Trump Begins 2021 Still Terrorizing Cuba

 During His Last Days as President!!

     Taking advantage of Donald Trump's final couple of weeks as President, it appears that the prime Counter Revolutionary Cubans who have directed President Trump's genocidal campaigns against Cuba -- such as Marco Rubio, Mauricio Claver-Carone, and Mario Diaz-Balart -- plan to order Trump "to designate" Cuba as a SPONSOR OF TERRORISM. While that is not quite as bad as persuading Trump to nuke Cuba, it is almost as bad.

     While most of the two-million+ Cuban-Americans desire to treat Cubans on the island decently, and want to be able to freely visit them and send money and gifts to help them, every Republican administration since 1959 has only permitted only extreme Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans to dictate the USA's Cuban policies. Under the Republican presidency led by Trump during the past four years, only extreme and self-serving Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans led by Mauricio Claver-Carone, Marco Rubio, and Mario Diaz-Balart have had input with Trump regarding his genocidal decisions aimed at Cubans on the island. And, as has been the case since the 1950's, three generations of cowardly Americans have not had the courage to inject themselves into this Mafiosi-like assault on the American democracy, not to mention on innocent Cuban citizens on the island.

     The two all-time top Mafia kingpins in American history were Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky. In 1952 the United States government teamed with Luciano & Lansky to support the thieving and brutal Batista dictatorship in Cuba. With barely a whimper from either the U. S. media or the U. S. citizens, the rape and robbery in Cuba by the Mafia and America was all about MONEY!!!!!!!

     Since the 1950's when the U. S. has badly needed honest and brave journalists and authors, only a few have had the courage and decency to tell the true facts about America's Mafiosi-like love of Cuba. Perhaps the great T. J. English did the best job of telling that important story in his incomparable book: "Havana Nocturne: How the Mob Owned Cuba...and Then Lost It to the Revolution."

     Even the famed Smithsonian Institute in Washington, as shown above, credits the great T. J. English for his honest and brave insights into how the Mafia, supported by the United States, plundered Cuba during the brutal and thieving Batista dictatorship from 1952 till 1959 till the Cuban Revolution chased the miscreants from Havana but they {and their loot} quickly created Little Havana on nearby U. S. soil in the heart of Miami. In the photo and caption above the renowned Smithsonian Institute explains that the Mafia and the U. S. government encouraged American tourists to flock to Havana in the 1950's to indulge in the prime Mafia sins of gambling, drugs, and prostitution. Yes, and from 1952 until Jan. 1-1959 top U. S. companies swamped Cuba so they could partake of the sweet, luscious pickings. In the above photo, the Smithsonian Institute shows that a Meyer Lansky casino in the Hotel Nacional was flush with eager tourists in 1957, and the caption says, "Meyer Lansky, who led the U. S. mob's exploitations of Cuba in the 1950s, set up a famous meeting of crime bosses at the hotel in 1946." Meyer Lansky was all-time top Mafia leader Lucky Luciano's top henchman. Americans, of course, are not even supposed to ask why the world's strongest democracy chose partners like Luciano and Lansky to join in the robbery of Cuba. After all, starting in 1903, the year the U. S. alone stole the lush Guantanamo Port from Cuba and put a powerful military base on it, the U. S. didn't need the Mafia to help it squander the island's natural resources.

     Also take a moment to study the Smithsonian statement above after it talked with the great T. J. English, who explained how, for example, "Frank Sinatra became a draw for mob casinos in Havana, how the Castro-led revolution in Cuba and its subsequent diaspora had a protracted, corrosive effect on American politics, and how the ghosts of the 1950s still haunt the streets of Havana." Of course, since the 1950s Americans have been told what a wonderful thing it was for the U. S. democracy to align itself with the Mafia in the 1950s in Cuba, and that Fidel Castro, Celia Sanchez and all the rebels who chased them out of Cuba were Satan-like villain's while all those Republican politicians and all those rich U. S. companies were heroes for helping the Mafia expand its piggybank in Cuba while raping and robbing the island at will...while being supported by the world's most powerful nation and by the world's most powerful criminal organization.

