MIAMI, United States. – If the world has the legal figure known as “crime against humanity”, and with a democratic social framework ―fictitious most of the time, but raises immense funds―, why do you look the other way when we attend the most brutal mass extermination experiment known to the West since Nazi Germany?
In Castro-communist, revolutionary, socialist or whatever you want to call it, Cuba has been experiencing chronic hunger, malnutrition and exposure to unsanitary conditions since the coup d’état of 1959. Beyond what the sole official media and the Revolutionary propaganda wants to make the Cuban of the Island and the useful idiots of the whole world see, the truth is that getting sick brings devastating consequences that have nothing to do with the real state of the patient, but with the calamitous health system. The same could be said of the last moment of life and its fateful outcome: the harshness of the act of dying in Cuba surpasses death itself. It is hard to imagine a worse place to live, grow old and die than the Cuba of today.
Because it is not about isolated cases, marginal people, homeless, drug addicts or mentally ill. It is about an entire people that has been systematically and steadily subjected to an experiment of gradual depletion and annihilation by a power group for more than half a century. And since sustainable development is talked about with such pomp, it could be said that these famines and shortages constitute the only sustainable project of the so-called Revolution.
We Cubans have been forced to divide ourselves into lifeless, absolutely dependent beings, on the one hand; and suppliers, helpers, lifeguards from abroad, on the other. Who still has some energy and money consumes them for 24 hours trying to find what to put on the table. But, what about this increasingly broad sector of the population over 60 years of age, what does it do?
The elderly, in addition to lacking the most basic medicines, cannot face the endemic, endless and brutal queues (rows) that stand between the hungry individual and what could be chewable. In this struggle for subsistence that is physically extinguishing them day by day, generation after generation, they are the most vulnerable. Not to say yet, simply, the most disposable. The curious thing about all this is that those who make up that broad layer of the elderly are those once conceived as the new man, the communist ideal of the Revolution. If I remember correctly, it was after the death of Che Guevara, at the end of the 60s, when this social engineering project was promoted. Today those generations of those who were once young and revolutionary, suffer, wander, cry and crawl for a bit of food.
The question is: who is to procure it? Ironic fate! It will be precisely his counterpart, his enemy, his opponent, the antipode of the New Man: the worm. On the other side of a political repression ―invisible to the Western eye― of the young generations of Cubans, the absence of medicines and hunger are preying on the elderly. What’s the matter? Doesn’t the democratic world know that the “imperialist blockade” does not apply to food and medicine? So, what are you waiting for to bring those responsible for this holocaust to trial?
