¿Que Pasó con La Revolución?

Reflections from my father:

Esta semana un señor me dijo que en Cuba, mis compatriotas no vivian tan mal porque por lo menos no tenían que pagar los impuestos que nosotros pagamos aquí. Me gustaria compartir lo que considero, refutó esa información del señor mencionado.

Le expliqué que desde hace 50 años el obrero cubano recibe, como pago, una pequeña porción del valor real de su trabajo. Baste con analizar el presente, donde el salario promedio de un hobrero son $20 dólares al mes. En cualquier pais recibirá al menos $400 en igual tiempo. Esto puede significar que el gobierno retiene $380. Esto es un impuesto extraordinariamente alto sobre sus ingresos.

El estado, en todos los paises, establece un contrato social donde lo recaudado en impuestos se invierte en presupuestos para garantizar servicios básicos y subsidios. En el caso de Cuba: la salud pública, la educacion y el abastecimiento normado de alimentos, la seguridad pública y construcción de viviendas. Para esto disponía de 9 caa de 10 dólares ganado por el obrero, durante 50 años según cálculos de instituciones internacionales imparciales.

Sobre la Educación ya se conoce el desplome total del sistema. La entrega de productos normados solo cubre la necesidad básica de alimentos de dos semanas del mes y ha llevado al cubano al consumo de menos calorías que las consumidas por un esclavo hace 150 años. La necesidad ha llevado a la ONU ha alimentar a 12% de la población. El exito de construcción de viviendas no resiste el más minimo análisis después de ver el estado de ruinas que se ve desde la capital al más lejano pueblo y el asinamiento en que vive la familia cubana, porque en cada casa conviven hasta 3 y 4 generaciones de la familia por la nesesidad superior al millón de viviendas que tiene el pais.

En la salud pública el sistema ha colapsado totalmente pese a tener una proporcion de médicos por habitante superior a la mayoría de países desarrollados del mundo. Cuba esta plagada de epidemias y enfermedades erradicadas en paises pobres. De los 24 países principales de America Latina, Cuba ocupa el lugar 19 en volumen de inversion en esta rama.

Normalmente esta roptura del contrato social entre el estado y el pueblo lleva al derrumbe de gobierno y su substitución. En Cuba no es así porque el presupuesto se emplea en fortificar y mantener el más despiadado aparato de control y represión. Para esto si esta disponible el impuesto cobrado ampliamente al pueblo que involuntariamente garantiza su propia represión. Por último, la nueva queja del gobierno es que el estado no puede seguir siendo el “papá generoso del pueblo” o sea, se ha creado un vacío en la relación pueblo-estado.¿Donde esta la propuesta para llenar ese vacío? La historia lo dirá, y ojalá que sea pronto.

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Vetarans Day to all of us Vets, home and abroad!

Guide to Pelosi’s Healthcare Bill

Below are the US Rep. Mike Pence’s notes to Pelosi’s Healthcare bill, as it stands today… Great stuff.

This reading guide includes what we have uncovered in our initial reading of the Pelosi health “reform” legislation (H.R. 3962) introduced by House Democrats.

Page 94—Section 202(c) prohibits the sale of private individual health insurance policies, beginning in 2013, forcing individuals to purchase coverage through the federal government

Page 110—Section 222(e) requires the use of federal dollars to fund abortions through the government-run health plan—and, if the Hyde Amendment were ever not renewed, would require the plan to fund elective abortions

Page 111—Section 223 establishes a new board of federal bureaucrats (the “Health Benefits Advisory Committee”) to dictate the health plans that all individuals must purchase —and would likely require all Americans to subsidize and purchase plans that cover any abortion

Page 211—Section 321 establishes a new government-run health plan that, according to non-partisan actuaries at the Lewin Group, would cause as many as 114 million Americans to lose their existing coverage

Page 225—Section 330 permits—but does not require—Members of Congress to enroll in government-run health care

Page 255—Section 345 includes language requiring verification of income for individuals wishing to receive federal health care subsidies under the bill—while the bill includes a requirement for applicants to verify their citizenship, it does not include a similar requirement to verify applicants’ identity, thus encouraging identity fraud for undocumented immigrants and others wishing to receive taxpayer-subsidized health benefits

Page 297—Section 501 imposes a 2.5 percent tax on all individuals who do not purchase “bureaucrat-approved” health insurance— the tax would apply on individuals with incomes under $250,000, thus breaking a central promise of then-Senator Obama’s presidential campaign

Page 313—Section 512 imposes an 8 percent “tax on jobs” for firms that cannot afford to purchase “bureaucrat-approved” health coverage ; according to an analysis by Harvard Professor Kate Baicker, such a tax would place millions “at substantial risk of unemployment”—with minority workers losing their jobs at twice the rate of their white counterparts

Page 336—Section 551 imposes additional job-killing taxes, in the form of a half-trillion dollar “surcharge,” more than half of which will hit small businesses ; according to a model developed by President Obama’s senior economic advisor, such taxes could cost up to 5.5 million jobs

Page 520—Section 1161 cuts more than $150 billion from Medicare Advantage plans, potentially jeopardizing millions of seniors’ existing coverage

Page 733—Section 1401 establishes a new Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research; the bill includes no provisions preventing the government-run health plan from using such research to deny access to life-saving treatments on cost grounds, similar to Britain’s National Health Service, which denies patient treatments costing more than $35,000

Page 1174—Section 1802(b) includes provisions entitled “TAXES ON CERTAIN INSURANCE POLICIES” to fund comparative effectiveness research, breaking Speaker Pelosi’s promise that “We will not be taxing [health] benefits in any bill that passes the House,” and the President’s promise not to raise taxes on families with incomes under $250,000

Dr. Biscet Condemns the Concert

In a radio interview from political prison, Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet spoke to Radio Marti through a clandestine two-way phone line. The courageus Doctor weighted in on the recent Colombian singer Juanes’ concert in Havana, comparing the Cuban masses to slaves, drawing overall criticism to the concert.

