The first thing that caught my eye in today’s Cuba news feed is a speculative article about Hillary Clinton traveling to Cuba to help gain the release of Alan Gross. You can bet this rumor is just a tickler put out to ensure that when the actual event takes place it will have the correct “buzz,” and you know the MSM will make certain that it does. So there you have it folks, the final act in this years big con.
One thing about the old cadaver, he’s possibly the best grifter ever. Why he’s got his victims working overtime to hand over the cash. I know it’s a given that con men can always count on greed to help them along, but this is, as Humberto would say “unbelievable.”
The team: Ortega and the Catholic Church, the Spanish Government, the U.S. Government, the official so-called Cuba Experts, and the MSM.
The pawns: 54 Cuban “dissidents”, the official political prisoners, and Alan Gross.
The mark: The U.S., and the European Union.
The job: An end to U.S. trade sanctions and billions of dollars to castro inc.
Collateral damage: The Cuban people, and the suffering is incalculable as they face a future of brutal enslavement without even the appearance of an ally.
The grifter’s only adversary, the marginalized Cuban exiles; they exposed the con at each step of the game, and predicted the payoff, but I doubt they have the power to stop it.
It’s a hell of a world we live in friends.
Expect the 5 spies to be “exchanged”. castro has been filling the press wth stories of them being abused. This was when they get released they do not lose face, but will play up the abuses they supposedly were victims of. Its so predictable its sickening.
Pototo, I left off the 5 spies because I’m uncertain if the administration has the power to do that. Last I checked we still have some semblance of a separate judiciary, but at this point nothing would surprise me. Also, I’m thinking the accusations may have been made simply to redirect the criticism away from the regime to a much easier target.
