Guantánamo

In a ceremony at the next debate, the candidates for President of the United States of America should sign a pledge to issue this proclamation on 21 January 2025, no matter who wins:

JUL 28, 2024

NASA

In 1898, the United States invaded Cuba at Guantánamo Bay. Five years later, after Spain lost a series of Caribbean battles, the US owned Cuba, and Cuba gave the US a big piece of land on the bay, because it was a perfect harbor for refueling and resupplying US Navy ships. The terms of the lease were very good. 

In 1934, when Cuba was run by a gang of thugs managed by the US government and the US mafia, the lease became permanent, which is probably illegal. The rent was $2,000 in gold coins per year. Every year, we send a check for the rough equivalent (about $4,000) to the Cuban government. Since 1959, when the Cuban revolution defeated another nasty dictatorship owned by the US government and the US mafia, the Cuban government has not cashed our checks, because they are convinced that Cuba is the legal owner of Guantánamo Bay, and the lease is invalid. 

They are correct. No rational analysis can deny that Cuba is the rightful owner. Even if the “permanent lease” is legal, we are getting a totally sweetheart deal. Four thousand dollars a year for a big slice of Caribbean paradise plus an ideal deepwater harbor. And we aren’t even allowed to pay rent. It’s free.

We should close the US Navy base and the prison, then sublease the territory to a conglomerate from Singapore that will create a free-trade zone for trans-shipping and oil exploration, and upscale condos with above-average views, and a few reasonable shopping areas. They would pay us $100 million per year, and we would still pay nothing. 

But seriously: We should stop all these games. I have ordered all US personnel and operations to evacuate Guantánamo Bay by the first of January next year. The remaining prisoners will be transferred to secure detention places, even though some of them never deserved to be there or in any prison. We will remove anything that the Cuban government doesn’t want. If they want us to leave something, no problem. 

To those who don’t support this order, I understand your confusion. For many, many years, we have all just assumed that Guantánamo Bay is ours, and we can use it for any purpose at all. But that’s not true. It’s never been true.

We should accept the truth and move on.

    The sensible are aware the irrelevant trade sanctions against Cuba is unfair and linked to a strong anti Cuba sentiment arising from Cuban immigrants who have exerted their influenced on American foreign policy.

    Neither the sanctions war, unlike what the man here from the North has argued, and the occupation of Cuba’s Guantanomo Bay cannot be seen as separate issues.

    Instead they are properly located within the vicious systems of hegemony and Whiteness as controlled by the American empire, as inheritors.

    More broadly, America has about 900 such bases all over the world and has such crimpling sanctions wars regimes on 40 percent of world nations.

    Therefore Cuba is no longer exceptional. Indeed, these are the two major forces which are driving the rise of BRICS and other linked formations and at the same time feeling the speedy demise of the American empire at a now unstoppable pace.

    Ukraine is now making incursions into Russia. #AmeriKKKa is bolstering forces in the China Sea & around Japan. Iran is about to drop 1500 bombs on Israel with “HACKERS” jamming the #IronDome – where fallout will be utter devastation & #WW3 . Russian FM Lavrov warned Israel that it will not always stand idly by on the side-lines! North Korea intends 2 back Russia to the hilt, in whatever direction a conflict goes – while China also has the backing of NK, in the event Taiwan & USA double down!!!

    EVERYTHING IS POISED 2 GO 2 HELL IN A PAN CART WHILE MOST FOLKS ARE IN A STATE OF COGNITIVE INERTIA – RAMRODDED, RAILROADED, OVERTAKEN & OVER-RUN BY THE SUDDEN PANIC OF WORLD GOVs – WHEN THE GATES OF HELL ARE TORN FROM THEIR HINGES & UTTER MADNESS BREAKS LOOSE

    Would you have been of the same view during the Crusades?

    My argument is not that sanctions on Cuba have no effect. Rather, the Cuban government blames El Bloqueo for most things, and most importantly as @ David wrote, the exodus has increased, and the pressure from many of these ‘newer’ USA arrivals is stronger than ever. Adding to the existing opponents.
    This has been somewhat surprising, as many were born after the Revolution and “appeared” strong supporters. But the day they are free of Cuban penalties, they have become staunch opponents.
    They will not cease the pressure on the US Government to keep, and add, to the sanctions.
    The Cuban hotel stock, much of which was built in the 90’s during the “Special Period”, are in a mess. I visited last September for the first time in 20+ years and was shocked. Not unexpectedly, the Cuban government’s 49% private hotel partners, are not happy.
    There is no question just prior to Jan 6, Trump added Cuba to the list of ‘state sponsors of terrorism’, which has been a killer.

