BREAKING: FIDEL CASTRO IS DEAD (Claims leading Cuban Blog)
Babalu ^ | 8-24-07 | Val Prieto

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.

Talking in general. But it’s possible his brother won’t have the charisma, ruthlessness and leadership skills necessary to hold onto his dictatorship. We wait. Communist dictatorships have been getting steadily fewer in number since the fall of the Wall.

yes, but it’s speculation, not fact.

I honestly believe that Castro has been dead for at least the last 6 months. They've got him on ice somewhere while they figure out how they are going to transition the government and hold off a counter revolution.

Once they figure out how to do that, they will defrost him and announce his unexpected death.

You heard it here first.

Two events will see people dancing in the streets of America.
1. When Castro is dead
2. When Osama is dead.

Is there a futures marketplace that offers bets on whether the state media will announce by a certain date, like Iowa Electronic Markets, Intrade.com, Newsfutures.com, that kind of thing?

They’d have to hold him back from throwing himself into Fidel’s grave!;)

monk, that is good stuff.

FAM, golly gee willikers, how did you manage to get a rumor on a Cuban blog on Breaking News without the mods clubbing you over the head like a baby seal?
