USA's Cuban-American Revolution

Folks, It's Gonna Turn Bloody!!
{Friday, November 9th, 2018}

    This week -- on November 7th, 2018 -- finally concluded the vitally important Mid-Term Elections that are changing America's political landscape. Big news, uh? Sure, but not as big as the media's left-wing/right-wing Tug-of-War that will determine whether President Trump's 4-year term will be eviscerated or protected. In that milieu, the image above in video form was what saturated the television "news" airways all day and night yesterday...and into the end of the week. It shows the latest confrontation at a presidential news conference between President Trump and the extreme left-wing news media's pugilist Jim Acosta. As the image above shows, and as the video shown hundreds of time on U. S. television revealed, Acosta's typical and intentionally provocative questions provoked Trump, who wanted to shut him up. The female White House intern, innocently tried to do her job and take Acosta's microphone and hand it to some other reporter, which is her job. But Acosta rudely brushed her aside and kept the microphone, typical of his antics that he well knows will get him tons of publicity and immense praise from his CNN bosses.

    Understand, as you study this photo of President Trump admonishing CNN's attack-dog Acosta, that I have never thought Trump was qualified to be President and I surely anticipated that he, merely being another Republican President, would reverse former President Obama's decent and sane Cuban policies. That being said, I blame the extreme left-wing media for putting Trump in the White House and, perhaps, getting him re-elected in 2020. Meanwhile, Trump has made left-wing Superstars out of media attack dogs like Acosta while their network bosses insult their viewers and readers by pretending such pundits-&-propagandists are real broadcast and print journalists.

   As shown above, when Acosta covers President Trump's speeches all around the country the overflow crowds blast him with signs that say "CNN Sucks" amid shouts of "Go home, Jim!" But hey!! Both CNN and Acosta love it and then play and re-play the video over-and-over. But...and here's the key...so do the three prime-time anchors on Fox -- Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. So, who wins such battles? Fox, because it has many more viewers than CNN...and the extremely influential Hannity and Ingraham also each have powerful 3-hour Radio Talk Shows each day, with Super Influential Hannity being heard on 570-or-so radio stations right before his highly rated 9:00 P. M. pro-Trump hour on Fox Television News. Acosta's father left Cuba for the USA in 1962 and thus Jim has had easy sailings since then, including his graduation from James Madison University in Virginia's plush Shenandoah Valley. As CNN's Chief White House Correspondent and Chief Attack Trump Reporter, Acosta works for a network that no longer hires broadcast journalists, only left-wing propagandists and pundits...including all anchors. But CNN is not alone in that drastic deterioration of the U. S. media because MSNBC and NBC are even worse while CBS, ABC, the New York Times and the Washington Post are just as bad on the left-wing front with Fox and other lesser outlets holding down the right-wing fringe. That situation on each side has about 10% of Americans as trained-seal sycophants but about 80% of Americans, the saner and more decent majority, are left out in the cold by both the U. S. media and America's money-crazed/two-party political system. BUT HOLD YOUR HAT AND STAY WITH ME BECAUSE NOW I'LL EXPLAIN WHY YOU CAN EXPECT A CUBAN-AMERICAN REVOLUTION THAT WILL NOT BE FOUGHT IN CUBA BUT IN AMERICA!!

