In 1964, the U.S. Congress passed legislation allowing the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission to open up the Cuba Claims program, with the intention to certify and verify what the American businesses and individual families had lost due to expropriation, and to determine a dollar value of lost assets for each claim. In the end, after all the data and documentation collection was complete, 5,913 Americans were able to have their lost assets certified by our United States Government, and we are referred to as the U.S. Certified Claimants.
- Before 1959, the US was Cuba's main trading partner, with Florida being Cuba's largest state partner. Cuba exported 85% of goods to the US.
- Fidel Castro became president of Cuba in 1959 and established a socialist/communist government, straining relations with the US.
- The US imposed an economic embargo on Cuba in 1960 which remains in place today, though some agricultural/medical exports are now permitted. The embargo aims to pressure Cuba on human rights issues.
The document summarizes the history of trade relations between the United States and Cuba. It discusses how Cuba relied heavily on trade with the US prior to Fidel Castro's rise to power in 1959. After 1959, the US instituted a trade embargo against Cuba and severed all diplomatic relations. Over time, global support for the embargo has diminished as former supporters now trade with Cuba. There is debate over whether the embargo should remain in place or if the US should normalize trade relations with Cuba as a means to encourage political change. Some argue lifting the embargo could provide economic opportunities for US companies in Cuba, while others view the embargo as a relic of the Cold War that is no longer justified.
The document provides background on the ongoing US embargo against Cuba that was imposed in 1962. It discusses the arguments for and against maintaining the embargo, as well as new developments in US-Cuba relations in recent years. This includes President Obama announcing in 2014 that diplomatic relations would be restored between the two countries for the first time since 1961, though the embargo remains in place. Responses from Cuban American senators expressed skepticism about normalization of relations.

The document summarizes the impact of the U.S.-Cuba relationship on trade. [1] Before 1959, the U.S. and Cuba had strong economic ties, with the U.S. being Cuba's largest trading partner and over 85% of Cuban exports going to the U.S. [2] After the Cuban revolution in 1959, relations soured and the U.S. imposed an embargo, banning trade with Cuba. [3] Lifting the embargo could generate over $8-20 billion in annual U.S. exports and create over 250,000 American jobs by taking advantage of Cuba's labor force and agricultural exports.

The document summarizes U.S.-Cuba relations and sanctions over the past 50 years. It outlines the timeline of sanctions and policies under different administrations. While initially imposed for national security reasons during the Cold War, the sanctions have had little impact on Cuba's regime but have strengthened Castro's power. Present-day Cuba is no longer a threat, but the issue remains politicized. Removing sanctions could open a $1 billion agricultural market for the U.S. and improve relations with allies opposed to the embargo.
International Political Economy: Cuba & U.S. RelationsDaniel Clay
The United States first imposed an economic embargo on Cuba in the 1960s after Fidel Castro overthrew the U.S.-backed government and established ties with the Soviet Union. The embargo aimed to destabilize Castro's regime without military force. However, after 50 years the embargo has had little effect in achieving this goal, and Cuba's economy remains tied to exports like sugar, oil and tourism. With Castro no longer in power and the international community opposing the embargo, recent U.S. presidents have begun lifting some sanctions, suggesting further reforms may be forthcoming.

President Henry Matai announced that the United States will lift its embargo against Cuba and restore diplomatic relations after 51 years. This comes after President Matai and Cuban President Raul Castro briefly met at the Olympics and agreed in subsequent discussions to end the embargo and Cold War tensions between the two countries. The administration outlined a three-part plan for Cuba to transition to a full democracy, including legalizing private businesses and opposition parties by 2015 and elections in 2016 and 2017, in exchange for Cuba fulfilling promises like returning seized American properties. President Matai believes this will allow the Cuban people to determine their own destiny as a free, democratic state integrated into the global economy.