    This photo shows Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner in Havana on their honeymoon in 1951. Sinatra began his love affair with the Mafia kingpins as a young man in New Jersey. Many Hollywood stars and many Mafia kingpins loved and frolicked in Havana starting in the 1920's and the 1930's but it was in 1952 that Meyer Lansky, as mentioned famously in the famed "Godfather" movie, told his buddy Fulgencio Batista when they both had mansions in Florida, "You know, Fulgie, I've always wanted for the Mob to own its own country." Then, from 1952 till Jan. 1-1959, that is what happened, with the cooperation of the United States.

     Incredibly, while raping and robbing Cuba at will, the Batista dictatorship didn't think it was necessary to even toss a few crumbs to the non-Batista and non-Mafiosi peasants, not even to feed them, educate them, or provide them health support. That ignorance and brutality spawned the Mother Marches as shown above, which then spawned the Revolution. But neither Batista, the Mafia, nor the United States thought a little Revolution could defeat a powerful dictatorship supported by the world's most powerful criminal organization and by the world's financial and military superpower. But during the last two days of 1958 a rebel army led by Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos captured Santa Clara, the last major city leading to Havana itself. On January 1st, 1959, Batista was at a lavish New Eve's Party but he kept in touch by phone and radio with what was happening in Santa Clara. Shortly after midnight, he got the news that "Che Guevara has captured Santa Clara and will in Havana by daylight." Just in case, get-away boats, ships, and airplanes had already been stuffed with loot, including gold bars, and they began vacating Havana by 3:00 A. M. on January 1, 1959. Most of the Mafiosi headed for Miami and Batista's plane landed first in the Dominican Republic where the brutal anti-Castro/pro-U. S. Trujillo was the dictator. Other get-away vessels headed for Mafia strongholds in New Orleans, Tampa, Newark, and Nicaragua where the brutal anti-Castro/pro-U. S. Somoza was the dictator.

     This is the actual photo that shows Che Guevara after his rebels had just derailed an entire Batista train loaded with soldiers, weapons, and ammunition intended to defend Santa Clara. Then Guevara's rebels captured the city of Santa Clara. The definitive Bohemia Magazine then said Guevara told his top commander Camilo Cienfuegos, "Now we will just leave enough rebels to secure Santa Clara, and Fidel and Celia are making sure Santiago is secured. So now you, me and the rest of the us who just captured Santa Carla are going to race to Havana and hope those thieves and baby-killers will have the gumption to stand and fight us. Let's pray for that."

     The storekeeper-turned-rebel Camilo Cienfuegos replied to Che Guevara's order with these words: "Hell, yes!! Santa Clara was the last stepping stone to Havana. Let's hurry. Che, you think Batista's mafia soldiers will stay around to fight us now that they know what has happened in Santa Clara? God to mighty, do I hope so." The Che & Camilo quotes in Bohemia Magazine, which had a reporter with the column that captured Santa Clara, are considered authentic. Camilo Cienfuegos is still revered in Cuba as the commander who won such Battles as Yaguajay and Santa Clara on the path to Havana. Unfortunately, he died at the tender age of 27 in the crash of a small plane during a coastal storm on October 28, 1959 in the first year after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. To this day on each October 28th Cuban schoolchildren go to that beach to toss flowers in the sea and chant, "In our hearts, thanks always to our Camilo."

     This map shows the crucial rebel victories in the Battle of Yaguajay and then the Battle of Santa Clara on the road to Havana for the rebels. It was in 1957 that Celia Sanchez and Fidel Castro decided the rebels were strong enough, and that they had the support of the citizens, that they could begin to capture and then hold all the main cities between SANTIAGO, the former capital in the southeastern tip, and the current capital of HAVANA on the northwestern end of the island. And from the Sierra Maestra Mountains and Santiago, that is exactly what began to happen!!!

     And, yes, America...such decisions like when to begin capturing Batista-held cities and then holding them were made by Celia Sanchez and then always supported by Fidel Castro. This actual historic photo shows Celia holding a generator-fueled candle light while she plans a battle plan while Fidel reads. This photo was taken in 1957 in their famed cabin high up in the Sierra Maestra Mountains in the base-camp that Batista's U.S.-supplied war planes regularly flew missions to try to pinpoint, locate, and bomb. So, campfires and lights at night were carefully restricted by the rebels. This magnificent photo is an example of Celia Sanchez's prime decision-making prowess during the Cuban Revolutionary War.

