castro's organ debunked
The great Carlos Alberto Montaner takes on castro's puny organ, Granma, for all its lies against him. He tells a terrible personal story of escaping from castro's dungeon in order to live to tell the truth about the monster. And his telling of the truth is precisely why the beast is lashing out with his campaign of slander. Montaner's story:
In December 1960, three other students and I were arrested in Cuba for ''conspiring against the powers of the state'' and sentenced to the then-benign term of 20 years' imprisonment. If the authorities had accused us of terrorism or of killing someone, they would have lined us up before the firing squad, which was the custom at the time.
Actually, they couldn't even accuse us of a specific act, because we were arrested almost at the moment we started to help the peasant guerrillas in the Escambray mountains, who fought heroically to prevent the consolidation of communist dictatorship in Cuba.
I managed to escape from prison a few weeks after I was sentenced and found asylum in a Latin American embassy, but my brave companions -- Jorge Víctor Fernández, Néstor Piñango and Alfredo Carrión -- went through a horrendous prison experience that destroyed their lives. Carrión was murdered by a guard.
Read the whole riveting thing here.

At first glance, I thought you were talking about a different kind of organ.

LOL See what happens when you post t-shirt contest type photos hijo?
I think we are going to see more and more of these slanderous stories. The beast is on it's last legs and is a desperate to canonize cagastros version of the revolution. It's not going to work; there are too many victims, and too many witnesses.

A few years ago, my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Montaner's mother, a lovely woman. She related how, when her son was sentenced, she expected that eventually he would face a firing squad - because, although at the time of sentencing he was only a minor, fidel had, more than once, simply waited until the accused attained legal age, then had him shot. A prime example of "revolutionary justice."
Thank God Mr. Montaner escaped. To become an enduring thorn on kaSStro's side.

The shortest website in the world would be the one that lists the truths Granma ever published.

Eleggua, it would have to be the invisible website.
