Terrify Cubans & Get Rich

 A USA Cottage Industry Since 1959!!

     As long as Republicans like Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz can become three of the 100 U. S. Senators in Washington, the vastly lucrative Cuban Cottage Industry in the United States will remain one of America's most thriving enterprises. It began in January of 1959 when the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by overthrowing the brutal, thieving U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba. Unfortunately, Little Havana quickly evolved in the heart of Miami and in the bowels of the U. S. democracy. In the past 62 years, with Little Havana incredibly unable to recapture Havana, the USA's increasingly money-crazed political system has vastly increased Little Havana's now vast economic and political power. In the USA's two-Party MONEY-CRAZED political system, that is true in both the Republican and Democratic parties.

    And therefore, the vicious and self-serving Senator Marco Rubio, who hails from Little Havana, a few days ago posted the above asinine notice atop his official senatorial website. To make sure that the new U. S. President, Joe Biden, does not mess with former President Trump's genocidal Cuban policies, the words shown above are Rubio's warning to the U. S. Senate to keep Cuba on the U. S. list of the nation's that Sponsor Terrorism. If you study Rubio's words above, it might be unhealthy if you disagree with them. You see, the Cuban Cottage Industry is an unchecked, indelible, and PALPABLE Cash Cow that breeds powerful politicians and other extreme power-brokers with incessant and notorious frequency!!

   As the London-based Reuters News Agency informed the world under the above headline, listing Cuba on the Sponsor of Terrorism list will further tighten the tight grip that the U. S. Embargo/Blockade against the island has had against Cubans on the island since 1962!!! Moreover, of course, the spigots to the Cash Cow are always opened wider-and-wider!!

    As you can see above, Bloomberg News reported that President Trump put Cuba on the State Sponsor Terror list just 9 days before he left office on January 20th, 2021. It was a cowardly and cruel act added to a litany of cowardly, cruel, and genocidal acts that Trump had legalized against Cuban families on the island to appease the likes of Rubio.

     Right after his inauguration as President on Jan. 20-2017 Trump flew to Little Havana and, with the above handshake, anointed Rubio America's Cuban dictator on U. S. soil just as, back in 1952, America had anointed Lucky Luciano as the top dictator on Cuban soil during the Batista-Mafia dictatorship. With the above handshake in 2017, the money spigots from Washington to Little Havana were indeed opened wider-&-wider and the genocide against Cuban families on the island also increased exponentially for the next four years. Testifying to the power and fear now garnered by Little Havana economically and politically, neither the mainstream U. S. media nor the U. S. citizens have neither the guts nor the integrity to denounce Little Havana's dictation of America's draconian and lucrative Cuban policies. And the same was true in 1952 when the U. S. democracy teamed with Luciano during the Mafiosi dictatorship in Cuba so rich Americans could also partake in the rape & robbery of the Caribbean's largest island nation.

      And as you can see above, Senators Rubio, Scott, and Cruz are cramming a bill through the U. S. Senate to make sure that the new Biden administration can't take Cuba off the Terror list. The U. S. Senate has 100 members and there are 50 Republicans -- including Rubio, Scott, and Cruz -- and 50 Democratic members, with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris casting the deciding vote in case of a 50-50 tie.

        Of course, Democrat Bob Menendez is the long-time U. S. Senator from Newark-NJ and, of course, he is a very controversial and vicious Counter Revolutionary Cuban-American who is forever entrenched in the Senate and now serves as the powerful Chairman of the important Foreign Relations Committee. All Cuban-American Counter Revolutionaries who reach Congress gratitate to committees best suited to influencing Cuban policies. In other words, the vast and lucrative Cuban Cottage Industry is in good hands whether there is a Republican or Democrat in the White House.

    And therefore, with the Democrat Menendez and the Republican Rubio controlling Cuban policies in the Senate {in the USA's two-party political system}, the Cubans in Little Havana are massively rewarded while the Cubans in Cuba are massively vilified.

    The article above was in the Washington-based political website The Hill on 03/16/21 and reported on a new poll in Florida that shows most Cuban-Americans now strongly favor the Cuban Cottage Industry, meaning they support the Trumpian-type genocidal policies against Cubans on the island that are lucrative for Florida politicians who, apparently, can now go to Congress and make sure that the Cuban Cottage Industry has enough luxuries left over to filter out to the Florida voters. In other words, with Little Havana in control of Washington's Cuban policies, both Democracy and the Cuban people are screwed.

