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.
That's not true. Everyone knows that Elvis lives in Tweed, Ontario, as proven by The Elvis Sighting Society based at Moe's Newport restaurant in Ottawa, Ontario.

LOL!
What would make the news perfect is if the Cuban people grabbed him and hung him like Ceaucescu, or Mussolini, or Hussein.
Rumor. No police are mobilizing in Cuba,......radio station is saying this is a rumor. (Death might be near)
And even then, his brother is not all that young either, he too could be on his last legs.
It’s in breaking news. How much bumping does this thread need?
:-)
ROFLMAO!!!! Good one Bruce. ;o)
Back in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s I was close friends with a Cuban American family. I even dated one of their daughters for a time. In the back of their liquor cabinet there were 2 old bottles of rum made before Castro came to power sealed with wax. A distant cousin of theirs owned a distrillery that was confiscated by the commies. They said they will only open those bottles when they ahve confirmed news of Castro’s death. They intend to throw a party for it. I might want to look them up. I would love a shot of it.
Thank you for that. I like the word “rejoice.”
How could I forget that little creep? Yepper, if he should go, I will rejoice in that day as well. How painful to think of all those innocents suffering because of his evil.
C’mon! You don’t actually believe that drivel, do you? If anybody were to body-double for Fidel they would try to copy him in every detail, no? Why leave ‘clues’?
Francisico Franco is still dead.
Mike
exactly... i remember my dad told me Castro was dead... he told me this about 30 years ago...
Let Hugo put his entire army ashore, then throw a naval blockade around the place & bag the whole lot of them.
I fear this is another hoax but am keeping my fingers crossed.
Knowing death is imminent, I wouldn’t put it past the commies to release this false information in an effort to gauge the populations reaction. ie-cracking down on those celebrating.
That Cuban blogger is probably in shackles by now. I pray for him/her.
“...Does this mean we can have Miami back now?...”
That’s something I’ve been wondering about for a long time. When Castro goes to meet Satan, will those Cubans living here and have said they’d go back after FC is gone, actually keep their word? Some might. The others have gotten so used to life here in the BIG WELFARE CHECK, they’ll never leave. I do hope this rumor is true, this time. Let the mass exodus back to Cuber begin.
