Cuba Exposes USA Myths

David Reveals Goliath's Lies!!
{Wednesday, January 9th, 2019}
    The little guy above has a scientific name. It's Anurogryllus Celerinictus. But he is better known just as Cricket. This week -- Jan. 8th, 2019 -- Cricket was featured in a GIANT and LONG headline in America's top newspaper -- USA Today. The headline: "Remember That Mysterious 'Attack' On U. S. Diplomats In Cuba? Scientists Think It Was Crickets." And to be specific, the cricket in question is Anu Cele...to shorten his real name.
   Two years ago as the Batistiano-aligned Republican presidency of Donald Trump was replacing the decent Democratic presidency of Barack Obama, it was known that the Batistiano remnants in Miami and in the U. S. Congress would have another GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to finally recapture Cuba after being chased to U. S. soil by the Cuban Revolution on the first day of 1959, going on 7 decades ago. But even Batistiano zealots operating freely in the U. S. need excuses...also known as pretexts...to have U. S. tax dollars and U. S. Congressional laws to mount all-out assaults on Revolutionary Cuba. The BIG pretext during Trump's first two years as Commander in Chief has been accusations against Cuba for "Sonic Attacks -- the new kind of Warfare" against U. S. "diplomats" stationed in Havana at the U. S. Embassy, which the brave and decent President Obama had reopened for the first time since 1961. Cuba and most unbiased people maintained all along that the Sonic Attacks were perpetrated by Cuba's enemies, were bogus, or merely were a pretext crafted by Miami and Washington right-wingers to reverse the mammoth normalization efforts Obama courageously mandated prior to the weird election of President Trump. All along for two years Cuba has begged for the USA to work with Cuban and Canadian experts to determine the cause of any alleged "sonic attacks" harming Americans. And Cuba and many others pointed out that Cuba itself was suffering from the allegations and Cuba's enemies in Miami, Newark, and Washington were rejoicing as the winners. So...if there were sonic attacks at all, who might be responsible, the government of Cuba that was the punished victim or the ones who benefited and were rejoicing about them?
   President Obama's reopening of the U. S. Embassy in Havana for the first time since 1961 had greatly helped Americans, Cubans, and especially all the decent Cuban-Americans who regularly react with Cuban relatives on the island. But the U. S. Cuban policies since the 1950s have been designed to whet the greedy and revengeful appetites of a few extremist Cuban exiles and their political and economic sycophants, such as the Bush dynasty. And the latest Republican present, Trump, has surprised no one by capitulating to the Batistiano extremists. Thus, Trump gutted the embassy entirely as one of the first uses of the "sonic wave" pretext, and many more pro-Batistiano/anti-Cuban/and anti-American punishments against Cuba, meaning everyday Cubans, have followed in the past two Trumpian USA years.
    While the mainstream U. S. media will not admit it and U. S. citizens are programmed to deny it, President Trump's most egregious, but least controversial, decision has been to anoint the greedy, self-serving, Little Havana "choirboy" Marco Rubio as America's latest Cuban dictator.
     When former President Barack Obama very bravely opened the U. S. embassy in Havana for the first time since 1961, democracy-lovers in America and around the world rejoiced.
    But as the above photo indicates, Senator Rubio can go back to Little Havana in Miami and LAUGH, while addressing his usual choir, about how easy it is for a handful of extremists from Little Havana to dictate "U. S. POLICY TOWARDS CUBA." Although it is NOT LAUGHABLE to democracy-lovers around the world, that's the way it has been for decades now as, somehow, the island of Cuba, the quintessential David, has remained a sovereign nation since 1959 even as the quintessential Goliath, the United States, has put "U. S. POLICY TOWARDS CUBA" into the greedy hands of Rubio-types.
    When he reopened the U. S. Embassy in Cuba for the first time since 1961, President Obama -- as shown above with First Lady Michelle -- named the perfect person to be America's Ambassador to Cuba...and not a single decent person in Washington disagreed with that. And that decent, perfect man shown accepting the appointment was the extremely dedicated Cuban expert and brilliant diplomat Jeffrey DeLaurentis. But very quickly Marco Rubio, as one biased and revengeful U. S. Senator, blocked that appointment forever...revealing once again how an extremist minority of pro-Batistano Cubans can dictate the U. S. Cuban Policy to suit their revenge against Cuba while enhancing their economic and political fortunes.
    Incredibly, the quintessential David...the island of Cuba...has remained an independent nation since 1959 although the quintessential Goliath...the Superpower United States...is a mere 90 miles to the north, as the above map shows. On the southeastern tip of the island, this map also shows the dimensions of the U. S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The U. S. stole that luscious land and port "in perpetuity" way back in 1903 simply because it could. Five years earlier, after the easy victory in the 1898 Spanish-American War, the U. S. had replaced Spain as the dominant imperialist power reigning over Cuba. Anytime from 1898 till 1952 the U. S. could have made Cuba a democratic jewel as the largest and most beautiful Caribbean island. The U. S. chose not to do so, preferring other forms of Cuban governments that would be better suited for rich Americans to plunder the island, while a democracy would have prevented much of that thievery in deference to helping Cubans on the island.
    In 1952 a handful of right-wingers in the Republican Eisenhower administration sicced the Mafia on Cuba, again so rich Americans could partake in the robbery of the island.
