Cuba Is A Lie

HAVANA, CUBA — A sense of relief washed over me as my documentary team huddled in the corner of the American Embassy in Havana. The American flag flying above the building meant we had our rights again. Inside the heavily garrisoned fortress of an embassy, we were able to use the internet without massive government restrictions to book our emergency flights home. We drank our first sips of clean water. Both of these privileges we had forgotten about after three days in the socialist country. Our morning had begun with armed government agents storming our rental house in Havana and demanding access to our rooms and camera gear. We bolted from the

Subheadline:

Here is the side of socialist Cuba we saw that the American media refuses to show you: Bread lines, gas lines, food shortages, crumbling infrastructure, crippling poverty, and an oppressed people.

You should check the “Black Book of Communism.” It tells plenty about about all these socialist “paradises.”

When Obama lifted the travel restrictions to Cuba, lots of American lefties rushed to visit. I remember reading some of their descriptions of their disillusionment. The workers at the hotels told them how they get paid in Cuban pesos, which are worth very little. All hard currencies (like the US dollar) are immediately confiscated by the Cuban government. Even a block from the hotels the Americans found little but crumbling buildings, poverty and lots of police. The Cuban people are generally too frightened to speak the truth about the Castros, but some did anyway. There was nowhere to get cash. The hospitals that the people are allowed to use were understaffed, barren of necessary medical supplies and drugs and were dirty. Only children under 3 are allowed to have milk, as it is otherwise rationed. I forget most of the details, but I remember the Americans shock at discovering the truth about Cuba and Communism. I also remember that when Fidel Castro died, the Jeep (carrying Castro's body??) in the funeral procession broke down and had to be towed to the cemetery. Total fail.

True story: we went to Cuba in late 2018. On a nature tour, my daughter asked the tour guide if he had ever been outside of Cuba. He replied, “Oh yes, every night in my dreams.” I will never forget that.

Not actually eye opening. Simply confirmation of the truth of Cuba under Communism that is known to people who pay attention. Crumbling EVERYTHING, food lines and no choices, gas lines, deep poverty, no hope. Further, it's getting worse as all their sponsors, like the USSR and Venezuela, crumble themselves. The only value of Cuba was as a Communist gadfly to the USA. That value has long expired. If Socialism took root here, one of the most astonishing things is that all the mouthy Leftists would probably end up in prison because their right to be mouthy doesn't exist in Socialist countries. Their money would be confiscated through "fair" taxes and they would start to complain. They wouldn't be able to get in their cars or planes and travel because of gas restrictions and travel restrictions. Their access to great food would dry up. Reliable power would not exist. The state controntrolled media would not carry their concerns. They would march in protest and be arrested and isolated. Their houses and other property would be seized because they are dissidents. HOW can the media get away with such bald face lies about Cuba, the USSR, and other communist countries? When Boris Yeltsin visited the US, he was astonished at the choices in the grocery stores, NONE of which existed in his country, for anyone. Yet, Bernie gets in front of a camera and lies about the beneficial outcomes of Socialism and the media accepts it as fact. Then the media wonders why no one trusts them.

Under a real communist regime the Bernie supporters would be the first ones lined up and shot. The gays would be next. The smirky know it all college students would be put on the curb with their backpacks confiscated. The real truth about this cannot be understood by native born Americans.

Arizona and Montana are taking legal action (pdf) to block new Biden administration immigration regulations, saying that these would cause negative consequences for the states. The new rules would limit the capability of ICE to detain some illegal immigrants unless they pose a threat to national security, entered through the border after Nov. 1, or committed aggravated felonies. The Biden administration says that the rules don’t impair arresting or deporting people, but the officers in the field would need to request permission from their superiors to arrest people outside of the aforementioned cases.“If asked about the poorest policy choice I’ve ever seen in government, this would be a strong contender,”

As Joe Biden constructs his new administration, individuals from the Obama administration are quietly resurfacing in positions of power. Some of these people are well known, others lesser so. But they all played critical roles at various times during the Obama administration. Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser and now the “top adviser to the president on domestic policy and related decisions,” has admitted to participating in the unmasking of members of the Trump transition team. Unmasking is the process whereby a U.S. citizen’s identity is revealed from collected surveillance. Initially, Rice publicly denied the allegations, claiming that “I know nothing about this.

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and her appointees have repeatedly met with and hosted leaders from a leading organization in the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front. The United Front functions as China’s premier influence and propaganda organization, raising flags with the U.S. government’s Economic and Security Review Commission. It seeks to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and coerce American leaders “to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies.”What’s more, the State Department has described the group as seeking to “directly and malignly influence” U.S. state and local leaders.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
