Cuba Talks Reforms as Many Nations Offer Help!!

 

      Cuba's President since 2018, Miguel Diaz-Canel, is shown above telling the Cuban people that the island is preparing to confromt any "invasion or attack" by the United States but that "I want to announce new economic reforms that we need internally, reforms that our best friends are helping us establish to create and make permanent. As you know, only the United States is our enemy and we must still live with that fact." 

    The latest country to deny the U. S. economic embargo/blockade this week was Colombia which sent the above ship into Havana Harbor filled with 100 tons of food, medicine, and other dire supplies that the Cuban people need. And above Cuban President Diaz-Canel expressed his "Profound appreciation to President Gustavo Petro and all the people of Colombia for their humanity toward the noble Cuban people." But also in this crucial summer of 2026 other countries are similarly coming to Cuba's aid, including Mexico, China, Vietnam, Russia, Uruguay, Spain, Italy, etc.

       Responding to suggestions from friendly nations, Cuba in June of 2026 has devised reforms that hopefully will boost its almost destitute economy. Above Cuba was expanding on its promise to offer and accept both foreign and domestic investments in economic enterprises such as hotels. Above, to help increase tourism in the face of the U. S. embargo-blockade-sanctions, Cuba is newly offering "free rooms for children up to twelve years old." Cuba is now specifically welcoming rich Cubans living in other countries to now invest in Cuba's new economic policies.

       Also starting in mid-June in 2026 Cuba began putting ads on the internet such as "Love Varadero" to remind prospective tourists that, back when the U. S. blockade was permitting some tourists to the island, that Varadero Beach, which is just a few miles south of Florida, was voted "The Best Beach in the World" by international tourists.

       Of course, in June of 2026, Cuba still remembers back to the 1950s when the United States companies made vast fortunes promoting tourism to top attactions such as Varadero when the U. S. and its top companies had cozy deals with dictator Fulgencio Batista even when everyday Cubans didn't benefit from the gigantic financial windfalls, a situation that created the rise of a revolution that doomed Batista and all those lucratice kickbacks he was getting from the U. S.

      Back in the 1950s and now to this very day in 2026 the United States denied-denies that the majority of Cubans on the island supported the Castro brothers who started and then led the revolution to its astounding victory on January 1st in 1959. But, without doubt, it was support from the majority of everyday Cubans, the peasants, that made it possible for the Castro brothers to not only win their extremely long-shot revolution but to then even more amazingly lead Revolutionary Cuba from 1959 till at least June of 2026. Fidel Castro died in Havana at age 90 in 2016 and Raul Castro this month of June 2026 has turned 95 years of age  in Havana -- just a few days after the U. S. on behalf of Little Havana Cubans in Miami loudly charged Raul with four counts of murder regarding an incident in the Caribbean Sea between Miami and Havana that happened thirty years ago. For sure, it is well known that Fidel somehow literally survived hundreds of assassination attempts. But since 2025 Miami-born Marco Rubio has been President Trump's ultra-powerful Secretary of State, and that fact has greatly changed the equations between the U. S. and Cuba as well as the forever war between Little Havana Cubans in Miami against the Revolutionary Cubans in Havana.

Oh well, old questions & new questions!! 

But from 1953 till 2026 the Excitement has been Historic!!

Many Cubans Will Defend Raul Castro!!

That includes Silvio Rodriguez.

       Millions of people consider Silvio Rodrigez the greatest Latin American singer-guitarist-songwriter of all-time. Now 79-years-old, he was born on November 29th in 1946 just outside Havana and still lives in Cuba's capital city. Like most Cubans in Cuba, Silvio thinks that the counter-revolutionary Cubans in Miami have become rich and politically powerful by lying about things such as the Cuban Revolution, which shocked the world by overthrowing dictator Batista in 1959, and the U. S EMBARGO, which was first imposed on the island in 1962 and in the decades since then it has increasingly been tightened, especially since Miami-born Marco Rubio became President Donald Trump's powerful Secretary of State starting in 2025. As shown above, to this day in June of 2026 Silvio Rodriguez staunchly believes "The Embargo is the largest and longest blockade in history that has ever been imposed on any small nation by any much larger nation." And Silvio says the blockade is "cruel and inhumane." 

