July 26th-2021: Revolution's 68th Anniversary

 The Day the Revolution Started!!

And 68 Years Later It Still Lives!!

     Today -- July 26th, 2021 -- Cuba is celebrating the 68th anniversary of the start of the Cuban Revolution on July 26th-1953 THEN on Jan. 1-1959 shocked the world by defeating the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. The ubiquitous headline in Cuba today says: "MI MONCADA HOY"/"MY MONCADA DAY"}.

    The rebel guerrilla fighters who fought the revolutionary fight, including Vilma Espin, wore "July 26th" banners on their left arms. And so, 68 YEARS later on July 26-2021 Cuba is celebrating the anniversary of the start of the Cuban Revolution, which resulted on Jan. 1-1959 as a monumental and historic win.

   Everyday since January 1-1959 the Batistianos and the United States have combined their considerable financial and political forces to recapture Cuba, and that effort is still reaching a crescendo today - JULY 26-2021 - as you can see by the major U. S. headlines depicted above today. Both the propaganda-obsessed media in the U. S. -- such as the Washington Post and NBC News as well as the right-wing U. S. media such as Fox News -- are loudly beating the war drums for the United States to finally overthrow very vulnerable but also very pugnacious Revolutionary Cuba.

    The headline above today -- July 26th, 2021 -- from the once-respected Washington Post is simply ignorant and bull-headed in its ongoing effort to promote the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba, which has been the Post's ferment mission since it was purchased by Jeff Bezos, the world's richest person with a worth exceeding $200 billion. {Of course, Jeff Bezos's Cuban-born stepdad is Miguel Bezos, which...uh...might have something to do with its extreme hatred of Revolutionary Cuba}.

      The Washington Post today -- July 26th, 2021 -- used its weirdest "journalist" Max Boot to write its latest weird overthrow Cuba article, this one a massive Editorial entitled: "IN THE REAL WORLD, BIDEN IS TOUGH ON CUBA. IN THE RIGHT-WING WORLD, HE'S PRO-COMMUNIST." A stupid headline, a stupid article, and a typically stupid Washington Post anti-Cuban propaganda spiel, but that also passes for real news in today's money-crazed, propaganda-obsessed mainstream U. S. media. In fact, polls from Gallup and other pollsters now reveal what we all already knew, which is that few Americans "trust" what they read, see, and hear in today's U. S. media. That surely now includes the Washington Post and its Max Boot. Of course, as the two graphics above show, extreme left-wing TV networks such as CNN and MSNBC saturate their airways with the likes of propaganda-crazed pundits like Max Boot. But on the other end of the spectrum, CNN's and MSNBC's prime competition, Fox News, saturates its airways with extreme right-wing anti-Cuban propaganda pundits. It has been that way since the Supreme Court and the FCC permitted extremely rich individuals and corporations -- such as Bezos, Comcast, Disney, etc., etc. -- to purchase formerly respected TV & News organizations, which have become extreme left-wing or right-wing outlets, depending on how their ultra-rich owners want to shape U. S. information and news. All Americans, of course, are victims of being denied real news as opposed to being spoon-fed fake propaganda, but other victims surely also include Cuba and many other nations who are impacted by the USA's incomparable economic and military influence.

      In addition to the Washington Post's Max Boot, there are many other powerful propagandists working for other powerful once-respected news sources. For example, the Wall Street Journal's prime anti-Cuban zealot, Mary Anastasia O'Grady, has the powerful job as a prime Editorialist and is billed as a prime super-expert regarding Latin American affairs. It seems O'Grady's main passion is to restore the Batistianos to power in Cuba while also pretending conveniently that the Mafia-run Batista regime that preceded the Cuban Revolution was Mother Teresa-like!!! Her latest WSJ OPINION piece devoted to Cuban propaganda is typical of what O'Grady regularly produces.

