Listen, Yankee!. Stop Cabieses Manuel Donoso Gabriela Mistral

Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States
Mr. President, Simon Bolivar wrote on August 5, 1829: "The United States seems destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of Freedom." Prophecy confirmed a thousand times today. Liberator's warning came true not only in Latin America and the Caribbean, condemned by their geographical proximity and its enormous wealth to pillage the U.S. suffer and his legions of marines. Since World War II, the voracious predator of the new rule was universal and continues to commit crimes against humanity and call for freedom human rights of their victims. Your country, Mr President, that forged copies inspired by noble patriotic republican principles has become an empire heartless, bloody and rapacious, hated and feared in the world.

wars and invasions, bombings of civilian populations, coups, plots and political assassinations, torture in secret prisons, sabotage, terrorism, propaganda campaigns and money to destabilize governments, fabrications to justify the occupation of countries rich in oil, gas and other minerals, food and medicine blockades to submit the sovereignty and dignity of small and weak nations, and above all, his unbridled spirit of plunder, make U.S. odious symbol of derision in the law of nations. How far is now home of the noble spirit that animated the Declaration of Independence in 1776! The proclamation of Jefferson and his colleagues that "all men are created equal", was lost in the darkness of betrayal. You, sir, is something quite different to the country that the Founding Fathers dreamed. You are the head of an empire that threatens the world with their desperate quest for raw materials and energy resources to feed an economy that recognizes no other limit than the maximum gain. This irresponsibility is driving humanity to hunger and disaster. The contempt of his nation by the laws of nature threatens the existence of the planet and runs environmental solidarity rules that ensure the presence of the human couple on earth. His administration, Mr. President, has continued the U.S. policy making warmongering empire. More than one country, his is a military stronghold. Corroborates the defense budget this year to 553 billion dollars and an additional 117,800 million to support the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

You do not speak on behalf of the 155 million Americans who want a peaceful world. Much less does it for the thousands of trade unionists and young people these days have moved in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states to protest against laws that reduce pensions and wages. You speak on behalf of U.S. 400 that Michael Moore has said that "with the same amount of wealth that half of all Americans." That fat formidable and indefatigable, who has done their part to spread the reality of U.S., says: "We have delivered our precious democracy to a financial elite. Wall Street, banks and Fortune are the rulers of this republic "(1). This reality-that of capitalism, we live also in Chile. We are about 17 million a mixed population, which, however, discriminates against Indians, brown and black. Our country suffers same distortions that affect you, among other reasons because it strives to imitate. In Chile an elite in power. Its members have enormous fortunes and listed in Forbes' honor roll. Luksic Fontbona widow Iris has 19,200 million dollars. Horst Paulmann, 10,500 million, the Matte, forest owners and power plants, 10,400 million and the President of the Republic, Sebastián Piñera, his fortune increased to 2,400 million last year. This insatiable minority controls the media and private education, which educate the majority of children and young Chileans. Thus achieving the same massive deception that Moore mentioned in his speech Madison: that the poor "vote for the party that protects the rich because 'you could be one day one of them'." The social support of the ruling elite in Chile is a supposed middle class, alienated by consumerism and balances on the credit card. This makes it easy access to automobiles, home appliances, phones, travel and entertainment whose profusion to create the illusion of an egalitarian society. Hiding behind the curtain three and a half million poor and destitute, and nearly 700 000 young people who neither study nor work. A considerable proportion of the population are prisoners of the drug. Chile, as you know, is one of the ten most unequal countries in the world. As you can see, Mr. President, Chile will feel at home. In a way, be perceived if the thick wall of security permits, "our country is a crude imitation of you. But you are the rule and we the colony. The economic and social model imposed on us by the military state terrorism and businessmen in league with multinational corporations, was the top prize of U.S. intervention. The oligarchy that helped spark the coup is the same as that now governs the country. It has not stopped it at any time for almost 40 years. For it has been valid regardless of military and political right and center-"left." The latter ruled for 20 years and not even ruffled the neoliberal model. By contrast, ended up transferring to the private sector of what remained in the public area. That

