Cuban post offices OK'd for Internet access
ReplyDeleteA decree posted on the Web site of the government's official gazette this week authorizes Empresa Correos de Cuba to "provide access to public Internet to all naturalized persons."
Oh how many people have told us that Cuba would never allow widespread public access to the internet.
That's right, Leftside. As if Cubans don't already have complete freedom of expression and full access to the Internet, as stated many times in Granma!
ReplyDeleteWhen, oh when, will those silly fascists become tired of slandering the First Free Territory of the Americas?
Hey guys:
ReplyDeleteHere is one clued-in Agentine tourist who won't return to Cuba wearing one of those Che t-shirts worn by so many of his airhead compatriots:

Leftside, you are so ignorant of cuban reality.
ReplyDeleteI will say it again, Castro will never allow access to the internet. They need total control of the information to stay in power.
Leftside,
ReplyDeleteIt will only be those who parrot the party lines that will be granted such exclusive privileges and faculties. You are an absolute gas, an absolutely laughable man. What you fail to recognize is your human nature, whereupon you feel the need to behold and espouse such falsehoods as communism. It must be said: Your mother should have aborted you, and your father was never there, just as Fidel's family left him destitute. You are, put simply, another Anglo-American who yearns to seek a truer identity, an alternative culture to make life more vibrant. But you know nothing. You should leave this nation and move to Cuba. I have told this to many a men, many Cuban men, who say Cuba is a beautiful place, who say that they leave for economic reasons, that Cuba is their orgullo. But they no better than to leave, for they know American. It is a great gas, you know. But your are not Cuban, which makes you all the more pathetic in my book. And I know you think about that: How you were not born into a Latin American household; how you wish you were. And I tell you, you are blind; your cause is all wrong, and it is I who will have the last laugh.
The Hate
The Hate, I hope you don't die soon, because Fidel and I surely would have had the last laugh. The world laughs and feels pity for America, while Cuba has the world's sympathy.
ReplyDeleteJoel, you are the one I was looking for. The one who was just proven wrong with this announcement. And you still deny what is written in the Gaceta. Well, at least you are consistent. I wonder though, what fact of the world do the Cuban people not know that would make them turn against socialism and towards US capitalism?
Yes, Leftside, you can trim Fidel's beard while he trims your pendejos. You are still very young, I can tell. It is a damn shame. When this all comes to fruition in Cuba, sooner than later, we will both know one another; and I will tell you my name, and it is that name you will not forget and forever detest, just as are the emotions I bear for Fidel.
ReplyDeleteThe Hate
typical right wing fantasy -- what is reality they say is a lie; what they can't cope with they spew against with hate and threats. they are pitiful creatures who can't accept that their lives have been wasted with hate and anger over something they don't have the guts to try and change, only the cowardice of screaming from afar and threatening any who opposes their vile.
ReplyDeletewhen it comes to fruition you will still be screaming from the sidelines, helpless and hopeless in your ignorance that you have absolutely no control or influence as to what the future will bring.
it isn't about fidel, or raul, only the cuban people who see patria under their terms, and will never compromise with your ignorance.
have you been carrying the emotions against fidel for 50 years? how has that worked? you will pass like Helms and all the others, and not a moment too soon
You know nothing of the Cuban people, save for the majority who lack the conviction and cojones to foment change. These Cubans are like driven cattle. That is all they have ever been. Those who are discontent and ambitious will side with rival powers engineered to recourse life in that forsaken island. If I shed any ignorance it will concern the capabilities of the Cuban pueblo, their tenacity and vehemence towards waging war, their familiarity with warfare. We will have to see the outcome. But do not, young man, believe that the cuban people have a voice; do not believe they see anything under their own terms or accord. That would simply be ignorant--an indelible flaw that humans carry. You do believe in human nature, don't you?
ReplyDeleteLeftside, you think you know everything because you read a Noam Shomsky book. You must be so proud of yourself. But you are still naive regarding Cuba's regime. I recommend a confortable chair to wait for the day Castro would allow access to the internet. Never is gonna happen as long as he is alive. His bigger fear is people with information. Hence the 50+ years of sensorship.
ReplyDeleteJoel,
ReplyDeleteChomsky not Shomsky,
Internet not internet,
censorship rather than sensorship?
No need to emulate recent Cuban college graduates ;-)
Vecino de NF
Thank you Vecino, I appreciate it. English is not my first language. I had been forced out of Cuba to live in the USA thank you to Castro. It pisses me off to read somebody living in Los Angeles defending Cuba's regime.
ReplyDeleteLeftside said: "I wonder though, what fact of the world do the Cuban people not know that would make them turn against socialism and towards US capitalism?"
ReplyDeleteIt's not facts of the world what they fear the most. It's facts of Cuba and the Castro's regime they don't want them to know.
There is nothing wrong about Socialism. It's a totalitarian regime that doesn't respect individuals what's wrong.
I'm glad you have the chance to leave in a country where you have your opinion and don't go to jail for saying it out loud.
