We just all to see in the real estate crisis in the U.S. and Europe, where many saw the easy way to make money without measuring the consequences of national and global level would generate. Such behavior is the norm, then the military ... Raulistas traders, known by the corporate conglomerate GAESA, feeling with hands free, then who had managed to remove Fidel Castro from power, would not act differently.
Indeed, since Fidel Castro came months before trying hard to regain control of the entire economy in Cuba, in the midst of his crusade for economic re-centralization, limited drastically Central Bank loans to these military Raulistas dealers, allowing a maximum of $ 10,000 loans. That, and nothing is the same for monopoly and GAESA. We can see in his own words:
( "Fidel Castro, 17 Nov 2005" ... We had to argue a lot, not going to believe that the directors of our companies have a habit of discipline. And not everyone can be happy, I warn you, and I warn them, too, because this will be a tough fight. No one has protested, but there were 3 000 people operating currencies and decided the gains, the use in this or that, if I paint, if I buy a better cart and not the old cacharrito we have. Three thousand, and we realized that conditions in this country that had to be overcome. There was a meeting with the principal (initeligible) changed.
If you are in a war and have many bullets does not care if the guns shoot more or less, if you have a few bullets, that was what was happening to us always in war, we had to know every rifle bullets and up the type of bullets, though they were the same size, because some worked better, others fouled, and sometimes we had to prohibit shooting, shooting only if you come to take the trench. There is nothing more terrible than an automatic weapon firing. So we us.
The banks, we have excellent banking institutions. Resources currently allocated to all expenditure of the country, are administered by banks, delivered according to the established program, and no bank manager is going to lunch with the representative of a powerful company, and never invite him to a restaurant, or invite him to go to Europe and staying with the owner, because, after all, some of our officials were guests of millions, and buyers of millions and the art of corrupting capitalists who have more subtle than a snake and sometimes worse than mice, anesthetized as they bite and are able to snatch a piece to someone at night, thus starting the Revolution came, the numbing went. And there have been not a few, and everybody knows it, because they saw the standard of living, this changed the cart, painted it, put it, or put some bandages because it became pretty vain, twenty times have we heard by Here, There, and must be taken here or there, but that was not resolved.

Well of course, lest anyone be confused. Okay, but what happened in the handling banking, recently Fidel Castro from power?.
Raulistas were released as the straitjacket that banking firms that Fidel Castro had imposed earlier this year. They could obtain credit without limit, according to the comparison of Fidel Castro, and could use their machine guns GAESA financial. Also ousted the Fidelistas, ministers and directors of banks, the military free track Raulistas merchants, capitalists and merchants in the recent real estate bubble in the United States.
( "Havana. Reuters. 26 March 2009" Cuban President Raúl Castro, easing government controls on how companies spend their currencies at the first sign of changes in the local economy following the recent cabinet reshuffle, said Entrepreneurs and economists this week.
Cuban and foreign sources based in the island said the authorities had finished the regulation that requires the Central Bank for approval of all expenditures of state enterprises that exceed more than $ 10,000.
...
Central Bank analysts said the adoption of the resolution and completion dates to the years 2003 and 2004 when the government, then led by Fidel Castro, he instituted a rigid centralization of the economy after previously allowed greater autonomy for state enterprises in the 1990s to address the crisis left by the Soviet Union.
"This means less bureaucracy, less central control, more authority and responsibility in the hands of business managers," said Phil Peters of the Lexington Institute in Virginia, who has studied the trade issue of the Cuban state.

What has been the result?.
The freezing of all funds of foreign investors in Cuba can not derive profits, the Cuban banking is bankrupt.
(Hundreds of foreign firms in the Caribbean island without taking months to transfer balances held at the Cuban bank accounts in countries of origin. In total, the Cuban playpen could exceed $ 800 million, according to sources.

Apparently the warning that Fidel Castro will make the military Raulistas traders took it seriously either, which ended removing it from power.

Consequences (1) - Goodbye to the beans and the Energy Revolution.
I was fortunate recently talking with a Communist Cuban living in Cuba. I was interested to know that Raúl Castro's thinking about politics that Fidel Castro had traced to the Revolution before being removed from power.
He said that Raul had slowed the changes that had begun Fidel. This of course surprised me is that from the viewpoint of an exile is noticeable a timid attempt at change of Raul, but it had been, only expectations.
