Nerviosismo en el Palacio de la Revolución

Después de más de medio siglo denunciando al “imperialismo”, los jerarcas del régimen y sus amanuenses ahora están perdidos en su propia retórica, que nunca fue demasiado creativa ni original, y no saben exactamente cómo hablar ni qué decir.
Tras mentir por cincuenta y cinco años es difícil mantener el lenguaje de siempre cuando “el enemigo” hace pública su intención de no serlo —nunca lo fue realmente— y se muestra dispuesto a mejores relaciones con un adversario que está en una situación económica desesperada y sin perspectivas inmediatas de mejoría.
Por eso el oficialismo en La Habana y toda Cuba balbucea, se enreda, y pretende inventar historias que no son ni pueden ser. El desconciero es evidente, aunque quieran disimular y recurran a lenguaje de guapo de barrio para que no se note el susto. Ante las exageradas expectativas de la población cubana por los anuncios de Obama, no dicen que el imperio pretende invadir Cuba para revertir las “conquistas” de la revolución, sino que EEUU viste nuevos ropajes para lograr los objetivos de siempre, ahora de manera más elegante y sofisticada. Una especie de asesino de lujo, “killer” profesional de traje, corbata y guantes, y que no deja huellas.
A falta de teóricos nacionales creíbles, o de ideólogos con dos dedos de frente, o extranjeros que lo harían encantados si supieran cómo y no estuvieran buceando en las venas abiertas de América Latina, el régimen ha recurrido, en sus órganos de prensa-propaganda, a la ayuda de personas preparadas que momentáneamente les saquen las castañas del fuego: un doctor en Historia en un periódico, y en otro el presidente de la Unión de Escritores y Artistas de Cuba, que más comprometido con el régimen no puede estar.
Sin embargo, esos dos señores, con lenguaje culto, tratan de dorar la píldora y hacer más atractivo el purgante, pero no resultan ni sustrato teórico ni inspiración para un discurso de burócrata inútil como el de Machado Ventura, o como el de Marino Murillo, “zar” de pacotilla de la economía. Mucho menos el de Alejandro Castro Espín con su ridícula entrevista en Grecia, donde dijo, entre otras linduras, que la economía de EEUU está en decadencia, haciendo parecer inteligente a su hermana Mariela por comparación. Los personeros del régimen y los que aspiran a serlo, o hablan tonterías, como “Alejandrito” en la Acrópolis, o callan, esperando “orientaciones” de arriba, que no bajan porque allá no saben qué decir: el nerviosismo es evidente, y el temor paraliza cuando se convierte en pánico.
De seguro que la nueva generación de esbirros digitales que se mueven ahora por estas páginas de CUBAENCUENTRO con bastante energía (¿doble jabita mensual?) después de la desaparición de otros bastante torpes y dogmáticos —aunque los actuales no lo son menos— pretenderán posar de intelectuales de café con leche y desacreditar —a falta de capacidad para discutir conceptos— a quienes escribimos, acusándonos de agentes del imperio o asalariados de cualquier institución americana. Y dirán que los nerviosos somos nosotros: una vez más, utilizan vetusto lenguaje de guerra fría intentando asesinar reputaciones.
En su lúgubre mentalidad de hombres nuevos que no ven más allá de sus narices y mucho menos piensan con cabeza propia, consideran que todas las personas libres tenemos que trabajar para un gobierno y hacer lo que nos manden, y que no somos capaces de escribir y polemizar por convicción y no por un puñado de dólares. No entienden que la nuestra sí es una verdadera batalla de ideas, no la farsa con ese nombre inventada por quien tú sabes. Es una pena que no aparezcan contrincantes de talento y antagonistas verdaderos, sino “cuadritos” de la UCI, que por desodorante, jabón, pasta de dientes y una botella de aceite, continúan hablando sandeces y vendiendo su alma al diablo. Así que dejemos que los perros sigan ladrándole a la luna.
Hace unos días se cumplieron 53 años de la Segunda Declaración de La Habana, uno de los textos más delirantes de Fidel Castro y Ernesto Guevara. El régimen no tuvo interés en destacarlo. Después de todo, ya el deber del revolucionario no es hacer la revolución, sino buscar “fulas”, y nadie se sienta en la puerta de su casa a ver pasar el cadáver del imperialismo, cuando antes vio pasar el del comunismo mientras los hasta entonces pueblos esclavizados celebraban jubilosamente esa muerte tan ansiada.
Sin embargo, el inmovilismo en La Habana —y en ciertos sectores de Miami— no puede ser eterno, pues mientras se debaten entre dudas y miedos, el mundo no se detiene: las medidas de EEUU hacia la “normalización” siguen presionando al régimen. Muchas empresas americanas, no interesadas por derechos humanos ni democracia, se postran abiertamente ante el dios Mercado y las posibilidades de ganar dinero negociando con Cuba, y cada vez queda menos tiempo para aceptar lo evidente y no ser sobrepasado por la historia.
El nerviosismo y el pánico nunca ayudan a pensar de manera clara y objetiva. Las pasiones exiliares cubanas dijeron desde el primer momento, y siguen repitiendo hoy, que Obama se rindió ante el régimen ofreciendo todo a cambio de nada. Sin embargo, casi dos meses después de los anuncios de diciembre 17, el desconcierto y nerviosismo son mucho más evidentes en La Habana que en Washington.
Mucho más que dólares y turistas de EEUU, lo que más urgentemente parece necesitar la dictadura cubana en estos momentos es tilo y meprobamato para el nerviosismo.

