But Superpower Genocide Hurts!!
Today -- Friday, September 6th, 2019 -- my Email included another massive report from OFAC detailing even more sanctions against the Cuban people that many decent and frustrated people worldwide consider genocide. OFAC is the arm of the U. S. Treasury Department in charge of announcing and implementing such things. Today's release included 35 pages of fine print such as {1} "revise certain authorization for remittances to Cuba to impose new requirements and limitations; and {2}...well, you get the gist of what genocide entails. Regarding "remittances," that concerns the several billions of dollars & goods that decent Cuban-Americans have been allowed to send to their relatives on the island, a process the Obama administration, of course, encouraged but his successor, the Republican Trump, wants Florida's 29 Electoral Votes so he quickly turned America's Cuban policies back over to ONLY Miami's most vicious Counter Revolutionary zealots. As I studied today's exhaustive and latest OFAC assaults on totally innocent Cubans in Cuba, I was reminded that the harassed Trump this week had his hands full with non-Cuban issues but he allows anti-Cuban zealots to run amok with American power and wealth in {1} Getting even richer off new Trump anti-Cuban lawsuits in Miami federal courtrooms; and {2} adding more and more unchecked genocidal assaults on Cubans in Cuba. While Americans since 1959 have been programmed to accept this, there are decent people around the world who are appalled at a powerful nation, decade after decade, committing genocide against totally innocent people in a much smaller nation.
One such decent person is Federica Mogherini, the powerful Foreign Relations High Representative at the European Union. Once again trying desperately to halt or at least blunt the Trump administration's genocide against Cubans in Cuba, Mogherini will be back in Cuba Monday -- SEPTEMBER 9TH-2019 -- to chair a sane EU-Cuba Joint Session. Emilio Lozada Garcia will head Cuba's delegation and Hugo Sobral will lead the EU delegation with Mogherini the moderator.
Having traveled often to the island, Federica Mogherini loves the Cuban people and she doesn't believe a handful of self-serving miscreants in a powerful nation should be allowed to assault innocent people in a much smaller nation. But because the U. S. is the world's Superpower, that is what Federica Mogherini is confronting again when she returns to Cuba Monday. If you are a democracy-loving American, perhaps you will take time to listen to the following short video of Federica Mogherini's comments about Cuba. She is speaking in Spanish but there are large English translations at the bottom of the screen:
For a decent and internationally powerful woman like the EU's Federica Mogherini to be stymied and flummoxed by the Superpower USA's genocide against innocent Cubans in Cuba shames the United States and Democracy. It also, I believe, points out the need for a braver and more decent generation of Americans to protect and defend America...not Cuba BUT America!!
Even during a Republican administration in Washington, for the American people to allow right-wing American and Cuban-American thugs to dictate the USA's Cuban policies for their own economic and political pleasures surely shames the world's most powerful nation. But in America's two-party political system, the thieving and genocidal aspects of the Republican Party concerning Cuba ALWAYS rise to the forefront...VIRTUALLY UNCHECKED. In other words, I'm convinced that the six men above could care less about the worldwide image of America depicted below:
