Cuba Predicts Caribbean War

{First Venezuela, Then Cuba}
    Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez for months has accused the Trump administration of planning military aggression to execute a regime-change in Cuba, using the turmoil in Venezuela as the "new, finalized pretext." And now, based on Cuba's Caribbean intelligence reports, Rodriguez this week updated those charges: "Cuba denounces the movements of special operations forces of the United States to the airports of Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and other countries in the Caribbean, without the knowledge of their governments. The U. S. is continuing the preparation of a military aggression against Venezuela with a humanitarian pretext and with Cuba as a prime target."
    While the tragic chaos plays out in Venezuela, the U. S. and most other nations recognize Juan Guido as President while Cuba, Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and a few others recognize Nicolas Maduro as President. Live reports by the BBC from inside the oil-rich nation confirm that food, medicine, and other necessities are direly lacking, creating an intolerable situation. At the moment, the Venezuelan military still supports Maduro but if that wavers, all hell might break out although a United States military intervention is the last thing almost every Latin American and Caribbean nation wants in 2019.
    This ABC News photo shows how the Venezuelan military has blocked the key bridge preventing the delivery of food, medicine, and other supplies from Colombia that Venezuelans drastically need. Yet, that is a humanitarian issue that is actually a two-sided story.
     For sure, on the Colombian side of that blocked bridge, there are thousands of boxes filled with food, medicine, toiletries, and others things millions of Venezuelans direly need, courtesy of the U. S. taxpayers. But if you study the above USAID boxes, you will see there is a problem, an historic one. USAID, for all the good it has done, has also done some despicably political things that every nation in Latin America and the Caribbean is well aware of...and that particularly applies to U. S. relations with Cuba. Maduro's excuse for not allowing the necessary supplies into Venezuela is that they would be distributed by the U.S.-friendly opposition leaders. If the U. S. aid and the threat of  U. S. military intervention were not involved, some more respected source like the European Union could possibly resolve the Venezuelan crisis with a minimum of bloodshed. But even the anti-Venezuelan/pro-U.S. Latin American nations are abundantly aware of bloody U. S. interventions in the region from Guatemala in 1953 till Chile in 1973, etc. And, unfortunately, even the most sanitized U. S. entities, like USAID, have been incorporated into such regrettable imperialist acts of the USA.
     There is no denying that USAID has aided needy people around the world. But there is also no denying, when Cuba is involved, that USAID has repeatedly been used by Counter Revolutionary extremists in the U. S. to hurt Cuba's revolutionary government and to both hurt and mock the Cuban people. Thus, it should be remembered that the Venezuelan turmoil, especially as far as the Counter Revolutionary USA Cubans are concerned, deeply involves Cuba. Any Google-search would reveal USAID's involvements in undermining Cuba and promoting a vast array of regime-change efforts inside Cuba...such as, for example, the expensive "ZunZuneo" scheme, the famous "Alan Gross" saga and countless other USAID Cuban enterprises designed to aid only the Counter Revolutionary forces, certainly not the Cuban people even when they have been massively harmed by disasters such as hurricanes, the recent tornado, etc., etc.
      The U. S. media, for the most part, doesn't have the courage to report on such anti-Cuban schemes as the USAID's expensive but laughable "ZunZuneo" assault inside Cuba. The photo above by Ramon Espinoso/AP was used by London's The Guardian to minutely detail "ZunZuneo" as a typical U. S. attack on Cuba and that article is entitled "US Secretly Created Cuban Twitter to..." It was created to induce young Cubans to "riot" as a "Cuban Spring" against their government and, of course, if the Cuba government resisted the U. S. military would be there to take care of the "bad guys. Of course, as far as the Cuban narrative in the U. S. is concerned, the "bad" guys aboard Cubana Flight 455 were the two-dozen teenage athletes who perished, not the "good" Miami/CIA guys who planted the bomb on the civilian plane. So, sanitizing "ZunZuneo" in the U. S. was/is par-for-the-course.
