Mexico’s President Praises Castro Regime for its ‘Dignity,’ Denounces US

Humberto Fontova | Posted: Oct 02, 2021 12:01 AM

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

"'The government I represent respectfully calls on the United States government to lift the blockade against Cuba,' [President Lopez-Obrador] said at an Independence Day event on Thursday attended by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and new United States Ambassador Ken Salazar, among other dignitaries," Mexico News Daily reported. “Because no state has the right to subjugate another people, another country,” Lopez-Obrador added.

“[The Cuban regime] having resisted 62 years without subjugation is quite a feat. … For their struggle in defense of the sovereignty of the country, I believe that the Cuban people deserve the prize of dignity…And I think that it should be declared a World Heritage site for the same reason,” Lopez-Obrador said July 11th.

So let’s see: Your neighborhood grocer catches you repeatedly shoplifting from his store, repeatedly vandalizing his property and repeatedly defaulting on the credit he graciously extended you. So he finally cuts you off. According to Mexican President Lopez-Obrador this qualifies as your neighborhood grocer cruelly “subjugating” you.

Because, you’d never guess it from his propaganda auxiliaries in the Democrat-Media Complex, but the grocery analogy above is pretty much what the U.S. embargo (or “Blockade,” as the more rabid propagandists like AOC, Bernie Sanders, Maxine Waters, etc. call it) of Stalinist/kleptocratic/drug-trafficking Cuba amounts to nowadays.

In fact, for the past two decades, the U.S. has been one of Cuba’s top food suppliers. Just during the first half of 2021, our sales to Cuba (but all cash up front, baby!) amounted to almost $200 million.

You see, amigos: The Castro Crime Family has gleefully fleeced taxpayers from the European Union to Canada, from South Africa to Mexico itself—in brief, the taxpayers of virtually every nation whose government granted trade credits to these kleptocrats and whose governments refrain from “embargoing” or “subjugating” the Castro-Crime-Family.

We’ve been spared such fleecing because on Oct. 1960—right after Castro’s gunmen stole $7 billion from U.S. businessmen and tortured and murdered a few who resisted—President Eisenhower imposed the first economic sanctions against the thieving, mass-murdering Stalinists who mostly (still) run Cuba. These sanctions grew into one of the CROWN JEWELS of recent U.S. foreign policy: The Cuba embargo.

Among the main provisions of the so-called Cuba embargo is that the Castro-Family-Crime-Syndicate pay cash up front through a third–party bank for all U.S. medical and agricultural products; no Ex-Im (U.S. taxpayer) financing of such sales. This cash-up-front policy has kept the U.S. taxpayer among the few who've been spared fleecing by the Castro-regime.

But this is hardly the first show of affection by President Lopez-Obrador for Cuba’s Stalinist oppressors. To wit:

"We have a son named Jesus Ernesto. The first name in for Jesus Christ and the second for Ernesto Che Guevara…an exemplary revolutionary who gave his life for his ideals…Fidel Castro is a giant. He maintained Cuba as sovereign and free.” -Andrés Manual López-Obrador in interview with Univision’s Jorge Ramos.

Alas, Lopez-Obrador’s love is mostly unrequited: “Mexicans are mostly a rabble of illiterate Indians," said Ernesto “Che” Guevara in 1956.

In the historic annals of unrequited love few cases rival the affair by Mexicans and “Chicanos” with Che Guevara. Che’s iconization is sufficiently documented by U.S. Chicano groups in their murals (i.e. graffiti.) To celebrate their Amerindian Aztec culture, these “Aztlan” types seem to plaster this lily white European-Argentinian racist’s mug on practically everything they paint. Mexico City itself features an iconic bust in honor of Che Guevara in in the prestigious Museo De San Carlos.

Perhaps a word with some Bolivian Amerindians who actually experienced Che Guevara’s plans to Stalinize their culture would help. In 1967 these (overwhelmingly indigenous) Bolivians (with help from U.S. Green Berets and CIA operatives) made short work of this Chicano hero. If a picture’s worth a thousand words then this one’s worth a million. If irony shouts these pictures bellow. Please note the obvious ethnic compositions of the gentlemen proudly and triumphantly holding their guns over their vanquished “liberator” from European “oppressors.”

