OBAMA HAS NO EASY TASK | Reflections by Comrade Fidel

I remember that, when I visited the People’s Republic of Poland, during Gierek’s government, I was taken to Osviecim, the most notorious of all concentration camps. There I learned about the horrible crimes committed by the Nazis against Jewish children, women and senior citizens, which resulted from the implementation of the ideas contained in the book Mein Kampf written by Adolph Hitler. Those ideas had been implemented before at the time when the territory of the USSR was invaded in the quest for vital space. By that time, the governments of London and Paris incited the Nazi chief against the Soviet State.

The Soviet army liberated the prisoners kept at Osviecim and those of almost all the Nazi concentration camps, condemned those events and took pictures and films which traveled around world.

Obama spoke at the Buchenwald concentration camp, within the German territory. A granduncle of his, who is still alive and was accompanying him at the rally, had helped to release the prisoners of that camp.

The most important activity he carried out in Europe was his attendance to the celebration of the 65^th anniversary of the Normandy landing, where he pronounced a second speech. He went out of his way to praise Dwight Eisenhower, who commanded the landing. He recognized, in all fairness, the courage of the American soldiers who fought down a few kilometers of coastline, with the support of the US and the British navy and of thousands of planes that came mostly from the US factories. The paratroopers divisions were not dropped at the most correct positions and therefore the battle extended unnecessarily.

The bulk of Hitler’s army and its elite divisions had been annihilated by Soviet soldiers at the Russian front, after they recovered from the damages caused by the first military attack. The resistance put up by the city of Leningrad to a prolonged siege, the combats waged by the Siberian divisions a few kilometers away from Moscow, and the battles of Stalingrad and of the Kursk salient will go down in the history of wars as some of the most significant and decisive events.

Obama, who spoke at the celebration of the 65^th anniversary of the Normandy landing, thanks to which, as can be inferred from his speech, Europe was liberated, dedicated only 15 words to speak about the role played by the USSR --hardly 1.2 words per every 2 million Soviet citizens who died in that war. That was not fair.

After the end of that bloody war, Iran, which played a significant role in that war given its natural resources and its geographical position, was turned by the United States into its strongest and better armed gendarme in that strategic Asian region.

The Iranian people, led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, with the masses unarmed and ready to make any sacrifice, overthrew the powerful Shah of Iran. That happened during the last two years of the government of Jimmy Carter, who suffered the first consequences of the wrong foreign policy of the United States. That policy shortened his mandate and facilitated Ronald Reagan’s coming to power.

The Shah died on July 27, 1980, in Cairo, the same city where Obama delivered his speech on June 4 last.

The absurd war between Iraq and Iran which began in 1980 lasted 8 years and was not caused by Khomeini. Reagan got as much as he could out of it. He first sold weapons to Iran. With those weapons and the revenues from drug trafficking he funded the dirty war against Nicaragua, thus evading the decisions adopted by the Congress whereby it refused to grant funds for that cruel adventure that took the life of so many ‘Sandinista’ youths. Reagan supported Iraq’s war against Iran.

The US government authorized the supply of raw materials, technology and gases for the chemical war against Iran, which killed tens of thousands of soldiers of that country; the civil population was severely affected. American companies collaborated in the manufacturing of chemical weapons. Besides, satellites provided the necessary information for all land operations; 600 000 Iranians and 400 000 Iraqis died in that war; hundreds of billions of dollars were spent by those two major oil producing countries before both parties accepted the peace project drafted by the United Nations.

It is not an easy task for a US President to deliver a speech at the Muslim University of Al-Azhar of Cairo. Nor is it to be expected that the Iranians and the Arabs would feel very enthusiastic about said speech.

Humboldt and Gauss in the Streets of Havana

The German Culture Festival brought Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) once again to the streets of Havana, this time accompanied by his compatriot Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855), known as the Prince of Math, one of the men who anticipated the course of non-Euclidian Geometry.

GERMAN NOVELIST Daniel Kehlmann.

The two learned men came hand in hand with the novel La medición del mundo (Measuring the World), a book that has become one of the most internationally resounding successes from that European country’s field of letters in this first decade of the new millennium. It was presented at the house named after the German naturalist, located in Old Havana’s historical area.

The novel, taking a meeting between Humboldt and Gauss, recreates the parallel lives of these men who lived in the same epoch, but the author takes good care not to offer a biographical version.

La medición del mundo, on the contrary, goes for the delusions and certainties of their intellectual and human concerns, for the nobility and misfortunes of the two men, and has an imaginative literary construction that takes the novelist close to the resources of Latin American magic realism.

It’s an enjoyable narration that includes, besides the main characters, others like a declining Emmanuel Kant, a Daguerre that nervously wants to capture a blurred picture, and a heretical and hedonistic Bompland, very different from the pale image usually given of Humboldt’s American adventure companion.

Daniel Kehlmann (Munich, 1975) studied philosophy and literature and lives in Vienna. His first novel was published when he was 22 years old. But it was Yo y Kaminski (Kaminski and I), published in 2003, that won him both the favor of critics and the public for the first time. His novel Ich und Kaminski (Yo y Kaminski, Barcelona, 2005), from 2003, gave him world fame. With La medición del mundo (2005) he has experienced the great leap forward.

