Miami Extremists Unchecked!!
Yet, Many Want Decent Relations:
Yet, Many Want Decent Relations:
Since 1952 when Republicans in the Eisenhower White House -- namely VP Richard Nixon, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and CIA Director Allen Dulles -- sicced the Mafia on Cuba, decent and democracy-loving Americans -- such as Senator Patrick Leahy -- have strongly opposed the USA's thieving and genocidal policies related to Cuba. Since 1959, the year the Cuban Revolution kicked the Batista-Mafia dictators back to U. S. soil -- mostly to Miami and Newark -- right-wing Republicans teaming with Batistiano and Mafiosi exiles have tried mightily to recapture the Caribbean's largest island while, in doing so, engaging in terrorism, the military attack known as the Bay of Pigs, and genocidal assaults on the Cuban people powered by such things as an extremely cruel {but legal} economic embargo, which has existed since 1962. Senator Leahy has represented Vermont in the Senate since 1975 and on Monday, July 29th, 2019 he continued his pursuit to bring decency and sanity to U.S.-Cuban relations. Yesterday Senator Leahy reintroduced a bill in the Senate entitled Freedom for Americans to Travel to Cuba Act of 2019. Senator Leahy Monday was joined by 45 Senate co-sponsors. Identical legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives by Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and Tom Emmer of Minnesota. Yet, as July turns to August in 2019, the Batistianos and their Republican sycophants have continued, decade after decade, to make a mockery of America's democracy while enriching and empowering themselves but, incredibly, still failing to use the unmatched economic and military power of the United States to recapture Cuba. And much to the chagrin of decent Americans like Senator Leahy, the current Trump administration has given a handful of anti-Cuban extremists and benefactors -- Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers, Claver-Carone, Bolton, and Abrams -- the power to enact, on behalf of all Americans, cruel economic and military genocidal sanctions against totally innocent Cubans on the island. Decent Americans, like Senator Leahy, believe that...if any sanctions by a powerful nation against a weaker nation become necessary, THEY SHOULD BE ENACTED BY THE COLLECTIVE WISDOM OF DECENT AMERICANS, not by a handful of self-serving, right-wing rogues.
One of the decent, democracy-loving Americans who fights daily to normalize relations between Cuba and the United States is Emily Mendrala, the Executive Director of the Washington-based Center for Democracy in the Americas. Regarding the latest attempt this week by Senator Leahy and others to cut into the Batistiano-directed Cuban policies of the Trump administration, Emily Mendrala released this statement: "The Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act of 2019 would allow Americans to directly engage with the Cuban people, especially with Cuba's growing private sector. It is time we move past the antiquated laws and policies that have too long divided the U. S. and Cuban people to the detriment of both." Having worked brilliantly both inside and outside the U. S. government as a true Cuban expert, Emily Mendrala's sheer decency and unique knowledge render her the last person right-wing Republicans want to have input regarding Cuban policies. Instead, in that milieu, the Trump administration only allows Counter Revolutionary extremists such as Marco Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers, Mauricio Claver-Carone, John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, and MIKE POMPEO to dictate America's Cuban policies.
The above AP photo should...but won't...alert Americans to the most egregious ongoing acts of the Trump administration -- and that's the current genocide being conducted from Miami and Washington against the innocent Cuban people on the island to appease the non-innocent Cuban extremists in Little Havana, a sector of Miami that has dictated the Republican Party's right-wing greed and mayhem related to Cuba since the 1950s. This photo shows U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo a few days ago...on July 26, 2019...making yet another genocidal declaration against Cuba on behalf of President Trump...and thus ON BEHALF of America's 325 million intimidated or propagandized people. Instead of addressing urgent threats or concerns of Americans, Pompeo above was declaring that Cubans could expect "Further sanctions!!" Assuming the American people are too ignorant or too afraid to object, Pompeo repeatedly threatens Cubans on the island with "further sanctions" to keep Little Havana denizens like Marco Rubio and the Diaz-Balart brothers HAPPY. Of course, Pompeo and the other right-wing thugs in charge of Cuban torture HAVE ALREADY imposed genocidal starvation actions against Cuba's everyday children, women, and men.
