July 4th-2021 Brings Cuba Terror

 COVID, a Hurricane, and a Blockade!!

       On the afternoon of July 4th-2021 the mainstream U. S media rejoices in promoting anti-Cuban propaganda while real non-U.S. media headline truths regarding the island of Cuba...such as this July 4th headline today by London's The Guardian about a deadly storm beginning to assault Cuba. In the U. S., the multiple threats -- of a deadly storm, the deadly COVID pandemic, and the deadly U. S. Blockade against Cuba -- are celebrated along with the Independence Day celebrations.

    Meanwhile, on July 4th-2021 one of America's remaining true journalists, Tracey Eaton, had a true article related to a Cuban movement taking place now in the United States. Tracey Eaton, now a beloved Journalism Professor in Florida, on July 4th-2021 penned a extremely long and important article, including ten photos, about a Cuban-American professor named Carlos Lazo who is leading a passionate movement in the U. S. to ban the USA's Little Havana-inspired genocidal Blockade against innocent and vulnerable Cuban families in Cuba.

     A professor in Seattle, Carlos Lazo has ridden his bicycle, followed by some of his students, the 3,000+ miles from Seattle to Washington-D.C. to beg the U. S. Congress and the White House to end the Blockade against Cuban families in Cuba. On July 4th-2021 he is now in the early stages of walking, with his followers, from Miami to Washington to tell Congress and the White House to end the Blockade against Cuban families in Cuba: "CUBA IS OUR NEIGHBOR; END THE BLOCKADE NOW."

     The BRIDGES of LOVE movement in the U. S. being led by Carlos Lazo is particularly alarmed that the Biden administration is continuing the extremely genocidal Cuban policies imposed by the Trump administration.

   In America's two-party political system, when the Democrat Biden continues the genocide imposed by the Republican Trump administration against Cuban families, decent Americans and Cuban-Americans -- such as Carlos Lazo -- are ashamed of the unchecked U. S. democracy.

     For sure, Carlos Lazo believes that the majority of Cuban-Americans agree with his views about the genocide aimed at Cuban families from the United States. But the decent Carlos Lazo also believes that the biggest weakness of the U. S. democracy is its incompetent, intimidated, and/or propagandized mainstream media.

Ganging Up On Cuba!!!

 The Lucrative Anti-Cuba Cottage Industry Thrives!!

     A Chilean, Jose Miguel Vivanco is the Executive Director of the Americas Division of the Human Rights Watch. On June 30-2021 he ended the month with an extremely long assault singling out Cuba for its human rights violations. It began this way:

        This is a follow-up to the Trump & Biden administrations keeping Cuba on the USA's List of Terrorist Nations, which enables the vast and lucrative USA Anti-Cuban COTTAGE INDUSTRY to vastly increase its economic and political rewards from the USA's Cuban policies, which the rest of the world considers a genocidal assault on the lives and human rights of Cuban families on the island. Of course, the incompetent, intimidated or propagandized U. S. media makes sure to ignore the opinions of the actual Cuban families on the island. But one family on the island -- featuring Mr. & Mrs. Miguel Diaz-Canel -- has pertinent opinions about the perpetrators or protectors of Humana Derechos {Human Rights} in Cuba.

  The First Lady and President of Cuba are Lis Cuesta and Miguel Diaz-Canel. Both are very concerned about Human Rights on the island. Both have children on the island and both have opinions about Human RIGHTS!! For example, Lis has this opinion: "Like most mothers in Cuba, we have lived all our lives, for six decades, trying to protect our children from the genocide that a few rich Cuban-Americans and the U. S. government have imposed and is imposing on our children. As long as the cruelty and greed continues to exist from the strongest and richest nation in the world, it will always be the task of Cuban mothers on the island to protect our children from unchecked criminals in the neighboring United States." And Miguel said: "As the President of Cuba, it is my job to protect the people on this island, most especially our children, from the people in the United States who are allowed to profit on the genocide that targets the masses of Cuban citizens who happen not to live in Miami, Newark, and Washington. We endure drastic Hurricanes, Pandemics, and other atrocious things but the most consistent and the most nefarious thing we must endure is the criminal blockade that the superpower surrounds us with. In 1959, before I myself was born in 1960, some dedicated rebels chased the Mafia and Americans off the island...but only as far as Miami. Since then it has been the job of other rebels to deal with such exile criminals."

   This photo shows Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel mingling typically with Cubans on the streets, at meetings, and in classrooms, which he does regularly. Before becoming Cuba's President he was the island's very popular Education Minister. As Cuba's President, Diaz-Canel is also very popular with most everyday Cubans. People who visit the island or live on the island know that but Americans, of course, are told differently because such facts would not align with the vast and lucrative Anti-Cuba Cottage Industry in the United States.

