The Two Faced Cuban Government

Seems like April Fool's came a few months early. Cuba announced today that staring early 2009, it will allow the U.N. Human Rights Council to monitor their human rights record. As the announcement was made, plain clothes state "gestapos" were preventing a march from taking place protesting Cuba's violation of human rights. That gives a new meaning to the term "two face".

Minutes after he spoke, plainclothes policemen broke up a small demonstration by
dissidents marking International Human Rights Day in a nearby square. Two were
detained and driven away in a car, a witness said.

Government
supporters, apparently coordinated by state security agents, booed dissidents
and shouted "Viva Fidel" for ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who has not
appeared in public in 16 months.

Cuban Interdiction at a 13 year high

According to this Miami Herald article, the interdiction of Cuban is at its highest level since the 1994 crisis. There has also beena steady increase since the July 2006 "handover of power".

"The year 2007 will go down in the history of South Florida as the year with the greatest number of Cuban migrant interdictions since the 1994 raft crisis."

Regret or Blackmail ??

It seems that police in Brazil have found the two boxers who defected from their Cuban team during the Pan Am Games. What's interesting is that they want to return to Cuba. Iguess the Cuban government has threatend their families if they do not return back to Cuba. That is very typical of Cuba.

Two Cuban boxers who disappeared during last month's Pan American Games were found at a resort near Rio, where police say they partied and ran up an
exorbitant tab.

Now, a police inspector says, they want to go back to Cuba.

Two-time Olympic boxing champion Guillermo Rigondeaux and Erislandy Lara were found Thursday at an inn in the coastal resort city Cabo Frio.

"We still have to clear up the reason why they abandoned their delegation and now want to return," federal police inspector Felicio Laterca said. "Right now, they are only saying they are very dear athletes in their country and that's why they want to return."

Soviet Union #2

Released today was a report from the University of Miami that says Venezuela is sending to Cuba annually $4 billion in oil shipments. That total is up $1 billion more than last year.

The value of Venezuelan oil subsidies to Cuba climbed past $3 billion in 2006 and could swell to $4 billion this year -- almost double current estimates, according to a University of Miami report to be released today.

Venezuela is propping up Cuba's troubled economy with shipments of 94,103 barrels of oil a day, experts at UM's Institute for Cuban and Cuban American Studies (ICCAS) calculated, based on official Havana figures issued last week. That means Cuba last year got some $3.3 billion in oil products from Venezuela, up from $2.7 billion in 2005. Caracas has declined to explain the payment system, but experts believe Havana gets the energy assistance free of charge.

Part 2: Humberto Fontova and CNSNews.com

Part 2 of the interview.

Cybercast News Service: In your book you talk a lot about the various companies that put Che Guevara's face and image on their products.

Humberto Fontova: Yes. AT&T, by the way, was selling cell phones with Che's image on them and, just last week, they yanked them, stopped selling them because we protested - we mounted a phone and email program against the company. AT&T apologized, saying the image should not have been there in the first place and then yanked the product. Target was selling CD cases with Che's face this past Christmas. We protested again, and they yanked the product.

Cybercast News Service: Do you think it's morally fair to equate the placement of Guevara's image on a product to placing Heinrich Himmler's image on a product or Levrenti Beria's image on a product?

Humberto Fontova: Probably not, only because of the ignorance. My guess is that 70 percent or 80 percent who buy Che's image and post it on their product - the product managers - have no idea who Che is. They have a vague idea that he was a cool, revolutionary guy, but they have no idea about what he really did. If AT&T
was telling the truth, it's a perfect example when they said "this guy's image shouldn't have been there in the first place." That confirms what I think. Most people who put the image on a product don't know all the details.

Part 1: Humberto Fontova and CNSNews.com

Read part one of Humberto Fontova's interview with CNSNews.com. They discuss che guevara and his iconic portrayal by many including Hollywood personalities. Also, che guevara: the murderous thug, is a topic of conversation.

(CNSNews.com) - Che Guevara, who aided Fidel Castro in his rise to power in Cuba in the late 1950s and early 1960s, is today an icon of liberal culture worldwide. His picture and image adorn countless products, from posters to t-shirts to CD cases to bikinis.

Robert Redford made a 2004 movie about Guevara, "The Motorcycle Diaries," which won media praise and an Academy Award. Two more Guevara movies are due for release in 2008.

Yet the liberal-left and Hollywood are perpetuating myths, if not outright lies, about Guevara, according to author Humberto Fontova in his book, "Exposing the Real Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him."

Fontova discussed with Cybercast News Service his new book and what he describes as the real Guevara - the man who directly helped Castro put into place a communist regime responsible for at least 102,000 deaths and which has cycled 500,000 people through its gulag.

castro Brother's At Odd ??

It seems like the castro brother's are not in full agreement on Cuba's policy towards the U.S. (evil empire). During the 26 de Julio speech, raul castro said:

''Whatever new administration emerges will have to decide if it will maintain the absurd, illegal and failed policy toward Cuba, or if it will accept the olive branch that we extended,'' he said. ``If the new U.S. authorities finally put aside their arrogance and decide to talk in a civilized manner, they're welcome. If not, we are willing to continue confronting their policy of hostility, even for another 50 years, if that becomes necessary."

