STARVATION: Another Cuban Attack

Once Again, Little Cuba, Coveted by BIG USA!!
{Wednesday, April 24th, 2019}

    Unfortunately for America and for Democracy, I believe that Ana Quintana is a prime example of extreme, well-funded propagandists masquerading as prolific "journalists" while they do the business of ultra-rich Think Tanks {in her case, the Heritage Foundation}. Catering to special extreme projects {in her case, the long-sought/right-wing recapture of Cuba}, Ana Quintana's vicious and ubiquitous propaganda assaults on innocent Cubans, taking full advantage of the digital age and untold millions of propaganda dollars, often get saturation coverage, overwhelming and drowning out real journalism. The latest Ana Quintana propaganda speil flooded the media spectrum on April 21st and is entitled: "Trump's Cuba Sanctions Will Punish Maduro's Enablers In Havana." Of course, what this and all of Ana Quintana's right-wing propaganda jolts promote is the starvation of Cubans on the island to appease or actually benefit a few rich and politically powerful Cuban-Americans as well as, most unfortunately, the RUBIO/DIAZ-BALART/CLAVER-CARONE/BOLTON/POMPEO morass that is hellbent on using the Trump White House to orchestrate the recapture of Cuba for the saintly, Mother Teresa-like denizens hovering in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood. And that's where still today their prized 1961 Bay of Pigs battle flag...BRIGADA ASALTO 2506...SEEMS to take precedence over the still-PROUD United States of America flag.

      As a democracy-loving American, I sincerely believe that the U. S. flag on U. S. soil should always fly higher than all other flags, including the normal Cuban flag.

     Of course, massively funded right-wing propagandists like Ana Quintana who masquerade as "journalists" can emerge from the Internet and from live engagements before right-wing choirs to be featured on a vast array of massively funded right-wing propaganda Think Tanks and media outfits, both print & radio-tv propaganda units. This phenomenon, both left-wing and right-wing, has created a "news" media in the USA that is strictly on the LEFT OR RIGHT fringes of America...leaving behind the 80% or so of decent and moderate Americans who don't cater to either left-wing or right-wing propaganda from either the media, politicians or the rich, biased, mushrooming Think Tanks. But the primary losers from the extremes of propagandists like Ana Quintana are totally innocent people who are their targets -- and in Ana Quintana's media-hyped gun-sights are the innocent people on the island of Cuba that Ana Quintana seems to take joy in starving...to APPARENTLY soften up the island for a stronger BAY OF PIGS-like attack.

     With that being said, by contrast, allow me to introduce you to a real journalist. Colombia-born Andrea Rodriguez is stationed in Cuba by the Associated Press. Andrea is not a media propagandist; she is a journalist. She fairly writes balanced and unbiased articles from Havana for the AP, whether they shed pro-or-con vibes about the Cuban government. And Andrea understands the rhythms and pulses that course through the lives of everyday Cubans on the island, and so would her readers IF they ignored the likes of ANA QUINTANA and depended on true journalism from the likes of Andrea Rodriguez emanating from the island. Why is that important, you say, if Cuba is merely a small island nation? Well, it's important because...in the eyes of much of the world...Cuba says a helluva lot more about the superpower United States than it says about Cuba. And for that reason alone, Americans should know the difference between a lushly funded propagandist like Ana Quintana and a hard-working true journalist like Andrea Rodriguez. You see, the right-wing propagandist rejoices in punishing innocent people in a weaker country while the true journalist just reports on it.

