To Starve Cubans, Americans Can't Visit Veradero

 

    On the last day of September in 2023 the two photos shown above reveal why a powerful nation should never be allowed to permit a few of its rich people to starve vulnerable women and children in a much-smaller nation. Yet, since 1962, that is precisely what the superpower United States has allowed a few rich and powerful very revengeful & greedy Cuban-Americans in Miami, Newark, and Washington to do to three generations of women & children in the nearby Caribbean nation of Cuba. The two photos above illustrate the fact that Cuba, on its northern coast a few miles from Florida, has better Tourist-Beloved Beaches than Florida has, yet Tourist-Obsessed Florida since 1962 has wildly promoted its money-hungry beaches while wildly blocking Cuba from deriving Tourism Revenue even from Varedero, the World's Best Beach that is just a few miles south from the Tourism-Mecca of Florida. It is a situation that has existed since 1962 because a propaganda-driven U. S. media since 1962 has informed the compliant American people that the nice Cubans in Newark, Miami, and Washington are correct and the terrible Cubans in Cuba deserve to starve.
    Of course, the image above was from the 1950s when the U. S. media and the U. S. government wildly promoted Wild Tourism to Cuba to benefit the rich U. S. companies, the Mafia, and the Batista dictatorship that was using massive Tourism to Cuba to fuel their uncontrolled and exceedingly greedy Lures to Tourists such as gambling, drugs, prostitution, etc. Of course, to this day as October of 2023 arrives, the U. S. still conveniently denies that neither the image above from the 1950s nor the USA's love for Cuban Tourism back in the 1950s were true facts.
     And of course, if there was no U. S. Embargo against Cuba in October of 2023, which has existed since 1962, there would be massive Tourism to Cuba to spots such as Varadero Beach that could garner some pesos that could keep Cubans from starving. As shown above today, the two top international Spanish Hotel Chains have forty-four 4-star & 5-star Hotels & Resorts in famed Cuban areas such as Varadero Beach.
    And of course, the propaganda-obsessed U. S. media wouldn't explain to the American people what this photo means. It shows on the last day of September of 2023 that much-needed rice is being loaded onto a truck at a Cuban port, defying the U. S. Embargo and hopefully keeping some Cubans in Cuba from starving because of the Florida-beloved U. S. Embargo...which began in 1962 but has been expanded and strengthened in 2023. Of course, the U. S. media says that is all a lie...and the U. S. media reminds everyone that nice Americans are behind the Embargo while mean Cubans in Cuba are both deserving of it and responsible for it. And of course, to keep its Cuban lies alive for six decades and counting, the U. S. media only presents the opinions of Embargo promoters from Newark, Miami, and Washington...never presenting the opinions of Cubans in Cuba who are being targeted for starvation by the U. S. Embargo. So, today -- on the last day of September in 2023 -- here are some of the Cubans in Cuba who have opinions on the endless U. S. Embargo of their island.
    Above are Cubans in Cuba at the start of October of 2023 who are expressing opinions about the U. S. EMBARGO that has tried to starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cubans in Cuba, an EMBARGO that has existed since February of 1962. Perhaps, in October of 2023 it would be nice if the U. S. media would finally allow the opinions of Cubans in Cuba to be heard or read regarding the greatest disaster affecting their lives.
      The EMBARGO of Cuba by the United States has existed for over six decades, since 1962. And, therefore, wouldn't it be nice in October of 2023 if the U. S. media would finally tell the truth about {1} Who is responsible for it and {2} Who suffers from it. As a Democracy-loving American, permit me to express an opinion: I think the U. S. Democracy suffers terribly from this disaster, not to mention the three generations of innocent women and children in Cuba who have most suffered from it!!!

Ana Belen Montes and U.S.-Cuba History

 

She Returns to the Headlines!!

    For years Ana Montes Belen was the top Cuban expert in the U. S. government. Then she was famously arrested and sent to 25 years in a federal U. S. prison for being a Cuban spy. Having served her sentence, Ana is now a free woman and is living in the U. S. Territory of Puerto Rico.
    The intriguing and fascinating saga of Ana Belen Montes is well documented, but even long-secretive tidbits of her life still filter out despite her desire for privacy. One of the YouTube Videos focused on her is listed below:
   After serving over two decades of her 25-year sentence as a Cuban spy, Ana Belen Montes remains feisty and spunky.
     From the day of his mug photo on September 21st of 2001 till the day she was sentenced to 25 years in prison till now in September of 2023 when, at age 66, she became a free woman again, Ana Belen Montes has steadfastly maintained that she "has never for a second regretted what I did in trying to help masses of innocent Cuban people survive the cruel injustices inflicted on them by elements in a much stronger nation." Even her prosecutors in the United States have admitted that she never asked for or made any money from her efforts on behalf of the Cuban people.
    Above is an updated quotation from the newly freed Ana Belen Montes on the USA's six-decade-old Embargo of Cuba.
   From 1962 until the end of September in 2023, three generations of Cuban women have suffered from the U. S. EMBARGO of Cuba. For six decades many billions of people around the world have begged the U. S.  to end the EMBARGO. But, for sure, no one in the world has made that plea more forcefully that Ana Belen Montes has.