    You are a fucking liar!

    Indeed, you’ve argued that because there is a facility within the State Department for sanctioned countries to import goods ,if approved, that the sanctions on Cuba were not the main cause for the underdevelopment indices seen in Cuba.

    As is the case in dozens of countries.

    Or maybe you’ll be like William Skinner and contend that these are not your exact words.

    Like to him and to you weeeeee reiterate that in academia this writer has poetic license to, in the absence of the excerpts from the exact threads, paraphrase.

    And weeee do that again!

    You’ll never been to Cuba. And generally have no information except that propaganda given you by its enemies.

    Venezuela has the most oil in the world and sanctions has started to see Venezuelanos, like Cubans, running in the same way. Before sanctions were imposed by Trump this was hardly the case.

    At the heart of this issue is American control of Swift, the US dollar in trading and the Euro. Not to talk about third party sanction fears

    ‘Indeed, you’ve argued that because there is a facility within the State Department for sanctioned countries to import goods ,if approved, that the sanctions on Cuba were not the main cause for the underdevelopment indices seen in Cuba.’

    And I stick to that in general, albeit a slightly different rationale. Not that sanctions, which have been in place since 1960(?) do not have an effect. But they are not the only cause, as successive Cuban regimes tell their people.

    And the truth is many of the imports I was aware of when constructing hotels, if having USA content, came via a subsidiary company in Mexico or elsewhere. And this had nothing to do with Cuba per se, rather the seller feared legal consequences if it were discovered they were knowingly trading with Cuba. Yet, Spanish, Canadian and a host of other countries freely traded with Cuba.

    But that is merely one prong of sanctions. They are extensive. And if some of the Cubans in the USA have their way, there will be more. Obviously there are also those Cubans abroad, who want an end in the hope their homeland can recover. None of us want family and friends to suffer if it can be avoided.

    Quite frankly I don’t care whether you think I have been to Cuba or not. For you being an idealogue pro Cuba, sees everyone who doesn’t fully embrace it without question an enemy. Not dissimilar from the party faithful in Bim who support much once their preferred party is in power.

    And your battle is not with me, but the real enemies who extend effort, and money, daily to see the end of the Communist Party. Who lobby to tighten the sanctions. Who lobby to make remittances illegal.

    Well, what contradictions.

    But first, this writer has no interest in mischaracterizing anybody. Am determined to give a fair account or tell the truth even if it hurts this writer’s arguments.

    The contradictions your arguments must face include when we look at China, a Communist country like Cuba, with Chinese characteristics, like the Chinese say, compared to Cuba, outcomes are quite different.

    But China is Communist in all its structures. Yet, trading has allowed it to grow by an average of 5 to 6 percent per year for 30 years. Cuba is the opposite.

    Indeed, the Chinese has transformed capitalism by socializing certain costs for corporations – health care, infrastructure, etc

    Then your argument stares into the face of the preponderance of academic literature. Indeed, the vast majority of academicians point directly at sanctions for the social and economic problems in Cuba.

    Even the Americans themselves locate the problems in sanctioned countries to their evil machinations, but not you.

    Of course, they also put 20,000 sanctions on Russia and for the first time experienced real blowback is the first exception to this exceptionally wicked American regime, for which you still try to minimize these economic nuclear weapons that are these internationally illegal sanctions run by the West.

    A simple case study.

    When Cuba is under US sanctions. And Cuba is cornered like it has been.

    This distorts market conditions to the extent where the seller corporations from the US, aided and abetted by their government can easily set up monopoly or near monopoly market conditions.

    American selling corporations will know that their government will act in ways to prevent Cuba from finding alternatives in third countries, by simply not approving the currency transaction.

    There are no more forceful market conditions for the buying country, Cuba, or any other country in the universe.

    And since American selling companies don’t have to fear competitors because the buyer, Cuba, is a captive, abnormal profits can be easily made.

    This scenario takes rent seeking to extraordinary levels with the near absence of price ceilings. This represents the actual punishment inflicted on Cuba for 60 years, a daily enactment imposed by the economic whip of the master of a financial colonialism.

    But he was cock-blocked by “intelligence” who claimed “it would increase terrorism”

    Ten years since “Protective Edge”
    The beginning of a new kind of war in Gaza
    It was to exact a regime of punishment and psychological warfare on the people of Gaza. To threaten them with complete annihilation.
    In 2014, the killing escalated to a scale unseen since 1967. The Zionists obliterated U.N. schools, hospitals and clinics, and entire neghbourhoods. All of Gaza’s universities sustained damage. It’s task was employing precision-guide weaponry so extensively as to cause widespread destruction and terrorize a population. It was a precursor to now. Each assault served as a testing ground of the one that followed. Barbarism feeding barbarism.

