ENRIQUE ENRIQUEZ: The Architect of Destruction. By Maureen Scott
"Obama comes from a community organizer background where it's us against them. But that's not who we are. And that's not the position the leader of our Nation should take."– Dr. Benjamin Carson
Obama appears to be a tormented man who is filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps because, as a child, he grew up around family members and mentors who instilled him with an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. That bitterness seems not to have left him.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem – for anyone in America. Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of "America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday – or is he moved to sadness and reflection when someone plays "taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever felt the depth of our admiration of the military, as lovers of those who keep America free feel when soldiers march by? It is doubtful – because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a grandfather or uncle who showed his medals and told of the bravery of his fellow troops as they fought and tramped through foreign lands sacrificing for a cause greater than their own lives. He didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and life for their children.
Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the gravesites of fallen and beloved American heroes.
Rather Obama was separated from all of these experiences. He doesn't really understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and is insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions and patriotism that unite us.
Obama has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that inspires us to be better, grateful, and proud that, in a short time, our country became a leader, and a protector of so many. Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements ,along with any of his critics, all for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading anyone who opposes his policies and actions. Unlike a secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, Obama displays a cocky, haughty attitude and a dread of being critiqued.
Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissention, unrest, and anxiety among the people rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter"). He creates chaos for the sake of keeping citizens separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, disrespectful of, and retaliate against those of differing backgrounds and views. Through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and mature restraint to the level of rowdy, street-fighting gangs. When, instead, he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and self-assured.
Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of power.

·
Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics
to harm and hurt the people and this country.
·
Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue
against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming, and
trustworthy force.
·
Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can
cause a nation of people – on a daily basis!
Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of
cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us
up. He is the Architect of the decline of America, and the epitome of a
Demagogue.

Eric Holder Could Lose
His Salary For Being Held In Contempt Of Congress Under This New Bill
Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) has introduced a bill called the
“Contempt Act,” which would prevent current and future federal employees from
collecting their taxpayer-funded salaries as long as they’re being held in
contempt of Congress.
The bill, which has no chance of becoming law in a divided Congress,
currently would apply to one man — Attorney General Eric Holder, with whom
Farenthold tangled at a congressional hearing last week:
“I’m committed to maintaining the constitutional
balance of power and the authority that this branch — this Legislative Branch —
has, and I just don’t think it’s appropriate that Mr. Holder be here,”
Farenthold told the Judiciary Committee last Tuesday.
“If
an American citizen had not complied with one of the Justice Department
subpoenas, they would be in jail, not sitting here in front, testifying. I
realize there are questions to be asked. I’ll yield the remainder of my time.”
Rep. Farenthold released the following statement on April 15:
In
2012, the House of Representatives voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder
in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents related to the
botched Fast and Furious gun-running sting operation – despite this fact, he is
still receiving his paycheck courtesy of American taxpayers.

LOS
BUSH: UNA DINASTÍA OBSOLETA.
Por
Alfredo M. Cepero
En los últimos 26
años he votado en múltiples ocasiones por miembros del clan Bush, ya fuera como
aspirantes a la presidencia de los Estados Unidos o a la gobernación del estado
de la Florida. Su trayectoria de servicio al país, de promoción de la libre
empresa, de reducción del tamaño del gobierno y de defensa de valores conservadores
en los campos de protección de la vida y de la familia les ha ganado un lugar
de honor entre lo que podríamos llamar los baluartes de la sociedad americanatradicional. Pero los Estados Unidos
del 2014 ya no son sociedad americana tradicional de hace 26 años.
Los progresos en la
tecnología, los avances en las comunicaciones, los cambios demográficos, la
erosión de los valores religiosos y la crisis de la familia americana imponen
nuevos retos, exigen soluciones más audaces y demandan posiciones ideológicas
más definidas por parte de líderes y gobernantes. El ambiente está tan caldeado
y el discurso político se ha vuelto tan virulento que no dejan espacio para
quienes se ubican en el centro del espectro ideológico.
No estamos en tiempos
de complacencia sino de urgencia, de contemporización sino de acción en la
tarea de confrontar a las fuerzas seculares y de extrema izquierda que se
proponen cambiar las estructuras tradicionales y hasta el alma de la nación
americana. El epicentro de esa gigantesca confrontación es la lucha política
por el control del gobierno, ya sea a niveles locales, estatales o federal.
Las elecciones
parciales del 2014 auguran altas probabilidades de victoria para unos motivados
candidatos republicanos que se enfrentarán a unos demócratas debilitados por el
desastre del Obamacare, de una economía con un lento proceso de recuperación y
de numerosos escándalos como Benghazi, "Rápido y Furioso",
persecución de conservadores por el Internal Revenue Service y espionaje de ciudadanos
norteamericanos por la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional.