     It is, of course, Little Havana-dictated Republican administrations in Washington that skewer even segments of the U. S. government such as USAID into fierce and highly funded anti-Cuban enterprises. Therefore, for a Trump administration to be perceived as the broker of the Venezuelan crisis pitting the Cuban-backed Maduro against the U.S.-backed Guido is a military disaster WAITING TO HAPPEN...with Venezuela and Cuba being the first victims of such a vile intervention but the USA itself being the secondary and long-standing victim as far as reputation, blood, and torrents of money are concerned.
    This montage shows President Trump flanked by vicious anti-Cuban U. S. Republican leaders dating back to the 1950s. {Yes, the Bush influence pre-dates Reagan and, in fact, goes back to the 1950s}. In all that time, Latin American nations would probably single out 3 men as the most vile Counter Revolutionary war-mongering zealots ever empowered by these White House operatives, and those 3 are: John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, and Otto Reich. INCREDIBLY, President Trump has resurrected Bolton, Abrams, and Reich as KEY advisers and decision-makers regarding the Venezuelan crisis. By doing so, it is apparent that Trump assumes that all Americans and all Latin Americans are either total idiots or absolute cowards.
    Right-wing thugs in the USA in 1898 fabricated the Spanish-American War to gain control of Cuba but the United States never intended to make the nearby island a beacon for Democracy. From the get-go the U. S. mandated that its military could intervene even to back imperialist whims, such as the 1903 theft of Guantanamo Bay "in perpetuity." Thus, not unlike Spanish rule, using Cuba as a piggy-bank for selected Americans was and apparently remains far more important than democratizing the island.
     But the most indelible U. S. act related to Cuba came in 1952 when the top echelon of the Mafia was sicced on the island to enhance the U.S.-backed Batista dictatorship. The thugs in the Eisenhower administration who orchestrated that mission -- Nixon, the Dulles brothers, etc. -- of course, were never held accountable. In fact, U. S. propaganda from 1952 till today strictly blames the Cuban Revolution for all the island's problems and the USA has never forgiven Cuba for chasing the "Havana Mob" off the island in January of 1959 -- ALL THE WAY TO LITTLE HAVANA IN MIAMI, as it turned out.
    Of course, any fair appraisal of history would readily conclude...as the images above document...that the Cuban Revolutionary was direly needed to end the Batista brutality. The right-wing decision-makers in Washington were plainly stupid to have tolerated what made the Cuban mothers so angry, which was, as expressed by the mothers above, the routine murders of Cuban children supposedly to quell dissent. Of course, what the images above INSPIRED were the marches above that ignited and fueled the revolution that still echoes on the world stage.
    Surely the right-wingers in Washington who supported the Batista dictatorship in Cuba so rich Americans could partake of the thievery were also stupid not to at least toss a few crumbs to the majority Cuban peasants...and even provide them some shelter and food and maybe even a little health care and educational opportunities. But, as indicated above, the Batista supporters in Washington didn't think that was necessary because, after all, Batista was supported by the strongest nation in the world, the United States, and by the strongest criminal organization in the world, the Mafia.
    Today Americans except the thoroughly propagandized or the totally biased realize that since 1959 Revolutionary Cuba, in  sharp contrast to the Batista terror, has prioritized taking care of three generations of children.  Those who have visited Cuba and closely observed everyday Cubans, like me, know that to be true. Last week the 5-year-old ballerina above advanced to the second tier as a Spanish dancer. And yes, she represents how Cuba today...although embargoed since 1962 and otherwise assailed daily by the nearby Superpower...impresses visitors to the island with how its beloved children are protected and treated. Marco Rubio, currently in charge of how the Trump extremists are targeting the island, is, in my opinion and in the opinion of the mother of this little girl, simply lying when he maintains regularly on national television that he wants "to help" Cubans on the island.
     Beyond any doubt, the best quotation to describe the utter stupidity and greed of the Batista dictatorship in Cuba was both voiced and penned by Celia Sanchez, the legendary doctor's daughter who became probably the all-time most important anti-Batista rebel. In the above graphic, the Woman Project.org stresses that brilliant Celia Sanchez quotation, but I think it deserves being repeated: "We rebels...get far too much credit for winning the Revolution. Our enemies deserve most of the credit, for being greedy cowards and idiots." Surely, if you're wondering how a small island defeated a powerful dictator who was supported by the ultra-powerful United States and by the ultra-powerful Mafia, the best starting point for answers is the above quotation by someone who would know, Celia Sanchez.
