Promoting Genocide Against Cubans

It Includes Mainstream U.S. Journalists!!
    Back on July 8th, 1889, The Wall Street Journal began publishing as a prime American news source. For over a century, it earned a valid reputation for great journalism. But that changed drastically recently when multi-billionaire individuals and corporations began buying iconic media giants such as...The Wall Street Journal, CNN, NBC/MSNBC, The Washington Post, etc., etc. Thus, such media sources have changed from being important gatherers and dispensers of news to being nothing more and nothing less than well-funded and powerful PROPAGANDA outlets. And perhaps that transition is saddest at The Wall Street.
     In 2007 Rupert Murdoch purchased The Wall Street Journal for $5.6 billion after he had already bought-up other major media outlets in the U. S., including prime newspapers as well founding the Fox Television-Radio Network and, of course, Fox News. Murdoch was born in Melbourne, Australia, 89-years-ago. It was in Australia and England where he began his News Empire, before concentrating on the United States.
     And now Rupert Murdoch's vast and obscene Media Empire bears his stamp in promoting right-wing propaganda.
     The greatest insult Rupert Murdoch has brought to the United States is not Fox News. It is The Wall Street Journal, which even today is the only rival to USA Today when it comes to its audience of about 2.6 million readers. And even today the WSJ continues to have a few honest and dedicated business journalists. But Mr. Murdoch's greatest journalistic crime in the United States, I believe, is using the The Wall Street Journal to elevate extreme propagandists such as Mary Anastasia O'Grady into extremely high-profile propaganda-dispersers while pretending she and others like her are legitimate journalists.
     Instead of being a real journalist at the still-powerful Wall Street Journal, Mary O'Grady is a right-wing propagandist. She has been a Editorialist and Columnist at the WSJ since 2005. During that time her prime efforts, as I've noted, have been devoted to sanitizing one particular Latin American dictatorship, the brutal Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba, while incessantly trying to get the United States to destroy Revolutionary Cuba and reclaim dominion over Cuba akin to the days in the 1950s when O'Grady's beloved Mafiosi icons Batista, Luciano, Lansky, and Trafficante Jr. ransacked and brutalized the island with the aid of rich U. S. businessmen, the U. S. government, and the U. S. military. O'Grady, therefore, obviously supports any means that might recapture Cuba...including genocide against Cubans on the island as well as genocide against people in small nations that are Cuban allies. Incessantly O'Grady uses high-profile lies in the WSJ to propagandize her extreme Cuban views. For example, the WIKIPEDIA bio of Mary O'Grady includes this exact sentence: "O'Grady has received criticism for alleged inaccuracies in articles written for the World Street Journal, such as an alleged claim that Fidel Castro developed viruses to share with Islamic fundamentalists; or that Hugo Chavez and Daniel Ortega were providing refuge to Islamic terrorists."
      Although she is a well-known anti-Cuban liar and anti-Cuban propagandist, Mary Anastasia O'Grady is unchecked and unencumbered when it comes to using the pages of The Wall Street Journal -- as well as speeches at Think Tanks and on college campuses -- to promote genocidal U. S. practices against everyday masses of Cubans on the island...while, of course, proclaiming that every exile in the U. S. from the overthrown Batista-Mafia regime is a salt-of-the-earth Saint although every Cuban still on the island, including the children, should be subjected to the Trump administration's Title 3/Helms-Burton-administrated genocide against 11.5 million Cubans on the island. FOR EXAMPLE, in these last two DAYS OF MARCH-2020, Mary Anastasia O'Grady could have posted any Editorial in The Wall Street Journal about ANY TOPIC she wanted to propagandize but, of course, she wrote the WSJ Editorial entitled: "CUBA AVOIDS AN HONEST CORONAVIRUS POLICY." The once-respected WSJ is now spreading that latest Mary Anastasia O'Grady Cuban propaganda around the United States on its printed pages and around the world digitally today. It is, of course, Mary Anastasia O'Grady's way of shamefully taking advantage of the Coronavirus pandemic to further inflict her genocidal propaganda against masses of totally innocent Cubans on the island, 11.5 vulnerable people already trying to cope with the pandemic as well as the Trump administration's use of Title 3/Helms-Burton to impose genocide against Cubans on the island.
     Now that Mary Anastasia O'Grady has BOTH Title III/Helms-Burton and the Coronavirus pandemic to assault Cubans on the island, I hope SHE is real proud of herself today.

