To Please Miami's Cubans!!
Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel, like most Cubans now that the digital age/search engine-era has reached the island, is very active on social media, including Twitter that he has used to stay in touch with his people. But Twitter, which allows bitter anti-Cuban propagandists uncontested forums, has now blocked not only Diaz-Canel's Twitter account but also the accounts of important Cuban journalists, even meteorologists who keep the hurricane-prone islanders informed about weather conditions. That appears to be a scared Twitter caving in to a handful of Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami and in the U. S. Congress. Diaz-Canel, the island's former very popular Education Minister, as shown above, repeatedly uses Cuban radio and television to explain his decisions to viewers on top-rated programs such as Round Table which is aired nightly on state television. Diaz-Canel also has instructed his Ministers to appear regularly on radio and television newscasts to "let the people know what, if anything, you are doing to address their needs." He has told his Ministers not to ever mislead the people even on "tough subjects because our people are smart, well-educated and they know what is happening, good or bad, on this close-knit island."
Typically, for one hour and 30 minutes Thursday, as shown above, President Diaz-Canel spent 90 minutes, along with four of his Ministers, telling the Cuban people how they are dealing with such things as the uniquely hard new sanctions from Trump's Washington and he also discussed the blockage of top officials and even Cuban journalists by Twitter. Both off-the-cuff and while referencing new written updates, in several 15-minute portions of this program Diaz-Canel outlined his plans to deal with the Trump-Miami sanctions, adding, "We are not in a Special Period like the early 1990s. We will survive. We will survive another Republican White House that is letting a few unchecked Miami benefactors run roughshod over Cuban families on the island and almost a million decent Cubans in South Florida." As for him and Cuban journalists now being blocked by Twitter, he said just prior to this program, "We all know that even Democrats in Washington and powerful U. S. corporations as well as the main U. S. news media are afraid of a few Miami Cubans, just like Cubans were afraid of U.S.-backed Mafia leaders who ruled the island. That fear no accounts for Trump being able to activate Title 3 of Helms-Burton although even Republicans consider it genocidal. And that's why U. S. giants like Twitter feels it must do whatever Rubio, Menendez, and the Diaz-Balarts tell them to do."
This Getty Images photo shows a Cuban using a Smart Phone to read a Twitter message from President Diaz-Canel. Almost all Cubans now have access to the Internet and, being familiar with search engines and staying in touch with many Cuban relatives and friends in the U. S, they are knowledgeable about what is going on in Cuba, in Miami, and in Washington. That probably appears to be why Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami and Washington want to preserve their control of the Cuban narrative in the U. S. by forcing Americans to believe what they say -- not what smart, well-informed, and well-educated Cubans on the island think or believe.
The London-based Reuters news agency covers Cuba like a blanket with four excellent, fair-minded journalists. Considering that Twitter bowed to Miami extremists when it blocked the accounts of Cuban journalists, Reuters quoted Cuba's most famed dissident journalist Yoani Sanchez as mocking the blocked Cuban journalists with these exact words: "Official Cuban journalists chided officials for complaining of censorship when they indulge in it at other times." Well, the most respected journalists in Cuba are unanimous in one thing, which is: Yoani Sanchez operates a well-financed/anti-Cuban digital magazine, 14YMedia, from the island ONLY AFTER she flew to Miami and Washington.
It seems that, when she flew back to Cuba from the U. S., Yoani Sanchez was loaded with plenty of U. S. tax dollars to hire a big staff to work her anti-Cuban digital magazine.
Of course, every Cuban dissident -- such as Yoani Sanchez as shown above -- seeks to become friends with fierce anti-Cuban Cuban-Americans like U. S. Senators Marco Rubio and Bob Menendez. After that nice session above...uh, it seems securing U. S. tax dollars to defame Cuba is no problem.
Of course, if you're a Cuban dissident on a visit to the U. S. like Yoani Sanchez you end up at Miami's infamous Radio-TV Marti. Since the 1980's it has raked-in startling amounts of tax dollars every day EVEN THOUGH every journalist and every politician in Washington well knows it is nothing but a laughable anti-Cuban propaganda machine run by a handful of selected and highly paid non-professionals. The current head of Radio-TV Marti is Marco Rubio's former mentor and former Miami mayor Tomas Regalado. Even the Miami media is embarrassed about that, and about such things as a Cuban-American poet getting a million very easy tax dollars for, it seems, merely writing a few anti-Cuban poems for the infamous but lushly funded, by tax dollars, Radio-TV Marti.
And, of course, if and when Cuban dissidents on the island, like Yoani Sanchez, run out of tax dollars, it is assumed they know the phone numbers of the unchecked...some brave souls say unscrupulous...Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans in Miami and in the U. S. Congress.
And, meanwhile, Cubans on the island now accustomed to using their Smart Phones to check the Twitter updates from their President Miguel Diaz-Canel are now unable to do that. Apparently afraid of Cuban-American extremists, Twitter has blocked Diaz-Canel's account and the accounts of some truly outstanding Cuban journalists. Of course, the intimidated mainstream U. S. media and the long-propagandized U. S. citizens won't even comment on this insult to Democracy.
