Whiteheads On My Belly

News implausible


When concluding thoughts on the dismissal of Colombian Senator Piedad Cordoba, began arriving unbelievable news Ecuador. I spent hours listening to them. As the minutes pass, the excitement grows.

At 5:12 PM time to Cuba, the condemnation of the coup multiply. Latin American leaders more prestige, as Chavez and Evo, are voicing their strong reports. The OAS meeting is no alternative. Members Chinchilla indignant and even protest, even the new President of Colombia has said it supports Correa.

President Rafael Correa is firm and unyielding. The people are much more organized. Blow in my opinion is already lost.

to Obama and Clinton have no choice but to convict him.

Bruised Feeling On Skull

Piedad Cordoba and his struggle for peace


Three days ago it was reported that the Attorney General of Colombia, Alejandro Ordonez Maldonado, was dismissed and disqualified for 18 years for political office at the prestigious Colombian Senator Piedad Cordoba for alleged collaboration with the promotion and FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia). Faced with an unusual and drastic measure against the holder of an elective office of the highest legislative institution of the State, it has no alternative but to appeal to the Attorney General himself who fathered the measure.

was logical that such arbitrariness provoked a strong denial, expressed by the most number of political figures, including former prisoners of the FARC and family members who were released through the efforts of the senator, former presidential candidates, who occupied that high office, others who were or are, senators or members of the legislature.

Piedad Cordoba is an intelligent and brave, exhibiting bright, well-articulated thoughts. A few weeks ago we visited together with other prominent figures, including a Jesuit priest of outstanding integrity. Came animated by a profound desire to seek peace for their country and requested the assistance of Cuba, noting that for years, and at the request of the government itself of Colombia, we pay our territory and our collaboration for meetings held in the capital of our country between representatives of the Government of Colombia and the ELN.

I'm not surprised, however, the decision taken by the Attorney General, which reflects the official policy of the country virtually occupied by Yankee troops.

I do not like talking to half measures, and say what I think. Just last week, was about to begin the general debate of the 65 Session of the UN General Assembly. For three days, had discussed the painful goals of Millennium Development Goals, and Thursday September 23 initiating the General Assembly with the participation of Heads of State or senior representatives from each country. The first to make use of the word is, as usual, the UN Secretary General, and immediately, the President of the United States, host country of the Organization and alleged master of the world. The session began at 9 am. Naturally, I was interested in knowing what would the illustrious Barack Obama, Nobel Peace Prize, as soon conclude Ban Ki-moon. Naively imagined that CNN in English or English would transmit the speech, usually brief, of Obama. That way I listened to the debates between candidates for that office in the city of Las Vegas, two years earlier.

time came, the minutes passed and CNN apparently offered spectacular news about the death of a Colombian guerrilla leader. These were important, but not particularly important. I still interested to know what Obama said to the grave problems facing the world.

Does the state of the planet is so that both are doing bobeando and wait for the Assembly? Asked to put in another TV CNN in English and not a word about the Assembly. So, what spoke to CNN? News was, and expected to conclude that aired on Colombia. But it was 10, 20, 30 minutes and was same thing. Incidencias Narraba a colossal battle that was raging, or had escaped, in Colombia, the destiny of the continent would depend on thereof, as was evident from the words and the narrative style of the speaker. Photos and films were shown in all colors of the death of Victor Julio Suarez Rojas, alias Jorge Briceno Suarez, or "Mono Jojoy." It is the heaviest blow received by the FARC, said the speaker, than the fall of Manuel Marulanda and Raul Reyes together. Crushing action, he said. As it appeared, had a spectacular battle with the participation of 30 bombers, 27 helicopters, battalions Full elite troops engaged in fierce warfare.

Actually, more than the battle of Carabobo, Pichincha and Ayacucho together. With the old experience in these conflicts, could not imagine such a battle in a remote wooded region of Colombia. The massive action was peppered with images of all kinds, old and new, the rebel commander. For CNN's news editor, Alfonso Cano, who replaced Marulanda, was an intellectual university did not have support among the combatants, the real leader was dead. The FARC would have to surrender.

Let us be clear. The news regarding the famous battle that killed the commander FARC-Colombian revolutionary movement that emerged over 50 years after the death of Jorge Eliecer Gaitan was murdered by the oligarchy and the removal of Piedad Cordoba, are far from bringing peace to Colombia, for On the contrary, could accelerate the revolutionary changes in that country.

imagine that few Colombian military are embarrassed by the grotesque versions of the supposed battle that killed the commander Jorge Briceno Suarez. First, there was no fighting at all. It was a crude and shameful murder. Admiral Edgar Cely, maybe pregnant with the war part of the official authority reported the news and other dark versions, said: "Jorge Briceno, alias Mono Jojoy, died of 'crush' when [...] building where he was hiding in the forest came upon him." "'Lo we know is that he died by crushing his bunker caved in ', [...]' is not really had a shot in the head '. "Thus told Caracol Radio, according to American news agency AP .

The operation will put a biblical name "Sodom," one of the two cities punished for their sins, she fell a rain of fire and sulfur.

The worst is wanting to tell, even the cat already knows, because the Yankees themselves have published.

The U.S. government supplied him with his ally more than 30 smart bombs. In the boots supplied the guerrilla leader, he installed a GPS. Guided by that instrument, scheduled bombs exploded in the camp where he was Jorge Briceno.

Why not explain to the world the truth? Why suggest a battle that never took place? Other facts embarrassing

watched on television. United States President Uribe warmly received in Washington, and endorsed for offer classes on "democracy" in an American university.

Uribe was one of the main creators of the paramilitaries, members of which falls on the responsibility of the rise of drug trafficking and the deaths of tens of thousands of people. Barack Obama was with Uribe signed the delivery of seven military bases and virtually anywhere in the territory of Colombia, for men and equipment installation of the Yankee army. Clandestine cemetery is full the country. Obama, by Ban Ki-moon, Uribe granted immunity by giving no less than the vice presidency of the commission investigating the attack on the flotilla carrying aid to Palestinians besieged in Gaza.

Uribe in the last days of his presidency had already organized the operation using the GPS in the new boots he needed the Colombian guerrilla.

When the new president of Colombia went to America to speak at the General Assembly, knew that the operation was under way, and Obama know the news of the assassination of guerrilla Santos warmly embraced.

I wonder if on that occasion spoke some of the implementation of the decision issued by the Senate of Colombia, outlawing Uribe authorized to establish military bases Yankees. They supported the foul murder. I

criticized the FARC. Reflection publicly expressed my disagreement with a retention of prisoners of war and the sacrifices that these involved the harsh conditions of life in the jungle. I explained the reasons and lessons learned in our struggle. I

critical strategic conceptions of the Colombian guerrilla movement. But he never denied the revolutionary character of the FARC.

I considered and I think that Marulanda was one of the most prominent Colombian and Latin American guerrillas. When many mediocre politicians names are forgotten, Marulanda is recognized as one of the most decent and steadfast fighters for the welfare of peasants, workers and the poor in Latin America.

prestige and moral authority of Piedad Córdoba have multiplied.