Today, invisible big brother says from the deep layers of the Earth, in hell, that there will be no dialogue with the "evil empire",

"Let nobody come under the illusion that the empire, which carries within itself the seeds of its own destruction, will negotiate with Cuba," Castro said Wednesday in an article published by Cuban media.

If fidel is still involved in governmental decisions, then why is there such a huge misunderstanding between the brothers ?? Who is really running Cuba ?? Is fidel capable of make decisions ??

fidel castro KO'd By Intestinal Surgery

So what is it ?? Is he or is he not running the government from his rocking chair in the nursing home ?? I thought he was making phones calls and delegating duties from his hospital bed ?? Like we said all along, they are all full of shit !! They lied to all of you that believed it. Now, fidel castro says that the government will "march ahead without him." No shit !! I could have told you that awhile ago. Little by little we will all find out the complete truth about what the hell is going on in Cuba.

We started off being informed of his intestinal emergency surgery about 4-5- days later. It was labled a state secret. Now, we find out that the government will march with out him. Every few months the missing pieces of the puzzle are given to us.

Convalescing Cuban leader Fidel Castro said on Wednesday that Cuba is "marching ahead" without him at the helm, adding to the view of many Cubans that he is not coming back.

In a cryptic message to the country one year after bowel surgery forced him to hand over power temporarily to his brother Raul for the first time since Cuba's 1959 revolution, Castro said nothing about resuming office.

"I am being bombarded now with questions about when I will return to what some call power," he wrote in a column published on the front page of the Communist Party newspaper Granma.

"Raul, the party, the government and the mass and social organizations, led by the workers, are marching ahead guided by the unbreakable principle of unity," he said.

Another Edition of the U.N. (Non) Human Rights Council

Back in July, I wrote a post about this disgraceful organization and how we should stop funding this garbage. This article sheds more light on this topic ans hopefully one day funding will stop. It is nice to see that there are poeple out there that see it the same way we do.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing dealt last week with the United Nations Human Rights Council performance. The newly named council was formed last year to replace the U.N. Commission on Human Rights. Last month, the Senate committee approved legislation proposed by Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., to end U.S. funding of the commission. Coleman pointed out that the watchdog group's almost exclusive focus on Israel and its failure to investigate other countries made it a "disgrace" and that the council "has essentially one issue on the agenda: Israel. You have got countries like North Korea, Burma, Zimbabwe, where you have state-sponsored brutality, and what we have from the council is deafening silence."

Anyone Wants Historic Footage ??

For as much as a DVD movie, $19.99, you can own a piece of history. Amazon has reached a deal with the National Archive and the first 6 DVD's are already being sold on Amazon. The avaliable footage will date from 1920 - 1967.

"While the public can come to our College Park, Md., research room to view films and even copy them at no charge, this new program will make our holdings much more accessible to millions of people who cannot travel to the Washington, DC area," Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein said in a statement.

The first six DVDs are already selling on Amazon.com, said Stacey Hurwitz, a spokeswoman for CustomFlix.

The newsreels include scenes of the famous 1959 "Kitchen Debate" between then-Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in a model American kitchen on display in Moscow. Other footage shows a youthful Fidel Castro after the communist revolution in Cuba, along with reports about Hawaii becoming a state.

WHY ??

This is a little of topic from what I usually post, but I found this video and could not pass up the opportunity.

Why doesn't the MSM show this ?? Why don't they show the good side of the troops instead of flooding their news broadcasts with negative stories of OUR troops ?? or when they are killed ?? Believe it or not folks, the Unites States military are full of good people, contrary to what the MSM projects them to be.

A Must Read

As I have mentioned before, The Moncada Attack: The Birth of the Cuban Revolution, is a great book for those who are not familiar with events of that day. Also, the book is great for those who heard the "official" version from the Cuban government. This book discredits a lot of the myths and lies behind that day.

The death of revolutionary combatant Abel Santamaría appears as a particularly grim chapter of official Cuban history, but a new book that took 31 years to research and write challenges the Cuban government's version of events.

Captured during the raid on the Moncada army barracks in Santiago de Cuba on July 26, 1953, Santamaría reportedly was tortured by the soldiers, who plucked out his eyes and showed them to his sister, Haydée, who also was captured during the failed attack.

Golpiza Provoca Muerte

Rafael Cecilio Pazca fue golpeado por dos agentes de la Policía Nacional Revolucionaria (PNR) que se hacen llamar Luna y Yiqui. Cuando va a parar los abusos de cubanos contra cubanos !! Va a llegar el dia cuando Cuba sea libre y la policia que golpeaba y mataba no va tener donde esconderse.

El pasado 3 de junio fue detenido y golpeado despiadadamente el ciudadano Rafael Cecilio Pazca, por dos agentes de la Policía Nacional Revolucionaria (PNR), que se hacen llamar Luna y Yiqui.

Pazca, de 31 años de edad, enfermo de SIDA, con serios trastornos de la personalidad y traumas psíquicos, se encontraba de paseo por las avenidas del reparto 26 de Julio en estado de embriaguez.

Los agentes que lo detuvieron se disponían a trasladarlo al hospital Mártires del “9 de Abril”, ubicado en Sagua la Grande, provincia Villa Clara, como es habitual en esas zonas. Pazca se disgustó ante la actitud de los agentes, y estos, luego de arrastrarlo y conducirlo hacia el carro patrullero, comenzaron a golpearlo.

