Overstepping
*
*Not only are American politics corrupt but even their show of manners have become more so continuously, as they no longer bother to hide what they really are. A nation with no respect for anything. They have kicked out a Cuban delegation staying at one of their hotels in Mexico. Just behind the fact they are Cuban. And the fact that fear of what Cuba represents has caused a hatred for them that is acted out for financial gain and power. Such prejudice reflects the whole of the nation and why there is constant turmoil with all the conflicting races and types gathered in it, and is a tool of their wars to gain support for government. There are countries that think they can mock and disrespect and abuse those they feel their inferiors, but these countries will pay for it, dearly.

Two more articles today from El Universal in Mexico City, on their front page: Gov´t Examining Options and Protestors block Entrance to Sheraton . "Mexico City Mayor Alejandro Encinas told reporters Tuesday the incident was "a clear case of discrimination that we can´t accept." "Jesus Escamilla, of the Mexican Movement in Solidarity with Cuba, said the Mexican people will "defend their nation´s sovereignty, and impede the application of U.S. laws in Mexican territory. The only laws that apply in Mexican territory are Mexican and we will decide who we receive and who we don´t."

Granma International from Cuba has a revealing article about it also: "Marcela Gonzalez Salas, president of the Chamber of Deputies, affirmed last night that evicting the Cubans on the basis of a U.S. law is totally shameful and asked for the Sheraton to be sanctioned. "I believe that this business of having U.S. legislation in Mexico and applying extraterritorial law is absolutely inconceivable and unacceptable," she stressed. "In Mexico we have to do something because this cannot go unpunished. Just think what we are coming to when a U.S. company can tell us who we can receive and not receive in our country."

From Prensa Latina this article: "Members of the Mexican Movement of Solidarity with Cuba appeared in front of the building and closed it symbolically for two hours, during a protest. Closed down, for being servile to the US imperialism and hurt the national sovereignty, read one of the banners. "

A very interesting view of what is behind the reason for Americas actions from the Taipei Times: "Some of the largest US oil companies, including Exxon Mobil and Valero Energy, were meeting with Cuban officials on what was thought to be neutral ground in the cradle of Mexican capitalism, a short stroll on Paseo de la Reforma from a Starbucks, the US embassy and Mexico's stock exchange. The oil-importing Port of Corpus Christi and US shipping and oilfield equipment companies also sent representatives. Cuba's proven oil reserves of 750 million barrels exceed those of Sudan, an African nation that has lured large non-American investments to its oil industry despite US economic sanctions in place since 1997."
