Lie, Lie, Lie! -- It works like a charm for Communists (and their MSM cronies)
“In one week during 1964 we counted 400 firing squad blasts from our cells," recalled former Cuban political prisoner and freedom-fighter Roberto Martin Perez to this writer. On April 7, 1967 The Organization of American States Human Rights Commission issued a detailed report on an overlooked facet of “President” Castro's much-lauded health-care:
"On May 27 1966 from six in the morning to nightfall political prisoners were executed continuously by firing squad in Havana's La Cabana prison. One hundred and sixty-six men were executed that day and each had 5 pints of blood extracted prior to being shot.
Extracting this amount of blood often produces cerebral anemia and unconsciousness so that many had to be carried to the execution wall on stretchers. The corpses were then transported by truck to a mass grave in a cemetery outside the city of Marianao. On that day, the truck required seven trips to deliver all the corpses. On 13th street in Havana's Vedado district, Soviet medical personnel have established a blood bank where this blood is transported and stored. This blood is sold at fifty U.S. dollars per pint to the Republic of North Viet Nam."
Carlos Machado was 15 years old in 1963 when the bullets shattered his body. His twin brother and father collapsed beside Carlos from the same volley. All had resisted Castro's theft of their humble family farm.
On Christmas eve 1961 Juana Diaz spat in the face of the executioners who were binding and gagging her. They'd found her guilty of feeding and hiding "bandits" (Cuban rednecks who took up arms to fight Castro and Che's theft of their family farms. Farm collectivization was no more voluntary in Cuba than in the Ukraine. And Cuba's kulaks had guns—at first anyway. Then the Kennedy-Khrushchev pact left them helpless against Soviet tanks and flame- throwers.) When the blast from that firing squad demolished her face and torso Juana Diaz was six months pregnant.
You will search the MSM 50th Anniv. stories in utter vain for any mention of (fully documented) mass-murder and jailings or torture—on the part of the Castros that is.
This is old news to most of us, but hey!--le's take a page from the commies own book! Repeat, repeat, repeat, and maybe it'll finally sink in?......
Nah. Because ours is the truth. That stuff only works with Commie lies, as Winston Churchill observed:
"The russian Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter so long as there is reiteration. They have no difficulty whatever in countering a fact by a lie which, if repeated often enough and loudly enough, becomes accepted by the people". - Winston Churchill / Brighton, October 4, 1947

Humberto,
The Democratic Party and their MSM cohorts have also taken a page from the Bolsheviks and have made sure that the lies become truth and the truth become lies in America.
No wonder we're so pessimistic about America's future with the Democrats in control.
The Cuban saga is so much more painful to those families that experienced the horrors up close and personal when any of their members got executed by Castro's firing squads or they were imprisoned in horrible conditions for many years.
I know of one family here in Miami that had one of their members have almost all his blood taken away (as you described in your comments).
Three times the goons did this and took him to the firing squad while aborting execution at the last minute.
The third time he was finally executed.
What it pains me the most is how the MSM continues to ignore the horrors of Castro's tyranny when publishing news about the island.
It has been 50 very painful years and no end insight to this nightmare.

FFC, you're absolutely correct about the DEM Party and how they fit the quote from Churchill. They've mastered the technique and effectively applied it with the help of the media, academia, and Hollywood. That's why they're in power in a country that defines itself politically as center-right - i.e., control the information environment, and you control the majority ignorant, ill-informed masses.
