A SUPER DIPLOMAT WILL SAVE CUBA!!

 

     Today -- on Jan. 13th-2022 -- newspapers in both Japan and China re-published this article that explains why and how Cuba plans to survive its two perils...the U. S. Blockade and COVID-19. It pertains to a brilliant Cuban diplomat named Miguel Ramirez who has been Cuba's Ambassador to China and now he is Cuba's Ambassador to Japan. He is an absolute expert on the Superpower economies of both China and Japan and Miguel Ramirez is on a mission in 2022 to remake Cuba's ECONOMY in the molds of China and Japan...with an  emphasis on Japan's.

    An argument can be made that Miguel Ramirez is the most important Diplomat in the Western Hemisphere. He massively believes that the richest nation in the world, the nearby United States, is using genocidal tactics by the Trump-Biden administrations in Washington to destroy Revolutionary Cuba to appease rich & powerful Cubans in Miami and Washington. Therefore, the astute Miguel Ramirez strongly believes that Cuba must greatly expand its relations with the next two riches nations in the World -- China and Japan!!

    This photo shows Miguel Ramirez when he was Cuba's Ambassador to China shaking hands with Wang Ji on a key deal that in January of 2022 still is vital to Cuba's survival.

    But in the past year Miguel Ramirez has negotiated vital deals as Cuba's new Ambassador to Japan, as shown above.

    First as Cuba's Ambassador to China and now as Cuba's Ambassador to Japan, Miguel Ramirez seems to hold the mantle to making sure that the expanded Trump-Biden Blockade doesn't starve Revolutionary Cuba into capitulating to the stifling dictates of the Miami-Washington Counter Revolutionary extremists. For example, today is January 13th-2022 and today Cubans observing Havana Harbor observed the arrival of the latest huge gifts from Japan!!!

  Today -- Jan. 13th-2022 -- Havana received 84 more badly needed buses courtesy of Japan. Moreover, Japan...according to Ambassador Miguel Ramirez...is also working on sending 100 more buses to Cuba this year and 800 more during the next five years. Back in 2019 China delivered 89 Yutong buses to Cuba. In other words, Miguel Ramirez believes that if the nearby economic  #1 Superpower, the USA, is determined to starve Cuba into submission, the #2 & #3 economic Superpowers -- China & Japan -- want to fill the void for Cuba and, Ramirez believes, the blockaded island would "be FOOLISH" not to take advantage of the largess from the two faraway Asian economic giants.

Cuba Remembers Its Super Heroine

   Today -- on Jan. 11th-2022 -- Cuban newscasts spent much time in commemorating the ultra-important life of the island's greatest revolutionary icon Celia Sanchez. In 2004 the Counter Revolutionary George W. Bush administration in Washington allowed me to visit Cuba for the only purpose of researching why Cubans on the island verily worshipped Celia Sanchez. I returned to the USA believing that the doctor's daughter from the town of Media Luna was and is the most important figure in the Cuban Revolution that shocked the world on Jan. 1-1959 by defeating the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship!!!! She was born on May 9-1920 and died at age 59 of cancer on January 11-1980. Both her birth and her death are massively remembered each year in Revolutionary Cuba. She is cherished in vivid memories!! 

      Not only was Celia Sanchez the most important guerrilla fighter, the most important recruiter of rebels & supplies, and the most important military strategist during the Revolution, she was also the most important figure in reshaping Cuba from Jan. 1-1959 until the day she died in January 11-1980. The historic photo above taken by Lee Lockwood is indicative of that fact, which Americans are not supposed to believe. This photo illustrates the salient fact that Fidel Castro, whether or not he agreed with her decisions, never failed to support them 100%!! And today -- Jan. 11-2022 -- the new video below of Celia Sanchez's remarkable and unique life is an accurate bio of how she made history. Watch it:

Cuba Tightens Ties With Regional Friends

 Such as...Nicaragua!!

    Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel shown above after arriving  in the Nicaraguan capital of Managua on Monday, January 10th, 2022.

     Today -- Jan. 10-2022 -- Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel flew from Havana to Managua to attend the latest inauguration for Daniel Ortega as Nicaragua's President.

    Both Diaz-Canel and Ortega are well aware that the United States and other nations believe that "Sham Elections in Nicaragua" maintain Ortega's grip on that nation of 6.6 million people. The U. S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued the above very blistering denunciation of the Nicaraguan election back on November 15, 2021.

 Guerilla Fighters and Lovers Danny Ortega & Rosario Murillo back in 1967 began a Fidel Castro/Celia Sanchez-style Revolution to overthrow the U.S.-backed Somoza dictatorship in Nicaragua.