Letter from Ernest Hemingway’s widow could solve Cuban farmhouse mystery

The mystery of whether Ernest Hemingway’s widow volunteered or was coerced into leaving their Cuban house to the nation has come a step closer to being solved, with the discovery of a letter in which she states that her late husband “would be pleased” that Finca Vigía be “given to the people of Cuba … as a centre for opportunities for wider education and research”.
Hemingway lived on the 19th-century Cuban farm for 21 years, between 1939 and 1961, writing his masterpieces The Old Man and the Sea and For Whom the Bell Tolls there as well as posthumously published works including A Moveable Feast and Islands in the Stream. He committed suicide in Idaho in 1961. The property became a museum in 1962, but it has been unclear whether this was following the wishes of Mary Hemingway, his fourth wife, or at the insistence of the Cuban government, with differing accounts from different parties.
The newly discovered letter, dated 25 August 1961, sees Mary Hemingway specifically donate the Finca Vigía to the Cuban people. “…Whereas – my husband, Ernest Hemingway, was for twenty-five years a friend of the Pueblo of Cuba … he never took part in the politics of Cuba … he never sold any possessions of his, except his words, having given away cars, guns, books and his Nobel prize medal to the Virgen del Cobre,” she wrote to her husband’s friend Roberto Herrera.
“I believe that he would be pleased that his property … in Cuba be given to the people of Cuba … as a center for opportunities for wider education and research, to be maintained in his memory. With this document, as the only heir of Ernest’s estate, I hereby give to the people of Cuba this property, in the hope that they will learn and profit from, and enjoy it, as much as Ernest and I did.”

Sold this week via Alexander Historical Auctions, the letter was found among the papers of Herrera. “Ernest Hemingway had committed suicide in Ketchum less than two months earlier. However, at some point shortly thereafter, Mary backtracked and stated that after Hemingway’s suicide, the Cuban government contacted her in Idaho and announced that it intended to expropriate the house, along with all real property in Cuba. These documents show that Mary did indeed intend to donate the home to the Cuban people,” said the auction house in its catalogue. The handwritten note was snapped up on Wednesday for $1,100 (£716), a price well below the estimate of $2,000-$3,000.
Valerie Hemingway – who was Ernest’s secretary before marrying his youngest son, whom she met at the author’s funeral – went to Finca Vigía with Mary shortly after Hemingway’s death to sort through his papers. She said via email that “what is being auctioned is a draft of a memo Mary intended to give to [Fidel] Castro that Roberto Herrera was going to translate. As far as I can remember Mary never actually sent the memo; she gave the draft to Roberto afterwards.”
Her own memoir, Running with the Bulls: My Years with the Hemingways, sees Valerie write that Mary “genuinely wanted to see her husband’s memory endure by creating a shrine of the home he loved and dedicating it to the Cuban people, among whom he had lived for more than a third of his life … Mary’s first idea was that the finca would become a learning centre, and to that end she wanted to leave there as complete a record of her husband’s life and most especially of his work as was prudent.”
But Naomi Wood, author of the novel Mrs Hemingway, said that Mary Hemingway’s own memoir suggests the situation was not quite as straightforward. “The question is whether the Hemingway house was ‘donated’ by Mary, or coerced from her, or extracted from her via diplomacy. In all likelihood it was a mixture of all three,” she said.

“In her memoir, How It Was, she uses the words ‘acquisition’ and ‘appropriation’, which suggests the takeover of Hemingway’s property was done with some unwillingness on her part, rather than a donation as the auctioned letter suggests. Though the auctioned letter suggests a donation, her memoir suggests bullying, though Castro does it in the most gentlemanly fashion, even asking her: ‘Why don’t you stay here with us in Cuba?’”
Mary Hemingway recounts a telephone conversation from the time in How it Was, in which she says to a Cuban official that “I’m not sure if I wish to give you our finca. [They could appropriate it, of course, as they had done to so much US property there.] Perhaps your government would give me permission to go down to remove our personal papers. Would you find out and call me back tomorrow? This same hour? Muy bien.”
She was advised, she writes, “to take the chance of recovering Ernest’s manuscripts, if nothing more. By this time United States citizens were prohibited journeys to Cuba, but the US immigration authorities in Miami gave me the exit and re-entry permits.”
The author’s widow would bring back crates of papers on a shrimp boat travelling from Havana to Tampa. “Mary also recounts her negotiations with Castro to remove a few paintings back to the US: including a Paul Klee and Juan Gris,” said Wood. “She also manages to remove Hemingway’s wax-sealed manuscripts they’d found at the Banco Nacional. Mary’s cargo left on a shrimp boat back to Tampa, which was the last to have any clearance papers from the US. More importantly for scholars than the nature of the deal for the Finca Vigía donation or appropriation was the fact that she managed to get those manuscripts out.”
Dr Susan Beegel, editor emerita of The Hemingway Review, said the discovery of the letter – first covered in Fine Books & Collections – was “new and interesting”.
“It’s nice to see her thoughts on how she intended the people of Cuba to enjoy the museum – still thriving today,” said Beegal. “It’s well-known that Mary deeded the Finca Vigía to the people of Cuba. After the Castro revolution, the house could have been appropriated, as was the case with other US property in Cuba, but instead the Cuban government approached Mary to request the house as a gift, to be used as a monument to Hemingway. She negotiated with them (and the Kennedy administration as well, because US citizens were not allowed to visit Cuba) to be able to return and remove personal belongings, art, and Hemingway’s manuscripts from the house in exchange for the donation.”

Analyzing Obama’s Cuba Policy

By Elliott Abrams of The Council on Foreign Relations:

Analyzing Obama’s Cuba Policy

The shortcomings of the new Obama administration policy toward Cuba have been sharply described in a recent blog post at the Cuban civil society web site Estado de SATS, by Antonio G. Rodiles. Rodiles, a human rights activist, was beaten and arrested in 2012, and released after Amnesty International and other groups protested this arrest.

What does Rodiles say?

First, the Obama approach grants treats the Castro regime as the legitimate government of Cuba. But it has never been elected, and should not be granted that legitimacy.

Second, the Obama approach grants that Cuba’s future and its “transition to democracy” will be in the hands of the current regime and its top officials. No political preconditions have been put in place before the United States moves forward toward diplomatic relations, removing the embargo, and taking other steps that aid the regime. The assumption seems to be that today’s powers that be –the Castros and their closest collaborators–will remain tomorrow, but that is a formula for continuing authoritarianism.

