Överallt finns stora målningar av revolutionens hjältar: Che Guevara och Fidel Castro. Men under ytan bubblar missnöjet. Ekonomin är i kris och när 75 oppositionella kubaner grips börjar det som kommer att bli känt som ”Den svarta våren” på Kuba. En kväll ska Stina och Linn ta den lilla lokalfärjan över Havannabukten. Det kommer att bli starten på ett flera dagar långt gisslandrama. Gisslan på Kuba är en dokumentär från 2024 av Frida Olsson. Producent: Martin JönssonSlutmix: Jacob Gustavsson

Jim Hunt : Warrior: Frank Sturgis---The CIA's #1 Assassin-Spy, Who Nearly Killed Castro But Was Ambushed by WatergateThe incredible true story of the WWII hero turned CIA assassin and Watergate burglar “reads like a top shelf action-adventure novel” (New York Times–bestselling author David Hagberg). The press called him a “real-life James Bond.” Fidel Castro called him “the most dangerous CIA agent.” History remembers him as a Watergate burglar, yet the Watergate break-in was his least perilous mission.Frank Sturgis—using more than thirty aliases and code names—trained guerrilla armies in twelve countries on three continents and spearheaded assassination plots to overthrow foreign governments including those of Cuba, Panama, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti.Warrior follows the incredible-yet-true adventures of Sturgis, brought to life by his nephew, Jim Hunt, who lived with Sturgis, and his co-writer, Bob Risch. Also included are never-before-seen personal photos of Sturgis and his compatriots.https://amzn.to/4eBDrNcBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

La inmensa mayoría de los jueces y los fiscales se han movilizado para defender el Estado de Derecho frente al intento de Sánchez de controlar el Poder Judicial. La situación es tan grave que han sentido la necesidad de mostrar su rechazo no solo con las protestas de sus principales asociaciones, sino saliendo a la calle. Al sanchismo y sus aliados políticos y mediáticos les molestan unos jueces y fiscales independientes, porque instruyen causas que afectan a la familia presidencial y a la corrupción sistémica del PSOE. Les gustaría más contar con operadores del Derecho como Conde-Pumpido dispuestos a servir al poder político siempre que sea de izquierdas. No quieren juristas con una buena formación que superen unas oposiciones basadas en el mérito y la capacidad. Esa Justicia del pueblo que denominan democrática es, simplemente, una monstruosidad. Es la peor pesadilla para cualquier demócrata. Nos retrotrae a los planteamientos de la izquierda populista iberoamericana de Hugo Chávez, Cristina Kirchner, Daniel Ortega o Fidel Castro. Por supuesto, nada más cómodo que los jueces y fiscales que había en la Unión Soviética.

This is a taster episode of the Fidel Castro story. To hear episodes 2-10, head over to Real Dictators and hit follow. Fidel Castro - a revolutionary turned strongman dictator, beloved by his supporters and loathed by his enemies. The bête noire of the United States who pushed the world to the brink of annihilation. The ultimate political survivor who evaded hundreds of barely believable assassination attempts. We scroll back to the early years of the one they would call El Loco. It all begins on a farm in the east of Cuba - an island paradise with dark undercurrents swirling beneath the surface… Real Dictators is a Noiser podcast production, narrated by Paul McGann.

You may know Ed Helms from The Daily Show, The Office and The Hangover movies. But the actor and comedian is also a history buff. And he thinks there's a lot we can learn – and laugh about – by delving into history's greatest, zaniest and funniest screw-ups. Helms explores those stories in his podcast and book SNAFU. He joins Piya Chattopadhyay to share some of his favourites – from a CIA plot to make Fidel Castro's beard fall out, to a nuclear scare in Canada where a 20-something future-president named Jimmy Carter saved the day.

After a tragedy in the Florida Straits, a dramatic tug of war takes place between Castro and America - all centred on a five-year-old boy. A new leader in the Soviet Union comes to power with fresh ideas which terrify Fidel. The Berlin Wall crumbles, putting Cuba on the brink. As riots break out in Havana, rebellion is in the air...

