rdinarily, I don’t care too much what leftist pinheads in the celebrity and political communities say.
But this defense of Cuba, from none other than wokester Rep. Ilhan Omar of Fraudisota seemed a little more disgusting than most.
Every part of this statement is a despicable lie.
The Castroite communist island hellhole is very much a national security threat given its role in sheltering terrorists — from FARC to Hezb’allah, no terrorist is too terrible for them — to pioneering the U.S.-South America drug trade. Anybody ask Pablo Escobar how he managed to ship cocaine into the U.S. during the Miami Vice era in his then-novel drug submarines? Castro was the one who moved it along. Cuba has conducted espionage on an industrial scale in the U.S. with every snippet of information dishonestly and illicitly obtained, some at the highest levels of the national security establishment, going to America’s enemies in China, Russia, and Iran. Just ask Ana Montes.
Cuba’s communist regime has also terrorized virtually every nation of Latin America and many even in Africa with its threats of insurgency and leftwing unrest, not to mention, guerrilla activity. It has been found at the center of every insurgency of the 20th century. Just ask Chile or El Salvador or Nicaragua what that was like, not to mention, Venezuela both in the 1960s and later on. Colombia, in fact, was Castro’s first target — in 1948. When Americans were held as POWs in Hanoi, Cuban Castroites were their torturers. Their latest scheme has been ‘medical mercenaries’ who are, as the late great Cuban writer Carlos Alberto Montaner are ‘slaves of the white coat’ working on starvation wages as the regime collects the profits, some of them serving as spies. Cuba’s regime has been at the heart of every threat and thug action for nearly a century and still is.
As for America, their main adversary, they’ve trained guerrilla groups through their Venceremos Brigade, of which Karen Bass remains a proud member, in subversion — the garbage going on with antifa around the country, from Portland to Minneapolis — most certainly has Cuban roots. In the early 1960s, they tried to blow up the New York City subways under big retailers such as Bloomingdales and Macy’s on Black Friday, all to ensure maximum civilian casualties before J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI thwarted their evil plot. In the 1980s, they pioneered ‘migrant bombs’ emptying thir prisons and insane asylums to set sail for America, all in a bid to weaken America and strengthen their own grip on power as potential troublemakers were sent to ‘the enemy.’ They set the tone for leftist extremism the world over. They are the godfather of the left.
But this is just to address the national security threat of Cuba, there is more, much more, in Omar’s hideous statement.
