Abel Prieto, Yohandry y yo sobre "Palabras a los Intelectuales"
En días recientes envié un cuestionario al ministro de Cultura Abel Prieto, con motivo del aniversario 50 de Palabras a los intelectuales. Hace apenas minutos recibí sus valiosas consideraciones, que de manera textual, y sin cambiar ni una coma, comparto con ustedes:
---------------------------------
las celebraciones por el cincuentenario son pura egolatria y autosuficiencia intelectualoide y que vaya como titulo, "SOYA" [nickname de yohandry] por favor.
la mini respuesta de abel prieto y hasta quizas la entrevista que el SOYA le hace y que el primero no responde, ocupado como esta en no dar "elementos" para que lo pongan a vender cuadros como es vocacion de los siquitrillados de "nivel", como si la satrapia los requiriera en las visperas de su desaparicion definitiva, integrara sin dudas parte del prologo de la ignominia denominada "palabras a los intelectuales".
injustucia historica que se comete con fidel, pues las verdaderamente pioneras "palabras" de fidel se remontan a su reunion en la academia de ciencias de cuba el 15 de enero de 1960 y que preceden por ano y medio a las que ahora celebran. en aquella ocasion el susodicho expreso:
“Cuba necesita mucho de los hombres de pensamiento, sobre todo de los hombres de pensamiento claro, no solo hombres que hayan acumulado conocimientos; hombres que pongan sus conocimientos del lado del bien, del lado de la justicia, del lado de la patria, porque vivimos en estos momentos en que el papel del pensamiento es excepcional, porque solo el pensamiento puede guiar a los pueblos en los instantes de grandes transformaciones y en los momentos en que se emprenden grandes empresas como esta que está llevando adelante nuestro pueblo.
Y entre los hombres de pensamiento hay que librar la batalla, entre los hombres de pensamiento hay que formar la legión que brinde los recursos de su inteligencia a la Revolución en esta hora, porque hombres hay que han acumulado pensamientos, pero no los emplean sino en beneficio de sus propios intereses, no los emplean sino egoístamente, y necesitamos hombres de pensamiento que lo empleen en bien de los demás. Y si en definitiva han tenido el privilegio, por la naturaleza o por las circunstancias, que les permitieron adquirir luces que les sirvan para comprender mejor nuestros problemas, para ver más claras las cosas; porque he aprendido bien que los problemas de nuestro país son tan evidentes, que el que no los entiende es porque no quiere, el que no los ve, es porque no los quiere ver. Y aquí realmente no hay equivocados; entre los hombres de pensamiento no hay equivocados; equivocados pueden haber entre los analfabetos, que sin embargo están viendo más que nunca; equivocados podrían haber entre los que no tuvieron oportunidad de ir a la escuela, pero hoy, cuando hasta el guajiro que no sabe leer ni escribir conoce los problemas de la Revolución, sabe cuáles son sus intereses y sabe de qué lado se debe situar, en instantes como estos, el hombre de pensamiento que se sitúe contra la Revolución no es un equivocado, sino un enemigo consciente de la justicia, un enemigo consciente de los intereses de su pueblo, un enemigo consciente de su patria, porque no puede haber equivocados”.
Y continuaba con su abierta amenaza: “Los hombres que han adquirido un grado determinado de cultura comprenden los problemas políticos, económicos y sociales de nuestro pueblo y si se sitúan contra la Revolución, no lo hacen por error, sino porque puestos en la disyuntiva de ponerse junto al pueblo o junto a intereses y minorías privilegiadas; puestos en la disyuntiva de ponerse junto al pueblo, a los intereses del pueblo, o junto a los intereses personales, egoístamente escogen el camino de sus intereses o el camino de los intereses de minorías privilegiadas”.
Y en aquel solemne salón donde se reunían muchas de las mas preclaras inteligencias del pensamiento científico cubano de la época, el fantasma del terror sobrecogió una a una todas las almas de los convocados. La versión oficial del discurso se encuentra disponible en http://www.cuba.cu/gobierno/discursos/1960/esp/f150160e.html [Discurso pronunciado en el Acto Celebrado por la Sociedad Espeleológica de Cuba, en la Academia de Ciencias, el 15 de enero de 1960.

