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

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.

Is no one doing anything because, this way, it is taking care of itself? That seems pretty inhumane. What gives?

If there is a major uprising expect it to be extremely bloody.
Castro is as nasty as and his government suppression apparatuses are as efficient as East Germany's circa 1955.

The democrats and their media don't give a rat's patootie about the Cuban people.

Thanks for the links. Just amazing, this is going on right in our back yard. What a shame. I hope this is true the Cubans win.
To: teenyelliott
I dunno . . .the site reporting this seems just a tad biased.
You think?
To: FormerACLUmember
The economic potential for Cuba could be incredible if freed from it's shackles.
Agriculturally, I think it could really take off.

Jimmy Carter? Impossible! How can you build a habitat humanity in a worker's paradise?? By definition, poverty and class warfare is at an end, and each has received according to his needs.
Amazing how little those workers need down there in Fidel country, heah?

They have the power, if only they will believe it. All is in shambles and it would only take one hard push by enough people and it would quickly be over. I hope you are right. Just guessing, but I would be a dollar the expat community is sitting on "go" when the time comes.

"See what Havana looks like now.
What was once one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Now crumbling to the stage of having to be leveled for safety."
None of this would have happened if the evil USA hadn't embargoed Cuba!

Conditions in Cuba are abominable, and Spielberg and Stone should acknowledge that fact.
