My cellphone has not stopped ringing for the past ten minutes. Various sources inform that an announcement will come within the next few minutes from the Cuban government on Cuban TV and media. Stay tuned and we'll see if we've been manipulated once again or if today is the birth date of Cuba's liberty.
Update: Here's the deal and what I know up to now, as of 1500 hours, August 24, 2007:
First, South Florida Law Enforcement is on alert. An EOC (Emergency Operations Center) has been set-up and manned somewhere in Homestead.
Im also told Local and State government agencies have food, bottled water, and other necessities - valued in the millions - stored and/or staged in Homestead at or near the EOC.
I am presently verifying whether Coast Guard and DHS and Border Patrol agencies are on high alert. (Verified 01445)
Local News stations are abuzz, mostly on reports very much like the above, with massive law enforcemnt mobilizations throughout Dade county.
Local emergency medical services notified to be on alert by law enforcement agencies.
Im told - and still awaiting confirmation - that buses in Havana have been recalled to terminals and that Cuban workers have been sent home. (still unconfirmed 1500)
Again, I am loathe to publish the title as I did in this post, but I would be remiss in not telling you all what I know, right now. All of my sources are good but the Cuban government, as we all know, is masterful at controlling media and information and we should not rule out that this and last Friday's "news" have been and are feelers to see what the reactions are here, as well as who reacts within the island. If we've been duped we've been duped. If not, then bust out the champagne.
Once again, these may all be rumor to discredit us and other media sources. All we can do is exactly what we've been doing for quite some time now: wait and see.
More from Killcastro, with sources from within Cuba.
I'll enjoy my Montecristo, but with an Elijah Craig.
Wonder when he actually died?

I understand the sentiment. But it's just a personal thing with me, a fine line between cheering a death and cheering the good things that will happen because of it.
Where is Baghdad Bob to give us his assurance that Castro has not assumed room temperature? If Jimmy Carter is packing his funeral going clothes we will know for sure.
“Stay tuned and we’ll see if we’ve been manipulated once again or if today is the birth date of Cuba’s liberty.”
This guy’s in la la land if he thinks Castro’s death alone will liberate Cuba.
yes, but it’s speculation, not fact.
Wonder when he actually died?
yes, I know. I saw he had it up a few minutes ago. He also reported the same thing last week.
It’s okay. I didn’t mean I literally jump out and cheer, but inside, I’m very, very, very happy and relieved.
LOL
That first picture is so funny. lol.
Those being?
As far as I can tell, with his brother running the show. Nothing will change. Not a damn thing.
The righteous rejoice when the wicked are punished.
22 They will be herded together
like prisoners bound in a dungeon;
they will be shut up in prison
and be punished [a] after many days.
“Kim” Jong Il?
Fidel castro is still dead.
Me, too! Perhaps they'll be a little more accessible in the not-too-distant future, so this one will be a little more special. Enjoy!
