American Taxpayers, U.S. Bishops and Cuban Sex Change Operations
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
Castro’s “New Man” now wants to be a woman
The Cuban government is paying for sex change operations, while the USCCB (U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops) blames Cuban poverty and the abysmal state of socialized health care, on the symbolic U.S. embargo.
Meanwhile, a Cuban filmmaker is conducting a tour across America, to promote her film about a man who underwent a government-funded sex change operation in Cuba: Cuban director discusses new film in campus visit | The Daily.
The U.S. promotion of this Cuban filmmaker’s “tour de force” is carried out with the support of Americas Media Initiative– which is funded in part by various foundations, including the Ford Foundation, and individual donors: About Us | Americas Media Initiative.
And where does the other part of the funding for Americas Media Initiative come from?
The American taxpayer?
Check out Americas Media Initiative’s public record.
Are American taxpayers actually paying for this Cuban woman to promote such a film in front of American college students?
Have they considered changing venues to the Venice Biennale?– which accepts this cinematographic genre. If they hurry, they may even get a space next to the Holy See’s bizarre pavilion, where they can rub elbows with the Vatican’s ultra-modernist Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi. Ravasi will find “enlightenment” in just about anything.
Here is the public announcement, including the schedule of university campuses to be included in this tour, on Americas Media Initiative’s website: NEWS | Americas Media Initiative
Cuba’s Communist government is laughing all the way to the bank, as it lines its pockets with tourism dollars pouring into Cuba from the U.S., as well as from the international community– which has maintained friendly relations with Castro, for decades. The “cultural exchange” programs with Cuba are another source of revenue, which helps Castro’s criminal government continue its relentless oppression inside the island prison.
Click on this link to read the facts about Cuba’s government and how it is starving and persecuting the Cuban people, while it fills its coffers.
But the Catholic Church continues to “dialogue” with Cuba’s Communist thugs– instead of condemning the hellish reality of the Cuban people, resulting from almost 54 years of communism and atheism.
A reality that includes government-funded operations for Castro’s “Hombre Nuevo” (New Man)– who now wants to be a woman.

Is there a smell of socialism in your Swiss cheese?
The land of precision contemplates socialist chaos...
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
Citizens around the world are being intensely lured by socialist ideals. They are being told by community operatives that they must be part of this worldwide “current” – which calls for equality, solidarity and justice.
Switzerland is the latest to flirt with this socialist trend.
In the land of money and pragmatism, it is hard to fathom that the Swiss would participate in financial equality—even less, socialist slavery.
The Swiss are known for their love of precision. One can only imagine how they would react to the disorderly nature of socialism. After all, they have the experience of the administrative chaos brought about by the many covert and illicit transactions that took place alongside “normal” business activity, by German National Socialists (Nazis) during World War II. Said transactions not only benefitted their regime– but also Nazi officials, on a personal level.
If Socialism takes over Switzerland– then we can also assume that the Joint Statement between the U.S. Department of Justice and the Swiss Department of Finance (announced on August 29, 2013) will not be applied to the bank accounts of socialists and their fellow travelers– much like Obamacare is not applicable to the elite, in Washington DC. This after all, is the socialist interpretation of “equality.”
But socialists are patient and persistent. There isn’t a crevice that they won’t stick their heads in.
So… does this mean that the Swiss are now going to open the frontiers of their closely guarded confederation?
Socialism is a slippery slope. Let’s wait and see…

Murder in China
The Yellow River turns red again...
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
There is no peace in the land of Confucius…
It is difficult to steady your nerves, when your humble home in Shandong Province is broken into in the middle of the night, by government officials. You find yourself being dragged to a hospital where you will receive a lethal injection that will end the life of the child, who sleeps peacefully inside your womb.
Do you keep your eyes open, while the poison circulates through your body?
Do you fight back?
Maybe you can convince the nurses, by telling them that you have picked out a name.
In case it’s a boy.
In case it’s a girl.
That you love this baby with all your heart. That so many of your dreams and your hopes surround this wonderful, innocent being.
And in the spring, the baby could help you pick the blossoms that fall from the apricot tree.
That your only child, a son, could now share the joy of having a sibling in his life.
Is there room for mercy? Will they change their minds?—or will it happen so violently and quickly that there is no time to react?
Then suddenly, you are lying there. Everything is still— and the waters of the Yellow River turn red again.
Socialism is phase one of communism. This could happen to you.

Cuba, Trade and Castro’s “New Man”
CUBA, TRADE and CASTRO’S “NEW MAN”
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
More rapprochement…
The Conference of Cuban Catholic Bishops continues to march to the beat of socialist ideals, with their latest pastoral letter, titled “LA ESPERANZA NO DEFRAUDA” (“Nor does this hope delude us” / spes autem non confundit)– taken from Romans 5,5.
