Anubis, protector of the gates to the Underworld, seated atop a chest, found in the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62).
Anubis or Anpu was the god of embalming and the dead. Since jackals were often seen in cemeteries, the ancient Egyptians believed that Anubis watched over the dead. Anubis was the god who helped to embalm Osiris after he was killed by Seth. The Shrine is now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.

The National Network on Cuba says the fundamental humanitarian aid that Cuba needs is ending the U.S. economic commercial and financial blockade. Just like “San Ysidro,” “Zunzuneo” and so many other instigations and provocations bought and paid for with U.S. workers’ tax dollars, the origins of the current difficulty experienced in Cuba will be fully exposed.
The part that we know is the sinister role of the U.S. government in its attempt to foment regime change in Cuba. The current efforts to destabilize Cuba are reminiscent of the April 6, 1960 Mallory-Rubottom memo which prescribed measures “as inconspicuous as possible” to bring hunger and hardship to the Cuban people so they choose capitalist wage slavery as a respite. The audacity that a formerly colonized, Black and Brown people, would dare to choose an independent path! How else can we view the Biden administration’s refusal to restore even a modicum of relief for Cuban families?
The brief and limited easing of parts of the blockade by the Obama administration provided a glimpse of Cuba’s potential to flourish if left to develop peacefully. But instead, a heavier weight was loaded onto the Cuban people, then came the coronavirus pandemic. How could it possibly be justified to deny the right to freely trade for medicine, medical equipment, food and human necessities? And now, more than six months into a new presidency, this genocidal policy is enforced and justified by the current Secretary of State.
