Good to see a Cuban journalist getting such a high profile interview. No idea why the Cuban government would block her site.


P. En 2009, en una entrevista con el Presidente Obama, le pregunté sobre una posible invasión estadounidense a Cuba. Su respuesta fue un "no" categórico. Sin embargo, los dirigentes cubanos no paran de hablar de un plan inminente de EE. UU. para derrocar al Gobierno de La Habana. Más allá de la posición oficial de EE.UU.,me gustaría oír una respuesta simple para dársela a mi hijo. ¿Qué le digo cuando me pregunta? ¿Deberíamos estar preocupados?

R. Le puedo dar la más simple de las respuestas, y la respuesta es no. Tal como dijo el Presidente Obama.


Q: In 2009, with Obama, I asked him about the possibility of the US invading Cuba. His replay was "no". Nevertheless, Cuban leaders do not cease talking about an iminent plan by the US to overthrow the government in Havana. What should I tell my son if asks, should we, Cubans, be worried?

A: Simple answer, "no" Just as president Obama said.

1. It wasn't blocked the several times I checked when in Cuba.

So, just because certain folks make that claim doesn't mean that its true.
Problem is, that the US gov't forbids unfettered travel to Cuba, so, I guess, that I'm the only DUer who has been there to check. If this US travel ban would be dropped, then many DUers could confirm my observation.

2. Its good that Cuba is allowing the free flow of information available to its citizenry

so that the information is not limited to state run sources. I am sure the new undersea cable has really expanded internet access for all Cubans.

Keep checking the site when in or outside Cuba and post any good stories like the interview with Biden when you get a chance. Cuba should be proud that one of their own is making the big time.

3. Cubans, in general, aren't proud of collaborators of the US's Cuba regime change programs.

Although, there is a stark minority who do laud her efforts, no matter her funding.

4. Thanks for the real info.

It makes far more sense to someone who's seen corporate crapaganda and doesn't like it.

Once the US is forced by inner pressure to drop the embargo and travel ban for everyone, these a-holes who've been cranking out the disinformation are going to have to start sucking up some unemployment to keep body and soul together.

Spectacular, twisted clowns.