     While the marches by the Cuban mothers firmly ignited the Cuban Revolution, it was the doctor's daughter, Celia Sanchez, who provided the decisive courage, the vital recruiting {of rebels and supplies}, the guerrilla-fighting, and  the decision-making that made the astounding victory of the Cuban Revolution a reality. A rebel who worshiped her, Fidel Castro, agreed with that evaluation...and so did Cuba's top historian Pedro Alvarez Tabio who said, "If Batista had managed to kill Celia Sanchez anytime between 1953 and 1957, there would have been no viable Cuban Revolution, and no revolution for Fidel and Che to join." Thus, I think it is appropriate that Celia Sanchez had the definitive quotation regarding her Revolution...although, of course, the "greedy cowards and idiots" she chased from Havana to Little Havana have dictated the Cuban narrative in the United States since 1959.
     On Jan. 11, 1980, Celia Sanchez died of cancer at age 59. By then she had also coined another definitive quotation: "The Batistianos will never regain control of Cuba as long as I live or as long as Fidel lives." Fidel somehow kept her prophecy alive for almost six decades till he died at age 90 on Nov. 25, 2016. Now in 1919 with the Little Havana/Batistiano-aligned Trump administration having replaced the decent Obama presidency, Cuba needs another Celia Sanchez.
      In February of 2019, is there another Celia Sanchez-type that might keep the Trump-aligned Batistianos from regaining "control of Cuba?" I honestly don't know. I think there is an impressive group of well-educated, sovereignty-loving females on the island today who will TRY to replicate what Celia Sanchez accomplished against all odds. But I...just don't know. Right now, surviving Trump appears to be a monumental task for the vulnerable island.
    During the pre-Trump Obama administration when the United States finally had a President with the guts and decency to challenge the vicious Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress, an extraordinarily talented Cuban broadcast journalist named Cristina Escobar set a record on U. S. soil. As shown above, she became the first and only Cuban journalist to ask questions at a White House news conference...and she asked six that day.
     As a brilliant news anchor, speaking in Spanish on Cuban television and in English on regional and international television when she is interviewed, Cristina Escobar is respected for her acute knowledge of U.S.-Cuban relations and she has been asked to speak on that topic at U. S. universities. When U. S. journalist Tracey Eaton interviewed her for a Pulitzer and YouTube video that evolved into a print article, Cristina made these indelible points: {1} "Cuba's fate should be up to Cubans on the island, not Cubans in Miami and Washington;" and {2} "Cuban journalists have more freedom to tell the truth about the U. S. than U. S. journalists have to tell the truth about Cuba." As a democracy-loving American, I, unfortunately, agree with Cristina Escobar. And that's one reason I believe that the Cuban Revolution, which chased the Batista-Mafiosi leaders back to the USA, says even more about the United States than it says about Cuba.

USA's Insane Cuban Policies

The LEGAL CRUELTY Is Stunning!!
{Thursday, February 14th, 2019}
     A top journalist at the Miami Herald is Nora Gamez Torres. This week -- Feb. 12th, 2019 -- her HUGE article included this exact sentence: "Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., confirmed on his Twitter account that Washington is preparing more sanctions against the Cuban government." A democracy decade AFTER decade since 1959 that permits biased and unsavory extremists like RUBIO to use the economic and military might of the world superpower to punish generation after generation of innocent people in a smaller, much weaker nation ceases to be a world-class democracy. Allowing RUBIO-types, decade after decade, to feather their political and economic nests on the backs and, yes, in the blood, of innocent people in a weaker country is both insane and insanely cruel. Yes, INSANITY permeates America's Cuban policy in a Democracy too weak to curb Rubio-style cruelty.
       Now also a Professor of Journalism in Florida, Tracey Eaton remains the USA's best expert on current U.S.-Cuban relations. His latest article this week -- on Feb. 10th, 2019 -- is entitled: "ONE SIDE WANTS PEACE, THE OTHER WANTS BLOOD."
