We need to be honest about this global pandemic which has a not-so hidden agenda to lead civilization back into the dark ages. It is easy to see what is happening around us with the constant lies about the lockdowns, facemask rules and the forced vaccination mandates and passports that is promoted and in some cases, enforced by the Biden Regime, the mainstream media, Big Pharma, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institute of Health (NIH), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and others.
More than 4.5 million people worldwide have tragically died from Covid-19 at least in theory [according to the PCR-RT test which is invalid] , but I will say this, the majority had underlying health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, many suffered from obesity, many were the elderly in their last stages of life who were the most vulnerable.
There is more than enough evidence that can attest to what I’m saying. However, there are many diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVDs) (which is a leading cause of death globally) plus other types of diseases such as cancer that kills millions of people each year. In 2018 alone, it was estimated that 9.5 million people had died of lung cancer worldwide, yet no lockdowns, facemasks or rushed experimental injections.
The point is, it’s all an over-exaggerated lie. Covid-19 is about control of the population by any means necessary. Many governments and people fell for this narrative.
Corrupted governments have also used the pandemic to expand their control of its people like what you see is happening in Australia and New Zealand which is an Orwellian nightmare come true.
In a positive note, there were several countries such as Tanzania and Burundi including millions of people worldwide who do not believe nor follow the dictates of the global order to enforce lockdowns, experimental injections, facemask mandates or passport mandates.
Certain governments have been slowly waking up to the fact that the Covid-19 pandemic is over-exaggerated thus becoming more clear that it is all nonsense according to the President of Croatia, Zoran Milanović who was recently speaking at a press conference when a reporter said the following “Croatia is not sufficiently vaccinated, unlike the EU average. We are only at 50%.” Milanovic’s response was classic (see video here):
I don’t care. We’re vaccinated enough, and everyone knows it. We will not go more than 50%. Let them fence us in with wire. They won’t do that. We are vaccinated enough, because they are vaccinated enough. So from their perspective, we are vaccinated enough. There is simply no chance of endangering those people. And I’ll finish. if the goal is…we need to know what the goal of this frenzy is? If the goal is to completely eradicate the virus, then we have the goal. I have not heard that this is the goal. If someone tells me it’s a goal, I’ll tell him it’s out of his mind. That is impossible. Get vaccinated, then get vaccinated one more time.
We want to eradicate Covid-19! That is impossible. It is obviously impossible. I start everyday with CNN and those few channels. And I wonder if I’m normal or are they crazy? They spread panic. They do it from the beginning. They are not the only ones.But there is simply no absolute certainty. There is no life without risk, without the possibility of getting sick. People get sick from a thousand other more serious things. And while that’s happening we’ve been talking about Covid-19 for a year and a half. OK, 1 year. I understand. I justify. I was for it. Since the new year, I only listen to nonsense
Milanovic’s response to the press shows that he and his government obviously has had enough of the Covid-19 propaganda. This shows that some nations are finally waking up to the fact that Covid-19 was a scam from the start.
But sadly, many governments have fallen for the Covid-19 narrative including Cuba, which is disappointing to me. To be honest, the reason why I am singling out Cuba over other countries is because I thought they would have woken up to the fact that the Covid-19 pandemic is an over-exaggerated lie.
It is known that Fidel Castro was an avid reader of alternative media sites as well as a supporter of Global Research, but what is more interesting about Cuba today is that they have also imposed lockdowns and restrictions under its current President, Miguel Diaz Canel following the guidelines of the global medical establishment like many other countries around the world.
First I want to say is that Cuba has valiantly stood up against US Imperialism for decades, in fact, Cuba has faced a short-lived conflict known as the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, a decades-old US embargo, and assassination attempts against Fidel Castro.
In 1962, there was also the idea of committing false-flag terrorist acts in New York City and elsewhere to blame it on Cuba in order to start another war called Operation Northwoods.
