Starving Cuban Children

To Appease Cuban-American Extremists!?!
{Monday, May 6th, 2019}

    This photo was taken this past weekend -- Saturday, May 4th, 2019. It shows Cuban children playing on a sandy beach. Christopher P. Baker and the OTHER FOUR top Travel Writers in the world claim that Cuban children on the island are among the most closely protected children in the "entire world." American democracy-lovers who have visited the island, including me, agree with that assessment. And, sadly, these Cuban children need to be protected from a mostly unchecked minority of Cuban-Americans in the nearby United States of America. Why? I believe the answer is this: The last two generations of Americans, which includes me, have been the least patriotic and the most cowardly generations in America's history. To allow a mere handful of greedy and revengeful Cuban-Americans, for six decades, to unmercifully target totally innocent Cuban children on the nearby island is sinful, and we THE MAJORITY OF AMERICA'S PEOPLE are most to blame for not having the guts to stop it.

    This little Cuban girl is shown playing in the sand on Saturday, May 4th, 2019. No rich foreigner should be allowed to harm her.

     That same precious little Cuban girl is shown later on Saturday, May 4th, 2019 taking a break from the Caribbean sun under a shade tree. She seems to be gazing across the Florida Straits where, 90 miles distant,  a handful of a second generation of revengeful Cuban-Americans are allowed to threaten this little girl everyday...as they or their fathers have been allowed to threaten all little girls on the island since January of 1959 when the Cuban Revolution chased the leaders of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship to a safe and lucrative haven on U. S. soil. During the latest Republican administration in Washington, Marco Rubio and his ilk can take advantage of this cowardly, unpatriotic generation of Americans and rejoice in making the far more decent Cuban mothers on the island fearful for their children. Every American and every true citizen of the world knows that undeniable fact but few have the guts to even admit that the famous New York Times Editorial was and is 100% correct and has come to define the Batistiano-Little Havana grip on America: "There is, finally, something indecent about vociferous exiles living safely in Miami prescribing more pain for their poorer cousins." Rubio should  be ashamed of himself, but he's not.

    As far as visitors to the island can detect, every mother in Cuba believes Little Havana's U. S. Senator from Miami, Marco Rubio, is a liar when he claims he is trying to help everyday Cubans on the island. To date, although even the left-wing mainstream media in the USA is too afraid to admit it, President Trump's most salacious and most anti-democratic collusion so far is with Rubio, whom Trump has appointed as the USA's Cuban dictator. Rubio trying to help everyday Cubans on the island? As far as is known, every mother on the island of Cuba believes that Rubio is perfectly willing to punish every child on the island in order to pad his economic and political nests. And so...on Saturday, May 4th, 2019...that is precisely where U.S.-Cuban relations stand. And for allowing the likes of Marco Rubio to leave Little Havana in Miami and direct punishment of innocent Cubans from Washington should shame every American and every Cuban-American.

    Each week the Batistiano-directed Trump administration ratchets up its ongoing effort to totally starve the Cuban economy once and for all, well knowing the prime victims of starvation will be millions of totally innocent children and mothers. As of the first week in May, 2019, the Trump White House starvation goals against Cubans reached a peak that not even the George W. Bush presidency would accept -- which was to activate Title 3, which is the meanest and most anti-democratic of all the Batistiano-written Helms-Burton rules that are all designed to enrich and empower selected Cuban-Americans while also easing the pathway to recapturing Cuba. Starting now about 200,000 lawsuits have begun hitting U.S. courtrooms to reward and award any and all claims against Cuba for property left behind when the Revolution booted the Batista-Mafia leaders back to U. S. soil in 1959 -- with the prime Batistiano sanctuaries of Miami and Newark being the favorite destinations for the fleeing Mafiosi. The very first company to be sued under Title 3 is Carnival Cruise Lines whose headquarters are in Miami and which happens to be the world's largest cruise line with over 100 vessels under 10 brand names. In U. S. courtrooms, as routinely happened after Helms-Burton became eternal U. S. law beginning in 1996, anyone suing Cuba basically was locked-in for a win. Proving or disproving legitimate money or property claims from the Batista-Mafia control of 1950's Cuba is absurd, but so too is every aspect of a great democracy turning over Cuban issues strictly to only a handful of the most extreme Cuban-Americans -- and in the Trump era that means Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers, Claver-Carone, etc.

