NO DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH CUBA, AND NO EMBARGO LIFT

NO DIPLOMATIC REALTIONS WITH CUBA, AND NO EMBARGO LIFT.

By Derby Ulloa

Cuban by birth, and proud, conservative, unhyphenated American citizen by choice.

Dec. 21, 2014

I will speak as an authority, not because I am smarter than you, but because I LIVED THROUGH IT. You did not. To me this is PERSONAL. I would not expect my fellow Americans to take this issue PERSONALLY, but you should. I will explain as I continue.

A fact is that the embargo lift will mainly benefit the Castro communist dictatorship, NOT   the average Cuban.  Castro requires that all capital investments in Cuba should first be turned into Cuban pesos.  He will take his cut off the top and thus increase his personal wealth and that of his cronies for a stronger tyrannical regime.

A fact is that Cuba has been able to trade with every single nation in the world except the US. The Cuban economy has been destroyed not because of the embargo, but because of the Communist form of government.  Those who advocate free trade with Cuba including some Cubans do so because they plan to make money, not because they would like a free Cuba. Others say we will take American products to the Cuban market. I say, “Who is going to buy them?” The Cuban people have no money. However, before Castro Cubans LOVED American products best even when they had a choice of European or Cuban made goods.  This was good for the American worker.

A fact is that the US does not need any more Cuban immigrants or for that matter we do not need any more immigrants from anywhere in the world. There are millions of Americans OUT OF WORK who should come first. The good Cubans are already here. They were my parents and my generation who came from the highly educated, hardworking upper and middle classes. They ASSIMILATED and became an asset to American society and the economy.  The new Cubans that Obama would allow to immigrate here would be less educated people who grew up under Communism and who would become another mass of welfare recipients. We already have millions of native born Americans on permanent welfare. It would be stupid to add to that number.  The only Cubans who deserve to come to America are the political prisoners who are now being tortured (not water boarded) for disagreeing with the Castro dictatorship.

Yes, the Mariel boat lift in 1980 brought thousands of undesirable Cubans to Miami who committed all sorts of crimes against the American public and Cuban Americans as well. These new arrivals ruined the reputation of all law abiding, hardworking Cubans. I apologize for their crimes. But please do not blame the good Cubans. Then President Carter could have sent back all the identified common criminals, but chose not to do so. Also to be blamed are the liberal federal judges who said these Cuban criminals could not be put in jail BECAUSE they had not committed any crimes in the US yet. We had to wait till these Cuban criminals committed a new crime HERE, and then try to catch them. Just like today judges are more concerned with the “rights” of the criminals than the safety of law abiding citizens.

Immigration reform is a big issue. Not all immigrants are good for America. We do not need ANY reforms if we would just ENFORCE current laws. Unlike most Mexicans, Central Americans and even Europeans who have come here for economic reasons, Cubans came here for POLITICAL REASONS. Cubans could not go back to their beloved island if they wanted to. Mexicans are free to go back if they wish to do so. To all immigrants who complain about discrimination I say, “ASSIMILATE, THANK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND SHUT UP.  HERE YOU ARE BETTER OFF THAN IN YOUR NATIVE COUNTRY. AMERICA IS A CHRISTIAN NATION FOUNDED BY WHITE EUROPEANS WHO WROTE OUR CONSTITUTION IN ENGLISH ONLY. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT, GO BACK TO WHEREVER YOU CAME FROM.”

Of course all Cuban exiles have benefited from American citizenship, but they have also greatly contributed to American society. Miami is considered as a cultural, economic and even political capital of Latin America. This came about mostly because of the hard working Cubans, not because of any Yankee retirees who came here for the weather and low taxes. This has been good for Florida. Florida is a great state, and I would not live anywhere else. I also prefer Jacksonville over Miami where I visit as I please.