The document discusses Britain's historical economic and political influence in Latin America from the early 19th century until the mid-20th century. It notes that Britain sought to break the Spanish and Portuguese monopolies and advance its own commercial interests against rivals like France. By the late 19th century, Britain had significant economic interests in countries like Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Chile and Uruguay through public finance, shipping, exports, railways and other industries. However, its influence declined after World War 1 as the US gained ground economically and politically in the region at Britain's expense.
The document provides an overview of several topics related to Latin America in the 19th century including:
1) Racial differences played a role in many wars, such as the Haitian War of Independence which ended with a black uprising against French colonists.
2) Following independence from Spain, new Latin American nations struggled with forming a unified national identity across diverse territories and populations, leading to civil wars and instability.
3) Territorial conquest was a cause of some wars between Latin American nations, such as the War of the Triple Alliance in which Paraguay lost territory and population.
4) European powers like the U.S. and Britain intervened in Latin America for economic and political reasons following
The Cuban Revolution occurred in 1959 when Fidel Castro overthrew the authoritarian ruler Fulgencio Batista. Batista's Cuba had a wealthy elite but most Cubans lived in poverty with little access to land, healthcare, or education. The revolution aimed to remove Batista, establish democracy, and gain independence from heavy U.S. influence. When Castro took power he transformed Cuba into a communist state, seizing private property and businesses. This led the U.S. to impose an embargo and sour relations. Under Castro, Cuba established a command economy reliant on the Soviet Union and citizens saw restrictions on civil liberties, though gains were made in healthcare, education, and literacy.

The document discusses the history and current state of Latin America and Venezuela. It describes how Britain and the US came to have economic and political influence in Latin America in the 19th century. It then explains that Venezuela has immense oil wealth but suffers from poverty, violence, and a repressive government under Hugo Chavez, who maintains power through propaganda instead of addressing the country's problems. Despite grounds for revolution, the people continue supporting their leader.

The document summarizes the Latin American business environment and economic outlook for 2016. It finds that Latin American economies have struggled since 2014 to adjust to slow growth among trading partners, low commodity prices, and a strong US dollar. The outlook varies across the region, with the Pacific Alliance expected to see better growth than more state-controlled economies. Relations with Cuba are also changing as the US and Cuba work to normalize relations, but political and economic reforms will be needed for Cuba to fully open up.
Business Economics of US is studied where its market and growth from past to present and future challenges to the growth is covered such as depression and debt problems.
Britain had economic and political interests in Latin America starting in the 19th century, establishing trade relationships and treaties first with Brazil.

The document discusses several topics related to Latin America in the 19th century:
1) The wars of independence fought between 1791-1824 resulted in many Latin American countries gaining independence from European monarchies like Spain and Portugal.
2) Post-independence, Latin American countries struggled with civil wars, territorial disputes, and interventions from powerful countries like the United States and Britain seeking to expand their influence or commercial interests in the region.
3) Caudillos, or strongman leaders, emerged in the unstable political environment and often plunged countries into further conflict through their pursuit of power.
Modern Latin America Independence Movements
- In the late 1700s, Enlightenment ideas spread from Europe to Latin America, inspiring educated Latin Americans to fight for independence from colonial rule.
- The first Latin American colony to revolt was the French colony of Haiti in 1791, led by the former slave Toussaint L'Ouverture. Haiti declared independence in 1804 after defeating Napoleon's army.

The relationship between the US and Cuba deteriorated from disconnection to hostility over time. Key events like the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 increased tensions and led to hostile diplomatic talks. The Bay of Pigs invasion, a failed CIA-backed operation to overthrow Fidel Castro, was a major blow to US-Cuba relations. It was one of the first attempts to overthrow Castro that ended in disaster. This further strained relations and set the stage for the Cuban Missile Crisis, bringing the two countries close to nuclear war. Overall, the document outlines the timeline of key events in US-Cuba relations from the 1940s-1980s and how the relationship transitioned

