4 Days Till March 15th

Some Key Non-U.S. Ideas on Cuba Coup!!

    Some important Western Hemispheric politicians & intellectuals, including former Latin American Presidents, are direly concerned that next Monday's "Protests" firmly scheduled on November 15-2021 are actually planned as the start of a coup that supposedly will finally overthrow the Revolutionary rulers of the Caribbean's largest island. {See some of the names listed above}.
    Today -- Nov. 11th-2021, 4 days prior to the "Protests" -- above are the top headlines related to Cuba. U. S. mainstream media...including the Miami Herald, of course, but many others...are busy fanning the flames of what they hope will be the end of Revolutionary Cuba, implying that the Mafia-riddled/U.S.-riddled Batista dictatorship that preceded it in the 1950s is what Cuba now needs and that is exactly what most the Cubans on the island  in November of 2021 want. But, OF COURSE...the U. S. media -- along with the massive Counter Revolutionary sources such as CiberCuba, yMedio, Radio-TV Marti, Babalu, ect. -- never care what everyday Cubans on the island think, just what dissidents & Counter Revolutionaries think.
    But, perhaps, the Social Media photos shown above today reflect what Cubans are thinking on Nov. 11-2021 although, of course, they also are abundantly aware of the "Protests/COUP" set for Nov. 15-2021. Mostly today, it appears, Cuban mothers, doctors, and schoolkids are concerned with the vaccinations that appear to be sharply curtailing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it appears that most everyday Cubans on the island today are...hoping the "Protests/COUP" will not hurt them while they are also looking forward to Nov. 15-2021 when schools, universities, businesses, and full tourism are scheduled to resume across their island.
    And, of course, none of the aforementioned U. S. media gives a hoot about what Cuban officials say about NOV. 15 PROTESTS, but as you see above that the London-based Reuters News Agency is not so biased. So, Reuters permits its worldwide audience to see and hear what Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said today, which is: "Cuba says United States, Facebook Helping to Foment Nov. 15 Protests." WONDERFUL!!! Whether or not Bruno's assessment is correct, at least there are non-U. S. controlled international news outlets that allow him to air his views about a topic that will have major repercussions on Monday, Nov. 15-2021.
    And, of course, in April of 1961 the historic air-land-sea Bay of Pigs military attack was supposed to easily overthrow Revolutionary Cuba.
     And, of course, in the 1990s the legalization of the historic Helms-Burton Act was supposed to enrich rich Cubans in Miami while also starving Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their post-Batista revolutionary government. To this day -- in November of 2021 -- the Helms-Burton Act continues to enrich and empower selected U. S. Cubans but the other purpose, which was to starve Cubans on the island to induce them to overthrow their rebel leaders, has not worked after all these many decades.
    And, of course, since 1962 the UN and the citizens of the world, almost in unanimity, have begged the United States to "lift" the genocidal Embargo/Blockade against Cuban families on the island. But, as illustrated above by the great Brazilian editorialist Carlos Latuff, the gutlessness and heartlessness of the U. S. people have allowed the last two U. S. Presidents -- Trump and Biden -- to cruelly and greedily expand the cruelty of the cruel Embargo that began in 1962.
WOW!!! 
     In November of 2021 the U. S. citizens who have allowed the Trump and Biden administrations to greedily and greatly expand the cruel 1962 Embargo against Cuban mothers and their children are now programmed to not give a damn about what the young mother shown above thinks. This mother, like most Cuban mothers, is very active on Social Media, where she posted this heart-felt photo and message. I know for a fact that she is very smart, very well-educated, a loving mother, and she lives far southeast of Havana. And she has opinions about things such as...her young son, about Miami and the U. S., and about the "Protests/COUP" on Nov. 15-2021 that she has heard so much about. The U. S. media lavishly tells Americans why the genocidal Embargo/Blockade and why the upcoming "Protests/COUP" are necessary...but the U. S. media {for the USA's sake} also needs to have the fairness and the courage to also mention what Cuban mothers like this Cuban mother think.
    In Cuba it seems that there are many young mothers who don't want to join a coup next Monday nor do they want a free trip across the Florida Straits to Miami. They want their babies and children to survive the Pandemic, the Blockade, and the Protests/coup set for Nov. 15th-2021.
     Like all LITTLE GIRLS, these LITTLE GIRLS in Cuba deserve the right to live without being punished or destroyed by a Pandemic or by an endless Blockade imposed by rich and greedy people living in a much more powerful nation. As a Democracy-loving American, it is incredible, I think, that I should even have to make that point!!

