main obstacle to the commencement of negotiations between Havana and Washington on the basis of preliminary discussions between Cuban-American leaders and executives Cubans on the island.

Una casa dividida contra si misma, desaparecera...
y cuando esto suceda, cuando no tengamos un grupo fuerte de cabilderos cubanoamericanos en Washington, las relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos seran eternamente tensas y complejas influyendo en toda el area America como ahora esta ocurriendo, sin ninguna ganancia para nadie.


Hace mas de veinte anos,cuando yo estaba viviendo con mi familia en Cuba, se tomo la decision de invitar discretamente a un legislador cubano americano para que recorriera Cuba y discutiera los problemas entre las dos comunidades cubanas, pero en aquella oportunidad no tuvo ningun tipo de apoyo en Miami y la visita no siquiera fue considerada, mucho menos un protocolo de dialogo en el seno de La Nacion, tanto en Miami como en La Habana.Hoy veo que esta pasando lo mismo,se repite la historia, pese a que se mantiene la linea politica de Raul Castro en Cuba de discutirlo todo, menos la soberania y la independencia de la isla.Los grupos talibanes del que asimismo se denomina exilio intransigente cubano con posiciones dignas de la edad de las cavernas son hoy por hoy el principal obstaculo para que comiencen las negociaciones entre La Habana y Washington sobre la base de conversaciones previas entre lideres cubano-americanos y dirigentes cubanos de la isla.

Obama is absolutely right and the Cuban health system is the demonstration of his thesis.

The Cuban doctors have as much or more credit sometimes that average American physician. Cubans phisicians have a high preparation, however, but when they decide to live in America do not have a government plan to regain the title, and in some cases, very lucky, supported by friends and relatives and years of work and strong effort, come to be nurses.

Obama is absolutely right and the Cuban health system is the demonstration of his thesis. When you visit Cuba, as recently I did for ten days,you will see how it work, a model of free universal health care system.
In twenty minutes at a Cuban hospital I have one medical diagnosis about my neuropathy in the feet. In the U.S. this diagnosis was under an expensive insurance, took two years, several doctors, pills that did not work, lots of analysis and testing with sophisticated devices and the treatment was not as wide and acurate to have relief as that prescribed for me by a cuban doctoress of 35 years old in one consult at the emergency room- but she told me I must have hospital test to get more prescriptions about -, so,later, I spend only five minutes with some ear condition, in the same hospital, with another doctor that gave me an effective treatment. In hospital emergency room U.S. took over an hour with the same condition in the ear and it was very expensive.

Your Health( and family) can go to bankrrupcy lowering your quality of life very easy in the same hands of the wolfs of privated corporation that have been put the country economy in a dead end of cracking banks, short sales and housing problems and in a very difficult times for the future of the economy of the country only seeking profit it does not matter what Katryna could happen later.

Of course, this is no coincidence, for years. thousands of Cubans from Miami traveled to Cuba with the aim of to have cure with a Cuban doctor and hospitals where there are an incredible lack of resources due to the US embargo ( Moreover, some economists talk of "crisis of crisis"-in Cuba- because last year the country suffered the passage of 3 hurricane that swept the island, causing losses of over U.S. $ 10,000 million, mainly in housing and agriculture.. .Ref: BBC Mundo: linckhttp://translate.google.com/translate?tl=en&sourceid=ie8-activity&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fmundo%2Feconomia%2F2009%2F09%2F090911_1703_crisis_cuba_mr.shtml) but it does no matter, the health system work very easy, anyway.

If, moreover, we take consideracion that the quality of life for Cubans senior is much higher than average elderly Americans will realize that the privately owned health system does not work at the state level as it is succefull for retail corporated bussines or another kind of bussines.

For me, President Barack Obama is absolutely right in his eagerness to RELATES social measures at the American health system because is a technical problem of the state in the same way every state must have the control of the quality of food, drugs, hearth, atmospheric and water resources esential for life,any owner can garantee those ones, and if you want to check, visit Cuba where there is even a mental health plan at the community level, something rare in U.S. the country that spends more money and resources in public health.

Obama tiene toda la razon y el sistema de salud cubano es la demostracion de su tesis.Cuando visite Cuba, recientemente, en veinte minutos en un hospital cubano una medico diagnostico la neuropatia que padezo en los pies.En Estados Unidos este diagnostico, bajo un caro seguro medico, requirio dos anos, varios medicos, pastillas que no funcionaron, montones de analisis y pruebas con aparatos sofisticados y el tratamiento no fue tan amplio como el que me recetaron en Cuba, asi me paso con el oido, en el hospital cubano me diagnostico el medico en cinco minutos y me dio un tratamiento efectivo, en la sala de emergencia del hospital norteamericano tardaron mas de una hora con la misma condicion.Claro, esto no es casualidad, hace anos. miles de cubanos de Miami viajan a Cuba con el objetivo de verse con un medico cubano y en los hospitales de Cuba donde hay una increible falta de recursos debido al embargo.Si, ademas, tomamos en consideracion que la calidad de vida de los ancianos cubanos es muy superior al promedio de los ancianos norteamericanos nos daremos cuenta de que en manos privadas el sistema de salud no funciona.Para mi, el Presidente Barack Obama tiene toda la razon en su afan de aplicare medidas sociales al sistema de salud norteamericano, y si quiere comprobarlo, visite Cuba donde existe incluso un plan de salud mental a nivel de comunidad, algo imprensable en Estados Unidos, el pais que mas dinero y recursos gasta en salud publica

Africa and sub-sahara in the caribbean languages.University of Guayana.

A note about the linguistic influence in the caribbean area:
For me as an author on the topic of Caribbean identity onto the linguistic problem with this event of the University of Guyana that we show above published in the "Staebrok News" of Guyana is demostrated, while not fully studied, that we need an interdisciplinary international conference about spoken caribbean linguistic and literature because, is evident in the poetic literature, for example, of the Dominican poet Victor Villegas, National Award, and the cuban writer Lezama Lima the influences of the Peking Opera in the Spanish -African trunk and the french(creole) and english language contextual reference.

More than a creole we would had been considered the speech in the caribbean, perhaps, it would be better we considered about how the structures of communication match every spoken language in the caribbean vinculated to dance and painting and became to have influence in the literature it does not matter in what language you write or took in a more wider semantic conception of the language, than the linguistic-phonetic normative, as a process of communication.

"(...)Allsopp (Prof. Richard Allsopp, University of Guyana, author of "Oxford 1996 Caribbean Dictionaire(*))was a main contributor to the affirmation of the theory that Caribbean creoles are derived more from African languages, grammar and syntax and African linguistic ‘concepts’ than merely from imperfect attempts to speak English. He was an ardent researcher into the African origins of volumes of words used in Caribbean Creoles. Words such as ‘jook’ and ‘nyam’ belong to African languages, while terms like ‘cut-eye’ and ‘eye water’ apply English words to linguistic characteristics belonging to sub-Saharan African languages.

Allsopp’s A Book of Afric Caribbean Proverbs"(+) may also be seen in this context since it traces the African origins of much of Caribbean oral literature and especially proverbs. He points out that there is no comparable volume of proverbs and folk tales surviving from any of the Indian or Chinese cultures.

