I been to Cuba once and I loved it....I want to go back ....WOO HOO!!! Its the best place to visit!!!!!!!!!!!!....make sure you take alot of many though cuz is not cheap!!!
• To those of you who have no side on Cuba; If you are a freedom loving person then you may read all the lies about Cuba and believed them. I would ask that you please don't. I have visited the Island several times. There I found what the nature of freedom is: You can't have the freedom "to" if you don't have the freedom "from". You want to do whatever, say whatever, and explore whatever you want. But it's hard to do that if you're not free from hunger, disease, injury and ignorance (continued).
• ...Thats is one of the goals of socialism. To take the value created by industries in any given nation and put to collective use for all in said same nation such as food rationing, free medical care, and free schools (at all levels). For if a person is homeless, hungry, injured, contracted pneumonia, and is uneducated then what good is the freedom "to"? This is exactly what Cuba is trying to achieve. The problem is the embargo. It's putting the building of socialism through a hindered pace.
Fidel is not a dictator. Dictators don't teach the poor literacy. Dictators don't arm the people from the threat of invasion. Dictators don't provide free medical care. Dictators don't ration the food products among the people. Dictators don't cut off diplomatic ties with Israel over the mistreatment of Palestinians. Dictators don't organize teams of doctors to go and provide free medical care to the poor in third world countries. If Castro is a Dictator then he is the strangest one there is.
Right now I think is a god time for relations to improve. There are no hot button issues that envoke the visceral emotional issues that divide ur two nations. We can sit down and rationally solve some of the small issues and hopefully build up the momentum to solve the larger issues a bit later on.
While some Americans can't move because they're morbidly obese,Cubans are struggling to survive on a daily basis.Excess is human gangrene and while Americans are voluntarily crippling themselves,they wonder why they are "the most hated nation in the world".How arrogant to impose an embargo on a country that did not declare war on any other country,while America declares one on average per presidency.
las ratas comunistas afro-tainas y los gusanos comunistoides liberaloides floridos son escoria. Pobres cubanotos, son los sirivientes y esclavos de los judios.
Once again Obama lied. Cuba made no effort to show any good will in the human rights department. but Obama is loosening the restrictions on travel to and trade with Cuba against the objections of our Cuban American politicians in Floroida.
Obama needs to stop waiting for Castro to die. If I was president I would lift the embargo period. China and Russia are communist. Also force Harry Reid to stop being a pussy and give a Public Option.
I was born in Cuba raised in the usa a,, yes manilaenglish cuban's have the right to Education and Healthcare but guess what? They don't have the right to freedom? Am been told what to do day in and day out? You have no idea what you are talking about because i would rather work for my Education and Healthcare and pay for it but have my freedom at the same time.
What I tried to say at the bottom, though I didn't have the space to write is, is that IF Cuba were to life the travel restrictions on it's citizens, unrestrict the internet, and allow freedom of speech then it would be a near perfect system. Or at least make an already great system even better!
We Americans must learn from the Cubans. Lift the childish Embargo.
Nationalize healthcare, education, and provide basic housing to who needs it
@manilaenglish I was born in Cuba raised in the usa a,, yes manilaenglish cuban's have the right to Education and Healthcare but guess what? They don't have the right to freedom?

