Trump Hates ALL Cubans

And Not Just Cubans In Cuba!!

     This weekend in mid-August of 2019 the Website On Cuba News used the photo of a Cuban passport to illustrate an article that indicates that U. S. President Trump hates Cubans in the U. S. as well as Cubans on the island. It said: "For the first time since it was promulgated in 1966, the Trump administration has touched the great migratory benefit the Cubans have to settle in the United States." Since the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959 overthrew the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship on the island, the U. S. effort to recapture Cuba included special rules and laws designed to entice all Cubans to the U. S., not just the ultra-rich Batista-Mafia leaders who fled back to the U. S. beginning at 3:00 A. M. on January 1, 1959. Thus, for decades Cubans who reached U. S. soil were given lush and quick rewards unavailable to all other immigrants via such things as The Cuba Adjustment Act, the Wet Foot-Dry Foot debacle, etc. Now the aforementioned article said: "But since this Wednesday {August 14, 2019} the rules have changed a bit and affect the children of Cubans born outside the island. According to a statement by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service, from now on the children of Cubans born abroad need a valid Cuban passport or a citizenship letter..." It doesn't sound like a gigantic change but it is a change from the decades-old advantages Cuban migrants have enjoyed over all others. The article quoted Jorge Duany, a Cuban expert at Florida International University, as saying the change reflects "a policy to reduce visas for Cubans."

     The Cuban-born Arturo Lopez-Levy, who has taught at multiple prestigious American universities, said: "It is confirmation that there is a political gap between the migration visas of the Trump administration and its Cuban privileges. It is impossible to believe that an anti-immigrant administration would overlook the privileges of Cubans."

      It is well known in Miami and Washington that Miami's U. S. Senator Marco Rubio and U. S. President Donald Trump don't like each other. But Trump likes and needs Florida's 29 Electoral Votes if he hopes to get re-elected in 2020. For that reason Trump has anointed Rubio as America's Cuban dictator on U. S. soil.

    Thus, taking advantage of the dire political and economic situation in Venezuela, Cuba's closest ally, the USA's Cuban dictator Marco Rubio has carte blanche clearance to use America's superpower assets to orchestrate regime-changes in both Venezuela and Cuba, which has been an ongoing Rubio project, particularly since January of this year. Afraid of military powers Russia and China, who also have interests in Venezuela and Cuba, Rubio's prime tactic is to enact starvation-genocidal U. S. sanctions against both Venezuela and Cuba, and that recently included the activation of Title 3 of the Helms-Burton Act that is SO GENOCIDAL against everyday Cubans on the island that NOT EVEN the Batistiano-aligned George W. Bush presidency would enact it. Greatly assisting Rubio in his genocidal assaults on the Cuban people is the fact that even the left-wing mainstream U. S. media, which is obsessed with impeaching Trump, is too afraid to challenge Rubio and his Little Havana mentors even about the activation of Title 3, which clearly has starvation-genocidal overtones against everyday people in a much weaker nation...overtones that only Cuban extremists in the United States would be allowed to associate with the United States of America and its long-renowned Democracy.

     Yes, this weekend's aforementioned On Cuban News article reemphasizes perhaps the most insidious but least publicized weakness in today's United States' Democracy -- a Cuba-in-Exile government headquartered in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood and now led by U. S. Congressmen Vice Dictator Mario Diaz-Balart and Dictator Marco Rubio. Yes, the On Cuban News article this weekend mentioned that it had asked Diaz-Balart and Rubio about the Trump administration's changing the privileged entries of Cubans to the U. S., and neither Diaz-Balart nor Rubio responded to the inquiry. Yet, as long as a Republican is President, Diaz-Balart and Rubio will be allowed to dictate America's Cuban policies, which greatly enrich Cubans in the U. S. and greatly punish Cubans in Cuba. Meanwhile, not even the mainstream left-wing U. S. news media that is obsessed with getting rid of Trump will dare mention that Mario Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart, a former key Minister in the ousted Batista dictatorship; NOR dare mention that a major article by Washington's best investigative journalist {Ken Silverstein} depicts Marco Rubio as "head and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it comes to chicanery, dishonesty, and corruption." In other words, having U.S.-Cuban relations in the hands of Diaz-Balart and Rubio IS BAD NEWS FOR EVERYDAY CUBANS ON THE ISLAND BUT EVEN WORSE NEWS, I believe, FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Trump's Anti-Cuban Thugs

ARE THEY.....

A BIGGER THREAT to Cuba or to the USA??

