Little Havana Dictates U. S. Cuban Policy

 From Both Miami & Washington!!

     It was January 1st of 1959 when the Cuban Revolution overthrew the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. Batista, who had close ties to Miami, fled to Dictator Trujillo's Dominican Republic but many of his cohorts, including Ministers, quickly became powerful political operatives in Miami. Soon...Little Havana USA in the heart of Miami emerged as a dominant political forces in Miami first and then in all of Florida and then in Washington. Although such basic facts are routinely denied, it will very hard to deny in February of 2024 that Little Havana USA politicians in Miami and in Washington for decades have dictated the USA's Cuban policies.

     And, therefore, in February of 2024 the three very important historic images shown above are still factually true but routinely denied and totally distorted, especially by the mainstream U. S. media. For example...:

     The Wall Street Journal is by the largest and most read newspaper in the U. S., much larger than the NY Times, Washington Post, etc. But all of them have vicious and full-time journalists that routinely on a daily basis wildly defame Cuba and wildly promote the wonders of Little Havana USA. The wild and vicious WSJ Headline and Sub-Headline shown above is a flagrant example of typical U. S. media reporting on Cuba this first week in February of 2024...as the WSJ, on a massively important News Day in the U. S., wildly demeans Cuba with its claims about "apologists" for Revolutionary Cuba's alleged and rampant terrorism...but not mentioning vast real terrorism against Cuba.

    For example, the historic photo above is one that "apologists" for Little Havana USA, such as the Wall Street Journal, will never mention correctly. The photo above documents the day a Cuban mother and sister were at the Havana airport awaiting the return of their teenage son and brother from a Central American Sports Event. But the airplane -- known to history as Cubana Flight 455 -- was bombed into the ocean by a terrorist bomb, killing all on board including a couple of teenage athletes. Declasssified U. S. documents, as well as Google searches, readlily reveal the culprits/terrorists and other details related to the fate of Cubana Flight 455 but, of course, only in Cuba it seems are US-Cuba observers supposed to feel sorry for mothers and sisters at the very moment they learned that their son and brother had just been violently killed. But this photo, and others like it, forever freeze the facial expressions of that sister and mother at that fateful moment in time.

      In 2024 -- the 65th Year of Revolutionary Cuba -- many Cubans, Americans, and people around the world believe that US-Cuban Relations, both for history and topicality reasons, should be reported fairly. And that includes, I believe, that in February of 2024 that the six images depicted below should be reported fairly.

    In February of 2024 the six images shown directly above reflect a prime result of Little Havana USA's dictation of the U. S. policies related to Cuba. Since 1962, 62 years ago, the U. S. has maintained the economic Embargo/Blockade against Cuba that, as explained by declassified U. S. documents, still is trying to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans in Cuba to induce them to rise up and overthrow their post-Batista government. The Embargo/Blockade in February of 2024 has drastically promoted billions of tourism dollars for Miami but has drastically denied tourism money for Cuba!!! So, as you study the six images above, try to be fair about judging them. For example, note that the ultra-rich tourist mecca of Miami -- like all neighborly places except Cuba -- can depend on money from tourism, but the good people in Little Havana USA don't think the bad people in Cuba should have that capability.

     Yes, even the mighty Norwegian Cruise Line is headquartered in Miami as if to show that Miami loves to make huge amounts of money by transporting or flying tourists elsewhere -- all EXCEPT to Cuba!!!

Tourists leaving Miami can cruise anywhere except nearby Cuba!!

     But...it should be remembered that "before 1959" during the Mafia-Batista rule of Cuba the United States -- especially nearby Miami -- wildly sent tourists to Batista's Cuba to partake in spending money on massive Mafia lures such as gambling, drugs, prostitution, etc., etc. And then "AFTER 1959" the good Little Havana USA Cubans in Miami, for over six decades related to Cuba, have had different tourism ideas!!

In other words:

    Before 1959 Miami wildly promoted "Visits to Cuba" but since 1959 the leaders in Miami's Little Havana USA have been allowed to dictate the USA's Cuban policies, and that includes making sure tourism doesn't help the island's dire economic problems. "So near and yet so foreign!! 90 miles from Key West!! VISIT CUBA!!" If nothing else, please admit that prior to 1959 that Miami loved Batista's Cuba.

Little Havana Still Dictates USA's Havana Decisions

     It seems that since January of 1959 -- when the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by overthrowing the US/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship -- Little Havana in nearby Miami-USA has essentially dictated U. S. policies regarding Cuba...including the 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack, the 1962 till 2024 U. S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba, etc. And now in February of 2024 that situation seemingly continues unabated.

     Above today -- on February 6th of 2024 -- you can see the major Cuban Headlines that are flashing around the U. S. and the world TODAY!! Note that the AP, the USA's top News Agency, headlines about the drastic results of the depleted Cuban economy. Reuters, the vast London-based News Agency, today reports from inside Cuba about how the government and people are coping with the drastic turmoils related to the island's devastated economy. And The Hill, a powerful political media source in Washington, reports on the consequences of the USA's endless ultra-powerful actions against Cuba that have existed since...well,  since January of 1959 when Cuba overthrew the U.S.-backed and tourist-beloved and money-crazed Batista dictatorship. And, of course, the Headline shown at the bottom above is from the Miami Herald that only loves Miami's Little Havana and hates post-revolutionary Havana.

     Today -- on February 6th of 2024 -- the Miami Herald as always reports on the greatness of Miami's Little Havana and the deplorable nature of Havana. The massive new two-sentence Headline in the Miami Herald from Nora Gamez Torres refers to the latest extreme Counter Revolutionary member of the U. S. Congress from Miami-Little Havana -- Maria Elvira Salazar.

