Fidel Castro Address
Durbin Conference...
September 1, 2001
Excellencies:
Delegates and guests:
Racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia are not naturally instinctive
reactions of the human beings but rather a social, cultural and political
phenomenon born directly of wars, military conquests, slavery and the
individual or collective exploitation of the weakest by the most powerful
all along the history of human societies.
No one has the right to boycott this Conference which tries to bring some
sort of relief to the overwhelming majority of mankind afflicted by
unbearable suffering and enormous injustice. Neither has anyone the right to
set preconditions to this conference or urge it to avoid the discussion of
historical responsibility, fair compensation or the way we decide to rate
the dreadful genocide perpetrated, at this very moment, against our
Palestinian brothers by extreme right leaders who, in alliance with the
hegemonic superpower, pretend to be acting on behalf of another people which
throughout almost two thousand years was the victim of the most fierce
persecution, discrimination and injustice that history has known.
Cuba speaks of reparations, and supports this idea as an unavoidable moral
duty to the victims of racism, based on a major precedent, that is, the
indemnification being paid to the descendants of the Hebrew people which in
the very heart of Europe suffered the brutal and loathsome racist holocaust.
However, it is not with the intent to undertake an impossible search for the
direct descendants or the specific countries of the victims of actions
occurred throughout centuries. The irrefutable truth is that tens of
millions of Africans were captured, sold like a commodity and sent beyond
the Atlantic to work in slavery while 70 million indigenous people in that
hemisphere perished as a result of the European conquest and colonization.
The inhuman exploitation imposed on the peoples of three continents,
including Asia, marked forever the destiny and lives of over 4.5 billion
people living in the Third World today whose poverty, unemployment,
illiteracy and health rates as well as their infant mortality, life
expectancy and other calamities --too many, in fact, to enumerate here-- are
certainly awesome and harrowing. They are the current victims of that
atrocity which lasted centuries and the ones who clearly deserve
compensation for the horrendous crimes perpetrated against their ancestors
and peoples.
Actually, such a brutal exploitation did not end when many countries became
independent, not even after the formal abolition of slavery. Right after
independence, the main ideologists of the American Union that emerged when
the 13 colonies got rid of the British domination at the end of the 18th
century, advanced ideas and strategies unquestionably expansionist in
nature.
It was based on such ideas that the ancient white settlers of European
descent, in their march to the West, forcibly occupied the lands in which
Native- Americans had lived for thousands of years thus exterminating
millions of them in the process. But, they did not stop at the boundaries of
the former Spanish possessions; consequently Mexico, a Latin American
country that had attained its independence in 1821, was stripped off
millions of square kilometers of territory and invaluable natural resources.
Meanwhile, in the increasingly powerful and expansionist nation born in
North America, the obnoxious and inhumane slavery system stayed in place for
almost a century after the famous Declaration of Independence of 1776 was
issued, the same that proclaimed that all men were born free and equal.
After the purely formal slave emancipation, African- Americans were
subjected during one hundred more years to the harshest racial
discrimination, and many of its features and consequences still persist
after almost four more decades of heroic struggles and the achievements of
the 1960’s, for which Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X and other
outstanding fighters gave their lives. Based on a purely racist rationale,
the longest and most severe legal sentences are passed against
African-Americans who in the wealthy American society are bound to live in
dare poverty and with the lowest living standards.
Likewise, what is left of the Native-American peoples, which were the first
to inhabit a large portion of the current territory of the United States of
America, remain under even worse conditions of discrimination and neglect.
Needless to mention the data on the social and economic situation of Africa
where entire countries and even whole regions of Sub-Saharan Africa are in
risk of extinction the result of an extremely complex combination of
economic backwardness, excruciating poverty and grave diseases, both old and
new, that have become a true scourge. And the situation is no less dramatic
in numerous Asian countries. On top of all this, there are the huge and
unpayable debts, the disparate terms of trade, the ruinous prices of basic
commodities, the demographic explosion, the neoliberal globalization and the
climate changes that produce long draughts alternating with increasingly
intensive rains and floods. It can be mathematically proven that such a
predicament is unsustainable.