      Above is Mary Anastasia O'Grady's latest anti-Cuban propaganda diatribe. The headline, as you can see, is: "The Root Causes of Cuban Poverty." And the sub-headline, as you can see, is: "The Only Blockade Is The One Imposed by Havana Regime Elites {who} Oppose Competition." Every word is a blatant and bold-faced lie and O'Grady knows it, but it is typical anti-Cuban propaganda that saturates the money-crazed and propaganda-obsessed mainstream "news" media in the United States. And the entire world, other than the severely propagandized or intimidated Americans, know that what the likes of Mary Anastasia O'Grady spew out daily in the mainstream U. S. "news" media is propaganda.

    The Trump & Biden administrations took advantage of the ongoing and deadly COVID-19 pandemic to pander to Little Havana extremists to expand the cruel six-decades-old EMBARGO against Cuba into an even crueler and Genocidal BLOCKADE!!! No honest journalist could possibly deny that fact but when rich and powerful media sources such as the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc., etc. use highly paid propaganda-dispensers such as Max Boot, Mary Anastasia O'Grady, etc., etc. to tell blatant and bald-faced lies about genocidal, life-and-death issues as the Cuban Embargo-Blockade, then some U. S. benefactors may be getting richer because of it but, in the LONG run, the USA itself as a nation may be the biggest loser. No great society, however rich it may be, can forever exist when it is blamed by most of the people in the world for the genocide against masses of people in a much-smaller nation...as depicted by the internationally acclaimed Carlos LaTuff Editorial Graphic above!!

Starving Cuba Makes Some US Cubans Rich

 And the Genocide Reaches New Lows in 2021!!

    On Saturday, July 24th-2021 Cuban TV programs, as it has done for days, told the island's people that the drastic uptick in positive COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to set records on the island. The Spanish word for deaths is "fallicidos" and the figures above show that there have been 68 deaths just in the past 24 hours and overall there have now been 2271 deaths on the island. While Americans are told differently, the endless U. S. Embargo of Cuba, began in 1962 and greatly expanded by President Trump into a genocidal Blockade, now contributes mightily and daily to the death totals in Cuba listed above.

   Except for the Little Havana-led Biden administration in Washington and for the Little Havana-led U. S. media, the rest of the governments and the rest of the media in the world are able to tell the truth in July of 2021 about the United States taking advantage of the deadly surge of COVID-19 deaths in Cuba to further EXPAND its already deadly Embargo/Blockade against Cuban families on the island, which appeases a few vicious and unchecked Cubans in Little Havana/Miami who benefit mightily from it.

     Above you can see the first three paragraphs of a long report that Fox News Saturday -- July 24th, 2021 -- showered on its large extreme right-wing audience. It is entitled: "Russian Planes Deliver Massive Loads of Medical Supplies to Cuba." As you read above, Fox News is concerned that Russia  began flying airplanes loaded with vital medical supplies to Cuba to help the people fight the deadly uptick up COVID-19 deaths, especially in the prime cites of Havana and Matanzas. Of course, Fox News has been loudly beating its drums trying to get the Biden administration to continue the genocidal policies of the Trump administration...and especially take advantage of the deadly pandemic on the island to further eviscerate Cubans in Cuba so the Cubans in Miami can regain control of the Caribbean's largest island nation. Fox News, of course, would not tell anyone that Cuba last month was buying some much-needed medical supplies, including syringes, from a Swiss company until THE U. S. GOVERNMENT USED ITS INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POWER TO STOP THE SWISS COMPANY FROM SELLING THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES CUBA NEEDED SO BADLY. But of course, the economic and political power of the Little Havana Cubans in Miami and in Congress not only have Fox News promoting their propaganda and powers but the U. S. government and even the left-wing U. S. media and the left-wing Biden administration are also at the mercy of Little Havana's burgeoning grip on the U. S. government and the U. S. media. Today's propaganda piece by Fox News, as shown above, is merely one example of how genocide can happen!!

    Even extreme left-wing media giants in the U. S. -- including the New York Times and the Washington Times -- also have regular "journalists" who are assigned regularly to tell Americans how great Batista's Mafia-riddled rule of Cuba was before the Cuban Revolution in 1959 chased the Batistianos to Miami-Little Havana. So, for example, study the photo above. Thousands of Americans and Cuban-Americans who OPPOSE genocide against Cuban families on the island wanted the New York Times to tell their side of the story, but the Times refused. So then many of those decent scientists, journalists, doctors, etc. paid for a full-page ad in the Times so they could beg for the United States of America to "LET CUBA LIVE." Of course, that is not likely to happen because too many people in Little Havana won't let it happen. So, what does the photo above show?? It shows a girl in front of the fenced-in U. S. government in Washington holding up that full-paid ad in the New York Times begging the U. S. government to allow Cuban familes live!!

