Yesterday -- March 14-2022 -- was National Press Day in Cuba. After a long and typical day on state television news in Havana, these 8 journalists celebrated with drinks and brownies. All 8, including the 8-year-old who is a daughter of an anchor, sincerely believe they are well-educated, honest, proud, and true journalists. Of course, they are abundantly aware that the U. S. media as well as pro-U.S. journalists in Cuba spend 24-hours-a-day defaming their journalism and their integrity.
Today -- March 15- 2022 -- these are the typical daily five headlines defaming Cuba by Diario-de-Cuba, one of the plethora of powerful outlets that exist to defame and destroy Revolutionary Cuba. This has been been going on since January of 1959, the month that the Cuban Revolution evicted the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafiosi rule of Cuba off the island...all the way to Miami.
Today -- March 15-2022 -- here is a Major Article by Diario-de-Cuba that has been quickly picked up by Havana Times and other anti-Cuban outlets...as you can see above. Needless to say, this article about a black Cuban who was a News Anchor on a top nightly newscast in Cuba is a prime revelation because it grossly defames Cuba. It explains that Yunior Smith Rodriguez is now in Mexico about ready to cross the open border into a safe haven...and presumably a rich life...in the United States. The first line above reveals that he "wanted to 'escape all the rotten shit, the lies, and the desperation.'" That explanation splashed around Facebook and other Social Media as well as by the usual suspects in the media surely is a nice entrée for Yunior's entry into the U.S., probably Miami.
Every single day since January of 1959 Revolutionary Cuba has been forced to fend off desperate efforts by Miami Cubans and the Superpower United States to regain control of the Caribbean's largest island nation. Three notable times in history Fidel Castro announced that he would help Cubans who wanted to defect to the U. S. to get there. The most famous of those times was the Mariel Boat Lift in 1980 when some 125,000 Cubans used the opportunity to leave Cuba for nearby Florida. History correctly registers the fact that Fidel Castro famously wanted to empty his jails...presumably sending such problems to Miami, where most of them landed.
While the U. S. media and U. S. historians mostly ignore inconvenient facts about the Mariel Boat Lift, four Hollywood superstars -- as shown above -- produced a 1983 movie named Scarface, which remains a popular classic that bloodily told the story of the Al Pacino character who arrived in the Port of Miami thanks to the Fidel Castro-orchestrated Mariel Boat Lift. The movie starts with actual black-and-white video of Cubans arriving at the Port of Miami...and then follows "Al Pacino's" fictional path to becoming the Cuban drug king of Miami. Surely, both before and after 1980's Mariel Boat Lift...and both before and after 1983's Scarface...there have been nice Cubans and millions of others who wanted to get to the U. S. for legitimate, nice reasons. But within the bowels of the U.S.-Cuban equation, there are often two-sides of what is often only depicted as one-side of events, especially events such as...the Cuban Revolution, the Mariel Boat Lift, Scarface, etc., etc., etc.!!!!!
This is a popular News Anchor on state television in Cuba. She is smart, well-educated, talented, and a young mother. She has flown to major cities in Europe and Asia and she has no plans to defect to the United States. Therefore, unlike defecting baseball stars and Cuban anchors like the aforementioned Yunior Smith Rodriguez, she will never be mentioned in the U. S. media. Yet, she considered herself a proud Cuban journalist and she believes that most Cubans on the island love and respect her. In the above photo she is shown as she herself was being interviewed when she flew to a Latin American capital city on a story. She had just been asked, "Will the blockade of your country ever be ended?" She said, "Maybe, if Miami ever shows some compassion for families on the island."
Here she is shown interviewing the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel, on a street in Cuba. Once on Cuba's most-watched television news program, the Round Table, Diaz-Canel mentioned her name and thanked her for "criticizing my government two times recently when she believed everyday Cuban workers were not being treated fairly by the government. I want others to criticize us in that manner and I will thank them too."
Born after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, President Diaz-Canel since 2018 has been a strong and popular leader of Cuba. Truth be known, it has been estimated that 80% of Cuba's 13 million people love Diaz-Canel and would vote for him in a democratic election today. And they know him well from his days as the island's popular Education Minister. Americans have known presidents Trump and Biden well and either one of them would love to be able to be rated as high as 50% in popularity polls. And Gallup, America's top poll, now reveals that most Americans don't trust their mainstream U. S. media, the same media...along with the plethora of sheer anti-Cuban mushrooming media outlets...that daily report how terrible Diaz-Canel and the Cuban media are. Well, what is more terrible than a genocidal 60-year-old blockade by the "good" people in a powerful country against the "bad" people in a small country?? Could it be that "bad" people are the ones doing it to the "good" people???????
For sure, it was President Trump who expanded the cruel 6-decade-old Embargo of Cuba into a genocidal Blockade of Cuba, and then President Biden beginning in January-2021 has continued President Trump's genocide. Perhaps, the U. S. media might mention such a significant thing.
