The Plague’s Address

The plague of the universe once again vomited his nonsense regarding Cuba before the U.N. General Assembly, with the intention of justifying his collective punishment of our people. Or perhaps so the world community will at least tolerate the crime, out of fear that he will direct his fire and sulfur toward other nations. The rules of diplomacy were obeyed, but perhaps he should have been kicked out instead.

The champion of the twisted concept of peace through force insulted the U.N. and its members within its own headquarters. Standing at the podium, he played the part of supreme decision-maker of the final judgment — the deliverer of Armageddon: sweeping communism from Cuba; completely annihilating Iran; kidnapping a president and appropriating his country’s resources; and offering veiled threats to Mexico concerning the existence of drug cartels, while blithely ignoring the cartels in the United States, and on and on.

And not a single goal was set for a land so wounded by evil; not a single breath that was not arrogant — arrogant and exploitative. The violator of all the rules, who has already unbalanced the globe, continues his destabilization through fear and intimidation as he imposes his will.

What a sad gathering it is that must tolerate a deranged individual — with legal charges pending against him — as he addresses them, when they must sit and listen, bowing to protocol or out of fear.


El apestado universal vuelve a vomitar sus sandeces sobre Cuba ante la Asamblea General de la ONU, con el objetivo de justificar el castigo colectivo contra nuestro pueblo o, al menos, que la comunidad mundial le tolere el crimen, asustada de que ponga sus ojos de fuego y azufre sobre otras naciones. Se entienden las reglas de la diplomacia, pero tal vez debería haber recibido un zapatazo como respuesta.
El paladín de la concepción retorcida de la paz a través de la fuerza ofende a la ONU y a sus miembros en su propia sede. Actúa sobre el podio como el decisor supremo del juicio final y repartidor de armagedones: barrer con el comunismo en Cuba, aniquilar definitivamente a Irán, secuestrar a un presidente y apropiarse de los recursos de su país, amenazar veladamente a México por la existencia de los carteles de droga mientras olvida sibilinamente los carteles en USA, y así sucesivamente.
Ni un solo proyecto para una tierra herida de maldades; ni un solo aliento que no sea a la prepotencia, la arrogancia y el despojo. El violador de todas las reglas, que ya dan un pobre equilibrio al planeta, asusta e intimida para imponer las suyas. Triste tierra que tiene que tolerar que un desequilibrado con causas pendientes de tránsfuga se dirija a él y deba escucharlo, por protocolo o temor.
