Cuba-US Cooperation

How IT HELPS Everyone!!
{Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019}

       This photo is courtesy of Karen Marshall and WGBH News in Boston. It shows the working room at Finca Vigia {Lookout Farm}, the home in Havana where the great ERNEST HEMINGWAY spent 20 years writing his greatest novels. This photo shows how THE HEMINGWAY FOUNDATION, founded in 2002 by young U. S. Congressman Jim McGovern, has FINALLY been beautifully renovated thanks to rare U.S.-Cuban cooperation during a Little Havana-directed Republican presidency. This cooperative example should set a precedent.

     The 59-year-old Jim McGovern has dutifully represented Massachusetts in the United States Congress since 1997, and he's surely one of the most effective and decent politicians in Washington. He firmly believes that U.S.-Cuban relations should be cordial and normal to benefit everyone, and he opposes the 6-decades-old U. S. pattern of allowing a handful of revengeful Cuban exiles and their self-serving sycophants to dictate USA narratives and laws that only benefit them -- financially, politically, and revengefully. But that  is precisely WHY the decent opinions of many members of the U. S. Congress  like McGovern are never aired in the mainstream U. S. media, even including the scared left-wing networks and newspapers that are trying so hard to impeach the latest anti-Cuban/pro-Little Havana {Miami} Republican President Donald Trump. Yet, in the last few days Jim McGovern has shown PRECISELY how cooperation between Cuba and the United States can benefit everyone.

    Thanks to Congressman Jim McGovern, Ernest Hemingway's old home {above} in Havana has been completely renovated with the United States and Cuba joining forces to make it happen. The historic home known as Finca Vigia {Lookout Farm} was where Hemingway spent 20 of his prime years as an author, and where he wrote classic novels such as "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "The Old Man and the Sea."

    The legendary Ernest Hemingway committed suicide in 1961 very shortly after he returned to the U. S. but to this day he remains a legend for the 20 prior and very productive years he lived in Cuba. Because his former home and favorite bar are huge tourist attractions, the fiercely Counter Revolutionary Cubans in the U. S. Congress -- especially Rubio, Diaz-Balart, and Menendez -- fiercely opposed the Jim McGovern-led efforts to restore the Ernest Hemingway home in Havana.

     Now thanks to Cuba-U.S. cooperation, Americans lucky enough to get around the 6-decades-old U. S. embargo of Cuba can get to see up-close Ernest Hemingway's actual bed in Havana from 1940 till 1961.

    What American would not like to visit Havana and see the typewriter that Ernest Hemingway used in his writing heyday?

     What American would not like to sit in the same chair Ernest Hemingway sat in during his days in his beloved Havana home?

     And what American would not like to sit beside a life-like image of Ernest Hemingway at his favorite bar known as El Floridita in Old Havana {Habana Vieja}?

    In the early days of Revolutionary Cuba, Ernest Hemingway and Fidel Castro were friends. Hemingway said that Fidel "listened...sometimes."

     After serving Massachusetts and the USA in the U. S. Congress since 1997, 59-year-old Jim McGovern has finally gotten the USA and Cuba to cooperate on a major restoration campaign involving the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum in Havana. Way back in 2002 McGovern met and got permission from Fidel Castro for the project. The photo above shows Jim McGovern in Havana meeting with Cuba's new President, the island's former Education Minister Miguel Diaz-Canel. Now Jim McGovern, after his Hemingway success, is battling the handful of powerful Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans for other much-needed U.S.-Cuba cooperation. FOR EXAMPLE, Cuba has a lung cancer drug that top U. S. cancer experts want for their patients; Cuba has a diabetes drug that has proven to prevent diabetic amputations; Cuba has a long-standing environmental program that has produced some of the world's cleanest and most pristine beaches and waters while the nearby state of Florida has had to declare a drastic EMERGENCY because of a deadly algae-virus-pollution along Florida's shores; etc; etc.; etc.!!! BUT GOOD LUCK CONGRESSMAN MCGOVERN. America and Democracy VERY BADLY need more US. & Democracy-loving politicians like you.
