Cruelty to most, Lucrative to a Few!!
This interesting photo was taken today in Havana. At the end of this post today I will explain its meaning. But first, today's top Cuban headline.
The top Cuban Headline circling around the globe today on September 23rd, 2022 was published by London's international INDEPENDENT newspaper. The headline says: "Travelers who have visited Cuba in the last 11 years will need visa to enter US" and the Sub-Headline says: "Trump's final travel act, ranking the island alongside Iran, North Korea and Syria, could affect hundreds of thousands UK holidaymakers." The article quickly explained that Trump's last acts included putting Cuba on the Sponsors of Terror list, which allows rich Trump-donors in Miami to sue Cuba in U. S. courtrooms, and Trump legalized other cruel and stupid but lucrative Cuba-related policies. Most importantly, this worldwide article explains that, in the USA's two-party political system, the current DEMOCRAT President Joe Biden "has continued" the ignorant, cruel, and asinine policies established by the REPUBLICAN Trump who preceded Biden as President.
During the Trump presidency these are the four architects who created the cruelest {for Cubans in Cuba} policies but also the lucrative policies {for Cubans in Miami}. For example, this is the quartet that legalized Title 3 of the Helms-Burton Act, which not even the Miami-aligned President George W. Bush had REFUSED to activate because Bush considered it too cruel to impose on innocent families in Cuba. BUT THE QUARTET ABOVE LEGALIZED TITLE 3!!
Of course, beginning on January 20th of 2021 many observers believed that the Democrat President Joe Biden would reverse at least the cruelest of Republican President Donald Trump's Cuban policies, such as Title 3. But today -- on September 23rd, 2022 -- London's worldwide newspaper, the Independent, reminded the world that Biden "has continued" Trump's cruel Cuban policies.
Of course, the drastic decline of the mainstream U. S. media means that most Americans have no idea why the "skull & bones" shown above is attached to the infamous Helms-Burton Act that to this today makes Cubans in the U. S. very rich and makes Cubans in Cuba very poor, or worse.
And for sure most Americans have no idea what Title 3 of Helms-Burton means. But to repeat: Thanks to Trump & Biden, it means riches for U. S. Cubans and poverty, or worse, for Cuba's Cubans.
And of course, making sure that Americans don't understand what U. S. policies regarding Cuba mean is why, decade after decade since 1959, such legal U. S. laws as Helms-Burton and Title 3 exist!!
Meanwhile, today -- September 23, 2022 -- this photo was taken in Havana by one of the Caribbean's most talented and renowned photographers, Roberto Suarez. The photo says, "Hey, the U. S. blockade hasn't starved me...at least, not yet!!!!"
