Cuba Embargo Miami Interference

In 1989, the Soviet Union and its eastern bloc fell apart, literally overnight. The impact in Cuba was immediate and dramatic. Within six months, Cuba lost more than 70% of its international trade. Over the next five years, the island’s economy shrank by half. (In comparison, at the height of the Great Depression from 1929 to 1933, the US economy shrank by 30%.) The “special period in times of peace” took a toll across the island. Food and fuel shortages, electrical blackouts, lack of medicines – every aspect of Cuban life was affected.

Miami Interference

Allied with Miami’s Cuban-American mafia and its proliferating NGGOs (non-governmental ‘governmental’ organizations), social media is playing a new role largely unknown in the early 1990s. One particularly public group stands out. Cuba Decide (spelled the same in English and Spanish) is front and center. Their easily recognizable blue and white graphics were present at several demonstrations across the island on July 11. MORE

The Right-Wing Cuban Diaspora in Miami

The fury over French director Olivier Assayas’s new film “Wasp Network,” inspired by the real story of a Cuban spy ring operating in the U.S. in the 1990s.
---
 The feature film has reignited ideological passions across the Florida Straits. The vociferous right-wing Cuban diaspora in Miami has led a petition drive #RemoveWaspNetwork (18,000 signatures as of July 2) for Netflix to take down the film. HERE

Florida GOP David Rivera Most Anti-Communist

He knows, like the best of charlatans who use pain and loss for political gain, how to play the game of conning Cuban and Venezuelan exiles.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most anti-Communist of them all?
Why Cuban American Republican David Rivera!

But campaign shenanigans are child’s play compared to the role Rivera is now playing — caught in bed with the enemy for cash, a $50 million consulting contract with a subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company to clean up its tattered image in the United States. HERE

The MCM Attacking Venezuela

Legislation is being introduced in Congress that calls for regime change in Venezuela. The main instigators of this legislation are the political representatives of the right-wing Cuban-exile clique (MCM) in Florida, especially Marco Rubio, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Ileana Ros Lehtenin, all Florida Republicans. They are joined by Florida Dems Bill Nelson and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. here

MCM Get Their Wish

The Florida GOP lawmakers had been pressing Trump for months to unwind former President Barack Obama’s policies.

STOP THE WAR ON THE CUBAN PEOPLE!

Fidel Castro's Nephew Mario Diaz-Balart

On President Obama's decision to end the "wet-foot, dry foot" policy.
-----------
"If I see a picture on Friday of President Obama massaging Raul Castro's feet, really, with fuzzy little gloves, massaging his feet, that wouldn't surprise me, because this president has no limit when it comes to bowing down, appeasing and giving concessions to Castro or to other enemies of the United States." 
Mario Diaz-Balart
----------
If he truly is an American now as he says he is he would want Cuban migrants to be treated in a manner consistent with how the US treats others.

The MCM React To Fidel Castro's Death

"History will not absolve Fidel Castro; it will remember him as an evil, murderous dictator who inflicted misery and suffering on his own people." Marco Rubio

"The message is now very clear to those who think they will continue to misrule Cuba through oppression and fear. Enough is enough. The Cuban people have been shortchanged for too long to continue down this reviled path."  Ileana Ros-Lehtinen

"The dictator has the blood of innocents on his hands, and his dictatorship is guilty of torture, murder and numerous other atrocities." 
Mario Diaz-Balart

"Fidel Castro’s death ends his personal tyranny of the Cuban people."
 Debbie Wasserman Schultz

 "After decades of oppression." 
Rick Scott

"Cuban dictator Fidel Castro terrorized the people of Cuba for decades with religious and political persecution, oppression of free speech and free press, and disrespect for basic human rights."  Carlos Curbelo

Bob (El Alcalde) Buckhorn Of The MCM

Bob Buckhorn’s recent trip to China invoked charges of hypocrisy from critics, who compared his very different public stance when it comes to doing business with Cuba. here
----------
As a member of The Miami Cuban Mafia, El Alcalde as he is called by the family doing business with Cuba is unacceptable.