   The article in The Hill used this Getty Images photo to illustrate the aforementioned article about the new poll that shows most Cuban-Americans in Florida support Trump's vile enhancement of the very cruel, but very lucrative, genocidal Embargo/Blockade against Cuban families on the island. Greed, of course, was the reason the U. S. democracy in 1952 began supporting the Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Cuba; and greed, of course, is the reason the U. S. democracy has supported Little Havana since 1959, which was the year the Cuban Revolution overthrew the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship, an historic event that spawned Little Havana in Miami.

Little Havana Conquers Congress

  Maybe The USA Is Next!!

    On January 1-1959 when the Cuban Revolution overthrew the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship in Havana, it quickly spawned Little Havana in the heart of nearby Miami, Florida. The expectation was that the ultra-rich and ultra-powerful Batistianos, Mafiosi, and the United States would recapture Cuba within weeks,  or least in a few months!! But now, deep in the month of March in 2021, Revolutionary Cuba still rules the Caribbean's largest island nation. Immediately in 1959 Cuban exiles overwhelmed Miami with vast amount of money and firepower; soon Cubans dominated South Florida and then all of Florida; and soon thereafter, thanks to help from the Bush dynasty, they became a force in the U. S. Congress. Now early in 2021 they perhaps feel able to savor the prospect of dominating the whole USA.

      There are many journalists who understand this trajectory but there is just one that has both the insight and the courage to express it, and that is Alvaro Fernandez. He is the Editor of Progresso Weekly, which is based in Miami. And no one, except possibly the perpetrators themselves, knows as much as Mr. Fernandez about Little Havana!!

      Little Havana's U. S. Senator Marco Rubio is the prime spokesperson in the U. S. Congress and in the mainstream U. S. media about how decent the Batista-Mafia rule in Cuba was and, by contrast, how indecent Revolutionary Cuba has been since 1959. Deeply ingrained within the bowels of the U. S. Democracy, that lie -- even backed with massive money, gruesome terror, awesome military power, and unending legal legislation -- has YET TO recapture Cuba but, in the last six+ decades it has surely bestowed wealth and power to a litany of Little Havana Counter Revolutionaries. Along the way, only a handful of journalists have had the integrity or courage to criticize Little Havana leaders. So, the Alvaro Fernandez/Progreso Weekly depiction of Marco Rubio in the graphic shown above is, uh, let's say unusual. Yet, in these last days of March-2021, Alvaro Fernandez penned another article that again pointedly focuses on his belief that Little Havana shames the entire USA by continually sending only unchecked Counter Revolutionary Cuban zealots to Washington.

       Above is the headline of an article that Alvaro Fernandez wrote this week criticizing Little Havana's latest contributions to the U. S. Congress.

      This was the photo that Alvaro Fernandez used of Carlos Gimenez, whom Alvaro knows well and therefore laments Gimenez's new role in Congress. Now 67, Carlos Gimenez was born in 1954 in Havana during the Batista-Mafia rule of Cuba. He was the Major of Miami-Dade County from 2011 till 2020 during his euphoric rise to being one of Little Havana's most powerful Counter Revolutionaries. No problem!! Even as Alvaro Fernandez's headline depicted above proclaims: "MIAMI'S CARLOS GIMENEZ EPITOMIZES THE GREED THAT CHARACTERIZES CONGRESSIOBAL REPUBLICANS."

      In the aforementioned article the great & brave Miami journalist Alvaro Fernandez used this photo to discuss three of Little Havana's Counter Revolutionaries that Alvaro obviously wishes were not in the U. S. CONGRESS -- Carlos Gimenez, Maria Elvira Salazar, and Mario Diaz-Balart. The first two are newcomers to Congress but, of course, either Mario Diaz-Balart or his brother Lincoln Diaz-Balart have staunchly represented Little Havana in the U. S. Congress for the last three decades. The rich & powerful Diaz-Balart brothers are the sons of MIGUEL Diaz-Balart who was a powerful Minister in the Batista dictatorship and then, beginning in January of 1959, one of the richest and most powerful Counter Revolutionaries that created Little Havana into a powerhouse. Of course, Alvaro Fernandez considers anyone of power in Little Havana to be just about as Counter Revolutionary as the Diaz-Balart leaders. This is some of what Alvaro Fernandez wrote about the three Little Havana members of Congress shown in the photo above:

       Note above that the notable Miami journalist Alvaro Fernandez, in his article, explained succinctly about what he believes is "...the greed they adhere to. But the truth is that not one of the three is worth the paper I'm writing these words on." In other words, the best and bravest journalist in Miami, Alvaro Fernandez, longs for the day when Little Havana and Miami can elect politicians who are NOT Counter Revolutionary extremists!!!!! And, I believe, more Americans and Cuban-Americans should agree with him.

