The War on Cuba - Episode 6
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 ноя 2021
- Liz Oliva Fernández exposes the striking disconnect between U.S. policy and Cuba’s reality. Liz reveals the absurdity of Biden’s offers to “help” the Cuban people with donations of vaccines, Internet access and remittances that bypass local financial institutions. She shows how Biden, pandering to Cuban-American hardliners in Miami, has abandoned his promise to reinitiate the Obama-era policy of engagement with Cuba. Liz also reports on the crackdown against protesters and contextualizes both repression in Cuba and the U.S. government’s supposed concern for human rights abuses in the region.

Thank you for this look inside Cuba, Even in Canada media lies about the happenings there are stupid and misinformed. I love your series. #CubaSolidarity!
The problem is... you don't really know what the truth is! She's obviously a Cuban nationalist just giving her nationalists perspective. Perspective is not truth. Much like a North Korean Nationalists will give a perspective. The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. But we do know from people who lived on both sides and she's never lived on both sides. so understand that.
Just like everything else led by the USA
@@mikecamacho1934 North Korea is a much more isolated country. It was subjected to a merciless bombing campaign during the Korea war which destroyed most of the country. It is also subjected to US Sanctions. This is a declassified US State dept document.
499. Memorandum From the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Mallory) to the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Rubottom)1
Washington , April 6, 1960.
SUBJECT
The Decline and Fall of Castro
Salient considerations respecting the life of the present Government of Cuba are:
1.The majority of Cubans support Castro (the lowest estimate I have seen is 50 percent).
2.There is no effective political opposition.
3.Fidel Castro and other members of the Cuban Government espouse or condone communist influence.
4.Communist influence is pervading the Government and the body politic at an amazingly fast rate.
5.Militant opposition to Castro from without Cuba would only serve his and the communist cause.
6.The only foreseeable means of alienating internal support is through disenchantment and disaffection based on economic dissatisfaction and hardship.
If the above are accepted or cannot be successfully countered, it follows that every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.
The principal item in our economic quiver would be flexible authority in the sugar legislation. This needs to be sought urgently. All other avenues should likewise be explored. But first, a decision is [Page 886]necessary as to the line of our conduct. Would you wish to have such a proposal prepared for the Secretary?2
@@kimobrien. Amen
@@mikecamacho1934 No matter what you think, the blockade is a crime against the humanity. "The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle" is not even a thing to consider when Cuba is sanctioned in EVERY sphere of his economics. Despite the disanvantages (a LOT comes from the blockade) Cuba succeed to bring free healthcare, affordable housing, Social welfare and free education when a rival capitalist country with equivalent economic development have none of that mentioned above WITHOUT ANY sanctions and of top of that they even have billions financed by global north country. It is as obvious to know that the USA is wrong in sanctionning Cuba than it is with blaming nazi for the holocaust.
Thanks for educating us about Cuba…your videos are critical in exposing the deliberate disinformation coming from the Cuban-American community. Keep up the good work… viva Cuba!!!!
The Cuban-American community..? Do you mean the hundreds of thousands of Cuban born citizens which were forced to leave their native country? Many risking their lives on makeshift rafts and shark infested waters to flee a communist dictatorship in power for over 60 years, with little regard for the common Cuban citizen? Monjue have you ever lived under a totalitarian government? Ask yourself this. If Cuba is so wonderful, why aren't there people flocking to immigrate to this supposed paradise? You need to educate yourself on the actual people of Cuba today and why they are screaming for freedom in their own land. But if you insist that Cuba's government is so wonderful, why don't you just try to live there for merely one year... Let me know how that goes for you...?
@@gregrodriguez714 over 700 billion US dollars lost cause usa *greg* , do you know how much that is lost för the cuban people
@@alnerisoldier8081 700 billion US dollars lost ? Thousands of Cuban lives lost trying to cross the ocean. How many billions of dollars are their lives worth to you..? I don't know???
Education?? Do you even know what the name of the channel means?
This is a lie.
American people are totally ignorant of Cuban History. The little bit of history that Americans think they know is totally wrong. You are doing the right thing. I applaud you for your work. Please continue the fight and don't give up !!!!
To be fair, why would you expect someone to learn the history of a country that isn’t their own?
You would be surprised what Americans know about Cuba, at least the educated ones. Did you know that the US built the sea wall in Habana(Malecon)? Did you know that the US helped get rid of Yellow Fever in Cuba? Did you know that the US bought pharmaceuticals from Cuba for years. We may still. Hey, we bought oil from Venezuela for many years until bush stopped it. Chavez even helped the state of Massachusetts with heating oil. I don't know why he came back from the grave to mess with our elections, lol.
