The passage of two hurricanes over Cuba within weeks of each other has plunged the Cuban people further into despair. The destruction of the storms along with the lack of food and water, electricity and fuel, and most of all freedom, has the Cuban people suffering through the worst crisis in the country’s history. And with a totalitarian dictatorship denying them any way out of this crisis on their own, the situation in Cuba has become “unlivable,” according to Cubans.

As foreigners and YoYo visitors dwindle, Cuba’s tourist industry collapses
From our Annals of Apartheid Tourism Bureau with some assistance from our Bureau of Potentially Fatal Self-Inflicted Wounds and our Bureau of Unintended Consequences of YoYo Behavior
An article by Emilio Morales in Diario de Cuba analyzes the nearly total collapse of Castro, Inc.’s apartheid tourist industry. The figures he cites offer ample proof that the investment made by Castro, Inc. in hotels has not only been a failure, but a driving force in the collapse of the Cuban economy. In other words, Castro, Inc. might be dying from a self-inflicted wound.
Shocking! FEMA supervisor ordered relief workers in Florida to avoid damaged homes displaying Trump signs
From our Cubanization of U.S. Government Agencies Bureau
Wow. Such a shock. NOT. This should have been expected. It’s something Castro, Inc. would do if anyone in Cuba dared to display any sign opposing the dictatorship. Curiously, since so many Cubans living in Florida were pro-Trump it is highly likely that many of those homes avoided by FEMA employees were owned or rented by Cubans. Good riddance to this creeping totalitarian leftism . . . Vayanse pa’l carajo . . .
Russia to send $60 million worth of diesel fuel to Cuba
From our Russification of Kuba Bureau with some assistance from our Bureau of Bottomless Holes
Cuba’s begging — highlighted in the previous post — seems to be paying off. Czar Vlad the Invader is sending 80,000 tons of diesel oil to Castro, Inc. This oil will be like a small bandage placed on a severed femoral artery. Castrogonia needs much more than this. Much, much more. Its needs are colossal. One of these days no amount of aid will be able to keep it in power. And that day might be closer than Castro, Inc. and its sugar daddies are willing to admit.
Cuban dictatorship begs for foreign aid in the wake of hurricanes Rafael and Oscar
From our Bureau of Parasitic Socialism with some assistance from our Bureau of Mendicant Socialism
Beg. beg. beg. Rely on sugar daddies. Blame the embargo. Never accept change, never accept responsibility for any disaster. Such are the sacred guidelines by which Castro, Inc. ekes out its existence. Unfortunately, instead of letting the rotten inhumane system collapse under the weight of its inept and evil policies, countries around the world have helped Castro, Inc. stay in power for nearly 66 years.
Socialism is behind the massive power outages in Cuba
No matter how many excuses the communist Castro dictatorship puts forward, it is not the weather, sanctions, or bad luck that are causing the island-wide power outages in Cuba, but 65 years of failed socialist policies and corruption.
The 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall
35 years ago today, on November 9, 1989, the infamous Berlin Wall came down. Its collapse marked a victory for freedom, and a defeat for the deadly ideology of socialism that still reverberates today. Despite the left’s diligent efforts to revive socialism and downplay the historic significance of that day, the fact remains the wall was built not to keep out capitalists seeking the refuge of a workers’ paradise, but to keep those in the chains of communism from escaping.
At least five Cubans arrested for peacefully protesting power outages
Five young Cubans were arrested by State Security on Friday for participating in peaceful protests over the chronic and extended power outages in communist Cuba. One detained protester says he and his family members were threatened with violence and even death. The five are the ones that have been confirmed by sources on the island, but the number of those arrested is likely higher.
