Special Guest Jane Franklin esteemed Cuban history expert and author shares declassified data in a succinct overview clearly indicating the deceitful and predatory nature of US foreign policy towards Cuba since shortly after the revolutionary victory of 1959. Jane’s revelations reveal the truth of how US Foreign Policy from the very beginning refused to respect Cuban sovereign choices regarding their political economic model and instead sought to destroy their economy and ability to subsist at any cost and how this policy was created independent of what Cuba did or did not do. In addition to those revelations other empirical memos and notes from close Eisenhower advisors are shared revealing how US policy from the start was to ‘manufacture’ false pretexts and if necessary ‘fabricate’ false pretenses in order to deceive the American public, which to this day falsely believes that Cuba’s human rights record is worthy of sanctions and that the vast majority population of Cuba does not support their government.
We speak to the human rights question by presenting Nelson Mandela’s words in several interviews and speech excerpts within a year of two of his release from jail after his 27 years in prison. We provide you a historical overview of apartheid and empirical evidence of who supported and enabled the apartheid scourge by vetoing a dozen or so UN resolutions to sanction apartheid South Africa during its heyday. We juxtapose that behavior with Mandela’s revelations indicating it was Cuba that:
1. was the decisive factor that overthrew apartheid South Africa and. 2. it was Cuba’s selfless principle of internationalism that has been decisive for developing nations in Africa and throughout the world for alleviating massive amounts of human suffering. This show reveals this history in detail, and we ask you to examine these diametrically opposed points of view and have the humility to question if the US government and mainstream media generated public perceptions about Cuba and human rights is closer to the truth than that of Nelson Mandela. Someone is lying.
Have we been acculturated to believe falsehood after falsehood when it comes to Cuba? Listen to Mandela’s words and decide who to believe, Nelson Mandela or the government and medias that enabled apartheid?
