A Cuban ANGEL and a USA LIAR??
I'll Let You Decide!!

{Tuesday, April 9th, 2019}
Since 1959, when the upstart and audacious Cuban Revolution chased the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictators to their new capital -- Little Havana in Miami -- Counter Revolutionary zealots, backed by the incomparable might of the USA -- have tried desperately to recapture the island. Each day since then, Miami's Little Havana extremists have cast a tight red noose over the island, expecting on any given day for the past six decades to reel Cuba back into their web. It hasn't happened and that sheer fact is every bit as astonishing as the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on January 1, 1959. After all, Cuba is a mere island and the nearby USA is the world's economic and military Superpower. As a democracy-loving American, and a REPUBLICAN to boot, I've been to Cuba and I've studied its revolutionary history every day {and most nights} for three decades. My conclusion is this:
{1} Extraordinary child-loving Cuban revolutionary women, such as Celia Sanchez, were primarily responsible for the triumph of the Cuban Revolution; and she was primarily inspired by the extreme brutality with which the Batista-Mafia dictators treated Cuba's peasant {non-elite} children beginning in 1952 and continuing till January 1-1959 when she was largely responsible for chasing the Batista-Mafia leaders to sanctuaries such as Miami and Newark.
The twin photos of Celia Sanchez above help document her status as history's all-time greatest female revolutionary recruiter, decision-maker, guerrilla fighter, and military leader. The bottom illustration reflects the manner in which the child-loving Celia Sanchez for the past six decades has inspired two succeeding generations of Cuban women to zealously defend their island against a return of the Batistianos-Mafiosi.
{2} Epitomizing today's generation of Cuban women on the island who are inspired by revolutionary heroines like Celia Sanchez is broadcast journalist Rosy Amaro.
Very popular and quite influential across the island, Rosy Amaro is shown above this week receiving another certificate of appreciation for her work as a journalist and for her Celia Sanchez-like fervor in defense of Cuba's children against the Trump administration's all-out effort to recapture the island for the Little Havana zealots.
A Cuban mother, Rosy Amaro.
Today Rosy Amaro's precious and precocious {singer, gymnast, etc.} daughter is 5-years-old. They have been to capital cities in Europe and they have close relatives in Florida, Virginia, and Arizona. Rosy, like other mothers on the island today, believes that President Trump will permit his five prime anti-Cuban war-mongers -- Marco Rubio, Mauricio Claver-Carone, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and Elliot Abrams -- to attack Cuba later this spring with the world's most powerful military if the new Trump-imposed sanctions don't starve the island into submission before that becomes necessary. Yet, with Celia Sanchez-like fervor, Rosy has made the decision that she had rather die fighting for Cuban sovereignty...and all of the children on the island...then make the easy flight to Miami where she could live royally but "with a guilty conscience."
And Rosy Amaro has talked to her daughter about the dire threat they and all Cubans on the island now face from the Trump administration that takes all of its orders related to Cuba from unchallenged Little Havana denizens such as Marco Rubio. And Rosy also, while holding her little girl's hand, tried to explain why she had made the decision to remain on the island regardless of the much-wealthier sanctuary that would await them in Miami.
For the aforementioned reasons, I nominate Rosy Amaro as a CUBAN ANGEL because of her Celia Sanchez-like love for Cuba's children -- all Cuba's children and not just her own precious 5-year-old daughter.
This photo was taken this past weekend in Rosy Amaro's Havana home. It shows Rosy's daughter on the left with four 5-year-old friends. Rosy had taken a lot of time attending to the make-up and outfits for all these children before she then monitored the girlish frivolity that ensued. Now, perhaps, you know why the child-loving Rosy Amaro is my nomination as a Celia Sanchez-type CUBAN ANGEL. With that being said, permit me now to nominate what I consider to be a typical self-serving USA LIAR who I also consider to be a threat to Cuban chilldren.
Sponsored, funded, and anointed by one of the many right-wing and ultra-rich "THINK TANKS" in Washington, Miami's Ana Quintana is one of what seems like an endless array of normally unchallenged Counter Revolutionary propagandists. In the right-wing Washington Inquirer newspaper this past weekend, for example, Ana Quintana raved about the new anti-Cuban sanctions mandated by Rubio on behalf of TRUMP, and Quintana seemed to rejoice in her belief that the extremely cruel new sanctions will surely starve the Cubans on the island, softening them up for the military regime-change later this spring. Quintana's EXACT Washington Inquirer words were: "Cuba's foreign ministry is raging about U. S. sanctions. Why? Because that means less money for the Cuban colonial masters." Backed by extreme intimidation tactics from her hometown of Miami and by extreme financial input from her Think Tank in Washington and other well-heeled Counter Revolutionaries, Ana Quintana is convinced that her kind are the only ones who have a right to express opinions about Cuba. WELL, I have an opinion; and I think the USA is inundated with a litany of self-serving professional anti-Cuban liars and propagandists like...Ana Quintana.