Although even the mainstream U. S. media that spends most of its time trying to impeach Trump is too afraid to say so, this photo represents the prime reason Trump, indeed, should be impeached or at least voted out of office in the 2020 election. It shows one of his trips to Little Havana in Miami in which he promised Miami's Counter Revolutionary extremists everything they wanted -- and what they want is to recapture Cuba while, in the meantime, continuing to rake in incredible amounts of tax dollars and Executive Actions related to enriching themselves and destroying Revolutionary Cuba once and for all. The bald-headed and bald-faced man standing directly over Trump is extreme Batistiano sycophant Rick Scott who is flanked on his left by Little Havana stalwart Marco Rubio and on his right by another Little Havana stalwart Mario Diaz-Balart, son of a former key Minister in the Batista dictatorship. The moral of the ABOVE PHOTO is this: A U. S. democracy and a mainstream U. S. media that doesn't have the strength to properly process this domestic image to the American people is far more dangerous to America than the combined FOREIGN challenges represented by Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
Since 1962 the United States has imposed history's all-time longest and cruelest economic embargo that has ever targeted a population in a much smaller and weaker nation by a large, powerful nation. From 1962 till today in 2019 the embargo has sated the greedy, revengeful appetites of two generations of extremist exiles who fled the brutal U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship in January of 1959 after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. Scared, propagandized Americans have successfully been programmed not to be embarrassed by the above international image...nor by such things as the 191-to-0 condemnation of the embargo in the worldwide vote in the UN in 2016, the last year of the decent Obama administration.
And Americans since 1996 have been too afraid or too ignorant to comprehend the meaning of the above image. In 1996 the most extreme Counter Revolutionaries in Little Havana...Canosa, the Diaz-Balarts, Ros-Lehtinen, etc...rammed through the U. S. Congress the infamous Helms-Burton Act. It had and has TWO PURPOSES: {1} To create millionaires and billionaires among selected Little Havana leaders; and {2} to so severely punish Cubans on the island that they would be forced to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government and accept a return of the Batistiano-Mafiosi element that had brutalized and ransacked the island from 1952 till 1959. The first purpose of Helms-Burton, GREED, has been realized. But, incredibly, its second goal remains a work-in-progress because, obviously, there have been...for all these decades...enough Cubans on the island who know or remember the Batistiano-Mafiosi rule from long ago -- 1952 till 1959. While Americans have been forced to accept Helms-Burton, only since June of 2019 -- last month...has the Little Havana bible, as shown above, had the skull attached to it...and for a damn good reason!! In June of 2019 the Trump Batistianos enacted Helms-Burton Title 3, which even the Batistiano-aligned George W. Bush presidency refused to enact because of its extreme cruelty and greed. The image below shows that the Trump Batistianos are currently stirring a boiling pot of Helms-Burton Title 3 extremes.
As referenced by the above graphic, when a handful of self-serving Batistiano-Republican right-wing rogues can write and legalize their own lucrative but genocidal American laws, and then keep HEATING AND STIRRING THEM UP decade after decade, perhaps the Batistiano-Mafiosi exiles are doing much more harm to America than to Cuba. And as referenced above, the long-standing and immovable Helms-Burton Act, which legalizes enormous wealth for a handful of shady Cuban extremists in the U. S. while exacting GENOCIDAL PUNISHMENT for innocent Cubans in Cuba, is quite flagrantly the cruelest and most anti-democratic legislation ever associated with the United States of America. And even with great men like Senator Leahy and great women like Emily Mendrala, the heralded U. S. democracy is simply not strong enough to deal with the sickening image displayed by the above graphic. To stir up the above genocide related to Cuba, note in the above graphic that the Batistiano-directed U. S. government is reading from the Batistiano bible -- HELMS-BURTON!!!
AND SPEAKING OF SENATOR LEAHY:
On his frequent trips to Cuba, Senator Patrick Leahy always met with Cardinal Jaime Ortega, who died at age 83 in Havana on July 26th, 2019. On his Senate website Mr. Leahy posted the above photo of his last meeting with the beloved Cardinal Ortega, a man who fought every day from the 1950s till the day he died to normalize relations between Cuba and the United States. While there are many other great Americans and Cubans like Senator Leahy and Cardinal Ortega, it remains true that a mere handful of greedy, non-great individuals can dictate, decade AFTER decade, America's egregious and genocidal Cuban policies.
