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.

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?

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.