U.S., Cuba Restore Ties After 50 Yearsmaditabalnco
The 116-year relationship between the US and Cuba has been strained since Cuba gained independence in 1902. Key events include the US backing Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship in the 1950s, Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution that led to Cuba allying with the Soviet Union, the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis that brought the countries to the brink of nuclear war, and decades of US embargo against Cuba. In recent years some restrictions have eased and in 2014 the countries began normalizing relations, culminating in the December 2014 announcement of plans to further normalize diplomatic and economic ties.
1) Fulgencio Batista ruled Cuba as a military dictator from 1952-1959, favoring the upper class. 2) Fidel Castro led a revolutionary movement against Batista's regime along with Ernesto "Che" Guevara. They took power in 1959. 3) Under Castro, Cuba adopted Marxist policies and formed close ties with the Soviet Union, straining its relationship with the United States.
1) Cuba was colonized by Spain in the 16th century and remained under Spanish rule until the late 19th century. Slavery and the growth of sugar plantations transformed Cuba into a major sugar producer by the 1800s.
2) Growing Cuban nationalism and rebellions in the late 1800s failed to gain independence from Spain. The U.S. intervened in 1898 and ensured Cuban independence from Spain following the Spanish-American War.
3) The early 1900s saw both periods of U.S. intervention and democratic rule, but authoritarianism increased under Gerardo Machado from 1925-1933 and later under Fulgencio Batista, who seized power as military strongman in 1952.

Cuba's National
As ...
Fidel Castro was a Cuban revolutionary leader who served as Prime Minister of Cuba from 1959 to 1976 and then as President until 2008. He led the Cuban Revolution that overthrew the U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. As leader of Cuba, Castro established a communist government and close economic and military ties with the Soviet Union. This led to increased tensions with the U.S., including the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Castro maintained power as Cuba's leader for nearly 50 years until he resigned in 2008 due to poor health.
1) Central America experienced repressive governments, social conflicts, and civil wars in the 1900s that impeded progress and wealth was concentrated among the elite as rebels fought for reforms.
2) The Cuban Revolution overthrew the dictator Fulgencio Battista in 1959, led by Fidel Castro who promised democracy but established a communist state instead, causing Cubans who opposed his rule to flee to Florida.
3) Tensions escalated between Cuba and the US, including the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis that brought the world close to nuclear war, establishing a direct line between Kennedy and Khrushchev and leading to arms treaties.
Fidel Castro ruled Cuba for almost 50 years until stepping down in 2008 due to poor health. He died in 2016 at the age of 90. After Castro's death, his ashes were placed in a tomb in Santiago de Cuba. Castro led a communist revolution against the U.S.-backed Batista regime in 1959 and turned Cuba into a one-party communist state, nationalizing businesses and aligning with the Soviet Union. Though Castro was popular among some Cubans, others opposed his authoritarian rule and communist policies, leading many to flee to Florida. Castro's death renewed debates about his legacy and Cuba's future political system.
Fidel Castro led a revolution against the dictatorial Fulgencio Batista in 1959 and established a communist government in Cuba. The US initially supported Castro's efforts to overthrow Batista but relations soured as Castro nationalized foreign-owned businesses and allied with the Soviet Union. This led to failed US-backed efforts to invade Cuba and remove Castro, as well as a continuing economic embargo. Cuba's economy struggled under Castro's communist rule and US sanctions.

The Cuban Revolution began in the 1950s as a response to the oppressive dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Fidel Castro led a rebel group against Batista's government, eventually overthrowing him in 1959 and establishing a communist government in Cuba. This damaged Cuba's relationship with the United States, leading to an ongoing trade embargo. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the US and Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war over Soviet missiles placed in Cuba. Castro's communist policies weakened Cuba's economy over decades. He resigned as president in 2008 and was succeeded by his brother Raul.
The Cuban Revolution overthrew the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959, led by Fidel Castro. Castro established a communist government in Cuba and seized property owned by Americans and Cubans. This strained relations with the United States, who did not approve of a communist country so close. The failed Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis further deteriorated relations between the two countries. Due to the US embargo and Cuba's communist policies, Cuba's economy declined significantly. Relations between Cuba and the US remain tense to this day.

