Today -- on July 1st of 2023 -- the two photos above show a popular CVI-Cubavision International journalist reporting all the way from China {and on Social Media} this historic fact: "The story goes that the Great Wall of China was built to protect the borders from attacks..." On this first day of July-2023, these two photos document basic and updated facts regarding the blistering Cuba-US-China conundrum.
And now study above the Top Four Cuban Headlines flashing around the World and around the United States today -- July 1st, 2023. Note that three 3 of the 4 headlines continue the extreme anti-Cuba reporting that ties Cuba to spy bases/military bases purportedly being installed by China & Russia in Cuba by the USA's two greatest threats/competitors. For the past 64 years powerful and fierce Counter Revolution Cubans in the U. S. have promoted countless excuses to entice the U. S. to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba, so on July 1st-2023 are the headlines above apart of that situation?? But also...note that, in this milieu, the huge headline on the Top-Left {above} heralds this news: "Cuban Castaway Elian Gonzalez Becomes A Lawmaker." WOW!!!
This photo from Ramon Espinosa/NBC/AP shows the 29-year-old Elian Gonzalez as he looks in Havana on July 1st, 2023. He is now married to his childhood sweetheart and is a loving parent. Recently, yes, he has been elected to the Cuban parliament.
This photo taken on April 22nd of 2000 by the Associated Press's Alan Diaz remains one of the most famous photos in the annals of history. It shows the 5-year-old Elian Gonzalez being rescued from a closet in Miami-Little Havana by a heavily armed U. S. Marshall, making the image above immortal and making Elian the most famous child in the world during that news cycle. The famed rescue, of course, allowed Elian's father Juan Gonzalez to return the terrified child back to Cuba. It, of course, was a monumental defeat for Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami-Little Havana but one of the rare victories in the past 64 years over Miami-Little Havana for Fidel Castro, Havana, and Cuba. Just for the record, below you can see how the huge July 1st-2023 article by NBC/Associated Press both rehashed and updated the historic rescue of Elian Gonzalez from that closet in Miami-Little Havana. In the first paragraph below you can read what the now 29-year-old Elian said "during an exclusive interview with The Associated Press." Then in the last two paragraphs notice how the AP, by far the top News Agency in the U. S., rehashed and updated on July 1st of 2023 the 2000 rescue OF Elian AT AGE 5.
And as you read above the topical and historic history of the Elian Gonzalez saga, please note that U.S.-Cuba Relations are indeed Historic but also TOPICAL. Thus remember that The Cuban Missile Crisis in October of 1962 remains to this day the closest the world has come to a nuclear holocaust!!
And, most OF all, remember that The Cuban Missile Crisis way back in 1962 concerned just newly produced nuclear missiles from two powers, the U. S. and the Soviet Union. Now in July of 2023 there are a lot of nations that have ultra-modern nuclear missiles, especially Russia, China, and the United States. In other words, 2023 nuclear missles massively stockpiled by Russia, the U. S., and China are many times more powerful than the 1962 Soviet-US missiles that massively scared the entire world!!! Amazingly, little Cuba in October of 1962 was the catalyst between the U. S. and the Soviet Union and in July of 2023 little Cuba again is being made into the catalyst between the nuclear-powerful U. S. against the nuclear-powerful Russia and China. Hopefully cool & intelligent decisions Will Prevail!!!