Why Rich Miami Starves Poor Cuba

 For revenge and money??

     This is a ubiquitous & expensive ad today that is luring tourists to very rich Miami, the same Miami that has led the mammoth U. S. effort to starve poor Cubans in Cuba since 1962, which was the year that, indeed, Miami and the U. S. began the massive economic Embargo/Blockade of Cuba for the stated purpose of starving, depriving, and making miserable the Cuban people to induce them to rise up and overthrow their revolutionarry goverment. As of October of 2023 the overthrow still hasn't happened but, indeed, the Embargo/Blockade has starved, deprived and made miserable three generations of Cubans in Cuba, a long and enduring disaster supported by rich and politically powerful Cubans in Miami!! 
    Indeed, a few miles south of Miami the island of Cuba has beaches better than Miami has, but that simply appears to be a prime reason Miami, since 1962, has been a strong and effective advocate for the starvation-inducing U. S. Embargo/Blockade of the nearby island. For sure, Miami loves tourism but doesn't want Cuba to have such tourism!!! Of course...if the U. S. permitted tourism to Cuba, the U. S. couldn't keep starving Cubans in Cuba!!
     And, of course, it appears that in October of 2023 that still the prime reason for the EMBARGO against Cuba remains the 1959 victory of the Cuban Revolution over the brutal U.S./Mafia-backed/Tourism-crazed Batista dictatorship. But, indeed, I'm sure Miami wildly disputes such depictions of things such as the EMBARGO, the Cuban RevolutionVaradero Beach, etc., etc., etc. So...a Superpower nation encircling and smothering a much-smaller might actually continue six more decades or so!!

US-Cuba at End of September-2023

 The 6-decade-old Blockade Worsens!!

      Of all of the top U. S. airlines, JetBlue is the one that has tried the hardest to buck the U. S. cruel U. S. EMBARGO on Cuba that has existed since 1962. As you can see by the joyous Miami headline shown above, a few days ago -- on September 17th of 2023 -- JetBlue was forced to end its flights to Cuba, explaining that the tightened "restrictive" U. S. blockade of the nearby island by the recent Trump-Biden administrations in Washington have strenghened the economic blockade of Cuba that has been both cruel and stupid since 1962, as the world's strongest and richest Democracy caters only to a few self-serving Cuban-American Counter Revolutionaries in Miami, Newark, and, of course, in Washington.
    The absurdity and cruelty of the U. S. in September of 2023 expanding the absurb and cruel blockade that has existed since 1962 reminds many of the photo and caption shown above. It was a report from Miami by CBS News that is still easily accessed on You Tube, etc. And YET, Americans -- who have been programmed to support or condone the Cuban Blockade since 1962, are not supposed to know who Hugo Cancio is because the mainstream U. S. media -- which polls reveal is "not trusted" by 90% of Americans -- continually propagandize Americans by only reporting only Miami's version of Cuban News. So...permit me to truthfully tell you who Hugo Cancio is and why the CBS Headline above actually says: 'BUSINESSMAN: CUBA IS THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY"!!!! 
     Since the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959 kicked the Batistianos, the Mafiosi, and U. S. businessmen out of Havana, all the way to Little Havana in Miami, the U. S. media has told Americans to listen only to Counter Revolutionary Cuban-Americans and never listen to fair-minded Cuban-Americans such as Hugo Cancio of Miami. But as a businessman and family-man Hugo is vastly important...not to mention honest!!
    Yes, the bold and brilliant Hugo Cancio knows both Cuban President Diaz-Canel and U. S. President Biden. One of Cancio's businesses headquartered in both Miami and Havana is OnCuba News, which is extremely rare in that it actually reports fairly and honestly on U.S.-Cuba News. AMAZING!! In that vein, below are some of the items that OnCuba News posted today in both Spanish & English:
    As you see via the OnCuba News posts today, it reports fairly on important items involving U. S. and Cuba...including the gigantic revelation that Bob Menendez, by far the most powerful Cuban-American politician who is the longtime Chairman of the U. S. Senate's Foreign Relations Committee, and now is once again being charged with massively gigantic felonies, first in 2017 regarding Miami-Dominican Republic shenanigans and now involving Newark-Egypt. So, as this new revelation is breaking, it is important that it is reported fairly and honestly by the powerful U. S. media, and that simply has not been done since 1959. Therefore a more fair and honest news source regardin U.S.-Cuban Affairs is very important, and one fair and honest source is OnCuba News.
    Yes, a decent & brilliant Miami Cuban-American Hugo Cancio has the courage and decency to say things such as "Cuba is the land of opportunity" and that "Fidel Castro's Cuba is better for Cubans than Batista's Cuba." Yet, since 1962, Americans have been told they should support or condone an economic Embargo/Blockade against the island until the starved and miserable Cubans overthrow their Revolution, presumably to return the 1950s-type Batistiano-Mafiosi government that will allow rich U. S. companies to again wildly partake in the wholesale rape & robbery of the lush but vulnerable island.
     Of course, it doesn't matter if Cuban-Americans in Miami such as Hugo Cancio and almost every person in the world "Says No to the U. S. Blockade of Cuba and wants the U. S. to return the plush Guantanamo Port to Cuba." What does matter and what has mattered for the past six+ decades is that a few rich and politically powerful Cuban-Americans in Miami and Washington want the Blockade to continue. And so...it will!!!

