US sanctions bite into Cuban healthcare – despite claims they only affect leadership 

US sanctions bite into Cuban healthcare – despite claims they only affect leadership

  America is quite relaxed in attempting genocide and lying about it.  So why is it such a surprise that Trump thinks pressuring other governments is legitimate and reasonable? America has been doing it as a matter of course for years.
US sanctions are making ordinary Cubans sick, literally. Despite Washington’s insistence that its sanctions hurt only the banks and government officials they target, the entire population is being deprived of lifesaving drugs. 
 Cuba, already under a US trade embargo since 1962, was hit with even stricter sanctions earlier this year in what the Trump administration calls an effort to pressure the country into dropping its support for the Venezuelan government of Nicolas Maduro. But the economic restrictions Washington claims are meant to punish Cuba’s government are actually intensifying the suffering of its people, who are denied crucial medicines because of the blockade.











Australia isn’t taking the national security threat from far-right extremism seriously enough.

RACE-OBSESSED: UNIVERSITY RACES TO THE INTELLECTUAL BOTTOM---- Andrew Bolt.

 Has any one bothered to do the stats on Bolt's racial commentaries now that's real obsession.

CODEY HERRMANN; HOW A KILLER WAS BRED

Codey Herrmann’s lawyer still can’t figure out why Herrmann bashed, raped and murdered student Aiia Maasarwe.
“There is no explanation I can give you,” he told a Supreme Court judge in Melbourne this week.
No? Can’t explain why Herrmann told police he’d been angry “at life in general” and about how “everyone looked at me and treated me”?
Yet when we hear of his childhood, which of us doesn’t say ‘well, that figures’?
And for me, there’s this further question to the ideologues who rage about the wickedness of removing Aboriginal children from toxic homes, or the nastiness of introducing cashless welfare cards.

The racism Australia has endured and assumes "normal" and therefore goes unnoticed began with the arrival of the White man on shores of this country and it's clearly expressed by this Australian raised as a Dutchman. Andrew Bolt was raised in a family the taught him to believe he was better than most and notably better than coloured people, particularly Indigenous Australians. Bolt's attitude is the same as that which resulted in the Christian Dutch being hated and driven out of Indonesia and Islam welcomed.
Bolt knows nothing about Codey Herrmann's life, but despite that, he feels justified that it's his right to wildly generalise about Indigenous Culture as the cause of what occurred. He even uses the term "bred" as if they are little more than animals but less than human. It's the voice and sound of a slaver speaking about his stock.   That says more about Andrew Bolt supposed professional in wordcraft which makes his racism more significant and poignant. It's no accident that what he's saying is what he means and it begins with colour and culture is his excuse. He does the same with the South Sudanese.
Over and over again like a metronome, the way  Bolt speaks of indigenous culture, whether remote or urban, a culture that has survived 65,000 years, as toxic. Furthermore, that toxicity has little or nothing to do with the arrival and interface his white culture or nothing to do with white colonial culture being racist and think like Andrew Bolt.
Firstly Herrman doesn't have an Indigenous name he has a Christian name how he was raised who he mixed with and how he was treated is unknown to Bolt but then he's not interested in Codey he's more intent in generalising and disparaging the child-raising practices of others who happen to be Black and Indigenous. Cody Herrman is just another opportunity for Bolt to spread his White Supremacist Christian racism. It's a Racism that justifies white behaviour calls it welfare from the top down and calls it "help". It's a profit-making industry that justified not paying indigenous Australians an equal wage we call it wage theft today. An industry that practised welfare without a card but kept and managed wages that were stolen like their children to be told later they weren't. It wasn't an industry with a belief in or one providing equal opportunity. It was an industry based on myth-building of kindness, denying the harmful and oppressive reality that has existed over 200 years and has been ingrained over generations in Australian culture internalised by one and all despite their colour. We've seen what happens to Andrew Bolt when someone like Adam Goodes protests he's the deviant that needs to be sent to hell.
 As I say Bolt like a metronome, he's a spokesperson for a racism internalised today seen as the norm something that has remained with us for 200 years and was imported, by people like Bolt. The British maybe slightly less racist than those Dutch Reformed Christians if compared, but racists nevertheless. They still see black first then blame culture as a primary explanation of a crime in a way they don't when committed by whites. 

Now this is a Culture Indigenous and white Children had to endure