    In the United States, the world's most famed Democracy, only genocidal-minded Cubans are allowed to dominate the narratives and the media. Therefore, Cuban mothers on the island, like the one above as well as their supporters, are dismissed by the U. S. media and the U. S. government at the behest of Little Havana extremists. If allowed, the Cuban mother shown above {and millions like her} would like, on behalf of their children in Cuba, to tell the U. S. government and the U. S. media how much the genocide from the U. S. has hurt three generations of children, especially the current generation. But neither the rich, gutless, and propaganda-obsessed U. S. media nor the money-crazed U. S. government want the world to hear from Cubans like the mother shown above in Cuba who is tasked with trying to prevent the U.S. Embargo-Blockade from killing her children.

     But if you happen to be a rich Cuban in Little Havana, born in Cuba or in the U. S., you can get elected to the U. S. Congress if you have extreme Counter Revolutionary views...but if you have even moderately different views you have no chance in politics in Miami or in Washington. For example, in January of 2021 the Miami-born Maria Elvira Salazar became the latest in a long string of extreme Counter Revolutionary Little Havana Cubans elected to the U. S. Congress. She followed the likes of Havana-born Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Havana-born Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Florida-born Mario Diaz-Balart, Miami-born Marco Rubio, etc. who have or are still representing Little Havana in the U. S. Congress. Non-Counter Revolutionary Cubans, of course, are not among the candidates and surely not among the elected politicians in Miami or in the U. S. Congress. The photo above shows the latest Counter Revolutionary stalwart, Maria Elvira Salazar, elected to Congress by and from Little Havana. As shown above, she uses the national television and print media incessantly 24-hours-a-day it seems to remind Americans how wonderful pre-revolutionary Cuba was prior to 1959 and how wonderful Little Havana Cubans like her have been and are since 1959!! It seems that every hour of July-2021 Congresswoman Maria has been on national TV spewing unchecked Little Havana propaganda. For example she flatly claimed that "There is no Embargo of Cuba" and then she went on to say that the Little Havana Cubans are the ones trying their best to "help" the Cubans on the island. Of course...with the help of the U. S. media...Little Havana Cubans like Maria Elvira Salazar can saturate Americans with whatever they want them to hear...while Cuban mothers on the island well know that the "help" they get from Little Havana is in the form of genocide designed to "starve, deprive, and make them miserable."

      When a few Little Havana Cubans can persuade the U. S. government to take advantage of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic to expand the cruel U. S. Embargo into an even crueler Genocidal Blockade, perhaps, in the LONG run, the United States is in more trouble than the island of Cuba.

       Indeed, when the U. S. government and the U. S. media can make two straight generations of Americans NOT to be ashamed of the worldwide IMAGE OF THE USA DEPICTED ABOVE, then I believe it portends trouble for the USA.

Will Biden Give Havana to Little Havana?

 MAYBE...maybe not!!

      As of today -- Friday, July 23rd, 2021 -- the Revolutionary flag still flies over the troubled Caribbean island of Cuba. Virtually and historically since January of 1959, it has loudly been predicted "that Little Havana in Miami will recapture Havana ANY DAY NOW!!!" But incredibly, every day for 6+ decades that has not happened. The Cuban Revolution shocked the world on Jan. 1-1959 by overthrowing the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship, which then quickly re-evolved in nearby Little Havana, which today is a rich and ultra-powerful USA political force in the heart of Miami. In 1959 the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by overthrowing a powerful dictatorship backed by the world's strongest criminal organization, the Mafia, and by the world's strongest nation, the United States. Thus, the Cuban Revolution's longevity as the rulers of Cuba has been even more ASTOUNDING than its initial victory in 1959.

