USA's Cuban-American Embarrassments

Anti-Cuba AND Anti-Democracy?
{Updated: Saturday, January 12th, 2019}

    At midnight on January 11th, 2019, the United States set another all-time record: The longest government shutdown in American history. Prior to that insult to Democracy, many millions of non-rich Americans were already in dire need of assistance from the 535 members of the mostly lobbyist-dictated U. S. Congress. In the 100-member Republican-controlled U. S. Senate reside two vicious Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans -- Marco Rubio from Batistiano-dominated Miami and Bob Menendez from Batistiano-dominated Newark. As the government shutdown drags on and as many millions of non-rich Americans are hurting, guess what appears to be dominating the political and economic minds of Rubio & Menendez? The answer, unfortunately, seems to be this: Rubio & Menendez are far more concerned with punishing totally innocent Cubans on the island than with helping the many millions of non-rich Americans, including non-rich Cuban-Americans. This week as the shutdown dragged on and many other correctable obstacles confronted Americans -- Rubio & Menendez filed yet another LET'S PUNISH CUBANS ON THE ISLAND BILL. Exacerbating such anti-American and anti-Democracy cruelty is the fact that the intimidated mainstream U. S. media and the equally timid and propagandized U. S. citizens either don't give a damn or are simply too afraid to counter whatever Rubio & Menendez concoct to hurt Cubans on the island while also continuing to feather their own economic and political nests.

    The United States of America got permanently reconfigured beginning in January of 1959 when the victorious Cuban Revolution chased the leaders of the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship to U. S. soil -- especially to Miami and Newark. Thus, since 1959 Americans have been propagandized to believe that Counter Revolutionary Cuban-American zealots like Rubio & Menendez are great "Hispanic Role Models" and THEREFORE whatever they do to harm innocent Cubans on the island must be accepted as acceptable U. S. laws. In other words, folks, the American democracy has been reconfigured since January, 1959.

     Within minutes after posting the latest anti-American absurdity from Rubio & Menendez in the U. S. Senate, I got a reply from Vivian Mannerud Verble, one of the all-time greatest and most famous business-owners in Miami. Vivian's exact words were: "It is unfortunate that these two are in Congress. As I reminded {a friend} in a letter, the Constitution of the United States says 'any member of Congress that pledges allegiance to a flag of another country should be tried for treason.' These two have consistently put American values aside in their quest for what they believe should happen in Cuba. Boy how I wish I could take this to the Supreme Court. We would win. Our Cuban policy is un-American. Thank you for your vigilance." {Exact words to me from Vivian Mannerud Verble after she read my above update on Rubio-Menendez}.

    This is the Miami Herald photo of Vivian Mannerud Verble the day her business -- Airline Brokers Company, Inc. -- was bombed out of existence in Miami, apparently because she had a single VERY LEGAL involvement with Cuba. As usual in Miami, it's never been solved.

      But the democracy-loving Vivian Mannerud Verble has persevered with her business -- Airline Brokers Company Inc. I am totally convinced that if America had more brave and intelligent democracy-loving women like Vivian, a handful of self-serving Counter Revolutionary zealots like Rubio & Menendez would not be permitted to so easily dictate America's Cuban narrative AND America's Cuban laws.
