George W. Bush is a world leader ... and this is how he leads. Slap! Slap! Slap!

VHeadline.com commentarist Arthur Shaw writes: In 2002, the US-puppet president of Mexico ... His Excellency Vicente Fox ... suddenly kicked Fidel Castro out of Mexico just before US dictator George W. Bush Bush spoke at an international meeting in Monterrey, attended by 50 heads of state.

This incident seems to be the germ for Bush that has grown into a sporadic ... perhaps chronic ... USA malignancy.

In 2005, Bush refused to issue visas ... until the very last minute ... for Hugo Chavez and his delegation to enter the USA to attend a world summit at the United Nations. Then the US dictator refused to allow Chavez' medical and security teams to accompany the Venezuelan President during his stay in New York City ... the two teams were confined to the Venezuelan airplane at the Kennedy Airport.

In 2005, Carl Gershman, the money-laundering and political-corrupting boss of the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED), kicked US-Venezuelan attorney Eva Golinger off of a program which he and she were invited to address at a meeting in Stockholm Sweden.
Bush kicked the world champion Cuban baseball team out of the March 2006 World Baseball Classic ... but he relented after Cuba announced it would donate the prize money to Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans if the Cuban team one.

If the US team wins, the US scum can keep the money for themselves.

Bush refused, in 2004 and 2005, to issue visas to Cuban jazz greats, among others, to enter the USA to pick up their coveted Grammy awards.

Now this.

A 16-member Cuban delegation consisting chiefly of executives in the Cuban energy industry reserved accommodations for three days at the Maria Isabel Sheraton Hotel in Mexico City.

The Cubans paid in advance and the US-owned hotel jubilantly took their money, about US$5,000. The Cuban executives were at the hotel to talk about future trade prospects with their US counterparts, which included executives from such giant US companies as Exxon Mobile, Caterpillar, the Valero Energy Corporation and others. The two groups of business people wanted to explore the possibilities for increased trade between the Cuba and US after the USA drops its laws that forbid "free trade."

Except for food and medicine, trade between the US and Cuba is now illegal under US law, but US law does not prohibit "talk" between Cubans and US citizens about trade.

As the two groups of executives are talking, the management of the Maria Isabel Sheraton Hotel, on Friday February 3, descended without warning on the Cubans and ordered them to "Get out!"

The Cubans, stunned by this sudden neurotic outburst from the US lackeys, ask "What's going on?"

The hotel management replied: "We're throwing all of you Cubans out and keeping all of your money."

"Why? What for?" the Cubans naturally want to know.

"We don't trade with enemies and we don't want your business. Plus, we're not going to let you stand or sit in our lobby. And you can't use our restrooms. You can't eat or drink anything in this hotel."

According to the slick-talking US Embassy spokeswoman Judith Bryan in Mexico City, treating a Cuban like a human being now violates US law, specifically a law called the Helms-Burton Act, if the "offense" ... that is, the treatment ... occurs in Mexico.

This Helms-Burton Act, 22 USC 6021 (named in part after the US racist degenerate Jesse Helms) is one of the most detested pieces of legislation on earth. This Act tries to oppress US citizens and US entities, foreign citizens and entities, and foreign governments which have any relations with Cuba. The Act is infamous for its Section 6082 which says that anybody who deals in any way with property nationalized by the Cuban government is liable to any US citizen who claims to own the property. It is understood that US citizens claim all property in Cuba. So, any dealing with Cuba makes a person liable to US liars who claims ownership of the nationalized property

But infamous Section 6082 doesn't appear to be the basis of the February 3 action against the Cubans at Maria Isabel Sheraton Hotel in Mexico City.
George W. Bush, the so-called US "president," who has stolen two presidential elections, seems to rely on either Section 6032 or 6033 of the Act as the basis of his February 3 outrage in Mexico City.

Section 6032 says the US president should "encourage foreign countries to restrict trade and credit relations with Cuba" and if these foreign countries refuse or ignore his "encouragement," then the president should impose sanctions on them.

Bush no doubt believes that a Cuban sleeping in a room or standing in the lobby or using the restroom or eating breakfast in an US-owned hotel in Mexico City is a "trade and credit relations." Accordingly, Mexico had to submit to the will of Mr. Bush ... otherwise, Bush would have imposed sanctions on submissive Mexico.

Sections 6033 says "no loan, credit or other financing" may be extended by any US national to any person for the purpose of financing transactions involving any Cuban nationalized property the claim to which is owned by a US citizen. Renting a hotel room, serving breakfast, letting Cubans stand or sit in the lobby, or use the restroom perhaps falls under "other financing" extended by the US-owned Maria Isabel Sheraton Hotel. It's somewhat unclear how a Cuban standing or sitting in a hotel lobby involves any property that Cuba nationalized.