There was also US-sponsored terrorist attacks from Miami’s right-wing terrorists to Washington’s biological warfare that had unleashed ‘Dengue Fever’ also known as ‘Hemorrhagic fever’ on Cuba effecting more than 273,000 Cubans killing more than 158 back in 1981. Despite the hardships, Cuba has stood up to Washington.
Cuba has surely inspired revolutions across Latin America against Washington’s colonial and neoliberal policies.
I admire Cuba’s revolution, I really do, but there is one thing I need to point out and that is the fact that the Cuban leadership and its people has been deceived into believing the Covid-19 narrative sponsored by the global medical establishment.
I am not discrediting Cuban doctors and scientists in any way, the work they have done to help humanity around the world deserves recognition. A 2015 article from the Morning Star ‘A Year of Achievement for Cuban Healthcare’ said that Cuba has world-leading achievements which in many respects is undeniable:
In June, Cuba became the first country in the world to receive validation from the World Health Organisation (WHO) to successfully achieve the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis. Given the global scale of the HIV/Aids epidemic, where an estimated 1.4 million women living with HIV become pregnant each year, the potential global health impact is phenomenal if the world can learn from Cuba.
The WHO said: “Eliminating transmission of a virus is one of the greatest public health achievements possible. Cuba’s success demonstrates that universal access and universal health coverage are feasible and indeed are the key to success, even against challenges as daunting as HIV.” This year also saw the largest contingent of health workers who were fighting the Ebola outbreak in west Africa return home after completing their successful missions. These world-leading achievements are from a very long list of Cuban healthcare accolades — and are a testament to the Cuban revolution and its people
But I must point out that Covid-19 has turned Cuba’s intellectual capabilities completely upside-down. I thought by this time, Cuba would be two steps ahead of the lies that come from the same Western-based medical institutions and individuals who are aligned with the political establishment and the Military-Industrial Complex that would love nothing more to have Cuba under its control.
Cuba should have led Latin America in exposing Covid-19 for what it is, an over-exaggerated disease brought to you by the global establishment to impose medical tyranny around the world.
Cuba seems to be following in their footsteps in their fight against Covid-19, for example, they have imposed harsh penalties for those who violate facemask rules including the threat of doing some prison time if you don’t follow the rules. Reuters published an article on Cuba’s actions it took to enforce its facemask mandates, ‘Cuba tightens COVID-19 measures as visitors fuel record contagion’ said that
“Since the start of the pandemic, Cuban authorities have fined citizens for wearing their face masks incorrectly in public or contravening other rules, even sentencing some to jail time.”
So why is Cuba still enforcing the use of facemasks with all of the studies that prove they are dangerous to your health? On May 2020, Dr. Russell Blaylock, a board-certified neurosurgeon, health practitioner and author wrote an article on the subject of wearing facemasks or what I like to call face diapers titled ‘Face Masks Pose Serious Risks to the Healthy’ based on recent studies said that “researchers found that about a third of the workers developed headaches with use of the mask, most had preexisting headaches that were worsened by the mask wearing, and 60% required pain medications for relief” but the most likely cause of headaches in this situation is either hypoxia which is described as a reduction in blood oxygenation and/or hypercapnia, an elevation in blood C02.
\“A more recent study involving 159 healthcare workers aged 21 to 35 years of age found that 81% developed headaches from wearing a face mask. Some had pre-existing headaches that were precipitated by the masks. All felt like the headaches affected their work performance.”
Dr. Blaylock also mentioned a study on how the virus can enter the brain:
It gets even more frightening. Newer evidence suggests that in some cases the virus can enter the brain. In most instances it enters the brain by way of the olfactory nerves (smell nerves), which connect directly with the area of the brain dealing with recent memory and memory consolidation. By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain
Global Research published ‘Twenty Reasons Mandatory Face Masks are Unsafe, Ineffective and Immoral’ by John C. Manley quoted John F. Kennedy Jr. on the issue of totalitarianism associated with facemasks. JFK Jr said that
“If you look at the history of totalitarian regimes… they all do the same thing, which is they try to crush culture, and crush any evidence of self-expression…” continued “And what is the ultimate vector for self-expression? It’s your facial expressions…. [Yet] we’ve all been told to put on the burqa and be obedient.”
