Nov. 15-2021; Target Date For Cuba's Demise?

 The LONG-awaited Overthrow Looms?

     Today -- October 23rd-2021 -- the official Cuban media, as shown above, is reporting that the island nation is beginning to emerge from the twin threats of the the U. S. blockade and the COVID-19 crisis. The article today highlighted the words of Cuba's long-time Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez expressing optimism although, as the COVID pandemic eases considerably on the island, Bruno Rodriguez is well aware that another powerful effort to overthrow Cuba's revolutionary government is set to begin in less than a month -- on November 15th-2021.
   For many years, at the UN and elsewhere, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez has been a respected spokesman for Cuba, particularly related to the threats from the USA. His optimism today -- October 23rd-2021 -- regarding both COVID & the Blockade didn't mention that on November 15th-2021 many in Cuba and in the U. S. believe an imposing and powerful coup in the guise of a well-planned protest will commence.
     Yet, today -- Oct. 23rd-2021 -- many foreign entities tightly tied to Revolutionary Cuba's survival dismiss the projections of Nov. 15th's coup as similar to all the other U. S. attempts to overthrow the revolution since Jan. 1, 1959, meaning that Cuba will somehow survive. For example, the image above is from a new international ad, including on Social Media outlets, that began today by Iberostar, the Madrid-owned Hotel & Resorts giant. Like the other Spanish Hotel & Resorts giant Melia, Iberostar is now heavily promoting its international tourism trade involving Cuba's famed beaches such as Varadero, Cayo Santa Maria, and others. Across Cuba, Iberostar & Melia have forty luxurious properties catering to tourists and their ads are now pinpointing November 15th-2021 as the day for tourism to resume in earnest in Cuba. The Cuban government has also pinpointed November 15th-2021 as the day it will reopen its borders to tourists. Yet, many sources are also pinpointing November 15th-2021 as the day the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba commences.
   Even mainstream U. S. media sources are featuring high-profile anti-Cuban journalists -- and that includes...the NY Times, Washington Post, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc., etc. And now those outlets are seemingly promoting Nov. 15th-2021 as the date for the beginning of the demise of Revolutionary Cuba. For example, today -- Oct. 23rd-2021 -- the anti-Cuban journalist at NBC News, Carmen Sesin, has a prime article extolling the virtues and power of the Cuban who is leading the upcoming Nov. 15th-2021 attempt at overthrowing Revolutionary Cuba.
    As shown above, today -- October 23-2021 -- is the start of the long article by Carmen Sesin of NBC News celebrating and extolling "the young artist" who "has emerged" has the leader of the "protests planned for Nov. 15."
     According to Carmen Sesin at NBC News today, and according to other mainstream U. S. media, the latest Superman leader of a supposed coup against Cuba is...Yunior Garcia, a 39-year-old artist. His quotes blazoned across the world today by Carmen Sesis and NBC News is meant, I assume, to bring chills down the spines of all the revolutionary leaders and civilian supporters on the entire island.
    This photo of Junior Garcia is courtesy of Yamil Lage; the Paris-based AFP News Agency; and Getty Images. This, supposedly, is the face of the Counter Revolutionary leader in Cuba destined to lead the revolution on Nov. 15th-2021 that might finally dethrone the Revolution that Fidel Castro began on JULY 26-1953 -- the one that ended up dethroning and shocking the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship on JANUARY 1ST-1959. Will Junior Garcia, who apparently has unlimited support, emulate the success of Fidel Castro's Revolution that began with very little support? Uh, maybe or maybe not...but historic dates are always interesting to contemplate, and perhaps Junior Garcia's Nov. 15th-2021 will turn out to be as historic as Fidel Castro's JULY 26-1953!!!!!
WOW!!!!!
"Nov. 15 has to happen."
  History registers the fact that Fidel Castro made 26 de JULIO from 1953 everlastingly historic as the start of his Cuban Revolution that shocked the world, especially the United States and the Mafia, by defeating the Batista dictatorship.
     Will history one day register Junior Garcia's 15 of November from 2021 as the historic date that began the overthrow of Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution??? I, of course, don't know the answer to that titillating question but I will await future headlines by Carmen Sesin of NBC News and other Counter Revolutionary U. S. media sources to...uh...let me know!!!

