“It was quite a moment to behold! Fidel Castro was very engaging and very energetic.” CBC member Rep. Barbara Lee. (D-Calif.) stated after the same trip.
“He’s one of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever met!” CBC member Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) announced after the trip.
And from Hollywood:
“Castro is very selfless and moral, one of the world’s wisest men.” (Oliver Stone.)
“If you believe in freedom, if you believe in justice, if you believe in democracy, you have no choice but to support Fidel Castro!” (Harry Belafonte.)
“The eight most important hours of my life,” (Stephen Spielberg describing his dinner with Castro, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.)
And also from the media:
“Fidel Castro is Cuba’s Elvis!” (Dan Rather)
“Fidel Castro is old-fashioned, courtly–even paternal, a thoroughly fascinating figure!” (Andrea Mitchell.)
“Castro has brought very high literacy and great health-care to his country. His personal magnetism is powerful, his presence is commanding.” (Barbara Walters.)
Alas, space restrains us here. The bandwith required to list all such odes to Fidel Castro would bankrupt George Soros.
As to the story with Pelaez, Columnist Joy Tiz reminds us of profound warnings issued from KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov back in 1984:
“Cynical, ego-centric people, people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie. These are always the most recruitable people (by the KGB) –people who lack moral principals – who are either too greedy or who suffer from too much self-importance.”
This description would seem to capture Pelaez perfectly: Last week on the Spanish-language TV show A Mano Limpia, a former colleague of Vicky Pelaez at New York’s El Diario/La Prensa named Miguel Ángel Sánchez, recalled Vicky’s suspension from the paper for plagiarism and how her husband Juan Lazaro (a Baruch college professor arrested with her) served as the official New York treasurer for the Peruvian Communist terrorist group Sendero Luminoso.
KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov also revealed how “those who reject Communist influence in their own country will be character assassinated…” And as it happens, Castro’s press thinks rather poorly of a FrontPage writer whom they’ve placed on the Stalinist regime’s official enemies list. “Traitor, liar and cowardly Bambi-Killer” are among the mildest insults Castro’s press hurled against your loyal servant here. (Also note how, in the 2nd paragraph, the Castro-regime’s house organ insults Frontpage Magazine, Jamie Glazov and David Horowitz.)
How to get loved by liberals – suppress freedoms, run torture chambers, kill innocent citizens. How to merge with liberals – be a Russian spy.
YES, . . . the while, rave incessantly concerning visions of bright new futures opening before the very eyes of mankind as he and she, strive together in the common effort to maintain the dignity of those many wise and daring leaders, psychological change agents who had gone before and, who are still paving the way for their children, through unceasing struggle, striving against the forces of capitalism and misery and darkness of spirit, lifting mankind and womankind from the barbarisms of dissolute ruling elites from the past, whose legacy is still to shackle young minds in the developing countries, and in our own country, depriving them of just and equal opportunities through use of a canted educational philosophy which takes from them the right to entertain and magnify not what was before, but, what ought always to have been from the productivity of the earth, a realm of supposedly forbidden knowledge, but which is now seen rather, to lead the possessors of it to the very threshold of the entrance to a brave new world, the sight of which enlivens and stimulates thoughts which have never been thunk before, and thus, now to provide the essentials of life in medical care, food, housing, and decent jobs for all; for, in respectable work which is the product of free choice, there, is freedom to be apprehended and realized—not as the product and province of those who oppress, but as the natural right of every person, beginning in childhood, a world of safety and peace where the human mind is free to explore and to know for oneself, . . . and have some of our detractors been taken "off the streets", so to speak, people who stand in the way of progress, whose every waking moment has been occupied to snatch hope from those who have for so long lived, barely lived, with nothing to look forward to except cold and want due to rising prices for the necessities of life, spiraling prices set by the huge energy and food conglomerates who collect from the poor, a never ending stream of pennies, nickels, dimes and dollars for those unseen indolent who make laws to secure their positions, nothing to look forward to except further exploitation as a mere human resource, a mere disposable commodity, supposedly made in the image of some unknowable all knowing supreme god who commands obedience to the various Societal overseers, who have more than, . . .

"…..they were rebels like the very angels of God who did not resign themselves to a sad destiny of mere mortals but instead valiantly challenged the very heavens to steal its glory!"
Isn't this precisely the story of Satan? Yet it is praised as good. These people show their true colors every time they speak. "Mere Mortals…." I guess being a human is a lowly state that shouldn't garner any real consideration. The "Collective" is what matters not mere individual mortals.
"DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE!" Why don't they move to Cuba to live near "immortal" hero and get away from this greedy Capitalist hellhole?
Castro will only be remembered by history as being the "Warden of a Prison Society!"
Can anyone tell me the likenesses and differences between Alcatraz and Cuba?
Now that the FBI has apprehended this rabid enemy of the state, along with other personae non gratae, we can be sure that Eric Holder's "Justice" Department will vigorously defend her; that Michael Moore will immediately begin filming a documentary to tell the world about the manufactured evidence in her bogus arrest, and NBC will be the first to show the slanted movie after it bombs in theaters; that Barbara Walters, faithful Castro admirer, will conduct a heart-rending interview with a tearful Pelaez; and that this "injustice" will be used as fodder for interminable speeches and sarcastic screeds by Chavez and the Castro brothers for years to come. There will be monuments built, Vicky-astride-a-stallion statues from Pinar del Rio to Oriente provinces, propaganda posters in Caracas, and schools named after the Diario la Prensa mouthpiece for darkness. One need merely glance at the coarse, distasteful image above this article to see the entire picture: Castro's latest saint for the defense of the revolution in the vulgar attire of a spider woman is the perfect metaphor for evil.
I am a Conservative and an advocate for addressing illegal immigration without denigration and I do not hate America; I believe in addressing the immigration issue of illegal workers already in the States separately from the conflict on the border with the drug cartels, gangs, new illegal immigrants, and I strongly believe in securing the border–I just do not want paramilitary groups lead by the neo Nazi JT Ready and others alike.
Here is my question and a link:
I want to know why they are together and why we allow sympathizers and friends of neo Nazis to create laws. In this picture the neo Nazi leader JT Ready and
Russell Pearce the creator of the Arizona law. Pearce has been seen with JT Ready at some events of the National Socialist Party. WHY???

Everyone must link to this site. THANK YOU!
You are very welcome, Steve! Yes, every citizen in the U.S., especially those who blindly voted for Obama, must link to that site.
Fontova great article.
The real issue should be who tghese people were in contact with. Have any been near our Supreme Court Justice to be.
People like that is mental sick. They cang grab the reality
What we learned forty years later, after the Cold War, when the American and Russian participants in the Cuban Missile Crisis sat down together to share what really went on, made the hair on the back of our necks stand up. Khrushchev got exactly what he wanted from Kennedy an agreement to also pull U.S. offensive missiles from Turkey and Italy. As part of this deal, Kennedy had insisted the Soviets keep this part of the deal quiet for at least 6 months and he sealed the agreement. Khrushchev also insisted, and got from JFK, an agreement to keep hands off Castro and Cuba forever in the future. Kennedy's acquiescence thus led to the longest Communist dictatorship in history and to the deaths of over 20,000 political dissdents. Kennedy was no hero at all.
Stand on the facts and the truth and one dispels these creepy Dems and other liars.
I've never been a fan of Fidel Castro. In my opinion,he's a walking human rights violation. This man should have been in jail a long time ago.
How many past South American dictators can anyone list? With a big sigh of temporary relief ,they are forgotten before they decompose. Then the next thug takes over.
