Lorenzo Enrique Copello Castillo, Jorge Luis Martínez Isaac, Bárbaro Leodán Sevilla García "Murdered by firing squad April 11, 2003 for trying to "hijack" a Castroite ferry to Key West.
"Highjack?"... Well, how the HELL ELSE is a Cuban supposed to get hold of a 'freakin boat in Castro's Cuba, where owning one is a crime? BTW, [...]

"Pedro Diaz-Lanz is a shameless fraud. Castro is in fact a strong ANTI-Communist!" (Herbert Matthews)
From his fully glass-built house, disgraced former New York Times Senior Editor Howell Raines recently hurled bricks at Fox News for --get this!--"disinformation!"
"But as Diaz-Lanz warned, when outing Communists, their denial is only half the story. The truth-teller must also be [...]

As pre-pubescent intransigents me and the pandilla I hung with were all major Popeye fans. So Val's "I will gladly pay you Tuesday.." always SLAYS me!...Then I run across the above sign...!!!
(Alas, Shirley didn't get it. Instead, at my convulsions, she threatened to summon the men in the white coats and have them [...]

Our friends at the invaluable La Nueva Cuba inform us that:
Venezuelan sources report that during all of today an important "conclave" of the nation's most powerful Military leaders was held in Fuerte Tiuna. This emergnecy meeting resulted from the grave crisis caused by demands from the Cuban Military Mission in Venezuela. The Venezuelan [...]

"Zapata-Tamayo was not a political prisoner. He was a common criminal. A genuine political prisoner goes on a hunger strike to seek his freedom. But Zapata simply wanted a TV set, telephone and kitchen..he should have been treated by psychiatrists!"
Aleida Guevara oinking while visiting Brazil yesterday.
"Judicial evidence is an archaic bourgeois detail. We execute [...]

From Las Damas de Blanco:
"Anyone who tries to excuse what happens in Cuba by saying, "repression exists in all parts of the world" in our view, is an idiot using a vulgar justification for the Cuban regime. Such cosmetic use [...]

Our friend Jamie Glazov of Frontpage Magazine (a refugee from Communism himself) wrote an excellent article about his family's travails and heroism under Bolshevism that should resonate with many Cubans:
"During this time, a friend of our family’s told my dad that, under vicious harassment by the KGB (they had discovered an affair she was having [...]

From the Castro-sanctioned AP just today:
"unless Cuban President Raul Castro's government agrees to release 26 ailing political prisoners."
"the Caribbean island has been ruled by brothers Fidel and Raul Castro since they ousted dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959"
Not that it started yesterday. In fact, from 57-59 the AP's "news" dispatches from New York were authored in [...]

More unspeakable Batistianismo here.
Hard to say? But I got all these e-mail treats, and many more, in response to this unspeakble Batistianismo.

But...but..but it's simply about THE MUSIC! About PEACE! About LOVE!---Politics has NOTHING to do with our (Juanes) Concert!"...
Remember that monotonous little song from this summer?....
Well, now the swine Bose oinks the truth..(which is to say what all intransigents and "hate-mongers" knew and said all along--indeed from the 'freakin instant that concert was announced!)
Recalling the concert [...]

From this AP article:
(New Orleans Major) Nagin raised eyebrows during the trip when he said Cuba's authoritative regime did a better job than the U.S. of identifying the needs of its citizens there.
Websters defines authoritative as: "Of acknowledged accuracy or excellence; highly reliable."
So you wanna think the AP meant "authoritarian"--which woulda STILL been wrong! Castro's [...]

Upon viewing Glenn Beck's Revolutionary Holocaust a few weeks back, Musician/composer Steve Pichan got mad as hell and decided he wasn't gonna take (Che idolatry) any more! So he composed this great song, aimed at Che's moronic idolaters. Have a listen.
Our friend Agustin Blazquez will use this song as the sound score for his [...]

"President Raul Castro said he regretted the man's death but denied he was tortured and blamed problems on the island on Washington's 48-year trade embargo." reports the AP
"Former Chilean dictator Pinochet dies at 91" reported this same AP three years ago.
"Britain has defended its arrest of former Chilean dictator, Augusto Pinochet...." AP 1998
And on..and [...]

Our friend Maria Werlau, explains that it didn't begin with Zapata's martyrdom--and probably will not end with it.
The recent death by hunger strike of Orlando Zapata Tamayo is not a first-time event in Cuba. Sadly, we have records of another 12 political prisoners who died in hunger strikes during the Castro regime. More such deaths [...]

Spring is upon us, amigos--which means 'huntins over and back to fishing...!

"She-ZAM! But dem fellers sure is SHARP!"
The AP (who earned a Havana Bureau) has recently consulted one such EXPERT, and here comes his penetrating and devastating insight....so: STAND-BACK!..GRAB-A-HANDLE!--HOLD YOUR BREATH!!! Here it COMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :::
"Dan Erikson, author of "The Cuba Wars: Fidel Castro, the United States, and the Next Revolution," said: Gross' detention has complicated [...]

“I have been affiliated with the Cuban Council of Churches since the 1980s,” boasted Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a sermon on July 16, 2006. "I have several close Cuban friends who work with the Cuba Council of Churches and you have heard me preach about our affiliation and the Black Theology Project’s trips to Cuba. [...]

A bill signed into law in December by President Michelle Bachelet that created the National Institute for Human Rights also established an advisory commission to certify victims of forced disappearance, politically-motivated murder or imprisonment and torture under the Pinochet dictatorship.
Perhaps I missed them? But did anyone notice any of the following terms anywhere in that [...]

"Forty per cent of Americans say the embargo of Cuba should remain, while 36 per cent want it eliminated, and almost half affirm they would never visit the island even if permitted. All this according to a BBC/Harris released Tuesday."
Entire staggering thing in Spanish here.
Has anyone out there ever read or heard --or even heard [...]
