Commentary by Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill)

In Cuba, if you’re a tourist with U.S. dollars, you get great health care.
And if you’re a high ranking government official, you also get great health.
But if you’re just an average Cuban citizen, you get the kind of health care that’s in these photographs.
All of these photographs are from the internet archive of the website therealcuba.com. The reason I’m using the internet archive is because the account at the original website “has been suspended.” I don’t know the reason for the suspension.
Source for all photos: https://web.archive.org/web/20100404025459/http://therealcuba.com/Page10.htm
The caption for the above photo says, “Floors full of excrements, bare mattresses, terrible food and even worse medical attention.”
Comment from Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill): The above photo shows one of Cuba’s environmentally friendly green ambulances, which does not burn any fossil fuel.
The caption for the above photo says, “Gentiuno reporters counted 27 dead roaches on the floor.”
The caption for the next four photographs below states:
These photos were taken at Havana’s psychiatric hospital, known as Mazorra, in early January of this year and taken out of the island by people who risked their lives to show the world what really is happening in Castro’s Cuba.
These are several of the more than 40 patients who died of hypothermia at the hospital, when temperatures near freezing hit the area where Mazorra is located.
These patients died because of the negligence of those in charge of this hospital, and after they died, hospital officials threw them on a table, one on top of the other, like bags of garbage at the local dumpster.
This is the fantastic healthcare that Cubans receive, according to Michael Moore and other useful idiots.
Patients are treated worse than animals. It is the cruelty of that brutal regime that has been oppressing the Cuban people for more than 51 years, while the dictator murdering and oppressing Cubans is referred to as “president,” and embraced by Latin American leaders who were democratically elected.
Many show marks that indicate that patients were beaten before they died.
The caption for the above photo says, “Yes, those black marks are flies.”
H.G. No tease and he appears to have posted the entire article with photos, something you always "encourage" posters to do. Expanded your definition of clickbait?
Grundle. I think this would look good on D/U! (For at least as long as it take for the Mods to see it!)
It would take a few decades of socialism, but I am certain that when the money runs out we would be able to catch up with Cuba! >/sarc!<
Hope you both have a good day!
Claiming "Bernie doesn't want you to see" is disingenuous and stupid.
How does some no-name blogger know if Bernie is even aware of the pictures?
It's a lie meant to grab attention, basic blogcrap strategy.
“Claiming “Bernie doesn’t want you to see” is disingenuous and stupid.”
The point of every article headline and title is to grab your attention somehow. I don’t see the “Stupid” part, but OK, I understand your objection to “Bernie doesn’t want...”.
So, H.G., what title would you use for this article?
"Some Pictures I Googled Up For My Blog To Get Attention"
That would be a lot more realistic.
There we go!
An H.G. revised title that would STILL allow H.G. to complain about the post!
Hey, bro, can I get a link to your most significant, informative post that contributed something worthwhile to the forum? Bitching about what someone else posted doesn’t count.
Hit me.
