September 18, 2010 at 10:25 P.M. Several efforts to reach these blogs were obstructed, the First Lady's name was altered, other "errors" appear to have been inserted in writings. I will do my best to locate these alterations and make the necessary repairs. It is no longer possible for the authorities to deny participating in or ignoring this course of criminal censorship damaging my blogs. The American media's silence speaks for itself. ("You give us three minutes, we'll give you the world.")
August 30, 2010 at 8:18 P.M. After the recent wave of computer crimes, this essay was defaced once again. I can only hope to have made all of the necessary corrections until the next violations of copyright by N.J. and Miami Cubanoids.
August 15, 2010 at 12:04 P.M. A review of a book listed as by "John Paul Rathbone," The Sugar King of Havana: The Rise and Fall of Julio Lobo (New York & London: Penguin, 2010) is written, allegedly, by Michiko Kakutani, "When Life in Cuba Was Elegant and Sweet," in The New York Times, August 13, 2010, at p. C22. ("When Life was Elegant and Sweet in Cuba" may be a better title.)
I find it impossible to believe that Ms. Kakutani wrote this review, that "John Paul Rathbone" (Jose Ginarte, Esq.? Mr. Diaz-Balart? Bobby Menendez?) is anyone's real name, or that anyone can take seriously the statements attributed to the ostensible "author" of this work:
"But Lobo was more than a tough guy businessman. He was also an ardent art collector and Napoleonic scholar ... [this is to suggest that Mr. Lobo lived during the reign of Napoleon!] ... 'Tinguaro' [this was the name of a popular comedian in pre-Castro Cuba?] ... " was not, to my knowledge, the name of a large international corporate entity as opposed to a sugar plantation in the pre-Castro Cuban sugar industry.
The following statement appearing in the leading newspaper in America is embarassing to Ms. Kakutani and to that newspaper as well as hurtful to readers who love this once great periodical. This review suggests a level of ignorance of Cuban history that is shocking and insulting to Cuban-Americans and to the people living in Cuba, Cubans and non-Cubans:
" ... Lobo believed, like so many others, that he could control Castro, or that the Americans -- only 90 miles away -- would. [Would what?] Conversations Lobo said he had had [?] with Allen Dulles, the head of the C.I.A., may have convinced him of that. [Convinced who of what?] In part[,] it was because Lobo believed deeply in Cuba and was critical of anyone who did not. [Anyone who did not what?] And [!] in part Lobo continued to invest in the island because events moved so quickly that it soon became too late to stop. [Too late to stop investing?]"
This is one of the most coherent passages in a review ostensibly written by a person whose prose is normally clear and elegant. I say this even as I often disagree with Ms. Kakutani's reviews and opinions. The recent review of Tom McCarthy's latest novel by Ms. Kakutani has convinced me to read this British writer's work. Insertion of texts by CIA (or ex-CIA) anti-Castro fundamentalists and New Jersey's lawyerly ILLITERATES in published works is damaging to the Constitution, to The New York Times, to Ms. Kakutani, just as "error" insertions in my essays are damaging to me. I doubt that the book referred to in this review even exists, but if it does exist, I would not rush to purchase or read this propaganda piece by a probable ex-C.I.A. drone.
This is the drivel published as a favor to the intelligence agencies, perhaps, at the expense of much better work that might be published in America. Blocking my computer's cable signal is not an effective response to these criticisms. ("Manohla Dargis Strikes Again!" and "What is it like to be plagiarized?" then "Let's win one for the gipper.")
This alleged book review makes The New York Times and Ms. Kakutani liars or fools before the world community. I am offended and outraged on behalf of both the newspaper and this critic. ("David Denby is Not Amused.") This is not -- or should not be -- acceptable behavior in America. You must not tamper with the legally-protected writings of others.
Senator Menendez, can you explain these criminal actions or identify the persons responsible for them? Mr. Diaz-Balart, is this an indication of the freedom and legality that you wish to bring to Cuba? Ms. Iliana Ross-Lehtinen, can you explain these crimes at my blogs and sites? Would either of you "gentlemen" or Ms. Ross-Lehtinen protect persons committing such crimes from the legal consequences of their actions? (Encore: "Manohla Dargis Strikes Again!")
