Corrupt U.S. Cubans Dictate Policy?

Even Mainstream Media Knows!!

    As of today -- May 15, 2020 -- above are the statistics that Cubans are seeing on their TV sets pertaining to the Coronavirus pandemic. The confirmed cases to date are 77,374 with 79 deaths. Contrary to what Americans are told, Cubans on the island believe what their government tells them about COVID-19 and then they discuss the updates on online Social Media sources, which Cubans now are ubiquitously attuned to.

    Regularly appearing on television, Dr. Francisco Duran is well-loved by Cubans and they believe what he is telling them daily about the Coronavirus. Each day his extended reports contain long details on the TV screens regarding each new death and even every new confirmed case: "14,913 patients admitted to hospitals for clinical epidemiological observations...2,947 are watched in their homes...10 new cases were Cuban, 3 men and 7 women...among the 10 new cases since yesterday are a 78-year-old man but, as you can see on the screen, today there are also a 10-year-old and a 3-year-old...there have been no additional deaths in the past 24 hours..."

    Cubans on the island know Dr. Francisco Duran well and they trust him as he leads them through the COVID-19 crisis. His daily statistics are believed because he extensively details each new death, every new case, etc...and Cubans on Social Media meticulously discuss the deaths and/or cases that they know about personally. Of course, in the U. S. extreme anti-Cuban blogs such as Babalu, right-wing "newspapers" backed by billionaire-dollars such as Breitbart, and even so-called "mainstream" U. S. media such as the Miami Herald blare headlines and articles on a daily basis that try to take advantage of the pandemic to help the Trump administration execute a regime-change in Cuba prior to the presidential election in November. Incredibly, the extreme Little Havana dictation of America's genocidal Cuban policies during every Republican administration skirts around Democracy to blatantly shove anti-Cuban venom down the throats of Americans...even as both nations fight the COVID-19 crisis.

    In May of 2020 the U. S. democracy that allows a second generation of vicious, self-serving Little Havana zealots to dictate Cuban policy shames America even more, I think, than it harms Cuba. The brutal SELF-SERVING dictates of Mauricio Claver-Carone, Marco Rubio, and Mario Diaz-Balart during the Trump presidency are from extremists who are in the extreme minority but they are almost totally unchecked. Decent or moderate views simply ARE NOT PERMITTED in the world's strongest but now Little Havana-infested Democracy. From Miami to Newark and, of course, to the U. S. Congress and in all Republican White Houses, it shames America and Democracy that well-known corrupt Little Havana-types are always ubiquitous, but unchecked, even when it comes to even genocidal U. S. policies against masses of Cubans on the island. For example, a massive article in the New York Times this week explains such Cuban corruption that has seeped so deeply into the bowels of the U. S. Democracy!!!

      A superstar reporter at the New York Times, Patricia Mazzie, has just penned a major article entitled: "VENEZUELA OIL COMPANY SUES MIAMI EX-CONGRESSMAN OVER $50 MILLION DEAL." Uh, no KIDDING!! The ex-Congressman, not surprisingly, is David Rivera who reached the U. S. Congress in 2011 from Miami as one of the most vicious anti-Cuban zealots in the world. David Rivera didn't last long in Congress and Wikipedia opens its bio of him by reminding us that Rivera was "named one of the most corrupt members of Congress." So Patricia Mazzie of the NY Times this week updates David Rivera as a consultant whose office is in his home and he signs BIG, WEIRD deals, such as a $17 million-a-month deal with a Venezuelan oil company that says Rivera barely provided it in return a few pages of worthless information.

      Of course, David Rivera, known as the corrupt anti-Cuban U. S. Congressman from Miami, is also known as the former roommate of Marco Rubio and, not surprisingly, Rivera and Rubio together have been connected with shady dealing as a pair, which is well known in Miami and Washington.

