Since January of 1959, when the Cuban Revolution booted out the violent but extremely lucrative US/Mafia-backed Batista Dictatorship in Cuba, the vast Counter Revolutionary forces in the nearby U. S. have dominated both the U. S. government and the U. S. media in making sure overthrowing Revolutionary Cuba was never contested when it comes to the American taxpayers-voters and the incomparable U. S. Treasury. That all-out effort from Miami and Washington included well-funded attacks such as a record-number of assassination attempts against Fidel Castro but also targeting others such as Cuba's UN representative killed while walking on a street in New York...but also the April of 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack on Cuba, the terrorist bombing of the civilian Cubana Flight 455 airplane in 1976, the cruel economic Embargo/Blockade that began in February of 1962 and exists into AUGUST of 2023, etc., etc. In all those efforts, the U. S. media has made sure that the American people who funded such things were bombarded by suggestions that, since 1959, the Counter Revolutionaries in Miami and Washington were the nicest people in the world while the Cubans in Cuba were the most terrible people in the world. BUT GUESS WHAT?? In the first week of August of 2023 a major U. S. media source -- The Boston Globe -- has, INCREDIBLY, posted a huge and honest Editorial about Cubans in Cuba who are trying to cope with the drastic expansion of the Six-Decade-Old U. S. Embargo of Cuba by both the Trump and Biden administrations since 2020.
Above today -- on AUGUST 8th-2023 -- are the top two Cuban headlines flashing around the world from the United States. The top one is from the Miami Herald, which since 1959 has promoted the vast Counter Revolutionary Cubans that reside in Miami/Little Havana USA. The bottom headline today is from the Boston Globe, which incredibly is a massive Editorial that speaks the truth about U.S.-Cuban Relations since 1959 and that includes the reasons that the U. S. is expanding its "food" assaults that generations of Cubans in Cuba believe has tried to "starve" them since the U. S. Embargo started way back in 1962. So, as usual, don't depend on the Miami Herald {etc.} telling you about the Embargo, etc., but today you actually have a major Editorial from the Boston Globe that incredibly tells you some truth about it. Below is how it starts:
As you can see above, the first paragraph in today's Boston Globe editorial actually tells the truth about the prime U. S. policy for all these decades to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba includes actually starving the Cuban people to induce them to rise up and overthrow their govenment, the government that overthrew the money-crazed US-backed Batista/Mafia Government that ruled Cuba before 1959's Cuban Revolution altered that situation. Or, as the Boston Globe says today: "The policy of the United States is to bring hunger, desperation, and overthrow the government." So, yes, the purpose of the U. S. economic Embargo of Cuba starting in 1962, according to declassified U. S. documents, was to...starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cuban people starting in 1962 to make them rise up and overthrow their government themselves...after the 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack by the U. S. failed to do it. But after you see that fact explained in the first paragraph today, please read the second paragraph in today's Boston Globe that is brave and honest enough to explain how only the most extremist Counter Revolutionary Cubans and Americans have been able to dictate both Congressional and White House laws designed to starve Cubans on the island while vastly enriching Cubans in the U. S., and the Boston Globe is also honest and brave enough to actually name those politicans such as Robert Toricelli, Jesse Helms, and Dan Burton who are among the many key Washington politicians who did Little Havana's desires and authored famed U. S. laws designed to starve Cubans in Cuba while empowering and enriching Cubans in Miami. Of course, today -- on AUGUST 8th-2023 and every day for the past six decades -- Americans are not supposed to read about the truth regarding such things as...the purpose of the endless Embargo of Cuba, the Torricelli Bill, the Helms-Burton Act, etc., etc.
Yes, for decades the infamous Helms-Burton Act has legalized the U. S. policies designed to starve Cubans on the island. That's why many believe that the Skull & Bones X shown above aptly defines the Helms-Burton Act, although removing it or even easing it is not permitted within the confines of the U. S. democray.
In the pivotal Presidential U. S. Election in 2020, the Republican Donald Trump was replaced by the Democrat Joe Biden. In the USA's two-party political system, Republicans traditionally have been vicious Miami-like hardliners against Revolutionary Cuba since 1959 but some Democratic administrations have advocated easing the harshest U. S. policies against Cuba, such as the six-decade-old Embargo. At the end of his 4-year-old presidential term, Trump gifted the rich and politically powerful Florida Cubans by putting Cuba on the USA's very short list of Nations that Sponsor Terrorism, which many felt the incoming Democrat President Biden would quickly remove. But more than two years later Cuba remains on the drastic Terror List, which permits even more extreme anti-Cuban measures than just those endlessly legalized by U. S. laws such as the Embargo, which alone was/is designed to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans in Cuba to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government, the goverment that overthrew the vile U.S.-backed Batista dictatorship way back in 1959.
The photo above shows long-time U. S. politicians Joe Biden and Bob Menendez. Now President of the United States, the Democrat Biden and the Republican Menendez, an ultra-powerful Cuban-American U. S. Senator, are the two top leaders that now control Cuban policy in Washington in August of 2023. If you study this photo you can realize why the two-party political system in Washington in 2023 is in concert when it comes to tightening the anti-Cuban screws.
Thus, in an era in which current Democrat President Biden refuses to remove former President Trump's designation of Cuba as a Terrorist Sponsor, the most extremist Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami and Washington easily, and almost totally, dictate the USA's Cuban policies in August of 2023.
In a two-party political system when the Democrat and Republican parties are in agreement regarding the demise of Revolutionary rule in Cuba, Helms-Burton-Embargo-Blockade policies continue in August of 2023 to remain supreme regardless of the dark images it creates of the United States and Democracy. Meanwhile, most of the intrigue and the surprise in the past six+ decades revolve around why the world's strongest nation has not been able to overthrow the little, poor island-nation just a few miles south of the superpower United States. Study the images above as you ponder the answer.