I Can't See It

According to the Associated Press, they interviewed more than two dozen Cuban immigrants who recently arrived in Florida and they say that TV Marti can not be seen outside of Havana. Obviously, the Cuban government is still successfully jamming TV Marti's signal even though 10 months ago the U.S. started using a new Gulf Stream jet that was supposed to diminish the jamming capabilities of the Cuban government. Not the case. Get it fixed guys. This is costing U.S. taxpayers $20 million a year.

This caught my attention while reading the article:

But U.S. Reps. Bill Delahunt, D-Mass., Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., are pushing for hearings on the Marti stations for the fall, and congressional investigators began reviewing management of the Marti's last month.

The funny thing is that the "3 Puppeteers" mentioned above have all gone to Cuba. Yes, that's right, Delahunt, Rangel, and Flake have traveled to the Caribbean prison. Delahunt and Flake were part of the largest U.S. delegation from Congress to travel to Cuba since 1959. How bias will they idiots be when discussing TV Marti issues ?? Will they be castro's voice in Congress ??

Better Luck Next Time Jerk

House Rep. Charlie "Cara de Papa" Rangel proposed an amendment that was defeated today by a vote of 245-182. The amendment would have allowed Cuban officials to travel to the U.S. to inspect U.S. export facilities and products and let Cubans make direct payments to U.S. banks for any purchases. What the hell !! Is this guy serious ?? Rangel for years has been trying to lift the embargo and has been defeated every time. Let's not forget that Charles Rangel had his 2002 trip to Cuba subsidized by the Cuban government.

The House on Friday rejected an initiative to ease restrictions on U.S. agricultural exports to Cuba, virtually burying any chance that U.S. policy toward the island could be relaxed by Congress this year.

By a 245-182 margin, the House voted down an amendment presented by Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., that would have allowed Cuban officials to travel to the United States to inspect U.S. export facilities and products and let Cubans make direct payments to U.S. banks for any purchases.

The initiative would have also allowed the Cubans to pay for the goods after they are shipped from a U.S. port, rather than before as now required.

U.S Contacts Cuba ??

That is what ex-CIA analyst, Brian Lattell, told Radio France Internationale. He was informed by senior military sources that the U.S. has been in contact with Cuba for some time now. Very important news if true. I have always said that the U.S. has a secret relationship with Cuba. Ever since Kennedy, no other U.S. president has done anything. I guess they can not violate the secret agreement established between Kennedy and Krushkov during the Cold War.

We have caught Cuban spies in the U.S. and working in our government. I can only imagine what would happen if we find an Al-Qaeda or Taliban member spying within our goverment. Would it be considered an act of war ??Why hasn't something been done to liberate the 11 million Cuban prisoners stuck on the island ?? We have Cuba 90 miles from away, why hasn't something been done ??

Brian Latell, who wrote a biography of Cuba's interim leader Raul Castro, told Radio France Internationale he was informed by senior US military sources that they had been in contact with the Cuban military for some time.

"If this is confirmed to be true, it would be a very important event," he said.

Dr. SHITvago

Michael Moore, is Cuba's healthcare system really better than what the U.S. offers ?? When will you learn you idiot !! The article is great.

Excerpt:

To stem the tide of defections, the Cuban government has sought to keep doctors under constant guard. Cuban “minders,” most commonly police and intelligence agents, severely restrict doctors’ freedom of movement. Traveling outside of one‘s assigned area is strictly prohibited. In Venezuela, according to The Lancet, doctors are forbidden to engage in any personal contact with natives, let alone journalists or diplomats, and must adhere to a 6pm daily curfew. Those who complain about any aspect of the program open themselves up to threats of being sent back to Cuba -- itself a devastating commentary on the political state of the country. Beyond endless surveillance, there are reports that Cuban authorities select only married doctors for missions abroad. The idea is that should the doctors entertain the idea of defecting, their families in Cuba would serve as potential hostages.

NOTICIA DE ULTIMA HORA

El empresario Alemán, Ahmet Oner, admitio a un diario brasileño que fue el quien organizó la fuga de los dos boxeadores de Cuba que desertaron durante los Juegos Panamericanos de Río de Janeiro. Oner es promotor de los cuatro boxeadores cubanos que se refugiaron en Alemania.

"Fui yo quien lo organizó todo", aseguró el propietario de la empresa Arena Box Promotion en declaraciones publicadas el jueves por el diario Folha de Sao Paulo y en las que admitió haber pagado cerca de medio millón de dólares por la operación.

Oner, empresario alemán de origen turco, se refirió así a la deserción de los boxeadores Guillermo Rigondeaux y Erislandy Lara Santoya, que llegaron a Río de Janeiro para disputar los Panamericanos y desaparecieron de la Villa Panamericana sin dar explicaciones.

Politician or True Believer ??

Below is part of a transcript from the Hannity and Colmes show. I was reading through it and found an interesting part in which former speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, mentions fidel castro. Do the right words come out of his mouth because he is a politician or does he really get it ?? You decide !!

GINGRICH: I think Senator Obama is an authentic voice of the left. I think meeting with Fidel Castro makes perfect sense if you come from the American left because the American left fears the U.S. military. They fear the CIA. They fear the American government. They never fear our enemies. It would make perfect sense for him to openly announce he will visit with virtually any dictator in the planet who would be willing to have him.

