El último día de Salvador Allende en la mirada de Fidel Castro
2008-06-25 18:56:00 El líder de la revolución cubana, Fidel Castro, revive, en un testimonio publicado en 1974, el último combate del presidente Salvador Allende antes de que fuera víctima del golpe fascista que acabó con su gobierno democrático e impuso la dictadura en Chile. En el texto, que forma parte del libro Grandes Alamedas: El combate del presidente Allende, de Jorge Timossi, Fidel realiza un emotivo relato de lo que fue el último día del primer presidente socialista de Chile. El líder cubano, quien fuera un cercano amigo de Allende, refleja, paso a paso, cómo el ex mandatario chileno vive la traición de los militares, pero al mismo tiempo luchan junto a él un grupo de civiles, carabineros y policías democráticos, quienes protegieron con su vida el heroico gesto de un presidente que prefirió su propia inmolación antes que rendirse y entregar a criminales el poder que el pueblo le dió por mandato soberano. A continuación el texto íntegro. Testimonio de Fidel Castro Nosotros nos vamos a refe...

Who Else is Against the Colombian Free Trade Agreement?
2008-04-11 04:35:00 Madam Speaker has plans to block the Colombian Free Trade Agreement: Defying the White House, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday the House will change its rules to avoid a required vote this year on a free-trade agreement with Colombia. Pelosi, D-Calif., said the change would remove the timetable that says Congress must take up trade bills within 90 legislative days after they are received from the White House. She intended to bring the rule proposal to the full House on Thursday. “The president took action” in submitting the deal Tuesday, she said. “I will take mine tomorrow.” The Colombia deal was a leading topic as President Bush and congressional leaders discussed the economy and other issues at the White House Wednesday afternoon. Pelosi, emerging from the meeting, said their message to the president was that the main concern must be the living standards of Americans and they could not consider the free trade pact “unless we address the econ...

Fidel Castro: La Historia No lo Absolvera
2008-03-18 01:10:00 El costo de la Revolución de FidelLos que hablan del progreso en educación y salud de la isla caribeña muchas veces ignoran o deciden no contarnos que para 1958 —antes de que Castro tomase el poder—Cuba ya era una de las naciones más avanzadas en Latinoamérica en ambos aspectos. No obstante, en otros aspectos económicos y sociales Cuba ha empeorado desde la revolución de 1959.Cuba era uno de los paÃses con la tasa de alfabetización más alta de Latinoamérica desde antes de que entrara Fidel en escena. Aunque es cierto entre 1953 y 2005 este indicador mejoró en un 31,3%, también es verdad que este progreso fue mayor en otros paÃses latinoamericanos como Paraguay (37,5%), Colombia (49,6%), Brasil (80,8%), El Salvador (91,9%), República Dominicana (102,3%) y Ecuador (62,5%).3youtube cheese personal jesus life baby back

La designación, por parte de los 614 diputados electos en las elecciones del 20 de enero pasado, entre ellos los hermanos Raúl y Fidel Castro, se realizará mediante votación secreta. La prensa fue citada para presenciar el inicio de la reunión de la nueva Asamblea Popular del Poder Popular (Parlamento), en medio de una creciente expectativa de la población ante la posibilidad de que se anuncien cambios, en especial referidos al fin de algunas prohibiciones consideradas obsoletas, según informa la agencia Ansa.

