 Jeff Jacoby: "Writing the truth about Cuba"

 By José Reyes    11/26/2007 

         Jeff Jacoby is an OP/ED (Opinion/Editorial) columnist for the Boston Globe, where his conservative voice offers a notable contrast to the paper's predominantly liberal view. His outstanding columns appear in the Globe twice a week, and he has often turned his attention to what he calls "the world's longest-lived....

En mi libro La Ficción Fidel (Planeta, 2008) jamás propongo

la venganza para el futuro de Cuba, pero sí la justicia que

hace 50 años nos merecemos; justicia y transición

pacífica\ con vergüenza. Además, cito tres países como ejemplos de transición pacífica: España, Chile y la República Checa. Esta última muy cercana a nosotros a causa del comunismo y que, además, ha crecido con gran dignidad.

Ahora, a los pocos  días del aniversario del hundimiento del remolcador 13 de Marzo, un 13 de julio de 1994, a manos de

la dictadura cubana (74 personas perdieron la vida, entre ellas 12 niños), también..

     

“Algo que hiere la sensibilidad de las personas, en cualquier sistema social, es el irrespeto a su privacidad. Antes, por ejemplo, las leyes protegían la correspondencia. Más tarde la protección se extendió a las comunicaciones telefónicas, un medio de comunicación más rápido e instantáneo. Las leyes de Estados Unidos prohibían su intercepción sin permiso judicial. Su violación daba lugar a demandas judiciales, que en es país llegaron a elevarse a cuantiosas sumas.”

               The Cuban Dollar(s)?  A Total Hypocrisy!!! The Citizens of Cuba Excluded! ??

Tuesday October 26, 2004              Resolution No. 80/2004          BCC (Spanish)     In English

 

             I guess the members of the Castro Regime Are "Not Cuban" anymore, but they own the money, confusing!!!

 

The CUC-The Cuban Convertible Dollar

 

The official currency is the Cuban peso. In Cuba , all purchase and services are made with Cuban convertible pesos (CUC). Cuban convertible pesos exchange can be made in hotels, airports, banks and exchange booths (CADECA S.A. ).

Financial transactions are made in euros, Canadian dollars, sterling pounds and Swiss francs. A surcharge of 10% is applied to the exchange of US dollars by Cuban convertible pesos. The exchange rate of the CUC for all currencies is revaluated in an 8%.

Traveller cheques are allowed and also credit cards such as Cabal, Transcard, Visa, MasterCard and Amigo TRAVEL Card if they had not been emitted by US banks or their branches.....

 

 

     The Cuban Peso (CUP)

 

There are some scams and cheats in the streets of Cuba, based on the ignorance of the common traveler of the differences between the Convertible and Not Convertible Pesos. Since December 2004, the rate of change of the Cuban Peso with the Convertible Peso is of 1/24. However it is important to know that, only plain Cuban Pesos are accepted while accessing to a limited number of products/services, like, public transport, buying market food, or having local street food....

                          LA PATRIA ES DE TODOS/ THE HOMELAND BELONGS TO US ALL

                                                                                                            

INTRODUCCION

Cuando usted termine de leer este documento, nos podrá apoyar si coincidimos en el planteamiento inicial:

El hombre no puede vivir de la historia, que es lo mismo que vivir del cuento; se necesitan bienes materiales, satisfacer su espiritualidad y de hecho poder mirar para el futuro con expectativas, pero además, un espacio que todos conocemos como libertad.

El gobierno cubano ignora la palabra "oposición": los que no comparten su política o simplemente no la apoyan son considerados enemigos y cualesquiera otros sustantivos despectivos que se les desee proferir. Así también han querido dar una nueva acepción a la palabra "Patria", vinculada distorsionadamente con Revolución, Socialismo y Nación.

     Pretenden ignorar que, por definición, "Patria" es el país en que se nace.

INTRODUCTION

indent When you finish reading this document, you will be able to support us if we can agree on this initial assertion:

indent Man cannot live from history, which is the same as living from stories. There is a need for material goods and for satisfying his spirituality, as well as to be able to look to the future with expectations. But there is also a need for that openness that we all know as freedom.

indent The Cuban government ignores the word "opposition." Those of us who do not share its political stance, or who just simply don't support it, are considered enemies and any number of other scornful designations that it chooses to proclaim. Thus, they have also sought to give a new meaning to the word "Homeland" that is distortedly linked to Revolution, Socialism and Nation.

   They attempt to ignore the fact that "Homeland," by definition, is the country in which one is born.
