struggling for peace and the well-being of all human beings, for
every inhabitant on the planet regardless of skin color or national
origin.

Writing is a way to be useful if you believe
that our long-suffering humanity must be better, and more fully
educated, given the incredible ignorance in which we are all
enveloped, with the exception of researchers who in the sciences
seek satisfactory answers. This is a word which implies in a few
letters its immense content.
All of us in our youth heard talk at some point about Einstein, in
particular after the explosion of the atomic bombs which pulverized
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, putting an end to the cruel war between the
United States and Japan.
When those bombs were dropped, after the war unleashed by the attack
on the U.S. base at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Empire had already
been defeated. The United States, whose territory and industries
remained removed from the war, became the country with the greatest
wealth and the best weaponry on Earth, in a world torn apart, full
of death, the wounded and hungry.
The Soviet Union and China together lost more than 50 million lives,
along with enormous material damage. Almost all of the gold in the
world landed in the vaults of the United States. Today it is
estimated that the entirety of this country’s gold reserves reached
8,133.5 tons of this metal. Despite that, tearing up the Bretton
Woods accords they signed, the United States unilaterally declared
that it would not fulfill its duty to back the Troy ounce with the
value in gold of its paper money.
The measure ordered by Nixon violated the commitments made by
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. According to a large number of
experts on the subject, the foundation of a crisis was created,
which among other disasters threatens to powerfully batter the
economy of this model of a country. Meanwhile, Cuba is owed
compensation equivalent to damages, which have reached many millions
of dollars, as our country has denounced throughout our
interventions in the United Nations, with irrefutable arguments and
facts.
As has been expressed with clarity by Cuba’s Party and government,
to advance good will and peace among all the countries of this
hemisphere and the many peoples who are part of the human family,
and thus contribute to the survival of our species in the modest
place the universe has conceded us, we will never stop struggling
for peace and the well-being of all human beings, for every
inhabitant on the planet regardless of skin color or national
origin, and for the full right of all to hold a religious belief or
not.
The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food,
security, culture, science, and wellbeing, that is, the same rights
we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which
emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants
of our world, is what I wish for all. To those who share all or part
of these same ideas, or superior ones along the same lines, I thank
you, dear compatriots.
