Cuba Eyes Regional Coups

Believes Miami Extremists Involved!!
     The graphic above is viewed by Cuba {and many others} as a template to carefully assess the ongoing coups and violent demonstrations currently roiling Latin American nations in the USA's backdoor, much closer than "more important"  nations like Ukraine, Israel, etc. Nations like Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, etc., along with U.S.-brokered right-wing governments in nations like Brazil and Ecuador, etc., are also considered directly related to Little Havana/Miami Cuban Counter Revolutionaries taking advantage of their grip on the Trump administration in Washington. Study the above graphic for yourself and start with the top five nations shown above...Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, and Bolivia...and then go down through all the others, ending with Peru and Brazil...but don't forget Nicaragua and Venezuela particularly. A recent right-wing coup in Bolivia recently chased President Evo Morales to exile in Mexico after he had spent 13 years as a staunch pro-Cuban ally, and he has been replaced by a violently anti-Cuban leadership...which is the trend in Latin America. But long-time pro-Cuban governments in Venezuela and Nicaragua for months have been also drastically targeted by Miami-USA anti-Cuban forces for regime-changes considered by Cuban Counter Revolutionaries in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress to be far more important than the regime-change that just happened in Bolivia. So, what foreign forces are lighting the fires creating all these right-wing/anti-Cuba coups and demonstrations in Latin America? Both pro-Cuban and anti-Cuban nations in Latin America believe, although many of them are too afraid to say so publicly, that a few U. S. Cubans doing the bidding of Little Havana extremists empowered by President Trump are fueling flames of the Latin American regime-changes as depicted above, and the ramifications will be long-lasting for unwilling U. S. taxpayers who are paying for it.
       For the most part in the U. S. media, Cuba and even Latin America remain on the backburner while the propaganda-obsessed mainstream American media has been saturated with impeaching Trump even though his democratic re-election is less than a year away. But media like the more honest London-based Reuters News, as shown above, reports on the significance of things such as Little Havana/anti-Cuban zealot Marco Rubio taking his anti-Cuba/regime change fireworks to the volatile Venezuela-Colombia border {above} where he tried to facilitate his Venezuela regime-change because eliminating pro-Cuban governments in Venezuela, Nicaragua, etc., such as the recent regime-change in Bolivia, remain top priorities of Little Havana and Marco Rubio and his cohorts who believe their recapture of Revolutionary Cuba will still occur while Trump is president.
      The confident Rubio has not only pointedly Tweeted threats at Cuban President Diaz-Canel {"See you soon"}, Rubio has also bragged about being responsible for causing power blackouts and food shortages on the island since persuading Trump to activate the genocidal aspects of Title 3 of Helms-Burton that even the Little Havana-aligned George W. Bush presidency considered too cruel to inflict on the Cuban people. Diaz-Canel has replied to Rubio with Tweets of his own and with numerous talks with Cubans across the island, including admonitions such as, "Rubio believes he can starve Cubans with Title 3 and he may also have Trump's authority to nuke this island, but the revolutionary fervor still remains in the hearts and souls of the vast majority of Cubans who are not in Little Havana. We will remain guerrilla warriors to the end even in this time that Rubio and Trump has Title 3, nukes, and other advantages."
      This photo was taken last Friday -- November 22nd, 2019. It shows a special demonstration marking the 45th anniversary of Cuba's elite first-line Antonio Maceo Brigade. The Cuba-related maelstroms taking place in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Brazil, Ecuador, etc., prompted Cuba to remind its people of their greatest independence-fighters -- like Antonio Maceo.
      Born in Santiago de Cuba in 1845, Antonio Maceo is revered as, "The Bronze Titan." He died on December 7, 1896, fighting Spanish soldiers in the Battle of Punta Bravo on Cuban soil. While Cuba was unable to overthrow four centuries of occupation from the Spanish empire, Antonio Maceo is emblematic of Cuban independence-fighters who heroically gave their lives trying to achieve independence for the island. And today Antonio Maceo is remembered as one of the greatest inspirations for "THE INDEPENDENCE-FIGHTERS LIKE FIDEL CASTRO WHO IN 1959 LED THE CUBAN REVOLUTION TO FINALLY WIN ITS STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE AGAINST THE UNITED STATES." While Fidel Castro, before he died at age 90 in 2016, ordered that no statues or edifices should not ever be named for him, on the island today there are massive statues and things such as airports and hospitals honoring Antonio Maceo.
