Is This Raul Castro's "Last Hour."

Maybe, Maybe Not!! 

      Many headlines are now saying that this is now Raul Castro's "Last Hour" and that he may not even be around to celebrate his 95th birthday on June 3rd, 2026.

      But today in Havana Cuba's great photographer Molina took this photo of President Miguel Diaz-Canel and Raul Castro as they tried to show the Cuban people that "revolutionaries sometimes die fighting but they always fight." 

     Molina tonight also posted these two photos to show that the little Cuban army is ready to fight "and ready to die if necessary to make sure that Raul Castro makes its to his 95th birthday and that he never sees the inside of a U. S. prison or a Miami courtroom."

     Today Miami-born Marco Rubio, the powerful U. S. Secretary of State, was asked the above very pertinent question: "How do you intend to get Raul Castro to the U. S." after he has been indicted and charged by the U. S. with four murders that occurred in the Caribbean Sea thirty years ago, in 1996. Rubio said he wasn't about to let the media know how that will happen but he said he "doubted" the elederly Raul Castro would turn himself in to face trail in a U. S. courtroom.

      But Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel today told the Cuban people that the "lies from Miami since 1959 have been consistent and always unquestioned in the United States. Whatever really happened in the waters near Havana in February of 1996 shamed Miami and the U. S., not Cuba nor Raul. We will answer questions to that but not in a biased Miami court. But, as the unbiased know, we have U. S. State Department written records that reveal what took place before and after the airplane shootdowns." 

     For sure, the HISTORY and GEOGRAPHY between the United States and its Caribbean neighbor Cuba will collide before or shortly after Raul Castro's 95th birthday that is set to be celebrated in Havana in a few days, on June 3rd. Of course, Marco Rubio and the ultra-powerful and extremely influential Cuban-Americans in Miami plan to end decades of cherished dreams by at least finally making the last of the Castro Brothers pay dearly for their resounding Cuban Revolution that overthrew the brutal, U.S.-backed, and Mafia-riddled Batista dictatorship way back on January 1st in 1959. Even as the U. S. is also mired with trying to end two massive other Wars in faraway Ukraine and Iran, overthrowing the nearby and very pugnacious Cuban Revolution has never been forgotten, expecially in Miami!!

Will Miami-born Rubio Treat Raul Castro Fairly??

      Today on May 21st in 2026 it was 85 degrees and windy in Miami when the city's superstar Marco Rubio, the USA's powerful Secretary of State, stopped for an interview in which he told Miami's TV-10 News these words: "The likelihood of a Cuba-US deal is not high."

      So, to the delight of of his fellow Cuban-Americans who have ruled Little Havana in Miami since 1959, plans appear on pace for Raul Castro, who turns 95 years old on June 3rd, to be captured and put on trial in Miami. He will be charged in the deaths of four "Brothers to the Rescue" flyers who were in two small Miami planes that Cuba shot down thirty years ago, in 1996. Miami, the U. S. government, and the U. S. media have always maintained that the two planes, and one other that turned around and returned safely to Miami, were merely rescuing Cubans in the sea as they tried to reach Florida. Cuba has always maintained the Miami planes, led by a famed counter-revolutionary in Miami, were on their way to harass or harm Cubans as they had done previously with low-level flights that dropped leaflets/debris that scared Havana citizens. Moreover, Cuba said it had begged the U. S. State Department to stop the flights or Cuba itself would be forced to do something about it. Trials in Florida have resulted in many millions of dollars being awarded to Miami Cubans and the shootdowns have also resulted in the famed Helms-Burton Act and other laws that have for decades enriched Miami Cubans while devastating Cubans in Cuba.

      Born 85 years ago in Santiago de Cuba, Jose Basulto is known as a CIA-trained Cuban with a drastic reputation as a fierce counter-revolutionary/anti-Castro militant...even before the Cuban Revolution defeated Dictator Batista on January 1st in 1959. Once he settled in Miami Basulto founded Brothers to the Rescue, which before and after the famed shootdowns in 1996 was well-funded with the "rescue planes" that flew in the Caribbean Sea between Miami and Havana. A beloved hero in Miami, Basulto's views are generally never questioned in Miami or in the U. S., including by the U. S. media. But some historians, and at least one persistent journalist, do insist that there indeed are two sides to the Brothers to the Rescue saga.

      The tireless Liz Oliva Hernandez has spent many years in the U. S. and especially in Cuba researching and reporting daily and producing five "The War On Cuba" documentaries that are featured on YouTube and elsewhere. Liz wonders if Miami's U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be fair to Raul Castro if the elderly revolutionary icon ever appears in a Miami courtroom. Below are Liz's beliefs:

      In other words, the diligent journalist Liz Oliva Hernandez -- as you can see above -- and others like her -- believe that Miami courtrooms should allow Cuba to sue known Miami counter-revolutionaries such as the infamous Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch who "lived freely in Miami until their deaths."

So Yes???????

Would Raul Castro receive fairness in Rubio's Miami?

US/Miami Will Try Raul Castro for Murder!!

 Would Miami Be Fair To Raul?

      Today on May 20th in 2026 in the heart of Little Havana in Miami Florida U. S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, indicted Cuba's revolutionary icon Raul Castro for murder with the trial set to be held in Little Havana in Miami Florida. In a lavish news conference that was televised live across the United States, Blanche said he expects Raul Castro to agree to that trial or that he will be there "by other means." 

