The above photo is courtesy of the Associated Press Photographer Desmond Boylan. It shows two high-profile, Democracy-loving Americans -- U. S. Senator Jeff Flake and top Google executive Eric Schmidt -- in Havana this week. They met with Cuba's new President Miguel Diaz-Canel in an effort to combat the Trump administration's alignment with Counter Revolutionary extremists to once-and-for-all strangle Cuba by decimating its fragile economy...after the 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack, numerous assassination and terrorist attacks, the still-punitive 1962 embargo, etc., have failed to restore "democracy" to Cuba -- meaning the return of the overthrown Batista-Mafia dictatorship that raped and robbed the island at will from 1952 till it was chased to Miami in January of 1959. Senator Flake has long battled the Batistianos who dictate America's Cuban policies in Miami and in the U. S. Congress. Eric Schmidt, as the top executive at the Internet superpower Google, wants to connect Cuba to the vital undersea fiber optic cables that run near the island to the benefit of every regional nation EXCEPT, of course, CUBA. Google is finding out that anti-Cuban extremists in the USA can dictate those undersea fiber optic cables too!!
This EFE photo shows U. S. Senator Jeff Flake and Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel talking to each other {center} at that important meeting in Havana Monday, June 4th. It was so important that the mainstream U. S. media, very afraid of the Counter Revolutionary extremists, typically ignored it.
As Cuba's new President, Miguel Diaz-Canel's primary task is to shore up the island's economy so it can withstand the efforts by the Batistiano-dominated Trump administration to strangle Cubans on the island to induce them to oppose Diaz-Canel.
Soon after becoming President, Miguel Diaz-Canel sadly visited the site of the May 18th plane crash on the edge of Havana that killed 113 people, including 101 Cubans. On live television he reported from the site to update Cubans on the tragedy. Born after the 1959 triumph of the Revolution, Diaz-Canel is the island's former Education Minister and he is well-liked by everyday Cubans, which angers the Batistianos.
Then two weeks ago a storm assaulted Cuba with raging rivers, like the River Zaza above, ravaging much of the island and killing four Cubans. Millions of people watched the YouTube video of the Zaza Bridge collapse in which two Cubans were one-step from where the span broke away. Because of the Batistiano-dictation of U. S. Cuban policies, Americans are not supposed to react to such Cuban tragedies, which are exacerbated by the cruel restraints of the unending 6-decade-old embargo.
Cubans in Sancti Spiritus Province who direly needed the Zaza Bridge could only study its demise, hoping it can be rebuilt.
This photo of the Zaza Bridge was taken on June 4th, 2018, after the river subsided but had left behind major damage.
Since 1959 extremists Cuban-Americans -- such as Havana-born Humberto Fontova above -- have been allowed to dictate the Cuban policies and the Cuban narratives in the United States. This has shamed America and Democracy, as registered with a 191-to-0 UN vote in the last year of the decent pre-Trump Obama administration. Thus, such tirades as depicted above, along with much more emphatic REMINDERS, have intimidated U. S. citizens in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave for going on seven decades now. So, Americans are programmed to ignore what democracy-lovers like Senator Jeff Flake and Eric Schmidt said in Havana this week. Instead, whatever self-serving extremists like Mr. Fontova say remains the absolute gospel regarding America's Cuban policies and, with help from an inept mainstream U. S. media, America's Cuban narratives. It's been that way for six decades now, with apparently six more decades on the horizon as we await a more patriotic and democracy-loving generation of Americans.
