Aleida Guevara: ¿De qué democracia hablan en Europa?

Emocionada y con la contundencia que la caracteriza, Aleida Guevara hizo una elocuente defensa de la dignidad del pueblo cubano para resistir el bloqueo criminal que desde hace más de medio siglo el imperio estadounidense (y sus aliados europeos) vienen imponiendo a su país.

Fue en una de las conferencias magistrales en el marco del VII Encuentro de Solidaridad Continental con Cuba que culminó el fin de semana en Caracas,Venezuela.

Guevara sostuvo que “si Estados Unidos no quiere comerciar con nosotros, no nos importa, pero sí nos parece muy mal que no podamos comerciar con otros países”. Dio ejemplos cotidianos que se convirtieron en un doloroso disparate, por el sadismo de los mandatarios de Washington en las últimas cinco décadas.

Allí está el caso de que “por no poder comprar leche en polvo en Europa, pues el imperio presionaba a las empresas locales, tuvimos que ir a buscar ese importante elemento que alimenta a nuestros niños y niñas en Nueva Zelanda, es decir, en el otro extremo del planeta”. En ese mismo sentido, la hija del Che Guevara expresó que no hay que olvidar que “todo barco que toque puerto cubano no puede volver a hacerlo en los de EEUU o cualquiera de sus aliados, durante los próximos seis meses”.

Evocó también cuando hubo que remover cielo y tierra por medicamentos para salvar vidas y las dificultades afrontadas. “Si en aras de salvar la vida de un cubano o cubana que esté enfermo tenemos que golpear las puertas de la Casa Blanca, lo haríamos, pero sabemos que no moverían un dedo para facilitarnos la tarea, todo lo contrario”, dijo.

Luego, Aleida embistió contra los gobiernos europeos: “¿De qué democracia hablan los europeos? ¿Cuándo se vio que se elija democráticamente a un rey, por ejemplo? ¿Dónde está la vieja Europa, que lo único que hace es claudicar todo el tiempo y arrodillarse ante Estados Unidos”, se preguntó.

Por último definió algunos elementos de la necesaria solidaridad que es preciso aplicar con todos los pueblos que luchan contra el imperio y por la liberación. Evocó aquellos tiempos en que el Che llamaba insistentemente para no dejar sola a Vietnam, igual que ahora hay que hacerlo con Iraq, Afganistán y Palestina. Y culminó: “No hay bloqueo que nos pueda vencer. La solidaridad es la ternura de los pueblos. Hagámosla realidad”.

Mantener la economía socialista

Otro excelente aporte al Encuentro hizo el economista cubano José Angel Pérez,presidente del Centro de Investigación de la Economía Mundial (CIEM), quien abordó los nuevos cambios que se están produciendo en Cuba. Pérez señaló que el actual modelo económico cubano significa “consolidar la economía socialista”. Remarcó: “Que nadie se equivoque: no es economía de mercado ni economía mixta, sino socialista”.

Luego se preguntó por qué hubo que actualizar el modelo económico: “Porque teníamos ciertas desproporciones y disfuncionalidades en el cumplimiento de las leyes, todo esto en el marco de la crisis mundial que se vive hoy”. No dudó en definir que la primera causa es el bloqueo estadounidense, que “ha provocado hasta fines de 2012 más de un billón de millones de dólares de pérdida”.

Insistió en que “hubo que actualizar en consecuencia el modelo económico, y no es para regresar al capitalismo, tal cual que dicen nuestros enemigos”. “Lo hacemos para garantizar la continuidad de nuestro modelo socialista”, afirmó.

Operation Mindfuck: The origins of the Illuminati conspiracy fraud and how it became popular in our times

From the new documentary Can 't Get You Out of My Head by Adam Curtis   globinfo freexchange   The first settlers had come from Europe to America to flee from the corruption of power in the Old World. But although they had got away from the old power, they hadn't got away from their suspicious minds, and alone, out in the vast wilderness of the new America, that led them to imagining dark, hidden conspiracies in their own government, far away in Washington.    One of the first of these, in the early 19th century, said that a secret group from Europe, called the Bavarian Illuminati, were running a giant conspiracy in America to destroy the new democracy. In reality, the Illuminati had been a utopian movement who wanted to replace religion with reason. But instead, they now became the first of a series of frightening suspicions that fed off the isolation of the settlers in the New World.    One night (in 1958, somewhere in the vicinity of Whittier, Califo...

US Warships Under Fire: Iran Hits Back & Blasts UAE

MintPress News  "PROJECT FREEDOM." Trump calls it humanitarian aid. We call it what he already admitted it is: piracy. On Friday, Trump boasted that US forces seizing Iranian ships and oil were "sort of like pirates, but we are not playing games."  By Sunday, he had rebranded the blockade as "Project Freedom"—a military escort operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Today, that operation went live: 15,000 US troops, guided-missile destroyers, and over 100 aircraft are enforcing American "freedom" at gunpoint. Let's be clear: Washington didn't enter the Strait to defend commerce. It entered to monopolize commerce—to maintain imperial control over the world's oil arteries and strangle Iran's economy.  Iran knows this. That's why closing the Strait and establishing its own transit protocols remains its strongest card in the fight for self-determination. When Trump confessed to piracy, he wasn't joking. He was c...

Russia & China Now OPENLY Backing Iran!

“Russia & China Preparing For War With The US!”

The Jimmy Dore Show   Colonel Douglas Macgregor explains that as a result of recent military conflicts, Russia, China, and Iran have become allies, and that Beijing and Moscow have concluded that "if we let Iran fail, we're next on the menu" from what he describes as a "rogue state led by a rogue personality," meaning they will intervene to prevent Iran's collapse if the US threatens it. He tells Jimmy Dore that Putin called Trump for an hour and a half to make it clear that a military campaign in Iran would not succeed and would make the situation much worse, offering to store Iran's enriched uranium as a diplomatic gesture. Macgregor warns that if the US restarts the war, China could send 40 or 50 surface combatants and submarines to the Indian Ocean, and Russia could fly MiG-31s into Iranian airspace — not to provoke a direct confrontation but to "make a point." He concludes that the British Empire overreached and overextended with World War...

How Western societies lost their faith in Vision

Why people don't rise up massively today? Why there are no real revolutions? How we tolerate all things that have been imposed to us? These questions come up in people's minds more and more often today in Greece and abroad, due to the economic crisis. Some theories are circulated as an answer, among these, explanations which include, for example, the psychosynthesis of modern Greeks, but the truth is that there is something more fundamental behind this passive behaviour and concerns not only Greece, but the entire Western world. by system failure Prior to the beginning of the 20th century, Friedrich Nietzsche declares God's death and Western world will put all its hopes in science. Laplace's Determinism leads to the almighty man, who through science, can find all the answers for the world. Technology, which naturally comes from scientific discoveries, promises prosperity and a better life for the majority. Science becomes the central "pylon...

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Why the US pressured the UAE to leave OPEC: Big Oil corporations benefit

Geopolitical Economy Report   OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, is in crisis after the United Arab Emirates (UAE), its third-largest producer, left the group. Donald Trump openly praised the decision, saying it is good for the United States. Ben Norton explains why the US government opposes OPEC, which is rooted in the Third World nationalist movements of the 1960s, which sought more economic resources for the Global South. The USA wants its Big Oil corporations to dominate the industry.
