The photo above shows the British cruise ship MS Braemar docked at Cuba's deep-water, ultra-modern Mariel Port 35 miles of Havana. The ship had been stranded in the Caribbean since February because no nation would allow it to dock until Cuba agreed to take the risk because it said "over a thousand people on board were in dire trouble." On board were 682 passengers and 381 crew members. Five people on the Braemar have tested positive for the Coronavirus while 27 crew members and 28 passengers are being isolated with symptoms. England turned to Cuba when all other ports in the region refused to allow the ship to dock.
This is the MS Braemar docked at Port Muriel.
These Cuban buses were lined up at the Mariel Port to accept the passengers and crew members aboard the MS Braemar. The healthy people were bused to Jose Marti International Airport in Havana. Cuba and the UK had arranged for flights to return them to England and to their other home countries.
A passenger on the MS Braemar, Anthea Guthrie, has used her Facebook account to thank the people for rescuing the {see above}. All over social media, there have been similar "thank you, thank you, thank you" tributes to Cuba. On both her and my Facebook accounts Anthea Guthrie wrote these words: "Cuba has world class hospitals, and we have said for years, if you get sick, get sick in Cuba." Anthea Guthrie has been to Cuba and knows Cubans. Americans who have never been to Cuba are provided anti-Cuban narratives from anti-revolutionary Cuban zealots such as Mauricio Claver-Carone.
These passengers on the MS Braemar were thankful to finally be at the airport in Havana on their journey home.
As of today -- March 18th, 2020 -- Cuba reports that it has "10 Confirmed Cases" of the Coronavirus and "389 suspicious cases." And this afternoon Cuba confirmed that it now has one person on the island that has died from the Coronavirus.
This AP/Ramon Espinosa photo shows a Cuban woman buying food as she wears a mask to fight the Coronavirus. This photo was used today by the powerful London-based newspaper The Guardian to illustrate a major article entitled: "Cuba Faces Squeeze On Food Production As U.S. Oil Sanctions Bite." I SINCERELY BELIEVE that every American needs to go on the Internet and read every word of this story that The Guardian is spreading around the world today -- March 18, 2020. It points out the sheer uniqueness of Cuba that leaves the Caribbean's largest nation as the ONLY NATION IN THE WORLD that is compelled to battle a near-blockade by the world's Superpower, the United States, while it tries to battle the Coronavirus pandemic. The must-read The Guardian article states: "The U. S. has since April sanctioned tanker companies delivering petroleum to Cuba...in an effort to strangle its most indefatigable foe. Over the past 12 months, the U. S. has hit Cuba with the most potent sanctions in half a century." Being an internationally influential newspaper and digital giant based in London, The Guardian can readily print such facts. Yet, in the United States even the mainstream media is too afraid to report the truth about Cuba, and that includes the omnipotent left-wing anti-Trump power houses such as The NY Times, Washington Post, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, etc. who for over three years have spent most of their space and time searching and reporting anything real or imagined or propagandized to impeach or otherwise remove Trump. Yet, even those left-wing propagandists who shower the U. S. media do not have the guts or the integrity to mention the main reason Trump should be impeached or imprisoned -- and that is for allowing Counter Revolutionary zealots such as Mauricio Claver-Carone to unleash genocide on masses of everyday Cubans on the island.
Most decent and brave Cuban experts are aware that President Trump committed an impeachable offense when he pointed to Mauricio Claver-Carone as the dictator of America's Cuban policy. For six decades and two generations the U. S. has allowed Counter Revolutionary Cuban zealots like Claver-Carone to dictate Batista/Mafia-like rules pertaining to recapturing Cuba for the Cubans who fled the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959 only to resettle in Miami, creating their new capital of Little Havana. After the Bay of Pigs military attack failed to recapture Cuba in April-1961, along with unchecked assassinations and terrorist assaults that also failed to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, in 1962 the U. S. tried to strangle the island with an economic boycott that has become the cruelest and longest in history ever imposed by a powerful nation against a much weaker nation. But from 1962 till today the boycott has also failed to recapture Cuba. All Republican administrations in the U. S. since the 1950s have been tightly aligned with Cubans like Fulgencio Batista and Mafia leaders like Lucky Luciano in dominating or trying to dominate Cuba. But not even the Batistiano-loving George W. Bush presidency refused to activate Title 3/Helms-Burton because even Bush considered it too genocidal against the masses of innocent Cubans on the island. But when Trump put Cuban zealots like Claver-Carone as the sole dictators of Cuban policies, Title 3/Helms-Burton WAS ACTIVATED...just as the London-based The Guardian reported today -- on March 18-2020.
Now that Mauricio Claver-Carone can dictate Cuban policies in the Trump White House, any American journalist, politician or citizen who doesn't admit that Title III constitutes genocide against Cubans is either a liar or an idiot.
When the world's so-called "strongest and greatest" Democracy allows the likes of a Mauricio Claver-Carone to make what decent and observant Americans consider to be genocide against masses of innocent people in a weaker nation, America is no longer the great Democracy is was before its Batistiano and Mafiosi obsession included first ruling Cuba and since 1959 obsessed with recapturing Cuba. Claver-Carone's hometown newspaper is the Naples Daily News in Florida. A recent headline in that newspaper was: "A Closer Look At The Man Advising Trump on Cuba." The article said:
"'As a boy when Mauricio Claver-Carone played football in Orlando, if you ever mentioned Fidel Castro he would go berserk,' said Farlan Bailey, Claver-Carone's longtime friend who graduated with him from Bishop Moore Catholic High School in 1993."
Since leaving high school, Claver-Carone everyday of his adult life has self-servingly taken advantage of his "berserk" obsession of recapturing Cuba. With massive advantages from the rich and volatile Cuban exiles in Little Havana, Republican administrations such as the Bush dynasty, and the Catholic Church, Claver-Carone has raised massive amounts of political dollars and cultivated powerful political allies to assault Cuba. Yet, only the Trump administration permitted Title 3/Helms-Burton to be a genocidal tool that Claver-Carone can use against masses of totally innocent Cuban families on the island. And perhaps most incredible of all is the fact that neither the mainstream U. S. media nor the intimidated or ignorant American people have neither the guts nor the integrity to utter a peep about U. S. genocide against innocent Cubans, even though...of course...even hints of genocide by a Russia or a China against innocent people is always in vogue in the United States. Back in the 1950s the U. S. supported Batista and Luciano as dictators in Cuba because, via kickbacks, they permitted rich U. S. businessmen to partake in the wholesale rape and robbery of the island. In March of 2020 the U. S. allows Mauricio Claver-Carone, whom most Americans never heard of, to dictate America's genocidal Cuban policies, apparently because President Trump believes it will help him obtain Florida's 29 crucial Electoral Votes in November's presidential election. In the 1950s Americans accepted Batista and Luciano as Cuba's U.S.-friendly dictators and in 2020 Americans accept Mauricio Claver-Carone. In other words, from the 1950s till to this day, the pugnacious island of Cuba has said a lot more about the superpower United States than it has said about Cuba.
