What is your point, Kennykins? Please be specific. Why do think the US
was able to export billions worth of electrical equipment over the
past year? (Hint: See page 1 of any introductory economics textbook..)
Mostly for HOME distribution panels, romex etc. NOT electric generating
plants.
Again, the UN report cited the following examples:

They cited a report done by a United Nations flunkie who made serious
factual errors.

Says you, Kennykins. But we know you are a pathological liar. You
could not even give us a name or even a direct quote.

    Back to name calling, eh Comrade?

Sadly, your record here speaks for itself, Kennykins.

Can't handle FACTS so you resorts to
libel instead. YOU have the cite of the AI report.

Here, I cite the report by Secretary General of the UN.


The claim in it regarding
electricity was footnoted. I referenced it at the time you first brought it
up several times.

So, you have no proof that, as you put, "A United Nations flunky who
made serious factual errors." Thought so.


"The company General Cable Corporation, which sells electrical
equipment and materials, said on 20 March that it could not
establish
trade relations with Cuba because it had not been informed of any
change in the trade relations between the United States and Cuba
and
that, unfortunately, trade relations could not be established
with
Cuba for the time being due to the international laws put in
place by
the Department of State of the United States....

Cuba BOUGHT the "cable" products from China at a substantially lower
price. General Cable's products turned out NOT to be compatable with the
Cuban system or needs.

Prove it. We know how you like to just make things up as you go.
In
any case, the fact remains that these sales were prohibited by
the
terms of your beloved embargo, "compatible" or not.

    PL hs quoted the newspapers in Cuba now a dozen times on their purchases
of generators and transmission cable. You SNIP it from your replies and
behave like it was never posted. FUNDAMENTALLY DISHONEST there COMRADE.
SNIP AND LIE!

Kenny, Kenny, Kenny... WHEN will you learn?

So, you have no proof that, as you put it, "General Cable's products
turned out NOT to be compatable (sic) with the Cuban system or needs."
You just made it all up. As usual.



"The distribution company Imeco, prevented from importing Westinghouse
and Cutler Hammer branded electrical components manufactured in the
United States, had to carry out the transaction through the
itermediary Conyal S.A.; as a result, it paid significantly more  for
the products in question.
Westinghouse is owned by TOSHIBA of Japan.

So what? These components were manufactured in the USA, so the
sale
was blocked for purely political reasons.

    Cutler Hammer's products are built in the U.S., [...]

As the UN report said.

Westinghouse's plants
for manufacturing electrical generators have been CLOSED for years

There you go again, Kennykins... Who said anything about generators?

Again, we are left with the fact that, as Amnesty International
reported in September:

"The export of medicines and medical supplies continues to be SEVERELY
LIMITED.... The RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY THE EMBARGO help to deprive
Cuba of vital access to medicines, new scientific and medical
technology, food, chemical water treatment and electricity.”

(Note: Link to HTML version seems to be broken at this time.)

Whatever it takes, right, Kennykins? Sadly for you, it seems almost
the entire international community is onto your self-serving lies and
rationalizations. Must be frustrating as hell for you.