I gave myself the task of trying to understand, because this community had that perception. Searching, I found a speech that brought communist ideologues as a major speech by Fidel defining important principles of Socialism. The speech (which can be found on youtube) is in the Aula Magna of the University of Havana, on 17 November 2005 to 8 months to remove him from power.
For in this speech, boring as always, Fidel gives much information of what they were doing and would do in Cuba to rescue its former Soviet honeymoon, but now Bolivarian. I will now only to the energy revolution and the improvement of feeding the people in general.
Fidel was saving electricity primarily in the following words: if you have 3 light bulbs at home, because Fidel is the change of three energy saving light bulbs, which have an old refrigerator, I changed to a new, Chinese, much cheaper ; ... and so with everything. Notice I did not even question what is your need, not only changes an old PC a new one, and as Fidel was the owner of all of Cuba, including the Cubans, these massive changes made throughout the country is logical that the outcome less electricity is observed nationally, with the use of course of less oil. From the point of view of Fidel, so far, is a good move. It is clear that for this formula works and Fidel says explicitly that each team is a little slave to be counted in advance with the oil to generate electricity that the team will use. I hope you now understand one very important, because Fidel is not allowed to sell appliances for self-dollars or even, like DVD players, microwave ovens, electric stoves, air conditioners, etc.. And this point is very important to ensure that no power cuts, as currently living in Cuba in 2005.
For the people, Fidel promises that with these savings, you may increase the ounces of beans to feed people in slavery, he mentions the idea of eliminating the ration card, but ensures more beans. It is good to clarify something, in Cuba, both electricity and beans are subsidized by the government. The Cuban people, is a miserable town. Then. a Cuban slave boy notes that you change the bulbs, TV, refrigerator, if they stay with a large debt, have blackouts and also it will sell quite a bit more expensive beans, this is a great achievement for these little slave where your dad keeps Fidel and consents.
Well, what happened to this aspect of the strategy for Fidel, considered the nerve by communist ideologues, after Fidel was removed from power?. It's easy to say, Raul allowed to freely sell DVD players, microwave ovens, electric stoves, air conditioners, etc.. more computers, cellphones, etc, etc, etc. Raul words left these pillars of socialism Fidelista so prized by communist ideologues, it is also true that in Cuba, Fidel is in charge.
Many wanted to see it as a kind gesture from Raul and beside other things, expected changes coming, and they saw that the coup, which is the GAESA group, which is the military Raulistas merchants to control the entire economy that works in Cuba, they needed freedom to sell, including DVD players, microwave ovens, electric stoves, air conditioners, and more computers, cellphones, etc, etc, etc.
One of the consequences we're already seeing, became the blackouts but the beans did not return, instead go the few they had. From the point of view of the Cuban communist, she was right.

The stubborn facts: Coup d'état in Cuba since 2006.
It's very difficult to understand, many saw him in Honduras as a coup, although the state remained intact and was legally a constitutional change of the President for violating the Constitution of Honduras. However, to think that in Cuba there has been a real coup, is a heresy, an absurdity. Well, it really is what happened, but read it yourself.
Fidel Castro was ousted in late July 2006, on the other pole of economic and military power in Cuba, the group GAESA, military Raulistas merchants. Castro based his infinite power to keep people in poverty, then Castro kept the people and everything else, the Soviet Communists gave him money.
When the Soviet Union died, died the magical source of Castro came Maleconazo, his power was not infinite, had to survive to start relying on people, ie had to make certain economic freedoms, freedoms that also enjoyed GAESA . Luckily for Castro saving table came in 1999 with Chavez in Venezuela, but Chavez could only dispose of the oil revenue five years later.
Castro then tried to restore his infinite power, because Chavez had replaced the Soviets and began to remove the economic freedoms granted not only the people but at the same GAESA, when it began re-centralization of the economy. Course offered Chavez Castro, Cuba in exchange for this financial support, there was talk of Cubazuela. Clearly GAESA was being seriously threatened by Castro and the fall in 2004 that Castro was well drawn, were given the keys to the solution, in late 2006 and was not given another chance, the die was cast.
The instrument for exercising power of Castro was his speech to the people, that's precisely what we have not seen once since that day speak directly to the people, not even a video, not a reflection is dedicated to the town, this is the answer to this question than anyone could respond. Castro would not let the Cubans from entering hotels, losing customers, Castro did not stop selling DVD players, no computers, no cell phones, etc.., Businesses that were lost ... for GAESA. Because Castro is out of the game and all of that can be sold for ... GAESA. Nobody has been able to see this either, it's a shame. Now, no one can understand that the dictatorship want to remove the ration card and paternalism (not a ration book, but the supply of slaves, his name is well placed, was part of the mechanism of the infinite power of Fidel Castro).
