CUBA -- USA's Prime Target

Cuba Trumps USA Foreign Policy!!
{It reveals the Cubanization of America. I will explain}
{Thursday, March 14th, 2019}

     Mcclatchy newspapers, via a LONG article written by Franco Ordonez, report that two particular lifelong anti-Cuban zealots from the Bush dynasty -- Mauricio Claver-Carone and Jose Cardenas -- are exerting massive pressure on Chinese leader Xi Jinping to cease supporting Venezuela's embattled President Nicolas Maduro. Claver-Carone and Cardenas, representing the Trump administration, are believed to be powerfully warning China that it will lose its massive investments in Latin America because U. S. economic and military power is reinserting itself in the region...and Xi Jinping is being told that impending regime-changes in Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Bolivia will complete the USA's total dominance of the region.

     This MSN photo shows U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at a MAJOR news conference this week -- March 11, 2019. And the MAJOR thrust was the USA's current MAJOR Foreign Policy objective -- regaining control of Cuba. Americans, of course, are not supposed to realize that, just as they have not been supposed to comprehend the USA's Cuban policies since 1898 {Spanish-American War}; since 1952 {when the USA sicced the Mafia on Cuba}; and since 1959 {when the Cuban Revolution chased the Batista-Mafia leaders to their new capital city, Little Havana/Miami. For the record, Pompeo at this news conference stressed that "CUBA IS THE TRUE IMPERIALIST POWER IN VENEZUELA." That was to emphasize, if subtly, that the USA primarily views the ever-deepening and truly tragic crisis in Venezuela as the long-desired and long-sought PRETEXT to recapture Cuba. Hoping not to confront Big Boys like Russia or China or even Vietnam over the Venezuelan quagmire, Pompeo's U. S. State Department news conference on March 11th-2019 revealed USA confidence that regaining control of Cuba will not sufficiently anger strong adversarial nations like nuclear-superpowers Russia or China.

    Including in Congress, Pompeo has been totally aligned with Counter Revolutionary Cubans. So, it's no surprise that when Pompeo became Secretary of State that famed anti-Cuban war-monger John Bolton would emerge as National SECURITY Adviser and this pair are the POWERS in charge of recapturing Cuba while subtly using Venezuela as the convenient pretext. If you watched Pompeo's March 11th news conference, it reinforced that opinion.

    Next to Pompeo as Secretary of State and Bolton in the National Security chair, the most influential position to execute a regime-change in Cuba is the head of the State Department's Western Hemisphere division. So, guess who that is? Mauricio Claver-Carone, shown above in the red tie, has spent his lucrative career raising money and proselytizing like-minded friends for the purpose of a regime-change in Cuba...nothing more and for sure NOTHING LESS. Claver-Carone, INCREDIBLY, is now the USA's Western Hemisphere boss.

   When yet another Republican administration {Trump's this time}, 100% directed by only Cuban extremists on things concerning Cuba and Latin America, can get away with turning the recapture of Cuba over to ONLY anti-Cuban war-mongering zealots like Pompeo, Bolton, and Claver-Carone, it shows that the American people and the American mainstream media {apart from the right-wing media zealots} are either too scared or too ignorant to properly defend their democracy.

    But perhaps most alarming of all is when President Trump got away with appointing Elliott Abrams "SPECIAL ENVOY TO VENEZUELA." While Americans are supposed to be too stupid or to scared to comprehend that appointment, EVERY LATIN AMERICAN NATION, including the U.S.-friendly ones, are abundantly aware that Mr. Abrams has the reputation of being America's greatest living genocidal war-monger when it comes to forcing the USA's imperial desires on small nations. And, apparently with greedy eyes mostly focused on the CUBAN prize, Elliott Abrams has been resurrected to oversee the USA's direction of the Venezuelan crisis?

INCREDIBLE!!!

