How Cubans Get Rich in the USA

 Ask Jeff & Miguel Bezos!!

    Before emerging as the richest man in the history of the world Jeff Bezos started off humbly, being born to destitute teenage parents in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His hourly Gold Mine, of course, is Amazon but his toys include the once-iconic news source Washington Post. Jeff Bezos's path to becoming the richest person in the history of the World began when he was four-years-old and his step-father became Cuban-born Miguel Bezos. Although it is not politically nor socially correct to mention it, the Jeff Bezos nexus with Cuba sharply chronicles how the step-son of Miguel Bezos became the richest person in history.

    For decades the Washington Post was an ultra-powerful liberal source in the U. S...with international repercussions too. But once the U. S. democracy began forsaking monopoly rules and allowed ultra-rich individuals and corporations to purchase major media properties, the Jeff Bezos purchase of the Washington Post had no hurdles. Thus, in the Jeff Bezos era, much of the mainstream media in the U. S. has gone from ultra-liberal to ultra/left-wing propaganda sources...with the other end of the mainstream media spectrum becoming ultra/right-wing propaganda sources. That, as Gallup and other respected polls reveal, means most Americans "don't trust" the mainstream U. S. media now, which is a terrible situation to be inflicted on a Democracy. One of the victims of the left-wing/right-wing tilt to the mainstream U. S. media is U.S.-Cuba Relations. And the extreme left-wing voice of Jeff Bezos's Washington Post is a prime example of how, in the U. S., the only people who are usually allowed to express opinions about U. S. relations with Cuba are extreme dissidents in Cuba or Cuban-American benefactors in prime Counter Revolutionary cities such as Miami, Newark, and Washington. If, for example, 10 million of the 13 million Cubans on the island are extremely supportive of their revolutionary government, their opinions normally are never aired in the U. S. media. On the other hand, if you happen to be a vicious dissident on the island, either by individual choice or well-backed leanings, mainstream U. S. media sources -- such as the Bezos-owned Washington Post -- lavishly quote Counter Revolutionary Cubans or routinely allow them to even pen their own anti-Cuba Editorials. For example, in this next-to-last week of October-2021 I suggest you dial up the latest anti-Cuban diatribe in the WASHINGTON POST:
     It appears this week that the Washington Post is chagrinned {above} that "spontaneous" anti-Cuban protests back in July didn't result in the long-cherished overthrow of Cuba's revolutionary government. Therefore, it appears now that the Washington Post -- along with most of the other left-wing/right-wing media sources in the U. S. -- are promoting that yet another "spontaneous protest in Cuba" set on a specific date next month, November of 2021, will finally result in the overthrow of Cuba's revolutionary government. In the Washington Post ant-Cuba promotion this week, as you see above, whatever Michel Parra says is taken and presented as gospel. Is that because...uh...he says only what fits the Washington Post's anti-Cuban narratives????? And, as a Democracy-loving American who has been to Cuba, permit me to wonder if such articles...or propaganda...say much more about the USA than about the island of Cuba???
      The aforementioned Washington Post article used the photo above to explain the police brutality that supposedly quelled the anti-government protests back in July. The Cuban government as well as numerous Cubans on multiple Social Media outlets said the protesters were mercenaries or, at least in part, encouraged by Miami, Newark, and Washington entities. And, if that is true or even if it is partly true, that fact should at least be mentioned by the U. S. media in its incessant saturations and condemnations of Revolutionary Cuba, which implies that most, or almost all, the Cubans on the island VERILY LONG for the return of the pre-revolutionary Batista dictatorship that was supported by the Mafia and the United States.
    Cuba's historic Revolutionary leader Fidel Castro died at age 90 in 2016. So, in the waning days of October-2021, whose legacy remained the primary image, as shown above, that led the pro-government protests to quell the anti-government protests back in July?? Moreover, next month in November of 2021 when the next "spontaneous" anti-government protests begin in Cuba, it will again be the legacy of Fidel Castro that will almost certainly fuel the counter pro-revolutionary protests on behalf of the Cuban Revolution. The odds were at least a million-to-one against the revolutionary victory on January 1-1959 and the odds have been at least a billion-to-one against its longevity for all these decades since that date. Since Jan. 1st-1959 Americans have been told that almost every Cuban on the island hated/hates Castro and his Revolution. But that is not so. And if that had been so, there would never had been a revolutionary victory in January-1959 and there would have never been the revolution's longevity since January-1959. Perhaps the Washington Post or someone in the rest of the Counter Revolutionary U. S. media one day might explain how the Cuban Revolution triumphed and how it has lasted for all these decades, but don't count on that. You see, since January of 1959 the extremely lucrative COUNTER REVOLUTIONARY CUBANS ON U. S. SOIL, from Miami to Washington, HAVE SIMPLY reaped vast fortunes for simply being Counter Revolutionaries in the U. S...including, of course, Miguel Bezos...and his step-son.