U.S. Uses COVID-19 To Hurt Cuba

Americans Are Told To Accept It!!
     At the Miami Herald, Nora Gamez Torres is a highly paid and high-profile "journalist." It seems that her prime job is two-fold -- to sanitize the Batista-Luciano dictatorship that brutalized Cuba during the 1950s while also pulverizing everyday Cubans on the island since the 1959 Revolution that chased the Batistiano-Mafiosi leaders to U. S. soil, primarily nearby Miami. Today -- March 28th, 2020 -- Nora Gamez Torres's latest article in the Miami Herald appears to herald and celebrate the Trump administration's obvious effort to take advantage of the Coronavirus pandemic to further punish the masses of 11.5 million everyday Cubans on the island. Her article today is entitled: "FOOD SHORTAGE, A DECREPIT ECONOMY, AND NOW THE CORONAVIRUS: HARD TIMES FOR CUBA." Of course, while celebrating this headline, Nora Gamez Torres doesn't have the integrity or sympathy to report that Cuba is the ONLY nation in the whole world that has had TO TRY, since 1962 to this very day, to survive history's cruelest and longest Economic Embargo ever imposed by a powerful nation against a small nation. And, of course, Nora Gamez Torres is not about to mention that back in 2019 the Batistiano-aligned Trump administration activated Title 3 of the Helms-Burton Act, which Cuban extremists in the U. S. have used since 1996 to, First of all, lavish themselves with tons of tax dollars while, SECONDLY, to legally pulverize masses of everyday Cubans on the island. If she had the courage or integrity to write about Title 3, Nora Gamez Torres could explain that prior to Trump's activation of Title 3 that EVEN President George W. Bush considered Title 3 to be TOO GENOCIDAL to inflict on masses of Cubans on the island. Thus, I believe that Nora Gamez Torres's latest article today continues to insult both Democracy and Journalism.
     For Nora Gamez Torres and the Miami Herald to salivate about the "decrepit economy" and the "hard times" Cuba is having as it copes with the Coronavirus shames the USA and Democracy FAR more than it shames Cuba, I think. And while salivating, don't expect the likes of Nora Gamez Torres and the Miami Herald to have the courage to tell the truth about a few selected Cubans and their lawyers in Miami also salivating by using Title III of Helms-Burton to get even richer than they already are while also shamefully using Title III to further strangle the life of the pugnacious island, meaning the use of genocide to persuade and induce everyday Cubans on the island to rise up against their revolutionary government, which is not perfect but at least its not another U.S.-backed FULGENCIO BATISTA/LUCKY LUCIANO/MEYER LANSKY government.

     {The photo above shows the gold telephone that A & T gave Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1957. Major U. S. companies lavished Batista with gifts and money in the form of kickpacks so rich Americans could also partake in the wholesale robbery of Cuba along with the Batista-Mafia dictatorship. That was the reason that the U. S. government supported the Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba as OPPOSED to decently supporting a Democracy in Cuba. Of course, Nora Gomez Torres and the USA's litany of propagandists posing as "journalists" will never write about such things as Batista's Gold Telephone from A & T in 1957, a truly sweet and historic kickback. But with all the loot the Mafia and U. S. businessmen raked-in in Cuba in the 1950s, the unconscious murders of children supposedly to quell dissent ended up fueling the LONG-SHOT revolution, along with the utter disregard concerning the extreme poverty of the Cuban peasants even as pre-revolutionary Cuba was being hailed as one of the richest and most advanced Latin American nations. That is like saying that Bill Gates and the man living under a bridge without a dime or peso to his name are together worth $75 billion dollars. All these decades after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, U. S. "journalists" like Nora Gamez Torres pretend that the dastardly murders of Cuban children had nothing to do with the revolution in Cuba, nor that the total neglect by the rich Batista-Mafia regime of the health and educational needs of everyday Cubans played a massive secondary role. Yet, the vital marches of Cuban mothers protesting the murders of their children...their "ninos"...as well as the extreme poverty in Batista's Cuba are well documented by history, and by photos as well as memories}. In 2020, if Americans are wondering why in the hell Little Havana in Miami has not re-captured Havana AFTER ALL THESE DECADES, there is an overriding REASON, I truly believe. As a Democracy-loving American, I have been to Cuba and I believe I learned WHY, and it is because of those memories of Batista's Cuba.