Third, the Obama approach treats democratic development and respect for human rights as the eventual product of supposed economic transformations in Cuba. But freedom should be the prime goal, not a hypothetical by-product of economic change.

Finally, Rodiles notes that this Obama approach will of course favor those Cubans who go along, as against those who seek a quicker move toward liberty and view the regime as brutally repressive and illegitimate. This too helps the Castro regime. Instead, the goal should be to open sufficient space for political actors and civil society to have the main say in the direction of change in Cuba.

Cuban dissidents, democracy activists, and human rights activists have many opinions about U.S. policy, all the products of a living under the Castro regime where they face and often experience brutality and prison. It’s unfortunate in the extreme that those views appear to have no role in the formulation of American policy toward Cuba.

State Department Official Clearly Unprepared to Lead Cuba Talks

Last week, three hearing were held in the U.S. Congress analyzing President Obama's December 17th announcement to normalize relations with Cuba, which stemmed from 18-months of secret negotiations and a lopsided deal with dictator Raul Castro.

The main witness at the hearings was the State Department's top diplomat for Cuba, Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere, Roberta Jacobson.

(The White House did not authorize the two National Security Council officials who undertook the secret negotiations to testify.)

The main takeaway from the hearings was that Jacobson is clearly unprepared to execute normalization talks with Cuba's dictatorship.

The hearings demonstrated that:

1. Jacobson lacks credibility. The most impacting moment of the hearings was U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's (R-FL) exchange with Jacobson in the House Foreign Affairs Committee, whereby it was demonstrated how the State Department lied to the families of three murdered Americans. The State Department had previously told the families (and Congress) that a Cuban spy, who was serving a life sentence for murder conspiracy in the death of three Americans, would not be swapped in a hostage deal with the Castro regime. Yet, that's exactly what the Administration did, despite poor efforts to wordsmith around it.

Thus, how can the American people, let alone the victims of Castro's regime, believe any further commitments made by these incredulous U.S. officials?

Click here to watch the exchange.

2. Jacobson is unaware of Cuba's realities. During the Senate hearing, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) described -- in detail -- how the Cuban military's business conglomerates own the island's tourism and travel-related service industry. Moreover, how this sector is under the direct control of the Castro family, through Raul's son-in-law, General Luis Alberto Rodriguez Lopez-Callejas. Jacobson was unaware of this important fact. Yet, she still argued that the Cuban people would benefit from increased American travel more than the Castro regime.

How can we trust that the Obama Administration's policy will not disproportionately benefit the Castro regime, when top U.S. officials are shockingly unaware of the Cuban military's control over the economy?

Click here to watch the exchange.

3. Jacobson is unaware of U.S. policy. In another stunning exchange with Rep. Ros-Lehtinen, Jacobson was asked if she can name the conditions for lifting sanctions under the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act ("Libertad Act"). She could not. Perhaps the Administration is more interested in Congress changing the law, than implementing it -- but that is not going to happen any time soon. Thus, it's Jacobson's constitutional responsibility to execute the laws of the United States.

How can the State Department's top Cuba diplomat lead talks with Castro's regime, while not knowing the conditions set forth in U.S. law for the full normalization of relations?

Click here to watch the exchange.

Instead, Jacobson kept regurgitating two talking-points:

- That U.S. sanctions policy toward Cuba has purportedly failed. This is particularly rich coming from an official who couldn't even explain what U.S. policy towards Cuba is. Moreover, in one of the most honest moments of the hearings, Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, Tom Malinowski, admitted to U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) that the U.S.'s engagement policy towards China had clearly failed to yield freedom, human rights and democracy.

Thus, the Obama Administration is using a failed policy as a model to substitute what it also purports to be a failed policy. Makes perfect nonsense.

- That other nations are thrilled with Obama's policy shift. Jacobson was most enthusiastic that other nations were pleased with the normalization announcement. Of course, those other nations have been economically financing and politically apologizing for Castro's dictatorship for decades. They are the same nations whose tourists and businesses helped Castro's regime survive the post-Soviet economic debacle of the 1990s. And now, the U.S. seeks to please them by helping Castro regime's survive its post-Venezuela economic debacle.

Rather than leading by example, the U.S. will now seek to "lead from behind" and adopt an immoral economic relationship with Castro's regime, in order to please other nations. More perfect nonsense.

So How’s That Cuba Deal Going?

By Mary Anastasia O'Grady in The Wall Street Journal:

So How’s That Cuba Deal Going?

Raúl Castro’s demands include reparations and no more U.S. asylum for doctors who defect.

Less than two months after his “historic” outreach to Havana with a promise to “normalize relations,” the U.S. commander in chief is getting the back of Raúl Castro’s hand.

On Dec. 17, President Obama floated his plan to revise a half-century-old U.S.-Cuba policy by promising engagement. “We intend to create more opportunities for the American and Cuban people,” he said. The trouble is that as his statements in recent weeks have shown, Raúl Castro has no interest in doing things differently.

The message from Havana is that if Mr. Obama wants a Cuba legacy it will have to be on Cuba’s terms. That means he will have to go down in history as the U.S. president who prolonged the longest-running military dictatorship in the Western Hemisphere.

Days before Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemispheric Affairs Roberta Jacobson arrived in Havana on Jan. 21 for talks, the Cuban state newspaper Granma published the government’s list of “demands” for normalizing relations. One of them was that the U.S. recognize Cuban state-run community groups as nongovernmental organizations. It did not name any, but the notorious “Committees to Defend the Revolution,” which exist to enforce repression by spying on the neighbors, come to mind. Also on the list published in Granma was a demand that the U.S. end its asylum program for Cuban doctors who escape while serving in third-world countries where they have been sent to work for slave wages.

