Cuba's Enemies Rejoice in August-2022

 Eyeing the End of Revolutionary Cuba!!

     Maps show that Cuba is still the largest and most dominant island and nation in the Caribbean, but unfortunately it remains directly below Miami/Key West, Florida. Therefore, since the Cuban Revolution defeated the U.S.-backed Batista/Mafia dictatorship in Cuba in 1959, Miami and the U. S. have struggled for over six decades to reclaim the pugnacious island.

    For six decades, after the 1961 Bay of Pigs military attack failed to recapture Cuba, the U. S. has used an EMBARGO of the island for the purpose...according to official documents...to starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cubans in Cuba to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government. While the superpower U.S.'s EMBARGO still hasn't toppled the Revolution, it has nevertheless starved, deprived, and made miserable generations of Cubans in Cuba...while, of course, creating a lot of millionaires and billionaires in Miami. The famous image above by the great Brazilian artist Carlos LaTuff refers to the fact that the EMBARGO coupled with the recent COVID-19 pandemic was finally supposed to finally destroy Revolutionary Cuba...but that hasn't happened either.

     But recently...throughout 2022...a series of strange explosions and fires have greatly exacerbated the pain for Cubans in Cuba. Dozens were killed when an explosion and fire destroyed the iconic SARATOGA HOTEL in the heart of Havana; and recently the above explosion and fire 65 miles east of Havana in Matanzas destroyed Cuba's most vital oil depot...as the deadly fireballs seem determined to pound prime tourist-related and energy-related sectors of the island's economy.

     In the United States, of course, there are dozens of anti-Cuban blogs and even powerful mainstream journalists at major venues such as the Miami Herald, New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, etc. that daily saturate the U. S. media with anti-Revolutionary articles that always imply how much greater and richer the 1950s U.S.-backed Batista rule in Cuba was. And, from Havana itself, one of the most famous and most ubiquitous anti-Cuban tirades daily saturate the world from famed dissident Yoani Sanchez and her worldwide 14ymedio digital newspaper. As you see above, her rich and powerful friends include U. S. Senators Marco Rubio and Bob Menendez -- the two most powerful Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans on the planet. Above you see the latest Havana-based 14ymedio article that is letting the world know that the energy "blackouts" now have Cubans in Cuba trying to buy "power generators that, for about $4,000, promise to exorcise the demon from the blackouts." WONDERFUL. Perhaps Yoani Sanchez in Havana can afford a precious generator but is she mocking those others in Cuba that can't afford them?

    Meanwhile today, on August 25th-2022, above are the Top Cuban Headlines from The Wall Street Journal, ABC News, Channel 10 in Miami, and ESPN. From such U. S. media sources, of course, don't expect any sympathy for Cubans in Cuba...but lots of sympathy for rich Cubans in Miami.

    And meanwhile, the great photojournalist YAMIL LAGE for the Paris-based AFP News Agency does sympathize with Cubans in Cuba whose latest pain has been caused by Fireballs like the one above that YAMIL LAGE sent around the world.
