cubaninsider: BULLETIN: It's Still Fidel's Cuba:

A Known Fact on the Island;

Despite the USA Narrative!!
{Tuesday, November 27th, 2018}

Yesterday was November 26th, 2018. It marked the second anniversary of the death of Fidel Castro at age 90. It was a special day on the island of Cuba...a sad day of mourning but also a celebratory day concerning the revolutionary life that he led. Although Fidel's younger brother and fellow revolutionary Raul is still alive and Cuba now has a non-Castro as its new President, it is still Fidel's Cuba and that will remain so, and even grow in the realm of reality...at least until and if some foreign-based coup changes the political dynamic on the island. While the Cuban narrative in the United States of America will disagree with that assessment, it should be remembered that the U. S. assessments of Fidel Castro have been faulty since 1952 and, particularly, since 1959. If that were not so, there would never have been a Cuban Revolution that overthrew the U.S.-backed Batista dictatorship and, after that momentous event, faulty U.S.-Batistiano-Mafiosi assessments of Fidel Castro have accounted for another momentous event -- the amazing longevity of Revolutionary Cuba. The photo above attests to those basic facts as well as the continued faulty appraisals of Fidel Castro and his legacy. The young Cuban woman paying homage at Fidel Castro's tomb is Rosy Amaro Perez. Well-educated, extremely smart, and a brilliant broadcast journalist, Rosy put this photo on her Facebook page with a caption: "Vives dentro de mi y te guardo a mi manera." {"You live inside me and I keep you my way."}. If a coup or some other factor overthrows Cuba's revolutionary government, a second Fidel Castro-inspired REVOLUTION would commence immediately...and fight to the death to restore it. Yes, faulty USA assessments...sprinkled with self-serving lies...are one thing but the photo above speaks volumes of truths on the island itself. Rosy is not alone in her feeling. She is, in fact, among a strong majority on the island who worship Fidel Castro.

A brilliant broadcast journalist, Rosy Amaro Perez has visited the great capitals of Europe and she has close relatives living in Florida, Virginia, Arizona, etc. But she is a Cuban-Cuban, not an American-Cuban. If there were not millions more like her on the island, the Cuban-American anti-Castro extremists headquartered in the Little Havana section of Miami since 1959 would have regained control of Cuba many decades ago. After all, being in almost total control of both America's Cuban policies and America's Cuban narratives gives Little Havana what, on the surface, is seemingly overwhelming advantages over Havana...and that's been the case for over six decades. Therefore, there must be some explanation for Revolutionary Cuba's longevity...and the Cuban narrative in the U. S. dictated by anti-Cuban extremists is built on lies regarding that phenomenon. But, I believe, Rosy Amaro Perez explained it with her sentence that described her visit to Fidel Castro's tomb: "You live inside me and I keep you my way." From 1952 till 1959 Americans were urged to flock to Cuba to partake in the rampant gambling, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other Mafia-like vices that permeated the island. From 1959 till today Americans have been the only people in the world discouraged from visiting Cuba, with Batistiano-based congressional laws actually making such visits illegal except under special circumstances. But those of us who have been to the island are not surprised that Rosy Amaro Perez worships Fidel Castro and would fight a revolutionary death to defend his legacy.

Significantly, Rosy Amaro Perez has a precocious and beautiful lookalike daughter. Rosy has the wherewithal to permanently take her beloved child to any capital city in Europe or America but she believes her Mariana is best loved, best protected, and by far the safest and happiest living in Havana. I am well aware that Americans do not understand that reasoning, and I fully know that most Americans believe Rosy is misguided or brain-washed; but she is neither of those things. A brilliant journalist and a devoted mother, she knows all about Revolutionary Cuba and she knows all about what preceded Revolutionary Cuba -- relentless Mafia-style theft and brutality.

From 1952-1959 the top leaders of the U.S.-based Mafia ruled Cuba with brutal force and extreme greed, a process supported by the United States because rich U. S. individuals and companies were allowed to also partake in the extreme thievery while pretending to ignore the extreme brutality heaped upon the majority peasants. Since 1959, with the retreat of the top leaders to U. S. soil, Americans have been propagandized to believe the basic truth depicted above is a lie. It is not. AND, BELIEVE ME, if it were a lie the longevity of Revolutionary Cuba would have ended...internally and externally...MANY DECADES AGO!!

The first mistake Batista, the Mafia, and the United States made in Cuba in the 1950s was to not at least throw some crubs to the majority peasants on the island. While the wholesale rape and robbery of Cuba proceeded with unabated brutality and thievery, the photo above illustrates how the majority peasants were left with nothing -- no education, no health benefits, and...no nothing. That was a stupid mistake by the thieves in charge of Cuba in the 1950s.