A few days later, at a summit of Latin American and Caribbean leaders in Belén, Costa Rica, the 83-year-old little brother of Fidel reiterated some of his other demands. He said that relations would not be normalized unless Washington unilaterally lifts the embargo, returns Guantanamo Bay to Cuba, ceases radio and television transmissions beamed into Cuba and makes reparations for the half-century-long embargo.

Mr. Obama may want to give back Guantanamo as his critics claim. But it is not clear that he could do so without congressional approval. He definitely needs Congress to lift the embargo and there’s not a snowball’s chance in Havana that Congress is going to accept any such thing as embargo reparations, let alone pay them. Raúl Castro knows this, so in other words he’s telling Mr. Obama to take a hike.

But Mr. Obama wants to be friends with the military dictatorship. To prove it, he has promised to use his executive pen to streamline the permit process for so-called educational and cultural travel by Americans to the island. The military owns the tourism industry and more American tourists will mean more dollars going into its coffers.

No problem there for the Castros. But don’t expect any quid pro quo that requires a softening of the totalitarian machine. That much was made clear in the days following Mr. Obama’s speech.

Mr. Obama said that Cuba had pledged to release 53 prisoners of conscience in exchange for three Cubans serving lengthy sentences in the U.S. for espionage. This was supposed to be proof that Havana would behave more reasonably if only Washington would show more humility.

Snookered again. The spies were released but Havana did not keep its side of the bargain until pressure mounted weeks later, and not even then in any true sense. When the names of the prisoners finally were made public, the Havana-based Cuban Commission on Human Rights and National Reconciliation found that about a dozen of them had been released before the “swap” was even announced. Some had completed or were close to completing their sentences and were already scheduled for release.

Marcelino Abreu Bonora was on the list. He had been released in October. He was rearrested on Dec. 26 and spent two weeks in a solitary punishment cell before being released again in mid-January. His crime was holding a sign that said “change.” There were some 200 political arrests in the four weeks following Mr. Obama’s speech.

Cuba has never granted freedom to prisoners of conscience, as the treatment of the 75 dissidents rounded up during the “Black Spring” of 2003 shows. Sixty-three of them were exiled. The 12 who refused to leave are sporadically detained and denied the right to travel abroad.

Mr. Obama says Cuba can help the U.S. fight drug trafficking. Cuba certainly knows the business. It runs Venezuelan intelligence these days—and Caracas is home to some of the region’s most notorious drug capos. But who can believe that Havana would interfere with the cash flow the trade generates for its closest revolutionary ally?

Cuba’s top demand is that it be taken off the U.S. list of state-sponsors of terrorism. But in 2013 it was caught running weapons for North Korea. It is an Iranian ally. Last week the Colombian military intercepted 16 Russian-made antiaircraft rocket launchers bound for the Cuba-supported Colombia guerrilla group FARC.

No one doubts that Mr. Obama is hard up for friends these days, but courting Cuba makes him look desperate.

More Questions Than Answers at Cuba Hearings

By Evan Moore of The Foreign Policy Initiative:

More Questions Than Answers at Cuba Hearings

The American people, Congress, and even senior administration officials were surprised by President Obama’s December 17 change of policy in U.S.-Cuba relations.  Concurrent with a prisoner swap that secured the release of former USAID contractor Alan Gross, President Obama announced that Washington would begin to normalize relations with Havana.  In hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) and House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) this week, administration officials and Cuban democracy activists discussed the uncertainties surrounding the new policy and the importance of a renewed push for democratic change in Cuba.

The Need for Transparency

During a November 19 hearing to consider Antony Blinken’s nomination to be Deputy Secretary of State, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) asked, “Do you anticipate, during the rest of the president’s term, that there will be any unilateral change” to Cuba policy absent democratic reforms?  Blinken responded, “Anything that in the future might be done on Cuba would be done in full consultation” with Congress.  Blinken later apologized for misrepresenting the administration’s policy, but the fact remains that Congress expects greater transparency on this issue.

At this week’s hearings, it was clear that the State Department’s senior policymakers were also out of the loop.  Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roberta Jacobson told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that “no one in my bureau” was involved in negotiations, which were led “to the best of my knowledge” by National Security Council staffers Ben Rhodes and Ricardo Zuniga.

Similarly, Ms. Rosa Maria Payá, a human rights activist and the daughter of the slain dissident Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, told senators that the new policy can succeed only if “it is addressed with responsibility and with transparency, not more secrets,” and if the voice of Cuban citizens are heard during future negotiations.

Prioritize Human Rights in Cuba

As the State Department noted in its most recent human rights report on Cuba, the Castro regime uses “threats, extrajudicial physical violence, intimidation, mobs, harassment, and detentions” to maintain its rule.  The Havana-based Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation reported last month that there were 8,899 short-term detentions of dissidents and activists in 2014.  That is 2,000 more than the previous year and four times as many as in 2010.

Although 53 political prisoners were released as part of the agreement between the Obama administration and the Castro regime, those individuals remain under conditions that could easily return them to prison—and two have already been re-arrested.  As Mrs. Paya told the panel, “The regime turns political prisoners into pieces to be exchanged, because they can catch-and-release at will more political prisoners.”

Tom Malinowski, the Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, told senators that “The release of these prisoners does not change the fundamental nature of a state that tries to stifle everything it does not control.” He added that “We have no illusions about the current leadership’s desire to keep things just as they are.”  Going forward, the administration’s actions should reflect Mr. Malinowski’s recognition that “Human rights and the empowerment of the Cuban people must be the bedrock of our new policy towards Cuba, and it will be.”

Maintaining Pressure on the Castro Regime

In December, President Obama announced that this administration was “removing limits on remittances that support humanitarian projects, the Cuban people, and the emerging Cuban private sector.”  Miriam Leiva, a Cuban human rights activist, told senators that these remittances have helped open new “very small” businesses and lay the “seed for a future bigger business” by establishing financial independence from the regime.

