Washington Making Nice With Havana – Cubans Beware
So Cuba and the United States are making nice?
In a move to wipe away one of the Cold War's last vestiges, President Barack Obama will launch negotiations with Cuba on resuming full diplomatic relations five decades after they broke off, a U.S. official told Yahoo News on Wednesday. Obama's decision comes after Cuba freed U.S. aid contractor Alan Gross.
The U.S. will free the last three of the Cuban Five while Cuba also released an unknown U.S. "asset".
Alan Gross was a contractor for U.S. Aid on a clandestine mission to, allegedly, distribute secret satellite telephones to circumvent Cuba's control of its electromagnetic spectrum.
It is interesting that this news comes the very same day as the head of U.S.Aid, Raj Shah, was fired. Was his firing a condition the Cuban's made for the prisoner exchange?
Shah spoke to us Tuesday night, but gave very little insight into why he was leaving now other than the oft-cited government official reason that after six years working in the Obama administration he wanted to spend time with his family.
Shah had to go after several stupid clandestine attempts by U.S. Aid, the Alan Gross scheme, creating a fake Cuban Twitter, holding fake HIV prevention seminars and infiltrating Cuba's hip hop scene, to undermine Cuba's political system.
But should indeed a U.S. embassy return to Havana that job will fall again to the CIA. Cuba should be very worried about that. The only reason why the U.S. government has never fallen to a CIA coup is the lack of a U.S. embassy in Washington DC.
There is no reason for Cuba to trust the U.S. and it should be very careful about opening the country. It is not only the U.S. Aid meddling or the Cuban missile crisis, (which eliminated U.S. nuclear weapons in Turkey pointing at Moscow), that give reason for caution, but also the various other attack plans and assassination attempts against Cuban leaders. There are also all the recent "regime operations" the U.S. ran and runs in Ukraine, Libya, Syria, Hongkong and elsewhere. Whatever it may say publicly the U.S. will certainly continue to undermine Cuba's socialist system and to press for "regime change".
Cubans should recognize that any embrace by the U.S. is at least suffocating if not deadly for their self-determination.
Remember ebola and Africa …
The UN health agency reported that as of December 10, there had been 18,188 cases of infection from the deadly virus in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, of whom 6,583 people had died.
… the US contirbution there was before the fact : a biowarfare lab working to weaponize ebola … so it could then make a defense for the unnatural weapon it had created – that’s their story and they’re stickin’ to it.
The Cuban contribution, after the fact, was doctors and nurses on the ground and helping those struck down, while everyone else … the big, ‘developed nations’ … were still at the ‘gee, that’s sooooo sad’ stage … and the US was taking the opportunity to send more troops to occupy Liberia.
There could not have been a more poignant show-and-tell comparison of the two countries : one a small, compassionate, socialist country, reaching out to help the victims. A country whose very existence is in spite of 50 years of economic warfare and subversion by the other, the gigantic, murderous, metastasizing, capitalist, superpower – which may well have been responsible for the outbreak in the first place, and is/was definitely responsible for trying in every way possible to destroy that same, small, socialist country … and failing … for fifty f’in years, but certainly not for lack of trying.
Now, as faith-in the USA has collapsed, and been replace by hatred ALL around the world – and absolutely rightly so – Obama makes this cynical, empty gesture, thinking he’ll put Cuba in the shadow … striding out into the spotlight himself … Mr Big Heart – the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate/Drone Assassin … and the f’in Argentine-junta-lovin’ Pope holds his hand above his head.
The US embargo stays in place …
“a line of action that makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and the overthrow of the [Castro] government.”
… and is duplicated in Iran, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, Russia … Barack Obama is an abomination : the CIA with stage presence, attempting this torturous lie. I don’t imagine anyone is fooled about the US’ or Obama’s intentions but those who voted for him – and ask only to be fooled, again and again and again.
