The most honest statement ever made about Cuba policy came from a State Department memo in 1960, written before the sanctions were fully implemented.
The memo, written by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Lester Mallory, stated that the U.S. should pursue a policy to bring about hunger, desperation, and overthrow of the Cuban government.
Not: respond to "Cuban repression."
Not: protect Cuban human rights.
Not: promote democracy.
Hunger. Desperation. Overthrow.
This memo is declassified. It is in the historical record. It is not disputed.
It means that every subsequent year of sanctions, every subsequent citation of Cuban poverty and dysfunction as evidence of socialist failure, every subsequent American official expressing concern for the welfare of the Cuban people:
All of it happened downstream of a documented decision to deliberately produce hunger and desperation in that population.
This is not a conspiracy theory.
It is a declassified government document.
The conspiracy was the policy.
The theory was written in plain English by an American official in 1960 and has been implemented faithfully for 66 years since.
What they wanted to prove, they engineered the conditions to prove.
And then they called it evidence.
ALT U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Lester D. Mallory's secret memorandum recommended economic measures to bring about "hunger, desperation and overthrow of government" in Cuba. Declassified U.S. State Department memorandum, 6 April 1960, FRUS Document 499.

Champion @btnewsroom journalist @ZoeAlexandra_ok confronts liar Mike Waltz about the barbaric U.S. fuel blockade on Cuba 🔥 🔥 🔥
BREAKING: BT’s Zoe Alexandra (@ZoeAlexandra_ok) confronted US Ambassador Mike Waltz at the United Nations headquarters on Wednesday, calling out his lie that “there is no blockade” on Cuba – and that the blocking of oil shipments is directly responsible for an escalating humanitarian crisis.
While Waltz retorted that the US allowed the arrival of a Russian oil tanker to Cuba, Alexandra immediately countered that the March fuel delivery was only able to supply a small fraction of the country’s energy needs.
The ambassador then became visibly frustrated and quickly turned to take another reporter’s question.
The encounter followed the UN General Assembly annual vote to end the US blockade on the island nation.

We love partnering with scum.
Today, we launched a more ambitious partnership between Canada and the UAE.
A new free trade agreement that will unlock new access for Canadian businesses. A new energy partnership that will lead to greater investment in renewables. A new agreement on defence cooperation that will make Canadians safer.

Yup! I remember seeing a video of young man in Gaza during a “ceasefire”.
His message: “you’re closer to this than being a billionaire” while standing in front of massive piles of rubble.
The way he said it, it’ll stay with me always.

One of the dumbest things we are asked to believe about Iran is that it keeps taking time away from defending itself against US-Israeli aggressions to orchestrate random acts of arson and vandalism in mid-power western states for no discernible benefit to its strategic interests.
Today CBC published an article with the headline: “Why a spate of gun-for-hire shootings in Toronto were likely paid for by Iran.”
I was intrigued, as there has been almost 0 evidence offered for this claim thus far.
Unfortunately this article doesn’t offer any either, adding nothing new. CBC says they spent weeks on the investigation, so these are pretty pitiful results, at least in terms of finding evidence of who paid for the shootings.
I’m not sure why they feel comfortable with such a declarative headline given the lack of evidence (other than journalistic standards going out the window when the subject is an Official Enemy country).
Also, CBC and other journalists continue platforming police claims that they need backdoor access to messaging apps to solve these shootings, with no push back or critique about how these powers can be abused, including against journalists.

Ben Shapiro: Reparations don’t work.
Charlamagne: They worked for Jewish people.
(They *still* receive HoIocaust reparations) Shapiro: Erm, uh, that's totally different! Israel took $500b from America (and $30B since Oct 7). It still begs for more.

gotta love when a silver-spooned hack goes after *check notes* an ER physician who spends his time saving people. Yes, that’s the person you should target for their political beliefs after you spent the last few days tap-dancing thinking the guy you backed would win.

The UN Human Rights Council confirmed that the US blockade against Cuba violates human rights and international law, citing Article 33 of Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits collective punishment.
Your administration is starving and killing babies in Cuba just like Israel is starving and killing babies in Gaza.
The U.S. sanctions against Cuba must be lifted immediately. This’s a crime against humanity.
The Castro regime has profited at the expense of the Cuban people with luxury cars, expensive watches and a private island resort. As I shared this with the world, regime thugs rushed the stage to interrupt my speech.
They can intimidate their own people in Cuba but think again about trying that nonsense in the United States of America.

Remember that time Princeton did a study proving the opinions of 90% of Americans have no impact on policy?

He just lied to the Canadian public
"That is exactly what I did not say."

Toronto probably doesn’t care now who Bradford really is, but now that Olivia has been re-elected and they can breathe easier, it might be a good time to take a deeper dive into who Bradford is connected to so they better understand the huge far right bullet they just dodged.
UPDATE: The list of public figures endorsing Brad Bradford now includes disgraced media mogul and (formerly) convicted fraudster Conrad Black and a former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada!

Israeli elections:
‘There is no good Zionism. It’s a racist ideology. It’s a violent ideology. And don’t believe me, look at Palestine for the last 100 years.’
-Miko Peled, his grandfather signed Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
From Netanyahu, to Ben Gvir, to Gadi Eisenkot, to Yair Lapid…most of the options on the Israeli ballot are genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.
Israeli elections: Common views in Israel:
Gaza should have been ‘completely carpet bombed. There shouldn’t have been a living soul there. I think it’s very important to annex and settle Gaza.
The Palestinians should go to any other Arab country, or we’ll kill them.’
Israeli society resembles the genocidal bloodlust of Nazi Germany, and yet this is the country the US, UK, and EU countries continue to send arms to.

In China, police confronted a woman carrying two kitchen knives. They used shields, catchpoles and coordinated restraint to disarm and subdue her without firearms.
In California, a DHS agent fired a less-lethal projectile at close range into 21-year-old Kaden Rummler's face, leaving him permanently blind in one eye.

Türkiye and Pakistan are just there to console the Saudis in their moment of humiliation.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the great beyond, Ali Khamenei and Qasem Soleimani are sharing a triumphant high five.