     In the last few days while the likes of Ana Quintana were propagandizing about the wonderful Mother Teresa-types in the Trump administration starving Cubans on the island, Andrea Rodriguez was merely reporting on it for the Associated Press. Thus, Andrea reported that the incredibly new and cruel starvation-type sanctions imposed by the USA's Batistiano-aligned Trump administration are creating food shortages on the island, JUST LIKE they were intended to do. The AP photo above, for example, shows 80-year-old Puro Castell as she left one normally well-stocked Supermarket that had empty shelves in search of one that had food she needed. The AP article quoted Ms. Castell as saying, "I've taken care of myself my whole life. I don't just sit on my hands. I'm worn out but I walk all over town." Intense sanctions or military strikes by a strong nation against a much smaller and weaker nation usually affects the very old and the very young the most, and that's the case with the harsher-than-ever sanctions newly imposed by the Trump administration against Cubans on the island. AND REMEMBER, the U. S. economic embargo against Cuba was first imposed in 1962 for the purpose, according to de-classified U. S. documents, of STARVING, DEPRIVING, AND MAKING MISERABLE Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government. {And then what? A return of the brutal U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship from Little Havana?}. The economic embargo by the U. S. against Cuba...1962 till today in 2019...is easily the longest and cruelest in history by a powerful nation against a weaker nation. But the cruelest sanctions have been imposed in the past couple of weeks by Trump's minions...Rubio, Diaz-Balart, Bolton, Pompeo, Claver-Carone, etc...who must be rejoicing over the AP photo above of the hungry 80-year-old Puro Castell. But Andrea Rodriguez also pointed out that "as of now no one is starving in Cuba." Since 1959 Cuba has guaranteed food where needed as well as maintaining totally free educations through college and totally free healthcare for life for all Cubans. When Little Havana in Miami inflicts Republican administrations to try to starve Cubans on the island by cutting off all financial assets of the government, the people...of course...who suffer the most are people like Puro Castell. But instead of studying the AP photo above, Americans are propagandized to believe that starving Cubans on the island like Puro is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to save the United States. Of course, for the past 6+ decades it has been to enrich and empower the likes of revengeful denizens like...Rubio, the Diaz-Balarts, Claver-Carone, Reich, Noriega, Quintana, etc. etc. It appears that this generation of pusillanimous Americans is simply too propagandized or too afraid to offer an opinion on the fresh AP photo above. But I believe all Americans should be free to visit Cuba and SEE AND JUDGE its people for themselves and also be free enough to form this opinion: IT IS UNFATHOMABLY CRUEL FOR ANY POWERFUL NATION TO USE FOOD AS A TOOL OR WEAPON TO PUNISH OR TO EVISCERATE INNOCENT CITIZENS IN A MUCH WEAKER NATION EVEN FOR ONE WEEK!! Yes, the United States of America has been using food as a weapon against innocent Cubans since 1962, on behalf of the American people. And now in 2019, again on behalf of the American people, the Little Havana-directed Trump minions have greatly expanded that unfathomable cruelty RELATED TO FOOD.

    Twice in recent days America's and Donald Trump's NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER John Bolton has been to Miami to declare the USA's war on Cuba, supposedly convincing Americans that little Cuba IS THE BIGGEST NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT TO SUPERPOWER AMERICA. Bolton, while he was a key adviser to President George W. Bush, famously concocted lies in 2002 to try to convince the Batistiano-aligned Bush to launch a full-out military overthrow of Cuba's revolutionary government. Even President Bush refused to take Bolton's advice. Incredibly, the mostly scared mainstream U. S. media as well as the USA's 326 million mostly propagandized citizens accepted the USA's latest Republican president, Donald Trump, recycling the most dangerous right-wing Counter Revolutionary anti-Cuban zealots from the Little Havana-aligned Bush dynasty -- such as Mauricio Claver-Carone, Otto Reich, Elliott Abrams, John Bolton, etc. -- into ultra-powerful/war-mongering positions in the current White House. To pacify a few elderly remnants of Cuba's long-ago Batista dictatorship that {since 1959} have dominated Little Havana in Miami, President Trump has allowed Little Havana's Marco Rubio to personally position the likes of Bolton to direct the long-desired Batistiano regime-change in Cuba. The photo above was Bolton's first trip to Miami to declare war on Cuba. The photo below shows Bolton's second trip to Batistiano territory in Florida a few days ago to re-emphasize the USA's war on Cuba...you know, the poor little island nation that Mr. Bolton says is about to conquer and destroy the USA.

