USA's Cuban Government

America's Sub-Government!!
       In this second week of the new decade 2020 the photo above from Japan is circulating around the sports world and it also says a lot about an American secret, which relates to the sub-Cuban government in the United States that operates unimpeded within the bowels of the prime U. S. government that rules from the capital of Washington. The Cuban government in the USA has involved since January of 1959 when the Cuban Revolution chased the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship from Havana to its new capital in Little Havana in Miami. Neither the mainstream U. S. media nor the U. S. government admits that fact, but nevertheless it is true -- as the photo above illustrates. Above in Japan's powerful pro-baseball league, the left-handed batter is about to hit against a young left-handed pitcher from Cuba named Oscar Colas. Now that you understand the image above, you should comprehend how it relates to the reality that Little Havana is the capital of America's Cuban government-in-exile that exists as a self-sustaining sub/second USA government.
      In the top photo Oscar Colas was shown displaying a devastating fastball as a left-handed Cuba pitcher in Japan. In the photo directly above, Oscar is shown as a powerful left-handed hitter in the Japanese Major Leagues for the Soft Bank Hawks. Since he was 17, Oscar had been a star in Cuba before he proved in Japan that he had superstar Major League talent as both a lefty pitcher and lefty-hitting slugger. America's 30 Major League teams now routinely have superstars making $40 million a year on long-term, guaranteed contracts. And the U. S. Major League teams also routinely covet players from both Cuba and Japan, both hotbeds for baseball talent. 
     Now in this first week of 2020 all 30 U. S. Major League teams are salivating about signing Oscar Colas as either a pitcher or a hitter or both. He is 21-years-old and he is considered many times more talented than young Cubans who have been signed to massive guaranteed U. S. contracts after defecting from Cuba. Well, Oscar Colas this week has defected from Cuba and between now and July all of the Major League teams in the U. S. are competing to sign him. The Chicago White Sox, for example, already are led by three Cuban superstars -- Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada, and Luis Robert -- and the White Sox have already compiled a hefty multi-million-dollar proposal to entice Oscar, but so have all the other 29 U. S. Major League teams. That explains how and why America's sub-Cuban government in the capital of Little Havana is so unique within the bowels of the U. S. government that resides in the capital of Washington. Permit me to explain.
      Because Little Havana constitutes a government unto itself on U. S. soil, Cuban baseball players are the only ones in the whole world who have to defect in order to quickly become multi-millionaires in the USA. That has created unsavory human traffickers who try to partake in such instant wealth. In 2019 Major League Baseball in the USA tried to restrict the human traffickers by signing a deal with Cuba that would make Cuban prospects treated in the same fashion as talent from other nations. After that sane and decent deal was signed, a few Counter Revolutionary extremists in Little Havana -- Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers, etc. -- easily canceled the deal, using their power as America's sub-government. To put that in proper perspective, the Boston Red Sox paid $72 million upfront to sign a little outfielder who turned out to be not a Major Leaguer but all the $72 million was guaranteed. That same prospect would have commanded no more than $3 or $4 million had he not been a Caban that all 30 Major League teams could bid for, while all other similar prospects would be restricted to being signed by just one team, the only team that could bid for them. Little Havana, which feels empowered to order Washington's government to block anything that might allow Cuba, a sovereign nation since 1959, to acquire money, which is supposedly to make the pugnacious island totally vulnerable to recapture by Little Havana Batistiano exiles. Of course, only Cuba is strangled by such genocidal tactics from the soil of the world's superpower nation. For example, another Caribbean nation -- the Dominican Republic -- arguably now is producing more USA baseball superstars than the USA itself produces. But all of the USA's 30 Major League teams have state-of-the-art facilities and stadiums staffed year-around in the Dominican Republic, which not only produces an incredible number of Major League-caliber players but also sends a year-around supply of commerce and dollars to the Dominican Republic. By contrast, unlike in the Dominican Republic and all countries except Cuba, Little Havana's U. S. government is allowed, decade after decade, to use Washington's government to essentially commit genocide against 11 million everyday Cubans on the nearby island while colluding with human traffickers and other unsavory characters and while making Little Havana's leading politicians and sycophants incredibly rich and powerful.
