Amerikaanse Wet tegen Cubas rijkt tot amsterd
11.02.2004 13:02

Goed nieuws voor de tegenstanders van de Cubaanse revolutie. Hun amerikaanse vrienden zitten niet stil. Op de wenkenbachstraat in Amsterdam zit een reisbureau dat de gore moed heeft om de wil van yanken te trotseren en gewoon reizen naar Cuab organiseerd en verkoopt.


De Directeur heeft zijn personeel net verteld dat ze voorlopig niet meer naar de Verenigde Staten moeten reizen. Wellicht worden ze daar opgepakt als 'dollarkoeriers' en overtreders van het VS-handelsembargo tegen Cuba.

De Amerikaanse boycot tegen Cuba valt natuurlijk niet goed te praten, maar om nou te beweren dat het huidige regime van Castro ook maar iets te maken heeft met een lovenswaardige revolutie slaat ook nergens op.

Dat beweert hij ook niet.En als hij dat wel zou beweren wat dan nog,want daar gaat het hier helemaal niet om.

Het gaat erom dat de USA veel verder gaat met het eigen handelsembargo en ook niet-amerikaanse bedrijven aanpakt.

en niet meer zo jonge text:


Did You Know?...

* The United States is the only country in the world that prohibits trade with Cuba.

* All other countries are prevented from freely trading with Cuba by U.S. sanctions. For example, the U.S. restricts ships from our ports that have delivered goods to Cuba, reduces aid to countries by the amount of their Cuban sugar imports, bans exports of foreign-made products to Cuba if they contain U.S.-origin components, prohibits subsidiaries of U.S. multinationals from trading with Cuba, and sues executives of foreign firms that invest in properties once owned by U.S. companies.

*The UN General Assembly has voted every year since 1992 to condemn the embargo for violating the trading sovereignty of other countries. In 1999, the vote was 157 to 2, with only Israel supporting the U.S. position.

* While citizens of other countries can travel freely to Cuba, U.S. citizens are threatened with prison terms and fines by our own government for exercising this freedom (specifically, for spending money in Cuba).

* Despite three decades of embargo, the Cuban Revolution between 1959 and the mid-1990's increased life expectancy from 55 to 76 years and decreased infant mortality from 60 per 1,000 live births to 9.4 -- roughly half the rate of Washington, D.C.! Illiteracy was reduced in just one year (1961) from 25 to 3.1%. In the past decade, however, loss of Soviet bloc trade combined with extreme tightening of the embargo threatens those gains and causes great suffering for the average Cuban.

* The American Association for World Health reported in 1997 that the embargo has severely impacted Cuban health since passage of the Torricelli Act in 1992. New provisions restricted Cuban access to less than 50% of medicines available on the world market and increased shipping costs to obtain medicines from more distant countries by $8.7 million. Effects of the stringent new rules included a 33% drop in daily caloric intake, a 1993 neuropathy epidemic that temporarily blinded 50,000 Cubans, nutritional deficits in pregnant women, and an increase in mortality rates from heart disease.

* The embargo is opposed by a widely diverse group of individuals and organizations, including the Organization of American States, the European Union, the Pope, the President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the editorial boards of numerous newspapers.
