Bolton's Cuban War

Yes, It Is Real!!
{Tuesday, April 16th, 2019}

    The most controversial and outrageous National Security Adviser in America's history, the infamous John Bolton, will be back in Little Havana/Miami this week to make his second {and final} declaration of war against Cuba. Back on Friday, April 12th, Bolton Tweeted his intention to inform "the Bay of Pigs survivors" of his Trump-approved Cuban plans on "February 17th" and that's tomorrow, Wednesday. The apparent reason Bolton, Tweeted that information was to strike fear in the hearts of 11 million totally innocent Cubans on the island. The obvious reason Bolton used the the exact phrase "the Bay of Pigs survivors" was to taunt Cubans on the island. The Bay of Pigs attack on Revolutionary Cuba took place in mid-April of 1961 and in mid-April of 2019, 6 decades later, it remains a humiliating defeat for the extremist Cuban exiles and the USA, but Bolton and other right-wing Americans to this day paint it, as well as the brutal, U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship {1952-1959} that spawned the Revolution, as a glorious monument in the pantheon of American history.

    Soon after becoming President Trump's National Security Adviser, John Bolton huddled with Brazil's new right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro to make sure he had permission and assistance from Latin America's biggest, strongest, and richest nation to execute Bolton's LONG-DESIRED regime-change on the island of Cuba.

        Like all five of the Trump administration's top war-mongering foreign policy advisers, John Bolton is a product of the Batistiano-aligned BUSH DYNASTY. President George W. Bush, above, once poked fun at the USA and Democracy, I believe, by naming John Bolton as the U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Bush well-knew that the well-known war-mongering Bolton would never get the necessary approval from the Senate for the prestigious position, but Bush just made Bolton a brief so-called "recess appointment" and, of course, withdrew it before it could come up before the Senate. Such Batistiano-taunts from the BUSH DYNASTY was/is typical but not once since the 1950s has the BUSH DYNASTY -- Prescott, George H. W., George W., Jeb, and now Jeb's son in Texas George Prescott -- been held responsible. So, from the BUSH DYNASTY all Republican presidents, including Trump, have tapped into the BUSH DYNASTY'S deep well of anti-Cuban zealots, and that includes Bolton. It is well known that Bolton tried desperately to concoct "pretexts" to persuade President George W. Bush to launch a stronger-than-Bay of Pigs attack against Cuba, which not even Bush agreed to do. But quickly, using the Venezuela crisis as a 2019 pretext, Bolton is convinced he has Trump's permission to eviscerate Revolutionary Cuba, as he apparently will assure his Little Havana pals -- "the Bay of Pigs veterans" -- in Miami tomorrow -- Wednesday, April 17, 2019. Because the topic is Cuba, both the mainstream U. S. media and the majority of Americans and Cuban-Americans will be too intimidated to take note of it or discuss it.

  The war-mongering and Trump-anointed John Bolton hasn't surprised anybody with his apparent determination to execute U.S.-friendly regime-changes in a host of nations he deems unfriendly to the U. S. -- PRIMARILY CUBA but also Venezuela, Nicaragua, and even Iran. Bolton, of course, is afraid of nuclear-powered Superboy Big Countries China and Russia, both of whom have soldiers and military muscle in Venezuela keeping President Maduro afloat at least for now while the U. S. pick as Venezuela's President waits in the wings.

    Prior to Wednesday's second cowardly trip to Miami, John Bolton's first declaration of war against Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua was made, as registered above, soon after he became Trump's enigmatic National Security Adviser. As long as Trump remains Commander-in-Chief, Bolton will have the muscle to accomplish his Caribbean and Latin American whims {or wars}...but once the tricky cat is out of the bag and the blood-letting has begun, putting the tricky cat back in the bag will likely tax the America people LONG AFTER Trump and Bolton have departed. A non-proxy war on America's back doorstep will be unlike seemingly endless proxy-wars in far-away places. {Now let's see...who was it who said that the BIGGEST threat to the U. S. was its own Military Industrial Complex that benefited from wars and the threat of wars??? Oh, yes...now I remember. It was 5-star General and two-term President Eisenhower who said that}.

