Cuba's Heroic Hurricane Relief
The Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) expresses its militant support for the efforts the Cuban people and state are carrying out to overcome the severe damage caused to the island by Hurricane Gustav, especially to the provinces of Pinar del Rio and the Isle of Youth.
Thanks to the resolve of the Cuban revolutionary project, not a single life was lost in Cuba and the people's needs are a priority. Under all conditions and circumstances the Cuban state organizes to put its full weight behind organized efforts to provide the needs of the people with a guarantee.
Cuba always organizes to provide for its people on the basis of its own efforts and it self-sacrificingly provides tremendous support for the peoples of other countries in their time of need. All those who are able to contribute financially to assist Cuba in repleting its reserves to overcome the damage of Hurricane Gustav and prepare for other possible hurricanes presently forming over the Atlantic are encouraged to do so.
TML will shortly publish information where the financial donations can be sent.
Recuperation Phase
Tackling the Damage Caused by Gustav Is a Task for the Whole of Cuba
 September 1, 2008: Cuban students begin the
school year despite the effects of Hurricane Gustav. Across Cuba, while
the
emphasis was clearly on recovery operations following the hurricane in
the western region, educational centers in the central and eastern
parts of the island opened their doors so that students could offer
their contribution to the social effort: by gaining an education.

Given the substantial damage caused in Pinar del Río and the Isle of Youth, it is the task of the whole nation to assist with the recovery from Hurricane Gustav, stated José Ramón Machado Ventura, first vice president of the Councils of State and Ministers of Cuba.
In a meeting with the City of Havana's Provincial Defense Council, the member of the Political Bureau of the Party called on the Cuban population to demonstrate their spirit of solidarity with Pinar del Río and the Isle of Youth.
After emphasizing that we have to be ready and willing to support these territories, he acknowledged the speed, well-designed preparations and training of the capital's Provincial Defense Council in approaching the situation.

He mentioned the fact that on occasions, due to a meteorological phenomenon such as this, the City of Havana has been left without electricity for up to a week and estimated that the power problem would be resolved by September 2 at the latest.
Esteban Lazo Hernández, likewise member of the Political Bureau, stated that the capital has demonstrated its organization, precaution and experience with respect to the measures adopted to withstand the effects, and urged the population to maintain itself active at all times and not allow our strength to wane.
In that sense, Pedro Sáez Montejo, president of the Provincial Defense Council in the City of Havana, confirmed the enthusiastic decision of the people and their political and mass organizations to work with the necessary speed in this Recuperation Phase.
In a statement to the press, Machado Ventura referred to the days that the country had been mobilized prior to Gustav, taking into account that it began in the eastern provinces where evacuations had taken place and the consequent associated economic cost.
He also stated that, thanks to the preventative measures -- which appear so normal to the Cuban people -- we did not lose a single human life when the powerful hurricane passed over the island.

Housing, the Greatest Challenge
A single figure illustrates the magnitude of the problem. Hurricane Gustav damaged almost as many homes in Pinar del Rio as the 14 hurricanes that have hit this province in the last eight years in their totality, Granma International reports.
Over that period, 102,000 homes in Pinar del Rio -- 45% of all housing -- were damaged to some extent. According to preliminary estimates, 90,000 were affected this time without counting the municipality of Bahía Honda, which was still cut off from communication on the evening of Monday, September 1.
The worst devastation was in the eastern half of the province, with Los Palacios in the most critical situation. According to a report from the Municipal Defense Council, 10,000 of 13,000 homes were affected, and 6,000 collapsed completely. Neighboring municipalities were in a similar situation. San Cristóbal, for example, has reported 11,000 homes damaged so far.
Teams of experts from the Ministry of Housing have been making a case-by-case assessment since Monday the 1st to get an accurate picture of the situation and what is needed for rebuilding.
Construction materials continued to arrive as did specialized teams of workers from other provinces, mostly carpenters and roofers.
Authorities ordered immediate distribution of resources to the families affected. It was also decided to give as much priority as possible to the least complicated cases to avoid lesser damage becoming larger as a result of delays.
State facilities were also severely damaged. As of the evening of the 1st, no losses had been reported of computers, televisions, VCRs or other audiovisual equipment, confirming the effectiveness of preventive measures. However, 503 schools were damaged.
"Mostly it was damage to walls and woodwork," said Angel López, provincial education director. "We have appealed to our workers to begin putting the schools into shape and to aim to start classes on the 8th."
Obviously, however, it will not be possible for the school year -- already delayed for one week -- to begin on that date in some places. The Defense Council has instructed staff at each school to evaluate their situation.