    While Elliott Abrams was in dire need of a presidential pardon for the Iran-Contra scandal {a pardon Abrams, of course, received from George H. W. Bush}, that's not the scandal every Latin American nation associates with Abrams. Pulitzer-prize winning Raymond Bonner is America's greatest and most respected journalist-author on USA-involved Latin American scandals. Alarmed when Elliott Abrams was named "Envoy to Venezuela," Mr. Bonner penned a massive article in The Atlantic tying Elliott Abrams to the Mozote Massacre in El Salvador way back in 1981, details of which were already documented by Mr. Bonner and confirmed by myriad investigations. In the town of Mozote 900 peasants were rounded up by soldiers armed with automatic M-16 rifles provided by the USA. All the men were shot, then all the women. And then all 140 children, "average age: 6" as reported by Raymond Bonner and historically confirmed by DNA and bones. Repeating Mr. Bonner's expert findings here is not being anti-American; ignoring it is being anti-American...because ignoring such things enables people like Abrams, Bolton, Claver-Carone, etc. to act on behalf of America and then, in every Republican administration, to resurface as prime decision-makers -- often regarding nefarious objectives.

  On May 26-2018 the New York Times published a major article illustrated by the above photo that included in its title this question: "Why Did They Have To Kill Those Children." The photo shows Latin Americans paying tribute at a memorial to the 900 victims of the El Mozote Massacre, with the last 140 victims being all the children in that Salvadoran village in 1981. If, by chance, U. S. operatives played roles in such Latin American history, I believe it is imperative that the U. S. democracy holds them accountable. And, until that is done, perhaps the U. S. should at least be reticent about how it deals with Latin America. {That statement, I believe, is strongly PRO-American}. 

    If, as some believe, that Vladimir Putin has  something on President Trump that enables the Russian leader to whisper orders to the U. S. President, that would be bad. But it appears that Little Havana's U. S. Senator Marco Rubio actually does have SOMETHING ON TRUMP that enables "Little Marco," as Trump derisively called him during the Republican primary, to act as President and Commander-in-Chief regarding all elements related to Cuba, the Caribbean, and Latin America. And, working on the inside, that's probably more dangerous to democracy than having a foreign leader, who faces checks and balances, have the same hold over the current and actual U. S. president.

    Like all the Counter Revolutionary Cubans elected to the U. S. Congress from Miami and Newark, Sen. Rubio flocks to all congressional Foreign Relations and Western Hemisphere committees to better assault Cuba, which is a foreign island in the Western Hemisphere. In one recent blistering anti-Cuban U. S. Senate Foreign Relations session that embarrasses Democracy, Rubio from Miami and the massively controversial Bob Menendez from Newark were the Chairman and Co-Chairman who called and totally dominated that Senate session, a typical procedure that the U. S. Democracy is unable to balance. Of course, when not dictating anti-Cuban laws and rules in the U. S. Congress, Rubio and his counter-revolutionary Cuban cohorts, flock to conservative and right-wing Think Tanks and billionaire contributors. Thus, a mere handful of extremists from Miami and Newark can get very RICH and very POWERFUL. Rubio is the Poster Boy for this latest generation of counter-revolutionary Cubans from Miami. Yes, this is the same Rubio that inspired the best investigative journalist in Washington, Ken Silverstein, to pen a massive article that labeled Rubio "head and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery." But the problem is...much of the mainstream U. S. media is too afraid to call Rubio anything other than a Choirboy and the majority of Americans don't care enough about their Democracy to dial up Ken Silverstein's depiction of Rubio, which...as far as I know...has never been disputed nor has Silverstein's distinguished journalism career been questioned.

This is Ken Silverstein.

Ken Silverstein's Marco Rubio!!

