What the fuck there Perez? Its getting kinda late and still no news!
you ran out of time zones. its past 4pm! stick to the celebrity gossip.
Fidel Castro is Dead…
ya know, the fact that the other media channels aren't touching this kinda gives Perez credence. I mean, he's loving his 15 minutes of fame and has been embraced by so many, specially on the TV… betcha he is right! If not THAT is also newsworthy and the media is not saying a thing. I love this shitz
Dude- why the fuck would Miami officials be the ones to be in control of this kind of a statement?? Thats just silly.
Oh Please… Like the people who would be celebrating, have cars….
Shit! I LIVE IN MIAMI!
This may be Perez's big step towards taking over all media! If it's true, he totally outscooped every major media source. If it's false, it just shows how powerful he has become and that media has lost control of its domain. Either way, it's poo in their eyes.
extremely irresponsible if this isn't true
Shut this site down. This mother fucker did this just to get some hits on this piece of shit website. done with it. Send this fucker back to washing dishes at some local in and out burger joint.
FUCK!! if thats true… Bush will do anything… atacking cuba??… maybe he (bush) would kill more people like 9/11… and then he will say that is a terrorist atack from cuba?? yeah! yi think thats it… BUSH SUCKS

Miami Local News is bullshit!
and for all those who are saying CNN isnt real news, define "Real"…its more credible than this gossip blog
Yall just dont watch the news cause its boring, stop giving the excuse that its run by the government
Holy Fuck the National Inquirer just confirmed. I guess P-Nasty wuz right!
I am beginning to feel a little duped Perez, if that is your real name. I hope this is not just a link-baiting trick you have played on all of us. I mean if it is, what is the point? Too be a famous liar? If it is true may he rest in peace and may peace be with Cuba and the rest of the world. Stop the war and hate that is all over the globe and let love rule.
hahaha…nice "scoop"
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hopefully the time has come to celebrate for real on a free CUBA!!! Wussup Miami …305 in this!~!
right,so is pres Clinton,Obama etc.Don't you think by now one of the Miami Police would link info.All this for attention to draw people to your site.He is a person after all.How would you like someone to say you are dead?
If he isnt dead he will probably show up on a video break dancing or dancing salsa!
How come only miami should keep their safety in mind? :S
Cubans stink just like mexicans. AND Puerto Ricans. actually they're all the same to me cause they smell and are also obese.
Fidel is not dead. I was just in La Habana and please do not report any lies. THe major news in television have not reported anything.
*looks at watch* 7:42 cmt
I'm sorry… Is that egg on your face Perez?
Perez:
When will you learn?
You were wrong last time.
This post is wrong.
STOP THIS CRAP please.
I didn't know you were one of THOSE Miami Cubans…bummer.
Stick to what you know. You should know NOT to trust the Miami Cuban Mafia!
Why don't you also report that alfonso ribeiro died doing a head spin? You could say that the state of California is waiting until after 7pm to avoid a "Flex Your Power" alert.
Rush hour trafic is never over in Miami. lol Can't wait to see the party in calle 8.
Thanks!
I love Castro, long live Castro. The people's leader. the USA is the ONLY nation that won't deal with Cuba in an intelligent way. The Cuban people will prevail.
CUBA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WERE THERE ARE NO POORS PEOPLE GET FREEEEEEEEEEEEE MILK FOOD AND CLOTHES HE IS THE ONLY PRESIDENT IN THE WORLD THAT REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS PEOPLE…..IM FROM CANADA AND KIDS GO TO SCHOOL WITHOUT EATING SO SHUT UP F***** IGNORANTS.
Love ya Fidel-baby! Keep on keepin' on, my bru-ther!
^ If u think fidel is so hot why are u using the internet which derived from the innermost bowels of capitalism? Why are you typing on a keyboard and computer that was designed in a competitive environment and was created in capitalism? What dumbasses, if Fidel rocks how come ur not over there? What a moron, living in capitalism worshipping communism, typical commie wannabe ignant rubbish you couldn't be more ignorant and naive Britney Spears' baby is smarter than u, u foolish ass you fuck.