     Since Janiuary of 2021, Maria Elvira Salazar has represented Miami in the U. S. Congress. She was born 62-years-ago in Miami and was educated at the University of Miami and Harvard University. In the U. S. Congress she followed in the footsteps of other Little Havana/Miami politicians that have made to Congress -- such as, shown above, Havana-born Lincoln Diaz-Balart, whose father was a key Minister in the Batista dictatorship, as well as Florida-born Mario Diaz-Balart, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Marco Rubio, Carlos Gimenez, etc., etc. In other words, any moderate politician regarding Cuba will never be elected to serve in Washington.

    As shown above, before she made it to the U. S. Congress from Miami, Maria Salazar was, for a couple of decades, a powerful TV News Anchor in Miami and in that capacity she had famous interviews with notables such as Fidel Castro and Luis Posada Carriles, and to this day in 2024 those Salazar interviews with Castro and Posada are still easily accessed on YouTube for the world to see. Castro, of course, needs no introduction but Luis Possada Carriles, along with Orlando Bosch, are historically remembered as the two most famous and infamous U. S. and Little Havana Counter Revolutionary Cubans...eternal heroes to Miami and villians to Havana.

      Now as a member of the U. S. Congress, Little Havana's Maria Elvira Salazar can use her television expertise on National TV U. S. News Shows to endlessly promote Little Havana's massive views regarding Havana, and -- of course -- those views are routinely never disputed.

      But in Maria Elvira Salazar's backyard in Miami the Miami New Times -- as shown above -- reported about Salazar far differently than she was/is depicted by the Miami Herald and the national U. S. media. Enlarge and read the Miami New Times reports about Salazar shown above.

    And, meanwhile, the two images directly above reflect reality in Cuba today on February 6th-2024. That reality today includes, for sure, the U. S. Embargo/Blockade that has tried to destroy Cuba's economy for the past 62 Years, and another natural FLOOD on a street in Havana TODAY. In that vein, as shown below, the sophisticated Cuban Television News Shows are mainly focusing on the weather on February 6th-2024.

     And, in other words, on February 6th of 2024 -- as usual -- the News from Little Havana USA in Miami and from Cubavision Television in Havana are vastly different enterprises and objectives.

     And so...the fascinating Miami-Havana Soap Opera resembling As The World Turns continues on-and-on in FEBRUARY of 2024...AND NOBODY knows when it will end. {And that includes Little Havana's Maria Elvira Salazar}.

February 3rd-2024 is the 62nd Anniversary of the EMBARGO!!

BUT little CUBA calls IT A  BLOCKADE!!

    Today is February 3rd of 2024 and it was on February 3rd of 1962 that President John F. Kennedy signed and legalized the U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE against Cuba. It became legal shortly after the infamous U. S. military {Bay of Pigs} attack against Cuba in April of 1961 failed to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. Legalizing the EMBARGO/BLOCKADE became firm on February 3rd of 1962 when President Kennedy signed Proclamation 3447 and it remains legal on February 3rd of 2024, so today is its 62nd Anniversary.

   Made legal by Proclamation 3447 on February 3rd in 1962, the U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE OF CUBA today is celebrating its 62nd ANNIVERSARY. Declassified U. S. documents revealed that the purpose of Proclamation 3447 was to starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cubans in Cuba to encourage them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government, but because that has not occurred it remains in effect 62 YEARS later. That, incredibly, is true although the image above shames the United States internationally, as does the outraged yearly vote of the nations around the world at the United Nations in New York.

    As of last month -- January in 2024 -- Cuba is celebrating the 64TH ANNIVERSARY of the Cuban Revolution's astouinding victory over the U.S./Mafia-backed BATISTA DICTATORSHIP, which occurred in January of 1959.

    And today -- February 3rd of 2024 -- Cuba is marking the 62nd ANNIVERSARY of the day on February 3r4 of 1962 when the United States legalized Proclamation 3447, which legalized the Embargo/Blockade on Cuba...which incredibly remains in effect till this day on February 3rd of 2024 with absolutely no end on the horizon.

Cuba Makes US Headlines on February 1st-2024??

AMAZING!!! 

    Today is February 1st, 2024 and, incredibly, the US News Media is reporting on the grave economic conditions in Cuba despite the massive array of other mammoth domestic and international events facing the United States in a vital election year, such as Wars in Europe and the Middle East that directly involved the USA. But, Yes, today CNN News on its worldwide and internet forums informed the world about Cuba's economic crisis, which Cuba blames on the US tightening its already devastating six-decade-old Embargo/Blockade on the nearby vulnerable island.

     Incredibly today -- February 1st of 2024 -- from the U. S. CNN News is telling the world that Cubans, who have been targeted all their lives by a starvation-causing U. S. economic Embargo/Blockade, are now facing a skyrocketing "500% rise in the cost of fuel in Cuba." So, it is amazing that on the first day of February in 2024 the U. S. is reporting, or bragging, about the latest calamity for Cubans in Cuba?????

     For over six decades, since 1962, the U. S. economic Embargo/Blocade of Cuba has been legalized for the PURPOSE, according to delcassified U. S. documents, to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans on the island. That purpose has almost been realized previously but now is CNN News telling the world that it is finally happening?

     At least today, unlike normally in the U. S. media, CNN News today at least allowed comments from everyday Cubans as well as a comment from Cuba President Miguel Diaz-Canel about the island's dire crisis.