     The tragic STANDOFF in Venezuela between President Maduro and President Guaido is bloody and will get bloodier. Every insightful journalist in Washington is aware that TRUMP has allowed RUBIO to install America's most anti-Cuban zealots atop the TRUMP administration -- Pompeo, Bolton, Abrams, Claver-Carone, Reich, Noriega, etc., many of them relics recycled from the viciously anti-Cuban Bush dynasty. Thus, today if you are perceived by Rubio to be anti-Cuba, such as the newly right-wing Brazilian government, such countries can expect vast financial and military rewards; but if you are perceived by Rubio as pro-Cuba, countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua can expect starvation-style sanctions followed by a military-induced regime-change. Also...as brilliant investigative journalist Tracey Eaton has detailed using exact U. S. facts and figures, the U. S. State Department's USAID has just released a massive document advertising the extreme tax-dollars that will be bestowed on just about anybody, it seems, that holds up their hand and promises to help put a U.S.-approved government in Cuba, which would, of course, be the first U.S.-approved government in Cuba since the brutal and thieving Batista-Mafia dictatorship that plundered Cuba from 1952 till 1959. I, of course, mention the Tracey Eaton article so some Americans concerned about their Democracy and their tax-dollars might even dial it up on the Cuba Money Project blog, which also documents via Freedom of Information documents the TRULY EXTRAORDINARY AND OBSCENELY "SWEET" amount of TAX-DOLLARS THAT FLOW DAILY FROM WASHINGTON TO MIAMI TO REWARD ANTI-CUBAN ZEALOTS and key supporters of politicians like Rubio.  Meanwhile, Rubio's regime-change in Cuba is scheduled after the regime-change in Venezuela, with Rubio-inspired new and massive sanctions further punishing the Cuban people and supposedly softening up the island for its capture. Those new sanctions include activating Title 3 of the cruel Batistiano/Jesse Helms-written Helms-Burton Law, and not even the three Bush presidencies were cruel enough and stupid enough to activate Title 3. And this is the same Rubio in charge of orchestrating THE SHOWDOWN in Venezuela. Rubio's prime mouthpieces -- Pompeo, Bolton, and Abrams -- regularly remind Latin Americans that little, embargoed CUBA is next, after Venezuela.

      And that's precisely why on Monday, March 11-2019 that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the above news conference said: "CUBA IS THE TRUE IMPERIALIST POWER IN VENEZUELA." Propagandized Americans, of course, are supposed to be too stupid or too afraid to not believe such idiocy. Little, embargoed, non-nuclear, struggling CUBA is the imperialist power? Super IMPERIALIST POWERS like Russia and China are too big to be attacked by the USA, but whatever right-wing Republican thugs say about CUBA is for Americans to believe...OR ELSE. And this is what can happen TO EVEN the world's strongest democracy when miscreants fueled by greed are the rulers.

Cuba BEFORE Rubio Arrives

So, Let's Take A Look!!
{Monday, March 11th, 2019}

   Since the remarkable...earth-shattering, really...triumph of the Cuban Revolution over the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship in 1959, Cuban women from the incomparable revolutionary icon Celia Sanchez to Rosa Miriam Elizalde have actually played the leading roles when it comes to domestic issues on the island. Rosa is the talented and no-nonsense boss at the influential Dominio Cuba television channel. Needless to say, Rosa is not too happy that the USA's Trump administration has given Miami's Marco Rubio what she believes is the backing of the U. S. treasury and the U. S. military to execute Miami's long-desired recapture of Cuba. Rosa, and perhaps about 5 million other Cuban women like her, is especially angry that Rubio is hurling and tweeting braggadocio taunts...such as "SEE YOU SOON"  at Cuba's President, former Education Minister Miguel Diaz-Canel. The "Te vemos pronto"/"See you soon" Rubio taunt directed at the Cuban leader has galvanized strong support for Diaz-Canel, especially for the Cuban President's strongest supporters -- Cuban women like Rosa.

      On her popular television channel this week, Rosy Mariam Elizalde used the above image to hurl a taunt back at the taunting Rubio. The image shows two Cuban women...Celia Sanchez and Vilma Espin...who were among the many Cuban women directly responsible for the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. Their photo during the war was taken by Dickie Chapelle, the world-renowned female war photographer from World War Two in the 1940s to the Vietnam War in the 1960s. Rosa pointed out that, after taking this famous photo of Celia and Vilma in 1958, Dickie Chapelle later died in the middle of a battlefield in Vietnam in 1965 "while the imperial-thirsty USA was losing the Vietnam War." Using this photo this week was Rosa's reminder to Rubio that "If you indeed do show up on our soil to 'see' our President, a few million disciples of Celia Sanchez and Vilma Espin will be waiting to greet you. Remember, it was women like Celia, Vilma, Haydee Santamaria, Tete Puebla and so many more that chased the Batista and Mafia cowards to your Miami sanctuary in 1959."