ONLY Miami-USA Starves Cubans in Cuba

 While Also PROFITING From it

    Cubans know what the Paris Club is although, it seems, Americans don't. This week...the next to last week in October of 2021...the Paris Club somewhat graciously agreed that Cuba will be allowed to default on its debt payments because of the twin perils, the U. S. Blockade and the COVID-19 pandemic, that have devastated the island's economy. As you can see above, the Paris Club consists of 22 of the richest nations in the world, including the USA, the UK, France, Canada, Japan, etc., etc.
      The London-based Reuters, the world's best news agency and its world-class Cuban-expert journalist Marc Frank, as usual as shown above, had this week's best coverage regarding Cuba, the Paris Club, etc. The Marc Frank reporting, for example, included the fact that the U. S. doesn't allow Cuba to be involved in international banking such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, etc., because that would not compute  with the Miami-addicted U. S. Embargo/Blockade that is designed {since 1962}, according to de-classified U. S. data, to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government, something that the 1961 Miami-U. S. air-land-and-sea military attack at the Bay of Pigs, along with continuing terrorism, has failed to do. Of course, the Miami-U. S. Embargo/Blockade of Cuba since 1962 has, indeed, starved, deprived, and made miserable Cubans on the island...while also enriching and empowering Cubans in Miami-Little Havana.
         Of course, the unending and unchecked stream of Counter Revolutionary Cubans elected to the U. S. Congress from Miami-Little Havana have amassed the power to maintain the Embargo/Blockade against Cubans on the island AS LONG AS THEY CHOOSE!!!! For example, the Miami-Little Havana Cubans in the U. S. Congress -- such as Maria Salazar as shown above, can go on national television in the U. S. any hour of the day and, without any trouble or opposition, say whatever they want to say to prolong history's longest and cruelest Embargo/Blockade ever imposed by any powerful nation against the people in a much-smaller nation. In the above TV diatribe, for example, Miami-Little Havana's Maria Salazar quickly used her new status in the U. S. Congress to inform Americans and the World that "There is no Embargo against Cuba," meaning that the island's revolutionary government since 1959 has been the worst and most brutal government in world history and that the Mafiosi-riddled Batista dictatorship that preceded it was the best and least brutal government in world history!! Of course, such unchecked propaganda since 1959 has, indeed, starved and deprived generations of Cubans on the island while also, indeed, enriching and impowering generations of Cubans in Miami/Little Havana. Yet, since 1959 the vivid memories of the Batista regime from the 1950s have apparently kept enough Cubans in Cuba to not be persuaded to accept a return of the Batistianos despite all the inducements they have faced in the past six+ decades.

How Cubans Get Rich in the USA

 Ask Jeff & Miguel Bezos!!

    Before emerging as the richest man in the history of the world Jeff Bezos started off humbly, being born to destitute teenage parents in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His hourly Gold Mine, of course, is Amazon but his toys include the once-iconic news source Washington Post. Jeff Bezos's path to becoming the richest person in the history of the World began when he was four-years-old and his step-father became Cuban-born Miguel Bezos. Although it is not politically nor socially correct to mention it, the Jeff Bezos nexus with Cuba sharply chronicles how the step-son of Miguel Bezos became the richest person in history.

