“The Inside Job”

"THE INSIDE JOB" © ABIP 2011
By Agustin Blazquez with the collaboration of Jaums Sutton
Now more than ever, Americans should read and learn about what life is really like inside a communist society.
This information is 100% relevant to today's USA.  Cubans thought it "could never happen here", but it absolutely did happen.  The "it's [...]

Tune in tonight at 9P.M. Eastern Time as Marta Cubanarama will be interviewing Cuban-American (Actor, Director, Producer) Orestes Matacena tonight. Here's the preview:
TWO DE FORCE is a story of the clash of two super powers: United States vs China. Everyone knows about the US debt to China, regardless of political affiliation [...]

The treacherous Florida Straits

It’s very hard to swim the Florida Straits from Havana to Florida, there are so many physical obstacles that could hamper and abruptly halt the attempt entirely. The Associated Press report on Diana Nyad’s 2nd attempt on this feat explains, in detail, how unpleasantly treacherous it is and was. Unfortunately Nyad failed again as she [...]

What if?

What if Richard Nixon had won the 1960 elections? The scenario would have been much different, probably the complete opposite. With the full cooperation of the US Air Force and the US Navy, we could have witnessed a certain victory. The Bay of Pigs so-called “Fiasco” would have been a triumph for Democracy and of [...]

Willy Chirino, the Beatles and Cuba

This is great news and I will be buying this CD. As everyone knows, the Beatles were banned in Cuba, Willy Chirino goes on to say in this article:
The music of the Beatles remains alive — and this week it will take on a new interpretation when Cuban salsa star Willy Chirino releases [...]

Call of Duty: Black Ops “Operation 40″

What will you do? Stupid question, of course. I ran into this very interesting article on "gaming" and Call of Duty: Black Ops and specifically "Operation 40."
In the first mission of Call of Duty: Black Ops you're apart of Operation 40, tasked with the objective of assassinating Fidel Castro during the Bay of Pigs invasion [...]

Most ignorant report ever published about “ALL” Cuban exiles

I just read the most ignorant report ever written, not only about Cuban-American exiles but about ALL Cuban exiles around the world, dead or alive, who left Cuba right after the take over by the Tyrannical Communist Castro regime and/or left during. It contains the most stupid and irresponsible statements, specifically about Cuban-American exiles. Not [...]

Updating the Libya situation and Marco’s take

It was finally until yesterday afternoon and when the fight for the liberation of Libya turned to the worse, that I began my mini-campaign against the irresponsible clumsiness of the so-called leaders and the inhumane U.N. Council. All the irresponsibility and the abandonment on the "Freedom Fighters" as I specifically been calling them and for [...]

Celia put the Cuban into Salsa

Here's a podcast I just finished posting on my Cubanology Media Blog and in which I enjoyed very much making. God Bless the "Queen of Salsa" Celia Cruz who helped put the CUBAN into salsa, ENJOY!

“The Graveyard Police”

Great title, great image and another great post from Generation Y in English version:
The village graveyards are picturesque and sad: whitewashed tombs with the sun beating down all day on their stones, and the dirt roads packed hard by the feet of the mourners. But there is a graveyard in the town of Banes that [...]

Fidel’s reflection of himself

Reflections from Fidel on Mubarak:
Mubarak’s fate is sealed, not even the support of the United States will be able to save his government. The people of Egypt are an intelligent people with a glorious history who left their mark on civilization. “From the top of these pyramids, 40 centuries of history are [...]

Trump for President! Why Not?

He took the words right out of my mouth and probably from every American who really cares about their country. He is sick n' tired of anti-American rhetoric and stupid business decisions. We are handing the country over to the world and before you know it, there will be absolutely NO jobs at all. Should [...]

What’s the difference?

The report reads as follow:

Jorge Videla, 85, ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1981 and was considered the architect of a ruthless "dirty war" to eliminate armed left-wing guerrillas and their supporters.

The regime is held responsible by human rights groups for making some 30,000 people "disappear," with many of them [...]

The “Nutritional Experts” in Cuba

While viewing this very interesting video by Dr. Heribert Watzke explaining the importance of what we eat and how food is broken up into energy, one could begin to understand malnutrition. It is very important to learn about the food you eat, how it can benefit your health and your mind. But when you are [...]

The Herbert Matthews “Fidelileaks”

As all the Wikileaks unfold before our eyes and throughout the internet, many questions are raised. Why would someone be so eager to reveal and expose important “top secret” and delicate conversations conducted by the government of the United States? Why only concentrate with American espionage? Why make it a global issue? Why is [...]

Silvio Canto’s “Let’s talk about Cuba” with Agustin BLazquez

In case anyone missed this great interview by Silvio Canto Jr. with Agustin Blazquez, I have placed it here. Since Agustin left Cuba in the late 60's, he was able to add some very important anecdotes and facts about TV/Entertainment and Healthcare before the Castro regime destroyed everything. Agustin has a new documentary out, "COVERING [...]
