Cuba Plans TO SURVIVE The U. S. Embargo

 With the Strongest Effort Since 1962!!

     Today -- on September 14th, 2023 -- the Cuban people are being told that President Diaz-Canel is launching the most extensive effort in the island's revolutionary history to survive the U. S. EMBARGO that began in 1962 to strangle Cuba's economy by strangling the Cuban people to enduce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government that had overthrown the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in 1959. President Diaz-Canel's massive approach to combat it in mid-September of 2023 includes Havana hosting what Diaz-Canel calls "Cuba G77 * 2023", which begins tomorrow in the Cuban capital. The images shown below reveal what inspired Diaz-Canel to devise Cuba G77 and it was Cuba's massive support at the recent BRICS Summit in South Africa led by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa but also included 72 other important nations that also displayed strong support for Cuba's efforts to end the endless U. S. EMBARGO. On his way to the BRICS Summit Diaz-Canel stopped off in five other countries and was greeted with red-carpet receptions, which surprised President Diaz-Canel...and inspired this weekend's Cuba G77 * 2023. Some of the photos below show some of the foreign leaders arriving in Havana since last night and some show Diaz-Canel's red-carpet treatment on the way to the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg:

      Perhaps the President of Mozambique, FILIPE NYUSI, made the comment that inspired Cuba's President Diaz-Canel the most: "As Africa's most famed and most beloved Nelson Mandela said, three dozen African nations owe Cuba for their shedding the yoke of colonial imperialism and gaining our independence. Now in 2023 we need to help Cuba shed the yoke of the U. S. strangulation of Cuba's economy, a process that the world has cowardly allowed to exist for senseless decades."  

      Thus this weekend -- September 15th & 16th, 2023 -- Cuba is hosting a CUBA G77* 2023 Summit in Havana. President Filipe Nyusi of Mozamibique, and others leaders, hope the gathering will help convince the United States to finally end its EMBARGO of Cuba that has existed since 1962.

The US Is Perfect, Cuba Is The Opposite!!!

 The Daily Refrain of the US Media!!

     Today is Wednesday, September 12th, 2023. As usual in the United States the Media today reminds Americans that revolutionary Cuba is the worst nation in the world and that its leaders spend most of their time torturing and killing their citizens that disagree with them. Such blazing headlines/articles are a prime reason that history's worst and longest economic Embargo/Blockade of a small nation -- since 1962 till TODAY -- has existed for over three decades. The article shown above Today is in The Hill, a powerful Washington-based media source. It is written by Arturo McFields and, as shown above, it seems to show that Cuba routinely tortures and kills its citizens, implying that back in the 1950s when the brutal and theiving Batista dictatorship that ran roughshod but gloriously over the island that the Batista-Mafia-US rule of the island was wonderful fun and didn't deserve a revolution to change things. As a Democracy-loving American who has been to Cuba and purposely spent time, including sleepovers, with everyday Cuban families, I believe that the U. S. Media should sometimes balance out such unbiased articles such as Today's The Hill updated and normal damnation of Cuba with comments from Cubans in Cuba, especially someone that knows both Batista's Cuba and Revolutionary Cuba extremely well.

    Cuba's long-time Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, for example, is well-respected by many U. S. journalists as he has for decades represented Revolutionary Cuba at the UN in New York and around the world. His reaction to articles such as the one in The Hill today is just as important and poignant as the damnable views Bruno monitors in the US Media regularly.

    An everyday Cuban in Cuba, the Grandmother of this little girl and little boy, has opinions too and she expresses them often in Social Media platforms. She knows all about the US-beloved Batista's Cuba  and since 1959 she has lived in US-hated Revolutionary Cuba, and that Grandmother's opinions should be considered by the US Media that seems only to consider the opinions of those who have fond memories of Batista's Cuba and sheer hatred of Revolutionary Cuba. In that milieu, the Grandmother in Cuba in September of 2023 that wants Cuba to Live has opinions that are supported by most Grandmothers and Mothers all around the world in 2023!!!!

