43

Eleven years ago today, the benevolent government of the people of Cuba, the very same government whose supporters are quick to remind us of how well taken care of the Cuban people are, of how said government is responsible for 100% literacy rate of its people, of how said government provides free universal healthcare for its people and boasts the lowest infant mortality rate in the hemisphere, systematically murdered 43 of its own people who were simply exercizing their rights as human beings to seek the freedoms denied them by said government.

Forty-three men, women and children drowned by the castro regime. Forty-three human beings dead from the 72 aboard the tugboat 13 de Marzo who witnessed the true face of the castro regime as it rammed their boat repeatedly until it lost bouyancy and then said government using water canons to ensure that there would be a minimum of undesireable survivors.

Forty-three people dead, eleven years ago today. Forty-three people whose bodies were never allowed to be recovered from the sea. Forty-three souls who were not allowed proper burial and were left, like discarded waste, in the depths of the ocean.

Forty-three people dead. Remember those words today. Forty-three people dead. Keep them in your thoughts today. Mothers whose final vision was to see their children drown. Children whose final vision was to see saw mothers drown. Brothers that drowned together. Sisters who clung to each other during their final moments.

Forty-three people dead.

Remember those forty-three today because their benevolent government wants you to forget. And because if you dont remember them, nobody else will.

To my everyday prayer for the end of the tyranny, I added another one for the soul of its inocent victims.
In their honor, a very loud ABAJO FIDEL! comes out my heart.

castro's thugs meant to kill all 72 aboard so there would be no witnesses to their massacre, however, while in the process of murdering innocent Cubans, a Greek flagged ship showed up so they had no option but to begin rescuing the survivors. Today in lanuevacuba.com you can read some chilling testimonials from survivors.

Nuestro dia ya viene llegando!

In memory of all the Cubans who have died confronting castro during the last 46 years I say:

FIDEL HIJO DE PUTA MUERETE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Want another proof that castro cares more about money than his own countrymen?
"Fidel Castro said that 21 hotels were severely damaged, but that 90 percent of the Varadero tourist resort is ready to offer services. Roads, railroads were severely damaged as well as 160 health facilities and 96 sports centers and 69 cultural institutions." When will the health care facilities be running? Good thing Varadero is running otherwise the European and Canadians would be really in a tizzy. I believe that there will be a special place in hell for castro.

It really is way past time for Castro to be dead. Anyone remember that video of the prick tripping and breaking his leg? It's a shame it wasn't his neck.

Ditto Jose- fidel hijo de puta muerte ya
There should be a line of lighted buoys from Cuba to Florida, eternal lights in memory of the tens of thousands of victims lost at sea.

And also lighting the way to freedom.

Regardless of how gruesome and sickening the truth is, I am so glad you all are sharing it. You would never know these stories were true by watching the news or listening to the Fidelistas out here in yes...OREGON. Esta gente liberal va a la isla para los "foros" de mujeres de color y hablan con las mujeres cubanas. Regresan diciendo "todos tienen seguro medico, todos tienen una educación". Mi madre...ojalá pudieran ver el horror que han sufrido los prisioneros políticos o hablar con la gente que han salido por causa de daño en las manos de ese diablo Fidel. Did you know they are getting Americans to boycott Bacardí Rum as well? They are telling them America "stole" the rum company and they should boycott it...¡Coño!

That does it. Later today, I shall head for the nearest liquor outlet here in Montgomery County, Maryland, to purchase the largest bottle of Bacardi (Select) they have on stock. My patriotic duty, as far as I'm concerned.

Let us analyze the July 13 genocide in all its brutality
43 men women and children died, that is MORE than the recent London terrorist attack that has shocked the world. The London massacre stands at 37 dead.

Now : FORTY THREE Cubans
Gunned down like sheep in a corral. This was not perpetrated by mis-guided idealism or religious fanatics attacking a perceived enemy. This was done by brothers against brothers following the whims of a barbaric assassin.
There isn’t a BIT of difference between the 9/11 attacks and the 7/13 bloodbath. I take THAT back the 7/13 was worse, if not in human fatalities, in the sheer brutality of the action.
And yet, the usual assholes, the cultists, the apologists, those who would have us bend down to EVERY of KaSStro’s whims want us to “talk” and not go down to their “level”.

I wonder how many women begged to talk to the beasts as their bullets were splitting the bodies of their children into eternety; I wonder what the cries were like as one by one these animals systematically executed their own brethren.
And the world kept silent, and the ubiquitous “strong declarations of condemnations” were issued by the organizations appointed to care for the humanity of men worldwide. But, NOT ONE FUCKING thing to prevent this from happening again.
And the shame, the guilt of THIS barbarism falls square on the shoulders of ALL nations, which trade with the Beast. To the tourists, the pacifists, the “voices of reason” the Zapateros and Jessie Jacksons of the world.
And now he DOES it again, by the inhuman refusal of foreign aid to Cubans.
In the course of 46 years there has been enough dialog, enough opportunities for peaceful negotiation.
We look at the failure that was Giron, and say “Force didn’t work”, well, THAT wasn’t force that was a vain simulacrum. KaSStro has never felt the wrath of REAL FORCE.
Yes I WILL get as low as The Beast wants me to go, because I don’t want to be the “good guy” while children are being gunned down while in the search for freedom.
Within the context of dealing with The Beast of Biran “being a “good guy” is tantamount to being his accomplice.
In adherence of the old axiom
“Don’t get mad, get even”