I love the TEA PARTY and contribute to it with my time and my money. The TEA PARTY movement is the only real opposition to the liberal communist Democrats. The Republican Party establishment is impotent, gutless, stupid and COMPLICIT with the Democrats. I vote Republican only for lack of a better choice. The TEA PARTY born in 2009 has been trying its best to make the American people aware we are headed in the wrong direction with bigger government, higher taxes and more welfare programs (COMMUNISM).  The TEA PARTY is also telling us about the bias in the main stream media. Well, over fifty years ago, long before the TEA PARTY movement, the early Cuban exiles tried to warn us about the threat of Communism and the biased media.  Even a as teenager I could tell the media were being biased and lying about Castro and what was happening in Cuba. You and most Americans could not tell or know the difference because you had not just come from Cuba. I had just come from Cuba and knew the truth. My parents knew Castro was a Communist when he was at the university and years before the revolution. The great majority of members of our Congress was ignorant or simply did not want to acknowledge the obvious. Some just like today were really Communists in disguise. Castro eventually acknowledged he was a Communist and HAD ALWAYS BEEN A COMMUNIST. You, the average American, had no reason to be paying attention. It was not your problem. You had not just had to flee your country leaving everything behind because of a Communist takeover.    The early Cubans told you, and you did not listen.  PLEASE LISTEN TO THE TEA PARTY NOW OR YOU MIGHT BE SORRY IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

I have grown old, now 70 years young, hearing Batista had to go because he was a corrupt dictator, an American puppet. Well, compared to Castro he would be considered an angel. Would you rather have an American puppet or a Russian Communist puppet? Now please I will compare Batista to Obama. Batista (B) was a crook, but Obama (O) is a much bigger crook, Solyndra , etc., etc., etc. B. liked the US, O. hates the US. B. was Catholic. O. is an anti-Christian Moslem. B. was a military man. O. hates the military. B. presided over a booming economy. In the 50’s the Cuban peso was at a par with the dollar. O. our dollars buy less every year. B. imported mostly American goods. O. imports mostly Communist Chinese goods. This did not start with Obama. B. no racial or religious discrimination. Everybody was just a Cuban. O. hates Whites and Christians, but loves Blacks and Moslems. B. was a capitalist. O. believes more government is the answer, (a Communist). B. always voted with the US at the United Nations. O. disparages and tries to hurt the US every time he gets a chance. B. highly educated upper and middle classes. O. a less educated average American who knows little about its own history and Christian heritage. O. is also a blatant liar, nobody can deny this.  I could go on forever. My point is: if Batista had to go because he was bad for Cuba, Obama should be impeached and has to go because he is really destroying the USA. Unfortunately, most Americans are AFRAID to criticize him because he is a mulatto and they might offend the African-American population.

And finally, the issue of China trade: If the US does not trade with Cuba because it is a tyrannical Communist dictatorship, then we should also stop trade with China. The balance of trade is obviously in China’s favor many times over. China is also a ruthless Communist dictatorship, the enemy of freedom, religion and democracy. China has become a great economic, political and military power only because our own leaders encouraged our manufacturing base to move abroad mainly to China. Communism is our enemy. China is a Communist nation. We are helping China to become stronger every year as we become weaker. HELPING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY IS THE SIMPLE DEFINITON FOR TREASON.  Many say we cannot ignore over one billion people. They believe in “FREE TRADE”. To them I say free trade is with free nations, not with Communist nations that use semi slave labor in their factories. I would not mind trading with the enemy, BUT ONLY IF IT IS TO OUR MUCH GREATER BENEFIT, NOT THEIRS. THIS IS REALLY STUPID.  I would like to see a GLOBALIST try to explain to an American worker who lost his job because his factory was moved to China that we are better off because we can buy CHEAP AND OFTEN UNSAFE CHINESE GOODS. Not all Americans can be computer programmers or financial planners. We also need mechanics and factory workers.  I say, “Shame on all the globalists”. Unfortunately this started long before Obama and the Communists took control of Washington.

Fellow Americans, wake up and acknowledge that Communists, radical Moslems, Atheists, Globalists and the lying main stream media crooks have taken over our government. All Democrats, most Republicans and the main stream media are COMPLICIT in destroying our BORDERS, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE. Please listen to the TEA PARTY movement and act accordingly or you and your children will be sorry for it because it will be too late and you will have lost your country. TAKE THIS PERSONALLY as I have or you will regret it sooner than you think.

God Bless America, but remember GOD helps only those who help themselves. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a better New Year.

Mr. Ulloa,

You know that Common Core education makes up the history it wants to teach rather than history as it actually happened.

Comment by Derby Ulloa on January 15, 2015 at 7:08pm

I will not waste any more time trying to argue with brain washed individuals who think they know it all, but are really very ignorant. What happened in Cuba is happening here right not, and you are to naïve to see it. Good-bye.

Batista is an angel compared to no one, nor is Castro.