Rubio's Little Havana Disgrace

 Riding on the Backs of Decent Cubans!!

     Back in 1952 Americans were programmed to accept the fact that their renowned Democracy teamed with the Mafia to support the brutal and thieving Batista dictatorship in nearby Cuba...so rich Americans could partake in the wholesale robbery of the Caribbean's largest and, arguably, its most beautiful island nation. And since Jan. 1-1959, after the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by overthrowing the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship, Americans have been programmed to accept the fact that Little Havana in the heart of Miami is the home of the GOOD Cubans and Cuba is the home of the BAD Cubans. Therefore, since 1959 American compliance and tax-dollars have been showered on Little Havana's efforts to regain control of Cuba but, incredibly unable to accomplish that, the endless effort has, very notably, continually showered vast economic and political powers on generations of Little Havana Cubans, such as Marco Rubio and his mentors or cohorts.

    Today, on March 13-2021, there are important things that decent politicians should be doing in Washington. But, as usual, the Little Havana incumbent in the U. S. Senate, Marco Rubio, is using the U. S. democracy to assault totally innocent and much more decent Cubans on the island to fit his self-serving personal goals. On March 13-2021 Mr. Rubio was trying to ram a law through the Senate that would block the new Biden administration from removing Cuba from the asinine list of state Sponsors of Terrorism. Cuba was put on the list during the last ten days of the Trump administration, which for FOUR YEARS had allowed Mr. Rubio to make a plethora of genocidal decisions designed to harm Cubans on the island. There, of course, are no decent politicians in Washington that believe Cuba should be on the Sponsor of Terrorism list, but there are Mr. Rubio-like politicians who benefit from such things...as well as other politicians who are easily bought-off or scared-off by Little Havana.

     An excellent, honest, and brave journalist in Miami, Alvaro Fernandez is the Editor of the Miami-based PROGRESO WEEKLY. No one knows more about Little Havana and its stream of Counter Revolutionary Cubans from Miami-to-the- U. S. Congress than Alvaro Fernandez, and that especially includes Senator Marco Rubio. Thus, Alvaro Fernandez is a rare Miami journalist courageous enough to hold Rubio accountable for his self-serving genocide against Cuban families on the island. Below is the headline by Alvaro Fernandez in PROGRESO WEEKLY about the truth about Rubio's new bill in the Senate that aims to block any effort President Biden might make to remove Cuba from Rubio's Trump-imposed list of Sponsor's of Terrorism that Rubio insisted Trump make into law.

     Of course, all decent people agree with what Alvaro Fernandez advised President Biden above: "President Biden, it's time to act: Cuba is not a sponsor of terrorism." But as Rubio knows, keeping Cuba on the Sponsor of Terrorism list massively increases the power of powerful Little Havana politicians in Miami and in Washington.

    The Pinocchio graphic of Marco Rubio above is from Alvaro Fernandez's PROGRESO WEEKLY, so it is credited to the journalist in Miami who knows Rubio best. Right below the Pinocchio nose are the words: "MARCO RUBIO TRUMPIFIED. USING LANGUAGE OF DEMOCRACY TO SUBVERT DEMOCRACY." The sad fact is: This is allowed in the U. S. Congress year-after-year, revealing the cowardice of  generations of American citizens who allow the likes of Rubio to verily feast on such cowardice or ignorance.

    While Alvaro Fernandez is the best overall journalist in Miami, Ken Silverstein is the best investigative journalist in Washington. In a very long and minutely detailed article, Ken Silverstein wrote a bio of Marco Rubio that began with these exact words: "When it comes to sheer brazen corruption, chicanery and dishonesty there is one candidate who stands head and shoulders above everyone else and that is the right-wing Cuban-American and the darling Senator Marco Rubio of -- naturally -- the great state of Florida. Mr. Rubio's entire public image is less tethered to reality than the Wizard of Oz." From there, the great Ken Silverstein goes on to explain the two sentences listed above with a myriad of examples that include names, dates, places, etc., etc.

