| dawnie User ID: 46617826 United States12/12/2013 03:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can someone remind me why Cuba is still considered an enemy? Is it because: They refuse to use our Petrodollar system? They do communism better than we do? They criticize us for being imperialistic? They refuse to be part of the IMF/central banking system? A flag flown upside down is a symbol of a country in distress. As a result of the many traitors and enemies inside our own government and the many unconstitutional acts, legislation and atrocities passed and/or committed against our lives, liberty and property, as well as a reckless foreign policy meant to enrich and empower an already wealthy group of 'elites' while wreaking havoc around the globe and committing atrocities against large numbers of innocent peoples in the name of 'spreading democracy', the United States is no longer a free country and the lives of its citizens as well as the lives of our brothers and sisters around the globe, are in dire danger and distress. |

We all wondered how Jay Z got permission to go over there, well now we know. I am really worried about America, we got Rodman hanging in North Korea and Jay Z hanging in Cuba. Yeah, like those two represent the people. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 19559405 United States12/12/2013 05:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.miamiherald.com] Cuban weapons in North Korean ship violated U.N. sanctions Cuban weapons found in a freighter bound for North Korea “without a doubt” violate U.N. sanctions and some of it seemed intended for Pyongyang’s own use, not for repair and return as Havana claims, according to a report Tuesday. The weapons shipment hidden in deliberately modified sections of the ship also was much larger than previously reported, and included anti-tank cannon and night vision equipment, said the report in 38 North, a U.S.-based Web page on North Korean issues. Taken together, the evidence makes clear “that contrary to both the North Korean shipping declaration and Cuban government statements the shipment was without a doubt a violation of United Nations sanctions on North Korea,” it said. The North Korea-flagged Chong Chon Gang declared a cargo of 10,000 tons of sugar and 2,000 empty polyethylene bags after it left Cuba and approached the Panama Canal in July on its way home. Panama authorities searched it after a tip that it carried drugs and found the weapons in 25 metal shipping containers hidden under the sugar. Havana claimed the 240 tons of “obsolete” equipment, including two MiG-21 jets, 15 engines for the MiGs, nine missiles and parts and two anti-aircraft missile radar systems, was sent to Pyongyang for repairs only. |
