- For the past six years on this show, we've talked to working people from across the United States, from virtually every walk of life, about their lives, jobs, dreams, and struggles. But today, we’re going to talk about what it’s like to live and work in a country that has been designated a political enemy of US empire, a country that sits only 90 miles away from the US, a country that American politicians have resolved to strangle into oblivion for the past 60 years. In this episode, we speak with Liz Oliva Fernández from Cuba. Liz is an award-winning Cuban journalist with Belly of the Beast, an independent outlet covering Cuba and US-Cuba relations, and she is the presenter of two new documentaries, Hardliner on the Hudson and Uphill on the Hill. In addition to exposing the sinister interests behind, and the devastating real-world impacts of, the Cold War Cuban policy of Joe Biden’s administration, pushed by powerful hardliners like Senator Bob Menendez, former Chair of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the films also document Liz's experience as a Black journalist from the Global South coming to the US to confront the predominantly white politicians and interests waging economic war on her country. We talk about Liz's new films, and we talk about growing up in Cuba, becoming a journalist, and life for woking people in Cuba under the US-imposed blockade and designation of Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terrorism .

Excellent. These conversations are rare. As a first generation Cuban American, I would like to hear why Miami Cubans, who are living in relevant comfort, are so against ending this ridiculous embargo. It only hurts the people. Not those in power. Don’t people learn?

End U.S. economic terror at home and abroad!
As classes dominantes no planeta, agem aplicando sanções em seus próprios povos, principalmente os mais pobres, negros, indígenas, idosos. A comida é tão cara no Brasil quanto em Cuba como Venezuela. Apesar do salário mais alto, as classes dominantes roubam a maioria do valor. Porisso a pobreza não acaba em nossa região. Ninguém vive só para comer, como um peixe ou outro animal qualquer. Precisamos de itens básicos de sobrevivência além da alimentação, como moradia, vestuário, água, iluminação, lazer, etc. O bloqueio contra pessoas pobres são as sanções projetadas pelo colonizador. Fico por aqui, nessas linhas, senão terei que escrever um romance.
Really, really amazing show. Thank you very much to Liz and yourself. 💙🤍♥️
Intriguing ❤
During the pandemic, Cuba was exporting Covid medicines to Central and South America. Two pharmaceuticals owned 50-50% with Canada.

Cuba is Such a Good Countries The Doctors Support the Regimes in the Caribbean in Surinam After the Coup and the West Overtrow the Regime in Surinam When they destroyed the Economy had Hard time Cuban Doctors Go to Their and Help the Patients for Free 👍✌️
😂😂 they are intelligence officers. Or government slaves. The countries pay to Cuba for their services snd Cuba gives them a stipend
@@lizbethartemis4886 because your country doesn't helping for Free?
Here an idea! How about not disclosing stories to donors and if they wanna pull their funding let em. If he can’t jive with the message the. He isn’t a supporter. So obvious.
Also, ask her what happens to the oil Venezuela sends to Cuba? It is sold by Cuban government in transit - that is before it arrives to Cuba. 😂😂
The same oil that the greedy US government and corporations wanted to steal for their own ends? Much like the same manner that was done in Syria and Iraq.
Why don’t you ask yourself why (if this is even true) why the oil wld need to be sold in transit 😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯🙄🙄🙄
Why don’t you ask her why people cannot have a vegetable garden?
