The Truth Will Come Out

We stand by our story 100%.

Fidel Castro is dead!

The only way the Cuban government can settle this once and for all, though, is to parade him (alive) around Havana this weekend. No pictures or video!

I just taught a class that had a man in it who had escaped from Cuba by boat tMexico, and then to the U.s. His family is still in Cuba, and it seems that rumblings there are stronger than ever right now, especially since his birthday passed without an appearance or a radio address or anything. I specialized in Cuban studies for my Spanish degree and I can't wait to see what happens after Fidel is truly dead. There is an old joke where a schoolteacher asks the class where Castro should be buried. Many name various places in Cuba. The teacher asks Jose, and he says "I don't care where they bury his as long as it is not Jerusalem." The teacher asks him why. He says "Well, they buried Jesus there and he rose again after 3 days. We can't take that chance!!!!"

Pues yo soy cubano, y apoyo a Fidel, la revolucion no es para nada perfecta, pero es mejor que ser lacayos de Bush asesino y Terrorista. En Cuba no hay analfabetas, no hay ninos pidiendo comida en las calles, como en el resto de latinoamerica. Y no, la revolucion no me ha dado ningun privilegio, como seguro alguno de uds gusanos ya penso. Viva Fidel, abajo(no les deseo la muerte, eso seria rebajarse a su nivel) los gusanos de Miami!!

Oye Cubano, en Cuba no habrá analfabetos, pero sólo pueden leer la propaganda comunista de mierda que permite tu querido Fidel. Y si tienes menos de 50 años, nunca has conocido nada más que la revolución, así que claro, ¿qué vas a pensar? ¿Cómo es eso que aquí no viene ningún Cubano de Cuba a hablar mal de Fidel? Y no me vayas a decir que es porque no los hay. A ver, habla de Fidel como has hablado de Bush pa que veas lo que te pasa, cabrón.

Te escribo en español para que entiendas. Esta revolución del asno de Fidel es una basura. Fidel no es mejor que Bush, los 2 son encarnaciones del mismísimo diablo. Este imbécil hechó a perder a Cuba y a los cubanos. Tú mismo ya ni siquiera estás ahí, si te encuentras blogueando aquí. Los cubanos son una raza de traumatizados, con una mentalidad de carencia e intranquilidad. Todo arrebatan, por el terror de que se los vayan a quitar. Son pendencieros y abusivos una vez que tienen cualquier cosilla y esto es obra de Fidel. Lo terrible es que su muerte no liberará a Cuba, el régimen seguirá con sus familiares al frente. Y los cubanos? esos ya se quedaron jodidos. Y los peleoneros que están aquí, no se van a mejorar.

To all the other Castro lovers here: you cannot change the fact that it is the Cuban people and they alone who should be allowed to decide how they’re governed. You can talk all you want about how much the Cubans love Castro, but until there’s a free and open election, there’s no way to know. If Castro is so beloved by his people, then he shouldn’t be so afraid of an election, should he? And you only show your contempt for the Cuban people by denying them the same rights that you (presumably) possess, even as you pretend to love them. No, all it takes is for some asshole to spend a week in Cuba as a pampered tourist and have someone say to him that they like Fidel, and it’s “Aha! You see? Cubans love their government!” All you Castro lovers are such pathetic hypocrites. You make me sick.

The comments don’t allow for much….so I’m writing this in pieces:
I think all of you are going to be owing Perez an apology…Fidel is Dead!!!! I have been reading his blog since Friday & listening to the news & had my doubts since the cuban community has killed Fidel 50 times already,however his story is 100% true only b/c mine is 100% true. I have sources in Cuba that have also confirmed to me that he has passed. I don’t reveal my sources b/c they have been political prisioners in the past & are afraid if caught saying something. In their words: "We knew that Miami would hear it sooner or later. When it becomes official please stay in your homes & only go out if needed b/c remember that there are alot of communist there also". This implies that he has been dead & we haven't been told. I also have 2 friends in law enforcement that confirmed that they have been told that he is dead.
chisme says – reply to this

1318

One told me they would announce it on Sunday night or Monday after rush hour. The other said that they are trying to get reinforcement b/c they fear that when the "party" begins it won't just be in Miami in Little Havana on Calle Ocho…it's all of Miami from the Keys, Kendall, Miami Beach, Hialeah;cities like Orl&o, Tampa, Gainesville & even other states like NY, TN, GA, NC, CA etc..They are not just planning the Orange Bowl as a place for Cubans to gather to celebrate but also in Tropical Park. I have been told that the media is cooperating. I've also heard that CNN will be the first to report the announcement & they will be stationed in the parking lot next to Versailles as it has already been rented from the owners. So when you see their news vans….
chisme says – reply to this