February 10, 2010 at 3:31 P.M. "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "What is it like to be tortured?" have both been disfigured by hackers affiliated with New Jersey's government and courts. I have done my best to repair the harm done to both essays. Will the Barber of Seville -- or South Beach -- Marco Rubio explain these events?
November 25, 2009 at 12:55 P.M. A previous attempt to reach this essay was obstructed. I received the message: "Service Not Available." Is MSN "closed"? No images can be posted by me and publishing opportunities are mysteriously denied to me. ("How Censorship Works in America.")
November 19, 2009 at 9:14 A.M. This essay was defaced overnight in the continuing effort at further inflictions of psychological harm and censorship. So far, this effort has not been successful. Tell your friends about this spectacle. ("What is it like to be tortured?")
November 4, 2009 at 6:23 P.M. "Error" inserted and corrected. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
October 30, 2009 at 3:37 P.M. An "error" was inserted in this essay since my previous review of this work about one hour ago. It is difficult to believe that these cybercrimes and the various harassment tactics aimed against me are "coincidental" or that they are not the products of state action based on the content of my opinions. You decide. ("Time to End the Embargo Against Cuba" and "Fidel Castro's 'History Will Absolve Me.'")
October 30, 2009 at 2:16 P.M. "Errors" have already been inserted in this essay posted earlier today. I believe that I have made all corrections for the time being. The process of "error-insertion" will be constant, further harassment, cyberwarfare, interruptions or obstructions of communication efforts must be expected at all times. The goal is exhaustion and collapse into despair through anxiety and induced-frustrations for all victims of "touchless" torture techniques.
C.I.A. "touchless torture techniques" are discussed in "Roberto Unger's Revolutionary Legal Theory." Most of the victims of such psychological torture methods will be African-Americans and other persons of color in the world, together with American prison inmates of all colors, male and female. It is deemed especially effective to use such methods against the family members of "targets," notably children and old people.
The word "torture" in the foregoing paragraph has been altered several times, then corrected by me. My cable signal to my computer is blocked periodically for purposes of frustration-inducement and to insert "errors" in these copyright-protected writings. ("Bulworth.") One "L" in that movie title.
October 30, 2009 at 9:19 A.M. Attacks against this essay must be expected. I will try to make corrections when they are needed.
Neil MacFarquhar, "U.S. Embargo on Cuba Again Finds Scant Support," in The New York Times, October 29, 2009, at p. A8. ("Larissa?")
"UNITED NATIONS -- The General Assembly voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to condemn the American trade embargo against Cuba, with the speeches by the United States ambassador and Cuba's foreign minister reflecting that little has changed despite an expected shift under the Obama administration."
There is a wide perception in the world that President Obama is fenced-in by an intelligence community and military-industrial machinery that has grown out of control during the rule of the Bush/Cheney junta, which was largely supported by Miami's Right-wing Cubanazo factions that often do dirty work for Republicans. Also, Cuba may not be much of a priority for the current American government.
The Obama administration's reluctant and pro forma support for an embargo that is vilified everywhere in the world as symbolic of U.S. efforts at "hegemony" (China) was a matter of political necessity for an overextended Chief Executive without the resources for another political war. It is a costly mistake for the Obama administration in terms of world opinion. More costly is continuing Mr. Bush's torture policies and fondness for "secrecy." However, there is time for Mr. Obama to change his mind on this embargo issue. I hope that he will "recast" the embargo debate in a second term. ("Obama Says: 'Torture is a Secret!'")
Michelle Obama's trip to Spain has done much to enhance America's image in the world, especially in Europe, because the American First Lady is perceived (correctly) as the epitome of grace and elegance as well as concern for the suffering people of the world. No one expects that persons in the White House will vacation in a trailer park. (A letter was deleted from a single word in the foregoing paragraph. I have corrected that inserted "error.")
"The nonbinding resolution has been an annual ritual for 18 years. The vote this time of 187 in support [of ending the embargo,] 3 opposed and 2 abstaining underlined the utter lack of support for the 50-year-old American attempt to isolate Cuba. (Israel and Palau joined the United States, while the Marshall Islands and Indonesia abstained.)"