Given this complex situation, the Provincial Bureau of the Communist Party has called on the people of Pinar del Rio to take on the challenge of rebuilding their province with the same determination that has always characterized them, this time in face of a much greater phenomenon.

Relief Measures on the Isle of Youth
Cuban freighters carried food, water and other supplies to the Isle of Youth in the south of Cuba, hit by the near 220 kmph winds of hurricane Gustav. Other freighters are expected to carry supplies and generators from Havana to restore the local electrical network ravaged by the category four hurricane on the Saffir Simpson scale of five.
Ernesto Reynoso, member of the Municipal Defense Council, said recovery may take up to 15 days.
The strong winds also affected Nueva Gerona airport but communications are kept, among other things, through mobile phones and monitoring technology, and they work hard to restore services.
To achieve stability at soon as possible, several brigades from Ciego de Avila and Camaguey, among other provinces, work hard to restore electrical services.
In related news, in Camagüey, workers at the fibre asphalt shingles plant, one of its kind in Cuba, resumed production ahead of schedule due to the large number of roofs destroyed by Hurricane Gustav in western Cuba. The plant is already delivering State Reserve-controlled pieces to Pinar del Rio province, director of the plant Alexis Batan told Cuban News Agency on September 2. The plant usually starts production on the 10th day of the month, but in view of heavy damages caused by the hurricane, all workers were called to work earlier. Their response: start on Wednesday in order to produce 180,000 pieces in September, or about 45,000 above the target set for this month, said Batan.

Not One Life Lost
The direct impact of the powerful Hurricane Gustav, with maximum sustained winds of 240 kilometers per hour and higher gusts at 300-plus kilometers an hour caused serious damage on the Isle of Youth, and in Pinar del Río and Havana provinces, but the most important factor is that no human lives were lost.
That information was given on Sunday's radio-TV
Roundtable program, on which authorities from the national Civil
Defense and the Defense Councils of the areas affected, plus political
leaders, assessed the damage in each province and the progress of
recuperation.

Right: A high voltage tower lies on the highway after the passage of Hurricane Gustav, in Paso Real de San Diego, Pinar del Rio province, where the hurricane also passed through on August 30.
For Colonel Miguel Angel Puig, chief of the Operations Department of the Civil Defense General Staff, not having to mourn the death of one sole person once again demonstrates the firm political will of the Revolution at the hour of preserving the physical safety of every citizen in the face of natural disasters.
According to preliminary figures from Puig, only 19 people were reported with injuries, none life-threatening, while the total of number of people protected was 467,000, of whom around 61,000 were transferred to shelters. Of the evacuees, 77% live in Pinar del Río, the Isle of Youth and Havana provinces.
In relation to damage to the electricity services, Vicente La O, director of the Electric Union, said that in this sphere the greatest damage was likewise reported on the Isle of Youth and in Pinar del Río, particularly in the Los Palacios, Consolación del Sur, Bahía Honda, Candelaria and San Cristóbal municipalities, the closest to the trajectory of Gustav's center.
Los Palacios, Pinar del Rio province, August 31, 2008.
He said that 100% of the electric circuit in Pinar del Río was affected and the entire system will have be to reconstructed, hence the situation there is very complex.
In the particular case of Pinar del Río, de La O reported that 136 high tension towers had been brought down by the extremely strong winds, plus a further 12 of the 110-volt lines. He particularly highlighted the 500 emergency generators installed in this westernmost province as a back up to the basic services.
The capital was much less affected and problems were basically related to fallen trees and branches. Virtually nobody was evacuated, gas services have been virtually restored and 80% of the electric circuits were already working by the afternoon, Davíd Lahera, member of the Provincial Defense Council reported.
During the Roundtable program, contact was made with
Olga Lidia Tapia Iglesias and Ana Isa Delgado, presidents of the
Defense Councils in Pinar del Río and the Isle of Youth,
respectively. After assessing the damage left by the hurricane, they
emphasized the people's confidence in the Revolution
and the optimism of residents in those areas who have already joined
the recuperation efforts en masse.
Reflections of Comrade Fidel Castro
The Hurricane
In my last reflection of Tuesday afternoon, August 29, when Hurricane Gustav unexpectedly formed and started to threaten our country on the same day when our Olympic delegation returned, I wrote: "We are lucky to have a Revolution! It is a fact that nobody will be neglected. Our strong, forceful and farsighted Civil Defense protects our people. The growing frequency and intensity of these natural phenomena show that the climate is changing due to the actions of human beings. The current times demand ever increasing dedication, steadfastness and conscience. It doesn't matter if the opportunists and traitors also benefit without contributing anything to the safety and well-being of our people." I know the colossal efforts that the Revolution has to make after the national territory is hit by a hurricane. I could add that Cuba counts with keen and persevering scientists such as José Rubiera.
