CUBA'S DAY OF INFAMY!! Today in Havana this Grandmother has been crying all day...and not because of either the genocidal U. S. Blockade or the COVID-19 Pandemic. She is crying because today -- October 6th-2021 -- is the 45th Anniversary of a Day that will forever remain a DAY of INFAMY in Cuba. And so today...this actual Grandmother is crying in Havana as she still mourns the teenage son that was murdered on October 6th-1976 by well-known Cubans well-protected by and well-paid by the U. S. government during its ever-lasting efforts to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. While Americans are programmed not to care, for the past 45 years the moment and date above has been seared in the memories of Cubans on the island each second since 12:23 PM on October 6-1976. That was the moment and the date that the civilian Cubana Flight 455 airplane was blown into the ocean by a terrorist bomb...killing all 72 innocent people on board, including two dozen teenage athletes who were returning to Havana after winning Gold Medals in a Central American Tournament in Caracas, Venezuela. ACCORDING TO DE-CLASSFIED U. S. DOCUMENTS BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE DISASTER, the U. S. had the names of the well-known Cuban terrorists who had planned and executed the event. Today -- October 6th-2021 -- this photo shows Cubans in Havana remembering their loved ones murdered on this day exactly 45 years ago by Counter Revolutionary U. S. Cubans. On October 6th-1976 this historic photo shows a sister and a mother who were waiting at the Havana Airport for the return of their brother and son on CUBAN FLIGHT 455. The moment depicted above shows the moment the sister and mother were officially told that the airplane had crashed into the ocean and that there were no survivors. Every day that has passed since October 6th-2021 sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, and grandparents on the island have paid homage and tears on behalf of the precious victims of the terrorist bombing of Cubana Flight 455. But for all the while since October 6th-1976 Americans have been told that such victims were merely "collarateral DAMAGE" as Luis Posada Carriles once famously said in a NY Times interview. Posada and Orlando Bosch, were the two most famed Cuban terrorists mentioned by those de-classified U. S. documents related to the bombing of Cubana Flight 455. But for decades both Posada and Bosch proudly used their ties to Little Havana/Miami and the U. S. government to commit countless Counter Revolutionary terror against Revolutionary Cuba...and both Posada and Bosch didn't mind bragging about such events. Of course, both Bosch & Posada lived out long and heralded lives before dying of old age in South Florida as cherished Little Havana/Miami heroes. Many declassified U. S. documents chronicle the terrorism committed by Posada, Bosch, etc. against innocent Cubans for decades, such as shown above. So, of course, have brave non-U. S. media sources such as the great London-based BBC, as shown above. But, tuh...this montage above shows Luis Posada Carriles being interviewed by Maria Elvira Salazar. In the history of the Miami media, Salazar is the most famous and most notable Spanish journalist. Her long softball interview with Posada depicted above is still easily accessed on YouTube. GUESS WHAT?? As of January of 2021, Maria Elvira Salazar became the latest Little Havana-propelled member of the United States Congress. Of course, getting your Cuban information from Little Havana politicians and journalists like Congresswoman Salazar is, uh, problematic to say the least. But the truth is, every day of every year since 1976 -- and not JUST on October 6th-2021 -- Cubans on the island have mourned "The victims of the terrorist Posada Carriles & the CIA." Of course, that Cuban mother shown above surrounded by her friends and relatives in Havana, to this day is devastated for her son and the other victims of CUBANA FLIGHT 455 way back on October 6th-1976, exactly 45 years ago. In Miami courtrooms there have been millions of dollars doled out to Cubans who have been able to sue Cuba for whatever they want to sue Cuba for, with Cuba, of course, never even represented. I wonder IF someone like that mother in Havana shown above could ever sue in a U. S. courtroom for the death of her son on CUBANA FLIGHT 455?? Posada a Miami hero. A sister & mother in Havana. October 6, 1976. A Day of Infamy for Cuba. But not for the United States. *&***********************&*
