Obama in Cuba: "I came, I saw, and I am Shamed..."
POTUS 44 Obama made a historic visit to Cuba today(being the only POTUS since Cal Coolidge', whose visit was in 1928). But the NeoLiberal WHO(White House Occupier)could--and should--have said. "I came, I saw, and I am ashamed..."
An honest and contrite U.S. President should have continued, "I am ashamed of the lawlessness perpetrated on Cuban soil...at the Guantanamo Naval Base, where gross violations of human rights and international law have occurred for more than a decade. In a real democracy, such practices would not only be illegal, but the real perpetrators of such crimes would have been tried, convicted and they would be serving decades of detention. Moreover, the occupation of Guantanamo itself is illegal, and we must immediately negotiate with the Cuban government to return that occupied territory to the Cuban people. That and the rapid lifting of the economic embargo, would constitute the real first steps towards establishing a true equal relationship between our countries..."
In the depraved reality of our Universe today, however, Obama never made that contrite confessional. But even had he made the above speech, the U.S. Public would never have heard it on the Corporate-bin-Laden media of FOX, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and even PBS channels. That is the extent of a "free press," under the current system of a "Dictatorship of the Profitariat."