Reflections by President Fidel Castro: The Republican Candidate - (Part Fiv
2008-02-24 14:22:00 THE articles introduced in yesterday’s reflection, on February 14, were written in the last two or three days. More than two weeks ago, on January 27, 2008, the digital publication Tom Dispatch reproduced an article translated for Rebelión by Germán Leyens: "Why the Debt Crisis is Now the Greatest Threat to the American Republic," by Chalmers Johnson. This American author has not been awarded the Nobel Prize, as has Joseph Stiglitz, the famous and well-known economist and writer, or even Milton Friedman himself, who inspired neoliberalism and led many countries down that disastrous path, including the United States. Friedman was the most intensive advocate of economic liberalism opposed to any government regulations. His ideas nurtured Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. An active member of the Republican Party, he advised Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Augusto Pinochet, that man with a sinister story. He died in November of 2006 at the age of 94. He wrote numerous works, a...
Reflections of President Fidel Castro: The Republican Candidate - (Part Fou
2008-02-23 13:56:00 When in the previous reflection I asked McCain what he thought of the Five antiterrorist Cuban Heroes, I did so because I remembered what he had published on page 206 of his book Faith of My Fathers, co-written with his assistant Mark Salter: “It’s an awful thing, solitary. It crushes your spirit and weakens your resistance more effectively than any other form of mistreatment. Having no one else to rely on, to share confidences with, to seek counsel from, you begin to doubt your judgment and your courage. But you eventually adjust to solitary, as you can to almost any hardship, by devising various methods to keep your mind off your troubles and greedily grasping any opportunity for human contact.†“When in 1970 my period of solitary confinement was finally ended, I was overwhelmed by the compulsion to talk nonstop..." If this is a subject of interest to you, in the United States today there are five Cuban prisoners, separated one from the other by thousands of miles. ...

Reflections of President Fidel Castro: The Republican Candidate - (Part Thr
2008-02-22 23:18:00 YESTERDAY, I said that while Bush was speaking to Congress, McCain was being honored at the Versailles Restaurant of Little Havana. It was there that most of the fiercest enemies of the Cuban Revolution and their families took up residence, Batista’s followers, the big landowners, owners of apartment buildings and millionaires who tyrannized and plundered our people. The United States government has used them at will, to organize invaders and terrorists who have shed our people’s blood through almost 50 years. Later, illegal emigrants joined that stream, along with the Cuban Adjustment Act and the brutal blockade imposed on the people of Cuba. It is incredible that, in this day and age, the Republican candidate, honored as a hero, is turned into an instrument of that Mafia. Nobody having an ounce of self-esteem would commit such a serious lapse in ethics. Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario and Lincoln DÃaz-Balart, Senator Mel MartÃnez, also of Cuban descent, Governo...

Fidel Castro: una leccion de madurez política
2008-02-21 21:27:00 Sin alterar su habitual tranquilidad, los cubanos viven hoy una situación excepcional en los últimos 49 años, al conocer el anuncio del presidente Fidel Castro de no aspirar ni aceptar su reelección como jefe de Estado y Comandante en Jefe. Si bien la voluntad del mandatario se honrará el próximo 24 de febrero, cuando la Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular habilitará su nueva legislatura y será conformado el Consejo de Estado, el pronunciamiento ya es valorado aquí como una aleccionadora muestra de madurez política. La continuidad de la Revolución, la confianza en el relevo generacional, y la unidad en torno a la defensa del socialismo, fueron aspectos abordados por el líder revolucionario en su mensaje al pueblo de Cuba. "Afortunadamente -indicó en el texto- nuestro proceso cuenta todavía con cuadros de la vieja guardia, junto a otros que eran muy jóvenes cuando se inició la primera etapa de la Revolución. (?) Cuentan con la autoridad y la experiencia para garantizar el reemplazo".

Reflections of President Fidel Castro: The Republican Candidate - (Part Tw
2008-02-21 18:46:00 ONE of the most hostile U.S. newspapers when it comes to Cuba, headquartered in Florida, offers the following report: “Taking advantage of the negotiations to free the Bay of Pigs’ prisoners, the CIA tried to use a key person in the talks, American lawyer James B. Donovan, to deliver a lethal gift to Fidel Castro: a wetsuit contaminated with a fungus that lacerates the skin and an underwater breathing device infected with tuberculosis...the gear in fact was given to the Cuban leader in November 1962. “The revelation is one of many anecdotes in After the Bay of Pigs, a book on the negotiations held between the Committee of Relatives for the Liberation of Prisoners and Havana from April to December 1962. “The 238-page book, published late last year, was written by Cuban exile Pablo Pérez-Cisneros with businessman John B.

