Lots of News, Often Unverifiable
Clarice Feldman


I’ve been working hard this week trying to keep abreast of national and international events, and I’ve come to the conclusion that much of what is most important to know remains, as yet, murky and unverifiable.

International Developments

Some things are clear. The decades-long oppression of the people of Cuba is coming to an end within days. The country is woefully short of energy sources -- in significant part because Maduro is out and Venezuela is no longer providing it. The country is now barely existing in blackout conditions. President Trump has announced that major tariffs will be imposed on any country that resupplies fuel. I give the existing regime no more than a few days until it’s done.

In Venezuela, despite some signs of pushback by the new interim leader, the transition appears to be proceeding as rapidly as we might wish. This week, it was announced that the national prison is closing, with all prisoners released. Moreover, a general amnesty has been announced.

In the Mideast, in apparent preparation for an attack on Iran’s rulers, Israel has been eliminating Hezb’allah redoubts, striking at Iranian proxies so they cannot come to their sponsors’ aid. Hamas still has not disarmed, and Israel has successfully eliminated more Hamas leaders.

I'd guess only 5% of Briefers remember a "free Cuba". I don't.

How they have been able to survive in that state is a mystery.

Cuba's regime has been propped up this whole time by the Soviets, the Russians and more recently by Venezuela.  Those props are gone, so we'll see what happens next....
