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.
Hopefully you’re right this time!
I won’t waste any time pretending humanitarian feelings for that murderous thug.
Good riddance; the world will be a better place without him.
Katie Couric will not take this well...Nor will Dan Blather
I don’t think he is dead??? What is the latest?
If such events developed I would tend to agree with your point of view.
Its as if some sort of secret promise was made (by JFK) back in October 1962 (Cuban Missile Crisis) to protect the governnment in Cuba.
He is dead. It’s a matter of when there’s an official announcement. He died around the 15th of August. He’s now on ice...but he is dead!!!!
Probably why they're not likely telling the truth about his likely death.
lol!
Sorry, but until they show the corpse, no one has any real proof he’s dead. He’s likely dying, suffering abd rightly so. But there’s no proof than people’s assumptions and guesswork.
Rest assured. That is ~precisely~ what the mobilization is for. :-(
>>Arthur, King of the Britons.
King of the whaat?
King Arthur: You fight with the strength of many men, Sir Knight.
[the Black Knight doesn’t respond]
King Arthur: I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
[No response]
King Arthur: I seek the bravest and the finest knights in the land who will join me in my court at Camelot.
[No response]
King Arthur: You have proved yourself worthy. Will you join me?
[No response]
King Arthur: You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy!
[Attempts to get around the Black Knight]
Black Knight: None shall pass.
King Arthur: What?
Black Knight: None shall pass!
King Arthur: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight. But I must cross this bridge.
Black Knight: Then you shall die.
King Arthur: I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside!
Black Knight: I move for no man.
King Arthur: So be it!
[They fight until Arthur cuts off Black Knight’s left arm]
King Arthur: Now, stand aside, worthy adversary!
Black Knight: ‘Tis but a scratch!
King Arthur: A scratch? Your arm’s off!
Black Knight: No, it isn’t!
King Arthur: Well, what’s that then?
King Arthur: I’ve had worse.
King Arthur: You liar!
Black Knight: Come on, you pansy!
[They fight again. Arthur cuts off the Knight’s right arm]
King Arthur: Victory is mine!
[Kneels to pray]
King Arthur: We thank thee, Lord, that in thy mercy -
[Cut off by the Knight kicking him]
Black Knight: Come on, then.
King Arthur: What?
Black Knight: Have at you!
King Arthur: You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine!
Black Knight: Oh, had enough, eh?
King Arthur: Look, you stupid b*****d. You’ve got no arms left!
He’s just doing his Yassir Arafat immitation. He will take a few practice kicks at the bucket before he puts it between the goal posts.
>>King Arthur: I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
Well, I didn’t vote for you.
It’s only a flesh wound, come back here again and I’ll bite your kneecaps off!
Hey girl! Your joint is gonna be jumpin at the news, ain't it?
Heh, well, we knew him ‘when’, back in our hometown. I sent the link to the website to my sister and our cousin, who were in his class in high school.
Knowing the content of the film, I’d assume he’s showing a US waiting room, and folks having died, waiting for health care.
