The persistence of rumors. (Indications that Castro near death)
Babalu ^ | July 14, 2006 | Val Prieto

We're going on day four of the latest fidel castro is dead rumors. Here are a couple more uncorroborated reports and speculations:

- Hugo Chavez supposedly took an "urgent flight" to Cuba yesterday afternoon along with other high ranking Cuban officials. Details or news accounts of same unavailable.

- Granma once again published articles profiling Raul Castro, heir apparent to the dictator throne.

- WHPC reports that there is much action in Cuba at the moment, with reports from Granma stating that workers are "waging a fierce battle" in attempts to have construction and other related project complete for a huge July 26 island wide celebration. WHPC also speculates that said projects and celebration and construction may be some kind of secret preparations for an elaborate state funeral for the bearded dictator.

- Ive also received unconfirmed reports that castro may not be dead, but suffering from Parkinsons or Alzeimers and not in control of his mental faculties. (natch)

- Several sources have emailed stating that they have been unable to communicate with family and loved ones on the island for several days. Other sources have emailed saying they have been in communication with family in Cuba but have heard nothing of the rumors.

- I personally have yet to hear from certain sources in Cuba via email.

- There have been no reports from local news media regarding the rumors to my knowledge.

Unfortunately, that's all I have that I feel I can publish at the moment without helping perpetuate the rumors. As I've said all along, we have but to wait until July 26 for verification. Should fidel not appear on his holiday, chances are he is either at death's door or begging Satan not to make him recite the Pledge of Allegiance of the US in perpetuity for all eternity.

Stay tuned.

The Cuban Commie Press is running big articles about Eternal Second Banana Raul Castro, with no comments on the health or whereabouts of Fidel, who has vanished from the scene.

I believe the evidence point to Fidel being on deaths door, and not a second too soon.

Oh, and here is one of the endless photos of the alcoholic degenerate Raul Castro from today's Cuban press. Nice hat, Generalissimo.

Castro can't die until Hell gets its next shipment of coal.

Maybe they can stuff him and put him on display in a
Havana McDonalds someday.

That's not news. Castro hasn't been in control of his mental faculties for about 50 years.

I rarely speak ill of those knocking on death's door, but I'll make an exception for the commie crackpot Castro. May the devil do whatever he wants with Castro... very soon. The people of Cuba will be better for it.

He wont die. He has had relatives reaching the 100's. We have to take him out just like Saddam. Im hoping that Bush does a quickie topple on the way out of the White House ala Greneda. He would leave office with a bang.

The sick thing about Cas-hole dying will be the endless tributes and months of mourning by the MSM and Hollywood elites. Endless storys of his "triumphs", Bay of pigs, the Revolution bla bla bla..

Well the good thing is Hollywood will go nuts looking for another coke connection.


"Actor Jack Nicholson told Daily Variety, following his three-hour 1998 meeting in Cuba that, 'He [Castro] is a genius. We spoke about everything.'

*SNORT*

"Model Naomi Campbell declared that Castro was 'a source of inspiration to the world.'

*SNORT*

"'I'm so nervous and flustered because I can't believe I have met him. He said that seeing us in person was very spiritual,' Campbell recounted of her 1999 visit to Cuba with fellow model Kate Moss, according to the Toronto Star."

*SNORT* *SNORT*

Castro is most likely getting the best medical care available from China and Russia. That means "donated" organs taken from political prisoners and stem cell therapy. He may even have cloned himself to extract major body parts. A few months ago, I saw a report saying the Castro would live to age 150. Of course I could be wrong. Check my FR page. 'Nuff said.

Actually, with the current state of the middle east his passing might not get all the coverage he would have been expecting. Too bad, so sad. (NOT)

At Fidel's age, "near death" is just stating the obvious.
