Led by Google in New York!!
The photo above -- taken yesterday, Sept. 25-2018 in New York City -- illustrates how badly the highest echelon of U. S. business executives want to do business with Cuba. Cuba's new President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, is shown being wooed by Google's top executive Eric Schmidt and Google's Brett Perlmutter, who already heads a Google office in Havana. Schmidt, in fact, also arranged for other top U. S. business leaders to join Diaz-Canel at the meeting held at Google's New York headquarters. The company execs on hand, led by the Google leaders, included...Twitter, Microsoft, Vagner Media, Connectify, Virgin Group, Mapbox, Airbnb, Revolution, Udacity, Bloomberg, etc., etc. All those companies were taking advantage of President Miguel Diaz-Canel's whirlwind trip to the United Nations in New York this week. The Miami Herald reported that Diaz-Canel told the business executives: "The principal obstacle to your involvement in Cuba is not Cuba. It is the blockade that you call the embargo that has been in existence since 1962."
Of course, anything -- such as Diaz-Canel's meeting at the Google offices in New York yesterday -- that even hints at cooperation between the U. S. and Cuba causes the Counter Revolutionary extremists in Miami and in the U. S. Congress to go ballistic. The Miami Herald reports that, in reaction to Cuban President Diaz-Canel being on U. S. soil this week, four Cuban-Americans fired off a blistering letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The four members of Congress who signed the hastily composed letter were: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Carlos Curbelo, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Albio Sires. The photo above shows four Cuba-American members of the U. S. Congress from Miami. At the podium is Havana-born Ileana Ros-Lehtinen who has been entrenched in Congress since 1989 when the self-serving Jeb Bush was her Campaign Manager; at Ros-Lehtinen's right shoulder is Carlos Curbelo; on the left is Havana-born Lincoln Diaz-Balart and on the right is Mario Diaz-Balart. The Diaz-Balart brothers are the sons of Rafael Diaz-Balart, a key Minister in the overthrown Batista dictatorship who then, beginning in 1959, became one of the richest and most powerful Counter Revolutionaries in Miami, followed at his death by his two sons who both have been elected to the U. S. Congress. As indicated this week by the reaction to President Diaz-Canel's visit to New York City, such Counter Revolutionary extremists, since 1959, have been allowed to dictate almost all of the Cuban narratives and almost all of the Cuban laws in the United States. And, of course, from generation to generation, they firmly believe they should be permitted to continue that lucrative endeavor.
