🇨🇺 #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

🇺🇸 #USA #BillOfRights "This Bill of Rights Issue stamp commemorates the 175th anniversary of the ratification of the United States Bill of Rights, the collective name of the first ten amendments to the United State Constitution. They provide basic legal protection for individual rights. They were introduced to the First United States Congress by James Madison in 1789. The stamp features a design of two hands – “freedom” checking “tyranny” – by editorial cartoonist Herbert Block, also known as Herblock." Issue date: July 1st, 1966. | #sello en conmemoración a los #derechos #civiles en #EEUU.

🇨🇺 #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.