As Biden Continues Trump's Cuban Extremes Mexico's tourist airline MAGNI has contracted for major new flights to Cuba starting in May-2022. And other key airlines are also Cuba-bound. As Cuba's own successful COVID-19 vaccines successfully ease the island's pandemic woes, the Biden administration, now deep into its second year, continues to follow the extremes of the Trump presidency that many observers consider to have been a genocidal tightening of the 6-decade-old U. S. Embargo against Cuba. But in April of 2022, as Cuba ends its COVID vaccinations for tourists, there are many more foreign airplanes scheduling more flights to the island...including Turkish, Argentinian, Canadian, etc., airlines. Also, the giant Southwest Airlines in the United States has succumbed to Miami's "high demand for flights to Cuba on its first day of opening to international tourism." But, as noted in the first paragraph above, "the limitations imposed by the Trump administration remain in force, which prevent these {U.S.} companies to make flights to other Cuban provinces." In other words, U. S. airlines -- thanks to Biden's following/mimicking of Trump's Cuban extremes -- would love to fly to at least nine other major Cuban airports but are restricted to just one, the one in Havana. In the USA's two-party political system, many believed that the Democrat Biden presidency would ease the Republican Trump's extreme cruelty against Cuban families on the island. In other words, the Biden administration -- like the Trump administration -- is bowing directly to the rich and politically powerful minority of Cuban-Americans who dominate Miami, Newark, and the U. S. Congress. It simply doesn't matter what the rest of the U. S. and the rest of the world thinks about the endless U. S. embargo/blockade of Cuba that devastates Cuban families on the island but drastically enriches and empowers the Cuban-Americans in Miami, Newark, and Congress. In other words, it doesn't matter if the worldwide image depicted above shames the United States and Democracy for another 6+ decades. What does matter...is how much money and how much power it means for already rich and powerful people who simply don't want to lose the easy piggybank in which extreme political donations dictate far too much of the U. S. laws and policies. Alvaro Fernandez, the editor of Miami's Progreso Weekly, tells us that the "TRUMPIFIED MARCO RUBIO uses language of Democracy to subvert Democracy" but it seems that the money-obsessed Miami Herald, NY Times, Washington Post, etc., and most of the rest of the mainstream U. S. media, saturates anti-Cuban tirades to appease Miami, Newark, and the 10 Cubans in Congress. So...during the Republican Trump presidency from January-2017 till January-2020, Marco Rubio -- the darling of the most extremists Cubans in Little Havana/Miami -- dictated the USA's Cuban policies. When the mainstream U. S. media denies that fact, it is lying to the American people, I think. Above, in the "POLICY SHIFT" mention, it refers to the fact that -- starting in January-2017 -- immediately Rubio was allowed to dismantle all of the inroads the Democratic Obama presidency had made to normalize relations with Cuba; plus Trump allowed Rubio to add drastic anti-Cuba measures to the already drastic Embargo. Of course, as with most of the USA's Cuban policies since the wonderful Spanish-American War in 1898, greed and not Democracy has dictated the treatment that Cuba has gotten from its ultra-powerful, and salivating northern neighbor. In the 2020 U. S. Presidential Election the Republican Trump was pitted against the Democrat Biden. For 8 years Biden had been Obama's Vice-President, so when Biden won the 2020 election many believed that Trump's anti-Cuban extremes would be lessened. But in the USA's two-party political system, Biden as president has proven that the Democrats, like the Republicans, have also now totally capitulated to the wealth and power of the Cubans who control the U. S. Cuban policies in Little Havana/Miami, Newark, Congress, and now even a Democratic White House. Thus, during Trump's 4-year presidency the Republican from Miami, Marco Rubio, dictated the USA's Cuban policies. But in the year+ of the Biden presidency, the Democrat from Newark, Bob Menendez, has been allowed to dictate the USA's Cuban policies. Since 1959, Miami & Newark have been the two prime U. S. cities powered by Counter Revolutionary Cubans. And folks, that is not the way the Founding Fathers back in 1776 envisioned their Democracy to behave. In April of 2022 the Democrat Bob Menendez from Newark has replaced Republican Marco Rubio of Miami as the prime dictator of the USA's Cuban policies, with fellow Senator and sidekick Rubio now relegated to being the USA's #2 prime dictator of the USA's Cuban policies. Prior to the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on January 1 of 1959, Fulgencio Batista and Meyer Lansky -- the two close pals and neighbors in Southern Florida -- had returned to Cuba as dictators from 1952 till January 1, 1959. And, in other words, permit me to repeat: The victory of the Cuban Revolution in 1959 says a lot more about the mighty United States of America than it says about the island of Cuba. Of course, the Miami Herald, the NY Times, the Washington Post, NBC, Telemundo, and the rest of the mainstream U. S. media will deny that fact, but nevertheless it is still a fact in April of 2022. *&***********************&*

