Cubans Happy on Dec. 14-2021

 

  The two interesting, and perhaps newsworthy, photos above were taken today in Havana by Ismael Francisco for the Associated Press. The top photo shows the two leaders of Venezuela and Cuba laughing happily and spontaneously. The bottom photo shows the current 11 leaders of the Bolivarian Alliance nations in Havana today at the ALBA Summit. The two leaders of Venezuela and Cuba are actually happy because the U. S. effort that was supposed to have dethroned them by now has failed...and because they, along with some of their friends, are celebrating the fact that it appears that neither the U. S. Blockade nor COVID-19 with overthrow Revolutionary Cuba in the, uh, foreseeable future.
       Of course, today -- on Dec. 14-2021 -- while leaders in Cuba seem happy as reported above by the AP, the usual extreme Counter Revolutionary extremist "journalists" in the mainstream media -- such as Nora Gamez Torres of the Little Havana/Miami Herald, as shown above -- only report on why it is vital for Cuba to be overthrown before Christmas-1921. So, if you want to read all about that Prediction, read the latest vitriol today, or any day, from Little Havana by Nora Gamez Torres.
     But today -- Dec. 14-2021 -- real journalists such as Jim Wyss of Bloomberg News writes a newsworthy article about Cuba...as shown above.
      And today -- Dec. 14-2021 -- the real and great journalist Marc Frank for the London-based Reuters News source also writes a newsworthy article about Cuba. Both Jim Wyss and Marc Frank will tell you about things that are negative about Cuba but, unlike the U. S. media, they also will let you know about positive revelations about Cuba. The two articles today by real journalists report on the fact that Cuba appears to be recovering from the twin devastations of the ever-tightening/6-decade-old U. S. Blockade and the now curtailed two-year-old COVID-19 pandemic that is no longer ravishing the Caribbean's largest island nation.
     Cubans on the island are happy that home-grown vaccines have drastically reduced the devastations of the COVID-19 pandemic.
      Just a few weeks ago Cuba was reporting to its people that there were many thousands of new positive COVID-19 cases and each day Cuba's TV programs listed the names of a 100-or-so people each day that had died from the pandemic. But now the drastic vaccine programs across the island have produced new statistics like those today -- December 14-2021. In the past 24 hours, as is the typical case now, there were 0 deaths/fallecidos and just 58 new positive cases. As the map above shows, 25 of the 58 new cases today were in the southeastern city of Holguin, and a special medical squad has gone there to help out.
     This photo today was taken by the great Yamil Lage for the superb Paris-based AFP News Agency. It shows Cuba's famed Varadero Beach and it was used to illustrate a newsworthy AFP article today that the island's vital tourist industry is beginning to revive for the first time since the Trump-Biden administrations strongly tightened the Blockade and since the island's efficacious vaccine program has gotten a handle on COVID-19. In other words, while "journalists" like Nora Gamez Torres today predicted the imminent demise of Cuba on behalf of Little Havana, real journalists such as Jim Wyss and Marc Frank actually today reports actual newsworthy happenings in Cuba.
     This photo was taken today -- Dec. 14-2021 -- and actually shows the Cuban flag still flying over Revolutionary Cuba. And regardless of what Nora Gamez Torres tells you each day, it might still be flying over the island on Christmas-2021, or even a few days longer!!!

U.S. Media's Cuban Propaganda

 

