U.N. Declares U.S. Broadcasts to Cuba Illegal

Delegates to the United Nations’ World Radio Communication Conference 2007 declared Radio and Television Marti’s broadcasts to Cuba illegal. The conference, which was organized by the U.N. International Telecommunications Union, approved a series of resolutions condemning the actions of the U.S. Office of Cuba Broadcasting.

The resolutions followed a complaint from Castro’s government that the broadcasts “are interfering with our right to protect our people from capitalist lies.” “This programming has not been approved by our government,” a spokesman for the Castro regime asserted. “It contradicts our government’s message—sowing doubt and mistrust—undermining confidence in the socialist revolution.”

Radio and Television Marti was created through the U.S. Radio Broadcasting to Cuba Act of 1983 and began transmission in May 1985. The signals are beamed to Cuba six days a week from an aircraft at an annual cost of about $6 million.

Our past rents have, given the makeup of the UN, paid us up through 2711. Wonder how much voice they'll have with no money to spew their "potty mouthed" propoganda.

I say, "Boot their cars and then boot'em outta the country!

Krushchev had missiles aimed at us when he bitched about RFE. We told him to pack sand and the UN backed us.
