Prisoner
release in cuba
misinterpreted by US media
14 July 2010:
US media are sure to misinterpret every story they tell you about Cuba,
because they misinterpret Cuba, both on purpose and because they really
don't understand it. I don't fully understand Cuba's decision, now, to
move some prisoners to facilities closer to their families, and to release
others, though, apparently unlike The Times, I have read Cuba's
explanation, which is appended below. But I can tell you some things to
help uncorkscrew the misinterpretation you get from The Times or
from Hillary Clinton doing photo ops.
First, if you believe there are "rogue states"
(besides the US), whose leaders Continue
Any
American can go to
Cuba as his own reporter
This document
argues that any American, even under the so-called "Cuban travel ban,"
has the existential and constitutional right to go to Cuba as his own
reporter without anyone's permission except possibly Cuba's. Read

Cubans
choose socialism
On a 6-week
2002 tour of Cuba, I surveyed 100 random Cubans about a petition reportedly
signed by 98% of eligible voters to lock socialism into their constitution
after George Bush accused Cuba of bio-terrorism involvement and Jimmy
Carter refuted the lie from Cuba but also urged Cubans to adopt the American
way. See Survey

2004: SOUTH AMERICA COMPARED TO CUBA:
In the summer and fall of '04, the author toured
eight South American countries to compare the "emerging western
style free enterprise democracies" to Cuba, because, as members
of the OAS and the UN, these countries are regularly armtwisted into
censuring Cuba as the only country in the hemisphere still not "free."
In three extensive documents listed below, the author confirms that,
logically, it should be Cuba that censures the other countries, since
only Cuba is free of a significant list of oppressive attributes found
everywhere else, as these documents attest.