@LadeOnline I never said Cuba is perfect. If it sounded like I implied it, I'm sorry. Think about those who would pay the million dollars to cure their cancer if they could, but because they're 24 and born poor, they can't. Sure those are the few, but they exist. Or now, they don't exist because they're dead. The health care system as it exists in America today is "your money or your life." I have been too critical of my country. I'm sorry. I should have never forgotten I came from America.
Cuba is an enslaved narco-communist puppet regime serving the Us interests.
Cuba is a jumboard and base to smuggle cocaine into Florida but all cuban people in te island are impoverished and in extreme poverty. They learn to read but they don't have acces to internet , and then can't buy books.
Private property and banks do not exist in the island.
Cocaine smugglers use cubans as burreros and servants.
@DonAlebrije look in first place Cubais not a narco-communist regime, you have to be a fucking indigenous mexican crackhead for you to say that. have you ever been to Cuba?? i dont think so..... Do you think that every country is Mexico, poor country, where rapes and killings happen. Mexico is the country that smuggles cocaine, crack and weed to the USA..... Indigenas cochinos y muertos de hambre............
it's so hard to say and really put it in words but poor obama he really had a hard time to try an make a poin ojala se oiga en cuba hope they hear this in Cuba.
@Nezahualcoyotl7 kieres decir ke las los millones de putas mexicanas ke exilian para aca en estados unidos tampoko tienen patria ?o ke americanos ke viven en otros paises ya no tienen patria ?kien te dijo ke el gobierno me va a decir ami si yo soy cubano o no ?anormal ABAJO CASTRO VIVA CUBA LIBRE CHUPENME LA PINGA ABAJO OBAMA
@Nezahualcoyotl7 Imperio Mexicano Estadounidense? jajajjajaa es la estupides mas grande que he escuchado en toda mi vida. primeramente los unicos esclavos son ustedes de los EE.UU, vienen aqui como ratas que son a robar, matgar, abusar de mujeres y ninos, a mendigar papeles y humillarse como mierda que son. ARRIBA LA sb1070... no AMNESTY to Mexicans
Great first step allowing families to see each other again or for the 1st time. Next step is the BIG ONE, and probably the one that the Castro regime would NEVER do. Admit your govt failed as Cuba has fallen from what it once was to what it is today, AND make restitution for Taking People's property and their life savings bec they DIDN'T agree with this crappy ass govt . WE saw back in 59 what everyone sees today, NO PROGRESS, NO RESULTS, NO MODEL TO LIVE BY, YOU HAVE FAILED as "leaders"...
I am a Cuban American. My family fled Cuba when my parents were small. They knew what turn the country was about to make and so they left. Family members of mine were murdered. My family's properties were taken away. Guns shoved in their faces in their own homes with their children watching. Is this the 'change' you people want??? You want your every move to be monitored, dicated and subject to sentencing? That is what you get with communism.
So, before you start talking crap about a country and a group of people that you don't know and involving a city that has welcomed the "freaks" and "spics" that hillbillies reject and take for granted, please, state facts. Not just opinions and stereotypical comments. And Mexico btw...will never reach US status. Nor is it a capitalist country. Cancun and Cabo San Lucas are not the real Mexico. They are the American's playground. Don't judge a country by a tourist spot.
The Cuban people have been backstabbed by not only their leaders, but by the US as well (Kennedy). The people as a whole are hard working people that have only known communism all of their lives. They flee to Miami because at least there they have more of an opportunity to make something of themselves, and they do it successfully (Peter Pan Project).
Ok...first of all, I would love to know where you people are even from. Apparently, you have nooooo idea what is going on in the world, let alone any of Cuba's history.
i was reading all the crap you guys were writing about cuba about castro and it doesnt make sense at all wat so ever. people who usually express them selfs is beacuse there education level is ZERO! du to the fact that they dont have is due to the fact they dont have any political knowleg when you express ur self only with "fuck" u aint nothing buy a loser that doesnt know how to begin a conversation about anything at all. thank you very much i have an education
