A RESPONSE TO JACK NICHOLSON ON HIS REMARKS ABOUT CASTRO AND CLINTON

July 22, 1998

Dear Mr. Nicholson:

As a Cuban-American, and professional screenwriter (Writers Guild of
America, west member) for over 20 years, I was saddened by your
endorsement of Fidel Castro on the trade publication Variety after your
recent visit to Cuba. It is disheartening how gifted, well-meaning
artists--such as yourself--eyes ablaze with romantic notions of
revolution, see what they want to see and believe what they
want to believe, ignoring the sad reality that is totalitarian Cuba.

Perhaps you're not aware that in Cuba you would not enjoy the
Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms which we all enjoy in the United
States of America. It is, in fact, a lack of free expression and
association which have compelled almost two million Cubans (15 percent of
the entire Cuban population) to seek exile abroad.

Specially painful is that your remarks came on the anniversary of the
ramming of a tugboat by Cuban authorities. This tugboat, "13 de Marzo,"
acted as a kind of ferry connecting the vicinity of Regla to Havana
Harbor. On July 13, 1994, the vessel left on what--by all appearances--was
a routine trek carrying 22 men, 30 women, and 20 children. In reality,
these 72 people were attempting to flee the prison island.

The children on the boat ranged in ages from six months to 11 years of
age. In all, 41 people were drowned in the attack. I am enclosing a
partial list of the children who were murdered in this incident for your
contemplation.

Indeed, Castro is a "genius," as you put it, a genius at covering up his
crimes against humanity, and a real genius at using people like you for
his self-serving propaganda.

Most baffling is your comparison of President Clinton with dictator
Castro: "they're both humanists. They should get together. And it would be
great for Clinton's legacy." However, on that point, my pen has completely
dried up.


IN REMEMBRANCE:

Here's a partial list of the Cuban children murdered by Cuban
authorities in the tugboat attack of July 13, 1994.

Helen Martinez Enrique, 6 months old
Odalys Munoz Garcia, 1 year old

Regarding the Death of Joachim Lovschall

Subject: Regarding Death of Joachim Lovschall

http://www.fiu.edu/~fcf/dangerousvacatio111197.html

I am trying to find information about the murder of the Danish tourist:
Joachim Lovschall.  He was shot and killed by Cuban soldiers in Havana
on March 29, 1997.  His family in Denmark believes a 'Cuban newspaper'
has printed articles about Joachim's deplorable death.  They are asking
me to try contact the following person for them:

Mr. Roger R. Hernandes
1784 W. Flagler St., Suite 19
Miami, FL
Chairman for the magazine or newspaper:  'Cardenas'

Also:  Mr. Ricardo Donate 

The Lovschall family would like the email address or phone number of
anyone with information.  They received in December some letters from
Exile Cubans in Miami.  They are hoping one of them will be able to get
a copy of this 'Cuban newspaper' article or may have more information
about their son's death.

Because the Free Cuba Foundation is based in Miami and involved in the
lack of Human Rights in Cuba, I thought that you might possibly have a
way of getting a message to Roger Hernandes, the newspaper 'Cardenas',
or Ricardo Donate.  If so, would you be so kind as to email me:
Elizabeth Smith, es60@hotmail.com   (I am a US citizen and lived with
the Lovschall family, when Joachim was a little boy, while I attended a
university in Denmark.)