     A cornered President Donald Trump and a war-mongering John Bolton makes for a duo in Washington that might leave lingering and long-standing USA hangovers in the Caribbean and Latin America that not even the Bush dynasty risked since the ill-conceived and poorly executed Bay of Pigs attack in mid-April of 1961. The Bush-Batistiano plan, since 1962 and confirmed by declassified U. S. documents, was merely {if not so sweetly} to STARVE, DEPRIVE, AND MAKE MISERABLE the lives of Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government on behalf of what Bolton euphemistically called, in his Friday Tweet, "the Bay of Pigs survivors." Of course, most of the Revolutionary fighters and most of the Bay of Pigs attackers have died of old age by now, but, you know, propaganda still lives strongly.

    Cuba's new President, former Education Minister Miguel Diaz-Canel also is a Tweeter. Using Tweets like the one above this past weekend, Diaz-Canel has informed the Cuban people that the severely new economic sanctions imposed by the Trump administration is causing shortages that include less food in supermarkets and less newspaper print, and he warned it will worsen. As for Diaz-Canel's Tweeted reaction to John Bolton's Friday Tweet, his words in the above Tweet, translated to English, are these:

            "Let us work installing beauty and the culture of detail as life practices. Overcoming the inertia of the tired. Containing enthusiasm and optimism to the committed. Understanding that the beauty of the moment is in the middle of the challenges. WE ARE CUBA."

     This photo was taken on a sunny Sunday -- April 14th, 2019 -- and, if you study it carefully -- you may detect that it is a statement from the Cuban people to the John Bolton Tweet last Friday concerning his refreshed declaration of war on Cuba that he will make in Miami tomorrow, April 17th. This photo shows influential News Anchor Rosy Amaro, who represents the rhythms and pulses of everyday Cubans on the island. She is pointing her index finger ALL THE WAY ACROSS Havana Harbor precisely down on an old fortress that protected Havana from centuries of imperial attacks from foreign nations. Spain holds the record for the Most CENTURIES of dominating Cuba with the USA in second place. After concocting the Spanish-American War in 1898, the U. S. dominated Cuba from then until the triumph of the Cuban Revolution at 3:15 A. M. on January 1, 1959. Right-wingers in Washington in 1952 made the stupid mistake of siccing the Mafia on Cuba, sharply exacerbating the brutality associated with the U. S. dominance of the island that had existed since 1898. Rosy Amaro yesterday captioned this photo with just one word: "Fortalezas." It's the Spanish word for "Strengths." She is abundantly aware that Cuba is a non-nuclear island nation and that John Bolton is supported by a nuclear-powered Supermilitary. So, she is referencing the symbolic "Strengths" of the Cuban people and their pugnacious love of independence. She believes John Bolton will win his Caribbean-Latin American War. And she believes the USA will lose the revolutions that will follow.

    Late Sunday -- April 14th, 2019 -- Rosy Amaro took this selfie surrounded by friends. Her smile was genuine and happy. As a barometer of the rhythms & pulses on the island, when Rosy Amaro is genuinely smiling, I believe the island is safe from foreigners...at least for the time-being. Like atrocious but "legal" U. S. Cuban-related laws in Washington {Helms-Burton, etc.} are made by Counter Revolutionary extremists, the Cuban narratives in the USA are almost entirely dictated by remnants from the long-ago Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba. Thus, Americans are taught that people like Bolton, Rubio, Ros-Lehtinen, the Diaz-Balarts, etc., know more about the rhythms & pulses of everyday life on the island than Rosy Amaro knows. And that's a blatant lie. When everyday Cubans on the island suffer, Rosy Amaro suffers right along with them.

      The photo above shows Rosy Amaro at work on Monday, April 15, 2019. John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Mauricio Claver-Carone, Otto Reich, Roger Noriega, and other newly Trump-empowered anti-Cuban Counter Revolutionaries are mouth-pieces for Marco Rubio on behalf of a mere handful of "Bay of Pigs veterans" in Miami. They control the Cuban narrative in the U. S. and Cuban laws in Congress while claiming they care for Cubans on the island MORE than Rosy Amaro does. THAT, I believe, is a bald-faced lie that harms America AS MUCH as it harms Cuba. But the "Bay of Pigs veterans" that John Bolton will honor anew two days from now -- April 17th in Little Havana -- have been for six decades...and will continue to be via subsequent generations...DEEPLY INGRAINED within the fabric of the U. S. democracy. Meanwhile, it is Cubans on the island like Rosy Amaro, NOT in Little Havana nor in the U. S. Congress, who actually CARE about Cubans on the island.

