The sole publisher of Cubaninsider, Rich Haney, has passionately studied Cuba day and night since the 1980s and he has visited the island. He is a fiercely pro-democracy conservative Republican from Virginia and he believes the Cuban Revolution and Revolutionary Cuba say more about the United States than they say about Cuba.

What IF Trump Nuked Cuba?
Would Americans Care??
{Probably Not!!!}
{Probably Not!!!}
Today is May 20th, 2020. The President and Commander-in-Chief of the United States, Donald Trump, has a lot on his plate. But today, like every day of his presidency since January 20th of 2017, he has had to make sure he addresses, both privately and publicly, the two prime obsessions of the extremist Miami/Little Havana Cubans, and those two obsessions are {1} To use Republican White Houses to continue to pump gushing pipelines of tax dollars to Little Havana for a myriad of lucrative Cuban embarrassments such as the decades-old laughable but bankable anti-Cuban/pro-Batista propaganda machine known as Radio-TV Marti; and {2} to use Republican White Houses to continue to fund and promote a 7th-decade of genocidal efforts to re-capture the island of Cuba for a second vicious generation of Batistiano-loving Cuban-Americans. In that milieu today -- May 20th, 2020 -- Trump began his day with a powerful proclamation that could only have been written by the most vicious and self-serving Cuban zealots such as the unchecked Rubio, Claver-Carone, Diaz-Balart brothers, Menendez, etc. Assuming, as always, that both the American people and the U. S. media are too stupid or too afraid to object, here is the first paragraph of Trump's laughable but authentic proclamation today that designates MAY 20th-2020 as CUBA'S INDEPENDENCE DAY: "On Cuban Independence Day we recognize the patriots who fought to liberate Cuba from the colonial oppression and build a society founded on freedom. We continue to stand with the Cuban people as they seek those fundamental rights, and we express our commitment to supporting them as they continue to fight for freedom and democracy." The rest of Trump's CUBAN PROCLAMATION on May 20th-2020 continues the lies that Americans and the media have been forced to swallow regarding Cuba since the 1898 Spanish-American War. The BIGGEST lie is this: When Little Havana Cubans or Republican presidents speak for CUBANS ON THE ISLAND, Americans are not supposed to know what CUBANS ON THE ISLAND are saying about it. And the truth is: If Cubans on the island believed what Little Havana and Trump are saying, Little Havana would have RECAPTURED Cuba many decades ago!!!
Like all Republican presidents since the 1950s, President Trump has been willfully forced or obligated to trek to Little Havana in Miami to confirm total allegiance to not the majority of Cubans but ONLY to the most richest and most powerful of the Cuban zealots. That has been especially true to the three Bush presidencies but it also pertains 100% to all Republican administrations. In a two-party political system, that is a major anti-democracy problem but the last two generations of Americans and media in the United States have been forced to hold their noses and accept it. Trump, of course, went beyond even the Bush administrations when he activated Title III of Helms-Burton. Even President George W. Bush REFUSED to activate Title III because brave and clear-minded people clearly comprehend that Title III legalizes genocide from the United States of America to isolate, starve, deprive, make miserable, and eviscerate everyday Cubans on the island to appease a mere handful of vicious Cubans in Little Havana/Miami, Newark, and in the U. S. Congress.
There is no ambiguity regarding Title III of Helms-Burton. It is legal U. S. genocide against everyday Cubans on the island...nothing more and nothing less. Yet, both the American people and the mainstream U. S. media are obligated to accept it...even though they/we know EXACTLY what it is!!
There, of course, has also never been any ambiguity regarding what the Helms-Burton Act has legalized since 1996 - and that is...pipelines of tax dollars from Washington to Little Havana to make rich Cubans richer and...secondarily...to recapture Cuba. The skull & bones was added to Helms-Burton back in 2019 when President Trump activated Title III.
When ONLY a second-generation of ONLY lifelong Counter Revolutionary Cubans like Mauricio Claver-Carone are the ONLY people allowed to advise President Trump regarding Cuba, it reveals a nagging truth that should shame Democracy-lovers: The island nation of Cuba remains in May of 2020 the most flagrant damnation of what the U. S. democracy once was and was intended to be!!!
Since January of 1959...when the Cuban Revolution overthrew the brutal U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba...Americans have been literally bombarded with Counter Revolutionary/pro-Batistiano/Mafiosi propaganda. Unchecked propaganda in authoritarian nations works...and it has worked in America's democracy too. So...uh...let's see -- IS REVOLUTIONARY CUBA THE WORST GOVERNMENT IN HISTORY AND WAS THE MOB-RUN BATISTA-MAFIA GOVERNMENT THE BEST IN HISTORY!!! Please don't place question marks behind that sentence because, sadly, it might not be healthy to do so.
