Misinterpretations
April 22, 2009 – 7:42 am
So many of us Cuban-Americans KNEW that when Raul Castro said he’d be willing to “talk” about anything with Obama, he was just blowing smoke:
“Affirming that the president of Cuba is ready to discuss any topic with the president of the United States expresses that he’s not afraid to broach any subject,” Fidel Castro [...]
Hypocritical Mexico
October 20, 2008 – 11:12 pm
Mexicans illegally entering US: okay.
Cubans entering US via Mexico: no way.
So decreeth the Mexican government (as well as the Castro regime):
Mexico agreed Monday to deport Cubans who sneak illegally through Mexican territory to reach the U.S., a step toward cutting off an increasingly violent and heavily used human trafficking route.
The [...]
Why no display on Castro’s prisons?
May 8, 2008 – 9:22 pm
Because I’ve long been a big fan of Irish rock group U2, I–in my naive youth–briefly joined Shamnesty International after U2 gave them a free plug during a concert. But then I got older and–as Winston Churchill noted–became more conservative and wiser. And I terminated my membership in the organization.
This news [...]
Ho hum, in other obvious news,
May 5, 2008 – 9:07 pm
night follows day, the sun rises in the east, water is wet and Cuba’s leader tells another whopper:
As a practical matter, it is impossible for this or any other newspaper to set the record straight every time the Cuban government tells a whopper. Orchestrating lies is the specialty of police states. Anyone who has ever [...]
Wait for the quid pro quo, it’s coming
February 15, 2008 – 8:41 pm
So Spain made the grand announcement that Cuba is releasing seven political prisoners, and the MSM rejoices and makes Raul sound like the second coming of Ghandi:
Cuba will free seven of 59 dissidents imprisoned since 2003, a move that opponents of ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro said reflects a “climate of change” under his brother’s [...]
Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet calls Castro apologists at UN to account
December 19, 2007 – 8:32 am
Well, in a hypothetical post by Henry Gomez of Babalu Blog, anyway, the Useless Nations and the media are called to account for their tacit–and in some cases, wide open–support of Castro’s regime. Here’s a choice snippet:
But this body is not just guilty of inaction when confronted with deplorable crimes. Sadly it’s much [...]
Int’l Human Rights Day marches in Cuba, Miami, elsewhere
December 10, 2007 – 8:29 am
Bloggers United for Cuban Liberty (BUCL) and Babalu Blog are reporting a number of protest marches today–which is International Human Rights Day–in support of freedom for Cuba.
Some of the marches will take place in Miami and Los Angeles. Some are scheduled to take place in Cuba. Naturally, the Castroite dictatorship [...]
Dogs live better than Cuban political prisoners
November 20, 2007 – 7:56 am
I’m sure even fleas live better than anyone imprisoned in Castro’s gulag, simply for what he believes in. Just ask Mr. Juan Carlos Herrera Acosta, prisoner in Castro’s Kilo 8 Prison in Camaguey, Cuba:
I’m letting it be known that my state of health is failing at an extremely dangerous pace. My physical well-being [...]
1-800-NO-2-CASTRO
November 8, 2007 – 10:41 pm
The Miami Herald, Babalu Blog and other blogs are reporting a new initiative to help those repressed by the Castro government in Cuba. The initiative was launched by the Cuban Democratic Directorate (Directorio Democrático Cubano in Spanish), so I looked them up and found the press release here.
Basically, they plan to staff (24 hours [...]
