Verdens værste lande hvad angår frihed og borgerrettigheder
Og man skulle jo tro det er Danmark og USA, det plejer det jo at være i danske medier.
Nej det er:
Nordkorea, Burma, Cuba, Chad, Sudan, Hviderusland, Kina, Ækvatorial-guinea, Eritrea, Laos, Libyen, Saudi-Arabien, Somalia, Syrien, Uzbekistan og Zimbabwe
ifølge menneskeretsorganisationen Freedom House, der også tidligere har udtrykt hård kritik af FN’s menneskerettighedsråd.
Men bare rolig venner. Om et par dage er det her glemt igen, så er alt business as usual og DR punker videre på Danmark og USA’s onde, onde regeringer.

Professor i sundhedsøkonomi anmelder Moores ‘Sicko’
Professor Kjeld Møller Pedersen, Syddansk Universitet skriver om ‘Sicko’ bl.a.:
“Anskuet analytisk og med godt kendskab til sundhedsvæsener er det en dårlig film: dokumentationen er meget selektiv, forsøgene på at forklare de amerikanske problemer er rudimentære, amatøragtige og ikke overbevisende men båret af Moores kæpheste og et relativt beskedent kendskab til både det amerikanske sundhedsvæsen og de lande, han lovpriser som alternativer: England, Frankrig og Cuba - sidstnævnte nok med et glimt i øjet - noget, højrefløjen i USA har overset i den efterfølgende skingre kritik. Moore rider tre kæpheste uden refleksion: profit er roden til alle dårligdomme, forsikringsselskaberne er ondskaben, og et offentligt drevet og finansieret sundhedsvæsen med adgang for alle er den eneste løsning - adgangen til sundhedsydelser er en menneskerettighed. Der er ingen distraherende og nuancerende ekspertudsagn. Fy føj!”

Sverige på støtten
The equivalent of just over one million Swedes lived entirely on social welfare benefits last year, down three percent on 2005.

Nima Sanandaji skriver om kommunism i The Local. Sanandaji skriver om en undersökning genomförd av Demoskop som visar att svenska ungdomar mellan 15 och 20 vet mycket lite om kommunismens historia. Hela 90 procent vet inte vad Gulag var. Sanandaji skriver också om dagens syn på kommunism och om myten att Kuba är en rik välfärdsstat.
“Few bother to question the official statistics from a communist country where thousands of citizens have lost their lives whilst attempting to escape on rafts to the United States. Cuba might have gone from being the richest country in Central American to being the second poorest due to Castro’s rule – but this has not stopped Swedish intelligentsia from spreading a positive view of his policies.”

Socialister søger ung solidaritet på Cuba
Cuba is a source country for women and children trafficked internally for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation.
Cuban adults and children also are exploited for forced labor, mostly in commercial agriculture; some are reportedly trafficked to the United States under circumstances of debt bondage.
The extent of trafficking within Cuba is hard to gauge due to the closed nature of the government and sparse non-governmental or independent reporting.
However, by all accounts, the country is a major destination for sex tourism, including child sex tourism.
Cuba’s thriving sex trade caters to thousands of European, Canadian, and Latin American tourists every year, and involves large numbers of Cuban girls and boys, some as young as 12.
State-run hotel workers, travel employees, cab drivers, hospitality staff, and police steer tourists to prostituted women and children and facilitate the commercial sexual exploitation of these women and children. Sex trafficking of Cuban women to Mexico and Western Europe also has been reported.

Den morderiske slyngel Che Guevara
Che Guevara, who aided Fidel Castro in his rise to power in Cuba in the late 1950s and early 1960s, is today an icon of liberal culture worldwide.
His picture and image adorn countless products, from posters to t-shirts to CD cases to bikinis.
Robert Redford made a 2004 movie about Guevara, “The Motorcycle Diaries,” which won media praise and an Academy Award. Two more Guevara movies are due for release in 2008.
Yet the liberal-left and Hollywood are perpetuating myths, if not outright lies, about Guevara, according to author Humberto Fontova in his book, “Exposing the Real Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him.”
Fontova discussed with Cybercast News Service his new book and what he describes as the real Guevara - the man who directly helped Castro put into place a communist regime responsible for at least 102,000 deaths and which has cycled 500,000 people through its gulag.
Her er første del af interviewet og anden del.
Citat:
Cybercast News Service: What do you consider to be some of Guevara’s greatest crimes or offenses that people today should know about?
Humberto Fontova: He was the chief executioner. He performed for the Cuban revolution what Heinrich Himmler performed for the Nazis. Everything Che Guevara did was directed by Fidel Castro. Early on, when they were in the mountains, Castro realized that Che seemed to relish executing little farm boys. There were executions carried out, carried out in the mountains, of so-called informers. I interviewed many people who witnessed those executions. There was no due process.
Che Guevara wrote a letter to his father in 1957 and to his abandoned wife. In the letter to her, he wrote, “I’m here in Cuba’s hills, alive and thirsting for blood.” Then, to his father, “I really like killing.” The man was a clinical sadist, whereas Fidel Castro you could describe as a psychopath in that the murders did not affect him one way or the other. It was a means to an end - the consolidation of his one-man rule. Che has a famous quote, where he wrote, a revolutionary has to become “a cold killing machine.” The thing was, Che Guevara was anything but cold. He was a warm killing machine. He relished the slaughter.

