Counting Castro's Victims

"On May 27, [1966,] 166 Cubans -- civilians and members of the military -- were executed and submitted to medical procedures of blood extraction of an average of seven pints per person. This blood is sold to Communist Vietnam at a rate of $50 per pint with the dual purpose of obtaining hard currency and contributing to the Vietcong Communist aggression.

"A pint of blood is equivalent to half a liter. Extracting this amount of blood from a person sentenced to death produces cerebral anemia and a state of unconsciousness and paralysis. Once the blood is extracted, the person is taken by two militiamen on a stretcher to the location where the execution takes place."

[snip] Cuban reconciliation won't come easy, even if Fidel's ruthless, money-grubbing little brother Raul is somehow pushed aside. One painful step in the process will require facing the truth of all that has gone on in the name of social justice. As the report cited above shows, it is bound to be a gruesome tale.

[snip] (The Cuba Archive project) has already begun the heavy lifting by attempting to document the loss of life attributable to revolutionary zealotry. The project, based in Chatham, N.J., covers the period from May 1952 -- when the constitutional government fell to Gen. Fulgencio Batista -- to the present. It has so far verified the names of 9,240 victims of the Castro regime and the circumstances of their deaths.

Hollywood loves Castro!

from CNN Thursday, January 8, 2004

"Spielberg went down there recently and said, 'The best seven hours I ever spent was actually with Fidel Castro.' Now, what I want to ask him, ... 'Would you consider building a little annex on the Holocaust museum, or at least across the street, to honor the dead Cubans that Castro killed.' That's very presumptuous of him to go there," Duvall told Charlie Rose, according to excerpts of the interview released by CBS.

The actor, who won an Academy Award for his role in the 1983 film "Tender Mercies," added, "I'll never work at DreamWorks again, but I don't care about working there anyway."

It has so far verified the names of 9,240 victims of the Castro regime and the circumstances of their deaths.

That's kind of a small number considering how long Castro has been in power. I mean Pol Pot killed over 2 million people in a span of a few years.

BTW, I wonder what their definition of a "victim of the Castro Regime" is?

We will dance on his grave.

Good for Mr. Duvall!

And remember good old Dan Dather and Jimmy Carter sucking up to Castro. They both LOVE communist dictator/murderers.

[RoadTest]

Janet Reno is a fellow slimebug of Castro's. Ahab & Hitlery played ball wih him at the Gonzales' expense. Devils all, destined for Hell from whence they crawled.