In 2010, only Israel joined the United States in defending the embargo. Perhaps these events explain my t.v. troubles. Maybe it was assumed that, without television coverage, I would not know of these events or write of them. Although I cannot imagine why anyone would care what I say about these matters. Apparently, people do care. Also, the paranoia among the Cubanazos is such that any assumptions concerning my actions or slanders of me are possible. I have reason to believe that the true number of hits at these blogs hovers at the 50,000 mark. Concerning my experiences of censorship and suppressions of speech, see "How Censorship Works in America" and "Censorship and Cruelty in New Jersey."
November 4, 2009 at 6:16 P.M. A new "error" was inserted and corrected in the foregoing paragraph. More such tactics must be expected from the fetid Garden State. I cannot say whether my books continue to exist or are still available on-line. I am reasonably confident that I have generated thousands of dollars for "Lulu" and that I would create substantial sales for any publisher of my writings who supplies me with a decent-looking book. I am still suppressed and censored in America. I have a copy of a page showing over 6,000 hits at my book's site, but after a recent visit to Lulu, I learned that only "one person" was said to have visited my book's webpage. How strange? ("How Censorship Works in America" and "What is it like to be censored in America?")
"The Cuban foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez Parilla, noted that while President Obama had taken steps to ease the strained relations, many Bush-era policies remained intact, including barring the export of medical equipment and pursuing fines against companies all over the world that do business with Havana."
"The United States has lifted some trade restrictions in recent months on Cuban-Americans visiting relatives or sending money, and opened the path for food and telecommunications companies on trade. But in September[,] Mr. Obama extended the trade embargo for another year."
Political pressure from the Right-wing Republicans who label President Obama as "not tough enough" or "afraid of making a decision on military matters" (Cheney), thus implying that there is, as they say in Miami, "something wrong with Obama's masculinity" may force the President to take tough decisions to "cover his political backside." I continue to hope and believe that Mr. Obama is not so easily manipulated.
There are limits to acceptable political opposition and protest in America. Arranging for the U.S. President to receive an elbow in the face or for the Secretary of State to be embarassed internationally ("Reset Button") are actions beyond the limits of "protest." Disclosure in the media (as opposed to in the hands of affected individuals) of secret documents revealing government policies resulting in great harm may also be impermissible. Once revealed, however, it is the duty of the media to report the controversy freely, including all secret documents.
Mr. Obama was correct on the Constitutional issue concerning placing of a mosque near the World Trade Center site. (Another "error" inserted and corrected.) Everyone, including critics of the President's statement knows that this is true. Unpopularity or wisdom of the decision notwithstanding, Islamic faithful have the right to worship along with everybody else and also to build their mosques on private property.
There is a matter of principle at issue here which, to paraphrase Mr. Obama's first speech in office, "should not be sacrificed to expediency": Human rights means not only freedom of speech and conscience -- the sort of rights violated by the state of N.J. in committing crimes against me every day -- but also rights to health (as Obama must know) and the struggle against hunger. Many of us have experienced hunger and feel for those afflicted with this horrible need and condition in the world. ("John Rawls and Justice" and "The Experiments in Guatemala.")
We are increasing human suffering both with regard to hunger and denials of medicines as well as other vital goods in Cuba (and elsewhere) because of this embargo. The embargo against Cuba violates human rights and costs American businesses billions in revenues. ("Time to End the Embargo Against Cuba" and "Hunger in America.")
Mr. Obama's success on health care, if it becomes final, will be remembered as comparable to LBJ's voting rights legislation and FDR's social security and welfare laws. This alone is a significant humane achievement in American history -- extending health coverage to all Americans. Mr. Obama's sacrifice of political capital for this goal is more than worthwhile. He still has time to do much more during his presidency. In the words of Yogi Bera: "It ain't over 'till it's over."
Mr. Obama's (I hope) terms of office "ain't over." Hold on to your hats: " ... 'The economic blockade has not met, nor will it meet, its purpose of bending the patriotic determination of the Cuban people, Mr. Rodrigues said.' ..."
I certainly will not be intimidated or prevented by threats from expressing my opinions. Enforced poverty and slanders will not cause me to accept or legitimate the crimes committed against me, including ongoing censorship efforts and copyright violations, also computer crime. I prefer that thefts and attacks be limited to me and not my family members. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "What is it like to be tortured?" then "Psychological Torture in the American Legal System.")