    Resistance is a natural response to settler-colonial brutality. It will always exist under occupation. A ceasefire is not enough, Any state that can occupy and bombard a population every few years cannot exist. The Zionist entity must fail.

    Palestine will be free from Zionism and U.S. imperialism.
    End the blockade, end the occupation, liberate the prisoners.

    Netanyahu for example, has more power in America than any American president ever had.

    The Deep State run things! AIPAC and the Zionist state can therefore break every American law and nothing can be done about it

    David, this reflexive look at Cuba and the base at Guantanamo Bay is quite interesting . However, the news flying under the radar of Ukraine’s military attacks inside Russia must be considered as a major event.

    The original Russian incursion was seen as the possible start of a WWIII … but didn’t develop as expected … well here we are now at an inflection point … coupled as it is with Iran’s possible imminent attacks into Israel.

    Russia will blame US and allies for this Ukrainian action and if hostilities are started by Iran then we will be in a fractured, hair trigger status involving fidgety super powers.

    * Will Zelensky attempt to hit more Russian cihe’ll…. with these US munitions/weapons. That’s dangerously problematic.

    * How much longer before Putin unleashes holy hell for the attack.

    * And when does that hellacious hampering inadvertently or otherwise stretch into Poland or across the Finniah border.

    * Surely, Netanyahu will respond aggressively to any Iranian drone attack … and deep into the quagmire we go.

    Major news flying low in our vision but just now will explode into view!

    If your simple case study had any accuracy, Cuba wouldn’t exist. They are far more creative. They purchase goods from all over.
    However, like Barbados, their currency isn’t worth much 1500m offshore. So they need Fx. Since the 90’s this comes via the tourist dollar. But earnings from the sector fell in recent years. While the pandemic was to blame, and sanctions, the deteriorating condition of 20-30 year old hotels was, and is, a major issue. So now, they spend more than they earn, without the crutch of an IMF or WB to mask the problem via loans.
    Then in 2021, they devalued the peso from 1-1 with $US, to an astounding 24-1? This is a page from a 1990 IMF manual which had failed many times. And it has failed again.
    If you doubt me, go and read any of the travel blogs.
    Yet, if they don’t fix their hotel stock, they are headed to disaster. And the average tourist, and know they are not Americans, don’t know or give two hoots about sanctions. Or the local government. Or any ‘ism.

    It is the story of the day.
    And since the primary Russian supporter hasn’t raised it, he must be awaiting a response like all else.
    Like most of these incursions, those calling the shots could care less of those on the ground, whether their own or others. Rather how it will affect them.
    The story of war in Ukraine is widely known. How will Russians react to being displaced and bombed?

    This article is 9 rh years old.

    Havana, Cuba – “El Bloqueo” has cost the Cuban economy $1.1 trillion over the past 55 years and contributed to the deaths of an unknown number of people who otherwise could have lived. 

    Cuban officials have used the words “genocide” and “barbaric” to describe it. Yet, after five decades of failing to remove communist rule, the US trade embargo – or “the blockade” as it’s called here – continues to prevent life-saving medicine, nutritious food, and vital agriculture equipment from reaching the people of this majestic Caribbean island.

    On 28th December 1988 Pam Am 103 was diverted and blew up over Lockerbie with two CIA agents aboard who were allegedly about to blow the whistle on the Iran Contra juggling which used Pan Am planes for smuggling. There was alleged cash and heroin abroad which the CIA were allowed access to retrieve from the crash site.
    Word on the underground was the bomb was planted by CIA not Gaddafi / Libya.

    I was working at Pan Am and Bank of New York and wrote a report for FAILED trades at BoNY and also reported the information about CIA Drugs Bombs to the person investigating PA103 which was raised in a Court Case Pan Am Vs US Government but it got squashed by a Judge before Trial.

    #BonjourBlogmaster

    “Would you have been of the same view during the Crusades?”

    What can I do with such a #HypotheticalQuestion, my dear Bruh???

    Although the “CRUSADES” were a series of “PAPAL MILITARY INCURSIONS” launched by “CATHOLIC WESTERN SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN FORCES” to reclaim “JERUSALEM” aka “THE HOLY LAND” from Muslim rule – the resulting debacle had significant consequences, including the “FALL” OF JERUSALEM”; the “DEVASTATION OF CONSTANTINOPLE”, & the “DECLINE OF THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE”, which were not “PERCEIVED” as the “END OF THE WORLD” or an “APOCALYPSUS”, by contemporary scholars, observers or classical prophetic Bible apologists!!!

