And How Little Marco Got Big!!
This is a well-known liberal journalist and researcher named Lauren Kaori Gurley. These days the mainstream media in the United States has correctly earned the moniker of "Fake News" with powerful sources such as CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, the NY Times, and the Washington Port no longer engaged in reporting or researching news. Any unbiased viewer or reader is abundantly aware...hour-after-hour and day-and-day...that these mainstream sources are masquerading as dispensers of journalism when they are only concerned with spewing out propaganda, such as the left-wingers only supporting an exhausting anti-Trump coup while the less-powerful right-wing media is absorbed with supporting Trump's teetering presidency at all costs. That milieu spotlights and highlights non-Fake News journalists such as Lauren Kaori Gerley who actually research and report important news not related to the anti-democratic coup that roils not only America's politics but also, many everyday Americans believe, is far more dangerous to both America and Democracy than Trump is. Mr. Gerley's article makes and documents this statement: "HOW THE SENATOR FROM FLORIDA WENT FROM BEING 'LIDDLE MARCO' TO DICTATING U. S. FOREIG POLICY IN LATIN AMERICA."
With that preamble, I suggest that you check out Lauren Kaori Gurley this week actually engaging in journalism, not Fake News, regarding an important issue. In a well researched and written article, Ms. Gurley explained how and why a lightweight politician named Marco Rubio has been anointed the Batista-like Cuban dictator on U. S. soil by President Trump. As such, Rubio's allegiance to a handful of rich and powerful Counter Revolutionaries in Miami/Little Havana is using the Trump presidency not just to recapture Revolutionary Cuba but also to reshape Latin America by using America's economic and military prowess to persuade former pro-Cuba nations like Brazil, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, etc. to become anti-Cuban nations bowing to or partnering with the Super Power-might of the United States.
The insightful and truthful article by Lauren Kaori Gurley used the above AP/Joe Raedle photo to illustrate her non-Fake News article how a flyweight politician like Marco Rubio is able to use the Trump presidency to not only to exalt as the USA's Cuban dictator but also to reshape the political landscape in Latin America. Of course, Trump's rational relates to his belief that he believe the extremist Cuban exiles who control Miami/Little Havana will reward him with Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes for his re-election on November 3rd, 2020. Also, Ms. Gurley's article explains that, along with Rubio's anointment by Trump, Cuba's USA Little Havana dictator greatly is aided by the mainstream U. S. media's overall concentration on the coup revolving around the White House, as well as the media's fear of Little Havana extremists as it ignores what is happening in Latin America,. It is a Latin American that Rubio envisions as being fully anti-Cuban and, perhaps, once-again backed by U.S.-backed right-wing dictators like the brutal Batista, Trujillo, Somoso, Pinochet, etc., etc. Rubio, of course, is controlling untold amounts of U. S. tax dollars as Little Havana's Cuban dictator and it appears "Little Marco" doesn't worry about a few Civil Wars or Revolutionaries that might ensue.
Every mainstream journalist in Washington is well aware that "Little" Marco Rubio is taking advantage of the Trump presidency to dictate "U. S. POLICY TOWARDS CUBA" but that power has also evolved into Rubio believing he can use the USA's economic and military power to create regime-changes in pro-Cuban nations throughout Latin America.
For example, this airplane that landed this weekend at Jose Marti International Airport in Havana is viewed by Cubans as an offshoot of Marco Rubio's regime-change obsessions in Latin America. This plane just arrived from La Paz to return Cuban doctors and nurses home after they were booted out of Bolivia after what Cuba, Mexico, and other nations consider a coup that ousted another pro-Cuba President.

This photo shows Cuban doctors and nurses after their plane arrived this weekend in Havana from La Paz after they were kicked out of Bolivia after the U.S./Rubio-backed new leaders chased pro-Cuban President Evo Morales to asylum in Mexico. The U. S. and Rubio used targeting Cuban medical workers in foreign countries as a part of the concerted all-out effort to totally strangle the Cuban economy. While the mainstream U. S. media will report such news, the London-based Reuters News Agency this week has a major article written by Daniel Ramos entitled "BOLIVIA BLAMES CUBA FOR STIRRING UNREST." In that article you will see this exact sentence, a sentence that the U. S. media is too afraid to publish: "The Caribbean island nation has a respected health services system and generates export earnings by sending more than 50,000 health workers to more than 60 countries." Those doctors and nurses are vital because they work with the extremely poor and underserved regions of those countries. The U. S. and Rubio couldn't care about such poor people because totally strangling Cuba's economy is Little Havana's priority. Thus, victims are poor Bolivians and others who need the skill and dedication of Cuban doctors and nurses like the ones above booted out of Bolivia after the coup that overthrew another pro-Cuban Latin American President, this tine Evo Morales.