    Also, on her strong television channel in Cuba, Rosa Mariam Elizalde can use photos like this to remind Rubio that "Since 1959 all Cuban babies like this one have received loving and protective care with totally free educations through college and totally free health care all their lives...two things in Rubio's America that American babies don't have because such money goes to rich thugs like Rubio just as Cuban money in the 1950s went to rich thugs like Batista, Luciano, Lansky, and rich American business thieves. Rubio's attempts to starve Cuban babies like this one by strengthening the blockade against us will not work unless we are killed or we surrender. We will not surrender...not now, not ever."

    To stress the "No Surrender" theme of Cuban women in direct response to Rubio's taunts, the image above was used on Cuban television and in thousands social media sites as 5,000 Cubans a day now join the Internet. This graphic, translated from Spanish to English, shows a little Cuban girl asking her mother, "What is surrender?" The mother replies, "I do not know, daughter. We are women."

    And so...Rosa Mariam Elizalde uses her Dominio Cuba television channel to galvanize support for her President, Diaz-Canel, against the taunts from Marco Rubio whom she considers, "a pompous coward hiding behind the skirts of a superpower while throwing bricks and grenades at Cuban children."

      On her television channel Rosa Mariam Elizalde can use spontaneous images like this to point out that most of Cuba's 5 million or so females love President Diaz-Canel, "especially the grandmothers and mothers who remember the brutality against and starvation of everyday Cubans back when the USA and the Mafia were ruling the island. Rubio's repeated lies about trying to HELP us real Cubans can only be effective in the U. S. and only because of six decades of Mafia propaganda that blares out the truth the American people need."

     Above is the exact Tweet that Marco Rubio sent to Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel. If you study it from top to bottom, you will see that Rubio is gleefully warning Diaz-Canel that, as soon as the USA completes it regime-change eliminating Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, Diaz-Canel will be next. At the bottom of Rubio's Tweet to Diaz-Canel are the words: "Te Vemos pronto" that, translated to English, means, "See you soon." To Cuban women like Rosa Mariam Elizalde, that is a cowardly taunt. "If Rubio wants to see our President 'soon,'" she says, "he should have the courage and kindness to ask to see him in peace. But Rubio is a coward hiding behind the skirts of a Superpower. Therefore, to see our President he might have to kill several million Cuban women first. Without restrictions, he seems willing to do that. After all, the American people have allowed Rubio to install Elliott Abrams as one of his chief regime-changers and Abrams is best known throughout Latin America for the Massacre at El Mosote."

    Indeed, with Rubio being able to add extreme war-mongers like John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, etc., at the top of President Trump's Latin American team, this generation of Americans who allow such things to happen might be responsible, to put it bluntly, for impending imperialist massacres in Latin America. The scariest thing about that scenario, perhaps, is the fact that this generation of Americans are not concerned enough to GOOGLE "The Mosote Massacre" to ascertain that after all the men and then all the women were massacred, then the 120 babies and children were massacred. Not to know or to care about such things results in people like Elliott Abrams and John Bolton resurfacing in powerful government positions each time a Republican is President. This week the Washington Post had a major article about "The Massacre..." that Trump, Rubio, Bolton, Abrams, etc., want everyone "...TO FORGET." And everyone has forgotten, it seems, in America...but NOT in LATIN AMERICA.

    A long-time Latin American expert for the New York Times, Raymond Bonner is indisputably America's greatest expert on U.S.-involved Latin American atrocities. He cringed when Trump resurrected Elliott Abrams to apparently oversee the Rubio-inspired regime-changes in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. No one...repeat NO ONE...knows as much as Raymond Bonner knows about the El Mosote Massacre in El Salvador in December of 1981. Every American should read Mr. Bonner's detailed article in The Atlantic that is entitled: "What Did Elliott Abrams Have To Do With the El Mosote Massacre?" The sub-title opined that "Trump May Have Picked the Right Man..." -- meaning the right man to put down resistance to the impending Latin American regime-changes that appear to interested observers to be directed by anti-Cuban zealots in Miami and in Congress. In his minutely accurate and scintillating article, Raymond Bonner writes: "More than 900 peasants were murdered at the Roman Catholic church in El Mozote. Soldiers separated men from their families, took them away, and shot them. They herded mothers and children into the convent. Putting their American-supplied M-16 rifles on automatic, the soldiers opened fire. Then they burned the convent. Some 140 children were killed, including toddlers. Average age: 6."

