If it wasn't for that Cuban expat crying about her grandfather losing his plantation I would have been so naive I would have thought the "I am the decendent of a slaver" bit was too absurd of a parody.

According to a report by Prisoners Defenders, a Spain-based NGO that campaigns for human rights in Cuba and is linked to the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU) opposition group, doctors on average receive between 10% and 25% of the salary paid by the host countries, with the rest being kept by Cuba's authorities.

There is no presence for Prisoners Defenders outside of a twitter, facebook page, and website that was sloppily put together with a godaddy.com host last month.




The people turfing Prisoners Defenders, UNPACU, are basically NED-funded regime change agents:

quote:

In 2009, Ferrer and fellow Cuban dissidents Librado Linares García, Iván Hernández Carrillo, Jorge Luis García Pérez, and Iris Pérez Aguilera were jointly awarded the Democracy Award of the US National Endowment for Democracy. Ferrer was unable to attend, as he was still in prison.[8]

You are actually correct, it is basically the imperialist media running another hitpiece. There is a long history of western media using coached testimony from exiles and defectors only to walk it back a few months later quietly when their lurid claims were found to be untruthful in whole or in part.

If Uber eats refuses to deliver to your self imposed prison that’s not really being starved. Well maybe by white people standards.

Ah yes, it’s because they are lazy, and not because there are armed police outside preventing food from entering.

This is a pretty hot take given that police arrested people trying to bring food in and would seize the building as soon as the people in it left.

Interesting, however relating Venezuela to Yemen, Syria, and Afghanistan makes no sense. I don’t see how it’s appropriate for Jesse Jackson to bring up the context of US Imperialism?
