This is Revolutionary Cuba! Despite a fierce economic blockade imposed by the US empire, the island nation has made tremendous gains that have had a global impact.
Ahead of Obama’s visit, Cuba insists that before there is a normalization of relations the US must end its 55-year-old blockade, return the illegally-held Guatanamo, change its immigration policies toward Cuban migrants, stop transmitting radio propaganda into the country and attempting to build an opposition, and finally stop all attempts at regime change.
More than 50 years after the U.S. cut off relations with Fidel Castro’s communist government in Cuba, the Obama administration announced Wednesday that the two countries had agreed on the framework for plans to re-establish diplomatic ties and open long-restricted avenues for travel and commerce.
America finally stops punishing the Cuban people for picking a government that America does not like.
I ran Cuba from the 6th floor of the US embassy. All the Cubans had to do was grow sugar and shut up.

And we wonder why they hate us so damn bad.
My musings, thoughts, ideas and obsessions.
I am a nobody from North Carolina.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
