Lets all pray for the Castro family. Pray that Raul dies soon too.

Raul wont last much longer... He's no "Fidel".

I wouldn't be surprised if things change very quickly over the next 5 years.

More late breaking news....

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead :)

Welcome to the party Fidel...

A Cuban friend of mine insists he died years ago, during surgery and they kept up the charade until Raul was settled in.

Disgusting to near retarded. He's a leader and represents a complete 360 difference in govt. and yet praises a POS dictator and commie?

Strangely, with Obama lightening up embargo's maybe the CIA have another angle on this. Perhaps a flood of American tourist will in some way really be mercenaries and take out Raul. It would look as if the US gov. was no part of it yet the Cuban people would celebrate. LOL

Obama loves him:

●He turned Cuba into a colony of the Soviet Union and nearly caused a nuclear holocaust.

●He sponsored terrorism wherever he could and allied himself with many of the worst dictators on earth.

●He was responsible for so many thousands of executions and disappearances in Cuba that a precise number is hard to reckon.

●He brooked no dissent and built concentration camps and prisons at an unprecedented rate, filling them to capacity, incarcerating a higher percentage of his own people than most other modern dictators, including Stalin.

●He condoned and encouraged torture and extrajudicial killings.

●He forced nearly 20 percent of his people into exile, and prompted thousands to meet their deaths at sea, unseen and uncounted, while fleeing from him in crude vessels.

●He claimed all property for himself and his henchmen, strangled food production and impoverished the vast majority of his people.

●He outlawed private enterprise and labor unions, wiped out Cuba’s large middle class and turned Cubans into slaves of the state.

●He persecuted gay people and tried to eradicate religion.

●He censored all means of expression and communication.

●He established a fraudulent school system that provided indoctrination rather than education, and created a two-tier health-care system, with inferior medical care for the majority of Cubans and superior care for himself and his oligarchy, and then claimed that all his repressive measures were absolutely necessary to ensure the survival of these two ostensibly “free” social welfare projects.

●He turned Cuba into a labyrinth of ruins and established an apartheid society in which millions of foreign visitors enjoyed rights and privileges forbidden to his people.

●He never apologized for any of his crimes and never stood trial for them.

Excellent overview of Castro's career, Former Cuban President Fidel Castro dead at age 90 | Miami Herald.

sammyg2 11-28-2016 06:39 AM

That whole "human rights" thing is waaay over-rated!
What's wrong with a dictator deciding who lives or dies, who eats and who starves, What they can show on TV, on the news, what the people can say and read where they can live and what they can own, etc. ?
Personal freedoms. Bah!


This thread was PARF by design, no one "changed it".

jamesnmlaw 11-28-2016 12:45 PM

gone from the billionaires' listing
 
Castro was a billionaire in a country where $30 a month income is above average. Just another third-world dickhead.

I was at a talk given by the Dalai Lama this summer.
He told the story of talking with an ex-pat Cuban about forgiveness and wishing ALL people well.
He said that the Cuban's response was: "I hope Fidel get to meet his maker soon"

Looks like that Cuban gets his wish.
