Fidel's Cuba Still Lives At 65-Years-Old Starting In 2024!!

 

     As of today -- January 1st of 2024 -- Revolutionary Cuba is an amazing 65 Years Old!!! Yes, that stupendous fact is every bit as amazing as the Triumph of the Cuban Revolution on January 1st of 1959...considering that the Revolution had to overthrow the powerful Batista dictatorship that was supported by the most powerful nation in the World, the United States,  and by the most powerful criminal organization in the world, the Mafia. Every day for the past 65 Years there have been dire predictions that ultra-powerful forces in the United States -- from Washington to Little Havana, the Cuban enclave in Miami -- will overthrow Revolutionary Cuba "any day now!!!" Well...those herculean efforts by Little Havana and the United States to overthrow Havana are still ongoing into a 65th Year but the Revolution starts 2024 still in control of Cuba.

     And, therefore, on January 1st of 2024 Revolutionary Cuba is celebrating the day exactly 65 Years ago when Fidel Castro's Revolution defeated Dictator Batista, much  to the chagrin of the United States and the Mafia.

In 2016 Fidel Castro died at age 90 in Havana.

     But as most Cubans still in Cuba believe, Fidel Castro still watches over his Revolution...while standing tall on a Sierra Maestra Mountain where the revolution first began to defeat Batista armies at the end of 1957 and early in 1958.

    Today on January 1st of 2024, therefore, the Revolutionary Celebrations in Cuba surround memories of Fidel Castro.

   Cubans still remember that prior to becoming a lawyer and then an anti-Batista rebel, Fidel Castro was a baseball player with Major League ambitions. Thus the 65th Year Celebrations include a scoreboard that exclaims this score: Revolution 65, Enemies 0!!

   Today -- on JANUARY 1st of 2024 -- there are still a few of the prime anti-Batista rebels still alive, including the healthy Raul Castro who is 92-years-old. From the start to the finish of the Cuban Revolution, Raul was at his brother Fiden's side. This photo of Raul was taken this weekend at 65th Year celebrations in Santiago de Cuba, the city in far southeastern Cuba where the Revolution started and where Fidel's tomb is located.

    While Cuba this weekend is celebrating Revolutionary Cuba's 65th Year anniversary, the Miami Herald very surprisingly published the Editorial shown above: 'The Cuban Revolution turns 65. It broke Cuba, but not its people. Opinion." It is amazing, certainly surprising from the Miami Herald, that any of the U. S. media would grudingly mention the sheer tenacity of the Cuban Revolution's amazing longevity.

     Yes, it is startling that the Miami Herald would say things such as: "As 2023 dawns, we mark an anniversary that is difficult to stomach for many in Miami's historic Cuban-exile community: The 65th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution." Then near the bottom of the long Miami Herald editorial, as you can see above, it says: "So could the revolution celebrate another birthday? We hope not, but it has shown staying power." At least...even the Miami Herald is forced to claim that the Cuban Revolution and REVOLUTIONARY CUBA HAVE BOTH SET HISTORIC RECORDS!!!!

  The Cubans shown above celebrating the 65th Year anniversary of the Cuban Revolution this weekend are saying: "CUBA NO ESTA SOLA"/"CUBA IS NOT ALONE." And that is true, because only the United States maintains the Embargo and other drastic policies designed to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba.

   This is Vladimir Molina, one of the Caribbean's greatest photo-journalists. His photos this weekend about the 65th Year celebrations in Santiago de Cuba are saturating the Cuban media as well as Facebook and other Social Media sources. The great Molina, as he is known, points out that most Cubans in Cuba, now and during the Revolution, support/supported what the Revolution did.

     Translated from Spanish to English, "nuestros suenos" means "our dreams" and "1ro de Enero" means "1st of January" So -- on January 1st of 2024 the poster above shows Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel emphasizing these words: "65th anniversary. This is the Revolution. On January 1st of 2024, let's work for our dreams."

     To many Cubans in Cuba on January 1st of 2024, their suenos, their dreams, revive memories of or the thoughts of the image reflected above. It is about the day when Fidel & Raul Castro and 80 other rebels returned to Cuba from Mexico on the yacht Granma to resume their do-or-die revolution to overthrow the Batista dictatorship in Cuba.
