Who Dictates Genocide Against Cuba?

 Can Just One or Two U. S. Cubans Dictate It??

      On Dec. 1-2018 the BBC used the above Getty Images photo to illustrate an article entitled: "THE BUSH DYNASTY -- THE MODERN KENNEDYS."

     As shown above, the BBC article says that the Bush Dynasty started with industrialist Samuel Prescott Bush, the father of investment banker Prescott Sheldon Bush, who became a U. S. Senator in 1952. Prescott was the father of George Herbert Walker Bush who became CIA Director, Ronald Reagan's Vice President for 8 years, and then President for one 4-year-old term. It was the George Herbert Walker Bush who was the father of George W. Bush, who became President for 8 years, and his younger brother Jeb became a two-term Governor of Florida. Starting with George Herbert Walker Bush, it was the Bush Dynasty that elevated the exiles from Little Havana in Miami into a powerful economic and political power in both Florida and in the whole USA.

     The dynamic of the U.S.-Cuban conundrum changed dramatically when George H. W. Bush figuratively and essential anointed Jorge Mas Canosa the leader of the Cuban exiles in Miami, and thus for the entire nation. Mas Canosa was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1939 and fled to Florida because of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on Jan. 1-1959. Like other notable anti-Castro Cubans such as the famed & infamous Luis Posada Carilles, etc., Mas Canosa quickly was put on the U. S. payroll and sent as a soldier to the then secretive Army of the Americas at Fort Benning in Georgia. That is where, unknown U. S. citizens, that the U. S. had long-trained soldiers and police from U. S.-backed dictatorships such as Batista in Cuba, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Somoza in Nicaragua, etc. Like Posada and others, Mas Canosa left Fort Benning as a 2nd Lt. trained to joined the CIA-led Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba in April of 1961 that was supposed to recapture Cuba but instead made Fidel Castro, who led the frontline defense, more entrenched in his firm control of Revolutionary Cuba. After the Bay of Pigs debacle for Miami and the U. S., GHW Bush decided Mas Canosa could dictate the demise of Cuba in the U. S. while having the unchecked backing of tax dollars and others mainstays of the U. S. government. Quickly Mas Canosa quickly created massive jewels for himself and for Miami...such as the Cuban American National Foundation, Radio-TV Marti, the Helms-Burton Act, etc., etc. Long before 1976 when he became CIA Director GHW Bush, known to Americans as a World War II hero and oil man from Texas, had been instrumental in orchestrating and benefiting from anti-Cuban and pro-Little Havana/Miami projects. But anointing Mas Canosa as the Cuban dictator on U. S. soil was the major Bush Dynasty-Little Havana nexus.

      Thanks to the Bush Dynasty, Jorge Mas Canosa, the soldier from Fort Benning, quickly became a billionaire in Miami and his three sons, led by Mas-Tec CEO Jorge Mas, are billionaires today. Around the Miami area today there are many monuments to Jorge Mas Canosa in the form of prime schools, highways, etc., etc. Although he died unexpectedly of a heart attack in 1997 in Coral Gables, no other Counter Revolutionary Cuban in the U. S. has ever come close to the enduring power Jorge Mas Canosa had...and which to this day guides the ongoing, unchecked, lucrative and powerful Counter Revolutionary movement in the United States. From the 1950s {correct} till today {correct} the Bush dynasty reshaped the United States because of its tight economic and political alignment with extreme Counter Revolutionary Cubans from the Batista-Mafia dictatorship that the Cuban Revolution overthrew on Jan. 1, 1959.

    This 1989 photo pinpoints the indelible ties with the Busy dynasty and the most fierce Counter Revolutionary Cubans who had settled in the Little Havana section of Miami as the prime political forces in Florida, a prime state that has 29 vital Electoral Votes in presidential elections. The day this photo was taken in 1989 when young Jeb Bush had moved to Florida and, as Campaign Manager, used Bush power to put Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in the U. S. Congress from Little Havana-Miami. She was born in Havana and exiled to Little Havana with her powerful Counter Revolutionary family after the 1959 triumph of the Cuban Revolution. Obviously Jeb Bush considered her to be the most powerful Counter Revolutionary Cuban, and Jed latched onto her as his ticket to become the two-term Governor of Florida, which happened, and he expected that to be his pathway to be a U. S. President like his older brother George W. Bush and his grandfather George H. W. Bush, but that didn't happen.