Alberto Gonçalves comenta a opinião de Marques Mendes sobre Fidel Castro.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mario Seiglie and I talked a few days after the death of Fidel Castro, who died November 15, 2016.  Mario's father knew Castro personally.  Mario describes their ordeal of escaping Cuba to the United States when he was seven years old. Mario Seiglie is Senior Pastor over the United Church of God Spanish-speaking areas of the world.  

Avsnitt nummer 200 av "Hemma hos Strage" gästas av Desmond Child, den legendariske hitmakaren som bland annat skrivit Alice Coopers "Poison", Kiss "I was made for lovin' you", Chers "Just like Jesse James", Joan Jetts "I hate myself for loving you", Ricky Martins "Livin' la vida loca" och Bon Jovis alla slagdängor. Desmond berättar om sin kubanska mor och hennes glamourösa systrar som dejtade Fulgencio Batista och Fidel Castro, om att mobbas i skolan men räddas av Mickey Rourke, om att komma ut ur garderoben utan att någon bryr sig, om discons sista dagar, om att få sin bil demolerad av Meat Loaf, om att hånas av stjärnan som han gjort förmögen (Gene Simmons), om idolerna Laura Nyro och Barbra Streisand och om när Steven Tyler från Aerosmith såg en snygg tjej i en bar och upptäckte att det var Vince Neil från Mötley Crüe – vilket inspirerade hitten som Desmond skrev åt dem: "Dude looks like a lady".

When a bomb goes off on a south Florida street, it bears all the hallmarks of a Cuban expert. Castroland is going international. As exiles flock to Miami, Fidel sets off on a globe-trotting mission - meeting Colonel Gaddafi in Libya and dispatching troops to Angola. But back at home, not everything is rosy. And when a bus driver rams his vehicle through the gates of an embassy, Castro will encounter a problem unlike any he's ever faced before… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann.

“From the very beginning the intent was that the American people needed to be able to access the records so that we would be able to hold the government accountable for its actions.” - David FerrieroDuring the first Trump administration, when access to certain websites and information was being threatened, we started our Keepers series about activist archivists, rogue librarians, historians, collectors, curators — protectors of the culture and the free flow of information and ideas. Today our national librarians and archivists are being fired, our museums are being threatened, our journalists are being hampered, and truth and transparency is once again under attack.In 2017, we talked with David Ferriero, the 10th Archivist of the United States, about the the beginnings of the National Archives under Franklin Roosevelt and its purpose. Ferriero tells of early keepers like Stephen Pleasonton, a brave civil servant who saved the Constitution and Declaration of Independence as the British burned Washington during the War of 1812. Stories of a letter from Fidel Castro to President Roosevelt requesting a $10 dollar bill, and a letter from Annie Oakley to William McKinley volunteering to rally 50 women sharp shooters to fight in the Spanish Civil War.Selected as Archivist of the United States in 2010 by President Obama during the time of his Open Government Initiative, Ferriero worked to make the system more transparent and accessible to the public.   With a collection of about 13 billion pieces of paper, 43 million photographs and miles and miles of film and video and about 6 billion electronic records, Ferriero believes “we are responsible for documenting what is going on.” “I think my favorite times are twice a year when we do naturalization ceremonies in the Rotunda and between 50 and 200 new citizens are sworn in in front of the Constitution," he said. "Just to see them experiencing the documents outlining the rights that are now theirs. Those are powerful moments.”

