Colonel of the Ministry of the Interior, Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro "Raulito", "The Crab"

According to Juan Juan Almeida, son of Commander Juan Almeida, one of Fidel Castro's original collaborators, after his parents' divorce, he was sent to live at Raúl Castro's house. Raulito was born not only with an extra finger on one hand (hence the nickname "Cangrejo") but also with a mental disability. Juan Juan was in the hospital on the day of the birth.

As Raúl Castro's "favorite" grandson, he was viewed for decades as a devoted bodyguard to his grandfather, whether in a guayabera (as he is a security officer for the Ministry of the Interior) or in a suit and tie, shoving anyone who got in his way to position himself behind Raúl, disregarding any protocol. A true "ñame con corbata," a term used in Cuba to refer to someone unfit for the position they hold, who, at this moment, is none other than a liaison with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

We are now faced with a torrent of information coming from the United States about this character. USA Today portrays him as someone who, as Trump says, can communicate with Marco (Rubio) on equal terms. In its article, it discusses the clothing and the luxuries, in a capitalist manner, that El Cangrejo enjoys. Then, the New York Times, the same one that created the myth that Fidel Castro is akin to Robin Hood, reports on "Raulito's" role in the dirty business of human trafficking through Mexico to the United States, complete with torture and all, and corroborates this individual's bourgeois tastes.

I assume that just as the CIA selected Delcy Rodríguez for the Venezuelans, it will be looking for another Rodríguez for Cuba. It could be Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla so that Rubio has a peer-to-peer connection, or the CIA might lean more towards pure criminal mafia, in which case "Raulito" would come out on top.

Delcy Rodríguez stands out for her cooperation with Rodríguez Zapatero, so the descendants of Rodrigo “El Cid” are very active.

If the goal is to reach directly to those in power in Cuba, the CIA is hitting the mark by bringing "Raulito" to talk in St. Kitts. Why waste time? A Colonel, Rodríguez, is needed, but Castro as well, trained to follow orders, and Delcy can offer good advice on this. Just as Pizarro kidnapped Atahualpa and Cortés took Moctezuma, the U.S. has threatened the grandfather with taking him to the Federal Detention Center in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami, so it can offer the Crab a double incentive: save the nonagenarian and enter history as the colonel who, like Colonel Batista, rose from nothing after the revolution of '33 (yes, we Cubans have been at this for a while).

The most unlikely ideas have come to the CIA's mind, so we cannot underestimate it.

Certainly, the Rodríguez who signs this document wants a Cuba that is free, sovereign, independent, and democratic. Forward, the slogan of Mas Canosa, not backward like the crab. No, to the fraudulent change. Let the CIA sponsor a bloodless coup with another janissary, as that's what they are paid for.