      And so, the unfolding saga of Oscar Colas, Cuba's latest baseball phenom coveted by all 30 of America's Major League teams, reveals a secret that America's democracy-loving citizens are supposed to be too stupid and too afraid  to comprehend in this new decade of 2020.
        Also, the Little Havana portion of the U. S. government this week, in its unchecked and gutless assaults and discriminations against baseball-loving everyday Cubans, booted Cuba out of the Caribbean Baseball Series that will be played next month -- February 1-7, 2020 -- in the U. S. Territory of Puerto Rico. When a handful of Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Little Havana can do things that out of sheer spite to hurt the bulk of Cubans, Cuban-Americans, and everyone else, it continually proves that the once-proud U. S. democracy is simply not strong enough to rein-in the worst of its Cuban exiles.
      For many years Cuban teams dominated regional and international events such as the Caribbean Baseball Series. When Rubio, the Diaz-Balart brothers, and a few other denizens in Little Havana can on a whim rule Cuba out of next month's Caribbean Baseball Series in San Juan, neither the scared mainstream U. S. media nor the afraid U. S. citizens will have any brave backlash in defense of neither democracy nor 11.4 million Cubans on the island. It's been that way in America virtually since Little Havana emerged as the capital of the Cuban government-in-exile, giving the United States at least the appearance of a TWO-GOVERNMENT nation. Of course, Washington remains the recognized capital of the United States but, if another democracy-loving generation of Americans doesn't soon appear, Little Havana and Washington may one day be co-equals, at least...and then beyond that Little Havana might well supersede Washington as the USA's capital.

US Sanctions More Cubans

A Daily US Cuban Obsession!!
      U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's latest squeeze against Cuba, a daily occurrence regardless of what else is happening it seems, concerns slapping sanctions on the island's Defense Minister General Leopoldo Cintra Frias. The General's two children -- Deborah Cintra Gonzalez and Leopoldo Cintra Gonzalez -- were also blacklisted, according to Pompeo's announcement. The three are now on the growing list of Cubans who, among other things, are listed as "unfit to visit the United States."
       Born on July 17th in 1941 in Yara, Cuba, General Cintra is 78-years-old. He joined Fidel Castro's guerrilla unit in 1957 and quickly rose in the ranks as the Cuban Revolution defeated the U.S.-backed Batista dictatorship on January 1, 1959. In Revolutionary Cuba General Cintra has long been honored with his rank of General and is now Cuba's Minister of Defense.
AND BY THE WAY:
     Like Defense Minister Leopoldo Cintra Frias, another General in the Cuban Army who was born in Yara is General Tete Puebla. Now 79, General Puebla was born on December 9th, 1940. While still a teenager Tete Puebla had a bounty on her head because of her fame as a guerrilla fighter against dictator Batista's soldiers.
     This book told the amazing story of "Tete Puebla & the Mariana Grajales Women's Platoon In Cuba's Revolutionary War 1956-58." In this gripping book Tete Puebla explained that her furious reputation in the revolutionary war was immediately and everlastingly inspired when Batista's infamous Masferrer Tigers {a 300-man army famed as Batista's brutal enforcers} raided and encircled Tete's hometown of Yara and randomly chose young Cubans and set them fatally afire as a warning for the rest of the town not to resist. General Puebla and General Cintra were among the citizens of Yara who failed to heed that warning and were instead inspired to become guerrilla fighters in the revolutionary war against Batista's U.S.-armed soldiers.
      The above photo and the AP caption, which is owned by Tete Puebla, shows the day Tete Puebla, on the far left, arrived TRIUMPHANTLY in Havana along with other front-line fighters in the Mariana Grajales Women's Platoon who helped win the Cuban Revolution in the early hours of January, 1959. Study the faces of Tete and the other female fighters on that happy day. When asked why they were not gloriously happy, Tete famously replied, "Because we were hoping the Batista and Mafia leaders had stayed in Havana to fight us, but by the time we got there to reclaim our capital city they had taken their plane-and-ship loads of loot and returned to Miami, we were told." At age 79 today, General Tete Puebla remains a fighter protecting Revolutionary Cuba.
