No Pushback From U.S. Citizens!!
This weekend -- July 18-19, 2020 -- the most important international article related to Cuba used the photo above to illustrate how a handful of self-serving members of the U. S. Congress can so easily feather their own economic and political nests by pushing their own bills designed to starve and deprive Cubans on the island and also starve and deprive people in other countries who refuse to bow to Congress's legalized genocide against Cuban families.
The article that honestly deals with this rather pertinent issue is being sent around the world this weekend by Global Americans, a respected media force that focuses on the Americas. It is entitled: "New Cuba Bill Puts A Strain On U.S.-Caribbean Relations." Americans, of course, are not supposed to dial up the article online because it explains, in July of 2020, how a handful of self-serving extremist Counter Revolutionary politicians can massively benefit by proposing genocidal bills in Congress designed to starve Cuban families on the island while also assaulting and intimidating families in other countries who don't bow to their extremely cruel Cuban plans. For the record, here is the gist of what the article explains:
"A new bill proposed in the United States Senate titled 'Cut Profits to the Cuban Regime Act of 2020' has put Caribbean states in the line of fire as lawmakers look to advance U. S. policy toward Cuba during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The bill, introduced by Republican Senators Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, would require the U. S. State Department to release the list of countries that contract with Cuba for their medical mission program, and ensures that such contracts are considered in the annual U. S. Trafficking in Persons rankings. In short, the bill would effectively stifle the revenue received by Cuba from its medical missions and punish recipient countries to appease President Donald Trump's key South Florida base as the 2020 U. S. presidential election gets closer. While the bill focuses on Cuba, its contents have extraterritorial and harmful effects on other countries in the Caribbean who, without Cuba's medical support, are unlikely to have tackled the COVID-19 pandemic as swiftly as they have. The Caribbean's economic dependency on tourism is not unknown to these U. S. Senators who routinely influence U. S. policy on Latin America and the Caribbean {as a part of executing their Cuban whims} ."
The three Republican U. S. Senators who put the latest self-serving but genocidal bill in Congress are two Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio along with Rich Scott, who is 100% owned by and dictated to by the extremist Cuban-Americans who have ruled Rubio's Little Havana stronghold in Miami through two generations since the 1959 triumph of the Cuban Revolution. As usual in the U. S. Congress, such bills backed by money and intimidation often routinely get passed...and use the old collutions such as, "Hey, you support our bill to destroy Cuba and we'll support your Bridge to Nowhere bill." The extreme financial and political windfalls for benefactors like Cruz, Rubio, and Scott shames Congress, America, and Democracy but it has been absolutely going on in Washington for decades, especially since the late 1980s when Little Havana began getting a grip around the throats of politicians such as the Bush dynasty. In the 1950's greedy Republican politicians got away with aligning themselves with the top echelons of the Mafia, including Super-kingpin Lucky Luciano, to support the brutal and thieving Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba. In January of 1959 when the Cuban Revolution stunned the world by chasing the Batistiano-Mafiosi regime from Havana to Miami, the emergence of Little Havana on U. S. soil essentially replicated what Batista and Luciano had in Havana prior to the Revolution, and in both instances the once-proud U. S. Democracy has simply not been strong enough to counteract it.
Mafia rule of Havana in the 1950s, and then...
The progression of the four images directly above conclude with an unfortunate handshake that shamefully chronicles a terrible blight on the U. S. democracy in its vulnerable two-party political system. Each Republican U. S. president since 1959 has been obligated to bow to Little Havana extremists who control Miami and, presumably, control Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes that can predicate presidential elections. Thus, since 2017 Republican President Donald Trump must bow to Little Havana congressional zealots Mario Diaz-Balart, whose father was a key Minister in the infamous Batista dictatorship, and Marco Rubio, who hates Trump and called Trump vile names during the 2016 presidential primaries. A U. S. democracy that has one of its two political parties bowing meekly and totally to Little Havana zealots is not so unlike the one-party Batista government that the United States supported in Cuba in the 1950s so rich U. S. businessmen could also partake in the wholesale rape and robbery of the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island.
All Republican presidents -- including Nixon, Reagan, Bush #1, and Bush #2 -- have benefited massively, both politically and economically, from their tight alignments with the rich and powerful Cuban extremists in Miami and Newark.
But only the current Trump presidency activated Title III of Helms-Burton and that happened in May of 2019. Even President George W. Bush, who owed his two-term presidency to the Little Havana extremists, refused to activate Title III because even Bush considered Title III to be too genocidal against masses of Cuban families on the island. But Trump, without a whimper from the U. S. media nor the U. S. people, activated Title III.
From Day One in the White House starting in January of 2017 President Trump began expanding the U. S. Embargo, in place since 1962, into a genocidal Blockade. But in May of 2019 Trump, totally capitulating to Little Havana extremists, undeniably began committing genocide against masses of Cubans on the island with the activation of Title III...which, of course, also includes more provisions for selected Cubans in the U. S. to keep getting richer and richer!! But greed is not as important as "genocidio" when the U. S. democracy permits only a handful of the most extremist U. S. Cubans and their sycophants to dictate self-serving laws to the United States Congress.
When Cruz, Rubio, and Scott can author a bill in the U. S. Senate entitled "Cut Profits to the Cuban Regime Act of 2020" and neither the mainstream U. S. media nor the U. S. people have the guts to define nor to deter such genocide and greed, then the U. S. government has essentially evolved into what Batista and Luciano had in Cuba prior to the Revolution.
AND BY THE WAY........
Today -- July 18, 2020 -- is International Mandela Day.
And Nelson Mandela's greatest friend was Fidel Castro. Of Mandela, Fidel said: "He was a full, deep and radical revolutionary, who with great stoicism endured 27 years of solitary apartheid confinement. I did not stop admiring his honesty, his modesty and his enormous merit."
The two icons, Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro, co-authored a book together entitled "HOW FAR WE SLAVES HAVE COME!" Mandela died at age 95 on December 5, 2013, in Johannesburg, South Africa. Fidel died at age 90 in Havana, Cuba, on November 25, 2016.