But if we see it from the standpoint of GAESA, it is very logical, they are in the business, not to keep anyone interested, on the contrary, it is normalized market since they have a monopoly and only interested in win, win and win. Assume that sends Fidel Castro in Cuba are unable to understand what is happening in Cuba. Put the right and everything will become clear. Not that the people be interested GAESA and freedom, not interested GAESA ambition and nothing else. Not that good, removed the bad guy, not a bad old man took another bad even older. Putting the right can foresee the future steps of the dictatorship, as opposed to Fidel Castro that he needed the U.S. embargo, GAESA really need to remove the embargo and make big business with American capital, and we are in real jeopardy, as this also be of interest to the U.S. capital, that nothing matters of freedom of Cuba.
Finally, I add, what we saw in the eyes of all, as the fidelity of the dome were removed and disappeared from public view. But none of this has been enough for even the slightest doubt that Fidel Castro underwent more than a cancer operation a real coup, that largely we are happy, but I regret that not perceive that the current state is not better than the of Fidel Castro.
There is a very interesting detail, we know that the health of Fidel Castro is a secret of the Havana mob, so the broadcast version and is accepted worldwide, is that Fidel Castro was ill and had surgery. That is, this is the version of Raúl Castro, a Mafia-confessed liar and manipulator, this translates into the following: Are you in favor of the version of Raúl Castro?.

Following the money trail of absolute power in Cuba.
The first attempt by Fidel Castro's mafia gunman seize power was in 1953, where the show was trying to make a barracks for weapons, from where he fled leaving behind almost all of the troops. I had no money and Napoleon Bonaparte had said to make it clear that war was needed money, money money.
With the lesson learned after leaving prison, Fidel Castro promised to all towns and castles, and especially domestic entrepreneurs in exchange for money, big money, even the Americans were promised a representative democracy and social justice, ensuring that the U.S. government will impose an arms embargo on the island government.
It perched in power stole all property, wealth and money at all national and international businessmen, and especially the U.S. and abroad took him out for as essential premise that Machiavelli himself had prescribed "not let someone else powerful that you may dwell in your own land. " The United States government then imposed a trade embargo that lasted until today because it remains communist mafia power in Cuba and continues to steal and stifling as the first day.
Thus, the gangster Fidel Castro, had managed to be the only large sums of money and soon managed to subdue all Cubans to abject poverty, and all became dependent on it, setting the secret formula of its large and extensive power almost half a century. The ration book, which in that hoarding of wealth on the part of Fidel Castro coupled with the misery of the people, he called the same ration card, which is still the most popular tool for effective control.
The money runs out without someone to produce it, however opportunistically someone came to save him from ruin, the Soviet Communists, who "selflessly" came to his aid. Fidel Castro knew that logically ordered and paid 10 years to seize power and have destroyed the Cuban economy makes economic desperate attempt to pay the debt mountain and Soviet imperial power and independence from the Soviet and only reaches the great failure of the harvest of 10 million tons of sugar.
Voluntary departure was never able to choose among its variants, and Fidel Castro voluntarily submits to be a Soviet puppet, accepting in exchange for Soviet subsidy, to institutionalize the country to the Soviet model, sovietize Cuban life, turn the island of Cuba on a Soviet military base and most importantly, serve the mercenary troops of the Soviet imperialist ambitions in African wars, under the guise of proletarian internationalism. However, Fidel Castro refuses to live not only the budget of Soviet cities, so began to borrow from banks and capitalist inroads into drug trafficking and money laundering, setting up enterprises in many capitalist countries in the world. But as in all businesses that Castro does end in a disaster, must end by shooting drug its most loyal officers to save his own skin. The external debt with the capitalist world, which reached even to promote a worldwide campaign to not pay, ended his own growing debt securities scandalous pay and renegotiated again and again without protest.
To make matters worse in this situation, the Soviet Union falls under its own weight, due to economic inefficiency and bureaucracy, socialist, and Fidel Castro lost his lovely grant that allowed him to be alone in Cuba with a lot of money, keep all the misery and thus all depend on Fidel Castro, and not vice versa which is normal in a country, the ruling depends on the wealth generated by the people.