On Storytelling & Magic Realism in Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Shame, and ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Salman Rushdie’s novels are humorous books about serious times. His cosmopolitanism and
hybrid identity allowed him access to multiple cultures, religions, languages, dialects, and various modes of
writing. His style is often classified as magic realism, blending the imaginary with the real. He draws
inspiration from both English literature and Indian classical sources. Throughout his works, there is a lineage of
‘bastards of history’, a carnival of shameful characters scrolling all along his works. Rushdie intertwines fiction
with reality, incorporating intertextual references to Western literature in his texts, and frequently employing
mythology to explore history. This paper focuses on Rushdie’s three novels: Midnight’s Children, Shame, and
Haroun and the Sea of Stories, analyzing his postmodern storytelling techniques that aim to explore human
vices and follies while offering socio-political criticism.

CYBER SECURITY ENHANCEMENT IN NIGERIA. A CASE STUDY OF SIX STATES IN THE NORT...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Security plays an important role in human life and endeavors. Securing information and
disseminating are critical challenges in the present day. This study aimed at identifying innovative technologies
that aid cybercrimes and can constitute threats to cybersecurity in North Central (Middle Belt) Nigeria covering
its six States and the FCT Abuja. A survey research design was adopted. The researchers employed the use of
Google form in administering the structured questionnaire. The instruments were faced validated by one expert
each from ICT and security. Cronbach Alpha reliability Coefficient was employed and achieved 0.83 level of
coefficient. The population of the study was 200, comprising 100 undergraduate students from computer science
and Computer/Robotics Education, 80 ICT instructors, technologists and lecturers in the University and
Technical Colleges in the Middle Belt Nigeria using innovative technologies for their daily jobs and 20 officers
of the crime agency such as: Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) andEconomic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC). Three research purposes and questions as well as the hypothesis guided the study
on Five (5) point Likert scale. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the three
research questions while three hypotheses were tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. Major findings
revealed that serious steps are needed to better secure the cybers against cybercrimes. Motivation, types, threats
and strategies for the prevention of cybercrimes were identified. The study recommends that government,
organizations and individuals should place emphasis on moral development, regular training of its employees,
regular update of software, use strong password, back up data and information, produce strong cybersecurity
policy, install antivirus soft and security surveillance (CCTV) in offices in order to safeguard its employees and
properties from being hacked and vandalized.

authorized to determine the amount and validity of the
CLAIMS OF *AMERICAN CITIZENS,
*WHO WERE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES AT THE TIME OF CASTRO’S RISE TO
POWER,
AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OF CUBA
based upon: (1) debts for merchandise furnished or services rendered
by nationals of the United States; (2) losses arising since January 1,
1959, as a result of the nationalization of other taking of property
belonging to United States nationals; and (3) disability or death of
nationals of the United States resulting from actions taken by, or under
the authority of the Government of Cuba since January 1, 1959.
Subsequently, the Government of the United States terminated
relations with the Government of Cuba after all attempts to negotiate
these claims failed.