Prior to “invading” Cuba, Castro’s “guerrillas” “trained” in Mexico. Some of these former “guerrillas” later defected to the U.S. and revealed how the sneering Ernesto “Che” Guevara constantly insulted his Mexican hosts. Hence, the Guevara quote mentioned above.

It was in 1955 that a Cuban criminal named Fidel Castro linked up with an Argentine hobo named Ernesto Guevara in Mexico City. Minus this historic hook-up everything points to Ernesto (shortly known a “Che”) continuing his life as a traveling hobo, panhandling, mooching off women, staying in flophouses and scribbling unreadable poetry.

Instead this thoroughly unimposing vagabond and psycho named Ernesto Guevara had the magnificent fortune of linking up with modern history's top press agent, Fidel Castro, who for over half a century had the worldwide Fake News Media anxiously scurrying to his every beck and call and eating out of his hand like trained pigeons. His brother was no chump at this either.

Those champions of “national sovereignty” as hailed by (Lopez –Obrador) Fidel and Raul Castro were in Mexico plotting with KGB agents Osvaldo Sanchez and Nikolai Leonev while putting together a guerrilla band to invade Cuba, overthrow the black/indigenous Cuban head-of-state (Fulgencio Batista) and install a Soviet satrapy. With the financial help of his wealthy (and duped) Cuban backers of the time, Castro hired a Cuban Korean war veteran named Miguel Sanchez to train his guerrilla band. None of the trainees had the slightest combat-experience so their curiosity on the matter of killing people did not surprise Sanchez.

But one of the trainees struck Sanchez as a bit strange, especially the gleam in his eye regarding the act of killing. “How many men have you killed?” this trainee constantly asked Sanchez. “What does it feel like to kill a man?”

“Look Ernesto (he was not yet known by his moniker “Che,”)” Sanchez would reply. “It was a war. I was in combat. It wasn’t a personal thing. Most soldiers don’t make it a personal thing. You aim at an enemy uniform and pull the trigger. That’s it.”

“But did you ever come upon a wounded enemy and kill him with the coup de grace?” A wide-eyed Ernesto Guevara would continue. “What did it feel like? I want to know what it feels like.”

“It became obvious to me that the man who would shortly become known as “Che” wanted to kill for the sake of the act itself,” recalled Sanchez later from exile in Miami. “For the others—especially Fidel and Raul Castro—killing was a means to an end. That end, of course, was absolute power. The Castros' power lust fueled their killing, and it didn’t seem to affect them one way or the other. With Ernesto Guevara, however, it struck me as a different motivation, a different lust.”

“He went into convulsions for a while and was finally still,” gloats Che Guevara in his Cuban diaries. He was lovingly describing the death agonies of a bound Cuban peasant he had just shot in the temple with his pistol. “Now his belongings were mine.”

Unwittingly here, Che Guevara defines Communism in a nutshell: cowardly murder and theft.

It wasn't that Communism in Cuba wasn't viable without economic support from Russia or Venezuela. The economy sucked because of the embargo. People were destitute and hungry because of the embargo. That was a lie. But many ordinary Cubans and many people in the rest of the world, including Lopez Obrador and Bernie Sanders, bought the lie.

Interesting article, thanks Dilbert. I didn't know the man was a bloodthirsty sicko.

Revolutionary Cuba and the Legacy of Fidel Castro

Cuba is facing a new set of challenges as a post-Castro leadership confronts the pandemic and its economic fallout. But Cuban socialism has repeatedly shown its capacity for survival and adaptation since the revolution of 1959.

The 1940 Cuban constitution remained symbolically important because it was never fully enacted. The text of that constitution fused radical nationalism with socialist approaches. The currents of socialism were already present, and not just in the PSP.

The question was: What kind of socialism would develop? In the end, the socialism that they developed was shaped by a number of things. The most obvious was the experience in the Sierra. That refers, to some extent, to the influence of Che Guevara and Raúl Castro. But it was also the process of shared struggle.

Because doctors in Cuba only made about $20 a month... Medical care, which formerly was lauded by many, is now terrible. People are dying because they can't get decent care in the hospitals, if they can even get into the hospitals... Originally Posted by Tiny

Behind Cuba’s Covid Uprising

Most poor countries put all hands on deck in this crisis. Havana exports its doctors.

