Trump-Biden Cuban Starvation Tactics

 The Starvation Plan Is Now 62-YEARS Old!!

     Today -- Friday, August 13th, 2021 -- if you Googled "Cuba News" you get the above three Top Headlines. The Washington-based The Hill indicates that President Biden is expanding on President Trump's genocide against Cuba because Biden wants to get Florida's 29 Electoral Votes for the Democratic Party that the Republican Trump won back in the 2016 election. The Miami Herald, obligated to only promote on extreme Counter Revolutionary measures against Cuba, heralds the fact the U. S. Blockade has pushed Cuba's struggle against COVID to "near collapse" and so the "U. S. wants to send vaccines." That, of course, is the typical and very blatant Miami Herald lie although, if the U. S. Blockade combined with COVID brought about the recapture of Cuba, surely the U. S. would then quickly send vaccines, businesses, tourists, and billions of dollars to return the island to the 1950s when the U. S. and the Mafia supported and grossly benefited from the brutal Batista dictatorship. Then, thirdly, today's headline above by the London-backed Reuters shows some compassion for the families on the island on August 13-2021 as Cuban families are reeling from the twin perils of the Blockade and COVID.
    Today -- 13.08.2021 -- teary-eyed Dr. Francisco Duran is providing the Cuban people the continuing bad news -- 85 more deaths {fallecidos} in the past 24 hours from COVID and 8,312 new positive cases in the past 24 hours. With up to 100 deaths a day in recent weeks, Cuba's total of COVID deaths has suddenly risen to 3,842. And no, the U. S. is not sending vaccines to the island to help Cubans but instead the U. S. blocked Cuba's desire to purchase 30,000 much-needed syringes from a company in Sweden. Perhaps the Miami Herald should report that.
    On August 13-2021 Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez is using Cuban television, the internet, the United Nations, and whatever means he can muster to "denounce the U. S. blockade" while the island is trying to cope with the pandemic.

    While decent sources in the foreign media -- such as The Guardian in London -- can report fairly to the world about Cuba and the Blockade, the U. S. media rejoices about a handful of self-serving benefactors such as Democratic Senator Bob Menendez and Republican Senator Marco Rubio serving unchecked as the lucrative but genocidal dictators of America's Cuban policies. In the United States in August of 2021 only those who support the Embargo/Blockade of Cuba dominate the news media and the legal laws in Washington related to Cuba. That basic fact, I think, says much more about the U. S. in August of 2021 than it says about Cuba's attempt to survive.  
    These four Cuban girls in Cuba are, I think, far more precious than the people in the United States who support or condone the Embargo/Blockade that is trying to destroy the lives or at least the happiness of these four girls. For 62 years the U. S. Embargo-Blockade has tried to starve and deprive Cubans on the island to get them to rise up and overthrow their own Revolutionary government. It hasn't succeeded but, with the likes of Menendez & Rubio dictating Cuban laws, it appears the U. S. is willing to keep the attempted genocide in place for another 62 years. Meanwhile, since 1959 Cuba has provided free educations through college and free healthcare for all its citizens. And meanwhile, while the likes of Menendez & Rubio can use the U. S. media to claim there is no Embargo/Blockade against Cuba and that THEY are the ones helping Cubans on the island, the mothers of the four girls in Cuba that are shown above also have OPINIONS and perhaps one day the U. S. democracy will at least allow the opinions of mothers on the island to be heard, not just the opinions of Menendez's  & Rubio's.

US Sends Genocide To Cuba

 As COVID Takes Full Advantage!!

