September of 2022 Arrives in Cuba

And it arrives HARSHLY!!

       As the calendar turned into September in 2022 the endless {since 1962} U. S. Embargo combined with other calamities such as deadly explosions and fires destroying a key Havana hotel and then a key energy storage depot have created constant blackouts and even more-than-the-usual problems for Cuba's people. It has also caused eager observers from Miami and Washington to predict that, finally, the end of Revolutionary Rule on the island is imminent.

    Amid all the Cuban turmoil on September 1-2022 the top headlines include one of the ways the island is coping with the power blackouts as Cubans also mourn the death of Camilo Guevara, Che's son.

     The London-based Reuters News Agency reports that Cuba is trying to pay a Turkish ship company to provide a "fleet off Cuba to produce the required amount of energy."  But Reuters also reports that "The U. S. trade Embargo makes Western financial transactions very difficult and Cuba is cash short and behind on payments with many supplies and joint venture partners." In other words, as it has done since 1962 the U. S. Embargo of Cuba in September of 2022 is designed to both starve Cuba and to prevent Cuba from getting help from other nations, including Turkish help to deal with the blackouts. Obviously, Miami and Washington can rejoice about how well the six-decade-old EMBARGO continues to torment Cuba's people six decades after the EMBARGO began.

     In Cuba on September 1-2022 the people are also mourning the death of 59-year-old Camilo Guevara who died from a heart attack while he was visiting Venezuela. Camilo was four-years-old when his father Che Guevara was assassinated in Bolivia on October 9th of 1967 when he was captured by a CIA-friendly Bolivian army patrol.

    This photo shows Camilo Guevara when he was a baby in Havana with his mom Aleida March. Born in Santa Clara, Cuba, on October 19-1936, Aleida is now 85-years-old and beloved as one of the heroines who fought alongside Che in the Cuban Revolution. Aleida then married Che and they had four children in Cuba -- Aleida, Camilo, Celia, and Ernesto.

    The two photos above show Aleida March and Che Guevara right after their victorious Cuban Revolution had shocked the world in January of 1959.
