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.
To have a free CUBA!
What a wonderful dream. How I hope castro's death, if it has happened or if he has passed, does not bring more horror to these people.
But Mary, a blast of tourism will bring about an economic boon for the folks there. And how WONDERFUL it would be to have such a neighbor for our nation.
At any rate............UP YOURS, CHAVEZ...........looks like your buddy is about to face the final judge.
You say you want a rev-o-lution
Well, you know
Now is the time
Fidel castro is still dead. and still, nobody cares
heh heh yes he will
Tourism is fine, but it became a regular whorehouse back before Cuba was taken over.
Tourism is okay. That’s not what I was talking about. Cuba became some Americans’ whorehouse back in the old days. I remember it too well. I would hope it wouldn’t go back to that kind of tourism.
I think that 645 posts are ample demonstration that people do indeed care.
Well, I am too lazy to read the whole thread....is he dead or not! LOL!
No. Some believe he is, for some 10 days or so, but there’s no proof yet.
Sure got my hopes up! I will keep reading till the truth is completely known, then. Thanks for your response.
Castro’s got AIDS too?
For the love of or the hate of.... no sense of humor there big guy? (I hate Castro.. No diff to me)
Someone upthread said he got it from Arafart.
Cubans in Miami are celebrating big time...it’s not official but they know that Fidel is DEAD...and on ice.
OH NO!! I was just gonna go and join the Revolution and help in the harvest of ....uhhhhhh.....failure.....
This is like when Yasser Arafat was dead one day and still hanging on the next day. Ding dong, when will the witch be dead?
HA...the mass murderer is dead. Cubans are celebrating in Miami tonight. Big Time.
WOOOOHOOOO! Can we all start celebrating the death of a monster now!?
Coroner:
As Coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined him.
And he's not only merely dead, he's really most sincerely dead.
Mayor:
Then this is a day of Independence For all the Munchkins and their descendants.