REFERENCES ABOUT THE QUOTATION CITED FROM THE GUYANA NEWSPAPER" STABROEK NEWS":
(*)
Review:
Allsopp, Richard. (Ed.). 1996. Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage. New York: Oxford University Press. Pp. 697, lxxviii. (With a French and Spanish supplement edited by J.E. Allsopp, 669-97). Published in: Caribbean Studies, 30 (1), 2002, 274-277.

Over 25 years in the making, the Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage (DCEU) is a monumental lexicographical effort consisting of 657 pages dedicated to the explanation of over 20,000 words and phrases derived from tape recorded speech and over 1,000 written sources collected in 22 English-speaking Caribbean territories. It is destined to be a much consulted volume in the libraries of creolists, researchers of World Englishes, and most important, teachers of English in the Caribbean.
Editor Richard Allsopp, retired professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of West Indies, Barbados campus, specifies the immediate goal of the DCEU as the preparation of “a careful account of what is current, at least as an available basis for intra-regional intelligence...a descriptive work...that reliably itemizes the environmental data and details the current life-style agenda of the English-speaking Caribbean” (xxv). He accomplishes this via an intricate system in which entries are ordered as follows: first, the headword with syllabic divisions, followed by related forms, variant forms, pronunciation (given in modified IPA symbols), pitch-contour or tone-pattern, part of speech, syntactic function, territorial label (when the entry is found in six or more territories, it is given a general label of CarA, Caribbean Area), status label (level of formality), allonyms (other designations in other territories), subject label (context of gloss), gloss (often encyclopedic in form), illustrative citation (from oral or written sources), etymology (when available), usage notes, and phrases.
The DCEU makes interesting reading, beginning with Allsopp’s thorough and informative introduction which gives a historical overview of the Caribbean territories, an account of earlier lexicographic projects in the area, and a report on the fieldwork methodology utilized in the preparation of the dictionary and the intellectual and logistical problems encountered in the same. Perhaps the most compelling part of this introduction is the section titled: “The work as cultural agent,” in which Allsopp declares that: “the DCEU should be an inward and spiritual operator of regional integration even more powerful as a signal of unity than a national flag would be” (xxxi). He goes on to state that: “The weight of evidence supplied in this work should provide sufficient ground to build Caribbean pride to replace the earlier colonial shamefacedness and inhibitions bedevilling this region” (xxxi).
The introduction is followed by an equally fascinating section titled: “Caribbean English,” in which Allsopp explores the historical development of the Caribbean varieties, probing the many linguistic stocks that contributed to the distinctive lexicon of the different territories. He introduces the term “allonym” to describe the different names or labels established in different areas for the same referent. He also describes the general phonological, morphological, syntactic, and etymological characteristics of Caribbean English. Finally, he addresses the problematic issues of standard, accepted, and formal language, and gives the following (sure to be quoted) definition of Caribbean Standard English:
The literate English of educated nationals of Caribbean territories and their spoken English such as is considered natural in formal social contexts. There being many such territories, each with its own recognizable ‘standard’, Caribbean Standard English would be the total body of regional lexicon and usage bound to a common core of syntax and morphology shared with Internationally Accepted English, but aurally distinguished as a discrete type by certain phonological features such as a marked levelling of British English diphthongs and a characteristic disconnection of pitch from stress as compared with British and American sound patterns (lvi).

In addition to these significant essays, the DCEU contains very useful sections dedicated to defining linguistic terminology, explaining the layout and functioning of the volume, and glossing the abbreviations and symbols used. It closes with a listing of the citation codes for bibliographical references used in the dictionary and a useful supplement (prepared by Jeannette Allsopp) of French and Spanish equivalents for common items of flora and fauna listed in the main body of the work.
Browsing through the dictionary is like tasting a new food which is seemingly familiar yet tantalizingly exotic in its nuances. Among the terms which personally intrigued this reviewer were: abolition payment (severance pay), AfroSaxon (a black person who apes white ways), afternoon (buttocks), break biche (play hooky), bring-and-carry (gossip), cut language good (to speak a language well), eye-water (tears), moo-moo (shy or stupid person), Nebuary morning (never), nowherian (person with no religious affiliation, homeless person), pania (Belizean person of Spanish descent), payol (Trinidadian version of previous term), raw English (unpolished speech), stocious (attractive, snobbish), and unbutton your teeth (speak).
The DCEU is not without its limitations. Among these are the geographic boundaries imposed by the editor. Allsopp includes only territories that were once British colonies (with the exception of the U.S. Virgin Islands), despite the fact that English is spoken (in standard and creolized varieties) by sizeable populations in other Caribbean areas like Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, and Panama. There are also problems with the rather artificial association of lexical entries with “acrolectal,” “basilectal,” and “mesolectal” varieties. In addition, creolists seeking “deeper creole” forms will be disappointed as the DCEU purposefully avoids such entries or relegates them to “Anti-formal” usage, labelled as “jocular,” “derogatory,” or “vulgar.
However, these limitations are greatly outweighed by the overall excellence of the volume. A particularly important contribution is the substantiation of a strong sub-Saharan African origin for many compound words and idiomatic phrases in Caribbean English which have proven to be calques or folk translations of African ways of putting things. Allsopp argues that since in countless examples Caribbean Anglophone idioms are directly matched by Caribbean Francophone equivalents which could not have resulted from contact among speakers, therefore they must have had a common ancestor in the Niger-Congo family of languages. Allsopp views this discovery as sending “a strong message of genetic relationship among the sub-Saharan African languages, a message from the Caribbean of a oneness of African cultures from the Akan to the Zulu” (xxxiv). This is certainly a thought-provoking notion that should stimulate further international linguistic research that goes beyond the surface level of merely identifying African loanwords in the Caribbean.

Product DescriptionThis book brings together a selection of about 1300 Anglophone Creole proverbs preserved as the guidance-lore of the millions of enslaved forebears of today's Caribbean Afric peoples - the author s preferred term for all international peoples of the African diaspora. Their ways of thought and expression, characterized by the common orality and life-ways of the sub-Saharan cultures from which they had been uprooted, surfaced in parallel imagery in the similarly structured Creoles which, across the region, they had invented out of the conceptual rootstock of original African languages. That imagery flourishes in their proverbs. A proverb is described "as a gem of utterance sparkling with a message that the hearer would like to remember, and therefore probably retains, in that form", and this collection seeks first respectfully to recognize wisdom in the powerful simplicity of the proverbs in their Creole form. Each is then followed by a restatement in Standard English for clarification or pedagogical use, a rendering in rhymed verse for the reader 's entertainment,and further explanatory notes - the whole making an enlightening, perhaps new road in the literature of orality. Many popular collections of Caribbean territorial proverbs exist and continue to be produced, but this collection, apart from its greater coverage is likely to be the first scholarly cross-referencing of the entire Anglophone field of Caribbean proverbs in some 22 territories from Guyana to the Bahamas and Belize. About the AuthorDr Richard Allsopp, creator of the Caribbean Lexicography Project at the University of the West Indies at Cave Hill, Barbados, and its Director since 1971, retired as Reader in English Language and Linguistics in 1990, and has continued his pioneering work in Caribbean Lexicography since then. Guyanese Crane Gold Medallist and author of some 70 published articles in scholarly journals and books, his major publication is the Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage (1996), and it is out of the mass of data personally collected for that dictionary throughout the Caribbean, over a period of more than 20 years, that the present collection of proverbs was taken.