Perez u rock!
what do you all REALLY know about Castro???
watch the documentary called 'Fidel', do some reasearch, ask a CURRENT cuban resident.
Don't believe everything the american media/government has told you and your parents. find out the truth for yourselves.
so i read this earlier today and cameback online at 6:58pm pacific time…..but yet nothing reporting on Fidel's death…WHAT HAPPENED???? PEREZ WHAT HAPPENED????
and we are still waiting announcement here in miami not a word just a police man told me he was going to be activated but no real news !!
Umm its 10pm in Miami.
hell yea if that bastard is truely dead then the party will be at La Carreta on Bird Road & 87th ave in miami!!!
hell yea if that bastard is truely dead then the party will be at La Carreta on Bird Road & 87th ave in miami!!!
Cuba is a totalitarian state modeled on what Stalin did in Russia. Everything and everybody has to conform to the state or be made to pay either with their lives or with prison or both. Children there belong to the STATE not their parents. The entire island is castro's playground. There has NOT been a free election there since the 1950's.
You people who like it should move there…or maybe read a book! FOOLS
IF the Bastard isn't dead…he will be soon…and the world will be a better place!
Viva Cuba Libre…Viva Cristo Rey!
What does his death have to do with Miami?
Sarah,
Many of castro's victims have fled the country over the years and are living all over the world…but the largest number live in Miami where there will be a huge party when the news is finally confirmed.
Miami is to Cubans what New York is to Italians.
tsc, tsc, tsc…shame on you Perez!
you know i sit here and read these people write about how you can't get a story right…. isnt it a celebrity GOSSIP sight…..???? anyway- who cares if he's dead….. he was a bad person neway
I hope to God that you are not lying. If this is true, this would be on the news for the whole day till next week. Wait for an official announcement? that makes not fucking sense.
It will be more watched then High school Musical 2
Commie Castro go away,
the free world is sick of you.
DIE COMMIE DIE…
.
h Manly The Rash Report
ya so its 2:40 am now…
Still waiting…!
yay, a lot of the cubans that live in miami can go back to cuba now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they have overtaken that city, and make non-cuban, US CITIZENS feel like foreigners in their own country - I lived there for 4 years and never want to go back again! Too bad it is one of the most beautiful cities our country has, too.
This is like the 4th time he's been pronounced dead…………I keep searching online and nothing confirmed yet.
Does anyone remember the movie 'Moon Over Parador' with Richard Dreyfuss and Sonja Braga? Dreyfuss is a Hollywood actor who is recruited by the 'fictitious' Latin country of Parador. Dreyfuss is needed to play the part of a dictator who has died in an untimely fashion (before elections) and Dreyfuss is needed for political reasons, i.e. keep the peace, keep people in power etc. It's not a bad movie, exceot Dreyfuss is, and always will be, annoying.
when is the annoucement coming?
Hey perez, why don't you waddle your lard ass into Cuba and find out….
i can't believe this actually, i'm waiting for the official announcement!
I love you Perez, I'm from Corsica, little french Island, and i love you!
Hey cunt bag it is saturday morning and no one else is reporting his death. YOU SUCK
Se van a quedar con las ganas tendremos Comandante para muchos años mas!!
Viva la Revolución !!!
I'll believe it when I see it!
Until then…RUMORS…
To all you defenders of Castro/haters of the USA - Please answer this question: Why is it that people cannot leave Cuba or even travel yet you are free to go anywhere, even emigrate to another country if you don't like the USA?
That would be the best news EVER - besides the troops coming home, of course.
I just hope when he dies his replacement is NOT worse than he was. I feel for the families in the US that have families still living in Cuba. They have not seen each other in years. Hopefully their time to meet again will come soon.
So much for your "sources" you dumb fat bastard!
Actually, Castro has been a lot better leader than most of the fascist puppets installed around the world by the US since 1960. All things are relative. Why is a mildly repressive leftist so much worst than a an extremely repressive rightist? The changes Castro brought to Cuba improved the lives of his people immensely. Sure he should have given it up by now and there was no need for the continuing repression of the press and political opposition.