   Since 1979 President Danny Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo {also his wife} have ruled Nicaragua as Cuba's dear friends, except from 1990 till 1996 when Ortega-Murillo actually lost an election to Violeta Barrios!! Many observers believe that Murillo, as a guerrilla fighter and politician, is even more of a Nicaraguan icon that Ortega, who was born in 1945 and named his guerrilla fighters the Sandinistas who fought Somoza's Contras and led to a historic U. S. scandal known as the Iran-Contra Affair that was related to a weapons transaction that was supposed to help the Contras defeat the Sandinistas.

    The Iran-Contra Affair was a famous part of the Ronald Reagan/Oliver North effort to beat Danny Ortega's Sandinistas but Ortega still defeated the U.S.-backed Somoza dictatorship in Nicaragua...making Ortega in the New Year of 2022 still an enemy and pariah as far as the United States is concerned. Yet, Danny Ortega's new term as President of Nicaragua in January of 2022 is a topical reminder that the prior U. S. support of vile dictators such as Batista in Cuba, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Somozo in Nicaragua, Pinochet in Chile, etc., involved pernicious decisions by U. S. government officials that, perhaps, should be chronicled in History as shameful.

       In other words, there is a two-sided equation as to why, on January 10th of 2022, the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel, flew again from Havana to Managua to celebrate another term for Danny Ortega as President of Nicaragua. But to the Superpower United States, these two men are pernicious dictators that deserve devastating U. S. sanctions...or worse!!!! And yet...on January 10th of 2022 they still had something to celebrate.

Cuba Tries Reviving Economy

Cuba Starts 2022 Seeking Trade Deals!!

 

   In the month of January-2022 Cuba is still facing New Sanctions from the Biden administration in Washington but the island has lessened the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic with the use of its own homegrown vaccines. In recent weeks major nations such as China, Bolivia, Vietnam, Chile, Russia, Argentina, and Mexico have all signed or indicated increase trade relations with Cuba. The island this month especially is hoping for more Latin American cooperation. The photo above shows the Foreign Ministers of Cuba and Argentina -- Bruno Rodriguez and Santiago Cafiero -- signing a new and important trade agreement between the two nations. It also includes a joint AGRI Food DEVELOPMENT plan at Argentina's suggestion.

   While trying hard to reaffirm friendly nations and hoping to gain more, Cuba is trying hardest to ease the U. S. Economic Blockade on the island. The YouTube video shown above stresses that point.

Cuba Calm As U.S. Tightens Blockade

 Biden Prioritizes Cuban Blockade!!!

     Today -- Jan. 7-2022 -- the streets in Havana, as usual, were calm and peaceful and, to enjoy a nice winter day these two Cubans enjoyed a quick rest-break before returning to work.

    Most countries -- such as Slovakia -- have no reason to harm the Cuban people. Slovakia asked Cuba if it could send its water polo team to Havana so it could train with the Cuban team, and Cuba, of course, said yes.

    Today -- on Jan. 7th-2022 -- Cuba again reported "no deaths" from COVID-19 in the past 24 hours to highlight its extensive pandemic statistics.

     Today -- on Jan.7th-2022 -- Cuba had no deaths/"fallecidos" related to the pandemic in the past 24 hours. Its vaccination of children also has been successful and schools are open. With tourism restricted but allowed, there have been sharp upticks in the number of positive COVID-19 cases with the three prime areas, as shown above, being Matanzas, Camaguey, and Pinar del Rio.

  Internationally respected health sources, including Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, have reported on the "success story" of Cuba's own homegrown COVID-19 vaccines. And so have the world's best news sources such as those based in London, Paris, Toronto, etc. Of course, the U. S. media searches diligently only for negative stories about the U.S.-blockaded island nation of Cuba.

    Today -- on Jan. 7th-2022 -- this is the major U. S. Cuban headline as flashed by NBC News and the Associated Press. The Biden admimistration, of course, has massive domestic and international problems but on a daily basis destroying Revolutionary Cuba apparently is always prioritized.

    And so...the U. S. Embargo/Blockade against Cuba that began in 1962 is still being tightened in 2022 by the Biden administration. The second paragraph above by NBC/AP says: "The travel bans are the latest actions against Cuba from the Biden administration, which has largely followed former President Donald Trump's highly critical policies toward the island." Yes, Biden's Cuban policies are "highly critical policies" because most of the decent people around the world believe they are genocidal acts aimed at Cuban families on the island to appease rich and politically powerful Cubans in Miami, Newark, and in the U. S. Congress. And YES, most people believe the U. S. genocide against Cuban families that Biden is continuing especially became critical when Trump activated Title 3 of the Helms-Burton Act!!! Of course, the U. S. media is not competent, honest, or brave enough to tell the U. S. people what Title 3/Helms Burton is all about, or that President George W. Bush, who was tightly aligned with the Cuban extremists in Miami/Little Havana, REFUSED to activate Title 3 because even Bush believed Title 3 was too genocidal to inflict on Cuban families on the island.