But the emergence of new businesses alone will not free Cuba from the grip of the regime.  As Malinoswki said, “no country ever became a democracy simply because of trade or tourists.”  Indeed, as Paya noted, Cuban “entrepreneurs cannot be a factor to foster democracy because their existence as ‘private’ owners depends on their submission to the government.  There cannot be free markets where there are no free persons.”  She added, “With mojitos and Cuba Libres we’re not going to free our island.”

Lawmakers were even more critical of the administration’s decision to increase business between the United States and Cuba.  Congressman Albio Sires (D-NJ), the ranking member on HFAC’s Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, noted that because 85 percent of Cuban businesses are run by the military, “the people that are fighting for liberty and fighting for democracy on the island are basically left out” of the President’s new approach.  HFAC Chairman Ed Royce warned that “the Administration may have given a 50-year-old failed regime a new lease on life to continue its repression at home.”

Building a Coalition for Democratic Change in Cuba

Ms. Jacobson told skeptical House members that the new Cuba policy will enable the United States to “work more effectively with” Latin American and European countries to bring about change in Cuba.  Manuel Cuesta Morúa, a Cuban civil society leader, concurred, saying the administration’s policy shift “frames the debate over human rights in Cuba on the basis of a conflict about values, not a conflict among states.”

However, the argument that the U.S. embargo was “such an irritant” to Latin American and European countries so as to prevent them from speaking out against Havana’s human rights abuses is thin.  As Malinowski said, “To the extent that they used the embargo and our policy as an excuse for being silent about human rights abuses in Cuba, that was not justified.”  This is because “none of this, Cuba’s repression, its poverty, its isolation, is the fault of the United States or of the embargo. The responsibility lies with the Cuban government, period.”

Mr. Malinowski is right, and there is no excuse for other countries to refrain from condemning the Castro regime for its abuses.  The Obama administration should call on Latin American and European partners to insist that the Castro regime stop abusing human rights and immediately begin a process of democratization.

Conclusion

At this juncture, much remains uncertain about the President’s new Cuba policy.  SFRC Ranking Member Robert Menendez (D-NJ) lamented this week that “While it may have been done with the best of intentions, in my view we’ve compromised bedrock principles for virtually no concessions” from Cuba. Berta Soler, the President of Cuban Ladies in White, warned “You can’t do business with a tyrant. It just doesn’t work that way.” Nonetheless, the administration is reportedly seeking to open an embassy in Havana as soon as April, and is pressing to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism by June.

Moving forward, it is imperative that the Obama administration view its Cuba policy through the lens of helping the Cuban people win their freedom.  What’s more, President Obama should remember the pledge he made during the 2008 campaign that “if a post-Fidel government begins opening Cuba to democratic change, frees political prisoners and holds elections, the United States is prepared to take steps to normalize relations and ease the embargo that has governed relations between our countries for the last five decades.”  Just as Mr. Obama then pledged, any further U.S. steps should be made only after the Cuban regime takes real and irreversible actions to democratize.

Cuba ofrecerá servicios médicos baratos a estadounidenses

Cuba se dispone a sacar ventajas de sus nuevas relaciones con Estados Unidos y la flexibilización para los viajes a la isla autorizada por la Casa Blanca, ofreciendo a los estadounidenses servicios médicos especializados de primera calidad a bajo costo.
Apenas un mes después del anunciado deshielo diplomático entre Washington y La Habana, Cuba abrió un espacio a sus ofertas médicas en la feria internacional The New York Times Travel Show, celebrada en el Jacob Javits Center de la metrópoli newyorquina del 23 al 25 de enero.
Aunque la irrupción cubana en la feria de turismo pasó inadvertida para la gran prensa nacional y no fue citada en los medios oficiales de la isla, su presencia en el evento, no pasó por alto para sus competidores internacionales.
El tema fue abordado por la revista especializada Malaysian Insider, quien advirtió que Cuba podría convertirse en un fuerte competidor para los cinco países asiáticos que se benefician del turismo de salud estadounidense: Malasia, India, Singapur, Filipinas y Tailandia.
La revista señaló también a Turquía como otro fuerte competidor con potencial para sentir los efectos negativos de una normalización del turismo estadounidense a la isla.
Fatima Ozoy, directora de la Oficina de Cultura y Turismo de Turquía, con sede en New York, dijo a Malaysian Insider que el pasado año su país recibió a 800 mil turistas estadounidenses, de los cuales un número significativo de ellos viajó a recibir tratamientos médicos y oftalmológicos, de alta calidad y por menos de la mitad del costo en Estados Unidos.
“En el New York Times Travel Show, Cuba también mostró sus instalaciones médicas para los consumidores estadounidenses que sienten que la proximidad geográfica a Cuba es una ventaja en comparación con tomar vuelos de largo recorrido a destinos lejanos”, indicó la publicación.
En el marco de la feria se instaló también un panel para explicar las nuevas regulaciones de viajes a Cuba, en el cual participó, Mark Wells, coordinador de la Oficina de Asuntos Cubanos del Departamento de Estado.
Desde hace varios años Cuba desarrolla el llamado turismo de salud en centros médicos de La Habana, y algunas instalaciones en el interior de la isla, aunque hasta ahora, esa práctica no ha significado ingresos significativos.
La situación podría cambiar si los estadounidenses comienzan a viajar a Cuba, bajo las nuevas categorías de viaje autorizadas por Washington, donde los tratamientos de salud parecen estar incluidos.
Aunque el sistema de salud pública para la población cubana se ha deteriorado notablemente en los centros hospitalarios del país, el gobierno ha creado atención especializada para turistas extranjeros a través de la Comercializadora de Servicios Médicos S.A., que administra centros hospitalarios con servicios médicos de alta calidad.