4. Before the 1959 Castro revolution, Cuba and the United States had many
business ties and successful business partnerships. Cuba was one of the most
advanced countries in Latin America, and because of its proximity to Florida’s
coast, it was easy to transport goods from each other's ports. A passenger ferry
ran from Florida to Cuba, making it easy for people to travel routinely back and
forth as well.
Their successes benefited both countries economically and socially, and Cubans
traveled to America and Americans vacationed in Cuba. The United States was
the largest buyer of Cuban sugar, making the U.S. consumer vital to Cuba’s
economy.
Americans lived, worked, and had businesses and industries in Cuba. They
were from many different U.S. states and some traveled back and forth between
countries. Ranchers sold cattle from Florida, farmers sold wheat from Iowa, and
business professionals from major U.S. cities managed their Cuban branch
offices. The relationship between the Cubans and Floridians was even more
heavily invested because of the mere 90 miles between them. And unlike what
Hollywood movies depict, Americans in Cuba were not mobsters or corrupt
corporations running Cuba. These Americans were from “all walks of life” and
provided goods and services to Cuba for generations, surviving through the
turmoil of revolutions and regime changes.
American and Cuban Relationships
8. Castro Takes Control of the Cuban Government
In January 1959, Fidel Castro and his militia overthrew the Cuban government. Castro’s
rise to power was one of the most grievous debacles in Cuban-U.S. political history.
Castro’s revolution was not a singlehanded event, but rather it was a series of events and
betrayals, which lead up to the dissolution of a relationship with a friendly pro-
American Cuban government. Castro and his militia were known terrorists, who were
responsible for bombings, murders, kidnappings, blackmailing, and other terroristic
activities throughout Cuba for many years, including the kidnapping of many
Americans.
One of the most grievous decisions that lead to the betrayal of Cuba was when the U.S.
decided to suspend a shipment of arms in March 1958. When news of the suspension
got out, the uncertainty of whom the U.S. supported was ruinous to the Cuban armed
forces and its citizens. This was the beginning of the end for the Cuban government.
Ousted political opponents that were exiled and living in the U.S. pressured our
politicians to rally behind the Castro movement, so some of them did. Meanwhile,
Castro’s militia was receiving secret shipments of weapons via their exiled supporters
from the U.S., while the legitimate Cuban government was denied arms to protect their
citizens from these terrorists.
Once Castro was in power, he ordered the death of all those affiliated with the previous
regime, killing over 500 people. Castro’s infamous murders by firing squads shocked
the world.
12. Castro began to confiscate private properties when he gained control of Cuba in January
1959. He initially targeted the properties of anyone affiliated or associated with the
previous Cuban government, regardless of citizenship or nationality. Castro then
started to confiscate all properties of Americans in Cuba, including both corporate and
private individual properties.
The first U.S. corporate asset expropriated in March 1959, belonged to the International
Telephone and Telegraph’s subsidiary, the Cuban Telephone Company. Castro enacted a
series of laws that sanctified and allowed his new government to expropriate all private
properties in Cuba. Castro signed the Agrarian Reform Act in May of 1959, which
allowed the confiscation of farmlands. The following year, in October 1960, the new
Cuban government passed laws nationalizing all assets in Cuba. Within two years,
Castro had essentially stripped all citizens living in Cuba, from their rights to own
property, thus enriching his new ruling junta. Castro took an estimated $1.8 billion (in
1960 dollars) in American properties between 1959 and 1960.
The U.S. government did nothing to protect the American properties or stop Castro
from taking them. Many Americans were terrorized when Castro’s militia showed up
with guns, forced them out of their homes, and took all their worldly possessions. Bank
accounts were frozen; cars, land, farms, and all personal possessions were gone. They
took everything and anything that they deemed valuable, and told the Americans to
leave or else. So they left with nothing but their lives and some families simply never
financially recovered.
The American Confiscation
14. The U.S. Certified Claimants
In 1964, the U.S. Congress passed legislation allowing the Foreign Claims
Settlement Commission to open up the Cuba Claims program, with the
intention to certify and verify what the American businesses and individual
families had lost due to expropriation, and to determine a dollar value of lost
assets for each claim. In the end, after all the data and documentation
collection was complete, 5,913 Americans were able to have their lost assets
certified by our United States Government, and we are referred to as the U.S.
Certified Claimants.
This claims program was our one and only hope to ever see compensation
for the expropriation of our properties by the Castro Government. And we
were all hopeful that one day things would change, the embargo would end,
and that our certified claims would be settled and resolved.
No one, including our parents and the U.S. Legislators who were alive and
active with these claims issue in 1964, would have ever imagined that the
Castro government would still be in power and that the claims would still
remain unresolved more than 50 years later.