    And this historic photo is one that you should surely also remember. It is an example of the basic fact that Celia Sanchez was still the prime decision-maker in Cuba after the war...right till the day she died at age 59 of lung cancer on January 11, 1980. Fidel Castro, shown in the rocking chair resting while Celia was writing down a decision that Fidel would later fully support, always said till the day he died at age 90 in 2016 that Celia was the "most important person during the war and in Cuba after the war." Fidel, of course, was correct about that but, of course, in the United States since the 1950s it is not healthy to say anything true about either Celia Sanchez or Fidel Castro. For example, the photo above...and the photo of Celia holding the candle in their base-camp bed...are both true and historical...so, uh, I guess you are not supposed to see them or study them.

   Yes, Celia Sanchez, as shown directly above, was a fearless Guerrilla Fighter. But she was much more. In Crucial stages of the war in early 1953 she was the most vital recruiter of rebels, weapons, ammunition, and other supplies needed to fight Batista. The first day Fidel Castro ever laid eyes on Celia, she gave him the telescopic rifle you can see above. But Fidel worshipped Celia long before he ever joined her rebels in the Sierra Maestra. That's because while Fidel was in a Batista prison from July-1953 until May-1955, he had heard all about what she was doing in the Sierra Maestra Mountains and its foothills. And till she died in 1980 of cancer and till he died of old age in 2016, Fidel continued to worship Celia and the Cuban ground she walked on.

       While most of the U. S. media is too afraid, too indecent or too incompetent to tell the truth about the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro was truthful when he maintained that the petite doctor's daughter, Celia Sanchez, was "the most important rebel" for her role as a recruiter of rebels and supplies, as a guerrilla fighter, and as a decision-maker. From 1953 until she died from cancer at age 59 in 1980 in Revolutionary Cuba, Celia Sanchez had been the prime decision-maker in Cuba during the Revolution and in Revolutionary Cuba, ALWAYS with Fidel's 100% support whether or not he agreed with her decisions. So...take a moment to study the photo above that shows Celia writing down a decision while Fidel is resting in his rocking chair...and whatever this Celia decision was it would later be made official law in Revolutionary Cuba by Fidel...the, uh, dictator but, uh, not the main decision-maker!!!!

      And therefore, Celia Sanchez is the prime person who saved Havana from the Mafia and she is also the person mainly responsible for the creation of Little Havana on U. S. soil in Miami. And therefore you should also know that she was the most honest and most insightful chronicler of the Cuban Revolution. So perhaps you  should study her quotations, such as the one listed above: "We rebels...get far too much credit for winning the Revolution. Our enemies deserve most of the credit, for being greedy cowards and idiots."

     Please study all these Celia Sanchez quotations because she knew more about the Cuban Revolution and Revolutionary Cuba than anyone else, including Fidel Castro...and she clearly knew more than the Counter Revolutionary Cubans she chased to Little Havana.

    Not only did Fidel Castro believe the Celia Sanchez quotes, but today most Cubans in Cuba believe them. And as you can see above, that includes today's Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel who was born after the triumph of Celia Sanchez's Cuban Revolution. And like President Diaz-Canel, you might recognize the poignancy and truth of Celia Sanchez's pertinent claim that: "Tired old rebels like me, I reckon, are still out-gunned and out-numbered. We can make history but we still don't get to write it." For sure, rebels like Celia Sanchez made history but the U. S. democracy has simply not been strong enough or decent enough to allow the real history-makers to tell their stories. But, of course, in America...even in the beginning of the year 2021...the Republicans and the Mafiosi can say or do anything they choose about either the Cuban Revolution or Revolutionary Cuba and the lies are readily shoved down the throats of Americans as pure gospel. And that is precisely why I say that the Cuban Revolution says more about the United States than it says about the island of Cuba!!!!!!!!!!!!

   The President of Cuba, the former Minister of Education Miguel Diaz-Canel, is strongly liked by a majority of Cubans on the island...and he was born after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. By contrast, in the U. S. neither the current President Trump nor the President-elect Biden can barely muster support from half the American voters who, in a money-crazed two-party system, often have to choose between the proverbial "lesser of two evils." And, uh, to some it appears that Little Havana as we enter the New Year of 2021 is looking more-and-more like Havana was in the pre-revolutionary 1950's.

Cuba Shuts Down U.S. Flights

 To Reduce Visitors Spreading Virus!!

