U. S. Terrorism vs. Cuba Remembered!!
In the annals of U.S.-Cuba Relations since 1959, when the Cuban Revolution defeated the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba, vicious terror acts against innocent people perpetrated by Cubans in the U. S. are too many to mention. But today -- September 4th, 2021 -- is an anniversary of one historically heinous act that took place in a Havana hotel lobby. A young Italian tourist named Fabio Di Celmo was killed by an explosion intended to persuade tourists from visiting Revolutionary Cuba, which the U. S. was trying to starve into submission. The most famous U.S.-Cuban terrorist, Luis Posada Carriles, famously told the New York Times that victims like Fabio were "collateral damage."
Of course, in the U. S. after 1959 Posada could brag about such things because Americans were told that the Cubans who fled the overthrow of Batista were the good guys and the Cubans still on the island were the bad guys. And, of course, the Batista Cubans had more than enough money and firepower to overpower Miami, which was important because it often dictated Florida's hugely vital Electoral Votes that predicated presidential elections in the United States. Fabio Di Celmo was born in Genoa, Italy, on June 1-1965. His father Gustino, as you can see above, spent the rest of his own life living in Havana and trying to let the world that his son was murdered by a famed U.S.-Cuban who could actually brag about it.
The American people in the 1950s were told not to question that the U. S., which came out of World War II in 1945 as the strongest and richest nation in the world, chose in 1952 to pick the Mafia as its partner in supporting the brutal, thieving Batista dictatorship in Cuba. At the same time the U. S. also supported other brutal, thieving dictators in the Caribbean and Latin America -- such as Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Somoza in Nicaragua, etc., etc. Obviously, the U. S. preferred such dictators to democracies because such dictators supposedly would do something democracies would not do, which was to allow rich American companies to partake in the rape and robbery of smaller countries such as Cuba, the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island. Back in the 1950s, to support their dictators, the U. S. had the secretive Army of the Americans at Fort Benning in Georgia where friendly dictatorships sent their soldiers and policemen to be trained by U. S. taxpayers, and then sent back to those dictatorships to protect those dictators. Today in September of 2021 Americans are not supposed to know the significance of the photo and caption depicted above. It shows and explains that Luis Posada Carilles was typical of dozens of young Cuban men who fled the Batista dictatorship in 1959 who were immediately sent by the U. S. government to Fort Benning in Georgia to become soldiers in Brigade 2506, which was the U.S. army unit that was formed in 1959 to quickly recapture Cuba. As you can see above, Posada, and many other Cubans like him, graduated from Fort Benning as a 2nd Lt. in the U. S. Army's Brigade 2506. Supported by U.S.-friendly dictators Trujillo and Somoza, Brigade 2506 launched an air-land-sea attack on Cuba at the Bay of Pigs in April of 1961, which Revolutionary Cuba quite ceremoniously and completely defeated. Since the Bay of Pigs, Revolutionary Cuba has, incredibly, survived all-out U. S. efforts to recapture the island...with Brigade 2506 veterans such as Luis Posada Carilles playing major roles as terrorists receiving tax-dollar salaries.
Of course, the terrorist act that Posada is most famously tied to occurred on October 6, 1976. That was when a terrorist bomb blew the civilian Cubana Flight 455 into the ocean, killing all 72 people on board, including two dozen teenage athletes who has just won a Central American Championship and were flying home triumphantly.
Yes, America...like all victims of senseless terrorism, Cuban sisters and mothers also cry endlessly about the loved ones they have lost. Meanwhile, in the United States, Posada lived a long and protected life as an unabashed and avowed U. S. terrorist against Revolutionary Cuba.
The USA's most famous terrorist, Posada, was born in Cienfuegos, Cuba, in 1928. He died peacefully in his 90s in South Florida in 2018. As you can see above, history as well as de-classified U. S. documents tie Posada to gruesome terrorist acts against innocent Cubans. Of course, on September 4th, 2021 -- the anniversary of Posada's deadly hotel bombing in Havana -- Americans are still being told that all the good Cubans are in the U. S. and all the bad Cubans are in Cuba. Therefore, of course, Americans are supposed to meekly keep all those tax dollars flowing from Washington to Miami while also meekly accepting the USA's Congressional and White House laws that routinely keep expanding legal Blockade genocide against masses of Cubans on the island to appease the good Cubans who control the ultra-powerful Electoral Votes in Florida that often predicate presidential elections in the whole United States!!
Of course, FOR SURE, Americans are not supposed to be ashamed of this image of the United States of America, but the rest of the world is ashamed of it. The great Brazilian editorial cartoonist Carlos LaTuff correctly hereby depicts the United States EMBARGO imposed on Cuba in 1962 right after the 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack failed to recapture Cuba!!
Carlos LaTuff and billions around the world are especially ashamed of this image of the United States, which explains that the Trump & Biden administrations have both expanded the EMBARGO in the past two years while the COVID-19 pandemic is also ravaging the island.
And Carlos LaTuff along with billions around the world are especially ashamed of the stated purpose of the EMBARGO, which was imposed in 1962 after the Bay of Pigs military attacked failed to recapture Cuba. De-classified documents reveal the purpose: starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government. After all these decades, it has surely starved, deprived, and made miserable generations of Cuban on the island, but the world and Carlos LaTuff...as illustrated above...admire the fact that Little Cuba continues to survive history's all-time longest and cruelest EMBARGO ever imposed by a much-larger nation against the people in a much-smaller nation. But...tuh...Americans are surely not supposed to admire LaTuff's pugnacious little Cuban girl shown above. And, for sure, Americans in September of 2021 are supposed to keep supporting the EMBARGO that Carlos LaTuff and the world have been ashamed of since 1962!!