     Considering the propaganda-fueled state of the pundit-driven mainstream media in the United States, the two best and fairest sources for honest news reports on important United States issues are the London-based BBC World News and the worldwide, U.S. tax-backed Voice of America. Thankfully, both of those sources are readily available. The first thing I check on the Internet or Cable TV each day is BBC World News and then I hasten to my Email where I subscribe to VOA, which each day sends me a list of its Top Stories...giving me a chance to punch-up any or all of them. For example, this week -- August 14th, 2019 -- one of the top VOA reports included a 25-minute video interview with John Bolton, President Trump's National Security Adviser. Every single one of Trump's TOP TEN advisers on foreign policy are vehement anti-Cuban zealots chomping at the bits for a long-desired regime-change on the island...a vicious brigade led by Bolton, Washington's most famed imperialist war-monger, but also including the likes of Mike Pompeo, Elliott Abrams, Mauricio Claver-Carone, etc., etc. {All of whom have been hand-picked or heartily endorsed by Little Havana zealots}. Bolton as a top adviser to President George W. Bush famously concocted weird accusations trying to get the Little Havana-directed Bush to execute a Batistiano/Little Havana beloved regime-change in Cuba. But even President Bush refused Bolton's overtures. However, with Trump needing Florida's 29 Electoral Votes for his possible re-election, Bolton believes Trump will afford him the chance to AT LAST recapture Revolutionary Cuba, which chased the Batista-Mafia leaders out of Havana on Jan. 1-1959 only to see them arise as Republica Party giants in their new, nearby capital of Little Havana in Miami, USA. Bolton currently thinks that blaming Cuba for blocking the U. S.'s desired regime-change in troubled Venezuela {from Cuba-friendly Nicolas Maduro to U.S.-friendly Juan Guaido} is the excuse for the U. S. to finally annihilate Revolutionary Cuba. In the above VOA August 14-2019 interview, hosted by Greta Van Susteren, here are Bolton's exact words:

           "You know opposition outsiders estimate there are 20,000 to 25,000 Cubans in Venezuela. They're really paramilitary and military functionaries. They may not wear uniforms but they're there not simply to support the Maduro regime, but to run it. And I would make this prediction: if those 20,000 to 25,000 Cubans were home at noon today, by midnight Maduro would no longer be in power. So if you're a Venezuelan you should be asking yourself why is our country going through all this turmoil to help support Cuba."

       So, as voiced on the worldwide Voice of America this week, the exact words above by John Bolton represent the current pretext, or excuse, for President Trump to replace Havana's long-standing revolutionary government with Little Havana's LONG-impatient Batistiano exiles who have been LONG headquartered in Miami's Little Havana but now also are extreme Republican forces in Washington. I believe viewers and readers of good U.S.-based journalism...such as that provided by the BBC and the VOA...are the ones whose views are most important. Therefore, while Bolton displays wild-eyed belligerence and irrational war-mongering when discussing little Cuba he can be very calm, rational, and diplomatic when talking about, for example, BIG CHINA'S problems related to the ongoing Hong Kong demonstrations, as you can see in this short clip from the VOA interview:

     Now if you go to the VOA website and dail-up the entire John Bolton interview, you will also see his irrational vehemence against Little Cuba before he spoke calmly and diplomatically about BIG China. The VOA provides the entire 25-minute interview as well as a complete written transcript, so you can double-check that I quoted John Bolton correctly regarding Cuba on the Voice of America this week. You will note that he also called Cuba a "surrogate" of Russia and China pertaining to Cuba's over-sized influence in Venezuela and the rest of Latin America. Of course, being America's most renowned war-monger, Bolton is not afraid of little Cuba but, with good reason, he is direly afraid of BIG RUSSIA AND CHINA. {SO...UH...LET'S GO TO WAR WITH LITTLE CUBA AND, UH, HOPE RUSSIA AND CHINA WILL...you, uh, uh, know...UNDERSTAND}.

Does Cuba Control Venezuela?

How True Is U. S. Claim?
{UPDATED: Thursday, August 15, 2019}

     Since January of this year, the Trump administration has told the American people and the world that its excuse for directing starvation tactics against Cuba, which many feel is genocide against the Cuban people, is because the little Caribbean island controls and owns the large Latin American nation of Venezuela, where the U. S. has demanded a regime-change since January, 2019. This week -- on August 13, 2019 -- Gzero Media subscribed to that theory with this interview featuring Moises Naim, a journalist and the former editor of Foreign Policy Magazine:

    The above video has interesting and provocative comments from journalist Moises Naim about little Cuba controlling big Venezuela while the three world Superpowers -- the U. S., China, and Russia -- are also concerning themselves with turning Venezuela's vast problems into their own assets. I invite you to punch the arrow above and listen to Naim's words about how SUPER POWERFUL poor little sanctioned-embargoed-blockaded Cuba really is, powerful enough to overwhelm the combined might of the U.S., Russia, and China in Venezuela.

