Little Havana Wants Havana & WASHINGTON!!!
Back in the 1950s Rafael Diaz-Balart was a key Minister in the brutal and thieving U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba. In January of 1959 the Cuban Revolution defeated the Batista regime, chasing many of its prime leaders to a new haven in nearby Miami. Quickly on U. S. soil Diaz-Balart began creating Little Havana in the heart of Miami, and he built the very first anti-Castro paramilitary group in South Florida, which he called The White Rose. Backed by huge funds from the ousted Batista dictatorship and by even larger funds and resources from the U. S. government, Diaz-Balart and his cohorts believed they could recapture Cuba within a few weeks, or a few months at the most. It, of course, hasn't happened...making Revolutionary Cuba's longevity, 6+ decades and counting, even more incredible than the Revolution!!! Rafael Diaz-Balart was born in Banes, Cuba, in 1926 the year Fidel Castro was born in nearby Biran, Cuba. They were classmates in the University of Havana Law School, and Fidel's first wife was Mirta Diaz-Balart, Rafael's sister. For sure, Rafael Diaz-Balart died in Key Biscayne, Florida in 2005 as a very rich and powerful man, but his obsession of recapturing Cuba had eluded him. Yet, he left his four sons to continue his mammoth goal.
This photo shows Rafael Diaz-Balart, in the center, flanked by his four sons. The son on the left is a powerful banker named Rafael and the son on the right is a powerful television news anchor in Miami and at NBC News in New York named Jose. The son second from the left is Lincoln Diaz-Balart and the son second from the right is Mario Diaz-Balart. Since 1993, either at the same time or together, Lincoln & Mario, have represented Little Havana/Miami in the United States Congress as fanatically powerful Counter Revolutionary fanatics just like their father Rafael.
This photo shows Rafael Diaz-Balart in the center after he fled the Cuban Revolution and became a very rich and powerful man in both Florida and Spain. Also, that is his father who also was named Rafael and was once the mayor of Bane, Cuba. On the top-right is Lincoln Diaz-Balart who was born 66-years-ago in Havana in 1954 when his dad was a key Minister in the Batista dictatorship. In Miami/Little Havana and then in the U. S. Congress and to this day in June-2021 Lincoln has been an unchecked and powerful force in enriching and empowering Miami/Little Havana while also trying to dethrone the Revolutionary Cubans on the island. On the lower-right is Mario Diaz-Balart, Lincoln's younger brother who also easily got to the U. S. Congress as an unchecked and powerful Counter Revolutionary. HOW POWERFUL? Well, in the U. S. Congress today -- June 7-2021 -- Mario scared Antony Blinken, the top official in President Biden's government. Permit me to explain:
The photo, headline and date shown above says: "State Department Will Continue To Pressure Cuba...Tracey Eaton...June 7, 2021." It was written by Tracey Eaton, the brilliant journalist who is now a beloved Journalism Professor at Flagler College in Florida...and Eaton remains a renowned journalist and a rare one who has both the expertise and courage to write honestly about Cuba. In his last few articles Tracey Eaton has documented how the new Biden administration has used his Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, the same way as the Trump administration used Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, which is to powerfully continue to enrich & empower selected Cuban-Americans while also still continuing to commit genocide against masses of families on the island. The grilling and intimidation by Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart of Antony Blinken today shamed the U. S. and Democracy but pointed out the grip that Little Havana has on the Biden presidency, just as it has dictated America's genocidal policies against innocent Cubans, especially during the three Bush administrations and the one Trump administration.
If you love democracy enough to read Tracey Eaton's words depicted below on June 7, 2021, you will see how Biden's Secretary of State Antony Blinken today assured Counter Revolutionary zealot Mario Diaz-Balart that the Biden presidency will, like the previous Trump presidency, continue to do Little Havana's biding in enriching and empowering Counter Revolutionary Cubans while continuing Trump's genocide against Cuban families on the island.
Above, the June 7-2021 introduction by great journalist Tracey Eaton and the Q & A in which Little Havana's Mario Diaz-Balart intimidated and scared President Biden's top foreign-affairs official, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, should serve as a reminder, I believe, that Little Havana's control of the USA's Cuban policies, even after a Democratic administration has replaced a Republican administration in Washington, is becoming tantamount to the power that Mario Diaz-Balart's dad Rafael had in the 1950's in the Batista dictatorship. Since this has happened since Biden replaced Trump as President, there have been whispers in Miami/Little Havana about not only recapturing Havana but also taking control of Washington, first just regarding Cuban policy, which is now apparent, But SECONDLY regarding everything else, which seems more-and-more feasible as the Biden presidency moves ahead.
During the Trump presidency that ended on Jan. 20-2021, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo dutifully kept announcing increasing the genocide against Cubans on the island while also greatly enriching and empowering Little Havana Cubans. The Trump administration carried out 243 sanctions against Cubans in Cuba or for Cubans in Little Havana. For example, the cruel U. S. Embargo began in 1962 for purpose of starving, depriving, and making miserable the Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government. The original purpose of the Embargo, as proved by de-classified U. S. documents, continues to this day except for the fact that the Cubans have not risen up to overthrow their government. But the infamous Helms-Burton Act, written by lawyers acting at the behest of Little Havana's billionaire Jorge Mas Canosa and Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart, was passed in 1996 and since then has severely enriched and empowered Little Havana Cubans and severely harmed masses of Cubans in Cuba. BUT GUESS WHAT? The Helms-Burton Act has a clause called Title 3 that even the two-term Little Havana-aligned George W. Bush administration refused to activate because even Bush considered it too genocidal to inflict on masses of Cubans on the island although Bush, of course, approved the added means that Title 3 provided for Little Havana Cubans to sue U. S. or FOREIGN companies. But while even the Bush presidency refused to activate Title 3, Trump & Pompeo activated Title 3, which has officially imposed genocide on masses of people on the island and, indeed, has also made is easier for Little Havana Cubans to sue even foreign companies. For example, already in June of 2021 a Swiss company, without even going to a court in Miami to adjudicate it, has agreed to a cash settlement on a case by a Cuban family in Florida. And also, to make it easier for Little Havana Cubans to almost sue anyone they want to sue, in the closing days of the Trump presidency Pompeo announced that Cuba was put on the U. S. List of Terrorist Nations, which remains a joke beneficial to only Little Havana-aligned Cubans and putting Cuba on the Terror List makes it easier for Cubans in the U. S. to sue companies, including foreign companies. Many pay up and settle cases because of the U. S. influence around the world economically.
As of January 20-2021, Antony Blinken has been President Joe Biden's Secretary of State. Many...yes, billions of decent people in the world...hoped that the Democrats that replaced the Republican leaders in Washington would roll back the genocide imposed by the Trump-Pompeo administration on Cuban families. But it hasn't and WON'T HAPPEN!! You see, the Little Havana Cubans who have had the money and power to dictate Cuban policy to the Republicans since 1959 now have the money and power to also dictate Cuban policy to the Democrats. And, unfortunately, the money-crazed U. S. government is ONLY a TWO-PARTY POLITICAL SYSTEM. In other words, in June of 2021 Cuban families on the island are screwed while Cubans in Little Havana Rule the Roost!!
