Recently I stated that the world will soon forget the tragedy that was about to occur as a result of the policy, for more than two centuries, neighbor by the superpower USA.

We have known as sinuous and treacherous act, the impetuous economic growth achieved from technical and scientific development, the enormous wealth accumulated at the expense of the vast majority of working people and the rest of the world by a small minority that in this country and others, have and enjoy unlimited wealth.

Who are increasingly complain but the workers, professionals, serving the people, retirees, those who are unemployed, street children, those without basic skills, which constitute the vast majority of the nearly seven billion inhabitants of the planet, which visibly depleting vital resources?

How to treat calls that law enforcement should protect them?

Who hit the police, armed with all the instruments of repression possible?

I need not describe facts that people everywhere, including the United States, viewed through televisions, computers and other mass media.

A little harder is to unravel the sinister projects of those who hold in their hands the destiny of mankind, thinking foolishly that can impose such a world order.

What I wrote in the past five reflections which occupied the space of Granma and the CounterPunch? Web site between May 30 and June 10, 2010?

And basic elements of the very near future have been thrown into the flight and have no turning back. The shocking events of the World Cup in South Africa in the course of a few days, have captured our minds.

We barely have time to breathe during the six hours that are broadcast live and live on TV almost every country in the world.

Having already witnessed meetings between the most prestigious firms in just six days, and unreliable applying my views, I dare to believe that Argentina, Brazil, Germany, England and Spain is the champion of the Cup

There is not a prominent team has not shown his claws of a lion in that sport, where previously only saw people running in the broad field of door to door. Today, thanks to famous names like Maradona and Messi, who knows the feats of the first as the best player in the history of the sport and his belief that the other is equal to or better than him, I can already distinguish the role of each 11 players.

I also met these days that the new soccer ball is of variable geometry in the air, bounces faster and much more. The players themselves, beginning with the goalkeepers complain about these new features, but even the forwards and defense and also complain too much, because the ball goes faster and your whole life they learned to handle another. Are FIFA officials who decide on the matter in every World Cup.

This time they have transformed the sport, is another, though still called the same. Fans who do not know the changes in the ball-which is the soul of a great number of sports, and filling up the steps of any stage, are enjoying a great time and all accepted under the name of the glorious magic football. Even Maradona, who was the best player in their history, quietly resign itself to other athletes scored more goals, more distance, more spectacular and more aim than him in the door, and of equal size, one where its fame reached such a high chair.

In amateur baseball was different, the bats went from wood to aluminum, or of the wood, just laying down certain conditions.

The powerful U.S. professional clubs decided to apply rigid rules regarding batting and a number of traditional requirements that maintain the characteristics of the old sport. The show really took particular interest and also the enormous profits that the public and paid advertisements.

In the current maelstrom sports a unique and noble sport like volleyball that much like in our country, amid its World League, the most important tournament for this specialty each year, except for titles that are derived from first place in a Olympic competition or world championships.

On Friday and Saturday last week at the Sports City, the penultimate games were made that should take place in Cuba. Our team so far has not lost a single game. The last opponent was none other than Germany. Among his athletes was a German giant of 2.14 meters, and is an excellent finisher. It was a real feat to beat all set, except the third of the second game. The members of our team, very young guys, one of which is only 16 years showed a surprising resilience. The current champion of Europe is Poland, and the German team was victorious in both games he had against that team. Prior to these successes, no one knew that the team of Cuba would be back among the best in the world.

Unfortunately, on the other hand, the way the political sphere is saturated with high risks.

One issue that I noted earlier, among the basic elements of the very near future thrown into the flight, with no retreat and possible collapse of Cheonan is the flagship of South Korean navy sank March 26 in a matter of minutes, killing 46 sailors and wounded dozens.

The South Korean government ordered an investigation to determine whether the failure was due to an internal or external explosion. Finding that came from abroad, Pyongyang accused the government of the sinking of the ship. North Korea had only one old model of Soviet-made torpedo. Devoid of any other element except the logic simpler. I could not even imagine otherwise.

