Blessing in disguise

Obama’s government cutting funds to some Cuban exile organizations can be a blessing in disguise for today’s Cuban revolutionary process.

For decades these wealthy "Non-profit organizations" spend millions of dollars that the U.S. government distributes, in salaries, travel, and lavish galas of protests, attracting and feeding hundreds of equally wealthy agents of the Cuban Ministry of Interior, infiltrated in their ranks; while denying, cursing, and accusing of "Communists", any initiative of non-members of their comfortable positions.

Even after the Juanes concert Sept 20, 2009, broke the ideological monopoly of the 26 of July dictatorship in Cuba, and a million young people gathered in Habana to demand artistic, cultural, political, and economic, inclusion between Cuba and exile, these organizations continued ignoring the new virtual generation among them, demanding non-violently participation in economic, political, social changes and our legally allowed presence, to exchange bonds of fellowship; and instead, continue to keep their distance, justifying the money spend, by sending a few phones to Cuba, and instead of bringing them personally, use the empire’s channels, polluting the honesty of the dissidents in the Island.

Wake up, the Cuban process is our responsibility; to be done with our sacrifices, our pocket money, and our blood. The money spent has to be ours, collected from boxes placed in every corner in Miami, without photos in the Herald, without fanfare. And taken to Cuba by ourselves, where the historic moments demand our presence. The dictatorship and the empire are giving clear laws that allow our non-violent participation, which is not without a few risks of being pushed around for walking with the Ladies in White. Those that the dictatorship does not allow to go, should not sabotage those who can go essay this new strategy of physical participation and inclusion,

If you cannot go to Cuba to share in this effort, give to and support those that can go, until we are all able to go; or another insurrectionist stretch starts.

Please pray for a few seconds to your God, for Eduardo Arocena family; Arocena is the longest held Cuban political prisoner in U.S.
