Mexico Gives Cuba A GREAT Week

 Well Deserved, Well Appreciated!!

        Born on April 20th, 1960 -- after the Jan. 1-1959 triumph of the Cuban Revolution -- Miguel Diaz-Canel -- has been the President of Revolutionary Cuba since 2018 and in 2021 his leadership of Cuba was further expanded when he was also named Secretary. Contrary to what the U. S. media and the U. S. government say, Diaz-Canel is very popular with a strong majority of everyday Cubans and that has been so since he spent five years as Cuba's Education Minister.
       But this week in mid-September of 2021 has been the best and most prestigious week that Diaz-Canel has had both in Cuba, in the region, and around the world. That is because of the crucial support Diaz-Canel is receiving from his dear friend Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the influential President of Mexico!!! Back in July in a blistering speech that was streamed live on international television and on the internet, Lopez Obrador excoriated the U. S. blockade of Cuba and called it "inhumane" against Cuban families on the island, especially during the pandemic. And back on Thursday of this week as Mexico lavishly celebrated its greatest holiday that marked the 211th anniversary of its Independence Day, Lopez Obrador make sure that Cuba's Diaz-Canel was indelibly spotlighted as the prime guest and prime speaker during the Independence Day extravaganzas. While praising Diaz-Canel profoundly, Lopez Obrador purposely embarrassed Ken Salazar, the U. S. ambassador to Mexico, by repeating words such as: "No nation has a right to commit genocide against people in another nation, a nation that is much smaller."
     For two days this week Diaz-Canel and Lopez Obrador spent a lot of time in private conversations.
     In fact this week, President Lopez Obrador and his wife/First Lady Beatriz Gutierrez spent a lot of time with President Diaz-Canel and his wife/First Lady Lis Cuesta Peraza. {Above Lis is beside Lopez Obrador and Beatriz is beside Diaz-Canel}.
      And this weekend President Lopez Obrador of Mexico hosted the CELAC Conference that is comprised of 32 Caribbean and Latin American nations. And ONCE AGAIN President Lopez Obrador made sure to excoriate the U. S. for its blockade of Cuban families. The international media particularly quoted Lopez Obrador for saying, "No state has the right to subjugate masses of people in another state, another country, and the U. S. has tried to subjugate Cuba decade-after-decade with a perverse and inhumane embargo that it has enlarged to an even crueler blockade during the pandemic."
    As the host this weekend of the 32-nation CELAC Conference, Mexico's President Lopez Obrador pointed out that the OAC -- The Organization of American States -- is a tool of the United States, as are the international banks, and thus they "support U.S.-led genocide against Cuban families during the pandemic. Thus, Caribbean and Latin American nations not selling out to the U. S. must show compassion for Cuban families on their island. Selling national sovereignty to a superpower is appealing, I guess, but there should be limits."
     On Thursday when Mexico celebrated its 211 Years of Independence, the major speaker and guest was Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
    At this weekend's meeting of the 32 Caribbean and Latin American states, Miguel Diaz-Canel again was the major speaker in Mexico City, making sure that Cuba's views on the U. S. blockade were aired.
     At the CELAC meeting Mexican President Lopez Obrador denounced Europe for allowing the U. S. blockade of Cuba "to exist."
    At the CELAC meeting this weekend Nicolas Maduro, the President of Venezuela, said, "I was supposed to be replaced by the hand-picked President owned by Miami Cubans and the U. S. government. But the President of Bolivia was chased out of his country by a coup by the Miami Cubans and the U. S. government but the lady they picked as Bolivia's President has now been put in prison by the Bolivian people and charged with murder on behalf of the victims killed by the coup, so Bolivia is again Cuba's friend. President Ortega of Nicaragua, who had a Fidel-like revolution to beat the U.S.-armed rebels, is still in office but facing the same threats from the Miami Cubans and the U. S. that I am and other friends of Cuba are facing. So, President Lopez Obrador, I suppose you are a threat to the Miami Cubans and the U. S. now that you want to save Cuban families from genocide."
       So for sure, it has been a big and prestigious week for Cuba and its President Miguel Diaz-Canel, thanks to the spotlight that Mexico's President Lopez Obrador has placed on Cuba, Cuba's President, and the U. S. Blockade of the island. Lopez Obrador back in July had begun his blistering campaign to powerfully denounce the U. S. blockade of Cuba but this week he used both Independence Day in Mexico as well as the 32-nation CELAC Conference to drive home his belief that the U. S. Blockade of Cuban families should be ended once and fall!!!
    In this memorable week for Cuban families on the island, Mexico's President Lopez Obrador said, "Back in 1996 the rich Miami Cubans legalized the Helms-Burton Act that still in 2021 that the U. S. Congress is prohibited to erase even though it is a blueprint to commit genocide against Cubans in Cuba while it also serves as a blueprint for making the already rich U. S. Cubans richer and richer. Somewhere and someday all those riches must be viewed in their proper perspectives, which acknowledges the genocide Cubans in their sovereign country must endure to endlessly enrich Cubans in the U. S. along with their political supporters."
Thank You,
Mr. President!!!

