BBC Updates US Blockade's Punishment of Cuban Children

Please Study the Two Photos Below!! 

     The two photos above and six other similar photos like them were taken by Natalia Favre and all eight of them were used to illustrate an article written by Natalia Favre that was sent around the world by the worldwide reach of the London-based BBC News. The article graphically reports the punishment the U. S. economic Embargo/Blockade has eked out to generations of children in Cuba sinced 1962, including the two Little Girls shown above. While brilliant journalists/photographers such as Natalia Favre are truthfully reporting from Cuba on the prime victims of the endless U. S. sanctions against Cuba, Americans are still being told by propagandists in the Little Havana-aligned Miami Herald, the Jose Bezos-own Washington Post, etc., how wonderful the U.S.-backed Batista dictatorship was in the 1950s and how terrible Cuba has been since 1959 when the Cuban Revolution overthrew Batista and spawned rich & powerful Little Havana in nearby Miami.

   As an honest and brilliant journalist, photographer, documentarian, and filmmaker covering Latin America, Natalia Favre has used the worldwide coverage of BBC News to update the unconscionable punishment another generation of children in Cuba are receiving as the endless U. S. Embargo/Blockade of the Caribbean island flourishes into its Sixth Decade. While Americans routinely get their Cuban news from propaganda sources catering to Miami and Washington opinions that justify the extreme cruelty of the endless Embargo/Blockade, real honest and brilliant journalists such as Natalia Favre tell the world about the prime victims of such self-serving Miami/Washington decisions. So, Please...take just a moment to study the photos below as Natalia Favre tells the world about the prime victims of the cruel, endless Embargo/Blockade that the U. S. has imposed on Cuba since 1962.

    As Natalia Favre reminds us, as far as we know these Little Cuban Girls never harmed anyone in Miami or Washington.

Blockaded For Six+ Decades Pains Cubans

 As It Is SUPPOSED To Pain Them!!

     Fine-tuned convertibles parked in Havana in April of 2023. The most interesting thing about them is that they were built in the 1950s in the United States when the United States had great trade and tourist relations with Cuba's Batista-Mafia dictatorship. When these cars were new in the 1950s, the Batistianos, the Mafia, and rich U. S. businessmen were raking in fortunes in Cuba. 

   Now in April in 2023 the London-based Reuters News giant is {above} updating the pain that the U. S. Blockade/Embargo inflicts daily on Cubans, as it has been designed to do since February of 1962. The purpose of the economic assault, for over six decades, has been to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans in Cuba to cause them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary Government, which overthrew the Batista/Mafia rule of Cuba on January 1, 1959. For over six decades the U. S. Embargo and other drastic efforts hasn't been able to overtrow Revolutionary Cuba, but now in April of 2023 the rich and powerful Counter Revolutinary zealots in the U. S. continue to see signs that it is about to happen any day now, as major articles from Havana such as the Reuters report reveal!!

     As Reuters explains in early April-2023, Venezuela "has ramped up oil supply to Cuba since early 2023" but it is not enough and also "Venezuela's supply in recent months has barely included clean refined products, especially gasoline and diesel." In other words, after six+ decades of its existence, the three prime purposes of the U. S. economic Embargo/Blockade of Cuba remain exactly the same: One day soon Miami and the United States believe that starving, depriving, and making miserable everyday Cubans will cause them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary Government that has, against all odds, survived since January 1, 1959.

Miami to London courts sue unrepresented Cuba

SO WHAT? 

    A notable Caribbean photographer named Tonalli Ambar took the photo above right after a rainstorm had just drenched this Havana street and its 1950s-era cars. When the rain stopped this tourist resumed her walking tour of the Caribbean's most famous capital city. Soooooo...the point is...this photo is a rarity from Havana because it doesn't demean Cuba nor does it show disrespect for the Cuban people on the island. All it shows...is a glimpse of Cuba at a moment of time in April of 2023.