Does Cuba really want to take part of a medical tyrannical agenda pushed on the planet by the same political elite that has been trying to destroy Cuba since the 1959 revolution?
Cuba and its people have political issues they need to work out among themselves, but to enforce facemasks despite the evidence that they don’t work and are considered a danger to human health in order to protect the public only makes its political situation more complicated.
Are Vaccines the Only Answer? What about Ivermectin or Vitamin D?
Cuba believes that their vaccines can cure or prevent Covid-19, but did they research other alternative medicines such as Ivermectin or even vitamin-D? The Desert Review, an independent online news source published an article by Dr. Justus R. Hope ‘India’s Ivermectin Blackout. Censorship of Peer-reviewed Analysis‘ on the media’s blackout on the success of how Ivermectin defeated Covid-19 in India:
There is a blackout on any conversation about how Ivermectin beat COVID-19 in India. When I discussed the dire straits that India found itself in early this year with 414,000 cases per day, and over 4,000 deaths per day, and how that evaporated within five weeks of the addition of Ivermectin, I am often asked, “But why is there no mention of that in the news?”
Dr. Hope continues,
“Yes, exactly. Ask yourself why India’s success against the Delta variant with Ivermectin is such a closely guarded secret by the NIH and CDC.”
Then he asks the question on why the mainstream media has not reported on the positive outcomes of Ivermectin, “ask yourself why no major media outlets reported this fact, but instead, tried to confuse you with false information by saying the deaths in India are 10 times greater than official reports.”
Dr. Joseph Mercola, one of the most outspoken doctors on the Covid-19 deception has written about the effectiveness of Ivermectin and the clinical evidence associated with it in ‘COVID, Ivermectin and the Crime of the Century’ said the following :
Data clearly show ivermectin can prevent COVID-19 and when used early can keep patients from progressing to the hyper-inflammatory phase of the disease. It can even help critically ill patients recover.
Ivermectin has a long history of use as an antiparasitic, but its antiviral properties have been under investigation since 2012. Studies have shown ivermectin inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal influenza viruses, inhibits inflammation through several pathways, lowers viral load, protects against organ damage, prevents transmission of SARS-CoV-2 when taken before or after exposure, speeds recovery and lowers risk of hospitalization and death in COVID-19 patients.
Doctors have been told not to use ivermectin as large controlled trials are still lacking. However, once you can see from clinical evidence that something is working, then conducting controlled trials becomes unethical, as you know you’re condemning the control group to poor outcomes or death. In fact, this is the exact argument vaccine makers now use to justify the elimination of control groups and giving everyone the vaccine
Author Jonathon Cook explains how effective is vitamin D against Covid-19 from a Spanish study in his article ‘Why Politicians and Doctors Keep Ignoring the Medical Research on Vitamin D and Covid’:
It is time to speak out forcefully now that a new, large-scale Spanish study demonstrates not a just a correlation but a causal relationship between high-dose Vitamin D treatment of hospitalised Covid patients and significantly improved outcomes for their health.
The pre-print paper in the Lancet shows there was an 80 per cent reduction in admission to intensive care units among hospitalised patients who were treated with large doses of Vitamin D, and a 64 per cent reduction in death. The possibility of these being chance findings are infinitesimally small, note the researchers. And to boot, the study found no side-effects even when these mega-doses were given short term to the hospitalised patients
One other fact about Cuba is that it is an island-nation that has sunshine all year-round that gives you natural vitamin-D. So why did Cuban authorities close the beaches? In fact, many countries around the world who have beaches did the same thing and that just makes no logical sense at all.
