THE WHY OF 50 YEARS OF CUBAN EXILE

THE WHY OF 50 YEARS OF CUBAN EXILE

DR. ANTONIO DE LA COVA, HISTORIAN AND PARTICIPANT OF THE CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY PROCESS, IS WRITING ABOUT CALIXTO SANCHEZ AND THE CORINTHIA EXPEDITION TO CUBA IN 1957. DE LA COVA SENT ME FILES CONTAINING CUBAN POLICE RECORDS OF MANY PARTICIPANTS OF THE INSURRECTIONIST PERIOD FROM 1952 TO 1959. DE LA COVA ASKS HOW MANY OF THEM I REMEMBER, TO HAVE ARRIVED IN STO., DOMINGO FROM CUBA; TO BE TRAINED, BEFORE THE CORINTHIA EXPEDITION LEFT TO CUBA FROM MIAMI, IN 1957. REMINISCING THAT INSURRECTIONIST STRETCH SHOWS WHY THE STRETCH FROM 1959, ONWARD IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF THE OTHER.

THE ONLY OBJECTIVE OF CUBAN EXILES FROM 1952 TO 1959 WAS TO OVERTHROW THE DICTATORSHIP, WITH OUR OWN EFFORTS, PATRIOTIC WILL, AND PRESIDENT CARLOS PRIO'S FORTUNE. PRESIDENT PRIO GAVE HIS FORTUNE AMONG ALL GROUPS THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE STRUGGLE, WITHOUT DOUBTING ANY, ASKING NOTHING FOR HIMSELF, IN SPITE OF KNOWING THAT SOME USED HIS MONEY TO ENRICH THEMSELVES. THE OBJECTIVE OF EXILES THEN, WAS TO PARTICIPATE OF THE PATRIOTIC STRUGGLE TO OVERTHROW THE DICTATORSHIP AND RETURN TO OUR HOMELAND; THAT EXILE LASTED 7 YEARS.

IN 1959, THE C.I.A., TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE CUBAN INSURRECTIONIST PROCESS, OPENING A CORRUPTED DOOR FOR CUBANS TO CLIMB THE EMPIRE'S POWER STRUCTURE. FROM DRESSING THEM IN C.I.A.'S NAVY WHITE; TO FLEEING CUBAN POLITICIANS INTO POSITIONS IN FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, BEHIND THE DEMAGOGUE RHETORIC OF SUPPORTING THE CUBAN INSURRECTIONIST EFFORTS; A FARCE, WHEREBY INSURGENTS NOT OBEYING C.I.A., ORDERS, WERE ENTRAPPED, JAILED, AND FORGOTTEN; WITH HYPOCRISY. WE STILL HAVE EDUARDO AROCENA; THE LONGEST HELD CUBAN POLITICAL PRISONER IN UNITED STATES; IGNORED BY THE COLLECTIVE POWER ELITE OF CUBAN/AMERICANS; AS ARE CUBAN POLITICAL PRISONERS, IGNORED BY THE POWER ELITE OF THE 26 OF JULY IN CUBA.

CHANGE IS COMING, AFTER THE EMPIRE STARTED TO IMPLODE IN 2009, BY THEIR ABUSE OF POWER, RACISM, AND GREED, AND THE A NEW CYBERNETIC/HUMANIST GENERATION ELECTED A REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT; AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE NEW CUBAN CYBERNETIC/HUMANIST GENERATION OF JOANI SANCHEZ AND VOCES CUBANAS, STARTS TO DEMAND FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND ACTION OF THE 26 OF JULY DICTATORSHIP. THIS COMPLEMENTARY GENERATIONAL EFFORT IS CONSOLIDATING MORE, AS THE DICTATORS OF THE 26, AND THE EMPIRE'S NEW GOVERNMENT ALLOWS MORE INTERCHANGE BETWEEN US.