     Today is December 11-2021 and above are the Top Stories in the U. S. media pertaining to Cuba. The Wall Street Journal blames Cuba for all of Venezuela's problems; the Miami Herald tells us that all of the "big names in literature and the arts" -- such as Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, etc. -- are damning Cuba for jailing dissidents; the Voice of America in an article from Madrid tells its worldwide audience, including many vicious photos, that Cuba is to be blamed for the beating a female Cuban Journalist received from "masked men."; and the Associated Press headlines the news that a Cuban family is welcome in "distant Serbia" and implies that all Cubans on the island are obsessed with leaving the island forever. So today the four headlines above are typical of the news about Cuba that saturates the U. S. media on a daily basis. Of course, that would also be true if...on the same DAY...the rest of the world's media would be confirming that...say...Cuba's renowned medical scientists had just found the cure for cancer and the COVID-19. FOR EXAMPLE:
    On this second weekend in December-2021 above is the top international headline related to Cuba!! It is written by Michael Head, one of the world's greatest medical writers and experts. His article, as I will show, documents the amazing fact that Cuba's renowned medical scientists have developed two exceptionally effective COVID-19 vaccines. Of course, because it is a positive reflection on Cuba, the vast and lucrative anti-Cuban industry and media in the U. S. remains either unable or UNWILLING to report such positive revelations about Cuba.
     But of course, this weekend or any day of the week if you want to absorb the latest diatribe against Cuba by typical anti-Cuban U. S. "journalists" such as Nora Gamez Torres, then by all means do so. The Miami Herald says she studied journalism in Havana and London and is their top Cuba/Latin America Journalist. Wonderful!!
      But on the other hand, if you want to read or study a decent article about Cuba depend on a great writer and expert such as Dr. Michael Head, who is interviewed by great news organizations such as the London-based BBC. He is a Professor at the University of Southampton and is a worldwide expert for Global Health. The U. S. media won't mention his long and important article about Cuba today but multiple non-U.S. international media have latched onto it.
     There are 13 million Cubans on the island who are ecstatic that Cuba's renowned medical scientists have developed two vaccines -- Abdala and Soberana 2 -- that have drastically curtailed what had been a deadly assault from the COVID-19 pandemic. The U. S. media, of course, is concerned only with reporting about Cuban negatives and dissidents, but many great international journalists such as Dr. Michael Head are excited about how important the homegrown Cuban vaccines against COVID are for Cubans in Cuba and for people in other nations. Dr. Head explained that people in other nations are surprised that Cuba has such vaccines "But not Cubans in Cuba who expect such things."
     As shown above, a great journalist and a great medical expert in England, such as Dr. Michael Head, is permitted to write the truth about an amazing positive for Cuba regarding its own vaccines, such as: "Cuba's vaccine efforts have maintained a relatively low profile in the West to date. Politics may well be a reason. The US embargo against Cuba that began in the cold war is still in effect, and tensions between the countries remain high. But for those familiar with Cuba, its COVID-19 vaccine development should come as no surprise -- the country has a long history of manufacturing its own vaccines and medicines. Nor should it be surprising that two of its COVID-19 vaccines -- Abdala and Soberana 02 -- appear to have performed very well in trials." And those vaccines have indeed reduced COVID-19 deaths to ZERO IN RECENT DAYS FROM HUNDREDS A DAY PREVIOUSLY.
    Just as the world banking system eliminates Cuba to appease Miami/USA, other organizations such as the World Health Organization and many other nations are influenced by U. S. dollars to punish Cuba and Cubans on the island as Cubans in Miami and in Congress get richer and more powerful. Yet, as the great Dr. Michael Head reports above, Cuban vaccines could, if permitted, save more lives around the world...including the United States.
    Many Americans, including great doctors such as Dr. Candace Johnson, have been punished by the USA's Cuban policies since 1959 that have been designed to only benefit a handful of Cubans in Miami and in Washington. Cuba has developed beneficial vaccines and treatments for hepatitis, meningitis, typhoid, anti-amputation diabetic diseases, cancer, etc. Many Americans have faced severe penalties because, on their doctor's advice, they flew to Cuba to get vaccines or treatments that they and their doctors believed they needed. Dr. Candace Johnson, the renowned cancer expert and the President & CEO of the famed Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer in Buffalo-NY, has been to Cuba and gotten to know some of the island's top medical scientists. As the bio of Dr. Johnson above shows, she has gone to Cuba to study a particular Cuban vaccine for lung cancer that she believes will help her own patients.
    In Wisconsin Mick Phillips was dying from lung cancer when, with the advice of his well-known cancer doctors, he repeatedly flew to Cuba to get treatment from Cuba's CIMAvax vaccine and returned home each time with a supply of the pills. Each time his family and his famed doctor, Dr. Augustine Lage, knew he was breaking the USA's stringent Embargo Laws but they still encouraged him to go to Cuba for help.
     And today -- December 11th-2021 -- Dr. Michael Head, the famed University of Southampton and Global Health expert, published a widely distributed update on the latest miracle by Cuba's medical scientists who have developed two vaccines that appear to produce high efficacy against COVID-19. The London-based BCC and other respected international media not afraid of the USA's and Little Havana's Cuban laws, actually reported on Dr. Michael Head's important article.

Cuba Will Survive the Winter of 2021-22!!!

 

