In this case, a cash donation to pay for medicines and equipment in

There is an exchange of money between two national governments. And
Cuba will use the money to buy and have the goods shipped to Haiti.
Why not the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment??? You really are
getting desperate, aren't you, Mr. Lobbyist?

Really, if this is really the best you can do you might as well
concede the point -- you were lying, just making it all up as you
went, when you said the Norwegians were "paying Castro" for services
rendered, suggesting that Fidel or Raul were somehow lining their own
pockets, profiteering from the aid mission. It is easy to see why you
were voted SCC Loser of the Year for 2009!

The Radio Havana dispatch (the original posting in this thread)
actually quotes the Norwegian Environment and International
Development Minister Erik Solheim:

"Norwegian Environment and International Development Minister Erik
Solheim said 'Norway wants to support the lifesaving work Cuban
doctors are doing in Haiti under extreme conditions.' He said the
money
will be used to purchase much needed equipment and medicines for the
Cuban medical personnel."

Once again your lies and libellous claims have been exposed. Contrary
to your self-serving lies here, the Norwegian government is NOT
"paying Castro" for any "services rendered." And neither are Fidel or
Raul are lining their own pockets, profiteering from the aid mission
in Haiti. Desperate lobbyist that you are, you were simply making it
all up as you went. Admit it -- you have absolutely no proof to
support these outrageous claims of yours. Once again, we see what a
TRULY desperate liar you are!

I know, why don't you LOBBY Mr. Solheim himself? He is just a few
hours drive from you. Or phone him. Tell him why funding medicines and
equipment for the Cuban aid mission in Haiti is a "mistake," as you
said here. Get him to impose genocidal trade sanctions on the Cuban
people instead! Maybe even take him to Club Med so he can, ahem...
"see things for himself?" HA, HA, HA! What a loser!

PL goes down in flames, AGAIN! Reduced to mindlessly repeating his
failed lies and arguments here, and his usual cowardly snip-and-run
tactics, he can't seem to get around the fact that the Norwegian
government minister in charge actually exposed him for the truly
desperate liar that he is!

The only one that actually quotes any government officials -- the
Norwegian Environment and International Development Minister, Erik
Solheim, in this case.

From the original posting here, we have about the same thing.:

"Norwegian Environment and International Development Minister Erik
Solheim said 'Norway wants to SUPPORT the lifesaving work Cuban
doctors are doing in Haiti under extreme conditions.' "

And how was that money going to be be spent? Your other reports don't
say. In my original posting here, however, the report continues:

"[Solheim] said the money will be used to purchase much needed
equipment and medicines for the Cuban medical personnel."

And who would know better? Contrary to your lies then, there is
nothing here about "paying Castro" for any "services rendered" -- just
donations to "purchase much needed equipment and medicines for the
Cuban medical personnel." And nothing about Cuba "profiteering" from
their aid mission, or of Fidel or Raul somehow lining their own
pockets with donations. You simply made all of this up as you went
along, desperate propagandist that you are.

As I said, there is nothing here about how the money was to be spent.
Thanks for confirming I was right.

Desperately grasping at straws, your entire "argument" -- if it can
even be called that -- hangs on the name of the Cuban ministry
involved??? Get real! The Norwegian government official quoted here
has shot you down in flames, exposing you for the TRULY desperate liar
that you are! Seems to happen a lot, eh, Mr. Lobbyist?

Again, maybe you should LOBBY Mr. Solheim yourself? E-mail him at
tviklingsminister@mfa.no (from his official webpage). Tell him why
funding medicines and equipment for the Cuban aid mission in Haiti is
a "mistake," as you said in another thread here. Get him to impose
genocidal trade sanctions on the Cuban people instead! Do let us know
what he says.

Any way, it seems you have once again been reduced to mindlessly
repeating your failed lies and arguments here, desperately hoping that

The top Norwegian government official quoted here exposes PL for the
TRULY desperate liar that he is. Reduced to cowardly snip-and-run
tactics and mindlessly repeating his lies and failed arguments here,
PL has gone down in flames. What a loser!

My original posting here gives more details about how the money is to
be spent on medicines and equipment for the Cuban mission in Haiti.
The Minister's own words expose you for the truly desperate liar that
you are. Deal with it, Mr. Lobbyist.

Cowardly snip and run....

What the cowardly PL snipped for all too obvious reasons:

And how was that money going to be be spent? Your other reports don't
say. In my original posting here, however, the report continues:

"[Solheim] said the money will be used to purchase much needed
equipment and medicines for the Cuban medical personnel."

And who would know better? Contrary to your lies then, there is
nothing here about "paying Castro" for any "services rendered" -- just
donations to "purchase much needed equipment and medicines for the
Cuban medical personnel." And nothing about Cuba "profiteering" from
their aid mission, or of Fidel or Raul somehow lining their own
pockets with donations. You simply made all of this up as you went
along, desperate propagandist that you are.

> Yep: support them by contracting for their work as the Juventud rebelde
> article says.

[snip]

A blatant lie exposed by the very next sentence, which you snipped for
all too obvious reasons:

"[Solheim] said the money will be used to purchase much needed
equipment and medicines for the Cuban medical personnel."


> >> If this is an aid operation, why sign a contract with a trade ministry?

What the cowardly PL also snipped for obvious reasons:

Desperately grasping at straws, your entire "argument" -- if it can
even be called that -- hangs on the name of the Cuban ministry
involved??? Get real! The Norwegian government official quoted here
has shot you down in flames, exposing you for the TRULY desperate liar

Specifically, to buy medicines and equipment for the Cuban aid mission
in Haiti.

[snip]

All the evidence shows what a coward and truly desperate liar you are,
Mr. Lobbyist. Again, you have utterly failed to prove your libellous
claims -- that the Cuban leadership is somehow profiteering from its
aid mission in Haiti, and that Fidel and Raul are lining their pockets
with donations. Yet another propaganda fiasco for you and your
political masters. Do they actually pay you for this????

Anyway, if you are simply going to keep repeating your failed lies and
arguments like this, do not expect a reply from on this matter.

Again, maybe you should "lobby" Mr. Solheim yourself. E-mail him at
tviklingsminis...@mfa.no (from his official webpage). Tell him why
funding medicines and equipment for the Cuban aid mission in Haiti is
a "mistake," as you said in another thread here. Get him to impose
genocidal trade sanctions on the Cuban people instead! Do let us know
what he says. HA, HA, HA!