Allsopp(Pro. Richard Allsopp, University of Guyana, autor del Dictionario del Caribe Oxford 1996*) era un principal contribuyente a la afirmación de la teoría de que los idiomas creoles del Caribe se derivan más de las lenguas africanas, la gramática y la sintaxis y lingüística de África "conceptos" que simplemente imperfecciones de los intentos de hablar Inglés por los naturales. El fue un investigador apasionado sobre los orígenes africanos de los sintagmas de las palabras utilizadas en los criollos del Caribe. Palabras tales como 'jook' y 'nyam' pertenecen a las lenguas africanas, mientras que términos como "reducción de ojos 'y' ojo de agua" se aplican las palabras Inglés a las características lingüísticas que pertenecen a las lenguas africanas subsaharianas.En la obra de Allsopp "Libro de los Proverbios Africanos del Caribe" también se puede observar en este contexto, ya que rastrea los orígenes africanos de gran parte de la literatura oral y el Caribe, especialmente proverbios. Señala que no hay volumen comparable de los proverbios y los cuentos populares ya que no existen proverbios sobrevivientes de ninguna de las culturas indígenas o de China.

Extremes of capitalism are rampant in the US, where costs in health care, utilities, housing, banking, taxes and education keep blacks in economic slavery. All Americans are gradually becoming slaves to multinational corporations as their own politicians, both the Democrats and Republicans, auction their freedoms to morons greedy for profits. Consequently, there are 37.3 million Americans living in poverty while 3.5 million people in America are homeless. Another 7.3 million Americans are in the prison system, with 2.3 million (almost equal to the entire Jamaican population) behind bars.
Los extremos del capitalismo están muy extendidos en los EE.UU., donde los costos en la atención de la salud, servicios públicos, la vivienda, la banca, los impuestos y la educación de mantener a los negros en la esclavitud económica. Todos los norteamericanos están convirtiendo gradualmente en esclavos de las corporaciones multinacionales, como sus propios políticos, tanto los demócratas y los republicanos, la subasta de sus libertades de tarados ávidos de ganancias. En consecuencia, hay 37,3 millones de estadounidenses que viven en la pobreza mientras que 3,5 millones de personas en Estados Unidos son personas sin hogar. Otro 7.3 millones de estadounidenses están en el sistema penitenciario, con 2,3 millones (casi igual a toda la población de Jamaica) tras las rejas.

"Jamaicans must say no to deceptive democracy, a legacy of colonialism, whereby politicians weasel themselves into power only to oppress their constituents. Once over-Anglicised, Jamaicans are now becoming slaves to Americanism although their only obligation to former colonisers, as they develop the Jamaican way of life, should be to go to Europe and North America to take back some of what was stolen from them. Jamaicans cannot afford to remain victims of Euro-American capitalism whereby humans are made slaves to corporations in the name of profits.
People's workloads are increasing as break times decrease and labour unions are crippled or banned. People paid per hour spend nearly 10 hours on behalf of the job but get paid for eight hours. Lunch hour is not paid for and the hour or so spent driving to and from work is at the labourer's expense. Corporations force workers to sign policy statements making the company their slave master. Comfortable working conditions are not guaranteed and workers must clean up or paint their workplaces to stay employed. Profit-makers are now God Almighty; corporate bosses are kings; and the common people are expendable pawns destined to become collateral damage."

Los jamaiquinos deben decir no a la democracia engañosa, un legado del colonialismo, por el que los políticos comadreja de sí mismos en el poder estan sólo para oprimir a sus mandantes. Una vez más-anglicano, los jamaiquinos se están convirtiendo en esclavos del americanismo, aunque
es su única obligación con los antiguos colonizadores, a medida que desarrollan la forma de Jamaica de la vida, deben ir a Europa y América del Norte para recuperar algo de lo que les fue robado. Los jamaicanos no pueden permitirse el lujo de seguir siendo víctimas del Euro-capitalismo estadounidense según el cual los seres humanos se hacen esclavos de las empresas en nombre de las ganancias.
Las cargas de trabajo para la gente son cada vez mayores, como disminuir los tiempos de descanso, los sindicatos están controlados o prohibidos. La gente pagada por hora pasan casi 10 horas, en nombre del trabajo, pero se les paga por ocho horas. La hora de comer no se paga y la hora que tardan en ir al lugar de trabajo es a expensas del trabajador. Las empresas obligan a los trabajadores a firmar declaraciones en la formulación de políticas de la compañía a voluntad del dueno o la corporacion. Las condiciones de trabajo no están garantizados y los trabajadores deben limpiar o pintar sus lugares de trabajo para mantener su empleo sin ganancia alguna ante los responsables que son como Dios Todopoderosos; los jefes corporativos son los reyes, y la gente común son peones disponibles destinado a convertirse en daños colaterales.

Smoking May Worsen Malnutrition In Developing Nations


"Nearly 60 percent of Indonesian men smoke. Rates are similarly high—and increasing—in other developing Asian nations. Block and Webb's research suggests that these increasing rates pose a dual threat to developing nations."(poorer nutrition in children of smoker parents)

ScienceDaily (Aug. 24, 2009)A new study finds that smokers in rural Indonesia finance their habit by dipping into the family food budget—which ultimately results in poorer nutrition for their children.
Using surveys of 33,000 mostly poor households in Java, Indonesia, the researchers found that the average family with at least one smoker spends 10 percent of its already tight budget on tobacco. Sixty-eight percent of a smoking family's budget goes to food, and 22 percent for non-food, non-tobacco purchases. The average non-smoking family, on the other hand, spends 75 percent of its income on food and 25 percent for non-food items.
"This suggests that 70 percent of the expenditures on tobacco products are financed by a reduction in food expenditures," the researchers write.

The study found that smokers' children tend to be slightly shorter for their ages than the children of non-smokers.
The poorer nutrition in smoking families comes not only because they buy less food in total, but also because the food they buy tends to be of lower quality.

Cuba: wrong infraestructure and food production loss.


We reproduced here a newspaper article Cuban "Granma" about serious problems in the distribution of food in the domestic market that have not yet been solved on the island where the price of these essential items is high (due the need of food importation and bad managing in the domestic market) for low income people and retired seniors.
The problem is that to rest only in the centralized state management in the distribution and sale of goods does not meet the market demand as these problems are common in Cuba for nearly half a century and never have had only solution in state hands.
Now this mistakes are so critical in the state balance due to climatic change, price food and global economy crisis at least for a decade in poor countries.

Do not let us surprise the maja
Groove to the table, it is urgent to overcome a stumbling block: how to distribute timely and crops that require much effort. A farmer habanero, with proverbial wisdom, summarized in a sentence of criollo lineage marrow of the matter:
Juan Varela Pérez and Pedro de la Hozmailto:juan.pvp@granma.cip.cu mailto:pedro.hg@granma.cip.cu
Farmers, when laws, have no shame. Many country people who work in Havana fertile pain felt an electric shock when in the last days of July and August largely faced a situation that could not conceive: the deterioration of considerable volumes of tubers and vegetables in warehouses and yards trading units, enterprises, due to delays in their extraction by those who should steer the goods to urban centers, mainly the capital.