#15Nada ended up being a great symbolic victory for Cuba, the whole matter is literally a satire in itself... It shows precisely that: that the United States is constantly sieging, squeezing, threatening and causing misery and shortage to the Cuban People, throwing away millions and millions of dollars to deprive them of their right to self determination. Meanwhile, Cuba is one of the most inspiring, joyful, epic, just and altogether brave country on the face of the Earth, able to produce its own vaccines, and provide full healthcare and education, work, housing, and basic nutrition with sanctions that would bring down many a-crystal skyscraper...
They did the same to Allendes's government in the 70's, to Nicaragua and to Venezuela since Chavez
No hables tanta mierda loco. Ese cuento no te lo crees ni tú. Sabes que a los cubanos los tienen oprimidos dentro de Cuba. Pasando hambre y miserias. Estás callendo en la falacia de todos los comunistas comparar lo ideal con lo real. Vamos a la realidad. En Cuba hay gente que no tienen techo. Hay mendigos por las calles también. Los hospitales sólo son públicos donde el personal para poder sustentar su familia tiene que vender los medicamentos que les da el gobierno supuestos a ser usados con los pacientes. Porque en Cuba el salario que te da el estado no alcanza para nada. Los dirigentes son los primeros que roban y ganan por desviar recursos. Entiendan que la corrupción es síntoma de que el estado está trabando el desarrollo del mercado. En Cuba hay corrupción en todas las esferas. No hay producción y limitan las libertades de los cubanos a comprar medios de producción afuera. Todo lo manipula el gobierno, ese grupo de hijos de puta que tienen empresas en otros países que se dedican a inflar los precios para después decir que es culpa del bloqueo que nos venden las cosas 5 veces más caras. Que expliquen a que precio compran los productos importados que representan el 98 porciento. cuantos se hechan a perder por sus impagos y atrasos. Esas compras de tratados que ustedes hacen son un descaro.
The USA is an evil country. It has always been that way. It has been intervening in Cuba since the 19th century. Cuba has never completely succumbed to this aggression unlike poor Haiti which has been turned into a feudal dystopia by the US’ constant meddling in partnership with the local oligarchs in Haiti. Sadly, the collapse of the USA appears to be the only way out. If that is indeed the case, then speedily may that happen.
This situation makes me ashamed of my country's government, and the media for being complicit. The Cuban people are suffering. If you're not angry, you're part of the large majority of Americans that didn't get the real story.
Thanks again for this amazing and undercommunicated look inside Cuba and the cuban people. Cuba started to thrive when Obama lifted restrictions, and the american administration is terrified of that. I hope Cuba one day will be allowed to have freedom from American terror and be allowed to be the country it is. Solidarity from Norway!
10 percent of kids vaccinated in US ok n November 22. All children in Cuba and all adults are vaccinated by January 1st. The worst vaccinated country in Cuba is Austria at 66 percent, a thing the US will never achieve.
Cuban American politics don't want restrictions lifted, go figure 🤔🤔

@carlybaez122 they want the govt ousted that's why
As someone who participated in the July 11 Protest and has been raised to hate the regime , I’m now second guessing if everything I have been taught is true , the more I dive deep into the topic the more flaws I see , Cuba has work to do but definitely is not entirely at fault , Real Eye Opener.
Thank you for the honesty
it's great to be armed with these facts. Thank you
I agree. If the U.S. stopped the blockade against Cuba, it would thrive. Because of this, the U.S. WILL NOT leave Cuba alone, because if Cuba prospers, the U.S. Cuba haters will be embarrassed. I hope someday Cuba can break free, but it will take drastic changes in the political culture of the U.S. to make this a reality. History will not look kindly on the U.S. for the evil it has propagated all over the globe.
I appreciate this Docu-series. The truth will prevail.
Fantastic series. Cuba is close to my heart, for personal reasons.
Thank you Liz and entire team.
Absolutely love this series!
Excellente !!! big up from your island neighbors/primos watching from Jamaica. love the last words, "stop making our lives more difficult , just leave us alone , enough already " . I hope one day both our countries can be left alone and allowed to thrive.
Jamaica is a country of billionaires compared to Cuba. My uncle, a drunken retired Cuban KGB told me: Hugh Buchanan, who became a congressman from St. Elizabeth when his father died in 2011. He was brainwashed in Cuba just like you and sent back to Jamaica to destroy democracy.
