How Havana Became Little Havana USA
In the 1950's the world's strongest criminal organization, the Mafia, and the world's strongest nation, the United States, supported the brutal Luciano-Lansky-Batista dictatorship in Cuba, a mere 90 miles from Florida.
On January 1, 1959 the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro shocked the world by defeating the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Luciano-Lansky-Batista dictatorship in Cuba.
With massive amounts of money and plenty of firepower, plus the continued support of the U. S. government, beginning in January of 1959 the former leaders of Havana quickly overwhelmed nearby Miami and created Little Havana on U. S. soil. The expectation was that it would take a few weeks, or only a few months at least, to recapture Cuba. Almost seven decades later, that effort is ongoing...although generations of Little Havana leaders have amassed massive wealth and political power within the bowels of the U. S. government.
From January of 1959 until today -- in December of 2020 -- Little Havana has dictated the political and social narratives regarding Cuba, including the island's historic and topical relations with the United States. As far as the USA is concerned, the mass of everyday Cubans in Cuba don't have a right to have a voice about their form of government, only self-serving people in the U. S. like Humberto, shown above, have that right. In that vein, Americans have been told how wonderful it was that, in the 1950s, their U. S. Democracy linked up with the Mafia to support the brutal, thieving Luciano-Lansky-Batista dictatorship in Cuba so rich U. S. individuals and companies could partake in the rape and robbery of the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island nation. Of course, since 1959 Americans have been told what a great government Cuba had prior to the Revolution and, of course, that Revolutionary Cuba since 1959 has been the worst, most brutal, and most corrupt "regime" in the world. FOR EXAMPLE, U. S. propaganda about Cuba rules the roost:
This week -- on December 14th, 2020 -- the Financial Times blasted this typical anti-Cuban propaganda article in print and online. It was written by Michael Bustamante, who obviously...like many Little Havana zealots...is worried that the Trump-to-Biden presidential transition in January of 2021 will ease Trump's genocidal policies against Cubans on the island. So Bustamante's headline, as you can see above, says: "Cuba's dissident protest shows need for more US engagement." And Bustamante's sub-headline above says: "Barack Obama's détente, not hardline Trump sanctions, helped spawn the San Isidro movement." The San Isidro movement in Cuba is a dissident revolt in Cuba supposedly spawned by artists seeking more freedom but the Cuban government {as well as most everyday Cubans as expressed online via Social Media} believe it is yet another anti-Cuban dissident movement financed and promoted from the U. S.
Of course, any Counter Revolutionary Cuban, or their sycophants, can use the Internet or the U. S. media to blare any lie about Cuba that he/she chooses, and expect it to stick. Therefore President Obama's decency towards Cuba that was followed by Trump's genocide have constituted primary lies shoved down the throats of American citizens for the past sixteen years....and that has been typical of Little Havana's grip on the USA's Cuban narratives since 1959. In other words, Michael Bustamente's headline should have said: "Cuba's Dissident Protest Shows Need For Less US Engagement." And Michael Bustamente's sub-headline should have said: "As Honest, Respected Journalist Tracey Eaton Poignantly Proves, Massive U. S. Tax-Dollars Fuel The Dissident Movements in Cuba."
In this month of December-2020, Tracey Eaton -- the USA's most respected journalist when it comes to honest and insightful journalism related to Cuba -- continues to publish the most factual and most important articles regarding Havana-Little Havana and Cuba-U.S. relations. For example, in the article above Tracey Eaton explains that the "The Democracy business in Cuba is bustling." {NO KIDDING!!!}. It has been that way for over six decades but especially in recent years, meaning that Americans and Cubans in the U. S. and Cuba are awash in tax U. S. dollars...supposedly to bring "DEMOCRACY" to Cuba. Of course, after the Spanish-American War in 1898 until the 1950s the U. S. dominated Cuba and had a chance to make sure the island had the greatest DEMOCRACY the Caribbean had ever seen. And, yes, I am talking about the United States that teamed with the Mafia in 1952 to support the brutal, thieving Batista dictatorship that was so extremely brutal that it spawned the victorious Cuban Revolution. Even though the great journalist Tracey Eaton is a beloved Journalism Professor at Flagler College in Florida, his CUBA MONEY PROJECT blog remains the best and only chronicler of the extreme amounts of U.S. tax dollars devoted to Counter Revolution dissidents in the United States and Cuba. Using precise numbers and names acquired via the Freedom of Information Act, Tracey Eaton regularly attaches the exact money down to the pennies that is routinely handed out UNCHECKED to dissidents and a plethora of known and unknown anti-Cuba projects...and, of course, often in front of the pennies there are literally millions of dollars.
Of course, with Little Havana -- from 1959 throughout 2020 -- having control of the Cuban narratives in the United States, including the mainstream U. S. media, Americans are not supposed to consult Tracey Eaton's brilliant and important articles posted regularly by his CUBA MONEY PROJECT updates!!! But democracy lovers and U. S. taxpayers, I believe, should be allowed to know how many of their hard-earned tax dollars end up in the vast LET'S RECAPTURE CUBA piggybank. Long ago, it seems, recapturing Cuba became LESS IMPORTANT than making tons of U. S. dollars on just TRYING to recapture Cuba!!! I assume that the Little Havana and Washington politicians believe that the taxpayers or too stupid or too afraid to object, and any objecting, in any case, would not likely be worth trying.
