SEPTEMBERS & MORE, surveys the more than forty-year history of U.S. sponsored terrorists attacks against Cuba. WHO”S AFRAID OF A LITTLE YELLOW BUS, documents the efforts of the U.S. based group Pastors For Peace to challenge U.S. policy towards Cuba. This struggle is symbolized in the efforts to win the release of yellow school bus that is impounded by U.S. customs officials as a potential “threat” to national security. ________________________________________________________________ For more than forty years - since the triumph of the Revolution in 1959, which overthrew the US-backed police state of Fulgencio Batista - Cuba has faced a de facto war from the United States. This unrelenting aggression, both military and economic, has encompassed an invasion, assassination plans, terrorist attacks against civilians and systematic economic sabotage: all directed toward the goal of restoring the neocolonial domination over the island, which was exercised by Washington during the first half of the twentieth century. At this critical moment, as Washington is brutally attempting to suppress the national resistance to its occupation of Iraq, the level of U.S. unrelenting aggression against Cuba has escalated. This latest escalation is occurring within the context of ongoing U.S. destabilization of Venezuela. It also occurs in the wake of Washington’s sponsored, financed and organized coup in Haiti, which removed the constitutional and legitimate government of Jean Bertrand Aristide and where the U.S. backed thugs and former death squad members were given full rein to seize power. These latest measures against Cuba, among other things, sanction a program of deliberate overt military intimidation, step up the economic war against the island, and channel additional tens of millions of dollars to the U.S. manufactured opposition groups on the island. ____________________________________________________________________________ Did a friend forward this to you?
