April 1961 vs. April 2022
Exactly 61 years ago -- on April 17-18-19 of 1961 -- the Bay of Pigs Invasion against Cuba took place as the United States launched an air-land-and-sea attack at Cuba's Giron Beach to recapture the coveted island. The sea invasion above followed the devastating destructions of Cuban airports by U. S. bombers. Revolutionary Cuba shocked the world by defeating the assault, just as the Cuban Revolution had shocked the world back on January 1st of 1959 by overthrowing the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship that had robbed and brutalized the island unmercifully from 1952 till 1959.
After incredibly warding off the Bay of Pigs military attack in April of 1961, Revolutionary Cuba was subjected to the USA's continued and massive efforts to regain control of Cuba, including terror acts, assassination attempts, and various other methods that failed to subdue the island. And then...the U. S. in 1962 started an economic Embargo against Cuba that, according to de-classified U. S. documents, was meant to starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cuban people to induce them to rise up and overthrow their own Revolutionary government. But that too has not worked. Yet, since 1962 the Embargo indeed has starved, deprived, and made miserable the Cubans on the island...while rich Cubans in the U. S. keep getting richer and richer. And that is why...as shown above...the billboard says that the 6-decade-old Blockade constitutes "the longest/largest genocidal assault in history."
Yet, as the international Cuban headlines today -- on April 18-2022 -- blatantly herald as shown above confirm, the world is consistently told that rich people in a Superpower nation are justified in trying to starve people in a much-Smaller nation for six decades...and counting!! And, incredibly, when nations in Europe, South Africa, Mexico, India, etc., try to help those starving souls in Cuba such nations are criticized and accused of vile deeds...apparently so as not to displease the very influential rich and powerful nation that is starving the poor people in the weak nation.
Perhaps the most asinine article that started circulating around the globe on April 17-2022 was the one above that "shamed" the European Union for trying to help Cubans starving because of the infamous and endless Embargo/Blockade. The article above was written by a "journalist" named Michael Curzon.
WONDERFUL!!