COLMES: The American left never fears our enemies but fears the American government. I thought it was the conservatives, the Goldwater conservatives who spoke out against the government. It was Ronald Reagan who said one of the great lies is, "I'm from the government, I'm here to help you."

I thought it was conservatives to heard the government but to say those on the left don't fear our enemies and don't want to protect this country which is what you seem to be implying is just inaccurate.

GINGRICH: I just suggested that it made perfect sense for Senator Obama given his base of his support on the left to feel comfortable going to see Fidel Castro. There is this wonderfully romantic notion on the part of people who never look in Fidel's prisons, never look what he does to poets and never look at what he does to people in democracy. Never look at what happens with people who flee the country. My daughter lives in Key Biscayne and was telling me over the weekend that they routinely have people land from Cuba trying to flee terror.

It's just interesting that on the American left somehow Castro is a romantic.

Like a typical Liberal, Alan Colmes did not respond to Gingrich's last comment. He initiated a new topic - the war in Iraq.

Se cumple un año de la última aparición pública de Fidel Castro antes de ceder el poder por enfermedad

Hoy se cumple un año de la última aparición del líder cubano, Fidel Castro. Un año después de su retirada se mantiene la incógnita sobre si regresará al cargo que provisionalmente ejerce su hermano Raúl, quien no ha acometido reformas políticas ni económicas significativas.

Muy poco ha cambiado el día a día de los cubanos desde que vieron por última vez en público al «jefe de la revolución», en la conmemoración del 26 de julio de 2006, cinco días antes de que, en un hecho sin precedentes, delegara el poder temporalmente en su hermano menor por una enfermedad cuya naturaleza aún se desconoce.

Precisamente Raúl Castro será hoy, jueves, el gran protagonista de la conmemoración del 26 de julio, la más importante celebración de la revolución cubana. Más de 100.000 personas acudirán al acto convocado en Camagüey (unos 600 kilómetros al este de La Habana) en conmemoración del fallido asalto al cuartel Moncada (Santiago de Cuba), la primera acción armada de la guerrilla contra la dictadura de Fulgencio Batista, el 26 de julio de 1953.

Where is he ??

Today marks the one year anniversary that fidel castro was last seen in public in Cuba. He delivered the usual bullshit speech celebrating the ill-fated Moncada Barracks attack of 1953. Where is he ?? That is the million dollar question. All I have heard is that he will not appear today and deliver his usual 8 hour speech. Praise the lord !! This is the first time that castro will miss the 26th de Julio "celebrations. That's how bad he is doing. He would never have missed an event like this if he would have been fine as the official press in Cuba insists.

Tres boricuas llegan a las finales de boxeo.

Parece que McWilliams Arroyo le agarró la medida a los cubanos en el ring.

El mosca boricua dio otro batacazo el miércoles al derrotar en el segundo asalto al favorito cubano Yoandry Salinas en la división de los 51 kilos, para avanzar a la disputa del oro en esta división del boxeo de los Juegos Panamericanos.

Arroyo, quien aseguró al menos la medalla de plata, se enfrentará en la final ante el dominicano Juan Carlos Payano, quien vapuleó al mexicano Braulio Avila 20-4.

Arroyo estaba abajo 4-3 al tocar el campanazo del segundo asalto, pero sorprendió al cubano con un gancho de izquierda para enviarlo a la lona. El árbitro le hizo un breve conteo y decidió parar el combate. El cubano se quejó e hizo gestos de que quería seguir peleando.

Info From Cuba

The guys of Killcastro have some inside information from sources in Cuba in reagrds to the castro's and the appearance of fidel castro at tomorrow's 26 de Julio festivities.

Check it out here.

castro No-show

fidel castro is not going to give the annual "Revolution Day" address according to a communist newspaper in Cuba. The speech will be given by his sister, raul castro, who has been the interim dictator since July 31, 2006. This does not surprise me one bit.

For months now, we have been told by officials in Cuba that fidel castro will return to take command of his dictatorship. Not once has castro been seen in person or live on TV. He is only shown on taped footage which the government can manipulate and edit.

Raul Castro - not his convalescing 80-year-old brother Fidel - will give this week's Revolution Day address, the latest sign the defense minister's yearlong caretaker role is becoming much more permanent.

The announcement Wednesday on the front page of the Communist Party daily Granma doused the few remaining hopes among Fidel Castro's ardent supporters he could make a surprise appearance during Thursday's Revolution Day celebrations.

Even though Raul appears headed for permanent rule, the two brothers' longer-term roles officially remain undefined.

Let look back at other important days castro has missed since July 31, 2006:

1. His birthday - August 13 - I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he was still very ill.
2. Granma Landing - December 2 - His birthday celebration was moved to this date to also celebrate the Granma yacht landing in Cuba.
3. New Year's - January 1 - This date mark's the departure of Flugencio Batista from his reign over Cuba.
4. castro's Arrival In Havana - January 8 - On this date, castro and Co. rolled into Cuba to celebrate their "victory" over Batista.
5. May Day - May 1 - What better day to come out and make an appearance ?? There were almost a 100,000 Cubans in attendance and the international press present. If he is as "OK" as his government says, why not take the opportunity offered to him on May Day ??
6. 26 de Julio - July 26 - This day marks the anniversary of the ill-fated Moncada Barracks attack.

