Also lets het real here, Cuba share, don't trade information with the America's enemies, that buy chance are Cuba's friends. The American government does exactly the same with his allies and lie to his citizens. Gof knows the facts behind the Kennedy death. The truth about UFO, the truth about 9/11.