They want oil from Venezuela


Yesterday I said what I would do if I were Venezuelan, I explained that the poor were those who suffered most with natural disasters and reasons why. He later added: "... where imperialism and the oligarchy dominates opportunistic gets a juicy part of domestic goods and services, the masses have nothing to gain or lose and, to the rule, does not care a damn about the elections" and that " In the United States presidential election even move more than 50% of those entitled to vote. "

Today

add that even if the same is chosen the entire House of Representatives, a part of the Senate and other important charges fail to exceed this ratio.

asked why, instead, use their vast media resources to try to sink the Bolivarian revolutionary government in a sea of \u200b\u200blies and slander. What the Yankees want is the oil from Venezuela.

All these days we have seen election bastards a group of characters who, in the company of mercenaries in the local press, radio and television, come to deny even the press freedom in Venezuela.

The enemy got a part of its purpose: to prevent the Bolivarian government had the support of two thirds of Parliament.

Empire might think I had won a great victory.

think exactly the opposite: the results of 26 September are a victory of the Bolivarian Revolution and its leader Hugo Chávez Frías.

In these parliamentary elections the voter turnout rose to record of 66.45 percent. The Empire with its vast resources could not prevent the PSUV, missing 6 per award, to obtain 95 of the 165 members of Parliament. Most importantly, membership in the institution of a large number of youth, women and other militant activists and tested.

The Bolivarian Revolution is now the executive branch, a large majority in Parliament and a party capable to mobilize millions of fighters for socialism.

United States in Venezuela has no more than fragments of parties, tacked together by the fear of revolution, and coarse material desires.

may not see a coup in Venezuela as they did with Allende in Chile and other countries of Our America.

Armed Forces that sister country, educated in the spirit and example of the Liberator, which was incubated within them chiefs who initiated the process, the instigators and part of the Revolution.

Such a set of forces is invincible. I would not see so clearly without the experience for more than half a century.

How Long Does It Take For Gallstones To Develop

If I were Venezuelan


Tomorrow is an important day for Venezuela. They announced the elections to choose 165 members of Parliament, and about important historical event is waging a battle.

But at the same time, news about the weather conditions are unfavorable. Heavy rains are hitting the ground was the birthplace of the Liberator.

Excessive rains affect the poor more than anyone. They are much more modest dwellings, live in forgotten neighborhoods historically, with difficult access, poor roads and less traffic. When the waters invaded their homes, lost everything. They do not have safe and comfortable homes of the rich, broad avenues and ample means of transport.

is not a presidential election. In the only parliamentary population moves little and often play it down.

usually where imperialism and the oligarchy dominates opportunistic gets a juicy part of domestic goods and services, the masses have nothing to gain or lose and, to the rule, does not care a damn about the elections. In the United States presidential election even more mobile 50% of those entitled to vote. Why

however, its massive media are turning this time against Venezuela and subjected to a relentless barrage of lies and slanders against the Bolivarian revolutionary government?

not try to amass arguments to persuade a brave and worthy as that of Venezuela. I've seen the popular mobilization and the fervor of millions of people, especially the most humble and combative, which has had the privilege of experiencing a new stage in the history of his country, and returned to the people the great resources of Venezuela. And their homeland is not a nation of illiterates, where millions of men, women and children survived in extreme poverty.

will not talk about a lived experience that Cuba, which speak 50 years of heroic resistance against the blockade and the hideous crimes of the United States Government.

I say just what he would do if Venezuela.

I face the rains, and that the rule would not take out any profit from them, fight with neighbors and family to protect people and property, but would not go to vote as a sacred duty: when it before rain, during rain, or after rain, while a college open.

These elections are of enormous significance and knows the rule: want to weaken the revolution, limiting their ability to fight, to deprive it of the two-thirds of the National Assembly to facilitate their counterrevolutionary plans, increase their vile campaign and continue around to Venezuela's military bases by fencing with increasingly lethal international arms trafficking and violence.

If there are bugs, not ever give up the opportunity that the Revolution offered to rectify and overcome obstacles.

If I were Venezuelan, even under lightning and thunder, fight their way to make September 26 a great victory.

Can You Get Genital Herpes From Tattoos

I can never forget (Part Three)


Matsumi Matsumura .- Commander, we were with a squad that was working in Shihan and we had a chance to meet relatives of the Cuban Five and learned much about the Cuban Five. Also on board we have been learning on this topic.

As you just referred, on 12 September was the twelfth anniversary of the Cuban Five, and we, the members of Peace Boat, we also want to release, the sooner the better, for our part, from afar, from Japan, we pledge to support this campaign (Applause).

Commander, then what I was saying is that we've been learning.

Also, you mentioned the issue of the education system and health system in Cuba. Now we are here, but as you know, we have many organizations that lie ahead, and it would be good to have more time to learn directly the Japanese people and the Cuban people. What do you think? Cmdr

.- This is an important moment. At the United Nations are discussing, I know that you belong to United Nations as Economic and Social Council members-the United Nations goals, have a conference there, before the general debate. Well, the UN is the only thing that is supposed to have, because sometimes it seems that there is, as we discuss the problems of development, development goals, targets education, health goals, and every time they meet less, on the contrary, each time there is a crisis there is a setback.

The purchasing power of Americans have reduced their own purchasing power by 43.6%. You can imagine an economy that suddenly stop buying much of what they produce services, industry, etc., and unemployment incurred. Unfortunately

one has had to gather much information about the U.S., and I can assure you it is a disaster. It is a "great democracy", so that lobbyists have 12 000 in the U.S. Congress working for multinationals, which cost U.S. $ 3 500 million a year. Are measures of past times have degenerated unbelievably. Result: All the big companies control and manipulate the U.S. Congress, which enjoys the ability to ratify the agreements and approving budgets and laws. If there is a disarmament agreement or an agreement to reduce nuclear weapons, regardless of their lean scope, must be approved by Congress.

no longer knows what is the role of a U.S. president, often can not do anything, and is the man with a suitcase nuke without anyone knowing what it is not the case. Do not forget that when they dropped the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the only two there, and a mediocre and ignorant president decided to deliver them. I have confidence that Roosevelt would not have launched these bombs, it was otherwise, the capitalist, of course, chief of the richest capitalist and imperialist, but a man with extensive education, and certain political ethics less personally identified with the very wealthy. Who came then Soviet allies or told they had the bomb. And the most cruel, it was not necessary to use the bomb, is shown historically, the bulk of the Japanese imperial forces, concentrated in Manchuria, were entirely defeated, the Japanese militarist government could no longer stand. To achieve victory, and in the hands of the Allies, had to throw those bombs, worse, can not claim that they tried to save lives, the advancing Soviet forces raging in Manchuria, and the end of the war was only a matter of days.

