The Castro dictatorship’s sock puppet president quoting murderous psychopath Che Guevara at the UN this week is a clear indication that violence in Cuba is as prevalent today as it was back then.
John Suarez has a partial history of that violence in Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter:
A partial history of violence in Castro’s Cuba
Miguel Diaz-Canel began his address to the UN General Assembly on September 19, 2023 by quoting Che Guevara in a speech he gave in “this very room almost 60 years ago” referencing the “exploited and the humiliated” of the South. He left out the Argentine guerilla’s more honest appraisal of what the Cuban Revolution was doing on December 11, 1964.
“We must say here something that is a well-known truth and that we have always asserted before the whole world: Executions? Yes, we have executed people; we are executing people and shall continue to execute people as long as it is necessary.”
Diaz-Canel rejected Cuba being a State Sponsor of terrorism claiming there were no grounds to the charge. Ignoring the Tricontinental gathering in Havana bringing terrorists, and guerrillas from around the world to engage in systematic violent attacks against Western democracies.
Or that Cuba was placed on the list in 1982 because Havana was using a narcotics ring to funnel both arms and cash to the Colombian M19 terrorist group then battling to overthrow Colombia’s democracy.
M-19 members stormed Colombia’s Palace of Justice in November 1985. Eleven of Colombia’s 25 Supreme Court justices were among the hostages killed. Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s current president, was an M-19 member in the 1980s.
The Castro dictatorship, with decades of experience in terrorism, torture and genocide around the world, is expert in war, terrorism and the use of extrajudicial killings, and executions as methods of control to stay in power. Conservative estimates of the Castro regime’s death toll against Cubans run from 35,000 to 141,000, with a median of 73,000. In the beginning executions were televised in Cuba to terrorize the populace.
Extrajudicial killings: more than just a number
Executions and Extrajudicial killings were common practice beginning in 1959, and continue to the present day. Well documented episodes such as the July 13, 1994 “13 de Marzo” tugboat massacre that claimed the lives of 37 of men, women and children and the February 24, 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shoot down that murdered four human rights defenders are rare because they are well documented.

That Argentine asshole should not have spoken at the UN in such a get-up and with that ridiculous and greasy hair. Talk about exhibitionistic bullshit (though he may have believed in it, unlike Fidel Castro).
And, once again, “Che” looks distinctly simian, not to mention like a psychopath.
Maybe I’m hypersensitive, but when I see a photo of “Che,” I feel deeply embarrassed, not to say ashamed.