      If David Rivera is labeled the "MOST CORRUPT" former Congressman from Miami, where does that leave the current Congressman from Miami, Marco Rubio? Well, it leaves Rubio as a Little Havana totally safe incumbent in the U. S. Senate and as America's Trump-anointed Cuban dictator on U. S. soil.

    For sure, Rubio and Rivera are intertwined as being vicious anti-Cuban zealots whose careers have been laced to and primed by zealous anti-Cuban mentors in Miami's lucrative and volatile Little Havana diaspora. While Rivera is no longer in Congress, Rubio is NOT ONLY still in the U. S. Congress but, as anointed by President Trump, Rubio IS America's Cuban dictator on U. S. soil. That is a prime problem for Cuba and its allies but perhaps it is JUST AS MUCH A PROBLEM for the United States and Democracy.

   Many top journalists in America consider Ken Silverstein America's best investigative journalist. He earned that sobriquet during his years working for the Los Angeles Times, the Associated Press, Harper's Magazine, etc.

    Many believe that Ken Silverstein's best investigative journalism was his massive bio, as depicted above, of Marco Rubio. The long article began with the cogent statement that Rubio is "head and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery." Now please understand that takes in massive territory and, moreover, no one has ever questioned, to my knowledge, Ken Silverstein's findings EVEN THOUGH they minutely detail precise names, events, dates, etc. about Rubio's "corruption and chicanery." Of course, much of the mainstream U. S. media, apparently afraid of Little Havana, project Rubio as a choirboy from Miami and Little Havana.

    One  of the best independent journalists who reports about Miami is Lauren Kaori Gurley. She is brave and competent enough to write such words as: "Rubio's vision for Latin America promotes the long history of the U. S. meddling in Latin American affairs to assist U. S. hegemony. As essentially the U. S. Cuban dictator under Trump, what comes next from Rubio could be bloody and transformational for the region. How far Rubio is able to push his agenda while Trump remains President might result in costly, bloody, and endless coups not only creating a regime-change in Cuba but also in all of Cuba's Latin America allies -- especially, between now and November's next presidential election, in Venezuela and Nicaragua." Lauren Kaori Gurley wrote a superb article entitled: "Marco Rubio, Trump's Shadow Secretary of State." She points out that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo only puppets Rubio-dictated genocidal Cuban policies. And, of course, most U. S. journalists are not as brave Gurley is when it comes to reporting such facts about Cuba.

      In other words, Marco Rubio remains in the U. S. Senate and doubles as Trump's Cuban dictator while his former Little Havana roommate David Rivera was booted out of Congress amid corruption charges but, of course, as a powerful Latin American "consultant" apparently remains in on lucrative and volatile Rubio-obsessed projects -- such as the already bloody regime-change U. S. efforts in Venezuela as a prelude to Rubio's prime priority -- CUBA-CUBA-CUBA!!

    This is the photo used by the New York Times this week in its massive article about another corruption charge against Marco Rubio's dear friend, the former Little Havana congressman David Rivera. The NY Times apparently finds Rivera's apparently shady deal with Venezuela interesting because Rivera's best pal, Rubio, is apparently the top orchestrator of the Trump administration's all-out effort to execute a regime-change in Venezuela...as, uh, Rubio's prelude to his regime-change in Cuba.

   When former bitter Republican enemies -- Rubio & TRUMP -- can agree on Rubio taking over as America's brutal Cuban dictator on U. S. soil, it bespeaks of Little Havana's control of the Republican Party. In America's two-party political system, that is perhaps more a problem for America than Cuba, even considering Rubio's genocidal plans for Cubans on the island already taking place with the full cooperation of the U. S. State Department and the entire TRUMP U. S. government.

     The present situation may be a laughing matter for Cuban dictator Rubio and American President TRUMP, but it portends genocide for Cubans on the island and a massive insult for the United States of America and for Democracy.

      There are many Democracy-lovers in the United States who are aware of the TRUMPIFIED MARCO RUBIO SUBVERTING DEMOCRACY BY USING THE LANGUAGE OF DEMOCRACY TO DO IT. The graphic statement above is by the Miami-based Progreso Weekly in Marco Rubio's hometown, which is also the home-base of Little Havana.

