Punishing Foreign Children

In America's Name!!!
{Updated: Sunday, October 8th, 2017}

      Friday -- Oct. 6, 2017 -- CounterPunch.org had an article written by John Kirk and Stephen Kimber entitled: "Sonic Attacks in Cuba: Who Benefits?" Of course, the benefactors are the vicious counter-revolutionary Batistiano exiles who, since 1959, have viciously used the wealth and power of the U. S. government, and the convenient stupidity of the American people, in their unending attempts to recapture Cuba. The article points out sanely that the big loser in the "sonic attacks" mystery is Cuba. That's why the article sanely points out that Cuba has begged the U. S. FBI and Canada's Mounties to come to Cuba and, without any restrictions, investigate. Of course, the Miami-based Batistianos have a long, long history of trying to provoke Cuba into reactions that they can use to excoriate Cuba because the Batistianos dictate the Cuban narrative in the United States. So, the "sonic attacks" eerily resemble the deadly hotel bombings in Havana that the Batistianos in Miami bragged were designed to hurt Cuba's vital tourism industry. The first big reaction by the Trump administration, of course, was to warn people not to visit Cuba. And so, the "sonic attacks" against Americans and Canadians in Havana almost assuredly are designed to induce the Trump administration to brutally assault Cuba for the benefit and delight of the Miami Batistianos. Any American who doesn't understand that is either biased, afraid, or an idiot. And, as always before for over half-a-century, the Batistianos could care less who suffers the most from such cruelty and they well know that the innocent Cuban children on the island suffer the most. 

      The photo above and the next two were taken this week in Havana and are used courtesy of Luis Jorge Joa Perez. This little girl is loved and well taken care of in Revolutionary Cuba. But like all little girls on the island since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, this little girl is targeted and punished on a daily basis by a mere handful of revengeful but also rich and powerful Cuban-Americans hiding behind the skirts of the nearby world superpower. And this unending cruelty is being done in the name of America's democracy and America's cowardly citizens who have neither the guts nor the patriotism to react to the gross but unending injustice.

      Cubans on the island are trying to afford this little girl the opportunity to be whatever she wants to be, maybe a world-class musician some day. But a handful of revengeful and self-serving Cuban-Americans -- in October of 2017 -- still want to punish this little girl in the name of "hurting the Castros." Most Cuban-Americans, even in Miami, favor normal relations with Cuba, as do most Americans and all the nations of the world as indicated by the current 191-to-0 unanimity vote in the United Nations. Yet, in the eyes of the world, the U. S. democracy seems unable or unwilling to correct a situation that shames America and punishes little Cuban girls.

     This very precious little girl is well-educated and very smart, but she is too young to speak knowingly about superpower America's lingering imperialistic designs on a much weaker sovereign nation, namely her island of Cuba. But flaunting its powerful Naval Base on plush Cuban soil is one thing and punishing little Cuban girls is another thing altogether. The handful of revengeful, self-serving Cuban-Americans orchestrating this unconscionable cruelty are not the main culprits. The main culprits are the majority of cowardly Americans that let it happen...decade after decade!!!

      A great and decent American president, Barack Obama, is the only major U. S. leader since the 1950s with both the guts and patriotism to challenge Cuban-American hardliners on behalf of the U. S. democracy and millions of totally innocent Cubans. Obama spent a considerable portion of his two-terms and 8 years as President correcting as much of America's asinine, Batistiano-directed Cuban policies as he possibly could. As shown above, Obama -- in his final State of the Union Address -- pleaded for cowardly Americans to "Recognize that the Cold War is over. End the embargo." But the lapdog, Batistiano-directed U. S. Congress holds too many of the aces that prevent even the greatness and kindness of Obama from defending the sanctity of U. S. democracy and the sanctity of little girls on the island of Cuba.

     Cubans on the island today have fond memories of what President Obama did for them...and what he tried to do. And a strong majority of Cubans in Miami, like Obama, support everyday Cubans on the island. But that is exactly where the problem lies. Even though most Cubans in Miami favor Obama's decent Cuban policies, only revengeful and self-serving Cuban hardliners in Miami can get elected to the U. S. Congress where they reign supreme with venom that doesn't hurt "the Castros" but surely hurts precious little Cuban girls on the island. Therefore, in my opinion, Miami's undemocratic problems drastically hurt both America and....little girls.

      In 1898 the U. S. quenched its thirst to take control of Cuba by declaring war against over-extended Spain. The U. S. then had a chance to make Cuba a democracy but greed from 1898 till today -- October-2017 -- has dictated America's Cuban policies. Of course, the two most egregious assaults on the U. S. democracy occurred in 1952 when the U. S. sicced the Mafia on Cuba and in 1959 when the overthrown Batista-Mafia dictatorship was allowed to resettle on American soil.

       An American democracy in 2017 that allows only the most revengeful and hardest hardliners from Little Havana in Miami to dictate America's Cuban policy is not the American democracy that the great Founding Fathers envisioned in 1776.

   Punishing this little Cuban girl while lying to the American people that it is necessary because of the need to punish "the Castros" shames us all and makes Americans look like blatant cowards for permitting it to happen...decade after decade.

Little Cuban girls are precious too.

And by the way:

     Friday afternoon -- October 6th, 2017 -- President Trump at the White House hosted an Hispanic Heritage event and took the opportunity to excoriate Cuba and vowed to strengthen the "sanctions" against the island. In other words, the latest gutless promise intends to further hurt precious and totally innocent children in Cuba in the cowardly and stupid guise of "hurting the Castros," which means FINALLY recapturing the island. Of course, the Friday event, like Trump's gutless speech in Miami on April 16th, was before only 200 hard-line Hispanics to ignore the fact that the majority of Hispanics disagree with resorting to lies to punish little girls.

       But Trump represents U. S. politics today...as the President and Commander-in-Chief of the world's economic and military superpower. Regarding Cuba...democracy bedamned. Selling out to a mere handful of Cuban-American extremists is the order of the day, and that includes such gutless promises as depicted by the quotation above. When the leader of the world's most powerful nation, one long respected as the greatest democracy on the planet, can hold a news conference like Trump held Friday afternoon -- Oct. 6, 2017 -- not only is Cuba and the U. S. democracy being assaulted, so is the rest of the sane world that once depended on America for guidance.
