Only A Few Benefactors Approve of Cuban Embargo

 Yet...it has existed for over 6 decades!!

While more-and-more consider it Genocide.

     For decades Oxfam, the influential worldwide human rights group that closely monitors the plights of women and girls, has begged the United States to lift its ageless blockade of Cuba because women and girls in Cuba "have a right to live without a blockade." Of course, from its offices in Washington and around the world Oxfam's pleas have always been totally ignored by decision-makers in Washington that, many believe, have taken orders regarding Cuba only from a few extreme anti-Cuban zealots or benefactors.

     Every year for decades almost every one of the 190 nations in the United Nations have voted strongly for the United States to end the Embargo against Cuba, usually with only the U. S. and Israel voting to keep it. Of course, the superpower U. S. has always totally and routinely ignored such worldwide pleas regarding Cuba. Meanwhile, decades of cowardly generations of Americans have been easily programmed not to be ashamed about the image depicted above that defines how the multitudes of the world's braver and more compassionate people view the Embargo.

    Unfortunately, when it comes to politicians or journalists, there are only a scant few Americans who have the integrity or expertise to openly oppose the U. S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba. But professor/author/journalist William M. LeoGrande has spent decades telling everyone about the plights of masses of Cuban families on the island being starved, deprived, and made miserable -- or worse -- to appease a handful of rich and politically powerful Americans. As we enter the second week in December of 2022 Mr. LeoGrande, not surprisingly, has penned the best update on the USA's unpopular assaults on the Cuban people.

    In his article this week William M. LeoGrande, as shown above, points out that in December of 2022 Cuba remains the greatest "symbol" of the USA's imperative designs on Latin America...namely, "Washington's policy of coercive regime change {which President Donald Trump extended to {Cuba's friends} Venezuela and Nicaragua reminds Latin Americans of the bad old days...!!" In other words, in December of 2022, Mr. LeoGrande has the courage and intelligence to remind everyone of the "bad old days" when the U. S. backed coups to eliminate a democratically elected President of Chile, Fidel Castro's dear friend Salvador Allende, because President Nixon-Henry Kissinger got a ultra-brutal Chilean dictator named Augusto Pinochet that would allow U. S. companies to rape & rob Chile at will...for the next 17 brutal years. The death of Allende and the emergence of Pinochet in Chile responds to the "bad old days" when the powerful and unchecked U. S. ran roughshod over Latin America to appease greedy U. S. businessmen. At least in December of 2022 a great supreme expert on Latin America, William M. LeoGrande, "hopes" that the current era of the Trump-Biden administrations can refrain from "reminding" everyone of how the U. S.'s "bad old days" throughout Latin America should at least finally end. Study or further dial-up Mr. LeoGrande's words. LeoGrande's plea below starts with the words "Might we hope..."

    The date was September 11, 1973 when the democratically elected President of Chile, Salvador Allende, died in his presidential office after he had repeatedly fired his rifle {an engraved inaugural gift from Fidel Castro} from an upstairs window at Pinochet tanks and soldiers in the street below. Thus, Latin American experts like Professor LeoGrande in December of 2022 still remember SEPTEMBER 11-1973 as a historic reminder of the "bad old days" in Latin America when the U. S. had friendly relations with dictators like...Pinochet, Somoza, and Trujillo -- all of whom shared the USA's hatred of Revolutionary Cuba, of course.

   After the death of President Salvador Allende in the coup on September 11-1973, Augusto Pinochet was Chile's dictator until 1990. There are historic reasons why Pinochet's reign reminds many historians of Latin America's "bad old days." And both historically and topically, Cuba poignantly -- perhaps more than any other nation -- was/is a prime catalyst in all that history.

"The bad old days."
For Latin America, Chile, and Cuba.

     Meanwhile...for over six decades Americans have been told to accept the premise that this is a lovely image of the United States of America. But the rest of the world, and a few Americans like William M. LeoGrande, have both the courage and the intelligence to disagree.