    After writing those exact words shown above to depict the El Mosote Massacre, Raymond Bonner went into great detail to tie Elliott Abrams to that event. Because of Mr. Bonner's impeccable credentials as the world-class expert on such U.S.-involved Latin American atrocities, there is no way Trump, Rubio, or anyone else can deny them. They, of course, just hope Americans don't care enough ABOUT AMERICA to dial up such readily available articles and read them. And that's why, even after needing a pardon from a long-ago Bush Republican president, another Republican President, Trump, can resurrect a Bush-era pardoned relic from decades ago to ONCE AGAIN play a powerful role in yet another questionable USA Latin American venture.

     Massive U. S. propaganda paints Rosa Mariam Elizalde as a "bad guy" in Cuba while pretending that Marco Rubio is the "good guy choirboy" from Little Havana in Miami. As a democracy-loving American concerned about America, I think that is a lie. In her sovereign, pugnacious island nation, the astute Rosa has a right to support her President, Miguel Diaz-Canel. And moreover, Rosa has a right to use her television channel to fire back at Rubio for taunting her President with the "Te vemos pronto"/"See you soon" Tweet. Rosa and about 5 million other women on the island interpret that to mean Rubio, after he eviscerates Maduro in Venezuela, will arrive in Cuba to eviscerate his prime target, Rosa's President Diaz-Canel.

    This week when Rosa Mariam Elizalde used this image of revolutionary heroines Celia Sanchez and Vilma Espin, she sent this message to Rubio: "Celia and Vilma were do-or-die guerrilla fighters and their enemies were do-or-run non-fighters who sent others to fight their battles. This generation of Cuban women is like Celia and Vilma. We wonder who Rubio will send to do his fighting? They may win, but that doesn't mean we won't defend our island at all costs. Yes, we remember the 1950s...the last time imperialist foreigners ruled our Cuba." You may study the expression on Rosa's face {as shown above} to judge whether she is as determined today as Celia Sanchez was back in the 1950s.

          And...as you can see from her up-close facial expression from the 1950s as she headed to battle, the incomparable anti-Batista guerrilla fighter Celia Sanchez WAS DETERMINED!! And without Celia Sanchez's fierce determination from start to finish, the Cuban Revolution would not have triumphed against overwhelming odds.

Anti-Cuban TRUMP Extremists

PLEASE: Google Their Names!!
{Saturday, March 9th, 2019}

    This week on March 6-2019 the Voice of America on its vast international media forums used a 3-minute video to explain "Cuba's Role" in the Venezuelan crisis, a role that extreme anti-Cuban zealots in the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION are using to finally bring about their long-desired regime-change in Cuba, an event that portends to be long-lasting and bloody. The VOA update was at least honest enough to reveal that extreme anti-Cuban zealots were dictating Trump's Cuban, Caribbean, and Latin American policies with Cuba uppermost in mind.

    The VOA started off with none other than Roger Noriega detailing why the Venezuelan crisis explains why REVOLUTIONARY CUBA must finally be destroyed. Noriega is an example of how Miami's U. S. Senator Marco Rubio has been allowed by President Trump to maneuver the TOP TEN anti-Cuban zealots into powerful positions in the U. S. government and all ten are anti-Cuban products from the BUSH DYNASTY'S 100% alignment with Miami's Counter Revolutionary Cubans -- a TOP TEN that includes infamous superstars such as...Noriega, Otto Reich, Elliott Abrams, John Bolton, the Diaz-Balart brothers, Mauricio Claver-Carone, etc. Whenever a Democrat is President, such zealots revert to non-government positions in conservative or right-wing Think Tanks raising tons of anti-Cuban money and followers. Then when a Republican, like Trump, regains the Presidency, the anti-Cuban zealots get appointed to powerful anti-Cuban government positions. While highlighting Noriega, the VOA failed to point out such well-known facts.

