therealnews.com/us-media-co-opts-cuba-protests-for-imperialist-ends Excerpt of President Diaz-Canel speech answering slanders against Cuba"When you go to the [social] networks, if you do not have convictions and firmness, you become anxious, because everything that has been raised from Cuba is totally absurd. There is a reality in the networks, and there is another in the life of this country. He added that family feelings have been manipulated. Friends and relatives abroad have called those who live here to insult them, to incite them to leave the country.
He mentioned the slander that the Army General [Raúl Castro] had left for Caracas, while he assured that [Castro] is in Cuba, with his boots on and with his foot on the ground. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel (left) and Army General and former Cuban President Raúl Castro at July 17 mass rally in Havana. Among the recent lies circulated by opponents of the Revolution was that Raúl Castro had left for Caracas, Díaz-Canel said. (Photo: Granma)“They said that a vice minister of the Interior defected, another lie. All that is sent with photos that are lies. They say that in Cuba there is total repression, and deaths by the thousands. Where are the thousands of deaths, where are the cases of deaths in Cuba? We recognized that there was a deceased and we are doing all the investigation.” The president also denied the false situation created in Camagüey, and gave examples of false photos, of demonstrations in cities of other countries, claiming that they were in the Plaza and on the Havana waterfront. Regarding the alleged news of the leaders who have left the country, the President emphasized that “here there is a lot of courage in all of our people for that. We are going to be here until the last consequences, and I am one of those who is convinced that for this Revolution we give our lives, for the future of Cubans, for the future of our children, of our grandchildren, and because we have had a present and also a future in this country, regardless of all the dreams that we have not been able to achieve due to all this criminal policy,” he said. Media campaign calls for violence It has been a media campaign full of hate, false news, ridiculous and lying images, calling for violent events. Today they circulated a post where they said how to build artifacts or weapons to attack, he warned. “I am one of those who has defended the computerization of society, of the need to use the Internet, but with a humanistic conception. The Internet should promote culture, and should be used to share knowledge,” he clarified. It is an expression of media terrorism, he continued, because calls are being made to kill, to assassinate, in social networks, to create insecurity, panic, to distort. However, he acknowledged, we are left with the conviction that we can do more, that we can face problems, solve them, with hard work, precisely because of the values that our people have."

Cuban Activists set off on 1300 mile walk from Miami to White House to demand end to US BlockadeSEND-OFF CARAVAN WILL DEMAND BIDEN HEED GIANT MAJORITY VOTE AT UN CONDEMNING THE BLOCKADE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 26, 2021 What: High school teacher and Iraq war combat medic veteran Carlos Lazo of Puentes de Amor, along with three other Cuban Americans, will set out on a 1,300-mile march to Washington, DC at the conclusion of a send-off car caravan through the streets of Miami on Sunday, June 27. “It is time to lift the sanctions that weigh on the Cuban family. In the face of hatred and intolerance, it is high time that we extend a hand of generosity and humanity to a people who, in the midst of a pandemic, resist an economic siege,” says Lazo. Lazo’s pilgrimage to Washington DC comes on the heels of a cross country bicycle trip he undertook last year from Seattle to Washington, DC, calling for an end to the blockade. That trip inspired Miami’s Cuban-Americans to start monthly caravans to end the blockade, a movement that has spread all over the country--and the world. Sunday’s Miami caravan will be the 13th one, each one larger than the one before. When/Where: The caravan departs at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 27, from Ponce de Leon Park, 1201 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, in Coral Gables. Assembly and preparations will start at 8:30AM. The caravan will end up at the statue of Toussaint Louverture at NW 62nd Street and N. Miami Avenue in Little Haiti. From there, Lazo and the others will set off on their walk at about 11:00 am.