Last March, as a first step, the South Korean government ordered the activation of the propaganda speakers in 11 points in the demilitarized common border separating the two Koreas.

The high command of the Armed Forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, meanwhile, said it would destroy the speakers as soon as you begin this activity. It had been suspended since 2004. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea stated verbatim that would make Seoul into a "sea of fire."

Last Friday, the South Korean Army announced that begin as soon as the Security Council announced its measures for the sinking of Cheonan South Korea. Both republics are Korean and the finger on the trigger.

The government of South Korea could not imagine that his close ally, the United States had placed a mine in the bottom of Cheonan, as he wrote in an article by investigative journalist Wayne Madsen published by Global Research on 1 June 2010, with an explanation consistent of what happened. It is based on the fact that North Korea does not possess any type of rocket or any instrument to sink Cheonan, which could not be detected by sophisticated submarine hunting teams.

North Korea had been accused of something that was not performed, which determined the urgent trip to Kim Jong Il to China in an armored train.

When these events occur suddenly in the mind of the South Korean government had not, nor is there room for another possible cause.

Amidst the sports environment and cheerful, the sky darkens more and more.

The U.S. intentions are obvious for some time, as your government acts required for their own purposes without alternatives.

Its purpose-accustomed to the imposition of their designs by force, "is that Israel attack the production of enriched uranium facilities in Iran, using the most modern aircraft and the sophisticated weaponry that provides you with the superpower irresponsibly. This suggested to Israel, which has no borders with Iran, Saudi Arabia's request for permission to fly a long, narrow air corridor, significantly shortening the distance between the starting point of attacking aircraft and aims to destroy.

Under the plan, that essential parts has been released by the Israeli Intelligence, waves of attack planes and again to crush the objectives.

On Saturday June 12, major newspapers published the news on Western an air corridor granted by Saudi Arabia to Israel, in agreement with the U.S. State Department, with the objective of flight testing with the fighter-bombers to attack Israel surprise to Iran, and these were carried out in Saudi airspace.

Israeli spokesmen denied anything, limited only to declare that these countries feel more fear for the Iranian nuclear development and Israel itself.

On 13 June, when the London Times published an information drawn from intelligence sources, reported that Saudi Arabia securing an agreement which grants permission to Israel to pass through an air corridor over its territory for attacking Iran, President Ahmadinejad said, upon receiving the credentials of the new Saudi Ambassador to Tehran Mohammad ibn Abbas al Kalabi, who had many enemies who did not want close relations between both countries, "... But if Iran and Saudi Arabia remain next to each other, these enemies give up continuing the aggression .... "

From the Iranian point of view, in my opinion, these statements were justified, whatever their reasons for doing so. May not want to hurt at all its Arab neighbors.

The Yankees have not said a word, only to reflect more than ever burning desire to sweep the Nationalist government led by Iran.

You have to ask now when the Security Council will discuss the collapse of Cheonan, which was the flagship of the South Korean Navy, what behavior will continue after the fingers on the triggers of the weapons on the Korean peninsula the shoot, if it is true or not Saudi Arabia, according to the Department of State authorized an air corridor for the waves of modern Israeli bombers attack the Iranian facilities, allowing even the use of nuclear weapons supplied by the United States.

Between games of the World Cup, the evil news van sliding slowly, so nobody care for them.

On Tuesday 8 June, I wrote the Reflection "On the eve of the tragedy" at noon, later saw the TV program "Mesa Redonda" Randy Alonso, who is reported as standard at 6 and 30 pm

That day, prominent and prestigious Cuban intellectuals who participated in the Bureau, to the sharp questions from the director, responded with eloquent words greatly respected my opinions, but they did not believe that Iran would have reason to reject the possible decision-familiar- be taken by the Security Council on the morning of June 9 in New York, no doubt agreed between the leaders of the five veto-wielding powers: U.S., Britain and France, with Russia and China.