BTW - how are things going with the US new BFFL China? Repressive much?
perez, you are so full of **it! If you keep making the same prediction every day, sooner or later you will be right. Do you really think the cuban government will delay such an announcement because of "traffic concerns" in the US? You have been sniffing that stuff you like so well a little too much.
4pm yesterday?? Today is Saturday and I still have the champagne on the freezer!!!. Any new news? Wha't is happening w/the CIA that can't findout the whereabouts of this Rat!!??
Good Job in getting the word out!!!
dude i still dont believe this, until my husband can go back there to scatter my father in laws ashes, Its not real. I really really hope it is though!!!!!
Que Paso?
Perez you fucking gay, Fidel will never die, bitch. Hasta la Victoria Siempre
Why did he deserve to die? What is the difference between what he does and what George bush does? Just because someone disagrees with the American government, the makes them a terrorist or supporting a terrorist organization. And that is very corrupt.
Listen, Mario, I know you're Cuban and all so you will have a biased opinion in regards to Fidel, but I'm tired of you Cubans making it seem as though Fidel is the worst dictator of all time. Do you not remember a guy by the name of Sadaam Hussein? Oh and you probably don't know who Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina was. Or Agusto Pinochet. Or Stroessner from Paraguay. Yeah, remember Hitler? Compared to these ruthless assholes, Fidel is a saint. Hussein ruthlessly murdered Kurds and Shia; Trujillo killed 35,000 Haitians in a span of days; Pinochet was the reason thousands of Chileans mysteriously disappeared during his 15 year reign; Stroessner provided refuge to ex-Nazi war criminals; oh yes, and Hitler killed 11 million people. Look, I am not a fan of Fidel, but just because Fidel took away land and power from the rich aristocracy and put a cap on freedom of speech doesn't mean he's a total asshole. I'm all for civil liberties, but come on Perez, Cuba has universal healthcare and the highest literacy rate of the Western Hemisphere. You Cubans need to quit the shit and quit your whining and open your eyes to the fact that you are not the most disadvantaged people in the work. Or have you not heard of the Palestinians? I don't mean to get political, but your whining for over 50 years is so pitiful. My country was ruled by Trujillo for 31 years; we got him killed. If Cuba was really in such a horrible state, Castro would have been deposed a long-ass time ago. Yeah Fidel is a dictator who places a cap on civil liberties but look at how he transformed Cuba from just another Latin American nation codependent on the U.S. to its biggest threat. Fidel gave Cuba a sense of nationalism. And you know it's true cuz even you Cubans who oppose Fidel are overly nationalistic. Fidel is an asshole, but he's not the biggest or shittiest in the bunch. Tell me, what will happen to Cuba when he dies? It might become just another Latin American country the U.S. government can manipulate and control. That's even sadder.
I do HATE Fidel though. He betrayed el Che. I hope he burns in hell for that.
#893 bitchezz
MAY HE ROT IN HELL!!!
It's a damn shame no one could torture him the way he tortured so many Cubans and Cuban families. Some of the stories I've heard are absolutely horrifying!!!!!!

Oh and to Banana #892… #1 Fidel pretty much did the same things those other a-holes did… #2 Che was a cold blooded murderer and I'm glad they betrayed him. He's been burning in hell for years! #3 I don't know who your sources are but a good percentage of cubans that have arrived in Miami over the past couple of years are not literate. #4 I would be more than happy to be "another Latin American country the U.S. government can manipulate and control" at least this way I know that the family that still lives on the island has food in their stomach. If you dislike the U.S. so much pack your bags and get the hell out!!!!!!! By the way… you should seriously consider talking to some of the political prisoners of cuba… maybe then your ignorance will be enlightened!!!!!!
#504 It's funny I can afford the internet… as a matter of fact I'm sure I can afford a lot of things you can't.
#493 Get played by a cuban and now your bitter??? Nice comment by the way… what street corner do you work on?
Ok you guys obviously don't know time as it's not yet 4pm Eastern there's about 9 more minutes to go..