      Since the 1950s Silvio Rodriguez knew all about the US/Mafia-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. And on January 1st in 1959 Silvio rejoiced when his favorite rebel Fidel Castro led the Cuban Revolution's overthrow of Batista.

       And from 1959 till the day Fidel Castro died in 2016 at age 90 in Havana, Silvio Rodriguez was a strong supporter of Fidel's Cuba and, even during his beloved muscial concerts in Cuba and elsewhere, Silvio bravely pronounced his love for Fidel while also denouncing the U. S. assaults on the island, such as the blockade, that were having acutely drastic effects on the daily lives of everyday Cubans.

     As revealed each year for decades, even by a yearly vote in the UN, most of the 8 billion+ people in the world strongly denounce the "collective punishing" meted out to everyday Cubans by U. S. sanctions such as the Embargo that began in 1967. Targeting leaders is one thing; but continuing to target masses of civilians decade-after-decade is something totally different, as mentioned by the above X/Twitter post today.

        And now in this summer of 2026 legendary entertainer Silvio Rodriguez famously on Cuban TV dusted off his AKM rifle and indicated he was willing to die to "defend the homeland" against any affack. He believes that the U. S., after there is a pause in the US-Iran War, will attempt to arrest the now 95-year-old Raul Castro for four murders that happened in 1996 in the Caribbean Sea between Miami and Havana.

     The beloved Silvio Rodriguez is not the only Cuban willing to defend Raul Castro at all costs. The President of Cuba since 2018, Miguel Diaz-Canel, and the incomparable athlete/wreslter Mijean Lopez, are also among the milions of Cubans ready to defend Raul Castro, Cuba's last living revolutionary icon. {Mijean Lopez is the only person that has ever won Five Gold Medals in five different Olympics}.

Powerful Little Havana/Miami Cubans Salazar and Rubio.

      The images/photos above illustrate that the Cuban-Americans in Little Havana Miami are the only ones dictating USA's regime-chnage in Cuba and the only ones, since 1959, that have dictated U. S. laws such as the EMBARGO that started in 1962, the Helms-Burton Act that started in 1996, etc, that have drastically enriched and empowered Cubans in Miami while drastically harming generations of Cubans in Cuba. While starving, depriving, and making miserable the Cubans in Cuba, Cubans in Miami who were born in Cuba and then became multi-billionaires in Miami such as billionaire Mas Canosa, the billionaire Fanjul brothers, etc., etc. , etc.

A Raul Castro rally in Havana -- June of 2026.

     Now 55 years old and mentored in Little Havana/Miami, Marco Rubio all of his life has dreamed of overthrowing the Cuban Revolution. That includes his time in the Florida legislature, then in the U. S. Senate, and now since 2025 as America's ultra-powerful Secretary of State, Rubio has always lamented the fact that "Revolutionary Cuba is just 90 miles off the coast of the United States."  Beyond doubt, he now has the power to finally create the regime change he has long graved on the nearby island.

Cuba Negotiates With Rubio!!

 But...Rubio holds the cards.

    Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel indeed is negotiating with U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's team. In this first week of June of 2026 he is, for example, promising to allow ordinary Cubans to "invest in and help administer 15 of Cuba's 34 hotels that the government controls." The two Spanish hotel giants, Melia and Iberostar, have had over forty 4-star and 5-star hotels on the island but tourism, massively sanctioned/embargoed by the United States, has for decades restricted visitors -- much unlike like it was in the 1950s, prior to the 1959 Cuban Revolution, when the United States and its prime companies wildly promoted tourism to Cuba during the Batista dictatorship. Now faced with a military attack/regime change on his island by the United States, President Diaz-Canel even promises the U. S. that, like in the days of Batista long ago, U. S. intersts will now be allowed to invest in Cuba's hotels and other businesses that the U. S now says are only run by the Cuba's military leaders.