   The top man at Carnival Cruise Lines is Arnold W. Donald.  Every port in the Miami area, where Carnival is headquartered, wants the cruise line business from Florida to Cuba and Mr. Donald was eager to oblige them thanks to the sane and decent pre-Trump presidency of Barack Obama. But even during the Batistiano-directed Trump administration, Mr. Donald's own high-priced lawyers will tell the courts that every cruise Carnival made to Cuba was totally legal according to U. S. laws and regulations even with Trump as President. Mr. Donald also suggests that even a totalitarian government would have trouble denying that claim, but from his office in Miami Mr. Donald also is aware that, since 1959 and particularly since Helms-Burton in 1996, democracy has not been a driving principle when it comes to challenging the economic and political excesses of the Batistiano Americans.

     An Israeli-American who graduated from the University of Miami, Micky Arison is the Chairman of Carnival Cruise Lines, which he molded into the largest international cruise line. Mr. Arison in 2019 personally chose Arnold W. Donald as the company's President and CEO. Attuned to Miami's unique economic and political structures, Mr. Arison now must confront a legal system that revolves around the offshoots of the Helms-Burton Act that is strictly by and for a handful of Cuban-American extremists who use alarming right-wing cracks in the U. S. democracy to perpetuate their two prime goals -- money and...oh, YES...the recapture of Cuba.

   Although most Americans are too afraid to admit it out loud, the Batistiano-gold mine known as the Helms-Burton Act is a HUGE insult to America and to Democracy.

     Americans including their representatives in the U. S. Congress AND EVEN the powerful left-wing news media that is trying so hard to impeach Trump are too afraid to oppose the Helms-Burton Act. Therefore, in 1996 it was allowed to create a Cuban government within the bowels of the U. S. government. But even the George W. Bush presidency, which was 100% aligned with the Little Havana extremists, refused to activate Title 3 of Helms-Burton. Yet, this week -- on Thursday, May 2nd, 2019 -- the Trump presidency ACTIVATED TITLE 3.

    The USA's bravest Editorial Cartoonists relish making fun of Helms-Burton and particularly the absurdly cruel and anti-democratic Title 3. But it is apparent that the U. S. democracy is not strong enough to rein in Helms-Burton, not even Title 3.

     In the 2016 Republican primary Marco Rubio's bid to become U. S. President ended with a thud when rival Donald Trump pinned the "Little Marco" tag on him and he was  also accused of selling out to every right-wing and Israeli billionaire or company on the planet.

    Yet, President Trump anointed Rubio as the USA's Cuban dictator. Many say it is Trump's way to pay homage to Little Havana's control of Florida's 29 electoral votes heading into the 2020 presidential race; but some say it is because Rubio and Miami's Little Havana denizens have damaging insight into something Trump doesn't want divulged. In any case, whether Americans or the media admit it or not, the USA, which supported the brutal Batista dictatorship in Cuba in the 1950s, now has its own Cuban dictator on U. S. soil -- Rubio.

      As the USA's Cuban dictator, Rubio has been allowed to stack President Trump's National Security, Foreign Policy, and State Department teams with only fierce anti-Cuban zealots such as John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Elliott Abrams, Mauricio Claver-Carone, etc., etc., etc. Beyond the U. S. Senate, it appears that Rubio plans to use his Cuban dictatorship to {1} Recapture Cuba for Little Havana; and {2} replace Trump as the head of the Republican Party, even prior to the upcoming election if his forces can stab Trump in the back by then. In any case, Rubio's current National Security, Foreign Policy, and State Department teams seem absolutely willing, even anxious, to start a Latin American War as a step to recapturing Cuba.

