Rubio's Cuban Genocide

No Resistance From US Democracy!!

      The photo above shows the Four Points-Sheraton Hotel in Havana operated by the U.S.-based Marriott Hotel chain. Marriott got the license to operate in Cuba during the 2014-2016 period when former U. S. President Barack Obama was normalizing relations between the U. S. and Cuba. Immediately when the Republican Donald Trump replaced the Democrat Obama as U. S. president in January of 2017, the Trump administration has gone from the Republican-imposed Embargo against the island, first imposed in 1962, to expand it to a genocidal Blockade, trying to block off all avenues of revenue to the Cuban government and the Cuban people. Earlier this week, back on June 3rd, the U. S. further cut remittances that many Cuban-Americans send to family members on the island. And today -- June 5th, 2020 -- the U. S. continued to try to block the last vestiges of money for Cubans on the island. Today Marriott Hotels was told to cease its business in Cuba, with the U. S. adding that,"Marriott will not be permitted to open hotels in Cuba that have been in preparation."

      Although both the mainstream U. S. media and the American people are programmed not to object about genocide against masses of Cubans on the island, U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo himself operates as the spokesman for most of the major assaults against Cuba. Americans, of course, are not supposed to wonder...with a lot of other important things happening, why is the Secretary of State putting so much time devoted to trying to starve Cubans in Cuba, apparently to appease a handful of vicious Cuban-Americans tied to Little Havana in Miami???

      Secretary of State Pompeo seems to be taking full advantage of the Coronavirus to further punish Cubans on the island. The U. S. has been accused of using its awesome worldwide influence to keep nations such as China and Switzerland from sending some needed COVID-19 medical supplies to Cuba. Of course, neither the mainstream U. S. media nor the American people apparently wouldn't object if the Trump administration nuked Cuba between now and the next presidential election on November 3rd of this year. It seems, for sure, that the Little Havana zealots who control the Republican Party seem anxious to recapture Cuba prior to the Nov. 3rd-2020 election.

     Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said this week that U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was announcing a "criminal act" when he announced on June 3-2020 that the further drastic cut of remittances to the island would be enacted. Rodriguez today -- on June 5-2020 -- blamed Pompeo for "being controlled totally by a mere few of the most egregious enemies of the Cuban people, not the majority of Cuban-Americans who don't want their family members and friends in Cuba starved by the powerful United States. In the U. S. democracy, it appears, Americans are not allowed to know that Cuba since 1959 has provided totally free health care, totally free educations through college, and, if needed, free food and other necessities for all Cubans. Anti-Cubans like Rubio who gain politically and financially from punishing Cubans in Cuba have never been to Cuba and don't want other Americans to visit the island either...so as to keep them from disputing Rubio's lies."

     For sure, it appears that every anti-Cuban news conference conducted by U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seems to be totally scripted by Marco Rubio.

           In fact, in both the U. S. Congress and as the top power in the Trump administration, Mike Pompeo, as indicated above, has always been under Rubio's thumb.

    As Secretary of State, it clearly appears that Secretary of State Pompeo has allowed Rubio to appoint only anti-Cuban zealots such as Mauricio Claver-Carone to positions that can best influence genocide against Cubans on the island. Claver-Carone, for example, is in charge of WESTERN HEMISPHERE Affairs for the United States because, of course, Cuba is in the Western Hemisphere. Once Claver-Carone was put in that powerful position, his own hometown newspaper in Florida stated that, ever since he played high school football in Orlando, that Claver-Carone would go "BERSERK" if anyone mentioned anything about the Cuban Revolution around him. All his adult life, Claver-Carone has remained "berserk" in his undying efforts to overthrow the Cuban Revolution...and that's why, along with his buddy Rubio, Claver-Carone is right now making the anti-Cuban decisions for Donald Trump and the United States of America.

     With Little Havana having an iron grip on the Trump administration, only war-mongering Cuban extremists are allowed to have input regarding U.S.-Cuba relations. Thus, Abrams, Bolton, Pompeo, Rubio, Claver-Carone, and their ilk are allowed to make decisions regarding Cuba while another Republican, Trump, is President. All the while, of course, the mainstream U. S. media and the U. S. people are supposed to keep their mouths shut about what...tuh...seems to be an affront to Democracy and Decency.

      For many decades little Cuba has punched much larger than its size on the world stage, and it is still trying to punch back against Trump's Superpower genocide.

