Quote of the day

Cuban dictator Raul Castro on how his magnificent and generous “reforms” will take time and everyone should just back off so he can dictate in peace (via Café Fuerte – my translation):

“If you analyze the path we have taken you will notice that everything is moving at a good pace since the magnitude and the complexity of the problems we face do not allow us to resolve the issues from one day to the next. We have to resist the pressure from those who insist that we should be moving faster.”

  1. The saddest part is that Cuba “experts” will spin this as reasonable and acceptable. What the faux general and hereditary “president” means is that there will be no change from totalitarian rule, only enough tweaking to maintain it. In other words, same old dog, at best with a different collar. If hypocrisy wasn’t so entrenched and “normal” regarding Cuba, nobody would put up with this farce about “changes” from an illegitimate regime which routinely lies and systematically violates basic human rights and always has (as it must to survive). The Cuban dictatorship is an abomination, and it doesn’t need cosmetic surgery—it needs to be abolished and, insofar as feasible, be brought to justice for its countless crimes against millions of people. It is beyond grotesque and indescribably obscene that, after over half a century of totalitarian horror, anybody is still willing to cut Castro, Inc. any slack. If Cuba’s tragedy teaches anything, it is that much if not most of the world is FULL OF SHIT.

  2. Examples of international HIJEPUTEZ are a penny a dozen, but here’s one more: Spanish socialists (the PSOE), after disgracefully vilifying their countryman Carromero in connection with the deaths of Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero, refused to meet with Payá’s daughter in Spain, and were apparently quite rude and offensive about it, basically accusing her of trying to manipulate her father’s death for political ends. How these people can possibly expect any respect is beyond me, but that won’t stop them from huffing and puffing as if they were righteousness incarnate. And so it goes, ad nauseam, all over the damn planet. Seriously, if it were up to me and it could be pulled off, a free Cuba would reject and shun all enablers of Castro, Inc. who didn’t at least admit their guilt and formally apologize for it.

  3. The fraudulent bastard should be convicted for impersonating an officer, even if that’s the least of his crimes.

  4. asombra,

    Come to think off, that fraudulent bastard could have been a member of the Village People, lol…

    If only his brother would have let him…NOT…lol…

  5. The magnitude and complexity of Cuba’s problems have nothing to do with the regime who’s had absolute control of everything on the island for the last half century. Just in case anyone was wondering.
