After reading the official Cuban press, immediately come to mind to one, said popular refrain, repeated over and over Once, for example: "See the stone in the eyes of others and not the beam in your own," "Throwing rocks at the neighbor, taking the glass house." And it's not a day goes by that does not criticize the "wrong" in the United States, although here the situation is the same or worse. The Americans are the target of any journalist who wants to climb, just censure against them.
This is the case of Juana Carrasco Martin, a lady who frequents the Roundtable, daily political program on national television. During their interventions, in this "show", it shows the worst gestures you can do with your face, or maybe it always has that grin on his face bitter.
On Friday 4 March, the newspaper Juventud Rebelde "newspaper of Cuban Youth," published his article under the title "The FBI returns to the fray." A count from the Patriot Act that established George W Bush during his presidency, to vote of 9-month extension gave the House of Representatives in February and subsequent approval in the Senate.
The article is an attack on the Obama administration, to maintain the practice of listening to phone calls, in collusion with private companies. Also reports that the procedure can be used to e-mails and calls to privacy laugh or mourn, as the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) has no respect for its citizens or the world. Rate United States of America as a police state.
What characterizes this news is not exactly attack the neighboring country, but it comes just a week after disclosing a television documentary on Cuban dissidents, which can be heard personal telephone conversations recorded by the State Security, displaying photos the face of opponents to listen to it and "rough" voice assemblies.
If you establish a relationship between what was adopted as law in the United States and what is done in Cuba, should be explained that Article 57 of the Constitution stipulates: "The correspondence is inviolable. It can only be seized, opened and examined in cases provided by law Secrecy is maintained on matters other than those which led to the examination. The same principle is observed with regard to communications cable, telegraph and telephone. "
This implies that here the constitutional provision is violated, and exposed through the media, the telephone conversations that were previously recorded, has a criminal nature and that the Government is responsible for enforcing the law, commit a crime of trespass.
According to the journalist in question, the FBI continues its history of abuses and spying on Americans, but makes no mention of the Cuban State Security, which these days has shown what he has done for over 50 years, the way that harassing those who have the same ideas that in power, including police violence, in particular with the Ladies in White, and even the practice of inserting in the opposition groups of the political police agents to snoop, it certainly makes the dissident activity in the country is public.
communications control allows the police policy to leave the cell unserved opponents, and also seized at the time they deem relevant, something that is not established in the Patriot Act. He also removed the connection to landlines so they can not communicate when close to the dissidents in their homes, sometimes for days, and become prisoners home.
to all this we should add, that those who are attacked so often by the press, do not have the opportunity to respond, since there is no freedom of expression in Cuba and there is a total media control as well as journalistic work is audited, so that anyone who "go outside" use the same terms and the same language.
This double-sided with those who lend themselves to pandering to the dictatorship, leaves much to be desired and is far from what really should be the ethics of a journalist. That's why this woman writes about something that happens with the neighbors, but here is enhanced. But as always, all the blame lies with the Yankees.