Tan grandes son las
expectativas republicanas de mantener el control de la Cámara de Representantes
y ganar el control del Senado en las parciales del 2014 que muchos aspirantes
del partido del elefante ya han empezado a explorar sus posibilidades como
aspirantes a la presidencia en las elecciones generales del 2016. Uno de ellos,
el ex gobernador de la Florida, Jeb Bush, el benjamín de una dinastía con
profundas raíces dentro del Partido Republicano y una capacidad extraordinaria
para recaudar fondos de campaña.
En el curso de una
entrevista reciente en la cadena de Fox News, Jeb se refirió a dos temas que
generan conflictos enconados dentro de los miembros de su partido: la reforma
migratoria y la reforma educacional bautizada como "common core". La
segunda es rechazada por los conservadores dentro del partido argumentando que
elimina los controles locales sobre el currículo desde el kindergarten hasta el
12 grado y los pone en manos del gobierno federal. La segunda es rechazada por
quienes demandan condiciones previas como la seguridad en la frontera antes de
legalizar la situación de los 12 millones de inmigrantes ilegales dentro del
país.
Para Jeb, aquellos
que entraron al país violando las leyes norteamericanas: "Violaron las
leyes, pero no cometieron una felonía. Fue algo así como un acto de amor"
con el objetivo de dar a sus hijos mayores oportunidades en la vida. Una
opinión similar echó por el suelo las oportunidades de una postulación republicana
en las elecciones del 2012 al Gobernador de Texas, Rick Perry. Todo se produjo
cuando, en el curso de uno de los debates entre los
aspirantes en las primarias, Perry se refirió a los hijos de inmigrantes
ilegales diciendo: "Si usted dice que no debemos educar a niños que han
sido traídos a nuestro estado sin su culpa, yo no creo que usted tiene un buen
corazón".
Sólo Jeb Bush sabe si
lo hizo como expresión de un genuino sentimiento de compasión o para explorar
con antelación a las primarias presidenciales la reacción de los conservadores
del partido ante el explosivo tema migratorio. De lo que no tengo dudas es de
que, tal como lo hicieron antes su padre y su hermano, Jeb se situó a la
izquierda del partido en asuntos sociales y será objeto de ataques por el ala
conservadora. Después de Barack Obama, esa ala conservadora no quiere oír
hablar del "conservadorismo compasivo" de George W. Bush, que aumentó
el gasto público y dio inicio al espiral de una deuda nacional que se ha
desbocado bajo Barack Obama.
Un ala conservadora
que además está cansada de perder elecciones presidenciales cuando el partido
postula candidatos que se inclinan hacia la izquierda para obtener votos de las
llamadas minorías y antagoniza a sus miembros conservadores. Las últimas cinco
elecciones, entre parciales y generales, en que los demócratas han barrido el
piso con los republicanos demuestran el error de dicha estrategia.
Si el 10 por ciento
de los republicanos conservadores que se quedaron en casa en el 2012 hubieran
acudido a las urnas y votado por Mitt Romney, Barack Obama no estaría en la
Casa Blanca. Una repetición de la película del 2008 en que los conservadores
desconfiaron de un McCain que no se atrevió a condenar las relaciones políticas
de Obama con el terrorista confeso Bill Ayers y su asistencia semanal a los
servicios religiosos del terrorista dialéctico Jeremiah Wright.
Jeb Bush dice que
quiere hacer una campaña por encima de los insultos y de las diatribas. Todo un
moderado al estilo de la dinastía Bush y como lo fueron McCain y Romney. El
problema está en que cuando los Bush reinaban no existía el Tea Party que nació
al mundo político americano en el 2010 cuando le arrebató a los demócratas la
Cámara de Representantes y en que ni el padre ni el hijo tuvieron que
enfrentarse a la maquinaria de difamación, trampas y mentiras con la que fueron
elegidos y se han aferrado al poder Barack Obama y la izquierda virulenta del
Partido Demócrata. Ese Tea Party no quiere saber de los Bush. Mucho menos
cuando la "reina madre" de la dinastía, Barbara Bush, se refirió a la
niña mimada del Tea Party, Sarah Palin diciendo: "Una vez me senté junto a
ella y me pareció que era muy bella. Pero creó que está muy feliz en Alaska y
me parece que debe quedarse por allá".
Este nuevo Partido
Republicano, revitalizado por una base conservadora que aventaja a los
demócratas en la motivación de ir a votar, no está buscando un moderado de la
gastada escuela de la contemporización con la izquierda sino un conservador que
no se abochorne de su ideología y se enfrente con energía a quienquiera que los
demócratas postulen en el 2016. Un candidato combativo que, a la manera de
Teddy Roosevelt, tenga como lema: "Habla suave y esgrime una macana para
llegar lejos".