Perverse Concert In Havana

Some 500,000 Cubans showed up yesterday to that Concert “For Peace without Borders” at La Plaza de la Revolution, located in the heart of Havana, Cuba. (“La plaza” is a place that has a long dreadful history of decades full of hateful communist speeches by Fidel Castro). I’m sure that all 500,000 attendees had a great time, courtesy of their Master, Castro, who invited many ideologically aligned, international artists to play music on the plantation (Cuba). Among those useful fellas were Juanes, Olga Tañón, Miguel Bosé, and Orishas. Cuban Rulers also rewarded their good peasants (the masses) with free entrance to the censored festivity. Invited artists performed for free, and sang for peace… Isn’t everybody just great and caring?

The Cuban people need Freedom, Democracy, Liberty! What the hell is this crap about concert for peace! How can there be peace without liberty?No Borders? Dissident musicians were not allowed to participate in the so called apolitical event: Gorky Ágila, Willy Chirino, Arturo Sandoval, Paquito D’ Rivera, Gloria Estefan, Olga Gillot, Amaury Gutierres, ect. They are not allowed to enter, much less perform on the island nation. The “concert” yesterday was a complete political act, orchestrated by the cruel Cuban regime. Everything that is done in Cuba has a political purpose including cultural events, there is no free and honest discussion about internal affairs, and this is enforced by the regime with an iron fist. In Cuba, 10% of its citizens are currently behind bars for simply opposing the political views of those that have been running every single aspect of life inside the enslaved island for half a century now, and counting.

The artists who participated on this political stunt called “a concert” are either too stupid to realize what is really going on, or are playing ball with the regime, either way the outcome is the same: Legitimizes the Cuban regime in the eyes of the world.

Alexis de Tocqueville, a French political thinker and historian, wrote a book called “Democracy in America” (published in the 1830’s) lecturing on observations made about the balance of liberty and equality in The New World. The following excerpt from the book could very well be applied to the cuban tragedy, as it has a remarkable relation with yesterday’s concert in Havana:

… it (the state) is well content that the people should rejoice,
provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?

Reflecting on 9/11

Eight years ago from today took place the most horrific attack in our nation’s History.

Make no mistake, 9/11 was not a crime like President Obama said today. What happened on the morning of September 11th, 2001 was a clear declaration of war from a very dangerous, very real, and commited enemy. The terrorist freaks are determined to destroy The U.S. and all the good that we represent.

The fact is that extreme Islam is still very much at war with us. Engaging these barbarians by keeping on the offense is still key to win this very decisive war. We must always remember, and apply the lessons learned from the attacks, ensuring that what happened on September 11th, 2001 does not ever happen again. Continuous national security is accomplished in part by sticking to what it works against the terrorists, methods that have kept us safe for exactly eight years now.
May God bless America and our troops!

Letter from Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet

Dr. Biscet wrote this letter yesterday from prison- Pinar del Rio, Cuba:

July 20 – Today, on the eve of my 48th birthday, I write these lines from prison cell #1232. If this testimony from the box where I have been unjustly forced to live for almost 10 years now is of some interest to mankind, then publish it.
When I began advocating the philosophies of Gandhi and Thoreau, I remember those who commented that I would soon begin walking through the streets of Havana in a loincloth like Gandhi. Upon hearing these insults, I’d simply smile, as surely I would soon be subjected to this condition — not in the streets of Havana, but in the indefinite confinement that I would face for such advocacy. Those that resorted to such insults, seeking to humiliate me, would not be mistaken after all, but it is through the humiliation of a man in loincloth that human dignity is reflected over barbarism.
When you ask me how I am doing, and I tell you that I am resisting, it is because the environment I find myself in is too brutal for any civilized man imprisoned for promoting ideas of love, the respect for human rights and the defense of life. Yet, I thank God as I awake every day, for in this dark and lonely cell, I know He is with me.
- Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet, Cuban pro-democracy leader and Amnesty International prisoner of conscience serving a 25-year sentence, in a letter to his wife and the world.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet

 

Today I celebrate the 48th birthday of real Cuban hero: Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet. It is a great day to reflect on the extraordinary task that he is undertaking.

Dr. Biscet is currently survives inside those horrifying communist jails, where the Cuban dictator has placed him to serve a sentence of 25 years — through a sham trial — for speaking out against the cruel and oppressive regime that literally owns Cuba and all its citizens. Dr. Biscet is an anti-abortion, human rights activist inside the enslaved island. Tyrants have always, and will always fear men like Dr. Biscet. He is a real pain in the fanny to the ruthless Cuban regime, and a Hero to all the freedom-loving Cuban people inside and outside the island, as well as to anybody else in the world who is passionate about liberty, life and human dignity.

We demand his immediate release!

Ridiculous Government-Run Media

Check out this CNN clown cheerleading for Obama, and getting shot down by reporter Nkepile Mabuse’s true objective journalism — It’s priceless.

Very funny stuff… and also very sad.
