In the fifth of a long list of wishes: 'Free Cuba, free our souls', the award-winning documentary filmmaker made it clear that “it is time to normalize all relations with Cuba, end all sanctions against Cuba, end the embargo (blockade) and fully recognize the Cuban people's right to self-determination”.
With his characteristic style, the director of “Fahrenheit 9/11” called on Biden to while he is (supposedly) “in Havana at the signing ceremony, announces that he is also returning Guantanamo Bay to the Cuban people since we do not need it because it is their land”.
His fourth wish was precisely to close “the torture base” in the illegal territory occupied by his country to the east of the island because “it represents a dark stain on the position of the United States in the world”.
He recalled that last November, an overwhelming majority of 187 countries in the UN General Assembly united for the 31st time to “demand that the United States end our six-decade trade embargo against Cuba.”
“The only country that voted with us was...wait for it...Israel! Oh, and one nation abstained - Ukraine,” Moore said as he stressed that ”no decent person can look at this and truly believe that the United States is on the right side of this issue.”
“The devout Catholic in you knows that what we are doing to Cuba is wrong. Joe, free our souls from this sinful burden, do what is right,” emphasized the 2003 Oscar winner with his documentary ‘Bowling for Columbine’.
Moore included, among others, in his extensive list of 13 wishes that Biden cancels all student and medical debt; release Native American rights advocate Leonard Peltier, confined 46 years ago; and stop Israel's slaughter in Gaza.
“How many violations of red lines will it take until you've had enough (...) Mass slaughter, mass murder, mass destruction, all committed in the name of America, with America's bombs, America's weapons, America's money,” he said in urging ”an end to this madness.”
In the text (Bucket List Joe), published on his official website, Moore stressed to the Democratic president: “You have an extraordinary opportunity to make a lot of things happen. Great things. Important things. With one or two strokes of your presidential pen.”
Above all - he insisted - “you have immunity,” referring to the Supreme Court decision in July that granted the U.S. president “supreme powers WITH immunity and no political consequences. What would happen if you used them?”
