US State Department bans Songwriter Silvio Rodriguez from Visiting the United States
HAVANA, Cuba, May 4 . The US Department of State, headed by Hillary Clinton, banned renowned Cuban songwriter and singer Silvio Rodriguez from travelling to the United States, where he had been invited to an homage gala for the 90th birthday of legendary US musician Pete Seeger.
In a message sent by Rodriguez to her sister and manager in Havana, he says that on May 1 he checked the webpage of the American embassy in Paris, from where he was expected to fly to New York on May 2, and he found that his visa application was delayed in process, what made him return to Havana.
“Today is May 1 and it is 8:40pm in Paris. I just connected online to the United States Embassy site in France, where information is published regarding visa solicitations. My visa application is listed as being in process, the same status that it has maintained since I made the application. Today being the day that I was to fly to New York, and given that the visa has still not appeared, tomorrow I will leave instead for Havana,” Silvio wrote.
Silvio considered the attitude assumed by the US State Department a lack of respect towards the persons who invited him to the homage of the US musician. “You can pass this message to Pete's grandson Tao, and to Bill the attorney, along with my gratitude for their efforts as well as my sorrow resulting from the lack of respect shown by the State Department to them for having invited me to celebrate the 90th birthday of our dear friend Pete Seeger, living legend of North American song,” the message reads.
Pete Seeger (born May 3, 1919 in New York) has been five times to Cuba and he has been very critical of the nearly-50-year US economic, financial and commercial blockade of Cuba.
“I believe that the attitude of the State Department is very contradictory, given the desire expressed by President Obama to bring the United States closer to Cuba. As a Cuban cultural worker, I continue to feel blockaded and discriminated against by other governments.
Hopefully this will truly change someday.”

Epidemic Influenza A H1N1 Spreads to 20 Countries with 985 Cases
HAVANA, Cuba, May 4 (acn) The pandemic Influenza A H1N1 has already spread to 20 countries of the world, with 985 confirmed cases, according to most recent update by the World Health Organization (WHO).
According to information posted on the WHO Webpage [http://www.who.int/en/] Mexico has reported 590 laboratory confirmed human cases of infection, including 25 deaths. The higher number of cases from Mexico reflects ongoing testing of previously collected specimens. The United States has reported 226 laboratory confirmed human cases, including one death.
Laboratory tests in several countries have confirmed cases with no deaths, the WHO reports and cites Austria (1), Canada (85), China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (1), Costa Rica (1), Colombia (1), Denmark (1), El Salvador (2), France (2), Germany (8), Ireland (1),
Israel (3), Italy (1), Netherlands (1), New Zealand (4), Republic of Korea (1), Spain (40), Switzerland (1) and the United Kingdom (15).
The WHO reiterates that the consumption of well-cooked pork and derivatives poses no risk of infection. The international organization does not suggest any restrictions on trips or border closures. However, it is considered prudent for sick people to put off international trips, and those who show flu-relative symptoms after taking an international tour must receive medical attention, according to indications by national authorities, the WHO says.

