The #2020 #Election: Nothing Will #Change

The Unfinished People’s Revolution: From Philadelphia to Havana, and Back Again
By Prof. Charles McKelvey, October 01, 2020

The Western European democratic revolutions of the late eighteenth century sought to establish more just societies through replacement of monarchies with republics and the elimination of hereditary class distinctions between nobles and commoners.
By Robert Fantina, October 01, 2020

There are some people who believe a Biden presidency will usher in change. Has hell frozen over? He has a long record in government of ‘business as usual’, so looking for change from him and the Democratic Party is an exercise in futility.

New U.S. Program Targets Cuban Youth

alongthemalecon.blogspot.com
U.S. Interests Section in Havana
The State Department plans to spend $1,212,000 to send 75 to 100 Cuban teen-agers to the United States "to develop leadership skills and learn about civic participation and community engagement."
The teen-agers will remain in the U.S. for three to four weeks as part of the project, called "Summer Leadership Program for Cuban Youth."
Participants must be 16 to 18 years old. English proficiency is not required. The program will be conducted in Spanish.
The Cuban students will take part in "youth-appropriate leadership activities and workshops in a safe environment, interact with American youth and gain first-hand experience with community engagement."
Students will stay with American families for six to eight days during the program "to further introduce the students to American culture."
The State Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs on May 29 announced that it is looking for a non-governmental organization or an educational institution to run the project. The application deadline is June 30.
According to the bureau's request for applications:

The program delivery should be primarily interactive activities, practical experiences, and other hands-on opportunities to learn about the fundamentals of a civil society, leadership skills, critical thinking, democratic principles and community service. The activities could include participation in clubs, camps, seminars, workshops, simulations and role-playing, teambuilding exercises, case studies, a volunteer service project, leadership training exercises, meetings, classroom visits, site visits, and social time among peers.
Other activities may include visits to historical sites, local, state and/or national government centers, community centers, non-governmental organizations, museums and landmarks that combine learning about the principles of government, history, and society with tourism.
Age-appropriate cultural enrichment activities that provide opportunities for participants to interact with each other and Americans may also be part of the program. Programming should include additional American participants wherever possible, accounting for a lack of English language proficiency from Cuban participants.
The program may also include a maximum three-day study tour to Washington, D.C.

#BarrySeal, the #Dallas Get-Away #Plane, and the #JFK #Assassination


Daniel Hopsicker

It’s July 1, 1972. The TV series Bewitched is airing its final episode, Attorney General John N. Mitchell is resigning as chairman of President Nixon's re-election committee, and Sammy Davis JR’s aptly-titled single “Candy Man” is moving smartly up the charts.
And its also the date of Barry Seal’s arrest in New Orleans for conspiracy to export enough C4 plastic explosive to blow the island of Cuba half-way toward the Florida Keys, an arrest which will eventually result in a move on Seal's part that seems to confirm that the explosive rumor about him we've been trying to track down–that he flew a get-away plane out of Dallas after the JFK assassination–is true. Or, rather, is likely true, because we'll never know for certain.
His arrest for attempting to export 7 tons of platic explosive is—although no one suspects it yet—one of the many twists and turns of the Watergate Scandal. And he knows it. When Customs Agents slap the cuffs on Seal in New Orleans, he says, angrily, “All I need is a bunch of Cubans after me.”