Hundreds of millions of working hours are lost in a brief period of time when the wind gusts beat directly on economic and social centers in broad areas of national territory. Interminable rains accompany these natural phenomena. Rivers overflow, sweep away anything they find in their path and flood extensive areas. Thousands of facilities that produce vegetables, milk, eggs, poultry meat and pork, as well as sophisticated irrigation systems, are seriously damaged; tens of thousands of hectares of sugar cane, grains, cereals and fruit trees ready for harvesting are lost; schools, polyclinics, entertainment and cultural centers, houses, roofs, factories, warehouses, highways and bridges are all damaged by the winds and the rain. This time those winds and rains affected all provinces to a greater or lesser degree, since the hurricane made its way via the sea in the vicinity of the southern part of the country and moved across it via the westernmost province, with a radius of 30 kilometers in its eye gale-force winds with a diameter of more than 450 kilometers.
Nothing is as devastating as the damage and destruction left behind by a hurricane. Hundreds of thousands of compatriots mobilize and work very hard during the passing of the hurricane and afterwards during the recovery stage. Reserves are reduced or depleted. Today, more than ever, the blow to food supplies is costly and significant. But this is our country; this is our rightful place in this planet, and we have to develop and defend it.
The task we have ahead requires time and expertise. The true Cuba and its noble people, which have been ready to share with others its knowledge and even part of its resources including its own blood, were not built overnight. That is why it has been an invincible adversary in confronting the powerful empire that has tested all of its weapons against our country.
But there is hardly any information to the world about Cuba's merits and its extraordinary struggle.
Two days ago, on Friday 29th, not one of the 11 cables published by the international press on Cuba referred to the hurricane that was approaching our island or the intensive efforts being made by our Civil Defense, with the generous support of millions of Cuban families led by a courageous political vanguard.
One of the cables published by the German DPA news agency read: "Popular Cuban Actor Arrives in Miami: 'I left because I got tired.'" It immediately adds that a well-known Cuban television actor, Yamil Jaled, had left Cuba for Miami to join his Cuban-American wife, according to a local newspaper.
It notes that Jaled featured in some very popular TV series, the theater and movies, including some blockbusters produced in France and Italy. Jaled graduated as an actor from the Higher Institute of Arts (ISA) in 1997 and started work as a professional actor in the Rita Montaner theater group, moving into television one year later he started to work in television.
The cable goes on to explain that he is 31 years old and profusely describes his artistic qualities and his triumphant journey through television, thus echoing a Yankee newspaper directed at media warfare and campaigns against Cuba. We Cubans could add: What a patriot! What a democrat! What a brilliant example is this man whom they are presenting as a prototype! This is how information is disseminated throughout the world information about a guy far less known and important than Hurricane Gustav.
They want to turn him into a sacred cow. Deepest convictions, which have successfully resisted the trials of time and the upheavals of life, cannot be acquired in a day. Before that, it is necessary to surmount many tendencies that we carry within us.
I do not hate other human beings, but I do hate vanity, egocentricity, selfishness, arrogance, smugness, the absence of ethics and other tendencies that human beings are born with. Only education and the example set by those who excel in their battle to be better, will triumph and influence all of us. A minimum of philosophy on the need for modesty is needed here. There are sacred cows who attempt to put our five heroes, brutally separated from their homeland and their closest relatives, on the same level with the mercenaries justly sanctioned as traitors and never subjected to personal and inhuman outrage.
What I am stating in this reflection reaffirms the conviction that I would like to convey to my compatriots, is that only just ideas defended with courage, dignity and firmness, will prevail.

Reflections of Comrade Fidel Castro
A Nuclear Strike
It is not an overstatement. This is the general expression of many compatriots. It was the impression of the Revolutionary Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Alvaro Lopez Miera, an experienced soldier, when he saw the twisted steel towers, the shattered houses and the devastation everywhere in the Isle of Youth.
"It has been a hard blow; I couldn't even imagine it," Ana Isa Delgado, the Party secretary and president of the Defense Council in that important municipality, said in a voice that was hoarse but steady and resolute. "I've never seen anything like it in the almost 50 years I've lived here!" said an astounded resident. A young soldier getting out of an amphibious vehicle shouted, "Let's demonstrate that we are ready to give our lives for the people!" In Herradura, looking at the devastation all around him, Army Corps General Leopoldo Cintra Frías shared his admiration for and amazement at the people's courage and said, "This is like seeing a nuclear explosion." He came close to seeing one in Southwest Angola, if the South African racists had decided to drop one of the seven bombs supplied them by the U.S. government on the Cuban-Angolan forces. That was a calculated risk, however, and the most convenient tactics were adopted.
