Israel Miffed, Won't Back Cuba Move

[Judi Lynn]

10. Actually, Cuba paid compensation to people who owned land in Cuba in Canada, Europe, etc.

long, LONG ago.

The corporations and families who are US American-based opted NOT to accept the compensation, and that's where it remained. The US government advised them not to have anything to do with the Cuban government, and EVERYONE ELSE settled.

Cuba paid compensation to corporations in Western Europe, Canada, Latin America, etc. starting in the 1960's. The option had also been there for landowners in the U.S. Cuba paid, for instance, over a span of a few years, compensation to the Nestle company for several of its factories, and everything was completed long ago with Canada, France, Switzerland, Great Britain, etc.

Many Cuban "original wave" "exiles" who moved to South Florida, etc. assumed that the US would swoop in and seize Cuba, overturn the Revolution and put the same scum back in power, and get their land back for them immediately. Didn't happen, of course, so they lived on to grace this country with their presence, even though the Cuban people couldn't stand them any longer due to their corrupt and violent government, which employed many of them at all levels, going all the way up to the bloody Dictator Batista's cabinet, and family, death squads, and extreme racism, their pompous sense of entitlement, which came with them to the States, of course.

The landowners who moved here ALL had their opportunity to accept compensation for their property, just like the ones elsewhere who made arrangements and took their compensations decades ago.
