NICE!!
ROFL!
You won't, at least on the MSM. They've been building up Castro for so long, showing a free Cuba would reveal them as the liars they are.
I can only understand every 400th word. Estados unidos, Miami-Dade, Castro, Raul, Havana, aqui, lo mismo, solamente, el tiempo, y como toro, intestinal, Ninoska pro libertidad de Cuba, and then there is an elderly Anderson Cooper who is named "Redaccion." Oh, and there's the pretty lady again! She is also named "Redaccion."
When I first turned it on, I thought that meant "Correction" and they were showing old footage of Fidel with Pope John Paul ... I thought they were "taking back" an announcement of Fidel being in heaven with JP now, lol.
That, would be the DUmmy and HINO (Hoosier In Name Only) by the screen name of Indiana Green. I'll bet that he/she/it lives in/near Bloomington, home of Indiana University and the only place in the state (to my knowledge)with a Greens Party presence.
Everything I have ever read, and heard about Raoul suggests the opposite, to the point that Fidel has to often control him.
He is more of a hard liner then Fidel, and has consolidated his power base strongly.
He also, unlike his brother, takes a more "personal" route in torture and executions and runs the secret state machine with all the horror it encompasses.
He is a psycho, much like Husseins sons.
Cuban-Americans celebrate outside the Versailles restaurant Monday, July 31, 2006, in the 'Little Havana' section of Miami, after hearing the news about Fidel Castro's health. Cuban officials announced Castro had temporarily relinquished power to his brother Raul and undergone surgery for an intestinal illness. . (AP Photo/Alan Diaz)
My friend used to live all over Mexico and still keeps up with the different media sources she had. She told me 2-3 weeks ago that word was around that he had died. I didn't believe her b/c I assumed that if it was around, the mainstream media would pick up on it. Who knows??
Morris is being an optimist.
Raoul is more of a hard liner and a stronger believer in the marxist garbage then Fidel is.
And from his repuation and experience running the state machine, and his more hands on role, appears to have a "stronger stomach" then Fidel.
Take Fidel, make him more sadistic, more hands on cruel, lessen the ego, and multiply lack of respect for life and multiply the dedication to stalinist marxism, and you have Raoul.
Note: I don't like to celebrate anyone's death, but Fidel's death may mean freedom for millions (unlikely, but I hope).
Yep, he's in very poor health and has internal bleeding.
Photos like that are an MSM nightmare come true. I love it when a plan comes together.
Raul looks lots older than his older brother. He looks pretty sick himself.
O Great! We are getting bbq Pork next week. should I worry now? LMAO!
I hear what you are saying but I hope you are wrong. I think the MSM is not as powerful as they like to think they are. And those they influence with their garbage are weak minded and therefore weak willed as well.
There is a very large, passionate, patriotic Cuban exile community and their supporters across this country, and not only in So Florida, who have been waiting a long time for such a moment.
Perhaps I am naïve but I’ve always thought that with Castro’s death the cult of his personality dies with him and therefore the strangle hold on this nation that he’s too long enjoyed.
I think without him, there remains little will among the people to continue to live this way. The system will emplode and hopefully a better way will take hold.
This just in: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead!
The sad thing is that with his money and power, many do.