    Once Jed Bush had used the self-serving Bush dynasty to put Little Havana's Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in the U. S. Congress in 1989, she remained there for 38 LONG YEARS as an ultra-powerful and unchecked Counter Revolutionary with extreme power over drastic legislation that helped Little Havana drastically while also drastically assaulting Cubans in Cuba. And as the photo shows, she soon began to make sure that the Bush dynasty helped her to also send other Little Havana extremists into the U. S. Congress, such as the two men flanking her in the above photo -- Havana-born Lincoln Diaz-Balart and his younger brother Mario Diaz-Balart, who have been in the U. S. Congress, together or singularly, since 1993 -- almost three decades. The Diaz-Balart brothers are the sons of Rafael Diaz-Balart who was an ultra-powerful and rich Minister in the Batista dictatorship in Cuba and, after the Cuban Revolution's triumph in 1959, became an ultra-powerful and rich Counter Revolutionary leader who quickly created in South Florida The White Rose, the very first Counter Revolutionary anti-Cuban paramilitary group on U. S. soil. And thus, while neither American citizens nor the American media are supposed to even mention it, Ros-Lehtinen and the Diaz-Balart brothers are unchallenged when it comes to dictating Cuban policies in Washington just as their father did in Havana. Mario Diaz-Balart is still in the U. S. Congress while both Ros-Lehtinen and Lincoln Diaz-Balart have retired from their long stints in Congress but remain powerfully committed to continue dictating the USA's Cuban policies from their South Florida strongholds.

      With supreme power in Little Havana after the Bush dynasty put her in the U. S. Congress for 38 years, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has been able to point to younger Miami Counter Revolutionaries that she has successfully mentored and steered into the U. S. Congress, such as Marco Rubio!!!!

      This photo shows a News Conference in which Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers, and Ros-Lehtinen ruled the day in outlining policies. Please understand, as a democracy-loving American I do believe that Little Havana Cubans should have a voice in the USA's Cuban policies, but I don't believe they should be able to dictate Cuban policies in the U. S. the way the Batista/Luciano dictatorship, supported by the U. S. and the Mafia, dictated things in Cuba back in the 1950s. For the situation in the United States whereby a handful of Cuban extremists {as depicted by the photo above} can dictate Cuban policies in the U. S. since 1989 is, I believe, as disastrous to most Cubans, Cuban-Americans, and Americans -- just as the Batista-Mafia-U. S. rule was in Cuba in the 1950s. During Trump's four years as President, he turned Cuban policies totally over to Marco Rubio, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Mauricio Claver-Carone because Trump knew all three were life-long extremists as Counter Revolutionary Cubans. During Biden's 100+ days as President, he has totally turned Cuban policies over to the Republican Senator Rubio and the Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, because Trump knows both of them have built their economic and political bases as Counter Revolutionary Cubans. So in America's money-crazed two-party political system, nothing changed after the Trump-to-Biden transition. In other words, in regards to Cuba, only a handful of U. S. Cubans are allowed opinions related to Cuba. Surely, the opinions of 11 million Cubans on the island don't count at all regarding the genocide endlessly aimed at them from Washington and Little Havana. And, in fact, the opinions of most Cuban-Americans don't count at all in the United States when it comes to Cuba.

     For example, Carlos Lazo is a Cuban-American professor in Seattle and he, along with many of his students, have ridden their bicycles the 3-thousand miles from Seattle to Washington to beg members of Congress and the Trump-Biden White Houses TO STOP THE GENOCIDE AGAINST CUBAN FAMILIES THAT APPEASES ONLY A SELF-SERVING HANDFUL OF U. S. CUBANS!!! But, within the bowels of the U. S. democracy, Carlos Lazo's opinion doesn't count at all when it comes to genocide against Cuban families on the island. On the other hand, the now propaganda-spewing but still powerful Washington Post, now owned by JEFF BEZOS whose stepfather was Cuban-born Miguel Bezos, allows the most extremist Counter Revolutionary Cuban dissidents to write massive Editorials but the Washington Post, as far as I know, wouldn't allow a great Cuban-American like Carlos Lazo to say a word or to be mentioned in a Washington Post article. That is one example of the low-esteem Americans now for the mainstream media in the U. S. where, at prior times, they were deeply respected.

