Today -- on June 10th in 2024 -- the worldwide media is reporting that "Tensions escalate as Russia sends submarines to Cuba." Above you can see that headline flashing around the world by the powerful WION News Network headquartered in India. And study all the photos and captions shown below: The two leaders of Cuba and Russia insist that there will be "NO NUKES ON RUSSIAN SHIPS" that will be visiting Havana in June of 2024 when they arrive in Havana just a few miles from Key West, Florida, and not far from the controversial U. S. Military Base at Guantanamo Bay in southeast Cuba. Tap the 5-minute YouTube video shown above to watch how "THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS" for 13 frightening days in October of 1962 had the whole world shaking with fear. And understand that the Soviet Union and United States nuclear misslies in 1962 were mere toys compared with what the Russian and United States nuclear missiles are in 2024. In the 5-minute video shown above, PLESE NOTE that a last-second decision by one Russian general probably saved the world from a nuclear war in October of 1962. For sure, Cuba is just a few miles from the United States but thousands of miles from Russia. And, for sure, Cuba is well aware that being friends with the United States would be much better than being friends with faraway Russia. But the reality is...that the United States, not Russia, has imposed a devastating economic EMBARGO that has surrounded Cuba since 1962, or since 1962 because the U. S. had been unable to overthrow the Cuban Revolution that had overthrown the U.S. backed Batista DICTATORSHIP in 1959. It so happens that the EMBARGO against Cuba, in the past five years under the Trump and Biden administrations, has created massive food shortages, deprivations of many things including much-needed medical supplies, and massive electric power blackouts across the severely targeted Caribbean island. Cuba thus is hoping Russia, which has recently sent some oil to Cuba, will help even more. While the United States shows no signs of easing the six-decade EMBARGO and while Russia claims it will help Cuba survive the EMBARGO, at the moment in June of 2024 perhaps the real question is...what choices do Cuba have TO CHOOSE FROM????????????? *&***********************&*

EXCEPT FOR, Of course, the U. S. & Israel!! This image was at the UN today. Today -- June 23rd, 2021 -- for the 29th consecutive year the world loudly denounced the U. S. Embargo/Blockade against Cuban families. Today the vote in the United Nations in NY was 184-to-2. As you can see above, the two red dots reveal that the two usual suspects -- the United States and Israel -- were the only two nations in the whole world to vote to continue the six-decade-old Embargo, which is easily history's longest and cruelest embargo ever conducted against masses of people in a much smaller nation by miscreants in a much larger nation. Of course, greed prolongs the embargo: A few Cubans & Americans benefit; while Israel is by far the largest recipient of billions of dollars from the United States. Billions of decent people in 184 of the world's nations today -- June 23rd, 2021 -- particularly voiced their opinions of the endless U. S. embargo being expanded into a genocidal blockade by the Trump and Biden administrations as the neighboring island also battles the deadly COVID pandemic. Of course, in the USA's two-party political system there are 535 members of the United States Congress. But...it only takes two vicious Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans -- Senator Bob Menendez and Senator Marco Rubio -- to dictate America's Cuban policies, such as the extremely cruel but very lucrative Embargo/Blockade. Thus, Rubio, a Republican, easily dictated Cuban policy to President Trump and now Menendez, a Democrat, is easily dictating Cuban policy to President Biden. In that milieu, of course, this generation of U. S. citizens are programmed not to be ashamed of shameful worldwide images of their Democracy...including images like these: Un-wonderful IMAGES of the U. S. But ENDLESSLY allowed!!! *&***********************&*

It was on August 13th-1926 in Biran, Cuba that Fidel Castro was born. It was on January 1st- 1959 that Fidel Castro led the Cuban Revolution to a rather astounding victory over the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba. And it was on March 25th-2016 in Havana that Fidel Castro died at age 90. But on November 26th, 2021, the fact is that Fidel Castro not only still "SPEAKS" for Cuba but Fidel Castro still RULES Cuba. Of course, the Cubans who control Miami and are in total control of Washington's Cuban policies totally deny that truth...and that is perhaps why they are unable to regain control of Cuba despite having the overwhelming and unchecked wherewithal to do so over the last 6+ decades. But...like the U. S., Mafia, and Batista back in the 1950s...in 2021 the Cubans in