      This photo shows General Tete Puebla right before she was about to be interviewed by journalist Arleen Rodriguez on Cuba's powerful news program Mesa Redonda, which means "Round Table" in English. Arleen was holding a copy of Tete's "Mariana Grajales" biography. The book can be purchased on Amazon.

Trump 2020 Plans For Cuba

Americans Need To Know!!
    Unlike pusillanimous American journalists on January 1, 2020 who are too afraid of the Cuban Counter Revolutionary extremists in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress, the international Cuban expert Marc Frank remains your best bet to get the truth about Cuba and U.S.-Cuban relations. Frank for many years as a ultra-respected journalist for the British-based international giants Reuters and Financial Times has in his articles, columns, and books has had the talent and the guts to tell the truth. Therefore on January 1-2020 it is not surprising that Marc Frank penned the world's best article related to Cuba. It is entitled: "RUSSIA FILLS THE VOID IN CUBA LEFT BY TOUGHER US EMBARGO." It insightfully explains that the Trump administration's Little Havana-perpetrated genocide aimed at everyday Cubans on the island has not and will not make Revolutionary Cuba capitulate but instead has forced Cuba to embrace help from friends that include Russia, China, and the 28-nation European Union. With a strong majority of Cuba's 11.4 million people still supporting the triumph of the Cuban Revolution that ousted the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship on January 1, 1959, Cuba's leaders in this new year of 2020 are aware that surviving the Trump/Little Havana genocide needs assistance wherever it can be found -- including Russia, which is the military superpower that the United States fears most.
      On January 1, 2020 Americans therefore must read the Cuban revelations of the great Reuters/Financial Times journalist Marc Frank, especially today's aforementioned article. He explained that "Cubans welcome the support from Moscow, as they do from other international actors such as China and the European Union." The article points out that the Trump-Little Havana genocide against everyday Cubans inspires "President Vladimir Putin to create trouble in the USA's backyard." In stark contrast to the USA's current massive effort to totally strangle Cuba's economy, Russia, according to Marc Frank in today's article, is spending $2 billion on a project to massively upgrade Cuba's railway system and another $1 billion to install four 200 megawatt generators. In fact, Russian energy giant Rosneft also ships some much needed oil to Cuba but Rosneft also is now sending "it's workers to Cuba for medical check-ups." Also, Marc Frank reveals that 125,000 Russian tourists have recently visited the island with more ticketed to come and "Russia will be the Guest of Honor at Cuba's Tourism Fair in 2020."
     Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel was born after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution but he fanatically wants to defend it and, as shown above, he personally solicited the help from Russian President Vladimir Putin. As Cuba's former Education Minister, Diaz-Canel understands that Cuba prefers friendly trade and tourism via Obama-like relations with the nearby United States but he is also aware that the Obama presidency was replaced by the latest Republican U. S. President, Trump, tightly aligned with the Cuban Counter Revolutionary extremists in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress who fervently aspire to recapture Cuba while Trump remains in the White House. This video report thus explains in English why Diaz-Canel is courting Putin:
       On January 1, 2020 the United States of America, the richest and strongest nation in the world, has massive domestic and international problems. Americans who care about their nation and their democracy need to understand that the photo above perhaps portends what might be America's longest-lasting problem...although neither the U. S. government nor the mainstream U. S. media will level about it to the American people. For the record, the photo above shows a pertinent love-fest featuring, left to right, Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart, Senator Marco Rubio, and President Donald Trump. Both Mario and Marco are vicious U. S. Congressmen and Cuban Counter Revolutionary stalwarts from Little Havana in Miami, the capital city for the remnant leaders of the Batista-Mafia dictatorship that was chased out of Havana way back on January 1-1959 by the startling triumph of the Cuban Revolution. Even more startling, of course, has been the longevity of Revolutionary Cuba considering that the United States, the Cuban exiles, and the Mafia have...every day since 1959...tried mightily to recapture Cuba while using the world's largest treasury, the world's strongest military, unchecked terrorist attacks, and the world's longest and cruelest economic embargo/blockade ever imposed by a powerful nation against a much weaker nation. {The embargo/blockade has existed from 1962 into the new decade that began on January 1, 2020}. Now in the New Year of 2020 Diaz-Balart, whose father Rafael was a key Minister in the Batista-Mafia dictatorship, and another Little Havana-prepped scion Rubio believe that Trump will help them overthrow the pugnacious Cuban revolutionaries once and FOR ALLDerisively called "Little Marco" by presidential candidate Trump in 2016, President Trump nevertheless anointed Rubio the USA's new Cuban dictator in Little Havana because Trump believes Little Havana will therefore deliver to him Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes that Trump direly needs for his re-election in November of 2020. On Jan. 1-2020 this unholy trio -- Diaz-Balart, Rubio, and Trump -- confidently believe that they will RECAPTURE CUBA for Little Havana no later than the spring of 2020. But to do so, Diaz-Balart and Rubio will have to do more than just try to starve and otherwise deprive Cubans on the island but also persuade Commander-in-Chief Trump to eviscerate many of them, which the U. S. has the power to do. Of course, eviscerating a million or so Cubans on the island to appease Little Havana stalwarts like Diaz-Balart and Rubio might recreate a Batista/Mafia-like U. S. domination on the island but that would also immediately spawn another do-or-die revolution on the island too.
