In this last week of October of 2023 the President of Mexico, Manuel Lopez Obrador, is leading the fight against U. S. policies against Cuba, specifically the six=decade-old economic Embargo/Blockade. He says: "Back in the 1950s the U. S. profited enormously when the Mafia-led Batista dictatorship plundered and brutalized the island, creating the Cuban Revolution that has since been assaulted by the United States because it ceased the plunder while the U. S. has not permitted Cuba since 1959 to chart its new course, which includes needing to be a U. S. trade partner. Meanwhile, to pacify a few politically powerful Cubans in Miami and Congress, the U. S. has used its enormous military and financial power to starve and otherwise torment the masses of Cubans in their vulnerable country. I say today that it is time that the rest of Latin America and the rest of the world has the decency and courage to exert some restraint against such foreign assaults and not just remain cowardly afraid of the world's most powerful nation. Cuba should be America's helpful friend, not an enemy to please a few rich U. S. and Washington Cubans. All of Latin America deserses for Cuba to be treated decently and sanely by the United States." In the session above, President Obrador explained that Mexico is still purchasing the respected anti-Covid Cuban vaccine Abdala, is trying to get fuel to Cuba to prevent the island's blackouts, and is hoping to get support from Latin America and elsewhere "to let other nations understand that the U. S. Embargo is straving Cuban families, not overthrowing Cuban leaders."
Above is a Declaration that Mexico's President Lopez Obrador got other nations to sign on October 23rd, 2023. It is related to "the Blockade by the United States against Cuba." He also said that Mexico has tried to influence other powerful nations, including China and Russia, to more eagerly denounce "the Bloqueo."
As the worldwide Reuters News Agency headline above shows, President Obrador is also urging U. S. President Joe Biden "to finally end all of the Trump-imposed Cuban sanctions against Cuba, including the lie about Cuba being a Sponsor of Terror. Cuba is a a victim of terror, and that includes the U. S. blockade that is staving the Cuban people.
But while President Obrador {above} is busy gaining support from the region and around the world for the end of the U. S. Blockade of Cuba, the supporters and benefactors of the Blockade use the mainstream media to keep it firmly in place.
Above today on October 25th-2023 the Top Cuban Headlines reveal why the U. S. Blockade of Cuba has existed for over 60 years and might exist for another six decades or so. As usual, today the headline from the Miami Herald tops the anti-Cuba/pro Blockade parade, always saluting the long ago Batista regime and promoting the not-so-nice results of the Miami-laced U. S. sanctions on the island, namely the Blockade.
Yes, the Miami Herald headline above salutes Blockade-related heartaches in Cuba: "Nearly 425,000 Cubans have migrated to the U.S. in the past two years, U. S. figures show."
In sessions like the one shown above this week, Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel himself is discussing the topic that the Miami Herald is chortling about, the fact that the dire consequences of the U. S. Blockade is, indeed, causing many young adult Cubans to leave the island because of drastic economic hardships in Cuba. As Cuba's population dips below 11,000 people, President Diaz-Canel admits: "For sure, the U. S. blockade is exacerbating the fact that our ageing population is being harmed severely by the loss of so many talented and well-educated young people deciding they can no longer survive the blockade. I understand that fact, and we are doing everything we can to try to stop such tides. But 61 years of the blockade, especially the last five years during the Trump-Biden era, have seemed to reach genocidal levels for too many of our children and young adults."
But Cuba calls it a genocidal Blockade!!