As a second-generation Counter Revolutionary Cuban, Ali Pardo is a Superstar in the Republican Party and she is one of the Prime Superstars in President Trump's ongoing re-election campaign. Today -- May 20th-2020 -- on the day that Trump issued his CUBAN INDEPENDENCE PROCLAMATION -- Ali Pardo wrote and presented a powerful pro-Batistiano/anti-Cuban proclamation of her own. Her full article is on the Fox News website today and it is entitled: "Ali Pardo: Trump Supports Freedom For Cuba's People While Biden Would Abandon U. S. Commitment To Freedom." It is an upfront example of a second-generation of anti-Cuban Cuban-American propagandist using major forums to saturate Americans with pro-Batista, anti-revolutionary rhetoric...AND BY ALL MEANS make sure you swallow it!!!!
Not only Fox News, but even the left-wing mainstream outlets vehemently opposed to Trump are obligated to promote the Cuban views of extreme anti-Cuban propagandists such as Ali Pardo while ignoring the majority viewpoints from non-propagandists such as...Peter Kornbluh at the U. S. National Archives in Washington; Emily Mendrala at the Washington-based Center for Democracy in the Americans, Patrick Leahy in the U. S. Senate, etc., etc. While renowned, honest, unbiased, knowledgeable Cuban experts such as Kornbluh, Mendrala, Leahy, etc., etc., are easily accessible to the U. S. media, they are never allowed to use the U. S. media to express their sane and important views about US-Cuban relations. Yet, extreme anti-Cuban propagandists such as Ali Pardo, who is now being highly paid to promote Trump's RE-election campaign, can use the mainstream media to spout Cuban venom, including the genocidal Title III activation, whenever and wherever they choose to do so. But, to repeat, Cubans on the island are massively irked when people like Ali Pardo and Trump claim to SPEAK FOR THEM.
HEY, AMERICANS!!! Keep funneling billions of tax dollars to Miami to keep funding the already rich Cubans operating the wonderful Radio-Television Marti propaganda machine!!! ANY DAY NOW it might convince Cubans in Cuba to overthrow their government!!!! So, tell your member of Congress TO KEEP SENDING billions of more of those Marti tax dollars to Little Havana in Miami!!! {Ha! Ha!}
And remember, Americans...the U.S.-backed MAFIA IN HAVANA in the 1950's was the best and most honest GOVERNMENT in the world!!!
And most of all, Americans...keep staying shut and keep helping THE MIAMI CUBAN MAFIA to RE-CAPTURE Cuba and then one day THE MIAMI CUBAN MAFIA hopes to CAPTURE the United States too!!!

Rubio Lies Demean America
Even MORE Than Demeaning Cuba!!
Above are the basic stats that Cuba today -- May 19, 2020 -- provided to the island's 11.4 million people concerning the Coronavirus pandemic. As of today the number of deaths because of COVID-19 are 79. There have been no deaths on the island in the past six days. Are these statistics accurate? Yes. The Cuban people across the island are extremely tuned to television news and to Social Media on the Internet. If they know of anyone who has not been listed by the media among the 85,556 expected cases, confirmed 1,887 cases and 79 deaths, the TV stations and ubiquitous Social Media interactions correct the statistics and the media readily acknowledges the information, checks it out, and then evaluates it. Then the Cuban people judge how it is included. Each day the statistics, just as above, are embellished by a long, long list posted on TV and on Social Media detailing every single new confirmed case or each new death...and 11.4 Cubans can judge the listed stats and then report if anyone who should be on the list is being left out. Thus, Cubans on the island accept the statistics pertaining to the Coronavirus and they approve of how their government is fighting it...AND IF THEY DISAPPROVE THEY CAN READILY STATE THEIR OBJECTIONS ON SOCIAL MEDIA SOURCES SUCH AS FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, AND WHAT'S UP.
Everyday on Cuba's national television outlets Cubans such as Minster of Health Dr. Jose Angel Portal Miranda report directly to the Cuban people about the Coronavirus pandemic. Cubans on the island, now deeply attuned to the Internet, believe Cubans like Dr. Portal and, via their now ubiquitous Social Media, strongly disapprove what they detect that the U. S. government is saying about Cuba's attempt to cope with both the Coronavirus while also having to cope with what the Cubans on the island consider a genocidal attempt by the Trump administration to starve and eviscerate them.
The photo above shows Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel in an island-wide television report to the Cuban people today. He is shown inspecting "a new prototype pulmonary ventilator invented or modified in Cuba that is now being used for intensive therapies." Cubans believe such reports and they strongly support President Diaz-Canel whom Cubans got to know during his time as the island's Education Minister. Everyday Cubans now are finely attuned to chats on Social Media forums such as Facebook. This discuss, including in video chats, such things as...Coronavirus, President Diaz-Canel, and, increasingly, Marco Rubio. The news that Cubans get on the Internet tell them that Rubio is even more of a threat to them than COVID-19. Of course, Americans are told that Rubio is a sweet choirboy from Miami.
