In these speeches, Cruz sometimes admits — with disbelief — that he once supported Fidel Castro’s revolution. “I started speaking at different rotary clubs around Austin, Texas — in favor of Castro! I still thought he was the savior of the country,” he told FreedomWorks, a conservative group, in 2013.
Local news articles and documents from the late 1950s offer a clearer picture of the days of Cruz as a young man, then a believer in the revolution and a visible college activist.
On Jan. 8, 1959, Fidel Castro rode victoriously into Havana. The country’s dictator, Batista, had fled a week earlier. The next day, Rafael Cruz spoke to the Daily Texan, the student newspaper at UT-Austin.
“The July 26 movement was started not by the lower classes but the cultured people of Cuba. People like lawyers, businessmen, men of education. And you know the Communists like to prey on the downtrodden,” said Cruz, conversing freely in his native Spanish.
The July 26 movement is the name of the movement led by Castro that overthrow Batista. The name comes from an attack on the Santiago de Cuba army barracks on July 26, 1953.

I hope the Cruz supporters read you link. The place where it says that Eleanor becomes a Canadian citizen in 1969, on year before Teddy was born, makes both parents not U.S. citizens. Wow!

Its clear to me that unless Cruz is properly vetted, he should not be the nominee. There are way too many open questions about him and his family background. The Clinton machine will dig up every bit dirty laundry on Cruz. He will not be able seal his records with the democrats and Hilary.
Yes - from the government of Canada's website-
Canadian Citizenship Act [January 1, 1947]
(.... last sentence>>) In general, Canadian citizens who acquired citizenship of another country automatically lost Canadian citizenship (dual citizenship was not recognized).
This wasn't changed until 1977.
Just think, if Cruz won the presidency, he’d be:
1. The first POTUS born outside the United States
2. The first Cuban POTUS - first Canadian POTUS
3. The first POTUS whose father fought for Communist revolutionaries
Cruz has yet to tell Americans:
<><> what role does he plan for his preacher father in the US govt?
<><> what govt job does he plan to give his G/S globalist lawyer wife?
<><> how will Goldman Sachs factor into the US govt if Ted was at the helm?
==========================================
Recall that St Ted said we were inferior low-info voters who couldn't possible understand the global challenges ahead. BTW, Ted and Heidi Cruz/s economic libertarianism dovetails nicely w/ globalist Goldman/Sachs---who financed Ted into office. G/S is Heidi's $700,000 a year employer.
“Cruz’s perfect family - Ted snorted cocaine, and talks about it.

This is at 1:33 of the 5 minute video.
He must have been afraid this would come out, so he puts it out there buried in all the family videos.

I’m scared of all the other first this man will do.
The first President of the North American Union.
Spot on. It's a shame more don't realize or recognize it.
What I can’t figure out is why this cocaine use hasn’t made more news.
Do you know where the original video is of him saying this?
I know he did a bunch of family out-takes that he posted, but I don’t know where the originals are.
I really only heard about the cocaine use in the last week. Why hasn’t he been vetted on cocaine use?
Thanks for the post; ping; and very interesting thread. BTTT!

Why didn’t a lot of the Clinton dirt make the news, bought off protection....
Who paved Cruz’s way into Princeton & Harvard? Scholarships? Foreign student status? Why hasn’t Ted been whining about cost or student loans?
Has there been an invisible hand behind Ted due to his father’s past?
Examine his father’s origins, there are some questions as to how he got here and who paid? Does Rafael mention his family left to suffer in Cuba once he was safely here in the US? Aside from the heavy Cuban accent, he does not speak of Cuban memories like the rest of his generation. He was clearly on the wrong side of freedom and his IQ is at odds with his story.
Rafael B. Cruz’s path is a very odd one.
1) Multiple Aliases for his surname. Ordinarily, Cubans revere their Spanish heritage family name forever.
2) Teenager Cruz of Cuba. A kid applies & gets immediate acceptance to a US University? Who pays the tuition, room & board?
3) Cruz arrives knowing only Spanish (Cuban style), Yet he digests university level courses in English? Graduates in 4yrs?
4) Cruz’s Cuban family. There’s little talk about the family left behind. Very uncharacteristic of Cuban refugees.
5) Texas, not Miami? The Cuban community sticks together like glue. In the late 50’s, all Cubans fled to Florida -Miami, Orlando, Tampa. A few went to New Jersey. A Cuban teenager alone in Texas is quite the anomaly.
6) Canada, not Texas? Oil exploration was centered right underneath Cruz’s feet, in Texas, and the American SouthWest. Cruz left for other reasons. (Draft evasion-bigamy-other)
7) Rafael’s Career was Math-Geology-Oil/Gas seismic programming. He drops that career in Texas and became an itinerant Evangelical Dominionist Preacher.

never heard hat expression. Whats it mean?
Ted is an addictive person.
Ted Cruz Comes Clean: He’s a Secret Video Game Addict
The senator is known as a Tea Party firebrand. What he’s not known as is a hidden geek who can’t get enough of “Candy Crush.” He tells The Daily Beast why he can’t have a console.
Long before Ted Cruz became a senator from Texas, he was a gamer. He’s known for being pugilistic on the Senate floor, but sometimes he’d rather be fighting cartoon zombies on his iPhone.
It’s an uncommon lens through which to view Cruz, a controversial conservative figure who is now running for the highest political office in the country. Cruz’s video game habit fits into a largely hidden geek persona that lurks just behind his better-known public reputation as an obstinate Tea Party firebrand.
At the moment, Cruz is playing “Plants vs. Zombies,” a game where users collect sunlight points to feed plants who fight off waves of zombies; “Candy Crush,” the puzzle game where he claims he’s in the 217th level; and “The Creeps!,” a tower defense game.
Your points are excellent.
The old man has told lie after lie about his importance in the fighting/revolution. Rafael Cruz lied about being with or near Frank Pais when the movement leader was fighting 400 miles away in Santiago. Cruz and his father are both BS artists. Rafael Cruz senior might have protested in a march, but; he never did any fighting period. He damn sure knew Castro was Commie and he lied about that earlier. The truth is out.
The National Enquirer ties Rafael Cruz to Lee Harvey Oswald. They use still photos from the 1963 video below. It’s a good possibility that the guy helping Oswald hand out pamphlets is Cruz. Cruz was also in New Orleans in the 60s, but we don’t know his timeline, yet.
August 16, 1963 - Lee Harvey Oswald passing out Fair Play for Cuba leaflets in New Orleans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1F_G5ku7KM
But it makes sense that he might know Oswald since both were pro-Castro. It is possible by this time he was anti-Castro working for the CIA. He says he became disillusioned after he went back to Cuba when Castro took over. Bush was evidently also working for the CIA. Bush supposedly is mentioned in a file on the assassination. Bush denied working for them and was co-founder of the Zapata Offshore Company. When Cruz went to Calgary, he & his wife started a seismic-data processing company for oil drillers. (Zapata connection?)
But you raise some interesting questions on his student status when he first came to this country. How did a non-English speaking Cuban get through college in four years? Why was he accepted? And how did he pay?
