★ Cuba – The “International Mob” Never Forgets About Possible Assets It Wants, So Others In A Government Do Its Bidding

News Analysis: Havana has recently been subjugated to additional attempts to destabilize the government; this by its Hip-Hop youth. Cuba- the “International Mob” never forgets about possible assets it wants, so others in a Government do its bidding. For the young of Cuba, an amateurish set of plots had germinated from their northern neighbor (a mere ninety miles away).

Since Sergeant Fulgencio Batista y Zaldivar was ousted, for being a mere “Mob Stooge”, Organized Crime “OC” has been ‘on a terror’ against the evicting Castro Brothers.

Rather than declaring that “OC” wants Cuba for its location for its nefarious activities, and its estimated petroleum deposits, the neighbor to the North, stated it was fighting “Ungodly Communism” (an easier ‘Sell’ to a naïve public). Currently, this same 1950s-1960s Mantra is being used today.

As the majority of countries in the United Nations have voted to end the “Embargo Against Cuba”, political minions of “OC” in Cuba’s northerly neighbor, have pursued this action as zealots.

International Businessmen have the experience to see through the various charades and obvious holograms manufactured by Intelligence Agencies of other Nations. The same group responsible for the continued attempt to get Cuba’s Assets for ‘free’ are allegedly progressing well in Western Europe.

The Western Europe scenario is of a much greater magnitude because the potential “Freebie” this Entity wants to deliver to “OC’ and its Associates in nothing less than Siberia [with its vast natural resources]. Perhaps, like the former Havana of Sergeant Fulgencio Batista y Zaldivar, ‘OC” would establish casinos throughout the “Russian Far East” (RFE)? They could even offer better odds in their casinos since, under this scenario, they would have attained the property for ‘free’; thus having lower Non-Recurring Costs that would have ‘bitten into their profits’ (if they had purchased)?

Fortunately, International Businessmen realize that the aforementioned “OC” ‘RFE’ Fantasy has been, is, and should be, thwarted by Russia’s two Steadfast Leaders. Both of these Gentlemen evidence great skill in playing Chess with avaricious adversaries; the Castro Brothers have also done well.

When the music is being played, are “OCs” owned-politicians singing, or merely lip-syncing?

If one listens acutely, he or she may be able to discern the “Shuck and Jive”.

Reality.

★ Cuba: International Commerce Cannot Flow Freely When Doors Are Locked Shut By Vested-Interest Politicians

News Analysis: The “Ancient” continuing Cuban Embargo by the United States, reveals more about Washington, D.C. Politicians and their ‘Handlers’ than it does about protecting America from ‘Foreign Aggressors Ninety Miles Off Its Coast’. Since International Commerce cannot flow freely when doors are locked shut by Vested-Interest Politicians, it hurts the entire world (which is presently in an economic slump).

The current 188 Nation Vote for eliminating this Anachronism to “Capitalism” (of which the Washington, D.C. Politicians love to extol) says: ‘It is Time to Change’. Closed doors benefit ONLY those with ulterior motives.

The loss of Cuba by President Kennedy’s father, Joseph, who wanted to create a fiefdom on the island, was thwarted by the Cuban Castro Brothers and their friends. It ruined those ambitions for both he as well as for American and foreign Organized Crime Interests. The island would have provided:  Anticipated abundant Petroleum Reserves; Expanded Casino Gaming; a Tax Haven for Joseph Kennedy’s friends, Geographic Immunity from Prosecution for International Nefarious Individuals, a growing area for illicit high-profit crops, and an entrepot for ‘illegal’ goods.

One should ask if America’s Current Politicians are not still being influenced by those who were ousted (or their successors) to continue a negative drag on the World’s Economy. While they continue their diatribe of the “Threat to America” by Cuba, International Businessmen will see that these “‘Patriotic’ Politicians are really lackeys for the Mob”; nothing more. 

Perhaps, the next couple of elections in America, will bring in some ‘less contaminated’ persons who will thwart the seeking of hegemony on other nations and instead, seek free and open markets so the World Economy can improve.

Reality.

Bicycle Thievery In Austria Abounds

News Analysis: Bicycle Thievery In Austria Abounds with over 26,000+ Stolen last year. The 8.2 Million Austrians, who ride bicycles, apparently do not pay much attention to the particulars of their ‘mounts’ beyond the color, Police Officials state. In fact only 30% of those who had their bicycles stolen knew the Serial Number of their transportation. 21% of owner do NOT lock their Bicycles.

World-Wide, Organized Crime and/or mere Opportunistic Crooks will steal ANYTHING that is not sufficiently locked. International Bike Theft Rings do exist.