Miami and in Washington today simply can't seem to out-smart Fidel Castro -- not even five years after Fidel Castro's death. Back on Sunday -- November 25th-2021 -- the United States celebrated its Thanksgiving Holiday while the very same day Cuba mourned the 5th anniversary of Fidel Castro death. On November 25th-2021 -- exactly five years after Fidel Castro's death at age 90 -- Cubans all over the island, everyday Cubans as well as government officials -- paid elaborate homage to "their eternal Commander." On November 25th-2021 the new hand-crafted "USA HANDS OFF CUBA NOW" signs were ubiquitous and they were in honor of Cuba's eternal Commander. On November 25th-2021 on the 5th anniversary of Fidel Castro's death at age 90 in 2016, all the top leaders in Cuba journeyed to the southeastern tip of the island to Santiago de Cuba to pay homage at the tomb of the rebel leader. That included Fidel Castro's beloved widow Dalia Soto del Valle. At the tomb, Dalia Soto del Valle. From 1980 until he died in 2016, Dalia Soto del Valle was Fidel Castro's devoted wife. She gave birth to his last five children, all sons: Alex, Antonio, Alejandro, Alexis, and Angel. From 1980 till his death in 2016, all intimates knew that Dalia Soto del Valle kept very keen eyes on Fidel Castro and on everyone who visited them in their Havana home. Dalia was born in the south-central coastal city of Trinidad where she was well-educated and became a teacher. That is how she became close friends with Cuba's incomparable revolutionary heroine Celia Sanchez. Celia recruited Dalia during the island's Literary Campaign that educated Cuban children and adults who had been direly uneducated until the Revolution overthrew the Batista regime. It was at a Literary event in Cienfuegos that Celia introduced Dalia to Fidel. From 1957, when he joined Celia's vital guerrilla war in the Maestra Mountains and its foothills, until she died of cancer on January 11th in 1980, Fidel's constant companion was Celia but a few days after Celia died, to fulfill Celia's wishes, Dalia married Fidel...and the marriage was an extremely loving one until Fidel died on November 25th, 2016. One of the prime lies about the Cuban Revolution that Americans have been systematically told since the 1950s is this true fact: Women have always been prime fighters, recruiters, and decision-makers during and after the Revolutionary War, such as Celia Sanchez, Vilma Espin, Haydee Santamaria, etc., etc. Cubans on the island are well aware that Celia Sanchez was not only the Flower of the Revolution but also, with Fidel Castro's total blessing, the prime decision-maker...and whether or not he agreed with those decisions, Fidel supported them. Whatever decision that Celia Sanchez was writing down on the morning shown above in Revolutionary Cuba, she well knew that Fidel Castro would support it when he got out of his rocking chair and studied it...meaning that things such as the Committees to Defend the Revolution, the Federation of Cuban Women, a Guarantee of Free Education Through College and Free Healthcare Birth to Death for all Cubans, etc., etc. would become law in Revolutionary Cuba. For the past 6+ decades, since 1959, Miami and Washington have spent day-after-day trying to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba...and all the while Americans have been told lies about things as important as...Celia Sanchez. And, therefore, Americans are told that the Celia Sanchez quotation depicted above was/is a lie, although it was/is uncannily true: "We rebels...get far too much credit for winning the revolution. Our enemies deserve most of the credit, for being greedy cowards and idiots." In these closing days of November-2021, one of the greatest Celia Sanchez disciples is Johana Tablada. For years, Johana has been one of the most important Cubans and is especially ultra-vital regarding Cuba's relations with the United States. In the photo above, Johana Tablada was being interviewed a few days ago by a journalist named Liz Oliva. In the U. S., the media is only interested in the extreme anti-Cuban views of dissidents or Miami Cubans but surely not the views of everyday Cubans who support the revolution and certainly not those of ultra-powerful and well-respected Cubans like Johana Tablada. And, for the record, in the interview shown above, Johana Tablada, the fierce Celia Sanchez disciple, gave some prime hints as to why Miami and Washington keep having, decade-to-decade, such unsuccessful efforts in trying to recapture the pugnacious Caribbean island that is close-by, just south of Miami. *&***********************&*

