This photo of Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel shows him listening to Cubans reacting to his speech yesterday -- June 14, 2019 -- at the closing session of the National Association of Economists and Accountants {ANEC}. President Diaz-Canel, Cuba's former Education Minister, had used his speech to address what he considers the Trump administration's "concerted effort to starve our people, our children, even more than previous Republican rulers in the U. S. have done." He added, "Cuba will never renounce its ambition to be prosperous and sustainable regardless of imperialist America. We need the talent and contributions of our economists and accountants to keep a superpower from starving and depriving our children as a means to defeat us."
The Seattle-based travel giant Expedia this week -- June 13, 2019 -- agreed to pay the Trump administration $325,406 because it assisted travel to Cuba that violated U.S. sanctions that are now designed by President Trump to completely strangle the Cuban economy to appease a handful of Counter Revolutionary extremists. These new actions provided further indication that only vicious extremists led by Marco Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers Mario and Lincoln, and Mauricio Claver-Carone are in total control in using the Trump presidency to recapture Cuba. Because of Cuba's uniqueness related to the USA's foreign policies, not even the intimidated mainstream left-wing U. S. media that is viciously anti-Trump is allowed to question the extremely greedy and revengeful motives of the small clan now dominating Trump's Cuban genocide. For example, it is not politically or socially correct...or healthy...to inform the American people that such Little Havana stalwarts in Miami as the Diaz-Balart brothers are the sons of Rafael Diaz-Balart who was a key Minister in the Batista dictatorship until he fled the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959 to become one of the richest and most powerful Counter Revolutionary zealots on U. S. soil.
Because Counter Revolutionary Cubans based in Miami have virtually dictated the Cuban narrative in the U. S. since 1959, Americans are not supposed to comprehend historic photos like the one above...but it's a precursor to why the Trump administration in June of 2019 can starve Cubans on the island. This trio of fierce officials in the Batista dictatorship were attending a political rally in the southeastern town of Chivirico, Sierra Maestra, in 1958. In the middle is Rafael Diaz-Balart and he is flanked by Rodolfo Masferrer on the left and Rolando Masferrer on the right. Rafael was a key Batista Minister and the Masferrer brothers headed the famed and the feared Masferrer Tigers, the army unit that brutally assaulted any individuals or groups of Cubans even remotely suspected of opposing the Batista-Mafia dictatorship. {Please understand, when I post photos like this and describe them, if you question it I expect you to GOGGLE the authenticity of the photo and what I said about it. So, by all means, Google "Rafael Diaz-Balart" and "The Masferrer Tigers"...because all three of these men are typical of the Batista rulers in Cuba who in 1959 fled to Miami and instantaneously became rich and powerful Counter Revolutionary forces. Rafael Diaz-Balart was born in Banes, Cuba, in 1926 -- the same year Fidel Castro was born close by. Fidel died at age 90 in Havana in 2016 and Rafael died in South Florida in 2005. But Rafael's sons to this day in Miami and in the U. S. Congress are fierce and unchecked anti-Castro zealots like their father}.
The photo above shows Rafael Diaz-Balart flanked by his four sons at a point they were in the top echelon of Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami. On the left above is a rich banker and second from the right is a News Anchor at NBC, MSNBC, and Telemundo. Second from the left is Havana-born Lincoln Diaz-Balart and on the far-right is Mario Diaz-Balart. For the past two decades either Lincoln or Mario or both at the same time have represented Miami in the U. S. Congress as fierce Counter-Revolutionary Cuban-Americans. This photo, truth be known, reflects the fact that starting in 1959 money from the ousted Batista dictatorship in Cuba totally overwhelmed South Florida first and then, thanks to fierce connections to the Republican Party {especially the Bush dynasty}, such rich and powerful Cuban-Americans eventually overwhelmed Washington and particularly the U. S. Congress...resulting in fiercely lucrative and unstoppable laws such as the Embargo, the Torricelli Bill, the Helms-Burton Act, Radio-TV Marti, etc., etc. Yes, indeed!! Recapturing Cuba and punishing Cubans on the island has always been priorities of Batistiano-loving U. S. Cubans. But, as in Cuba back in the 1950s, money appears to be THE top priority.