     Although Americans who depend on the US Media would not realize it, most citizens of the entire world are ashamed about "The impact of US Sanctions on the Cuban population and women's lives" and most citizens of the entire world believe that masses of vulnerable and innocent citizens in small nations deserve the "RIGHT TO LIVE WITHOUT A BLOCKADE" imposed generation-after-generation by a much stronger and richer nation.

    Yes, today -- on September 13th, 2023 -- Cuba's veteran Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez read and then commented about what The Hill in Washington published about Cuba: "I have lived a long time in Cuba and I have worked in the United States on behalf of the Cuban people, including at the United Nations. I once admired the U. S. media but it now shames both Cuba and the U. S. daily with extreme one-sided propaganda. If I told such lies to the Cuban people, I assure you that I would have been reprimanded by them severely. It amazes me that, in order to justify such disasters as the U. S. blockade of Cuba, the U. S. media on a daily basis lies to the American people...and that the American people, also to my surprise, are supposed to believe it. Yet today I have this poll from the well-respected Gallup Poll that shows 80% or more of the American people 'don't trust the U. S. media' but I guess they have enough money and enough government support to continue their lies as long as they choose. Meanwhile, another generation of Cuban familes suffer needlessly from such lies."

Why Does US Hate Cuba But Loves Vietnam???

   For the past two days -- September 10th-11th, 2023 -- U. S. President Joe Biden has been in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.  Today my local newspaper, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, had this front-page Headline: "Biden touts strong ties with country" and this sub-Headline: "Outreach to Hanoi about global stability." While President Biden makes a warm visit to communist Vietnam, Cubans in Cuba wonder why the U. S., which lost the long and bloody Vietnam War in Vietnam, now loves faraway Vietnam so much while hating nearby Cuba so much. Indeed, Vietnam in 2023 is sending shiploads of rice to Cuba because Vietnam, like most other nations around the world, feels sorry for three generations of Cubans in Cuba that have been starved, deprived, and made miserable by the U. S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba that began in February of 1962 and which Cuba believes has been tightened recently by both the Trump and Biden administrations in Washington.

     Above are headlines that reveal that Vietnam, the Asian communist nation that the U. S. loves, is direly worried about Cubans in Cuba being starved by the endless U. S. Embargo/Blockade if Cuba. Thus...Vietnam is sending as much rice to Cuba as it can, knowing that rice is Cuba's prime food.

       And so...on September 11th of 2023 it is understandable to Cubans that their northern neighbor, the superpower United States, is tightening its cruel EMBARGO that is designed to starve the Cuban economy and thus starve the Cuban people...while the U. S. is loving communist Vietnam that is a strong U. S. trading partner.

    In the 1960s and 1970s the U. S. fought and lost the bloody Vietnam War, at one point having hundreds of thousands of U. S. soldiers in the conflict while also dropping a vast number of bombs on Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. But the North Vietnam communists won the war on April 30th in 1975 when they captured the ancient capital city of Saigon that since 1975 has been unnamed as the entire nation became united under communist rule with Ho Chi Minh City in the south and Hanoi in the north becoming Vietnam's two prime cities. The map above shows Vietnam borders communist China, which is the top economic and military rival of the United States.

    Meanwhile, in Havana today -- September 11, 2023 -- this photo shows a Cuban father brushing his son's hair before he heads off to school. While Americans are not supposed to ask why the U. S. loves Vietnam so much and hates Cuba so much, this Cuban father in Havana does ask such questions.

   Just a few days ago the BRICS Summit was held in Johannesburg, South Africa. BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. But, as shown above, it included 72 other nations and all 77 expressed strong support for Cuba.

     On his way to the BRICS Summit, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel received red-carpet welcomes in nations such as Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, etc.

     Presidents Diaz-Canel of Cuba and Zi of China solidified their friendships at the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg and the overall support shown for Cuba by all the 77 nations in attendance inspired Diaz-Canel to create something he calls "G77 + China Summit" that will be held this coming weekend, on September 15th and 16th, 2023. Back in Havana from his recent trips, Diaz-Canel said, "I want the Cuban people to know that only the United States is trying to suppress our development, and we want to be friends with the United States too. That remains our hope."

