Response: "With Cuba, Nothing Can Be Simple"

I recently read an article called "With Cuba nothing can be simple" http://time.com/3646803/cuba-decision/ written by Jean-Paul Renaud  which I found fascinating, even though his personal journey is very different from that of many of my other Cuban friends'. These men and women fought the Castro regime, and paid with their freedom.  For them, the U.S. negotiations with a brutal dictator is  not an option. 

There is a dilemma on both sides of the embargo lift - each completely justified.  For those who oppose lifting the embargo their argument is: How can you move forward without forgetting the pain and anguish, the humiliation, the torture and death that the Cubans have gone through, and are still going through under the Castro regime? 

For those who support lifting the embargo: Why not to move forward and put and end to this nightmare created by the Castro regime?  As the author said, "with Cuba nothing can be simple”  is very true, but I think that the duty of the Cuban people is to make sure that the Cuban Holocaust is NEVER forgotten.

In a Desperate Move, the Maduro Regime Violates the VZ Constitution Once Again...

In a desperate move the Maduro Regime violates the Venezuelan Constitution by illegally appointing members to the Supreme Court and to the NEC (CNE)

2014 ends for Venezuela with more violations to the constitution by the Maduro dictatorship.

In a desperate move, Diosdado Cabello, the President of the National Assembly appoints members from this regime to the Venezuelan Supreme Court and to the National Electoral Center, in violation of the constitution. It is customary that Parliamentarians are selected through a process of three sessions before final selection. Diosdado Cabello, in a swift and an illegal move, appointed the parliamentarians arguing that “We are here for Chavez” to justify his blatant violation to the constitution.

The regime fears the worse with the economy falling rapidly at the speed of the barrel of oil, now at is lowest cost of $49.00 per barrel.  The Venezuelan are bracing for tumultuous and economically challenge 2015.

What I think: Once again, the regime is making SURE that the opposition has no chance to be a part of the Venezuelan democratic political process. Venezuelan politics continue with NO checks and balances.
