While, understandably, a lot of news media attention in recent days has focused on the U.S.-led talks to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, the Obama administration appears to be laying the groundwork for another diplomatic breakthrough.

In little noticed speeches given last month, President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry cryptically acknowledged the need for a new approach to Cuba, a country the U.S. has — literally and figuratively — waged war with for over a half-century. . . . Read Complete Report

One of the first sights greeting passengers at the Key West International Airport is a statue of two families with children standing around a large, concrete buoy. “Ninety miles to Cuba,” reads the words etched on the centerpiece.

From that runway, tourists are closer to Havana than they are to Miami. And decades ago, residents of this southernmost outpost in Florida could fly to Cuba for lunch and be back in time for dinner.

It’s only a short flight across the Florida Straits, once crisscrossed regularly. But that hasn’t happened since 1960 and it’s uncertain whether it will happen any time soon. . . . Read Complete Report

From The Miami Herald – Cuba Posted on Saturday, 11.23.13 BY JUAN O. TAMAYO JTAMAYO@ELNUEVOHERALD.COM

It should not be surprising that former Cuban ruler Fidel Castro told a U.S. journalist three years ago that he believed ordered President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on orders from a cabal within Washington.

Or that Cuban the government’s news media have given prominent display to recent allegations that the notorious gunman on the “grassy knoll” in Dallas 50 years ago was an anti-Castro Cuban exile by the name of Herminio Diaz.

What is not surprising is that Cuba’s official media has made little or no mention of recent reports suggesting that links between JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and the Cuban government were wider than previously known. . . . Read Complete Report

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba

In the early 1960s, America’s top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.

Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.

The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba’s then new leader, communist Fidel Castro. . . Read Complete Report

From NBC World News By Reuters 11/3/13

Cuba closed dozens of home-based movie theaters on Saturday and reaffirmed its plans to end the private sale of imported goods as communist authorities pressed for “order, discipline and obedience” in the growing small business sector.

A government statement issued through official media said home-based theaters and video games will “stop immediately in any type of self employment,” a local euphemism for small business.

The statement said “the showing of movies, including in 3D salons, and likewise the organization of computer games, has never been authorized.”  . . . Read Complete Report

From NewsMax Tuesday, 08 Oct 2013 10:03 PM By Andrea Billups and Kathleen Walter

Former CIA operative Felix Rodriguez, who participated in the historic manhunt to capture Ernesto “Che” Guevara, says the Marxist revolutionary was little more than a criminal and devoted killer who deserves to be demystified.

“I believe that eventually people will see what he really was. He was an assassin,” said Rodriguez, who spoke to Newsmax about Guevara in advance of the 46th anniversary of his death on Oct. 9, 1967, at age 39. “He was an individual with very little regard for life. He enjoyed killing people.”

In the interview with Newsmax, Rodriguez gives a detailed first-hand account of the capture and execution of the man whose image is still being appropriated as a counterculture fashion statement. . . . Read Complete Report

HAVANA (Reuters) – For the 22nd consecutive year, Cuba will ask the United Nations to condemn the United States economic embargo against the island, a top Cuban official announced on Monday, accusing Washington of tightening sanctions in place for more than half a century.

U.S. President Barack Obama, who stated before taking office that he wanted to recast long-hostile U.S.-Cuba relations, has been a disappointment to the Cuban government, which expected him to do more to dismantle the embargo. . . . Read Complete Report

MIAMI — Cuban security agents detained more than 30 democracy activists and broke furniture and other items in a house where the dissidents were hosting a pig roast for their neighbors, dissidents said Monday.

“They broke everything, the bathroom, the television, the refrigerator,” said Mileidis Maceo, owner of the home in the eastern town of Palmarito de Cauto, Cuba, and member of the dissident Patriotic Union of Cuba, or UNPACU. “They broke things just to break things.” . . . Read Complete Report
