Okay, Sybil just brought out five more glasses of wine. I've already taken mine, so the remaining four are for ehBeth, Found Soul, osso, and Lola.

Of course, if you ladies don't want any more, I might have to finish them all. Wink

I think I'll pass on the soup. And the garlic. I'd really just like some cheese and crackers to have with my wine.

So, what kind of dancing are we doing? I've already kicked my shoes off, and the wine is loosening me up, so I'm ready...well, on second thought, maybe not. My back is bothering me, and I'm not comfortable standing upright. Right now, I'd like to just sit, and relax, and chat, and drink my wine, and watch other people dance.

It will do you no good trying to assuage your guilt with wine, Firefly. With the dawn comes the same ugly reality.

@JTT,
This is just one tiny speck of that ugly reality that you are trying so desperately to avoid, FF.

Just within these few parapgraphs, we see the lies, the viciousness, the complete and total disregard for everything that the US is supposed to stand for. It would be one thing if this was a fleeting mistake, but sadly it is the pattern that the US has been in since its beginnings.

Quote:
Cuba in the Cross-Hairs: A Near Half-Century of Terror
Noam Chomsky
Excerpted from Hegemony or Survival, Metropolitan Books, 2003

The Batista dictatorship was overthrown in January 1959 by Castro's guerrilla forces. In March, the National Security Council (NSC) considered means to institute regime change. In May, the CIA began to arm guerrillas inside Cuba. "During the Winter of 1959-1960, there was a significant increase in CIA-supervised bombing and incendiary raids piloted by exiled Cubans" based in the US. We need not tarry on what the US or its clients would do under such circumstances. Cuba, however, did not respond with violent actions within the United States for revenge or deterrence. Rather, it followed the procedure required by international law. In July 1960, Cuba called on the UN for help, providing the Security Council with records of some twenty bombings, including names of pilots, plane registration numbers, unexploded bombs, and other specific details, alleging considerable damage and casualties and calling for resolution of the conflict through diplomatic channels.

US Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge responded by giving his "assurance [that] the United States has no aggressive purpose against Cuba." Four months before, in March 1960, his government had made a formal decision in secret to overthrow the Castro government, and preparations for the Bay of Pigs invasion were well advanced.

Washington was concerned that Cubans might try to defend themselves. CIA chief Allen Dulles therefore urged Britain not to provide arms to Cuba. His "main reason," the British ambassador reported to London, "was that this might lead the Cubans to ask for Soviet or Soviet bloc arms," a move that "would have a tremendous effect," Dulles pointed out, allowing Washington to portray Cuba as a security threat to the hemisphere, following the script that had worked so well in Guatemala. Dulles was referring to Washington's successful demolition of Guatemala's first democratic experiment, a ten-year interlude of hope and progress, greatly feared in Washington because of the enormous popular support reported by US intelligence and the "demonstration effect" of social and economic measures to benefit the large majority. The Soviet threat was routinely invoked, abetted by Guatemala's appeal to the Soviet bloc for arms after the US had threatened attack and cut off other sources of supply. The result was a half-century of horror, even worse than the US-backed tyranny that came before.

@Lola,
All right, Lola, I'll give it a try because it sounds like fun. But first, I'll need another glass of wine, a large glass this time...just to numb the back pain.

Where's the music?

That's just where the pain is being manifested, FF. With so much deception your mind is playing strange tricks on your body.

You sure do have a lot of enablers.

@firefly,
Each paragraph gets only worse. Consider for just one moment that the people of the US might come to know all that their governments have done. Weigh that possibility against just what is contained in these few paragraphs and I'm pretty sure a moral person, possibly even you or Farmer or Oralloy, would die of shock.

Quote:
For Cuba, the schemes devised by the doves were similar to those of CIA director Dulles. Warning President Kennedy about the "inevitable political and diplomatic fall-out" from the planned invasion of Cuba by a proxy army, Arthur Schlesinger suggested efforts to trap Castro in some action that could be used as a pretext for invasion: "One can conceive a black operation in, say, Haiti which might in time lure Castro into sending a few boatloads of men on to a Haitian beach in what could be portrayed as an effort to overthrow the Haitian regime, . . . then the moral issue would be clouded, and the anti-US campaign would be hobbled from the start." Reference is to the regime of the murderous dictator "Papa Doc" Duvalier, which was backed by the US (with some reservations), so that an effort to help Haitians overthrow it would be a crime.

@ossobuco,
the bus stop dancing video is on constant rotation in our FB dance circle - we're all wondering if we maybe aren't quite as discreet as we think when we practice out in public

Excellent osso! That was fun. Did you ever see Muriel's Wedding? It's a must for everyone. One of my favorite movies for all time.
