Biden admin announces $2 million in hurricane aid to communist Cuba

Excerpt:

The Biden administration announced on Tuesday it was providing $2 million in hurricane aid to communist Cuba after the island was ravaged by Hurricane Ian. The State Dept. claims they will work with independent organizations to distribute the aid.

The Biden administration will provide $2 million to Cuba for emergency relief efforts following Hurricane Ian, the State Department said on Tuesday.

The Communist government of Cuba made a rare request for aid from Washington in September after Hurricane Ian knocked out power to the entire island of 11 million people, killed three people and drove thousands from their homes.

The United States will work with independent organizations to provide the aid, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement.

It’s also worth noting one of the independent organizations the State Dept. mentioned it would use to distribute the aid is the Red Cross. The Red Cross in Cuba is under the control of the Castro dictatorship’s Ministry of Health, and in the past has acted as a tool of oppression for the regime. During an outdoor Mass by Pope Benedict XVI while visiting Cuba in 2012, Cuban Red Cross personnel beat a protester who shouted “down with communism.”

Red Cross?

It’s absolutely amazing the number of situations where “Who do you trust?” has been replaced by “Who CAN you trust?”

More tricky unnamed NGOs to Cuba for 2 Mil. Biden is a real auctioneer.

The money shipped out of this country, starting with Obama, and out of our pocket is stratispheric.

Priority #1 was always financial destruction, imo, before the Plan could take down America.
