   Revolutionary Cuba is nothing if not resilient and pugnacious. It is being hit now by Hurricane Michael while still getting over Hurricane Maria...not to mention the 6+ decades of extreme man-made hurricane-like attacks from Miami and Washington. Yet, it is still standing. The photo above was used to illustrate an October 8th-2018 article in the Miami Herald written by Mimi Whitefield and entitled: "After A Hurricane, Mysterious Attacks, and U. S. Warnings, Travelers Return to Cuba." Amazing!! The Miami-Washington renewed legal tricks-pretexts to starve Cuba by curtailing or cutting off its tourism has always embed-and-flowed...and incredibly is surging again. Yes, incredible!!

     In the U. S. the mainstream media is too afraid or too politically correct to report fairly on Cuban issues, and I think that has been particularly so since Miami's top Cuban-American journalist, Emilio Milian, was car-bombed after he voiced opposition to extreme Cuban-American terrorism against innocent Cubans, such as the Oct. 6-1976 terrorist bombing of the civilian Cubana Flight 455 airplane...plus deadly hotel bombings in Cuba, many by the same well-known terrorists. In that milieu even in 2018 the best and fairest reports regarding Cuba seem to come from world-class Travel Writers, such as Irene S. Levine, shown above. Her updated Forbes article is entitled: "Luxury Cruise Line Announces New Immersive Voyage to Cuba." Her explanation informs Americans that the best way to visit Cuba -- amidst the ongoing Trump-Rubio attempts to starve the island by killing off its tourism -- is to sail to the Caribbean island on Cruise Ships, including on major lines run by Cuba-friendly Cuban-Americans out of nearby Florida ports.

      The aforementioned article by Irene S. Levine reports the success of the Seven Seas Mariner luxury cruise ship sailing to Cuba out of Florida ports. She wrote:

         "In August 2018, when luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruise announced it's first immersion cruise line to Cuba would set sail in March, 2019, the new itinerary proved to be so wildly popular that it sold out within two weeks.

               

           "Because this high demand suggested that luxury travelers are interested in longer, overnight port stays and want to visit multiple cities in Cuba, the cruise line just announced a second immersive cruise experience.

           

          "Seven Seas Mariner will be sailing on a 10-night immersive Cuba Exploration Voyage, leaving Miami on October 22, 2019 and returning on November 1."

    This photo shows the inside of the Seven Seas Mariner, the luxury cruise ship sailing regularly from Florida to Cuba. The Irene S. Levine article tells us that when an additional trip was announced for March of 2019 it quickly sold out at lofty prices, showing the interest of Americans to have the freedom the rest of the world enjoys freely and, of course, unhindered by Cold War Batistiano-fueled U. S. laws designed to overthrow the island's Revolutionary government...a process still surging in the USA into its SEVENTH DECADES. But these additions of luxury cruises from the USA to Cuba come on the heels of an already thriving parade of cruise lines taking Americans to the gorgeous, intriguing Caribbean island.

    Americans are saturated with a Cuban narrative dictated by Counter Revolutionary extremists. Thus, Americans believe that ALL Cuban-Americans are obsessed with over-throwing Revolutionary Cuba's government. That's a lie. Most Cuban-Americans, EVEN IN MIAMI, want the U. S. government to treat Cubans on the island sanely...and the Cuban-born Frank Del Rio is a prime IN THE MAJORITY example. Frank is the President & CEO of the powerful Norwegian Cruise Lines.

    From Miami, Cuban-American Frank Del Rio eagerly took advantage of former President Obama's decent overtures to Cuba. He then made sure his powerful cruise line could sail from Florida to Cuba.

    And thanks to the bravery and decency of President Obama, Frank Del Rio's Norwegian Cruise Line sails to Cuba.

    With tears flooding his Cuban-American eyes, Frank Del Rio was aboard his Norwegian Cruise Line ship {above} when it sailed into Havana Harbor on March 9th, 2017. The majority of Cuban-Americans in Miami, like Frank Del Rio, strongly desire decent and sane relations between the United States and Cuba. But Cuban-Americans like Frank seem totally ineligible to be candidates for key political offices in Florida -- especially as Governor, Judges, and members of the United States Congress. That insult to Democracy is something Americans should at least be allowed to discuss with Cuban-Americans like Frank Del Rio.

    Since 1959, only self-serving Counter Revolutionary extremists, such as Miami's U. S. Senator Marco Rubio, have dictated America's Cuban narrative and America's Cuban laws. That is quite similar to the 1950s in Cuba when the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba thrived on the massive support it received from a U. S. Cuban policy designed by right-wing Republicans to enrich their already rich political donors. That should have changed in January of 1959 with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, but it didn't because the leaders of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba resettled stronger than ever in their new capital -- Little Havana in Miami. Aligned tightly with every Republican administration in Washington since the 1950s, the Counter Revolutionary Cuban extremists have thrived even though their quest to recapture Cuba has failed miserably and, I should add, incredibly. Rubio is shown above being anointed by another Republican President, Donald Trump, as America's latest Cuban dictator and Rubio is nothing more and nothing else than a self-serving Cuban-American who has never set foot on the island whose people he slanders and assaults under the lying pretense of "hurting Castro."

Conclusion:

     An American democracy that promotes the likes of Marco Rubio and mostly ignores Cuban-Americans like Frank Del Rio is an American democracy that has continued to precipitously decline everyday since January 1, 1959, which was the day Cubans on the island chased the leaders of the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship to their new sanctuary on U. S. soil as opposed to their old U.S.-backed Rape & Robbery sanctuary on Cuban soil. In January of 1959 Miami became Little Havana.

But Little Havana is not Havana.

      Cruising to Revolutionary Cuba...

from Florida.......

has become a top priority.