not cool at yall iam cuban and black and really dont like the way you puting us dwn SO FUCK U dnt blame a group of ppl on 1 mans faults SO FUCK U obama is doin a good job at least tryna get cuba and the us to get along and i thank him for that cause i would like to go to cuba so that i could c my family SO I SAY FUCK U AND YOUR DUM ASS LIFE.
The filthy communist cubans hate the USA and Mexico's capitalism and democracy. These filthy anti-american spic-comie gusanos live in banana republic of miami, surrounded of other freaky minorities unwanted in America.
Oh Yeah, A big FUCK YOU if you talk bad about our country and care about what the other assholes in this world think of us. FUCK YOU if you don't support our troops. FUCK YOU!!!!
Fuck Castro, Fuck Cuba, Fuck communism, Fuck socialism and definitely FUCK OBAMA!!! and Fuck you if you don't like it. Fuck you in advance for all your negative replies. Fuck you if you voted for this shoe shine boy!
Communism was too powerful to fight & that's why JFK wanted to play ball with the communists, it's too bad he got shot because if he had continued he would've renamed our nation the United Communist States of America. If you can't beat em, join em. Communism has never been tried in the US. Don't you think it's high time? It's time for a radical experiment .
Capitalism is more dangerous than Communism, Capitalism nearly destroyed this world in 1962, Communism saved it, thank god JFK was our president & wanted to bring the world together. Thank you Karl Marx ! Capitalism scares me & that's what we should all be afraid of.
By 1961 Cuba was officially declared a Lenin-Marxist state & the CIA & the Cuban exiles were planning to kill Castro & failed. By this point the only way the US could benefit from Cuba was to allow a communist take over in America which JFK was trying to do before he got knocked off.
Hey mopsius, no one appointed Castro, he appointed himself. Are you implying that the Batista overthrow was staged? When Castro overthrew him the US was trying to get Castro to comply. The US & the Cuban elite along with the US government & the the Mafia had a very thriving & lucrative enterprise in Cuba. 70% of the companies were owned by the US. Why would they risk all that by changing dictators especially with someone they weren't going to like & wasn't going to comply like Castro.
es hora señor presidente que haya un cambio de politica con cuba,necesitamos ayuda incondicional e inmediata,pero nada de guerra ni intervenciones en su politica interior,lo que pueda hacer hagalo y punto.....pero sea ud original y rompa esa traba en la amistad de los dos paises.....sin rencores....es hora del cambio...pero en todos los sentidos....esperamos eso de ud todo el planeta...gracias
:D...por favor..seamos serios. El unico cambio que se puede y debe esperar con Cuba es en relacion a los cubanos en Miami. Amistad con un regimen criminal como el de Castro???. Se enfriara primero el infierno!.
heheh, verdad, hombre....no huelen el foquing cafe', eh, 'mano... you people are soooo blind, wow. what communist country has done ANYTHING for good? i defend the communist part in america, they did alot for people's rights and i doubt a little socialism would hurt but no commi gov please!!!
Communism is where it's at, I don't know why us Americans are so afraid of it. Before McCarthyism, Communism was not seen as a "threat", we have McCarthy to thank for that, this "Red Scare" propaganda was just that. And here's the hypocracy, before the "witchhunt", the Communist were our allies, FDR, Churchill &..........STALIN ! Lets fast forward now, we Americans are doing business with China, a Communist nation. Seems only sensible to rename our nation the United Communist States of America
Allow me to remain you an "small" detail....Stalin sigh the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact with Hitler...he was as criminal and fascist as Himmler it self. Another fucking murderer!. yes..we're still concern about communism...you know why?...because it take innocent lives on the name of his crazy and useless ideology. We will never surrender to those bastards!.
Castro didn't steal from the US, we Americans & the Cuban exiles stole from the Cuban people. Castro put us in our place & gave us a taste of our own medicine & taught us a lesson when he kicked us out. Unlike the Communists, the Capitalists & the Nazis have no morals.
We Americans got what we deserved when we tried to attack Cuba & Castro paid us back & got our asses spanked. The anti-Castro exiles found themselves on the wrong side & paid with their lives.Serves them right for teaming up with us Yanks & for being traitors against their own people. This was 1961, & 2 years later the CIA & the US government murdered our president JFK for playing ball with the Communists, & then tried to blame Castro.

