Blockaded But At Least Let Them SPEAK!!

 

     For six decades the strongest nation in the world, the United States, has imposed an economic embargo against a nearby much-smaller nation, Cuba. It is a glaring situation {depicted above} that most people and most nations in the world consider to be a genocidal blockade. Yet...the United States and the mainstream U. S. media consider it worthwhile although its prime purpose, which is to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, somehow has not occurred in the last six decades...and counting!!

    Each day Cuban Headlines circulate around the word, almost always promoting the endless Embargo/Blockade. EXCEPT, alas, today in mid-April of 2023, the Top Cuban Headline not only doesn't promote the Embargo/Blockade but, ACTUALLY, gives powerful voices to young Cuban women in Cuba who vividly are permitted to expressions opinions about what they believe is a genocidal assualt on Cuban families like theirs. The Top Headline above comes from the Democracy Now! television network and is entitled: "Cuban Journalist: U.S.-Cuba Talks..."

     The Havana-based journalist who is now in the U. S. and wants to tell Americans about how the U. S. embargo hurts her family, her mother's family, and all the Cuban families in Cuba is Liz Oliva Fernandez. After she speaks about it on U. S. soil, Liz will return to Cuba to help Cuban families and she won't migrate to the rich Cuban conclave of Little Havana in Miami.

     For sure, Liz Oliva Fernandez is an Award-Winning Journalist and Documentarian that has actual and honest first-hand views about how Cuban families are forced to live all their lives on the island "in crisis" because of the endless U. S. blockade. Thus, even in the U. S., she knows that most of the U. S. media will not listen to a word that she says. But Liz also knows that the Democracy Now! television network will allow her to speak to Americans in her perfect English.

     Anchor Amy Goodman gave ample time for Liz Oliva Fernandez to speak on her trip to the USA.

    Obviously, there will always be a few rich and powerful people in the U. S. democracy that benefit from and support the endless U. S. embargo of Cuba. But the young Havana journalist/documentarian Liz Oliva Fernandez both knows and lives the truth. Her exact words shown above thanks to Democracy Now! television included "...I have been in crisis my entire life. My mom has lived in crisis in my entire life. The biggest cause of this crisis is the sanctions that the United States put against Cuba..."

   In her Award Winning {Gracie Award, etc.} documentary "The War On Cuba" it was clear that Liz Oliva Fernandez blamed the ultra-powerful U. S. media for not telling the truth about...the war on Cuba.

     "WHAT DO YOUNG CUBAN WOMEN HAVE TO SAY?" Well, young Cuban women like Sandra, Yadira, and Liz Oliva Fernandez -- when allowed to speak -- say things such as, "EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER SEEN ABOUT CUBA IS A LIE."

    As a brilliant young journalist and documentarian, Liz Oliva Fernandez lives in Havana and has no desire to migrate to Little Havana USA. But she wants Americans to know how much the endless U. S. embargo has hurt and is hurting another generation of Cuban families on her island. I think that makes Liz a Cuban heroine.
