Cuba’s Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR) announced on Tuesday that 13 Cuban military officials are missing after two explosions occurred at an ammunition depot in the eastern municipality of Melones, Holguín.
According to the communist regime, the 13 missing military officials include two majors, two second-class non-commissioned officers, and nine soldiers. The explosions took place in the early midnight hours of Tuesday in a building that the communist regime uses to house “war material.”
Initially, MINFAR stated on social media that the explosions were caused “due to a fire” and that, while the investigations were “ongoing,” the explosions did not “pose a danger” to the local community. Hours later, the Cuban state propaganda outlet Cubadebate reported that 361 people living near the explosion were “protected,” a term used as an euphemism for evacuated.
Cuban-focused outlets reported that Cubadebate and other regime-affiliated outlets originally claimed that the depot stored “old ammunition” and that it was possible that explosions could continue to be heard — but that information was abruptly deleted shortly thereafter, with archived snapshots of the now-deleted posts still accessible. Local residents filmed footage of the explosions’ smoke cloud and published it on social media.
The Castro regime, which has not publicly released much information on the explosions at the ammo depot, informed of the disappearance of the 13 officials some 12 hours after the explosions in a MINFAR statement listing the names and ranks of the missing men. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
