Cuba Is Barely Hanging On

Let's Take A Look!!!
{Sunday, April 14th, 2019}
    Except for the Cuban narratives from Counter Revolutionaries in Little Havana/Miami, Americans are supposed to know just three basic words about Cuba -- Castro, Havana, and maybe Malecon. Regarding the "maybe," the Malecon is the famed seawall that looks 90-miles across the Florida Straits from Havana to Key West, Florida. The pertinent photo above was taken near sunset off the LEGENDARY and BELOVED  Malecon seawall at 7:00 P. M., April 10th, 2019. That reconnaissance-looking airplane and the military-looking helicopter so close to Havana scared some Cubans because it harkened back to a dire and scary threat in 1996 from Miami-piloted planes, which dropped mocking leaflets over Havana and seemed determined to provoke a situation that would dissuade President Clinton from normalizing relations with Cuba, which in fact it did, forcing Clinton to go in the diametrically opposite direction AND SIGN the infamous 1996 Helms-Burton Act. The photo above this week frightened Cubans in Havana when it was first posted on social media because they assumed it showed a U. S. military reconnaissance airplane and a protective helicopter. Cubans on the island anticipate, as early as this spring, that Little Havana Cubans in Miami will attempt a strong TRUMP-backed military attack to, at long last, successfully counter the 1959 victory by the Cuban Revolution.
     This photo from the superb London-based Reuters News Agency proves, I believe, that Cuba realizes that the USA's Trump administration is EVEN MORE of a threat than the vulnerable island suffered during the decades when the fully Batistiano-aligned Bush dynasty dominated the White House in Washington. It is a clear fact that the harassed Trump White House has anointed Marco Rubio with the wherewithal...economically and militarily...to  gift Counter Revolutionary extremists in Little Havana/Miami with their passionate desire -- FULL CONTROL ONCE AGAIN OF CUBA!! Rubio's convenient excuse for his regime-change in Cuba is the VENEZUELAN CRISIS that is blamed on Cuba, a simplistic ploy that the mainstream U. S. media and American citizens are compelled to accept. That reality created the image above, which shows 87-year-old Raul Castro newly emerged from his semi-retirement to make this exact declaration:
           "We will never abandon our duty of acting in solidarity with Venezuela. We reject strongly all types of blackmail. Cuba is being blamed for all evils, using lies and the worst kind of Hitlerian propaganda. We have told the U. S. administration Cuba is not afraid and will continue building the future of the nation without outside interference."
          Feisty, pugnacious and unsurprising words, to be sure, from the revolutionary brother of the late Fidel Castro. But CUBANinSIDER noticed, just hours apart, a quotation that will probably predicate Cuba's immediate and very problematic and unsettled future more than the above pertinent words from Raul Castro.
    Cuba's well-educated, healthy, and restive young-adult generation will determine whether the island survives the latest and probably the all-time most threatening Republican administration in Washington -- Trump's, which has turned all Cuban-related issues over to Marco Rubio and his puppet-masters in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, which actually comprises a tiny but powerful exile government within the bowels of the U. S. democracy. Rosy Amaro, an important and popular news anchor at a key state-owned television outlet in Havana, epitomizes the young-adults on the island who will try to hold off Rubio till the Trump era ends or capitulate to Little Havana's total control of the USA's Cuban policies, withh Little Havana fully backed by the U. S. treasury, the U. S. military, and the U. S. Congress where money easily supersedes either democracy or principle. So, while understanding Rubio is abundantly clear, comprehending Rosy Amaro, and her influence, is still a work in progress. She is a doting mother to a little girl and fiercely defends the island's children, with a fervor reminiscent of revolutionary heroine Celia Sanchez. Also, while it may shock propagandized Americans, she is not at all reluctant to use her television celebrity and her social media influence to sharply criticize any aspect of the Cuban government if she feels it is not serving everyday Cubans. This week, for example, Rosy Amaro openly warned new President Miguel Diaz-Canel, whom she supports, that the Cuban government must live up to the tenets of the new Constitution, the island's first since the 1970's, that allows for more free market enterprise and for more personal freedom.  Invoking her demand for a better Cuba for her 5-year-old daughter Mariana and all of Cuba's children, Rosy Amaro this week chose April 10-2019 -- the day the new Constitution took effect -- to lay these stringent words on the Cuban people and the Cuban government:
            "April 10, 2019, must be a day that Mariana writes down. Let's get out of our usual tragedies...transportation, food, salaries, internet. Let's tune into the Constitution as support for the personal lives of everyone. We have to feel part of the change so that we are generators of that change. The new Constitution will not change our immediate reality, but I hope that my Mariana's Cuba will be much better than what I live today."
        Fully cognizant of three generations of Cuban females -- her mother, herself, and her daughter -- that have been unmercifully targeted all their lives by Little Havana's Superpower-backed government headquartered in Miami, Rosy Amaro ALSO openly blames the Cuban government for shortcomings that she wants corrected, and such criticism is allowed in today's Cuba and how it affects the island's immediate future will be the determining factor as to whether the Revolution can continue to defy all odds and now survive during Trump's remaining time as U. S. President. But when Rosy Amaro -- on state television and on the now ubiquitous social media connections in Cuba -- has the courage and the power to sharply make demands of the government to improve, despite the embargo and other foreign obstacles, such "tragedies" as "food" and "salaries," then I think that a Rosy Amaro on the island rises above a Marco Rubio in the USA when it comes to whether or not Cubans like Rosy's 5-year-old daughter will have a decent and an Independent future in their own island nation. Rosy is convinced that Rubio and his ilk from Little Havana mean to harm children on the island like her 5-year-old daughter in order to seek revenge on the Revolution and/or to intimidate the adults into submission to a richer and stronger foreign entity.