Terrorism Against Cuba 2020-Style

U. S. Terror Condoned Against Cuba?!?

    Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez today has blasted the United States for "minimizing" the terrorist act against the Cuban embassy in Washington on April 30th, 2020. That day a Cuban with strong Miami ties fired 32 shots from an AK-47 rifle at the building, with many of the bullets penetrating inside where 12 Cubans were working. Rodriguez said, "The attacker confessed that he aimed to kill. It's a very serious issue." Also, CNN, NBC News, and other U. S. media are reporting that the shooter had a gas-soaked Cuban flag that contained the words "TRUMP 2020." Speaking for Cuba, Rodriguez has loudly accused the U. S. of committing genocide against the masses of everyday Cubans since Trump activated Title 3 of Helms-Burton back in April of 2019. Now Rodriguez loudly proclaims that the U. S. encourages and condones "terrorista" attacks against innocent "Cubans anywhere, as in the days of famed and unchecked and even U.S.-paid terrorists such as Luis Posada and Orlando Bosch. Now with another Republican President in the White House, allowing U. S. Cubans like Rubio and Claver-Carone to go totally unchecked during their orchestration of vicious Cuban policies breeds more congressional-allowed and White House-allowed Cuban terrorism in 2020 in America. I mean...is LEGAL TERRORISM better than nonlegal terrorism?"

     Of course, 32 shots from the AK-47 rifle against the Cuban embassy brought the Washington police as well as the White House Secret Service to the Cuban embassy.

    This is the shooter's gas-soaked Cuban flag that had writing promoting the "Trump 2020" re-election. Certainly, Trump's genocidal policies against Cuba are favored by extremist U. S. Cubans who want Trump re-elected in November.

     The Cuban who shot up the Cuban embassy, 42-year-old Alexander Alazo, was arrested. He left Cuba in 2003 but Cuba confirms via published records that he has been on the island 8 times since 2003.

      The embassy shooting on April 30th, 2020, reminded Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez today of: "The many decades that vicious U.S.-trained and U.S.-paid Cuban terrorists such as Luis Posada operated freely while committing and bragging about massive terror acts against innocent Cubans, telling the New York Times that such victims were 'collateral damage' to the overall goal of eviscerating Revolutionary Cuba. While this made Posada and others like him celebrated heroes in Miami as well as favorite operatives of powerful politicians like their Bush supporters, no nation should support or condone terrorism. But that is what Cuba, a small sovereign nation, has been subjected to for over six decades now. And, of course, it continues now into a second generation of Posada-like terrorists and Bush-like sycophants."

   Of course, what Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez says today about equating the April 30th-2020 terror attack against Cuba in Washington with 6-decades of terror attacks against Cuba is something that is not allowed to resonate with Americans. But what has resonated with Americans since 1959 is extreme pro-Batista propaganda and extreme anti-Revolutionary propaganda, which in the America psyche permits and condones terrorism as long as it's done by U. S. Cubans involved in terrorizing anyone or anything related to opposing the Batista Cubans who were chased off the island by the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959.

      In that milieu since 1959, Emilio Milian -- the top Cuban-American newsman in Miami in 1976 -- got car-bombed after he went on the air to denounce Cuban terrorist acts against innocent Cubans, such as the 1976 bombing of a children-ladened Cuban airplane, and such as the Cuban terrorist car-bombing within sound of the White House in 1976 that killed a former Chilean diplomat and his beautiful young American aide Ronnie Moffett. Cuba still is reminded that the bloody year of 1976 happened to be the only year that a Bush was the U. S. CIA Director.

    When a decent Cuban-American who abhors terrorism {such as Emilio Milian} gets routinely car-bombed in Miami while self-avowed extreme Cuban terrorists such as Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada live long lives celebrated as heroes in Miami, perhaps Miami's Cuban problems and Miami's Cuban feasts should have not been allowed to permeate Washington, Congress, and all Republican White Houses. But that is what has evolved!!