   On Social Media and on their modern television and radio stations across their island, Cubans voice their wonderment in September of 2023 about why the last two U. S. presidents -- Biden and Trump -- have tightened the U. S. Embargo against Cuba that had "already been tight" since 1962. Biden just visited faraway Vietnam and said some wonderful things; Trump visited faraway North Korea, where the U. S. lost another bloody war in the 1950s, and said some nice things. But neither Biden nor Trump would dare visit Cuba nor dare to say anything nice about Cuba, or even explain why a nation like Vietnam feels it has to donate tons of rice to keep Cuban families from starving because of the six-decade-old U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE of the vulnerable island nation that is the U. S.'s neighbor.

     Except for the United States, it seems that all other nations and all other Human Rights Organizations around the world believe that Cubans in Cuba HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE WITHOUT A BLOCKADE.

US Media Promotes Starvation of Cuba

 And Three Generations of Cubans Are Tired Of It!!

     Three generations of Cubans more-and-more blame the U. S. media as a prime promoter of the gruesome U.S. Embargo that since 1962 has legalized the Superpower's desire to "starve, deprive, and make miserable" Cubans in Cuba to persuade them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government. Repeatedly on both Social Media and on Cuba's News Media most of the deprived, starving, and miserable Cubans are increasingly tired of the U. S. starvation-tactics of the Embargo and blame the mainstream U. S. media for lying to promote the continuation of the genocidal actions of the U. S. government. Now the top U. S. pollsters, including Gallup, agree with everyday Cubans regarding the descent into propaganda by the mainstream U. S. media.

     As you can see above, the Gallup survey reveals that just "One in six Americans trust newspapers and only one out of ten trust TV, a new Gallup survey shows. Just 16% of US adults now say they have 'a great deal' or 'quite a lot' of confidence in newspapers and 11% in television news. Both readings are down five percentage points since last year." So...those dreadful statistics are getting worse and they already shame the world's richest & strongest Democracy...just as most of the world believes that the U. S. Embargo of Cuba for the past six+ decades shames the United States overall. Daily now, on Social Media and on Cuban News outlets, everyday Cubans indeed are openly blaming the mainstream U. S. media, and not JUST the Miami media, for what they believe is over six decades of genocide from the superpower United States against Cuban families on the vulnerable nearby island nation.

     Today now into the second week of September in 2023 these U. S. Cuban headlines saturate the U. S. Media with anti-Cuban rhetoric, including CBS Miami mocking Cubans in Cuba as the U. S. continues to expand the six-decade-old Embargo of Cuba, now by cutting off the last few "education-only" flights from the U. S. to the nearby island.

     Meanwhile in Cuba, Cubans that don't trust the U. S. media do tend to trust their own Periodistas, which is the Spanish word for "Journalists."

     Today -- starting the second week of September of 2023 -- the images above are from a nationwide TV News program in Cuba. It reminds Cubans that the United States is the only nation in the world that approves the U. S. Embargo/Blockade that has roiled their lives for over six decades, since February of 1962. Above, for example, the Cuban broadcast today reports on an important delegation from Japan that arrived in Havana to sign agreements designed to help Cuba survive the endless U. S. economic assaults against the island. Cubans were told that Japan is a prime Democracy, a key U. S. military and economic/trade ally, and is also the third richest nation in the world behind only the U. S. and China, and that Japan strongly supports the Cuban people instead of the U. S. blockade.

Cuban journalists are ubiquitous in Cuba.

    The Cuban Media promotes that most Cubans, most Americans, and most people around the world support ending the endless U. S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba, while the United States Media promotes continuing it. Thus it will continue, because the United States Media has much more money and much more influence than the Cuban Media.

CHINA cuba USA!!!!!!

 The Two Superpowers want little Cuba!!

But China Is Winning that Battle!!

