Babaloo's Waterloos: A Pardon For Felipe Sixto

To err is human. To steal is also human and to murder. Being human does not excuse activity that degrades the human condition because not to err, not to steal and not to murder are also human. Man ultimately bears responsibility for choosing what kind of human he will be. If he opts to be a scoundrel he should be judged as a scoundrel. His humanity is not exculpatory. On the contrary, it is what indicts him; for we are far removed from the days when animals shared stocks and scaffolds with humans. It would make more sense for a public sinner to plead that he is closer to the beasts than to man. That, at least, might be an extenuating circumstance, since he could be missing a chromosome or some brain-sustaining chemical which makes it impossible for him to know between right and wrong, good and evil. What makes no sense, however, is to claim that having a conscience predisposes one to unconscionable acts.

Nor are all errors equal. Not every error is mercenary. There are honest errors that benefit no one and unintentional errors that cost us dearly but hurt no one but us.

Felipe Sixto did not err in that way.

He stole $600,000 intended to promote the Cuban people's freedom and ameliorate their wretchedness. He took from one of the most destitute people on earth, his own people, in a manner reminiscent of the sub rosa dealings of Castro & Co. By denying them access to that aid, Sixto not only increased their material suffering but helped to tighten the regime's hold on them. He also discredited better men than himself who have devoted their lives to helping them. By any definition, he is a traitor to the cause of Cuban freedom, a dishonest public servant and false friend.

He "was (is)" also, according to Henry Gómez, "a friend of [Babalú] blog" ["To Err is Human..." January 7]. But, of course, he would be. Sixto's efforts, although not intended as such, helped to build up the steam in Val Prieto's "Human Pressure Cooker." For that he is deserving of a pardon and Henry grants his old Belén classmate one for whatever it's worth (not much). He is especially impressed by the fact that Sixto made restitution to the U.S. government for the stolen funds once the theft was discovered. This, too, counts in his favor because in the end the Cuban people were denied the aid that had been assigned to them because of his malfeasance and, as Sixto himself admits, will likely receive much less in the future because of it.

This cannot but gratify Val Prieto who is on record (in The New York Times, no less) as theorizing that the Cuban people "don't need money," which is curiously close to Castro's immemorial assertion that "nobody needs anything in Cuba." In fact, there appear to be more differences between Val and Sixto on this subject than between Val and Castro. Sixto apologizes for "the delay in freedom for the Cuban people" occasioned by his betrayal of trust. From Val's perspective, however, Sixto is not a traitor but a hero because his actions will hasten, not delay, their liberation by raising the temperature in the "Human Pressure Cooker."

Come to think of it, maybe Val should ask Felipe Sixto to join Babalú's magnificent cadres.

Manuel, please do not close this well written blog. Would you ever consider keeping it open for your most ardent avid readers

$600,000? Once the system goes, perhaps, you all will indict him? I would hope so.

Without this blog Fantomas is dead, guess he will have to read Estrada Palma's repetitions and Don Dominguez retardation and pretend to like them, that's if Palma doesn't find out that the CJB's warnings about Fantomas are true, Tellechea should pay back Fantomas by shutting down RCAB as he has promised, we will miss his writings, but the pain and mental damage that closing RCAB will effect on Fantomas will be priceless, besides, Tellechea could open another blog where invited commenters only would be allowed, Fantomas of course not being one of them.

What a waste of time, nobody cares about close end blogs, if a blog is not open to the masses ,where is the fun then, null

Manuel and Fantomas go hand to hand. One feeds from the other. They both need each others company

I'm sure Manuel will remain open past the 20th . Fantomas will make it happen. Believe me I know fantomas tricks

Maybe Fantomas needs Manuel, but Manuel doesn't need Fantomas, some people don't comment here because they have blogs too and don't want Fantomas screwing them up with his shit.

Fantomas always looks for men bloggers because he is a homosexual, maybe he has a crush on Manuel, if Manuel was a woman Fantomas would attack like he does all the women commenters and bloggers, he hates women cause he wants to be woman but is too cheap to pay for surgery to clip his useless parts, if welfare or medicaid paid for it with taxpayers money he would have the operation, he is a disgussting disgrace to all Cubans.

To err may be human, but erring against those that need it the most is an unforgivable crime!

The Babalunians want a pardon for their thief of a friend because they won, by not getting the money into Cuban hands, Sixto does not deserve a pardon, he needs to sit in prison to think about the monstruosity he commited, getting rich at the expense of his brethen!!
