THE BRAND AMBASSADOR STUART BECK.

In noting that the Republic of Palau, an archipelago of some 200 tiny islands in the western Pacific Ocean, maintains an apparent hostility towards the Cuban Revolution, one does not understand: the only link that could be detected between the two nations goes back to 1899 when, in consequence War of the Spanish-Cuban-American, the traumatized Spain had to get rid of the archipelago since 1886 that it intended to occupy, to be sold to Germany.

SOVEREIGNTY WITH "ASSOCIATION"

A bit of history. After the Second World War, the UN became the Palau and other islands in protected territories of the United States, whose reputation was not bad today. Palau was officially supervised until 1994 when it became a state, presumably subject to a sovereign called the Free Association.

The reader will guess: there is the trap. The agreement grants the army for 50 years Yankee free use of national territory in return for guarantees of military protection and economic aid.

The relative independence of this small nation in the Pacific was not without turbulence: Palau's first president was assassinated, the second suicide.

Palau is a very fragile nation: it has a population that barely reaches 20 000 people, divided into several indigenous groups. This is compounded by a number of residents floating Malaysians, Filipinos, Polynesians, papuana, Japanese, French, Germans and Americans.

We speak a dozen languages, dominated by the English. The country has a total of just 500 square kilometers, with only 36 kilometers of asphalt road. Runs only the dollar.

The Government of Koror, the capital of United States receive annual grants of $ 27 million, which obviously becomes a hostage of the Palau empire.

TORIBIONG TALK

There are no political parties, but some trends are marked by a political will to move away from the monster or not.

When the UN, 185 countries voted against the Yankee blockade in Palau, was carried out almost simultaneously, a presidential election that ended with the victory of the candidate pro-monster.

Toribiong Johnson won with 4 770 votes to 4 with Elias Camsek Chin 554. A fairly small margin.

Toribiong-era ambassador to Taipei, is the man in the partnership for excellence.

In an interview granted to the Pacific Magazine (the only publication that seems to be interested in your choice), the new president spoke of his foreign policy apologize to the island of Chiang Kai-Chek.

A counterflow declaring: "I support the aspiration of Taiwan to be recognized as a sovereign nation to take its full place in the international community, and sit as a full member of the United Nations."

And he continues:

"As if to support U.S. policy on Iraq, Afghanistan and North Korea, etc. (sic.), we expect the government's policy of the United States after the president-elect take their responsibilities. But at the end and After all, the international policy of Palau should be the mirror of the international policy of the United States on international security, justice, democracy and freedom. United States is our closest ally and our benefactor. "

You can not accuse the president Toribiong not speak clearly.

AN AMBASSADOR TO DOLLAR PER YEAR

The truth is that a citizen of Palau died in Iraq in September where he fought alongside 100 of their compatriots. And at the UN, the island is represented by a agentazo is that unless the CIA is the Mossad.

There is no doubt that maintaining a representation of the international institution in New York costs a lot. And this, the proposal of Stuart Beck, an attorney from Long Island, New York, married to a palauense of which had four sons working for the archipelago for a dollar a year seemed to offer of the century.

In an interview with the International Herald Tribune shortly after his appointment, Beck Palau recounted how he convinced to give their credentials in these terms.

"I told them: Look, you produce nothing, do not manufacture anything, nobody is interested in their workforce, have nothing that anyone wants, the United States already have rights of defense and military base, so all you have something is worth your vote at the UN. "

Indeed, this belief Zionist Jewish lawyer maintains that the representation of Palau to the UN with three or four officers also New Yorkers, not exactly an angel from heaven.

BOLTON, ENGAGED, achieving, diligence "

In 1994, Beck was the one who negotiated on behalf of the Palau Compact of Free Association that tied permanently low appearance of independence, the archipelago to the mainland.

This graduate of Yale University, where Bush learned so many things-now lives in Bronxville, New York, with his family and Cleo, the dog.

