CUBA: First Week of May-2022

     The mainstream U. S. media -- from Miami to Washington to New York City to Los Angeles, etc. -- is not about to tell the truth about U.S.-Cuban relations in the first week of MAY-2022, but the Paris-based global AFP AGENCY {Agence France-Presse} is a source that is truthful. The AFP update today -- May 4th-2022 -- focused on Democratic President Biden's Cuban policies being as genocidal and as similar as the Cuban policies of his predecessor, Republican President Trump. Cuba in the first week of 2022 is a major victim of the U. S. two-party political system now in which both have self-serving draconian Cuban policies. Last month, in April, the U. S. actually talked to Cuba for the first time in over four years because the U. S. has a migration problem that involves Cuban migrants.

    The AFP today -- May 4th-2022 -- also reports fairly that the U. S. Embassy in Havana has, for the first time since 2017, resumed issuing visas. 

    Unlike the mainstream U. S. media, the Paris-based AFP News Agency has reported fairly today about the thousands of Cubans that are flocking to the U.S.-Mexican border in desperate efforts to enter the United States because the Blockade/Embargo, coupled with the Pandemic, has created perhaps the worst financial situations in Cuba since the U. S. first began the Embargo in 1962. In the AFP article today we are told that one of the latest young Cubans to defect from the island on the way to the U. S. is Ismael Berrero, who won a wrestling Gold Medal in the Beijing Olympics. Miami & Newark partisans especially rejoice when famed young Cubans defect.

    From 2009 to 2017 Joe Biden was Vice President under President Barack Obama. It turned out that Obama was the first U. S. President since 1959 -- the year the Cuban Revolution overthrew the U.S.-backed & Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship -- to visit Cuba and tell them that "no longer do you need to fear the United States." He meant that promise and, among other brave and sane things, reopened the U. S. Embassy in Havana in 2016 to serve Cubans and Americans...and, briefly, Cubans in Cuba actually did not "FEAR" their superpower northern neighbor.

     But in January of 2017 the Republican Donald Trump replaced the Democrat Barack Obama as President of the United States. As President of the U.S., Trump immediately ended every positive Obama overture to Cuba and, as shown above, Trump quickly went to Miami and announced that he was returning the U. S. Cuban policies totally back over to only the most extreme Counter Revolutionary Cubans who long-ago, starting in 1959, had built a gold mine as well as massive political power in Little Havana.

    Since the 1950s all Republican presidencies -- especially the three Bush administrations and the one TRUMP administration -- have been 100% aligned with the Miami Cubans, from Batista in the 1950s to Rubio in 2022. But in 2017 when the Republican Trump was replaced as President by the Democrat Biden, many believed that Biden -- who been Obama's Vice President for 8 years -- would end the Trump-inspired genocide against Cubans on the island. But within the bowels of the USA's two-party political system, Cubans on the island in May of 2022 believe Biden has self-servingly followed TRUMP'S Cuban policies.

     After the Cuban Revolution defeated the Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba on January 1st-1959, two U. S. cities -- Miami & Newark -- quickly became the strongholds of Cuban counter revolutionary political and financial power. And now -- after the Trump-Biden/Republican-Democratic transition -- the Republican Marco Rubio from Miami and the Democrat Bob Menendez from Newark have been the prime dictators of the USA's Cuban policies. For example...it is not coincidental that in the past five+ years Rubio & Menendez have alternated being the powerful Chairmen of the Foreign Relations Committee in the United States Senate. And, of course, no one in the mainstream media is about to ever ask..."Why, in either Republican or Democratic administrations, can only Cubans-Americans from Miami or Newark control U. S. policy regarding Cuba...and be labeled 'Chairmen?'"
