New Airline To Launch Flights To Cuba

Canada Bucks U. S. Blockade!!

      A brand-new Canadian airline, OWG, is launching with its inaugural flights destined for Cuba. OWG stands for "Off We Go" and its first flights are set for November 1st of this year.

      The OWG airline starts with three Boeing 737-400 aircraft. OWG Airlines is in a partnership with the Canadian aircraft company Hola Sun Holidays. The two companies obviously believe that the Blockade imposed by the U. S. to deter all commerce with the Caribbean's largest and, arguably,  also its most beautiful island, creates opportunities for other nations to exploit the void for other visitors and tourists.

     Many experts consider Cristiano Ronaldo the world's all-time greatest soccer player. In fact, Forbes used this headline: "Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes First Footballer To Reach Billionaire Status." He plays for Juventus F. C. in Turin, Italy, and also captains his native Portuguese national team. Organizations in both Portugal and Italy, along with groups in other nations from Spain to South Africa to Qatar, are promoting Cuban doctors and nurses for the Nobel Peace Prize for their herculean devotions in helping many nations battle the Coronavirus pandemic. Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a special message for the Cuban doctors working in Turin: "FOR THE BLESSED CUBAN DOCTORS OF TURIN." Along with the message, Cristiano Ronaldo sent Juventus jerseys bearing his famed number "7" for all the Cuban doctors and nurses who are helping the people in Turin.

      These are some of the Cuban doctors in Turin, Italy, showing off their proud Cristiano Ronaldo jerseys.

     When South Africa, which has beloved Cuba and been beholden to Cuba since Nelson Mandela's triumph against apartheid, joined the clamor for Cuba's renowned doctors to help against the COVID-19 pandemic, U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, at the behest of a few zealots in Miami and in Congress, assailed South Africa for its solidarity with Cuba and claimed requesting the Cuban doctors will help Cuba's economy and defy the U. S. blockade.

      Meanwhile, the Cuban doctors have helped dozens of nations fight the Coronavirus and now many organizations in those countries are nominating the Cuban doctors for the Nobel Peace Prize even as one superpower nation, the USA, uses its leverage to assail them...along with all Cubans on the island.

     Since 1962 the U. S. has imposed a tight Embargo against Cuba and that has been expanded by the current Trump regime into a total genocidal Blockade of the island.

      Yet, remarkably, since 1959 there have been enough Cubans on the island determined to protect the sovereignty provided by the victory of the Cuban Revolution against the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship. So, with a mere 110-days-or-so left in Trump's first 4-year term as president, this is where we stand: A little island nation still fighting off the world's superpower, an ongoing and historic event that has been going on for seven decades. So far, it appears that the U. S. DEMOCRACY is the primary casualty.

Title III's Genocide Continues

But So Far It's No Piggy-Bank!!

       The Southern District of Florida Miami Division has handed down the first-ever ruling in a Helms-Burton/Title III lawsuit. It ruled for Carnival Cruise Lines and against the Cuban-American in Florida who sued Carnival because it used a dock in Cuba. There remain dozens of mammoth claims against companies who have had business related to Cuba, but so far none have resulted in the anticipated millions or billions of dollars the claimants are clamoring for.

      Since 1996 the infamous Helms-Burton Act, considered the product of extreme Cuban Counter Revolutionaries Jorge Mas Canosa and Lincoln Diaz-Balart, has purportedly legalized two gigantic purposes: {1} To enrich certain Cuban-Americans in the Little Havana section of Miami; and {2} to severely punish and deprive Cubans on the island every day since 1996.

     The Helms-Burton Act had a provision called Title III that all Presidents prior to Donald Trump had refused to activate, and for a damn good reason -- it legalized a full Blockade of Cuba that many decent people consider legal genocide imposed by a powerful nation against a much smaller nation. And, of course, Title III proposed a huge financial reward for U. S. Cubans who would sue companies that did business with Cuba, with the lawsuits to be adjudicated in the Southern District Of Florida Miami Division. All Republican administrations, even the George W. Bush presidency that condoned making acolyte Cubans like Canosa billionaires and many others multi-millionaires, would not allow Title III to be activated because even Bush believed it would permit genocide against totally innocent Cuban families on the island.