To my fello Cubans,
For all of those who do not know Castro died months ago. For those who are going to celebrate, please don't nothing will change. Although, Castro regime seemed harsh, let's not forget that prior to Castro the mass majority of Cubans were poor and illerate. Even though Castro's death seems like a good thing, the reality is he prevented Cuba from becoming like many of the other islands filled with crime, fast food restruants . If you think now with his death the United States can storm in that not going to happen.
Ummm…yeah…sure…one of the most legendary political figures of our times dies and the exclusive is given to a freak of nature blog "reporter"….that's gonna really happen people!!!! He's not dead or even near death…watch cnn for real news…this is the place to find out what paris hilton is wearing
SORRY THIS WAS NOT YOUR SCOOP, I SENT AN EMAIL LATE LAST YEAR THAT CASTRO HAD DIED IN NOVEMBER AROUND THANKSGIVING………..
NOOOO! I LOVE FIDEL CASTRO! Stop buying into the US government's evil propaganda…How is Cuba really any worse than we are? They have a dictator, but he doesn't pretend to be anything other than a dictator, unlike here in the US, where we tell ourselves (and the leaders tell us) that we have a democracy, which is a big, fat LIE. At least in Cuba, they have universal health care, and do not kick their citizens out of hospitals and let them die, like they do here. This country, and our leaders are NO BETTER than Castro and Cuba, and if you believe we are, you have been lied to. At least Castro isn't lying to his people and telling them they are free…and we Americans aren't free either.
Hey Banana (#889), you need to get a brain, man. So, Cubans’opinions of Fidel don’t count because they’re “biased”? Gee, that wouldn’t be because we know what it’s like to live under him, unlike you, now would it? Following your brilliant logic, you wouldn’t ask the jews who lived under Hitler what that was like, because they’re “biased.” Yeah, let’s ask some shit for brains Dominicano for the real scoop on Hitler. As for your idiotic comments about “the worst dictator of all time,” what’s your fucking point? Are you saying we should make a Top 40 list of dictators, then criticize only the top 5, 10, or 20? Not to mention, who gets to decide, and how? You?
Oh wow, Cuba has universal healthcare — but no medicines. Of course, you would blame the US embargo, but if their system is so great, why can’t they make their own fucking medicines? And why can’t they get medicines from all the other countries that don’t have an embargo? Oooh, Cuba has a high literacy rate — but all the Cubans can read is what the government allows them to read (it’s called “propaganda”). The question is, does Cuba’s high literacy rate serve to free the people, or to enslave them further? Guess that’s too fine a point for you to comprehend.
And by the way, it wasn’t Fidel who gave Cubans a sense of nationalism; it was José Martí. Fidel hasn’t done shit for Cuban nationalism. As for what happens after he dies, if Cuba becomes more like the good old USA, then bring on the manipulation, brother.
you sure botched that story
I AM THE BEST !! COOOOLLLLL INIT AND LEVI UR OK X ME MOTHER IS PROPER CLASS IN ALL U ALL ON CRACK ON THIS WEB SITE
IF HE DIES ARE ALL YOU CUBANS FINALLY GOING BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY? LET'S HOPE SO.
Perez, baby, stick to ripping off the paparazzi and leave the real news to the big boys.
Perez is an idiot, at least everyone knows it now!!!!!
FIDEL CASTRO PWNZ TEH TUBE OV INTERNETZ!
Still waiting for the big annocement Perez?????? waiting………. no sign of a dead corpse yet, Perez………… waiting………… hummmmm I think someoone was looking for a little more publicity.. Why start rumors you can't back up with evidence???
Si el guey debia morir por andar de cabron ja hell yeah from mexico motherfuckers uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipiiii inter*******
you all dont think much, and love to listen to right winged cuban propaganda, the day he dies the US will turn it into a sweatshop heaven and tshirt addled tourist trap a la kissimmee florida (just south of disney world). The only reason most cubans hate him (that live in america) is because they were all rich batista supporters that were filthy rich and stubborn so in order to keep their money they left, get real, his death could mean the end of cuba all together!
Still Waiting Perez.
Trying to get a reputation in the news arena? Stick to what you know…
