cubaninsider: USA's Batistiano Democracy

How Did This Happen!!
{Tuesday, May 28th, 2019}

History registers the fact that the U. S. democracy sicced the Batista-Mafia dictatorship on Cuba beginning in 1952 as the best way for rich U. S. companies to partake in the fleecing of the Caribbean's biggest and arguably its most beautiful and most promising island.

History also notes that on the very first day of 1959 the Cuban Revolution chased the Batista-Mafia leaders off the island...all the way to what became Little Havana in nearby Miami.

Beginning in 1959 massive amounts of Mafia money and Mafia-like intimidation overwhelmed Miami and since then Republicans in the USA's two-party system have routinely aligned their economic and political fortunes with the Cuban-exile Batistianos in Florida and subsequently in the U. S. Congress and all Republican White Houses. The image above is an example. On May 26th, 2019, on Fox News Sunday the U. S. Senator-for-life from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, repeated his ignorant plea for President Trump to attack Venezuela because "Cuba's 6,000 to 7,000 troops in Venezuela are propping up Maduro" AND THE U. S. HAS DECIDED SINCE JANUARY THAT JOSE GUAIDO IS THE PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA. Meanwhile, a decent democratic nation NOT with a leader controlled by the Miami-based Bastianos, Norway, is right now hosting Maduro and Guaido representatives in Oslo TRYING TO BRING ABOUT A SANE AND DECENT diplomatic solution to the very obvious Venezuelan crisis. To allow anti-Cuban war-mongers like Lindsey Graham, the Diaz-Balarts, John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, Mike Pompeo, Mauricio Claver-Carone, etc. -- all of whom are 100% aligned with the Batistianos -- to dictate any regime-change or anything else in the Caribbean or Latin America is shooting America and Democracy in their once-precious feet...but those feet in the USA have been allowed to march in a dark and sinister direction since 1959. To appease his Batisitano friends and benefactors, the self-serving Senator Graham pretends that he does not believe the USA is fighting enough wars or potential wars at the moment. After all, as Eisenhower warned as he departed the White House, America's vast "Military-Industrial Complex" must be sated and fed like an insatiable dinosaur -- and believe me that is the case with the Batistianos in charge of yet another Republican administration that includes Trump and his golfing buddy Lindsey Graham.

An Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal this week reminded the world that in late May of 2019 a U. S. Batistiano-style democracy {or dictatorship or whatever you want to call it} has existed on American soil virtually since 1959. That Op-Ed was penned by U. S. Senator Lindsey Graham. He is a frequent golfing buddy of President Trump, an embattled leader who needs Graham and all such Republicans to prevent his being impeached or defeated as he seeks reelection for 2020. With gutless stupidity, in that Op-Ed Graham urged his buddy, the President, to invade Venezuela with America's military might to end the CUBAN DOMINANCE of that oil-rich but desperately troubled Latin American nation. Within the bowels of America's two-party political system, all Republicans must bow and literally genuflect daily to the dictates from Little Havana concerning the evisceration of Cuba and putting the Batistianos back in charge of the targeted island.

From a tiny town called Central in South Carolina, Lindsey Graham has been in the U. S. Senate since 2003 and, at age 63, he will stay there another decade or more as long as he bows meekly to the extreme Counter Revolutionaries in Little Havana. That, of course, was what Graham was doing when he wrote that stupid Op-Ed a few days ago in the Wall Street Journal. But, of course, neither sheer stupidity nor advocating more insane U. S. wars for the United States prevents sold-out politicians like Graham from having long and lucrative terms in Washington, and like I said...big-time Republican politicians must sell-out to Little Havana extremists or their careers are doomed. And that's why I say that the United States has been saddled with a Batistiano-style democracy...or dictatorship...virtually since 1959 but surely since the 1980s when the Republican powerhouse known as the Bush Dynasty aligned eternally with the Little Havana extremists.

The gutless, stupid, anti-Democracy, pro-Batistiano Op-Ed that Senator Lindsey Graham wrote in the Wall Street Journal should remind Democracy-loving and peace-loving Americans that they, not the Little Havana Batistianos, should be in charge of the U. S. government, including the Batistiano-directed Republican Party.