    For decades the Washington Post was an ultra-powerful liberal source in the U. S...with international repercussions too. But once the U. S. democracy began forsaking monopoly rules and allowed ultra-rich individuals and corporations to purchase major media properties, the Jeff Bezos purchase of the Washington Post had no hurdles. Thus, in the Jeff Bezos era, much of the mainstream media in the U. S. has gone from ultra-liberal to ultra/left-wing propaganda sources...with the other end of the mainstream media spectrum becoming ultra/right-wing propaganda sources. That, as Gallup and other respected polls reveal, means most Americans "don't trust" the mainstream U. S. media now, which is a terrible situation to be inflicted on a Democracy. One of the victims of the left-wing/right-wing tilt to the mainstream U. S. media is U.S.-Cuba Relations. And the extreme left-wing voice of Jeff Bezos's Washington Post is a prime example of how, in the U. S., the only people who are usually allowed to express opinions about U. S. relations with Cuba are extreme dissidents in Cuba or Cuban-American benefactors in prime Counter Revolutionary cities such as Miami, Newark, and Washington. If, for example, 10 million of the 13 million Cubans on the island are extremely supportive of their revolutionary government, their opinions normally are never aired in the U. S. media. On the other hand, if you happen to be a vicious dissident on the island, either by individual choice or well-backed leanings, mainstream U. S. media sources -- such as the Bezos-owned Washington Post -- lavishly quote Counter Revolutionary Cubans or routinely allow them to even pen their own anti-Cuba Editorials. For example, in this next-to-last week of October-2021 I suggest you dial up the latest anti-Cuban diatribe in the WASHINGTON POST:
     It appears this week that the Washington Post is chagrinned {above} that "spontaneous" anti-Cuban protests back in July didn't result in the long-cherished overthrow of Cuba's revolutionary government. Therefore, it appears now that the Washington Post -- along with most of the other left-wing/right-wing media sources in the U. S. -- are promoting that yet another "spontaneous protest in Cuba" set on a specific date next month, November of 2021, will finally result in the overthrow of Cuba's revolutionary government. In the Washington Post ant-Cuba promotion this week, as you see above, whatever Michel Parra says is taken and presented as gospel. Is that because...uh...he says only what fits the Washington Post's anti-Cuban narratives????? And, as a Democracy-loving American who has been to Cuba, permit me to wonder if such articles...or propaganda...say much more about the USA than about the island of Cuba???
      The aforementioned Washington Post article used the photo above to explain the police brutality that supposedly quelled the anti-government protests back in July. The Cuban government as well as numerous Cubans on multiple Social Media outlets said the protesters were mercenaries or, at least in part, encouraged by Miami, Newark, and Washington entities. And, if that is true or even if it is partly true, that fact should at least be mentioned by the U. S. media in its incessant saturations and condemnations of Revolutionary Cuba, which implies that most, or almost all, the Cubans on the island VERILY LONG for the return of the pre-revolutionary Batista dictatorship that was supported by the Mafia and the United States.
    Cuba's historic Revolutionary leader Fidel Castro died at age 90 in 2016. So, in the waning days of October-2021, whose legacy remained the primary image, as shown above, that led the pro-government protests to quell the anti-government protests back in July?? Moreover, next month in November of 2021 when the next "spontaneous" anti-government protests begin in Cuba, it will again be the legacy of Fidel Castro that will almost certainly fuel the counter pro-revolutionary protests on behalf of the Cuban Revolution. The odds were at least a million-to-one against the revolutionary victory on January 1-1959 and the odds have been at least a billion-to-one against its longevity for all these decades since that date. Since Jan. 1st-1959 Americans have been told that almost every Cuban on the island hated/hates Castro and his Revolution. But that is not so. And if that had been so, there would never had been a revolutionary victory in January-1959 and there would have never been the revolution's longevity since January-1959. Perhaps the Washington Post or someone in the rest of the Counter Revolutionary U. S. media one day might explain how the Cuban Revolution triumphed and how it has lasted for all these decades, but don't count on that. You see, since January of 1959 the extremely lucrative COUNTER REVOLUTIONARY CUBANS ON U. S. SOIL, from Miami to Washington, HAVE SIMPLY reaped vast fortunes for simply being Counter Revolutionaries in the U. S...including, of course, Miguel Bezos...and his step-son.

