I feel unclean after reading this piece of blatant propaganda. I know the Latin American press ain't exactly a paragon of objectivity ('course, neither is the American press), but they're not even making the effort to disguise opinion as fact anymore.

Communists and Islamofascists are both socialists and enemies of freedom who hate capitalism and the West.

it deliberately tried to mislead its readers by allowing US government officials to discredit the Nation of Islam minister

No Calypso Louie is self-discrediting. He needs no help.

...he doesn´t mention, and the newspaper doesn´t recall, the more than a thousand who died unnecessarily.

Who died unnecessarily because they stayed in a city that was about to get hit with a Category 4 or 5 Hurricane instead of finding a way OUT depite being urged by the Gov to leave.

"Going to Cuba to learn about emergency management would be akin to going down there to learn about democracy,"

Of course Democrats hold Cuba on a pedastal because their great health care for everyone. I would suggest Democrats go to Cuba the next time they need medical treatment.

This so-called minister has no business violating our laws and acting as a "quasi-official" representative of our country in CUBA.

He should be arrested and charged appropriately for consorting with an unfriendly nation during a time of war.

The quality of Calypso Louie's rants:

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us of a giant Motherplane that is made like the universe, spheres within spheres. White people call them unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Ezekial, in the Old Testament, saw a wheel that looked like a cloud by day but a pillar of fire by night. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad said that that wheel was built on the island of Nippon, which is now called Japan, by some of the original scientists. It took 15 billion dollars in gold at that time to build it. It is made of the toughest steel. America does not yet know the composition of the steel used to make an instrument like it. It is a circular plane, and the Bible says that it never makes turns. Because of its circular nature it can stop and travel in all directions at speeds of thousands of miles per hour. He said there are 1,500 small wheels in this mother wheel which is a half mile by a half mile. This Mother Wheel is like a small human built planet. Each one of these small planes carry three bombs.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said these planes were used to set up mountains on the earth. […]

The white man writes in his above top secret memos o the UFOs. He sees them around his military installation like they are spying.

That Mother Wheel is a dreadful looking thing. White folks are making movies now to make these planes look like fiction, but it is based on something real. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that Mother Plane is so powerful that with sound reverberating in he atmosphere, just with a sound, she can crumble buildings.

"broadcast nationwide on Cuban TV and radio, something Black progressives could never have in the United States, even if they paid millions to try and buy the airtime."

Oh I don't know . . . it worked for Ross Perot.

Farrakhan and his delegation participated on the hour-and-a-half prime time Round Table, broadcast nationwide on Cuban TV and radio, something Black progressives could never have in the United States, even if they paid millions to try and buy the airtime.

In Cuba, TV prime time is devoted to whatever political propaganda the Government wants to advance.

In the U.S., I am sure that Farrakhan has appeared many times during prime time on C-Span. What these people are complaining about is that, in the U.S. during prime time, the people of America are given many other choices to watch besides only what Farrakhan wants them to watch.