    This photo shows John Bolton last Wednesday in prime Batistiano territory -- Miami/Coral Gables/Little Havana -- officially speaking for America and declaring his war on Cuba. Notice, if you will, that Bolton's is heralding his insult to America, to Democracy, and to Decency by standing in front of the BRIGADA ASALTO 2506 banner, which was the Battle Flag used by the USA/CIA-trained Batistiano exiles who attacked Cuba at the BAY OF PIGS in mid-April of 1961. Six decades later right-wing Batistiano sycophants like Bolton preach that the USA humiliation at the BAY OF PIGS was one of the USA's monumental achievements. When a JOHN BOLTON can fly into Little Havana, speak for the USA, and then get APPLAUDED for promising to use the Treasury and the Military of the United States to eviscerate totally innocent people in a nearby helpless nation, perhaps it is time for even cowardly and unpatriotic Americans to finally admit that the USA may be in more trouble than the island of Cuba.
        Note: The two following photos from Batista's Cuba in the 1950's still today vividly remind Cuban mothers on the island that PERHAPS evisceration by the Trump minions would be better than a return of the Batistianos. Study the photos, then judge for yourself.

      In APRIL OF 2019 it is still apparent that right-wing thugs in all Republican administrations since the 1950's can get away with assaulting and starving Cubans on the island because Americans are not supposed to know that the photo above correctly represents how the Batista-Mafia dictatorship treated everyday Cubans who were not allowed to participate in the wholesale rape and robbery of the island by the Batistianos, the Mafiosi, and the U. S. companies that paid lush kickbacks in order to partake of the financial rewards. The photo above, I believe, indicates that the Batistianos, the Mafiosi, and the U. S. businessmen were stupid not to at least throw some crumbs to such everyday Cubans...and maybe even provide them a little educational and health care.

    This photo, TOO, is one that Americans are propagandized NOT to consider as an integral part of U.S.-Cuban relations. But, yes, these Cuban mothers were bravely protesting the murder of their children by agents of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship, and this was the major cause of the Cuban Revolution AND the primary reason the Cuban Revolution ended the Batista-Mafia dictatorship. "Stop the murders of our children. CUBAN MOTHERS" is what the Poster above said. The mother second from the left wearing the white blouse and sunglasses was the mother of Little Willie Soler. Today in Havana a major Children's Hospital is named for Little Willie Soler. And, what you ask, was the reason for the child murders? Apparently it was to quell dissent. However, such extremes of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship both QUELLED and sustained the Cuban Revolution. But beyond all that, the two black-and-white photos depicted historically above are reminders of why...also against all odds...the two latest generations of Cuban mothers on the island have resisted a return of the Batista-Mafia brutality.

    The U.S.-Soviet Union "COLD WAR" is over. The legendary Cuban revolutionary icon Fidel Castro died at age 90 in Havana on November 25th, 2016. America's most popular President, John Kennedy, was murdered at age 43 in Dallas on November 22nd, 1963, and he was a notable victim of the "COLD WAR." Moreover, John Kennedy was the most notable victim of the U.S.-backed 1952-1959 Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba AND, truth be known, John Kennedy was the most notable victim of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship's resurgence 1959-2019 on U. S. soil.

1950's U.S.-backed dictator in Cuba.

A part of USA-Cuban history.

Dictator of 2019 U.S. Cuban policies?

But this flag still waves in little Cuba.

USA's continuous SHAME!!

The GREATEST Cuba Story

And The Movie About It!!
{Monday, April 22nd, 2019}

    At age 63 Peter Kornbluh is the world renowned Cuban expert at the National Security Archive in Washington. He also knows more about Fidel Castro than any American has ever known. In the May/June edition of Politico Magazine his article entitled "My Dearest Fidel" consumed that whole magazine and EVERYONE who read it. Kornbluh detailed a scorchingly true Fidel Castro love affair with a gorgeous U. S. journalist that literally turned Cuban and American history upside-down...figuring prominently in such epic events as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. One person who read that Peter Kornbluh article and was verily mesmerized by it turned out to be a powerful young Hollywood actress who quickly acquired powerful producers to turn "My Dearest Fidel" into what figures to be a blockbuster  Hollywood movie.