    Beginning in January of 1959, the Cubans who fled Revolutionary Cuba for their sanctuary on U. S. soil, particularly in Miami/Little Havana, were instantly surprised that they had vast advantages that the current people in Miami and elsewhere didn't have. As you see above, for example, Miguel Bezos...once he left Cuba for the USA...was immediately and powerfully supported by the ultra-rich Catholic Church, which could assume that the immigrating Cubans were Catholics. But not only that, after leaving Cuba starting in January of 1959 the former Batistiano and Mafiosi money that was  accumulated in Batista's Cuba, along with the firepower behind it, easily and quickly took over Miami politically and economically just the way it had controlled Havana from 1952 till 1959. Thus, Cubans who fled the Revolution starting in 1959 had the unique economic and political support that others in America simply did not have...hey, there is a lot more money in the U. S. than in even Batista's Cuba...Catholic money, Batistiano money, U. S. tax-dollar money, etc. So Hey...if you are a Counter Revolutionary Cuban in the U. S. you need to go to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Stanford...and don't worry about getting in or about the money!!!! In other words, the Bezos nexus about how to become the richest man in the history of the world is...huh...very, very, very interesting!!!!! But, of course, from January of 1959 until October of 2021 Americans are supposed not to comprehend such things because it doesn't compute with the very lucrative narrative that fuels the U.S-Cuban conundrum. And in other words, Americans are not supposed to know about or even Google how in the hell the Cuban Revolution triumphed in January-1959 and how it still exists in October-2021!!!

BUT INTERESTING!!!!

   Huh...interesting...how a Revolution in a little island nation defeated a Powerful dictator who was supported by the most Powerful criminal organization in the world, the Mafia, and by the most Powerful nation in the world, the USA!!! And even more interesting is the fact that the tiny, little Revolution has existed for all the decades since 1959!!! Interesting, to be sure!!!
     And huh...interesting...as well as coincidental that the step-son of a Cuban that fled the Cuban Revolution became the richest man in the world!!!

Biden Continues Trump's Cuban Genocide

 An UNPLEASANT SURPRISE!!!

 As the mainstream U. S. media, unfortunately, has evolved mostly into either fierce left-wing or fierce right-wing propaganda dispensers, there remains few journalists within the bowels of the U. S. democracy with both the integrity and the courage to report fairly regarding Cuban issues. Fortunately, Tracy Wilkinson remains a brilliant mainstream journalist at the left-wing mainstream Los Angeles Times that still has the integrity and courage to report fairly on Cuban issues. Today -- October 18, 2021 -- Tracy Wilkinson penned a fair and unbiased article pertaining to Cuba, which is a rarity in the U. S. in these days.
     Above is the Tracy Wilkinson article today in the Los Angeles Times regarding Cuba. Because it fairly updates the U.S.-Cuban conundrum, it does something that rarely the U. S. media offers, which is a opinion of a Cuban that is not a Counter Revolutionary Cuban from Miami or the U. S. Congress.
      Above is the start of Tracy Wilkinson's article in the Los Angeles Times today -- October 18th-2021. While discussing the drastic fact that the Democrat President Joe Biden has continued the Republican President Donald Trump's genocide on Cuban families on the island, this article, incredibly, has the courage to quote an important, very decent Cuban official about Biden's continuation of Trump's draconian starvation policies against Cuban families on the island to appease the extremist Cuban-Americans who benefit so drastically, politically and economically, from the ageless and lucrative {since 1962) Embargo/Blockade of the Caribbean's largest island nation.
    The highly respected and important Cuban official incredibly permitted to be quoted in the article today is Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, the head of Cuba's embassy in Washington. When the Obama administration tried to normalize relations between the U. S. and Cuba, President Obama thought de Cossio was the perfect Cuban ambassador in Washington and the respected and very decent Jeff DeLaurentis was the perfect American diplomat to head the reopened and fully staffed Embassy in Havana. That decency prevailed until Trump replaced Obama and returned Cuban policy back over to extremist benefactors like Senator Marco Rubio...who quickly sacked the great diplomat DeLaurentis and then gutted both de Cossio and his staff in Washington as well as what had been DeLaurentis's staff in Havana. Of course, a Trump-supporter soon stood outside the Cuban embassy in Washington and fired a blistering series of high-powered rifle shots on and inside the building while de Cossio had to duck for cover on the floor. Also, Trump -- dictated to by the anti-Cuban extremists -- activated Title 3 of Helm-Burton, a section that not even President George W. Bush, who was totally dictated to by Little Havana extremists in Miami, refused to activate because even Bush believed it was TOO GENOCIDAL to be activated!! But of course, neither the U. S. media nor the U. S. citizens were supposed to object about such things as the genocidal Title 3 or the rifle shots that were aimed at a great diplomat, Ambassador Carlos de Cossio. Many rich Cuban-American business owners and executives in Florida greatly admire de Cossio and, during the end of Obama's administration, often invited de Cossio to speak at business meetings in Florida designed to help both Americans and Cubans. But de Cossio, as much or more than anyone, understands the transition from Obama's decency to TRUMP'S genocide against Cuban families on the island. At least the aforementioned article in the Los Angeles Times permitted de Cossio -- in a rarity in the U. S. democracy -- to be quoted on the current primary Cuban-U.S. issue, which is...Biden's presidency displacing Obama's decency toward Cuban families while opting to follow Trump's genocidal approach.

