It's Now About 50-50!!
{Let's Take an HONEST Look}
One of Miami's most important journalists is Arturo Arias-Polo. In English he writes for the Miami Herald and in Spanish he writes for the Miami El Nuevo Herald. On the eve of this weekend in mid-May 2019 -- on Friday, May 17th -- Arias-Polo's propagandized-fueled article was/is entitled: "Visit Cuba Without Leaving Miami." The theme, of course, suggested that tourists yearning for Cuba should continue to visit Little Havana in Miami, at least until the Trump administration recaptures Cuba for the remnants of the Batista dictatorship that fled the victorious Cuban Revolution and, beginning in January of 1959, established their new capital city -- Little Havana in Miami. So, Arias-Polo's Miami Herald propaganda on May 17-2019 urged tourists to visit Cuba by visiting Little Havana while the Trump administration continues to starve Cubans on the island until Trump recaptures Havana for LITTLE HAVANA.
Since January of 1959 the U. S. democracy has included a second government...the Batistianos...within the bowels of the U. S. government with Little Havana USA in Miami being its capital. Americans have been programmed since 1959 via intimidation and via the Batistiano dictation of the Cuban narrative to dismiss this cancerous fact, and yet it's true.
But please understand this: As a democracy-loving American, I have been to both Havana and Little Havana. I have no problem with the majority of Cuban-Americans in the Miami area, except for the fact that a handful of two generations of Batistianos have dictated Miami's economic and political structures with questionable money and strong-arm tactics basically since January 1, 1959. Along the way...while picking up sycophants such as the Bush dynasty and out-of-state converts like Jeb Bush and Rick Scott...Little Havana's reach inundated Washington beginning in 1989 when the self-serving Jeb Bush was Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's Campaign Manager, putting her as the fierce ultra-zealous Counter Revolutionary in the United States Congress.
So this photo from 1989 marked the beginning of the Batistiano government becoming a second government in Washington, following the takeover of Miami by the Batistianos in 1959. Jeb Bush had reason to smile in this photo because putting the Havana-born Counter Revolution-zealot Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in the U. S. Congress paved the way for Jeb to become the two-term Governor of Florida. Ros-Lehtinen served in the U. S. Congress for three decades, from 1989 till 2019. She recently retired from Congress to take a lucrative job with a Washington Think Tank that has Cuban dealings. While recapturing Cuba has since 1959 been a priority of the Batistianos, the main priority -- just like in Cuba from 1952 till 1959 -- has been MONEY. Since the 1980s Batistianos in Congress have legalized extremely cruel anti-Cuban laws such as Helms-Burton to punish Cubans on the island BUT they are also responsible for legalized laws such as Radio-TV Marti, an exceedingly lucrative anti-Cuban operation in Miami that, since the 1980s, has literally gushed on a daily basis tons of tax dollars from Washington to Miami, supposedly to overthrow the Cuban government but mainly, of course, to enrich Batistiano Cubans. So, if you're interested in knowing the origin of the Batistiano government, study the photo above; it became entrenched when Jeb Bush used the economic and political power of the Bush dynasty to put Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in the U. S. Congress in 1989. Shortly, she was followed by a continuing line of Batistiano stalwarts from Little Havana -- including Marco Rubio as well as the Diaz-Balart brothers Lincoln and Mario who are the sons of key Batista Minister Rafael Diaz-Balart, the man who formed Miami's first anti-Castro paramilitary unit known as the White Rose.
So, to recap what you just learned:
The latest {May 17-2019} propaganda speil by Arturo Arias-Polo in the Miami Herald is entitled: "Visit Cuba Without Leaving Miami." That's typical Batistiano propaganda since 1959 but it is also, to a significant degree, sadly true.
This photo, also sadly, aptly and amply illustrates that latest propaganda piece in the Miami Herald. Miami since 1959 not only evolved into Little Havana, it also -- thanks to its control of the Republican Party in Washington -- leads the way in trying to starve the Cubans in Havana prior to the anticipated recapture of Havana while Donald Trump is the U. S. President. So, now that you understand that undeniable update from Little Havana, I'll turn to a real journalist reporting for the Associated Press on today's actual conditions in Havana.
