Castro's Cuba Nearing Collapse (Widespread Protests in the Streets!)

The Real Cuba ^ | 7/26/05 | Unknown Dissidents

For the first time in 46 years there was not going to be an outside mass rally to celebrate the 26 of July, the date in 1953 when Castro and a group of his followers attacked the Moncada barracks in Santiago de Cuba. And now the rumors have been officially confirmed. It seems that Castro is afraid to hold a mass rally under the present conditions in the island, where there have been many protests taking place during the last few days. He feels more secure inside a theatre, where no one can get in without an official invitation.

Record heat and power cuts of 12 hours or more a day led to scattered protests, vandalism and rare anti-Castro graffiti this summer, veteran human rights activist Elizardo Sanchez said. Authorities have responded by mobilising rapid deployment brigades of militant supporters to disperse pockets of protest with batons, he and other dissidents said. "I have not seen such widespread discontent in four decades," said Mr Sanchez, head of the Cuban Commission for Human Rights.

Jimmy Carter, where are you?

Your best friend is in trouble!

"NO ONE in the media is reporting on these historic developments."

Including our friends in Talk Radio! Where are they?

"Yet, on Sunday, Telesur, a new regional Latin American television network modeled after the wildly successful al-Jazeera makes its debut from studios in Caracas."

Can you imagine the towering rage Eisenhower would fly into if he were president today, and Condoleeza Rice told him that there was not a single American military or intelligence organization with the know-how or the nads to go in and take out Chavez?

Like Castro, Chavez keeps rallying the underclass by saying we're planning to invade Venezuela.

Will Media Benjamin take time off from protesting in front of Walter Reed with Code Pinko to go save Castro? She could pose with her El Jefe like Cuicieseu's wife posed with him for the Christmas video.

So many causes, so little wacko-nut-job minutes in the day.

Yeah, they really don't like to see communism lose; that's why they hated Reagan and can't shut up about his big spending. It's not that they don't love spending, it's that they can't abide spending that defeats communism or Islamofascism. Any totalitarianism is better to them than our own founding principles.

o damn, thats funny.

how come I always see these threads that Cuba or Iran will fall and nothing ever happens.

Your comments below are an excellent summary of the rats in my lifetime:

That could be called "Cafeteria dining, Cuban style".

[Fred Hayek]

Will Medea Benjamin go to the wall with El Jefe just like Elena went to the wall with Nicolae Ceaucescu?

Will Hugo Chavez be next?

amazing what the utterly corrupt US media refuses to show, is it not?

[CWOJackson]

Here's a ping for Luis Gonzales...hopefully it won't be long now.
