Castro is to the Cuban people what Hitler is to the Jews |

Anti-Empire Notes: The Cuban Punching Bag
By WILLIAM BLUM --- an apologist of a tyrant
William Blum has published many books and articles always critical of
the US, the land he was born.

But, he does not want the Cuban people to enjoy the freedoms he enjoys
in this country.
How would he feel if, all of a sudden, he would be labeled an enemy of
this country because he is supportive of Castro's dictatorship, a
country that is labeled by the US State Department a state that
sponsors terrorism? What if he would be thrown in a dungeon for 25
years? What if he could not publish his books in this country?
In this article, he does not mention that these 75 Cuban men and women
were condemned to 20, 25 years in jail for writing articles against the
regime. To Castro and to his agents, that means being a puppet of the
US. It means it is all right to thrown them 25 years in jail.
The Committee to Protect Journalists, located in New York, calls itself
"An Independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to defending press
freedom worldwide". In December it issued a report that said that
"China, Cuba, Eritrea, and Ethiopia are the world's leading jailers of
journalists in 2005".
This is the truth.
On January 7 I sent them the following email:
"Dear People,
"I have a question concerning your report on imprisoned journalists.
You write that you consider journalists imprisoned when governments
deprive them of their liberty because of their work. This implies that
they've been imprisoned because of WHAT THEY'VE WRITTEN PER SE. You
show Cuba with 24. And I would question whether your criterion applies
to the Cuban cases. The arrests of these persons in Cuba had nothing to
do with them being journalists, or even being dissidents, per se, but
had everything to do with their very close, indeed intimate, political
and financial connections to American government officials.
Lies Lies and more Lies. These Cubans are patriots that are unjustly
condemned by a totalitarian regime. Is that what Mr. Blum wants for
this great nation?
"The United States is to the Cuban government like al Qaeda is to
Washington, only much more powerful and much closer. During the period
of the Cuban revolution, the United States and anti-Castro Cuban exiles
in the US have inflicted upon Cuba damage greater than what happened in
New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. In 1999, Cuba filed a
suit against the United States for $181.1 billion in compensation for
victims of (at that time) forty years of aggression. The suit accused
Washington policies of being responsible for the death of 3,478 Cubans
and wounding or disabling 2,099 others.
Fidel Castro is responsible for the death of thousands of Cubans
http://members.aol.com/aguadacuba/cs/menu.htm
(there is a section in English)
"Would the US ignore a group of Americans receiving funds from al Qaeda
and engaging in repeated meetings with known leaders of that
organization inside the United States? Would it matter if these
American dissidents claimed to be journalists? In the past few years,
the American government has arrested a great many people in the US and
abroad on the basis of alleged ties to al Qaeda, with a lot less
evidence to go by than Cuba had with its dissidents' ties to the United
States.
These Cubans HAVE NEVER COMMITTED ANY TERRORISTS ACTS. They are in jail
because they have openly opposed the Castro regime.What funds did they
receive? A computer? Paper? These people were thrown from their jobs
for their views.They have gone through hell because they believe in
freedom and democracy.
"Moreover, most of the arrested Cubans can hardly be called
journalists. Their only published works have appeared on websites
maintained by agencies of the United States."
Communist propaganda. They are not allowed to write in their country
because Cuba is a totalitarian state.
On February 10, having received no reply, I sent another email
referring them to my January 7 letter. As of March 21 I still have not
received a reply. In the United States one does not have to defend
attacking Cuba for any reason. You just do it, and if by some oddball
chance, some oddball person asks you to defend what you've said ... Who
cares? The sports section of the Washington Post today brings another
mindless knee-reflex attack. Alfonso Soriano, the Washington National's
new player, has refused to play left field, insisting on his regular
second-base position. "Imagine," writes Thomas Boswell, "Soriano
refusing to change positions if he played for the Cuban team in the WBC
title game. Fidel Castro might have disposed of the body before game
time."
So what?
Incidentally, it might also be noted that amongst America's prison
population of more than two million, there are probably at least a few
hundred who have practiced journalism at one time or other, in one
manner or other.
The 2 million Americans in jail are not there for expressing their
political views. Had it been the case, Mr Blum would have been there
with them, instead of making a lot of money by villanizing the country
that gives him the opportunity to openly express his anti-government
views.
He also fails to mention that Cuba, a country of 11 million, has more
than 250 thousand Cubans in prison. In Cuba if you are caught selling
anything in the black market you can spend 3 to 4 years in jail. If you
say something irreverent against Castro you can be prosecuted under the
law of "desacato" and spend as many years in jail as they wish.

It's easy to prove that the media is a pack of liars. If they were not
liars they would tell people that Hitler believed that the Jews
controlled the media. Why don't they? Here are some quotes from Mein
Kampf:
"The man who is not opposed and vilified and slandered in the Jewish
Press is not a staunch German and not a true National Socialist. The
best rule whereby the sincerity of his convictions, his character and
strength of will, can be measured is by the hostility which his name
arouses among the mortal enemies of our people.
"The followers of the movement, and indeed the whole nation, must be
reminded again and again of the fact that, through the medium of his
newspapers, the Jew is always spreading falsehood and that if he tells
the truth on some occasions it is only for the purpose of masking some
greater deceit, which turns the apparent truth into a deliberate
falsehood. The Jew is the Great Master of Lies. Falsehood and
duplicity are the weapons with which he fights.
"Every calumny and falsehood published by the Jews are tokens of honor
which can be worn by our comrades. He whom they decry most is nearest
to our hearts and he whom they mortally hate is our best friend.
"If a comrade of ours opens a Jewish newspaper in the morning and does
not find himself vilified there, then he has spent yesterday to no
account. For if he had achieved something he would be persecuted,
slandered, derided and abused. Those who effectively combat this
mortal enemy of our people, who is at the same time the enemy of all
Aryan peoples and all culture, can only expect to arouse opposition on
the part of this race and become the object of its slanderous attacks.
"When these truths become part of the flesh and blood, as it were, of
our members, then the movement will be impregnable and invincible."
" Then I began to examine my favorite 'World Press', with that fact
before my mind. "The deeper my soundings went the lesser grew my
respect for that Press which I formerly admired. Its style became
still more repellant and I was forced to reject its ideas as entirely
shallow and superficial. To claim that in the presentation of facts
and views its attitude was impartial seemed to me to contain more
falsehood than truth. The writers were- Jews.
"Thousands of details that I had scarcely noticed before seemed to me
now to deserve attention. I began to grasp and understand things which
I had formerly looked at in a different light."
"Thus another weapon beside that of freemasonry would have to be
secured. This was the Press. The Jew exercised all his skill and
tenacity in getting hold of it. By means of the Press he began
gradually to control public life in its entirety."

Look: YOU are INFERIOR to most of humankind, be they white, black, red,
straight, gay -- whatever. You exploit this supremacist ideology
because it allows you to hide your individual shortcomings within the
perceived accomplishments of the white race. You're a white supremacist
because your WHITENESS turns out to be the only real asset you have to
promote, and any esteem you have hinges solely on your forsaking your
individuality. By promoting it (your whiteness) -- with its alleged
higher IQ averages and subsequent inventiveness -- you subsume your
identity into the history of the white race, coattailing on the
achievements of others by conscripting them into your white collective.
In reality, you exist on the fringes of humanity, regardless of your
race, on the most primitive margins, and unfit for the future of
humanity. Those are the facts, my little goose-stepper. If you don't
take steps to reclaim your individuality, you're going to die a
gibbering nitwit, as ignorant as the day you were born.
