It's about absolute control
A dissident in Cuba not only runs the risk of being surveiled, followed, harrassed, beaten and incarcerated, but the first thing the castro regime talkes away from him is his job. Then they take his home. Then, in order to keep the movement destabilized and minimized, the regime threatens his family- or anyone showing an ounce of compassion for him - with the loss of their jobs and their homes:
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba - July 19 (Vicente Pérez Varela, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - Marianela Hernández Herrera has been told she will lose her job as clerk at TRD Caribe in Cienfuegos unless she stops allowing her ex-husband to live with her.The company advised her that the chain of stores was under military control and, according to regulations, no employee can live with a dissident, which they said was the status of Hernández Herrara's ex-husband, Bartolo Joaquín Palomares Sánchez, father of her young daughter.
Said Palomares Sánchez: "Behind this circus is the hand of the political police who want to throw me into the street to destabilize me, but they won't succeed."
Having a dissenting voice in Cuba keeps you ostrasized, unemployed and homeless.
Some "revolution," eh?

But hey man, she'll still have free healthcare and a rice cooker won't she?
This is today’s how fidel should die morning commute fantasy. Strip him naked, take a bag of hard rice grains and one by one stick these into him until he is covered with rice. Stand him outside where there are many hungry birds with sharp beaks and let everyone watch him be pecked to death.

Maybe some of the members of the Liberal Circus Clown Conspiracy that go to Cuba all the time can take turns in giving Palomares shelter in those posh hotels where they stay. Or maybe he can be lodged at some EU Embassy.... Of course, we know that the Pastors of Pieces are going to be very understanding and helpful with this family.
As for cagastro's death, well I would be happy to get him one he has been pecked to death and feed him to the vultures for more pecking. Maybe PETA comes after me for being so cruel to vultures, so I better think twice about it!

Dear Val: these are some of the same tactics/intimidation used by the Libs in the US trying to silence the opposition,i.e. In preparation to the Republican Convention in NY in 2004, many libs group/organizations in the US encouraged their many members to economically, physically, and emotionally inflict hurts/pain to local Republicans in their communities. They even made suggestion of violence directed at conservatives. I will think not one is free to encourage violence or sabotaging anyone business/job or life for their political or religious views. Another reason why the left and communist dictators are the same.
