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.

I gotta wonder why we’ve had so many trolls lately,,,
I’ve been watching this number :

No, bring them home.
12.6%

This has been going up while the other numbers on the side-bar poll have nearly stayed the same...

Makes me wonder who will “point” to FR’s “own” polls at
some point...

sadlere said, "I realize also that not being a native of Cuba I do not know for sure the circumstances of life, but from what I understand and I do know several people who came from Cuba as adults, so they lived there for long enough to see what was really going on."

Why wasn't s/he allowed to stay and at least become educated by other FReepers who have direct knowledge of life under Castro?

Instead, s/he is flamed and banished from debating on FR. IMO, this is what a child would do. No, I don't want to talk to you, go away, is essentially what the moderator said.

Letting emotions run the forum instead of logic isn't the best method of operations, IMO.

I hope that wasn’t Elian. He must be thoroughly brainwashed by now.

Could be that FR hasn’t had a new poll in about a month. All the members have voted already.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s what I was wondering,,,
I would think all the members voted in the first week,,,
That number has gone up 4-5% in the last week or so...

Thank you all for the replies, I am unplugged and was sure this was the real deal.
What a bummer. Even if he is in “Weekend at Bernies” mode, it denies us the celebration of the downfall of a tyrant.

Well, giving the mod the benefit of a doubt, perhaps it was written from the ip of a retread or provocateur. OTOH, if the poor creature was as naive as the post appeared, you would be one poster I’d enjoy watching educate him.

LOL! That’s great! I’ll have to send my younger sister and my cousin the link to the website! They’ll be interested in seeing their high school friend, made good!

Nope my sister’s name is Joanne, and my cousin is Marilyn, but we call her Merni. Webb will remember them because they were friends of his friend, Jimmy Daniels, who is the one who died too young.

Just remember that Raul is still there although Cubans I know tell me that Raul can EASILY be bought and made to do anything for cash.
I hope this is all true! I’ll call my buddy Eddie up as soon as it’s confirmed . He escaped Cuba in a raft and is now the BEST American patriot I’ve ever met.

Are all the preparations mentioned in Miami because they expect raucous celebration or something else?

Oh don’t worry . If it’s true the MSM will be giving heart breaking stories of the much loved scumbag Fidel. I can hear them now, slobbering all over him.

Don't the folks at the Puzzle Palace and Langley have a toy to confirm/deny this.

Gee, you'd think they post us a hint of the results of that toy on freeperland...
