cubaninsider: STARVATION: Another Cuban Attack

Once Again, Little Cuba, Coveted by BIG USA!!
{Wednesday, April 24th, 2019}

Unfortunately for America and for Democracy, I believe that Ana Quintana is a prime example of extreme, well-funded propagandists masquerading as prolific "journalists" while they do the business of ultra-rich Think Tanks {in her case, the Heritage Foundation}. Catering to special extreme projects {in her case, the long-sought/right-wing recapture of Cuba}, Ana Quintana's vicious and ubiquitous propaganda assaults on innocent Cubans, taking full advantage of the digital age and untold millions of propaganda dollars, often get saturation coverage, overwhelming and drowning out real journalism. The latest Ana Quintana propaganda speil flooded the media spectrum on April 21st and is entitled: "Trump's Cuba Sanctions Will Punish Maduro's Enablers In Havana." Of course, what this and all of Ana Quintana's right-wing propaganda jolts promote is the starvation of Cubans on the island to appease or actually benefit a few rich and politically powerful Cuban-Americans as well as, most unfortunately, the RUBIO/DIAZ-BALART/CLAVER-CARONE/BOLTON/POMPEO morass that is hellbent on using the Trump White House to orchestrate the recapture of Cuba for the saintly, Mother Teresa-like denizens hovering in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood. And that's where still today their prized 1961 Bay of Pigs battle flag...BRIGADA ASALTO 2506...SEEMS to take precedence over the still-PROUD United States of America flag.

As a democracy-loving American, I sincerely believe that the U. S. flag on U. S. soil should always fly higher than all other flags, including the normal Cuban flag.

Of course, massively funded right-wing propagandists like Ana Quintana who masquerade as "journalists" can emerge from the Internet and from live engagements before right-wing choirs to be featured on a vast array of massively funded right-wing propaganda Think Tanks and media outfits, both print & radio-tv propaganda units. This phenomenon, both left-wing and right-wing, has created a "news" media in the USA that is strictly on the LEFT OR RIGHT fringes of America...leaving behind the 80% or so of decent and moderate Americans who don't cater to either left-wing or right-wing propaganda from either the media, politicians or the rich, biased, mushrooming Think Tanks. But the primary losers from the extremes of propagandists like Ana Quintana are totally innocent people who are their targets -- and in Ana Quintana's media-hyped gun-sights are the innocent people on the island of Cuba that Ana Quintana seems to take joy in starving...to APPARENTLY soften up the island for a stronger BAY OF PIGS-like attack.

With that being said, by contrast, allow me to introduce you to a real journalist. Colombia-born Andrea Rodriguez is stationed in Cuba by the Associated Press. Andrea is not a media propagandist; she is a journalist. She fairly writes balanced and unbiased articles from Havana for the AP, whether they shed pro-or-con vibes about the Cuban government. And Andrea understands the rhythms and pulses that course through the lives of everyday Cubans on the island, and so would her readers IF they ignored the likes of ANA QUINTANA and depended on true journalism from the likes of Andrea Rodriguez emanating from the island. Why is that important, you say, if Cuba is merely a small island nation? Well, it's important because...in the eyes of much of the world...Cuba says a helluva lot more about the superpower United States than it says about Cuba. And for that reason alone, Americans should know the difference between a lushly funded propagandist like Ana Quintana and a hard-working true journalist like Andrea Rodriguez. You see, the right-wing propagandist rejoices in punishing innocent people in a weaker country while the true journalist just reports on it.

In the last few days while the likes of Ana Quintana were propagandizing about the wonderful Mother Teresa-types in the Trump administration starving Cubans on the island, Andrea Rodriguez was merely reporting on it for the Associated Press. Thus, Andrea reported that the incredibly new and cruel starvation-type sanctions imposed by the USA's Batistiano-aligned Trump administration are creating food shortages on the island, JUST LIKE they were intended to do. The AP photo above, for example, shows 80-year-old Puro Castell as she left one normally well-stocked Supermarket that had empty shelves in search of one that had food she needed. The AP article quoted Ms. Castell as saying, "I've taken care of myself my whole life. I don't just sit on my hands. I'm worn out but I walk all over town." Intense sanctions or military strikes by a strong nation against a much smaller and weaker nation usually affects the very old and the very young the most, and that's the case with the harsher-than-ever sanctions newly imposed by the Trump administration against Cubans on the island. AND REMEMBER, the U. S. economic embargo against Cuba was first imposed in 1962 for the purpose, according to de-classified U. S. documents, of STARVING, DEPRIVING, AND MAKING MISERABLE Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government. {And then what? A return of the brutal U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship from Little Havana?}. The economic embargo by the U. S. against Cuba...1962 till today in 2019...is easily the longest and cruelest in history by a powerful nation against a weaker nation. But the cruelest sanctions have been imposed in the past couple of weeks by Trump's minions...Rubio, Diaz-Balart, Bolton, Pompeo, Claver-Carone, etc...who must be rejoicing over the AP photo above of the hungry 80-year-old Puro Castell. But Andrea Rodriguez also pointed out that "as of now no one is starving in Cuba." Since 1959 Cuba has guaranteed food where needed as well as maintaining totally free educations through college and totally free healthcare for life for all Cubans. When Little Havana in Miami inflicts Republican administrations to try to starve Cubans on the island by cutting off all financial assets of the government, the people...of course...who suffer the most are people like Puro Castell. But instead of studying the AP photo above, Americans are propagandized to believe that starving Cubans on the island like Puro is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to save the United States. Of course, for the past 6+ decades it has been to enrich and empower the likes of revengeful denizens like...Rubio, the Diaz-Balarts, Claver-Carone, Reich, Noriega, Quintana, etc. etc. It appears that this generation of pusillanimous Americans is simply too propagandized or too afraid to offer an opinion on the fresh AP photo above. But I believe all Americans should be free to visit Cuba and SEE AND JUDGE its people for themselves and also be free enough to form this opinion: IT IS UNFATHOMABLY CRUEL FOR ANY POWERFUL NATION TO USE FOOD AS A TOOL OR WEAPON TO PUNISH OR TO EVISCERATE INNOCENT CITIZENS IN A MUCH WEAKER NATION EVEN FOR ONE WEEK!! Yes, the United States of America has been using food as a weapon against innocent Cubans since 1962, on behalf of the American people. And now in 2019, again on behalf of the American people, the Little Havana-directed Trump minions have greatly expanded that unfathomable cruelty RELATED TO FOOD.