 This illustration by Christina Couceiro prefaced the Peter Kornbluh article in Politico Magazine that is now becoming a movie about one of history's most monumental and bittersweet love affairs -- the one between Fidel Castro and Lisa Howard.

     The powerful young actress still captivated by the Fidel Castro-Lisa Howard love affair is Gal Gadot. She is co-producing and starring in the movie. She is shown above with Sue Kroll who, along with her partner Jaron Varsano, have plenty of talent and enough money to make any movie they choose, and they too are mesmerized by the precise Peter Kornbluh documentation of the Fidel-Lisa nexus that changed history and surely galvanized a defining moment in U.S.-Cuban history that has reached heights far beyond any normal scope of an island nation. Gal Gadot, by the way, is the former Miss Israel and her Hollywood stardom includes the title role in the blockbuster Wonder Woman.

    The 1,000 Kennedy days in the White House and his assassination in Dallas at age 43 on Nov. 22, 1963, have been chronicled endlessly. That includes a vast myriad of conspiracy theories as well as great books such as this one by Pulitzer-prize winning author Anthony Summers.

  But no one has matched Peter Kornbluh's most pertinent details leading up to the murder of JFK in Dallas or the death...suicide or murder?...of Lisa Howard at age 39 on July 4th, 1965, in New York. Those intimate details documented by Peter Kornbluh in that Politico Magazine article is precisely the material that will make the upcoming movie not only unforgettable but also very important, I think.

  The beautiful and talented Lisa Howard starred in Hollywood movies and then had a leading continuous role on the popular television Soap Opera "The Edge of Night." But she wanted to be a news reporter and, starting on network radio, she became a good one. After gaining some national scoops she was hired by ABC-News in 1957 when, along with NBC and CBS they were the three networks in the USA. At ABC Lisa quickly gained more scoops, including a notable interview with Nikita Khrushchev, the dictator of the Soviet Union. As it turned out, Lisa -- the actress-turn-newscaster -- was mostly fascinated with the Cuban Revolution that had shocked the world on Jan. 1-1959 by overthrowing the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship on the island of Cuba, and then backed it up by further shocking the world by defending off the U.S.-Batistiano-Mafiosi Bay of Pigs attack in April of 1961.

    But most of all, -- not unlike many Hollywood actresses including Rita Hayworth, Maureen O'Hara, etc. -- Lisa Howard became enchanted with the new world-renowned Cuban rebel Fidel Castro. Soon, his enchantment with her would be mutual and rock the world.

    After rising to become a star anchor at ABC News, Lisa Howard had her journalistic excuse to meet Fidel Castro on the exotic island that had become his. The journalism quickly turned into passion. Intimate Lisa-Fidel photos like the ones above were taken by the great photographer Elliott Erwitt/Magnum. Mr. Erwitt is now 90-years-old and lives in Paris, France.

   Thanks to Peter Kornbluh's diligence, we have access to both CIA documents and Lisa Howard's own written accounts of torrid journalistic meetings as well as hot private meetings between Lisa and Fidel. The document on the left above is one that the CIA marked as Read by POTUS, meaning President Kennedy, and dated May 1, 1963. The typed letters on the right above were the first two pages of a 4-page letter that Lisa wrote to "My Dearest Fidel." While having a torrid love affair with Fidel, Lisa also had two hugely popular ABC News interviews with the Cuban leader. But it is in her letters and notes  that she revealed intimate details: "We talked and lay on the bed...he kissed and caressed me, expertly with restrained passion..." "He talked about wanting to have me but would not undress or go all the way..." Later, in her own words, she said he did, and did so "expertly." In another letter uncovered by Kornbluh, Lisa wrote: "But we did get to bed and he made love to me quite expertly and it was, of course, thrilling and ecstatic...as much as anything I have ever experienced."