Will USA's DEMOCRACY Ever Recover?? As historically illustrated by the photo and graphic above, at least since 9:41 P. M. on February 15th, 1898 the U. S. democracy has been mauled by America's obsession with controlling Cuba, the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island. That was the exact moment when the warship U. S. Maine exploded while it was docked in Havana Harbor, killing 261 U. S. sailors. For months prior to the disaster powerful elements within the U. S. government and in the U. S. media had loudly lobbied for the U. S. to go to war with Spain for the purpose of acquiring possession of Cuba. Spain, which had owned Cuba for many decades, was at the time in no position to win a war against the U. S. in the U.S.'s backyard...but the U. S. and the U. S. media quickly and conveniently blamed Spain for the explosion. Some blamed an accident but the U. S. itself confirmed it was caused by a military mine. So, it surely wasn't an accident. And, surely the Spanish government didn't do it. Thus, in all likelihood the zealots in the U. S. government and the U. S. media finally got their wish to obtain a pretext, or excuse, to declare war against Spain to finally secure U. S. control of Cuba. Well, what about the 261 young U. S. sailors who perished? Collateral damage? In any case, the pretext related to the explosion of the U. S. Maine began the U.S.'s quest to become an imperialist power because it was the excuse for the easy U. S. victory in the Spanish-American War in 1898 in Cuba. In addition to Cuba, the U. S. used the Spanish-American War to also gain control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from Spain...but the pretext for the war was Cuba!!! On February 15th, 1898, with Spain's permission, the warship USS Maine was docked in Havana Harbor although Spain was well aware that the U. S. was seeking a reason to go to war to acquire Cuba. At 9:41 P. M. that night a mine below the ship exploded, killing 261 U. S. sailors. The devastating explosion that destroyed the USS Maine in Havana Harbor quickly spawned the Battle Cry "REMEMBER THE MAINE" that fueled the excuse for the Spanish American War, fulfilling the fervent wishes of prime politicians and publishers in the U. S. who had longed sought an excuse to go to go with Spain to capture Cuba. But, as you see in the historical report below, the "Propaganda of the Spanish-American War" revealed the fact, and exposed the iron grip that greedy politicians and publishers had around the throat of the U. S. democracy...and, unfortunately, still do. If you take a moment to read the accurate historical report above, you will see that the very first sentence starts with these accurate words: "The Spanish-American War {April-August 1898} is considered to be both a turning point in the history of propaganda and the beginning of the practice of yellow journalism." Americans, of course, have been programmed not to believe such honest sentences related to U.S.-Cuban relations, proving once again that Cuba, the Caribbean island, says a lot more about the United States than is says about Cuba!! Of course, the politicians and publishers who were/are responsible are never held accountable for atrocities such as...Remember the Maine; stealing the lush Cuban port of Guantanamo Bay from Cuba in 1903; teaming with the MAFIA to support the brutal-thieving Batista dictatorship in Cuba in 1952; allowing the most feverish Batistianos chased out of Cuba by the Cuban Revolution in 1959 to create Little Havana in Miami; paying, training, and providing Batista exiles to lead an air-land-sea military attack on Cuba known as the Bay of Pigs in 1961; paying and allowing two vicious and self-declared Cuban exile terrorists named Posada & Bosch to spend decades killing and maiming totally innocent Cubans; etc.; etc.; etc.; etc. Prior to and apart from its age-old thirst to control and dominate Cuba, of course, the U. S. democracy had never been involved in such nefarious behavior!!! And now, go back and closely read the long third paragraph that explains how the nation's two most powerful newspaper publishers -- William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer -- used their enormous power to salaciously and repetitiously use propaganda to guide the U. S. into seeking a pretext to provoke a war with Spain so the U. S. could finally get control of CUBA!! History correctly defines what Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst did to propel the U. S. into war with Spain so the U. S. could gain control of Cuba!! It was/is called "Yellow Journalism." And what Pulitzer and Hearst pioneered to drive the U. S. into war to get hold of Cuba in the 1890s is today called "Fake News." Unfortunately, "Fake News" -- what Pulitzer and Hearst invented as "Yellow Journalism" -- today saturates the mainstream U. S. media, especially regarding Cuba!!! This Editorial Cartoon shows Pulitzer on the left and Hearst on the right pushing mightily against other to see which of their powerful New York newspapers would lead the propaganda effort to get the U. S. to declare WAR against Spain so the U. S. could capture Cuba. Yes, history calls that tactic Yellow Journalism and, thus, Pulitzer and Hearst are attired in yellow