AND WHY THE U. S. BLOCKADES CUBA!!
In this second week of September-2022 the two photos above have flashed around the world because they were taken by Yamil Lage who works in Cuba for the powerful Paris-based AFP News Agency. Among the top news sources that featured the twin images above were the USA's Associated Press and NBC News.
Above is the blazing headline and photo that the USA's AP and NBC News and others have spread around the United States this week. Of course, Americans are not supposed to pay any attention to such articles because it relates to Cuba's denunciation of both the U. S. Blockade of the island and it also explains why the U. S. has Cuba on its very, very short list of the nation's that the U. S. claim are "SPONSORS OF TERRORISM." And, of course, the U. S. says Cuba is on the list because the little nation just below Florida continually commits vicious terror acts against the Superpower United States. That, of course, is a vicious but very convenient lie although, as the headline says, it is "illegitimate and immoral." Cuba claims that the true reason the U. S. has Cuba on its Terror List is: "BECAUSE IT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER FOR POLITICALLY POWERFUL CUBANS IN MIAMI TO SUE CUBA IN FLORIDA COURTROOMS FOR ANYTHING THEY WANT TO SUE CUBA FOR, with the U. S. GOVERNMENT BACKING UP SUCH LAWSUITS.
And of course, either Cuba or the U. S. is lying about why the U. S. has Cuba on its Terror List. Most honest historians and journalists believe, on this particular issue, Cuba is the nation that is not lying. At least, in the article this week by the Associated Press and NBC News Americans were provided Cuba's side of the "terrorism" story in which little Cuba claims that, since 1959, the superpower U. S. routinely doesn't mind committing vicious terror acts against Cuba...such as the terrorist bomb that blew the civilian Cuban Flight 455 into the ocean, killing all 72 souls aboard, including two dozens teenage Cuban athletes. Meanwhile, Cuba admits that since 1959 it is direly concerned with defending itself but "does not PROVOKE THE U. S. FURTHER BY COMMITTING TERRORISM."
Normally in the U. S. media regarding US-Cuba issues only the opinions of Miami counter revolutionary Cubans are featured. But, as shown above, in the above AP-NBC News this week, at least a chief Cuban spokesman was allowed to present Cuba's side.
The Cuban official charged with presenting Cuba's side of the U.S.-Cuban conundrum is Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, a man who is actually respected on both sides of the Florida Straits. That's why, thanks to President Obama's overtures to normalize relations with Cuba, Carlos was expected to be Cuba's Ambassador in Washington till President Trump, to appease Miami with promises to finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, quickly ended all of Obama's decency towards the Cuban people in Cuba. And, yes, Carlos was with 12 of his staff in the Cuban embassy in Washington when they ducked in terror when they were being threatened as 30 or so high-powered rifle shots pounded their embassy in Washington. In the above article this second week in September-2022, and whenever afforded other forums, Carlos has stressed the need for "Cuba and the United States to be friendly neighbors, for the good majority of people in each country." When invited to speak before business groups in Miami and Tampa, Carlos made these pertinent points: "I speak for Cuba when I say that I have great respect and admiration for the United States democracy. Many area companies eagerly desire trade with Cuba but it seems they are stymied by a few who do not want that to happen. That is why Americans, in this great democracy, are not told why the Embargo since 1962 has caused so much suffering for everyday Cuban families, and Americans deserve to know the reason for the Embargo as stated by the 1962 act itself. It was...and is...to induce Cubans on the island to overthrow their own government after the 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack and then many terrorist acts, including assassination attempts, didn't overthrow it. Americans are also not told such things as why Cuba is on the U. S. list of Sponsors of Terror. The reason is to help the lawsuits against Cuba in Florida courtrooms. Lying about such things such as the Embargo and the Terrorist List is something that helps a small number of bad people while it hurts most Cubans and Americans who are good people. Sunshine should remove the clouds that disguise such lies, and by the same token unbiased sources in the United States should criticize Cuba whenever those sources legitimately believe that Cuba is lying. I assure you, as Cuba's diplomat devoted to U. S. issues, I deplore any forms of terror. And I desire decent trade between the two neighbors."
Of course, even non-Cubans like Bush, Scott, and DeSantis can actually get elected Governor of Florida but only if they support 100% of Miami's beloved Cuban policies such as the Blockade and having Cuba on the USA's Sponsors of Terrorism list. WONDERFUL!!
A Florida governor looking down at Cuba??
