Paris Hilton, a National Humanitarian Medal recipient, is visiting Cuba and based on her Instragram photos, and Tweets she’s having a great time.

She was was presented with American Humane Association’s prestigious award, the National Humanitarian Medal, for her support of a wide range of worthy causes and organizations benefiting the most vulnerable. Apparently her concerns are for the most vulnerable animals, and not humans. At least not the 11 million Cubans enslaved in Cuba right in front her tourist eyes, as I can find no mention of her interacting with Cuban people ready and waiting to benefit from her tourist fairy dust and dollars.
“I’m an animal activist. Many people say that I’m a hypocrite, because I eat burgers and stuff like that but I won’t wear fur. But I’m not a hypocrite. I just only wear fake fur. ” – Paris Hilton

If Paris were any more plastic, she’d be a department store mannequin. I don’t expect she cares about the former “Habana Hilton,” the largest and tallest hotel in Latin America when it opened in 1958 (with Conrad Hilton in attendance), which was nationalized (read stolen) by Castro, Inc. It was operated by the Hilton hotel chain but actually owned by a Cuban labor union (a real one), which intended to use it as a revenue source for its members’ pension plan. Of course, who needs unions, pensions or anything else when the “revolution” is such a great provider? Anyhow, it was renamed “Habana Libre” in typical Orwellian fashion, since Havana hasn’t been “libre” since Fidel came to power. I’d be curious to know if Paris stayed there during her Havana visit, but it seems more likely she’d stay at the now trendier Saratoga hotel, where the Z couple stayed, not to mention Pelosi and company. It wouldn’t especially surprise me if Paris doesn’t even know about this history.
The former Hilton hotel in Havana continues to enrich the crowd that stole it, along with their partners in crime. Since 1996, the hotel has been managed by the Spanish Sol Meliá hotel chain, which no decent Cuban should patronize anywhere on earth.