By Mary Anastasia O’Grady

Cubans poured into the streets Sunday to protest the government’s handling of the Covid crisis. As the virus races across Cuba, independent lawyers, medical professionals and civil-society groups on the island have begged Havana to allow international humanitarian aid to reach people directly. The regime refuses. Now the crisis is near cataclysmic proportions.

Havana wants the world to believe that Cuban hardship in healthcare is caused by the U.S. embargo. But food and medicine are exempt from the embargo. As Julie Chung, now acting assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere Affairs, tweeted in April 2020, the U.S. “routinely authorizes the export of humanitarian goods, agricultural products, medicine, and medical equipment to support the Cuban people.” Ms. Chung further noted that in 2019 the U.S. exported millions of dollars of medical goods to Cuba.

Cuba’s real problem is that it’s broke. And while all poor countries in the region have struggled to serve the public during Covid-19, only Cuba has made things worse by trying to use the pandemic as a way to earn hard currency for the ruling elite and boost its legitimacy around the world.

Shortages of medications for treatable illnesses in Cuba are routine. The contagious mite infestation of the skin known as scabies, for example, can be remedied with antibiotics and topical medicines like permethrin. Yet Cuban public-health officials have been helpless to stop it from spreading across the island.

“It’s horrible and exasperating to see your children sick, and not be able to do anything because there are no medications,” a mother in the city of Mayarí told the newspaper Diario de Cuba in February. “I went to the hospital and there’s nothing to cure it either. It’s a tragedy.”

Cuba promotes itself as a world-class healthcare powerhouse. But as the scabies epidemic shows, the decrepit hospital and outpatient network cannot even tend to run-of-the-mill illnesses, never mind Covid-19. Things are not much better in the Cuban colony of Venezuela, where the virus is spreading, many medical professionals have fled, and basic needs in hospitals, like reliable running water, are no longer met.

On July 6, Diario de Cuba quoted a Facebook post by an emergency-room nurse at the Faustino Pérez Provincial Hospital, in the capital city of the province of Matanzas: “There are no beds or stretchers, a hospital without water for more than six hours in two periods of the day.”

The same story quoted a healthcare professional at Héroes del Moncada Polyclinic in the city of Cárdenas describing on Facebook the plight of the sick: They “do not receive medical attention when they need it most or they must wait in a deteriorated state of health in long lines, and the reason is that there is not enough health personnel to cover all the fronts.”

Cuba’s claim that it graduates thousands of qualified doctors and nurses every year is suspect. Yet even if the numbers are reliable, Havana’s practice of human trafficking robs the nation of available medical professionals.

The dictatorship claims it sends tens of thousands of healthcare workers around the globe out of altruism. But the medical missions are a money-making operation. Countries pay Havana for the workers in dollars or euros and it gives only a fraction of that income to the in-country Cuban. The rest it pockets.

In the State Department’s annual Trafficking in Persons Report, issued last month, Cuba gets a failing grade. The report described “a government policy or government pattern to profit from labor export programs with strong indications of forced labor, particularly its foreign medical missions program.” The report went on to say that in the past year Cuba “capitalized on the pandemic by increasing the number and size of medical missions and refused to improve the program’s transparency or address labor violations and trafficking crimes despite persistent allegations from observers, former participants, and foreign governments” of Cuban abuses.

This mistreatment includes confiscating documents and salaries and threatening workers and their families if they try to flee their assignments.

The regime’s medical-export survival strategy also creates a shortage of medications. Cuba produces pharmaceutical products but exports them for profit rather than making what is needed available to the population.

According to the Cárdenas medical worker’s Facebook post, “the reality is that there are no drugs to treat the different symptoms that Covid positive patients present.”

Yet Cuba is so eager to be recognized as a biotech pioneer that it is administering the homemade vaccine Abdala to Cubans and Venezuelans before it has cleared clinical trials or peer review and without informed consent. A June 25 bulletin from Venezuela’s National Academy of Medicine warned about the “experimental” nature of the product without “proven efficacy.”

Cuba wants the Biden administration to ease U.S. restrictions on things like travel to the island and remittances. Count on the regime to use the population’s agony as a negotiating tool.
