Cuba vs. Trump and COVID-19

Both Bring Death!!

     As of today -- Friday, April 17th, 2020 -- the island of Cuba reports 923 confirmed cases of the Coronavirus. More and more, even Americans are being told that the genocidal Trump/Little Havana administrations in Washington and Miami are gradually increasing the death totals in Cuba.

    For over two decades Anthony DePalma was the top Cuban expert at the New York Times. Today Mr. DePalma returned to write the major Editorial in the NY Times. It is entitled: "TRUMP PANDEMIC TACTICS HURT CUBANS." In assessing how President Trump and the Counter Revolutionary Cuban extremists who dictate America's Cuban policies are taking advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to further assault everyday Cubans on the island, Mr. DePalma said: "Cuba's fragile economy, already suffering {from Trump's and Little Havana's genocidal blockade}, was dealth a sharper blow when all the tourist hotels were forced to close, putting more than 120,000 people out of work on the island." As one of America's all-time keenest observers of the failure to recapture Cuba for the exiles from the Batista-Mafia dictators who were chased to the U. S. way back in January of 1959, Anthony DePalma's New York Times Editorial today is a keen perspective on how everyday Americans permit self-serving politicians like Trump, controlled by a few Cuban extremists, get away with committing genocide against masses of Cubans who happen to not to be in Miami, Newark, or the U. S. Congress.

   Some of the best books about Cuba and its tumultuous relationship with the United States have been written by Anthony DePalma, and he has a brand new one!!

     This is Anthony DePalma's next must-read book about the lives of Cubans on the island today after they...and their parents and grandparents...have faced over six decades of being targeted unmercifully by the world's nearby Superpower acting on behalf of two generations of exiles from the brutal Batista regime. This next DePalma book will be published by Penguin in a little more than a month -- on May 26th, 2020.

     Anthony DePalma, of course, wrote the classic book "THE MAN WHO INVENTED FIDEL."

       Of course, the legendary NY Times journalist Herbert Matthews was the man who invented Fidel Castro. Appalled by the brutalily that the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship was meting out to everyday Cuba, Matthews wrote front-page stories in the powerful NY Times about what he saw first-hand in Cuba starting in 1952. This historic photo was taken in 1957 when Matthews had his monumental interview with Fidel in the Sierra Mountains of far eastern Cuba. This photo and interview, when they were published in the NY Times, told the world that Fidel was "still alive and still LEADING THE REBEL ARMY." That was important because dictator Batista in Havana and his stooges in Washington were telling the world that Fidel was dead and that the rebel army "fighting weakly" far from Havana would be totally wiped out in a few days. Fidel, as shown above, told Matthews that not only was he still alive but his rebels would soon begin capturing cities on the eastern end of Cuba "and then continue all the way to the west, till we capture Havana."

      After all of Batista's predictions in 1957 were debunked and all of Fidel's predictions in 1957 came true, the photo above was taken in 1960. That was the second year of Fidel's long reign as the leader of Revolutionary Cuba. In 1960 this photo shows Fidel pinning a medal on the lapel of the appreciative Herbert L. Matthews, the legendary New York Times journalist that Anthony DePalma named "The Man Who Invented Fidel." Mr. Matthews is famed to this day for telling NY Times readers about the Batista-Mafia brutalities in the 1950s prior to Fidel's revolutionary victory.

      Later, Anthony DePalma followed Herbert L. Matthews's footsteps as a legendary New York Times journalist. And today -- May 17th, 2020 -- Anthony DePalma wrote a scathing Editorial in the New York Times about President Trump's USA brutality against everyday Cubans on the island.

AND BY THE WAY:

      In addition to Anthony DePalma's new book about Cuba that will be published on May 26th, 2020, the book shown above entitled "YOUNG FIDEL" by Harvard historian Jonathan M. Hansen will be published by Simon & Schuster on June 30th, 2020.

        The London-based The Guardian says that both Anthony DePalma's new book and Jonathan Hansen's new book are both important because "Fidel still rules Cuba in 2020 although he died at age 90 in 2016."

And The Guardian is correct.

AND ALSO...BY THE WAY:

       Behind the Coronavirus mask is Raul Castro. He is shown Friday afternoon, April 17-2020 chairing a meeting about the COVID-19 pandemic. Raul Castro turns 89 on June 3rd. He is sitting at the top of the photo shown below.