Cuba: "We Will Defend Cuba on Nov. 15th"

 

    The photo above and the photo below were taken today -- Nov. 10-2021 -- by Adolberto Roque for the Paris-based AFP News Agency. It shows 39-year-old dissident Yunior Garcia speaking on his phone from his apartment balcony in Havana.

        On Nov. 15-2021 the U. S. media is giddy in reporting that -- in five days on Nov. 20th -2021 -- Yunior Garcia will lead Protests in Cuba that will finally end as the COUP that ends the Cuban Revolution's rule of the Caribbean's largest island.
    In the United States the media reports on what Yunior Gomez and his supporters say but never what Cuba or everyday Cubans say about the impending Nov. 15th-2021 coup that supposedly finally has the wherewithal to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. But everyday Cubans on Social Media and Cuban officials like Bruno Rodriguez {above} have repeatedly stated that they will defend the Revolution on Nov. 15th-2021 "just as we have done so many times since 1959."
    For many years Bruno Rodriguez has spoken for Cuba in Washington, at the UN in New York, and elsewhere. Even with many unbiased U. S. journalists, Bruno is well respected.
    Today -- on Nov. 10th-2021 as shown above -- Bruno Rodriguez spoke live on Cuban television and radio about Cuba's position regarding the Nov. 15th-2021 Protests that Cuba believes is meant to be the Coup that will try to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. As the synopsis above reveals, Bruno Rodriguez told the Cuban people that the upcoming Coup attempt on Nov. 15th-2021 is being funded by money from the U. S. and that the Coup by the "Yankees and puppets" will fail...again. Regardless of what the U. S. reports, unbiased and renowned journalists who actually work on the island believe that most Cubans on the island believe what Bruno Rodriguez said.
    As a highly respected journalist & author who has reported for two decades in Cuba for the London-based RETUERS news agency, Marc Frank today, as usual, penned the best international news article regarding what is about to occur in Cuba on Nov. 15th-2021. Whether it is positive or negative news about Cuba, Marc Frank it is known to be truthful. His article today -- Nov. 10th-2021 -- reported on what dissident leader Yunior Garcia told Reuters that he and his friends like Fernando are not "seeking to violently overthrow the government" and he also told Reuters: "He said he has never taken U. S. funds."
   Also today -- Nov. 10-2021 -- the great & honest journalist Marc Frank/Reuters told the world that the upcoming protests/coup against Cuba on Nov. 15th-2021 is "being led by a Facebook group called Archipielago" that "has 31,501 members, the majority of which are between 25 and 44 years old."
     I believe that the point to be made on Nov. 10th-2021 is that Americans need to include great journalists such as Marc Frank as their sources for what is about to happen in Cuba on Nov. 15th-2021, not just what Counter Revolutionary U. S. journalists tell them.
    Today -- on Nov. 10-2021 -- above are the Cuban statistics on COVID-1 showing 413 new cases and 4 new deaths in the past 24 hours. Just a few weeks ago a surge in the pandemic was creating many thousands of new cases each day and up to 100 deaths every 24 hours. The drastic reductions each day this week has reported between 1 to 5 deaths per day and less than 500 new cases per day for the entire island. Cubans are happy with the home-grown vaccines that are now greatly reducing the impact of the pandemic.
      In 1492 the island of Cuba was discovered by the Spanish explorer Columbus and he famously wrote in his diary that it was "the most beautiful land these eyes have ever seen." From 1492...thanks to that quotation and to its extremely strategic location on the worldwide globe as shown above, every imperial power -- especially Spain and the United States -- have fought tenaciously to dominate Cuba, which Spain dominated for a century prior to 1898 when the United States easily won the Spanish-America War to make the U. S the dominant force in the nearby largest island and most beautiful island in the Caribbean. Many believed that the U. S., beginning in 1898, would have made Cuba the most prosperous and most democratic nation in the Caribbean. But that didn't happen, and the biggest mistake the U. S. made in Cuba came in 1952 when the U. S. teamed with the Mafia to rob & brutalize Cuba...right up until January 1st of 1959 when the Cuban Revolution shocked the world by overthrowing the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. And since January 1st of 1959, Revolutionary Cuba has shocked the world by, against all odds, maintaining its domination of Cuba. Meanwhile............
     .............today -- on November 10-2021 -- the photo above showing dissident Yunior Garcia in Havana is flashing around the world to remind everyone that in five days -- on November 15th-2021 -- that "Protests" will begin that will finally overthrow the Revolutionary government in Cuba. What are the odds? Some smart people say it is a 90% certainty "this time." But...tuh...I think such predictions or...uh...a little too high.

