I am obliged to denounce the fact that the U.S. government has decided to exclude the Republic of Cuba from preparations for the Ninth Summit of the Americas set to take place in Los Angeles, June 8-10; and is currently exerting extreme pressure on numerous governments in the region that have privately and respectfully opposed this exclusion.
The U.S. government is misleading the public and governments of the hemisphere by saying that it has not yet made decisions regarding invitations.
I respectfully urge Secretary of State (Anthony) Blinken to say honestly whether or not Cuba will be invited to the Ninth Summit of the Americas.
A central axis, according to preparations for the event, will be health. And I must inform our people and international public opinion that there are currently negotiations underway, conducted in an unclear manner, with quite a few neoliberal elements, and many shortcomings, in relation to the real needs of the peoples regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the structural causes of precarious health systems that have led to tragic consequences and caused an extremely high number of deaths in our hemisphere, including the United States of America, and have avoided substantial cooperation and basic financing to address these consequences, and are now negotiating in an opaque manner a so-called Health and Resilience Action Plan for the Americas through the year 2030.
I must note that these negotiations are being held, in an obscure manner, with the exclusion of Cuba and other member states of the Pan American Health Organization, which are participating in these processes, in violation of their own mandates.

Cuban Heroine and Heroes

The nation’s Father, Carlos Manuel de Céspedes

The father who “brought us all to life”
Communist Party of Cuba First Secretary and President of the Republic Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez today honored the birth on this date 203 years ago, of the nation’s father, Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, and 115 years ago of the Chancellor of Dignity, Raúl Roa, tweeting, “Their human values, their patriotism and Cuban identity, make latter the heir of the first, and all of us their heirs

It was the night of Sunday, April 18, 1819, when in an aristocratic mansion in the colonial city of Bayamo, a man was born to be a landholder by family inheritance, who instead, against all odds, would become “the first among Cubans able to give his country and his compatriots both a homeland and honor.”
With his own resources, he challenged a colonial power far superior in military forces and weapons, able to unite the rich and the poor to wage war in the scrub, calling slaves “brothers” for the first time, turning his family sugar mill into a altar of freedom. Thus, with the responsibility of an entire people on his shoulders, he became the eternal Father of the Nation.
In that human volcano that, as Martí said, “… brought us all to life,” Cuba has an example of dignity and decorum that we cannot ignore in any of our daily battles.
To this day, at a time when imperialism continues to interfere with an economic war and hateful campaigns, Céspedes’ response – more than a century and a half ago – serves us well: “Our motto is and will always be: Independence or death. Cuba must not only be free, but never again enslaved.”

FAKE, terrorist attack

Bucha the fabricated lie


Bucha or the fabricated lie
Daily examples of fake news, more than anything else, take credit away from the media that publishes it, and the journalists who write it.

Some news agencies and other major Western media feed on the information that is produced, even if it is stained with blood – or that is never produced, but rather is invented – about the warlike confrontation in Ukraine.

The daily examples of fake news, more than anything, take credit away from the media that publish it, and the journalists who write it.

But they also feed the Western leaders who are waiting for them, in their eagerness to discredit Russia and justify the lengthening of a conflict that should already have ended, in peace and with mutual guarantees, without interference or political games to surround Moscow.

The international community must “really” oppose the greed of the United States military complex that sells weapons, no matter what use is made of them, both for its citizens to kill each other and to fuel wars across the seas, as is the case today in Ukraine or in other Middle Eastern nations.

There are too many actions by the US governments, since the very emergence of that country and during its establishment as an empire, causing millions of deaths, mutilations and injuries, destruction of States, torture, economic sanctions as an ultimatum to suffocate entire populations, among other actions.

For this reason, it is reprehensible that the tenant of the White House, Joe Biden, appears on television calling the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, a criminal, because he has proposed to counteract the plans to surround his nation, using as a spearhead the NATO and as a battlefield and confrontation with Ukraine.

Alongside the Venezuelan people, Cuba celebrates the heroic popular uprising that returned Comandante Chávez to the Presidency 20 years ago, tweeted Communist Party First Secretary and President of the Republic Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, adding that the attempted 2002 coup was intended to resurrect the country’s dismal past.
The coup against Chávez was launched the night of April 8, at a reception for military attachés at the Meliá Caracas hotel, when Venezuelan General Roberto González Cárdenas silently accepted the business card of U.S. Navy officer David H. Cazares.
“When the United States recognized in Hugo Chávez an indomitable political leader who was promoting fundamental change on the continent, it was decided that the Bolivarian Revolution must be aborted,” noted former diplomat and writer Germán Sánchez Otero, Cuban ambassador to the country at the time of the events, adding, “It was a coup designed by U.S. experts.”
In his book April uncensored, Sánchez explains the motives behind the coup, recalling that, on April 6, 2002, a top secret CIA report noted that dissident military factions, including disgruntled officers and lower-ranking radicals, were intensifying efforts to overthrow President Chávez, “as soon as this month.”
The U.S. continues to hatch plots like that of April 11, 2002, and repeats the blundering of Cazares, who mistook a general loyal to Chávez as a coup leader, and was obliged confess his error.
The message that Chávez entrusted to then-ambassador Sánchez also remains: “Tell Fidel not to worry; if there is a coup, the people and the Armed Forces will defeat it.”