   During the George W. Bush presidency, Roger Noriega was one of two anti-Cuban zealots tied tightly to the 2002 coup that briefly overthrew Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, with the other, of course, being Otto Reich. So, naturally, Noriega and Reich have resurfaced as dire anti-Cuban zealots in the current Trump administration.

    This image of Roger Noriega is courtesy of Haiti Action.org and references that Noriega was the "Architect of the Rule of Terror in Haiti." Well, it wouldn't take much time GOOGLING the names of Noriega, Abrams, Bolton, etc., to ascertain that their Bush-era roles greatly embarrassed America and Democracy -- AND YET, as noted, they resurface in each Republican presidency.

    I sincerely believe that the overall biggest threat to the USA and Democracy is an increasingly propaganda-driven mainstream U. S. media, as indicated by the CNN image above that typically provides someone like Roger Noriega a right-wing propaganda forum without explaining the extreme backgrounds and motives of Noriega-types. Backed by multi-billionaire individuals and corporations, powerful propaganda-fueled left-wing media sources such as CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post are currently deeply involved in a media coup to overthrow Trump but these were the left-wing media groups that got Trump elected and their extreme left-wing bias might get him re-elected in 2020. YET, while expounding monotonously on every nuance about why Trump should be overthrown prior to the next election, the 7 extreme left-wing media sources mentioned above simply do not have the guts to accuse Trump of the most deleterious reason he should be impeached...and it's not Russian collusion or sexual entanglements. It's what every major journalist in Washington knows are the exact words Trump told his staff: "Make Rubio happy." Trump and Rubio hated each other's guts during the Republican primary in 2016 and reportedly still do. SO WHAT DOES RUBIO HAVE ON TRUMP? An interesting question and the answer might explain why Trump has allowed Rubio to place the TOP TEN anti-Cuban dinosaurs from the Bush dynasty in ultra-powerful anti-Cuban positions in today's U. S. government. A left-wing U. S. media that doesn't have the guts to even discuss that question is thus more culpable than the right-wing media that shamefully supports Trump's anointment of Rubio as America's first real Cuban dictator since Fulgencio Batista had that role in Havana and, after that, since Jorge Mas Canosa in Miami was similarly anointed by the Bush dynasty during the Reagan presidency. In any case, the VOA's "Cuba's Role" article this week hailing the infamous Roger Noriega as one of the architects of the regime-changes in Venezuela and Cuba reminds many of the cancerous Batistiano government that continues to operate within the bowels of the United States democracy.

         Meanwhile, this much-more-peaceful photo was actually taken in Havana at 10:00 P. M. last night, March 7-2019. It shows 5-year-old Mariana drifting off to sleep. Her mom, Rosy Amaro, posted it on her Facebook page with this sentence: "Cuando llega la PAZ y ella solo quiere abrazar a su bicho. Mama Feliz." {"When PEACE arrives and she wants to hug her bug. Happy Mom."}. This fiercely protected little Cuban girl deserves to not be targeted in her small nation by rich and powerful thugs in a much larger nation. Yes, Mariana deserves the PAZ {the PEACE} that made her Cuban mother FELIZ {HAPPY} last night. In fact, both of them deserve lifetimes of peaceful, happy nights.

     Yes, Rosy was "THANKFUL" her little girl had a peaceful night's sleep in Havana last night. But...what about tonight and the rest of the nights while Trump is President and Rubio, essentially, is America's unrestrained Cuban dictator? {A pertinent question, I think}.

Cuba Responds to Rubio

Today's Presidential Tweet Reacts!!

     Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel has been directly taunted by Miami's U. S Senator Marco Rubio regarding Rubio's belief that the Cuban Revolution AT LONG LAST will be overthrown, as soon as Rubio, John Bolton, and Elliott Abrams complete the regime-change in Venezuela. Diaz-Canel is aware of Rubio's constant taunts on U. S. television and even in a Rubio Tweet in which he brazenly warned Diaz-Canel that he would "See You Soon," obviously meaning after the U. S. military had recaptured Cuba for the Little Havana exiles in Miami. Diaz-Canel responded by speaking directly to and Tweeting to the Revolution's strongest supporters -- the island's women. As shown above he gathered together parliamentary women and spoke directly to them about the U. S. threats and then followed up with the above Tweet, which says:

            "I want to go ahead today and congratulate you Cuban women: grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, companions, Cubans, CUBA'S HEROINS OF RESISTANCE, CREATORS OF THE LIGHTS OF LIFE. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS. Together we are Cuba."