Congressional Trips to Cuba in Doubt as US Interest Surges

A series of trips to Cuba by U.S. lawmakers is in doubt amid questions over the communist government's eagerness or ability to accommodate a surge of new interest and possible investment from the United States.
American officials said the Cuban government has pushed off all congressional visits, including one by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, until at least mid-April. The Cuban Interests Section in Washington said some will go forward in the coming days, but others are postponed.
Several members of Congress had planned to go to the island country this month. They included Pelosi, a California Democrat, and Sen. Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican, who has proposed ending the U.S. travel embargo of Cuba.
President Raul Castro's government has been scrambling to adjust to the possibility of new U.S. travel and investment in Cuba since he and President Barack Obama announced in December that the two countries would repair ties after a half-century of enmity.
And in a surprise development, Obama administration officials said they were informed by their Cuban counterparts earlier this week that no congressional visits would be allowed to travel to Cuba until April 15. They spoke on condition anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.
The Cuban Interests Section rejected that account, saying some delegations would be arriving in the next days.
A spokesman, who demanded anonymity because he wasn't authorized to talk publicly, said Cuba is receiving a large number of requests for visits. As a result, he said, the government is "arranging for the best possible dates for their visits so they get the attention they deserve in the middle of the many tasks we are facing at this moment in Cuba."
Pelosi's office had no immediate comment.
However, Sens. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., and Flake confirmed they wanted to visit at the end of the month but the Cubans denied the request.
Moran said the delegation was comprised of Republican senators who are "open-minded about changing the relationship with Cuba" and wanted to get a better understanding of issues on the island.
"At this point the indication is that they're not ready for our visit," said Moran, who was still hoping to reschedule the trip. "We don't know the reason. My staff has been told that the Cubans are not able to put together the necessary meetings that they would want to have for us. It could be just scheduling, but I don't know."
Many of the trips aim to explore new business opportunities as part of the thaw in U.S.-Cuban tensions. The administration last month significantly eased the 54-year economic embargo of Cuba, allowing U.S. telecommunications exports for the first time and ending a restriction on American credit and debit card transactions on the island.
Cubans are still trying to gauge the potential effects of the changes. U.S. companies also are still trying to make sense of the new regulations and much remains unclear. Only Congress has the power to fully lift the embargo, a step Obama is calling for but Republican leaders in the House and Senate oppose.
The most immediate objective of U.S.-Cuban diplomacy right now is re-establishing embassies.
The U.S. had been seeking to clinch an agreement before the Summit of the Americas in Panama. The meeting of Western Hemisphere nations takes place April 10-11 and could bring Obama and Castro together for a face-to-face meeting.
But the U.S. says Cuba must first end restrictions on American diplomats, shipments to the current U.S. Interests Section in Havana and entrance by Cubans to that building for embassies to be restored.
Cuba's most pressing demand is an end to banking restrictions, many of which are linked to its U.S. designation as a "state sponsor of terrorism." The Obama administration is likely to lift Cuba from that list in the next months.

House members question how new Cuba policy will improve human rights

Chairman Royce: Obama Gives Cuban Regime New Lease on Life

bbgwatch.com
Excerpts from the opening remarks of U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House

[T]alks with the Cuban regime were conducted by two White House officials. Unfortunately the White House was unwilling to provide these key witnesses today. This Committee, charged with oversight of our foreign policy, is handicapped when those officials most involved in policy making are unavailable. The Administration’s growing track record of secret negotiations, whether Iran or the release of the “Taliban Five,” is increasingly troublesome.

Had the White House consulted more widely, it may have heard that Havana is facing the threats of losing Venezuelan oil subsides and mounting public pressure for basic reforms. This could have been used to leverage meaningful political concessions by the regime. But this was a one-sided “negotiation,” with the U.S. making a series of concessions to Havana [...]

In defending this policy change, the President has compared our economic relationship with Cuba to that of China and Vietnam. But in China and Vietnam - while Communist - at least foreign firms can hire and recruit staff directly, without their pay going directly to the government.

Not so in Cuba, which is more like North Korea than China. A Cuban worker at the foreign-owned resort receives only a fraction of their salary – as little as 5 percent. Castro or Kim, the method is the same – extract hard currency from foreign business and invest in the security apparatus.

Instead of dismantling a 50-year-old failed policy, as it claims, the Administration may have given a 50-year-old failed regime a new lease on life to continue its repression at home and militant support for Marxist regimes abroad.

Testimonio de Antúnez ante la audiencia del Congreso de EEUU

Frente de Resistencia Civica OZT

Voz de América - Redacción
El disidente cubano Jorge Luis García Pérez “Antúnez” testificó este jueves en el Congreso para pedir apoyo a la libertad en Cuba.
En una emotiva intervención, Antúnez aseguró que “la dictadura castrista es un sistema irreformable” y criticó la decisión del gobierno del presidente Barack Obama de restablecer relaciones con La Habana.
“Estos acuerdos —considerados como una traición a las aspiraciones del pueblo cubano— son inaceptables, porque los principios y los derechos de los pueblos no pertenecen a ningún país por poderoso que sea”, dijo.
Agregó que “este es el momento de pedir concesiones reales al régimen cubano” y pidió “al pueblo y a este Congreso elegido libremente, que mantenga su firme apoyo a que el pueblo cubano sea libre”.
“Lo que necesitamos es libertad, y la resistencia cubana está luchando. Necesitamos su comprensión y apoyo”, remarcó.
La audiencia se realiza en la Subcomisión sobre África, salud mundial, derechos humanos globales y rrganizaciones Internacionales y se titula “Derechos Humanos en Cuba: una oportunidad perdida”.
Además de Antúnez, participan la fundadora de las Damas de Blanco, Berta Soler, otra de sus miembros, Sara Fonseca, y el director de WOLA, Geoff Thale.
La miembro de la subcomisión, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, al referirse a los invitados dijo que “Esta es la gente que tiene que sufrir las consecuencias de las decisiones de Obama”.
Otro representante, Mario Díaz-Balart, quien no es miembro de la subcomisión se refirió a ellos como “héroes”.
Contrariamente, la representante demócrata por California, Karen Bass, recordó que muchos países han visto el embargo hacia Cuba como una violación a los derechos humanos, agregando que ve el restablecimiento de relaciones entre los dos países como buena para el pueblo cubano.

