DebO Gush 1: “the old boy still has what it takes”
If the old boy
ever had what it took, he would have held elections and won his mandate from
the Cuban people at any time over the past half century.
If the old boy had
what it took, he would have held elections instead of installing his brother,
Raul, to keep power all in the family.
Hereditary leadership. Where have we seen that before? Oh
yes, the Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea and the Syrian
Arab Republic
come to mind. Hereditary leadership is so 18th century don’t ya
know?
DebO Gush 2&3: “no signs of retreat
from his convictions” … “an
inspiration for stubborn socialists everywhere.”
So that explains why the moderators of the Burd Report declare that they
ain’t gonna change their progressiveness. The world changes, history rivers onward and those big immovable stubborn boulders
just stay put, doing nothing except be themselves. Nope, not gonna change. Same
with the Castro brotherhood, keeping those Plymouths, Fords, Chevies, and
letting the people relive the fifties day after miserable day for over two
generations. The Cuban people deserve a government of their own choosing.
DebO Gush 4&5: “Castro’s insights are fascinating” …“his mind is as sharp as ever when it comes to
deciphering the meaning behind the world’s politics.”
Father Fidel was renown to deliver hours-long speeches
marinated in progressive socialist ideology while tens of thousands of
‘adoring’ Cubans gave up a holiday to sit under the hot Caribbean
sun on a concrete plaza fascinated by the many “insights” coming from Father Fidel, minute after minute, hour after
hour, the insights gushing forth from his hairy cigar-chompin’ mouth. Gush.
Gush.
DebO Gush 6&7:
“Fidel Castro is one powerhouse of a
leader, and deserving of the respect of most of the Cuban people” … “It is indeed a huge accomplishment that Cuba, and the Cubans, have stood
strong in spite of decades of attempted genocide on the part of the USA.”
What an
incredibly hateful comment. The USA made no attempt whatsoever to
commit genocide against Cuba . What the USA did do is act like a petulant dangerous
child, and sent its Keystone CIA on numerous failed attempts to assassinate
Castro, but that is NOT genocide as
DebO maliciously asserts. Assassinating a political leader is not even close to
the definition of genocide.
USAmerican
policy has served no purpose other than to provide the Castro family with a
lazy and easy excuse for the half-century of poverty their citizens must endure
just to satisfy the progressives’ enduring anti-Americanism. The Cuban people
are pawns, political pawns of both the right and the left.
The
embargo. It applies to the USA , and no one else. Cuba was free to trade with almost all
other countries of the world. But the “powerhouse
of a leader” chose to hook the wagon of the Cuban people to the mule of the
great Soviet people. Besides sugar and cigars, the Castro brothers traded
Cubans.
Tens of thousands of conscripted Cuban troops were
dispatched in support of Soviet-supported wars in Africa ,
particularly the People's Movement for
the Liberation of Angola and for
a very special ally, Mengistu Haile Mariam of the Peoples Democratic Republic
of Ethiopia.
Mengistu, was renown for a lavish anniversary party of
international progressives while the rest of the country starved to death.
Shortly thereafter Mengistu fled to Zimbabwe
and shacked up with that other world renown progressive buddy and Castro Brotherhood
alley, Robert Mugabe, who also led his people into penury and starvation.
Vultures of a feather.
So we have DebO gushing that Castro is “deserving of the
respect of most of the Cuban people”
Tragically, the Cuban people have never been told how many of their own
died in these African wars at the beck and call of the USSR .
The Cuban people demonstrated their respect for Castro by
storming the Peruvian embassy April 6,
1980 ; they were 10,000 strong. This was followed by the Mariel
event, in which a quarter million people departed Cuba
in a two month period.
Maleconzo,
Havana ’s seaside avenue, saw an
uprising Aug5/94, involving thousands
of Cubans chanting “libertad.” It
was brutally suppressed by the thugs and goons of the Castro brotherhoodlum.
In 1998, the “powerhouse
of a leader” received the Muammar Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human
Rights. What a proud moment that must have been for the world’s unchanging progressives.
Amnesty
International reported in 2009, “Freedom of expression remained
limited, with all mass media outlets remaining under state control. Journalists
working for independent and alternative news agencies continued to face
harassment and intimidation in the form of short-term detention and monitoring
by security officers. Opposition political groups and many civil and
professional associations continued to be barred from gaining legal status. In
December, more than 30 people were briefly detained by the Cuban authorities,
preventing them from celebrating International Human Rights Day in Havana .
At the end of the year, 58 prisoners of conscience continued to be held solely
for the expression of their political views. In February, four prisoners of
conscience were released on health grounds, but were ordered to leave the country.”
Human Rights Watch
reported, “Raul Castro’s government has increasingly relied on a
“dangerousness” (estado peligroso) provision of the criminal code that allows
the state to imprison individuals before they have committed a crime, on the
suspicion that they might commit an offense in the future. Scores of
individuals have been sentenced to between one and four years for “dangerous”
activities including handing out copies of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, staging peaceful marches, writing critical news articles, and trying to
organize independent unions.”
Progressives like to wave the health care banner as a redeeming factor
for the half century of family dictatorshit. Health care is dismal for Cubans.
There are very good hospitals for foreigners and the elite beholden to the
Castro Brotherhood.
Katherine
Hirschfeld, produced an astute analysis of the Cuban
Health Care System. The infant mortality rate in Cuba is one of the best in
the world. It is a very important statistic to the dictatorshit. How is it
maintained? Any foetus that indicates a risk to survival stats is forcibly
aborted. There are censorshit laws that have serious consequences to anyone in
the health industry who openly questions the health care system.
The
general decrepitmess of health care for average Cubans can be easily
witnessed by googling “Cuban hospitals” in the photo search engine. When I see
these images, I am reminded of the hospitals I visited in socialist Poland,
socialist Hungary and socialist Bulgaria. Progressives had to be blind to the
socialist fraud around them. They had to believe their own propaganda.
If you re-read the article written by DebO and the comments from fellow
progs, their issue is not the welfare of Cubans, but the
stick-it-to-the-yanquis mantra. How pathetic is that! And for generations now,
the Cuban people have paid dearly for such policy.
“Ah Fidel!” gushed DebO.