It hurt that much more knowing that blatantly contradicted the political will of the socialist state. "Here we commented Raul's speeches in the act of 26 in Holguin and then in the National Assembly, we were certified as true and give everything to accomplish what we were asking, and meanwhile we saw that there was no response to move the collection to his destination, "says Alcides Roman, stevedore and secretary of the union section of the collective unit Alquízar marketer.
A veteran producer of Guira de Melena, Johnny Alfonso Martinez, tells him: "It is the face-see that you left back in the groove, from sunrise to sunset, five or six months for nothing. If I was selfish and thought only in me, I'd say overall, I will pay the same for my production. But you did not: one must Fidel, Raul, the people, and you want that food reaches the people. And I think we believe many ".

This has been corroborated the team of editors and photojournalists Granma who traveled last weekend and golf companies Quivicán Batabano, Guira de Melena and Alquízar.
LOGICAL DESIGN, encountered in practice
Everything had its origin in the recent reformulation of the mechanisms that down the line that links production with distribution of agricultural items in the Havana area.

It began with a neat design for its logic. Workers and peasants from their productive organizations require them to grow and harvest on the basis of maximizing the land, raise yields, reduce losses, in short, provide quantity and quality with efficiency.
Companies should focus on hiring and production services to producers. Require volumes, diversity and quality, and pay for it according to the results. And you will be responsible for relationships with distributors, ie the wholesale for distribution, a task entrusted to the Ministry of Domestic Trade (MINCIN).

This assumes the commercial functions previously exercised Collection entities. Its mission is to bring the harvest from receiving points in the municipalities to the markets and squares.
However, we note the points visited concurring opinions about the reality did not comply initially with the expectation of a design that anticipated the setting up of an oiled mechanism.
On several occasions the flow of transport was intermittent and there were instances of loaded trucks remained a week or more waiting to show them where to take the product.

The uncertainty in the fate of an effect on shipments to distribution delays and caused significant losses in both Business Units Base Agricultural Products Marketing attached to Crop Several companies, such as destination points, so it was with battered and blackened banana. By losing quality, its price is much lower than what the company paid to the producer and is almost negligible due to its deterioration, is sold to pig, which adversely affects the entity.
It seems that MINCIN organization was not sufficiently prepared to meet the mandates. Workers, peasants and leaders of the visited companies agreed to note how the reordering of functions responded to an unavoidable necessity for the sake of system efficiency, but also questioned the lack of foresight and improvisations to implement it. Even some of the respondents do not yet have clearly defined the virtues and possibilities of the new system.

An additional, and not petty, they are concerned: the return of boxes and bags. They simply do not return. So far no answer for it. Jorge Luis Verde, business unit marketing Quivicán base has its criteria: the drivers no longer belong to the company, and come one today and another tomorrow, not in them or encourages them concern the return and retention of the containers, this creates serious financial complications given the cost of them.
"This is not to blame anyone, point out Tomas Rafael Rodriguez Varona and Arturo Tellez, production managers of companies in Guira de Melena and Batabano, respectively, but to correct the draft. In the last month we had 200 tons daily average , and more, ready to embark on our receipt and delivery points. In all honesty, the extraction has been improved along the way. What can not is a deterrent to the productive forces. "

On the encouraging results in the production, Thomas said: we have farmers with yields of 51 tonnes per hectare of sweet potato, 34 potato, 42 of carrots, rates may rise. And we're taking us very much to heart the need to replace imports of grains and rice.
Business Experiences
Something similar happened in the agricultural enterprise Quivicán. Govin Heredia Gonzalez, technical and development director, believes that the challenge now is to prepare and create conditions for the cold season, when they meet various crops, and avoid a repeat of what happened in August-the best in recent years regarding to volume-month in that 10% of the stockpiled did not reach the population.
The business organization of Alquízar live two realities at once. It is an entity managed by the Youth Labor Army. A small fleet of trucks delivers products directly to 12 markets (10 of them in the capital) that the people identified as those of EJT, where the retail price is lower than those in other state markets. This operation is performed daily. The merchandise arrives fresh to the consumer.
But that is the fate of only a portion of its production. The reporters witnessed a scene eloquently.
A truck hired by the MINCIN into the courtyard of the trading unit, overflowing with bunches of bananas. It was Saturday afternoon and as the stevedores were not for Internal Trade, the driver decided to return empty to the capital.
The political response of the unit employees was immediate: "We're going to charge you. Onelio Lazaro Cruz, head of the unit, did not talk much with his people to put to work.
"I carry 38 years in agriculture and received, with reason, sticks of all colors," confesses Félix Villar, deputy director of the company alquizareña "but this time I say here has responded like never before. The credit belongs to producers. When, after the hurricanes last year were asked an extraordinary effort, met the short-cycle crops to markets covered barren. Then they went in depth with the cold season and were the results. True, the State, even under the difficult circumstances facing the country, given resources, but also true that worked politically and ethically motivated. I can tell you that our farmers and workers are people of principle. The majority supported the struggle against speculation and illegal trafficking of products.
"We've improved," he added with respect to the rotation of crops, land use and consistent application of agro-technical measures. We are moving towards greater diversification of meats, vegetables and fruit. But I have heard of a nefarious theory, which seeks to justify the evil done: some people say when they see that the ships of the trading unit are maxed out, which occurred over the plans. Listen, criminal in Cuba is about productive surpluses, when we know that Food must stomp. What is needed is to distribute and market it as it should, rationally, agility and efficiency. Politics is producing more, and yet, to my knowledge, do not produce what people really need. "
Something like that think Victor Alfonso Diaz, president of the Cooperative Credit and Service Frank Pais in Guira: "The state gives, so we must give the state. A producer who fails to act and not respected. See my case. With seeds, fuel and fertilizer received, I have achieved in the last year in crops that have increased my income by 25%. And in that time I have provided the company a 35% higher than before possible. So we all win. But victory is not achieved without proper marketing.
IN THE PRODUCTION LINE
The same criterion based Pedro Ariel Beltran to the CCS Nicomedes Corvo, Quivicán. Emphasizes the improvement in delayed payments-not-on average 10 days and claims that this effort of the State "must respond optimally using the resources we deliver".
The engineer Carlos Delgado, an expert on everything on the company Batabano, for years recognized that Havana did not have an insurance program as in 2008 and so far east. Therefore it is unacceptable that such an effort, in the midst of the economic constraints facing the country, does not have the expected result: the satisfaction of our people.
Alfonso Martinez Juanito ensures that farmers productive reserves are yet to be exploited Havana: "The issue is not only working but know how to work. But just as the earth we must anticipate what will happen," planning the work, play him head to rain, not waste workforce, throughout the system imposes the same philosophy. I learned a saying with the old: the knife plunges into the earth before passing the boa, boa do not let that surprise you " .