1319

Additionally to those hating on the US; You might as well leave. That's what is so great about the US…If you don't like it you have the Choice to leave it!!!! I was born here & love my country. I agree that the govn't isn't the best it has been in yrs & we have taken a turn for the worst but the freedom of speech & right to choose that we have in this country is unheard of in many others. The govn't WOULD hide news from us, sometimes they have to. (IT'S THE GOVERNMENT) They have a lot of secrets & will always have secrets. I also believe that Raul & those left in power in Cuba don’t want to admit what has happenned. Look at what happenned in the USSR & in Spain.They spent months/years keeping the truth from us. Spain use to actually parade the man's body on a balcony waiving to his people & give the excuse that he was unable to speak meanwhile their leader had been dead all along.(People it happens) Who knows when the announcement will come out, maybe not today or tomorrow but it will leak out with time & the death date will come back close to the week of Aug.17th.

To my cuban people:Change won’t come right away so be patient. My father died w/o ever seeing his Cuba free from communism. I have family that have died at sea trying to make it here & since I myself have never had the opportunity to visit the isl& I have family that I have never met & I can't wait to meet. I know my generation will see him die of old age. I just hope that people like my mom actually get to witness it also before they pass as I know they have suffered & waited a lifetime (50 years). My religion never celebrates a death & I don’t wish for anyone to die (including Castro) but if God has chosen that it is his time to go then I'm glad to see him leave. I can't wait to see Cuba Libre!!!

Sounded too good to be true and it was. I had heard from several sources within Miami-Dade county offices, Castro was dead since last Wednesday. Guess everyone was wrong and hopeful. Annoucement was scheduled for today. Nothing has been announced. One day it will be TRUE.

If you hate our country so much, go back to yours! And leave us the hell alone! Oh yeah, and take your language with you. You come to our land, take advantage of all we have to offer, and don't even bother learning our language, and expect us to learn yours. Sad day in America when a person who was born and raised here, and has paid taxes all of their life, is now required to speak a different language just to find employment, to serve the non english speakers…. give me a break… Hope the old guy dies, and maybe you can get the hell out of our beautiful wonderful country.

Castro died of syphyllis like Al Capone. Unlike Al, Castro got it from a sheep he pumped in the back of his 55 Chevrolet. The newest model they have running in Cuba. Hopefully now all the Cubans can go home. We have enough baby talk here with the rio grande river jumpers.

1341

hello?????
1).the crazy US government won't confirm the news because they are first positioning to over throw the cuban government and take cuba once and for all. one last hurrah for GW! son of sam.
2). perez is not commenting on this because he has been SILENCED by the government
3). they are first calling in all available law enforcement in the southern states to rally in Miami because when news hits the beloved CNN, Telemundo, whatever - they are prepared for the, well, "dancing in the streets" of haBana, calle ocho, sobe, kendal…. south florida….. that is sure to follow an "official announcement"

PEREZ SUPPORTER says – reply to this

1346

If Perez were wrong, he'd post it on the main pages, not just to those of us commenting on this entry.

In Miami news today (quoted):
Miami Police Chief John Timoney told Local 10's Rad Berky there has been a noticable increase of "chatter" about the ailing dictator's condition.

Timoney told Berky that he was awakened in the middle of the night by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Wednesday with first word of the rumors. He told Berky that was "very unusual."

Timoney said he is now getting hourly updates from the FBI and is passing those on to the Miami officials including the mayor and city manager.
Fidel is dead. Perez is right. The truth will come out….

(posting in parts…sorry)To those shouting for Cubans to go home. First of all, a lot of us have become American citizens or were born in America. Home is America. If you think you can order an American citizen "home" to Cuba because they are concerned about the status of a dictator who hurt so many of their parents and grandparents, then go back to Ireland, England, and anywhere else unless home is a reservation and quit calling yourself (fill in the blank)-American because you're being pathetic hypocrites.

For those that feel the exiled Cubans are cowards, you might want to read your history books. The US offered help to get the country back, then backstabbed them. However, Cubans that came to America have more patriotic sense and appreciation for the freedom they have as Americans than a lot of people who have been here for generations. And if the Cubans are cowards, then so are those that fled Europe continuously for the past few centuries.
mn says – reply to this

1348

To those of you that want to stereotype America and be hateful, it's your choice to be. Everyone has their opinion. At least if we don't like a president, the longest he can be there is eight years and we vote, have the power to change things, and unlike the governments that do not allow that, we can criticize our leaders publically, and do.