      In Havana this is the gigantic statue and monumental park honoring Antonio Maceo.
      On the other end of the island from Havana, this is the statue and park honoring Antonio Maceo in Santiago de Cuba in his hometown where he was born in 1845. Between the island's two biggest cities are many other statues and edifices like airports named for "The Bronze Titan." As independent Cuba is threatened anew by forces such as Title 3/Helms Burton, Rubio, Trump, and anti-Cuban coups and demonstrations across Latin America, honoring legendary Cuban independence fighters like Antonio Maceo is one way Cuba fortifies its reputation as Latin America's all-time most famed and most influential David vs. Goliath success.
Today's Antonio Maceo Brigade in Cuba.
VS. TRUMP'S BRIGADE 2506 in Little Havana.

What If US Attacks Cuba?

While Trump Is Chief Commander!!
      The scintillating Flickr photo above was used to illustrate this weekend's MOST INTERESTING article related to Cuba. It is written by notable U. S. military expert Michael Peck at the National Interest.org blog and its headline starts with these ominous words: "IF AMERICA INVADED CUBA...!!!" Mr. Peck remembers April of 1961 when the United States used an air-land-and-sea military attack {known to history as the Bay of Pigs} to attempt to recapture Cuba by overthrowing the upstart but resoundingly successful Cuban Revolution. And Mr. Heck also stressed that in October of 1962 that the United States almost attacked Revolutionary Cuba and its ally, the nuclear-powered Soviet Union, during the historic Cuban Missile Crisis. Of course, Revolutionary Cuba humiliated the U. S., the CIA, and the Cuban exiles by soundly defeating the real 1961 attack within three days while the almost 1962 attack to this day is still considered the closest the world has come to a nuclear holocaust. So, now study the photo above and picture the modern-day U. S. war machine crossing the Florida Straits to initiate an attack ordered by Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump. With Trump having one more year left in his first term as President of the United States, Michael Peck's article this weekend is INTERESTING for two reasons: {1} Trump has promised Cuban survivors in Little Havana {Miami} he will avenge their defeat at the Bay of Pigs in 1961; and the few Bay of Pigs survivors still alive probably believe that Trump is their last chance to see the end of Revolutionary Cuba.
       Yes, as one of America's most respected military experts and most acute analysts, Michael Peck's interesting article this weekend eerily resonates amidst its riveting conjectures. You may read the article for yourself and also check his Twitter account to ascertain his up-to-date revelations regarding U. S. military developments.
     As Michael Peck appears to understand, President Trump's trips to Little Havana in Miami attest to his total support of only the most extreme Counter Revolutionary Cuban-exile elements who believe Trump will finally demolish Revolutionary Cuba for them.
     The CIA-Cuban exile battle flag for the Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba in 1961 was BRIGADA ASALTO 2506. Speaking in front of that flag in Little Havana, President Trump promised the few remaining Bay of Pigs attackers that his presidency will finally avenge their ignominious defeat.
  All Republican presidents since the 1950's -- especially Nixon, Reagan, Bush#1, and Bush#2 -- have been 100% aligned with the extreme Counter Revolutionary Cubans headquartered in Little Havana. While making numerous Little Havana millionaires and billionaires, and thus politically powerful Republican donors, not even the four U. S. presidents shown above could recapture Cuba for the Little Havana extremists.
     So, such episodes as the USA/Cuban exiles April-1961 Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba remains an historic fact...and unAVENGED.
      But this weekend's interesting article by U. S. military expert Michael Peck reminds us that in November of 2019 Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump, on a whim, has a modern military force that could totally annihilate the nearby island of Cuba in a matter of minutes. IS IT POISED TO DO SO?

