Terrific post, George!!!

George, that is great "guerrilla-editing," a perfect example of turning the enemy's weapons against him, and spreading the truth. The Web has not been that friendly to the left, which is why so many leftist totalitarian "states" ban or restrict Web access. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson in - ah, I forget the movie - "they can't handle the truth!"

It will be interesting to see how long it takes the "information police" to come behind and clean up your edits. Good job, though. :-)

I think that they already changed it back to the original version, at least that is what I see.

No surprise, it's pretty obvious whose side the wiki people are on.

Well, I'll be darn. George's entry is back in there now.
Great job George!

It feels like castro has an army out there flooding the internet with his propaganda. This is great. Too bad we can't edit all of them.

It's back again -- and I have the text file ready...

Great job George!!! It's incredible to read some of the other crap they have there about Cuba! Under Economy, they say that private enterprise is not allowed in order to prevent worker exploitation!!!!

Now it is back to the old untrue version. I hit 'refresh' and it didn't change. I guess that they keep changing it back every time.

So much for the "Wiki" concept. "Weak-y" is more like it...

And it's back again!

i see the george version

Some people have a kind of dyslexia that causes them to misread words like "Che" and "Castro" as "Christ." And some of them post at Wikipedia.

Be that as it may, by now enough people have seen's George's posting and no doubt it will be all to the good, more so because it provided links to Babalu, etc. I gotta get proficient at this stuff to help with the truth-spreading guerrilla campaign.

This is fun. Made a couple of 'lil changes which may go "under the radar for a while, as follows:

The Bay of Pigs invasion of April 1961 by U.S. backed Cuban expatriates failed because the expected popular support failed to materialize when it became clear Brigade 2506 had been abandoned to its fate by a weak and vacillating president Kennedy.

In response to Hurricane Katrina, Cuba offered the US 1,586 doctors and 36 tons of medicine and equipment. The offer, however, was turned down by the Bush administration, since the quality of both the medical training and of the supplies is dubious, at best.

The country is now able to operate and provide services in all branches of ophthalmology to hundreds of thousands of patients, mostly foreigners who are able to pay in hard currency.

Hmmm... all I'm seeing right now is the leftist fantasy, not the version you posted, George. Maybe I need to refresh the page?

Oh- Alberto- that was "A Few Good Men"

Go to all!!! Keep at it!!! Do not let these idiots prevail

take care and be well

Wiki is good for non political articles like food and cars and movies and books. The article on James Bond is incredible beyond words! I edited and contributed 3/4 of the stuff on the article for Malta (the drink)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta_%28soft_drink%29
it was biased and said that Malta was a Puerto Rican thing - in fact it was invented by the Danish in 1950. I had to put in there that Malta is drunk all around the world and a whole bunch of other stuff on the drink. I have never heard of Malta as "champagne" soda. I am also going to edit the article on "floor plans" because the current architectural article on floor plans is so flawed and it looks like it was written by retarted chimps on crack.

They have a listing on Cuban Americans - last time I checked it was OK but they change things so someone might want to check it out.

However they have 24/7 Castro stooges changing things. Your article will be changed fast. You can go into the "discussion" section regarding the said article and it will list when it was edited and by who.

A leftist's wet dream - the ability to re write history. What more can a communist want!

A lot of freaks from the UK post there - and the English love communism and Castro.

Our communist poster, who changes the entry on Wikipedia, is in Anaheim, California. Figures.

Maybe Mickey Mouse is a closet commie, after all.
Or maybe the (im)poster is out of Looney Tunes central casting.

As of now, George's version is still there. I guess Mickey is having lunch out in Anaheim right now.

Is most of Wiki left-leaning? I very seldom go there, but I've wondered. I'm surprised that changes aren't vetted by a moderator before they are allowed.

I just changed it back again. Welcome to the Wiki Wars. I give it 15 minutes, tops.

Wikipedia has a wide range of opinions but I think the person who founded the site is himself libertarian. It will be interesting to see who "wins" this battle...

