And Other US-CUBA Terror!!!!
As of MAY DAY -- May 1st, 2020 -- Cuba now totals 64 deaths from the Coronavirus pandemic.
But on May Day in 2020 most of Cuba's 11.5 citizens are more worried about the U. S. blockade of the island during the last six months of President Trump's first term as President of the United States. Yesterday a North Texas man who has long ties to Miami used a high-powerful rifle to fire multiple shots at the Cuban embassy in Washington.
This Sarah Silbiger/Getty Images photo shows the rifle pockmarks against the front of the Cuban embassy, which show the seriousness of the attack. Cuba says that none of its staff was hurt but that it "was an act of terror that continues the Trump assaults on the sovereignty of the Cuban people to appease the appetites of unchecked criminals."
Forty-two-year-old, Cuban-born Alexander Alazo Hernandez was arrested by the Washington police and the Secret Service and charged with "the intent to kill." The photos above are courtesy of Tracey Eaton.
While the Cuban Embassy in Washington was being shot-up the U. S. Embassy in Havana was being guarded by U. S. Marines. Both embassies had been opened for the first time since 1962 by President Barack Obama but when Donald Trump became America's latest Republican president in 2017, both embassies were tightly closed, at least as embassies.
For example, Cuba has been adamant about accusing Mara Tekach, the USA's charge d'Affaires at the U. S. Embassy in Havana, "as spending all her time as only a funder and supporter of Cuban dissidents on the island such as Jose Daniel Ferrer." As a matter of fact, on May Day in Cuba today -- May 1st, 2020 -- the Cuban media had video of Cubans berating Mara Tekach as she was shown exiting a big car with Ferrer, apparently taking him to the Embassy...again.
As the leader of the Trump-culled U. S. Embassy in Havana, Mara Tekach makes no secret about her role in creating the long-awaited regime-change in Cuba while Trump remains the President of the United States.
Every May 1st since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959, May Day has been celebrated by massive crowds in cities all across the island. The image above shows journalist Rosy Amaro covering the May 1-2019 May Day event at Revolutionary Square in Havana. But today in 2020 there was no celebration in deference to the Coronavirus pandemic.
This was a typical photo today in Havana with a subdued celebration of May Day as individuals displayed private salutes to Cuba's revolutionary flag.
Mostly today, streets like this one in Havana were barely energized although a sheet hung high to acknowledge May Day.
Meanwhile, in stark contrast to his predecessor President Barack Obama's normalization plans for the island, President Donald Trump obviously has a determined genocidal CUBA POLICY designed to starve and deprive Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and finally overthrow their revolutionary government. The Cuban extremists in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood have six more months of Trump's presidency to make their plans for Cuba to come to fruition...or 4.5 more YEARS if Trump wins November's presidential election.
Come hell or high water...from attacks from nature or from the nearby United States...there have always been, since 1959, enough Cubans on the island who remember the U.S.-backed Mafia terrorizing Cuba prior to the Revolutionary victory on January 1, 1959. Therefore, there have always been enough Cubans on the island to resist the persistent and unending efforts from Little Havana and Washington to recapture the largest, most beautiful, and...potentially...the most prosperous island in the Caribbean. Of course, the Mafiosi-like control of the Cuban narrative in the U. S. since 1959 has propagandized Americans into believing the Mob's rule of Cuba prior to the Revolution was the greatest Democracy in the history of the world. Mobster kingpin Meyer Lansky, has illustrated by the book cover above, must STILL be GRINNING all these years since his death that the Mob still has ITS deadly grip on the U. S. Democracy.