     It is abundantly clear that Trump craves the Cuban-American Vote in southern Florida so much that he is willing to sacrifice 11.4 million Cubans on the island to appease a handful of ultra-rich and powerful Cubans in Little Havana that he believes will provide him their support on November 3rd, 2020.

     Of course, President Trump's genocidal CUBA POLICY is designed to win him all of Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes in the Nov. 3rd-2020 presidential election. Republican candidates believe that bowing to Little Havana regarding Havana is crucial to winning and keeping the White House. In 2019, with Rubio and Claver-Carone in control of Cuban affairs in the White House, Trump activated Title III/Helms-Burton. No other U. S. president...not even GEORGE W. BUSH...had ever activated Title III because most decent Americans consider it TOO GENOCIDAL to impose on the masses of Cubans on the island just to appease a handful of Cubans in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress.

    And thus, on June 5th-2020, we have President Trump pointing to Rubio and Claver-Carone to continue imposing genocide on Cubans on the island.

       And, America, if Title III/Helms-Burton does not constitute U. S. genocide against masses of people on the island of Cuba, I believe that it will do as such at least until Rubio and Claver-Carone concoct something else.

Rubio's Casa Blanco

Soon, Rubio's White House?

    This 8-person montage reflects Marco Rubio's renewed plans to supplant Donald Trump as America's Commander-in-Chief in the White House, which Rubio routinely refers to as "La Casa Blanco" {"The White House"}. With ultra-powerful Diaz-Balart/Menendez-type associates as depicted above, Rubio has no problem making others such as VP Mike Pence into Little Havana puppets. In this graphic you see Rubio grinningly approving Pence stating that Nicaragua's revolutionary leader Danny Ortega "is just an irreversible insane freak." In his revived march to the White House, Little Havana's Rubio has control of President Trump as well as major committees in Congress as well as the State Department to execute regime-changes in Bolivia first and then Nicaragua and Venezuela before regaining control of Havana for Little Havana. But perhaps more dangerous is the basic fact that Cuba now appears not now to be Rubio's prime prize. Rubio's main goal now seems to be the United States, which to him apparently means "La Casa Blanco" -- "The White House" -- and he might be on the path to getting it.

Can Cuba Survive COVID and Miami

PROBABLY, But...!!!

     The most honest and fair-minded journalist in Miami regarding Cuba is Hatzel Vela at Channel 10, the television station that stationed Hatzel in Cuba in 2017. Today Hatzel's report is entitled: "CUBA BANKS WELCOME U. S. DOLLARS AS PANDEMIC'S IMPACT ON TOURISM CAUSES FOOD SHORTAGES." Cuba, to combat the Coronavirus pandemic, has shut off tourism, which is one of the absolute lifelines for the island's economy. Also, it also is apparent that the Counter Revolutionary extremists in Miami-Dade County, Florida, are taking advantage of Cuba's struggle with COVID-19 and the Trump administration's genocidal Blockade to, finally, retake control of Cuba from the Cuban Revolution, which overthrew the U.S.-backed Batista dictatorship on January 1, 1959, and, somehow, has managed to resist the U.S.-backed efforts of the ultra-powerful Miami Cubans for over six decades.

     In Miami-Dade County, Dr. Andy Gomez is one of the top experts focused on Cuba's economy, and Dr. Gomez apparently believes COVID-19 and the Trump-backed Miami Cubans will finally doom Revolutionary Cuba.

     Today this is Dr. Andy Gomez's precise assessment about Cuba trying to survive the combined might of COVID-19, the Miami Cubans, and the Trump administration in Washington: "It is certain that the Cuban economy is in shambles, and it's going to get worse and the pandemic has had a lot to do with it."

      As of today -- May 30th, 2020 -- above is Cuba's statistical update on the impact of COVID-19 on the island's 11.4 million people. Recently, Cuba has gone 7 straight days without a death from COVID-19 and one death in the past 24 hours has pushed the overall total of "fallecidos" {"deaths"} to 83. The statistics are daily posted on island-wide television and on Social Media complete with details about every single new death or the new confirmed cases, enabling Cubans to update or dispute the stats if they know of anyone in their neighborhood that should be listed. Yes, Cuba now has a handle on the ongoing pandemic but there are food shortages on the island as the genocidal aspects of the Miami/Trump Blockade is beginning to seriously impact everyday Cubans, as the following three photos showing Cubans scrambling for food attest.

    The two prime architects of these vivid genocidal aspects of the Trump administration's assault on Cuba are Miami-controlled Cubans named Marco Rubio and Mauricio Claver-Carone.

