Massive Support from the USA!!
Taking a page from Yoani Sanchez's career, Claudio Padron Cueto knows how to become a well-heeled Cuban in Cuba, not just in Miami. After getting her free University of Havana journalism degree, Padron knew she could stay in Cuba and get massive economic and promotional support from the U. S. by being a Counter Revolutionary journalist-propagandist in Cuba.
The vast Counter Revolutionary Castro Cottage Industry in the United States yearns to support anti-revolutionary dissidents -- especially journalists such as Claudio Padron Cueto that Cuba allows to remain on the island while dispensing their anti-Cuba diatribes via her powerful, well-funded El Torqe/In Touch blog and her powerful, well-funded U.S.-backed sources and outlets -- such as the right-wing media as well as ultra-rich and ultra-powerful propaganda institutions in Washington like the Brookings Institution, which has a Board of Directors that includs dozens of America's richest billionaires -- from Alfonzo Fanjul of infamous Cuba-Miami fame, Nike's Philip Knight, and many, many MORE. Brookings, of course, loves Claudio Padron Cueto.
The Counter Revolutionary Castro Cottage Industry in the U. S. also takes advantage of Cuban experts such as Richard E. Feinberg. He's a university professor-economist-author-journalist and he devotes most of his intellect and energy to Cuban issues. This week he teamed with Claudio Padron Cueto to co-author a HUGE and LONG article about, uh...Cuban ice cream.
The Quartz-Feinberg-Padron photo above illustrated a massive article this week entitled: "To Understand Cuba's Emerging Class System, Try the Ice Cream." It was co-authored by Mr. Feinberg and Ms. Padron -- SO BE SURE TO READ IT. The photo and the article supposedly depicts a wealthy Cuban family enjoying expensive ice cream. Then the article explained that the majority Cuban peasants were relegated to extremely cheap ice cream. WONDERFL!! The gist of the elongated spiel was to stress that Revolutionary Cuba's "egalitarian society" is evolving into a quagmire of gross inequality with the minority rich living luxuriously in Post-Castro Cuba while the majority poor are destitute and starving...and, of course, that calamitous situation MUST BE corrected by a foreign power. Analysis: On the tropical Caribbean island of Cuba, ice cream deserves to be journalistically judged fairly and not used as yet another pawn to discredit everything related to Revolutionary Cuba while sanitizing the vile Batista-Mafia regime that preceded it.
Indeed, in 2018 Revolutionary Cuba has entered into a nascent but still-targeted Post-Castro era. The island since April 19-2018 has inaugurated its first non-Castro leader since 1959 and as of July 22-2018 Cuba has drafted {above} a new constitution that stresses things such as sexual-marriage equality and omits the word "communism" in favor of just "socialism." But as the aforementioned Brookings-Quartz-Padron-Feinberg propaganda references illustrate, there is nothing Revolutionary Cuba could possibly do that would alter what the island has been since Christopher Columbus discovered it in 1492 and that is: Its beauty, its size, and its location has for centuries made it one of the greatest prizes or targets for imperial powers. The Revolution in 1959 finally gained sovereignty for Cuba but the world's most famed democracy -- which happens to be the world's nearby Superpower -- remains in 2018 the one nation in the world that prefers foreign domination over Cuba preferable to any form of self-government for the besieged island, and...sadly...that includes Democracy. The fact that many Americans...most Americans...disagree with that basic truth reflects the power that propaganda and intimidation can have even within the bowels of the world's most powerful Democracy. It was propaganda & intimidation that enabled the U. S. to support the Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba in the 1950s and, since 1959, to support the Batistiano-Mafiosi efforts to regain control of the luscious island. Therefore, regardless of what Cuba's new constitution says or evolves into, the Cuban narratives and the Cuban policies of the United States of America will continue to be dictated by yet another generation of greedy Batistiano exiles and yet another generation of greedy Batistiano sycophants.