     When Tracey Eaton, the USA's best expert on U.S.-Cuban relations, publishes an article this week pointing out the decent Americans, such as newly announced presidential aspirant Senator Amy Klobuchar, who sincerely seek "PEACE" for targeted Cubans, patriotic Americans should take note. But also, when a Tracey Eaton delineates the names of the usual suspects who want more-and-more "BLOOD"  from targeted Cubans, I believe Americans have a duty as human beings to likewise take note, especially when the gruesome blood-letting is being carried out in America's name and with American tax dollars. The Feb. 12-2019 Miami Herald that quoted the gutless and heartless Marco Rubio bragging and tweeting about more sanctions against Cuba; and the Feb. 10-2019 article by Tracey Eaton about the gutless and heartless Counter Revolutionary blood-suckers both remind me of the best quotation that has ever defined what the likes of Marco Rubio have been getting away with on U. S. soil ever since January of 1959.
     On June 15, 1992, The New York Times summarized a scathing Editorial with these exact words that, then and now, perfectly describe America's Cuban policy: "There is, finally, something indecent about vociferous exiles living safely in Miami prescribing more pain for their poorer cousins." That 1992 sentence describes Rubio today.
      Yes, every letter and word inside the quotation marks above are correct. On my Cubaninsider updates, I'm the only person who has ever written or influenced a word or opinion, and thus I've never made a penny off it because I want no outside influence. And I repeatedly suggest that readers use their Google-search engine to double-check every name or event I mention. For example, a simple Google-search of "New York Times Editorial saying there is, finally, something indecent about vociferous exiles living safely in Miami prescribing more pain for their poorer cousins" will quickly take you to that quotation above and the pertinent Editorial that featured it.
    The Miami-based Progreso Weekly astutely points out with the above graphic that Miami's self-proclaimed choirboy Marco Rubio -- now that he has been "TRUMPIFIED" -- is unceasingly "USING LANGUAGE OF DEMOCRACY TO SUBVERT DEMOCRACY." In other words, Rubio's usually unchallenged lies about seeking revenge on Cuba's revolutionary leaders is a cowardly attack on the island's 11.4 million totally innocent Cubans...who are far more innocent than Marco "Pinocchio" Rubio and his rich Counter  Revolutionary supporters.
     Even the Miami Herald has pointed out how gutless Rubio is when he insists he is only seeking revenge against Cuba's leaders when EVERYONE knows he is mostly harming the most innocent Cubans, namely the mothers trying to take care of their babies and children. Thus, the Miami Herald invited the young Cuban women above to write what turned out to be a scathing article that revealed Marco "Pinocchio" Rubio to be the deceitful liar just as he was depicted in Progreso Weekly. As you can see above, those young Cuban mothers begged Rubio to meet with them to at least hear their side of the conundrum. Of course, Rubio didn't have the guts or decency to do so.
     Yet, the "TRUMPIFIED" Marco Rubio can continue to squeeze the "blood" from totally innocent children, women, and men on the nearby island of Cuba. The adjective "TRUMPIFIED" is used courtesy of Miami's Progresso Weekly and the noun "blood" is used courtesy of Florida's top Cuban expert Tracey Eaton. Both terms are accurate.

Florida's Anti-Cuban Fanatics

Are Actually Anti-American Fanatics!!
     This quartet of anti-Cuban fanatics from Florida are shown standing in front of the White House after presumably huddling with the mallaeable President Trump to supposedly nail down permission to fulfill their lifelong dreams -- to finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. From left-to-right these one-trick-ponies are U. S. Congressman from Miami Mario Diaz-Balart; Florida Governor Ron DeSantis; U. S. Senator from Miami Marco Rubio; and former Florida governor now U. S. Senator Rick Scott. While the United States and Florida {in particular} have massive problems of their own, this shameful quartet is massively focused on recapturing Cuba, and fully believe with Trump as President they will accomplish that feat. Meanwhile, these one-trick-ponies react violently to even a minor headline that might reflect positively on Cuba, feeling put-upon if they can't dictate the entire Cuban narrative in the United States. I'll give you a fresh and LAUGHABLE example as they reacted to a British headline.