clothing. The graphic above was appropriate during and after the Spanish-American War in 1898...but in 2021 such Yellow Journalism from the mainstream media is called "Fake News" and it particularly pertains to prime U. S. media promoting -- IN MAY OF 2021 -- the Biden administration's recapture of Cuba after allowing a little more time for Trump's genocide against Cuba to further soften up the Cuban people on the island. Of course, the pusillanimous and gutless generation of Americans who allowed Yellow Journalism regarding Cuba in 1898 is no different than the pusillanimous and gutless generation of Americans who are currently and sanctimoniously permitting U. S. genocide against Cubans on the island, a plague often promoted by mainstream Yellow Journalism/Fake News media outlets...such as the Washington Post!! Because the topic is Cuba, most of what Americans have been told about the 1898 Spanish-American War has been biased information. So, I suggest you take advantage {above} of the Age of Search Engines to learn about the historic truths regarding such things as...the Spanish-American War!!! The death knell of honest mainstream news in the U. S. media was sealed when the money-crazed U. S. government allowed even controversial but extremely wealthy individuals and corporations to purchase the nation's most powerful U. S. news organizations. Prior to that disaster, there were strict rules against such things, as well as monopolistic limitations. For example, Jeff Bezos was born to destitute teenage parents in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but when he was adopted at age four by a rich Cuban father he was on the path to Princeton University. He then used his father's money to start Amazon, and therefore today he is the richest person in the history of the entire world!!! "What the hell....?" A parody or not, Jeff Bezos used some of his pocket change to buy the iconic Washington Post. As a liberal {My favorite President is Barack Obama and my least favorite is Donald Trump}, I was a lifetime very devoted reader of the Post...at least till it was purchased by Jeff Bezos and then transformed into nothing more and northing less than a richly funded extreme left-wing Fake News propaganda dispenser. Along with corporate-owned extreme left-wing Fake News dispensers such as the NY Times, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, and ABC, the Washington Post specialized in Fake News to defeat Trump's reelection bid starting with the day Trump became President via the November-2016 election!!! While I am very much anti-Trump, I sincerely believe that the greatest threat to the U. S. democracy is the current status of the U. S. mainstream media giants, as named above, who now have collaborative and extreme and unlimited amounts of money that gives them the wherewithal to make the U. S. a one-party government -- namely, the extreme left-wing Democratic Party. I am a lifelong liberal Democrat but I believe the U. S. should forever remain at least a two-PARTY government. In other words, all aspects of the Republican Party must not be wiped out and all their backers should never be totally vilified and then demolished, which is now what the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post and the rest of the above-named media giants are in the process of doing. As far as Cuba is concerned, the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post allows the most vicious Counter Revolutionary Cubans to write prime anti-Cuban editorials, apparently because Jeff Bezos wants to please his very influential Cuban-American stepfather. In the 2020 Election that defeated President Trump and put President Biden in the White House, Americans are programmed not to believe that "FAKE NEWS & MISINFORMATION" -- as perpetrated by the ultra-rich and extreme left-wing media -- was responsible. But...it was. And so, the Yellow Journalism/Fake News phenomenon now saturates the mainstream U. S. media, and everyday Americans seem to understand that fact but most Americans don't feel they can correct it, although actually they may have a chance to address such issues in the 2022 Congressional elections. According to the U. S. government and according to the mainstream U. S. media, the only people who are permitted to discuss or influence Cuban policies in the United States are self-serving and extreme Counter Revolutionary zealots such...Marco Rubio, Bob Menendez, Mauricio Claver-Carone, the Diaz-Balart brothers, etc., etc. For damn sure, as far as the U. S. government and the mainstream U. S. media is concerned, Cubans on the island are never allowed to express their opinions. But, in the digital-social media-internet era we now know that Cubans on the island like Daily Perez Guillen do, in fact, have powerful opinions!!! As shown by her statement above, Daily believes that the U. S. Blockade against Cuban families is genocidal, illegal, and immoral. Daily is a journalist who supports the Cuban government and she says almost of all Cubans on the island feel that way. She points out that if that