Cuba Could Cut U.S. Ties

And Here's Why:
{Sunday, September 17th, 2016}

     An important American, David Beasley, is touring hurricane-ravaged Cuba. The 60-year-old Beasley is a lawyer and Republican politician; he was the Governor of South Carolina from 1995 to 1999. He is now the Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme. Mr. Beasley has earmarked $5.7 million to help Cubans.

     This Reuters photo shows the UN's David Beasley this weekend on his trip to survey Hurricane Irma's devastation of Cuba. He said, "Over 60,000 hectares of prime agricultural land has been dramatically affected in Cuba. The UN is providing $5.7 million of initial help for Cubans most in need of food and shelter. Because of global warming, Hurricane Irma could be a sign of more to come in the near future."

      The photo above was used to illustrate a major article this weekend in America's largest newspaper -- The USA Today. The huge headline is: "U.S. Rushes Hurricane Irma Aid to Caribbean Islands, But Not to Cuba." The article pointed out that Irma was "the strongest storm to hit Cuba in more than 80 years" and that millions of Cubans are without shelter and safe "agua," the Spanish word for water. The Cubans shown above, getting at least a little safe water, are among the lucky ones. Despite the desperate straits on the island caused by Hurricane Irma, The USA Today article states: "Yet the U. S. has not sent a USAID rapid response team to Cuba, nor dispatched any U. S. military ship loaded with boiled water and blankets, as it has to other devastated Caribbean neighbors." In fact, the U. S. embargo against Cuba prevents the island from securing "devastation recovery loans" from international banking institutions that can serve, in varying degrees, all other nations except Cuba. And the U. S. embargo, established way back in 1962 by the most revengeful Cuban exiles from the overthrown Batista-Mafia regime, also prevents Cuba from purchasing needed supplies and rebuilding materials from nations and companies scared away by the embargo. American people who sit on their cowardly rear ends and continue to let a handful of revengeful and vile Cuban-Americans punish millions of decent Cubans on the island are as guilty as the nefarious Cuban-Americans who orchestrate such inhumane cruelty in the name of the United States of America.

    The supposedly benevolent USAID Agency is a U. S. government entity that uses tons of tax dollars to "help" needy foreign nations. Note the handshake emblem and the "Aid from the American People" pretense. As far as Cuba is concerned, such dollars go only to dissident Counter Revolutionary types, one reason that Cuba long ago would probably have been better off cutting off all ties with the United States. As noted above, this weekend's USA Today article pointed out how USAID showers money on "devastated Caribbean neighbors, EXCEPT CUBA." Fine, except for the fact that Cuba is tired of USAID money flowing to Counter Revolutionaries but never to decent, desperate Cubans such as those now trying to survive Hurricane Irma.

      This weekend five gutless U. S. Senators led by the ultra-gutless Marco Rubio sent a gutless letter to U. S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson DEMANDING the United States shut down the Obama-orchestrated U. S. embassy in Havana {above} and the Obama-orchestrated Cuban embassy in Washington. The other four gutless Senators signing that letter were: Tom Cotton, Richard Burr, John Cornyn, and James Lankford. If they succeed in pressuring Secretary Tillerson, it might be good for Cuba, which could then concentrate more fully on dealing with friendly nations.

   Meanwhile, Americans who allow a Marco "For Sale" Rubio to dictate America's cruel Batistiano treatment of innocent Cubans deserve presidential wannabe Marco "For Sale" Rubio to be dictating to them as President of the United States. But eleven million decent and innocent Cubans on the island do not deserve Marco "For Sale" Rubio dictating to them. By currently having Obama-orchestrated diplomatic relations with the United States, Cuba makes Marco "For Sale" Rubio's cruel counter-revolutionary schemes that much easier to craft and to make "legal." Thus, Cuba would probably be better served trying to go in totally opposite directions. After all, the rest of the world -- according to the current 191-to-0 vote in the UN -- loudly and unanimously disapproves of America's Batistiano-directed Cuban policies. If a Marco "For Sale" Rubio, hiding behind the skirts of the world's superpower, can direct America's hate-filled Cuban policy, Cuba's diplomatic ties to the U. S. are surely much more harmful than helpful to everyday Cubans.

And speaking of hurricanes:

      Cuba's Rosa Miriam Elizalde has released the very interesting photo-painting depicted above. Her friend Rebecca rescued it from the ravages of Hurricane Irma. It shows the narrow escape from Hurricane Flora in September-1963 of three Revolutionary icons -- Juan Almeida, sitting in the center of the tiny boat; Fidel Castro, balancing himself with his hands on Almeida's shoulders; and Celia Sanchez, in the back of the boat. Hurricane Flora first slammed into Cuba near Guantanamo Bay in September of 1963, four years after the triumph of the Revolution. Indications are that two dedicated Cubans with the tiny boat rescued Fidel, Celia, and Juan.

      Rosa Miriam Elizalde is an expert on Cuba's Revolution. Also, as the above photo indicates, she is a disciple of the Revolution's greatest heroine, Celia Sanchez.