If military sought a pretext, why not release the two bombs on installations or military bases? Why are dropped on the civilian population? Why they decided to kill over 100 000 people and create so much suffering? They did know what it was that bomb. And there was shown a film a few days ago where it appears the plane that carried the bomb, was named after the mother of the pilot. Look how proud! What an honor! How do you assign the name of a mother plane that dropped the bomb that killed more than 100 000 people in minutes?

was a cruel, unspeakable experiments at the expense of the suffering of hundreds of thousands of defenseless people who had no guilt some of the war. Junko

spoke of who were in Viet Nam to see the effects of Agent Orange. How many children, how many millions of Vietnamese died in that war? About 4 or 5 million. How many were not invalid by reason of the chemicals they used? Chemical weapons used them in another war, handed them over to Iraq when the war against Iran. The U.S. government has employed biological weapons, used them against Cuba also used the white phosphorous and cluster bombs, napalm and other similar means through allies.

Le is the President the power of nuclear weapons or to start war. After the war breaks out ... And that is especially important, because right now there is a real danger of war and nuclear war. Everyone knows the situation that exists today in Iran. We all know that there are threats on Iran on the occasion of discord on the processing of uranium. Have failed to prove that the Iranians are making a nuclear weapon or proposed hacerla.Tienen research centers, many countries have research institutes, and practically there are about 40 nations that could produce nuclear weapons, including uranium enrichment .

Iranians have research centers have power plants fueled by nuclear power. In a power plant to use that energy, leaving the raw material for plutonium, nuclear weapon used on Nagasaki. The Russians have signed agreements with Iran deliver uranium the Iranians consumed in producing electricity and they take what is left after producing electricity.

I warn that there is a very dangerous situation. Have led a US-Israeli squad to the Iranian coast, the ships are there, have to reach an agreement on the Security Council, based on miscalculations, they think they will break the resistance. My opinion is that they will not bend Iranian resistance, by force will not achieve any agreement.

The State of Israel has been doing programs, has become, we can say, in the fifth nuclear power in the world, and is determined, as it did with Iraq, attacked the nuclear research center, he did with Syria attacked research center, it was in 2007, the war in Iraq was in the 80's, and articles by journalists as well informed and statements of its leaders are known to be determined, if Americans do not attack Iran, to bring out these actions on their own, to destroy the research centers, destroy the plants are operating, or about to operate to produce electricity.

about that I wrote mainly about the dangers of war in that area. Reflections was 26 last, I spoke about the gypsies, one of the groups that were subject to extermination in the Nazi concentration camps, the main victims were Jews, Gypsies, and Russians, under Hitler's cynical doctrine living space.

I have my positions in relation to all this, I have never hesitated to condemn the Holocaust because it was a cruel act, but that is a position and other matters related to the interventionist and warmongering plans of Israel.

All these problems are going. I encourage you to pay attention to that. I do not know what material we can send, perhaps thinking that we have published on the subject.

Well, how many Japanese translators have? Kenia Serrano

.- In Cuba, few, but they can help bring the Japanese. Cmdr

.- We will send the conference also Robock and some other material.

So what we can do is humbly cooperate with you in any way we can. Surely you have the movie Home , French filmmaker Yann Arthus-Bertrand, on the environment. It is one of the best things that have been made.

If they attack Iran to destroy the reactors, nuclear war becomes, simply because the Iranians have developed defensive conventional weapons, have developed the pilotless aircraft, have hundreds of missile launchers, it would not be a surface vessel intact because it can defend in one, two, but not many missiles are launched simultaneously, as far as I have known. Can you imagine such a situation? If you underestimate the Iranians and launch an attack on these places, the losses of the attackers will be very high. The attackers know that a long war would start, who controls such a situation? An order of attack is easy to make, and started all wars, but, in my view, can also be the last, because in that case, would inevitably be nuclear in my opinion. Would not happen, but it is one of the short-term danger is imminent.

We, as I said, we are ready to work modestly and appreciate all the news you could send us, and if they are coming and have time, tell time if we do not interrupt others, again reunirnos.Se promise.

Thank you (Applause). Inoue Nao

.- Thank you. We take advantage

and also learned a lot.

To know the reality that is happening here in Havana, participants made peace boat-good-only just got here know the cruise terminal. Then after we get out of here for the activities as well, the work that the Cubans are doing and also to see directly the activities and policies that you built.

really, thank you. Cmdr

.- No go directly to Nicaragua, right? Matsumi

Matsumura .- We passed through Jamaica, after the Panama Canal and then to Corinto, Nicaragua.

Here I would like to introduce a very important guest who is here, the Minister of Culture of Nicaragua, Commander. Mr. Luis Mora, Minister of Culture (Applause). Cmdr

.- But he came with you or wait here?

.- Luis Mora was here in Cuba to board the boat. Cmdr

.- But you're going to Jamaica?

Luis Mora .- For Nicaragua, for Corinth. Cmdr

.- And the other what is it?

Luis Mora .- We are here with great pleasure to be with usted.Saludos of Daniel and Rosario, the people of Nicaragua to the brotherly people of Cuba, who both want and has helped us so much. Cmdr

.- Thank you.

Luis Mora .- Sure, sure. Matsumi

Matsumura .- Thank you.

At his side, and consultant, the Caribbean, Mr. John Hopkison. Interpreter

.- The Caribbean side of Nicaragua.

John Hopkison .- Nice, on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, Bluefields, where were you, Commander, walking the streets of Bluefields for many years. Cmdr

.- Yes, yes, I'm glad much (Applause). Inoue Nao

.- This is a bell and I hope in your room out a wind sounds peaceful and very peaceful (He hands over the hood).

I would also like to give as a present to our ship, the Peace Boat, which is now in the port of Havana, the Oceanic . Kenia Serrano

.- The ship in which they walk is called SOS Oceanic has Panamanian flag. Cmdr

.- Well, I'll save it. Inoue Nao

.- In truth, many thanks again for having us. We are committed to moving forward our activities and, above all, working with ICAP, which always is providing support to programs here and exchanges, led by Kenya and also the Vice President Alicia Log, which always supports us.

Thank you, Commander (Applause).

(They give him gifts.)

Cmdr .- I think I stole an extra hour, but I hope that others can fulfill. Because of me you are going to leave an hour later (Laughter and applause.)

At this point the meeting ended. The objectivity of what I expressed can be demonstrated.

You could see that when I spoke of Franklin D. Roosevelt, I said that I believe would not have released those bombs was truly fascist and within the economic and political system of the country, not reduce, but raised taxes on millionaires, to the extent that the right hated him, this was represented by Harry Truman in the heart of the empire.

The world should know, and think about the fact that Harry S. Truman, in a radio address to the nation on August 9, 1945, said quote:

"The world will know that the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima a military base. This was because we wished in this first attack to avoid, as far as possible, the killing of civilians ... "

In Hiroshima there was no military base. The point selected was a small bridge in the middle of the city.

Disclose that lie was an act of loathsome cynicism. Truman was conscious and fully informed of the destructive power of the weapon.