The family of Joachim Lovschall has presented this horrible murder to
the European Union, to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, by 
broadcasting on the Danish radio, through numerous newspaper articles in
Denmark and Norway
 to name a few.  The Cuban government has answered  some letters from
an official note from the Danish government to Fidel Castro
  however, his 'Cuban newspaper' article or may have more information
their answer was far from satisfactory and does not uncover the real
truth.  Because the answer was unacceptable, the Lovschall family is
putting more pressure on the Danish Parliament
They want the real truth about what happened and want the person
responsible for Joachim's death to be held accountable.  They wish to
bring attention to the death of their son, who was a 26 year old market
economist from Denmark.  On March 29, 1997 he was shot and killed in
Havana by Cuban soldiers.  No one, including the press, knew of his
death for 6 days.  Danish authorities and his family in Denmark were not
contacted for 9 days.  The Cuban government would not release his body
for 23 days, so that it could be returned home to Denmark for his
funeral. 
Joachim Lovschall simply wanted to learn Spanish in Havana and wanted to
meet the people of Cuba.  He was very interested in Human Rights.  He
was not a tourist in one of the resort hotels.  He had been living in
Cuba for nearly 3 months, renting a room from a Cuban family and
learning Spanish at a university in Havana.  He loved the Cuban people.
He loved Havana.

The Lovschall family feels it is very important to inform and warn
people about the dangers in Cuba, not only for the 1.2 million tourists
from all over the world, who continue to visit Cuba thinking it is a
paradise vacation spot ... but more importantly, for the sake of the
Cuban people who now live in Cuba.  Bombings and terrorism occur all
over the world and are carried out by terrorists.  However in Cuba,
inhumane and inexcusable acts of lawlessness and injustice are carried
out, not by terrorists, but by the Cuban government. 
At this point they are asking for help in obtaining any information
regarding their son's death.

Thank you so much for your time
 and thank you for the important work om from a Cuban family and
your foundation accomplishes.  I have searched for information on the
Internet regarding 'Cuba' for the last 16 months and find your website
to be the most informative and educational

 I only wish that Joachim  it is very important to inform and warn
and I had found your site while we searched for information on a
paradise called Cuba, back in January 1997 while he visited my family

Dear Free Cuba Foundation,
greetings from New York City and que viva Cuba Libre.
How sad the idiots and Chusmos your organization has to put up with. I
apologize for creeps such as "Yann-Ber Messager" and his poor choice of
words. Please allow me to write him in civil rebuttal. Who ever you are,
please get your values straight, this is not a reform school or a street
corner in an undesirable part of your country. You are not accomplishing
any thing by saying "F-ck you" how sad, Did you have a happy childhood?
Where you abused by your parents? Do you have hate in your heart? Are
you so angry? Is that why you support a dictator? Are you Cuban? Do you
know about the executions or the TUG BOAT KILLINGS OF JULY 13 WHERE 41
CUBANS LOST THEIR LIVES TRYING TO ESCAPE DICTATORSHIP?
And come on "Yanni" dont give us the hype and propaganda about Cuba and
Kastro having the best health care and education, we know better, we
have seen it, we have lived it, and please tell us something new next
time, we where not born yesterday and this communist "passion morality
play"of your tribe does not fly with us any more. If you want to be EURO
TRASH, dont do it on our time, do it on some one else's! We have more
important things to do, like exposing hypocrisy, working with human
rights organizations, and forming coalitions with students who care
about democracy and freedom. You know D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y.
Free CUBA, Free Tibet, Support human rights in China, and support
Taiwan!
Oh and one more thing Yanni, I advise you to invest in a good dictionary
and word processing program with SPELL CHECK. Your spelling and style
really sucks! Gee, for some one who speaks about the wonders of Castro
Cuban EDUCATION, you're sure lacking in the fundamentals of good grammar.
Maybe you can spend a summer in Havana, practicing your hatred.

Subject: Che Guevara and Crimes

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am looking for Internet resources dealing with Cuban government crimes
after the communist revolution. In particular I'm interested in the role
of Che Guevara.

Due to leftist propaganda here in Germany Che Guevara is still considered
as the bright shining saint of a "better" communist future. There's hardly
anybody revealing Che's role as a supporter of hatred, violence and
suppression.

Can you help me?