    The “RELIEGIO-POLIETICO” onslaught of the Crusades took place within a broader historical context of “MEDIEVAL POLITRICKS”, “INQUISITIONAL WAFARE”, & the “DAMNABLE HERESY OF RElieGIOUS RIVALRIES” between “ISLAM” & “CATHOLICISM”!!!

    From the 11th – 13th centuries, saw numerous conflicts, including the “NORMAN CONQUEST” of England; the “RISE” of the “MONGOL EMPIRE”; & the “TETE A TETE” between the “EECLESIASTICAL ROMAN EMPIRE”, the “BYZANTIAN EMPIRE”, & the “ISLAMIC WORLD”!!!

    CLEARLY NOTHING HAS CHANGED, IS THE SUBLIMINAL ARGUMENT YOU ARE POSITING BY YOUR LEADING QUESTION (spoken like any true lawyer)

    David, what is “DIFFERENT” is where the “HANDS ON THE ANCIENT TIME CLOCK POINT”!!!

    Let me exercise some “BREVITY” here as I can be “LONG-WINDED” & overtly professorial – in an age where most have the attention span of a “HUMMINGBIRD” – sucking nectar from a flower…

    What we are seeing “TODAY” is #BiblicalProphecyBeingFulfilled…

    Daniel, the “PROPHET” puts it this way:

    “For men will run ‘TO & FRO’ and ‘KNOWLEDGE’ shall be ‘INCREASED’…” (12:4)

    To put all that into context:

    In the year 1900, human knowledge “DOUBLED” approximately every 100 years…

    By the end of the #WW2, in 1945, the “KNOWLEDGE” rate was every 25 years…

    Today, in 2024 – “KNOWLEDGE DOUBLES” every “12 HOURS”…

    So, since I finished up last nite, knelt down 2 say my “PRAYERS” of thankfulness – leapt into bed & awoke just after 5 AM – my brain was in a state of “ACTIVATED DORMANCY” (a state of “COSMIC INEBRIATION) processing millions of terabytes of “INFORMATION” that science is still “OBLIVIOUS” to – but, “THE CREATOR GOD” has aptly “PROGRAMMED” into my “SPIRITUAL SOUL MATRIX”, “HEALING ALGORITHMS” for my organs & any other physiological anomalies that may exist there without my knowledge – not to mention, “ALL THE OTHER ELECTRICAL CEREBRAL FUNCTIONS” that needed “REBOOTING”, based on “TRANSMITION OVERLOAD”, “SOFTWARE UPDATES”, or any other “CELLULAR VAGARIES” existent within the deeper molecular & vascular aspects of my anatomical structure!!!

    In “SIMPLE TERMS”: #Repair & “ENHANCEMENTS”…

    THE BIBLE SAYS: “WE ARE FEARFULLY & WONDERFULLY MADE…”(Psalm 139:14)

    #HopeYouGotThat

    Now, try this on for size:

    (1) The #HumanBrain = “SEVERAL BILLION” #Petabytes to index a proper understanding of “FUNCTIONALITY”

    (2) The #WWW of the “INTERNET” = 5 million #Terabytes – the amount of “CYBERSPACE” within the ethereal “BANDWIDTH” of indexation

    (3) So far indexed by “GOOGLE” = 200 Terabytes or .004% of the total Internet… ( #JustLetThatSinkIn )

    #HeresTheRealKicker:

    (4) With AI, the true “DIMENSIONALITY” is “BREATHTAKING”, “DEFYING LOGIC”, “REASON”, or “EXPLANATION” (no wonder some “FOLKS” are scared as “HELL” & “TERRIFIED” of what potentialities lie ahead 4 “HUMANITY” – whether “GOOD or “EVIL)

    The words of Daniel – The Prophet Fulfilled!!!

    #1stWitness

    Now, forgive me “BLOVIATING”:

    The idea known as the “COSMIC WEEK” refers to the belief that the “END” of the world should take place after 6000 of the world’s history…

    According to this theory, “EACH DAY” of “CREATION WEEK” represents a 1000 years (2 Peter 3:8)…

    Since God created the world in 6 days & rested on the 7th day, similarly, this world is to exist for 6000 years, followed by 1000 years of the earth’s rest (A SABBATH) & the simultaneous “HEAVENLY REST” (also a SABBATH) for those who are going to be saved…

    In the Bible, it is known as the “MILLENNIUM” (Rev 20:5) & it refers to the final “JUBILEE” & the “SABBATAICAL YEAR” of (Leviticus 25:2-4) during which the earth will rest uncultivated!!!