Mexico Saving Cuba from US

 Mexico Wants Latin American Help

To Save Cuba!!

      Yesterday as Mexico celebrated its biggest and most important holiday -- the 211th anniversary of its Independence Day -- Mexican President Lopez Obrador made sure to make Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel the prime headliner, prime guest, and prime speaker. Prior to yesterday's Independence Day in Mexico on September 16th, 2021, Lopez Obrador back in July had made a blistering speech that was streamed live around the world in which he excoriated the United States for its "inhumane" blockade of Cuba during the COVID-19 pandemic. His denunciation resonated around the world and precipitated nations such as Italy, Spain, Vietnam, Argentina, Russia, China, Bolivia, etc., to fly and ship humanitarian aid to the Cuban people.
   After yesterday's daylong and massive Independence Day activities in Mexico, President Lopez Obrador is shown above holding a meeting sitting directly across from Diaz-Canel to again stress Mexico's desire to "...save Cuban families, the mothers and their children, from the starvation tactics of the United States beneficiaries during the pandemic. All of the Caribbean and all of Latin America should join us in this fight. To not do so might lead to the loss of their own sovereignty somewhere down the road. Back in the 1950s when the U. S. and the mafia supported Batista in Cuba for financial reasons, they were also supporting brutal dictators like Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, and Somoza in Nicaragua...and then Nixon and Kissinger a little later was orchestrating coups to overturn, kill, democratically elected President Allende in Chile to replace him for almost two decades with the brutal but U.S.-friendly Pinochet dictatorship. We must not, in the Caribbean and Latin America, return to U.S.-backed dictatorships like Batista, Trujillo, Somoza, Pinochet, and the like." As this photo reveals, Cuba's President Diaz-Canel was taking written notes as Mexico's President Lopez Obrador spoke.
     After the well-attended meeting, the private talks between Diaz-Canel and Lopez Obrador further stressed Mexico's plan to "...save Cuban families, mothers and children, from the inhumane and perverse U. S. blockade..."
    Normally in the U. S. media the myriad of Counter Revolutionary and well-funded sources spend their existence promoting anti-Cuban propaganda, but so do mainstream media, especially the Counter Revolutionary leaders at the Miami Herald. Here is the Miami Herald headline about Diaz-Canel's visit to Mexico: "CUBA LEADER'S MEXICO TRIP HIGHLIGHTS FOREIGN POLICY IN THE REGION." Of course, intelligent and unbiased Americans don't believe anything the Miami Herald says about Cuba but other major media sources also promote and benefit from such Cuban propaganda. But Mexico's fervent support for Cuban families during the pandemic has been reported somewhat fairly by some major U. S. media sources, such as the Associated Press article depicted above.
    Meanwhile in the U. S. the Counter Revolutionaries that have hoped and planned for the Trump-Biden presidencies to take full advantage of  COVID-19 to finally regain control of Cuba are rejoicing about the deadly statistics reported daily from the island on the pandemic. Today -- Sept. 17, 2021 -- Dr. Francisco Duran {above} reported that the number of deaths, fallecidos, from COVID-19 have reach 6676, and continues to sharply increase daily.
     During the pandemic Cuba's western Provinces that include Havana have been the hardest hit but Dr. Duran's figures today -- Sept. 17-2021 -- reveal that the central and eastern Provinces {as shown above} are also alarmingly being hit, as the new cases of COVID-19 shown above reveal from the Central and Eastern Provinces.
     Today -- September 17, 2021 -- Cuba began a program to vaccinate all children on the island from ages 2 to 11. To his everlasting credit, the President of Mexico, Lopez Obrador, is doing everything in his power to make sure Cuban mothers and children on the island survive!!!!
   As this internationally renowned Carlos LaTuff statement {shown above} emphatically attests, to the USA's everlasting shame there are some rich and powerful people in the world's most powerful nation who are taking advantage of COVID-19 to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba that overthrew the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship way back on January 1, 1959. On September 17-2021 there remains the possibility that the twin perils of the EMBARGO and COVID-19 will finally recapture the Caribbean's largest, most beautiful, and most pugnacious island nation.
       If Cuba survives the Embargo & the Pandemic, the President of Mexico...Lopez Obrador...has taken on the daunting task of trying to make sure that Revolutionary Cuba does indeed survive!!

