The Deadly Cuba-Miami Gunfight!!!

 What Is Cuba Saying?

What is Miami Saying?

      Yes, yesterday -- February 25th, 2026 -- the Cuban Coast Guard killed four men in a boat approaching the island, and six other men in the heavily armed boat were injured. That much is undisputed but the rest will be likely disputed.

     Cuba's most notable journalist is Lazaro Manuel Alonso. Most Cubans believe what he tells them. Many others do too. Lazaro has over 306,000 followers on Facebook alone!! This week he has been telling Cubans about the unexplained number of fires that are roiling the island, with some believing that they involve ongoing terror attacks from nearby Miami.

     When Lazaro Manuel Alonso reported on this fire on Facebook this week, he said: "lhe fires in recent days are very worrying. This one, which occurred in Playa..." Thus, many Cubans were not totally surprised that yesterday -- February 25th, 2026 -- the Cuban Coast Guard got in a deadly gunfight with a heavily armed boat that Cuba believed was planning a terrorist attack on the island.

    Now today -- February 26th, 2026 -- the world is being told about yesterday's deadly gunfight on Cuba's northern coast just below Florida. It made the news despite other events that include major wars as well massive talks about other impending wars.

    In the U. S. the three legacy news networks -- NBC, CBS, and ABC -- still get about 20 million viewers at 6:30 PM each night. The graphic above shows how NBC News began its opening report on Cuba Kills Four On U. S. Boat. The top NBC News anchor is Cuban-American Tom Llamas who has reported extensively about President Trump's desire to orchestrate a regime in Cuba. Needless to say, the U. S. coverage of things like yesterday's Cuba-Miami gunfight will differ from how Cuban journalists such as Lazaro Manuel Alonso describe it. For example, at NBC News the Cuban-American anchor Tom Llamas depended on Cuban-American Jose Diaz-Balart to deliever the long report on the deadly gunfight yesterday off Cuba's coast.

     This was Jose Diaz-Balart yesterday delivering the opening NBC News report on the Cuban gunfight. The father of Jose Diaz-Balart was Rafael Diaz-Balart, a top Minister in the Batista dictatorship that was overthrown by the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959. Rafael fled to nearby Florida where he became a rich and powerful man advocating for the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba.

In 2005 at age 79 Rafael Diaz-Balart died in Florida.

       This photo shows Rafael Diaz-Balart flanked in Florida with his four sons, one of whom was born in Havana while the other three were born in Florida. Two of the sons --Lincoln and Mario -- became long-time very powerful U. S. Congressmen representing Miami in Washington; Rafael Jr. became a very rich banker; and, as mentioned, Jose became a top news anchor at NBC and Telemundo.

    The saga that chronicles the riveting connection of Rafael Diaz-Balart and Fidel Castro highlights the ongoing intrigue and fascination with US-Cuba relations, especially the Batista dictarship, the Cuban Revolution, and Revolutionary Cuba. Both Rafael and Fidel were born in 1926 in southeast Cuba in the town of Banes. In 1948 Fidel, who had been Cuba's Athlete of the Year, married Rafael's sister Mirta. Rafael and Fidel were Law School classmates at the University of Havana. But Rafael became a powerful Minister in the brutal Batista dictatorship; Fidel's Revolution ousted Batista, chasing Rafael to Florida where he helped create Little Havana in Miami as a rich and powerful colossal that has tried mightily since 1959 to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. Yes, it is true that Rafael died at age 79 in Florida in 2005 and Fidel died at age 90 in Havana in 2016. But their legacies still dominate things like yesterday's deadly gunfight just off Cuba's northern coast. 

May they both Rest in Peace!!

May the Cuban Revolution be remembered!!

The World Decries the Suffering of Cuba's People!!

 The UN  Still Blames The US!!

     This deeply concerned human rights expert at the United Nations, Marta Hurtado, has in late February of 2026 widely reported on the severe suffering of Cuba's 10 million people. She appealed to member UN nations to help the situation but think they are unwilling to go against the tightening sanctions levied by the U. S. government.

    In her long and detailed report on the grave suffering of the Cuban people, Marta Hurtado at times bowed her head and openly cried before she resumed her report. She seemed sadly concerned that so many people in neighboring nations seem to NOT care.

The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, does seem to care.

Even SPAIN has "sent some aid to Cuba."

But even Canada, which has helped Cubans in the past, but not now.

      U. S. President Donald Trump and his ultra-powerful Miami-born Secretary of State Marco Rubio appear to just be making Cuba "fail" to appease Miami Cubans.

      Miami's Maria Elvira Salazar is the latest in a LONG line of Miami Cubans that have saturated the U. S. Congress in Washington since 1959's victory by the Cuban Revolution over Miami's beloved Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista that Fidel Castro chased off the island.

Russia & China mostly just pay lip service to Cuba.

     Since Thomas Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers founded the United States 250 years in 1776, the United States has openly craved Cuba. As Mr. Jefferson famously said, "I have candidly confessed that I have looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of states." And now, as the U. S. is about to celebrate its 250th anniversary on July 4th in 2026, it appears that finally Little Havana Cubans in Miami, after 66+ years of wishes and trying, will soon wildly be able to celebrate their vastly changed Cuba.

     Since 1959 the Cubans in Miami have benefited from U. S. laws -- such as Helms-Burton -- that have massively enriched and empowered them while trying to starve Cubans in Cuba into submission. After 66+ years, Helms-Burton has clearly won.

The Cuba that Thomas Jefferson also craved.

At least, the EMBARGO will finally be "lifted."

February 10, 2026. US Finalizes Cuba Embargo:

      Today on February 10th in 2026 the news above probably heralds the end of the Cuban Revolution's rule of Cuba, an historic phenomenon that has existed since January 1st in 1959. The massive efforts by Miami and Washington for the past 67 years to create a new regime change in Cuba have finally strangled the revolution. Today's vital news from Cuba as listed below provide the pertinent details.

       Today on February 10th in 2026 the final strangulation of Cuba by Miami and Washington was spearheaded by the powerful Cuban-Americans that created Little Havana in Miami starting in January of 1959 and now epitomized by Carlos Gimenez, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Maria Salazar -- three members of Little Havana's ultra-powerful contingent in the United States Congress in Washington. For example, Gimenez was born in Havana in Cuba 72 years ago but he typically for Little Havana Cubans he got a Harvard education and then became the Mayor of Miami-Dade County from 2011-2020 and has been in the United States Congress in Washington since 2023. Such ultra-powerful Little Havana Cubans in Miami have easily helped steamroll U. S. policies related to Cuba since 1959 and now in February of 2026 it is apparent they, during Donald Trump's second presidential term, have dictated the demise of Revolutionary Cuba.

     In 2026 Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum was the only foreign leader that tried to defy U. S. President Donald Trump's tightened sanctions on Cuba.

       So Little Havana/Miami Cubans in the U. S. Congress such as Carlos Gimenez and Maria Elvira Salazar can tell President Trump what to do regarding Cuba.

The U. S. EMBARGO began in 1962.

The EMBARGO ends in 2016.
