FAO Director Sends Congratulation Letter to Fidel Castro (eradicating hunger)

[Judi Lynn]

8. That's right!I've seen it for ages, too!They think they can convince others who don't know

any better that Fidel Castro conducted the Revolution by himself and has been keeping all Cubans as his own personal slaves and prisoners since 1959.

They haven't lifted their pudgy Cheetos-stained fingers long enough to crack open any books, or do any research, and have only what the corporate media has told them to believe about Cuba, and don't have the brain power to ever question if they should try to learn more about it.

All islands which have been populated with large groups from outside, all have to depend upon imported food, clothing, equipment, etc., and it always costs a lot more than on the mainland.

Due to the embargo, Cuba has had to import most of Cuba's material goods from great distances, incurring fiendish costs simply due to extreme transportation costs. There are a lot of things almost impossible for them to find, and buy due to the narrowness of choices, since the U.S. also has control over what countries, and what companies there are allowed to trade with Cuba, due to the internationally illegal power of the Helms-Burton Act.

Other countries reacted as soon as it was enacted, pointing out Helms-Burton is illegal in international law, but apparently most countries don't want to make enemies with the U.S. over the embargo, so they are being quietly blackmailed into cooperation with the U.S.

Every time I hear yet another one of these clowns trying shriek about the shortages in Cuba I can only wonder if they realize how sleazy they sound, trying to keep the Cold War going. Jerks!