    Little Cuba is a close neighbor of the United States but its capital of Havana is 7,913 miles from China's capital of Beijing, and a one-way flight from the two capitals takes 22 hours. Yet, in September of 2023, the United States and China -- the two richest and strongest nations in the world -- are both Superpowers that crave little Cuba as an ally in the volatile warlike and economic struggles unfolding on the international stage. But it's not really a contest as to which Superpower is wooing little Cuba in September of 2023. As the two photos shown above suggest, China, which now has 1.4 billion people, is helping little Cuba's 11.3 million people from totally being starved, deprived, and made miserable by the newly strengthened U. S. economic Embargo/Blockade that has existed since 1962. In other words, in September of 2023 the United States is allowing China to easily win the one-sided battle that is driving little Cuba more-and-more into the arms of the Asian giant that the United States considers its greatest economic and military rival in a very, very volatile world.

     On the Isle of Youth today -- September 7th, 2023 -- Cubans held an agricultural meeting in which citizens discussed the U. S. Embargo and the help they are getting from China to help them survive the Embargo. The Isle of Youth, shown in the left-center above, is the largest Cuban island other than the main island, and it is where Fidel Castro was in prison from July of 1953 until May of 1955 when his first attempt to overthrow the Batista dictatorship failed. In the 1950s it was named the Isle of Pines but Fidel changed the name to the Isle of Youth after the triumph in 1959 of his Cuban Revolution.

    This was the scene today -- Sept. 7th-2023 -- when farmers held a massive meeting to discuss the help they are now getting from China, contrasting China's help with the U. S. Embargo that they said was "trying to starve us once and for all."

    This was a part of the crowd on the Isle of Youth today as national TV News programs across Cuba televised the comments live.

     Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel today went out into the crowd at the Isle of Youth to speak on live TV with Cubans. Before becoming President five years ago, Diaz-Canel had been Cuba's beloved Education Minister.

   Cuban farmers today took turns stepping up to the microphones on the Isle of Youth to express their hopes and dreams, with two of them uttering the same sentence: "As the United States is still trying to starve us and China seems to be trying to keep us from starving, we ask you Mr. President to embrace what China is doing."

    In Cuba today there are approximately 11.3 million Cubans and most of them have not starved yet, and most of them are social media savvy, as this photo today shows. And, YES, Cubans in Cuba today have opinions too...just as Cubans in Miami and Washington have opinions!!!! Perhaps -- in September of 2023 -- it is time that the U. S. media and the U. S. government considers the opinions of Cubans in Cuba too.

     And, speaking of the Isle of Youth where Fidel Castro spent almost two years in a Batista prison in 1953-55, he later spent a lot of time as Cuba's leader showing famous admirers around the island's most famous spots. The photo above was taken in 1973 when Fidel was hosting the internationally famed Movie Star Gina Lollobrigida. Thus, Gina was told why he renamed the Isle of Pines to the Isle of Youth.

    The capital of Cuba's historic Isle of Youth is the important city of Nueva Gerona, which now has a population of 60,879. It is interesting to know that the population of Nueva Gerona has steadily increased since 2012. Because of its beauty, location, and abundant wildlife, the Isle of Youth should be a prime tourist destination. But the U. S. Embargo, since 1962, has been designed to block tourism to Cuba because tourism is known to help countries and regions that are not blocked by a Superpower-imposed Embargo. But, uh, a few cruise ships and a few foreign flights to the Isle of Youth would make for wonderful visits for tourists and would also help some wonderful people from, uh, being starved, deprived, and made miserable by a U.S.-imposed Embargo/Blockade that has existed since 1962.

     Back in February of 1962 Proclamation 3447 was made into a legal law by the Superpower United States for the purpose of starving, depriving, and making miserable Cubans in Cuba to enduce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government. Six+ Decades later it still exists in SEPTEMBER of 2023 to appease a few Counter Revolutionaries in Miami and Washington. It seems that the rest of the world fervently believes that Cubans in Cuba have a "right to live without a blockade" because the rest of the world knows about "The impact of US sanctions on the Cuban population and women's lives."
