A Coup In Cuba on November 15-2021??

 THE LATEST TARGET DATE IS FIRMLY SET!!

     Especially for the past two years the pugnacious but vulnerable island nation of Cuba has faced the twin perils of a vicious and genocidal expansion of the ageless U. S. Blockade of the island imposed by both the Trump and Biden administrations in Washington...as well as the COVID-19 PANDEMIC that in recent weeks had devastated the island. And now -- on Friday, October 15, 2021 -- the U. S. media and powerful Counter Revolutionary media on the island such as 14media and Ciber Cuba News are loudly heralding/promoting the overthrow of Revolutionary Cuba and listing the imminent date as November 15th-2021. Meanwhile, as shown above, Cuba's renowned Dr. Francisco Duran today -- Oct. 15-2021 -- announced a myriad of COVID-19 statistics that indicate the island's massive vaccination program using its own vaccines are sharply reducing the previously devastating numbers. The Prensa Latina caption above notes that Dr. Duran reports today that the new COVID cases in the past 24 hours total 2138 and the total of COVID deaths are 24 as shown above, and Prensa Latina says those number are "the lowest numbers in the past two months."

        So...it appears that Cuba is getting a handle on the COVID-19 pandemic even at its begins to re-open its borders to tourism. But...what about the target date of November 15-2021 in which determined and apparently well-supported Counter Revolutionary zealots will finally overthrow the current Cuban government? Well...the supposed overthrow is supposedly exactly one month from now, so let's take a peek at it!!!!

    London-based Reuters has an excellent and unbiased news bureau in Havana and that world-class and non-USA news agency included this week the major update on the November 15th-2021 protest-coup that is predicted by some to be able to overthrow the revolutionary Cuban government. And, of course, any organization or leader of any serious movement to try to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba has, since 1959, gotten massive support from Miami and Washington...and this latest serious movement is no exception. Its leader, as Reuters explains above, is Junior Garcia.

       In other words, it appears that Junior Garcia on November 15th-2021 envisions himself as replicating what Fidel Castro accomplished on JANUARY 1ST-1959.

    On January 1st, 1959, Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution accomplished the impossible -- beating the powerful Batista dictatorship that was supported by the Mafia, the most powerful criminal organization in the world, and by the United States, the strongest nation in the world. But in 1952 and 1953 when Fidel Castro began his revolution, he had the overwhelming support of the vast majority of the non-Batistiano Cubans on the entire island. And in October of 2021, although he died in 2016 at age 90, Fidel Castro remains to this day the most important factor in Cuba...and the main reason that the November 15th-2021 resurrection will likely fail, as all other well-backed attempts to overthrow Castro's Cuba have failed repeatedly since JANUARY OF 1959!!!

      The current President of Cuba is Miguel Diaz-Canel, who was born in 1960, the year after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. But Diaz-Canel worships Fidel Castro's legacy and he is a fierce defender of the Revolution. And he also is very popular with a strong majority of everyday Cubans on the island, and that has been so since he was the island's Education Minister. As President, Diaz-Canel continues to converse with Cubans on the streets on a regular basis, and he is skilled at communicating with them via television and radio.

    This image of President Miguel Diaz-Canel shows him on island-wide television today -- October 15th, 2021. He spoke of...the Blockade, the COVID pandemic, mercenaries, etc. Regarding the latter topic, Diaz-Canel referred to the "Upcoming Well-funded protest that is set for November 15th. As was the case back in July, as has been the case so often since January of 1959...the strength of the Cuban Revolution comes from the resolve of the Cuban people. If we are not willing to die to defend the revolution, surely it would not have existed for all these days and decades. As we deal with the Blockade and the Pandemic and with stabilizing our economy, I am not worried about yet another foreign-backed attempt to end our revolution. Yesterday a student at the University of Havana said, 'Mr. President, if we lose on November 15th, we want you know that by nightfall on November 15th our new revolution will have already begun.' Well, I thanked her but I told her that will not be necessary...because of Cubans like her."