El gran alarde de Raúl Castro

Eugenio Yáñez
Raúl Castro habló claro y fuerte en la Cumbre de CELAC en Costa Rica. A gobernantes extasiados con el antiimperialismo del régimen, y la izquierda cuyo deporte preferido es atacar a EEUU.
Sin embargo, habló sobre todo para La Caverna en la Isla: los “come-candela”, los “patria o muerte”, los de “pa’lo que sea, Fidel, pa’lo que sea”, siempre listos para el mitin de repudio, la golpiza, la cajita del almuerzo o la jabita mensual. Los que después de más de medio siglo en la estulticia se sienten colgados de la brocha desde el 17 de diciembre, cuando Raúl Castro les quitó la escalera. Más aun después del discurso de Obama sobre el Estado de la Unión y las medidas de relajamiento del embargo, que mueven al mundo a clamar: “Raúl Castro: levántate y anda”.
Personas que respeto y estimo consideran el discurso de Raúl Castro en San José de Costa Rica, coordinado con la carta de Fidel Castro a la FEU el día anterior, el pistoletazo de arrancada para liquidar la política de acercamiento de Obama, que habría fallecido seis semanas después de anunciada.
A quienes dicen eso les sigo respetando y estimando, aunque yo tengo una percepción alternativa sobre esos acontecimientos. Para decirlo menos sofisticadamente, mi opinión es diferente a la de ellos. Lo cual no significa que estén equivocados y yo tenga razón. ¡Como si no fuera posible un error mío o, peor aun, que estuviéramos equivocados tanto ellos como yo! Y de antemano aviso que mi punto de vista no gustará a muchos.
El Partido Comunista de Cuba, después de más de medio siglo hablando de chicharrones no puede hablar ahora de colesterol. Cambiar el lenguaje virulento sobre el imperialismo al más oportunista sobre “el vecino del norte” no se logra en dos días. Y las expectativas de los cubanos de a pie se elevaron demasiado el 17 de diciembre: si la causa de todos los males y pesares, decía el régimen, era la hostilidad de EEUU, la “normalización” de relaciones debería traducirse casi de inmediato en mejoría de las condiciones de vida. Algo que nunca ha estado ni está en los planes de ninguno de los Castro o sus presuntos herederos, más allá de lo imprescindible para que no estalle la olla. Pero los cubanos en la Isla se alborotan: rumores en la calle dicen que a partir de abril se espera un millón de turistas americanos por semana. Es imposible, pero ese es el rumor.
Siendo así, tanto el líder “histórico” de la llamada revolución (que aparentemente no estaba muerto, como aseguraban muchos), como su hermano menor y actual gobernante, tenían que lanzar urgentemente baldes de agua fría sobre las esperanzas y anhelos de la población. ¿Y qué mejor manera de hacerlo que exigir condiciones que los cubanos saben que no prosperarán, y que a la vez inyectan “moringa revolucionaria” al antiimperialismo de los duros de la Isla?
Nadie en su sano juicio entendería que la superpotencia más poderosa de la historia, por una simple pataleta de Raúl Castro, aceptara entregar la Base Naval de Guantánamo, levantar el embargo, eliminar Radio y TV Martí, y regalarle al régimen más de un millón de millones de dólares de los contribuyentes americanos en compensación por supuestos daños causados por “el criminal bloqueo” durante más de medio siglo (¿de qué esotérica contabilidad del régimen surgiría esa fabulosa cifra?). Y todo eso a cambio de nada, de a porque sí. “No sería ético, justo ni aceptable que se pidiera a Cuba nada a cambio. Si estos problemas no se resuelven, este acercamiento diplomático entre Cuba y Estados Unidos no tendría sentido”, dijo en Costa Rica el dictador.
La misma historia de los desquiciados “cinco puntos” de Fidel Castro cuando la Crisis de Octubre. Siempre creyéndose ombligo del mundo. Ahora, después de más de medio siglo con el régimen proclamando la misma cantaleta de David y Goliat, el hermano menor intenta que el régimen pase de víctima plañidera a guapo de barrio, y exige a EEUU casi una rendición incondicional. ¿Con qué? Una superpotencia impone condiciones cuando desea. O una potencia podría hacerlo por un tiempo, no mucho más. Sin embargo, no puede hacerlo la dictadura cubana, con el país en bancarrota, agotado, descapitalizado, ineficiente, perdiendo población continuamente, y sin perspectivas de mejoría en ningún terreno. Un país que vive de subsidios y regalos de Venezuela, otro país en crisis por su gobierno de ineptos y corruptos, cuyo torpe gobernante, actual mecenas del régimen de los Castro, no duerme tranquilo, inventando conspiraciones de todo el mundo contra él, y preguntándose cómo estará mañana el precio del petróleo.
Entonces, aunque se alegue, con razón, que cada vez que EEUU intenta un acercamiento al régimen la respuesta de La Habana es violenta y grosera (crisis de Octubre, subversión en América Latina, invasión de Angola y Etiopía, éxodo masivo Mariel 1980, éxodo masivo de balseros 1994, derribo de avionetas civiles de Hermanos al Rescate, declarar “constitucionalmente” irreversible al socialismo), no se puede olvidar que esas fueron acciones, provocaciones, hechos concretos, nunca discursos y declaraciones solamente, que es lo que ha habido en este caso hasta ahora.
¿Qué podrían comenzar mañana esas acciones? Es posible, pero no obligado. Además, en ninguno de esos momentos mencionados las tensiones subyacían con tanta fuerza en los cubanos, ni la situación económica y social en la Isla era tan grave, compleja y sin futuro como en estos momentos, en que incluso la mayor apuesta económica de Raúl Castro, el súper-puerto de El Mariel, lleva más de un año llenándose de telarañas sin que aparezcan inversionistas, cuando el mismo régimen admitió necesitar $2.500 millones anuales en inversión extranjera.
Ninguno de los dos hermanos Castro es suicida como para rechazar, en medio del caos cubano creado por ellos mismos, la oportunidad de mantenerse en el poder con dólares de EEUU. Gritarán y lanzarán su “bluff” de jugador de póker, pero como el título de aquella película cubana, hasta cierto punto. De ahí no pasarán. Y todas sus demandas absurdas siempre irán quedando para después.
Lo dicho aquí no tendrá el favor de muchos, y puedo equivocarme en mi análisis, claro está. El tiempo dirá.

