Biden Affirms CUBA as a Terrorist Nation

       Today -- on May 23rd-2023 -- the ultra-powerful anti-Cuban media in the U. S. -- such as Nora Gamez Torres of the Miami Herald -- are loudly heralding the fact that Cuba is being left on the very short U. S. list of Terrorist Nations.
           Above on May 23rd-2023 is the booming headline in the Miami Herald celebrating the Biden administration's decision to keep Cuba on the U. S. List of Terrorist Nations -- along with Iran, North Korea, and Syria. This is the latest Nora Gamez Torres article in the Miami Herald heralding how nice the Batista-Mafia rule of Cuba was in the 1950s in stark contrast to how terrible the Cuban Revolution has ruled the Caribbean nation since 1959.
        In rejoicing over the Biden administration's decision to keep Cuba on the Terror List, today's Miami Herald article explained that Cubans in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood such as Maria Elvira Salazar are sent to the U. S. Congress in Washington to make sure that Little Havana dictates the USA's Cuban policies. Note the third paragraph above in which Nora Gamez Torres gives credit to Maria Elvira Salazar for keeping Cuba on the U. S. List of Nation's that Sponsor Terrorism.
The photo above shows Little Havana's control of USA Cuban policy.
     Since 1959 Little Havana in Miami has dictated the U. S. Cuban policies as rich and politically powerful Cubans flourish while making sure their adopted nation, the United States, enforces such things as history's longest and cruelest economic EMBARGO ever imposed by any powerful nation against any much-weaker nation.
This U. S. EMBARGO has existed since 1962.
     The two-Party U. S. political system -- Republican and Democratic parties -- now agree on extremely punitive Cuban policies, meaning that things such as the six-decade-old Embargo remains as viable in May of 2023 as it was when it started back in February of 1962. Republican President Donald Trump put Cuba on the Sponsors of Terrorist List at the very end of his 4-year stint as President in January of 2021. When that month of January of 2021 when Democratic President Joe Biden replaced Donald Trump, many believed President Biden would surely take Cuba off the Terror List. But now it is the end of May of 2023 and President Biden's administration has just stroingly announced its desire to keep Cuba on the very short Sponsor's of Terrorism List.
      So, YES, at the end of May-2023 the headlines say: Cuba Still Remains On the US Terrorism List. It doesn't matter that the United Nations and the vast majority of people in the U. S. and in the world disagree with Cuba being listed as one of the world's four Sponsors of Terrorism along with Iran, North Korea, and Syria. But, of course, what does matter is Little Havana in Miami wants Cuba on that pernicious list.
           And thus on May 23rd of 2023 the blazing Miami Herald headline heralding Cuba being continued on the U. S. SPONSORS of Terrorism List shows that Republicans like Trump and Democrats like Biden agree that both Parties in the USA's two-party political system are puppets of Little Havana USA.
Welcome to the USA's Cuban Elites.
      But not far from Little Havana-Miami there are Cuban mothers like Arianny Tellez, who was born in Guantanamo and still lives there working as a popular journalist. From her home Arianny can see the infamous U. S. Guantanamo Military Base that dominates the southeast end of Cuba. Arianny says, "Like all mothers, I want to live in peace and take care of my family. All my life, even all of my mother's life, I have faced the wrath of nearby Cuban Americans who live just to the north of us. We don't deserve that, but for generations that is just the way it is."
    In Guantanamo, Cuba, that is Arianny Tellez in the center of this photo holding her son as she proudly shows off other members of her extended family. Despite living her entire life facing sanctions and embargoes and blockades from a foreign Superpower that happens to be the nearby United States, Arianny has carved out the best possible life for herself and her son. Perhaps the most amazing thing about Arianny is the fact that she doesn't "dislike a single soul" in Little Havana USA.

Miami Media Indicates Overthrow of Cuba is Happening!!

 At last...in mid-MAY of 2023??