Mosquing of the Public Schools in Toronto. No infidels allowed.
Islamic ritual prayers are conducted in a Toronto public middle school every Friday in the school cafeteria.” Non-Muslims are forbidden from entering the cafeteria during that time.
Some imams (Islamic preachers) come from the outside of the school and lead Muslim students in the Islamic prayer and this happens at the school Cafeteria after the lunch on Fridays. All other non-Muslims are in classes in the afternoon when they are using the cafeteria as mosque. There is a mosque nearby but the Muslim kids pray in the school
“Mark, my other two kids also go to a different public primary school and the snack for all the kids in this primary school is all “Halal”. My wife complained about it and she was told she can prepare her own snack for our kids but the school would not drop the Halal menu for all the students. All the school kids in this primary school have to eat halal snacks whether they are Muslim or not”Mosquing of the Public Schools in Toronto. No infidels allowed.

This Is What Obama Said To Wall Street Donors At The $35,800 Per Head Dinner In New York
Last week Obama headed to the Upper East Side to wine and dine Wall Street.
The DNC fundraiser at tony restaurant Daniel cost attendees $35,800 each, and the event netted $2.4 million.
Obama talked to his audience, which included hedge funder Marc Lasry and the CEO of UBS Americas Robert Wolf, about topics ranging from the economy to the 2012 race to Afghanistan.
According to Businessweek,
The guests dined on Maine lobster salad with roasted beets, duos of Black Angus beef, braised short ribs with young spinach, and roasted tenderloin with stuffed potato and hen of the woods. Daniel is the eponymous restaurant of award winning restaurateur Daniel Boulud. The meal was prepared by Boulud himself.
The dinner was part of Obama's plan to win back the group of financiers that helped him cruise past McCain in 2008, many of whom were turned off by the President's labeling of them as "fat cats" near the beginning of his term.

Canada economy lacks of productivity and S&T
By Paul Wells

“At a time when Canada’s overall productivity gains are below those of other trading nations with whom we compete, the need to encourage greater private-sector S&T investment is a national priority.”
“From 2006 to 2009…Canadian business expenditure on R&D declined in inflation-adjusted terms.”

Obama seeking "partners" for 2012 campaign - only big money need apply
AMERICAblog
Again, Wall Street showered him with campaign contributions in 2008 and he's been having private fund raising dinners with the CEOs of Wall Street this year. His campaign and staff can say what they like about that, but you would have to be a fool to miss the connection between the meek financial reform that the White House promoted and his campaign contributions. Also, let's think for a moment about the extension of tax breaks for the wealthy. If you are not part of the deep pocket crowd, you're really not very important to this administration, but I'd like to be proven wrong. Bloomberg:Donors who pledge $75,800 to the Obama Victory Fund will be named “Presidential Partners” and will be invited to quarterly campaign briefings that are sometimes attended by the president, said a Democratic official who wasn’t authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The program secures two years’ worth of a supporter’s allowable donations. Presidential Partners contribute $5,000 to the Obama campaign, $61,600 to the Democratic committee and an additional $9,200 to a committee that the campaign and the national committee use in statewide races.
The big-money fundraising program is the latest weapon in a campaign-financing arms race. It was reported by the Los Angeles Times. The 2012 election may dwarf previous races with the campaigns, party committees and independent political groups projected to raise and spend a combined $2 billion before Election Day.

Bodyshock - Age 8 and Wanting a Sex Change
As experts consider a review of UK guidelines for treating transgender children, this film follows a number of children in the US who told their parents they were born in the wrong body.
In America, children under 16 can be prescribed hormone 'blockers' to prevent the onset of puberty, with a view to then follow with hormone treatment to become their new gender. This film follows the American experience.
These children and their parents reveal what it is like to face life-changing questions, giving a frank insight into a subject most people never have to consider.

Economic tsunami alert for Americans
That's the message of the June issue of Whistleblower, "BE PREPARED: An economic tsunami alert for Americans."