Polo was accompanied by Olga Lidia Tapia, Party first secretary and president of the Provincial Defense Council, who never doubted for a second the results of the efforts and determination of her compatriots.
In all honesty, I daresay that the photos and film footage shown on national television on Sunday reminded me of the desolation I saw when I visited Hiroshima, victim of the first nuclear strike in August 1945.
With good reason, it is said that hurricanes release an enormous amount of energy, equal, perhaps, to thousands of nuclear weapons like the ones used on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It would be worthwhile for a Cuban physicist or mathematician to do the relevant calculations and make a comprehensible presentation.
Now the battle lies in feeding the hurricane's victims. The difficulty does not lie in reestablishing electricity as soon as possible. The problem in the Isle of Youth is that only two of 16 bakeries -- all equipped with electric ovens and generators -- were able to operate immediately; the buildings had been severely damaged. They needed to receive bread or crackers. The amount of roofing and other materials needed for housing at this time is enormous. And the Isle of Youth is separated from the main island by the sea. It's not enough to fill up trucks with food and material to send there directly.
Our Armed Forces have sent airfield and land and air transport specialists. Day and night, with the help of generators, planes can land on the Isle of Youth's airports. Their mission is to wage a battle for the people without wasting any resources. They will act with the same spirit in devastated areas of Pinar del Río (province). All agencies and institutions have their assigned tasks; they are all important. But goods do not come out of the blue. Sharing involves sacrifice. Let's not give ourselves the luxury of forgetting this in a few days.
Adverse events should serve to make us work more efficiently every day and for rationally and fairly using every piece of material. We must fight against our own shallowness and selfishness. One hundred million dollars signifies just nine dollars per inhabitant, and we need much more. We need 30 times, 40 times that figure just to meet our most basic needs. That effort must come from the work of our people. Nobody can do it for us.
Obviously, our capacity to disseminate news has increased and our people, who know how to read and write, are also highly educated.
Kcho, the painter, went by plane to the Isle of Youth,
his
birthplace, and sent us a letter about the high morale of his
compatriots. These are a few paragraphs:
"Dear Fidel:
"It seemed important to me, after arriving on the island and seeing with my own eyes and feeling with my body everything that was happening, to get in touch with Richard so that you could know about the terrible situation in this special municipality.
"I have no words to express the reality of what I saw yesterday in the Isle of Youth. In all my 38 years, I have never seen anything like it and the people I talked to in my province have never seen anything worse, but incredibly, their morale is still sky-high... Many have lost their homes and almost everyone's belongings, beds, mattresses, TV sets, refrigerators, etc., are ruined. Most of the population is in this situation; it is estimated that of the 25,000 homes on the island -- and this is not the final figure -- some 20,000 have been affected to some extent, and half of those 20,000 have no roofs or are totally destroyed.
"...The brigade of 52 electrical line workers from
Camagüey worked
until 3 a.m. and started work again today at 6:30 a.m. with tremendous
determination. They are expecting another group of 60-plus workers from
Holguín...
"... There are still many unresolved problems, such as houses that were destroyed by Hurricane Michelle in 2001.
"There are serious problems with food... The island is like a prison right now, precisely because it is an island, even though flights have resumed... Money has no value because there is nothing to buy and nowhere to go to buy anything.
"Human solidarity is the most important thing right now. Morale is high but that will not last forever; it will be necessary to resolve some things in the coming days. As electric power is reestablished, (it would be good to) create information points where people can gather to learn about what is going on in the country and the municipality, or just to listen to music or spend some time together.
"Right now the province is 'a theater of military operations during a truce,' where people are happy because they're still alive, and not thinking much about having lost their belongings. They are trying to save what's left and adjusting to that new situation, but as the days go by their morale may fall and they could become depressed.
"...The conditions in the hospital are subhuman, and only the determination and convictions of revolutionary men and women are making it function.
"Pineros (the people of the Isle of Youth) are revolutionary and combative and everybody is working tirelessly (patients, relatives and medical personnel). The 32 patients requiring hemodialysis -- each accompanied by a relative and nurses -- arrived in the capital yesterday at approximately 4:00 p.m. They had spent 48 hours without treatment but they were doing fine.
"The morale of the pineros is high, and they are happy with the work being done by the corresponding institutions, and by the fact that not one human life was lost in Pinar del Rio, the Isle of Youth or Matanzas.
