cubaninsider: Cuba Excoriates "Undemocratic" USA

"World's Greatest Purveyor of Genocide"

Cuba has actually had a New Leader for over two years. President Miguel Diaz-Canel in late August of 2020 admits that he is "ashamed that my island nation's northern border is 90 miles from the world's greatest purveyor of genocide against masses of totally innocent people who happen to be the people I try to protect. The U. S. is a fake democracy allowing a handful of Cuban-American scoundrels in Miami and Newark to keep get richer and more powerful on the backs of Cuban families that are comprised of much more decent human beings."

Shown on November 15, 2019, President Miguel Diaz-Canel is now been the undisputed leader of Cuba. He was born in Placetas, Cuba, on April 20th, 1960 -- after the triumph of the January 1-1959 Cuban Revolution. Since his people-oriented stint as the island's former Minister of Education, Diaz-Canel has been a favorite of most Cubans who heartily approve of the way he has handled relations with the United States and, since March of 2020, with how he has dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel, in the light shirt above, personally selected Manuel Marrero as Cuba's Prime Minister and the second most important official in the day-to-day herculean efforts charged with navigating the vulnerable island past both the latest Republican administration in Washington and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cuba, with its stringent universal free health system, has been one of the successful stories in the worldwide fight against COVID-19. The government has begun opening tourist hotels and airports and also has announced that "Universities will open their doors on September 1, except in Havana, Artemisa and Mayabeque."

But punching back against the Trump presidency in Washington is even more of a problem that COVID-19.

In the closing days of August-2020 President Diaz-Canel has drastically sharpened his dialogue regarding President Trump, especially blaming him for exacerbating "a money-diluted so-called democracy that ends up electing a Trump as President." He added: "In the money-crazed November 3rd election, the Americans have a stake but the Cuban people in Cuba have a larger stake. That's because in the so-called U. S. democracy the American people are either too stupid or propagandized or otherwise simply unable to even ingest and spit out the murderous genocide the so-called democracy routinely directs at Cuban families during all Republican regimes, with Trump's being the worst that has been totally at the mercy of a few criminal Little Havana and Congressional Cubans. When the American people are unable or unwilling to even discuss U. S. genocide against families in a small island nation, it takes cowards to allow Trump to keep claiming that the United States still is a democracy. In fact, no government, including so-called democracies, should be able to commit genocide on a much-smaller nation because it has historic wealth and extreme nuclear militaries. The nuclear-powered Superpower off our northern border is the world's greatest purveyor of unchecked genocide against masses of totally innocent families, and what makes that possible is the ignorance or the silencing of the U. S. people who are apparently too afraid to admit that their cowardice makes them enablers of a criminal and fake democracy, one that employs sanctions and genocide as a tool wielded by salacious people few Americans know...how many know who Mauricio Claver-Carone is, for example. But everyday I try to deal with Claver-Carone's genocide against Cuban families."

So, even if Americans don't know who Mauricio Claver-Carone is, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel does know.

Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel often uses street-walks, meetings, and statewide radio and television to communicate with the Cuban people. But he also is very active on Social Media, as are most Cubans now. In the Tweet above on August 22nd-2020 Diaz-Canel revealed his frustration about Google-owned YouTube capitulating to the U. S. to block Cuba media sites -- including Granma reports as well important television news sources Round Table and Cubanvision International. Diaz-Canel said that "U.S. criminals targeting Cuban families this week wanted to deny legitimate and honest reports concerning a new COVID-19 treatment dedicated scientists in Cuba are developing, and as usual the U. S. democracy allows only a few extremists to dictate Cuban policies." In the Tweet above translated from Spanish to English, Diaz-Canel said:

"Cuban scientists explain details about a vaccine candidate against COVID-19 in the clinical trials phase. Some who do not want the world to know about our vaccine blocked Cuban digital channels. Anyway, they haven't vaccinated anyone and the puncture hurt." "Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez; Via Twitter and Diaz Canel B.?"

As referenced by Cuban President Diaz-Canel, Cuba's Finlay Institute is well respected even by many U. S. doctors for such things as a renowned lung cancer vaccine and a treatment that drastically reduced diabetic amputations, etc. It now is beginning trials on a COVID-19 drug that the Finlay scientists are excited about.

As illustrated by photos like the one above, and as is well-known to people who actually visit Cuba, President Miguel Diaz-Canel is well-liked and strongly supported by a strong majority of the Cubans on the island. He told the BBC, "Cubans got to know me when I was Education Minister and, if they didn't want me as their President, I would not serve in this office for a single day. I am aware that the propaganda media in the United States is obligated to only tell negative lies about Cuba, but thankfully the Cuban media is honest and doesn't try to disrespect the intelligent and well-informed Cuban people. Also, beyond the United States there are foreign and honest media sources that report fairly from Cuba about Cuba."

Cuba President Miguel Diaz-Canel said that the London-based BBC has been "critical of me at times but is honest, and I accept and learn from honest criticism."

