Gee do you think the CIA is so stupid as to not provide a cover
for
their assets in Cuba? Do you think that everything is either black or
white? Are there not some people who are willing to take CIA money an
sup****t them on some issues while opposing them on others, or after
finding out who they are really dealing with, change their minds? It
would be incredible if it were not so. Of course there will be Cuban
dissidents who oppose US policy some perhaps morethan Cuban policy.
There are likely officials in Cuba that have been bribed by the
U.S. or
for their own benefit try to cheat others out of what they should be
allowed. Corruption exists in Cuba and it is well known. Many in the
government are trying to fight it, because corruption will damage any
economy whether in Cuba or elsewhere. Some may be harmed by the
corruption and think it government policy that they're being harmed.
These people are vulnerable to CIA propaganda and can become
dissidents. Their existence doesn't mean anything is wrong with the
government of Cuba. Every country has dissidents. I live in Canada
and I consider myself a dissident pacifist,... among other things.
All in all, look at what these governemnts do, not at what any of
us
say on this newsgroup, or any other newsgroup. Not at what governments
say either. Look at what they do. Cuba sends doctors, nurses and
health care professionals to third world countries and other places,
they don't send their army to conquer and destroy. Cuba has developed
an educational program for literacy that has been ex****ted to many
countries as well. They don't go around setting bombs nor trying
economic destabilization tactic on other nations. Cuba also does not
ex****t torture nor do they have a string of torture camps around the
world like the U.S. has. In short Cuba is involved with humanistic
works that help people, especially poor people, (the ones who need the
help). Think about what you have seen yourself. Don't take my word
for it. Open your eyes and look around. Set the propaganda aside and
ask yourself who is doing what and what are the consequences of their
actions? What is really going on in Cuba? Are money and possessions
the real key to happiness, or is it our relation****ps with our friends
and neighbours and a sense of community that helps us the most in life?
Does somebody else have to get hurt in order for you to be happy? Can
we get along better with competition or cooperation?
