New ACAT- Affiliated Book Exposes Cuban Revolution as a Pack of Lies

Our friends at Stories of Communism translated a book by a Cuban refugee into English, The Revolution of Promises: Reflections of a Cuban Exile.  (ACAT’s affiliated nonprofit picked up part of the publication costs.)  From the Amazon description:
  • Based on his firsthand experiences and those of his fellow Cuban citizens, Nelson exposes the network of lies at the center of Cuban Communism. He discusses the many promises of the Communist government and shows how each one was either an intentional falsehood or a gross distortion of actual reality. Areas he analyzes include press freedom, education, healthcare, and the unrelenting day-to-day struggle for survival and sustenance. In a new appendix in this English edition, he also discusses some more details of his own life in Cuba, and the specific events that led to his prison term, his role in founding Cuban libertarian groups, and his eventual need to flee the country.

New Paper Sheds Light on the Role of Communism in Today's Culture Wars
  • The paper is entitled “Beyond the Fence - Family Values Since the 1960s” by award-winning author Michael Clinton.  ACAT is pleased to present the portion of the paper dealing with Marcuse and, at the end, a way to download the entire work.

Venezuela: Arbitrary detentions continue as a tool of government control and repression
  • One detainee was held for taking a car ride with people suspected of violence against the regime.  She was tortured and subjected to a forced termination of her pregnancy.

Members of Congress mark the second anniversary of the large-scale protests against the communist regime in Cuba with a conference in Miami.  800 protesters are still in jail.  The days of communist rule in Cuba are numbered, members of Congress said.  NPR

‘Hate America First’ Study Program in Havana
St. Catherine University in St. Paul in Minnesota doesn’t have the first clue about communism.
Its study program in Havana is America-hating propaganda and brainwashing of the first order.  Of course they won’t present both sides.

Ortega regime perfecting the art of socialist repression with new tactics: releasing protesters but requiring them to report to police daily; disbarring and confiscating assets from attorneys critical of the regime; making regular house visits to ordinary people to “guarantee peace”; etc.

How socialism gets done in Vietnam: impose long sentences on political prisoners on frivolous charges.  How dare you think for yourself!

Cuba
 History repeats itself as Red China sets its eyes on Cuba:
  • TikTok, infesting universities with dreaded Confucius Institute, and flying so-called “weather” balloon from sea to shining sea wasn’t enough—Communist China has now colonized Cuba.
  • According to The Wall Street Journal, this espionage center, about 150 km from Florida, is important for obtaining information on maritime traffic of numerous military bases. It would also monitor electronic communication in the southeastern U.S.
 
China
Chinese empire aspires to create the 1984 youth Spies on American soil:
  • Records and publicly available information state “that 143 school districts across the United States have engaged in contracts to establish Confucius Institutes and Classrooms," including in three of the nation’s top science and technology high schools, and several that are near 20 U.S. military bases.”
  • Much like in previous Communist regimes and Orwell’s thought-provoking novel 1984, children are conditioned to denounce their parents to the state. Should this perfidious initiative prevail, one should only expect the same ugly reality to take place here.
  • Minimizing the family in order to maximize the state is integral in the mentality of communists. Judy Frazier
End of the Chinese Dream - Young people should learn to “eat bitterness,” says Xi Jinping.
  • Many say China’s new economic policy, “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” has proven successful. This is far from the truth:
    A young woman in Shanghai named Ms. Zhang, who graduated last year with a master's degree in city planning, has sent out 130 résumés and secured no job offers and only a handful of interviews. Living in a 100-square-foot bedroom in a three-bedroom apartment, she barely gets by with a monthly income of less than $700 as a part-time tutor.
  • China is far from a modernized free-market system and still inherits a tremendous grip on the economy. The only way for China to truly succeed economically is to abandon communism entirely. No amount of surface level reform will solve this issue, they must rewrite their constitution, thus changing the system.

Nicaragua
Nicaraguan despot, Daniel Ortega, intensifies persecution of Catholics by evicting Jesuits.
  • Since 2018, Ortega escalated his persecution of Catholics, after anti-government protests left over 300 dead.
  • “Within the philosophical system of Marx and Lenin…hatred of God is the principal driving force…Militant atheism is not merely incidental or marginal to Communist policy…but the central pivot…Communism needs to control a population devoid of religious and national feeling, and this entails the destruction of faith and nationhood.” - Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn

Vietnam
Vietnamese Communist government detain human rights activists, Tran Van Bang and Bui Tuan Lam
  • Tran Van Bang and Bui Tuan Lam have 8 and 5 ½ year sentences, respectively, in prison.
  • Totalitarians always detain their critics. For if people should listen to those critics, they will view the system as having failed and seek to reform, revolt, or flee.
  • Vietnam has been holding at least 159 political prisoners for exercising their civil liberties and rights.

North Korea
Orwellian North Korea claims that U.S soldier, who had crossed the demilitarized zone, sought refuge in their dystopian nightmare after having faced racial discrimination and maltreatment back home.
  • [Editor’s Note] - The only problem is blacks in America are treated like royalty compared to what North Korea does to all its citizens: executes them with anti-aircraft fire until only bits and pieces are left.  ‘North Korea’s citizens are disillusioned.’  Why do you think so many have risked everything to get out?  Answer: socialism, best excuse for tyranny ever invented.