    The fact that ONLY self-serving, vicious USA Cubans such as Rubio & Claver-Carone are allowed to affect Cuban policy in the USA mocks the Democracy that America's Founding Fathers envisioned in 1776. And in the tumultuous year of 2020 when Rubio & Claver-Carone can use the unique economic and military power of the United States to orchestrate food and deprivation genocide against masses of Cubans on the island shames both the United States and Democracy FAR MORE than it shames struggling Cubans in Cuba. And the greatest shame of all is that zealots like Rubio & Claver-Carone are unchecked as the mainstream media in the U. S. and pusillanimous generation of American citizens allow it to happen. And, yes, this is the same media and the same citizens who sanctimoniously denounce even hints of genocide by other superpowers such as China and Russia.

     There, of course, are great investigative journalists such as Andy Kroll who are neither unafraid nor bought-off when it comes to the likes of Rubio & Claver-Carone using the power of the United States to commit genocide Cubans in Cuba. Andy Kroll's article that originated in Mother Jones, for example, is entitled: "How A Crew of Hardliners Hijacked Donald Trump's Cuba Policy." By doing so, of course, Rubio & Claver-Carone also HI-JACKED America's Democracy and its international reputation for decency.

     All Republican administrations since the 1950's have been tightly aligned with the Batistianos in Havana and, since 1959, in Little Havana. But the current Trump administration is the only one that has openly and totally approved Batistiano-approved genocide on masses of Cubans on the island. In 2020 Americans are not supposed to ponder what that means for innocent Cubans nor what it means for America. And that pertinent fact makes some Democracy-lovers worry about Little Havana someday taking over America...AND NOT JUST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

A USA Passion: Starving Cubans

A Few Heartless Miami Zealots Prevail!!

      Today -- May 28th, 2020 -- the unconscionable disgrace of the U. S. genocide against masses of Cubans on the island continued unabated, shaming Democracy-lovers around the world but mightily pleasing a handful of heartless Cuban-Americans basking unchecked in Miami, Newark, and the U. S. Congress while also saturating the Trump White House. In a world beset with major problems, Reuters today reported that much of the Trump administration was absorbed with continuing to starve Cubans in Cuba to induce them to overthrow their government and finally, after going on 7 decades, to allow the Little Havana Batistianos to regain control of the island they lost to the Cuban Revolution way back on January 1, 1959. So today Reuters reported:

          "The United States today imposed a cap on charter flights to Cuba at 3,600 per year, the U. S. Transportation Department said on Thursday, as President Trump's administration moves to curb the Cuba government's access to revenue.

        "The Department said on Thursday it will award about 3,250 of the flights for the 12 months ending May 31, 2021, to Swift Air LLC and World Atlantic Airlines.

        "Some 624,000 Cubans living abroad visited their homeland in 2019, of which a record 552,800 were from the United States."

     The genocidal Cuba Policy of President Trump is unique and reflects the iron grip that a few Batistiano-type Cubans have on the Republican Party. That should be alarming for Democracy-loving Americans and Cuban-Americans because the U. S. has a money-crazed Two-Party political system -- Democratic and Republican -- and it could evolve into a One-Party system, much like the U.S.-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba during the 1950's. Prior to Trump's amazing election in 2016, Democratic President Obama had been the only U. S. president since the 1950's to have the guts to try to really combat the Batistiano-Mafia dictatorial influence on either Cuba or the United States. And Obama had worldwide support to try to normalize relations with the Cuba and end the stifling Batistiano-imposed Embargo against Cuba that had started back in 1962. In his last gallant year as President, in 2016, Obama's herculean effort to end the Embargo got unanimous international support -- 191-to-0 -- in the United Nations. But the world's strongest DEMOCRACY was/is not strong enough to react to such UNANIMITY OF OPINION when the issue is Cuba.

     As President, Donald Trump has essentially taken an oath to Little Havana in Miami that he will be the president who will recapture Cuba for them. Thus, Trump has refashioned the greed-obsessed 6-decades-old Embargo into a genocidal Blockade. Yet, obviously because there have always been enough Cubans on the island who detest a return of the US-backed Batistianos, both the 6-decades-old Embargo and Trump's genocidal Blockade, so far at least, has been unable to recapture Cuba for the Batistianos.

