El
4 de Junio del 2002, Servando González entrevistó
telefónicamente a Ramón B. Conte, autor de Historia
oculta de los crímenes de Fidel Castro. Esta entrevista
es de singular importancia, pues confirma, por un testigo presencial,
que Fidel Castro asistió a una entrevista secreta en la
que fue reclutado por los servicios de inteligencia norteamericanos.
Cada
día que pasa, la muerte del presidente constitucional de
Chile, Salvador Allende, ocurrida el 11 de Septiembre de 1973,
recuerda más y más Rashomon, la famosa
novela de Riunosuke Akutagawa, luego inmortalizada en el cine
por Akira Kurosawa. Como en Rashomon, los supuestos testigos
presenciales dan versiones diferentes y contradictorias de los
hechos, las cuales son negadas a su vez por otros que alegan conocer
la verdad.
Hace unos
días circuló en la Internet una información
que contenía una serie de artículos sin firma de
autor, tomados de la revista electrónica contactocuba.com
(San Juan, Puerto Rico, 26 de Abril, 2008). Esos artículos
fueron originalmente escritos por el escritor y periodista Andrés
Rivero, y en ellos aparecen una serie de preguntas sobre cosas
aparentemente inexplicables -- que sólo podrían
explicarse si Fidel Castro en realidad no es lo que dice ser.
One
of the latest pieces by Joseph Farah, the Editor of WolrdNetDaily,
is a hateful diatribe against Lew Rockwell, the Editor of LewRockwell.com.
According to Farah, Rockwell is an anti-American of the worst
type, who tells “vitriolic lies about America.”
“Cubans
Are Talking,” a recent report by Mark Potter, NBC News Correspondent
in Havana, has brought to the attention of the American public
the existence of a popular Cuban musical group, Moneda Dura
(Hard Currency). The report mentions how one of the group’s
music videos, became an instant hit in the Island until the Castro
government banned it. 
According
to most of the reviewers, the main reason for which Legacy
of Ashes is the definitive history of the CIA is because
the book is based on more than 50,000 documents -- most of them
from the secret archives of the CIA itself – and more than
two thousand interviews (the term “oral history” is
highly misleading) with ex-CIA officers, including ten ex-CIA
directors.
Last
week I seized the opportunity to catch-up with my reading. Among
the tall pile of books I had waiting for me, I selected one with
an enigmatic title: Michael J. Behe’s Darwin’s
Black Box (New York: Free Press, 2006), the 10th anniversary
edition of a work initially published in 1996. 
Al
parecer lo que más le molestó a Wotzkow de mi reseña
del libro Darwin’s Black Box de Michael J. Behe fue que
en ella afirmo que la teoría de la evolución darwiniana
es en realidad una forma encubierta de religión que nada
tiene que ver con la ciencia. 
Nicolás
Pérez comienza su artículo “La película
‘The Good Shepherd’” (El Nuevo Herald,
23 de mayo del 2007), mencionando cómo las casualidades
y los sucesos inesperados algunas veces superan la ficción.
Pero el ejemplo que usa para fundamentar su aserto no es el más
adecuado. 
On
December 26, 2004, a tsunami killed thousands of people in Asia
and East Africa. But wildlife officials reported almost no deaths
among the animals at Sri Lanka's Yala National Park, a wildlife
reserve populated by hundreds of wild animals including elephants,
leopards, and monkeys. 
I
ordered Joseph Trento's new book, Prelude to Terror, and,
as soon as I received my copy, began reading it with extreme interest.
Though I found a few factual inaccuracies and many misinterpretations
in his previous book, The Secret History of the CIA, the
overall impression was mostly positive.
In his keynote speech
at the American Library Association midwinter meeting in San Antonio,
Texas, Romanian-born writer Andrei Codrescu surprised his sponsors
by strongly criticizing ALA executives for denying support to
their harassed colleagues at Cuba's independent libraries.----
Some
time ago I found on the web a joker's site with suggestions about
deductions you can legally claim to lower your taxes. One of them
was, go watch a Kevin Costner movie and deduct it as a charitable
contribution. Last week I followed the guy's advice and saw Thirteen
Days. Believe me, it was not worth the effort. Next time I'll
rather pay my taxes in full.
A few of days ago I was
listening to an early morning radio program hosted by Lee Rodgers,
when I heard somebody saying something that made my blood boil.
Lee was interviewing Peter Mulhern, a Washington D.C. lawyer who
also writes for The American Thinker.
