Tirino ©2013 To the good people who have been led astray by madmen, and especially to those who have suffered as a result. 1.Death in the Afternoon Chucha de tu madre! Que bestia!¨ Louis grumbled under his breath as he listened to the men on red scooters visiting all the small shopkeepers. ¨Chulqueros! ¨ He spat into the gutter. ¨Todo el pueblo anda chiro; ¨ - meaning of course that everyone‟s pockets held lint, or dust, or assorted garbage, but none of them held any money. They can‟t get credit cards, and banks won‟t lend them the small amounts that they needed to keep their business running, so they look for one of the countless street shysters that sit drinking coffee at beachfront restaurants in the afternoons when the sun has mellowed. These merchant bankers are the survivors who fled the brutality of their own countries; and although they now wear fine leather shoes and silk shits, the scent of decadence still clings to their pores. Last year they were charging twenty per cent of the principle on the first of the month. Nervous shopkeepers were easily confused into believing that they were paying the same rates as banks. Now it was even easier; a few dollars every day. But all the borrower ever pays is interest. One day the victim wakes up and realizes their mistake; and then they fold and disappear into the nighttime air. Or perhaps the back page of the morning paper. Sunday, the saddest day.

Marijuana was said to be ‘a new drug that maddens victims’ and it was sensationally described as an ‘evil sex drug’. The resulting tabloid furore saw the plant cannabis sativa banned in Australia, even though cannabis had been a well-known and widely used drug in Australia for many decades.

The Atlantic Monthly | November 2006 TWILIGHT OF THE ASSASSINS It was the first act of airline terrorism in the Americas: thirty years ago, seventy-three people died in the bombing of a Cuban passenger plane. Now, one alleged mastermind lives freely in Miami, while another awaits trial on other charges in Texas. With Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez insisting the CIA was behind the bombing, why won’t the Bush administration at last resolve enduring suspicions?

  • XIV. Manuel Ray Rivero
    YIV. MANUEL RAY RIVERO (MRP-JURE) (517) When he first carne into prominence as a Cuban exile leader, Dtanuel Ray Rivero was described as "softspoken and unassuming," a person of "highest intellect, sincerity, and conviction"-in other words, a natural leader. (1) In 19-47, the 23-year-old Ray was granted a schol- arship by the Cuban Ministrv of Public Works to study civil engineer- ing at the University of Utah. (2) Ray was in the United States for 2 years before returning to his native Cuba in 1949 and obtaining vari- ous positions in the engineering field, one of which was project man- ager for the construction of the Havana Hilton Hotel. (3) (518) Reacting to the excesses of the military rule of Fulgencio Batista, Ray organized the Civic Resistance Movement in 1957 and began supervising sabotage and acts of terrorism against the Gov- ernment. (4) His pelitica,l posture and active resistance to Batista was recognized by Fidel Castro who, upon assuming control of the Government of Cuba, appointed Ray his Minister of Public Works in February 19:9. (5) Within a few months of his appointment, Ray confided to two anti-Castro Cubans that he had recognized the symp- toms of communism in the Castro regime but was not prepared to con- spire against "El Lider Maximo." (6) (519) Ray's tenure in Castro's government was short lived. He was relieved of his official position in November 1959 .(7) No definite reason for this sudden move has been documented but, according to one source, Ray did not leave Castro because of ideological or policy discrep- ancies, but rather because of a personality clash with Castro's Minister of Labor who almost shot Ray after a stormy cabinet meeting.

The problem that spurred this research was the realization that the U.S. has an opportunistic, short-term, military centric, foreign policy strategy. I believe that in the 21st century, a steady state, balanced, long-term strategy will ensure continued success.
