Trump's LIES About Cuba

The Lies Shame America
{UPDATED: Tuesday, August 13th, 2019}

      This is Juan Gonzalez. He is President of Cuba's state-run Corporation Cuba Run. Juan just proved that both England and France are willing to help Cuba defy the USA Trump administration's all-out effort to strangle the island's economy. Juan signed a deal with England's giant spirits company Diageo to sell Cuba's prized Santiago Cuba Rum. It's a BIG deal because Diageo made $14 billion last year and owns such worldwide brands as Johnny Walker. A French company, Pernard Ricard, already sells Havana Club Rum in an important partnership with Cuba. Regarding the new contract in England, Juan Gonzalez said, "We are grateful to England, which is our friend and also is America's friend, as it should be. Santiago Cuba Rum is an expression of Cuba's people and part of our culture."

       In the photo above a Cuban is pointing to a Royal Caribbean cruise ship leaving Havana Harbor on June 5-2019 as he and his friends discuss the latest genocidal assault by the USA's Trump administration on everyday, totally innocent Cubans who deserve the right to support their families. The day before -- on June 4-2019 -- the Trump administration, as a part of its starvation tactics, had blocked cruise ships from stopping off in Cuba. This photo illustrates this week's very best article updating the prime reason Trump and a handful of Cuban-American extremists should be held accountable for such genocide. The article appears in the Los Angeles Times and is written by Mimi Whitefield. It is entitled: "CUBA FEELS THE PINCH OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS."

         A long-time Latin American expert for the Miami Herald, Mimi Whitefield's aforementioned August 11-2019 article is also headlined in the Los Angeles Times. Trump's current genocide against everyday Cubans is to appease Counter Revolutionary extremists from Little Havana in Miami, such as Marco Rubio and the Diaz-Balart brothers, because Trump covets Florida's 29 Electoral Votes leading into his possible 2020 re-election. While most of the mainstream U. S. media, including the left-wing anti-Trump zealots, are too afraid of Little Havana to report fairly on Trump's most egregious sin...genocide against innocent Cubans...Mimi Whitefield, the Miami Herald, and the Los Angeles Times are among sources with more guts and integrity. In this article, which I encourage you to dial up and read in its entirety, Mimi Whitefield mocks every Trump lie regarding why he commits genocide against everyday Cubans. For example, Rosa Isabel Hernandez Pina, as Ms. Whitefield points out, is the typical Cuban being targeted by Trump and Little Havana. Thanks to the decency of President Obama prior to Trump's indecency, Rosa Isabel opened a thriving restaurant in picturesque Vinales Valley and she took pride in how its robust earnings provided for her family. Her main clients were tourists, many of them Americans, who arrived on cruise ships. The Royal Caribbean cruise ship shown above that left Havana on June 5th was the last one Cuba has seen because on June 4-2019 Trump, at the behest of Little Havana, activated Title 3 of the cruel Helms-Burton Act, something that Little Havana could not even persuade President George W. Bush to activate because of its extreme genocidal acts against innocent Cubans as well as its bullying demands against other nations to stop dealing with Cuba. Rosa Isabel and her children comprise the typical family targeted in Cuba by Trump and Little Havana.

     When Senator Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump say that the above conclusion is not so, they are lying.

      This photo shows a Cuban girl wrapped in a U. S. flag watching a cruise ship enter Havana Harbor back when the United States had a decent and brave President, Mr. Obama, who challenged Little Havana's long genocide against innocent Cubans like this girl.

     On his brave and historic visit to Cuba, President Obama promised the Cuban people on statewide television and radio that "Cuba does not need to fear a threat from the United States." Of course, the two-term Democratic President Obama, when he made that solemn promise on behalf of the American people, didn't anticipate he would be succeeded by another Republican President who takes his Cuban orders directly from Counter Revolutionary Cuban-American extremists.

      Cuba has renovated its capital building in Havana in time to celebrate this year's 500th anniversary of the island's official existence. Surely, one of the most shameful things about Rubio and Trump being allowed to commit genocide against innocent Cubans in the name of the United States of America is this stark fact: Most of the mainstream U. S. media and most of America's 323 million citizens simply don't have the guts to challenge Republican administrations or Little Havana even as they commit genocide against helpless people in a small nation. Yet, of course, those sanctimonious media cowards and those sanctimonious citizens are quick to condemn China or Russia or some other powerful nation for being perceived or even merely suspected of committing genocide against people in a much weaker nation.

      The infamous Helms-Burton Act in 1996 legalized cruelty against innocent Cubans on the island and also created extreme wealth in Miami's Little Havana corridor when it, as noted above, "STRENGTHENED THE U. S. BLOCKADE OF CUBA." That blockade, or economic embargo, has existed from 1962 till today -- AUGUST OF 2019.  Its genocidal dictates were activated on June 4th-2019 by the Rubio-dictated Trump administration, and it has been done with barely a whimper from the gutless mainstream media and the gutless U. S. citizenry. Prior to 1962, prior to 1996, and prior to June 4th-2019 the United States of America had the world's greatest Democracy. And that's why, in August of 2019, the Caribbean island of Cuba says a helluva lot more about the United States than it says about Cuba itself.