At that moment, I said people close to me often accompany "How I regret not having finished my reflection saying that no one wanted more than I could be wrong", but it was too late, could not delay its submission to CounterPunch? and the Web site Granma daily.

The next day, at 10 am, knowing that this was the time of the meeting, I decided to tune to CNN in Spanish, which would surely news of the debate in the Security Council. And I could hear the words with which President of the Council presented a draft resolution, sponsored by the U.S. days before, supported by France, Britain and Germany.

They also spoke several representatives of the key members involved in the project. The U.S. representative explained why his country approve, under the usual pretext to punish Iran for violating the principles of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. In turn, the representative of Turkey, one of whose ships was the victim of brutal attack by the elite forces of Israel, transported by helicopters stormed at dawn on May 31 the flotilla carrying food for the million and half Palestinians under siege a fragment of his own homeland, said his government intends to oppose new sanctions on Iran.

CNN, in the space available for news, presented several images of hands as visible gestures expressing their position, including that of the representative of Lebanon, a country he would abstain during the vote.

The serene presence of members of the Security Council who voted against the resolution was expressed with a strong right hand woman, the representative of Brazil, who had earlier set a tone sure the reasons why his country was opposed the agreement.

There is still a world of news on the subject; tuned Telesur, which satisfied the countless hours of information needed.

President Lula da Silva said in the city of Natal, northeast of the country, two lapidary sentences, that approved the sanctions were imposed by "those who believe in force and not dialogue," and that the meeting of the Security Council " might have served to discuss the disarmament of those atomic weapons. "

Would not strange that both Israel and the United States and its close allies with the right of veto in the Security Council, France and Britain, want to harness the enormous interest in the World Cup to appease international opinion, outraged by criminal conduct of the Israeli elite troops against the Gaza Strip.

It is therefore very likely that the blow to dilate a few weeks, and even be forgotten by most people in the hottest days of summer. It should be noted the cynicism with which Israeli leaders meet press interviews in the coming days, where they will be bombarded with questions. Fittingly, they will raise the rigor of his demands before pulling the trigger. They yearn to repeat the history of Mossadegh in 1953, or to refer Iran to the stone age, a threat like the powerful empire in its dealings with Pakistan.

Hatred of Israel against the Palestinians is such that it would not hesitate to send a million and a half men, women and children from that country to the crematoriums where the Nazis exterminated millions of Jews of all ages.

The swastika of Hitler seems to be the flag of Israel today. No hatred born of this view, but the feeling of a country expressed solidarity and provided shelter to the Jews when the hard days of World War II, the government tried proyanki Batista from Cuba to send back a ship loaded with them , escaping from France, Belgium and the Netherlands, because of Nazi persecution.

I met many members of the large Jewish community based in Cuba when the revolution triumphed, I visited and talked to them several times. I never drive out of our country. The differences with many of them came because of the revolutionary laws affecting economic interests and, secondly, the consumer society attracted many compared to the sacrifices involved the Revolution. Others remained in our country, and provided valuable services to Cuba.

A new and gloomy stage opens to the world.

Yesterday, at 12 and 44 p.m. Obama spoke on the agreement of the Security Council.

Here are some notes on what the President said, taken from CNN in Spanish.

"Today, the Security Council of the UN voted overwhelmingly in favor of sanctions against Iran for its repeated breaches ..."

"This resolution is the strongest sanction faced by the Iranian government and sends a clear message about the commitment of the international community to curb the spread of nuclear weapons."

"For years, Iran has fulfilled its obligations set out under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty."

"While Iran's leaders are hiding behind rhetoric, their actions are committed."

"In fact, when I took 16 months ago, Iranian intransigence was strong."

"We offered him a better future prospects whether it met its international obligations."

"There is no double standard."

"Iran has violated its obligations under Security Council resolutions to stop enriching uranium."

"Therefore, these measures so severe."

"It is stricter than Iran has ever faced."

"This shows that shared vision in the Middle East to anyone should not develop these weapons."