    Even the New York Times, a left-wing supporter of the Democratic Biden administration {see above}, is finally admitting that Biden's presidency is not only continuing, but EXCEEDING the extreme genocide that the previous Republican Trump presidency imposed on Cuban families in Cuba to appease a handful of extremist U. S. Cubans in Miami and Newark. The beginning of the Aug. 9th-2021 article in the New York Times as you can see above let the world know that President Biden is exceeding President Trump's genocide against Cuban families on the island. And the carnage in Cuba, now including young children, is tightly tied to the ever-expanding U. S. Blockade that is taking advantage of COVID-19 to devastate Cuban families. The rest of the world seems to comprehend what the New York Times confirmed this week but, of course, Americans were programmed to accept Trump's genocide against Cuba and now Americans are programmed to accept Biden's deeper genocide.
    Sanctimonious Americans are quick to use the word "genocide" as it applies to powers like China and Russia but much of the rest of the world in 2021 is applying the word to define the U. S. genocide against Cuba during the pandemic. For the world's strongest and most famed Democracy, the USA, to accept being depicted as taking advantage of a pandemic to expand its genocidal Blockade of Cuba perhaps says much more about the U. S. than it says about Cuba. Of course, it also says that the American people don't give a damn about their own genocide against the people in a much smaller nation...after all, the U. S. is the richest and most powerful nation in the world, so no one can do anything about how we treat Cubans on the island as long as it helps President Trump and now helps President Biden. 
     The U. S. has a two-party political system -- Republican and Democratic -- and what the graphic above says is that both parties are now totally addicted to serving the rich and powerful Cubans who reside in Miami/Little Havana and in Newark/Union City.





     In the United States Carlos Lazo and a million other decent Cuban-Americans are represented by the image depicted above of Cuba & the United States shaking hands. But such U. S. Cubans and their "Bridges of Love" organization are not politically permitted to engage in the vastly important U.S.-Cuba conundrum that says so much about both countries.
    But Carlos Lazo, the kneeling and bald-headed Seattle professor shown above, has ridden his bicycle coast-to-coast 3,000 miles to beg President Trump to end the Blockade and stop the genocide against families in Cuba. But Trump wouldn't listen to Carlos Lazo. Recently this summer Carlos Lazo walked the 1300 miles from Miami/Little Havana to Washington to beg President Biden to end the Blockade and stop the genocide against families in Cuba. But Biden, like Trump, refused to listen to Carlos Lazo or to even acknowledge that U. S. Cubans like him even existed in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!!
    But, of course, if you happen to be a rich and politically powerful U. S. Cuban from Miami/Little Havana -- such as Cuban-born Carlos Jimenez or Miami-born Maria Salazar -- Presidents like Trump & Biden will not only listen to you but they will help you dictate the USA's Cuban policies. Jimenez and Salazar are the two latest contributions to the U. S. Congress from Miami/Little Havana -- with both of them only flying from Miami/Little Havana to Washington/Congress this year in January, 2021. While the mainstream U. S. media is not allowed to report on what U. S. Cubans like Carlos Lazo think about the Blockade, Jimenez & Salazar can and do go on network television anytime they choose and promote the Blockade. Incredibly, in control of the Cuban narrative in the U. S., Jimenez & Salazar flatly go on national TV and proclaim: "There is no Embargo...no Blockade against Cubans on the island. We Cubans in Congress are the ones helping Cubans in Cuba."
    This is a young Cuban in Holguin. While only extremist Cubans from Miami & Newark dictate the Cuban narrative in the U. S., Cubans like this young, well educated, and digital savvy woman in Holguin has passionate opinions about the Blockade and its effect on Covid-19 on the island. But Americans would have to go on Social Media to see and hear this young Cuban's opinions.
    On several prime Social Media forums today -- August 11th, 2021 -- this photo is shown and explained. It shows a young mother in Havana as her 7-year-old daughter gets vaccinated today during the Covid-19 surge that is direly scaring all the brave Cuban mothers on the island. In one recent day, among the 98 deaths were those of a 3-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl. The mother above holding her daughter's hand well knows about the impact the Blockade is having, the Blockade that Miami/Little Havana Cubans say doesn't exist...as it direly threatens children like this.
     But meanwhile, in the United States of America, Cuban-Americans like congresswoman Maria Salazar from Miami/Little Havana can go on national television any hour of the day and say unchecked and self-serving things such as, "There is no embargo/blockade against Cuba." Of course, Cuban mothers on the island cringe with tears streaming down their eyes as they go online and hear such lies saturating the U. S. media.
Welcome to this, America!!!
Welcome to this, America!!

Cubans Die; Does US Senate Rejoice?

 Senators Menendez & Rubio Celebrate!!

With Another Anti-Cuba Senate Bill!!

