U.S.-Brazil War on Cuba

Nearing A Reality!!
{Saturday, December 1st, 2018}

    The highly definitive graphic above is courtesy of Plablo Moreira Leita/Brazil 247. It depicts probably the most important news item currently affecting the USA but, typically, the mainstream U. S. news media will ignore it because the topic is Cuba. But, yes, it is resonating across Latin America this last week of November, 2018. The image...the man...holding the BOMB Hammer is John Bolton, President Donald Trump's and the USA's Top Security Adviser. Cuba and much of Latin America believe that Bolton has successfully advised Trump to overthrow Cuba's revolutionary government and also to make contaminant regime changes in Venezuela and Nicaragua. Therefore, Americans -- who will pay for the impending and perhaps very bloody and expensive chaos in Latin America and the Caribbean -- should study the graphic above.

       And as you study the graphic, please note that John Bolton met with Brazil's new President Jair Bolsonaro this week -- Nov. 29th, 2018 -- to obviously discuss regime changes in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. Bolton for many years as a product of the Bush dynasty wanted a regime change in Cuba and his reputation as an extreme right-wing war-monger is well known. Bolton's meeting with Bolsonaro appears to be an effort to secure Brazil's help in reshaping the political dynamic in the Caribbean and Latin America to suit extreme right-wingers and their rich supporters. Brazil's new President, Bolsonaro, is a well-known extreme right-winger and now the decision-maker in Latin America's largest, richest, and most powerful nation. And so...Bolton's meeting with Bolsonaro was anticipated by top Cuban experts in the United States and in Latin America.

    The photo above is courtesy of The Independent.co.uk and, I think, it should scare and appall democracy lovers. It was taken Thursday in Rio and it shows Brazil's new President Jair Bolsonaro warmly greeting U. S. President Donald Trump's top National Security Adviser John Bolton. Bolsonaro is an extreme right-winger now in charge of Brazil, the Latin American superpower. Bolton is the most extreme high-profile right-wing war-monger in the United States, the world superpower, and Bolton has long advocated the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba. Now it seems President Trump has finally given Bolton that opportunity. And, moreover, Bolton apparently believes that his prime ally in that endeavor is Bolsonaro.

    Many keen observers consider Tracey Eaton to be America's best and fairest journalist related to the intricacies of the U.S.-Cuban conundrum. Almost every major media source in the U. S. -- from the USA Today to NBC News -- has featured Eaton's reporting on Cuban issues. Now a journalism professor in Florida, he remains the best source for reports concerning Cuba...including eight insightful articles this month. His latest update -- on Nov. 28th, 2018 -- is entitled: "New U.S.-Brazil Alliance Will Likely Target Cuba." Eaton was the first to reveal that John Bolton was meeting with Jair Bolsonaro in Rio on Nov. 29th, and he revealed why: "I would not be surprised to see the U. S. government launch some sort of operation targeting Cuba from Brazil." Eaton then explained it was obvious that America's top right-wing/war-monger, John Bolton, would solicit the anti-Cuban, right-wing/war-monger who is now the leader of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro. Eaton directly mentioned some of Bolsonaro's far-right comments: "I wouldn't rape her because she doesn't deserve it;" "She doesn't deserve to be raped because she's so ugly;" "I would be incapable of loving a homosexual son;" and "We're going to execute the Workers Party members here." The Workers Party in Brazil, led by recent former Brazilian Presidents Lula de Silva and Dilma Rousseff, powerfully supported Brazil's poor people and powerfully supported Revolutionary Cuba!!

   This month, John Bolton, as shown above, went to Miami and essentially and very publicly declared war on Cuba and it was clear he had clearance to do so from his boss, America's Commander-in-Chief President Trump. It is also apparent that the ultra-right winger Bolton was mightily impressed by the anti-Cuban comments and actions of Brazil's new ultra-right wing President Jair Bolsonaro.

 Thus, this handshake featuring Bolsonaro and Bolton on Nov. 29th, 2018, was easily predictable and it has prompted America's best appraiser of U.S.-Cuban issues, Tracey Eaton, to write this sentence: "I would not be surprised to see the U. S. government launch some sort of operation targeting Cuba from Brazil." For American citizens and the mainstream U. S. media to sit back and allow a right-wing/war mongering thug like John Bolton to orchestrate what might well be a bloody conflagration in the Caribbean and Latin America is, of course, unthinkable and unconscionable. Yet, the cowardly ambivalence and the darkening atmosphere that currently pervades both Washington and the mainstream U. S. media makes what Tracey Eaton and many other decent observers fear has become a distinct probability.

     The Cuban official in charge of day-to-day...and sometimes hourly...monitoring of U. S. designs on Cuba is Carlos Fernandez de Cossio. He said, "I believe when the primary U. S. news media failed to report fairly what Bolton said in Miami, which to me was a war declaration, it emboldened Bolton to go forward with enticing Brazil's Bolsonaro into his scheme for executing regime changes in Cuba as well as Venezuela and Nicaragua. Brazil, the Latin American power, now has a Bolton-like extremist as its leader...and the U.S. is the world power. We know those regime changes can be executed but the people who allow it to happen should know that it would only be another beginning and not be the end of the matter."

     An influential Cuban highly respected for closely staying in touch with the rhythms and pulses of everyday Cubans on the island is Rosa Miriam Elizalde. She said, "We have known since Bolton's speech in Miami and Bolsonaro's inflammatory words and deeds against Cuba that it could evolve into a nexus against us-- mighty Brazil and ultra-mighty America warring against us much like the Mafia and ultra-mighty America warred against us in the 1950s. The Cuban media, which I represent, respects Cubans on this island more than the American media respects Americans, so both the Cuban journalists and the everyday Cuban people constantly interact with each other, and we know what to expect from Trump and Bolsonaro. But for us, we have two options -- surrender to foreigners or revert to do-or-die revolutionary ideals. That seems, again, to be our two choices now. Even with their combined arsenals, Trump and Bolsonaro will never get us to surrender. If that means we perish...well, you know...! A sovereign and independent Cuba has always been worth a do-or-die fight, and that has been especially so since January one of 1959."

    Among other things on the island, Rosa Miriam Elizalde is in charge of Dominio Cuba, an influential television channel that, indeed, interacts with the Cuban people. And Rosa via television has shared with her fellow Cubans the image of John Bolton wielding the BOMB Hammer.
