Reflections of Fidel
The
universe and its expansion
June
20.12
I respect all religions, although I
do not share them. Human beings seek explanations
for their existence, from the most ignorant to the
wisest.

Reflections of Fidel
The
unimaginable
June
20.12
YOGIS do things with the
human body which are beyond our imagination. There
they are, before our eyes, via images arriving
instantaneously from vast distances, through Pasaje
a lo Desconocido [Cuban TV program]

Reflections of Fidel
Nutrition and healthful employment
June
18.12
THE conditions have been
created for the country to begin massively producing
Moringa Oleífera and mulberry, which are
sustainable resources [for the production of] meat,
eggs, milk and silk fiber which can be woven by
artisans, providing well-remunerated employment as
an added benefit, regardless of age or gender.

Nicolás Guillén
June

Cheers Guevara!
Or better yet, from the American depths:
Wait for us. We’ll go with you.
We want to die to live as you have died,
To live as you live,
Che Comandante, amigo.
Beautiful final lines by Cuba’s National Poet.

Reflections of Fidel
Deng Xiaoping
June
15.12
HE thought of himself as a wise man
and, doubtless, he was. But he made a small mistake.
"Cuba has to be punished," he said one day. Our
country never even pronounced his name.
It was a totally unwarranted offense.

Reflections of Fidel
Alberto Juantorena
June
14.12
HIS name is gaining strength
as synonymous with the glory of Cuban sports. His
age and health make him an ideal prototype for
heading the Cuban Olympic Committee.
These predictions would seem to be the right ones!

Reflections of Fidel
Unforgettable
Conduct
June
12.12
THE most
revolutionary German I have known is Erich Honecker.
Every human being lives in his or her era. The
current one is of infinite change, in comparison
with any other. I had the privilege of observing his
conduct when he was paying bitterly for the debt
contracted by the man who sold his soul to the devil
for a few shots of vodka.
I retain for
Honecker the most profound sentiment of solidarity.

Strange Days
June
11.12
A June 7, 2012 Internet article entitled "Assassin
in chief" affirms that "… not only will a U.S.
President be elected, but an assassin in chief as
well."
"Thanks to a long article in The New York Times
by Jo Becker and Scott Shane, ‘Secret Kill List
Proves a Test of Obama’s Principles and Will,’ we
now know that the...

An honest
clarification
June
4.12
A few days ago, on May 28, the violent combat
at Uvero was commemorated with well-deserved
recognition. An elemental duty obliges me to clarify
the events.

Reflections of Fidel
The horrors
offered us by the empire
May
15.12
A cable from AP, the principal U.S. news
agency, datelined today in Monterrey, Mexico,
explains it with irrefutable clarity. It is not the
first and doubtless is not the last about a reality
which demolishes the mountain of lies with which the
United States attempts to justify the inhuman
destiny it reserves for the peoples of Our America.

The 67th anniversary
of the victory over Nazi fascism
May
11.12
NO political event can be judged outside of the
period and circumstances in which it took place. No
one knows even one percent of the fabulous history
of human beings, but thanks to this history, we know
about events which surpass the limits of the
imaginable.

Pope Benedict
XVI sends letter to Raúl
May
4.12
"WITH the pleasure of having undertaken my
apostolic journey to Cuba for the 400th anniversary
of the discovery and presence in that nation of the
venerated image of Nuestra Señora de la Caridad del
Cobre, it is a pleasure for me to express to Your
Excellency and the country’s other authorities my
deep gratitude for the...

Reflections of Fidel
What Obama knows
April
30.12
The most demolishing article I have seen recently
about Latin America was written by Renán Vega
Cantor, professor at the National Pedagogical
University of Bogotá, which was published three days
ago by the website ‘Rebelión’ under the title "Ecos
de la Cumbre de las Américas" (Echoes of the Summit
of the Americas).

Reflections of Fidel
Sugarcoated realities fading away
April
18.12
I
was surprised today as I listened to the speech
delivered by Jose Miguel Insulza in Cartagena. I
thought that the person who was speaking on behalf
of the OAS would at least demand some respect for
the sovereignty of the peoples of this hemisphere
which were for years colonized and cruelly exploited
by colonial powers.

Stephen Harper’s
Illusions
April
9.12
I think - and I do not intend to offend
anyone - that this is how one refers to the Prime
Minister of Canada. I deduced it from a statement
published on Holy Wednesday by a spokesperson for
the Foreign Ministry of that country.

Reflections of Fidel
The marvelous
world of capitalism
April
2.12
THE search for political truth will always be a
difficult task, even in our times when science has
placed a large body of knowledge in our hands. One
of the most significant aspects of this scientific
knowledge has been learning of and studying the
fabulous power of energy contained in matter.

Reflections of Fidel
The need to enrich
our knowledge
March
30.12
FILMED scenes of the slaughter in Libya,
which are beginning to be made known, prompt outrage
over the total absence of humanism and the gross
lies which served as the pretext to invade and seize
that country’s natural resources.
•
Reflections of Fidel
Difficult times for humanity
March
28.12
THE world is increasingly
misinformed amidst the chaos of events unfolding at
pace never before imagined. Those of us who have
lived a few more years and are avidly interested in
information can testify to the extent of ignorance
with which we confront events.

Reflections of Fidel
The roads leading
to disaster
March

THIS Reflection could be
written today, tomorrow or any other day without any
risk of being mistaken. Our species is confronting
new problems. When I stated 20 years ago at the
United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development in Rio de...

Reflections of Fidel
The fruit
which did not fall
25.Enero.12
CUBA was forced to fight for its
existence facing an expansionist power, located a
few miles from its coast, and which was proclaiming
the annexation of our island, which was destined to
fall into its lap like a ripe fruit. We were
condemned not to exist as a nation.
•
Reflections of Fidel
World peace
hanging by a thread
January.12.12
YESTERDAY I had the pleasure of conversing leisurely
with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I hadn’t seem him since
September of 2006, more than five years ago, when he
visited our country to participate in the 14th Non-Aligned
Movement Summit which took place in Havana, when
Cuba was elected for a second time to the Presidency
of this organization for a three year term.
•
Reflections of Fidel
The best
President for the United States
January.8.12
A well known European agency transmitted the news
the day before yesterday from Sydney, Australia. "A
group of Australian investigators from the
University of New South Wales announced the creation
of a wire 10,000 times thinner than a human hair,
with the same electrical current carrying capability
of copper."
•
Reflections of Fidel
Marching toward
the abyss
January.4.12
It is not a matter of optimism or pessimism, of
knowing or not knowing elementary facts, or being
responsible or not for events. Those who profess to
be politicians should be tossed into the waste bin
of history when, as is the rule, they have no idea
of anything or almost anything related to this
activity.
