To Accept US Cuban Policies!!
St. Lucia is an island nation in the Eastern Caribbean with a population of about 180,000 people. They speak English and French and adher mostly to English and French customs and laws. In 2020, with Little Havana zealots in Miami and in Congress anxious to regain control of Cuba while Trump is still President, St. Lucia and all other Caribbean nations are being pressured to accept what many of them openly consider U. S. genocide against the masses of Cubans on the island. St. Lucia is a feisty little nation and it has, in print and online, a feisty newspaper -- the St. Lucia News. This weekend -- on June 27th, 2020 -- its top article is entitled: "US BLACKLISTS CUBA FOR DOCTORS OVERSEAS PROGRAMS; MINISTER FLOOD REACTS." Like the other Caribbean nations, St. Lucia tries real hard to resist U. S. pressure -- via money inducements or other threats -- to join in the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba.
This weekend the St. Lucia News used the photo depicted above to illustrate its denunciation of the US effort to exert pressure on its sovereignty by trying to force its Little Havana-propelled effort to recapture Cuba on St. Lucia. This photo shows St. Lucia welcoming a brigade of Cuban doctors to help St. Lucia battle the Coronavirus pandemic -- the same thing other nations from Jamaica to Barbados to Italy to Spain to Brazil to South Africa to Qatar and two dozen other nations have begged for and received. That's because Cuban doctors have a well-earned reputation for being the best for fighting pandemics such as Ebola, COVID-19, and Hurricanes such as Katrina. But Little Havana, meaning the U. S., is afraid Cuba will garner some financial windfall from its famed medical programs overseas, and that goes against the Trump administration's herculean effort to blockade all revenue from reaching Cuba.
The top Minister for the nation of St. Lucia is the brilliant and feisty Sarah Flood-Beaubrun. Fifty-one-years-old, she got her law degree at the University of Westminster and, among other things, Sarah represents St. Lucia at the United Nations...as well as against U. S. pressure to turn St. Lucia against Cuba. Regarding the U. S. effort to pressure all nations, small and large, from using Cuban doctors, Sarah gave this exact quote to the St. Lucia News this weekend: "For us, Cuba is a friend and Cuba has assisted Saint Lucia in so many ways." I believe that Americans should go online and read that June 27-2020 article in the St. Lucia News because in the U. S. even the powerful anti-Trump mainstream media is usually too afraid of Little Havana to report fairly on positive Cuban issues.
This photo shows Sarah Flood-Beaubrun posing with U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after he supposedly had arrived in St. Lucia trying to pressure Sarah to join Little Havana's anti-Cuban crusade. But Sarah had earlier criticized Jamaica and other nations for what she believed were some in the Caribbean taking "nice" financial inducements from the U. S. to denounce Cuba..."Even though Jamaica, I believe, was the very first nation to beg and receive Cuban doctors to fight its problem with COVID-19." Of course, as Sarah Flood-Beaubrun has stated, "U. S. money is welcomed by everyone, and the last few years anti-Cuba money from Washington is plentiful, and some take it...but there are other things more important than money, such as the lives of people in small and vulnerable sovereign countries."
In the tiny Eastern Caribbean nation of St. Lucia, there is a female politician named Sarah Flood-Beaubrun who has both the courage and the decency to speak up against the money and might of both LITTLE HAVANA and WASHINGTON on behalf of saving the lives of her fellow citizens in St. Lucia. So, although Americans are not supposed to care, Sarah Flood-Beaubrun this weekend had the courage and the decency to make this exact statement in the St. Lucia News: "For us, Cuba is a friend and Cuba has assisted Saint Lucia in so many ways." And, of course, Cuba's latest way to help Sarah's nation is to fight the Coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, in USA we are told that the likes of Claver-Carone, Rubio, the Diaz-Balarts, Menendez, and Rick Scott who are able to commit the U. S. government to a genocidal Cuban policy are better humans than Sarah Flood-Beaubrun. And that is simply a lie that no democracy should tolerate, certainly not for over six decades. The face depicted above shows compassion and love, not hate and greed. Sarah Flood-Beaubrun can not be bought off by U. S. dollars because she is more concerned with helping the citizens of St. Lucia fight the COVID pandemic...and with helping Cuban citizens fight both the COVID pandemic and its age-old Little Havana pandemic...now 6+ decades old.

This week -- on June 26th, 2020 -- the Jamaica Gleaner, a newspaper established in 1834, quoted Dr. Morais Guy about renowned Little Havana zealots in the U. S. Senate introducing a new bill entitled: "The Cut Profits to the Cuban Regime Act." It is the latest Little Havana effort to block all money to the island, this time supposedly cutting off revenue from the Cuban doctors sent abroad that many nations believe are vital to saving lives in their nations. The exact words by Dr. Morais Guy were:
"The Cuban people have always stood with the people of Jamaica in challenging times, from the 1970s to today's COVID-19 pandemic crisis, when over 140 medical professionals arrived in Jamaica from Cuba. For over 40 years, Jamaica has been benefiting from the assistance of Cuban healthcare workers and we cannot remain silent as to be bullied into adopting the political agenda of another country." Those were the exact words of Dr. Guy but I underlined his word "bullied" to remind the likes of Claver-Carone, Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers, Rick Scott, and others that it is no secret about what they are doing...and able to do.
Of course, as every health professional in the Caribbean well knows, the Little Havana Counter Revolutionaries who introduced "The Cut Profits to the Cuban Regime Act" a few days ago in the U. S. Senate are not supposed to be asked in the United States if they agree that such self-serving bills are aimed at enriching and embolding certain politicians in Little Havana while committing genocide against Cubans on the island. In the last few days it appears some health experts in the Caribbean such as Dr. Morais Guy in Jamaica and Minister Sarah Blood-Beaubrun in St. Lucia would love to ask the Little Havana politicians that very question.