      Starting back in March Cuba closed its borders to tourism and shutdown its airports due to the dire threats from the COVID-19 pandemic. But last month, believing it had a handle on the virus, Cuba reopened its airports and its most popular beaches, especially admitting the return of Canadian tourists. But, after its health officials noted an influx of positive COVID cases caused by visitors, Cuba this week again began restricting flights from the United States, Mexico, Panama, the Bahamas, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. The Trump administration, in its efforts to totally strangle the Cuban economy, had already blocked all U. S. flights to Cuba except for the airport in Havana...and during this last week of December-2020 Cuba has basically shutdown even those flights from the United States too. Monday Cuba had a new record of 224 cases and attributed 65% of those to visitors. One COVID death today -- Dec. 29th -- made a total of 142 deaths since the pandemic began. Cuba's total of 11,424 cases are also among the lowest in the world.

   All of Canada's major airlines...including its newest OWG and its biggest Air Canada, can continue their flights to Cuba under the careful new COVID guidelines allowed since the resumption of tourism to the island since last month.

     A new surge of COVID cases in Panama has prompted that nation to again call on Cuba for help. This photo shows some of the 220 Cuban doctors that arrived in Panama City this week to help that country battle the pandemic. Panama requested the total of 220 Cubans and then quickly announced it has divided them into "ten brigades" to help in its hardest hit areas.

     Back in October of 2018 Russia signed an agreement to help modernize the Cuban railroad system with Russia financing the much-needed $2.314 billion project. But this week Russia announced it is stopping the project because "of the COVID-19 economic difficulties and quarantine restrictions on the island. But we hope that the works resume after the situation has stabilized."

    But just last week Cuba's Minister of Transportation, Eduardo Rodriguez, welcomed the delivery of seven Russian locomotives in Havana Harbor. Rodriguez said the $2.314 billion agreement included the delivery of 75 locomotives and that 60 of them have now arrived in Cuba. And Rodriguez said, "And most of the 60 delivered locomotives are already participating in the main traffic of rail transport in Cuba, as are the modern air-conditioned passenger cars from China."

Journalism Inside and Outside Cuba

 An Honest Appraisal!!!

      There are many fair-minded and English-speaking journalists...as well as many Spanish-speaking journalists...that sincerely believe that the best and most honest journalist regarding U.S.-Cuban relations is a Cuban named Cristina Escobar. She is especially important considering that the omnipotent mainstream U. S. media appears too afraid or too incompetent to report insightfully or honestly about Cuba while on U. S. soil extreme anti-Cuban propaganda sources such as Radio-TV Marti in Miami, supported by billions of U. S. tax dollars for decades; Ciba Cuba; Babalu; etc., etc., etc. pump out self-serving fake Cuban "news" regarding U.S.-Cuba relations on a regular basis.

     In that milieu, it is refreshing to know that Cristina Escobar reporting from Havana remains the best and most honest journalist reporting on Cuba relations involving its superpower neighbor that happens to be just 90 miles across the Florida Straits. And from Havana she is considered honest and knowledgeable by everyday Cubans all over the island as well as unbiased outsiders...and she has reported brilliantly from London for BBC World News and now is a superb reporter for the multi-nation regional TeleSUR Network, and for the now influential Radio Havana Cuba international signal.

       Back in 2016 when U. S. President Barack Obama was trying to normalize relations between the U. S. and Cuba, President Obama knew that Cristina Escobar was the best and most honest journalist in the Western Hemisphere when it came to reporting on U.S.-Cuban relations. And that is how, as shown by the photo above, that Cristina Escobar became the first and only Cuban journalist to ask questions at a crowded White House News Conference in Washington. And that day Cristina Escobar, in perfect and poised English, dominated that News Conference by asking the four most pertinent questions, including a follow-up question about whether President Obama "will visit Cuba" while he was still President of the United States. Soon, Obama did that...becoming the first U. S. President to visit Cuba since Herbert Hoover arrived in 1928 in Havana on a U. S. warship.

