There is a poem by that eminent latin american poet who belongs to all PABLO NERUDA
How much happens in a day
and I will tell you what happened to me in a day..
Pablo continues:
Who would have said that the earthwith its ancient skin would change so much?
It has more volcanoes than yesterday,
the sky has brand-new clouds,
the rivers are flowing differently.
Besides, so much has come into being!
I have inaugurated hundreds
of highways and buildings,
delicate, clean bridges
like ships or violins.
Pablo lived at a time when snooping at people's lives had not reached such sophistication. If you are interested in what lies ahead please read the Israeli historian, Yuval Noah Harari.
This morning, I woke up to the news that hundreds of barbers in Afghanistan would be out of work as the ruling Islamist militants have warned them not to trim beards and hair of the Afghan population. Beauty salons are closed too.
Why is this of interest to me, apart from a human rights point of view?
A friend of mine in Malacca needed 250 dollars and I know him well and immediately said Yes. He said he had used a transfer service called WISE and had no problem receiving the amount from his cousin in the USA.
So on the 19th of this month, I sent 250 dollars to my friend in Malacca, Malaysia.
Most people in this world do not know that almost all Muslim males carry the name Mohammed but are identified by other names in their usually very long names, certainly true in Malaysia (perhaps not in Indonesia where the names remind them of their Hindu past and usually single words)
So the full name for transfer of money was Mohammed S…. bin Mohammed Y.. In Malaysia bin means, son of, so his full name has two Mohammed in it.
You must congratulate the Artificial intelligence. It picked up that the fact that 1. The money transfer was going to Malaysia, a designated Muslim majority country with terrorist connections and 2. The person had the attention seeking name Mohammed, not once but twice
The poor man was waiting for his money. He desperately needed it. Today is 27th, a full week later. I received a note from the company.
What is the purpose of this transfer and how do you know your recipient? (please give us a detailed explanation)
What does CUBA in your reference field refer to? (please give us a detailed explanation)
Please confirm if there is any direct or indirect Cuban involvement in this transaction?
I use the moniker CUBA the country or COCHIN a city in India in my communications. To identify this transaction, I had named it DR.CUBA
Uninformed people in USA especially while condemning the economic situation in Cuba, do not comprehend the role of their government in causing the misery in Cuba.
The previous administration choked Cuba by cutting off any sort of financial assistance by ANYONE around the world. I tried to send a small amount of money to a family in Cuba, from Mexico, Brasil and France (from USA of course it is not possible).. all were negated.
So a simple man in Malacca who has the required name Mohammed does not understand the Taliban request that barbers would be punished if they trim beards. They are related as far as the Artificial Intelligence is concerned.
Just including the word CUBA in your conversation or communication, especially if it involves a money transfer however small it may be, would draw the attention or ire of the USA government.
By the way the communication I received was from Europe as the transfer company is based in Europe.
Such is the power of the Embargo against Cuba by the USA !
The conservative philosophy always has been: If you are not with us, you are against us.
All the enemies of the WEST, the 25 counties mentioned in the Terrorist list plus states like CUBA, VENEZUELA , if they are mentioned in your communications, it will be a red flag.
In this case, the red flags were. CUBA. MALAYSIA. MOHAMMED. Even though I am a Jew, like many of the jews of the Levant and the east, it has an arabic sound to it. God forbid, you try and send money to IRAN ..
PS :WISE money transfers, which I will never use again, after nearly four weeks since i initiated the money transfer, informed me that my money has been refunded to my account and not delivered to a man in need in Malacca, Malaysia