Subject: Che Guevara

If you're out to turn Che Guevara into a symbol of a totalitarian
regime, you're doing this in vain. Your essay does nothing to really
indict Che Guevara as being a brutal man. You say that Che Guevara's
programs were founded in hatred, when in fact he said much to the
opposite: "At the risk of sounding ridiculous, let me say that the true
revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.  It is impossible to
think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality." Che said to hate a
brutal enemy - is this really so out of the ordinary? Batista's regime
embezzled the retirement funds of old Cubans, gave younger Cubans no
future, gave women the option of prostitution or poverty. Is it wrong to
hate this? Is it wrong to want to change the political climate? Che's
point was that revolution cannot be successful unless the revolutionary
has centered his life around making a better life for himself.


As for the comments about Castro's regime, Guevara has always had
little to do with it. Being dead for a good long while, Guevara's image
has been appropriated for propaganda purposes, but otherwise all vestiges
of Che's vision of Cuba have been destroyed. Guevara disagreed with
Castro's agrigarian policies (which brought economic ruin to Cuba), and
wanted nothing to do with the Soviets who Fidel dealt with. Castro
eventually betrayed Guevara, giving him no assistance when he left for
Bolivia. So to say that Guevara has had anything to do with the current
wave of Cuban refugees is absurd, and does a great man injustice.

Subject: Che was no way near Jesus!

Dear Student,
I dont know what vacuum you are existing in, but in this century alone, I
can think of a multitude of individuals who have benefited us with their
Christ like presence. Sad to say, but your hero Che was not one of them.
Lets see, there was Krishnamaurti (the Indian sage, believed to be an
incarnation of Christ), Ghandi (non violence, unlike Che), Martin Luther
King jr. (Equality and non violence again. He marched peacefully down
south, while Che carried guns and revolution in Africa and Latin America),
His Holiness the Dali Lama (need I say more), Mother Theresa (love,
compassion, bravery, forgiveness), and the list goes on, even with
ordinary
non famous people who have done more charity and good works than all of
Che's so called "heroics". These are the real revolutionaries. This is the
future. Jose Marti's and father Felix Valera's actions were 100 times more
brave and macho than any of Che's cowardly un Christian violence. This is
reality!
And if my memory serves me right, Jesus never carried an AK-47 or beret.
Viva Cuba Libre, from New York !

P.S.
Student, I have a little public relations project for you.
Locate persons, family members, or others who have had loved ones executed
by Che or by his orders. You can find them in Miami. And go up to them and 
tell them what you think about Che's being the new Messiah. i think you
will get interesting answers.

Subj:   Jose Serrano enemy of democracy in Cuba


Thanks for your great site.

Hello again!

Went to your site again and finally sent the letter of protest to Clinton.
Was also looking at the links and found the site for the Congress of the
United States. Decided to look up my local congress person, but instead I
was reminded of something more interesting or sinister if you decide to
look at it that way. Jose Serrano is his name.

Congressman Jose Serrano, a Puerto Rican from the Bronx is and has always
been an outright, out of the closet supporter of Castro, and lifter of the
embargo. I dont know if you have heard of him, he always comes out as a
"nice" guy who comes across as interested in sports, running, and Frank
Sinatra. But apart from these good things, he has been vocal in wanting to
lift the embargo, doing away with the Cuba Democracy Act, dismantling
Radio Marti, and trying to discredit and make illegal the actions of
patriotic Cuban Americans (like Bros. To the Rescue) who care about
freedom and human rights in Cuba. 

He is known along with Congressman Charlie Wrangle also of
New York, to be on intimate terms with the tyrant Castro and has been
known to travel frequently to Cuba. (hhmmm. I wonder what he's doing
there? Oh, I know, the fishing and scuba diving is really good there, and
I heard they make a mean picadillo in a little restaurant in la habana)
During the UN's 50th birthday, he along with Wrangle where seen with Fidel
at functions where the dictator was invited. One has to really commend
mayor Rudy Guliani (although I dont agree with how he runs the city
sometimes) for kicking Castro and Arafat out of a function at the Lincoln
Center Opera House which was hosted by the city of New York. That took
alot of COJONES or the New York equivalent CHUTZPA. The mayor's rational
was that New York City does not support, like, or patronize individuals
who are known human rights abusers, and terrorists.