On 6 August, upon completion of the 65th anniversary of that monstrous crime, the Canadian academic Michel Chossudovsky himself reported that Harry S. Truman wrote in his diary 11 days before the release of the pump:

"We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It could be the fire destruction was foretold in the Valley the Euphrates, after Noah's Ark .... This weapon will be used against Japan ... [We] will use it for the purpose of military objectives and soldiers and sailors are the target and not women and children. Even if the Japs are savages, ruthless and fanatic, we as leaders of the world for the common welfare can not drop that terrible bomb on the old capital or the new ... The goal is purely military ... may be the most terrible thing ever discovered, but may in fact be the most useful. "

was undoubtedly the largest and most cynical murder of history.

How To Get Rid Of Infinity Sign On Vuze

I can never forget (Part II)


Cmdr .- His father died at what age? Junko Watanabe

.- has 98 years, is alive.

I would promise to you, to convey the reason for the feeling of my brother, who is now dead, and to convey the message that they have all survivors, and to transmit the new generation to the next generation our testimony, I will to continue giving evidence. Thank you (Applause). Cmdr

.- I beg you to excuse me if I make some questions, it is that we care to know everything she is telling, and, of course, if no objection, we will be broadcasting this event through the national television (Applause). We are keen that our public opinion know all this, not just here passing it, transmit it to other countries, to send you news of the meeting. It is of utmost importance to know what happened there, regardless of what has been published, filmed, and all the new things that appear.

I will explain later why I do some of those questions aside.

She had that was in a nearby house, I was in the yard with his brother when the explosion occurs and a cloud of dust. She knows, for others who were aware at the time, how long it took to get that dust on people who were there. Junko Watanabe

.- About 30 minutes, but it did not rain everywhere, but where the wind swept rain. Cmdr

.- Rain. But there was rain and some ashes. Junko Watanabe

.- ash rain really did not exist, but that dust linked with the rain was what came to where they were, it was not separated, it was just something unique, linked with all the dirt and all the things that drew him. Cmdr

.- And there was no ceiling to her, was in a yard? Junko Watanabe

.- We were 18 kilometers from where the bomb fell. Cmdr

.- Eighteen miles! Interpreter

.- Eighteen miles. Cmdr

.- That was going to ask, because there is a bridge, I think, that point as the point, white where the bomb was dropped. Did you go 18 miles?

Your parents were indoors? Junko Watanabe

.- My mom with my younger brother was charged on the outside of the house, and my dad was in Hiroshima, who had worked night and headed for the house, but, well, he was still inside a building. He even saw the plane circled above Hiroshima. Cmdr

.- Before firing. Right.

And the mother was also burned? Junko Watanabe

.- No. Really, where we were 18 kilometers from the place, what we got was all this amount of paper burning, that wave, the wind that came to us, but burned as such, it does not we had.

Had we been a little closer, that is, near the epicenter, I do not think we were doing the story today. Cmdr

.- Right.

I wanted to tell you that we recently had a visit from a very prestigious researcher, a professor emeritus at Rutgers University, New Jersey, and is the author of the theory of nuclear winter. This, in our view, is very important, because it relates to the current dangers facing humanity, and there are many things that are unknown.

This teacher visited our country and at a meeting of scientists did an excellent exposition of his theory, a theory with much prestige, it seems to me indisputable, and is related to the consequences of nuclear war. It does not, itself, the destruction it causes, which would be huge, but analyzes the danger it would mean for humanity a regional nuclear war, even global war.

Part of actual fact, very different from that moment that launches the first nuclear bomb. Taking into account the situation at this moment, that there are 25 000 nuclear weapons in the world. I imagine that many of you know that data. The scientist says 100 nuclear explosions would be sufficient and produce what he called nuclear winter.

bases his theory in a series of investigations that have made American scientists and Soviet scientists before the demise of the USSR, the effects would produce a number of nuclear weapons in a war broke out. They calculated that about 100 nuclear explosions would be enough to obliterate human life on the planet, so a war, for example, between India and Pakistan, with the number of weapons held by each one of them would be enough to stop our species.

I think that although maybe you have enough news, we can provide them with a copy of the conference is Alan Robock, name of the professor who taught here recently, was in this month ", which contains valuable data, which will serve you for the disclosure of the consequences, not only for the damage they cause, of course, Current weapons are far more powerful, more accurate, much faster. The power of existing weapons is equivalent to four hundred forty thousand times the power of either of the two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan, tested the two, one from another from uranium and plutonium. And all these technologies are mastered and used guns with total precision.

arrangements have been made between great powers practically worthless because it does not translate into real arms reduction.

To me it strikes me that if the organization you make contact with him, which is a very generous man, he could offer a conference on this issue.

I asked about the mist, as he explains and demonstrates that as a result of nuclear explosions, everything burns, wood, all that comes from oil, and many other things, as he explained, are burned and mixed with land, produce high concentrations of dust. I have studied all: what would happen if they were two or if they were 10, if they were 100, and has a limit. That dust cloud spread across the world in a period of time, I think no more than three weeks, and the temperature would drop below freezing. Well, I mean, for example, one night in months, not allowed to cross the sunlight. Disappears food production and the consequences are horrible, over 6 000 million people go without food, in addition to the cold.

I got a question when he finished one-hour exposure, with maps, charts, study all the effects of volcanic eruptions, have studied how to extend the dust each time one occurs. Even a recent in Iceland in Europe, created serious problems. They also studied the great fires that have occurred naturally or as a result of war or accident. I ask: "How many people in the world know that information you are providing?" Says: "Almost no one." I say, "And in his own country, how many people know him?" He said, "Very few . 'I say: "How can this phenomenon be explained?" I added, too: "Maybe you have to study it, look for specialists in psychology and other fields to find an explanation for this phenomenon," and he I said then: "I have an answer: this is called denial." He reasoned that when horrible things could happen, people believe them rejected the idea of \u200b\u200bpotential. A

explanation that he gives you could add another, which is connected to the media, the monopoly of the media. Things that happen in the world, although there are modern means, radio, television, films are handled in the way that news is happening, but not explained, and indeed many of the most important are the world does not know, or with news and not analyzed. There are books on that very important, the monopoly of the media, the truth is kidnapped is not known. Two phenomena.

I explained that we were not pessimistic about the possibility of creating an awareness. I tell them, you can create a conscience or not. Of course, if the masses can not read and write can not even be attempted, if the company has a level of knowledge as does Japanese society, then with their own means of dissemination, not only writing, but with words with images, with music, with many events, you can create an awareness today.

I say that this was the case in Cuba. If people could not read and write ... What can a person who can not read or write? If they reach sixth grade or not, if they graduate from high school or not, if hundreds of thousands made college, if they have good teachers, there are different phenomena. The Revolution has not been defended by force, has defended the knowledge, with awareness. How could a small country like Cuba, withstand 50 years of blockade and harassment? They thought they could take the country, or they could cheat, but could not. It was, in my view, a demonstration that can form a conscience, because if we give up the idea that consciousness can be created, then what would be of your work? Because you are traveling the world and explaining, prompting people who knew about it, and telling facts that are heartbreaking, really. Let me explain still better what you are doing because they're feeling, and are carrying people who experienced it, and have the images, have many things.