     Instead of allowing moderate and sane input into the Left-Wing Media-vs.-Trump battle and in the Left-Wing Politicians-vs.-Trump warfare, only the media and political extremists are allowed to suck up all the oxygen, with the right-wing in both mediums just as bad as the left-wingers. I use the animated video-graphic above to make that point. Humberto Fontova was born in Havana in 1954 during the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship. In 1959 when the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by booting the Batistiano-Mafiosi factions back to U. S. soil, with their new capital being the Little Havana part of Miami, the recapture of Cuba was supposed to take only a few weeks...at most. That was almost 7 decades ago and the recapture of Cuba, which is still ongoing, has yet to be accomplished. But in all those decades, Batistiano-Mafiosi dictations of America's Cuban narratives and America's Cuban policies have been insanely close to 100% with only a smidgen of honest Cuban narratives or policies. Fontova, for example, is one of countless Cuban-Americans who have feasted economically in espousing the anti-Cuban narrative just as countless Cuban-Americans have feasted in crafting such insanely anti-democratic/anti-Cuban laws in the U. S. Congress and in all Republican administrations -- six of them -- since the 1950s. Fontova's extreme right-wing anti-Cuban propaganda is, of course, promoted by right-wing networks and newspapers but also by either intimidated or convenient left-wing outlets. Note, for example, that Fontova's extreme anti-Cuban right-wing spiel above was being aired "live" on MSNBC, an extreme left-wing propaganda network. But mostly in his TV appearances, books, speeches, and articles, Fontova utilizes extreme right-wing forums, such as the extreme Counter Revolutionary Babalu blog. And guess how much Cuban-American Humberto Fontova hates Cuban-American Jim Acosta? Well, about as much as Trump hates Acosta. In a major, fiery article on Babalu here's the way Fontova described yesterday's Trump-Acosta tirade at the White House:

           "Jim Acosta -- a sniveling, whimpering little wimp when interviewing Raul Castro -- bullies small female intern during White House Press Conference {so Secret Service revoked his press pass}. President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern."

      Now, folks, please know I would not have used that quote without telling you how you could go online and read it as well as the entire Fontova article yourself. And understand who Fontova is; all his adult life in the U. S., Fontova has unabashedly been an extreme Counter Revolutionary/Cuban-American extremist. He obviously hates Cuban-American Jim Acosta because Acosta is a high-profile enemy of President Trump. Now, what does that tell you? Well, it tells me that the Counter Revolutionary/Cuban-American extremists believe that President Trump is about to overthrow Cuba's revolutionary government, which has been the passionate goal of Fontova and other Counter Revolutionary extremists since January 1, 1959. So, study the animated video above...along with the other easily Googled data mentioned here...and then decide for yourself. And do you want my opinion regarding whether I think Fontova is correct about what he expects President Trump to at long-last deliver, which is the recapture of Cuba? I won't keep you in suspense, so here's my answer: Yes, I think Trump, under a policy currently being directed by Senator Marco Rubio and implemented courtesy of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, will by the spring of 2019 execute a coup against the Cuban government. I further believe it will be bloody and, while initially successful from the U. S. standpoint, it primarily will result in a second do-or-die guerrilla-fueled revolutionary response on the island and possibly off the island. Flooding the island with Walmarts and Amazon Distribution Centers will not deter the revolutionary fervor on the island that Trump-Rubio-Bolton-and-Pompeo have already stirred up in Cuba...despite what the likes of Fontova and Acosta foment in the already deteriorated U. S. media.

