Cuba: Sanity-Insanity

And Decency vs. Indecency!!
In other words: Mendrala vs. Bolton!!
{Monday, April 29th, 2019}
      When it comes to U.S.-Cuba Relations, Emily Mendrala -- the Executive Director of the Washington-based Center for Democracy in the Americas -- represents not only sanity and decency but also No One in Washington knows more about U.S.-Cuba Relations than Emily Mendrala. Having worked tirelessly on those issues and challenges both inside and outside the U. S. government, her expertise...along with her decency and sanity...should mean that she...and others like her...should be the ones primarily influencing or actually making Cuban decisions within the U. S. government in Republican or Democratic administrations. Yet, incredibly, within the bowels of the world's strongest democracy, it is people like Emily Mendrala that the Batistiono-Mafiosi stranglehold on the USA's Cuban policies leave out of the loop on Cuban issues, almost all of which are dictated by a small extremist fringe from Miami and within both the U. S. Congress and in all Republican White Houses. And sadly for Americans, for Cuban-Americans, and for Cubans on the island, that means...for the most part...indecency and insanity have ruled the USA's Cuban policies virtually since January 1 of 1959 when ultra-rich/high echelon exiles fleeing the Cuban Revolution overwhelmed U. S. cities such as Miami and Newark, which put them on the path to political power once entities such as the Bush dynasty; Congressmen like Jesse Helms, Dan Burton, and Robert Torricelli, etc.; and the Tea Party hitched their economic and political fortunes to that of the most vicious Counter Revolutionary Cubans. This situation, always massively exacerbated during Republican administrations that literally take their Cuban orders from only the most extremist Counter Revolutionary Cubans, means that the unique knowledge, decency, and sanity from America's best Cuban experts like Emily Mendrala are totally drowned out by recycled old war-mongering/anti Cuban zealots such as...John Bolton.
      Thus, with a Republican President like Donald Trump in the White House, John Bolton in April of 2019 can go back to Little Havana/Batistiano territory in the Miami area and dictate, on America's behalf, vast amount of punishment and torture for Cubans on the island. As an even bigger insult to America and to Democracy, John Bolton can make those pronouncements standing in front of the Brigada Asalto 2506 banner that was the battle flag in April of 1961 when the USA/CIA/Cuban exiles attacked Revolutionary Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, which still stands as one of America's and Democracy's BIGGEST LOSSES and LOUDEST HUMILIATIONS. But never mind because John Bolton can get away with such cruel, vitriolic speeches because he speaks for another Republican White House and because even the mainstream U. S. media...including the left-wingers intent on impeaching Trump...are too afraid of the Batistianos to report fairly or objectively on the depths of the Cuban-exile government that exists within the bowels of what is known worldwide as the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.
       Therefore, in April of 2019 it simply doesn't matter what true, decent, sane, and democracy-loving Cuban experts such as Emily Mendrala say regarding U.S.-Cuban relations...not when their sanity and decency can be so easily over-ruled, overshadowed, and overwhelmed by a mere handful of right-wing rogues who benefit revengfully, economically, and politically hiding behind the skirts of the world's nearby Superpower. But just for the record, here are some of the exact words that Emily Mendrala at the Center for Democracy in The Americas wrote concerning John Bolton's April-2019 "Brigada Asalto 2506" pronouncements of uniquely cruel punishments for totally innocent children, women, and men on the island of Cuba: "U. S. National Security Adviser John Bolton, speaking against an overly political backdrop in the largest swing state in the U. S., announced new sanctions against Cuba. Frankly speaking, the measures are mean-spirited, and can only be understood as a means of creating economic hardship for the Cuban people...they will cause great pain to the Cuban people...create obstacles for companies around the world...and represent a significant step backwards."
          Of course, there is no sane, decent person in the entire world who can deny a single word, as shown above, written by the highly respected Emily Mendrala at the highly respected Center for Democracy in the Americas. Yet, EVERY sane, decent person in the entire world, I believe, CAN DENY every cruel word John Bolton, speaking for the United States of America, spoke in Florida in front of the Brigada Asalto 2506 banner. And YET, John Bolton's words, not Emily Mendrala's words, represent the United States of America. And that, I believe, says a lot more about America and the American people than it says about Cuba and the Cuban people. You see, like Emily Mendrala, I'm a democracy-loving American.