      Today -- Friday, October 15, 2021 -- the photo above of Junior Garcia headlined a huge Editorial in the ultra-rich and ultra-powerful Washington Post. The article is entitled: OPINION: CUBA'S PEACEFUL OPPOSITION MOUNTS A COMEBACK." The Washington Post, of course, is owned by Jeff Bezos, the richest person in the history of the entire world. Jeff Bezos's stepfather is Miguel Bezos who was born in Cuba, of course. So, today Jeff Bezos's powerful Washington Post, not surprisingly, was celebrating Junior Garcia's "PEACEFUL" protest in Cuba on November 15th-2021...a "protest" that Jeff Bezos, history's all-time richest person, apparently hopes will finally overthrow Revolutionary Cuba.

      History registers the fact that the richly prepared air-land-and-sea BAY OF PIGS military attack that was backed with massive U. S. tax dollars was PREDICTED to easily overthrow Revolutionary Cuba in just a day or two in April of 1961. But in fact it took just three days for Fidel Castro-led rebels to register a smashing defensive victory {above}...with the prime mistake of the CIA and the U. S. politicians regarding the BAY OF PIGS was underestimating the massive support that Fidel Castro had from the majority of the Cubans on the island. In other words, if Counter Revolutionary zealots such as Junior Garcia in Cuba or Jeff Bezos in the U. S. really want to overthrow revolutionary Cuba on November 15th-2021...I assume they might make the same mistake that the extremely rich BAY OF PIGS attackers made in mid-April of 1961.

Cuba's Economy Staggering But Improving

The Cuban People Updated on the Economy!!

{October 14th, 2021} 

     Today Cuba's Economic Minister Alejandro Gil Fernandez went on television and radio and answered questions about the state of the island's economy. He said:

         "Our economic priorities are the Blockade, escaping COVID, confronting inflation, and the sustainability of the national electrical energy system. We are heading towards a process of gradual recovery of the economy, opening various services including tourism, and the implementation of measures such as adding 60 more private business sectors, and adding four more non-agricultural cooperatives."

      Cuba's COVID-19 statistics for today -- October 14th, 2021 -- are slightly worse than yesterday but still trending sharply downward from recent weeks. The number of new cases total 2364 and the total of deaths in the past 24 hours total 38. The slight uptick might relate to the increased number of tourist flights this week.

     Of the 2364 new COVID-19 cases today, females lead the male population 1262 to 1102. And the number of new cases involving those under 20-years-old were 516.

     Although the World Health Organization is still reviewing the efficacy of Cuba's prime COVID-19 vaccines -- Soberana and Abdala -- Cuban scientists and the Cuban people overall appear to be encouraged by the actual results so far.

Cuba Opens Up To Tourists

 

    Spanish-owned and Canadian-owned airplanes are flying tourists to Cuba's world-class beaches.

     On Cuba's north-central coast directly southeast of South Florida, TripAdvisor this year of 2021 lists CAYO SANTA MARIA as the Second Best Beach in the Whole World and nearby VARADERO has often been rated the #One Beach in the Whole World!!

    The reason Cuba has now reopened its vital tourism to international visitors is depicted today -- October 13-2021 -- by these updated COVID-19 statistics for the past 24 hours. The island's urgent vaccination program appears to be resulting in a sharp downward trend on new positives cases as well as deaths from the pandemic. As shown above, in the last 24 hours there have been 2354 new cases and 28 new fallecidos {deaths}. Those new statistics today are drastically lower than they were just a few weeks ago. And as shown above, now the total number of deaths from COVID-19 total 7956 in a population of 13 million.

        Meanwhile, for the next month -- on a specific date in November of 2021 -- the vast and well-funded Counter Revolutionary media in both the U. S. and in Cuba will saturate their readers and viewers with the latest "absolute" PREDICTIONS that "the current Cuban REGIME will be overthrown!!!!" But, of course, such drastic predictions have been ubiquitous every day since THE 1ST OF JANUARY-1959!!!!

   In the interview above, Antoni Kapcia made a valid point: If any foreign power, even if its the nearby World Superpower, makes the same mistakes time-and-again, little Revolutionary Cuba will prolong its longevity. And that point is this, I believe: From 1952 until this very day on October 13-2021, most of the people on the island have strongly supported their favorite rebel, Fidel Castro -- not Batista, not Lucky Luciana and the Mafia, and not the United States. If that was not so, Revolutionary Cuba would have been overthrown many decades ago...and might even survive the latest prediction of its demise in November of 2021!!!!!

          In other words, as visitors to Cuba have known and will still detect, from 1952 till October of 2021, the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, has been revered by most Cubans on the island. Although he died at age 90 in 2016, that still remains a fact to this DAY although, of course, Americans are told that is not so.

