USA's Miami Shame

Reaches NEW HEIGHTS Today!!

     Today is April 17, 2019. Arguably, America's all-time greatest historic shame revolves around allowing right-wing thugs to direct its Cuban policies from 1898 {The Spanish-American War} till today {mid-way of the Trump presidency}. And today that shame reaches a new height when extreme right-wing war-monger John Bolton, speaking in Miami on behalf of President Donald Trump, elevates America's right-wing gutless extremism even beyond 1898's Remember-the-Maine criminality, the 1903 theft of Guantanamo Bay, the 1952 nexus with the Mafia in the wholesale rape and robbery of Cuba, the mid-April of 1961 gutless and humiliating Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba, the 1962 Embargo that still reigns as the longest and cruelest in world history, and the 1996-till-today Helms-Burton Act that was entirely written by Cuban exile extremists led by Jorge Mas Canosa and Lincoln Diaz-Balart whose dad {before fleeing to Little Havana/Miami in 1959} was a key Minister in the Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba. If you question any of the foregoing I assume you are a propagandist for the Cuban-exile extremists in Little Havana/Miami that Bolton affectionately calls the "the Bay of Pigs survivors" -- the ones he joins in Little Havana today to promise them that the USA will return Cuba to them. Of course, THE BAY OF PIGS SURVIVORS were captured by Fidel Castro-led Cubans in April-1961 and THEN SOLD BACK TO THE U. S. FOR $53 MILLION, most of which was in the form of BAYER BABY ASPIRIN. And, of course, in April of 2019 very few of those BAY OF PIGS SURVIVORS are still living, but Bolton at Trump's behest today in Little Havana will insist that the USA IS WILLING TO HARM AND MOCK THE REST OF THE WORLD in order to revenge/avenge the cowardly and ill-planned BAY OF PIGS/CIA/USA DEFEAT IN APRIL-1961.

    Actually, this initial Life Magazine recap of the Bay of Pigs attack was euphemistically slanted toward the exiles and the CIA. President Kennedy, who had inherited the Little Havana dominance of the USA's Cuban policies, did in fact order massive bombing of all three Cuban airfields but with planes disguised as Cuban planes. Life's depiction as "humiliating the US" was correct in April of 1961 and it is still correct in April of 2019...even if the Cuban narrative in the U. S. since 1961 has been dictated from Little Havana in Miami, where the infamous anti-Cuban Counter Revolutionary John Bolton, speaking on behalf of the USA today, will promise "the Bay of Pigs survivors" {as he called them in his Tweet} that the U. S. will return Cuba to them.

      The USA's stupid and cruel Cuban policy is THE ONLY TOPIC THAT COULD GET THE U. S. or any other country CONDEMNED UNANIMOUSLY IN THE VERY DIVERSE UNITED NATIONS. But in 2016, with an ignominious unanimity that the then-decent President Obama agreed with, the USA's Cuban policy got America condemned 191-to-0 in the worldwide vote. As a Democracy-loving American, that embarrassed me but, obviously, the generations of Americans since the 1950s have simply not had enough Democracy-lovers. Since 1952, when right-wingers sicced the Mafia on Cuba, right-wing thugs in all six Republican administrations have been 100% aligned, not with the majority of Cuban-Americans, but with only a mere handful of extremist Cuban exiles. The latest Republican President, Trump...as shown in the photo above...QUICKLY lived up to that fact by going to Little Havana in Miami and, appearing before a huge BRIGADE ASSAULT 2506 BAY OF PIGS BANNER, he genuflected shamelessly before the Little Havana choir...THE VERY SAME THING THAT TRUMP'S MOST-FAMED WAR-MONGER JOHN BOLTON WILL DO TODAY.

    While Nixon as Vice-President in April of 1959 solely prevented Revolutionary Cuba and the USA from normalizing relations, and Reagan as President in the 1980's officially anointed only Cuban-exile extremists as the political power-brokers in Florida and Washington, it is the Bush dynasty, although never held accountable, that crowned Cuban-exile extremists as, essentially, a government within the bowels of the U. S. democracy. The mutually beneficial Bush nexus with Cuban-exiles actually began in the 1950s as revealed by declassified U. S. documents but reached alarming cresendoes by 1976, the only year George H. W. Bush was CIA Director, and then sharply accelerated during his 8 years as Reagan's Vice President. Then during George H. W. Bush's one presidential term and his son George W. Bush's two presidential terms, Cuban-exile extremists in Little Havana/Miami were in muddy HOG-heaven.