I was in Hiroshima. I visited the museum. Everything was explained to me there: what resisted, which did not resist, and a terrible images of human tragedy was the picture of children not yet born, pregnant mothers to missing a month, two months, three months, these images there have been printed and are of great impact, and I think there is material to do so. I would say that today there is much more awareness, but it takes a lot more. And the fact is that today all of humanity is threatened by something as horrible as what you have told, and even more horrible still, because we've heard from people who were in the area of \u200b\u200bthe first pump pain by people who died, people were burned, who were injured or were irradiated and have lived more than 50 years. Actually 65 years ago that those explosions occurred, and today thousands of them more powerful and accurate threaten humanity.

scientist theory says that the more a country possessing nuclear weapons, the less chance of peace and security will be. He is to be settled in favor of all nuclear weapons. I go a little further. I think if you love liquidated nuclear and non-conventional weapons are settled, is almost equal.

The destructive power of such weapons is now enormous. A bomb with bits of tungsten, a heavy warhead cover without the use of nuclear energy gains momentum in the space of 25 000 kilometers per hour, more than 20 times the speed of sound, then drops back to no less than 20 000 kilometers. A whole area of \u200b\u200bwhat is underneath is absolutely destroyed. It is not command post, there is no government, nothing remains of the stated objective. This has been published, he explained. The last world war cost 50 million lives, victims of conventional weapons, not including victims and human damage of the two nuclear bombs, which caused more than 150 000 deaths and a higher number of people who suffered burns, radiation and many other damage. The destruction, hunger, disease, affecting much of the world in that war. If there is another world war, would be the last, there can be no other.

Einstein himself said it, I would not know what it would be another world war in the atomic age; but the following would be with bows and arrows.

I had brought a letter to me Robock, the scientist said in answer to a question he did when he was already at the airport back home. In his lecture had passed on some facts about the planet Mars, I contacted by phone and asked where I could get more data on that planet. He explained that Mars had an atmosphere, which given its thin I know. I promised to send information.

Two or three days later was sent.

"Mars has an atmosphere much thinner than Earth's, with only 7% of air ... is equal to the air density of the Earth to 21 kilometers. "

" The Martian atmosphere, he adds, is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide. "

What

report relates to what we are talking about: the effects of nuclear explosions. The impact on climate. What has been said of the environment? What has been said about climate change? Is it that there is this serious problem? Have not been investigated? Is there a prestigious film made with the cooperation of the most eminent scientists on climate change, its effects on rains, the economy and the lives of human beings? This is studied as a second problem in climate change. Ie, do not expect a nuclear war for life on the planet disappears. Just as I'm telling you, for life on the planet disappears.

The economy and life of nations today are based on the consumption of nonrenewable raw materials, among others, the most important oil, a commodity that is consumed at a rate of almost 100 million barrels a day.

Take into account that oil took hundreds of millions of years to form from living matter.

About 400 million years was what was required for the formation of oil, gas and coal. What is spending time oil man that nature accumulated during 400 million years? In just 130 years, humans have already spent more than half of that fuel, whose consumption also has tremendous effects on the environment. Carbon dioxide, so abundant in the atmosphere of Mars, is precisely what makes the oil consumption. Are factors that humanity should know, confront and resolve. Is the price of its existence.

The human population can not grow indefinitely, because the planet we live where we anchored and bounds. Is calculated if I remember correctly, that by the year 2050 the population will reach more than 9 000 billion people. Only 200 years ago barely one billion. The consequences this has in relation to water, food, energy and raw materials are truly extraordinary.

Japan is a country of very limited area for its population, and today about 130 million inhabitants, I have understood, is claimed to be the nation's largest carrier lifetime and a high culture, and its population will stabilize on more than 100 million people. Then it is possible to achieve population stability.

A neighbor of you, China, applies a rigorous policy of population, if not adopted that policy, China now have about 3 000 million. Between China and India own almost half of the inhabitants of the planet.

are realities. People should have the courage to face the realities, if known, as you are doing in relation to the terrible consequences of nuclear explosions. Those born should have preconditions, enjoy a natural life as fully as possible. It is not what is happening. Die each year about 8 or 10 million as a result of hunger and lack of medical care. About talk about it? Some scientists and some politicians. Such news just talked about, to the large multinationals are not interested in the subject.

I know you, in this same trip, we were asked us to send a doctor with international experience, not someone who was thinking so. In those same Cuban doctors, thousands of them in many countries. You certainly would be astonished if they knew what, for example, our small country can do for other people. It is not unrealistic that hold tasks. Matsumi

.- Commander Matsumura, look, what I wanted to comment on our part, you mentioned the internationalist ...

Cmdr .- What is here? Matsumi

Matsumura .- Yes

Cmdr .- Where is it? You can raise your hand.

Let me see if I see you better.

told me you were in Haiti, right? Matsumi

Matsumura .- Mr. Dr. Livan Torero, he worked hard for the people of Haiti after the earthquake and we have invited the ship of peace to give us his experience there in Haiti. And we have next to José Ramón, salsa dancer, which for us is very important know their culture, I think it is a traditional dance and we have learned much about the sauce.

really, thank you for giving us this invitation. Thank you, Commander (Applause). Cmdr

.- I congratulate and thank you very much. I mentioned it because I know the work they are doing and would cite the case of Haiti as a test of what can conscience.

In Bolivia itself is almost 2 000 doctors, are in many places. In Ecuador, which has 15 million people, are helping to investigate and pay attention to all those who for genetic problems or other reasons are invalid, born blind or were born unable to hear. Unable to hear a child becomes mute if you do not know the sounds can not be issued. Many problems can be solved with a small team, to give you an instrument could talk and communicate.

If you are born blind and deaf is a more complicated situation. What will the life of a blind and deaf, who has never heard and never saw?

know the results of cochlear implants and how they learn to listen, speak, listen to music and see the world, their lives change.

I think society should make known to parents, trying to warn the risks and that in certain cases, should not have descendants. Consider that every human being is born to come into the world with all its potential. If for some reason are born with hereditary non-critical failures, we must do everything possible to enrich the lives of these people. Those who can not really be fed, those who can not be educated, those who can not live a normal life, a life worth living, should not be conceived simply.

understand that not everyone can think exactly alike, there are religious influences, I respect all that, but frankly I am expressing my opinion and why. For the human race at present, it is actually the famous problem or may not be, if you survive or not this species, which really quite has caused damage to other living things. Since the human species emerged upset him all the intelligence so far has been a tragedy for nature, and nuclear weapons could ever create a problem as serious as that famous asteroid that fell, they say, on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico, for tens of millions of years and was a long winter. No other species

did that, kept the balance with nature over billions of years, about 4 thousand. The man is new. It came less than 200 000 years, this kind of thinking-thinking what I would say is to show, if not prove it is capable of survive. Excuse me it is a bit hard with our nonsense. The only thing proven so far is that there is no evidence whatsoever that has been preceded by another.

Anyway, all these problems are combined, and I seem to be conspiring to win the battle that must be the goal of human beings. So maybe many wonderful things could be created. How many people

well prepared scientifically, how eminent is the world? 80% of U.S. engineers are dedicated to the military sphere, to create the media and science to destroy and kill, under a false system that led to that destination.

