Obama Blame Us Again , Obama: ‘I Believe in the Free Flow of Information Liar and Blames U.S. for Denying Cubans Access to Communications Technology so the Communist government of Cuban has been using restrictions on it people stating in 1959 and that are fault to?
CNSNews.com) - In announcing that his administration had made a deal with Cuba to free U.S. citizen Alan Gross—who had been imprisoned in Cuba for delivering telephones with Internet access to members of Cuba’s Jewish community—President Obama blamed U.S. sanctions on Cuba for denying telecommunications technology to the Cuban people.
About 900 words earlier in the same speech, Obama had argued that the main impact of U.S. sanction was to inspire the Communist government of Cuba to restrict the freedom of its people.
First, Obama said: "And though this [sanctions] policy has been rooted in the best of intentions, no other nation joins us in imposing these sanctions, and it has had little effect beyond providing the Cuban government with a rationale for restrictions on its people."
“Unfortunately," he continued, "our sanctions on Cuba have denied Cubans access to technology that has empowered individuals around the globe. So I’ve authorized increased telecommunications connections between the United States and Cuba. Businesses will be able to sell goods that enable Cubans to communicate with the United States and other countries.”
The Communist government in Cuba imprisoned Alan Gross precisely because he distributed communications technology to people in Cuba.
In 2011, the New York Times reported that Alan Gross “was detained in December 2009 when, according to Cuban authorities, he was distributing satellite telephone equipment to Jewish groups on the island that would have allowed them access to the Internet, which is widely restricted by the Cuban government.”
A March 2012 editorial in the New York Times said:
“When he was arrested in Havana in late 2009, Alan Gross, a subcontractor for the United States Agency for International Development, was helping Cuba's Jewish community get better access to the Internet. A Cuban court last year found him guilty of participating in a 'subversive project of the U.S. government that aimed to destroy the revolution through the use of communications systems out of the control of authorities,’ and sentenced him to 15 years in prison."
The 2013 State Department report on human rights in Cuba, which was published this year, said the Cuban government allows citizens almost no access to the Internet. Police, according to the State Department, literally patrol the streets seeking to detect Internet or satellite television equipment.
Violators are sometimes imprisoned for the crime of seeking to use (employ the terminology used in imprisoning Alan Gross) "communications systems out of the control of authorities"
“There were significant government restrictions on access to the internet and widespread reports that the government monitored without appropriate legal authority the limited e-mail and internet chat rooms and browsing that were permitted,” says the State Department report. “The government controlled all internet access, with the exception of extremely limited facilities provided by a few diplomatic missions and some black-market facilities.
“While the International Telecommunication Union reported that 3 percent of households had internet access and 23 percent of citizens used the internet in 2011, in many cases this access was limited to a domestic intranet that offered only e-mail or highly restricted access to the World Wide Web,” said the State Department.
“Human rights groups reported that authorities used mobile patrols to search for unauthorized internet and satellite television equipment,” said the State Department. “When police discovered violators, they confiscated the equipment and fined, and sometimes jailed, the owners.”
"We welcome Cuba’s decision to provide more access to the Internet for its citizens," Obama said in his speech on Wednesday.
