hornberger does steady good work at revealing the hypocrisies of the empire, and here is one of those with cuba in mind;

or anyone who thinks that the U.S. embargo on Cuba harms only the Cuban people, I would recommend talking to the executives at General Electric. They will tell you about the $2.7 million that the feds just took from them for violating the embargo, unintentionally.

Like U.S. sanctions against other countries, the U.S. embargo against Cuba is aimed at causing maximum economic harm on the country’s populace as a way to achieve regime change within the country. Ever since the embargo was first established in 1960, the idea has been that if enough misery could be inflicted on the Cuban populace, it would rise up in a violent revolution, oust the Cuban communist regime, and install another pro-U.S. dictatorship, like that of Fulgencio Batista, the crooked and corrupt dictator who was ousted by Fidel Castro in 1959.

The plan has never worked. Even though the socialism that Castro brought to Cuba has itself caused massive impoverishment, the last thing most Cubans want is to be back under the control of the U.S. government.

What many Americans, especially Cuban-Americans, don’t realize, however, is that the U.S. embargo is also an attack on the economic liberty of the American people, something to which GE can attest............https://www.fff.org/2019/10/03/ask-ge-about-american-freedom/