But the biggest mistake BY FAR made in Cuba in the 1950s by Batista, the Mafia, and the United States of America is, undeniably, depicted by the photo above. When the majority peasants and their supporters complained about the treatment they were receiving, the answer by Batista was to send out goons to murder peasant children as a warning for the peasant mothers and fathers not to resist. Instead, brave mothers marched in the streets in numbers far too large and far too brave to be mowed down by Batista's machine-gunners. Thus, a Revolution was born, one that would do the impossible -- which was to overthrow a powerful dictator backed by the Mafia, the strongest criminal organization in the world, and by the USA, the strongest nation in the world. The woman second from the left in the white blouse and sunglasses was the mother of little Willie Soler. With three other boys, Willie was murdered by Batista's goons and their bodies left in an abandoned warehouse as a warning to their parents to stop resisting. Willie's mother and thousands of others across the island didn't heed those warnings, and their marches created the Revolution. Americans, of course, are not supposed to comprehend all that...and Americans even today are not supposed to Google to ascertain why there is an important hospital in Cuba today that is named the William Soler Children's Hospital. Of course, if the well-funded Counter Revolutionaries in the USA today can deny either the authenticity or the significance of the two black-and-white photos directly above, I will be the first to admit that they have at least one legitimate point, but I simply don't believe they can deny the absolute and well-documented truth.

The most important person in Batista's Cuba who reacted to the Mother's Marches was a doctor's daughter named Celia Sanchez. Many experts on the Cuban Revolution, including Fidel Castro, considered/consider Celia the most important anti-Batista rebel -- as a guerrilla fighter for sure but most importantly as the key recruiter of rebels and supplies that could take on Batista's powerful Mafia-backed and USA-backed forces. After her revolution triumphed on January 1, 1959, Celia, with the full support of Fidel Castro, was the prime decision-maker on the island right up till the day -- Jan. 11, 1980 -- she died at age 59 of cancer. In the early days of Revolutionary Cuba, therefore, it was Celia who famously issued the two quotations that best summed up her Revolution: {1} "The Batistianos will never regain control of Cuba as long as I live or as long as Fidel lives;" and, {2} "We rebels get far too much credit for winning the revolution...our enemies deserve most of the credit, for being greedy cowards and idiots." I've been to Cuba {legally} to research Celia Sanchez and, of her two most famous and definitive quotations, I tend to favor the first one depicted above. But others, including The Woman Project.org, favor the second one.

It was the Mother's Marches that inspired Celia Sanchez to become the greatest female revolutionary in all of history.

And it was, in fact, Celia Sanchez who inspired the famous revolutionary men whose fame tied to the Cuban Revolution will be indelible forever. Take for example the photo in the lower-left of the above montage; the London-based BBC, which actually has the freedom to report fairly about the Cuban Revolution, says this photo reflects the very first telescopic rifle Celia Sanchez gave Fidel Castro the day he joined her revolution in the foothills of the Sierra Maestra Mountains on the far southeastern tip of Cuba in late November, 1956.

But Celia Sanchez long before she ever laid eyes on Fidel, or Che, or Raul, or Camilo, etc., was the incomparable guerrilla fighter and the vital recruiter of rebels and supplies that sustained and fueled her Revolution. So Cuba's renowned historian Pedro Alvarez Tabio summed up the Cuban Revolution best with these words: "If Batista had manged to kill Celia Sanchez anytime between 1953 and 1957, there would have been no viable Cuban Revolution...and no revolution for Fidel and Che to join." And so...while the Mother's Marches inspired Celia Sanchez and Celia Sanchez inspired Fidel Castro, the longevity of Revolutionary Cuba today, after both Celia and Fidel have died, depends...I believe...on a strong cadre of young-adult Cuban women inspired by both Celia and Fidel. And that Cuban cadre today...I believe...is epitomized by Rosy Amaro Perez.

Above is a photo of Rosy Amaro Perez that was taken this week -- on November 26, 2018 -- in Havana. She is abundantly aware that day was the second anniversary of the death of Fidel Castro at age 90. All this week, if Cuba is mentioned at all in the United States, Americans will be reminded that everything about Revolutionary Cuba is bad and everything about the Batista-Mafia dictatorship that preceded it was good and that the Batistiano dictating of America's Cuban policies and narratives since 1959 is the absolute truth. As a democracy loving American, I believe that lie shames America far more than it shames Cuba. I believe that any American who loves America should have the guts and the patriotism to ask...or at least consider if you are not in a position to ask... WHY Rosy Amaro Perez thinks as she does. After all, Rosy has lived all of her life in Revolutionary Cuba and so have her mother Carmen and her daughter Mariana.

Americans are programmed not to believe it, but young Cuban females in Cuba...like Rosy Amaro Perez and like the young women above...are the most ardent worshippers of Fidel Castro, a man who did not want a cult following and insisted that no statues of him should ever be built in Cuba and no roads or other edifices ever named for him. But these young women are writing on their faces "Yo soy Fidel" -- "I am Fidel." And, no...there are no Cuban soldiers holding guns on them and they don't need outside influence to express their worship of Fidel Castro on their faces.

Two years after Fidel Castro's death at age 90, "YO SOY FIDEL" on the island means "I AM FIDEL." I don't know what it means in Little Havana, Florida, but I do know what it means in Big Havana, Cuba. It means that...if Fidel's revolution is overturned, another revolution will immediately start to reinstall it.

Yes, Rosy Amaro Perez...has a right to pay homage to Fidel on the second anniversary of his death at age 90. That's because the extremely smart and well-educated Rosy knows a helluva lot more about Revolutionary Cuba and Batista's Cuba than Americans who have been propagandized about both issues for all the decades since the 1950s.
