Pressure against the U.S. blockade of Cuba was so great that on the day Raúl categorically declared that our country would not join the OAS, the secretary of the discredited institution began to prepare the terrain for Cuba’s participation in an eventual future Summit of the Americas.
His recipe is to abolish the resolution which decided the expulsion of the Island for ideological reasons. Such an argument is truly laughable when important countries such as China and Vietnam, which the world today cannot do without, are being lead by Communist parties that were created on the same ideological foundations.
Historical events prove the hegemonic policies of the United States in our region and the disgusting role of the OAS as the hideous instrument of the powerful country.
Insulza’s formula consists of wiping the criminal agreement off the map. Raúl declared in Cumaná that Cuba would never rejoin the OAS. Using Marti’s scathing phrase, he expressed that first “the Southern sea would join the Northern sea, and a serpent would be born from the agle’s egg”.
At that same occasion, in response to an alleged gesture by Obama which offered a conversation with Cuba about democracy and human rights, he replied that the government of Cuba was willing to discuss any subject on the basis of the most absolute respect for the equality and
sovereignty of both countries. Our country knows full well the meaning and dignity of those words.
Among Obama’s public demands is the liberation of those imprisoned for their treacherous services to the United States which, during almost half a century, has been assaulting and blockading our Homeland.
Raúl stated that Cuba was willing to show clemency if the United States would receive them and if it would free the five Cuban anti-terrorist heroes.
However, both the government of the United States and the maggot’s nest inside and outside of Cuba have reacted with all kinds of arrogance.
AP and other cable news agencies have suggested divisions in the heart of our revolutionary leadership.
According to AP, “a prominent human rights activist” said that “most of the two hundred Cuban prisoners prefer serving long sentences on the Island rather than being exchanged for five Communist agents being held in prisons in the United States, as President Raúl Castro has
suggested.
“It is practically unanimous among the prisoners that they not be exchanged for soldiers who were arrested red-handed spying in the United States”, the agency stated, citing the head of the ill-named “Cuban Commission for Human Rights and Conciliation”. One would now have to
see who they would classify with this concept. Pope John Paul II made no difference between political and ordinary prisoners when he visited Cuba, and he sought clemency for a number of them. Actually, the majority of those classified as ordinary prisoners in the United States
are, generally speaking, the poorest and most discriminated against people.
“Nevertheless Obama –AP later goes on to say– could suffer serious political consequences if he were to agree to the exchange of five Communist agents who were condemned for spying in 2001. The leader of the group was implicated in the deaths of four Cuban exiles when their
planes were shot down by Cuban fighter planes in 2001.” Isn’t that cable an indirect threat to the president of the United States?
The alleged mercenary leader was a sectarian coming from the youth section of the former Communist Party that later joined the new party created by the Revolution. When we found ourselves in the necessity to disagree with the USSR for its incorrect decision to negotiate an
agreement for the October [Missile] Crisis with the United States without first consulting our country, the individual became an enemy of the Revolution. He served the superpower during the entire Bush term in office. Now he is enjoying the privilege of being instrumental in
threatening Obama.
AP says not one word about the life sentences passed on the Five Heroes in cooked trials, the lies concocted with the complicity of the authorities, the cruel treatment they have received and many more details related to the case. Those are the slanderous rumors being printed in much of the news media throughout the world.
Whenever the state of health of any of the mercenaries warrants it, the government of Cuba has never failed to show clemency, without the United States having to demand it.
On the other hand, the government of Cuba never used torture, something that is acknowledged by the world. The president of Cuba cannot order the assassination of an adversary. Has the new U.S. president condemned that horrible practice? If he does so, believe me that I shall not
hesitate to acknowledge the impression of sincerity he gave all of us at the beginning.
Tomorrow we shall be meeting again with Daniel. In less time than he had to wait in the LACSA plane under the intense tropical heat in Port of Spain, the Cuban plane will return him to his beloved homeland.