We all have a responsibility for energy policy and social and economic cooperation, beyond the strategy, its timing, the ideology and party politics, to the earth and the growing number of millions of destitute refugees UN and increasingly amount of hungry people without a minimum habitat for a human being in the planet due not to have international trade, lack of communication and imbalance of the global economy inside the two engines that move the world today: China and the U.S.
President Obama represents a change in the nature of communications between the U.S. and Latin America under the threat of social upheaval throughout the region, economic crisis are now beginning to develop and unexpected climatic changes.
Social measures are measures of crisis, not a particular ideology, and is a current that arises within the institutions themselves amid a U.S. under economic crisis and climate change around the world.
The ideology is not sufficient to explain the need for this new kind of the nature of the communication between America and Latin America, now with Obama in the White House, to survive as cultures in the whole America area in the close next future very uncertain and understood.
Mas reponsabilidad y menos palabras para justificar fracasos y errores del pasado en un mundo donde el presente es incierto para todos y donde usted nunca sabe que va a pasar el minuto siguiente.
Tenemos todos una responsabilidad en materia de politica energetica y de cooperacion social y economica, mas alla de la estrategia, la coyuntura, la ideologia y la politica de partidos, ante el planeta tierra y el creciente numero de millones de indigentes y refugiados de Naciones Unidas hambrientos y que no tienen un habitat minimo para un ser humano debido a la falta de tratados internacionales, comunicacion entre estados y al desequilibrio irresponsable de la economia mundial y de los dos motores que mueven hoy el mundo: China y Estados Unidos.

El Presidente Obama representa un cambio en la naturaleza de las comunicaciones entre Estados Unidos y Latinoamerica bajo la amenaza de conmociones sociales en toda la region, crisis economicas que comienzan ahora a desarrollarse y cambios climaticos inesperados.
Las medidas sociales son medidas de crisis, no una ideologia particular, y es una corriente que surge dentro de las propias instituciones norteamericanas en medio de una crisis economica y climatica en todo el planeta.

La ideologia y/o la politica de coyunturas no bastan para explicar la necesidad de esa nueva naturaleza de la comunicacion entre America y Latinoamerica, ahora poisible con Barack Obama en el poder, para sobrevivir como culturas en el toda el area America ante cualquier evento del futuro cercano.


The Capture of Saigon in 1975, by the patriotic forces of liberation of Viet Nam, change the global political situation, the vision of the world and culture as a commodity associated with the economy and so-called higher races.
From this historical event, without precedented in the fight against colonialism and its aftermath, intellectuals around the world began to focus on Western culture as a mass economy booming, but dangerous for decadent in its ideals and spiritual values that can lead to man and earth to a dead end ...
La Toma de Saigon en 1975, por las fuerzas patrioticas de liberacion de Viet Nam, cambio la coyuntura politica a nivel mundial, la vision del mundo y de la cultura como un bien asociado a la economia y a las razas denominadas superiores.
A partir de este hecho historico, sin precedentes en la lucha contra el colonialismo y sus secuelas, los intelectuales en el mundo entero comenzaron a enfocar la cultura occidental como una economia de masas floreciente, pero, peligrosa por decadente en sus ideales y sus valores espirituales que pueden llevar al hombre y a la tierra a un callejon sin salida...



The loss of spiritual values in affluent societies and development and technology as a tool of exploitation of man, their habitat and earth, humanistic sense erodes the current political discourse of Western democracy is said Christian and Greco-Roman.
La perdida de valores espirituales en las sociedades ricas y desarrolladas y la tecnologia como instrumento de explotacion del hombre, su habitat y la tierra, hace perder el sentido humanistico al discurso politico actual de la democracia occidental que se autocalifica como cristiana y de raices grecolatinas...




A rebirth of ideas in Latin America but a political alignment is impossible to control by encouraging coups and the use of extraterritorial laws as exemplified by the case of Cuba for fifty years.
On this occasion, as happened during the Renaissance in Italy, full of contradictions,we are not facing a current Latin American politics under the influence of the cold war, but rather a philosophical current 0f affirmative action whose roots are in T'oussanint L'Overture, Miranda, Bolivar and even Abraham Lincoln, The American Secesion War,Don Benito Juarez, Jose Marti, and U.S. influences over the choice of first black president election. The nature of the process in Latin America is a philosophical current which originates inside the history of the America.
The problem of democracy in Latin America through the discrimination of large segments Indians, blacks and generally exploited peasants uprooted by a wealthy minority, sold to foreign powers for their individualism and irresponsible elite owns the media, education and culture and tries to impose its privileges generation after generation since the days of slavery when we were a colony of Europe, so we have to understand the "movement of Latin American left" under intense class struggle that will not evolve into democratic forms until the Latin American and Caribbean governments to implement social policies that give legal protection to these oppressed classes with basic access to habitat, education, health, media, culture, durable goods in any society to which now, in practice only the most privileged access.

On several occasions the legal order of democracy and individual freedom are meaningless to the masses in Latin America for a process of radicalization of affirmative action. That matters to an Indian, a black, an exploited peasant democracy, individual liberty, habeas corpus and legal protection of citizens that can only benefit a minority in their country rich and its partners (as is evident in For Honduras, for example) the only ones with real capacities to express themselves in the media and the financial ability to travel within and outside the country in many cases?
Bourgeois law and Napoleonic philosophy of most of our constitutions that long ago lost the content for the masses of exploited people in Latin America, sold, oppressed and even enslaved as domestic servants. But that does not even have heard the governments of rich countries with the mentality of the fifties of last century or even worse, with the mentality of the era in which right-wing intellectual elites in the U.S. press of the time, critics Bolivar to his populism with the lower classes and blacks.
The problem of democracy and individual freedom under the Charter of Human Rights in Latin America is that historically and generally strengthen the legal protection of the rich minority subjecting the majority to exploitation with very high levels of surplus value, without rights or benefits for the worker, an elite sold to foreign capital and irresponsabnle actually govern the country and put and remove a President, and this is suspect to the exploited masses, especially if the discourse on democracy is American or European operators where these peripheral classes at generally have money in the bank and a holiday home.
If, for example, you are president of a Latin American country with social interests of the majority population with no real legal protection, take into account that a failure of political governance and / or economical you can lead to a cul output such as the IMF First will make a loan to Poland, Hungary or the Czech Republic, and in far greater quantities and better condition than when it is given to a Latin American or Caribbean country, and never will, for instance, the aid received by Spain, for example, from its partners in the European Union, this simple fact your behavior radicalized as President to the stability of the nation and the internal class struggle.

The problem is not so easy nor so logical for these oppressed sectors that support those who represent them as historical consciousness of his reason for being, establishing affirmative action with respect to the discrimination they suffer is not the root of a problem to be in the right or the left, as some have raised, nor a choice between democracy and individual freedom, is far beyond, now under the conditions of climate change and energy crises that require governments lucid, very responsible and energetic as was the case in America of Abraham Lincoln area if for these reasons do not hesitate to attack the South American slavery and civil war imposed by the abolition of slavery by which I foresee, that despite its errors and contradictions with the U.S. and Europe, none of these governments are representative of masses will be left with impunity seize power for the great support that sustains them: most exploited. Here we show the statements about a Mexican writer Jorge Volpi.

En esta ocasion no estamos ante una corriente politica latinoamericana bajo la influencia de la guerra fria, sino ante una corriente filosofica de accion afirmativa cuyas raices estan en T'oussaint L'Overture,Miranda, Bolivar, Abraham Lincoln, Don Benito Juarez, Jose Marti... y que incluso influye en Estados Unidos con la eleccion del primer Presidente negro: Barack Obama.La naturaleza del proceso latinoamericano es una corriente filosofica que nace en el area America como ocurrio durante el Renacimiento en Italia, pletorico de contradicciones.