      In stark contrast to the brave and honest journalism from Marc Frank on January 1, 2020, Nora Gamez Torres on January 1, 2020...as usual...used the pages of the Little Havana-dictated Miami Herald to start the New Year spouting only Little Havana propaganda against Revolutionary Cuba. The Nora Gamez Torres article in the Miami Herald is entitled: "Trump Readies New Sanctions On Cuba/Policies Likely To Remain Same in 2020." So, if you want anti-Cuban propaganda, be sure to dial up the first Gamez article in Little Havana's Miami Herald to kick off 2020.
      From Jan.-1959 till Jan.-2020 Americans have been saturated with articles, videos, books, and lectures from unchecked and powerful Cuban Counter Revolutionaries such as Humberto Fontana. In extreme and well-funded right-wing media outlets like Townhall, which included another vicious Fontana assault on Revolutionary Cuba to close out 2019, anti-Revolutionary propaganda that glorifies and sanitizes the Batista-Mafia rule that spawned the Cuban Revolution proliferates in the USA. "THE MOB DID NOT 'RUN' PRE-CASTRO CUBA!" Of course, not!! Americans know that sweet Mother Teresa ruled pre-Castro Cuba.
     But as mentioned earlier at the top of this post, if you want the truth about Cuba and U.S.-Cuban relations on this first day of 2020, dial up Marc Frank's January 1-2020 article. Marc Frank and the British media giants Reuters and Financial Times are not afraid to tell the truth about Cuba and Cuba-US relations, nor are they paid to distort the truth about Cuba and US relations. Cuban Revelations from the likes of Marc Frank in books or the media or in speeches are true revelations, especially when Little Havana is blessed with a Republican president such as Donald Trump.

Punching Above Its Weight

Cuba On The World Stage!!
      Meet David Asman. He is a liar and propagandist. Unfortunately, he now epitomizes what the mainstream media -- both the print and electronic media -- in the United States has become: A vast saturation of Liars and PROPAGANDISTS masquerading as journalists. David Asman is the host on the Fox Network's "Bulls & Bears" business program. Today -- on December 27th, 2019 -- Asman was one of the typical propagandist panelists on a regular Fox "news" hour -- the kind of "journalists" that sadly now dominate America's television networks that are not obviously no longer concerned with hiring real journalists and letting them gather and dispense real news. Instead people like Asman -- both anchors and the ubiquitous and obnoxious pundits -- are ordered and programmed to provide either left-wing or right-wing propaganda, depending on the political or social persuasions of the ultra-rich network owners, which include either individual multi-billionaires or even corporations worth trillions of dollars. Thus, typically today Asman was just one propagandist pundit on a crowded network surrounded by other pundits dispensing obnoxious punditry. Asman has a fixation on Cuba and, although the discussion wasn't at all about Cuba, he kept getting back to demeaning the island's Revolutionary government. When the discussion evolved into how perfect a nation America is, Asman was inspired to point out that Revolutionary Cuba is the worst nation in the whole world: "When I go to Cuba I see the elites eating on crystal china and the everyday Cubans starving...!!!!!!!" -- or something to that effect. Asman today, as usual, was implying that Revolutionary Cuba is simply the worst nation in the world and Asman was implying that the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship that preceded Revolutionary Cuba was the best government in the world -- a refrain that has been promoted to define the Cuban narrative in the U. S. since the Cuban Revolution overthrew U. S. domination way back in 1959. So, Asman on Fox today was merely a reminder that television network "news" in the United States has now become totally devoid of real journalists while being fully saturated with lying propagandists -- both the anchors and the pundits. Sadly, David Asman, today on Fox, was being nothing more than a lying propagandist, typically of what has replaced real journalists throughout today's U. S. media.