Why US Embargo of Cuba HURTS US

 Starving a littler neighbor is stupid!!

    Today -- on September 20th, 2023 -- the top Cuban-related article flashing around the U. S. and the world is by Partick Oppmann of CNN. It is entitled: "Why Cubans Are Fighting For Russia In Ukraine." It clearly points out two things: {1} The U. S. Embargo against Cuba, which began in 1962 and has been cruelly expanded by both the Trump & Biden administrations, is indeed starving Cuban families on the island in September of 2023; and {2} It reminds many that the U. S. wildly helped the theiving and brutal Batista-Mafia dictationship back in the 1950s boldly rape and rob the nearby island at will. But the Oppmann-CNN report today massively explains how totally brutal two things are: {1} Wars between nations are terrible; and {2} Endless economic EMBARGOES/BLOCKADES by powerful nations against much-weaker nations are terrible. Below is how Patrick Oppmann began his article for CNN today:
     Starved by the endless U. S. Embargo in their homeland of Cuba, vulnerable young men are being duped to travel to Russia on the pretense of being paid to work construction jobs, only to be forced to fight on frontlines in the brutal Ukraine-Russia War.
     In the long, tragic CNN article today, Patrick Oppmann above reports how a mother named "Cecilia" is coping in Cuba knowing what is happening to her son as he is forced to fight in the Ukraine-Russia War. Of course, "Cecilia", who has faced the cruelty of the U. S. Embargo all her life, also knows why her son was so easily duped to leave Cuba for a glimmer of hope in Russia, not knowing what really awaited him.
        And so...today, now late into the month of September in 2023, an important report by Patrick Oppmann on CNN News doesn't actually mean a damn thing to a third generation of Americans who have cowardly condoned the U. S. Embargo of Cuba that began in 1962. Of course, despite the image conveyed around the world by the image above, Amercians are supposed to believe that the ones responsible for the Embargo are the good guys and the starving, grieving mothers in Cuba are the bad guys.

UN Today Hears About US Blockade of Cuba

 September 18th of 2023

     This was Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel arrving at the United Nations today in New York City.

    Today -- September 18th, 2023 -- in New York City the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel, let the U. S. and the world listen to what he thinks of the U. S. economic Blockade of Cuba that started in 1962 and has been STRENGTHENED by the last two U. S. administrations led by Presidents Trump and Biden.
   At the UN in NY today the theme "No More Blockade" resonated around the podiums and hallways.
    After his calm but scathing "No Blockade" speech at the UN podium today, President Diaz-Canel was surrounded by journalists out in the hallways. In the past two weeks -- at first the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg and the G77+China Summit in Havana, more than half of the nations in the world loudly and lavishly denounced the U. S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba. Today in New York Diaz-Canel was asked, "At the BRICS Summit in South Africa, Mia Mottley -- the Prime Minister of Barbados -- called the U. S. blockade of Cuba 'callous and brutal." And Diaz-Canel replied, "Those words Callous and brutal, I have found this year, is what I have found is what the entire world, except for the U. S., thinks of the blockade of Cuba. Now I suggest you ask the United States why it has existed since 1962, targeting three generations of innocent Cubans families." 
Cuba at the United Nations TODAY.
     Showing dire concern for how much the U. S. blockade of Cuba has hurt "Cuban Women," the top leader of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, in the past two weeks at the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg and at the G77+China Summit in Havana, Antonio Guterres also expressed the same sentiment, agreeing with the leaders who called the blockade "callous and brutal," especially for generations of Cuban women and children.
    The historic photos above taken in 1979, 1995, and 2000 show that Fidel Castro regularly blistered the U. S. blockade of Cuba with his scathing speeches at the United Nations in New York. Before Fidel Castro died peacefully at age 90 in Havana in 2016, of course, the U. S. supporters of the blockade have told the American people that the people in Cuba hated their revolutionary leader and that the endless blockade is intended to "help everyday Cuban families." Of course, back in the 1950s during the US/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship, most Cubans fiercely loved Fidel Castro and in Septermber of 2023 they still fiercely love his legacy...while hating the blockade, of course.
    As the U. S. has done since 1962, the United States today has denied that this seminal and definitive image of the Embargo/Blockade provokes a bad worldwide image of the United States and Democracy. It seems that...the rest of the world disagrees with the United States when it claims that this is a nice IMAGE OF THE UNITED STATES.