Folks, castro is not doing as good as his government says. He has had plenty of chances to show his mug and nothing. We all know that he loves to make an appearance and loves the attention on him. He is going downhill and it's just a matter of time !!

Pésima cobertura médica en Antilla

Por Dr. Darsi Ferrer
25 de julio de 2007

Sólo primeros auxilios fue la asistencia que le dieron los médicos a Jorge Luís Ochoa luego de sufrir un accidente al impactarse en su motocicleta contra un coche tirado por caballo el pasado 19 de junio en horas de la noche.

Llegó en extrema gravedad con varios traumatismos corporales y una herida en el tórax por la perforación con una de las barras de hierro del carruaje que amenazaba seriamente su vida y requería someterlo a una intervención quirúrgica.

Varias personas lo socorrieron y llevaron al instante para el cuerpo de guardia del hospitalito Ramón Pérez Latour, institución de salud de la localidad de Antilla, en la provincia Holguín, donde sucedió el lamentable suceso.

Los médicos de familia, privados de la asistencia de especialistas para asumir ese tipo de casos, lo recibieron y tomaron las medidas paliativas a su alcance, además, notificaron a la central de ambulancias en la cabecera provincial para el traslado urgente del paciente.

En Holguín confundieron la dirección y enviaron la ambulancia para Mayarí, otro municipio de la provincia y cuando retornó por el accidentado era tarde. A las pocas horas del infortunio Jorge Luís Ochoa murió sin alternativa para los galenos de hacer mucho por ayudarle.

Pérez Calixto tiene un grave padecimiento de la próstata, por lo que requiere atención medica urgente.

U.S. Medical School Not Good Enough For Some

It looks like medical schools in the U.S. are not that good for 8 students that just graduated from medical school in Cuba and another enrolled 100 who decided to attend medical school on the island instead of the U.S. The article states that their education was paid for by Cuba's communist government !! How many get their medical school paid for in Cuba ?? The student's held a press conference with communist Cuba supporter, Rev. Lucius Walker, leader of Pastors for Peace. Another example of the Cuban government deciding to take care of foreigners before taking care of their own.

La madre del reo agregó que los oficiales le dicen a su hijo que se esté tranquilo que muy pronto será trasladado a otro centro carcelario.

Estefangate

Well, well, well, Gloria Estefan and crew have done it again. Back in March, I alerted the guys at Babalu Blog that our "beloved" Gloria Estefan would be releasing her new album in September. It so happens that for the album, titled "90 Millas" (90 Miles - the distance between Cuba and the U.S.) she had invited Carlos "che lover" Santana to collaborate with her. At that point, I started a petition to protest her CD. As of last week, I had collected over 2,000 signatures from all over the world. Yes, the same Carlos Santana who arrived to the 2005 Oscars on the red carpet with a che guevara t-shirt on. He also sang on stage with Antonio Bandereas a song from the Motorcycle Diaries movie with his che guevara t-shirt on. Here's the proof:

It is not clear whether the Estefans sat down with their buddy and explained to him the atrocities that the butcher de La Cabaña committed while he was Cuba's chief executioner. My answer to that is: Who cares !! The point here is that the Estefans are fully aware of who che guevara is. They decided on their own to invite Santana knowing fully what he did on the red carpet of the 2005 Oscars. Or did they ?? Are they that disconnected with the outside world ??

A great error was committed in March by the Estefans and now we find out that the they have chosen the first single to be released from their album. It is the song that Santana is part of !! Not only did they slap us in the face with the addition of Santana, but now they slapped us again. I was insulted the first time and I continue to feel that way. We have been betrayed by one of our own !! When you think of Cuba, 3 names quickly pop into your head: 1) Celia Cruz 2) Willy Chirino and 3) Gloria Estefan. Gloria and Emilio Estefan have really let down the Cuban community with all of this. They have not come out in public and tried to fix this. Yes, they released a press release, but it was garbage and weak.

They should be ashamed of themselves for the way they have treated their fans and fellow Cubans. It was very insensitive the way they have handled all of this. If only they would have taken the time to actually think all of this through and think of the repercussions that could come out of all of this. That is what get's me so upset. They know better. They lived it. They breathed it. They escaped it !! Because of people like che guevara she fled Cuba as a 16 month old baby !! Her dad fought in the Bay of Pigs !! And now she is going to collaborate with someone who idolizes the guy who murdered hundreds of her brother's and sister's. SHAME ON YOU, Gloria and Emilio Estefan !!

Let me make something very clear. I am in NO way implying that Gloria nor Emilio Estefan are communist.

Here is part of a verse in Gloria's song - No Llores:

Si del amor mucho se aprende
Se aprende mas de los errores

Really ?? I don't think so. You have shown us that you have not learned a damn thing from your mistakes !! You slapped us once, and now you slap us again. Trust me, I am not getting slapped a third time. I am done with you and your music !!

"El Cirujano"

Humberto "El Cirujano" Fontova has scaple in hand and is ready to cut open Michael Moore's documentary "SICKO". Fontova writes an excellent article in which he clarifies everything for those who were fooled by Moore's garbage.

"We cannot, for a second, abandon propaganda" wrote Castro in a letter to a revolutionary colleague in 1954. "Propaganda is vital — propaganda is the heart of all struggles."

Michael Moore claims that Cuba's Stalinist regime played it as straight with him during the filming of Sicko as he plays it with its viewers.

