This is my last post. I knew this post was not going to last long. We had a prior warning from our censors. I found out what I really suspected. We are in a new Dominican Republic, dominated by Islamic type censorship, where anyone who dares speak against the most corrupted government in Latin America, perhaps the world, is simply ducktaped. Here is a widely read post with an interesting subject and legitimate questions. Here is a post that helps educate our foreign friends about the shennanigans going on in this country.
Perhaps we just want people to post about our beautiful flowers, fauna and natural beauties. Post pictures of funny things like the same motorcycles carrying all kinds of weird stuff. "muy gracioso". We want to hide the ugly side. So that more foreigners keep coming to join this failed nation and make it worst. We post daily scores of the Dominican baseball league as if we were talking about the Majors.
That is why Fidel and Raul Castro want to shut down Generation Y, the brave Cuban forum, my favorite and the real free forum of the world. Because it speaks the truth about the criminal dictatorship in Cuba so heavily defended by some many ignorant Dominicans.
To Dominican posters and flagwavers of this banana republic, let me say I am more Dominican than most of you. I was born and educated here and abroad. I have lived continuously here since 1993 and spent my first 15 years of life in DR before migranting to the greatest nation on earth. I will not apologize for defending the United States of America. Every nation in this world sucks up to the great nation. They all owe to America. I know of no nationality in the world who has no tried to live the American dream. Everyone in the world wants a US passport or visa. Those who deny it are liars or too proud to admit it. This is why it is a punishment to cancel a US visa. Is it a punishment to cancel a visa for any other nation?
Dominican Republic has become a cesspool of corrupted politicians now at the mercy of drug lords and cartels. The PLD party is the most corrupted political machine this country has ever had. And it has turned this nation into an in-governable land. Our military and police are only third to Mexico's and Venezuela's military in corruption and crime.
I am tired of the excuse that there is corruption all over the world. Only that we do not deserve to be among the worst, specially hiding behind this aura of democracy. Corruption is often heavily punished in the great nations of this world. Corruption is rewarded in DR. That is the difference.
Censorship in DR is now commonplace. Leonel Fernandez has a long history of closing down programs in government TV and radio stations as well as forcing private stations to close programs that oppose him and his corrupted administration. Leonel has become the Chavez of the Caribbean. But Leonel is smarter or less candid. He hides behind this peaceful attitude and moderate behavior that fools almost half of the Dominican people. He doesn't fool me. While I detested Hipolito Mejia for his boorish behavior, at least he was upfront. And Mejia could account for some of his fortune. You see Hipolito worked for a living before he was president and politician. Leonel Fernandez hasn't worked a day in his life. Him and his wife are two window shoppers spending our tax money in vacation tours hidden as government business and bringing an entourage of "lambones" to all his "all inclusive package" vacations.
I am sorry if I offended a few here. But I simply cannot accept censorship as a way of life.
