Cuba and hope: the material expression of human resolve

Posted by: John Phoenix The solidarity of friendly nations is helping the blockaded island to keep the lights on, but Western workers need to play their part. Hope is not a vapour that lingers when everything else has failed, nor a substitute for strategy. It is the force that makes strategy possible – the impulse that compels the first step, sustains movement through adversity, and draws others into common purpose. Properly harnessed, hope is not passive; it is active, generative and enduring. It reveals the deeper currents of human resolve – and today, it is embodied in the people of Cuba. After a 67-year bipartisan history of callously toying with the lives of Cuba’s people, the US economic blockade of the socialist island was ratcheted up in January 2026 with a new an...

The Trump administration 2.0, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has swiftly moved to sharpen its focus on Latin America, explicitly singling out the governments of Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua as primary targets of its foreign policy. This renewed offensive follows months of escalating regional tension, punitive siege on the Caribbean since August 2025 using lethal force against individuals...

Naziyahu’s “False Flag” Is a “Copy and Paste”: The Pentagon’s Secret “Operation Northwoods”(1962) Directed Against Cuba.

“Casualty Lists Would Cause a Helpful Wave of Indignation” Posted by: John Phoenix The Northwoods 1962 document was titled “Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba”. ” By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, Author’s Introductory Note  Early Saturday October 7, 2023, Hamas launched “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.” On that same day, Netanyahu confirmed a so-called “State of Readiness For War.” A complete blockade on the Gaza Strip was initiated on October 9, 2023 consisting in blocking and obstructing the importation of food, water, fuel, and essential commodities to 2.3 million Palestinians. It’s an outright crime against humanity. It’s genocide.  Was “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm” a “surprise attack”? Was it ...

The United States has to take Cuba, once and for all, out of the list of states allegedly sponsoring terrorism

Posted by: John Phoenix Statement by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs According to U.S. official media reports, on 15 May 2024, the country’s State Secretary submitted to the Congress one more of the arbitrary reports that normally describe countries without any international mandate or recorgnition. This time, he listed four countries who allegedly “do not fully cooperate with the United States antiterrorist efforts for the 2023 calendar year.” As opposed to what has happened in recent years, the list does not slanderously include Cuba among such countries. Nonetheless, the State Department keeps Cuba as one of the States in a list of those allegedly “sponsoring” terrorism. It is nothing but a totally unilateral and unfounded list, whose sole purpose is to smear sov...

Cuba claims it thwarted US-financed terror plot

Posted by: John Phoenix Nearly three dozen people have been detained over ties to a supposed criminal group operating out of neighboring Florida © Getty Images / Westend61 Cuban authorities have foiled a suspected terror plot involving weapons smuggled from the US, Victor Alvarez Valle, lead criminal investigator with Cuba’s Interior Ministry, said on Monday. The plot first came to light in December last year, when authorities said they detained a man who had illegally arrived on the island from the neighboring US state of Florida carrying guns, ammunition, and military gear. He was suspected of intending to “execute violent actions” in the Caribbean nation. Alvarez identified the man as 40-year-old Ardenys Garcia, a Cuban residing in Florida, who ha...

How unjust and cruel US sanctions impact on Cuba’s health provision

By Aymee Díaz Negrín – Presentation to the annual Latin American Conference held in London on 27 January 2024 I think when we talk about the US blockade against Cuba, many times we think only about the illegal and unilateral sanctions against a country or a government with a political system completely different from the US, but the blockade is not only against the Cuban government. It has a devastating impact on the Cuban population, especially in the education and health sectors, despite the Cuban government’s huge efforts to provide high quality medical services. Just to give you an idea about the impact of the US policy: between March 2022 and February 2023 the blockade cost the Cuban health sector almost 240 million dollars. I am going to mention some examples to bet...

Cuban health workers vow to face down the genocidal US blockade

Solidarity aims must move on from the charitable aid mentality and work for the destruction of the imperialist system. Much is presented in Western corporate media regarding the parlous state of Cuba – its economy, food shortages, the flow of skilled, especially young workers overseas, shortages of every conceivable commodity – fuel, cement, medicines, educational materials etc. – that is essential to the building of a civilised life.  Little is said of the cause of this economic genocide. The cause is simply the illegal, criminal and ongoing US embargo, which for over 65 years has attempted to suffocate socialism, independence and national aspirations in Cuba.  The economics of genocide is exactly what the USA applies to Cuba. There may not be overt military interven...

Cuba 60: Hasta la victoria siempre!

Progressive humanity continues to cheer the incredible achievements of the tiny island nation, made in the teeth of the imperialists’ determined and unceasing aggression. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel Nearly one million people gather to hear Fidel in the Plaza Cívica (now José Martí's Revolution Square), Havana, 1959. Celebrations were held all across Cuba in the new year, marking 60 years of Cuban socialism.

The people had triumphed. From Spanish colony to US neo-colony Cuba spent so...