Of course, for millions of Americans who have already lost their jobs, businesses, homes or savings, chaos is already their reality. And while politicians claim "recovery is just around the corner," hundreds of trillions of dollars in public debt (including future obligations) and mountains of printing-press money to pay all those otherwise unpayable obligations cannot have a happy ending.
Thus, everyone who has worked hard, obeyed the law, sacrificed, saved and invested so they could be secure in their old age is in real danger of being wiped out – or at least of losing a major portion of what they own. Inflation, the intentional policy of America's current political and financial ruling class, literally means the government is stealing your wealth – your substance – just as though it inserted a vacuum hose into your bank account and slowly sucked out the money every night when no one was watching.
Already, food, gasoline and other commodities are rising dramatically in price. Or, looking at it from the other end of the equation, the U.S. dollar is constantly diminishing in value – not just in relation to other nations' currencies, but in terms of real purchasing power here at home.
"We need to wake up and realize that to protect ourselves, our communities and our country, we have to take action," said WND Managing Editor David Kupelian. "If a tsunami alert sounded, you would move to higher ground. Consider this issue of Whistleblower a tsunami alert – along with some advice on finding that higher ground."

Delta Air Lines case: Shut down! Question about discrimination
In the daily news briefing today, Carney allowed CBS to ask seven questions, CNN six, ABC five and four each from AP, Fox and Bloomberg, but allowed none from 31 of the 50 reporters there, including Les Kinsolving, WND's correspondent and the reporter ranking second on the seniority list on the beat.
Kinsolving had planned to ask:
1. Why does the president believe that Saudi Arabian Airline planes should be allowed to land in the U.S. since that airline bans passengers Jews.
2. What is the president prepared to do to halt this Saudi Arabian anti-Semitism at New York and Washington airports?

Obama's Afghanistan Plan and the Realities of Withdrawal
By Nathan Hughes
U.S. President Barack Obama announced June 22 that the long process of drawing down forces in Afghanistan would begin on schedule in July. Though the
initial phase of the drawdown appears limited, minimizing the tactical and operational impact on the ground in the immediate future, the United States and its allies are now beginning the inevitable process of removing their forces from Afghanistan. This will entail the risk of greater Taliban battlefield successes.The Logistical Challenge
Afghanistan, a landlocked country in the heart of Central Asia, is one of the most isolated places on Earth. This isolation has posed huge logistical challenges for the United States. Hundreds of shipping containers and fuel trucks must enter the country every day from Pakistan and from the north to sustain the nearly 150,000 U.S. and allied forces stationed in Afghanistan, about half the total number of Afghan security forces. Supplying a single gallon of gasoline in Afghanistan reportedly costs the U.S. military an average of $400, while sustaining a single U.S. soldier runs around $1 million a year (by contrast, sustaining an Afghan soldier costs about $12,000 a year).These forces appear considerably lighter than those in Iraq because Afghanistan’s rough terrain often demands dismounted foot patrols. Heavy main battle tanks and self-propelled howitzers are thus few and far between, though not entirely absent. Afghanistan even required a new, lighter and more agile version of the hulking mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicle known as the M-ATV (for “all-terrain vehicle”).
Based solely on the activity on the ground in Afghanistan today, one would think the United States and its allies were preparing for a permanent presence, not the imminent beginning of a long-scheduled drawdown (a perception the United States and its allies have in some cases used to their advantage to reach political arrangements with locals). A 3,500-meter (11,500-foot) all-weather concrete and asphalt runway and an air traffic control tower were completed this February at Camp Leatherneck and Camp Bastion in Helmand province. Another more than 2,700-meter runway was finished at Shindand Air Field in Herat province last December.
Meanwhile, a so-called iron mountain of spare parts needed to maintain vehicles and aircraft, construction and engineering equipment, generators, ammunition and other supplies — even innumerable pallets of bottled water — has slowly been built up to sustain day-to-day military operations. There are fewer troops in Afghanistan than the nearly 170,000 in Iraq at the peak of operations and considerably lighter tonnage in terms of armored vehicles. But short of a hasty and rapid withdrawal reminiscent of the chaotic American exit from Saigon in 1975 (which no one currently foresees in Afghanistan), the logistical challenge of withdrawing from Afghanistan — at whatever pace — is perhaps even more daunting than the drawdown in Iraq. The complexity of having nearly 50 allies with troops in country will complicate this process.