US Journalists Promote Cuban Genocide

Justifying 1950's Batista-Mafia Dictatorship!!

         One of the highest-profile U. S. journalists promoting genocide against everyday Cubans during the Coronavirus pandemic is Mac Margolis. He is the Caribbean and Latin American expert at Bloomberg News. Margolis thinks that the Trump administration's current genocide against masses of Cubans on the island should be increased to take advantage of the vulnerable island's battle against the COVID-19 crisis. Bloomberg News is a powerful U. S. media source owned by Mike Bloomberg, whose personal wealth exceeds $60 billion. Apparently echoing the sentiments of his boss, Mac Margolis writes: "By allowing Havana to exploit the virus, currency will just empower repression at home." As a promoter of the greatness of the Batista-Mafia repression back in the 1950's, Mac Margolis is one of the biggest liars in the U. S. media in 2020.

     Appalled by what she considers Mac Margolis's genocidal attack on Cuba's mothers and their children, journalist-author Belen Fernandez wrote what today -- April 16th, 2020 -- is probably the most indelible and most-read international article related to Cuba. In contrast to the cruel and gutless Mr. Margolis, Ms. Fernandez's article is entitled: "Cuba Under Media Attack For Sending Doctors, Not Bomb's, To Help COVID-19 Victims." In her article, Ms. Fernandez blocked off Mac Margolis's genocidal comment, which reminded her that rich U. S. businessmen partook in the U.S.-backed Batista-MAFIA's brutal rape and robbery of Cuba in the 1950's prior to the 1959 victory of the Cuban Revolution. Belen Fernandez, the author of "THE IMPERIAL MESSENGER," wrote in today's article: "As Coronavirus ravages the world, Cuba has exhibited disproportionate heroism..."

       While greedy imperialists like Mac Margolis cruelly lament that Cuba might attain a few pesos by sending hundreds of excess, well-trained doctors to help other devastated COVID-10 nations, Belen Fernandez used the photo above to report that small nations like Jamaica and Barbados as well as rich, large nations like Italy and Spain have begged for, and received, Cuban doctors like the ones above during this year's unique pandemic.

      The compassionate American journalist, Belen Fernandez, points out that Revolutionary Cuba, as it has done since 1959, provide free health care, free education through college, and free food if needed for all the Cuban children on the island today. Ms. Fernandez says that the most amazing thing about the Cuban Revolution was not that it defeated the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in 1959. Ms. Fernandez says that the most AMAZING THING about the Cuban Revolution is the fact that it has survived the 6-decades-old ALL-OUT EFFORT of the U. S. and the Little Havana Mafia to recapture the island. While Mac Margolis at Bloomberg News in 2020 will tell Americans how well the children of the Mafiosi and the U. S. businessmen in Cuba in the 1950's were so wonderfully treated, Belen Fernandez reminds us today that the children of everyday Cubans in Batista's Cuba were not only just neglected but cruelly assaulted...as depicted by the following 4 photos.

       The four above photos from Batista's Cuba in the 1950s spawned the Cuban Revolution. "CESEN LOS ASESINATORS DE NUESTROS HIJOS. MADRES CUBANAS" translates to: "STOP THE MURDERS OF OUR CHILDREN. CUBAN MOTHERS." The Cuban woman wearing the short white jacket in the photo above was the mother of the murdered Little Willie Soler. Mothers like these fueled the Cuban Revolution, even more than the dire poverty that the Batista-Mafia dictatorship imposed on the island's peasant children.

     This photo shows a Cuban child being treated at what TODAY is at Cuba's WILLIAM SOLER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL that is named for the murdered Little Willie Soler.

      That smile above belongs to Dr. Susett Gonzalez. She saves children's lives today at William Soler Children's Hospital in Havana.

    Recently, Dr. Susett Gonzalez and her husband Rudy became the parents of their first child, a boy named Roman.

     This baby boy, Roman, is better treated today in Cuba than the non-rich babies born in Batista's Cuba were treated. Having been to Cuba, I sincerely believe that explains the latest phenomenon about the Cuban Revolution, which is: How in the hell it has survived for 6+ decades!!!!

