Few Approve of US Cuban Embargo

 Yet It Flourishes AFTER 6+ Decades!!

   The photo above shows Cuba's First Lady Lis Cuesta escorting Spain's Queen Letizia around Havana.
    But more typical photos show Lis Cuesta walking the streets in Havana and other Cuban cities with her husband Miguel Diaz-Canel, the President of Cuba. Lis Cuesta is ubiquitous in her advocacy for the importance of Cuba "to survive the genocidal attempts of a few criminals in the United States to dictate terror to generations of people in Cuba, just as the U. S. helped Batista and the Mafia to dictate terror to Cubans, especially against women and mothers, prior to the triumph of the Revolution in January of 1959. That achievement compares with all the great historical worldwide achievements, and so does our survival as a nation since January of 1959."
    For sure, Lis Cuesta often uses Social Media platforms to make her points. Yesterday -- Oct. 3, 2022 -- she posted the message above on Twitter and Google. It is shown in both Spanish and English as she says "WE ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP THE REVOLUTION," meaning that recent attempts in the summer of 2022 by the U. S. to expand the Embargo/Blockade has direly hurt the people in Cuba but won't overthrow the Cuban Revolution.
   Indeed, any Google search {as above} about the Embargo/Blockade starts with worldwide condemnation of history's longest Embargo ever imposed by a powerful nation against any much weaker nation.
    Indeed, apart from the U. S. media organizations, worldwide sources get coverage for begging the United States to end the Embargo.
   But, indeed, at least one unbiased U. S. journalist and long-time Cuban expert, Tim Padgett, was courageous enough to discuss {above} why the U. S. has refused Cuba's request for help after recent explosions and fires have destroyed prime Cuban economic, energy, and tourist entities such as...the island's main power  plant {above} in Matanzas 65 miles southeast of Havana; the Muriel Economic Zone 30 miles southwest of Havana; and even the total destruction of the iconic Saratoga Hotel in the heart of Havana. In fact, instead of getting help from the U. S. during recent disasters and hurricanes, many Cubans in Cuba believe the fires and explosions are sabotage, not accidents.
     The huge headline and photo above were flashed around the world by the Voice of America, the vast tax-supported worldwide media source that reflects U. S. positions. This report explains why the desperate situations in Cuba are causing record numbers of Cubans to risk their lives to come to the United States. In the photo above two sisters are seen comforting their mother who was distraught when she learned that her young son had died as he was trying to survive the "dangerous trip across the Florida Straits."
    The distraught Cuban mother who lost a son in 2022 reminds Cubans of the mother and sister in 1976 {above} who lost their son and brother, a teenage athlete, when a terrorist bomb sent the civilian Cubana Flight 455 into the ocean, killing all 72 persons on board, including two dozen teenage athletes who were returning from Caracas after just winning a Central American championship.
         But, of course, in 2022 it is not just Cubans trying to cross the dangerous Florida Straits to get to the U. S., but for months thousands more have been easily crossing the porous U.S.-Mexican border to get to the U. S...as key conservative TV networks like Fox and Newsmax have been reporting daily all year. But now, as shown above, even liberal networks such as CNN are reporting that "Cubans are arriving to the US in record numbers. Smugglers are profiting from their exodus." Indeed, there are people who are "profiting" from the disastrous U.S.-Cuban relations in this new month of October in the year of 2022. And, indeed, for six+ decades the disastrous U.S.-Cuban relations have been allowed to exist because a few key people have been "profiting" from it FOR THE PAST SIX+ DECADES.
    Yes, even CNN used the word "profiting." Is that why Americans, for all these decades, have been programmed not to be ashamed of the worldwide image shown above? Even as the UN as well as most nations and people worldwide are ashamed of this image, is "profiting" by some people the reason it exists...decade AFTER decade? {Just asking, just asking}.