     David Asman's performance on Fox today was laughable, of course, because in a punditry discussion that had nothing to do with Cuba he kept returning to defiling Revolutionary Cuba even though the other pundits on the "news" panel were eager and programmed to lie about their own propaganda topics. But David Asman's weird lies about Cuba pointed out one fact: THE ISLAND OF CUBA SINCE THE TRIUMPH OF THE CUBAN REVOLUTION ON JANUARY 1-1959 HAS VASTLY PUNCHED ABOVE ITS WEIGHT ON THE WORLD STAGE.  Otherwise the propaganda punditry today on Fox would never had injected little Cuba to the forefront. And that fact about Cuba is also amply amplified by the fact that, EVERYDAY since January 1-1959, the strongest nation in the world has tried its damnnest to recapture the pugnacious island.

Marco Rubio's Christmas Wish

To RE-CAPTURE Cuba!!
{It went unfulfilled}
     On December 25th, 2019 -- Christmas day -- the best article about U.S.-Cuba relations was, appropriately, written by John McAuliff. For decades John has been one of the most decent  and most authoritative Americans working tirelessly to improve U.S.-Cuba relations for the benefit of most Americans and most Cuban-Americans. His article today, which you can dial up online, is entitled: "DONALD TRUMP IS NOT YET SHOWING CUBA WHO'S BOSS." That's an interesting update by an expert because President Trump already has been the first U. S. President to activate Title 3 of the infamous Batistiano-written Helms-Burton Act and the Title 3 activation of that anti-democratic abomination has already unleashed "LEGAL" genocide on everyday Cubans on the island at the direction of a few powerful Cubans in the Little Havana section of Miami. Today's Christmas day article by John McAuliff is an excellent updated explanation of why President Trump should be impeached, but...of course...genocide against innocent Cubans is not the reason the U. S. House of Representatives impeached Trump last week, a process that will now be squashed easily by the Republican-led U. S. Senate.
     The photo above shows John McAuliff in 2012 on one of his many humanitarian trips to Cuba, so John knows Cuba's current President Miguel Diaz-Canel from the days when Diaz-Canel was the island's popular Minister of Education before he became First President and President. Thus, John NcAuliff -- a brilliant author, writer, and lecturer -- knows all aspects of the U.S.-Cuban equation from both sides of the Florida Straits that separate the two neighboring nation by just 90 miles. And thus John, on Christmas day in 2019, knows what Miguel Diaz-Canel knows, which is this: A lightweight, self-serving politician from Little Havana in Miami -- Cuban-American Marco Rubio -- is orchestrating the current Trump-authorized Cuban genocide.
      The most egregious thing Trump has done in his first three years as President is not what he has done involving Ukraine, Russia, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, China, etc. The above Trump handshake with Rubio constitutes Trump's most egregious and most impeachable act as President. Trump believes that the rich and powerful Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Little Havana will deliver Trump Florida's 29 absolutely crucial Electoral Votes that he will need for his 2020 re-election. Therefore, in the quintessential Sell-Out disgrace, Trump made Rubio America's Cuban dictator...and, to fulfill Little Havana's insatiable desire that has festered since 1959 to re-capture Cuba, Rubio's ongoing strategy includes unleashing genocide on everyday Cubans on the island. The stratagem has created blockouts and food shortages but, to date, has merely strengthened the resolve of Cubans on the island to continuing do what they have incredibly done since January of 1959, which is a do-or-die struggle to keep the U.S.-backed remnants of the long-ago Batista-Mafia dictatorship to regain control of Cuba.