The Graham Op-Ed also reminded me that in Spain a smart, decent, democracy-loving, independent-minded young politician like Pedro Sanchez can actually get elected Prime Minister.

As the leader of Spain, Pedro Sanchez resents being told by the Republicans in Washington that his nation can't make its own policies related to Cuba but must do precisely what the Superpower USA tells Spain to do in regards to Cuba. Thus, as the leader of a Democracy that doesn't feel bound by Batistiano dictations, Pedro Sanchez, as shown above, wants to "greatly expand" Spain's political and commercial ties with Cuba. Already, Spain's two internationally powerful hotel chains dominate Cuba's hotel industry. The Batistiano-directed Trump administration recently activated Title 3 of the Batistiano bible known as the Helms-Burton Act that legalizes, from the Batistiano/USA standpoint, legal lawsuits against Spain and all other nations for their dealings in Cuba. Being the democracy-loving leader of a Democracy, Pedro Sanchez, of course, is outraged by the Batistiano control of all Republican administrations in the U. S.

Spain's new Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is a close friend of Cuba's new President Miguel Diaz-Canel. Mr. Sanchez soon after he took office said, "Spain not only will maintain its close political and commercial ties with Cuba, but we will greatly expand it."

In fact, once he became Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez was quick to visit Cuba. In the photo above the Spanish leader is shown being escorted around Havana by Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, Cuban First Lady Lis Cuesta Diaz-Canel, and Havana's famed historian Eusebio Leal. On the plane-flight to Cuba, Pedro Sanchez mused in front of reporters, "The American Republican president can visit and sign deals with the planet's most notorious dictators but a few Miami Cubans would end his presidency if he said hi to Cuba's president? I know Miguel, the island's former Education Minister who was born after the Revolution. He's good man and his wife is a typically sweet Cuban lady. I look forward to being with them more often."

The triumph of the Cuban Revolution was on January 1, 1959...astounding the world. Even more astounding has been the longevity of Revolutionary Cuba, considering that what this graphic calls the "anti-Castro Cuban refugees" have been permitted to hide behind the skirts of the world's Superpower and, in fact, create what amounts to a government on U. S. soil. In doing so, they have exposed the weakness of a two-party democratic system when one party is totally dictated to by "anti-Castro Cuban refugees." When the majority of Americans, including the majority of Cuban-Americans, are too timid or too unpatriotic to successfully oppose that assault on Democracy, it is the overall USA Democracy that is the prime victim, perhaps even more so than the continuously assaulted Cuban people on their island.

And, as it so happened, those are the exact sane sentiments expressed by Spain's democracy-loving, independent-minded Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez during his impromptu session with reporters on his flight to Cuba. He then repeated that sentiment after landing on Cuban soil.

And what exactly were the insane sentiments expressed by Republican Senator-for-life Lindsey Graham in his Wall Street Journal Op-Ed when he urged President Trump to attack Venezuela militarily because that BIG country is controlled by LITTLE Cuba? Well Graham's insane sentiments were intended to appease a handful of Little Havana extremists in Miami and in Congress. The contrasting Pedro Sanchez SANE SENTIMENTS should, I believe, make Americans wonder why the USA is stuck with sold-out incumbent politicians like Lindsey Graham while Spanish voters are free to elect a young, smart, democracy-loving, independent-thinking leader like Pedro Sanchez. Yes, America, our Democracy is in DEEP trouble.

AND SPEAKING OF CUBA'S FIRST LADY:

First Lady Lis Cuesta and President Miguel Diaz-Canel are very popular with everyday Cubans. They are shown here waiting in line like...everyday Cubans. Lis and Miguel may be perplexed about how I know, but she has an interesting tatoo on her back.

Above are two former Cuban First Ladies. On the left is the flamboyant Marta Fernandez Miranda, the wife of Cuba's dictator Fulgencio Batista from 1952 till 1959. On the right is the very private Dalia Soto del Valle, the wife of Cuba's revolutionary leader Fidel Castro from 1980 till he died at age 90 on Nov. 25th, 2016. Fiercely devoted to Fidel, most Cubans didn't even know Dalia was his wife until he became seriously ill in July of 2006 and afterward she was photographed by his side on the increasingly rare occasions when he appeared in public or was at their home hosting foreign leaders. It was then Cubans learned she was Fidel's beloved wife.
