[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]
Medea Benjamin traveled last march to Cuba with medicine and food for children’s hospitals. The U.S. Treasury Department wanted to know everything about it. “This request for information is really just a form of intimidation,” she said.
Pete you seem like your heart is in the right place but Mrs. benjamin is part of a network of controlled opposition, and getting slap-on-the-wrist attention from LEO is just part of the job description. Even Hasan Piker, who gets a salary from a US defense contractor (not just lunch money from hapless manchildren as he’d have you believe), and John Kiriakou, who is visibly still a CIA agent lying about his service record & core details of the 9/11 hijackers’ story, guys like that get investigated or even jailed. They never go away though.
Why don’t you try doing what she does, screaming at politicians. You’ll get tased. You’re watching a little diorama the feds put together to give the impression they follow their own rules. They do not. Ask anyone who isn’t fucking white