Meanwhile, the ubiquitous Social Media accounts of Cubans on the island reveal that they closely monitor their media and government during the Age of COVID-19. And the Social Media interchanges also reveal that the Cubans on the island often revile one name: Rubio. The name Rubio in Cuba conveys to Cubans on the island that Rubio is the prime orchestrator of the Trump administration's current genocide targeting Cubans on the island, with Rubio taking advantage of the COVID-19 crisis to further expand his US-empowered genocide against masses of everyday Cubans on the island. All the while Cubans on the island blame the mainstream U. S. media for being a conduit to spread Rubio's lies about Cuba, providing Rubio a national forum to spread his distorted Cuban venom unchecked across America.
Like a few from two generations of Cubans from Little Havana in Miami who have become vicious Counter Revolutionary Cubans in the U. S. Congress, Rubio races to become Chairman of powerful committees that could best legalize and promote vicious anti-Cuban legislation that punishes Cubans on the island while also lavishing economic and political assets to Little Havana Cubans in Miami...such as the infamous Helms-Burton Act. Thus, Rubio and other Little Havana Cubans sent to Congress race to be put on and become the Chairs of Congressional Committees such as...the Foreign Relations Committee, the Western Hemisphere Committee, the Defense Committee, the Intelligence Committee, etc. The photo above shows Rubio yesterday just after he was appointed the Chairman of the powerful Intelligence Committee in the U. S. Senate. So, as of yesterday, Rubio has gained even more power to dictate his genocide against Cubans on the island while also being able to better enrich already rich Cubans in Little Havana. While the mainstream U. S. media...including the extreme left-wing sources vehemently opposed to Trump...are too afraid to tell truths about Little Havana and Rubio, at least three major sources in Rubio's hometown -- the Miami Herald, Miami New Times, and Progreso Weekly -- have admitted that Trump has anointed Rubio as the USA's Batista-like Cuban dictator. While Batista was the USA's brutal Cuban dictator in Cuba in the 1950's prior to the triumph of the Revolution in 1959, Rubio is now the USA's brutal Cuban dictator in the USA in 2020.
*&***********************&*
It is well known that President Trump despises "Little Marco" as Trump derisively labeled Rubio during the 2016 Republican primary. Yet, the photos and handshakes above once Trump became President came as Trump anointed Rubio as America's Cuban dictator on U. S. soil. In doing so, Trump expects Rubio and his mentors in Little Havana to deliver Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes to Trump in November's presidential election whereby Trump seeks a second 4-year term as President.
Since being named the USA's unchecked Cuban dictator totally dictating America's Cuba Policy, Rubio has been even more vicious and corrupt than expected...even more than what highly respected Washington journalist Ken Silverstein EXPECTED!! Ken Silverstein, in a long and minutely documented and detailed bio on Rubio, described Trump's "Little Marco" cogently and unambiguously with these words: "Rubio stands HEAD AND SHOULDERS above everyone else in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery." And, yes, that is the Rubio who now is unchecked as America's Trump-anointed and Little Havana-blessed Dictator of Cuba on U. S. soil. Among other things, Rubio dictated the activation of Title 3 of the Helms-Burton Act, which since the 1990's has been Little Havana's Cash Cow piggy-bank concerning enriching already rich Miami Cubans with tax dollars from Washington...as well as legalizing untold funding for unlimited schemes to punish Cubans on the island. Prior to Trump anointing Rubio as the Dictator of America's Cuba Policy, not even the George W. Bush presidency would activate Title 3 of Helms-Burden because EVEN BUSH considered it TOO GENOCIDAL to impose on masses of totally innocent Cubans on the island. But with Rubio the unchecked Dictator of Cuba Policy, the genocidal policy legalized by Title 3 is being inflicted on masses of everyday Cuban children, women, and men on the island to appease a handful of Little Havana Cubans who dictate to the Dictator, and the Dictator right now is Rubio.
In May of 2020 the Pantheon of Anti-Cuban zealots includes vicious self-serving benefactors and renowned war-mongers such as...Elliott Abrams, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Marco Rubio, and Mauricio Claver-Carone. As Secretary of State, Pompeo is totally obligated to issue only genocidal Cuban directives that are ONLY dictated to him by Rubio and Claver-Carone. Including the lifelong Counter Revolutionary zealot Claver-Carone who is barely known to Americans, Rubio the Dicator has been allowed by President Trump to personally name every single one of the TOP TWENTY or so people who are permitted to have input regarding Rubio's genocide against Cubans on the island while greatly enriching already rich Cubans in Rubio's lucrative Little Havana bastion that, shamefully, now includes Congress and the White House as Little Havana bastions.
