The question of the death of an Orlando Zapata Tamayo public Argentine political analyst wrote Attilio Boron appeared on Cuban Archive site. If anyone still had doubts about the reality and function of the media "democratic" I think you will find food for thought. See you another interesting reflection of Salim Lamrani on the same topic.
Cuba: the suicide of a "dissident"
Atilio Borón
Demonstrating once again his proverbial lack of scruples, El País of Madrid has informed the public, in the digital edition of 27 February, which
"The Cuban dissidents continued to agitate for the death of prisoner of conscience Orlando Zapata Tamayo. "
This is a totally false information, whose intention is nothing more than to bring grist to the mill of the constant campaign of attacks and aggressions against the Cuban Revolution, and then feeding the prejudices of the majority of readers of the newspaper not always have the time, the ability or interest to support la veridicità delle notizie che ricevono dai grandi mezzi di comunicazione.
Per fortuna, una nota pubblicata dal prestigioso intellettuale cubano Enrique Ubieta Gómez ci permette di fare luce su questo penoso episodio e di smontare la bugia ordita dal giornale madrileno ( http://www.archivocubano.org/varia/zapata.html ).
Nella nota si dimostra che il cosiddetto "prigioniero di coscienza" non era tale; proprio per questo non è mai apparso nella lista dei "prigionieri politici" elaborata dalla ormai sciolta Commissione dei Diritti Umani dell'ONU nel 2003, rimpiazzata — a causa dei suoi vizi e della sua manifesta arbitrarietà to serve the interests of the United States - from the Human Rights Council. How is it that a "prisoner of conscience" whose identification with the political project led him to sacrifice himself for not betraying his ideas have gone unnoticed before the watchful eyes of the Commission?
The answer is simple: Zapata Tamayo, tells us Ubieta Gómez, was a prisoner whose common problems with the law began in 1988, ie, fifteen years before the drafting of the famous list. In his long criminal career has been on trial for "trespass" (1993), "less serious injury" (2000), "fraud" (2000), "injury and possession of weapon "(2000: injury and fracture of the skull with a machete against a person)," alteration of order "and" public disorder "(2002), as you can see no accusation has to do with political protest, on the contrary are all common crimes.
In a moment of generosity, the Cuban justice has ruled that Zapata was released on bail on 9 March 2003. A few days later he returned to commit a crime and is then arrested again and sentenced to three years in prison. This time, however, the sentence is increased because of aggressive behavior within the prison. It is precisely at this very moment is his miraculous metamorphosis: the criminal, arrested several times for numerous crimes, becomes a citizen who decides to dedicate his life to the promotion of "freedom" and "democracy" in Cuba Cleverly recruited from the fields of "political dissidents" Cuban increasingly eager to have a martyr in its thin ranks, urged the irresponsibly and with total disregard for his person to carry out a hunger strike until the end, perhaps in exchange for promises that the time which certainly will not take long to clear up.
The victim in this case is very instructive to understand the morality of those who strive for "regime change" in Cuba, but also the ethics of the media as El País and the like, which put their immense media power, training and deformation of the conscience to serve the causes most ignoble. For example, nobody says that the wretched life of a suicide was obviously manipulated by the "dissidents" and their principals who pretend to pass off as "prisoner of conscience" a person who was nothing but a common criminal. Of course, by silencing the self-styled "political dissidents" is actually something quite different: the Trojan horse dell'anelata restoration of imperialist domination in Cuba
They are called "dissidents" who were filmed while receiving large sums of money within the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, for the financing of subversive activities against the Constitution and laws of the Republic. That is, to work with the government of a country that for nearly half a century has declared war on Cuba, which maintains an economic blockade against the island unanimously convicted criminal by the international community and has implemented over six hundred assassination attempts leader of the Cuban Revolution.
How to react if Washington today sorprendesse a group of citizens, in the Embassy of Afghanistan in Washington, receiving large sums of money, equipment for communication and practical advice on how to overthrow the U.S. government? El País would consider these subversive of "political dissidents" or traitors?
Moreover, unlike what happened with the Cuban mercenaries, the most likely thing is that the U.S. would be immediately condemned and accused of the infamous crime of treason because of their blatant anti-patriotic and collaboration with a power enemy. For much less than described, the "American democracy" put in the electric chair in 1953, Mr and Mrs Julius and Ethel Rosenberg after a process (such as attuale contro i 5) che è stato una vera e propria beffa giudiziaria.
Niente di tutto ciò avviene a Cuba. E ovviamente l'opinione pubblica mondiale non viene informata a proposito. Nell'isola caraibica non esistono carceri segrete, legalizzazione della tortura, spostamenti di prigionieri per poi essere torturati in paesi terzi, desaparecidos , voli illegali, detenzioni arbitrarie senza processi e altre pratiche che invece vengono quotidianamente adottate nelle prigioni statunitensi e messe a tacere dalla "stampa seria" la cui missione è di informare. Per la stampa dell'impero, come El País , tutto ciò sono semplici minuzie senza importanza. Gli affari is business and if you have to lie, you lie a thousand times with the confidence that gives impunity conferred by impotence, and apathy by the credulity of his readers, asleep by the propaganda and diligently abbruttiti and misinformed by the mass media.
In a brilliant passage The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte , Marx said that before becoming an orphan, Bonapartist counter-revolution in the paintings and the heroes were from lumpenproletariato Paris. The same thing happens in our day with the self-appointed leaders of freedom and democracy in Cuba and their accomplices in the "serious press" international. So if you have to say that Barabbas was Jesus Christ, they say. And if goes without saying that Zapata Tamayo was a "prisoner of conscience" is also said that, no problem.