And President Diaz-Canel says the London-based The Guardian "has been especially critical of me but it has honest and legitimate journalists, and I fully accept that. I don't expect the Cuban media or foreign media to fawn over me. And it surprises me that the U. S., which still projects itself as a democracy, no longer has anything resembling an honest media, and it appears the American people have come to accept that. I agree that the first thing a good government needs a viable and honest media, and includes the United States."

Indeed, President Diaz-Canel often appears on statewide radio and television programs discussing items that involve questions from citizens concerned about various problems. In the photo above Diaz-Canel stopped in a crowded street to answer question posed by popular journalist Rosy Amaro Perez, who is not afraid to present critical questions to the Cuban leader.

A popular anchor at the state-run Cubavision International television operation, Rosy Amaro overall supports the Revolutionary Cuban government but she often is supportive of things that everyday Cubans criticize about their leaders. Rosy Amaro says, "Cuban journalist have smart phones and know what the Internet informs us. We are amazed how routinely U. S. networks and major print media sources assume that their viewers and readers are ignorant and unable to know the difference between propaganda, lies, and the truth. As Cuban journalists we believe the Cuban people readily know such differences and, of course, we journalists know that."

Cuba's President Diaz-Canel himself also apparently checks on the U. S. media. He said, "I was born in 1960, the year after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. But I am aware that the American people, in their democracy, have been lied thoroughly about U.S.-Cuban relations, such as sanitizing the U. S. support of its total alignment with the top echelon of Mafia criminals, including Lucky Luciano, to support the brutal Batista rule of Cuba, which spawned the necessary Cuban Revolution. Since Cuba finally gained sovereignty in January of 1959, as far as I know the U. S. has lied to the American people every day about Revolutionary Cuba, just as it lied to the American people about why it aligned with the Mafia during the Batista dictatorship."

As for U. S. President Donald Trump, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel says, "Trump is emblematic of the fact that U. S. citizens accept Republican presidents who are fully controlled by the most vicious Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami known as the Little Havana cabal. The Republican White House at the start of the 1950s chose the Mafia as its partner in brutalizing and robbing Cuba by supporting the Fulgencio Batista regime. After Batista's overthrow by the Cuban Revolution in 1959, every Republican administration, especially the three Bush presidencies, tried to deprive and starve the Cubans on the island to make them rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary leaders, but two generations born after the victory of the Revolution, including me, know how vicious the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia rule was. We prefer it not be returned. The Embargo/Blockade since 1962 has been genocidal but under Trump it has become a much-more genocidal Blockade, not just an economic Embargo. For the American citizens to condone that, I believe, explains how weak the U. S. democracy has become. For example, the people in the UK, Spain, Norway, Germany, and many such democraties would never condone their governments committing genocide against everyday families in smaller nations, and I believe the U. S. people are the only people would allow Trump's current attempt to commit genocide on behalf of Little Havana against Havana and all of Cuba."

The above comment was a reply from Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel to a British citizen named Andrea Guthrie. She was stranded on a cruise ship in the Caribbean in dire conditions with thousands of other Brits by the COVID-19 pandemic. No other nation came to their aid, except Cuba. Andrea Guthrie, after returning to England, lavished praise on Cuba and its people...and President Diaz-Canel responded to Anthea's extreme praise on social media and in the media.

This is the sun-burned Anthea Guthrie after Cuba helped her return to England after being stranded on the cruise ship in the Caribbean when the passengers and crew were denied entry to other nearby Caribbean and and Florida ports because of the COVID-19 scare. As Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel was asked by the BBC about his reactions after getting such gracious thanks for the British people, he said, "For one thing, it reminds me yet again that in the Superpower democracy that happens to be Cuba's northern neighbor, Americans are often too afraid to say anything nice about Cuba. I am glad the British do have such freedom."

More and more, as above, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Balart makes this point: "Anti-Cuban extremists such as Marco Rubio in Miami and in Congress and in network television are the only ones allowed in the United States to speak for the Cuban people in Cuba. And the U. S. Cubans like Rubio have never been to Cuba to know the Cuban people. I long for the day when the U. S. democracy is strong enough to allow the Cuban people in Cuba to speak for themselves. When the American people in the U. S. are allowed to know about Cuba from people like Rubio, that says much more about the U. S. than it says about Cuba. I, as the President of Cuba, want the Cuban people in Cuba to speak for themselves. I don't want Rubio to speak for them. As for Rubio's claims that Little Havana's Miami Cubans have a noose around Cuba, the more he tries to tighten that noose shames him and the United States more than it shames Cuba."

As the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel directly sends barbs back at Marco Rubio, who regularly claims from his exalted perches in Little Havana and in Congress that he "WANTS TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN CUBA." Cuba's President Diaz-Canel responds this way: "Rubio is a blatant liar and even the propagandized U. S. people should know that every word Rubio says about Cuba is a lie. He wants to starve, deprive, and eviscerate the Cubans on the island to feather his economic and political nests, and he does that by appeasing the extremist Cubans in Little Havana, his mentors who jerk his chains. As he proclaims to speak for the Cubans on the island, the Cubans on the island...except the few bought off by Little Havana and the U. S. government...detest his vile words as vicious and cruel lies."