    Beginning in 1952 the U.S.-backed Mafia dictatorship in Cuba was led by the highest echelon of the U. S. Mafia -- from left-to-right Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Fulgencio Batista. While getting kick-back dollars from major U. S. businesses, the Mafia in Cuba feasted on its evil enterprises such as drug trafficking, prostitution, and gambling. All the while, U. S. muscle propped up the Mafia in Cuba, including its then-secretive ARMY OF THE AMERICAS where the U. S. was beginning to train soldiers and police from friendly dictatorships -- Batista's in Cuba, Trijillo's in the Dominican Republic, Somozo's in Nicaragua, etc. -- and then send them back so those friendly dictators could stay in power...and help rich U. S. businessmen plunder helpless nations.
      But beginning in 1952 the right-wingers in Washington and the Mafia leaders in Cuba did not have enough intelligence to even throw some crumbs at the majority peasants on the island. A case in point is the photo above that was typical of the peasants' plight in Batista's Cuba while rich Batistianos, Mafiosi, and Americans ravished the island.
     But this photo...and many like it...document what fueled the first Revolution that would threaten a U.S.-backed dictator. In order to supposedly quell dissent, the Batista dictatorship...as challenged by these brave Cuban mothers...murdered Cuban children as warnings. The sign above says: "STOP THE ASSASSINATIONS OF OUR CHILDREN. CUBAN MOTHERS." Extremely brave marches like this fueled the Cuban Revolution far more than the extreme poverty as depicted in the previous photo.
     History registers the fact that Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution shocked the world by overthrowing the Batista-Mafia dictatorship on January 1, 1959.
     When Fidel Castro waved good-bye to the fleeing Batistiano-Mafiosi leaders in January of 1959, he thought -- as he told his friend Barbara Walters at ABC-News decades later -- that the U. S. government would be "too embarrassed about the Batista atrocities to accept them back on American soil." That, of course, was a totally wrong assumption. In the six decades since January of 1959, the Batistiano-Mafiosi remnants have waged both war and terrorism against Cuba from U. S. soil and via punitive Congressional laws in an all-out and ongoing effort to regain control of Cuba.
     On November 25-2016 Fidel Castro finally died at age 90 and his 87-year-old revolutionary brother Raul resigned as President of Cuba on April 19, 2018. Cuba's new President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, was born after the revolutionary triumph and is the island's former Education Minister. On February 24th, 2019, Cuba will get a new Constitution, its first since 1976 and one that has been meticulously discussed at countless public sessions across the island.
     Meanwhile, as noted earlier, the viciously greedy and revengeful Marco Rubio from Little Havana has full clearance from President Trump, the U. S. media, and the sufficiently propagandized U. S. citizenry to wage whatever type of war or deception he chooses to execute a regime-change in Cuba before Trump is impeached or voted out of office

     And meanwhile, as also noted earlier, Rubio for the past two years has used the alleged mysterious sonic wave attacks against Americans in Havana as a prime pretext, or excuse, to tighten the screws on Cuba and, as many top experts like Tracey Eaton are predicting, to actually attack Cuba perhaps by the spring of 2019. Eaton, America's top Cuban expert, recently wrote that he would "not be surprised" if the Trump/Rubio/John Bolton/Maurico Claver-Carone quartet launch an attack on Cuba "from Brazil" now that Latin America's largest and strongest nation has a new Trump-like, extreme-right wing President in Jair Bolsanaro, who is extremely anti-Cuba, anti-poor people and gays, and pro-military.
    The U. S. mainstream media is so incompetent and the American people are so propagandized that there was little outcry when President Trump named the infamous war-monger John Bolton as his top National Security Adviser. Bolton, like almost all of the extreme right-wingers in the Trump administration, is a product of the Bush dynasty where Bolton strongly advocated a regime-change in Cuba. When Bolton, as shown above, quickly flew to meet Brazil's new right-wing President, Jair Bolsonaro, many experts on U.S.-Cuban relations believed Bolton's intention was to get Bolsonaro's inclusion for a spring offensive against Cuba. AND TO REPEAT: America's top Cuban expert, TRACEY EATON, wrote that he would "not be surprised" if Trump/Rubio/Claver-Carone/Bolton launched their expected spring attack on Cuba "from Brazil." American citizens, who would pay for such ignorance, are not supposed to believe that any such thing is brewing...and when-if it happens, they are supposed to accept it...meekly, or course.
     But meanwhile, as also mentioned earlier, Rubio may have to concoct some new excuses to continue to wage warlike intrigue against Cuba. For the past two years, much of Rubio's cowardly activity against Cubans on the island has been waged from Little Havana, Congress, and the White House based on the SONIC WAVE attacks even though most unbiased people never thought Cuba would harm itself and help its enemies by perpetrating such stupidity. And now today -- January 8th, 2019 -- the USA's top newspaper, USA Today, finally screams this headline: "REMEMBER THAT MYSTERIOUS 'ATTACK' ON U. S. DIPLOMATS IN CUBA? SCIENTISTS THINK IT WAS CRICKETS." Yes, a cricket like the one above screaming loudly during the mating season to try to impress a potential female mate. But deadly U. S. excuses to harm Cuba are actually a dime-a-dozen -- and you can Google them such as...Remember the Maine in Havana Harbor; Operation Northwoods; Brothers to the Rescue Planes from Miami Dropping Items over Havana; etc. and if you are still interested after Googling those three, remember there are many more. So Rubio and his large, highly paid staff can, and probably will, quickly replace the Cricket as with other pretexts/excuses. And whatever they are, the mainstream U. S. media and the mainstream U. S. population will likely...and meekly...accept them, as always. {But USA Today's love-lorn Cricket is a cute little guy, isn't he? I hope he found a mate, or two, after all that yelling.}.