    After the April-1961 Bay of Pigs military attack by Miami Cubans and the United States against Cuba refused to recapture the island, the U. S. in 1962 imposed the Embargo that, according to de-classified U. S. documents, was intended to starve, deprive, and make miserable Cubans in Cuba to induce them rise up and overthrow the Fidel Castro-led revolutionary rule of the island. Castro died at age 90 in 2016 but the Embargo...made lucrative but genocidal by the 1996 Helms Burton Act...which began in 1962...remains intact in 2022 and continually is tightened to the glee of Miami and Congressional Cubans.

   If Title 3 of Helms-Burton is genocidal against Cuban families on the island, as even President Bush believed it was/is, then why has the U. S. media failed to inform the American people what it is all about?? Prior to Trump & Biden, other U. S. Presidents refused to activate Title 3 because it was deemed too genocidal for the Superpower U. S. to impose on the Cuban people in a much smaller, nearby country. But thanks to Trump & Biden it remains very much activated in 2022...and to most people it adds genocide to Helms-Burton's longtime dictates of punishing Cubans on the island while VASTLY adding to the ways for Cubans in the U. S. to sue and make easier money via its one-sided Cuban policies whose purposes, in the eyes of many, have two prime purposes -- enriching U. S. Cubans while cruelly punishing Cubans in Cuba.

    As you can see above, the French government and the French media immediately "condemned" the Helms-Burton/Title 3 genocide when President Trump activated and legalized it in 2019!!!

    Many decent people believed that the 2020 U. S. election in which President Trump was replaced by President Biden would ease the U. S. genocide against Cuban families on the island. Yet, the Biden administration has, shamefully, not only continued Trump's Title 3-type lucrative but genocidal policies regarding Cubans in Cuba. Of course, within the U. S. democracy it is up to the American people to actually study what things such as Title 3/Helms-Burton entail...but, of course, that is simply not going to happen when it involves Cuba.

The USA's long Pinocchio nose aimed at Cuba.

Precious BIRTHDAY in Cuba Today

 

    This is Gema Hernandez. Today -- Jan. 6-2022 -- is Gema's birthday. The moment she was born on Jan. 6-2015 she was and remains a historic person in the contentious relations between the United States and Cuba, comparable to Elian Gonzalez. Gema's parents, Gerardo and Ariana, also have two younger children in Havana. You may Google/research the saga about why Gema is such a historic and precious Little Girl today on her 7th BIRTHDAY in Havana. {It is riveting}.

    This is Adriana & Gerardo Hernandez in Havana will their three children. That is Gema, who turned 7-years-old today, in the middle. They are a beloved family in Cuba but one whose history perplexes Americans, especially in Little Havana/Miami.

   Nearby Cuba is no threat to the Superpower United States but faraway China is a massive threat to the United States both economically and militarily!! Did China today take advantage of the Biden administration's tightened embargo against Cuba? Today, as shown above, China & Cuba signed new accords as China "renewed support of Cuba as the United States continues to cruelly broaden its sanctions against Cuban families." Today both Cuban and Chinese television stations showed video & photos of Cuba's "Anniversary 63 of the Cuban Revolution" as new accords were signed.

   "And Beijing has sought to step in to help." {The Newsweek article above spoke cogently about China's stance regarding the U. S. embargo against Cuba}.

    Today -- Jan. 6th-2022 -- Cuba released some good news about its oil production in the El Fraile region east of the western town of Santa Cruz. The positive result is already improving the island's electricity capacity. Cuba extracts 99% of its oil in the 750-square-kilometer/60-mile radius between Havana and the Varadero Beach resort.

     Cubans on the island remain ecstatic about the efficacy of its homegrown COVID-19 vaccines but the recent influx of visitors "while keeping doors open for its economically vital tourism industry" has increased the number of positive cases. Thus "Cuba tightened border controls yesterday {Jan. 5-2022} as the Caribbean island nation moved to tamp down a growing wave of coronavirus infections."

     Meanwhile sports events and political meetings continue to involve Cuban teams flying abroad. The report above today pertains to: "Cuban delegation arrives in Buenos Aires for the Celac meeting." 

   On January 1st-2022 Cuba celebrated the 63rd anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution over the U.S./Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship. Also, Cubans on the island are aware that the U. S. Embargo of the island is into its 60th year, and millions of Cubans are reeling because both the Trump and Biden administrations in Washington have continued to tighten the Embargo. Yet, the Revolutionary Flag...after 63 years and counting...still flies over Cuba!!!
