A little less than a year ago my imperialist enemies were prancing in the streets of Mafia Miami as they celebrated the imminence of my death, many even claiming I was already gone.\u00a0 We can tell you now that I really was about dead.\u00a0\u00a0 I had one, two, three and more intestinal operations, all unsuccessful, and it appeared a half-century of my inspired domination of Cuba was going to pass.\u00a0 The husky, vigorous and indomitable man you\u2019d always known had become feeble, bedridden, and gray.\u00a0 Thankfully, I had long since developed the finest medical system in the world, and my marvelous team of doctors provided life-sustaining nutrition through a series of intravenous procedures and catheters.\u00a0 Now I\u2019m taking everything required through my indefatigable mouth.<\/p>\n
I am also spending the first free time of my life, excepting my imprisonment for trying to liberate the nation in the 1950\u2019s, to reflect and write about the transcendent issues of this era and for eternity.\u00a0 No longer do I have time to be a political movie star in battle fatigues, forever trimming my beard and getting dressed up and preparing my hours-long speeches and likewise lecturing interviewers from around the globe.\u00a0 I am a writer now, making my work easily available to you online, and though I shall not tell you everything I know \u2013 that would undermine Cuban foreign policy \u2013 I do promise never to tell a lie.<\/p>\n
My most vital declaration is that George W. Bush is an apocalyptic person.\u00a0 \u201cHe expresses only emotions and constantly feigns rationality.\u201d\u00a0 The ironic result is that his aggression destroys not only hundreds of thousands of foreign lives but also thousands of American \u00a0\u00a0All of this is utterly unnecessary and results from Bush\u2019s hatred of the poor world.\u00a0 He certainly cannot plausibly claim that America\u2019s vast arsenal of nuclear weapons and precision-guided missiles is designed to defeat the terrorists.\u00a0 On the contrary, \u201cimperialism intends to institutionalize world tyranny with these weapons.\u00a0 It aims them at other great nations which arise not as military adversaries capable of surpassing their technology with weapons of mass destruction, but as economic powers that would rival the United States whose chaotic and wasteful consumerist economic and social system is absolutely vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n
I certainly do commiserate with the American people about the horrors of 9\/11, and am evermore worried by the certainty that Bush and his courtiers, based on intelligence reports, either knew or should have known that an attack on U.S. soil was imminent.\u00a0 \u201cIf something similar were to happen with any kind of explosives of nuclear material, given that enriched uranium flows like water throughout the world since the days of the Cold War, what would be the probable fate of humanity?\u201d<\/p>\n
Objective observers could not fail to be still more appalled that \u201cGeorge W. Bush is undoubtedly the most genuine representative of a system of terror forced on the world by the technological, economic and political superiority of the most powerful country known to this planet.\u201d\u00a0 No other conclusion was possible after the El Paso Federal Court in April, inevitably acting on the orders of President Bush, released on bail Luis Posada Carriles, a terrorist with as much blood on his face as Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n
Bush has long proclaimed himself the enemy of all terrorists.\u00a0 Yet, with the most obscene hypocrisy, he has embraced Carriles, a criminal who with support of U.S. officials in 1976 destroyed a \u201cCuban passenger plane in midair, with 73 athletes, students and other Cuban and foreign travelers on board, together with its dedicated crew.\u201d\u00a0 The same people in 1985 \u201cbought his freedom while the terrorist was held in prison in Venezuela, so that he could supply and practically conduct a dirty war against the people of Nicaragua, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives and the devastation of a country for decades to come; (they) empowered him to smuggle with drugs and weapons making a mockery of the laws of Congress; (they) collaborated with him to create the terrible Operation Condor and to internationalize terror; (they also) brought torture, death and often the physical disappearance of hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n
George W. Bush is evidently allied with the terrorists as long as their victims are poor people and from nations with governments he disapproves of.\u00a0 He is lucky I am an old man and too tired today to write, as I have on other recent days, about the looming catastrophe of excessive oil consumption and the \u201cmonstrosity\u201d of transforming food into fuels.\u00a0 Since the Americans and Europeans, the world\u2019s most ravenous consumers, have the capacity to produce only 30 percent of their needed biofuels, the rest must perforce come from the \u201cSouth, capitalism\u2019s poor and neocolonial periphery.\u201d\u00a0 I have also been writing about starvation and soaring food prices and deforestation and African AIDS and the need to replace incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent.\u00a0 No matter what the issue, I cast the United States as the villain.\u00a0 That has always worked politically even as my own anachronistic policies failed.\u00a0 My countless pratfalls were \u2013 and still are \u2013 daily obscured by the giant glowering to our North.<\/p>\n
Last week I gave my first televised interview in almost a year since being stricken, and would like to apologize for its brevity, only about an hour.\u00a0 As a convalescing man soon to turn 81, I feel better in a track suit than military uniform and simply can no longer deliver the five-hour speeches I know you would love to hear.\u00a0 Though I probably have neither the energy nor testosterone to reclaim suffocating control of the country, I assure you that the current commander, my brother Raul Castro, will not do anything I\u2019d disapprove of.\u00a0 He wouldn\u2019t, would he?\u00a0 I do fear, however, that those who succeed Raul may become democratic.\u00a0 Be assured, I really will be dead when that happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
