It’s not often that Fidel Castro shares the stage. If during one of his weekly screeds (which he refers to as “Reflections”) he briefly steps aside to highlight a quote from a foreign well-wisher or agent, that brief quote will surely echo throughout his propaganda ministry.
Among those on whom Castro has bestowed this rare honor is Vicky Pelaez, known primarily to Hispanics in the New York area for her columns (ongoing for almost 20 years) in El Diario/La Prensa, the largest circulation Spanish language paper in the U.S.
“Hers is such a well-argued document,” Castro opined in his screed of May 8 referring to an article by Vicky Pelaez, “that I do not wish to conclude this reflection without including it:
“The huge marches of this May Day condemning the pernicious anti-immigration law passed in Arizona, have shaken all of the United States,” starts Vicky Pelaez as quoted by Castro. “[The law] resembles laws passed in Nazi Germany or South Africa in the apartheid period.”
The article goes on to accuse Jan Brewer of “hate against people with an accent,” of “promoting ethnic cleansing,” and of authorizing Arizona’s police to fire upon people based on the color of their skin. It was as if Vicky was transcribing from a mainstream media/Democratic teleprompter. Castro quotes her for up to about 500 words, almost half of his screed. Again, a highly unusual honor in Castro’s universe. But then, Frontpagemag.com has already explained Castro’s discomfiture with Arizona’s SB 1070.
Ms. Vicky Pelaez became much, much better known this week when arrested by the FBI and charged (so far), along with 9 others, including her husband, of spying for the Russian Federation. The FBI affidavit stated that she traveled to an unnamed South American country to pick up cash for fellow agents in Yonkers sent by Russian handlers and to pass on messages. According to the FBI, in one 2002 trip, Pelaez returned with $80,000 stuffed into her luggage — eight bags each containing $10,000.
An item utterly unreported by the media is that Vicky Pelaez has been a faithful scribe for the Castro regime’s propaganda ministry for years. Her work appears just to the left of Fidel and Raul’s own articles. As an interesting aside, the Huffington Post also publishes a Castro court scribe, innocuously described as a “Cuba–based media analyst.”
“Fidel Castro is already immortal!” wrote Vicky Pelaez in the Castro regime’s house organ back in 2006:
“He is a man who inspired and demonstrated the fertile path of truth for other leaders!…
We had the moments of Christ, Mohammed, Confucius, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Newton, Pascal, Bolivar, Marti, Che Guevara, etc. They all left the scene, yet unlike us mere mortals, they remain immortal…..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!
Fidel Castro Ruz belongs to that glorious group of rebels! With his towering intelligence, discipline, drive, and persistence he launched his heroic struggle and gained his people’s support to fight for new and sovereign Cuba! But his fight is not over…!”
Manpower and time constraints prevent the FBI from using odes to Fidel Castro as tips to uncover Castro agents. Keeping tabs on Castro groupies would mean tailing the majority of the mainstream media pundits, Hollywood elites, and liberal arts faculties at every college and university from sea to shining sea—not to mention a plurality of Democratic legislators, including the entire Congressional Black Caucus. One only need to consider the following evidence:
“He looked directly into my eyes! Then he asked: how can we help President Obama? Fidel Castro really wants President Obama to succeed.” So exhaled CBC member Laura Richardson (D-Calif.) upon returning from a junket to Cuba in April 2009.
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.