Colombia-born Andrea Rodriguez is the excellent journalist the Associated Press has stationed in Cuba. Her May 17-2019 article heading into this weekend is entitled: "Cuba Still Welcoming Tourists Despite Trump Restrictions." She reports that the island had 4.7 million tourists in 2018 and is on a pace in 2019 to reach 5 million. In the first four months this year, 257,000 Americans visited Cuba, mostly arriving on cruise ships. Andrea Rodriguez wrote: "The battle for Cuba's economic future is being waged on its beaches. And at its all-inclusive resorts, dive sites and cobblestone colonial plazas. The country has launched a full-scale effort to turn virtually the only bright spot -- tourism -- into an engine...." Andrea Rodriguez earlier had pointed out Cuba's herculean effort to produce more food products as well as also trying desperately to increase renewable energy as well as its own oil production with the help of Canadian, Australian, and Vietnamese drilling companies. But..."tourism" still remains the immediate key to Cuba's surviving the Trump presidency that, like previous Republican administrations, totally takes it Cuban orders from only the most extremist Little Havana zealots. In the May 17-2019 AP article, Andrea Rodriguez said: "On the paradise-like beaches of Varadero...the little city alone has 21,200 hotel rooms and is adding 1,000 more per year, managed in partnership with Spain's Melia and Barcelo hotel chains and with Mexico's Fiesta Americana Corporation."

Every day since January 1-1959, with expectations that Cuba would be recaptured for the Batistianos "any day now," Little Havana Cubans have longed to regain control of all aspects of Cuba, including pristine beaches like this.
The city of Varadero has 21,200 high-quality hotel rooms and contracts for 1,000 more to be built each of the next five years...and as of May-2019 Little Havana is not involved with any of Varadero's assets.

Since January of 1959, the Little Havana USA leaders just across the Florida Straits in Miami have expected every Republican President...there have been six...to recapture Cuba for them. It hasn't happened but in the last six decades Little Havana has exacted extreme revenge against totally innocent Cubans on the island while also, of course, using its dominance of the Republican Party to grossly enrich a multitude of Little Havana Counter Revolutionaries.
But of the six U. S. Republican Presidents since the 1960's, all of whom have been tightly tied economically and politically to Little Havana, the Trump administration is the most dangerous as far as Cuba is concerned and as far as getting the USA entangled in a neighborhood war, meaning the Caribbean and Latin America. When Trump anointed Little Havana's Marco Rubio as the Cuban dictator on U. S. soil...it is no surprise that the USA's two top foreign policy stooges are two of America's most famed anti-Cuban war-mongers -- Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton. In other words, if dictator Rubio can't recapture Cuba with Trump as Commander-in-Chief, Pompeo as Secretary of State, and Bolton as National Security Adviser, than even Cuba's new President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, will probably be surprised. {And as for me, I give Rubio a 50-50 chance as long as Trump is President and as long as the American people tolerate people like renowned war-mongers such as Pompeo and Bolton in such extraordinary positions of power}.
Meanwhile, speaking of Cuba's new President Miguel Diaz-Canel, he happens to be very popular on the island as indicated by three photos taken this week by Boris Fuentes. Born after 1959's triumph of the Cuban Revolution, Diaz-Canel has been beloved by Cubans since his days as the island's Education Minister. As shown above, he is known for having extremely compassionate feelings for Cuba's children and its elderly citizens but today's all-important, and restive, young-adult generation on the island at the moment also strongly supports Diaz-Canel. With Diaz-Canel's insistence, and with a very helpful Google presence on the island, most Cubans have ready access to the social media, which fiercely reveals their love of Diaz-Canel as well as their hatred of...Trump, Rubio, Pompeo, Bolton, and Mauricio Claver-Carone, the career Counter Revolutionary zealot that Rubio has maneuvered into the strategic position of the USA's Chief of Western Hemisphere Affairs because Cuba is in the, uh, Western Hemisphere.
This photo this week shows President Diaz-Canel out among everyday Cubans who adore him. Such mingling is his trademark, and he has ordered his Ministers to "make regular appearances on state radio and television outlets to let the people know exactly what you are doing, or not doing, to help them."
This photograph this week shows President Diaz-Canel, in the blue shirt, doing what he apparently loves the most...mingling and talking to everyday Cubans. Although he is Cuba's first non-Castro and first non-Revolutionary leader since 1959, Diaz-Canel is known to be a hardline defender of the Revolution. Even on his Twitter page Diaz-Canel has affirmed that "no matter the Superpower aligned at the moment against us, the Revolution must be and will be defended with every ounce of strength and blood we can muster."
