Let’s forget “Fake News!” for a second. Let’s talk outright propaganda services–flagrant “collusion” if you will–with a Communist-Crime-Syndicate.
CNN’s Cuba correspondent Patrick Oppmann (who was thoroughly vetted by Castro’s secret police before being issued a “journalist” visa and is closely monitored by this secret police) “reports” that Raul Castro is hard-working and unimpeachably honorable U.S. ally in the war on drugs–a veritable superhero.

So, needless to add according to CNN, the slightest tinkering by Trump to the Obama-created bonds with these crusaders for goodness and purity will stupidly circumvent the Castro regime’s long-standing obsession with the welfare of the American people.
In brief, according to CNN, Uncle Sam has no better, more honorable or more trustworthy friend in the war on drugs than the Castro family, those noble purifiers of Cuban society–because according to CNN’s Oppmann:
“Pre-revolution Havana was run by the American Mafia and awash in illegal drugs. For many American visitors the city’s debauched nightlife was their first opportunity to snort cocaine or visit an opium den. “One could obtain anything at will,” wrote Graham Greene of the city, “whether drugs, women or goats.
Hah! “But in 1959 (GLORY BE!) when Fidel Castro took power, he decreed a policy of “zero tolerance” on narcotics. “
Furthermore, according to CNN:
“Cuban officials told CNN that, despite political differences with the United States, they have provided key intelligence to help capture smugglers,” among many other heart-warming modes of selfless cooperation.
Let’s have a look at some of the fruits of this co-operation, shall we. (please carefully note the dates.)
HAVANA (AP) — The Obama administration and Cuba’s Interior Ministry have agreed to share information on international criminal activity such as terrorism, human trafficking and money laundering. (Jan. 17, 2017.)
“Panamanian authorities have intercepted over 401 kilos of cocaine in a shipment from Cuba en route to Belgium. The cocaine was found in a (Cuban) container camouflaged by (Cuban) molasses tanks.” (April, 14, 2017.)
We search in utter vain for any mention of this April 14 “incident” (so contradictory to CNN’s claims as dutifully transcribed from Castro’s propaganda ministry and disseminated as “news”) by CNN.
And no mention by CNN of the following:
“The case we have against Raul Castro right now (for drug-trafficking) is much stronger than the one we had against Manuel Noriega in 1988.” ( U.S. prosecutors in Florida to the Miami Herald, July 1996.)
“Federal prosecutors in Miami were prepared to indict Raul Castro as the head of a major cocaine smuggling conspiracy in 1993, but the Clinton Administration Justice Department overruled them, current and former Justice Department officials tell ABC News…”It was a major investigation involving numerous witnesses that was killed at the highest levels in Washington,” said a former Justice Department official with direct knowledge of the case.
Consider the following from the WSJ:
Given that: Venezuelan officials essentially serve as puppets of Cuban Interior Ministry officials–might there conceivably be some “collusion” that contradicts CNN’s claim that these gentlemen all toil tirelessly as superheroes in the war on drugs?
Given that: the DEA attributes HALF the word’s cocaine supply to Colombia’s FARC.
Given that; FARC’s late leader Tiro-Fijo gushed that: “Thanks to Castro we are now a powerful army, not a hit and run band.”
Given that: Havana serves as satellite headquarters for FARC…Given all the above: might there conceivably be some “collusion” between CNN’s version of Captain America and the world’s top cocaine producers and smugglers?
It’s not exactly front-page news that Communist regimes in general–and Castro’s regime in particular– closely monitor and often video foreign journalists for the purposes of blackmail. Secretly filming sexual misconduct rates the top prize in this time-honored communist blackmail scheme.
Granted, “blackmailing” a CNN “reporter” to persuade him to provide propaganda for the Castro family is probably grossly unnecesarry overkill. Still we we can’t help speculating on what the Castro regime might have on CNN’s Patrick Oppmann, who actually resides in Havana.
“The Castro regime assigns 20 security agents to follow and monitor every foreign journalist.” (Vicente Botin, who reported for Madrid’s El Pais from Cuba for years, until he was booted.)
“My job was to bug their hotel rooms,” says high-ranking Cuban intelligence defector Delfin Fernandez. “With both cameras and listening devices. “Castro’s top intelligence people would gather for the screenings of these videos almost like Hollywood types for a screening for an upcoming movie,” according to secret police defector Delfin Fernandez. “Americans are the priority objectives of Castro’s intelligence,” says Fernandez.
Can you IMAGINE what Castro’s secret police might have in its secret video “files” on somebody like CNN’s Patrick Oppmann (seen above right.)
“Oye, señores! Pero la verdad que a este Fontova le ENCANTA JODER!!!
“Humberto Fontova is a gifted polemicist who pulls no punches. A great service for liberty, justice and truth.” (The Weekly Standard on Fidel; Hollywood’s Favorite Tyrant.)
Oppmann looks very…odd. Imagine that.
