Cuba Parliament Supports Ecuadorean Government
Havana, Jul 15 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Parliament has expressed today its firm solidarity with Ecuador''s National Assembly and the government of Rafael Correa facing the destabilizing attempts by oligarchic groups.
"Ecuador, as other sovereign and independent nations in Latin America, suffers in these times the consequences of global offensive unleashed by the imperialism against the progressive governments of the region," said the statement, unanimously adopted.
The document states that those actions are a strategy to destabilize and overthrow democratic processes, whose central objective is to favor the peoples of the region in all possible ways. The text recalls that many of them have benefited the children of the country of Eloy Alfaro with political, economic and social changes implemented in the last eight years by the Citizen Revolution.
The statement denounces that oligarchic groups from that country try to carry out, once again, a coup d'Etat, lies, create confusion, promote violence in the streets, and so, use media to go along with them.

U.S. bombing of a FARC (leftist guerrilla fighter) peace camp on the border of Ecuador, destroying hopes for peace in Colombia's 50+ year civil war, and almost starting a war between the U.S./Colombia and Ecuador/Venezuela, during the bloody tenure of Bush Jr. pal Alvaro Uribe in Colombia, in order to destabilize the region and stop the social progress initiatives in Venezuela and Ecuador, and, ultimately, to overthrow their leftist governments. (Bush Junta.)
U.S. support of the overthrow of the elected president of Honduras (not sure who cooked it up--probably the Bush Junta--but it occurred six months into the Obama administration).
U.S. continued harassment of the Chavez/Maduro government to this day. (Obama administration.)
And this is an incomplete list--just some of the 'highlights'--of the top imperialist oligarchy in the world, our own government, and its past and recent activities in Latin America.
True, Obama has initiated the U.S. opening to Cuba, and has also supported the peace talks in Cuba between the (new) Colombian government and the FARC, to end the civil war. Both efforts at the peaceful resolution of problems seem to be heading for success. Also, talks are going forward between the U.S. and Venezuela, to at least re-open embassies.
These are good things. These are peaceful things. But that doesn't mean that fascists in Ecuador are not colluding to try to overthrow Rafael Correa with U.S. help. One, I don't know that Obama isn't two-faced. And, two, I don't know that he's fully in charge of the vast U.S. military and covert operations establishment, even now. (I'm pretty sure he was not, during the Honduran coup.) As to "one," this may be why the Cubans felt compelled to offer moral support to Correa (so as not to align with the U.S. on this matter, by their silence--given the negotiations taking place in their country). And, as to "two," Obama may be permitted to do certain things that are currently in the interest of the transglobal corporations who are running things. For instance, with a U.S. "free trade for the rich" agreement in place with Colombia, the profiteers may feel that now is the time for peace in Colombia, and may have a similar motive on Cuba (all those pristine beaches to develop, for instance). But he is not permitted to interfere with other transglobal corporate/CIA plans, such as getting control back of Ecuador's oil and looting the new social programs.
Correa is hugely popular in Ecuador, and has provided the first stable government in Ecuador in many decades, and the best government that Ecuador has ever had, as to benefits to the poor majority. If he says he's dealing with a rightwing overthrow plot, I believe him. He has virtually all of U.S. history in Latin America on his side. And he has been a very reliable truthteller on the Latin American scene.
I find it just ridiculous how you say Obama could be supporting coup attempts in Lat Am and then go on and say good for him on trying to normalize relations with Cuba, and then praise Cuba for following through, same with Venezuela. Hell, the Maduro regime got told it represents a threat to the US national security months ago and they made quite a deal about it, to the point of Mr. Rule-by-Decree saying that Americans would need a visa to visit Venezuela. If I were them, and truly believed in the supposed "imperialist" conspiracy theories they like to scream out, I wouldn't be going to meetings with a White House representative in Haiti and taking pictures together with everyone where we're all happy and smiling. It's almost like somebody that was accusing a certain group of people of trying to murder them, and that group even goes on to sanction them and call them an unusual threat, and then the accuser saying "Ok, look, maybe I said some nasty things about you, but we probably got off on the wrong foot. Wanna start over?

Cabello sure seems happy to be hanging out with a guy belonging to the government that has him under investigation for managing a drug trafficking empire.