El problema de la democracia en America Latina pasa por la discriminacion de amplios sectores indigenas, negros y campesinos explotados generalmente por una minoria rica desarraigada, vendida a potencias extranjeras e irresponsable por su individualismo de elite, duena de los medios de comunicacion, educacion y cultura y que trata de imponer sus privilegios generation tras generacion desde la epoca de la esclavitud cuando eramos colonia de Europa, asi tenemos que entender el llamado movimiento de izquierda latinoamericana sometido a una intensa lucha de clases que no va a evolucionar hacia formas democraticas hasta que los gobiernos latinoamericanos y caribenos implementen medidas sociales que le den proteccion juridica a estas clases oprimidas con un acceso basico al habitat, la educacion, la salud, los medios de comunicacion, la cultura, bienes duraderos en cualquier sociedad a los cuales ahora, en la practica, solo tienen acceso los mas privilegiados.
En no pocas ocasiones el orden juridico de la democracia y la liberta individual dejan de tener sentido para las masas en latinoamerica por un proceso de radicalizacion de la accion afirmativa.Que le importa a un indigena, a un negro, a un campesino explotado la democracia, la libertad individual, el habeas corpus y la proteccion juridica del ciudadano que solamente puede disfrutar en su pais una minoria rica y sus asociados,(como es notorio en el caso de la ultraderecha vendida, desarraigada y sumamente iresponsable de Honduras, por ejemplo, o como lo fue el ejemplo de la irresponsable Junta Militar Argentina que desemboco en la Toma de Las Malvinas por Inglaterra y la venta del estado al sector privado por Menem) los unicos con capacidad real para expresarse en los medios de comunicacion y con capacidad economica para viajar dentro y fuera del pais en muchos casos?


El problema de la democracia y la libertad individual bajo la Carta de Derechos Humanos en America Latina es que historicamente y por lo general refuerzan la proteccion juridica de la minoria que somete a la mayoria a explotacion con elevadisimos niveles de plusvalia, sin derechos, ni beneficios para el trabajador, una elite vendida al capital extranjero e irresponsabnle que realmente gobierna el pais y pone y quita un Presidente-o lo saca en pijamas de la camas donde duerme y lo lanza a un pais extranjero o... al Polo Norte en cuestion de minutos como suele suceder en Honduras-, y esto resulta sospechoso ante las masas explotadas, sobre todo si el discursos sobre democracia es norteamericano o europeo donde estass clases explotadores por lo general tienen dinero en el banco y una casa de vacaciones.

El derecho burgues y la filosofia napoleonica de la mayoria de nuestras constituciones hace rato que perdieron el contenido del discurso para las grandes masas de poblacion latinoamericana explotadas,- de ahi que la izquierda les llama "cantos de sirena del imperio", de esas masas vendidas, oprimidas e incluso esclavizadas como empleados domesticos.Pero de eso no se han enterado aun los gobiernos de paises ricos con la mentalidad de los anos cincuenta del siglo pasado o peor aun, con la mentalidad de la epoca en que las elites intelectuales de ultraderecha, en la prensa norteamericana de la epoca, criticaban a Bolivar su populismo con las clases mas bajas y los negros.
Si, por ejemplo, eres Presidente de un pais latinoamericano con intereses sociales sobre la poblacion mayoritaria sin proteccion juridica real, tendras en cuenta que un error de gobierno politico o/y economico te puede conducir a un callejo sin salida ya que por ejemplo el FMI primero le hara un prestamo a Polonia, Hungria o la Republica Checa, y en mucha mayor cantiad y mejores condiciones que cuando se lo otorga a un pais latinoamericano o caribeno, y jamas tendras, por ejemplo, la ayuda que recibe Espana, por ejemplo, a partir de sus socios de la Union Europea, este simple hecho radicaliza tu conducta como Presidente ante la estabilidad de la Nacion y la lucha de clases interna.
El problema no es tan facil, ni tan logico para estos sectores oprimidos que apoyan a quienes los representan como conciencia historica de su razon de ser, que establecen acciones afirmativas con respecto a la discriminacion a que son sometidos, no es la raiz un problema de la derecha o de la izquierda, como algunos lo plantean, ni tampoco una disyuntiva entre democracia y libertad individual, esta mucho mas alla, ahora bajo las condiciones de un cambio climatico y una crisis energetica que requiere de gobernantes lucidos, muy responsables y energicos como lo fue el caso en el area America de Abraham Lincoln cuando por estos motivos no dudo en atacar el Sur esclavista norteamericano e imponer mediante una guerra civil la abolicion de la esclavitud por lo cual preveo, que pese a sus errores y contradicciones con Estados Unidos y Europa, que ninguno de estos gobiernos representativos de masas se va a dejar arrebatar el poder impunemente por el gran apoyo que los sostiene: la mayoria explotada. aqui les mostramos las declaraciones de un escritor mexicano al respecto: Jorge Volpi. Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34233.

"I think there are signs showing that the younger generation are not used to thinking in purely national terms. The globalization of the media in that sense it has helped to erase the idea that we live in these compartments are the countries.
On the other hand, we are in public life incommunicated. In Latin America know almost all of our neighbors, we just have information beyond the headlines."

"There is a big problem to solve in all countries where there is strong indigenous population. Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Bolivia, where almost without exception remain part of the poorest and most disadvantaged.
Not succeeded in eliminating this huge discrimination, hence it is understandable as a reaction against Morales, whose authoritarian ends, but it is also understandable that attempts to build Bolivian history from the indigenous population that has recently achieved representation parliament."
All this should prompt us to rethink the issue of indigenous peoples and how they can integrate indigenous customs to the Western system.

Africa: changes unpredictable, extreme weather condition and fuzzy rain.


Climate change not only implies a new way of thinking and living, in short, a new approach to every culture, but a reform of the system global primary and secondary education where the students will be teached about the ring energy policy- agriculture - climate change from the childhood to university, this would determine the ability of future generations to survive the impact of unpredictable phenomenon which we are exposed to all in the next future.
Chairman of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Rajendra Pachauri addresses the high level segment of the World Climate Conference-3 (WCC-3) at the CICG in Geneva September 3, 2009.Some 1 500 policy-makers and decision-makers from more than 150 countries will interact with scientific experts to take practical steps to adapt to climate variability and change until September 4.(Xinhua/Reuters Photo)
The awareness of the urgency of taking action against climate change around the world dating back more than fifteen years as sampling this information from Colorado State University, 1997.

For Immediate Release
Wednesday, May 21, 1997Scientists, White House Officials, Industry Groups Gather for National Forum on Climate Change at Colorado State University

FORT COLLINS - Top scientists, national policy makers and environmental groups will gather at Colorado State May 27 to discuss how climate changes affect the Great Plains environment and suggest ways to deal with those changes.

The forum, hosted by Colorado State's Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory in conjunction with the University of Nebraska, is the first of seven regional conferences nationwide sponsored by the U.S. Global Change Research Program and Office of Scientific and Technology Policy. The program, under the auspices of President Clinton, aims to provide a scientific basis for national and international policies surrounding global climate change issues.

