The island of Cuba has long been a goldmine for baseball talent, like this current brilliant lefthander Alexis Rivero. But because since 1959 Miami/Little Havana Counter Revolutionary extremists have been able to virtually dictate America's Cuban policies to sate their revenge, economic, and political motives, Cuban baseball players have faced unique obstacles trying to reach the lucrative USA Major Leagues. They have had to defect to third countries and often be at the mercy of unscrupulous human traffickers. While many, many Cubans thrive in the Majors today, only Cubans are subject to the whims of often violent human traffickers who want a lion's share of the upfront bonuses and guaranteed salaries. Boston once signed a Cuban outfielder with a $72 million guaranteed bonus and he turned out to not be of Major League caliber, for example, but every penny was guaranteed. Earlier this year Major League baseball worked out a deal with Cuba's highly regarded pro league to avoid the goldmines for human traffickers and the torturous travails unique to Cuban players because...LONG AGO the Cuban Revolution overthrew the vile U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship. All decent Cubans and Americans hailed the recent baseball agreement...but guess what? The Trump administration, totally at the mercy of Little Havana extremists like Senator Marco Rubio, blocked the deal...in other words, as with most of the USA's Cuban policies, the idiotic baseball blockage helped devious operatives such as the human traffickers and hurt everyone else. But such extreme Rubio-induced cruelty and insanity apparently has induced even the Batistiano/Little Havana-directed Trump to begin having second thoughts about allowing self-serving extremists to dictate all of America's insanely stupid and cruel Cuban policies. I'll explain.
The Commissioner of Major League Baseball is Rob Manfred and it was he who negotiated the deal with Cuba to the dismay of the human traffickers and the profiteering illicit agents. Being a decent and sane man, Mr. Manfred was appalled when Rubio induced Trump to block the baseball agreement that everyone except a few self-serving extremists applauded.
Lo 'n behold, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has just heard DIRECTLY face-to-face from President Trump. Now, apparently OVER-RULING Rubio's cruel insanity at least this one time, Trump offered Manfred a deal: Hey, Commissioner, if you promise to help me in persuading Cuba to stop supporting the Maduro regime in Venezuela, I'll reconsider blocking your agreement regarding Cuban baseball players. WOW!! I'LL BE DAMNED!! The Batistiano/Little Havana-directed President of the United States, Trump, has veered away from Rubio's cruel insanity and actually offered a compromise deal to Major League Baseball's boss Rob Manfred. AMAZING!!
Now please take a moment and digest Trump's reconstituted baseball offer that will surely AND GREATLY please everyone except the human traffickers and...Little Havana heavyweights such as the startled Rubio, the sad-faced Diaz-Balart brothers, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. HECK!! I'm more surprised than they are. Just think: A Republican President, Trump, has...just slightly...veered away from the Cuban dictates of the Little Havana stalwarts. Trump's anointment of Little Marco Rubio as the USA's Cuban dictator supposedly was based on Trump's belief that the Little Havana extremists in Miami could deliver to him ALL 29 of Florida's electoral votes heading into his 2020 re-election bid. If Trump's reconsidered baseball offer is a hint that some Trump loyalists are advising their boss against total capitulation to the Little Havana extremists, it might be a precursor to a few more Trumpion deviations from absolute Little Havana dictation on Cuban matters. But don't count on it. Here's why:
Hiding behind the Superpower skirts of the USA with a Republican in the White House, Rubio has pointed a direct regime-change guarantee at Cuba's new President Miguel Diaz-Canel. In a DIRECT TWEET Rubio sent Diaz-Canel this three-word warning: "See you soon" in Spanish. The Tweet was sent by Rubio months ago {February} when Rubio was convinced his regime-change in Venezuela was imminent and his "See you soon" warning to Diaz-Canel meant "You are next." On his ubiquitous Twitter account, Rubio has also emblazoned the bloody Gaddafi images to remind the Rubio/Bolton-directed regime-changes in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua can have or will have a Gaddafi-like ending for those three current leaders -- Diaz-Canel, Maduro, and Ortega.
*&***********************&*
Above is Marco Rubio's "See you soon" Tweet to Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel. In the lower-left corner you can see it was sent at 5:06 PM on Feb. 23rd, 2019. The "Te vemos pronto" from Spanish to English is "See you soon."
The very next day, as you can see above, Rubio Tweeted the very insensitive images of Libya's Gaddafi to remind the leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua that they can expect a USA-Trump-Bolton "Libya model ENDING." Of course, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan regime-changes are important to Rubio only because those two nations are tightly allied with Cuba.
President Miguel Diaz-Canel in Cuba vs. Senator Marco Rubio in the USA on the surface appears to be a very uneven fight with a Republican in the White House. Yet, Diaz-Canel believes he has an edge because he feels he is supported by most Cubans while Counter Revolutionary extremists like Rubio, according to Diaz-Canel, are "not supported by very many Americans or even very many Cuban-Americans, and Rubio is supposed to be in a two-party democratic system."