      Meanwhile today -- on April 5th, 2023 -- the Cuban Headlines, as shown above, mostly reflect only how wonderful the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship was in Cuba in the 1950s and how terrible the U.S.-hated Revolutionary Cuba has been since January 1, 1959. The CNBC News Headline shown above, for example, blares this news on April 5-2023: "CUBA'S LOSSES IN CASE OF CASTRO-ERA DEBT OPEN IT UP TO MORE LAWSUITS."  In other words...64 years after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution captured Havana and created Little Havana USA in Miami, courtrooms in Miami and even London can sue unrepresented Cuba for virtually whatever they want to sue Cuba for...including money. The above CNBC article this first week of April-2023 is a huge USA report about a courtroom in London trying to squeeze the Cuban lemon for whatever money remains that can possibly be still "legally squeezed" out of the besieged island.

    Above you can see a small piece of the CNBC News Report in the U. S. that informs Americans and the World on April 5th-2023 that a courtroom in London is squeezing the Cuban lemon when, as always, Cuba is unrepresented but high-priced lawyers hostile to Cuba are salivating as if they are shooting fish in an undefended bucket. The article, of course, doesn't explain that U. S. courts, especially in Miami, have sued unrepresented Cuba since 1962, the year the U. S. Embargo against Cuba began, and especiallly since 1996, the year that Little Havana USA in Miami orchestrated the extremely punitive {for Cuba} and extremely lucrative {for Little Havana USA} Congressional Bill known as the Helms-Burton Act, the extremely punitive-lucrative U. S. law that remains extremely legal to this day.

Little Havana USA has existed since 1959.

The Helms-Burton Bill has existed since 1996.

    Yes, "With the Helms-Burton Act, the U. S. sought to asphyxiate the Cuban economy..." The truth is...early in 1996 the Democratic U. S. President Bill Clinton had let it be known that he was about to ease the U. S. Embargo against Cuba, but he misjudged the power in Washington of Little Havana USA. Thus, President Clinton became the President that signed the Helms-Burton Act into law. But please study the scared and defeated expression that President Clinton couldn't hide right after he signed the Act into law. He was looking up at Bob Menendez while, as he well knew, peering down at the back of President Clinton's head was Lincoln Diaz-Balart. The day in 1996 when he signed the Helms-Burton Act into law, the reluctant and scared President Clinton could only wish that he had as much power as Menendez and Diaz-Balart.

     A Captivating History of Cuba can appropriately include the Skull & Bones attached to the Helms-Burton Act since the reluctant President Clinton signed it into law in 1996.

      But in April of 2023 neither the United States of America nor the masses of Cubans on their island can smile about the Helms-Burton Act that so easily and powerfully has been legal since 1996. So who does smile about it? Just Little Havana USA?

A Cuban Trying to keep Cubans From Starving

 Loved in Cuba; Hated in the USA!!

     Today is April 3rd-2023. The image above was taken from statewide Cuban Television News today. Tamara Cobas is a very strong Cuban lady and Cubans in Cuba have come to believe every word she tells them. Of course, because Tamara has devoted her life to try to keep Cubans in Cuba from starving to death because of the six-decade-old economic Blockade, every word that she says is deemed a lie by the mainstream media in the United States. Tamara is the leader at the Port of Vita in Holguin, Cuba. Above Tamara is directing and keenly observing a massive shipment of rice that will spread over the entire island and help keep Cubans in Cuba from starving.

Thanks to Tamara Cobas, this shipment of rice is being trucked all across the island of Cuba today -- April 3rd-2023. And meanwhile, Americans are told that Tamara is a liar and criminal because she has devoted her life to trying to make sure that Cubans don't starve because of the U. S. Blockade.

       A brilliant and determined lady, Tamara Cobas today is doing what she has done all of her adult life, which is to help Cubans in Cuba survive what history already labels the longest and cruelest economic embargo ever imposed by any powerful nation against any much-weaker nation.

     As shown above, Cubans in Cuba today are listening and watching what Tamara Cobas is saying and doing: "A few years have passed since Tamara Cobas Columbre made the decision of her life and every day she is convinced that she was not wrong..." Etc., etc.

        A powerful Cuban in Cuba, Tamara Cobas, today called history's longest and cruelest Embargo to be "wrong." Almost all of the rest of the world agrees with her on April 3rd, 2023. Yet, it has existed for six decades...and counting.

US-Cuba Relations Don't Mention Blockade

Because Little Havana Dictates It? 

     Since the Cuban Revolution overthrew the US-backed Batista DICTATORSHIP in January of 1959, US-Cuban Relations have been dictated by rich and politically powerful Counter Revolutionary Cubans in the Miami neighborhood known as Little Havana USA.

