Angela Rosario longed to be a psychiatrist and travel around the world, but she could not.
Her life ended a sunny morning on September 2001, when the North Tower of World Trade Center, where she worked was knocked down by a terrorist attack. From that day on the life of her relatives changed. They never received the corpse.
Painful stories like this frequently shock in the American and international public opinion for more than a decade, and during these days “close to the fateful date” exaggerated emerge in the American media as if the human sorrow caused by terror could be expressed from 9-11 without a before and after beyond its borders.
Cuba has been victim for more than 50 years of many terrorist actions organized and financed in the United States'(U.S.) territory.
The “disciplined” US media is not interested on the more than 3,000 deaths and 2,000 injured, and the multiplied Cuban families’ sorrow.
Unknowing this reality is assuming in a conspiratorial way the most reactionary position that are still prevail in the US stratum of the American political power in relation to Cuba.
These stories must be taken into account, because a lot before the knock down of the Twin Towers there was the explosion of the vessel Le Coubre, gangs and mercenary invasions, the shooting down of an airplane flying, illnesses that scourged the Cuban people; they cannot pass away in silence.
“Those are my father’s eyes,” said a 15 years old boy to the nurse Gloria Azoy, who was assisting the victims of the attack to Le Coubre vessel. The sanitarian asked the boy not to tell anything about it. She filled the sarcophagus with wood to replace the weight of the corpse, put the eyes inside, and that was what the relatives hold a wake over.
“They left with my family hitting them until they got to the fence of a yard and shot a burst of machine-gun fire. When my family was on the floor; they cut the forehead of my cousin with a burst of machine-gun fire; tore out one of my aunt’s breast and bayoneted my father Jose on his neck.”
This happened in the farm San Jose de Altamira in Escambray and was left in the memory of Bartolo Romero forever.
“If you do not get my mother off, I do not go, she is alive,” Nemesia Rodriguez said after the attack of the mercenary plane in Giron. Her father had covered the body of her wife; she could not see the wound. “I thought she was alive. Then the wind lifted the sheet, all her bowel was outside. I saw the inside of my mother.”
From the crew member Ramon J. Fernandez Lefebre, one of the victims of the abominable crime of Barbados, the cap of his uniform was the only thing found, Ninoska Fernandez, his eldest daughter remembers.
“I was traumatized forever with the death of my father.”
“Mum, I think I won’t be able t olive anymore, I am going to die,” these words are, in the memories of Zenaida J. Isla Romero, one of the last phrases she heard from her daughter Yamile Villalonga, who was just 5 years old when she died as victim of hemorrhagic dengue, devastating disease introduced in Cuba from the US.
There are thousands of examples as consequence of the terrorist actions carried out against Cubans inside and outside Cuba. The contradiction is that the promoter of the war, the one that practices terrorism in its international relations keeps Cuba in the spurious list of countries that “sponsor of terror”. None of the western media dares to deny it, despite the evidences show the contrary. Media conspiracy against our country is still odd and reaches unforeseen levels, mainly in the case of the Cuban Five. So far, none of the US media has been worried to investigate why the American government has incarcerated those men after recognizing in the trial that the struggle against terrorism was the main goal of the defendants.
None of the media rebukes its government for the additional special condition of supervised release that forbid Rene Gonzalez (one of the Cuban Five already freed currently living in Cuba) and will do it with Tony associate or visit places frequently visited by terrorist groups or promoters of violence.
There have been 16 years since the Cuban Five were arrested, and there are many questions yet that media has the obligation to ask and find the answers. While this impunity prevails, Cuba has the need to defend itself; there are more eyes and ears needed in Florida.