USA's Cuban Dissidents

Cuba Lashes Out Hard!!
            Based in Havana, Michael Weissenstein is the Associated Press's Caribbean News Director. His latest article is entitled: "CUBA ACCUSES US DIPLOMAT OF SUPPORTING ILLEGL ACTIONS." Weissenstein wrote:
       "The accusations against charge d'affaires Mara Tekach was a break from Cuba's normal language, which had remained measured despite an escalating Trump administration campaign to cut off revenue and oil to Cuba." Weissenstein understands that Cuba, as David vs. Goliath, tries not to inflame U.S.-Cuban relations even faced with what it describes as the genocidal measures enacted by the Trump administration. 
           The Cuban statement on Nov. 20-2019 accused Mara Tekach of using the otherwise gutted U. S. embassy in Havana to create and fund dissidents to "foment divisions among Cubans. The United States Embassy in Cuba has been the fundamental vehicle for attending to, orienting and financing the conduct of Jose Daniel Ferrer, in a clear demonstration of interference in Cuba's internal affairs and instigation of violence."
     In Michael Weissenstein's AP article, it was unusual for Cuba to identify Mara Tekach as the person it says are using the U. S. Embassy in Havana to massively fund and encourage dissidents, especially Jose Daniel Ferrer who is by far the most prominent dissident on the island.
      Now 49-years-old, Jose Daniel Ferrer has been jailed numerous times as Cuba's most famed dissident.
      In fact, it is believed Jose Daniel Ferrer has been imprisoned since October 1, 2019, and Freedom House and Amnesty International are among those who have demanded that he released. Family members who saw him two weeks said he is being grossly mistreated, fearing for his life. 
     The current detainment of Jose Daniel Ferrer is being used to discredit Cuba but this week, in the aforementioned Associated Press article written by respected U. S. journalist Michael Weissenstein, Cuba decided to lash back claiming that Mara Tekach is using the 7-story U. S. Embassy building in Havana to support dissidents like Jose Daniel Ferrer. Cuba believes the vast majority of Cubans on the island support the government's position and that it must take steps to counteract such flagrant efforts against Cuba's sovereignty.
     The vast anti-Cuban media in the United States indulges in only issues that show Cuba in a drastic negative light. The photo above, for example, illustrates the Radio-TV Marti saturation of Jose Daniel Ferrer coverage. Since the Reagan-Bush administration in the 1980s anointed future Miami-billionaire Jorge Mas Canosa as the USA's Cuban dictator on U. S. soil, Canosa's founding of entities such as the Cuban American National Founding, Radio-TV Marti, etc., essentially created a government-within-the-U. S. government. So since the 1980s every journalist and every politician in Washington is abundantly aware an obscene pipeline of tax dollars has daily flooded from Washington to Miami to lavishly fund Radio-TV Marti, which is merely an anti-Cuban propaganda operation - - as again as every journalist and politician in Washington well knows.
     Decades ago notable journalist Jeffrey Kofman of ABC News had the seminal reminder to U. S. taxpayers what Radio-TV Marti in Miami was created to: {1} To merely make selected anti-Cuban exiles rich; and {2} to broadcast only one-sided anti-Cuba propaganda. The fact Mr. Kofman's two reminders still prevail today exposes Radio-TV Marti as a vivid reminder that anti-Cuban extremists essentially still...all these decades since January 1st of 1959...operate as mostly unchecked 2nd government in the United States of America.
    Whether topics such as how dissidents in Cuba are created or treated receive honest media coverage in the United States is important. Not factoring issues such as Radio-TV Marti into the U.S.-Cuban conundrum seems to denote and suggest that anti-democracy U. S. ties to Cuba prior since 1959 were merely exacerbated since 1959 onto U. S. soil.
    Famed Cuban dissident Yoani Sanchez has a Cuban passport and when she flies off the island she usually heads to Miami and the hot anti-Cuban microphones of Radio-TV Marti.
      And, of course, Yoani Sanchez surely heads to U. S. Congress where she is lavishly received by viciously Counter Revolutionary U. S. Senators Marco Rubio and Bob Menendez.