Un apóstol de los
valores conservadores como Ronald Reagan que, en 1975, le dijo a los miembros
del Partido Republicano que desecharan "su estandarte de colores débiles y
adoptaran uno de colores intensos" que definiera con claridad la filosofía
conservadora. Todos fuimos testigos de los éxitos logrados por un Ronald Reagan
que puso de moda los valores conservadores para beneficio de todos los
norteamericanos.
Desde luego que los
Roosevelt y los Reagan no se producen todos los días. Por suerte tampoco los
Barack Obama. Pero, de cara a las elecciones presidenciales del 2016, los
republicanos cuentan con un banco de candidatos que aventaja en números y en
calidad a los potenciales candidatos demócratas, ya sea el burro locario de Joe
Biden o la sinuosa dama de las muchas caras, Hilary Clinton.
Como la lista total
sería exhaustiva me limitare a los que cuentan con mayor notoriedad en este
momento. Aunque no sería mi primera opción, si los republicanos quieren un
guerrero que no se deje amedrentar por la izquierda, el más indicado sería el
combativo gobernador de New Jersey, Chris Christie. Después tienen a hombres
convencidos de su ideología que no dan explicaciones por sus convicciones como
Ted Cruz y Rand Paul. Y en un plano más moderado pero con las mismas
credenciales conservadoras, se destacan Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan y Scott Walker.
Cualquiera de ellos presentaría una batalla formidable y contundente frente a
un candidato demócrata que tendría que explicar al pueblo norteamericano el
fraude perpetrado por el diletante de Barack Obama.
Los Bush, a pesar de
sus muchas cualidades y considerables recursos financieros, presentarían
flancos vulnerables que no podrían ser fortalecidos con todo el dinero del
mundo. En este sentido, el dinero jamás ha derrotado al entusiasmo y los Bush
ya no entusiasman a la base de su partido. Aunque les cueste reconocerlo, por
el bien de la nación que han servido y amado, deben de aceptar la realidad de
que los nuevos tiempos y las nuevas circunstancias los han convertido en una
dinastía obsoleta.

Bombshell:
Eric Holder’s DOJ participated in IRS Scandal!
Dear Conservative,
The IRS targeting scandal goes much deeper than anyone
imagined!
Last week, it was revealed that Democrat Rep. Elijah
Cummings, the top Democrat on the House Government Oversight Committee, was
instrumental in urging Lois Lerner to target conservative non-profit groups.
This explains a lot, considering how Elijah Cummings was doing everything in
his power to stop the investigation!
Remember all of his grandstanding and accusations that
Republicans were on a “witch hunt?” Well, it turns out that his bombastic
objections to the House Government Oversight Committee’s investigation stem
from his own involvement in the scandal! He instructed the IRS to go after one
of the most prominent Tea Party groups, True the Vote, and was
trying to do everything in his power to stop his involvement from coming to
light!
The top Democrat on the House Committee charged with
investigating the IRS was actually participating in the scandal! Talk about a
conflict of interest…
Well, the next shoe has dropped. Recently released
emails obtained by Judicial Watch now prove that not only was Lois Lerner
coordinating with Democrat lawmakers, but she was also in talks with Eric
Holder’s Department of Justice over how to prosecute these Tea Party groups for
exercising their First Amendment rights!
This is another bombshell that is going to blow the
whole IRS scandal wide open!
Emails show that just two days before the IRS scandal
went public and Ms. Lerner was forced to apologize for targeting conservative
groups, she was actively coordinating with the DOJ to bring federal charges
against these tea party organizations!
On May 8, 2013, Lois Lerner sent an email to Nikole C.
Flax, who was then former IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller's Chief of Staff.
The email detailed her discussion with the DOJ on the possibility of going after conservatives with
criminal charges…
“I got a call today from Richard Pilger Director
Elections Crimes Branch at DOJ ... He wanted to know who at IRS the DOJ folks
could talk to about Sen. Whitehouse idea at the hearing that DOJ could piece
together false statement cases about applicants who "lied" on their
1024s --saying they weren't planning on doing political activity, and then
turning around and making large visible political expenditures. DOJ is feeling
like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see
whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might
do to IRS programs. I told him that sounded like we might need several folks
from IRS.”
The evidence is crystal clear! Not only did Lois
Lerner collaborate with a sitting Congressman to harass Tea Party groups
applying for a tax-exempt status, but she was also coordinating with the DOJ
and Federal Election Commission to prosecute those groups that were already
exempt!
Every week, new evidence comes to light proving just
how scummy Lois Lerner is. And with each passing week, documents are revealed
showing that the IRS scandal stretches even further up the chain of command
within the Obama administration.
Remember when Lois Lerner told the country that the
scandal was nothing but a few rogue IRS agents in Cincinnati? How laughable is
that!?