 President Trump's collusion with Senator Rubio may well be the most evil collusion the Trump White House has engaged in. But unlike Russian, North Korean, Saudi Arabian, and a myriad of other supposed collusions, neither the majority of Americans nor the mainstream U. S. media have the courage to question Trump's much more obvious and devious collusion with Rubio. And for that reason, I believe, the U. S. democracy is not strong enough to stop or even discourage the current Trump-Rubio U. S. government goal of starving children on the island of Cuba.

   A Cuban mother in 2019, during the Trump-Rubio era in the nearby United States, needs to tightly hug her child and say this prayer {as shown above}: "I give my life for my kids. May God care for me and bless you always." A Cuban mother trying to survive Trump-Rubio so she can care for and feed her child? Yes, whether Americans admit it or not, that situation in May of 2019 exists on the island of Cuba.

The U. S. government at work.

But the U. S. has enough nuclear weapons to make it stick.

US-Cuba: WHO'S LYING?

Prior To The War!

    When U. S. President Barack Obama bravely put U.S.-Cuban relations on a sane and mutually beneficial plateau, Johana Tablada was Cuba's highly respected Ambassador to Portugal. But when Donald Trump, quite surprisingly, became the latest Republican U. S. President, Johana and her two young children returned to Cuba because, as an expert on U.S.-Cuban relations, she was needed as the Deputy Minister of U. S. Affairs.

    The above Tweet was posted a few hours ago by CNN's Patrick Oppmann. It shows Johana Tablada at a news conference May 1st, 2019, in Havana. As Oppmann pointed out {and he seemed to agree with her} Johana Tablada was providing Cuba's view regarding the prime pretext that RUBIO/BOLTON/POMPEO/CLAVER-CARONE, Trump's four prime war-mongers targeting Cuba, are using to justify their impending regime-change on the island. Rubio and his three main puppets repeatedly say that 20,000 Cuban soldiers in Venezuela are the only thing keeping harried President Maduro in power. As you can see above, Johana Tablada said, "There are no Cuban troops in Venezuela." Her position is this: "Rubio and his people in Miami, Newark, and Congress claim that if we don't remove our 20,000 troops in Venezuela that we will be wiped out. Rubio knows we can't do that because we have no troops in Venezuela, yet he believes that excuse will convince Trump to attack us.  I see that news agencies say that Russia and China have troops and weapons in Venezuela but they are nuclear superpowers and Rubio is afraid of them. But we are small and poor so he thinks Cuba will be easy pickings and Trump is the President that will finally let his Miami friends recapture our cherished island."

      Cubans on the island, including Johana Tablada, believe that the Rubio-directed Trump administration will attack their vulnerable island as soon as the denouement in Venezuela plays out: you know, the dire threat of a Latin American War that could involve the world's three top nuclear Superpowers -- the USA, Russia, and China. But, of course, Rubio claims it will mostly involve Cuba's 20,000 phantom soldiers. Through it all, Johana Tablada and the adult Cubans on the island appear quite stoic. "We have to be, for the sake of the children. We are not going anywhere. How does the song go -- 'Whatever will be...will be'"

          The May Day photo above on May 1-2019 shows Cubans overflowing the Plaza of the Revolution in Havana. Johana Tablada posted it on her social media pages. She knows that Rubio may now have "the right President to finally destroy our Revolution. But if so, those of us still standing will start another one."

   Meanwhile, in the USA the conservative/right-wing media is ready to lavishly hail Marco Rubio when he recaptures Cuba...and the mainstream USA media is too afraid not to hail him. In the image above the Fox-10 television station in Miami as well as the Fox News Network was showing Rubio's WE WILL RECAPTURE CUBA speech at Little Havana's "Manuel Artime Theater" that was named for one of the leaders of the April-1961 BAY OF PIGS military attack on Cuba. That, of course, turned out to be a massive humiliation for the attackers, the United States, and for Democracy. But in the spring of 2019 Rubio has all the cards in his favor -- Trump, the world's strongest military, the world's largest Treasury, a supportive or intimidated U. S. media, and a U. S. population programmed since 1959 to believe that all the good Cubans are in the USA and all the bad Cubans are on the island.