       Does U. S. Senator Marco Rubio personify a downward trend in the annals of the U. S. democracy since 1959????? Just asking, of course...but if that, by chance, is a legitimate question, why does the mainstream LEFT-WING MEDIA that is trying SO HARD to impeach Trump refuse to point out the Little Havana connection, the nexus that SOME believe MAY be the situation that gets the U. S. entangled in backyard wars or revolutions.

Trump, Rubio, Pompeo, and Bolton.

More dangerous to Cuba or to America?

Cuba Is Barely Hanging On

Let's Take A Look!!!
{Sunday, April 14th, 2019}

    Except for the Cuban narratives from Counter Revolutionaries in Little Havana/Miami, Americans are supposed to know just three basic words about Cuba -- Castro, Havana, and maybe Malecon. Regarding the "maybe," the Malecon is the famed seawall that looks 90-miles across the Florida Straits from Havana to Key West, Florida. The pertinent photo above was taken near sunset off the LEGENDARY and BELOVED  Malecon seawall at 7:00 P. M., April 10th, 2019. That reconnaissance-looking airplane and the military-looking helicopter so close to Havana scared some Cubans because it harkened back to a dire and scary threat in 1996 from Miami-piloted planes, which dropped mocking leaflets over Havana and seemed determined to provoke a situation that would dissuade President Clinton from normalizing relations with Cuba, which in fact it did, forcing Clinton to go in the diametrically opposite direction AND SIGN the infamous 1996 Helms-Burton Act. The photo above this week frightened Cubans in Havana when it was first posted on social media because they assumed it showed a U. S. military reconnaissance airplane and a protective helicopter. Cubans on the island anticipate, as early as this spring, that Little Havana Cubans in Miami will attempt a strong TRUMP-backed military attack to, at long last, successfully counter the 1959 victory by the Cuban Revolution.

     This photo from the superb London-based Reuters News Agency proves, I believe, that Cuba realizes that the USA's Trump administration is EVEN MORE of a threat than the vulnerable island suffered during the decades when the fully Batistiano-aligned Bush dynasty dominated the White House in Washington. It is a clear fact that the harassed Trump White House has anointed Marco Rubio with the wherewithal...economically and militarily...to  gift Counter Revolutionary extremists in Little Havana/Miami with their passionate desire -- FULL CONTROL ONCE AGAIN OF CUBA!! Rubio's convenient excuse for his regime-change in Cuba is the VENEZUELAN CRISIS that is blamed on Cuba, a simplistic ploy that the mainstream U. S. media and American citizens are compelled to accept. That reality created the image above, which shows 87-year-old Raul Castro newly emerged from his semi-retirement to make this exact declaration:

           "We will never abandon our duty of acting in solidarity with Venezuela. We reject strongly all types of blackmail. Cuba is being blamed for all evils, using lies and the worst kind of Hitlerian propaganda. We have told the U. S. administration Cuba is not afraid and will continue building the future of the nation without outside interference."

          Feisty, pugnacious and unsurprising words, to be sure, from the revolutionary brother of the late Fidel Castro. But CUBANinSIDER noticed, just hours apart, a quotation that will probably predicate Cuba's immediate and very problematic and unsettled future more than the above pertinent words from Raul Castro.

    Cuba's well-educated, healthy, and restive young-adult generation will determine whether the island survives the latest and probably the all-time most threatening Republican administration in Washington -- Trump's, which has turned all Cuban-related issues over to Marco Rubio and his puppet-masters in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, which actually comprises a tiny but powerful exile government within the bowels of the U. S. democracy. Rosy Amaro, an important and popular news anchor at a key state-owned television outlet in Havana, epitomizes the young-adults on the island who will try to hold off Rubio till the Trump era ends or capitulate to Little Havana's total control of the USA's Cuban policies, withh Little Havana fully backed by the U. S. treasury, the U. S. military, and the U. S. Congress where money easily supersedes either democracy or principle. So, while understanding Rubio is abundantly clear, comprehending Rosy Amaro, and her influence, is still a work in progress. She is a doting mother to a little girl and fiercely defends the island's children, with a fervor reminiscent of revolutionary heroine Celia Sanchez. Also, while it may shock propagandized Americans, she is not at all reluctant to use her television celebrity and her social media influence to sharply criticize any aspect of the Cuban government if she feels it is not serving everyday Cubans. This week, for example, Rosy Amaro openly warned new President Miguel Diaz-Canel, whom she supports, that the Cuban government must live up to the tenets of the new Constitution, the island's first since the 1970's, that allows for more free market enterprise and for more personal freedom.  Invoking her demand for a better Cuba for her 5-year-old daughter Mariana and all of Cuba's children, Rosy Amaro this week chose April 10-2019 -- the day the new Constitution took effect -- to lay these stringent words on the Cuban people and the Cuban government:

            "April 10, 2019, must be a day that Mariana writes down. Let's get out of our usual tragedies...transportation, food, salaries, internet. Let's tune into the Constitution as support for the personal lives of everyone. We have to feel part of the change so that we are generators of that change. The new Constitution will not change our immediate reality, but I hope that my Mariana's Cuba will be much better than what I live today."

        Fully cognizant of three generations of Cuban females -- her mother, herself, and her daughter -- that have been unmercifully targeted all their lives by Little Havana's Superpower-backed government headquartered in Miami, Rosy Amaro ALSO openly blames the Cuban government for shortcomings that she wants corrected, and such criticism is allowed in today's Cuba and how it affects the island's immediate future will be the determining factor as to whether the Revolution can continue to defy all odds and now survive during Trump's remaining time as U. S. President. But when Rosy Amaro -- on state television and on the now ubiquitous social media connections in Cuba -- has the courage and the power to sharply make demands of the government to improve, despite the embargo and other foreign obstacles, such "tragedies" as "food" and "salaries," then I think that a Rosy Amaro on the island rises above a Marco Rubio in the USA when it comes to whether or not Cubans like Rosy's 5-year-old daughter will have a decent and an Independent future in their own island nation. Rosy is convinced that Rubio and his ilk from Little Havana mean to harm children on the island like her 5-year-old daughter in order to seek revenge on the Revolution and/or to intimidate the adults into submission to a richer and stronger foreign entity.

     Cuba's new Constitution, its first since the 1970's, took effect this week -- on April 10, 2019. Rosy Amaro's references to it include the belief that Little Havana in Miami will accept nothing less than a complete Little Havana recapturing of the island.

       A new Constitution...a new non-Castro President born after the Revolution...new reforms approved by a strong majority on the island...but Little Havana will not even allow its puppet President, Trump, to even talk with a Cuban official. And this is the same Trump that flies around the world expressing his "love" for dictators in...North Korea, China, Russia, Egypt, or wherever. But, of course, Cuba is the only nation that chased a U.S.-backed dictatorship off the island...all the way to Little Havana in Miami, as it turned out.

    The excellent Reuters journalist in Cuba, Sarah Marsh, this week confirmed the "food" shortage that Rosy Amaro referenced. Sarah Marsh used a striking photo to show empty shelves at a key Havana supermarket. I could show you that photo but I won't because it saddens me to think my USA democracy allows a handful of Little Havana miscreants to punish, with starvation, totally innocent people in a much-weaker country. Cuba, which provides totally free education through college and totally free healthcare for life, is forced to buy, says Sarah Marsh, "60 to 70 percent of its food" due partly to the "central government inadequacies" but mostly to the "U. S. embargo" that can block farming equipment, fertilizer, etc., from reaching the island and also levy fines or otherwise punish other nations that might want to do business with Cuba. And this week -- on Thursday, April 11, 2019 -- Sarah Marsh reported that "Cuba Seeks A Food Miracle" that includes a 91-year-old former Revolutionary Commander providing Ostrich meat to hungry Cubans.

    At age 91, former anti-Batista guerrilla fighter and Rebel Commander Garcia Frias still makes strong revolutionary statements like the one above: "The Revolution is very complex, and ours is unique: born of the people." This week Garcia Frias was interviewed on state-wide television and he announced that his seven Ostrich Farms could help alleviate Cuba's meat shortage. The Reuters article by Sarah Marsh quoted a 22-year-old Havana law student as saying she had been unable to find chicken meat for the past month and Sarah Marsh reported, "Whenever chicken arrives at supermarkets in Havana these days, long queues quickly form and do not peter out until the stock is exhausted." EVERY chicken farmer in America wants to sell frozen chickens to Cuba and EVERY nearby port in Florida is anxious to deliver the food supply but just ONE Little Havana miscreant, such as Marco Rubio, can scuttle such sanity and decency whenever a Republican rules the White House, which is now the case with Donald Trump.