Not only have we proved that Lois Lerner was at the
heart of the scandal, but now we have evidence linking a ranking Democrat
Congressman and Obama’s Department of Justice to the scandal as well!
There is no doubt in my mind now that this scandal
goes all the way to the top! A committee has already recommended that Lois
Lerner be held in Contempt of Congress, however Congress is taking its sweet
time getting around to the vote! We cannot afford to wait any longer!
We cannot afford to wait any longer!
However, Congress simply cannot vote to hold Lois
Lerner in contempt only to turn the case over to the DOJ. These released emails
show an obvious conflict of interest within the Department of Justice. The DOJ
is supposed to hold all parties equal under the law, however the evidence shows
that the Justice Department abused its power to target and prosecute the
President’s political opposition!
Just last week, the House Ways and Means Committee
referred Lois Lerner to the DOJ for prosecution. Are they insane? Do they
really think that Eric Holder will prosecute one of his own?
Remember when Congress held Eric Holder in contempt,
only to tell him to prosecute himself? Not all that successful, was it?
No, Congress must handle Lois Lerner on its own! The
Supreme Court has already ruled in the past that the Constitution of the United
States gives Congress the authority to jail anyone held in contempt for the
remainder of the Congressional session. That means that when Congress holds
Lois Lerner in contempt, it can throw her in the Capitol Jail until next
January!
The evidence is clearer now than ever before. It shows
that top Democrats and Obama officials were conspiring together to not only
prevent Tea Party groups from obtaining a tax exempt status but also to prosecute
those that already had one!
This is a textbook case of tyranny and abuse of power.
We have evidence that two branches of government were conspiring to silence
their political opposition and yet Congress still does nothing?
Every second that Lois Lerner is allowed to breathe
fresh air is a slap in the face to all of the brave patriots that the Obama
administration has silenced over the past few years!
Your Brother in Arms,

Dear Lazaro R,
Did you see my email below? You see, I just filed my class-action lawsuit against the NSA. But that's not the only way to fight unconstitutional spying! I've also introduced the Fourth Amendment Protection Act in Congress to fight this battle on multiple fronts. Unfortunately, not enough Americans have signed the petition supporting this legislation. That's why, if you haven't already, please sign the petition right away! And if you've already signed, please forward it to as many people as you know. Without your help, and the help of people like you, we don't stand a chance. Thank you for all you've done, and continue to do for our Fourth Amendment rights. In Liberty, Senator Rand Paul
Report: Emails Show Justice Dept.
Involved in IRS Tea Party Probe. By Todd Beamon
Embattled former IRS official Lois Lerner last year discussed working
with the Justice Department to prosecute nonprofit organizations that she
felt had "lied" about their political activities, according to new
documents released on Wednesday by Judicial Watch about the agency's
targeting of conservative groups.
The new documents show Lerner's communications with Justice within days of publicly acknowledging that the Internal Revenue Service was singling out tea party, conservative, and religious groups. They also indicate that the targeting may have reached further into the Obama White House despite Lerner's original assertions that it was all based out of the agency's Cincinnati field office. In a May 8 email, for instance, Lerner said that she had received a call from Richard Pilger, director of the elections crimes unit at Justice. Urgent: Do You Approve Or Disapprove of President Obama's Job Performance? Vote Now in Urgent Poll Pilger asked whether the IRS could help the department "piece together false statement cases about applicants who 'lied'" on a particular IRS form, "saying they weren’t planning on doing political activity, and then turning around and making large visible political expenditures. "DOJ is feeling like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might do to IRS programs," Lerner said in the email. "I told him that sounded like we might need several folks from IRS…," she said. Lerner wrote the email to Nikole Flax, who was chief of staff at the time to Steven Miller, who was the acting IRS commissioner. She responded in an email the next day: "I think we should do it -- also need to include CI [Criminal Investigation Division], which we can help coordinate. Also, we need to reach out to [Federal Election Commission]. Does it make sense to consider including them in this or keep it separate?" Lerner, who retired last September, oversaw the unit that evaluated applications for tax-exempt status. Miller was fired because of the scandal, and Flax has reportedly been targeted by congressional investigators. Judicial Watch said on Wednesday that it had obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed last October. The watchdog group has sought documents showing how the IRS had targeted the groups between 2010 and the 2012 presidential election. Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the IRS failed to respond to four FOIA requests dating back to last May. "These new emails show that the day before she broke the news of the IRS scandal, Lois Lerner was talking to a top Obama Justice Department official about whether the DOJ could prosecute the very same organizations that the IRS had already improperly targeted," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. "The IRS emails show Eric Holder’s Department of Justice is now implicated and conflicted in the IRS scandal." Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that has been investigating the scandal, said the new emails underscored "the political nature of IRS tea party targeting and the extent to which supposed apolitical officials took direction from elected Democrats. "These e-mails are part of an overwhelming body of evidence that political pressure from prominent Democrats led to the targeting of Americans for their political beliefs," the California Republican said in a statement. "Now I see why the IRS is scared to give up the rest of Lois Lerner's emails,” Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan said in a statement. The documents "further prove the coordination among the IRS, the Federal Election Commission, the Justice Department and committee Democrats to target conservatives," he said. Jordan added that had the oversight panel not become involved, "Eric Holder’s politicized Justice Department would likely have been leveling trumped-up criminal charges against tea party groups to intimidate them from exercising their Constitutional rights." President Barack Obama has denied GOP charges that the targeting of the groups was politically motivated or illegal, telling Fox News in February that "not even a smidgen of corruption" was involved in the specialized screening. In addition, emails Issa's panel released last week showed that staff members of the oversight committee's ranking Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, had shared information with the IRS that effectively led the agency to investigate True the Vote after the group filed its application for tax-exempt status in 2010. Cummings did not disclose any of those dealings with oversight committee Republicans,Issa charged. In a March 27 email, Lerner told IRS staffers about an April 9 2013, hearing — and the document also suggests that the other Obama administration departments might have been targeting the conservative groups. The tax-exempt status the groups were seeking was 501(c)(4), which allows them to keep their donors private. "There are several groups of folks from the FEC world that are pushing tax fraud prosecution for c4s who report they are not conducting political activity when they are (or these folks think they are)," Lerner wrote in the email. "One is my ex-boss Larry Noble (former general counsel at the the FEC), who is now president of Americans for Campaign Reform," she added. "This is their latest push to shut these down. "One IRS prosecution would make an impact and they wouldn't feel so comfortable doing the stuff," Lerner said. "So, don't be fooled about how this is being articulated — it is ALL about 501(c)(4) orgs and political activity." Lerner ignited the controversy last May when she disclosed the scandal in response to a question asked at a conference in Chicago. Her response came just before the Treasury Department's inspector general released a report disclosing the targeting. President Obama fired Miller — and at least three other IRS workers have been placed on put on administrative leave. In testimony before the oversight committee, Lerner has twice invoked the Fifth Amendment, though she has denied wrongdoing. The panel voted last week to hold her in contempt for her refusals. If the full House finds Lerner in contempt, the matter would be referred to federal prosecutors. Urgent: Do You Approve Or Disapprove of President Obama's Job Performance?

The one thing that could
ruin Obama
Dear Subscriber, A few big moves stand out in Barack Obama’s first Presidential term. * The $800 billion stimulus plan passed in 2009. * The $5 trillion in debt accumulation—the most of any President in history. * The passage of Obamacare… the assassination of Osama Bin Laden… and huge tax increases. But one of the most widely-read financial journalists in America says these events are NOTHING compared to the really big surprise that could be part of Obama’s 2nd Presidential term. In fact, this Maryland journalist says if these events soon come to pass, as he expects, it will result in the most dramatic change to American life we’ve seen in more than 50 years. I strongly encourage you to take a few minutes to review this journalist’s work for yourself. I guarantee it will be worth your time, and a real eye-opener. We’ve posted his full analysis on our website. You can access it free of charge, here. Sincerely, George Rayburn Publisher, S&A Research
MARIA ARGELIA VIZCAINO: El “Día
de la Traición”: La mala memoria de muchos cubanos nos condena
El gran cantante Cheo Feliciano ha
fallecido igualmente el premio Nobel Gabriel García Márquez y pretenden que
se olvide la complicidad de ambos con la tiranía castrista
Por María Argelia
Vizcaíno
17 de abril de 2014
Me duele tanto que la mala memoria de
muchos de mis compatriotas cubanos, sea gran parte culpable de que estemos
condenados por más de cinco décadas a sufrir la peor tiranía del continente
americano, que no puedo dejar de escribir por qué un 17 de abril es llamado
con justicia el “Día de la Traición”.
Ahora que acaba de fallecer un gran artista
puertorriqueño, Cheo Feliciano, no puedo olvidar lo que ocurrió en octubre de
1997, cuando actuó en el Tropicana de La Habana, y las declaraciones tan
favorables que hizo de aquella nación que hacía 40 años estaba soñando
visitar, sin manifestar nada de lo que ha estado sufriendo el pueblo cubano
por culpa de un gobierno totalitario desde 1959.