Cuba is also pushing forward with a plan to vaccinate its children from the early age of 2 through 18 with 2 doses of Soberana-2 vaccine that was developed by Cuban scientists. According to Reuters
“Cuba will begin vaccinating adolescents against COVID-19 this week and younger children from mid-September as part of a drive to immunize more than 90% of the population by December, state-run media said on Wednesday” continued “all children ages 2 through 18 will receive at least two doses of the Cuban-developed Soberana-2 vaccine beginning Sept. 3, the official Cubadebate digital news outlet reported.”
Maybe the vaccine is safe according to their data and its most likely a traditional vaccine that has nothing to do with the new MRNA technology found in Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines, but for everything that can make you sick should not require a vaccine.
“Both Cuban vaccines, with a reported efficacy of more than 90%, have been approved by local regulators for emergency use, although the data has not yet been published in peer-reviewed journals.”
There are alternative drugs that can either cure you from Covid-19 or reduce the chances of you getting sick such as Ivermectin and vitamin D to name a few. Now Cuban officials say “the campaign would resemble annual vaccinations against various childhood diseases, taking place at thousands of community-based family medical practices and clinics” meaning forever Covid-19 vaccinations will be the new normal.
On August 3rd, 2021, an article by Dr. Pascal Sacre titled ‘The Specter of Vaccine Fundamentalism: Bowing Down and Serving the “God of Vaccines” has one part I would like to share with you when it comes to Cuba’s unrelenting belief in the use of vaccines:
For a drug as essential as ivermectin, with today’s accumulating evidence of its benefit in treating COVID-19, at all its stages, the number of randomized double-blind peer-reviewed studies will never be high enough for the Vaccine believer.
No paper, no scientist, even one with five Nobel Prizes, will ever convince the Vaccine believer. On the other hand, for the God of Vaccines, any contradictory information will be fake news, disinformation, automatically demolished by the fact checkers, even before being analyzed, which it will never be anyways by the believers of the Vaccine.
The Vaccination religion feeds on the scientific aura, drapes itself in objectivity, rationality but in the case of Vaccination, it is only that, rags, appearance, fog. In reality, the belief in vaccination is nothing but subjectivity, emotionality and faith. The “science” of Vaccination, as it is spread among today’s fundamentalists, is a parasite of true Science, a tumor invading true medicine
One thing I will say about the Cuban medical system is at least they are not driven by western-based pharmaceutical cartels and the profits associated with it or have a plan to depopulate the island-nation, they are not part of that globalist agenda.
The main problem is that they believe the only way that they can combat Covid-19 effectively is through the use of vaccines. Granted they had some success at fighting other diseases such as lung cancer with their own vaccine developed by the Center for Molecular Immunology called Cimavax which has shown to help patients with terminal lung cancer live at least 3-months longer. But for the purpose of defeating covid-19, vaccines should not be the only way to fight a disease.
Can the RT-PCR Test Realistically Confirm Covid-19 Cases?
Cuba uses the RT-PCR test which has been controversial to say the least. However, according to the Pan-American Journal of Public Health who released a special report by the Cuban National Health Systemtitled ‘Equity and the Cuban National Health System’s response to COVID-19’ shows the confidence level of the Cuban government by using the Covid-19 RT-PCR test:
Use of the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test was essential for confirming cases. Administration of these tests increased as the epidemic gained momentum, with a relatively uniform distribution across most of the regions. The main exception was the capital, which was the epicenter of the epidemic from the outset
Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, the editor of Global Research wrote an article that should be considered a wake-up call on why the RT-PCR tests produce inaccurate and basically useless results, ‘The WHO Confirms that the Covid-19 PCR Test is Flawed: Estimates of “Positive Cases” are Meaningless. The Lockdown Has No Scientific Basis’ on why the Covid-19 PCR tests are problematic.