Cuba Braces For Nov. 15th Coup

 Will Protests Next Week Recapture Cuba?

 The photo above today is by the powerful CANADIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION. It shows a group of everyday Cubans on the island gearing up with clubs to try to protect the Cuba Revolution during the Protests/Coup that will start next week -- on November 15th-2021. These Cubans are active on Social Media and they are being told by the U. S. media that...for the first time since January of 1959...the latest attempt to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba WILL FINALLY SUCCEED starting next week, November 15-2021.
     Cubans are being told that dissident Yunior Garcia Aguilera this time has enough support from the U. S. and from other dissidents on the island to finally topple the Cuban Revolution that back on January 1 of 1959 defeated the Batista dictatorship that was supported by the U. S., the Mafia, and by massive U. S. tourism and U. S. businesses.
    Actually, this week Cubans in Cuba...this last week before Nov. 15th-2021...are very happy that the results of a massive vaccination campaign with homemade vaccines is apparently curbing what was a massive COVID-19 surge. Just a month ago there were thousands of new cases and about a hundred deaths per day on the island but now those numbers are miniscule in comparison. In the past 24 hours, for example, there have been only 483 new cases and only one 1 death. {See above}Yes, Cubans believe their government's numbers and its own vaccines...and daily the Cuban media minutely updates those numbers with every name listed that is a new case or new death, so Cubans can see the names and make sure someone they know who should be on the list is included.
     With Cuba's success in curbing the pandemic, the island...not coincidentally...is opening its classes in its universities and public schools by Nov. 15th-2021 and also reopening its borders to international terrorism. Therefore, countries that don't knuckle down totally to the U. S. Blockade are now resuming air flights to Cuba...especially including tourist-minded flights from Canada, Spain, Russia, China, Vietnam, Mexico, etc.











 For example, new airlines like Mexico's MAGNI has scheduled flights to Cuba starting next week. MAGNI is beginning regular flights from Cancun to Holguin in eastern Cuba.
    The new Spanish airline Sunwing is flying tourists to Cuban beaches such as Veradero.
Between them, Melia and Iberostar the two giant Madrid-based Hotels & Resorts chains have dozens of 4-star and 5-star properties in Cuba...and both of those Spanish giants are lavishly promoting tourism to Cuba.

