Enriches Some, Shames America!!
Above is a compendium of the TOP headlines in the propaganda-obsessed U. S. media pertaining to Cuba today -- on September 1, 2021. As usual, Americans today are being fed bushels of anti-Cuba propaganda, which makes a few people richer and more politically powerful but also shames the once-respected mainstream media in the Land of the Free and the Home of the brave. The headline on the left is pure propaganda by a Miami television station; in the middle the headline is by the USA's most-read newspaper, which has sadly joined the corporate giants that now promote pure propaganda; and on the right the headline by the Miami Herald merely reflects the daily pure propaganda against Cuba that has long become the staple fare of that once-respected Miami newspaper. Of course, the world's most successful propagandists believe that repetitious lies saturating masses of people day-after-day have seismic effects, and...of course...regarding Miami's and the USA's propaganda regarding Cuba, repetitious lies about Cuba...decade after decade since 1959...have been and continue to be converted into extreme financial and political rewards for a select few.
In this new month of September-2021, ON Cuba News...as far as I can tell...is just about the only media source in the United States that actually reports real news related to Cuba. It actually has reporters in both Miami and Havana, and it reports good news, bad news, and anything in between.
Just as an example, the article above by ON Cuba News actually contains actual news and insight about Cuba and the genocidal U. S. embargo/blockade that has existed since 1962 to "starve" Cubans on the island to appease and benefit a handful of politically connected Cubans in Miami/Little Havana, Newark/Union City, and Washington. Of course, to support that genocidal propaganda since 1962, Americans have been told that the benefactors...a few Cubans and their sycophants...are "the GOOD GUYS" and the masses of Cuban victims on the island are "the BAD GUYS!!" In other words, the basic premise for prolonging the genocide against generations of Cubans in Cuba is a vast propaganda lie that maintains that the effects of the genocidal embargo/blockade hurts only the "bad" leaders of Cuba but doesn't harm the masses of everyday Cubans on the island. For generations of supposedly intelligent and brave Americans to blindly accept that blatant and pernicious propaganda lie actually says a lot more America than it SAYS about Cuba!!! In the United States of America...the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave...only On Cuba News seems to have both the guts and the integrity to report an undeniable fact: "....it {the blockade} is an act of cruelty not against the government, but towards those of us who live in Cuba." THOSE WORDS ARE THE LAST WORDS IN THE ARTICLE DEPICTED ABOVE; and they are totally, 100% simple and true. Yet, when 340 million U. S. citizens are programmed to disregard them, it reflects, I think, that even the world's strongest Democracy can fall victim to a mainstream media that replaces real news with extreme, self-serving PROPAGANDA!!
The four photos directly above have been posted on Social Media in the last few days by everyday Cubans on the island. They, and many others like them, proclaim that they will fight to the death to prevent a foreign power...the United States...from recapturing the island. In other words, these four Cubans on the island HAVE OPINIONS TOO!! But in the United States media, such opinions are not allowed!!! And that is because in the U. S. media ONLY anti-Cuba voices are allowed!!
Now...go back to the top three U. S. headlines related to Cuba today -- September 1, 2021. Sandwiched between the two headlines from the two Miami sources, is the headline today in by far the most-read newspaper in the United States -- USA Today: "I'M A CUBAN DISSIDENT. WE NEED AMERICA TO STAND WITH US AGAINST THIS COMMUNIST REGIME." Even USA Today is obligated to be a prime anti-Cuba propaganda source in the United States. Thus, if you are a virulent anti-Cuba dissident in Cuba or in the United States, you are routinely provided the mainstream media in the United States to saturate your extreme and unchallenged views to America's already programmed citizenry that has been showered with self-serving Counter Revolutionary narratives, propaganda, lies, and other unlimited and lucrative Batistiano idolatry. And thus, I believe that today's USA Today headline about Cuba says a lot more about what has happened in the U. S. since 1959 than it says about Cuba, the pugnacious island that defeated the "nice" U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship way back in 1959.