We Americans were horrible, we stink. We imposed our "Capitalist" agenda on Cuban soil with no regard for the Cuban people, & if that wasn't bad enough we tortured & murdered them thru Batista. Shame on us stinking Americans. Things were running like a well oiled machine until Castro threw a monkey wrench in the works & gave the Cubans back their country along with their pride, dignity & freedom.
We Americans need to try a Communist Experiment, we need a new system where the workers have the right to run the country & kill all these Capitalists & criminal parasites that leech off the workers. United we stand ! Divided we fall ! We need a one world government & I vote for Karl Marx.
If Castro was such a horrible dictator believe you me he would've been removed from power a long time ago. People are only going to take so much. Example: Saddam Hussein, we Americans overthrew him & took him down remember ? He didn't do us or his people any good at all. Long live the Revolution & Fidel Castro.
"[Israel's ]Peled called for the formation of a new body intended to influence American public opinion. The groups he suggests courting include Hispanic Americans and labor unions in industries that benefit from Israeli military acquisitions."
"The very name Coca-Cola is the world's second-most-understood word, after "OK." It comes from a global company that "wants to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony," as its most famous ad said. This is what English-speaking, America-loving Vicente Fox has embodied. Felipe Calderon shares these values, supports Israel, and is said to be "even more of a New World Order guy" than President Fox or the two presidents named Bush."
Every state should be run by a union leader, all the unions from each state will come together. 50 states, 50 union leaders along with the workers running the nation so Obama can decentralize. The labor union needs to be transformed into a political network & collectively run the country. And do away with the 2 party system & flush it down the toilet ! ! All workers unite, we have nothing to loose but our chains & strike against the government & become the United Communist States Of America !
The Mexican Revolution preceded the Russian and it is still going strong, at its own pace.
That is exactly why the US Neo-Cons and Capitalists have targeted Mexico, which they want to destabilize and make a dependent of US predatory capitalism.
"In the early twentieth century, many intellectuals and artists associated with the European avant-gardes were fascinated by ... by Mexico in particular: for the French artist and leader of the Surrealist movement André Breton, for instance, Mexico was almost the incarnation of Surrealism...as...David Bordwell notes, "like many Leftists, Eisenstein was impressed that Mexico has created a socialist revolution in 1910"
Obama is the most transformational President since JFK. It is predicted that by the end of his term, America will be radically "different ", how different remains to be seen, I'm hoping that he will take our nation all the way to the far left. As Michael Moore said "we are seeing the end of Capitalism", it's just a matter of time when a Marxist Revolution will haapen, first in the UK than the US. For Communism to work in the US, every state needs to be led by a union leader, all workers unite.
Obama I dig you man, but Cuba doesn't need to change. From 1970 til the collapse of Russia, Fidel Castro showed the world that Communism worked, after 1989 Cuba fell, Castro's Socialist Paradise crumbled. Socialism cannot survive in isolation & in the face of opposing political systems & government. The US needs to change, once the US becomes Communist, every other nation will swing into line & Communism will achieve world domination & a global utopian Socialist Paradise.
Cepiyotl I find it interesting that you put ALL Cuban exiles under one & label us all f-a-g-g-o-t-s. I would think that if I labled ALL Mexicans under an equally nasty name (I also find that word offensive to Gays) that would be offensive to you, as it should be. NOT ALL EXILES are the same, the days of the old exiles being of "one mind" are long gone. I suggest you try talking to some other Cuban exiles to see MANY of us are against the embargo. No somos todos igual no sea estúpido chico.
mopsius it must be awful living in a country you dislike so much? I know how that feels when you're living under a system that you are against. Is there no other country out there that you are more in line with? I know once I left Cuba & came here I felt a great sense of relief & freedom. While no country is perfect & I'll not agree with many things done by the US, right now this is my country & I CHOOSE to live here which is wonderful. Hope you find your country one day!
pardollada llo se que es verdad lo que dice. Gente como él no pueden ver la verdad, sólo ven un lado de las cosas. Trato de dar mi opinión de modo que haya otra perspectiva. Pero sé que él nunca cambiará y no me preocupa eso. ¿Tal vez soy un agente secreto tambien? (ha, ha, ha) hay mucha gente estúpida que creen que son expertos de Cuba. que nunca han vivido la realidad de lo que es Cuba.
mopsius I'm NOT misled as I've lived under the wonderful Fidel Castro system as have many others. I'm NOT an extremist however which is something people like you can't seem to grasp. I see the US for what it is with the good & the bad & speak out against things I disagree with which is something I couldn't do in Cuba. What amazes me is how many "Cuban experts" there are who have absolutely NO real concept of what Cuba is & speak out so quickly against the US but can only praise the Cuban system
"According to a report by Israels Foreign Ministry, the South American nations of Venezuela and Bolivia are secretly supplying uranium for Irans nuclear program as part of a plan to undermine the US, which publicly objects to the civilian energy program...."