"I asked them to give us [the 9/11 workers featured in the documentary] the same care they give their own Cuban citizens," he assured us "No more, no less. And that's what they did."

How stupid can you be ?? You go to a country in which the only government is a dictatorship and tell them to give you the same treatment they would give a citizen of their's and expect nothing less. You are either naive or ignorant !!

Pulitzer Prize in the near future ??

Here's another edition of the Phantom Writer. This time the old bastard is accussing United States dollars of being the respondsible party for the recent escape of two world class boxers from Cuba's team at the Pan Am Games in Brazil. Do you blame them ?? They say the opportunity to escape "HELL" and they took it. It's kind off easy to blame the U.S. everytime something goes wrong in Cuba or in this case with an athelte of theirs. What's next, it is the United States imposed embargo's fault why Cuba's economy is in shambles ?? Wait, we have been down that road already. Next !!

You Would Do What ??

Is Obama really the right guy ?? I don't think and after tonight's comment many of you will say the same thing. During tonight's Democratic presidential debate in South Carolina, presidential hopeful, Barack Hussein Obama, was asked:

"Would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries?"

Obama responds:

"I would, and the reason is this: the notion that somehow not talking to countries is somehow punishing them, which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration, is ridiculous.''

His reasoning for his comment was that Ronald Regan and former Democratic presidents had conversations with the Soviet Union during the "Evil Empire" days.

This is the comment that gets me:

"And I think it is a disgrace that we have not spoken to them.''

Really? Mr. Obama, Would you have sat down with Hitler and reasoned with him? Stalin? Pol Pot? I think you are a disgrace.

As much as I dislike Hillary Clinton, she did have her head screwed on correctly tonight when she said:

"I will not promise to meet with the leaders of these countries during my first year. I don't want to be used for propaganda purposes and don't want to make a situation even worse, but I certainly agree that we need to get back to diplomacy, which has been turned into a bad word by this administration.''

The key phrase is: "used for propaganda purposes." That is what Obama will be used for if he ever makes a trip to Cuba.

As my sister's e-mail phrase says: "No to Obama, Osama, and Chelsea's Mama"

27 Cubans Land on Sanibel Island -UPDATED !!

Welcome !! Twenty seven fellow Cuban brother's and sister's landed on Sanibel Island (north of Naples) just after 9:40pm this Sunday night. It is not known initially the ages or sexes of the 27, but it was reported that one child was among the group. They were processed at the Sanibel Police Department and then transported to Krome Detention Center in Miami. Stay tuned for more info.

For the fourth time in 18 months, a large group of Cuban migrants landed on Sanibel Island. A group of 27 migrants landed near Bowman's Beach on Sanibel
Island

Sanibel Police Chief William Tomlinson confirmed that 27 Cubans landed about half a mile east of Bowman’s Beach on the southern side of the island on Sunday night. One child was among the group.

Everyone appears to be healthy, Tomlinson said.“We had the medics check them out, and there were no serious health problems,” he said. But the problem of migrants landing on the island is starting to get serious, Tomlinson said.

Mini-Me Learns From Fossil-Me

It seems like Hugo Chavez has taken another page out of his daddy's "Communist for Dummies" book. This time he says he will not tolerate any foreigners criticizing his government while in Venezuela. If so, they will be expelled. He has ordered his officials to monitor all comments and statement made by international figures while in Venezuela.

How long are we going to allow a person — from any country in the world — to come to our own house to say there's a dictatorship here, that the president is a tyrant, and nobody does anything about it?" Chavez asked during his weekly television and radio program.

The Venezuelan leader's statements came after Manuel Espino, the president of Mexico's conservative ruling party, criticized Chavez during a recent pro democracy forum in Caracas.

Hypocrisy at its finest !! You can come to OUR country and criticize OUR President, but now you don't like it if an international figure comes into your country and says the TRUTH about you !! What's next ?? Are you going to cry for MOMMY ?? Bastard !!

Another Anti-che Supporter

Cassandra Wilson from The Australian, writes a great article on exactly what the title says "The bitter truth about che Guevara." We need more columnists like her who are not blinded by the che euphoria. There are too many people out there who don't really know what che did because they are not personally connected, but they just wear the shirts and all the other garbage because it's "COOL". If there were more people like Wilson, Jay Nordlinger, and our great anti-che author, Humberto Fontova, the myth would have been crushed years ago.

Excerpt:

"Executions?" Guevara told the UN General Assembly in 1964. "We execute! And we will continue executing as long as it is necessary."

The digest may also include the fact that Cuban women had three months' maternity leave before the revolution but not after. Cuba had more female university graduates than the US before the revolution but not after. Cubans had the eight-hour day before the revolution but not after. For all those sensibly upset about Australia's lack of compassion for refugees, I would urge them to consider that before Guevara's revolution, Cuba accepted more immigrants per head of population than the US. Indeed, more Americans moved to Cuba than Cubansmoved to the US. Fontova makes the point that actor Angelina Jolie, a UN ambassador for refugees, has a tattoo of Guevara, a man who helped generate a refugee crisis that continues to this day. Sharks off the coast of Florida continue to be pleased with Guevara's revolution.

