Cuba Libre – Someday

Fidel Castro is dead – but the dictatorship lives on.

For now.

Over at Bablublog – the foremost Cubablog for the past 13 years, now – Humberto Fontova notes a couple of the facts that the worst of our repulsive media, especially NPR, can’t quite:

In the above process he converted a highly-civilized nation with a higher standard of living than much of Europe and swamped with immigrants into a slum/sewer ravaged by tropical diseases and with the highest suicide rate in the Western hemisphere.Over TWENTY TIMES as many people (and counting) have died trying to escape Castro’s Cuba as died trying to escape East Germany. Yet prior to Castroism Cuba received more immigrants per-capita than almost any nation on earth—more than the U.S. did including during the Ellis Island years.

He helped train and fund practically every terror group on earth, from the Weathermen to Puerto Rico’s Macheteros, from Argentina’s Montoneros, to Colombia’s FARC, from the Black Panthers to the IRA and from the PLO to AL Fatah.

Would anyone guess any of this from reading the media today? Or from reading President Obama’s message of condolences to the terror-sponsoring Castro family?

Every item above thoroughly documented here.

More tomorrow on the American media and left’s repulsive performance over the weekend.

Oh, yeah – and Canadian Prime Minister McDreamy.

UPDATE: Or Green Party Prez candidate “Dr.” Jill Stein:

Fidel Castro was a symbol of the struggle for justice in the shadow of empire. Presente!

— Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 27, 2016

Please, “Doctor” Stein, I beg of you – run for president again.

El Jefe must have finally gotten tired of all that “winning”.

For some reason, the US could never get rid of the bastard. Invasions didn’t work, supporting the opposition (and it was large) didn’t work. Assasination attempts didn’t work. I am not defending the dictator, merely noting the irony. Castro was a nut case who hated and wanted to destroy everything I value.
Carlos Eire, PhD, fled Cuba with his parents in 1961. In the WaPo, he writes an opinion piece intended to expose Castro’s supporters to the reality of life under the New World’s version of Stalin: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/farewell-to-cubas-brutal-big-brother/2016/11/26/d369affe-0eeb-11e6-bfa1-4efa856caf2a_story.html?utm_term=.44c015f07346#comments

In the comments Eire is attacked by the usual crowd of useful idiots. They like Castro because Castro hated America, but don’t you dare question their patriotism!

Castro’s death has given BLM the sads:

From Fidel, we know that revolution is sparked by an idea, by radical imaginings, which sometimes take root first among just a few dozen people coming together in the mountains. It can be a tattered group of meager resources, like in Sierra Maestro in 1956 or St. Elmo Village in 2013.
Revolution is continuous and is won first in the hearts and minds of the people and is continually shaped and reshaped by the collective. No single revolutionary ever wins or even begins the revolution. The revolution begins only when the whole is fully bought in and committed to it. And it is never over.
Revolution transcends borders; the freedom of oppressed people and people of color is all bound up together wherever we are. In Cuba, South Africa, Palestine, Angola, Tanzania, Mozambique, Grenada, Venezuela, Haiti, African America, and North Dakota. We must not only root for each other but invest in each other’s struggles, lending our voices, bodies, and resources to liberation efforts which may seem distant from the immediacy of our daily existence.

One of the greatest mysteries in my life has been witnessing the absolute suspension of reason by many of my well educated peers, who since childhood have bought the party line about Cuba and Castro. The vaunted Cuban health care system is a classic potemkin village. An acquaintance of mine, sent by parents to the USA as a16 year old, returned to visit 50 years later. He related the story of his two cousins, both doctors in a rural village. They shared a single stethoscope. When a patient needed transport to a larger hospital, he had to wait until there were enough patients to fill the ambulance.

Stein and the progressives don’t just have blinders when it comes to Communists, they have massive willful ignorance and delusion. They cheer a system of surveillance that they would howl about here, they completely ignore what their economic idol does to a real economy, and they completely ignore the corrupting influence of power and what it does to civic life when their desired system of governance takes hold and the massive death toll that inevitably results. And all that just to celebrate some fictional alliance to an illusion of proletariat revolution. To say that they’re religious zealots devoted to the creed of progressive socialism/communism is particularly apt when you recall how the original Zealots behaved with respect to Judaism and the results of their blind inflexible intolerance.

I say send all the Communist cuddlers to Cuba with a one-way ticket on a Jet Blue flight. If the system there is so good they should be happy to go and leave us left here in the US alone.
