From Marti Noticias:
Cuban dissident Oscar Elias Biscet is now in Miami, on his way back to Cuba from a brief visit to Europe.
English-language news media have yet to cover this story, as of 11:30 a.m. Chances are no English-language news media will cover it at all.
More of the same. Biscet is not “cool”… and he doesn’t even own a 1950’s American car.
Anyway, when asked about the Normalization Circus, Biscet had this to say:
“No one should give credence to a murdering totalitarian regime.”
When asked about the purpose of his visit, Biscet responded:
“I have come here to talk about human rights in Cuba, about how they are violated, about how there is a murdering tyrant in power who is greeted by many as if he were not a dictator.”
He also had this to say about Cuba’s political future: “The Cuban people are waking up, they’re thinking, and with all that thinking the end of the dictatorship will come soon.”
If the usual black American suspects aren’t interested, and they’re not, why would the rest of the lot bite on this? If Biscet had been a South African in the apartheid era, he would have been whisked straight to the White House upon arrival. Alas, he is only a bad Negro, and being against “normalization” means automatic disqualification anyway. Even that great patriot, Emilio Estefan, didn’t risk it, assuming he even considered doing so. Remember, whatever is sufficiently off script will be ignored, dismissed or condemned.
Amen asombra.
Biscet is a true hero.
I don’t understand why they allowed him to leave Cuba. And I wish his visit here could have more publicity so that they couldn’t harm him when he returns.