But 2021 Will Be A Struggle!! In this first week of January of 2021 both the Cuban government and most of the 11.2 million Cubans on the island are using banners like the one above to celebrate: "HAPPY 2021: The 62nd Anniversary of the Triumph of the Cuban Revolution. CUBA LIVES!!!" Of course, since January 1-1959 after the Cuban Revolution chased the leaders of the U.S.-backed/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship to their new sanctuary in Little Havana in the heart of Miami the Cuban Counter Revolutionaries and the U. S. government then proclaimed that recapturing Cuba would take only a few weeks, or a few months at the most. But as pugnacious and shocking as the Revolutionary triumph over the powerful Batista dictators...who were supported by the strongest nation in the world and by the strongest criminal organization in the world...was...let it be known that that the 62-year-old longevity of the Cuban Revolution is even more pugnacious and shocking than was the original triumph 62 YEARS AGO!!! The eTurbo News photo above this week shows two Cuban women walking in Havana. Unlike the overthrown Batista dictatorship, Revolutionary Cuba since 1959 has mandated free healthcare for life and free education through college for every Cuban on the island. So, while wearing COVID-19 masks, these two Cuban women are smart, well educated, and healthy. They also have opinions about their revolution and their lives...and about the lives of their children. Like most Cubans on the island, these two women support the Revolution and they resent the Little Havana and United States genocide aimed at them and their families. Moreover, they resent the fact that the superpower U. S. government and the superpower U. S. media formulate lies about them while refusing to permit their OPINIONS to be heard. But on the island, now that most Cubans have access to Smart Phones and the Internet and Social Media outlets, Cubans like these two women can voice their hopes, dreams, and desires openly and freely. Using that Online power, Cubans in Cuba have discovered that they can openly and strongly criticize their government...as long as the government believes they are not influenced by funds from Little Havana and from the United States government. For example, in this first week of 2021 Cubans in Cuba are adjusting to totally new currency and many have openly complained about it directly to the government as well as to the Cuban media and via their ubiquitous Social Media forums. They know they can strongly complain...except if their complaints are believed to be or discovered to be funded by dollars from Little Havana and the United States. This Ramon Espinosa/AP photo above depicts how Cuba, starting this first week of January-2021, has ended its dual currency system and devalued the peso. This Lisette Poole/Bloomberg photo was used to illustrate an article to help explain how the changed currency system will effect and alter the lives of the Cuban people {a lot}. Many think it will add to inflation and make products priced higher, but the government is willing to risk dealing with that eventuality. This Ramon Espinosa/AP photo shows how a Cuban is trying to adjust to the new single-currency system on the island. The two articles above from two major U. S. news sources, the Associated Press and Bloomberg News, accurately reveal the drastic effects for Cubans regarding the new currency changes. The article above by David Urra reveals one way that Cuba is trying to indicate that it hopes to improve its dismal economy in 2021. Cuba is 9th in the world in the production of Nickel, an important mineral used in the manufacture of things such as Smart Phones, electric cars, etc. Cuba has plans for its Cuban/Canadian plants in Holguin Province to increase its production of Nickel in the New Year of 2021. The Cuban government admits that its already fragile economy lost 11% of its value in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And President Trump's Little Havana-directed genocide exacerbated the economic hardship when Trump permitted Counter Revolutionary zealots to tighten the EMBARGO, which was instituted way back in 1962 for the purpose of "starving, depriving, and making miserable" the Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their own Revolutionary government. For sure, the Embargo has severely hurt generations of innocent Cuba, but it hasn't induced them to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government because most Cubans remember the extreme thievery and brutality of the U.S.