Our aspiration is that people reach high intellectual levels. Incidentally, when I came over here, I took a newsletter and I find one, which stated that Cuba ranked first worldwide in the percentage of students enrolled in higher education study. Venezuela was ranked fifth, second, third and fourth was occupied by the Republic of Korea, Finland and Greece, the United States was behind us in the sixth.

I quoted the doctor, because these men and women-mostly women-are working in Bolivia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, in many Third World countries. But why Why? I wonder: are, for example, 15 days vacation and are desperate to return to their jobs, they miss the patients have to hear people how to express themselves. It is a product of consciousness, that was not purchased anywhere, it is not for money.

The task undertaken by colleagues in Haiti is a product of consciousness. So I dare to speak of consciousness, because I've seen that awareness made possible the revolution, made possible the resistance, regardless of the criticisms that we made or the mistakes we make, because no human work is perfect. Not the least afraid to talk about mistakes, because what Forgiveness is not what is done consciously at the expense of others.

No human work perfect, but we believe in it, and if we did not believe it would not be doing what we are doing, nor what you are doing so nobly.

regret that I have taken too long.

continues tomorrow.

What can never forget (Part One)


Last Tuesday, September 21, I met at 9 am more Cruise 600 passengers for Peace (Peace Boat), almost all Japanese nationals, including a survivor of mass murder in the city of Hiroshima, which was two years old when the incident occurred.

Cuba's national television broadcast the game, but the translation in the hall of the Palace of Conventions was not simultaneous and the voices of the sisters who performed this difficult task overlapped with my words. I decided therefore to write a reflection on the subject.

took the opportunity to reduce the extent of what I said, and better manage the ideas transmitted with absolute fidelity to their content.

The words of others involved, the full pass.

Despite my efforts, the reflection was extensive, and that the meeting lasted two hours, so I decided to divide it into three parts, to be published on successive days.

The meeting began with the words of Kenia Serrano, President of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples:

Good morning.

On 3 September, the prefect of the nongovernmental organization Peace Cruise, Mr. Yoshioka Tatsuya, sent to our Commander in Chief that it received a letter asking the directors of the cruise and the survivor of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that comes into it, the commander agreed, and also, with pleasure, invited other passengers broad representation of this meeting. We

attending this meeting today, September 21, declared by the United Nations World Peace Day, of course, the presence, for us memorable, our beloved Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz (Applause).

Found in the presidency of our meeting, Mr. Nao Inoue, director of the crossing of the Peace Cruise (Applause) Mrs. Matsumi Matsumura, also the staff Cruise for Peace, who will help us to translate the English this meeting (Applause) Ms. Junko Watanabe, Hibakusha Movement member, a survivor of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Professor Susan Garcia of the University of Havana, who also facilitates this dialogue into Japanese, as you can see (Applause).

...

Commander Cmdr .- What my turn, a speech? Kenia Serrano

.- Greeting, because we are all looking forward to that. Cmdr

.- No, I came to answer, is the truth. I asked him what belonged to me and I said nothing.

really want, first, thank you for the honor that means the meeting.

I was a little lacking, as you know, read newspapers, but I've missed many of the meetings of you, because after I knew the whole story in detail. I've learned a lot from you: the time they were in Cuba, began in 1990, returned in 1995, 1997 and 1998, in 2000, 2001 and 2002, twice, then 2005, 2007 and 2009, and today, I have understood joined 14 trips.

Well, the story is that when I receive the invitation, I was happy to share with you the importance of the moment in which we live, which is not any one time, also by a sense of gratitude, and I know the Solidarity you over all these years, the difficulties, the struggles against the blockades, the identity and nationality of the ship, the ports where they could be or could not go, if not supplied them with fuel or other similar idiocies of our main adversary whose methods are not can ever achieve world understanding and peace on our planet.

recalling the slogan of you who have, in my opinion, a very special value: "Learn from past wars to build a future of peace," no doubt that this is a phrase that would always meant, but at this moment what has more than ever, I dare say, unequivocally, that never in history of humanity at one point as dangerous as this. So this is not an easy journey, it is a real struggle, serious, and this I say it can be shown, I hope that the exchanges enlighten us about what we think or what formulas may be possible, realistic solutions not simply an expression of noble desires.

The meeting for me is a very great importance, precisely because the experience you have accumulated on the subject.

These days it turned an anniversary of that brutal and unusual fact that was first used nuclear weapons on peaceful cities.

really reminded greatly throughout the world what happened in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. I had finished high school, I remember, was the summer, was visiting Santiago de Cuba when the news came, and no one had any idea of \u200b\u200bthe existence of a weapon of this nature, I think three days later, launched the second atomic bomb.

I can talk more about that later, what feelings I experienced and what my whole life concept of that fact, but is an example of the things that help to gain awareness, because the display of everything that happened there and the human damage resulted, despite the time elapsed, again stir public opinion international. I do not think that occurred more expressive of what is war.

Well, I think I have stolen enough time for these first words, we want to hear from you. I am willing to answer any questions you want me in any way. I have no secrets of any kind, any topic can be addressed.

I would ask our translator how things have gone. To you, you (Laughter and applause.) Interpreter

.- Well, it would seem, Commander. Cmdr

.- Very good. Kenia Serrano

.- Thank you, Commander.

Mr. Nao Inoue, please. Inoue Nao

.- Good morning! (Shouts of "Good morning!")

First of all I would like to express our deep appreciation for the fact that you we receive on this occasion.

My name is Nao Inoue, director of cruise Edition 70. I want to say a few words on behalf of all members of Peace Boat.

seems that you've learned and learned a lot about our organization. We founded this organization in 1983, spent over 27 years. So far we have made 70 world cruises carrying more than 40 000 Japanese.

As you know, we have already reached 14 Travel to Cuba and this year is very important to us, because it is the 20 th anniversary, so it is very important to know you directly, Commander.

During these 20 years, we have put all our effort to be a bridge between the Cuban people and the Japanese people, and we've always been against the unjust but truly unfair.

We consider it very important to continue making the bridge not only between the Cuban and Japanese, the two, but also including the Latin American and Asian countries. The reason we want to work on this deposit is to promote world peace, sustainable, led by Cuba, and we are starting to deepen the ties of friendship and brotherhood with Venezuela, Ecuador and Nicaragua. Of these countries, the country that we have visited more often is Cuba. We will also have the opportunity to meet the president of Nicaragua, Mr. Daniel Ortega.

occasion to deepen the ties of friendship and fraternity between the ALBA countries and Japan, we are starting the project called Youth Cruise ALBA, which invited young people from the ALBA countries onboard, exchanges, forums conferences and study, and we would ask you, Commander, that will support this project. And

you mentioned that we are the only country to receive the atomic bomb, then we think we have the obligation and also the mission of transmitting messages for a world free of nuclear weapons. To eliminate nuclear weapons we would also like to work with you.

also wanted to mention here that Japan, the country we have pacifist constitution, which renounces war and also any nuclear weapons of mass destruction (SIC).