    Of course, in his role as America's Batista-like Cuban dictator on U. S. soil, Rubio is indebted to Trump but Rubio is closely watched over by far more powerful leaders in Little Havana such as, like shown above, by second-generation members of the Diaz-Balart family whose father Rafael was a top member of the Batista dictatorship in Cuba before, starting in January of 1959, creating the first-ever anti-Castro paramilitary unit in the Miami area.
     It is ironic that President Trump empowered Rubio as America's Cuban dictator because the two men actually hate each other. During the 2016 presidential primary, for example, Rubio called Trump "a con man" and, among other things, Trump ridiculed Rubio as "Little Marco." But as President, Trump put Rubio in charge of Little Havana's genocide against Cubans on the island, which Little Marco believes will result in the re-capture of Cuba.
      And so, on Christmas day in 2019 Donald Trump remains President of the United States and he should be impeached for authorizing Marco Rubio to unleash genocide against everyday Cubans on the island, not for a nebulous statement in a phone Trump call to the new President of Ukraine. Of course, the juxtaposition between documented Cuban truth and  concocted Ukrainian propaganda reflects the fact that entities INCLUDING EVEN the mainstream left-wing U. S. media are deathly afraid of reporting on Little Havana's vice-like grip around Trump's neck, which is even more prominent than the choke-hold Little Havana had on other Republican Presidents since the 1950s.
     This EFE photo showed an angered Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel lashing back at Marco Rubio who lashes at Diaz-Canel via Tweets. It appears that Little Havana's Trump-authorized strategy to regain control of Cuba includes regime-changes in nations allied to Cuba -- especially, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia {which, in fact, recently experienced a coup-transitioned change from a pro-Cuban government to a pro-Little Havana-American government}. Back in January-2019 when he believed Venezuela's pro-Cuban leader was about to be overthrown, an euphoric Marco Rubio couldn't resist blasting a three-word Tweet to Diaz-Canel that said, "See You Soon." Well, Diaz-Canel also has a Tweeter account and he has taken to firing jibes back at Marco Rubio. All experts about today's U.S.-Cuban relations...including Diaz-Canel, the aforementioned John McAuliff, etc...are well aware that "Little Marco" Rubio is dictating America's genocidal, regime-change policies in the Age of Trump.
      It is known that Rubio has recycled the most-famed Counter Revolutionary extremists from the Bush dynasty, such as Otto Reich who helped President George W. Bush's regime-change coup in Venezuela in 2002 although the Venezuelan people within hours had taken to the streets and restored Cuban ally Hugo Chavez back to power. But Rubio's recycling of Bush dynasty Cuban-born anti-Cuban zealots like Otto Reich reminds Latin American nations that ANYTHING related to America's dreaded Batistiano history or to its topicality is tolerated in the USA regardless of what the rest of the world thinks about it.
      And, of course, vicious unchecked Counter Revolutionaries who have spent their entire adult lives trying desperately to DESTROY Revolutionary Cuba have been routinely anointed by Rubio in the Age of Trump to ultra-powerful positions that give them the wherewithal to do THAT. For example, Mauricio Claver-Carone, INCREDIBLY!!!!, is now making vicious anti-Cuban decisions from his perch as AMERICA'S WESTERN HEMISPHERE leader. For decades anti-Cuban zealots have craved such a position, and now Maurico Claver-Carone HAS IT and he is using it EVERYDAY to hurt Cuba, which means hurting everyday Cubans on the island of Cuba AS WELL AS also hurting most Cuban-Americans in the Miami area who desire good Obama-like relations with Cuba.
      So, on Christmas Day in 2019 this photo reveals the true reason that President Trump deserves to be impeached. Ukraine? That is the reason the powerful left-wing U. S. media  and radical Democrats have concocted to impeach Trump. But Trump's desire for Florida's 29 crucial 29 Electoral Votes heading into his 2020 re-election caused him to authorize Little Havana anti-Cuban Counter Revolutionaries such as Rubio and the Diaz-Balarts to unleash genocide against totally innocent Cubans on the island -- and that IS THE REAL REASON TRUMP SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.
