cuba will save the day.....hugo and fidel along with danny the diddler...and correa from banana republic have it all figured out .....redistribution of everyone elses money....

"As a result of the social workers efforts 2.8 million low-energy consumption light bulbs were installed, 7 percent more than originally planned, reported Prensa Latina. "

0000

What was the cost saving of 2.8 million low-energy bulb replacements?

It was considerable by any standards, given the minimum cost of replacement.

Let's hope that the electric companies pass the savings on to the consumers.

Meanwhile, the slime of the Yukon babbles on and on.

Emigres Proud, Tell Fidel Castro

Havana, Mar 22 (Prensa Latina) Participants in the meeting of Cuban Residents Abroad against the Blockade and Terrorism sent a message to Fidel Castro on Saturday, expressing their pride for being Cubans.

"This pride stems to a great extent from the work we have been building for 50 years under your wise leadership," the text says.

"You can be certain that, just like us, there are hundreds of Cubans worldwide, who feel an everlasting appreciation for you, because of your life of sacrifice and devotion to our people," it adds.

The Cuban emigres wished Fidel Castro good health, "so that we can count on you for many more years."

oooo

The slime of the Yukon meanwhile rejoices over 7 worthless and opportunist "basketball" players.

who are these emigres ...the soccer team....the pride of cuba

half of these poor souls would defect if they could ...who likes to live in chains of communism

"who are these emigres ..."

oooo

Here's what the lying Miami Herald writes about them:

"Organizers did not say how many émigrés came from each country, but there were some from the United States, including Max Lesnik, a Cuban revolutionary-turned-South Florida radio commentator who says he hates both communism and U.S. sanctions against the island."

[Lesnik is "left" in reactionary Florida.]

"Most participants who live in the United States declined to give their names, saying they feared being sanctioned by the American government under travel restrictions against Cuba."

[By "sanctioned," the Herald means thrown in prison for 10 years because they traveled or moved with Bush's permission.]

"The Cuban government says that between 1.3 million and 1.5 million Cuban citizens and their children live abroad and about 193,000 of those returned to the island on visits last year, Pérez Roque said."

Wiki estimates 45,000 US citizens visit Cuba every year dispite the threat of repression by the US regime in the form of 10-year prison sentences for traveling or moving without G. W. Bush's permission.

No doubt a good portion of the 45,000 are Cuban emigres in the USA.

There are also very large Cuban communities in Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, DR, and Spain. So, these countries were most likely included in the 30 countries represented at the gathering.

There are political and economic implications of the gathering.

Perhaps, the most important economic implication is the possibility of increasing the number of annual visits by emigres from 193,000 to something like 500,000, with most the visiting emigres coming from countries other than from the USA.

The most important political implication is the supplanting of extreme and savage Cuban-American reactionaries in the Miami area as the international voice of Cuban diaspora.

US Cubans presume to speak for everybody.

"The Cubans carried out their work in several departments of Haiti. This included visits to 93,572 homes and 63,000 workplaces, state government statistics," DT wrote.

Peace Corp was running around spying, counting the light bulbs the Cubans replaced.

" Mr. 'president' Bush, they're up to 54,000 homes and 30,000 workplaces," the Corp reports.

"OK, but keep countin,' " Bush replies.

"Mr. 'president' Bush, you want us to bug them. We got eavesdropping equipment down here." the Corp asks.

I agreed with any humanitarian assistant to the Haitian people regardless as to where it come from, as long as it doesn't have any strings attached, the liberty and the right of the Haitian people to elected who they want running their country is of most importance to the DR.

could not have said it better myself, santanar. at least somebody is helping them, and Lord knows, they need all the help they can get. ask the naysayers when was the last time they offered a dollar towards alleviating the malaise in Haiti.

If they had an election today the majority would prefer to have baby doc return...compared to what they have now....no amount of whining by do gooders can change this fact....Maxine Waters and that bunch should have stayed out ....instead they created a human disaster

Mr. Gouletcolonial, where did you hear or read this about Bebe Doc's supposed popularity? I can assure you, people would most certainly oppose any return by him. As for Maxine Waters... well, she didn't "create" a disaster. Even Haitians will recognize that their awful living conditions were a long time in the making, and the result of so many things.

Caracas, Mar 25. ABN.- Next Wednesday, April 9th, the Bank of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA Bank) will be opened in Havana, Cuba, the Venezuelan Minister of Finance Rafael Isea said.

In an interview on Venezolana de Televisión (VTV) the finance minister said that this financial institution has born as a tool for the development of the countries that are part of this mechanism: Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Dominica, and Bolivia.

In this regard, Isea said that next April 8th, a promoter group will be appointed, which will be formed by a representative of each ALBA's countries.

He added that the goal of this group will be to start Bank's operative work until the end of April, as well as appointing a General Manager.

The signing of the foundational act of the Alba Bank was carried out last January 26th. A 60-day period to finish all the pending aspects was established..

