Little Havana War Drums Still Beat Loudly

 Now Into A Second Week!!

      This photo from NBC-10 News in Miami/Little Havana illustrates the Counter Revolutionary media in the U. S. fanning the flames of the imminent and anticipated overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba. The effort from the rich and politically powerful Little Havana stronghold in Miami has fervently had the backing of the U. S. government since January of 1959 to regain control of the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island, which is 90 miles from Miami. January of 1959 was when the Cuban Revolution overthrew the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship...which then fled to Miami where it created the Little Havana stronghold. Since then Little Havana has increasingly gotten richer and more powerful as it controls the Cuban narrative as well as dictating U. S. Cuban policies. The narrative includes saturating U. S. media with the lie that the nice Cubans are in Little Havana and that the bad Cubans are in Havana. Of course, when decent Cuban-American journalists in Miami, alarmed about deadly terrorist attacks from and in Little Havana against innocent Cubans and Cuban-Americans, the most decent and bravest journalist in Little Havana, Emilio Milian, was car-bombed for having the audacity to loudly denounce such terrorism.
       This, actually, is what NBC-10 News in Miami/Little Havana, and other such U. S. media, is telling its viewers and readers, which is: Only Little Havana's self-serving opinions are allowed about the July-2021 efforts by Little Havana to finally, after 6+ decades, re-capture Havana. Miami/Little Havana is unchecked when it informs Americans that the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship from 1952 till 1959 was the best and kindest government in all of Western Hemisphere history while since 1959 the Revolutionary Cuban government is the worst and most brutal government in Western Hemisphere history. Of course, such insatiable propaganda has made a lot of millionaires and billionaires in Miami and has seen a steady stream of only vicious Counter Revolutionary Little Havana-like Cubans entering the U. S. Congress since 1989 when the Bush Dynasty put Havana-born Iliana Ros-Lehtinen in Congress for three decades...followed shortly by the Diaz-Balart brothers Lincoln and Mario, the sons of the former powerful Minister in the Batista dictatorship before he and other Batista leaders were chased to South Florida as rich and powerful Counter Revolutionaries by the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959.
     Superbly powered by the Bush Dynasty in the 1980s -- CIA Director/VP/President George H. W. Bush, two-term President George W. Bush, and two-term Florida governor Jeb Bush -- Little Havana emerged from not just dominating the economy and politics in Florida but by the 1980s began dominating all Cuban policies emanating from Washington...enacting their own laws such as the Helms-Burton Act that from 1996 until July-2021 has massively enriched Little Havana Cubans...while also also massively assaulting successive generations of Cuban families on the island!!!! Since the 1950s all Republican administrations in Washington have been fully aligned with the Batistianos, first in Havana and since 1959 in Little Havana. But now, beginning in 2021, and for the first time, the Democratic administration headed by President Biden is also dominated by Little Havana USA!!! Americans, of course, are not supposed to know or understand that basic fact but, nevertheless, it is true.
