Getting To Know Cuba

Let Me TELL YOU How To!!
{Sunday, August 11th, 2019}
     The photo above was posted on Friday, August 9, 2019, atop the Facebook page of Tracey Eaton. He captioned it with this interesting sentence: "Check out the flights heading from Miami to Havana." YES, INDEED!! You should check out everything Tracey Eaton writes, says, or shows about U.S.-Cuba relations. He is, you see, BY FAR America's best and fairest journalistic expert when it comes to reporting on the tumultuous and important U.S.-Cuba conundrum, a relationship that says a whole lot about Cuba but even more about the superpower United States of America. With that photo above, Mr. Eaton is reminding us that the 90+-miles separating Havana in Cuba from Little Havana is Miami is not very far at all...even though a handful of Counter Revolutionaries in Little Havana with their tight grips around the throat of the Trump administration believe they can now starve 11.2 million Cubans on the island to pave the way for, at LONG LAST, their recapture of Cuba, which slipped away from them way back in 1959 when the long-shot Cuban Revolution overthrew the brutal U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship. Even while Little Havana stalwarts in Miami are trying to starve Cubans on the island into submission, as Mr. Eaton shows above, at any given time the commercial airplane flights from Miami to Cuba are both numerous and crowded. Count the flights ticketed "On Time" just at "5:34 P. M., Friday, August 9, 2019." I bet you didn't know that was happening...because since January of 1959 Little Havana has dictated the Cuban narrative in the U. S. and because it has recently and successfully dictated to President Trump Little Havana's desire to starve Cubans on the island by shutting off all imports and exports to-and-from the island.
            For sure, during any Republican administration in Washington Little Havana in Miami has had a noose around Cuba, which is the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island nation. Also, Cuba is probably the Caribbean nation with the most potential, economically and politically.
       Indeed, because Cuba has always...since 1492...been the Pearl of the Antilles, it has also been one of the world's most coveted island nations by imperialist powers -- especially Spain first of all but, since the 1898 Spanish-American War, by the United States. The U. S. domination of Cuba lasted from 1898 till 3:00 A. M. on January 1, 1959, when the Cuban Revolution chased the Batista-Mafia leaders to their new capital, Little Havana in Miami. For six-plus decades Little Havana, supported by the superpower USA, has tried every tactic in the imperialist book to recapture Cuba -- including the 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack; a record number of assassination attempts; terror bombings that included the civilian airplane Cubana Flight 455, killing all on board; car-bombings that settled internecine squabbles among Little Havana Counter Revolutionaries; a message-sending car-bombing that silenced Emilio Milian,  the bravest and most popular Cuban-American journalist who criticized Little Havana terrorism against innocent Cubans; etc., etc.
     From 1962 till today the U. S. has imposed history's all-time cruelest and longest economic embargo...a blockade...ever imposed by a powerful nation against a much weaker nation. But only the Trump administration, by activating Title 3 of the infamous Helms-Burton Act, has powered the word "genocide"/"genocidio" into being CORRECTLY applied to how the Little Havana-directed Trump administration is currently targeting Cubans on the island. And, folks, as a Democracy-loving American, I don't believe the word "genocide" should ever be attached to America's targeting of millions of innocent people in a small nation.
       Indeed, Little Havana and the Trump administration have teamed to add a skull and bones definition to the Helms-Burton Act that Little Havana rammed through the U. S. Congress "LEGALLY" and {supposedly} permanently in 1996. It since, first off, has created a plethora of Cuban-American millionaires and billionaires but...somehow...has failed to recapture Havana for Little Havana.
    Ensconced deep within the bowels of the U. S. democracy, Little Havana in Miami is able to dip deeply into the U. S. treasury {tax dollars} because, to be precisely honest, the mainstream U. S. media is too afraid to challenge or report fairly on the dictates of Little Havana USA. Sadly, that includes the ultra-rich-and-powerful left-wing media that is obsessed with impeaching and eliminating Trump -- a media that includes billionaire-backed enterprises such as NBC, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, the NY Times, and the Washington Post.
     And that brings us back around to PRECISELY WHY you should get to know Tracey Eaton, who published the photo this week atop his Facebook page about all those flights leaving Miami for Cuba. Mr. Eaton is BY FAR America's best expert on U.S.-Cuba relations. He has been stationed as a key journalist in Cuba; he is now a beloved journalism Professor in Florida; and in his long career he has never been accused by either side of being biased in favor of or opposed to either the U. S. or Cuba. He merely continues to report the facts and let others judge them. Just about every notable national and Florida news source -- from NBC News to USA Today to current Eaton articles in the Tampa Bay Times, etc, etc, etc. -- has depended on Mr. Eaton for the very best reporting on U.S.-Cuban issues.
       As America's greatest journalistic expert on U.S.-Cuba relations, Tracey Eaton recognizes that Little Havana's very intense and very successful greed for U. S. tax dollars is the fundamental goal that fuels the persistent Little Havana engine. Therefore, if you are not familiar with Mr. Eaton's must-read blog CUBA MONEY PROJECT.com then I am convinced you have no idea how huge is the steady pipeline of otherwise UNEXPLAINED tax dollars THAT FLOW EVERY SINGLE DAY FROM WASHINGTON TO MIAMI. In fifteen or so recent articles that originated on CUBA MONEY PROJECT.com, Mr. Eaton reveals RIGHT DOWN TO THE PENNY the millions or billions of tax dollars that have flowed and are flowing DAILY from Washington to the most controversial Little Havana projects and individuals in Miami. Mr. Eaton is precise regarding those uncontested figures because he is the one who gets his data from the reluctant U. S. government via the Freedom of Information Act and other pertinent and definitive sources. Indeed, both Democracy-lovers {like me} and Taxpayers {including you} should get to know Professor Tracey Eaton and his very valuable CUBA MONEY PROJECT.com blog.