     Sixty-four years after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution spawned Little Havana USA in nearby Miami, today is March 30th of 2023. And today the Cuban Headlines, as shown above, reveal that the mainstream U. S. media continues to support and propagandize Little Havana USA's endless efforts to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. Above, typically, today the Cuban headlines in the U. S. come from...Fox News, CNN, USA Today, NBC News, Miami Herald, and the Jose Bezos-owned Washington Post.

     For six decades Little Girls Born in Cuba, at least the ones that didn't end up in Little Havana, have tried to survive in the throes of history's longest and cruelest Embargo/Blockade ever imposed by any powerful nation against a much-weaker nation.

     Meanwhile, while the great Brazilian editorial cartoonist Carlos LaTuff and billions of other people around the world are ashamed of this image of the United States, the mainstream U. S. media is not  ashamed.

    But I agree with Carlos LaTuff and billions of other people around the world, Rosy-checked girls born in Cuba since 1959 should not be Punished all their lives because Miami & Little Havana Cubans don't like them.

Uh, Cuba Holds Routine Elections

 

      It happens that Cuba's latest nationwide election evokes vivid memories in the U. S. media of this historic photo that flashed around the world on April 22nd of 2000. The graphic photo shows the 6-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez being rescued from a Miami closet by a heavily-armed U. S. Marshall so the terrified little boy could return to Cuba with his father.

     Some 23 years after 6-year-old Elian Gonzalez left that Miami closet and returned to Cuba, today -- March 28th-2023 -- the U. S. media is awash with Cuban headlines about Elian Gonzalez being elected to the Cuban parliament in the island's latest national elections. Note that today's CNN headline loudly wonders: "What Elian Gonzalez wants for Cuba?" It also seems to wonder Why Elian hasn't fled back to Little Havana in Miami where his memories of that closet remind him of how wonderful Little Havana Cubans treated him?

  To answer CNN, it appears that the adult Elian Gonzalez wants Little Havana in Miami to allow the U. S. government to permit Cubans in Cuba like him to rule Cuba...not Cubans in Miami!!!

      In fact, as you see above, Elian Gonzalez spoke directly to CNN and said he wants this: "That our governments reach an understanding and remove all the barriers between us. Our country doesn't have any sanctions on the United States."

     In the second paragraph above, CNN was honest enough to say: "Gonzalez spoke with CNN after going to vote on Sunday with his wife and their two-year-old daugher in Cardenas, which, like many small cities in Cuba, has been ravaged by economic calamity; harsher US sanctions, the sluggish pace of reforms by the communist-run government, a pandemic that scared off tourists and inflation that has made state salaries nearly worthless."

      And in the third paragraph above, CNN was honest enough to allow Elian Gonzalez to say: "Having a daughter, Gonzalez said, gave him a new perspective on the decisions his own father Juan Manuel made when in 1999 Elian's mother drowned after attempting...to take the dangerous journey by boat across the Florida Straits. It's helped me to understand my father. It's made me more sensitive. It's helped me understand how all the Cubans feel who are separated from their families, and fathers who aren't able to give all the attention and things their children want."

     The two above photos show Elian Gonzalez and his childhood sweetheart that became his wife in Revolutionary Cuba. Their little baby girl shown above is the event that, as Elian told CNN, that reminded him anew how correct his father and Fidel Castro and the U. S. government were when they fought so hard to rescue him from that Little Havana closet in Miami way back on April 22nd, 2000. The CNN report today about Elian getting elected to the Cuban parliament is, actually, one of the rare examples of the U. S. media reporting fairly about a major U. S. event, not just propaganizing about how wonderful the Batista-Mafia-US rule of Cuba was in the 1950s and how terrible the Cuban Revolution's rule of Cuba has been since 1959.

    But, folks, the above article via CNN this last week in March of 2023, amazingly, is perhaps the most honest journalism that the mainstream U. S. media has produced about U.S.-Cuban  Relations since 1959. Normally since 1959 all such perspectives reflect only the opinions of Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami. But in this aforementioned article, CNN actually included the opinions of a prominent Cuban in Cuba, the 29-year-old politician named Elian Gonzalez. So Americans know, for example, that Elian actually believes that Cubans in Havana, not Cubans in Miami's Little Havana, should rule Cuba.