I selected these sentences of his brief speech are enough to show how feeble, weak and unjustifiable policy is powerful empire.

Obama himself admitted in his speech at the Islamic University of Al-Azhar? in Cairo that "In the midst of the Cold War, the United States played a role in the overthrow of a democratically elected Iranian government," but did not say when or how purposes. You may not even remember how he carried out against Mossadegh in 1953, to install the government in the dynasty of Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, which armed to the teeth, as their main gendarme in the Middle East region , where the satrap accumulated an immense fortune, derived from the oil wealth of that country.

At that time the State of Israel did not possess a single nuclear weapon. The empire had a huge and irresistible nuclear power. It was then that the United States came up with the adventurous idea of creating in Israel a gendarme in the Middle East, which now threatens a significant portion of world population and is able to act with independence and fanaticism that characterize it.

Since March 26, neither Obama nor the President of South Korea have been able to explain what really happened to the flagship of the South Korean Navy, the ultra-modern submarine hunting Cheonan, who participated in a manoeuvring States Navy United States west of the Korean Peninsula, close to the limits of the two republics, causing 46 dead and dozens injured.

What an embarrassment to the rule is that your partner know from reliable sources that the ship was sunk by the U.S.. There is no way around that fact that accompany them like a shadow.

Elsewhere in the world the circumstances evenly to much more dangerous events in East Asia and can not fail to happen, without the super rule takes the form of help.

Israel would refrain from activate and use, with total independence, considerable nuclear power created by the U.S. in that country. To think otherwise is to ignore reality.

Another very serious matter that the UN is not any form of changing the course of events and soon arch-governing Israel collide with the unyielding resistance of Iran, a nation of 70 million people and known religious traditions insolent threats will not accept any adversary.

In two words: Iran will not bow to threats from Israel.

The inhabitants of the world, of course, increasingly enjoy major sporting events, those related to recreation, culture and others at their leisure limited space in the middle of the duties that they occupy much of his time spent to daily chores.

In coming days, the World Cup to be held in South Africa snatch them every free hour of your time. With growing excitement will follow the vicissitudes of the best known. Observe every step of Maradona and will not fail to remember the moment of spectacular goal that decided the victory for Argentina on one of the classics. Yet another Argentine is outperforming dramatically short, but quick, shown as ray and legs or head shoot the ball at unusual speed. Your name: Messi, of Italian origin, is already known and repeated by all fans.

The imagination of these is taken to delirium when they images of the many arenas where competitions take place. Designers and architects have created works ever dreamed of by the public.

A government, living from one meeting to fulfil the obligations that the new era has placed on his shoulders, can reach them no time to meet the mountain of television news, radio and newspapers constantly reported.

Almost everything depends solely on the information they send their advisers. Some of the most powerful and important Heads of State key decision makers, tend to use cell phones to communicate with each other several times daily. A growing number of millions of people worldwide live attached to these small team and no one knows what effect it will have on human health. Dilute the envy that we should have not have enjoyed these possibilities in our time, which in turn rapidly away in a few years and almost without realizing it.

Yesterday was published in the maelstrom, possibly today the Security Council could vote on a UN resolution pending to decide whether to impose a fourth round of sanctions on Iran for refusing to stop enriching uranium.

The irony of this situation is that if it were Israel, the U.S. and its closest allies say at once that Israel did not sign the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty and would veto the resolution.

However, if simply accuses Iran to produce uranium enriched to 20 percent, he immediately asked to apply economic sanctions to strangle him and it is obvious that Israel would act as always, with fascist fanaticism, as did the soldiers elite troops fired from helicopters in the early morning hours on travelling in the joint fleet, carrying food to the besieged population in Gaza killing several people and wounding dozens who were later arrested along with the crews of the vessels.

It is obvious that seek to destroy the facility where Iran enriches uranium part of the produce. It is also obvious that Iran will not resign before this unequal treatment.

The consequences of U.S. imperial entanglements could be catastrophic and affect all inhabitants of the planet, more than any economic crisis together.