     In the USA's two-party political system, you should know that Democrat Bob Menendez is the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the U. S. Senate while Republican Marco Rubio, of course, would have that powerful Chairmanship if the Republicans were in the majority in the Senate. Both Menendez & Rubio owe their unchecked political power as Cuban-Americans to their extreme radical Counter Revolutionary desires. Making sure that Counter Revolutionary Cubans dominate the U. S. Senate and the House of Representatives {such as first Havana-born Lincoln Diaz-Balart did and now his younger brought Mario Diaz-Balart along with two new 2021 Little Havana additions to Congress, Havana-born Carlos Jimenez and Miami-born Maria Elvira Salazar!! Thus, only extreme Cubans control Cuban policies in the U. S. Congress. The only check on that was when Democratic presidents such as Carter and Obama were in the White House. Now in July of 2021...although a Democrat, Joe Biden, is the President...the extreme financial and political power of Little Havana has erased all checks-and-balances to Little Havana's absolute dictation of Cuban policies...as well as many other policies...in Washington. In that milieu during the Trump presidency, Rubio, a Republican, dictated U. S. Cuban policy that included genocidal policies such as activating Title 3 of Helms-Burton, which even President George W. Bush refused to activate because he well knew it legalized genocide against totally innocent Cuban families on the island. But Trump dictated to by Rubio did activate Title 3 of Helms-Burton, which Americans are not even supposed to know about. But now in 2021, with the Biden presidency dictated to by Menendez, Title 3 of Helms-Burton remains very much activated, and Title 3 of Helms-Burton is still, in July of 2021, imposing genocide against Cuban families on the island...legally, of course...even as the island is also direly plagued by the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
     Because the Democratic Biden administration has continued the activation of Title 3 of Helms-Burton that Trump-Rubio activated, the world's 8 billion people, excepting 340 million Americans, know that Title 3 of Helms-Burton is still being activated in 2021 by the current Biden administration...even, as noted above, Cuban families on the island are reeling from the deadly effects of COVID-19. Thus, in July of 2021 the internationally acclaimed Carlos LaTuff graphic above continues to inform the world that the U. S. is taking advantage of the deadly pandemic to expand the Title 3 of Helms-Burton genocide against Cuban families on the island.
     In July of 2021 to understand how Little Havana in Miami has control of the Cuban narrative and Cuban policies in the United States, you need to know the history and topicality of the photo montage above. On the left is Rafael Diaz-Balart, the patriarch of the Diaz-Balart political dynasty in first Cuba and, after 1959, in the United States. He was mayor of Banes, Cuba. In 1926 his son, also named Rafael, was born in Banes...the same year that Fidel Castro was born in nearby Biran, Cuba. Fidel and Rafael were classmates at the University of Havana Law School, and Fidel married Rafael's sister Mirta. But Rafael became a powerful Minister in the Batista dictatorship where he was a key Interior Secretary and also the Majority Leader of the Cuban House of Representatives during Batista's brutal reign. When Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution overthrew the Batista dictatorship on Jan. 1-1959, Rafael Diaz-Balart was one of the major Batista leaders who fled to nearby Miami, Florida. Flush with money and his hatred of Castro, Rafael created the very first paramilitary group in South Florida that he called the "White Rose" and used it viciously to eliminate Fidel Castro and Revolutionary Cuba. His fervent efforts to do so were not successful by the time he died in Key Biscayne, Florida in 2005...but two of Rafael's four sons -- Lincoln and Mario -- have viciously continued their father's war against Revolutionary Cuba from 2005 until July-2021 both in Florida and in the U. S. Congress in Washington, D. C.
         This is Mario and Lincoln Diaz-Balart. Born in Havana in 1954 in Batista's Cuba, Lincoln represented Little Havana in the U. S. Congress from 1993 until 2011, when he retired his safe seat to resume other White Rose-like anti-Counter Revolutionary efforts. Rich and powerful, Lincoln in 1996 co-wrote the infamous Helms-Burton Act, the congressional law that exists to this day in July of 2021 and continues to enrich and empower Little Havana and torment Cubans on the island. Lincoln's younger brother Mario was born in 1961 in South Florida. Mario has represented Little Havana in the U. S. Congress since 2002. So at least one of the Diaz-Balart brothers have been in the U. S. Congress from 1993 till today.
      Little Havana in Miami began controlling Florida's economy and politics in 1959 but the photo above shows the moment that Little Havana began controlling Cuban policies in the whole United States in 1989. In 1989 Havana-born Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, with Jeb Bush as her Campaign Manager, was elected as Little Havana's first member to enter the U. S. Congress. From a vehement anti-revolutionary Cuban family, her election to Congress later, of course, made Jeb Bush a two-term Governor of Florida. And with the powerful financial and political power of the Bush dynasty, Ros-Lehtinen served in the U. S. Congress from 1989 till 2020 as a vehement Counter Revolutionary leading Little Havana's charge against Havana.
       With the financial and political muscle of both Little Havana and the Bush dynasty, Ros-Lehtinen began making sure that other prime Little Havana Counter Revolutionaries were elected to the U. S. Congress, including both Diaz-Balart brothers, Lincoln and Mario.