    The Jewish belief in the “COSMIC WEEK” idea, #Wikipedia provides the following statement: “The Talmud, Midrash, & the Kabbalistic work, the Zohar state that the due date by which the “MESSIAH” must appear is 6,000 years from “CREATION” – (Year 6000)!!!

    In the days of the “APOSTLES”, the books of Daniel & Revelation were not as yet interpreted & revealed….

    For 4000 years, “CHRIST” was working for man’s uplifting, & “SATAN” for his ruin and degradation. And the heavenly universe beheld it all…

    ”For 6000 years he has wrought his will, filling the earth with woe and causing grief throughout the universe. The whole creation has groaned and travailed together in pain!!!

    The fall of Adam & Eve is known to have occurred in 3969 BC – thus, the “END OF FUTURE TIME” of probation will fall in the year 6000 – 3969 = the year “2031” to come – (given our “MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF TIME), factoring in the changes since the “DEATH OF YESHUA” & “HIS RESURRECTION” (AD 31) & other “TIME-STAMP ANOMALIES” in changes from the “JULIAN – GREGORIAN CALENDAR”, (time lost or time added)!!!

    Well, it takes creativity to even exist when you are like Barbados, without a sanction, yet barely holding on.

    If you’ve had the experience of dealing with sanctions, having to go through all kinds of middlemen, finding barter arrangements, having to pay higher prices for all kind of circumventions, maybe an enlightened position could have been reached.

    Russia the the sole exception. All others have suffered greatly!

    Everybody needs FX regardless of the value of their currency under financial colonialism. Have you not yet determined that the FX game is a scam. Another instrument weaponized by your Western powers. The USD is not worth much, by some metrics either, but it is.

    And you continue to ramble on. The Greek stoic philosopher Epic Etus has about this well spoken.

    How indeed will Russians react to being displaced and bombed, @Northern, how indeed!

    It doesn’t take a Sandhurst trained General officer to know the base level truism that it can be prudent to bring the battle right to your enemy ‘s house and rattle their sense of security and cintrol.

    Of course, with a very powerful enemy that boldness can unleash a ferocious and devastating array of weaponry … so it better be a careful and strategically 2 or 3 step planned offensive.

    We shall see.

    And @David, I suspect that Putin will not engage any detente … he will try to swat Ukraine like the bug he thinks they are.

    And Mr Pacha-man, I can only but laugh heartily at your post.

    Surely, I am misguided … as YOU are by the Eastern media putas!

    No need for a Jeff level (rest well, brother) prolix so suffice to say: were you to set foot on Russian soil, you would be arrested, tried and convicted for spying or some such offense if you proselytized against Putin and Russia … in the way that you preach their gospel so fervently.

    That says ALL that’s needed about the benefits of the personal prostitution of ideas and intellectual honesty of which you speak.

    You have your right to preach but how do you so with such fervor when regular folks like non threatening ballerina Ksenia Karelina (or any of the other critics) is sentenced for 12 years in penal purgatory for the ‘treasonous’ act of donating less than US$100 to a Ukraine charity.

    Treason at it’s most grievous., I say.

    What an idiot, Pacha has been in Russia about half dozen times, and we say about. And shall be in Kazan in a few weeks, fool.

    Kursk was merely a terrorist action to harm civilians and for this all of Ukraine historically Russian will now be taken, including Odessa.

    Otherwise, all along a 1000 km contact line Russia is destroying America, Britain and NATO proxy forces like we’ve long told fools here, like you.

    You people are so weak that you can’t even, after two years, manufacture the military production to suffice your proxies.

    Ukraine does not even have enough men. The country is being destroyed because of the assholes, like you, in the West.

    Amusing …remarkably selective reading comprehension, surely … but one rather laughs than go mindlessly crazy at the mental gymnastics.

    This recent quote best explains his gold medal gym routine.

    “Price is a Black woman who runs a store selling pro-Trump merchandise in Christiansburg, Virginia. She’s 72 […]. She says, “racism is a made-up word,” and “I don’t know what it is, because it doesn’t exist,” and “if I don’t accept it, it doesn’t apply to me.”

    Facts on Putin’s despotic regime where critics like this blogger who lambaste the Czar, as he does with vitriol to all others, CANNOT live in Russia and for some cannot live anywhere else in world!

    So like that so lovely lady surmises Putin’s savagery against his own people is a fiction; it does not exist.

    He doesn’t accept it so all others are idiots and it’s a fantasy!

    What a wonderful world this is!