Trump Uses Crisis To Hurt Cuba

As Cowardly U. S. Citizens Remain Silent!!
      At the above news conference this week concerning the Coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump claimed that the U. S. is ready "to help" all other nations, including Iran and North Korea. Of course, Trump has neither the guts nor the integrity to mention that the U. S. will "help" any of the 11.5 Cubans on the nearby Caribbean island because to do so he would need to have the permission of ultra-powerful Cuban dictators such as Mauricio Claver-Carone, Marco Rubio, and the Diaz-Balart brothers. At their direction, Trump in 2019 activated Title 3 of the Batistiano-legalized Helms-Burton Act although Title 3 is so genocidal against decent masses on the island that NOT EVEN the totally Miami/Batistiano-aligned George W. Bush presidency would activate it. But Trump not only has activated the genocidal Title 3, as indicated in the above news conference and elsewhere, Trump is permitting about twenty vicious and self-serving miscreant Cubans in Miami, Newark, Congress, and in the White House to take advantage of the Coronavirus pandemic to further unleash even more genocide against masses of Cuban on the island. Of course, Trump...who is DEPENDING on Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes to GET HIM RE-ELECTED IN NOVEMBER...can depend on the cowardly silence of the American people to expand his self-serving genocide on innocent masses of Cuban people.
      This photo is courtesy of Tracey EatonDuring the current pandemic, these two Cuban children on the island are allowed to breathe some air outside while also learning about social distancing. With the cowardly silence of this generation of Americans, the Trump administration is permitted to use the Coronavirus to FURTHER punish children on the island to appease the economic and political desires of a handful of omnipotent Cubans in the United States.
    The three self-serving Florida Counter Revolutionary men on the right above are in HIGH-HEAVEN during the current Republican administration in Washington because they are unchecked dictators regarding all Cuban issues. Rubio, Diaz-Balart, and ultra-rich sycophant Scott are totally unchecked when it comes to using the U. S. government to further their nests while plundering masses of innocent Cubans. This anti-democratic cancer has been slowly but incessantly evolving since 1959, and now the cancer  is beginning to seriously create a Batistiano-like America that eerily resembles the Batista-Luciano-Mafiosi dictatorship in Cuba, WHICH THE U. S. SHAMEFULLY SUPPORTED during the 1950s so rich U. S. businessmen could partake in the Mafiosi spoils. {Is that what Trump plans again once he completes his regime-change on the island? Little Havana in Miami seems to believe that is on the horizon but, on the island, there also seems to be enough Cubans to resist another era of pre-revolutionary dominance by foreign powers}.
      When the current Republican president, Donald Trump, can use the Coronavirus pandemic to further expand his genocide against masses of Cubans on the island, even as he uses a news conference to explain what nice things he is doing during the crisis, it reveals that the United States in 2020 is a helluva lot more akin to Batistiano-like rule than Cuba is when it comes to being INFESTED WITH A PRE-REVOLUTIONARY BATISTIANO-MAFIOSI GOVERNMENT.
AND BY THE WAY:
   The great journalist and top Foreign Affairs Writer for Newsweek, Tom O'Connor, has published this week's best international article related to Cuba and the Coronavirus. It is entitled: "Cuba Uses 'Wonder Drug' To Fight Coronavirus Around The World Despite U. S. Sanctions." It is a long, accurate, and documented article...the type article regarding Cuba that Americans are programmed not to read. It tells about the proven Cuban drug Alpha-2B Recombinant {IF Nres} that many nations, large and small, are using to fight COVID-19. But mostly the article details how the United States of America, during the Trump administration, is taking cruel advantage of the massive pandemic TO EXPAND its already extremely cruel genocidal assault on masses of totally innocent children, women, and men on the Caribbean island of Cuba. It is apparent that the talented and respected Tom O'Connor believes that unchecked, Batistiano-aligned genocide against masses of innocent people in a small nation imposed unmercifully by the United States IS ONLY POSSIBLE because Americans have been successfully programmed TO ACCEPT IT. Meanwhile, I suggest that everyone go on Online and read Tom O'Connor's aforementioned article.
       Tom O'Connor's Newsweek article used the above photo courtesy of Yamil Lage/AFP/Getty Images. It shows a Cuban venturing out to buy food during the Coronavirus.
        And the Tom O'Connor Newsweek article also featured the Yamil/AFP/Getty Images photo above. It shows some of the  highly respected 54 Cuban doctors on their way to Italy to help that rich nation's battle against the Coronavirus pandemic.