Twice in recent days America's and Donald Trump's NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER John Bolton has been to Miami to declare the USA's war on Cuba, supposedly convincing Americans that little Cuba IS THE BIGGEST NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT TO SUPERPOWER AMERICA. Bolton, while he was a key adviser to President George W. Bush, famously concocted lies in 2002 to try to convince the Batistiano-aligned Bush to launch a full-out military overthrow of Cuba's revolutionary government. Even President Bush refused to take Bolton's advice. Incredibly, the mostly scared mainstream U. S. media as well as the USA's 326 million mostly propagandized citizens accepted the USA's latest Republican president, Donald Trump, recycling the most dangerous right-wing Counter Revolutionary anti-Cuban zealots from the Little Havana-aligned Bush dynasty -- such as Mauricio Claver-Carone, Otto Reich, Elliott Abrams, John Bolton, etc. -- into ultra-powerful/war-mongering positions in the current White House. To pacify a few elderly remnants of Cuba's long-ago Batista dictatorship that {since 1959} have dominated Little Havana in Miami, President Trump has allowed Little Havana's Marco Rubio to personally position the likes of Bolton to direct the long-desired Batistiano regime-change in Cuba. The photo above was Bolton's first trip to Miami to declare war on Cuba. The photo below shows Bolton's second trip to Batistiano territory in Florida a few days ago to re-emphasize the USA's war on Cuba...you know, the poor little island nation that Mr. Bolton says is about to conquer and destroy the USA.

This photo shows John Bolton last Wednesday in prime Batistiano territory -- Miami/Coral Gables/Little Havana -- officially speaking for America and declaring his war on Cuba. Notice, if you will, that Bolton's is heralding his insult to America, to Democracy, and to Decency by standing in front of the BRIGADA ASALTO 2506 banner, which was the Battle Flag used by the USA/CIA-trained Batistiano exiles who attacked Cuba at the BAY OF PIGS in mid-April of 1961. Six decades later right-wing Batistiano sycophants like Bolton preach that the USA humiliation at the BAY OF PIGS was one of the USA's monumental achievements. When a JOHN BOLTON can fly into Little Havana, speak for the USA, and then get APPLAUDED for promising to use the Treasury and the Military of the United States to eviscerate totally innocent people in a nearby helpless nation, perhaps it is time for even cowardly and unpatriotic Americans to finally admit that the USA may be in more trouble than the island of Cuba.
Note: The two following photos from Batista's Cuba in the 1950's still today vividly remind Cuban mothers on the island that PERHAPS evisceration by the Trump minions would be better than a return of the Batistianos. Study the photos, then judge for yourself.

In APRIL OF 2019 it is still apparent that right-wing thugs in all Republican administrations since the 1950's can get away with assaulting and starving Cubans on the island because Americans are not supposed to know that the photo above correctly represents how the Batista-Mafia dictatorship treated everyday Cubans who were not allowed to participate in the wholesale rape and robbery of the island by the Batistianos, the Mafiosi, and the U. S. companies that paid lush kickbacks in order to partake of the financial rewards. The photo above, I believe, indicates that the Batistianos, the Mafiosi, and the U. S. businessmen were stupid not to at least throw some crumbs to such everyday Cubans...and maybe even provide them a little educational and health care.

This photo, TOO, is one that Americans are propagandized NOT to consider as an integral part of U.S.-Cuban relations. But, yes, these Cuban mothers were bravely protesting the murder of their children by agents of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship, and this was the major cause of the Cuban Revolution AND the primary reason the Cuban Revolution ended the Batista-Mafia dictatorship. "Stop the murders of our children. CUBAN MOTHERS" is what the Poster above said. The mother second from the left wearing the white blouse and sunglasses was the mother of Little Willie Soler. Today in Havana a major Children's Hospital is named for Little Willie Soler. And, what you ask, was the reason for the child murders? Apparently it was to quell dissent. However, such extremes of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship both QUELLED and sustained the Cuban Revolution. But beyond all that, the two black-and-white photos depicted historically above are reminders of why...also against all odds...the two latest generations of Cuban mothers on the island have resisted a return of the Batista-Mafia brutality.

The U.S.-Soviet Union "COLD WAR" is over. The legendary Cuban revolutionary icon Fidel Castro died at age 90 in Havana on November 25th, 2016. America's most popular President, John Kennedy, was murdered at age 43 in Dallas on November 22nd, 1963, and he was a notable victim of the "COLD WAR." Moreover, John Kennedy was the most notable victim of the U.S.-backed 1952-1959 Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba AND, truth be known, John Kennedy was the most notable victim of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship's resurgence 1959-2019 on U. S. soil.
