How anyone even slightly familiar with castro's 52 plus years of violence can support dialogue with that murderer is beyond me! Wayne Smith, Danny Glover, The French, etc make me sick and their promoting of castro leads me to conclude that fidel's operatives took some very compromising videos of their stays in Havana.

Cuba's dissidents are proving to be very courageous and they will persevere in the face of incredible repression. Cuba will soon be free!

Martha Beatriz Roque si tiene cojones! Where in the world is Osvaldo Paya? His silence is deafening!

Viva Cuba Libre!!!

I wonder if Luis Moro and BAM were treated this way when they visited?

Hey George, they thought that it was local color!

F U fidel you stinking sewer animal. You invertibrate, you lowest form of life, you barbarian. Your violence is reinforced by lies and your lies reinforce your violence - as Solzhenitsyn said. He knew your type all too well. Die you filthy bug.

En el 2001 mi padre de 78 anos vino de visita a la ciudad de Nueva Orleans por varios meses,el pobre viejo llego fatigado,nervioso ,triste y hambriento. En el tiempo que estuvo aqui aumento las 30 libras que le faltaban de peso a su llegada,mui desilucionado con la situacion en Cuba escribio poemas y de vez en cuando echo su lagrimita por el sufrimiento y la angustia, El pasado 1 de julio mi hermana lo trajo de regreso de visita con la gran diferencia que en esta ocasion el celebro se lo an sacado.fidelista hasta la muerte y acusando a los cubanos en el exilio de mafiosos y cuanto articulo de la prensa libre le di a ver por el internet me informa que es pura propaganda de la mafia de miami.Mi pregunta es la siguiente.Estara la dictadura castrista dandole a los ancianos alguna droga para enloquecerlos o quizas es cosa de vejez .

This blood, as with all the suffering, lies in the hands of ALL who support or sympathize with fidel: Wayne Smith, Danny Glover, Chirac, as well as, Jack Nicolson, Steven Spielberg, Madonna, Tyson, Johnny Depp, San-f***ing-tana, college kid commies with their Che shirts, chavez, and so on.

And where is their responsibility? And where is their culpability?

It's buried under an expensive couch pillow in a mansion they own and don't even live in.

Song, doesn't the man on the photo ressemble in your mind the Ecce Homo? In mine he does and his suffering makes me cry inside as the suffering of the Ecce Homo does... this man is suffering for us too....

What comes through loud and clear is the bravery, the real COJONES these people have, that despite the fear, the repression, the probability of having to face down a howling mob of fanatical hyenas, they STILL make a stand and "speak truth to power." I wish I had that kind of backbone, coño!

Sure they squash dissent. But as numerous celebrities have reminded us, their health care system is to die for!

(my poor attempt to translate Juan Felix Monrabal's comment--fixes greatly appreciated)

In 2001 my father of 78 years (left?) to visit the city of New Orleans for several months; the poor old man arrived tired, nervous, sad and hungry. In the time that he was there he added 30 pounds of weight that he was lacking on his arrival; very disillusioned with the situation in Cuba, he wrote poems and from time to time cried out his tears about the suffering and anguish. The past July 1, my sister returned from her visit with the great difference that on this occasion the celebration was removed [i.e. he had passed away?]. "Fidelista" until death accuses the Cubans in exile of being gangsters, and every article of the free press I have given him to see on the Internet, he informs me that it is pure propaganda from the Miami mafia. My question is the following. Is the Castro dictatorship giving the elderly some drug to drive them crazy, or is it perhaps some issue of age?

The thing that bothers me the most is that sooner or later (speed the day!) Fidel will die and then a great deal of stuff will come out absolutely proving (to anyone even approaching normal) how awful the past 40+ years have been for average Cubans, and those idiot Fidel supporters will have no more remorse than those who supported Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. These people should be sent to North Korea and made to stay there. Let them enjoy the system they like so much.

TPK,

Regarding the phrase "the celebration was removed", the actual words mean "the brain was removed".

In other words, he was brainwashed.

I hear you CB... I hear you loud and clear!

jorgxmckie- This bothers me too. It would be great if these collaborators would be held accountable for their participation in the crimes against humanity perpetuated by the cagastro regime. I don't expect that to happen but I hope there will be free museums all over Cuba so future tourists cannot ignore the nightmare of cagastros Cuba. I am compiling a list that gets longer everyday.

Hey George, if those are fresh pictures from Cuba I guess the film hadn't been developed since the Marielito violence.

What are the other pictures, the ones with the beige uniforms? Are those from the recent "13 de marzo" tributes?