     The future King of England, Prince Charles, and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, plan to visit Cuba this spring. The aforementioned quartet of anti-Cuban one-trick-pony fanatics have reacted VIOLENTLY to the notion that Prince Charles will visit Cuba...stupidly trying to block that trip while ignoring any and all other problems the U. S. or Florida might have to extend their asinine dictation of Cuban issues to all other countries. Having gotten away with such egregious arrogance since 1959, these Batistiano-types are appalled if their United States fiefdom, or dictatorship, is not totally, even internationally, cruel and precise.
     U. S. Senator Rick Scott is the one-trick-pony who has shamefully assailed Prince Charles because the future King of England had the audacity to schedule a visit to Cuba for this spring. The buffoonish Scott is a Poster Boy...along with the likes of Jeb Bush...as someone with no connections to Florida flocking to Florida for political reasons...knowing that aligning with the most vicious Counter Revolutionary Cubans could be a political and financial windfall. Scott was born 66-years-ago in Bloomington, Indiana, and he was educated in Missouri. But as a  conveniently transplanted 100% Batistiano he was Florida's Governor from 2011 till 2019 and then became Florida's new United States Senator. In Washington, as indicated by the  microphone-hungry Quartet Photo at the top of this update, Senator Scott's primary or solitary role seems clearly to help Counter Revolutionary fanatics in Miami recapture Cuba while, of course, also meanwhile dictating the Cuban narratives in the United States. With utter but unapologetic shame, Scott fired off a scathing letter to Prince Charles denouncing any visit to Cuba by England's future King. "I urge you to reconsider...visit Florida...to stand by the people of Cuba..." YEAH!! Stand with the Counter Revolutionaries in Florida who continually tighten the embargo that back in 1962 was intended to starve, deprive, and make miserable the lives of Cubans on the island to induce them to overthrow their government...the same Florida fanatics who famously and historically feigned unawareness as famed Miami-CIA terrorists committed mass acts of terrorism against totally innocent Cubans in a civilian airplane, Havana hotels, coastal fishing villages, etc.,...the same Florida fanatics who, like out-of-stater Scott, have gotten rich and powerful waging war and terror against Cubans {like Miami newsman Emilio Milian} since 1959. Understanding that Florida's politics are unique is simply no excuse for the rest of the American democracy not to be able to even remotely restrain a one-trick manipulator-benefactor like Rick Scott, and such weakness bespeaks of an American rather than just a Cuban problem. If Prince Charles is afraid of Rick Scott, THAN GOD HELP ENGLAND TOO...but I imagine the Brits have more courage than Americans.
     One thing that appears evident is the fact that this quartet of one-trick-ponies can scare President Trump and the mainstream U. S. media. So it's not surprising that these bullies, hiding behind the skirts of the world Superpower, feel free to bully Brits like they bully Americans.

Rubio's American Shame

Brutal, Unchecked, Relentless!!
{Undemocratic, Cruel, AND STUPID}
{Sunday, February 10th, 2018}
     On this second weekend of February, 2019, every young mother on the island of Cuba is abundantly aware of what awaits them between now and this coming spring. They expect a military attack from the nearby world superpower, the United States. Additionally, they realize that the anointed director of that impending disaster is merely a lightweight, unsavory, propped-up politician from Little Havana in Miami -- Marco Rubio, a prime benefactor of the post-Obama Trump presidency and of the scared mainstream U. S. media that is afraid to challenge any Little Havana cruelty directed at innocent Cubans on the island, including children like the very precious Mariana, shown above clinging tightly to her mother Rosy Amaro Perez.
