🇨🇺 #Correo de #Cuba #Libre finally got these in the mail :). Issued 2016 #USA in honor of #PedroLuisBoitel #ArtPost #postagestamp #FreeCubaPostage #alzados #sheet
🇨🇺 #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 #postagestamp issued in 1959 by the dictator himself. The #revolution was a lie from its beginning. It only shows how easily is to manipulate people who use emotions over reason in terms of #politics ( not a part of my collection) #SayNoToCommunism #1959 #sello #HumanRights #philately #filatelia #revoluciOFF
🇨🇺 #Cuba #VersosSencillos Issued 1991 | #JoseMartí was a poet, writer and thinker in the 19th century. He was also exiled for wanting #independence from the #Spanish crown. "Rights are taken, not asked for or begged." -JM In current times, he would have been also an activist and dissent in #Cuba under the #communist regime. | José Martí, un pensador independentista y parte del exilio cubano en el siglo 19. Una de mis frases favoritas: " Los derechos se toman, no se piden, se arrancan, no se mendigan." #AbajoCastro #postagestamp #sello #stampcollection #philately #filatelia #instalike #instamood #instagood #tgif #derechoshumanos

🇦🇴 #Angola #postagestamp issued 1957 | #stampcollection #stamp A few years later: Operación Carlota in 1975 in which the Castro regime decided to send around 350k #Cubans to help the MPLA of Agostinho Neto install Marxism in the country. The civil war lasted over 13 years and according to some estimates over 2000 Cubans died. The rest came back mutilated, traumatized and some sick. Today, these veterans are mostly abandoned. | Años después ocurriría la Operación Carlota, donde desplegaron 82 miembros del Minint vestidos de civil para Angola. Alrededor de 350k cubanos fueron parte de la guerra civil que duró 13 años. El punto era ayudar al comunista Agostinho Neto tomar el poder. Murieron alrededor de 2000 cubanos y muchos mutilados, traumatizados regresaron para ser olvidados y quedar recogiendo basura en las calles. #Cuba