We also learn in Latin America that you have pacifist constitution and also prohibit the existence of foreign military bases. And we propose to the UN, the UN statement, which encourages all countries in the world to have this beautiful pacifist constitution.

ever do not want war, we can not allow the use of nuclear weapon ever. As they always say the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: "We will not repeat this kind of brutal tragedy." We want to establish a world and society where people want to live well, do not want to live in poverty and these things. That's why we believe it is very necessary that all countries have this kind of constitution. We promised that we will create the world free of poverty, hunger, and with much happiness and sustainable.

Finally, Commander, I am a great fan of you (Laughter and applause.) It seems that everyone is a fan of you.

We know you are very busy, but we want to invite you on board to navigate to Nicaragua. What do you think? (Applause.) What do you think? (Applause.)

Cmdr .- Wonderful! (Applause.)

Nao Inoue .- I will conclude my remarks with an invitation. Thank you (Applause). Cmdr

.- Not in cyclone season, right? (Laughter.)

arrived I told you yesterday, but there were cyclones in the Atlantic. Finally, what time do they arrive? Inoue Nao

.- We arrived at 5:00 am. Cmdr

.- And you can tell the speed of Peace Boat? (Laughter.)

Nao Inoue .- More or less like a fast bike (laughs). Cmdr

.- Well, it depends, I think the champion reaches more than 60 kilometers per hour (laughs).

I think in these times, the Peace Boat should run faster, more urgent travel the world (applause).

I must ask, well, an excuse. I heard yesterday, in the morning, and then I was thinking How could meet, because I was told that it had applied to some, and said, "Well, if possible try to greet everyone," I did not know, however, what time would come, they had also organized a program for all the day. Well, what do you do to avoid interference to others or to another program? And that's why we invented this meeting so early. All we had to get up early. I imagine you would be ... I do not know where they would, if they would be in the ship's rail watching the entrance of Havana or would be sleeping. I beg your forgiveness, because I'm guilty of that you have had to increase program (Applause). Then organize, or rather improvised, the meeting for this hour, so you could meet other activities and not to spoil my relations with other institutions that will attend.

I think they gave us half an hour. I replied in the end they would come out today and will arrive tomorrow, then there is flexibility. I think that at 5:00 this afternoon would leave the ship. Kenia Serrano

.- Start address at 5:00 and leave at 7:00.

.- Cmdr was leaving at 7:00? Kenia Serrano

.- Aha. Cmdr

.- Yes, the activities ended at 5:00.

Well, if a cyclone forced to delay the ship, if they leave at 9:00, or if they leave at 10:00, as they are a little longer in Havana, not a tragedy. Fortunately, the visit has been no war. It was during peace.

excuses I asked them why.

Do you have any idea how it will unfold? Kenia Serrano

.- Commander, has been exciting, if the cruise is, the last year and now, has brought survivors of Hiroshima, and we have Ms. Junko Watanabe. I propose to hear his testimony. Junko Watanabe

.- First of all, Commander Fidel Castro is a great honor and pleasure to meet you, and I would like to show my deep gratitude for having so warmly.

I would also like to express my gratitude for the great interest and knowledge that the Cuban people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In addition, yesterday the Movement for Peace in Cuba held a meeting to witness to me, and also an international May Day rally for peace, and made a very nice meeting in the House of Friendship.

I was born in Hiroshima and then got married to a Japanese and moved to Brazil to live. I went to Brazil at the age of 25 and then returned to Japan at the age of 38, but time, for the first time I realized that I was a survivor of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I was born in the center of Hiroshima, but when we were in World War II our family we were evacuated out of Hiroshima, and as I was only two years old, then I have no memory, but when I received the news that I was a survivor , by my parents, I had a very strong impact.

On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 my mom was at home with my younger brother. My brother and I were playing in a courtyard of a temple near my house. Then my mom felt the wind, scary, and also saw the burnt papers that were falling in front of his house. My mom was surprised and then came for the temple, was at that time we received the black rain. The rain was black and sticky.

Before the pump, the 6th of August, the weather was fine in the morning and told that the atomic bomb exploded 580 meters above the ground. Cmdr

.- How many meters? Junko Watanabe

.- Five hundred eighty meters above the ground. Cmdr

.- It was nuclear. Junko Watanabe

.- nuclear bomb. Cmdr

.- That energy is uranium, it was not plutonium. The plutonium was in another city. Junko Watanabe

.- Yes, in Nagasaki.

Then, as exploited above, greatly affects the warm rays and the hot wind up burning people. And after the bomb went all the powders and papers up, and black rain fell after radiation.

After receiving the black rain the condition of my body was as follows. Cmdr

.- How is it again? Junko Watanabe

.- My body was damaged, I'm going to explain now how I was. Daily

suffered from diarrhea. Could eat, but then no nutrients left in my body, leaving everything he ate. My parents thought their daughter would die.

Actually I was two years old and I have no memory of disastrous scenes.

When I turned 60 I started to participate in a partnership in Brazil. Brazil now living in 132 survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Cmdr

.- Where in Brazil? Junko Watanabe

.- In Brazil. Cmdr

.- They were children when they were? Junko Watanabe

.- In different ages. Cmdr

.- The parents were with them or not? Junko Watanabe

.- The majority were married and were without their parents and adults.

Now the average age of survivors is 75, and aging. So the President of the Brazilian Association asked her to help the association, because she is a young survivor.

Although I am a survivor, not having a lot of memory, before participating in this organization knew nothing of the atomic bomb.

Then I had the opportunity to read all the documents which 200 survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki who lived in Brazil and in which was written the reality of what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That was the first time I knew about the reality of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. They described the scene very brutal.

On the sadness and anger I felt very sad and felt like I was shaking.

also found a picture documentary, filmed by a Japanese journalist. However, after the atomic bomb American scholars such information was stolen and taken to his country and never were going to show this video that I found in the office.

has been a bit difficult to see because it is a very old tape. Then I asked a friend to convert it to DVD. We

with 10 surviving friends saw the film.

scenes in this documentary that came out were too brutal and I saw him with much sadness, and the city of Hiroshima was disappearing.

I saw in the documentary, we saw it, and totally burned buildings, the city was completely black. He also appeared people walking, but without awareness, their arms hanging from the skin, because it was deteriorating, his eyes would fall out of place. People were walking, but without consciousness.

When I saw the documentary, did not remember this scene, I recognized that I was there at that time and also realized that humans did, then I felt a strong resentment and sadness.

So I started thinking: We need to convey these testimonies for generations, and two years ago, in 2008, participated in the Hibakusha Project conducted by the organization Peace Boat, which invited 100 survivors on board and witnessing traveled in every port, and also met other Hibakusha in the world. In Viet Nam

we met victims of Agent Orange generated in the Vietnam War, and what they and their parents suffered. The effect they had is transmitted through the generations.

My oldest brother played in the temple who died two years ago at the age of 67.

After receiving the black rain, as I got well, he always had weakness in his bones and lived very poorly. He died at the age of 67 liver cancer. Displaying

survivors are dying, I'm living with great concern for my health.

