How cruel it can b 2 try 2 drown a people !!! #UnblockCuba

Post by @CubanWindow

Cuba recovers from the pain and devastation caused by #HurricaneIrma, while from this brutal north the speeches are split out before the nations of the world traveling back in time, giving way to the hatred and the desires of a few:

Today @ the UN Trump said that the US-imposed blockade against Cuba will not be lifted if the Caribbean nation does not satisfy Washington-mandated reforms, despite the overwhelming rejection it receives annually in the General Assembly.

But the Cubans join forces to give life to their “archipelago” and sing to their land

Video: The flower that inhabits you
Cuba, you are part of me
Wherever I go, you go inside
we will never abandon you
Cuba, your children sweat, recovering the sky,
it’s time to show how much we love you

How can you snatch such goodness from a story
How you can block the truth that is giving birth to dreams
what they try to stifle has been feeling for decades
How cruel it can be to try to drown a people

No Gas in Florida: Give #Truth a Chance Via @NatCounterPunch

As I heard Florida’s governor demanding gas, I wondered why they don’t learn from Cuba, and send buses. Cuba was there in the CBC newscasts about Florida. It was the country under the satellite image, under the “lingering” eye of category five Irma. For hours, that awful image was in the background as the CBC anchor kept returning to Florida’s need for gas. Continue Reading HERE

 

… with the same straight that faces the strike of a hurricane

On the night of September 9th the frightening Hurricane Irma discharge all his wrath on Cuba.

The powerful Category 5 hurricane (Catastrophic damage will occur: A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months) with sustained maximum winds of 250 km per hour (185 miles per hour) chose the keys in the north of the island, plagued by excellent beaches and hotels, and swept everything in its wake after destroying the beautiful Caribbean with its paradisiacal landscapes.

Same day, in the morning, when all the forecasts showed that the natural phenomenon was heading towards the island, Trump also unloaded his anger on Cuba by renewing (by 11 time, before him 10 American presidents have renewed it) the Trading with the Enemy Act – statute from 1917 that sustains the blockade:

Cuba has been devastated by Irma, now it tries to recover from its ravages, an exercise of enviable strength that repeats the Cuban people every time it receives the unconcerned visit of a natural phenomenon, for it counted not only with the support of the Cuban revolutionary government , but also with the support of  some countries and NGO that return to the island all the solidarity that she has given to them.

Cuba is also punished each year by each American president for choosing a different path without bending or accepting pressure.

But Cuba rises again claiming to live as best it seems to push the empire’s boot to one side with the same straight that faces the strike of a hurricane.

 

 

Cuba decided to walk a different course in 1959

Original Post Translated & Post by @CubanWindow: Proyecto Varela, the story of a failure

In 1998, Oswaldo Paya Sardiñas, who led the controversial Christian Liberation Movement in Cuba, who was poor in membership and without no link with others counter revolutionary groups, were encouraged by the United States and introduced a bill entitled Proyecto Varela.

British university rejects Cuban students citing U.S. blockade laws as justification

The British Cuba Solidarity Campaign (CSC) has launched a campaign to overturn a ban on applications from Cuban students by one of the biggest educational institutions in the UK.

The Open University (OU) has been exposed for operating a policy of barring applications from Cuban students, due to U.S. blockade laws against Cuba.

The Open University says it is operating a “restricted countries” list in its admissions process because it fears it may be fined by the United States Treasury Department if it breaks U.S. blockade laws and allows Cuban students to study there.

In accordance with the law of the United States …

Original Post: What Rosa Maria Paya has just discovered 

Those who receive instructions that compel them to repeat scripts written to distort the Cuban reality, come to believe the same lies that they spread against the Revolution.

One such person is Rosa Maria Paya Acevedo, a self-styled “political refugee” living in Miami, who became a nightly actress by the grace of those who designed campaigns against Cuba.