      From her home in Havana, where she lives with her husband and their baby daughter, the photo above shows Cristina Escobar on a 15-minute broadcast on Christmas Eve -- Dec. 24-2020 -- on Radio Havana Cuba. It is, I sincerely believe, the best and most honest statement that any journalist today can make about the current status of U.S.-Cuban relations as, in these last days of 2020, the transition from the Trump presidency to the Biden presidency is about to take place in the United States. Cristina Escobar expertly discusses the past four years under President Trump, predicts the next four years under President Biden, discusses the genocide against Cuban families that Trump normalized when he insanely activated the "Title III" provision of the already cruel Helms-Burton Act, discusses how self-serving Miami Cubans in Congress like "Marco Rubio" can so easily orchestrate "Little Havana" legislation in Congress that enriches Miami Cubans but is meant to destroy Cuban families in Cuba, and she discusses how U. S. policies designed to hurt Cubans in Cuba also hurt "so many" of her Cuban friends and relatives in the United States, etc., etc., etc.

       In this last week of 2020, on venues such as "Escuchanos en VIVO" {"Listen to LIVE"} or "90 MILES PODCAST" you can hear the great Cristina Escobar's brilliant and honest updates on U.S.-Cuban relations heading into the New Year of 2021.

      Having lived and/or worked in cities such as London, Washington, and Miami, Cristina Escobar chooses to live in Havana with her husband and baby daughter while working for venues such as TeleSUR Television and Radio Havana International. As fluent in English as she is in her native Spanish, Cristina Escobar has unique expertise and inside knowledge of the contentious nature of U.S.-Cuban Relations at a critical juncture leading to the New Year of 2021. Cristina Escobar also is uniquely trusted by Cubans in Havana and 90 miles away across the Caribbean Sea in Little Havana...and, while deeply respected as a journalist by the Cuban government, Cristina Escobar is not adverse nor reluctant to criticize the Cuban government whenever she believes it is not prioritizing the needs and desires of everyday Cubans, including Cristina Escobar's only baby daughter. Therefore, the name to remember if you want true and honest insight into the intricate and updated rhythms of U.S.-Cuban Relations is Cristina Escobar. Otherwise you are probably getting your information about U.S.-Cuban Relations from the multitudes of biased, self-serving fake news sources.

Cristina Escobar pondering.

Cristina Escobar broadcasting.

US Mainstream Media Is A Joke

 Its Propaganda Includes Cuba Too!!

     The biggest threat to the United States and its Democracy, I think, is not China, Pandemics, Russia, Iran, Global Warming, etc., or even a combination of those things. Instead it is the ultra-rich and thus ultra-powerful extreme left-wing media. Yes, as it strives to make the U. S. a one-Party system, it is more dangerous than the extreme right-wingers {as well as the threats mentioned above} because it has so much more MONEY behind it. In recent years, as individual multi-billionaires and corporate multi-billionaires are permitted to purchase the USA's most powerful media companies, such giants as the New York Times and the Washington Post have evolved from being much-needed dispensers of valuable news into flagrant dispensers of self-serving propaganda that reflects the extreme left-wing views of their owners. For example, the top owner of the NY Times is Carlos Slim, the richest man in the history of Mexico; and the Washington Post is totally owned by Jose Bezos, the richest man in the history of the United States and the world. Beyond that...ultra-rich and ultra-powerful media sources dispensing forth only extreme left-wing propaganda, as opposed to news, include...NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, Vanity Fair, the Wall Street Journal, etc., etc., etc. Those once dispensers of real news and accurate information are now dispensers of only extreme left-wing propaganda that represent the extreme left-wing beliefs of their corporate owners such as...Comcast, Disney, Time-Warner, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc., etc., etc. For example, take the Headline and the Sub-headline shown below that led-off the type propaganda that Americans are now being saturated with!!!

      The once respected and powerful Wall Street Journal now is nothing more and nothing less than a powerful propaganda machine that dispenses the extreme views of propagandists such as Mary Anastasia O'Grady. It is true that Mary O'Grady for many years has been obsessed with dispensing propaganda extolling the extreme "decency" of the 1950's U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba while also loudly being obsessed with propagandizing the "indecency" of Revolutionary Cuba that overthrew the Batista-Mafia dictatorship way back on January 1, 1959. And now, as a prime example of once-great news sources that have been bought-up and made into extreme propaganda dispensers, Mary O'Grady can weekly use the Editorial/Opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal to dispense her extreme love of Batista's Cuba in the 1950s while also dispensing her extreme hatred of Revolutionary Cuba as it has been ruled since 1959. Mary O'Grady, of course, seems obsessed with claiming that Revolutionary Cuba REPLACED the GREATEST DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT in the history of the world, and that is the basis for her obsession of vilifying masses of innocent Cubans on the island whom Mary O'Grady believes should have NO OPINIONS about either Batista's Cuba or Revolutionary Cuba.

