THANK FIDEL FOR TAKING OUT CUBA'S TRASH!

First of all, I love Cubans. The vast majority still live in Cuba and would fight fascist invaders, plantation owners, old money aristocrats, and the criminal mafias and gangs that were their former masters to the death; to the last man or woman. They will endure any hardship, accept any loss, and face any foe to keep their self determination and avoid being re-enslaved. That makes them honorable and respectable people. Being poor people, and there's nothing wrong with that; it just so happens that they do better under socialism than do people with more discretionary income like many Europeans and Americans. Different strokes for different folks. Live and let live. Even communism is better than serfdom or slavery which more closely resembles their pre 1959 existence.

Exhibiting their own cruelty, hatred for humanity, and brainwashed ignorance, Miami anti Castro"Cubans" celebrated in the streets of Miami the Cuban leader's recent illness. They celebrated by cheering, dancing in the streets, waving Cuban flags, and driving shiny new Gas guzzling SUV's through the streets with with women sticking out of the sunroofs waving still more flags. An auto exhaust fuelled CAT 6 hurricane is on the way and they're celebrating an old man's health problems by making it come faster!!
What a bunch of dumb fucks!

To understand exactly how evil, hate filled, and misguided the anti Castro "Cubans" are, we must look into their history and into the devastation they have wrought onto their own countrymen by supporting the U.S. Embargo. These days, most Cubans migrate due to hardships imposed by these bastards bribery of our corrupt government or due to a selfish quest for wealth promised by U.S. propaganda and pop culture.

So, How did these bastards get here?
The exiles came in three discernable waves.
The first wave occurred when Fidel Castro's pro-human guerrillas seized power in 1959. This is when the aristocrats, corrupt absolutist politicians, military and police officers who happily subjugated their own people, and leaders of the criminal mafias, cartels, and gangs arrived.

A second wave began in 1961 amid the nationalization of educational institutions, hospitals, private land, industrial facilities and new government restrictions on religion.
These are the lower, but still well to do nobles including owners of smaller back breaking plantations, and sweatshops. Other scum such as local corrupt politicians and "religious" people more loyal to money and the former status quo than God scurried out at this point. They knew that power now belonged to the people and that vengeance for their lives existing off the blood, sweat, and tears of their countrymen was coming.

A third wave, sometimes referred to as a second wave as well, of exiles arrived in 1980 during the Mariel Boatlift during a brief period Castro permitted insane asylum patients, convicts (thugs, gangsters, rapists, killers, smugglers, pimps, and other leftovers of the crime dynasties that once ran Cuba) and Uncle Tom's (I think they call them Ricky Ricardos down there.) to leave the island via boat. More than 125,000 political refugees reached the United States despite Coast Guard attempts to stem the movement shortly before Castro ended the boatlift.

The descendants of these selfish aristocrats who'd just as soon put a bullet in the heads of their starving destitute countrymen as give them a crumb of bread, and the other rats, degenerates, nutcases, lowlife scum, and traitors; not just to Cubans, but to all of humanity are the ones out there cheering.
The embargo which they preserve against their own countrymen has left the majority of Cubans in poverty. Despite that, Castro makes sure everyone eats! He makes sure everyone sees a doctor! He makes sure everyone works! He makes sure everybody goes to school! He makes sure everyone has a roof over their heads! What a Hero for every real Cuban and every human being! Could you imagine how devastating being cut off from the mainland would be to any small island nation without Castro? Hell, even Haiti can trade freely, but it's leaders (installed, removed, and re installed by the fascist U.S. don't deserve to shine Fidel's boots; and that's why Cuba is heaven in comparison.

The embargo has been the source of almost unanimous international criticism. Annual votes in the United Nations General Assembly that call on the U.S. to lift its sanctions pass with exceptionally large margins (173 to 3 in 2002; 179 to 4 in 2004). In the 2004 vote, only the U.S., Israel, the Marshall Islands, and Palau voted against the resolution (with Federated States of Micronesia abstaining).

The following is from a "Summary Report of American Association of World Health on Impact of U.S. Embargo on Health of Cuban People"

In 1989, the World Health Organization extolled Cuba's health care system as a "model for the world." Cuba, with its nutritional safety net, extensive system of family doctors and sophisticated tertiary care facilities, had achieved the highest quality of life indicators in Latin America, including an infant mortality rate 30 points below the average, on a par with the developed world.
But ten years later two studies, conducted by the American Public Health Association (APHA) and the American Association for World Health (AAWH), indicate the Cuban people, especially the children, are now facing dangerous shortages of medicines and medical supplies. Although some of the blame can be placed on the dissolution of the Soviet bloc countries and inefficiencies within Cuba, the APHA and the AAWH find that the fault lies primarily with the U.S. embargo of Cuba.
The AAWH's team of nine medical experts attributed the following Cuban health problems directly to the embargo:

Malnutrition -- The outright ban on the sale of American foodstuffs has contributed to serious nutritional deficits, particularly among pregnant women, leading to an increase in low birth weight babies. In addition, food shortages were linked to a devastating outbreak of neuropathy in 1993-94 affecting the tens of thousands. By one estimate daily caloric intake dropped 33 percent between 1989 and 1993.