      But as of today -- July 23rd, 2021 -- the million-to-one odds that Cuba overcame in 1959 are now a billion-to-one odds that revolutionary Cuba will not exist beyond July of 2021!! 

    In America's two-party political system, every Republican administration has powerfully supported the Batista regime in Cuba in the 1950s and, since 1959, powerfully supported Little Havana's herculean efforts to recapture Cuba!! But in all that time every Democratic administration has shown some degree of compassion for the Cuban families in revolutionary Cuba, including the Carter presidency and particularly the two-term Obama presidency. But in 2017 Republican president Donald Trump replaced Obama and then spent the next four years producing 243 Cuban policies or Executive Orders designed to impose genocide on everyday Cuban families. After all, in 1962 -- after Little Havana & the USA had failed to recapture Cuba with the 1961 Bay of Pigs air-land-and-sea attack -- the U. S. legalized an Embargo against Cuba designed to "starve, deprive, and make miserable" Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their own revolutionary government. Of course, the American people didn't know the purpose of the Embargo but long after 1962 de-classified U. S. documents revealed it. But the longest and cruelest Embargo ever imposed by a powerful nation against a much-weaker nation hasn't overthrow revolutionary Cuba, apparently because memories of the Batista dictatorship linger in Cuba if not in the USA.

       Starting in January of 2017, when Trump replaced Obama as President, the U. S. has expanded the cruel Embargo against Cuba to an even crueler Blockade.

         On January 20th of 2021, the day the Democrat Joe Biden replaced the Republican Donald Trump as the President of the United States, many people thought that Biden, who had been Obama's Vice-President for 8 years, would end or at least lessen the genocidal Blockade against Cuban families on the island. But that hasn't and won't happen. Biden's Democratic Party, like Trump's Republican Party, is money-crazed and therefore ultra-rich people -- such as history's all-time richest person Jeff Bezos -- dictate both U. S. political parties, the Republicans and/or the Democrats. Little Havana, to put it mildly, is awash with money and therefore, after dictating Republican policies for decades, now Little Havana also dictates the Democratic policies, at least as far as Cuba is concerned. In that one-sided milieu, the now billion-to-one odds that Little Havava will recapture Havana in these closing days of July-2021 have rampantly energized Little Havana!!!!!!!!! For example:

     Today -- July 23rd, 2021 -- is one of the ongoing jubilant headlines blaring forth from NBC-10, the top source for news in Little Havana. Buoyed by massive Counter Revolutionary demonstrations in both Little Havana and in Cuba since July 11th-2021, and massively buoyed by support of the Biden presidency in Washington, the Miami boaters are supremely and jubilantly convinced that they have the superpower USA's support to take their overthrow to the edge of Havana itself.

Will Biden help Little Havana recapture Havana??

MAYBE...or maybe not.

*&***********************&*

Biden's War on Cuba

 Another Bay of Pigs Or...

Will Little Havana Win This Time??

       One of Little Havana's most powerful political activists in Miami, Sasha Tirador, has long and successfully advocated vigorous Pro-Little Havana politicians and policies that enrich & empower U. S. Cubans while also promoting extremely cruel policies against Cubans on the island. Well, last night {July 21st, 2021} Sasha Tirador got a phone call from President Joe Biden that got Sasha Tirador hilariously HAPPY!!

     Today -- July 22nd, 2021 -- these are the top Headlines in the U. S. regarding Cuba. These headlines explain what made Sasha Tirador in Little Havana so hilariously happy last night when President Biden called her with the news that he was not only keeping former President Trump's genocidal polices against Cuba...but EXPANDING them!!

   The powerful Politico media source in Washington best reported on President Biden's announcement last night, first given to Little Havana zealot Sasha Tirador via a phone call, that his new sanctions on Cuba will finally allow Little Havana to recapture Havana. Even as Tirado was being "briefed" last night by Biden himself, Politico explained Fox News' powerful Sean Hannity was using his entire primetime broadcast from Little Havana to allow only Little Havana extremists such as Senator Marco Rubio to explain yet again to Fox News's large audience how wonderful Batista's Cuba was in the 1950s before the Cuban Revolution in 1959 chased the wonderful Mafiosi-aligned Batistianos to Miami where they quickly created Little Havana, expecting the U. S. would recapture Havana for them within a couple months, which was 6+ decades ago.