Con't

p.2

In this sense, Isea said that “today, March 25th, 59 days after, we are informing that we have complied with the term and we have finished the discussion of all the pending issues."

The finance minister said that ALBA countries have completely agreed on the constituent document.

Furthermore, he said that it was agreed the incorporation of the capital or the foundational act of the Bank, which will count at the beginning with 2 billion dollars of authorized capital and 1 billion dollars of subscribed capital.

The ALBA Bank was an initiative of the Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez Frías, supported by his counterparts in Cuba, Bolivia, Dominica, and Nicaragua.

oooo

It's interesting that the Bank's headquarters will be in Cuba, given that this means that a whopping, staggering, and mind-blowing three billion dollars will be or, more likely, has been depositied in Cuba for the Bank's operations.

nutty hugo spending the country of Venezuela bankrupt ..meanwhile they are lining up for many goods in Caracas....and people have to smuggle money out of the country...even the poor are turning on this wacko

p.3

1. The $3 billion Bank blows a huge hole in the blockade of Cuba by the US imperialists.

2. The Bank dramatically increases Cuba's clout in the financial affairs of the Caribbean, especially Nicaragua and Dominica.

3. The Bank will likely encourage a Cuban-centered integration in the Caribbean.

4. The Bank may attract English-speaking Caribbean countries which enjoy excellent relations with Cuba into ALBA.

5. The Bank will likely spur further development of Cuba's growing expertise in the arcane field of international banking, an important industry in the Caribbean.

6. The Bank will likely emphasize projects in fields in which the Cubans are strong like health care, education, agriculture, housing, energy, and various fields of engineering.

7. The Bank will relieve much of the administrative pressure on the Venezuelans who have the hands full with the recently established Bank of the South which services South American countries.

belial this is comedy material....The Venezuelans love to see their money being given away to support international marxism and terrorists

"nutty hugo spending the country of Venezuela bankrupt ..meanwhile they are lining up for many goods in Caracas....and people have to smuggle money out of the country...even the poor are turning on this wacko," proclaims the Yukon nut.

oooo

Venezuelan oil income has improved significantly

http://www.abn.info.ve/go_news5.php?articulo=126152&lee=17

When Chavez came to power 1998, a barrel sold for $12, but today it may go for a $112.

In 1998, Venezuela kept about 15% of its oil revenue, today it keeps 80%.

How much money is Steve Harper, the imperialist whore of Canada, spending to support Bush's military policies in Afghanistan?

"The Venezuelans love to see their money being given away to support international marxism and terrorists"

0000

Unlike many Canadians, the Venezuelans want to exercise their sovereignty rather than surrender to US imperialist control.

Before Chavez, it was not feasible to develop the oil sands in Alberta, except as pilot projects.

Canada now makes billions as a residual effect of Chavez policies.

it keeps a lot less because nutty hugo is spending it like drunken sailor on leftist pipe dreams and bribing foreign governments like Argentina and supporting terrorist groups like FARC

you poor buffoon belial ...you are only a tool...not a Johnston

"it keeps a lot less because nutty hugo is spending it like drunken sailor on leftist pipe dreams and bribing foreign governments like Argentina and supporting terrorist groups like FARC"

0000

NED ( the US National Endowment for Democracy) sends money to Argentina and Colombia to turn them against Venezuela.

NED uses a number of Canadian foundations, imperialist whores, to funnel money to various Latin American and Caribbean countries.

Moreover, Steve sends Canadian money to the region, kissing the behind of the mad cowboy from Texas or, more correctly, the mad cow.

"you are only a tool...not a Johnston"

oooo

I act and speak in accordance with just and revolutionary principles.

"you act and speak like an imbecile only less intelligent "

oooo

Typical of imperialist stooges, your unwarranted discourtesies express the extreme pain and suffering you feel when you see the growth of economic integration and political unity among Latin American countries, among Caribbean countries and between Latin American and Caribbean countries.

The more it hurts, the better it will be for you.

very soon you are going to get some bad news from cuba......then I will say.....I told you so...... remember this senor moron....raul is beginning to fold

"very soon you are going to get some bad news from cuba......then I will say.....I told you so...... remember this senor moron....raul is beginning to fold"

0000

You are a false prophet and wishful "thinker."

If the US economy continues to unravel, Canada ... the colony of US imperialists ... will likely get bad news.

News which Steve ... this idiot, slave, and imperialist water-carrier north of the US border ... may try to blame on Raul, rather than George, Steve's master.

belial the wanker from wiki and the very small communist worlds greatest authority has spoken

God bless you Venezuela. Thank you so much.

"God bless you Venezuela. Thank you so much."

oooo

"I HAVE AND ABUNDANTLY," the divine books states.

"God bless you Venezuela. Thank you so much."

oooo

"EXCEEDINGLY," the divine book states.

WHY DIDN'T ELVIS SING "DON'T STEP ON MY BLUE SUEDE SHOES?"