Mexico Warlike Opposing US Cuban Blockade

 A Priority for Mexico!!

     Today -- September 16, 2021 -- was and is a huge day for Mexico as it celebrates the 211th year of its Independence!! But incredibly, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador dedicated the day to his blistering eviscerations of the United States for its "inhumane and perverse blockade that is committing genocide against masses of Cuban families on a sovereign and dignified island nation in our hemisphere."
    Also incredibly, during its massive military parade and other celebrations of its Independence Day, Mexico put the spotlight on its prime guest speaker -- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel!!!
     Of course, Cuba's leader, President Diaz-Canel, lavishly celebrated Mexico's Independence Day while also massively thanking Mexican President Lopez Obrador for his tireless effort to end the U. S. blockade of Cuba.
     After both President Diaz-Canel and President Lopez Obrador delivered their scathing speeches denouncing the U. S. blockade of Cuba, both men then sat and stood beside each other during their proud and solemn observances of Mexico's Independence Day.
     Mexico celebrated its Independence Day with what was the most lavish military parade ever performed by a Latin American nation. It included a huge march of thousands of well-equipped soldiers, hundreds of large and modern vehicles and weapons, and an impressive jet flyover. It was televised live to much of the world and the replays are worth reviewing via YouTube and other means.
   But, clearly, most on President Lopez Obrador's mind and heart today was his fervent denunciation of the United States for its "perverse, inhumane blockade of masses of Cuban families."
      President of Mexico Lopez Obrador made it plain that he wanted Cuban President Diaz-Canel as his prime guest at Mexico's Independence Day celebration. In his denunciation of the U. S. blockade of Cuba today while celebrating Mexico's Independence Day, President Lopez Obrador, in his long and blistering speech, celebrated Revolutionary Cuba while saying that too many Americans...meaning in Little Havana/Miami and in Washington/Congress/White House...simply "gain too much money and too power from their successful promotion of genocide against Cuban families that live on the island nation."
    Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel was spotlighted as the prime speaker at Mexico's Independence Day celebrations today -- September 16, 2021. It was a huge statement for Cuba and Mexico but mostly for the United States.
      Of course, the mainstream media in the United States...led by the propaganda-obsessed Miami Herald...is tightly aligned with "those who gain too much money and power" from what decent people such as President Lopez Obrador call "perverse and inhumane genocide against Cuban families." As you can see above, the blistering Editorial in the Miami Herald lambasted Cuban President Diaz-Canel because he was the prime guest at Mexico's mammoth Independence Day. It is yet another Cuban propaganda piece in the Miami Herald that implies that Batista's Cuba in the 1950s was the best government in history while Revolutionary Cuba, because it defeated the brutal Mafia-riddled Batistiano dictatorship, is worthy of a genocidal recapture. Meanwhile, as you can see above, the Mexico News Daily reported on Diaz-Canel's emphasis at Mexico's Independence Day in the manner a real newspaper should have reported on it by explaining why the Cuban President was "the guest of honor at Mexico's independence celebrations." WOW!! There was a time prior to 1959 when the Miami Herald too was a real newspaper...not the purveyor of Batistiano/Little Havana propaganda that published the headline/"opinion" depicted above.
    What happened at Mexico's extremely important Independence Day celebrations was extremely important to Cuba, Mexico, Miami, and the entire United States of America. When the United States no longer has a News Media that has the will and the integrity to explain extremely important things to the American people, perhaps the United States has evolved into a citizenry that doesn't care if they, in a powerful nation, are committing genocide against masses of people in a much smaller nation. But Mexico today -- on its greatest holiday -- stressed the denunciation of the United States for what President Lopez Obrador labels genocide against President Diaz-Canel's Cuban people.