     Also Politico, which is no friend of Cuba, today correctly told its millions of readers that Bob Menendez, the long controversial but also long U. S. Democratic Senator from New Jersey, is the dire Counter Revolutionary Cuban-American who is dictating President Biden's genocidal Cuban policies, just as the long controversial Republican U. S. Senator Marco Rubio from Little Havana for the past four years had dictated President Trump's genocidal Cuban policies. For example, Rubio & Trump activated the extremely cruel Title 3/Helms-Burton genocide on everyday Cuban families, and even two-term Republican president George W. Bush refused to activate Title 3 because even Bush knew how genocidal it was. But now Menendez & Biden have continued it!!

     As you can see above, today's {June 22nd} Politico article admitted that it passed its information directly to the Wasington Post, the ultra-powerful anti-Cuba media source that is owned by Jose Bezos, the world's all-time richest person whose step-father Miguel Bezos is a Cuban-born Counter Revolutionary Cuban-American. And as you see above, Politico today named the Washington Post as well as a host of Little Havana zealots who have spent their time in Miami trying desperately to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. Those rich & powerful Counter Revolutionaries are on Cloud 9 after President Biden last night declared he would exceed Trump's genocide against Cubans on the island!!

     As you see above, Politico today again, for what it's worth, revealed that Little Havana's lightweight Senator Marco Rubio dictated President Trump's unchecked genocide against Cuban families. In today's money-crazed/two-party political system, it doesn't matter that the best investigative journalist in Washington and the USA, Ken Silverstein, penned an unchallenged and minutely detailed article in which he started by stating that Marco Rubio is: "Head and shoulders above everyone else in Washington when it comes to corruption, dishonesty and chicanery..." And that includes, of course, a Washington that includes Senator Bob Menendez whom the U. S. Justice Department tried desperately to convict on multiple felony charges and failed because of a hung jury verdict...just before, of course, he was re-elected to yet another 6-year term in the U. S. Senate. Just as the ultra-powerful Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Little Havana have grown rich and powerful in Miami since 1959 and later in Washington, and been able to dictate the USA's cruel and genocidal Cuban policies, the Rubio and Menendez types can remain in the U. S. Senate forever and control the most powerful Committees related to Cuba, such as the Chairmanships of the Senate and House Foreign Relations Committee, etc. Cuba, unfortunately, is a small nation close to Little Havana.

    For four brutal years Rubio dictated President Trump's genocidal Cuban policies just as the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictated Cuban policies in the 1950s, up till 1959's victory by the Cuban Revolution.

     On the heels of the Trump-Rubio genocide against Cuban families on the island, for the past 200 days the Biden-Menendez genocide against Cuban families on the island has been just as bad. In fact, as even Politico revealed in its massive article today -- July 22nd-2021 -- the Biden-Menendez cruelty against Cuban families on the island has been expanded above that of Trump-Rubio. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? 340 million intimidated and propagandized Americans DON'T GIVE A DAMN!!

      For example, two prime promoters of genocide against Cuban families on the island -- Little Havana's Rubio and Fox New's Hannity -- last night used one whole primetime hour from the famed Versailles Restaurant in Little Havana to tell Americans yet again that: {1} Batista's Cuba in the 1950s was the nicest and best government in history; {2} Revolutionary Cuba since 1959 is the worst and most brutal government in history; and {3} therefore the Biden administration should overthrow Revolutionary Cuba this month of July so the great Little Havana Cubans can re-capture Havana from those terrible Cubans!!!

      Of course, most of the world's 8 billion people are outraged by the USA's genocide against Cuban families on the island, especially as Cuba battles mounting deaths from COVID-19 as U. S. Cuban extremists are allowed to take advantage of the pandemic!! Of course, most Cuban-Americans are decent people who are also outraged about U. S. genocide aimed at Cuban families on the island. For example, Carlos Lazo is a Cuban-American professor in Seattle. He and some of his students have ridden their bicycles 3,000 miles from Seattle to Washington to beg Congress and the White House to end its genocide against Cuba. And this month of July-2021 Carlos Lazo is walking the 1300 miles from Miami/Little Havana to Washington to do the same thing!! As you see above, Carlos had made it to Atlanta on July 7th and now he has made it to Richmond. But of course, being a totally decent Cuban-American makes Carlos Lazo ineligible to be heard by the mainstream U. S. media nor is he eligible to be elected to a public office such as the U. S. Congress!!!!