   The weaknesses inherent in the left-wing/right-wing takeover of the mainstream U. S. media is further exacerbated by huge amounts of left-wing/right-wing money, much of it from well-known multi-billionaires, that have funded major networks, major newspapers, and highly sophisticated left-wing or right-wing blogs -- propaganda machines, in other words. But Online there are a few places real journalists who happen to be extraordinary Cuban experts as well as democracy-loving Americans still practice honest journalism. Three of those safe, informative and fair-minded digital sources are depicted in the above graphic -- Along the Malecon, Cuba Money Project, and the Washington-based Center for Democracy in the Americas. The CDA is headed by a highly respected former U. S. government official named Emily Mandrala while the renowned Cuban expert and Pulitzer-caliber journalist Tracey Eaton, now a journalism Professor in Florida, writes brilliantly on the Along the Malecon and Cuba Money Project sites, just as he has written brilliantly on Cuban topics for at least 20 major media sources in the U. S., from NBC News to USA Today. In the last three weeks Eaton has posted six incredibly informative articles about a startling Cuban Piggy Bank awash with tax dollars being used by not just Trump's anointed Cuban dictator Rubio but by government agencies such as USAID, which both undermines the Cuban government and makes instant multi-millionaires out of very luckily chosen anti-Cuban recipients...all named by Eaton with their tax-dollar largess listed right down to the exact penny. Eaton, you see, is the best investigative journalist when it comes to mining the Freedom of Information Act for real names and real money attached to amazingly unsavory Cuban projects, designed to overthrow Cuba's government for sure but, apparently, mainly to enrich certain Cuban-Americans or their supporters. But even Eaton points out that bushels of Cuban-related tax dollars are also hidden even from the Freedom of Information laws. So, to back up that statement, I invite you to dial up those six Eaton articles -- the latest of which is dated today -- Nov. 8th, 2018 -- and then judge for yourself. Eaton himself, the renowned Cuban expert, is so shocked at the amount of tax money being doled out to anti-Cuban "partners-Contractors" that he opined, as you can read, that maybe he entered the wrong profession, honest journalism, while he could be worth millions if he had been a dishonest anti-Cuban in the USA. Democracy-lovers who study the updated aforementioned six Tracey Eaton articles, I believe, might cry when they learn from an unimpeachable source, Eaton, the incredible amount of tax dollars being doled out millions at a time to anti-Cuban extremists, money that possibly could be going above-board to decent and deserving projects. One lawyer, for example, was handed $6.4 million tax dollars by USAID because USAID knew it had sent the highly paid Alan Gross to Cuba to do illegal and dangerous work that resulted in Mr. Gross getting arrested. But just in the last few weeks Tracey Eaton has documented that USAID is still doling out tons of Cuban-related tax dollars. When you can use an excessive but secretive amount of tax dollars to pay someone like Gross to do illegal and dangerous work in Cuba and then pay his lawyer $6.4 million tax dollars because you knew it was bad and dangerous, I'd say your Cuban Piggy Bank is over-stuffed with tax dollars that tax-payers should be aware of.

    After serving 5 years of a 15-year sentence in Cuba, Alan Gross was freed because Cuba was willing to work closely with the U. S. when the U. S. had a decent and brave President, Barack Obama. While Mr. Gross was in the Cuban prison the U. S. government and media shouted loudly that Cuba had jailed him for no reason, although Cuba depends mightily on safe tourism and wouldn't have concocted such a lie. Back on U. S. soil, Mr. Gross and his lawyer quickly became multi-millionaires {via tax dollars} because the U. S. government couldn't deny Mr. Gross had been sent to Cuba on an illegal and dangerous mission. And, uh, guess what? Now today Mr. Gross doesn't blame Cuba and, in fact, has asked the Cuban government if he could return to the island as a friendly and fair tourist.

Unimpeachable journalist -- Tracey Eaton.

 Unimpeachable democracy-lover -- Emily Mendrala.

Impeachable left-winger -- Jim Acosta.

Impeachable right-winger -- Humberto Fontova.

