The True Story of U.S. #EconomicSanctions Against Cuba
From #ZNetwork
By Salim Lamrani
Nov 1, 2025That amount [ $7.55 billion] is equivalent to the electricity consumption of Cuba’s 10 million inhabitants for six years. With the same sum, Cuba could fill every household’s grocery basket for six years, cover the nation’s medical needs for 22 years, or guarantee public transportation for the next six decades.
Imposed by President Eisenhower with the aim of overthrowing Fidel Castro’s revolutionary government, the #sanctions have been maintained and reinforced by successive #US administrations. They have extraterritorial features — meaning they apply beyond US borders and affect all countries around the world. For example, any foreign ship that docks at a Cuban port is banned from entering US ports for six months. The purpose of this legislation is to prevent #Cuba from developing international trade with the rest of the world.

Analysis by #JeremyBrecher for #Labor4Sustainability + #ZNetwork that convincingly argues [1] that #ResistanceIsFertile against the #TrumpRegime :
"But Trump's turn to such extreme forms of violence is less an expression of growing power than an attempt to distract from the growth of opposition, the loss of public support, and the splits within his own ranks. It is a sign not of strength but of weakness." [1]

> Transgender workers tend to have much lower income than the general population and are twice as likely to be living in poverty.
> Transgender rights are therefore a working-class issue and “the fight for trans equality must be recognized as class struggle.”https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/the-fight-for-transgender-rights-is-a-class-struggle-fight-for-equality/

> Change won’t come through conventional politics but by circumventing it. We must create proximity directly—through door-knocking and local assemblies organised around small group listening.
> This is the next political revolution. I’m convinced that new movement parties could rise from zero to winning local and national elections in six months with these methods.https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/how-to-stop-fascism/

> Nineteen members of the advocacy group #Youth4ClimateAction filed a constitutional complaint in March 2020 accusing the South Korean government of violating their rights to life, the “pursuit of happiness,” a “healthy and pleasant environment,” and to “resist against human extinction.”
> The lawsuit.. notes “the inequality between the adult generation who can enjoy the relatively pleasant environment and the youth generation who must face a potential disaster from climate change,”

> Contrary to mainstream media and official propaganda that has described this movement as "extremist mobs", one only has to look at the diversity of the crowds, the cross cultural singing and dancing, and the commitment to nonviolence at these protests to know this is not a movement of hate.

> ... too often I and my movement allies did mimic their hostility. We did get tribal against our critics. Provoked, we did leave our reasoning behind. We did get holier than thou at them. And for all that we did accomplish, those choices were not only not helpful they were largely responsible for us not accomplishing much more than we did. The good news, the happy side, is that you can do better. Be militant for sure...

> Despite all the hype about Iran’s largely symbolic barrage of over 200 drones and cruise and ballistic missiles, unleashed on the thinly populated #NegevDesert (where it was mainly #PalestinianBedouin who were put in danger), the military significance of this action was minimal...
> The only casualty appears to be a 7-year-old Palestinian #Bedouin girl, who was seriously injured by a falling missile.

> In 2022, [#USA] federal spending on roads totalled $52 billion. We could transform public transportation with a fraction of that sum.
> A 2020 analysis by the Urban Institute suggests that, with an additional $16.7 billion annually in federal funding, we could bring transit service in every U.S. urban area up to that of the Chicago region — doubling per-capita transit service throughout the country.

Ryuichi Sakamoto passed away. He was a famous musician. I've seen him on TV in commercials, but he did some great work along with grass-roots energy and environmental activists. It was great to see the _No War_ book come out in 2002. Some articles that I introduced to a Jubilee 2000^1 (JubileeKyushu!!) mailing list were translated for the book. I found the book with the decades-old printouts.
