HAVANA, June (www. cubanet.org) - Those Cubans who depend on the forms of
public information controlled by the regime to understand what is currently
happening in the world, will undoubtedly, perceive a diametrically opposed
reality. This disinformation is the regrettable game played currently on the
island of Cuba.
Let us take just one example. This past May 29, 2003 the "Noticiero
Nacional De Radio", National Radio Reporter, that comes on at 1 p.m.,
transmitted that Amnesty International has acknowledged Colombia, Bolivia and
Mexico as countries that violate human rights in Latin America. This information
was afforded to the island. What about Cuba? Nothing?
The island must belong to another world.
What also calls to your attention is the amount of information --tainted--
logically, through the sources available, that Mexico who lost its absolute
power in the PRI which it maintained for 71 years, and Vicente Fox used this to
heighten his presidency.
How is it possible that Mr.Cesar Arredondo, of the National Radio, could
somehow not have been informed of Amnesty International's condemnation of Cuba's
imprisonment of 75 pacific dissidents and independent journalists, not to
mention the three who where killed by a firing squad for trying to escape the
island by boat?
Is it possible Arredondo did not have access to Amnesty International's
information that Cuba has receded to a new level in its human rights?
It has become so ordinary the practice of manipulation by these government
information sources that it produces a distinct nausea. These are not
ideological wars but a genocide of the mind that is being realized.