USA Cuban Lies

And Why They Are Successful!!
{Wednesday, November 7th, 2018}

    As a democracy-loving American, I am ashamed at how America's Cuban policy, decade after decade, demeans both America and Democracy on a worldwide level more than any other single topic. It also explains why even the ultra-powerful left-wing U. S. media, which is trying so hard to eliminate President Trump, is too afraid to criticize Trump's most egregious action in the two years he has been President, and that is his anointment of Marco Rubio as America's no-holds-barred, tax-scamming Cuban dictator. Rubio is now, without any scrutiny from the mainstream U. S. media, cramming U. S. agencies such as USAID, the State Department's Western Hemisphere Affairs division, John Bolton's National Security team, etc., with only the most vicious all-time career Counter Revolutionary extremists -- from Mauricio Claver-Carone to Otto Reich to Tomas Regalado, etc., etc., etc. Along the way Rubio is being held accountable only by a handful of America's bravest and most decent journalists -- such as Ken Silverstein, Fabiola Santiago, and Tracey Eaton. Silverstein's undeniably brilliant and deeply researched article labels Rubio "head and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery;" Fabiola Santiago was born in Cuba and since 1980 has been a top anti-Castro reporter for the Miami Herald and now she's also the top Editorial Writer on Rubio's hometown newspaper. Ms. Santiago has sharply branded the self-serving Rubio as only caring about himself and his political donors and unconcerned about the welfare of most Americans, including most Cuban-Americans, and is particularly cruel in his cowardly assaults on innocent Cubans in Cuba; and Ms. Santiago has assailed Trump for putting Rubio in charge of America's Cuban policies. Tracey Eaton, a renowned and fair-minded Cuban expert and now a college Professor in Florida, has written six brilliant articles in the last couple of weeks on his Cuban Money Project blog detailing down to the penny, courtesy of data squeezed out of the government via the Freedom of Information Act, how Rubio is busily bestowing massive gobs of tax money on anyone and any group that apparently can even remotely convince him they'll help punish Cubans or overthrow Cuba...and also the undeniable Eaton research indicates Rubio is gifting old Counter Revolutionary mentors, such as Tomas Regalado, with lush anti-Cuban jobs and even HUGE tax grants to anti-Cuban extremists such as a former Chief for Staff for legendary Havana-born Counter Revolutionary Ileana Ros-Lehtinen who remains in the U. S. Congress from Miami's Little Havana since the Bush dynasty self-servingly put her there in 1989, though she is retiring after 3 lucrative decades representing Little Havana in Congress. Rubio's anointment by Trump -- as well as the recent brave journalism from Ken Silverstein, Fabiola Santiago, and Tracey Eaton -- help explain how the image above depicting the USA's evil and greedy designs on Cuba can exist -- decade after decade after decade. First off, the USA's two-party political system has evolved into a situation whereby both parties can be purchased by the highest bidder. And further, the greatest weakness of all for the U. S. democracy is the precipitous deterioration of the media, which now consists of left-wing propaganda machines or right-wing propaganda machines, leaving the 80%-or-so of moderate Americans out in the cold when they search for real journalists reporting real news that they so badly need. In that milieu, there is only one explanation as to why the left-wing media, clearly involved in a print-and-broadcast conspiracy to eliminate Trump at all costs, refuses to criticize Trump for his most atrocious behavior, which is empowering Rubio's "corruption and chicanery" -- as Ken Silverstein calls it -- on Cuban issues that grossly enrich selected pals with tax dollars while cruelly and unconsciously assaulting totally innocent Cubans, as Fabiola Santiago has bravely pointed out in the Miami Herald. Also, don't forget the six recent articles by Florida's most respected Cuban expert, Tracey Eaton, because they may make democracy-lovers and tax-payers cry if they happen to be concerned about untold gobs of Tax Dollars being doled out to selected people -- often the veritable usual suspects -- and to incredibly gross and stupid projects and excuses designed to hurt Cubans on the island for the purpose of turning them against their government and persuading them to condone a return of remnants of the Batista-Mafia thugs who brutally ransacked their island from 1952 to 1959. And with that backdrop, permit me to answer the question concerning why I think the mainstream left-wing media that hates Trump so much is afraid to criticize Trump for his most egregious action to date, which is anointing Rubio as America's first real Cuban dictator since the Bush dynasty back in the early 1980s bestowed the same mantle on the Bay of Pigs soldier/soon-to-be-billionaire Jorge Mas Canosa. I'll begin the answer to that question with the photo below.

    As a high-profile and highly decent Cuban-American newsman in Miami, Emilio Milian had the decency and the audacity to sharply criticize Cuban-American extremists for dastardly terrorist acts against totally innocent Cubans, such as the airplane-bombing of the child-laden {plus two-dozen teenage athletes} civilian Cubana Flight 455 in which all aboard were killed. At the time that Emilio dared to criticize such things, car-bombings were the favorite terror-tactic in Miami itself. And, of course, Emilio became the victim of a car-bomb. Such things, I think, sent a message to journalists that still resonates in the USA today, accounting, I believe, for the reason even the viciously hate-Trump media in the U. S. will not criticize Trump for the first thing he should be criticized for -- putting America's Cuban policy in the hands of the vicious but unchecked Rubio. 

     The mainstream U. S. media is so direly afraid of the Rubio-led mainstream Counter Revolutionaries that it won't dare report on or even discuss contentious Cuban issues.

    Yet, Cuban-born Fabiola Santiago -- the top journalist at the Miami Herald, Rubio's hometown newspaper -- has unveiled Rubio for the hypocrite he is.

   It was Fabiola Santiago who invited four young Cuban females on the island to use the pages of the Miami Herald to emphatically upbraid Rubio for the cowardly, cruel manner he is hurting their young families.

