Babaloo's Waterloos: Punishing the Cuban People for Castro

"The majority of the people in Cuba have taken the easy way out and gotten used to living off the remittances from their relatives outside the country and many prostituting themselves in the streets. It pains me to say this but they have what they deserve as they should have stood up to the tyranny a long time ago instead of becoming leaches to their relatives in exile and loosing their moral values. They rather be eaten by sharks in the FL straits that stand up public[ly] against the regime. A country having people with that kind of moral fiber does not give you much to hope for. I sincerely hope to be wrong but so far the evidence to support my claim is overwhelming." — FreedomForCuba [Enrique Valle], "Fret Not, Folks. Hillary Is On It," Babalú, January 14, 2009

Babalú doesn't have many commenters left, but the few that do remain out-Val Val when it comes to their contempt for Cubans and their desire that they would all perish by confronting with bare fists the well-armed gang of homicidal thugs which has held our country hostage for 50 years, and which they themselves did not or could not confront, nor the "Good Old U.S.A." when it had the chance in 1961 before it became the guarantor of Communism on the island.

The only solution that the Babalunians offer for ending our country's crucible is to starve the Cuban people into rebellion and prevent exiles from visiting "the island of sick and ailing grandmothers," as Val puts it. I have always found it hard to understand how someone who so publicly cherishes his own family can have such overarching disdain for others less fortunate whose parents and grandparents are trapped in Cuba and require their assistance far more than Val's own parents do or anybody's parents stateside. Does the fact that they are on the island place them in a lower order of humanity and release their relatives from the moral obligation of coming to their rescue in their greatest need? Can patriotism, which is paternalism on a national scale, ever require us to be patricides? To defeat Castro must we pattern ourselves in his image and show the same disdain for our countrymen and their needs which he does? Must we destroy the Cuban family, the only bulwark against Castroism which Castro himself has not been able to topple, in order to win a Pyrrhic victory over him? Do Val & Co. want a nation of free men in Cuba or another Pompeii?

Hillary's announcement that the Obama administration would scrap the restrictions on travel and remittances imposed by Bush in 2004, effectively shutting off Val's "Human Pressure Cooker," has him disconsolate at the thought of the "millions in ransom monies" that will be paid to Castro "without something in return." What does Val expect from Castro? That he will renounce his monopoly on power in exchange for his 20 percent cut on remittances or the opportunity to overcharge visitors to the island for everything? Castro would first outlaw remittances and family visits than relinquish even one iota of power to his enemies. The suffering of the Cuban people is as meaningless to him as it is to Val, and the Cuban people themselves as expendable.

Many will recall Val's candid confession that he would not pay a cent to ransom his wife if she were held hostage by kidnappers threatening to kill her. Wives, of course, are replaceable; and so, in Val's mind, is the population of Cuba. Replenishing one's depleted bank account is a trickier business. This attitude of deutchsmarks über alles explains a great deal about him, but it is not and has never been the majority opinion in the Cuban community. To starve those that you love in order to remodel your kitchen, and then raise greed to the pinnacle of human virtues to disguise your own venality, bespeaks a decrepitude of the soul that even the greatest adversity has yet to inflict on the Cuban people. The greatest irony of the last 50 years is that Cubans have survived because they have cultivated the spirit of solidarity that the regime has continually preached, except that it has been solidarity with one another against the regime rather than with the regime against their countrymen. This is the great lesson that Val has never learned and will never learn. He will continue to endorse the modalities of the regime against the Cuban people rather than make common cause with them against the regime. Val is too young to have been a fidelista sin Fidel; but he is certainly a Cuban who would prefer a Cuba sin cubanos.


POSTSCRIPT:

To accuse Cubans of "cowardly behavior" and do so anonymously does not speak well of the accuser. We have, therefore, identified him by name so that his statement will at least seem less hypocritical, and, dare I say, cowardly. He continues spewing his hatred at Babalú:

    A couple of years ago, that is a comment, which Val, and Henry would write a letter to the Miami Herald editor, demanding its removal. LOL, self-loathers!!

  3. Who is the "we" that you write about when refering to yourself Tellechea?

    You write for a one man blog, not a newspaper or a magazine where the "we" terminology is acceptable, be honest and say "I" not "we", your premise for passing judgment on others is false from the get-go if you are not honest, capice?

    Your obsession with babalu bloggers is insane, only you can't see it for what it is, you hate Val because you consider him inferior to yourself and it pisses you off that he has access to powerful people and you don't.

    How many CA blogs have you reviewed Tellechea? a correct name for this house of arrogance and self-praise would be "Review of Val Prieto - Because I Hate it That I am Better Than Him But Nobody in Power Listens to Me But They Listen to Val".