    In her ABC-TV interviews with Fidel, Lisa asked some tough questions but it was obvious that both of them were probing...testing the waters...to ascertain if it was possible to normalize relations with the U. S. even as Fidel tightened his relationship with the only other nuclear Superpower, the Soviet Union. So Lisa understood Fidel's herculean defense against the U. S. at the Bay of Pigs in April of 1961 and even tacitly comprehended the Cuban Missile Crisis in October of 1962. Lisa believed...that if the nearby nuclear Superpower wanted to annihilate Revolutionary Cuba, Fidel was at least somewhat justified in seeking help from the only other nuclear Superpower even if it was the faraway Soviet Union. In her nationally televised interviews with Fidel, and in writings, speeches, and interviews she gave apart from them, Lisa stressed that Fidel mostly wanted friendly trade relations with the United States. Many inside the U. S. government responded positively but it infuriated vicious Cuban exiles and their sycophants.

   Meanwhile, both as a star journalist and as a lover, Lisa and Fidel tried desperately to be together as privately as possible but found that almost impossible because of his fame and notoriety, not to mention the security that surrounded history's all-time greatest survivor BY FAR of assassination attempts by three very competent assassins -- the CIA, the Mafia, and the Cuban exiles.

   Even a semi-private stroll like this with Lisa frightened Fidel's security detail. In her now revealed writings, Lisa said Fidel longed for being able to "spend endless hours just talking with me." And she added these definitive and exact two sentences in a letter to him: "You are right, Fidel. Our intellectual relationship is the essential one. Though the other one is rather pleasant too, the frosting on the cake."

     Meanwhile, these two photos reveal...apart from loving both Fidel and the Cuban Revolution...Lisa had become a massively controversial celebrity for trying to broker normal relations between the U. S. and Cuba. She won over some very important Americans, notably President Kennedy that Lisa is shown with in the above photo on the left. And Lisa had the support of the legendary rebel Che Guevara who is shown above on the right in Lisa's Manhattan apartment where she also entertained powerful U. S. pro-Cuban politicians such as Eugene McCarthy. Of course, Lisa's mounting notoriety gained her massive enemies too...assassins included.

      But, of course, Lisa's attempts to be intimate with Fidel were often thwarted because of who he was, and that included desired rendezvous sessions in Cuba and in New York when he visited the UN. Even attired in a huge coat in a car or briefly on a street heading to a car, Fidel encountered hordes of fans or reporters, so even a somewhat private meeting with Lisa in a field next to a stockyard became a little success.

Almost alone in a crowd -- Fidel & Lisa.

Nearly alone in a corner -- Lisa & Fidel.

     The televised Lisa interviews with Fidel reportedly impressed President John Kennedy but Lisa kept getting insider tips that she was "grossly irking a powerful man" and that was Vice President Lyndon Johnson.

     Lisa Howard became very afraid of Vice President Lyndon Johnson, based on the insider tips. Lisa had developed a close relationship with President John Kennedy and she believed that the older LBJ, as well as some vicious people around him, craved the Presidency but was blocked for the next six years by the younger and popular JFK.

     Still, as this graphic indicates, Lisa had become the absolute intermediary between her lover Fidel Castro and U. S. President John Kennedy. In early November of 1963, directly as a result of the incredible work Lisa had done, President Kennedy told his closer friends and advisers -- Kenneth O'Donnell, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Ted Sorensen, and Pierre Salinger -- that as soon as he got back from a 3-city political trip, the last being to Dallas, they would all work to NORMALIZE relations with Cuba as their "top priority." Lisa, when she got that message, was elated, to put it mildly. However, there were some who took the exact opposite view.

    On Nov. 22nd, 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Conspiracy theories abound to this day. Did his plan to normalize relations with Cuba predicate the murder? That is debatable but one thing is known: Regardless of who or what group finalized the assassination, Kennedy's normalization plans relating to Cuba emboldened assassination attempts against him.