    It was the highly respected journalist Ken Silverstein who wrote the above very detailed and uncontested article that labeled Rubio "head and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it comes to corruption and chicanery." And, yes, this is the same Rubio from Little Havana that the mainstream media promotes as a choirboy in the U. S. Senate and as a viable presidential contender.

     Just about every major news organization in the United States -- from the New York Times and USA Today to NBC and even the Pulitzer Center -- have utilized Tracey Eaton's expert and fair-minded reporting on Cuban issues.

   Today Tracey Eaton is a Journalism Professor at Flagler College in Florida. For six years he was stationed in Havana as head of the Dallas Morning News bureau in Havana. He still travels back and forth to Cuba to do video-interviews featuring regular Cubans, dissidents, Cuban journalists, etc., for the Pulitzer Center and other outlets. He also has two blogs -- Along the Malecon and Cuba Money Project. If you care about America and Democracy, you may want to dial-up his recent six articles that, as I said, may make you weep if you care about America, Democracy, or your tax dollars. Tracey minutely uses fresh Freedom of Information data to document, down to the penny, the Cuban Tax Piggy Bank that, apparently, Rubio is using to lushly reward any person or any group that seemingly lets him know they will help hurt Cubans on the island or overthrow the Cuban government. You will note that those seemingly endless and highly questionable bundles of tax funds are listed down to the penny in million-dollar and multi-million-dollar "grants" to both well-known very questionable entities and sometimes totally unknown sources. And, as you dry your tears if you love Democracy and like to know how your taxes are being used, you will note that Tracey explains, while he has listed the names of many recipients of such largess, there still remain, apart from the Freedom of Information Act, many different ways the U. S. government hides many of its most expensive and controversial Cuban enterprises. And lastly, let me stress that in his long and lustrous journalistic career, Tracey Eaton has never been accused of being pro-Cuba or anti-Cuban Americans in Miami or anywhere else. He is merely a great journalist.

     The Trump-Rubio axis is both the strangest and the most dangerous alliance facing America today, more dangerous than alleged Trump-Russian or Trump-Saudi connections, for example. It's the strangest because they hate each other, and have since they called each other vile names back during the 2016 Republican presidential primaries. And now Trump knows the back-stabbing Rubio is more of a threat to the Trump presidency than even the left-wing U. S. media. So, how did the Trump-Rubio axis evolve into Rubio being anointed by Trump as America's new Cuban dictator??? Well, Trump agrees with the famous line Mafia kingpin Michael Carleone spoke in The Godfather II classic: "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." And that's why President Trump put two vicious anti-Trump foxes in his own hen-house.

    South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and U. S. Senator Marco Rubio viciously mocked presidential candidate Trump to whet their own Presidential ambitions...and they still hate Trump. But, remembering Michael Carleone's sage Mafiosi advice, Trump named Haley his high-profile Ambassador to the United Nations and he anointed Rubio the coveted and lucrative prize as America's new Cuban dictator, which as everyone knows quickly made Jorge Mas Canosa, the Bush dynasty's long-ago first U. S. Cuban dictator and one of the many South Florida Cuban-American billionaires.

    As America's newly installed Cuban dictator, Rubio is abundantly aware he has the support of President Trump who also happens to be Commander-in-Chief. But also, Rubio apparently knows he can dip as deeply as he chooses into the U. S. treasury for as many tax dollars...and don't forget the pennies that notable journalist Tracey Eaton has  also documented in the past month...to apparently fund anybody and anything that merely promises to aid his self-serving Cuban ventures. All the while, Rubio is totally aware that the fully intimidated mainstream U. S. media is his giant lap-dog and probably would afford the ego-driven Rubio whatever airtime or print-space he needed to, fully uncontested, explain his vile Cuban ventures, perhaps even the most vilest and least wiliest such as sub-fired nuke missiles. So, you see, the movie Godfather, Michael Carleone, and the truly brave and historic Cuban-American journalist in Miami, Emilio Milian, both help explain why President Trump anointed Rubio as America's Cuban dictator and why the mainstream U. S. media is much too afraid to hold Rubio accountable for anything he has done or will do in regards to Cuba, an island where about 11.2 million innocent people -- plus the U. S. democracy -- deserve a lot better than Trump and Rubio...especially in an era and environment when the U. S. media has neither the guts nor the integrity to question anything that relates to the evisceration of one particular island nation, Cuba.

