Juanita Castro, sister to the now deceased Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, has no plans to go back to the island for her brother’s funeral.

Juanita, who is 83 and has been exiled in the United States since 1964, gave this statement to El Nuevo Herald Saturday.

“Before the bad rumors that I was going to Cuba for funerals, I want to clarify that I have never returned to the island, nor do I have plans to do so,” she said. “I have fought alongside this exile, arm and arm in the most active and intense stages in past decades, and I respect the feelings of each one.”

“I do not rejoice at the death of any human being, much less can I do it with someone with my blood and my surnames,” Juanita Castro said. “As a sister of Fidel, I am living at the moment of the loss of a human being who had my blood, just as happened at the time with the deaths of my brothers Ramon and Angelita.”

Have no fear Juanita. No doubt that the lyin' king will be there, probably with moochie and the girls, to honor your brother. No doubt there will be lots of world "leaders" there singing his praises like they did with nellie mandelli. Thankfully, DJT called it like it is.

The Pope also sent a warm letter of condolence at the death of an unrepentant atheist dictator.

Well Castro was socialist dictator and they have to honor their fallen comrades no matter how much the peasants suffered under them. The yardstick by which a socialist dictator is measured is by the people’s suffering. Its no wonder Obama felt a kinship with Castro.

never to curse... those God has sovereign set aside for a Divine Purpose.

Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Romans 9:22 
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

Everyone is a vessel of God's Devine purpose.

She also was active raising funds for an invasion of Cuba in the early 1970s for a group known as the Jose de la Torriende Plan. Mr. Torriende was a Miami resident and former CEO of Cuban Coca Cola with substantial interest in American Coca-Cola. He was shot to death through a screen in his living room as he watched a baseball game on TV.

I had the privilege as State Chairman of Young Americans for Freedom to share a stage at Hartford, Connecticut, with Juanita Castro and many Cuban Exile Leaders, a former Cuban Attorney General, Cuban Senators and cultural and political leaders who were by then all exiles. The Connecticut fundraisers were also held at New Haven and Bridgeport but Juanita Castro appeared only at Hartford. The theme was a Cuban invasion of Cuba leading to Castro being disposed of as Mussolini had been.

God bless you and yours!