           The mainstream U. S. media that is trying so hard to eliminate Trump is simply too afraid to even tell the American people how genocidal Title 3 of Helms-Burton is to the innocent masses in Cuba. That same mainstream U. S. media is also too afraid of Little Havana to tell Americans about the real reason Trump should be impeached, which is genocide against Cuba. Those two facts also explain how much Little Havana since 1959 has reshaped what, beyond question, was once the world's most respected government.

CUBA -- America's Greatest Shame

From 1492 Till Today!!
     The best update this week -- the last full week of 2019 -- regarding the Trump administration's ongoing genocide against everyday Cubans on the island is chronicled magnificently in a gripping article in London's influential The Guardian. It is written by Carrie Gibson, who is easily the world's greatest expert on both Caribbean history and Caribbean topicality. The article is entitled: "QUIET DOCKS, EMPTY STREETS...CUBANS COUNT THE COST AS TOURISTS STAY AWAY." Ms. Gibson began her latest masterpiece on the Caribbean in The Guardian with these words: "After Donald Trump reversed Obama's warming of relations, curtailing flights and cruise-ship visits, the island is braced for a return to economic limbo. Now the docks in Havana are empty, the streets are quiet. While thousands of people once disembarked from cruise ships on a daily basis, the port now lies empty." Ms. Gibson's insight today is why Americans especially need to go Online to read this update that described Trump's and the USA's current genocide against innocent and vulnerable everyday Cubans. And that is important because the U. S. media, including the powerful mainstream left-wing propaganda specialists that primarily hate Trump and spend most of their time trying to evict him, is too afraid to inform Americans the truth about America's greatest historic and ongoing shame -- its history and topicality regarding the nearby island of Cuba.
     Of all the journalists and authors in the world, Carrie Gibson has the best bonafides to tell the world about today's U. S. genocide against everyday Cubans on the island currently being dictated by a handful of vicious Cuban-Americans empowered by President Trump who believes he needs their help to win Florida's crucial 29 Electoral Votes necessary for his re-election in 2020. Ms. Gibson's book "EMPIRE'S CROSSROADS: A New History of the Caribbean" is by far the greatest explanation of America's pernicious relations with Cuba from 1492, when Columbus discovered Cuba, till the eve of 2020. That HISTORY includes the explosion of the U. S. warship Maine, killing 261 U. S. sailors, to create the excuse for the Spanish-Amerian War in 1898 whereby the U. S. wrested  its long-desired imperialist domination of Cuba -- the Caribbean's largest, most beautiful, and most luscious island. The U. S. then dominated Cuba from 1898 till 1959, only losing its ownership of Cuba when the Cuban Revolution incredibly defeated the brutal, thieving U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship, chasing the leaders out of Havana to their new capital of Little Havana in nearby Miami, Florida. Incredibly, from 1959 till the eve of 2020 remnants of the Batista-Mafia regime in Cuba have dictated America's efforts to recapture the island for the Batistianos. Those efforts have included stealing lush Guantanamo Bay from Cuba in 1903 and to this day its where the U. S. has a military base as well as an infamous prison on Cuban soil. Owning the island, however, was exacerbated in 1952 when the U. S. democracy formed a nexus with the leaders of the Mafia -- Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, etc. -- to support the Batista dictatorship JUST SO rich U. S. businessmen could, with the Mafia's help, increase their larceny on the island. But starting in 1952 the extreme brutality against everyday Cubans to protect the robbery spawned the Cuban Revolution, which shocked the world when it triumphed on January 1, 1959. Beginning in Jan.-1959 the Batistiano-Mafia exiles had more than enough money to take total control of Miami economically and politically. That power, with help from the Bush dynasty and other self-serving sycophants, soon resulted in the Batistiano Americans purchasing control of Washington's dictation of Cuban policies. This usurping of the U. S. democracy essentially created a Batistiano government that exists lucratively and powerfully within the U. S. government to this day. YET, incredibly, it has not recaptured Cuba. But since 1959 the reconstituted U. S. government and the sub-government have united to fund and create grossly documented extreme terrorism against innocent Cubans on the island as well as against Cubans in Miami who sympathized with innocent Cubans on the island; the April-1961 Bay of Pigs air-land-and-sea military attack on the island was another U.S.-Batistiano disaster; an extreme U. S. economic embargo/blockade against the island has existed since 1962 till today to shame democracy; and in 1996 vicious Havana-born Counter Revolutionary exiles in Miami -- billionaire Jorge Mas Canosa and Lincoln Diaz-Balart, son of a key Minister in the Batista dictatorship -- crafted the infamous Helms-Burton Act that, from 1996 till today, funnels tons of tax dollars from Washington to selected Cubans in Miami while also legalizing unconscionable punishment for Cubans on the island, punishments that turned GENOCIDAL in April-2019 when Trump activated Title 3 of Helms-Burton that not even the Batistiano-aligned George W. Bush presidency considered too GENOCIDAL to activate; etc., etc. The Carrie Gibson book depicted above chronicles such history and her article in the The Guardian this week updates the Trump-orchestrated genocide against Cubans on the island that is currently taking place. Both scenarios -- the U.S.-Cuban history and the current U. S. genocide against Cuba -- say a helluva lot more about the United States than they say about Cuba, an island nation forced to cope with a lustful nearby Superpower.