     One day in August-2021 there were 98 deaths {"fallecidos"} in Cuba, including a 3-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl. The gruesomely targeted island of Cuba announced more staggeringly devastating COVID-19 numbers: 9,363 new positive cases that day {see above}. While Cuban families on the island were crying crocodile tears, Cuban-Americans who dictate the USA's Cuban policies in the U. S. Senate were wildly rejoicing, it seems...and easily passing more Genocidal sanctions against Cuba on the island to take advantage of the ongoing deadly COVID surge!!
      Thus, the rest of the world knows that the United States is flying solo in the support of genocide against Cuban families on the island to appease a handful of rich and powerful individuals from the Counter Revolutionary bastions of Miami/Little Havana and Newark/Union City who are unchecked in dictating the USA's Cuban policies in Washington.
  Above are typical headlines, with the London-based The Guardian allowed to express the world view about U. S. genocide against Cuba while U. S. media are only permitted to express the views of extreme Counter Revolutionaries such as Senator Bob Menendez as he rams yet another genocidal but lucrative anti-Cuba bill through the U. S. Senate even as the U. S. Blockade of the island is already devastating families on the island.
     Of course, in August of 2021 as Senator Bob Menendez dictates Cuban policies to the Biden administration, to the U. S. Senate, to the gullible American people, and to the media, it doesn't matter one iota that Menendez's latest election to yet another six-year term to the U. S. Senate came right after the U. S. Justice Department had spent endless months and tons of tax dollars trying to convict Menendez of multiple felonies only to be saddled with a hung-jury verdict that favored Menendez.
    During the current Biden administration in Washington, Democratic U. S. Senator from Newark/Union City Bob Menendez is unchecked in dictating the USA's Cuban policies. In the previous four years during the Trump administration the Republican U. S. Senator from Miami/Little Havana Marco Rubio was unchecked in dictating the USA's Cuban policies. In the first week of AUGUST-2021 as the U. S. Blockade and Covid-19 are combining to devastate Cuban families on the island, Menendez easily sponsored yet another genocidal bill through the Senate while, of course, the co-sponsor of that bill was Rubio!! The U. S. has only a two-party political system and for the world's strongest Democracy to allow two career and vicious Counter Revolutionary Cubans from the USA's two Batistiano strongholds to dictate the USA's Cuban policies is unfathomable, and the rest of the world indeed knows it is unfathomable!!
   These are two headlines typically circulating around the world in August of 2021. The one on the left is an Editorial in the London-based The Guardian, which has both the freedom and the integrity to report the truth about U.S.-Cuban relations. On the right in August of 2021 is the typical U. S. media's typical headline, which as always only reports what Cuban-American counter revolutionary zealots want the U. S. media to report. Today, therefore, the powerful London newspaper and digital giant The Guardian featured an Editorial deploring the insanity and genocide of the forever-legalized U. S. sanctions against Cuba, which are indeed considered insane and genocidal by the whole world. But, as usual, the U. S. media celebrates yet another inhumane U. S. Senate bill against the harassed families on the island to appease a few Cuban-Americans, especially the 10 residing in the U. S. Congress for the express purpose of pleasing Cubans in Miami and in Newark while also always tightening the genocidal Blockade whose purpose is to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans on the island...you know, to persuade them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government, which way back on Jan. 1-1959 chased the U.S.-backed Batista and Mafia leaders off the island -- mainly to Miami in Florida and Union City/Newark in New Jersey!!
     Of course, if your name is Yoani Sanchez and you already are the most famed and best funded anti-Cuban journalist living in Havana, and you want even more support and funds, you fly to Washington and meet with your favorite two Senators -- the Republican Marco Rubio and the Democrat Bob Menendez. Of course, Yoani well knows that the U. S. has a two-party political system and that she and all the other dissidents in Cuba have that two-party system covered!!!
          Meanwhile, in Cuba everyday the top medical superstar in Cuba, the beloved and brilliant Dr. Francisco Duran, goes on nationwide television to deliver the up-to-date and devastating numbers about how many Cubans have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 24 hours and how many have died from the pandemic in the past 24 hours. And, oh yes...Dr. Duran informs the Cuban people that the excruciating U. S. sanctions that Menendez & Rubio routinely legalize in Washington have drastically expanded the U. S. embargo into a genocidal blockade. As you see above today -- 09/08/21, August 9th-2021 -- Dr. Duran was having to provide that information to the Cuba people even as Cubans on the island assume that Menendez-Rubio are probably preparing even more GENOCIDAL sanctions!!

