More “El Manisero”

Here's another great "El Manisero" video by way of Stan Kenton. I added it to this post I made awhile ago on the Cubanology Blog and which still gets many daily visitors. What an impact this great song has made on the world:

I still can't get over the line, "SI TE QUIERES POR EL PICO [...]

The Castro Regime’s “Information Blockade” on its citizens.

So much emphasis has been placed on the so-called US embargo on Cuba that nothing has been mentioned concerning the Castro regime's information blockade on its citizens. Besides the full cooperation of the Main Stream Media (MSM) with the Castro regime concerning bias reporting from the island itself, there's another form of embargo which is [...]

“No Hay Nada”

Here's a slide-show I posted awhile ago on the Cubanology blog and I thought should surface every now and then. It was created by Roy Llera, here's his website. The name of this very well made slide-show is "A Glimpse of Cuba" and can be viewed here. Please pass it along to others so they [...]

Private?

News from Cuba by way of AP:

Cuba's communist leaders have drawn up plans to help 500,000 redundant state workers find jobs in the private sector – raising rabbits, painting buildings, making bricks, collecting garbage and piloting ferries across Havana's bay.
Many of the workers tossed from state jobs

into the marketplace could see their new enterprises [...]

You Can’t Judge a Book by its Cover

Watch out Fidel! It seems the fashion police is after you. Why, because you decided to wear this "out of style" military uniform. Here, the report released by Associated Press:
Fidel Castro dusted off his full military uniform

for the first time since stepping down as president four years ago, a symbolic act in a [...]

Here’s another Castro Plot: The JFK Assassination

After the well publicized Castrodamus article by MSM (Mainstream Media) and posted here by Drillanwr I am prompted to share with you a video that I saw. It was a couple of years, maybe more and I was searching through the internet for videos and I ran into one very interesting one. The name of [...]

Jersey Boardwalk game stirs up controversy?

A  boardwalk game in Seaside Heights, New Jersey has become controversial and why because the "Icon" Obama is involved. Why would a minuscule story like this be enlarged and covered, with video, on New York TV stations. Ask AP, who reported and of course, all the news agencies followed like lambs. This report shows you [...]

Muddy Water Video and the Obama Administration

Here's a Muddy Waters video which totally explains the current financial situation in America and the lack of acknowledgment (in-denial attitude) of the Obama administration. In its simplest form, it explains it all. "You can't spend what you ain't got, you can't lose some that you ain't never had." These words should reflect what exactly [...]

KGB Connections Documentary and the Cuban Connection

This is another example of how the Castro regime has been involved with the KGB,  since 1959. Fidel Castro's master plan is, has been and will always be, to annihilate America. I found a video and TV documentary which was released in 1982 and named KGB Connections: An Investigation Into Soviet Operations in North America. [...]

a quick note: Interesting New Twitter Page

I think this new and interesting twitter link would be very beneficial for all to join. I'm not much of a Twitterer but I feel that by posting on the US Interests Havana-Cuba Twitter Page you would be more instrumental in letting them know what is exactly on your mind. They are much more popular [...]

Fidel contradicting himself, again and again and….

Maybe his memory is very vague after 1994 and maybe it could be his fascist state of mind or maybe he feels he can get away with outright contradicting statements but Fidel Castro has just contradicted himself, again. Again, like he has done for more than 50 years already. Read this:
Cuban ex-president says Israeli [...]

Could not be any more accurate

This article by Robin of Berkeley posted on American Thinker could not be any more accurate and she's just touching the tip of the iceberg with her examples. There are many more in the great comments that follow there but she sure gets the point across as she compares the difference in mindset between a [...]

Was anyone aware of Juan Ignacio Hernández Nodar

Could it possibly that I was the only one who missed it or maybe there are others who did not know or hear about Mr. Nodar. He was arrested in Cuba in and served 13 years, two months and 27 days:
......."I was the forgotten man," said Mr. Hernández Nodar, now 51, as he drove [...]