CUBA: A TERRORIST COUNTRY?
Thursday, April 30 was unlucky for the United States. On that day it occurred to them to include Cuba yet again on the list of terrorist countries. Committed as they are to their own crimes and lies, perhaps even Obama himself was unable to untangle himself from that mess. A man whose talent nobody denies must feel ashamed about the empire’s cult of lie. Fifty years of terrorism against our Homeland come to light in an instant.
What can one explain to those who know about the horrific event of a plane blown up in mid flight, with its passengers and crew, about the participation of the United States in the events, the recruiting of Orlando Bosch and Posada Carriles, and the supplying of explosives, funds and the complicity of the intelligence agencies and the authorities of that country? How can one explain the campaign of terror that preceded and followed the mercenary invasion of the Bay of Pigs, the attacks on our coasts, towns, transport and fishing vessels, the terrorist actions inside and outside of the United States? How can one explain the hundreds of frustrated assassination plots on the lives of Cuban leaders? What can one say about the introduction of viruses such as hemorrhagic dengue and swine fever that genetically had never even existed in the hemisphere? I am merely mentioning some of the acts of terror in which the United States has played a part, the ones recorded in their own declassified documents. Don’t these events embarrass the current administration?
I could put together an endless list of abhorrent activities.
At our request, Bruno Rodríguez, Minister of Foreign Affairs, sent me the exact words used by a France-Presse reporter to ask him a question on April 30, along with his compelling answer.
Rigoberto Díaz, of AFP: “Coinciding with the final moments of this meeting and also on a subject that has been dealt with during this event, the US government has once more included Cuba on the list of countries sponsors of terrorism along with Sudan, Iran and Syria. I would like to hear your opinion on this.”
Bruno’s reply:
“We do not recognize any political or moral authority to the US government to make any list on any subject, or to “certify” good or bad behavior.
The Bush government was “certified” by world public opinion as a government violating international law; as being aggressive and war-mongering; as a government that tortures and that is responsible for extrajudicial executions.
“Bush has been the only president who has boasted in public, in the US Congress, about having carried out extrajudicial executions. That is a government which kidnapped people and transported them illegally, created secret prisons that nobody knows whether they are still in existence, and a concentration camp where torturing is going on in the part of territory usurped from the Republic of Cuba.
“In the matter of terrorism, the US government has historically held a long record of State terrorism acts, not only against Cuba.
“In the US, Orlando Bosch and Posada Carriles are free to come and go; these two who are responsible for numerous terrorist acts including the blowing up of a civilian Cuban plane in mid-flight. There is no answer to Venezuela’s official request for the extradition of Posada Carriles who is being tried for various charges, but not as a notorious international terrorist.
“The US government held a travesty of a trial against the five young Cuban anti-terrorist activists who are today being held as political prisoners in its jails.
“The US government covers up acts of State terrorism committed by Israel against the Palestinian people and the Arab peoples. And, it kept silent before the crimes taking place in the Gaza Strip.
“Therefore one shouldn’t recognize that the United States has any moral authority whatsoever, and I, frankly, believe that nobody pays any attention or reads those documents, among other things, because the author is an international outlaw in many of the matters which it criticizes.
“Cuba’s position against all manifestations and forms of terrorism, wherever they may be committed, against any state that may be affected, in any form it may be carried out, for whatever purpose, is clear and consistent with its actions.
“Cuba has been the victim of terrorism for many years and it has a completely clean record in this matter. Cuban territory has never been used to organize, fund or execute terrorist acts against the United States of America. The State Department which issues those reports cannot say the same.”
This declaration, issued at the ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Countries, is not yet widely known by the population which in these days has been receiving plenty of news of all kinds. If the State Department wishes to discuss this with Bruno, there is sufficient information to bury it in its own lies.

Epidemic Influenza A H1N1 Spreads to 17 Countries with 787 Cases
HAVANA, Cuba. The pandemic Influenza A H1N1 has already spread to 17 countries of the world, with 787 confirmed cases, 20 deaths included, according to most recent information by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The international organization posted its update number 11 on its webpage [http://www.who.int/en/] on Sunday reading that only in Mexico, authorities confirmed 506 people infected with the flu, 19 of them died. The noticeable increase in the figure over the past 48 hours is due to the release of lab tests, whose samples were previously collected, so it does not indicate an increase in the spread of the disease.
Media reports from Mexico say that the authorities in the Central American nation have taken tough measures in an effort to stop the spread of the epidemic; such actions include interruption of labor, school and church activities to avoid concentrations of people in sites, which favors the
spread of the disease.
The WHO update assures that the United States has confirmed 160 cases in labs, plus a death. The rest of the countries that have reported the presence of the flu include Austria (1), Canada (70), China (1), Costa Rica (1), Denmark (1), France (2), Germany (6), Ireland (1), Israel (3), Holland (1), New Zealand (4), The Republic of Korea (1), Spain (13), Switzerland (1) and U.K. (15).
The WHO does not suggest any restrictions on trips or border closures.
However, it is considered prudent for sick people to put off international
trips, and those who show flu-relative symptoms after taking an international tour must receive medical attention, according to indications by national authorities, the WHO says.
The population has been advised to regularly wash their hands with water and soap and request medical attention in the face of any flu-related symptom.
A joint declaration issued by the WHO, the World Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) addresses the first information released from the beginning about the disease being a swine epidemic that transferred to the human genre as
follows:
There are no records that viruses with the flu can be transmitted to human beings through the consumption of process pork or pork derivatives. The cooking heat applied on the meat (70 Celsius degrees at the center of the piece) immediately kills any virus that could be present in the raw meat.
"However, as a top security measure the suggestion is that "authorities and
consumers should make sure not to process meat of sick pigs or any found
death for human consumption under any circumstance."
