Carlos Puebla - Yanquees Go Home

"Yankee Go Home and Leave Us Alone..."

...and DO stay away

It amazes me that YOU keep your claws a grip...

Upon Latin America, a peoples who wish not to play...

...with you in your WELL OVER-SIZED sand box...!

Exploitation, first by Europeans...then movin' to a new nation being born upon blood..

Christopher Columbus brought with him the enslaving sugar cane...

The Colonies of the U.S. were exploiting the Caribbeans for slaves, and the makings of rum all of which came in flood...

Spain had already wreaked havoc upon the people and the natural resources...

AND THEN CAME THE YANK...!!!

The Banana Republic, metals, ores, coffee, rubber, oil and on and on and on...

All to fill the Bank of the Yank!!!

Today, the exploitation continues on...

NAFTA, creating poverty, keeping people in poverty...

Elected leaders toppled, coups,CIA WARS, and yes, even assassinations... 

Manipulation of elections, sabotage of leaders doing good for the people...

If you knew it all you would, hopefully, be quite upset...

You hear dictators, corruption, violence, immigrants...

But, Latin America is so much more...

The corruption began with colonization...

The people of Latin America are full of love and spirit...

And, they DO desire their right to rule, their right being sovereign...   

Their right to dignity...

And, not to continually and ruthlessly, be squashed upon by the entity of El Norte...the North...

I thank you so all of my beloved readers, I have so much more to say and this is just some simple prose that I needed to express for the love that I have for my beloved Latin America

Tomorrow night I shall put up a pictorial of the spirit of the Latin heart...

Dr Mads Gilbert talks about his Gaza strip experience

"I HAD TO WRITE"

PREFACE TESTIMONY

by Norwegian Doctor Mads Gilbert to his book "Night in Gaza"

"This book is a testimony, not an academic thesis or a neutral journalistic report.

     This book is my account of what I witnessed in Gaza in the summer of 2014. It is the story of some of the human cost paid by the Palestinian people for enduring the Israeli occupation. For almost seventy years, they have been living under an increasingly brutal apartheid regime and constant military attacks. Many older Palestinians still remember what happened in 1948  in the Nakba, the Palestinian Catastrophe, when the state of Israel was created on their land. Large parts of the population in what was once Palestine were driven from their homes, towns and villages by armed forces and terror. Most of the Palestinians in
Gaza are refugees in their own country.

     The elderly generation who remember the Nakba say a part of my life and  that the attack this summer was worse than in 1948.

     I have been carrying out medical solidarity work for the Palestinians since 1981. It has become a part of my life and a great source of joy, sorrow, inspiration and disappointment. For the the past fifteen years, I have been working in Gaza with the Palestinian health service, making at least one trip a year to teach, organise projects, perform research, learn or carry out actual emergency medical treatment, especially in periods of war. Since 2006, I have witnessed at close hand four attacks by the Israeli military on the population of Gaza. Each time it happens I feel anxiety coming me over me in Norway. I know that I must go..."

..."What I experience was awful,  and it was immense. The sounds of bombs and screaming, bodies torn to pieces and a society reduced to rubble, but I also saw camaraderie, dignity, human courage and unflinching resolve.

     I had no choice but to write. 

     The story of the Palestinians is best told by the Palestinians themselves. They rarely appear in the mainstream Western news sources, especially not in the United States, where the well-oiled and loudly voiced official Israeli account dominates, leaving no space for telling about the Palestinians' suffering or for self critical analysis, just the usual claims about 'Palestinian terrorism' and  'Israeli self-defense'.

This is all that I will write of Mads Gilbert TESTIMONY...his words you must read or listen to yourself. I simply wanted to share a part for I find this man beyond incredible and humane...

Oh, one last paragraph...When a pen, a camera, and a stethoscope are seen as security threats, we know we are dealing with a regime that is afraid of the truth and that believes power confers rights,"

Dr. Mads Gilbert-A Night in Gaza

Dr. Gilbert, I do hope that you do not find my writing parts of your  book as a way to take your work. I only want to use your work to shed light upon the world as to what you are doing for I find you one of the most noble person upon this earth.. You have much to share and teach to a world that needs to opens its eyes and its hearts. I thank you so very much...
