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.
Oh please, please, please, tell me that it was due to an exploding cigar....
Is he dead yet?
Betcha Ol’ Jimmuh will give the eulogy.
>I ain’t going against you in the sixshooter duel!<
>>LOL — it was loading those extra two question marks that did you in!<<
LOL! Love you guys! :)
Signs of the death of Fidel Castro
According to sources inside Cuba, the situation is very tense at the top level. Randy Alonso Falcon, has not hosted the daily TV program "Mesa Redonda" with their frequent guest from the MININT, for 3 days. The sources in Cuba reported that they are in disarray about the death of the tyrant. Raul Alarcon factions are struggling. Many high level officers are being detained. The Internet has been canceled in government departments, including the MININT. The telephones of high members of the apparatus has been disconnected. The Mesa Redonda is running in "automatic", showing documentaries without their host or guest. El noticiero is reading in its entirety Las reflexiones del coma-andante with an unusual mood.The Police is in "high alert" in Havana, especially in El Malecon under the "unprecedented" pretense of protecting the people from the prospects of high waves by hurricane Dean. Plans for intimidating dissidents groups not to appear publicly is underway.
The sources emphasize that certain elements in Miami are being "utilized" as "active measures" by Ramiro Valdez. The USA, as this elements proclaims, is not communicating with the "high power" in Cuba, is the other way around by some factions. The news that supposedly was coming from Cuba Friday, has been canceled. They are in the process of announcing it today or in the following days. I guess they have to tie any loose ends left. The beginning of the end.

>...I didn’t mean I literally jump out and cheer, but inside, I’m very, very, very happy and relieved.<
I won’t jump for joy until we hear who will take over in Cuba. Could be very bad news.
Yep
BUMP!
You know, Baba Wawa’s show has been in reruns all week. Perhaps she’s “vacationing” in Havana. Fidel is/was the love of her life.
If this is (finally) true, what are the odds that he will receive a glowing eulogy from some of the current Democrat presidential hopefuls?
Can the mafia finally put the casinos in now?