      So the presidential election in 2020 that replaced the Republican Trump with the Democrat Biden was expected to replace much of the Trumpian genocide against Cuban families on the island, but it simply hasn't happened. That fact shows the growing grip that money has on both of the USA's two political parties -- the Republicans and the Democrats. Biden's flagrant departures from President Obama's Cuban sanity and decency  reveals, I believe, as much disaster for the United States as it does for Cuba.
     In 2016 Barack Obama became the first sitting U. S. President "in 88 years" that had both the courage and the decency to fly to Cuba and show decency to the Cuban people on the island. Joe Biden for 8 years was President Obama's Vice President. That's why many people believed that Biden, as President in 2021, would also show some decency to Cuban families on the island, but, while Republican Senator Marco Rubio was Trump's Cuban dictator, it is now apparent that Democrat Senator Bob Menendez is Biden's Cuban dictator.
       And so...in October of 2021 President Biden is making a liar out of President Obama's sacred promise he made to the Cuban people in 2016: "Cuba Does Not Need To Fear A Threat From the United States." Unfortunately for Cuba and for the United States, the twelve words shown above constitute a blatant U. S. lie now...and no one will ever be held responsible for it, of course.
In the 1950's, Batista.
In 2021, Mr. Menendez.

The Vast Anti-Cuba Cottage Industry

 From Miami, Havana, and Worldwide!!

    Since January of 1959 a vicious and well-funded Cottage Industry has existed in Miami and elsewhere designed to sanitize the ousted Mafia-riddled Batista THIEVERY and BRUTALITY in Cuba while also, of course, VILIFYING and EVISERATING everything the Cuban Revolution has done in the past 6+ decades. Such well-heeled and unending propaganda daily filters out to the world via the Internet and by powerful sources such as 14ymedio and Ciber Cuba News, both of which utilize Counter Revolutionary "journalists" headquartered in Havana with enormous clout despite their sheer and extreme anti-Cuban bias, which also paints a totally distorted version of Batista's Cuba that was, in fact, powerfully backed by the Mafia and by the United States. From Havana, Yoani Sanchez obviously has the best financial backing as well as the most political clout in Washington. So Yoani Sanchez's 14ymedio digital newspaper operation and her vast Social Media following best epitomizes the lucrative and vicious anti-Cuban Cottage Industry, even more than entities such as Miami's luscious Radio-TV Marti operation that has been LUSHLY financed by tax-dollars for the past three decades, with no end IN SIGHT!!!
        Today...on Sunday, October 17, 2021...the image posted above is typical of the anti-Cuban propaganda that Yoani Sanchez dispenses from Havana daily via her 14ymedio operation as well as her ubiquitous Social Media accounts. Yoani's photo above flashed around the world today showing a Cuban man's underwear replete with holes and she calls it "the face of the crisis in Cuba" and "there is no one who undresses in Cuba." OF COURSE...even juvenile, mocking, and insanely biased propaganda is effective when it is promoted excessively by ultra-rich and ultra-powerful sources.
      And, for sure, Yoani Sanchez is blessed with a lot of ultra-rich and ultra-powerful supporters in the United States -- including the two Cuban-American U. S. Senators who have dictated first the Trump administration's and now the Biden administration's lucrative but genocidal Cuban politics and policies. In the USA's two-party political system, the Republican Marco Rubio and the Democrat Bob Menendez have had no trouble dictating Cuban policies in the past five years as first presidents Trump and then Biden have expanded the cruel six-decade Embargo into an even crueler Blockade. Of course, Americans are programmed not to believe that...or at least not to DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!! But, for  sure, Yoani Sanchez knowns all about it and also does SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!