    Since the astounding overthrow of the U.S.-backed/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship by the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the media in nearby Miami/Little Havana-USA has loudly proclaimed that Revolutionary Cuba will be overthrown "any day now!!" Well -- come hell & high water as well as things such as military/terrorist attacks and endless Embargoes/Blockades, etc. -- the long-awaited overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba hasn't happened. Yet...today, on May 11th of 2023, the Miami media is very loudly surgesting that, at last, overthrowing the Cuban Revolution is actually taking place. As shown above, the Cuban expert/journalist Hatzel Vela at Miami's ABC-Channel 10 is reporting on a new "Cuba Crisis" that might finally result in the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba.
     Since 1903, after winning the 1898 Spanish-American War to become the new imperalist power controlling Cuba, the U. S. has maintained a powerful military base on the eastern tip of Cuba at Guantanamo Bay. Interesting enough, the little Cuban town of Caimanera, which borders the U.S. military base, is where reports in the Miami media maintain that "violent Protests" are portending the demise of Revolutionary Cuba.
     Above is the long-awaited news that Cuba-obsessed Miami-Little Havana citizens are being told by ABC-10 News. The prospect of the emminent demise of Revolutionary Cuba makes hearts in Miami-Little Havana flutter awesomely.
        It is being reported in Miami that the "violence" taking place in the tiny town of Caimanera right next to the U. S. Guantanamo Military Base is expected to spread across the island, all the way northwest to Havana 500 miles away on the western tip of the island.
     As ABC-10 News and other media in Miami-Little Havana are reporting, the top "resistance" leaders in Cuba and in Miami are more than determined than ever to ignite the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba. And for sure, perhaps this time the Perfect Storm of circumtances -- including some blackouts and some starvation on the island exacerbated by the tightening of the six-decade-old U. S. Embargo/Blockade is fueling what the Miami media is reporting as the latest "crisis" in Cuba.
      Of course, it is apparently no coincidence that the Protests that are supposedly about to result in the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba flamed up in the little Cuban town of Caimanera that borders the powerful United States Military Base at Guantanamo, Cuba.
     The top CNN Cuban expert/journalist Partick Oppmann used the headline above to report on the "protests" in the little town of Caimanera next to the USA's Guantanamo Military Base.
    Yes, in mid-May of 2023 the rich and politically powerful citizens of Little Havana USA in Miami are keeping their eyes on what's happening in the poor little Cuban town of Caimanera.

Will Cuba Survive the Month of May-2023?

 MAYBE...MAYBE NOT!!

     Every now and then in May of 2023 a tourist anxious to spend money in Cuba actually arrives in Cuba lured by the island's legendary beauty as well as its unique and historical intrigue, its fine-turned 1950s-era convertible cars, its world-class beaches, etc. But tourism in Cuba is rare...because the U. S. Embargo/Blockade for the past six decades, since 1962, is designed to starve Cuba's economy, which includes stifling Tourism!
     Today on May 5th of 2023 even the London-based worldwide Reuters News Agency, normally one of the world's few media sources that reports fairly and accurately about Cuba, seems to be predicting the demise of Revolutionary Cuba. The Reuters headlines/captions/articles/photos today -- May 5th, 2023 -- are all about Revolutionary Cuba's impending doom, as shown above.
     Meanwhile today -- on May 5th, 2023 -- the Cuban  media, as shown above, is using its strong television, print, and social media presence to paint a positive image of today's massive support of the 64-year-old Revolution that shocked the world in 1959 by overthrowing the powerful Batista dictationship that was powerfully and lucratively supported by the world's strongest nation, the U. S., and by the world's strongest criminal organization, the Mafia. In fact, the world since 1959 has been even more SURPRISED that the Revolution has ruled Cuba these last six+ decades!!!!!!! The smiles shown above today -- on May 5th, 2023 -- by Revolutionary supporters seem to be both genuine and hopeful. Perhaps...that means Revolutionary Cuba will survive at least through May 5th of 2023.
    While the U. S. and international media claims that Cuba did not celebrate May Day-2023 on May 1st as is customary, it was celebrated today on May 5th, 2023...as loudly and lavishly shown today by Cuba's media. "Trabajadores" means "workers."
      Revolutionary icon Raul Castro, who turned 91 back in April, led today's May Day parade on May 5th as he stood beside Cuba's current President and two top Vice Presidents.
      But make no mistake about the fact that Cuba in May of 2023 is still Fidel Castro's Cuba, although he died of old age in 2016 at age 90. His Revolution has survived since 1959 because of him...and if it survives the Month of May in 2023 it will also be because of Fidel Castro.
      And today's May Day celebration along Havana's famed Malecon tried to prove that Fidel Castro's Cuba will survive the Month of May in 2023.
     But regardless of whether or not Revolutionary Cuba survives the month of May in the year of 2023, history must register the fact that the Cuban Revolution in 1959 remains the all-time most shocking revolution in history and also JUST SURVIVING the U. S. EMBARGO since 1962 remains the all-time most amazing thing any Revolution has ever accomplished in the annals of history.

