- The Truth and Nothing but the Truth

All too often, the atrocities committed in Cuba by castro and his thugs has been marginalized by the American public as an internal issue. It is easy to classify the inhumane conditions caused by the infamous revolution as simply a disagreement between Cubans who want communism and those that do not. This is the viewpoint that the mass media supplies the public, making it that much easier for those who have no interest in Cuba to ignore the inconvenient truths. 

I have always said that the struggle between castro’s regime and the Cubans who have fought so diligently against him and his totalitarianism for almost half a century has nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with basic human rights and liberty. Even so, the mainstream media continues to feed the public the talking points generated by Cuba’s communist propaganda machine that paints the issue as an “us vs. them” situation instead of exposing the realities of castro’s gross violations of human rights.  

Cubans that will accept nothing less than freedom for their country are described as intransigents. The dictatorship that has raped and plundered an entire nation, however, is described as poor victims suffering because of the US’s outdated foreign policy. 

Claudia Fanelli has written an outstanding essay, “I Could Never be a Cuban,” that shows us that there are non-Cubans out there that get it. This is a great example of how we must never give up and never give in. It is a fine essay and I highly recommend you take the time to read it.

If we were not making inroads in getting the truth out about Cuba’s reality, the castro regime would not be devoting so many resources to try and silence and discredit us..