Will Cuba Survive COVID & Blockade

 Uh, MAYBE!!!

SUGGESTION:

      If you want to access vicious Cuban propaganda, such as 'learning' that the current 'regime' routinely machine-guns Cubans to keep control of the island, all you have to do any day is go online and access Cuban News on mainstream U. S. sources such as the Miami Herald, Washington Post, New York Times, etc., or visit ubiquitously vicious Counter Revolutionary blogs such as Ciber Cuba News, Radio-TV Marti, Babalu, 14medio, etc., etc., etc. If you frequent or even occasionally visit such sources, you will believe that Revolutionary Cuba will fall within a day or two, or perhaps in the next few hours. But, of course, such propaganda has prevailed since 1959 in the U. S. media and in U.S./Miami-friendly 'media sources' from inside Cuba. On the other hand, if you want actual unbiased Cuban News the best daily source is surely On Cuba News that has excellent and unbiased journalists posted in offices in both Havana and Miami. Thus, On Cuba News reports negative news regarding Cuba as well as positive news, and actually considers the opinions of everyday Cubans on the island, not just the opinions of the most extreme Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Little Havana/Miami, etc. And On Cuba News, in its fair and unbiased news coverage of daily aspects of Cuban life, is easily accessed online in either Spanish or English.
    Thus on Saturday, October 16, 2021, Cubans on the island are not getting routinely machine-gunned on the streets nor are they planning to overthrow their Revolutionary government within the next few days. So, as On Cuba News reports today {above} -- Oct. 16-2021 -- Cubans are pleased that their government can report that COVID-19's surge is sharply trending downward and..."....deaths also fell significantly to 19, the first time they have been in their twenties since the beginning of July."
      Also today -- Oct. 16-2021 -- Cuba can report that "...its borders will reopen on November 1, when travel to and from other Cuban provinces will be restored."
     This photo today -- Oct. 16-2021 -- was posted on social media outlets by two unmasked Cubans who love Havana and oppose any denigration of their government or the island's 13-million citizens.
  On Oct. 16-2021 this photo by Julian Sanabria shows a new trend involving Food Markets opening around the island, encouraged by the government that is promoting private ownership of such markets and farms.
   As it begins to get a handle on the Pandemic and is learning to live with the Trump-Biden Blockade, Cuba is opening its famous beaches to its own people and international tourists. The two photos above were taken at CAYO SANTA MARIA, which TripAdvisor this year lists as the Second Best Beach in the World in 2021. CAYO SANTA MARIA is just southeast of Florida, which doesn't have any beaches nearly listed that high.
And so....
Will the Revolution
Survive 2021???
MAYBE!!!

A Coup In Cuba on November 15-2021??

 THE LATEST TARGET DATE IS FIRMLY SET!!