Cuban Vaccines ARE Fighting COVID

 

     This jab was administered today -- October 11-2021 -- as Cuban mothers & fathers are expressing pleasure with the island's home-grown vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic.

        Above are Cuba's updated COVID-19 statistics covering the past 24 hours. Recently the pandemic surge had alarmed the island's 11 million citizens but apparently the nationwide vaccine program is showing positive dividends now. The confirmed new positive cases...3604...are sharply downward from recent weeks...as are the number of deaths...39...in the last 24 hours.

     So, Cuba's COVID-19 numbers for today -- October 11-2021 including the confirmed 3604 new cases in the last 24 hours -- reveal an encouraging downward trend on the Caribbean's largest island.

US Media Hurts Cubans, Americans

 With Biased-Unfair-Obsessive Cuban Propaganda!!!

     Although he is a beloved and renowned Doctor in Miami, Julio V Ruiz doesn't exist as far as the U. S. media is concerned. That is because the brilliant Dr. Ruiz, like most Cuban-Americans, strongly opposes Miami's and the USA's genocide against Cuban families on the island that is especially being promoted by the last two U. S. presidential administrations -- Trump's and Biden's. While the U. S. media readily promotes extreme ant-Cuban propaganda as concocted by extreme Cuban dissidents on the island and extreme Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami and Washington, Dr. Ruiz's erudite and decent views about genocide being perpetrated against Cuban families on the island is ignored by the U. S. media. Therefore......!!!

      And so, Dr. Julio V Ruiz...ignored by the U. S. media...today did what everyday Cubans on the island do everyday!! Today -- October 11th-2021 -- Dr. Ruiz went on Social Media to post his views about the Miami-USA genocide against Cuban families on the island. I believe sincerely that Americans should read the message {above} that Dr. Ruiz today posted on Facebook and Twitter for all the world to see. If you take time to read it, you will see that the great Dr. Ruiz's message posted on Facebook today is addressed directly to @POTUS, the President of the United States Joe Biden.

OF COURSE:

    If any extreme anti-Cuba dissident in Cuba or any extreme anti-Cuba Cuban-American extremist in Miami wanted to express their extreme anti-Cuba views, the U. S. media would be eager to broadly publish it!! And for that reason, Presidents such as Trump and Biden can self-servingly EXPAND the U. S. Embargo/Blockade against Cuba that ALREADY was the longest and cruelest Embargo/Blockade ever imposed by any powerful nation against any much-smaller nation!!!!

     The Presidential Election in 2020, to the surprise of many, only served to expand what decent people like Dr. Julio V Ruiz in Miami consider to be genocide against Cuban families on the island.

Thank You...Dr. Julio V Ruiz!!

Remembering A GREAT Cuban Heroine

May 17, 1928: Santiago de Cuba.

October 4th, 2021: In Havana.

     In 2004 the George W. Bush administration -- although a part of the vast Bush dynasty that was/is an important part of the Little Havana/Miami Counter Revolutionary U. S. assualts against Cuba -- allowed me to visit Cuba for the purpose of researching the incomparable revolutionary heroine Celia Sanchez...apparently because the Bush dynasty wanted to know why there were so many statues of Celia in Cuba but none of Fidel Castro. 

      Once in Havana the first person I asked to meet was Marta Rojas because I knew that Marta -- as a legendary revolutionary, journalist, author, and historian -- knew more about Celia Sanchez, Fidel Castro, and the Cuban Revolution than anyone on the planet. From the moment I met Marta she became a lifelong friend that I have treasured. Yes, tirelessly Marta spoke to me about Celia Sanchez, Fidel Castro, and the Revolution. Then when I returned to my home in Wyoming, Marta and I exchanged many emails between Havana and Laramie pertaining to my biography of Celia Sanchez that was published in 2005. Among other things, Marta emailed me a copy of the obituary that she had written and was published on the Front Page of Cuba's main newspaper, Granma, when Celia Sanchez died of cancer on January 11, 1980.

       Needless to say, for the decades since 2004 I stayed in touch with MARTA ROJAS as best I could, especially on her birthdays. So, this has been a sad week for me since last Monday -- October 4th-2021 -- when she died at age 93 in Havana. Three years ago on Marta's 90th BIRTHDAY I wrote the following tribute to MARTA ROJAS in which I tried to explain what she meant to me and to the world. That tribute is re-posted here today:

cubaninsider: A 90th Birthday for Marta Rojas:     A great Cuban has celebrated a great birthday on the island.  Marta Rojas turned 90-years-old a few days ago. She was born on Ma...