     The Bush dynasty's anointment of Cuba-born Counter Revolutionary zealot Jorge Mas Canosa as America's Cuban dictator back in the 1980s essentially created a new government-in-exile on U. S. soil. It also, of course, created Miami billionaires like Canosa as well as an ongoing cacophony of Cuban-American multi-millionaires.

     With its own Little Havana-based government on U. S. soil and with dominance of both the Bush dynasty and the Republican Party, Little Havana since the 1980s has been able to legalize its own lucrative and punitive Cubans laws.

     In 1996 even a scared Democratic President, Bill Clinton, was usurped into signing the infamous and unending Helms-Burton Act, which has created an unending set of punitive attacks against Cubans on the island while incredibly enriching  and empowering selected Cubans in Miami and Newark.

     The Bush dynasty during the two-term George W. Bush presidency sharply continued the extreme enrichment and empowerful of Counter Revolutionary Cubans as well as their right-wing sycophants such as John Bolton. Shortly after the above handshake with President Bush, Bolton famously concocted schemes trying to induce Bush by 2002 to execute a regime-change in Cuba...while other right-wingers begged Bush to activate Title 3 of Helms-Burton. But Bush refused to militarily attack Cuba and Bush believed that Title 3 should not be activated because of its extreme cruelty against Cubans on the island and because it would unfairly enrich Miami Cubans via unlimited lawsuits in U. S. courtrooms against companies and U.S.-friendly nations that may have done business with Cuba.

     But John Bolton and a plethora of other anti-Cuban extremists from the Bush dynasty have been appointed by President Trump to ultra-powerful positions. Bolton is now Trump's top National Security Adviser. That affords Bolton what he considers his golden opportunity to finally execute his regime-change in Cuba.

     Given the power and authorization by Trump, John Bolton was quick to declare war on Cuba. He made the unequivocal declaration in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood while standing before a huge Brigada Asalto 2506 flag. That was the Cuban exile/CIA battle flag during the April of 1961 air-land-and-sea Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba. Bolton promised the few still-living veterans of that ignominious defeat that he would avenge their humiliation.

      The Bolton Doctrine while he is Washington's most infamous war-monger includes pacifying Big Boys like Russia and China but using his "BIG STICK" to assault weaker and smaller nations, especially Cuba. Amazingly, during the Trump administration, John Bolton can run amok...arrogantly.

Trump's LIES About Cuba

The Lies Shame America
{UPDATED: Tuesday, August 13th, 2019}

      This is Juan Gonzalez. He is President of Cuba's state-run Corporation Cuba Run. Juan just proved that both England and France are willing to help Cuba defy the USA Trump administration's all-out effort to strangle the island's economy. Juan signed a deal with England's giant spirits company Diageo to sell Cuba's prized Santiago Cuba Rum. It's a BIG deal because Diageo made $14 billion last year and owns such worldwide brands as Johnny Walker. A French company, Pernard Ricard, already sells Havana Club Rum in an important partnership with Cuba. Regarding the new contract in England, Juan Gonzalez said, "We are grateful to England, which is our friend and also is America's friend, as it should be. Santiago Cuba Rum is an expression of Cuba's people and part of our culture."

       In the photo above a Cuban is pointing to a Royal Caribbean cruise ship leaving Havana Harbor on June 5-2019 as he and his friends discuss the latest genocidal assault by the USA's Trump administration on everyday, totally innocent Cubans who deserve the right to support their families. The day before -- on June 4-2019 -- the Trump administration, as a part of its starvation tactics, had blocked cruise ships from stopping off in Cuba. This photo illustrates this week's very best article updating the prime reason Trump and a handful of Cuban-American extremists should be held accountable for such genocide. The article appears in the Los Angeles Times and is written by Mimi Whitefield. It is entitled: "CUBA FEELS THE PINCH OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS."