    Above is the graphic that accompanies Ken Silverstein's scathing depiction of Senator Marco Rubio and Little Havana. Of course, Americans are not supposed to care about what is contained therein, and that is why Counter Revolutionary extremists such as Rubio from Little Havana can dictate genocidal but LEGAL U. S. policies against innocent and more decent Cuban families on the island. All the while, for over six decades, a plethora of Cuban-Americans have literally feasted, politically and economically, from making masses of Cubans on the island SUFFER.

     It is a disgrace to America's democracy when a lightweight and self-serving Little Havana extremist like Marco Rubio, both during and after  Republican administration's like Trump's, can continue to use the powers of a Superpower nation to level self-serving genocidal policies against the people in a much-smaller nearby nation. Now Rubio has a new bill in the Senate to assure that Trump's successor, President Biden, doesn't mess with Trump's and Rubio's genocidal Cuban laws already made into LEGAL laws.

Anti-Cuba U.S. Media Revs UP

Warning Biden Not to Harm Cuban Piggybank!!

     As far as I am concerned, the photo above explains...epitomizes...why the genocidal U. S. Embargo/Blockade against masses of Cuban families on the island will continue. That is because the Embargo/Blockade, which has existed since 1962, has made and will continue to make rich and politically important Cuban-Americans richer-and-richer and more powerful. That undeniable fact is politically and socially incorrect in America and, also, unhealthy when it is revealed, but it should be admitted bravely, especially by Democracy-loving Americans. So, courageously, permit me to attempt to explain the true meaning of the photo above.

      The ultra-rich journalist, author, and high-priced speaker Andres Oppenheimer remains a prime example of why the genocidal U. S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba is heading into a 7th decade. It, of course, doesn't matter that it began in 1962 for the exact purpose, as de-classified U. S. documents prove, "to starve, deprive, and make miserable" the Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government...the rebel government that overthrew the brutal and thieving U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship in 1959 and then in April of 1961 shocked the world again by defeating the U.S/Batistiano/Mafiosi Bay of Pigs air-land-&-sea military attack. Since fleeing the Cuban Revolution in January of 1959, the new Batistiano headquarters in the heart of Miami known as Little Havana has been flush with money -- from Batista's Cuba, the Catholic church, the U. S. government, etc., etc. For sure, the children of Counter Revolutionary Cubans had extreme privileges other U. S. kids didn't have, such as pathways to the best educations -- Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc., or Colombia {Oppenheimer's alma mater}. And, for sure, in the 1950's the Batistianos, the Mafiosi, and rich U. S. businessmen made financial windfalls in Havana, yet since 1959 they have easily amassed even larger windfalls!!! And that, my friends, is why...in the USA's money-crazed two-party political system, even when a Democratic president, Biden, replaces a Republican, Trump, in Washington, the money-crazed EMBARGO/BLOCKADE remains in place. In other words, too many rich Cuban-Americans and their sycophants are making too much money to allow it to end!! I believe that explains the new massive Editorial in the Miami Herald by the prolific journalist, author, and high-priced speaker Andres Oppenheimer:

    Above is the asinine, self-serving headline blaring forth at the front of Andres Oppenheimer's article in the Miami Herald, the prime media source for Little Havana. Oppenheimer was born 69 years ago in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He epitomises the journalists/authors/speakers, politicians, and self-serving business moguls who have benefited enormously from the U.S.-Cuban conundrum. Foremost among the core elements of that quagmire is the lucrative Embargo/Blockade -- you know, the legal means since 1962 that Cubans on the island are "starved, deprised, and made miserable" to appease and benefit a bunch of benefactors. Yes, in the world's most powerful and most famous Democracy, money and muscle can extend cruel insanity into seven decades...and beyond...regardless if the rest of the world opposes it and most Americans and most Cubans oppose it. Of course, since 1959 the opinions that count are in Little Havana and in the U. S. Congress where Little Havana stalwarts reign supreme.

