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

Posted on 08/24/2007 12:31:34 PM PDT by FormerACLUmember

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.

Some of my favorite "good news" headlines from history:

"STALIN DIES, GOES TO HELL"

"HITLER DIES, GOES TO HELL"

"REAGAN EKES OUT LANDSLIDE WIN"

"BC: 'I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN!'

"GUS HALL DIES, GOES TO HELL"

And now Fidel.

Gee, what headline would be appropriate...?

I'm sure the NYT can come up with something.

Some kinda deal was made long ago in DC...that’s the only way Fidel got to stay the murdering dictator. When he’s dead all bets are off ... we’ll move to place a democracy in Cuba. Call it nation building or whatever you want...but it’ll happen. That’s why Fidel’s death has NOT been announced...but it’s already out so Raul needs to watch out...we’re a comin’

Isn't what the officer said when the destroyer reported firing on a Japanese minisub at the entrance to Pearl Harbor on December 6, 1941?

Well, yes, under slightly different circumstances...

Good work by those magnificent Cuban surgeons, keeping him alive all this time (well, perhaps fresh frozen.)

I’ve got a Cuban Montecristo in the humidor I’ve been looking for an excuse to smoke. This should do nicely.

I haven't been abroad in ten years and have been craving one of those the entire time!

If Castro is really dead post and let us savor the smoke vicariously!