"'But [the embargo] generates shortages,' he added. 'It is no doubt, the fundamental obstacle that hinders the economic development of our country.'" Please notice that Mr. Rodriguez Parilla said not one word about Fidel Castro in these quoted remarks. ("Fidel Castro's 'History Will Absolve Me."")
"Susan E. Rice, the American ambassador to the United Nations, said the resolution ignored the oppression that she called the real cause of Cubans' suffering."
I invite objective interested parties from all over the world to examine the 300-400 articles that I have written (all of them supported by objective American sources) detailing the grotesque human rights abuses in the state of New Jersey that include: rape, murder, theft of goods from mentally ill and other helpless people, torture of persons accused and not convicted of crimes, censorship, computer crime based on political affiliation, pension frauds and tax scams -- victims are sometimes persons not even accused of criminality (immigrants) or AIDS patients -- massive thefts of public money, absurd legal proceedings lacking nearly all of the criteria of respected First World legal systems, corrupt judges, protected international child pornographers and promoters of child prostitution, efforts to obstruct and prevent dissidents' efforts to communicate opinions, politically tainted and mafia-influenced censorship efforts, daily sanctioned cybercrime, and much worse. ("New Jersey's 'Crimes Against Humanity'" and "Neil M. Cohen, Esq. and Conduct Unbecoming to the Legislature in New Jersey.")
Whoever is designated by New Jersey's power-structure to serve as spokesperson for this horror (probably it will be a comfortable Cuban-American member of the legal profession who will be rewarded handsomely for doing so, someone like "Zulima Farber"?), the atrocities committed against me speak for themselves -- as does Trenton's delay in dealing with them. Cuba, China and the global community are not easily deceived by advertising industry methods of propaganda in 2010 and beyond. Mary Marban, Esq.? ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")
The torture of family members and totalitarian tactics will not deter the committed opponent of such evil from struggling against these oppressions for the sake of those same family members and all of society. We will not be slaves or laboratory animals in America. Why should we expect others to accept such chains? ("The Winter of the Patriarch" and "Havana Nights and C.I.A. Tapes" then "The Experiments in Guatemala.")
November 19, 2009 at 9:10 A.M. A word was deleted from the foregoing sentence since my previous review of this essay. I have now restored that word to the text.
Cubanazos find the reality of universal opposition to the embargo and disgust at their tactics (or at them) unacceptable and hope to change that reality by torturing persons who disagree with them. This is a good time to delete another word or letter from this text. ("Freedom is Slavery!" and "American Hypocrisy and Luis Posada Carriles.")
The United States has not issued an embargo against New Jersey. Mr. Obama recently visited New Jersey to be photographed with the state's (or Casino industry's) Governor, Jon S. Corzine. I do not believe that there are many dissident writers in Cuba whose work is altered every day, who have been raped, labelled "unethical" in rigged legal proceedings, assaulted in their homes, subjected to hypnosis against their will, denied their own records, and much worse. ("An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry A. Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli.")
Please note that "labeled" and "labelled" are equally acceptable. The latter is usually the older spelling which is more often found in legal documents. Questions? Ms. Kricko?
"Mr. Obama has said that the embargo will be maintained until Cuba eases its domestic oppression, but that he wants to 'recast' the relationship."
Those who have experienced "domestic oppression" in the United States -- like Mumia Abu-Jamal and Assatta Shakur (tortured by the same monsters who have tortured me) -- will, perhaps, suggest that Cuba (like many African-Americans) is still engaged in fighting the last battle of its Revolution for independence and freedom from slavery. Me too. ("Amistad.")
The release of Lori Berenson from a Peruvian prison is rumored to result, partly, from the diplomatic efforts of Cubans on the island. Many distinguished figures -- such as Mario Vargas-Llosa, and many persons of conscience throughout the world -- hope that Ms. Berenson will soon be reunited with her family in New York. Lori is our hermana in this struggle for social justice and we hope to see her home, soon.
Cuba's statement at the U.N., accordingly, is best seen as that nation's version of President Lincoln's "Emancipation Proclamation." This insistence on freedom and independence (from a small country with fierce as well as globally respected pride and dignity) is NOT the sort of statement that our first African-American president should oppose or deny. None can be free until all are free.
Perhaps Mr. "Lincoln" Diaz-Balart will agree with this sentiment? I am sure that Nelson Mandela supports the independence of Cuba and opposes censorship everywhere.
