On or Off Cuba Ping.

Cuba's Tourism Ministry has issued a resolution telling its workers to keep their mingling with foreigners to a minimum, prohibiting everything from accepting personal gifts to attending events in the homes or embassies of foreigners without written permission.
The resolution went into effect last week. It applies to Cubans working in tourism on the island, as well as overseas. The action is the latest in a series of attempts by the government to further tighten state control on the island. Many visitors to Cuba bring small gifts such as clothing, stationery and toiletries for locals.
On or Off Cuba Ping.
Is this YOUR bar of soap?
Your passport please.
Could I be added to the Cuba ping list? Thanks.
Ping me por favor!
They don't want foreigners talking with the prisoners, because all the prisoners talk about it how much they hate the Regime and how they want it to fall...this is after they've asked you to help them get a visa...
Boy, those guys are getting uptight. What are they afraid of?
Next, Castro will dictate that all Cubans wear "ear plugs" so that they won't be able to hear the tourists.
Directions: Accept the tourists' money and quickly run away.
But, but, but...
All the liberals tell me Cuba is paradise!
But won't this put a dent in Fidel's prostition revenues?
Raul Castro ties blindfold on a prisoner ready for execution.
José Rodríguez confesses to a priest before being executed in Matanzas, Jan. 15, 1959.
Thats why they are moving there and giving up US citizenship right??
Thanks for the pics.
In His Name.
***..........Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world:
All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.
Democratic reformers facing repression, prison, or exile can know: America sees you for who you are: the future leaders of your free country.
The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it."
The leaders of governments with long habits of control need to know: To serve your people you must learn to trust them. Start on this journey of progress and justice, and America will walk at your side.
And all the allies of the United States can know: we honor your friendship, we rely on your counsel, and we depend on your help. Division among free nations is a primary goal of freedom's enemies. The concerted effort of free nations to promote democracy is a prelude to our enemies' defeat. ...***