17. The Cuban Confiscation
In October 1960, the Cuban Government passed laws allowing the nationalization of
all Cuban business and industry, thus making it legal to steal from their own Cuban
citizens. The Cuban government took all Cuban owned businesses, hotels, factories,
mills, plantations, stores, restaurants, farms, and much more. The American
confiscation was small in comparison to what was taken from the Cubans.
The only possession the Cubans were allowed to keep was their cars and certain
personal possessions. It was forbidden to own any items that the Cuban government
deemed as luxury items, so in many cases these were taken away from their rightful
owners and used by the government officials as they pleased. The final blow to the
Cuban people was when the Cuban currency changed, making it impossible to trade
the new currency on the international markets. The Cuban government also limited
the amount of money you could have, so if your bank account was over the limit, any
overage went into its coffers.
The well-educated upper and middle class Cubans fled Cuba in droves. Many of them
settled in Miami, New Jersey, New York, and New Orleans, and eventually became
American citizens. These original Cuban exiles succeeded in the U.S., as they did
before in Cuba. Their children were born, raised, and educated in the U.S., and many
have become outstanding and successful American citizens, and are leaders in
business and government. They are a reflection of their parent’s resilience and
determination to begin a new life where their children could prosper and live free
from tyranny.
19. After the new Cuban government confiscated the American properties, Cuba
aligned itself with the Soviet Union, marking the beginning of the Cuban
threat against the United States.
The Soviet Union was more than happy to partner with Castro’s Cuba and
send their missiles to Cuba. With this new powerful ally and weapons of
mass destruction at his disposal, Castro launched an agenda of propaganda,
of hate and lies about America. It was during these times that we all were on
edge because of the real threat of the U.S. being bombed by Cuba. Castro’s
famous anti-American speeches were fueled with rhetoric and threats that
the U.S. would be bombed by Cuba, so we were living in tense and fearful
times. Cuba’s proximity to Florida’s coast was now to our disadvantage.

23. The United States Cuban Embargo
In 1962, President Kennedy signed Proclamation 3447, enacting the embargo on all
trade with the Cuban government. This was in retaliation for the confiscation of
American properties and in response to other hostile Cuban actions and its
alignment with a subversive communist Soviet Union.
Prior to the signing of this proclamation, President Eisenhower began a partial
embargo against Cuba in October 1960, and approved an anti-Castro plan. This
was the beginning of the trade sanctions against Cuba, and it was imposed as a way
to induce the return of the American properties.
Today, there are two political sides to the embargo. One side wants to absolve the
Cuban Government’s past crimes and atrocities, by dissolving our sanctions against
Cuba, thus allowing their constituent's businesses to profit and gain on an early
foothold in the Cuban markets. The other side wants the communism out of Cuba,
personal freedoms restored, and properties compensated to their rightful owners,
including some sort of possible restitution for the Americans that were victims of
Castro’s nationalization of their properties in the 1960’s.
The U.S. Certified claimants understand that Cuba has many complex issues and
that the embargo will soon end. However, the certified claimants are usually
omitted from the Cuban embargo argument and the embargo cannot end, by law, if
the claims are not resolved.
24. The Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis were past historical events that
continued the downward spiral in American and Cuban relations. Today’s
issues between Cuba and the U.S. involve an American citizen named Alan
Gross, who was wrongly imprisoned and has been sitting in a Cuban jail for
many years, and the Cuban Five, who were arrested and jailed in the U.S. for
espionage against our country. One of the Cuban Five has been released and
is back in Cuba and the other four are still in jail.
While both the past and current issues between Cuba and the U.S. are
important and significant, this presentation’s goal is to explain what
happened to the Americans that were living and doing business in Cuba,
when Castro overthrew the Cuban government. This was the largest
uncompensated expropriation of properties belonging to Americans, yet most
Americans are unaware of this crime.

