No Resistance From US Democracy!!

The photo above shows the Four Points-Sheraton Hotel in Havana operated by the U.S.-based Marriott Hotel chain. Marriott got the license to operate in Cuba during the 2014-2016 period when former U. S. President Barack Obama was normalizing relations between the U. S. and Cuba. Immediately when the Republican Donald Trump replaced the Democrat Obama as U. S. president in January of 2017, the Trump administration has gone from the Republican-imposed Embargo against the island, first imposed in 1962, to expand it to a genocidal Blockade, trying to block off all avenues of revenue to the Cuban government and the Cuban people. Earlier this week, back on June 3rd, the U. S. further cut remittances that many Cuban-Americans send to family members on the island. And today -- June 5th, 2020 -- the U. S. continued to try to block the last vestiges of money for Cubans on the island. Today Marriott Hotels was told to cease its business in Cuba, with the U. S. adding that,"Marriott will not be permitted to open hotels in Cuba that have been in preparation."

Although both the mainstream U. S. media and the American people are programmed not to object about genocide against masses of Cubans on the island, U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo himself operates as the spokesman for most of the major assaults against Cuba. Americans, of course, are not supposed to wonder...with a lot of other important things happening, why is the Secretary of State putting so much time devoted to trying to starve Cubans in Cuba, apparently to appease a handful of vicious Cuban-Americans tied to Little Havana in Miami???
Secretary of State Pompeo seems to be taking full advantage of the Coronavirus to further punish Cubans on the island. The U. S. has been accused of using its awesome worldwide influence to keep nations such as China and Switzerland from sending some needed COVID-19 medical supplies to Cuba. Of course, neither the mainstream U. S. media nor the American people apparently wouldn't object if the Trump administration nuked Cuba between now and the next presidential election on November 3rd of this year. It seems, for sure, that the Little Havana zealots who control the Republican Party seem anxious to recapture Cuba prior to the Nov. 3rd-2020 election.
Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said this week that U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was announcing a "criminal act" when he announced on June 3-2020 that the further drastic cut of remittances to the island would be enacted. Rodriguez today -- on June 5-2020 -- blamed Pompeo for "being controlled totally by a mere few of the most egregious enemies of the Cuban people, not the majority of Cuban-Americans who don't want their family members and friends in Cuba starved by the powerful United States. In the U. S. democracy, it appears, Americans are not allowed to know that Cuba since 1959 has provided totally free health care, totally free educations through college, and, if needed, free food and other necessities for all Cubans. Anti-Cubans like Rubio who gain politically and financially from punishing Cubans in Cuba have never been to Cuba and don't want other Americans to visit the island either...so as to keep them from disputing Rubio's lies."
For sure, it appears that every anti-Cuban news conference conducted by U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seems to be totally scripted by Marco Rubio.
As Secretary of State, it clearly appears that Secretary of State Pompeo has allowed Rubio to appoint only anti-Cuban zealots such as Mauricio Claver-Carone to positions that can best influence genocide against Cubans on the island. Claver-Carone, for example, is in charge of WESTERN HEMISPHERE Affairs for the United States because, of course, Cuba is in the Western Hemisphere. Once Claver-Carone was put in that powerful position, his own hometown newspaper in Florida stated that, ever since he played high school football in Orlando, that Claver-Carone would go "BERSERK" if anyone mentioned anything about the Cuban Revolution around him. All his adult life, Claver-Carone has remained "berserk" in his undying efforts to overthrow the Cuban Revolution...and that's why, along with his buddy Rubio, Claver-Carone is right now making the anti-Cuban decisions for Donald Trump and the United States of America.
With Little Havana having an iron grip on the Trump administration, only war-mongering Cuban extremists are allowed to have input regarding U.S.-Cuba relations. Thus, Abrams, Bolton, Pompeo, Rubio, Claver-Carone, and their ilk are allowed to make decisions regarding Cuba while another Republican, Trump, is President. All the while, of course, the mainstream U. S. media and the U. S. people are supposed to keep their mouths shut about what...tuh...seems to be an affront to Democracy and Decency.
For many decades little Cuba has punched much larger than its size on the world stage, and it is still trying to punch back against Trump's Superpower genocide.
It is abundantly clear that Trump craves the Cuban-American Vote in southern Florida so much that he is willing to sacrifice 11.4 million Cubans on the island to appease a handful of ultra-rich and powerful Cubans in Little Havana that he believes will provide him their support on November 3rd, 2020.
Of course, President Trump's genocidal CUBA POLICY is designed to win him all of Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes in the Nov. 3rd-2020 presidential election. Republican candidates believe that bowing to Little Havana regarding Havana is crucial to winning and keeping the White House. In 2019, with Rubio and Claver-Carone in control of Cuban affairs in the White House, Trump activated Title III/Helms-Burton. No other U. S. president...not even GEORGE W. BUSH...had ever activated Title III because most decent Americans consider it TOO GENOCIDAL to impose on the masses of Cubans on the island just to appease a handful of Cubans in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress.
And thus, on June 5th-2020, we have President Trump pointing to Rubio and Claver-Carone to continue imposing genocide on Cubans on the island.
And, America, if Title III/Helms-Burton does not constitute U. S. genocide against masses of people on the island of Cuba, I believe that it will do as such at least until Rubio and Claver-Carone concoct something else.