    Contrary to what Americans are told everyday, most Cubans on the island strongly support their President, Miguel Diaz-Canel. And they know him well because, before he became President in 2018, he was the island's very popular Education Minister. He is skilled at using state television news channels and his strolls out on the streets to communicate with the people. Above, that is President Diaz-Canel speaking on national TV today -- December 8th-2021. An optimistic person, he predicted again today that Cuba and the Revolution will survive the U. S. Blockade, the COVID Pandemic, and the "foreign-funded dissidents who thrive among us."
   Regarding the "bloqueo" today, Diaz-Canel said, "After the Bay of Pigs attack, assassinations, and deadly terror attacks from Miami and the U. S. had failed to dislodge our Revolution, I was a baby when the U. S. tried to starve us with its Embargo in 1962. In the last five years the Trump and Biden administrations have expanded the Embargo into a genocidal Blockade...along with highly funded coups led by selected dissidents. But because of great Cubans such as those watching me today, we have and we will survive everything and anything that Miami and Washington throws at us."
     Today, as usual, President Diaz-Canel spent a long time talking about "nino nuestro"/"our children" and the "vacuna"/"vaccines" that he said are "miraculously saving their lives, as the mothers who are listening to me now well know. We owe that to the doctors, nurses, and scientists who are diligently administering those vaccines and, as always, we owe thanks to Fidel for creating the scientific institutions that are still producing life-saving cancer, diabetic, COVID, and other medicines."
       Also today President Diaz-Canel told his large television audience in Cuba about the "extreme importance of Mariel to our economic survival. Despite being denial by the U. S., the Mariel Port 30 miles from Havana is by far the best deep-water port in the Caribbean and Western Hemisphere. The Economic Zone at Mariel continues to have thriving companies, especially by countries like Vietnam that is a major friend and trading partner of the U. S., especially since Vietnam won the Vietnam War against the U. S. and then became a great and unified sovereign nation."
     Today again President Diaz-Canel mentioned the fact that "as you have all seen and tolerated for the past five years...despite the blockade and then the pandemic...we have massively renovated important buildings and built some new ones. The huge cranes are a part of our landscape but these improvements are vital and will continue. The Vietnamese, Spanish, Canadian, Mexican and other companies that share in such improvements are friends of the Cuban people, and we must thank them."
    Also today, President Diaz-Canel had glowing updates regarding the vital 2021 Winter Tourism Season in Cuba. He said: "We have the best beaches in the world, surely in the Western Hemisphere. With our homegrown vaccines curbing the pandemic crisis, our cities, beaches, and hotels are welcoming tourists from nations in the region and elsewhere, from Canada to Russia to Spain to China to England, Argentina to Vietnam, and so forth." With Americans flocking to Florida's and Mexico's and non-Cuban Caribbean beaches this winter, Diaz-Canel is correct to say that Cuba has the best beaches in the world and "surely in the Western Hemisphere." International tourist experts have rated Cuba's Varadero the Best Beach in the World and in 2021 TripAdvisor rates Cuba's Cayo Santa Maria as the 2nd Best Beach in the World. Uh...no Florida beaches are amassing such accolades!!!
    The IBEROJET Airline has not only just scheduled regular flights to Cuba, as shown above it has just opened a new office in Havana. Two of the world's top Hotel & Resort chains -- Iberostar and Melia, both from Spain -- have dozens of 5-star Hotels & Resorts in Cuba. And both of those giants have conducted international ad campaigns prior to Cuba's 2021-22 Winter Tourist Season, as some of photos above reveal.
    The Mexican MAGNI Airline has scheduled regular flights to Cuba from Mexico City and Cancun. Of course, Cancun is Mexico's famed tourist magnet.
     Three airlines from Canada have booked flights to Cuba because of the long-standing love by Canadian tourists for Cuban beaches.
      December-2021 is the first month that Cuba has fully opened its airports to tourism in the past two years and already 33 different airlines in December are flying to Cuba. As you can see above, that includes flights from Tampa to Havana by Southwest Airline, flights by Jet Blue from Fort Lauderdale to Havana, flights by American Airline from Miami to Havana, etc., etc.
    England's very popular Ambassador Cruise Line has just announced its booking schedule that includes the Capital of Cuba -- Havana!! England is the USA's best friend and ally. Mexico is the huge nation on the USA's southern border. Canada is the huge nation on the USA's northern border. Being brave and INDEPENDENT nations...England, Mexico, and Canada don't bow before the USA's genocidal Blockade of Cuba.
    The #One Beach in the Western Hemisphere and the #Two Beach in the Whole World, according to TripAdvisor, is the beach shown above -- CAYO SANTA MARIA. It is located on the north-central coast of Cuba...just below Florida. Please understand...Florida does not have a beach remotely rated nearly as highly as Cuban beaches such as CAYO SANTA MARIA!!!
NOW A COMMENT:
    Except for the greedy U.S. blockade, the largest and most beautiful island-nation in the Caribbean -- Cuba -- would also be the most prosperous island-nation in the region. Back in 1952 both the U. S. and the Mafia understood that promise and exploited it ruthlessly from 1952 until the Cuban Revolution intervened on January 1, 1959. In the 1950s while supporting Batista's Cuba, the U. S. and the Mafia also supported other ruthless Caribbean dictatorships such as Trujillo's Dominican Republic. Since 1959 the U. S. and Cuban exiles have tried to starve, annihilate, and recapture Cuba...but failed. Meanwhile, to this day all other nations in the Caribbean except Cuba have enjoyed tourist and other financial support from the U. S...including, just to the southeast of Cuba, the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispaniola. For example, 365-days of every year everyone of the 30 Major League baseball teams in the U. S. operate rich and powerful year-around baseball parks, stadiums, and practice fields in the Dominican Republic to groom baseball players...resulting in billions of easy dollars every year for the DR government. In the last two weeks in November & December of 2021 in the Bahamas, just north of Cuba, there have been extremely lucrative U. S. PGA golf tournaments and extremely lucrative U. S. college basketball tournaments in the Bahamas. If Cuba, a sports and scenic mecca, was remotely treated the way the U. S. treats the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, and other nations in the Caribbean, beyond doubt Cuba would be the most prosperous nation in the Caribbean. Of course, while the quest to recapture Cuba continues unabated, Americans in December of 2021 are routinely and purposely propagandized not to believe such truths.