     This image of Yoani Sanchez after she has visited Miami and Washington and prior to flying back to Havana to resume her ubiquitous status as a apparently internationally known anti-Cuban dissident...to many...vividly serves as a reminder to some people of the incredibly unique U.S.-Cuba relationship. And moreover, it appears the U. S. democracy can deal with it, apparently because of a government-within-a-government.
     Meanwhile, this photo of the famed National Hotel in Havana shows that Revolutionary Cuba somehow has survived more than three years of the Trump administration even as pro-Cuban governments in nations like Bolivia are reeling from coups...with others like Venezuela and Nicaragua teetering toward falling into the anti-Cuba, U.S.-friendly camp.

Cuba Vs. Rubio Regime-Changes

Cuba Knows Main Target Is Cuba!!
     This afternoon -- Nov. 18, 2019 -- U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held a major news briefing. The main focus was another Trump administration declaration of support of Israel and then shifted to support of the demonstrations that have roiled Hong King for months. Then incredibly the next topic for Pompeo was to keep fueling the U. S. rhetoric against Cuba, which the Trump administration believes will be the subject of a regime-change as soon as two more U.S.-backed regime-changes in Venezuela and Nicaragua are completed. Today Pompeo, who usually just lets Marco Rubio and Mauricio Claver-Carone conduct the Cuban regime-change maneuvers clandestinely and out of the spotlight, publicly blamed Cuba for the Bolivian coup that overthrew pro-Cuban President Evo Morales. Pompeo explained that the 700 Cuban doctors and nurses in Bolivia had not been there "to help the people but to prop up the Morales regime." And Pompeo said that "Brazil and Ecuador" had also earlier booted hundreds of Cuban medical personnel out of their countries for the same reason. And, of course, Pompeo expects that the same thing will happen in Venezuela and Nicaragua as soon as regime-changes in those two countries will replace Cuba-friendly governments with U. S.-friendly and Miami-friendly rulers.
     Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel is abundantly aware that the Trump administration believes that the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba will take place by "by spring, April" after the regime-changes in Venezuela and Nicaragua. In the photo above taken back on Thursday -- Nov. 14-2019 -- Diaz-Canel invited international journalists to cover his visit to the Cuban town of Caimanera, which is on the very edge of the U. S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay. He told the 10,000  Caimanera citizens how "heroic" they are and he checked on some renovated businesses such as a 3D movie house. But Diaz-Canel used the visit to mostly explain how important it is for Cubans to keep resisting "criminal Mafia Miami-types that have been tied to all Republican administrations since the 1950s, both during and after the Cuban Revolution, and now they are behind the economic genocide against Cuban families and the regime-changes of Cuba's friends in Latin America. The Republicans under Trump keep squeezing but we keep resisting."
     As Cuba's President, Miguel Diaz-Canel regularly visits towns and cities outside of Havana, but the trip as shown above to the far-eastern town of Caimanera was particularly symbolic because it put him a few hundred yards away from the hated U. S. military base on Cuban soil. "A world Superpower that flouts democracy and decency can't hide the fact it lies cozy in bed with another generation of Batista and Mafia criminals that the United States gave us while they were telling the American people they were giving us democracy. Till January 1, 1959, the U. S. gave Cuba a Mafia island. The reason Revolutionary Cuba has survived for all these decades is due to heroic Cubans in Caimanera and across this island who love our revolutionary independence." Significantly, while in Caimanera Diaz-Canel opined that, "The American people tolerate Republican presidents linked to the Cuban Mafia ensconced in Miami headquarters because they don't know that the lamest Cubans make all decisions pertaining to Cuba but also harm other nations if such nations can be used to recapture Cuba." Asked in Caimanera if he would name one of those "lame Cubans," Diaz-Canel said, "I don't need to, because you know the name Rubio."