The developed countries and their consumer societies, presently responsible
for the accelerated and almost unstoppable destruction of the environment,
have been the main beneficiaries of the conquest and colonization, of
slavery, of the ruthless exploitation and the extermination of hundreds of
millions of people born in the countries that today constitute the Third
World. They have also reaped the benefits of the economic order imposed on
humanity after two atrocious and devastating wars for a new division of the
world and its markets, of the privileges granted to the United States and
its allies in Bretton-Woods, and of the IMF and the international financial
institutions exclusively created by them and for them.
That rich and squandering world is in possession of the technical and
financial resources necessary to pay what is due to mankind. The hegemonic
superpower should also pay back its special debt to African- Americans, to
Native-Americans living in reservations, and to the tens of millions of
Latin American and Caribbean immigrants as well as others from poor nations,
be they mulatto, yellow or black, but victims all of vicious discrimination
and scorn.
It is high time to put an end to the dramatic situation of the indigenous
communities in our hemisphere. Their own awakening and struggles, and the
universal admission of the monstrosity of the crime committed against them
make it imperative.
There are enough funds to save the world from the tragedy.
May the arms race and the weapon commerce that only bring devastation and
death truly end.
Let it be used for development a good part of the one trillion US dollars
annually spent on the commercial advertising that creates false illusions
and inaccessible consumer habits while releasing the venom that destroys the
national cultures and identities.
May the modest 0.7 percentage point of the Gross National Product promised
as official development assistance be finally delivered.
May the tax suggested by Nobel Prize Laureate James Tobin be imposed in a
reasonable and effective way on the current speculative operations
accounting for trillions of US dollars every 24 hours, then the United
Nations, which cannot go on depending on meager, inadequate, and belated
donations and charities, will have one trillion US dollars annually to save
and develop the world. Given the seriousness and urgency of the existing
problems, which have become a real hazard for the very survival of our
specie on the planet, that is what would actually be needed before it is too
late.
Put and end to the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people that is
taking place while the world stares in amazement. May the basic right to
life of that people, children and youth, be protected. May their right to
peace and independence be respected; then, there will be nothing to fear
from UN documents.
I am aware that the need for some relief from the awful situation their
countries are facing has led many friends from Africa and other regions to
suggest the need for such prudence as would allow something to come out of
this conference. I sympathize with them but I cannot renounce my
convictions, as I feel that the more candid we are in telling the truth the
more possibilities there will be to be heeded and respected. There have been
enough centuries of deception.
I have only three other short questions based on realities that cannot be
ignored.
The capitalist, developed and wealthy countries today participate of the
imperialist system born of capitalism itself and the economic order imposed
to the world based on the philosophy of selfishness and the brutal
competition between men, nations and groups of nations which in completely
indifferent to any feelings of solidarity and honest international
cooperation. They live under the misleading, irresponsible and hallucinating
atmosphere of consumer societies. Thus, regardless the sincerity of their
blind faith in such a system and the convictions of their most serious
statesmen, I wonder: Will they be able to understand the grave problems of
today’s world which in its incoherent and uneven development is ruled
by blind laws, by the huge power and the interests of the ever growing and
increasingly uncontrollable and independent transnational corporations?
Will they come to understand the impending universal chaos and rebellion?
And, even if they wanted to, could they put an end to racism, racial
discrimination, xenophobia and other related issues, which are precisely the
rest of them all?
>From my viewpoint we are on the verge of a huge economic, social and
political global crisis. Let’s try to build an awareness about these
realities and the alternatives will come up. History has shown that it is
only from deep crisis that great solutions have emerged. The peoples’
right to life and justice will definitely impose itself under a thousand
different shapes.
I believe in the mobilization and the struggle of the peoples! I believe in
the idea of justice! I believe in truth! I believe in man!
Thank you.

Cuarentena en San José por armas químicas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
El Gobierno desplegará una fuerza de seguridad en la isla.
Eduardo Martínez F. (emar...@epasa.com)
El Panamá América
El Gobierno declaró "zona de cuarentena sanitaria" a la isla de San José, luego
que un informe de la Organización para la Prohibición de Armas Químicas (OPAQ)
revelara la existencia de por lo menos cuatro bombas químicas, que de explotar,
podrían provocar daños en la piel y afección pulmonar.
Mientras que desde Estados Unidos nuestro corresponsal Henry Raymont informa que
una fuente oficial reconoció que el Ejército estadounidense usó la isla San José
desde 1943 a 1948 con el "propósito explícito de realizar experimentos de guerra
química". Agregó que "estábamos informados (del uso de San José), pero todas las
armas químicas fueron usadas o sacadas de la isla, de acuerdo con la práctica de
aquel tiempo antes de que la isla fuera regresada al control panameño en 1948".
