Has Trump's War Against Cuba Started?

The NY Times Thinks So!!

    A lot of headline-grabbing things are happening in the USA right now but the majestic New York Times yesterday -- Sept. 12, 2018 -- used a massive article to explain that the Trump administration's impending war against Cuba is getting underway and perhaps that deserves a headline too. The above photo illustrated that article, depicting a street in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood where a boisterous protest against the U. S. opening an embassy in Havana occurred during the Obama administration in 2015. Now the NY Times seems to think that the Trump administration's war to both overturn Obama's overtures to Cuba AND overthrow Cuba's government is now underway.

     The huge NY Times article on Sept. 12-2020 highlighted the above photo, which is courtesy of Raul E. Diego/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images. It shows President Trump in Miami's Little Havana assuring the Counter Revolutionary Cuban extremists that he will reverse Obama's Cuban overtures as well as their {and America's} humiliating defeat at the Bay of Pigs in April of 1961. The Trump speech was in Little Havana's lavish Manuel Artime Theater, named for a leader who led the Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba. The NY Times now believes alarming new developments in Little Havana portend Trump's war on Cuba to appease the Little Havana extremists that he deems necessary to again secure Florida's massive array of Electoral Votes he would need for a 2020 re-election {if he survives a first-term impeachment, which now may be about a 50-50 proposition}.

    The gripping Sept. 12th-2018 article was written by Frances Robles, the NY Times' greatest expert on events in Little Havana. For years, Ms. Robles covered Little Havana for the Miami Herald. Her insightful and scary article is entitled: "The FBI Is Quietly Contacting Cubans in Florida, Raising Old Alarm Bells." NO KIDDING!! Among her scary revelations was: "At least five Cuban-Americans have been surprised by FBI agents" because they  support Obama's overtures to Cuba, NOT TRUMP'S??

     When the New York Times' greatest expert on Little Havana, Frances Robles, believes fresh incidents in Miami may be a preclude to President Trump keeping his promises to the Counter Revolutionary extremists, Americans should, but probably won't, take notice. Extreme intimidation and almost total control of the Cuban narrative in the U. S. by Cuban extremists has, since 1959, sufficiently scared and programmed Americans not to even weigh in on the U.S.-Cuban conundrum, as Frances Robles and other Cuban experts seem to understand and, as brave journalists, have the integrity to report. In yesterday's article, Frances Robles details the ongoing FBI harassment of Cubans in Miami who support Obama-like decency towards Cubans on the island. And if the FBI is overtly doing that, what in the hell is the CIA, which orchestrated the Bay of Pigs and many other attacks on Cuba, doing covertly??

   The Frances Robles-NY Times article should rekindle memories of Emilio Milian this week. Like most Cuban-Americans in Miami, Emilio strongly opposed deadly terrorist attacks by Miami's extremist Cubans against totally innocent Cubans on the island and Cubans in Miami. Emilio was the top Cuban-American newsman in Miami and he bravely voiced those opinions on his news programs in 1976 when he starkly denounced such horrendous events as the terrorist bombing that killed all aboard the civilian, child-laden Cubana Flight 455 aircraft. Then Emilio was silenced by a typical Counter Revolutionary weapon in Miami, a car-bomb. Most significantly is the fact that the intended message, sent to the U. S. media and to the U. S. citizens, has largely been heeded since 1976's typical example involving Emilio. To this day, the vast majority of Americans, even in the digital age, are too afraid to Google such things as Cubana Flight 455 or Emilio Milian or yesterday's Frances Robles article lest they upset the Counter Revolutionary extremists in Little Havana, in the U. S. Congress, and, of course, in all Republican White Houses.

     And that's why this week's use of the above photo by Frances Robles and the New York Times is so significant to the United States democracy that a mere handful of Counter Revolutionary Cuban extremists have been allowed to demean since 1959 when they fled the Cuban Revolution for their Little Havana sanctuary in Miami and later in the U. S. Congress. Of all the anti-democratic things President Trump has done since January 20th of 2017, the above speech to the Counter Revolution choir in Little Havana was/is probably the MOST anti-democratic Trump endeavor. Yet, the programmed and intimidated U. S. citizens and U. S. media -- including those who are fiercely advocating Trump's impeachment -- can once again be expected to be too afraid, too stupid, or too unpatriotic to question Trump even as he appears, as Frances Robles suggests this week, to be creeping closer to his war on Cuba to appease a handful of Little Havana extremists he deems necessary to his political survival. Would such an unwinnable war...even if he nukes Cuba...create an endless conflagration throughout the region? Yes, most likely. But who cares? After all, THE TOPIC IS CUBA and the Cuban Revolution MUST BE DESTROYED even if the effort finishes destroying the America we once proudly knew.
