Speaking at a WEF meeting (Globalism Central) among like-minded
cronies,
Kerry says he wants independent media and dissent "hammered out of
existence" and that means the First Amendment has to go. This is
blatant,
out-and-out totalitarianism reminiscent of the darkest Soviet times.

Since they assume that they understand social and economic systems, no

Quite. I just do *not* understand how this kind of warped thinking can
take root so deeply in Western countries where one would assume we'd
have learned from the horrors of Soviet Russia and Communist China and
the nightmares of the 1934 famine-by-design and the family-shattering
public denunciations of the Cultural Revolution. And you have people
like Kerry coming right out in public and admitting that they hold such
views - on the record in front of TV cameras! Unabashed Marxists and
Maoists like Kerry, Harris and Hitlary espousing this vile doctrine and
essentially admitting they want *total* control over the dissemination
of information and dissenting views "hammered out of existence."  That's
the kind of bonkers PoV that only some contemptible individual who
detests freedom, like Bill Sloman, would endorse.

Cuba now imports sugar.

 Seriously?? Jeez....

The American economic embargo has wrecked the productivity of even the Cuban sugar industry.
"There's not enough trucks and the fuel shortages mean sometimes several days pass before we can work,"
They can still grow it, but half the sugar processing plants aren't working any more, and without enough trucks even the ones that are still working can't get all the cane the could process.
John Larkin is basically crowing about the effectiveness of the long-running US economic embargo on Cuba. Trump actually ramped it up when he was in  power.