Cuban Journalist Pleads With Cubans

Stay Home, PLEASE!!
Photo courtesy: AFP/Adalberto Roque
       This photo today -- Tuesday, March 24, 2020 --was used by CNA, the international English language News Network based in Singapore, to illustrate a major article entitled: "Finish Your Mojito, We Are Closed; Tourists Scramble To Leave Cuba." It shows the Coronavirus pandemic causing tourists to leave Cuba on whichever air flight they can. Nesmi Orslow, 34-years-old and on his honeymoon in Cuba, told CNA about his situation: "In every city that we went, to every bar to have a drink, we always ordered a pina colada or a mojito." He said he arrived in Cuba on March 10th when "the Netherlands had not yet instituted lockdown measures and in Cuba the first Coronavirus case was not reported until March 10th."
     By March 23rd Cuba reported "48 confirmed" cases of the Coronavirus and "1,229 suspicious" cases.
      Early this morning popular Cubavision International News Anchor Rosy Amaro told me, "Don't worry about me. I have to be outside to provide my journalism. But it is a difficult situation in Cuba." She was referring to the island battling the pandemic while also trying to deal with the USA/Trump administration's almost total Economic Blockade of the island. Decent Cubans like Rosy Amaro and everyday Cubans all across the island are frustrated with the fact that everyday Americans seem to not care about the Trump administration's cruel and genocidal attempt to so severely punish Cuba's most vulnerable citizens -- its children and the elderly.
      Also today -- March 24th, 2020 -- popular and influential journalist Rosy Amaro posted the photo above on both television and social media. It shows many Cubans on a crowded Havana street and the frustrated Rosy Amaro said, "As a journalist to keep you informed, I must be outside. But it is a difficult and dangerous situation. PLEASE stay home to take care of yourselves and take care of me."
       This photo, courtesy of Rafael Hernandez, shows a Cuban medical student who is going home-to-home to check on Cubans regarding the Coronavirus pandemic. The REUTERS NEWS AGENCY based in London reports that "many thousands of doctors, nurses, and medical students in Cuba are making home-to-home visits to monitor the island's citizens."

Cuba Battling Coronavirus

While Also Helping Other Nations!!
       While neither the mainstream U. S. media nor the U. S. government is in the business of reporting on Cuban positives,  the image above shows that PBC NEWS, even in the United States, explains that many poor nations and even rich nations, like Italy, summon Cuba's highly respected doctors in times of crisis. The YouTube video and audio below, courtesy of Voice of America, shows the arrival in Italy of the Cuban doctors.
      Today -- March 23rd, 2020 -- the notice above shows that Cuba has now reluctantly closed off all classes at the University of Havana. The suspension will last at least till April 20th.
     The selfie photo above shows popular Cuban television anchor Rosy Amaro Perez as she posted a COVID-19 warning to the Cuban people. She reminded them: "Take care of yourself, and take care of me." Rosy reported that Cuba started today with 40 "confirmed" cases of the Coronavirus.

