Cubans know the Headlines; They Want to Talk.

 But....................!!!

     On May 4th in 2026 Cubans all over the island are awaiting to see what the Trump/Rubio-led United States will do regarding Washington's avowed determination to finally overthrow the pugnacious Cuban Revolution, which long ago in 1959 overthrew a dictator named Fulgencio Batista that the U. S. liked and that rich U. S. companies mightily loved. The crowded Havana waterfronts, assemblies, and ubiquitous images of independent icons Jose Marti and Fidel Castro, indicate that not all Cubans on the island relish a Miami-led Cuba even though a Batista-like "take over" would again bring money, tourism, jobs, and U. S. companies to the long-sanctioned island.

Miami Cubans have waited 67 years!!!

To Retake Cuba!!!

Trump-Rubio are DOING IT for them!!!

      But Cuba's most influential journalist Lazaro Manuel Alonso has over 315,000 followers on Facebook alone.  And, as noted above, he keeps his viewers, listeners, and readers up to date on whatever U. S. President Donald Trump says about Cuba. Thus, in this first week of May in 2026, Cubans are aware that the U. S. plans to "take over Cuba" as soon as the island's superpower neighbor declares victory in the Iran War.

      To start this month of May in 2026 crowds in Havana included 65-year-old Miguel Diaz-Canel and 94-year-old Raul Castro holding Cuban flags. Most Cubans are expecting the long-rumored and anticipated regime change in Cuba that would finally overthrow the Cuban Revolution, which has ruled the island since 1959.

     In additional to the US-Iran War that helps delay the regime change in Cuba, there are other factors that oppose any "military take over of Cuba." As shown above, those factors include the The U. S. Senate voting to "stop attack on Cuba" and the fact that most regional nations, including Latin American giants such as Spain, Brazil, and Mexico are firmly against United States plans to dominate Cuba...again.

     As April turned to May in 2026, and as headlines predict a U. S. "take over" of Cuba, one thing looms: Miami-born U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U. S. President Donald Trump HOLD ALL THE CARDS, as Rubio & Trump openly claim.

      But most of the world, including about 187 nations in the United Nations, for many decades have begged the United States to first end its EMBARGO/Blockade of Cuba. In his speech above, Brazil's President Lulu da Silva again pointed out that, "Trying for seven decades to execute a regime in Cuba is one thing, but trying for seven decades to starve the Cuban people is something else altogether different. That is a world shame." 

    Since the startling victory in 1959 of Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution over the US/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship, it is very hard to deny that Havana-born Cubans in Miami such as Carlos Geminez and lleana Ros-Lehtinlen and then Miami-born Cubans such as U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U. S. Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar have been allowed to dictate the USA's Cuban policies. Perhaps, in the new month of May in 2026, it is time for others to also have a voice, and that includes the latest generation of Cubans in Cuba who hugely disagree.

Miami-born Cubans like Rubio and Salazar are normally unopposed.

        Even the richest person in the world, Elon Musk, questions why the United States permits only viciously counter revolutionary Cuban-Americans such as Havana-born Carlos Gimenez and Miami-born Maria Elvira Salazar to dictate U. S. political and media policies when it pertains to Revolutionary Cuba. Indeed......."??WHY??" 

     Why, for example, does Miami and Washington pretend that Mothers in Cuba should not have any voice when the burden directly hits their homes ??? Even Rubio, Gimenez, and Salazar -- most people believe -- should agree that Mothers in Cuba have been punished enough by Miami and Washington in the past 67 years.

     The United States since February 23rd in 1903 has had an unwanted and very powerful Military Base that covers 45 square acres of plush Cuban land at Guantanamo Bay. And since February 23rd in 1903 it has shamed and scared Cubans.

     And to start this Month of May in 2026 many Cubans on the island looked skyward when they heard and saw what they were told was a "U. S. military drone." It surely could be conducting surveilance related to an attack but also has other capabilities such as firepower. But wary Cubans are merely left to just wonder??

Everyday Cubans gather to talk about drones, etc.

        Cuba's President since 2018, Miguel Diaz-Canel, has always liked to mingle with everyday Cubans, something he also did during his years as Education Minister.

     As Cuba's President, Miguel Diaz-Canel uses the Cuban media to inform the citizens that they should expect eminent "aggression of the United States against Cuba and not just the blockade that has targeted Cuban families for seven decades." 

      "Nadie nunca" means "no one never." When he has been recently interviewed by foreign networks, President Diaz-Canel has said that Rubio's U. S. State Department has told him to leave the island, a warning that Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro declined before he and his wife were captured during a bloody January 3rd military attack. Although he was born a few months after the 1959 victory of the Cuban Revolultion, Diaz-Canel worships Fidel Castro and considers himself a revolutionary too. He said, "a revolutionary never just leaves." 

This little Cuban girl asked "where" she might be safe?

    Cuba, with all its problems, still has many young, beautiful, smart, well-educated citizens such as...Lisbet Penin Matos, a talented and outspoken TV journalist.