Ah, the Real Politik of the Wall becomes clear now--Mexico and Cuba next, senores.
Cuba's comunist party members, basically the only ones that have open internet access lost IM ? How sad, what an injustice to the collaborators of a totalitarian closed society. Anaelena is right, take the embargo and all of King Fidel's excuses for his 50 year old disaster. Mopsius the jew hater would be better off in Cuba. He would have a life there cutting 'cane or wiping Fidel's ass as opposed to living in YouTube 24/7 spewing crappola
"Cuba criticized Microsoft on Friday for blocking its Messenger instant messaging service on the island and in other countries under U.S. sanctions, calling it yet another example of Washington's 'harsh' treatment of Havana."
The REAL joke is that ordinary Cubans have NO internet access anyway (Cuban govt driven) so who does this really affect in Cuba? All this does ia give Castro another opportunity to point the finger at the "imperialistic US" when in reality it really doesn't affect the Cuban people in ANY way. Again, Castro the master manipulator deflects from his gross human right violations & makes the US the bad guy. The embargo needs to end so this excuse is removed from his rhetoric, it's gotten old!
mopsius I'm NOT American so much for your keen "observations". Second of all Castro doesn't run Cuba on "his own" it's run by him and a handfull of Fidelistas & NOT the people. Third of all, when did you last live in Cuba so that you have such great first hand experience & "history"? I don't rely on "history" I rely on facts & personal experience. I & many others believed in the Revolution, but it let us down a LONG time ago & left us with no human rights. Stop the BS rhetoric, puppet of Castro
mopsius I am NO longer a victim since I left Cuba. You however are a victim of the rhetoric from the great est manipulator, Fidel Castro . How sad that he has managed to make & manipulate so many puppets throughout the world, you included. I feel sorry for you & again, I AM Cuban & I'm against ALL terrorists, don't agree with the US harboring any but now I can say that here & not fear that I'll have to pay for speaking my opinion. ¡Nací en Cuba y los EE.UU ha permitido que yo viva libre!
"President Hugo Chavez says Venezuela could eventually withdraw from the Organization of American States and seek Cuba's help to create an alternative regional group.
Chavez claims the OAS serves the interests of the United States. The Venezuelan leader has repeatedly criticized Cuba's expulsion from the organization in 1962 on grounds that its communist government went against the hemispheric body's principles..."
"Chavez said Monday that "Venezuela would love to join Cuba" as a nonmember.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez chimed in, saying Latin American and Caribbean nations should create an organization that "serves our people rather than the Empire," a reference to the United States...."