Tampoco olvido la complicidad del
bolerista-sonero contra nuestra Celia Cruz cuando participó en uno de los
actos más repudiables ocurridos el sábado, 29 de abril del 2000, en el
estadio municipal Hiram Bithorn, de Puerto Rico, donde la Fania All Stars
preparó el encuentro titulado «De esto se trata ser leyenda». Como decimos en
el argot cubano, fue “una cama” lo que le prepararon a nuestra mejor
representante artística cubana. Para presentar a nuestra reina escogieron a
Cheo Feliciano, que pocos meses antes había vuelto a viajar a Cuba para
grabar un disco y se había cansado de declarar las maravillas que encontró
bajo ese sistema destructor. Dicho sea de paso, un disco titulado “Cheo
Feliciano en Cuba” y que de las 10 canciones, sólo cuenta con un tema cubano,
de Portillo de la Luz.
Al salir Celia a cantar la recibieron con
«tímidos aplausos» opacados rápidamente con vulgares abucheos, chiflidos y
gritos de «fuera», pidiendo a gritos por «Andy». Mucha casualidad que ese
concierto estaba respaldado por Andy Montañez y Cheo Feliciano.

artículo “La Cruz de Celia” publicado enhttp://www.mariaargeliavizcaino.com/e-celiacruz.html , o escríbame a mi correomariaargelia@hotmail.com y yo se lo envío.
A esto el admirado periodista Andrés
Pascual en su excelente artículo titulado “La música cubana y el músico
boricua” (www.conexioncubana.net/tres_verdades/la-musica-cubana-y-el-musico-boricua),
refiriéndose a Andy Montañez, Cheo Feliciano y Papo Lucas nos dice, que “a pesar de sus viajes
promocionales pro Castro a la Isla para, a su vez, recibir dosis de activismo
político a desplegar en Puerto Rico por la vía del Independentismo vicioso,
antiamericano y antipuertorriqueño”, lograron un“fervoroso desarrollo
del entusiasmo castrocomunista”. Algo que no le gusta reconocer a los
desmemoriados, o a los desconocedores, o a los oportunistas, o a los que
juraron tan fuertemente a diario que serían como el asesino Guevara, que se
les pegó encima del pecho más fuerte que su propia pañoleta de pionero.
No obstante, nos unimos en oración por el
fallecimiento del artista, del esposo, el padre, el amigo, el
bolerista-sonero que fue Cheo Feliciano, por su descanso eterno y resignación
de sus familiares, pero eso no me hace olvidar que se prestó a darle
legitimidad a la tiranía que rige en mi patria, ni a su complicidad para
boicotear a nuestra Celia Cruz, ícono del exilio cubano.
¡Qué día le tocó abandonar el mundo de los
vivos!, nada menos que el 17 de abril, que se conmemora un aniversario más de
la traición cometida a los valientes patriotas cubanos que fueron a Bahía de
Cochinos a entregar su vida por la libertad de Cuba. Lo que representa otro
hecho histórico, que penosamente esos cubanos desmemoriados prefieren ni
mentar, ni informase al respecto. Por ellos, y algunas cosas más, estamos
condenados indefinidamente a sufrir la peor tiranía del continente americano,
y la indiferencia de tantos.
Por si fuera poco, hoy también ha fallecido
el premio Nobel Gabriel García Márquez, colombiano amigo personal del tirano
en jefe de Cuba, que gozó de muchísimos privilegios que le niegan a la
población cubana. Otra figura internacional que traicionó a nuestro pueblo,
al ponerse a favor de las violaciones de los derechos humanos y la libertad
de Cuba, alabando a un genocida. Su apostasía, vileza, infamia,
confabulación, es imperdonable. Por eso no me alegro de su muerte, pero no lo
lloro. Solo lo siento por sus admiradores, y sus alabarderos, que no
saben nada de lo corrupto que fue el premiado escritor.
Creo que la manera que han bautizado al 17
de abril de 1961, como el “Día de la Traición”, ahora está más que
confirmado, y por partida triple.-
Al
Qaeda Has a Party and Makes the USA Look Foolish.
/
Al
Qaeda recently took an opportunity to poke our intelligence community in the
eye. They did it by conducting a mass get together i.e. party, in Yemen. Somehow our
intelligence missed the biggest gathering of Al Qaeda bigwigs in the history
of the war on terror. More than a hundred affiliated “soldiers” were there,
including the groups most important rockstar.
“In
the middle of the clip, the man known as al Qaeda's crown prince, Nasir
al-Wuhayshi, appears brazenly out in the open, greeting followers in Yemen.
Al-Wuhayshi, the No. 2 leader of al Qaeda globally and
the head of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, has said he wants to attack
the United States. But in the video, he looks unconcerned that he could be
hit by an American drone.”
How
could something like this possibly slip through the grasp of the NSA, CIA and
other anti-terror organizations? Isn’t this the entire reason they have
trampled the Constitution in the first place? We’ve become adept at using
drones to attack a single terror suspect surrounded by his family while
driving down some nondescript desert road, but we can’t find a gathering of
over a hundred terrorists (including the biggest prize since Osama bin Laden)
in a nation we are watching intently?
