As Some Cubans Still Savor Fidel's Revolution!
The Spanish word "venido" means "come." The photo above shows the day on January 8th in 1959 when Fidel Castro entered Havana as the new leader of Cuba. His Cuban Revolution had just shocked the world by overthrowing the powerful dictator Fulgencio Batista who had been supported by the most powerful nation in the world, the United States, and by the Mafia, the most powerful criminal organization in the world. The three photos shown above are still pertinent today -- on August 15th in 2026 -- because many Cubans in Cuba today are still depending on Fidel Castro, or at least his legacy, to save his direly imperiled Cuban Revolution from being overthrown.
The severely EMBARGOED/blockaded Cubans on the long-encircled island, as shown above, in August of 2026, are celebrating "100 Years With Fidel." Yes, Fidel Castro was born on August 13th in 1926 in Biran, Cuba, and that was 100 years ago.
While Fidel Castro died peacefully in Havana at age 90 in 2016, he or his legacy are still considered the best hope in the fight to save Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution. So, in August of 2026, in Cuba there are posters that say, "Fidel ES UN PAIS" and that means, "Fidel is a country."

Under that large poster of Fidel, many Cubans are shown at a meeting in August of 2026 discussing what they intend to do against the threat posed by Miami and Washington counter revolutionaries. They consider it the biggest such threat in the 7-decade rule of Fidel's Revolution.
Prior to the current threat from the Trump-Rubio adminstration, the Bay of Pigs military attack in April of 1961 was considered the biggest threat to Fidel's Cuban Revolution and, of course, Fidel was again the hero and savior there too.
And, yes, in August of 2026 Cubans in Cuba are again pointing to Fidel Castro to save their island, just as he did in the Cuban Revolution in 1959, at the Bay of Pigs in 1961, and so MANY other times!! Such legacies are still remembered today!!
In mid-August of 2026, it is true that many Cubans on the island are thinking of the young Fidel Castro, the rebel who led the Cuba Revolution to victory in 1959 and then repeated that monumental success in 1961 when Cuba was attacked at the Bay of Pigs. Only Fidel, many Cubans still believe, could have accomplished such feats against such overwhelming foes. And now, 100 years after his birth in 1926 and after 10 years since his death in 2016, many Cubans in Cuba believe only Fidel, or his legacy, can save his Revolution. Today much of the world is wondering the same thing.