       But the photo above revealed that extreme Counter Revolutionary Little Havana benefactors finally had a Republican president in Donald Trump that would activate Title III and do whatever else they wanted as a means to finally regain control of Havana for the denizens in Little Havana. This photo shows the FOUR MEN ABOVE the day right after they had just had a meeting in the White House with Trump. Then, knowing they had him in total control, a bank of microphones already awaited them outside the White House to perpetrate a news conference extolling their victory. Of course, Marco Rubio began the orations about their triumph as Mario Diaz-Balart, Ron DeSantis, and Rick Scott -- all of whom also own their political fortunes in Florida to fully supporting Little Havana's extreme whims -- stood stone-faced.

     The U. S. Economic Embargo against Cuba has been in force continually since 1962, certainly the LONGEST and CRUELEST in all-time history. After the air-land-and-sea military attack at the Bay of Pigs in 1961 as well as numerous terrorist attacks and a record number of assassination attempts failed to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, the Embargo in 1962 was intended, according to de-classified U. S. documents, to starve, deprive, and make miserable the Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their government. So, for 6+ decades now the Embargo has failed, except to  continually punish Cubans on the island and to create the image of the red-eyed, claw-fingered United States of America...as depicted above.

     In America's two-party political system, Democratic president Barack Obama, prior to the 2016 election of Republican Donald Trump, did all he could to end the Embargo and normalize relations with Cuba...as most Americans, most Cuban-Americans, and most nations around the world desire. In Obama's last year in office, 2016, he would not allow the United States to vote in the UN to support the insidious Embargo at the United Nations...so the worldwide vote in the UN against the Embargo was 191-to-0.

     When a decent President of the United States, supported by the entire world, pleaded for the Embargo against Cuba to be lifted, it revealed that the U. S. democracy was not strong enough to stand up to a handful of Counter Revolutionary zealots in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress.

      And so in mid-July of 2020 the U. S., with a Little Havana-controlled Republican president in the White House, the U. S. democracy is not capable of dealing with even the genocidal aspects of Title III of the Helms-Burton Act.

So, don't challenge Pinocchio!!!

Diaz-Canez Calls Trump Illiterate

 And Then Adds "Grotesque"!!

      Today -- July 11, 2020 -- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel lashed more vehemently at U. S. President Donald Trump than he has ever done before. Using the island's print, television, and Social media platforms Diaz-Canel, among other things, called Trump both "illiterate" and "grotesque."

   Apparently Diaz-Canel was particularly perturbed about Trump's visit this week to the USA's powerful Southern Command military apparatus in Doral, Florida. Diaz-Canel said, "Using the U. S. nuclear military in nearby Florida to intimidate Cuban families, while also threatening their children by continually tightening the genocidal Blockade, could only be conducted by an illiterate and grotesque individual. For the American people to promote such genocide with their silence, which is apparently because of their fear of operatives in Florida and in Congress and the White House, is not lost on brave and righteous people such as the Cubans who depend on me and others to protect them against the Coronavirus pandemic and, of course, the Blockade. Never before have I blamed the fear of the American population for enabling the illiterate and grotesque Trump as he tries to eviscerate 11.2 Cubans on this island as a trade-off for winning Florida's 29 Electoral Votes needed for his re-election on November of this year. Today I do."  

     Also today, Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez used the word "mendacious" to describe "what Trump is able to get away with even the powerful anti-Trump leftist media too afraid to mention Trump's genocide against Cuban families on the island. There was a time even during the Cold War when the mainstream media was not THIS afraid of the Cubans in Florida."

    But in Cuba today the most flagrant denunciation of Trump came from President Miguel Diaz-Canel. He said, "The U. S. has a real problem, I think, when the American people are the only people in the world who are obliged to believe, accept, the lie that Cubans on the island want Trump and the likes of Claver-Carone, Rubio, and Diaz-Balart to come over and 'help' them. If a strong majority of Cubans in Cuba did not support me and the Revolution, I would resign today. In America's two-party political machine, fueled by obscene piles of money, it is apparent that a strong majority of Americans hate Trump, but they can't do anything about it now or probably not after the November 3rd election. Every nation in the Caribbean and throughout Latin America knows the U. S. reputation for over-throwing Democratic governments to install merciless U.S.-backed dictators like Trujillo, Pinochet, Videla, Somoso, and so forth...actions made to enrich already rich Americans even though the pretexts were always that those Democracy-loving presidents were a threat to the United States. Of course, they were a threat to the rape and plunder of their countries by rich Americans supported by the American government. When, in 2020, Americans are never told the difference between, for example, the great Democracy president Allende in Chile who was killed in a coup led Nixon and Kissinger so they could install the U.S.-friendly blood-thirty Pinochet as the U.S.-friendly bloody dictator for two bloody decades. When in the  US Democracy today politicians like that can routinely perpetrate such lies, maybe it is time the American people took it back. In Cuba today, I assure you, neither I nor the Cuban media could get away with such lies because the Cubans in Cuba are much too intelligent to be so easily lied to."