   Americans just got through paying millions of dollars for a 2-year investigation to determine if Donald Trump's election as President was because of his collusion with Russia. Perhaps the more interesting investigation would concern Trump's collusion with Cuban extremists in Miami's Little Havana. During the 2016 presidential campaign Trump and Marco Rubio hated and mocked each other...with Trump labeling Rubio "Little Marco" as DONALD JR. mocked with the above graphic. But then, as President, Trump anointed Little Marco as THE CUBAN DICTATOR ON U. S. SOIL, a coveted Florida prize both economically and politically because members of the U. S. Congress from Little Havana can ROUTINELY gush massive pipelines of tax dollars from Washington to Miami...and for a myriad of excuses such as the wildly lucrative anti-Cuba propaganda machine known as Radio-TV Marti.

    So why, as President, did Trump quickly make Little Marco into BIG Man Rubio? Sure, all Republican presidents capitulate to Little Havana because of Florida's often decisive electoral votes. But Trump making Rubio a BIG MAN seems to have a more diabolical twist, such as...MAYBE??...a tip Rubio got that ties Trump to something a lot more damning than Trump's alleged Russian ties????

    People who know Pinocchio Rubio the best don't believe a word Rubio says about Cuba...or even about himself. The Pinocchio image above, for example, is from Alvaro Fernandez's Progreso Weekly published in Rubio's hometown of Miami. Rubio made it all the way to the U. S. Senate from Little Havana still claiming his parents escaped the tyranny of Castro's Cuba for the freedom of Miami. But then Progreso Weekly, the Miami New Times, etc., pointed out that Rubio's parents escaped Batista's Cuba long before Castro chased the Batistianos to Miami. Likewise, anyone who believes anything Rubio says about Cuba is probably an idiot or someone too afraid to question it.

    And that brings me back around to Johana Tablada, Cuba's Ambassador to Portugal who was summoned back to Havana as the island's USA expert when Donald Trump became the latest and most surprising Republican to take over the USA White House. Johana, to my knowledge, has never been accused of having a Pinocchio nose.

   And this week, as Tweeted above by CNN's Patrick Oppmann in Havana, Johana Tablada says: "There are no Cuban troops in Venezuela. Doctors, nurses, teachers...yes. Troops...no."

    Decade after decade since the 1950s, poor little Cuba has astounded the world by essentially holding its own in its tussles with the rich and mighty USA. But I believe at long last, in this 3rd year of Trump's first presidential term, the island is destined to finally lose to the nearby Superpower. But that is likely to ignite another Revolution, and one that might pugnaciously linger until...and IF...all the Cubans on the island, like Johana Tablada, are finally eviscerated...for once and for all.

Controlling Cuba News

But One Miami TV STATION Reports True!!
{Wednesday, May 1st, 2019}

     Since January of 1959 -- when the victorious Cuban Revolution ACTUALLY chased the leaders of the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship to their luxurious sanctuary on U. S. soil -- the Miami/Newark-based Batistianos have dictated most of America's Cuban policies and almost all of the Cuban narratives in the United States. That evolved because excess money and unadulterated intimidation simply overwhelmed Miami and Newark VERY quickly and then overwhelmed the political apparatus in Washington as well as the mainstream U. S. media. Incredibly, the top television station IN MIAMI is the exception to those harsh but accurate facts. WPLG-10, the ABC television affiliate in Miami, has an excellent broadcast journalist, Hatzel Vela, stationed in Cuba and...INCREDIBLY...he regularly files fair and excellent reports from Cuba back to Miami.

    So, if Hatzel Vela and Channel 10 in Miami can report fairly from Cuba back to Miami/Little Havana, why on MAY 1-2019 is the mainstream national U. S. media still afraid to do so? I believe that is a pertinent question to be asked in the world's democratic Superpower.