"Hablame"

"EN TIEMPOS DIFÍCILES" - Heberto Padilla

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.

Carta desde la carcel de Fidel Castro Ruz

“…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…”

“…Como soy cocinero, de vez en cuando me entretengo preparando algún pisto. Hace poco me mandó mi hermana desde Oriente un pequeño jamón y preparé un bisté con jalea de guayaba. También preparo spaghettis de vez en cuando, de distintas formas, inventadas todas por mí; o bien tortilla de queso. ¡Ah! ¡Qué bien me quedan! por supuesto, que el repertorio no se queda ahí. Cuelo también café que me queda muy sabroso”.
“…En cuanto a fumar, en estos días pasados he estado rico: una caja de tabacos H. Upman del doctor Miró Cardona, dos cajas muy buenas de mi hermano Ramón….”.
“Me voy a cenar: spaghettis con calamares, bombones italianos de postre, café acabadito de colar y después un H. Upman #4. ¿No me envidias?”.
“…Me cuidan, me cuidan un poquito entre todos. No le hacen caso a uno, siempre estoy peleando para que no me manden nada. Cuando cojo el sol por la mañana en shorts y siento el aire de mar, me parece que estoy en una playa… ¡Me van a hacer creer que estoy de vacaciones! ¿Qué diría Carlos Marx de semejantes revolucionarios?”.

Liborio

Liborio
A la puerta de la gloria está San Pedro sentado y ve llegar a su lado a un hombre de cierta historia. No consigue hacer memoria y le pregunta con celo: ¿Quién eras allá en el suelo? Era Liborio mi nombre. Has sufrido mucho, hombre, entra, te has ganado el cielo.

Para Raul Castro

Cuba ocupa el penultimo lugar en el mundo en libertad economica solo superada por Corea del Norte.

Cuba ocupa el lugar 147 entre 153 paises evaluados en "Democracia, Mercado y Transparencia 2007"

Cuando vinieron

Cuando vinieron a buscar a los comunistas, Callé: yo no soy comunista.
Cuando vinieron a buscar a los sindicalistas, Callé: yo no soy sindicalista.
Cuando vinieron a buscar a los judíos, Callé: yo no soy judío. Cuando vinieron a buscar a los católicos, Callé: yo no soy “tan católico”.
Cuando vinieron a buscarme a mí, Callé: no había quien me escuchara.

CUBA LLORA Y EL MUNDO Y NOSOTROS NO ESCUCHAMOS

Donde esta el Mundo, donde los Democratas, donde los Liberales? El pueblo de Cuba llora y nadie escucha.
Donde estan los Green, los Socialdemocratas, los Ricos y los Pobres, los Con Voz y Sin Voz? Cuba llora y nadie escucha.
Donde estan el Jet Set, los Reyes y Principes, Patricios y Plebeyos? Cuba desesperada clama por solidaridad.
Donde Bob Dylan, donde Martin Luther King, donde Hollywood y sus estrellas? Donde la Middle Class democrata y conservadora, o acaso tambien liberal a ratos? Y Gandhi? Y el Dios de Todos?
Donde los Santos y Virgenes; los Dioses de Cristianos, Protestantes, Musulmanes, Budistas, Testigos de Jehova y Adventistas del Septimo Dia. Donde estan Ochun y todas las deidades del Panteon Yoruba que no acuden a nuestro llanto? Donde Juan Pablo II que no exige mas que Cuba se abra al Mundo y que el Mundo se abra a Cuba?
Que hacen ahora mismo Alberto de Monaco y el Principe Felipe que no los escuchamos? Donde Madonna, donde Angelina Jolie y sus adoptados around de world; o nos hara falta un Brando erguido en un Oscar por Cuba? Donde Sean Penn?
Donde esta la Aristocracia Obrera y los Obreros menos Aristocraticos, donde los Working Class que no estan junto a un pueblo que lanquidece, sufre y llora por la ignominia?
Que hacen ahora mismo Zapatero y Rajoy que no los escuchamos, y Harper y Dion, e Hillary y Obama; donde McCain que no los escuchamos? Y los muertos? Y los que estan muriendo? Y los que van a morir? Y los que se lanzan desesperados al mar?
Donde estan el minero cantabrico o el pescador de percebes gijonese? Los Canarios donde estan? A los africanos no los oimos, y a los australianos con su acento de hombres duros tampoco. Y aquellos chinos milenarios de Canton que fundaron raices eternas en la Isla? Y que de la Queen Elizabeth y los Lords y Gentlemen? Que hace ahora mismo el combativo Principe Harry que no lo escuchamos?
Donde los Rockefellers? Donde los Duponts? Donde Kate Moss? Donde el Presidente de la ONU? Y Solana donde esta? Y los Generales y Doctores? Y los Lam y los Fabelo, y los Sivio y los Fito Paez?
Y que de Canseco y Miñoso? Y de los veteranos de Bahia de Cochinos y de los balseros y de los recien llegados? Y Carlos Otero y Susana Perez? Y el Bola, y Pancho Cespedes? Y YO y TU?
Y todos nosotros que estamos aqui y alla rumiando frustaciones y resquemores, envidias y sinsabores; autoelogios y nostalgias, en tanto Louis Michel comulga con Perez Roque mientras Biscet y una NACION lanquidecen?
Donde Maceo, donde Marti; donde aquel Villena con su carga para matar bribones?
Cuba llora y clama y el Mundo NO ESCUCHA!!!