Reflections of President Fidel Castro: The Republican Candidate
2008-02-21 06:43:00 (Part One) THESE reflections are self-explanatory. On the now well-known Super Tuesday, a day of the week when many U.S. states selected the candidate of their choice from among a pool of aspirants to the presidency of the United States, one of the possible candidates to substitute George W. Bush was John McCain. Because of his pre-designed image as a hero and his alliance with strong contenders like the former mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, other hopefuls had already gladly given their support. The heavy propaganda of weighty social, economic and political factors in his country and his style of conduct had made him the candidate with the best possibilities. Only the Republican extreme right, represented by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, dissatisfied with certain insignificant concessions made by McCain, were still putting up resistance to him on February 5. Afterward, Romney also abandoned his candidacy, ceding to McCain’s. Huckabee is still a candidate. The struggle for ...

Un hombre, un siglo (sobre la renuncia de Fidel Castro)
2008-02-20 11:44:00 Como referimos en otras oportunidades, el historiador Eric Hosbawn ha llamado al siflo XX el siglo "corto".Dice el historiador inglés que en verdad empezó con la Primera Guerra Mundial o con la Recolución Rusa, según como se lo mire, en 1914 o 1917, y que concluyó con la caída del Muro de Berlín o de URSS en 1989-1991.Fue el siglo dominado por las contradicciones entre capitalismo y socialismo.Dice Immanuel Wallerstein que desde 1968 en adelante, cunde la el "desencanto" con los paradigmas del cambio social vigente hasta entonces.Con Fidel y su renuncia parece cerrarse un ciclo. Un ciclo que cierra un protagonista del siglo XX que lo prolongó en su isla hasta entrado el siglo XXI alargando el "siglo corto" y un hijo del desencanto con las formas tradicionales de acceso al poder para "construir el socialismo".Fidel es un protagonista del siglo XX y de eso no hay duda.Lo es porque ha significado una pieza fundamental en la lucha entre capitalismo y comunismo, nada menos que a 150 km d...

The end of Castro's rule ? the longest in the world for a head of government ? frees his 76-year-old brother Raul to implement reforms he has hinted at since taking over as acting president when Fidel Castro fell ill in July 2006.

Cuba: Message from the Commander in Chief - Fidel Castro Ruz
2008-02-20 04:51:00 Message from the Commander in Chief: Dear compatriots: Last Friday, February 15, I promised you that in my next reflection I would deal with an issue of interest to many compatriots. Thus, this now is rather a message. The moment has come to nominate and elect the State Council, its President, its Vice-Presidents and Secretary. For many years I have occupied the honorable position of President. On February 15, 1976 the Socialist Constitution was approved with the free, direct and secret vote of over 95% of the people with the right to cast a vote. The first National Assembly was established on December 2nd that same year; this elected the State Council and its presidency. Before that, I had been a Prime Minister for almost 18 years. I always had the necessary prerogatives to carry forward the revolutionary work with the support of the overwhelming majority of the people. There were those overseas who, aware of my critical health condition, thought that my provisional resignat...

She had a couple more gos at him before handing down the Machiavellian charmer to Diane Sawyer. I understand how Babs could've fallen for the swarthy hirsute hunk noted for his catting around setting off a domestic Cuban missile crisis with the missus. Or how Diane Sawyer was swayed by Fidel's commie charms. My unrequited crush is still on the former Soviet Union prez Mikhail Gorbachev.

Imagine for a moment what could have been Castro's first speech: Companeros, I stand here in front of the countrymen I love to proclaim that I come to liberate Cuba from Batista, not take his place. I trust the great people of Cuba will make this land one of freedom and prosperity. Elections will be held next Tuesday. But noooooo.