Anyone who has questions about their political leanings, you should read the letter published on August 4 2006 in The New York Times to protest against an editorial in this newspaper calling for the resignation of John Bolton, then the hyper fascist imperial ambassador to the UN. The same dream that with the demise of the institution of divine intervention that all leftists pulverizaría the planet.

Among other things, Beck called his partner "highly committed, diligent and achievable", which confirmed the level of understanding.

But there's more.

In this interview with the International Herald Tribune, Beck emphasized the strategic importance of Palau as a potential base for Washington in its "efforts to counter insurgencies in Indonesia and the Philippines."

It is the other part of the story.

In addition to his duties at the UN, Beck is now an ambassador of Palau to the Israeli government.

And at the UN, Palau is one of four or five countries that support Israel to religiously when it is against the wall, which happens regularly.

When it comes to punish the Palestinians, with their characteristic methods, Tel Aviv can always count on the solidarity and support of Stuart Beck.

On July 26, 2006, the Jerusalem Post headline with a commendable frankness: "Palau, the best friend of Israel at the UN."

When visiting Israel at the same time, accompanied by Beck, the then president of Palau, Tommy Esang Remengesau Jr., told his hosts: "They have two ambassadors at the UN, yours and ours."

Beck then boasted of having the best voting record in favor of the Zionist state.

Indeed, the ambassador of Palau can count on the goodness of both Israeli and American allies. Your business is so good that he left his post with the local television executive, Granite Broadcasting, which he founded and opened an office Palau outside the headquarters of the UN.

No one knows clearly what is in view of both Palau servility. In this virtual protectorate over the nation's expression of free speech, local media are almost nonexistent. And no national television. Only foreign TV stations, mostly Americans, broadcast on cable.

However, there is one subject where Stuart Beck must move away from their masters thesis: climate change. Has no other choice.

"It is the obligation of Sesguridad prevent further deterioration," said Beck in a recent UN meeting to describe the devastating impact of the phenomenon in small islands of the Pacific Ocean.

Palau, like many other small island nations in the region are threatened with extinction. Nothing less. And all because of criminal negligence in protecting the environment of the imperial power that supports the Beck against Cuba, also a victim of these changes and fervent advocates counter this disastrous situation.

The world is small, does not it?

La Habana, viernes 28 de noviembre de 2008. Año 12 / Número 331
http://www.granma.cubaweb.cu/2008/11/28/interna/artic04.html .

Un poco de historia. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la ONU convirtió a las Palau y a otras islas cercanas, en territorios tutelados de los Estados Unidos, cuya mala fama no era la de hoy. Palau se quedó oficialmente tutelada hasta 1994 cuando se convirtió en un Estado, supuestamente soberano sometido a un llamado Tratado de Libre Asociación.

No hay partidos políticos, sino algunas tendencias políticas marcadas por una voluntad de alejarse o no del monstruo.

Cuando en la ONU, 185 países votaban en contra del bloqueo yanki, en Palau —casi simultáneamente— se realizaba una elección presidencial que terminó con la victoria del candidato pro-monstruo.

Ganó Johnson Toribiong con 4 770 votos frente a Elias Camsek Chin con 4 554. Un margen bastante reducido.

Toribiong —era embajador en Taipei— es el hombre de la colaboración por excelencia.

En una entrevista otorgada al Pacific Magazine (la única publicación que parece haberse interesado en su elección), el nuevo mandatario habla de su política extranjera apologizando a la isla de Chiang Kai-Chek.

A contracorriente declara: "Apoyo la aspiración de Taiwan a ser reconocido como nación soberana, a tomar su pleno lugar en la comunidad internacional, y a sentarse como miembro pleno de las Naciones Unidas".