    Beginning in January of 1959, the Cubans who fled Revolutionary Cuba for their sanctuary on U. S. soil, particularly in Miami/Little Havana, were instantly surprised that they had vast advantages that the current people in Miami and elsewhere didn't have. As you see above, for example, Miguel Bezos...once he left Cuba for the USA...was immediately and powerfully supported by the ultra-rich Catholic Church, which could assume that the immigrating Cubans were Catholics. But not only that, after leaving Cuba starting in January of 1959 the former Batistiano and Mafiosi money that was  accumulated in Batista's Cuba, along with the firepower behind it, easily and quickly took over Miami politically and economically just the way it had controlled Havana from 1952 till 1959. Thus, Cubans who fled the Revolution starting in 1959 had the unique economic and political support that others in America simply did not have...hey, there is a lot more money in the U. S. than in even Batista's Cuba...Catholic money, Batistiano money, U. S. tax-dollar money, etc. So Hey...if you are a Counter Revolutionary Cuban in the U. S. you need to go to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Stanford...and don't worry about getting in or about the money!!!! In other words, the Bezos nexus about how to become the richest man in the history of the world is...huh...very, very, very interesting!!!!! But, of course, from January of 1959 until October of 2021 Americans are supposed not to comprehend such things because it doesn't compute with the very lucrative narrative that fuels the U.S-Cuban conundrum. And in other words, Americans are not supposed to know about or even Google how in the hell the Cuban Revolution triumphed in January-1959 and how it still exists in October-2021!!!

BUT INTERESTING!!!!

   Huh...interesting...how a Revolution in a little island nation defeated a Powerful dictator who was supported by the most Powerful criminal organization in the world, the Mafia, and by the most Powerful nation in the world, the USA!!! And even more interesting is the fact that the tiny, little Revolution has existed for all the decades since 1959!!! Interesting, to be sure!!!
     And huh...interesting...as well as coincidental that the step-son of a Cuban that fled the Cuban Revolution became the richest man in the world!!!

Biden Continues Trump's Cuban Genocide

 An UNPLEASANT SURPRISE!!!

 As the mainstream U. S. media, unfortunately, has evolved mostly into either fierce left-wing or fierce right-wing propaganda dispensers, there remains few journalists within the bowels of the U. S. democracy with both the integrity and the courage to report fairly regarding Cuban issues. Fortunately, Tracy Wilkinson remains a brilliant mainstream journalist at the left-wing mainstream Los Angeles Times that still has the integrity and courage to report fairly on Cuban issues. Today -- October 18, 2021 -- Tracy Wilkinson penned a fair and unbiased article pertaining to Cuba, which is a rarity in the U. S. in these days.
     Above is the Tracy Wilkinson article today in the Los Angeles Times regarding Cuba. Because it fairly updates the U.S.-Cuban conundrum, it does something that rarely the U. S. media offers, which is a opinion of a Cuban that is not a Counter Revolutionary Cuban from Miami or the U. S. Congress.
      Above is the start of Tracy Wilkinson's article in the Los Angeles Times today -- October 18th-2021. While discussing the drastic fact that the Democrat President Joe Biden has continued the Republican President Donald Trump's genocide on Cuban families on the island, this article, incredibly, has the courage to quote an important, very decent Cuban official about Biden's continuation of Trump's draconian starvation policies against Cuban families on the island to appease the extremist Cuban-Americans who benefit so drastically, politically and economically, from the ageless and lucrative {since 1962) Embargo/Blockade of the Caribbean's largest island nation.
    The highly respected and important Cuban official incredibly permitted to be quoted in the article today is Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, the head of Cuba's embassy in Washington. When the Obama administration tried to normalize relations between the U. S. and Cuba, President Obama thought de Cossio was the perfect Cuban ambassador in Washington and the respected and very decent Jeff DeLaurentis was the perfect American diplomat to head the reopened and fully staffed Embassy in Havana. That decency prevailed until Trump replaced Obama and returned Cuban policy back over to extremist benefactors like Senator Marco Rubio...who quickly sacked the great diplomat DeLaurentis and then gutted both de Cossio and his staff in Washington as well as what had been DeLaurentis's staff in Havana. Of course, a Trump-supporter soon stood outside the Cuban embassy in Washington and fired a blistering series of high-powered rifle shots on and inside the building while de Cossio had to duck for cover on the floor. Also, Trump -- dictated to by the anti-Cuban extremists -- activated Title 3 of Helm-Burton, a section that not even President George W. Bush, who was totally dictated to by Little Havana extremists in Miami, refused to activate because even Bush believed it was TOO GENOCIDAL to be activated!! But of course, neither the U. S. media nor the U. S. citizens were supposed to object about such things as the genocidal Title 3 or the rifle shots that were aimed at a great diplomat, Ambassador Carlos de Cossio. Many rich Cuban-American business owners and executives in Florida greatly admire de Cossio and, during the end of Obama's administration, often invited de Cossio to speak at business meetings in Florida designed to help both Americans and Cubans. But de Cossio, as much or more than anyone, understands the transition from Obama's decency to TRUMP'S genocide against Cuban families on the island. At least the aforementioned article in the Los Angeles Times permitted de Cossio -- in a rarity in the U. S. democracy -- to be quoted on the current primary Cuban-U.S. issue, which is...Biden's presidency displacing Obama's decency toward Cuban families while opting to follow Trump's genocidal approach.