    In 1989 little Bush brother Jeb wanted to break into politics in a big way too and HE KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT. He moved to Miami and became Chairman of Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's campaign to represent Little Havana in the U. S. Congress. As shown above, backed by the Bush political and economic machine, Ros-Lehtinen won her congressional seat in 1989 as Jeb Bush mimicked a halo on her head. From 1989 till she retired this year, 2019, the Havana-born Ros-Lehtinen was, along with the Diaz-Balart brothers and Marco Rubio, the most vicious anti-Cuban members of the U. S. Congress from Little Havana in Miami. Jeb Bush wisely chose her as his stepping-stone in 1989 because he knew she was the young shining light among the most extremist Counter Revolutionaries in Miami. When she retired after 3 decades in the U. S. Congress earlier this year, Ros-Lehtinen, of course, cashed in on her congressional experience by, typically, signing on with a powerful firm that deals with Latin American issues.

      Of course, the Bush dynasty has never had to apologize for dealing handsomely with the most extremist Cuban-exiles such as the infamous and self-proclaimed anti-Cuban terrorist Orlando Bosch, shown above at a cozy dinner with Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

     Very seldom, of course, has the Bush dynasty had to feel embarrassed about its dire connections with the most extremist Cuban-exiles. But, uh...on his way to his two-terms as Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush's fervent desire to totally appease the Counter Revolutionary extremists included...uh...asking his father, then President George H. W. Bush, to PARDON Orlando Bosch. Of course, uh...that's what happened. As you can see above, it took a very brave journalist to ask Jeb about his intimate ties to Orlando Bosch. Surprised by the journalistic audacity, Jeb's expression and, uh...reply...well, you know...!!!

     The all-time most famous Cuban-exile terrorist, of course, was Bosch associate and CIA-aligned Luis Posada Carriles. As the photo on the left shows, Posada in 1959 along with many other Counter Revolutionary zealots, was sent to the then-secretive Army School of the Americas at Fort Benning in Georgia, where he graduated as a 2nd Lt. Unknown to Americans, the "Army School" was where the U. S. trained soldiers from U.S.-friendly dictatorships...Batista in Cuba, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Somozo in Nicaragua, etc...and then sent them back to those dictatorships to make sure they survived as U.S.-friendly dictators. So, that's where the most extreme post-Batista exiles were sent, like Posada, to train for BRIGADE 2506 that supposedly would quickly recapture Cuba for the Miami-based Batistianos. It didn't work out that way but what the "Army School" did was to train Posada as a renowned explosives expert, which he famously put to maximum use for decades as an unapologetic anti-Cuban/USA terrorist.

    Of course, both Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles lived out long lives...in their 80s and 90s...as heralded Freedom Fighter Heroes in Miami.

      Another of the 2nd Lt./Brigade 2506 graduates at Fort Benning's Army School of the Americas was Jorge Mas Canosa.

     Later -- as shown above with George H. W. Bush -- Jorge Mas Canosa was essentially anointed by the Bush dynasty as the USA's Cuban-exile leader. With that anointment, Mas Canosa emerged as what amounted to a Cuban dictator on U. S. soil. On the way to becoming Miami's first Cuban billionaire, Canosa not only dominated Florida politically but easily also dominated all Republican presidents and even the U. S. Congress. For example, Canosa founded the Cuban American National Foundation after he was advised to study and then copy the ultra-powerful AIPAC Israeli lobby. With that uncontested power, Canosa quickly created the Radio-TV Marti anti-Cuba propaganda machine that, since the 1980's, has DAILY pumped an obscene amount of tax dollars into a gushing pipeline from Washington to Miami. But, in addition to the countless major institutions in Miami named for him, Canosa's most endearing fame relates to his being the prime architect of 1996's Helms-Burton Act, which remains to this day the primary tool for punishing Cubans on the island and, some brave souls say, the primary mechanism for continuing to enrich and empower the Little Havana section of Miami, Florida.