  Therefore, this is the classic Miami handshake, Rubio & Trump, that solidified the synergy and nexus of America's current Little Havana/Congress/White House alliance that is designed to re-capture Cuba but also,  as a bonus, portends Little Havana's plan to add the capture of Washington to the bargain.

cubaninsider: U.S. Obsession: Recapturing CUBA

U.S. Obsession: Recapturing CUBA

Not Subsiding DURING The Pandemic!!

     Anyone who knows me or Cubaninsider knows that the reason that I think President Trump should be impeached is his genocidal CUBA POLICY.

        Yet, I sincerely believe that Mary O'Grady is MORE OF A THREAT to the United States of America and to Democracy than President Trump. I'll explain.

    America's experiment with Democracy evolved when the American Revolution gained independence from England on July 4th, 1776. As you can see above, Thomas Jefferson, the Founding Father who wrote the decisive Declaration of Independence, fully believed that a vibrant and honest media...namely newspapers in his day...was more important than the government itself. For a couple of centuries, that arcane fact/belief served the U. S. democracy well, helping the USA to emerge after War World II in 1945 as the world's richest and strongest nation. However, in recent years the mainstream print and electronic media in the U. S. has evolved from being a vibrant and honest news-gathering-and-dispensing entity into a vast propaganda machine. In that milieu, formerly iconic and important media sources --such as the Washington Post, the NY Times, the Wall Street Journal, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. -- have evolved into nothing more and nothing less than propaganda outlets that would have probably made Joseph Goebbels proud. And that's why I believe that, for example, that Mary O'Grady epitomizes what I think is an element that is more dangerous to America's democracy than politicians like President Trump, who emerge and then depart, will ever be.

     As a prime example of America's mainstream news outlets as depicted above in May of 2020, Mary Anastasia O'Grady, is the Superstar propagandist at the once-respected Wall Street Journal. The WSJ was for decades important to Americans as a dispenser of valuable news and analyses. But, as with almost all mainstream news sources in the United States, now the WSJ is typically owned by a multi-billionaire individual/corporation that is solely concerned with propaganda, certainly not gathering news and dispensing it honestly to the American people. Since 1995 Mary Anastasia O'Grady has been a Superpower propagandist at the WSJ and since 2005 Mary Anastasia O'Grady has been the WSJ's top Editorial Propagandist. This week, as usual, the most flagrant Editorial in the WSJ didn't concern itself with providing news or journalism to the American people regarding items such as...well, adjusting to and surviving the COVID-19 pandemic. As she has done for decades now at the once-iconic WSJ, Mary Anastasia O'Grady's latest propaganda spiel to the American people was entitled: "How Cuba's Spies Keep Winning." And the sub-title is: "THEY'VE INFILTRATED ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO UNSEAT VENEZUELA'S NICOLAS MADURO." Obsessed with recapturing Cuba and always propagandizing about how Cubans today deserve a return of the 1950's Batista-Mafia dictatorship, Mary Anastasia O'Grady used the pages of WSJ this week to not write a fair, honest article but once again concentrated on lies to bemirsh Cuba. As usual Mary Anastasia O'Grady campaigned for not only a regime-change in Cuba but also U.S.-imposed regime-changes in all of Latin American nations that are friendly to Cuba. "HEY, LET'S NOT WORRY ABOUT COVID-19 AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE CONCERNING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, LET'S CONCENTRATE ON ASSAULTING THE CUBANS ON THAT DASTARDLY ISLAND THAT IS CAUSING ALL THE PROBLEMS IN THE REGION AND ALL AROUND THE WHOLE WORLD." If that sounds too hyperbolic or too simple, REALLY...it is not. It is what Americans have been saturated with and shoved down their throats since 1959, and now it also comes from the mainstream media via the likes of Mary Anastasia O'Gredy.