    In the USA's two-party political system, Republican Senator Marco Rubio from Florida and Democratic Senator Bob Menendez from New Jersey in these last few days in May of 2021 are easily dictating the USA's Cuban policies that many decent people...surely 11 million Cubans on the island!!!...consider to be genocide against masses of innocent people in a tiny country being pounded by self-serving and not-so-innocent people in a much larger nation. Of course,  neither everyday Americans nor the mainstream U. S. media are supposed to care. Also, no one in the U. S. is supposed to notice that either Rubio or Menendez seem to always be the Chairman of the U. S. Senate's powerful Foreign Relations Committee...to better dictate policy against Cuba, which is, of course, now an independent nation that is not dominated by foreign powers like Spain {for over a century} or by America and the Mafia, at least till the Cuban Revolution triumphed on January 1, 1959. Periodically since 1959 the U. S. government -- meaning Congress and the White House -- allowed other voices to speak about U.S.-Cuban relations but mostly the long Bush dynasty -- which included three Presidential terms, two Vice Presidential terms, a very bloody CIA directorship, two terms as Governor of Florida, etc. -- self-servingly teamed with Counter Revolutionary Cuban extremists economically and politically. Importantly, the Bush power anointed Cuban exile extremist Jorge Mas Canosa as the Cuban dictator on U. S. soil, namely Little Havana in Miami. That soon resulted in Canosa becoming the first Cuban billionaire in Miami as well as the founder of ultra-powerful enterprises that massively enriched/empowered already powerful U. S. Cubans while also massively starving-depriving-and-making miserable the masses of Cubans on the island. All of this was orchestrated by the Republicans in the Bush dynasty and then expanded further by the Republican Trump administration from 2017 till 2021. But even the George W. Bush presidency, for example, refused to activate Title 3 of the Batistiano-orchestrated congressional Helms-Burton Act, which Canosa made sure would vastly enrich certain U. S. Cubans while vastly depriving Cubans on the island. But Trump did activate Title 3 although even President George W. Bush, and surely all decent people, believed it was too grossly genocidal to activate against Cuban families on the island. When the Democrat Biden replaced the Republican Trump as President of the U. S. on Jan. 20-2021, many people around the world believed that well-known Title 3 genocide against Cuba would surely be curbed or ended. But, of course, that hasn't and won't happen. As back as in the 1950s when the U. S. and the Mafia self-servingly supported the brutal-thieving Batista dictatorship in Cuba, and since 1959 has supported the Batistiano contingent feasting on Cuban bones from their strongholds in the U. S., the island of Cuba has been considered a piggybank for rich Americans and, of course, for the politically connected Batistiano-Cuban exiles who fled the victorious Cuban Revolution starting in the wee hours before daylight on Jan. 1-1959. In that constantly evolving milieu for over six decades, while also drastically reshaping the U. S. democracy into a Little Havana image, the U. S. currently appears to have two co-Cuban dictators -- Republican Senator Marco Rubio and Democratic Senator Bob Menendez. In other words, in a two-party political system, Rubio & Menendez now have all of their Cuban bases covered. Surely, although Republican Trump is no longer a factor, the Democratic control of both Congress and the White House is also a patsy for being dictated to by Rubio and Menendez. {P.S.: I am aware that it is generally too unhealthy for U. S. citizens and U. S. journalists to agree with anything that criticizes Little Havana's control of America's Cuban policies, but it would be, I think, interesting to see or hear the benefactors of such policies try to justify them!!}.

      As you see above, Rubio and Menendez -- taking advantage of having control of the USA's Cuban policies in both the Senate and in the Biden White House -- can easily dictate to President Biden's Secretary of the Treasury YET another policy to appease Little Havana while also trying to further starve Cuban families on the island. This, of course, has been going on for decades but now money-crazed Washington has recently become more-and-more at the unchecked mercy of the likes of Rubio and Menendez. What, you ask, can 330 million Americans who don't benefit from such policies but actually fund them do about it? In my opinion the answer is: NOTHING!!

     Back in 1952 a generation of Americans didn't object when the U. S. government teamed with the highest echelon of the Mafia to support the brutal/thieving Batista dictatorship in Cuba. Then that same generation of Americans didn't object when the leading remnants of the Batista dictatorship, chased off the island by the victorious Cuban Revolution, replicated Batista's Havana on U. S. soil in Miami, known as Little Havana. The great Editorial Cartoonist Carlos LaTuff is known worldwide for his depictions of the U.S./Little Havana genocide against Cubans on the island, as depicted above. In the United States of America, when Americans are not ashamed of the images of the USA shown above, I believe the USA's Cuban policies are as detrimental to America as they are to Cubans in Cuba. But as an American and as a democracy-lover, Carlos LaTuff's famed images of the USA's genocide against Cubans on the island do shame me!!!

      As shown above, Carlos LaTuff says that the U. S. is taking advantage of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic to further tighten the embargo against Cubans on the island. For a couple of centuries, the most democratic U. S. Democracy would have helped Cuban families on the island during such a pandemic as COVID-19. But...no more!! 

      As shown above, Carlos LaTuff says that the U.S. levies huge fines on foreign and U. S. companies that might do some business with Cuba, and that the U. S. routinely promotes people and countries that help the U. S. eviscerate Cuba while the U. S. also routinely PULL THE RUGS FROM UNDER NATIONS THAT MIGHT BE FRIENDS TO CUBA!!!

     With his emphatic international Editorial Cartoons -- and with a microphone -- Carlos LaTuff, a Brazilian, says that the U. S. Embargo/Blockade against Cuba since 1962 "has been 'legal' for all these decades because the rest of the world cowardly allows a nuclear and economic superpower to get away with it against masses of people in a much smaller nation. But being afraid of the U.S's economic and military power is no excuse."

     More and more people, it seems, are beginning to agree with Carlos LaTuff particularly now that the Biden administration in May of 2021 refuses to ease the genocide against Cubans on the island even while Cuba is trying mightily to produce its own vaccine to combat the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. In other words, there were times since the 1950s that decent people in the Democratic Party tried their best to ease or to end the Republican Party's self-serving genocide against Cubans on the island. But no more!!!!

