Cuban President Fidel Castro delivers a speech during a political rally in July 2006. A high-ranking Cuban official lashed out at the notion that President Fidel Castro or his acting stand-in, Raul Castro, should appear in public, and insisted there was no power void.(AFP/File/Miguel Rojo)

Maybe Fidel shared his fears with Hugo Chavez, and that is why he has been doing some Globe Trotting, to kind of Step into the Shoes of Fidel Castro Russ

And have we seen Raul lately? Surely there is much maneuvering going on in the hierarchy at the moment. Heads are rolling now and men try to watch their backs against their most trusted aides and allies.

Cubans were told in a statement attributed to Castro that most details of his health death would be kept "a state secret" to prevent the island's enemies from taking advantage of his condition.

There...... I fixed an error in the posting.

The Cuban's dictator's health is a "state secret." What have they got to hide from their own people? If he was alive and well, surely they'd want to let every one know, if only for the propaganda. So this secretiveness makes no sense whatsoever, unless in fact Fidel is dead and the Communist elite has no idea how to spread the news to the Cuban people and the world.

We got pictures of Ronald Reagan in the hospital after he was shot. No picutres of the great and glorious Fidel after his surgery. It smells.

"The Cuban's dictator's health is a "state secret." What have they got to hide from their own people?"

What all of this suggests to me is that the Castro regime doesn't feel secure in its control of the island and the populace. They know that most of the Cuban people hate them and would hang them from the nearest street lamp (if there are any still standing.) They are trying to secure their position right now.