     And most important of all, the image above needs to embarrass every American, including every Cuban-American. It is, in fact, the accurate world image of America's Cuban policy. Any American not embarrassed by this image, I believe, plays directly into the greedy fingers of Marco Rubio. The 1898 Spanish-American War, which the U. S. waged to take Cuba from Spain, was the "Remember the Maine" war because the pretext for it was the bombing of the USS Maine warship in Havana Harbor which killed almost 300 young U. S. sailors...and few historians believe Spain would have risked an unwinnable war near U. S. shores to do it. From 1898 till today -- in November of 2018 -- America's Cuban policy has been built on lies, including the 1903 "in perpetuity" theft of luscious Guantanamo Bay from Cuba; the Bay of Pigs attack in April-1961; the methods that got the infamous Helms-Burton Act passed and signed by a very scared President Clinton in 1996; etc.; etc.; etc. But the biggest lie of all is reflected in the famous Carlos LaTuff image shown above -- the Embargo that Cuba calls a genocidal Blockade. Here's why I make that statement. The Embargo was first imposed on Cuba in 1962 after the Bay of Pigs attacks, a deadly series of hotel and coastal attacks, and many assassination attempts had failed to recapture the island. For decades after 1962 Americans, taught that the U. S. was always the Good Guy, accepted the Embargo against Cuba...and, incredibly, they have accepted it even after the whole world condemns it and after de-classified U. S. documents confirmed the purpose of the Embargo, which was and is to starve, deprive, and make miserable the lives of  Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their government. And that is why I say that the biggest U. S. lie related to Cuba is not...the Spanish-American War, the theft of Guantanamo Bay, the Bay of Pigs, the Helms-Burton Act, or any of those extreme right-wing cruelties. The biggest U. S. lie related to Cuba is the Embargo that Cuba calls a genocidal Blockade, the Embargo-Blockade that former President Obama and the whole world tried to end. Yes, the image above from 1962 till today in November-2018 is the biggest Cuban lie in American history and it has been allowed to demean America's and Democracy's image around the world more than any other topic in America's history.

     This is a young, well-educated, and very talented television News Anchor in Cuba. Her name is Rosy Amaro. All Rosy's life and all her mother Carmen's life they have been unmercifully targeted by right-wing, unchecked thugs in a foreign country, the United States of America. Rosy has vacationed in famed European capital cities and she has close relatives and friends in the U. S. that visit her on the island, included a favorite uncle that arrives again later this week from the USA. But Rubio does not have enough tax or donor money to entice Rosy to defect to Little Havana or anywhere else in the USA.

     And Rosy Amaro has a precious, precocious, and gorgeous daughter named Mariana, who turned 5-years-old back in October. Like her mother Rosy and like her grandmother Carmen, Mariana has been targeted all her life by right-wing thugs hiding behind the skirts of the U. S. government. As a democracy-loving American, that undeniable fact shames and embarrasses me. And it makes me wonder why it doesn't shame and embarrass more Americans, especially sanctimonious and cowardly Americans who, like trained seals, are quick to condemn Russia, for example, for annexing Crimea or for pounding Ukrainians.

 This is Mariana with her grandmother Carmen, who is Rosy Amaro's mother. This photo was taken by Rosy on November 4th, 2018, in Havana. That was three days after John Bolton in Miami and Nikki Haley at the United Nations essentially declared war on Cuba on behalf of their puppeteers Donald Trump and Marco Rubio. Mariana, Rosy, and Carmen are typical of three generations of Cubans on the island who don't deserve to be grossly targeted by thugs from a foreign country like Trump, Rubio, Bolton, and Haley.

Dear Mr. Phil Peters

A Typical Cuban Exploiter!!