Water Quality -- The embargo severely restricts Cuba's access to water treatment chemicals and spare parts for the island's water supply system, leading to serious cutbacks in supplies of safe drinking water, which in turn has become a factor in the rising incidence of morbidity and mortality rates from water borne diseases.

Medicines and Equipment -- Of the 1,297 medications available in Cuba in 1991, physicians now have access to only 889, and many of these are available only intermittently. Because most major new drugs are developed by U.S. companies, Cuban physicians have access to less than 50 percent of the new medicines available on the world market. Due to the direct or indirect effects of the embargo, the most routine medical supplies are in short supply or entirely absent from some Cuban clinics.

Medical Information -- Though information materials have been exempt from the U.S. trade embargo since 1988, the AAWH study concludes that in practice very little such information goes into Cuba or comes out of the island due to travel restrictions, currency regulations and shipping difficulties. Scientists and citizens of both countries suffer as a result. Paradoxically, the embargo harms some U.S. citizens by denying them access to the latest advances in Cuban medical research, including such products as meningitis B vaccine, cheaply produced interferon and streptokinase.

The cost of the embargo in human terms can be calculated both statistically and anecdotally:
AAWH visited a Cuban pediatric ward then on its 22nd day without the nausea-preventing drugs normally used in chemotherapy. The 35 children in the ward were vomiting an average of 28-30 times a day.

Cuban children with lymphoblastic leukemia are denied access to new life-prolonging drugs, such as oncaspar, patented by a U.S. company, that produces longer periods of remission and is less traumatic to the child patient, requiring only one sixth the number of injections. Left untreated, this type of leukemia is fatal in two to three months.
Pediatric-size needles for intravenous chemotherapy and glucose are in short supply, necessitating puncturing children's tiny veins with adult sized needles.

Surgeries dropped from 885,790 in 1990 to 536,547 in 1995, a glaring indicator of the decline in hospital resources such as most modern anesthetics and related equipment, specialized catheters, and disposable supplies.
The deterioration of Cuba's water supply has led to a rising incidence of water borne diseases such as typhoid fever, dysenteries and viral hepatitis. Mortality rates from acute diarrheal disease, for instance, increased from 2.7 per 100,000 inhabitants in 1989 to 6.7 in 1994. Children are disproportionately affected by such disorders.

The embargo is directly responsible for up to six month delays in AZT treatment for a total of 176 HIV patients in Cuba at a time when AZT was the only approved medication heralded for slowing the progress of the virus. As one AIDS professional told the AAWH, "The problem is that our patients don't have time to wait. innovation.
In general the embargo effectively bans Cuba from purchasing nearly one half of the new world class drugs on the market.
Four specific contributory factors of the embargo have been sited:

Ban on Subsidiary Trade The 1992 Cuba Democracy Act (CDA) imposed a ban on subsidiary trade with Cuba, severely constraining Cuba's ability to import medicines and medical supplies from third country sources. Moreover, recent corporate buy-outs and mergers between major U.S. and European pharmaceutical companies have further reduced the number of companies permitted to do business with Cuba. Prior to the passage of this Act, Cuba did over $700,000,000 worth of trade with U.S. subsidiaries, 90% of which was for food and medicine.

Licensing Under the CDA, the U.S. Treasury and Commerce Departments are allowed in principle to license individual sales of medicines and medical supplies, ostensibly for humanitarian reasons to mitigate the embargo's impact on health care delivery. In practice, according to U.S. corporate executives, the licensing provisions are so arduous as to have had the opposite effect, actively discouraging any medical commerce. The number of such licenses granted - or even applied for - since 1992 is miniscule. Numerous licenses for medical equipment and medicines have been denied on the grounds that these exports "would be detrimental to U.S. foreign policy interests."

Shipping Since 1992, the embargo has prohibited ships from loading or unloading cargo in U.S. ports for 180 days after delivering cargo to Cuba, strongly discouraging shippers from delivering medical equipment to Cuba. Consequently shipping costs have risen dramatically and further constricted the flow of food, medicines, medical supplies and even gasoline for ambulances. From 1993-1996, Cuban Companies spent an additional $6.7 million on shipping medical imports from Asia, Europe and South American rather than from the neighboring United States.

Humanitarian Aid Charity is an inadequate alternative to free trade in medicines, medical supplies and food. Donations from U.S. non-governmental organizations and international agencies do not begin to compensate for the hardships inflicted by the embargo on the Cuban public health system. In any case, delays in licensing and other restrictions have severely discouraged charitable contributions from the U.S.

So who's stopping free trade here? Who's oppressing (terrorizing?) the Cuban people? Who is limiting freedom and opportunity in Cuba? It isn't Castro. It sounds like the U.S. Government paid off by Cuba's long ago cast off filth! How could they do this to their fellow Cubans if they weren't the worst of the worst and the lowest of the low. Do children deserve to die because these "upper crust" aristocratic, plantation and sweatshop owning fucks can't live on the backs of the Cuban people anymore and because the mafiosos, cartels, pimps, and other criminals can't live off their blood and tears? The bottom line is these animals I've lambasted don't give a shit whether their fellow Cubans (children included) live or die! Fidel Castro does. That's why he's there and they aren't.

P.S. Don't forget that is was due to rejecting, then agressively stomping out plans to invade Cuba in these monsters' interest; then firing the CIA director who enacted the plans behind his back that John F. Kennedy was assasinated.