Still up- cross my fingers, toes, eyes...

Now I have also changed the Politics and Education paragraphs

"Prior to the revolution, Cuba's healthcare system was widely recognized as one of the best in the world."

I guess one exaggeration deserves another. No references, nothing. Not very good journalism. You bring up some good points, though, but any reasonably intelligent person laughs at "The Real Cuba." You are not doing a service to anyone by plugging a terribly biased site like that. Especially on Wikipedia, where the idea is to spread truth democratically, and I would think responsibly.

I bet that's the jinetero chasing urban planner from LA that peruses this site and is doing all those tweaks on Wikipedia.

Hitler did have his defenders you know.

As far as biased is concerned, the original Wikipedia entry on Cuban health care was not biased Meyer? Who verified(or can for that matter) the journalistic/medical integrity of that?

Hey Meyer, therealcuba.com has people like you crying, not laughing. It is making it much more difficult to defend the indefensible. Look at the many letters from people who have said that after seeing those pictures they have finally stopped supporting the criminal regime in Cuba. Do you cry when you laugh? LOL

Is Meyer any relation to Brigadeführer Kurt Meyer, AKA "Panzer" Meyer - commander of the 12th SS Hitlerjugend division??? Who also tried to "defend the indefensible." Just wondering, it's my love of genealogy...maybe another entry to Wikipedia is in order here.

Me, I'm just a clone - so I'm beside myself!

Meyer, the website you so sneeringly denigrate is presenting to the world just the tip of the iceberg of castro's holocaust. I hope you hang your head in shame after the Beast is dead and the truth is revealed.

And, BTW, the original entry had a Cuban government "reference." Is that better than two independent journalists who actually took pictures?

If you laugh at those pictures, then you are nothing more than a fellow traveler and enabler of the regime.

Idiot.

Looks like the best argument people can come up with is "they used poor journalism, why can't we?"

I never said the previous entry was correct. You just changed it slanted from one side to the other. Site some sources. You give a lot of info, can't you back it up?

Alberto,

I called the previous Cuba entry for Wikipedia an exageration. I'm a Nazi now because I'm pushing for accuracy from the "Right Wing" version? Put up some sources, studies.

George,

Let me rephrase myself. I don't laugh at your site. The suffering in Cuba is not funny. But the site is not reference material.

>

It is reference material for people who are unbiased and have a normal IQ. What reference material do you use, Granma or Juventud Rebelde?

Did another version. Let's see how the Castroites respond.

The propaganda is back...

So am I.

The commie version is up again. I guess, in true Socialist fashion, these idiots are unemployed or are employees of the PR firm of castro, castro, che & alarcon, hired to do nothing but update the page with their propaganda. Sad.

"What reference material do you use, Granma or Juventud Rebelde?"

Proof of your bias right there. If someone doesn't agree 100% with you, you consider them "the enemy."

"And, BTW, the original entry had a Cuban government "reference." Is that better than two independent journalists who actually took pictures?"

No. Both are biased. Independent journalists can be biased too. Just because they are against a biased regime doesn't make their work unbiased.

I dropped Wikipedia this morning and there seem to have been a number of changes.

take care and be well

Larry

Well, if we're going to talk about sources, etc, and some believe that therealcuba.com is not reference material, since much of the information on said site about the Focsa building, for example, came from original source material in our family's possession, I guess according to Meyer's point-of-view, this is not considered reference material?? Excuse me! Musta fallen through a Black Hole and re-wound myself back to '56. Or maybe it was my clone.

Well, some people believe man has never landed on the moon, there was no Holocaust, etc etc, and any and all related reference materials on said subjects are therefore bogus. Humpty-Dumpty rules!

Alberto,

There are many truths on that site. I'm not doubting many, if most pictures and many stories. However, some pictures are lies, and there are some fabrications. In that way it is not reliable. Why, because I'm against Castro, should I believe everything and not question anything, especially when some of it is lies? How can I form true opinions without accurate info?