Yul VazquezTake a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know Yul Vazquez. Born in Havana, Yul and all of the women in his family escaped Fidel Castro's Cuba to make a new life in Miami Beach, Florida. In this episode, Yul and I chat about how difficult it was for his mother, and grandmother to relocate to a new country with two children: having no money, no job, and not speaking the language. He shares how impactful those women, that experience and those early times were in influencing his life moving forward. I bring up some of the thought processes behind Yul's work as a painter, and as a photographer. We even discuss some specific pieces that I am madly in love with. Next. I pepper him with questions about his music career, where he was signed to TWO different major record labels, under TWO different bands; all before he even thought about becoming an actor. Also, I get him to tell me how he became such good friends with some of music's most iconic players. Yul is great friends with so many of the folks that we all grew up listening to, including: Judas Priest's Rob Halford, The Cult's Ian Astbury, and Maynard James Keenan (Tool / Pucifer / Sessanta 2.0). Yul shares tales of how he came to be the guitarist for the bands Urgent & Diving For Pearls; before being told by a psychic that he would become a successful actor! We go all over the place in this interview. I question him about his member ship in a character actor dinner club that is comprised of about a dozen of his friends; some who are previous guests of my show are. I even get Yul to tell me what he got his wife for their 23rd wedding anniversary, which was about a week after we recorded this conversation. We talk about what made him and some other Latino actor friends start The LAByrinth Theater Company in New York. Finally, I ask all the questions I can about his work on Seinfeld, Magic City, and of course Severance. Yul is such an amazing talent in all areas. Check out his website YulZavquez.com for more insight into his painting and photography and catch Yul on just about every television show or film out there. (Side note, we do talk a bit about a baseball cap that he designed, that I think is slick, and stylish. For more information about that, you may need to hit him up on Instagram.)

You might think that Ernesto “Che” Guevara's resistance came with the Cuban revolution. When he sailed on the yacht known as the Granma, picked up arms, fought alongside Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra, and liberated the island of Cuba. Or when he denounced US intervention at the United Nations, or when he helped to lead Cuba and make it self-sufficient, despite the US embargo that still exists today. Or when he left it all behind to try and spark a revolution in Bolivia.But Ernesto Guevara's resistance began long before all of that. It began when he traveled. When he wandered the land. When he saw the unjust global system all around him—a caste system imposed on the countries of Latin America, where the wealthy were at the top and everyone else fought over the miserable crumbs. And Che Guevara refused to obey. Che vowed to do everything he could to fight it. To resist it. And resist he did… This is episode 46 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/QuF8aMLHQYw La Masacre del Río Canímar: El Crimen de Estado que Cuba Quiere Ocultar.

En este video de ErnestoMiami, analizamos en detalle este crimen de Estado, que costó la vida de entre 50 y 60 personas, incluyendo mujeres y niños, a manos del gobierno de Fidel Castro.

Castro sets out to create a breed of “new people” - turning Cuba into an island of mini-Fidels. A particular dairy cow becomes a national treasure and hot dog vendors are declared counter-revolutionary, as things get surreal. Fidel's own sister flees, declaring Cuba a “floating prison”. And as one of the dictator's right-hand men is killed, the revolution will be rocked to its foundations… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann.