     Considering the one-star Cuban flag to be a Batistiano flag, Trump has gone far above even all previous Republican presidents to bow totally to the dictates of the Little Havana-based Batistiano Cubans. For example, not even tightly Batistiano-aligned President George W. Bush activated Title 3 of the Batistiano-written and sacrosanct Helms-Burton Act because even Bush considered Title 3 to be too genocidal to impose on masses of Cubans on the island. But Trump in 2019 activated Title 3, apparently because he believes the Batistianos in Little Havana will reward him with Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes in this November's presidential election.

    Of course, only a few Cuban-American extremists in Little Havana and in Congress want the Superpower United States to impose an economic hardship on Cubans on the island and, surely, most Cuban-Americans don't want the United States to commit genocide against Cubans on the island. Most Cuban-Americans supported Obama's brave decency towards Cuba, not Trump's gutless indecency. Yet, back in the 1950's the U. S. democracy was not strong enough to prevent the United States from teaming with the Mafia to support the brutal and thieving Batista dictatorship in Cuba. And, in 2020, the U. S. democracy is not strong enough to prevent a handful of rich and powerful Batistianos from dictating total Cuban policy to another Republican president.

     Among the Cuban-Americans who want the United States to treat Cubans on the island with decency and to engage sanely with them is Frank Del Rio. As the President & CEO of the powerful Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line, Frank wholeheartedly supported President Obama's decency towards Cuba, including eager hopes by all U. S. businesses, especially in Florida, to engage with Cuba. Frank was so overjoyed that Obama had allowed cruise ships to sail from Miami to Cuba for the first time since 1962 that he cried when, while sailing at the front of one of his own cruise ships, he saw Havana coming into view. Great, decent Cuban-Americans like Frank Del Rio, however, do not have input into influencing Cuban relations whenever a Republican president is in the White House. And, sadly, both the American people and the mainstream U. S. media in the United States are too afraid of Little Havana to say or to do anything about this affront to America and to Democracy.

     Born in Cuba, Frank Del Rio's Norwegian Cruise Line is headquartered in Miami. Like most Cuban business leaders in Miami, Frank Del Rio craves doing business with Cuba.

     After Obama opened up business to Cuba, Frank Del Rio, in the above interview with Richard Quest of CNN, said, "We all have known that, if it was opened up by the U. S. government, Cuba would be the biggest destination in the Caribbean." But punishing Cuban-Americans, Americans, and everyone else, a handful of powerful Batistiano Cubans in Miami can thwart even powerful Cuban-Americans like Frank Del Rio.

      This was the emotional news conference in Miami that Frank Del Rio held just before he took one of his Norwegian Cruise Line ships to Cuba during the Democratic Obama administration. But Republican Trump's administration in 2017, controlled by a handful of powerful Counter Revolutionary Cubans, immediately began to end any commerce that might positively affect Cuba's economy, even if such commerce greatly helped thousands of decent and powerful Cuban-Americans such as Frank Del Rio.

    In all Republican administrations since the 1950's only lifelong Counter Revolutionary Cubans like Mauricio "Berserk" Claver-Carone are permitted to make Cuban decisions. Just how berserk is Claver-Carone when it comes to recapturing Cuba for Little Havana? When Little Havana's Marco Rubio persuaded Trump to put Claver-Carone in control of America's Western Hemisphere affairs, Claver-Carone's own hometown newspaper, the Naples {Fla.} Daily News, wrote an article entitled: "A CLOSER LOOK AT THE MAN ADVISING TRUMP ON CUBA." It said, "As a boy when Mauricio Claver-Carone played football at Bishop Moore Catholic High School in Orlando, if you ever mentioned Fidel Castro he would go berserk, according to Claver-Carone's close friend Farlan Bailey who graduated with Claver-Carone in 1993." Of course, all of his adult life, Mauricio Claver-Carone has remained "berserk" in his endeavors to recapture Cuba for his pals and mentors in Little Havana. Incredibly, in every Republican administration only "berserk" self-serving Counter Revolutionaries like Mauricio Claver-Carone are allowed to make decisions for the United States of America when it comes to Cuba.

  When President Trump pointed to Mauricio "Berserk" Claver-Carone and put him in total charge of America's Western Hemisphere Affairs only because Cuba is in the Western Hemisphere, Democracy took a huge hit in the United States. And, of course, that is vastly exacerbated by the fact that both the American people and the mainstream U. S. media {including the extreme left-wingers who detest Trump} are often simply too afraid to even discuss this dire affront to AMERICA and to DEMOCRACY.