BUT NO MORE

    Now, as far as Cuba is concerned, Marco Rubio is the Republican dictator of Cuba; and Bob Menendez is the Democratic dictator of Cuba. And in a two-party political system, I believe that is an ultra-undemocratic disaster for both the island of Cuba and for the United States of America!!!

UN Ashamed of US Cuban Blockade

 During Pandemic Especially!!!

     This week -- on May 12th, 2021 -- a joint News Conference at the UN in New York consisted of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres both expressing the UN's shame about not being able to end what they consider the genocidal U. S. Embargo-Blockade against mass Cuban families on the island. Lavrov said, "Americans are told that Russia, China and others each day commit genocide against masses of people in smaller countries. Of course, most of the world daily recognizes the daily U. S. genocide committed against millions of Cubans in their much smaller country."

     The leader at the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, said, "Even during the deadly Pandemic, the nations of the world cannot persuade the United States to ease, or hopefully end, its economic blockade of the Cuban people. Next month, on June 23rd, the nations of the world in near unanimity will yet again vote to beg the United States to end over six decades of its Blockade of Cuba and yet again the U. S. will again laugh at us and veto the will of the world. At the United Nations here on U. S. soil, our frustrations will again confront us on June 23rd, 2021. In other words, there is something very wrong with that picture."

    For many years, the graphic depicted above created by the great Brazilian Editorial Cartoonist Carlos LaTuff has circled around the world millions of times. It's message...urging the United Nations to persuade the United States to lift the Embargo against Cuba...has been unheeded for many years by the United States. Moreover, 330 million Americans are programmed not to be ashamed of this image of the United States democracy.

      During the 2020-2021 COVID PANDEMIC this Editorial Cartoon by the great Carlos LaTuff has also circled around the world millions of times, although the mainstream U. S. media is obliged to ignore its pertinent message. BUT THE MESSAGE IS THIS FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD TO UNDERSTAND: "The United States has taken advantage of the COVID Pandemic to expand its six-decade-old genocidal Embargo against Cuba."

      The Trump administration in Washington anointed Senator Marco Rubio as the Cuban dictator on U. S. soil. To the surprise of some, the Biden administration beginning on January 20-2021 anointed Senator Bob Menendez as the new Cuban dictator on U. S. soil to succeed Rubio. In other words, both Trump & Biden feathered their political nests by anointing the two most vicious and self-serving  Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Washington to dictate their genocidal Cuban policies. Unfortunately, no longer does the U. S. democracy have either a decent media nor a decent generation of Americans to act as a Check and Balance against such depravity as a Superpower committing genocide against masses of people in a much smaller nation.

      Of course, when the present generation of Americans are programmed to not be ashamed of this worldwide image of America, perhaps the superpower United States is actually in more trouble than poor and vulnerable little Cuba!!!

     Meanwhile, the world's best News Agency, London-based REUTERS, has three excellent and unbiased journalists who regularly report from Cuba, including Sarah Marsh. Thus, this international REUTERS article tells us that Latin America is hoping that Little Cuba is about to unleash it own COVID-19 vaccine.

Blockade + COVID Assails Cubans

 To Appease A Few Cuban-Americans!!

As Americans Programmed To Say "OK"

      Today -- May 12, 2021 -- even the New York Times used the article depicted above to join the chorus of major foreign newspapers to mention that the USA is taking advantage of the Pandemic to further expand its genocidal Blockade of Cubans on the island to appease a handful of Cubans named Rubio, Menendez, Diaz-Balart, etc. Meanwhile, 330 million Americans are programmed to support or condone genocide against masses of people in Cuba as long as it benefits or whets the revenge motives of a few "real nice" Cubans in the United States in Little Havana or in the U. S. Congress. At least this New York Times article today, written by Ed Augustin, had the guts to mention that the U. S. Blockade of Cuba is taking advantage of the Pandemic to further put the squeeze on Cuban families on the island.

       For showing some rare courage and integrity in reporting about Cuba, I guess the New York Times and Ed Augustin should be congratulated. In the three paragraphs shown above they implied that a handful of benefactors in a Superpower nation should not be allowed to take advantage of a deadly Pandemic to enlarge its genocide against innocent families in a much smaller nation, even if that nation is Cuba!!! Wow. {Now I'm wondering if the New York Times got permission from Rubio, Menendez, Diaz-Balart, and Claver-Carone before publishing an article today that shows a little compassion for families in Cuba that are facing the dreaded perils of genocide?}.

     Each day this week Cuban television has had to inform its viewers that the island is now having about 13 deaths {fallecidos} from the COVID pandemic. Until Cuba opened its airports to international tourism back on March 15th, the island was going days without any deaths from COVID. But now, I assume, the Cuban-Americans in the U. S. Congress and in the Biden White House are pleased to know that genocide related to their endless Blockade is severely assaulting Cubans on the island.

What Cuba Says About USA?

 Will USA's DEMOCRACY Ever Recover??