    And so, to counter the insane and indecent Rubio starvation tactics, 91-year-old Rebel Commander-turned-farmer Garcia Frias wants to supply ostrich meat for hungry Cubans.

    Cubans, even when hungry, have a notable sense of humor. Thus, popular comedians on the island -- such as the one above who calls herself Magdalena de Cuba --  had a glorious time on Cuban television mocking Garcia Frias and his "ostrich solution." Quickly Magdalena's video went viral around the world and Counter Revolutionary propaganda outfits in the United States media still can't stop laughing.

     In Miami Radio-TV Marti aired and raved about the Magdalena video that made fun of the "ostrich solution" presented in Cuba by 91-year-old Commander Garcia Frias. Since the 1980's, of course, Radio-TV Marti has been one of the BIGGEST JOKES IN THE USA -- on the American people!! Two decades ago a famous ABC-News report entitled "The Broadcast to Nowhere" revealed that Marti's purpose was to siphon off tons of tax dollars in a gushing pipeline from Washington to Miami to reward Counter Revolutionary Cubans...and that has been an ongoing GUSHER of tax dollars for decades. Recently top Florida-based journalist/professor Tracey Eaton updated that PRECISE fact using Freedom of Information U. S. government figures to document the insanely lucrative salaries and outside payments still being dished out by Marti's extreme Counter Revolutionary propaganda machine. Radio-TV Marti shines like a beacon to prove that the 1959 triumph of the Cuban Revolution says a helluva lot more about the United States than it says about the island of Cuba.

      As the Miami-based Progreso Weekly points out with the above graphic, the Little Havana Counter Revolutionaries, WHILE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RECAPTURE CUBA IN THE PAST 6+ DECADES, have been able to capture a significant part of the United States government. Of course Radio-TV Marti is one example but the biggest example right now is the "TRUMPIFIED MARCO RUBIO. A U. S. democracy that is unable or unwilling to rein in a "TRUMPIFIED MARCO RUBIO" may be a U. S. democracy that has more problems than Cuba, which is now having "hunger" problems largely because of..."TRUMPIFIED MARCO RUBIO." And that's a "TRUMPIFIED JOKE" targeting both Cuba and the USA.

A Tale of Two Women

A Cuban ANGEL and a USA LIAR??

I'll Let You Decide!!
{Tuesday, April 9th, 2019}

     Since 1959, when the upstart and audacious Cuban Revolution chased the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictators to their new capital -- Little Havana in Miami -- Counter Revolutionary zealots, backed by the incomparable might of the USA -- have tried desperately to recapture the island. Each day since then, Miami's Little Havana extremists have cast a tight red noose over the island, expecting on any given day for the past six decades to reel Cuba back into their web. It hasn't happened and that sheer fact is every bit as astonishing as the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on January 1, 1959. After all, Cuba is a mere island and the nearby USA is the world's economic and military Superpower. As a democracy-loving American, and a REPUBLICAN to boot, I've been to Cuba and I've studied its revolutionary history every day {and most nights} for three decades. My conclusion is this:

     {1} Extraordinary child-loving Cuban revolutionary women, such as Celia Sanchez, were primarily responsible for the triumph of the Cuban Revolution; and she was primarily inspired by the extreme brutality with which the Batista-Mafia dictators treated Cuba's peasant {non-elite} children beginning in 1952 and continuing till January 1-1959 when she was largely responsible for chasing the Batista-Mafia leaders to sanctuaries such as Miami and Newark.

      The twin photos of Celia Sanchez above help document her status as history's all-time greatest female revolutionary recruiter, decision-maker, guerrilla fighter, and military leader. The bottom illustration reflects the manner in which the child-loving Celia Sanchez for the past six decades has inspired two succeeding generations of Cuban women to zealously defend their island against a return of the Batistianos-Mafiosi.

      {2} Epitomizing today's generation of Cuban women on the island who are inspired by revolutionary heroines like Celia Sanchez is broadcast journalist Rosy Amaro.

     Very popular and quite influential across the island, Rosy Amaro is shown above this week receiving another certificate of appreciation for her work as a journalist and for her Celia Sanchez-like fervor in defense of Cuba's children against the Trump administration's all-out effort to recapture the island for the Little Havana zealots.

A Cuban mother, Rosy Amaro.