     Cuba's new Constitution, its first since the 1970's, took effect this week -- on April 10, 2019. Rosy Amaro's references to it include the belief that Little Havana in Miami will accept nothing less than a complete Little Havana recapturing of the island.
       A new Constitution...a new non-Castro President born after the Revolution...new reforms approved by a strong majority on the island...but Little Havana will not even allow its puppet President, Trump, to even talk with a Cuban official. And this is the same Trump that flies around the world expressing his "love" for dictators in...North Korea, China, Russia, Egypt, or wherever. But, of course, Cuba is the only nation that chased a U.S.-backed dictatorship off the island...all the way to Little Havana in Miami, as it turned out.
    The excellent Reuters journalist in Cuba, Sarah Marsh, this week confirmed the "food" shortage that Rosy Amaro referenced. Sarah Marsh used a striking photo to show empty shelves at a key Havana supermarket. I could show you that photo but I won't because it saddens me to think my USA democracy allows a handful of Little Havana miscreants to punish, with starvation, totally innocent people in a much-weaker country. Cuba, which provides totally free education through college and totally free healthcare for life, is forced to buy, says Sarah Marsh, "60 to 70 percent of its food" due partly to the "central government inadequacies" but mostly to the "U. S. embargo" that can block farming equipment, fertilizer, etc., from reaching the island and also levy fines or otherwise punish other nations that might want to do business with Cuba. And this week -- on Thursday, April 11, 2019 -- Sarah Marsh reported that "Cuba Seeks A Food Miracle" that includes a 91-year-old former Revolutionary Commander providing Ostrich meat to hungry Cubans.
    At age 91, former anti-Batista guerrilla fighter and Rebel Commander Garcia Frias still makes strong revolutionary statements like the one above: "The Revolution is very complex, and ours is unique: born of the people." This week Garcia Frias was interviewed on state-wide television and he announced that his seven Ostrich Farms could help alleviate Cuba's meat shortage. The Reuters article by Sarah Marsh quoted a 22-year-old Havana law student as saying she had been unable to find chicken meat for the past month and Sarah Marsh reported, "Whenever chicken arrives at supermarkets in Havana these days, long queues quickly form and do not peter out until the stock is exhausted." EVERY chicken farmer in America wants to sell frozen chickens to Cuba and EVERY nearby port in Florida is anxious to deliver the food supply but just ONE Little Havana miscreant, such as Marco Rubio, can scuttle such sanity and decency whenever a Republican rules the White House, which is now the case with Donald Trump.
    And so, to counter the insane and indecent Rubio starvation tactics, 91-year-old Rebel Commander-turned-farmer Garcia Frias wants to supply ostrich meat for hungry Cubans.
    Cubans, even when hungry, have a notable sense of humor. Thus, popular comedians on the island -- such as the one above who calls herself Magdalena de Cuba --  had a glorious time on Cuban television mocking Garcia Frias and his "ostrich solution." Quickly Magdalena's video went viral around the world and Counter Revolutionary propaganda outfits in the United States media still can't stop laughing.
     In Miami Radio-TV Marti aired and raved about the Magdalena video that made fun of the "ostrich solution" presented in Cuba by 91-year-old Commander Garcia Frias. Since the 1980's, of course, Radio-TV Marti has been one of the BIGGEST JOKES IN THE USA -- on the American people!! Two decades ago a famous ABC-News report entitled "The Broadcast to Nowhere" revealed that Marti's purpose was to siphon off tons of tax dollars in a gushing pipeline from Washington to Miami to reward Counter Revolutionary Cubans...and that has been an ongoing GUSHER of tax dollars for decades. Recently top Florida-based journalist/professor Tracey Eaton updated that PRECISE fact using Freedom of Information U. S. government figures to document the insanely lucrative salaries and outside payments still being dished out by Marti's extreme Counter Revolutionary propaganda machine. Radio-TV Marti shines like a beacon to prove that the 1959 triumph of the Cuban Revolution says a helluva lot more about the United States than it says about the island of Cuba.
      As the Miami-based Progreso Weekly points out with the above graphic, the Little Havana Counter Revolutionaries, WHILE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RECAPTURE CUBA IN THE PAST 6+ DECADES, have been able to capture a significant part of the United States government. Of course Radio-TV Marti is one example but the biggest example right now is the "TRUMPIFIED MARCO RUBIO. A U. S. democracy that is unable or unwilling to rein in a "TRUMPIFIED MARCO RUBIO" may be a U. S. democracy that has more problems than Cuba, which is now having "hunger" problems largely because of..."TRUMPIFIED MARCO RUBIO." And that's a "TRUMPIFIED JOKE" targeting both Cuba and the USA.