Of course, Ana Quintana and her ilk can go on right-wing media outlets every day and be hailed Super Experts on U.S. - CUBA RELATIONS. Then, without a scintilla of contradiction, such audiences will be assured that the BATISTA-MAFIA DICTATORSHIP in Cuba was the sweetest, most kind-hearted, and most democracy-loving government on the planet while, of course, the REVOLUTIONARY CUBAN GOVERNMENT since 1959 has been the most ruthless, brutal, and bloodthirsty regime in history. Never expecting to be contradicted or challenged, people like Ana Quintana, not so unlike propagandists in tightly controlled dictatorships, have virtually uncontested lay-ups in the conservative, right-wing U. S. media and even in the intimidated mainstream and left-wing media that is simply afraid of Miami extremists.
On powerful U. S. media outlets such as Fox News, professional anti-Cuba propagandists such as Ana Quintana can appear 24-hours-a-day and never be challenged. Thus two generations of Americans are supposed to believe that the Batista-Mafia rule of Cuba back in the 1950s made for a beautiful democracy and, of course, an idyllic paradise FOR ALL CUBANS and not just for the brutal Mafia thieves like Fulgencio Batista, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Santo Trafficante, and, of course, for the rich U. S. businessmen who paid kick-backs so they could control the so-called "legitimate" businesses on the island.
Of course, Fox News anchors pretend to be journalist when they introduce the litany of professional anti-Cuban propagandists from Miami such as Ana Quintana. Moreover, Americans are supposed to be too stupid or too intimidated to dismiss such introductions: "We now welcome Ana Quintana direct from the mighty Heritage Foundation here in Washington. Born, reared and educated in Miami, we all know that Ana is an unbiased and world-class expert on Cuba, the Caribbean and Latin America. Ana will explain why it is absolutely imperative that the Trump administration, inspired by Miami's Marco Rubio, must execute regime-changes in Venezuela, Nicaragua and MOST OF ALL IN CUBA, which is the source for all of Latin America's ills since 1959. So, Ana, now tell our audience why the Batistiano exiles in Miami need to be reinstated as the rulers in Cuba...FOR THE SAKE, OF COURSE, OF THE U. S. DEMOCRACY as well as the persecuted Cubans on the island." As easily documented by GOOGLING Miami-fueled car-bombs, airplane-bombs, hotel-bombs, the Torricelli & Helms-Burton congressional bombs, and the plethora of Batistiano-sycophants such as the Bush dynasty, well-financed professional Counter Revolutionary propagandists like Ana Quintana can saturate conservative and right-wing media outlets any hour of any day. And greatly exacerbating that anti-Democracy fall-out from Little Havana/Miami since 1959 is the sheer fact that even the mainstream U. S. media is too scared to contradict Little Havana/Miami extremists.
And that's why, after reading Ana Quintana's vicious comments in this past weekend's Washington Inquirer, I start this second week in April-2019 by nominating the child-loving Rosy Amaro as the modern-day Cuban Angel. Whether Rosy and other Cubans like her can survive the Little Havana-directed Trump administration remains to be seen, but their effort, I believe, will be memorable.
The child-loving revolutionary icon, Celia Sanchez, to this day remains the prime inspiration for the three generations of Cuban mothers since the 1950s who have tried so desperately to protect their children from foreign miscreants who resurface in EVERY U. S. Republican administration {of which there have been six since the 1950s, with the latest being TRUMP'S White House, which seems to be even more dangerous for innocent Cubans than the three BUSH White Houses that were 100% aligned with extremist Miami Cubans.}.
Meanwhile, Rosy Amaro -- my nomination as today's Celia Sanchez-type CUBAN ANGEL -- is well aware that she and the other Cuban mothers on the island are being threatened with starvation now by the more stringent Trump-Rubio sanctions and later this spring they expect a USA military attack designed to execute a regime-change, finally revenging the Bay of Pigs military attack in April of 1961. So, you ask, "Why is Rosy smiling as she treads carefully on that very real and very narrow obstacle course?" I'll close by answering that question to the best of my knowledge: "Rosy, in the spring of 2019...like Celia Sanchez back in the 1950s...is at peace with her decision in the spring of 2019 to resist Trump & Rubio at all costs no matter the risks, the consequences, or the overwhelming odds that favor the world's Superpower whenever a Republican President is the USA's Commander-in-Chief." But, hopefully, the child-lovers will survive.