Jose Serrano and others, where seen with Castro, when the dictator gave a
speech at the famous church of Rev. Calvin Butts Jr. (an institution which
was primal in the fight for civil rights in America, but out of reverse
discrimination, and hypocrisy sold them selves to the lies of Fidel and
Co.) and later they all went out to dinner at the infamous Jimmy's
All-star cafe in the Bronx.

The bad thing about Jose Serrano is that although he is very enthusiastic
about promoting equal rights in America, and improving the life of inner
city minorities, and fighting for social justice issues like, an end to
police brutality, help for public learning institutions, the war on drugs
in the ghetto, and self determination and equality for Puerto Rico, he has
always turned a blind eye towards real democracy in Cuba.

His acts are hypocritical, and they lack a complete disregard and
disrespect for the tragedies, and terrors our families and others have
suffered under the evils of the revolution.

How can a man, who is supposedly educated, a responsible member of
society, a United States congressman, support and at times, sound like a
public relations spin doctor to the communist government in Cuba? It just
does not make sense. Is he a foreign agent? He sure sounds it at times. As
a old Cuban might say, "que relajo y chusmeria !"

I will be writing a report on that infamous Sunday evening a couple of
years back when Castro, Serrano, Wrangle, Butts,etc. where present at the
famous church for the Cuba "relajo" fest as I have come to call it. If any
one can get a copy of a video of this function which was shown on C-SPAN
it is well worth it. One can see Castro at his worst and also you can
sample good old New York reverse discrimination and double standard. I
will post this report on the news groups so look out for it.

I have also included some speeches given by Serrano regarding his actions
to up revolutionary Cuba, and defame the valiant efforts of the exile and
Cuban American community.

Thanks for your time!

You Should Know This,

I am hereby contacting you in an attempt to make the situation of my hostage-family in Cuba.

My parents, Isaac and Daisy Cohen, my brother David Cohen, my wife Lazara Brito and my three small children, Yanelis, Yamila and Isaac, 13,9 and 4 years old respectively, are being forced to live in Cuba against their will, without the right to work, and being subjected to psychological pressures in an attempt to destabilize them emotionally.

My mother was fired from her job, my wife was detained and taken to the headquarters of the State Security in view of our children, where she was questioned like a common criminal. My home was brutally searched by 7 goons from the tyranny in full view of my four small children. Their only crime: To want to live in freedom along with their son and husband.

My family is hostage to Castro's tyranny. They have the Visas to travel to the United States, but the Cuban government, in open violation of the most basic of human rights, keep them against their will, abusing the innocence of three children and the impotence of an two elderly persons and a woman.

How is it possible that something like this is happening at the end of the 20th Century, and that the world is passively looking at a criminal who has betrayed and subjected his people to a life of absolute material and spiritual misery, without hope for the future, and no one is doing a thing to put an end to such suffering?

I'm asking God and you for help. Help me so that the world may know, once again, what a sick mind is capable of, a man sick by ambition and ego, whose only concern is his own personal trek regardless of the human costs. Help me so that public opinion can attempt to contain such crimes and abuses, and will not turn into a worse tragedy, in a worse suffering for my family.

My family is not being allowed to work, they live on the funds which we can send, however, this is illegal, and as such their situation is desperate. It involves the lives of two elderly, a woman and three children.

My children are forced to study a false history, retrograde and unjust doctrines, at school they teach them to hate and resent, and cannot life in freedom. My children want to live with both their parents, to have a happy childhood and are branded by the suffering which is imposed on them by Castro's criminal dictatorship.

I ask that justice be done and that this letter is published around the world. It involves the lives of an entire family, muzzled by terror and misery, forced to live in a prison without having ever committed a crime other than to want to live in freedom.

My hostage-family's address in Cuba is Calle 15 #505, 5 D y E, Apartment 7, Vedado, Havana, Cuba. Their telephone number is 32 08 03, you can verify the above by calling my family.

Thank you,