To in the same breath criticize Americans for materialism while vacationing on pristine beaches that are not even open to the average Cuban citizen is plain hypocrisy. You just want your little tourist playground and have no regard for the situation in Cuba.
mn says – reply to this

1349

Spin works both ways. I have relatives that remained in Cuba, a few of them professionals and in the medical field. They starved like anyone else and like a lot of people in Cuba, depend on care packages from family in America. Cuba's health care system is so great that a doctor in my family could only get a pain killer from family in the States as he died riddled with cancer in a leaky little house. Remember that, tourists, that you see what the government wants you to see in a place like Cuba.

Is Castro dead? Who knows. I think he's been dead a long time. I am just a little miffed that Perez hasn't issued an apology or a retraction a little more publically than on a message board. His death is not going to give rise to sweeping positive improvements in Cuba, but it's going to make a lot of us feel really good that this tyrant has left the earth. Let us have our moment.

Communism looks really good on paper when you are a hippie on acid, but in the end, it doesn't work because human nature will never allow it to be anything more than oppression. Don't sit back there and act the armchair politician when you've never seen it firsthand, or allowed yourself to be taken in by the innane rhetoric.
Americano says – reply to this

1350

mn,

Your comments are so RIGHT ON TARGET that I wanted to commend you for a job well done! So many Americans (but by no means all) haven't a clue as to what goes on in other countries. These people are totally taken in by the beautiful-sounding rhetoric of communism, but fail to see that theory and reality are two very different things. They also ignore the old adage "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." As for the great Cuban health care system, my relatives in Cuba used to beg us for Tylenol and all sorts of medicines all the time (they're now deceased). Any Cuban in America knows this, but the Castro lovers think we're all liars, because they've been suckered in by Castro's propaganda. And yes, if the Cubans who came here are cowards, so are the refugees from Darfur, the jews who fled from Hitler, and the pilgrims of Plymouth Rock, USA.

Hey Pubez, nice one, I bet ol' Fidel is chuckling away on his deathbed right now at your lack of any journalistic skill or "inside information" whatsoever! I guess if you start reporting the deaths of all old, ill men, you're bound to hit gold sooner or later! You should stay away from the politics and stick to celebrity gossip, though I'd challenge that you don't know shit about that either.

Castro's eventual death will be no release to Cuba, just a symbollic freedom. Be real, Fidel Castro hasn't "ruled" Cuba in years. No shit will change. Power already officially rests with his brother Raul and has done for over a year. Cuba will be in as tight a chokehold as ever. Your lack of any sort of poltical awareness in your own country astounds me.
Fidelia says – reply to this

1358

sure! an 81 yr old guy's death should change the world
He won decades ago!, his death is of little meaning right now but I guess miamians (not cubans anymore) already have their minds so twisted that this probably means a lot. I really wish he dies and all the cubans that "depend" on his death will honor their promises of going back to their "free" cuba (sure they will).

UPDATE: Below was just copied from Reuters moments ago (Aug.28,2007)

HAVANA (Reuters) - Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is tipping Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to team up and win the U.S. presidential election.

ADVERTISEMENT

Clinton leads Obama in the race to be the Democratic nominee for the November 2008 election, and Castro said they would make a winning combination.

"The word today is that an apparently unbeatable ticket could be Hillary for president and Obama as her running mate," he wrote in an editorial column on U.S. presidents published on Tuesday by Cuba's Communist Party newspaper, Granma.

Premature rumors of Fidel Castro’s death are common in Miami, Florida, a city heavily influenced by Cuban exiles. Their frequency intensified after Castro's 81st birthday passed on August 13, 2007, with no word from him. On August 24, 2007, rumors began circulating heavily in Miami, about the possibility that Fidel Castro's death would be announced that day. Rumors were notably escalating with a meeting of local officials to go over their plans for when Castro dies and a road closure in the Florida Keys that was only due to a police standoff.[121] Media outlets received high volumes of calls asking to verify if the rumors were true. None of the rumors have been confirmed.[122] Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque responded by saying that Castro was still recovering from his surgery in 2006 and has been keeping busy.[123] FOX News reported that the US State Dept believes the rumor to be false.[124] Castro wrote and signed a lengthy essay published August 26, 2007 saluting a Cuban political figure, Eduardo Chibas, but giving no hint of how he is feeling, even amid rampant rumors of his demise.

Britney Spears & Demi Lovato's First X Factor Critique! Listen Here!

Girls are on fire!!!

We won't get to see how the ladies did until the fall, but today in Austin, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato took their seats as the new judges on The X Factor. Someone had the foresight of smuggling in a recording device to the Texas auditions and we've got the audio from the ladies' first critique!

And you know what? They sound like old pros!

Check out the video (above) to hear Brit Brit and Darling Demi give their thoughts on the first contestant of season two!

They both sound so GOOD! Strong and confident; it doesn't sound like either of them were nervous at all!

Bravo, ladies! We can't wait to see you in action!