    As historically illustrated by the photo and graphic above, at least since 9:41 P. M. on February 15th, 1898 the U. S. democracy has been mauled by America's obsession with controlling Cuba, the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island. That was the exact moment when the warship U. S. Maine exploded while it was docked in Havana Harbor, killing 261 U. S. sailors. For months prior to the disaster powerful elements within the U. S. government and in the U. S. media had loudly lobbied for the U. S. to go to war with Spain for the purpose of acquiring possession of Cuba. Spain, which had owned Cuba for many decades, was at the time in no position to win a war against the U. S. in the U.S.'s backyard...but the U. S. and the U. S. media quickly and conveniently blamed Spain for the explosion. Some blamed an accident but the U. S. itself confirmed it was caused by a military mine. So, it surely wasn't an accident. And, surely the Spanish government didn't do it. Thus, in all likelihood the zealots in the U. S. government and the U. S. media finally got their wish to obtain a pretext, or excuse, to declare war against Spain to finally secure U. S. control of Cuba. Well, what about the 261 young U. S. sailors who perished? Collateral damage? In any case, the pretext related to the explosion of the U. S. Maine began the U.S.'s quest to become an imperialist power because it was the excuse for the easy U. S. victory in the Spanish-American War in 1898 in Cuba. In addition to Cuba, the U. S. used the Spanish-American War to also gain control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from Spain...but the pretext for the war was Cuba!!!

       On February 15th, 1898, with Spain's permission, the warship USS Maine was docked in Havana Harbor although Spain was well aware that the U. S. was seeking a reason to go to war to acquire Cuba. At 9:41 P. M. that night a mine below the ship exploded, killing 261 U. S. sailors.

     The devastating explosion that destroyed the USS Maine in Havana Harbor quickly spawned the Battle Cry "REMEMBER THE MAINE" that fueled the excuse for the Spanish American War, fulfilling the fervent wishes of prime politicians and publishers in the U. S. who had longed sought an excuse to go to go with Spain to capture Cuba. But, as you see in the historical report below, the "Propaganda of the Spanish-American War" revealed the fact, and exposed the iron grip that greedy politicians and publishers had around the throat of the U. S. democracy...and, unfortunately, still do.

     If you take a moment to read the accurate historical report above, you will see that the very first sentence starts with these accurate words: "The Spanish-American War {April-August 1898} is considered to be both a turning point in the history of propaganda and the beginning of the practice of yellow journalism." Americans, of course, have been programmed not to believe such honest sentences related to U.S.-Cuban relations, proving once again that Cuba, the Caribbean island, says a lot more about the United States than is says about Cuba!! Of course, the politicians and publishers who were/are responsible are never held accountable for atrocities such as...Remember the Maine; stealing the lush Cuban port of Guantanamo Bay from Cuba in 1903; teaming with the MAFIA to support the brutal-thieving Batista dictatorship in Cuba in 1952; allowing the most feverish Batistianos chased out of Cuba by the Cuban Revolution in 1959 to create Little Havana in Miami; paying, training, and providing Batista exiles to lead an air-land-sea military attack on Cuba known as the Bay of Pigs in 1961; paying and allowing two vicious and self-declared Cuban exile terrorists named Posada & Bosch to spend decades killing and maiming totally innocent Cubans; etc.; etc.; etc.; etc. Prior to and apart from its age-old thirst to control and dominate Cuba, of course, the U. S. democracy had never been involved in such nefarious behavior!!! And now, go back and closely read the long third paragraph that explains how the nation's two most powerful newspaper publishers -- William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer -- used their enormous power to salaciously and repetitiously use propaganda to guide the U. S. into seeking a pretext to provoke a war with Spain so the U. S. could finally get control of CUBA!!

      History correctly defines what Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst did to propel the U. S. into war with Spain so the U. S. could gain control of Cuba!! It was/is called "Yellow Journalism." And what Pulitzer and Hearst pioneered to drive the U. S. into war to get hold of Cuba in the 1890s is today called "Fake News." Unfortunately, "Fake News" -- what Pulitzer and Hearst invented as "Yellow Journalism" -- today saturates the mainstream U. S. media, especially regarding Cuba!!!

     This Editorial Cartoon shows Pulitzer on the left and Hearst on the right pushing mightily against other to see which of their powerful New York newspapers would lead the propaganda effort to get the U. S. to declare WAR against Spain so the U. S. could capture Cuba. Yes, history calls that tactic Yellow Journalism and, thus, Pulitzer and Hearst are attired in yellow clothing. The graphic above was appropriate during and after the Spanish-American War in 1898...but in 2021 such Yellow Journalism from the mainstream media is called "Fake News" and it particularly pertains to prime U. S. media promoting -- IN MAY OF 2021 -- the Biden administration's recapture of Cuba after allowing a little more time for Trump's genocide against Cuba to further soften up the Cuban people on the island. Of course, the pusillanimous and gutless generation of Americans who allowed Yellow Journalism regarding Cuba in 1898 is no different than the pusillanimous and gutless generation of Americans who are currently and sanctimoniously permitting U. S. genocide against Cubans on the island, a plague often promoted by mainstream Yellow Journalism/Fake News media outlets...such as the Washington Post!!

