Restless in Int'l Solidarity, Focused on Food Self-Sufficiency & Fighting Corruption/Inefficiency/Negative Cultural Impacts

Dear Sisters/Brothers;

The Cuban revolutionary leadership is mobilizing every sectors of the society not only to be be aware of international issues, and in particular the struggle of the Palestinians against the ongoing genocide in Gaza, but also calling on every single Cuban to take the lead in producing more food stuffs and be efficient in the use of resources while tirelessly fighting the negative impacts of the dog-eat-dog culture which finds its way onto the Cuban society through the tourism industry as well as the continuous bombardment of revolutionary Cuba with individualistic approaches to the problems facing Cuba due, fundamentally, to the genocidal U.S. blockade of Cuba intensified with the inclusion of Cuba in the U.S. State Department's list of "state sponsors of terrorism" complemented with openly financing and leading terrorist acts originating from the U.S. territory as we are writing these lines.

The developing and the developed -including Canada and the U.S- nations have always and are today enjoying the unconditional expressions and acts of solidarity by the Cuban Revolution. Tens of 1000's of medical students, only in this area and not to mention other fields of science and culture, have graduated and are graduating in Cuba through scholarships provided for free. 

While the imperialist "democracies" are enabling the genocidal acts of the apartheid state of Israel to take place; some 1000 Palestinian students are studying medicine to save lives! That is why the banner holders of "democracy" and "human rights" are determined more than ever to suffocate the Cuban people into submission which has been their policy since the very first day of the revolution. And the Cuban revolutionary leadership is standing tall today by adhering to Che Guevara's "one, two, three more Vietnams" and Marti's "homeland is humanity" ("patria es humanidad").

Having observed waste of food, resources, labor and morale in installations run by the Ministry of Tourism-which is the second most important sector of the the Cuban economy in earning hard currency- it is an opportune time that a very detailed attention be made in order to put a stop, once and for all, to the economically destructive and at the same time morally damaging consequences that are taking place on a daily basis especially in fully state-owned hotels and car rental agencies with different names!

To be concrete I give the following examples with photos attached:
a) May 2022 Hotel Kawama in Varadero- boiling fish which becomes almost non consumable; rotting of 100's of coconuts in the hotel's garden, over serving food and drinks resulting in waste; and the numerous car rental facilities covering the 1a Ave in Varadero from Hotel Kawama to ...  and still one not being able to rent a car if not requested before arrival in Cuba! 

b) May 2023, May 2024 Hotel Club Amigo Guarda La Vaca- Asked to dance with music by outright terrorist sympathizer Gloria Stephen in a cultural presentation by Evolucion Group; destruction of aluminum handrails and replacement by marble, to installation of a bar on the roof of the hotel where almost no one knows that it exists to major renovations in rooms where gigantic lights stop one from sleeping if another takes a shower to countless number of gardeners who water the grass and flowers while so much space could be used to plant vegetables of all kinds for the consumption of the hotel guests and workers which would not result in such a negative impact on the morale of the workers that one would not even pick the beautifully ripe cherry tomatoes from the hotel's fields!

Ay mi madre! It is time to give the task of inauguration of new hotel installations to the Pioneer Organization who do such marvelous work of controlling the ballot boxes in election times and they could certainly very easily assist in such ceremonies; and the Ministry of Tourism shall be paying detailed attention to the work or rather mismanagement of the fruits of the work delivered to tourism in order to create much needed hard currency! 

The recent plenum of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party and the commitment of the leadership to combat corruption; striving for efficiency with creativity; and appealing to the masses to be involved in every step of the way to defend the conquests of the revolution and its socialist character while fighting the indiscipline and anti social culture promoted and advanced by the imperial system and its conscious or unconscious agents in Cuba shall be combatted with very expansion of the cultural achievements of the revolution where no vulnerable person will be left behind.

No amount of self-sufficiency is enough to fight the difficulties created by the imperialists to suffocate the revolution if cultural values are not cultivated and the legacies of the historical leaders of the Nation and the Revolution- from Hatuey, Maceo to Marti to Fidel to...- in ethical, humble, principled and internationalist acts are not recalled, respected and continued. As Che Guevara wrote in an article, A Party of Working Class, in 1963, "We must always hold high the banner of human dignity raised by our [Jose] Marti, who was a guide for so many generations and is present today, as fresh as ever, in Cuba's reality: "Every true man must feel on his own chick every blow dealt against the chick of another.""
The Cuban Revolution for every minute that is standing tall against the imperialist thievery, butchery, war machinery and genocide—like the ongoing genocide in Gaza—is a beacon of hope for humanity that is dying for a bit of dignity and peace amongst nations. In the words of the internationalist revolutionary leader of the Cuban Revolution, Ernesto Che Guevara, who addressed the workers that surpassed their production quota and were being rewarded on August 21, 1962 titled NEW CULTURE OF WORK: 
"... sacrifice is part of building a new society. We must be ready to make the relative sacrifices we have made, as well as new ones. We must be prepared for tighter blockades, to beat back who-knows-what attempts by the invader to destroy our society. We must always hold aloft our banner as the first to begin building the socialist society in Latin America. That is an honor and an example. It is an example that will nourish the countries in Latin America."

 
It is with pride that we will be celebrating this year's anniversary of July 26, Cuba's Rebellion Day, and dedicating it to the heroic people of Palestine who are experiencing yet another genocide of "Dantesqie-like" proportions in the long history of their dispossession since 1948 and their sacrifices for a Free Palestine From the River to the Sea! 

 
Long Live the Cuban Revolution & Its Internationalist Banner!
Long Live July 26!
Cuba Will Overcome! Cuba Vencera!
