Cuba In The Age of Trump

As Genocide Replaces Cruelty!!
      Since overthrowing the brutal, thieving, U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship on January 1, 1959, the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island, for its sake, has hoped that it would have normal relations with its superpower and nearby neighbor, the United States. It still does has that hope in this first month of 2020, as a powerful Cuban leader Lina Pedraza Rodriguez clearly states above. Yet, because two generations of the rich and powerful Batistiano leaders from January of 1959 till January of 2020 have maintained an unchecked new capital of Little Havana on U. S. soil in the heart of Miami, Revolutionary Cuba has had to survive...history's all-time longest and cruelest economic blockade/embargo ever imposed by a strong nation against a much-weaker nation; an air-sea-and-air military attack known as the Bay of Pigs; well known and continuous unchecked terrorist attacks including the bombing of Cubana Flight 455 that included all on aboard, including two dozen Cuban teenage athletes; the Trump administration's 2019 activation of Title 3 of Helms-Burton that is designed to make rich Batistianos even richer while also targeting everyday Cubans on the island with genocide, just so Trump's 2020 re-election campaign will gain Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes; etc., etc. Not only does Lina Pedraza Rodriguez, who experiences such facts from Cuba's perspective, know all about such things, but do decent and brave Cuban experts and observers in the United States. Yet, neither the intimidated U. S. media nor the Batistiano-aligned U. S. government has the decency nor the courage to reign-in the Little Havana extremists who are raping and robbing America even more than the U.S.-aligned Batista-Mafia dictatorship rape and robbed Cuba in the 1950's.
     Just back from Cuba to observe how the Trump-sanctioned genocide against everyday Cubans is impacting the island, John McAuliff and two other U. S. professors who are also renowned Cuban experts have penned an article about what they have just detected on the Caribbean's largest island. The U. S. government hopes, as always, that Americans don't go Online to read and study the article that John McAuliff and the two other professors wrote about their latest trip to Cuba. John McAuliff, on his Facebook page and elsewhere, has stated that the extreme cruelty he is now observing on the island against totally innocent Cubans is directly due to President Trump turning over the U.S.'s Cuban policy ONLY to extremely self-serving and lifelong Counter Revolutionary zealots such as..."Claver-Carone," as John McAuliff so correctly states.
     From Miami to Washington, Mauricio Claver-Carone has spent his adult life vehemently and lucratively trying to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. Now President Trump believes his 2020 re-election absolutely needs Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes, Claver-Carone since August of 2018 has been in charge of the U. S. State Department's powerful Western Hemisphere Affairs division. Cuba, of course, is in the Western Hemisphere, and not only Cuba but all of Cuba's top allies in the Western Hemisphere -- Bolivia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, etc., etc. -- are now feeling the extreme wrath of America's incomparable economic and military power, thanks to unchecked decisions made daily by Claver-Carone.
    Most Americans have never heard of Mauricio Claver-Carone and, of course, he has never held an elected position. And, of course, most Americans are not supposed to be aware that, on their behalf, that Claver-Carone now is making daily Western Hemisphere decisions to whet his long-standing very extremist views against Cuba and everyday Cubans.
      Shown here in the red tie, Mauricio Claver-Carone has long been one of Washington's most powerful lobbyists while gratuitously soliciting money and congressional support for his torrid anti-Cuban views. During the eight years that the decent President Barack Obama was trying so hard to normalize U.S.-Cuban relations for the benefit of most Cubans, most Cuban-Americans, and most Americans, Claver-Carone was out of the spotlight but still raising massive anti-Cuban dollars while using all means...such as the airways, the Internet, interviews, speeches, etc...propagandizing against Revolutionary Cuba while implying that the brutal-thieving U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship  that preceded it provided a sweet Mother Teresa-like treatment for everyday Cubans on the island and for rich U. S. businessmen.
     Empowered by the Little Havana-aligned Bush dynasty, extreme Counter Revolutionary zealots such as Mauricio Claver-Carone, Otto Reich, Roger Noriega, etc. have thrived openly without restrictions in all Republican administrations in Washington. But like Claver-Carone they also prosper during Democratic administrations such as Obama's by being propped up by congressional Republicans and by many of Washington's well-funded right-wing "Foundations" or "Think Tanks" as well as extreme and well-funded right-wing media sources such as Breitbart, Townhall, etc., etc. In that milieu, the likes of Claver-Carone, Reich, Noriega, etc. await Republican presidents to take over the White House. With Trump turning out to be their greatest jewel -- even  more tasty than during the one Bush CIA directorship, the two Bush Vice Presidencies, and the three Bush presidencies -- has been the current Trump presidency. Not even President George W. Bush was so cruel as too activate Title 3 of the infamous Batistiano-written Helms-Burton Act but President Trump in 2019 activated Title 3 and that has enabled the U. S. economic embargo/blockade of Cuba, in place since 1962, to be expanded to genocide against the Cuban people while also, of course, creating vast new pipelines of tax dollars flowing and gushing from Washington to Miami. With the unchecked Claver-Carone as America's Western Hemisphere Affairs dictator, the genocide against Cubans on the island and the increased money for selected Cubans in Miami has evolved into the stratosphere -- even as the mainstream U. S. media and even as the majority of propagandized and scared Americans are supposed not to care.
     While Helms-Burton TITLE III is a Godsend for the likes of Claver-Carone, Reich, Noriega, Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers and their ilk, its genocide aimed at everyday Cubans on the island from U. S. soil is apparent to decent Americans such as John McAuliff who just reported on his personal latest observations on what Title III is doing to everyday Cubans. Of course, in America's Batistiano-weakened Democracy Americans are not supposed to know what decent, well-informed experts like John McAuliff say about U.S.-Cuban relations.
            A genocidal blockade against innocent everyday Cubans on the island, greatly exacerbated by the recent activation of Title 3/Helms-Burton to appease a handful of Little Havana miscreants, is a gigantic lie rammed down the throats of Americans as supposedly targeting "a few mean elitist Cubans" is well-known by those who visit the island as really targeting everyday totally innocent Cubans...including children and the elderly. When the world's strongest nation allows extremely biased zealots such as Claver-Carone to dictate genocidal measures against innocent people in a much weaker nation, the tenets of Democracy become unhinged. If drastic sanctions and embargoes are indeed necessary, they at least should be made and carried out by unbiased, decent people.
     A Superpower country trying powerfully to deprive and starve innocent children and elderly women {such as the two above} is being conducted today by the United States against Cubans because this generation of Americans lacks the guts to intervene to stop something that shames both America and Democracy. Former U. S. President Barack Obama AND THE WHOLE WORLD WITH STARTLING UNANIMITY expressed that EXACT OPINION with a 191-to-0 vote at the United Nations.
      But in January of 2017 Donald Trump replaced Barack Obama as President of the United States. Obama had tried bravely and decently to normalize relations with Cuba; Trump has cowardly, self-servingly, and indecently permitted Counter Revolutionary Cubans to impose genocide against innocent Cubans on the island...as a payoff for what Trump believes will provide him Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes needed to re-elect him in November of 2020.
     In my opinion, America's powerful mainstream left-wing media that doesn't have the courage or integrity to ask people like Mauricio Claver-Carone about genocide against innocent Cubans is even more of a threat to America and Democracy than Russia, China, Iran, North Korea AND Donald Trump will ever be.