The forum will include more than 50 scientists as well as representatives from farming, ranching and conservation groups from Colorado, Montana, Nebraska and Washington, D.C.




The experts in climatic changes must support under observation urgent and concrete solutions to face what is happening in Africa as for changes in the climate, the agriculture and the social commotions provoked by the hunger..
We must considered to think about that wrong global policies about Africa from rich countries with colonial mentality instead supporting them the real needs of africans peoples are increasing the climatic change, refugee crisis and unestability in the region when we read so many information in the international media like, like this one. Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34233. Link:.http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/katineblog/2009/sep/07/livelihoods-international-aid-and-development

"Over the past thirty years, global policy decisions have neglected the role that agriculture plays in the wider development agenda. During this time, agriculture's share of foreign aid has dropped from 17% to 3% of total spend. Instead of supporting roads to bring crops to market or improving farmers' access to training, finance, and technologies, global policies have favoured shipments of food aid instead. Often, these forms of support require more expense despite having less longevity."

"Agriculture is the life-blood of the African economy. Some 75% of the continent's population are farmers, and the crops they grow provide an important means of livelihood for the most vulnerable smallholder farmers. Agriculture also gives those in the rural sector access to a potential source of additional income if they have surplus crops that can be sold at market. Agricultural commodities already represent more than one-third of total exports from Africa.
At the same time, climate change is making it more difficult for Africa's millions of farmers to sustain themselves. Ironically (or more appropriately, tragically) many of the farms and fields already being impacted by climate change are in the poorest regions of the world. In Africa, these changes take the form of less predictable and more extreme weather conditions: rain does not come at the same time during the start of the planting season or it comes in torrential downpours, or not at all."

"If African farmers are supported in introducing modern methods for growing their crops, they can reduce their emissions while growing more to feed themselves and earn extra incomes. Techniques such as conservation agriculture require less tilling of the land and thus keep more carbon trapped in the soil. Helping farmers access the most up-to-date knowledge and tools can prevent the need for further clearing of natural habitats for agriculture and keep forests and grasslands in tact as vital carbon sinks.
In fact, these AFOLU activities – Agriculture, Forestry, and Other sustainable Land Use – are some of the best ways for Africans to contribute to a global climate solution. Yet the current structure of carbon markets makes it difficult for African farmers to play their part
(."Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), also provided less industrialised countries an incentive to participate in global agreements and to access needed funds to introduce less harmful technologies into their economic development... CDM has registered more than 1,156 projects, yet only 27 of these projects are based in Africa

Political economy of agriculture pricing.Stanford University.


As stated by Zelaya, the recently deposed President of Honduras, the basic wage of a worker in that country is not enough to buy food for the family during a month ...

"...inflation could go higher based on the economy."
"The recession also slowed growth in developing countries, reducing the demand for meat and other food exports. That has increased the supply available in the United States, driving down the price."

"One reason we're not seeing prices go up so much right now is we had a massive recession that caused people to cut back,"
(Inside United States...)2010 food prices would increase between 2.5 percent and 3.5 percent, not near the records that were set in 2008 of 5.5 percent. The 10-year average for food-price inflation for 1997 to 2006 is about 2.5 percent,Corinne Alexander, an agricultural economist, Purdue UniversityAugust 27, 2009

Abstract In this article, I focus on the findings from this study on the political economy of agricultural policy as they inform questions about the political economy of agricultural pricing, primarily but not exclusively in developing countries. To do so, first I provide some background data on the comparative study. I sketch the various stylized facts that were believed at the time, and contrast them with the regularities that emerged from the comparative study. Finally, I indicate some of the systematic empirical regularities and suggest the political economy conclusions which emerge from them.

Food, inflation, price, economy crisis and climatic change in the caribbean.

A global assessment of the potential impact of climate change on world food supply suggests that doubling of the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration will lead to only a small decrease in global crop production. But developing countries are likely to bear the brunt of the problem, and simulations of the effect of adaptive measures by farmers imply that these will do little to reduce the disparity between developed and developing countries.(From "Potential impact of climate change on world food supply"

GENEVA, Sep 3 (IPS) - A group of 125 non-governmental organisations from 50 countries is calling on the governments participating in the mini-ministerial trade talks in India over the next two days to reject the further liberalisation of food and rather promote policies that will achieve food security and rural development and safeguard farmers’ livelihoods.The organisations, of which 13 are in Africa, argue in a letter to the 36 countries attending the mini-ministerial meeting that the World Trade Organisation’s (WTO) policies have resulted in "a failed global agricultural system including extremely volatile commodities markets, a lack of global access to nutritious and affordable food, an increase in hunger, and the erosion of farmers’ incomes. "These policies have culminated in the global food crisis we face today, where about 30,000 people die every day of poverty related causes, many due to malnutrition and hunger. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation) estimates that over one billion people are now going hungry, with about 150 million more people experiencing hunger as a result of the current food crisis," expound the organisations.

Editorial:
A main strategy on local policies on energy saving, agriculture and fisheries to lowering importation and not to pay unuseful or obsoleted technologist, in 2010, will decide the future of currency and credit in the international market of the developing countries of the Caribbean area facing to the increasingly economic crisis in United States and the dollar inflation in the midled of a climate change unpredictable. Analysts foresee an increase from 2.5 to 5.5% in global food prices but poor countries will pay much more...

To do otherwise is to fall into extreme poverty(1), incur more debt with a Foreign Powers and sell the national patrimony as happened to Menem's Argentina.
Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida, 34,233.

However, this outcome is achieved through production in the developed countries (which mostly benefit from climate change) compensating for declines projected, for the most part, for developing nations. While global production appears stable, regional differences in crop production are likely to grow stronger through time, leading to a significant polarisation of effects, with substantial increases in prices and risk of hunger amongst the poorer nations, especially under scenarios of greater inequality (A1FI and A2)."Effects of climate change on global food production under SRES emissions and socio-economic scenarios (From:References and further reading may be available for this article.

The UN World Food Program reported that unit food costs had risen by 50% in five years, with maize costs up 120% over the year to June 2007. The UN FAO estimated that the cost of imported food in 2008 was US$ 1.04 trillion, 26% up on 2007. A FAO / OECD report predicts food price increases of between 20% and 50% over the next ten years, due to reduced subsidies, greater demand for protein, higher production costs and the demand for biofuels. According to the UN FAO the price of dairy products rose 80% and grain 42% during 2007.

Cuba: the Caribbean country where youth do not want to be peasants.


We present here a story of "Juventud Rebelde youth newspaper in Havana, Cuba where it shows part of the psychology and behavior of a young Cuban farmer today and where it is evident that this young man is an exception because that youth in Cuba rejects entirely devoted to the work of food production as a farmer in the field even though Cuba lost billions of dollars in food imports that could easily occur.
What this report does not say, but had been cleared on prior one of the same kind to this newspaper, is the root of this mindset against the young farming in Cuba.
"I remember the early eighties, in talks with party leaders in a rural municipality in Cuba, as these were shocked because from Havana, from the national level of leadership of the country, came complaints because farmers had producing and selling nuts malanga and had half a million pesos in the National Bank of Cuba and had bought bikes for all children. Later, showered RESTRICTIONS on the sale of food to the Cuban population and began to step devaluation and the domestic economy became every day more slowly. Become a farmer because synonymous with enrichment in Cuban society and low ideological level.