      Thus, the Wall Street Journal has the wherewithal to promote Mary O'Grady as a high-profile and unbiased expert on Latin America. And of course, she makes full use of that exposure to promote her massive love of the long-ago Batista government in Cuba while also promoting her massive hatred of Cuba's revolutionary rule since 1959. As in this week's Opinion/Editorial article, Mary O'Grady makes Super Heroes out of anyone who wants to destroy Revolutionary Cuba while also implying that anyone who has ever supported or said anything nice about Revolutionary Cuba is a Super Villain. And the point I make is this: Mary O'Grady's personal obsessions and opinions about Batista's Cuba and Revolutionary Cuba are now typical of the extreme propaganda in the mainstream U. S. media that now has replaced News and Information regarding what is being dispensed to Americans who are overwhelmed by propaganda shoved down their throats by ultra-rich media sources.

       For example, as you can see starting in the very first sentence of this week's "Opinion" article in the Wall Street Journal, Mary O'Grady makes "Luis Manuel Otera Alcantara" out to be a Super Hero in Cuba so she can quote him about saying terrible things about her Super Villain, who happens to be the late Fidel Castro as well Cuba's current president Miguel Diaz-Canel {who was born after the triumph of Castro's revolution}. So Mary O'Grady pretends that "Alcantara" has the absolute typical opinion of Fidel Castro and Diaz-Canel although there is actual evidence in Cuba that most Cubans consider "Alcantara" -- who is one of the leaders of the current well-funded anti-Cuban San Isidro "Movement" in Cuba -- to be an anti-Cuba villain. 

      I don't claim to know whether Luis Manuel Otera Alcantara is a valiant Hero or a bad Villain in Cuba, or something in between. But I do know he is an avowed dissident against the Cuban government and that he is one of the avowed leaders of the anti-Cuban San Isidro Movement in Cuba that Mary O'Grady apparently believes will finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. But to most everyday Cubans, as judged by their now ubiquitous Social Media accounts, Alcantara and his cohorts are considered more Villains than Heroes...and if Mary O'Grady refuses to mention that part of the two-part story, she is espousing only vicious one-sided propaganda...again. And as she writes about the San Isidro Movement as a new excuse to disparage Cuba, Mary O'Grady continues her unending role of trying to dismiss and starve everyday Cubans on the island.

      In public and on television Cuba's President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, regularly speaks to the Cuban people and often mingles with them at meetings and on the streets, as he did when he was their Minister of Education. While neither the USA's current President Trump nor its next President Biden have trouble mustering 50% support from the American population, President Diaz-Canel is strongly supported by most Cubans on the island. Americans don't believe that, of course, because such facts don't compute with the U. S. media's abiding love of the wicked regime that preceded the Cuban Revolution.

     For sure, mainstream media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, owned by multi-billionaire individuals and/or corporations, still have the resources to be valuable journalistic enterprises for the United States and the world. But they also have the monopolistic-like power to make high-profile propagandists such as Mary Anastasia O'Grady seem to be "experts" on topics such as Latin America and Cuba.

     So this week -- on Dec. 20-2020 -- the Wall Street Journal started off with a prime propaganda piece about the SAN ISIDRO MOVEMENT written by anti-Cuban propagandist Mary O'Grady. It purported to proclaim that...FINALLY...this revolt will overthrow Revolutionary Cuba because the majority of Cuban people on the island support it. But the proof is it won't overthrow the Cuban Revolution because the majority of Cuban people on the island believe that the SAN ISIDRO MOVEMENT is funded and influenced by money and Counter Revolutionaries from the United States, and therefore...except for propagandists in the U. S...the San Isidro Movement, like many others that have failed, will not overthrow Cuba's revolutionary rule. Lies touted by high-profile propagandists like Mary O'Grady has caused Americans to wonder how in the heck Cuba has survived all these decades since 1959 as a revolutionary and sovereign nation. The answer has to do with the fact, I believe, that there have obviously always been enough Cubans on the island who prefer revolutionary rule to the U.S./Mafia-ruled government that controlled the island prior to the Revolution. Perhaps if Mary O'Grady took time to ascertain the opinions of everyday Cubans on the island she would comprehend that fact instead of pretending that the only ones who have opinions about such things are Counter Revolutionary Cubans supported by the U. S. media and by Yankee dollars.

