Public Eye

I had no idea Fidel was so long winded.

Whatever the case is in Cuba, it would be nice one day to go to Hemmingway's house there--if it has been preserved. The one in Keye West is fabulously intriguing...full of six-toed cats and clown-faced spiders.

Andy Garcia's recent movie, Lost City, is a great study in the changeover in "regimes". I hope your thought is the same is mine that there is no comparison between a kleptocracy and a 50 year "experiment" in totalitarian thought control.

Here's my long winded opinion on Star News editing --- I’m profoundly disappointed in your paean to the Black Panthers found in the Monday paper (Putting Black Panther Party in context 2/18/2008)
The blame falls not on Imani Tate who though journalistic bias was obvious, quoted from the speakers and attendees at an “academic” presentation, though then outrageously expanded upon their opinions with statements that made it sound like all of it was undisputed history. No, the fault of course is that of the SGV News editors for proofing and approving such unbalanced tripe.

Particulars? No acknowledgment that the leaders and philosophy of the Black Panthers were originally violent revolution and Marxist philosophy and their history is one not only of murder, extortion and confrontation with the “white establishment” but a sad, sordid and ironic tale of drug abuse, prison, exile, and recanting of the “struggle” by many, most famously Eldridge Cleaver. No analysis or balance was provided to any of David Hilliard’s seminar claims while even the casual reader might wonder: 1) how much of the Panthers’ Sickle Cell research foundation actually provided to treatment and cures compared to that expended by others in the black community, 2) were no other charitable, community or government programs provided breakfasts to the poor in the sixties? (That hardly seems right at all), 3) what authority said the Panthers “Oakland educational center” was a top California school, for what reasons, when and for how long??? But underneath it all is the greatest puzzle – what could possibly be the source of funding for the “good deeds”, some sources on the internet say it was extortion, others say their criminal enterprises underwrote their services, not uncommon when a gang organization with political pretension morphs into community action (ask Hamas , Hezbollah and the Sadrists??!!)

Headlines the following day in the Star News (March 19) indicate how WRONG it is to glorify such a criminal gang that evolves into a “movement”. (Front page: “Marching for Peace” by families in Monrovia against gangs, second section “Gang injunctions can work wonders!” and lastly “Oakland Editor honored” The last article involved a posthumous award, and ironically shows the shameful difference between an African American journalist who gave his life to root out truth against a violent splinter group of Black Muslims versus your gullible and agenda driven staff writer compounded by sloppy editors who seem to have no desire for excellence, balance and truthtelling in reporting.

What? you letting Chavez of the hook? End the trade embargo and you could go to Papa's house today.