     A few miles southeast of Miami, Cuba's Varadero Beach has been listed as the #1 Best Beach in the World by international travel writers.
     This image of Varadero Beach is from a new international print & video ad by Spain's Iberostar Hotels & Resorts that has dozens of world-class properties in Cuba awaiting the island's winter 2021-22 tourism season.
    Right below Florida, the Cuban beaches such as Varadero and Cayo Santa Maria are rated high on any lists of the Best Beaches in the World, much higher than any beaches in nearby Florida. While Varadero is more famous, in 2021 Cayo Santa Maria has been listed as the #2 Best Beach in the World. Of course, the U. S. media and U. S. government lavishly promote tourism to Florida but lavishly try to block tourism to Cuba. Of course, back in the 1950s both the U. S. and the Mafia lavishly promoted tourism to Cuba!
     Today -- on November 9th-2021 -- the TOP CUBA HEADLINES -- included, as usual, the Miami Herald trying to attack Cuba for having the audacity to resume "flights to Havana, but now U. S. travel rules pose a challenge for Cubans." OF COURSE, such U. S. media sources are busy reminding Cubans on the island of what really awaits them next week starting on Nov. 15-2021, which is the end of their Cuban Revolution, which has endured such threats since Jan. 1-1959.
 Even the CBC -- the powerful Canadian Broadcasting Corporation -- seems to be predicting that the Protests/Coup in Cuba next week starting Nov. 15-2021 will be the end of Revolutionary Cuba "just in time for the tourism season." WOW!! In other words, if the Protests/Coup next week succeed, perhaps Cuban lures will be allowed to compete with those of nearby Florida during the 2021-22 winter "tourism season."
    But...tuh...will everyday Cubans on the island accept dissident Yunior Garcia as there new leader??????????????????????????????????
     A revolutionary flag has flown over Cuba since January 1, 1959...after a Revolution took power on the island from the Batistianos, the Mafia, and the United States. Prior to Jan. 1-1959 Spain had dominated and looted Cuba for a century...till the United States gained dominance of the island after the 1898 Spanish-American War. What followed after 1898 WAS NOT DEMOCRACY but such things as the theft of Guantanamo Bay in 1903 and the brutal Mafia-riddled Batista dictatorship starting in 1952, which only ended at 3:00 A. M. on January 1, 1959. Now next week, will the Cuban flag fly over Revolutionary Cuba for the last time??
STAY TUNED!!! After all, since 1492 Cuba has certainly been the World CHAMPION when it comes to surprises!!

An Old Embargo, A New Coup, & No Shame

 Americans are Programmed to Accept It!!

BUT some others Are Ashamed

     Because he lives in the capital of Canada {Ottawa}...Bill Ryan is permitted to feel ashamed about what he believes is the endless and genocidal Blockade against Cuba that, he feels, has especially and drastically deprived children on the island of their deserved happiness. Being a Canadian, Bill can legally try do something about it. In his obsession to help Cuban children, Bill does things such as...sending 200 excellent bicycles in one shipment to Cuba along with 500 spare parts as well as hundreds of spare tires. Of course, because there are a lot of other decent people in North America, Bill...my Facebook amigo...is supported by many people via Social Media and by the Canadian media. Meanwhile, in November of 2021 the U. S. media saturates its readers and viewers with whatever extreme vitriol Cuban dissidents in Florida and in Cuba are blabbing and planning, which includes, of course, another massive round of Protests in Cuba starting on Nov. 15-2021 designed to overthrow the island's Revolutionary government that back in 1959 overthrew the thieving & brutal Batista dictatorship, which the U. S. media still implies was a real nice and fair GOVERNMENT.
       In that milieu, the photos below show what the decent Canadian Bill Ryan is doing in November of 2021 to try to make children in Cuba happy.

    In the photos above, you can see how ashamed Bill Ryan...a Canadian...is about the U. S. Embargo/Blockade that he feels has so drastically impacted three generations of children on the island. At least Bill hopes that his bicycles will bring a smile to the faces of children in Cuba.
    The U. S. EMBARGO/BLOCKADE that Bill Ryan in Ottawa is so ashamed of is not SHAMEFUL to Americans who tolerate and fund it. The Embargo began in 1962 after the 1961 Bay of Pigs air-land-sea military attack was defeated by Revolutionary Cuba. The purpose of the EMBARGO was...to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans on the island to induce them to rise up and overthrow their Revolutionary government. In the past 6+ decades, the EMBARGO has not persuaded Cubans on the island to overthrow Revolutionary Cuba. But in the past 5 years both the Republican Trump and the Democratic Biden administrations have cruelly expanded the ageless cruel EMBARGO into what many decent and concerned people consider to be a genocidal assault on Cuban families on their island.
     In Canada, and thus not programmed by the obsessive money-crazed Counter Revolutionary U. S. media, a decent man named Bill Ryan is obsessed with defying the ageless U. S. EMBARGO that he believes has starved, deprived, and made miserable three generations of Cuban children on the island to appease rich and powerful Cubans in Miami and in the U. S. Congress. THANK YOU...BILL RYAN!!