-backed Batista rule. And neither have such things as the US-Little Havana Bay of Pigs military attack in April-1961, many drastic terrorist attacks {such as killing all 72 innocent people aboard Cubana Flight 455 in 1976}, etc., etc. Meanwhile, Cuba in the first days of 2021 hopes that...getting a handle on the Pandemic, and getting shed of the Trump administration, and hoping the new currency system will prove successful, and hoping it can revive its tourist industry, and increasing things such as Nickel production will improve things for the Cuban people on the island. Also, facing the decades-long Embargo-Blockade from the superpower United States, Cuba has been forced to purchase about $2 billion dollars of imported food each year. But now it is strongly trying to grow more of its own food even in the midst of the continuing Embargo-Blockade. As reflected by the three photos above, Cuba is trying to persuade and fund Cuban farmers to begin to grow more food for the Cubans on the island and for tourists who are anticipated to continue to return despite COVID precautions and the U. S. Embargo/Blockade. Meanwhile, as the Year-2021 has dawned in the Caribbean, for seven decades Americans have been told that the nice Batista-Mafia leaders were chased out of Havana in 1959 by the bad Castro-led Rebels. Thus the programmed American citizens, at least till the Good Guys in Little Havana recapture Cuba, the American people should continue to pump money and material and political favors to Little Havana to the good Cubans. In the U. S., the history of the Cuban revolution and the ongoing efforts of the rich and powerful Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Little Havana has always been terribly slanted in favor of Little Havana, and grossly slanted against Havana. But a few facts creep out. And through it all, the Caribbean island of Cuba has done some historic and incredible things: It defeated a brutal dictatorship supported by the world's strongest nation and by the world's strongest criminal organization; and it has somehow survived for 62 years the ultra-powerful forces that have combined to try to recapture its vulnerable island. And through it all, the two photos directly above taken this first week of 2021 by Havana photographer Wendy Oliva Gonzalez, shows that Cuban mothers in January of 2021 are miraculously protecting their children in the Age of COVID, in the Age of Trump, and in an Age when the United States has expanded the cruel 6-decades-old Embargo into what appears to be intended as a Genocidal Blockade. And way back in 1953 (above}, it should be remembered, another generation of Cuban Mothers began the brave street marches that spawned the Cuban Revolution, which in January of 1959 captured Havana and thus spawned Little Havana in Miami. And, considering that Cuba is an island nation and the United States is the world's strongest and richest nation, that is why I believe the Cuban Revolution has changed the United States even more than it has changed Cuba. *&***********************&*

Headlines on June 7th-2024 say "YES". Throughout the first six months of 2024 worldwide headlines have chronicled the true facts reporting that the island-nation of Cuba is facing massive food shortages, medical deprivations, and power blackouts. Cuba, of course, says the reason is the U. S. EMBARGO that has existed since 1962 -- which easily makes it the longest and tightest EMBARGO any powerful nation has ever imposed on any small nation. The United States, of course, says its famed and endless EMBARGO has no part in Cuba's problems because, prior to 1959 when the U. S. loved dictator Batista's Cuba, the United States helped the island become extremely rich thanks to U. S. companies championing tourism while other money-making schemes...such as gambling, drugs, and prostitution -- were luring massive tourists with lots of money to spend. Of course, billions of people around the world since 1959, after the Revolution overthrew Dictator Batista, have come to believe that both Cuba and the United States are lying about who is to blame for the island's dire problems. Nevertheless, the prime victims in U.S.-loved Batista's Cuba and in U.S.-hated Revolutionary Cuba have been and still are the millions of Cuban men, women, and children on the devastated island, an island cruelly surrounded by its northern Superpower neighbor. The images of Cuban farmers using oxen to plow their fertile fields have been uniquitous during the six-decades+ that the U. S. EMBARGO of Cuba has existed. Obviously, as revealed by worldwide headlines about families in Cuba facing starvation, the Cuban farmers have needed some modern farm equipments, not just oxen, to prepare their crops. If the ultra-rich Superpower neighbor United States continues to maintain its tight economic EMBARGO that Cuba says is causing starvation on the island in 2024, obviously the island nation is forced to beg for help from other nations...even from nations that are considered serious U. S. enemies. Meanwhile, on June 7th in 2024 the Cuban media is telling the Cuban people that the island is trying to help them...such as acquiring these ultra-modern tractors that are being provided to farmers in the ultra-fertile Pinar Del Rio province southwest of Havana. But even as these vital new tractors are being delivered to Cuban farmers, the top Worldwide Cuba Headlines on June 7th in 2024 are suggesting that little Cuba is being drawn into what might soon become a nuclear war between the two top nuclear Superpowers in the world -- namely, the United States and Russia. If you doubt that possibility, please