On June 3, 2013 I published an article titled “Cuba’s Cardinal Jaime Ortega Must Resign”denouncing Cardinal Jaime Ortega’s brazen socialist propaganda in the Archdiocese of Havana. Having lived under communism in Cuba, I asked that Cardinal Ortega step down.
While my request for Cardinal Ortega’s resignation may appear to be symbolic, my article containing this request has circled the globe and has received the enthusiastic support of Cubans exiled in Europe and in the United States. This is another reaffirmation that Roman Catholic Cubans, as well as non-Catholic Cubans, have had enough with the modernist Vatican and their socialist “dialogue” with the enemy.
The latest socialist appeasement message from the Cuban Bishops comes in the form of a pastoral letter, which does not contain a single mention of the words “Communism” or “Communist.” Instead, the emphasis is on “dialogue” – following the modernist (socialist) Vatican rules of rapprochement.
This “dialogue” also came in the form of Benedict XVI’s refusal to meet with dissidents during his visit to Cuba, in 2012. No amount of excuses from Vatican officials can make the world forget such a betrayal.
In the interest of time, I have focused on key excerpts from this pastoral letter signed by the Cuban Bishops, with my translations of specific sections that need to be vigorously denounced. I have added bold to the original Spanish, to reference the translated sections:
EXCERPT FROM PARAGRAPH 31 – CUBAN BISHOPS: “Como ha venido ocurriendo en el aspecto económico, creemos imprescindible en nuestra realidad cubana una actualización o puesta al día de la legislación nacional en el orden político.”
Translation of excerpt from paragraph 31. “As has been taking place in the economic arena, we believe it is essential in our Cuban reality to upgrade or update the national political legislation.”
MY COMMENT: What aspect of communism is there to “upgrade” or “update”?
What are the Cuban Bishops afraid of? Why can’t they forcefully denounce communism and publicly encourage the immediate dismantling of the Communist dictatorship— which has brought nothing but misery to the Cuban people, a misery which has been exported by Cuban political emissaries– and blessed by liberal Catholic theologians throughout the world.
EXCERPT FROM PARAGRAPH 35- CUBAN BISHOPS: “En los últimos años también ha habido grandes transformaciones en otras naciones, de modo particular en nuestra región latinoamericana. En un mundo cada vez más globalizado e interdependiente, las necesarias reformas internas, tanto políticas como económicas, pueden ayudar a insertarnos de manera más dinámica y segura en el contexto internacional.
Translation of excerpt from paragraph 35- CUBAN BISHOPS: “In the last few years great transformations have also taken place in other nations, particularly in our Latin American region. In a world which is more and more globalized and interdependent, the necessary internal reforms, both political and economic, can help us to insert ourselves in international affairs, in a more dynamic and secure way.”
MY COMMENT: The Cuban Bishops seem to forget that Cuba has been participating and inserting itself in international affairs, through its membership in the United Nations—an evil entity which has unashamedly supported the bloody Castro Communist regime for nearly 54 years, while helping promote communism throughout the world. The “globalized” and “interdependent” approach mentioned by the Cuban Bishops is nothing but Agenda 21, which is devastating Latin America, Spain and every country it touches. Agenda 21 is the infamous socialist initiative, also known as Sustainable Development, which promotes depopulation (abortion on demand), controls the production and distribution of food– and violates property rights—all under the pretext of environmental stewardship. In other words, international socialism.
Instead, the Cuban Bishops should assert that the basis for all public policies should not rest on ambiguous catch phrases or socialist ideology, but rather on the Commandments of God and on the Natural Law — which binds all men, for all time and in all circumstances.
The Cuban Bishops also cite John Paul II’s visit to Cuba and his concern for “social, economic and cultural development.” What the Cuban Bishops seem to forget is that John Paul II, after vigorously negotiating the freedom of the Polish people from communism, proceeded to pat Fidel Castro on the back, praising his socialized health care and education. The double standards, under John Paul II, are legendary.
THE U.S. GETS THE BLAME, AGAIN…
EXCERPT FROM PARAGRAPH 36 – CUBAN BISHOPS: “En este contexto de política internacional se hace necesario considerar las relaciones de Cuba con los Estados Unidos, que durante largas décadas, de diverso modo y de manera constante y profunda, han afectado la vida de nuestro pueblo. A esto se refirió el beato Juan Pablo II al decir que “el aislamiento provocado repercute de manera indiscriminada en la población, acrecentando las dificultades de los más débiles en aspectos básicos como la alimentación, la sanidad o la educación”14. Y concluyó pidiendo se suprimieran “las medidas impuestas desde fuera del país injustas y éticamente inaceptables.”
Translation of excerpt from paragraph 36: “In this context of international politics it is necessary to consider the relations between Cuba and the United States, which during many decades, in different ways and in a constant and profound manner, have affected the life of our people. The Servant of God, John Paul II, referred to this by saying that “the provoked isolation has indiscriminate repercussions on the population, increasing the difficulties of the weakest, in terms of basic needs like food, health or education.” He [John Paul II] concluded by asking that “the measures imposed from outside the country which are unjust and ethically unacceptable, be removed.”
