Dr Molina Silenced

Dr. Molina Silenced

Actually Dr. Molina could be heard Sunday night on my Blogtalk show but only to say that she could not hear us and that the government was blocking our questions to her. The funny thing is the Cuban government thinks it was successful Sunday night. However, what my listeners heard was the doctor, imprisoned by the regime on the island gulag called Cuba, being blocked from hearing us by the government followed by my panel of esteemed guests discussing her situation. All the government of Cuba did was confirm Dr. Molina's story by their actions.

Raul says he wants efficiency and rationality but is this possible when his social and economic policy causes the most intelligent and educated to want to emigrate even at the risk of death? People and capital always move to where they can operate most freely. This is natural because capital is just saved up labor output not consumed maintaining the person or his tools of the trade. Trying to keep people and capital from moving to freedom is like trying to make water flow uphill. You can never succeed but you can waste enormous efforts hoping to do so.

What has happened to Cuba is it was violently taken over by a gang of greedy rhetoric spewing pirates who crave wealth but haven't a clue of how it is produced. If all they wanted was money they could have installed an economic system that would produce so much wealth that one percent of it would have made these disorganized criminals richer than their wildest dreams. Sadly they equally craved importance which they assure into perpetuation by impoverishing the Cuban people. They call it "the revolution" but these shenanigans have occurred throughout history under many different names. It's the same old protection racket offered up by Al Capone in Chicago. Do what Raul says and nobody gets hurt. In reality, grammatically speaking, when "nobody" gets hurt everybody gets hurt. And in this case it is, "work hard for Raul's revolution, allow Raul to grab 100% of the profit, allow Raul to control all production decisions, allow Raul to own all the stores as well as set all the consumer prices and finally permit Raul to set an allowance that the worker will receive for that hard work. Today in Cuba that allowance for everyone, including doctors, engineers and other professionals, is 50 cents per day. No that was NOT 50 cents an hour...it is 50 per day.

So if you think Cubans want to leave Cuba because of the phony embargo go ahead but if you really believe it then call me. I've got some steady work for you. It pays 50 per day.