Expedia's forced capitulation to Trump's genocide against Cuba on June 13-2019 is meant to send dire warnings to all other companies in the U. S. and the world not to oppose the superpower USA's efforts to totally strangle Cuba's economy once and for all by stifling tourism to the island. The Trump administration on June 13th stupidly and grossly admitted that Expedia's sanction violations ended in 2014, back when the USA's president was the decent Barack Obama. Additionally, the Trump administration also stated that Expedia violated U. S. laws against Cuba that had been "in effect since 1963." That idiotic quote reminds the world that the U. S. genocidal actions against revolutionary Cuba have been "IN EFFECT" for six decades BUT still have not recaptured the pugnacious island for generations of Batistiano-exiles headquartered in Miami's Little Havana section. Of course, neither intelligence nor decency have ever been prerequisites for a handful of Little Havana exiles to totally dominate all Republican administrations since 1959. Today's Expedia capitulation is confirmation that the Republican Trump is merely a tool of Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers, Claver-Carone, etc., with most Cuban-Americans and most Americans being non-factors within the bowels of the U. S. democracy when it comes to Cuba.
A branch of the U. S. Treasury Department -- OFAC, the Office of Foreign Assets Control -- is busy leveling fines against companies believed to be aiding tourism to Cuba. This week on June 13-2019 I personally received a Treasury Department email detailing that very SUCCESSFUL fine against Expedia. But then that email continued with these words: "OFAC today separately announced a $222,705 settlement with Hotelbeds USA, Inc. Hotelbeds USA, incorporated in Florida, is a U. S. subsidiary of Hotelbeds Group, headquartered in Mallorca, Spain. Hotelbeds USA has agreed o pay $222,705 to settle its potential civil liability for assisting persons with unauthorized Cuba-related travel services. OFAC today also separately announced a $40,320 civil settlement with an individual and Cubasphere, Inc..." Such fines are paid by companies who desire to do future business related to the USA, which exerts enormous influence worldwide because it is the world's economic superpower. The U. S. economic embargo against little Cuba has existed since 1962 and somehow it has survived until at least June of 2019, something that PERHAPS very few much larger countries could have survived under such sanctions for six decades.
Of course, sanctions and fines and a lot of other things against Cuba have been integral facets of the USA's financial, political, and military landscape for six decades and counting. That is not likely to cease or be restricted as long as a few Counter Revolutionaries in Miami and in the U. S. Congress or the Republican White Houses are unhappy about the revolutionary rule in Cuba. Meanwhile, as indicated above by the June 13-2019 proliferation of successful sanction-inspired fines, there are a lot of Cuban-American lawyers in Miami and in Washington who longed for President Trump to activate Title 3 of the Helms-Burton Act. Title 3 had long been viewed as an absolute Gold Mine for Counter Revolutionary extremists IF they could get a Republican president to activate it. And, of course, President Trump on behalf of extremists in Little Havana {Miami} activated Title 3 of Helms-Burton.
This photo taken by Jim Young for Reuters illustrates precisely why many believe the Trump administration's activation of Helms-Burton's Title 3 will finally starve Cuba into total collapse followed by a quick submission to Little Havana zealots. As indicated above, the U. S. Treasury Department's OFAC division is busy levying all those sanction-fines designed to totally strangle Cuba's economy while, of course, enriching and empowering already rich and powerful Cuban-American Counter Revolutionaries. At the podium pointing above is Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. Standing silently with the pad and pencil is the EXTREMELY OMINOUS and threatening John Bolton, who is easily the most renowned war-monger in Washington's recent history. Dating back to the George W. Bush presidency, Bolton has famously and frantically advocated a regime-change in Cuba. Now as Trump's National Security Adviser, Bolton apparently has the clearance to put his dear BAY OF PIGS/BRIGADE 2506 friends in Miami back in charge of Cuba. In the photo above, Bolton's stoic but scary presence seems to be well understood by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.
President Obama in 2016 became the first U. S. President to visit Cuba since Herbert Hoover arrived on a warship in 1928.
While in Cuba President Obama made it a salient point to tell the people: "Cuba does not need to fear a threat from the United States." When the brave and decent Obama, a Democrat, sincerely spoke those words, he did not anticipate that he would be succeeded by another Republican president, Trump, totally controlled by a mere handful of self-serving and greedy Cuban-Americans. The Obama-to-Trump transition, as personified by the island of Cuba, reflects a dire weakness of America's two-party political system within the basic fabrics and precious pillars of the world's Superpower Democracy. This week -- June 13, 2019 -- the Expedia headlines related to the Trump administration's genocide against innocent people on a vulnerable nearby island genuinely reflects why the U. S. support of the thieving and brutal Batista-Mafia dictators in Cuba back in the 1950s was WRONG and undemocratic and the USA's cowardly tolerance of the Trump genocide against innocent Cubans in June of 2019 is also WRONG and undemocratic.
Since the 1950s the only U. S. President with both the guts and the decency to challenge Little Havana's dictation of America's Cuban policies has been President Obama.
But with OBAMA now having been replaced as President by TRUMP, there is not a single person in the world, including the Miami denizens in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress, that can deny that the above image by Carlos LaTuff LaTuff is how decent people the world over view the USA's unstoppable genocide against the island of Cuba.