Patently, throwing the 16 Cubans out the US-owned hotel in Mexico City has nothing to do with the Helms-Burton Act. The Act is pretext for the disruption of the talks between the Cuban and US energy executives. And throwing the Cubans out of the hotel is a continuation of a pattern of despicable US conduct under Bush that goes back to the 2002 incident in Monterrey.

In any case, Mexico has laws that ban discrimination based on national origin in the denial of public accommodations and other laws that apply to this case. Under the Vicente Fox, however, Mexico only respects the rule of law if it is US law that rules in Mexico.

Let's list the possible or, perhaps, the most plausible explanations for this pattern of queer US behavior between 2002 and 2006. Either a USA desire for

(1) cutting of trade relations with Cuba or Venezuela, or

(2) discouraging communications between US nationals and those of Cuba and Venezuela, or

(3) humiliating the Cubans and Venezuelans, or

(4) enforcing US law explains why Bush is making such a fool out of himself.
It's not (1) cutting off trade relations because trade relations had nothing to do Chavez' address at the UN ... or with Golinger's talk in Sweden ... or with the Cuban baseball team ... or with Cuban jazz musicians. What's more, cutting off trade is the last thing Bush wants to happen with Venezuela.

So, that leaves discouraging communications, humiliating the Cubans and Venezuelans, and (4) enforcing US law.

It's not (4), enforcing law, because law doesn't prohibit Gershman and Golinger (both US nationals) from speaking on the same program nor does US law require the twisting of the arm of the prissy Mexican president into expelling Castro from a Monterray meeting to which Castro had been invited by the Mexican government. Indeed, Bush broke international law to which the US is a party as a UN member when Bush fooled around with the visas and restricted most of the Venezuelan delegation to the airport during Chavez's visit to the UN summit.

So, that leaves (2) discouraging communications and (3) humiliating the Latin Americans.

Both of these possibilities or plausibilities appear to be present in all six instances that we have listed.

So, the unspeakable Bush regime doesn't want ordinary US citizens to talk to or listen to Venezuelans and Cubans who have not betrayed their countries.

And this dictatorial regime in Washington D.C. maliciously enjoys the humiliation of the Venezuelans and Cubans or it wants to rattle them into doing or saying something rash. If it's the latter, then the US imperialists have prepared some kind of provocation for the Cubans or Venezuelans or both by which the imperialists hope to elicit a response from the Cubans or Venezuelans that will serve as a pretext for a major aggression. God's sake (if not his, then for Muhammad's, Moses', and Jesus' sake) let's hope it's the former.

Well, so much for the motive behind the arrogance of this repugnant and undemocratic regime in Washington, expressed in the six above-listed instances.

But let's return to our six incidents themselves. They contain, I firmly believe, the key to the mystery of the questioned US conduct.

Two cannibals eating a clown, one ask the other "Does this taste funny to you?"

Pardon me, but don't all six incidents smack of a setup to you?

Isn't there something funny about this tight series of coincidences?
I'm not suggesting ... please don't misunderstand me ... that the organizers of the event in Sweden, at the UN, in Monterrry (including Vicente Fox), in Mexico City, the US baseball authorities, or the fine folks who award Grammies are involved in any way in these imperialist machinations against Cuba and Venezuela.

(Oh no! I would be more paranoid that the clown, mentioned above, if I thought that.)

These good people were just used or, more correctly, strong-armed by the GOPs.

Yes, indeed, these six incidents ... it seems to me ... smack of a setup, but chiefly against whom?

Impulsively, we will say "Why the Cubans and the Venezuelans ... of course."

But do you really think that the US imperialists would pass up splendid opportunities to slap in the face the US people, UN membership, 50 heads of state, US energy executives, the Mexicans, US baseball officials, and, above all, the Swedes?

Mr. Bush is a world leader and this is how he leads. Slap! Slap! Slap!

I'll guess one-third of the US people, and much of the so-called "civilized" world are nothing but behind kissers of Mr. Bush.

I guess Brian you know what I'm already trying to get at. President Bush is the leader of the cartels. That's why it is OK that I have to live with death treaths all the time because of my location, in the US-Mexican Border, and i simply know too much. Yes Bush allows the drug cartels to operate and like the venezuelan president compared Fox to Bush's puppy. Any wonder Bush already decided to empose amnesty to illegals !!! A lot of money involved and Dictator Bush simply doesn't give a damn.. He is set for life and all his buddies too... thats why they make mockery of mexican military incursions and the devasting silent invasion.. Bush is the modern Joseph Stalin in every meaning of the word.. Jorge Bush is a truly evil man.. What else do you expect from a cocaine addict.. He probably gets a discount for his fix if you know what I mean.. once an addict always an addict...