Among other things Chavez's party is teaching the people to read. Can't have that.
You remember who built the Wall, don't you senores:

The talent and expertise that Elbit Systems (NASDAQ ELST) has employed for years in protecting Israel's borders will now be put to use on US borders to keep Americans safe...."

"The reason Cubans in the island are in poverty is the failed centralised socialist policies that failed after the USSR disolved in 1990 and stopped propping Fidel up to the tune of 6 billion a year...."

"At an April 7 press conference...Obamas special advisor for the Summit of Americas Jeffrey Davidow announced the administrations new plan to provide U.S.-funded 'public safety' programs to other governments throughout the Western Hemisphere.

"Smithfield Foods the worlds largest producer of pork supports 16 farms in the area of the original outbreak. It uses a vertical integration method of intensive farming. Thousands of pigs are packed into barns, their waste flushed into open-air pits called lagoons.

"The 500,000 pigs at a single Smithfield subsidiary in Utah generate more fecal matter each year than the 1.5 million inhabitants of Manhattan. The best estimates put Smithfield's total waste discharge at 26 million tons a year. That would fill four Yankee Stadiums. Even when divided among the many small pig production units that surround the company's slaughterhouses, that is not a containable amount.:

"Oil, up to 20 billion barrels of it, sits off Cuba's northwest coast in territorial waters, according to the Cuban government -- enough to turn the island into the Qatar of the Caribbean. At a minimum, estimates by the U.S. Geological Survey place Cuba's potential deep-water reserves at 4.6 billion barrels of oil and 9.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, stores that would rank the island among the region's top producers..."
Pres. Obama is really no different than all of the other pres. we've had; he fights for the interests of the corporate class in the US. The fact that he's black means nothing. Sure there is some thawing between the two nations but Obama will continue the embargo. Cuba is still a threat to the American ruling class and the last hope for it's workers and farmers. The accusations posted by some members here about drugs and engineering the swine flu are groundless. Remeber what Ochoa did?
"Many people react with incredulity when the assertion is made that the so-called swine flu outbreak in Mexico may be manufactured crisis. And yet history is replete with examples of government using biological and chemical agents for political purpose.
As a primary example, consider the CIAs secret war against Cuba and Fidel Castro...."

American style capitalism is slavery. Americans don't even have a right to health care or education. ALL Cubans have this right regardless of money.
If the American doesn't have money he will die when he gets sick. Why should some people die at 35 so that others can live to be 100?

Or now, they don't exist because they're dead. The health care system as it exists in America today is "your money or your life." I have been too critical of my country. I'm sorry.

Cuba is an enslaved narco-communist puppet regime serving the Us interests.
Cuba is a jumboard and base to smuggle cocaine into Florida but all cuban people in te island are impoverished and in extreme poverty. They learn to read but they don't have acces to internet , and then can't buy books.
Private property and banks do not exist in the island.
Cocaine smugglers use cubans as burreros and servants.
I feel sorry for them.

Great first step allowing families to see each other again or for the 1st time. Next step is the BIG ONE, and probably the one that the Castro regime would NEVER do. Admit your govt failed as Cuba has fallen from what it once was to what it is today, AND make restitution for Taking People's property and their life savings bec they DIDN'T agree with this crappy ass govt . WE saw back in 59 what everyone sees today, NO PROGRESS, NO RESULTS, NO MODEL TO LIVE BY, YOU HAVE FAILED as "leaders"...

I am a Cuban American. My family fled Cuba when my parents were small. They knew what turn the country was about to make and so they left. Family members of mine were murdered. My family's properties were taken away. Guns shoved in their faces in their own homes with their children watching. Is this the 'change' you people want??? You want your every move to be monitored, dicated and subject to sentencing? That is what you get with communism.

So, before you start talking crap about a country and a group of people that you don't know and involving a city that has welcomed the "freaks" and "spics" that hillbillies reject and take for granted, please, state facts. Not just opinions and stereotypical comments. And Mexico btw...will never reach US status. Nor is it a capitalist country. Cancun and Cabo San Lucas are not the real Mexico. They are the American's playground. Don't judge a country by a tourist spot.

The Cuban people have been backstabbed by not only their leaders, but by the US as well (Kennedy). The people as a whole are hard working people that have only known communism all of their lives. They flee to Miami because at least there they have more of an opportunity to make something of themselves, and they do it successfully (Peter Pan Project).

