Cuba's "New Man," alive and well at Harvard Law School

"Harvard Law School LL.M. student Aynel Alvarez Guerra, who is originally from Cuba and lived most of his life in Havana, was excited that Soderberg and Del Toro portrayed the life of Guevara and the events of the Cuban Revolution so faithfully. "I really believe that this film could help Americans rethink Cuban history and that it could contribute to the normalization of relations between the United States and my country."

"Alvarez Guerra found Del Toro's performance to have successfully embodied both the personality of Guevara and the spirit of the Cuban Revolution, and he was impressed by the candor with which the filmmakers presented Guevara's role both as a military leader and civil organizer."

Yes, Alvarez Guerra saw the same lies in del Toro's film as he got in school in Cuba. Faithfull (to the Castro script) INDEED!! It doesn't seem to occur to this shining product of Castro's educational system that there might be another version of the script.

Read the entire amazing thing here.

My husband came to this country thinking Che was all that and a bag of chips. He learned the history he'd never learned, and now everytime he hears someone speak wonders of that pig, he makes sure to educate them.

I would love to visit Cuba. It has long been a dream of mine to visit Cuba. I've long loved the Cuban classics of Ernesto Lecuona and Ignacio Cervantes, to name a few.

During a recent cruise, it was a pleasure to snorkel along the Georgetown waterfront in Grand Cayman and walk around downtown Ocho Rios. We enjoyed meeting and conversing with our tablemates.

But most thrilling was simply sitting high up on the aft deck beneath the ship's funnel, viewing Cuba with the naked eye and binoculars, following the ship's course with GPS and aeronautical charts. From Cayo Romano past Cabo Maisi, and again starting with Cabo San Antonio Lighthouse on the return leg, the ship often travelled close to Cuba. One could practically reach out and touch Nuevitas, it seemed so close.


But as long as a murderous regime holds Cuban citizens in virtual imprisonment, it's not likely I'll visit Cuba.

Now that this Hah-vud termite proposes that the dream of visiting Cuba can be had for the price of believing a lie, It's guaranteed I'll stay away.

Look for warming relations to be cleverly guided by those who 'hate America', as John LeBoutilier's book "Harvard Hates America', describes many of that institution's denizens.

What next? Swear an oath to che and see Cuba?

Swear an oath to fido and get what? Scratch tickets? Spare 'baggies' & 'los dependos'?

Sound absurd? Nah. Given what's already underway, won't plenty fall for it?

Unfortunately, I've met quite a few of these Alvarez Guerra types in the past. Most of them are weak-minded acomplejados and resentidos who are trying to fit in either with the well-to-do, non-Hispanic white leftists on compus and do this by distancing themselves from those horrid Miami Cubans, or are trying to fit in with the LATEENOS. Either way, they're quite repulsive.

Why is he here? Why isn't he back in Havana perfecting the 'paradise' that Che helped create. You can excuse it in the initial stages of their arrival, but not after they've been here a while...despicable bastard.

Well, well. Babalu friend Armando Alvarez sent me this gem. It seems this Aynel Alvaro-Guerra fellow isn't quite an innocent "Useful Idiot." Liet Col. Simmons? how 'bout this guy?

And I wonder how Aynel thwarted the diabolical "BLOCKADE!!"