Pandemic Reveals U.S. Cuba Lies

Batistianos Control U. S. Narrative!!
And Dictate U. S. Cuban Policies!!
Photo courtesy: REUTERS/Alexandro Meneghini
    Today -- Sunday, March 22, 2020 -- the image above flashed around the world because the top international News Agency REUTERS used this photo, and others, to illustrate a major article entitled: "Cuban Doctors Head To Italy Battle Coronavirus." Because REUTERS is based in London, its reporters can tell the truth about Cuba, something the U. S. media, including the strong AP agency, is basically restricted from doing because the U. S. narrative, as well as the USA's draconian Cuban policies, have been basically dictated since 1959 by Cuban-exile extremists after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution over the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship. Revolutionary Cuba's sheer and astounding longevity continues in 2020 to, amazingly, change the U. S. more than it changes Revolutionary Cuba itself...as REUTERS pointed out again on March 22-2020 concerning the Coronavirus pandemic.
     This REUTERS/Alexandre Meneghini photo also helped illustrate the REUTERS article on 03-22-2020 that explained that the dedication and talent of Cuba's plethora of well-trained doctors are renowned around the world in poor countries especially but also in rich countries -- except, of course, in the United States. The U. S., especially during the current Trump presidency, has spent fortunes in tax dollars to chase much-needed Cuban doctors from helping people in many poor countries, enticing some of them with nice incentives to defect while also using the U.S.'s unique economic and military influence to persuade other nations to help the U. S. strangle Cuba, including its medical brigades. Recently strong former pro-Cuba allies like Brazil are now helping the U. S. overthrow Revolutionary Cuba...and, since the recent U.S.-friendly coup, even Bolivia has also strongly joined that American effort to re-dominate Cuba like in the pre-Revolutionary era. Some of the prime points REUTERS revealed March 22nd-2020 regarding Cuba's medical brigades that point out massive U. S. Cuban lies are these:
         ***"The rich nation of Italy has asked Cuba to send a brigade of doctors to Lombardy, the region of Italy that is being most devastated by the Coronavirus." {Cuba quickly responded by sending the 54-doctor brigade as depicted by the two photos shown above}.
         ***"The Caribbean island has sent its armies of White Robes to disaster sites around the world, largely in poor countries. Its doctors were in the front lines in the fight against cholera in Haiti, ebola in West Africa, etc. Now Cuba has been asked to send an emergency contingent to Italy, one of the world's richest countries, demonstrating the reach of Cuba's medical diplomacy."
           ***"Cuba has also, when asked, also recently sent doctors to combat the Coronavirus to Venezuela, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Suriname, Grenada, and other nations."
            ***"Jamaican Health Minister Christopher Tufton was at the Kingston International Airport to welcome 140 Cuban doctors Saturday. Mr. Tufton said, 'In a time of crisis, the Cuba government, the Cuban people, have risen to the occasion. They heard our appeal and they have responded." {Recently, U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo supposedly visited Jamaica in the U.S.'s urgent effort to enlist or warn other nations to join the effort to destroy Revolutionary Cuba}.
           ***"Dr. Leonardo Fernandez, 68, one of the veterans in Cuba's Medical Brigade said Saturday, 'We are not Superheroes. We are just revolutionary doctors.'"
             ***"Cuba has one of the world's highest ratios worldwide of physicians per capita even after sending doctors abroad. In the COVID-19 pandemic now Cuba is sending thousands of doctors and medical students door-to-door monitoring their local communities."
             ***"Its medical brigades for disaster relief continue to earn Havana goodwill worldwide." {While the great REUTERS NEWS AGENCY based in London can report truths about Cuba, such as the facts quoted above on March 22-2020, even the mainstream U. S. media is too afraid of the Batistiano grip on America to report such Cuban positives}.
     The photo above shows Cuban journalist Rosy Amaro Perez after she interviewed some of the 54 doctors before they flew out of Havana Saturday -- March 21-2020 -- bound for their vital mission to Lombardy, Italy.
     Also Saturday -- March 21, 2020 -- these are some of the 140 Cuban doctors at the Havana airport just before they flew to Jamaica to help that country fight the Coronavirus pandemic. As noted by REUTERS, from the moment this Medical Brigade touched down in Jamaica, the Jamaican government and Jamaican people have lavished Cuba and its people with praise and gratitude for heeding Jamaica's plea for help. In the last few days, so have strong and rich countries, especially England and Italy. As a democracy-loving American, I wish my country also had the guts to tell the truth about photos such as the one above...and cease to allow a handful of a second generation of Batistiano-like Cubans to use the might of the United States to commit genocide against masses of innocent Cubans on the island. On March 22nd-2020 the great London-based REUTERS NEWS AGENCY again blessed the world by dispelling vicious lies about Cuba, lies that defame America and Democracy even more than they defame Cuba.
       In America's Era of Trump about 20 extremists -- ALL SELF-SERVING RADICAL COUNTER REVOLUTIONARIES LED BY VICIOUS BUT UNCHECKED U.S.-CUBANS SUCH AS CLAVER-CARONE, RUBIO, AND DIAZ-BALART -- the United States resembles in 2020 what the Batista-Mafia dictatorship was in the 1950s. As a democracy-loving American, I am pained by the fact that the U. S. Democracy is not strong enough to curtain the photo-montage depicted above...and further pained that the mainstream U. S. media doesn't have the courage or integrity to honestly address the issue.