Yes, the Trojan Horse, as the communists call it, the son of Donald Dukc Buchanan wants to establish a dictatorship in Jamaica just like the one in Cuba so that you starve, silly. And they have done the same with all the children of politicians and influential people who have studied in Cuba. They send them back to later turn countries like they did in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia into countries of miserable and hungry slaves.
Thanks to the whole team behind this great series of videos! End the US sanctions on all countries! Only Love for the people in Cuba!
Amazing series. I have always wanted to visit Cuba, and now even more. All the episodes were captivating and so informative. I learned so much about Cuban-US relations and geopolitics in general. Muchas gracias Liz y todas las personas implicadas en este proyecto. (Watching from Bamako, Mali)
Thankyou for the presentation ! Please keep us informed ! Appreciated very much !
Well done!!! TY for education us in this little known topic!!! It is so sad to see how ignorant most Americans are about the toxic relationship that US imperialism fosters for this small, yet proud, carribean nation.
Viva Las Revolución Cubana abajo el Bloqueo Económico hacia el pueblo Cubano ..
great journalism❤️ viva cuba 🇨🇺
solidarity forever!!! from Houston tx!!
Excellent, informative, and insightful... This is a terrific series, and Episode 6 is particularly good, packed with information about the many deficiencies of US policy towards Cuba. So sad that Biden didn't follow up on his pre-election commitments, and instead has lost any claims to a moral policy on Cuba--as he throws everything into "winning Florida" in the 2022 midterms.
As one of the experts said in explaining the courting of Cuban Americans, it's downright foolish. There's nothing the Biden administration could do to swing enough conservatives in Florida, whether Cuban Americans or otherwise. It's laughably preposterous. For Democrats to win in Florida (or most other places), they need to demonstrate they can meaningfully make people's lives better, which is all most young people want. They're not fooling the overwhelming majority, who have been disillusioned to the point of disengagement.
Awesome job Senorita Fernandez. Keep on speaking truth, you're enlightening Americans.
Amazing video 👏
"Leave us alone. Enough already."
AMEN!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
If socialism is bound to fail, then the US would not need to go out of its way to make sure that it does.
I feel for the people of Cuba. Before the US trade embargo was lifted from Vietnam, we were in the same situation. I remembered being a child suffering from asthma and having no puffers or medication for it. Every time I had an asthma attack, my mother worried that it would be my last. The US likes to interfere with countries and unless it serves their interests, they do nothing or cause damage. If Clinton didn’t need Vietnam geopolitically in the South China Sea to exert pressure on China, the embargo would be still on.
I love the people of Cuba and its ability to be sovereign from the political and capitalistic influences of the US to take care of their people.
The last time I went to Cuba in December 2021, I brought extra luggage full of food and medicine. I’m supporting the Cuban people and their independence! Place with heavy US influences on tourism like the Dominican Republic and Mexico, I stopped going because it’s too unsafe and the local people don’t much benefit from those businesses but their natural environment is degraded quickly.
Excellent doc series
Leave Cuba alone!!! Acere Ya!!!!
Excellent series. This episode is one of the best since it addresses events happening now and policies in the US that remain opaque but nonetheless piss on one of the best things Obama did in his eight years.
I will admit that this series tends to be more biased towards the Cuban government but it is less biased and offers a way more NUANCED and objective perspective than the antagonistic misinformation campaign by the America and western media.
Biased toward.tje Cuban government? Most of us agree with Cuba living here in Cuba. Biased is. Funny word.to use here. You're American .
Shut up Biden
I agree. The fact that she interviewed a journalist who was repressed by the government, says a lot when they themselves admit that the government’s response to the protest has been over exaggerated by western media and Miami cubans.
Thank you so much for continuing this series! Absolutely enlightening and well-made and honest.
bravo and i will pay anything for more episodes/new season asap, amazing amazing work
Beautiful videos. Finally the real Cuba with its contradictions, but also with a real humanity that only socialism can provide. A breath of fresh air in the black atmosphere of old Europe! Thanks Liz and Belly of the beas Cuba channel!
i love your work!
Great series. Keep it up.
DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS??? THINK PUERTO RICO !!!
Thank you for these documentaries. Cuba is a beautiful country with beautiful people. A wish you strength!
I watched all 6 episodes and found them extremely informative. Nice to see and hear inside story from Cubans who actually live there instead of through the lens of Americans and others who typically have their alternative agendas.