riffraff, Mr. President, are your friends in Chile. Be careful with them. It is unfortunate, Mr. President, you traverse the same winding road that already had their predecessors. Has not corrected the treacherous policy toward Cuba that led the ten past presidents. The blockade of the island, you know, is an unjust arbitrariness that violates the human rights of the Cuban people. It says United Nations every year, not that his country is aware of it. This is an insult and an affront to Latin America and the Caribbean because it tramples the sovereignty of a sister nation. Moreover, his government has been deaf to the global call for freedom for five Cuban prisoners in U.S. defendants to prevent terrorist actions against Cuba was brewing. The belligerent attitude of his government in Venezuela is another embarrassing fact of imperial policy. His attempts to destabilize the government of President Hugo Chavez repeated the same pattern of foreign intervention that lived in Chile in 1973 and Honduras in 2009. You seem not to understand that in Latin America and the Caribbean has been reborn a current social and political demand participatory democracy, justice and equality. It is a movement of people tired of fictions democratic to the extent of oligarchic interests. His upper-demand, is always unity and integration of Latin America and the Caribbean.

That's what Hugo Chavez is the Venezuelan people and the poor and excluded the continent. The Bolivarian Revolution has a line of continuity of two centuries the Latin American and Caribbean political history. Comes from the liberators who challenged and defeated the colonial power, including our Bernardo O'Higgins proclaimed "better to die standing than live on your knees." That was the fighting spirit of the chiefs and indigenous and mestizo soldiers early struggles for independence. It's the same spirit that was reborn in Fidel Castro and Salvador Allende, and now runs through the plains of Venezuela and the jungles and mountains of Ecuador and Bolivia. In 1960 a great American, the sociologist C. Wright Mills, Listen Yankee wrote. The Cuban Revolution. It was an attempt to understand U.S. this historic event. But the U.S. did not listen. Would you pay attention to brave Americans like Noam Chomsky, James Petras, Michael Moore and many other intellectuals, artists, filmmakers, religious ministers, scientists, trade unionists, etc., Which honestly address his nation awakens to the reality. If you attend these voices, understand why the classic shouting "Yankee go home "the American president will continue listening to the doomsday of imperialism. Yours sincerely, Manuel Cabieses

Mistral was in many ways a forward to changes and approaches that now seem natural indispensable and often urgent. Essential Christian spirituality was defined as a supporter of transformations profound: the need for land reform, real Americanism, respect for indigenous people and mestizos, the love of children and the oppressed. Issue was concerned about the education and culture to serve the people.

should try to know her better, beyond convention and darkness.

Their sense of belonging to the pop world was undeniable. In a letter to a Mexican friend confided: "... I owe to the generous protection aristocracy: its defense when she campaigned against my appointment to a high school, but the class in which I am, I hope that the more I love and heart is the working class. "

had a clear opinion about the place that should be of recognized workers in society. When in 1925 he was invited to participate in the National Women's Council conditioned its acceptance tasty that it involved the workers' societies, so that they reflect the reality of social classes in Chile: "The working class can not be less than half representatives at a meeting either, covering half our territory, as our guts and bones. The other classes are a kind of golden skin that covers it. "

A stance that added other elements of identity that were completed, as the essential quality of villagers, the small valley cut in the aridity of the hills where he was born and spent his early years, near La Serena. "We the people of this area of \u200b\u200bElqui, miners or farmers at the same time. In the valley, the man took upon himself the mine, because the mountains surrounding us everywhere and no way to ignore it: the woman worked in the valley. Before feminism village and legal reforms, fifty years before, we've been there in a mountain cliffs of the work of women become customary. Water girl I've seen women at midnight in our clear night, the vineyard and the orchard, I have seen him do completely the harvest, I have worked with them in the so-called 'stripping peach 'before the machine stoner; have done their syrups, its Uvat and endless sweets taken from the beautiful English family business. "