    You should get psychiatric help, you desperately need it.

    The Cubans in Cuba could have followed the example of the Eastern Europeans. Are there no means to use Molotov cocktails and sabotage against the regime? Had no remmitances been sent, they would had done what has to be done already, cut the bull shit, they have become used to feeding off relatives and stealing from the regime and they like it. Why bother with working when you can do whatever the hell you feel like doing all day as long as your family wires you the mula? When was the last time you visited Cuba Tellechea? Your opinions of the Cuban people of today are warped by your illusion that they all long for the day when they would have to work for a living and behave responsibly while obeying the rule of law, wake up, that type of Cuban barely exists any more.

    I am one of the "we" that Manuel talks about. One of the many Cubans that is sick and tired of all the crap the babalusianos write- pretending to know about Cuba- pretending to represent us.

    I find most of their writing REPUCNANTE --

  7. When Tellechea refers to "we" he isn't making a reference to commenters, instead Tellechea is using common terminology of the print and audio-visual media, OK Balsero? If you didn't know that, now you do. Let Tellechea answer the questions, they were meant for him and he knows why that is so.

    I am not a fan of babalu, but Tellechea's self sophystry is beyond the pale.

    Repugnante, not repucnante Balsero.

    Do I consider myself smarter than Val Prieto?

    Yes.

    Is that any kind of recommendation?

    No.

    Do I envy Val Prieto?

    There's nothing to envy and much to pity.

    ok repugnante ... thx

    You are not a babalu fan, but you “sound” exactly like them. There are so many disturbing things in your comment. I don’t know where to start.

    necesitas mi ayuda?

  11. You didn't answer all the questions Tellechea, this blog's name implies a lot, its focus doesn't live up to it and you know it.

    The truth hurts Balsero, most of our people in Cuba are exactly as I described them, it hurts me too but the facts are what they are, that we do not like them doesn't change them. When were you last in Cuba Balsero?

  13. Tellechea:

    Your personal trait that I wrote about shows when you reply and purposely do not use a capital letter at the beginning of my identity, quid-pro-quo sir, quid-pro-quo.

  14. cubanocan:

    I have never capitalized anybody's name when responding to their comments. Blogger never capitalized names either until a month ago. Its habit has stuck with me and I see no reason to change it less than a week from the closing of this blog.

    Besides, those who use pseudonyms should not be so picky about how their monikers are written, and if they are, they should at least take the trouble of spelling them correctly. It's "Cubanacán," not "Cubanocan."

    Mental projection of the writer.

  16. The pseudonym is intentionally spelled Cubanocon, tellechea, I am very well aware of the history of Cuba and of the pre-Colombus inhabitants' name for it, I don't need your arrogant sly, contrary to your presumptuos assumption you aren't the only Cuban that's well versed on history in general and Cuba's history in particular, tellechea.

    anon 6:52, you opened that can of worms, not me, based on emulating your example and benchmark, el come mierda eres tu, idiota.

  17. "The truth hurts Balsero, most of our people in Cuba are exactly as I described them"

    MOST of the people in Cuba do not receive money from relatives in the USA -- No family to wire the mula.


    "When were you last in Cuba Balsero?"

    May 1997. And, most of my family members and friends work. They do not sit around all day long waiting – they don’t get any money from me, or from the rest of my family that’s out of Cuba.

    Just in my humblest opinion of course.

    Oh and Cubanacon,please stop commenting you are making acomplete ass out of yourself. Everyone can see it except you. lol

  20. MaT, I usually try to leave an approving comment before the madhouse-escapees arrive and start smearing shit on the walls, but I'm a little late here. Nonetheless, another great post, keep up the good work and if you quit commenting/blogging about Cuba entirely once you close RoCAB then I will relentlessly break your balls about it until you open shop in a new corner of the net, and return to providing your readership - and the world - with these sorely needed reminders of the reality on the ground in Cuba and the machinations in DC and Miami. Your prose is art-like, and I for one will not let you off the hook to disappear and stop taking to task the louder, more boorish Cuba "pundits"/bloggers whose works serves only to highlight their ignorance, and the stupidity of those who believe in it.

    But por favor, for the love of God, start requiring commentators to have a Google/Blogger or OpenID account. Get rid of the anonymous/name option. My honest belief is that the quality of your blog would increase with fewer comments - if the reduction centered on inhibiting the tendencies of these idiots who post tangential or totally-unrelated garbage that does not further the discussion started by you in the main post. Please.

  21. Oh, and just to clarify, I'm not saying every commentator not using an OpenID or Google/Blogger acct. is a moron - just that there are many, and the fact that they can comment anonymously makes it too easy for them to come around smearing shit on the walls.
