🇨🇺 #Cuba from the series of commemorative #FreeCuba I made some mock up #stamps in honor of these brave martyrs who had the guts to fight against the new regime/communist revolution: 1. Pedro Luis Boitel: #politicalprisoner for his ideals. Died under #hungerstrike in jail. 2. Margarito Lanza Flores aka Capitan Tondique: a humble country side agricultural black worker who rebelled against the Castro regime when his farm was intervened due to the so called Agrarian Reform. He was executed after being burnt so badly. Fidel couldn't stand a black poor man rebelling against him. 3. Antonio Tony Chao Flores: a young 20 year old man who rebelled against the Castro regime early on. Was captured and beaten by #Che ( the racist homophobic murderer people wear on tshirts). Then executed at La Cabaña. 4. Zoila Aguila Almeida, knows as the girl of Escambray. She took up arms against the regime and headed a small army. She was so successful at skirmishes, it took a traitor to take her down and her men. She died in the sixties after the savage tortures in Castro's jails and mental hospital known as Mazorra. #Alzados #TheLostWar #postagestamp #philately #filatelia #sellos #todosmarchamos

🇨🇺 #Cuba #Stamp El Presidio issued 1953 , 100 years after #JoseMarti birth | José Martí was a writer, poet, and independentist during times of the rebellion against Spain. His figure has been used by the Castro regime to favor their marxist agenda. Seen here, a young Martí, age 16, was a political prisoner when in 1963, his home was searched by Spanish military who found letter the boy wrote to discourage a friend from joining the Spanish army. If José Martí were alive today, he would have been a political prisoner again since he warned at such an early date of the dangers of #socialism and #marxism . Especially on a letter to his dear friend Fermín Valdés, New York, 1894 : " .. There are 2 dangerous things of the socialist idea (..) it provides foreign, confusing and incomplete arguments, hidden rage and arrogance of ambitious people, who in order to raise up in the world to have shoulders to lean on, they pretend to be avid defenders of the helpless." | José Martí en el Presidio Político cuando tenía solo 16 años por sus ideas independentistas. #sello Sin dudas el poeta hubiera estado preso en nuestros tiempos en #Cuba ya que José jamás se tragó el cuento del socialismo y el marxismo. En una carta a su amigo Fermín Valdés ( prohibida en Cuba) le escribe: " Dos peligros tiene la idea socialista, como tantas otras: el de las lecturas extranjerizas, confusas e incompletas: y el de la soberbia y rabia disimulada de los ambiciosos, que parar ir levantándose en el mundo empiezan por fingirse, para tener hombros en que alzarse, frenéticos defensores de los desamparados." New York 1894.

🇦🇴 #Angola #postagestamp issued 1957 | #stampcollection #stamp A few years later: Operación Carlota in 1975 in which the Castro regime decided to send around 350k #Cubans to help the MPLA of Agostinho Neto install Marxism in the country. The civil war lasted over 13 years and according to some estimates over 2000 Cubans died. The rest came back mutilated, traumatized and some sick. Today, these veterans are mostly abandoned. | Años después ocurriría la Operación Carlota, donde desplegaron 82 miembros del Minint vestidos de civil para Angola. Alrededor de 350k cubanos fueron parte de la guerra civil que duró 13 años. El punto era ayudar al comunista Agostinho Neto tomar el poder. Murieron alrededor de 2000 cubanos y muchos mutilados, traumatizados regresaron para ser olvidados y quedar recogiendo basura en las calles. #Cuba

🇨🇺🇻🇪 #Cuba #Venezuela correspondence 1957-58. Ten years later: On 10 May 1967 a dozen guerrillas landed in Venezuela at the beach of #Machurucuto. The Army of Venezuela and the National Guard engaged them on the night of 10 May and the battle lasted until 11 May. Two men (Cuban) were captured and the rest were killed in battle. The guerrillas had completed paramilitary training in Cuba to train Venezuelan guerrillas in the Venezuelan Andes. This Incident was a battle between Venezuelan Army and National Guard troops and Cuban trained guerrillas. Some Venezuelans remember this as the Invasion of Machurucuto. #Castro setting his eyes over the oil rich South American country since then. These goals were later accomplished with #Chavez. #stamps #stampcollection #philately #sellos #instagood #instamood #instalike