    Almost as cruel as the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia exploitation of Cuba on the island from 1952 till 1959 has been the exploitation of Cuba in the USA since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959. An example is Phil Peters. Routinely heralded and spotlighted as a "Cuban expert" by the lap-dog mainstream U. S. media, Peters is a prime Cuban Exploiter as a part of the vast and lucrative Cuban Cottage Industry that evolved in the United States almost as soon...in January of 1959...that the Batistiano-Mafiosi leaders in Cuba fled to their even-more-lucrative sanctuary on American soil.

    As media darlings always promoted as "Cuban experts," the Phil Peters-types should be identified correctly -- as "Cuban exploiters." Referencing Havana, Miami, and Washington, Peters has a well-funded blog entitled "The Cuban Triangle." His self-serving defense of Marco Rubio's new pick as the leader of Radio-TV Marti -- Cuban-born Tomas Regalado, Rubio's old mentor and a former Miami mayor -- is a joke, for example. On his blog, not only does Peters promote the well-known, tax-absorbing Piggy Bank known as Radio-TV Marti, Peters also promotes such projects as the Babalu Blog, which is another of Peters' favorite one-trick-ponies that are fiercely self-serving Counter Revolutionary propaganda machines.

     The exploiter Phil Peters often gets national exposure enabling him to pretend that "Trump's Cuba Crackdown" is actually hurting some of the Phil Peters business enterprises related to Cuba. But that too is propaganda designed to enhance his lucrative reputation as an unbiased "Cuban expert." The well-funded and well-promoted Phil Peters blog -- The Cuban Triangle -- had a world-wide Alexa Rank ranking of 13,450,089 on November 4th, 2018...and it did not have enough U. S. viewers to get anything but a "No Data" ranking. By contrast, this blog -- Cubaninsider -- on Nov. 4th-2018 had an Alex Rank ranking of 477,963 world-wide and 96,442 in the USA...although nations like France and Norway often have as many Cubaninsider viewers as U. S. viewers. Unlike Phil Peters and his luscious Cuban enterprises, I have never made a penny from Cubaninsider and I never will because, instead of being an exploiter, I prefer to present myself as an unbiased observer of the U.S.-Cuban conundrum. I also remain the only person who has ever written a word on Cubaninsider and never has anyone else influenced {or purchased} any of those words. I also don't want and don't need any promotions, but separating my blog from money-making propaganda machines seems important when I see that heralded, self-serving Cuban profiteers like Phil Peters promote other money-making propaganda machines such as Radio-TV Marti, Babalu, etc.

Putin Hosts Diaz-Canel in Moscow

The Discussion Was Acute!!
{Updated: Sunday, November 4th, 2018}

     Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, Nov. 2nd, 2018, hosted Cuba's new President Miguel Diaz-Canel in Moscow. The prime topic was U. S. President Donald Trump turning over America's Cuban policies to Counter Revolutionary kingpin Marco Rubio.

     Both Putin and Diaz-Canel believe that -- at the direction of U. S. Senator Marco Rubio -- in Miami on Nov. 1st-2018 John Bolton essentially declared regime-change WAR on Cuba.

     In any case, what John Bolton said Nov. 1st-2018 in Miami, standing beside a huge U. S. flag, will have dire ramifications in the U. S., Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua in the coming days...and perhaps throughout the entire Western Hemisphere and even might gather-in nuclear powers like Russia and China. What Bolton said in Miami Friday, Nov. 1st, 2018, surprised no one in Washington after President Trump recently installed Bolton as America's powerful National Security Adviser. Bolton, a longtime anti-Cuban zealot and a product of the Bush dynasty, is a well-known war-mongered extremist who has for two decades strongly advocated the overthrow of Cuba's revolutionary government. As long as Trump, now almost half-way through his first 4-year term as U. S. President, remains in office, John Bolton, directed by Rubio, will have a glorious chance to fulfill his Cuban dreams.

     This photo illustrates why all of Washington considers John Bolton to be a war-mongered extremist regarding Cuba and other small nations he deems to be unfriendly, or not bowing, to the USA. As President, George W. Bush appointed Bolton as the U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations. But it was only a brief "RECESS" appointment because Bush well-knew Bolton's appointment would not get the required Senate confirmation. But, as a typical Bush dynasty swipe at Cuba, Bolton only served briefly as UN Ambassador before he was withdrawn prior to a Senate confirmation hearing.