This
cannot be good, and CNN seems confounded too.
Can you
hear the total lack of understanding in the voice of the reporter? It almost
sounds like she is so completely floored by the brazenness of the video that
she is having a hard time understanding all of the information she has likely
taken in.
Let me
clear things up for her.
"His
message to the United States… was very much the same as (former al Qaeda
leader Osama) bin Laden's: 'We're coming after you.' "
Al
Qaeda is clearly sending a message to us, to our allies, and to the group’s
own allies. They’re back. They’re confident. They’re coming for us.
Maybe
it won’t be here on US soil. Maybe it will be an attack in Iraq, Afghanistan
or Pakistan first. Maybe it will be a show of force in Australia, Britain or
Germany… but make no mistake, they aren’t throwing parties to celebrate a
bombing at a wedding in Yemen. They are reminding us all that they are still
standing.
So what
do we do next?
The
same thing we did on September 12, 2001. We wake up, we go to work, we love
on our families, we worship at church and we enjoy baseball, apple pie and
barbecue. It was a mistake to give up so much of our privacy to the
government in hopes of securing some safety. Our privacy is part of what
makes fighting these terrorists worthwhile. Our government must learn to use
every measure available within the framework of the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights to fight these vicious madmen. Not one inch more. Even if they
promise they won’t misuse it.
We
should fight these terrorists. We MUST fight these terrorists. But we must do
it as Americans, through bravery and sacrifice, because of our Liberty. Don’t
give up what it means to be American because then… what’s the point of
fighting back? Read more at http://eaglerising.com/5717/al-qaeda-party-makes-usa-look-foolish/#lJih6HOSl6cqKm3k.99
‘Now I see why IRS is
scared to give up emails’ Cowboy Byte
Key members of the House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform expressed outrage at revelations made in newly released
emails showing ex-IRS official Lois Lerner coordinating with the Department
of Justice on prosecuting nonprofit groups.
One committee member said the emails
prove why the IRS is “scared to give up the rest of Lois Lerner’s emails.”
IRS commissioner John Koskinen was recently threatened with contempt for
stonewalling the committee’s investigation. Koskinen claimed in a hearing
that it could take years to provide the documents requested by Oversight.
“The release of new documents underscores the
political nature of IRS Tea Party targeting and the extent to which supposed
apolitical officials took direction from elected Democrats,” Oversight
chairman Rep. Darrell Issa said in a statement. “These e-mails are part of an
overwhelming body of evidence that political pressure from prominent
Democrats led to the targeting of Americans for their political beliefs.”

The president of
Petrobras, Grace Foster. / Lia de Paula (Agência Senado) President of
Petrobras admits buying refinery was detrimental
In an atmosphere of election and before installation
of CPI, Grace Foster senators questioned for over six hours
The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry
(CPI) Petrobras has not even started, but the Senate has ever lived on Tuesday the climate of intense political
debate that must take account of the House of Laws on the eve of elections.
For more than six hours, the senators asked the president of Petrobras, Graça
Foster and wove dozens of critical purchase by Brazilian state of Pasadena
refinery in the United States.The value overrated and other complaints against businesses have surfaced in recent months after a Federal Police operation that arrested a director of the company for a number of irregularities. For the first time, a company representative admitted at a public hearing that the deal was not beneficial for Petrobras. In 2006, Petrobras paid 360 million dollars (795 million dollars at the current exchange rate) for 50% of the Pasadena refinery, a value eight times higher than that paid in 2005 by the Belgian Astra Oil throughout the refinery, 42.5 million dollars. In 2008, the Brazilian oil company owns the other 50% of the refinery for $ 820 million. There is no way recognize today has been a good deal. This is unquestionably the accounting point of view
Grace Foster
"There is no way recognize
today has been a good deal. This is unquestionably the accounting point of
view. Pasadena is just one of Petrobras' business. A good project earlier and
which became a project of low probability of return, "Foster said.At least 20 senators have signed up to speak during a joint meeting of the Committees for Economic Affairs and the Environment. The opposition said the spending was unnecessary purchase that Petrobras was being mismanaged. "They're treating Petrobras as a grocery store," said Peter Taques (PDT Mato Grosso), after presenting two other businesses that were negative for the company. Have the ruling, said that Petrobras has been investigated by the Federal Police and the Court of Audit and the way Foster the Senate is a "political action", in the words of Senator Vanessa Grazziotin (PC do B Amazonas) . Foster's testimony to the Senate was seen at the Presidential Palace as a way to give explanations to congressmen and lessen the impact of a CPI. Even so, she answered almost every question. Not only detailed for what reason the state gave shelter to the director Nestor Cervero, who was responsible for the report based board (then chaired by President Dilma Rousseff today) in the decision to purchase the Pasadena refinery. Petrobras are treating as a greengrocer
Peter Taques
In the session, Foster stressed
that within 30 days will end an internal investigation into the ill-fated
purchase of U.S. refinery. He said that Petrobras recently received an offer
for sale of the refinery, but decided not to trade it now. "It does not
cover what we paid, but it's the best offer I've received so far."