      As noted, since 1995 Mary Anastasia O'Grady has used the influential WSJ to promote her venom calling for Revolutionary Cuba's demise, implying that pre-Revolutionary Cuba run by the Mafia with the support of the USA was the government that Cubans on the island now need, want, and deserve. Beyond using the WSJ as her prime forum for her anti-Cuban diatribes, O'Grady, as shown above, goes out across the USA speaking about Cuba being the most brutal nation in the whole world. Asked to explain that, O'Grady started by saying, "That's right, James. Sonia Garro was arrested last year..." O'Grady believes that the USA should use ever-more billions of tax dollars and military attacks to create and support as many dissidents on the island as possible. So, a dissident named Sonia Garra that day was one of O'Grady's anti-Cuban projects.

     Democracy-lovers, like me, are not advocates for socialism but extreme propagandists such as Mary Anastasia O'Grady should not be allowed, I believe, to promote Trump-like genocide against masses of Cubans on the island because they don't want to overthrow their socialist government. In fact, the reason...despite billions of still-ongoing U. S. tax dollars being used to persuade them...there remain on the island enough Cubans who prefer their revolutionary government than prefer a return of the Batistiano-Mafiosi that O'Grady champions. If that was not so, I assume that Mary Anastasia O'Grady would have been able to fly to Havana long ago to celebrate the return of the Batistianos.

     When an obsessive anti-Cuban propagandist like Mary O'Grady can be promoted by the mainstream U. S. media as an honest EXPERT on Latin America, it is an example of the mainstream media in the U. S. insulting journalism while also insulting the American people.

      When a Mary Anastasia O'Grady can be projected by the mainstream U. S. media as a true and honest Latin America expert even though she appears to be a supreme propagandist who promotes Trump-like genocide on masses of Cubans on the nearby island, then it is perhaps time Democracy-loving Americans should be asking this question: IS AN EXTREMIST PROPAGANDA-OBSESSED MAINSTREAM MEDIA THE MAIN THREAT TO AMERICA AND TO DEMOCRACY? And so, this week O'Grady typically uses the power of the mainstream media to blare this WSJ headline: "How Cuba's Spies Keep Winning." And the sub-headline is: "THEY'VE INFILTRATED ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO UNSEAT VENEZUELA'S NICOLAS MADURO." Thus O'Grady again distorts and slants an international story so she can spout weird lies against Cuba, this time a Bay of Pigs-like humiliation of a regime-change in Cuba in 1961 that this time was an ignorant regime-change humiliation in Venezuela. WONDERFUL!!! As far as O'Grady is concerned the Bay of Pigs was one of the greatest efforts in American history and this month's effort in Venezuela, because it is Cuba's ally, shines more glory on the USA.

     Since 1959 fierce and unchecked Counter Revolutionary Cubans in the United States have largely dictated the Cuban narrative. But only recently have propaganda-obsessed, multi-billionaire owners of America's prime media sources been allowed to dispense propaganda masquerading as real, legitimate news. That makes Mary Anastasia O'Grady, representing today's mainstream media, more dangerous to America and Democracy than even Donald Trump.

      Yes, as a stooge of Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami, Newark, and Congress, President Trump should have been impeached the day in 2019 he activated genocide on Cuba via Title 3/Helms-Burton, which clearly permits the United States of America to legalize genocide against masses of Cubans on the island.

     But I sincerely believe that Mary Anastasia O'Grady is more of a danger to America and Democracy than politicians like Donald Trump will ever be. That's because O'Grady epitomizes the transition of the mainstream U. S. media from being an honest news gathering and dispensing source to being a prime  and powerful propaganda machine. As Thomas Jefferson opined almost three centuries ago, an honest news gathering and dispensing media is more important to a Democracy than even the government itself. Therefore, when a Mary Anastasia O'Grady -- an obsessed anti-Cuban propagandist -- can epitomize today's mainstream USA, that situation is the biggest threat to America and Democracy, I believe...and it might portend the day when America epitomizes Batista's Cuba.