    Since 1959 Cuba has been very vulnerable to powerful Caribbean storms as well as to powerful USA-based MILITARY-TERRORIST-ECONOMIC attacks. Hatzel Vela does a superb, unbiased job as a true journalist in reporting those Cuban stories. In South Florida there are about two million Cubans and Vela's Miami station -- WPLG-TV 10 -- seems to understand that most of those Miami Cubans want to HELP and NOT ASSAULT OR STARVE their fellow Cubans on the island. But, of course that majority of Cubans in Miami are not the political superpowers, all of whom are Batistiano advocates tightly aligned with Republicans in the U. S. Congress and with all Republican presidential administrations. In the two Hatzel Vela video reports below you can first see and hear him discuss the latest sanctions and regime-change USA tactics with Cuba's Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, the island's Director of U. S. Affairs. But also Hatzel Vela included a broadcast that featured FIVE of the most vicious anti-Cuban Cubans in this precise order -- Mario Diaz-Balart whose dad was a top Batista Minister, the Havana-born Ileana Ros-Lehtinen who spent 29 years representing Little Havana extremists in the U. S. Congress, Marco Rubio who incredibly is the current Cuban dictator on U. S. soil, Yoani Sanchez who is the powerful Little Havana-backed Cuban dissident in Havana, and Carlos Curbello who recently was a Little Havana Cuban voted out of the U. S. Congress. So start with the top Hatzel Vela broadcast below to hear him interview Cuba's de Cossio to get the island's perspective on the Trump administration's pro-Batistiano treatment of Cubans.

     Now in the next broadcast below Hatzel Vela at Miami's WPLG-TV 10 discusses the Trump administration's activation of Title 3, the cruelest and most extreme aspect of the extremely cruel Batistiano-written Helms-Burton Act that even Batistiano-aligned President George W. Bush refused to activate. As referenced in the above Hatzel Vela video, most Cubans in Miami favor decent treatment of Cubans on the island and, in fact, send billions of dollars of help to relatives and friends on the island. But as dictated to Trump by vicious Cuban-Americans such as Marco Rubio and Mario Diaz-Balart, during Republican administrations the Rubio/Diaz-Balart-types can punish America's best friends in the world, such as Canada and the 28 EU nations, in order to punish Cuba. Also, the Rubio/Diaz-Balart-types can punish Cuban-Americans in Miami in order to punish Cubans on the island...and now Rubio-Diaz Balart are sharply restricting how much Miami Cubans can send to Cuba to help their relatives and friends in Cuba. That is discussed fairly in the Hatzel Vela broadcast below:

     So, I think you might agree with me when I point out how unusual it is in May of 2019 that the top television station in Miami, WPLG-TV 10, and its excellent journalist, Hatzel Vela, represent the only source in the USA for fair-minded updates on the U.S.-Cuban conundrum.

So, hats off to Hatzel.

Genocide or Stupidity or Both

The USA's Cuban Policy IS BOTH!!

I'll make this Cubaninsider update very short because, actually, I believe a California journalist named Daniel Rey has the best article today relating to the Trump administration's genocidal cruelty and stupidity that incredibly saturates the USA's unfathomably insane assaults on Cuba's women and children. The article is entitled: "Trump's New Cuba Policy Isn't As Bad As The Bay of Pigs Fiasco -- But It's Close." The article has the guts and the insight to point out that Trump's Little Havana-Batistiano dictates from Miami "stymies the Cuban private sector," which exposes the blatant lie about the USA "trying to help the Cuban people" by starving them to death. So with that heads-up, GOOGLE Daniel Rey's article and then return here to Cubaninsider tomorrow for my fresh views.

Cuba: Sanity-Insanity

And Decency vs. Indecency!!