       In just a few days, on June 3rd in 2026, Raul Castro will turn 95 years old. Cubans in Miami have targeted Raul Castro and his brother Fidel Castro since January of 1959 when their Cuban Revolution overthrew the US/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship on the Caribbean's largest island that is just 90 miles south of Florida. In 2016 Fidel died peacefully at age 90 in Havana after surviving a world-record of FAILED assassination attempts. Now as Raul is about to celebrate his 95th birthday, Cubans in Miami Florida this is the Perfect Storm, the perfect time, to seek its revenge on the last living revoltuionary brother...after missing out on getting Fidel.

       Now, of course, Donald Trump is the President of the United States. As Raul Castro was being indicted in Miami, President Trump said, "We're there to help." Of course, the U. S. media never asks him about his supposed "help" for the Cuban people. Since 1962 the U. S. has had an economic Embargo/Blockade surrounding Cuba designed to "starve, deprive, and make miserable" the Cubans on the island supposedly to induce them to rise up and overthrow their own revolutionary government. It, amazingly, has not been overthrown but President Trump has severely tightened the Embargo/Blockade, which he says is, of course, to "help" the Cuban people. Of course, the rest of the world outside Miami Florida is well aware that in 2026 that the Cubans in Cuba are facing drastic food and medical shortages, drastic island-wide power blackouts, and other drastic deprivations.

      Of course, the Perfect Storm for Miami  Florida to finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba came when President Trump appointed Marco Rubio as the ultra-powerful Secretary of State in the United States. Born 54 years ago in Miami Florida, the persistent Marco Rubio has spent his entire adult life trying to overthrow the Cuban Revolution. Now he has a total chance to do that.

        Today on May 20th in 2026 the headlines, as shown above, indicate that Washington on behalf of Miami Florida will have an easy time in finally overthrowing the Cuban Revolution. Moreover, the headlines today indicate that it will be easy for Washington/Miami Florida to capture Raul Castro and try him for murder in Miami Florida. But, however, that might not be as easy as the headlines suggest.

     Washington/Miami Florida loved the Batista dictatorship in Cuba but since January of 1959 they have hated Castro's Revolutionary Cuba. Since 1959 Washington/Miami Florida have told the American people that the good Cubans are in Miami and the bad Cubans are in Cuba. That, of course, is not exactly the truth...and even Code Pink's Cuban stats shown above are also not exactly the truth.

And so tomorrow at 5 PM I will

continue this article at that time.

US Wants Castro Legacy Wiped From Cuba!!

 But it could be a hard Problem!!

     This Joe Raedle/Getty Images photo shows Raul Castro speaking this week in Havana. He turns 95 years old in a few days -- on June 3, 2026. Tomorrow -- on May 20, 2026 -- he will be indicted by the United States for murder regarding a controversial event thirty years in which Cuba shot down two small Miami-based airplanes in the Caribbean Sea, killing four Miami residents. The counter revolutionary Cubans in Miami have longed for Raul Castro's indictment and capture every day since 1996. For most Cubans in Cuba, that is probably a bridge too far and any such attempt to indict or capture Raul Castro will likely result in a bloody conflict as well as longterm resistence to whatever the Trump-Rubio regime change in Cuba entails. Contrary to what the American people have been told since 1959, the Cuban Revolution and the Castro Brothers -- Fidel and Raul have had fierce support in Cuba since 1953 when the Castro brothers started their Revolution with the very unsuccessful attack on Dictator Batista's Moncada Army Barracks in Santiago de Cuba. In 2016 in Havana Fidel Castro died of old age peacefully at age 90. Most Cubans do not want Miami to disturb their sacred Fidel Castro tomb. And most Cubans in Cuba do not wanr Raul Castro to be indicted or captured by the U. S. just prior to his 95th birthday. Every Cuban in Cuba wants a better, non-sanctioned life. But there are dictates from Miami that they will resist. And indicting or capturing Raul Castro is simply a Bridge Too Far for most Cubans in Cuba.

    This Yamil Lage/AFP/Getty Images photo shows Raul Castro and his beloved grandson Raul Gullermo Rodriguez Castro, known on the island as "Raulito" and also known as Raul's shadow. For over two decades, since he was a teenager, Raulito has been Raul's primary bodyguard and closest companion. It is also known that in April and May in 2026 that top U. S. negotiators have spoken directly with Raulito about the impending regime change in Cuba.

     This afternoon on May 19th in 2026 above are two blaring headlines from Fox News, one saying "TRUMP WEIGHS STRIKES AGAINST CUBA" and the other saying "TRUMP: CONFIDENT ON REACHING DEAL WITH CUBA."

     Since 2018 Miguel Diaz-Canel has been Cuba's President and before that he was the island's very popular Education Minister. Born a few months after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, the 65-year-old Diaz-Canel worships the Revolution and the Castro Brothers. In regime change negotiations with the U. S. it is known Diaz-Canel was told to leave the island for good or face the fate that befell Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, who is now in a federal U. S. prison in New York awaiting trial. But Diaz-Canel has steadfastly told the U. S. he will not leave and that, if necessary, he will "fight to the end." In the quotation shown above this week Diaz-Canel was reminding the U. S. that further negotiations will be useless IF U. S. sanctions such as the endless Blockade/Embargo are not lifted.

    And meanwhile, now in late May of 2026, Cuba is trying to let the world know that the Miami-born Marco Rubio, now the ultra-powerful U. S. Secretary of State, has lied about offering $100,000,000 in "humanitarian aid to Cuba." On his recent visit to Rome to visit Pope Leo, Cuba was unhappy that Rubio heralded the susposed financial help to Cuba's families. As far as Cuba is concerned all such offers from the U. S. goes to dissidents and not to the Cuban government because the U. S. claims the "regime" would never "distribute it" to the Cuban people.

     And meantime, today's Cuban Headlines on May 19th in 2026 have dire warnings about a possible "bloodbath" in Cuba if cooler heads to not prevail.