"I wanted to write like a crazy historian", he said when asked what was true and what wasn’t in a story that, although it’s a tribute to memory and intelligence, contradicts the rigorous Cartesian codes of European rationalism.

The author has won the Kleist Prize, one of the most illustrious German awards, and was a finalist in the Deutscher Buchpreis (German Book Prize / PEDRO DE LA HOZ).

Lazo Calls for Rational Use of Resources During the Summer

Politburo member Esteban Lazo Hernández said that organizations should offer the Cuban people, especially the youth, a summer vacation plenty of leisure, cultural and sports activities, but making better use of resources, savings and with austerity.

Lazo, who is also Vice President of the Council of State, presided over a meeting with representatives of the Young Communist League (UJC), student and grassroots organizations, as well as heads of ministries and institutions involved in the summer recreational programs.

Lazo noted the importance of prioritizing the help to those damaged by the hurricanes that hit the country last year, especially in those areas where schools and houses have not been repaired.

He said that the facilities devoted to cultural and youth activities in each municipality and people’s council, should host multiple activities. Here’s where the most important event are to take place.

Although this summer finds Cuba at a complex juncture economically speaking, he said that it coincides with the vacation of students and workers, and therefore, all the facilities, movie theaters, social clubs, TV and radio shows, should increase their offers to the public, but they should also continue to save resources and meet the electricity plan.

Julio Martínez, UJC first secretary, presented the initial program, which calls for integration and creativity, and will be devoted to the 50^th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. (AIN / Alina Martínez)

Danger: a murderer walks loose; the tobacco

By:Ernesto Pantaleón Medina / Television Camagüey

This that I write doesn't seek to be a journalistic work, but an intent that you that reads these lines and it is smoking active (because the passive are its victims) tries to think of the following paragraphs as a conversation, and in the one that edits, like one of those friends, bigger in age and something persuasive to who is listened with attention, and whose advice continue (clear, after subjecting them in the own opinion).

Every year more than five million people in the world die for direct cause of the bad habit of smoking.

The tobacco is annually the cause of the l2% of the deaths of adults.

33% of the deaths for cancer is due to the tobacco, and in the case of the lung cancer, the smoke of the cigarette is causing of 80-90% of the cases.

In moments in that we all fight to save the planet, to reduce the hole in the layer of ozone do determine to fill with non alone smoke the atmosphere, but the lungs of their fellow men, included the family?

In a time in that millions of people claim it free will, hindered by some economic or military powers, are not able to, smoking friend, to impose them that breathe a smoke that the slow bush, but inexorably.

And this message also goes to the industry of the nicotine: Instead of those designs more or less attractiveness and some shy warning message or deterrence, the packs should have stamped a skull with the two crossed tibias.

A high percentage of the homes of the world counts with at least a smoker that commits suicide, attentive against the family economy and also, it poisons the dearest beings, everything unpunishedly.

Then, would it suit with me in that that murderer that the tobacco is, walks loose, and mass bush… do I try to impede it and you that will make starting from this moment?

Between myths and realities in the history of the Cuban cinema

By: Yuldys Márquez Díaz \ Camagüey Television

To break up with the myths is an act, more than of everything, of courage; to try to persuade the human beings that believe or not, in such or more which history, it can be to rain on that wet, but in spite of it, the cinema space debates denominated "Symbolic City", favored by the Center of Cinema and the National Union of Artists of Cuba and that is carried out every Wednesday in the Video Room New World of Camagüey, it proposed in its last edition the topic of two myths that are about in the history of the cinema: the "icaicentrism" and the call author focus when counting the history of the Cuban cinema.

The specialist Juan Antonio García who alternates these debates with Armando Pérez Census, observed like when counting the history of the Cuban cinema, erroneously we think that the kilometer zero is with the inauguration of the Cuban Institute of Film Industry (ICAIC), thought that reinforces the thesis of a version "icaicentrist" of the matter. But this is not real, because are all the productions carried out in Cuba that don't respond to the interests of the ICAI, out as is the silent cinema , the prerrevolucionary sound cinema, the productions of the International school of Cinema San Antonio de los Baños, fílmics studies of the Revolutionary Armed forces, also the fílmics studies of television, the cinema creation clubs, etc..

The expert also conversed on how the history of the Cuban cinema was counted starting from the impressions of those denominated cinema critics, it is the history that go counting and canonizing at the same time, "this is the good thing and this is the bad thing". TO that history, story or not, objective in its moment and why not, subjective in occasions, it would be necessary to add him the experience of the cinema in Cuba. For example that importance had in its moment the arrival of materials of filming of Czechoslovakia and not of United States that the one that was used up to 1961, was and other so many example could make an appointment this way so that was the true history of the cinema in Cuba.

The specialist assures that if we have to look for the kilometer zero of the history of the Cinema in Cuba, is not in fact in the ICAIC, is necessary to go outside and to find it in those first productions that led the ICAIC in time. Also to build this history asserts that "it would be necessary to formulate and to think instead of a group of movies, a group of practical."

The space that has as objective the debate film, also proposed and like complement, the evaluation of the aesthetics captured in the documentaries "P.M." carried out by Sabad Cabrera and Orlando Jiménez in 1961 and "NOW" of Santiago Álvarez; besides a sequence of the movie "Memoirs of the Underdevelopment."