     Prior to Canosa's empowerment, in 1962...after the Bay of Pigs attack in April of 1961 had failed to recapture Cuba...the U. S. imposed the economic EMBARGO, or blockade as Cuba calls it, on the vulnerable island. The famous Carlos Latuff image above is how the world views the U. S. embargo of Cuba but IT HAS EXISTED TO APPEASE RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS from 1962 till today, the longest and cruelest BY FAR economic embargo ever imposed by a strong nation against a much-weaker nation in world history. Canosa in 1996 greatly stiffened the embargo, even putting in a clause that prevented Democratic presidents, like the decent Obama, from putting an end to it. The 1996 Batistiano Helms-Burton monstrosity even included a Title 3 element that called for the wholesale punishing and suing of foreign companies that did business with Cuba. But EVEN the two GEORGE W. BUSH presidential terms, which were 100% aligned with the Little Havana extremists, refused to enact TITLE THREE of the Batistiano Helms-Burton disaster because to do so would anger America's best friends and, HOLY COW, might even leave the USA liable to be sued BY CUBA in WORLD COURTS. BUT GUESS WHAT? Today -- Wednesday, April 17th, 2019 -- with extreme stupidity the Trump White House will announce that it is enacting Helms-Burton Title 3 as a last-ditch and final effort to starve Cuba.

     Over the past five decades, the Bush dynasty has, as shown above with President George W. Bush, cultivated a Who's Who of Counter Revolutionary zealots against Cuba. That, of course, includes Bush-trained John Bolton.

      And that brings us to today -- April 17, 2019 -- when John Bolton, speaking for the otherwise ensnared President Trump, is back in Little Havana to assure Miami's "Bay of Pigs veterans" that they have waited long enough...SIX DECADES...for the U. S. to recapture Cuba for them. And John Bolton TODAY very stupidly will announce, as a bonus for Little Havana, that the U. S. IS ENACTING TITLE 3 OF HELMS-BURTON.

     Born 45-years-old ago in Rome, Federica Mogherini is a very powerful and decent lady. For the past five years she has been the High Representative of the 28-nation European Union in charge of its Foreign Affairs. She has been to Cuba many times and she dearly loves the Cuban people. She has repeatedly called the U. S. embargo "exceptionally cruel and exceedingly illegal." Back on April 10th, when she first heard that the USA was about to enact Title 3 of Helms-Burton, Federica Mogherini fired off a scathing letter to U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, another of Trump's anti-Cuban zealots, and warned him that she, and the EU, will sue the U. S. in an International Courtroom IF Title 3 is enacted. Outside of Batistiano-friendly state and federal courtrooms in Miami, Federica Mogherini has long insisted that the USA could and should be held accountable for its Cuban policies.

     Another ultra-powerful and decent woman is Cecilia Malmstrom who has been the top European Union Trade Commissioner for the past five years. Cecilia Malmstrom, along with Federica Mogherini, co-signed that scathing April 10th letter to Secretary of State Pompeo. They did it ON BEHALF of innocent Cubans and ON BEHALF of European Union countries that might want to trade with Cuba.

     A typical young Cuban mother on the island, Daily Perez Guillen is also a well-educated journalist that is fully up-to-date on what John Bolton will say in Miami today. Daily, the mother of a young son and young daughter, is also well aware that cruel post-Obama sanctions added by the Trump administration have created a food shortage on the island, especially chicken and eggs. Her expression above reflects her sadness as well as her determination to "survive both Trump and the lack of concern from Americans to what, in their name, his White House is doing to precious Cuban children."

    Unlike the anti-Cuban Batistiano zealots who populate all Republican White Houses in Washington, Daily Perez Gullen, in the middle of the above photo, is deeply in tune with Cubans on the island...especially everyday Cubans who are parents and grandparents. "President Obama came over here," Daily said, "and he faithfully assured us that we had nothing 'to fear' from the United States. But we fear for our children whenever a Republican is the U. S. president. We believe that children in a sovereign nation should not be threatened by people in a stronger foreign nation."

    Yesterday -- April 16th on the eve of John Bolton's gutless speech today in Miami -- the Cuban mother Daily Perez Guillen posted on social media this photo of her two beloved and fiercely protected children peacefully feeding pigeons on a street in Havana. Daily believes that children who are so well protected in Cuba have the right to not be continually threatened by an unchecked handful of miscreants outside of Cuba, especially those hiding behind the skirts of a nearby Superpower. Below are two more photos that Daily Perez Guillen posted on social media yesterday. It was her way of trying to soothe the pain of what she knew would be John Bolton's speech today in Miami.

Cuban children yesterday.

Cuban children yesterday.

    Today in Miami John Bolton, speaking on behalf of President Donald Trump and 326 million Americans, will enact something...it's called Title 3 of Helms-Burton...that even the Bush dynasty refused to enact because it is considered by many decent people to be the STRONGEST EFFORT the United States has imposed since 1959 to threaten the children on the vulnerable island of Cuba. And perhaps the biggest shame of all is that, once again, the American people will be propagandized into accepting what John Bolton says today.

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.