CONGRESS - WHILE PROPERTY TAXES GO UP SOME CALL FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
TUITION PRIVILEGES
Who are this people in the Florida
Congress that while sent to work for “Legal Americans Citizens” prefer to
provide for “illegal immigrants” benefits at the expense of Florida Taxpayers.
I rather see “legal Americans” get better tuition rates or even
neighboring states students get a better state tuition rate. But no
some in Tallahassee prefer to work for “illegal immigrants privileges. I ask
“WHY DON’T YOU ALL IN THE FLORIDA CONGRESS WORK TO LOWER PROPERTY TAXES” OR
BETTER YET INCREASE THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION” OR AT LEAST FOR SENIORS OR
FOR A VETERAN.

Trouble looms for immigrant tuition bill
›
The Senate delivered a blow to a bill seeking to extend in-state tuition
rates to undocumented students.
BY KATHLEEN McGRORY Herald/Times Tallahassee
Bureau
TALLAHASSEE
— Thousands of undocumented immigrants fighting for in-state college tuition
rates might have had their hopes dashed Thursday when a top state lawmaker abruptly
announced his committee would not hold a vote on the controversial bill.
The surprise
move by Senate Budget Chairman Joe Negron — which caught Republicans in
the House and governor’s office flat-footed — means the proposal (SB 1400)
will be a long shot for passage during the final two weeks of the legislative
session.
Negron, R-Stuart,
gave a list of reasons for rejecting the bill, including the potential cost.
“If state
colleges and universities can absorb the tens of millions of dollars in
lost tuition, what effect will this policy have on limited financial aid
funds for Florida students and parents?” Negron said in a statement. “I
believe it is imprudent to commit Florida to a new statewide education law
without first ascertaining the present and future fiscal impact.”
But Sen. Jack
Latvala, the moderate Republican from Clearwater pushing the proposal, called
Negron’s argument a “red herring.”
“Just say it
like it is — you don’t like it,” Latvala said. “They’ve got money to do
whatever they want to do. To say there’s not money for this is not true.”
Latvala
pointed out that 20 senators had co-sponsored his bill, meaning there would
be enough votes to pass it on the Senate floor. “It’s just unfortunate to
have one senator stand in the way of a majority of the Senate,” he said.
If the bill
were to die, it would be a significant loss for House Speaker Will
Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, who has made it among his top priorities this
year.
It also would
be a setback for Gov. Rick Scott, who strongly supports a provision
preventing colleges from hiking tuition above the rate set by the
legislature, and needs the support of Hispanic voters in the November
election.
Both men said
they would continue to fight for the bill.

Un matrimonio radicado en Miami, viaja a Europa de vacaciones.
En la aduana de Alemania, la esposa -que
domina muy bien el idioma alemán- mientras hace todos los trámites
conversa en alemán con la empleada de migración:
-“Buenos
días, señora ¿sus papeles?” le pregunta la agente (en alemán, por
supuesto)...
- “Aquí los tiene” responde la esposa.
El esposo, al no entender nada,
pregunta:
- “Mi amor, ¿qué dijo?”
- “Me pidió los papeles” contesta la
esposa tranquila.
- “¿Cual es el motivo de su visita?” pregunta la empleada.
- “Venimos de vacaciones” contesta la
esposa.
El esposo nervioso vuelve a preguntar a
la esposa:
- “Mi amor, ¿qué dijo?”
- “Me preguntó que a qué venimos a Alemania”
La empleada alemana continúa:
- “¿De dónde vienen,
señora?”
- “De Miami, USA” contesta la esposa.
Nuevamente insiste el marido, muy
nervioso:
- "¿Qué dijo, mi amor? ¿Qué
dijo?”
La esposa, un poco desesperada y ya
molesta, le dice:
- “Pregunta que de dónde venimos.”
La empleada comenta entonces (recuerden que las mujeres
se están comunicando en alemán):
“Oh, Miami! Una vez estuve allí hace algunos años. Qué ciudad tan
hermosa, la gente increíble, pero tuve la mala suerte de toparme con
un hombre que era insoportable, vago, machista, preguntón, desconfiado,
celoso que no me dejaba en paz y, además, tuve el peor sexo de mi
vida!".
El esposo sin entender pregunta:
- “¿Qué dijo, mi amor, qué dijo?”
- “Qué te conoce, coño, que te conoce!!!"
