GO AHEAD WITH THE TROPICAL CARNATIONS REVOLUTION...All those that for years, like us, have tried to establish contacts with part of the senior leadership of castroist military structure (major, lieutenant colonel, colonel and brigadier general --the highest senior officer recommended--), with no blood on their hands, which are usually those who hold the direct command of troops, and ministerial-level technocrats with similar characteristics, logically excluding the infamous cream that has surrounded the tyrant and his brother (Alarcon, Ramiro Valdes and other thugs), we can join forces in order to negotiate the structuring of a transitional government, which at the same time ensure the order and prevent internal creation or entry to the country of organized crime groups, and start taking the steps to the political and economic liberation of Cuba, creating the conditions for the election of an Assembly that will return to Cubans its social contract (with the required amendments to the legitimate Constitution, 1940, to conform to the present constraints and realities) and establishing the basis for economic takeoff.
To be more explicit, we need something like the government of Dr. Federico Laredo Bru, which institutionalized the country through the 1940 Constitution, with the difference that the former was a constitutional process and this will be a restoration one.
A concerted civil-military command should be established, headed by an Institutional Council (state) which consists of 33 members with full authority during the transition and like powers that holds His Majesty the King of Spain, once democracy has been restored, and the integration planned with the European Union and institutional stability have become an irreversible reality:
- Nine members of the internal opposition. Including Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet Gonzalez (first Head of the Council), the noted activist and former political prisoner Jorge Luis Garcia Perez Antunez, economist Martha Beatriz Roque Cabello, etc. until the total of nine.
- Eight technocrats of the structure. They could be people with similar characteristics to the reformist Humberto Perez.
- Eight members of the armed forces who will become the general command of all armed forces, including law enforcement forces, intelligence and counterintelligence. The Interior Ministry and the so called F.A.R. must be purged and merged into a single ministry (Defense and Public Order). They should never be senior officers with grades higher than Brigadier General (the higher rank after colonel). The rest of the officers of equal rank or higher (Generals) should be passed to retirement. In individual cases of capital crimes (especially murder) those responsible must be brought to court.
- Eight representatives of the organizations that can prove to be the most representative of exile. Must be elected by the Patriotic Board, Brothers to the Rescue, the Municipalities of Cuba in Exile, the Cuban American National Foundation, some organizations of political prisoners, and all other exile organizations willing to make patriotic coalition based exclusively on the interests of the Cubans on the island and exile.
For the first time, after half a century, we have the opportunity to achive the restoration of Cuba and to launch a project of country, freedom and progress, which could be the surprise of the entire planet.
In order to make that to happen we must bring together all the active forces with the capacity to steer Cuba in the right direction, based on precise knowledge of the geopolitical realities and the dangers that may exist from adverse interests and Mephistophelian goals. Cubans, vital forces of the island and Cuban exile, solidary forces of Spain and Europe, we must be alert!.
It is no secret to anyone who is properly informed, that the first enemy of freedom in Cuba after Castro's tyranny has been the U.S. government. Within the long history of U.S. government complicity with the gangster group of Castro, apart from support for its establishment and maintenance in power, it is speculated that the CIA has warned the tyrant, at least six times, on actions that could have produced the liberation of the island. Such complicity has been tried to hide through a strategy of cheating the public, which has enjoyed the cooperation of sepoys, submissives and traitors who, to our shame, were born in Cuba.
As it has been rumored, this complicity is due to an unjust and infamous retaliation against the people of Cuba that was not the culprit, by powerful interests of a vindictive elite, because of certain actions in foreign policy from the government of Grau San Martin, the same elite that even now have investments in the slaved Cuba. We must be aware about that this is not an action by the common people, which is as innocent as were the Cubans under the government of Grau, it is an elite that has even regarded the common people as expendable.