27. The Solution
The solution can come in many forms, including the idea of a user fee on
Cuba’s exports to the United States, and additionally, a user fee tacked on to
what the U.S. exports to Cuba. This would rectify our claims and allow the
Cuban economy to grow, without the burden of a large lump sum cash
settlement. Cuba’s economy will flourish once again, when markets
between the U.S. and Cuba flow again. This fee can be used to pay back the
U. S. Certified Cuban Claimants in full. Even though the U.S. is not directly
to blame for the American confiscation, the lack of action to protect
American properties should reflect some blame and responsibility.
Once all the American claims are paid in full, this user fee can be eliminated
from U.S. exports to Cuba, and maybe the fee can still be collected from the
Cuban exports to the U.S., in order to pay back the original Cubans that had
their properties seized by the Cuban Government. This would be a fair
solution to both confiscations, thus resolving the embargo, and rectifying
what happened to our Cuban American citizens, with the restitution resting
on the shoulders of the Cuban government.
28. If you are a U.S. Certified Claimant, please contact your Congressman and
Senator, and let them know that you want their representation concerning a
fair resolution of your claim. Contact the Foreign Claims Settlement
Commission and make sure they know you are an active participant of your
claim and that they have updated contact information for you. If you
remain silent and inactive and expect the best outcome from your claim by
waiting for the Cuban embargo to end, you would be wrong, because by
then, decisions on a settlement would have already been negotiated.
Even though there has been no announcement of official negotiations for
ending the embargo, we know that there are negotiations going on during
“behind closed doors meetings”. The fate of the claimants will be decided
in those meetings, without our input.
The confiscation of our properties was a main element in the embargo
legislation, so we should also be the main focus and element to the ending
of the U.S. Cuban Embargo.

30. Why Americans Should Care
Americans and our political leader cared about us in the past, but today’s
Americans are either misinformed or uninformed as to who we are, and what
happened to us in Cuba some 55 years ago. The generalization and assumption that
all Americans living and working in Cuba were corrupt or associated with the
mafia, is emphatically not true, but nearly impossible to rectify. Some call us an
“obstacle” to the ending of the embargo, however, when it first happened, we were
the “victims” of a confiscation. We bought our properties legally and within the
Cuban legal system, unlike the way Castro’s militia took our properties, which was
sometimes at gunpoint.
The Americans that lived in Cuba were also well-educated wealthy and middle
class Americans. They were successful leaders and entrepreneurs who were
conducting business as usual, contributing greatly to the Cuban economy, when
their personal belongings and businesses were taken. If your agenda is to discredit
and dismiss us as un-American and not worth helping, then that is an indication of
where the United States is headed. Some people prefer to regard a communist
dictator as the victim, and the Americans that were harmed by him as criminals.
Our forefathers fought and died for our freedoms, and it is an inherent “right” to
own property. Property rights are the foundation of a free and civil society, and
without those freedoms and rights, we are slaves. This is true for both Cuban and
American citizens.
32. It is time to assert yourself and let other Americans know what happened to
your family. Write to your Senators and congressional representatives, and
President Obama. Let them know that you are a holder of a U.S. Certified
Claim, and as an American citizen, you expect your government to find a
solution for a fair compensation of our claims before the embargo ends. Please
President Obama, don’t let Castro steal from us again.
If you are a certified claimant and are interested in hearing about the current
issues and our solutions concerning the claims and embargo, please feel free to
contact us. We are always working on the claims issue. We know that there
are those who are attempting to rewrite history by tainting us as something
other than what we really are. We are the Americans who were wronged.
This needs to be made right! The emotional impact of this crime may have
appeared to have diminished over time, but the lessons still remain clear.
Those lessons should not be forgotten and should serve to teach and / or
remind all Americans about this injustice so that they too will know and care
about the U.S. Certified Claimants!
