Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Your virtue signalling is EPIC dude. Well done. You deserve a round of applause for that.

I sincerely hope that more folks agree with me than SSG. If not, this country is more far gone than I imagined.

Democrats claim to fight for the oppressed but they're not showing it with Cuba. SSG is talking about free trade with Cuba while people are begging for freedom and change. I can only surmise that SSG doesn't really care about the oppressed. He's most concerned with pushing socialism.

If you weren't so concerned about putting on a show you would have actually read what he wrote. He acknowledged the situation and simply gave you some information about Canada trading with them. I know you will come back with some straw man, but I that's okay.

Here's your strawman. You need to examine your soul tonight.

Cuban YouTuber says she is being taken away by state security during live interview



(CNN)Cuban YouTuber Dina Fernandez, known as Dina Stars, said she was being taken away by Cuban state security forces in Havana during a live interview on Tuesday.


Fernandez was being interviewed, along with singer Yotuel, by Spanish broadcaster Canal 4 about the unprecedented anti-government protests in which thousands of people took to the streets across the communist-run island on Sunday.
During the conversation, Fernandez interrupted the interview saying "the state's security forces are here. I have to go," then handed off her computer to a friend who took it to another room, keeping the camera and microphone on. Male voices can be heard in the background, though it is unclear what they are saying.

Moments after, the YouTuber returns and tells the interviewer she's been asked to come with who she said were police officers, adding that the Cuban government is now responsible for her whereabouts.
No security forces are seen from the video and Fernandez does not appear to be forcibly taken away.
"I hold the government responsible for anything that could happen to me. I have to go."


ernandez then is asked if she is being detained. She responds, "I don't know. They told me to come along with them."
CNN has contacted the Cuban authorities regarding Fernandez, with no response so far.
Anti-government activists in the country say that more than 100 people have been arrested or are missing on the island following widespread protests on Sunday.
The Movimiento San Isidro, which advocates for greater artistic expression in Cuba, published a list of activists that it said were believed to have been detained by authorities.


Among the detainees is journalist Camila Acosta, according to Spain's Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares, who called for her release. Acosta writes for the ABC newspaper in Madrid, the Spanish capital.
One person died during clashes with police on Monday, Cuba's Ministry of Interior said Tuesday, according to state-run Radio Rebelde.
The Interior Ministry said the man who died and other protesters had attacked officials.
On Sunday, CNN journalists witnessed multiple people being forcibly arrested and thrown in the back of vans at protests in Havana. Videos of the protest showed demonstrators turning over a police car and throwing rocks at officers.
The Cuban government has not said how many people were arrested or injured in the disturbances.
These are the largest protests on the island in decades, triggered by anger at a lack of food and medicine as the country undergoes a grave economic crisis aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic and US sanctions.

CNNE's Kiarinna Parisi contributed to this report.

But, sure, let's talk about free trade with Castro and Canada. Wow.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Thus far SSG has wholeheartedly thrown his support behind the dictatorship of Cuba and talked glowingly about Canada's free trade with the dictator. I believe he said he has vacationed in Cuba. Likewise, Trudeau was big fan of Fidel Castro.


Black Lives Matter has come out and taken basically the same position as SSG and Trudeau.

Personally, I think BLM is nothing more than a terrorist orgaination.

Black Lives Matter blames US, praises Cuban regime, social media erupts


Black Lives Matter faced fierce criticism late Wednesday after posting a statement that blasted the U.S. and praised Cuba's government while the island was destabilized by historic protests and violent crackdowns.


The statement – originally posted on Instagram and later tweeted and retweeted – blamed the U.S. embargo for the country's instability and credited the Cuban government for historically granting "Black revolutionaries" asylum.


Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, was quick to rebuke an initial tweet that linked to the statement.


"The extortionist ring known as the Black Lives Matter organization took a break today from shaking down corporations for millions & buying themselves mansions to share their support for the Communist regime in #Cuba," Rubio tweeted.

PITBULL PLEADS FOR HELP FOR THE CUBAN PEOPLE







Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday denied claims that the U.S. was to blame. He said Cuba faces a long list of problems. He said Cubans are tired of living under a mismanaged economy.


"That is what we are hearing and seeing in Cuba, and that is a reflection of the Cuban people, not of the United States or any other outside actor," he said.


BLM called for the U.S. to lift the sanctions that are "cruel and inhumane policy, instituted with the explicit intention of destabilizing the country and undermining Cubans’ right to choose their own government, is at the heart of Cuba’s current crisis."

I re-learning a lot about liberals lately.


1. You're a bunch of baby killers that think nothing of crushing the skull of an unborn child at 9-months

2. You love you some dictators - Castro and don't give a damn about the people of Cuba.

And how do you feel about donny boy attempting to use the DOJ as his own personal hit squad? LOL
Luckily there were smarter people than trump in charge of the DOJ and they just laughed at him and told him to go sit at his tiny desk. Hahahahaha

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

.. you need to stop watching so much right wing propaganda and stop beiieving every lie the ex President said.

Cuba is a beautiful tropical country that for the last 30+years Canada has maintained an open border with.

I acknowledge there are political problems and civil unrest but in large part this has been made worse by the US embargo forcing Cuba to seek assistance from other countries like China.

WHOOP! There it is! HAHAHA!!!
Who said anything about the "ex-President"???? Nobody but you!
And this isn't some "right-wing propoganda". All you have to do is listen to the CUBAN PEOPLE who are protesting en masse in their country because they are tired of COMMUNISM!
Actions like the dictators in Cuba shutting down internet access so their people can't "get the word out".

Does the ex-president also live rent-free in your head like CopierAddict?

Communism is BAD. PERIOD!