MY COMMENT: The Cuban Embargo has turned into a mere symbolic message of opposition to the Communist dictatorship in Cuba. Cuba has been open to the world for decades under the Castro regime, because its military rulers need money to control the island prison, while lining their pockets. The world visits Cuba every day, in the form of tourism (including sexual tourism) as well as through “cultural” and economic exchange. As I write this commentary, a PBS station is aggressively promoting a trip to Cuba, at the price of nearly $4,000 per person, leaving from Florida. President Obama has enthusiastically relaxed travel restrictions, making Cuba accessible from various U.S. airports. All this, while political dissidents are tortured in Cuban prisons—and the graveyards of those who have been executed by Castro’s regime, remain an uncomfortable topic of discussion for those promoting “dialogue.” Cubans exiled in the United States and in different parts of the world support a parallel Cuban economy through remittances to relatives in Cuba, with estimates as high as one billion dollars per year.
Despite the “embargo” and financial restrictions, U.S. exports to Cuba reached $711 million in 2008 before declining in 2009 and 2010. Cuba has become the 12th largest market in the Western Hemisphere for U.S. agricultural products.
The U.S. Dollar value of U.S. exports to Cuba in 2012 was $457,318,357.00 under the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act (TSRA) of 2000, which re-authorized the direct commercial (on a cash basis) export of food products (including branded food products) and agricultural products (commodities) from the United States to Cuba. This does not include healthcare products, which remain authorized by the Cuban Democracy Act (CDA) of 1992.
After the TSRA was set in motion, the United States became Cuba’s fourth largest trading partner behind Venezuela, China, and Spain. While product types may vary, the United States is Cuba’s largest supplier of imported food during most years.
Based on the above facts, the only “unjust and ethically unacceptable” policies that keep the people of Cuba in misery, are those that have been imposed by Castro’s bloody Communist regime, for nearly 54 years.
EXCERPT FROM PARAGRAPH 37 – CUBAN BISHOPS: “…un intercambio comercial justo y orientado al beneficio de todos.”
Translation of excerpt from paragraph 37: “…a just economic exchange aimed at benefitting everyone.”
MY COMMENT: It is preposterous for the Cuban Bishops to assume that the Castro regime has any desire to be “just” or “beneficial” to the U.S.—as in the U.S. one-sided relationship with China, where China wins and we lose.
THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE…
EXCERPT FROM PARAGRAPH 39 – CUBAN BISHOPS: “Es significativo el llamado que han hecho las autoridades del país acerca del creciente deterioro en las manifestaciones de conducta y en la moralidad pública. Ante esto consideramos que no son suficientes las medidas de exigencia y de disciplina, sino que se hace apremiante un proceso educativo que favorezca, en todos los cubanos, el deseo de ser buenos y la práctica de la virtud. A tal fin deben contribuir, conjuntamente, la familia, la escuela, los medios de comunicación y las instituciones religiosas teniendo a los niños y a los jóvenes como los primeros destinatarios de una formación integral.”
Translation of excerpt from paragraph 39: “It is noteworthy that the country’s authorities have denounced the growing deterioration of conduct and public morals. In light of this, we consider that the measures involving requirements and discipline are not enough. Instead, it is critical that an educational process be implemented to instill in Cubans a desire to be good and virtuous. To this end, it is necessary to have the joint contribution of the family, schools, media / means of communication and religious institutions, with children and youth as the first recipients of comprehensive training.”
MY COMMENT: These young Cubans who are now being punished for not having good moral values and for not being virtuous, are the result of Fidel Castro’s promise of a “new man” (hombre nuevo) formed under principles of “social justice” in an atheist state. So after 54 years of Communist indoctrination, vicious and uninterrupted persecution of Christian values—and removal of God as the basis of moral education — the Cuban Bishops are now entrusting the Cuban government with the reeducation of Cubans, so that they can be turned into good and virtuous people.
Note that “measures involving requirements and discipline are not enough.” And the Cuban Bishops want everyone to cooperate—including “media / means of communication.” What “media / means of communication” are these? The only media / means of communication in Cuba are strictly controlled and censored by the Communist government. So the Cuban Bishops are asking the people of Cuba to turn themselves in—and allow their captors to reeducate them. What reeducation camps are the Cuban Bishops suggesting? What cruel and evil proposition is this?
Final thoughts
There is a clear and constant message coming out of the Vatican, which has intensified even more since “Pope” Francis’s election– which is that socialism is good. None other than the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller, is forcefully promoting Liberation Theology, a dangerous Marxist movement in the Catholic Church, which is being reintroduced, dusted off and given a new coat of varnish.
The socialists (impostors) who infiltrated the Vatican have been hard at work for many, many decades– and they are finally seeing the fruits of their labor, across the globe.