Y continúa:

"En cuanto a si apoyaré la política de Estados Unidos sobre Iraq, Afganistán y Corea del Norte, etcétera (sic.), debemos esperar la política del gobierno de los Estados Unidos después que el presidente electo tome sus funciones. Pero, al fin y cabo, la política internacional de Palau debe ser el espejo de la política internacional de Estados Unidos acerca de la seguridad internacional, la justicia, la democracia y la libertad. Estados Unidos es nuestro aliado más cercano y nuestro benefactor".

No se puede acusar al presidente Toribiong de no hablar con claridad.

BOLTON, "COMPROMETIDO, ALCANZABLE, DILIGENTE"

En 1994, Beck fue quien negoció a nombre de Palau el Tratado de Libre Asociación que amarró definitivamente, bajo apariencia de independencia, al archipiélago a la metrópoli.

Este diplomado de Yale —la universidad donde Bush tantas cosas aprendió— vive ahora en Bronxville, New York, con su familia y Cleo, el perro.

Quien tenga dudas sobre sus orientaciones políticas, debe leerse la carta que publicó el 4 de agosto del 2006 en The New York Times para protestar contra un editorial de este diario reclamando la renuncia de John Bolton, el entonces hyper fascista embajador imperial ante la ONU. El mismo que soñaba con la desaparición de la institución y de una intervención divina que pulverizaría a todos los izquierdistas del planeta.

Entre otras cosas, Beck calificaba a su socio de "altamente comprometido, alcanzable y diligente", lo que confirmaba el nivel de entendimiento.

Pero hay más.

En la citada entrevista con el International Herald Tribune, Beck subrayaba la importancia estratégica de Palau para Washington como base potencial en sus "esfuerzos para contrarrestar insurgencias en Indonesia y las Filipinas".

Queda la otra parte de la historia.

Además de sus funciones en la ONU, Beck es ahora también embajador de Palau ante el gobierno israelí.

Y en la ONU, Palau es uno de los cuatro o cinco países que apoyan religiosamente a Israel cuando este país se encuentra contra la pared, lo que ocurre regularmente.

Cuando se trata de reprimir a los palestinos, con sus métodos característicos, Tel Aviv siempre puede contar con el apoyo solidario de Stuart Beck.

El 26 de julio del 2006, el Jerusalem Post titulaba con una loable franqueza: "Palau, el mejor amigo de Israel en la ONU".

Al visitar Israel en ese mismo momento, acompañado por Beck, el entonces presidente de Palau, Tommy Esang Remengesau Jr., declaró a sus anfitriones: "Tienen dos embajadores en la ONU, el suyo y el nuestro".

Beck se jactó entonces de tener el mejor récord de votos a favor del estado sionista.

Por cierto, el embajador de Palau puede contar con las bondades de sus aliados tanto israelíes como norteamericanos. Tan bueno es su negocio que abandonó su puesto de ejecutivo con la televisora local, Granite Broadcasting, que fundó y abrió una oficina de Palau fuera de la propia sede de la ONU.

No se sabe claramente qué se opina en Palau de tanto servilismo. En este protectorado virtual de la nación que más habla de libre expresión, los medios locales son casi inexistentes. Ni hay televisión nacional. Solo estaciones de TV extranjeras, mayormente estadounidenses, difundidas por cable.

Sin embargo, existe un tema donde Stuart Beck debe alejarse de las tesis de sus amos: el cambio climático. No tiene otro remedio.

"Es obligación del Consejo de Sesguridad impedir que se agrave la situación", expresó Beck en una reciente reunión de la ONU al describir el devastador impacto del fenómeno en las pequeñas islas del océano Pacífico.

Palau, como muchas otras pequeñas naciones insulares de la región están amenazadas con desaparecer. Nada menos. Y todo por culpa de las criminales negligencias en materia de protección del medio ambiente del poder imperial que el propio Beck apoya en contra de Cuba, también víctima de estos mismos cambios y ferviente partidaria de contrarrestar esta desastrosa situación.

El mundo es pequeño, ¿no es cierto?