  But, of course, if you are Mendendez or Rubio you can be elected to the U. S. Congress and re-elected to as many 6-year terms as you choose!!!!

     And that is how the United States of America can maintain history's all-time longest and all-time cruelest Embargo ever imposed by a very large nation against people in a very small nation!!

     And that is how, during both the Trump and Biden presidencies, the United States of American can get away with taking advantage of COVID-19 to expand its genocide against Cuban families on the island!!!

Indeed....

Welcome to Little Havana USA!!

Little Havana & Fake News

Emblematic of the Vast Distrust of U. S. Media!!

       In the rich and powerful Little Havana section of Miami, this is the famed Versailles Restaurant. Any national politician seeking Florida's often crucial 29 Electoral Votes must genuflect in Versailles and proclaim their total allegiance to the 6+-decades-effort of the Little Havana Cubans to regain control of Cuba, implying strongly that the former Batista dictatorship was the best and kindest government in the Western Hemisphere's history until the murderous and brutal Cuban Revolution chased the nice Batistianos to Little Havana WAY BACK on January 1st, 1959. Of course, the third premise espoused by Little Havana for the past 6+ decades is that any day now we will be back in Havana as the rulers of Cuba!!!!

    Well, tonight at 9:00 PM -- July 21st, 2021 -- Little Havana's superstar U. S. Senator, Marco Rubio, and Fox News's superstar anchor, Sean Hannity, will host a Town Hall discussion in Little Havana's famed Versailles Restaurant. The entire primetime hour will consist of only, as usual, nothing but extreme right-wing propaganda about how necessary it is for wonderful Little Havana to have the help of the Biden administration to regain control of murderous Revolutionary Cuba here in JULY of 2021!!!

      The most famed Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson -- the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence in 1776 -- famously declared that honest and informative Newspapers...the U. S. media...was the most vital tool related to the preservation of THE U. S DEMOCRACY!!! Were he and the other Founding Fathers alive today in July of 2021, I believe they would be shedding crocodile tears about the depths to which the U. S. media has sunk including recent years. To no one's SURPRISE, in July-2021 a new Gallup Poll, the USA's oldest and most respected pollster, reveals that barely any Americans "trust" anything they see, read, or hear in the mainstream media in the United States today!!! PLEASE, if you are a democracy-loving American, shed a tear for Thomas Jefferson when you study that new Gallup Poll.

        FOR EXAMPLE, the United States has three prime 24-hour cable news networks -- CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. All three have bundles of corporate money and have the wherewithal to gather and dispense real and important news and information to their viewers; but all three make sure their anchors, reporters, and pundits only dispense extreme propaganda -- with CNN and MSNBC only concerned with dispensing extreme left-wing propaganda. And Fox is only concerned with dispensing only extreme right-wing propaganda.

           For example, if you want to sample the depths that the mainstream U. S. media has sunk, at 9:00 P. M. tonight -- on July 21st, 2021 -- dial up the primetime Fox News hour hosted by Sean Hannity. For that hour of extreme but important right-wing propaganda, Hannity -- the Fox superstar -- will be hosting a special program from the famed Versailles Restaurant in the Little Havana section of Miami. His prime guest, of course, will be Little Havana's superstar U. S. Senator Marco Rubio. The prime purpose of the program tonight is to continue to fan the flames to persuade the Biden administration to take advantage of Little Havana's current latest exalted effort to overthrow Havana, which has been ongoing since January of 1959 when the Cuban Revolution defeated the brutal U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba. Thus, tonight's entire special RUBIO-HANNITY hour on Fox News -- July 21st -- will only air the extreme views of self-serving Little Havana zealots such as Rubio, and those views will demand that the superpower United States finally recapture Cuba on behalf of the rich and politically powerful Little Havana Cubans.