      But, while the likes of Andres Oppenheimer won't admit it, the 11.2 million Cubans on the island have opinions too...including opinions about being gruesomely exploited by ultra-greedy foreigners hiding behind the skirts of a foreign superpower. Well-educated Cubans now make ubiquitous use of Social Media websites to express their opinions. While Oppenheimer and his ilk hog the mainstream media in the U. S., Cubans in Cuba now turn to their own media to refute the pro-Embargo Little Havana crowd, but mostly they use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, What'sUpp, etc., to express their opinions. And each day now millions of on Social Media platforms beg President Biden to end or at least soften the genocide left behind by President Trump:

     In the United States since 1959 the opinions of Cubans in Cuba are never allowed to see the light of day, but the opinions of Cubans in the U. S. such as the aforementioned Andres Oppenheimer and Carlos Aires are loudly broadcast, printed, and massively promoted without any limits or contradictions across America. Carlos Aires was born in 1950 in Havana. At age 11 in 1961 he was among 14,000 Cuban children flown to the U. S. in the famed Operation Peter Pan operation. Massively coddled, their paths often led to gateways such as Yale University where Carlos Aires got his Ph.d in 1979. He lectured at major universities such as St. John's, Virginia, Princeton, etc. In 2003 he published a massively promoted book entitled "WAITING FOR SNOW IN HAVANA" and to this day it is still the #1 Cuban book in the USA. In 2010 he wrote a second huge memoir -- "LEARNING TO DIE IN MIAMI." And for many years Carlos Aires has been the highly paid Professor of History and Religious Studious at Yale University.

      Being a Counter Revolutionary from Cuba in the United States has made fortunes and created fame for millions of privileged Cuban-Americans who sanitize Batista's/Luciano's Cuba and vilify everything about Revolutionary Cuba. Carlos Eire, since his arrival in Miami from Havana in 1961 at age eleven, fits that paradigm.

  Since the U.S.-backed & Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship was chased out of Cuba by the Castro-led Cuban Revolution on January 1, 1959, the Batista-Luciano rule of Cuba has been massively championed and Castro's Revolutionary Cuba has been massively maligned. Of course, Mr. Aire, the renowned History Professor at Yale University, has his own lucrative view of the historic Jan. 1-1959 headline depicted above: "BATISTA FLEES CUBA; CASTRO IN CONTROL." It seems that EVERY view about Cuba in the United States is all about...money, money, money, money, money!!!

     For example, the money trail from Cuba has created the richest person in the history of the world!!! Jeff Bezos was born on U. S. soil to destitute teenage parents in Albuquerque, New Mexico. But his path to becoming the richest person in the history of the world started when he was 4-years-old when he was adopted by the Cuban-born Miguel Bezos. As the richest person in the history of the world, Jeff Bezos can buy any toy in the whole world that he might want. So, he used some of his pocket change...about $250,000...to purchase the Washington Post.

     For decades many Americans, including me, depended on the Washington Post as one of the world's greatest liberal newspapers. But since Jeff Bezos bought it, it has become an extreme left-wing propaganda machine. The Post under the Bezos ownership used extreme and excessive propaganda pieces to derail the Trump presidency and, apparently, to promote a one-party rule...extreme left-wing Democratic rule...in Washington. And, as a left-wing propagandist, Jeff Bezos uses his still-powerful Washington Post to promote the extreme Counter Revolutionary views of extreme Cuba dissidents, allowing them to write powerful anti-Cuba Editorials in the Washington Post, such as the one below:

     The headline shown above blared forth as a major Editorial in Jeff Bezos's Washington Post and, translated to English, it says: "Opinion: The Cuba of the future is that of Homeland and Life." This Editorial in the Washington Post was written by Abraham Jimenez Enoa, one of Jeff Bezos's favorite Counter Revolutionary extremists. Enoa used the Washington Post to mock Fidel Castro's famous proclamation "Homeland or Death" -- which is still referred to by millions of today's Cubans. Anoa instead suggested "Homeland and Life" as a way to support anti-Cuba movements that Enoa and Bezos are obviously powerfully promoting. But, truth be known, Fidel Castro himself coined both phrases -- "Homeland or Death" and "Homeland and Life."

