The People of the US are now suffering
to no small degree with the biggest boycott
in all history.
This is the boycott imposed upon the People
of the US by the US government itself.
This is brought about by the embargoes that
the US government has imposed upon Cuba,
Iraq, N Korea and others dating back 50 years.
These embargoes are felt by the US People
measured in billions of dollars by losses in
trade and services which would otherwise
have taken place.
The US People are being hit just as hard as
the Cubans, Iraqiis, Koreans and others.
It is this 'hidden' boycott, which in terms of
unemployment, poverty and worse which needs
to be exposed both for the good of Cubans,
Iraqiis, Koreans and the US People.
Dont add to the suffering of the US people with
yet more boycott - expose the boycott and stop
the suffering!
The same type of thing is happening here in the
UK and in other countries.
Expositionally,
Bill.