     Because the topic is Cuba, most of what Americans have been told about the 1898 Spanish-American War has been biased information. So, I suggest you take advantage {above} of the Age of Search Engines to learn about the historic truths regarding such things as...the Spanish-American War!!!

     The death knell of honest mainstream news in the U. S. media was sealed when the money-crazed U. S. government allowed even controversial but extremely wealthy individuals and corporations to purchase the nation's most powerful U. S. news organizations. Prior to that disaster, there were strict rules against such things, as well as monopolistic limitations. For example, Jeff Bezos was born to destitute teenage parents in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but when he was adopted at age four by a rich Cuban father he was on the path to Princeton University. He then used his father's money to start Amazon, and therefore today he is the richest person in the history of the entire world!!!

"What the hell....?"

      A parody or not, Jeff Bezos used some of his pocket change to buy the iconic Washington Post. As a liberal {My favorite President is Barack Obama and my least favorite is Donald Trump}, I was a lifetime very devoted reader of the Post...at least till it was purchased by Jeff Bezos and then transformed into nothing more and northing less than a richly funded extreme left-wing Fake News propaganda dispenser. Along with  corporate-owned extreme left-wing Fake News dispensers such as the NY Times, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, and ABC, the Washington Post specialized in Fake News to defeat Trump's reelection bid starting with the day Trump became President via the November-2016 election!!! While I am very much anti-Trump, I sincerely believe that the greatest threat to the U. S. democracy is the current status of the U. S. mainstream media giants, as named above, who now have collaborative and extreme and unlimited amounts of money that gives them the wherewithal to make the U. S. a one-party government -- namely, the extreme left-wing Democratic Party. I am a lifelong liberal Democrat but I believe the U. S. should forever remain at least a two-PARTY government. In other words, all aspects of the Republican Party must not be wiped out and all their backers should never be totally vilified and then demolished, which is now what the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post and the rest of the above-named media giants are in the process of doing. As far as Cuba is concerned, the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post allows the most vicious Counter Revolutionary Cubans to write prime anti-Cuban editorials, apparently because Jeff Bezos wants to please his very influential Cuban-American stepfather.

     In the 2020 Election that defeated President Trump and put President Biden in the White House, Americans are programmed not to believe that "FAKE NEWS & MISINFORMATION" -- as perpetrated by the ultra-rich and extreme left-wing media -- was responsible. But...it was. And so, the Yellow Journalism/Fake News phenomenon now saturates the mainstream U. S. media, and everyday Americans seem to understand that fact but most Americans don't feel they can correct it, although actually they may have a chance to address such issues in the 2022 Congressional elections.

      According to the U. S. government and according to the mainstream U. S. media, the only people who are permitted to discuss or influence Cuban policies in the United States are self-serving and extreme Counter Revolutionary zealots such...Marco Rubio, Bob Menendez, Mauricio Claver-Carone, the Diaz-Balart brothers, etc., etc. For damn sure, as far as the U. S. government and the mainstream U. S. media is concerned, Cubans on the island are never allowed to express their opinions. But, in the digital-social media-internet era we now know that Cubans on the island like Daily Perez Guillen do, in fact, have powerful opinions!!! As shown by her statement above, Daily believes that the U. S. Blockade against Cuban families is genocidal, illegal, and immoral. Daily is a journalist who supports the Cuban government and she says almost of all Cubans on the island feel that way. She points out that if that was not so the ultra-powerful exiles and the United States would have recaptured the island "long, long ago!!" Like most of the Cubans on the island, Daily is well educated. She maintains that the "the incredible amounts of money the U. S. government doles out to dissidents and would-be dissidents creates anti-Cuban protests and incidents but the everyday Cubans disdain such foreign money doing such wicked things." And Daily says, "The U. S. media claims Cubans on the island all want to get to Miami but the fact is, despite the genocide inflicted by the world's superpower, most of us will stay on the island and, if necessary, fight-to-the-death to keep the sovereignty that the Cuban Revolution finally gave us on January 1, 1959. Americans might not believe that but that is because they are lied to. But ask a smart and informed American, especially one who has been to Cuba, and ask them...uh, how in the heck has Revolutionary Cuba survived for over six decades? The reason....from the 1950s until today -- in May of 2021 -- there have always been enough Cubans on the island willing to fight to the death to make sure no foreign country -- or an entity like the U.S.-backed Mafia -- ever again controls us." Of course, Americans are programmed not to believe a thing that Daily Perez Guillen says...because she is a Cuban on the island and not a Cuban in the U. S. Congress or a Cuban in Little Havana USA/Miami. On the other hand, Daily Perez Guillen is well-educated, smart and she actually has opinions on the island. In that milieu, she has asked a pertinent question...you know, about "how in the heck has Revolutionary Cuba survived for over six decades?" And, uh...that's a good question considering that viciously determined Cuban exiles, backed by the strongest and richest nation in the world, have unsuccessfully tried for over six decades to recapture the pugnacious and much misunderstood island nation!!!! As a journalist in Cuba, working for the state, Daily says, "The internet and social media shows us that the U. S. media lies to its readers and viewers about Cuba and, I guess, about other things. We journalists in Cuba believe our readers and viewers and listeners are too smart to be lied to, so fake news is not our gig."

