counter-informatie

Hioer wat counterinformatie nav bovenstaande pro-amerikaanse en pro-impewrialistische oproep ter voorbereiding van amerikaanse agressie tegen Cuba.


Zoals uit onderstaande documentatie blijkt, is deze oproep 100% het verlengde van de amerikaanse politiek tegenover Cuba.

Feitelijk zijn het wegbereidingen voor een invasie zoals we hebben gezien in Grenada, Panama en recentelijk Irak.

Als we het over Cuba en de mensenrechten hebben is het nogal dikwijls Cuba die met de vinger gewezen wordt. De VS voeren reeds jaren een agressieve media-campagne om de publieke opinie daarvan te overtuigen. Maar wist je dat de agressie politiek van de VS reeds 46 jaar onschuldige slachtoffers eist onder de Cubaanse bevolking?

Let Cuba Live - End the Embargo

Did You Know?...

* The United States is the only country in the world that prohibits trade with Cuba.

* All other countries are prevented from freely trading with Cuba by U.S. sanctions. For example, the U.S. restricts ships from our ports that have delivered goods to Cuba, reduces aid to countries by the amount of their Cuban sugar imports, bans exports of foreign-made products to Cuba if they contain U.S.-origin components, prohibits subsidiaries of U.S. multinationals from trading with Cuba, and sues executives of foreign firms that invest in properties once owned by U.S. companies.

*The UN General Assembly has voted every year since 1992 to condemn the embargo for violating the trading sovereignty of other countries. In 1999, the vote was 157 to 2, with only Israel supporting the U.S. position.

Cubaanse resolutie tegen schenden mensenrechten op Guantanamo Bay.

Cuba, ik zou bijna willen zeggen uiteráárd Cuba, heeft 't aangedurft een resolutie bij de Commissie Mensenrechten van de VN in te dienen tegen de schendingen van mensenrechten op Guantanamo Bay. Terwijl de VS Cuba hebben laten veroordelen door de commissie op voorstel van Honduras, die daarvoor een grote geldsom ontving van de VS als zijnde ontwikkelingshulp, wordt de situatie op de Amerikaanse basis in Cuba buiten beschouwing gelaten. Nu heeft Cuba dus een onderzoek aangevraagd door de commissie en tot m'n verbazing wordt deze resolutie gesteund door Mexico, zo lees ik in People's Daily. Tot m'n verbazing omdat Vicente Fox, de Mexicaanse president, regelmatig bij GWB2 op diens ranch op visite is en deze grote vrienden van elkaar zijn.

De indiening van deze resolutie is een reactie van Cuba op de veroordeling van Cuba door de commissie. 22 Landen stemden voor de door Honduras ingediende motie, 21 landen stemden tegen en 10 onthielden zich. Of er dan sprake is van een echter veroordeling waag ik dan ook te betwijfelen.

Ik ben benieuwd hoe vazaal Nederland zal stemmen als deze zaak inderdaad in de Commissie komt al valt dat niet moeilijk te voorspellen.

De personen en organisaties achter deze demonstratie zijn medeverantwoordelijk als de amerikaanse fascisten hun zin krijgen en de revolutie wordt verslagen en Cuba wordt opgenomen in de neo-liberale wereld orde onder de leiding van diezelfde amerikaanse fascisten. Als de amerikanen hun zin krijgen en Cuba veranderd in een soort Haiti, als de straten rood gekleurd zijn van het bloed van de ant-fascistische verdedigingkrachten dan kleeft dit bloed ook aan hun handen. Als alle verworvenheden van de revolutie terug worden gedraait, als de homnger terug komt, het sterven aan te genezen ziektes, het analfabetisme en de uitbuiting en de terugkeer van fascistische terreur dan zullen deze orgisatoren zich moeten verantwoorden voor hun bijdrage aan de hernieuwde invoer van het fascisme in Cuba.
Voorlopig gaat het echter de goede kant op in Zuid Amerika en geven deze lieden geen uitdrukking aan iets wat in de regio leeft.