     To Rubio's chagrin, there was a moment of Mother-Daughter happiness in Havana lat night -- Feb. 9th, 2019. That is reflected by Rosy's photo above that chronicles a program that featured her 5-year-old daughter -- "my Spanish dancer, my Mariana." And Rosy, on her Facebook page, said she was so excited she "had no time for photos, just this unfocused image. I was so happy because I was by her side. I dressed her, combed her hair, made her up...always happy because I was growing together with her, my Mariana." Those words...this photo...document a basic fact: Even hiding behind the skirts of the world superpower, Rubio was not able to deter a brief moment of happiness in Havana last night. That, for sure, is only the calm before the storm...but at least it's something. And therefore it's worth mentioning, I think.
     Fully aware that Marco Rubio's nefarious regime-change plans for Cuba are moving full-bore ahead, and expedited by the acute Venezuelan crisis, Rosy Amaro admits it is "difficult" to try to explain to her 5-year-old Mariana how a few revengeful and greedy extremists in Miami can spend 6+ decades targeting generation-after-generation of Cuban children. But Rosy understands that her own mother, Carmen, also had a "tough time" trying to explain such things when Rosy was Mariana's age. The three-generational crisis in Cuba, of course, says more about the Batistiano-fueled deterioration of the U. S. democracy than it says about the pugnacious resistance in Cuba.
     Regardless of how it might appear to be at times, most Americans and most Cuban-Americans are still decent and honorable people who care deeply about children, and not just their own. Yet, in the world's most famous democracy, a Marco Rubio is allowed...by the United States government and by the mainstream United States media...to dictate Cuban policies and narratives that most of all show no respect and no regard for Rosy Amaro's 5-year-old Mariana in Havana. If Russia, for example, was doing this to a 5-year-old Ukrainian girl, sanctimonious Americans would be continuously screaming to the high heavens.
      A precious little girl that is deeply loved in Cuba should not be targeted by a handful of unscrupulous politicians in a foreign, much more powerful nation. Mariana vs. Rubio is grossly unfair.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

An Ephemeral Sign of Hope!!
       A few hours ago this rainbow appeared briefly over the sea outside Havana. It was photographed by Daily Perez Guillen, a superb young journalist at Cubavision International. Daily's Facebook description of this photo says a lot more about what's happening in Cuba than all the articles you might read this weekend. Daily described it this way: "Que toda esa luz venga a nosotros como un barrdor de tristezas." {"May all that light come to us as a sweeper of sorrows."}. In other words, that ephemeral rainbow for a few moments in time represented a brief ray of hope for Daily. All this week Cuba has been trying to recover from the tornado that killed 6 people while destroying or severely damaging over 3,200 homes in Havana. But also Daily and almost every adult Cuban on the island is convinced that President Trump is allowing Marco Rubio & John Bolton to attack Cuba between now and April using the turmoil and quagmire in Venezuela as their long-sought excuse. And Daily along with other Cubans are not just expecting attacks from the ever-tightening U. S. sanctions but...this time...an attack from ultra-modern U. S. military weapons, a virtual Bay of Pigs on steroids.
    While working full-time as a skilled broadcast journalist in Havana, Daily Perez Guillen is also the loving mother of two precious young children, a boy and a girl. As a democracy-loving American, I am glad that Daily, a few hours ago, found some comfort in that rainbow that shone briefly over the sea back toward the Florida Keys. Daily, you see, is a far more decent human being than unchecked miscreants like Rubio & Bolton who are dire threats to Daily's two young children. In fact, I believe Daily is a far superior human being than the working mothers in the USA who don't care what Rubio & Bolton have planned for Cuba...replicating working USA mothers back in the 1950s who didn't care what Batista & Luciano were doing to Cubans as long as rich American businessmen, via kickbacks, could also partake in the thuggery made possible by extreme imperialist brutality.
     For Americans in February of 2019 to sit back like ignorant cowards and allow a Rubio to anoint a Bolton as Trump's unchecked National Security Adviser shows zero respect for America that has had more than its share of war-mongered wars since the necessity of World War II. Bolton has a well-earned reputation as the USA's most salacious war-mongering zealot, at least when it comes to small, vulnerable nations. After the regime-change in Venezuela, the ensuing attack on Cuba will bear Bolton's ignorant and salacious stamp, thanks to the ignorance and cowardice of the U. S. citizens who allow things like that to happen in America's name while sanctimoniously criticizing "bad countries."