      So the presidential election in 2020 that replaced the Republican Trump with the Democrat Biden was expected to replace much of the Trumpian genocide against Cuban families on the island, but it simply hasn't happened. That fact shows the growing grip that money has on both of the USA's two political parties -- the Republicans and the Democrats. Biden's flagrant departures from President Obama's Cuban sanity and decency  reveals, I believe, as much disaster for the United States as it does for Cuba.
     In 2016 Barack Obama became the first sitting U. S. President "in 88 years" that had both the courage and the decency to fly to Cuba and show decency to the Cuban people on the island. Joe Biden for 8 years was President Obama's Vice President. That's why many people believed that Biden, as President in 2021, would also show some decency to Cuban families on the island, but, while Republican Senator Marco Rubio was Trump's Cuban dictator, it is now apparent that Democrat Senator Bob Menendez is Biden's Cuban dictator.
       And so...in October of 2021 President Biden is making a liar out of President Obama's sacred promise he made to the Cuban people in 2016: "Cuba Does Not Need To Fear A Threat From the United States." Unfortunately for Cuba and for the United States, the twelve words shown above constitute a blatant U. S. lie now...and no one will ever be held responsible for it, of course.
In the 1950's, Batista.
In 2021, Mr. Menendez.

The Vast Anti-Cuba Cottage Industry

 From Miami, Havana, and Worldwide!!