    Today Rosy Amaro's precious and precocious {singer, gymnast, etc.} daughter is 5-years-old. They have been to capital cities in Europe and they have close relatives in Florida, Virginia, and Arizona. Rosy, like other mothers on the island today, believes that President Trump will permit his five prime anti-Cuban war-mongers -- Marco Rubio, Mauricio Claver-Carone, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and Elliot Abrams -- to attack Cuba later this spring with the world's most powerful military if the new Trump-imposed sanctions don't starve the island into submission before that becomes necessary. Yet, with Celia Sanchez-like fervor, Rosy has made the decision that she had rather die fighting for Cuban sovereignty...and all of the children on the island...then make the easy flight to Miami where she could live royally but "with a guilty conscience."

     And Rosy Amaro has talked to her daughter about the dire threat they and all Cubans on the island now face from the Trump administration that takes all of its orders related to Cuba from unchallenged Little Havana denizens such as Marco Rubio. And Rosy also, while holding her little girl's hand, tried to explain why she had made the decision to remain on the island regardless of the much-wealthier sanctuary that would await them in Miami.

     For the aforementioned reasons, I nominate Rosy Amaro as a CUBAN ANGEL because of her Celia Sanchez-like love for Cuba's children -- all Cuba's children and not just her own precious 5-year-old daughter.

    This photo was taken this past weekend in Rosy Amaro's Havana home. It shows Rosy's daughter on the left with four 5-year-old friends. Rosy had taken a lot of time attending to the make-up and outfits for all these children before she then monitored the girlish frivolity that ensued. Now, perhaps, you know why the child-loving Rosy Amaro is my nomination as a Celia Sanchez-type CUBAN ANGEL. With that being said, permit me now to nominate what I consider to be a typical self-serving USA LIAR who I also consider to be a threat to Cuban chilldren.

      Sponsored, funded, and anointed by one of the many right-wing and ultra-rich "THINK TANKS" in Washington, Miami's Ana Quintana is one of what seems like an endless array of normally unchallenged Counter Revolutionary propagandists. In the right-wing Washington Inquirer newspaper this past weekend, for example, Ana Quintana raved about the new anti-Cuban sanctions mandated by Rubio on behalf of TRUMP, and Quintana seemed to rejoice in her belief that the extremely cruel new sanctions will surely starve the Cubans on the island, softening them up for the military regime-change later this spring. Quintana's EXACT Washington Inquirer words were: "Cuba's foreign ministry is raging about U. S. sanctions. Why? Because that means less money for the Cuban colonial masters." Backed by extreme intimidation tactics from her hometown of Miami and by extreme financial input from her Think Tank in Washington and other well-heeled Counter Revolutionaries, Ana Quintana is convinced that her kind are the only ones who have a right to express opinions about Cuba. WELL, I have an opinion; and I think the USA is inundated with a litany of self-serving professional anti-Cuban liars and propagandists like...Ana Quintana.

     Of course, Ana Quintana and her ilk can go on right-wing media outlets every day and be hailed Super Experts on U.S. - CUBA RELATIONS. Then, without a scintilla of contradiction, such audiences will be assured that the BATISTA-MAFIA DICTATORSHIP in Cuba was the sweetest, most kind-hearted, and most democracy-loving government on the planet while, of course, the REVOLUTIONARY CUBAN GOVERNMENT since 1959 has been the most ruthless, brutal, and bloodthirsty regime in history. Never expecting to be contradicted or challenged, people like Ana Quintana, not so unlike propagandists in tightly controlled dictatorships, have virtually uncontested lay-ups in the conservative, right-wing  U. S. media and even in the intimidated mainstream and left-wing media that is simply afraid of Miami extremists.

     On powerful U. S. media outlets such as Fox News, professional anti-Cuba propagandists such as Ana Quintana can appear 24-hours-a-day and never be challenged. Thus two generations of Americans are supposed to believe that the Batista-Mafia rule of Cuba back in the 1950s made for a beautiful democracy and, of course, an idyllic paradise FOR ALL CUBANS and not just for the brutal Mafia thieves like Fulgencio Batista, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Santo Trafficante, and, of course, for the rich U. S. businessmen who paid kick-backs so they could control the so-called "legitimate" businesses on the island.

