Morrison’s ‘miracle’ only delivered us pain; now, put your hand up to say he must go – » The Australian Independent Media Network

4 People died during the ALP Pink Bats scheme and the LNP went “apeshit” Our debt to GDP ratio was 20% and the “Sky was falling in” Tax was overall 20%. Today LNP “promises” so broken are now “pledges” 1) that 23.9% but it will be higher.2) there will be no integrity commission or ABC under a Morrison’s government. Despite the fact he’s raised our  International Corruption Index to the highest since it was established from 12 to 18. 3)In the meantime the LNP has been molded into greatest rabble of self-interested incompetents we have been served by  and he says “Don’t judge us by our past”

Finally, we have the Coalition tearing itself apart over net zero climate change and Mr Morrison’s intervention in the NSW branch of the Liberal Party. I could write more facts and opinions about this terrible government; however, War and Peace would then be a shorter and not so daunting book. I have put up my hand 🤚 to say I will be voting for Albanese Government. I hope after you read this article you will do the same.

Hemispheric Gangsterism: The US Embargo Against Cuba Turns 60 – » The Australian Independent Media Network

Prior to inking the prohibition of the importation into the US of all goods of Cuban origin and all goods imported from or through Cuba, Kennedy had a particular vice that needed feeding. The resourceful press secretary Pierre Salinger was ordered to scour Washington and gather as many Cuban cigars (the H. Upmann Petit Upmann was a favourite) as he could by the morning. The mission was a success: 1,200 cigars were found. Acting with suitable presidential hypocrisy, Kennedy could then authorise the proclamation. As Salinger recalls, “Kennedy smiled, and opened up his desk. He took out a long paper which he immediately signed. It was the decree banning all Cuban products from the United States. Cuban cigars were now illegal in our country.”

Trump and his Cuban promises | Cuba | Al Jazeera

Obama came and went, the baseball game was a success, and within weeks the Jose Marti International Airport in Havana became as congested as any airport can be, largely thanks to the several new flights arriving from the United States on a daily basis. Havana and the rest of the island saw an almost immediate economic boom, chiefly fuelled by American tourists arriving in droves, to bathe in the sun of Cuba’s Caribbean beaches and to degust mojitos and daiquiris in their places of birth. All appeared to be rosy. Then, Trump happened.
