You know, Cuba has a medication, nose drops, that appears to be preventing
people from catching Covid-19. All of the proper testing of this medication
hasn't been completed, but it's been working. However, no one is writing about
it in the mainstream press.

The world's most vicious, ruthless Terrorist is a nation that has only 5% of
the planet's population, but over ten times the military hardware than that of
all other nations combined.
This Terrorist is currently led by a mentally unbalanced man. While he is not
the only unstable leader on the planet, he does command the mightiest military
might ever assembled.
The rest of the world watches while this unbalanced man juggles between the
numbers of factions that pressure him to bend this way or that. He is like the
tight rope walker, balancing on a wire high above an eternal fire, without any
support net.

The following statement is by the National Network on Cuba (NNOC).
Socialist Action has been an affiliate of NNOC since its formation
decades ago.
The National Network on Cuba is outraged that the U.S. State
Department has threatened to return Cuba to its “list of state
sponsors of terrorism.” It has now taken the step of including Cuba in
a so-called list of countries certified as not cooperating fully with alleged
U.S.
counterterrorism efforts. This is especially reprehensible in the
midst of the coronavirus pandemic and the leading role that Cuba is
playing in the global fight against the deadly virus.
This decision was taken just days after the Cuban Embassy was cowardly
attacked. The State Department made its announcement on the same day
that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez
Parrilla, in an international press conference, accused the U.S.
Government for its complicit silence in the face of the terrorist
attack against the Cuban Embassy in the center of the nation’s capital
in the early morning of April 30. To date there has been no official response
from the U.S.
Government to this unprecedented attack on a diplomatic mission.
During the press conference Foreign Minister Rodríguez said “The
terrorist attack against the Cuban Embassy is the result of the policy
of hate of the US government.”
He added, “It is the Government of the United States that uses State
terrorism as a weapon against countries that oppose its domination,
uses reprehensible methods such as torture and employs advanced
military technology, including drones, to extra-judicially execute
alleged terrorists, including American citizens, and has also caused
numerous deaths of innocent people among the civilian population”.
In fact, it was personnel at the embassy who were forced to endure the
reality of terrorism firsthand in a hail of bullets from an assault rifle.
We are also deeply pained to learn that the statue of Cuba’s beloved
José Martí was defaced during the attack.
If this attack had occurred at any other embassy in Washington D.C.
there would have been a full-scale investigation. Instead, the U.S.
Government released a statement painting Cuba and other countries as
terrorist in another falsehood to justify its vicious blockade against
the Cuban people.
Cuba has supported countries and people from all over the world;
sending health professionals to assist those in need during times of crisis.
Time and again Cuba has sent medical professionals to places around
the world where others dared not go … across Africa, the Caribbean,
South America, Central America, Europe and Asia.
Cuba has historically offered a rational voice on a wide range of
topics geared towards global improvement and worldwide collaboration.
These topics have included environmental issues, housing, affordable
health care, gender equality, racial equality, access to free
education, literacy campaigns, and a plethora of other global concerns.
It is the height of hypocrisy for the US government to accuse Cuba of
not opposing terrorism This action is yet another attempt to distort
the truth about Cuba.
In a recent tweet, Cuban Ambassador José Ramón Cabañas said it all:
“Our statement on the decision of U.S. Government to add #Cuba to the
so called list of Countries Certified as Not Cooperating Fully With U.S.
Counterterrorism Efforts:
“It is another step in the wrong direction, to justify the regress in
bilateral relations, satisfy the electoral interests of a small group
of politicians in Florida. It is another action not supported by
evidence that also disregards how important has been the bilateral
cooperation in issues that include law enforcement. Cuba was a victim,
throughout the years, of terrorist actions organized from U.S. soil
and we have maintained a firm and consequent position against such practices.”
We demand that the U.S. Government put a halt to its misinformation
campaign aimed at justifying its demonic treatment of Cuba that
dehumanizes the Cuban people. These efforts have been practiced and
refined since the triumph of the Cuban revolution.
We demand that the U.S. Government be held accountable for releasing
inaccurate information about Cuba and other countries around the world.
We encourage people around the globe to express what terrorism looks
like in their country and to identify who is truly responsible for
those terrorist actions.
The truth is the U.S. Government has funded, armed, educated, and
supported terrorist actions all over the world. They orchestrate and
support coups all over the world. Their campaigns of miseducation are
geared towards the destabilization of countries who oppose imperialist
ideas. It is the U.S. that is responsible for terrorizing nature,
people, countries, economic systems, learning institutions, and
people’s cultures. It is the U.S. that has had their wicked hand in
the cookie jar of land occupation all around the world, including in
Africa, Palestine, the Caribbean, and the Americas.
Long live global solidarity!