     The aforementioned article in The Guardian this week by Carrie Gibson features the above photo, which is courtesy of Adalberto Roque/AFP//Getty Images. It showed, thanks to President Obama's concluding his normalization of relations with Cuba in 2016, Havana Harbor alive with Cubans watching another cruise ship visiting the island. Such tourism thanks to Obama fueled a thriving entrepreneur class in Cuba and the commerce also greatly aided Americans, including all those involved with the ports and other businesses in nearby Florida. But in January-2017 Trump replaced Obama as President and once again, as with all Republican administrations since the 1950s, the Batistiano leaders in Miami and in Congress gained total control of America's Cuban relations. Thus, with the Batistiano grip around Trump's neck, America's shame pertaining to Cuba has involved into genocide against totally innocent Cubans on the island while also, of course, further enriching already rich Cubans in Florida by Trump's activation of Title 3/Helms-Burton that, while legalizing genocide against the island, allows lucrative lawsuits in Florida courtrooms against individuals and companies considered remotely friendly to Revolutionary Cuba.
     The article in The Guardian this week by Carrie Gibson includes the above photo of Cuba reeling under the post-Obama genocide imposed by the grip Batistianos in Miami and in Congress have on President Trump. The fact that a great  foreign journalist-author like Carrie Gibson can write about this American shame while American journalists-authors don't have either the guts or the integrity to do so explains the acute insult to America and Democracy that has been perpetrated by the U.S.-backed Batista rule in Cuba in the 1950s and the Batistiano rule in the United States today. It reconfigured the famed democracy that the United States once so honorably enjoyed.
     So, Americans who are bombarded by the U. S. Media about America's shame about Trump's nebulous and amorphous phone call to Ukraine's new President are not being told about Trump's greatest shame, which involves the Title 3/Helms-Burton genocide being unleashed against innocent Cubans on their vulnerable island. Meanwhile, from London Carrie Gibson this week in The Guardian tells the world about America's greatest shame, which involves ongoing genocide against Cuba perpetrated by the Batistiano government headquartered in Miami with the help of the United States government headquartered in Washington.
    Democracy-loving Americans, after going Online to read Carrie Gibson's must-read article today in The Guardian, should care ENOUGH about their democracy to read Carrie Gibson's seminal book "EMPIRE'S CROSSROADS" that tells Cuba's Spanish and American ownership in the four+ centuries that preceded the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959. In 2019 the King of Spain made a friendly four-day visit to Cuba to apologize for Spain's brutal imperialist domination of the island but the United States of America would need permission from its Batistiano government to either apologize to Cuba or to cease the ongoing TRUMP ERA GENOCIDE that the world knows all about but Americans are not supposed to know about.
   For Americans not to be truthfully told about the difference between Trump's genocide AGAINST Cuba and Obama's decency TO Cuba bespeaks monumentally of America's GREATEST SHAME. A democracy that distorts such a monumental fact is not the great nation that America's Founding Fathers envisioned in 1776.