     Popular as a TV news anchor and on social media, Lisbet Penin Matos this week freely on Facebook said, "When we're in explanatory mode"/"Cuando Adamos en modo explicativo." And, no, Lisbet did not need government approval to say that.

   Yes, Cuba's TV journalists such as Lisbet Penin Matos often use the Internet to monitor what TV anchors in Miami are saying about Cuba. And guess what? The Cuban journalists often think Miami journalists are, uh, less independent.

Miami is flush with rich stations and anchors.

Does Miami offer unbiased Cuban news??

      For example, the Miami media is not usually known for reports about Cuba such as the one above about the effects of the endless U. S. EMBARGO around Cuba.

A Cuban media perspective not from Miami!!

US-Cuba: Two Nations. Close Enemies.

     Today on Saturday, April 25th, 2026 the two top national and international Cuban Headlines are from USA Today, the USA's national newspaper, and the London-based Reuters News Agency. USA Today says that in the U. S. two-party political system that: "Democrats try to blunt Trump in Cuba -- before it's too late" and Reuters says that war-torn "Russia vows to help Cuba withstand US 'blackmail and threat.'" 

            But, actually, there is one journalist who regularly walks the streets of Miami, Tampa, New York City, Havana, etc., and reports fairly on even the most sticky US-Cuban issues, both historic and topical. Her name is Liz Oliva Hernandez.

      In the superpower United States the media since 1959, the year the Cuban Revolution overthrew the U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista, has almost only published the perspectives of anti-revolutionary Cubans who created the rich and politically powerful neighborhood in Miami  known as Little Havana. To this day in late April of 2026 well-known journalists from the Miami Herald, Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, etc., grossly distort US-Cuba Relations to massively favor Little Havana Miami Cubans. But Liz Oliva Fernandez spends much time with everyday Cuban families in Cuba and wants their views known also!!

     Now through five Episodes of "The War On Cuba, which are available to the world on YouTube, Liz has studied the history as well as the topicality of US-Cuban Relations. And she clearly thinks the perspectives of everyday Cuban women in Cuba for the generations since 1959 have not deserved to be treated so terribly, especially by its superpower northern neighbor that benefited magnificently during the brutal Batista dictatorship in the 1950s prior to the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

Above are peasant families in Batista's Cuba.

Above were Cuba mothers marching in Batista's murderous Cuba.

Above is an ad showing the U. S. love for Batista's Cuba.

      Since 1959 all U. S. Presidents, including Donald Trump, have been forced to submit to the Cubans in Little Havana in the heart of Miami in Florida.

    While Little Havana Cubans in Miami dictate much of the U. S. Cuban policies and almost all of the media's Cuban coverage, Liz Olivo Hernandez spends much of her time interviewing Cuban women in Cuba who also want to have a voice!!!

     By far the most powerful Cuban/Cuban-American in the history of Florida was Mas Canosa. He was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1939.

    After the triumph of the Cuban Revolution over Batista in January of 1959, Mas Canosa emerged as easily the richest and most powerful Cuban-American in the United States, not just in Florida. He founded the Cuban American National Foundation that to this day dictates Little Havana-type laws that still rule US-Cuba Relations, now in the closing days in April of 2026. He founded Mas Tec, the massive U. S. company that made him a billionaire. Although he died of lung cancer in Coral Gables in 1997, Mas Canosa will always remain the all-time most powerful and most influential Cuban-American, even if someone like the current Miami-born U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio becomes the President of the United States in 2028.

     In America's two-party political system, Mas Canosa told Republican Presidents such as Ronald Reagon and Democratic Presidents such as Bill Clinton what to do in regards to Revolutionary Cuba. And Canosa also had the same power with the Congress of the United States. For sure, if the U. S. media has not informed you in the past seven decades how much influence Mas Canosa had over both the Republican and Democratic political parties, then you have simply been conveniently lied to.

   FOR EXAMPLE............Little Havana Cubans love the U. S. economic Embargo/Blockade of Cuba that has existed since 1962 even though most Americans and most nations in the world have wanted it ended for the past seven decades!!

       The history of the U. S. EMBARGO/Blockade recalls that President John Kennedy was coerced into signing it into law via Proclamation 3447 on February 3rd in 1962. Before he signed the bill he ordered his aide Pierre Salinger to order a large box of his favorite Cuban cigars. Only after the cigars arrived did JFK make Proclamation 3447 legal. OF COURSE, history also tells us that before his presidency ended with his assassination in Dallas on November 22nd in 1963, President Kennedy drastically changed his mind about the EMBARGO/Blockade and many other U. S. policies regarding Cuba. One day, prior to his assassination, an exasperated JFK walked into the Oval Office at the White House and loudly proclaimed, "IF I COULD I WOULD BLOW THE CIA INTO SMITHERINES!!" 

     The reason we know the truth about President John Kennedy's very historic relations with Cuba is the fact that JFK had five top aides that were notable journalists or historians, including Pierre Salinger. After the JFK assassination in Dallas, those five insightful men wrote books about their time with the murdered President. After the dastardly event, Pierre Salinger spent time in Paris as the journalist for ABC News.