Congratulations Liz and the whole team for these excellent videos. I watched the whole 6 episodes. Everyone should take a few minutes to watch these videos. They are very well made. They explain the situation very well. It is high time that these American sanctions fall. Call your politicians and let them know that you don't agree. Encourage them to make a statement. As we can see, it doesn't matter whether it is the Democrats or the Republicans in power, it doesn't change anything. I maybe wrong but my understanding is that they both serve the same people. And they are the ones who hate Cuba so badly because as I understand, they felt pressured to leave when the revolution got closer to La Havana. I dont know exactly how it happened but thats how it looks like. The US mafia was in charge in Cuba. They no longer in charge of Cuba but they make Cubans pay a great price. Cuba was a beautiful playground for them and all their illegal activities. They’re still angry and are revengeful because they left beautiful houses that they built in Vedado and Miramar (rich neighborhoods of Havana) etc. I can understand that. But at the same time, it was probably built with money that was not gained honestly so.... I think they know that without the sanctions, Cuba would thrive and they don't want people to see and realize that socialism can work and can be good for a country and its people. What we see of Capitalism in the US is homeless people left by themselves and dying on the streets. They want capitalism everywhere and of course, with them on top. Enough with the unjustified sanctions. Viva Cuba ! Leave them alone!
Thank you for this real view into Cuba.
Excelente como siempre. Desde la RUclipsr cubana #ProduccioneSofi los felicito. #LaRazónEsNuestroEscudo
Glover and Stone should make it possible for this production to enter mainstream or at least have someone interview Liz. I’m sick and tired of this back and forth. I’m also tired of folks like Menendez and Rubio having a say in this story. I’m curious about Menendez aunt not being able to receive remittances. Does that mean he was able to do so before? And Marco? He wants to advocate for some type of regime change but is in the party that attempted to overthrow the us government, supports white supremacists and represents a state with a corrupt police that abuses power
Love you Liz! Love your work!!! Power and solidarity to the Cuban people and their government!
Great content, this one was very interesting because of two things:
- The software development company you interviewed and how the internet limitations affect their work
- The vaccine resources to make the Abdala/Soberana and how the embargo affected it
Thank you so much!
great documentary!
END THE BLOCKADE!!! And watch how Cuba will grow.
LOL right, explain me something how there's a "Blockade" when the government of Cuba just recently bought 600 cars for tourists to use? I mean if there's a Blockade how could they buy cars to South Korea?
hope to see that one day , can you imagen Cuba free from Blockage , sanctions and embargos?
Right, end the Embargo and Cuba's repression of their own people will reach levels never seen before. Ridiculous.
Liz, please do more videos on the Cuban people. Your series is so well done. The Miami Cuban community have it all wrong. This was so eye opening for me. I am a Spanish American.
usa makes me sick to my stomach the wrong it is doing to Cuba. Most people in usa have no idea how evil the United States is around the world and especially in Cuba. Love your vid's
Good program. As of today, 80% of Cuba's population has been vaccinated and Covid cases have drastically decreased. Vaccination is voluntary in Cuba. Cubans trust their government produced vaccines. We still have not achieved that vaccination rate here in the US and many people do not trust the MRN vaccines.
Excellent video...they are getting better and better...the truth that the US government does not want to see.
Well done, thanks
Thankyou for your continued open and unbiased look into how politics frustrates the ability for people to work together. Viva La Cuba
I love Liz and Cuba. I hate America and my country Canada for being so mean to the people, who are just trying to live
Wonderful series. I've watched them all. Thanks. It's so hard to get real news from Cuba and about Cuba. All we get is slanted and distorted. From what we were heard it was like Cuban people were out in the streets by the thousands for weeks!
Me encanta, y es muy importante lo k hacemos 🥰💪🏽💪🏽🇨🇺🌈🙏🏽
Haha the humor of the US providing Internet to Cuba. For decades, the US has refused to let any cables that also connect to the US also connect to Cuba. In the end Cuba had to get a cable all the way from Venezuela, even though the US is right there and dozens of fibre cables are in the waters near Cuba connecting various parts of the Carribean.
Another GR8 presentation of current Cuban issues. Keep them coming.
Thank you!
Gracias Otra vez
Gracias por mantener informados al mundo sobre la realidad del bloqueo en Cuba. #NoMásBloqueo
Ayyyy another ep! Ty!
Liz, I love your documentaries.
super documental espero que ayude a entender aun mas la complejidad de la realidad política cubana .
Thank you.
Besides some protest I spotted(after it was done) in NYC (in Union Square),I was clueless about 2021 summer demonstrations.
Extraordinario documento sobre las protestas y la realidad política cubana. Muy buena producción y excelente información sobre los efectos de la pandemia en el país. Liz es una muy buena conductora. Felicidades!
