Reply #151: Isn't easy to answer for Americans, we can't go there to see it easily

That and the fact that the mainstream US media just about blackout any accurate Cuba information.


"If a Cuban started an anti-gvoernment newspaper, how likely is he to get arrested?"


Do you mean an anarchist paper, or a paper that espouses a different form of government?

Both are available in Cuba. Cuba's government is changing, thru dialog and elections and voter approved amendments to the constitution, etc.

Have you ever heard of the Varella project (for example), headed by Nobel prize winning Oswaldo Paya the spokesperson and leader of the Cuban Christian Democratic Party? The petition that Jimmy Caster spoke of on Cuba national TV? Their political party and others publish newspapers in Cuba that espouse different forms of government. These papers are read all over the place. There are plenty of other types of newspapers and gossip rags there too - right, left, and center, including dissatisfaction with President Castro, Ricardo Alarcan, Carlos Large, and other elected officials.


Of course, we Americans can't readily go to Cuba to see this because of the freedom denying travel sanctions brutally & undemocratically thrust upon us by Ashcroft's jackbooted OFAC/Dept of Treasury agents.


Too bad that the majority of Dem presidential candidates support a continuation of this policy.

Sadly, only ONE candidate for
US president openly states that he
would end this unjust and insane
policy against Cuba AND Americans.

That candidate is Dennis Kucinich.
