How Dangerous is Rubio?

Even Top Miami Experts Wonder!!
{Friday, April 27th, 2018}

      If you Google-search How Dangerous Is Rubio, the first page that comes up will include this Cubaninsider update but also the following articles:

                "Why Marco Rubio Is So Effective and Dangerous" by the Washington Post.

                 "Marco Rubio's Dangerous Misreading of History" by CNBC.

                  

                 "Rubio, Cruz Scarier Than Trump" by The Atlantic.

                 "Marco Rubio Is Now The Most Dangerous..." by The New Republic.

                  "Why I'm More Worried About Marco Rubio Than Donald Trump" by Vox.

       Those titles are just some on the first page of your Google-search about How Dangerous Is Rubio? And I haven't even mentioned the image above that illustrates a major article by respected journalist Ken Silverstein who concluded that Rubio is "head and shoulders above others in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery." AND YES, AMERICA, THIS IS THE MARCO RUBIO THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS PUT IN CHARGE OF AMERICA'S POST-OBAMA CUBAN POLICY!! And, of course, Americans are supposed to be stupid enough and unpatriotic enough to ignore this insult to the United States and to democracy.

     One of America's greatest investigative journalists, Ken Silverstein's definitive, almost-book-length bio of Marco Rubio has never been sued nor, to my knowledge, has it ever been challenged. In fact, the top {#1} Cuban-American journalist and Editorial Writer in Miami who knows Rubio best seems to agree with Ken Silverstein.

    If there is anybody on this planet who knows how dangerous U. S. Senator Marco Rubio of Miami is, that would probably be Fabiola Santiago. She was born in Matanzas, Cuba, in the spring of 1959 three months after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution had chased the leaders of the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship to U. S. soil, mostly Miami. According to her biography on his own Website, Fabiola spent the summers of her first ten years "digging her feet into the softest sands in the world and frolicking in the bluest beach, Varadero." Then in 1969 her parents took her to Miami. By 1980 Fabiola was a fast-ascending journalist with the Miami Herald. She is now an acclaimed author, the mother of three successful daughters, and a top Editorial Writer for the Miami Herald, Marco Rubio's hometown newspaper. Fiercely critical of Revolutionary Cuba over the years, it seems that Fabiola now has reached the insightful conclusion that Marco Rubio, newly positioned by President Trump as essentially America's new Cuban dictator, is the dire threat not only to Cuba but also to America. Unfortunately, most of the rest of the mainstream U. S. media is not nearly as courageous or as astute regarding Rubio as Fabiola is. And that's why her article is both topical and important in April of 2018.

    Therefore, I believe it is important for Americans to dial up and read Fabiola Santiago's latest Editorial in the Miami Herald entitled: "President Trump Should Engage Cuba's New President, Not Leave Policy to Marco Rubio." The article, from the hometown journalist in Miami who knows Rubio the best, paints the U. S. Senator as a dangerous right-wing extremist and it assails President Trump for turning over America's Cuban policy to such a dangerous individual. Fabiola Santiago thus has both the courage and the insight to make these valid points regarding Trump's decision to appoint Rubio the new Batista-like United States dictator of Cuba:

      "Rubio is all too happy to lead the U. S. and Cuba back to isolation from each other."

       

     "Trump delegated the shaping of U.S.-Cuba policy to his former campaign foe Sen. Marco Rubio of Miami..."

       "Surely Rubio will get the applause of the dwindling ranks of hard-liners in the Cuba Exile who've been fighting without success to change the political course in their homeland for the last 60 years and will go to their graves without shaping strategy."

       "What we don't need is a a Marco Rubio vs. Diaz-Canel Little Cold War."

    "This attitude won't leave Cuba's new President Diaz-Canel any room but to hunker down...and seek new and old alliances with Russia, China, the Middle East and the European Union, which has continued strengthening its relationships with Cuba..."

        "President Trump should engage Cuba's new President, not leave policy to Marco Rubio."

        "It's an ill-suited strategy to squeeze and isolate Cuba at the moment."

        "And we know that before he became a presidential candidate with the need to win Florida, Trump had his eyes on a Trump Tower in Havana and a golf course near Varadero Beach."

     There is much more in Fabiola Santiago's aforementioned article that Americans need to read before, as usual, they sit back on their collective asses and let yet another Republican duo in Washington, this time Trump & Rubio, target the supposed easy-pickings island of Cuba to sate their own economic and/or political greed. Fabiola Santiago is the Cuban-American who rose to become the top Editorial Writer in Marco Rubio's Cuba-obsessed hometown of Miami. But unlike Rubio and his ilk, Fabiola Santiago is concerned with the larger picture, which entails the threat Trump & Rubio represent not just to the island of Cuba but, yes, to America itself.

       A few days ago, Rubio took his Destroy Cuba campaign to the Summit of the Americas in Lima, Peru, where he sought regional support as he rallied the few big-name dissidents that Cuba's 100-person delegation in Lima called "mercenaries."

    The above photo shows Rubio's Destroy Cuba campaign getting applause from the choir in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood at the Manuel Artime Theater, which is a plush building named for a leader of the 1961 Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba that served to make the island's Revolutionary hero Fidel Castro an everlasting Rebel legend. Now in April of 2018 Rubio believes the apathy and tax dollars of propagandized U. S. citizens will enable him to finally get revenge for the 1961 Bay of Pigs USA debacle.

     And the man who has unleashed Marco Rubio on Cuba, President Trump, went to Little Havana in Miami and embraced the huge 1961 Bay of Pigs Brigade 2506 Assault Banner as he shouted obscenities about Revolutionary Cuba to impress what Fabiola Santiago called "the dwindling ranks of Cuban exile hard-liners." All the while knowledgeable and concerned Cuban-Americans in Miami like Ms. Santiago are aware that even an inexperienced, unpredictable, and unpopular President like Trump can say or do anything regarding Cuba and the programmed American people are expected to be too stupid, too afraid, or too unpatriotic to give a damn. After all, as Ms. Santiago suggested, this has been going on practically unheeded for 60 years so why can we expect the current generation of pusillanimous Americans to care if it continues for...say...another 60 years, saddling their own children and grandchildren with a policy that the decent President Obama and the entire world condemned unanimously -- 191-to-0 -- as recently as October of 2016. But, with Rubio & Trump now in Washington, things have worsened considerably today.
