Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

The Unknown History of Cuba in Angola


How important was the intervention of Cuban troops in the Angolan civil war of 1975-76?  The video below deals with this forgotten, if not totally unknown history which occurred during the Ford Administration with Henry Kissinger as Secretary of State.  

The speaker from John Hopkins University here is excellent.  His statement about Pres. Obama not following up on good words and gestures, appears to be out of date to some extent, as U. S. recognition of the socialist regime of Cuba has happened this year.  More needs to be done.  Fidel Castro cannot be said to be an angel.  Yet nor is he a devil.  Who is Castro?  This video gives some clue.  

(Video ends with a plea for financial support.  Patriot in Exigency neither condemns nor supports this plea.)   

[Video is posting without audio.  I am attempting a fix and apologize for the delay.]
