Cuban Crisis

More than meets the eye.

This is a much bigger story than people realize:

Everyone is missing what is really happening.

“CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Havana, Cuba, on Thursday for a rare meeting with senior Cuban officials, an agency official told CBS News, using the visit to deliver a message that the U.S. was prepared to expand economic and security engagement with Cuba if Havana “makes fundamental changes.”

“Ratcliffe met with Raúl Rodriguez Castro — the grandson of former Cuban President Raúl Castro.”

Raul Castro is KEY.

“Multiple U.S. officials later confirmed to CBS News Thursday that the U.S. is taking steps to indict the 94-year-old Raúl Castro in connection with Cuba’s deadly 1996 shootdown of planes operated by humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue. Raúl Castro is the brother of Fidel Castro.”

Do you think this is just about Raul Castro’s possible connections to a downed plane back in 1996?

Raul Castro has a much bigger “connection” and nobody is talking about it.

Anybody remember what was happening back in 2014?

“When it comes to normalizing relations with Cuba, it’s incredible that we’re even talking about it at all. This very day, just 54 years ago, marked the beginning of perhaps the most dangerous moment in human history.”

“For 13 terrifying days, humanity teetered on the brink of nuclear war. McGeorge Bundy, my predecessor as National Security Advisor, called the prospect “reciprocal mortal peril.” Fortunately, cooler heads and vigorous diplomacy averted the immediate crisis.”

“Recognizing this reality, President Obama came into office determined to re-examine our Cuba policy. To begin, we relaxed restrictions on remittances and allowed Cuban Americans to travel home to visit their families. We stepped up dialogues with the Cuban-American community. Eventually, we reached out — cautiously and deliberately — to the Cuban government. It took months of closely-held negotiations, facilitated by the Vatican and by Canada.”

Anybody remember that big story?

Do you want to know why Trump immediately reversed Obama’s Cuban policies, when he became president?

Don’t miss that very last part.

Obama was having months of “closely-held” negotiations, that were “facilitated” through the Vatican and Canada.

Do you really think the timing of Obama rushing to meet with Carney in Canada, as Trump is negotiating with Cuba, was just a coincidence?

Panic in DC.

The “real” Raul Castro connection that Trump is interested in, is with Obama, not terrorism.

What am I talking about?

“But, on December 17, 2014, half a century after that white-knuckled nuclear standoff, President Obama and President Castro announced that the United States and Cuba would begin normalizing relations. It was quite a way to go into the December holidays. And it will be, I think, one of the enduring achievements of the Obama administration.”

That “enduring achievement” sure didn’t last long.

But what is Obama panicked about and why was Ratcliffe really in Cuba visiting with top officials and the head of the Cuban Intelligence?

He was there to gather evidence.

Evidence of what?

“In addition to President Obama’s meetings with President Castro, we also met with entrepreneurs and civil society activists. And we capped it off watching the Tampa Bay Rays play an exhibition game against the Cuban national team.”

Don’t miss that important data point.

Obama and Raul Castro were meeting with “civil society activists.”

NGO’s.

There’s a reason why Trump is cutting money to NGO’s.

There was still an “embargo” against Cuba by Congress.

Guess what Obama directed.

“Today, the Departments of Treasury and Commerce are also announcing further regulatory changes. Among these changes, we’re expanding the grants that can be made to foundations to help Cuba develop.”

Grants > theft of taxpayers money.

How much money flowed right back into Obama’s overseas bank accounts?

Through the Vatican?

I bet it’s a lot.