In this can't-miss episode, we sit down with South Bronx legend Jimmy Rodriguez — the Puerto Rican visionary behind NYC staples like Jimmy’s Bronx Café, Sofrito, and Don Coqui for a raw and real conversation about hustle, legacy, and staying true to your roots. Jimmy opens up about growing up in the Bronx, dropping out of high school, and hitting the streets with his dad as teen selling lobsters, a grind that would later shape his journey as a restauranteur. He shares how a lack of Latino-owned spots in the city fueled his mission to fill that void and how he secured millions as a young man to build what would become cultural hubs for Latinos in NYC. From legendary nights hosting Celia Cruz, J.Lo, Tito Puentes, Yankees players... to the wild story of why Fidel Castro ended up at his Bronx Cafe (and how Jimmy wound up in Cuba with Castro’s uniform in hand), this episode is packed with surprises. He gets candid about fatherhood, including being estranged from his son with actress Michael Michele. Plus, we touch on his new spot SoBro, his thoughts on Diddy’s public downfall, and why the Yankees have fallen short in showing real love to the Bronx. Jimmy’s far from done and considers himself a forever student of life, of the restaurant game, and of the culture. Tap in for a story of resilience, reinvention, and real Bronx royalty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inside The CIA's Secret War In Jamaica tells the story of the campaign from the United States to destabilize the Michael Manley government in 1976 due to his ties to Fidel Castro. The book covers the rise of violence between the PNP (People's National Party) and the JLP (Jamaica Labor Party), the assassination attempt of Bob Marley, and the rise of the Jamaica Shower Posse and its ties to the CIA. Gane-McCalla also takes an in-depth look into the events leading up to 1976 for both the CIA and the country of Jamaica including Jamaica's history of pirates and slave rebellions, and its road to independence. To understand the nature and history of the CIA, the book gets to the bottom of the John F. Kennedy assassination, Watergate, CIA heroin smuggling in Laos during the Vietnam War, and cocaine trafficking during Iran-Contra, which involved the same players who were involved in destabilizing Jamaica.https://amzn.to/3T72cGRBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Che on My Mind is an impressionistic look at the life, death, and legacy of Che Guevara by the renowned feminist poet and activist Margaret Randall. Recalling an era and this figure, she writes, "I am old enough to remember the world in which [Che] lived. I was part of that world, and it remains a part of me." Randall participated in the Mexican student movement of 1968 and eventually was forced to leave the country. She arrived in Cuba in 1969, less than two years after Che's death, and lived there until 1980. She became friends with several of Che's family members, friends, and compatriots. In Che on My Mind she reflects on his relationships with his family and fellow insurgents, including Fidel Castro. She is deeply admiring of Che's integrity and charisma and frank about what she sees as his strategic errors. Randall concludes by reflecting on the inspiration and lessons that Che's struggles might offer early twenty-first-century social justice activists and freedom fighters.About The Author(s)Margaret Randall, born in New York in 1936, is a feminist poet, writer, photographer, and social activist. After living in Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua since the 1960s, she attempted to return to the United States in 1984. Randall had inadvertently lost her U.S. citizenship when she acquired the citizenship of her Mexican husband in 1967. The U.S. government refused to reinstate her citizenship after finding opinions expressed in some of her books to be "against the good order and happiness of the United States." The Center for Constitutional Rights defended Randall, and many writers and others joined in an almost five-year battle for reinstatement of her citizenship. She won her case in 1989. In 1990 she was awarded the Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett grant for writers victimized by political repression. Randall is the author of more than eighty books, including the oral histories Cuban Women Now, Sandino's Daughters, and When I Look into the Mirror and See You: Women, Terror, and Resistance. A documentary, The Unapologetic Life of Margaret Randall, was released in 2001. Randall lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

JAL takes Paul on a wonderful flight to Haneda (that amenity kit too!). The new HND approach is everything (but HND T3 isn't). The aircraft guide for kids, by Vinod (and how wonderful are those Delta pilots!). An airborne Wifi setup that is so long, it will get you sober. An ode to the 757, they really don't make planes like those anymore (but Delta does a great job refreshing them). Want to invite 8 people to the lounge? Be an Ultimate baller (if you have one of those super exclusive statuses, get in touch!). The battle of the Guanacaste Airport carts (and the battle of gate PA announcements). Even ATL looks nice in a golden hour. JAL Euphony, or the only valid excuse to listen to content without headphones! That time when Paul got to drink whisky in the cockpit with a disheveled Fidel Castro (well, not exactly, but close enough). —Follow us, and comment on: Instagram - Bluesky - Threads - Mastodon - Twitter/XComment on each episode, and rate us, on SpotifyReview, and rate us, on Apple PodcastsComment, like, review, and rate us, on FacebookComment on YouTube (there's no video, just audio!)Search for "Layovers" on any podcast service (some direct links are on our website)If we're missing one, or if you have any feedback, let Paul know on Instagram - Threads - Mastodon - Bluesky - Twitter/X

