Un mosquito intenta picar a un elefante

Chavez, Usted no llega ni a los tobillos de Vargas Llosa. Así que, a menos que tenga que decir algo constructivo, cállese la boca xenofobo.

Silvio Rodriguez Interview (in Spanish)

"El pluripartidismo no es garantía per se de que los pueblos se gobiernen; más que partidos, hace falta más voluntad de hacer justicia"

por Bruno Binbi

En estos días usted ha denunciado que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos le ha negado la visa para el viaje que pensaba realizar para participar en las celebraciones por el 90º cumpleaños de Peter Seeger. ¿Podría relatarnos lo sucedido?

Sucedió que fui invitado por la familia de Pete Seeger a formar parte de un homenaje que se le hizo el pasado 3 de mayo, cuando cumplió 90 años. Para mí era un honor formar parte de la celebración de una vida dedicada a cantar a favor de muy buenas causas. El abogado del evento me ayudó a solicitar una visa especial que el gobierno norteamericano tiene instituida para eventos culturales. Todos estábamos entusiasmados con ser parte de un reinicio de intercambios culturales entre Estados Unidos y Cuba, pero la realidad es que la visa no llegó. No la negaron; técnicamente todavía está en trámites, pero no llegó para lo que fue solicitada. El revuelo se produce porque unos días antes Obama había declarado que tenía la intención de cambiar las relaciones de los Estados Unidos con el mundo, incluyendo a Cuba.

Ex-Padre Alberto

"El trabajo parroquial y de los medios, me presentaron todo tipo de personas -incluso muchos hermanos sacerdotes que también luchan con diversos temas de la sexualidad humana y el celibato que nos exige la Iglesia."

Yo apoyo el celibato sacerdotal. El celibato es precisamente la diferencia entre los sacerdotes y los seguidores de la parroquia.

Ex-Padre Alberto solo busca acaparar la atención del público. Estos no son momentos de salir en la tele pidiendo el perdón de los creyentes, mucho menos querer justificar sus acciones y esperar el perdón de sus seguidores como si nada hubiese pasado. A mi lo que mas rabia me da, es que el hombre no tiene cara de arrepentimiento. Durante la entrevista dijo que seguirá sirviendo a Dios porque según el, "nació para servir a Dios", así piensa este degenerado.

El falto a sus principios como padre ocultando su relación por 2 años (según el) y de no ser descubierto, seguiría viviendo en la más grande hipocresía...

27 de Febrero - reflexion

Hay hombres llenos de " heroísmo viril " andando por todo este mundo que al igual que Duarte adoramos nuestra patria, dispuestos a dar la vida por esta.

Hoy Duarte estaría avergonzado, no con su gente, sino con los lideres; su corrupción, injusticias, falta de heroísmo viril que como consecuencia ha deslustrado la imagen de nuestra patria y el valor de la misma.

Nuestro suelo pertenece a instituciones/empresas/naciones que no tienen el mas mínimo interés en el bienestar de la patria pero si ejercen derecho de retención sobre ella puesto a su masiva deuda a estas mismas. Llegara el día cuando la sangre del " heroísmo viril " tendrá que ser derramada para así ser liberada de la imposición extranjera y el abuso político a nivel nacional.

Habrán mujeres que limpiaran mucha sangre.
De Quisqueyanos valientes.
Sangre de revolución.
Del Patriotismo emergente.

La tercera independencia
Invicto hasta la muerte!

27 de Febrero



A mis conciudadanos,
Feliz dia de nuestra Independencia
165 Años y muchos muchos mas


Dios, Patria Y Libertad !

Stick with Love, Mr. Holder


" One can not truly understand America without understanding the historical experience of black people in this nation. Simply put, to get to the heart of this country one must examine its racial soul. "
- AG Eric Holder

The racial soul of this great nation is examined everyday in every community college, university and high school classroom where black history is discussed in great detail. Your remarks, Mr. Holder, are an abomination to the spirit of Langston Hughes and his " Dream Deferred "poem - we have come a very very long way since those days.

This kind of rhetoric is a slap on the face to the many White Americans (young and old) , but also very insulting to those of us who make up the melting pot -- We all voted for President Barrack Obama without regard for race, creed, color, religion !!!

There is no "getting to the heart of this country" because the heart of this country was pounding, like never seen before, on election day !! -- Mr. Holder I sincerely think you have to do some soul/heart-searching of your own.

" ... I believe we continue to be essentially a nation of cowards."
- AG Eric Holder

My interpretation is that Mr. Holder believes we are cowards because we don't truly understand the historical experience of Black Americans - as if the country revolves around him.
Mr. Holder you could not be more wrong to generalize Americans in this way, and even though your remark may have been directed towards racists entities/people in this country, you are in no position to do so as the Attorney General of our great nation. By doing so you have empowered them and discredited your position as AG.


"we simply dont talk enough about things racial" -AG Eric Holder

I dont think Mr. Holder realizes all we do is talk about race.
For instance take the new generation of young Americans from immigrant parents, who come from different cultural backgrounds ; Mexican-American, Indian-American, Muslim-American, etc... We all share a common *American* bond that transcends cultural differences. Furthermore, it is because of the African American experience that as a nation we have learned to respect and embrace our individual cultural heritage.


I leave you with this Mr. Holder,

" I have decided to stick with love.
Hate is too great a burden to bear."

My .02 cents about Market America

For starters, the Market America business isn't for everyone, but yet during the presentation they will make it seem like anyone can do it and make tons of ca$h at it in a relatively short period or the long-term. Well, you better think twice !!

-- PLEASE DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE YOU JOIN --
ask these questions to the speaker giving the presentation or anyone who claims to have made boatloads of money:

1. How much money did you make last month?
2. How much did you make last year? (ask for 1099)
3. How much product did you sell last (fill in the blank)?
4. How many people are in your “downline” ?
5. How much of your own product did you buy?
6. What happens if you don't meet your quota?
7. What's required to leave the business?

[ Thanks to Grant Ingersoll (www.grantingersoll.com) for questions 1-5 and the commission evaluation below. ]


During the presentation the speaker might say that Market America has over 100,000 business owners. If so, after presentation is over, present him/her with the following hypothetical figures:

Say that out of 100,000 owners only 20,000 treat it like a real business and make an avg of $60K per year --

$60,000 per person X 20,000 owners = $1,200,000,000 per year!!
( yep , billions!! )

Now according to their 2005 annual report, the commission paid out was a mere $163M. That's quite a large gap in difference !!
In 2006 their commission paid out was slightly higher at $195M.
Still nowhere close to being rich as they claim in their presentation.

Here is one more thing to consider --

If the speakers at these presentations have made so much money, in such short time (the 2-3 year plan) why don't they log in to their $20.00/month "back-end" reporting website and disclose their yearly income to everyone ??

Better yet, ask for their 1099 !!

As I said to the person who tried recruiting me, who isn't a bad person at all - show me the money !! I shall track his progress and divulge my findings here.

I will change my bias view on the issue when I actually see proof (in form of a 1099)of a business owner making the kind of money claimed in their presentation .

On this Valentine's Day,

I...

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the french I took

But on this Valentine's Day
There's one thing I do know
I know that I LOVE YOU !

Even though Cupid's arrow backfired on me.. jeje