      With Cubans in Cuba surprised and dismayed that the Biden administration has continued the Trump administration's genocide against Cuban families on the island, this is a new billboard erected in Cuba. It begs for "The End of the Blockade."

     Now into the month of July-2021, Cuban families on the island --  perhaps more than ever -- lament the geographical and historical fact that their vulnerable and coveted island nation is a mere 90 miles across the Florida Straits from Miami, Florida, which is home to Little Havana!!

WHY Biden Continues Trump's Cuban Genocide?

 Best Answer is by William M. LeoGrande!!!

William M. LeoGrande

     A renown Professor of Government at American University in Washington, D.C., William M. LeoGrande has also been, for decades, America's premier expert on U.S.-Cuban Relations. His books include "THE HIDDEN HISTORY of NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN WASHINGTON and HAVANA." Because of his impeccable integrity, LeoGrande's vital expertise is usually shunned by the USA's left wing/right wing media biases that basically cater only to extreme propagandists. But in books, articles, essays, and speeches about U.S.-Cuban Relations, those interested in the truth about the USA's contentious involvements with Cuba often depend on William M. LeoGrande's accurate and unbiased viewpoints.

         So in these final days of June-2021 William M. LeoGrande, not surprisingly, has best answered why the Democratic Biden administration has continued the extremely cruel genocide imposed on Cuban families in Cuba by the Republican Trump administration. His must-read article originated this week in The Hill, one of Washington's prime political sources.

   The excerpts above are a part of William M. LeoGrande's extremely long and important article that best EXPLAINS why President Biden has continued President Trump's extreme genocide against Cuban families on the island to appease the extreme Counter Revolutionary Cuban profiteers who control Florida's vital political system that Biden believes will dictate whether the Democratic Party can perpetuate its left-wing political agenda on the national level. The extreme greed of the Republican Party since 1959 has drastically exploited the extreme Batistiano Cubans who fled the Cuban Revolution and created Little Havana in the heart of Miami. Now the Democratic Party under Biden has decided to do the EXACT SAME THING. And, as the great William M. LeoGrande explains above, the Democratic Party under Biden is willing to impose genocide on Cuban families in Cuba to appease the Cubans in Miami and in Congress who, in turn, will supposedly make sure that the Democratic Party wins Florida's political support that the Republican Party under Trump captured because Trump was willing to impose genocide against Cubans in Cuba and, of course, Trump also gave the Miami Cubans a vast plethora of financial windfalls to buttress their already huge bank accounts. Now Biden's Democratic Party is willing to do exactly what Trump's Republican Party did from January-2017 till January-2021. Unfortunately, the USA has only a two-Party political system...and both now subscribe to Little Havana's two prime inducements: {1} Financial windfalls; and {2} Genocide against Cuban families on the island.

           When only a few American experts, such as William M. LeoGrande, have both the courage and the integrity to tell the truth about U.S.-Cuba relations, a U. S. government dictated to by Little Havana is coming to fruition now that Little Havana can dictate to the Democratic Party just as it has dictated to the Republican Party since the 1950s. And YES, Americans who don't give a damn about the genocide being imposed on Cuban families on the nearby island should at least be concerned about Little Havana's GRIP on BOTH of the USA's POLITICAL PARTIES.

U.S. Media Promotes Cuba Genocide

 But One Has the Guts to Report the Truth!!

A Comment:

This is Portia Siegelbaum of CBS News

     In the United States of American in June of 2021 there remain a plethora of well-funded blogs and other propaganda-obsessed outlets who dominate Cuba-U.S. news, perpetrating the lucrative economic and political rewards for the USA's Cuban policies that have existed virtually unchecked for decades despite their draconian and genocidal traits!! Unfortunately for the U. S. democracy, the mainstream U. S. media -- both print & electronic outlets -- are among the purveyors of such lucrative anti-Cuban propaganda. There is, however, one notable journalist within the realms of the U. S. media -- Portia Siegelbaum of CBS News -- that has both the guts and the integrity to actually report the truth about U.S.-Cuba relations.

  Portia Siegelbaum has worked for CBS News for decades, she was lovingly married to a well-known Cuban in Cuba for years till his death, she still lives in Havana, and she knows the trials & tribulations of everyday Cubans because she shares their daily lives, whether it entails Hurricane-force winds & rain or genocidal assaults from a nearby Superpower nation.

     Shamefully for the U. S. democracy, Portia Siegelbaum is a rare bird among the mainstream media because she reports fairly about Cubans on the island, unafraid of the extremist Cuban-Americans who dictate the USA's Cuban policies to suit their whims, desires, and, mostly, their bulging bank accounts.