Argentineans Demand Freedom for Cuban Five
HAVANA, Cuba, April 24 (acn) Arbitrary actions committed against the Five Cuban anti-terrorists imprisoned in the United States were denounced at the 2nd Argentinean-Latin American Congress on Human Rights, held in the city of Rosario.
The incarceration and sentence of The Five (as they're internationally known) can't be analyzed without taking into account the policy of confrontation implemented by Washington against Cuba, said Vladimir Mirabal, from the Cuban embassy in Argentina, during the event.
He recalled that the terrorist activities organized against the archipelago from south Florida have resulted in thousands of victims,including killed and injured.
He stated that two of the main executors of these activities are Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch, both protected by US authorities.
Organized by the University of Rosario, the panel was presided over by Vice-Rector Eduardo Seminara, who emphasized the rigorous prison conditions of Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez,Ramón Labañino and Rene Gonzalez, Prensa Latina news agency reports.
Seminara gave details of the steps taken so far to obtain the release of The Five through the US justice system, while Dr. Leticia Faccendini explained the legal bases of the various presentations which express the need to declare the trial null so they can leave prison.
During the panel, new entities demonstrated their support for the demand for the release of The Five, among them the national committee of the Argentinean Workers Union.

Trapped By History
Daniel’s appearance on the National Television Round Table program went as I hoped. He spoke eloquently and he was persuasive, calm and irrefutable.
He gave no offence nor did he wish to offend any other Latin American country; he held firmly to the truth in every moment of his appearance: Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua, as ALBA spokesmen, rejected the idea that the Final Declaration was submitted as a matter of consensual
agreement, in no uncertain terms.
Through Daniel we learned that Obama himself acknowledged that he hadn’t even read that document which snuck through as the Official Summit Declaration. Telesur also broadcast the appearance live. It had wide coverage.
Daniel pronounced categorical concepts. “It was the censorship meeting. ‘Stop the blockade against Cuba!’: this was a unanimous outcry, with different nuances, but unanimous all the same.” He stated that: “There was a very good speech by President Rafael Correa when he
explained: “Elections do not mean democracy because a multiparty system is nothing other than a way to disintegrate a nation.” Daniel added that: “Cuba has a model where the people are not split up between green, red, yellow and orange. It’s simply the Cuban people, the citizens,
without those campaigns where the interests of big capital are at work.
It’s the Cuban people who elect their authorities without the stridency of elections in the bourgeois democracies imposed by the west.
“Courtesy does not erase ideological and political differences; it doesn’t erase reality. I wish to emphasize this because I observed a lot of star-struck attitudes among some of the heads of state and government just because they were shaking President Obama’s hand.” Alluding to the Pied Piper of Hamelin, he stated: “With his little flute and all the rats behind him, we are headed for the cliff. But Obama didn’t have the effect he wanted.”
“The United States hasn’t changed, as Raúl reminded us in Cumaná. It was a Republican administration that prepared the Bay of Pigs invasion and it was a Democratic administration that carried it out.
“We have a president of the United States who says we should forget about the past, but he is trapped in the past! Of 50 years of blockading Cuba! In 2004, when he was running for senator, he said that the blockade was terrible and that it had to be called off. They asked him the question at the press conference and now he replies that that was eons ago. He is telling us that he lies; it is the answer of a person who lies.
“He is declaring that the blockade of Cuba cannot be lifted. That Cuba should be thankful for the concessions recently made. They want to sell this as a change; it doesn’t even come close to the measures Carter took 30 years ago; it’s more like going backwards. They would like us to
forget about history.
“The OAS is dead. It is an unburied corpse.”
“African Unity has its own instrument. It isn’t France, it isn’t England; the former colonialists of these countries are not there; it’s the peoples of Africa that are there.
“Likewise, here we must be, the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean; and from those positions, from that dialogue, from that unity, we can talk to the North, talk to the United States and Canada, talk to the Europeans; in other words, engage in a dialogue with the countries of the North and defend our positions.
“What is also clear about this Summit is that the United States has not changed and Latin America and the Caribbean, we have indeed changed; we have changed and we are changing grasping tightly onto the roots of our history.”
He finally explains that “the document was dead and the policy of the carrot and the stick is still in effect because President Obama is trapped inside the structure of an empire”.