Cubans Hopeful of Survival

 Despite Blockade & COVID on Sept. 15-2021!!

    Behind the COVID mask this is Lisbet Penin Matos. She is still in her 20s and she is a very talented and popular television news anchor. Lisbet believes Cuba will survive both the U. S. Blockade and the COVID-19 pandemic. Like most well-educated and media savvy young Cubans, Lisbet uses Social Media platforms to repeat, for example, her favorite John Lennon words: "You may say I'm a dreamer; but I am not the only one."
      Today -- on September 15, 2021 -- above are the Top Cuban Headlines. The London-based The Guardian headline reflects a report on an actual opinion by the Cuban government regarding the "Havana Syndrome" that Cuba considers yet another excuse for the U. S. to continue to expand the Embargo/Blockade of the island. The other two Cuban Headlines above are from the mainstream United States media today-- namely the New York Times and the Miami Herald -- and that means it is anti-Cuban propaganda, which is what the American people are spoon-fed on a daily basis.
      The New York Times anti-Cuban article today used this Ramon Espinosa/Associated Press photo to illustrate its mocking of Cuba for being the only nation to begin a COVID-19 program that vaccinates all of its children aged 2 to 18.
      This image from Cuban television today -- Sept. 15th, 2021 -- shows Doctor Francisco Duran updating Cubans on the still-alarming COVID-19 statistics. They reveal 74 more deaths, fallecidos, in the past 24 hours as well as 7437 new positive cases on the island.
       This 7-year-old Cuban girl has been vaccinated with the island's home-grown Soberana vaccine and, like other school children, she has begun the new school term with virtual lessons via television. But the current plan calls for in-class schooling to resume next month, by mid-October.
     Also next month Cuba plans to open more of its international airports to accommodate more much-needed tourism. The Madrid-based Iberostar Hotel & Resorts chain is now again promoting its eighteen 4-Star and 5-Star hotels and resorts in Cuba, emphasizing the island's renowned beaches such as Varadero that has been listed as the Most Beautiful Beach in the World. In fact, in 2021 TripAdvisor lists Santa Maria, which is near Varadero, as The Second Most Beautiful Beach in the World
      Above are photos by Iberostar Hotels & Resorts that it is using to promote Cuban tourism in September-October of 2021. Except...uh...for the U. S. Embargo/Blockade of the island, would Cuba tourism slice deeply into Florida's and all of the Caribbean's tourism dollars??? Just ASKING!!!
