Miami Says "Let's Invade Cuba"

Mayors Talk, Then Laugh!
        The photo above is courtesy of Emily Michot/Miami Herald and it shows three South Florida mayors at a Miami-Dade business conference on Friday, March 10th, 2017. The mayors, left to right, are: Philip Levine of Miami Beach; J. C. Bermudez of Doral; and Jim Cason of Coral Gables. When this photo was taken, Levine had just made this statement: "Why aren't we discussing the invasion of Cuba." All three clowns laughed aloud; the audience was momentarily stunned; and Levine later claimed he was being "facetious." The Miami Herald headline related to the meeting was: "INVADE CUBA? ONLY IN SOUTH FLORIDA WOULD THAT COME UP IN A BUSINESS ETHICS MEETING." At least the Miami headline had some sanity attached to it because "only in South Florida" is such an insane and continuous lack of ethics commonplace from the often buffoonish counter-revolutionary benefactors who rule South Florida like a Banana Republic as they, decade after decade, hide behind the skirts of the United States government to grow rich and powerful while gleefully assaulting totally innocent Cubans on the island.
      Now 55-years-old, the man who proposed invading Cuba, Philip Levine, was elected Mayor of Miami Beach in 2013 and re-elected in 2015. Indications are that he will not seek another re-election because he is aiming to become Governor of Florida and then, maybe, President of the United States. If he makes his Governorship and Presidential dreams come true, Floridians and Americans will deserve it because of their acute lack of guts and patriotism that is so sorely needed to reign in South Florida's Banana Republic. Levine made most of his South Florida fortune in the cruise-ship business. While his comment about invading Cuba goes over big with the power elite in Florida, moderate and pro-Cuban Cuban-Americans, who constitute the majority, appear to be ineligible for election to public offices because of a veritable Banana Republic in the United States that remains conspicuously and ubiquitously on American soil.
      This Miami New Times photo shows the three South Florida mayors Levine-Bermudez-Cason at that business meeting, which reinforced South Florida's status as a Banana Republic, and not a very nice one.
       In his successful mayoral campaigns in Miami Beach, Philip Levine has stressed his "Mojo." I wonder, Mayor, if you have enough "Mojo" to back up your talk about invading Cuba by volunteering to devise and lead the attack?? Actually, sir, it wouldn't take much "Mojo" because Cuba is a poor island and you'd have the support of the power-elite in South Florida. Moreover, you'd be backed-up with Republicans now in control of the White House/Commander-in-Chief, both chambers of the U. S. Congress, and the CIA. So, your 2017 invasion of Cuba might succeed even if the April-1961 South Florida-propelled air, land and sea invasion of Cuba, known as the Bay of Pigs, only succeeded in boosting the regional and international statuses and legacies of both Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution. But now an invasion leader with your "Mojo" and unmitigated intelligence, and with Fidel Castro's recent death at age 90, Mayor Levine knows Cuba might be ripe for another invasion. And guess what? The rest of the world would again gasp.
     AND that returns us to Friday's business meeting where 3 South Florida mayors were laughing hilariously over the proposal to invade Cuba, apparently to take advantage of a Batistiano-soiled U. S. Congress that in the post-Obama era coincides with a Republican Commander-in-Chief in the White House.
    Meanwhile...for what it's worth...it might be appropriate to remind pusillanimous Americans that every Cuban child on the island since 1962 has been severely punished by a gutless economic embargo-blockade imposed on them on behalf of uncaring Americans. According to de-classified U. S. documents, the embargo-blockade was imposed in 1962 for the express purpose of starving and depriving Cubans on the island for the purpose of causing them to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government that had in 1959 overthrown the extremely brutal U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship. The rest of the world...as indicated by the current 191-to-0 vote in the United Nations...believes that little Cuban girls on the island like the one shown above SHOULD NOT BE STARVED AND DEPRIVED TO WHET THE REVENGE AND ECONOMIC APPETITES OF A HANDFUL OF MISCREANTS IN MIAMI AND IN THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS
Of course, Americans are not supposed to care about such things.
But the little Cuban girl above is not America's enemy.