Por su parte, el canciller José Miguel Alemán explicó que la cuarentena, que
también alcanza las costas, significa que se impedirá el ingreso a la isla y sus
inmediaciones de personas no autorizadas, la evacuación de habitantes y la
clausura provisional de todas las instalaciones comerciales o de otro tipo. Para
lograr el cumplimiento de este objetivo, el Gobierno desplegará una fuerza de
seguridad en la isla.
La Cancillería advirtió que el Gobierno adoptará las providencias necesarias
para asegurar que la contaminación de la isla se termine de manera expedita y se
cumplan las disposiciones contenidas en la Convención sobre Armas Químicas,
relativas a la responsabilidad que cabe a los estados por el abandono de este
tipo de material bélico.
Frente a este hallazgo, el Gobierno advierte que Estados Unidos no dijo la
verdad sobre este tema, por lo que envió una nota al secretario de Estado, Colin
Powell, solicitándole que Washington informe si existen armas químicas
abandonadas en otras áreas de la isla de San José o del territorio nacional.
En la nota, con fecha del 4 de septiembre, la Cancillería le recuerda a
Washington que Panamá está preparada para que se inicie cuanto antes el
arbitraje relacionado con el tema de la limpieza de las áreas que fueron
utilizadas por Estados Unidos como polígonos de tiro.
De acuerdo con Alemán, el asesor de Seguridad para América Latina, John Maisto,
y el secretario de Estado Adjunto para Asuntos Hemisféricos, Lino Gutiérrez,
aseguraron que Estados Unidos cumpliría sus obligaciones contractuales y
modificaría su declaración jurada para admitir que el Ejército estadounidense
abandonó armas químicas en el territorio nacional.
Señaló que el Gobierno solicitará a Estados Unidos que desclasifique unos 45
documentos que establecen la presencia de armas químicas en Panamá. Alemán
detalló que tres de las bombas encontradas por OPAQ en San José son de 1000
libras y una de 500, las cuales se encuentran intactas. Se dio a conocer que si
una bomba de éstas explota, puede provocar problemas de salud a personas que se
encuentren en un radio de 450 metros, ya que las mismas tienen tres tipos de
sustancias que provocan lesiones severas a la piel y al sistema cardiovascular,
que pueden producir inclusive la muerte.
Pero el efecto de las bombas sería más perjudicial si se toma en cuenta que por
la acción del viento puede afectar a seres vivos que estén ubicados en un radio
de 2000 metros. Alemán resaltó que el hotel que funciona en la isla está ubicado
a 1600 metros desde el punto más cercano al sitio donde se descubrieron las
bombas no detonadas.

"Dr. Victor M. Rodriguez" :
Estaba pensando en la epidemia de fiebre aftosa que se dió en Europa. Inicialmente,
cuando se adjudico a un laboratorio inglés, estos lo negaron. Trataron de echarle la
culpa a los extanjeros. A los chinos, en este caso.
Después quedó claro: era un "escape" de cultivos que un desconocido dejó libre, al
ingresar a un laboratorio secreto de acceso restringido.
Hoy se habla de resíduos químicos. Y nadie desea tenerlos cerca. En El Salvador,
tenemos un basurero de armamento en las aguas territoriales: invento norteamericano.
Y aseguran los norteamericanos, que no es dañino ni de qué preocuparse: por eso lo
van a botar frente a nuestras costas, y no en las aguas jurisdiccionales propias.
Parece que los salvadoreños no estamos solos, en cuanto a recibir productos
indeseados por los poderosos vecinos del Norte.
Las recientes declaraciones de los USA en torno a la creación de una variedad de
ANTRAX, para hacer una vacuna contra esa variedad que se va a crear ( y todo en
función de una política de defensa), me hace pensar que si la variedad a crear no
existe, y no hemos tenido ninguna peste de la misma, no desearía se repita el
accidente de Inglaterra. Hasta ahora, no hemos necesitado vacuna contra lo
inexistente. Eso en función de la guerra bactereológica.
Todavía recuerdo las secuelas del dengue hemorrágico durante la guerra de los
Contras y los sandinistas, y la guerra civil salvadoreña. Y ese sinnúmero de
enfermedades que surgieron entonces.

