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.

Heck, every liberal congressit and $inator are deeply saddened including two former presidents, Carter and the Clintoon. Blather will have to be locked up and given his meds by iv if Castro dies or there is a counter revolution.
Can we get anyone in the US media to confirm any of this? This should be headlined or Fox news Alert. Does anyone here in FR work for a major news outlet that could look in to this?
Can't be, Cuba is a paradise. Fidel told me so.
Thanks for the history lesson.
Pray for the same 10 step/day program in Cuba for Fidel and his monsters.

"Do you think Dan Rather can get down there in time to put it back together?"
Maybe Dan can fly down and go out in a blast of glory with his buddy Fidel. Maybe Jimmy Carter would like to join them with the publisher of the NY Slimes.