In other words: Mendrala vs. Bolton!!
{Monday, April 29th, 2019}

      When it comes to U.S.-Cuba Relations, Emily Mendrala -- the Executive Director of the Washington-based Center for Democracy in the Americas -- represents not only sanity and decency but also No One in Washington knows more about U.S.-Cuba Relations than Emily Mendrala. Having worked tirelessly on those issues and challenges both inside and outside the U. S. government, her expertise...along with her decency and sanity...should mean that she...and others like her...should be the ones primarily influencing or actually making Cuban decisions within the U. S. government in Republican or Democratic administrations. Yet, incredibly, within the bowels of the world's strongest democracy, it is people like Emily Mendrala that the Batistiono-Mafiosi stranglehold on the USA's Cuban policies leave out of the loop on Cuban issues, almost all of which are dictated by a small extremist fringe from Miami and within both the U. S. Congress and in all Republican White Houses. And sadly for Americans, for Cuban-Americans, and for Cubans on the island, that means...for the most part...indecency and insanity have ruled the USA's Cuban policies virtually since January 1 of 1959 when ultra-rich/high echelon exiles fleeing the Cuban Revolution overwhelmed U. S. cities such as Miami and Newark, which put them on the path to political power once entities such as the Bush dynasty; Congressmen like Jesse Helms, Dan Burton, and Robert Torricelli, etc.; and the Tea Party hitched their economic and political fortunes to that of the most vicious Counter Revolutionary Cubans. This situation, always massively exacerbated during Republican administrations that literally take their Cuban orders from only the most extremist Counter Revolutionary Cubans, means that the unique knowledge, decency, and sanity from America's best Cuban experts like Emily Mendrala are totally drowned out by recycled old war-mongering/anti Cuban zealots such as...John Bolton.

      Thus, with a Republican President like Donald Trump in the White House, John Bolton in April of 2019 can go back to Little Havana/Batistiano territory in the Miami area and dictate, on America's behalf, vast amount of punishment and torture for Cubans on the island. As an even bigger insult to America and to Democracy, John Bolton can make those pronouncements standing in front of the Brigada Asalto 2506 banner that was the battle flag in April of 1961 when the USA/CIA/Cuban exiles attacked Revolutionary Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, which still stands as one of America's and Democracy's BIGGEST LOSSES and LOUDEST HUMILIATIONS. But never mind because John Bolton can get away with such cruel, vitriolic speeches because he speaks for another Republican White House and because even the mainstream U. S. media...including the left-wingers intent on impeaching Trump...are too afraid of the Batistianos to report fairly or objectively on the depths of the Cuban-exile government that exists within the bowels of what is known worldwide as the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.

       Therefore, in April of 2019 it simply doesn't matter what true, decent, sane, and democracy-loving Cuban experts such as Emily Mendrala say regarding U.S.-Cuban relations...not when their sanity and decency can be so easily over-ruled, overshadowed, and overwhelmed by a mere handful of right-wing rogues who benefit revengfully, economically, and politically hiding behind the skirts of the world's nearby Superpower. But just for the record, here are some of the exact words that Emily Mendrala at the Center for Democracy in The Americas wrote concerning John Bolton's April-2019 "Brigada Asalto 2506" pronouncements of uniquely cruel punishments for totally innocent children, women, and men on the island of Cuba: "U. S. National Security Adviser John Bolton, speaking against an overly political backdrop in the largest swing state in the U. S., announced new sanctions against Cuba. Frankly speaking, the measures are mean-spirited, and can only be understood as a means of creating economic hardship for the Cuban people...they will cause great pain to the Cuban people...create obstacles for companies around the world...and represent a significant step backwards."
          Of course, there is no sane, decent person in the entire world who can deny a single word, as shown above, written by the highly respected Emily Mendrala at the highly respected Center for Democracy in the Americas. Yet, EVERY sane, decent person in the entire world, I believe, CAN DENY every cruel word John Bolton, speaking for the United States of America, spoke in Florida in front of the Brigada Asalto 2506 banner. And YET, John Bolton's words, not Emily Mendrala's words, represent the United States of America. And that, I believe, says a lot more about America and the American people than it says about Cuba and the Cuban people. You see, like Emily Mendrala, I'm a democracy-loving American.

IF Bolton Nukes Cuba

Would It BE OK?
{Saturday, April 27th, 2019}

     Beginning in 2002 it is well known that John Bolton concocted absurd excuses in urging President George W. Bush to launch an all-out attack on Cuba to avenge the April-1961 attack at the Bay of Pigs. Although the Bush dynasty for decades has been fully aligned with the Little Havana extremists in Miami, President George W. Bush not only refused an all-out military attack on Cuba but he also refused to activate Title 3 of the Helms-Burton Act that was written in 1996 for the clear purpose of starving Revolutionary Cuba to death or at least to induce Cubans on the island to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government.

