The Jamaica Solidarity movement with Cuba, joins with the rest of progressive humanity and all well-thinking people, in condemning in the strongest possible way, the recent attempts on March 17th by a moribund US empire, aided and abetted by their bribed and bullied lackeys both inside and outside of our sister country, to manipulate the just grievance of our Cuban brothers and sisters in Santiago de Cuba for a more adequate supply of food and stable energy, as ‘part and parcel’ of their decades-old campaign to destabilize and turn-back the Cuban revolution.
This latest maneuver by the enemies of the Cuban people, comes against a background of their failed putsch in July 11,2021 when they sought to use the genuine grievances of the people for basic supplies for every-day living, which was made worse by the 243 sanctions imposed by the former Trump presidency and totally embraced by the current Biden administration, on top of a sixty-three-year-old criminally imposed and internationally condemned economic, commercial and financial blockade.
We also view these actions as another desperate attempt of the ‘rolling of the dice’ by the current 46th occupant of the White House, to try and achieve, what no other US president has been able to do since January 1, 1959 under the leadership of 34th president, Dwight Eisenhower, which is the overthrow of the people’s revolution, led by its historic leader, Fidel.
Biden and his handlers, are very mindful of the growing disaffection and fall-out especially among the young voters, ( who voted overwhelmingly for him in 2020), as a result of his administration callous complicity in the genocidal conflict being prosecuted by the Netanyahu- led apartheid Israel regime against the Palestinian people.
Further, with the campaign for the coveted White House now on in earnest and the need to secure every single vote against a formidable but tainted opponent, Biden’s recent actions should also be seen as one way of ‘currying favor’, with the Miami mafia and counter-revolutionaries, arch enemies of the Cuban revolution.
We say to the Biden administration and its mercenary acolytes ‘Let Cuba Live, Lift the Blockade’. Cease being the pariah of the international community by your vulgar repudiation of international law and conventions.