     But President Donald Trump, at the behest of Senator Rubio, learned that he could appoint John Bolton as National Security Adviser and Bolton WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE U. S. SENATE. And, of course, as the top NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, John Bolton has far more power to make war than he's ever had in his long Republican-powered right-wing career.

    This is Rosa Miriam Elizalde, the feisty boss at an important new television channel, Dominio Cuba. Rosa has already taken news crews to places like Lima, Peru, and New York City to send live reports back to the island on important trips by Cuba's new President Miguel Diaz Canel. Rosa was not too pleased with what she considered John Bolton's Declaration of War against Cuba in his Miami speech on November 1st, 2018. She knows, especially if Bolton is supported by nuclear weapons, that Cuba would lose but she wants Bolton to know that David-vs.-Goliath Cubans like her will "never surrender." The graphic below represents Rosa's reaction to John Bolton.

    Yes, every major politician in Washington knows all "about John Bolton" as the city's prime war-mongered extremist. As shown above, and as widely reported by the Russian media such as RT, Bolton made a trip to Moscow hoping to get assurance that President Putin would not get too angry if the U. S. executed a regime-change in Cuba. Bolton is direly afraid of two powerful nations, Russia and China, but he seems poised to recapture little Cuba as long as he believes Russia and China will not interfere, except with acceptable verbal denunciations. And never forget, Bolton's thinking is shaped by Rubio with the concurrence of President Trump, the unlikely U. S. Republican President who, truth be known, is the product of the other Party, the Democrats, taking a drastic left-wing tilt, a tilt that may get Trump re-elected in 2020.

    Immediately after meeting with John Bolton, Marco Rubio released, in Spanish, the above statement about overthrowing "el regimen de Maduro" -- "the regime of Maduro." That's because Venezuela's troubled and vulnerable President Nicolas Maduro is a close ally of Cuba. Rubio and Bolton, of course, have the exact same plans for President Danny Ortega in Nicaragua, another close Cuban ally. Bolton, an old-school imperialist right-winger, longs for the days of old when the U. S. had USA-friendly {but ruthless} dictators in Cuba {Batista-Luciano} as well as the Dominican Republic {Trujillo}, Nicaragua {Samosa}, Chili {Pinochet}, etc., etc., etc.....even it meant a bloody coup that killed democratically elected Chilean President Salvador Allende to install the U.S.-friendly but extremely murderous General Pinochet, one of the U. S. coups that still shakes all of Latin America although out-of-the-loop Americans have never held Nixon-Kissinger accountable just like they will never hold Rubio-Bolton accountable for what they plan now for Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua...three countries that have already experienced murderous U.S.-friendly dictators as have Brazil, Argentina, El Salvador, etc. But even in the Google era, Americans today are not supposed to research such dictatorships. {Disclosure: Every word on these Cubaninsider essays has been written by me, a democracy-loving American who believes, for example, that the still-living Mr. Kissinger should be asked about the 1973 coup that killed the democratically elected President Allende to install for 17 bloody years the murderous but Nixon-Kissinger-and-U.S.-friendly dictator Pinochet. And by the way, I never have made and never will make a penny on Cubansider even though it has received 3 offers in the past six weeks, one believed to be from a source wanting to shut it down but that source said it was impressed by its "international reach." On Nov. 3-2018, for example, Alexa Rank rates it #483,084 worldwide and #97,377 in the U. S. although nations like Norway, France, and Australia often have more visitors than the USA. I've never promoted Cubansider and no other person has ever contributed a single word or viable-usable suggestion to its content}. And now a closing thought on today's essay.

     In other words, President Trump seems perfectly willing to allow Rubio & Bolton to start an "easy war" against Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua in the belief that Big Boys like Russia and China will not intervene. But even so, the biggest losers figure to be the U. S. taxpayers AND the U. S. democracy. And sadly...because the topic is CUBA, the right-wing media in the U. S. will cheer and the mainstream media in the U. S. will not have the guts to question whatever Rubio & Bolton do to 11.2 million Cubans on their island.