was not so the ultra-powerful exiles and the United States would have recaptured the island "long, long ago!!" Like most of the Cubans on the island, Daily is well educated. She maintains that the "the incredible amounts of money the U. S. government doles out to dissidents and would-be dissidents creates anti-Cuban protests and incidents but the everyday Cubans disdain such foreign money doing such wicked things." And Daily says, "The U. S. media claims Cubans on the island all want to get to Miami but the fact is, despite the genocide inflicted by the world's superpower, most of us will stay on the island and, if necessary, fight-to-the-death to keep the sovereignty that the Cuban Revolution finally gave us on January 1, 1959. Americans might not believe that but that is because they are lied to. But ask a smart and informed American, especially one who has been to Cuba, and ask them...uh, how in the heck has Revolutionary Cuba survived for over six decades? The reason....from the 1950s until today -- in May of 2021 -- there have always been enough Cubans on the island willing to fight to the death to make sure no foreign country -- or an entity like the U.S.-backed Mafia -- ever again controls us." Of course, Americans are programmed not to believe a thing that Daily Perez Guillen says...because she is a Cuban on the island and not a Cuban in the U. S. Congress or a Cuban in Little Havana USA/Miami. On the other hand, Daily Perez Guillen is well-educated, smart and she actually has opinions on the island. In that milieu, she has asked a pertinent question...you know, about "how in the heck has Revolutionary Cuba survived for over six decades?" And, uh...that's a good question considering that viciously determined Cuban exiles, backed by the strongest and richest nation in the world, have unsuccessfully tried for over six decades to recapture the pugnacious and much misunderstood island nation!!!! As a journalist in Cuba, working for the state, Daily says, "The internet and social media shows us that the U. S. media lies to its readers and viewers about Cuba and, I guess, about other things. We journalists in Cuba believe our readers and viewers and listeners are too smart to be lied to, so fake news is not our gig." The powerful international media giant El Pais, based in Madrid, echoes what Daily Perez Guillen said regarding Cubans on the island having opinions, including about fighting to the death to keep Little Havana and the U. S. from recapturing Havana. So, El Pais is a place Americans could get some real honest news about Cuba...as is the London-based BBC World News and the Paris-based Agence France-Presse {AFP}. For example, today -- May 7th, 2021 -- El Pais sent the above article around the world: "Cuba playing all or nothing amid urgent need for change." As you can see it is written by an honest journalist, Mauricio Vicent, who is stationed in Havana for El Pais. Such updated and honest journalism about Cuba by an international source is important. As far as the U. S. Yellow Journalism/Fake News is concerned Carlos Lazo is a Cuban-American who doesn't exist...or at least doesn't have opinions. Yet, like most Cuban-Americans, he believes that the U. S. blockade of Cuban families on the island is illegal, immoral, and genocidal. Carlos Lazo is a Cuban-American professor in Seattle. He is famed for riding his bicycle, accompanied by some of his students, the 3,000 miles from Seattle to Washington to beg the U. S. Congress and the White House to end the Blockade against Cubans on the island. Carlos Lazo is ubiquitous on Facebook and other social media outlets, and he is a leader of anti-Embargo/Blockade street protests from Seattle to Washington to Tampa to Miami, etc. Of course, the mainstream U. S. is too yellow or too fake to even report that Cuban-Americans like Carlos Lazo exist. But...he does exist, and the mainstream U. S. media that caters to everything the Little Havana zealots maintain should have the courage and the integrity to tell about the decent and democracy-loving Carlos Lazo, a Cuban-American who now devotes his life to ending what he says is the cruel and genocidal U. S. Embargo/Blockade against innocent Cuban families on the island. *&***********************&*
Tomorrow Is: November 15-2021!!! The photo above is flashing around the world today -- on Sunday, November 14th, 2021. It was taken by the great photo-journalist Yamil Lage for the Paris-based AFP News Agency that covers Cuba fairly. This photo shows..."