Even in Hijacked Airplanes!!
Since January of 1959, the month that the Castro Revolution replaced the Batista Dictatorship in Cuba, both Havana and Miami as well as Cuba and the United States were changed forever. So, actually, "Cuba in Miami" is a Big Story.
For one thing, rich Cubans in Batista's Cuba quickly got much richer in Florida starting in January of 1959.
Since January of 1959 Little Havana USA in the heart of Miami has attained and maintained huge financial and political power in the entire United States. Thus millions of Cubans in Cuba have been lured to Florida since January of 1959...and on this First Day of March in 2023 that tsunami of Cubans to Florida continues to make major headlines...with many Cubans leaving Cuba to get to Florida anyway they can -- via sea, or air, or walking across the southern U. S. border with Mexico.
For example, this little Cuban airplane is -- on March 1st-2023 -- making headlines. Cuba used the little plane to fumigate crops but a Cuban flew it from Sancti Spiritus in Cuba to Florida, assuming -- correctly -- that he could get asylum in Florida once he landed on the U. S. soil. Updating the saga of that little airplane, below is the what the London-based Reuters News Agency is telling the world today -- March 1st-2023.
Of course, Reuters -- a worldwide news agency based in London -- thinks this is an important and headline-grabbing story about a little plane hijacked from Cuba landing in Florida. But the U. S. media largely ignores any topic that shines any negative spotlight on Florida regarding revolutionary Cuba.
On March 1st of 2023, the long-ago headlines from January of 1959 about Castro's revolution making dictator Bastista flee the island are ancient history in the United States. In the U. S. media since 1959 till 2023, almost all of the "news" about Cuba pertains to how terribly bad and poor revolutionary Cuba is compared to the good and rich Cubans in Florida.
But a conveniently misunderstood Caribbean revolution that replaced Batista in Cuba with Castro needs to be assessed accuratedly today -- because 64 YEARS later, and 7 years after Castro died at age 90 -- the massive changes that January of 1959 wrought in Cuba and in the United States remain, especially in the nearby cities of Miami and Havana.
The U.S.-Cuban conundrum on March 1st of 2023 needs a plethora of "Captivating Histories" as well as topical media coverage to explain the daily developments between the two vastly different neighbors -- Little Cuba and the Super United States -- since January of 1959.
And thus...on March 1st of 2023 this little airplane hijacked from Cuba to Florida needs to be accurately reported to the U. S. people, meaning the 340 million Americans who are also responsible for the U.S.-Cuban conundrum, which starts and ends with the Havana/Little Havana conundrum. Today the Reuters worldwide headline explains that Havana wants this little airplane back because it is needed to fumigate Cuban crops while the United States, at the behest of Little Havana as expected, has decided to keep the little airplane and to give the hijacker/pilot asylum in Florida. The current saga of this little airplane, of course, has been replicated before -- with the same outcome...favoring Little Havana while hurting Havana.
Of Course, since January of 1959 there have been many hijackings of planes in Cuba that landed in nearby Florida. Note the photo and caption above from CBS News: "Hijacked Cuban Plane Lands in Key West." But that frequency is no excuse for the mainstream U. S. media to ignore the hijacking that London-based Reuters thinks is a Big Deal today on March 1st of 2023!!!
Study this map and see how easy and luring it is to hijack a plane in poor little revolutionary Cuba and land it in mighty and rich Florida. Note the location of Havana and Miami. About half between those two warring cities is Key West, Florida. This map helps explain the U.S.-Cuban conundrum...especially since January of 1959!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