Desertan Dos Boxeadores Cubanos

Guillermo Rigondeaux


Erislandy Lara

Dos boxeadores cubano de clase mundiales han desertado de su equipo en los Juegos Panamericanos en Río de Janiero. Guillermo Rigondeaux, 26, y Erislandy Lara, 24, no comparecieron esta mañana en el pesaje para los combates programados para la tarde de hoy. Rigondeaux, tenia esperanza de renovar su titulo panamericano del 2003. Tambien en el año 2000 y 2004 fue medallista de oro Olímpico. Rigondeaux no ha perdido una lucha desde año 1999. Lara, no tan popular como Rigondeaux, pero fue considerado unos de los favoritos en los Juegos Pamamericanos, fue el campeón mundial en el 2005.

Con un boxeo técnico y depurado, Rigondeaux es un hombre récord. Sus cadenas de triunfos consecutivos parecen interminables. Sólo Agassi Mamedov logró en el mundial de Tailandia de julio de 2003 cortarle una racha de 142 triunfos seguidos, pero después inició otro de 104 que duró hasta hoy.

El pasado viernes, después de sumar dicho éxito ante el puertorriqueño Miguel Marrero, dijo que su objetivo personal y del equipo era "dar a Cuba el máximo de medallas, ojalá todos".

Chavez the Great ?

Evil Chavez says his socialism system is going to respect property and also welcome foreign investors according to the latest article from Bloomberg. What a great guy, right? NOT !! He also says that the newly inaugurated printing facility will serve as a "revolutionary printing press" making 20 million books a year. Thanks again you bastard !!

This is the funniest part of the article:

Chavez said he recently asked counterparts Fidel Castro in Cuba, Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua and Alyaksandr Lukashenko in Belarus, to outline flaws in their own nation's past versions of the philosophy, so Venezuela can avoid similar mistakes.

It's too late you dumb ass !! You have followed the exact same footsteps as your "daddy". Don't deviate now.

Wait, with the comment above, is Chavez addmitting that Cuba has flaws in their philosophy? Things that make you go, HMMMMMMM !!

Fin De Semana Articulo

Lean el articulo muy bien escrito por José Ignacio Rivero de Diario Las Americas. Aqui esta parte del articulo:

El 22 de abril de 1960 tres periodistas veteranos informadores sobre la revolución cubana en los Estados Unidos se mostraron en un radical desacuerdo sobre la cuestión de si Fidel Castro había caído bajo la dominación comunista. El debate tuvo lugar en la asamblea anual de la Sociedad Norteamericana de Editores de periódicos, cuyo huésped de honor en el año 1959 había sido el propio Castro. Los participantes en el debate fueron Jules Dubois, del Chicago Tribune, Herbert Matthews, del New York Times y Joseph Alsop, del The New York Herald-Tribune.

“Castro se ha convertido en un demagogo sediento de poder, --no se había convertido, ya lo era, decimos nosotros-- atacado por algo que parece la monomanía de Adolfo Hitler. Acorralado por sus propios errores, ha permitido que los comunistas se adueñen del terreno en Cuba y la conviertan en una base de operaciones subversivas en toda la América Latina”.

A Urgent Message From Gorki

Here is the message:

Parece que los comunistas estan cerrando el cerco mucho más, el día 18 me han citado a la estacion de Zapata y C para una supuesta entrevista, alli me mostraron una acusacion oficial hecha por la Asociacion Hermanos Saiz, por las ultimas manifestaciones que hice publicamente en contra de ellos, esto segun ellos es un delito de incitacion a la violencia en lugares publicos, es obvio que quieren buscar un pretexto para de nuevo meterme preso, pero esta vez lo estan haciendo de una manera mas intimidatoria, ahora mismo temo por mi libertad..."

Lying Jerk

It seems that a Reuters reporter isn't part of the crowd "acclaiming" Michael Moore's latest garbage, SICKO. He was able to dig through the pile of crap Moore's new documentary presented and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Although I do not agree with some parts of the article, there are some good parts in there.

In the article the reporter writes:

But the hospital where SICKO's patients were treated is an exception in Cuba, where patients of many other hospitals complain they have to take their own sheets and food.

The building with a majestic high-ceiling lobby was meant to be Cuba's central bank when it was started by U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Completed years after Castro's revolution, it was turned into Cuba's top hospital.

The 750-bed Hermanos Almejeiras is Cuba's main hospital for heart and liver transplants with a staff of 500 doctors and 800 nurses.

You are absolutely correct. Many Cubans have to take a lot of the essentials when they go to Cuban hospitals or clinics. In the U.S. there is no need for that. Everything is already there. Not many Cubans can attend the hospital where Moore took the workers to get treated.

Here's a picture of the hospital:


Pretty nice, right? Too bad not all the hospitals in Cuba, if any, look like this.

This is where Michael Moore should have taken his workers to get treated. He would have seen the health care system "heralded around the world" as one of the best. This is what free health care - The Real Cuba.

Also in the article:

Cuban health officials say they have given priority to preventing disease by renovating a network of 498 neighborhood health centers across the island that bring health care closer to people's homes.

I have one word for the Cuban health official - DUNGUE !!!!

The U.S. baseball team playing in the Pan Am Games is ready to forefiet the gold medal to Cuba after Thursday championship game was postponed. The U.S. team sites a prior contract with China to playa 5 games series in Mobile. Alabama staring July 22. Screw China !!