China Helps Cuba Fight Virus

The U. S. Maintains Its Blockade!!
      China's leader Xi Jinping {shown here} this weekend has ordered that "donations" will be sent to Cuba to help fight the Coronavirus pandemic on the island.
     Meanwhile, U. S. leader President Trump has refused to consider easing his almost total blockade against Cuba, which direly and cruelly has put everyday Cubans on the island in peril but both BEFORE and now DURING the Coronavirus crisis.
      In fact, as the Coronavirus roils both the United States and Cuba, President Trump has just appointed YET ANOTHER Counter Revolutionary zealot, Carlos Trujillo {above} to a powerful position to make sure that ONLY anti-Cuban extremists dictate all of America's draconian and genocidal Cuban policies. Incredibly, while Trump is roundly criticized regarding practically everything else he says or does, neither the American people nor even the left-wing U. S. mainstream media have the guts to criticize his Cuban genocide. The Trump appointment of the extremist Carlos Trujillo as Assistant Secretary of State dealing with Western Hemisphere Affairs is therefore appalling. That is the group led by ultra-extremist Mauricio Claver-Carone and is in charge of blockading and destroying Revolutionary Cuba to appease greedy and avenging Counter Revolutionary Cubans and their sycophants who remember when rich U. S. businessmen partook in the wholesale rape and robbery of the island during the pre-revolutionary Batista-Mafia dictatorship. Carlos Trujillo and his primary bosses Claver-Carone and Marco Rubio, like ALL the Cuban decision-makers in the Trump administration, are self-serving extremists regarding Cuba...WITH NO EXCEPTIONS. Of course, what that says about the U. S. democracy is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE U. S. MEDIA NOR BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. And that is so endemic to the U. S. fabric and U. S. ideology, not even something such as a vile pandemic, which changes almost everything else, cannot CHANGE what has become Batistiano America.
     And when ONLY anti-Cuban extremists like Miami's Carlos Trujillo are allowed to make what many consider genocidal decisions against the masses of Cubans on the island, those who loved Batista's Cuba back in the 1950s MUST LOVE Trump's Batistiano America in 2020.
Is President Claver-Carone in the USA's FUTURE???
{President Batista was in the USA's Cuban past!!!}