    Two people distraught over the assassination of President Kennedy were Lisa Howard and Fidel Castro. Fidel had lost his chance to have much-needed normal trade relations with the United States. To her credit, Lisa continued valiantly to promote the normalization of relations between Cuba and the United States. But now the U. S. President was...Lyndon Johnson. It was LBJ who personally pressured ABC News to fire Lisa...and prevent her from getting another network job in television news.

    On July 4th, 1965, while vacationing in the Hamptons, the 39-year-old Lisa Howard's body was found beside a stream. It was ruled a suicide...an overdose. Whether it was suicide or murder, one thing is certain: Lisa Howard died because of the incomparable passion she had to normalize relations between Cuba and the United States, something she likely would have accomplished if President Kennedy had returned from Dallas alive on Nov. 22nd, 1963. IF his first term would have ended normally, his reelection was a given, giving him time to cement his normalization plans with Cuba.

    Of course, both Kennedy brothers were assassinated -- John in Dallas in 1963 while he was President and Robert in Los Angeles in 1968 while he was running for President. Early on, many blamed JFK's murder on Fidel Castro as retribution for the numerous assassination attempts on Fidel's life. But as the powerful Attorney General who would leave no stones unturned, Robert Kennedy had quickly absolved Fidel who also quickly provided pertinent information in Havana to U. S. investigators. Later, it is worth noting, both John F. Kennedy Jr. and Robert Kennedy Jr. made separate visits as adults to Havana to be cordially hosted by their friend, Fidel Castro himself.

    And that brings us back around to the Gal Gadot-Sue Kroll movie that is being made with the title "My Dearest Fidel." Based on the great Peter Kornbluh's meticulous research, the torrid, historic, and bittersweet love affair between Lisa Howard and Fidel Castro richly deserves an honest cinematic telling.

A Testament to Greed

With A Dose Of Revenge!!

{The USA's Cuban Cocktail}
{Saturday, April 20th, 2019}

     This photo in Miami/Coral Gables {April 17th, 2019}, courtesy of Politico, is a testament to #1 greed and #2 revenge, two staples within the bowels of the U. S. democracy since 1952, when the USA partnered with the Mafia in Batista's Cuba, and since 1959 when the Cuban Revolution chased the Batistianos-Mafiosi to U. S. soil, with Little Havana their new capital in Miami. Above,  that's John Bolton speaking on behalf of the weakened U. S. democracy in front of the Brigada Asalto 2506 banner, the battle-flag for the CIA/Batistiano attackers that humiliated the USA and Democracy way back in mid-April of 1961. In mid-April of 2019, it still humiliates the USA and Democracy.

     When a John Bolton, speaking on behalf of the President of the United States...in this case Donald Trump...can continue to insult and punish innocent Cubans on their island as well as most Americans and most Cuban-Americans, then perhaps the USA is in more trouble than the Caribbean's largest island. Most Cuban-Americans are decent U. S. citizens and they are responsible for sending several billion dollars worth of help to Cubans on the island each year. But, with a renewed all-out effort to starve Cubans on the island, the war-mongered Bolton greatly assaulted even that remaining freedom for Cuban Americans. Back on Friday, Bolton had gleefully presaged his Miami speech with a Tweet that saluted "the Bay of Pigs survivors" in Miami as if there were thousands. There are merely a handful because the lamentable Bay of Pigs attack was six decades ago. But whatever words Republican officials parrot, Americans are commanded to accept them. One such pathetic line from Bolton was this one: "In no uncertain terms, the Obama administration's policies toward Cuba have enabled the Cuban colonization of Venezuela today." Americans are programmed to believe such absurdity when it relates to post-Batista Cuba. Cuba is a besieged island nation with 11 million targeted and embargoed souls. Venezuela is currently being contested by three huge nuclear Superpowers -- the U. S. with 326 million people against China and Russia with a total exceeding 1.5 billion people. While Bolton is very afraid of the soldiers and military equipment Russia and China now have in Venezuela, he has the temerity and the audacity to accuse Cuba, for the USA's and Little Havana's benefit, as being the COLONIAL POWER IN VENEZUELA. And you know what? The implication from Bolton for Americans and Cuban-Americans is this: YOU BELIEVE WHAT I SAY ABOUT CUBA...or else!!! And so, we either put our tales between our legs and sleek away or we stand and say, "OK, Mr. Bolton, sir...what else?"