Batista was not pro-American, he was pro-Batista. Need proof? We did not allow him entry after he was ousted in a coup. The same way he came into power, a coup. He murdered dissadents, he supported near slave like conditions outside Havana and criminal syndicate in Havana. The Castro's just more of the same, totalitarian kleptocracy. Like Putin, like Batista, like a hundred others. And we have embassies in all those countries.

You left Cuba when, 1960? '61? If your family was connected to Batista or the colonialistas then it was probably wise for you to leave and not stay and fight for your freedom. Your families wealth probably served a good reason to get out.

But as you state, you are old and stuck in your beliefs, no need to change.

It is a shame that our President disregards the lives of our Cuban patriots that were executed just because they dissented, or the lives of the political prisoners that died in jail by bayonets during torture or by denial of medicines; or the lives of the men, women and children that died in the sea trying to leave the tyranical regime to reach our coast; or the lives of the men, women and children that died by drowning or were eaten by sharks when Castro ordered their small vessels rammed by tugboats so that they could not flee Cuba.  It is a shame that our President will help a Communist regime survive in order to continue their subjugation of their people.  It is a shame that anyone in Congress would even think of lifting the embargo.  What about all the properties that Castro took from Cubans and Americans, will they be returned to their legal owners? Not according to Castro's daughter, a member of the parliament. What about the lives of our Cuban patriots that fought for the freedom of our fatherland.  Should we throw all that just because Obama wants to favor a Communist tyrant and dictators that have been in power for over 50 years?  My dear Amanda, you did not live in Cuba I did!  You are just listening to other misguided people. When Castro took over Cubans lost their freedom and their livelihood.

Amanda Choate,

I never said Batista was without fault, but YES, compared to Castro he was an ANGEL. Cubans did not flee the island by the hundreds of thousands during Batista, but over one million have fled under Castro.   Also compared to Obama he would be a better USA President than Obama is now. Batista was not a Communist or a Moslem and he was pro-American. Obama is the exact opposite. My view of pre-Castro Cuba is not romantic as you say, but REALISTIC and WELL INFORMED. I wonder if you ever lived in Cuba during Batista or under Castro. WELL, I DID. Judging by your picture you are too young to answer YES.  I have also lived in the US longer than you have been alive.  It seems you have been brain washed by the liberal media, liberal and ignorant politicians,  and your liberal college professors who even today talk about Che Guevara and Mandela as heroes and who were too ignorant or afraid to point that Obama was a Communist BEFORE  the election of 2008.

Yes, I know the Fanjul brothers have benefited from their political connections, but that pales in comparison to the military contractors under Bush and now the Health Care website under Obama just to site one of many instances. Unfortunately most politicians will come out a lot richer when they leave office, ex. Reed, Pelosi, McConnell, Boehner, Clintons, etc., etc. There is plenty of corruption in the US right now no different from Cuba over 55 years ago. You imply that every world leader who is not as pure as the Pope should be removed, but do not mind it if the new ruler is anti-American and a lot worse than the one before. If you are so concerned about no free press and no elections in foreign countries, you can start with Saudi Arabia or China. They are more repressive than Batista ever was plus they are a much greater threat to America than Batista and Castro put together.  Just because we trade with them does not create more freedom for the average citizen in those countries. Just like Obama you would like to see trade with Cuba BEFORE any freedoms are given to the Cuban people. How about free elections or the release of political prisoners? Only a fool will believe that will ever happen.

And you are wrong to say the average working Cuban did not benefit from US relations. In the 50’s Cuba had a higher standard of living than many countries in Europe and one of the highest in Latin America. You would not know because you were not there. I WAS. I base my views on firsthand knowledge—not secondhand like yours.

Your romantic view of Cuba pre-Castro is stupifying. Batista took control of the government by military coup three months before an election in which he was running third. His government was repressive, no free press, no elections, and the murder of an estimated 20,000 dissidents. When he first left the island in the forties he emptied the coffers and did so again in 1959. He was a,ruthless brutal dictator who protected the rich who looked the other way when faced with plight of their fellow countrymen.
And Cuban sugar interests in the US have been some of the biggest welfare recipients in our nation's hostory, see the Fanjul brothers.
Homestly, the US has not been a good neighbor to the average working Cuban, ever.
It is time for a different approach, after over fifty years I think it is safe to say this isn't working.

I see another obama tactic to re-distribute wealth.   U.S. companies using profits gained in America and putting it in the Cuban economy instead of back in America.

Any plans to oppose or protest this action?

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