But it does not, does not drop the rope that smothers the people, not let it work, not allowed to do business, and launched the slogan "Resistance is as good as to undertake," while remaining in the status quo, not to lose power, does not depend on anyone. The people on the verge of famine, was no longer maintained by Fidel Castro and rebels spontaneously in what is known as the Maleconazo, fear is not enough to stop a nation, Fidel Castro has no money.
It had happened once, when the harvest of 10 million, far more dangerous, is to violate the maxim of Machiavelli, let others within their own economic power to acquire land. Not only is the ordinary Cubans, there is a new economic force, the military Raulistas, control and manage these broad lines of the national economy. Fidel Castro opened the country to massive dollar reaches its greatest enemies, the exiled, tourism it is insufficient in a broken country that only lives for many years of Soviet subsidies. Fidel Castro loses that absolute power, and reminds everyone that the situation created is undesirable for him, that when I can return to the previous situation. For several years away from public events, is afraid, but remains limited sizes of business people and goods and services of the military companies Raulistas.
But in late 1998 it achieved at the ballot box that failed with weapons in the 1992 coup, Hugo Chávez succeeds in winning elections in Venezuela and seize power. It will save your table, and as always, Fidel Castro also inflating his big ego Hugo Chávez Simón Bolívar to consider the twenty-first century promises to villas and castles as always, offers the entire island of Cuba to the attach to Venezuela as the first step to conquer all of Latin America also offers its great revolutionary political heritage, support, protection and counseling in exchange for a hefty subsidy to the best Soviet style. Chavez did not pray and Fidel Castro could count again with a grant from the outside, as the Soviets. But Hugo Chávez could not yet have much money, had to cause an oil strike to finish taking over the whole direction of the oil company PDVSA, the 2004 is where oil prices soar more than $ 40 and maintain a steady climb in 2005 decreed the Exchange Agreement 9 BCV Banco Central de Venezuela, where not all sales of PDVSA enter the bank, as was hitherto remained in his hands all the rest to your discretion. That's when Hugo Chávez can ensure a good allowance to Fidel Castro.
Fidel Castro once again provided a lot of money so I could start trying to restore the Machiavellian formula, of regaining his absolute power by relying on people battered and military Raulistas on major businesses. The latter had already acquired much power. The village was easier to submit, increasing restrictions on their tiny businesses and make them break. Pick up the dollars they had to release and discourage remittances from exile by imposing a one-sided assessment of 20%. For companies imposes a strong restriction of the Central Bank credits should not exceed $ 10,000 and focused on a strong campaign for re-centralization of the economy. On 17 November 2005, in a speech at the Aula Magna of the University of Havana, said:
"... We had to argue a lot, not going to believe that the directors of our companies have a habit of discipline. And not everyone can be happy, I warn you, and I warn them, too, because this will be a struggle hard. No one has protested, but there were 3 000 people operating currencies and decided the gains, the use in this or that, if I paint, if I buy a better cart and not the old cacharrito we have. Three thousand, and we realized that conditions in this country that had to be overcome. There was a meeting with the principal (initeligible) changed.
...
... Banks have excellent banking institutions. Resources currently allocated to all expenditure of the country, are administered by banks, delivered according to the established program ,..."
Said by Fidel Castro himself clearly, was repairing his power absolute, battered from a decade behind the disappearance of the Soviet sucidio.
Against this background, something unexpected occurs, Fidel Castro was apparently ill, apparently because his health was declared a state secret. And Fidel Castro cedes, apparently voluntarily, all his powers to Raúl Castro and Fidel is left in the shadows, never appeared more to their people or worry about people's problems, which have been many including the passage of several hurricanes that swept the island. So, Fidel Castro and do not need money, in other words END OF ABSOLUTE POWER OF FIDEL CASTRO.
To dispel doubts, Raúl Castro after the Fidelistas depose the halls of power, made by land banking restrictions for their military entrepreneurs who were choking Fidel Castro since 2004. What happiness! And can obtain loans without limitations on the amount. I can not imagine how much money should have been obtained without control of the Cuban banking, but looking at the results one can have some idea. Today Raúl Castro has imposed a playpen to foreign investors, who can not derive their earnings from business done in Cuba.
With the lesson learned after leaving prison, Fidel Castro promised to all towns and castles, and especially domestic entrepreneurs in exchange for money, big money, even the Americans were promised a representative democracy and social justice, ensuring that the U.S. government will impose an arms embargo on the island government.
It perched in power stole all property, wealth and money at all national and international businessmen, and especially the U.S. and abroad took him out for as essential premise that Machiavelli himself had prescribed "not let someone else powerful that you may dwell in your own land.
