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.

John Couey’s death sentence and news of Castro’s alleged death on the same day. Sounds like good news to me.

I’m lifting my glass of wine in honor of my brave and wonderful friends, Gladys and Luis, and all the other proud Cuban refugees who are up in Heaven with them!

Has Jimmuh Cahtah packed his bags and made reservations for Havanna yet? If true, he needs to get a move on.

I want several independent DNA confirmations before I start believing he’s really dead...

No, no, no... I saw footage of him waddling around in a Puma jumpsuit. You can’t fake that sort of thing.

I won’t believe the news till a major news agency or the govt confirms it. Otherwise it is rumor again.

Man, there is going to be some big street parties in Miami tonight if this holds true. I envy the locals who enjoy Cuban cuisine, they are in for a treat this weekend...

Our business has been BOOMING. I can barely keep up!

I’ve been working a lot of hours and frankly, when I get home, I don’t feel like getting online except to check my e-mail.

How’ve ya been?

Soon, perhaps, we’ll be able to get Havana Club rum in the U.S. It is superior to Bacardi.

Cuba's foreign minister said rumors about Fidel Castro's deteriorating health are untrue.

Felipe Perez Roque made the comments to reporters while attending the Forum for East Asia-Latin American Cooperation in Brazil.

Impossible, unless you’re running a soup kitchen.

If Castro is indeed dead, I want Guinness World Records to go to Fidel Castro's grave site.

It will have to be one the World's Largest Urinals.

Laura Ingraham was reading something a kid wrote (part of
that Kid Nation TV show, I think) praising Castro. This is
the crap the school systems are teaching them...thus
DUmmies and Daily KOoks will indeed be in mourning.
