The National Network on Cuba says the fundamental humanitarian aid that Cuba needs is ending the U.S. economic commercial and financial blockade. Just like “San Ysidro,” “Zunzuneo” and so many other instigations and provocations bought and paid for with U.S. workers’ tax dollars, the origins of the current difficulty experienced in Cuba will be fully exposed.
The part that we know is the sinister role of the U.S. government in its attempt to foment regime change in Cuba. The current efforts to destabilize Cuba are reminiscent of the April 6, 1960 Mallory-Rubottom memo which prescribed measures “as inconspicuous as possible” to bring hunger and hardship to the Cuban people so they choose capitalist wage slavery as a respite. The audacity that a formerly colonized, Black and Brown people, would dare to choose an independent path! How else can we view the Biden administration’s refusal to restore even a modicum of relief for Cuban families?