         A long-time Latin American expert for the Miami Herald, Mimi Whitefield's aforementioned August 11-2019 article is also headlined in the Los Angeles Times. Trump's current genocide against everyday Cubans is to appease Counter Revolutionary extremists from Little Havana in Miami, such as Marco Rubio and the Diaz-Balart brothers, because Trump covets Florida's 29 Electoral Votes leading into his possible 2020 re-election. While most of the mainstream U. S. media, including the left-wing anti-Trump zealots, are too afraid of Little Havana to report fairly on Trump's most egregious sin...genocide against innocent Cubans...Mimi Whitefield, the Miami Herald, and the Los Angeles Times are among sources with more guts and integrity. In this article, which I encourage you to dial up and read in its entirety, Mimi Whitefield mocks every Trump lie regarding why he commits genocide against everyday Cubans. For example, Rosa Isabel Hernandez Pina, as Ms. Whitefield points out, is the typical Cuban being targeted by Trump and Little Havana. Thanks to the decency of President Obama prior to Trump's indecency, Rosa Isabel opened a thriving restaurant in picturesque Vinales Valley and she took pride in how its robust earnings provided for her family. Her main clients were tourists, many of them Americans, who arrived on cruise ships. The Royal Caribbean cruise ship shown above that left Havana on June 5th was the last one Cuba has seen because on June 4-2019 Trump, at the behest of Little Havana, activated Title 3 of the cruel Helms-Burton Act, something that Little Havana could not even persuade President George W. Bush to activate because of its extreme genocidal acts against innocent Cubans as well as its bullying demands against other nations to stop dealing with Cuba. Rosa Isabel and her children comprise the typical family targeted in Cuba by Trump and Little Havana.

     When Senator Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump say that the above conclusion is not so, they are lying.

      This photo shows a Cuban girl wrapped in a U. S. flag watching a cruise ship enter Havana Harbor back when the United States had a decent and brave President, Mr. Obama, who challenged Little Havana's long genocide against innocent Cubans like this girl.

     On his brave and historic visit to Cuba, President Obama promised the Cuban people on statewide television and radio that "Cuba does not need to fear a threat from the United States." Of course, the two-term Democratic President Obama, when he made that solemn promise on behalf of the American people, didn't anticipate he would be succeeded by another Republican President who takes his Cuban orders directly from Counter Revolutionary Cuban-American extremists.

      Cuba has renovated its capital building in Havana in time to celebrate this year's 500th anniversary of the island's official existence. Surely, one of the most shameful things about Rubio and Trump being allowed to commit genocide against innocent Cubans in the name of the United States of America is this stark fact: Most of the mainstream U. S. media and most of America's 323 million citizens simply don't have the guts to challenge Republican administrations or Little Havana even as they commit genocide against helpless people in a small nation. Yet, of course, those sanctimonious media cowards and those sanctimonious citizens are quick to condemn China or Russia or some other powerful nation for being perceived or even merely suspected of committing genocide against people in a much weaker nation.

      The infamous Helms-Burton Act in 1996 legalized cruelty against innocent Cubans on the island and also created extreme wealth in Miami's Little Havana corridor when it, as noted above, "STRENGTHENED THE U. S. BLOCKADE OF CUBA." That blockade, or economic embargo, has existed from 1962 till today -- AUGUST OF 2019.  Its genocidal dictates were activated on June 4th-2019 by the Rubio-dictated Trump administration, and it has been done with barely a whimper from the gutless mainstream media and the gutless U. S. citizenry. Prior to 1962, prior to 1996, and prior to June 4th-2019 the United States of America had the world's greatest Democracy. And that's why, in August of 2019, the Caribbean island of Cuba says a helluva lot more about the United States than it says about Cuba itself.

Getting To Know Cuba

Let Me TELL YOU How To!!
{Sunday, August 11th, 2019}

     The photo above was posted on Friday, August 9, 2019, atop the Facebook page of Tracey Eaton. He captioned it with this interesting sentence: "Check out the flights heading from Miami to Havana." YES, INDEED!! You should check out everything Tracey Eaton writes, says, or shows about U.S.-Cuba relations. He is, you see, BY FAR America's best and fairest journalistic expert when it comes to reporting on the tumultuous and important U.S.-Cuba conundrum, a relationship that says a whole lot about Cuba but even more about the superpower United States of America. With that photo above, Mr. Eaton is reminding us that the 90+-miles separating Havana in Cuba from Little Havana is Miami is not very far at all...even though a handful of Counter Revolutionaries in Little Havana with their tight grips around the throat of the Trump administration believe they can now starve 11.2 million Cubans on the island to pave the way for, at LONG LAST, their recapture of Cuba, which slipped away from them way back in 1959 when the long-shot Cuban Revolution overthrew the brutal U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship. Even while Little Havana stalwarts in Miami are trying to starve Cubans on the island into submission, as Mr. Eaton shows above, at any given time the commercial airplane flights from Miami to Cuba are both numerous and crowded. Count the flights ticketed "On Time" just at "5:34 P. M., Friday, August 9, 2019." I bet you didn't know that was happening...because since January of 1959 Little Havana has dictated the Cuban narrative in the U. S. and because it has recently and successfully dictated to President Trump Little Havana's desire to starve Cubans on the island by shutting off all imports and exports to-and-from the island.