I would also have a history of origami cranes that are made of paper and a symbol of peace for us, so now worldwide, and always accompanies the story of a girl named Sadako Sasaki who died of leukemia at the age of 12 years.

This year, when I participated in the Conference non-proliferation of nuclear weapons in New York in May, I had opportunity to meet the brother of Sadako Sasaki.

Let me explain a little history of Sadako Sasaki. She received the black rain, like me, and grew healthily until the age of 10 years later, as he was ill, was hospitalized and remained in the hospital.

She had the belief that if it was 1 000 paper cranes would improve, and, as the story of her brother, she kept folding cranes until ... Well, at that time we had no paper, then used paper with medicine is packed and folded the cranes with needles. She always said, until he was dying: "I want to live again I want to live anymore."

We are in the same situation as Sadako Sasaki, who received the black rain at the age of two years old, and she died and I survived . So I feel great responsibility to convey what the atomic bomb, what are the survivors. The survivors have to live with many physical and mentally with a lot of worries until they die, and we have to transmit it to other generations.

Now, we learned world in the world there are several types of Hibakusha, in several places, for example, when indigenous people out uranium mines is much affected by radiation, also people who live near nuclear plants, and stuff we have to learn, to educate the people.

When I participated in the Hibakusha Project two years ago, there was a Japanese boy, the documentary film director, who covered my stay on board, then also interviewed my father, who is 98 years. What my father was told that I did not know until then. My father said so. The director asked my dad, "Why did not you tell you the reality Junko?"

From the pump so far, girls that were influenced by the atomic bomb, although survivors have been discriminated against and had great difficulty getting married. Then, we recognized that I, a survivor, fortunately I have not had any physical problems, but there are many doctors who say that the influence of radiation also appears in another generation.

continues tomorrow.

I Have A Swollen Vigin

Nuclear Winter and Peace


More than twenty thousand nuclear weapons in the hands of eight countries: United States, Russia, France, United Kingdom, China, Israel, India and Pakistan, several of them with sharp economic, political and religious.

The new START treaty, signed in Prague in April between the major nuclear powers, there is more than wishful thinking, in relation to the problem that threatens humanity.

The theory of "nuclear winter", developed and led to the current level by the eminent researcher and professor at Rutgers University, New Jersey, Dr. Alan Robock, - modest scientific who likes to recognize the merits of their more than his own-has demonstrated its veracity.

For them the only way to avoid the use of nuclear weapons are eliminated. The American people, located in a privileged place on the planet, allowing you to enjoy higher living standards and wealth in the world despite the incredible waste of nonrenewable resources, should be most interested in information that will provide scientists . How much space devoted to this task, the mass media?

The theory of "nuclear winter" has taught us, expresses Robock, that: "If such weapons there could not be used. And right now there is no rational argument for use at all. If the use, need to be destroyed and so our only protection from accidents, errors of calculation or insane attitude. "

" ... computers running ultra models became the only lab of choice, and historical events -including the cities destroyed by fire after earthquakes and bombings in wartime, the columns of smoke from forest fires and clouds created by volcanic eruptions became the touchstones of scientific assessments. "

The proliferation of nuclear weapons - in which Israel, India and Pakistan have joined the nuclear club, and other countries, apparently aspiring to be members - forced Robock and his colleagues to review the initial research . The results of these modern studies, as detailed in a series of articles published recently, were surprising.

respect to the United States and Russia, although each is committed in April 2010 in Prague, to reduce its nuclear arsenal to about 2,000 operational weapons, the only real way to avoid global climate catastrophe is to eliminate nuclear weapons.

"... any country that currently is considering the nuclear path needs to recognize that would be endangering not only their own populations but also the rest of the world to adopt this approach. It is time the world to think once more on the dangers of nuclear weapons, and this time take the path to peace and eliminate the possibility of a global climate catastrophe induced by nuclear energy, for the first time since mid- last century. "

" ... the use of nuclear weapons in any attack against an enemy total action would be suicidal because of the cold and darkness caused by smoke anomalous from fires generated by the pump. In fact, there is evidence that the more a country possessing nuclear weapons, the less certain. "

Albert Einstein said:" The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our ways of thinking, and that is why we move aimlessly toward an unprecedented catastrophe. " Carl Sagan had said that our nuclear weapons policy was "a way where no man thought."

the end of the lecture I asked the professor Alan Robock, "How many people in the world know that data?" He said that "very few." I added: "In your country, how many?" "Just," he answered do not know. "

No doubt that was the sad reality and added:" We do not know anything with us, what we need is to know what the world. Perhaps we should look to psychologists to explain why the masses do not understand. "

" I have an answer - said the scientist, this is called denial. It is so horrible, that people do not want to think about it. It's easier to pretend does not exist. "

His words, - for nearly an hour spent at the conference, aided by graphics, data and projected photos on a screen, "were clear, precise and eloquent. Therefore I said: "What is to consciousness, which we talk so much? What is creating culture? How much discourages you, to scientists, that people do not become aware of what they are doing, how many hours you invest? "

I told him that when there was no radio, television or Internet, could not broadcast a conference like that in Cuba or in the world. Not when many people could not read or write.

We promised the teacher to disclose the information you provided on the theory of "nuclear winter", with language that Cuban children up to 8 years old can understand, which we knew only a little from our concern regarding the outbreak of a global nuclear war, which resulted in our duty to listen to his lecture on Tuesday 14 of this month.

No other time in human history bear resemblance to it. Surely, if such risks are not understood by decision makers from the heights of immense power that science and technology have placed in their hands, the next world war will last, and would pass, perhaps tens of millions of years before new intelligent beings attempt to write its history.

fate would have it, Monday 20, received the news that delayed several hours due cyclones at dawn on 21 would arrive at the Port of Havana, from Canary Islands, the cruiser "Peace Boat", the international NGO with Special Consultative Status to the UN, which organizes trips since 1983 to promote global peace, human rights, just and sustainable development and respect for the environment and the Organization, in 2009, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his global campaign to prevent war. In a letter

I led the founder and director of the "Peace Boat", Yoshioka Tatsuya, through the head of the group of visitors Nao Inoue, says: "Our organization has been working for years, recently in collaboration with countries of ALBA. [...] That clearly express a commitment to nuclear abolition, prohibition of foreign military bases and the peaceful resolution of international disputes [...] Japan, as you know, the only country to have suffered an atomic bombing, still maintains a pacifist Constitution, through Article 9, formally renounces war and prohibits the use of force international disputes.

"... interesting issue in our activism is the removal of foreign military bases, a present situation in Japan and around the world, considering that foreign bases as those in Guantanamo and Okinawa cause irreversible environmental damage and promote war Instead of world peace. "

Took the floor to Mr. Nao Inoue, and the survivor, Ms. Junko Watanabe, who was only two years old when the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima city. The girl was with a little brother in the backyard of a house 18 kilometers from the spot where the bomb was released, that wiped out most of the city, instantly killing more than 100 000 people and caused serious damage to other inhabitants.