As the adage goes for Bicycles: “If They are Not Locked, their Owners will Walk”.

Reality.

★ Fidel Castro Took Over Cuba When A Good U.S. Senator Was A Mere Child Of Five

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.

Indian Government Becomes More Taxing To Gold Smugglers

News Analysis: India, is taxing Gold Smugglers more. The tax, just introduced, of $407.00 per ten grams of gold, brought into India is hoped to discourage smugglers.

830 tons of Gold was imported into the country from 2012 -2013. India is allegedly the World’s Largest Gold Market For Citizens.

Organized Crime (OC) will presumably be following the effects of this Indian Government Tax move very closely.  Counter-moves by ‘OC’ will occur due to “Profitability Through Latent Demand Fulfillment Through Surreptitious Methodologies” as it might be technically categorized by some Criminologists.

Throughout the World, where a Product or Service ‘Demand’ exists, if unfulfilled by Governments or Legitimate Private Parties, ‘OC’ will deliver the ‘Supply” to Purchasers. Profitability in doing so is great. If the subject of the ‘Demand’ is Illicit, the Profitability will be Greater. The Risk is low; typically, only ‘Mules’ get caught.

All of the “Legitimate” Associates of ‘OC’: ‘Crooked’ –  Accountants, Attorneys, Bankers, Businessmen, Law Enforcement, and Politicians are too vast in number. High hopes will NEVER  Totally Eliminate this Historical Process of Demand (‘Good’ For Them Or Not) by Humanity.

Reality.

The Seeds of Failure are Hidden by the Dirt Covering Them

The recent failing in Brazil of a major corporation, in which Bankruptcy Protection has been requested, is an ever-present reminder of the Foibles of Man.

Seed

It seems that those who rise to the top of business hierarchies in many countries are gifted with huge egos. Properly balanced, this my be good. All too often though the reverse is true: They believe their own publicity. If they are surrounded, as they usually are, by Sycophants, they will be in deep trouble. The advisors who they entrust, learn quickly to tell them what the Nabobs want to hear [rather than what they should hear]. In listening to them, years of effort and monies, are wasted when the corporation fails.

One hearing about these “Masters of the Universe” [MUs], before their failings become public knowledge, seldom critically examines the gestation of the founding business. They keep ABSOLUTELY SECRET their founding financial sources.

Seed

A corporation is founded upon an initial idea and then is morphed into a business model.  All too often it seems the ‘Founder[s]’ of the corporation did not ab ibnitio create the idea. Instead, they quietly ‘borrowed’ the mental construction from another party. Since they were developing the idea into a business model, absolute secrecy from the actual creator is maintained vigorously. Or, through dissimulation, they let the other party in on the idea’s evolution [but represent it as having been their same idea long ago]. Lawsuits by claimants against “Founders” can ruin the business.

Seed

A misrepresentation game often played by MUs is to misrepresent the source[s] of initial funding ‘seed money’. Currently in the Information Technology [IT] Arena, one can readily infer that many “Start Up Companies” have been secretly funded by intelligence agencies or other governmental bodies. If the founder’s IT Capital requirements are too large, who better go to than “Big Brother”. “He” has the capital and will keep the secrecy of the funding since it is in his espionage interest. If information about this is released to the public, decline or failure in business is probable.

Seed

Due to the expansive reach of Organized Crime [OC], the need to “Launder” their money is an on-going problem of gigantic proportions. More established  Criminal Cartels have a plethora of Attorneys, Accountants, Economists, and others to advise them on where to invest their ill-gotten gains. Often, an area such as “Silicon Valley” in California is  ripe for exploitation by OC interests. A naïve creator of ‘Software’ or even ‘Hardware’ used in IT can be mesmerized by the quick offer of  Capital for his invention. Since he or she is not appraised of the true source of the funds [and never asks] an investment occurs by OC in the venture. As a Cancer works inside a body, the business gets “milked” of its subsequent assets [from follow-on investors], and fails.

Seed

If one looks at the ownership interest by the Founder in any public corporation and sees that it has been diluted from “100% Ownership” to a mere pittance of that amount, then caution is advised. The founder may have taken the early road to riches and quickly sold off his or her ownership to others. Perhaps the influence of “ECC 10:19” overwhelmed his judgement. In any event, he can be easily ousted by the other shareholders. His early contributions are of no concern to those who want his corporation for themselves. This is a world-wide occurrence one can read about in the financial pages.

The Bottom-Line of this brief discussion about “Seeds Sown”  is : “Trust, But Verify”.