    Since January of 1959 a vicious and well-funded Cottage Industry has existed in Miami and elsewhere designed to sanitize the ousted Mafia-riddled Batista THIEVERY and BRUTALITY in Cuba while also, of course, VILIFYING and EVISERATING everything the Cuban Revolution has done in the past 6+ decades. Such well-heeled and unending propaganda daily filters out to the world via the Internet and by powerful sources such as 14ymedio and Ciber Cuba News, both of which utilize Counter Revolutionary "journalists" headquartered in Havana with enormous clout despite their sheer and extreme anti-Cuban bias, which also paints a totally distorted version of Batista's Cuba that was, in fact, powerfully backed by the Mafia and by the United States. From Havana, Yoani Sanchez obviously has the best financial backing as well as the most political clout in Washington. So Yoani Sanchez's 14ymedio digital newspaper operation and her vast Social Media following best epitomizes the lucrative and vicious anti-Cuban Cottage Industry, even more than entities such as Miami's luscious Radio-TV Marti operation that has been LUSHLY financed by tax-dollars for the past three decades, with no end IN SIGHT!!!
        Today...on Sunday, October 17, 2021...the image posted above is typical of the anti-Cuban propaganda that Yoani Sanchez dispenses from Havana daily via her 14ymedio operation as well as her ubiquitous Social Media accounts. Yoani's photo above flashed around the world today showing a Cuban man's underwear replete with holes and she calls it "the face of the crisis in Cuba" and "there is no one who undresses in Cuba." OF COURSE...even juvenile, mocking, and insanely biased propaganda is effective when it is promoted excessively by ultra-rich and ultra-powerful sources.
      And, for sure, Yoani Sanchez is blessed with a lot of ultra-rich and ultra-powerful supporters in the United States -- including the two Cuban-American U. S. Senators who have dictated first the Trump administration's and now the Biden administration's lucrative but genocidal Cuban politics and policies. In the USA's two-party political system, the Republican Marco Rubio and the Democrat Bob Menendez have had no trouble dictating Cuban policies in the past five years as first presidents Trump and then Biden have expanded the cruel six-decade Embargo into an even crueler Blockade. Of course, Americans are programmed not to believe that...or at least not to DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!! But, for  sure, Yoani Sanchez knowns all about it and also does SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!

Will Cuba Survive COVID & Blockade

 Uh, MAYBE!!!

SUGGESTION:

      If you want to access vicious Cuban propaganda, such as 'learning' that the current 'regime' routinely machine-guns Cubans to keep control of the island, all you have to do any day is go online and access Cuban News on mainstream U. S. sources such as the Miami Herald, Washington Post, New York Times, etc., or visit ubiquitously vicious Counter Revolutionary blogs such as Ciber Cuba News, Radio-TV Marti, Babalu, 14medio, etc., etc., etc. If you frequent or even occasionally visit such sources, you will believe that Revolutionary Cuba will fall within a day or two, or perhaps in the next few hours. But, of course, such propaganda has prevailed since 1959 in the U. S. media and in U.S./Miami-friendly 'media sources' from inside Cuba. On the other hand, if you want actual unbiased Cuban News the best daily source is surely On Cuba News that has excellent and unbiased journalists posted in offices in both Havana and Miami. Thus, On Cuba News reports negative news regarding Cuba as well as positive news, and actually considers the opinions of everyday Cubans on the island, not just the opinions of the most extreme Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Little Havana/Miami, etc. And On Cuba News, in its fair and unbiased news coverage of daily aspects of Cuban life, is easily accessed online in either Spanish or English.
    Thus on Saturday, October 16, 2021, Cubans on the island are not getting routinely machine-gunned on the streets nor are they planning to overthrow their Revolutionary government within the next few days. So, as On Cuba News reports today {above} -- Oct. 16-2021 -- Cubans are pleased that their government can report that COVID-19's surge is sharply trending downward and..."....deaths also fell significantly to 19, the first time they have been in their twenties since the beginning of July."
      Also today -- Oct. 16-2021 -- Cuba can report that "...its borders will reopen on November 1, when travel to and from other Cuban provinces will be restored."
     This photo today -- Oct. 16-2021 -- was posted on social media outlets by two unmasked Cubans who love Havana and oppose any denigration of their government or the island's 13-million citizens.
  On Oct. 16-2021 this photo by Julian Sanabria shows a new trend involving Food Markets opening around the island, encouraged by the government that is promoting private ownership of such markets and farms.
   As it begins to get a handle on the Pandemic and is learning to live with the Trump-Biden Blockade, Cuba is opening its famous beaches to its own people and international tourists. The two photos above were taken at CAYO SANTA MARIA, which TripAdvisor this year lists as the Second Best Beach in the World in 2021. CAYO SANTA MARIA is just southeast of Florida, which doesn't have any beaches nearly listed that high.
And so....
Will the Revolution
Survive 2021???
MAYBE!!!
