Cuba Will Fight On

Looking Past Trump's USA!
{UPDATED: Saturday, June 24th, 2017}

       This is journalist-screenwriter Max Brooks. I believe he has every reason to clap for himself. That's because he penned what I and others consider this week's best, smartest and bravest article when he updated the transition of America's Cuban policy from the courageous Obama to the lecherous Trump.

       The ethereally sane article by Max Brooks is entitled: "HANDING CUBA BACK TO RUSSIA IS THE WRONG MOVE FOR THE U. S." That simplistic title standing alone is actually analogous to sanely updating President Trump's lecherous roll-back of President Obama's decent overtures to Cuba. But here are the first two sentences of the Max Brooks' analysis that even unpatriotic Americans should read and heed:

                 "In Miami, to the cheers of hardliners, President Trump announced a reversal of the Obama administration's 'terrible and misguided deal' with Cuba. With a swipe of a pen, decades old trade and travel restrictions were reinstalled, destroying hopes for normalized relations with Cuba in the near future."

       This Getty Images photo of a street scene in Havana was used to illustrate the June 21st article by Max Brooks. As opposed to the daily avalanche of Batistiano-directed propaganda from Miami and from the U. S. Congress {and now the White House}, the Brooks' update reveals the utter stupidity and cowardice of the American people for sitting back on their unpatriotic asses and allowing self-serving Republican presidents like Trump to feed the island of Cuba to a handful of insatiable right-wing miscreants in Miami's Little Havana and in the Batistiano-infested United States Congress. If that sounds somewhat harsh...well, America's vile Cuban policy, condemned internationally by a 191-to-0 vote in the UN, is much harsher.

          The Joe Raedle/Getty Images photo above shows President Trump in Miami's Little Havana on June 16th doing what other gutless U. S. Republican Presidents have done for five decades -- feeding Cuba to a handful of revengeful and greedy Cuban-Americans in defiance of everyone else, including MOST Cuban-Americans in Miami. The Washington Post on June 22nd pointed out that, "The small business owners in Cuba -- and U. S. businesses -- will suffer the most. And the Cuban state will become even stronger in resistance. Trump is making good on a promise to a small but economically and politically powerful group of anti-Castro Cuban-Americans concentrated in Florida. The Cuba state considers itself a model for other small nations fighting the war against imperialism, firmly and proudly holding its ground in the David vs. Goliath battle over its sovereign future. It is not likely to capitulate now." In other words, the vast and extremely lucrative Castro Cottage Industry with tentacles reaching from Little Havana in Miami to Washington continues to spawn huge pipelines of cash and laws beneficial to only a handful of undeserving souls.  

       The above Daily Beast photo-graphic reflects how the non-Batistiano world...the WHOLE WIDE WORLD outside Little Havana and the Republican-controlled politics in Washington...views Trump's latest gutless assaults on Cuba. Journalist David Whitford's column this week was entitled: "TRUMP'S CUBA MOVES ARE AN EPIC DISASTER FOR ENTREPRENEURS, including the decent entrepreneurs in Cuba and in Miami.

         Cuba and the United States, neighboring nations that could be so beneficial to each other, will accept the Obama-to-Trump transition in Washington and revert back to the Cold War darkness that marred recent decades, threatening decent lives of Americans and Cubans. A vivid reminder of how effective one-sided propaganda {tinged with the necessary doses of intimidation} fuels such a disaster EVEN IN THE WORLD'S STRONGEST DEMOCRACY is this salient fact: The vast majority of Americans are not even ashamed that the current vote in the UN condemning America's Cuban policy is 191-to-0. Trump's roll-back of Obama's sane and positive Cuban advancements depended on the tested-and-proven belief that this generation of Americans is simply too unpatriotic and too afraid to intervene, and the disastrous effects will continue to befall the vast majority of Americans and Cubans.
