Cash Flies From Cuba to Florida!!!

Conundrums & Shenigans Between Florida & Cuba!!

And between Miami and Havana!!!

Cash Money Still Fills Many Flights to & fro!!! 

     The two maps shown above show just how Cuba and the United States are extremely close neighbors, and it has been that way almost since 1492 when explorer Columbus discovered both terriories long before they became nations. As the U. S. emerged into the world's richest and most powerful nation, the island nation of Cuba, awessomely beautiful and extremely strategically located, emerged into an island and a nation vastly coveted by the world's imperative powers -- especially Spain and the United States -- starting before & after Cuba became a new nation.

    Please understand the extreme greed for Cuba that permeated the United States by the time it became a nation. The U. S. leaders, from the beginning, sought to capture, own, and exploit Cuba as a top priority and if you deny that fact I suggest you study the historic quotations shown above. For example, please read what Thomas Jefferson, the greatest Founding Father, said in 1817: "If we seize Cuba we will be masters of the Caribbean." Then after 1817 continue to read above what Thomas Jefferson and other notable Americans continue to euphorically say about capturing, dominating, and exploiting Cuba!! Well, finally in 1898 the United States used the Spanish-American War fought in Cuba to replace Spain as the Masters of Cuba!! And from 1898 until 2024 the intrigues and wars and tribulations between feisty little Cuba and the superpower United States have been both uniquely historic and utterly fascinating...as poor Cuba tries to survive while trying to ward off the incomparable United States greed and power. That tiny bit of history and topicality brings us up to mid-March in 2024 and the headline shown below:

    The above up-to-date headline in mid-March of 2024 tells us that a woman from Tampa, Florida flies to Cuba and is then caught "SMUGGLING $100 THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO THE US FROM CUBA." This headline is from NBC 6 News, a top news source in South Florida. And actually, of course, it is typical of what great journalists/authors have been reporting about US-Cuba News since 1898...you know, the year the U. S. replaced Spain as the new Master of Cuba.

    Of course, the great journalist/author T. J. English wonderfully and correctly told us, following the 1898 Spanish-American War, "How the Mob Owned Cuba...and Then Lost It to the Revolution." And for sure T. J. English would not be surprised today about the massive headline from NBC 6 News in South Florida, so now permit me to return to that fasinating new update on the always intriguing US-Cuba conundrum.

       NBC 6 South Florida News in Mid-March of 2024 reminds us about what T. J. English so bravely told us about in "Havana Nocturne." 

The NBC 6 News from South Florida is merely more US-Cuba fascination.

    But the massive fascination with US-Cuba relations probably reached a peak in tthe 1950s when the U. S. Mafia and the U. S. government supported the Batista dictatorship, a furiously lucrative but brutal era that promoted T. J. English to famously and bravely tell us all about "How the Mob owned Cuba...but lost it to the Revolution." The two photos directly above show when Mafia kingpins Luciano, Batista, and Lansky ruled Cuba and above it shows Batista being triumphantly driven around the U. S. capital of Washington.

      But the two photos directly above show why, as T. J. English said, "The Mob owned Cuba but lost it to the Revolution." When the Mob owned Cuba it didn't think it needed to toss a few crumbs to the majority peasants and the Mob also brutalized Cuban children to supposedly persuade Cuban mothers from protesting the murders of their children. But instead of scaring and shaming the mothers into silence, the mothers bravely started marches covered closely by New York Times journalist Herbert L. Matthews and these marches galvanized the majority of Cubans against Batista, and ended up winning the Revolution. The woman with the white blouse and sunglasses above was the mother of the gruesomely murdered Little Willie Soler. Today in Mid-March of 2024 the top children's hospital is named "William Soler Children's Hospital" -- a name that signafies that the Revolution the Cuban mothers helped forge is still ruling Cuba.

     This is the William Soler Children's Hospital in Havana, the most important children's hospital in Cuba in March of 2024. Please note the caption shown above that explains why the vital Soler Hospital is not allowed to buy vital "medicines or devices by the US Treasury Department under the US blockade of Cuba" even if "thesse products are made only by US companies or subsidiaries." Of course, Americans who support or condone the blockade don't know that...nor do they know why William Soler Children's Hospital got its name.

     For sure, since 1962 the US EMBARGO/Blockade of Cuba has supposedly been endlessly enfoced to harm the Post-Batista leaders of Cuba, but it seems that most people around the world believe it has gravely harmed generations of Cuban children.