            For sure, during any Republican administration in Washington Little Havana in Miami has had a noose around Cuba, which is the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island nation. Also, Cuba is probably the Caribbean nation with the most potential, economically and politically.

       Indeed, because Cuba has always...since 1492...been the Pearl of the Antilles, it has also been one of the world's most coveted island nations by imperialist powers -- especially Spain first of all but, since the 1898 Spanish-American War, by the United States. The U. S. domination of Cuba lasted from 1898 till 3:00 A. M. on January 1, 1959, when the Cuban Revolution chased the Batista-Mafia leaders to their new capital, Little Havana in Miami. For six-plus decades Little Havana, supported by the superpower USA, has tried every tactic in the imperialist book to recapture Cuba -- including the 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack; a record number of assassination attempts; terror bombings that included the civilian airplane Cubana Flight 455, killing all on board; car-bombings that settled internecine squabbles among Little Havana Counter Revolutionaries; a message-sending car-bombing that silenced Emilio Milian,  the bravest and most popular Cuban-American journalist who criticized Little Havana terrorism against innocent Cubans; etc., etc.

     From 1962 till today the U. S. has imposed history's all-time cruelest and longest economic embargo...a blockade...ever imposed by a powerful nation against a much weaker nation. But only the Trump administration, by activating Title 3 of the infamous Helms-Burton Act, has powered the word "genocide"/"genocidio" into being CORRECTLY applied to how the Little Havana-directed Trump administration is currently targeting Cubans on the island. And, folks, as a Democracy-loving American, I don't believe the word "genocide" should ever be attached to America's targeting of millions of innocent people in a small nation.

       Indeed, Little Havana and the Trump administration have teamed to add a skull and bones definition to the Helms-Burton Act that Little Havana rammed through the U. S. Congress "LEGALLY" and {supposedly} permanently in 1996. It since, first off, has created a plethora of Cuban-American millionaires and billionaires but...somehow...has failed to recapture Havana for Little Havana.

    Ensconced deep within the bowels of the U. S. democracy, Little Havana in Miami is able to dip deeply into the U. S. treasury {tax dollars} because, to be precisely honest, the mainstream U. S. media is too afraid to challenge or report fairly on the dictates of Little Havana USA. Sadly, that includes the ultra-rich-and-powerful left-wing media that is obsessed with impeaching and eliminating Trump -- a media that includes billionaire-backed enterprises such as NBC, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, the NY Times, and the Washington Post.

     And that brings us back around to PRECISELY WHY you should get to know Tracey Eaton, who published the photo this week atop his Facebook page about all those flights leaving Miami for Cuba. Mr. Eaton is BY FAR America's best expert on U.S.-Cuba relations. He has been stationed as a key journalist in Cuba; he is now a beloved journalism Professor in Florida; and in his long career he has never been accused by either side of being biased in favor of or opposed to either the U. S. or Cuba. He merely continues to report the facts and let others judge them. Just about every notable national and Florida news source -- from NBC News to USA Today to current Eaton articles in the Tampa Bay Times, etc, etc, etc. -- has depended on Mr. Eaton for the very best reporting on U.S.-Cuban issues.

       As America's greatest journalistic expert on U.S.-Cuba relations, Tracey Eaton recognizes that Little Havana's very intense and very successful greed for U. S. tax dollars is the fundamental goal that fuels the persistent Little Havana engine. Therefore, if you are not familiar with Mr. Eaton's must-read blog CUBA MONEY PROJECT.com then I am convinced you have no idea how huge is the steady pipeline of otherwise UNEXPLAINED tax dollars THAT FLOW EVERY SINGLE DAY FROM WASHINGTON TO MIAMI. In fifteen or so recent articles that originated on CUBA MONEY PROJECT.com, Mr. Eaton reveals RIGHT DOWN TO THE PENNY the millions or billions of tax dollars that have flowed and are flowing DAILY from Washington to the most controversial Little Havana projects and individuals in Miami. Mr. Eaton is precise regarding those uncontested figures because he is the one who gets his data from the reluctant U. S. government via the Freedom of Information Act and other pertinent and definitive sources. Indeed, both Democracy-lovers {like me} and Taxpayers {including you} should get to know Professor Tracey Eaton and his very valuable CUBA MONEY PROJECT.com blog.