     As the Progreso Weekly in Miami pointed out with this astute cartoon, the American people might deserve John Bolton and Marco Rubio as self-serving puppeteers hiding behind the superpower U. S. government, but Cubans on the island in 2019 don't deserve Bolton and Rubio ANYMORE than Cubans on the island deserved Batista and Luciano in the 1950s. Yet, agreeing with Miami's Progreso Weekly, Cubans on the island equate Bolton and Rubio in 2019 with Batista and Luciano in the 1950s.
    Indecent and cowardly Americans who allow miscreants in the USA to threaten Daily Perez Guillen's two young children should be ashamed of themselves. But like I said, a few hours ago Daily...ever so briefly...found some comfort in the rainbow that appeared momentarily over the sea back toward the Florida Keys. SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW there may be an answer to this question: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE U. S. DEMOCRACY THAT ALLOWS RUNTS LIKE RUBIO & BOLTON TO BE DECISION-MAKERS?
     Yet today the U. S. media and the U. S. citizens are programmed to accept THIS PHOTO as being as American today as Apple Pie once was to more intelligent, more patriotic, and more courageous generations of Americans. INDEED, what the hell happened to Democracy?

Rubio Closer to Cuba Takeover

A HUGE Step Closer TODAY!!
Above photo-graphic courtesy of: Associated Press/Andre Penner.
     The image above reflects how Senator Marco Rubio's insatiable quest to regain control of Cuba to satisfy his mentors in Miami's Little Havana sector took a powerful step forward today. Rubio has been blessed with Donald Trump as U. S. President and extreme right-winger Zair Bolsonaro as President of Brazil, Latin America's superpower. Today Bolsonaro had his top diplomat, Ernesto Araezo, in Washington HUDDLING WITH MARCO RUBIO. Afterward, as reported in a major Miami Herald article today, both anti-Cuban war-mongers blamed Cuba for Latin America's ills, specifically the problems in Venezuela. "We totally agree," was Araezo's exact quote, followed by Rubio's latest comments about mentioning the Cuban regime-change as more important than the regime-change in Venezuela.
     In maneuvering five extreme anti-Cuban zealots to top positions in the Trump administration, John Bolton's appointment as Trump's National Security Adviser is by far Rubio's most significant triumph. Bolton, the planet's most egregious anti-Cuban war-monger, is more dangerous than all of the other of Rubio's anti-Cuban zealots, even more-so than career zealot Mauricio Claver-Carone becoming Trump's Western Hemisphere chief. So, within hours of extreme right-winger Jair Bolsonaro becoming President of Brazil, FOR DAMN SURE Bolton {as shown above} quickly flew to Brazil to get Bolsonaro's permission to attack Cuba. Thus, today -- February 8th, 2019 -- Bolsonaro's top diplomat -- Ernesto Arauzo, WAS IN WASHINGTON finalizing those plans with Marco Rubio. And now the bills will be paid in Blood and dollars while, with history as our guide, the likes of Rubio and Bolton will never be held accountable.
       In other words, today's Brazilian mission with Marco Rubio in Washington puts Rubio one giant step closer to rewarding the Little Havana extremists with their regime-change in Cuba. It will happen in a matter of days, not months. Afterward, Americans will pay the bills...in blood and dollars...for Rubio's ignorance, cowardice, and lack of concern for America as he, a flyweight, is allowed to rework his Batista-revamped ideology into the fabric of America's once-cherished democracy. For meekly allowing it to happen, this pusillanimous generation of United States citizens deserves Rubio's Batista fanaticism much more than Cubans on the island deserve its return to their vulnerable nation, a little country that chased the Batistianos and their Mafiosi brothers to their new headquarters, Little Havana in Miami, way back on January 1, 1959.
    At the moment, these are the three Little Havana kingpins being allowed to move the region into a war-footing to finally fulfill their obsession to regain control of Cuba. From left to right above are: Mauricio Claver-Carone, Marco Rubio, and Mario Diaz-Balart {whose father was a key Batista Minister before becoming one of the richest and most powerful Counter Revolutionaries in Little Havana}.
