Canada Visits Again!!
Canada's Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland will be back in Havana next week to meet with her counterpart, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez. Her aim is to get concessions from Cuba that will help calm the grave Venezuelan crisis, which Ms. Freeland acknowledges is being unfairly used by the United States to exact harsh new sanctions on the everyday Cuban people. Canada has a history of almost always treating Revolutionary Cuba fairly, and Cuba responds accordingly as a friend.
Canada's Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland and Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez are friends and trust each other. In their next meeting next week in Havana, they will have disagreements regarding Venezuela but at least they will talk about them and mutually agree to make concessions. Since 1959 all six Republican administrations -- from Eisenhower to Trump -- have refused to talk with Cuba, believing that ANY DAY NOW the United States will regain the dominance of Cuba that it held from 1898 {after the Spanish-American War} till 1959 {when the Cuban Revolution chased the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship to its new headquarters, Little Havana in nearby Miami}.
This photo reflects a high-ranking Cuban, Bruno Rodriguez, having a recent and official public meeting with a high-ranking Canadian, Chrystia Freeland. Since 1959, except for the brave and decent two-term Democratic Obama presidency, the U. S. democracy has simply not been strong enough to engage in discussions with Cuba. In 2019 the Republican Trump administration is currently engaged in multiple highest-level talks with the North Korean dictator Kim, with the Taliban leaders in Afghanistan, etc., etc., but the one little harmless nation the United States is not allowed to talk to is Cuba. That is so because since 1959 the U. S. democracy has been severely altered by remnants of Cuba's ousted Batista-Mafia dictatorship.
Next week, when Bruno Rodriguez and Chrystia Freeland meet once again in Havana, they will be able to speak frankly and importantly for their two countries, Cuba and Canada. A U. S. democracy that is not permitted to do the same is a U. S. democracy that is not as strong or as respected as it was prior to the 1959 Cuban Revolution.
Instead of having a fair-minded, smart diplomat that could engage with Cuba, the current Trump administration has three anti-Cuban imperialist war-mongering zealots -- Elliott Abrams, Mike Pompeo, and John Bolton -- in ultra-powerful positions seemingly capable of eviscerating even everyday Cubans on the island. If that sounds like an exaggeration, it is not!! For decades the Bush dynasty was totally aligned economically and politically with the Cuban-American extremists in Miami...but even the George W. Bush administration refused to activate Title 3 of the cruel Helms-Burton Act because even Bush considered it to be too cruel and genocidal against totally innocent Cubans on the island. Yet, in June-2019 the Trump administration -- goaded by the likes of Abrams, Pompeo, and Bolton -- ACTIVATED TITLE 3 OF HELMS-BURTON, which attempts to literally starve Cubans by eliminating its export-import trade.
From 1962 until today -- in late August of 2019 -- Cuba has called the U. S. embargo "HISTORY'S ALL-TIME GREATEST GENOCIDAL BLOCKADE."
Since Little Havana in Miami back in June-2019 persuaded its puppet, President Trump, to activate Title 3 of Helms-Burton, it is hard to dispute Cuba's "genocidal" claims against the United States of America.
Even the left-wing mainstream U. S. media trying so hard to impeach Trump is too afraid to mention Trump's most egregious act, which was to anoint Miami's and Little Havana's "Little Marco" as the Cuban dictator on U. S. soil.
As a U. S. Senator from Little Havana/Miami, Marco Rubio's dictation of America's Cuban policies while Trump is President is totally unchecked because the 535-member U. S. Congress is simply too afraid to oppose him. In the photo above via live C-SPAN coverage, Rubio is shown approving the Senate confirmation of Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State. Every journalist and politician in Washington knows that Rubio has amassed a WHO'S WHO of extreme anti-Cuban Counter Revolutionary zealots as top Cuban and foreign policy advisers to President Trump -- including Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, Mauricio Claver-Carone, etc., ete., etc. The self-serving "Little Marco" is probably the last person in America who should be dictating any U. S. President's foreign policy applied to Cuba or ANY OTHER country.
You should remember..........
.................and take time to read or re-read what Washington's best investigative journalist, Ken Silverstein, wrote in his unchallenged and lengthy essay minutely defining Marco Rubio. It concluded that Rubio was "head and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it came to dishonesty, corruption, and chicanery." That is in the first paragraph, after which the respected Ken Silverstein revealed a plethora of names, dates, and events to eerily substantiate his opening salvo.
And be sure to remember............
..................that the Progreso Weekly is published in Rubio's hometown of Miami and its editor is respected journalist Alfaro Hernandez. In the graphic above, the Progreso Weekly depicted Rubio as "Trumpified" with a Pinocchio nose. But more to the point, the Progreso Weekly said Rubio is "USING LANGUAGE OF DEMOCRACY TO SUBVERT DEMOCRACY." And, yes, this is the TRUMPIFIED Marco Rubio who is now in charge of what many consider to be the HELMS-BURTON TITLE 3 GENOCIDE AGAINST INNOCENT CUBANS ON THE ISLAND TO APPEASE RUBIO'S MENTORS IN LITTLE HAVANA. And, yes, as a Democracy-loving American, I agree with the Progreso Weekly that Rubio "is using the language of Democracy to subvert Democracy."
THEREFORE, the Canadian Democracy next week has the freedom to send a top diplomat, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, back to Havana to have a sane and frank diplomatic discussion with Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez. In contrast, the American Democracy during a Republican administration such as Trump's does not have such freedom. And that sad insult to DEMOCRACY is meekly accepted by the mainstream U. S. media and by 325 million propagandized and intimidated U. S. citizens.