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/Gtw2cQuRJ0sEste análisis revela la verdadera naturaleza de las Unidades Militares de Ayuda a la Producción (UMAP), campos de concentración establecidos en Cuba entre 1965-1968. Basado en seis documentos históricos recientemente revelados por el periodista José Raúl Gallego, el video expone el carácter sistemático y planificado de estos campos de trabajo forzado donde fueron internados miles de cubanos considerados "desviados": homosexuales, religiosos, disidentes y otros catalogados como "lacra social".Los documentos desmienten la narrativa oficial que presentaba las UMAP como un "error histórico" de la Revolución Cubana. En cambio, muestran un sistema meticulosamente diseñado con planes específicos para la "reeducación" mediante trabajo forzado, tortura psicológica y física, y experimentos pseudocientíficos inspirados en teorías pavlovianas. Un documento detalla un "Centro Modelo de Reeducación" para homosexuales, clasificándolos según categorías y diseñando intervenciones para "corregir" su orientación.El material revela métodos brutales de tortura como "El Hoyo" (enterramiento), ahogamientos, y descargas eléctricas, todo justificado bajo el concepto de "higiene social" promovido por intelectuales afines al régimen como Samuel Feijóo. Los documentos también exponen la persecución sistemática contra grupos religiosos, principalmente católicos y bautistas, considerados contrarrevolucionarios.Este testimonio documental demuestra la institucionalización del mal en la Cuba revolucionaria, un sistema que no surgió por accidente sino como parte de un plan estructurado para eliminar cualquier elemento que no encajara en la visión del "hombre nuevo" socialista, un capítulo oscuro de la historia cubana que intentó ser borrado.**** Para más videos VISITA - www.ErnestoMiami.com

While Batista tries to convince the world that Castro is dead, Fidel regroups in the mountains. The world's press descends on Cuba, hoping to meet this elusive rebel, and Fidel is only too happy to grant everyone interviews. Meanwhile, in Havana, Batista's sick son helps to save him from assassination. But his grip on the island is slipping… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann.

Dans l'histoire de l'agriculture mondiale, peu d'animaux ont connu la notoriété d'Ubre Blanca, une vache cubaine devenue un symbole national dans les années 1980. Son nom, qui signifie « mamelle blanche » en espagnol, est aujourd'hui encore évoqué comme un exploit biologique… et un instrument politique.Ubre Blanca était une vache croisée entre une Holstein (race laitière allemande) et une Zébu cubaine, deux races choisies pour allier forte production laitière et adaptation au climat tropical. Ce croisement a été initié par les équipes agricoles sous la direction du gouvernement de Fidel Castro, qui voyait dans l'agriculture un levier de souveraineté nationale.En 1982, Ubre Blanca bat un record mondial homologué par le Livre Guinness des records : elle produit 113,5 litres de lait en une seule journée, là où une vache classique produit entre 20 et 30 litres. Sur une période de 305 jours, elle donne 24 268,9 litres, pulvérisant les standards de l'époque. À titre de comparaison, une vache française moyenne produit aujourd'hui autour de 9 000 litres par an.Cette prouesse n'est pas qu'un exploit agricole, elle devient un symbole de la réussite du socialisme cubain. Fidel Castro lui-même évoque fréquemment Ubre Blanca dans ses discours comme preuve que l'homme nouveau et l'agriculture d'État peuvent surpasser les limites imposées par la nature. L'animal devient une véritable célébrité nationale : des articles lui sont consacrés, des poèmes sont écrits à sa gloire, et même une statue en marbre est érigée à Nueva Gerona, sur l'île de la Jeunesse, après sa mort en 1985.Mais Ubre Blanca est aussi le produit d'un encadrement scientifique et vétérinaire intense. Elle vivait sous surveillance constante, nourrie selon un régime hyper-contrôlé, dans des conditions qui n'étaient pas reproductibles à l'échelle nationale. Malgré les tentatives de clonage menées dans les années 2000, aucune autre vache n'a jamais atteint un tel niveau de production à Cuba.Sa mort marque la fin d'un rêve, mais pas celle du mythe. Aujourd'hui encore, Ubre Blanca symbolise à la fois l'orgueil agricole d'un petit pays sous embargo, les limites de l'exploitation animale, et l'instrumentalisation de la science à des fins idéologiques.Si elle ne broute plus depuis longtemps, la mémoire d'Ubre Blanca continue de ruminer dans l'imaginaire cubain, entre admiration sincère et propagande bien orchestrée. Une vache devenue, en quelque sorte, une légende d'État. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Fidel Castro - a revolutionary turned strongman dictator, beloved by his supporters and loathed by his enemies. The bête noire of the United States who pushed the world to the brink of annihilation. The ultimate political survivor who evaded hundreds of barely believable assassination attempts. We scroll back to the early years of the one they would call El Loco. It all begins on a farm in the east of Cuba - an island paradise with dark undercurrents swirling beneath the surface… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann. Featuring Michael J.
