Remember Little Elian?

This just goes to show you that anyone can be brainwashed.

Just eight years ago, Elian Gonzalez arrived in the United States sailing across on a small raft with his mother and several others.

Unfortunately, his mother passed away before making it to freedom, but the controversy of whether the child would stay in the US or be returned to Cuba became worldwide news.

Little Elian was forcefully taken against his will and that of his family’s, and forced to return to Cuba with his estranged father.

Now, at the age of 14, Elian, like every other Cuban school boy, has been forced to join Cuba’s Union of Young Communists

And of that, he is excited.

According to the Juventud Rebelde newspaper, Elian is very excited to join and has vowed to never let down Fidel and his brother, Raul.

Elian is now one of 18,000 boys joining the communist group.

He says, “We say to the leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, and President Ra├â┬║l Castro that they can rely on these valiant troops, that we will continue to follow their example and never disappoint them.”

He adds, “Although it is an occasion for great joy, we also know that we are taking on a tremendous responsibility and there are great challenges to be faced in every school where we continue our studies, in order to become the educated individuals that our homeland needs.”

Poor kid. At least he’s well taken care of, unlike the many other Cubans on the island.

Miriam Yanet Mart├â┬¡n, president of the Jos├â┬⌐ Mart├â┬¡ Pioneros Organization, stated Elian “was a six-year-old boy who had been kidnapped by the Miami mafia and his father demanded his return to Cuban soil, the whole population rose up to demand his freedom, from the youngest schoolchild to the most elderly citizen.”

Haha, yea right. The Miami Mafia?

We don’t know the Miami Mafia, but we know the Miami Sound Machine!