    Now FAST-FORWARD to April-2019. John Bolton, incredibly, has been named President Donald Trump's National Security Adviser after Trump had already put Counter Revolutionary extremists Marco Rubio, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Mauricio Claver-Carone in charge of recapturing Cuba on behalf of what Bolton lovingly calls "the Bay of Pigs survivors" in Little Havana.

     Anyone who studies John Bolton's rise as an imperialist war-monger courtesy of the Bush dynasty will detect a pattern: Bolton tends to merely salute nuclear-powered Big Boys like Russia, China, and even North Korea but believes any smaller nation that doesn't lushly share its natural resources with rich Americans is ripe for a USA take-over. Thus, Bolton's most beloved historic example is Cuba back when rich Americans {from 1952 till 1959} paid cash kick-backs to the Batista-Mafia dictators so they could partake of the wholesale fleecing of the Caribbean's largest and most promising island. Therefore, it is no surprise that Bolton, after his political resurrection by President Trump, is once again showering his imperialist love on Little Havana's Cuban exiles from the long-ago ousted Batista-Mafia dictatorship. And in doing so, of course, John Bolton is busy trying to execute a regime-change in Cuba that will, potentially, ONCE AGAIN be a playpen for Batistianos, Mafiosi and rich American businessmen.

    Thus, boldly representing Trump and the United States of America, John Bolton has made two highly publicized trips to Little Havana territory on U. S. soil and {1} declared war on Cuba; and {2} announced that the Trump administration was ACTIVATING Title 3 of Helms-Burton. Remember that Bolton could not even get President Bush to do either of those two things because even Bush knew that the rest of the world considered both things to be extreme cruelty...even genocide...perpetrated by a powerful nation against people in a much-weaker nation.

Mr. Bolton and Brigada Asalto 2506.

    The Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba lingers historically as one of America's greatest humiliations and surely one of the most monumental achievements of Fidel Castro and his Cuban Revolution, boosting their stock eternally on the international stage far out of proportion to a small island nation. It took place in APRIL OF 1961. In APRIL OF 2019 Americans are  STILL supposed to be TOO AFRAID to ask questions such as, "The Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba was six decades ago...so how many of the attackers that Bolton loves so much are still living?" Well...uh, not many. But remember, Americans are not supposed to ask such Cuban questions. After all, Little Havana in Miami since 1959 has basically dictated both the Cuban narrative in the U. S. and the USA's Cuban policies.

      And, of course, Americans in April-2019 are not supposed to Google such names as...Emilio Milian. In 1976 Emilio was the top Cuban-American newsman in Miami and he complained about the terrorist murders of innocent and non-Counter Revolutionary Cubans...including such things as the bombing of the civilian Cubana Flight 455 airplane that killed all 73 people on board. But for his decency and bravery in Miami, Emilio Milian was car-bombed.

     Most of the two million Cuban-Americans in the Miami area, including powerful businessmen like Frank Del Rio, are decent U. S. citizens and don't want to punish Cubans on the island. In fact, Cuban-Americans each year...despite history's all-time cruelest and longest Embargo...have been sending several billion dollars a year in cash and goods to the island to help the embargoed Cubans. But it seems that only Rubio-types, not Frank Del Rio-types, get elected to public office in Miami or get sent to the U. S. Congress in Washington. And adding to the extreme Helms-Burton/Title 3 cruelty, the famous war-monger, John Bolton, has announced that cash-and-goods from decent Cuban-Americans to Cubans on the island will be SHARPLY CURTAILED, much to the dismay of decent Cuban-Americans like Frank Del Rio.