ex-cops in Miami: Shootings covered up
By Ellis Berger | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted September 8, 2001
MIAMI -- A day after the shooting death of a pair of petty thieves, five
Miami
police officers shared a barbecue lunch and thoughts on how to cover up the
fact that they planted guns to make it look as if the fleeing suspects were
armed, two former officers say in sworn statements.
Their statements -- and guilty pleas -- were unsealed Friday by federal
prosecutors soon after the arrests of 11 other city officers, including
three of the
participants in the 1995 shooting near Miami Avenue and the Interstate 395
overpass. All are accused of a years-long conspiracy to cover up
unjustified
shootings.
It is the biggest shake-up in the Miami Police Department since
the infamous River Cops scandal of the mid-80s,
when dozens of officers were implicated in murder and drug rip-offs.
"The circle of officers is not yet closed, the investigation continues and
time is
running out for those others to come forward," said Hector Pesquera,
special
agent in charge of the FBI office in Miami.
Unlike the River Cops case, none of the charges against these officers is
for
monetary gain. Rather, they stand accused of covering up abuse of power and
questionable shootings in four highly visible cases between November 1995
and
June 1997 in which three unarmed men died, another was wounded and one
was shot at.
At the request of police Chief Raul Martinez, the U.S. Attorney's Office and
the
Justice Department will review the department's internal procedures in an
effort
to correct shortcomings that allowed such misconduct to flourish.
Identified but not among those arrested Friday were the two retired
officers,
William Hames, 53, and John Mervolion, 47, who gave sworn statements
in a closed courtroom to U.S. District Judge Alan S. Gold.
They are free on bond after pleading guilty to the same basic
charges as the 11 others: obstruction of justice and conspiracy
in civil-rights violations that included planting at shooting scenes
weapons they had seized at other locations but failed to turn in
to the department's property room.
U.S. Attorney Guy A. Lewis announced the indictment.
"The conduct of these officers has stained the badges of
every hardworking, faithful and honest police officer who
puts his or her life on the line every day," Lewis said.
Arrested were:
Lt. Israel "Izzy" Gonzalez, 42; Sgt. Jose Acuna, 43;
Sgt. Jose "Pepe" Quintero, 37;
and Officers Jesus "Jessie" Aguero, 38;
Arturo Beguiristain, 41; Jorge Castello,
34; Rafael "Ralph" Fuentes, 34; Jorge Garcia,
38; Eliezer Lopez, 34; Alejandro "Alex" Macias,
39; and Oscar Ronda, 39.
All the officers are also accused of giving false or
misleading statements to investigators.
Garcia and Gonzalez are also charged with perjury.
The charges each carry penalties of between
five and 10 years in prison and fines of $250,000.
Aguero was held without bond.
Special restrictions were placed on Beguiristain, who was released with
the others on $100,000 bonds. He is confined to his home most of the time.
Lewis said Hames and Mervolion, who each face five years
in prison, have agreed to cooperate in prosecuting the others.
In three of the four cases, judicial inquests presented by
the State Attorney's Office concluded that the shootings
were justified.
Richard Sharpstein, who represents Beguiristain and Castello,
accused prosecutors of rehashing old investigations in which
the men were cleared.
"There was no case then, and there's no case now."
Said Bill Matthewman, attorney for Macias:
"The government can indict a piece of Swiss cheese,
and that doesn't mean it's still not full of holes."
Lopez's lawyer, Harry Solomon, said the officer would be vindicated.
"He's extremely upset because he feels he did
nothing wrong, and that he's completely innocent."
Attorney Jay Moskowitz said he was surprised the
government chose to indict his client, Gonzalez.
"They're just allegations," Moskowitz said.

Sun-Sentinel contributed to this report. Ellis

Yes, but look at this article, the snake has a very big head.
Those Miami Cuban Cops are the tip of a very huge iceberg.
Because they were cleared, levels way over their heads,
their bosses, the Miami Prosecutors, the Miami D.A. etc.,
They knew and they kept their mouths shut.
Would be interesting to know the nationality of the
Miami Prosecutors, D.A..
Remember when the Joseph Carollo, the Mayor of Miami said
during the Elian Gonzalez, fiasco, that except for the head of
the HRA, his adminisration was entirely Cuban.
Well, well.....