  The island's former Education Minister, President Miguel Diaz-Canel is very popular with everyday Cubans, especially the women. The last three generations of Cuban women starkly remember something that Americans are not supposed to know or to remember, and that is how cruel the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship was from 1952 till ousted by the Cuban Revolution, and essentially chased to Miami, on January 1, 1959. And history registers the fact that the  prime Batista-Mafia CRUELTY was directed at the non-elite, everyday Cuban women and children...a cruelty and stupidity that spawned the Revolution.

     The Little Havana Cubans in Miami dictate the Cuban narrative in the U. S., so they don't have to explain authentic and historic photos like the one above. It shows the sustenance of the Revolution: Brave Cuban mothers taking to the streets to protest the routine murders of their children, apparently intended to quell resistance. Instead, it quelled a victory for history's longest-shot revolution.

     During the Batista-Mafia rule, everyday Cuban mothers and children lived in abject poverty while the Batistianos, the Mafiosi, and the U. S. businessmen were ransacking the island at will. Of Course, the Cuban narrative in the United States doesn't have room to discuss photos like this from Batista's Cuba. But...for the sake of the United States democracy...they should be discussed, at least so Americans might understand why, in March of 2019, there are still millions of Cuban women on the island who sternly believe in the ideals of the Revolution. In his parliamentary speech and in the above Tweet, that's why President Diaz-Canel spoke directly to his and the Revolution's biggest supports -- The Cuban women today who do include memories of photos like this in THEIR narratives.

     In fact, the greatest heroine of the Cuban Revolution, the angelic doctor's daughter Celia Sanchez, famously, as shown above, stressed how stupid Batista, the Mafia, and their supporters in Washington were for treating the island's women and children so cruelly: "We rebels...get far too much credit for winning the Revolution. Our enemies deserve most of the credit, for being greedy cowards and idiots."

     Books like this herald Cuba's revolutionary heroine Celia Sanchez as the savior of the island's children from that Batista cruelty.

    After her mammoth role in winning the Cuban Revolution, Celia Sanchez is credited with prioritizing the education, healthcare, and safety of the island's children, and it incredibly still prevails today.

    She died of cancer at age 59 on January 11, 1980, but Celia Sanchez is revered today for being the epitome of why the treatment of children in REVOLUTIONARY CUBA is so remarkably different from what it was in Batista's Cuba. In the USA, the Cuban narrative to this day doesn't like to discuss the legacy of the doctor's daughter, Celia Sanchez. But without her there is no way the Revolution would have been won or would have had such amazing longevity. It is the Celia Sanchez feminine disciples in Cuba today that are the primary defenders against the regime-change clearance that Trump has directed Rubio to orchestrate. Except for Celia Sanchez's legacy, Rubio has all the advantages.

USA's Press Freedom

Still Cherished EXCEPT Regarding Cuba!

     While Freedom of the Press, at least in theory, remains a hallmark of the U. S. democracy, there is no longer even a pretense of that precious axiom when it comes to Cuban issues. That has been so since the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959 miraculously overthrew the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship only to see it quickly resettled on U. S. soil with a new capital, Little Havana in the heart of nearby Miami. Most Cuban exiles, like newsman Emilio Milian, were decent Cuban-Americans but since 1959 a handful of not-so-decent Cubans have dictated the exile government, which the Bush dynasty made sure had a firm foothold solidly planted in Washington beginning in the 1980s. Thus, when Emilio Milian took to the airways in Miami to vehemently denounce extreme and unchecked Cuban-American terrorism against innocent Cubans, Emilio, not unexpectedly, was the victim of a favorite Cuban-exile weapon in Miami -- a car bomb. It is surely to this day politically incorrect to say so but Emilio's fate, I believe, left the desired message: Any media source in the U. S. that criticizes Counter Revolutionary Cubans, or speaks or writes positively about Revolutionary Cuba, will be the ones held accountable for their actions.