        The powerful international media giant El Pais, based in Madrid, echoes what Daily Perez Guillen said regarding Cubans on the island having opinions, including about fighting to the death to keep Little Havana and the U. S. from recapturing Havana. So, El Pais is a place Americans could get some real honest news about Cuba...as is the London-based BBC World News and the Paris-based Agence France-Presse {AFP}. For example, today -- May 7th, 2021 -- El Pais sent the above article around the world: "Cuba playing all or nothing amid urgent need for change." As you can see it is written by an honest journalist, Mauricio Vicent, who is stationed in Havana for El Pais. Such updated and honest journalism about Cuba by an international source is important.        As far as the U. S. Yellow Journalism/Fake News is concerned Carlos Lazo is a Cuban-American who doesn't exist...or at least doesn't have opinions. Yet, like most Cuban-Americans, he believes that the U. S. blockade of Cuban families on the island is illegal, immoral, and genocidal. Carlos Lazo is a Cuban-American professor in Seattle. He is famed for riding his bicycle, accompanied by some of his students, the 3,000 miles from Seattle to Washington to beg the U. S. Congress and the White House to end the Blockade against Cubans on the island. Carlos Lazo is ubiquitous on Facebook and other social media outlets, and he is a leader of anti-Embargo/Blockade street protests from Seattle to Washington to Tampa to Miami, etc. Of course, the mainstream U. S. is too yellow or too fake to even report that Cuban-Americans like Carlos Lazo exist. But...he does exist, and the mainstream U. S. media that caters to everything the Little Havana zealots maintain should have the courage and the integrity to tell about the decent and democracy-loving Carlos Lazo, a Cuban-American who now devotes his life to ending what he says is the cruel and genocidal U. S. Embargo/Blockade against innocent Cuban families on the island.

U.S. Terror Aimed at Cubans

 To Appease Rubio & Menendez!??!

     During the four months that Joe Biden has been the U. S. President, Democratic Senator Bob Menendez from New Jersey has been allowed to dictate self-serving genocide against Cuban families on the island. During the previous four years of Donald Trump's presidency Republican Senator Marco Rubio was allowed to dictate self-serving genocide against Cuban families on the island. So, nothing has changed.

        In other words, the Biden-Trump transition has not altered what the rest of the world considers legalized U. S. genocide against masses of Cuban families in a much-smaller island nation to appease a handful of controversial, but unchecked, individuals!! As of today -- April 29th, 2021 -- those are true facts although the incredibly biased mainstream media in the U. S. is too corrupt to report it and, therefore, a cowardly propagandized generation of Americans are too timid and ignorant to say anything about it. And, in other words, the US's money-crazed/two-party political system now controls both the Democrats and the Republicans when it comes to Cuba, meaning both parties are now dictated by Little Havana!!

      From Miami to all of America!!!

      And, YET -- as shown by the graphic and headline above from Bern, Switzerland -- the great democracies around the world strongly denounce the U. S. blockade against Cuban families on the island to appease the likes of Marco Rubio and Bob Menendez. The Swiss parliament, and others, are accusing the U. S. of taking advantage of the deadly COVID pandemic to further add pain for the innocent Cuban families on the island. In other words, Rubio & Menendez today remind some people and some governments of exactly what the U. S. allowed Fulgencio Batista and Lucky Luciano to do to the Cuban people in Cuba during the 1950's prior to the intervention of the Cuban Revolution on January 1, 1959. After all these many decades, the USA's Cuban policy has been aimed at enriching and empowering a handful of selected people!! At least sometime in 2021 it is time for the U. S. government, even during the most money-crazed cycle in American history, to finally show some mercy and pity on the masses of everyday Cuban people on their vulnerable island, an island that, unfortunately, has the U. S. as its neighbor.

World Protests USA's Cuban Genocide

  As A Pandemic Rages!!

