Truly this is one of the first videos ever showing the reality of Cuba as I entered into Cuba alone without a government guided tour guide. Hence why they had spies on me and a 2 Star Communist General came for me at the hotel to interrogate me. To support my work consider becoming an 𝕏 subscriber for $5/month, it’s the best way to support directly on 𝕏🙏🏼

Incredible report! Well done Nick and fiends! One thing I just took from that as a summary was the one guy willing to really talk and he said the words below. Not sure why people think it’s going to be different anywhere else. 👏👏

Great exposé as always Nick. Glad you got out of Cuba safely despite the harassment and intimidation you faced. You’re doing great reporting and making a solid name for yourself. You’ve also shown that the Cuban people are hungry for positive change. Well done!

Socialism is antithetical to Christianity in every way. Christianity believes in private property, Socialism doesnt. Christianity believes that God is sovereign, Socialism believes the state is. Christianity believes in the rule of law, Socialism is corrupt and lawless. RETWEET

I will never forget what a 50+ year old man working at the Hotel Nacional in Havana told me in 2012. I was sitting outside in the big patio area and a hotel worker was standing nearby watching the news on a TV that was on at the bar, i started talking to him, he spoke perfect english, he told me he spoke numerous other languages which the hotel arranged for him to learn at the university over the years. he was well educated. he told me he knew he will never be able to leave or have the chance to see the places the people he meets are from and where the languages he learned are spoken. that was one of the saddest things i ever heard in my life. it was a reality that he recognized and accepted. one of the interactions that shaped my opinion on that island and communism in general. Cuba is literally an island of slaves, captured by Castro and a few other men who sold the fantasy of social equality; but there are only two classes in their reality, the leaders and the slaves.

As aomeone that was raised by Cuban parents, who suffered greatly at the hands of the communist regime, we fully support this, Nick! My mom was just talking about how finally someone had the guts to go in there and expose it all. That being said, pray for the uncensored faces in this video. They will likely be targeted by the assigned neighborhood spies that Cuba imports to every block. May we live to see a free Cuba 🇨🇺🇺🇸

How can you tell which are Cuban police and which are citizens (aka prisoners in a communist regime)? The police are well fed. The people are gaunt and starving.

Thank you for risking your life to show the world what communism looks like. I live in a blue city #Pittsburgh and we have socialists on our city and county council. We are on the brink of one day becoming LA, Portland, or Chicago. Traditional democrats vote blue no matter who, ask me how I know? I ran for city council and I am a Republican. They do not yet fully see that socialists have taken over the democrat party. Thank you for all you do!

@Mark_J_Perry Some of us grew up in a Communist country like this and we are glad that we don’t live there anymore. It’s infuriating that champagne Marxists here want to replace the great American experiment with this failed ideology.

This is 100% the US embargo’s fault. Cuba would be a socialist paradise if America wasn’t strangling them for years. Classic Yankee imperialism.

Anyone that supports communism in the US, should have to mandatory live in a communist country for a maximum of 5 yrs...by then, hopefully it will change their stance. For the supporters, it's an ideology For the ones living it, it's pure HELL!

This was 17 years ago. For those who blame the embargo and the U.S. the person in the video was jailed and tortured for stating the obvious which was the lack of food. He passed away recently. Don’t let the Communist and Socialists defend the indefensible.

Liberal Canadians love Cuban communism. They can't wait to dump all that misery into Canada aka Chinada. Time to clean house, Canada.

Funny fraud conveniently pops up anywhere there’s an election or political opponent. Meanwhile Florida is number 1 healthcare fraud state. Now Trump wants Cuba…. Magically there’s Nick Shirley again.

Photos I took in Cuba over several years. Communism is a disaster for the people and many are too scared to openly criticize till they’ve known you long enough to open up.

I am about to raise hell. I came from Youtube, because it automatically dubs to a bunch of languages except English and Spanish. Clearly this is an attempt to limit people from watching the video. Fuck communists and socialists pieces of shit y'all will answer to God for crimes against humanity!

🚨 WOW! Sec. Marco Rubio just MIC DROPPED the globalist United Nations accusing Trump of causing a "humanitarian crisis" in Cuba due to no oil "If Cuba is a humanitarian disaster? It's because their REGIME is a disaster! Because the economic model they follow doesn't WORK." "Cuba has been a humanitarian catastrophe now for three or four YEARS — and maybe even LONGER — because they didn't invest in their own infrastructure. They STOLE all the money to build hotels and line their own pockets and because they're no longer stealing oil from Venezuela for FREE!" 🔥 "In fact, it's nonsensical because they don't allow private sector to flourish — because they don't allow individual Cubans to choose their own path in life!" "The reason Cuba has a lack of oil is because Venezuela doesn't give them FREE oil anymore. Understand, they were getting free oil from Venezuela. They were stealing oil from Venezuela and they were getting it for free." "Some of it, they would use about 30% of it for their own needs, and then they would resell the rest of it for CASH, and that stopped. So that's number one!" "They were having blackouts before that, even with the Venezuelan oil. Cuba had multiple blackouts over the last three or four years because they didn't invest into their own energy infrastructure. Their economic model doesn't work." "Cuba is a humanitarian catastrophe? And we've offered them $100 million of humanitarian aid. Others have as well. No one's impeding that from coming in!" 🔥🔥🔥 RUBIO CAN'T BE BEAT! Honestly, if anyone knows more about Cuba than Marco, it's NOT the United Nations. All they do is parrot anti-American talking points and try to make right-wing leaders look bad Cuba is suffering because of COMMUNISM, not America. Maybe they should surrender 🇺🇸🇨🇺
