CONTRA EL PINGALISMO CASTRISTA/ "Se que no existe el consuelo que no existe la anhelada tierrra de mis suenos ni la desgarrada vision de nuestros heroes. Pero te seguimos buscando, patria,..." - Reinaldo Arenas

The policy today is arguably tighter than it was twenty years ago. Now you’ve got Helms-Burton, Clinton gave away executive prerogatives, and the embargo now has to be lifted and changed by Congress...We still have tens of millions of dollars publicly budgeted for regime change, [the US Office of Foreign Assets Control] is going around fining banks around the world for doing business in Cuba – Obama’s levied more fines than Bush did and is fining banks that do business with us…So, yes there’s travel down there, but the fundamentals haven’t changed.
Since the Cuban operations of big multinationals are relatively small, regulators won’t punish Americans who buy shares, says [Erich Ferrari, a sanctions compliance attorney]. A Treasury spokesman said that the department would only get concerned if the company’s primary business was with Cuba or if an American investor took a controlling interest in the company.
...I thought [investing in Sherritt International (TSX: S)] violated the spirit of the embargo and would have offended many people that were investors in our fund...Actually, the US Government is very strict and does enforce the violations. As part of our compliance procedures we have to check all investments to see if they are on the restricted list before purchase.
People paid nothing for this asset. [The Castro regime] just took it over…I think Sherritt ought to look at it and say how would they feel about it (if it happened to them)…Whatever happens here, people need to be thoughtful, because this is a deal where it may be [Sherritt's] oxen in the ditch at some point later on…

A aquel hombre le pidieron su tiempo
para que lo juntara al tiempo de la Historia.
Le pidieron las manos,
porque para una época difícil
nada hay mejor que un par de buenas manos.
Le pidieron los ojos
que alguna vez tuvieron lágrimas
para que contemplara el lado claro
(especialmente el lado claro de la vida)
porque para el horror basta un ojo de asombro.
Le pidieron sus labios
resecos y cuarteados para afirmar,
para erigir, con cada afirmación, un sueño
(el-alto-sueño);
le pidieron las piernas
duras y nudosas
(sus viejas piernas andariegas),
porque en tiempos difíciles
¿algo hay mejor que un par de piernas
para la construcción o la trinchera?
Le pidieron el bosque que lo nutrió de niño,
con su árbol obediente.
Le pidieron el pecho, el corazón, los hombros.
Le dijeron
que eso era estrictamente necesario.
Le explicaron después
que toda esta donación resultaria inútil.
sin entregar la lengua,
porque en tiempos difíciles
nada es tan útil para atajar el odio o la mentira.
Y finalmente le rogaron
que, por favor, echase a andar,
porque en tiempos difíciles
esta es, sin duda, la prueba decisiva.
“…después de todo, para mí la cárcel es un buen descanso, que sólo tiene de malo el que es obligatorio. Leo mucho y estudio mucho. Parece increíble, las horas pasan como si fuesen minutos y yo, que soy de temperamento intranquilo, me paso el día leyendo, apenas sin moverme para nada. La correspondencia llega normalmente…”