     Of course, Fox News anchors pretend to be journalist when they introduce the litany of professional anti-Cuban propagandists from Miami such as Ana Quintana. Moreover, Americans are supposed to be too stupid or too intimidated to dismiss such introductions: "We now welcome Ana Quintana direct from the mighty Heritage Foundation here in Washington. Born, reared and educated in Miami, we all know that Ana is an unbiased and world-class expert on Cuba, the Caribbean and Latin America. Ana will explain why it is absolutely imperative that the Trump administration, inspired by Miami's Marco Rubio, must execute regime-changes in Venezuela, Nicaragua and MOST OF ALL IN CUBA, which is the source for all of Latin America's ills since 1959. So, Ana, now tell our audience why the Batistiano exiles in Miami need to be reinstated as the rulers in Cuba...FOR THE SAKE, OF COURSE, OF THE U. S. DEMOCRACY as well as the persecuted Cubans on the island." As easily documented by GOOGLING Miami-fueled car-bombs, airplane-bombs, hotel-bombs, the Torricelli & Helms-Burton congressional bombs, and the plethora of Batistiano-sycophants such as the Bush dynasty, well-financed professional Counter Revolutionary propagandists like Ana Quintana can saturate conservative and right-wing media outlets any hour of any day. And greatly exacerbating that anti-Democracy fall-out from Little Havana/Miami since 1959 is the sheer fact that even the mainstream U. S. media is too scared to contradict Little Havana/Miami extremists.

     And that's why, after reading Ana Quintana's vicious comments in this past weekend's Washington Inquirer, I start this second week in April-2019 by nominating the child-loving Rosy Amaro as the modern-day Cuban Angel. Whether Rosy and other Cubans like her can survive the Little Havana-directed Trump administration remains to be seen, but their effort, I believe, will be memorable.

     The child-loving revolutionary icon, Celia Sanchez, to this day remains the prime inspiration for the three generations of Cuban mothers since the 1950s who have tried so desperately to protect their children from foreign miscreants who resurface in EVERY U. S. Republican administration {of which there have been six since the 1950s, with the latest being TRUMP'S White House, which seems to be even more dangerous for innocent Cubans than the three BUSH White Houses that were 100% aligned with extremist Miami Cubans.}.

     Meanwhile, Rosy Amaro -- my nomination as today's Celia Sanchez-type CUBAN ANGEL -- is well aware that she and the other Cuban mothers on the island are being threatened with starvation now by the more stringent Trump-Rubio sanctions and later this spring they expect a USA military attack designed to execute a regime-change, finally revenging the Bay of Pigs military attack in April of 1961. So, you ask, "Why is Rosy smiling as she treads carefully on that very real and very narrow obstacle course?" I'll close by answering that question to the best of my knowledge: "Rosy, in the spring of 2019...like Celia Sanchez back in the 1950s...is at peace with her decision in the spring of 2019 to resist Trump & Rubio at all costs no matter the risks, the consequences, or the overwhelming odds that favor the world's Superpower whenever a Republican President is the USA's Commander-in-Chief." But, hopefully, the child-lovers will survive.

Helping OR Starving Cubans

Will Rubio's Starvation Plan Work?

     This interesting photo, courtesy of Ariel Rey Rollero/ACN, shows the first of 100 brand-new garbage collecting trucks that Japan is donating to Cuba. In this first week of April-2019 the first 24 trucks have arrived in Havana and the remaining 76 are on the way. Kazuhiro Fujimura, the Japanese Ambassador to Cuba, said, "This is one way we are trying to help the Cuban people. In addition to the trucks, we have trained the Cuban drivers and mechanics how to use the tools and the repair spare parts that we are sending with the trucks. This is from the people of Japan to the people of Cuba." Cuba has just one enemy in the world, but it happens to be the nearby world Superpower, the United States, which has the economic and military might to punish and scare away other nations that may want to help Cuba or merely conduct normal trade with the island. So, the gesture this week from Japan, a prime U. S. trading partner, is a brave move.