Cuban Dentists Use Locally Developed Product
HAVANA, Cuba, April 23 (acn) A tissue adhesive, Tisuacryl, developed by Cuban scientists, will start to be used in all of Havana’s dental services clinics, reported the Cuban Public Health Minister.
Armando Mojaiber, head of the sector in the ministry, told ACN that the product is expected to be used in the rest of the country once the required production volumes are reached and special storage areas are created, as the product has to be kept at low temperatures.
Mojaiber said the adhesive is a complement to the suture thread, and was designed to seal wounds or non-tense surgical cuts in the face or mouth of less than 4 cm in length.
The ampoules will be available in all dental clinics across the Havana City province, with medical prescription. They will be also distributed in the Hermanos Ameijeiras clinical-surgical hospital and at the Stomatology Faculty.
Mojáiber said the quality of the biomaterial has been proved by doctors since 2000, when it began to be used in the experimental stage.
Among the advantages of Tisuacryl, he mentioned the increase of the quality of medical services, saving of surgical time and suture materials, the rapid formation of scar tissue, its antiseptic properties and the fact that it is very easy to use.

Cuban Transplant Program Presented at Congress in Havana
HAVANA, Cuba, Apr 23 (acn) The Cuban model for the coordination of ransplants, and the donation of organs, tissue and cells, praised by world experts, was presented on Thursday at the 5th International Congress of Casualties, Emergencies and Intensive Care (URGRAV 2009) in
this capital.
Cuba is among the top 15 nations in this activity and its donor rate was 18 per million inhabitants in 2007, which places the archipelago in second position in Latin America, after Uruguay.
Experts state that the average of donors in the European Union, with 27 member nations, is 16.9 and that Cuba is above the United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany, among other countries.
This is due to the coordination structure extended throughout the archipelago, where there are more than 60 hospitals accredited for donations besides the centers where the surgical procedure is performed, the director if the National Center for Medical Emergencies, Dr Juan Alberto Falcón, told ACN.
He underlined that these achievements are possible thanks to the political will of the Cuban State and government for the development of this therapeutic method, which requires a high budgetary and organizational level, from the Public Health Ministry to hospital services.
The Cuban physician pointed out that this constitutes one of the strengths of the Cuban program, which has increased the number of patients benefiting from this practice, initiated in the archipelago in 1970 with kidney transplants and now adds up to 4,500, including those
of heart, liver, lung, cornea, and hemopoietic cells.
Falcón highlighted the solidarity, humanism and high spirit of altruism of the Cuban society, which makes it possible, amid a moment of sorrow and grief for the loss of a loved one, for families to be capable of authorizing donations to contribute to save the lives of other people
waiting for organs to be transplanted.
The scientific event, underway at Havana’s Convention Center until Friday, gathers experts from numerous countries and includes the 3rd International Congress of Nursing and the 2nd Forum of the Latin American Association for Cooperation in Medical Emergencies and Disasters.

Cuba Produces 100 Percent Organic Tomatoes
HAVANA , Cuba, April 23 (acn) The joint application of bioactive products and micro organisms in the fertilization and production processes allows Cuba to produce tomatoes 100 percent organic.
Doctor in Sciences Elein Terry, from the Phytotecnic Department at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (INCA), has combined concentrated doses of a micro organism, Azospirilum brasilense, with HMA Glomus (a fungus) and Biogras 16, a crop stimulant, to help reduce
fertilization using nitrogen.
The combination insures the growth of healthier and better plants ready for transplantation between 20 to 24 days after germination. It also helps increase the production by acting beneficially on the plants nutrition.
This combination guarantees an eco-friendly produce, while saving hard currency for the country, which usually needs to import nitrogen from foreign markets.
Terry explained this product was the result of joint research with Salta University, in Argentina, and added that it is already been used for different crops with great results in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, among other nations. Some countries has leased the technology and set up
plants to produce it under the advice given by INCA.