Why are Cuban Americans out of touch with Cubans? That needs to be addressed immediately.
Brainwashed with the American prosperity and U.S political brain washing
Every since first time I Went to Island back in 1995 with Pastors for Peace no looking back! Married there and go back fairly often. We have a second place deep in Sierra Maestre Mountains!
This woman speaks TRUTH!!!
Excellent viewing. Best wishes. London.
Respect
No JODAN MAS leave Cuba alone!!!
Wonderful video, it shows the true..unblockcuba
Awesome video
Mexico was the one of only two countries in the Americas to maintain diplomatic ties with Cuba throughout the Cuban missile crisis, not to mention during the largest migration of Cubans into America many of them were granted safe passage and refugee status in Mexico while they were waiting for their US visas despite all this Cubans always talk smack about Mexico 🤷♂️
Great series! I hope I can visit Cuba again in future. It is such a nice island wiht so lovely people. Hopefully the sanctions against Cuba will end and the cubans can live their life in free. Greetings from Germany! Sorry for my bad englisch.
To the protestors: you protest, USA increases the sanctions. So you are asking the punisher to increase the punishment.
Está jovencita locutora sufre de un
" DAÑO ANTROPOLOGICO " que es cuando, además del deterioro social, económico y cultural en un país, hay daño a la condición humana, la persona pierde la conciencia de sí misma y no es capaz de evaluar la realidad de manera razonable e independiente ".
The serie is very well done, the reality and the complexity of Cuba situation is showing without partiality, the repercussion of United States blockage against Cuban people is a fact that has been affected the life of an entire country, the policy's of US against our country are inhuman and unfair with any that supports the sanctions except the resistance of Cuban people to be colonized again

Hola hola!
Great video
I am so proud of you
¡Alabado! Me encantas. UNA fuente que cuenta la verdad. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Excelent information Thanks, American media is a joke is sad.
Politicians are more concerned about power than people.
I pray that I will be able to visit Cuba some day. I am what White people call an "Afro American". I feel that I am somehow connected to Cuba. I hope that Biden starts allowing ordinary Americans to travel again to Cuba. (By the way, Americans say that we are a free country. So I ask, why then can't I travel to Cuba?) What Americans don't know or care to know is that Cuba has been fighting for democracy since the late 1800s. Each time the U.S. has stopped the people of Cuba from obtaining their freedom. The Batista government was brutal, dictatorial, and abusive. Castro was Cuba's hope for freedom. He would have never become communist, if the U.S. had recognized his government. America should give credit to Castro for so many good things that he did, not to mention surviving under the inhumane treatment of the U.S. for over half a century.
Here in Canada we have Americans fly to Cuba all the time.When you arrive in Cuba your passport won’t be stamped so that when you go back to the USA they won’t know that you have been to Cuba.Happy travels.I have been to Cuba many times and they are the nicest and most friendly people and Cuba is a safe place to visit and no gun and drug violence.
Its not that hard...a bit more expensive.
fly to any major or even smaller Canadian city and get on a plane.
or go through Dominican republic, or Jamaica.
These videos take away the comments that they don't like ...
The part about killings and torture was not entirely false. A few people were killed/injured during the recent protests, and thousands of people have been killed and tortured through the years of the regime's rule.
Do anyone know how I can help the Cubans over there in Cuba. I live here in Miami and I truly want to help no matter what.
Awesome
How could 3% of Cubans in America vote 6% of vote. Sir make it make sense!!!!
It’s because not everyone votes. So while general turnout is lower generally speaking, the Cuban American voting bloc tends to turn up and vote much more consistently than the rest of the population
They are 3% in Florida. But, for extreme example sake, if in the next Florida election ONLY Cuban Americans there turned out to vote, they would make up 100% of the vote. It all has to do with actual voter turnout. Roughly 50% of registered voters in the US nationwide do not actually turnout to vote. Of those who do vote, remember, they are split between Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. So the next time you hear a politician talking about “the American people have spoken”, they are referring to their own voters, who at best maybe represent 20-25% of just the voting population, less of the population overall. True democracy is a myth in the US.
Only adults are supposed to vote...but, NOT all adults vote. Cubans act as a solid voting block.
Exist democrosy in cuba ? The people had right of choise of your government? Exist freedom choise ? The people can wroten against government communist party cuban?
If escape for florida go choise someone in other country? A "enime"country ,Unite states ever to support government communist party cuba with banks.
Nailed it! It's all about that mythical swing voter.
