Dictatorial Cruelty & Insanity

America's Cuban Policy

The drug is Heberprot-P. It was discovered by Cuba's renowned medical scientists. It is being used, NBC says, "in 26 nations." It has been proven to prevent amputations in diabetic patients. It is not available in the United States because of the U. S. embargo against Cuba that was started in 1962 for the purpose, as revealed by declassified U. S. documents, of starving and depriving Cubans on the island to entice them to rise up and overthrow Fidel Castro. Fidel Castro turns 89-years-old in a few days, living out his life in a modest home in Havana. The U. S. embargo against Cuba also still lives, and it still starves and deprives eleven million innocent Cubans on the island, and deprives America's millions of diabetics of a drug that well might prevent foot or leg amputations -- Heberprot-P. This policy, for going on six decades now, remains in place to appease the insatiable revenge, economic, and political appetites of a handful of two generations of Cuban-exiles and their sycophants, such as the Bush dynasty. Proselytized, intimidated, ignorant or non-patriotic Americans are not supposed to object as we pass along that Cuban policy to future generations -- our children's, our grand-children's, etc. The aforementioned NBC Nightly News report minutely explained how badly Heberprot-P is needed by diabetic Americans. If you go online to view that report, you will see and hear the reasons and the pleas for the U. S. embargo against Cuba to at least humanely allow Americans to benefit from Heberprot-P. The very last sentence from that NBC Nightly News report is this: "For many American diabetics, it couldn't come soon enough." "It couldn't come soon enough." A drug from Cuba that could prevent amputations befalling millions of diabetic Americans. "It couldn't come soon enough." Americans in the year 2015 are supposed to be too afraid or too stupid to comprehend those five words. Thus, Americans are supposed to be too afraid or too stupid to ask Marco Rubio, Bob Menendez, Ted Cruz, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and Mario Diaz-Balart in the U. S. Congress if they will please relax the embargo against Cuba long enough for Americans to benefit from Heberprot-P and other Cuban drugs.

        This is Dr. Jorge Berlanga Acosta. He is the Cuban medical scientist who invented Heberprot-P. He says, "I am proud this product has helped diabetic patients in Cuba and in 26 other countries. I am proud we can keep the product cheap and, of course, totally free for poor people who need it. I want no money from it, just the personal satisfaction of knowing it is helping people in my country and other countries."

Heberprot-P has saved feet and legs in Cuba and 26 other countries.

 Even if Marco Rubio disagrees, Heberprot-P should come to America.

Senator from Miami should be President of the United States, Americans should also be cognizant of and understand this photo. At that "New York-Cuba Trade Mission" podium is a lady that Marco Rubio and other extremists Miami Cubans oppose. Her name is Dr. Candace S. Johnson. She is the President and CEO of the renowned Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York. Recently she heard that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was leading a trade mission to Cuba. That's Governor Cuomo right behind Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson begged permission to be a part of that trip to Cuba. She has studied the positive results of a lung cancer drug developed by Cuba's medical scientists. In Cuba, she received permission from Cuba for that drug to be made available, cheaply, in the United States. Hampered by the U. S. embargo against Cuba, a cruel and archaic policy designed to appease a second generation of anti-Castro zealots in Miami, Dr. Johnson now is relegated to begging the U. S. government for permission for her lung cancer patients to have access to that Cuban drug. Her pleas, like sooooo many others, may be in vain.

       Meanwhile, as a first-term U. S. Senator from Miami, young Marco Rubio hasn't accomplished anything in Congress because he spends most of his time attacking President Obama's plans to ease the cruel and insane embargo against Cuba. Most of the rest of Rubio's time is spent begging billionaires to support his 2016 bid to be elected President and Commander-in-Chief of the United States. Searching out any network camera, Rubio justifies punishing the Cuban people and everyone else to keep the cruelly insane embargo in place and "toughen it." In his rantings, by contrast, Rubio seems to long for the Batistiano-Mafiosi rule of Cuba. He got all the way to the U. S. Senate with his bio making the obligatory claim that his parents escaped the tyranny of Castro's Cuba while, in fact, they escaped the Batista tyranny long before Castro's revolution in 1959 chased the Batistaino-Mafiosi crowd off the island, mostly to Miami. In a recent Op-Ed column in the New York Times, Rubio made a litany of other misleading thoughts and threats, apparently because he actually has little knowledge of Cuba or its history or because he believes Americans are too ignorant or to scared to challenge anything he says. And meanwhile, Rubio is a dire enemy of Cubans who are doing good, like Dr. Jorge Berlanga Acosta, and he is a dire enemy of Americans who are doing good, like Dr. Candace S. Johnson. Is it is time for good guys to influence America's Cuban policy?
