Growing numbers of US citizens realize that the George W Bush administration has been nothing short of a disaster for them and for their families.

Trying to destroy the Cuban Revolution through the economic, financial, and commercial blockade and other coercive measures has been an obsession for US President George W. Bush.

Replying to three spurious initiatives for Cuba proposed by George Bush in Washington on October 24, Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Pérez Roque set out 12 points “covering what the U.S. president should propose as aid” to the island.

I make a halt in my daily struggle to bow my head in respect and gratitude to the exceptional combatant who fell on October 8th, forty years ago

The richest country in the world, the United States, behaves like a thief by robbing Cuban banks of money illegally frozen, which it is supposed to conserve and protect.

Today, racial issues and discrimination are not as clear cut in Cuba as in the US or Europe. There are leading figures in government and party who are black, but there are hardly any black TV presenters.

In a post at The Havana Note, former chief of staff for former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson (ret.), wrote an interesting item.

The bold decision taken by the Miami-Dade County Democratic Executive Committee in defense of the Cuban American family values, is without any doubt, the most courageous political decision taken in this city since 1959.

Personally I had never been to Cuba, and organizationally we have been talking for a while about figuring out a way for young people to be able to go. In the past we had the US-Cuba Youth Exchange, but because of licensing problems and tighter restrictions by the Bush Administration, we were unable to continue that program.

ON August 20, the 11th Circuit Appeals Court in Atlanta heard convincing allegations by the legal team defending the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters imprisoned in the United States.

A three-judge panel at the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta heard oral arguments Monday relating to the case of the Cuban Five.

The history of Cuba during the last 140 years is one of struggle to preserve national identity and independence, and the history of the evolution of the American empire, its constant craving to appropriate Cuba and of the horrendous methods that it uses today to hold on to world domination.

Próximamente, el 20 de agosto, está fijada una vista pública ante el panel de los tres jueces del Tribunal de Apelaciones de Atlanta, que actualmente tienen en sus manos las apelaciones de nuestros cinco Héroes.

¿Por qué el gobierno norteamericano y el FBI no actuó, según lo prometido, contra los terroristas sobre los cuales las autoridades cubanas entregaron evidencias y pruebas de todo tipo, con identificaciones de los individuos, direcciones, grabaciones, etc, etc., muchas de cuyas informaciones habían sido aportadas por los 5 Héroes y otras fuentes?

Two widely distributed newspapers, USA Today and the Montgomery Advertiser from Alabama report that farmers of that state are demanding more trade without restrictions with Cuba.

That failure of the US to comply would also signify further encouragement to illegal emigration, which historically has been encouraged by the existence of the Cuban Adjustment Act and the “wet-foot/dry-foot” policy, abominations that provide exclusive privileges solely to illegal immigrants from Cuba.

Cubans are debating a new set of proposals to update the country’s Family Code to include the legal recognition of same-sex relationships and transgender people. Supporters are hoping that the National Assembly will approve the reform package later this year.

The document, released by the European Union under the title "Conclusions on Cuba," contains a proposal for "a comprehensive and open political dialogue with the Cuban authorities on the basis of reciprocity and mutual interest."

Vilma is dead. Even though the news was expected, it was still an impact. Out of respect for her delicate health condition, I never raised her name in my reflections.
Vilma’s example today is more necessary than ever.

I hope that no one will say that I am gratuitously attacking Bush. Surely they will understand my reasons for strongly criticizing his policies.
