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.
Geez....those were good cars. Some Cubans are going to make small fortunes peddling them in the states.
Oh well, guess I’ll have to wait till morning to find out if it’s tru. Looks like everyone has gone to bed here . Maybe I should to. it’s 2:40am in NY City .
I guess that’s what passes for a new car in Havana!
One of these days he's gonna get it right.
> CUBA LIBRE!
If this is so, I wonder what our Prime Minister will say...
> Danny Glover to give the eulogy. Pall Bearers? Sean Penn, Micahel Moore, Alec Baldwin, someone help me...
Helen Clark?
Oliver Stone is deeply saddened.
That's creepy how Stone is smelling his fingers in that picture.
“It’ll be interesting to see how he is eulogized in the MSM, and by prominent Democrats (not to mention Hollywood stars.)”
That’s why it would happen today. Light media day. RAT comments will go mostlu ignored.
“Fidel Castro died in 1981, and was replaced by a look-alike CIA plant. “
Bush’s fault.
I don`t think he`s dead because Hillary and the rest of the libs aren`t crying uncontrollably.
That’s more promising information right there. :-)
Rumors are flying fast and furious, but there remains a mood of skepticism in the air since we were burned by the “Castro is dead” announcement last year.
No matter, I went and bought my fixins for mojitos and my family has the Cuba Libres ready to go as well.
*fingers crossed*
dead huh... does that mean Still or Again???
It is never too late! b4its2late
Good one.
If the guy that walked directly in front of him had anything to do with that trip, I bet he was pushing up daisies shortly thereafter.
Ping.
I have that on CD... alwasy been a little partial to that song. I think he also recorded “Suicide is Painless”.
It all started with the duping of Ed Sullivan of CBS.
I think we should all start talking about how to democratize Cuba and open it up to free markets as soon as the tyrant is dead. Let him die knowing that those who love freedom will do everything we can to free Cuba while he’s roasting in total and eternal isolation of hell.
