"The OAS, an unburied political cadaver and Hillary's Retrograde Thinking" by Alberto Jones
The OAS, an unburied political cadaver and Hillary's retrograde thinking

Alberto N. Jones
June 2, 2009

As part of a concerted effort to wrap-up and control large swat of
the world through a network of political, military, financial,
cultural and religious organizations, numerous institutions in the
United States spearheaded the founding of the Organization of
American States, The United Nations, NATO, IMF, BID, USO and many
others, tens of Foundations, Study Groups, the promotion of dictators
and tyrants with their academy of higher education embodied in the
School of the Americas and a worldwide media network, of which the
VOA and Radio Free Europe are its best exponents.

As a precondition, the United States demanded and received the
prerogative of paying the largest portion of these institutions
budget, limiting the independence of these quasi satellite,
marionette, on call, ready to comply organizations, which facilitated
Cuba's expulsion in 1962, after paying Haiti a large bribe to join
this infamous chorus.

Although Cuba have publicly expressed its disdain for this unburied,
rotting political cadaver, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton found
this gathering in Honduras an appropriate setting for her to present
a list of archaic, immoral demands on Cuba, which she should have
known, most other members would vociferously reject, creating a
stalemate of the US against the majority of other member states.

Presuming, most in the world today have forgotten when the US wholehe
artedly embraced Somoza of Nicaragua, Stroessner of Paraguay, Videla
of Argentina, Papa Doc and Baby Doc of Haiti, Trujillo of the
Dominican Republic, Gairy in Grenada, D'Aubusson in El Salvador,
Batista of Cuba, Noriega in Panama, Banzer in Bolivia, Fujimore in
Peru and tens of others assassins, or when the United States brutally
decapitated President Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala, Juan Bosch in the
Dominican Republic, Salvador Allende in Chile and many others, as the
OAS with its complicit silence, tolerated or condoned these atrocious
actions.

As the world assists to the final days of the OAS, we are forced to
reflect on how the United States arrogance and lack of political
sensitivity towards Latin America and the Caribbean people, enabled
it to impose for nearly half a century, the most brutal blockade on a
small, weak, sister nation, hoping to decimate its people, force them
to rebel against their government or cry uncle.

The discord that have plagued this gathering, are the fruits of the
sordid behavior of the United States during the past two centuries,
with which, everyone living south of the rio Grande can relate to
their own experience with the colossus from the north. Be it,
depriving Mexico of 1/3 of its territory, imposing naval bases on
Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Panama, Ecuador and who knows where else,
gobbling up the most fertile lands in our countries, controlling all
important industries, banking and infrastructure in each nation under
its domain or by instilling its egoisti c sentiments and its
insatiable consumerism and drug addition, have corrupted the minds of
our people.

Cuba have suffered like no other country in this region at the hands
of 10 different Presidents of the United States, which have hardened
its people to withstand 10 other US Presidents if need be.

Most objective and impartial individuals around the world believes
that the administration of Barack Obama have taken an honest and
sincere approach to solve a litany of intractable problems accrued by
the United States over years of neglect. Still, some of his efforts
seems to have stalled or placed on the back burner by members in his
administration, still caught up in their visceral anti-communism,
which was graphically expressed in the absurd position of the US
State Department posture in Honduras.

Then today, in the clearest expression ever, of Latin America and the
Caribbean nations arriving at full adulthood, they inflicted a
resounding defeat to a set of demands the US State Department wanted
to impose upon Cuba, as a pre-condition for it to rejoin this
community of nations.

Winners or losers are of no consequence. What really matters is the
pride, respect our region have earned, in the words of Fander
Falconi, Ecuadorian Foreign Relations Minister when he declared: This
is a moment of rejoicing for all of Latin America, or still a more
incisive statement from President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras when he
stated: The Cold War have ended in San Pedro Sula. We begin=2 0a new
era of fraternity and tolerance.

Long Live Latin America, for achieving its absolute Independence,
Dignity and Sovereignty, after 500 years of impositions, submissions
and indignities.

1. Good to hear from Alberto Jones. He should know whereof he speaks
when the subject is Cuba.

I think he just may be pleased over this! He's not alone, is he?

Thanks!

3. Chávez: Readmission of Cuba to OAS marks the "beginning of a new age"
Chávez: Readmission of Cuba to OAS marks the "beginning of a new age"
CARACAS, Wednesday June 03, 2009

Chávez highlighted the fact that the member countries of the Bolivarian Alternative for the People of Our America (ALBA) attended the 39th OAS General Assembly, held in Honduras, with a common proposal

Western Hemisphere

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez stated that by abrogating the resolution that had excluded Cuba from the Organization of American States (OAS), the Latin American countries showed that they are not "US colonies." He added that the move amounts to the "beginning of a new age."

The Venezuelan ruler highlighted the fact that the member countries of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) attended the 39th OAS General Assembly, held in Honduras, with a common proposal intended to call for the end of "the injustice against the Cuban people," state-run news agency ABN quoted.

"We are no longer the peoples the US empire used to drag and devastate. Here, we have dignity. From the heart of ALBA, a question emerged: Why is Cuba not (in the OAS) if the reality has changed compared to 60 years ago, when the United States forced people in this continent to severe ties with Cuba," said Chávez.

Further, he added that hemispheric body's decision to readmit Cuba after its exclusion in 1962 means "the beginning of a new age."
