Lucrative But Anti-American!!

{Tuesday, June 20th, 2017}
To appease a handful of Miami-based extremists from the vile Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba, overthrown on the first day of January in 1959, everyday Americans for decades have been the only people in the world without the freedom to visit Cuba. That, of course, is designed for counter-revolutionary extremists in the U. S. to dictate the Cuban narrative and thus America's Cuban policies to suit their self-serving goals, which include getting economically and politically powerful as well as, thirdly, regaining control of Cuba. In that prism, Americans are not supposed to comprehend the image above. It was taken from Cuban state television last Friday, June 16th. The Cuban government aired U. S. President Donald Trump's entire speech delivered before the choir in Miami's Little Havana stronghold. As expected, the speech was replete with lies and hypocrisy with Trump assuming that whatever he said or whatever he does regarding Cuba, even with nukes, would be fine with the American people who, cowardly and unpatriotically, have allowed the Batistiano dictation of America's Cuban policy to shame America with a current 191-to-0 condemnation in the United Nations for its Cuban policy. Americans, meanwhile, are not supposed to be ashamed or embarrassed by the unanimity of that international consensus; instead, they are supposed to react with cowardice and with a lack of patriotism to whatever is said or done regarding Cuba, and that includes cowardly Americans not even reacting to such things as the terrorist bombing of a child-laden Cuban civilian airplane in which the well-known terrorists easily found sanctuary in Miami, as well as Americans not reacting to the car-bombing of the Cuban-American newsman in Miami who did have the guts to complain about such things. And that backdrop takes us to President Trump's Miami speech.
This photo shows President Trump ranting in Miami's Little Havana on June 16th as he shamefully heralded his roll-back of many of former President Obama's decent and sane overtures to 11.3 million very decent and very innocent Cubans on the nearby island. To comprehend this photo, you need to note the man on the far left that is right behind Trump. That's U. S. Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart from the Little Havana stronghold. Americans are not supposed to consider that Mario's father Rafael was a key Minister in the Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba and then, beginning in 1959, was one of the very richest, most visceral, and most determined counter-revolutionaries in Miami's Little Havana region. To make such a connection in 2017, of course, would mean that Americans MIGHT question the basic fact that, since 1959, America's Cuban policy has been a reflection in both Miami and Washington of precisely what the Batista-Mafia dictatorship was in Cuba from 1952 till 1959. However, like so many self-serving or coerced U. S. politicians before him, President Trump assumes that propagandized or intimidated Americans are too quiescent, too stupid or too afraid to object to whatever he rules about Cuba, including its RE-capture.
At the conclusion of his grossly anti-Cuban and anti-American speech in Miami on June 16th, this photo shows President Trump sanctimoniously waving to the choir in Miami's Little Havana stronghold.
To properly judge President Trump's June 16-2017 speech in Little Havana, I believe Americans should understand the meaning of the above image. A Cuban is holding up a "I love Cuba" sign while far above and high in the sky off to the right a buzzard, obviously or at least metaphorically an American buzzard, looms ominously over the island as they have since the 1950s. Right after the Trump speech in Little Havana on June 16th, this image was posted on Facebook by a young Cuban woman who disagreed with every word Trump spoke...and her opinion counts as much in Cuba as Trump's opinion does in the U. S.
The young Cuban woman who felt compelled to post that "I love Cuba" image on Facebook within seconds after President Trump's Little Havana speech was Rosy Amaro Perez. A superb broadcast journalist on Cuban state televison, Rosy is very healthy, very smart, very well-educated, happily married and the mother of a gorgeous little girl. And, oh yes, she passionately loves Revolutionary Cuba and the very last thing she wants for her Cuba is a return of the Batistianos. And, on the island, she's not alone.
Not only did Rosy Amaro Perez feel obligated to quickly post her "I love Cuba" message on Facebook immediately after Trump's Little Havana speech, she also tagged it with this plaintive comment: "The Cuba that Trump described in Miami is not the Cuba I know, and I've lived here all my life." Trump, taking full advantage of the biased and hypocritical Cuban narrative in the U. S., depicted Cuba as the worst hellhole in the region or even the world, a nation totally controlled by a band of thieves and killers. To Rosy, Trump's extravagantly hyperbolic rants while preaching to the Miami choir was not depicting Revolutionary Cuba, where she has lived all her life, but instead was much more aptly describing the Batista-Mafia dictatorship that brutalized Cuba from 1952 till 1959 prior to the Revolution. "The Cuba that Trump described in Miami is not the Cuba I know, and I've lived here all my life." Right after Rosy expressed that view on Facebook, she got a very quick reply from another important young Cuban who asked, "May I quote you?" Rosy then replied that, yes, she could be quoted. That exchange is one Americans should know.
The young Cuban who asked Rosy Amaro Perez if she could "quote her," was Cristina Escobar. As recognized in Cuba and the region, Cristina is a totally brilliant broadcast journalist -- in both English and Spanish. On visits to Washington, two universities in Alabama, a journalism seminar in California, and in video interviews posted on YouTube and the Pulitzer Center website, etc., Cristina has herself made extremely pertinent quotes, such as: "Cuba's fate is up to Cubans on the island, not Cubans in Miami and Washington;" and "We journalists in Cuba have more freedom to tell the truth about Cuba than U. S. journalists have to tell the truth about Cuba." While Americans are programmed not to consider what Cristina Escobar says or thinks, that 191-to-ZERO vote in the UN indicates clearly that the rest of the world does understand her viewpoints. In fact, THE VAST MAJORITY OF CUBAN-AMERICANS IN MIAMI, FLORDA -- according to ALL polls -- strongly support Obama's decent and pro-American Cuban policy as opposed to Trump's indecent and anti-American Cuban policy. Yet, the only Cuban-Americans in Miami that seem eligible to be elected to the U. S. Congress are self-serving counter-revolutionary zealots. AND THAT FACT IS MORE OF A PROBLEM FOR AMERICA THAN IT IS FOR REVOLUTIONARY CUBA and Cristina Escobar.
And for those reasons, Americans should have the courage and the patriotism to at least consider what two young and important Cubans -- Rosy Amaro Perez and Cristina Escobar -- had to say about President Trump's self-serving and hypocritical speech in Miami's Little Havana stronghold on June 16, 2017.
And by the way:
At the above news conference in Vienna, Austria Monday, June 19th, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez reacted furiously to U. S. President Trump's June 16th speech in Miami. With his left index finger gesturing strongly, he asked, "What can they threaten us with now that they haven't already done?" The irate Cuban also told the international press, "It will not be a Presidential directive of the United States that can twist the sovereign course of Cuba. As the world knows, we negotiated in good faith with the Obama presidency but we will not negotiate under pressure from Trump."
And, by the way #2, a knowledgeable Cuban on the island is now saying that the highly respected Bruno Rodriguez's profile as the successor to the 86-year-old Cuban President Raul Castro next February is "growing by the day."
Cuba's Bruno Rodriguez.
