News Analysis: One Person may Positively Influence Another by Contact, Cooperation, and Coordination which will lead to Mutual Confidence. Shunning the other Person leads to Mistrust and Suspicion that makes for a “No-Gain Game” for both Parties.
It is in America’s Interest to forget the Hostile Rhetoric spouted by people who were mere Uninformed Young Children when the “U.S. Mobster’s Lackey” Fulgencio Batista was being ‘Set-up’ to make Cuba a Fiefdom of the U.S. President’s Father (USPF). Cuban Army Sergeant Batista led a Coup and ousted General Gerardo Machado. Many think that Batista’s selfishness ruined any thoughts of benefitting the Cuban People. “Greed Is Good” apparently was his Mantra, many people say.
The President of the United States Father knew of the Mineral Wealth of Cuban (particularly Hydrocarbons) and wanted them for himself. Since he already was rich from “Running Illegal Whiskey” into America and Canada, he had well-established connections with Organized Crime (OC) . As ‘OC’ built Casinos in Havana, Fulgencio Batista allegedly received Millions of Dollars which were sent to both Spain and Switzerland (being illicit funds).
Through his contacts with ‘OC’ the ‘USPF’ explained his desire which he wanted fulfilled i.e. a “Cuban Fiefdom”. ‘OC’ was allegedly planning on using Cuba as an Entrepot of their Narcotics (Heroin) which would later be shipped into the America through neighboring Florida.
It was rumored that in 1958 some of Batista’s Soldiers learned of the ‘USPF’/’OC’/Batista Cabal and were quite angry with then 57 Year Old Batista’s betrayal and rebelled against him. Also discovered was the FACT that Greek Shipowners who ‘USPF’ knew, were asked about Harbor Specifications in Cuba and Ship Requirements for hauling Crude Oil to the U.S. East Coast Ports. Some people think the Castro Brothers may have been made aware of these discussions with the Greeks. Greeks were engaged in quite extensive shipping to and from Cuba at the time.
In 1959 the Fidel and Raul Castro Coup against the previous Coup maker Batista, overturned the ‘OC’ and ‘USPF’ with their schemes to make all Cubans their lackeys.
The fact the in America both ‘OC’ and ‘USPF’ ‘owned’ much of the News Media made it very easy to make their Fiefdom Scheme become the “Fiefdom Scheme of the Castro Brothers”; Great American Mass Marketing was at work then! An ill-informed Public ‘Acting like Sheep’ took the “bait.” The rest is History.
Today, the Good Senator, a Five Year Old Child (in 1959), should understand that the Greed of a Small Group of American Criminals along with their “Whiskey-Smuggling” Buddy caused much of Cuba’s dilemma in the 1950’s. One may ask: “How many Cubans who left their Country to come to America KNEW ANYTHING about the REAL Fulgencio Batista? How many of these Emigrants had benefited PERSONALLY from him before they left? Which of these people were actually aware of Cuba’s Future had the Gangsters and the U.S. President’s Father succeeded with their “Evil” Plan? Which of them would be exempt from the Mobsters merely stealing their businesses and property from them? At best, if they complained they would hear “Lo Siento Mucho”.
It is essential that the Rapprochement between America and Cuba flourish so that the Cuban People can finally enjoy lives as do other Citizens of the World. The “Economic Blockade” of Cuba in an Anachronism that America should cease and again let America be the Beacon of Capitalism and Freedom it once was.
As more countries engage Cuba commercially, the Trade Embargo does not benefit America; nor Americans in any manner.
America’s President should Lead; Not Follow (the Historical Unknowing with their rhetoric).
Reality.