By 1961 Cuba was officially declared a Lenin-Marxist state & the CIA & the Cuban exiles were planning to kill Castro & failed. By this point the only way the US could benefit from Cuba was to allow a communist take over in America which JFK was trying to do before he got knocked off.

Hey mopsius, no one appointed Castro, he appointed himself. Are you implying that the Batista overthrow was staged? When Castro overthrew him the US was trying to get Castro to comply. The US & the Cuban elite along with the US government & the the Mafia had a very thriving & lucrative enterprise in Cuba. 70% of the companies were owned by the US. Why would they risk all that by changing dictators especially with someone they weren't going to like & wasn't going to comply like Castro.

The US embargo was designed to strangle Cuba.
It hasn't worked, though it has kept Cuba money-poor.
Meanwhile the almighty dollar has collapsed, HAHAHA.
Now the US is aiming to steal more oil.

What bullshit paradollada retails:
"The reason Cubans in the island are in poverty is the failed centralised socialist policies that failed after the USSR disolved in 1990 and stopped propping Fidel up to the tune of 6 billion a year...."
Hahaha.
Anway Cuba is not materially poor at all, and most Cubans are much better off than most Cubans in Miami, or most Americans.
Para dollar is right--a moron. Give him a nice breakfast of fried greenbacks, jeje.

It is humiliating for the cuban people.
Cubans in the blockaded island live in extreme poverty, and cubans in southern florida live among the scum of the usa.
Liberal miami and communist cuba are sh-it holes.
The USA has enslaved Cuba and uses the island as a jump board to smuggle illegal cocaine into the USA.
Actually, I feel sorry for these people.
They are so subordinated to other groups such as the Jewish community in southern florida.

U.S.... programs are necessary now, Davidow said, because'Latin America [and] the Caribbean are witnessing an increase in criminality and are having difficulty confronting this because of judicial and police systems that need assistance....'

US link to Swine Flu:
"Smithfield Foods the worlds largest producer of pork supports 16 farms in the area of the original outbreak. It uses a vertical integration method of intensive farming. Thousands of pigs are packed into barns, their waste flushed into open-air pits called lagoons.
To the people of this community, what brought about this problem was the pig farms, said Guillermo Franco Vazquez, the mayor of Perote.
RT
mopsius 2 years ago
"The 500,000 pigs at a single Smithfield subsidiary in Utah generate more fecal matter each year than the 1.5 million inhabitants of Manhattan. The best estimates put Smithfield's total waste discharge at 26 million tons a year. That would fill four Yankee Stadiums. Even when divided among the many small pig production units that surround the company's slaughterhouses, that is not a containable amount.:

From Puerto Rico to NY
From Jamaica to UK
From Cuba to FL.

Swine flu was engineered and mutated in clandestine labs located in Cuba.
It was used as a bio-terrorist weapon against Mexico. so, War on drugs and Swine-Flu, will move back to liberal Florida! and anti-american, Cuba!

"Oil, up to 20 billion barrels of it, sits off Cuba's northwest coast in territorial waters, according to the Cuban government -- enough to turn the island into the Qatar of the Caribbean. At a minimum, estimates by the U.S. Geological Survey place Cuba's potential deep-water reserves at 4.6 billion barrels of oil and 9.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, stores that would rank the island among the region's top producers..."

Pres. Obama is really no different than all of the other pres. we've had; he fights for the interests of the corporate class in the US. The fact that he's black means nothing. Sure there is some thawing between the two nations but Obama will continue the embargo. Cuba is still a threat to the American ruling class and the last hope for it's workers and farmers. The accusations posted by some members here about drugs and engineering the swine flu are groundless. Remeber what Ochoa did?

"Many people react with incredulity when the assertion is made that the so-called swine flu outbreak in Mexico may be manufactured crisis. And yet history is replete with examples of government using biological and chemical agents for political purpose.
As a primary example, consider the CIAs secret war against Cuba and Fidel Castro...."