    Truth be known, since 1959 Revolutionary Cuba has provided free education through college for all Cubans, and it results in well-educated journalists who are well-respected by the Cuban people to tell the truth. If not, the well-educated people can vent their dislikes on their now ubiquitous Social Media pages. But Rosy Amaro, an important news anchor, for example, has been known to sharply complain about the government if she feels everyday Cubans might be mistreated. Her newscasts mainly consists of reports on health, sports, and cultural issues. But this week she used a video tape in which Fidel Castro himself coined the "Homeland and LIFE" phrase...as she rebuked the latest Washington Post Editorial totally designed to vilify Revolutionary Cuba and imply that what preceded, the Batista-Mafia regime, had been one of the world's greatest and most decent governments. 

    This, truth be know, is the actual video-taped speech in which Fidel Castro coined the "Homeland and LIFE" phase that the Washington Post used as a new mantra to vilify the Revolution and promote Counter Revolution propaganda. And that segment of the speech was shown on Cuban TV this week.

     Journalist Rosy Amaro Perez, as shown above, quoted Fidel Castro's exact words about "Paria Y Vida" that means "Homeland and Vida."

      The President of Cuba. Miguel Diaz-Canel, was born after the triumph of the Revolution but, like most of the island's 11.2 million people, he staunchly views today's Cuba to be Fidel Castro's Cuba. President Diaz-Canel often speaks to Cubans on the streets, at meetings, on television, and on his Social Media platforms. As you see above, Diaz-Canel states that "Patria y Vida" -- "Homeland and Life" -- was coined by "Fidel" and still remains the "conviction" of "Revolutionary Cuba" today.

    But in Cuba..."Homeland or Death" thus remains the mantra of the Revolution...more than four years since Fidel Castro died at age 90 in 2016.

    It has been said that Fidel Castro coined the declaration "Patria 0 Muerte" during the 1953-1959 Revolutionary War. But he first proclaimed the promise more a year after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution -- on March 4th, 1960, as the newspaper depicted above recorded. Terrorist bombs had destroyed the French ship La Coubre that was docked in Havana Harbor unloading supplies. Fidel's reaction, among other things, was the speech photographed above that also included an audio recording in which he said: "Now Freedom means something more. Freedom now means Homeland, and our choice will be Homeland or Death!!" To this day...in March of 2021...Cubans on the island repeat "Patria 0 Muerte" in Spanish or "Home or Death" often on their ubiquitous Internet Social Media platforms. And daily in such forums Cubans in Cuba send the same message to U. S. President Joe Biden: 

   Of course, America's new President Joe Biden could end most of the genocide now legally assaulting Cuban families on the island, but billions and billions & dollars in the form of endless and ludicrous donations rule both U. S. political parties -- Republicans and Democrats. So, things such as DONATION MONEY and which Party controls CONGRESS will predicate whether President Biden will respect Cuban families on the island, even a little bit!! And Thus, the six+decades of the egregious genocide against Cuban families on the nearby island nation is not likely to end anytime soon. You see...there are simply too many people making too much money and amassing too much political power off the status quo from the genocidal Embargo/Blockade against masses of Cubans on the island. And they don't want their lucrative piggybank to close.

        While journalists/authors/speakers like Andres Oppenheimer will clamor for keeping the Embargo in place for decades to come, there are media sources more powerful than the Miami Herald when it comes to emphasizing anti-Cuban propaganda in the United States. That includes the WASHINGON POST, for example. In other words, now the richest person in the history of the world seems to be adding to the U. S. genocide aimed at Cubans in Cuba.      The richest person in the history of the world is Jeff Bezos and that worries the already worried Cubans on the island. They think Jeff Bezos is using some of his billions to target them.

       Of course, Cuban-born Miguel Bezos is the step-father of the richest person in the history of the world, Jeff Bezos.

    Meanwhile, somehow since 1962 the U. S. Embargo/Blockade hasn't kept Cuban families on the island from doing their very best to take care of generations of children like these two sisters in Havana, Ambar & Gema Hernandez. This photo was taken Monday, March 8th, 2021, which was International Women's Day. Ambar & Gema are shown as they surprised their mother Adriana with some beautiful flowers to celebrate International Women's Day. It was an appropriate gesture, I think, because mothers in Cuba are obviously much more decent people than the people in a foreign country who benefit from a legal Embargo/Blockade that aims to harm little girls like Ambar &  Gema...for the nefarious purpose of trying to induce their parents to rise up and overthrow the Revolutionary Cuban government.
