Episode Details

Only one tanker of oil has been delivered to Cuba this year as the United States imposes a brutal economic blockade enforced through a naval occupation and threats of force. The ramifications are tremendous - industries and transportation have shut down, what little food is available is rotting due to lack of refrigeration and hospitals are unable to provide life-saving care. Clearing the FOG speaks with Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK, who has been leading humanitarian delegations to Cuba, about the crisis, retaliation against her and others for their efforts and the possibility of a military invasion.
