Iran calls the bluff of the U.S. Empire and Cuba will do the same

by Ed Newman

On today’s program, we discuss Iran’s resounding victory over the Zionist entity and Yankee imperialism, which have bowed to the Iranian military resistance and the lethal consequences for its economy of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

We will also discuss the emblematic visit to Cuba by U.S. Democratic Congressmen Pramila Jayapal and Jonathan Jackson, who have stated things such as: “The oil blockade is causing incalculable suffering to the Cuban people,” “it is a cruel collective punishment—which, in practice, amounts to an economic bombardment of the country’s infrastructure—and has caused permanent damage.” “We witnessed firsthand premature babies in incubators, weighing barely a kilogram,” they added, “who are at tremendous risk because their ventilators and incubators cannot function without electricity. Children cannot go to school because there is no fuel for them or their teachers to travel. Cancer patients cannot receive life-saving treatments due to a lack of medication. There is a water shortage because there is little electricity to pump it. Businesses have closed. Families cannot keep food refrigerated, and food production on the island has fallen to only 10 percent of the population’s needs.”

We also look at the medical cooperation programs that have been shut down by several Latin American and Caribbean governments due to threats of sanctions from the U.S. State Department: Jamaica, Honduras, Guatemala, Paraguay, the Bahamas, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Guyana… This is an exercise in subservience and a servile attitude on the part of these governments, whose poorest populations have benefited for decades from the free care provided by thousands of Cuban doctors. The U.S. organization Code Pink writes about this in an article titled “The U.S. War on Cuban Doctors,” which includes testimonials like this one: “The Cuban ophthalmologists in Jamaica are the only reason my grandmother didn’t go completely blind in one eye after a botched surgery. The work they have done for rural and poor Jamaicans is immeasurable,” a Twitter user wrote last week, after the first group of Cuban doctors and nurses left Jamaica. Two weeks ago, hundreds of Jamaicans marched in a “gratitude walk” to thank Cuba for 50 years of medical solidarity.

We’ll also talk about the Ladies in White, the Plata y (buena) Vida (a derogatory term for a wealthy, often unscrupulous, group), Yotuel Romero (who bought brands like Paria y Vida and forgotten musical groups like Orishas), and other shameless opportunists and collaborators with the murderous blockade suffered by the Cuban people.

And we’ll return to the ghost of Forbes magazine, which, twenty years ago, suffered one of its most appalling embarrassments when it accused Fidel Castro of possessing a fortune. He challenged them… and we’re still waiting for them to present the “proof” of the accounts they claimed he had. Well, today — don’t be surprised by anything in the post-truth era — there are media outlets that continue to make those claims. Today we’re going to give these liars another piece of our minds!
