As conversations between Cuba and the United States continue to move forward and both countries are scheduled to open their respective embassies by the end of this month, there are some mainstream media articles that appeared in major newspapers such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Boston Globe, that are spinning the truth so they can stop a process that is unstoppable. The majority of people in the United States are tired of the rhetoric and lies and want to have normal relations with the Cuban people. The new era of US Cuba relations will benefit people from both countries and furthermore Cuba has a lot to offer to the world.
There has been little coverage in the corporate media about a worthy proposal by Professor John Kirk, from the Latin American Studies Department at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, who has nominated the Cuban Medical Internationalism program for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Professor Kirk has good reasons for submitting such a nomination and he clearly outlines it in his letter sighting the most recent example of Cuba’s heroic effort in the fight against Ebola in West Africa. Professor Kirk goes on to point out that the response of Cuba in the fight against Ebola was not an isolated example but rather a tradition that has been in place since the earliest years of the revolution.