      Soon, Ros-Lehtinen had a long string of her prime Little Havana Counter Revolutionaries in the U. S. Congress -- including the Diaz-Balart brothers, Senator Marco Rubio, etc.
      Even after she retired after three decades in Congress, Ros-Lehtinen can still get her vicious Counter Revolutionary Little Havana proteges elected from Miami to the United States Congress. That includes Maria Elvira Salazar who was elected to Congress from Miami starting in January of 2021. Already in July of 2021 Congresswoman Salazar is ubiquitously appearing on Fox News and all the other right-wing outlets promoting Little Havana's current overthrow of Havana that began in earnest on July 11th-2021 with demonstrations in Little Havana and in Cuba. Taking full advantage of Little Havana's full control of the Cuban narrative in the U. S. media, Salazar has even been loudly preaching on national TV that "THERE IS NO U. S. EMBARGO AGAINST CUBA, just the murderous Castro regime brutalizing the Cuban people in Cuba." Of course, with it tight grip on all the Cuban cards in the United States deck, Little Havana can get away with any lie it chooses.
      This is the world's view of the U. S. Embargo against Cuba that was first imposed in 1962 for the purpose of "starving, depriving, and making miserable" Cubans on the island to induce them to overthrow their Revolutionary government and re-install Miami/Little Havana Cubans as the rulers on the Caribbean island. The longevity of the EMBARGO easily makes it history's longest and cruelest EMBARGO ever imposed by any powerful nation against any much-weaker nation. Yes, it has existed since 1962 because cowardly generations of U. S. citizens -- afraid of Little Havana -- have allowed it to exist!!
     It was Little Havana-produced Rubio's dictation of President Trump's Cuban policies that activated Title 3 of Helms-Burton and expanded the cruel U. S. Embargo into a genocidal Blockade, which continues full-bore in July, 2021.
      Unfortunately, in the USA's two-party political system, the Republican TRUMP-Rubio presidency has been followed by the Democratic BIDEN-Menendez presidency. That means that in July of 2021 only extremely radical Counter Revolutionary Cubans still dictate the USA's genocidal Cuban policies. Unfortunately, the USA's money-crazed political system creates lifelong incumbencies, such as Biden who has been a Senator, Vice President and now President dating back half-a-CENTURY!! And the controversial Menendez has been ultra-powerful in the U. S. Senate since 1996 although his last six-year term as Senator came when he was easily re-elected right after an expensive hung-jury verdict ended in serious federal felony U. S. charges against Menendez NOT BEING re-tried.
     And thus, Little Havana continues its grip on the USAs's Cuban policies even though a Democratic administration has replaced Republicans as the power-broker in Washington in both the Congress and the White House. You see, money is all-powerful. The entire world opposes the Embargo-Blockade as the UN vote each year reveals. OXFAM, the London-based organization that has powerful offices in Washington and other major cities around the world, currently is focused on ending the U. S. genocide against Cubans in Cuba with it's massive program build on the universal belief that Cuban women and children "DON'T DESERVE TO BE FACING A BLOCKADE!!!" And, in fact, it even doesn't matter if ultra-powerful Democratic members in the U. S. Congress such as Alexandria Ocasio Contez rail against the genocidal Little Havana assault on masses of Cubans on the island. As you can see above, the Congresswoman known as AOC decently and loudly, like the rest of the non-Little Havana world, decries the "ABSURDLY CRUEL" embargo of Cuba.
      Worldwide, leaders who are not under Little Havana's grip decried the genocide against Cubans in Cuba that appeases Cubans in Little Havana, in Congress, and in the White House. Typical is the quotation shown above from Alberto Fernandez, the President of Argentina: "If we are really concerned abut Cuba, let's end the blockades." In other words, President Fernandez of Argentina, like most other world leaders, bows to the USA's unique economic and military power...but they will loudly denounce one facet of the USA's democracy, and that is the genocide against masses of Cuban families in Cuba even as the policy continues to enrich and empower some USA families.