Om et af Kamelens foretrukne medier
Kamel Qureshi i Ugeskrift for Læger
“Når vi i de seneste år har været ude og talt med lægekolleger fra andre dele af verden, bliver der spurgt til, hvad der foregår i Danmark. Veluddannede grupper læser også The Guardian og The Economist…”
“Shamefully for the Guardian, it seems that a previously published article falsely suggested that “Cuba, Brazil, Haiti and the Dominican Republic all have poor records concerning the intimidation, incarceration and sometimes the killing of journalists“.
What nonsense! Fortunately, Mr. Green is happy to set the record straight:
” … the inclusion of Cuba in your list of countries that ‘have poor records’ in this area seems rather eccentric. The odd critical journalist may be subjected to minor harassment, but there are no records of journalists being beaten up, killed or tortured. It must be one of the safest places for journalists, even if not the easiest, to work in.”
This evaluation will come as a surprise to the uninformed campaigners at Reporters Without Borders, who have been misled - most likely by right-wing politicians and governments - into thinking that 20 journalists that were arrested in 2003 are still serving lengthy prison sentences (as of July).
The latest available (2004) annual report from RWB lists 29 cases of the “minor harrassment” to which Mr. Green refers, many of them mere threats of imprisonment - which would not possibly have been taken seriously in the safe-for-journalists climate of the country. These journalists, along with the five who reported being “physically attacked“, will undoubtedly welcome Mr. Green’s reassurances as to the safety of reporting from the island paradise.”

Communist Broadcast Service (CBS) 60 minutes
Last night on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Bob Simon interviewed Elian Gonzalez, who is now 11 years old and living in Cuba.
Predictably, the interview touched off a minor “El Nino” event in far-reaching corners of the blogosphere.
“Did you see last night’s shameless ‘60 Minutes’ interview of Elian Gonzalez, five years later?” asks Debbie Schlussel on debbieschlussel.com. “Clearly, the boy has been brainwashed to the nth degree. You’d have to be brainwashed to call Fidel Castro your ‘friend’ and ‘father.’
“I blame CBS, ‘60 Minutes,’ and left-wing reporter Bob Simon for helping perpetrate this farce of an interview/’report,’” continues Schlussel. “Simon let Elian go on and on about how he missed his father when he was in Miami. Reality Check: Elian’s parents were divorced, his mother was his sole caretaker, and he barely ever saw or even knew his father. Where was Bob Simon on this point?”
Others simply felt bad for Elian. “I feel so horribly for this boy,” writes Merchants And Thieves. “He is being brainwashed by both the Americans and the Cubans, caught in a crossfire, being made an archetype, a symbolic figure, communism against democracy.”
Sympathy aside, KillCastro sees the interview as just another example of CBS’s longstanding romance with the Cuban leader, referring to the station as the “Communist Broadcast Service.”
Bare lige for at sætte et andet perspektiv på CBS’ 60-minutes udsendelse om Danmark.
Her i landet angives 60-minutes jo som det bedste USA-TV der findes.

Revolutionsromantisk poesi blomstrer i Ugeskrift for Læger
En artikel om Che Guevaras datter har været gæst ved det sociale forum i København, og Ugevennen har et interview med hende.
Artiklen starter således:
“Che Guevara, den melankolske kriger med blikket skuende drømmerisk mod en fjern men smukkere fremtid, var oprindeligt uddannet læge. Efter at have befriet Cuba sammen med Fidel Castro blev han en af regeringens betroede ministre. Osv osv.”
Ja 68′erne har ikke levet forgæves, indledningen kunne være skrevet af Røde Mor.
Ugeskrift for Læger; 13/2 2006. Side 724.
Wiki har et kritisk afsnit om Che:
Criticism of Che
Though seen by communists as a hero, opposers of Guevara including cuban exiles think of Che as a killer and terrorist. They point to what they see as the less savory aspects of Guevara’s life, taking the viewpoint that he was enthusiastic about executing opponents of the Cuban Revolution. Some of Che’s writing is cited as evidence of this enthusiasm, as quoted in an article by Alvaro Vargas Llosa. For example, in his “Message to the Tricontinental” he writes of “hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine.”[26]
New York Sun writer, Williams Myers, labels Che as a “sociopathic thug”. Other US newspaper critics have made similar remarks. They point out that Che Guevara was responsible for the torture and execution of hundreds of people in Cuban prisons, and the murder of many more peasants in the regions controlled or visited by his guerrilla forces. More controversial is the belief that Che failed medical school in Argentina and that there is no evidence that he earned a medical degree. [11], [12],[13],[14]
Some critics, such as Che-Mart, have merchandised their dislike of Che Guevara, his communist beliefs, what they believe are his murderous intents, and his modern apologists by marketing t-shirts poking fun of both Che Guevara and Che supporters. [15]
Although much criticism of Guevara and his legacy emanates from the political center and right, there has also been criticism from other political groups such as Anarchists and Civil libertarians, some of whom considered Guevara an authoritarian anti-working class Stalinist, whose goal was the creation of a more bureaucratic state-Stalinist regime.[16]
