Why have the American people for 60 years condoned it??
For sixty years...from 1962 till 2022...the purpose of the U. S. Embargo has had two legal purposes: {1) To enrich already rich Cubans in Little Havana-Miami, and {2} "to starve, deprive, and make miserable" the Cubans in Cuba to persuade them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government, which had overthrown the brutal U.S.-backed Batista dictatorship in 1959. Thus the Embargo since 1962, in the eyes of many people around the world, seems to be a classic example of Genocide being imposed by a powerful nation against people in a much weaker nation. Yet, for over 60 years the American people have meekly allowed it to happen...YES: "to starve, deprive, and make miserable" Cuban families in Cuba to appease rich Cubans in Miami. "Of course, for it to persist for all these decades Americans have been propagandized to not believe that the purpose of the Embargo "is to starve, deprive, and make miserable" the vulnerable people of Cuba. Therefore, to this day -- the last day of August in 2022 -- Americans are not SUPPOSED to know about official U. S. documents began to overwhelm new democratic President John F. Kennedy starting in January of 1961 to sign off on drastic tactics from the outgoing Batista-loving Republican Party to recapture Cuba at all costs!!
Thus, history documents the fact that neophyte President John F. Kennedy, the Democrat, signed to legalize the outgoing Republican Party's prime plans to recapture Cuba. That of course, first of all, included the approval of the massive BAY of PIGS military attack against Cuba in April of 1961. When Cuba famously defeated that military attack, JFK was obliged to approve a record-number of assassination attempts and terrorist acts against Cuba. When all that failed to overthrow Cuba's revolutionary government, the photo above shows President JFK in 1962 signing the legalization of the EMBARGO against Cuba...which to this day on August 31st of 2022 remains LEGAL and thus still mandates the age-old efforts to "starve, deprive, and make miserable" the Cubans in Cuba. As you can see from the declassified and official U. S. document below, by April 6 of 1960 the U. S. government was being influenced by powerful agencies, such as the CIA, to prioritize plans to recapture Cuba even if the Bay of Pigs attack failed. So, after the Bay of Pigs military attack failed and drastically embarrassed the U. S. in April of 1961, JFK had to sign off on a myriad of other legalized plans to recapture Cuba. In the first of the 6 conclusions in the U. S. document shown below, note that the U. S. admitted that "The majority of Cubans support Castro," a fact that Americans have always been lied to about. And then in the next-to-last paragraph below note that a prime item in the U. S. plan to recapture Cuba included this plan: "...a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation, and overthrow of government." To this day -- August 31st of 2022 -- Americans are not supposed to know about such "legalized" Republican plans that the new democratic President JFK inherited to recapture Cuba, plans that for most of his first two years in office he was obligated to approve. So...even today Americans are not supposed to care about declassified U. S. documents such as this:
Indeed, President JFK felt obliged to approve his inherited Republican plans to recapture Cuba from January-1961 till early in 1962 even though the diabolical plans included the Bay of Pigs attack, countless assassination attempts, and the Embargo in 1962. But by 1962 JFK was considered a charismatic and popular young democratic President who was sure to get re-elected President for a second 4-year term in 1993. So, using that strong popularity, JFK decided he didn't have to sign and approve all these drastic Republican plans to recapture Cuba...and he had sympathy for the Cuban people in Cuba although he was abundantly aware that the CIA and the Cubans in Miami acutely blamed him for the Bay of Pigs disaster that was supposed to have overthrown Revolutionary Cuba in April of 1961. At one point in 1962 history registers the fact that one day JFK walked into his presidential Oval Office and loudly exclaimed: "IF I HAD THE CHANCE I WOULD BLOW THE CIA TO SMITHERINES!!!" And...how do we know that? Well, three top advisers to JFK -- Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Ted Sorensen, and Pierre Salinger -- happened be renowned authors/journalists!! Thus, because of such close advisers to JFK...men who wrote extensively as authors-journalists following their days in the White House...we know that JFK, in the days leading up to his tragic assassination in Dallas on November 22-1963, had every intention to end the EMBARGO ON CUBA and NORMALIZE RELATIONS WITH CUBA.

Thus, although he signed it into law in 1962, by the time he was assassinated in Dallas in 1963 we know that President John F. Kennedy was ashamed of the EMBARGO of Cuba and that, if he had lived, he would have tried to normalize relations with Cuba during his second term as President. Therefore I believe that one reason the EMBARGO has continued for over six decades was the assassination of President John Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963.
Much of President Kennedy's tragically short presidency was absorbed with problems related to Cuba that he had inherited from the prior Republican administration.
And after the failed Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba in April of 1961, President Kennedy had to address the acute criticism he received from Little Havana-Brigade 2506 Cubans in Miami.
Starting on January 20th of 1961, John F. Kennedy had just One Thousand Days as President of the United States. I believe that the United States, Cuba, and the world would be better off today if he had lived to have a second term as President of the United States. Despite his faults, he was a brilliant and good people-loving man.
"A day of infamy in Dallas."