      Prior to Bolton's embarrassing foray to Miami this week, America's Commander-in-Chief himself, President Trump, had geneflected the U. S. democracy to the denizens in Little Havana. In this photo they included Rick Scott who just completed his tenure as Florida's governor and then got elected to the U. S. Senate from Florida. Scott is an absurdly vicious anti-Cuban Counter Revolutionary and, typical of Jeb Bush, Scott arrived in Florida from a distant state well-knowing how to make it in Florida politics -- by casting his lot with the most extremists Cuban exiles. Also in the above photo looking directly down over Trump's head is Mario Diaz-Balart, the son of a former ultra-rich Batista Minister. Mario and/or his older Havana-born brother Lincoln Diaz-Balart have represented Little Havana in the U. S. Congress for two decades. Americans are not supposed to know little tidbits like that...or else they might realize how Congressional laws such as the Helms-Burton Act, the Torricelli Bill, etc., etc. so drastically enrich and empower certain Cuban-Americans while unmercifully punishing innocent Cubans.

      The New York Times had another Editorial this week about Cuba and it again revealed what everyone knows, which is that little Marco Rubio from Little Havana has been designated by President Trump as the USA's new Cuban dictator. This New York Times Editorial assaulted Rubio for dictating that the sane U.S.-Cuban baseball deal would be blocked, meaning it will now only benefit human traffickers and Little Havana extremists. A democracy that allows a lightweight like Rubio to dictate such things is not the democracy it was prior to 1959. In the photo above, Rubio is shown making a Counter Revolutionary Cuban speech at the plush Manuel Artime Theater in Little Havana. Manuel Artime was one of the leaders of the Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba in mid-April of 1961. To this day, in mid-April of 2019, Americans and their tax dollars are supposed to herald the historic Bay of Pigs attack as a monumental event in American history. And as long as a Republican president can anoint a Marco Rubio as America's Cuban dictator on U. S. soil, that's precisely the propaganda Americans will be forced to accept and to pay for.

     When Republican Donald Trump was incredibly elected President of the United States because the other political party, the Democrats, had tilted too far to the extreme left, Johana Tablada was serving as Cuba's Ambassador to Portugal. She was then called back to Havana to serve as Deputy Director of all things related to the United States because Cuba knew that Trump would reverse the positive normalization efforts of outgoing President Barack Obama. In official statements, at news conferences, on YouTube, and on social media, Johana Tablada is now an eloquent spokesperson for Cuba in either Spanish or English. On her Twitter page, as you can check, she expressed these exact words regarding John Bolton's assault on Cuba in his Miami speech yesterday: "Before they try to  euphorically ride a wave of wickedness and lies, they should themselves take a dose of reality. The world has told John Bolton and the U. S. government to eliminate the Helms-Burton Act and the criminal blockade of Cuba."

    Above, posted by Johana Tablada, is an official Cuban statement regarding John Bolton's unequivocal vows to eviscerate/own Cuba once and all. The statement, translated to English, says: "The United States establishes that all foreign territory is its own land, including that of its most unconditional allies, and it does so with a cocktail of lies, abuse of power, greed, and arrogance. For a change."

     On an NBC News and YouTube video Johana Tablada discussed President Trump and the grip that the Brigada Asalto 2506 Bay of Pigs Banner has had on all Republican administrations in the USA since mid-April of 1961. Ms. Tablada, in that discussion, was astute enough to equate that grip on Republicans as a "vice-like grip on its democracy." Americans, I believe, should be brave enough to at least offer opinions as to whether Johana Tablada is right or wrong.

This was Johana Tablada's opinion.
