From Cuba’s Communisty party paper today:
“During their meeting the Pope thanked comrade Fidel Castro for his contributions to world peace in a world saturated with hate and aggression.“
“What?!” Khrushchev gasped on Oct. 28th 1962, as recalled by his son Sergei. “Is he (Fidel Castro) proposing that we start a nuclear war?! That we launch missiles from Cuba?!”
“Apparently.”
“Yesterday the Cubans shot down a plane (U-2 with) without (Soviet) permission. Today they’re preparing a nuclear attack!”
“But that is INSANE!..Remove them (our missiles) as soon as possible! Before it’s too late. Before something terrible happens!” commanded the Soviet premier.
“Of course I knew the missiles were nuclear- armed,” responded Fidel Castro to Robert McNamara during a meeting in 1992. “That’s precisely why I urged Khrushchev to launch them. And of course Cuba would have been utterly destroyed in the exchange.”
“Hatred is the central element of our struggle!… Hatred that is intransigent…Hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold- blooded killing machine…We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish socialism rivers of blood must flow.”…If the nuclear missiles had remained (in Cuba) we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City. The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!” (Che Guevara.))
“
Castro is considered lovable by many celebrities–but the fact is the Cuban people are suffering. It’s well worth reading a book by Humberto Fontova, who lists all the facts–and also footnotes them!” (Radio Superstar Dennis Prager.)
“Humberto Fontova has performed a great service for freedom and human decency. Every American should read this book.” (David Horowitz on Fidel: Hollywood’s Favorite Tyrant.)
Humberto, this reads like you’re cribbing it from THE ONION, but sadly we all know it’s real…
The first photo of the Francis-Fidel meeting published yesterday, which I thought might be the only one that’d be released, was relatively restrained and sober compared to the photos of the pope with Raúl Castro during the latter’s recent Vatican visit, which were frankly disgusting, not to say obscene, in their jovial cordiality and ever-smiling chumminess. Alas, these new photos of Francis with Nosferatu are those Vatican photos redux. Yes, the monster is a painfully dilapidated wreck on his last leg, and I suppose it’s conceivable that the pope simply felt sorry for such a crumbling old ruin, but that wouldn’t apply to his designated heir–and what about THOSE photos?
Then there’s that beyond-nauseating bit about Nosferatu fostering world peace from the state propaganda rag, but even if we assume that it was deliberately distorted or taken out of context to suit the regime (which is not out of the question), that still leaves the official papal statement upon his arrival in Cuba, in which the pope asked the acting tyrant to “convey my sentiments of particular respect and consideration” to Fidel. Repeat, “particular RESPECT and consideration.” Yes, one could dismiss that as mere protocol which isn’t meant to be taken literally–but this is the Supreme Pontiff speaking publicly and on the record, or more to the point, this is the titular Vicar of CHRIST. Surely I need not elaborate.
Oh, and would someone please tell Fidel’s witch, I mean wife, that she does NOT look like Nicole Richie no matter what she may do to her nasty hair? Sheesh.
