The Communist Party organized multiple mass assemblies, including one apparently mimicking the practices of anti-regime protesters, throughout this week to honor the memory of dictator Fidel Castro on the five-year anniversary of his much-anticipated death.

Mandatory mourning for a murderous thug. Still in power because of JFK’s weakness.

I’m sure there are a few thousand Cuban elites who made out like bandits during the Castro regime who were sorry to see him go.

A total transformation of that society should be in the planning stages now with Trumps people doing the planning along with Marco Rubio’s people.

We will own it and leave out those that worked with the communists.