     The CUBA MONEY PROJECT blog, which is actually written by a brilliant and respected journalist named Tracey Eaton, who is now also a beloved Journalism Professor in Florida, regularly reveals in excruciating detail the truly staggering amounts of tax dollars regularly dished out to anti-Cuban dissidents and anti-Cuban Movements. Instead of being bombarded by propaganda from the likes of Mary O'Grady, perhaps Americans need to regularly dial-up the precise and updated statistics revealed by the CUBA MONEY PROJECT, which indeed are shocking...not just in how massive are the dollars but also to who they are routinely being given to!!!!

      Of course, Americans are now programmed to believe well-funded propagandists posing as journalists such as Mary O'Grady instead of depending on real journalist such as Tracey Eaton. Thus the latest propagandist piece by Mary O'Grady in the Wall Street Journal unfortunately usually trumps great journalism by Tracey Eaton. But for what it's worth...I return you to this week's best example of mainstream propaganda:

"This time will be different"

{But...uh...just more propaganda}

{Or will Cuba finally be recaptured}

Trump's War ON Cuba Will Endure

 Beyond Trump's Presidency!!!

      Today -- December 22nd, 2020 -- the above headline and sub-headline circulated around the world but won't get much traction in the United States. The American people have been programmed to ignore U. S. coups, sanctions, blockades, and other self-serving imperative involvements in Latin America, especially when it concerns the USA's favorite Piggybank -- Cuba!!! In the past four years during the presidency of Donald Trump, the most fierce and self-serving Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Little Havana/Miami and in the U. S. Congress have tried mightily to finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba while also trying to overthrow Cuba's three closest friendly governments in Bolivia, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. So, having no problem amassing untold tax dollars to engage such anti-Cuban endeavors, the most anti-Cuban extremists in Miami and Washington have managed to execute a coup in Bolivia that chased long-time Cuba-friendly President Evo Morales to first Mexico and then to Argentina for his safety. Then recently, when a somewhat democratic election was allowed in Bolivia, the Bolivian people voted to return Morales' political party to power over the U.S.-backed government that had just deposed Morales. As for trying desperately to overthrow Nicolas Maduro's Cuba-friendly government in Venezuela and Danny Ortega's Cuba-friendly government in Nicaragua, those two projects are still in progress and have been vibrant since President Trump four years ago turned over the USA's Cuban policies totally over to only the two most extreme Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans who are totally dictated to by Little Havana extremists.

     From Little Havana-Miami, Rubio can stay atop key Cuba-related committees in the U. S. Senate as long as he wants to be there but, always backed by billions of easy dollars, Rubio also again will try to become President of the United States via the 2024 election. Meanwhile the other Little Havana darling Claver-Carone, at Rubio's behest, was put in charge of the USA's Western Hemisphere Affairs department and then, incredibly, again at Rubio's insistence, Trump back on October 1st-2020 made Claver-Carone President of the powerful Washington-based Inter-American Bank that doles out millions of dollars to Latin American and Caribbean nations. Surely those additional dollars will now merge with millions of other U. S. dollars routinely devoted to trying to starve and overthrow Cuba while also being used to harm Cuba's allies and buying regional anti-Cuban friends for Little Havana. As intended, all previous Presidents of the Inter-American Bank were from Latin American nations but, from the U. S., Claver-Carone began his five-year term as President as a person with a well-earned reputation for a fierce lifetime devotion to recapturing Havana for Little Havana. Now, thanks to President Trump's past four years, Claver-Carone can continue his fervent anti-Cuban  quest even after the Democrat Joe Biden replaces the Republican Trump as President and Commander-in-Chief on January 20, 2021.

      In other words, with Rubio a fixture in the U. S. Congress as long as he desires and again backed by billions of dollars for his 2024 presidential bid, and with Claver-Carone in control of the Inter-Development Bank's domination of the region as depicted in the map above, Little Havana has more than just recapturing Cuba on its mind. Thanks to the legacy of the Trump presidency, Little Havana has Washington itself in its sights...now that Little Havana is the dominate factor in the region known as the Americas. If you doubt that, study more closely the two graphics shown directly above. THANK YOU!!!