study the Top Cuban Headlines flashing around the world today -- on June 7th in 2024: The Cuban Headlines on June 7th-2024!! The headline and article shown above are on June 7th-2024 from The Guardian, the London-based worldwide news source. The U. S. is currently providing weapons to Israel in Gaza and to Ukraine in its bloody war with Russia. While the U. S. is awash with nuclear weapons, so is Russia -- and both have pinpoint delivery systems from the ground silos, missiles, ships, and submarines. The Guardian, as shown above, is among the many international news sources deeply worried in June of 2024 about Russia complaining loudly last week that the U. S. is providing precision weapons that Ukraine can now send across the border to strike inside Russia. Cuba says that the Russian ships that will dock in Havana in mid-June of 2024 will not be armed with nuclear weapons..."but......" The entire world in June of 2024 well remembers the "The Cuban Missile Crisis that -- for 13 days in October of 1962 -- had the entire world deadly afraid about a possible Nuclear War between the Soviet Union {Russia} and the United States. For sure, the Cuban Missile Crisis way back in October of 1962 is still considered the closest the world has ever come to a Nuclear War. The world today also understands that the newly discovered bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 destroyed two big Japanese cities, causing Japan to finally quit in World War Two. And please understand...between 1945 and 2024 both the United States and Russia have developed nuclear weapons and delivery systems that -- BY COMPARISON -- would make the 1945 bombs to be like mere TOYS. The two leaders in 1962 who barely averted a nuclear war. Next week judging by the above headlines -- in mid-June of 2024 -- the world is hoping that the current leaders of Russia and the United States can also avert a nuclear war...even as nuclear-armed Russian warships and submarines are at this moment supposedly heading towards docking at the southern doorstep of the United States in the waters of Cuba. This map shows where the unwanted U. S. military base at Guantanamo Bay is located on the southeastern tip of Cuba. It also shows where the Bay of Pigs U. S. military land-air-sea attack designed to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba landed on Cuban soil near the southern coastal city of Trinidad in April of 1961, but it was a gigantic U. S. failure that was then followed by such things as the U. S. EMBARGO of Cuba in 1962. And, moreover, this map also shows Cuba's capital of Havana that is just a few miles from the United States. It appears, if all those worldwide headlines are correct, Russian nuclear ships and submarines will be docked in Havana's waters in a few days. For sure, remembering the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, the world hopes that the United States, Russia, and little Cuba can avert a nuclear war in June of 2024. And, for sure, there are already too many non-nuclear wars in the world...but, SO FAR there has never been a nuclear war. *&***********************&*

BUT little CUBA calls IT A BLOCKADE!! Today is February 3rd of 2024 and it was on February 3rd of 1962 that President John F. Kennedy signed and legalized the U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE against Cuba. It became legal shortly after the infamous U. S. military {Bay of Pigs} attack against Cuba in April of 1961 failed to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. Legalizing the EMBARGO/BLOCKADE became firm on February 3rd of 1962 when President Kennedy signed Proclamation 3447 and it remains legal on February 3rd of 2024, so today is its 62nd Anniversary. Made legal by Proclamation 3447 on February 3rd in 1962, the U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE OF CUBA today is celebrating its 62nd ANNIVERSARY. Declassified U. S. documents revealed that the purpose of Proclamation 3447 was to starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cubans in Cuba to encourage them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government, but because that has not occurred it remains in effect 62 YEARS later. That, incredibly, is true although the image above shames the United States internationally, as does the outraged yearly vote of the nations around the world at the United Nations in New York. As of last month -- January in 2024 -- Cuba is celebrating the 64TH ANNIVERSARY of the Cuban Revolution's astouinding victory over the U.S./Mafia-backed BATISTA DICTATORSHIP, which occurred in January of 1959. And today -- February 3rd of 2024 -- Cuba is marking the 62nd ANNIVERSARY of the day on February 3r4 of 1962 when the United States legalized Proclamation 3447, which legalized the Embargo/Blockade on Cuba...which incredibly remains in effect till this day on February 3rd of 2024 with absolutely no end on the horizon. *&***********************&*