...Cubans arguing at El Quijote Park in Havana Sunday where dissident Yunior Garcia was scheduled to speak today." Tomorrow -- on Nov. 15th-2021 -- Yunior Garcia will lead "Protests in Cuba" that millions of Cubans on the island believe is meant to start "A Miami-backed COUP meant to overthrow the Cuban Revolution." Today -- SUNDAY -Nov. 14th-2021 -- the image above shows that the powerful TV-10 and other media in Miami is promoting the fact that tomorrow -- MONDAY -- might be a bloody day in Cuba. Today -- Sunday, Nov. 14-2021 -- these are the googled Cuban headlines. The NY Times claims that "Desires for Food and Freedom" are the reasons for the protests that will roil Cuba tomorrow. Cuba itself says the reason for the coup is Miami's decades-long desire to recapture Cuba as in the days of the Batista-Mafia rule on the island in the 1950s prior to the Cuban Revolution that created Little Havana in nearby Miami in 1959. As you see above, The Washington Post today heralds the fact that the "Cuban Government, Dissidents Head Toward Monday Confrontation." And The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the history of the world, and Jeff Bezos's step-father is anti-Castro/Cuban-born Miguel Bezos. And, as you see above, today TV-10 in Miami is promoting live coverage of demonstrations that are "SHOWING SOLIDARITY for those in Cuba...!!!!!" Of course, since 1959 the Little Havana section in Miami has been supported by the U. S. media, the U. S. government, extreme amounts of money, as well as extreme amounts of terror and military excursions...and still Little Havana has been unable to recapture Cuba. All the while, to obtain the support of U. S. citizens and U. S. dollars, Little Havana has loudly proclaimed that Cubans on the island hate their Revolutionary government and long for the U.S.-backed Batistiano/Mafiosi rulers that ruled Cuba in the 1950s and spawned the Cuban Revolution that in 1959 captured Havana and created Little Havana in Miami. While since 1959 Little Havana leaders in the U. S. have dictated their views to both the U. S. media and the U. S. government, but the views of Cubans on the island such as Adriana, an everyday Cuban, and Yadira, a journalist on Cuban TV, also have views...as Adriana on Social Media and Yadira {shown above reporting on a street in Havana today} would also like the world to know about the Havana-Little Havana conundrum. And their point is this: "Most Cubans on the island were do-or-die supporters of the Revolution and for all these decades since 1959 most of the Cubans on the island are still do-or-die supporters of Revolutionary Cuba. And if that was not or is not so, the Miami Cubans would have regained control of Cuba long ago." In other words, there are two sides to the Havana-Little Havana conundrum...and unless and until Adriana and Yadira are proved to be either idiots or liars, I believe that the U. S. media should EXPLAIN why Little Havana, with all its economic, political, and fire-power advantages, has been unable to recapture Havana since 1959!! Facing what Cubans on the island believe is a well-funded and powerful coup that will commence tomorrow -- Nov. 15th-2021 -- the photo above shows an outdoor concert in Havana last night -- Saturday, Nov. 13th -- that drew thousands of Cubans. Cuba's most beloved band, Buena Fe/Good Faith, told the audience on the live televised video, "We came here tonight to give the world, including Miami, a kiss and nothing else." This afternoon -- on Sunday, Nov. 14-2021 -- the music-loving Cubans are attending other concerts on the eve of tomorrow's coup/protests. The concert above today, as you see above, was attended by Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel. After that concert today, as you see above, President Diaz-Canel was facing a bevy of television cameras on TV and live on Social Media as he said: "In the 1950s brave revolutionaries were willing to give their lives to chase greedy and brutal leaders supported by a foreign power off our land. At the Bay of Pigs attack in 1961 and many other times, revolutionaries have been willing to die to save our country. Tomorrow we must be willing to do whatever it takes, as similar revolutionaries, to keep remnants of greedy and brutal foreign-backed forces from doing what the Batista and Mafia forces did to our people before the 1959 triumph of the our revolution. The first two things the coup tomorrow will try to do is get video to send back to Miami of the coup-mongers being brutalized, and we must not do that, and the second thing they want is for Yunior Garcia or someone like him to become your leader. I want to be your leader only as long as you Cubans want to be led by me, and not by Miami Cubans." Starting tomorrow -- Monday, November 15th, 2021 -- it appears that President Miguel Diaz-Canel is the underdog against Miami-supported dissidence. But he believes that since his days as Education Minister he has had the strong support of most Cubans on the island. But since its first-known existence in 1492, the island of Cuba has been a huge underdog against a vast array of supposedly much-stronger imperialist nations. And the only Revolution that defeated such forces was in 1959 when underdog rebels defeated the U.S.-backed & Mafia-backed Batista regime, creating the endless and ultra-powerful Little Havana faction on U. S. soil. Tomorrow will yet again be a major test for Cuba, and unfortunately once again foreign influence will be a deciding factor in the outcome...whether or not the U. S. calls it Protests, a War, or a Coup!!! Little Havana vs. Havana!! Tomorrow is: Nov. 15th-2021!! *&***********************&*