      Meanwhile, when rich and cruel U. S. journalists -- such as the rich and cruel Mac Margolis at Bloomberg News -- suggest that the rich and cruel Trump administration, on behalf of a few rich and cruel Cubans in Little Havana USA, advocate genocide as a tool to recapture Cuba, I hope that someday enough brave American mothers will object. Till then, I hope there are enough Cuban mothers, like Dr. Susett Gonzalez at William Soler Children's Hospital, who will continue to OBJECT!!

Welcome to Dr. Gonzalez's Cuba.

Some Key Images of Havana!!

       As of today -- April 15th, 2020 -- Cuba has 814 confirmed cases of the Coronavirus and 24 deaths. The island's population is 11.5 million.

World Knows of US Cuban Genocide

Non-US Networks Appalled!!

     As of today -- April 14th, 2020 -- Cuba has 40 new confirmed cases of Coronavirus/COVID-19 for a total of 766 with, so far, 21 deaths. All such statistics are daily reported to the Cuban people in Spanish and, as above, in English.

     While neither the majority of the American people nor the mainstream U. S. media don't give a damn, the rest of the world is being told about and even cares about the Cuban people in Cuba having to battle the Coronavirus pandemic while also having to battle the genocidal export-import Blockade being cruelly imposed on the Cuban people by the nearby Superpower, the United States of America. France 24 is an ultra-powerful and influential international News Network based in Paris that broadcasts in many languages, including Spanish and English. Today in English France 24 is telling the world about the extreme cruelty of the U. S. Blockade against Cuba during the current pandemic. The video and print report is entitled: "CALLS TO LOOSEN US SANCTIONS AS CUBA BATTLES PANDEMIC." While Americans have been programmed not to care, it is apparent that the rest of the does care.

      The France 24 update today on the U. S. Blockade of Cuba even as the island nation battles the Coronavirus crisis was illustrated by the photo above taken yesterday -- April 13th, 2020 -- by Yamil Lage for the AFP News Agency and then distributed by other major outlets. It shows a masked Cuban woman bedecked in the U.S. flag while fighting both the U. S. blockade and the equally deadly COVID-19 virus. The photo conveys the fact that Cubans on the island don't hate Americans and...they don't deserve to be subjected to a genocidal Blockade by the nearby Superpower. This woman and all 11.5 Cubans on the island were hoping that worldwide news reports about the U. S. blocking other nations from sending medical and food supplies to Cuba during the pandemic would shame Americans to at least loosen the Blockade. But that, of course, hasn't happened.

      An unholy alliance between President Donald Trump and the self-serving Marco Rubio -- who represents a few fierce Cuban-American benefactors in Miami, Newark, and the U. S. Congress -- elevated the U. S. EMBARGO against Cuba, first imposed in 1962, into a genocidal BLOCKADE against masses of everyday Cubans on the island.

     For six decades the U. S. Embargo of Cuba has shamed America and Democracy in the eyes of the world. Yet, two cowardly generations of Americans have lacked the guts to do anything about it...even as the Caribbean's most pugnacious island nation has refused to capitulate, perhaps because Cubans in Cuba too vividly remember the brutal U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship that was chased to U.S. soil by the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959.

       When a lightweight politician from Little Havana in Miami can be allowed to act like a Batista-like dictator on U. S. soil and in the mainstream media, the United States may well be in more trouble in 2020 than Cuba.

     In 2019 Little Havana benefactors like Rubio persuaded President Trump to activate Title III of Helms-Burton, the provision that legalizes U. S. genocide against Cuba...along, of course, legalizing lawsuits designed to enrich Little Havana Cubans even more than they are obscenely rich already. Not even the George W. Bush presidency would activate Title III because of it clearly aims pinocchio-like genocide against the masses of innocent Cubans like those depicted above. BUT HEY!!!! As far as the majority of the American people and the mainstream U. S. media are concerned, genocide from the USA against masses of innocent people in one particular small country, Cuba, is fine.

BUT THE REST OF THE WORLD OBJECTS!!

     Of course, the media and the people in the rest of the world seriously frown on U. S. genocide against masses of Cubans on the island. Yet, as the U. S. is seeming to say in the graphic depicted above: "The USA has more nuclear weapons than the rest of the world combined, so if we want to commit genocide on Cuba, you can't stop up."

Wow!!!! What a dictator????

IF YOU LOVED Batista in Cuba,

You'll surely love Rubio in the USA.