     In this next to last weekend in April of 2021, the photo above shows two self-serving members of the U. S. Congress from Little Havana in Miami -- Mario Diaz-Balart and Maria Elvira Salazar -- holding yet another News Conference to announce they are sponsoring yet another congressional bill aimed at enhancing what many consider the genocide against Cuban families on the island to appease Little Havana Cuban-Americans in Miami. Mario Diaz-Balart's father was an important Minister in the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed dictatorship in Cuba in the 1950s and then after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on Jan. 1-1959 the father, Rafael Diaz-Balart, became one of the richest and most powerful Batistiano exiles in Miami, and in fact created the first paramilitary unit, The White Rose, to recapture Cuba. For the last 6+ decades, Little Havana has been unable to recapture Havana but for the past 3+ decades either Mario Diaz-Balart or his older brother, the Havana-born Lincoln Diaz-Balart, have represented Little Havana in the U. S. Congress...where they have been able to enact legal laws designed to benefit Little Havana while "starving, depriving, and making miserable" Cubans on the island. At this latest News Conference announcing the latest Little Havana bill in Congress, alongside Mario Diaz-Balart is Little Havana's latest edition to the U. S. Congress, Maria Elvira Salazar. Like the Diaz-Balart brothers, Salazar has been sent to Washington to seal Little Havana's agendas in the U. S. Congress. And the sad truth is, even with a Democratic administration ruling both Congress and the White House, there remains not enough courage or decency in Washington to resist this new Little Havana bill in Congress that Diaz-Balart and Salazar are shown touting at the News Conference above. And so, what if this new bill is clearly meant to continue to empower and enrich Little Havana Cubans while enhancing genocide against Havana Cubans?? NO PROBLEM!! In all likelihood, there is no longer enough courage or decency left in the money-crazed U. S. Congress to stop it!!

      Most people around the world believe that the U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE against Cuba constitutes "Genocidio," the Spanish word for "Genocide." But, of course, Americans have been programmed since 1959 that all the "nice" Cubans in Little Havana have the right to commit genocide against the "bad" Cubans in Havana...and use the incomparable power and wealth of the U. S. government to do it!! Of course, back in 1952 that generation of Americans was programmed to accept that the brutal and thieving U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship was the best government in the whole world and therefore extreme U. S. dollars and tourism should 100% support it...just as, since 1959, U. S. dollars and legal bills in Congress must support Little Havana, at least until Little Havana recaptures Havana!!

    But, of course, if this generation of Americans cared enough about their Democracy and about innocent people in Cuba, they might have the courage to read the article depicted above from April 24th, 2021...TODAY. It shows that this week in April of 2021 that cities all the world, as usual, are loudly protesting what they consider the U. S. genocide against Cuban families on the island to appease, enrich, and empower a few families in Little Havana.

    Now, IF I MAY, let's revisit that powerful News Conference in which Little Havana zealots in Congress -- Mario Diaz-Balart and Maria Elvira Salazar -- were this week touting Little Havana's latest Congressional bill designed to appease Little Havana regardless of whether the rest of the world considers it mostly just more genocide aimed at innocent Cuban families on the island. Of course, the Little Havana influence in Washington is now such that the U. S. democracy is now void of a mainstream News Media that has the guts or decency to ask the likes of Diaz-Balart or Salazar if they have any regard at all about Cuban families on the island!!

    This photo this weekend -- April 24, 2021 -- shows a protest in Italy against the genocidal U. S. Blockade against masses of everyday families in Cuba. As the aforementioned article depicted above showed, there are similar protests taking place today in cities all around the world!! Yet, the U. S. government, the U. S. media, and the U. S. people are supposed to believe this is not happening. OF COURSE, the American people and the American media are programmed to loudly denounce a China or a Russia if there might be a hint that those powers are committing genocide against masses of people in much smaller nations!!! But all the while all around the world TODAY, there are decent people protesting what they think is genocide being committed by the Superpower United States against masses of everyday families in a much smaller country, namely the island of Cuba!! It is therefore shocking to billions around the world that the U. S. democracy is either unwilling or unable to do anything about it!!!

THE POINT I MAKE IS THIS:

     In the United States of America in 1952 a few bad but unchecked politicians were allowed to align the world's greatest and strongest Democracy with the Mafia to support, strictly for greedy purposes, the brutal Batista dictatorship in Cuba. Since 1959, after the Cuban Revolution incredibly defeated the Batista dictatorship, Little Havana-USA, headquartered in Miami, is today increasingly unchecked within the bowels of the U. S. democracy because greedy {and revengeful} people predicate and frame the USA's dictation of Cuban Policies, which much of the world considers GENOCIDE against innocent and vulnerable masses of people in a much smaller nation, Cuba.

     The photo above shows precious children in Havana that are fiercely loved and fiercely protected by their parents and grand-parents, which means three generations of Cubans on the island that have faced genocidio to appease, enrich, or empower a few Cubans and their sycophants based in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress and in the U. S. White House. Americans are told that the perpetrators on U. S. soil are the "good guys." I am a democracy-loving American and I have been to Cuba, and I sincerely believe that the real "good guys" are the parents and the grandparents who are forced to protect children like these from the genocide that has been aimed at them from a far larger nearby nation for 6+ decades. And now,  in these final days in the month of APRIL-2021 it seems that the greed and the genocide keeps getting stronger and stronger in both Little Havana and, unfortunately, in Washington!!! Ponder that, if you will, as you gaze with unbiased and kind eyes back up at the photo of the Cuban children in the above photo.
