USA Warns Cuba AGAIN

Trump PRIORITIZES Cuba!!

{Posted: Thursday, January 17th, 2019}

The two top Foreign Policy executives flanking President Donald Trump are National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. It is well known in Washington that Trump, in filling those two appointments, could not have found two more war-mongering/anti-Cuban zealots than John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.

In one of his most publicized early acts as National Security Adviser to Trump, John Bolton, as shown above, not surprisingly hustled off to Miami and essentially declared war on Cuba.

Then John Bolton flew to Rio to meet with the new extreme right wing/military obsessed President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro. Many believe Bolton got permission from Bolsonaro to cooperate with Bolton's eminent plans for a regime-change in Cuba.

Veteran and highly respected U. S. journalist Tracey Eaton is America's best expert on topical U.S.-Cuban relations. After Bolton met with Bolsonaro Tracey Eaton said he would "not be surprised" if the United States launched a military attack from Brazil against Cuba. Brazil is BY FAR Latin America's largest, strongest, richest, and most populated nation. After four democratic elections in Brazil that put two extreme pro-Cuban Presidents -- Lulu and Rousseff -- in power, the recent election of extreme anti-Cuban right-winger Bolsonaro changes both the American and Latin American dynamic regarding Cuba.

In that milieu on January 16-2019 U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo strongly followed up on John Bolton's declaration of war against Cuba. As a U. S. congressman, Pompeo advocated strong punishments for Cubans on the island and for a regime change. As Secretary of State under harassed President Trump, Pompeo is in a stronger position to assault Cuba. His State Department has already empowered notorious Cuban Counter Revolutionary zealots to strategic war-mongering positions, such as INCREDIBLY putting Mauricio Claver-Carone to head the USA's Western Hemisphere Affairs department -- a prime spot, of course, to assail Cuba. AND NOW Pompeo stupidly pretends that harmless Cuba is A BIG THREAT to mighty America. So, to appease Claver-Carone and the rest of the rich and powerful Counter Revolutionary zealots, Pompeo announced that he is devoting his time as Secretary of State to "review whether to move forward on the Libertad Act." The Libertad Act was written into the eternally cruel Helms-Burton Act in 1996 by the extreme billionaire Counter Revolutionary zealot Jorge Mas Canosa. It gave Cuban exiles the legal right to sue Cuba for property nationalized when the Cuban Revolution in 1959 booted the Batista-Mafia dictatorship off the island -- all the way to Miami, as it turned out. But each year since 1996 every U. S. President, even the tightly Batistiano-aligned George W. Bush, every six months has had to disclose that the U. S. IS NOT following through on the legal dictates of the LIBERTAD ACT...and for good reason. If acted upon, the Libertad Act would allow Cuba to point out a few internationally known facts, such as whether the Mafiosi that ruled Cuba from 1952 till 1959 had legal claims to such Cuban property and such as how much the USA owes Cuba for SUCH THINGS as the 1903-till-today theft of plush Guantanamo Bay and SUCH THINGS as the internationally declared illegal 1962-to-today Economic Embargo and SUCH THINGS as a wide range of U.S.-government-related terrorist acts against Cuba, most notably the bombing of the civilian CUBANA FLIGHT 455 that killed all 73 people on board. But the brash Pompeo, fueled by the brash and rash Trump presidency, has ANNOUNCED TO THE WORLD THAT HE IS "REVIEWING" whether to act on the LIBERTAD ACT to appease a few of the remaining Counter Revolutionary Cubans. Even if that would enable Miami zealots to sue Cuba in Miami federal courtrooms, it would also shine a pro-Cuba spotlight on issues Cuba has long-claimed should be shone the light of day even in an America that in January of 2019 is dominated by BOLTON-TRUMP-AND-POMPEO.

Also, of course, if Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stupidly activates the Batistiano-beloved Libertad Act, it will shine spotlights on such things as illustrated by the photo above that shows Pompeo kissing-up to a rather notorious dictator. Both of America's most powerful anti-Cuban war-mongers -- Pompeo and Bolton -- are famed for picking on small nations that might not cater to being dictated to by huge nations but KISSING UP to Big Boys with Big Armies and Nuclear Weapons -- like, uh...Russia, China, and North Korea. As Pompeo and Bolton well know, Cuba does not have either a big army or nuclear weapons.

And one more addendum to Mike Pompeo's ignorant threat to activate the infamous Libertad Act to enable a few U. S. Cubans to sue Cuba for lost property. Prior to the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the top echelon of the Mafia had famously raped and robbed Cuba blind while supported by the United States. Those Mafiosi kingpins included Meyer Lansky. That's Meyer in the center above in the graphic that depicts the pre-Revolutionary rape and robbery of Cuba by the U.S.-backed Mafia. AND GUESS WHAT, AMERICA?? One of the families trying to use the LIBERTAD ACT to sue Cuba for lost property is Meyer Lansky's family. I wonder if Mike Pompeo will chew on that well-known fact for at least a moment or two????????????????

There are great, impeccable sources for Americans to comprehend the fallacies of the Libertad Act or the many other evils associated with the Mafia being booted out of Havana to Miami by the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959. Two such sources are the great books -- The Corporation and Havana Nocturne -- by the great author T. J. English. A recent review of both the book and movie based on The Corporation was written by respected journalist David Minsky in the Miami New Times. Just in case you want to dial up that article online, it is entitled: "The Corporation, A History of the Cuban Mob, Is A Made-in-Miami Story."
