In his 2028 presidential campaign, Secretary of State and White House National Security Advisor Marco Rubio is pursuing his own agenda. A product of the Cuban-American terrorist mafia that has historically profited from the counterrevolution industry in South Florida, Rubio operates a parallel diplomacy that responds to the interests of militant anti-Castroism and colonizing-genocidal Zionism.
A persistent and compulsive liar, as documented by the independent platform Drop Site News, Rubio misinforms and manipulates Donald Trump about the “talks” with Caracas and Havana. And in his cynical and deceptive relationship with Mexico, he uses his Miami pawns and domestic fifth columns as agents of provocation and penetration for destabilizing coup purposes. Examples of the former are Republican Congressman Carlos Giménez and his fellow party members, Mario Díaz-Balart and María Elvira Salazar, to whom he recently added a figure of his own creation: the paid Rosa María Payá, his proxy infiltrated in the OAS Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), blessed by veteran former CIA agents Frank Calzón and Carlos Alberto Montaner. Among the latter are former Foreign Minister Jorge G. Castañeda, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Federico Döring, Beatriz Pagés, René Bolio Hallorán, Juan Peña Nader, Mariana Gómez del Campo, Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca, and other small-time traitorous scribes such as Carlos Alazraki, Carlos Tello Díaz, and Jorge Fernández Meléndez.
The putative son of former Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (the Ferocious She-Wolf), and backed in his political origins by the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF) of CEO Jorge Mas Canosa and leaders of Brigade 2506—an organization directly associated with the mercenary invasion of the Bay of Pigs defeated at Playa Girón—Rubio also counted among his godfathers the confessed terrorist Luis Posadas Carriles (“We planted the bomb, so what?”), co-conspirator, with Orlando Bosch, in the mid-flight bombing of a Cubana de Aviación aircraft in 1976, in which 73 people died, and Orlando Gutiérrez Boronat, leader of the Cuban Democratic Directorate, a front organization for the Central Intelligence Agency.
Linked to the conservative Tea Party movement, Rubio won a Senate seat for the Republican Party in Florida in 2010, and six years later, with the support of the neoconservatives, the most militaristic wing of the Republican national security establishment, he ran for the US presidency against Donald Trump, counting among his donors billionaires such as Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, a Pentagon contractor; casino magnate Sheldon Adelson (and later his widow Miriam); hedge fund manager Paul Singer, a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a member of the Republican Jewish Coalition, a lobby to the right of AIPAC; and banking institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America. In a pragmatic opportunistic turn, “Little Marco”—as the tycoon mockingly called him at the time—later allied himself with his victor, courting MAGA leaders and influential figures in Trump’s circle such as Stephen K. Bannon and Donald Trump Jr., and has become the most powerful member of the cabinet, being the first secretary of state to simultaneously hold the position of national security advisor since Henry Kissinger.
From this position of strength, Rubio operates regime change policies against Cuba and Venezuela, and in the case of Mexico, he moves his pieces and strengthens ties with the ultra-right-wing cipaya. That was the main task of Congressman Carlos Giménez and anti-Castro IACHR Commissioner Rosa María Payá during their recent visits to Mexico. After meeting with legislators Kenia López (PAN), Alejandro Moreno (PRI), and Pedro Haces (Morena), Giménez, a former firefighter representing Miami-Dade County, met with U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson and paid homage to the marines at the diplomatic headquarters. He then reviled President Claudia Sheinbaum for continuing what he called “her pathetic ploy to plunder the Mexican people” in order to “breathe life into her cronies in the moribund dictatorship in Cuba.” “From the U.S. Congress, we denounce her shameful audacity!” he wrote in X. In turn, with her hate speech and promoting the CIA’s opinion matrices, Rosa María Payá secretly participated on January 22 in a forum against Cuba organized at the University of Liberty by businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego, which led to the Mexican Foreign Ministry sending a diplomatic note to the executive secretary of the OAS.
Marco Rubio’s pawns in South Florida, Carlos Giménez and his colleague María Elvira Salazar, face contradictions with Trump’s immigration policy in that state ahead of the crucial midterm elections. Although Rubio cannot openly oppose the president’s agenda without paying immediate political costs, as a hostage of the radical anti-Castro movement that acts as a factor of internal discipline within the Republican Party, he can condition the intelligence information he receives and manage the timing of diplomacy to his personal advantage.
This is not the case for Salazar, who now faces hostility from organizations such as the John Birch Society, which, shouting “America for Americans,” is calling, along with strategist Anthony Sisk, for the deportation of the Cuban-born congresswoman.