     Especially for the past two years the pugnacious but vulnerable island nation of Cuba has faced the twin perils of a vicious and genocidal expansion of the ageless U. S. Blockade of the island imposed by both the Trump and Biden administrations in Washington...as well as the COVID-19 PANDEMIC that in recent weeks had devastated the island. And now -- on Friday, October 15, 2021 -- the U. S. media and powerful Counter Revolutionary media on the island such as 14media and Ciber Cuba News are loudly heralding/promoting the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba and listing the imminent date as November 15th-2021. Meanwhile, as shown above, Cuba's renowned Dr. Francisco Duran today -- Oct. 15-2021 -- announced a myriad of COVID-19 statistics that indicate the island's massive vaccination program using its own vaccines are sharply reducing the previously devastating numbers. The Prensa Latina caption above notes that Dr. Duran reports today that the new COVID cases in the past 24 hours total 2138 and the total of COVID deaths are 24 as shown above, and Prensa Latina says those number are "the lowest numbers in the past two months."
        So...it appears that Cuba is getting a handle on the COVID-19 pandemic even at its begins to re-open its borders to tourism. But...what about the target date of November 15-2021 in which determined and apparently well-supported Counter Revolutionary zealots will finally overthrow the current Cuban government? Well...the supposed overthrow is supposedly exactly one month from now, so let's take a peek at it!!!!
    London-based Reuters has an excellent and unbiased news bureau in Havana and that world-class and non-USA news agency included this week the major update on the November 15th-2021 protest-coup that is predicted by some to be able to overthrow the revolutionary Cuban government. And, of course, any organization or leader of any serious movement to try to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba has, since 1959, gotten massive support from Miami and Washington...and this latest serious movement is no exception. Its leader, as Reuters explains above, is Junior Garcia.
       In other words, it appears that Junior Garcia on November 15th-2021 envisions himself as replicating what Fidel Castro accomplished on JANUARY 1ST-1959.
    On January 1st, 1959, Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution accomplished the impossible -- beating the powerful Batista dictatorship that was supported by the Mafia, the most powerful criminal organization in the world, and by the United States, the strongest nation in the world. But in 1952 and 1953 when Fidel Castro began his revolution, he had the overwhelming support of the vast majority of the non-Batistiano Cubans on the entire island. And in October of 2021, although he died in 2016 at age 90, Fidel Castro remains to this day the most important factor in Cuba...and the main reason that the November 15th-2021 resurrection will likely fail, as all other well-backed attempts to overthrow Castro's Cuba have failed repeatedly since JANUARY OF 1959!!!
      The current President of Cuba is Miguel Diaz-Canel, who was born in 1960, the year after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. But Diaz-Canel worships Fidel Castro's legacy and he is a fierce defender of the Revolution. And he also is very popular with a strong majority of everyday Cubans on the island, and that has been so since he was the island's Education Minister. As President, Diaz-Canel continues to converse with Cubans on the streets on a regular basis, and he is skilled at communicating with them via television and radio.
    This image of President Miguel Diaz-Canel shows him on island-wide television today -- October 15th, 2021. He spoke of...the Blockade, the COVID pandemic, mercenaries, etc. Regarding the latter topic, Diaz-Canel referred to the "Upcoming Well-funded protest that is set for November 15th. As was the case back in July, as has been the case so often since January of 1959...the strength of the Cuban Revolution comes from the resolve of the Cuban people. If we are not willing to die to defend the revolution, surely it would not have existed for all these days and decades. As we deal with the Blockade and the Pandemic and with stabilizing our economy, I am not worried about yet another foreign-backed attempt to end our revolution. Yesterday a student at the University of Havana said, 'Mr. President, if we lose on November 15th, we want you know that by nightfall on November 15th our new revolution will have already begun.' Well, I thanked her but I told her that will not be necessary...because of Cubans like her."
      Today -- Friday, October 15, 2021 -- the photo above of Junior Garcia headlined a huge Editorial in the ultra-rich and ultra-powerful Washington Post. The article is entitled: OPINION: CUBA'S PEACEFUL OPPOSITION MOUNTS A COMEBACK." The Washington Post, of course, is owned by Jeff Bezos, the richest person in the history of the entire world. Jeff Bezos's stepfather is Miguel Bezos who was born in Cuba, of course. So, today Jeff Bezos's powerful Washington Post, not surprisingly, was celebrating Junior Garcia's "PEACEFUL" protest in Cuba on November 15th-2021...a "protest" that Jeff Bezos, history's all-time richest person, apparently hopes will finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba.
      History registers the fact that the richly prepared air-land-and-sea BAY OF PIGS military attack that was backed with massive U. S. tax dollars was PREDICTED to easily overthrow Revolutionary Cuba in just a day or two in April of 1961. But in fact it took just three days for Fidel Castro-led rebels to register a smashing defensive victory {above}...with the prime mistake of the CIA and the U. S. politicians regarding the BAY OF PIGS was underestimating the massive support that Fidel Castro had from the majority of the Cubans on the island. In other words, if Counter Revolutionary zealots such as Junior Garcia in Cuba or Jeff Bezos in the U. S. really want to overthrow revolutionary Cuba on November 15th-2021...I assume they might make the same mistake that the extremely rich BAY OF PIGS attackers made in mid-April of 1961.