        THE VERY SAME DAY THIS WEEK -- Friday, April 5th, 2019 -- that Japan was making that brave donation of garbage trucks to the Cuban people, the USA Vice President Mike Pence was speaking at Rice University in Houston, Texas. If you read the coverage of that speech in articles by the Houston Chronicle and the Jamaica Observer, I believe you will comprehend the gist of Pence's message, which was essentially to cowardly and boastfully tout the starvation of Cubans on the island as a prelude to the Trump administration's recapturing the island on behalf of the latest generation of Counter Revolutionary extremists in the Little Havana section of Miami. Pence, in his speeches or statements about Cuba, merely does what President Trump, Secretary of State Pompeo, National Security Adviser Bolton, and the USA's Western Hemisphere boss Claver-Carone do...AND THAT IS TO PARROT WHATEVER THE USA'S LATEST CUBAN DICTATOR, Senator Marco Rubio from Little Havana, DIRECTS THEM TO SAY. In Houston on April 5th Pence indicated that as soon as the USA executes its regime-change in Venezuela, Cuba is next followed by Nicaragua. Typical of all Batistiano-dictated Republican administrations since 1959, Pence blamed Cuba for all the ills in the Caribbean and Latin America, including...of course...the Venezuelan crisis. While Pence expected the USA to have executed its regime-change in Venezuela two months ago, he blamed poor-little-embargoed Cuba for the delay. Of course, two huge nuclear-powered Superpowers, Russia and China, have sent airplane loads of medicine, food, etc., as well as well-armed Russian and Chinese soldiers to Venezuela. But, of course, Pence is afraid of mighty Russia and mighty China so, of course, he reserves his regime-change talk only to small nations, especially little Cuba, which is the only nation that ever overthrew a U.S.-backed dictatorship -- Batista-Mafia -- only to chase the leaders to Miami and Newark where, beginning in January of 1959, they quickly set up what has turned out to be a very rich exile-Cuban government within the bowels of the U. S government. And Pence's April 5th speech in Houston, I believe, merely reflects the latest Republican administration's dire desire to help the Little Havana extremists to recapture Cuba.

     In Houston on April 5th this Godofredo A. Vasquez/Houston Chronicle photo shows Rice University students loudly booing the speech by Vice President Pence. The Chronicle indicated they were booing Pence because they perceive him to be anti-gay but Hispanic students are also staunchly against Republican imperialism in Latin America.

     This powerful lady -- Maria Fernanda Espinosa -- has been in Cuba all week and will remain there this weekend. She is the President of the United Nations General Assembly. "I seek to strengthen ties between Cuba and the United Nations," Mrs. Fernanda Espinosa said. "When innocent people are threatened or in need, it is our responsibility, whenever we can, to offer our input and help." The phrase "whenever we can" obviously refers to the fact that she is not happy that the United States has veto power over her UN General Assembly as well as the incomparable economic and military might to back it up.

     Cuba's Ambassador to the United Nations is Anayansi Rodriguez and she is a close friend of Maria Fernanda Espinosa, the President of the UN's General Assembly. Ms. Rodriguez said, "Cuba is very willing to speak with and be very friendly to anyone and any nation that is friendly to us. We spoke with and we were very friendly to President Obama but we have been blind-sided by his successor being another Republican, a President who speaks with the top leaders of North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Vietnam...but not us because I, as well as others, including Maria Fernanda, believe all Republican leaders are directed by Cuban extremists in Miami and in the U. S. Congress."

        If you take time to tap the 3-minute video above you will hear in English the words of a great and decent lady -- Anayansi Rodriguez, Cuba's Ambassador to the UN. {As a democracy-loving American, one of my great shames is that, since the 1950's, the U. S. democracy, especially during all Republican administrations, has allowed a handful of Cuban extremists to dictate America's Cuban policies and America's Cuban narratives. There are, I believe, over five million Cuban women on the island, like Anayansi Rodriguez, who are far better human beings than the handful of USA-embedded Cuban extremists and the sycophants who support them}.

A Personal Note:

    I have posted on CUBANinSIDER.com about 1,210 essays, deleting some as out-dated, but as of April-2019 some 1,013 of the Cuban updates remain. This week, despite topical updates as the island struggles mightily to survive the Trump administration, I became aware of a comment made by one of the most powerful Cuban-American Counter Revolutionaries that Trump has anointed to recapture Cuba. That comment: "By summertime this year one of the most important Florida and U. S. ports will be Cuba's deep-water, very modern, and strategically located Mariel Port 30 miles outside of Atlanta." I have studied that boost and, unfortunately, I believe it might be an accurate prognostication.

    Perhaps that explains why, this week in April of 2019, a CUBANinSIDER.com essay posted on April 2, 2017 -- two-years-old -- has been the most-read this week. It is entitled: "CUBA'S MAFIA HISTORY LINGERS" and you can Google that exact title and it will take you to it. The sub-title is: "Still Topical Today and apparently astute and informed readers believe it is. My next topical essay on CUBANinSider.com will explain WHY I believe the aforementioned boast about the Port of Mariel will likely come true. {It was made in Miami}.