Excerpt:

“The field has to be fit for play and if there is any more rain that won’t happen,” Campbell told Reuters. “Our flight is leaving at 6:20 pm on Friday and we have no option but to be on it because we have a contract to play China on July 22nd.

“Our national team is in the midst of a 57-day tour and this is a very important part of it.

“It would be wonderful to play for the gold medal but we have to get out on a safe field to do that.”

Throwing Money Around

News like this bothers me. I am aware that there were two movies of the butcher de La Cabaña scheduled to be released next year. What I did not know is these two movies combined have a budget of $70 million. Also, Spanish partners have contributed 25% of the total budget. It's nice to see that our "Mother Country" has our back........way back. Thanks.

The part that bothers me the most is that Andy Garcia spent 16 years with the vision of the movie in his heart. None of the big movie companies wanted to back the movie financially. He produced, directed, and starred in his own movie. Now for two movies about the life of the assassin, an easy $70 million can be pulled together. All Gracia needed was $9 million for his "dream" to become reality.

What An Idiot

The boss of Imperial Tabacco, Gareth Davies, is going to travel to Cuba after the announcement yesterday that his company made an offer to aquire Altadis. The reason for the trip is to secure Cuban government support for the deal. Why does he need support from the Cuban government, you may ask? Here's the clincher: The Cuban government can exercise a change of control clause that it has over Corporacion Habaneros in Cuba. Altadis operates the 50/50 joint venture in Cuba. Davies hopes the Cuban government will support the aquisition.

Don't count on it you idiot !! You will loss your half !!

SKYPE

A great blogger, Tomas Estrada Palma, no not the 1st President of Cuba, but his great-grandson, introduced me to this. The program is called SKYPE. I was able to speak to Tomas yesterday for the 1st time using my microphone. Great networking tool. You can communicate with anyone in the world via chat, including Cuba. It could also be used to dial landlines. There are charges associated with the more technical things, but chatting is FREE. Try it out !!

The Tale Of Two Massacres

This is a very interesting article from Guillermo I. Martinez, columnist of the Sun Sentinel. In this article he talks about two massacres in Cuba's history that occurred 27 and 14 years ago respectively, the massacre of the innocents on the vessel "Rio Canimar" and the "13 de Marzo" vessel. Both of these events occurred in July and the 11 million prisoners living in Cuba were not notified of the tragic events. Bodies of the deceased were never returned to their families for proper burials. He mentions that it took years for the international press to find out about 1st event and by the time they did, it was not newsworthy anymore. Massacres

Much like the old philosophical question, if the world's mainstream media does not cover a story, did it really occur?

Yes, but convincing people of its veracity is not simple. Tales of the Soviet Gulags, or the Nazi concentration camps were not immediately reported by the media. Only now, decades later, do we understand the inhumanity that for years had gone unreported.

Cuba celebrates — and I use the word sarcastically — two similar events; not comparable by a long shot in magnitude to those hidden by Soviet and Nazi propagandists, but despicable and inhumane in their own right.

Univision Mobile Is Selling A Murderer's Face

It seems like the "Cantinflas re-run" champions, Univision that is, has done it again. Back on 9/14/2006, Babalu Blog posted about che guevara's image being sold on Univision Movil: Orgullo Latino. Although Univision never took it off, now they have new 6 images of the butcher de La Cabaña for sale, all for the cheap price of $2.00 each. Not only Corporate America is doing it, but now Hispanic companies also !! What bothers me is the lack of sensitivity been shown towards Cubans and what they have suffered for almost half a century. No where in Univision Movil (Mobile) do you see them selling Hitler's face, Stalin's face, Saddam Hussein's face, etc. They would not dare do that. The reason many profit from che guevara's image is because many feel he was a "revolutionary hero". What they don't know or do not care to acknowledge is that he was a murderer and a incompetent coward. Again, it all stems from the lack of sensitivity towards the Cuba cause. That will change "One Company At A Time !!" I have listed below the contact information for the appropiate parties who need to be contacted.

Keep Watching Satellite TV

It's seems like the Phantom Writer is at it again. This time he complains that Cuba's performance in the Pan American Games has "engrossed" him to the point that "he forgets to eat and take his medicine." Keep up the good work Cuba. You have the full support of the "Miami Mafia." He goes on to say, "Sometimes I forget the hour of some meal, or a pill." Music to my ears to hear those words come out of his mouth. In the article he also mentions that he can not take his eyes off the television set. Great, he has the right mentality !! The more Pan AM Games he watches on his satelliteTV, the more pills and meals he will miss. Why can't the Pan Am Games be every week ?? WHY !!

In the article, it is mentions that senior Cuban officials have said that castro is recovering well, BUT no longer insist he will resume full governance of the country. I find that very interesting because they (Cuban government) have done almost a 360 from their original comments. Before everyone had hope that the bearded bastard will return. Now it's more like a "I don't think so."

From Castro's Maw

INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Posted 7/16/2007

Hypocrisy: When a billionaire dictator denounces cab drivers for making a little money and calls that "self-criticism," there's no doubt he's out of touch. But Cuba's Castro still gets away with it.

Mainstream media didn't make much of Fidel Castro's written diatribe a week ago against Cuba's poor. But he had plenty to say in the "self-criticism" that was directed not at himself, but at a scraggly, semi-legal Cuban private sector that he says makes too much money.
