A Cuban Policy FOR CRIMINALS

From 1952 TILL TODAY!
{Friday, April 8th, 2016}

        From the very top Mafia kingpin Lucky Luciano in 1952 till Silvio Clark Morales this Thursday -- April 6th of 2017 -- the United States policy regarding Cuba has been predicated largely in the best interest of civilian and political criminals. If you deny that, you conveniently perhaps have ignored Thursday's front pages of the Miami Herald and USA Today. The photo above is used courtesy of Univision and it was used Thursday to illustrate the major article in the Miami Herald. The article was written by Nora Gamez Torres and is entitled: "ALLEGED CUBAN SMUGGLER PLEADS GUILTY TO SEX TRAFFICKING." Don't read it if you want to keep your head in the sand about Miami's becoming a world-class criminal bastion since 1959 when it became the top destination for the leaders of Cuba's Batista-Mafia dictatorship after it was overthrown by the Cuban Revolution. But, for what it's worth, here are the exact opening words of the article:

                     "From high school teacher to pimp and human smuggler. This was the premise involving a Cuban resident in Miami accused of illegally bringing women from the island and forcing them into sex slavery in the United States. Silvio Clark Morales, 31, plead guilty in federal court Thursday to 7 of the 9 charges against him. Facing a maximum sentence of life in prison, Morales agreed to a plea deal and is now looking at a possible 30-year prison sentence. With his head down and tears streaming down his face, Morales..." 

          The school teacher, Morales, had no criminal record but, being a Cuban-American in Miami, he apparently realized he could easily and quickly become rich in a criminal enterprise AND FACE NO CONSEQUENCES. The criminal enterprise he chose was trafficking Cuban girls and women from the island to Miami because, after all, he seemed to realize that two generations of the richest and most powerful Cuban-Americans with ties back to the Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba ruled not only Miami but, after a nice alliance with the Bush dynasty, also the U. S. Congress and Washington when it related to Cuban issues. This week Mr. Morales discovered that, after all, there indeed were some consequences even in Miami, perhaps because one of the final Executive Orders outgoing President Barack Obama issued last December was to end, at least temporarily, the Batistiano-loving U. S. law known as Wet Foot-Dry Foot.

         After the air, land and sea Bay of Pigs military attack on Cuba in April of 1961 was famously defeated by Revolutionary Cuba, and after numerous CIA-Cuban exile attempts to kill Fidel Castro failed, powerful Cuban-Americans in Miami -- aligned with self-serving right-wing politicians -- discovered they could easily enact laws in the U. S. Congress to destroy Revolutionary Cuba and recapture the island. One such law, of course, was the 1962 Economic Embargo that, according to declassified U. S. documents, was designed to starve & deprive Cubans on the island for the purpose of inducing them to overthrow their government; it is an embargo that exists to this day because Cuban-American extremists continue to dictate Cuban laws in the U. S. Congress, laws that currently have a 191-to-0 condemnation in the United Nations but laws that two generations of unpatriotic Americans pusillanimously allow. Another such law, enacted in 1966, was the Cuban Adjustment Act that, like all the others, was designed to destroy Cuba but to also enrich and empower a handful of extremist Cuban-Americans who were mostly in Miami and mostly aligned with the Bush dynasty. Gradually after 1966 the Cuban Adjustment Act was revised with more and more insanely discriminatory anti-Cuban and pro-Cuban American laws, with the Wet Foot-Dry Foot colossal added in 1995.

       
        The infamous, discriminatory and undemocratic Wet Foot-Dry Foot law was designed to entice Cubans off the island to hurt Cuba and to help enrich and empower the most extremist Cuban-Americans in Miami. It allowed Cubans -- AND ONLY CUBANS -- to be home free the moment their front foot touched U. S. soil. The gross enticement called for special privileges only for Cubans such as instant legal residence, financial benefits and an easy path to citizenship. By then, the intimidated and propagandized American people were too afraid or simply too unpatriotic to care about how harmful such Cuban-only U. S. laws were to the image of America and democracy worldwide, such as demonstrated by the current 191-to-0 denunciation in the United Nations of America's Cuban policy. Of all the U. S. presidents since the 1950s, only President Obama had the sheer guts to challenge the Batistiano dictation of America's laws related to Cuba.

       On Dec. 12-2016 -- just days before his two-terms ended -- President Obama signed an Executive Order that ended Wet Foot-Dry Foot. By overturning the extremely discriminatory law, President Obama made it tougher on Cuban-American criminals in Miami AS REFLECTED by the aforementioned major article in Thursday's Miami Herald related to the human trafficker Silvio Clark Morales convicted of luring Cuban girls and women to Miami as "sex slaves." Sex traffickers, of course, loved Wet Foot-Dry Foot and it spawned more. Of course, even as Miami residents this week were devouring that article, the Miami Cuban-American members of the U. S. Congress -- Rubio, Diaz-Balart, Curbelo and Ros-Lehtinen -- were busy trying to get President Trump to issue Executive Orders of his own that would overturn Obama's sane and decent Executive Orders related to Cuba, and the pressuring of Trump remains an ongoing proposition.

It was used this week -- April 6th, 2017 -- to illustrate the TOP #1 article that blared across the FRONT PAGE of USA Today, America's largest newspaper. The article is entitled: "Greetings from Doral, Florida: The Cash Machine Fueling the Drug Trade." Doral is a suburb on the western edge of Miami. The article that started on the Front Page of Thursday's USA Today continued on to take up an entire full page, explaining in depth that the Miami area fuels the nationwide, devastating drug trade in the United States. It uses such bold sub-titles as: "And Not One Arrest." Of course not!! We're talking Miami here and, since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on Jan. 1-1959, Miami has been a wealthy and out-of-control Banana Republic on U. S. soil. Famed documentaries such as "Cocaine Cowboys" have documented that the extremely impressive Miami skyline was largely built with tons of drug money following the Cuban Revolution-fueled transition of South Florida. Numerous USA Today articles have labeled Miami as the "epicenter" for America's drug trade, illicit pill factories, the gross fleecing of billion-dollar tax supported entities such as Medicare, etc., etc. And then yesterday the aforementioned huge article that starts across the Front Page of USA Today merely updates the decades-old criminal activity centered around Miami that affects the entire nation. 

        Doral is a suburb on the edge of Miami, Florida. The top Front Page article in USA Today Thursday -- for what it's worth -- highlighted Doral as "THE CASH MACHINE FUELING THE DRUG TRADE." On the last page of that huge article was this glaring sub-headline: "AND NOT ONE ARREST." So I repeat: of course not.

      The Mayor of Doral on the edge of Miami is Juan Carlos Bermudez. He was asked by USA Today to comment on Thursday's scathing article about his city. His blocked-off reply was: "It's not good for Florida. It's not good for Doral. It's not representative of the majority of the businesses we have here." Wikipedia reveals that at the start of this 21st Century, Spanish was by far the first language in Doral -- by a 74.5 percent margin to 16.15 percent for English. I have no problem with that but I do have a problem with polls that show that most of South Florida's two million Cuban-Americans favor former President Obama's decent policies regarding Cuba but it seems that such moderates can't get elected to local or national offices despite being in a clear majority. Yet...Miami-Doral remains on U. S. soil; BUT SO, I GUESS, DOES GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA. Thus, I wonder if USA Today will ever have a Front Page article depicting what Miami-Doral and Guantanamo Bay have in common. Uh, just wondering...you understand.