"I think that for the Isle to return to what it was will take a lot of time with work and a lot of resources, as if it were a province, because now, everything is devastated." With his letter, he (Kcho) sent eloquent photos of the devastation. On the envelope, he drew an outline of the Isle of Youth with a Cuban flag flying.
The excellent painters who have always accompanied our battles of ideas might leave a record of this episode and encourage our people in their epic struggle.
Orfilio Pelaez in the Granma (newspaper) told us about a hurricane that hit in 1846 with a record minimum pressure of 916 hPa registered by a machine. That happened 162 years ago, when there was no radio, television, movies, Internet or many other means of communication that sometimes clash, creating chaos in our minds.
The Cuban population at that time was at least 12 times smaller. Using slave and semi-slave labor, the country exported the largest amount of sugar and coffee for a considerable part of that century. Retirement did not exist, life expectancy was much lower, and the illnesses of old age were almost unknown, as was mass education, which is so much needed for the development of so many brains and brawn. Natural resources were abundant. Hurricanes had a big impact but did not signify a national disaster. Climate change, quite far-off, was not even a subject of discussion.
In the Granma (newspaper) of today, Tuesday, the same journalist tells us about the heroic feats of our people in their battle for recuperation, and the fruits of efforts made in recent years. For his part, Rubiera, the scientist, made a detailed observation of the ruins of the Meteorology Institute facilities in Paso Real de San Diego during his tour of Pinar del Rio; he saw how the wind-measuring equipment registered 340 kilometers (per hour) when it was destroyed by strong gusts of wind. It was been announced that he will speak as part of the "Roundtable" (TV/radio program) today. He has theories about what happened.
Juan Varela, for his part, has reported on damage to the largest agricultural farm in Güira de Melena, Havana province. This farm should have produced about 140,000 tons of root vegetables, grains and green vegetables this year. As I see it, losses in work time, food products, farming and irrigation equipment, fuel and other costs, at international prices, total millions just at that enterprise.
However, the most impressive event, because of the human drama portrayed, was reported by journalist Alfonso Nacianceno and photographer Juvenal Balan: the odyssey of the five crew members of the Langostero 100 (lobster boat) from Batabanó in Havana province. These workers had been ordered back to port like all the other fishing boats, in due time. By pure chance, they were delayed. On Saturday, as the hurricane was quickly advancing, communication with them was lost. I had said in two previous reflections: "We're lucky to have a Revolution! No citizen will be abandoned to his fate." I found out the lobster boat was incommunicado on Saturday, almost at midnight. Raúl had given me news of the situation; he was confident in the fishermen's experience in dealing with storms and hurricanes. He told me that at dawn, he would send the necessary resources to find them. As soon as the weather improved, the search started; it eventually involved 36 boats, three helicopters and two planes for almost two days. There was no trace of the (lobster) boat, but they found the shipwrecked men. What they describe is incredible; whoever is familiar with the sea knows what it means to spend endless hours hanging on to an oar and then a buoy.
The revolutionary miracle happened and the fishermen were rescued.
But let's not get carried away by illusions. This hurricane has left behind 100,000 homes hit to a lesser or greater extent and the almost total loss of things needed after a tragedy, as Kcho explains in his letter.
How many safe, hurricane-proof homes does Cuba need? No less that 1.5 million houses for a total of 3.5 million families. Let's estimate what it would cost internationally for such an investment according to figures used worldwide.
A family in Europe has to pay at least $100,000, plus interest, for which they contribute $700 per month of their income for l5 years. Ten billion dollars is the approximate cost of 100,000 homes for average-size families in the developed countries, which are the ones that determine the prices of industrial and food products in the world. To this, we must add the cost of social facilities that were affected and must be rebuilt, economic facilities and those required for development.
It is only from our work, I repeat, that the resources will come. While the new generations are carrying out this task, the men and women of this country need the solidarity, courage and combativeness shown by the people of Pinar del Río and the Isle of Youth.
The empire is going through a difficult test at this time, in the second half of the year, involving its ability to deal with the difficulties brought about by its lifestyle at the expense of other peoples. Now they need a change at the wheel.
Bush and Cheney have almost been left out of the Republican campaign for being warmongers and undesirables. There is no debate about changing the system; it is about how to preserve it at a lesser cost.
Developed imperialism will end up killing everyone trying to enter its territory to become wage slaves and have something to eat. It is already doing so. The chauvinism and egotism generated by that system is huge.
We know that and we will continue developing solidarity, our greatest resource within and outside of our country.