Martí footprint in

Through the eyes and the memory of his village, Gabriela could imagine and try to understand the world. His deep roots in Latin America was beyond particularism and political definitions. Speaking to the board of the Pan American Union in Washington, in 1946, shortly after "Stockholm that," as sometimes to refer to the Nobel Prize, said, "I am not a patriot nor a Pan Am drugging with greatness of continent. I've known him almost entirely from Canada to Tierra del Fuego, I have eaten at the best and the worst tables I have scattered in the flesh itself a kind of continental limo. And I dare say, without fear of looking like a phenomenon, poverty in Central America as important as the Indian fueguino and black nudity of any tropical song to me as tropical burning them. " Gabriela

followed the trail of José Martí in Our America and the vision of Francisco Bilbao, who saw the future of Latin America as a land of promise for humanity united, democratic and committed to the ideals liberators. Gabriela claimed authenticity and not copy, imitation and originality and not see that one of the main risks was in the U.S.. Ardently supported the struggle against the American invaders Sandino of Nicaragua and even called the young Latin Americans to defend with arms the hopeless cause for the infinite disproportion between the adversaries, which Sandino and his "crazy little army" had only with his courage to fight for dignity and justice.

In 1922, Gabriela published The cry, which can be viewed as a compendium of ideas in Latin America, which imagines the continent as a great hope: "America and only America. What intoxication such a future, What future, what vast kingdom for greater freedom and excellence! ". The overwhelmed by financial and industrial power the United States, for its power and influence. It is not derived from a hatred of Americans but rather a reproach to our own carelessness and weakness. "I hate the Yankee? No! We are winning, we are rolling our fault, our languor torrid our Indian fatalism. We are breaking apart at the hands of some of its virtues and vices of our race. Why do you hate them? We hate what in us makes us vulnerable to the steel pin and gold to his will and his wealth. " When finished, call to direct all activities towards the unification of America, motivated by "the language that God gave him and the pain that gives the North."

Latin American Unity

His belief in the need and urgency for the unity of Latin America has not abandoned her. And it was more specific: "We must unify our homelands in the interior, through an education that is transmuted into national consciousness and distribution of welfare that we become absolute balance, and we must unite our countries into a rhythm addressed a Pythagorean bit, thanks to which these twenty areas without shock move freely and also works a beauty ... We ambition is still obscure and confusing, but that comes rolling down the stream from the Platonic archetypes through feverish face and suffered from Bolivar where we utopia come true square edge. "

From adolescence, Gabriela Mistral had social concerns that were heightened by reading, research and contact with the reality of public education. After the stay in Mexico was decisive. Joaquín Edwards Bello remembers in Paris on official business, "absorbed dreamed of democracy, land distribution, with the fate of Puerto Rico and Nicaragua." And just one of the texts to support the exploits of Sandino, Gabriela wrote: "... convincing me that I walk by America giddy days when women say no, but children also have to have to talk politics, because it would be (evil policy) the delivery of the wealth of our peoples The estates of clenched fists that prevents saving a decent and division of the land, the old school does not give jobs to poor children and gives the average professional specialty, the old pure sour Jacobinism that denies freedom of religion who know civilized countries, foreign influences and with absolute shamelessness naked before our rulers. "

His stay in Mexico, among 1922 and 1924, invited by the Minister of Education, Jose Vasconcelos, and where he returned many times, changed his life. The distribution of land became a permanent concerns. Landlordism was understood that a central problem for Latin America, long before it was put in the center of the political agenda. In 1954, when he came second and last time in Chile, asked about the progress of land reform, without knowing (or knowing) that was not among the concerns of the government headed by Carlos Ibanez del Campo. In Mexico also was an increased awareness of the situation to the detriment of indigenous and mestizo character of the continent, stresses in his work, from a sort of revelation that appears on their known lines: "In the field of Mitla, a day of cicadas, the sun, run / I bent down a well and wine / an Indian to hold me over water / and my head as a result was within his palms. / drank what I drank / was your face with my face / and in a flash I knew / meat Mitla be my caste. " In the "Hymns" of his book Tala has been even a replacement of the Judeo-Christian roots of his work by Indian mysticism, which are the Sun, the Earth Cordillera and divinities. Report of fascism