Acknowledged both by scientific opinion and the WHO, the RT-PCR test used to “detect” the spread of the virus (as well as the variants) is not only flawed but TOTALLY INVALID”
Chossudovsky points out what was admitted by the WHO in terms of the accuracy of the RT-PCR test in what he described as a carefully formulated retraction:
WHO guidance Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed (1). The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology. (emphasis added)
WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity
What is more evident of the RT-PCR test on what it really does was discussed by its inventor, Kary Mullis, a chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry back in 1993 for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Here is what he said about the results of the PCR test and what implications it has:

Cuba’s Own Digital Vaccination Passport
An article published on May 28, 2021 by oncubanews.com ‘Cuba develops its own digital COVID vaccination passport’ reported that Cuba is falling indirectly in-line with the global medical establishment who are relentless in promoting vaccine passports, “Cuba is developing its own digital Covid vaccination passport, similar to the one promoted by other countries and regions of the world, the official media reported” which is not a good sign:
The Cuban passport is a project of the University of Computer Sciences (UCI) and is currently in the testing phase. “The different versions of the digital vaccination passports existing in the world were analyzed” for its creation, Allan Pierra Fuentes, director of the Technological Support Center of that house of advanced studies, commented to Granma daily.
The digital document developed by the UCI uses a QR code, “which will include the encrypted data of each person with an authorized signature, recognized by the WHO, which would only be provided by the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) and which can be read anywhere in the world, as it follows international standards,” said the publication
This is unbelievable to say the least. Pierra Fuentes, director of the Technological Support Center of that house of higher studies said that
“the idea is that any Cuban can have that digital passport printed, in the application on a mobile phone, send it by mail to the interested party or that it can be seen as an image on the cell phone,” he continued, “with that objective they have developed “three fundamental computing solutions.”
Pierra Fuentes explains the three computing solutions that will supposedly make life easy for the Cuban people:
The first of these solutions is a web page in which “users enter their vaccination data and the digital passport is generated,” while the second is “the verifier, capable of saying what information is stored by that QR code and if it was generated with a valid signature,” the source said.
Finally, the third application is the so-called “Passport Wallet,” which, according to the specialist, “will allow not only the user to have information, but also of other people in the family, and it can be displayed once it is requested”
According to Granma, Cuba’s official newspaper said that the digital passport is to impose a
“health certification at the border” that will “provide Cubans and foreigners vaccinated in Cuba with the possibility of traveling with a valid vaccination document.”
The digital passport will also “regulate access to public places of concentration with health interest.”
This is a disappointing. It falls into the hands of the global establishment who want to impose a global medical dictatorship and Cuba is just blindly going along with this insanity.
Why Cuba Should Change Its Course of Action Regarding its Covid-19 Response
So why is Cuba following the Covid-19 narrative that has paralyzed the world? Cuba has brilliant doctors and researchers that are capable of doing the necessary research to determine Covid-19 is an over-exaggerated lie, yes it does exist, but it is no more dangerous than the seasonal flu.
I understand that Cuba wants to uphold its reputation around the world as a responsible nation with an advanced medical system that has helped numerous people in-need around the world for decades, but their ideas about Covid-19 is clearly wrong on every level in terms of the lockdown and its mandates it had imposed right from the start. From mandating the use of facemasks or their vaccines as a cure-for-all to developing its digital vaccination passports, they are in fact heading in the wrong direction.
If the Cuban government researched what is behind the Covid-19 agenda to control and enslave humanity, they would expose the truth to the world. Their legacy stands as one of the main Latin American nations who resisted the US empire which did become an inspiration to many of us around the world. By exposing the Covid-19 scam, Cuba could essentially create a second revolution against a medical tyranny that has crippled many nations both rich and poor.
This is not going to end anytime soon, so it’s time for them to re-evaluate what is actually going on around us and join a new worldwide revolution against the New World Order’s medical agenda that wants to have every nation on earth including Cuba, under their control.