     Of course, since 1959 Cuban-Americans in Miami/Little Havana -- such as current U. S Congressional members Jimenez, Salazar, and Diaz-Balart shown above -- have dictated the extreme hardline U. S. Cuban policies since 1959.

      If there is a military option that creates the regime change in Cuban, the above generals -- Roberto Legra and Francis L. Donovan -- will be prime competitors. General Legra leads Cuba's defense forces while General Donovan heads the U. S. Southern Command forces. In fact, a few days ago these two men met face-to-face just outside the U. S. Military Base that has, to Cuba's chagrin, been based on Cuba's Guantanamo Bay since 1903. It is assumed that Donovan warned Legra that Cuban resistence would be useless. After all, the U. S. has massive superpower military assets at nearby military bases at Guantanamo in, all over Florida, Puerto Rico, and even in and beneath the Caribbean Sea where the U. S. has a huge aircraft carrier atop the water and lethal submarines lurking under the water.

      Prime Cuban expert and author Helen Yaffe -- a notable Professor at the University of Glaskow in the UK, and many others have increased their support for Cubans on the island in 2026. But they are over-powered by later generations of Miami Cubans reared by Cubans who flocked to Miami following the victorious anti-Batista Cuban Revolution in 1959. Now that Miami's Marco Rubio is the ultra-powerful U. S. Secretary of State, Revolutionary Cuba is surely doomed...with the only question when, not if. The when apparently arrives after Rubio and the U. S. exit some of its Iran War priorities in the faraway Middle East.

      As U. S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio -- who was born in Miami 55 years ago to Cuban-American parents who fled Revolutionary Cuba c -- incessantly repeats that the U. S. economic EMBARGO/Blockade of Cuba, which started way back in 1962, has had no affect on the fact that Cubans in Cuba are facing food shortages, medical shortages, constant deprivations, island-wide energy blackouts, etc. Rubio, as shown above, loudly claims that all of Cuba's devastating economic problems are because of its corrupt and incompetent Revolutionary leaders. 

     Secretary of State Marco Rubio also repeatedly states that Cuba "poses a national security threat to the United States." Not many people around the world believe that but Rubio says that the American people do or will believe it. That belief, of course, supposedly justifies the impending regime change in Cuba.

     Cuba is blessed with some of the world's best tourist attractions, such as Varadero Beach that is just a few miles south of Key West, Florida. But since 1962 in Revolutionary Cuba the U. S. EMBARGO/Blockade has drastically restricted foreign visitors to Cuba, including to incomparable attractions such as Varadero.

     But GUESS what? Back in the 1950s during the brutal Batista dictatorship ads like the one above wildly saturated the United States promoting tourism to Varadero and other top Cuban attractions. That was when Batista, the Mafia, and major U. S. companies and businessmen were making fortunes because of vast tourism that flocked to Cuba!! It is presumed that, with Miami Cubans again in control of Cuba, tourism and other business will return to Cuba, and it is hoped ordinary Cubans on the island will also benefit.

     The last living icon from Cuba's 1959 victory in the Cuban Revolution, Raul Castro, celebrated his 95th BIRTHDAY on June 3rd, 2026. {His brother Fidel died in Havana in 2016 at age 90}. But also during this first week of June in 2026 the U. S. overshadowed that major Raul Castro birthday in Cuba by indicting Raul Castro for four deaths of Miami Cuban-Americans that took place during a controversial Miami-Havana confrontation in the  Caribbean Sea thirty years ago,

     Now Marco Rubio, Miami's ultra-powerful hero, is busy explaining why Raul Castro must finally face "justice" in a Miami {or some other U. S.} courtroom. Also, as shown above, Rubio is being asked: "How do you intend to get Raul Castro to U. S. after the historic indictmen." Many journalists consider that a good question for Marco Rubio.

      Meanwhile, today on June 6th in 2026 the London-based Reuters News Agency reports that Raul Castro headlined an event in Havana today.

Now 95 years old, Raul Castro!!

Raul & President Miguel June 6, 2026.