As the Cuban Dictator on U. S. Soil, Rubio is almost unchecked when it comes to his narratives and policies relating to Cuba. That mean they are extremely lucrative and pleasing to Little Havana Cubans while also, of course, being vitriolic and genocidal to everyday Cubans on the island. U. S. Democracy-lovers, like me, who have been on the island and purposely lived with randomly selected everyday Cubans inside and outside Havana, know that Cubans on the island like to express their own opinions about US.-Cuban relations. They abhor their memories of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship in the 1950's, and they abhor U.S. Cubans like Rubio speaking for them. Rubio, they know, is a self-serving liar when it comes to how Cubans on the island feel. Americans who have been to or not allowed to visit Cuba can at least go to the Internet and read the ubiquitous use of Facebook and other Social Media that Cubans in Cuba are attuned to and, some say, now addicted to. They consider Rubio, like Batista in the 1950's, a self-serving liar about Cubans on the island. Rubio's biggest lie that Cubans often discuss on Social Media is his lie that he wants to "HELP" Cubans on the island, not "starve" them.
Based on Social Media chats, everyday Cubans in Cuba are most irked about Rubio and his minions being allowed to routinely even use the mainstream left-wing anti-Trump media to routinely spout vicious and unchecked "lies" about U.S.-Cuban relations. I totally agree with everyday Cubans on the island that Rubio demeans America and Democracy while he is absorbed with demeaning Cuba...while being able to use the U.S. treasury, the U. S. military, and the mainstream U. S. media to promote his Cuban zealotry and genocide.
Yes, Washington's highly respected journalist Ken Silverstein reports that Rubio is "head and shoulders above everyone in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery." And yes, that is the Rubio who is now the USA's Cuban Dictator on American Soil.
Yes, the Miami-based and Cuban-attuned PROGRESO WEEKLY in Rubio's hometown is aware about the "TRUMPIFIED MARCO RUBIO USING LANGUAGE OF DEMOCRACY TO SUBVERY DEMOCRACY." And yes, this is the pinocchio-nosed Rubio who is now the Cuban Dictator on American Soil. Wonderful!! When a "Little Marco from Little Havana can use "corruption and chicanery" to "SUBVERT DEMOCRACY" and use the U. S. government and the mainstream media to do it, then PERHAPS it is time for Democracy-loving Americans and Cuban-Americans to reign in the Cuban Dictator on American Soil. Otherwise, Little Havana in Miami will become Little Havana in the Entire USA.

US-Venezuelan War Imminent?
Inching Closer Daily!!
This Reuters photo this weekend indicates that a U. S. war against Venezuela may be closer than many believe. An Iranian ship is now on the open ocean loaded with oil bound for Venezuela. It is defying many U. S. sanctions now imposed against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. As the ship left its port, Iran said that if U. S. "Pirates" interfered with its ship there would be "repercussions." On the heels of the ill-launched attack on Venezuela apparently led by three former U. S. Green Beret soldiers, two of them now among the captured prisoners, in this video shown around the world, you can hear one of the captured Americans explain that U.S.-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido was involved in the latest Bay of Pigs-type U.S. humiliation in Latin America:
Of course, Juan Guaido is Marco Rubio's chosen President of Venezuela. And, of course, any opposition leader in Latin America who claims he is VEHEMENTLY anti-Cuban is smart enough to repeatedly call Rubio in Little Havana or in the U. S. CONGRESS to obtain the wherewithal to mount their regime-changes -- uh, and no other questions asked!! While Rubio appears unconcerned about the cost of a Latin American war, it might be wise for Americans to at least ask about what Rubio is up to and why President Trump has anointed Rubio as the USA's Cuban and Latin American dictator. After all, Little Havana is NOT YET the capital of the USA and the USA is still a Democracy, RIGHT?
The recent attack on Venezuela as a prelude to the long-delayed Little Havana recapture of Cuba eerily resembles the April-1961 attack at the Bay of Pigs when the U. S. and Little Havana tried to recapture Cuba.
As a humiliated Democracy-loving American, permit me to turn over the latest U. S. humiliations of America that involve Little Havana to Jon Lee Anderson, perhaps the all-time most respected expert on US-Cuban relations. In The New Yorker this week, Jon Lee Anderson wrote another masterpiece entitled: "IN VENEZUELA, AMERICA ATTEMPTED TO STAGE A BAY OF PIGLETS!!!" If you missed it, I now give you time to go Online to both read it and digest it. Yes, Jon Lee Anderson is a true expert on both BAY OF PIGLETS!!!
