cubaninsider: The U.S. Plan to Starve Cubans

The Befactactors Rejoice!!
Cubans In Cuba React!!!

The London-based Reuters News Agency has an excellent bureau in Havana that includes Sarah Marsh. She actually roams the island and shares the positives and negatives, which now are led by a recovery phase to get past the Coronavisus pandemic that for months has shut off its vital tourism industry. But the major negative remains the genocidal Blockade that the Trump presidency has permitted a few greedy, obsessed Little Havana denizens in Miami and in Congress to impose on the island's 11.2 million people. As Sarah Marsh has experienced herself and then reported to the world, the U. S. and Little Havana have taken advantage of the COVID-19 virus to tighten the economic Blockade so, while Trump remains in office, it will starve masses of Cuba to induce them to do what Little Havana and the United States have been unable to do since 1959, which is to recapture Cuba to honor the Batista-Mafia regime that ruled with USA support till it was chased by the Cuban Revolution from Havana to its new capital of Little Havana/Miami in January of 1959. Now this week -- the first week of July, 2020 -- Sarah Marsh's Reuters article is entitled: "Facing Crises, Cuba Calls On Citizens To Grow More Of Their Own Food." It's an important update that reflects two basis facts: {1} The Cuban people do not relish a return of the Batistiano-Mafiosi remnants in Little Havana; but {2} The Cuban people also do not want Little Havana to starve them to death. Thus, as Sarah Marsh reports, the Cuban people are reacting to their government's request to grow more of their own food.

For example, the photo above courtesy of the Paris-based AFP News Agency shows a Cuban on the edge of Havana preparing lettuce on his plot of land that the Cuban government provided to him for the purpose of cultivating food for his family but also for him to sell in Havana.

One of the high-ranked Cuban officials strongly promoting the island's own food production is Jose Ramon Machado Ventura. Now 89-years-old, he is the most representative of the legacy revolutionaries. A medical doctor from the University of Havana, Ramon Machado was one of the first rebels who arrived in the Sierra Maestra Mountains determined to overthrow the Batista dictatorship. This week, regarding his quest for Cuba to grow more of its own food instead of having to pay several billions of dollars a year to buy about 70% of it abroad, Ramon Machado told Sarah Marsh, "Cuba can and must develop its own program of self-sustainability definitely and with urgency, in the face of the U. S. blockade and the food crisis COVID-19 will leave us."

Meanwhile in the United States, the three U. S. Senators shown above -- Bob Menendez from New Jersey, Marco Rubio from Little Havana, and Rick Scott whose vicious anti-Cuba political career is completely controlled by Little Havana -- surely rejoice when Sarah Marsh at Reuters writes another article this week about the "urgent" food shortages evolving on the island as decent parents massively struggle to try to make sure their babies and children are fed. All the while, the children of rich and powerful miscreants such as Menendez, Rubio, and Scott bask in the laps of luxury in the nearby United States. {Check their Wikipedia bios and learn about their controversial paths to fame and fortune}. All the while, this Trio in the U. S. Senate does not have to answer to the U. S. media nor to the U. S. people for what many decent people consider their taking advantage of the Trump presidency and the Coronavirus pandemic to escalate their lucrative genocidal tactics against Cuban families on the island. In recent days, as Sarah Marsh tells the world about increasing food shortages in Cuba, this Trio is doing cruel things such as using U. S. Senate stationery to write warning letters to other nations about doing business with Cuba such as using Cuban doctors to fight COVID-19!!! If, by chance, some money seeps into the island despite the genocidal blockade This Trio continually is able to construct another executive order from Trump or create another bill in Congress to block it. Emphasizing how much America and its Democracy have been been impacted by Little Havana since 1959, it doesn't matter how controversial This Trio has been in using their anti-Cuban zealotry to feather their own economic and political nests...while STARVING Cubans on the island.

Going on seven decades after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, today...in July of 2020...benefactors like these three can make enormous economic and/or political gains by starving and depriving totally innocent and non-controversial Cuban families on the nearby island. Of course, dictating the Cuban narrative in the U. S..."The good Cubans are in Miami, Newark, and the Congress while the bad Cubans are on the island"...shames America and Democracy far more than it shames Cuba.

In the 1950's the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Fulgencio Batista dictatorship created a passel of millionaires among the Batistianos, the Mafiosi, and U. S. businessmen.

But neither Batista, nor Mafia kingpins like Lucky Luciano, nor the U. S. businessmen, nor their political supporters in Washington had enough intelligence to at least throw some crumbs at the majority Cuban peasants. They believed that children and mothers like the ones depicted above didn't matter nor could they ever threaten Batista's dictatorship.

The Mafia in control of Cuba in the 1950's simply believed that their dictatorship in an island nation could not possibly be threatened. After all, it was supported by the strongest nation in the entire world and by the strongest criminal organization in the entire world.

But the stupidest thing the Batistiano-Mafiosi leaders in Cuba in the 1950's did was to unmercifully brutalize the non-elitist Cubans, including unspeakable murders {"asesinators"} of children {"HIJOS"} to supposedly quell dissidents. But such unfathomable cruelty had the opposite effect, as displayed by the brave Cuban mothers shown above. Inflaming the passions of Cuban mothers {"MADRES CUBANAS"} was the inspiration that spawned a revolution that, indeed, could defeat a dictatorship in a small country supported by the strongest nation in the world and the strongest criminal organization in the world.

However, the victory of the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959...while shocking the world...also had another resounding offshoot: It chased the Batistiano leaders all the way to nearby Miami, a phenomenon that means that the astounding Cuban Revolution has, in essence, changed America's landscape even more than it has changed Cuba's.

Indeed, Little Havana, Miami in the past six+ decades has changed the U. S. even more than Havana itself has been changed on the island, which says right much. But because the United States, the world's richest nation, dwarfs Cuba when it comes to being a financial mecca, the Cuban Revolution unwittingly created Cuban billionaires in Little Havana while in Batista's Cuba in the 1950's only a few millionaires were created by Cuban loot.

As the three images depicted directly above vividly reveal, the longevity of the Cuban Revolution has been even more shocking than the revolutionary triumph in January of 1959. The U.S.-Cuban exile air-land-and-sea military attack in April of 1961 known as the Bay of Pigs turned out to be a massive defensive victory for Fidel Castro and his rebels, solidifying the island's larger-than-ever impact on the international stage. Unable to recapture Cuba, the U. S. and the exiles by 1962 had initiated history's longest and cruelest Embargo-Blockade ever imposed by a strong nation against a small nation. And yet, incredibly, after all these decades Revolutionary Cuba has not been defeated nor has it succumbed to the cruel Embargo-Blockade.

The photo above illustrates that, indeed, the U. S. has been changed more than Cuba by the pugnacious and indomitable Cuban Revolution. All Republican presidents since the 1950's have been directed and at the mercy of Little Havana. Above, President Trump...at the direction of Little Havana's Marco Rubio who is standing over ominously over Trump's right shoulder...is hosting in the White House remaining Bay of Pigs attackers from Miami that Americans are obliged to toast as American heroes. Apart from the Cuban equation, attackers from a powerful nation who attack a small nation, and lose, are not heralded as super heroes.

As the above Celia Sanchez montage...followed by the revealing porch photo...reveal, neither the Revolutionary War nor Revolutionary Cuba would have been possible without the passionate leadership of the petite doctor's daughter. With Fidel Castro's full support during the war and afterward, Celia Sanchez was the heart and soul of Cuba. Thus, before she died of cancer on Jan. 11-1980 at age 59, I believe that Celia Sanchez is responsible for the two most definitive quotes related to her Revolution.