Indeed, by all indications on the island, President Diaz-Canel is strongly supported by most Cubans, and they know him well as the island's former Education Minister.
And like Rubio and Trump, President Miguel Diaz-Canel has a strong presence on Twitter. In fact, Diaz-Canel has worked closely with his friends at Google and other digital powers to make the Internet and Social Media available to Cubans all across the island.
Cuba actually has very strong and sophisticated television and radio operations. The photo above shows President Diaz-Canel on the powerful "Round Table" prime-time television program. He appears often in media forums and he has ordered Cuban Ministers to do the same so they "can directly inform the people what you are doing on their behalf or what you are not doing for them."
There is no indication that Cuba's post-Revolutionary President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, has been afraid of the direct threats hurled at him by Rubio and Bolton from the nearby USA superpower. In the quote above responding to a Rubio Tweet that infuriated him, Diaz-Canel was insisting that...nothing can destroy a revolution that is supported by the Cuban people {"...pueblo cubana"} In other words, he doesn't expect Rubio and Bolton to convince even Donald Trump to nuke Cuba...or even attempt another Bay of Pigs attack on the island ala the 1961 debacle.
This recent photo illustrates why right-wing COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY forces in the Superpower USA are still having a lot of trouble, 6+ decades later, recapturing the island of Cuba. There have always been enough Cubans on the island since 1959 willing to fight to the death to defend the Revolution. And the Counter Revolutionary zealots, many of them living in mansions and riding high-on-the-hog as politicians because of their money and their convenient economic and political alliances with the Republican Party financial pipelines, are much too well known as extremely biased and greedy Counter Revolutionaries...yes, the epitome of extremists. The photo above chronicles a continuation of that excess stupidity. It shows Marco Rubio in command as the Trump-anointed USA Cuban dictator and just to his left is co-dictator Mario Diaz-Balart. Arguably the best investigative journalist in Washington, Ken Silverstein, has penned the definitive bio of Rubio and it begins with this sentence: "Marco Rubio is head and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery." Of course, if you're from Miami or Newark, your Congressional incumbencies are not hindered by such depictions. And as for Mario Diaz-Balart, like Rubio he is a Little Havana superstar and his father Rafael was a key Minister in the Batista dictatorship before fleeing to Miami in 1959 and having plenty of resources to start the White Rose, the first paramilitary unit designed to recapture Cuba from U. S. soil. Such money and power directly from Batista's Cuba quickly overwhelmed and reshaped Miami in 1959 and in mid-2019 that remains the situation. As Trump's USA Cuban dictators, Marco and Mario were a bit too bold when all of a sudden anti-Cuban extreme war-mongers like Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, and Mauricio Claver-Carone quickly took over leadership of the four most important positions in the U. S. government positioned to make war or other mischief on smaller nations -- namely CUBA first and foremost. In other words, the photo above highlights Marco and Mario as the most biased Counter Revolutionary operatives from Little Havana in Miami. If Trump had been smart enough to, in their place, or in the place of Pompeo, Bolton, Abrams, and Claver-Carone, to have installed somewhat lesser zealots to oversee the regime changes in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, the world's economic and military superpower, especially with a Republican as President and Commander-in-Chief, might ALREADY have executed its imperial dominance over Cuba as well as Cuba's main Latin American allies. But Marco and Mario...even with Pompeo, Bolton, Abrams, and Claver-Carone in those powerfully strategic places...likely won't recapture Cuba and, by trying, they MIGHT ignite a long-standing Latin American war or several nearby REVOLUTIONS that the USA doesn't need.
Let's see? Trump is 2.5 years into his 4-year Presidency that, incredibly, was gifted to him by an extreme left-wing tilt of both the Democratic Party and the mainstream U. S. media. The photo above showed that Trump's presidency from the outset was controlled by Little Havana Counter Revolutionary zealots in Miami. Trump and his minions are not at all embarrassed by racing to Miami and making obscene promises while standing in front of the BRIGADA ASALTO 2506 banner, and that's the battle flag for the 1961 Cuban exile-CIA-USA attack on Cuba known as the Bay of Pigs, which turned out to be somewhat humiliating for everyone except for Castro and his Revolutionary rebels. So as you ponder the photo above, consider this: Does Trump -- who openly confesses his "love" for the likes of Summit Friend Kim in North Korea -- have a chance for re-election in 2020? Yes, he does. The Democratic Party and the Mainstream USA Media are more left-wing extremists heading into 2020 than they were heading into 2016. So please: Say a prayer for totally innocent Cubans on their vulnerable island but also don't forget to say another prayer for America's TWO-PARTY Democracy -- one controlled by Batistianos in Miami and Newark and the other one controlled by left-wing zealots in New York and California. {Make the PRAYERS heartfelt to help 11.4 million Cubans and 325 million Americans}.