I am a naturalized U.S. citizen, so, I would prefer that the reality regarding the conduct of the North American establishment (not the people) was different, however, when facing such overwhelming evidence, I must express, albeit with chagrin, that from them we can not expect anything good, that none of them has never felt so much anger against humiliation of tyranny over the enslaved Cuban people, relegated to a lower category than an outcast in his own country by a gang of rustlers tolerated and even protected by U.S. governments.
We must not misled ourselves, the establishment that only moves for their own interests and rapine, has smelled carrion, and his eyes are looking at what could be vast reserves of oil and natural gas in the Greatest of the Antilles.
As wisely said at the time by our apostle José MartÃ, freedom and progress of the sisters American republics pass for the fate of Cuba. For nearly half a century of tyranny on the island, in those countries has had a parallel sabotage against progress and stagnation when not a decline.
The best, the fairest and the most decent integration model for freedom and free enterprise in the history of mankind is the one that, sometimes facing adverse circumstances, has been developed in Europe, the same that can be extended to North America, gradually, under the condition that the United States will be subordinated to the European rules and not vice versa. Refusal to this alternative by the American establishment will become United States increasingly isolated, because surely Canada, Cuba and countries of Eastern Europe not yet integrated will be accepted, and Mexico-Central-South America, North Africa, Turkey and Russia could be integrated over time.
It has been incredibly nauseating the anti-democratic and anti-European attitude of Spanish characters like Judge Garzon and Prime Minister (president) Zapatero, for which, fortunately, there is a counterweight in Spain itself, (the decent attitude of Jose Bono is an example), in the Czech Republic and other European countries with decent governments. Despite not being able to count on the current Spanish government, the free and prosperous future of Cuba can be ensured by setting a schedule of transition to democracy, based on the most intimate and close ties with both the European Union and with the European heritage, and the expansion program of the supranational structure. Cuba could become the free and prosperous European platform for trade with the Western Hemisphere and, if Canada and the United States join to E.U., the permanent Headquarters of the Union for all activities relating to Hispanic America and Brazil. Must be avoided, at all costs, that our island continues being controlled, as it has been during decades of tyranny, by the wicked anti-Christian establishment that, inter alia, from the shadows, holds the real power in the United States, primarily by financing election campaigns, lobbyists and pressure groups.
It is imperative for the leadership of the transition the serene, deep and suspicious study of the ten points of the "Washington Consensus" and its whole complex range of measures or instruments. In my view there could not be a successful transition if the leadership does not have full awareness and knowledge of everything involving such items and the likely role of the action agencies of the European Union, Frankfurt, and even the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
It would be foolish not to stimulate the entry into the island of the U.S. capital in the form of investment. But this must be done only if a previous protection is built, sheltering the island under the same rules as the 27 European Union countries, to avoid the entry into Cuba, together with the American capital, of the proconsuls, who like in the past, could try to install governments tailored to their interests.
To our island, the ten-point of the so called "Washington consensus" could be implemented only under the condition that the Cuba transition is protected, again, by the same rules that protect the 27 countries that are currently members of the European Union, and also, that the balanced budget is achieved by ensuring that public spending should focus primarily on ensuring education, medical care and implementation of infrastructure works. The first point depends on the political decision of the European Union, which might be aware that any investment or action to the benefit of Cuba, will be fully recoverable, given the potential economic miracle that has the island in the short to medium term; due to its geographical position, natural resources, its successful exile and human resources, Cuba could pale to Ireland's economic growth. The second, for a country that begins to emerge from a long and disastrous totalitarian night of half a century, that it has sunk in poverty, could only be feasible by implementing measures, rules, laws and covenants of broad jurisdiction to ensure unequivocally the property and the investment as a way to stimulate the entry of billions of euros and dollars in investment, together with cohesion funds, long-term loans under low-interest, and other assistance, overseen by a European-Cuban team. This would be equivalent to the alert and careful deployment, when necessary, of almost all other points of that "consensus", at least those that are acceptable to the European Union.