    The 28-nation European Union's Ambassador to Cuba is Alberto Navarro. In a few days...on May 2, 2019...the Trump administration's activation of Helms-Burton Title 3 will enable the heirs of Mafia kingpin Meyer Lansky and thousands of other to sue in U. S. courts for property allegedly lost to the Cuban Revolution in 1959...and sue companies in other nations doing business with Cuba. Such an attempt to starve Cuba, as noted, was not even allowed by the Batistiano-driven George W. Bush presidency...but it reflects both the stupidity and the brazenness of today's Trump White House to punish other friendly nations in order to starve innocent Cubans on the island. The typical worldwide respond echoes the precise words that Alberto Navarro as he pointedly stated this week: "The Title-3 action by the Trump administration is causing unprecedented concern all over Europe and elsewhere. The extraterritorial application of the U. S. Embargo against Cuba is illegal, contrary to international law, and I also consider it immoral. The U. S. is the world nuclear power and has dire economic influence worldwide, too much it seems. And a president who is also Commander-in-Chief can do certain things, I guess, if the American people let him. But to infringe on the freedoms of all other nations in order to punish a much smaller victim nation is a bridge much too far. If the American people don't realize that now, they will realize it later."

 The European Union's High Representative, Federica Mogherini, has long called the U. S. embargo against Cuba "blatantly illegal and exceedingly cruel." Now additionally outraged by the activation of Helms-Burton Title 3, Mogherini is threatening to use the clout of the EU to sue the USA in the World Court and in the World Trade Association..."on behalf of the EU nations and on behalf of Cuba whose people have been unmercifully punished and robbed for six decades by a powerful nation that does it because it can get away with it. Maybe, with Trump, it is time for the world to react properly."

    As the powerful leader of the 28-nation European Union, Federica Mogherini testifying in a non-USA World Court or in the non-USA World Trade Organization would likely shed much-needed light on the "blatantly illegal and exceedingly cruel" economic embargo of Cuba that has existed since 1962. Obviously, the World Court and the World Trade Organization MIGHT take exception to a powerful nation trying to starve people in a much smaller nation AND MIGHT even confront that powerful nation for dictating punishment to other nations who MIGHT disagree with history's longest and cruelest embargo.

   As if the image above and the unfathomable Helms-Burton cruelty is not enough to shame America and Democracy in the eyes of the world, now the Little Havana-dictated Trump administration in Washington seeks to punish ALL DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN COMPANIES that might do business with Cuba.

    One thing the Trump administration's unprecedented effort to starve Cubans on the island is doing is REMINDING the world of the brutal-thieving and U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship that verily robbed and brutalized Cuba from 1952 till 1959. Left-to-right above are Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Fulgencio Batista.

    This photo shows Meyer Lansky leaving one of the Mafia-owned hotel-casino's in Havana in 1957 with a typical satchel full of money.

    With U.S.-backing Meyer Lansky and the Mafia created "A Caribbean Mob Story" in Cuba from 1952 till 1959. The Lansky character in the famed "Godfather" movies said while he was PLUNDERING Cuba blind, "We are bigger than U. S. Steel."

   While in Cuba, Meyer Lansky built and owned the plush Riviera Hotel.

    This is Meyer Lansky's grandson Gary Rapoport. The London Daily Mail as well as the Tampa Bay Times reported that Gary and other Meyer Lansky heirs have tried for years to have Helms-Burton Title 3 activated so they could sue for the loss of the Lansky properties in Batista's Cuba. Now, starting on May 2-2019, the Trump administration has activated Title 3, opening the door for a reported 200,000 or so such lawsuits in U. S. courtrooms, something that will overwhelm U.S. courts and, to put it mildly, UNDERwhelm all other nations in the world. Yet, it might backfire on TRUMP and LITTLE HAVANA because it could end up allowing Cuba to sue the U. S. in the World Court and in the World Trade Organization for such things as...the Embargo, Guantanamo Bay, terrorists acts such as the downing of Cubana Flight 455, etc., etc., etc., etc.

    Meanwhile, the world knows that the U. S. presidential transition from the Cuba-friendly Obama to the Little Havana-controlled TRUMP has created "URGENT" times for Cuba's new President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
