🇺🇸 #Communism exterminates nations #poster #stamp #US circa #1950 so much truth in that statement. I've been collecting stamps since I was 12 years old and in all these years I've noticed how great is the number of pro communist propaganda stamps than the ones that actually expose it. It has been hard to come across anti communist #postagestamps #Totalitarianism has spend a lot of money and resources on them. #sellos #philately #HumanRights #stampcollector #insta

🇺🇸 #USA #BillOfRights "This Bill of Rights Issue stamp commemorates the 175th anniversary of the ratification of the United States Bill of Rights, the collective name of the first ten amendments to the United State Constitution. They provide basic legal protection for individual rights. They were introduced to the First United States Congress by James Madison in 1789. The stamp features a design of two hands – “freedom” checking “tyranny” – by editorial cartoonist Herbert Block, also known as Herblock." Issue date: July 1st, 1966. | #sello en conmemoración a los #derechos #civiles en #EEUU. Estas enmiendas a la constitución se introdujeron en el Congreso en 1789 con el propósito de garantizar los derechos #individuales. El artista Herblock diseñó dos manos: una representando la #libertad que esta chequeando a la mano de la #tirania . #stamp #philately #filatelia #stampcollection #donttreadonme
🇨🇺 #Cuba #Stamp El Presidio issued 1953 , 100 years after #JoseMarti birth | José Martí was a writer, poet, and independentist during times of the rebellion against Spain. His figure has been used by the Castro regime to favor their marxist agenda. Seen here, a young Martí, age 16, was a political prisoner when in 1963, his home was searched by Spanish military who found letter the boy wrote to discourage a friend from joining the Spanish army. If José Martí were alive today, he would have been a political prisoner again since he warned at such an early date of the dangers of #socialism and #marxism . Especially on a letter to his dear friend Fermín Valdés, New York, 1894 : " .. There are 2 dangerous things of the socialist idea (..) it provides foreign, confusing and incomplete arguments, hidden rage and arrogance of ambitious people, who in order to raise up in the world to have shoulders to lean on, they pretend to be avid defenders of the helpless." | José Martí en el Presidio Político cuando tenía solo 16 años por sus ideas independentistas. #sello Sin dudas el poeta hubiera estado preso en nuestros tiempos en #Cuba ya que José jamás se tragó el cuento del socialismo y el marxismo. En una carta a su amigo Fermín Valdés ( prohibida en Cuba) le escribe: " Dos peligros tiene la idea socialista, como tantas otras: el de las lecturas extranjerizas, confusas e incompletas: y el de la soberbia y rabia disimulada de los ambiciosos, que parar ir levantándose en el mundo empiezan por fingirse, para tener hombros en que alzarse, frenéticos defensores de los desamparados." New York 1894.

🇦🇴 #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
🇨🇺 #Cuba #KingAlfonsoXIII 1898 turn of the century. #stamp #sello #monarquia #filatelia #philatelia The Alfonso collection from this time is notorious for the stamp forgeries. In 1898, the war for independence from Spain was still raging ( The Ten Year War). A year prior, Valeriano Weiler ( Butcher Weiler) left the island after his repressive failure known as the reconcentration, where a lot of Cuban families, including mine, where confined into towns. Years later, dictator Castro would repeat the same with the Captive towns ( Pueblos Cautivos) and the Umap( forced labor camps for dissidents, religious groups and the lgtbq) | Por algún motivo, esta collección de sellos de Alfonso tiene reproducciones falsas. En 1898, Cuba aun seguía bajo la guerra de los 10 Años, independentistas vs. la corona. Un año antes el general represor Valeriano Weiler dejaba el país tras el fracaso de la reconcentración, un desplazamiento masivo de familias, incluyendo la mía, confinadas a pueblos. Años mas tarde, este tipo de práctica represiva sería continuada por el dictador #Castro con los Pueblos Cautivos y los campos de trabajo forzados #Umap.

Just got my planet stamps from the US Postal Office today for some summer letter writing. They are beautiful!
Space Stamps
Coming in to a post office near you: new “Views of Our Planets: Forever stamps featuring iconic images of the planets in our solar system, including the well-known “Blue Marble” photo of Earth.
New “Pluto Explored” Forever stamps commemorating the July 2015 flyby of Pluto by our New Horizons spacecraft are also being issued for online purchase.
The May 31 first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony for the Pluto and planetary stamps will be in New York City at the World Stamp Show. This international gathering of stamp collectors occurs only once each decade in the United States, and – with more than 250,000 visitors expected to attend – is the largest stamp show in the world.
The Pluto stamps are of special significance to the New Horizons team, which placed a 20-cent 1991 “Pluto: Not Yet Explored” stamp on board the spacecraft. On July 14, 2015, New Horizons carried the stamp on its history-making journey to Pluto and beyond, as jubilant members of the mission team celebrated with a large print, striking the words “not yet.”
The above pane of 16 Forever stamps, the Postal Service showcases some of the more visually compelling historic, full-disk images of the planets obtained during the last half-centruy of our space exploration. Eight new colorful Forever stamps – each shown twice – feature Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
This isn’t the first time that space has been featured on postal stamps. In the past, many different space images and missions have been highlighted on the tiny pieces of paper you stick on the corner of your mail.
Here’s a look at a few space stamps of the past:
Nebulae
Stamps depicting multiple nebulae seen by the Hubble Space Telescope were released in 2000.
Pioneer 10
Launched in 1972, Pioneer 10 was the first spacecraft to travel through the asteroid belt and obtain close-ups of Jupiter
U.S. Launches Satellites
This stamp, released in 1999, depicts the post World War II race in space exploration.
Alan Shepard: First American in Space
This stamp, released in 2011, featured Alan Shepard, the first American in space. Flying on the Mercury spacecraft, Shepard launched, flew 116 miles high and came back to Earth. His flight lasted about 15 and a half minutes.
MESSENGER Mission
MESSENGER, launching in 2004, was the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury. This stamp, released in 2011, highlighted this mission and its importance. Understanding Mercury and how it formed is critical to better understanding the conditions on and evolution of the inner planets.
The new “Views of our Planets” stamps will be widely available across the U.S. at post offices and for online purchase beginning May 31. The Pluto – Explored Forever stamps will only be sold online or by calling 800-782-6724.