      And for the record, here is how Portia Siegelbaum's honest reporting for CBS News honestly informed the American people about how Cubans in Cuba viewed this week's latest denunciation by the entire world of the USA's draconian/genocidal blockade of Cuban families on the island:

       Now please remember...in the land of the free and the home of the brave...if you live in the United States today you are supposed to not be free or brave enough to even read the article above penned by a great journalist, Portia Siegelbaum, who has lived and worked in Havana for decades for CBS News. That is because Portia Siegelbaum is not only a great journalist but she knows more about everyday Cubans in Cuba than any journalist in the entire world. That, of course, is why you should not be free or brave enough to read or hear her reports from Cuba about what Cubans in Cuba think about the U. S. blockade in 2021 that was started in 1962 as an embargo intended to "starve, deprive, and make miserable" the Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government. It hasn't happen and, so, in June of 2021 the cruel embargo has been expanded into a genocidal TRUMP-BIDEN blockade of the island, all to please and profit another generation of politically-powerful Cubans in the United States.

     As the "bad & mean" Cubans in Cuba, like the little girl above, face genocide because the "good & nice" Cubans {and their sycophants} in the United States profit from it, a uniquely honest U. S. journalist like Portia Siegelbaum is a godsend for the hopeful resurrection of the U. S. democracy...at least if the few remaining legitimate journalists in the United States are not totally drowned out by the plethora of extremist propagandists who now masquerade willy-&-nilly as real journalists are finally reined in by the U. S. citizens...because it is obvious that the billionaire individuals and companies who dominate the mainstream U. S. media now are egregiously in charge of what once was a respected mainstream media in the United States...you know, in the America that once was the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!!!!

World Denounces U.S. Cuba Blockade

 EXCEPT FOR,

Of course,

the U. S. & Israel!!

This image was at the UN today.

     Today -- June 23rd, 2021 -- for the 29th consecutive year the world loudly denounced the U. S. Embargo/Blockade against Cuban families. Today the vote in the United Nations in NY was 184-to-2. As you can see above, the two red dots reveal that the two usual suspects -- the United States and Israel -- were the only two nations in the whole world to vote to continue the six-decade-old Embargo, which is easily history's longest and cruelest embargo ever conducted against masses of people in a much smaller nation by miscreants in a much larger nation. Of course, greed prolongs the embargo: A few Cubans & Americans benefit; while Israel is by far the largest recipient of billions of dollars from the United States.

      Billions of decent people in 184 of the world's nations today -- June 23rd, 2021 -- particularly voiced their opinions of the endless U. S. embargo being expanded into a genocidal blockade by the Trump and Biden administrations as the neighboring island also battles the deadly COVID pandemic.

     Of course, in the USA's two-party political system there are 535 members of the United States Congress. But...it only takes two vicious Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans -- Senator Bob Menendez and Senator Marco Rubio -- to dictate America's Cuban policies, such as the extremely cruel but very lucrative Embargo/Blockade. Thus, Rubio, a Republican, easily dictated Cuban policy to President Trump and now Menendez, a Democrat, is easily dictating Cuban policy to President Biden. In that milieu, of course, this generation of U. S. citizens are programmed not to be ashamed of shameful worldwide images of their Democracy...including images like these:

Un-wonderful

IMAGES of the U. S.

But

ENDLESSLY allowed!!!

Like Trump, Biden Accepts Cuban Genocide

 Money Rules Democrats too!!!

    When the Democrat Joe Biden replaced the Republican Donald Trump as President of the United States on Jan. 20-2021, many decent people around the world thought that Biden would end or at least lessen Trump's genocide against Cuban families in Cuba. But by late June of 2021 that hasn't happened and won't happen!! You see, the USA's two-party political system consists of two parties that are both money-crazed. And regarding Cuba, there is simply too much MONEY propelling the lucrative Cuban policy!!!! Thus, regardless of the propaganda spoon-fed to Americans daily, the genocide against Cuban families on the island that Biden inherited from Trump will not be ceased or lessened by Biden.

       The most ultra-powerful journalist in Miami, Jorge Davila Miguel, works for four ultra-powerful anti-Cuban U. S. media outlets -- the Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, McClatchy, and CNN. Yet, Davila on June 20-2021 penned the best article this week regarding President Biden now following Trump's genocidal path regarding Cuba. The Davila article is entitled: "WHY IS BIDEN FOLLOWING ON TRUMP'S FOOTSTEPS ON CUBA." This is the beginning of the article:

    This week's pertinent article by Jorge Davila Miguel, flashed around internationally by CNN, reminds the world correctly that the USA's Cuban policy is starkly opposed by almost every decent person and every decent nation worldwide. As the near-unanimity of the UN Vote has revealed for decades, the world's revulsion to the the USA's genocide against Cuban families since 1962 has been able to indure because of two factors: {1} Excess greed backed by the world's economic and military Superpower; and {2} excess cowardice by generations of Americans who don't have the courage to defend their Democracy. Those two realities were acknowledged in the aforementioned article by Miami's powerful journalist Jorge Davila Miguel, and Davila also had the integrity and guts to point out that the Biden administration in Washington, like the Trump administration that preceded it, is far too money-crazed to lessen the genocide against Cubans on the island because a few ultra-rich and ultra-powerful Counter Revolutionary U. S. Cubans -- Menendez, Rubio, Diaz-Balart, Claver-Carone, etc., -- simply won't allow Biden to do anything about it!!!! Below are some more correct points that Jorge Davila Miguel stressed this week:

     As the Davila article this week points out, even if a powerful journalist from Miami and from CNN writes the honest truth, this generation of cowardly and propagandized Americans will continue to tolerate and accept Biden's genocide against innocent Cubans in 2021 just as they tolerated and accepted Trump's genocide against innocent Cubans during the previous four years.

    All around the world in June of 2021 there are decent people, such as the ones above, praying for and demanding that the U. S. Genocide against masses of innocent Cuban families in Cuba "end." But, of course, that won't happen. Like what has happened for many decades, now there is SIMPLY TOO MUCH MONEY involved for too many rich and powerful people to make President Biden to cease or lessen the Genocide against Cubans on the island. Even if, it seems, that the most powerful journalist in Miami, Jorge Davila Miguel, is brave enough to explain THAT FACT OF LIFE in the United States of America.

Little Havana Shames U.S. Journalism

 With Propaganda Saturation!!

     If today -- on  June 18th, 2021 -- you made a Google search for "The Top News About Cuba" you would discover that the "Top Cuba Stories" are the three depicted above. The first one is a typical propaganda piece in the Miami Herald distorting Cuba's urgent battle against COVID-19 and, as usual, demeaning Cubans on island because they "need syringes" to facilitate the island's vital vaccine programs. Of course, Miami Herald propagandists masquerading as journalists will not mention that the U. S. Cuban policy, dictated largely by Little Havana/Miami extremists, this month dictated that the Swiss company that was providing the much-needed syringes to Cuba was BLOCKED from doing so because of the genocidal Little Havana/Miami-mandated Blockade against masses of Cubans on the island. Such genocide dictated by Little Havana/Miami and celebrated by the Miami Herald is commonplace.

     By contrast to the Miami Herald's usual propaganda article today, please note that the other two top articles were actually written by real journalists...such as Sarah Marsh. As you can see in the middle above, her article's headline is: "Drop in Havana COVID-19 Cases Boosts Hopes Cuban Vaccines Working." Sarah Marsh works from inside Cuba and she works for the London-based REUTERS News Agency, so she is thus allowed to write real news articles from Cuba and not just propaganda-fueled articles that please Little Havana. The third Top News Article related to Cuba today -- "U. S. Sanctions On Cuba and Venezuela Hamper Global Fights Against Covid." Such articles, of course, are not afraid of Little Havana's control of the U. S. media's reporting on Cuba.

     From 1959 till 2021 the emergence of Little Havana as Cuba's capital on U. S. soil has spawned many Cuban millionaires and billionaires in Miami but it also has had major deleterious effects on the U. S. democracy, particularly regarding journalism. Little Havana, located in the heart of Miami, from its origin as a creation of rich and powerful Counter Revolutionary Cubans aligned with their rich and powerful sycophants, has usurped the U. S. media to the point of transforming news gathering into propaganda gatherers and dispensers -- painting remnants of Batista's Cuba into pious and virtuous stalwarts of humanity and democracy while conveniently depicting Revolutionary Cuba since 1959 as the world's most devious and depraved government. Both of those propositions are designed to make millionaires and billionaires on U. S. soil while also committing genocide against masses of innocent Cubans in Cuba. In addition to influencing mainstream U. S. media entities to promote propaganda suited to Little Havana's very lucrative and one-sided Cuban directives, since 1959 deeply programmed Americans have been saturated with high-profile Cuban speakers, authors, bloggers, university professors, "journalists" and other propagandists unrelentingly serving up Counter Revolutionary rhetoric!!!

ABSOLUTELY!!

       "Prior to the rebels taking over Cuba in 1959 there was no Mob, no Mafia influence in Cuba. The Batistianos in Cuba prior to 1959 and in Miami since 1959 were and are the nicest people in the world and they showed that by taking care of the children of peasants even better than they took care of their own children. So, remember you American tax-payers and voters, keep all those dollars and all those votes to support us Cubans in the U. S. so we can annihilate all those bad Cubans in Cuba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