     President Diaz-Canel in Cuba is not alone in believing that President Trump has turned over America's Cuban policy to Miami's Marco Rubio in the belief that Miami extremists will deliver Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes to help Trump's re-election on November 3rd, 2020. Diaz-Canel thus believes Rubio has orchestrated never-before genocidal economic sanctions against Cuba while also using U. S. power to support regime-changes in Latin America to eliminate Cuba's key allies. In fact, at one point early this year when Rubio appeared to think the regime-change in Venezuela was just hours away, Rubio sent a Tweet to Diaz-Canel with these taunting three words: "SEE YOU SOON" -- apparently meaning that Rubio would take care of Diaz-Canel as soon as he has taken care of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.
     For sure, it appears that every opposition leader in Latin America looks to Miami and Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans like Rubio when they want to execute a regime-change. Take, for example, the recent regime-change in Bolivia when Jeanine Anez proclaimed herself "President of Bolivia" after violent demonstrations chased Evo Morales to asylum to Mexico after he had been Bolivia's Cuban-friendly President since 2006. After the coup, new leader Jeanine Anez quickly kicked over 700 Cuban doctors and nurses out of Bolivia, suggesting to many that foreign-influence had fueled the riots and turmoil that doomed Morales.
      In Venezuela, opposition leader Juan Guaido is taking far longer than expected to oust embattled President Nicolas Maduro. While obviously not wanting to challenge either Russia or China militarily about Venezuela, the Trump administration has already turned over vast money and other Venezuelan assets to Guaido even as Maduro holds off what appears to be his inevitable demise.
     Instead of having foreign entities such as the U. S., Miami, Russia, and China thrust into regime-changes in Latin America, perhaps non-biased brokers such as the UN should be allowed to have a say-so about when or if Guaido replaces Maduro.
      In Venezuela, opposition leader Juan Guaido seems always to have leaned far too heavily on Marco Rubio, whose interest in regime-changes in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia obviously pertain to Rubio's prime prize -- CUBA!!
           Also, President Trump's anointment of Rubio as the USA's Cuban dictator on U. S. soil fails even the nastiest of smell tests. Proof of that is the genocidal economic crusade against innocent Cuban families on the island, not to mention what appears to a string of foreign-backed regime changes in Latin America.
      In what appears to be his role as America's Cuban dictator, Rubio...as shown above...showed pompously up on the volatile border between Venezuela and Colombia. If when humanitarian situations that mostly harm civilians arise, perhaps less-biased people than Rubio should be the arbitrators.
      The USA's reputation regarding "imperialism in Latin America 1898-1917" dates back to 1898 BECAUSE OF THE THIRST FOR RIGHT-WING THUGS IN NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON WANTING TO GO WAR TO CAPTURE CUBA FROM SPAIN. The easy victory on Cuban soil in the Spanish-American War whetted the USA's imperialist appetite that exists to this day as documented by the graphic above, but it also helped the USA become the richest and strongest nation in the history of world.
      So the U. S. war with Spain in 1898 to capture Cuba was a monumental war although it was a very short one. Its significance pertains to the sheer fact that it was the beginning of making the U. S. into becoming an imperialist world power. 
      The "U. S. ACTIVITIES IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN, 1895-1930'S" began in Cuba. Even as the U. S. concerned itself with other nations in the Caribbean and Latin America, as indicated by the above graphic, it always...once it gained dominance of Cuba from Spain...had the power to make Cuba a Democratic jewel BUT IT HAS FAILED TO DO THAT. Why? It seems Washington believed, and believes, that a democracy in Cuba would not allow rich U. S. businessmen to partake in the wholesale robbery of the island's resources. Of course, since 1898 Americans have been told that the U. S. has always wanted ''DEMOCRACY FOR CUBA." Of course, prior to being booted off the island by the Cuban Revolutionary in January of 1959, the U. S. supported the brutal and thieving Batista-Mafia dictatorship because rich U. S. businessmen indeed were permitted to partake in the wholesale robbery of Cuba's resources.

      So, as the above graphic indicates, the island of Cuba is at the forefront of "US MEDDLING IN LATIN AMERICA." That has been true since 1898 and it is still true today in the closing days of 2019. If you deny that, you are lying about your interpretation of the photo depicted below.
