what did I learn at the movie


Trademark "America" has killed over 3,400 innocent people in Cuba over the course of our 40 year covert war against their economic system.
That's more than were killed by terrorists on 9-11-2001, although we never hear about the terrorism we do on NPR or the Main Stream Media.

All that bloodshed and terrorism was our own creation, done in the name of "Capitalism".
Murder for an economic mantra.
An economic label that isn't even true.

We engage in destructive transformation, all right, at the expense of the innocent.
But I had to go to a movie to learn enough to Google it on my computer.


So who are the Cuban 5?
These five Cubans infiltrated our terrorist organizations to relay information of future strikes against their country by covert American black ops.
And they were caught, tried, and most were given life plus sentences- although they hadn't killed anyone, and were trying to stop our terrorism on their people.

Besides concocting a plot to bomb a nightclub full of tourists, musicians, dancers and busboys, the minions who act for us have done other ugly murderous work:
We have been sheltering the guy who plotted the crash of the airliner that had the Cuban Olympic fencing team. 73 people died in that crash, their bodies were mangled horribly, the families were tragic in their grief as they identified the bodies. Venezuela asked our country to extradite the terrorist mastermind a year and a half ago, but we are playing coy.

It seems that although we reject the notion in public, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".
And this guy who brought down an airliner full of athletes is a valuable friend to Florida Republican politicians.

I think if more people with traditional middle-class midwestern American values knew about all of this, the system might change. But the media has been bought and sold to the highest bidder, and folks, it ain't been bought by anyone interested in equality, freedom, or liberty.
