🇨🇺🇻🇪 #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

🇨🇿 #CzechRepublic "Sokol v letu" (Flying Falcon) from the 1918 newspaper stamp of the first #Czechoslovak Republic. Both the #postage due #stamp (doplatit) and the special delivery stamp of the first years of Czechoslovakia were also designed by Alfons #Mucha #unperforated | #Sello de periódico diseñado por Alfonso Mucha en 1918 con el Falcón sin perforar. #filatelia #philately #newspaperstamps #stampcollection #instamood #instagood #instalike
🇨🇺 #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 #KingAlfonsoXIII 1898 turn of the century. #stamp #sello #monarquia #filatelia #philatelia The Alfonso collection from this time is notorious for the stamp forgeries. In 1898, the war for independence from Spain was still raging ( The Ten Year War). A year prior, Valeriano Weiler ( Butcher Weiler) left the island after his repressive failure known as the reconcentration, where a lot of Cuban families, including mine, where confined into towns. Years later, dictator Castro would repeat the same with the Captive towns ( Pueblos Cautivos) and the Umap( forced labor camps for dissidents, religious groups and the lgtbq) | Por algún motivo, esta collección de sellos de Alfonso tiene reproducciones falsas. En 1898, Cuba aun seguía bajo la guerra de los 10 Años, independentistas vs. la corona. Un año antes el general represor Valeriano Weiler dejaba el país tras el fracaso de la reconcentración, un desplazamiento masivo de familias, incluyendo la mía, confinadas a pueblos. Años mas tarde, este tipo de práctica represiva sería continuada por el dictador #Castro con los Pueblos Cautivos y los campos de trabajo forzados #Umap.