Attorney's civil lawsuit spurred action
But some wonder why charges took so long
Three of the shooting cases were cleared at every step -- by
city homicide detectives, by state prosecutors, by top
department brass.
BY JOSEPH TANFANI AND DAVID KIDWELL
jtan...@herald.com
For years, questions lay festering at the hollow core of
Miami's police shooting cases: Guns that wouldn't fire.
Statements that contradicted the evidence. Stories from
witnesses that were never checked.
Prosecutors knew about the problems. So did Miami police
commanders. They even re-opened some cases and still did
nothing.
Nobody took serious action until lawyer Barbara Heyer,
suing the city in civil court, unraveled the inconsistencies in
the police department's account of a 1996 SWAT shooting
and won a $2.5 million settlement.
MOVE INTO OFFICE
Prosecutors took notice. Agents moved into her Fort
Lauderdale office and began to cull through reams of
statements.
``She had everything,'' said one federal investigator familiar
with the investigation. ``Heyer is tough. She didn't buy the
cops' story, and she was right.''
Two years later, after a federal investigation spurred in part
by pressure from black community groups, 13 Miami police
officers stand accused of a longtime conspiracy of lies to
justify their actions in shooting unarmed suspects.
Prosecutors say they've cracked a blue code of silence by
convincing two officers to confess that they made up stories
and helped plant guns to protect themselves and their fellow
cops. Even more indictments are expected. Department
leaders are vowing reform.
WHY NOT SOONER?
But the question remains: why didn't anyone act sooner?
"That's a legitimate criticism,'' U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis said
when asked why federal prosecutors did not begin to
examine the shootings until last year. ``I don't know. All I
an tell you is that I first heard about these shootings in
October, and here we are today. It is really unbelievable.''
Three of the four shooting cases at the heart of the federal
conspiracy case were cleared at every step -- by city
homicide detectives, by state prosecutors, by top
department brass.
One case, the shooting of two fleeing robbers who jumped
from the top of a highway overpass, happened nearly six
years ago.
State prosecutors and police cleared it without ever getting
to the bottom of numerous inconsistencies, including guns
that wouldn't fire and statements from some officers that
they never saw guns.
ADMISSIONS
Two former cops, William Hames and John Mervolion, have
now admitted the two robbers were unarmed and that guns
were planted.
Some critics say the evidence of misconduct was there, but
no one wanted to look at it, particularly within the
department or in the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office.
Attorney H.T. Smith says the State Attorney's Office is
guilty of ``willful blindness'' and works too closely with cops
to be objective.
``The State Attorney's Office doesn't dig for the truth,'' Smith
said. ``They let the Miami police bring them flawed
investigations, and they present those flawed investigations
to a judge who then is forced by a lack of evidence to clear
the police officers.
``The failure or refusal of the State Attorney's Office to
search for the truth in these shootings emboldened the
corrupt Miami police to feel they could get away with
anything,'' Smith said.
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle
said her prosecutors did the best they could, moving
aggressively to bring charges of a gun-planting conspiracy in
the 1997 shooting of an unarmed homeless man in Coconut
Grove.
UNFAIR TO CRITICIZE
She said it's unfair to use hindsight to criticize prosecutors
who reviewed earlier cases and failed to uncover lies by
officers. Before the Coconut Grove case surfaced, she said,
no one would have believed that a group of officers would get
together to concoct stories and plant weapons.
After the Grove case, she said, state prosecutors went back
over earlier shootings and found problems. They decided
they could not bring charges unless somebody -- a
cooperating officer -- talked.
``These cases cannot be made without someone on the
inside breaking silence,'' said Trudy Novicki, chief assistant
for special prosecutions for the state attorney.
``Inconsistencies don't make a perjury case.''
But one federal investigator close to the case said the
original investigation of the Interstate 395 case was ``an
absolute joke.''
`RETRACED STEPS'
``We just retraced all the steps,'' said the source. ``It was
really clear that Miami police just didn't ask the hard
questions, and neither did the State Attorney's Office. They
dropped the ball. All the information was already in the
police files.''
Bess McElroy, president of the People United to Lead the
Struggle for Equality, said Lewis gave police and state
prosecutors a chance to do their jobs -- but they failed.
``If they had done a good job, we would not have all this
evidence being uncovered at this time,'' she said. ``You
question, `How could so much have happened, and they not
catch any of this?' ''