Thanks for CARING about her

Cuba TODAY: October 6-2021

CUBA'S DAY OF INFAMY!! 

    Today in Havana this Grandmother has been crying all day...and not because of either the genocidal U. S. Blockade or the COVID-19 Pandemic. She is crying because today -- October 6th-2021 -- is the 45th Anniversary of a Day that will forever remain a DAY of INFAMY in Cuba. And so today...this actual Grandmother is crying in Havana as she still mourns the teenage son that was murdered on October 6th-1976 by well-known Cubans well-protected by and well-paid by the U. S. government during its ever-lasting efforts to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba.

     While Americans are programmed not to care, for the past 45 years the moment and date above has been seared in the memories of Cubans on the island each second since 12:23 PM on October 6-1976. That was the moment and the date that the civilian Cubana Flight 455 airplane was blown into the ocean by a terrorist bomb...killing all 72 innocent people on board, including two dozen teenage athletes who were returning to Havana after winning Gold Medals in a Central American Tournament in Caracas, Venezuela. ACCORDING TO DE-CLASSFIED U. S. DOCUMENTS BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE DISASTER, the U. S. had the names of the well-known Cuban terrorists who had planned and executed the event.

    Today -- October 6th-2021 -- this photo shows Cubans in Havana remembering their loved ones murdered on this day exactly 45 years ago by Counter Revolutionary U. S. Cubans.

     On October 6th-1976 this historic photo shows a sister and a mother who were waiting at the Havana Airport for the return of their brother and son on CUBAN FLIGHT 455. The moment depicted above shows the moment the sister and mother were officially told that the airplane had crashed into the ocean and that there were no survivors.

     Every day that has passed since October 6th-2021 sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, and grandparents on the island have paid homage and tears on behalf of the precious victims of the terrorist bombing of Cubana Flight 455. But for all the while since October 6th-1976 Americans have been told that such victims were merely "collarateral DAMAGE" as Luis Posada Carriles once famously said in a NY Times interview. Posada and Orlando Bosch, were the two most famed Cuban terrorists mentioned by those de-classified U. S. documents related to the bombing of Cubana Flight 455. But for decades both Posada and Bosch proudly used their ties to Little Havana/Miami and the U. S. government to commit countless Counter Revolutionary terror against Revolutionary Cuba...and both Posada and Bosch didn't mind bragging about such events.

     Of course, both Bosch & Posada lived out long and heralded lives before dying of old age in South Florida as cherished Little Havana/Miami heroes.

  Many declassified U. S. documents chronicle the terrorism committed by Posada, Bosch, etc. against innocent Cubans for decades,  such as shown above.

     So, of course, have brave non-U. S. media sources such as the great London-based BBC, as shown above.

      But, tuh...this montage above shows Luis Posada Carriles being interviewed by Maria Elvira Salazar. In the history of the Miami media, Salazar is the most famous and most notable Spanish journalist. Her long softball interview with Posada depicted above is still easily accessed on YouTube.

GUESS WHAT??

   As of January of 2021, Maria Elvira Salazar became the latest Little Havana-propelled member of the United States Congress. Of course, getting your Cuban information from Little Havana politicians and journalists like Congresswoman Salazar is, uh, problematic to say the least.

    But the truth is, every day of every year since 1976  -- and not JUST on October 6th-2021 -- Cubans on the island have mourned "The victims of the terrorist Posada Carriles & the CIA."

     Of course, that Cuban mother shown above surrounded by her friends and relatives in Havana, to this day is devastated for her son and the other victims of CUBANA FLIGHT 455 way back on October 6th-1976, exactly 45 years ago. In Miami courtrooms there have been millions of dollars doled out to Cubans who have been able to sue Cuba for whatever they want to sue Cuba for, with Cuba, of course, never even represented. I wonder IF someone like that mother in Havana shown above could ever sue in a U. S. courtroom for the death of her son on CUBANA FLIGHT 455??

Posada a Miami hero.

A sister & mother in Havana.

October 6, 1976.

A Day of Infamy for Cuba.

But not for the United States.
