President Obama might consider his policy of appeasement towards Cuba’s apartheid regime as Hope and Change, but for the island’s peaceful dissidents, the only thing they have seen since Obama surrendered to the apartheid Castro dictatorship is Choke and Pain. For the 13th consecutive Sunday, Castro State Security launched another wave of violent repression against non-violent dissidents and the Ladies in White, a peaceful group of wives, daughters, mothers, grandmothers, and sisters of political prisoners.
