For today’s Daily Double: “Who said it? Prominent Democrat or Cuban spy?”

Should this poor woman (Ana Belen Montes, above left) continue to suffer in prison for the “crime” of being a bit “ahead of the curve” on U.S. foreign policy? I mean, what’s a little military secret-sharing among friends? Her heart was clearly in the right place, Obama policy-wise. “She certainly meant well,” our president must think to himself.

Fascinating datum: Havana’s Museo de la Revolucion has a “Cretin’s Corner” where U.S. presidents are caricatured and villified. These “Cretins,” however, all turn out to be Republicans. Not a single Democratic president (not even John “Bay of Pigs and Missile Crisis” F. Kennedy is featured.)

In fact, historically the public declarations of prominent Democrats and the diary entries of convicted Castro spies have been remarkably similar. If this again sounds hyperbolic, let’s play a game I’ve titled, “Castro Spy or Prominent Democrat Jeopardy–Who Said It?” ….OK, let’s get started!

“Fidel has lifted the Cuban people out of the degrading and oppressive conditions which characterized pre-revolutionary Cuba. He has helped the Cubans to save their own souls. Cubans don’t need to try very hard to make the point that we [the U.S.] have been the exploiters.”

If you answered: “That’s from the diaries of convicted (in 2009) Cuban spy Walter Kendall Myers,” you are correct!

Next question:

“I believe that there is no country in the world including any and all the countries under colonial domination, where economic colonization, humiliation and exploitation were worse than in Cuba, in part owing to my country’s policies during the Batista regime…”

If you answered, “Gosh, that certainly sounds like a convicted Cuban spy…But I’m gonna say its Democratic president of the United States John F. Kennedy speaking to French Journalist Jean Daniel in November 1963.” Correct again!

  1. Note the racist Batista caricature, given very prominent lips (“bemba de negro”), which Batista did not have.

  2. Love the “Nazi Bush,” since one of Fidel’s most famous lines came straight from Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and the sign over his UMAP concentration camps for homosexuals read “Work will make men out of you,” an obvious echo of the “Work will make you free” sign over Nazi concentration camps.
