Otto J. Reich

Propaganda words work so well

If DeLaurentis says so, it must be wrong. He was head of the US diplomatic mission to Cuba during the failed Obama “thaw”. During this time, the US, in contravention of our values and history, sided with the communist oppressors instead of the oppressed Cubans. That’s one reason Obama’s policy was a colossal failure. Otto J. Reich Former Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere.

"We're looking at a deployment of the Venezuelan model [in Cuba]," says Jeffrey DeLaurentis, who was America's first ambassador to Cuba in 55 years. "I don't really like the notion of using humanitarian suffering as a political tool for change. But this is where we are."

The Russians are not be bringing anything in to defend Cuba. They do not want to fight Trump to defend a bunch of losers. The plane is there to take the GAESA fortune - $18 Billion according to US media - before the Americans can grab it and put it to work for Cuba’s reconstruction. It’s going instead into Russian banks to ensure cushy lives for the Cuban satraps that destroyed the island’s economy and murdered tens of thousands. All in the name of sovereignty and socialism. Sound familiar? Otto Reich.

.@POTUS on Cuba: "We're talking to Cuba, and you'll find out pretty soon... One of the groups I want taken care are the people that came from Cuba that were forced out or left under duress — and they're great citizens of the United States right now."

No por primera vez, más bien por centésima vez, MCM parece ser la única que piensa con sentido estratégico, sin perder de vista el objetivo final, ajustando sus movimientos tácticos a lo que dicta la hora presente, compuesta de circunstancias y variables que ella no controla, pero que sabe leer. Démosle un poco más de crédito a la mujer que logró la hazaña de derrotar en las urnas a una dictadura criminal que lo controlaba todo al dedillo y utilizar diversos instrumentos bajo poder de ese nefando régimen para poder probar la improbable victoria electoral de las fuerzas democráticas. Démosle un poco más de crédito a una mujer que hace muchos años, mientras tantos opositores hacían gala de su falta de principios y coherencia moral, supo trabajar pacientemente, como una hormiga, pasito a paso, para pasar de la casi insignificancia al centro del tablero político venezolano y convertirse en la única figura con verdadera legitimidad popular en su país. ¿Existe garantía absoluta de que lo que está haciendo le permita lograr el objetivo final? No, en la Historia haciéndose no hay, como no la hubo en la Historia hecha, garantía de nada. Pero lo que sí está absolutamente garantizado es que si hace lo contrario de lo que está haciendo, ella, y con ella las fuerzas democráticas, serán derrotadas por estas complejas circunstancias y estos ingratos actores globales con que le toca lidiar. ¿Eso supone sufrir humillaciones, tragarse el orgullo, hacer o decir cosas que desconcertarán a otros menos esclarecidos que ella? Sí, claro que sí. Démosle un poco más de crédito a la mujer que ha demostrado ser más inteligente y tener un mejor sentido de los tiempos que otros y otras, y saber mover las fichas que tenía que mover en el momento oportuno para ir acercando a su pueblo al destino que los amantes de la libertad queremos para él. Una vez más, por centésima vez, ella se eleva varios pies por encima de los demás en lo que respecta a Venezuela. Sin garantía de éxito, pero con el bien ganado derecho a que le demos todo el beneficio de la duda porque, en su desdichado país, nadie ha demostrado estar mejor capacitado para hacer posibles cosas que parecen imposibles.

@cossiom But let’s at least liberate a country or 5.

Bye, bye to the first quarter of the 21st Century: Terrorism; Rise of China; Global Financial Crisis; Russian expansionism; Democracy vs. Totalitarianism; Catastrophes; Pandemic Covid-19; Human Genome Sequencing; Telecommunications & Social Media boom; Artificial Intelligence (AI); unprecedented scientific, medical, and technological discoveries and advances... Western Hemisphere dictatorships: Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua... And what about the predictions of "The End of History and the Last Man" by Francis Fukuyama? 2026 🙏 Let the change begin!

@cossiom Don’t worry. I can get worse!

@cossiom Well said. Time to end the dictatorships. All of them! As Thomas Jefferson said: “I have sworn, upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against any form of tyranny over the mind of man.”

@elonmusk Any Rand should be required reading in all universities, by students, professors, and the administrative class alike.

Correct. My Tesla and SpaceX shares, which are almost all my “wealth”, only go up in value as a function of how much useful product those companies produce and service. This means my “wealth” can only increase due to producing more products and services for the public. Moreover, anyone else who is a shareholder in Tesla and SpaceX, which incudes employees, participates in the upside of stock appreciation. That is because I am a maker, not a taker like the Bernie Sanders type politicians of the world. They take and they’re on the take, because they cannot or will not make.

@WakeUpPatriott No.

🚨BREAKING: Do you support Google Maps renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America? YES or NO?

1️⃣ En Venezuela ocurre algo que vale la pena explicar con honestidad: Una parte de la izquierda internacional justifica la ausencia de democracia, la tortura y las desapariciones forzadas en nombre del “antiimperialismo”. No es un "error" aislado. Es un patrón. 🧵

@ericfarns Even if Miami wanted “to loot Venezuela,” which is not supported by any facts, it would be impossible to loot a country already robbed clean by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and the Communist Party of Cuba and its armed forces of occupation.

It’s just weird that sociologists and Latin America studies types keep showing up in the mainstream press declaiming on #Venezuela military matters. Have we not see the way conflict has changed fundamentally? Whatever happens, if anything, will not look like Iraq, Libya, Panama…

@ericfarns Shocked! I am shocked! Smuggling? In this establishment?

Venezuela, too