Not only ideological and political factors.

If you are a doctor, musician, scientist, journalist or dancer you might have a high standard of living and travel frequently to a Foreign countries without anyone criticizing you, however, if a farmer achieves a high standard of living they look like someone who was enriched illegally and no foreign travel for Cuban farmers favored by the Cuban government, nor merit is given to a farmer from a particular farm or even in the same state as other professions.

To expose yourself if you are private farmer?


If a farmer wants to buy underwear, useful household, computers, electric bikes have to travel to Santiago de Cuba and Havana to buy in the shops in the state and / or dealing in black market. Young people prefer other professions, which are given even buying cars and the construction of homes, but are linked to these cities and business trips abroad.
The production is lost in many cases because the state is unable to collect and not allowed to freely distribute private vendors if this happens. When a farmer needs supplies, their money and credit have no access to any store in the state but highly specific sites controlled by the state bureaucracy. There are special shops- as that happens with some official bureaucracy of the government- where farmers can buy domestic equipment of any kind, nor are assigned cars and motorcycles and trips or vacations in tourist centers or tourism abroad with his family such as happens for some people in other sectors of the state. It is extremely rare for a private farmer or even state, you note for a trip or an official representation as with musicians, writers and painters or some of the Cuban government bureaucracy...

Excessive ideological approach to food production and the economy may lead to the island to a dead road end and is very risky for a small Caribbean countries amid climate change and global economic crisis.

During my recent ten days vacation in Santiago de Cuba I hear complaints from the population because the state enterprises could not collect and process or product all that was lost in fields and warehouses because they could not were sold directly to the public through the network of private service workers to the population by ideological and political motives misunderstood. Even, they make the mistake in the statewide network of services not to implement a pricing policy for products next to expire or have little demand as usual in a normal market. If, for example, there is much ice cream or fruit, not sold, they do not lower the price and then toss the product, worse happens in restaurants dedicated to tourism, where tourism is low empty because they never lower the price of food offered in order to the general population has access to them while there are not foreigners tourist, that way, thousands of tourism employees spend much of the year swatting flies or discussing the weather increasing the looses in this sector.I rememberd that chinesse restaurant supply from a privated farm in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, managed by two or more chinesse cuban families succes running bussines of different kinds, for example, the ofert where very cheaper and they non-stop during 24 hours a day in service to thousand of customer about less than fifty years ago, they never used nothing imported or sophisticated imported technologist, all were organic and traditional national products...the restaurants were close to a free food market where they run bussines too, them, they don't need any infraestructure of transportation, only animals traction at the farm and handlers tools to supply the restaurant- free market infraestructure lowering the spending of production and service.But this smart way stop for ideological reason not vinculated to a pragmatical vision of the domestic economy in a poor and little country."

BAYAMO .- In his small farm, named El Ingenito, most astounding: from large animals to their rivers of sweat that leaves every morning in the cornfield. That's why countless people are going to see how much magic does with the land.
Jorge Luis Milan Zaldivar account in four acres, with over 1 000 birds, 200 rabbits, 25 milking cows, pigs and goats, dozens of "race" ... And growing corn, avocado, sugarcane, king grass, cassava, sweet potato , pumpkins, vegetables, fruits and other crops.
When you hear him with such admiration about anyone could imagine tanning with age, wrinkled and calluses. However, little has 35 springs, while recognizing that from the 15 farms the land.
His first thought on alert just age-related dangers. "I know very few young farmers, most are elderly, many of the children of farmers do not want to pursue as well as their parents, and that breaks and destroys the countryside traditions. We must think seriously about the future, "he says at the door of his spacious house, situated in the district of El Horno, about 10 kilometers from the city of Bayamo.
The core products are milk-daily Ingenito are reached about 120 liters, which are distributed in two wineries and eggs, they also have a social purpose: are sold at 90 cents a box or are delivered to pregnant women, elderly and others with special diets.
This is already attractive, but what is most striking about this property associated with a gene pool preserve poultry are the many "creatures with feathers. "I have peacocks, turkeys and Canadian natives, pheasants and guinea fowl, black and white, and Creole cubalayas G semirrústicas, he says.
At one time he even had about 200 quail, a species that requires care chief. "The animal is very susceptible. If you do not experience stress out properly and stop laying. We must have stability in the schedule to give them food and water, and with the keeper, because any change affects them. I raise them again.
Because many copies of their performance with both Jorge Luis has become a permanent display in several provincial and national fairs, in which not only speaks of his birds but also other experiences related to their task in the field.
Notes that few times has had to mourn the death in their farms and is an eternal favor of plant medicines. "Use a lot of the strain of banana to deworm the animals in the water and aloe. The only drug I use is the Multivita.
Madrugador constantly waking each day like clockwork at 4:00, this farmer, who holds several awards from the ANAP, exposes the secrets of their success are commitment and patience.
"A race can not accomplish things you must know that it is necessary sacrifices to reap the rewards later. It is true that often do not have resources necessary to start, but you can not wait for you all fall from heaven. "
Jorge Luis is defined as a quiet young man, with the likes of any other, but work very much in love "which is what they need hundreds of boys, because they have spoiled or because they see the easy life.
His last words in the brief dialogue with JR, Resemble other judgments of respondents, but the sighs betray him unfeigned passion: "I will leave the farm the day I die. As long as it wishes to produce, anything or anyone stop me. "

Vietnamese Ambassador talks about Vietnam-US ties Đại sứ Việt nói về quan hệ Việt Nam-US

August 26, 2009 - VN/US relations

(VNA) The Vietnamese Ambassador to the US Le Cong Phung granted an exclusive interview to the Vietnam News Agency regarding former Lieutenant William Calley’s public apology on the mass killings in the Vietnamese community of My Lai during the war and the level of cooperation that both countries have had in addressing the consequences of the war.

The interview ran as follows:

Question:
The ambassador, can you comment on the first-time public apology to the victims and their families by former Lieutenant William Calley, the only US officer who was convicted in connection with the massacre of Vietnamese civilians in My Lai in 1968?

Answer: The My Lai massacre happened 41 years ago. It can be said that it is one of the most barbarous crimes the US committed to the Vietnamese people during the Vietnam War. We think that it awakened mankind and bolstered the anti-war movement which prompted the US to consider withdrawing its troops from Vietnam and accept defeat. In my opinion, Calley’s remarks, though late, is a good deed because he talked about his remorse and his apologies to the victims, their families and Vietnam . Also, it’s not only just his own feelings. It truly reflects the thoughts of his fellow soldiers who had involved in the massacre, and also the thoughts of a majority of Americans. Therefore, I think that although it’s rather late, it’s still very good. It is another move that will help American people with a conscience perceive more clearly their responsibilities to the crimes the US committed against the Vietnamese people. And now maybe they will take more responsibility and work with Vietnam to address the consequences left over by the war.

Q:
What is your evaluation of what the US has been doing together with Vietnam to address the consequences of the war?

A: Since the Vietnam war ended, the two countries have worked together a lot at multi-level forums on
