ARNOLD'S BOOKS
This is the only book authored by a non-Cuban that thoroughly explores Cuba’s electoral process. Based on the author’s 18-month stay on the island, it provides a comprehensive account of the entire process, enriched with dozens of his original photos, making you feel as if you were there! (Havana: Editorial José Martí, 1999)
The book examines Cuba’s neighbours Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador, providing insights into their democratic developments. It expands on the author’s 1999 book, offering a critical look at Cuba’s political system through Cuban revolutionaries’ perspectives. The chapter “Democracy in the U.S.” explores cooptation and racial dynamics in the U.S. system, essential for understanding the 2024 election. (Halifax: Fernwood Publishing, 2013)

To understand the U.S. policy of undermining Cuba through cultural wars, this book is essential. It is the only one in English dedicated to this aspect and accurately predicted the outcome. And the results are far from pretty. (Halifax: Fernwood Publishing, 2017)

FIDEL CASTRO COMMEMORATIVE BOOKLET
Fidel Castro, Guerrillero (Second Edition) by Arnold August
This 25-page, illustrated, trilingual commemorative booklet by Arnold August was first published in 2016 as a tribute to Fidel Castro. It contains two insightful texts available in English, Spanish and French: “Fidel the Guerrilla in 2015–16 and Beyond” and “Fidel’s Legacy to the World on Theory and Practice.” The first piece is a presentation Arnold gave in August 2016 on Fidel’s 90th birthday, highlighting what Arnold believes to be Fidel’s prescient insights on Obama’s Cuba policy, which have been vindicated by recent events. The second piece also provides a glimpse into today’s Cuba, its strengths and weaknesses.
This second edition, published in September 2024, commemorates a decade since Presidents Barack Obama and Raúl Castro re-established diplomatic relations in December 17, 2014, followed in 2016 by Obama’s historic visit to Cuba.
After the U.S. elections, if Harris wins, get ready for Obama 2.0 in U.S. foreign policy with Trump/Biden/Harris characteristics. This includes the drastically changed Cuba–U.S. policy resulting from the December 17, 2014, agreement between Presidents Barack Obama and Raúl Castro to reopen their countries’ respective embassies. Read the story behind Obama’s goals and his March 2016 visit to Cuba. What was Fidel Castro’s view on both the December 17 agreement and Obama’s visit to Cuba?

Video: “From the South” interview on teleSUR, Nov. 4, 2024
My teleSUR TV interview was held one day before the U.S. elections. I declared then: “The main issue is Palestine.” The next day, in my view, the Democrats and their liberal media were severely punished. This satisfying conclusion is far from unanimous; thus, in the next issue of this newsletter, I will elaborate on the results and my controversial findings.

In the interview below, watch how I call out the Democrats as the most likely to set in motion World War III. Note: Please keep in mind that the Internet connection between Caracas and Montreal was relatively weak.

The vote in the U.N. on the American blockade of Cuba: When is the Trudeau government going to stand up and speak out for our friend Cuba? Surprised? The proof: see the pictures in the video from the U.N. vote.