More Nations Depend on Cuba Health

Only USA Narratives Disparage It!!

    Cuba's renowned Dr. Augustin Lage Davila is famed for his work at Havana's BioCubaFarma and the Center for Molecular Immunology. While U. S. news agencies apparently must get permission from anti-Cuban zealots in Little Havana, in Congress, and in the Trump White House to mention Dr. Davila, that is not the case with other news agencies...such as London-based Reuters, Paris-based AFP, and Ankara-based Anadolu. This week Reuters and AFP have told their international audiences that a key factor in Cuba's "exceptional leadership in the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic relates to its universal and totally free health for all Cubans." Today -- July 10th, 2020 -- the Anadolu News Agency featured the above photo of Dr. Davila to illustrate a major article to highlight this fact: "Cuba has stood out as one of the most capable countries in the world to fight the deadly coronavirus pandemic with only 86 reported deaths so far and slightly over 2,400 cases. The U. S. state of Florida alone, which is a stone's throw from the Caribbean nation, has registered over 4,000 deaths and at least 223,000 infections. The statistics are confirmed by Johns Hopkins University in the United States."

     Today the Anadolu New Agency used the above video that features Dr. Augustin Lage Davila explaining in English how Cuba's universal health system buttressed with certain proven drugs has curtailed Covid-19 on the island. He said, "We use hydroxychloroquine in the framework of the protocol for managing coronavirus patients. But we incorporate five other drugs, such as Recombinant Human Interferon Alpha 2b, as a basis for our treatments."

       Turkey is the latest nation that is depending on the expertise of renowned Cuban doctors and scientists such as Dr. Davila to fight the Coronavirus pandemic. More than 30 other nations -- from Italy to Spain to Southern Africa to Qatar, etc. -- have called on Cuba's help to battle COVID-19 and many of them have joined organizations in Portugal and the UK to nominate Cuban doctors for the Nobel Peace Prize because of "their selfless and herculean devotion to help other nations navigate through the Coronavirus pandemic." Such publicity seems to encourage Little Havana and the Trump administration to escalate their expensive denunciations and attacks on Cuban doctors like Dr. Davila. Meanwhile in the United States, especially in Florida, the work of Dr. Davila and other Cuban doctors and health superstars are mocked and demeaned by the unchecked purveyors of anti-Cuban propaganda...much of it dispensed on a daily basis by sources such as the Miami-based Radio-TV Marti outfit that has been lavishly funded by tax dollars from Washington for decades...supposedly to pump Counter Revolutionary propaganda to the Cubans on the island.

       With Cuba in Phase I of its Recovery from the Coronavirus, the island's tourist centers are beginning to cautiously open.

      The five popular Keys just off mainland Cuba's north-central coast are among the first tourist areas to reopen.

     Open-air dining, such as at the Coppelia Ice Cream Parlor, will be reopening for both locals and tourists although the capital city of Havana is still closely monitored.

      Meanwhile, the Radio-TV Marti "news" operation in Miami continues to soak up millions of tax dollars to supposedly tell Cubans on the island how fantastic things will be when Little Havana resumes control of Havana for the first time since December 30th, 1958.

     And meanwhile, Cubans on the island know first-hand why they appreciate their medical scientists and there universal and free healthcare...and don't wait for one of the unblocked signals from Radio-TV Marti to inform them that their free healthcare and their free educations thorough college are jokes.

     Cubans, now less afraid of Covid-9m are also hoping that tourists...especially from Europe...will begin returning to the island as they were in 2016 and 2017 before the Obama-to-Trump transition in the United States dampered things.

   And even with the Little Havana-ruled Trump presidency having 116 days left in his 4-year term, Cubans on the island will continue to punch back.