Gabriela and was twenty-six When the First World War in Europe, a previously unimaginable carnage. Lived after the time of the great revolutionary wave that began in 1917 Russian revolution, the capitalist counter-marked by fascism in Italy, Portugal and Romania, since early 1930, the unstoppable rise of Hitler and the Nazis in Germany. Gabriela Mistral was among the first who warned the fascist danger. At some point refused to be consul in an Italian city while Mussolini ruled. In the English civil war supported the Republican cause and donated to the Basque children, displaced by the attack of the fascists, the copyright of his book Tala. In a Paul eulogy of Torriente, Cuban communist youth volunteer in the English Republican troops, killed in combat, which emphasizes the heroism and generosity, and concluded that his death be in vain "if this satanic world iron beast color color pardinegro they want us dissolves like a nightmare before curdling. " Franco detested and never again set foot on English soil. Those were times of social upheaval and political monster that spread to Asia and Africa and not left unscathed in Latin America.

World War II, the Holocaust, concentration camps and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were aware of the term of an era, and the dawning of new hope and the threat of enormous danger. After the war, the cause of peace became crucial. The threat of a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union by the United States became a real threat denounced by intellectuals, scientists and artists who accused Western propaganda tools of the communism. Gabriela Mistral contributed to "curse word", a text that was known throughout the world: "There are words that speak louder suppressed precisely because of the flushing and exile and the 'peace' is jumping to the people who are deaf or distracted because after all, Christians astray from all branches, from Catholic to Quaker soon have to remember as the ravings of more insistent that the word in the Gospels is it precisely that word crossed out in the newspapers, the word stuck in a corner, this monosyllable us is barred like a dirty word. Is the word for excellence and that, repeatedly, a presence in the sacred Scriptures as an obsession. We must continue vocéandola day to day, so that some of the divine commission afloat even as a poor cork on the prevailing paganism ... Digásmola each day where we are, where we go, until it takes the body and create a 'peace activism 'which fill the air thick and dirty and be cleansed. "

"A huge revolutionary"

Gabriela was, wrote the painter Roberto Matta, "a huge revolution in the human sense of the term." It was not Marxist or less anarchist, but did not object to the profound transformations. Much praised highly critical of communism and others, such as anti-religious policy and the measures that threatened the family. He denounced the Soviet invasion of Finland in 1939 and supported the peace policy of the USSR during the second postwar period. Likewise rejected the anti-Communist policy of Gonzalez Videla in Chile.

Was close to the main Social Christian leaders such as Eduardo Frei and Radomiro Tomic, who was a friend and godmother, but it is doubtful that had been defined as a Democrat. She wished a church to serve the poor and once was defined as an individual community, meaning he was not opposed to the collective work and community and an equitable distribution of wealth with respect immovable by the individual, their uniqueness and their right to govern its decisions. He wanted, he asserted, to keep "the greatest amount of individuality in a collectivist rule." Its rationale was basically ethical and Christian, in a unique religious, Catholic initially, then Buddhist and theosophical leanings, to return to Catholicism marked by the permanent initial reading of the Bible and admiration for St. Francis of Assisi. As Clotaire Blest, in his last days Gabriela was Secular Franciscan Order Minor.

reflection of Gabriela Mistral, for over sixty years on the youth deserves to be remembered: "Look for today's youth about these things: a social order in which class differences do not continue to correspond to the name and money but the proven ability of the trade or profession, ie the actual values. All of them want to eliminate the scourge of poverty that has been blight on the noble face of the Latin. Everyone wants that the work is not a matter of chance and pain, disordered chance of overexertion. And if you wanted to see on these youths the crust of a crass materialism which did not show the above, the truth is that she is looking for a new spirituality. "