YET........

    ..........the photo above proves there are media sources outside of the USA still brave enough even to feature positive stories about the fascinating island of Cuba...even in March of 2019 when Cuban extremists in Miami, Newark, and Washington are totally convinced their dominance of the TRUMP presidency is enabling them to finally recapture Cuba by the time spring rolls around. The photo above illustrated a major article this week in the Toronto State entitled: "Auto Body Workshops Are Now Free Enterprise Operations In Cuba And Very Popular." Americans are not supposed to know such simple truths and Counter Revolutionary profiteers like Sen. Rubio from Little Havana would cringe if they knew Americans might read such an article that has been available online to read since March 6, 2019. In fact, this insightful article will, I think, fascinate Americans brave enough to dial it up because it updates another remarkable Cuban story. CHECK THIS OUT:

       This is the absolutely remarkable Jardines Bridge that extends 48 kilometers {29.8 miles} off the north-central coast of mainland Cuba to Cuba's and the Caribbean's most beautiful smaller islands. Even as Cuba deals with the 6-decade-old U. S. embargo, which is being strengthened each day now by the ruthless and unchecked Little Havana choirboy Rubio, the Cuban government is pouring resources into this bridge, as the updated Toronto Star article explains.

     The Jardines del Rey bridge leads from mainland Cuba to gorgeous and pristine smaller island that the Toronto Star says are now "Cuba's fastest growing tourism destination." WOW! I didn't know that but at least I was brave enough to read the article, which added: "Tourism is the country's main source of income and Canadians account for 40 percent of all foreign visitors to Cuba."

      In addition to pouring money & pesos into that sensational bridge, the airport on the magnificent CAYO COCO ISLAND is also being spruced up and modernized.

     If you drive across that incredible Jardines del Rey bridge or fly into that newly modernized Cayo Coco airport, you can stay at 5-star Iberostar Hotels and from there, as shown above, walk to perhaps the world's most still-pristine popular beach. The Toronto Star article on March 6-2019 said: "At Cayo Coco there are 5,000 luxury rooms on the island and 5,000 more under construction."

  

       Here's a map that shows you how that fantastic Jardines del Rey bridge extends 29.8 miles from the Cuban mainland to those fantastic smaller islands such as Cayo Coco. As a group those island are known as Los Cayos de Villa Clara because, as you see on the map, the bridge originates outside the town of Remedios in Villa Clara Province.

     This map gives you an overall perspective of Santa Clara Province in north-central Cuba leading out to those incredibly pristine and beautiful smaller islands such as...Cayo Las Brujas, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Guillermo, and Cayo Coco.

       EVERY SINGLE DAY IN THE UNITED STATES, Marco Rubio is afforded totally and unchecked access to the network TV channels as well as the mainstream printed media to tell propagandized Americans self-serving lies about Cuba in March of 2019 while also saying OR IMPLYING that the Batista-Mafia dictatorship from 1952 till 1959 was a sweet Mother Teresa-type democracy that must be returned "to help the Cuban people." A weakened mainstream U. S. media that is too afraid not to provide that daily forum for the likes of Rubio is, I believe, more punishing to "the Cuban people" than the war-mongers in the Trump administration who are being given free-reins to try to use the U. S. treasury and the U. S. military to starve and to eviscerate "the Cuban people" for the purpose, OF COURSE, of "HELPING the Cuban people."

     And that takes us back to Emilio Milian. The car-bomb in Miami that silenced Emilio was intended to keep the media from criticizing even horrendous terrorist acts against innocent Cubans. It also, I think, silenced U. S. citizens who have simply, by and large, not had the courage, the decency, or the patriotism to support the ideals that Emilio so bravely stood for. THAT WHY today...in March of 2019...Miami Cubans like Sen. Marco Rubio and Florida sycophants like Sen. Rick Scott dictate America's Cuban narratives and America's Cuban policies to suit their economic and political whims. {Revenge is no longer the Miami Motivting Factor; but Money & Power are}. And that, MY DEMOCRACY-LOVING FRIENDS, leaves not only Emilio Milian silent but it also leaves several million Cuban-Americans just as decent as he was also silent.