U.S. Media Distorts Cuban News

It Must Be APPROVED By Little Havana?

    This week -- on May 26th, 2020 -- the massive New York Times had a major editorial entitled: "America Is Obsessed Witih Cuba. But What Do We Know About Its CITIZENS?" Interesting. The answer to the ? is...not much, unless Americans are allowed to have the freedom to go to Cuba and see it for themselves, which Counter Revolutionary zealots headquartered in Little Havana {Miami} and in the U. S. Congress deny or greatly restrict so as to keep control of the U. S. narrative about how GREAT the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship was in Cuba prior to 1959, till it then was chased to nearby Miami by the Cuban Revolution, and how TERRIBLE Revolutionary Cuba has been for all of these last 6+ decades. White the revolution changed Cuba drastically, it has changed the United States even more. That's because, while still supported massively by the world's economic and military Superpower, the Batistianos have, incredibly, not been able to recapture the island. Yet, they have grown incredibly richer with U. S. tax dollars and with U. S. laws, such as Helms-Burton, that they have been allowed to write themselves. In that milieu, after a revelatory visit to Cuba as a Democracy-loving American, I take the latest New York Times editorial about Cuba as evidence that even the extreme left-wing mainstream media in the U. S. is much too afraid to write honestly about Cuba because it simply is too afraid of Little Havana. That includes the New York Times, which began publishing on Sept. 18th, 1851, and for well over a century was a prime and influential news source. Recently, its undying determination to overturn the 2016 election of President Trump reveals the Times has evolved into a slanted purveyor of propaganda, the same as NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, and the Washington Post...a conspiratorial group of media left-wing extremists that control about 90% of the U. S. media, with the other 10% largely consisting of right-wing extremists that are just as dangerous but not nearly as powerful. THEREFORE, when you can no longer depend even on the iconic New York Times, Americans must realize they no longer can trust their media, which since 1776 had been a cornerstone and pillar of the U. S. democracy. So the New York Times this week posits that "America Is Obessed With Cuba" even as many other dangers such as a pandemic, global warming that is rising oceans to drastic levels, proxy wars, and threats of more proxy wars, etc. While the NY Times this week headlines about America's obsession with Cuba, it is not courageous enough to speak the truth, which is this: Little Havana ZEALOTS Remain Obsessed with Cuba While The Rest Of America Is Obsessed With COVID-19 And A MYRIAD Of Other Issues. However, the mammoth NY Times May 26-2020 editorial about Cuba would have been honest and courageous if it had pointed out that Little Havana's decades-old obsession with recapturing Cuba has reached deep into the bowels of the U. S. democracy, even threatening to consume it in the manner hungry buzzards consume a newly discovered carcass.

AND SPEAKING OF THE MEDIA, in the Western World there are four major News Agencies: New York-based AP; London-based Reuters; Paris-based AFP; and Madrid-based EFE. The best News Agency in the world is Reuters. Being based across the Atlantic in London, Reuters is competent enough and courageous enough to report concisely and honestly about Cuba.

    If you are an American and Little Havana will not allow you to visit Cuba to judge it for yourself, Reuters News is your best source for knowing what is happening on the island and how it impacts the USA, which is prodigious although HOW PRODIGIOUS is not reported by the U. S. media. But Marc Frank, Sarah Marsh, Nelson Acosta, and other Reuters journalists courageously report from the island, without indulging in either pro-Cuban or anti-Cuban propaganda. Today -- May 27, 2020 -- Marc Frank sent this article around the world: "Online Shopping Highlights Cuba's Inequality In Time Of Coronavirus." With his usual very precise insight and honesty, Marc Frank today gave us unbiased insight such as..."The pandemic has halted tourism in Cuba, slowed remittances and increased shipping costs...decisive government action has reduced new coronavirus cases to less than 15 per day...the Cuban state is seeking to encourage online shopping...yet many Cubans simply cannot afford the services...the government began setting important consumer goals for either dollars or the local equivalent, the convertible peso..."

     As a respected author regarding revelations about Cuba, Marc Frank as a journalist works for London-based Reuters, which means he has the freedom to write insightful and honest articles about Cuba. In my opinion, U. S. journalists should have the same FREEDOM that the great Marc Frank has...but Little Havana has the power not to allow that in the USA.

      In 2020 Cuba has the right to have Havana as its capital city. But the United States doesn't have the right to have Little Havana ACTING as its capital city or to continue ASPIRING to be the capital city of the United States.