The new leader in Bolivia is Jeanne Anez, obviously a Rubio-like President in Latin America. It was Anez who quickly did Little Havana's bidding by kicking over 700 Cubans out of Bolivia, mostly doctors and nurses.
Opposition leaders in Latin America like Jeanine Anez in Bolivia appear to look at Little Havana in Miami as their ticket to power. Evo Morales had been the pro-Cuban President of Bolivia since 2006 and believed he had been elected to another term on Oct. 20-2019, but the U. S., Little Havana, the Organization of Latin American States and others said the election was fraudulent and even some Morales supporters believed he had held onto power too long. But the reputation of the U. S. backing bloody Latin American coups...at least until recently...has resonated for decades, such as the Nixon-Kissinger coup in 1973 that killed the legally and democratically elected President Salvador Allende to make the ultra-brutal U.S.-backed General Pinochet Chile's murderous dictator for 17 bloody years. In other words, if Jeanine Anez aspires to the presidency of Bolivia, she should gain it via an election, not a coup. And what's more, it is the people of Bolivia that should determine their President via an honest election. The U. S. should not dictate Bolivia's election process any more than Russia should not dictate America's!!
Today -- Saturday, November 16th, 2019 -- happens to be the 500th anniversary of Havana's birth on November 16, 1519. It also is the day that a planeload of Cuban doctors and nurses arrived back in Havana after a regime-change in Bolivia where the overthrown Evo Morales had been the pro-Cuban President since 2006. It keeps with a trend that will likely continue as long Donald Trump is President of the United States. Prior to Bolivia, even Latin America's richest and largest nation, Brazil, has gone from being a powerful pro-Cuban government to one led by an extreme right-wing and pro-USA/pro Little Havana President named Jair Bolsonaro, who quickly booted all Cuban doctors and nurses out of Brazil. After last week's regime-change in Bolivia, everyone not hiding under rocks is aware that Trump-Rubio-and-Little Havana envision upcoming regime-changes in Venezuela and Nicaragua as the last two steps to the most-desire regime-change, the one in Cuba. Some say that might occur even as Havana celebrates its 500th birthday throughout this month of November-2019.
The overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba by U.S.-backed Cuban exiles headquartered in Miami's Little Havana sector HAS BEEN PREDICTED ALMOST DAILY since January of 1959. But the Little Havana-backed right-wing government of Donald Trump in the United States, now joined at the hip by the Little Havana-backed right-wing government of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, clearly gives Little Havana a powerful chance to finally recapture Cuba. Somehow, Revolutionary Cuba has warded off the United States, the world Superpower, for over six decades. But now for the first time Latin America's Superpower Brazil has joined forces with Little Havana and the United States to finally predicate the demise of Revolutionary Cuba, which would be the most influential regime-change in Latin America since the U.S.-related 1973 Allende-Pinochet coup changed the regional landscape, an event that still reminds many that the U. S. prefers U.S.-friendly dictators like Pinochet to democratically elected Presidents like Allende because dictators tend to sell-off more of their nations' resources to foreign Superpowers than Democracy-elected President will. Yes, when both Trump & Bolsonaro this year gave simultaneous THUMPS UP to a regime-change in Cuba, Little Havana had every reason it would happen while Trump remains President of the United States.
The Pinochet nexus with Kissinger TO THIS DAY resonates throughout Latin America far more than it does in the USA. Such things BARELY SCAR the legacies of people like Kissinger WHILE ALSO sanitizing the U. S. legacies of sordid dictators like Pinochet...or Batista, Trujillo, Somoso, Videla, etc. which are often white-washed from the USA's Latin American history. An honest rendering about the Americans who aligned the United States' democracy to dictators like Pinochet and Batista would perhaps temper what is happening in Latin America now.
Because they sold-out to U. S. businesses and were backed by U. S. tax dollars and U. S. military support, Mafia buddies from Southern Florida Fulgencio Batista and Meyer Lansky had a lucrative dictatorship in Cuba, at least till the Cuban Revolution on Jan. 1-1959 chased them back to their former sanctuary in Southern Florida.
Of course, since January of 1959 Americans have been told that the Batista/Mafia dictatorship was a sweet government that treated everyday Cubans as nice as Mother Teresa would have treated them.
Batista's Havana Mob in the 1950's.
Beginning in January of 1959, Miami was overwhelmed economically and politically by elements from Batista's Cuba. In this week's aforementioned article by Lauren Kaori Gurley about how and why Marco Rubio is "dictating U. S. foreign policy in Latin America," she reminds us that Miami still is still ruled by elements from Batista's Cuba. Moreover, Ms. Gurley reminds us that President Trump believes Miami is a key to his 2020 re-election because of Florida's 29 Electoral Votes. Further, that is why Trump is allowing Rubio to be the U. S.'s Cuban dictator, which also allows Rubio, as Ms. Gurley said, to be now "dictating U. S. foreign policy in Latin America."