   Of course, the rest of the world is outraged that any powerful nation keeps expanding a genocidal EMBARGO-BLOCKADE against families in a much-smaller nation, especially when the deadly COVID-19 pandemic is ravaging the very nearby and vulnerable island!!!

Cuba Proud After Tokyo Olympics

 Cubans in Cuba Cheering August 8, 2021!!

    Early this Sunday morning -- August 8th, 2021 -- Cubans on the island got up early to watch Andy Cruz win yet another boxing Gold Medal in the Olympics in Tokyo!! A 25-year-old superstar from Matanzas, Andy Cruz won his gold for Cuba this morning by beating the American Keyshawn Davis by a 4-the-1 score. Cubans on the island, reeling from the ever-tightening Trump-Biden Blockade and from the deadly upsurge of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the cities of Matanzas and Havana, finally had something to cheer for.

     This Getty Images photo shows Cuban Andy Cruz, in the blue, defeating American Keyshawn Davis to win the Gold Medal for Cuba early this morning in the Tokyo Olympics.

   Cuba finished the Tokyo Olympics with 15 overall medals -- 7 gold; 3 silver; and 5 bronze. Only 13 nations in the world...all much larger and not blockaded by a Superpower...won more medals than little, blockaded Cuba. The three Gold medals in Boxing continued the island's all-time dominance of that sport. Cuba is also the all-time baseball powerhouse in all of Olympic history. But this year of 2021 the Cuban baseball team had the vast misfortune of having to play its pre-Olympic tournament in SOUTH FLORIDA, which is controlled by rich and powerful Counter Revolutionary Cubans. Thus, when the Cuban baseball team arrived at its South Florida hotel, a waiting car was running and then whisked away Cuba's best baseball player. Later in the games, the remaining Cuban players were booed and otherwise intimidated by the sanctimonious Cubans in South Florida. Yet, even without its baseball players, Cuba still sent 36 men and 34 women to Tokyo, the smallest delegation Cuba has had in the past 60 years in the Olympics. But Cubans in Cuba, as shown by the graphic above, this morning of Aug.-8th-2021, shed a lot of happy tears for their Olympic winners...not the sad tears they normally shed because of the genocidal Blockade that South Florida continues and which exacerbates the deadly uptick of COVID-19 cases on the vulnerable island.

War vs. China Over Cuba?

 Hopefully Not, But Stay Tuned!!

    These two headlines this week related to the endless and now surging US-Cuba Conundrum should, I think, be dissected. In essence, together they portended an economic war against the world's two strongest economies and militaries -- the US and China.