Cuba Unhappy With Venezuela and USA

     Today is May 2, 2023 and the image above shows the start of a key Newscast in Cuba. It began by loudly denouncing the U. S. "BLOCKADE of Cuba and Venezuela." It was explaining to the Cuban people why the normally hugely celebrated May Day Parade was cancelled yesterday. The prime reason for the cancellation was the long lines at gas stations that are out of gas, which the Cuban media blames on the "U. S. blockade of Cuba and Venezuela."
 

     Yesterday -- May 1st, 2023 -- Cuba made international headlines when it cancelled its May Day Parade in Havana that normally drew up to a million celebrants to celebrate the 1959 victory over the U.S.-backed/Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. The cancellation was deemed necessary this year because the U. S. Embargo/Blockade of the island, which began in 1962, is finally and totally devastating Cuba's fragile economy.
   Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel further surprised international observers as well as the Cuban people by criticizing Venezuela for "selling its best oil to the United States while not living up to its full fulfillment of its promise to us."
     The famed professor at the Universitiy of Texas Jorge R. Pinon, the notable economist and top expect on Cuba's economy, seems to concur with what President Diaz-Canel told his Cuban people, as reported by the London-based The Guardian.
     Above Professor Jorge Pinon said, "Hungry for crude after sanctioning Russian oil and gas, Washington last November issued Chevron a license to export Venezuelan petroleum to the US for the first time in years." In thus easing its sanctions on Venezuela, the U. S. further stopped Cuba from getting its vital supply of oil from its longest and best friend --- Venezuela.
    The death of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez because of cancer in 2013 remains a devastating {and possibly fatal blow} to Revolutionary Cuba. As the powerful leader of oil-rich Venezuela, Hugo Chavez idolized Cuba's revolutionary icon  Fidel Castro, who repeatedly proclaimed that Chavez was "Cuba's best FRIEND."
      "We lost our best friend." When Hugo Chavez died in 2013, Fidel Castro himself wrote the article shown above for Cuba's Prensa Latina News Agency that led the tribute to the loss of Hugo Chavez.
     For sure, since the deaths of Hugo Chavez in 2013 and of Fidel Castro in 2016 -- as the Bloomberg News Agency reported above -- Venezuela has had "DUELING PRESIDENTS." Since 2013 Nicolas Maduro has been Venezuela's hand-picked President but the last two U. S. presidents -- Trump and Biden -- support and consider opposition leader Juan Guaido the real Venezuelan President. Thus in the new month of May in 2023 Cuba is the biggest loser in the USA's vaccilating relationship with oil-rich Venezuela, a Venezuela without Cuba's dear friend HUGO CHAVEZ!!!
     In this first week of May-2023, poor little Cuba is wedged precariously between the mighty United States and oil-rich Venezuela. Before the deaths of revolutionary strongmen Hugo Chavez {2013} and Fidel Castro {2016}, somehow Cuba survived history's longest and cruelest economic blockade ever imposed by a powerful nation against a much-weaker nation. But...After the deaths of Chavez and Fidel Castro, it appears that Revolutionary Cuba in May of 2023 is finally doomed.
