1AC New TrierTournament: New Trier | Round: 1 | Opponent: Various | Judge: Various 1ACPlan Text: The United States federal government should remove Cuba from the list of countries subject to economic penalties governed by Section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act.

Cuba remains on the State Department’s list of terrorism sponsors – designation is a political manipulation and embarrassment to victims of terrorism The long-awaited annual report … been actual victims of terrorism. And, the notion of the terrorist is a socially constructed phenomena based in discourse. Counterterrorism policies fail when we don’t evaluate the construction. If terrorism is a social construction, … on which they are based. The United States manipulates terrorism discourse to expand unquestioned policy When discussions arise concerning the … the post-Bush United States.

Listing Cuba continues the use of vague definitions used to justify suppressionist policies. It is also used to hide mass violence in the name of American exceptionalism A related problem for the "… of civilian-directed state terror. The terrorism justification has empirically been used for oppressive foreign policy in Latin America The designation creates the fantasy of American innocence. Locating blame for terrorism in foreign “others” like Cuba is designed to play to racist predispositions and sanitize brutal American foreign policy This moralism in counter-terror creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. Filtering the world through the simple dichotomies of “good” vs. “evil” obscures complex political relationships, creating more terrorism and causing endless violence. This reproduction of insecurity necessitates escalation – these exceptionalist policies at the heart of the terror list are the root cause of violent action Voting affirmative is an endorsement of a critical interrogation that destabilizes hegemonic knowledge about terrorism. As activist-scholars we have an obligation to uncover subjugated knowledge hidden by the War on Terror. Terrorism policy is performative. The process of discourse and deliberation matters more than a policy’s outcome because it frames the terms of debate. Cuba is a crucial starting point. it strikes an unnerving chord because of persistent, decades-long confrontation with imperialism and potential to set an example of resistance for the global South. Second, Cuba has been portrayed as a threat to American since the Reagan era. Representations are key to policy making | 11/22/13 |
