A Country Without Liberty

Argentina’s Canal 5 Noticias (Channel 5 News) has done an excellent series of reports on the lack of freedom in Castro’s Cuba. They interviewed a variety of dissidents, including Dr. Hilda Molina–whose son lives in Argentina and the reporter was warned specifically not to go visit by Cuban authorities, despite having been promised by [...]

All’s quiet on the North Korean front

Yesterday, we posted that a Japanese newspaper was reporting that North Korea was set to make an “important announcement” today, which the scuttlebutt had that it could possibly be Kim Jong Il’s death or a coup d’etat.

Ho hum, in other obvious news,

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 [...]

The “C” in “CNN” stands for “Castro”

It sure looks that way after finding out, via The Natural Truth, the “news” agency sent its on-air staffers an e-mail yesterday with the following talking points on the “Castro resigns” story (my comments in parentheses):

Wait for the quid pro quo, it’s coming

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 [...]