      Of course, the international media -- such as The Guardian in London -- reflect the view that the endless and now drastically strengthened U. S. Embargo/Blockade on Cuba is "inhumane" and has been so since 1962 and in August of 2021 that cruelty has been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic that is now devastating Cuban families...with the U. S. taking advantage, in the world view, of the situation to finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba.
     That brings us to the top Cuban-related headlines today -- August 5th, 2021. The Newsweek headline reveals that China now wants to take advantage of the Latin American outrage about perceived U. S. genocide against Cuban families during the pandemic. China wants badly to increase its image and power in the region, and it has the economy and military muscle to do it. Saving Cuban families on the island from being starved or dying from COVID as the Trump & Biden administrations drastically tightened the already insanely cruel Embargo into a genocidal Blockade gives ultra-powerful China a chance to emerge as the regional and international hero.
    Since January 1 of 1959 -- when the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by chasing the brutally dictatorial U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista leaders to new sanctuaries in Miami and Newark -- only extreme Counter Revolutionary beneficiaries have been allowed to dictate U. S. policies pertaining to the recapture of the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island. The two U. S. Senators depicted above -- Bob Menendez from Newark/Union City and Marco Rubio from Miami/Little Havana -- have dictated U. S. policies related to Cuba for the PAST FIVE YEARS. In the USA's money-crazed two-party political system, the Republican Rubio dictated blitzing Cuban policies designed to first off continue to greatly empower and enrich Counter Revolutionary Cubans and, secondly, to drastically try to starve Cubans on the island to induce them to overthrow their leaders, which was the purpose of the Embargo when it began way back in 1962. But now during the Biden administration the Democrat Menendez, in 2021, is being allowed to totally dictate the USA's draconian and inhumane Cuban policies.
  Thus, in this first week of August-2021 the headline and photo above was no problem for the U. S. media but it alarmed the international media as well as important Latin American leaders such as Lopez Obrador, the President of Mexico who used a speech streamed live worldwide to emotionally call the U. S. blockade of Cuba during the pandemic to be "incredibly inhumane." For Americans who are programmed not to care about U. S. genocide against Cuban families during the pandemic, what the headline and the photo above means is more U. S. Genocide aimed at Cuban families on the vulnerable island. As Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate, the headline reveals this week that Menendez easily rammed through the Senate YET ANOTHER BILL that legalizes more suffering for the drastically dire Cuban families that were already suffering terribly from other legal bills largely orchestrated by the Republican Rubio and the Democrat Menendez. Of course, because Cuba, their tar baby and piggybank, is a foreign nation, you should know that is why Rubio & Menendez ALWAYS make sure they are Chairmen of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee. Of course, the U. S. media gives Rubio & Menendez convenient passes when it comes to their own very serious and chilling backgrounds that in no way inhibit their safe reelections to continuous 6-year terms in the Senate from, of course, Newark/Union City, and, of course, Miami/Little Havana. And of course, that latest bill depicted above to help Newark Cubans and Miami Cubans, while also greatly adding to the suffering of Cuban families on the island, was sponsored by Menendez and co-sponsored...you guessed it...by Rubio!!!
     Here is what Newsweek today -- Aug. 5-2021 -- wrote about China now confronting the U. S. on the USA's intransigence against Cuba, namely the suffering and worse that the U. S. is invoking toward the island during the deadly pandemic.
     And as above, the Newsweek article today explains correctly that the Biden administration has and is continuing the Trump administration's genocide against Cuba in August of 2021. Mexico, Argentina, and other Latin American nations are alarmed. But, more alarmingly for the U. S., China this week is signaling that it is not only alarmed but is willing to confront the U. S. regarding the USA's inhumane treatment of Cuban families during the pandemic. In other words........
...................will Menendez & Rubio -- the undisputed and unchecked dictators of the USA's Cuban policies -- be allowed to start an economic or military war with China over Cuba? Uh, let' see. China is awash with money, including a trillion dollars that the U. S. admits it owes China. And China has a massive army in numbers but now also is awash in ultra-modern equipment. Could the U. S. win an all-out economic or military war with China? Probably not, but I for one -- with many GREAT-grandkids -- don't want to contemplate it!
      One of the great weaknesses of the mainstream U. S. media...and thus of the U. S. itself...is an overall media that most Americans don't trust, as all polls, including Gallup's recent poll, attest. The truth about the USA's relations with Cuba, for example, is a prime testament to the extreme trustworthiness of the U. S. media. The Cuban narrative in the USA, according to the U. S. media, is solely regulated to extreme and self-serving Cuban-Americans -- like Rubio, Menendez, Salazar, Diaz-Balart, etc., etc. The majority of Cuban-Americans surely don't support genocide against Cuban families in Cuba but, if you depend on the U. S. media, you wouldn't know that. And, for damn sure, the opinions of Cuban mothers on the island are never allowed within the confines of the U. S. media. For example, the photo above shows a Cuban mother in Havana today watching her little daughter being treated at a clinic. In the previous 48 hours the nearly 200 deaths from COVID have included a 3-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl. Yes, great news agencies like London-based Reuters, which has three brilliant and honest journalists reporting regularly from Cuba, and other non-U.S. sources report such things and interview mothers such as Yanet Estevez in Cuba who do, indeed, have opinions about COVID and the blockade. If and when the U. S. media has the guts and the integrity to also concern itself with the opinions of Cubans like Yanet Estevez, the United States and the world will be better places...and, of course, one-year-old girls and 12-year-old girls in Cuba won't keep dying of COVID, a truth that the U. S media will not tell Americans but the same U. S. media will saturate their news about another GENOCIDAL bill that means more GENOCIDE from the U. S. Senate thanks to the unchecked power of the self-serving Bob Menendez and Marco Rubio!!
    When the whole world recognizes that the superpower United States is continuing to impose genocide on Cuban families on the island to appease a handful of Cuban-Americans, as a Democracy-loving American the correct LaTuff comment shown above shames me. And I am astonished it doesn't shame more Americans.
